Speaker 1: I am all in again.
Speaker 2: Oh I guess you are. Gillmore Girls Gazette with Amy
Speaker 2: Sugarman and Danielle Romo, an iHeartRadio podcast. Hell love everybody,
Speaker 2: Danielle here, we are finally here.
Speaker 3: This is a big exciting day because how great is
Speaker 3: this show?
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I don't have words.
Speaker 4: Did you love it?
Speaker 2: I l O V ed all capital.
Speaker 4: And you've never seen this.
Speaker 2: I've never seen one episode of the Parenthood.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you're gonna literally really love it. I
Speaker 4: mean truly love.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of questions for you. But to
Speaker 3: bring everybody up to speed, we're talking about Parenthood. We
Speaker 3: are rewatching it because you voted for it. It was
Speaker 3: what you guys told us to rewatch. We were this
Speaker 3: or Mazel, And interestingly you all said this, which I
Speaker 3: love Mazel too. Mazel is amazing. But I'm really really happy.
Speaker 3: So did you get tear eyed?
Speaker 2: It's my first I got tear eyed. I did not cry,
Speaker 2: but I got I definitely felt the feels I I
Speaker 2: I have. Like I'm a little bit speechless because I
Speaker 2: was expecting it a little bit based off of what
Speaker 2: you've been teasing. You know, It's like, get your tissues, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2: But I wasn't expecting it to be this good, and
Speaker 2: I don't know why I loved it so much.
Speaker 3: I know it's amazing right out the gate, which we'll
Speaker 3: we'll talk about. So, first couple of things for you,
Speaker 3: are you did you ever watch Friday Night Lights? No,
Speaker 3: so it is the same creator a producer of Friday
Speaker 3: Night Lights, Jason Cadams, I don't want to say his
Speaker 3: name wrong.
Speaker 4: Also did Parenthood.
Speaker 3: Now, for some reason, I can't remember which came first,
Speaker 3: so Jackie, you may need to help me with timelines
Speaker 3: a little bit here as we kind.
Speaker 4: Of go over things. I think Friday Night Lights came first,
Speaker 4: and then Parenthood. I can't exactly remember.
Speaker 2: Hood premiered March second, twenty ten, so literally fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3: And it was shortly after Gilmore Girls ended, right, because
Speaker 3: Lauren in particular looks very similar to how she looked
Speaker 3: as Laura Lai when.
Speaker 4: The show ended. I don't know if you.
Speaker 2: Know it was a few years later, not very long.
Speaker 3: So here's a little bit of an interesting story because
Speaker 3: the reason we're watching this and people may know this,
Speaker 3: but we're going to do some sort of background today
Speaker 3: so everybody can kind of know where we're at.
Speaker 4: And maybe enjoy these facts.
Speaker 3: So Lauren Graham was not originally cast in the role
Speaker 3: of Sarah Raverman. It was more Tyrney, who I know,
Speaker 3: more Tanny mostly from er.
Speaker 4: People know from a million movies.
Speaker 3: She'd done a million things terrible. She was diagnosed with
Speaker 3: cancer as they were.
Speaker 4: Starting production of this show.
Speaker 3: She is doing amazing just to you know, circle to that,
Speaker 3: but and continues to work and she's great.
Speaker 4: I think she did the Affair. Somebody check that, but I.
Speaker 3: Think she was on the Affair and was amazing. So
Speaker 3: that was many years after.
Speaker 4: So they pushed production back. I think the show was
Speaker 4: originally going to air in the fall.
Speaker 3: They had to push it back to mid season because
Speaker 3: of more a Tyranny. I think so Helen Howt was
Speaker 3: considered for the role. They eventually Lauren Graham got the part,
Speaker 3: and I think they had to reshoot almost all of
Speaker 3: the shows they had done, or at least parts because
Speaker 3: there's so many family scenes that obviously had to be
Speaker 3: re done. I think they were sort of knee deep
Speaker 3: into production when all this happened. So that is sort
Speaker 3: of an interesting how Lauren Graham came to be Sarah Braverman.
Speaker 3: So okay, so I digress from that and go back
Speaker 3: to you, What did you think just right out the gate, Like,
Speaker 3: did it?
Speaker 4: Did it captivate you immediately?
Speaker 2: I captivated? It captivated me immediately. I found it interesting because,
Speaker 2: not knowing anything about the plot of Parenthood, I wasn't
Speaker 2: expecting it to be so about Peter Crass's character, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Adam Braverman, like he is at the center of the
Speaker 2: show as of now this first pilot episode, and I
Speaker 2: wasn't expecting that because look, granted, I know he you know,
Speaker 2: he was Lauren's longtime partner and whatnot, but like I
Speaker 2: don't really know much about him.
