Did you know that Bluey's new season is on Disney+ starting on August 10? CK is pretty excited about that... and if you aren't too, well... she'll sort YOU out, Mate.

This week's episode sees CK playing the height game with GK, what you need to know about the Little League World Series, and a throwback to an early laugh about Major Dad. We also finally get to part 3 of "get thyself a job" and answer those common interview questions that are guaranteed to show up in some form or fashion during every interview you've ever had.

Okay Universe: you win. Caitlin can't have nice things because -- well, it's a long story. Blah blah blah -- now her kitchen and living room smell like coffee. Jenny gets confused during small talk with math people and Caitlin gives you the need-to-know info about soccer rules.

Caitlin is WAY too excited about Women's Euro 2022 and CONCACAF, so today's episode is all about soccer vocab! You'll never wonder about the difference between a corner kick and a goal kick ever again.

Of course, the Ks also talk about the ridiculousness that is their lives: this time around, it's ADHD + Prime Day mess, and some Boomer opinions on the Gen X experience.

TW: This episode discusses personal experiences with COVID-19 and with losing a loved one.

In this episode, Caitlin and Jenny bring in their mortician-friend Jennifer to talk about the logistics of losing a loved one. When you are responsible for a person's final arrangements, it can be hard to know where to start. Jennifer shares her story about why she chose her profession and why, if you're not sure how to begin the process of saying goodbye to a loved one, your local funeral home is a special resource.

Don't worry, we keep it light with our usual banter and fun, too. Jenny reminds us why tennis isn't necessarily her area of expertise and Caitlin gets pumped about Women's UEFA Soccer!

YOU NEED AN ORANGE TRACKSUIT WITH POLKA DOTS.

Okay, maybe you don't. But you DO need to hear our "PRIDE, part 2" discussion between Caitlin and Ariella. This one focused on sexual orientation and related labels, and we touched on gender-affirming care and the Equality Act. Of course, you get your circle time, complete with Jenny's son ensuring she doesn't break a gas station and Caitlin's obsession with magnets. (Just listen, you'll get it.)

During the month of June and every other month, CK and GK stand in support of the LGBTQIA+ community. Let us know if you need a mom-hug. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Wrestling is a form of sports (and medical?) entertainment. Phil Rosenthal is a fantastic human. And, our dear friend Ariella stops by to clarify some gender-affirming vocabulary words you need to know during PRIDE month.

Happy PRIDE! Extending our love and support to the LGBTQIA+ this month and every month before and after. We appreciate that it's important to be an ally all year!

We FINALLY get back to our series on the job hunt with Part 2: Resumes. Caitlin breaks down the basics of resume building so that you can get to work (literally). We both share some beauty info (Caitlin -- what NOT to do with your hair... Jenny -- investing in glowing skin) and you hear a doozy about a wet recliner (ew).

While there is no making sense of the tragic events in Uvalde, Texas, there are ways to manage and cope with the information. In this episode, Caitlin and Jenny provide a few resources for how you can take action to prevent future tragedy and how you can talk to your children and manage your feelings and emotions around this event.

We tried to cheer ourselves up with some much-needed time catching up and laughing about the ridiculousness we've experienced during the past few weeks. Guess who dressed up as a cockroach recently?
