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 than I'm
6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.800
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 --> 00:00:32.159
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 --> 00:00:42.280
our families. Each Wednesday we bring you our thoughts on
13
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.280
a newer entertainment property, and for this week of October thirteenth,
14
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.240
we are continuing with season five of Only Murders in
15
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:58.759
the Building. This was episode seven, Silver Alert on Poor Martin. Short,
16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.920
he the trio find themselves at Bash's mansion in Connecticut,
17
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:11.519
and they at some point before they even get there,
18
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:16.280
he's texting Loretta like I'm I'm gonna die, basically in
19
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:21.159
his typical subdued fashion, and so once he loses cell service,
20
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:26.319
and he cannot respond to her increasingly panicked texts. She
21
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.680
basically calls in the calls in the search party on him.
22
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.719
So he eventually runs into these people who are loading
23
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.799
their horse into a trailer. And I meant to look
24
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:45.640
up who these people were because they.
25
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.519
Yes, it's Becky and Baker and Dylan Baker, two actors
26
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.599
I know individually, but had no idea we're married. I
27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.159
looked it up in you know, IMDb, thinking they got
28
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.280
the same last name, and indeed they have been married
29
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.719
for thirty eight years. We have recently seen Vicky and
30
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.359
Baker as Dottie Lasso, Ted's mom, okay, and doing Baker
31
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.680
has just been everywhere. He's just he's a hats that guy, right.
32
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.960
But these people sounded like they couldn't act. They they
33
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.319
they were so odd in their delay.
34
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.599
They are veteran actors, I know.
35
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.439
Like I was like, to the point, where did someone
36
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.120
win a contest to get a small part on this show?
37
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.520
I don't know, I don't know. It was just I
38
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:31.919
don't know.
39
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.439
I thought they seemed like they just they thought he
40
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.080
was a senile old man and they were like, oh
41
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.159
this is what you were doing?
42
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:40.439
Oh?
43
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.719
Really looking at each other like, yeah, well his brain
44
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.080
is gone. I don't know. It seemed okay to me.
45
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.000
Maybe it's because I knew who they were. Yeah, but
46
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.159
uh and how fun that they got this little cameo. Yes,
47
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.000
they were in town, but it's worth it for me
48
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.159
to find out that they're married. I had no idea.
49
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.840
I just thought they had the same two individual actors
50
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.560
with the same last name. Right, good for them.
51
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.840
So yeah, to rewind, the trio decides that I don't
52
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.400
even remember how they got to this point that they
53
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.680
they decided they needed to.
54
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:25.080
This is a procedural that's exacting in its methodology what happened.
55
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.319
I remember Keegan Michael Key as the mayor comes to
56
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.800
uh be on their podcast and they're like, you know,
57
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.719
we can't have we can't look into these three billionaires
58
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.759
because of the the podcast deal that they got. So
59
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.680
they're sort of like, oh, well, we'll just interview the
60
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.439
mayor as like a side quest to have something to
61
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.280
talk about since we can't focus on our on our three,
62
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.319
which I guess they're back to being like they're the
63
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:07.360
suspects because of Bash's company owning all the surveillance equipment.
64
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.599
So then Keing and Michael Key sends his assistant out,
65
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:19.120
which we had identified as a person of interest, sends
66
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.120
her to get him coffee so that he can quickly
67
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:29.680
say that he does suspect these three because the assistant
68
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:35.839
is Bash's niece, and he's basically under Bash's thumb because
69
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.519
of all the campaign contributions he's made.
70
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.360
So excited here to be in somebody's house and then
71
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.319
to send somebody out for coffee.
72
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.959
Yes, but I guess if you're an assistant, just.
73
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:53.240
You're in New York, I don't know.
74
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.920
Just like train, he says he did.
75
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.439
Not would it not behoove Oliver to provide coffee for
76
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:00.560
his guests.
