    Episode 39 - When the kids finally go to school

    Matt and Tim are back and celebrating Tim's 40th birthday with their 39th episode - in typical BOD Pod fashion. On this episode the boys talk about the promised land, or gut wrenching changes involved with sending both your kids off the school full-time. Matt shares how he is adapting to the new schedule, freedom and search for purpose. Plus, what do you do when your kids start asking about death? Tim reports back from parenting's front lines. And childcare facilities across the country are closing, so why does no one seem to care?

    Episode 37: Our interview with Lakewood City Councilperson Bryan Evans

    Episode 36: What This Year Taught Us About Parenting

    Welp, it's been a year, has it not? Time for Matt & Tim to reflect on the biggest parenting takeaways of a year that brought us the Paris Olympiad, rat-shaped holes in Chicago, and the ever encroaching doom of Artificial Intelligence. Side note: when will it take the job of stay-at-home parents? TAKE ME NOW, GOD. Plus, what happens when you stop pretending you don't have kids in work and other social settings? Tim decides to find out. And it's time to return to everyone's favorite controversial subject - daylight saving time.

    Episode 35: Post-Election Nightmare...Err Special

We've got election hot takes as undisciplined, uninformed and one-sided as we always do. Find out what has us freaked out about Trump 2.0. Plus, the trick-or-treat takeaways from this year's candy haul. And Matt makes us all feel inadequate as he plans an awesome party for his son.

    Got kids headed off to school for the first time? Thinking your kid needs prepped for pre-k? Morbidly curious about how ugly of a crier you'll be at the first day drop off? Matt & Tim are here to answer all your questions from pre-k and beyond - like, what's with that "T" in kindergarten? The Germans, really? The beer's enough, we don't need the spellings. Get a download on early childhood education from two guys with no formal training, but all the misplaced confidence to share their perspectives. Plus, are neighborhood schools destined for the history books? The guys cover some local headlines that could be playing out in your community. And what does the perfect Presidential ticket look like - for a 5 year old? We offer critical insight.

Then, we discuss the Surgeon General's Op-Ed about placing tobacco-style warnings on social media sites for kids. Plus, some tips on summer travel from a parent who nearly got his daughter's leg ripped off by a moving train (no gore in this episode, we promise). And the boys get a little misty eyed over firsts and lasts.

    Episode 32: What to do about screen time (and cutting the cord of a very deferens kind)

    Matt & Tim return to the studio to discuss screen time. How much is too much? When did you introduce screens in your child’s life? Which episode of Bluey makes you cry? We share all our learned insights. Plus, we talk cord cutting that’s totally unrelated to the television set. You might say it’s a vas deferens topic all together. And the guys share their views on everything from Cleveland Browns stadium proposals to getting plucked of Disney Cruise Ships.
