Speaker 4: Quiet Little Voices their date April nineteenth, twenty eleven. Synopsis reads,

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 4: The big day has finally arrived, and the gang gathers

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 4: at the hospital to await the birth of Haley and

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 4: Nathan's baby. While they wait, they reminisce about the memories

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 4: they shared over the years. Boy do they And it

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 4: was directed by mister sex Pylon himself, Austin Nichols.

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: I did not realize he directed this episode.

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't eat.

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: I really forgot, and I was watching it thinking who

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: directed this?

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: This is lovely?

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, he did such a great job. Oh

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: my gosh, there's so much to talk about with this episode.

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: I know that you're feeling a little.

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: Like you weren't given enough material, Rob, because it was

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: like a three day shoot for the entire episode. We

26
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: had no material, no new material. It was very little

27
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: and the rest of it was flashbacks.

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: But I actually, really.

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: I think the fans probably loved this episode because this

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: was obviously before streaming and so a chance to be

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: able to revisit all of these meaningful moments, and I

32
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: thought they were really expertly woven into the story and.

33
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: I loved it.

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,279
Speaker 3: It made me really happy to watch all those old moments.

35
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: I loved it too. And the irony is well two things.

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was really well done. I think Austin

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: did such a great job, yeah, truly weaving this moment

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: where we're all sort of frozen in time in the hospital,

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: with these stories that make these characters who they are.

40
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: I think the device of having Jamie asking all these

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: questions is great. And it dawned on me when we

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: first got on our zoom and you were like, well

43
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: the sixteen minutes of material in this episode from Rob,

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: I went, oh my god, it was I'm telling you.

45
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Two minutes before the episode ended, by myself in my apartment,

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I went Puerto Rico. I just like yelled it like

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: mad libs because I realized I realized we needed so

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: many extra days to go and shoot that episode.

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: Oh that's what it was.

50
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: Yes, and Joy, you had just had your actual baby.

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 3: Yes, so I was on my maternity leave.

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: And essentially they had to they had to save days

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: so the budget from this episode could both give you

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: time off and then the extra days could go on

55
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: the Puerto Rico episode to get everybody down there to

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: shoot that travel extravaganza. And it it. I couldn't figure

57
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: it out, and then I did, and I'm just then

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I did I feel that I've solved a puzzle that

59
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: matters to no one, but it mattered to me.

60
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. And what Joy was saying earlier was I wasn't

61
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: upset about the amount of material Clay had in the episode.

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: I was joking before we started the podcast, saying we

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 4: have fourteen and a half minutes of actual new content

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: to discuss.

65
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you

66
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: seemed unhappy with your own amount of work. That was

67
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: not I knew what you meant, but yes, thank you

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: for clarifying for our listeners.

69
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 4: Sorry say so. A couple of things. One for our

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 4: fans that who aren't in the biz, A Bottle episode

71
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: is it's sort of an episode that you have to

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: catch up on the budget to save some money because

73
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: you've maybe overspent or maybe you have a big expenditure

74
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: coming up. So typically it'll be like a limited amount

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: of the cast or or all the cast, but in

76
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: like one location, so it's very easy to shoot. You

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: can shoot it quick. This is the This is the

78
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: MVP of Bodle episodes. I have never seen one done

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: better because not only is all of the cast in

80
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: one location, but genuinely forty to fifty percent of the

81
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: of the episode is flashbacks. I was watching this just going,

82
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: this is freaking genius.

83
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it managed to be good. It didn't feel

84
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: like it was hodgepodge together yes because they had to.

85
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: It actually felt really organic to the episode to me.

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. And I got to say, as someone who is

87
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: not familiar with the earlier seasons, I freaking loved it

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: because the first time I cut to a scene of

89
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 4: Nathan and Haley and I was like, oh my god,

90
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 4: they how did they make James look so young? And

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: it was, oh my gosh, no, this is actually just

92
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: ye baby, James and baby Joy, Like, yeah, it was that?

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 4: Was that your guys' first kiss? That a dare you to?

94
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

95
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: I was, dude, you were so good in that scene. Joy.

96
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 4: My main takeaway was for the age you were at

97
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: and what we were doing. I just thought like you

98
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: were so steady and like grounded in yourself and you

99
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: were doing almost nothing while doing so much. But I

100
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: was just I remember just thinking like wow, at that age,

101
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 4: Joy was really crushing it.

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: Thank you. I really appreciate that.

103
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: I have a I have a hard time watching myself,

104
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 3: particularly at that at that age, and couldn't you know,

105
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: I know, I notice all of the things about myself

106
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: that I don't like or didn't like, and it's hard

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: for me to just get past it and like watch

108
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: the scene and appreciate that.

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: So I take that to heart. Thank you. Yeah, it was.

110
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: It was.

111
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: It was fun to shoot all that stuff, but really

112
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: fun to watch James for me, in particular because he's

113
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: where he's grown, how he grew on the show as

114
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: an actor, as a human and as a character. Watching

115
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: all that play out, he was sort of the secret

116
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: star of the episode for me, just to see to

117
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: see that journey, even I love that they showed the

118
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: super vulnerable moment that he had with her in her bedroom,

119
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: coming in after the game and just saying like, I

120
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 3: need you, I just need a hug, I need to

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: be I need your comfort. It was so rich for

122
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: a high school for a high schooler to do that

123
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: high school boy, and for a young couple to understand

124
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: each other on that level. It was just really such

125
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: a nice reminder of where they've come from.

