00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and

2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm Catherine Jileco. As parents and parenting writers, we can't

3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.839
<v Speaker 1>help but see everything through a parenting lens. But as

4
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>our kids have become adults, we find ourselves more interested

5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>in getting caught up on movies and streaming than I'm

6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>going over the same parenting topics over and over.

7
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 2>So since we're pretty sure we can find parenting wisdom anywhere,

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about what we're watching, what we

9
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>thought about it, and maybe what we can learn from it,

10
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>if only what not to do. Watch and listen along,

11
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 2>and let's all make like we're doing something important for

12
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 2>our families. Each Wednesday we'd bring you our thoughts on

13
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>a newer entertainment property. And for this week of April seventh,

14
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 2>we are continuing with Running Point on Netflix with episode three,

15
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>The Travis Bug Affair. And you had to feel for

16
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>poor Jackie.

17
00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, like you.

18
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Know, well, first last week he's suddenly a member of

19
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the family. Now he's suddenly working as Ila's assistant.

20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>And.

21
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, has no idea what he's doing because he's

22
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 2>never learned.

23
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Like, yes, I just all those who have been in

24
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 1>a job that is way over your head, and people

25
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>are like, oh, you'll learn on your you'll learn on

26
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 1>your feet. It's not fine. It's never fine. It's like,

27
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 1>please sit me down and explain to me what to

28
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>do right, And finally, fortunately Ali does do this.

29
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but it did. It did make me think of like,

30
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, when your kids are little, and oh, yeah,

31
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 2>you just you know, sometimes you forget like, oh, I

32
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>have to actually show them how to do this or

33
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>that thing. You know, they can't just pick it up

34
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 2>by osmosis, I mean something. Some things obviously they can,

35
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>but you know, it's not fair to expect them to

36
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>do things without any any help, you.

37
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Know, or to be mad when they screw up if

38
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 1>you have not provided that right help. But it's also

39
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 1>true that parents sort of are thrusted to this job

40
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 1>without sure's. I guess there are manuals now to teach you,

41
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>but since every child is different, it done works. You

42
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>just have to sort of hope that you don't screw

43
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>things up in such a way that people are yelling

44
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 1>about you on x X. Yes, now that that that

45
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 1>dude can insist on calling it Twitter, we're all going

46
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to call it X, right, Yeah, that was like parenting wise.

47
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 1>The point of that whole storyline was old people are

48
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 1>bad at tech. Don't don't let him he's not even

49
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>that old, but don't let him near your your devices. Well,

50
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and he doesn't know how to do the burner, I can't.

51
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you don't pick up the phone if you're busy.

52
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Get that is exactly now.

53
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>If he had just waited right a few minutes, I

54
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>think you would have to handle it without messing it

55
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>up in the way that he did.

56
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 1>So ye, mutch out. Yeah, she's she's trying to deal

57
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>with this annoying player. First, this is the sponsor she

58
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 1>just got, and then she takes him to dinner at

59
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 1>the coach's suggestion, and then he kisses her, and then

60
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>it becomes a big thing and he doesn't deny it,

61
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 1>and it's just one thing after another, right, and nobody

62
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 1>sort of seems to know how to handle him, except

63
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>his fellow player sort of the I guess, an elder

64
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 1>statesman on the team, even though he still looks very

65
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 1>young but old old in basketball years, I guess, just

66
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>does sort of sits him down and does something that's good.

67
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>But if you can do it from a parenting point

68
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>of view of you know, praising the things that they're

69
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>doing good, right, recognizing that they have a rule, taking

70
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 1>them seriously, and kind of inviting them to step up. Yeah,

71
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you know you can. You can keep on being a

72
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>doing the things you're doing, but you have a responsibility

73
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and you have value and you know you are needed

74
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and straighten him right up. Isn't that nice? Couln't that

75
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 1>be great if that works? Just exactly like that? Yeah?

76
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Where is that guy? Could you license him? So now

77
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>for parenting situations.

78
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's very much like he you know,

79
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 2>he acknowledges like I can see. He can see, yes,

80
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>why Travis is behaving the way that he's behaving, and

81
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>he can actually find the right words to Travis to

82
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 2>see that too.

83
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, which works better than punishment or sweet talking, both

84
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of which were just sleep unsuccessful.

85
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Right.

86
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 1>But it's hard when you're in the emotion of the

87
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 1>moment to think of a way to handle this that

88
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 1>does not involve one of those things. But you know,

89
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>it's something to think about if you're in that situation. Right.

90
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't necessarily work in real life like it does on

91
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 1>TV alas, but wor worth adding to your arsenal at

92
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 1>any rate.

