Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am all in again.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh you Gillmore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo,
an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Welcome to another episode of Parenthood. This is season in two,
episode three.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Speaking of having a second baby, how's your situation?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You know?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
The only thing I can say. And I feel like
this is a common thread with people that I've talked
about talked to about having their second Maybe it's I
don't know, maybe it's just my friends.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You don't like this pregnancy has gone.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
By so so so fast because I do not have
time to process it. I still don't think in this
moment says that I'm crazy.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
You're laughing, I could hear you. Do you think you're
not even really pregnant?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
No, I like, in this moment, I just still have
not processed that I'm pregnant. It's just one of those
things that like, you know, you run, you have a
toddler that you're running around and is keeping you very
very preoccupied.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I have work, I have.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Family, I have all these things happening right now that
I like just have not processed.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I'm currently pregnant.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And very much what's gonna happen when the kid comes out, I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Then I'm gonna realize I'm pregnant.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Like honestly, it's just one of those things that with
my first pregnancy, I was looking at the app every
single day. I knew the exact size fruit, I knew
how much the baby wade, what was going on in
my body at that time, and.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I exact sise fruit.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
And I literally have to process every time I go
to the doctor.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'm like, how many weeks a long? Am? I?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
What? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I'm supposed to have a baby in September?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
What do you know? The name?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
No, my husband has a meme that he is like
set on and I am not set on.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And so do you like it a little?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I like it a little? I like it a little.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Oh wow, that's not going to be the name.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I like the first name, and he's like very set
on the second name.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Oh well, that's okay. Then you can go with the
first and then change the middle.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I know, but even the first name is not one
hundred percent for me. I like it, I like it.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
This is uncomfortable. This is uncomfortable for me.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So here's the question.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
If you use that name, are you going to admit
that it was the name that you weren't totally comfortable
with at first.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah, I will, I will, and and I'll explain to everyone.
Why then not now then because I don't know if
it's it yet.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
If it does become it, then then I like.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Did Matteo have a backup name?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Matteo did have a backup name? I always liked Mateo
from day one. That was on my list that like
I've had in my notes app on my phone for
like years, and John just happened to like that name.
So like we always knew Mittoilla was like the top.
It was always the second name that kind of was like,
what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I call it a middle name, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Middle name whatever, however you want to call it, same.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Thing whatever, Right, Okay, let's not get two sideways. So
this this leads us perfectly to Joel and Julia, which
I was like all kinds of relatable to Joel.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I mean, for speak, not to make this all about me,
because this for the first five minutes of this episode
I had been about me.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, it's totally fine.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Make it like that's the whole point of paranoid is,
like you go, oh, who am I relating to?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I can can completely relate to Joel, and the reason
being is and Amy, you were there in the trenches
with me. And I don't want to seem like a
brat saying this because I like, I totally like understand
that people like dream to be pregnant when they can't.
(04:21):
The day I found out I was pregnant, I cried
for like twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I straighted cried. I was not ready to be pregnant. Again.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's the old the blueprint doesn't match what's happening.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
And one of the things.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That I'll never forget, Oh, I'll get emotional saying it,
is that you said to me you wanted in your mind,
the plan was to have more solo time with Matteo
before I had a sibling. And I think, well, that
was one of many things, but I think that really
(04:56):
it just you had this plan and that it was
completely taken sideways, and I really felt for you at that.
I was like, oh, I never really I never understood
something as clear as I did when you said that.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
I was like, Wow, it's powerful.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
That is totally like sixty percent of it. The other
forty percent is what Joel was saying, is uh in
his situation, he's the one that has to handle the
everything everything right. And it's like I was at the
point in you know, having a toddler where I was
(05:33):
just getting myself back and.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know, a really good groove and like right back
into work.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
And like Joel, as we see, he's like starting to
get that spark back for work and he's starting to
be able to get yeah, to be himself and to
be who he was before a babe. Yeah, right, And
so you know, the other forty percent of me crying
for twenty four hours was literally understand that now I'm
(06:02):
back in the fricking trenches again, and like it starts
today because I have to be pregnant.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I get it, because I couldn't do the job we
do with kids.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I just know I couldn't. Like I couldn't. I could,
I could, but I would be bad at everything, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Like, yeah, and that is so like I understand that,
and I understand Joel. And I love that the stereotypical
roles are reversed.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Right too.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I appreciate that a lot so.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Compelling, right, it makes it so compelling. And you also
become aware that he has a career, he has all
these things, and it just happened to be that he
made less money so that it made sense for them
that he would be the stay at home daddad. Yeah
you know, now why they didn't go the nanny route,
(07:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I know know I had that thought in my brain too, because.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Juliet they wanted to stay at home parent and maybe yeah, like, look,
they're kind. They do address the economy in parenthood of
the time, right, they they bring it up regularly. I
think this is when when it came out. I think
the economy kind of like pooped the bucket, right, It
was like when all those people lost their homes, it
(07:27):
was like.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No, yeah, this was twenty ten, so this was after
that big.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Twenty banking thing happened, or like the housing crist all
that happened. And I like that they acknowledge it. So
there could have been too, Like maybe financially it didn't
make sense that suddenly, you know, you don't want to
pay more for the childcare than the person's making.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I get it, like it's all coating. That does seem
like she makes some dough.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And I also I also think with like a contractor position.
