00:02:10
Speaker
So, he ah she records a new episode of her podcast with her sister, Morgan. So, everybody knows her name. I forgot her name. The guest is an aura specialist who talks about how people's energies and auras can determine compatibility.
00:02:25
Speaker
During the recording, Joanne starts questioning whether she and Noah are truly compatible. She texts Noah, but he doesn't respond right away, making her more anxious, you know, the pregnant thing. Meanwhile, he's having his own issues.
00:02:37
Speaker
She's in a car accident. Yeah, was life-threatening. There's this whole, you know, you think she did it? Because... yeah No. The melodrama. They're all in there arguing. All the families are in there.
00:02:52
Speaker
Why are they so stuck on Rebecca? And by the end of the episode, both Joanne and Noah are dealing with self-doubt, wondering if they are worthy of being in a relationship. So that's where we're at with episode three. We can go ahead and dive into that. Or you just want me give the recap for episode four?
00:03:10
Speaker
oh ah let's Let's do it that way, won't we? I think one at a time, too, please. Perfect. Okay, good. Let's start with nobody wants this. um i first want to ask for the ladies in the room.
00:03:24
Speaker
Chuck, that includes you. Yeah. yeahp I'm ready. do you do That whole, like in that first scene where she comes home. Where they were talking about the UTS? And she, nope. And I didn't even get it the fun way.
00:03:36
Speaker
Great. Well, save it for the show because I have literally nothing to talk about this week. Okay. I've had a UTI for the last three days and I didn't even get it the fun way. Oh, yeah. First of all, I would never talk about that stuff to my mom.
00:03:50
Speaker
Okay. But can I tell you, I have to say, y'all, the dynamic between these sisters and their mom, that is my life. if Okay, then this is perfect then for my question, because you guys obviously grew up in very different you know worlds. you...
00:04:04
Speaker
ah do you do that whole like girly like you, just kiss guy and you come home. Well, you might not anymore, Erin, but- Yeah, that's been really time. And you do whole okay guys.
00:04:15
Speaker
And you you describe this kiss. Like that's it. She just described like the, you know. Just had the single greatest kiss of my entire existence.
00:04:27
Speaker
Okay. I call it the board. So like I have a board, which is like, three or four women in my life. They're like, everything that happens gets run by them and they weigh in. That's kind of what this was. This is her board. Like she goes back to them and she's like, all right, here's the scoop.
00:04:43
Speaker
But it was, it was like, so it was like, uh, I have this story to tell you this kiss. Let me tell you, Chuck, do you, um mean, don't like to kiss and tell, but no, I have never, ever, ever.
00:04:57
Speaker
i mean, I've gone back to a bro and like, dude, bro. You won't believe. Don't act like that so foreign. When I was younger, going and... don't participate.
00:05:07
Speaker
Oh my gosh, she kissed me, but it's been over 20 years. so kid It's been over 20 years since you've been kissed. You were like five? For the first time, Charlie. Yeah, was five.
00:05:22
Speaker
Nice. All right. um Okay. it's When Shauna said board, though, i was like, I do have a white board where write down right tell them all the cool things that happen. You're so dumb.
00:05:35
Speaker
thought that's what she meant when she said board. No, like a board of directors. Yeah. So when they were talking about the UTIs, and then they're so they're talking about it in front of their mom, which I probably wouldn't have done.
00:05:50
Speaker
But then she starts talking about it and they're like, ew, stop. Like, so it's okay to talk about it in front of mom, but not her. But not mom talk about it. Yeah, don't let mom talk about it. I think, yeah, that's because I think she was like, what'd she say? She was like, I used to get them all the time with your father.
00:06:07
Speaker
I used to get them all the time with your father. Mom. Gross. Morgan. See, I wouldn't have even been talking like that in front of mom. So she wouldn't have been telling me that either. man. mean, parents don't do that sort of thing, right?
00:06:19
Speaker
Please tell me. They don't. No, they don't. There's no way they do. Good. No. I mean, you might, but parents don't. So... Yeah, but you're a parent. I didn't realize that the mom...
00:06:35
Speaker
ah It was just a little bit weird for me when she was suddenly like almost on that episode of their podcast. like I was like, wait a minute. Is she on the podcast? or Well, I think she was for the comic relief piece. It was her guest.
