Speaker 1: Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and
Speaker 1: I'm Catherine Jileco. Every Thursday, we're bringing you a library find,
Speaker 1: a pick from our archives, and a parenting or pop
Speaker 1: culture tidbit or two. Let's start with Catherine's library find.
Speaker 2: Of the week. So, as you know, some of the
Speaker 2: library finds are just things that insistently present themselves in
Speaker 2: front of my face, you know. And I finally am like,
Speaker 2: what is this? And this time it is a movie
Speaker 2: called Sasquatch Sunset.
Speaker 1: What and Sasquatch Romance.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be like the story of a family
Speaker 2: of sas Squatches. Reading too from IMDb, a year in
Speaker 2: the life of a unique family. It captures the daily
Speaker 2: life of the Sasquatch with a level of detail and
Speaker 2: rigor that is simply unforgettable. Oh my goodness. So that
Speaker 2: is you know, promotional copy, right, But apparently then I
Speaker 2: read further on on IMDb there's no dialogue. It's just
Speaker 2: like grunting this whole movie. And like Jesse Eisenberg is
Speaker 2: in it and Riley Kean, but they are completely unrecognizable.
Speaker 2: They have like, you know, just so much like makeup
Speaker 2: and hair attached a fixed to them that it's so
Speaker 2: weird and it's supposed to be a comedy, and you know,
Speaker 2: it was one of those things like should I watch this?
Speaker 2: Like it just keeps Apparently lots of people are because
Speaker 2: it keeps coming coming past. It's new came out in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, but as soon as I saw when
Speaker 2: it said there's no there's no talking, I was like, okay, no,
Speaker 2: I'm out. There is no way. I at least have.
Speaker 1: Subtitles so you knew what they were saying.
Speaker 2: I don't think so if you watch the trailer.
Speaker 1: Find the sasquatch track, and then, uh, weird.
Speaker 2: It seems so weird. Wow, Like but when I tell
Speaker 2: you it has come through so many times, like it
Speaker 2: might even be a short loan, which means like lots
Speaker 2: of people are putting it.
Speaker 1: Out as possible.
Speaker 2: Exactly, how is this possible?
Speaker 1: I never see movies but about them. I follow society
Speaker 1: about them. How have I not heard of this?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That's how I felt about it.
Speaker 1: It's like a library sensation. Didn't I don't know the
Speaker 1: Library Video Awards come out.
Speaker 2: It'll do mm hmm, yeah, I mean it does only
Speaker 2: have a five and a half star rate out of ten.
Speaker 2: Writing on IMDb, Oh my goodness, but so weird. It's
Speaker 2: so very weird.
Speaker 1: Oh man, things that you find in the library.
Speaker 2: These here's here's some more. Yeah, here's some more texts
Speaker 2: from from IMDb. These shaggy and noble giants fight for
Speaker 2: survival as they find themselves on a collision course with
Speaker 2: the ever changing world around them. But also it's a comedy,
Speaker 2: just lots of jokes in there with the yeah.
Speaker 1: Except you can't understand what they are because they're just
Speaker 1: being told.
Speaker 2: Well that's yeah, that's why I'm putting quote jokes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess visual physical comedy apparently something like that. US.
Speaker 1: Wow, that sounds sasquatch sunset rain wreckingly awful, So it'll
Speaker 1: probably gain a cult following.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm that must be already happened.
Speaker 1: Would have had better things to do, But I guess,
Speaker 1: you know, times is rough.
Speaker 2: You take what you can get, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that it exists at all is amazing,
Speaker 1: and the fact that it's a hot ticket at the
Speaker 1: library is more amazing.
Speaker 2: Still, right, And it said and I watched the trailer,
Speaker 2: like and that was more than enough. It's said that
Speaker 2: it was in theaters. That's all point.
Speaker 1: So it's Sasquatch only theaters. Apparently you must.
