00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.960
Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow.
2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:07.960
And I'm Catherine Hileco.
3
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.759
Every Thursday, we're bringing you a library find, a pick
4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.919
from our archives, and a parenting or pop culture tidbit
5
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.600
or two. Let's start with Catherine's library find of.
6
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.519
The week this week, I have for you a book
7
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.440
that I think you could have used last week when
8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.960
you were frustrated with your dog. This is a book
9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.600
called The Bedtime Book for Dogs, and it is it
10
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.359
is meant to be you know, it's meant to be
11
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:45.759
read to your dog. I guess or yes, it's. The
12
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.280
description says, come, sit, stay, I want to tell you
13
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.520
a story. I think you'll like it. It's about a treat
14
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:58.920
and a good dog. Well, yes, so I thought that
15
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.039
was very cute. And the cover there's a cute puppy
16
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:07.400
with reading glasses and he's got a book. So I
17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.680
thought maybe that was something you could have used when, yeah,
18
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:16.120
your dog was being naughty and needed a little reset.
19
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.400
So you're supposed to sit down and read this with
20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.159
the dog. Yes, just to the dog, sure, yes, and
21
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:24.879
she will look up at you with big brown eyes
22
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.200
and say, may I have a treat?
23
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.159
This is very nice, but a treat would be better.
24
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.480
I think she's supposed to fall asleep.
25
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.879
Also, why are you sitting under this desk with me?
26
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.840
There's not enough room for both of us.
27
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.040
But I thought it was very charming and along. Yes,
28
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.280
it came out quite a long time ago, but it's
29
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.159
almost one of those precursors of sort of meta type
30
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.400
books where you're reading it to your kid and it's
31
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.879
supposed to get them going like, oh, but books aren't
32
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.640
for dogs, you know that sort of yes, you know
33
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.159
the book with no pictures, that kind of yeah. Or
34
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.760
the monster at the end of this book that I
35
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.360
love that book, Yeah, that was one of my faves.
36
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.360
So I thought that was clever. And then I did
37
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.520
want to follow up on a series that I've mentioned
38
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.479
twice already now, but in a true it was a
39
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.240
true library find where I was shelving and I came
40
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.719
across a book and I was like, oh, this is
41
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.240
the author of those books that I liked, the Mister
42
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.319
Darcy and Miss Tilney mysteries that were Jane Austen characters
43
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.360
brought into Cozy Mysteries. And there was a new one
44
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.479
that came out last summer, and I had no idea,
45
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.400
so I grabbed it and it was fun. It had
46
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:57.319
a duel in it, so duel. Yes, it had murders,
47
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:02.199
it had a duel, it had romance, so what.
48
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:02.800
More could you want?
49
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.840
More could you want? And there was actually an adoption
50
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.800
plot in it as well. So going going back to
51
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:17.879
our our Kate and Aaron discussion from yesterday, yes, there
52
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.879
was a person who you know very much wanted to
53
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:23.800
spoiler alert by the.
54
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.680
Way, close your ears if you're planning to hear this,
55
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.319
hit the fast forward button a little bit, not too far.
56
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.080
But there was somebody who was trying to conceive and
57
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:40.520
was having difficulty and ended up, you know, having the
58
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.080
opportunity to adopt a child. And at first was reluctant
59
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.280
because she felt like, is this just gonna remind me
60
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:55.159
that I couldn't I couldn't do this, But you know,
61
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.719
in the end of course she realized she said, I
62
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.000
asked the Lord to send me a child and he
63
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.159
did so.
64
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:04.599
Yes.
65
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.240
Anyway, so it was like, did somebody just hand you
66
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.800
a baby and say here, could you take.
67
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:10.599
The assist to hold this?
68
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.000
We don't know where his mother is. Nobody ever had
69
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.000
and nobody ever mentions Claire I know.
70
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.399
And when they when they said, like when Daniel asked,
71
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.800
is anybody of your group not accounted for? And they said, oh,
72
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.560
just Lock like no one else. No one said Claire.
73
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.199
So this is what happens once you lose your baby,
74
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.360
you guys, Once someone takes your baby, you are nobody
75
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:34.839
has any interest in you anymore.
76
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.759
Yes, So anyway, back to the book is called the
77
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.720
Rushworth family plot. If you are interested in those mister
78
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.319
Darcy and Miss Tilney mysteries. It is the fourth one.
79
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.519
So okay, and I.
80
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.439
Have now signed up for the author's substack so that
81
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.680
I can find out when the next one comes out,
82
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.839
because it's really left. I mean, it was a complete story,
83
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:06.800
but I'm wanting more and I don't want to be
84
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.680
eight months late to the party like I was on
85
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:10.079
this one.
86
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.279
So ah, yes, that's good. Yes, get those alerts.
87
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:15.920
Yes, exactly good.
88
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.680
Well, speaking of romance, Yes, for my random recommendation, I
89
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.480
am very late in this by the time you hear it,
90
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.399
I was late on it just because of our recording schedule.