Like it is project based, right, so there could be
months not making a salary. There could be a year
where he's making millions of dollars and then two years
where he has no work.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
He seems very unbothered by the fact that, like she'll
take maternity leave.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Like she seems she's an interesting enigma that Julia.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
She is she is, And I don't know what the
future holds in this series like you did, I won't say.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
In my situation for watching it as a first timer.
At the moment, I am feeling like Joel's going to
be like I'm getting back into work and Julia's like,
I'm gonna take a year off and I'm just gonna well,
you'll see.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Shoot, so you've heard us talk about this, and I'm
gonna talk about.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
It again because they're they're pretty dang awesome. I have
to say, like the tone of leggings that you've heard
us talk about, and.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
They are comfortable, they.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Are buttery, buttery.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Sexy, like they really make my butt.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
I have to say, like pretty good, pretty good, right,
like and I don't always feel that way, And it's pretty.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Good and no, I'm gonna I'm gonna second that. I mean,
I am only living in ath leisure right now. And
I will say my previousth leisure was a little drappy.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You can get a little drabby drab, yeah yeah, not you,
but meaning you.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
All of you.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah yeah, but you all get a little.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Lazy and get a little lazy.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
This requires no effort.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
And they're not uncomfortable. You know.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Look, I have leggings that can be a little tidy
tight on certain parts.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Mm hmm, and these are not that.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
They were really comfortable, really comfortable on my stomach, comfortable,
and they look good. They're I wear them with my
cute sneakers like an outfit.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Exactly my point. They are you put them on, you
still feel comfortable, but they look cute.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
They look really not the kind of leggings where you're like,
I gotta wear a big baggy sweatshirt to cover my butt.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's like, nope, I'll wear show off the butt, show off.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
But I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Afraid of like a shirt like I'm not you look, guys,
I'm not cruising around in some crop top like like
the young ones.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
But but if you want to, you can, well, I
do not, but I mean I want to, but I
don't want to.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
No.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I think the ton of leggings are really really.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Great, and I think you should try it for yourself,
like honestly, like and tell us what you think.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Try them for yourself.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
All you have to do is head a ton of
active dot com and use the code iHeart I h
eart for twenty per percent off and free shipping ding
ding ding ding ding, and like.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
If they're good enough for bellahadid, they're good enough for me.
He KILLO.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I also look Julia the reason she's so good at
her career and like she's sort of the you know,
I think they allude to she was class president, and
like I love when Dax and Laura and Graham are
like the nerds over there.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Because you definitely get that, like.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Dax and Sarah Braverman are sort of a little bit
more in sync, and then there's Adam and Julia who
are like the class president and and they refer to
them as the nerds.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Like the dynamic is funny.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
One thing before we move on from Julia and Joel
that I thought was super powerful is at the end
when they're like laying in bed and Joel's basically like,
I'm open to having another baby.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, but his condition is only they go into it
as a team, and that he's not just a yes man.
I thought that was really powerful.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah, they do seem like a solid couple.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Although he what did you think when she was you know,
when he sat he said, sit down, and he sort
of was so angry.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I get it he was. He was all in his feels.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I would say, well, because I think at that point
he hadn't and he was in his fields. Because Julia
told Adam we're having another baby, and Adam's like, congrats, Joel,
I heard you guys are right.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I mean, my thing is like they're not actually having
another baby until they both are participating in that.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Right, But Julia phrased it a completely different way. And
I get Joel's frustration because he was very much like.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'm not sure. You know what I mean, I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And for her to go tell her brother or I
another baby means that she did not consider what he
told her, right, and.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Like, look, also, you know it's complicated, right, And I
thought it was really like when he's like, ah, preschool again,
you know, all the drama politics, and like, look, work
is not easy, but raising kids is like way harder.
I will be the first to admit it, like because
(13:17):
I can just sort of like, you know, you can work,
it's just raising kids is twenty four to seven. Yeah, work,
even if you have the gnarliest job.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
On the planet, isn't it just isn't.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
No.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I say this all the time. Whenever I go to work,
it's it's a eight like.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Eight hours of vacation.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Like it's like being raising kids is.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Just it's so hard. It is really really no gnarly.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I always say it's like we have this concert called
Wango Tango and it's like really really hard, right, Like
you work all day, you're on your feet, you're going,
it's non stop.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
I'm always like, raising kids.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Is like Wango tank go every day. Like it's just
so gnarly.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Any Way, that was a good storyline, and you know
it was it was buttoned up a little maybe too quick,
but it was it was good.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It was very powerful. All the elements of that were
very powerful.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
How about the girl from Girls being the friend?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Did you see that Girls?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Ambers? I never watched it, but.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I watched Girls. It was great, and I didn't know
it then, but wait, can someone say who it is? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think Zosha. She's amazing. In Girls, she's like really
tight with Lena Dunnam.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I actually think they might be like best friends from
growing up, but I might be maybe they went to
college together.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
First of all, she was like it was. I was
so like, oh my god, there she is. I feel
like a cutie. Who's the cutie at work that hooks up?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
He is very cute.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
I'm like, I like Sarah Braman, you have got to
jump on that is it was his character, Mike, because
I think it was Kevin Alejandro if I if, I am, yes.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
It is Kevin Alejandro. I knew he was in Fire Country.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah he's in Fire Country.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yeah it is. I knew he was famous.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I was like, that guy's famous, cute, whole thing, real cute. Yeah,
he looks so handsome. He saves the day. Then did
he like take her hand?
