The Conversation

  • DON’T FIGHT HIM ON THIS: Sergio, his mom and the recipes of Pampanga, the culinary capital of the Philippines.
  • Megan struggles with translating her personal worth into a dollar amount!
  • Serita’s dog gets sent to reform school!
  • Wait?!? Sergio has never seen “Die Hard” or “The Sixth Sense” – or any other Bruce Willis movie! What?!?
  • ACCORDING TO THE BABIES: Moonlighting feels like Bruce’s show – Cybill feels like a secondary character.
  • 90’s BABY ADVANTAGE: Megan just skipped ahead to the “good parts” episode – where David and Maddie finally get together! No fair!
  • Which Baby thought the show was too… SLOW?!?!
  • And which Baby thinks the show isn’t feminist but “femin-ish”?
  • When Serita’s mother was a baby, she was quieted from crying by… ORSON WELLS?!?! 

So join Susan and Sharon – and Megan, Sergio and Serita – as they talk civil rights, shoulder pads, “throwing vases”, Judd Nelson, Whoopi Goldberg – and “Muppet-level nonsense”!