91
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.319
I'm already late as I'm talking about it now. And
92
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.240
by the time you hear this in another week, you're
93
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.519
gonna be going, why is she talking about that? Although
94
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.240
I don't think it'll be over because I just want
95
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.240
to say, for anybody who feels in need of a
96
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.399
rom com right now but doesn't have a lot of time,
97
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:55.279
may I recommend to you from Taylor Swift, which in
98
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:01.439
about six minutes tells a complete, adorable romantic.
99
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:08.040
Story and it's just delightful. Have you seen it? No, Catherine?
100
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.120
No Ah? Well, I love the song and when the
101
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.839
video came out, I don't necessarily run and watch music videos,
102
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.680
even from people I like, but I started seeing pictures
103
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:17.959
of this thing and I said, I have to check
104
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.160
this out. And the origin of it was that Taylor
105
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.000
Swift was on the Graham Norton Show, which I guess
106
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.279
is a big talk show in England.
107
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.759
Yeah, I've seen clips of that.
108
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.680
And all the people who are on the show that
109
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.199
day sit on a couch together and Domino Gleason, actor
110
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.160
was on it, and their joke was made about his
111
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.920
dancing and he said, oh, I'm hoping to get it
112
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.199
in a Taylor Swift video, and she kind of looked
113
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.079
like oh. And then we come upon this video which
114
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.519
has actually not only him but everybody who was on
115
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:59.040
the show with her Oh Graham Norton in various cameo appearances.
116
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.720
He is like the lonely guy and she is the
117
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.000
lonely girl. And also featured in the video are various
118
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.480
of the era's tour dancers and in the role of
119
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.160
various unsatisfactory love interests. We have a rock, a cactus,
120
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:19.120
a stapler and a can of garbage, but the two
121
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.519
lonely people find each other and match each other's oddness
122
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.560
just adorably. And really it is a six minute rom
123
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.480
com that I think is fairly irresistible.
124
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.279
I've watched it a number of times.
125
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.639
Also a very good song, so I very much recommend
126
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.959
checking that out. It started out when it was first released,
127
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.079
it was only on Apple Music and Spotify Premium, I think,
128
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.959
But now it's on YouTube. It's everywhere, so easy to
129
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.800
watch and rewatch and then watch again because it's so
130
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.639
cute and so funny, And then you can go on
131
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.800
to social media and read about who everybody is imagining
132
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.040
Rock and the cactus stop the can of garbage were
133
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.160
in real life, right, Not too hard to figure out
134
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.480
a couple of them, right, But uh, but anyway, I
135
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.120
will say, if you watch it on YouTube, which usually
136
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.519
puts a commercial before anything you watch. Be aware that
137
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.759
the video itself starts with a mock infomercial. And if
138
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.560
you're watching it, you know, you might think that it's
139
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.120
something to skip over, but no, on once it looks
140
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.519
like something from the nineties, some cheesy infomercial for the
141
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.399
product called opal Light. That's that's why you want to
142
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.840
turn yes. And you can see John jan who is
143
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.799
on uh we say see Jan Yon. We see Yan
144
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:47.279
who is on Dancing with the Stars briefly there. So anyway, okay, delightful,
145
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.600
just delightful. I'm gonna go watch it again.
146
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:50.159
After we're done here.
147
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:56.679
So cutey, such a cute little wrong call and h
148
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.399
is there anything cute to discuss in our archive topic?
149
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.759
Well, the Winter Olympics we have. They are of course
150
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:08.919
going on right now.
151
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.360
We have Will they be going on when people are
152
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:10.960
listening to this?
153
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:11.960
Yeah?
154
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:12.679
Does it last?
155
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:19.399
Yeah? It goes into like February twenty first twenty seconds.
156
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.720
And then afterwards we'll pre presumably be the Paralympics, right, Yeah,
157
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.559
I think there's a lesson you should watch them.
158
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.639
There's a little bit of a gap, I think like
159
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.600
a week or two, and then they come along.
160
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.919
So sled hockey.
161
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.440
Yes, yes, my cousin plays sled hockey.
162
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:40.200
She does.
163
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:46.759
She's on a team with you know, some people with disabilities,
164
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:52.279
some without, and of all ages and she has a blast.
165
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.919
She loves it. Yeah.
166
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.600
Anyway, yes, that would be something fun to watch in
167
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.639
the Paralympics. And we are the question and we had
168
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.879
asked in twenty eighteen was if you could go to
169
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.919
an event, what would you go to? And maybe your
170
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:09.639
answer is sled hockey. I don't know.
171
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.039
I think that's what I said back then. Okay, because
172
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:13.720
it would.
173
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:19.080
Be because I would want to support the Paralympics. All
174
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.200
the Paralympics sports are just sort of amazing what people
175
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:22.559
can do.
176
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:27.200
Yeah, the ski where you know amputees on skis where
177
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.440
they have just like one ski and.
178
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:34.720
Yeah yeah, and or the sled, you know, the all
179
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:39.000
sorts of different like the I guess like it's not
180
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.639
a sled, but it's like a ski thing you sit
181
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.120
on and then they flop down off of it to
182
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:49.320
do the shooting in the like the the biathbum Yeah, yeah,
183
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:50.360
it's cool anyway.
