Episode notes
Neil and Ali go deep, and sometimes off the rails, in the Parenting Trends 2025 episode. From luxe skincare for kids to Type C parenting to tradwives on TikTok, six-day Halloweens to inchstone parties, and more, they tackle the weird, funny, and revealing ways modern parents are trying to “get it right.” Along the way, Neil shares a surprisingly moving story about reconnecting with his Jewish roots in Paris, Ali admits to driving a motorized grocery cart, and they debate everything from designer babies to sleep maxing. It’s heartfelt, ridiculous, and very, very real. This episode’s got it all! Nostalgia, moral debates, and fish-sauce marinated pork chops. Some are calling it one of the funniest, most wide-ranging World’s Greatest Dad episodes yet. Who are "some"? Well you've got to listen to find out.
