What episode are we discussing today?
On today's episode of That Was Us, we will be discussing Season 2, Episode 5, Brothers. Kate drops a bombshell on Toby, Kevin and Randall attend a charity fundraiser for Sophie's hospital, and Jack takes the boys on a camping trip, leaving Rebecca to deal with some unexpected news.
If someone had told Charles and Melanie that after their Tinder match, they would start a channel with crazy tasks together. So really crazy. Spend five days on a lonely island, crawl down a zip line on a belt, crack one million views, climb a wall with a lot of buttons and jump off a parachute in Egypt? The two would never have believed that. But that's the thing with Tinder. It takes you to places you would never have expected. Wherever it takes you. It starts with a swipe. Tinder.
How's it going, everybody? Hello, hello.
Hello, hello. We're back.
Okay, so we've been off for a while. Yeah, there was a short maternity leave. Short maternity leave. So this is our first episode with Mandy Moore as the mother of three. Mandy Moore, how are you?
I'm great, guys. I'm so happy to see your faces. I missed you.
You look very bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to have a baby at the crib.
Oh, you're so kind.
Yes.
I mean, I'm pretty tired, but I'm just, you got to fake it till you make it.
I heard that. You just have to keep throwing back to you so it keeps you engaged. Because if we get too engaged, you and I, we look over and she's like hitting forehead on the microphone.
This is quite comfortable.
Yeah, the couch. Too comfortable.
I don't want to get that comfortable.
Yeah, we need to drop the temperature in here a little bit.
But I got, yeah, I got the big three at home. I got my own little big three.
Yeah. How have they taken to the baby, her two older brothers?
Yes. They love her so much. They want to pet her a lot. That's what they say. Can I pet baby sister? I'm like, she's not the dog, but yes, you can pet her. It's like, mind the soft spot, big dog.
You can't go too far. They still have that fuzz.
What is Jack's relationship with his father?
Yeah. I'm so happy to be back with you guys and happy to have the excuse to like jump back into watching the show.
Yes.
Wow. And we like jump back in with a real dynamite episode.
Both feet in. So this is entitled Brothers, right?
And we're back with John and Glenn, directors of the pilot, the Super Bowl, some really like seminal episodes of the show.
Yeah. And we're having a good time. And we're starting off in the past with, with Jack is gonna take the boys on a camping trip, right? They've been sort of like at each other's throats a little bit and not even sort of at each other's throats. I would say that like Kev's feelings towards Randall are just like, I've kind of had enough.
They're really settling into their distaste for each other.
And less Randall for Kevin, obviously. It's deeply steeped in Kevin, though.
He's so annoyed. You see a bit of Randall trying to figure out how to be with his brother. Yeah. But he is Randall, and he is a lot. I think it's important to say that Randall's not... perfect or anything like that. Like Randall is a big personality and he kind of needs a lot of things. And sometimes Kev's like, you're giving, you're doing the most. And I need you to bring it down just a bit, right? So the girls are gonna have a day out with themselves.
Yeah, like go get, do their nails, watch a movie.
Have a great time. And you get a phone call from the, What is this? Nursing care facility. Care facility for Stanley Pearson. And it sounds like he's about to pass away. Yeah. And he's calling to find his son. And you're like, oh, he's gone. So you send a message out to the woods saying that like, listen, I just heard your dad is not doing well. You may want to come see him, et cetera. But he's out there with his boys impervious.
Do you guys remember growing up at a time now without cell phones where we were all not reachable?
Yeah, I do.
Immediately and having to leave messages on answering machines.
Yeah, you called a ranger station and left a message on a reel-to-reel tape.
