00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.879
Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and
2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.800
I'm Catherine hileco. As parents and parenting writers, we can't
3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.839
help but see everything through a parenting lens. But as
4
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.079
our kids have become adults, we find ourselves more interested
5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.320
in getting caught up on movies and streaming. Then I'm
6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.760
going over the same parenting topics over and over.
7
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.879
So since we're pretty sure we can find parenting wisdom anywhere,
8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.559
we're going to talk about what we're watching, what we
9
00:00:29.600 --> 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
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.359
and let's all make like we're doing something important for
12
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.079
our families. Each Wednesday we bring you our thoughts on
13
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.159
a newer entertainment property, and for this week of June ninth,
14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.520
we're continuing with Duster. Episode three, You're No Good or
15
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:57.079
You're No Good? You're no good? Yes, in which what's
16
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.960
his name? Jim? I can't it's hard for me to remember,
17
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:00.679
you know.
18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.560
Brian Grubb wrote about this and mentioned that while Duster
19
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.680
refers to his car, it's really hard not to think
20
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.000
it's the nickname for him, and I do think him
21
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.079
is Duster yeah.
22
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.319
Yes, so in this one, he's his feelings about his
23
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:22.519
employer are swinging wildly from the from a point A
24
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.159
to point B, you know, from good guy to bad
25
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.599
guy to I don't know to I hope not, but
26
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.799
now I kind of have to believe this.
27
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.280
So yeah, it makes me wonder whether Sex was doing
28
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.519
that on purpose, like he knows that there's something going
29
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.319
on and so he's just messing with him. Yeah, probably not,
30
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.400
but if he was, that would be a real clever
31
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.480
way to twist my knife.
32
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.959
Yeah, I mean, being all sweet about his brother and.
33
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.319
Him and yeah, yeah, just conveniently dropping the name of
34
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.480
the C four person out of the blue for no
35
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:02.319
real reason.
36
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.400
Yeah. And you know, there's this whole thing where they
37
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.879
pull up to this you know, divy bar, and I
38
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.080
feel like it was Saxon's idea, like, oh, let's stop here,
39
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.520
and he was very much not welcome there, and they
40
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.439
have to like basically beat up everyone in the entire place.
41
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.960
The two of them, which of course they do it efficiently.
42
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.719
Yes, but you know, was that like a test of
43
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.879
let me see if Jim's gonna, yeah, take care of
44
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.759
me in this situation? I don't know.
45
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.439
Yeah, it's It's hard to tell at this point to
46
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.199
what degree he is an omniscient bad guy, yeah, or
47
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.840
if he's just a guy who's bad and you know,
48
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.439
it would be sort of satisfying if he really didn't
49
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.199
know and he was just just messing with him. But
50
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:54.319
probably not.
51
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.240
I mean, he didn't he didn't know that Jim tampered
52
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.360
with his usual car so that he would be forced
53
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.039
to get a ride from Jim.
54
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.120
Right, he didn't know it. Although didn't Jim just do
55
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:16.120
it out in plain daylight on the street? Yes? So
56
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.599
are we sure he didn't know? I'm like a lot
57
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.240
of people do things in this show that I feel
58
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.280
should be done in dark corners and you know, out
59
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.520
of the way places, and they're just walking down the
60
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.960
street saying, so what about this guy? Do we think
61
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.240
he killed somebody? Look at this evidence I found. Let
62
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.080
me spread it out here on the middle of the table.
63
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.960
This is true. I just come on, you guys, sneak
64
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.719
around a little bit so well, I mean, I think
65
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.879
it would be plausible if we're supposed to think that
66
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.120
this Sas is just a super brilliant villain, that he
67
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.240
would be able to pick up on the stupid way
68
00:03:52.639 --> 00:04:01.479
Ye if it's going going about this but possibly not, well,
69
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.639
it seems like a stretch.
70
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.719
Yeah. And then when you had Nina and Awan basically
71
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.840
you know, breaking into the institution where the former agent
72
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.879
was being held, and yeah, she puts on a nurse's uniform,
73
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.839
but she still got her like black knee high boots on.
