About Wake Up with Jim & Saab:
New parents Jim Bacarro & Saab Magalona know how tough it is to find time for each other now that they're working extra hard to pay the bills and to keep their baby boy Pancho happy & healthy. They've created this podcast to make sure they still make time for each other (in between actual dates, of course). They want to share stuff they learn with other new parents who don't know what the heck they're doing either. Most of the time they go way off track to discuss music, movies, and other stuff they love/hate.