184
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:50.600
But the.
185
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:57.320
Winter Olympics that you've watched so far, what we know
186
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.080
what you would get tickets.
187
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.159
For yes, but I've been thinking about this, so I would,
188
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.960
of course want to see the figure skating because you know,
189
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:12.080
that's what I've been watching for the last fifteen years
190
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:17.679
of my life. But I also would want and also hockey.
191
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.639
I mean, I've been to many hockey games and that's
192
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:28.639
fun too. The thing is that I want to be inside,
193
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.200
Like I thought about this. If you're watching a ski race,
194
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.919
basically you're not going to see anything until the very end.
195
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.840
They're like a tiny speck coming down a hill and
196
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:45.200
you're standing outside in the colt and waiting for them
197
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.720
to whiz by you at you know, the speed of sound.
198
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:53.399
So that's not fun. Like I want to be inside
199
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.720
where I can sit down. Yes, I can not be
200
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:02.759
physically uncomfortable, and I can see everything. That's right because
201
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.799
if it's you know, cross country skiing, they're all going
202
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.200
on some kind of long course downhill skiing. Like I said,
203
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:18.879
they're a tiny speck lose again, tiny spack, So yeah,
204
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:22.440
I don't I don't think I would enjoy those things. Yeah,
205
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.559
I mean I would because it's the Olympics.
206
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.840
That's cool, but it's like if your kid was in
207
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.159
one of those events. Yes, if you're a parent, they're
208
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:36.320
watching the culmination of decades of training, right, Yes, you
209
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.759
want to be there watching it. Otherwise I would rather
210
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.320
watch it on TV. Yeah, but that's my that's me
211
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.279
with everything. I mean, I used to go to concerts
212
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.000
and now I'm like, yeah, you know what, I'll just
213
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.159
listen to the music online music.
214
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.720
I don't need to be there.
215
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.240
There's parking and the tickets are expensive, and you know,
216
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.360
it's a lot of work. Just watch stuff on TV,
217
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.360
watch these sports. You can turn off the sound if
218
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:05.600
you don't want to listen to the comedy.
219
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.120
I mean I do. I would want to go in person,
220
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:15.759
especially to the skating, Yeah, I mean I do. I
221
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.039
I think the Olympics would be very cool to see.
222
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.080
I mean, you know, the opening ceremonies are cool when
223
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.879
you know they're coming from all over. It's big production.
224
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.279
And I did see some very funny memes because I
225
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.440
don't know again, this is now several weeks ago, but
226
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:39.519
there was this whole part in the in the opening
227
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.320
ceremony where they had people dressed up like those little
228
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:49.919
Italian coffee pots, you know that, Like they had like
229
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.720
a big hat on that looks like the lid, and
230
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.759
you know those coffee pots where it's like a little
231
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.039
like almost like a platform and then the the coffee
232
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:02.840
pot part goes on top. I think it's technical called
233
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:07.399
the mocha pot. Okay, Anyway, they had people dressed up
234
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.159
as those things, and then you know, this was like
235
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.120
on a Friday, and then the two days later was
236
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.039
the Super Bowl and at the halftime show there were
237
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:22.360
people dressed up as sugarcane and so I saw me
238
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.960
and those like I wish I could stay, But after
239
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.120
I'm done with this coffee pot job, i gotta go
240
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:36.480
be grasses. Anyway, Yes, the opening and closing ceremonies I
241
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.639
think would be fun to watch.
242
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.639
Well, yeah, so.
243
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.679
There's there's a lot of cool yeah, just to it all.
244
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:51.840
I think the coolest part of the opening ceremonies is
245
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.600
the parade of the athletes, right, Like, there's a whole
246
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.639
lot of other stuff that goes on, but just seeing
247
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:08.000
the clothes, you know, each country outfits them, like the
248
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:13.720
Canadians this year. The brand that supplied the clothes is
249
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:19.960
lu Lu Lemon, and they have these like puffy vests
250
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:25.159
that are like capes, but they they zip up in
251
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.120
the front. But the back of it is like four
252
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:34.120
feet wide. It's wild, and it has a maple leaf
253
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:35.759
on the front. Like when you zip it up, it
254
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.440
completes the maple leafs. It's some.
255
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.519
You always wonder if any of these athletes go, I'm
256
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.200
not wearing that.
257
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:45.759
You have to wear that?
258
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.240
Do I?
259
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:47.799
Yes?
260
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.159
You do?
261
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.919
I think you do.
262
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:50.960
Yes.
263
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:57.440
I respect your extreme talent and your ability and your individuality.
264
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.600
But no, you got to wear the stupid outfit.
265
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.720
Yeah yeah, I just I had this particular Olympics. I
266
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.080
just haven't felt any need to watch any of it.
267
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.120
I don't know why, because I do like the ice
268
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:13.480
skating and or the ice dancing, and I know would
269
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:14.120
be fun to watch.
270
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.360
Are any of them destined for dancing with the stars?
271
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.240
Oh yeah, that's true. That's well, that's the one.
