<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow.

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:07.960
<v Speaker 2>And I'm Catherine hileco.

3
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Every Thursday, we're bringing you a library find, a pick

4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>from our archives, and a parenting or pop culture tidbit

5
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>or two. Let's start with Catherine's library find of the week.

6
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I have a library find for you audio

7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>book lovers out there. Oh yeah, it includes Terry. So

8
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm not quite sure how you pronounced this, but library

9
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>vox is a catalog of free, public domain audio books

10
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 2>that are read by volunteers. So I'm sure the quality

11
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>is ver varied.

12
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But how do you volunteer to read? That's what I

13
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>want to do. I want a volunteer to read books

14
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>for them.

15
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh well you gotta find that out. Yeah, this is

16
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 2>the the volunteer to read them aloud, to record them,

17
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>and then anybody can.

18
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 3>You can volunteer to do this right here, volunteer.

19
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can volunteer to listen because anybody can listen.

20
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, this was actually the department heads that the

21
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>library mentioned this to us. So you know, your library

22
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>has libby, which or probably has libby which is an

23
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 2>app for borrowing audio books, but they are limited in

24
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>terms of how many copies they have and how many

25
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 2>they can lend out because they are quite expensive for

26
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 2>libraries to own. But with this Libery Box, you anything

27
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 2>that's in the public domain, which is you know, many

28
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>many classics, they record them for free and or they

29
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>record them and anybody can listen. So yeah, pretty cool.

30
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>There is on this site a thing to volunteer for

31
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Liberal Box. They need readers. There is something called this

32
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>is quite delightful a proof listener NA perfect listen to

33
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>recordings submitted by the readers and flag obvious errors easily

34
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>corrected before books are catalogs.

35
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 3>I know, this is so fun.

36
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 1>I would like to do that because I've often thought

37
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I would like to get into like being an audiobook reader.

38
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>But you have to like have a little portfolio or

39
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>something before you can, right, So this is.

40
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>How you do it.

41
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>You find some public domain book that they haven't read yet, Yeah,

42
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>record it and send it in and you can even

43
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 1>do short works. Yes, I wonder if they let you

44
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>just like read things that you've written.

45
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:35.719
<v Speaker 3>Am you never published?

46
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, here's my book that I wrote when I was

47
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>in college.

48
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I never went anywhere.

49
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure somebody would like to listen to it.

50
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it's pretty it's pretty cool that this is

51
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>a thing. I mean, I know, like I don't know

52
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>if they still used to do like books for the

53
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 2>blind where people would record those do to your basis.

54
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 1>That's another thing I've looked into volunteering forms. There is

55
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a way to do that, but.

56
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 2>You'd have to read with your eyes in order to

57
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>record with your mouth. How would that work? Yes, you'd

58
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 2>have to just blow up that text as big as

59
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>you can.

60
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 3>That's true.

61
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 2>That's okay.

62
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 3>I could do that. I have it on a computer.

63
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I can blow it up, right, So one of those

64
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>magnifying glass things, right.

65
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, I thought that was very cool and an

66
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>awesome resource for people to know about time.

67
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 3>That is very cool.

68
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>That is for people who want to use their time

69
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 1>in productive ways, either by listening to reading or reading

70
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 1>for listening, and you know they're doing something all the

71
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>time that benefits other people or themselves. Those people will

72
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>be listening to audiobook books and recording for audiobooks. What

73
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I will be doing is playing Majong Solitaire on my

74
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 1>phone because I have an attention span of that tree

75
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>frog that was bothering Sawyer.

76
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 3>On Lost, So I have.

77
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 1>I think we were talking about Majong a few yes

78
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago on this very podcast.

79
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Right because my mother and her man on the Inside

80
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Style Residents learned how to play maj Yeah.

81
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Well I do not know how to play the game,

82
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 1>but it reminded me that there is like a Majong

83
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Solitaire online and AARP has one on its website, so

84
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>that tells you who the target on it, and so

85
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I played the one on the ARP website for a while. Basically,

86
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>all it is is you're matching tiles. You have a

87
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>bunch of tiles, some of them are in stack, so

88
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 1>you can only use the top one, and you have

89
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to like look over this this board of I don't

90
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>know how many, but enough tiles that it's a challenge

91
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and find the ones that match. And the one on

92
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 1>AARP was pretty good, except it has a timer on

93
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>it and if you run out of time, you're done.

94
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 1>I want to just keep going until I'm done and

95
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>then then shuffle them if I run out of matches

96
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. I'm not I'm not trying to beat any

97
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>records here. I just want to sit and waste my

98
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>time by matching up little vaguely Asian pictures, so the AARP.

