Mother’s Day Memories, Sitcom Moms & Mom Is Mad Signals · My Third Place Pod

0:00
Welcome back to my third place. Not home, not for work, but
0:05
that's familiar. In between where stories get
0:07
shared, memories get unlocked, and the porch light is always on
0:10
for whoever needs a place to sit for a while.
0:13
Tonight we have people in the chat already.
0:15
Shenrod Menace, Leanna, Ketosaurus, how's everybody
0:20
doing? Thanks for dropping in.
0:23
Thanks for hanging out with us for tonight.
0:26
Tonight though, is might be the mother of all episodes.
0:30
We are officially rolling into Mother's Day weekend and there's
0:34
one thing that always brings out stories, nostalgia and laughter
0:38
and a little emotional damage all at the same time.
0:42
Talking about moms, this is episode 293 and Greg is back on
0:48
the porch with me as we lean all the way into one of those
0:50
Community most community driven episodes we've done in a while.
0:54
No doubt, No doubt. This week, the project questions
0:58
absolutely took off. We asked Community for the top
1:01
five sitcom moms. People came ready for battle.
1:05
Everybody has a list. The wholesome TV moms, the
1:08
chaotic moms. The moms who somehow held entire
1:10
sitcoms families together while everyone around them completely
1:14
lost their minds. Somebody's rank is my start
1:17
argument. But we didn't stop there.
1:19
No, no, no, no, no, we didn't stop there.
1:25
We also asked the moms in the community, hey, what's the
1:29
weirdest thing you've ever gotten from your kid for
1:31
Mother's Day? And on the flip side, you as a
1:37
child, what's the weirdest thing you ever gave your mom for
1:39
Mother's Day? Which means that tonight's
1:46
episode is packed with the kind of stories that only families
1:48
can create. The heartfelt gifts, the
1:50
confusing gifts, the you made this at school and thought it
1:54
was a good idea gifts. And because every generation
1:59
seems to share certain universal mom experiences, we're also
2:02
asking questions like, what was the mom is mad signal in your
2:06
house? You know the one.
2:07
Look, the tone, that silence that somehow felt louder than
2:13
yelling. It took forever to find out why
2:22
she was mad and who she was mad at because she would talk like
2:27
give me the fuck around, Like oh damn.
2:32
And maybe the most important question of all, what's the most
2:35
mom saying your mom ever said the phrases of somehow every
2:40
mother in America seemed to know at the exact same time.
2:44
Hey, where can I find this? Over there.
2:47
Where? Over there?
2:48
Next to the thing. I can't.
2:55
I can't. I can't find it.
2:57
Well, if I find it, I'm going to, you know what I'm going to
2:59
do, right? Son of a bitch.
3:04
Tonight's episode is basically one giant front porch
3:06
conversation about the woman who raised us, embarrassed us,
3:10
protected us, and somehow always knew exactly what was going on.
3:13
Even when we saw it, we were slick.
3:15
Because, you know, moms have eyes on the back of their heads,
3:18
apparently. Liana says Greg, but of course
3:26
is still the MPV podcast. So there's a little chaos mixed
3:29
in too Well, actually we have we all have an update on the
3:33
upcoming dungeon crawler Carl TV series, including where you'll
3:36
eventually be able to watch it because we've been following the
3:39
book journey with us. You know, we got shots.
3:42
We're also reacting to everything that went down at WE
3:45
Backlash because the post WrestleMania season officially
3:48
kicked off in a big way and there's one of the weirdest
3:52
stories of the week, Target teaming up with Pokémon for the
3:55
30th anniversary celebration. MMM, normally it sounds
3:59
wholesome, right, man? It says Greg.
4:02
Hi, Gregory. Except apparently the scalpers
4:08
show up in full force, and not just for Pokémon cards.
4:15
He's no damn sin. But somehow for the pop heart,
4:20
pop tarts too, nothing is safe anymore.
4:26
Nothing is sacred. Shed Ross says Rumor has an evil
4:29
lead me and Greg and a cover of Tyrese Sweet Lady.
4:36
I I don't know that song. Tyrese sweet baby.
4:40
What about yeah? Yeah.
4:44
What about it though? What do you say?
4:47
Oh, Shenra says. Rumor has it evil will lead me
4:51
and Greg in a cover of Tyrese Sweet Lady.
4:56
That's great. Somehow, in the middle of all
5:01
this, we're playing a game that might start some debates.
5:04
Would this 80s or 90s sitcom trope fly today?
5:08
Chris Locke, how you doing? Because if you go back and watch
5:11
some of these old episodes now, there are definitely moments
5:14
where you stop and go. Yeah, they absolutely could not
5:17
air that storyline the same way today.
5:20
So what are you here for? The Mother's Day story, the
5:22
sitcom nostalgia, the wrestling reactions, the Pokémon chaos or
5:25
just another night hanging out on the porch with us?
5:27
Pull up a chair. This is episode 293 of the M3
5:30
podcast. Let's get into it.
5:36
He knows an evil. Watch the video.
5:38
You'll remember, sweet lady. I'll have to.
5:41
All right, I'll watch the I'll have to watch your sweet lady
5:45
video, I guess. I did.
5:46
I did, with my time zone on the dinosaur.
5:49
If I could track it down, I'll send it to you.
5:51
You'll know. You'll know it when you hear it,
5:53
though. OK, So no video footage on his
6:04
side because he's dealing with technical difficulties, but we
6:08
are going to do hey, it's minus I'm I'm going to change it up to
6:12
be an audio on Spotify. So it's all good.
6:16
How we doing, brother? How you doing?
6:18
How's your? Week typical week nonsense at
6:20
work, but you know that's life. But besides that, I'm, I'm good.
6:24
I'm here. We're.
6:27
Here, let's go. You're here.
6:29
We're all here, we're all enjoying the night.
6:34
So apparently the on air saying that I have going on up there, I
6:42
tested out on Wednesday with Menace and it just too bright.
6:47
You can't see what it says. So I decided to turn it off and
6:52
leave it off while we're recording.
6:55
This way we can have the light on there.
6:58
But yeah, I was like I went to the antique.
7:01
I found it for like 2999. I'm just like, hell yeah, I need
7:04
to take this home with me. And so I did.
7:06
And it's like, I've put it up there and it's like been I love
7:10
it. Is it lights up the room, It
7:13
lights up everything up there. And it's just like, it needs to
7:16
be here because I have, you know, it's like, but I wanted to
7:20
like in like put it on while we're recording and it didn't
7:24
work. So now I'm just like, all right,
7:26
it's just another. But it's still staying out
7:28
though, you know what I'm saying?
7:30
Yeah, it still stands out. It still says on there, but it
7:33
doesn't light up on when I wanted to.
7:36
But yeah, everything is good so far.
7:41
The lawn mowing. Just happening you.
7:49
Know you light up the room, you light up the room always.
7:54
Thank you, appreciate that. I light up the room always.
