Don't Screw It Up Don't Screw It Up

We’re back!

It turns out having a kid takes up a lot of your time so we’re about 4 years late in recording a new show.  In this episode we confirm we did, in fact have a kid. And we enjoyed it so much, we’re having another one!

Also, we contemplate the name “Tree Stump” for our upcoming child.

Better late than never! We talk about our preparations, both practical and personal, for the arrival of our kid.

note: At the time of recording this episode our kid had already been born, we promise that the next episode will properly address the highly relevant event.