99
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 3>One was not so satisfying.

100
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>And also, boy do you never feel more stupid than

101
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 1>when you are looking at these things and you're like nope, nope, nope,

102
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 1>no matches here and you hit the help button and

103
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>there's like five.

104
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Things in front of your face.

105
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>How could I not see them? So this made me

106
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 1>feel like, Okay, this is a challenge. Clearly my aging

107
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 1>brain is not taking in everything in its environments. This

108
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.519
<v Speaker 1>will be a good thing. See, this is not just

109
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>wasting time. This is a good thing to find too

110
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>much and notice everything. So I sort of went a

111
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>little further afield. I found a couple other websites that

112
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>had it, but I thought, maybe there's one on my phone.

113
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's very funny. If you look for Mogong games

114
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>on the iTunes, the Apple Store at app Store, a

115
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of them say big tiles for seniors, so again

116
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 1>we know who is the audience. But I finally found

117
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 1>in the Apple Arcade, which I have access to because

118
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm subscribed to Apple stuff, there was one called Majong's

119
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 1>Titan Plus that the plus is about.

120
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 3>But it's good.

121
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I like it and it's not that complicated and I

122
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>can just play a game in a short period of time,

123
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>but I can take also take as much time as

124
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I want AARP, why are you rushing people? Just let

125
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>us There should just be a thing to turn the

126
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>timer off, which maybe there is, and I can't see,

127
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>just like I can't see there are two identical tiles there.

128
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Why can't you see them? So there's probably a big

129
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>flashing churn time or off button that I'm just my

130
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>brain is not deciding to show me. But anyway, if

131
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you could use another time wasting opportunity

132
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>in your life, brain building, brain building time wasting opportunity,

133
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 1>you might try Majong Titan Plus for your phone, or

134
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 1>the AARP website if you are a member of ARP,

135
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>or just google Majong Solitaire.

136
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 3>And many, many, many many.

137
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Websites will come up because old people will be bored

138
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and we're looking.

139
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Back over here, Grandma. We got.

140
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>It's super big tiles over here, Granny. Just for your

141
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 1>sad sad eyeballs love it anyway, Okay, I am wasting

142
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 1>time on this week excellent precious time that I don't

143
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.279
<v Speaker 1>apparently have much left of is going.

144
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 2>To but at least you're not on social media.

145
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not on social media.

146
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 2>So you needed something else.

147
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:10.079
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

148
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Good, Okay, So what do we have from the archive

149
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>this week?

150
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, two years ago, we were talking about good mom moments,

151
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>those times that were like, yeah, I'm doing it, I'm

152
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm acing this thing. We feel like we need to

153
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 2>shout those moments out when they happen, or remember them fondly,

154
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 2>because you know, we need to, we need to keep

155
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>our spirits up right. So, yeah, were they Well, surely

156
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 2>there are some you said that Yours was, you know,

157
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.320
<v Speaker 2>worrying and praying.

158
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Worrying and praying. Well, that's still that you're that's still

159
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:55.679
<v Speaker 1>what I do.

00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>You're good at those things, and you maror me get

161
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 2>any appreciation for them, but.

162
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:03.840
<v Speaker 3>I do not.

163
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.919
<v Speaker 1>No may or may not no no, no zilch zero.

164
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I get that. What was that line from

165
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>running point, I'm not interested in any of that, stop dogging.

166
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, I felt also to return to extra hut grade.

167
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>They sometimes mentioned tiny triumphs, you know, little little moments

168
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:36.279
<v Speaker 2>where you're like, yes, you have well it's very tiny.

169
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:42.320
<v Speaker 2>But when my stopic triumphs when my son asks to

170
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>use my New York Times login so that he can

171
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>read an article and I have I have tried to

172
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>tell I'm like, I, well, of course I gave it

173
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.879
<v Speaker 2>to him, but I'm almost like, I'm pretty sure your

174
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.799
<v Speaker 2>school library should have access to this, Like, you don't

175
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>need mine, but I will give it to you, you know,

176
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I will definitely give you my extremely insecure password. For

177
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>the New York Lives, I did not do one of those,

178
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.799
<v Speaker 2>like get set a strong pass. You suggested strong password. No,

179
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I did not do that for the New York Times.

180
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 4>Hmm.

181
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, because number one, it's like, oh he's reading.

182
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:28.039
<v Speaker 2>Number two, he's contacting me. Number three he is doing

183
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>school work like he needs it for a project of

184
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:36.200
<v Speaker 2>some kind. So yeah, it's excellent, excellent, good feeling all around.

185
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what have I done, Lely?