7:57
We all we all light up the room always again, when to go get
8:05
food today backlash came home and I went to go get some tacos
8:11
and nachos and I came home and like, you know, it was already
8:15
on. I was like, all right, I got to
8:16
put shit backlash on, played it and I was just like, all right,
8:20
cool was about sit down and eat and then they realized they
8:25
didn't give me any fucking guacamole.
8:30
So what was the first match? Seth versus Braun.
8:33
All right, cool, watched it. Second match was trick versus
8:37
Sammy. I'm like called to get my
8:40
guacamole at that left came back, the match was over.
8:44
All right, cool, watch the repeat.
8:46
I was like, all right, awesome. He won trick one and everything
8:51
else on there that what was that third?
8:55
Match Jen Nelson. What do you think of it?
8:58
Shit. Ridiculous.
9:00
Yeah, sure. Yeah.
9:01
Like, like I'm back in 1992. Right, Right, right.
9:06
And she gonna make no sense. Thank you.
9:07
Sir, but. You know, but you know,
9:10
everybody you know picked up. It's my opinion, you know, So
9:15
you know, it is what it is, Ted. Sure.
9:17
But I wouldn't feel any though. Rumor had it that rumor was that
9:26
Jelly Roll was going to be hit. Thank God he what?
9:33
I don't know. No, same.
9:35
Some some guy on TikTok was like, I would I was like, all
9:38
right, cool. It's like I just found out Joey
9:40
was going to be his partner. I don't mind it.
9:42
I was like, I really don't mind it.
9:43
And it's like, you know, if anybody could do it, like he
9:45
could do it. Hey, Lawrence and about in the
9:48
house. If anybody could do it, it would
9:51
be him. And you go into his comments and
9:54
nobody agrees with him. It's like, shut up, dude.
9:58
What are you talking about? There's like, you wouldn't mind
10:00
to be Jelly roll. I'm like, yeah, you have an
10:04
opinion, but still don't know your your opinion just sucks at
10:08
the moment. Read the room.
10:11
Nobody wants to be Jelly Roll. It basically just takes an
10:15
opportunity from one of the wrestlers that are already
10:17
there. They just like kicked out a
10:18
bunch of wrestlers and like, you know, really a bunch of them.
10:22
And you want Jelly Roll to be in here?
10:26
Yeah, that's those celebrities pouring into the East TKO.
10:30
Stop with the ridiculous. Exactly.
10:34
Like, yeah, dude, like a wrestler that hasn't been in
10:38
there in a while or like R Truth or Damien Priest one is rather
10:45
than Jelly Roll, like, why don't you do that?
10:47
And we have we already have a celebrity and a fucking I
10:50
wouldn't call him so very fucking Lil Yachty.
10:53
We already have a rapper. We already have freaking someone
10:57
who took over Travis Scott last. Week you doing that though?
11:02
That's why I won't know. What's the fucking point though?
11:07
The thing is here with this, I'm OK with this one because you
11:11
didn't see Travis Scott at all in the audience or hanging out
11:14
or watching the show. The.
11:18
Entire time in the audience and you said same thing with Vanessa
11:22
Hudgens. Like we could tell her that
11:23
she's a freaking wrestling fan. Kat Denning, she's a real
11:27
wrestling fan enough to where like she got kicked out of she
11:31
got chased out of Twitter because the fucking I don't see
11:34
was like being ridiculous towards her and she had to
11:36
delete her Twitter account. Who else is a freaking wrestling
11:42
fan? That and like Timothy Chalamet,
11:46
I don't know who the guy is. I've never seen his movies, but
11:49
he was in on What's his Face, Cody Rose podcast and he was
11:54
just dishing out all kinds of information from the past years
11:57
about wrestling and how he was a big wrestling fan.
12:01
And I'm like, see, that's what I want to see.
12:03
Like put Lil Yachty in that spot, put all these other people
12:07
on that spot, put Ice Cube Sun. In there as well.
12:11
Yeah, he'll. Be Yeah, yeah, He's part.
12:16
He's part of our culture. I've never seen his.
12:20
I've never seen chill Timothy Charlamagne's movies.
12:23
I know who he is. I've seen his face.
12:25
That's it. I've never seen doom.
12:28
That's all I know of him from like, I've never seen him, like,
12:34
sorry, you know. But yeah, that's match was for
12:42
the kids. Oh, share with the ish for show.
12:46
Yeah, for sure. What's the phase, Timothy
12:53
Chalamet? Was it called that?
12:57
That whole match was for the kids, of course.
13:00
And then we had EO Sky versus Oscar, which felt like the last
13:06
time they'll ever wrestle because and face, I guess.
13:10
Then actually leave me though. And a dad.
13:14
That's what it felt like, too. She might this might be.
13:18
She might be tired of the bullshit though.
13:19
Tell the truth so. Yeah.
13:23
Did she wait one of those? She was she the one of the ones
13:25
that got the paper? I don't know, but it is saying,
13:28
I mean, she had a post on Instagram last night and she was
13:32
quoting the lyrics of that Frank Sinatra and, and it you know how
13:41
she was crying and stuff. It seemed like she leaving
13:43
though, you know, and I don't blame him with the nonsense
13:46
that's going on so. Right, Yeah, I felt the same
13:54
way. I'm like, damn, is she she going
13:56
to leave or something? What's going on?
13:59
She's crying. Hopefully she doesn't and we get
14:03
to see her again for war games every week.
14:07
Someone going exactly. Well, it it is.
14:15
And John Cena comes out. How do you want us to not miss
14:25
you? And then you keep coming back
14:26
for everything else. Everybody's yelling.
14:30
One more match, one more match. You know, I figured like, Brock
14:34
Lesnar left. TKO is all scrambling.
14:38
Grambling. Hey, John, can you come back?
14:43
Can you do us a favor and like come back and do all this stuff?
14:47
And it's like, no, I reached it, I'm retiring, Peace out.
14:51
But I will do this. The John Cena Invitational with
14:58
a champion belt. So basically it's like a seed.
15:04
It's like a bracket saying where it's like this person and this
15:08
bracket, that's these four people in this bracket, these
15:10
four people in this bracket. Because you're still gonna have
15:14
a match. You're still gonna like go into
15:17
the finals and win the match. But the end of the scene, the
15:20
whole thing, the audience gets to vote who?
15:23
That's some crazy shit. That's some old Taboo Tuesday
15:27
type of shit though. That's what I said too.
15:30
He's all like the first time this ever happens, like Taboo
15:33
Tuesday. We've got to be forced, Sir.
15:37
But this is not like Taboo Tuesday were like we picked the
15:41
matches. No, we're picking the winners
15:44
and like the hustle because they hustle so much, they get to win
15:49
like, yeah, so it really doesn't matter if you win the match or
15:54
out of, you know, talent. It's popularity contest Then.
16:01
Ah, shit, they get a John Cena championship belt, which you
16:04
don't get to fan. You get to defend probably once
16:07
a year. That's one thing she ever.