Speaker 2: Go to the deep deep forest. Yeah, maybe it's it's
Speaker 2: the all. It's cheese, his his friend, his family that
Speaker 2: are watching it because cheese. Was was it cheese or
Speaker 2: was it it? I believe it was cheese, but also
Speaker 2: wasn't it Laura's not Laura Willie Jack's dad maybe who
Speaker 2: was kind of seeing sasquatch. I don't know, that's right,
Speaker 2: that's right, yes, yes he did. I've wandered over to
Speaker 2: reservation dogs.
Speaker 1: Found them out in the out in the woods watching Sasquatch.
Speaker 2: On d Wow. Sasquatcha mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Look that up, y'all. And if you make it all
Speaker 1: the way through, tell us how it is, tell us
Speaker 1: how it goes, because I am not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: We'll have to link the trailers on YouTube. We have
Speaker 1: to link to that.
Speaker 2: It's on IMDb for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, at least was anybody biting anybody else. It's
Speaker 1: maybe less traumatic than your pick last week, so it's
Speaker 1: just incomprehensible comedy.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I don't think they're violent to Sasquatch. They
Speaker 2: just want to live their woodsy life.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, just just uh try to uh grunt and
Speaker 1: let grunt, you know, yeah, leave them, leave them alone. Well,
Speaker 1: I too have a what's not a library find, but
Speaker 1: it's the Terry finally finished reading something on audible of
Speaker 1: the every two years or so.
Speaker 2: Don't I'm surprised. I thought you did finish the stuff
Speaker 2: that you've to.
Speaker 1: Well, this problem is I listened to like five thousand podcasts,
Speaker 1: and so by the time I get through the podcast,
Speaker 1: there's not that much time to listen to books. Also,
Speaker 1: I listened to the podcasts while I work because I
Speaker 1: have some work that debt doesn't require one of my attention,
Speaker 1: and so it's good to have something playing that burns
Speaker 1: up the part of my brain that would be worrying
Speaker 1: and obsessing over things. But a book you pretty much
Speaker 1: have to give the book your entire attention, So it's
Speaker 1: not a it's I can multitask a little, but I
Speaker 1: can't multitask a lot. So that's why I think it
Speaker 1: takes me longer to get through the books. Also, audiobooks
Speaker 1: are oftentimes so bleap and long. You know, you sit
Speaker 1: down read this and it says seventeen hours, right, and
Speaker 1: you know that's an hour a day for two and
Speaker 1: a half weeks. It's not that much, but it just
Speaker 1: you gotta go, oh no, no, I'm not starting that.
Speaker 1: So anyway, this book I just finished reading was called
Speaker 1: Hands of Time, a Watchmaker's History. It is by Rebecca
Speaker 1: Struthers and the audiobook I should find the name of
Speaker 1: the person who narrated it on the audiobook because she
Speaker 1: had a delightful British accent. And as you know, I
Speaker 1: am a sucker for this. So it's just like, well,
Speaker 1: if you're going to read it to me, could you
Speaker 1: read it to me that way? That'd be thank you.
Speaker 1: Title details, Let me see who read this thing, because
Speaker 1: it was not I know it was not the author.
Speaker 1: Oh here we go, narrated by Anna p l O
Speaker 1: s z a j Ski. Pronounce that as you will. Well,
Speaker 1: but she was a delightful reader and had a very
Speaker 1: very British accent. So basically what it is is as
Speaker 1: a history of watches. You know how they were invented,
Speaker 1: how they were made, how advances came to them, what
Speaker 1: part they played in history. Really very interesting, not so
Speaker 1: interesting that you have to put everything down and listen
Speaker 1: to it one hundred percent of your brain, but pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the.
Speaker 1: Publisher's beginning of the publishers blurb. An award winning watchmaker,
Speaker 1: one of the few practicing the art in the world today,
Speaker 1: chronicles the invention of time through the centuries long story
Speaker 1: of one of mankind's most profound technological achievements, the watch. So,
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm a sucker for non fiction about
Speaker 1: the normal things in our lives. And I mean I
Speaker 1: think you had read one about pockets, which I then
Speaker 1: also want read, and it was very interesting and that.
Speaker 2: I was a library Fine, I didn't actually read it.