126
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's especially nice to see that growth, and

127
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: I like that it's as impactful for us who essentially,

128
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: like the viewers, have seen all of it, and Rob,

129
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: you're like a newer viewer in a way, you know,

130
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: you got to see things you didn't know. And when

131
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: you think about it in the story arc, in terms

132
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: of all of us really thinking that when we wrapped

133
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: season eight, we would be wrapping the show. Yeah, it's

134
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: such a great device to remind you of how far

135
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: these characters have come. I think particularly the flashback devices

136
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: with Nathan, because James was actually so young. Not only

137
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: has his character come so far, but James just as

138
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: a man looks so different in season eight than he

139
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 1: did in season one, and so in a really interesting way,

140
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: like the evolution of his character, but also him growing

141
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: out of that teenage boy youth really marks time for

142
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: us as viewers in the flashback in a way like, look,

143
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: I thought all the rest of ours were great. I

144
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: love being reminded of the moment with Haley and Quinn.

145
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I love going back to naming you Brook, like all

146
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: of it is so sweet to see.

147
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 4: But I.

148
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Think it becomes doubly effective as a device in a

149
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: way just because of where we found ourselves in the

150
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: trajectory of James's life. Yea, it's really cool. And to

151
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: see him then be this very still father figure who's

152
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: not doing a lot, who's just reflecting and sort of

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: explaining that to a child. It's really special and it

154
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: does give you that sort of I don't know, it

155
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: has like nostalgia that made me feel ready for the end,

156
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: even though we wound up getting this bonus of our

157
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: ninth season.

158
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: Well, it connects.

159
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: It connects the audience by reminding them of everything they've

160
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: been through with the characters without them having to think

161
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: too hard about it.

162
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 5: Just it.

163
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: It creates the same moment as looking through a scrap

164
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: book and seeing, you know, here's of old friends and

165
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: it doesn't take a lot. You don't have to live through,

166
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: relive through all of the moments that you had. You

167
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: just need these snapshot moments and then you look up

168
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: at the person in front of you, seeing how they've

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: aged and grown, and it immediately endears you and you

170
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: feel the sense of loyalty. Like I think it was

171
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: so smart because it created such a bonding experience for

172
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: the audience subconsciously, I think.

173
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: And it was so funny to that point that we're

174
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: seeing all of these flashbacks where it's like baby Brook,

175
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 4: baby Hailey, baby Nathan, and then we have a flashback

176
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: with Haley and Quinn and it's like Quinn from six

177
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: months ago.

178
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: And yet there was still a hair parade like every

179
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: all the different colors, all the different cuts, all the

180
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: different everything, like the fact that Quinn was a brunette

181
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: when she started on the show, and yeah, it was

182
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: only you know, six months prior or whatever, a year

183
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: or so, and how much that's changed. It still kept

184
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: the uh, it kept the nostalgia going.

185
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

186
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, the James of it all was was awesome

187
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 4: because you really do see how much he grew as

188
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: an individual, and alongside the character of Nathan. Yeah, that

189
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 4: was great, And like I said, it was fun for

190
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 4: me because it was all stuff I had never seen,

191
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: so it was like, wait, that's how Haley and Brook met.

192
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: Wait what It made me very interested to, like, I

193
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: gotta I gotta go back and see where this all started.

194
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so sweet.

195
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: I love seeing so much of this through Jamie's eyes too,

196
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: and just the that was a nice kind of mirror

197
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: effect that you are watching all these old memories, but

198
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 3: you're also seeing everything through the new, young perspective of

199
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: coming into the world. All of his narration was really

200
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: sweet and funny.

201
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was sweet that they The episode was

202
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 4: bookended by Haley than giving the same voiceover about you know,

203
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: babies are God's way of saying He's not given up

204
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 4: on us yet, or something to that effect. Yeah. Sweet,

205
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 4: nice sentiment. And I love that we got to see

206
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: the myth of the nursery room window viewing window as

207
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: well as I mean, are the eighteen hundreds with the

208
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 4: delivery room that has stadium seating above it with a window.

209
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: It's so weird. It's the same by the way, it's

210
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: the same window when Peyton drops after the Peyton and

211
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Lucas wedding, and then all of us appear like ghosts

212
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: out of mist. There's just more and more of us

213
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: up in that viewing room, and it's.

214
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: Like this operating window.

215
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: It is simply not allowed. It is not allowed for

216
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: civilians to be in there. There might be an operating

217
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: theater at a teaching hospital. But let me tell you something.

218
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: When my very best friend on Earth had to have

219
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: emergency knee surgery, and I tried to convince the surgeons

220
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: at and Yu Hospital to let me scrub in and observe,

221
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: and they said, ma'am, go sit down, And I said,

222
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: then let me sit in an operating theater. There has

223
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: to be there has to be an operating room with

224
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: a theater here. This is a teaching hospital. They were like, ma'am,

225
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: get out, just get out, like we will. We are

226
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: going to removee. Neil woke up from surgery and was like,

227
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: you crazy bitch, because I was sleeping in a chair

228
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: next to her bed, and the nurse was like, we

229
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: tried to make her leave. We just eventually we gave up.

230
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: And I am telling you from personal experience, I know

231
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: that there is no human they are going to let

232
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: observe a surgery, a delivery, no matter what medical terminology

233
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: you know from at one point or and they're playing

234
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: a doctor, they don't care, and a surgery.

235
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 3: Would be the most life A delivery. Yeah, are you

236
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: sing kidding me?

237
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: No?

238
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 3: Hap to the oh in a room that's covered in tile.

