In this week’s episode, we reflect on the “new normal” as things start to open up and we adjust to maskless shopping and hard pants. This is our first time recording together since the beginning of the quarantimes, and we get to use our fancy new mic. We’re still figuring out our microphone, and we may sound more like we were recording from a busy roadside than we did when we were on zoom. But we think our laughter sounds better than ever, and we promise to figure the noise out. Becca’s dog Freeman is the star of the show, but we also talk about library squirrels and the experts who can tell whether rodents are boys or girls. And Jenny pitches her solution to getting folks vaccinated so we can embrace even more of a hard pants, hard partying mom lifestyle: it’s the Vaccininja Van.
