Meg and Casey are taking the girls camping this weekend so the episode is out early this week. On today’s show Meg shares how baffled she is by Starbucks giving out straws again. What? Now it’s totally fine to forgo the turtles and plastic straw elimination movement...after a year of so many Baristas giving us “judgy” looks when we ask for one? As a former Barista, Casey weighs in. Meg shares the importance of checking in with our kiddos, especially with so much pandemic-talk. Casey explains his interpretation of the “getting shit done” outfit women wear on busy days - Meg explains it’s called “athleisure-wear.” Casey also decides it’s time for him to start his own forensic investigating unit to get to the bottom of some suspicious children activities occurring at home.