239
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: By the way, when have you ever given birth in

240
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: a room that's covered in time?

241
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: By the way, it looks like we're at the morgue.

242
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: It looks like ten years ago we built a step

243
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: for a morgue and they were like, we don't just

244
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: be cheaper to reuse that. It's so creepy.

245
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: Also so weird that the guy comes in, the dad

246
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: comes in, He's like, oh, I'm the baby's father, and

247
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: never goes who are you guys?

248
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Also the fact that that means that literally just

249
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: anyone could just happen to stroll in and watch someone

250
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: give birth.

251
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: Yes, because by the way, Chloe is supposed to not

252
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: know he's there because she thinks she's been abandoned. The

253
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: whole thing is that he doesn't alone she's having a baby.

254
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: She took a year abroad. I think she said.

255
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: I was like, so she told her parents. I think, yeah, that's.

256
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. So she has this whole concocted story

257
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: keeping this a secret, and then he shows up unbeknownst

258
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: to her. But it hangs out with Julian all night,

259
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: Like what I mean, hats off to that actor and

260
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: hats off to Austin because they made it work. You know,

261
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: they took this insane scenario off the page and they

262
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: made it really heartfelt. And I thought that that young

263
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: man did such a good job playing so lost and

264
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: so unsure of what he was doing and so overwhelmed.

265
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: And I liked getting to see in the same way

266
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: that you see Brooke be maternal with Chloe, helping her

267
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: through this. I liked getting to see Julian do that,

268
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: even for this person that he thought was a stranger

269
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: in the hallway. It's a very sweet moment for them,

270
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: and it made the surprise quite a reveal. But my god,

271
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: it is so hard for me to get past the

272
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: shenanigans of the theater and enjoy the episode because I'm like,

273
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: this is so silly. Kind of takes me out.

274
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: That little bit that was a rough one.

275
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: I actually wonder for our friends at home. I really

276
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: am curious. I wish we could take callers on this show,

277
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: because I'd love to know if it just drives us

278
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: crazy as actors who are very used to you know, sets,

279
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: and what feels like jumping the shark or is the

280
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: audience also like, no, this is absolutely ridiculous. We feel

281
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: the same way. So if anyone wants to write in,

282
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I would love.

283
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: To know comment on this gang because you don't have

284
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: to be in entertainment to go. That doesn't exist in hospitals, right,

285
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 4: Like it's not inside baseball. That's just anyone who's ever

286
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 4: been in a hospitals like what? Also, no other show

287
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 4: is even doing that because again, it doesn't exist, not real.

288
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: It's the strangest thing. But speaking of really good performances,

289
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: and just to jump ahead, a bit Levin has this

290
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 4: incredible moment when Brooke and Julian walk into the room

291
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: and the baby is born. There is the moment where

292
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: you can tell everything has changed for her. She wordlessly,

293
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 4: just with her eyes. You can see her say like

294
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, no it's not yet, everything's changed.

295
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: And you see it in your eyes, Sophia, like the

296
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: shift that you receive.

297
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 4: That Yes, it was such a powerful moment. The storytelling

298
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: happening between Chloe and Brooke was, and then.

299
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: Julian realizing it too and turning to Brooke. I mean

300
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: that moment I was. I actually I don't cry a

301
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: lot watching our show because I just feel kind of

302
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: removed from it, and but it's also so familiar that

303
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: I know a lot of it already, and I cried.

304
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: I just sat there and was like, my heart broke.

305
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: That was rough. Yeah, it's heavy, and.

306
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: You guys performances were so beautiful. Yeah, that's what made

307
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: me so happy about Austin as a director that he.

308
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: Was like, who directed this?

309
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: Who allowed the actors to sit there and do their

310
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: work quietly? God bless whoever allowed the actors to do this,

311
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: because it's not common on our show.

312
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: And then it was just so sad and painful, and

313
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: it was such a great shot where it was like

314
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 4: it was sort of over everyone waiting for the news

315
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: about Haley to in the background Brooke and Julian who

316
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: were obviously super upset, and then you guys having to

317
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: pull it together and then walk over with the secret

318
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: which is like you are crying because your heart is broken,

319
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 4: not because of this.

320
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: Oh oh you did that so well, Sophie. Oh my god, speaking.

321
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so devastating. And it's really interesting because I

322
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: remember how impactful it felt for all of us at

323
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: the time, you know, particularly just existing in a world

324
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: where you read about people's stories. You know what people

325
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: go through, you know, trying to build their families and

326
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: all of these things. And it's crazy how how well

327
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: I think it played. And I remember it feeling special

328
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: then and now, like just by a nature of living longer,

329
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 1: you know, by nature of all of us being in

330
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: this phase of our lives. It's like it's even heavier

331
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: to me. And it's just there's there's elements of it that,

332
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, the overarching story that I think we probably

333
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: could have done a bit better with. You know, some

334
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: of it feels a little talking point y, But my god,

335
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: I was like, whoof this hits me even harder now,

336
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: just all the things we've seen.

337
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 3: I'm just so glad it wasn't It wasn't talked to death.

338
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: There wasn't a page of explanation. It wasn't me too, Like,

339
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: it just wasn't overdone. The simplicity of a broken heart

340
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 3: doesn't require a ton of explanation. I everybody knows what

341
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 3: that feels like. And you just need to see the

342
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: exchange between the artists.

343
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, emotion and.