272
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.120
But see, you could do that work just by looking
273
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.759
at social media. Yeah, they'll pick somebody out and say
274
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.519
this guy, yeah, this scale. But yeah, they probably will
275
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.360
be somebody.
276
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:35.879
I think so of the American teams, you know, the
277
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:43.159
ones who got silver, may retire like they've been at this.
278
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.919
For a long long time, right, perfect time to go
279
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.480
and do so, that.
280
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.559
Would be a perfect time to go on dancing stars.
281
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.480
But if they don't or if you know, they're not
282
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:57.080
interested or whatever reason. The Canadian woman, Piper Gillis, she
283
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.879
seems like she would make an amazing Dancing with the Stars,
284
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.880
like I think she would be she'd be cool. Yeah,
285
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.920
so she has it. You know that song Vincent by
286
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:18.119
Don McLean, Oh, that was their free skate their long
287
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.279
program was to that is a sad song. Yeah, yeah,
288
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.680
but it was a beautiful performance and you know.
289
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.559
Beautiful those nice lines in it. That would be I
290
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.720
mean the way the music I can see somebody dancing.
291
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.079
So yeah, so she would.
292
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:41.680
Be my picure for Yeah, Okay, is there a guy, Yeah,
293
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:42.160
there's a guy.
294
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.680
He's fine, he can do it.
295
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:47.559
Yeah.
296
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:51.759
But yeah, in most of these the the guy is
297
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:53.039
just there too.
298
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:55.160
Yeah, show off the girl.
299
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:01.240
But who's the the I'm not gonna notice. He said
300
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:02.039
there was a Stephen.
301
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.440
Oh. I just saw that on Instagram, that there's a
302
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.720
curler that everyone is calling this year's this year's pommel
303
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.319
horse guy or this this Olympics pommelhorse guy. His name
304
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.240
was like Aiden Aiden Oldenburg.
305
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.559
Was that it is the American?
306
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.759
Yeah, well we gotta get him on Dancing with the Story.
307
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:31.920
Yeah, here's the uh here's the headline from the Guardian.
308
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:37.359
Move over. Pommelhorse guy USA's curling Rambo becomes cult hero
309
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:39.920
of Winter Olympics. They're calling him Rambo because he has
310
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:47.720
like a red headband. USA curler Aiden Oldenburg. He has
311
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:52.720
dark hair and glasses and everyone is like, is this

313
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.759
So yeah, there's they're they're already contacting him.
314
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.799
Yeah, Riley arnold needs.
315
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:17.359
Somebody sees her like in the background in the Olympics. Well, anyway,
316
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.279
good luck, good luck to them all. It would be
317
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:27.880
fun to have a curler because it's a pretty pretty
318
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:28.799
unsexy sport.
319
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.720
Yes, that would be fun to see, to see what
320
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:33.680
they do with that.
321
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.079
I love to dance moves in curling, and I.
322
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.839
Think a lot of people would say not a.
323
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:46.000
Lot of atlas, which makes it perfect for dancing with
324
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:48.039
the stars. You get them on there, they can they
325
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.759
can advocate for their weird sports.
326
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.319
Right, I love it.
327
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.680
Do people curl in your part of the country.
328
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:55.799
Yes, they do.
329
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.799
Do they Have you ever curled?
330
00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.599
I have not ever curled.
331
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.119
But have you been to a curling exhibition?
332
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.599
No? No, I haven't, but there I know where the
333
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.559
club is.
334
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.759
It's near the mall, you know where the curlers get together.
335
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.920
Oh my gosh.
336
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.920
My husband has gone as like it does.
337
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.319
Look like it takes a certain degree of adeptitude to
338
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:25.839
make this.
339
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:27.640
These things do what you want.
340
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:32.359
And I think some sort of flexibility. Yes, you know,
341
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.200
there's a lot of lunging. I think that goes on
342
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:41.000
so perfect for dan dance stars. Yeah, yeah, so the
343
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:48.000
dancing stars female pros are going all right, yeah, let's
344
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.200
draw straws curling you feel as like doing to dance
345
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:59.680
with lots of lunges. Well yeah, so by the time
346
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.400
you hear this, they're almost over. But you can definitely
347
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.480
watch the Paralympics coming up.
348
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.920
Yes, yes, and and think about what you would like
349
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.559
to go to if you could. If anything. My house
350
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:18.359
is very comfortable and I'm not that interested, so a
351
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.160
screen works well for me. But there was a time,
352
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:22.240
there was a time in my.
353
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.000
Life I absolutely would have gone for it to see
354
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:25.920
pretty much anything.
355
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.240
Yeah, when I was young and had energy and liked
356
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.680
liked leaving my house more than I do now. Right,
357
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:36.599
Could I bring a blanket to put over me when
358
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.279
I'm sitting this.
359
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.079
I'm sure you could?
360
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.319
You take a nap while I'm there, somebody come and
361
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:46.559
get me. Are there snacks? There's probably snacks.
362
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.559
Oh yeah, they're always showing people at the at the
363
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.079
hockey or the figures. You know, when they're in an arena,
364
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:53.559
there's concessions.
365
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.839
Yeah, for sure, that's true. That's true.