00:06:50
Speaker
She's the one who brought him. I think it's a very like, you know, wing it kind of thing. I mean, it's not like. Kind of like this. We just let anybody show up. Got it.
00:07:00
Speaker
Dang. Wow. Man. Okay. I will say, let me make up for that real quick. I did write down the very first note I have up here. And I'm not saying this just because Aaron's here. Yeah.
00:07:11
Speaker
I wrote down, and this is not going to make me cry, but it could. here we go. I think me and Aaron have turned into that couple where it's like, oh, they're just so, look, they have so much fun hanging out with each other now. it's ah Which couple?
00:07:29
Speaker
i don't I'm not sure why I wrote that down, actually. but i i think i just i't You think you're Noah and Joanne. no I think you're the other couple. No, not Noah. We are not the other couple. Esther and the What's the brother's That's coming up in the fourth one.
00:07:49
Speaker
I have a note for the fourth episode for that. I definitely think you guys are... No, we're not. Yeah. Because what did... ah
00:07:59
Speaker
What that? a Yeah, that's in the fourth. well' talk i also I also want to know, while Sean and Aaron are talking about how maybe girls, women behave when stuff like that's going on.
00:08:09
Speaker
Yeah. Her constant checking of texts, like, hey, has he responded back? Is that a real thing? Or is that just a like little bit of a cliche? I think when you first started like your first date or you've just met this person and they get your number and you're kind of like looking like Like early on.
00:08:31
Speaker
but Yeah, when everything's... Because you don't really know where it's going. Like there's a lot of... Yeah, there's a lot of unknowns. But now, if you know if Chuck doesn't respond to you, you're just like, I mean, okay. It's typical Charlie.
00:08:45
Speaker
Wow. i You got to respond at some point. Geez. No, he doesn't. But it is so it is so cool when they respond back back then. I mean, it is now too. But early on when you're like...
00:08:58
Speaker
Get that notification. But when Charlie and I were dating, though, it was, did he send me an email? Right. That's what I was going to say. You didn't get that notification on your phone. It was, and go run home to the computer.
00:09:13
Speaker
I got one inbox. One. Who could it TurboTax. Dang it. Okay. Okay. ah um okay I thought the aura guy was stupid.
00:09:28
Speaker
He was ridiculous. I hate the fake doctor. Well, okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's take a second here. I did write down fake doctor. But then I thought, I mean, we're all friends here.
00:09:42
Speaker
I started thinking, I wonder... I want to know what Shauna's thoughts are on maybe this. no, I knew y'all thought about me. I did. So the thing that they did with his character was terrible, though.
00:09:53
Speaker
You know what i mean? it Like, whatever merit that there is to that was not present with that character. But if it was somebody else, you'd be like, oh... He was obviously being a weirdo. Then he starts like putting his hands all over her face. And it's sad that he said she didn't have an aura.
00:10:12
Speaker
That was sad. What did she say? She's like, why are you touching my face? Because you didn't have to touch hers? I love her. She's funny. I'm sorry.
00:10:23
Speaker
but Why are you touching me? Because you didn't touch anybody else? I'm having a little bit of a hard time. Oh, she's definitely funny. But um yeah, no, I had a feeling you guys were going to come for me on that one, but it was not. When I heard it, i immediately thought, oh boy, here we go. Nope, it was not good. thinking she's going to say, you know, one time I had an aura doctor tell me that I was. I have had my aura red. I have had my aura red. What did they tell you? That's none of y'all's business, but like, I'm going to tell y'all.
00:10:52
Speaker
Um, But that particular example was really terrible. I would never have entertained a conversation with someone like that. You wouldn't have It felt like it was just a vehicle to have Joanne appear to be... But is that the one that her sister didn't do the um homework to figure out if he was reliable or not?
00:11:20
Speaker
Or is that a different podcast session for her? I don't know. i don't remember. Yeah. She probably could have looked him up first. It was either in three or four that she was like, you didn't do your homework.
00:11:31
Speaker
You did not make sure he was. Okay. You need to be fact checking that. I Kind of. Legit. I don't remember that, but you might be on some. Maybe it was. That sounds, yeah. I also have down here, actually before I said fake doctor, man, Sasha continues to be the best thing about this. He really is. The brother and the sister. It's the sidekicks. The sidekicks. Yeah. The loser siblings. The loser siblings.