186
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I have not done much other than stay on my

187
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>office with my door closed. So that's possibly interpreted as

188
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.039
<v Speaker 1>being good, right, And.

189
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 3>She's in there planning games on her phone, but.

190
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not bothering us.

191
00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 3>I am.

192
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I will maybe take a a good mom moment

193
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the times that I go to the dog park with

194
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 1>my daughter and our dog, because I am being a

195
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 1>good mom to both my daughter by keeping her company

196
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and the dog getting to the dog park. So sometimes

197
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>we pick up my son on the way back, so

198
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.879
<v Speaker 1>then I'm a good mom to all three. Wow, I'm

199
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>not driving, my daughter is driving around there. I am

200
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 1>facilitating the outing. Yes, my daughter can take the dog

201
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>by herself, but she would prefer that I go along

202
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>right and sit in the back of the car with

203
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 1>a dog. And you know, if there's mud to be

204
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.519
<v Speaker 1>gotten on somebody, it will get on me, so you know,

205
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 1>And that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. And it

206
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter, does it that I just really did go

207
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>into the dog park and seeing all the dog and

208
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>talking to dog people.

209
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:52.159
<v Speaker 3>There aren't that.

210
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Many places in the world anymore where you can just

211
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 1>walk up to some stranger and say hey.

212
00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Right and start a chat.

213
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Right, yeah, but if you want to say, hey, what

214
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 1>brand of dog is that?

215
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:08.879
<v Speaker 3>Or you know, your dog is sure cute. That's a

216
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:11.320
<v Speaker 3>good looking dog. That's this is my go to line.

217
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>That's nice looking dog. Right looking dog, that's a great

218
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.879

<v Speaker 1>sure they're as do I. They are happy to be

220
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 1>reminded once again.

00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 3>There dogs are so good looking.

222
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Dogs are just it's even like an ugly dog just

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.879
<v Speaker 1>scruffy dog that looked like he'd been uh you know

226
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 1>these seen things, yeah, and done and done.

227

<v Speaker 3>Stuff he was.

228
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I think he was at the dog park the other day,

229
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 1>but on their way out, so I didn't get too

230
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:54.960
<v Speaker 1>bad to bask in his scrappy presence, right, and imagine

231
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>plots for him, Well, you just have to keep going.

232
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Back at point yeah, yeah, it's like.

233
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do we think that's what Vincent's gonna look like

234
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>in a few months.

235
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that is definitely what Vincent is going to look like.

236
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 1>At the dog part, like yeah, yeah, you guys, you guys.

237
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>You guys have no freaking clue.

238
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.960
<v Speaker 3>I had to eat frogs in the Jungle Man. It

239
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:19.559
<v Speaker 3>was rough.

240
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Everyone kept the dying and disappearing and yelling at me.

241
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yep, they go first forget me for episodes.

242
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.559
<v Speaker 2>They go for days and days of like no one

243
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>even thinks spares a thought for that dog, and then als,

244
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:40.279
<v Speaker 2>where's Vincent?

245
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Where's Vincent?

246
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>We can't find him. We need to find him. Where's Vincent?

247
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 4>That hat?

248
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:47.799
<v Speaker 2>You know?

249
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I had to eat ranch dressing. Eight year old ranch dressing.

250
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 2>It's been in the jungle, yeah, which probably most dogs

251
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:56.159
<v Speaker 2>would not care.

252
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>That dog should have got its own sequel, you know, yes,

253
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 1>I want to know where that dog went afterwards.

254
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.360
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, so this this dog, this dog looked like.

255
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.879
<v Speaker 1>It was more you know, maybe it had been in the mob,

256
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe knocked over some liquor stores, maybe did some hard time,

257
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.879
<v Speaker 1>and you know it's it's just up for anything.

258
00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 4>The dog is in the witness protection progress. Ye, he's

259
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.759
<v Speaker 4>hiding out in suburbia at the dog park.

260
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.559
<v Speaker 3>Just hope he never gets it. Don't ever take me

261
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 3>to the city.

262
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 2>People know me there.

263
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>It would be good Bloomfield anyway. So yeah, so I'll

264
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>claim that is my good mom moment. I'm not always

265
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 1>able to do it, but when I can, I really

266
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>enjoy it and I feel virtuous. Right, look at me, everybody,

267
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:55.919
<v Speaker 1>a little outing.

268
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Right in hitting myself perfect.

269
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm also starting in again like my second my second

270
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:11.039
<v Speaker 1>childhood here with helping at the vacation Bible school.

271
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.039
<v Speaker 3>It's at church.