93
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well it's it's like you said, you know there, Yes,

94
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>there's a manual. There are many manuals, and the problem

95
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 2>is figuring out what to take from which one, and

96
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>which one's going to work on your kid. But this

97
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I think his name is his name Marcus, the other player, Yes,

98
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 2>yes it is. You know, he's very he's very savvy,

99
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 2>has figured out he's a student of the game and

100
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the players.

101
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>Yes he is. Woh yeah, yes, so that was impressive.

102
00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Convenient but impressive.

103
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, quite convenient.

104
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 1>It's almost were almost to a half an hour here.

105
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 2>We got to wrap this up.

106
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, one good talk.

107
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Bunny, figure this out. Yeah, and it was. It was

108
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>helpful for Aila that this guy came to her. You know,

109
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 2>she didn't even have to ask him to go do it,

110
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 2>which I don't know if he would have done.

111
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

112
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she just sat back and he showed up.

113
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. They had a conversation before the didn't they.

114
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:36.519
<v Speaker 2>But she well, she tried, but he sent his representative,

115
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 2>didn't he Maybe he sent like a different guy, you know.

116
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, because see he wasn't interested in talking.

117
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think she I think she did try.

118
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yes, no, he came to her to complain that

119
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>he had had to play the whole half of the game.

120
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, but that yeah, yeah, in this I thought

121
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 2>you meant did they talk before this episode? In this episode?

122
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, no, yes, it starts. That's right. You're right

123
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that he sent the representative.

124
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in this episode, it started with him upset because

125
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 2>he had to play the.

126
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Whole It's like, you need him in the game, get

127
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>him in the game, and it worked.

128
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>So he had he had a self interest that he was.

129
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 1>That he was right. That helps also if you have

130
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 1>a self interest. So so again we have the formula

131
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>of ilis screws up and whether it's surfauld or not,

132
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 1>a scrope occurs and then it is by the end

133
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>of the episode heartwarmingly rectified.

134
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 2>That's right, and same with Jackie.

135
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Jackie. You know it starts to learn what to do.

136
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Not perfect, but he's learning what to do. He gets

137
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>rid of the cocaine drawer. It's great.

138
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 2>So he has very good coaching from Yes, from.

139
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Ali, Yes, and he will get there. I'm pretty sure

140
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 1>he's an appealing addition to this crazy group because the

141
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 1>other brothers are so annoying. One sympathetic brother out of

142
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>three four four, one sympathetic brother out of four.

143
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, and you you know, what's the common what's

144
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>the differentiator. He did not grow up with.

145
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.879
<v Speaker 1>Them, that's right. He's actually more sympathetic than she is,

146
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 1>so a sympathetic Gordon. Yeah.

147
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>And then we had an extremely understanding fiance as well.

148
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, I mean he had nothing to worry about because.

149
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>It was, you know, nothing was really going on. Nothing

150
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.159
<v Speaker 2>was her her fault or anything. But still it had

151
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 2>to be hard to listen to all that.

152
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 1>But okay, yeah, yeah, good luck to them. He just

153
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>seems to be there to set up a future story.

154
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.039
<v Speaker 1>You got to check in with him once everybody.

155
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Remembers, Oh yeah this guy, this guy, yeah, part of

156
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.080
<v Speaker 2>that guy. Yeah.

157
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>We shall see where, if anywhere, that goes.

158
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>But that's just Mindy Haling having a role for her.

159
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's fine, he's good. I did see that this

160
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>has been renewed for a second season.

161
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Are we surprised? I mean, when your season is eight episodes,

162
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 2>it's like, you know, it's basically a mini series, like yeah,

163
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>you can, yeah, have another one.

164
00:09:53.879 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah. It's not the same as in the olden

165
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>days of our youth, where seasons were long and you

166
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 1>bitch your nails for months as to whether your favorite

167
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>show is going to come back. Now, it's like there

168
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 1>is handed these things out like popcorn, which is fine.

169
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I guess as long as it's not my money. Okay,

170
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>sure I can watch it or not as I choose.

171
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 1>But this is pretty watchable. Yeah, yeah, I think it's short.

172
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>If nothing else, and you know, it's fine. Doesn't require

173
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.799
<v Speaker 1>you to pay like one hundred percent attention. You can

174
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.320
<v Speaker 1>do other things.

175
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, exactly, and you'll till dogs, you'll laugh here

176
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 2>and there.

177
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, it laughs and there are cringes and you know, yeah,

178
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 1>it's fine, right, it's fine.

179
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Everything endorsement, It is fine.

180
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.279