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I feel like that he did.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
He did understud He is such a stud.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
But I also was watching this storyline and I'm like,
oh my god. Even in Gilmore Girls and now in Parenthood,
you are Lauren Graham.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I hate to tell you it. Oh you you guys.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Like, thank you, that's so nice.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I know you don't have kids, but this is how
you are with your nieces. You take them to all
the cool stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
I like to think that I am Lauren Graham.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I mean, look, wait, do you get a celebrity doppelganger?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Like what celebrity do people say you?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Oh no, not really, I've gotten like which I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't understand this at all.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I have one that I that I that I get
that I used.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
To Lauren Graham.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I get Lauren Graham and I get Cheryl Crow, which
is look very Cheryl. I know, yeah, don't write it
and like you're not as hot as Cheryl Crow and
Lauren Graham, Like I get it, but like I get it.
I'm just telling you what the people of the earth say.
But I used to get I mean so much. It
was weird, like so much. Deborah Winger from Officer and
(16:43):
a gentleman.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Do you know that, lady Deborah Winger?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
No, you are definitely Lauren Graham. I think of all three,
Lauren Graham.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Is your big is is the closest.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Thank you. What do you get?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I mean, I've gotten like I've gotten weirdly, think weirdly.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Minka, I knew it.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I knew it.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I said it before you said it. Take note, I
knew it. It came right to me.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Gina Corano, Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, yeah, but Minka, I get Minka. I want to
talk about Minca in this episode.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Yeah, those are the two that I've gotten the most.
But I will take Minka Kelly and Gina Crano anything.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
First of all, Minka Kelly is so cool. She's so cool.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
So in this episode I thought it was interesting. She's
plays the character very well. Now I don't know if
that's how she is. I think I've only been around
her like a handful of times, but she plays it
very well.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
She's so calm, she says the right thing. I thought
Adam was like a little nuts, like with.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
The why not progress and it's like, bro, like do
you are you aware of what your kid?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
You know what I mean? Like? And I like that.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, She's like he's doing really well and like.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
And I guess, look, I don't know because I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Maybe that's how a parent would feel. It does feel
like Christina is more Uh.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
How do I say this? Progressed on this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
This is the one thing I'll say about this.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
And maybe this doesn't apply to everybody, but it applies
to my life.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So I'm going to say it.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
There's always one parent that has more patience than the other.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yea, oh, it just always is.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Right, Like I'm watching the storeline. I am one hundred
percent Christina. I'm like, no, trust the process. The doctors
are saying, there's all this progress, like we have to
do it on his.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Time, right, meet the person where they're at instead of
trying to make the person.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
My husband is Adam. He's like, no, dude, I don't
he's not talking to me. It's been months. What are
we doing?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Like I so I get it, I get it. I
get it, I get it.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I I did fear that I was going to go real, real,
real South.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Me too. He handled himself a lot better than I thought,
you know.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I thought, like when he came over and the stairs
and he's like joined the family, I was like, Okay,
he's trying, but he's accepting defeat. But then the car scene. Now,
I want to talk about the car scene. To me,
that looked like there was really a car on the
Bay Bridge, right, like I was like, this doesn't look
as cgi as when they went to Berkeley. Now, could
(19:28):
I be wrong?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Totally? I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Now I don't think they shot it on the bridge,
like I think the interior parts, but like the camp
the I mean, it wasn't a drone, but like that's
what it looks like the footage. It really looked like
the Bay Bridge. It really looked like the car was
going on the Bay Bridge. However they did that was really.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Good, right and I thought it was well played between
Adam and Max too, Like yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Now why they were on the Bay Bridge was befuddled me,
Like why are they going from Berkeley?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Where are they going?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Let's go, well, okay, in actuality, it would be like
they live in Berkeley.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
So I don't know why at night they would be going.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
From Berkeley to San Francisco or if they were in
Like that's what that bridge does. It takes you from
Berkeley to San Francisco. Why they would be doing that
at night unclear. It's like it's not like you pick
a kid up at school in Berkeley and you drive
across the bridge to get to Berkeley.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Like what so that bird was and it was night
times I was like, what are they doing?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
But I get it, like the people were probably like
we really want to establish San Francisco again, and that
they live in Berkeley in the Bay Area.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But I don't know where they were going.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh, were they going to their one on one dinner?
Was that what they were doing?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Yeah, but like I guess maybe I mean that, Yeah,
maybe they were going. Yeah, he did say he wanted up.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Maybe they're going to the dinner in the city.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Now that's a big old trip for a kid. But
maybe it's fall and the sun's going down at We'll.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Give him the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
There's some good restaurants in San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
We're going to say that they were on their way
to uh fog City Diner or something at the time.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Like Adam got him to open up in his way and.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, and I liked the treasurer and.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Why do you love pirates?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And like did you get treasure? Like that was real
cute and like it was good.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It was just really cute.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Did we have much with them, Pattie? Oh? Yeah, And
Gina is completely out of her mind.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And I laughed so hard when Hattie's like, don't cry,
like it was so good.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Also, like the book, It's like Hattie's not going to
read the book. She's not going to read a book
from a mom.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Look, I thought it was a good law in Christina,
right because she is so going over the top and
she does do that right that tracks and she's lost
her mind, like, and I love that Hattie's like f this,
Like Hattie just stands up to it.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
And I'm like, you go, Hattie, because your mom's acting nuts.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, she is acting nuts.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And then I love when she's not like she's like,
don't cry like and I did think that Adam could
have been a little bit more like, hey, Christina, are
you overstepping here? But he was so like mad at
Hattie a little bit, and Hattie just stood her ground,
you know, she's just like by losers. And then I
love that Max is like she gonna get a consequence
(22:42):
because it really feels like she deserves a consequence.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Like that whole thing was awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh I love Yeah, that was that was funny. Did
you run for her? I feel like you were assident.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
I always lost No.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I was like, and here's the thing I wasn't like
not popular, but I couldn't win those elections.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I always came in and I always came in second.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Like yeah, there'd be like a gogle of people, and
then I'd get to the down to the finals, and
then I lost, and then I was like, I don't
want to run.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
For this crap anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Yeah, so I went the cheerleader route and then I
went tennis, and I had a lot more success with that.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I don't think I ever knew that about you. I
knew you played tennis. I did not know you were
a cheerleader.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Oh that I was a cheerleader. Oh yeah, I love it,
little cheerleader. And then you couldn't do cheer and tennis.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
So I picked tennis. Yeah, I had more success there.
