In this episode, we kick things off with our Hygge Question of the Week: “Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met?”—which leads us down a few unexpected and hilarious memory lanes. Then we put our homeowner hats on for a Would You Rather.

From there, we dive into the heart of the episode: how becoming dads has reshaped the way we see our own parents. We reflect on the generational differences in parenting styles, how much more we appreciate what our parents went through, and the way those realizations are shaping how we raise our own kids. Along the way, we swap stories about daycare transitions, robot builds, yard work fails, and sweet moments with our kids that keep us grounded (and sometimes covered in mud or glitter).
