Gilmore Girls Gazette: Parenthood: All the Eggs in the Ed Basket (Season 5 E2 & E3)

I am all in again. Y'll more Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo, an iHeartRadio podcast. Hello everybody, we are back for another episode of Parenthood and I like this. I liked these episodes rather not episodes.

Better than the premiere for sure.

Yeah, these were good.

My problem was when you just started this, I fully glitched and was like I remember what these episodes are about, which isn't a great sign. But now that I'm looking at the notes, I'm like, oh yeah.

Yeah, yeah, no. I actually ironically watched the last half of the last one right before this as I fell asleep.

I get it excited and I watch him like right away.

Yeah no, but these were good. I really liked both of these episodes. Well, Julia and Joel are really I.

Want to know what you think of the dad at school.

I'm just so annoyed of him. One.

Why are you annoyed at him?

Though?

What did he do?

He's a weirdo?

Why why do you think that? What do you mean?

He just is? I there's a vibe and I don't like the vibe. And what's his name? Why is it? I'm trying to remember his.

Name in real life and on the show he's named Ed Brooks.

Ed.

Remember when Joel's like, why didn't go tell?

And you know what, I was like, you know what, Joel, I would have done this. I would have said the same thing you did. Go consult your bff ED instead of me, your partner of years, and go listen to what he has to say. Screw Ed. Come on, I mean his name is.

He. Here's the thing. I'm trying to really be open minded, and I don't hate Ed in any way. I know what happens, So it's a little hard for me to.

Fully Clia fully has an affair with this guy, obviously, am I right?

Yeah?

Emotional one hundred percent. The writing is so on the wall. It's only two episodes of ED, and I know Ed's going to be a problem, fully a problem.

Here's the thing.

I think I messed up by telling you, like a while ago.

That there's trouble in Paradise.

Yeah, and I really shouldn't have done that.

I would have felt that regardless, because.

That's what I'm wondering.

He is literally putting all her eggs in the Ed baskin. She doesn't even know this.

She's flirty with him at all. I think she's just very like, this is a dad and I'm kind of friends with him. But I don't get flirty vibes yet, I'll say yet from either of them.

I don't get necessarily flirty. But she's taking his word over her husband for sure, and like just confiding in a lot that she should stranger with.

I don't want to be combative, but I do think I don't think she's really taking Ed's advice. I think she's processing the whole thing and maybe has an opinion similar to Eds. Look, it's tricky, right, They're basically like, hey, Victor's struggling.

Now.

My thing is what I need to know is how's he doing in the other subjects? Do you know what I mean? Because it's like maybe he just needs a reading specialist. I don't know.

But well, and that's what the teacher was saying, like he's very bright, he he's on his way, you know, he just needs help.

But she said there is the potential he could be held back, and so I understand why she's like, rip the bandit off, maybe we do it now.

Keyword potential, but there's also potential.

Okay, so what would you what would you do?

I would give my child every resource I possibly could and really practice hard to keep him where he's at. I would, I would, I would try very hard.

Right, there's a big difference between doing kindergarten again or whatever.

Try to set him up for success. At that point, once we've exhausted resources and we know that we've tried hard to catch him, you know, get him up to speed, then already, then you have the conversation, he's not getting it. We have tried very hard to get him to this point, he's not getting it. Let's discuss what plan B is since Plan A failed. The problem that Julie is.

I mean, look, what I would do is move schools, hold him back and move schools. He doesn't need to be in the same grade as his sister, just move schools.

But like this, without trying.

I'm saying no, But I think they've been trying, and I think that's her point. But I'm saying, we get to that point, we would do that. But maybe I'm not there yet.

Yeah, I don't think we're there yet. I think this is like the first conversation that they're having with the time.

I'm just not that mad that she's like talking to Ed Brooks, because if she was talking to Sally Field, no one would care. Everybody's all up in arms because it's Ed and not Mary. I tried to find a word that rhyme with Ed. I wanted to be like, it's not Pat, it's you know, but then I just glitched. I couldn't think of a girl name that sounds like Ed.

Yeah, is there ted ev ev?

Not bad? Yeah, But I think that Joel's particularly like chaps his hide if because it's a guy. And then also, yeah, the wife is kind of gossipy, but like, I'm not getting any vibes that there's trouble in Ed's marriage.

I just think there's more to it. Like I get what you're saying, but that's like very surface level. I also think like from Joel's perspective, he was the person that stayed home and handled all this stuff prior to the scenario, and I feel like, based off of what we saw of him during that time, he really tried hard to be there for Sydney and really did all the things.

