I Am all in again Yell More Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo.
Then iHeart Radio Podcast.
We are back for another episode of Parenthood. I was so upset that I was not on last week to talk about the breakup. So upset. However, we will move on because of these two episodes. I bawled and I bowled.
On the Christmas episode or the like? Which one made you really with the bat going through, did you get.
Oh, I guess, I guess I'm separate. No, it was the second was it? It was with the videos?
Came the video?
The video? What video did that?
That was a Christmas episode?
Yea?
Then the Christmas episode just bald so.
Everybody can catch up quickly. Christina got sick from the cancer. Basically the chemo like weakened her immune system. I'm paraphrasing. I'm making this up, but I'm doing my best, and it kind of got sepsis.
She did. She went into septic shock.
Right, brutal, very ill. She's in the hospital. Adam's there. It's Christmas Eve. It's a total like, it's just like, oh, brutal. Pattie's stuck in the airport trying to get home. They did that, well, yeah, it looked pretty good. So she makes this video if she if she dies, basically let's just take the band aid off, and Adam watches it while she's well, you're leaving.
So so she went into septic shock and Adam was basically telling the doctors like, is she all right? And they were kind of like saying, we hope that she takes to the antibiotics, but only time will tell. This could go badly, this could go well, we have to wait for her body to respond. Yeah, because she was irresponsive, she wasn't communicating nothing, and so he got really shut us out, really scared, all that kind of stuff. He still seemed calm, right, But then she like woke up for a second and was basically like, Adam, I have a folder on my computer with video, with a video.
The kids must see it. And he was like, we will see it together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Christmas morning. Don't you worry, you will, you are strong, you got this whatever. So it cuts to their overnight sleeping. She's you know, passed out. He goes into her computer, he opens up the video, watches the video. She addresses each of the kids.
I when she got to the newborn one. I just lost my marbles, like I I was just crying, literally crying, and yeah, I mean luckily. What we find out is that she took to the antibiotics. She woke up and was feeling really good and hen strong and healthy.
Very good episode, good with Zeke. Zeke sort of like goes racing over. Adam's kind of like mad about it.
Ye.
Then Zeke kind of comes back and says like, I'm sorry, I made you a sandwich. I made you a sandwich.
I know, could you faint?
And then Adam says, please stay with me to the Dad and it's just like, oh, so good Santa.
The Santa story, Oh my god, we saw so much about Christina and Adam. Her shaving her head.
Oh correct, sorry because we're going to the sect because we're watching two at a time, guys, so correct. That was sort of so now she's well. But she goes out for girls night with the you know, sister in.
Laws, trying to act like everything is normal.
Hairs falling out, so she's like, f this, gonna get rid of it, and then Adam got kind of like startled by it in the middle of the night. Right, Adam and and Lauren Graham. Sarah try to go to get a wig, and that was hilarious. He's like, this one looks exactly like her.
Hair, and Lauren Graham's looks like no.
So she kind of gets mad, but then she realizes she should have gotten mad, so she plants this whole date night with Amber and she gets like a red wig.
Where's her best dress? Where's the sexy wig?
Young guy from Veronica Mars picks up on her and I think he was from Veronica Mars.
I love how they handled that, by the way, totally because she was like, oh, okay, I'm gonna flirt back. And then Adam sees that he's lurting and she and he was just kind of like, you do your thing.
And then she was too tired. They get back to the room and she's like, I gotta go to bed, which, oh, totally fine. So the but Adam in his shirt list that kind of was a little I was like, oh God, this is making me cringe a little bit.
Yeah, and his merv Griffin or whatever.
Oh, that was like, I think we're supposed to be a little cringey on it.
Yeah, it was supposed to be cringey.
Because he's got like a dad, A good dad pod is what I would say, right right? She call that, It's like.
Yeah, he's got a dead bod.
He's got like a dad, but bad one.
But you know what, don't off the dad bod. I think dad bods are cute. You don't like him, you like as I don't like as.
If you were gonna be like, do you want Tom Cruise? Peter Kraus, I'm like, I want Tom Cruise, but like I'm not like mad about it? Who is the mess dad bod? Like Tom Cruise is solid?
Yeah, I mean Chris Hemsworth.
Sometimes I wonder if Tom Cruise is like I'm holding it in a little bit. John hamm is you.
Know Chris hems were He's got three babies and he's I understand, but.
John Ham's I feel like John Ham's wasn't bad.
He's great, okay but great. But this is a game, My love Amelia done.
But when if we seen his shirt off? We have to think about who when did we ever see his shirt off?
I don't need to Eric.
Dane, Eric Dane, that was a good one, that towel. But he wasn't a dad. Well maybe he was in real life.
I don't know.
I'll come back to on this. That's a continuing conversation. Amber great, but then not great.
Oh my god, let's talk about Amber and Ryan.
That scene YI screaming, oh my.
God, I'm not healthy. This is not okay. I'm glad that she recognized she took herself out, her feelings, out of the equation and went from like a third party perspective to say, this just happened. I have this experience. I saw what my mom went through. I don't want that for myself, so I need to stop this pattern.
