WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.799 Hello, and welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast for the week of November twentieth. 2 00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:12.640 I'm Katherine A. Lecho and I'm here with Terry Morrow. Hello for 3 00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:17.519 a weekly episode to talk about parenting in a roundabout way, along with a 4 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:23.679 little pop culture. So Terry, tell us how it's going with your auchi 5 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:29.440 wrist. Yeah, my poor wrist, which you may recall, I broke 6 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:36.520 on October fifth and had surgery on on October tenth. I am still going 7 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.399 to occupational therapy for it, and we'll be probably right up till the end 8 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.960 of the year. And I go three days, three days a week for 9 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.039 about an hour and fifteen minutes each time. And just went to see my 10 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.200 surgeon again. He was happy with the progress. You know, I can 11 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:57.840 bend it a little bit forward and back. Whoa. I think action very 12 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.600 exciting. It's funny. One of the exercises I have to do for my 13 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.280 therapy is to turn my palm up and then down and then up and then 14 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.159 down. And when I do it as an exercise, I can't get the 15 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.760 palm all the way up. However, the other day I was bringing myself 16 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.439 a snack to my desk and I had my cup in one hand, and 17 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.239 I put some cashews in the other hand, the hand that I can't put 18 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.359 all the way up right and darned to avoid spilling nuts. I can turn 19 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.480 that thing all the way. Okay, this is the motivation. This is 20 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.439 what we need. See what they need to do in ot here's some delicious 21 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.400 snacks. We're gonna put it in your palm. Too bad if they spilled, 22 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.560 wouldn't it look at me? I could turn it. I could give 23 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.200 it flat. That's funny. And I also really have to get to the 24 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:48.000 point where I can drive again, because I have been asking my poor daughter 25 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.959 to drive me all over the place because you know, mom broke her wrists, 26 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.719 she can't drive, and sometimes she had to like take a break from 27 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.879 work at a certain time so she could go pick her brother up and bring 28 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.959 him home. And we were really leaning on her for this, and she 29 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.359 kept saying, Oh, it's okay, it's okay. My bosses don't mind. 30 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.120 It's okay, it's okay. Well, as of yesterday it is an 31 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.000 all ger okay, her boss's mind. I have said cut this out. 32 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.240 Yeah, so specifically said I'm sorry if you have family issues, but you 33 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:19.240 cannot keep doing this, so I guess it's time for mom to work on 34 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.039 that wheel wrist action there. So I asked my therapist if it was okay, 35 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.199 and he said, yeah, you could probably start doing it, and 36 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:34.960 I can wean off my brace, which is currently a bright blue piece of 37 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.680 plastic attached to my arm by velcrow makes me look kind of like an avenger, 38 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.800 kind of like somebody playing with kindergarteners to be pretending to be a knight 39 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.560 or something. But I get to take it off and just have my hand 40 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.280 be my hand, but admire my scar, very excited, you know, 41 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.439 start to be a little less bionic feelings. So right, you know, 42 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:07.560 folks, I again I still recommend don't fall. Avoid falling by all means. 43 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.680 This is better than when I sprained my ankle, but it's still a 44 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:20.000 lot. And you go to therapy and they do things that hurt so nice 45 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.800 people, and you pay them this privilege, like my therapist, Hey, 46 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.639 Ryan, doing a great job. But ow, but you know what, 47 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.879 it makes my wrist more mobile, So yeah, for that, right, 48 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.360 this is the end goal. I can type now, I can click on 49 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:46.400 my computer improvement improvement we're seeing, Yeah, and about time for me to 50 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:53.520 fall again and break something else. Well, good thing, you're not good 51 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:59.759 thing, you're not having to learn this or something, or Allison was doing 52 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:06.159 like handstand in her contemporary. Yes, I would be unable and I you 53 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.280 know, I would not be able to do the tango with a sprained ankle. 54 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.240 I've had a sprained ankle. I was not able to do anything other 55 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.800 than lay in bed and order people to bring me things right. But the 56 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:19.839 young can bounce back from these, Yes they can. So all the way 57 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:26.959 to Tends did so shi mm hmmm, Whitney Houston night, Yes it was, 58 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.519 and I have to admit I was watching it the next day, so 59 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.480 Barry going, oh, I guess this is my fault. I could have 60 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:40.639 voted for him, and I fast forward through the judges because it seems more 61 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:45.160 and more this season that what the judges say and the scores they give not 62 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:49.959 so much of a connection. So I'll just look at the leaderboard. That's 63 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.079 all I need to do well, and that's important and even that, like 64 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.639 as they said, and I don't know if you heard this, but at 65 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.839 one point Alfonso was saying, you know, well, last week, Leile 66 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.759 was one point off of the lead, and she went home so it's like, 67 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.600 okay, well, why are we doing scores anyways, because yeah, 68 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.879 it makes no sense. And like Jason and Alison, who both I thought 69 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.800 did really good dances, were like, at least for most judges, one 70 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:28.279 point above Harry. Yeah, stands very nicely, right, And I have 71 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.600 no personal animosity towards him. He has people who