  • This week, we're revisiting an old favorite from 2015 – Episode 93: What DO You Do All Day?

    We call bullshit on the “to do list” when none of the ten thousand things we do as a parent everyday counts as a thing we can cross off. Plus, Biz comes to the realization that any problems her kids have may not actually be her fault, Theresa plays mind games with her kid, a listener fails when she realizes the “cock” her son wants to know about isn’t a rooster, and we talk to Sally Hepworth about her debut novel, The Secrets of Midwives.

    ***

    While sorting through the detritus of her past, Biz came upon a book. An ancient book from the distant year of 1983, filled with antiquated beauty standards, extremely creepy behavior that was once considered charming, and Star Wars.

    The book: Boys! Boys! Boys! by Jan Gelman. Book #2 in the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style series Follow Your Heart Romance.

    Biz does the unthinkable and passes this unholy tome to her own freshly minted teen, Katy Belle. Will Katy Belle choose John, the football star? Tommy, the childhood friend? Or will Katy Belle decide all these of these guys are gross and live their own life?
