We are celebrating some life milestones in this one! Steph is preparing to meet the Archa-parents for lunch and Danielle is having a baby (they really just let anyone have those these days). We also recap our Mom ep followed by an extended share of our latest fave shows, podcasts, and books ... all rounded out by a lighthearted discussion of the entire opioid crisis. Danielle also loves on TV commercials and we both lament the recent hike in Netflix (correction: Hulu) pricing.

Our entries cover an entire week in the life of 2003 Steph (which includes a school dance, going to see School of Rock, and calling people on their parent’s landlines) and she shares the cringiest thing she’s ever done. Danielle curses the dramatic return of her dad’s inner climate-control freak in 2006 and a Spill Canvas concert (still the opener, even 17 years later).