77
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.639
Well, as we've seen before, he provided caviar and champagne
78
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:10.879
in deadmall quantities. But you know, obviously he just needed
79
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:17.240
a reason to get rid of Yeah. Yeah, So that's
80
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.759
why they decide they need to track down these three,
81
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:27.079
and they go to Connecticut to find them, and it's
82
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:33.759
a whole game like it reminded me of if you know,
83
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:41.120
the movie Trading Places, where the two rich guys decide
84
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.600
to you know, swap lives with Eddie Murphy's character and
85
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.480
who's you know, just into the street criminal and their
86
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.160
their son in law or whatever dan Aykroyd, and they
87
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.480
prove that they can like ruin one's life and elevate
88
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:05.079
the other two. Yeah, and anyway, at the end of
89
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.040
the episode, at the end of the movie, you find
90
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.240
out that they bet each other one dollar to do this,
91
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.519
and that kind of reminded me of like this, They're like, oh,
92
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.639
we're playing all this for this cheap trophy, which, of course,
93
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.480
right is turned out.
94
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.040
To how decomposed is that?
95
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:31.000
I know this finger has has traveled from freezer to
96
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.439
Stanley mug to now being inside this And also I
97
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.959
still don't understand how having possession of the finger means
98
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:42.759
you win.
99
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.959
Like well she said something about you know, I can't
100
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.160
explain it now or something like that, but having that finger,
101
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:57.079
whoever has that finger gets the casino, right, So it's
102
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.079
like it's a breadcrumb for us to tick up a
103
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.040
later time. I guess, right, So pick up a breadcrumb
104
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:04.680
in that finger.
105
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:15.720
Yes, exactly so. Yes, even though Charles and Mabel excel
106
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.800
at the game of celebrity because of all of Oliver's
107
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.759
name dropping that he's done over five seasons, that was fun.
108
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.920
Yes, I shout out to Linda Lavin ri I.
109
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:35.279
P Yeah, so they they do win the game, but
110
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.759
it doesn't really helped, doesn't very much.
111
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.920
As so much in this show, it doesn't really matter.
112
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.279
Yeah, it doesn't really matter.
113
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:46.879
It was just kind of there because somebody thought it
114
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.360
would be funny, which it was.
115
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:49.680
It was.
116
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.879
Were this not a detective show, it would be exactly Okay,
117
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.639
So the final like Pink Pong on Lost, you know, yes, the.
118
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.480
Final moment, it is for us to learn that the
119
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:12.920
reason that Camilla plans to buy out all of the
120
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.560
Arconia and turn the whole thing into the casino.
121
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.959
So okay, give me a lot of money from my apartment,
122
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.120
I'll be out. And what I don't know. Yeah, it
123
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:33.799
seems like less than compelling stakes. I guess the murder
124
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.000
victim will be the Arconia as we have known it,
125
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.279
and we must try to keep that from happening.
126
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:44.480
I guess, right. And we don't know how Lester is
127
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.639
involved here. You know why Lester had to be killed?
128
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.919
I can, yeah, I can kind of see why the
129
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:56.480
mobster had to go, but I don't know about Lester.
130
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.879
Just yeah, it's not coming together for me. It's not
131
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.720
coming together to a place where I care. I mean,
132
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:12.840
I care about Lester, But yeah, I feel like in
133
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.320
previous seasons the through line has been a little more
134
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.960
obvious about how this connects to anything we care about.
135
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:26.240
And again, they'll get there. I suppose they'll get there.
136
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.200
I guess we're supposed to just care about the building
137
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:34.320
in which the only murders are, and they're going to
138
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.799
murder the building. I'm going to prevent this murder of
139
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:44.399
the building. But if everybody's going to get a tidy
140
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.679
sum for their unit and can move into one of
141
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.879
the other I have to think many many, many, many
142
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.279
similar buildings in New York City. What the stakes are exactly?
143
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:02.000
Other than nostalgia? Yeah, they need to paint me a picture, right,
144
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.759
So other than just rich people evil?
145
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.240
Yeah, although you.
146
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:14.559
Know, Charles and Oliver are aren't exactly pinched pennies, no,
147
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.799
are they not somewhat wealthy?
148
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.120
Well, I mean you remember in the in the early seasons,
149
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:27.200
Oliver had no money at all. But now they've had
150
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.600
this movie and this podcast.
