My name is Mike Bloom. I am joined, as always, by Sasha Joseph. Sasha, how's it going?
So ready. I need my fix. So we had to get things moving today. Okay. I'm, I'm ready to be
here. Well, the person we're talking with today knows a thing or two about needing a fix and.
Oh, come on. Low hanging fruit, Mike. Geez. Well, we are, we have come to the tree of Hannah Rose
for all types of fruit as we are going to talk about her taste in scripted television.
So happy to have you here, Hannah. How are you?
So glad to be here. So pumped.
Anyone that knows me knows that my love language is watching shows with the person I'm dating or in this case married to.
So this is great.
Was there a connecting show between you and your now husband which we should say congrats on
your recent wedding yes thank you so much i know i'm like i might have lost lost i might have quit
survivor in this completely embarrassing way but someone loves me and that's important um yeah i
think for me a big test in the relationship was are you willing to watch all seasons of lost with me because lost
here's a lot is like one of my favorite shows of all time and he said yes and so we proceeded to
watch every show that i am like obsessed with in a row and i was like okay this could work
he's him i love it he's him he's your constant oh what a great what a great reference well yeah we need to talk about this
because hannah when you and i met in person last fall you showed this up to me and it was really
you know talking about not mistaking coincidence for fate i mean as someone who is a devout follower
of lost talking about it uh you know ad infinitum alongside josh wiggler talk to me about when you got into the
show and what got you into the show oh my god i don't even remember how old i was i'm pretty sure
it was on tv so it was like week to week waiting period i remember that about lost and about gray's
anatomy and the oc those are like yeah millennial up in this bitch so lost and honestly i do think
subconsciously my love and affinity for lost is why I was like
I have to go to the island and even now I'm sometimes like I have to go back even though
I don't want to go back um because like being ruined on an island is so losty and I know that
Charlie from law or yeah Charlie from lost is a survivor fan and I was like I need him to know
that I exist so I just i loved everything about
it i mean the psychology the challenges of surviving ironic and everything about it and
there are naysayers who shit on the ending and to them i say you just don't have the capacity
to hold the space for this show say it again say it louder do you have any favorite characters any consistent ones because
also as a therapist i would imagine like all these people have issues out the wazoo that must be so
fun to analyze yeah i mean re-watching it as an adult like after clinical training there's when
i was teaching at college i was teaching abnormal psych what i had them do for their main project
was watch a show and diagnose a character and write up a whole case conceptualization. So they
loved it. And I loved it because I was like shows like I love shows. Um, so not pathologizing any
of them. I mean, such a basic bitch here. I love Sawyer. I mean, if I were to bear children,
which I don't want to, I would name it Sawyer or Juliet oh okay I mean I knew it at first
but yeah Sawyer Charlie I mean I was like a budding drug addict sober 13 years and you know
so Charlie and his whole like let me let me do heroin in the airplane bathroom I was like yeah
before I ever even like drank but still it resonated
I'm obsessed with you
this is so funny because for me obviously it was Saeed but you know representation minimal
for us Indians so here or South Asians so here we are also Saeed is just objectively
daddy I'm like you can well yeah you want to
pull a nail or two off like go right ahead that that's the zaddy calendar right there
i mean that's the thing is that lost was you know despite it groundbreaking everything it was a show
on broadcast television in the early 2000s like there were plenty of men to make that zaddy
calendar you've got desmond as well pulling off like the man bun look.
I, my favorite episode of the whole series is The Constant.
Of course.
And in my, I don't know if you remember that on Facebook,
there used to be like an about me place.
And I would put quotes because like emo girl.
And I put the letter that Penny wrote Desmond.
And that was in my about me on Facebook.
So I was like, oh, i'm giving myself chills i love shows
where and it wasn't even in the like you know when people wrote the notes like that whole section
that they took out oh yeah but no it's legitimately in the center yeah yeah i over identify with
characters shows are my life i mean so yeah I think there
was something to it like with going on Survivor like I'm gonna be a character now and then it
was like oh no well so you talk about you know living through shows what is the first show you
remember that you were like really really into the OC oh yeah the Yeah. The OC. Um, my, I had older sisters and so they were really into it.
I remember being really into the OC week to week. And also I think I was 16 when I started
Grey's Anatomy like on TV. And I actually, when I went to college declared pre-med
again, delusional, maybe she is like it's giving delusional um i declared pre-med because of
and scrubs i was like shut up oh my god so which character on grays has like like
had this profound impact or was it just i love sex in break rooms sex and break rooms was i a virgin at six no i wasn't oh gross um sorry world but
whatever i think that's pretty i love it um but yeah i think you know obviously mayor her whole
i mean i literally quoted her in some of my survivor pregame interviews because i
regrettably called kendra a pick-me girl. Which is a Grey's Anatomy reference.
Wait, pick-mes are a Grey's Anatomy reference?
Yup.
Meredith Grey says Derek Shepard,
so pick me, choose me.
And it's the origination of the pick-me girl.
Correct.
I'm still learning things about Grey's Anatomy
every day I exist on this earth, it seems.
I have no idea.