344
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: I think too, you know, to your point about the

345
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: way it was directed, us being allowed to be in

346
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: it and instead of you know, doing the fast pushing

347
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: or whatever, everything just crept up on you. You know,

348
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: the camera moved in slowly and you start to wonder

349
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: is it slow motion or is it what's really happening?

350
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: And it's just what's really happening. But everyone is having

351
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: it hit them in that way where it feels like

352
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: time slows down.

353
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it wasn't just that moment. It was the

354
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: whole episode, like the whole storyline. I should say, in particular,

355
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: because Austin was great about giving the appropriate tone per

356
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: scene depending on the storyline. But for you guys, when

357
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 3: Levin is in the bed and she keeps saying I

358
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: just couldn't do it alone. I couldn't do it alone,

359
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: he lingers on you just a little too long, and

360
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 3: it gives the audience the information they need, Like that

361
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: is kind of an interesting thing to say, is that

362
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: the only reason you're going to give up your child

363
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: because you're afraid you can't handle it on your own.

364
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: And then you start wondering is that.

365
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: It is Brooke going to say, hey, if that's the

366
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: only reason, like you are strong, you are that. I

367
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 3: don't know if that's really the reason that you should, like,

368
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: if there's a whole lifestyle, if you know, there's so

369
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: many factors, But if it's just that you're afraid you

370
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 3: can't handle it, it just puts Brooke in such an

371
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: awkward position. And I feel like I could read all

372
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: of it on your mind in that moment. And then

373
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: we cut away to something else, but it was it

374
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: was a foreshadowing that there's something else coming.

375
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: No heartbreaking.

376
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: I love in the There was an earlier scene with

377
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: Nathan Haley. It's when when you're going Haley's going through

378
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 4: contractions and and you're like, just just tell me a story,

379
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: and he's like, I'm I'm blanking and she's like, just

380
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 4: You're like, just tell me any story in the history

381
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 4: of the world.

382
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: He's like about three little pigs. I don't know why.

383
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so good man. And then the other

384
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 4: funny contraction moment that made me laugh was and and listen,

385
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: there's a there's a there's a lot of ways in

386
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 4: which this could just could happen. But in the moment,

387
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: I went, ok, this was written by a dude. When

388
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 4: Levin is on the bed and Brooke is there and

389
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 4: she's like, she goes she's obviously having a contraction, but

390
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 4: she goes, ooh contraction, And I was like, you know what,

391
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 4: I uh, could you imagine like in a war movie

392
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 4: if someone gets shot and they fell down the battlefield

393
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: and they were like, oh, good shot.

394
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: Like never, It's like.

395
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 4: You know again, I'm like, it doesn't take me out

396
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: of the scene. But I laughed, going like I've been

397
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: two deliveries with my wife and I never once heard

398
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 4: her go ooh contraction. It's like everyone knows why every yeah.

399
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, And isn't it ironic that we were allowed

400
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: to allow so much We were allowed to have so

401
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: much of the communication in this episode be without words,

402
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: and then literally the most obvious word is written as

403
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: dialogue for an actor to perform.

404
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hi, have you ever have you seen or heard?

405
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 4: Have you heard the story about Kevin Sorbo he played Hercules?

406
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 4: There's a clip. Everyone should do this, do yourself a favor. Everyone,

407
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 4: Oh boy, go on YouTube and uh just search Hercules. Disappointed.

408
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 4: So what happened was apparently there was in the script

409
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: there was a line he was supposed to deliver, and

410
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 4: then they had, like they do often scripts in parentheses,

411
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: a word to sort of a case the actor doesn't know,

412
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 4: like the tone of it, and the word was disappointed.

413
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 3: No.

414
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 4: Watch the clip because old Kevin sorbo no. He's like,

415
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 4: I don't recognize this world anymore and he takes a

416
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 4: dramatic pause and he just goes dear saw boy Dad

417
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 4: stayed in the episode. This was like that where it's

418
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 4: like they were like, we don't want to just to

419
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 4: say oh and not no, so let's put in parenthes.

420
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 4: It's a contraction. It was like that moment, Oh contraction,

421
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 4: Oh my.

422
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: God, that's great.

423
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 4: That's hilarious.

424
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: You know he was screwing around. He had to have been.

425
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: She was, that's hilarious. And also like, it's even more

426
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: funny that the editor and the producers were like, let's

427
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: just keep it.

428
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 5: Believe it.

429
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he owes me money, keep it in. There was

430
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 4: a lot of fun in this episode. I again I

431
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: saw the writers writing to Rob as opposed to Clay.

432
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: When we get to the we get to the hospital,

433
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, I got snacks. I got this, I got comics.

434
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: There's something, and then Jamie goes, oh you got comics.

435
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: And Clay goes it was my favorite Rob.

436
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 4: They're called graphic novels.

437
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah no, you said there that you said graphic novels,

438
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 3: but you said it like you were so disappointed in him.

439
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: So I made it so.

440
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 4: Great because this was a struggle in my personal life

441
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 4: because I read a lot of comics, and I had

442
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: to be like, I read graphic novels because at the

443
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 4: time I was turning thirty, and it felt just a

444
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 4: little bit weird to say, like I like comics, you know.

445
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: Made you feel like you still had your head gear on.

446
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, like exactly. It felt like a bit more

447
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: of a grown up when I called them graphic novels,

448
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 4: when let's be honest, it's just a couple comics glued together.

449
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: It's so great.

450
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: I loved that.

451
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: I loved just giving you some quips with Quinn too

452
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: about Uno in the Game of Chance and all of

453
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: your little banter. That was really fun. It felt so natural.

