Summary
This week, comedian and actor Kristen Schaal joins Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT…why does it take 7 hours to eat, poop, brush their teeth, read a book, and go to bed at night? The crew talks about that no fly zone between dinner time and bed time when any number of things can go wrong. And this week, it’s bath time that has Megan exhausted, soaking wet, and topless…not in a good way. Plus when Kristen Schaal hosts a party, you better believe there’s a hard out at 7pm. You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here because there’s a tiny, filthy, cranky monster that’s about to unleash holy hell until they pass out in a puddle of suds and toothpaste on top of the sheets that were just cleaned.

| 1:09.6 | And so you welcome in, friend, welcome in. You're in good company here. This week we're going to be talking about the no-fly zone that parents of young kids have from 5 to 7 p.m. that kind of precious time. It's like, you can't bother me during that time.

| 1:41.2 | Chris? I have a daughter, a name is Sunny, and she just turned two. And I have a son, |
| 1:46.3 | Conrad, and he is 13 months. All right. Well, we like to start every week with a little |
| 1:51.5 | gathering together, putting our arms around each other, and sharing a story from our parenting |
| 1:57.5 | life. We call it circle time. Basically the way this works, every week at the top of the show, we're going to open the floor for a story ripped directly from one of our wonderful and terrible parenting lives. |
