On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from June 2019.
Summer brings travel, and travel brings us such a lengthy list of to-dos and don't-forgets that maybe it's easier to just stay home.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Terri's just one of many fans of Father Mike Schmitz's Catechism in a Year podcast. Nicole's caring for her local "community" cats with a cushy heated blanket. And all you need to know about the article Catherine's recommending is the title: An Oral History of the Time Six Doctors Swallowed Lego Heads to See How Long They'd Take to Poo.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
Last week, we talked about parents using baby monitors to supervise big kids. Then we heard about a mom who tracked her kid down in cyberspace--not to quit playing games, but to defrost a lasagna for dinner. Brilliant!
On today's episode, we're complaining about Facebook's algorithm serving us up ads for clothing and shoes "for mature women." Listen, just because we like comfortable, roomy clothes and some nice arch support doesn't mean we are old!
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we caught up with the Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum rom-com The Lost City, a delightful tropical adventure (ancient parchment! a volcano! leeches on someone's very attractive butt!).
Then we moved to the also beautiful setting of Justin's rehab facility in Brothers and Sisters, for some family squabbling right in front of Justin's peers and therapist. Good times! Next: S1 E12, "Sexual Politics." We'll also check out NBC's reboot of Night Court. Don't make us regret it, NBC.
After reading the life advice Sahil Bloom collected from 90-year-olds (found via Liz Gumbinner's Substack), we talked about what advice made sense to us, what scared us, and what we're already doing (*pats self on back*).
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Our thoughts on what's overrated cover rather a lot of ground: Beaches. Amusement parks. Water parks. Camping. Leaving the house ever.

A recent poll of dads finds that many of them feel "shamed" by comments about their parenting. We say "hey, that's our turf! Move along!" And also, we prefer to call it "educating" instead of "shaming."
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Catherine shouts out a fun store called BoxLunch, where you can buy fun goodies like a Hufflepuff ramen bundle. Nicole binged all of White Lotus season 2 in a single day, and Terri's recommending a new breakfast strategy: Oats Overnight.

The topic generator that is Julie Jargon at the Wall Street Journal strikes again, this time with an article titled "These parents use baby monitors to track older children--even teens." We obsessed about whether or not this is ever a good idea (and how it's at least a little tempting).