00:12:00
Speaker
I don't like that... um
00:12:04
Speaker
Her mom and sister were picking on her for her joke. It was a funny joke. It was an awesome joke. They're very hard on her, though. Yes, they are. I don't like how they talk to her. Uh-uh.
00:12:16
Speaker
Because they're just as bad, if not worse, than any dude that they would gripe about. like They're really critical of her. They are mean to her. and I i'll just love that he like just got it and went with it.
00:12:30
Speaker
But that's the thing. I think it was set up so that then he would be the only one that that appreciated it. And she's like, oh, because he said, yeah, you're pregnant. This is exciting.
00:12:41
Speaker
I know I'm a good kisser, but I didn't know. Well, that joke was not that edgy. I mean, it wasn't an offensive thing to say. It wasn't totally out of pocket. and But she convinced her. She's like, guys don't like ah pregnancy jokes. Right.
00:12:53
Speaker
He's probably sitting there right now. And you're her sister and her mom, and you're supposed to be lifting her up, and you're just bringing her down. That's why it felt so weird, though, was because, okay, all they did was kiss. It's not like, oh, might she be pregnant? like Obviously, he's not going to think she's serious. Well, but but I mean, she didn't know, though, because as we've heard, her routine is not to have like a nice...
00:13:22
Speaker
slow relationship with a guy. It's because like she said, right. Maybe it could have been. And then what happened next? but Well, obviously you went back to the restaurant and hooked up in the bathroom. Yeah. Maybe that's why you have all those UTIs. My God.
00:13:35
Speaker
You know what happens next? Yeah, he went back to the restaurant and fucked in the bathroom. No, we just kissed. I said that on the way in. Well, maybe that's why you have all those UTIs. My God.
00:13:46
Speaker
One thing, just for Aaron's benefit here, too, we make a point of saying, and he does it in this episode, too, just everything he says is perfect.
00:13:57
Speaker
Well, some of that's the writing, too. At some point, he's got a turn, right? We're in agreement. I'm just dying for Is it a female writer or a male writer? Oh, that's a good question. I'm going collab all the way.
00:14:12
Speaker
I really think it's the males like, so what would you want me to say here? yeah You know? So then I would say, you know, so I would, okay. And I'd say that's cool. Not that's cool. No, I'd say no that's okay. Oh, I thought of one thing. We're not there yet, but I have to remember to say something. Then put my hand, you write it down. Then I put my hand on her shoulder.
00:14:32
Speaker
Or is that, is it too soon? yeah ah No? Okay. ah Does the family not know the story of what happened? We're sitting in the hospital room, in the waiting room, and they're drilling him like, she loves you, by the way.
00:14:47
Speaker
i don't think they... just dump her? It's a shame she had to have an accident to get you to pay attention to her. They and obviously don't know... chiska No, they know about the shit. They don't know that she went and put the engagement ring on before somebody gave it to the story as to why they're not together. think he proposed. He did not. Which, honestly, I hate to say this, but it's true. It makes him that much better of a guy, too. The fact that he didn't go like,
00:15:16
Speaker
explained everybody. Put her on blast. by the way, though, this is what she did. He's too good. He just wants to be done with it. He's getting drilled for it. He is. You're an idiot. Why would you dump her?
00:15:27
Speaker
Go over freaking Rebecca. None of them know then. except Except I would argue that Esther knows because that's her best friend. So surely she would know.
00:15:38
Speaker
Esther's interesting. Can I confess the one thing real quick? I thought they were sisters until this episode. Yeah, we had to get them straight. thought Esther and Rebecca were sisters. You also thought Eleven was a boy for like the first five hours. I still do. And you were convinced that it was going
00:15:56
Speaker
By the way, real quick, that's a I guess it's Rebecca's mom. That's Susie from Kirby Enthusiasm. Anybody pick up on that? No.
00:16:07
Speaker
Kirby Enthusiasm. yeah That's familiar. so Well, his mom and his dad are from what? Right, we talked about that. His mom is from Walking Dead. Okay, sorry, Scott. That's great. and Well, I mean, we're all just sharing our notes here. Doesn't have to be me. the She's in God's hands now? That joke?
00:16:28
Speaker
the The melodrama of all these people. yeah How is she?
00:16:35
Speaker
She's in God's hands. Right. And how is the rest? There's no way to know. That's so reminded me of Michael Scott when he comes in and he's talking about having hit Meredith with his car. They tried save life. And she's going to be okay.