Speaker 4: So that's interesting.
Speaker 3: So Peter Kralo was coming off of Six Feet, which
Speaker 3: was a show I think it was like on HBO Showtime,
Speaker 3: but it was a very like award winning show, and
Speaker 3: he was sort of coming off the run of that.
Speaker 3: And even though this is truly an ensemble and it's
Speaker 3: about all the characters, especially in the beginning, all roads
Speaker 3: lead to Peter Krauso's character act.
Speaker 2: He's very much the narrator. He is the one that
Speaker 2: patches together all the storylines.
Speaker 4: Exactly, and you open on him, right, yeah.
Speaker 3: So you really start with a close up of him
Speaker 3: and immediately you're like, all right, who's this guy? And
Speaker 3: you quickly learn because it's so smart.
Speaker 4: How they do it.
Speaker 3: He gets on the phone and then you know, I
Speaker 3: think he talks to his dad, who's cranking the cast
Speaker 3: is amazing.
Speaker 4: Let's let's run to the cast really quick. So craigtie
Speaker 4: knowls them, plays like the patriarch of the Braverman family and.
Speaker 3: He's from Coach and Poltergeist. So immediately and I think
Speaker 3: in the billing's Anne Craig t Nelson, right, so he
Speaker 3: gets sort of that special billing. Bonnie Badelia is the mom,
Speaker 3: and she'd spent in a million things.
Speaker 4: But the thing that I just learned about her is
Speaker 4: her brother is McAuley and Kieran Culkin's.
Speaker 3: Dax, which was a crazy fact that I was like,
Speaker 3: I never knew that until like two weeks ago, and
Speaker 3: that is totally interesting. Dax Shephard, this is Dax before
Speaker 3: he was the Dax of today. Right, there was no podcast.
Speaker 3: I don't think he was married to Kristen Bell. He
Speaker 3: was known for punkd.
Speaker 4: I think at that point.
Speaker 3: I think he had been on Punk and maybe had
Speaker 3: done sort of some movies. So then you see Erica Christensen,
Speaker 3: who is who I knew the Bestroom swim fan. Interestingly,
Speaker 3: the guy who plays her husband Sam, I.
Speaker 4: Think he was right, Matail Right.
Speaker 3: He's relatively unknown when he was on this, but now you.
Speaker 4: Recognize him immediately because he's on Handmaid's Tale.
Speaker 3: So Manica Potter, who plays Adam Braverman's wife, is I
Speaker 3: know her best because of con Air.
Speaker 2: She was Nicholas Huge's wife and.
Speaker 4: In the sort of courtyard. It's amazing.
Speaker 5: We'll get it that.
Speaker 4: All the performances are incredible.
Speaker 3: May Whitman plays Lauren Graham's daughter, and you know her
Speaker 3: because you know her from Independence Day. She's the president's daughter.
Speaker 3: And also I loved her. She's a child after right,
Speaker 3: So she was in this movie One Fine Day with
Speaker 3: George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer and it's actually like a
Speaker 3: great wrong som But anyway, that's the thing about this cast, right,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you were doing that, Daniel, where
Speaker 3: like I know that person, I know that person. I
Speaker 3: know every single person on here.
Speaker 2: It's amazing and not one of them bothered me.
Speaker 4: Not so true, none of that. None then bother me.
Speaker 2: And coming from Bunheads, where you know, we had our
Speaker 2: shared feelings. This this cast, every single every single scene
Speaker 2: that I saw, I was like, great, great dormances.
Speaker 4: It's so well done.
Speaker 3: The thing that is a big bummer about Parenthood, similar
Speaker 3: to you know other shows, is it.
Speaker 4: Always was on the verge of being canceled, Like it
Speaker 4: never became a huge hit, but people loved it, right, It.
Speaker 3: Was the people that were watching loved it. It just
Speaker 3: never became this huge, huge hit, and it was always like.
Speaker 4: Is it going to come back? Is it going to
Speaker 4: come back?
Speaker 3: I think it ended up going what seven is because
Speaker 3: seven years? How many seasons do they do?
Speaker 2: We're going to need Jackie to tell us that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jackie, can you let us know how many seasons?
Speaker 4: This show went?
Speaker 5: Five years, twenty ten to twenty fifteen years. That's it,
Speaker 5: one hundred and three episodes.
Speaker 4: It's still a lot.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was because it.
Speaker 4: Was always all ways on the it was always on
Speaker 4: the edge of getting canceled. So anyway, all right, so
Speaker 4: we go back.
Speaker 3: So we start with Adam Braberman. So what did you
Speaker 3: so coming from just watching.
Speaker 4: It for the first time.
