    Introducing Comparing siblings’ milestones, strict vs flexible bedtime & our #1 learning on toys from Two Parents & A Podcast. Follow the show: Two Parents & A Podcast Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! Happy Friday and good MORNING.. week one of being a morning show is complete and based on your comments, early drops are here to stay. Today we’re starting with our earliest school memories (bc Alex’s “good morning” reminded Harrison of the morning announcements), plus the podcast episode (linked below) that genuinely changed Alex’s life.. and just became a weirdly full circle moment. Also: the internet did its thing. Our marathon clip went viral, someone scrolled ALL the way back on Harrison’s Instagram and found his old marathon posts, hashtagged times and all (#3hours26minutes). He doubles down on his take, then walks them back (only as far as Alex would let him lol). That flows into fantasy football, our most overrated and underrated fast food rankings (In-N-Out.. we said what we said) and Thanksgiving prep: Alex’s famous family stuffing recipe is officially in the show notes (but WARNING: it’s a “vibes” recipe). Oh, and Hawaiian pizza was invented in CANADA?! What’s on the table today?! 🧸 Parenting: the viral “skip bedtime, stay at the fair” dad.. strict schedules vs flexible parenting and the 80/20 rule we actually live by (+ a Daylight Saving check-in, the kids are winning) 🍿 Pop culture: Justin Timberlake’s tell-all docuseries is coming (can he pull a Bieber-level comeback?) and NATASHA BEDINGFIELD commented on our video with a brand new You Can See Everything theory?! 💼 Business: Canva announced changes and layoffs affecting 22% of its staff.. and Harrison has a bold prediction 🃏 Wildcard: the tweet we can’t stop thinking about: everyone is actually rooting for you We close with a Q&A from one of you guys: do we compare Tate and Rocky’s milestones? Short answer: no, and we really mean it.. we’re cheering them on to be their own unique people. That rolls right into the #1 thing we’ve learned about kids’ toys (hint: your kid doesn’t hate the toy, you just bought it too early). Hope everyone has a great weekend :-) LOVE YOU GUYS!

    Denver's 2026 Midterm Election Results You Need to Know

    Across the country and right here in Colorado, the blue wave materialized! Our state’s Democrats flipped seats, took historically red districts, and solidly sent eight dems to Congress. But statewide ballot measures told a different story with some surprising turns on conservative issues. Meanwhile in Denver, City Council gained another DSA-endorsed member and voters said “no” to foie gras. Producer Olivia Jewell Love and host Bree Davies dig into the results and discuss Colorado’s role in the national 2026 midterms. Editor's note: We recorded this on Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 11:30 p.m. Some of the numbers referenced in the episode may have changed by the time you're listening because votes are still being counted. Stay tuned for more analysis and perspective and check out today’s newsletter for a full breakdown of results.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

    Does Colorado Have a Weaponized Pooping Problem?

    TLC dropped a trailer for “The Mad Pooper” last week, a documentary featuring appearances from Colorado Springs reporters, cops, and defecation speculators about a mystery number two-er who terrorized the city for months in 2017. Meanwhile in Castle Rock, a woman known as “the bag lady” has allegedly been accosting people at gas stations and in Walmart parking lots with a smelly scam. Our resident green chile correspondent (and current candidate for House District 5) Justine Sandoval joins host Bree Davies to discuss when a quirky community character becomes a public nuisance.  Justine mentioned a previous City Cast Denver episode on Colorado’s biggest viral moments.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