151
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:37.559
Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever, Well it was it was just
152
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.799
a lot of weirdness for the sake of weirdness. Kid
153
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.480
named Algae who seems to have wandered over from Wednesday.
154
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.080
Yes, that was the only parenting that we had in
155
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:54.600
this is that Bash has a extremely odd child, yeah,
156
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:59.679
named Algernon, who I don't know what we're supposed to
157
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.240
besides being extremely creepy the way he just like pops
158
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.679
up out of nowhere. Yeah, he was in the opening credits,
159
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:13.840
so when you saw Charles, Mabel and Oliver, then he
160
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.080
would like pop up in the oh okay, in the window.
161
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.080
Okay, So I did not notice that that was kind
162
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:28.639
of fun? Yeah, yeah, is he gonna like gas his
163
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:35.000
dad at some point? Watch out for those weird quiet kids,
164
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.200
you know.
165
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.960
Yeah, well those kids who were treated in such a
166
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:47.200
way by their yes that you have to raise an eyebrow.
167
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.840
Yeah you do. It just seemed like somebody was having
168
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.279
fun with that.
169
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.399
Oh yeah, somebody was for sure.
170
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:10.600
Alrighty. So so parenting tips, uh, watch this to see
171
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:16.000
the way that what's uh Bash's Bash raised is raising
172
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.320
this kid and do all the opposite.
173
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.080
Definitely do those things.
174
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.240
Yes, no sharp objects no, uh, empty swimming pools no,
175
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:36.200
uh you know, earth stones no, just uh no earthnes no. Yes,
176
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.600
perhaps do not have kids when you are as old
177
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.360
as Bash supposedly is yes. And if you're gonna have
178
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.440
your friends over board games, let your kid play. What
179
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.039
are you doing?
180
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.039
What do you do?
181
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.519
And you're playing operation? He's out in the yard whittling
182
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:54.840
things with a sharp knife.
183
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:55.120
Right?
184
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:55.159
No?
185
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.759
No, does he mean friends his.
186
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.679
Little friends over to play games that could give you
187
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:03.480
an advantage?
188
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.919
Bash? I mean like basically give me spash, you know,
189
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.080
two chances to win instead of one.
190
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:17.360
Right, right, Wonder wonder what kids this kid could have
191
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.840
for friends. It's like, all all his dad's friends have
192
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:22.879
kids who are adults.
193
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:27.200
Or older who are grandparents. Yes, maybe he needs to
194
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.799
be involved in the in the theater group.
195
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.840
Yes, there you go. Yeah, that's where we're going.
196
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:35.039
He would be good at that.
197
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:40.200
Yes. I was myself the child of an older dad
198
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.639
who had older friends whose kids were older. And I
199
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.720
would go and adults would play bridge, and I would
200
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:51.080
sit on the brick on the outside of the fireplace.
201
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.120
I would sit on the little brickshelf and play solitaire.
202
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:54.879
There you go.
203
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.360
I could have been I could have been in a
204
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:02.039
TV show like this, Did you know how to eating
205
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:05.720
the cherries out of the adult's drinks? And you know,
206
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:15.519
learning how to get along by myself? Yes, but I
207
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.080
was not a screep. Well I don't think I was.
208
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:23.440
You never know. Other people's mileage may vary.
209
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.399
Yeah, but it was.
210
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.799
It was the sixties. There or probably no earth tones, yeah, yeah,
211
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:39.080
probably not. It was probably hot pink. So also, do
212
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.039
not give your kid a name and use I mean,
213
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.519
if you want to name your kid algrenon, that's pretty bad,
214
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.679
but find a better nickname than Algae. Do not have
215
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.759
him standing out in like a puddle on your front
216
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:55.639
porch and call him.
217
00:14:55.559 --> 00:15:01.559
Algae right well in the pool, yeah, there's no water
218
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:02.080
in it.
219
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:07.279
Will These are all the kind of things that will
220
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.120
lead to your child being like Benjaminlinis. Don't do it.
