On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine recommends the Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show podcast [https://usaquizshow.com/], a spin-off of the TV podcast Extra Hot Great.

And Terri recommends Car and Truck Remotes for your legitimate and recreational car remote needs [https://www.carandtruckremotes.com/].

With gatherings and travel a no-go, we're brainstorming how else to observe Thanksgiving this year. Virtual Turkey Trot, anyone?

Today's rant is brought to you by Moxie [https://embodied.com/], a robot that promises to teach your child social-emotional skills, mindfulness, and creativity (for the low, low price of $1700). Just like the pet raccoons and tarantulas, we'll pass on having one of these nightmares in our home. Also mentioned: "Will All the Under-Socialized Babies Born in 2020 Be OK?" [https://www.todaysparent.com/baby/baby-development/will-all-the-under-socialized-babies-born-in-2020-be-ok/]

On Dancing With the Stars, Icons Night brought plenty of eyeliner and quite a few fun dances, along with a farewell to Backstreet Boy AJ McLean. Next: The semi-finals.

We're doubling up on dancing for a few weeks with the Netflix series Baby Ballroom, a look at the competitive world of British ballroom dancing. Come for the adorable moppets doing the cha-cha-cha; stay for the delightful British accents from one and all. Next: Season 1, episodes 3 and 4.

We often talk about our dogs, and Catherine's family briefly had custody of a hedgehog. But even though it might be legal to keep a kangaroo, a raccoon, or a tarantula as a pet, that's a "No" from us, dawg. Mentioned: The Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs, Australia, on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thekangaroosanctuary/].

​A funny story from Ellie Kemper about what calmed her baby on a plane got us thinking about unusual things that comforted our little ones.

We wade into the treacherous waters of kids and lying: What are the best ways to react, and to teach them about honesty? (Surprise: There are no easy answers.)

Hearing about Play-Doh's new line of Play-Doh for Grown-Ups (with scents like "Overpriced Latte" and "Lord of the Lawn") got us obsessing about other toys we loved and want to bring back. But we'll take our Play-Doh original flavor, please.