Did the better stay at home parent than she is.

Yes, But the one thing that I like that is Julia's fault is when things get hard, she just pivots instead of like sitting with it and trying to like work on it.

She just goes, what did you think when she lied to ed about being a lawyer? What did that make you think?

You know, I got it that. I was very bothered by that, because it's like her whole his reaction.

When she told him the truth was perfect. I was like, we don't, we don't. I don't care.

I agree. I didn't fault for that because either it was her identity for so long.

Is anyone acknowledging that the reason he's having trouble reading is because he's bilingual. Like that's what I'm like, how come we not just talking about the elephant in the room. He's bilingual, so maybe he can read Spanish better? Like do you know what I'm saying? Like they're all not talking about that he's bilingual.

Right, but I think he's always been in English. I actually don't know English school. I don't know.

Well, right, we don't know. And also if you're only hearing Spanish at home and maybe you're reading in Spanish at home.

Yeah that's fair. I don't know.

I just feel like I don't know that. Look there they're telling us to something that would take three hours and they're telling us in three minutes, but we exactly Yeah, of the information. Yeah, what do you think about Zeke and Camille? Potentially the house? The house is sort of falling apart.

I get where Zeke's coming from, because it's like his what He's built his whole life for this house, and it is tied to so many memories that are really important to him. And he's worked hard painting this, and Camille has done the garden and you know whatever, like they've done all the things, and this is this is their home. This is where their family gets together. So I get it. It's a cool house.

It's just not for me. It's a cluttery, big, messy, broken house.

Right.

That house needs so much work.

Home, it's their home.

I understand what Camille's like being realistic, you.

Know, I actually think it's the opposite. I think Zeke is being realistic. We are older, we have this house that's paid off, our family gets together here, we have we you know, we this is our home, Like this is where we are going to die, right or whatever. But Camille is not unrealistic. But she's like, I need more.

I need to get out of this house. I need to now at least my line of acknowledging.

It's a bit of a money pit.

Yeah, and it's a money pit, but also it's like the same same, same, same same, and right now she wants to feel something and she wants to do something.

I guess Sarah is the super so she's not paying rent at that place because I'm like, wht'sn't Sarah to start paying rent to them and then they use that money, do you know what I mean? I feel like there's a better plan here. It's like kind of insane, but whatever. It's just sort of a storyline that I kind of like, but I kind of don't care. I don't want to be mean about that, but I'm just sort of like, Okay, I get it interesting, not.

Really, I think it's a real, real, real story. Like there are people who retire and they're in their home that they've had forever and raised all their children, but now it's there at a point in their lives where they're trying to change things and that might mean letting go one of their biggest memories.

Who do you think is the star of the show one you can only pick one? Zeke I kind of agree. It's like the patriarch idea, like everything does ultimately sort of revolve around him. I guess my second is Adam. I do feel like of all of them, he's sort of the legend.

I agree, Yeah, I agree with that.

Well, okay, what do we think of Sarah Hank? And like, I'm kind of confused?

Can you make it out already?

I just just like, why did you break up and now you're best friends? I don't understand what's happening.

I don't like it. Make out, get back together, take go to the shoot with her, help her, give her advice, give her pointers, like come on, come on.

I mean was this the one where Max is with him again? Yes?

Yes? And also Max Sarah does Christina's photo shoot?

Correct, Right, we'll get to that. Which I like that. I look. I like Sarah Hank just be together, like Jason Richards is not gone now he's off the show, like he might come back one more time, Like, just don't make me deal with this. You know, yeah?

I want them together. I like them together. I freaking love Ray Romano. Can we just like have a second for Ray Romano? He is so cute and he is the perfect person to play this role. Oh, I totally agree, and it just makes me so obsessed with him.

I think is like one of his best roles ever because it's like he's weirdly the hottest. I know, we've talked about it at nauseum, but he's like the hottest he's ever been.

I agree, he really is.

What did you what Amber's engagement?

Yeah? I got annoyed. Amber's for sure running to Sarah Forson' say mom, I got engaged. He's not telling her mom in front of everybody else.

I disagreement. I think she would, but I just because I think this engagement is dicey. I think Sarah's reaction is totally reasonable. I think I also cried at the end when she's like, here's magazines. I think Hank knowing that Sarah was going to be kind of freaking out. I think it was all that was all good.

Yeah, I actually thought I thought it was good. But I do not believe that Amber would not tell her mom first, that I thought I thought was weird.

