 We've got to do this more often. It was fun catching up on the podcast. Well, we're married. So we spend a lot of time together. But this episode felt good.  We've got a new setup, too! Using a Rode mic I picked up. Running it straight through some software on the ol computer.  I hope you enjoyed the podcast. :) Get in touch:  Parenting vs. Podcast can be found at parentingvspodcast.com  Instagram @parentingvspodcast All our music is made by Jeff: https://soundcloud.com/jeff-omidvaran

In this episode we jump in discussing the book Lindsey is working on. (Lorenzo seems a little butthurt that she hasn’t asked him to read it.)  But, for real. We all need a little downtime. Right? Is it childish to play video games at 40? Probably. Is it selfish to prioritize what’s on your phone over your kids? I don’t know. Does our brain need a bit of downtime in this crazy life? Absolutely.  We hope you have a healthy escape. We’re leaning, too.  Get in touch:  Parenting vs. Podcast can be found at parentingvspodcast.com  Instagram @parentingvspodcast All our music is made by Jeff: https://soundcloud.com/jeff-omidvaran

 You heard me. This guy steals the show in my opinion. If you haven't seen the righteous gemstones on HBO yet, ya gotta check it out.

Creativity... What does it mean to be creative? I asked the large language model and this is what she said. that are original and meaningful. It involves the process of combining existing knowledge, skills, and experiences in novel and imaginative ways to produce something unique and innovative. Being creative means having the capacity to think divergently, break away from conventional patterns, and approach problems or tasks from fresh perspectives. AI chatbots aren't creative yet. But humans are. Humans are great and we wanted to talk about that. Maybe we ran our mouths too much in this one? I mean, what's new, right? We're always running our mouths. I think the difference here is I had a chance to edit it out and I still didn't. Jokes on me.  Will the bots ever possess creativity?  Here's what an AI bot imagined an AI bot would look like if it had a physical body.  Get in touch:  Parenting vs. Podcast can be found at parentingvspodcast.com  Instagram @parentingvspodcast Twitter @parentingvspod All our music is made by Jeff: https://soundcloud.com/jeff-omidvaran

 This is a journey. Try and stick with us for this hour and a half recording and if you do, you've earned what is coming to you. Respect. Pure respect.  That didn't make any sense. I wish I would have asked ChatGPT to write this. But seriously, who reads these anyway? Not me.  Our talk on ADHD. Enjoy.

Okay, we're pretty bad at this whole keeping up with stuff. This podcast was recorded on October 29, 2022. Hopefully we didn't say anything bad in this recording. Who am I kidding? We probably did.

 Where are Lindsey's Birkenstocks? Also, where's are dang American Dream?  We don't know the answer to any of these questions. But I do have a separate completely unrelated question: Why do rappers sometimes make those little bird noises in the background of their songs?  Get in touch:  Parenting vs. Podcast can be found at parentingvspodcast.com  Instagram @parentingvspodcast Twitter @parentingvspod All our music is made by Jeff: https://soundcloud.com/jeff-omidvaran

 This episode has been "in the can" of some time. We recorded it on 4/3/22 but I just got around to editing it today. Also, what the heck is "in the can" anyway? I guess it's just radio or recording lingo. Yeah, looks like it's an old recording term. The "can", in our case is our iPhone with the Shure Mic attached. This episode has been there for a while. What am I even talking about? Does anyone even read this? I could go on and on talking about whatever I wanted with a fair amount of confidence that nobody ever would read this. I am the only one reading this. I am my only audience. ... Hi, me.  Just kidding. In this one I'm not sure what we talked about. I'm sure it was super interesting and engaging. I hope you enjoy!

Bird nerding. That's what we called this episode. I think we briefly talked about birds in our discussion? Birds aren't the only thing we discussed. We went into the nitty-gritty. Talked about our faith a bit. Got interrupted by kids a few times. It was a good time, maybe.

Okay, so the last two years seems to have passed by in like three months. It feels like life is accelerating faster than a Tesla S Plaid, and we're left in the dust with our iPods and Burt's Tiki Lounge. In this episode we talked about what it feels like to be behind in technology, in fashion. We're not really that young anymore, and that can feel weird sometimes.  We hope you enjoy this episode.

 It's been a little while since we've had a date night since we've moved. We're ready. Luckily, we think we found a good sitter. Life's changed for us. We no longer have our parents in the same town who are kinda sorta ready to watch our kids for us while we take a break. A whole new world. In this episode we talk about it. The songs we played were Norupo by Heilung, and Elevator by Holy Holy. Check them out! Also, please check out Barelas Podcaster's Guild, All Sick.
