On this week's entertainment-themed episode, two pretty tough episodes of Ted Lasso. Characters struggled with daddy issues, panic attacks, head injuries, and a drubbing from Manchester City (plus a probably inappropriate, but irresistible, workplace romance). Next: Season 2, episode 9, ”Beard After Dark,” and episode 10, “No Weddings and a Funeral.” Mentioned: The Baseball 100 by Joe Posnanski, Linda Holmes's TL recaps at NPR.org, and Roy Kent fan sweatshirts at The Shop Forward.

We totally fell for a clickbait-y headline about a mom bringing four uninvited guests to kids' birthday parties, and had to talk about it. Of course, the situation was much more nuanced than the title implied--and so are the rules about who should go to birthday parties.
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
From the West Coast to the East Coast, from the suburbs to the sprawl, we shout out some cities we've loved or liked or had mixed feelings about. It's complicated.
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from December 2019.
According to an article in US News and World Report, eating foods including salmon, chickpeas, watercress, and sauerkraut could help soothe anxiety and stress. We note that chocolate, cookies, and Cheez-its seem to work equally well. At the very least, they don't add stress. Mentioned: Jameela Jamil on Justin Long's podcast, Life is Short.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine discovered she has a talent for axe-throwing. Nicole shouts out a portable projector that lets you turn any blank wall into a movie screen. And Terri recommends the audiobook Nine Nasty Words: English in the Gutter: Then, Now, and Forever (but maybe use earphones, depending on who else can hear it).
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
An adorable Instagram post from musician (and father of many little kids) Thomas Rhett got us obsessing about the old saying, "The days are long, but the years are short." It's true, but not necessarily something you want to hear when you're in the trenches. (And the days may be long, but the nights are endless!)
In lieu of a New Year's resolution, some people (like author Karen Walrond) choose a word of the year to represent their hopes and intentions for the coming year. This, of course, is too much pressure for us, so we can't take it seriously. But we do want to know if you have a special word for 2022. Tweet it at us @roundaboutchat!
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, two more episodes of Ted Lasso, season two. "Rainbow" was a delightful rom-com tribute that nicely followed up the preceding episode, "Carol of the Bells," and its Love Actually inspirations. And "The Signal" gave us plenty of dating-app hi-jinks along with a nice victory for the team and for Nate. Next: Episodes 7 and 8 of season 2, "Headspace" and "Man City."
Happy New Year! We are not resolution people, so we figured: Why not think big, and make some ambitious pledges that we know we won't follow up on? Mentioned: Artful Agenda, Terri's Roundabout Roundup pick from a few months ago. She's still using it, which is quite an endorsement.
