In a follow-up to our episode on whether we're morning people (spoiler: Nope), we discuss the best, and worst, times of day we experience as parents.

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, Zoey's "extraordinary" employee turns out to be unextraordinarily fired. And because two love interests for Zoey were not enough, we now have a third on the scene. Next: "Zoey's Extraordinary Trip."

On Veronica Mars, we continue to recommend that everyone take a trip far, far away from Neptune and Hearst College. If the season-long mystery is "Who is the rapist?", we're not sure we can handle it. Next: "President Evil."

Nicole's results from AncestryDNA were a little unexpected, and gave her some new bragging rights in her family. Catherine's, from another purveyor, were too vague to be of interest. And Terri's staying far, far away; she's not even interested in her past or future dogs' DNA results, let alone her own.

It's not just us, right? Wearing shirts so worn through that it looks like they've been in a knife fight is some kind of guy thing?

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This one harks back to a time when children went to school somewhere other than their own homes, and lockdowns lasted for minutes or hours--not months.
​
What happens at school when there's a real lockdown or a fake earthquake? Nothing good—but we don't have any better ideas, either.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Following up on yesterday's episode on pandemic clothing, Nicole recommends a pair of comfy pants from Target [https://www.target.com/p/women-s-stretch-woven-cargo-pants-all-in-motion/-/A-79599718], and Terri has a new sweatshirt from The Shop Forward [https://www.theshopforward.com/collections/all/products/4-things-im-fine-pullover-black]. Catherine finally watched Pixar's latest, Soul, on Disney+ and gives it two thumbs up [https://movies.disney.com/soul].

From door pants [https://www.instagram.com/p/CKVr_U8B5qu/] to Zoom shirts [https://www.today.com/style/what-are-zoom-shirts-why-are-they-so-popular-t185763] to pajamas that go from bed to desk to treadmill and back again: How are you dressing during the pandemic, and do you think you'll change once things go back to "normal"?

Not every product needs to come with an extra, like a chart to keep track of your face masks [https://www.parenting.com/child/gear/crayola-kids-face-masks/], or be called a "system." Slow your roll and just let us live, please. Mentioned: Queen Mathilde of Belgium and her coordinating masks [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8527209/Queen-Mathilde-King-Philippe-Belgium-coordinate-masks-outfits.html].

It's boyfriend troubles for both our heroines this week. Zoey's dreams are really nightmares, and poor Max can't seem to do anything to help her. Next week: "Zoey's Extraordinary Employee."

On Veronica Mars, Logan and Veronica are dancing around their significant trust, jealousy, and trauma issues. Sounds like a recipe for romance! Next: "Charlie Don't Surf."

An article on peer support for mental health [https://www.verywellfamily.com/peer-support-programs-for-mental-health-5096446] got us talking. Is this wise, or even practical? We're all for more mental health help, but all we see here are downsides.
