Deep dives
Finding love in a rural area
A listener named Hailey is contemplating moving to a rural town in southern California to be with her boyfriend, despite concerns about limited cultural and artistic resources. Comedian Kristen Schaal advises Hailey to trust her gut and be cautious about sacrificing her own ambitions. Hailey is encouraged to give the relationship a try for a specific period to see if it works, but also to prioritize her own social life and connections.
Encouraging a child to play with others
A listener writes about her daughter, who prefers to spend time with adults rather than playing with other kids. Comedian Kristen Schaal suggests finding out what the girl is interested in, such as drawing, and planning activities that involve her peers. Kristen also encourages the listener not to worry too much and reminds her that kids sometimes just haven't found their social group yet.
Dealing with accidental lockouts
A listener named Courtney explains that her husband frequently locks himself out of their home by accident, resulting in costly locksmith visits. Comedian Kristen Schaal suggests installing a keypad lock system that eliminates the need for keys and allows access with a code, which can be shared among family members. This would prevent future lockouts and offer a convenient solution for everyone.
