Daniel has some harsh words for Texas and he won't back down. He also has harsh words for Alison who can barely hack attending preschool for three hours in the sun with Owen. Has Alison become even more accustomed to inactivity? A caller moved from California to Texas and feels it's a big mistake. Another caller is moving to Canada. Alison thinks all moves are a little traumatic and Daniel disagrees which is so Daniel. Another caller claims to be Tony Thaxton but he sounds more like Greg Heller.

Emily Oster is an economics professor and author whose hugely popular books—Expecting Better, Cribsheet, and her latest, The Family Firm—help parents make better decisions by analyzing data. Expecting Better was recommended to me by friend of show Mary Katharine Ham when I was pregnant with Elliot and I've been a fan ever since. She's written numerous pieces during the pandemic about analyzing risk. Also, she holds a PhD from Harvard! We talked about what she loves about research, growing up the daughter of two Yale professors, the sausage roll disaster of 2020, whether she always wanted children, knowing she was done after two, her relationship with decisions, living in Rhode Island and why I should move there, hiking, being a morning person, what she was like in college, why you're probably wrong about economics (I was), her newsletter, her favorite class in school and so much more.

Things take a spicy turn when David Huntsberger gets upset over Alison forgetting which way Nevada is pronounced. Wendy Molyneux is here and despite people constantly mispronouncing her last name, she's yet to "pull a Dave." Also, she has cellophane legs. I've been giggling over farts in general, which is a sign of my continued evolution and self-actualization in that I am truly taking pleasure in the small things. We listen to some gassy animals and try to determine who dealt it. Plus Just Me Or Everyone, Slim Slimmon's Adorable Hour, Wendy's singing finger and more.

Does Dave Dameshek get paid to agree with Daniel instead of Alison? You would be forgiven for thinking so after this episode. Also, his wife won't add to his pint glass collection and he has questions. Meanwhile Alison and Daniel got in a fight over a flyswatter and more. Also, Alison made an egregious error in a meeting earlier and is embarrassed. Betsy Sodaro is here and she's not a fruit head.

Writer, mother and host of Wife of the Party, LeeAnn Kreischer has always struck me as very wise and self-actualized. Turns out she really is!