221
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.320
Don't watch watch this episode. We just watched Have Lost
222
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.919
and See the Error of Your Ways. So and Ben
223
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.120
had a normal name because his mother gave it to it, Yes,
224
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.679
exactly conveniently, so we would know who it was who
225
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.360
had just been born, right.
226
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.639
All right, I'm guessing we could have figured it out.
227
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:38.879
We probably could have, but you know, yours, yours are busy.
228
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.919
You want to you want to make sure they don't
229
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.559
have to have to go over to to IMDb to
230
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.000
find out that which kid that is?
231
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:46.480
Right?
232
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.600
Just let him know right away.
233
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:56.080
Yes. Well, so, as we explained yesterday, next Wednesday, we
234
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.639
will not be covering the next episode of Onlymergs in
235
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.080
the Building because we are unable to record in a
236
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:09.120
timely fashion. So instead we decided to continue with Lost.
237
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.960
So next week is a Lost two four on Tuesday
238
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.360
and Wednesday, and so then we'll follow that.
239
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.200
Up and on Wednesday we will have the fun filled
240
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:24.799
season three of finale. Yes so worth tuning in for.
241
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.559
Yes So, then aster moving than an Only Murders in
242
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.200
the Building.
243
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:33.519
Episode, and we will pick back up with Only Murders
244
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:39.320
in the Building with episodes eight and nine of season five,
245
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:45.279
and that'll be on Wednesday, October twenty ninth, and that'll
246
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.279
be close to the end. I think we decided that there
247
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.960
are ten episodes.
248
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.639
Of that, so there's like only three episodes left, I
249
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:54.639
think so. And we are.
250
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.080
Where we are, We are.
251
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.559
Nowhere, it feels like nowhere. We are in the it's
252
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.759
all going to come together. It's all gonna come together.
253
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.240
It's just wait, just we can't see it yet, but
254
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.039
there's a giant network that's coming together.
255
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:11.079
That's right.
256
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.319
They'll let us know in the last five minutes that's right.
257
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.920
So that's what's happening next week. But we'll see you
258
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.680

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 than I'm
6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.800
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 --> 00:00:32.159
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 --> 00:00:42.280
our families. Each Wednesday we bring you our thoughts on
13
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.280
a newer entertainment property, and for this week of October thirteenth,
14
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.240
we are continuing with season five of Only Murders in
15
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:58.759
the Building. This was episode seven, Silver Alert on Poor Martin. Short,
16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.920
he the trio find themselves at Bash's mansion in Connecticut,
17
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:11.519
and they at some point before they even get there,
18
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:16.280
he's texting Loretta like I'm I'm gonna die, basically in
19
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:21.159
his typical subdued fashion, and so once he loses cell service,
20
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:26.319
and he cannot respond to her increasingly panicked texts. She
21
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.680
basically calls in the calls in the search party on him.
22
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.719
So he eventually runs into these people who are loading
23
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.799
their horse into a trailer. And I meant to look
24
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:45.640
up who these people were because they.
25
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.519
Yes, it's Becky and Baker and Dylan Baker, two actors
26
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.599
I know individually, but had no idea we're married. I
27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.159
looked it up in you know, IMDb, thinking they got
28
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.280
the same last name, and indeed they have been married
29
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.719
for thirty eight years. We have recently seen Vicky and
30
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.359
Baker as Dottie Lasso, Ted's mom, okay, and doing Baker
31
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.680
has just been everywhere. He's just he's a hats that guy, right.
32
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.960
But these people sounded like they couldn't act. They they
33
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.319
they were so odd in their delay.
34
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.599
They are veteran actors, I know.
35
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.439
Like I was like, to the point, where did someone
36
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.120
win a contest to get a small part on this show?
37
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.520
I don't know, I don't know. It was just I
38
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:31.919
don't know.
39
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.439
I thought they seemed like they just they thought he
40
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.080
was a senile old man and they were like, oh
41
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.159
this is what you were doing?
42
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:40.439
Oh?
43
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.719
Really looking at each other like, yeah, well his brain
44
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.080
is gone. I don't know. It seemed okay to me.
