    Dad Like You Have Twins with guest Dr. Joshua Plummer

    Doctor Joshua Plummer is a clinical psychologist in Providence, RI. He is also the father of sixteen month-old twins. He also happens to be the son of frequent guest Dr. Barry Plummer. We don't know exactly how many clinical psychologists are in the family, but if we find enough every episode will feature Dr. Plummer.  Josh talks about the (drastic) changes in his life and schedule and how much he leans on his wife for everything from when its time to baby proof to managing the crazy schedule in their home.