366
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.480
So you go up and you get your popcorn and soda,
367
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:00.519
and you come back and you missed somebody do something.
368
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.640
Well, that's why you have to go. When they're resurfacing.
369
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.559
Nice, Oh, there you go. But of course that's why
370
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:07.559
they resurface the ice.
371
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.599
That's when everybody goes. That's true.
372
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.079
So much easier just to watch it on TV or
373
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.039
you know, in streaming. You can watch it whenever you
374
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:18.200
want to. You can skip over the boring parts. Yep,
375
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:24.119
I am that lazy. More Olympic tickets for everybody else.
376
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.000
You're so nice that way.
377
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.200

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.960
Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow.
2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:07.960
And I'm Catherine Hileco.
3
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.759
Every Thursday, we're bringing you a library find, a pick
4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.919
from our archives, and a parenting or pop culture tidbit
5
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.600
or two. Let's start with Catherine's library find of.
6
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.519
The week this week, I have for you a book
7
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.440
that I think you could have used last week when
8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.960
you were frustrated with your dog. This is a book
9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.600
called The Bedtime Book for Dogs, and it is it
10
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.359
is meant to be you know, it's meant to be
11
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:45.759
read to your dog. I guess or yes, it's. The
12
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.280
description says, come, sit, stay, I want to tell you
13
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.520
a story. I think you'll like it. It's about a treat
14
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:58.920
and a good dog. Well, yes, so I thought that
15
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.039
was very cute. And the cover there's a cute puppy
16
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:07.400
with reading glasses and he's got a book. So I
17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.680
thought maybe that was something you could have used when, yeah,
18
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:16.120
your dog was being naughty and needed a little reset.
19
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.400
So you're supposed to sit down and read this with
20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.159
the dog. Yes, just to the dog, sure, yes, and
21
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:24.879
she will look up at you with big brown eyes
22
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.200
and say, may I have a treat?
23
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.159
This is very nice, but a treat would be better.
24
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.480
I think she's supposed to fall asleep.
25
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.879
Also, why are you sitting under this desk with me?
26
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.840
There's not enough room for both of us.
27
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.040
But I thought it was very charming and along. Yes,
28
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.280
it came out quite a long time ago, but it's
29
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.159
almost one of those precursors of sort of meta type
30
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.400
books where you're reading it to your kid and it's
31
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.879
supposed to get them going like, oh, but books aren't
32
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.640
for dogs, you know that sort of yes, you know
33
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.159
the book with no pictures, that kind of yeah. Or
34
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.760
the monster at the end of this book that I
35
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.360
love that book, Yeah, that was one of my faves.
36
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.360
So I thought that was clever. And then I did
37
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.520
want to follow up on a series that I've mentioned
38
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.479
twice already now, but in a true it was a
39
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.240
true library find where I was shelving and I came
40
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.719
across a book and I was like, oh, this is
41
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.240
the author of those books that I liked, the Mister
42
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.319
Darcy and Miss Tilney mysteries that were Jane Austen characters
43
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.360
brought into Cozy Mysteries. And there was a new one
44
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.479
that came out last summer, and I had no idea,
45
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.400
so I grabbed it and it was fun. It had
46
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:57.319
a duel in it, so duel. Yes, it had murders,
47
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:02.199
it had a duel, it had romance, so what.
48
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:02.800
More could you want?
49
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.840
More could you want? And there was actually an adoption
50
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.800
plot in it as well. So going going back to
51
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:17.879
our our Kate and Aaron discussion from yesterday, yes, there
52
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.879
was a person who you know very much wanted to
53
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:23.800
spoiler alert by the.
54
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.680
Way, close your ears if you're planning to hear this,
55
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.319
hit the fast forward button a little bit, not too far.
56
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.080
But there was somebody who was trying to conceive and
57
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:40.520
was having difficulty and ended up, you know, having the
58
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.080
opportunity to adopt a child. And at first was reluctant
59
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.280
because she felt like, is this just gonna remind me
60
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:55.159
that I couldn't I couldn't do this, But you know,
61
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.719
in the end of course she realized she said, I
62
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.000
asked the Lord to send me a child and he
63
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.159
did so.
64
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:04.599
Yes.
65
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.240
Anyway, so it was like, did somebody just hand you
66
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.800
a baby and say here, could you take.
67
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:10.599
The assist to hold this?
68
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.000
We don't know where his mother is. Nobody ever had
69
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.000
and nobody ever mentions Claire I know.
70
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.399
And when they when they said, like when Daniel asked,
71
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.800
is anybody of your group not accounted for? And they said, oh,
72
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.560
just Lock like no one else. No one said Claire.
73
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.199
So this is what happens once you lose your baby,
74
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.360
you guys, Once someone takes your baby, you are nobody
75
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:34.839
has any interest in you anymore.
76
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.759
Yes, So anyway, back to the book is called the
77
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.720
Rushworth family plot. If you are interested in those mister
78
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.319
Darcy and Miss Tilney mysteries. It is the fourth one.
79
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.519
So okay, and I.