16:11
Heard my life. Same thing.
16:12
John Cena. Amortation of championship.
16:17
Come on now. Come on.
16:18
Yeah. What the fuck is y'all doing
16:20
man? Anything to put John Cena's name
16:24
on, on the same so that that was his big announcement.
16:35
And I'm like, OK, all right, so we're not going to hear any more
16:40
of this until like the end of the year then, because that's
16:42
when it actually happens. We have a king of the ring.
16:47
We have the Saudi Arabia, both championship, whatever the
16:55
championship there. And then we have a Johnson
16:57
Invitational. So basically like make up new
16:59
shit as they go along. Great after that is Roman Reigns
17:07
versus Jacob fought 2. It was all right, just a lot of
17:18
a lot of the submission move and I'm just like damn, Jacob
17:25
doesn't sell for shit. Like he throws them into the
17:32
turnbuckles, both turnbuckle hit them and then does a spear and
17:36
then pins him 123 and then Jake. Like what were you knocked out
17:41
for like 5 seconds? He just, he's just crazy.
17:45
That crazy ass cousin, like that's man.
17:49
Like we all got like we got all got to one cousin.
17:52
This actor, this is insane. You mean this shit though?
17:57
All gas, no brakes. You mean this shit?
18:01
I mean, I'm. In.
18:03
He said Sacramento, CA. I know Chad was like, yeah, boy,
18:09
even me, I was just like hell yeah, that's awesome as hell
18:13
because we're both from Zach. So I love that he did that.
18:20
But same time Roman wins. Northern Cali king there he is
18:24
no Roman wins here comes Jacob again and gets the shit out of
18:30
him takes out takes out Gregory hounds.
18:34
I'm like not the hurricane takes out everybody in there is like
18:39
oh man, OK, these are old ex wrestlers that's awesome.
18:48
Hold the belt up and then leave and then comes back and start
18:50
beating him some more and then holds the belt up again, money
18:53
shot and then leave and yeah, that's it.
18:57
I'm like Jay and Jimmy weren't. They said that's what they said.
19:01
We get involved in this shit. So.
19:07
What? None of that.
19:08
They're like, that's crazy. He told us to stay back.
19:10
We're staying back. Can't wait for Monday to see
19:15
what happens next. Like, that's that's the kind of
19:18
thing it is. Like yeah, but.
19:20
Robin, he said that Jacob not going to beat her no more.
19:25
So I guess he got, I guess he got some stroke or whatever, so.
19:31
He don't belong there. You're crazy.
19:34
That's why I don't want. I don't.
19:35
I didn't want anybody. Me being part of the family.
19:38
No, you'll be. Saying because you tell your ass
19:40
up, that's all, dear. Oh drunk ass.
19:48
Drunk ass? Yeah.
19:53
Out of 10, What do you think of it?
19:57
I give it AI, give it a 8, the Oscar and AEO match plus that
20:05
main event Saturday, you know what I'm saying?
20:10
Oh yeah. Oh yeah, Hobbs, I'm like.
20:16
Royce Key. Royce Key is a Part 2 meeting up
20:20
and Sean Love is dope. It is.
20:22
I'm like these two known each other.
20:24
Damn, that's like hush shit right there.
20:26
Let's go let them be the Cali wrecking crew.
20:37
Hell yeah that. Would be.
20:39
That would be bad, I ain't gonna lie.
20:43
Yeah, I know you said you you gave up on durable, but it was
20:49
an alright season. There's this one guy, Daniel, in
20:53
there. He was part of the Kingpin
20:57
administration. Every time I see this dude, it
21:02
made me uneasy because he reminded me so much of, I want
21:10
to say his name, Baron. For some reason, it just
21:16
reminded me of Trump. Baron Trump and just like the
21:21
way he like looked and everything is like, why does
21:24
this dude remind me and looks just like Baron Trump?
21:28
And last season I was like, I don't like him, I don't like him
21:32
and then these this season is like still I don't like him, but
21:35
still it's like it just reminds me of him.
21:36
We could compare them. It did his facial features and
21:39
everything reminded me so much of him.
21:42
And then I find out his he's a who's it?
21:46
His name is Gondolfini. Oh like oh shit, is he related
21:49
to Gondolfini? I think that's his son, though.
21:55
Michael Gandolfini. That's his son, yeah.
22:00
He played in the The Sopranos prequel movie.
22:06
Oh nice, that's probably why it's like.
22:10
Yeah, OK. OK, so yeah, it's his son.
22:15
Didn't realize that ocean that might need you see it too.
22:24
But still, before the season finale, he gets shot in the
22:31
head, passes out done over. And I was like, and they weren't
22:35
going to do that for him. They were going to like leave
22:37
him for the next season and everything, but they they
22:40
actually killed him off. I'm like, oh, damn.
22:42
Well, OK. I mean, you've worked for his
22:44
administration, so you might as well.
22:47
All right, where are we scalpers, man?
22:53
Scalpers are. So Target is working with
22:56
Pokémon and for the Target anniversary and you know, all
23:04
these fucking scalpers are going over there to get this, to get
23:07
the Pokémon stuff off the racks and everything.
23:10
And now Target is issuing all right, two for limit.
23:16
You know, it's like you only get 2, you're going to get this one
23:19
and that one and that's it. It's like, all right, fine.
23:22
But as soon as everything is over with, thank you for the
23:25
hard me. As soon as everything is over
23:27
with, they go ahead and start taking off the shelves.
23:31
They, they go into it, they, they go back to Target and with
23:35
their tools and they start taking off the shelves and, you
23:40
know, all that stuff and the stands and putting it in their
23:43
car and they're selling them all day.
23:46
They're selling this shit on eBay and people are buying this
23:49
like. Stoppers, man.
23:53
And not only that, everything with the Pokémon face on there,
23:59
like I said earlier, they're doing, they're taking the,
24:01
they're taking the Pop Tarts. What the heck?
24:07
What the hell, right? They got the Pop Tarts with the
24:10

30:32
What's the weirdest thing you've ever gotten for Mother's Day?
30:37
Oh my goodness. OK, here we go, Tiffany says.
30:46
Last year my adult kids took me to gun range my first time.
30:50
It was fun and very different from Mother's Day brunch.
30:53
OK? Leanna says.
30:56
Well, as a kid, your other parent obviously bought the real
30:59
gift for you to give. My dad bought her a vacuum.
31:04
I was so excited. She was not.
31:07
I remember after my aunt would take me to pick the gifts out.
31:10
One of my homemade gifts was once was a coupon book.
31:13
But in it was things like I herself don't have to do dishes,
31:18
things like that. She's like, how does this help
31:21
me? There were some free hugs in
31:23
there also, though ones from Brooklyn.
31:26
She got a piece of paper with one single piece of yarn on it.
31:28
I said, happy Mother's Day. Here's a yarn, crochet
31:36
something, crochet something for me.