Hannah, we did a whole episode someone oh you did yeah we did a whole episode where Kelly Kelly Wentworth and I went through each and every like ridiculous um you know whatever
ridiculous plot line and we didn't even make it i think we stopped at the shooting but that was the hour basically trauma we went through it with mike and that was mike's face to hold yeah i mean it's
pretty profound i will say as someone who has been present for a shooting weird fun fact about me
right before we moved to ashville north carolina which is where i live now we lived in baltimore
city and we went to go see the hunger games prequel,
which was fire. And as soon as the movie ended,
catching fire was the second one.
I mean, obviously, but like, if I need a hunger games fix,
I'll go for that daddy president snow as a youth. Whoa.
Oh yes. Okay. Attracted to him. And, um, and yeah, anyway,
there was a shooting and it was like super traumatic.
It was this whole thing. And then we were like, we're moving. And we did,
I will say the Grey's Anatomy shooting double episode was more traumatic.
Yeah. Wow. Wow. I can't even, I,
I beg that most people can't relate. Yeah. Yeah.
I like that is so American. I'm embarrassed'm embarrassed i know just casually at a shooting
no one died so i can like kind of joke about it um so that's something but yeah those episodes
the introduction of mick steamy which is really disturbing watching him in euphoria
oh i didn't even i don't watch euphoria. Well, his character is unwell. Is he a teacher?
He's like a pedophilic character.
Yeah, like disgusting older man
being a predator for trans women.
Yeah, it was so, and I was like,
McSteamy, no, like you are no longer a sexual fantasy.
I don't.
Oh, they killed you for a reason.
I mean, yeah, we talked about this last week with danny from the amazing race like i just don't understand
look a gig is a gig but if you're that actor that's like i'm known for being a heartthrob
you know what will really get people on my side if i play this creepo depot really show off my
range like i know there's a cost benefit analysis that needs to be done with that i know i guess i
guess it's an actor and it's your craft right and it's your work and your vocation like he did such a
phenomenal job because it's so cringy but anyway it really he fell from grace for me so now if I
were to watch grace I'm like he's hot but he's sick wow yeah oh my I'm trying to think because
I feel like the Harryter kids like went on this
weird thing as well right where they were like oh we have to break out a harry like our roles
so we must do something totally outrageous yeah daniel radcliffe had his dick out on broadway
exactly what i was thinking i was like like it's outrageous. And poor Daniel Radcliffe also was battling a lot of stuff on set on the last.
Alcoholism.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Representation.
So it's crazy.
Yeah.
So that's what I think of is like, I just I think there is there must be some bridge
that doesn't actually make sense.
And maybe folks shouldn't cross, but they do.
They do. And I still love them for it you know because they are people at the end of the day there's some sort of
need within them whether it's the need to like show themselves in one way or a very different way
yeah yeah 100 anyway all good shows grays 10 out of. Well, I don't think you're the only person, though, that probably got more into the medical professional world
as a result of Grey's Anatomy.
And you're also probably not the only person to be like,
oh, this isn't like the way it's shown on TV.
Because I think, yes, it was the early 2000s.
The medium had been around for a while.
But still, I mean, it kind of romanticizes it a little bit.
Absolutely.
Like, you don't. it's like Survivor.
This is how like traumatized I am by my three day experience.
I'm like, everything comes back to Survivor.
So sorry.
I know it's like also Survivor podcast.
This one isn't.
But yeah, it's like you watch it on TV and there are these characters and you're like,
I could do that.
I mean, that's what I did with going pre-med.
And that's what I did with going on Survivor.
And when I watched Quantico the ABC show yes um yeah for the FBI no you okay now say no you
must say no like something's wrong with me my husband and I both did at the time this was like
five or six years ago and I was working as a counselor at a treatment center and yeah I just
like applied for the FBI and got an interview what was it and yeah i just like applied for the fbi and got an interview
what was it well it's just like a questionnaire and you know no i meant sorry that like attracted
you yeah to someone right it's like hot people in boot camp and then being detectives we just
finished binging re-binging all eight seasons of homeland are you one of the greatest shows of all time and i said to him should we become like
detectives and like maybe go to the cia and he was like something is deeply wrong with you but yes
but sure sign me up i'm intrigued though what you're talking about with the application process
this sounds like the jeopardy test like your fellow season 45 cast members just like yeah
fill this out if you pass enough questions you move on to the next round.
Yes. I mean, Survivor, same thing.
It's like a 30 second video.
And if you're funny or like, in my case, wearing Invisalign and then taking it out in the middle of the thing.
Oh, you're so authentic.
We should cast you.
But I see why.
Like this is the stuff that I think gets people cast.
You know, is that when they're like
i watched conico and i decided i could do it yeah should maybe be a red flag maybe no i mean
for you as your yes and your growth correct but i think unfortunately for us sick viewers
that like to see you know almost naked starving people on an island yeah I do love
when they suffer I love it I really hope just as a side note Andy finds the yellow tribes
immunity idol just because chaos will ensue I'm like period period I love being on my couch with
food watching survivor there's nothing better well you mentioned greys
you mentioned quantico are you really into a lot of those procedural shows or more the those more
the exception than the rule i like a little bit of everything i'm a scripted show bitch i mean
but like there are some serial killer procedurals like the fall the killing i mean 10 out of 10 i have a list of shows to watch next and then shows
to re-watch like 24 is on there um yeah i do i do love that i don't listen to or watch true crime
but i watch a lot of crime shows but i also love like bridgerton and anything that shonda rhimes
touches that's true okay give me your bridgerton thoughts, because this is something that Sasha and I both have seen.