Speaker 3: Danielle, Yeah, tell me what you who you're loving, who
Speaker 3: You're intrigued by the thing about the pilot. It's so brilliant,
Speaker 3: is you you know every character from the pilot. You
Speaker 3: know a lot about all of them right out the gate.
Speaker 4: It's kind of wild.
Speaker 2: And you're you're gonna you're you just asked me that question,
Speaker 2: and I'm immediately I said, in my head, I was
Speaker 2: starting to answer it, and then I realized, like as
Speaker 2: I was answering it, it's literally everyone so Adam Braberman
Speaker 2: I love. I'm very intrigued by him because of his
Speaker 2: whole storyline, right he has uh that weird, kind of
Speaker 2: toxic y relationship with his dad.
Speaker 3: Except that it's also very amazing.
Speaker 2: There's something. Yeah, No, it's amazing because they're so close.
Speaker 4: There's some problems, there's some there's problems.
Speaker 2: There's definitely problems. His wife I'm obsessed with. I think
Speaker 2: she is so awesome and so kind of brings him
Speaker 2: down because he's kind of, you can tell a little
Speaker 2: bit of a dreamer, not a dreamer, but an optimist.
Speaker 2: Like everything we are strong and we are fine, and
Speaker 2: nothing's going to get in our way, and she's kind
Speaker 2: of like the realist, like, hey, there's something, there's something
Speaker 2: wrong with our son.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's not.
Speaker 3: The actor who plays the young boy is so good, amazing.
Speaker 3: Now he is not aptisic in real life.
Speaker 4: But he's so good.
Speaker 3: And then the sister is played by Sarah Ramos, who
Speaker 3: interestingly is on Chicago med now playing and I think a.
Speaker 4: Person on the spectrum.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the sun just so that we can give
Speaker 2: him his flowers. His name is Expert Holder. He was
Speaker 2: amazing and he plays Max ironically, he's like amazed.
Speaker 4: He's just so good.
Speaker 3: And the whole.
Speaker 4: Family is that.
Speaker 2: So that's only like totally intrigues me because there's a
Speaker 2: lot that's there, and you can tell that there's like
Speaker 2: a balancing act between you know, husband and wife but
Speaker 2: also like their son. So there's a lot there that
Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued by. And you know, we already kind
Speaker 2: of alluded to it, but we find out at the
Speaker 2: end of the episode that their son is autistic. And
Speaker 2: now that's you know, they're trying to navigate that, which
Speaker 2: you know, coming from like from my perspective, I have
Speaker 2: a lot of friends who have, you know, children that
Speaker 2: are autistic and you know, like, I love that they're
Speaker 2: expressing that storyline because there's a lot of people that
Speaker 2: can relate to it.
Speaker 3: Oh and the way they do it, it's so gritty
Speaker 3: and real. That's the thing about Parenthood that I think
Speaker 3: I love is that it's just so nuanced. It's so real,
Speaker 3: like you're not It's nothing like we complained about with Bunheads,
Speaker 3: where like so over the top.
Speaker 4: There's nothing over the top.
Speaker 2: You can relate to. Everyone can relate to one storyline that's.
Speaker 3: In there, and then you immediately know Lauren Graham.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then so then Lauren Graham and May's relationship
Speaker 2: is really interesting because of the I mean, the dad
Speaker 2: and how he's kind of a not a loser, but
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like just not present.
Speaker 4: A couple little things.
Speaker 3: So the guy who plays the dad in this episode,
Speaker 3: May Whitman's dad, Sarah Braverman's sort of musician drug addict.
Speaker 3: The ex does not play him throughout the rest of
Speaker 3: the series. I don't know see that guy ever.
Speaker 4: Again, I don't think we do it.
Speaker 3: It's soon John Corbett from Sex and the City agent
Speaker 3: from Sex and the City.
Speaker 4: Yes, they'll be playing the dad.
Speaker 2: Why does that make me confused?
Speaker 4: It's a little weird.
Speaker 3: I actually didn't remember that somebody else plays the dad
Speaker 3: in the pilot, and that guy is like a recognizable
Speaker 3: sort of character actor. I also weirdly think that guy
Speaker 3: dated one of my friends or was married to one
Speaker 3: of my friends. Oh but he's I've seen him in
Speaker 3: a lot of shows, right. I think that originally when
Speaker 3: they did it, they just thought this was going to
Speaker 3: be a very one seen guy. But later John Corbett
Speaker 3: does do quite a number of episodes. So anyway, I
Speaker 3: digress on.
Speaker 2: That, and then Okay, so I mean that's I cannot
Speaker 2: wait to see John Corbett.
Speaker 3: As the Yeah, no, it's great, it's really it's really great.
