00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and

2
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm Catherine Jileco. Every Thursday, we're bringing you a library find,

3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a pick from our archives, and a parenting or pop

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>culture tidbit or two. Let's start with Catherine's library find.

5
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Of the week. So, as you know, some of the

6
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 2>library finds are just things that insistently present themselves in

7
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 2>front of my face, you know. And I finally am like,

8
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 2>what is this? And this time it is a movie

9
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 2>called Sasquatch Sunset.

10
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>What and Sasquatch Romance.

11
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>It's supposed to be like the story of a family

12
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 2>of sas Squatches. Reading too from IMDb, a year in

13
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the life of a unique family. It captures the daily

14
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>life of the Sasquatch with a level of detail and

15
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 2>rigor that is simply unforgettable. Oh my goodness. So that

16
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>is you know, promotional copy, right, But apparently then I

17
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 2>read further on on IMDb there's no dialogue. It's just

18
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>like grunting this whole movie. And like Jesse Eisenberg is

19
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>in it and Riley Kean, but they are completely unrecognizable.

20
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>They have like, you know, just so much like makeup

21
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 2>and hair attached a fixed to them that it's so

22
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>weird and it's supposed to be a comedy, and you know,

23
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>it was one of those things like should I watch this?

24
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Like it just keeps Apparently lots of people are because

25
00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>it keeps coming coming past. It's new came out in

26
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four, but as soon as I saw when

27
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 2>it said there's no there's no talking, I was like, okay, no,

28
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm out. There is no way. I at least have.

29
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Subtitles so you knew what they were saying.

30
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so if you watch the trailer.

31
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Find the sasquatch track, and then, uh, weird.

32
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 2>It seems so weird. Wow, Like but when I tell

33
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>you it has come through so many times, like it

34
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>might even be a short loan, which means like lots

35
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>of people are putting it.

36
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Out as possible.

37
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, how is this possible?

38
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I never see movies but about them. I follow society

39
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 1>about them. How have I not heard of this?

40
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? That's how I felt about it.

41
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like a library sensation. Didn't I don't know the

42
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Library Video Awards come out.

43
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 2>It'll do mm hmm, yeah, I mean it does only

44
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>have a five and a half star rate out of ten.

45
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Writing on IMDb, Oh my goodness, but so weird. It's

46
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>so very weird.

47
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, things that you find in the library.

48
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 2>These here's here's some more. Yeah, here's some more texts

49
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>from from IMDb. These shaggy and noble giants fight for

50
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 2>survival as they find themselves on a collision course with

51
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>the ever changing world around them. But also it's a comedy,

52
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>just lots of jokes in there with the yeah.

53
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Except you can't understand what they are because they're just

54
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>being told.

55
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Well that's yeah, that's why I'm putting quote jokes. Yeah,

56
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess visual physical comedy apparently something like that. US.

57
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that sounds sasquatch sunset rain wreckingly awful, So it'll

58
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>probably gain a cult following.

59
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm that must be already happened.

60
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Would have had better things to do, But I guess,

61
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, times is rough.

62
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.439
<v Speaker 2>You take what you can get, right, I don't know.

63
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the fact that it exists at all is amazing,

64
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and the fact that it's a hot ticket at the

65
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 1>library is more amazing.

66
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Still, right, And it said and I watched the trailer,

67
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>like and that was more than enough. It's said that

68
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 2>it was in theaters. That's all point.

69
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>So it's Sasquatch only theaters. Apparently you must.

70
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Go to the deep deep forest. Yeah, maybe it's it's

71
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>the all. It's cheese, his his friend, his family that

72
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>are watching it because cheese. Was was it cheese or

73
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>was it it? I believe it was cheese, but also

74
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 2>wasn't it Laura's not Laura Willie Jack's dad maybe who

75
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 2>was kind of seeing sasquatch. I don't know, that's right,

76
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 2>that's right, yes, yes he did. I've wandered over to

77
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 2>reservation dogs.

78
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 1>Found them out in the out in the woods watching Sasquatch.