I thrived a lot more in the sorority.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Oh everybody should listen to our new show Dirty Rush
by the way, it's a very juicy. But yeah, I
like in the sorority, I won all that everything I ran.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
For I want.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, Like I wasn't like a loser,
but I wasn't like obviously I wasn't like popular enough
to win those elections.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Were you?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I feel like you were I feel like you were
secretary or vice president.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I did not do the like class school stuff I did.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I was and because you're like, you're not going to
just like you're not going to be like I want
to be the boss of this mess.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I just never never.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Activity what was your extra curricular.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I was a big jock, so I played softball. I
was on was.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Remember when you did marathons, guys, marathon.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
I was a big job back in my day. I
won a lot of championships. I did the whole thing right,
So that was like my big thing growing up. And
also in high school and it's year round. That's when
I wasn't when I was in season, I was training
or doing travel or club. So it was that was
my life.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Always did you basically get straight a's? Also?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I was an a B student. I wasn't straight a's.
I was a B. I had like a solid like
three eight three nine.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Yeah, that's very good. I was straight A until I
got to college.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Of course you were. Of course you were college.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
I was like, I'm just gonna have But.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
In college I was like you, I I'm because I
I I stop softball. I decided to stop it and
not pursue it in college. And when I was in college,
I was like, all right, well I got some free time,
let me try the sorority thing. And then I did
Zach and great Counsel, all the all the things I.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Liked, all that, all that, all right, who have we
not talked about? All right?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
We've got just Crosbie and you know, I'm conflicted here
missus Joy Bryant's mom.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
She's prickly, that lady. But we came around.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I just like, I just feel like Renee is her name,
and Jasmine.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Are bringing there well, Jazzin's father, Renee's ex husband, the
trauma with the dad. They're like unleashing it on Crosby.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Which is the way the world works, right behave So
it's written roll.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But the thing that, like I literally screamed at my
TV is Renee was like, well, you know my Jasmine's
dad last when he was young, and blah blah blah,
and Crosby was.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Like called her out.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I haven't I'm here and I'm not him. And I
called her out.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
The Braverman's call it out. It's like hattie, she's like
new and I like that about these people.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Also, look if we if Renee was perfect should be boring.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
It's good that she's so not perfect, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I first of all, I liked seek in this one
because he's all, can I just watch.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
The game, and he's like, James don't even know what's
going on?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I did.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
I you know, Renee is taking Jabbar to church and
Cross's church is baseball.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
And I found I like the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I found to be.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Really interesting because it's you know, I think I think
for Renee, you have a lot of those people that
are set in their ways right where church is the
thing and they don't see anything outside of that right.
And it's like, I feel like her character is growing
a lot right now with one trusting Crosby but to
(27:28):
seeing things in a different lens that may not be
her traditional norm.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
And like I do, they went to church, like I,
they're all working hard, right, Like Crosby is very he
is very pliable here. He is really doing what's right,
and I think he deserves credit for that. That being said,
it's like the grandma should not just be making all
these plans.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
The dad is the dad, Like I don't know, it's
a little it's good, it's the conflict is good. It's interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
My least favorite storyline in this episode, but like I
still like it.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Cute little pending there.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
We kind of brushed over this, but you know, sarahen Amber,
and Amber is friends with the cool girl that oh.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
My god in the mom and that Mercedes.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah who doesn't care? Ye as you can go out
to school.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
I I don't care to care. Yeah, the line was funny.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That was that was like, I really enjoyed that whole thing.
Great casting with the that my guy.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
This episode is great.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I always have a giggle, which is what I really
like about it. This show is not this is us,
Like it definitely has laughs. Like I have a good
giggle every episode.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I do too. I completely agree.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
I have yet to cry, so there's that, but I
have been in my fields. I have giggled, I laughed,
So I'm I'm waiting to take out the tissues.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
But feel like I shed some tears. I feel like
not not but just like a couple of tears have
definitely come down. I'm gonna give this a nine. I'm
got an eight point eight.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Maybe we have not got we have not dipped into
the aids.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yet it's very good.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
But I can't give them all nine like I feel
like sometimes I have to like, go, oh, this one
was still very.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Good, but I'll go nine three. I have nothing but
it it's great.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Do you love it more than Gilmore Girls? Yes? I do.
I do.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Wait too quick to answer, I'm gonna go no on that.
But yet it's not. It's a very good show.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Might argue it's better than Masel, better than Mazel.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I really hope I don't get hate for that, but yeah,
I did think you truth.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Do you miss fun Heads at all?