That was like, that was strong some therapy that she's had there, but I don't know. But his face I know, and he was really cleaning it up and coming back. But it was.
Labor and bad and you did bad that that did not warrant a hemote side text, I'm sorry, I love you. No that you need to apologize and do a grand gesture of some sort because what you did was almost unforgivable.
I don't want to ruin anything for you, but there might be another Friday Night Lights cast member coming into oh interesting, dun dun dune. I did sort of look ahead because I was like, where are we in the series? We're more than halfway. We are, yeah, but we still got a ways to go.
I think the rest of the seasons also are shorter.
So I think one is and one isn't. Like this one's short, then there's a normal one, then there's like a sort of a short one again.
But yeah, I mean this episode was nuts with Ryan and.
Amberg a limo.
Yeah, of course. I grew up in the nineties. Of course we did limos every homecoming and prom.
Nothing could make you more carsick than a limo. Horrible. I literally thought about that. I'm like, what, why, why are you doing that? I take this limo? Also, did you go the Limo's there again in the morning.
I did not put that together, but that is really fine. I was like, we know how much cars that is a long wait in returns.
So funny. So one of our bosses, like our big, big big boss, like Will's boss, so like that big of a boss. So we were at the Ieheart Awards. I will tell this story. I won't use names, but at the iHeart Awards, I see our big big boss with an empty chair next to him. Oh yeah, And I look back and I think to myself, you're gonna sit in that chair and you're gonna make this happen.
So I look at him and we're friends, but I'm like, who's sitting with you? And he says no one, and I said, I will, So I sit and we're going over like talking during the awards, like during commercial breaks, and I will. This was so funny. So I'm explaining, like I'm working on budgets and I'm trying to cut costs, and I go, but ground, ground is so expensive and he's like, what's ground And I'm like, welcome to Hollywood, Welcome to celebrities. Celebrities want a car to take them everywhere, and it is so expensive. So all I'm thinking is when they got that Limo, I was so distracted how expensive.
My whole body was like, oh my god, that's so expensive, like so expensive for the Limo. Right then, when I saw the Limo there in the morning, I'm thinking, did the Limo stay the night? They're gonna be bankrupt. Limos and ground. Ubers are expensive.
Ubers are extensive. Multiply it by five, I know, I know.
Hour Oh so that I literally was overcome by anxiety.
Limo.
So maybe the Limo came back, but get a ride from Amber. Ride in the back of that orange broke ass car in a saving thousands in thousands. Anyway, that was what was going through my mind.
Well, Amber doesn't have that car intact right now, so.
Banged up, it seems to Stork. How about the bat going through the window.
Yeah, Julian Joel's storyline was very I don't like it.
I can't know that was tossed or slipped.
Also, Sydney stopped antagonizing him.
Also, Sydney is valid in a lot of her feelings.
Oh, I agree, I agree, But she also was she doesn't love she doesn't love you. Oh my god, your mom doesn't love you. Yeah, Like, come on, I.
Cannot remember how this episode ended. Baby Crosby wants a baby. Yeah, the mother in law moved in.
Wait, you're just glazing over Julian and Joel Like, it's like a.
Side deadlines to me.
But it's so good.
So wait, are you talking about which part?
About the part where he literally was like, can you show my mom my test grade? And she and Sidney goes, what do you mean you just showed your mom? And he goes, no, my real mom, right, And then Julia.
Is like, and then they won't let them. They won't let me right right. And then they're like, we adopted you, and I'm like, no, you didn't. That does not work like that.
Well they claim they did and they didn't.
Like that is literally not how you can't just like, Hi, here's a kid whose mom went to jail and suddenly one day later he's adopted. That's like, literally, I don't again, people can correct me. I've never heard of it that way.
Right, I mean, I don't know that.
With a kid. I'm not talking about like a newborn. I don't know how that totally works. But this is a kid whose mom went to you know, prison and has been in the foster care system. I just don't think they let a family adopt him one minute later. I've seen that Mark Wahlberg movie.
I honestly have no idea, But I mean Victor's points were like, what why can't I be? I hurt me a little bit. He was like, why can't I be friends with her? I understand I can't be with her, but why can't I be friends with her?
He spent his like, correct, I'm sure this is accurately done, because I think in some world they do get to see the birth mother.
Well, I think it's all depending on what the agreement is. Who knows. I think every case is prob.
Unless the mom like relinquished all her rights. But I still don't think you get adopted in one hot minute.
I was just like, oh, this is like I mean, and Julia was messy. She was just all out of character.
And she grabbed him. I thought she inappropriately grabbed him.
Yeah, she was mad and.
She was like, just has Sydney run away yet?
Yeah? She did?
Okay, I can't never sometimes I blur what I've seen on ticket. She did, all right. I think we're getting through the worst of it.
Yeah, Sarah, Hank, Sarah and Hank.
Hello, Sarah and Hank. Ray Romano with is a shirt off?
Pretty good?
You know what, dude, he's hot. I know, I'm telling you.
