On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2: We're very displeased that World of Dance ended its first round of semi-finals by making children cry. We've been telling them for weeks not to! Next: We'll discuss the second set of semi-finals (airing today, August 11) and the finals, airing August 12.
Veronica Mars also included some suffering children (well, 18-year-olds) as both Logan and Veronica were imperiled in "Ahoy, Mateys!" and Duncan had some disturbing dreams. We would not like to revisit any of those things. Next: "My Mother, the Fiend."

After seeing a few posts recommending college students pack a "bug-out bag" in case of Covid-19 isolation, we talked about what we'd need to pack up if we had to seclude ourselves. Podcast mic is on the list!
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Statistics say 10 percent of the population is left-handed, but for our podcast, it's more like 33.3 percent. Guess which one of us is the leftie.
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.
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." Want more? Listen to the rest of this July 2017 episode.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine shouts out Pier 1's going-out-of-business sales as a good resource for dorm and new-apartment shopping. Nicole's Instagram Minute returns with Cameo, the celeb-connection service. And Terri throws it back to the '70s with her purchase of Alberto VO5 shampoo.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
With many kids set to do some kind of distance learning in the fall, we obsess about how to keep them motivated and engaged. Starbucks gift cards only go so far.
We lament and complain about how moms are always stuck in the middle, mediating between two other family members who clash. Can anyone tell us how to fix this (since running away from home isn't an option right now)?
What We’re Watching: World of Dance Duels 4 and Veronica Mars “Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner”8/4/2020
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, World of Dance wrapped up the junior division duels with another talented rubber band, a semi-professional (?) hip-hop duo, and a troupe with a teen who's getting taller before our eyes. On to the semi-finals!
On Veronica Mars, we always knew that Neptune was a hotbed of terrible parenting, but this episode (cringingly titled "Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner") was really devoted to extremely awful moms and dads. Next: "Ahoy, Mateys!"
It's important to celebrate tiny victories when they happen, so here are our tales of upcycling, repairing, and cleaning success to inspire you. We owe it all (well, most of it) to YouTube. Mentioned: Cleaning expert Vanesa Amaro on TikTok (she's also on Instagram); Terri's jeans from Schaefer Outfitter.