31:40
LB Lauren, who was in the chat earlier, says Mason brought me a
31:45
piece of paper with a line drawn on it and said with his mouth,
31:49
Happy Mother's Day. I said Oh my gosh, thank you, he
31:54
was too. Boy never finishes things.
31:59
Anne Marie says re gift that I gave to the other mother.
32:02
Damn. Tara Farmer says my son gave me
32:07
a musil shelf filled with glue and beads.
32:10
He was so proud of himself. I still have it on the shelf in
32:12
the living room. Fatal Blossom says my late
32:16
stepdad took my eldest to the store to pick me out.
32:19
Something he chose. He chose a balloon just to come
32:22
home to give to me while he preceded to keep it, play with
32:26
it and pop it. It's his balloon now.
32:32
Like you're for Mother's Day. Here you go.
32:34
Here I get to keep it. Now.
32:37
Sarah Hoagie says I got a ma. I got my mom a propane flame
32:41
thrower gun. Well, damn.
32:48
Well OK, next one was what was the mom is mad sitting on your
32:54
house? Growing up, every household had
32:56
one. The look, the tone, the cleaning
32:58
spree, the silent treatment, the using your full government name
33:01
moment. But what was the universal sign
33:04
that let you know mom is mad and it was officially time to stop
33:08
playing around? Maybe was hearing your name
33:11
yells from across the house. Maybe the dishes started
33:14
clanging louder than usual, or maybe the whole house suddenly
33:17
got too quiet and you knew you were cooked.
33:20
Every kid growing up in the 80s, nineties and early 2000s.
33:22
Remember that moment when the mood shifted and you instantly
33:25
knew to straighten up? So was the mom is mad signal in
33:28
your house growing up? Celeste says.
33:36
I love you. I'll have to deal with
33:37
something. I can come back.
33:38
All right, Lauren. All right, I'll talk to you
33:40
soon, Lauren Celeste, Celeste says, throwing the dishes in the
33:44
sink and Washington with rage. Oh, she pissed, she's pissed,
33:51
she's pissed off. My mom did the same thing.
33:56
Like she wanted you to know what she was doing.
34:01
So she was loud about it. And I even asked the child like,
34:06
So what? Just fucking grab the dishes
34:08
just like throw it in the fucking thing.
34:11
And it's like pissed off. Like dishes that are like, you
34:15
know, that could break. And she threw them on the
34:19
fucking dish on the, on the, in the, in the counter, in the
34:25
saying, and it felt like they were broken.
34:28
But no, once you go over there and it looks like, what the hell
34:35
seems like, how is that? It's like, are you OK?
34:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I said, I've done it.
34:44
Leanna's done it. Haley says silence.
34:48
One day I go, I get home from work and my mom is just fucking
34:53
chilling and I'm just like hey, I'm home.
34:57
And I look at her and I'm just like, you know, usually she says
35:00
hey, you know, hi mijo, how how was day day and blah blah blah.
35:03
So I'm like, I go in there. I go in the kitchen.
35:08
I come back out and like stick my head out.
35:10
I'm like, you OK, Hi, I'm home. Silence.
35:15
Fucking just staring at me like I'm watching TV and I'm just
35:20
like shit, she's pissed off. What the fuck?
35:25
So I'm looking around. Did did I fucking wash the
35:27
dishes? Did I forget something to do
35:30
before I left the house today? What?
35:33
And you know, fucking shit. I was like, why is why is the
35:36
house quiet? Where are my sisters and my
35:39
brother? Like, you know, so I'm just like
35:43
you OK? Doesn't say anything at all.
35:46
So I go into fucking bedrooms. I'm just knocking the doors,
35:49
like, hey, you OK? Yeah.
35:52
Why? Why is mom mad?
35:53
Why do you think she's mad? She's not talking.
35:56
She mad at you. No, she's not mad at me.
35:58
She's mad at you. Like, I don't know.
35:59
And then my brother, still the same thing.
36:01
And we're just like, all right, cool.
36:03
So like, I go outside of the I go out there getting the living
36:06
rooms, like, sit down on the fucking couch with her, you
36:10
know, checking in. I was like, you OK?
36:12
Hi. What's going on?
36:14
Like, shut the fuck up. What the fuck?
36:18
Leave me alone. I'm just, I'm just making sure.
36:24
I was like damn, I forgot to give her money for rent.
36:29
Damn, she's fucking pissed off. And I'm just like oh, OK, don't
36:36
damn. Tell me.
36:37
Tell me what you're mad about. Tell me.
36:39
Use your words, ma. Use your words.
36:46
OK. Eli, right?
36:52
Eli says here in my middle name. Of course.
36:59
Erin says she started cleaning and then there was a comment
37:03
right below that. And who tells your story?
37:06
Radio loud cleaning. And Aaron says yes, radio loud
37:10
cleaning like she's fucking yeah.
37:14
It was pissed off and she cleaned the fucking house,
37:18
little redhead. My mom was a joy.
37:21
Laughing out loud, talking, enjoying her handheld game.
37:26
If she got quiet though and gave you a look, you better figure
37:29
out why. Be on your best behavior.
37:33
But she was just so loving you didn't want to disappoint.
37:35
Mother. Recipe to my mom.
37:38
She passed when I was 19 years old.
37:40
We're sorry Red Leanna says the look and using my middle name
37:45
also on the silent treatment Jackie and says my name dragged
37:50
out way longer than it is. It is long so it's like Jackie
37:55
or Jacqueline Brandon says the rock people eyebrow.
38:03
Oh my mom had to do was this and I knew it was in trouble.
38:07
What was yours? My started the the middle name.
38:14
Nah, she said. Gregory Levance.
38:18
Oh my. God my mom, she just flat out
38:21
cussed your ass out though. She ain't give shit like you too
38:25
sit your ass down right inside of treatment.
38:31
I wouldn't round to her. No slam, no dishes, 'cause I
38:33
ain't carried, no way I'll be in my room.
38:35
So I said she's slamming dishes with everything on my room.
38:37
I have to be on this shit so. Oh my God, my mom was like that.
38:49
But my grandma was like, oh, she's going to fight you.
38:52
You're going to have a fight with her.
38:54
You're like, you're going to get ass fucking fisticuffs with her
38:57
and shit. And not with me, but with my
39:01
cousin, my girl cousin. Because like, you know, she was
39:05
older than me. She was like 19 and shit, like
39:09
if she told you no, your friend can come over, I don't want you
39:12
hanging out with her at all. She meant that.
39:16
So one day we get home and we're in a taxi and we stop a block
39:21
away and we look out at the corner and cousins hanging out
39:27
with her best friend, the one that she didn't want her hanging
39:29
out. Oh, the grandma stories, Grandma
39:34
stories, grandma stories. And so, like, she, she was just
39:39
like hanging out with her best friend.
39:40
I was like the one she thought Grandma told her not to hang out
39:42
with. So she tells the taxi driver,
39:46
stop right there, I'm gonna get out and, you know, jump out.
39:51
She gave me the money to give to the taxi guy.