454
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 3: I loved that the saltine stuff was so great. Every

455
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 3: line you said was just NonStop spittle, like a mouthful

456
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: of powder.

457
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: It's so great. Yeah, it's fun.

458
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 3: I wonder how many people went to their cupboard and

459
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 3: got saltines out after the episode and sat with their

460
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: friends and tried to do this.

461
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 5: Well.

462
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: This was one of the early challenges because by now

463
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: we were on social media. I don't think Instagram existed yet,

464
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: or maybe it had just started. But remember we all

465
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: we just started to get on Twitter around twenty ten,

466
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: and I remember it was the saltine challenge was going around,

467
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: and it's ironic that we couldn't say that in the

468
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: episode because then we would have had to pay I

469
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: don't know whatever that company is, Nabisco or whatever, because

470
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: saltine is a brand. So you had to be like,

471
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: do you know you can't eat six crackers in under

472
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: a minute? Because it was the saltine challenge.

473
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: That's oh right, crackers.

474
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 4: Also fun fact, So do you know that you are

475
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 4: the person who signed me up for Twitter? That tracks

476
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 4: you were on it. I didn't know what it was.

477
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 4: I was obviously on the show, and you're like, oh, yeah,

478
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 4: you got to get in this thing, and you like

479
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 4: actually helped me set up my account and then immediately

480
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 4: like followed me and tweeted out like Robs on Twitter

481
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 4: on Twitter and I got a jillion followers and was like,

482
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: what the hell just happened? So you are the one

483
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 4: who held my hand into the world of social media,

484
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 4: so thank you and also shame on you.

485
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 3: Well, I think you were the first one on our

486
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: show to have it, or you were like right on

487
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: top of that.

488
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: I was, well, first of all, rub You're welcome, an

489
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Second, I was really and here's the irony, right, Like,

490
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: there's nothing I like to watch more online than videos

491
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: of people cooking. But I remember when Twitter first started,

492
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: I was like, who gives a shit what anyone's eating

493
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: for breakfast? Lame turns out me I do. I give

494
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: in a major way. But at the time I was like,

495
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: this feels so stupid. And then when Deepwater Horizon happened,

496
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: and I, you know, had been working with all these

497
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: incredible climate lawyers and activists who were all based in

498
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: the South, like my friends in New Orleans, were like,

499
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: we went to golf shores and they are not telling

500
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: the truth about this disaster on the internet or on

501
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: the news. And I was like, well, we have the internet,

502
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: so maybe we should just do it. And Austin and

503
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I flew down there with all the people from Global

504
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: Green and like essentially live streamed what was happening with

505
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: like our friends, you know, fishermen and all these amazing

506
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: people down in Louisiana who were like, we need help here.

507
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: This is an ecological disaster. And it's so crazy to

508
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: me to realize, like we had no idea what we

509
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: were doing with social media. We just were like, well,

510
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: this feels like a pretty good way to get information

511
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 1: out that people can't censor.

512
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 4: Hello, and now used to be fun. Remember it used

513
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 4: to be.

514
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: Just like a place. It wasn't necessarily a weaponized cesspool.

515
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: But that's really I'm sorry, comes in rob that You're welcome.

516
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: Was when it was cute and fun and we could

517
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: joke about snacks.

518
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 4: It started off as the peach Pit, and it quickly

519
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 4: devolved into that underground fight club in fight Club.

520
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, now it's just the Hunger Games, But at the

521
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: time it was adorable and I do recall how excited

522
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: we were about some of those early challenges and it

523
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: made it into an episode though you know, we had

524
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: to lie about the said crackers.

525
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: Were either of you either, did either of you ever

526
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: accomplish this task?

527
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: Like is it. Is it accomplishable? It's not doable.

528
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: Apparently. The issue is I suppose you could cheat and

529
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: like swig some water right before, but saltines are so

530
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: dry that you run out of saliva, like your mouth

531
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: can't make it fast enough.

532
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 4: I say this all the time because people ask like

533
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: my favorite scene, and this is one of them. Every

534
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 4: single take, I went full tilt, full tilt, Bookie. I

535
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 4: was trying to do it. It wasn't a bit When

536
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 4: you see me spinning out crackers, that's because I had

537
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 4: a mouthful crackers. Like that was me really committing. And

538
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 4: I take food challenges very seriously. I did not even

539
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 4: come close. No, it is so deceptively hard.

540
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: Wow will it work?

541
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 3: We think with rits or like something else or really

542
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: we know wheat thins.

543
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: It really has to be salted.

544
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 4: Wee thing for sure. A week and you're fine because

545
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 4: the saltea is just it's just it's salt and basically

546
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 4: it just SUPs up anything liquid or liquid adjacent immediately.

547
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's dry, especially because I think it's made

548
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: to be that way for soup. A trisc it now

549
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: has a nice oil base and you could probably get

550
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: six triskts down triskits with all that wheat the way,

551
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: I think much more likely than a saltine.

552
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: I feel like we need to try this.

553
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 4: Our next episode should just be us eating seeing comedy

554
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 4: snack foods we can eat six of under a minute.

555
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: Also, I actually think we should just do this at

556
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: the next convention line everybody up at a table and

557
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: see what happens. And it's like maybe every I don't know.

558
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: Every two hours we come back for another cracker, which undoable.

559
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, this is such a good idea. Are

560
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: you are you listening Friends with Benefits? This is your

561
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: next activity, Ray, get on it, let's go. That scene

562
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 4: was so much fun. The banter with clan Quinn was

563
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 4: so much fun. I love that we've now got to

564
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 4: see them be light and silly two episodes in a row.