74
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.600
And also like they ran out of there because they
75
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:33.319
basically got busted, like well all their clothes, yes, are
76
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.240
still back in that dressing room. Did are they going
77
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.759
to go back to the janitor guy and be like, hey,
78
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.959
can you just please go in there and get her stuff?
79
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.920
Also, did they like does she have a purse? I know,
80
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.600
do they have like personal effects? And what happened to
81
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:50.759
the Superman wallet?
82
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.600
I was worried about the Superman wallet?
83
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.480
Really they were. I don't know what the deal is about.
84
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.519
Why that guy only had three mentions in IMDb three episodes? Yeah,
85
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.519
because it sure seemed all through this episode that they
86
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.480
were gonna kill him off. They were just I was
87
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.759
just rod cat, I mean, flashing lights all over the place.
88
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.399
Every time they separated. I thought, no, no, stay with her,
89
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.800
she's the lead. She's gonna be safe. And you know,
90
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.279
his whole Superman speech and all this stuff. He's gonna
91
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:29.279
be just and then nothing happened. It was fine. So
92
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.800
he gets hit by a car in between episodes or what.
93
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.839
Hopefully they write him off in some nice way. I
94
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.839
don't know. Yes, he's getting a big promotion to some
95
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.519
other office.
96
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.560
Or or being on that little caper with her and
97
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.279
made him realize he didn't want to do this for
98
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.040
a living. The stuff is stupid, right, So yeah, I
99
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.600
don't know if it's just I know, I've noticed sometimes
100
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.000
with these streaming shows that drop episodes on a schedule,
101
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.240
sometimes IMDb doesn't care catch up with who ye, So
102
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.279
it may just be that, although I noticed there's a
103
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.639
lot of people that have more than three episodes listed,
104
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.279
so they just wanted to play with us. Do you
105
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.879
think you can learn things from Miamdb? Do you? Hah?
106
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.519
I enjoy this. You're gonna be worried about him every minute, right,
107
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.600
but because he's so sweet, he really is, he's too
108
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.839
he's too sweet too?
109
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:24.079
Yeah?
110
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:30.439
Really should uh you know, find something safer? Yes, but yeah,
111
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.079
the whole hospital thing was annoying in so many ways
112
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.800
and unlikely, but uh, okay, get your little plot in there,
113
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.839
and what did we learn in that really nothing? He
114
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.439
is super super nuts.
115
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:51.000
Yeah, and we're to assume that not even usefully nuts. Yeah,
116
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.800
and we're supposed to think that it was Sacks who
117
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.279
caused this, right.
118
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:58.160
I guess.
119
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.360
But why is his wife seemingly kind of cool, like
120
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.079
she's just like she's already in someone's pocket. Right, but
121
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.399
she's like, yes, oh you don't, you don't need to
122
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.680
ask that question or whatever. I mean, she's not just like,
123
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.279
oh my husband, he's very silly. Yeah.
124
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.800
Yeah, so yeah, she was all but twisting her mustache
125
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:29.519
and she had on. Yes, yes, this had had more
126
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.759
suspense than I enjoy in a TV show. I don't
127
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.920
want to think characters I like Arian Now, I know
128
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.480
lost there's danger all over the place, but it's it's
129
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:43.560
weird danger.
130
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.040
I don't know, it's somewhat it's absurd.
131
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:52.639
Yes, this is just if you go into this place
132
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.439
and you get caught, you're gonna be in big trouble
133
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.079
and possibly since there's I don't know, Yeah, I guess
134
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.879
bad guys stuff I don't like. But anyway, it was fine.
135
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.319
It all turned out okay, everybody was fine and they
136
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.040
got you're no good and there at the end.
137
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:12.079
Right, we got another little scene of Jim's father and
138
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.279
horrible stepmother.
139
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.759
Speaking of scenes I didn't need to see. Yeah, children,
140
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.600
this is why you call before you visit your parents, Okay,
141
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.600
which nobody wants to see that. Nobody wants to even
142
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:26.600
think about it.
143
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.639
They have established this on a previous episode. Jim, you
144
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.519
need to call before you stop over. Get your father's
145
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.840
burglary tools or whatever, maybe something else.
