Gilmore Girls Gazette: Parenthood: We Were Warned It’s A lot (Season 4 E7 & E8)

I am all in again.

Oh that's just you, Yill Moore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo, then iHeart Radio podcast.

Oh man, it's getting heavy these episodes of your diarrhea.

Or just kidding you guys. If you only listen to Parent Danielle. Poor Danielle. I think she had norovirus. She thinks maybe food puizzon, but I am heavily leaning into nora virus. Are you cleared up?

We're in the clear, diet sald We're in the clear. I'm in fact eating a reesis.

Oh that's not I don't know if that's that's going on.

That probably wouldn't help.

But now I'm dud banana's rice, apple sauce, toast, very plain chicken.

Yeah, no, I'm good. I'm good now. Thankfully I had it the least out of I think probably everyone in my family so so nice.

There's always something to be positive about, well, parenthood. But if you missed, uh, listen if you want to or Gazette and you need diarrhea.

Talk, Yeah, go back and listen reverse what a tease? If you want poop talk.

I told you these parenthood episodes are heavy. It's like, yeah, I know, I told I warned you, I warned you.

So we watched season four episode episodes seven and eight, and just the titles alone, episode seven together, episode eight, One More Weekend with You. There was many times in this that I was like, oh.

That's a lot O. No, no, this is my thing. I still love the show. It's still brilliant, it's amazing, but I don't know that I needed the chemotherapy and Amber's boyfriend assaulting a person in the same two hours.

And I didn't need Drew and Amy.

I'm like, uh oh, I love that they're back together. That made me happy.

You did. I was like, are the.

Episodes where he went over to her house or did that already happen? And this is where they get back together.

I think both. So episode seven he goes and gives the basket.

Oh, and the boyfriend answers, and.

He's like and the boyfriend answers, and he's like a Friday, not a yeah Friday, straight out of a yeah.

It was so uncombs.

And then episode eight is where Amy comes over to kind of be like, I'm apologizing for how awkward it was.

What do you think of that?

Though?

Do you think, she why what do you think of that? Was she really like, we want to be friends? And then she's like, no, actually.

This is this is what you're literally distracting me. I'm just like just watching you.

Oh sorry, guys, I'm flat ironing my hair.

It is tranquilizing.

I know. That's why I do it all the time. So people always ask me about my hair process because they're like, why do you wash your hair every day? Because it's therapy for me. Yeah, the whole process think of how am I not being more brilliant? Was like, curl my hair nuggets. I'm dropping on you are all fair enough?

Now?

Can you hear my washing machine? It's really like.

I think I only heard it once you pointed it out. Yeah I was. I did not hear.

I love to get up and make it stop, but I'm hoping it's just going to on its own.

It will not, it will go through cycle. I can't hear it though, until okay, great, well well fine, but okay, so this is what I this is what I make of it. I make of it that it was her first Drew is her first love. She connects to him on an emotional level. They obviously lost their virginities to each other. She you know, emotion like I said, emotionally likes him. She went to camp the shiny.

Hunky guy, hunky older guy.

Yeah, comes Walton over and she was in luck just smitten and he's an acutie patuti, you know. So she's like, I'm in and I'm jumping to this, but I think, yeah, I think she just cares for Drew. And she is.

Still in high school. So it's like she's got this frat guy. I get it, he's handsome, sae, but when you're cruising around school, you're like, I kind of just want the guy that's in my.

Mouth class and the guy that's like safe, you know, like the guy that's safe and like gonna like treat me like a princess.

Also, what's the cow frat guy doing with the high school girl?

Come on, I know it's a tale as old as time.

Dude, correct, So okay, let's simultaneously talk.

About uh, Sarah and mister and Mark? Yes?

And did they all make mistakes or was it good parenting? Like? Should Mark have kept the secret that he caught them sleeping together? Should should? Then Sarah, once she knew the secret, have suddenly like outed it so quickly.

