As parents and parenting writers, we can't 3 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.880 help but see everything through a parenting lens. But as 4 00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.079 our kids have become adults, we find ourselves more interested 5 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.359 in getting caught up on movies and streaming than I'm 6 00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:22.800 going over the same parenting topics over and over. 7 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.920 So, since we're pretty sure we can find parenting wisdom anywhere, 8 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.559 we're going to talk about what we're watching, what we 9 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.200 thought about it, and maybe what we can learn from it, 10 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.759 if only what not to do. Watch and listen along, 11 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.399 and let's all make like we're doing something important for 12 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:39.320 our families. 13 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.200 Each Tuesday we bring you a watch or rewatch of 14 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.640 an older entertainment property, And for this week of October eighth, 15 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:53.759 we are continuing with Lost, Season one, episode fourteen special. 16 00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.439 What a sad episode this was? Yeah, young Walt, you 17 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.439 have not been the recipient of good parenting from anybody, 18 00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.680 No wonder your following lock around like a little lap 19 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.200 dog and throwing knives at trees. 20 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:19.560 Just man?

He thought somebody else was 26 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.480 his father, who he's now lost. 27 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:40.359 Also because it wanted him on the first. 28 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.920 At least doesn't want him once he realized he's creepy. Yes, 29 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.799 but I mean, Michael was kind and didn't tell Walt 30 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.280 that guy you think is your father doesn't want you, 31 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.400 so you're stuck with me. He gave him an out, 32 00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.640 which he totally did not deserve. Made himself the bad guy, right, 33 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.040 But at least he stole the guy's dog. That's the 34 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.799 least of what that dude deserves. 35 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.520 He said, you could have the dog. Also, I know 36 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.319 that this is you know that we need to look 37 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.759 past these things. But he shows up in New York 38 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:24.439 and he says, Susan died yesterday. Yes. Now, it takes 39 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.560 a very long time. 40 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.360 Even if you don't crash land on an island, it 41 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:30.960 takes a while. 42 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.800 It takes a while. Like did he just like flee 43 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.639 from the hospital room and just directly to the airport. 44 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.560 Why would he not have Well, I guess he doesn't 45 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.199 want to take Walt with him because Walt's weird, and 46 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.840 maybe you would crash the plane as he did. 47 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.599 Yeah, yep, yep, but yeah, yeah, he should have just 48 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.680 takenim out and been like, hey, dude, we're going on 49 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:51.159 a trip. 50 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.919 See you never Yeah, but then we wouldn't have met 51 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.439 the smartest nanny in the business who sees all the 52 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:07.719 letters in a box, clocks that and then handsome to Michael. Wow, 53 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.360 give that lady a tip. She did not have to 54 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.159 do that or to know that. And she just looked 55 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.039 like it's been bothering her for years and now now 56 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.960 I'm gonna give it to him deadly. 57 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.639 And maybe she was like, hey, you should take the dog. 58 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:27.960 That's right. 59 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.400 Maybe I'm gonna give her credit for that. That's excellent. 60 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.879 He really loves that dog. She'll take it with him. 61 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:43.479 I don't think that she is a fan of the stepdad, Yeah, 62 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.840 nor the mother if the mother was one not giving 63 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:46.800 the kid the letters. 64 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.280 Yeah, so I'm. 65 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.280 Just I'm just writing a whole plot line for that nanny. 66 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.719 But she's done a great deal of satisfaction in turn 67 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:02.879 over those letters. Yes, I also slipped something into your 68 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.400 food so you die of a blood disorder. 69 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:13.280 But yeah, but oh, Walt, Walt, He's special. 70 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.839 Manifestation of things, birds and polar bears and all sorts 71 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.560 of who knows what right, and the comic book and 72 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.600 a book about a plane crash when he was on 73 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:23.040 the plane. 74 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:24.240 Yeah, maybe he was. 75 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.279 Yeah, but I mean they could they have focused on 76 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.800 the polar bear on the burning comic book any longer. 77 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.360 I did notice it before it was burning, you know. 78 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.519 And I'm pretty sure there was a hatch of some 79 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:44.079 kind in that comic book, yes, yes, And I actually 80 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:45.800 I thought we were done with bolar bear. I thought 81 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.480 that was just a one time thing. But apparently not. 82 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.199 Either it wasn't killed the last time, or or there's 83 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.839 more than one, or Walt just made this one appear. 84 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.959 Yeah. Well, also I don't think they killed it this 85 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.360 time either, because it just kind of away, like probably 86 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.079 real mad and bleeding. 87 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.560 Yeah yeah, but apparently did not come upon Clara.