Didn't they just go straight to the family party?

They did? But that's what I think is like, I.

Feel like that I was unbothered by that.

No, that bothered me fair, I mean, to each his own person.

That didn't bother me at all. I was like, it's fine, okay, I don't care. I just feel like like it and engaged so fast, and.

I know, I know I did like him. At the end of the episode.

I love the scenes with Drew and Amber and oh my god, Ryan, why do we call him Ryan? So I love the scenes. First of all, when he comes over, It's like, I love that whole thing. That was amazing. And then I love when they go to the dorm room. The whole thing was just like amazing, it was right.

And my favorite is Drew's like my roommate is that the lacrostic on the door. I'm like, okay, well you're have a lacrostic too, don't hang out there.

About the cutie scrabble girl. Why do we know her? I know she's so cute, and I know we're going to talk about how we know the campaign manager. She's like, that's Journey Smollette. That's Jesse Smollett's sister. She's like in a million things, But who plays the girlfriend? Can someone tell me that? Because she is, She's so familiar, it's ridiculous.

I'm like, who is that? Yeah, Jackie's not on our I guess, but we can look that up. She's definitely somebody that's in a million things. I just can't think of what I liked her. That was cool. I like scrabble.

I love that he.

Go a bathroom. Very Berkeley. We definitely. I didn't live in the dorms, but the dorms are co ed bathrooms, just like that really bigger, I think bigger, like it wouldn't be so squishy, like you're not like waiting for a shower, but definitely showery shower. I didn't live in the dorms. I lived in this like other house. That's where my story. Yeah, coed bathrooms. Have you ever been in the restaurants with the co ed bathrooms where you're like startled?

Yes? Were? You are hands together and you're like a very jarring it is very jarring. But I find that interesting because.

I feel like I think a lot of colleges do that.

No, I disagree my well, okay, I went to l e O whatever, But my my floor, my dorm was co ed, but it was a floor, a girl floor. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I didn't live in the dorm so I'm doing my best to remember.

Then I went to UC Davis for one semester. Even there, it was co ed floors, so like my neighbors across a bad Boys, but it was still separate. But the girl's bathroom was downstairs and the boys was upstairs.

I don't want to be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it cal Nope, Nope, Lyndon Smith is her name, who plays the cow girlfriend. Let me see what I know her from, because you probably know her from the same thing. So I'm going to quickly, very quickly scan the IMDb, as one does, and it will come to me. Oh okay, so she did one episode of Criminal Minds, so that was not what I know her from. I know her from something that she did definitely a lot of episodes of because she was very familiar. Why don't you talk about something interesting? Well, I quickly figure out what I know her from.

Well, I wanted to ask Ebbie, who's on here, who just graduated college not too long ago, what was it like at UCLA?

I almost said I know her from Parenthood.

This co ed bathrooms, I do not think those were not a thing. I lived on a co ed floor like next door neighbors were guys. I was, you know, in a girl's dorm room. But the co ed bathrooms, I've never heard of that, and UCLA is pretty loosey goosey.

So I don't know what I know Lynden Smith from other than this and maybe one episode of Criminal Minds. But anyway, I think we had co ed bathrooms. Somebody can fact check me. I'm so sure somebody will tell me. What else did I want to talk about?

Anythink of the whole Adam supporting Christine.

She came in hot the campaign manager. She's obviously like a good campaign manager, but she came in hot. That was like. And I think she's also from Friday Night Lights. I think he also had her on Friday Night Lights. I'm ninety nine percent sure of that. Someone can also check. But I don't know. Christ she's going to lose. I think, oh, I don't know. I don't remember. Yeah, she's gonna lose.

I think you would remember if she was the mayor.

I agree, I don't. I don't think she wins. I don't think Adam's wrong, but I also support her run for it. I don't know where all this money is coming from. I definitely worried about that the whole time. Remember they were like struggling to send what's he doozy to Cornell?

What I know? And then Adam's like, Sarah Ramos is her name.

Hattie Hatty Hattie, And so suddenly there's just all this money and I don't understand how that's happening. And anyway, she's not gonna win.

Oh, he's just very the lead I thought.

Was on Friday Nightlights. I don't remember. It's not a big storyline. There is a big storyline coming with Christina and Adam, which I do remember, and this is not it. Oh yeah, Heather Hall, she did work on the Obama campaign. We learn that, and she's a feisty gal and I like her. But it's a lot. It's just a lot and sort of random, and I'm just like, okay, I.