Period. Interesting.
Okay, when season one first came
out, loved it, was like,
am I in heat? Like, this was that
after? Yeah.
Like, Sean, Regé, Paul,
or whatever his beautiful name is.
I was like, I am
monogamous, but I would make an exception.
You know, like, I was, holy shit, I just loved everything about it.
And I loved the period piece of it.
I just loved it.
Season two, loved.
Queen Charlotte, gobbled it up.
Actually, someone who works on Survivor, like as a tech who I'm very close with, was like, you need to watch this.
And I was like sobbing watching it, texting her.
And it was like this beautiful thing.
The last season, haven't even finished it.
And I think I kind of ruined it for myself
because I forced my husband to watch Bridgerton season one
as I do.
I'm like, I liked it.
We need to watch it together now.
And re-watching season one a few years later,
I was kind of like, I don't love it.
Like this isn't doing it for me anymore.
And I don't know what changed.
No, I think according to me, at least how I feel,
because I didn't read the books.
I just watched the show and I was like, oh, this is hot.
This is cute.
He like, Duke, please, you know, when like call me, right?
Also, I'm also monogamous, but reality and fiction.
So anyway, I was watching it.
And then I watched it with my husband,
or rather, sorry, I was watching.
And then my husband is like, what are you, what,
is this porn?
Like, what's going on, ma'am?
Why are you like daylight?
What's going on?
And I was like, no, this is, you know,
a show you should watch with me
like you know trying to bond and then he ruined it a little bit because he was pointing every plot
hole um as to what Daphne was doing so that happened and then I read the second book and I
said oh actually she was that this is a child like Daphne Almore and it felt like she was just a little bit a lot a bit um unaware of said world
because the second book you're like oh this is hot because they're both consenting yeah they're
both into it and you know the will they won't they and friends to enemies is what or enemies
to lovers is what is my favorite so that's when i realized why i didn't really like the second
yeah i completely agree with that yeah yeah i think i think it's also the the line from season
three that stands out right with like the featherington dotting sisters being like
put what where like that was daphne's mo for the first season of correct this is how this works and
like there is a little bit of romantic aspect to it and maybe
it's just because of the chemistry of the actors but yeah when you look at it from more of an
outsider perspective it's like oh there's a lot more education here than there is any sort of uh
equal dynamic for sure and also like so i'm a big reader as well and i was thinking about reading
them and i'm like an avid goodreads user. Like I review every book and I, whatever. I'm like very, I'm a big reader.
And I went to look at the Bridgerton ones and the Goodreads reviews on the
Daphne Duke one are like outrage because of rape.
Because when she is like sitting on him, like, no, no,
I don't want to, you know, bust a nut in you can i say that
on this show you did fine you already did like no that nut is busted and that nut busted and
and anyway so the readers were like this is not okay and i was like i didn't even think about
that when i was watching it i was just like aha she's gonna have a baby yeah no of course yeah I immediately we are in another life
podcasted about Bridgerton and yeah that the reviews were low-key coming after us because
we were like no this is not okay just because he's like attractive and your husband that you
can't do stuff like this so no I'm with the arc turn yeah so that's I think the issue
necessarily but season two again unfortunately book is better whatever guys get over it I'm a
reader and but that's again I just feel it's an exciting escapism and it feels like they're just
older people yeah yeah it always does it always it's always it's like the buzzfeed articles that are
like how old are these actors in real life and it's like playing a 12 year old is 36 and you're
like me with never have i ever yeah hannah montana's brother yes like weirdly old and
then like the nickelodeon documentary comes out even though it was disney and you're like oh no yeah that guy was in his 30s i think while he was on that show oh yeah
yeah um did you did either of you watch never have i ever no i watched the first season
no it's no book the mindy kaling show oh i was thinking of all the boys i loved yes yes fair
fair fair great another great movie.
But no, never have I ever,
Paxton Hall Yoshida,
who is the hottie
that the main character likes,
season one, so I'm not spoiling anything,
who the main character proposes sex to, actually,
to take her virginity.
Yes, he's a hot jock,
and she's like,
corners him after swim practice,
and is like,
so you want to meet up, Tess?
Mind you, this Davey mess has no idea about the world.
And he's like, okay, come over.
And then she's like, oh, actually, I don't want this on your food.
That's so valid.
Yeah.
But she, anyway, so I think you would like it.
You should watch it
um and it's it's a quick 30 minute like shows anyway but he plays yeah he's 30 something now
um and and she was a teenager like she was 17 when she was supposed to play
yeah and they were kissing remember also like the outrage that happened in season eight, maybe, of Game of Thrones,
where Arya Stark, who like we've watched grow up from this baby.
I don't remember.
Do you actually see her boobs or is she just like naked from the back?
I don't know, but she's about to bang someone.
And people were like not okay with it.
And I was like, come on, everyone's about to maybe die.
Like, it's okay.
