<p>Dylan and Phil are old friends and newer dads. Escape with them into the basement as they dive into the movies, shows, and songs their toddlers - and subsequently themselves- are really into. </p>

Episode 44: K-Pop Demon Hunters

Phil subjects Dylan to a “blind react” of the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, and the two have a conversation about expanding their worldviews and helping their kids connect to other cultures. A quiz is popped, a secret family is revealed (or is it?), and we pop a record onto the good sound system in the basement- tune in, it’s gonna be golden!

Episode 42: Life, the Universe, and Everything

Grab your towel and stick out that thumb, Dylan and Phil are taking a cue from Douglas Adams and reflecting on life, their kids’ expanding view of the universe, and what it all means. Learn how, in Evanston, trees (much like petunias) just fall from the sky. Be in awe as the kids befriend the most alien creatures Museum Campus has to offer. And reflect on the deep, philosophical questions only a 6 year old could ask. And whatever you do- DON’T PANIC!
