Speaker 1: Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and
Speaker 1: I'm Catherine hileco. As parents and parenting writers, we can't
Speaker 1: help but see everything through a parenting lens. But as
Speaker 1: our kids have become adults, we find ourselves more interested
Speaker 1: in getting caught up on movies and streaming than I'm
Speaker 1: going over the same parenting topics over and over.
Speaker 2: So since we're pretty sure we can find parenting wisdom anywhere,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about what we're watching, what we
Speaker 2: thought about it, and maybe what we can learn from it,
Speaker 2: if only what not to do. Watch and listen along,
Speaker 2: and let's all make like we're doing something important for
Speaker 2: our families. Each Wednesday we bring you our thoughts on
Speaker 2: a newer entertainment property, and for this week of January twentieth,
Speaker 2: we're discussing the final episode Tears, of the second season
Speaker 2: of Shrinking. It was called the Last Thanksgiving, Yes a
Speaker 2: rather ominous title.
Speaker 1: It was. Before we get into this, I want to
Speaker 1: talk about the ending. Okay, we talk about the beginning,
Speaker 1: but even before we talk about the ending, I want
Speaker 1: to flashback to last week when we were talking about
Speaker 1: screens and how you said you're just not going to
Speaker 1: take the screens away from the kids, just not going
Speaker 1: to do it. Taking away screens almost cost a man
Speaker 1: his life in this episode. This is what happens. You
Speaker 1: take the phones in a box, somebody makes a cry
Speaker 1: for help. It doesn't get hurt, does but he potentially
Speaker 1: did not get hurt. So let everybody keep their phones.
Speaker 1: You never know. Yeah, most of the time they're just
Speaker 1: going to be checking their social media, but you never know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody might be collnfidence. Do you want that on your conscience? Gosh,
Speaker 1: if things had gone the way it looked like they
Speaker 1: were going to go, yeah, so much on the conscience.
Speaker 1: But last year, I think we were united in thinking
Speaker 1: that the way they ended the first season was awful,
Speaker 1: and they everybody was all happy. They were at Brian
Speaker 1: and Charlie's wedding. This horrible year was over. They had
Speaker 1: more or less got themselves together. Broken relationships had been healed.
Speaker 1: Everybody was great, and then Grace pushed her husband off
Speaker 1: the cliff, leaving us with the fear between the two
Speaker 1: seasons that it was the next season was going to
Speaker 1: be all about the repercussions of that legal professional personal
Speaker 1: It was just going to throw everything back into disarray
Speaker 1: and cause a whole new world of hurt and I
Speaker 1: hated it. Yeah, so we come to the second season
Speaker 1: and really, that whole plot line got kind of a eh,
Speaker 1: never mind. Yeah, there was just minimal. I mean, Grace
Speaker 1: was in jail for a short while, but then the
Speaker 1: charges were dropped. There were no professional reprecations, repercussions whatsoever,
Speaker 1: which there would have been. There were no legal repercussions,
Speaker 1: which there should have been. So it was sort of
Speaker 1: like a huh huh, And Okay, that's fine. I was happy, excellent, excellent.
Speaker 1: Let's just wipe that all away. Let's forget it ever happened.
Speaker 1: Let's move. So we get to the last episode of
Speaker 1: this and there's an other Thanksgiving party and everybody's all happy,
Speaker 1: and then we see Louis's I guess boss at the
Speaker 1: coffeehouse disinvite him to Friendsgiving because somebody amongst his friends
Speaker 1: knows that he knows what happened, which maybe we'll put
Speaker 1: that away to discuss later, huh. But an he sends
Speaker 1: a note to he goes to the train station. He
Speaker 1: sends a note to Alice, but her phone is in
Speaker 1: a basket because Gabby has collected everybody's phones, and you know,
Speaker 1: they keep intercutting between the happy people at the party,
Speaker 1: just like the happy people at the wedding and Louis
Speaker 1: sitting there at the train station and getting up and
Speaker 1: standing right at the very edge of the track, and
Speaker 1: the whole time. I watched this on Christmas morning, Christmas
Speaker 1: Eve morning when it dropped, sitting in the time share
Speaker 1: we were out on vacation, looking at my phone screen
Speaker 1: and yelling Bill Lawrence, don't you because they just I
Speaker 1: could totally see them doing that. It would be so mean,
Speaker 1: but it really really, I mean his toes were right
Speaker 1: at the edge of the track there. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was just and then you hear hey man and turn
Speaker 1: around and Jimmy is there, and the scene that follows
Speaker 1: just made me cry. It was lovely and may be
Speaker 1: worth all the anger, but still, thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: for doing that. Again. I appreciate it. I like to
Speaker 1: look forward to this show instead of dreading it because,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, even it ended the way it looked
Speaker 1: like it was going to end, there goes Jimmy and
Speaker 1: Alice's relationship. Alice is gonna blame herself, Gabby's gonna blame herself.