565
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: So I think, at least for me, that's when claan

566
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 4: Quinn shine the most.

567
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: You know, yes, for.

568
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: Sure, you've finally just got to be happy.

569
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

570
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice to see the ease and the humor

571
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: with you guys, and you know, even just her running

572
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: around the hospital snapping photos. It's like you remember that

573
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: this is a joyous time and it does feel like

574
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: for you too, especially kind of a breath of fresh Yeah.

575
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: Well, because yet we had like two episodes of sort

576
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: of fun stuff and then it was just right into

577
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 4: like so much admire for a season. Hey, what's the

578
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 4: Is there any backstory to why Nathan collapsed during the game?

579
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was taking performance enhancing drugs in high.

580
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 4: School, so Dan was lying when the doctor was asking

581
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 4: him questions, and Dan Dan was being all self righteous he.

582
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: Knew I think Dan knew, yeah, and he was like

583
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: trying to get the doctor throw him off the trail

584
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: because he didn't want that on his record.

585
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 5: Oh interesting, Yeah, but I don't remember that moment of

586
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 5: him like stroking Nathan's forehead with his knuckles before he

587
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 5: woke up.

588
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 3: And just being all sweet and fatherly and look on

589
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: James's face is so great, like why are you being

590
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: so nice?

591
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

592
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 4: Hurry ah.

593
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: It registered for me almost like going, am I dreaming?

594
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

595
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: You know what is going on here? It was nice

596
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: to see those shifts. I mean, Dan is Dan, but

597
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: even to see him a bit out of character to

598
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: be reminded of when Victoria really shifts.

599
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it.

600
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: I remember being so moved by watching that moment in

601
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: season six, but seeing it again, I couldn't help but think, Wow,

602
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: it's really rare that we see an adult admit to

603
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: their adult child. I was wrong. This is the lesson

604
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: that I've learned. I wish I'd learned it sooner, and

605
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Something about just seeing that in a

606
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: flashback really hit me. I love that they gave that

607
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: to Victoria.

608
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 4: Was that seen from season six? Hawd You have been right,

609
00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 4: because it felt like that was Victoria changing, But I

610
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: hadn't seen that, which means it had to have been

611
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: you know, I know she wasn't anything like that seasons whatever,

612
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: you know, one through five or whenever she came in.

613
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's nearing the end of season six because

614
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: she encourages Brooke to go after Julian, and then it's

615
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: the end of the season when she goes to his

616
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: set and you know, admits that she's gonna that she

617
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: does love him and that she's going to let herself.

618
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of special to see the revelation again,

619
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: even though we've seen it. You know, it's been two years,

620
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: you forget, and it's it was cool for that to

621
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: kind of be a button. I liked that moment between them,

622
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: as Brooke is trying to imagine, you know, what a

623
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: different kind of parent shall be, what she will do

624
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: Differently thought it was really effective.

625
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: Because they had so many scenes to choose from. I

626
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: mean there were there were a lot of scenes where

627
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: Victoria had changed and was being more generous or kind,

628
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 3: and I really liked that they did choose that one,

629
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: and the flashback of the connection point between that and

630
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 3: Brooke talking about exactly what you're saying, the kind of

631
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: method that she wants to be. It was a really

632
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: it was kind of a perfect one for them to choose.

633
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: I think there were a lot of those mirroring moments.

634
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: What was the incident what happened to Haley that put

635
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 4: her in the hospital when Nathan was so worried about her?

636
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 3: I got hit by a car because Nathan was doing

637
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: he was always performing in performance enhancing drugs, and then

638
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: he got involved with a bookie and then look at

639
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: Rob's face. Yeah, and then Rick Fox hit me with his.

640
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 4: Car stop it no no freaking way.

641
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, meaning to hit Nathan, but winds up

642
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: hitting Haley and she's pregnant.

643
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: And she's pregnant. That's right, I was pregnant, and he.

644
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: Wants to hit Nathan because Nathan didn't throw the Ravens

645
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: game and Rick Fox and his his his crew were

646
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: betting on it.

647
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's incredible.

648
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: So welcome to another storyline that would have had us

649
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: landed on the soup. I probably did.

650
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure it did.

651
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: What's so hold on?

652
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: What?

653
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 4: Like, what were the side effects of these performance enhancing drugs?

654
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 4: Because this is like it made him cramp, It made

655
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 4: him so dehydrated he passed out, which what? Okay?

656
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: And aggressive?

657
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 4: He was like a roid Ragi type thing.

658
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: I think it was very It was like a you know,

659
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: speedy I don't know, like some kind of upper right

660
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: that just made him unstoppable.

661
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 4: Okay, he found some old fen Finn. That's a reference

662
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,280
Speaker 4: that two percent of our audience wonderstand. That was a

663
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 4: a diet drug that was very hot for a minute

664
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: in the what late eighties early nineties, and then whoops,

665
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 4: see doozles discovered it was killing people and they quickly

666
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 4: took it off the market. Thanks gosh, did I just

667
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 4: bring the podcast to a screeching hole by reconcing failed

668
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 4: medication from the late eighties. That not why everyone tuned

669
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 4: in today. My bad.

670
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,959
Speaker 1: I'm also laughing because we are never short on things

671
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: to talk about. And I'm looking at the clock and

672
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean, we've talked about the entire episode.

673
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 4: Bags like my notes, app, I got nothing I have

674
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: to same.

