    Hello everyone! We're going into #TheUpdate vault to play one of our many episodes throughout our many years of the show. For today's episode, we go into the world of 2020- or as we call it around here, Year 4 of The Update. It was a weird year- starting off in the WKRB studios and then going out on the road (in the middle of a pandemic no less!), but somehow, we found a way to make it work. Oh, and one last thing about this episode- after the show aired, one of my former producers who happened to be listening to the show called me up and invited me out to lunch. How about that?

    It’s a familiar scene for many couples: you go to work, come home exhausted, eat dinner, watch TV, and then head to bed. After several “Can we talk about this later?” requests and “But we can’t go to bed angry!” retorts, an hour has passed that your partner will gladly remind you the next day “could have been spent sleeping”. According to Carly Dober, a Principal Psychologist and clinic owner at Enriching Lives Psychology, this pattern is more common than you might think.