are keeping him in the 72 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.480 game, and that's the way it works. But the judges are supposed to 73 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.800 be the ones right the ship, right, Uh huh. That's the idea. 74 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.800 Give high scores to the people who are good and the and low scores 75 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.600 to the people who are not, in the hope that in some way you 76 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.839 can affect the outcome. I don't think they're even trying anymore. Yeah, 77 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:59.480 it's odd. I mean Jason was one rung up from Harry on the leaderboard, 78 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.439 and like because he didn't win his dance off, and also because he 79 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.879 did, they didn't score him very high for his dance. Well, yeah 80 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.639 exactly. And I was just like, wait, look at this. How 81 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.839 what I mean? I know we're getting towards the end, and you know, 82 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.800 we've weeded out a lot of people, but he is a better and 83 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.680 also you know this for some reason they're floating, Harry, I don't know 84 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.560 why they are not doing their best to get him out of there, right, 85 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.399 so I wonder what the deal is. But let me just say, 86 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.199 in case it was not heard by the producers the last time, stop chomancing 87 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:41.279 the teenager. Right, No, you know what, you guys better knock 88 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.160 that off by Taylor Swift week because Taylor wouldn't have that sort of thing. 89 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.759 You do, not chomance the teenager. She would write a song about that. 90 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.360 She would write a ten minute song about why you should not chowmance the 91 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.680 teenager. Cut it out. It's right. I mean, she's like, 92 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.079 she just graduated from high school, she's living. I'm pretty sure her mom 93 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.600 is there in LA with her, because I would guess she's I hope a 94 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:12.720 child needs to go smack somebody. Yes, it's like, all right, 95 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.600 let's take a young person in a new job trying to succeed, give her 96 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.639 a difficult partner, and then say, oh, by the way, if 97 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.720 you want to act like you're in love with him, that'd be okay. 98 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:25.879 Stop. Although it was cute that he went to ballet class, it was 99 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.279 cute, yes, towering over all the other well, they could put him 100 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:35.600 in the back because there were people behind him that could not see the teacher. 101 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.720 Yeah, I mean he seems to be I don't know if he's hiding. 102 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.720 Apparently he wasn't such a nice guy in the reality show he was in. 103 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.519 But he seems to be a good chap But why are you not getting 104 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.279 foorced? This is what you do when you want to get rid of somebody, 105 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.000 right, Really, I don't want to get rid of him, So 106 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.600 they apparently want to get rid of people who I like a lot better. 107 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.319 So they will successfully get me to watch live next week so I can vote 108 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.879 for Allison and Jason. I watched it just a little a bit delayed, 109 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.800 and I made sure to vote for those two. I'm concentrating my voting now 110 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.879 on Alison and Jason. Yes, I think so. I think I will 111 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.199 do the same, even though, like I mean, I like Sochi, 112 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:26.279 I like Pasha. Yeah, I like them, and I would prefer either 113 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:31.879 of them to charity. But yeah, I don't know. I just at 114 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.080 least for the next week, I'll vote for those two and see what happens. 115 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.039 One thing I was noticing they were saying, Riley was saying, and 116 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.480 this got roundly mocked in an online forum. I was looking at like, 117 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.440 no kidding, honey, but Riley was saying that Harry has trouble doing the 118 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:52.320 steps and also performing them, which is a difficulty for somebody who's not a 119 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.320 performer. I mean, a real reality TV person is not a performer, 120 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.480 right, even though how much reality is in reality TV we don't know, 121 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.679 maybe reading scripts, but still, and I noticed that Ariana, who has 122 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.919 the same background she's performing, she knows how to perform. She did was 123 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.600 very dramatic in that passadouble A. She did a great job. I thought 124 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.399 she wasn't just doing the steps, so she's got an edge there. I 125 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.840 don't know if she's got enough of a following to take it all the way. 126 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.480 But things are not looking so good for Daniella getting up there, so 127 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:31.120 I'll vote for the other Poshkov if necessary. Jason's looking ticked. Yeah, 128 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.679 I don't blame him. I mean it doesn't make a lot of sense. 129 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.759 Early on they were all over him, and now they're like, no, 130 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.200 right, no, not good. They're gonna diss him for like singing along 131 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.720 to the songs when half the pros are going to do that. Do that 132 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.039 and you can see their mouths moving. That is distracting. I don't think 133 00:09:54.039 --> 00:10:00.720 a singer singing while he dances is distracting. But whatever, we did not 134 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:07.639 expect to come here, and judging from this show, that's all. What 135 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.919 else the dance off? Yeah, those dance up teamings were weird. But 136 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.399 I will say that if Barry had to go, and he had to go, 137 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.279 he was not going to win. Yes, this was a good week 138 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.840 for him to go because he did himself proud. Both his dances were pretty 139 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:26.480 good and they gave him the dance off and you know, fine, so 140 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.840 he's he was leaving proud instead of like, oh, thank goodness, we 141 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.120 finally got that old loser off. So and he wanted to show us his 142 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.879 wax chest too. We got that, got that going for us. And 143 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.360 his professional hula dancer wife, so he got a chance to get her in 144 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.000 there to I know, who knew I learned that was something new I learned. 