675
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, we went through them all. It's the shortest

676
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: amount of notes I've ever taken on an episode. And

677
00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do.

678
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 4: We'll let's do our listener question because conversation to us listener.

679
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 3: Question is is we don't know who it's from, but

680
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: hello to you. Haley tells Jamie he's not allowed to

681
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 3: have a baby in high school. But what is something

682
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 3: you did in your life that you wouldn't want your

683
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 3: kids repeating? Oh, fun, fun question, friend. Quite a few

684
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: things and a superb super.

685
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: Don't want my daughter to join a cult?

686
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, good luck following that answer either of us.

687
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: There's just so many things.

688
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: That is truly one of the if you can get

689
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 3: over yourself, it's one of the joys of parenting, the

690
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 3: opportunity to release the shame by continually talking about what

691
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 3: an idiot you were and how you can prevent your

692
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 3: child friendly how what you've learned, and and just being

693
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 3: able to be honest with them about it instead of

694
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 3: tiding it like previous generations used to do just culturally,

695
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 3: like hide all the things. Yeah, it's a real pleasure,

696
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 3: And now I have to say absolutely.

697
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: And I also think there's something. I don't know if

698
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: you guys feel this way, but I know I certainly do.

699
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: I've really noticed it in my life in the last

700
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: two years, where to your point, I'm not embarrassed by

701
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: anything anymore, right, I'm like, if anything, this is just

702
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: pure comedic fodder, like the insane things that have happened

703
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: in my our lives. You have to laugh. And then

704
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: when you realize, you just find your own past and

705
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: your own embarrassing things. Laundry lists so funny, you're like,

706
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: oh cool, yeah.

707
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah. I would say suffering in silence and oh

708
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 4: and playing small, because those two cost me a lot

709
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 4: a lot. Playing small cost me a lot emotionally and

710
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: in terms of growth and figuring out who I actually was,

711
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 4: and suffering in silence just brought a ton of pain

712
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 4: and time that was consumed when if I had known

713
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: to ask for help, and then it was Okay to

714
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: ask for help, I would, yeah, save myself a lot

715
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 4: of tough seasons.

716
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel that too. Thank you for that.

717
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people can relate to that.

718
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: And Rob, I think that's a big part of it too, Right,

719
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: is like if you really follow the trajectory of maybe

720
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: some of the things we wouldn't wish on our kids,

721
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: I think that's where they start very often, is when

722
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: you suffer something in silence, when you're trying to be

723
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: mature or sort of prove that you can handle it,

724
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: or you feel a little ashamed to admit you need

725
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: some help with something. Yeah, that's kind of how the

726
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: train leaves the station, and then by the time you

727
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: realize you want to get off, it's like speeding through

728
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: the mountains. I don't know why. Suddenly I've turned this

729
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: into like the Bucky scene and you know, the Marvel universe,

730
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm talking about. It's like, oh God,

731
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: I can't get off now.

732
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

733
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: And I think to teach our children or encourage even

734
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: in ourselves at this stage, a quickness to be as

735
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: honest as you need to be so that you can

736
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: have more emotional resilience is really special.

737
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

738
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so hard to do because it's not so

739
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 3: easy because it's not always just about I just have

740
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: to feel my emotion. There's other people involved, and you're

741
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 3: trying to sometimes protect a relationship or the possibility of

742
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: maybe it's me and I just haven't figured out what

743
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 3: my problem is, and I'm subconsciously I'm like, maybe I'm

744
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: blaming the other person, but it's actually my problem, and

745
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: I want to solve that before I go complain about

746
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 3: this person to somebody else. And I certainly don't want

747
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 3: to start triangulating things. And so I'm just going to

748
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 3: keep everything to myself until I figure it out on

749
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 3: my own. And it's just not how we're wired. We're

750
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 3: wired for community.

751
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think growing up, you also you only

752
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 4: know what you're exposed to to.

753
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.

754
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 4: And I had a dad who went to Vietnam when

755
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 4: he was eighteen. There was no language of the heart really,

756
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 4: you know, to speak of, and so I wasn't modeled

757
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 4: for me like asking for help or sharing about struggles.

758
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 4: So and that's through no fault of his because he

759
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 4: wasn't exposed to it either, you know. But it's it's

760
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 4: changing now. But like That's why I sort of didn't

761
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 4: know because it was like, oh, it's an in house job.

762
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 4: I got this was like the mantra, it's okay, I

763
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 4: got this, you know. And it's like, turns out I

764
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 4: didn't have this, and I had a therapist. He gave

765
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 4: me a great line. He said, tell the truth and

766
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 4: tell it faster. And I love that, right, because it's

767
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 4: like that applies to everything, whether it's like I'm struggling

768
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 4: or like, hey, what you're doing is not okay with me.

769
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 4: But it's like I had such a hard time telling

770
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 4: my truth in the past because it would be like

771
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: is this going to upset them? Is it going to

772
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 4: rock the boat? Okay, I'll just I'll hedge it. I'll

773
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 4: only say half of it, but I'll make it a joke. Yeah,

774
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 4: you know, And it's like, naw, dude, just tell the

775
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 4: truth and tell it faster.

776
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

777
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 3: We spend a lot of time performing just for that

778
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: to keep the peace or to protect our egos, and

779
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 3: we're worried about feeling insecure or being seen in a

780
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 3: certain way or being misunderstood from what our heart actually is.

781
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 2: And I it's to.

