Doree's new podcast is here! In this first episode, Doree and Jo discuss the 2007 story of two A-list celebrities who went head-to-head in a heated auction for a rare Tyrannasaurus skull. And only one would emerge the winner.

Because at the end of the day nothing conveys wealth and power like a T-Rex in your atrium.

Matt's got the Sunday scaries, Henry's got a new kiddie pool, and Doree's just happy that her new external monitor works. A listener asks us for advice about whether she should start IVF during Covid times, and we reassure another listener that she can still bond with her newborn niece when this is all over. And, a bee update.

Mon, 11 May 2020 03:49:32 GMT

And yet more Homestar Runner fans reveal themselves!

Ep 256: Talking Turkey

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 06:10:03 GMT

Matt saved Thanksgiving, but now we're worried that everyone might be getting sick — so Doree made us take a last-minute trip to the pediatric urgent care. A bunch of listeners weighed in on the eclampsia email from last week, and we also sent out the New Job, Newly Pregnant signal and the Cat and Baby signal. Plus, Matt has now been sufficiently chastised about his turkey recipe and he will never have to scramble to find it again.

Ep 247: Keep the Routine

Mon, 30 Sep 2019 05:39:39 GMT

We report back on the rest of our trip to Boston with Henry, and our big takeaway is: keep a baby's routine as similar to home as possible, and don't get a bathtub that's too small for your baby. Also bring a baby carrier on the plane. We also get responses to the one-testicle-after-chemo and the RIE signals, and hear advice from listeners about workaholic partners.

Ep 246: Have Baby, Will Travel

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 02:22:41 GMT

We're in Boston with Henry, who was a champion flyer on the way here so we're bracing ourselves for a hellish flight back. After a BBQ, Doree gets wistful about having old friends you can just hang out with on the weekends with no pressure. We also get updates from a couple of listeners with very early pregnancies, the "working with one ball that has been through chemo after testicular cancer” signal goes out, and after a listener asks about RIE, we get probably way too smug about some of our parenting choices. But hey, what's parenting without SOMEONE being smug? Today, it happens to be us.

Plus, we hear more ideas about how to help the woman with premature twins, and give advice to a woman who's trying to get pregnant but is friends with a lot of social drinkers,

Matt wants to meet up with Eggheads in London but he doesn't know where to do it. If you have suggestions, email us! doreeandmatt@gmail.com or mattanddoree@gmail.com.
