00:31 Bathroom Beautification: Terri's master bath is getting a spruce-up, to ensure that the floor doesn't cave in.

25:11 Friday Speed Round: When Kids Want to Change Their Names: Terri's daughter found out the hard way that Facebook doesn't look too kindly on name changes made just for fun. (Wondering how Nicole's daughter likes her name? We're waiting on a text. Check back at 45:54.)

Round 2: Master of None, The West Wing, and Elizabethtown

7/25/2017

0 Comments

 

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

00:48 Master of None: "Door 3" brought us back to more conventional storytelling, and got us thinking about a totally different show ("My Grandmother's Ravioli," with Mo Rocca); we're looking forward to next week's Denise-centered episode.

5:40 The West Wing: Check! It was all about chess on "Hartsfield's Landing" (except when it was about the pranks, which Joshua Malina ranked on the West Wing Weekly podcast).

12:43 Challenge Round: Elizabethtown: Terri and Catherine agree that this Cameron Crowe movie, starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst, has been unfairly dissed by critics. Try it! (Mentioned: Chef and A Man Called Ove).

For next time, Catherine challenged Terri to watch the 2015 movie Spy (starring Melissa McCarthy and also featuring our pal Allison Janney). Plus, Master of None's "Thanksgiving" and The West Wing's "Dead Irish Writers."

08:23 Mom Guilt, Subtype 214A: We discuss guilt of the "it's not you, it's me" variety, as in "You should play the trombone because I didn't get to be in the band when I was a kid."

29:31 Friday Speed Round: Parenting Warning Labels: Inspired by the funny ladies of I Mom So Hard, we riff on the labels that should come with your firstborn.

36:00 Roundabout Roundup: Terri's singing about her Neutron shower speaker, Catherine points you to the cute puppy pics on Robert Rummel-Hudson's Instagram, and Nicole is pretty darn pleased with Stamps.com.

44:09 Shameless Self-Promotion: Create a Teacher Information Packet for Your Child with Special Needs, 10 Mistakes You Don't Want to Make in the Inclusive Class, Build Your Child's Word Bank.

If called on to lead, oh, all right, we'll do it — but we'd rather be the workhorse or the puppet-master.
