GSE332 All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

| Elisa Pacelli

We’re still sheltering at home, which gave Melissa time to set up her new TP-Link Deco Whole Home Mesh WiFi System. We think the quarantine has overwhelmed Skype because we had a few recording issues that became comical. If you listen carefully to the bloopers at the top of the show, you’ll hear Mike turn in to a chipmunk!

Mike and Melissa are missing going out to restaurants, while Elisa is happy with takeout. Mike’s pick is Dempsey’s Brewery in Watertown and The Corner Diner in Clark. Melissa has a hankering for Mexican food at Guadalajara Original Grill in Tucson.

Here are the products Melissa reviewed in this episode:
TP-Link-Deco-Whole-Home-SystemMelissa got the 3-pack pictured above, but if you have a smaller home, you could probably get away with the 2-pack set then add on a single later on if you think you’ll need it.

GSE331 Scream Sharing

| Elisa Pacelli

Coronavirus is still the major news around the world, and more people are working from home and using video services to keep in touch with family and friends. We talk about the pros and cons of Zoom and FaceTime. And of course, because we’re, well, *us*, we veer off into other topics.

Mike’s pick this week is Just Dance 2000 to help keep us active and have fun. Melissa wanted a nice backdrop for her video conferencing, so she chose the Emart Photo Backdrop Stand. Since salons and barbershops are closed, many people are cutting their own hair. Elisa recommends the Professional Hair Cutting Kit.