782
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: Feel like you're constantly performing that way but then how

783
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 3: can I ever actually grow if I'm not just being

784
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 3: honest and saying the truth and saying it faster. Even

785
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: if the truth is ugly, Hopefully there's good enough friends

786
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 3: around to go ooh, that was ugly, and then you

787
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 3: can deal with it and grow. But if you're never

788
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 3: exposing those parts of yourself and you don't ever have

789
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 3: safe people around to do that with, how are you

790
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 3: actually supposed to grow?

791
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 4: And if you are constantly curating other people's experience of you,

792
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 4: you are never giving anyone else a chance to actually

793
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 4: know you.

794
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you feel lonely and unsee for sure.

795
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, listener question.

796
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 3: Okay, I hope you all can. I hope everybody out

797
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 3: there can get something out of that. I certainly did.

798
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,959
Speaker 3: I feel like I can relate to that a lot.

799
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: It's a constant that's a constant journey.

800
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, you only gave us a fifteen minute

801
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 4: long episode. Well, let us talk about trauma and healing, hey,

802
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 4: and that we can do for hours.

803
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: That we can do sort of our brand around here,

804
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 3: spin a wheel, folks.

805
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. Most likely to spend hours curating the

806
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 4: perfect Instagram post was the wheel just listening to our conversation.

807
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 3: Wit, I will say that I end up doing. I

808
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 3: spend way more time trying to put together like a

809
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: dumb reel, like just some that I think is funny,

810
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: like when my dogs opened up fertilizer all over my

811
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 3: couch and then I had to deal with cleaning that up,

812
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh my god, this is funny.

813
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: And so I took some videos.

814
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 3: But I am so not tech savvy with this stuff,

815
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: and so it takes way too long, I find myself.

816
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 3: I don't know about hours, but way longer than I

817
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: wanted to spend, because usually I'll get halfway through and

818
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 3: then hit a button and the whole thing disappears and

819
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: I have to start all over again. It makes me insane. Yeah,

820
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 3: so I really don't post a lot of those things

821
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 3: because it takes too long. I don't my brain can't

822
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 3: handle it.

823
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: I feel that way too, and it's weird because it

824
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: feels like such a chore. But then I also realize,

825
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: like there'll be a hundred things that could be interesting

826
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: to share, and of those I shared maybe two. I

827
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: just don't have the energy for it. I don't know.

828
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: I sometimes I wish I was better at it, because

829
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, if only the things that feel like the

830
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: most important, like make it out there.

831
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 3: I know, I'd rather just call a friend to come

832
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 3: over and enjoy the weird moment with me.

833
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, do I really need to upload it for people?

834
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

835
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: It's like it's not the first place my brain goes.

836
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: But then people that are really good at it, I'm

837
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: so amazed by. I'm like, how did you do that?

838
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 1: This thing that you made?

839
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: How lovely?

840
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I'm not that skilled.

841
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 4: I will overthink it, but I will. I will get

842
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 4: through the photo portion, like I don't really mess with filters,

843
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 4: but I will spend way too much time working with

844
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 4: like the nuance of the caption and being like this

845
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 4: word's too long, Okay, this word could be funnier.

846
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: The comedian you're working the joke, yea.

847
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, but it's like I will spend you know,

848
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 4: I'll save it as a draft, wake up next morn

849
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 4: and be like, no, no, it should have been witch.

850
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: I love that.

851
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 3: No, it's a creative outlet though that makes total sense

852
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 3: for the comedian that you are, and it's real work.

853
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 3: Like do you remember when Barbara was on the show

854
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 3: and she said that she dated Jerry Seinfeld and she

855
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 3: was saying that he was very serious about the business

856
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 3: of being funny. I think that was her quote. He

857
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 3: was very serious about being funny. And I don't know

858
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 3: why that keeps coming up to me in random moments,

859
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 3: but I think that's part of it for you, Rob.

860
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 3: Isn't it like you're serious about being funny, You're good

861
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 3: at it, and you want it to work, so.

862
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: Of course you're gonna it's a creative outlet.

863
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and it matters to me. Tracks you know,

864
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 4: It's like if it's a photo and I'm not as

865
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 4: worried of like do I look handsome as much as

866
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 4: like if it's a caption, is like did I land

867
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 4: the plane? Is it as funny as it could have been?

868
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 3: You know?

869
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 4: Then I care.

870
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: Is there a character who would be spending hours on

871
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 3: social media trying to curate the perfect post, like I'd

872
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 3: say Alex. But I also feel like Alex would just

873
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 3: be like whatever, and she would just literally post anything.

874
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 4: She's too fast and loose I think to spray hours

875
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 4: doing it. I mean, I would say mouth because he

876
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 4: has that kind of time right now. He Wow and

877
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 4: he's he's hit with like he was like the first

878
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 4: person to ever have a podcast that I knew of. Yeah,

879
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 4: I could see him being savvy with it.

880
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 3: And he's always inventing himself, reinventing himself with different So

881
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 3: he's got like this push to get something out there.

882
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, ok mouth answer.

883
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 4: Although I do love the idea of Dan sitting in

884
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 4: some dingy garage obsessing over like the right picture and

885
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 4: the right filter for his post.

886
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: By the way, Dan Scott definitely has a troll account.

887
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

888
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's an absolute anonymous nightmare on the Internet.

889
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 3: How has nobody created a Dan Scott trolling account just

890
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 3: to start trolling all of us? Oh?

891
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, so freaking fun. That's a great job.

892
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 2: You should do it.

893
00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 4: I think Paul should do it. Good at being Paul's

894
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 4: funny man?

895
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,440
