First Time Parents
First time parents are so sweet. The way they think that no one has ever had a baby before, or that their baby is the cutest in the world, or that the child's needs come before everything and everyone else's in the universe.

Watch this episode and you won't know who needs to chill out more, new parents or the unstable and slightly neurotic hosts. DadLabs Ep. 65 The Lounge.