Speaker 4 (29:50):

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh you Gillmore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo,
an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Welcome to another episode of Parenthood. This is season in two,
episode three.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Speaking of having a second baby, how's your situation?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You know?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
The only thing I can say. And I feel like
this is a common thread with people that I've talked
about talked to about having their second Maybe it's I
don't know, maybe it's just my friends.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You don't like this pregnancy has gone.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
By so so so fast because I do not have
time to process it. I still don't think in this
moment says that I'm crazy.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
You're laughing, I could hear you. Do you think you're
not even really pregnant?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
No, I like, in this moment, I just still have
not processed that I'm pregnant. It's just one of those
things that like, you know, you run, you have a
toddler that you're running around and is keeping you very
very preoccupied.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I have work, I have.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Family, I have all these things happening right now that
I like just have not processed.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I'm currently pregnant.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And very much what's gonna happen when the kid comes out, I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Then I'm gonna realize I'm pregnant.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Like honestly, it's just one of those things that with
my first pregnancy, I was looking at the app every
single day. I knew the exact size fruit, I knew
how much the baby wade, what was going on in
my body at that time, and.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I exact sise fruit.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
And I literally have to process every time I go
to the doctor.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'm like, how many weeks a long? Am? I?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
What? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I'm supposed to have a baby in September?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
What do you know? The name?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
No, my husband has a meme that he is like
set on and I am not set on.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And so do you like it a little?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I like it a little? I like it a little.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Oh wow, that's not going to be the name.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I like the first name, and he's like very set
on the second name.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Oh well, that's okay. Then you can go with the
first and then change the middle.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I know, but even the first name is not one
hundred percent for me. I like it, I like it.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
This is uncomfortable. This is uncomfortable for me.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So here's the question.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
If you use that name, are you going to admit
that it was the name that you weren't totally comfortable
with at first.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah, I will, I will, and and I'll explain to everyone.
Why then not now then because I don't know if
it's it yet.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
If it does become it, then then I like.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Did Matteo have a backup name?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Matteo did have a backup name? I always liked Mateo
from day one. That was on my list that like
I've had in my notes app on my phone for
like years, and John just happened to like that name.
So like we always knew Mittoilla was like the top.
It was always the second name that kind of was like,
what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I call it a middle name, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Middle name whatever, however you want to call it, same.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Thing whatever, Right, Okay, let's not get two sideways. So
this this leads us perfectly to Joel and Julia, which
I was like all kinds of relatable to Joel.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I mean, for speak, not to make this all about me,
because this for the first five minutes of this episode
I had been about me.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, it's totally fine.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Make it like that's the whole point of paranoid is,
like you go, oh, who am I relating to?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I can can completely relate to Joel, and the reason
being is and Amy, you were there in the trenches
with me. And I don't want to seem like a
brat saying this because I like, I totally like understand
that people like dream to be pregnant when they can't.
(04:21):
The day I found out I was pregnant, I cried
for like twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I straighted cried. I was not ready to be pregnant. Again.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's the old the blueprint doesn't match what's happening.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
And one of the things.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That I'll never forget, Oh, I'll get emotional saying it,
is that you said to me you wanted in your mind,
the plan was to have more solo time with Matteo
before I had a sibling. And I think, well, that
was one of many things, but I think that really
(04:56):
it just you had this plan and that it was
completely taken sideways, and I really felt for you at that.
I was like, oh, I never really I never understood
something as clear as I did when you said that.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
I was like, Wow, it's powerful.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
That is totally like sixty percent of it. The other
forty percent is what Joel was saying, is uh in
his situation, he's the one that has to handle the
everything everything right. And it's like I was at the
point in you know, having a toddler where I was
(05:33):
just getting myself back and.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know, a really good groove and like right back
into work.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
And like Joel, as we see, he's like starting to
get that spark back for work and he's starting to
be able to get yeah, to be himself and to
be who he was before a babe. Yeah, right, And
so you know, the other forty percent of me crying
for twenty four hours was literally understand that now I'm
(06:02):
back in the fricking trenches again, and like it starts
today because I have to be pregnant.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I get it, because I couldn't do the job we
do with kids.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I just know I couldn't. Like I couldn't. I could,
I could, but I would be bad at everything, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Like, yeah, and that is so like I understand that,
and I understand Joel. And I love that the stereotypical
roles are reversed.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Right too.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I appreciate that a lot so.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Compelling, right, it makes it so compelling. And you also
become aware that he has a career, he has all
these things, and it just happened to be that he
made less money so that it made sense for them
that he would be the stay at home daddad. Yeah
you know, now why they didn't go the nanny route,
(07:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I know know I had that thought in my brain too, because.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Juliet they wanted to stay at home parent and maybe yeah, like, look,
they're kind. They do address the economy in parenthood of
the time, right, they they bring it up regularly. I
think this is when when it came out. I think
the economy kind of like pooped the bucket, right, It
was like when all those people lost their homes, it
(07:27):
was like.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No, yeah, this was twenty ten, so this was after
that big.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Twenty banking thing happened, or like the housing crist all
that happened. And I like that they acknowledge it. So
there could have been too, Like maybe financially it didn't
make sense that suddenly, you know, you don't want to
pay more for the childcare than the person's making.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I get it, like it's all coating. That does seem
like she makes some dough.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And I also I also think with like a contractor position.