39:54
And I'm like, what? She like, yeah, just give him
39:57
the money. Like, what are you about to do?
39:59
I'm about to jump out. She also gave me her shoes, her
40:02
kind of class. Yes, yes.
40:06
So the fucking taxi stopped right in front of the girl.
40:09
She opens up the cab and then the girl sees her best fucking
40:13
running. It's like, Oh no you don't.
40:14
She starts running after. Her damn.
40:25
I give the guy the money. I give the guy the money and I'm
40:29
just, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that.
40:31
I apologize. Yeah, OK, no problem.
40:34
No problem. So I I fucking will get out the
40:36
car with the trunkless and everything that we bought that
40:39
day and just go in the house. And all I hear is from one
40:43
corner of the block all the way back home, yelling and screaming
40:47
at my fucking cousin. Everybody in the fucking block
40:50
hurt her and like, oh, there there she goes yelling at her
40:55
kids again. Oh yeah, because she told you
40:58
not to fucking hang out with this girl and you just made her
41:02
order and now she went after the girl she was not supposed to
41:05
hang out with and beat her ass. Come home to beat you her ass
41:09
too, to my cousin. And I'm just sitting there like,
41:20
how was your day, Dale? It's like I always knew never to
41:24
be on her bad side, but I ended up on being on her bad side
41:27
sometimes. And it's like she didn't take it
41:29
out on me. Like, she did it to her.
41:31
Like, yeah, no, But Dale, like, if if my grandma was pissed off
41:37
at you, you'd know she would have fights with you, like, in
41:41
front of everybody. She was back very fucking
41:43
dramatic. As to my mom, like, no, she'd
41:47
just be quiet. Take it all in.
41:52
And finally, what is the most mom saying your mom ever said?
41:59
Let me look for it real quick. Every mom had at least one
42:05
phrase they said so often it became legendary.
42:07
The classic lines, the life lessons, the warnings, the
42:10
saying that somehow every mom on earth seemed to know.
42:13
Maybe it was. I'm not one of your little
42:15
friends. Yep, that's it.
42:19
That's the one. That's that's the one.
42:23
Money doesn't grow on trees. If everybody jumped off a bridge
42:26
when you don't make me come in there.
42:30
Growing up in the 80 nines or early 2000 meant hearing certain
42:33
mom phrases on repeat until they became permanently bring to your
42:36
memory. So what's the most mom singer
42:38
mom ever said? Dropped a quote in the comments
42:40
because chances are somebody else and mom said the exact same
42:42
thing too. All right, so we have Vicki with
42:48
because I said so. Eli says getting mad when I say
42:53
what? Instead of going to the room
42:55
when she's in, she's in when my name is called Eli.
42:59
What? Eli what?
43:08
Eli? It was like, Oh yes, mom, what?
43:10
Oh, there you fucking are, Mordecai saying her whole name.
43:17
Not more more, not more Tisha's name, but more Tisha's mom's
43:21
full name. I was like, huh, that one RT
43:32
Leanna says I brought you into this world, I can take you out.
43:35
Oh my damn. Yeah, that one.
43:39
RT says just because of the state of Wisconsin thinks you
43:41
can drive I doesn't mean I do. To which she also says she also
43:47
worked for the DMV too. Eli again says we have food at
43:53
home but I'm hungry now. This is what I said but I'm
44:01
hungry now. I was like, you're not going to
44:03
die, what the fuck? I'm hungry right now.
44:12
You're not going to die. You're fine.
44:14
You'll be fine. There are.
44:15
There are kids in Africa, Menace says You want an uncle sandwich?
44:25
Oh God, Anne Marie says that's not for me.
44:34
Yep, that's your dad. She said it to herself
44:38
continuously also guess my mom's curse where it constantly tell
44:42
me, I hope you want, I hope you have one just like basically she
44:50
said that's not for me. You got it from your dad.
44:55
Megalomom Shark says mom does not stand for made of money.
45:03
Oh shit, Amber Lynn says Because I said so that's why.
45:07
Do as I say, not as I do. I brought you into this world, I
45:10
can take you out of it. Oh my God, so many lala Gunning
45:17
says keep on testing me, you're going to find out I'm not
45:19
playing. Holy shit, Gibby Jean says.
45:25
Do it again and see what happens.
45:26
And I'm so glad they never tested that because I don't know
45:29
what comes next. Viana Lavoie says if I find it
45:33
and again, like mine, it's always like, but you know, I
45:38
looked everywhere and then she finds it smashed me.
45:41
Over the head and says. I found it and then I say, where
45:46
was it? It's like the same spot I told
45:47
you at, like what the icky 1O150 says.
45:55
That's what you're wearing. Always, always.
46:02
And Claire Kim says if you don't stop crying, I'll give you
46:04
something to cry about. Oh shit.
46:11
Any of yours? Some.
46:13
That's what I already said though.
46:16
Yeah, yeah. So I got us.
46:20
Those were like, yeah, those were.
46:26
It's like, she would always tell me these things too.
46:28
I was like, if it's over there, go look for it.
46:30
Like where? It's over there.
46:32
Where over there? Like look under the dresser.
46:35
It's like, alright, nothing there.
46:37
If I find it, I'm gonna slap you like, alright, so I fucking.
46:42
She finds it, smacks me over the head and says, see, I told you
46:45
where it was. It's like, where was it?
46:48
On top of the not, not, not near the dresser at all.
46:54
On top of it over the sink. And I'm just like, see, it's
46:58
like, I bet it was in the same plot.
46:59
All right, fine. And then we finally have the
47:04
movie scene that absolutely traumatize you.
47:06
We're not going to say what it is because it was like, there's
47:08
so many fucking things in there that people added more to it.
47:12
Last night it was at 66 point 8K news.
47:20
Yeah, today, right now is at 70.7 K.
47:27
That's what's up, bro. That is crazy, bro.
47:32
That is the craziest thing ever right now.
47:34
And I'm just like, I appreciate that.
47:36
You know about Elena's AI thing, right?
47:41
Yeah. She did one with me.
47:44
She sent me one. And I'm like, I don't know what
47:47
I'm doing. So, you know, I don't know what
47:50
you want me to do. So I like set up and everything,
47:53
but I was like, oh, you're supposed to like, describe what
47:56
you're going to want to happen and everything.
47:58
Like, yeah, I don't have time for that.
48:00
She does, apparently. Like, yeah, I don't.
48:03
I don't. I don't.
48:06
Let me, let me take care of it. So I'm like, so I'm like, I
48:14
know. That's why I was like trying to,
48:16
that's why I'm bringing it up because you had, you always have
48:19
the stands about AI and all this shit.
48:22
Yeah. I know, tell him why.
48:28
Yeah, but what? Watch something that too?
48:30

And there's more updates for the sequel.
54:25
It doesn't say when it's going to come out, but you know,
54:28
fucking I'm excited for it. And then that's it.
54:40
That's what we got. We're going to play a new game.
