Pairs With Life

Homeschooling: the whole proposition has filled both parents and kids with anxiety and dread.

We're back! After a too-long hiatus - complicated by the nasty viral situation - JT and Christine return to the Pod and pick up where they left off. Again. With the possible exception of this nasty virus situation. Through the miracle of modern technology, we're able to stay quarantined but "socialize" anyway, which only means that we each have to drink our own wine. While Christine enjoys a nice 2017 Rock Wall Fiano and JT hits a bottle of the 2016 Bodega San Valero "Celebrities" Old Vine Granacha, we talk about all the cool and not-so-cool things going on in life...not the least of which is how this quarantine is affecting people's relationships.

According to a recent study, 70% of all couples exchange passwords to their mobile devices and online accounts. Is this the ultimate act of trust or the ultimate act of control? When and how does our need to maintain a little privacy become a dysfunctional act of secrecy...and is there a problem with having a few secrets anyway? We pop open a bottle of Lynch Wines 2017 Syrah and try to get to the bottom of this question, along with other questions like: why is Christine hiding her peanut butter cups from JT? And why will JT perform sex acts to get a review?

Awwwyeah, look at that Trader Joe's wine aisle, with its enticing promises of $3 to $10 wines beckoning you like a degenerate wine addict. But how can you be certain you're going to pick your next favorite wine and not something you can use to peel off wallpaper? Well, that's why you listen to the podcast, bitches. We took a trip to TJ's, picked out four wines under $20 that we hoped would be winners, and tested them out just for you. But are they the bomb, or will we strike out entirely and be forced to drink the dump bucket?