Like it is project based, right, so there could be
months not making a salary. There could be a year
where he's making millions of dollars and then two years
where he has no work.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
He seems very unbothered by the fact that, like she'll
take maternity leave.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Like she seems she's an interesting enigma that Julia.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
She is she is, And I don't know what the
future holds in this series like you did, I won't say.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
In my situation for watching it as a first timer.
At the moment, I am feeling like Joel's going to
be like I'm getting back into work and Julia's like,
I'm gonna take a year off and I'm just gonna well,
you'll see.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Shoot, so you've heard us talk about this, and I'm
gonna talk about.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
It again because they're they're pretty dang awesome. I have
to say, like the tone of leggings that you've heard
us talk about, and.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
They are comfortable, they.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Are buttery, buttery.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Sexy, like they really make my butt.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
I have to say, like pretty good, pretty good, right,
like and I don't always feel that way, And it's pretty.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Good and no, I'm gonna I'm gonna second that. I mean,
I am only living in ath leisure right now. And
I will say my previousth leisure was a little drappy.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You can get a little drabby drab, yeah yeah, not you,
but meaning you.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
All of you.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah yeah, but you all get a little.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Lazy and get a little lazy.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
This requires no effort.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
And they're not uncomfortable. You know.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Look, I have leggings that can be a little tidy
tight on certain parts.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Mm hmm, and these are not that.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
They were really comfortable, really comfortable on my stomach, comfortable,
and they look good. They're I wear them with my
cute sneakers like an outfit.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Exactly my point. They are you put them on, you
still feel comfortable, but they look cute.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
They look really not the kind of leggings where you're like,
I gotta wear a big baggy sweatshirt to cover my butt.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's like, nope, I'll wear show off the butt, show off.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
But I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Afraid of like a shirt like I'm not you look, guys,
I'm not cruising around in some crop top like like
the young ones.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
But but if you want to, you can, well, I
do not, but I mean I want to, but I
don't want to.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
No.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I think the ton of leggings are really really.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Great, and I think you should try it for yourself,
like honestly, like and tell us what you think.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Try them for yourself.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
All you have to do is head a ton of
active dot com and use the code iHeart I h
eart for twenty per percent off and free shipping ding
ding ding ding ding, and like.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
If they're good enough for bellahadid, they're good enough for me.
He KILLO.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I also look Julia the reason she's so good at
her career and like she's sort of the you know,
I think they allude to she was class president, and
like I love when Dax and Laura and Graham are
like the nerds over there.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Because you definitely get that, like.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Dax and Sarah Braverman are sort of a little bit
more in sync, and then there's Adam and Julia who
are like the class president and and they refer to
them as the nerds.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Like the dynamic is funny.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
One thing before we move on from Julia and Joel
that I thought was super powerful is at the end
when they're like laying in bed and Joel's basically like,
I'm open to having another baby.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, but his condition is only they go into it
as a team, and that he's not just a yes man.
I thought that was really powerful.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah, they do seem like a solid couple.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Although he what did you think when she was you know,
when he sat he said, sit down, and he sort
of was so angry.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I get it he was. He was all in his feels.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I would say, well, because I think at that point
he hadn't and he was in his fields. Because Julia
told Adam we're having another baby, and Adam's like, congrats, Joel,
I heard you guys are right.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I mean, my thing is like they're not actually having
another baby until they both are participating in that.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Right, But Julia phrased it a completely different way. And
I get Joel's frustration because he was very much like.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'm not sure. You know what I mean, I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And for her to go tell her brother or I
another baby means that she did not consider what he
told her, right, and.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Like, look, also, you know it's complicated, right, And I
thought it was really like when he's like, ah, preschool again,
you know, all the drama politics, and like, look, work
is not easy, but raising kids is like way harder.
I will be the first to admit it, like because
(13:17):
I can just sort of like, you know, you can work,
it's just raising kids is twenty four to seven. Yeah, work,
even if you have the gnarliest job.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
On the planet, isn't it just isn't.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
No.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I say this all the time. Whenever I go to work,
it's it's a eight like.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Eight hours of vacation.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Like it's like being raising kids is.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Just it's so hard. It is really really no gnarly.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I always say it's like we have this concert called
Wango Tango and it's like really really hard, right, Like
you work all day, you're on your feet, you're going,
it's non stop.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
I'm always like, raising kids.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Is like Wango tank go every day. Like it's just
so gnarly.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Any Way, that was a good storyline, and you know
it was it was buttoned up a little maybe too quick,
but it was it was good.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It was very powerful. All the elements of that were
very powerful.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
How about the girl from Girls being the friend?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Did you see that Girls?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Ambers? I never watched it, but.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I watched Girls. It was great, and I didn't know
it then, but wait, can someone say who it is? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think Zosha. She's amazing. In Girls, she's like really
tight with Lena Dunnam.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I actually think they might be like best friends from
growing up, but I might be maybe they went to
college together.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
First of all, she was like it was. I was
so like, oh my god, there she is. I feel
like a cutie. Who's the cutie at work that hooks up?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
He is very cute.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
I'm like, I like Sarah Braman, you have got to
jump on that is it was his character, Mike, because
I think it was Kevin Alejandro if I if, I am, yes.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
It is Kevin Alejandro. I knew he was in Fire Country.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah he's in Fire Country.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yeah it is. I knew he was famous.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I was like, that guy's famous, cute, whole thing, real cute. Yeah,
he looks so handsome. He saves the day. Then did
he like take her hand?