145 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.919 Yeah, but when that when he wound up in that bottom three, 146 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.120 I mean, Jason and Charity both looked ticked and nervous, and Barry had 147 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.919 just such a look of sweet acceptance, like yeah, all right, I'm 148 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.879 ready to go. This is fine, right, like, yeah, this 149 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.919 is coming. I loved that for him. It's like that's great, Yeah, 150 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.279 you did everything you wanted to do and you're going out love. Right. 151 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.519 So I wonder where his who the dancing wife was, Like, how 152 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.159 come she they never showed her? Actually there, I know she must have 153 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.799 some She's ao somewhere apparently. Yeah, maybe she lives in Hawaii. I 154 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:35.840 don't know who knows what these celebrities. Another thing I learned in this episode 155 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.879 that I would never have guessed to be true is that Clive Davis is still 156 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:43.039 alive. What. Yeah, he's pretty old. I did fast forward through 157 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.360 that part. Yeah I did too. But first when they say we're gonna 158 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:52.679 talk to Clive Davis, I'm like, from the really good for him? 159 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.519 Man, he's been a pretty old dude for a pretty long time. So 160 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.759 it's ninety one. Actually that's no bring chicken. Good for him? Though, 161 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:07.399 still still giving interviews about people he's outlived. Yes, also shout out 162 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.679 to Ezra in the opening dance and almost crying behind Alison when she was getting 163 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.639 her scores. Always glad to see him. Yes, well, why don't 164 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.000 we move on? Why don't we sachet on over to the gilded Age, 165 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.919 and just as a little alert to listeners, if the sound on this segment 166 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.879 is different, it's because Catherine is in her vacation location which is not quite 167 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.600 Newport, not quite, but also not home with the mic and all the 168 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.879 good stuff. Not new Part like at all, not at all. Next 169 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.840 week, I'll tell you no sexy young architects throwing themselves at you. No 170 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.840 disappoint Yes, it's very sad you haven't been invited to all the important dinners 171 00:12:54.159 --> 00:13:01.879 I have not nobody cares where you're getting your opera. Oh yes, yeah, 172 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:07.639 so boy, we moved from the opera Wars to the don't act like 173 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:13.639 you weren't my lady's maid in the early Wars Bertha. Bertha came back with 174 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.919 a vengeance this time, boy did she? Yes, shifting around place cards 175 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.039 at the table and uh, I just all sorts of skullduggery. I just 176 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.799 enjoyed. The footman or whoever, came in when she was switching the lady 177 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.080 the cards, and he said, can I help you? She said no, 178 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.919 like, no, I'm fine, I got it all taken care of. 179 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.559 You don't need to do anything. I don't know if you would be 180 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.120 able to get away with that sort of thing at that time, but still 181 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:52.559 it was delightful that she did. Yes, And do we think that she 182 00:13:52.879 --> 00:14:01.559 informed Missus Astor of Missus Oldcoote's former occupation or do we think that servants talk 183 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.879 and word gets around. Yeah, it's a good question because they then obviously 184 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:13.840 show Bertha saying anything to Missus Astor. And I don't think she could tell 185 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.080 her directly. I feel like she would have to pass the words somehow. 186 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.919 Yeah. I just at the point where the uh, the young maid from 187 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:33.120 the Russell household was telling the young clock mechanic in the household across the street 188 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:39.240 about this maid having risen in her social status. At that moment, I 189 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.960 thought, well, this is going to get all over town. Yeah. 190 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.360 She may think that she can keep Bertha silent, but she's not gonna be 191 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:52.799 able to keep the help silent. And eventually that stuff floats upstairs, right, 192 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.039 So or it could have even been Ward McAllister Nathan Lane, that's true. 193 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.360 Like yeah, And I again, I don't think he would directly tell 194 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.919 Missus Astor, but he's right figure out who has loose lips, which is 195 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.799 probably everyone. It may turn out that Bertha did it and if she did, 196 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.159 that was a masterful stroke because it never occurred to me that missus Astor 197 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.879 would not have this right. No, no, that that would be an 198 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:31.120 issue. But holy cow, is missus oldcoote mad Now I should remember what 199 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:39.759 her name is, but Winterton, Missus Winterton. But she's really she married. 200 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.120 She married this guy to get certain benefits, and now she's not getting 201 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.480 certain benefits. So right, yeah, I don't know. I still think 202 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.799 Bertha can squash her like a bug, but she can make a lot of 203 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:58.240 trouble. First, I also think like she should have moved to Boston or 204 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.840 something like. I mean, how did you not how did you think you 205 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.519 were going to get away with this in New York? Yeah? That is 206 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.639 as the aforementioned. You know, servants talk, and you should know that, 207 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.960 and therefore you should not think that you can keep your identity a secret, 208 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:21.399 right if you're with the same people. I hear San Francisco's nice. 209 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.360 I hear people have gone out to the West coast, maybe get mister oldcoot 210 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:32.039 to relocate. But hmm, yeah, that may have been calculation on her 211 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.039 part. She just thought she could load it over Bertha and that that would 212 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:41.039 