On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.
Borrowing a refrain from the Extra Hot Great podcast, we declare "I am not a crackpot" when we insist that buffets must have more than one item, Terri's dishwasher is freakin' LOUD, and teachers ought to, you know, like children. Want more? Listen to the rest of this January 2017 episode.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine recommends the book My Sister the Serial Killer (it's not what you think), while Terri suggests snacking on Pretzel Pop Tarts. And on Nicole's Instagram Minute: Best of NextDoor.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
We like the idea of houseguests, as long as they're very occasional. And don't stay too long. And don't mind doing some cleaning and minor repairs while they're here.
Just like this writer at Grown and Flown, we have some issues with the career advice that urges seekers to "follow their passion." Because sometimes your passion just isn't a job, and sometimes you don't want to ruin your passion by turning it into a job.
What We’re Watching: ZEP “Zoey’s Extraordinary Night Out” and Veronica Mars “Return of the Kane”3/17/2020
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, Zoey has an Extraordinary Night Out, with an extraordinary amount of singing and dancing (yay). Next on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist: "Zoey's Extraordinary Confession."
On Veronica Mars's "Return of the Kane," the Bad Dads of Neptune show their true colors, and Jane Lynch pops in too. Next: "The Girl Next Door."
Since the coronavirus is definitely the only thing anyone is talking about, we talked about it too. But this was way back on Wednesday, March 11. Things have definitely changed since then: Two of Terri's family members were laid off from work, Catherine's kids schools are converting to digital learning this week, most churches have gone virtual, and Nicole's daughter won't get to become a citizen at the LA Convention Center with 10,000 other people. We remind you that we have a giant archive of podcast episodes for your social distancing needs.
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Our couches get a workout, between dogs and kids and grown-ups who fall asleep there. We assess the sorry state of our sofas and congratulate Nicole on her shiny new, though still problematic, addition to the furniture family. What shape is your couch in?

Sure, we like our kids to do well in school. But should parents be obsessing about their kids' grades? And fighting every dent in the GPA? And crowing about great grades on Facebook? We're trying for that A in laid-back parenting, but it's a super-hard class. Want more? Listen to the rest of this January 2017 episode.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Nicole's back with another funny, inspiring Instagram account: Fruits of Motherhood. Catherine discovered a miracle-worker for her daughter's painfully tight muscles, the TENS unit. And Terri learned that a TV show can be hilarious entertaining even when you don't actually watch it: The Stranger on Netflix.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
When kids say something like "I'm stupid," a parent's first instinct is to tell them they're wrong. But in this case, our instincts are, well, wrong and stupid. What's the best way to help kids who are down on themselves? Mentioned: The "growth mindset" concept.
