Speaker 1: Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and
Speaker 1: I'm Catherine Jileco. As parents and parenting writers, we can't
Speaker 1: help but see everything through a parenting lens. But as
Speaker 1: our kids have become adults, we find ourselves more interested
Speaker 1: in getting caught up on movies and streaming than I'm
Speaker 1: going over the same parenting topics over and over.
Speaker 2: So since we're pretty sure we can find parenting wisdom anywhere,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about what we're watching, what we
Speaker 2: thought about it, and maybe what we can learn from it,
Speaker 2: if only what not to do. Watch and listen along,
Speaker 2: and let's all make like we're doing something important for
Speaker 2: our families. Each Wednesday we bring you our thoughts on
Speaker 2: a newer entertainment property, and for this week of March thirty, first,
Speaker 2: we're continuing with Running Point on Netflix with episode two
Speaker 2: called Joe Peschi.
Speaker 1: Which did not feature Joe Pesche in it. I thought
Speaker 1: maybe he was going to show up. I thought this
Speaker 1: was going to be the titling convention of the show,
Speaker 1: as they would have a guest star every week and
Speaker 1: that they would get the name of the episode. But no, yes,
Speaker 1: it's just referencing his performance in Casino, which I also
Speaker 1: have not seen, and a way of being rough in
Speaker 1: your dealings with a tough negotiator, right, being a tough
Speaker 1: negotiator threatening people.
Speaker 2: Yes, I also thought that that maybe he would show up,
Speaker 2: like I thought that it was going to be guest
Speaker 2: stars too, But no.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Joe Pashi, that's a pretty big guest star
Speaker 1: for the first time. Good for them.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, we could have looked at the title of
Speaker 2: the next one and realized that wasn't going to continue.
Speaker 2: But oh well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just like looking at one episode. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't except unlost when we will go on Lost PDIA
Speaker 1: and just sort of look at everything.
Speaker 2: No, yes, so so yes we had, you know, continuing
Speaker 2: adventures of Aila seeming like a dummy and then pulling
Speaker 2: out some major scheme because she's looking at things in
Speaker 2: new ways, you know, because she's she's not the old
Speaker 2: you know, boys club. She's she's like, hey, women watch basketball,
Speaker 2: get get this. Women are fans, So women, little girl,
Speaker 2: they don't just go to Sephora, They actually watch.
Speaker 1: Do you go to Sephora? Sephora is a thing that
Speaker 1: I sort of don't get.
Speaker 2: No, I don't really, I mean I just don't go
Speaker 2: to them, go to the mall period. But yes, my
Speaker 2: daughter would go for sure. And now that actually Sephora's
Speaker 2: inside of Coles once Anile, that's where I see it most.
Speaker 2: I will scares me a little bit, possibly stop by
Speaker 2: if I happen to be at Cohle's and I happen
Speaker 2: to feel like I need something from that area, which
Speaker 2: is rare. But yes, I mean I've been there.
Speaker 1: Is it just makeup or is it skincare as well with.
Speaker 2: Skincare too, Okay? Yeah, like girls various potions and serums
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I neither wear makeup nor use serums, so I just
Speaker 1: sort of walk by front of the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say that most of the stuff that
Speaker 2: I end up buying in that arena is because I've
Speaker 2: edited some article on you know, the ten best eyelash
Speaker 2: primers and the sixteen best hyaluronic acid serums and all
Speaker 2: that stuff.
Speaker 1: See, those things just make me want to never go.
Speaker 1: I am so far from needing an eyelash that it's
Speaker 1: like I feel like a guy probably feels like walk
Speaker 1: in front of before I go all this stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't want to know.
Speaker 2: It's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it just griefs me out a little. But
Speaker 1: good good, UH interesting product placement for them to be
Speaker 1: on this show and UH basketball team sponsored by UH
Speaker 1: women's cosmetic products an interesting you know, possibly better than
Speaker 1: beds mattresses.
Speaker 2: Exactly. But I didn't think she needed to, you know,
Speaker 2: go postal on the mattress mascot in the guy's office.
Speaker 2: That seemed a little got massive. Leave Marty the mattress out.
Speaker 1: Of it or whatever. Yes, I were attacking her family.
Speaker 1: I don't know most of her family could deserve to
Speaker 1: be attacked. And she's not always the sharpest knife in
Speaker 1: the drawer either, so she has we find out now
Speaker 1: that she has a fiance. Oh did I forget to
Speaker 1: mention him?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes you did.
Speaker 1: You did forget. I knew that Max Greenfield was on
Speaker 1: this show, but I had forgotten him until he.
Speaker 2: So, hey, man, there.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna get much screen. Enjoy yourself.
