Mike got a new phone, and Vonia's children have begun summer activities. Then it's a new comedy series, a movie musical, an update on passports for kids, restaurants in NYC, more movie musical talk, feelings on Golden Globes, and a fairly disgusting story from Mike. Also, Grease 2!

Vonia has house guests, Mike has an update on his Mom, and they both have fun plans in the future! Then it's Zach Galafianikis, laughter, Samantha Bee, Rita Moreno, memories of vacations past, and Broadway tickets already purchased. Hey. Remember sponge painting?!

Mike and Vonia share all the fun they had during his recent trip to L.A. Then it's a new book from Oprah, West Coast Mexican food, Emmas both Stone and Thompson, the need to be informed about how indigenous people have been treated both in this country and others, dumb commercials, phone problems, and past trips to California. Also, cats and ducks!

Vonia and Mike start off by talking about one of their favorite performers of stage and screen, before Vonia tells a crazy story about a painter she almost hired, and Mike talks about a recent visit from a friend. Then it's pottery, a new documentary, ongoing issues with masks, lack of sleep, a whole lot of talk about The Nevers, and a story about a gift exchange that just further confirmed this friendship. 

Vonia celebrated Mother's Day, and Mike forgot to celebrate a New York milestone. Then it's a very special talk show moment, a one man show, a play from a few years ago, a series happening right now, a sudden illness, barely controlled annoyance, and both Mike and Vonia sing songs they wrote as children! Very special indeed. 

Vonia got to see some friends, and Mike is dealing with the term "tired." Then there's art, a new limited series, children's shenanigans, a visit to a store where nothing was purchased, a few more notes on this years Oscars, and a new thing that's keeping Vonia feeling good. Roll on!  

It's Mike and Vonia's (somewhat) super-sized episode all about this years Oscar ceremony. From the lack of an opening number, film clips, and musical performances, to wacky commercials, great speeches, and that odd choice of presentation order, they have every moment covered, and lots of opinions. 

Vonia has a two part story about camping, and Mike saw all the Academy Award nominated short films. Plus, both hope and anxiety over the world reopening, three very different films that Mike loved this week, RuPaul's Drag Race and Master Class, feelings on "bitchiness," and a contribution to our collective lexicon. Also, caring is cool. 

Mike keeps taking it dark and Vonia keeps saving the day. From discussion of family we don't really know to kids getting their ears pierced, police shootings to a tattoo reality show, from Promising Young Woman getting yet anther shoutout to the many TV programs Mike and Vonia watched in their younger years, this one is all over the place yet still finds time to cover a possible future ER themed podcast, and some helpful tips if you've recently been pierced. Also, Godzilla!  

The terrible, but perhaps inevitable, happened to Mike at work, but he lives to tell the tale. Then it's a trip to the zoo, Daniel Kaluuya hosting SNL, a further discussion on the current state of restaurants in NYC, worries about raising children, and some talk about the recent SAG Awards. Look both ways. Maybe a few times.