54:45
It's called with this 80s or 90s sitcom trope fly today, it's
54:51
time for one of our favorite new sections.
54:53
The more you think about old sitcom from the 80s and 90's,
54:55
the more you realize television was absolutely unhinged
54:58
sometimes. And I'm not not we're not
55:01
talking about the normal sitcom stuff.
55:03
The kind of episode where you'd be laughing one minute and then
55:06
suddenly somebody's joining a cult, bringing a gun to school,
55:09
getting trapped in the refrigerator, or learning a
55:11
lesson, a life lesson to a nervous breakdown in a very
55:14
intense piano soundtrack. Back then, sitcoms used to have
55:18
huge swings. They tackled addiction,
55:21
bullying, eating disorders, abuse, kidnappings, peer
55:24
pressure, stereotype and trauma. And somehow they still squeeze
55:28
in the laugh track before the commercial break.
55:30
So here's how this is going to work.
55:32
I'm going to describe the storyline only.
55:35
No character names, no show titled, no hints.
55:40
We're all going to ask the same question.
55:42
Would this fly today? After we debated, I'll reveal
55:46
what show it came from, the season episode, and what
55:48
happened by the end of that story.
55:51
Because some of these plots sound completely made-up until
55:54
you realize, Oh no, this actually aired at 8:00 PM on
55:57
network television. OK, let me check for the monitor
56:02
because I'm worried #1A teenage girl becomes obsessed with
56:13
losing weight before a pool party.
56:15
Instead of eating the actual meals, she survived mostly on
56:17
ice cubes and crash dieting until she nearly passes out from
56:20
exhaustion. Would this fly today?
56:29
Basically the body image dysmorphia and all that stuff.
56:35
Like yeah, that's random. We people have a problem with
56:38
it. Oh, no, you can't be showing
56:40
that. Yeah.
56:46
It's like she survived mostly on ice cubes and crash dieting.
56:53
That's like something from Euphoria like literally that's
56:59
something from euphoria. Well, she like HBO.
57:03
There you go or do that instead. The reveal the show was full
57:09
house season 4 episode 8 shape up D JS family realized that
57:16
she's starving herself and stepped in before seeing get
57:18
worse. The episode ends with a lesson
57:20
about body image software and healthy pressure on teenage
57:23
girls and the violin. The violin.
57:27
Also, everywhere you look #2A teenager struggling emotionally
57:37
gets pulled into a suspicious self help organization that I
57:40
slowly isolates him from his friends and family while
57:43
convincing him they're the only people who truly understands
57:46
him. They could probably get away
57:47
with this shit. Though, so it's a cult with this
57:49
fly today. Yeah, I already know what show
57:57
it is too. Like, I've seen what?
58:00
Yeah, I've seen some stuff. Yeah.
58:07
Boy Meets World season 4 episode 21 cult fiction.
58:11
This is a hug Sean. This is a hug Sean's for
58:15
hunters. Friends and mentor intervene,
58:17
helping him realize the group is manipulating him emotionally.
58:21
The upload becomes one of the series most memorable series
58:24
storylines. Dang, and.
58:26
It's the last. Dang, you're right.
58:28
Of. Dang, how I feel like a
58:30
motherfucker. Hey, yeah.
58:35
It's like he's like, no, he's not.
58:40
It's like he's in a coma. No, he's not in a coma.
58:42
He's just like in the last time we ever see him, Mr. Turner.
58:48
Like, when do we see him again? Grow me this world fucking 20
58:55
years later #3 A student secretly brings a gun to school
59:01
after being bullied and humiliated by classmates.
59:03
The situation escalates to another student who discovers a
59:07
weapon in his backpack. Would that fly today?
59:10
You know, making them experience like kids.
59:16
So like, you know what these are?
59:18
That's the fun part. I know what you're talking
59:21
about. The way they made it seem like,
59:32
Oh no, it's like this is the like the you can't miss watching
59:37
this episode because it happens in real life and it doesn't, it
59:40

59:42
So. Oh no, Jacket stupid ain't me.
59:51
Oh my God. The show with Family Matters
1:00:06
season 5 episode 16 good cop, bad cop.
1:00:12
The students talk him down before violence happens.
1:00:14
The episode focuses on bullying, fear, and the constable.
1:00:16
To bring the gun. In the and then put your weapon
1:00:21
on this fucking they. Did nobody get arrested though?
1:00:25
When they turn the gun, it was. Like who?

1:00:33
Little boy made Little boy made a.
1:00:35
Gun, but still nobody gets arrested.
1:00:38
Earth will look stupid in a motherfucker up there.
1:00:40
Like, like, come on. OK #4 this is a tough one tackle
1:00:56
A teenage overachiever becomes addicted to stimulant pills.
1:01:05
While trying to balance academic activities and pressure to
1:01:09
succeed, eventually she breaks down dramatically while trying
1:01:13
to rehearse for her performance. When?
1:01:16
This fly. But it'll be it'll be
1:01:20
ridiculous. No constitutional.
1:01:22
Euphoria. It would.
1:01:25
I'm so excited. I'm so excited, yeah.
1:01:37
Oh my God. I know X, are you scared?
1:01:42
Will you look back at it? I said.
1:01:43
This is the most ridiculous shit.
1:01:44
Ever. I'm scared.
1:01:53
I like that. That's when I was young, 10.
1:01:55
Years old. I'm just Oh my God.
1:01:57
I hope she's OK. I was caffeine.
1:02:03
Caffeine, Peter. Over pit over over freaking
1:02:08
caffeine pills. Jess, where are your?
1:02:10
Daughters caffeine pills five more hours.
1:02:13
Oh my God, it's. Like that's something we do now.
1:02:16
Oh yeah, years later they named it fucking stackers.
1:02:27
Here's just like, oh, I have an idea and involved from Saved by
1:02:32
the Bell Season 2 episode 9 Jessie song.
1:02:34
You know what that crapping pill that she takes?
1:02:36
Yeah, let's do that and actually let them buy it.
1:02:40
Not over the counter stuff, but over like on the stores.
1:02:43
We yeah, fucking wrestling about it, fucking pressing promote it
1:02:51
because that's what they did. Stackers.
1:02:53
Get your stackers now. And I did that because like, you
1:02:58
know it, wrestling. Wrestling told me I should take
1:03:00
stackers if I wanted to be up all day and I did.
1:03:03
And fucking lo and behold, I used them at work and like I was
1:03:07
all over the place. OK outcome.
1:03:13
Her friend confronts her about the pills and encourage her to
1:03:15
slow down before burning herself out.
1:03:16
I. Was going to find their sound
1:03:17
and do this she's. So excited episode, I know.
1:03:22
It's I know it's on there. I know it's on there.
1:03:25
We got to be on. We got to be on that.
1:03:29
I'm so it's on there, it's on, it's on there.
1:03:36
Which was this? A family discovers their child
1:03:39
has been spending time at a creepy local business where the
1:03:42
owner has been manipulating. Kids with gifts and special.
