Comedians Erin Judge and Jenny Chalikian join the show to talk about the unexpected lessons of parenting, from the comedy gold in toddler tantrums to the bizarrely specific fears kids develop (spoiler: escalators are a menace). Erin shares the surreal experience of their child explaining emotions with unsettling accuracy, while Jenny recounts a grocery store meltdown that ended in a surprise life lesson. They also discuss the struggle of balancing comedy careers with the chaos of raising kids and the weirdest places they've ever had to take a work call. Plus, a debate on the proper punishment for stepping on a LEGO—because some offenses deserve more than just an "oops." ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!
