Caitlin is WAY too excited about Women's Euro 2022 and CONCACAF, so today's episode is all about soccer vocab! You'll never wonder about the difference between a corner kick and a goal kick ever again.
Of course, the Ks also talk about the ridiculousness that is their lives: this time around, it's ADHD + Prime Day mess, and some Boomer opinions on the Gen X experience.

Podcast Q&A
Why did you start this show?
During the quarantine phase of the pandemic, we had hours-long phone conversations. The calls always included some tip or hack that made the other's life easier, and we ALWAYS ended up laughing hysterically. We felt like we had to share these conversations with others, and the podcast idea hit us!
What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?
We want adults to feel empowered with the grown-up information that we wish we had learned a lot sooner! (Learning is a lot more fun when you get to laugh during the lesson!) We also want adults, and especially parents, to know that they aren't silly for *not* knowing these things. You aren't alone!
Which have been your favourite episodes so far?
Jenny's favorites are #13 and #30.
What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?
CK loves true crime and is a big fan of My Favorite Murder, The Deck, and True Sunlight (formerly known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast).
How did you come up with the name for your podcast?
Once while Jenny and I were teaching together, we sponsored a field trip for our students and needed additional teachers to join us. I created an invitation for other teachers and signed it "Love, CK & GK." We knew that had to make it into the show title.