1:03:45
Attention to gain their trust. And that wouldn't fly today.
1:03:49
Like oh shit. Different strokes.
1:04:04
Yeah, yeah. Season 5, episodes 16 and 17
1:04:09
because it was a. Two-part, yeah.
1:04:11
But you know, shit was serious because it was a two-part
1:04:13
episode to be continued and then 17.
1:04:17
We have to watch it. The bicycle Man.
1:04:23
The adult intervened before the situation escalates further.
1:04:26
The episode became infamous for how shockingly dark and
1:04:29
seriously was compared to typical sitcom television of
1:04:31
time. So big Christian.
1:04:36
Cliffhanger, though. No, it was like, I don't even
1:04:51
remember if like they. Didn't keep me in the first
1:04:54
episode 17 see you this was didn't end up playing song with
1:05:03
Pedro. Oh my God.
1:05:11
Previously on Different Strokes number six, a teenage boy gets
1:05:19
caught up with a group of older kids who pressure him into
1:05:21
drinking alcohol at a party with stars as trying to fit in
1:05:25
spirals in the dangerous night where they he ends up drunk
1:05:28
behind the wheel of a car. I might not even remember this
1:05:31
one. Hold on, what?
1:05:33
Was that, I mean, that's huh. I was like that that that is
1:05:42
like a totally that all this stuff is on HBO.
1:05:48
Oh, this stuff is on HBO. Like, yeah, it would fly, but
1:05:51
not on television, television, cable TV.
1:05:53
It's like you have to go to HBO to watch this or the stream it.
1:05:58
The show was Growing Pains Season 6, episode 9, Feet of
1:06:02
Clay, the characters forced to confront how quickly peer
1:06:06
pressure and security can turn dangerous.
1:06:08
The episode ends with a serious conversation about drinking,
1:06:10
responsibility and consequences. This is the part even on I'll
1:06:16
see, but about this is a part where they break character and
1:06:19
they come back at the very end of the episode and come out.
1:06:23
Not as being drunk. Characters, but as themselves.
1:06:26
It's like we're not talking. About, you know, anybody that
1:06:28
has problems, it's kind of 100, stop drinking.
1:06:31
Drinking and drug say no, stop drinking.
1:06:42
It's a serious issue. What was it say by the Ross?
1:06:47
Stupid, dumb no. Damn, no.
1:06:57
You better listen. At the end, you better listen.
1:06:59
At the end, what's going on here?
1:07:02
Take a bite out. Of.
1:07:09
Oh my God #7 yeah, OK, fine. A lonely child finds comfort in
1:07:19
talking to a ventriloquist dummy that slowly becomes more
1:07:23
controlling and emotionally manipulative.
1:07:26
The situation becomes so upsetting that the family begins
1:07:28
worrying about the child's mental health.
1:07:34
This is stupid. Alf season 4 episode 18.
1:07:38
OK, too big for the break. Fucking front of them.
1:07:41
So they had the episode where the little boy was fucking with
1:07:43
you but yet y'all got a fucking muppet in the fucking house
1:07:49
talking. What the fuck going on?
1:07:56
Oh man. The episode eventually reveals
1:08:06
the emotional attachment came from loneliness and isolation,
1:08:09
but honestly, the creepy dummy energy lingers long after the
1:08:12
credits. It was #8 OK #8 A woman in an
1:08:18
abusive relationship keeps making excuses for her
1:08:20
boyfriend's violent behavior until her family finally
1:08:23
witnesses the bruises and realizes how scared the
1:08:25
situation has become. It would fly, like, teach us a
1:08:32
lesson about domestic abuse and everything.
1:08:34
Oh yeah, the reveal. The show was Roseanne.
1:08:41
Yeah, he'd be to do that. Season 5, Episode 13, Crime and
1:08:43
Punishment. Dan takes care of it.
1:08:49
No, he did. That's what.
1:08:53
Yeah, he did. I was like, is the Copner
1:08:56
coming? It's for me.
1:08:57
It's fine. Her family confronts the abuser
1:09:01
directly and supports her to her leaving the relationship, not
1:09:06
her family. Just.
1:09:06
Dan does the episode with praise for treating domestic violence
1:09:09
seriously instead of turning it into sitcom comedy.
1:09:12
That was like the. Oh my God, did you watch that
1:09:16
episode? Yeah.
1:09:19
I was like, see mom, you need help.
1:09:24
Whatever. #9 A child becomes trapped inside an abandoned
1:09:29
refrigerator. I already know God.
1:09:42
Leading to panic when nobody can find them for hours, that is.
1:09:47
That was another To Be Continued episode that we saw.
1:09:50
We were going to get in like To be continued.
1:09:51
I was like, Oh my God, no. But it was only one episode.
1:09:57
It would fly today. It would teaches a lesson by
1:09:59
don't keep. The Saints, because then you'd
1:10:01
be on jacket. Fucking I swear.
1:10:11
The show. I don't know why I watched this,
1:10:17
but it was funny to me. The show was Punky Brewster
1:10:22
Season 2, episode 9 Sherry lifesaver.
1:10:29
The outcome? The child is rescued in time.
1:10:31
It's nothing going to happen. It's just cold inside.
1:10:34
Yeah, episode end. It's just cold inside.
1:10:38
You're not going to die. And the episode ends with a
1:10:40
direct warning is about the dangers of abandoned appliances.
1:10:45
Oh my God. Entire generation still remember
1:10:47
this episode lately. Yeah, abandoned fuck and
1:10:50
refrigerator. Just don't, don't do it.
1:10:54
Magnets work, people. Come on, magnets and filing #10
1:11:00
what was this? I can't say the word, but here
1:11:04
we go. A man pretends to be Tinkerbell
1:11:07
in order to avoid suspicion and maintain his living arrangement
1:11:10
with two women, leading to constant misunderstanding,
1:11:13
stereotypes and awkward situations build entirely around
1:11:15
keeping up the lie. It would not fly today.
1:11:18
People would be upset. Like, how dare you make him
1:11:22
pretend that he is? Yeah, it wouldn't.
1:11:26
It wouldn't fly at all. Especially living with two
1:11:31
women. He's taking advantage of the two
1:11:33
women because he wants to sleep with them.
1:11:36
He's only doing it because he wants to sleep with them.
1:11:40
He's a chef. Oh, even worse.
1:11:42
Like no, he he's like male chauvinistic pig and I'll.
1:11:47
Dare. You for those of you that don't
1:11:51
know, the show was 3's company that entire 5-6 seasons of him
1:11:57
pretending to be that just so he could live there and just said
1:12:00
that the tenant, the landlords could let him stay there.
1:12:06
And then at the finally the last episode he comes out and says
1:12:09
I'm not, I'm, I'm straight, yay. I've been, I've been, you know,
1:12:17
lying this whole time. Three's company multiple
1:12:22
episodes throughout the series, beginning with season 1 episode
1:12:24
one man about the house. The misunderstanding becomes the
1:12:27
core premise on the entire sitcom.