Yep, 291 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.559 we put you in the bad stepdad Hall of Fame 292 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:12.440 along with the bad dads. We've had sister mom either here. 293 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.359 So I think we're gonna we got bad dads, bad sisters, 294 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.240 bad mothers, bad stepdads. 295 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.240 Step step mother to like Boone's mom. 296 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.839 Yes, was step mom to Shannon right right, So I 297 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.119 guess we have two bad stepdads or was she is? 298 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.759 I think it was the mom. 299 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.640 Well yeah, but also but whoever the step whoever Shannon's 300 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:40.279 somebody was bad to boon to. Yeah, yeah, I think 301 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.319 I think there was badness all around, just just all 302 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.559 of them. Yes, this show is a very bad show 303 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.160 to take parenting gifts from. 304 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:52.759 It's mostly don't do that. 305 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:55.799 Oh my gosh, don't do that do it? 306 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.880 Yes, well that's what we're learning. 307 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.880 Yeah, yeah, nothing good can come of all these things 308 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:10.920 you're doing. People, Just do your job. I think again, 309 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.920 as with Claire, Michael could use a parent But we've 310 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:16.839 said this before that Michael needs a parenting book. 311 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.240 You need a parenting book. 312 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:23.039 We need a you know, baby parenting book for Claire. 313 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.880 We need a ten year old parenting book for Michael. 314 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:31.279 At the time this came out, surely, I say again, 315 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.680 surely there was somebody on that airplane who was reading 316 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.400 a parenting book. 317 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.920 Somebody's luggage and all that luggage that they've been spending 318 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.640 all these weeks sorting and looking through. 319 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.880 Some poor mom was taking this flight to read about 320 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:53.440 what to do about her horrible child. Honestly, I have 321 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.480 myself possibly read parenting books on an airplane. Come on, 322 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.519 they're there, They're somewhere. Maybe there's a case full. 323 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:01.079 Of them someplace. 324 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:04.400 Yeah, maybe Walt can think real hard and make. 325 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.359 One appear exactly. I bet he could think. 326 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.000 Of all the things you would like your father to know, 327 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.480 and then, you know, imagine it in a book. Because 328 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.559 it's clear that Michael has no clue whatsoever how. 329 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.640 To be a father. Although he did have, there hasn't 330 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.480 been he had the presence to number one lie about 331 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:27.079 Brian to protect Walt's feelings, and number two total Brian Stuck. 332 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.599 Yes, that's true, and I wish there had been some 333 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:35.519 way to spare Walt's feelings without giving that bleep cover 334 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.960 and making himself look like the bad guy. I am 335 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:40.880 the one who is taking you from this father, the 336 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.279 only father you've ever known, right, and now I am 337 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:48.079 your father now. But he could have just said he 338 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.279 fell out a window and we're very sorry. Yeah, he 339 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:52.599 also had a blood disorder. 340 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.839 Right. Turns out they were a match made in heaven, 341 00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.680 question mark. Yep, he was. 342 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:02.559 You know, he's going back to the airport and he 343 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:04.599 stepped out into traffic and boa boom. 344 00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:06.839 He wasn't as lucky as I was. 345 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.279 Yeah, because kid's never going to go Well, I guess 346 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:10.680 you wouldn't know that the kid's never going to go 347 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.440 back to Australia at that time. But still that was 348 00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:15.920 very noble of him to do, but had the side 349 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.599 effect of making Walt kind of hate him. Yeah, instead 350 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.680 of the person who should rightly be hated. We mentioned 351 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:25.880 how terrible that guy was. 352 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.960 Maybe achieved man. 353 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:34.359 Yes, Oh well, now we have the cliffhanger of Claire 354 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:39.119 being there. Yes, next week we shall see what she's 355 00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:42.920 been doing. What kind of shape she's in right, and 356 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:44.119 how ticked she. 357 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.680 Is, and if she's still pregnant beleeping nobody came to 358 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.960 find you? Yes, and if she's still pregnant, because that 359 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.920 was definitely obscured at this Yes, it was at this. 360 00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:01.039 Juncture to make us wonder. As the week goes by, 361 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:06.279 ulus we go on lost Apedia find it. You know, 362 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.000 I don't know read the description for. 363 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.279 The next episode. That would be wrong. I'm not doing it. 364 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:13.720 Well, you've never seen it before. 365 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:16.559 I could just be refreshing right for you. You've seen it so. 366 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.720 Though. Interestingly this episode, when it was over, both my 367 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.039 husband and I turned to each other and said, I 368 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.119 have no memory of ever. 369 00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:28.319 Watching that episode. 370 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:33.279 I don't remember any of those plot points at all. Really, yeah, 371 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:33.960 it just. 372 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:36.240 Did you remember that Claire came back? 373 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.119 I didn't remember. I mean, I knew that she at 374 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:39.920 some point came back. 375 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:41.519 I didn't remember it. This episode. 376 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.680 Just we have no Maybe maybe we missed it somehow, 377 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:47.519 maybe we were doing something that week. 378 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.160 Yeah, because if you did, then you wouldn't necessarily get 379 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:51.720 the chance. 380 00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:55.119 I knew generally some of the plot points, but I 381 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:56.000 didn't remember. 382 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.319 You probably read it father, you read a recap instead 383 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:00.079 of actually. 384 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.880 Yeah, I didn't remember the whole drama of why he 385 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:07.720 took Walt back other than I just assumed his mom died. 386 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.559 And so it's like, because we talked a few weeks 387 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.880 ago about why didn't Brian just adopt him, Well Brian 388 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.319 did adopt him and then so I did not remember 389 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:20.440 any of this at all. Okay, I did remember Walt 390 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:25.640 being special, but not from this episode, from an episode 391 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:32.240 that's coming up. Okay, So anyway made a real impression 392 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.039 on me at the time, on both of us. So 393 00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:38.279 maybe we really just never saw it. Yeah, that could 394 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.680 be back in the day when if you missed an 395 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.640 episode of TV, you just kind of missed an episode 396 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:51.519 of TV and it was fine. Oh well, so next 397 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.519 Tuesday we will continue with season one, episode fifteen of 398 00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:58.799 Lost home Coming. 399 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.319 Is there going to be a parade? 400 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.640 I assumed that this would be a clear flashback episode, 401 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:07.200
