In this snack-sized follow-up, Ophira Eisenberg leads rapid-fire parenting confessions with Gaytriarchs podcast hosts David FM Vaughn and Gavin Lodge. David admits the last thing he said “no” to was sending an iPad to camp—earning him a daily pout and a stompy “I don’t even like this house anyway.” Gavin, meanwhile, cops to banning extra TikTok time, while also offering his trademark “just you wait” warnings to David’s younger-dad optimism. The trio skewer “gentle parenting” as equal parts guilt trip and impossibility, swap stories of murderous rage over mis-put-on shoes, and debate whether edibles really improve playtime. Both dads confess what they’d do anything to avoid—David votes small talk with other parents, Gavin volunteers trampoline duty—and end with a top-three list of the worst parts of back-to-school, from endless colds to forgotten assignments to being forced into yet another Parent Square group. As Gavin sums up, it’s hard to focus on gentle parenting when your kid slaps you with baloney.

📍September Shows are in Fairfield, CT, Bloomington & Plainfield IN, Iowa City, IA, and NY!