146
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.159
After he cleans his eyes off with bleach, he'll know
147
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.240
not to do that anymore. Yeah.
148
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.039
No, he wasn't looking for burglary tools. He was looking
149
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.159
for the name of the Sea Fours this time.
150
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.720
Yes, apparently only one.
151
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:57.440
Yeah, well has a corner on the market. Apparently, I guess.
152
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.360
And remember remembers the name of the person that her
153
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.960
explosives were used to kill.
154
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:11.480
That was so bogus, I mean that that worked. It
155
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.559
was so stupid. Yes, how many years ago was this
156
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.440
supposed to have been?
157
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.840
Maybe it's not that many, I guess.
158
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.440
Maybe, I guess, but she didn't need to have to
159
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.679
like look it up on the database or anything, so
160
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.480
I guess. Not a lot of C four moving in
161
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.799
the area, so she remembers all the hits it's just stupid.
162
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.159
It just unless it's all a setup, right and Sax
163
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.559
is pulling all the strings of this as well, right
164
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:44.799
and possible. Yeah, I don't know, we'll find out. They
165
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.600
just better not. They better not kill that kid, that
166
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.159
little cute little left the eye agent. They just better
167
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.480
not kill him. Yeah, he needs to, he needs to
168
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.679
survive this. I don't care. He can leave the bureau.
169
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.559
Maybe he and uh Greg Grunberg's wife can run away someplace.
170
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:08.320
But yeah, that was pretty silly. Like my wife says,
171
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.000
I have to keep you around, is his reasoning for
172
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.200
allowing Nina to keep doing what she's doing. Well, my
173
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:19.799
wife's loud about you. Now I'm stuck with you really well.
174
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:25.000
You know parenting tips, Sometimes your kid asks you to
175
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.559
do something and you do it for them. You know,
176
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.559
sometimes you just have to listen to what they're saying
177
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.919
and do it out of respect and out of love.
178
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:38.200
And I just hope that things were out for the best. Yes,
179
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:44.600
we also learn for a parenting tip is to befriend
180
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.000
people like cleaning people and others who can sneak you
181
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.799
in and out of places. Yes, you know, be nice
182
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.320
to the waitress so that when your kids starts crying.
183
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.159
They will help you. They will get you the bill
184
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.240
super fast and get you out of there. You know,
185
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.840
be nice to the pair of professionals at your school
186
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.679
if your child has a pair professional, because they will
187
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.440
tell you things. You know. The people, the people deeply
188
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.440
in rooted in the system will not. But the people
189
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.960
who are just there, you know, yeah, and will.
190
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.840
It's about, you know, seeing the people who are otherwise invisible.
191
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:26.919
Exactly. Yes, bus driver of your kid's special ed bus
192
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.120
chatter up. Yes, that was good, you know, the sort
193
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:40.559
of insight that an outsider. Yes, the little thing with
194
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.440
a wan and his wallet made me think. Respect your
195
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.360
kids' obsessions. Yes, you know you may think, well this
196
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.840
is silly, but if it means something to them, it's
197
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:58.879
going to motivate them. Right. And also, everybody's got something
198
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.200
they dig. You don't want people laughing at yours, so
199
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.799
don't laugh at theirs. Yeah, you know, let them unless
200
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:11.879
it's something like you know, dangerous or toxic, right, who cares?
201
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:17.519
I remember, you know, teacher telling me that keys were
202
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.440
poisoned to my son and I had to take them away.
203
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.960
And it's like no, no, no, that's ridiculous. He talked
204
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.879
because of them. He didn't he can be bribed because
205
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.240
of them. It's like stop. So Also the freebie car magazines.
206
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.879
I keep trying to tell the teachers at school, pick
207
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.799
up a bunch of them when you go to the supermarket,
208
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.320
and then anytime you need to bribe them, give them one.
209
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.399
They would not do it. But this is the kind
210
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.360
of thing that we do if you're smart. So the
211
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.919
Superman wallet makes him feel strong, go with him.
212
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.000
Yeah, totally.
