Alex and Shane chat about TikTok superstardom, trying to make a viral video, productivity, tidy-up habits, and how to beat the mid-winter blues.

 

Ana Klizs discusses "killing" supermom, her blog's origins (Bluebirdkisses) and how she transitioned her career as a mother of three, keeping her sanity (and her kids busy) during quarantine, her upbringing in communist Romania, and dealing with criticism. 

 

Elizabeth Davies, sommelier and founder of E.D. Wine Company, leads a tasting of Manoir de la Tete Rouge Bagatelle 2018 (Cab Franc). She discusses how to do a proper wine tasting, explains common wine terminology (so you can impress your friends with actual knowledge), and helps Alex and Shane understand exactly what they're tasting when they open up a bottle. 

 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like how working from home has changed our relationship, tips for queasy dads in the delivery room, staying positive, and screen time.