Speaker 3: I can't The character's name is escaping me, but it'll come.
Speaker 5: Yes, but Barreon hemes and he's you're correct, is only
Speaker 5: for this pilot, And John Cabbott shows up in season two,
Speaker 5: episode fifteen, and he does ten episodes.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The thing that was so amazing is there's a scene
Speaker 3: where main women's character in Sarah almost character get arrested
Speaker 3: and yeah, you have to go pick them up. And
Speaker 3: the performance by May Whitmen is so unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Like Lauren Graham. They are great together.
Speaker 3: Everything you sort of love about Lauren and alexis Lorlion Rory.
Speaker 3: You get why Lauren Graham loves May Whitman so much
Speaker 3: because they have also an amazing chemistry right from the
Speaker 3: start where Lauren sort of you know, tells May Whitman's
Speaker 3: characters She's upset with her, and she goes, you know,
Speaker 3: May Whitman's like, it wasn't my weed, kind of trying
Speaker 3: to say I'm sorry to her mom. And there's a
Speaker 3: scene where you just see her the tears coming into
Speaker 3: her eyes and the way she performs the that moment,
Speaker 3: You're just like, I totally believe it.
Speaker 4: You're just like they seeople are incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the one thing that I liked about you know,
Speaker 2: you can fall into the trap of always having to
Speaker 2: play a mother daughter relation ship on screen just based
Speaker 2: off of how amazing Gilmore Girls was. You know, this
Speaker 2: is a mother daughter relationship, but there's there's so much
Speaker 2: different than Gilmour Girls. I think even just the type
Speaker 2: of person the character that May is playing is so
Speaker 2: different than Rory.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, beyond and Lauren Graham is not Laura Laion.
Speaker 3: I agree, she's not so different that it feels uncomfortable, right,
Speaker 3: Like she she really is Sarah Braverman, but there's something
Speaker 3: about her that's so likable. I don't want to criticize
Speaker 3: the v sweet, right, but I believe Lauren Graham is
Speaker 3: Lorlai Gilmore, and I believe she is Sarah Braverman.
Speaker 4: I just don't believe she is that person in the
Speaker 4: C suite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I understand that.
Speaker 3: I get that, by the way, So I laughed, I
Speaker 3: ain't really I'm not gonna lie with because So she
Speaker 3: goes on to State with this guy from high school,
Speaker 3: and guys, we're not gonna go through it like scene
Speaker 3: by scene. We kind of want to give you broad
Speaker 3: strokes about the episodes and what we think, because you
Speaker 3: guys are.
Speaker 4: Gonna want to watch it and just enjoy it.
Speaker 5: So she goes on.
Speaker 3: So her sister sets her up with the guy from
Speaker 3: high school who clearly was her like ext from high school,
Speaker 3: who was a honkin high school. I think it's Michael'malley.
Speaker 5: Michael Malley, Yeah it is, which was so crazy.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, Michael Mallie. No, he's awesome.
Speaker 2: He's awesome. But like the whole point of it is
Speaker 2: is that he's not as cute as he was in
Speaker 2: high school.
Speaker 4: No, and she goes.
Speaker 3: Outside and totally rips onto her sister, which the thing
Speaker 3: is about the siblings are totally real siblings who love
Speaker 3: each other and can't look like it is and like
Speaker 3: her saying like, I know you're sexier, exist attorney. It's
Speaker 3: so relatable, right, You're just like, oh my god, this
Speaker 3: is every sibling relationship.
Speaker 2: But did did I patch it correctly? That they were
Speaker 2: previously engaged?
Speaker 3: So? I think they were high school sweethearts and he
Speaker 3: just gave her a rank.
Speaker 4: I don't think they.
Speaker 3: Were engaged like a promise ring or whatever, some kind
Speaker 3: of like class ring or some type of deal. But
Speaker 3: it wasn't you know, some kind of deal, right, I
Speaker 3: think they but they weren't engaged. Dad When they're having
Speaker 3: Chinese food, and she breaks down and realizes, like.
Speaker 4: It's almost like she's judging this guy.
Speaker 3: For being a barista and being bald when he's so sweet.
Speaker 3: I love that they hook up, right, because you're like, yeah.
Speaker 4: I get it, this is it. I like him.
Speaker 2: I had to do I did do?
Speaker 3: Now were you befuddled by the mysterious condoms.
Speaker 4: In the desk.
Speaker 2: No, no, not really, I honestly didn't even.
Speaker 3: It's funny how Michael Maley's characters like is your dad
Speaker 3: having an affair? And like, obviously Sarah Braverman is also
Speaker 3: like what are these doing here? So you know, just
Speaker 3: a little something to kind of make us go, well,
Speaker 3: what is there something going on?