I think Mark handled that beautifully. I think he he had the conversation with Drew said I want you to be safe, like, hey, there's STDs. Those last forever, you know, like he said all. I think he handled it so well. And I think he also handled it well by telling Sarah because he is new to this family. He is new to being a parent. He is new, right, And so if I was in that situation where I was dating somebody that is new to my family and parenting my kids, you got to run everything by me first, because I'm still the boss, right, like I'm still the mom.

I mean, yes, I just think she moved them in with him.

She did a lot a lot of things, did a lot of things wrong. But in this situation, like I thought Mark did the right thing by telling Sarah but also saying, hey, I am trying to build trust with your son right now, so I need you to play along here. And then you know, I'm and she didn't, so Sarah tis his tiss.

I thought Mark s great to Hank telling Hank all about it. Yeah his name's Hank, right, Yeah, And I'm feeling their bond continue. But like if I were Mark, I would have been like, you moved your kid in here, you gotta let me be involved, because there's gonna be times when I'm gonna stumble upon something like.

That, right, And that's what Mark was asking for, right.

Like this is so bad. People will send me notes. But sometimes, like a man talking to a boy, it is kind of like, Okay.

I I mean I have those conversations with my husband. I'm like, you got the sex talk, like I I'm going to tell them how they need to treat women right, and you are going to do the same thing. But like when it comes to sex, that's on you, right, Maybe let Mark if you know.

Also, I feel like Drew, although it was awkward, maybe was slightly more comfortable talking to Mark about it.

Yeah. I mean you never want to tell your mom, you know, like like you never want to tell your mom you're having sex.

What if you're a girl, Is it easier to tell your mom? You know?

I maybe I think so. I mean cause if you look at Amber, Amber was saying, and this guy, you're at my door right now and I'm fooling around, So get to.

Get out of older. Though there's a big difference, right.

Right, But I think it's easier, you know, telling your your mom as a as a girl.

All those conversations are so ox so awkward, so awkward, Sarah, Sarah kind.

Of in your own way.

Yeah, let's talk about Amber and Ryan.

Heavy stuff, heavy stuff, really heavy.

Although first of all, the road to.

Bakersfield was not that pretty.

It's also not how you get to Baker's Field. That's my one thing. I'm like, why even say we're going to Bakersfield. We're not going anywhere near your Baker's Field. That's not Bakersfield. But I like, how how like accurate there sort of portraying this. Yeah, and also it's messy, it's just all the things, but I like them together at this moment.

I did do I mean concerned. You can tell there's a lot of heavy, heavy stuff here, right, Like he obviously is suffering from PTSD and he has some things that he's working on, but you can tell that he's working hard. He's like, you know, like when the friend starts being like talking badly about the friend that passed away, he was like, I'm going to retire for this night, Like I gotta remove myself from the situation.

But takes a lot of that takes a lot of maturity, right, But then there was a big old throwdown barral.

Right. Well, then it's then he you know, reverted probably back to his old ways or however he didn't want to react in that moment prior.

It's just a lot.

It's a lot.

Also, her dress for the funeral was a very fancy I'm like, what.

It was like a ball?

Where did she get the couture dress gown for a Baker's field funeral? I was like, Okay, stylist, I'm obsessed with this dress, but I feel like it would have been better if we were going to T Swifty's wedding.

That's so funny, said that when she when she they showed her, I was like, it was so designed.

Yeah, And I'm like, this girl doesn't have a dollar and she lives in a kind of like rundown joint, but she's got a thousand dollars dress maybe.

Totally totally amber.

She's cute. May Whitman is just cool.

She is very cute.

Have you ever seen one of the best movies ever that No one likes? With George Clooney and Michelle pfeifferre called One Fine Day and also starring May Women.

I've never seen it, Please watch it.

Okay, It's like very like people would be like, it's not good. It's actually totally good. It's so good. Clooney and Feiffer, Are you kidding me? Clooney in his Doctor Doug Ross Prime and Michelle Pfeiffer in her Prime.