79
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>On d Wow. Sasquatcha mm hmm.

80
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Look that up, y'all. And if you make it all

81
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 1>the way through, tell us how it is, tell us

82
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>how it goes, because I am not.

83
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's it.

84
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.879
<v Speaker 1>We'll have to link the trailers on YouTube. We have

85
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 1>to link to that.

86
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 2>It's on IMDb for sure.

87
00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, at least was anybody biting anybody else. It's

88
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe less traumatic than your pick last week, so it's

89
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>just incomprehensible comedy.

90
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, I don't think they're violent to Sasquatch. They

91
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>just want to live their woodsy life.

92
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yep, just just uh try to uh grunt and

93
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 1>let grunt, you know, yeah, leave them, leave them alone. Well,

94
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 1>I too have a what's not a library find, but

95
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it's the Terry finally finished reading something on audible of

96
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the every two years or so.

97
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Don't I'm surprised. I thought you did finish the stuff

98
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.079
<v Speaker 2>that you've to.

99
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, this problem is I listened to like five thousand podcasts,

100
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>and so by the time I get through the podcast,

101
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>there's not that much time to listen to books. Also,

102
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I listened to the podcasts while I work because I

103
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 1>have some work that debt doesn't require one of my attention,

104
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.879
<v Speaker 1>and so it's good to have something playing that burns

105
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>up the part of my brain that would be worrying

106
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and obsessing over things. But a book you pretty much

107
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.519
<v Speaker 1>have to give the book your entire attention, So it's

108
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 1>not a it's I can multitask a little, but I

109
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>can't multitask a lot. So that's why I think it

110
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 1>takes me longer to get through the books. Also, audiobooks

111
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>are oftentimes so bleap and long. You know, you sit

112
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 1>down read this and it says seventeen hours, right, and

113
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you know that's an hour a day for two and

114
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 1>a half weeks. It's not that much, but it just

115
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>you gotta go, oh no, no, I'm not starting that.

116
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, this book I just finished reading was called

117
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Hands of Time, a Watchmaker's History. It is by Rebecca

118
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Struthers and the audiobook I should find the name of

119
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 1>the person who narrated it on the audiobook because she

120
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>had a delightful British accent. And as you know, I

121
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>am a sucker for this. So it's just like, well,

122
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to read it to me, could you

123
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>read it to me that way? That'd be thank you.

124
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Title details, Let me see who read this thing, because

125
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>it was not I know it was not the author.

126
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh here we go, narrated by Anna p l O

127
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>s z a j Ski. Pronounce that as you will. Well,

128
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.759
<v Speaker 1>but she was a delightful reader and had a very

129
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>very British accent. So basically what it is is as

130
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a history of watches. You know how they were invented,

131
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>how they were made, how advances came to them, what

132
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>part they played in history. Really very interesting, not so

133
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.440
<v Speaker 1>interesting that you have to put everything down and listen

134
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to it one hundred percent of your brain, but pretty interesting.

135
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here's the.

136
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Publisher's beginning of the publishers blurb. An award winning watchmaker,

137
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the few practicing the art in the world today,

138
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 1>chronicles the invention of time through the centuries long story

139
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>of one of mankind's most profound technological achievements, the watch. So,

140
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I'm a sucker for non fiction about

141
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the normal things in our lives. And I mean I

142
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.200
<v Speaker 1>think you had read one about pockets, which I then

143
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>also want read, and it was very interesting and that.

144
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I was a library Fine, I didn't actually read it.

145
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Yes, about this plank. Come on, so this is something

146
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 1>that might go in a pocket, or on a wrist,

147
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>or in a variety of other places. And so if

148
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you're interested in watches and enjoy listening to a British

149
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 1>person read you nonfiction, I highly recommend Hands of Time.

150
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>It would probably be just fine to read on the

151
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>page as well, if you have that kind of eyeballs.

152
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I do not, right, And it was.

153
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's see how many hours it was. It was eight

154
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>hours and seven minutes.

155
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 2>That's manageable.

156
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>That's manageable. Hour a day. You can get it done

157
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 1>in a little over a week or fifteen minutes a day.