Speaker 1: Yes, about this plank. Come on, so this is something
Speaker 1: that might go in a pocket, or on a wrist,
Speaker 1: or in a variety of other places. And so if
Speaker 1: you're interested in watches and enjoy listening to a British
Speaker 1: person read you nonfiction, I highly recommend Hands of Time.
Speaker 1: It would probably be just fine to read on the
Speaker 1: page as well, if you have that kind of eyeballs.
Speaker 2: I do not, right, And it was.
Speaker 1: Let's see how many hours it was. It was eight
Speaker 1: hours and seven minutes.
Speaker 2: That's manageable.
Speaker 1: That's manageable. Hour a day. You can get it done
Speaker 1: in a little over a week or fifteen minutes a day.
Speaker 1: You can get it done in a long period of time.
Speaker 1: But if you have a watch, you can tie yourself.
Speaker 2: You can tie yourself and know how long.
Speaker 1: It much nice to say about Apple watches. By the way,
Speaker 1: so I think that you know, probably you don't want
Speaker 1: to use the timer on your phone. It would be disrespectful.
Speaker 1: Get yourself a stop watch, get yourself a wrist watch
Speaker 1: with the secondhand come on.
Speaker 2: Right being, don't be an animal, don't be a sasquatchy.
Speaker 1: This would be hard to say. Did the Sasquatch have
Speaker 1: a wristwatch?
Speaker 2: I don't believe so. I don't believe they have any
Speaker 2: clothing of any kind.
Speaker 1: Well, then how did they know how to say it's
Speaker 1: time for us to walk through our archives?
Speaker 2: I don't know. They just have to, you know, follow
Speaker 2: the rhythms of nature. I guess.
Speaker 1: So monster moves through the jungle.
Speaker 2: Is when it's time? Yeah, is when it's time. Well,
Speaker 2: we're going to travel back to twenty seventeen. We did
Speaker 2: a speed round called what are you obsessed about right Now?
Speaker 2: Because for a long time our podcast tagline was what yes,
Speaker 2: parents are what was it reading.
Speaker 1: About, complaining about and obsessing about.
Speaker 2: Right I'm obsessing about right now. So we wanted to
Speaker 2: highlight while we were obsessed about.
Speaker 1: And weis I obsessed about them? Was that my Hamilton phase?
Speaker 2: No, you were obsessed with our podcast?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, our podcast.
Speaker 2: It's been seven years and has how has that changed?
Speaker 1: So we just were in the happy days when we
Speaker 1: had a large audience of bots. Before podcast of statisticians
Speaker 1: learned how to wipe those and so now it's not
Speaker 1: so fun looking at the stats. So that is something
Speaker 1: I have tried very hard to abandon. Just just imagine,
Speaker 1: just imagine they're out there. It's fine, people are listening
Speaker 1: to us.
Speaker 2: Of course, of course they are.
Speaker 1: But I have noticed lately that I have a habit
Speaker 1: of becoming super obsessed with something, living, breathing, and eating
Speaker 1: it for a while, and then completely abandoning it.
Speaker 2: It's a terrible habit.
Speaker 1: Both ends of that habit are bad because I mean,
Speaker 1: for a while, as you know, Hamilton was like everything
Speaker 1: I was reading, everything, I was following Lynn on on
Speaker 1: social media. I was listening to the soundtrack so often
Speaker 1: my family were saying stop. And now it's like I
Speaker 1: must never think of it. I saw it when it
Speaker 1: sawt on Disney, and then at some place the switch
Speaker 1: turned off.
Speaker 2: And you were like moving on.
Speaker 1: It's just completely For a while, I was super into
Speaker 1: the Bobby Bones Show podcast and radio show and all
Speaker 1: the people involved in it's super in falling on social media,
Speaker 1: super into it. They ticked me off with something on
Speaker 1: the show, I said, that's it. Never listened to it
Speaker 1: since unfollowed them.
Speaker 2: All on social media.
Speaker 1: What is wrong with me? Why do we get so
Speaker 1: so crazy into something and then just it's like one
Speaker 1: way or the other. It's not just a mild level
Speaker 1: of enjoyment and interest.