Speaker 1: Everything is just gonna be trash again.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Plus which I like bred Goldstein quite a bit. I
Speaker 1: would like him to his character to continue on the
Speaker 1: show in whatever capacity he is able. Right, So whew?
Speaker 1: That felt like Yeah, I mean I guess the joy,
Speaker 1: you know, the happiness of that ending, of the two
Speaker 1: of them finally talking and Jimmy realizing that this is
Speaker 1: really what.
Speaker 2: He needs to do. Yeah, I mean, it's just.
Speaker 1: Made so much more by the fact that it's not
Speaker 1: what it could have been. Right, We're just like, oh, great, great, sure,
Speaker 1: why do you know that how he plays that game
Speaker 1: with the person across the track? Hi, Alice told you
Speaker 1: it's fine. I don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care.
Speaker 1: What sort of true crime people do Your bosses are
Speaker 1: your boss's friends that they know just by your first
Speaker 1: name that you're that guy. Never mind, we don't care, right,
Speaker 1: So yay? Love the ending?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I did find I thought it was
Speaker 2: a little it was a little contrived, right to get
Speaker 2: don't care, to get Jimmy to that point and to
Speaker 2: get Lewis to that point. Yes, But like you, I
Speaker 2: was you know, just going no no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no, you could just see.
Speaker 1: Where it was going the moment he sends Alice a
Speaker 1: text and it rings in the basket.
Speaker 2: Oh no, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Many people I read on social media were angry that
Speaker 1: he would put that kind of pressure on a child
Speaker 1: that did he really have nobody else? I mean, he
Speaker 1: could have texted Brian theoretically, who also wouldn't have got it.
Speaker 1: And actually Jimmy would never have seen it, because I
Speaker 1: guess Alice must have looked at her phone and shown him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess. But I just really feel like
Speaker 1: he had nobody else and he was trying to reach out,
Speaker 1: which is a good thing, which is what we want
Speaker 1: people to do on this show. I think Paul said,
Speaker 1: we can get through anything if we have people to
Speaker 1: lean on, which is the theme of the show and
Speaker 1: also the theme of this little bit that Lewis hasn't
Speaker 1: had anybody to lean on, and Jimmy really hasn't allowed
Speaker 1: himself to lean So I think it was kind of
Speaker 1: nice that they And now whether he's just going to
Speaker 1: be sucked right into the friend group next year, it
Speaker 1: is a little weird.
Speaker 2: That seems like a lot.
Speaker 1: But also Bill Laurence said that Brett Goldstein is a
Speaker 1: busy guy, so it's unclear how much he will be
Speaker 1: able to be in, but you know they'll they'll make
Speaker 1: it work whatever they do. Is Derek to back now
Speaker 1: or was he just doing you know, a Thanksgiving blessing
Speaker 1: by coming by Gabby's and bringing making everything lovely? Yes,
Speaker 1: that guy's got great timing, not everything else.
Speaker 2: He's so handsome.
Speaker 1: Terry also he is you know who else is hot?
Speaker 1: Julie Julie is. We've heard them too, Wendy Malick. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy for you. You must really enjoy this. That's
Speaker 1: great and totally true. Baby, Yeah, kidnapping him in and out?
Speaker 2: So cute.
Speaker 1: They're so cute.
Speaker 2: Of course they all have to be together for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: This is a sitcom.
Speaker 1: Come on now, be a little mad to be missing
Speaker 1: the in and out myself. I haven't had that for
Speaker 1: so long.