158
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 1>You can get it done in a long period of time.

159
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 1>But if you have a watch, you can tie yourself.

160
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 2>You can tie yourself and know how long.

161
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 1>It much nice to say about Apple watches. By the way,

162
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:06.559
<v Speaker 1>so I think that you know, probably you don't want

163
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 1>to use the timer on your phone. It would be disrespectful.

164
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Get yourself a stop watch, get yourself a wrist watch

165
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 1>with the secondhand come on.

166
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Right being, don't be an animal, don't be a sasquatchy.

167
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>This would be hard to say. Did the Sasquatch have

168
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:28.039
<v Speaker 1>a wristwatch?

169
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe so. I don't believe they have any

170
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.279
<v Speaker 2>clothing of any kind.

171
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, then how did they know how to say it's

172
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.879
<v Speaker 1>time for us to walk through our archives?

173
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. They just have to, you know, follow

174
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>the rhythms of nature. I guess.

175
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 1>So monster moves through the jungle.

176
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Is when it's time? Yeah, is when it's time. Well,

177
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 2>we're going to travel back to twenty seventeen. We did

178
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>a speed round called what are you obsessed about right Now?

179
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Because for a long time our podcast tagline was what yes,

180
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>parents are what was it reading.

181
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 1>About, complaining about and obsessing about.

182
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Right I'm obsessing about right now. So we wanted to

183
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 2>highlight while we were obsessed about.

184
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>And weis I obsessed about them? Was that my Hamilton phase?

185
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 2>No, you were obsessed with our podcast?

186
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, our podcast.

187
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>It's been seven years and has how has that changed?

188
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 1>So we just were in the happy days when we

189
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>had a large audience of bots. Before podcast of statisticians

190
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 1>learned how to wipe those and so now it's not

191
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 1>so fun looking at the stats. So that is something

192
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I have tried very hard to abandon. Just just imagine,

193
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.879
<v Speaker 1>just imagine they're out there. It's fine, people are listening

194
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>to us.

195
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Of course, of course they are.

196
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But I have noticed lately that I have a habit

197
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>of becoming super obsessed with something, living, breathing, and eating

198
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>it for a while, and then completely abandoning it.

199
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>It's a terrible habit.

200
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Both ends of that habit are bad because I mean,

201
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>for a while, as you know, Hamilton was like everything

202
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I was reading, everything, I was following Lynn on on

203
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.399
<v Speaker 1>social media. I was listening to the soundtrack so often

204
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>my family were saying stop. And now it's like I

205
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>must never think of it. I saw it when it

206
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>sawt on Disney, and then at some place the switch

207
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.399
<v Speaker 1>turned off.

208
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.679
<v Speaker 2>And you were like moving on.

209
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>It's just completely For a while, I was super into

210
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.399
<v Speaker 1>the Bobby Bones Show podcast and radio show and all

211
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the people involved in it's super in falling on social media,

212
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>super into it. They ticked me off with something on

213
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 1>the show, I said, that's it. Never listened to it

214
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>since unfollowed them.

215
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 2>All on social media.

216
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>What is wrong with me? Why do we get so

217
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:15.879
<v Speaker 1>so crazy into something and then just it's like one

218
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 1>way or the other. It's not just a mild level

219
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of enjoyment and interest.

220
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Right, this is not somebody.

221
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>It's also about myself. And every time I get interested

222
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 1>in something I know, I go like, well how long

223
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.519
<v Speaker 1>is this gonna last?

224
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 2>But it's not like important things that you know what

225
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean. It's like, you're not like I was obsessed

226
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 2>with these children and now forget it.

227
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:44.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, out with you both you know it's not

228
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>important things, and which makes me think, why did I

229
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>ever get so obsessed with them in the first place.

230
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:55.759
<v Speaker 1>But it's see, I just latch onto something to relieve

231
00:13:55.799 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 1>me of my boredom and anxiety and occupy myself, and

232
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>then when it ceases to do that, or when it

233
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 1>adds to that in some way, I'm just like, Okay,

234
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 1>we're done.

