Sometimes we’re just excited about the latest hit thing as the rest of y’all. Promise. In today’s full-of-laughs More Than Mom episode, Meagan and Sarah share our nominees for pop culture sensations we can get behind, the ones we can’t care about, and a whole bunch in between.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Sarah. And I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from little to
0:05.7	grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages of life. But we both know that
0:10.5	motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share tips and encouragement.
0:14.0	And remind you that it's really all going to be okay.
0:16.4	We're not experts. We're parents who've been there.
0:18.6	We're not perfect. We're real.
0:20.4	Welcome to the mom hour. Hey everyone and welcome to the Mom Hour.
0:25.0	Hey everyone and welcome to the Mom Hour. I'm Megan Francis here with Sarah Powers.
0:27.0	Hi Sarah.
0:28.0	Hey, how are you?
0:29.0	I think I'm a little better than you.
0:31.0	I am better than I was so it's all relative I had the flu this week the real flu

1:15.8	excited about it and we will mention awards shows which you do not care about usually.
1:20.3	I don't that's why I had to ask you and then the day that we came up with the topic was like the day after Super Bowl Sunday when everyone was freaking out about J Lowe and Chira. Yeah and that is another thing that I am I am I am I guess just neutral about I don't I neither like nor or dislike so I think this is such a funny thing because Sarah you and I have both been a little contrarian in some of the same ways about not getting into
1:44.4	things that are really overhiked or maybe being like the last person to read the
