On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Much to Nicole's dismay, Terri tried sardines (to strengthen her bones) and described the experience in great detail. Plus, she learned that you can indeed scramble eggs in the microwave. Nicole had to go to her happy place after that and recommended beautiful Whistler, British Columbia as a vacation destination. And Catherine discovered that her favorite hand-me-down jeans from Kut from the Kloth are not irreplaceable after all. 

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

Somehow ketchup chips did not even come up in this discussion of family food habits and obsessions. But you will find out who refuses leftovers, who eats whatever's put in front of her, and why Valley Popcorn is the superior brand.

With two of our daughters newly experiencing roommate life, we shared our stories of unwelcome boyfriends, unpalatable communal meals, and ungenerous toilet-paper monitors. 

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we kick off two new series watches. First, we finally get on the Ted Lasso train to see what all the fuss is about. And we check out Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as ... podcasters. Mentioned: Pop Culture Happy Hour on Only Murders in the Building and the NBC Sports promos that inspired Ted Lasso​.

Next week, we'll watch season 1, episode 2 of both shows: "Who Is Tim Kono" (Only Murders in the Building) and "Biscuits" (Ted Lasso). 

Thanks to an old article about Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard getting some new traction, we talked about tag-team parenting. Who was on our team (if anyone) and who was the MVP? Mentioned: Our recent discussion about school strategies (which included befriending other parents so you can recruit them onto your team). 

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.

Though it seems like we already have too many channels to watch, we can still think of a few we wish we could see — whether they don't exist yet or our cable companies limit us.

A Buzzfeed article about a chart comparing stay-at-home and working moms prompted us to talk about all the different points on that spectrum that we've experienced. And to remind everyone to live and let live.

When our kids were small, we fussed over their boo-boos and sniffles. Now that we're ... a little older, we're the ones with the owies, and we would like some of that sympathy returned to us, please and thank you.
