A Gray Hair & Daycare Podcast Recap

Welcome back to another Gray Hair & Daycare Podcast! In Episode 16, Frank and Carlo take us on a journey through the ups and downs of impending fatherhood, the absurdity of celebrity activism, and the joys of a well-organized spreadsheet.

Baby Josie: Still a Coconut, But With a Fully Developed Brain

Frank gives us an update on Baby Josie, who is now 33 weeks along and "drinking up to a pint of amniotic fluid per day." Her brain and nervous system are fully developed, and she's gaining about half a pound per week. Frank shares an exciting moment where he felt Josie push back on his hand, highlighting the growing anticipation for her arrival.  

George Jetson's Age and Other Silver Fox Mailbox Musings

The Silver Fox Mailbox segment brings us some interesting tidbits from YouTube viewers. One viewer points out that the Jetsons cartoon was set in 2062, making George Jetson 40 years old at the time. This sparks a discussion about the future, flying cars, and the accuracy of past predictions. Another viewer reminisces about working with Frank at Circuit City, highlighting the impact Frank's humor has had on those around him.  

Frank Rants (and We Find Out): The Selena Gomez Saga

In a new segment, tentatively titled "Frank Around and Find Out," Frank dives into current events. He discusses the new president's deportation policies and criticizes Selena Gomez's "performative activism." Frank points out the hypocrisy of a billionaire like Gomez claiming helplessness while her "people" are being deported. He also criticizes the tendency of online discourse to focus on trivial matters rather than addressing real issues.  

What Just Happened: Wegmans Triumphs, Childbirth Classes, and Hospital Tours

Frank shares some personal updates, including a successful trip to Wegmans without a "pit stop" for Kelly. They've also completed their childbirth classes, which ended up being more informative than initially expected. A hospital tour is on the horizon, bringing the reality of Josie's arrival even closer.  

Laundry, Spreadsheets, and the Scarcity Mentality

Frank shares his experience doing his first load of baby laundry and the challenges of folding tiny clothes. He also discusses creating a spreadsheet to plan Kelly's maternity leave and his own paternity leave. Interestingly, Kelly's gestational diabetes has led her to develop a newfound appreciation for Frank's love of food.  

Nursery Design Hacks and Other Comedic Observations

Kelly's comedic talents are on full display as she suggests a nursery design hack: "Give your wife carte blanche to design the nursery and then don't do any of it." Frank acknowledges the truth in her joke and promises to get started on the nursery soon.  

Until Next Time...

As always, Frank and Carlo deliver a humorous and insightful look at the challenges and joys of fatherhood. Tune in next time for more Gray Hair & Daycare adventures!