45
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.000
Maybe it's because I knew who they were. Yeah, but
46
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.159
uh and how fun that they got this little cameo. Yes,
47
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.000
they were in town, but it's worth it for me
48
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.159
to find out that they're married. I had no idea.
49
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.840
I just thought they had the same two individual actors
50
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.560
with the same last name. Right, good for them.
51
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.840
So yeah, to rewind, the trio decides that I don't
52
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.400
even remember how they got to this point that they
53
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.680
they decided they needed to.
54
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:25.080
This is a procedural that's exacting in its methodology what happened.
55
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.319
I remember Keegan Michael Key as the mayor comes to
56
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.800
uh be on their podcast and they're like, you know,
57
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.719
we can't have we can't look into these three billionaires
58
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.759
because of the the podcast deal that they got. So
59
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.680
they're sort of like, oh, well, we'll just interview the
60
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.439
mayor as like a side quest to have something to
61
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.280
talk about since we can't focus on our on our three,
62
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.319
which I guess they're back to being like they're the
63
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:07.360
suspects because of Bash's company owning all the surveillance equipment.
64
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.599
So then Keing and Michael Key sends his assistant out,
65
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:19.120
which we had identified as a person of interest, sends
66
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.120
her to get him coffee so that he can quickly
67
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:29.680
say that he does suspect these three because the assistant
68
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:35.839
is Bash's niece, and he's basically under Bash's thumb because
69
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.519
of all the campaign contributions he's made.
70
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.360
So excited here to be in somebody's house and then
71
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.319
to send somebody out for coffee.
72
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.959
Yes, but I guess if you're an assistant, just.
73
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:53.240
You're in New York, I don't know.
74
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.920
Just like train, he says he did.
75
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.439
Not would it not behoove Oliver to provide coffee for
76
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:00.560
his guests.
77
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.639
Well, as we've seen before, he provided caviar and champagne
78
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:10.879
in deadmall quantities. But you know, obviously he just needed
79
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:17.240
a reason to get rid of Yeah. Yeah, So that's
80
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.759
why they decide they need to track down these three,
81
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:27.079
and they go to Connecticut to find them, and it's
82
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:33.759
a whole game like it reminded me of if you know,
83
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:41.120
the movie Trading Places, where the two rich guys decide
84
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.600
to you know, swap lives with Eddie Murphy's character and
85
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.480
who's you know, just into the street criminal and their
86
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.160
their son in law or whatever dan Aykroyd, and they
87
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.480
prove that they can like ruin one's life and elevate
88
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:05.079
the other two. Yeah, and anyway, at the end of
89
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.040
the episode, at the end of the movie, you find
90
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.240
out that they bet each other one dollar to do this,
91
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.519
and that kind of reminded me of like this, They're like, oh,
92
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.639
we're playing all this for this cheap trophy, which, of course,
93
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.480
right is turned out.
94
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.040
To how decomposed is that?
95
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:31.000
I know this finger has has traveled from freezer to
96
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.439
Stanley mug to now being inside this And also I
97
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.959
still don't understand how having possession of the finger means
98
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:42.759
you win.
99
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.959
Like well she said something about you know, I can't
100
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.160
explain it now or something like that, but having that finger,
101
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:57.079
whoever has that finger gets the casino, right, So it's
102
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.079
like it's a breadcrumb for us to tick up a
103
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.040
later time. I guess, right, So pick up a breadcrumb
104
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:04.680
in that finger.
105
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:15.720
Yes, exactly so. Yes, even though Charles and Mabel excel
106
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.800
at the game of celebrity because of all of Oliver's
107
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.759
name dropping that he's done over five seasons, that was fun.
108
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.920
Yes, I shout out to Linda Lavin ri I.
109
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:35.279
P Yeah, so they they do win the game, but
110
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.759
it doesn't really helped, doesn't very much.
111
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.920
As so much in this show, it doesn't really matter.
112
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.279
Yeah, it doesn't really matter.
113
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:46.879
It was just kind of there because somebody thought it
114
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.360
would be funny, which it was.