80
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.439
Have now signed up for the author's substack so that
81
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.680
I can find out when the next one comes out,
82
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.839
because it's really left. I mean, it was a complete story,
83
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:06.800
but I'm wanting more and I don't want to be
84
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.680
eight months late to the party like I was on
85
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:10.079
this one.
86
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.279
So ah, yes, that's good. Yes, get those alerts.
87
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:15.920
Yes, exactly good.
88
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.680
Well, speaking of romance, Yes, for my random recommendation, I
89
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.480
am very late in this by the time you hear it,
90
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.399
I was late on it just because of our recording schedule.
91
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.319
I'm already late as I'm talking about it now. And
92
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.240
by the time you hear this in another week, you're
93
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.519
gonna be going, why is she talking about that? Although
94
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.240
I don't think it'll be over because I just want
95
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.240
to say, for anybody who feels in need of a
96
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.399
rom com right now but doesn't have a lot of time,
97
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:55.279
may I recommend to you from Taylor Swift, which in
98
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:01.439
about six minutes tells a complete, adorable romantic.
99
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:08.040
Story and it's just delightful. Have you seen it? No, Catherine?
100
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.120
No Ah? Well, I love the song and when the
101
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.839
video came out, I don't necessarily run and watch music videos,
102
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.680
even from people I like, but I started seeing pictures
103
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:17.959
of this thing and I said, I have to check
104
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.160
this out. And the origin of it was that Taylor
105
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.000
Swift was on the Graham Norton Show, which I guess
106
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.279
is a big talk show in England.
107
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.759
Yeah, I've seen clips of that.
108
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.680
And all the people who are on the show that
109
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.199
day sit on a couch together and Domino Gleason, actor
110
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.160
was on it, and their joke was made about his
111
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.920
dancing and he said, oh, I'm hoping to get it
112
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.199
in a Taylor Swift video, and she kind of looked
113
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.079
like oh. And then we come upon this video which
114
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.519
has actually not only him but everybody who was on
115
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:59.040
the show with her Oh Graham Norton in various cameo appearances.
116
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.720
He is like the lonely guy and she is the
117
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.000
lonely girl. And also featured in the video are various
118
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.480
of the era's tour dancers and in the role of
119
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.160
various unsatisfactory love interests. We have a rock, a cactus,
120
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:19.120
a stapler and a can of garbage, but the two
121
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.519
lonely people find each other and match each other's oddness
122
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.560
just adorably. And really it is a six minute rom
123
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.480
com that I think is fairly irresistible.
124
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.279
I've watched it a number of times.
125
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.639
Also a very good song, so I very much recommend
126
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.959
checking that out. It started out when it was first released,
127
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.079
it was only on Apple Music and Spotify Premium, I think,
128
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.959
But now it's on YouTube. It's everywhere, so easy to
129
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.800
watch and rewatch and then watch again because it's so
130
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.639
cute and so funny, And then you can go on
131
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.800
to social media and read about who everybody is imagining
132
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.040
Rock and the cactus stop the can of garbage were
133
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.160
in real life, right, Not too hard to figure out
134
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.480
a couple of them, right, But uh, but anyway, I
135
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.120
will say, if you watch it on YouTube, which usually
136
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.519
puts a commercial before anything you watch. Be aware that
137
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.759
the video itself starts with a mock infomercial. And if
138
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.560
you're watching it, you know, you might think that it's
139
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.120
something to skip over, but no, on once it looks
140
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.519
like something from the nineties, some cheesy infomercial for the
141
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.399
product called opal Light. That's that's why you want to
142
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.840
turn yes. And you can see John jan who is
143
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.799
on uh we say see Jan Yon. We see Yan
144
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:47.279
who is on Dancing with the Stars briefly there. So anyway, okay, delightful,
145
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.600
just delightful. I'm gonna go watch it again.
146
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:50.159
After we're done here.
147
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:56.679
So cutey, such a cute little wrong call and h
148
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.399
is there anything cute to discuss in our archive topic?
149
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.759
Well, the Winter Olympics we have. They are of course
150
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:08.919
going on right now.
151
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.360
We have Will they be going on when people are
152
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:10.960
listening to this?
153
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:11.960
Yeah?
154
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:12.679
Does it last?
155
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:19.399
Yeah? It goes into like February twenty first twenty seconds.
156
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.720
And then afterwards we'll pre presumably be the Paralympics, right, Yeah,
157
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.559
I think there's a lesson you should watch them.
158
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.639
There's a little bit of a gap, I think like
159
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.600
a week or two, and then they come along.
160
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.919
So sled hockey.
161
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.440
Yes, yes, my cousin plays sled hockey.
162
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:40.200
She does.
163
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:46.759
She's on a team with you know, some people with disabilities,
164
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:52.279
some without, and of all ages and she has a blast.
165
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.919
She loves it. Yeah.
166
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.600
Anyway, yes, that would be something fun to watch in
167
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.639
the Paralympics. And we are the question and we had
168
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.879
asked in twenty eighteen was if you could go to
169
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.919
an event, what would you go to? And maybe your
170
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:09.639
answer is sled hockey. I don't know.