Don't yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

And I'm not into the baby being annoying.

Which one No, Adam and Christia lady, Oh.

No, that baby's not annoying. That baby's adorable.

I disagree, Jasmine and Crosby. I literally like, am I watching my life on a TV?

Is that how annoying your baby is?

No?

What are you talking about? Annoying. That is a normal baby.

It's a restaurant scene bothered me. And then Rob Crosbery cats.

That is a real thing. When you take any kid under the age of three to a restaurant, you're like, please don't make a mess, Please don't have a tantrum of something.

What other people really complain I wouldn't. I would never.

Well, here's the thing tip tip for the wise out there, if you do have a child under three, don't go somewhere where there's not other children under three there, like right is.

Right?

But also if you're like the other people in the restaurant, I just don't think they're going to be doing staring and making a scene and coni you would.

Be surprised, like the people you find on airplanes and you know, the people that are just that they just don't have the patience for it.

But also I felt like that baby was really, really, really crying a lot, and I feel like they would have just taken aroundside for a minute.

Yeah. I mean, that's so that's happened to us once. We've been very lucky, and it's with our newest baby had a full meltdown mid breakfast and we have it was like maybe ten seconds of him just screaming, and my husband looked at my loan was like, and we're out, Danielle will see you in the car.

Okay, yeah, see that's or like, what about just a break and then coming back in. I don't I don't know. I cannot remember having all the babies in the restaurants. I know we did it. It's quickly you skipped to the iPad stage. I feel like we went from zero to the iPad, and the iPad solved a lot of problem.

My older one is I don't have no shame.

Ye know, my nieces but eat dinner. They were not allowed the iPad during dinner, but my brother would literally order their food the minute that they sat down, and then they would eat. Then they got the iPad while everyone else ate.

I do exactly what your brother does, totally exactly. With my drinks, comes the children's order. Oh yeah, he's macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers and fre French fries and a glass of wine. Thank you. And then.

Guess what one of my nieces has been eating since she's like two years old. Caesar salad and salmon Caesar salad with the anchovies and she'll take the anchovy, just like, oh, oh my god. It was like a very advanced palette. Like we go to the ice cream and she's like, I'll have the lavender honey, and I'm.

Like, oh you go, girl, you got.

A palette of a seventy year old lady.

That's awesome, good fir.

Yeah, I don't know, just bragging, thank you.

Yeah, it's a good brag.

Yeah. But that baby's look, it's a lot of crying for even me to watch on TV.

Yeah, no, it's a lot. It's I'll give it to you, but it is very real.

But and then the whole Crosby having a meltdown and flapping the you know plate, I'm like, he's not doing that.

So mad.

I think he would be like so sorry, so sorry, let me go outside, right right, Jabbar. I liked the whole, like bonding with Jabbar, and I did like the scene at the end where Crosby the baby's taking the bottle and she's watching. That was cute.

Yeah, that was cut you.

It was like warm and fuzzy.

Ryan and Amber. One thing we didn't talk about wash We briefly talked about it, but when you know, Drew was like my roommates sucks.

And when he went over there, and he went over.

There and was like, I'm a sergeant in the army. You better not mess with this dude. And I even I was like.

It was aggressive, but it was hilarious.

It was hilarious. He was like, bro, Bro, he goes, my name is not Bro. I loved it.

Here's my problem with parenthood. And I'm just gonna tell you, I'm enjoying it. But it's not.

Oh you're over it, You're so over just a little over it.

I'm not gonna lie. It's not firing me up to talk about in the same way. Like I I hate to say it, but like when we were sitting down to do this, I was like, wish she were doing listen if you want.

To Oh oh yeah, well, I mean.

Because there's so many other things in pop culture I want to talk about.

Sorry to say here, that's fair.

I mean whatever. On that note, thanks for listening, oh this bad boy. I'm just saying, like, it's not a very good way to like, yeah, shouldn't everyone be listening to us When I'm like, oh wow, I've been watching The Good One, which also has kind of like grown tired for me a little bit when.

You're like, everyone needs to watch the good one.

Here's the thing. I think the first season was great, and then I think I think I'm on season two now or something, and it's like maybe I'm like halfway through season one is just wan wa. I'm like, I want to watch a shark movie. I watched whatever. I'll tell you more next week on the sting.

All right, well, with's that being said, Braverman's out.

Oh wait, we didn't read it.

Oh eight Oh sorry, calm as I see nine point zero?

Wow, Okay, I liked him.
