This is part two of a two-parter (Part 1 is Episode #63). We don't really love the whole concept of "Parenting Hacks," because any trick that promises to make this sh*t-show easy is typically a load of hooey, and one-size-fits-all solutions don't work nearly as often as they claim to. But there are a handful of things Max and Matt have figured out over the years - mostly through trial and a comedy of errors - that have made certain aspects of the grind a little bit easier. On this Hot Takes episode, The Boys are sharing those hopefully helpful strategies with each other. We worked backward from common hangups. Max sent a bunch of his daily annoyances over to Matt, who tried to offer any useful solves he's worked out over the years... and vice versa. These bad boys run the gamut from how to avoid "sheepdogging" your kid from one room to the next at bedtime, to finding fun summer activities that don't cost an arm and a leg, to dealing with your kids' inevitable desire to look at your phone. Here we go!

Matt and Max talk about a very recent moment when Max screamed at his kids.

When=Now Episodes are a second bonus episode we drop some weeks. The topic is something that's going on in our life right now. Less research, more gritty, no editing, and more free flowing. Enjoy!