272
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even do that when my kids were I

273
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>hired people to go with my son.

274
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know if I've ever done it.

275
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 1>So it's like, gonna go hang with the little's cute

276
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:29.919
<v Speaker 1>quite as good as the dogs, but it'll be fun.

277
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna be in the drama section.

278
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>So I guess that's kind of a good mom thing,

279
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.720
<v Speaker 1>just not a mom to like my personal kids, right

280
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the church moms. Actually, I think most of

281
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the people who did it are actually are teachers.

282
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.919
<v Speaker 3>So I was like, I'm just a mom, but that

283
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 3>can help.

284
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, some little thing I could do. So was it

285
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.039
<v Speaker 2>is it like currently, like a spring break kind of thing,

286
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>or is it gonna be in the summer.

287
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 3>The summer, in the summer.

288
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Last week in preparing July, I think yes, I had

289
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 1>their first meeting and I went, nice, Yeah, a good

290
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>mom because I'll be getting out of the house and

291
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 1>not bothering their personal family little kids. Yeah, kids, that'll

292
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>make me feel mommy.

293
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>When I remember one time some I don't even know

294
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:20.960
<v Speaker 2>how I got roped into this, but I had to.

295
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:28.759
<v Speaker 2>I was voluntold, I guess to listen to kids prayers

296
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:32.840
<v Speaker 2>at religious ed and like, because they were supposed to

297
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.080
<v Speaker 2>be memorizing all these you know, certain prayers, and I

298
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>was basically testing them on if they were.

299
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.080
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, I've just done that too.

300
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.840
<v Speaker 2>What am I like if they don't know, I'm going

301
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.080
<v Speaker 2>to fail them? Like it was just I felt horror.

302
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.919
<v Speaker 3>I felt so bad.

303
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I just prompted them, you know, a lot, until they

304
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.200
<v Speaker 2>got somewhere in the ballpark and then I was like, yep, they're.

305
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.600
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what I did. They were paring kids for

306
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:06.839
<v Speaker 1>their first confession, and they had to know the Act

307
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of Contrition and they had to know what like sinnias

308
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that, and there was a whole list

309
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>of questions which they'd probably been studying in their class.

310
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:16.799
<v Speaker 1>And it's like it's the same thing. They gave me

311
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 1>like a form to evaluate them. And some of them,

312
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>a couple of kids just came in rattled it off

313
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.400
<v Speaker 1>like boom, so they got like the excellent there was

314
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>like an excellent okay, and failed. And there were some

315
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>who just you know, needed a little bit of prompting,

316
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 1>and there were some that you just yet you had

317
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 1>to pretty much talk them through it and I'm not

318
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>going to fail them, right, they failed them. They got

319
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:46.880
<v Speaker 1>it eventually, exact it only took ten minutes of pantomime

320
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.279
<v Speaker 1>and you know, of.

321
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Course it's the very leading question.

322
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but they got it. And I went out brought

323
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.519
<v Speaker 1>them out to their mom, going she got it, and

324
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>they're so happy, and the one say al yeah, So

325
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>those kids are going to probably when they go into confession,

326
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 1>not know anything.

327
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Who tested these people? Kids just adorable, adorable little kids

328
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:17.599
<v Speaker 3>and they're trying so hard.

329
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 1>And I know what it's like to be asked a

330
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>question and have nothing in my brain whatsoever except maudjung Diles.

331
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Just frozen, like.

332
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:29.880
<v Speaker 3>So I'm going to be doing.

333
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:31.720
<v Speaker 1>That again now, and it's like, I'm gonna have to

334
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 1>ask them what constant because I heard some of the

335
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.599
<v Speaker 1>other ladies who were like teachers giving these and they

336
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:39.799
<v Speaker 1>were not so nice.

337
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.400
<v Speaker 2>They were they were sticklers.

338
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.640
<v Speaker 1>It's hard, and I don't know the act of contrition

339
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.119
<v Speaker 1>by memory. There's a card in the confession.

340
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I use it.

341
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.400
<v Speaker 3>Probably most adults do too. So we're getting why did

342
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.119
<v Speaker 3>they have to know it?

343
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 1>They just have to go in in there and say

344
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry and you know anyway, So yeah, yeah, I've

345
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>done that too, and that's interesting. And there's little kids

346
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.680
<v Speaker 1>are so cute. Yeah, you forget that when you have

347
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.559
<v Speaker 1>big kids, right, normally at this point one might have

348
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know grandchildren. But that's not going to happen,

349
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:18.200
<v Speaker 1>so I have to go. It's like going to the

350
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 1>dog park. I have to go to the vidy.

351
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I love it.