Speaker 2: I was reading a little something about this about this show,
Speaker 2: and they were very frustrated with like why did they
Speaker 2: always make her into such a klutz, Like, you know,
Speaker 2: Kate Hudson's good at the physical comedy and whatever, but
Speaker 2: like two out of two episodes she's either you know,
Speaker 2: been knocked down, fallen over, hurt herself in some way.
Speaker 2: And you know this is not we don't need it,
Speaker 2: you know, like.
Speaker 1: No, it's like they have to make her they have
Speaker 1: to make her a buffoon, yeah, even though they also
Speaker 1: want to make her the smartest person. And why couldn't
Speaker 1: she just be that? I guess it's just the kind
Speaker 1: of humor they're going for a little bit broad, broad
Speaker 1: in both senses. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yes, I get it.
Speaker 1: It's she has a stunt double that she likes to
Speaker 1: keep employing. Says, you gotta you gotta give me at
Speaker 1: least one spectacular physical disaster each episode so that my my,
Speaker 1: uh my stunt double hair can get a paycheck. Write
Speaker 1: it in. So that's fine, that's that's the kind of
Speaker 1: coming together as a family.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not gonna just take the payout and away, huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is because take the take the pay out
Speaker 1: and go away, you're out of the show. You know,
Speaker 1: find a way to stick around and you get full
Speaker 1: how many episodes? Right, Yes, we certainly knew that was
Speaker 1: character and that actor.
Speaker 2: We certainly knew that was coming. Right, that the brother
Speaker 2: the surprise half younger brother would.
Speaker 1: Get described as shrapnel from the d by one of
Speaker 1: the brothers.
Speaker 2: Yes, that he would be invited to go away for
Speaker 2: the sum of two million dollars and then he would
Speaker 2: he would not do it because he wants a family.
Speaker 1: He wants a family.
Speaker 2: I don't know you could buy yourself a family for
Speaker 2: two million bucks.
Speaker 1: You really could. Although I think his his cousin's taking
Speaker 1: a cut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did feel bad for her. She's like, but
Speaker 2: I already bought a car. I thought I was.
Speaker 1: You should still get some money as a member of
Speaker 1: the family. Maybe he's just going to get to you
Speaker 1: can't keep working in the concession stand now that he's
Speaker 1: been busted on TV.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I think we can assume that Iola will
Speaker 2: find something for him to.
Speaker 1: Do, and she should because then there will be a
Speaker 1: family member who is loyal to right and she could
Speaker 1: use y.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, because.
Speaker 1: Gam is just dealing with his own thing and the
Speaker 1: other two are weasels.
Speaker 2: So also, Cam like he's in rehab, right, but he
Speaker 2: keeps coming out for these meetings Like That's not how
Speaker 2: rehab works, is it?
Speaker 1: And I think that's how it works.
Speaker 2: If you recall from brothers and sisters where Justin was
Speaker 2: in probably the same rehab facility that yeah, that Cam
Speaker 2: is in.
Speaker 1: He had to stay, yeah he did. They had to
Speaker 1: come to him, which they did one time here. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I you know, the lack of complete versimilitude in this
Speaker 1: just takes you right out of it.
Speaker 2: Yes, Brenda Song continues to be wonderful.
Speaker 1: I think, yes, yes, she is very good in this
Speaker 1: and it's enjoyable to stall hear her cursing and see
Speaker 1: her standing up for her boss. And I was going
Speaker 1: to bring up the last time and I forgot that
Speaker 1: she is now I'm unclear to me whether she's married to,
Speaker 1: but definitely partnered with macaulay culture. So all your all
Speaker 1: your child's uh you know, actor friends from the old days,
Speaker 1: all those memories come together, London, Tipton and the kid
Speaker 1: from Home alone. Yeah, it's fairly delightful.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think do they have kids?
Speaker 1: I think they have two. I think they have two kids.
Speaker 1: I keep looking it up online and different sources say
Speaker 1: different things. So IMDP doesn't have them married, but actually
Speaker 1: I think her IMDb page doesn't, but his does or
Speaker 1: something like that. I looked at Wikipedia. That's just unclear
Speaker 1: but they definitely do have children together, and there was
Speaker 1: some promotional stuff for running Point that had her answering
Speaker 1: questions about him. So they're definitely a couple. However that
Speaker 1: in this modern day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, according to People magazine they have two kids. Well
Speaker 2: there's even a picture of one of them. He looks
Speaker 2: like a perfect mix of the two of them. But yeah, unclear. Oh.
Speaker 2: In September twenty twenty two, she opened up to people
Speaker 2: about her I think planning process.