213
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.080
Also a parenting tip learned through the way that various
214
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.679
authorities were trying to talk Nina out of pursuing the cases.
215
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.559
She's pursuing it, and it just made her want to
216
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:05.519
do it more. Same thing with kids, you know, and
217
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.000
you tell them you certainly you must not do that,
218
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.399
it's just going to make them want to do it more. So. Yeah,
219
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.879
maybe some reverse psychology. Oh yeah, that that case is
220
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.840
really pretty much nothing. But sweetie, if you want to
221
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.919
go for it, you just go for it. We'll uh,
222
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:18.919
you know, we'll just be waiting.
223
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:19.679
We'll find something.
224
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.759
Had her on the head, you know, sure, that'll be
225
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.720
a good little thing to occupy you. It wouldn't matter
226
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.519
because she's you know, yeah, she has she has you know,
227
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.399
you have to be careful because sometimes the more vehemently
228
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.240
you forbid something, the more interesting you make it. Oh
229
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.720
absolutely yeah, that's that is absolutely the case here. Every
230
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.720
time somebody tells her she better not, she realizes that
231
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.919
the schedule one's deeper than I need.
232
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.759
Yes, yes, absolutely bad.
233
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.000
Bad strategy, you guys, the old white man strategy.
234
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.360
And also I can't remember if it was in this episode.
235
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.480
I think so that she was talking to her mom again, like,
236
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.360
is her mom just gonna be a voice on the phone.
237
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.320
Are we ever gonna do we even hear the voice
238
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:11.840
or what? Yeah?
239
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:13.120
Yeah, I think we do.
240
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.279
But yeah, you would think she would say, what you're
241
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.559
doing sounds really dangerous. Why don't you just come home.
242
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:20.879
We'll find you a nice job here.
243
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.440
No, I think she's mom wants her Yeah, that she was.
244
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.320
She was saying, yeah, everybody was shutting me down to
245
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.440
when I was trying to look into it. So, so
246
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.200
mom is all for it. You go get yourself killed, honey,
247
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:38.120
just to find out who did this to your daddy. Yeah,
248
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:43.840
as long as you prove that, it'll be fine. So yeah, yikes.
249
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:53.559
Yeah, So next Wednesday, we'll continue with Duster's episode four
250
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.759
to consult the show notes for the title of this episode,
251
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:02.679
because for some reason, h Max is very stingy with
252
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:09.080
this information. Yeah, it's only going to be discovered if
253
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.440
you break into a mental institution.
254
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.320
I has asked them to conceal us. Yes, you're on
255
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.679
a need to know basis exactly.
256
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.600
So Yeah, that'll be next Wednesday, and we'll see you
257
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.200

1
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.879
Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and
2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.800
I'm Catherine hileco. As parents and parenting writers, we can't
3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.839
help but see everything through a parenting lens. But as
4
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.079
our kids have become adults, we find ourselves more interested
5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.320
in getting caught up on movies and streaming. Then I'm
6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.760
going over the same parenting topics over and over.
7
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.879
So since we're pretty sure we can find parenting wisdom anywhere,
8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.559
we're going to talk about what we're watching, what we
9
00:00:29.600 --> 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
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.359
and let's all make like we're doing something important for
12
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.079
our families. Each Wednesday we bring you our thoughts on
13
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.159
a newer entertainment property, and for this week of June ninth,
14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.520
we're continuing with Duster. Episode three, You're No Good or
15
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:57.079
You're No Good? You're no good? Yes, in which what's
16
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.960
his name? Jim? I can't it's hard for me to remember,
17
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:00.679
you know.
18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.560
Brian Grubb wrote about this and mentioned that while Duster
19
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.680
refers to his car, it's really hard not to think
20
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.000
it's the nickname for him, and I do think him
21
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.079
is Duster yeah.
22
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.319
Yes, so in this one, he's his feelings about his
23
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:22.519
employer are swinging wildly from the from a point A
24
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.159
to point B, you know, from good guy to bad
25
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.599
guy to I don't know to I hope not, but
26
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.799
now I kind of have to believe this.
