WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:06.839 Welcome to Round five of the Parenting Roundabout podcast for the week of May eight. 2 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:11.800 I'm Nicole Ridicks. I'm here at Terry Morrow Hello, and Catherine Heleco 3 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:17.600 Hello. Today we're taking a break from talking and complaining and obsessing and instead 4 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.679 shouting out things that other people are doing that we think you'll find as useful 5 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:26.839 or enjoyable as we do. We call this our Roundabout round up. So 6 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:33.159 I will start first by mentioning a new series that my husband and I have 7 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.920 been watching, and Terry, close your ears. If you don't want me 8 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:50.119 to talk about AI rocking in the corner, you go ahead. There's a 9 00:00:50.119 --> 00:01:00.119 fun little series called Upload on Amazon and Amazon Primer Amazon, but it's an 10 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:11.480 Amazon produced series, and it's a futuristic show about people who when they pass 11 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:19.359 away there I guess, their memories, their their soul, who they are 12 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:27.400 can get downloaded, and then family can then pay to have them uploaded to 13 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.719 a virtual kind of I don't know, I don't want to say heaven, 14 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:41.319 but some kind of virtual living space where they can exist and then the people, 15 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.599 you know, living people can go and go for a visit to this 16 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:52.959 place and they can interact and so there's the ideas that you know, your 17 00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:00.640 life is extended in this virtual world and it can be skin fine, right, 18 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:06.920 it's all think about. But anyway, the story, as I mentioned, 19 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.560 is very light. It's um you know, if it's not, you 20 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.280 don't have to think too hard. It's it's kind of fun to see what 21 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.919 you know, how they've taken the show and what things you know to think 22 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:30.199 about in the future. So yeah, that's called upload. So that's my 23 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.960 little shout out. So Terry, what do you have? Well, as 24 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.000 we discussed earlier in the week, I had surgery on my neck which is 25 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.159 going to leave me with a incision that I need to keep out of the 26 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:49.680 sun for a while until it's it's all healed up because it will be new 27 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.599 skin. And from what I understand, if if you get too much sun 28 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:54.840 on it, it's going to turn red and it's going to stay red. 29 00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:00.639 So you're supposed to keep it covered, keep put things on it to keep 30 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.039 it from the sun and whatever. So I went and purchased for myself a 31 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:10.560 couple of pieces of sporty neckwear and from a company called cool a Bar. 32 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.719 I actually got it through Amazon, but they have their own website. They 33 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.159 have a section on their website that says cover your neck, So whether you 34 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:25.240 wish to do that for scar preservation reasons or just because your neck ain't looking 35 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.039 so good anymore, you can have a whole section and these the fabric they 36 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:37.039 use for these neck coverings has an SPF protection in it. So I got 37 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.879 myself a gator which you can also pull up over your face if you need 38 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.719 a mask, but I shall just be using it to cover up my neck. 39 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.479 And also a performance sun bandana. I am using that right now. 40 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.879 What even though the bandage is still on, I'm putting it over and feeling 41 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.199 very sporty about myself, look like a rich lady about to go out and 42 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.719 watch a polo or something nice. I say to my daughter, We're going 43 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:10.360 out for a walk, darling. My sporty little bandana around my neck with 44 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:17.439 the knots sort of artfully arranged, and my my swollen and bruised up neck 45 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:24.240 mercifully out of sight. So we are going to be in times of year 46 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.959 winning long sleeve turnal like is not going to be ideal. So this is 47 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:33.079 my neck covering of choice for the next however long I shall be, I 48 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:41.040 shall be covered but fashionably and sun safely. I should be considered a coastal 49 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:46.600 grandmother. Yeah, yeah, it's that sort of look. And uh, 50 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.720 you know what, I don't mind. It ain't too bad. I'm an 51 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:57.759 old gal now I can. I can get away with neckwear like that rock 52 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:03.839 the Neck Qua how about you all about the newhere? Well, I'll go 53 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:10.160 back to TV and uh, like Unicole, this is a show that I'm 54 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.160 watching with my husband and there are fewer and fewer things that we both want 55 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.399 to watch, so it's uh, it works well. And it is the 56 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:27.920 latest version of Top Chef, which is Top Chef World All Stars. So 57 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:35.279 it's they're in London and the chefs are from the Top Chef universe from all 58 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:41.800 around the world. So they have the winner from Top Chef France, the 59 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:47.680 winner from Top Chef Brazil, UM, some finalists from the USA and winners 60 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:55.839 from USA, finalists from Germany, UM, winner of Top Chef Middle East. 61 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.560 You'd be a finalist from Thailand, like all around the world, and 62 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.560 it's so you get And there's a one woman who she won. She was 63 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:15.319 a finalist in Top Chef Italy. But she's originally from Congo and English is 64 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.160 her seventh language seventh and she's doing this whole show, you know, in 65 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:28.560 English, and she just learned English like four months ago, after having you 66 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.240 know, grown up with two or three languages and then learning of two or 67 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:36.600 three more and then finally she learned English to do this. So it's pretty 68 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.040 it's pretty amazing. So it's all yours to be on the Top Linguist Show. 69 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.399 Yeah, I mean it's all your your Top Chef you know stuff, 70 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:54.600 your quick fires and your challenges and you know, seeing it's set in London, 71 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.399 so like they're going to all these places in London. They even went 72 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.360 to the place where Down to Nabby is filmed and they had to have a 73 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:09.040 give a picnic, you know, present a picnic and so all kinds of 74 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.240 stuff like that. So I recommend it. It's it's a lot of fun 75 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.519 just meeting all these people and seeing what they do. So that is Top 76 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:25.920 Chef World All Stars. It is going on right now. It's probably two 77 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.560 thirds of the way through the season maybe, so you could always you could 78 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.439 always catch up.