115
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:49.680
It was.
116
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.879
Were this not a detective show, it would be exactly Okay,
117
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.639
So the final like Pink Pong on Lost, you know, yes, the.
118
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.480
Final moment, it is for us to learn that the
119
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:12.920
reason that Camilla plans to buy out all of the
120
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.560
Arconia and turn the whole thing into the casino.
121
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.959
So okay, give me a lot of money from my apartment,
122
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.120
I'll be out. And what I don't know. Yeah, it
123
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:33.799
seems like less than compelling stakes. I guess the murder
124
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.000
victim will be the Arconia as we have known it,
125
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.279
and we must try to keep that from happening.
126
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:44.480
I guess, right. And we don't know how Lester is
127
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.639
involved here. You know why Lester had to be killed?
128
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.919
I can, yeah, I can kind of see why the
129
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:56.480
mobster had to go, but I don't know about Lester.
130
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.879
Just yeah, it's not coming together for me. It's not
131
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.720
coming together to a place where I care. I mean,
132
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:12.840
I care about Lester, But yeah, I feel like in
133
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.320
previous seasons the through line has been a little more
134
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.960
obvious about how this connects to anything we care about.
135
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:26.240
And again, they'll get there. I suppose they'll get there.
136
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.200
I guess we're supposed to just care about the building
137
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:34.320
in which the only murders are, and they're going to
138
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.799
murder the building. I'm going to prevent this murder of
139
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:44.399
the building. But if everybody's going to get a tidy
140
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.679
sum for their unit and can move into one of
141
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.879
the other I have to think many many, many, many
142
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.279
similar buildings in New York City. What the stakes are exactly?
143
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:02.000
Other than nostalgia? Yeah, they need to paint me a picture, right,
144
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.759
So other than just rich people evil?
145
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.240
Yeah, although you.
146
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:14.559
Know, Charles and Oliver are aren't exactly pinched pennies, no,
147
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.799
are they not somewhat wealthy?
148
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.120
Well, I mean you remember in the in the early seasons,
149
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:27.200
Oliver had no money at all. But now they've had
150
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.600
this movie and this podcast.
151
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:37.559
Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever, Well it was it was just
152
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.799
a lot of weirdness for the sake of weirdness. Kid
153
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.480
named Algae who seems to have wandered over from Wednesday.
154
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.080
Yes, that was the only parenting that we had in
155
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:54.600
this is that Bash has a extremely odd child, yeah,
156
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:59.679
named Algernon, who I don't know what we're supposed to
157
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.240
besides being extremely creepy the way he just like pops
158
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.679
up out of nowhere. Yeah, he was in the opening credits,
159
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:13.840
so when you saw Charles, Mabel and Oliver, then he
160
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.080
would like pop up in the oh okay, in the window.
161
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.080
Okay, So I did not notice that that was kind
162
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:28.639
of fun? Yeah, yeah, is he gonna like gas his
163
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:35.000
dad at some point? Watch out for those weird quiet kids,
164
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.200
you know.
165
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.960
Yeah, well those kids who were treated in such a
166
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:47.200
way by their yes that you have to raise an eyebrow.
167
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.840
Yeah you do. It just seemed like somebody was having
168
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.279
fun with that.
169
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.399
Oh yeah, somebody was for sure.
170
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:10.600
Alrighty. So so parenting tips, uh, watch this to see
171
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:16.000
the way that what's uh Bash's Bash raised is raising
172
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.320
this kid and do all the opposite.
173
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.080
Definitely do those things.
174
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.240
Yes, no sharp objects no, uh, empty swimming pools no,
175
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:36.200
uh you know, earth stones no, just uh no earthnes no. Yes,
176
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.600
perhaps do not have kids when you are as old
177
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.360
as Bash supposedly is yes. And if you're gonna have
178
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.440
your friends over board games, let your kid play. What
179
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.039
are you doing?
180
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.039
What do you do?
181
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.519
And you're playing operation? He's out in the yard whittling
182
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:54.840
things with a sharp knife.
183
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:55.120
Right?
184
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:55.159
No?