Speaker 2: You can go to in and out any other day.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's true. They can go on the way home.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: So what do we think from a parenting point of
Speaker 1: view about lisbeing the nanny part time nanny because her
Speaker 1: superpower is being a mom and it's her purpose as
Speaker 1: being a mom. Do we feel like that's condescending and
Speaker 1: kind of gross or do we feel like, well, she
Speaker 1: did tell them from the very beginning, you better get
Speaker 1: this baby for me, and she did, like, you know,
Speaker 1: adopt Alice very readily. And also when there was a
Speaker 1: baby in the break room, she grabbed that baby and
Speaker 1: was was momming that baby up. So it seems like
Speaker 1: she's sort of allowed for that definition of herself as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean if it was like, well, Liz
Speaker 2: is a woman, so she can be the nanny, that
Speaker 2: would be different, right than.
Speaker 1: From because Liz is Liz.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sure the other nanny will not enjoy having
Speaker 2: Liz be in charge of her and that will not
Speaker 2: last very long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although the other nanny was smart enough to talk
Speaker 1: directly to her instead of to the guys. Yes, so
Speaker 1: maybe she gets it right. But I you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think we've had the most glowing portrayal of Liz's
Speaker 1: sons in this They all seem to be kind of
Speaker 1: dumb and jerky. So if yes said the smart one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think dumb is it is not
Speaker 2: as bad as jerky, right, And they're not true really jerky,
Speaker 2: They're just the.
Speaker 1: Older brothers are being jerky to the younger brothers.
Speaker 2: Well, that's true, but that's and it's like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, they're just not not necessarily stuff for
Speaker 1: Liz to put on her resume. Look, I parented these
Speaker 1: three young men.
Speaker 2: And look how great they are.
Speaker 1: Take off that gap.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I mean how long has I mean,
Speaker 2: Charlie definitely hasn't really known live very long and and
Speaker 2: know the boys very well. And I don't know about Brian.
Speaker 2: You know, they're basically going.
Speaker 1: They knew, they do know that Liz is kind of
Speaker 1: a pain in the bleep, right and is going to
Speaker 1: control everything in their lives now. But oh well.
Speaker 2: They're willing at this point. They don't know what they're
Speaker 2: getting into.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or if they do, they don't care. They're so
Speaker 1: frightened that they don't care. Overwhelmed, right, because they would
Speaker 1: have taken any one of those other nannies, which looked
Speaker 1: it's a spectacularly unpromised parade of nanny's.
Speaker 2: As always on a TV show. That's right. I mean
Speaker 2: I never had a nanny because I did not want
Speaker 2: to manage a nanny.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think that's a completely reasonable.
Speaker 2: I did not want to be the boss. I didn't
Speaker 2: want to hire and fire people, I no daycare center, please, like,
Speaker 2: I will take your germs in exchange for the fact
Speaker 2: that there is someone in charge who isn't me.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh my.
Speaker 2: I mean I was. We had what I grew up having,
Speaker 2: basically nanny's. I mean they were never called nanny's because
Speaker 2: I don't think we heard of that term, but until
Speaker 2: I was in high school because I had younger siblings
Speaker 2: and we needed someone to drive us all around. But
Speaker 2: I knew when my kid was little, I was like,
Speaker 2: I can't, I can't.
Speaker 1: We had for a while I was working like three
Speaker 1: days a week in the city and my husband had
Speaker 1: days off during the week, and we wound up needing
Speaker 1: somebody to meet the school bus because it was special eds,
Speaker 1: so they dropped off at the house. We need somebody
Speaker 1: home to meet the school bus and be there for
Speaker 1: like an hour or two maybe one day a week. Right,
Speaker 1: So we did have like a lady from church who
Speaker 1: did that for us and was very nice, and I
Speaker 1: wish that I remembered her name or anything. But then
Speaker 1: at some point I stopped working and I started working
Speaker 1: at home, and then we never needed anybody, right, but
Speaker 1: I stopped working in that office, so but it was
Speaker 1: just the way our schedules worked. Somebody was home almost
Speaker 1: all the time. Except it's like one. There's always like one.
Speaker 2: A little over make it work right.
Speaker 1: So but it wasn't. It didn't feel like a nanny.