But it's like like we're sexualizing
and it's like people have sex so we didn't see her nips that would have felt different and if we
did I take it back sorry no I don't think I don't think we did it was just I remember yeah it being
odd because it's like I don't know it's almost like uh we're not they're like uncles and aunts
but we're like we're sort of the family friend uncles and aunts it's like well I watched you
grow up and now I have to see you do this.
That's not what I signed off on.
You're just that little girl
that liked to play with Cereal Pharrell
in King's Landing this entire time.
But also like, listen,
I think we already kind of crossed that bridge
when she was just like mercilessly
slitting people's throats.
Which like weirdly is more okay than sex.
But also like season one, episode one,
we're watching a teenage Daenerys
get raped and we all kept watching yep did you watch or I'm sure maybe at least an episode I'm
sure everyone has watched that 70s show right where Mila Kunis lies about her age oh yeah
because she's 16 um and they had to tell her like just lie that you're 16 because
this is crazy and everyone else obviously much older ashton clinton yeah and now look there
that's how she found the guy they're happily together with their unbathed children
why was it storybook ending yes sorry question you didn't know this yeah do you not know that social media so i don't like
know a lot yeah so i believe it was what last year sasha like mila kunis and actually just last year
maybe they did an interview where they were like uh they bathed their children every like three or
four days and then it like came a whole bunch of i feel like celebrities came out and was like yeah we don't
2021 yes
Dax Shepard's
podcast and
they again and they go
yeah they talked about bathing
and blah blah blah and how
they think bathing their kids is so
dumb
wow I didn't bathe for three days
on Survivor and that was traumatic
yeah and then she like went on ellen to defend it like it's so funny like interesting i didn't
know that was a thing and i feel more well-rounded as a human now that i know well it's like the the
inner monologue question that came up like a couple years ago where it's like do you realize
a frightening amount of people in the world
either like do or don't believe it to Sasha's
point like I believe the quote that was
said when they were talking about it on Dax's podcast
like Dax kind of normalized he's like yeah unless
I see dirt on my kids unless they're covered in grime
I don't wash them either and it's like
am I am I the insane one
or are all these other
very rich people the insane ones
right they can afford good health care
there's a difference it's true that's true oh my god it just again comes back to bridgeton right
but it's not actually but where all these folks um especially i think the british learned hygiene
when they started colonizing all these other countries and uh i don't know if you've
seen shogun but there's a whole amazing storyline in shogun because it's this white male and he's
like do you want to shower because it's obvious he smells like everyone's struggling and this
british guy and they're just like maybe we get him to just go in the water. Yeah. He's like, he's like, he's like, well, I took a shower three days ago.
I don't need to shower again.
And these Japanese, like these feudal Japanese people are in.
You could tell they're incensed.
Oh, God.
Do I need to watch Shogun?
I think you should.
Yeah.
I mean, listen, the Emmy voters say yes, considering that they just won wholesale in so many ways. I think you should yeah you could I mean listen the Emmy voters say yes considering that they
just won uh wholesale in so many ways I I think so I think you'd really enjoy it I mean you're
it's you know the biggest barrier to entry is probably that so much of it is in Japanese and
so you're relying a lot on subtitles but like that's a low bar to clear my opinion yeah yeah
I watch most shows with subtitles anyway I feel like i can't hear what you're saying there we go there we go you're among friends especially the british
shows like anything oh yeah i need subtitles

Side note, here's a show I watched recently that a friend told me to watch that I just like had never really heard about.
And it was so good. And I feel like more more people need to watch it.
The Sex Lives of College Girls.
Oh, yeah.
Where was that?
OK, so if you like that, you need to watch Never Have I Ever.
That's a high school version, like with only one Indian girl.
But still, she's also with a white man, Mindy.
But you will pay for your time um but yes
who is your favorite I'm sure I mean so listen I am a musical theater Broadway yes like my whole
got like Hamilton post I am like I am musical theater and Rene Rapp I mean makes me question
my sexuality on the reg.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on, Leighton.
I love it.
So then I have to ask, what'd you think of the musical episode of Grey's?
Okay, a random musical episode is hit or miss. One of my favorite shows of all time, most profound impact, is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Yes.
I am.
It's gotta be.
And the musical episode of Buffy
went hard okay it went hard yeah I will stand by that forever and it was so freaking good
the Grey's musical episode I didn't hate it but I didn't love it and also some of them can't
sing come right so you're like oh it's like Russell Crowe in Les Mis and you're just like
there's this great YouTube video of like behind the scenes before maybe the Oscars or the Tonys.
It's the whole cast of Les Mis singing.
And then Russell Crowe.
And someone is like tapping to the beat and he's still singing off beat, like not in time with the music.
A little bit off key.
And you're just like Russell get it together
I as someone that can't sing and has great respect for people that can sing
playback singing what's going on have someone else sing it again Bollywood that's all they do
none of those actors can sing so I will never when I moved to America, again, very confused as to why these people need to sing and dance and do everything on.
It's okay.
Just make that a person favorite.
There's a YouTube video.
I have to look it up, but I forget it.
We're like, they go in depth into the issue that they did with that movie where obviously it was like, okay, we're, they're going to be playing live alongside the actors
so the actors can really feel their way through it
and they can rephrase things if they want to
and how it just like leads to terrible musicality
because instead of a backing track,
now it's just all over the place
because, oh, so-and-so decides to take a breath in this take
as opposed to the next take.