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I feel like that he did.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
He did understud He is such a stud.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
But I also was watching this storyline and I'm like,
oh my god. Even in Gilmore Girls and now in Parenthood,
you are Lauren Graham.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I hate to tell you it. Oh you you guys.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Like, thank you, that's so nice.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I know you don't have kids, but this is how
you are with your nieces. You take them to all
the cool stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
I like to think that I am Lauren Graham.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I mean, look, wait, do you get a celebrity doppelganger?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Like what celebrity do people say you?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Oh no, not really, I've gotten like which I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't understand this at all.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I have one that I that I that I get
that I used.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
To Lauren Graham.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I get Lauren Graham and I get Cheryl Crow, which
is look very Cheryl. I know, yeah, don't write it
and like you're not as hot as Cheryl Crow and
Lauren Graham, Like I get it, but like I get it.
I'm just telling you what the people of the earth say.
But I used to get I mean so much. It
was weird, like so much. Deborah Winger from Officer and
(16:43):
a gentleman.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Do you know that, lady Deborah Winger?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
No, you are definitely Lauren Graham. I think of all three,
Lauren Graham.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Is your big is is the closest.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Thank you. What do you get?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I mean, I've gotten like I've gotten weirdly, think weirdly.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Minka, I knew it.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I knew it.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I said it before you said it. Take note, I
knew it. It came right to me.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Gina Corano, Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, yeah, but Minka, I get Minka. I want to
talk about Minca in this episode.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Yeah, those are the two that I've gotten the most.
But I will take Minka Kelly and Gina Crano anything.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
First of all, Minka Kelly is so cool. She's so cool.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
So in this episode I thought it was interesting. She's
plays the character very well. Now I don't know if
that's how she is. I think I've only been around
her like a handful of times, but she plays it
very well.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
She's so calm, she says the right thing. I thought
Adam was like a little nuts, like with.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
The why not progress and it's like, bro, like do
you are you aware of what your kid?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
You know what I mean? Like? And I like that.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, She's like he's doing really well and like.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
And I guess, look, I don't know because I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Maybe that's how a parent would feel. It does feel
like Christina is more Uh.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
How do I say this? Progressed on this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
This is the one thing I'll say about this.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
And maybe this doesn't apply to everybody, but it applies
to my life.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So I'm going to say it.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
There's always one parent that has more patience than the other.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yea, oh, it just always is.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Right, Like I'm watching the storeline. I am one hundred
percent Christina. I'm like, no, trust the process. The doctors
are saying, there's all this progress, like we have to
do it on his.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Time, right, meet the person where they're at instead of
trying to make the person.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
My husband is Adam. He's like, no, dude, I don't
he's not talking to me. It's been months. What are
we doing?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Like I so I get it, I get it. I
get it, I get it.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I I did fear that I was going to go real, real,
real South.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Me too. He handled himself a lot better than I thought,
you know.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I thought, like when he came over and the stairs
and he's like joined the family, I was like, Okay,
he's trying, but he's accepting defeat. But then the car scene. Now,
I want to talk about the car scene. To me,
that looked like there was really a car on the
Bay Bridge, right, like I was like, this doesn't look
as cgi as when they went to Berkeley. Now, could
(19:28):
I be wrong?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Totally? I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Now I don't think they shot it on the bridge,
like I think the interior parts, but like the camp
the I mean, it wasn't a drone, but like that's
what it looks like the footage. It really looked like
the Bay Bridge. It really looked like the car was
going on the Bay Bridge. However they did that was really.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Good, right and I thought it was well played between
Adam and Max too, Like yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Now why they were on the Bay Bridge was befuddled me,
Like why are they going from Berkeley?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Where are they going?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Let's go, well, okay, in actuality, it would be like
they live in Berkeley.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
So I don't know why at night they would be going.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
From Berkeley to San Francisco or if they were in
Like that's what that bridge does. It takes you from
Berkeley to San Francisco. Why they would be doing that
at night unclear. It's like it's not like you pick
a kid up at school in Berkeley and you drive
across the bridge to get to Berkeley.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Like what so that bird was and it was night
times I was like, what are they doing?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
But I get it, like the people were probably like
we really want to establish San Francisco again, and that
they live in Berkeley in the Bay Area.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But I don't know where they were going.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh, were they going to their one on one dinner?
Was that what they were doing?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Yeah, but like I guess maybe I mean that, Yeah,
maybe they were going. Yeah, he did say he wanted up.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Maybe they're going to the dinner in the city.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Now that's a big old trip for a kid. But
maybe it's fall and the sun's going down at We'll.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Give him the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
There's some good restaurants in San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
We're going to say that they were on their way
to uh fog City Diner or something at the time.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Like Adam got him to open up in his way and.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, and I liked the treasurer and.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Why do you love pirates?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And like did you get treasure? Like that was real
cute and like it was good.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It was just really cute.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Did we have much with them, Pattie? Oh? Yeah, And
Gina is completely out of her mind.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And I laughed so hard when Hattie's like, don't cry,
like it was so good.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Also, like the book, It's like Hattie's not going to
read the book. She's not going to read a book
from a mom.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Look, I thought it was a good law in Christina,
right because she is so going over the top and
she does do that right that tracks and she's lost
her mind, like, and I love that Hattie's like f this,
Like Hattie just stands up to it.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
And I'm like, you go, Hattie, because your mom's acting nuts.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, she is acting nuts.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And then I love when she's not like she's like,
don't cry like and I did think that Adam could
have been a little bit more like, hey, Christina, are
you overstepping here? But he was so like mad at
Hattie a little bit, and Hattie just stood her ground,
you know, she's just like by losers. And then I
love that Max is like she gonna get a consequence
(22:42):
because it really feels like she deserves a consequence.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Like that whole thing was awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh I love Yeah, that was that was funny. Did
you run for her? I feel like you were assident.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
I always lost No.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I was like, and here's the thing I wasn't like
not popular, but I couldn't win those elections.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I always came in and I always came in second.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Like yeah, there'd be like a gogle of people, and
then I'd get to the down to the finals, and
then I lost, and then I was like, I don't
want to run.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
For this crap anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Yeah, so I went the cheerleader route and then I
went tennis, and I had a lot more success with that.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I don't think I ever knew that about you. I
knew you played tennis. I did not know you were
a cheerleader.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Oh that I was a cheerleader. Oh yeah, I love it,
little cheerleader. And then you couldn't do cheer and tennis.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
So I picked tennis. Yeah, I had more success there.
