A great episode that just got me to binge the entire series of Dinosaur last night. Why only six? I loved the bowling episode when she first walks into the building and everything is ridiculously loud and flashing. I felt that. It also brought back memories of my odd relationship with bowling. When I was like four I was fascinated with bowling basically due to the rolling of the ball, the sound of the pins getting knocked over and the ball return mechanism. At least the television version. Apparently I liked to watch it so much my parents decided to take me to a bowling alley to watch for real. Neither of my parents bowled. I guess when I actually got to the alley one take of the noise of the people and the cigarette smoke (this was the 80's) made me want to leave immediately. I got a little plastic set of multi-colored balls and pins for my birthday instead. However, I moved on to marbles and those bouncy balls I got out of the clicky vending machine for 10 cents to which I would roll them down my Hot Wheels track or make creases in my bean bag chair. I never returned to a bowling alley until friends drug me there in high school. The shoes freaked me out. But it was less of a yuck factor and more of a "can't stand the smell of the deodorizer/sanitizer they used". And the hard non-flexible feel of them. Like seriously, are they made of wood? I rolled the ball like five times and was done. Now I don't even like playing bowling on Nintendo Sports.

Agreed - I want more!! LOL
A great episode, and enjoyed it the second time just as much.
My favorite part of this episode—
Ashley: “Ncuti Gatwa is our new Doctor Who, also Scottish… We love you Ncuti!”
Angela: “Sometimes *without pants* “
Ashley: “I met him so *briefly* 😂
… Also I didn’t lick him, in case anybody’s wondering.” 😂
(Yes, I was wondering.)
Thanks for the laughs, and I hope you can be a guest on the show again Ashley!
Such an incredibly funny & powerful episode! Listening to the three of you is so enjoyable & life affirming, I hope we get more soon!
