“A watch that’s as easy as pi”

SUMMARY

Today, the ladies are in the studio to review the math kid's show Team Umizoomi: an educational program geared toward a younger audience that teaches counting, shapes, patterns, and measurements. It's widely available on streaming apps, including Paramount Plus, Amazon, and the Roku channel.

OUR THOUGHTS

Kara hasn't been this unfocused since Puffin Rock, but she can appreciate that there's an audience for a math kid's show like this one. She also couldn't help but compare it to the faster-paced Number Blocks. What did get her attention is that, her fave, Donovan Patton of Blue's Clues fame, is one of the leading voice actors!

Laura appreciates the amount of applied math in this one as well as the show's focus on teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance. She also peppers this podcast with math dad jokes (or mom jokes…can we make that a thing?) If you're looking for a real treat, you can find Laura singing the ever-so- catchy Umizoomi theme song a Capella at 20:25.

POTENTIAL ISSUES

None.

SHOULD THEY WATCH IT?

Kara: Eh, it's fine. This one is for the kids.

Laura: FER SURE

SIDE CONVERSATIONS

Today, the conversation turns to an article about unconventional celebrity parenting. Examples include Alicia Silverstone potty training her son at six months old using the concept of elimination communication. She also baby bird fed her son at one point! Additionally, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher limit Christmas gifts to their children. Listen for more examples! We’d love to know if you think they’re making a case for these approaches to parenting or not.

Kara's reptile-obsessed son found a rough earthsnake in a pile of leaves. Unfortunately, and he and Kara aren’t on the same page about where this snake should live. Kara knows she’s going to have to break her son’s heart very soon.
