00:32 Incoming Australians! Nicole has visitors; later in the episode, we'll discuss how they can earn their keep.

Round 2: Master of None, The West Wing, and 30 Rock

8/15/2017

0 Comments

 

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

00:43 Master of None: We say "buona notte" to this season, having liked it quite a bit (Catherine) and with some reservations (Terri).

11:37 The West Wing: In contrast with Dev's misery on MoN, "Stirred" was a decidely peppy episode of The West Wing. Plus, our beloved Parks & Recreation got a mention on The West Wing Weekly podcast.

19:05 Challenge Round: 30 Rock: Catherine challenged Terri to watch two episodes of 30 Rock, since it was a rival show to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (last week's challenge). This show brings the silliness, for sure, and Terri's willing to revisit it in the future when she needs a laugh.

For next week, Terri challenged Catherine to try out the, um, unusual John from Cincinnati (the first three episodes of this 10-episode show). Plus: West Wing's special documentary episode, and a fun interview for all you Dancing with the Stars fans.

It's not just us, right? Wearing shirts so worn through that it looks like they've been in a knife fight is some kind of guy thing?

Episode 181: Our Lives Are Like a Bad TV Show

8/11/2017

0 Comments

 

00:31 Back to School: Nicole's daughter headed back to school, which somehow led us to reminisce about Gym Classes of Our Past.

07:35 All the Drama, None of the Fame and Fortune: Terri sometimes feels her life is a bad detective show. Catherine is stuck in a not-that-funny sitcom, and Nicole's family drama is exhaustingly dramatic. What TV show is your family inadvertently starring in?

19:31 Friday Speed Round: Summer Reading: This question about what our kids are reading this summer was mostly a confession of what they're not reading.

29:37 Roundabout Roundup: Terri shouted out Chase Bank's anti-fraud efforts, Catherine is stuck on these achievement stickers for freelancers, and Nicole swooned over Rolling Stone's Canadian cover boy.

36:08 Shameless Self-Promotion: Quick Fixes for Bee Stings, Bug Bites, Sunburns, and Other Summer Woes; 7 Signs Your Child Is in an Inclusive Class; podcast quote graphics on Facebook.
