    We're talking MONEY today on the pod.

    8 WEEKS LEFT! 8 WEEKS LEFT!

    With only two months until the due-date, there’s no time to waste. So what do we do? We tease Steven and Molly’s baby’s name, talk about the reality of baby showers for the dad, and we test another of Steven’s fatherly-instincts: is sense of taste.

    Jake and Steven compete to see who can best discern flavors in a blind babyfood taste test. It’s a ball.