Speaker 1: It felt like a lady who came to our house
Speaker 1: one day a week and sat with the kids for
Speaker 1: two hours scaling. Soho, I guess we must have given
Speaker 1: her a key, so we trusted her that much.
Speaker 2: But you just sit on the stoop with the children.
Speaker 1: If it's winter, you can hear's a blanket.
Speaker 2: You can maybe go around back. There's a there's a
Speaker 2: table out there.
Speaker 1: We have a pool, you can go ice skating.
Speaker 2: I didn't even like to have, you know, an evening babysitters,
Speaker 2: just for the same reason, like even you know, neighborhood teens.
Speaker 2: I would just be like, I don't need this is
Speaker 2: too too hard and I'm too lazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think we ever like did the teenage
Speaker 1: babysitter thing either. I think my husband's parents were in town. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we also had friends who were from out of
Speaker 1: town but would come and sit with them if there
Speaker 1: was a reason, right, So between that, I think we
Speaker 1: just did because they would have been a little bit
Speaker 1: of a bit of a hand my son in particular,
Speaker 1: we'd been a little bit of a handful for a
Speaker 1: teenage nanny. So it was very fortunate that we had
Speaker 1: people nearby, you know, and at one point my mother
Speaker 1: in law was living downstairs, so then we never even
Speaker 1: had to have somebody come over wed just you know.
Speaker 2: So C's in charge.
Speaker 1: You know, Liz would would do a great job, but
Speaker 1: she would tell you She's not just going to tell
Speaker 1: bat nanny what to do.
Speaker 2: The guys, although I feel like they might they might
Speaker 2: welcome that because they feel pretty, they might out of
Speaker 2: their depth, so they.
Speaker 1: This whole thing seems possibly poorly thought out. I feel
Speaker 1: like this all happened very quickly for them and that
Speaker 1: maybe is not for the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's television for you've been.
Speaker 1: Married one season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we need we need some big moments for
Speaker 2: season three.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, Well we could have been been
Speaker 1: celebrating another new child situation had summer not I guess
Speaker 1: procured her item at the drug store with Jimmy's assistant, right,
Speaker 1: how awkward was that? Very sweet that she is the
Speaker 1: one he was the one she would call to help right,
Speaker 1: and that it kind of got him off the hook
Speaker 1: with Alice. But wow, was that awkward? Yea, the old
Speaker 1: drug store guy going, I just want this to be right,
Speaker 1: you want this, Let's just let's just never mind.
Speaker 2: I see what's happening here, and I'm just gonna walk
Speaker 2: away slowly.
Speaker 1: Sweet. I get that you like calling people pimp in
Speaker 1: this situation.
Speaker 2: Now is not the time.
Speaker 1: Now, it's not the time. Oh something so much? Did
Speaker 1: you just catch a moment where there was in that
Speaker 1: little montage at the en where everybody was happy before
Speaker 1: Lewis almost jumped in front of the train, there was
Speaker 1: Liz and Alice were dancing, and Connor was looking at
Speaker 1: them and laughing, and Summer was looking at him like
Speaker 1: do I need to do another versa cheeter bitch for you?
Speaker 1: I wondered if that was if that was just something
Speaker 1: I was reading into it, or if it was a
Speaker 1: bookmark for next season.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting, I didn't catch that, But that doesn't mean
Speaker 2: it's it's not I.
Speaker 1: Mean, she wasn't looking angry. She was just kind of
Speaker 1: looking at him like.
Speaker 2: Like smiling this away exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's his mother and his friend. He
Speaker 1: can smile at them dancing. I guess maybe he should
Speaker 1: be smiling it his girlfriend would be a good idea.
Speaker 1: And did you ever get apologies for his brothers who
Speaker 1: thought he made summer up?
Speaker 2: I doubt it. I don't have that much faith in
Speaker 2: those two.
Speaker 1: Last week I was asking whether you ever have that
Speaker 1: many women over as Julie had in Paul's Fortress of Solitary.
Speaker 1: This week, some things that occurred to me is, have
Speaker 1: you ever bounced boobs with your friend?
Speaker 2: Done? Like?
Speaker 1: This show just enjoys making up human behavior that does
Speaker 1: not exist in the wild. And that's fine, it's funny,
Speaker 1: it's amusing, but really really, yeah, that's the secret small ones.
