Neil and Ali are officially declaring it: there are cheat codes in life, and this week they have the receipts. In a wide-ranging episode inspired by the Adam Sandler film Click, the guys break down the parenting hacks they actually use to survive modern fatherhood. Neil walks through an entire curriculum of real-world tips: the museum membership hack that gives you unlimited free outings, the Home Depot Saturday woodshop most parents have never heard of, and a three-step survival guide for taking your kids to Target (dollar bin, cake pop, scanner, in that order). There is also a full breakdown of why IKEA is the ultimate rainy day destination, how to time the deployment of a coloring book at dinner, the toy rotation trick that Ali politely calls toy prison, and the glow stick bath time hack that may or may not be a good idea. Ali brings his own list, including a thoughtful approach to getting your kid to actually talk to you after school pickup without the phone winning. And of course all of these parenting lifehacks brought to you wrapped in the usual detours through physical media nostalgia, Bed Bath and Beyond coupons, and the philosophical question of whether crashing a hotel breakfast buffet counts as a family activity.
