We're back for episode thirteen! Today the boys welcome you into their new studio (even though you can't see it yet)! Discussion includes: how Matzoh is a terrible desert food, being a "kept" man, opinion overload, being vulnerable on social media, a moment or meal we would like to relive for the first time (fan question), phone zombification and the inability to be bored, the expectation of being in touch, forgetting what our children looked like at earlier stages of life, and the qualities of ourselves from the past that we cringe at. Also, Stephen organically does a lot of impressions.

On this week’s POD, our hosts are back from a recent boys’ trip to Spain, and are still trying to catch their breath! The conversation centers around food, friends, and the families waiting at home. Eventually, the discussion pivots towards corporate complexities, incentive structures, and the mind-melting effect bureaucratic nonsense has on the population at large. Other topics include: the recent rise in cigarette coolness, vintage shopping abroad, redefining the term “bathhouse,” and paternity leave as a small-business owner.

Welcome back to Child of Dog! On today's episode, the boys take questions and commentary from a few listeners. One wonders why Stephen is so unwilling to discuss conspiracy theories on the pod, and another wonders what the hosts think about Valentine's day. In their usual back-and-forth manner, Stephen and Ben reflect on the best and worst holidays, age-old questions like: can you see the "man in the moon" and do people have a good side and a bad side? Other topics include: childhood levitation, Stephen's aversion to cherubim, the best Reese's holiday shape, fruit and nuts in dessert, the end of summer, "Sunday scaries," and exposing children to extreme temperatures in the pursuit of mental and physical fortitude.