She's primed. No one more stunning than Michelle Pfeifer.

I know, I know. So anyway, do yourself a favorite see that. Let's talk about Christina. Oh boy, First of let's talk about Christina and Camille and Christina's mother not coming. I don't think I totally knew she had a terrible mom.

You know that sucked, you know, you like it did. I was gonna say something. I was like, I'm not gonna say it. I'm i gonna say it.

What was it?

Now?

I have to know.

It's just like moms like that exist, you know, like people have that those type of relationships with their parents where.

I just fifty percent of moms might be not great.

They just don't show up or you know whatever whatever it is.

And that's why I love that Camille did and did they had and it was just like for all the pop we give Zeke and Camille. I mean, come on, they're at every baseball game, They're at every everything's.

So solid, like be stoked. I do think that the conversation that Christina had with Adam about it, like I wanted, I love your mom, I get it, but I wanted my mom totally to think I'm worth it, to fly out and take care of me, you know, Like I get right.

I think though you can be like so bummed that your own mom isn't doing it and also so grateful that Camille.

Is mm hmm, like totally.

She doesn't know that she doesn't want to talk to girl from Felicity, do you know what I mean? Like she did know that that couple's so irritating. She's doing the right thing. Although I love that they came over the lessings or whatever.

God.

So that's a very viral scene on the bathroom floor when Max walks in. I've seen that on TikTok like a lot of times. It just shows up in your feet if you have like a parenthood algorithm going. It's brutal. They really do not sugarcoat it. With her throat up on the stairs the bathroom, you knew she was sick.

I love that. Then they all go and the party good.

You say what you're And I also think that she uh the thing that I have found something that resonated, just based off of friends of mine that have gone through the chema process and whatnot. You want everything, You want to try to make everything as normal as possible, right, you want to live as normally as possible. So Christina, you know, saying no, I want to take care of the kids, I want to watch. Of course a kid I want.

To can't is excruciating.

It's excruciating, even you with your diarrhea.

You've been down for the count.

Oh two. Very different, you know, true, rough diarrhea is rough. But but yeah, I mean it's just it. I just feel like the way that they're telling this story is so accurate.

Yeah, yeah, there's always flaws. But this show probably deserved Emmys. I know, I sound like Scott, we deserved Emmys.

But like, this did it really?

Did? I think it won something? What did it win? A globe? I don't remember, but no one listening cares.

But yeah, what did you think of Camille's sweater? I kind of like almost teared up a little bit, or she was like that was balling, like they're going to be the seventh person that wears this, Like, oh my.

God, freaking Gypsy. I need Gypsy back to keep helping her through it.

Right, I'm assuming she does come back.

I can't remember, but I think so. Jackie says she'll be good, She'll be back. Yeah, she's She's Rose Abdu does not get as much credit as she likely really deserves her being quite a great actress. Right, small parts, there's no small part. Pivotal, pivotal, totally, there's no small parts.

And then obviously and we get the payoff at the end where they're smoking pot. But Adam takes all kids and dog. I love the dog just.

Eating like pasta with his hands.

And he goes crossby Jasmine, this is your problem for right now. I got to take all your weed and go back to your stuff.

That was so good. The whole thing was good.

I just love that they walked through the door and Crosby and dadsmen were like wtf. And then Jasmine just walks over and takes the baby. She's like, I got totally, I got it.

Like, isn't that just so family? Like? Families are really so messy. I walked into my friend's house the other day. There's like a total family like brawl going and I'm like, I'll join in. I just bellied up and was like, let me get my opinion too, family so funny.

I will. I do have to say I was cackling at Jasmine and Crosby storyline.

With the party and he doesn't want the party and not have it.

Was as if they mirrored my life. Like to the tea, I'm always the one that plans the dumb.

Dinner party, she like tasks for him to do.

Always I'm always the one that plans the dumb dinner party with people that we necessarily don't want to.

Do the isn't that the truth? How much do you just want to go? Can I please just be alone at my house?