Speaker 1: So I don't do too much along those lines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same heres.
Speaker 1: People are weird. But I was happy to see the
Speaker 1: lady from the art gallery back. I can see her.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's around the edges of this thing.
Speaker 2: Gabby's ex'es X right.
Speaker 1: X yes, yeap. Bonding through mutual xs. That's the thing
Speaker 1: that happens. It's weirdly. The guy I dated in high
Speaker 1: school wound up dating somebody who became a friend of
Speaker 1: mine after they dated, and we're like just talking and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it develops who we both dated weird,
Speaker 1: so we didn't exactly bond over it, but it strengthened
Speaker 1: door balls.
Speaker 2: It came up later. Yeah, well someone in my book
Speaker 2: club is in there because she briefly dated the ex
Speaker 2: husband of someone else in the book club and she
Speaker 2: was like, I need friends. Like I don't know exactly how,
Speaker 2: like what the timing of it was, but but yeah,
Speaker 2: that's how she got connected to our book club. And
Speaker 2: it's just like shrinking and she's she's married to someone else,
Speaker 2: the ex husband's married to someone else that you know,
Speaker 2: it's every it's all far in the past at this point.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was. I was like, you know, that's
Speaker 2: kind of that's brave, like like I need to meet people.
Speaker 2: I want to meet some women. And she actually somehow
Speaker 2: reached out to our friend who's in the book club
Speaker 2: and good for her.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, it sounds like a sitcom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's great, the club sitcom. There you go.
Speaker 1: Well, few other parenting things I wrote down in this.
Speaker 1: This was in addition to having the beg ending to
Speaker 1: talk about how a lot of parenting.
Speaker 2: Yes, it did.
Speaker 1: The scene where he goes to Gabby's house and Alice
Speaker 1: knows he's there, but doesn't want him to know. She
Speaker 1: doesn't want to come down and talk to her, but
Speaker 1: she does yell out to him, so he knows she's
Speaker 1: there and ignoring him. That's some that's some passive aggressive
Speaker 1: stuff going on there and sounds familiar a teen, yes,
Speaker 1: but also very sweet that Summer says to him, you
Speaker 1: really give a bleep, don't you? So she can she
Speaker 1: can see that he cares about her friend. So maybe
Speaker 1: she just made up that whole thing at the drug store.
Speaker 1: Just give him something to do that will get Alice
Speaker 1: say what a good friend? She is a front to everybody.
Speaker 1: And Sean had that little talk with Alice. Yeah, was
Speaker 1: saying that Paul said to him, if you only love
Speaker 1: someone hoping they'll change one day, that's not love, and
Speaker 1: that his dad has earned that from him, even if
Speaker 1: he says I love you by thinker right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sean was like the only person who wasn't at
Speaker 2: the big Thanksgiving, Yeah, and it was fitting that he was.
Speaker 2: It was at home with his own family, so it's
Speaker 2: very nice.
Speaker 1: A little odd that everybody was doing the thank you thing, but.
Speaker 2: Well, I just feel like that's just something that happens,
Speaker 2: had a lot of Thanksgivings.
Speaker 1: It is, it is and nicely done that it started
Speaker 1: with him and then went back to the party. The
Speaker 1: scene where Paul and his friend are in the coffee
Speaker 1: shop and Jimmy comes in and everybody wants a piece
Speaker 1: of his I do that to my kids if they
Speaker 1: get a dessert, I have to have I actually I.
Speaker 2: Just a little taste.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, my son walks around the box of crackers.
Speaker 1: Mom tas it's very generous. He gives me more crackers
Speaker 1: than I would have taken. It's not very well for me,
Speaker 1: but relate to them. And a little weird that that
Speaker 1: guy wound up at the Thanksgiving dinner. But I guess
Speaker 1: Julie told Gabby to invite him, but only if they
Speaker 1: were going well.
Speaker 2: I guess Julie knew she was. She was gonna go,
Speaker 2: you know, drag Paul there that.
Speaker 1: The conversation between Jimmy and Alice, when Jimmy finally talked
Speaker 1: to her, and then she comes out with this very
Speaker 1: sweet thing that she says to him that could let
Speaker 1: him off the hook, but you have to do it anyway.