00:16:51
Speaker
Why'd you have to phrase it like that? Why'd have say it that? She's in God's hands now. yeah but I mean, the writing is really good on this show. interaction outside, when he's like freaking out, like, oh my God, is everything okay? I've got 10 calls.
00:17:09
Speaker
she He said she's almost in a coma. And so she's like, I don't know what almost in a coma is. I mean, she hurt her wrist, but. 10 calls from Rebecca's phone. it was her mom saying she's almost in a coma. I don't know what almost in a coma means.
00:17:24
Speaker
Okay. You think she did it? Because like. By the way, also, mean, he keeps his phone like not in front of his face a lot. Like he misses all of that. He's better than us.
00:17:38
Speaker
He's better than us. Right. And then he misses all her. it is surprising because rabbi and usually clergy are pretty attached to their phones. They get calls for all sorts of things. yeah I know that was just convenient to this for the story. Right. Right.
00:17:55
Speaker
But see, that's what's funny is is then, on the other hand, like, Joanne has no idea, you know, she texted him. For... Throw this in there too. It's 1.30 in the morning.
00:18:08
Speaker
It's the middle of the night. They leave, right? Oh, Because you see at one point on her phone, it's 1.30 and then he shows and it's 2. Yeah. I didn't pay attention to that. Yeah. He shows up when with the dog at the very end. When she did say it was about 2 o'clock.
00:18:21
Speaker
It's the middle of the night. So it's literally the middle of the night. And she's staring at her phone like, oh, my gosh. She's freaking out being convinced all these different things. He just doesn't even have his phone. Yeah.
00:18:33
Speaker
She went on this whole episode like by herself of you know spiraling. He just doesn't even have his phone. But that's what we do. but we get in our heads. Right. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. And then it just goes from there.
00:18:47
Speaker
And I will say, really and truly, i mean, the writers, I think so much of the show so far is speaking to universal experiences. There is an element of truth to that, right? When you're anxious about something and then you start thinking about it too hard. and the next thing you know, the apocalypse just happened. Right.
00:19:04
Speaker
Oh, you didn't have your phone. Okay. I'm good now. I'm good. So you you were talking about she's in God's hands now. That was really dramatic. I thought it was really dramatic when Esther goes, you're not just breaking up with her. You're breaking up the whole family.
00:19:20
Speaker
All these people. If this man has like deep internalized shame that he can never get past, that's why. And then she walks away Sasha's like, yeah, breaking up the whole family. I'll get on it. Don't worry.
00:19:32
Speaker
I love him. He is hilarious. Again, i want to know if I think we talked about this last time, but I want to know... So, even in just that hospital scene when the Jewish family is all together and i you know they're doing what I would consider the stereotypical Jewish... Banter....kind of banter and interaction.
00:19:58
Speaker
um i would love for somebody to let us know... No, no, that's really how Jewish families are. It's just over the top. You said the same thing about the when I was watching the Marvelous Miss Maisel or whatever on Amazon.
00:20:14
Speaker
Oh, that was an excellent one. It That's right. Excellent. That is the stereotypical... that yeah That's how it goes. Okay. Maybe not today.
00:20:26
Speaker
Maybe more in the past, but it if they are... very into the yeah culture and religion. Yeah. Yeah. I really appreciated the Adam Levine joke.
00:20:40
Speaker
I don't know if they meant it. Yes. We're not but that was hilarious. It went on for a little while too. It was good. Well, when he said, well, just the very end, when so they they do that bit and then they're walking away. They have this thing and that every the way every scene ends,
00:20:58
Speaker
they're they're They're throwing extra little lines in there as we're transitioning. You think they're written in or they're improv? um I would dare say they're improv because they it would seem... I know write some those. This is well written though. I think they've thought about all of that.
00:21:14
Speaker
Delivered really well, which makes me think it might be improv. but But when they're walking away and he's like, Adam Levine, really? And she's like, yeah. And he goes, ah you just seem like you know an aggressive. I just picture him as like a gentle type.
00:21:30
Speaker
And I'm like, oh, that's and's a brutal...
00:21:36
Speaker
Yeah, just picture Adam Levine as like a gentle type, you know, like not DMing girls or anything. did wear dress for his daughter. Yeah. He slid in some DMs and, you know, he's done his fair share things. Took shirt off for no reason at Super Bowl. That was that much. Yeah, he's a guy. don't know.