And totally and John was always like all right, fine, if you want to do this, we'll do it. And then like the day or two before, I'm like, hey, can you go get ice? Hey can you cut limes? Can you do this? Can you do that?

And he's like, too much, this is your problem and let me tell you something.

You did this to us.

I love doing things like I love doing things right, but I don't like doing things in my own house. In the cleanup, even if you have a caterer help, no.

But it's also all the questions, where's the restroom? Do you have more toilet paper?

First of all, a messon with my botty is just like, please don't touch it. One easter, it took me a week to clean up from the easter. Oh yeah, one thanks because I have one dishwasher. Do you have one dishwasher?

I have one dishwasher.

Most people have one dishwasher. And guess what, I don't love a mansion. My dishwasher is small.

Yeah.

It was six loads of dishes from thanks, and we ate in the garage because I don't have like a proper room. And it was Thanksgiving plaid or after plaid or after plate after I know, I'd rather go to in and out take the family to in and out? Would you not want to just go with twenty people to There's.

Been maybe like five of the five of these instances that Jasmine and in Crosby went through where my husband finally said no more at our house. Yeah, go somewhere. We go somewhere so that we're there for two hours. I can come home correct and lay in my bed, and that's our compromise.

Sometimes I think about this all the time, how much I miss bed rotting when I was a bit younger, Like if in the thirties and I learned that term bed rotting, great term kids, great term gen z. I miss it so much. I used to do it like one day a weekend.

Bed Rotting is with those things that you don't understand the value of it until you can no.

Longer kind of get mad about it. You're like, I should not be bedrotting, And now I'm like, can I please have a story right?

Like there was a time where I said, I really need to get off this couch and not be laying watching the eighth show of the series.

Need to No. And the problem now is I feel so like when I'm doing it, Oh, I gotta get up, I gotta go for a walk.

I better get the my nails.

I gotta do this. I better go to the store. I better do the dishes, better life, sell this sink, a better vacuum. Oh my gosh, I better organize that closet, you know, my sock drawn. It's just like, can I.

Not totally I totally totally get that.

I don't know how we got to bed rotting? Who is bed rotting in this?

Oh we're just talking about Jasmine and Crosby and how we just want and.

Although they had a good time. I love the people that always want to have the people over. My friend Krista, my friend Carrie. They're always like, yeah, come to our house, and I'm like, okay, well.

Sure, yeah, yeah, problem, I'll be there.

What can I bring anything? Like? Literally, I love those people.

Yeah, you see. For me, I always like, I, well, my husband had I I feel like I've adapted this because my husband he always you always want to be able to leave, and if it's at your house.

You can't. I know.

You're like what you always like, you want to be able to say, I have Diarrya, I gotta go, you know, like, but if it's at your house, you can't.

I try to be more chill. I'm always like, don't sit there. The pillow was perfectly fluffed. You know, all that stuff I need, like a mansion. If I was so rich, I'd have a party mansion and then my mansion.

Oh god, all right, and now we're dying some real money.

Correct, I mean I'm in my garage.

We need million people to listen to.

This yet two million, like twelve million. I'm literally in my garage with the washing machine going.

During Yeah, when we're doing the best, we're doing the best.

Any Way, what did we forget?

Where's Joeljel and Julia? They're big, they're big in these episodes.

Is this where tell me what happens refreshment?

So this is where Victor Julia? Okay, so Julia, I know, takes Victor and his old childhood friend yep, and they have a play date and he had a great house and he had the best time and they're playing basketball.

I didn't realize they're all fluid in Spanish.

Yeah, and they were just like going about playing and the great time and they used like a planter as like a basketball hoop and they were just having the best freaking time ever. And you know, the therapist I told Julia this is a bad idea, don't do it. And Julia went to Jewel and she's like, I think we need to do this.

But then somehow she got the baseball team kids loved.

Him, so yeah, so she basically was like, I hope he just it started.

Because the baseball kids exclude at him and then say by the end they were inviting him and then Sydney lost her.

