👶 Buckle up—this week we're talking Yes, Dear!

One couple has parenting books. The other has... vibes.

This week, Rick and Nathan dive into the 2000 CBS sitcom Yes, Dear and ask the important questions:

• 🍼 Is organic baby food actually a punishment?
• 🎰 Is a casino really the best place for a baby's first steps?
• 📚 Can Greg survive one day without consulting a parenting manual?

• 
  

Along the way, we uncover behind-the-scenes trivia, revisit the pop culture of October 2000, and decide whether this forgotten sitcom still deserves a seat in the TV comedy conversation.

Fasten your seatbelts—it turns out parenting is easier when Jimmy's not involved.

🚨 The Nine-Nine says goodbye. One last heist. One last "NINE-NINE!"

This week we're seeing if Brooklyn Nine-Nine stuck the landing with The Last Day: Part 2.

✈️ Inside the lounge:

• One final Halloween Heist... because of course.
• Captain Holt and Jake deliver the emotional goodbye nobody was prepared for.
• Gina steals the show (and maybe some diamonds).
• Rosa, Terry, Boyle, Amy, Hitchcock & Scully all get their moment.
• We look back at Fox canceling the show, NBC saving it, and whether eight seasons was the perfect length.