Speaker 1: And then he says, you are who you are. This
Speaker 1: amazing woman in spite of me.
Speaker 2: Sniff sniff, and then.
Speaker 1: She remembers all the good things. That was very nice,
Speaker 1: very I mean, of course that's the way it went
Speaker 1: and a little a little neat, but still, you know,
Speaker 1: brought it here to my mothering aunt. Yes, I try
Speaker 1: to take, you know, responsibility for all the bad things
Speaker 1: that have happened like that. And my kids don't want
Speaker 1: to hear him, so Deli glice, Yeah, yeah, they're just
Speaker 1: they're at Alice post tantrum and talk with Sean like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've been over this. Never mind, You're fine, You're good,
Speaker 1: You're good. It's all good. Right.
Speaker 2: So do you have season wide thoughts as well?
Speaker 1: Well? I've heard Bill Lawrence say that the first season
Speaker 1: was about grief and the second season was about forgiveness,
Speaker 1: and I think they did that really well, and that
Speaker 1: the third season is going to be about moving on.
Speaker 2: So that's why they'll need Kobe Smolders.
Speaker 1: That's right. I'm assuming Kobe Smoulders is going to be
Speaker 1: part of that, and that I hope Derek too will
Speaker 1: be part of that. Yeah, but it really did end
Speaker 1: with everybody kind of getting their bleep together and resolving things, right,
Speaker 1: and getting into a good place, you know, Gabby has
Speaker 1: maybe not. I'm not sure if Derek two is back
Speaker 1: forever or just back to be hot and magnanimous for
Speaker 1: one more time, but he should be. She's like come
Speaker 1: to terms with why she does what she does. She
Speaker 1: must be very difficult when you're a therapist. I mean, gosh,
Speaker 1: how could she not have done, you know, well, heal
Speaker 1: thyself well?
Speaker 2: And I mean I thought that all.
Speaker 1: Therapists, I should not be able to heal it.
Speaker 2: So I thought that all therapists were in therapy themselves.
Speaker 1: I would have thought so, But none of these people say,
Speaker 1: I know, and they really need it.
Speaker 2: Just shows just Paul barge In yelling at them from
Speaker 2: time to time.
Speaker 1: One thing I was left wondering by this is how
Speaker 1: tall was Gabby's dad, Because she's like a head and
Speaker 1: shoulders taller than her mother and her sister. I mean
Speaker 1: when she went to hug her mother when she came
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving, which is very sweet. I loved that the
Speaker 1: way they did that. But she called she's just like
Speaker 1: it is like in completely enveloping her in this hug
Speaker 1: from like a ball. It's it's it's odd. Yes, very short, Oh, well,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna believe that her dad was a famous
Speaker 1: basket most Yes, like one of those guys who's not
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars dancing with Danielle. Oh, well, I
Speaker 1: could talk about this for a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well this was really good.
Speaker 1: I do like the idea of grief and then forgiveness,
Speaker 1: and the way they incorporated forgiveness all the way through
Speaker 1: in this, including uh, you know, Liz and Derek and
Speaker 1: their thing. Yes, and Summer and Connor and everybody just
Speaker 1: sort of from from relatively small scale offenses.
Speaker 2: To yes, too much larger ones.
Speaker 1: Yes, they all managed to get to a point where
Speaker 1: they could be where they can move on. So I
Speaker 1: very much look forward to seeing what that looks like
Speaker 1: next season. Yeah, except then, if everybody has their leap
Speaker 1: together and they move on, is there a fourth season?
Speaker 1: Right at the end, it makes me worry for the
Speaker 1: end of next season because they're gonna oh crud, we
Speaker 1: got to mess stuff up.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I like watching people who are happy, watching people are
Speaker 1: happy and make jokes and have fun with making series
Speaker 1: for ten years. We do not need grief and drama,
Speaker 1: not a perio acquisite. No exactly, Let's have fun.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, we are going to try to continue to
Speaker 2: have fun because next week we're going to start a
Speaker 2: new series. We're just gonna speaking of moving on, We're
Speaker 2: gonna move on. It's called A Man on the Inside,
Speaker 2: a comedy that is connected to some of our past
Speaker 2: faves like Parks and rec and The Good Place because
Speaker 2: it is part of the Mike Sure everse. And it