Speaker 1: Yes, they're engaged, being engaged, but they as of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. It is now twenty twenty five. Presumably something
Speaker 1: would have happened. But anyway, you kids, you do you whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, as long as you seem to be
Speaker 1: a happy couple and parenting together. So you know, it's adorable,
Speaker 1: But so what can we learn about parenting from it? Yikes,
Speaker 1: don't have a secret child to one another. Yeah, don't
Speaker 1: have a secret child for sure, if you do introduce
Speaker 1: them earlier than long after your death, when the siblings
Speaker 1: are all miserable adults and not likely to welcome a
Speaker 1: newcomer to the ranks. And also, siblings will sabotage each
Speaker 1: other in big ways like this, and in small ways, yes,
Speaker 1: like you're dealing with now with your children, right, and
Speaker 1: it is annoying and often, you know, borderline heartbreaking to
Speaker 1: see them ganging upon each other. But it's still it's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's normal a little pass. Weren't you saying
Speaker 1: that when you were growing up, it's like three kids,
Speaker 1: two are only going to be against one of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we definitely like and we do get
Speaker 2: along really well now, But for sure, it was like
Speaker 2: you would either have the two older ones against the
Speaker 2: younger one, or the two younger ones against the older one,
Speaker 2: or the two girls against the boy, or you know,
Speaker 2: there was always all these permutations. Definitely that could Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I mean, now there's five of these of these siblings,
Speaker 2: but there were three from the first marriage, it seems like,
Speaker 2: then one from the second and one from the affair.
Speaker 2: So yeah, right, maybe there's more.
Speaker 1: Who knows that's true if they keep going and every
Speaker 1: single brings.
Speaker 2: Out a neighbors.
Speaker 1: Oh dear, it doesn't sound like the like, given what
Speaker 1: we know about their father, that that's unlikely. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: exactly they're gonna hear Oh wait, somebody can come out
Speaker 1: of the woodwork. And claim a spot in that family.
Speaker 2: See how I can get it on this business? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And uh. And you know you want to as a parent,
Speaker 1: live your life in such a way that after you
Speaker 1: are gone there will be no shrapnel.
Speaker 2: Yikes.
Speaker 1: Try to be out in the open with what you
Speaker 1: do and don't do things that you wouldn't want your
Speaker 1: kids to find like, you know, however many years later
Speaker 1: that they have a sibling, or that they have a
Speaker 1: family or you know, don't do that. Sure, keep it,
Speaker 1: keep it up front and all and trying to. I
Speaker 1: don't think I have any I had a very boring life.
Speaker 1: I have a few old boyfriends that I've talked about
Speaker 1: and nobody is interested. Yes, and I don't think I
Speaker 1: don't think my husband has either. But you know there's
Speaker 1: family secrets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you never know.
Speaker 1: You never know best to get them out early when
Speaker 1: they're not that interesting. You want to teach your kids
Speaker 1: to not discouraged my setbacks, to just keep going.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: You know, one thing goes wrong, you don't want to
Speaker 1: back out. You want to pick yourself up, dust yourself off,
Speaker 1: go to Sephora, get inspired, Yeah, and move on.
Speaker 2: From there and do it better than it was.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I mean she when Ila, when they lose the one sponsor,
Speaker 2: she gets the new one and she gets a better
Speaker 2: deal out of it, which is similar to what she
Speaker 2: did with the trade. So is she going to keep
Speaker 2: pulling this out of her but every single week? I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: But this is what we tell our kids all the time,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, this didn't work out for you, but
Speaker 1: there's something new. Yes, we're going to find the better
Speaker 1: things and then you're going to do better at that
Speaker 1: and you'll be so happy that this thing that you're
Speaker 1: now crying about didn't work out. Even though we as
Speaker 1: we're saying this, we go, Man, I'm.
Speaker 2: Not trying to lie to my kid right now.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 2: I can't be here.
Speaker 1: This is what you say, and then you just start
Speaker 1: looking around for what that thing is going to be
Speaker 1: here here, look at this. Fortunately, most of our kids
Speaker 1: are not succeeding and failing in as public a situation
Speaker 1: as this one. Yes, that's something to be happy about.
Speaker 1: Well it won't be on the news.
Speaker 2: So next Wednesday day we will continue with season one,
Speaker 2: episode three, the Travis Bug Affair. That's Travis Bug is
Speaker 2: the Chet Hanks basketball player. We saw nothing of the
Speaker 2: players this time.
Speaker 1: I have enjoyed not seeing them. Also, I should say,
Speaker 1: following up on last week, based on photos online, it
Speaker 1: appears that those are his actual tattoos.
Speaker 2: Ah. Interesting shoot, okay.
Speaker 1: Unless all the photos were from this show, which it's
Speaker 1: possible that yeah, I guess appears that he is in
Speaker 1: fact inked right.