I thrived a lot more in the sorority.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Oh everybody should listen to our new show Dirty Rush
by the way, it's a very juicy. But yeah, I
like in the sorority, I won all that everything I ran.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
For I want.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, Like I wasn't like a loser,
but I wasn't like obviously I wasn't like popular enough
to win those elections.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Were you?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I feel like you were I feel like you were
secretary or vice president.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I did not do the like class school stuff I did.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I was and because you're like, you're not going to
just like you're not going to be like I want
to be the boss of this mess.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I just never never.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Activity what was your extra curricular.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I was a big jock, so I played softball. I
was on was.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Remember when you did marathons, guys, marathon.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
I was a big job back in my day. I
won a lot of championships. I did the whole thing right,
So that was like my big thing growing up. And
also in high school and it's year round. That's when
I wasn't when I was in season, I was training
or doing travel or club. So it was that was
my life.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Always did you basically get straight a's? Also?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I was an a B student. I wasn't straight a's.
I was a B. I had like a solid like
three eight three nine.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Yeah, that's very good. I was straight A until I
got to college.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Of course you were. Of course you were college.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
I was like, I'm just gonna have But.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
In college I was like you, I I'm because I
I I stop softball. I decided to stop it and
not pursue it in college. And when I was in college,
I was like, all right, well I got some free time,
let me try the sorority thing. And then I did
Zach and great Counsel, all the all the things I.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Liked, all that, all that, all right, who have we
not talked about? All right?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
We've got just Crosbie and you know, I'm conflicted here
missus Joy Bryant's mom.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
She's prickly, that lady. But we came around.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I just like, I just feel like Renee is her name,
and Jasmine.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Are bringing there well, Jazzin's father, Renee's ex husband, the
trauma with the dad. They're like unleashing it on Crosby.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Which is the way the world works, right behave So
it's written roll.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But the thing that, like I literally screamed at my
TV is Renee was like, well, you know my Jasmine's
dad last when he was young, and blah blah blah,
and Crosby was.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Like called her out.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I haven't I'm here and I'm not him. And I
called her out.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
The Braverman's call it out. It's like hattie, she's like
new and I like that about these people.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Also, look if we if Renee was perfect should be boring.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
It's good that she's so not perfect, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I first of all, I liked seek in this one
because he's all, can I just watch.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
The game, and he's like, James don't even know what's
going on?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I did.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
I you know, Renee is taking Jabbar to church and
Cross's church is baseball.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
And I found I like the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I found to be.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Really interesting because it's you know, I think I think
for Renee, you have a lot of those people that
are set in their ways right where church is the
thing and they don't see anything outside of that right.
And it's like, I feel like her character is growing
a lot right now with one trusting Crosby but to
(27:28):
seeing things in a different lens that may not be
her traditional norm.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
And like I do, they went to church, like I,
they're all working hard, right, Like Crosby is very he
is very pliable here. He is really doing what's right,
and I think he deserves credit for that. That being said,
it's like the grandma should not just be making all
these plans.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
The dad is the dad, Like I don't know, it's
a little it's good, it's the conflict is good. It's interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
My least favorite storyline in this episode, but like I
still like it.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Cute little pending there.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
We kind of brushed over this, but you know, sarahen Amber,
and Amber is friends with the cool girl that oh.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
My god in the mom and that Mercedes.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah who doesn't care? Ye as you can go out
to school.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
I I don't care to care. Yeah, the line was funny.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That was that was like, I really enjoyed that whole thing.
Great casting with the that my guy.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
This episode is great.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I always have a giggle, which is what I really
like about it. This show is not this is us,
Like it definitely has laughs. Like I have a good
giggle every episode.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I do too. I completely agree.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
I have yet to cry, so there's that, but I
have been in my fields. I have giggled, I laughed,
So I'm I'm waiting to take out the tissues.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
But feel like I shed some tears. I feel like
not not but just like a couple of tears have
definitely come down. I'm gonna give this a nine. I'm
got an eight point eight.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Maybe we have not got we have not dipped into
the aids.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yet it's very good.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
But I can't give them all nine like I feel
like sometimes I have to like, go, oh, this one
was still very.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Good, but I'll go nine three. I have nothing but
it it's great.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Do you love it more than Gilmore Girls? Yes? I do.
I do.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Wait too quick to answer, I'm gonna go no on that.
But yet it's not. It's a very good show.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Might argue it's better than Masel, better than Mazel.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I really hope I don't get hate for that, but yeah,
I did think you truth.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Do you miss fun Heads at all?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