You know what, SNA.
Would you think I'd say these words? Ray Romano is hot? But hot? It's so weird, like everybody loves Raymond. Nope, not hot and sense probably hot, but like he's kind of like where you're like aging like a fine wine hotter at fifty when he was at thirty.
Dad, bod there you go, Ray Romano, you got.
I definitely like, sorry, Mark Syr, but I'm I want Ray Ramono about when he says to Max, you're my favorite one in this whole tribe.
I love it and then tribe, and I mean, you can obviously see the parallels between them, which I know at some point is going to come to light, but you can just he just you can tell they're one one in the same, which is cute. But I do love that they were like, we're so pathetic. Are you pathetic? He goes, it's Christmas Eve and my daughter's in Minnesota.
Why she goes, I'm forty two and I just moved that back in with my parents. And he goes, yeah, you're pathetic. I love their banter and I love that they both like totally.
And I thought it was interesting how sort of jarred she was by Mark Seer with the New Year's Eve kiss.
I know, but I get it.
It makes sense. I like that they're not just like glossing over it. It's just Hank, Hank, Hank, and how Hank was like, I get it. Here's a thing I haven't reading the comments on our Instagram, A lot of people understand like I do. We love Mark Syr, but Hank is the better fit.
A hundred.
He shows up one hundred persons like so cute, just so cute, right.
I do think it's weird that like Drew is still in communication. Obviously he is because it's his teacher, But being in Sarah's position, I would.
Be single moms out there, if you're going to introduce your kids to a guy, be prepared that they're not going to just suddenly like break up with them too. That's not how the world works. But I did laugh when the mom when Milly Camille, was like, he seems to be adjusting. Just he's all dood to do. I'm going over Amy, he's a good, good and she's like, I think he's fine the whole. I'm gonna give the episodes like a high score.
Yeah, no, these were really really really good, Like these are great. Can you tell me how you feel about Jasmine's mom moving in? Fine?
It's funny. I think. First of all, here's what I will tell you. There's no way Jasmine's mom would ever be in that dire of a financial situation. It's just I agree with you, that was the plot.
She's got her step.
She would have like two years worth of savings. She's way too anal, she's way too buttoned up. There's zero chance she would just suddenly be the like obviously I understand, but like they come up with something different.
I agree. I have one last observation about this episode and the other one both both. Nora is constantly crying. She is just like any baby, and the only time she's said not, I think she's she's got no, she's real. She's got a lollipop in her mouth. And there's one scene that she was crying, and I don't think she was supposed to be crying in that scene. No, they gave Crosby, gave Nora to Zeke, and Zeke did the ultimate Grandpa moved. I don't know if you saw it, but he took her. She was crying and he was trying to say a line, and he goes and she stopped and then he continued his line.
Wait, Craig T. Nelson. First of all, I don't even know if I'm allowed to say this. I actually don't know, so I can't say it because I just found out something about Craig T. Nelson that I want to tell you guys so bad. But I can't because I'm not sure I'm allowed to. So I'm gonna have to report back because I had a meeting with some friends of ours at a company and then I saw Craig t.
Nelson's name on something and I got so overwhelmed and excited. I'm not sure it's even announced.
Okay, well we'll say that this until August. But you know what, Craigtine Nelson, you he's the backbone of this entire show.
Yeah, yeah, correct, which I don't want to say it.
Okay, Well, rewatch that baby scene because I watched it back twice.
I will not be watching the finale.
I'm just like, oh, so he dies. Okay, I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying I will not watch it again. My body cannot go again.
Yeah, but he was so iconic as an actor in that scene with the baby.
You've seen Poltergeist?
No, I know, I know.
How does any generation that is not Gen X exist on planet Earth?
Oh?
My god? By the way, tomorrow, have you seen the Did you see the Odyssey?
No?
Have you seen the trailer for the Other Mommy? Have you seen people talking about this? If you missed listen if you want to I don't hit that go backwards you want to. That's what our tagline should be for. Listen if you want to. If you're not listening, you'll want to. Did I just come up with something brilliant?
Well we can. We can switch tomorrow. You'll see that. Okay, guys, great episodes, great at nine.
Every time I don't want to watch it when I go to watch it because I'm knee deep into Silo or I'm watching the Last of US rewatching season one, I'm watching The Good Way, so like, it's not in.
My mode right I'm always excited.
And then I watch it and I realize it's so good.
This is the one thing I'll say. I'm like, oh, shoot, I got spend two hours right now watching this.
It's totally not and I get an hour and a half by the way.
You know what I mean. And I'm like, dang, I do not have time for this right now. And the next thing, you know, an hour and a half.
Totally.
I highly recommend just doing it during dinner or when you're folding laundry. Do you fold laundry?
Yes, I fold tons of laundry. I'm not I don't have two houses. I'm not rich.
I don't be WI laundry help doing laundry. I don't know. I am folding laundry constantly.
I know. And the laundry is the one chore that is never done because you always have new laundry always.
Right, You're always wearing clothes.
Mm hmm.