be fun. But she thought that the secret keeping needed to go two ways. 213 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.480 You know that, yes, because it would reflect badly on Bertha, 214 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.840 but not nearly as badly as it does on her, right, And also 215 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:55.639 she miscalculated that Bertha was the only one who would be able to tell right, 216 00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:02.639 And Honey, I guess the servants who are usually just the personal attendance 217 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:11.400 of individuals are not usually publicly seen. Is this because because Michael Servius was 218 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.000 just fine until he was serving wine at dinner and then his secret was out 219 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:22.160 right? Yeah, I don't think that the ladies maids in valet is usually 220 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:27.960 come, you know, out from behind the scenes. But I mean you 221 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.200 would see, like the ladies' maids accompany their young ladies' places and things like 222 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.359 that, and you know, if they when they travel to Newport, you 223 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.559 know, everybody's packing up. I would think that I would think they would 224 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.519 be seen. But yeah, we seem to be given to understand with the 225 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.480 way the plots develop here, that they're not right that nobody has ever seen 226 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.920 what was her name when she's Turner, nobody has ever seen Turner, and 227 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.960 so therefore she can come back in a fancy dress and nobody will be the 228 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:03.680 wiser and the same with you know, it was fine for you to be 229 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.559 a Valey until people knew who you were, and now you must go into 230 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.880 exile, which he is resisting doing as you predicted. Yeah, bad move, 231 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.160 friend. It's not like you had any relationship with your daughter besides lurking 232 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.839 in bushes and looking at her. So yeah, I think you should go. 233 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:30.000 I don't know, though, I mean, if he has any pride 234 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.160 at all, sort of like being dismissed to the other side of the country 235 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:40.599 is not gonna go down. Well, that's not really cool of him to 236 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:45.720 ask no, and who knows. I mean, he moves out to the 237 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.039 other side of the country and then this guy decides after five months, oh 238 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.000 while I'm done with this, and then he's stranded there with no income. 239 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.799 He has to trust somebody who does not like him at all. This is 240 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:02.359 true, yes, So I don't know. It's more dramatically interesting if he 241 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.920 puts up of us. And also I like him on the show. Well 242 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.519 yeah, and you don't hire Michael Servers just to say, like, all 243 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:14.680 right, now you're going to San Francisco and we never saw him again. 244 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.519 That's right. I want to keep him around. Yeah, but well, 245 00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:27.519 all sorts of romantic entanglements in this episode. First, Larryan and Laura Bananti 246 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:33.119 getting it on there very cozy. Who could ever imagine that anybody could be 247 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:40.920 against such a quarter speaking of squashing things like a bug. Yeah, she 248 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.400 had to go. Laura Bananti's character, missus Blaine, had to go all 249 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.759 the way to New York to just be told cut that out. And she 250 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.319 was like, oh okay, and she she is her is her social standing 251 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.920 so tenuous that she has to take that. I guess. I mean, 252 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.599 I think I think making a mistake canoodling in the doorway quite frequently, and 253 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.000 you know, I think they could have kept it behind closed doors a little 254 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:12.759 better, but still right now, Well, and part of it may have 255 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:18.960 been, you know, she didn't want to damage Larry. You know, 256 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:26.359 she may have been trying to protect him. Does this seem like the kind 257 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.640 of society where can noodling with an older rich lady was going to get you 258 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.039 blackballed? Right? Isn't that? Isn't that what one does? Well? 259 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:41.960 And he wanted to marry her. Yeah, maybe at that point she got 260 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:48.720 scared off, like whoa, there busters a okay, but let's not let's 261 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:53.240 not work our social standing into this. It just seemed like she's she was 262 00:20:53.440 --> 00:21:00.319 easily cowed. Yeah yeah, but uh and also you know Bertha with the 263 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.319 you're so old and soon you will be older, and pretty soon it will 264 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.400 be like your old elderly husband, right or Banante is forty four, let's 265 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:12.599 calm down. Yeah, but I guess at that time that was He's still 266 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.160 not this ancient crown. She ain't, mister Winterton. Let's calm down here 267 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:25.119 a little bit, right, But uh ah, poor Larry and his heart 268 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:30.880 broke, that's right, and his parents still can't stay out of his life. 269 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:38.200 The more things change, the more things. But on the positive romance 270 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:45.160 side, we had not only Ada and mister Forte getting engaged just awfully quickly, 271 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.720 but there was a little romance between what the housekeeper and the formerly front 272 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:57.240 chef at the Russell house. Oh yeah, that's that's funding. Yes's. 273 00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:04.599 And then there is cousin Dashel's daughter declaring that Marion is part of her family. 