NOTE:  We know the audio on this episode is atrocious.  Jane thought she was getting fancy with a few changes she made to our recording settings and only succeeded in making us sound like rookies again. 

Lori and Jane have tried and failed at many hobbies over the years.  This week they talk about the ones they flat out abandoned.

Everybody's got them - those things that drive you crazy until you feel like you are going to lose it.  This week Lori & Jane dig into a few of their top pet peeves (with some repeats from our "Sounds We Hate" episode).

It's hard to believe that a year and two days ago we published our promo episode, followed by our first three episodes a few days later.  And we're still here!  THANK YOU to all our listeners who have stuck with our little podcast over the past 52 weeks.  Cheers!

Who DOESN'T love Tom Hanks?!  This week Lori & Jane talk about some of their favorite movies featuring America's Sweetheart.  Listen to find out if we name YOUR favorite Hanksian feature film!

This week Lori & Jane compare their favorite episodes of the US version of "The Office."  So many good ones to choose from - how will they ever narrow down the list to just five?

Note: We know that Mose is Dwight's cousin, not his brother.  We also know that it was Dwight that was moaning the night Jim & Pam spent the night at the Schrute B&B, not Mose.  It was when Dwight was mourning the loss of his relationship with Angela.  And lastly, we know that Robert California was harassing Andy Bernard to hire his wife, not Michael. Lori sometimes mixes up the characters in her mind.

Lori & Jane have perfected a few ways to waste some time.

This week Lori & Jane compare lists of jobs they could never do.  This episodes shows just how different they are from each other.

Some factoids:

• Road Kill Collector - this position is usually filled by the state or the DOT.
• Crime Scene Cleaner - also known as "biohazard remediation" because it does not deal only with crime scenes, but all biohazard cleaning (including hoarder houses).  Pay range is $35K - $80K.
• The average salary for a professional clown is $36K. 

This week Lori & Jane talk about the movies from their childhood that left a deep impression on them. 

Lori mostly reminisces about Disney movies, while Jane mostly reminisces about...movies that she probably shouldn't have been watching before the age of 10.

Correction: In the episode Jane mentions an actor named 'Ike Eisenberg.'  His name was actually Ike Eisenmann and he starred in 1975's "Escape to Witch Mountain."

Lori and Jane feel it is important to help others, and decided to dedicate an episode all about their favorite charities and organizations to which they dedicate their time, energy and money.

Lori's charities:
Feed America
Girl Scouts / Girls on the Run
Salvation Army
Susan G. Komen Foundation

Jane's charities:
charity : water
Equal Justice Initiative
Ronald McDonald House
Samaritan's Feet
World Vision / Compassion International

Jane also recommends you check out Welcome to the Table, a podcast dedicated to highlighting those in the fight against food deserts in their communities!

Everyone is baking while being stuck at home, so Lori & Jane decided to take a week to discuss some of their favorite desserts.
