What is the episode’s main premise and who are the hosts?
This is a headgum podcast.
Now did you ever watch Widows Bay? Did you finish it? Did you No,
because I'm supposed to watch it with my wife and this is what happens. We watch the pilot, we had a great time, and then like schedules get what have you, da da da da. And so we're both waiting. Although I will say this, in that time, Ryan Michelle has watched Heated Rivalry again.
Again.
She's watched it three times. She's ordered all the books, right? I will catch so she can
take her time.
She looks up fan fiction at night to read herself to sleep. And now I'ma tell you this the other part too, and I'll say this on camera. We've been knocking mad boots. Not boots.
You're like, keep reading it. Keep
that. Keep reading it, girl. When's the next season? Like if you just you know what I'm saying? Like if this is all it took? So watching these young men commit themselves to each other and whatnot. It's like all right, I guess we should save some of this stuff.
Oh we're rolling. Oh we've been rolling. Oh good. Keep it in.
On today's episode of That Was Us, we are diving into season six, episode three, Four Fathers. As Kevin adjusts to co-parenting, Randall faces the reality that Deja is growing up, and Kate and Toby struggle to stay connected amidst long distance. This episode explores parenthood, changing family dynamics, and the memories that stay with us long after the moment has passed.
How do the hosts describe the challenges of being a “work‑aholic” dad?
Hello. Hello, hello, hello. Hello. Hello.
We also Jack too had his own sort of thing going on because he's the fourth father in this episode. Right. Um sort of sort of dealing with the idea of being the workaholic dad, having to wake up and go to work before his kids are awake and then coming home after they've gone down to sleep is just sort of like where do I fit in? I want I'm missing everything. Yeah. That's that feels like the the overall theme is like between
Toby and Kevin and everything.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Um, this is a good episode. But before we get into the episode, you guys good? We're good. How are you? I'm good. I'm happy. Uh uh, I'm whole, I'm coming towards the end of paradise. How
does how does that feel?
Um, it is so I don't get too bittersweet until like the end end. Sure. But I can feel my castmates sort of feeling it now. We shot an episode the other day where like most of the main cast will probably not see each other again on set.
Got it.
And so there's a little mistiness there because I I think it's I think it's special. I think it's yeah not unlike this show that we're talking about right now. I think it's something that people will remember for a long time. For different reasons. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Right? Yeah, yeah.
But I think it leaves a a a pretty long lasting impact. I and it emphasizes like all Dan shows do. And I'm sure the land probably does in its own way, that even in this sort of post-apocalyptic world, the emphasis on the beauty of humanity and the way in which people come together in the midst of hardships, right? I feel like the world of football is very cutthroat, but I feel like Dan will find his way into you know what I'm saying? Like his heart just
is the top line always. Yeah.
Yeah. That's
exciting though.
It's it's very, very good. And congratulations. Thank you on another Emmy nomination. Thank you. Yeah,
congrat- Oh gosh, yeah, we haven't seen each other. I was like, it's my annual text to Sterling to say congratulations.
Just put it in the calendar.
I know, exactly.
Oh,
it's uh Sterling's Emmy nomination today.
Four dot dot blank.
Yeah, exactly. Fill in
the blank.
This is very, very sweet. Thank you. I feel very It is kind of surreal. I'm gonna tell you guys. This is because I'm a producer on the show now and it's been two years in a row that the show has been nominated myself. It's 14 nominations. That's so
Crazy.
It blows my mind. It blows my mind because I remember acutely what it was like to have never been to it and to watch the show year after year and be like, I wonder what it must be like. To go to the Emmys, man. That must be cool, right? And to have been able to go like ten or eleven years is not so bad.