171
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.039
I think that's what I said back then. Okay, because
172
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:13.720
it would.
173
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:19.080
Be because I would want to support the Paralympics. All
174
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.200
the Paralympics sports are just sort of amazing what people
175
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:22.559
can do.
176
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:27.200
Yeah, the ski where you know amputees on skis where
177
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.440
they have just like one ski and.
178
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:34.720
Yeah yeah, and or the sled, you know, the all
179
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:39.000
sorts of different like the I guess like it's not
180
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.639
a sled, but it's like a ski thing you sit
181
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.120
on and then they flop down off of it to
182
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:49.320
do the shooting in the like the the biathbum Yeah, yeah,
183
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:50.360
it's cool anyway.
184
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:50.600
But the.
185
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:57.320
Winter Olympics that you've watched so far, what we know
186
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.080
what you would get tickets.
187
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.159
For yes, but I've been thinking about this, so I would,
188
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.960
of course want to see the figure skating because you know,
189
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:12.080
that's what I've been watching for the last fifteen years
190
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:17.679
of my life. But I also would want and also hockey.
191
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.639
I mean, I've been to many hockey games and that's
192
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:28.639
fun too. The thing is that I want to be inside,
193
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.200
Like I thought about this. If you're watching a ski race,
194
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.919
basically you're not going to see anything until the very end.
195
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.840
They're like a tiny speck coming down a hill and
196
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:45.200
you're standing outside in the colt and waiting for them
197
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.720
to whiz by you at you know, the speed of sound.
198
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:53.399
So that's not fun. Like I want to be inside
199
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.720
where I can sit down. Yes, I can not be
200
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:02.759
physically uncomfortable, and I can see everything. That's right because
201
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.799
if it's you know, cross country skiing, they're all going
202
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.200
on some kind of long course downhill skiing. Like I said,
203
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:18.879
they're a tiny speck lose again, tiny spack, So yeah,
204
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:22.440
I don't I don't think I would enjoy those things. Yeah,
205
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.559
I mean I would because it's the Olympics.
206
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.840
That's cool, but it's like if your kid was in
207
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.159
one of those events. Yes, if you're a parent, they're
208
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:36.320
watching the culmination of decades of training, right, Yes, you
209
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.759
want to be there watching it. Otherwise I would rather
210
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.320
watch it on TV. Yeah, but that's my that's me
211
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.279
with everything. I mean, I used to go to concerts
212
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.000
and now I'm like, yeah, you know what, I'll just
213
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.159
listen to the music online music.
214
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.720
I don't need to be there.
215
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.240
There's parking and the tickets are expensive, and you know,
216
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.360
it's a lot of work. Just watch stuff on TV,
217
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.360
watch these sports. You can turn off the sound if
218
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:05.600
you don't want to listen to the comedy.
219
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.120
I mean I do. I would want to go in person,
220
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:15.759
especially to the skating, Yeah, I mean I do. I
221
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.039
I think the Olympics would be very cool to see.
222
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.080
I mean, you know, the opening ceremonies are cool when
223
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.879
you know they're coming from all over. It's big production.
224
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.279
And I did see some very funny memes because I
225
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.440
don't know again, this is now several weeks ago, but
226
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:39.519
there was this whole part in the in the opening
227
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.320
ceremony where they had people dressed up like those little
228
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:49.919
Italian coffee pots, you know that, Like they had like
229
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.720
a big hat on that looks like the lid, and
230
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.759
you know those coffee pots where it's like a little
231
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.039
like almost like a platform and then the the coffee
232
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:02.840
pot part goes on top. I think it's technical called
233
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:07.399
the mocha pot. Okay, Anyway, they had people dressed up
234
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.159
as those things, and then you know, this was like
235
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.120
on a Friday, and then the two days later was
236
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.039
the Super Bowl and at the halftime show there were
237
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:22.360
people dressed up as sugarcane and so I saw me
238
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.960
and those like I wish I could stay, But after
239
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.120
I'm done with this coffee pot job, i gotta go
240
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:36.480
be grasses. Anyway, Yes, the opening and closing ceremonies I
241
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.639
think would be fun to watch.
242
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.639
Well, yeah, so.
243
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.679
There's there's a lot of cool yeah, just to it all.
244
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:51.840
I think the coolest part of the opening ceremonies is
245
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.600
the parade of the athletes, right, Like, there's a whole
246
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.639
lot of other stuff that goes on, but just seeing
247
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:08.000
the clothes, you know, each country outfits them, like the
248
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:13.720
Canadians this year. The brand that supplied the clothes is
249
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:19.960
lu Lu Lemon, and they have these like puffy vests
250
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:25.159
that are like capes, but they they zip up in
251
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.120
the front. But the back of it is like four
252
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:34.120
feet wide. It's wild, and it has a maple leaf
253
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:35.759
on the front. Like when you zip it up, it
254
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.440
completes the maple leafs. It's some.
255
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.519
You always wonder if any of these athletes go, I'm
256
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.200
not wearing that.
257
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:45.759
You have to wear that?
258
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.240
Do I?
259
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:47.799
Yes?
260
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.159
You do?