274 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:10.200 You know, Mary, she's terrified it with this waiting. Come on, 275 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.799 come on you too. I want her to be my mom by next 276 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:18.880 year. Let's go move in. She is not wasting time, that one. 277 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:26.359 No, but uh that that uh, that union is approved of by 278 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:33.000 Missus van Rot Agnes, the union of Ada and mister Forte, shall I 279 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:40.720 assume, not be not be celebrated, not be celebrated, not be approved 280 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:45.440 of, and honestly pretty quick. Yeah, but I feel like that's not 281 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:51.119 that unusual, right, I guess. And they're both older. But I 282 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.319 believe what what Agnes will say is he's just looking for money, because isn't 283 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.759 that how she squashed her last suitor? Yes, but in that case it 284 00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:04.400 was true, It was true. This it was very fast. He seems 285 00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:11.160 so earnest. He seems so earnest, and yet it was very fast. 286 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.440 I mean, it's not like they got a lot of time left. But 287 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:21.839 still what they're practically in the grave. They gotta move it, move it. 288 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.680 But that's pretty fast. Yeah. I don't think they even went on 289 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:32.960 one proper well, maybe they they saw each other a number of times, 290 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.720 but he was hitting a knee in front of the choir pretty quickly. Yes, 291 00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.880 And I believe Agnes will have a quarrel with that, right, she 292 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.880 will have some suspicions, and sadly so do I. But I wish your 293 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:56.079 happiness. She's so happy, that so cute, not not making me happy 294 00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:02.400 as the whole. Meanwhile, in Alabama, yeah, there's fighting, there's 295 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:08.279 arguing. I fear impropriety between Peggy and her boss. And yeah, you 296 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.400 know, he has always seemed a relatively low key guy, and now all 297 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.759 of a sudden he's full of rage. So he's full of rage, and 298 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.359 he's answering the door with no shirt on. I know, what are you 299 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:26.480 guys doing? Stop it? I don't like this. Yeah, oh, 300 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:33.559 dear, can't we just be back in frivolous New York where the most important 301 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.960 thing is whose opera are you going to endorse? Right? Whose box are 302 00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:47.400 you going to get? Yes? Yeah, I yes, And I was 303 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.759 happy that that. George and Bertha are, at least for the moment, 304 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.119 back to being a power couple, back together. Back George has warmed his 305 00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.960 way back into her good graces, as long as he never lies again, 306 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:07.680 which what could possibly go wrong? Well, he delivered her the Duke, 307 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.279 so yes he did that was although I think that she did a fair amount 308 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:18.039 of delivering it to herself. But yes, he got her on the track 309 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.359 for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did his part, She 310 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.519 says, I think he asked if he was how the duke was, if 311 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.480 he was charming or whatever, and she said it doesn't really matter if he's 312 00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:36.119 a duke or something. Right, Yeah, like that? That was That 313 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:41.640 was adorable and I hope I really, I really like it when they are 314 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.920 a happy couple. And I really feel for George, who genuinely I think 315 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:52.680 loves her, although she is a handful. And yeah, and he was 316 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.519 very likely to at some point get himself in trouble again like the opera thing. 317 00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:03.240 You just fixed the counting. Did you fix the accounting by adding enough 318 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:08.440 money to make it balanced? Again? Yeah? They did not? Right? 319 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.759 Oh well, even though he is a ruthless robber baron who squashes the 320 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:21.680 poor, I like him. That's right. Also, I want to just 321 00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:26.039 mention just because this is a recurring motif and surely it will mean something. 322 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.000 Jack's working on the clock again. I don't think he did last week. 323 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:36.079 Last week there was no clock. This week clock lots and lots of clock. 324 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.359 Yep. It's got to mean something, right, I believe. So, 325 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.319 Okay, we're just it's a recurring motif of this season, so it 326 00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:52.640 must mean something. So next week on Dancing with the Stars is Taylor Swift 327 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.119 week, they got a video from Taylor saying I'm not going to be there 328 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:02.319 in Brazil, but I'll be watching and uh, I'm sure she will. 329 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.160 And also stop showmancing Riley. Please thank you for to add that on the 330 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.480 end. If Taylor says it, they have to Taylor, Taylor, come 331 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.519 on, just a tweet, just a Tweet'll do it, babe. And 332 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:22.079 on the Gilded Age. The title of this episode, according to Wikipedia, 333 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.640 is close enough to touch. That is season two, episode five. We 334 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.960 shall see if that is indeed the title when it comes out. But yeah, 335 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:37.359 because for some reason, IMDb does not have titles. IMDb doesn't and 336 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:42.680 HBO only has it like like after the previous episode comes out, Like what, 337 00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:48.519 I don't know where Wikipedia has some sort of top secret source Wikipedia either 338 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:53.880 somebody leaked to Wikipedia or they're just making them. That will work. That 339 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.519 sounds like the kind of title they'd have. More next week when we know 340 00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:07.720 for sure that's right. And now we come to the time for Catherine's Library 341 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.759 Find of the Week. What you got, Well, in order for you 342 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.440 to get this, I have to give you a little bit of Wisconsin like 343 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:26.319 historical trivia. So Lake Geneva, which is sort of south western Wisconsin, 344 00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:33.559 not very far west, at one time was like a vacation community, kind 345 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.519 of the Newport of the Midwest. Let's say, so there's this there's this 346 00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.960 lake, and there's all these big giant homes around the lake, you know, 347 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:48.160 cottages as they as they are called a newport. And there is this 348 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:56.079 boat that gives scenic tours around the lake but also delivers the mail. And 349 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:02.960 the way they deliver the mail is they have these sprightly teens that jump from 350 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:06.920 the moving boat onto the dock, drop off the mail, and then jump 351 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:11.559 back on the boat. It doesn't really stop. Oh my gosh, is 352 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.960 there a body count for this job or do they always make it? We 353 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:22.359 only lost ten sprightly teens last year. We're doing good. That brings us 354 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:32.039 to the library find because I discovered a series of books called the mail Boat 355 00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:41.240 Suspense Series. It is five books and a prequel, which just kind of 356 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.119 made me laugh, like I could see one or two, but there's five 357 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:52.119 that starts with the end of the pier, then the silver helm, then 358 00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:57.079 the Captain's tail, the shift in the wind, and the end of summer. 