Speaker 2: Right, this is not somebody.
Speaker 1: It's also about myself. And every time I get interested
Speaker 1: in something I know, I go like, well how long
Speaker 1: is this gonna last?
Speaker 2: But it's not like important things that you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. It's like, you're not like I was obsessed
Speaker 2: with these children and now forget it.
Speaker 1: You know, out with you both you know it's not
Speaker 1: important things, and which makes me think, why did I
Speaker 1: ever get so obsessed with them in the first place.
Speaker 1: But it's see, I just latch onto something to relieve
Speaker 1: me of my boredom and anxiety and occupy myself, and
Speaker 1: then when it ceases to do that, or when it
Speaker 1: adds to that in some way, I'm just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're done.
Speaker 2: Or when it just runs its course, camelton me have
Speaker 2: just run its course.
Speaker 1: I still listen to I still have a couple of
Speaker 1: I one song from the soundtrack on a playlist of
Speaker 1: just stuff. I like that, So I listened to that periodically.
Speaker 1: But I've thought about taking it off and what.
Speaker 2: You've threatened to take it out, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's Quiet Uptown. It's the only one I
Speaker 1: still listen to anymore because that little forgiveness is so angelic.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, so, I don't know what am
Speaker 1: I obsessed about. Now. There must be something. There's always something.
Speaker 2: There's got to be something way my brain.
Speaker 1: Works, but I don't know what it is. Some people
Speaker 1: might say it's it's putting up things on social media
Speaker 1: about the podcast, because there are quite a lot of
Speaker 1: and I am enjoying substack. Yeah, y'all, go go, well
Speaker 1: look at my substack for cool ye and it's now
Speaker 1: has as we talk, it has four uh well, later
Speaker 1: today it will have four articles on it. And by
Speaker 1: the time you listen to it there will be five
Speaker 1: because I use this podcast as a deadline. But so
Speaker 1: it's fun reading notes and stuff on that and getting
Speaker 1: it can be real fun, getting just completely immersed in
Speaker 1: social media. But then you think, what am I doing?
Speaker 1: I'm a grown up? Stop this, I have like, real,
Speaker 1: why am I arguing with I'm not arguing with strangers.
Speaker 1: I don't reply to things. I just argue with them
Speaker 1: in my head and oftentimes in the shower I yell
Speaker 1: at them some because they deserve it. And but it's
Speaker 1: like this is this is not a good use of
Speaker 1: my time. So I'm trying very hard not to be obsessed.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, are you obsessed with anything right
Speaker 1: at the moment.
Speaker 2: Well, by the time you listen to this, I predict
Speaker 2: I will be obsessed with watching the Olympics. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: because that's happening, and you know, it'll be like, well,
Speaker 2: I really need to watch the you know, steeple chase
Speaker 2: semi finals or whatever it is that NBC decides to
Speaker 2: show us. And possibly we think we have peacock. We
Speaker 2: might have peacock right now, which was which is where
Speaker 2: a lot of things are going to be. But I
Speaker 2: just you know, it's definitely one of those. Like you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's considered being a fair weather
Speaker 2: fan because it doesn't happen in those others.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: But the thing is, those sports are going on. It's
Speaker 2: just that you cannot really follow them or watch them.
Speaker 1: Unless you now more than you used to be able to,
Speaker 1: because it'll be in some cable network or some streaming network.
Speaker 1: They'll have the USA competitions and stuff like that. But
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have in the past gotten obsessed
Speaker 1: by the Olympics, and recently just haven't gotten into it
Speaker 1: as much, and I don't have any enthusiasm for watching
Speaker 1: them now at all. It just seems like a bad idea.
Speaker 2: To have that many people in one place.
Speaker 1: Yes, and yeah, and that many countries in one place,
Speaker 1: and France hasn't been a particular land of peace and
Speaker 1: tranquility lately. So I want to add this, so God
Speaker 1: bless them, They've they've made it so that all the
Speaker 1: events are like in public places, so that lots of
Speaker 1: people can watch them. And so I'm assuming there's gonna
Speaker 1: be security guards running along with the athletes. All right, Joe,
Speaker 1: strap that rifle on your back. You're swimming in the
Speaker 1: sand with the swimmers. Keep up, keep up, Yes, watch
Speaker 1: the crowd while you're going.