27
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.280
So yeah, it makes me wonder whether Sex was doing
28
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.519
that on purpose, like he knows that there's something going
29
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.319
on and so he's just messing with him. Yeah, probably not,
30
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.400
but if he was, that would be a real clever
31
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.480
way to twist my knife.
32
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.959
Yeah, I mean, being all sweet about his brother and.
33
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.319
Him and yeah, yeah, just conveniently dropping the name of
34
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.480
the C four person out of the blue for no
35
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:02.319
real reason.
36
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.400
Yeah. And you know, there's this whole thing where they
37
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.879
pull up to this you know, divy bar, and I
38
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.080
feel like it was Saxon's idea, like, oh, let's stop here,
39
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.520
and he was very much not welcome there, and they
40
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.439
have to like basically beat up everyone in the entire place.
41
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.960
The two of them, which of course they do it efficiently.
42
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.719
Yes, but you know, was that like a test of
43
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.879
let me see if Jim's gonna, yeah, take care of
44
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.759
me in this situation? I don't know.
45
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.439
Yeah, it's It's hard to tell at this point to
46
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.199
what degree he is an omniscient bad guy, yeah, or
47
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.840
if he's just a guy who's bad and you know,
48
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.439
it would be sort of satisfying if he really didn't
49
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.199
know and he was just just messing with him. But
50
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:54.319
probably not.
51
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.240
I mean, he didn't he didn't know that Jim tampered
52
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.360
with his usual car so that he would be forced
53
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.039
to get a ride from Jim.
54
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.120
Right, he didn't know it. Although didn't Jim just do
55
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:16.120
it out in plain daylight on the street? Yes? So
56
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.599
are we sure he didn't know? I'm like a lot
57
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.240
of people do things in this show that I feel
58
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.280
should be done in dark corners and you know, out
59
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.520
of the way places, and they're just walking down the
60
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.960
street saying, so what about this guy? Do we think
61
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.240
he killed somebody? Look at this evidence I found. Let
62
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.080
me spread it out here on the middle of the table.
63
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.960
This is true. I just come on, you guys, sneak
64
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.719
around a little bit so well, I mean, I think
65
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.879
it would be plausible if we're supposed to think that
66
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.120
this Sas is just a super brilliant villain, that he
67
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.240
would be able to pick up on the stupid way
68
00:03:52.639 --> 00:04:01.479
Ye if it's going going about this but possibly not, well,
69
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.639
it seems like a stretch.
70
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.719
Yeah. And then when you had Nina and Awan basically
71
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.840
you know, breaking into the institution where the former agent
72
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.879
was being held, and yeah, she puts on a nurse's uniform,
73
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.839
but she still got her like black knee high boots on.
74
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.600
And also like they ran out of there because they
75
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:33.319
basically got busted, like well all their clothes, yes, are
76
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.240
still back in that dressing room. Did are they going
77
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.759
to go back to the janitor guy and be like, hey,
78
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.959
can you just please go in there and get her stuff?
79
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.920
Also, did they like does she have a purse? I know,
80
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.600
do they have like personal effects? And what happened to
81
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:50.759
the Superman wallet?
82
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.600
I was worried about the Superman wallet?
83
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.480
Really they were. I don't know what the deal is about.
84
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.519
Why that guy only had three mentions in IMDb three episodes? Yeah,
85
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.519
because it sure seemed all through this episode that they
86
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.480
were gonna kill him off. They were just I was
87
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.759
just rod cat, I mean, flashing lights all over the place.
88
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.399
Every time they separated. I thought, no, no, stay with her,
89
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.800
she's the lead. She's gonna be safe. And you know,
90
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.279
his whole Superman speech and all this stuff. He's gonna
91
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:29.279
be just and then nothing happened. It was fine. So
92
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.800
he gets hit by a car in between episodes or what.
93
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.839
Hopefully they write him off in some nice way. I
94
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.839
don't know. Yes, he's getting a big promotion to some
95
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.519
other office.