359 00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:02.160 Plus I don't know what the prequel. The prequel is called The Girl 360 00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:08.799 on the Boat. So they saw crimes or what? It's uh, super 361 00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:17.319 not that clear. Let's let's read. Let's read the description from the author's 362 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:22.960 website. A teen without a family, a town with a dark history, 363 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:27.640 A body in the lake. Okay, there you go, abandoned by your 364 00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:32.880 own parents, forgotten by the foster care system. Bailey's learned to weather every 365 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:37.279 storm except the one that rages inside. It sounds like a lifetime movie, 366 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:42.079 it does. So how they stretch this out into five books? I'm skeptical, 367 00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.119 But this is the plot for all five books. Well, I'm just 368 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.480 reading you the plot of the first one. It's the first, As the 369 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.400 author says, it's the first book in the thrilling mailboat suspense. I have 370 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.240 to say, a kid jumping off a boat, onto a dock and back. 371 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.680 I'd be pretty thrilled just for that. They could just be, you 372 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:04.039 know, describing the risks every time. You don't need the body. The 373 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:10.440 wind. The wind is kicking right. Oh, that looks like a sprained 374 00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:14.400 ankle. Will he be able to get back onto the boat? He dropped 375 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:18.240 some mail in the leg? No, what will happen? Yeah? There's 376 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:25.599 so much suspense built in even without even without the body and the foster care 377 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:32.880 system and the gruff captain who's been there for fifty years. Oh, the 378 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.240 old salt. This is a completely new concept to me, and yet I 379 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:41.400 feel like I've read that book before. Yeah, exactly. You can buy 380 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:47.279 it as a box set. It's cool you can buy Are they like full 381 00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:51.640 on chapter books? Are they easy reading chapter books or no? It's for 382 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:56.319 adults chapter books adults, Oh yeah, it's I don't believe it's meant for 383 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.160 teens. Then I could be you could take one and read it while you 384 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:05.720 were riding on the boat. You might miss some some stuff I don't know. 385 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:13.240 So there you have it, mail boats, suspense about any of this? 386 00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:15.960 And now? And does Lifetime trik about it? Because if so, 387 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:20.799 they may wish to on. Now you have a little bit more information. 388 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.640 Be a series, you know, that would be a plot for a good 389 00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.839 first season of a series. You know. Instead of Dawson's Creek, it 390 00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.440 could be you know, Larry's Lake. He has to jump across it, 391 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:39.160 over and over Larry's Lake. Well, that is very interesting. So that 392 00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:43.519 is still going on. They still have kids doing that. That wasn't something 393 00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:46.680 from the past before somebody decided it was unsafe. Yeah, they still do 394 00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:52.799 it because now it's well because now it's like a big tourist thing, and 395 00:32:52.960 --> 00:33:00.400 they have these boat tours that include watching suspensefully as a teen jumped boy. 396 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:05.039 If you live in that area, I wonder do you want your teenager to 397 00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.160 be one of those, because it's kind of like a little tradition that kind 398 00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:10.480 of a get some attention or do you say not for you, right, 399 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:19.119 stay home, No jumping off of boats for you. Yep, mothers sitting 400 00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:25.759 home waiting fraut it's fat would be you for sure, Yes, yes, 401 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:32.720 also fraud are archives which are full of anxiety about things much less perilous than 402 00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.359 jumping off a boat, right, or being forgotten by the foster care system 403 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.759 or any of that stuff. I don't need anything real to worry about. 404 00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:46.119 I can just worry. So so we're gonna take another spin through the archives 405 00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:50.480 and see what we were talking about three years ago, four years ago, 406 00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:54.279 and five years ago. This week. Yes, I did select items from 407 00:33:54.319 --> 00:34:01.200 the more positive section of our arch. It's on holiday weekend, let's take 408 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:10.519 exactly. Yes, things were thankful for happy places. We visit online that 409 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:16.440 sort of thing. Yes, and happy Thanksgiving two days from now, unless 410 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:21.440 you're not listening to this on Tuesday. Whenever you listen to this, have 411 00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:24.760 a happy Thanksgiving or I hope your Thanksgiving was happy exactly. We had our 412 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:29.440 Thanksgiving last weekend. So we're just I don't know what we're doing. We're 413 00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.400 going to going to church in the morning and I don't know, maybe we'll 414 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:36.840 go to a restaurant or maybe we'll just sit at home eat chili or something. 415 00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:40.440 It's a tradition, that's it's going to becoming a tradition to do Thanksgiving 416 00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:45.920 on the Saturday before Saturday or Sunday before along with the race. That's right. 