We discuss the best and worst of road trips with special guest Elizabeth, touching on license plate bingo, where to stop (and where to avoid), and the type of back pain unique to hotel pullout beds. Big thanks to Elizabeth for calling in this week!

We discuss and rate the staples of a 2000s childhood, from book series that never seemed to end and an inexplicable obsession with slime to classic TV shows and even better commercials.

We discuss and rate various trends from throughout quarantine, from whipped coffee making to recreating your house out of popsicle sticks. Plus, learn about the hazards of puppetry, Naomi's beef with ukuleles and the woes of being a historically accurate doll.

We return to Naomi's daily quote book she kept in Belgium when she was 13 and talk about the pressure of final exams, why the Bible is not a cookbook, when to wait for the next bus and other reflections from living across the pond. 

We talk winter holidays and traditions as well as mystery gifts, horrible Christmas music, how New Years in the Netherlands resembles the Purge, the joy of fried food and more!

In the second installment of a two-part special featuring our mom, we learn about fashion trends of the 1980s (from the ridiculous to the unsafe), questionable cheers, the fun of seances and everyone's favorite 80s moment: the fall of the Berlin wall.
