272 | Our TV Binges

In this episode, Heather and Dr. Carol Lynn catch up after a brief hiatus to discuss what they’ve been watching during their downtime. From the high-society drama of The Madison to the cigarette-smoke-filled rooms of 1960s Mad Men, the BFFs dive deep into the nostalgia of the past and the "glitz and glam" they're craving today. They also swap "boy mom" stories about the unique challenges of middle school hygiene and share a few book-to-movie recommendations.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

  • Current TV Obsessions: * The Madison: Heather and Carol Lynn discuss the beautiful setting and the "ageless" Michelle Pfeiffer.

    • A Man on the Inside: Dr. Carol Lynn’s recommendation featuring Ted Danson as a spy in a retirement community.

  • The Nostalgia Factor: Why watching shows set in the 60s and 70s feels like a trip back to childhood, and Heather’s attempt to introduce her kids to classics like Gilligan's Island and I Dream of Jeannie (with hilarious results).

  • Life with Teenage Boys: The "Do Not Care Club" of middle school hygiene. From the struggle to get them to bathe to the overpowering scent of AXE body spray, the struggle is real!

  • Book Talk: Heather shares her love for The Housemaid series by Freida McFadden and compares the reading experience to the film adaptation.
