My name is Maddie Kelly. I'm a writer and comedian and along with my co-host, Mark

Chavez, and Ryan Biel. We are setting out to write a romantic comedy movie script that

is genuinely romantic and actually funny.

Give me something that's both sexy and romantic. La Crosse. The sport.

And when we run into trouble, we'll get help from some serious rom-com experts. People

who have worked on everything from 10 things I hate about you to Mamma Mia.

This is all gold.

It's Let's Bake a Rom-com. Available now on CBC Listen and everywhere you get your podcasts.

Michael, you sent me an email. Can you just lay out the story you told me in your email?

Yeah, yeah, for sure. So, I have a little boy. His name is Charles and he's a bit over

two years old. And in the pandemic, we've been taking walks around our town. That's been

the new fun thing to do. Our hardware store, the local Ace Hardware, set up a little hand-washing

station outside with a couple of sinks and some sub-dispensers and some paper towel dispensers.

And for whatever reason, my son just became fascinated by the paper towel dispenser. And

it was very specifically one of them, not the other because there were two. He would

wave at the little paper towel dispenser and say, hello. And when you would come home,

he would ask us to tell him the stories about the little paper towel dispenser, like bedtime

stories.

The two paper towel dispensers, is there something that makes one, is there a difference

between them? None. They're identical.

There's something so wonderful about being a toddler that like they never know what the

thing is the next day that is going to become their everything. Yes.