235
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Or when it just runs its course, camelton me have

236
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:12.720
<v Speaker 2>just run its course.

237
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I still listen to I still have a couple of

238
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.799
<v Speaker 1>I one song from the soundtrack on a playlist of

239
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>just stuff. I like that, So I listened to that periodically.

240
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.519
<v Speaker 1>But I've thought about taking it off and what.

241
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.480
<v Speaker 2>You've threatened to take it out, and.

242
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's It's Quiet Uptown. It's the only one I

243
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>still listen to anymore because that little forgiveness is so angelic.

244
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>But uh, you know, so, I don't know what am

245
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I obsessed about. Now. There must be something. There's always something.

246
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 2>There's got to be something way my brain.

247
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Works, but I don't know what it is. Some people

248
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.919
<v Speaker 1>might say it's it's putting up things on social media

249
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>about the podcast, because there are quite a lot of

250
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.159
<v Speaker 1>and I am enjoying substack. Yeah, y'all, go go, well

251
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.039
<v Speaker 1>look at my substack for cool ye and it's now

252
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.799
<v Speaker 1>has as we talk, it has four uh well, later

253
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.279
<v Speaker 1>today it will have four articles on it. And by

254
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the time you listen to it there will be five

255
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>because I use this podcast as a deadline. But so

256
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 1>it's fun reading notes and stuff on that and getting

257
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it can be real fun, getting just completely immersed in

258
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 1>social media. But then you think, what am I doing?

259
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm a grown up? Stop this, I have like, real,

260
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>why am I arguing with I'm not arguing with strangers.

261
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't reply to things. I just argue with them

262
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>in my head and oftentimes in the shower I yell

263
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.320
<v Speaker 1>at them some because they deserve it. And but it's

264
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.320
<v Speaker 1>like this is this is not a good use of

265
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.039
<v Speaker 1>my time. So I'm trying very hard not to be obsessed.

266
00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, are you obsessed with anything right

267
00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:58.799
<v Speaker 1>at the moment.

268
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, by the time you listen to this, I predict

269
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I will be obsessed with watching the Olympics. Oh yeah,

270
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:14.399
<v Speaker 2>because that's happening, and you know, it'll be like, well,

271
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I really need to watch the you know, steeple chase

272
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:23.320
<v Speaker 2>semi finals or whatever it is that NBC decides to

273
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.639
<v Speaker 2>show us. And possibly we think we have peacock. We

274
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.000
<v Speaker 2>might have peacock right now, which was which is where

275
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things are going to be. But I

276
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 2>just you know, it's definitely one of those. Like you know,

277
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's considered being a fair weather

278
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.720
<v Speaker 2>fan because it doesn't happen in those others.

279
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.240
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

280
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>But the thing is, those sports are going on. It's

281
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.399
<v Speaker 2>just that you cannot really follow them or watch them.

282
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Unless you now more than you used to be able to,

283
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>because it'll be in some cable network or some streaming network.

284
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>They'll have the USA competitions and stuff like that. But

285
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I have in the past gotten obsessed

286
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>by the Olympics, and recently just haven't gotten into it

287
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>as much, and I don't have any enthusiasm for watching

288
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 1>them now at all. It just seems like a bad idea.

289
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 2>To have that many people in one place.

290
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and yeah, and that many countries in one place,

291
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 1>and France hasn't been a particular land of peace and

292
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 1>tranquility lately. So I want to add this, so God

293
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.839
<v Speaker 1>bless them, They've they've made it so that all the

294
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.359
<v Speaker 1>events are like in public places, so that lots of

295
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>people can watch them. And so I'm assuming there's gonna

296
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:54.839
<v Speaker 1>be security guards running along with the athletes. All right, Joe,

297
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:56.960
<v Speaker 1>strap that rifle on your back. You're swimming in the

298
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 1>sand with the swimmers. Keep up, keep up, Yes, watch

299
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the crowd while you're going.

300
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Man, it'll be fine.