And as a result, now it's all thrown off.
Interesting.
That's crazy.
They're just rock and roll musicals.
I mean, Les Mis and shows.
The love of my life outside of my husband.
His name is Aaron Tveit.
Oh, yeah.
He's a Broadway star, but he was also in Les Mis, the curly haired one.
And he was also Nate Vanderbilt's cousin in the original Gossip Girl.
Yes.
Trip Vanderbilt.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, so I have only seen two episodes of Gossip Girl in my life,
and one of them involved Aaron Tveit in there.
And I was like, Aaron Tveit was on this?
Oh, my God.
I saw him live in New York when he reprised his role as Christian in Moulin Rouge.
And I had a serious experience. Which time? Like for the seventh or eighth time no not this most recent time unfortunately
last time oh my god I said Cuba getting Cuba getting junior in Moulin Rouge in London
wild who did he play the main character I forget the name he can sing yeah it was good I enjoyed
it I don't know that he can like sing
but it was good i have a weird cuba thing and i feel badly that i think about this every time i
think about him now because like pearl harper's one of my all-time faves and like yeah there's a
video i think i watched it on i don't think it was on last week tonight it was on a scripted
variety show and it's cuba gooding jr at a night
club with the microphone in his hand in front of everyone and my husband and i say this all the
time this is really fucked up and you might have to edit it out he just goes somebody sucked that
baby's dick and that's all i can ever think about with cuba gooding jr that's crazy was there any
context was there a yeah i've never context, but I'm always just like,
somebody sucked that baby's dick.
Wait, shut up.
That's the new show me the money.
Impossible.
I would need that on a t-shirt.
I'll be shot in North Carolina.
Yeah, you would.
Yeah, that's not okay.
I'm not condoning this. I'm so sorry.
Oh my God, wild this we just talked about
celebrities right they have a certain niche that they need to fill and that's something he needed
to say they're just like us this is like the the jerry's uh seinfeld that's like
cancel culture exists oh no i hate this and it's like meanwhile they're saying
all of this stuff it's true i love them i gotta ask can as as a musical theater lover uh i did
this as well were were you into smash were you into glee was that what occupied your space in
like the late 2000s early 2010s never seen smash in my life didn't know
there was a musical aspect to it oh smash is literally about making a Marilyn Monroe musical
I don't know I thought it was like about the army wait I'm dead is it like you're thinking of mash
you're thinking of mash right where itASH, right? Where it's like M. I have not seen either of them.
That's MASH.
I've never heard of SMASH somehow in my life, ever.
Wow.
Okay, so SMASH, it's starring Debra Messing, Christian Borle, Catherine McPhee, Megan Hilty.
So yeah, it's them making a Angelica Houston.
They're making a musical.
It's not MASH.
That's for sure.
Alan Alda has no place in this.
I mean, it's bad.
It's a very bad show,
but it's delightful to watch with how bad it is.
Wow.
Okay, so no.
And Glee, yes.
Did I make my husband watch Glee as an adult?
You bet it. Did he begrudgingly like it yes he did
um loved glee would die for glee also representation cory montyth rest in peace uh
that episode the quarterback still um loved glee watching the documentary about glee
was incredibly disturbing because and puck was my favorite character and the super hot cheerleader.
I mean, it's like so many of them have died.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, also speaking of Puck,
talk about a person who's like 28 playing a 16 year old on TV.
Yeah, but I did love Glee when it came out.
I loved Glee as an adult.
I will sing Glee.
I mean, the Glee version of Don't Stop Believin'
I love that I did you have a show speaking of all these I feel like it's just taking me back did you have a show um or have a show rather I should say comfort show that you feel like you
always reach for I think if I'm going through something like the last time I'm trying to think
of the last time I went through like a breakup or something where i was like i am unwell oh i guess survivor
airing i was pretty unwell and i couldn't watch survivor for a while but what did i go to when
did i re-watch buffy i think i might have re-watched buffy after survivor because i became
friends with one of the hosts of oh fuck what's the survivor podcast drop your buffs oh yeah i sent
him a picture of myself sobbing i think during the series finale because the co-host wrote a book
about buffy and so we like bonded anyway it's a whole thing um i think buffy would be a comfort
show if i really needed something i mean i haven't reverted back to like Dawson's Creek but I watched
that after a breakup once I think the office always like I know millennials are like Harry
Potter in the office but like yeah that's my fucking reality so yeah but now there's a new
office coming to Australia maybe that'll be the Gen Z basic show to turn to oh interesting
interesting yeah yeah yeah they just put out a teaser for it
i saw it yesterday that like it's not as much of a copy paste as like the original episodes of the
office us were for the uk but it's like very uh incredibly similar structure boss stick up their
ass uh kiss ass number one the couple that's will they won't they what's
interesting though is they're built bringing in a little bit of like 2020 stuff to it like they're
like okay now i want to announce we're all fully back in office 24 7 so like that's going to be
interesting because it'll be like a reboot but also an updated scenes okay i might have to watch
that i just noticed i literally have a michael scott
thing right there yeah is it the star wars michael scott it's the you miss 100 of the
shows let's say yeah wayne gretzky yeah it was a gift but yeah um yeah so i would say like buffy
the office like something light arrested development even something to just like bring me back but also like I know I know it all so well that it's just like were you team angel or
team spike and buffy can you guess based on like my whole affect I mean I would say I'd probably
say team spike yeah that's why I would have again I'm sorry i've brought this up now like four times but a
little rapey in one episode okay straight up rape sorry in one episode you can edit out every time
i say rape on this podcast um but teen spike forever i got a cameo from him for my mom
not that long ago and like he's old though and it's weird i know people age but it was jarring
vampires don't, though.
