There are some people in this world who should have never had children.

News reports speculate that COVID may lead to a baby-bust of 500k fewer births in the US -- and that's a bad thing, why? Jared and Teresa are suspicious that this is a dire situation. Plus, Japan, low birth rates, and face masks -- they've been doing it right for awhile. And what about parents getting preferential treatment at work during COVID? Is that creating an unfair balance in the remote workplace?
Jared and Teresa discuss "the baby plot device" -- where TV shows with lazy writing shoehorn pregnancies and kids into storylines that serve no other purpose than to.. what, exactly? Spoilers for Big Bang Theory and Westworld! Also, their new, still-to-be-named feature shares a story from a listener who wanted to share his hilarious experience after listening to Episode 2!
In Teresa's solo episode, she discusses the dangers of pyramid schemes and how they entrap people (mostly stay-at-home moms) and shares some MLM history, stories, warning signs, and tips to avoid getting sucked into MLMs.
Jared and Teresa showcase five accomplished historic people who just so happened to be childfree: Francis Bacon, Hattie McDaniel, Ludwig van Beethoven, Dian Fossey, and Roger Casement. Plus -- probably their most favorite top 5 countdown yet.
We discuss the appropriateness of kids in bars, plus plane horror stories and dramatic readings of 1-star reviews of a restaurant that instituted a kid ban. We also introduce our weekly feature, Cat of the Week!
