We're still in awe of how they put dinner on the table night after night. But the cooking grease under the sink or the alfalfa sprouts among the glassware? Not so much.

Maybe it's the four-hour plane ride. Maybe it's the old unhappy memories. Maybe it's some recent memories that aren't so great. For whatever reason, there are some places we'd really just as soon leave behind.

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed podcast:

00:57 Dancing with the Stars: It's the semi-finals! The question of whether this is a dance contest or a popularity contest rages on, and takes down a serious contender in Simone Biles.

15:30 The West Wing: The title of this week's ep is "War Crimes," but said crimes are just a fraction of the plot points that come into play: everything from Donna testifying under oath to Toby's Disappointed Dad routine to Sam's new obsession with the penny. Up next week: "Gone Quiet." (Mentioned: West Wing Weekly Podcast)

Challenge Round: We're keeping The Martian in space for another week and will discuss this movie next time.

Before there were computers and smartphones and fancy prefab fidget spinners, we kept ourselves distracted with ... taking apart pens. Peeling pencil paint. Unwinding paper clips. Doodling. So much doodling. (For more on fidget spinners, listen to our interview with Robert Rummel-Hudson on Episode 169.)

Ah, sleep time, when the subconscious opens the door on every stupid thing you could possibly imagine worrying about or wondering about or thinking about, and these things parade across your consciousness. Meet some of our cast of thousands.

00:32 Holding a Grudge: Nicole has a bone to pick with a high school boy.

06:25 Well, That's a Bummer: There's a very fine line between encouragement and overselling, and between our kids' disappointment and our own. We try to walk it ... very carefully. (Shout-out to our live studio audience: Nicole's dog.)

22:42 Friday Speed Round—Our Kids' Best Qualities: From fantastic memory to nerves of steel, we celebrate the qualities we admire in our kids.

29:38 Roundabout Roundup: Terri enjoyed this video from the junior Gaffigans, Catherine enjoyed this podcast ep on high-school and college search stress, and Nicole enjoyed shopping at Kirkland's.

32:35 Interview of the Week: Terri talks with Robert Rummel-Hudson about what happens when something that's an accommodation for kids with special needs catches on and becomes a fad (ahem, fidget spinners). Mentioned: "When Disability Is Misdiagnosed as Bad Behavior."

46:06 Shameless Self-Promotion: The PR Podcast Instagram feed, 8 Favorite Special Education Websites for Teachers and Parents, Mother's Day Medals for Moms.

In which we download but maybe do not keep apps for virtual reality, car financing, and (Terri's nemesis) Spotify.

Howdy, neighbor! Have you a baseball mitt we might borrow? A wheelbarrow? A hand-me-down wardrobe, perhaps?

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode:

00:33 Dancing with the Stars -- Trio Night brought a trio of stupidly sexist dances (with varying levels of grossness), but it also brought an end to Bonner's time in the ballroom. Adios, cowboy!

13:05 The West Wing -- The wonk was strong in this week's episode, "On the Day Before," but there were also some sweet Josh and Donna scenes that made up for a lot.

19:15 Challenge Round -- Terri challenged Catherine to watch an episode of Brothers & Sisters, which she used to recap back in the day. It's a star-studded (Sally Field! Rob Lowe! Marion "Mrs. Cunningham" Ross!), gently soapy affair that's a lot of fun to watch. For next time, Catherine challenged Terri to watch the 2015 movie The Martian (available on Amazon Prime or possibly your cable provider).
