Moltz fell down a rathole by watching the Space: 1999 intro credits. Then he watched the Six Million Dollar Man intro credits and so on and so on. Watching Julie Louise-Dreyfus crack up repeatedly is pretty fun. Get the real scoop on the 8-year-old who drove himself and his sister to McDonald's here. One of Hank's hobbies is installing old operating systems on Virtual Box. Jon suggests he try Vagrant. Our thanks to Blue Apron for sponsoring this episode. Blue Apron ships you ingredients and

2017/03/31

We reflect on The Revenge of the Nerds. The new interpretation of It looks appropriately scary. The Moltzes don't own the Is It Tea You're Looking For teapot. Yet. John C. Reilly makes some weird videos. The Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! was pretty weird, too. Alec Baldwin taught a kid how to do his Trump impersonation.

Turning This Car Around ·

2017/03/17

Lex recommends a podcast called Brains On. And we all like Hello From The Magic Tavern if it’s not always kid-friendly. And, since this a podcast about pet ownership, we talk about whether or not dogs have emotions. Is a dog's mouth cleaner than a human's? Is Moltz's mouth cleaner than an original iPad box? Lex wrote about his wait for the UPS deliverer way back when. Our thanks to Movement Watches, makers of beautifully designed watches that won't break your budget. Go to

153: Kids R Weird

2017/03/01

We talk about a bunch of parenting stuff before we get to entertainment, I swear. Moltz love The Great Escape but there are a few goofs in the movie (he's gonna have to go back and check the one he mentioned because it doesn't seem to be listed on IMDB). Lex can'd even start watching Back to the Future III without anticipating the creepy crotch kid. Turns out Lex actually watches television shows. One that he's enjoyed 15 minutes of is one Moltz suggested: Travelers. Lex had a suggestion

Pizza Port and The Belly Up Tavern are two of Lex's favorite San Diego places. Jon brings up mercury levels in fish which are a concern for kids and everyone, really. If you're looking for a chart, check out the FDA guidelines. No one was more surprised to read this information than the bigeye tuna. Our thanks to Blue Apron for sponsoring

Moltz and Jon went to Women's Marches last Saturday. Jon has some pictures from DC. Lex is certifiably, 100% apolitical but his children are dangerous subversives who inexplicably hate Dear Leader.

Lex took his kids to see Sing. Liam is learning to play Nintendo Land (which Lex mistakenly calls "Nintendo Party" in the episode). Liam gave Lex this plate which is awesome and he loves and is not copyright-violating. Moltz made Cioppino for Christmas day dinner and it was really good.

John Wick is a violent but fun movie and definitely not for the kids. Super Mario Run is out! The name of Neven Mrgan's upcoming game that Moltz couldn't remember in the show is Stagehand. Moltz and son still like the new Plants vs Zombies card game. Lex's daughter still refers to Moltz's Minecraft book as well as some other, lesser Minecraft books. Bitmoji is a god damn horror show if you ask me. Please refer to the list of films that most frequently use the word "fuck". Our thanks also to
