This new reality may be driving us crazy, but lockdown accommodations have gone too far when kids can get driver's licenses without passing a real, in-person road-test. Not even virtual reality can solve every pandemic problem! Mentioned: The movie Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day; an episode of The Amazing Race from last season; Google Arts and Culture virtual museum tours.

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Today’s a mini-rant day for just complaining about the constant calls we get from telemarketers and scammers. Leave us alone! Do we have to just stop answering the phone? How annoyed are you by junk calls these days?
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This one reminds us, in this time when everyone's missing school, that it used to be something to complain about.
When we read a Popsugar post about a mom's Facebook Live rant on her son's school's disgusting bathrooms, we knew we could come up with some good stuff to complain about too. You know us—we love a good rant! Want more? Listen to the rest of this March 2017 episode.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine shouts out Pepper, the American Hedgehog Warrior, and her merch.
Nicole's Instagram Minute offers @itsdougthepug, another cute critter who will brighten your day. And Terri's finally making her way through the excellent TV (The Book) by Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz. Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
As with every other event in American life, the Covid-19 pandemic comes with merchandise, and lots of it. Do you have any? Do you want any? Would you buy some from us? Mentioned: The Shop Forward, Jenny Lawson's raccoon face mask, and social-distancing hats in a Chinese classroom.
The pandemic has given us extra time to look around our homes and realize how much stuff we're holding on to that we don't need. What have you got that would make a good giveaway?
Now that Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist has wrapped up for the season, we're doubling up on Veronica Mars. This week's episodes featured good detecting, but poor judgement, on Veronica's part—along with the arrival of Alyson Hannigan as Logan's sister, Trina. Mentioned: Shaggy-haired teachers on My So-Called Life and Once and Again.
In honor of Mother's Day, we decided to check in on some of favorite TV and movie moms and see how they might handle being locked down during a pandemic (like, how does Marge Simpson maintain that beehive without salon visits?).
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Catherine’s “grocery fair” typo already gave us inspiration for a discussion of fantasy school fundraisers, and now we extend that to any sort of store we wish existed. “Try before you buy” seems to be a common theme of our retail dreams. What sort of shop do you wish you could find?
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This one is particularly timely in our current era of uncertainty.
Terri had a major meltdown about a potential delegation fail, which got us wondering (and whining) about why it's so hard to hand off responsibilities to other members of our households. Want more? Listen to the rest of this March 2017 episode. |
