Gang, how we doing today?
Hello, friends.
How's it going? Hi. I'm having a cookie. Chris is eating a cookie and having the time of his life. He living his best life. This season has been fun. It's like I'm rediscovering. I know everything that happens in the end game, but I think because the later seasons are probably fresher in my head, going back through and watching it, it's kind of like, oh, snap. That happened.
I feel like seasons two, three, and four are gonna have the most, like, obviously, because they were so long ago, they're gonna have, like, the most revealing information for us as viewers re-watching it. I think you're right. Because one is ingrained in, like, just the deep recesses of my brain, and obviously the later seasons, because they're just so much closer.
Yeah.
But this, too, yes, I was like, wow, I remember... I remember this episode. I remember filming this episode.
You do?
I do. I remember because, you know, it's a tricky situation. And we can get into the logistics of it. But, you know, I will just say it was tricky because of the racism storyline and wanting to be mindful of a young person and be respectful and make sure everybody was comfortable because Lonnie, sweet Lonnie, had to walk in on my mother and I having this fight where I essentially call her out for being a racist. and really ostracizing Randall from Kevin and Kate. And it's a very delicate conversation.
Nowadays on set, we have things that are actually mandated called intimacy coordinators, where when scenes are, it's usually physical intimacy. And I don't think we had this back then, but I imagine if a scene like this happened today on set, that that coordinator would probably be brought in.
Maybe. There were some... When a child's involved? Like, it just feels like... I guess there was, like, there was... It was definitely couched in sensitivity. And that's what I mean is, like, it was handled very well. Sure. But I just remember it being, like... It wasn't just like a scene that you're willy-nilly shouting these things out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable for everybody involved. And so we wanted to find the most respectful path forward where nobody felt out of place. But yes, we can jump right into it.
Let's dive right into it.
Yeah, in the past, there is a snowstorm that is brewing in Pittsburgh. You see the family at the video store, which I remember. Oh, man. I think I have some good pictures I can put up on social from this time. Do you really? Yeah, but it's just like, this was... you know when you're shooting a show like this you're on location some of the time you're on stages the the um randall's house randall and beth's house um jack and rebecca's house with like the young people well with every iteration they just would sort of change it for whatever um timeline we were we were in those were like permanent sets on stages right And then you'd have these swing sets, as they call them, where it might be a vehicle that's on a green screen and you're doing a scene in a car or whatnot. And in this particular case, they built this faux blockbuster, this faux video store that doesn't exist anymore. That is such a relic, I think, of all of our childhoods.
And so I just have some funny pictures of the kids like looking at what are any of these movies? Like there was so, of course, because they're nine, they had no idea any of the references of like, look who's talking and you know, so it was like really cute. They just kept asking Milo and I like, what is this?