Vampires don't.
Weird throwback, which you probably haven't seen.
I'm also like a sci-fi girly.
Rewatch for comfort would be Babylon 5.
And if anyone watching this has seen Babylon 5,
you're a real one.
Okay, so I've definitely heard of it.
I haven't dabbled into it.
I'm watching Battlestar Galactica for the first time the
i've never seen it i've never seen it i've only seen two seasons and it's been really really good
it's just celebrating its 20th anniversary so wow on peacock smash is on peacock not mash mash
might also be on peacock mash might also be on peacock i'm trying to think too of like remember
old itunes i mean you can obviously still buy shows
but like when I was in college I would like buy a season of a show and I'm trying to think what
I still have on my iTunes yeah like with my parents credit card and then deny that it ever
happened yeah I know I did I still have like the first three episodes of Mad Men like in my Apple
TV account wild interesting I only went to the special sites. Good for you.
I have the OC and I have Buffy.
And I also have my comfort show when I was not sober
and would use marijuana often was Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
There we go.
Okay, Sasha, do you know what this is?
No.
So this was like the consummate adult swim show
back when adult swim
was like
god
oh openness
I do
okay no
I have
at least seen an episode
I almost got a
meat wad tattoo
and then I was like
I actually still might
honestly

that is so
you must send us pictures
he's Jewish
meat wad is Jewish
hello
I'm Jewish
same yeah so I love this wait Mike Bloom so you must send us pictures hello I'm Jewish same
yeah so I love this
wait Mike Bloom are you also
yeah oh my god
wow rare
look at here we are

right
my mom would literally
murder me oh my god
yeah mine are past that I'm the youngest and like fair
every time i get like i just got one of my dog's name on mother's day like for funsies and like no
one cares anymore they're like she's too far gone listen as an only child and i'm indian and i'm
doing impossible the the mom stereotype is never beaten the allegations how many uh pop culture tattoos you have hannah obviously
you put out the lost one do you have any other ones okay lost i had a stormtrooper
i did find out that stormtroopers are like an allegory that might be the incorrect word for
nazis so like i mean quite literally that's where the word comes from. Yeah. Yes.
Anyway, I have a stormtrooper.
What else do I have?
I have so much random shit.
No, I have a sloth.
That's not pop culture.
I just love sloths.
No, but I will say some people from my season have gotten survivor-related tattoos.
I don't think they've come out with them,
so I won't say anything about that.
Here we go.
Yeah, like tribe stuff.
And I just fucking hate owls. I'm not getting a Lulu owl. You can't pay me tribe stuff and i just fucking hate owls i'm not getting
a lulu owl you can't pay me to get it now i hate it oh for survivor i hate owls now i forgot that
the owl was on was your yeah i didn't even know i was like what are we talking about into something
yeah that's when i knew that's when i knew i got the canteen the dirty sandy canteen and i saw an
owl on it and i was like this is doomed from the start
oh my god i thought you were about to make some drake reference and i was like yeah yeah he's not
cool right now no no no i was team kendrick before all of this i'm happy to announce listen a brown
jew okay i was very much like well at least i could marry him in my but i am too old comfort show degrassi let's talk about this okay
i have never been able to take drake seriously because i grew up yes yes yeah you're not lying
right i had to watch it in our health class in high school what where did you go to high school
we had the coolest t-shirt yeah it was like so progressive this is like going into med school
because you watch grades and i'm like talk about a fictionalized version of like don't do drugs
kids yes look what jt's doing when he's selling uh oxycontin to support his and liberty's baby
yeah so like to me though drake is always gonna be jimmy yeah when he came out with like started
from the bottom i'm like you started in Canada, my dude. Like what bottom
are you talking about? We all
once remember him as Aubrey Graham, that's for sure.
And also like the whole
episode about how he can't necessarily
get his peenie
up because. Oh, I forgot
about that episode. I think about
that every time I see Drake. I'm like, I can
get over that he was shot and
that he was in a wheelchair. Yeah. And then he became a became a rapper wanted to like sit on it yeah yeah yeah yeah so no
oh my god did you um were you a Degrassi completionist or was there a moment of drop off
I was a Degrassi not like the one with the old, like their parents, like the younger one and the one after.
I think I definitely watched past the shooting.
I think I might have watched it all.
And then a few years ago, I found out that the entire show before they put it on, whatever they put it on, maybe HBO Max was on YouTube, like just full episodes.
I was just re-watching it.
And it's like episode one, season one, eating disorder.