Speaker 2: Man, it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: So I wish them luck, and I hope that I
Speaker 1: will not hear anything but wonderful reports coming from it.
Speaker 2: Right, And I hope that kind of like.
Speaker 1: It's over.
Speaker 2: I hope between the time we've recorded this and the
Speaker 2: time anyone is listening to it, that's something is not disclaimers.
Speaker 1: Were recording this a week ahead of when it's dropping.
Speaker 2: Right, forgive us.
Speaker 1: We'll go and e clip it and re'll release it.
Speaker 1: We'll boo drop something else in this spot.
Speaker 2: It'll be fine, all right. Well, I just remember, like,
Speaker 2: do you remember what was it like being in Los Angeles? Oh,
Speaker 2: when it was there?
Speaker 1: You know what. It's funny because I was thinking of that, and.
Speaker 2: Because it's going to be back there.
Speaker 1: Yes, everybody was so braced for it that it was
Speaker 1: a disaster for the local businesses. Everybody said, Okay, the
Speaker 1: thing to do is to stay out of La, stay
Speaker 1: out of downtown LA. Just let's stay where we are
Speaker 1: and never go anywhere and never go out or never
Speaker 1: do anything. And consequently, businesses took a huge hit, and
Speaker 1: I worked for a company that made giftwear and they
Speaker 1: got I mean, I imagine they just put everything they
Speaker 1: had on the table to get the license for the
Speaker 1: Olympics for their legs and stuff like that, and nobody
Speaker 1: bought stuff and they went under because of it. So
Speaker 1: it was like, well, good job on the letting the
Speaker 1: Olympics take over the town, but could you have shown
Speaker 1: some interest in it. It wound up being, as I recall,
Speaker 1: at least in my limited view, kind of a disaster
Speaker 1: for businesses in the area. So I wonder about that
Speaker 1: about Paris as well. I would think, I mean, are
Speaker 1: people going to, hey, let's go to that cafe. Sure
Speaker 1: it's right where there's huge crowds watching events, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure we can get a table. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: gonna be well, let's say everybody stay out of downtown.
Speaker 1: Maybe not, maybe not. Maybe maybe the French are a
Speaker 1: heartier type than Angelina's and just want to get in
Speaker 1: there and mix it up. But wow, I think I
Speaker 1: would want to stay away from crowds if I was
Speaker 1: just pretty much anyone anywhere right now. But I am
Speaker 1: a whimp.
Speaker 2: So I just remember I remember watching it for sure,
Speaker 2: and when it was in La. Yeah, Like I remember,
Speaker 2: I had a babysitting job. So I was fourteen, and
Speaker 2: somebody hired me to take care of their like six
Speaker 2: week old baby, like a very little baby, and they
Speaker 2: were like moving or something, and so they needed me
Speaker 2: to watch this baby, you know, for like twelve hours.
Speaker 2: And so I did. I just watch the Olympics Aliday
Speaker 2: with this time tiny baby. I was like, I cannot
Speaker 2: believe they want me to They're putting me in charge
Speaker 2: of this infant. Oh gosh, it was all fine, but yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I remember the most about it, and this
Speaker 2: it'sy bitsy baby. Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I didn't go anywhere near it myself, So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish them luck. I hope it's good. I hope
Speaker 1: it's worth being obsessed about, and that many wonderful moments occur,
Speaker 1: and for the Olympics and the Paralympics both, right, And
Speaker 1: I'm looking for my next obsession, so keep an eye
Speaker 1: open for me. It's gonna be something I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to talk about anything else. Maybe Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: maybe Hardy Walkers was kind of an obsession for a while.
Speaker 1: I don't talk about him so much anymore. I gotta
Speaker 1: look up. Yeah, I just I'm fickle, superfiicle, and yet
Speaker 1: I've stayed with this podcast for a really long time.
