In this long-overdue episode of Parenting vs. Podcast, Lorenzo and Lindsey pick up where they left off — and they have a lot to say. From the ICE killings in Minneapolis to the Epstein files fallout, the couple dives headfirst into the political chaos gripping the country right now. They talk about civic responsibility, why "I'm not political" is no longer an excuse, and the wave of feminist rage hitting millennial and Gen X women. But it's not all heavy — they also catch up on life: new jobs, coding projects, a real estate license, a passport finally in hand, and the small victories of ditching the Apple Watch for a Casio. A raw, honest, and unfiltered check-in from two parents trying to make sense of the world while keeping their household running.

 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

AI this, AI that. I love tech and I'm tired of hearing about AI. I guess it's part of our lives now. We talk about some things. Mothers Day. AI.

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.
