Hello, friends.
What's going on, people? How we doing today? I'm having a wonderful morning.
How do the characters deal with their past?
I'm glad to hear it. Oh, man. What's happened so far? Can it rub off on me a little bit, please?
Well, let me tell you, last night in the evenings, Bear likes to rock out before bed. Hey, Dad, can we rock out? What does it look like? It looks like him up on the couch holding a ukulele. and me playing whatever rock song he's never heard before. So I give him like a new rock song. And last night I played him Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time. Okay. And he lost his effer-loving mind. Did he really?
He loved it.
Loved it. Loved it. And so this morning on the ride in, I re-listened to Nevermind, like front to back.
Oh, cool.
And I was like on the 10 freeway,
Transformed back in time. 16 years old. Yeah, yeah.
Like, so excited to see you guys. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm amped up. He likes to rock out. Apparently. That's amazing. Apparently. And Aoife just sits there and head bangs. Yeah.
Cool, kids. Well, that is a good morning.
My morning's been good. My wife's got an audition today. It's always a good thing. When prospects are on the horizon. I told her that Chris said she should do the podcast sometime. And she's like, well, if you guys are dragging the bottom of the barrel and you need somebody, of course. I was like, you're not the bottom of the barrel, Bert.
Never.
And then the brainstorm came. If we have one that focuses, an episode that focuses like on couples, which our show always focuses on couples, then maybe we all bring our spouses. That's fun.
That could be a cool idea.
And can do a little something like that. I think she should sit in on, not just guest on the show, but like help us narrate an episode so that we can cross promote your other podcast too. I appreciate that. But let's also get her on the phone because if she remembers, she was invited to like the first round of recordings.
She was.
And she was like, I can't. She was busy. I'm busy. Boom. And then I think she was invited to the second round of recordings. And she's like, I don't feel like it. So Ryan, bottom of the barrel.
Hardly. My ass. Not even close.
Not even close.
First thought.
Mandy, you look lovely in red.
Thank you.
By the way. Mandy Moore just had a baby, folks.
I can't tell.
I can't see. Like, I don't know how you do it.
What are the themes of connection and family in the episode?
Oh my goodness.
It's just, you got the snapback.
No, no, I don't have the snapback. I have the pillow hiding. Is that what it is?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, strategically placed for those on YouTube.
Exactly, exactly.
Anyways, come see us on YouTube.
Yeah, come see us on YouTube, guys.
Come check us out. How about it? So this is, it's entitled Clooney. My first question I have, we all know because we've read the scripts and et cetera, et cetera. Do you think the audience remembered who Clooney was when they first see the cat running across the screen?
No.
You don't?
No.
They're like, why are we watching the cat?
Can I also say, I am an animal lover, and any time there's an animal on a television show or in films, I'm petrified, like, where is this going? Is the animal going to be okay? And I've heard there is a website that chronicles every movie or TV show that has an animal featured in it, just to make sure you can check and say, no, no, all clear. You know it's going to be fine.
All clear.
It's not like a Bambi situation.
Like you're not going to be watching Old Yeller and something's going to be going down.
Correct. Okay, I got you. Because I can't handle that. So seeing this guy, of course, the whole time, he's like running across the street, dodging him. I know. I was like, this is NBC. There's no way like something's going to happen to this cat.
Right. Yeah. And we're all sitting there, I don't remember what happens to this cat. The one little ear? Do you think the one little ear was glued down? Or is that the way that cat came?
