How are you guys doing today?
I'm doing well as well. It was a joy to dip into this episode. It's funny because you remember the show, but on a macro level, but then when you get granular again, you're like, oh, that happened. Right. Oh, that happened in this episode. Right.
Deborah Jo Rupp. Oh, Delroy Lindo. Popping up as our social worker in the present day. But let's talk about the past.
They demand juice boxes. How were these young babies? How many did you have to work with as well?
Didn't require a lot of acting.
He's a large and powerful man.
He's a large and powerful man. So, okay. Well, you guys are cleaning the house at the beginning of the episode in preparation for your social worker to come.
Yeah, and we have a montage because we have the first time that she comes, and then she has a couple other subsequent surprise visits, I believe, right, that were not announced. Because you have one announced with, like, this kid's trying to take my nipple off, and you're like, oh, snap. Hey, yeah. You're here. I was here. Right. But she has nothing but good things to say about you guys.
It's a formality. Everything's going to go according to plan.
Before you get to the judges, because you do say, I think we need to take new family pictures because they always have the pictures of families up. And this is my own personal anecdote to add to this.
No, I don't know if it is or not, but I would love to speak to shooting a show and being an individual of a particular shade of soul amongst folks that have a different shade and the lighting that goes into it, there'd be times in which the two of us would have a scene and my single, I feel like the light is like blowing me out.
Like this, I look at Mandy's light, I was like, that seems so nice and soft.
But it's a thing, just trying to find the balance of it. And I thought it was a really kind of lovely thing that they discussed in the family pictures. Like the guy's like, oh, I'm just trying to find the right sort of balance. And Jack's like, just take it and we'll figure it out. And you see later on, Mandy will cut from one shot to take Randall from this one and fit him into that one.
Like, we'll figure it out. Yeah. Right? Okay.
I would say kudos to our writer of this particular episode, Keri Yegum, Nigerian, Nigerian-American, Nigerian lives in America himself, and pays particular attention to those sorts of things, right? So we go to the court, we get to the judge and you see Delroy kind of look over at the family and just sort of like has a moment of contemplation.
And he says like, I'd like to talk to your social worker about something, but I'll have you guys come back.
And you guys are like, what do you mean? Talk to her about what?
Yeah. And he's like, like I said, I'd just like to talk to your social worker. So I'll see you in a few weeks. And you're like, okay. So we go to, you guys are all in the hallway. I think he's grabbing some vending machine stuff or what have you. And I think Jack, is it Jack or you? It's like, I just want to ask him, like, what is it that he wants to talk to the social worker about?
And he's like, you know, it's not appropriate for us to talk about this right now, but if you want to talk, let's go to Chambers, right? Go to Chambers. And I tell you, like, I felt it. I felt, I was like, and I kind of knew, I read the script, but as an audience member, I was like, he gonna say something about white people raising a black baby. You know what I'm saying?
And he says it, and it's this interesting thing. And I have it happen within my house all the time, where I'm talking to Andrew in particular, because he's 13. Amari's still a baby. Because even Delroy says in the show, he's like, I didn't know what it was to be Black until I was eight or nine. One of those two ages, right? Which was the first time in which somebody called me a nigger, right?
