No, they didn't mention any link with another celebrity. I was disappointed since I love when that happens. Yes, I remember when it was revealed to Bernie Sanders and Larry David that they were distant cousins. Larry played Bernie several times on SNL sketches.

Great podcast today.

I see the response to my post is basically laughing emojis. Color me confused. Just to make clear, I was not ridiculing the person who posted the original Jana/twins picture. I honestly thought some people might want to see the additional pictures she posted since video was included. I'm posting this clarification because I just didn't want the original poster to get the wrong idea.

Down to the top 12. Top 10 starts next week. I'll say one thing about this show--they have great cliffhanger endings. I get really into the episode and can't wait to find out what's going to happen, and then bam!--wait for next week's episode.

You mean like trump made a joke at his rally/rallies about Nancy Pelosi's husband getting his skull cracked when he was bashed in the head.

Re the photo upthread, in case anyone would like to see some more photos/videos of Jana/Stephen holding the twins, see below: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFAqkCCOIYc/

I could see Jana having no more than one (since she may be burnt out on babysitting since she was eight years old), but only if Stephen's OK with it. However, the odds are that Stephen will want at least a few children, so I'm thinking they'll compromise, like maybe he wants 4-5 and she wants 0-1 and they end up with 2-3.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, a few weeks ago Joy asked questions of all her children on Instagram, saying that she wants to make it a yearly tradition, asking them the same questions every year so they can look back on it when they're grown. It's a cute idea, but yeah, I wouldn't put it on social media.

On the DEI discussion, Sunny said, "...the very fabric of our company." I'm assuming she meant "...the very fabric of our country."

I don't have a problem with it as long as it's a responsible breeder as opposed to a puppy mill. And by a responsible breeder, I mean one who doesn't breed females on every cycle, who supplies proper medical care to both mother and babies, who socializes the puppies, etc. On a recent FB post, Stephen said that two puppies he had for sale had had their six-week check-up and vaccinations, so I'm hoping he's a responsible breeder. (Although I'm not thrilled with "mini" versions of any breed because of the health risks.)

According to FB, Stephen apparently has a side-line dog breeding business--Mini Aussies. I guess Jana helps with that.

Jinger and family's trip to Jana's wedding:

He's also on Have I Got News for You on CNN. I really like that show. Glad it's been renewed for a second season.

I agree she does well in interviews. For being homeschooled and sheltered, she's pretty articulate and can think on her feet.

I haven't watched this one yet:
