This week's follow up includes the end of a series, a peanut butter, a robot vacuum endorsement, tinder for moms, and the shit sandwich that is the Roku Corporation.

Since last time, we've improved our home, had some play dates, and bought less stuff than you (but still check out altrarunning.com if you need new running shoes). We talk about the peloton "controversy" (check it out on youtube) in far greater depth than originally intended, and quickly dive into the Spotify year in review.

Our searches really make up the parenting part of this podcast and reveal that our child is a marvel of modern times.

Finally, the protein and starch is all about something we are not qualified to discuss.

This week, we recorded on a Sunday and everything was wonky. Jessica quit DDG, Michael is still concerned about privacy, and we give an update on peg leg Pete and the crew.

We talk about what's been going on and Jessica reveals how she's become an expert at saving money by being patient.

We searched for some things about babies and technology and are more than happy to share the details with you.

Finally, for protein and starch, we talk about podcasts and stranger danger. Michael repeatedly says recant when he means recount and it's inexcusable. No spoilers, but remember that things aren't always as they seem.

We are so sorry about the drunkness.

This week is a special odds and sods episode with no protein or starch! We chat about what's going on including sickness and running (health), and our first play date.