Lost her marbles, which rightfully so did Joel's point. She had points, you know, like she had vow.

Totally been like getting screwed.

She's been totally getting screwed. So I did like that. They did the Sydney Only Day and they went skating and Julia was like, should we bring home Victor of hot chocolate and she was like, no, no, I know.

Sidney is definitely like dealing with like a sibling coming in well, and it's just the age. It's all mixed up, mixed up because I think, like therapists tell you, it's hard because she's got a sibling that just came in that's older, that's older, very all messy, messy, Yeah, because I feel, yeah, nothing they can do about it, but it's just challenging.

I mean, even in my situation where I had a new baby, the toddler is still going through it and we're almost a year he is.

I'm fifty and my brother that's older than me is so annoying. I'm like, oh my gosh, the difference between me and my older brother. And I don't know if that's proper grammar and me and my baby brother insane.

I mean, they're a bouth annoying, but yeah, my older brother's tough too.

Fifty years. They're just mad we were born. They're just so pissed about it. And you're just like, I'm just trying to help everybody.

Like I'm just here trying to be nice.

The amount of crap I'm doing for everybody and the amount of judgment I get for it is just insane. Are you a boy girl girl? Yeah? Right, we're a boy girl boy.

Yeah.

Siblings, That's why this parenthood is such a great show, because siblings get along way too well. By the way, no get along well.

I mean Crisby and Adam are having a little beef.

Are you with your sister and your brother?

Like, do you hug that my brother? No, my sister for sure, but no, I'm like, hi, Chris, how are you great? Love you?

We had like a family dinner last night with my mom and dad and my older brother. My little brother wasn't there, and my older brother walks in and like I was like, I can't believe, I can't even believe about to say this, but like I like your blazer, Like I was just like, oh, I can't believe I'm gonna say it. And then at one point I was like I literally said to him, stop it, stop it, stop it. Oh it's just so sid These people get along way too well. Yeah, that's the one thing, like come on, come on, and they spend so much time together.

Sorry I'm laughing at Jackie's but she especially go the same. It's like a side hut side hug kind of older brothers.

Well not even that, that's like you, Jackie is the like, no, I totally the sibling. That's like amazing.

I totally get along with my brother and I definitely give him a hug when I see him. But like it's like my sister, I'm like, oh my, oh yeah, that's talking with my baby brother, you know. But like my brother, my older brother, I'm.

Just like, true, how much older is here than you?

Almost for you three and a half years oh.

Older than I thought. Yeah, oh boys, siblings anyway, things tune into sibling revelry.

With Kate and Oliver to.

Siblings, right, how about all those siblings we work with, They get along so much better than us with our siblings, Like, wow, I would not work with my siblings.

Oh, my god, is there anything we missed in these episodes?

That know? They're good. I'm glad we're watching two at a time. It's a little, it's it's a lot, but it's good.

I know it's I love to.

Start The Good Wife. I stumbled upon it on TikTok some clips and I'm like, I know we didn't get voted in. I know we're doing The Resident, but I'm going to watch The Good Wife again too. It's so good. I like all these shows really.

Good, you know, like it takes a very special brain to come up with TV shows like this.

Oh my god, I could never I don't have that. So like I think I could tell someone like a bunch of stories and they could maybe turn it into this, but like I couldn't write any of this stuff. Yeah, this guy's a genius. Isn't this the same guy that did Paradise? Like I think he's a genius.

Shout out to all these writer TV writers and producers.

Like it's I don't know if you guys can tell, but we just wing it so like we do our homework. We watch the show, and then we roll in here and we wing it. Like these people are writing, they rape for.

Novel a week right, exactly the talent.

And first of all, these actors memorizing.

I couldn't do that either, oh god. And not even memorizing, but like having to perform folk emotion.

I know what, I know. It's not us. We're more of the uh. We just say it's on our mind, like right.

Right right, we're here to we're here to just publicize our phone calls.
