On this week’s episode, Rebecca, Carvell, and Gabe discuss the white-supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, then turn to happier topics, including how to win at Disneyland. Then they’re joined by Lisa Guernsey and her 15-year-old daughter, Janelle Krupicka, to talk about teenagers, cellphones, and a frightening recent article in the Atlantic.