301
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:08.119
<v Speaker 1>So I wish them luck, and I hope that I

302
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.160
<v Speaker 1>will not hear anything but wonderful reports coming from it.

303
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, And I hope that kind of like.

304
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:15.920
<v Speaker 1>It's over.

305
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I hope between the time we've recorded this and the

306
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:26.319
<v Speaker 2>time anyone is listening to it, that's something is not disclaimers.

307
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Were recording this a week ahead of when it's dropping.

308
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Right, forgive us.

309
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.559
<v Speaker 1>We'll go and e clip it and re'll release it.

310
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.519
<v Speaker 1>We'll boo drop something else in this spot.

311
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 2>It'll be fine, all right. Well, I just remember, like,

312
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>do you remember what was it like being in Los Angeles? Oh,

313
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>when it was there?

314
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what. It's funny because I was thinking of that, and.

315
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Because it's going to be back there.

316
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Yes, everybody was so braced for it that it was

317
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>a disaster for the local businesses. Everybody said, Okay, the

318
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 1>thing to do is to stay out of La, stay

319
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>out of downtown LA. Just let's stay where we are

320
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and never go anywhere and never go out or never

321
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:13.319
<v Speaker 1>do anything. And consequently, businesses took a huge hit, and

322
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I worked for a company that made giftwear and they

323
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.759
<v Speaker 1>got I mean, I imagine they just put everything they

324
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 1>had on the table to get the license for the

325
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Olympics for their legs and stuff like that, and nobody

326
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.880
<v Speaker 1>bought stuff and they went under because of it. So

327
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it was like, well, good job on the letting the

328
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 1>Olympics take over the town, but could you have shown

329
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.119
<v Speaker 1>some interest in it. It wound up being, as I recall,

330
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.200
<v Speaker 1>at least in my limited view, kind of a disaster

331
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.799
<v Speaker 1>for businesses in the area. So I wonder about that

332
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.079
<v Speaker 1>about Paris as well. I would think, I mean, are

333
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.319
<v Speaker 1>people going to, hey, let's go to that cafe. Sure

334
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>it's right where there's huge crowds watching events, but I'm

335
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:00.519
<v Speaker 1>sure we can get a table. You know, it's just

336
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna be well, let's say everybody stay out of downtown.

337
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not, maybe not. Maybe maybe the French are a

338
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.599
<v Speaker 1>heartier type than Angelina's and just want to get in

339
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.519
<v Speaker 1>there and mix it up. But wow, I think I

340
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>would want to stay away from crowds if I was

341
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:20.640
<v Speaker 1>just pretty much anyone anywhere right now. But I am

342
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:21.359
<v Speaker 1>a whimp.

343
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:26.079
<v Speaker 2>So I just remember I remember watching it for sure,

344
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.400
<v Speaker 2>and when it was in La. Yeah, Like I remember,

345
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I had a babysitting job. So I was fourteen, and

346
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:40.680
<v Speaker 2>somebody hired me to take care of their like six

347
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.960
<v Speaker 2>week old baby, like a very little baby, and they

348
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:50.119
<v Speaker 2>were like moving or something, and so they needed me

349
00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.559
<v Speaker 2>to watch this baby, you know, for like twelve hours.

350
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And so I did. I just watch the Olympics Aliday

351
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.279
<v Speaker 2>with this time tiny baby. I was like, I cannot

352
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>believe they want me to They're putting me in charge

353
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 2>of this infant. Oh gosh, it was all fine, but yeah,

354
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.960
<v Speaker 2>that's what I remember the most about it, and this

355
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.039
<v Speaker 2>it'sy bitsy baby. Wow.

356
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well I didn't go anywhere near it myself, So yeah, yeah,

357
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I wish them luck. I hope it's good. I hope

358
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it's worth being obsessed about, and that many wonderful moments occur,

359
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and for the Olympics and the Paralympics both, right, And

362
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:49.559
<v Speaker 1>be able to talk about anything else. Maybe Taylor Swift,

363
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:54.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe Hardy Walkers was kind of an obsession for a while.

364
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't talk about him so much anymore. I gotta
