Summary
We contemplate the nature of unsolicited advice, and hear from listeners about struggling to have a second child, "birth goals," and a fertility clinic in Ohio offering a seemingly great deal. Plus, we enlist the help of a friend of the podcast to answer a question about how to go through IVF when your mom has recently died.

| 0:35.6 | the piano I did alone. The couch. Who helped you up do the couch? The couch I could not handle by myself. |
| 0:43.3 | A young dad by the name of Chris Cula came over from Burbank and we moved the couch. |