Speaker 4: If you don't know about it?
Speaker 2: Oh no, oh, I didn't even catch that. I'm going
Speaker 2: to rewatch it. Like it didn't clock for me. I
Speaker 2: just I think it.
Speaker 4: Was like.
Speaker 3: That's the interesting thing about Parenthood too, is it it's dense, Right, there's.
Speaker 4: A lot happening. It's not dense in.
Speaker 3: An annoying way, but you wouldn't want to be like
Speaker 3: doing emails while you're watching it because there's so much happening.
Speaker 3: I mean, this episode is jam packed. Like we meet
Speaker 3: Dax Shepherd's character. He's obviously got this relationship with this
Speaker 3: very beautiful, sort of successful woman and he's like they're
Speaker 3: sperm in the free.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I literally, I I mean it was
Speaker 2: hilarious because I think he it was not a wake
Speaker 2: up call for him, but kind of was where he
Speaker 2: was like, wait, what is this chick doing and then
Speaker 2: he was just like, yeah, I'll have a baby with
Speaker 2: you in three years and and I like their storyline.
Speaker 2: There is something really fun.
Speaker 3: Then were you just so, how did you feel you
Speaker 3: see Joy Bryant's character and you meet Jabbar?
Speaker 2: Remind me who Jabbar is?
Speaker 3: Uh? Did you get to the end this is he
Speaker 3: did reveal where he finds out he's a dad.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, no, I totally remember this. The names
Speaker 2: are just throwing me off. No, I totally remember that
Speaker 2: he finds out that he's a dad.
Speaker 3: So the sort of I don't know, you call it
Speaker 3: a red herring.
Speaker 4: Or the like sort of.
Speaker 3: Is Jack Shepherd, you know, sort of has this relationship
Speaker 3: and he's sort of a floundering musician, but he had
Speaker 3: a really good guy and we realized that he had
Speaker 3: a baby with a past girlfriend five years earlier that
Speaker 3: he never knew about. And so he meets his kid,
Speaker 3: and don't you love how he comes to the dinner
Speaker 3: and says that Adam Ramerman, Like you can tell they
Speaker 3: all go to Adam, right, he is the guy, He's
Speaker 3: the big brother that runs the family, right, and he's like,
Speaker 3: we have.
Speaker 2: A oh my god.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So lovely because Max comes out and wants to
Speaker 4: go to his baseball game.
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's important. We were bearing. We're bearing that
Speaker 2: story because throughout this entire show, obviously Adam and his
Speaker 2: dad have a very very special bond over baseball, and
Speaker 2: Adam is trying to have his son, who the one
Speaker 2: that they find out is autistic, play baseball, and the
Speaker 2: son's just not jiving with it. He's like, I what,
Speaker 2: I don't want to do this, YadA, yah, YadA. And
Speaker 2: so they come to the realization like, okay, let's not
Speaker 2: force Max play baseball, but like whatever, And at the
Speaker 2: end the you know, the day of his baseball game,
Speaker 2: they're you know, they're skipping it and and they're playing
Speaker 2: uh or they're eating dinner with the family. One thing
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention is Adam is the baseball coach,
Speaker 2: so you know there's a.
Speaker 3: Lot which he got fired from that he rejected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and this, and Max is like, hey, it's
Speaker 1: baseball time, like and they all like just stop what
Speaker 1: they're doing, and they're like it's basebook.
Speaker 3: You know, like, oh my god, let's go now.
Speaker 4: I couldn't.
Speaker 3: So I love the outdoor sort of family meals that
Speaker 3: they have. They definitely have one at Zeke and I
Speaker 3: can't remember the mom's name, but Zeke's wife Bonnie Badelia,
Speaker 3: And I can't tell if they were at Zeke's again
Speaker 3: or if they were at house, yeah I can, or
Speaker 3: if they were at Adam's house that time. But anyway,
Speaker 3: they have these great family meals they do. It's like,
Speaker 3: did you kind of get the like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: this is the ultimate family, right.
Speaker 4: It's messy, but these people love each other so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did feel that way, and I just I
Speaker 2: love that they're all like together, but they're there. Their
Speaker 2: lives cannot be more different. That's what makes it really
Speaker 2: really fun. It's because even like the mom and dad,
Speaker 2: like the you know, the the zel like their storyline
Speaker 2: is different than you know, Adam and his wife.
Speaker 3: Well, and Erica Christiansen who is married to Jules. She's
Speaker 3: obviously the bread winner attorney and he's sort of more
Speaker 3: of the.
Speaker 4: Stay at home dad.
