Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode: 00:33 The Good Place: Terri has a theory about the connection between this show and a classic movie... and she's not alone! 09:56 Challenge Round: Suits: Terri challenged Catherine to watch an episode of USA Network's Suits, starring Prince Harry's fiancée, Meghan Markle. Catherine enjoyed the legal drama and the peek at the princess-to-be. For next time, Catherine challenged Terri to listen to a few episodes of Little House on the Podcast: The recap of season 1, episode 10 from May 30, 2017, and from last month, the recap of season 2, episode 15. We'll also watch the next episode of The Good Place ("Rhonda, Diana, Jake, and Trent") and get back to the West Wing with "Holy Night" from season 4. 00:31 Homework Crisis: What assignment did Catherine's son leave to the last minute? Recording a podcast! 06:43 Just Trying to Help!: Step in, and you're judgey. Ignore, and you're heartless. What do you do when another parent is in a jam... in public? 23:50 Speed Round: Parenting Classes: After reading this list of 9 Parenting Classes We Wish Existed, we have some suggestions for the course catalog. 32:43 Roundabout Roundup: PosCast 1st Annual Holiday Song Blowout; My Shadow Son, by Gayle Brandeis at the Washington Post; and I, Tonya. 38:52 Shameless Self-Promotion: The Mauro 10-Point Comfort Scale for Award Show Dresses; 4 Different Ways to Evaluate Student Progress in the Inclusive Class; Teach Your Tot Tenacity.

Here's a this or that for you: delicious ice-cream-rich beverage or something people use to hide spinach and worse? Yeah, Nicole and Terri are all-in for milkshakes. Catherine ... well, we'll stay her friend, we guess, but we're not going to drink anything she gives us. We've got our piles of past concert souvenirs, sure, but the cost of doing memorabilia business has gotten to us in recent years. From cheesesteaks to gelato, barbecue to ketchup chips, we shout out some location-specific specialties we love. Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode: 00:30 The Golden Globes: Awards season is here. We start with a show that's mercifully filler-free, but so chockablock with awards that it's hard to keep up. Also, #Oprahsglasses4Prez. 15:06 The Good Place: Watching one episode of a show at a time, when it comes out? How unusual! But we're here for it. Mentioned: The Good Place and No Context The Good Place on Twitter (only follow/read if you're okay with spoilers!). 22:50 Challenge Round: Bridesmaids: Catherine challenged Terri to watch the 2011 movie, mostly to make sure she checked it off her entertainment bucket list. While we could do without the cringe-com, we are all about the rom-com. For next week, Terri challenged Catherine to watch an episode of Suits, starring future royal bride Meghan Markle (season 2, episode 13, "Zane vs. Zane.") We'll watch that and the next Good Place, but no West Wing yet. That should return for our January 23 episode. 00:37 Hawaii Report: Catherine shares some highlights of her trip; Terri's just glad her fellow podcaster didn't stumble into an episode of Hawaii Five-0. 10:21 Celebrating 200 Episodes: My, how we've changed, and grown, and spent a whoooole lot of time talking. 24:38 Monday Speed Round: 200-Item Wish List: Why yes, we can think of a few things we'd like 200 of. And at least one is in your power to give to us, listeners! 33:36 Roundabout Roundup: Legacy Villas vacation condos; SmartWool and Darn Tough socks; Dear Evan Hansen virtual choir and Greatest Showman workshop performance. 38:33 Shameless Self-Promotion: Your Daring and Delightful Preschooler, Explained; 4 Different Ways to Evaluate Student Progress in the Inclusive Class and 7 Websites for Helping Your Children Learn Curriculum Content; podcast archives (point to "Episodes" in the top right corner of the podcast home page).