And I was like was like oh we really
just got right into it huh oh my god do you ever re-watch this stuff and be like i really watched
this as a kid like no problem yeah yeah who let me watch a lot of the things that i consumed
literally all of it all that all of the above yeah i mean that's the thing though we had
degrassi does this generation have euphoria now is that their degrassi yes and euphoria is way
worse i mean euphoria is such a well-done show i am like a zendaya stan forever and um it's just
so well done the acting is incredible it is so disturbing like even as a fully formed like my
brain is developed and I have like coping
skills and like community like I am okay today and I'm watching it and I'm like yeah doing drugs
like that putting glitter on my face seems legit and it's like no Hannah you learned this the hard
way and so I just feel for a lot of people use euphoria as their diagnostic case conceptualization in that class wow and drake is a producer on
i did not know this somebody i don't even want to ask that's why this song
yeah that's why uh kendrick's one of the songs is called euphoria
but what did the i didn't know you're everyone i don't want to wow i don't know
i don't i don't want to think about this i can introduce drake is everywhere
oh my god i in my mind i was like oh yeah because he did degrassi so euphoria makes
they are not the same they are not the same oh my god yeah Degrassi it's very like it really is high school like
disturbed disturbing but it's so much more innocent in so many ways euphoria is like I'm gonna go on
this app and meet this scary older man and get railed at drugs it's just different it's just
different yeah I think I think euphoria maybe it's maybe it's down to the number of episodes
in a season like euphoria has a short episode so that could cram the number of episodes in a season. Like Euphoria has a short episode,
so they had to cram a lot of problems in there.
Whereas Degrassi, it's like, okay, this week,
Liberty has dyscalculia.
And then in the next episode, we'll have, you know,
Manny and Craig having sex and her having to get an abortion.
Yes, or Manny wearing a thong.
Oh, that outfit?
That has like, I don't know.
I'm pretty sure I was like, I need to go to Victoria's Secret after that. I has like, I don't know. I'm pretty sure I was like,
I need to go to Victoria's Secret after that.
I was like, I need that.
Even though it's not cute now.
And now as an older, I'm like, that's so uncomfortable.
What are people like?
How do you sit comfortably?
Well, listen, when you're young,
I don't think anything matters.
Nothing matters.
Nothing matters.
God, Manny Santos.
What a girl.
I also loved when,
because it's sort of like in the Disney mold, right?
Where it's like, okay,
we're going to try everybody out as a singer.
Like you sort of have a backdoor singing career
when you were on the Disney channel.
They kind of did that with Degrassi.
Like they did that with Manny.
Obviously Craig had like Downtown Sasquatch was the name of
their band that they're like okay you're you're an out now musician now what a reference how he was
so annoying I really hated Craig every time he was on screen I needed him to move didn't he have
an abusive dad yeah he did yeah I took my pulled on my heartstrings you know I was like the makings
of a therapist these shows you're like I just want to help them side note I haven't said this
so when I met you first Mike Bloom um I was still very much a therapist but I had started
transitioning my clients out because I didn't want to continue working with clients after they
see me half naked crying on an island it just seems unprofessional i know ellie and dory did it but like and um yeah so i so technically i am a
therapist but i haven't seen clients since before survivor i have not provided therapeutic services
oh wow yeah transitioned out of there i was also super burnt out so i was like right here but
that's fair yeah yeah everyone's always like well you're a therapist i'm like like am i like i am
but like am i you know no you meant more of like a you you worked with people but now you work with
people in a different way more of a management role i am a ce uh-huh uh love that i'm just i'm
just reading up on downtown sasquatch i forgot that spinner spinner was the drummer but then they kicked
but then they kicked him out because he was responsible for the aforementioned jimmy getting
shot in the back and they're like that's it you're out of the band that's a pretty valid boundary
also as much as i'm not like i do know like every drake song and like fuck with drake even though
i'm like boo um remember when he came out with 50 000 on my neck with disrespect
i'm upset remember when he came out i'm upset i'm upset i see the music video
that's how it opened was him and spinner and they ended it with the basketball song. Whatever it takes. Mm. Mm. Fuck.
What? I know I can make it through.
This is why, listen, Drake is
Drake lost and he shouldn't have lost,
right? Like he's problematic,
period. All of this. Okay.
Yes. I want to hold that.
And he, this is why he's
the, like the summer hit maker
because he just knows how to get
the right beat get the right thing
in front of you.
He knew what he was doing. Nostalgia is in.
Nostalgia baby. There we go.
I am a nostalgia girl.
I was so excited.
I can literally see the music video.
That's how many times it's seen.
I want to dress like them. I want to be them.
I want to go to Degrassi. I want to be Canadian.
Side note. speaking of a
theme song that's a bop yes there are two okay one of them i believe it's also fully subtitled
and i haven't watched it but my husband watched it and so i bopped every time the theme song came
on i would come into the living room and dance in front of the screen tehran tehran tehran like
the capital of yeah I was gonna say
Like the capital
Yes okay
That theme song goes hard
And I listen to it in my car
And then secondly
And probably more
Receptive to the people
Succession
Yes Mike will tell you
There's a rap song
And someone laid that tune on it
And I'm like
You know It's Oh I was gonna say when you talk about the rap song i was thinking about a very
different rap song that's associated with succession what song l to the og baby oh oh
oh my god it's good i know i like it because I'm like a bunch of older white dudes.
That's exactly why I didn't want to watch it.