Speaker 3: And the daughter likes the dad, like the dad the
Speaker 3: cutter meat. She wants the dad, which is so relatable
Speaker 3: I think for a lot.
Speaker 2: Of like work, Oh yeah, I mean, I I yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean my son is is is attached to my head.
Speaker 2: But John's always like, is there gonna be a day
Speaker 2: that the tale wants me to like serve him dinner?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, one day, but.
Speaker 3: It isn't imagine it was, or imagine Mateo was like
Speaker 3: so connected to the nanny, you'd feel like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. But it's just like it's one of
Speaker 2: those things that all these storylines are so different, then
Speaker 2: no matter what stage of life you're in, you can
Speaker 2: relate to one.
Speaker 3: And it's you realize that Zeke craik ty Nilson, I mean,
Speaker 3: for all his faults, he is a great dad because
Speaker 3: when Adam Braverman says to him, something's wrong with my kid,
Speaker 3: and at first, you know, Grandpa's like no, no, no,
Speaker 3: and then he's like he says, I need your help,
Speaker 3: and you just feel it where he's like he's basically
Speaker 3: like in right. These people are. They have their ups
Speaker 3: and downs and that times they're so annoyed with each other,
Speaker 3: but they're so in right.
Speaker 4: They're just yeah, they're going to be loyal.
Speaker 2: And even with Lauren's character, you know, she was away
Speaker 2: for a minute and then she's now back living with
Speaker 2: her parents, and it was just one of those things
Speaker 2: that they're like, yeah, we'll take you in, you know,
Speaker 2: like they are definitely you can tell, for as much
Speaker 2: as they got going on and for how much drama
Speaker 2: they have in each of their own lives, that they
Speaker 2: that they are a family and that they love each
Speaker 2: other and they're going to stick by each other.
Speaker 3: They live in Berkeley, So for anyone from like the
Speaker 3: Bay Area, northern California.
Speaker 4: It's so cool they live in Berkeley. The house is
Speaker 4: very Berkeley. They're very berkeley Ish, right, Like.
Speaker 3: You definitely get the sort of like hippie granola vibe from.
Speaker 4: Zeke and the Camille yep, Camil, And I think we're to.
Speaker 3: Understand that maybe uh Dax Shepherd's character lives in Tiberon.
Speaker 4: That really looks Tibberoni to.
Speaker 3: Me, maybe soft Thelido kind of just to cross one
Speaker 3: of the bridges in a really cool place where that's
Speaker 3: you see that, I mean, I think that was definitely
Speaker 3: shot up here. When he meets Shabbar for the first time,
Speaker 3: you get excited to like join these people, right the
Speaker 3: pilot is so well done that you learn who these
Speaker 3: people are.
Speaker 4: And you're like, Okay, I want to learn more about
Speaker 4: all these.
Speaker 2: People, I'm it exactly and you're and you're you're so
Speaker 2: in and you're so like you feel like you're part
Speaker 2: of the family in a weird way.
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite? Is there anyone who're sort
Speaker 3: of like really like?
Speaker 4: I think I like them?
Speaker 2: Okay, well it's a two part answer to this question.
Speaker 2: I think I relate to Adam Braverman's storyline the most,
Speaker 2: with you know, like navigating life with a young kid
Speaker 2: and like the obstacles that you have with that and
Speaker 2: being a parent and you know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm I resonate with his storyline, but I'm very drawn
Speaker 2: to Doax's, like, very drawn. I think there's something super
Speaker 2: fascinating about his storyline. I love him. I haven't seen
Speaker 2: much of him as an actor, Like I haven't seen
Speaker 2: the party.
Speaker 3: You look different, don't you think Like he's looks like
Speaker 3: a little bit different. Maybe it's the long hair, I
Speaker 3: don't know what, but maybe it's just because he's so
Speaker 3: much younger.
Speaker 4: What year was this again? So fifteen years ago?
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty ten, And I haven't seen projects that he's acted.
Speaker 2: And I know he was an actor or is an actor,
Speaker 2: but this, I'm like, I'm very very drawn to his storyline.
Speaker 2: I think, I like, I'm very intrigued and excited to
Speaker 2: see how it all unfolds.
Speaker 3: I just love it all, like it's so so good
Speaker 3: and it's so funny, little like pivots. Danielle and I
Speaker 3: met with two people from the show we won't name
Speaker 3: because I don't know if they want us to name them,
Speaker 3: but and they were talking about doing a Parenthood rewatch.
Speaker 3: And it's like, I feel like, I want the Cat
Speaker 3: to do a Parenthood rewatch.