00:21:56
Speaker
I just know his voice does not match his face. Not at all. Not at all. oh He's so weird. Adam Levine. i don't like him very much. He's so creepy to me.
00:22:08
Speaker
That's a nice face, apparently. I thought the at the the dog thing was it's pretty funny. Because she was she's like, that's my favorite sweater and I'm going it. and She turns around and like goes sit on the curb.
00:22:21
Speaker
Her knees are so dirty. Yes. I'm so glad you said that. like, that's ridiculous. That is. What you mean? in the bushes. First, I never even saw get, I mean, I don't know if she ever got her knees in the mulch. I mean, come on now. Right. We ever did it just a little bit. They shoot the scene and then they're like, okay, Kristen, can you come over here actually?
00:22:39
Speaker
Okay, can you just rub your knees into that dirt? Like really aggressively. yeah
00:22:49
Speaker
that's true That's like the commercial where the lady's running in and they make her do it over more mud. Right. Do it over more mud. The continuity there was a little... I was like, I don't know. I didn't... But then that dog was... It was trying to get away from her as they're sitting on that curb.
00:23:09
Speaker
And I'm like, man, they're struggling to shoot this. That's what I was thinking too. I read down the dog like... I didn't pick up on any of that. One time, because when she kind of went to pick it up, and it was like, whoa, that thing's going to get out of her arms. Because that's what Kevin does to me. I'll pick him up when he doesn't want to, and he'll wiggle. Right. I'm going to finesse out of this. I thought I could smell that dog through the TV. That dog looks so gross.
00:23:36
Speaker
I was like, oh, no, don't pick him up. Aw.
00:23:41
Speaker
I have written big hugs joke. what is What is that? Big hugs joke. We can do this thing again. Yeah, they were... um He was ah hugging his dad. Noah was hugging his dad after they had the talk.
00:23:57
Speaker
That's right. And then Sasha comes in. Oh, group hug. Yes. Let's give him some of this. Are we doing big hugs? Yeah, let get in on that. Yeah. well ah Are we doing big hugs?
00:24:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:11
Speaker
he's so good. um Okay, we can jump to episode four unless anybody has any. Oh, can say one more thing? Yeah, please, go. Still on three. Not going to cry.
00:24:22
Speaker
yeah. Actually, i have two things, Scott. Sorry. One is specifically about you. That feeling when you are verified in your feelings. So, you know, she was worked up. She was anticipating.
00:24:35
Speaker
um my gosh, he's not replying. And then for him to come and he's sitting on those steps outside with her and thinking, this is crazy. Why am I showing up here? And then he realizes...
00:24:49
Speaker
oh, she's feeling the same thing I'm feeling. Like, that's such a good feeling. I just got goosebumps literally thinking about it. That's such a good verification of... okay, I'm doing something crazy here, but I'm not in it by myself. And I feel like, okay, I wasn't being ridiculous. And this person's at least almost on the same level as me feeling something here. That was that was pretty cool.
00:25:14
Speaker
That's, man, yeah, because I'm, when you say that, I think of something and I don't know if you're thinking of it too, but I've definitely... It was that same type of- When me and you felt verified about our feelings for each other? We had a moment like that. I recall. It was on a different level, but- Okay. You know, wasn't like, oh my gosh, he is thinking about me.
00:25:36
Speaker
It wasn't that kind of thing, but yeah, it's a very real feeling. It was. and then, yeah, they portrayed it really well. The other thing I had, so there was a cool song playing at the end of episode two.
00:25:53
Speaker
By very well-known, apparently, I mean, not apparently. She's not with us anymore. Amy Winehouse. No. No, Charlie. I told you it was Rihanna.
00:26:06
Speaker
You thought it Amy Winehouse. Oh, okay. Anyway. Yes. That's what he said. It was Rihanna, but we thought it was Amy Winehouse. And then, Scott, you're a big Amy Winehouse fan?
00:26:17
Speaker
ah I mean, she's cool. i want i was hereing your my Aaron, you ruined that. You made me look like an idiot. I ruin that. He did talk to me about Amy Winehouse.
00:26:28
Speaker
Me? Yes. Y'all had a moment. We did have a com conversation conversation about Amy Winehouse. Did think we were walking Walgreens or somewhere. In Atlanta?