96
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.560
Or or being on that little caper with her and
97
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.279
made him realize he didn't want to do this for
98
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.040
a living. The stuff is stupid, right, So yeah, I
99
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.600
don't know if it's just I know, I've noticed sometimes
100
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.000
with these streaming shows that drop episodes on a schedule,
101
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.240
sometimes IMDb doesn't care catch up with who ye, So
102
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.279
it may just be that, although I noticed there's a
103
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.639
lot of people that have more than three episodes listed,
104
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.279
so they just wanted to play with us. Do you
105
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.879
think you can learn things from Miamdb? Do you? Hah?
106
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.519
I enjoy this. You're gonna be worried about him every minute, right,
107
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.600
but because he's so sweet, he really is, he's too
108
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.839
he's too sweet too?
109
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:24.079
Yeah?
110
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:30.439
Really should uh you know, find something safer? Yes, but yeah,
111
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.079
the whole hospital thing was annoying in so many ways
112
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.800
and unlikely, but uh, okay, get your little plot in there,
113
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.839
and what did we learn in that really nothing? He
114
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.439
is super super nuts.
115
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:51.000
Yeah, and we're to assume that not even usefully nuts. Yeah,
116
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.800
and we're supposed to think that it was Sacks who
117
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.279
caused this, right.
118
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:58.160
I guess.
119
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.360
But why is his wife seemingly kind of cool, like
120
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.079
she's just like she's already in someone's pocket. Right, but
121
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.399
she's like, yes, oh you don't, you don't need to
122
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.680
ask that question or whatever. I mean, she's not just like,
123
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.279
oh my husband, he's very silly. Yeah.
124
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.800
Yeah, so yeah, she was all but twisting her mustache
125
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:29.519
and she had on. Yes, yes, this had had more
126
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.759
suspense than I enjoy in a TV show. I don't
127
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.920
want to think characters I like Arian Now, I know
128
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.480
lost there's danger all over the place, but it's it's
129
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:43.560
weird danger.
130
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.040
I don't know, it's somewhat it's absurd.
131
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:52.639
Yes, this is just if you go into this place
132
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.439
and you get caught, you're gonna be in big trouble
133
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.079
and possibly since there's I don't know, Yeah, I guess
134
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.879
bad guys stuff I don't like. But anyway, it was fine.
135
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.319
It all turned out okay, everybody was fine and they
136
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.040
got you're no good and there at the end.
137
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:12.079
Right, we got another little scene of Jim's father and
138
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.279
horrible stepmother.
139
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.759
Speaking of scenes I didn't need to see. Yeah, children,
140
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.600
this is why you call before you visit your parents, Okay,
141
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.600
which nobody wants to see that. Nobody wants to even
142
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:26.600
think about it.
143
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.639
They have established this on a previous episode. Jim, you
144
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.519
need to call before you stop over. Get your father's
145
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.840
burglary tools or whatever, maybe something else.
146
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.159
After he cleans his eyes off with bleach, he'll know
147
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.240
not to do that anymore. Yeah.
148
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.039
No, he wasn't looking for burglary tools. He was looking
149
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.159
for the name of the Sea Fours this time.
150
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.720
Yes, apparently only one.
151
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:57.440
Yeah, well has a corner on the market. Apparently, I guess.
152
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.360
And remember remembers the name of the person that her
153
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.960
explosives were used to kill.
154
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:11.480
That was so bogus, I mean that that worked. It
155
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.559
was so stupid. Yes, how many years ago was this
156
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.440
supposed to have been?
157
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.840
Maybe it's not that many, I guess.
158
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.440
Maybe, I guess, but she didn't need to have to
159
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.679
like look it up on the database or anything, so
160
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.480
I guess. Not a lot of C four moving in
161
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.799
the area, so she remembers all the hits it's just stupid.
162
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.159
It just unless it's all a setup, right and Sax
163
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.559
is pulling all the strings of this as well, right
164
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:44.799
and possible. Yeah, I don't know, we'll find out. They
165
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.600
just better not. They better not kill that kid, that
166
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.159
little cute little left the eye agent. They just better
167
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.480
not kill him. Yeah, he needs to, he needs to
168
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.679
survive this. I don't care. He can leave the bureau.