417 00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:52.360 So do you have big Thanksgiving plans? We are also having our Thanksgiving, 418 00:34:52.559 --> 00:35:00.599 that's right. That's right, and doing it in advance so involves, 419 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:07.239 you know, moving the whole operation. Like the amount of stuff that's going 420 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:16.480 to be schleppt from Wisconsin to Michigan is significant, I believe. Yeah, 421 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:21.079 I would bet, because you know, if we don't want to have to 422 00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:28.239 count on an airbnb to have everything we need. Right, Plus we brought 423 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.639 the dogs so that, you know, make sure we bring all the dogs, 424 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:39.760 you know, food and their medicine and their great and they're toys. 425 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:45.519 Boy, Yes, it's like bringing a toddler. There's no stores there, 426 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:50.320 so you got to make sure you have everything no stores. Well, is 427 00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.760 this going to be the beginning of a tradition or just this is her last? 428 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.400 Is that this No, she's going to be going part of the year 429 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:59.679 next year, but maybe won't be there at Thanksgiving? Or will she She 430 00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.960 probably probably will, but she will have a little bit of a different schedule 431 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:10.920 because she won't be skating. So her skating schedule affected our Thanksgiving so ah, 432 00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.840 as it's so often does. Yes, it really does. It has 433 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:21.159 She's not jumping out of a boat on She's just jumping on top of a 434 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:29.159 surface of ice with fifteen other people climb up on top of people. They 435 00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:32.400 do that. She's not the top of the jump though, or of the 436 00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:38.559 lift, though she's a supporter of the lift. Said yes, so, 437 00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:44.679 ye, I think we're probably thankful for a lot of the same things now 438 00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:50.000 that we were right five years ago. Yeah, in terms of thank you 439 00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.079 for co parenting, and we were thanking all those people who helped us as 440 00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:53.960 we were bringing our kids up, right, I don't know. Do we 441 00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:59.000 still have the same levels of help now? Helpful people all are. My 442 00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:02.760 family members have moved to different places, so we're sort of on our own, 443 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:08.280 right. I would like to thank my daughter's bosses for waiting till now 444 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:13.199 to say she has to stop she has leaping work to go take me someplace, 445 00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:15.320 get to the point where I'm close to driving. When you do that, 446 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:20.280 thank you, Thank you that was a big help. Yeah. Well, 447 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.760 and thanks to your daughter for in general, for all of her driving, 448 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:30.559 which we've talked about in the past. Not injured, right, Yes, 449 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:36.159 definitely taking her brother to work a lot of a lot of the time 450 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:43.079 is super super helpful, so she's co parenting him. I guess she's definitely 451 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:49.000 the dog mom. She's definitely co parenting the dog. That's important. She's 452 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:55.320 the mom. I'm the grandma and my son is the funkal And I guess 453 00:37:55.679 --> 00:38:00.079 her dad is the grandpa or does he not? She's but he doesn't like 454 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:08.760 that, so we just don't include him. He's roommate anyway. He's the 455 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:16.280 grumpy super right, we'll call him Schneider. Yes, yes, but the 456 00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:22.800 dog doesn't doesn't go downstairs to go outside or get fed unless it's her taking. 457 00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:24.239 You know, we'll try to take her out to go to the bathroom. 458 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:28.920 She's like, no, oh, she only wants her mother to do 459 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.679 it. From my mom, Okay, yeah, it's kind of ridiculous sometimes 460 00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:35.480 because you know, you better not pee on the carpet girl, Right, 461 00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.320 she's not gonna be home for a little while. No, that's okay, 462 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:42.239 I'm staying here. But that is nice for you that you're not responsible. 463 00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:45.199 Yeah. Yeah, she's doing everything and and when she ever gets lazy and 464 00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:47.599 doesn't want to do stuff, I'm like, she's your dog, right, 465 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:51.199 You're the mom. You know, you have kids. You got to feed 466 00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.960 him whether you feel like it or not. That is a frustrating thing about 467 00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:59.360 kids. She's learning that it's mixed, a mixed blessing to have the dog 468 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:04.599 like you best. Right. Absolutely, yeah, but she is definitely co 469 00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.079 if not entirely parenting the dog. And you're right, absolutely, that's the 470 00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:12.880 rest of us all the book, for sure. Did you have any co 471 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.800 parenting people you wanted to mention? Not really. I mean I think we're, 472 00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:21.519 like you said, we're kind of moving past that to an extent. 473 00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:28.519 You know, we have our we have our college parent Facebook groups which there 474 00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:36.880 you go, mostly not not needed anymore and never were that don't get good 475 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:40.199 information. So thanks for you to worry about, right, yeah, we 476 00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:45.679 have to, so thank you for not giving me any information that I can 477 00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:49.280 worry about well. And also I can feel superior, you know, like 478 00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:57.000 oh yeah, like I'm I'm not asking this dumb quish that is such a 479 00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:01.679 good feeling as yeah, or like when people are like what you know, 480 00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:07.960 I don't know, just things that either their child should be figuring out or 481 00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:14.920 they could find out by you know, speaking to the appropriate person at the 482 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.760 school instead of trying to get the parents to tell them, you know, 483 00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.400 like like how do I do this or that to the dining plan? Like, 484 00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:27.599 well call the dining plan, like we don't know. Yeah, there's 485 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:31.480 some sort of loud work being done outside of my window here over on the 486 00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:36.480 school side. So if you all hear something that sounds like a power saw 487 00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:42.400 that is not in my house, it is someplace else, but it is 488 00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.960 very loud, so I can hear it a little bit. I apologize for 489 00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:52.039 any disruption and it's making me feel negative. So let's talk about finding positive 490 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:57.800 places online. I have to say that I have some of the places that 491 00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:02.599 I named in that episode I no longer so I'm thin I will enjoy the 492 00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:06.760 positivity for a while and then go, this is no longer meeting my needs. 