261
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.919
I think you do.
262
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:50.960
Yes.
263
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:57.440
I respect your extreme talent and your ability and your individuality.
264
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.600
But no, you got to wear the stupid outfit.
265
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.720
Yeah yeah, I just I had this particular Olympics. I
266
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.080
just haven't felt any need to watch any of it.
267
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.120
I don't know why, because I do like the ice
268
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:13.480
skating and or the ice dancing, and I know would
269
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:14.120
be fun to watch.
270
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.360
Are any of them destined for dancing with the stars?
271
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.240
Oh yeah, that's true. That's well, that's the one.
272
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.120
But see, you could do that work just by looking
273
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.759
at social media. Yeah, they'll pick somebody out and say
274
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.519
this guy, yeah, this scale. But yeah, they probably will
275
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.360
be somebody.
276
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:35.879
I think so of the American teams, you know, the
277
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:43.159
ones who got silver, may retire like they've been at this.
278
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.919
For a long long time, right, perfect time to go
279
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.480
and do so, that.
280
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.559
Would be a perfect time to go on dancing stars.
281
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.480
But if they don't or if you know, they're not
282
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:57.080
interested or whatever reason. The Canadian woman, Piper Gillis, she
283
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.879
seems like she would make an amazing Dancing with the Stars,
284
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.880
like I think she would be she'd be cool. Yeah,
285
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.920
so she has it. You know that song Vincent by
286
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:18.119
Don McLean, Oh, that was their free skate their long
287
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.279
program was to that is a sad song. Yeah, yeah,
288
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.680
but it was a beautiful performance and you know.
289
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.559
Beautiful those nice lines in it. That would be I
290
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.720
mean the way the music I can see somebody dancing.
291
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.079
So yeah, so she would.
292
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:41.680
Be my picure for Yeah, Okay, is there a guy, Yeah,
293
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:42.160
there's a guy.
294
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.680

good luck, good luck to them all. It would be
317
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:27.880
fun to have a curler because it's a pretty pretty
318
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:28.799
unsexy sport.
319
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.720
Yes, that would be fun to see, to see what
320
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:33.680
they do with that.
321
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.079
I love to dance moves in curling, and I.
322
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.839
Think a lot of people would say not a.
323
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:46.000
Lot of atlas, which makes it perfect for dancing with
324
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:48.039
the stars. You get them on there, they can they
325
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.759
can advocate for their weird sports.
326
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.319
Right, I love it.
327
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.680
Do people curl in your part of the country.
328
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:55.799
Yes, they do.
329
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.799
Do they Have you ever curled?
330
00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.599
I have not ever curled.
331
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.119
But have you been to a curling exhibition?
332
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.599
No? No, I haven't, but there I know where the
333
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.559
club is.
334
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.759
It's near the mall, you know where the curlers get together.
335
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.920
Oh my gosh.
336
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.920
My husband has gone as like it does.
337
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.319
Look like it takes a certain degree of adeptitude to
338
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:25.839
make this.
339
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:27.640
These things do what you want.
340
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:32.359
And I think some sort of flexibility. Yes, you know,
341
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.200
there's a lot of lunging. I think that goes on
342
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:41.000
so perfect for dan dance stars. Yeah, yeah, so the
343
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:48.000
dancing stars female pros are going all right, yeah, let's
344
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.200
draw straws curling you feel as like doing to dance
345
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:59.680
with lots of lunges. Well yeah, so by the time
346
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.400
you hear this, they're almost over. But you can definitely
347
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.480
watch the Paralympics coming up.
348
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.920
Yes, yes, and and think about what you would like
349
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.559
to go to if you could. If anything. My house
350
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:18.359
is very comfortable and I'm not that interested, so a
351
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.160
screen works well for me. But there was a time,
352
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:22.240
there was a time in my.
353
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.000
Life I absolutely would have gone for it to see
354
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:25.920
pretty much anything.
355
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.240
Yeah, when I was young and had energy and liked
356
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.680
liked leaving my house more than I do now. Right,
357
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:36.599
Could I bring a blanket to put over me when
358
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.279
I'm sitting this.
359
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.079
I'm sure you could?
360
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.319
You take a nap while I'm there, somebody come and
361
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:46.559
get me. Are there snacks? There's probably snacks.
362
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.559
Oh yeah, they're always showing people at the at the
363
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.079
hockey or the figures. You know, when they're in an arena,
364
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:53.559
there's concessions.
365
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.839
Yeah, for sure, that's true. That's true.
366
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.480
So you go up and you get your popcorn and soda,
367
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:00.519
and you come back and you missed somebody do something.
368
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.640
Well, that's why you have to go. When they're resurfacing.
369
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.559
Nice, Oh, there you go. But of course that's why
370
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:07.559
they resurface the ice.
371
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.599
That's when everybody goes. That's true.
372
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.079
So much easier just to watch it on TV or
373
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.039
you know, in streaming. You can watch it whenever you
374
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:18.200
want to. You can skip over the boring parts. Yep,
375
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:24.119
I am that lazy. More Olympic tickets for everybody else.
376
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.000