Let me just say, so I had Brooke from The Amazing Race on here a few weeks ago and I publicly recommended it to her.
Since then, in a two-week period, she blitzed through the entire thing
and texted me her thoughts throughout and was like,
oh, I'm so glad I watched this.
This is incredible.
So yeah, that's about it.
Okay, yes, this is the show so i watched the first two episodes or something like that with my my mom and it was
that like ejaculation oh yeah where i'm a colleague brother Brother. Yeah. Does the whole thing. And I'm just,
my mom was like,
but what is the reason?
But what power.
Americans,
they just have to do this like weird sex.
But that's like,
that's the thing though,
is that like,
I honestly feel like succession is one of the best representations of
American culture I have ever seen.
That's fair
primarily based in like greed and constantly like calling yeah you know pulling yourself up by
dragging other people down capitalism to your point uh like soaking the flames of media like
it is really sounds like survivor to me which is why i didn't fit into it also speaking of another show
that i was like i'm not gonna like this because it's a bunch of old white men riding horses
yellowstone baby 10 out of 10 oh my really so i watched the other um who is the creator writer
of yellow so actually taylor sheridan thank. So I watched the other Taylor Sheridan
show to
cover it on. Yeah.
Also, shout out Tulsa Gang because I'm
from Tulsa.
And he literally lives, sorry,
this is such a side note, but
he, Sylvester
Sloan, the
place he's supposed to live in is the
hotel I got married at. So every time he's like going into the mail, I'm like live in is the hotel I got married at so every time he's like
going into the mail I'm like this is crazy because I have that same exact amazing I was like I also
have that drone shot of me walking because my videographer did that is so exciting I feel like
when you see a place that you've been or have existed in in a show it's like the best thing ever that
is how i fought for all of love island usa yes ariana maddox because it was filmed lioness
that i lived at for a freaking month oh my god that's wild and i was like i've been there i hung
out there i did nothing there i didn't regret quitting there like it was just it was phenomenal
so that's so cool i've never seen tulsa keg i might have to it's so then what was the what was the other show you were
talking about lioness it was like lioness was on a show and you can lioness is coming back i did i
i hate watched it in that i found it very funny it's not a funny show it's the fbi cia special
ops it's literally special ops lioness.
Nicole Kidman's in it.
So you're like, this is going to be a great serious show.
Zoe Saldana, right?
Like you're just like, wow, it's going to be good.
Y'all, it's written.
You could just tell.
Before I knew who wrote it,
you could just tell that it's written by a man,
a white man via the lens, you know,
and trying to like make it work for the a woman of color a
black woman whatever you want to say oh no and yellowstone is good yeah so that's why i never
went back to watch yellowstone because i was so annoyed by speaking of white men can you name
this reference and from what show and who said it? A white man?
No.
Oh, it's Schmidt from New Girl.
I love you.
Yeah, I was going to be like, it's either New Girl or what's that cartoon?
Shoot.
Where they're in Texas.
Oh, King of the Hill?
King of the Hill.
I mean, that does sound like a Dale Gribble line.
Yeah.
A white man.
A white man? Well, that's man well that's the thing though speaking of emmys lamorne morris ends up winning
for fargo and everyone's like well this is more so trying to make up for the fact that he was never
even nominated as winston bishop from new girls frank sinatra new girl is also one of the best shots oh my god when i know what i have been down now uh the wayans brother like
wayans family uh like and been watching all you've been watching again right for papa's house sasha
basically i think i'm gonna watch papa's house because marlin right goes on shannon sharp
shout out which shannon sharp live stream was he on um i don't know if you know shannon
sharp was caught uh in intimate affairs on a live stream on instagram last week okay thank you for
letting me know because he was barking and every shannon is a man yes shannon is a man he is a
ex-nfl football player or ex-nfl is he the one with gap in his teeth? that's a skip I don't know
does he have a gap?
you're thinking of Michael Strahan
oh yes no no no
Shannon Sharp yeah no
but anyway he's a football player
commentator all this stuff
but he also has
this podcast where all these
very famous
mostly black celebrities have gone on and just like portal to whatever has been
open because Cat Williams went on it this into January.
And since then, everything has just been in a tornado.
Like Cat Williams in January said Diddy is going to like he's gonna get what's
coming for him soon and like yeah like he like noted every single thing that was gonna happen
yep so that's why every williams is psychic question mark who knows uh but no the reason
they brought that up is because yeah the wayans brothers um so marlon went on it to like promote
his thing and then he started talking about um how New Girl
and Lamont Harris like all these people were um feel like now the third generation of the Wayans
family almost um yeah and it's well yeah because yeah because Lamorne was on New Girl with Damon
yes with Damon so yeah and when um Lamont was um doing the either Jimmy Kimmel show you know one of the late night
shows Marlon goes on and like just drags him the whole time and he's like you know I'm not like
your nephew right I was just on a show with him called New Girl that's so good yeah so I just I
love like anything New Girl and I just like I I don't know. It's what a great show.
I've watched it so many times.
Same.

I will say like the plug is
because we are very passionate about this work
so we end up doing like a lot of research like
it's a true crime podcast

So that's how I don't know.
I don't know how to explain it, but that's what we end up doing.