Speaker 2: I want all of them to do it though, because
Speaker 2: that's like the like I want the I want Lauren
Speaker 2: on it, I want DAGs, I want Yeah, Peter, I
Speaker 2: want all of them. One thing I do I did.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you really when you watched, I
Speaker 2: realized it. And then our our producer Jackie put on
Speaker 2: our rundown and and I'm like, oh, that's so sad.
Speaker 2: At the end it said like in you know, Loving
Speaker 2: Memory of Norah was that?
Speaker 4: Who was that?
Speaker 2: So she was an NBC executive who died on location.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I kind of remember that. Do you know
Speaker 4: why or how?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: She she died after collapsing while on vacationion in Berkeley.
Speaker 2: She she had said that she felt dizzy and then
Speaker 2: she collapsed, and then when she was she was obviously
Speaker 2: taking the hospital, and she was pronounced that at the hospital.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I know, but imagine that's so that's
Speaker 2: so tragic, traumatizing, so traumatizing, but oh my god, I
Speaker 2: can only imagine. But I saw that at the end,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, no, I wonder you know what
Speaker 2: that was about. And then now reading about it, I
Speaker 2: was like, Oh, no, that is that is that is
Speaker 2: truly heartbreaking.
Speaker 4: Oh that's so sad. I didn't Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: I didn't know who that was.
Speaker 4: And I'm glad you looked it up.
Speaker 3: It's interesting that I don't mean to quickly pivot from that,
Speaker 3: but like you can tell, they shot a lot of it,
Speaker 3: sort of some of the exteriors up here. I think
Speaker 3: they shoot most of the show in LA but they
Speaker 3: do come up I think from time, or they did
Speaker 3: from time to time to do sort of the you know,
Speaker 3: exterior sort of Berkeley, San Francisco Bay area or in shot.
Speaker 2: And that's so funny because it's like that's your hometown.
Speaker 4: Well, it's so funny. I'm gonna watch it differently than
Speaker 4: the first time.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously I.
Speaker 3: Cared, but I definitely am sort of like looking like
Speaker 3: in that exterior where they talk about where they were,
Speaker 3: Monica Potter and Peter Krawsold talk about Max having autism.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that was La or Northern California.
Speaker 3: That looked a little bit more like that was maybe
Speaker 3: shot in La.
Speaker 5: Amy, I have a question for you, sure about this?
Speaker 5: They have a scene in Oscars Hamburgers that's did you
Speaker 5: ever go there? Because that's a true iconic place in Berkeley.
Speaker 3: No, no, but I I love that scene. And also
Speaker 3: I think it's hilarious that he's making fun of Adam
Speaker 3: for uh.
Speaker 4: Having a veggie burger. But there are things like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they I remember blurbally, but I'll
Speaker 3: pay better attention as we rewatched where they shot up.
Speaker 2: Here, does they need to take a field trip to Oscars?
Speaker 5: For sure?
Speaker 4: Wait, larious, Oscar.
Speaker 5: It's shut down?
Speaker 4: Where was it? Was it on Shattuck? Where was it?
Speaker 5: We look up the address?
Speaker 3: Let me see and I will say, if you want
Speaker 3: a great burger in Berkeley, go to Bongo Burger, which
Speaker 3: is like it's a great Burger. It's like a little
Speaker 3: there's a I think there's two locations, but one on
Speaker 3: Telegraph and one on North side. Berkeley is cool, right,
Speaker 3: I lived in Berkeley for a long time.
Speaker 5: It's shatuck.
Speaker 3: I said that, whoa, Berkeley is a cool, cool, cool town.
Speaker 4: It really is. My mom grew up in Berkeley.
Speaker 3: So the fact that they're from Berkeley, and like I said,
Speaker 3: they they they are real Berkeley like Seek especially and
Speaker 3: Camille and the house and the whole thing. So anyway, uh,
Speaker 3: I I don't know what else to ask Daniel, there's
Speaker 3: any other standouts or sort of like I'd love to
Speaker 3: have you rate it, like I'd love to know.
Speaker 2: What you Oh, I like, uh, this is a nine
Speaker 2: point seventy five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, it's a ten. It's a tent of
Speaker 4: a pilot. It's a tent.
Speaker 2: It's like I'm not giving for a pilot for sure,
Speaker 2: Like it is definitely way high up there. I think
Speaker 2: I'm only docking point twenty five because I need to.
Speaker 2: I can't give a ten out of the out of
Speaker 2: the gate. Like I'm like, I gotta I gotta like
Speaker 2: keep it going.
Speaker 3: It's interesting how I think something that's kind of interesting
Speaker 3: for me is Gilmour Girls was on for seven years,
Speaker 3: This was on for five.
Speaker 4: And how amazing this is.