169
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.559
Maybe he and uh Greg Grunberg's wife can run away someplace.
170
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:08.320
But yeah, that was pretty silly. Like my wife says,
171
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.000
I have to keep you around, is his reasoning for
172
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.200
allowing Nina to keep doing what she's doing. Well, my
173
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:19.799
wife's loud about you. Now I'm stuck with you really well.
174
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:25.000
You know parenting tips, Sometimes your kid asks you to
175
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.559
do something and you do it for them. You know,
176
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.559
sometimes you just have to listen to what they're saying
177
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.919
and do it out of respect and out of love.
178
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:38.200
And I just hope that things were out for the best. Yes,
179
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:44.600
we also learn for a parenting tip is to befriend
180
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.000
people like cleaning people and others who can sneak you
181
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.799
in and out of places. Yes, you know, be nice
182
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.320
to the waitress so that when your kids starts crying.
183
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.159
They will help you. They will get you the bill
184
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.240
super fast and get you out of there. You know,
185
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.840
be nice to the pair of professionals at your school
186
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.679
if your child has a pair professional, because they will
187
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.440
tell you things. You know. The people, the people deeply
188
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.440
in rooted in the system will not. But the people
189
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.960
who are just there, you know, yeah, and will.
190
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.840
It's about, you know, seeing the people who are otherwise invisible.
191
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:26.919
Exactly. Yes, bus driver of your kid's special ed bus
192
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.120
chatter up. Yes, that was good, you know, the sort
193
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:40.559
of insight that an outsider. Yes, the little thing with
194
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.440
a wan and his wallet made me think. Respect your
195
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.360
kids' obsessions. Yes, you know you may think, well this
196
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.840
is silly, but if it means something to them, it's
197
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:58.879
going to motivate them. Right. And also, everybody's got something
198
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.200
they dig. You don't want people laughing at yours, so
199
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.799
don't laugh at theirs. Yeah, you know, let them unless
200
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:11.879
it's something like you know, dangerous or toxic, right, who cares?
201
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:17.519
I remember, you know, teacher telling me that keys were
202
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.440
poisoned to my son and I had to take them away.
203
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.960
And it's like no, no, no, that's ridiculous. He talked
204
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.879
because of them. He didn't he can be bribed because
205
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.240
of them. It's like stop. So Also the freebie car magazines.
206
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.879
I keep trying to tell the teachers at school, pick
207
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.799
up a bunch of them when you go to the supermarket,
208
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.320
and then anytime you need to bribe them, give them one.
209
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.399
They would not do it. But this is the kind
210
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.360
of thing that we do if you're smart. So the
211
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.919
Superman wallet makes him feel strong, go with him.
212
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.000
Yeah, totally.
213
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.080
Also a parenting tip learned through the way that various
214
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.679
authorities were trying to talk Nina out of pursuing the cases.
215
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.559
She's pursuing it, and it just made her want to
216
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:05.519
do it more. Same thing with kids, you know, and
217
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.000
you tell them you certainly you must not do that,
218
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.399
it's just going to make them want to do it more. So. Yeah,
219
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.879
maybe some reverse psychology. Oh yeah, that that case is
220
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.840
really pretty much nothing. But sweetie, if you want to
221
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.919
go for it, you just go for it. We'll uh,
222
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:18.919
you know, we'll just be waiting.
223
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:19.679
We'll find something.
224
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.759
Had her on the head, you know, sure, that'll be
225
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.720
a good little thing to occupy you. It wouldn't matter
226
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.519
because she's you know, yeah, she has she has you know,
227
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.399
you have to be careful because sometimes the more vehemently
228
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.240
you forbid something, the more interesting you make it. Oh
229
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.720
absolutely yeah, that's that is absolutely the case here. Every
230
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.720
time somebody tells her she better not, she realizes that
231
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.919
the schedule one's deeper than I need.
232
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.759
Yes, yes, absolutely bad.
233
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.000
Bad strategy, you guys, the old white man strategy.
234
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.360
And also I can't remember if it was in this episode.
235
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.480
I think so that she was talking to her mom again, like,
236
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.360
