As a 7 year Minnesota transplant, Walz being the VP pick is so energizing and I’m glad he’s going over so well! It’s the positive masculinity we love to see

Claire - if your toddler is into the Spidey vibes of gymnastics, you have to show him speed climbing. My toddler is obsessed! Two people go side-by-side and he loves picking which one will be fastest.

Swan Song and Funny Story were my two favorite summer reads! :)

I have seen very little of the Bachelor, but I really enjoy your podcast, I think the banger that is your intro music definitely helps.

1) I Kissed A Girl is amazing and messy and delightful, if you are looking for something else to cover. And not nearly as long as Love Island or The Bachelor franchise.

2) https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/article/2024/aug/08/this-is-also-about-love-the-ukrainian-disability-campaigner-on-the-brink-of-reality-tv-stardom

3) When the music comes on for your bit about things you liked and didn't liked...do you ever find yourself singing Knocking on Heaven's door against it, because I think it fits and that's what happens in my brain.

Always a better day when one of your podcasts is up and I can spend an hour or two listening to some solid takes.

Not that I need an excuse but always a good reminder to get some Elin in before summers end. Claire, our sons are close in age, and I had a very similar wondering of if we were ready for Olympics and similar experience of his middling interest. He kept asking if it had started 😂🫠

Thank you for all the Tim Walz direction. I’ve been wanting something to sink my teeth into.

The men's 1500m rivalry was giving Sam M. and Devin 😂 🤪. What a race!

IT REALLY WAS! So freaking thrilling to watch Cole just pull ahead. Incredible.

Emma I LOVED swan song! I forgot about Hilderbrand (had read one of her summer novels years ago) and am now going down a rabbit hole reading each of her delicious Nantucket novels. Also can’t wait to hear the review on the Amazon set

Okay and one more thing: make pickles with any cucumbers you have leftover! Refrigerator dills are so easy and I make a huge batch every summer that I eat for six months