Speaker 3: And yes, people obviously bring up Sarah Braverman to Lauren
Speaker 3: all the time, even yeah Alex Cooper did, but that
Speaker 3: she because she still is Laura LII. Right, You're like, okay,
Speaker 3: you still are a Laura Li But yet she played this.
Speaker 4: Sarah Braverman and she's amazing in it. Like it's just weird.
Speaker 3: How like she has this part which she's equally as
Speaker 3: good at, like honestly, and the character is equally as amazing.
Speaker 4: How just she is more Lareli.
Speaker 3: I don't know what makes one show become that, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Am I making sense what I'm sort of saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you totally makes sense. I will say, like I,
Speaker 2: you know, had my thoughts about butt heads and whatnot,
Speaker 2: and look whatever. It was an entertaining show, but at
Speaker 2: its core it did annoy me. And it was kind
Speaker 2: of like just it was it was homewark watching it.
Speaker 3: I'm going to it's not this, It's not this, right,
Speaker 3: it's not Yeah, it was homemark watching it is a
Speaker 3: great way to describe it, because I last last night
Speaker 3: when I was watching this, I'm like, dang, I love
Speaker 3: this show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it took everything in me. I watched this
Speaker 2: last week and it took everything in me to not
Speaker 2: watch the second episode.
Speaker 5: I was like, do not.
Speaker 2: Watch it, do not watch it, do not watch it.
Speaker 2: Like that is the effect Gomere Girls had on me,
Speaker 2: where I just kept wanting to watch.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I get it.
Speaker 3: I mean I and I'm not going to jump to
Speaker 3: the end, but I will just in this little tibo.
Speaker 3: I can't remember if I told you, Like I was
Speaker 3: so upset when this show ended, for many reasons which
Speaker 3: I will not reveal, Like I remember telling Ryan Seacrest
Speaker 3: about it and fully crying, like fully fully crying, and
Speaker 3: of course Ryan got out the camera, so there is
Speaker 3: footage of me just for breaking down.
Speaker 4: But like, I really got connected to these characters, right, Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you really really really like these people. For sure, there's
Speaker 4: not one of them. I think you said this is
Speaker 4: not one of them.
Speaker 2: I don't like, yeah, I'm here, I'm here for it all.
Speaker 3: You're even gonna like Seth the ex husband of Sarah Braverman,
Speaker 3: especially when it's John Corbett.
Speaker 2: I just cannot believe it turns into John Corbett.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, John Corby being awesome.
Speaker 4: I love John Corbett.
Speaker 2: I did too, I just wouldn't expect him. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I can't wait for it and just like that to
Speaker 3: come back.
Speaker 4: I love John Corbett.
Speaker 3: So I do give this a ten. I'm trying to
Speaker 3: think if there's anything else. Oh, you know, the Gilmour connections. Obviously,
Speaker 3: Peter Kraus and May Whitman were in a Year.
Speaker 2: In the Life, obviously, Lauren.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of others that pop up.
Speaker 4: I think Rose Abdo's in parenthood.
Speaker 3: Jason Ritter is definitely in parenthood. Who was he was
Speaker 3: in a Year in the Life. There's a few other
Speaker 3: sort of Gilmore Girls things that show up.
Speaker 2: This is definitely a breath of fresh air in comparison
Speaker 2: to Bunheads. This is I am so happy you guys.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy that you voted for this.
Speaker 3: Now I will say Mazel, Yes, it's great. Mazel is
Speaker 3: also really good. Like there's very little to criticize about Mazel,
Speaker 3: like there is Bunheads. It's totally different than this. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean this is you get the you get the
Speaker 3: Friday night light vibes, you get the this is us vibes.
Speaker 3: You get sort of what we got going here. I'd
Speaker 3: call it a drama with bits of comedy. It's definitely
Speaker 3: not even a dramaedy, right, It's like it's a drama.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean the next episode, episode two, Man
Speaker 2: versus Possum. I love possums. I think they're so cute.
Speaker 3: And that's the thing, there's always there's always like two bits.
Speaker 4: Of comedy in the of them.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I loved it. I'm so glad we're doing it.
Speaker 3: Hopefully you guys like how we're kind of doing it.
Speaker 3: We'll give us any notes of how you want us
Speaker 3: to talk about it.
Speaker 4: But I think next week we'll dig.
Speaker 3: Into the storylines too, because they're all so relatable. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think Erica Christiansen and Joel Sorry to blur the
Speaker 3: actors names of the characters and things. That is going
Speaker 3: to be my problem during this because I'm definitely gonna
Speaker 3: like to say the actor and like Monica Potter, Oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, you's so good a mes Yeah, no, it's
Speaker 3: just great. Just wait, it's crazy, all right? Next week
Speaker 3: more parenthood.