1:12:29
The character continuously scrambles to maintain the ACT
1:12:31
while navigating increasing ridiculous situation and social
1:12:33
misunderstandings. Yeah, this fact that.
1:12:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it the Ropers?
1:12:44
Mr. Roper calls him Tinker. Yeah, yeah, like.
1:12:48
I liked him better than fucking Don Knotts.
1:12:51
Don Knotts felt like he was overreacting.
1:12:56
He was like, but, you know, Suzanne Somers left, you know,
1:13:04
we get the cousin. It's like that whole like the
1:13:06
first, the first few seasons, yeah.
1:13:09
I would, I love it. Like after rewatching it and
1:13:13
like oh shit this shit sucks now.
1:13:16
Like who are you? Shit sucks man.
1:13:19
I hate it. But yeah, like that whole
1:13:24
situation would not fly today at all.
1:13:27
Old sitcoms weren't afraid to suddenly become after school
1:13:30
specials, psychological thrillers, social commentary,
1:13:33
accidental nightmare fuel, all while still using the same
1:13:36
opening. Detail from the fucking.
1:13:39
Just. One draw.
1:13:40
Different strokes. Previously on Different strokes.
1:13:49
Well, I got to go there to the stove, get go to get my train.
1:13:53
Got kidnapped but here I'm. Gonna tell Dad.
1:13:55
I'm gonna tell Dad when you get home.
1:13:59
Now. Part 2 of Different strokes.
1:14:09
Shit I'm around for like, you know.
1:14:23
The unpredictability is part of why we still remember them
1:14:25
decades later. Half the time.
1:14:27
We all knew something, someone going through it, too.
1:14:30
Back then, these episodes were marked, like tonight, on a
1:14:33
deeply disturbing emotional experience.
1:14:36
Yeah. Yeah.
1:14:37
They just air right between a goofy commercial.
1:14:40
The TGIF lined up like everything was normal.
1:14:44
I was like oh shit this is fucking serious.
1:14:46
Oh my bad, OK. And somehow we all collectively.
1:14:49
Survived, I know half. Oh man.
1:14:53
Damn, that was. Fun.
1:14:57
God man, I want to do too much shit.
1:15:05
I know, I know, right? It's like we're, we, we, we go
1:15:11
through this shit. Oh, man.
1:15:20
Alright. Anything else you got going on
1:15:25
this week? You said you wanted we wanted
1:15:29
to. Do it.
1:15:30
Just just send it to me and we can definitely do that.
1:15:34
It's going to be the the Swan sound for me as I do these with
1:15:38
you. I ain't doing that shit no more
1:15:44
then we going, we're going to kill it one last time.
1:15:47
It's going to be the there's going to be the the last dance,
1:15:51
last ride. And the Alberta supporters won't
1:15:58
be mad, motherfucker. One more match, brother.
1:16:13
One more match, one more New Kids on the Block.
1:16:17
You know, Yeah, 'cause I'm, I like New Kids on the block and I
1:16:20
ain't gonna refuse nobody who asked me to do no kids on the
1:16:22
block. When does Mortal Kombat come
1:16:23
out? Already came out in May 8th.
1:16:25
Oh shit. Well damn, we'll do it next time
1:16:31
then. Like I I have to go.
1:16:33
I think I already got them, but I like I have to go through
1:16:36
watch them again and then like, hey, right before you watch
1:16:43
Mortal Kombat, watch this. 1st. OK, you ready to go?
1:16:52
All right. And just like that, another
1:16:54
night on the porch here at my Third place comes to a close.
1:16:58
Tonight really was the mother of all episodes, from the top five
1:17:02
sitcom mom debates to the Mother's Day gift stories that
1:17:05
range from heartfelt to completely chaotic to all those
1:17:09
universal mom moments we somehow all experience growing up.
1:17:12
The look, the phrases, the signals that told you instantly
1:17:15
whether you were about to get in trouble or not.
1:17:18
Tonight was a reminder that moms come in a lot of different
1:17:21
forms. So before we head out, we want
1:17:25
to say one more time. Happy Mother's Day to the moms,
1:17:29
the grandmas, the aunties who stepped up like a second mother,
1:17:33
the girlfriends and wives becoming stepmoms and gaining
1:17:35
bonus kiss to love and guide. The older sisters who had to
1:17:38
grow up a little too fast and help raise their brothers and
1:17:41
sisters while mom worked long hours trying to make ends meet.
1:17:44
You all deserve to be recognized.
1:17:46
You deserve to feel appreciated, valued and celebrated.
1:17:51
Because a lot of us became who we are today.
1:17:53
Because someone chose to care for us, protect us, encourage
1:17:56
us, or sacrifice for us when they didn't have to.
1:18:00
And that matters as we start getting closer to summer.
1:18:03
It also feels like the perfect time for nostalgia podcast like
1:18:06
ours to start revisiting one of the most specific feelings
1:18:10
growing up. Those final weeks before summer
1:18:13
vacation officially began. That weird stretch of time where
1:18:17
school was almost over, the weather started changing, and
1:18:21
everybody felt like they were standing on the edge of
1:18:23
something. So over the next few weeks,
1:18:26
we're going to start digging into those memories.
1:18:28
Did your school have an epic senior prank?
1:18:31
Did you participate in Legendary Skip Day?
1:18:35
And when graduation night finally arrived, how did you
1:18:37
celebrate? Because every generation seems
1:18:40
to have at least one story from that era of life.
1:18:43
And of course, we can't forget the pop culture side of it too.
1:18:47
Back then, when your favorite TV show ended on a cliffhanger
1:18:50
before summer break, that was it.
1:18:52
No instant renewal announcements.
1:18:54
No social media confirmations the next morning.
1:18:57
You just have to sit there for weeks or sometimes months, not
1:19:00
knowing if your favorite show was even coming back.
1:19:03
And somehow that made those finales hit even harder.
1:19:08
All those conversations are waiting for us in the weeks
1:19:10
ahead as we slowly start bringing in the summer vibes
1:19:12
here on the porch. All right, before we really go,
1:19:17
take a breath with me. Hold on to the memories that
1:19:19
made you smile at night. Text your mom, call your auntie,
1:19:23
check in on somebody who upgrades you and thank you for
1:19:27
spending this time here at my third place.
1:19:30
Not home, not work, just a space where we show up, tell stories
1:19:34
and leave the porch light on for whoever needs it.
1:19:36
Take care of each other, take care of yourself.
1:19:39
This is the MTV podcast where community, creativity and moms
1:19:44
always giving you the look always have a seat on the porch.
1:19:49
I'm a wish I had a mother's Happy Mother's Day y'all the
1:19:53
foundation, you know, I'm saying we, we appreciate y'all and we
1:19:59

1:20:17

1:20:19

1:20:21

1:20:27

1:20:30

1:20:32
See y'all later everybody, goodbye.