493 00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:12.000 I'm out of here right right. But and the giant pandacam. We 494 00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:15.280 listed the giant panda that may have been Nicole. I don't remember who said 495 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:21.280 that originally, But now the pandas have gone by by, so you can't 496 00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:25.519 know. You can't visit them at the at the pandacam anymore. Yeah, 497 00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:30.239 to go back to China. There may be a few pandas left in American 498 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.960 zoos, but in general, I think they're all having to be returned. 499 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:40.000 So get your fill now if you if you need. We rate dogs is 500 00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:45.599 still fun. That is still an excellent follow on Instagram. And I still 501 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:52.039 follow the Kangaroo Sanctuary, which I had listed three years ago. And I 502 00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:58.320 still still follow Lindsay and Whitney and enjoy watching their children grow up. It's 503 00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:02.000 not creepy at all, really, it's fine. And also now Pasha and 504 00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:08.039 Danielle's little girl ah so cute, and watching Sasha be the be the funkal 505 00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:13.599 speaking of that funk, all of them apparently lots of cute pictures. Sasha 506 00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:19.079 and Sage seem to have bonded Lindsay's daughter. Yes, and uh that's fun. 507 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.000 I like I like watching it adds to my enjoyment of dancing with the 508 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:29.119 stars. But also there's a cute kids. Yes, a little video of 509 00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:35.639 Jenna and VAL's son kissing Danielle and Pasha's little girl. They're they're adorable, 510 00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:44.039 So more more dancing with the star baby content. Forget the dancing as long 511 00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:47.119 as you don't start show mancing them, right, and you have like a 512 00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:51.079 little dance with everybody who has a baby to come and dance with their kid. 513 00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.440 That would be fun because they are quite a lot. Yes, must 514 00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:59.599 be quite the little nursery there. Yeah, because they do seem to bring 515 00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:01.880 them with. I see pictures of them with their kids at work. So 516 00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:08.559 how fun would that be to be dancing with the stars daycare worker. That's 517 00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:13.000 a good gig, some weird hours, but yes, yeah, right, 518 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:15.239 and you go home with well, you know, you go home with glitter 519 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:21.199 in your hair no matter where you're doing a daycare, so it doesn't it 520 00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:28.039 would be a higher class of glitter. Yes, I've mentioned Heidi wrangles cats 521 00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:31.159 here lately. I enjoy that and that's a fairly positive place because she's Yes, 522 00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:37.280 occasionally something sad happens, but mostly it's kittens, kits being rescued. 523 00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:45.320 Yeah for good Londons. Yes, and uh, there's also one. I 524 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:47.519 don't think it's we rate dogs. It's another one where a guy just takes 525 00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:51.159 pictures of dogs on the streets of New York. I think, oh, 526 00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:55.239 yeah, is it the doggest Yes, might be he just walks up to 527 00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:59.400 people and says, can I take a picture of your dog, which she 528 00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:02.599 must ask beforehand because nobody ever says no. I would think you're a city 529 00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:09.039 quite often that could get you in trouble. But most people wanted to show 530 00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:14.320 off their dog, little descriptions of their personality and stuff like that. So 531 00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:17.519 that's fun, that's upbeat. But mostly I'm just staying off of social media, 532 00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:23.480 trying. I'm trying. It's so hard, so hard. I am 533 00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:31.159 stocking my daughter's team on TikTok, like I refused to actually download TikTok and 534 00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:37.360 make myself an account, but her team has a TikTok and it's public, 535 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:42.119 so I can go look at that from time to time and I don't remember 536 00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.960 if I mentioned this on here, but they made and it's been a couple 537 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:50.440 months now, but they made a TikTok where they took a hockey player from 538 00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:54.519 their school's team and tried to teach him a bunch of their skating moves, 539 00:44:54.840 --> 00:45:01.519 and you know it pretty much like Riley and Harry. Yeah, it was 540 00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:06.119 difficult for him, although in the comments a lot of people are like, 541 00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:10.039 well, he's wearing hockey skates putting in a given figure skate, like no, 542 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:15.119 and he was wearing pads like he was wearing his full lot So yes, 543 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:21.039 that did make it harder. But anyway, they did this whole thing 544 00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:25.280 and it now has like one let me, let me check how many it 545 00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:30.320 has, well over a million views. It has one point eight views. 546 00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:38.880 Wow to it. That's great fun. And there's this very popular book right 547 00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:43.400 now called ice Breaker, which is about a hockey player and a figure skater 548 00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:47.079 and apparently there's a whole long time ago. Well yes, what was that? 549 00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:54.480 Yes, the actress that's like the wind. Yeah, it's it's the 550 00:45:54.519 --> 00:46:00.719 cutting edge or the cutting edge, I think. Yeah. Well, so 551 00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:07.599 this this book is super popular on TikTok also, and so the comments on 552 00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:15.679 this the team TikTok that I'm mentioning. The comments are just NonStop like icebreaker, 553 00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:22.719 icebreaker eyess, So it's pretty funny. Yeah, it is amusing, 554 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:30.280 so nice.
