How have the hosts' definitions of romantic love changed over the years?

This is a HeadGum Podcast.
Mandy Moore 0:25
So our first group chat episode was such a hit, we decided to come back with another installment of Chat With Us, where we're going to riff on a certain topic that's inspired by the show. And today, that topic is romantic love.
Sterling K. Brown 0:42
Yeah. That's right. We're chatting about the love or relationships that shaped us, challenged us, surprised us, and sometimes completely changed the course of our lives. We're going to get into first loves, lasting love, red flags, green flags, love languages, heartbreak,
Chris Sullivan 1:01
Yeah, we got to see so many different iterations of romantic love on This Is Us. Jack and Rebecca, Beth and Randall, Kate and Toby, and even from the younger generations of Pearsons, Deja and Malik, Tess and Alex, younger Kevin and Sophie, and all the ways those relationships impacted every single one of those people.
Mandy Moore 1:23
Hello, Rebecca and Miguel, too. Rebecca and Miguel. Need to be included. Yes. Miguel deserves that.
The most romantic love.
Mandy Moore 1:29
Come on now.
The most romantic love of all. Sorry. Let us not short shrift.
Mandy Moore 1:33
Let's not short shrift. No, ma'am. Geriatric love. Sweet Miguel. Geriatric love. Geriatric love.

What are some memorable first experiences with romantic love?

This week on Geriatric Love.
Mandy Moore 1:42
Friends, we haven't seen each other in a minute.
It's been a minute.
Sterling K. Brown 1:45
How's everybody doing?
Mandy Moore 1:46
Great.
Sterling K. Brown 1:47
You guys look good.
Mandy Moore 1:47
Sully's dressed in all black. Sully is like really taking it to the next level.
Chris Sullivan 1:51
I went old school New York today. And thank God because I have fully entered, officially arrived in middle age.
Sterling K. Brown 1:58
Officially as of when?
Chris Sullivan 1:59
As of the last month. Okay. Like I'm in. What's the marker? Well, I got my first colonoscopy.
Bruno Satin 2:06
Oh.
Chris Sullivan 2:07
And I will tell you. It's a beautiful colon, you guys. Congratulations. Clean as a whistle? It is. Supermodel. It's the most beautiful colon I've ever seen. Wow.

Do soulmates really exist or is lasting love a choice?

Sterling K. Brown 2:17
How many colons?
Chris Sullivan 2:18
Just one. Just one. Just checking. Well, the prep is intense. You know what? The prep is not as bad, I guess, as it used to be. I might do it once a year.
Mandy Moore 2:28
Just as a cleanse.
Chris Sullivan 2:30
You like the fluid. Listen. If it's gonna make my colon look that great. Is your fluid green? Is it green?
Mandy Moore 2:39
The drink?
Chris Sullivan 2:40
Eventually.
Mandy Moore 2:40
No, not the drink.
Chris Sullivan 2:43
No, no, it wasn't. It was just heavy amounts of laxative. Got it, okay, yes. Some people have like a color to the drink. They gave me the printout, the photos. I mean, it looked like a bouquet of roses.
Mandy Moore 2:57
You're at the inside of your colon.
Chris Sullivan 2:59
Yeah.

How do movies and pop culture shape our expectations of love?

Chris Sullivan 2:59
Wow. Yeah, like a dozen roses.
Mandy Moore 3:01
They could tell you how old you are by the inside of your colon.
Chris Sullivan 3:04
Yeah, I'm 27.
Mandy Moore 3:05
Your biological age.
Chris Sullivan 3:06
I am 27. Your colon's age is 27. That's right. Wow. But I've ordered four pairs of compression socks. That's how I know I'm in middle age. Okay.
Bruno Satin 3:15
Just for travel or everyday life?
Chris Sullivan 3:17
No, for everyday life. And it's not the fact that I've ordered them that makes me middle age. It's the fact that they make me feel young again. You love it. I have. I got a pep in my step. Because your blood is flowing. I feel so supported. Another indication, I have officially started playing pickleball. Are you loving it? I'm loving it. Because you're a ringer.

What qualities become more important in relationships as we age?

Mandy Moore 3:42
I am a bit of a ringer. Are you indoctrinated in the cult of pickleball?
Chris Sullivan 3:47
I am in the pickleball cult. I've bought my Andre Agassi pickleball paddle.
Sterling K. Brown 3:53
Is there soreness after or is it not so hard that you relatively... Listen, why do you think I ordered four pairs of compression socks?
Chris Sullivan 4:00
Okay, gotcha. There's definitely some new muscles being used. I went to the pharmacy on the way here today to pick up something and had to go to the section for readers to read the label on what I was buying. And is this how you do it? This is how you do it, right? Because I don't have progressive glasses. This is interesting.
Mandy Moore 4:24
The progressive lenses.
Chris Sullivan 4:26
And so now, oh my God. It's like...
Mandy Moore 4:30
I hope you guys are watching this.
Chris Sullivan 4:31
I've never seen it.
Mandy Moore 4:32
If you're not watching us on Hulu a day early, you're missing it.
Sterling K. Brown 4:36
You're missing Chris with his two glasses on.
Chris Sullivan 4:38
I've been wearing glasses for a long time, but in the last six months, my eyesight has gone to yet. And so now it's like a brand new day. But do I have to wear two pairs of glasses like this all the time?
Mandy Moore 4:49
No, just get progressive lenses.
Chris Sullivan 4:50
I'll get progressive.