185
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.759
No, does he mean friends his.
186
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.679
Little friends over to play games that could give you
187
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:03.480
an advantage?
188
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.919
Bash? I mean like basically give me spash, you know,
189
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.080
two chances to win instead of one.
190
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:17.360
Right, right, Wonder wonder what kids this kid could have
191
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.840
for friends. It's like, all all his dad's friends have
192
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:22.879
kids who are adults.
193
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:27.200
Or older who are grandparents. Yes, maybe he needs to
194
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.799
be involved in the in the theater group.
195
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.840
Yes, there you go. Yeah, that's where we're going.
196
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:35.039
He would be good at that.
197
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:40.200
Yes. I was myself the child of an older dad
198
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.639
who had older friends whose kids were older. And I
199
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.720
would go and adults would play bridge, and I would
200
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:51.080
sit on the brick on the outside of the fireplace.
201
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.120
I would sit on the little brickshelf and play solitaire.
202
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:54.879
There you go.
203
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.360
I could have been I could have been in a
204
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:02.039
TV show like this, Did you know how to eating
205
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:05.720
the cherries out of the adult's drinks? And you know,
206
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:15.519
learning how to get along by myself? Yes, but I
207
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.080
was not a screep. Well I don't think I was.
208
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:23.440
You never know. Other people's mileage may vary.
209
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.399
Yeah, but it was.
210
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.799
It was the sixties. There or probably no earth tones, yeah, yeah,
211
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:39.080
probably not. It was probably hot pink. So also, do
212
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.039
not give your kid a name and use I mean,
213
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.519
if you want to name your kid algrenon, that's pretty bad,
214
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.679
but find a better nickname than Algae. Do not have
215
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.759
him standing out in like a puddle on your front
216
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:55.639
porch and call him.
217
00:14:55.559 --> 00:15:01.559
Algae right well in the pool, yeah, there's no water
218
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:02.080
in it.
219
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:07.279
Will These are all the kind of things that will
220
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.120
lead to your child being like Benjaminlinis. Don't do it.
221
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.320
Don't watch watch this episode. We just watched Have Lost
222
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.919
and See the Error of Your Ways. So and Ben
223
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.120
had a normal name because his mother gave it to it, Yes,
224
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.679
exactly conveniently, so we would know who it was who
225
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.360
had just been born, right.
226
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.639
All right, I'm guessing we could have figured it out.
227
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:38.879
We probably could have, but you know, yours, yours are busy.
228
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.919
You want to you want to make sure they don't
229
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.559
have to have to go over to to IMDb to
230
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.000
find out that which kid that is?
231
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:46.480
Right?
232
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.600
Just let him know right away.
233
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:56.080
Yes. Well, so, as we explained yesterday, next Wednesday, we
234
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.639
will not be covering the next episode of Onlymergs in
235
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.080
the Building because we are unable to record in a
236
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:09.120
timely fashion. So instead we decided to continue with Lost.
237
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.960
So next week is a Lost two four on Tuesday
238
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.360
and Wednesday, and so then we'll follow that.
239
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.200
Up and on Wednesday we will have the fun filled
240
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:24.799
season three of finale. Yes so worth tuning in for.
241
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.559
Yes So, then aster moving than an Only Murders in
242
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.200
the Building.
243
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:33.519
Episode, and we will pick back up with Only Murders
244
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:39.320
in the Building with episodes eight and nine of season five,
245
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:45.279
and that'll be on Wednesday, October twenty ninth, and that'll
246
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.279
be close to the end. I think we decided that there
247
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.960
are ten episodes.
248
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.639
Of that, so there's like only three episodes left, I
249
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:54.639
think so. And we are.
250
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.080
Where we are, We are.
251
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.559
Nowhere, it feels like nowhere. We are in the it's
252
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.759
all going to come together. It's all gonna come together.
253
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.240
It's just wait, just we can't see it yet, but
254
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.039
there's a giant network that's coming together.
255
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:11.079
That's right.
256
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.319
They'll let us know in the last five minutes that's right.
257
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.920
So that's what's happening next week. But we'll see you
