In this episode, Scarlet and Mitchell are back with stories from road trips, family visits, hotel adventures, and—unfortunately—fleas and yellowjackets. From parenting challenges to airline baggage woes, it’s a classic “doing the most” kind of week.

What We Talk About

• Scarlet’s “Worst Day Ever”
  A chain of disasters: solo parenting, a cranky toddler, a run-in with a rude diner, and a very painful yellowjacket sting at a farm that turned into a nightmare.
• Generations & Parenting Styles
  Scarlet vents about the Baby Boomer generation, while praising today’s millennial dads for stepping up and creating real partnerships at home.
• Mitchell’s Lost Luggage Saga
  After a cross-country road trip, Mitchell flies home—only to discover Alaska Airlines misplaced his bag (with his CPAP machine inside). Hear how customer service confusion, “blue versus gray” suitcase debates, and sleepless nights led to a surprisingly emotional reunion with his luggage.
• Hotel Life on the Road
  From sketchy motels to Bluetooth bathroom mirrors, Mitchell shares what he discovered while driving across the Midwest. Plus, a questionable “wheelchair accessible” room and a few eyebrow-raising housekeeping moments.
• Mall of America & What’s Next
  Mitchell gives first impressions of Minnesota’s mega-mall (yes, there’s a whole amusement park inside). Scarlet teases a possible trip there later this year.
