Wow. Paisley and pink.
0:05
Was there something wrong with the fishnet tank top? Obviously
0:08
not. I'm wearing it underneath. I'm kidding. Just
0:10
chill, please. I'm sorry. I just
0:12
want to make a good first impression. You mean you want to fit
0:14
in and not terrify the villagers? Hey, come on. Today
0:17
is about Lily, all right?
0:19
Her future best friend might be in that class, and
0:21
I don't want to rub anyone the wrong way. Can you please just
0:23
change your shirt? Change
0:26
my
0:26
shirt? Fine. You know what? I'll just go put on a pair of khakis,
0:29
maybe a polo shirt, and everybody will think we're a couple
0:31
straight golfing buddies who just decided to have a kid together.
0:38
Hey, it's Ben Bailey-Smith here. And
0:40
Sasha Bates. And get your massive
0:43
shirt cuffs ready, because this is the podcast
0:45
where we put your favorite fictional characters into therapy.
0:48
Sasha tries to piece together what might happen
0:50
in their life thus far, and with that in mind,
0:53
Sasha,
0:54
welcome back once more for another week. And
0:56
tell us about this incredible couple. Oh,
0:59
yeah, that was Cam and Mitch, one of the
1:01
couples from the brilliant comedy Modern Family.
1:04
And you can hear just how different they are. I mean, Cam
1:06
is so full on and over the top,
1:09
both in his clothing choices and
1:11
sort of everything else about him is over
1:13
the top and loud and out there and
1:15
huge. And Mitch, his
1:18
partner, is endlessly trying to kind
1:20
of calm him down. And yeah, they've just adopted
1:22
Lily, their little baby daughter from Vietnam.
1:25
So they are very different. And
1:27
it's really interesting to look at how a relationship
1:29
can work when they're so different.
1:31
This is a series
1:33
that I loved straight away. It
1:35
was my elder daughter who got me into
1:37
it. It's quickly become
1:39
a bit like when we were talking about Seinfeld the other
1:41
week, you know, one of those shows you can sort of put
1:44
on any time. And I
1:46
guess the big difference is it has this huge
1:49
heart, right? You get to a point at the end
1:51
where it kind of wraps things
1:53
up in that traditional, almost like 1950s
1:55
American TV way of going, hey,
1:58
you know, at the end of the day.
1:59
We all love each other and
2:02
yet I don't hate it. It feels like a shot
2:05
in the arm that you need in a cynical
2:07
world. And I think obviously
2:10
the way that they get away with it is because
2:13
it is extremely funny, extremely
2:16
regularly. It's very, very consistent.
2:19
I think the only thing that maybe doesn't work
2:21
for me is the sort of mockumentary.
2:24
It feels strangely dated, like as
2:26
if they thought, well, the office really works. So let's
2:28
do that. It doesn't really need it. I'm basically,
2:30
I'm glad you've chosen Mitch and
2:32
Cam because they are probably the
2:34
two characters that make me
2:36
snort with laughter the most.
2:39
The combination of them, I just find
2:42
hilarious. I know about you. Yeah,
2:45
I mean, I love them. I think they're great. And it's
2:47
so great to have a gay couple
2:49
sort of center stage and for that not to be a real issue.
2:52
I mean, it comes up and they do talk about
2:54
it, but it's not like full of angst
2:57
or worry. No,
2:58
they sort of use the dad, don't they? You use Mitchell's
3:00
dad as the sort of, oh, God,
3:02
gay people doing gay things. He's
3:05
like the voice of old America in a
3:07
way.
3:07
He is. And I think they are just such
3:10
a celebratory couple and especially
3:12
with adopting Lily and seeing
3:14
how that changes their relationship. It's brilliant.
3:16
But I actually like the mockumentary bits. Oh,
3:19
really?
3:19
Okay. I mean, I don't not like
3:21
them. The interviews, I'm just saying it
3:23
would still be great without them, I guess, is
3:25
what I'm saying.
3:26
It would. Although I wonder whether
3:29
the reason it doesn't become all sort of schmaltzy
3:31
and we all love each other and why it isn't irritating
3:33
is because in those interviews, they are sort
3:35
of like giving little side long losses.
3:38
Okay. I love how it depicts all
3:40
these different types of family. Obviously the gay
3:42
family, the blended family with
3:44
Jay, the dad, marrying a much younger
3:47
woman from a different culture and
3:49
having to sort of deal with a stepson. And
3:51
then the more traditional one with Claire
3:54
and Phil.
3:55
Yeah, that's a great point, actually.
3:57
They give you lots of different examples of what
3:59
a family can do.
3:59
look like. And if this was poorly
4:02
written, it would feel probably
4:04
really woke. And people would be like, oh, right,
4:06
so there's a gay couple starring here. And they've
4:09
got a Vietnamese daughter. Oh,
4:11
wow. This is just like liberal heaven.
4:13
But actually,
4:15
what you see is a lot of misplaced
4:18
prejudice and even like borderline racism
4:20
from Cam and Mitch around having
4:23
a Vietnamese kid. They don't really know
4:25
how to deal with it, which I think is way
4:27
more truthful and a bit braver than
4:29
having like, oh, they're a gay couple. And they're
4:32
so woke that they've got a Vietnamese kid.
4:34
They make a lot of mistakes around
4:36
being white people adopting a child of
4:38
color, which I think is kind of a brave thing
4:41
to put in a family show.
4:43
And they all make loads of mistakes. And I think that's
4:45
what's really sweet. We watch them having
4:47
to kind of like row back and kind of having
4:49
to forgive each other and having to like learn
4:52
to cope with each other's clumsy behavior.
4:54
Yeah, coming up, then we're going to ask what
4:56
makes you a feeler or a dealer. And we're
4:58
also going to explore why Mitch is so desperate
5:01
to fit in and why Cam cries on a
5:03
whim. Whilst the show we're discussing is
5:05
actually as we've established pretty wholesome
5:08
and sweet. We do describe
5:11
issues in an adult way. And I am prone
5:13
to a naughty word or two as I'm sure
5:15
you know, so please accept this warm
5:17
family hug of a language
5:20
warning. And most of all, welcome
5:23
to shrink the box.
5:28
Okay, not a massive recap needed
5:30
here, thankfully. But for those of you who
5:33
need a little reminder about modern family,
5:35
here we go. It features three different
5:38
types of families nuclear, blended and same
5:40
sex as Sasha mentioned earlier, and they
5:42
all live in the Los Angeles area. And
5:45
they're all related through this wealthy
5:47
business owner named Jay Pritchett
5:50
and his children, daughter Claire and
5:53
son Mitchell. The family we're interested
5:55
in today is Jay's lawyer,
5:58
son
5:58
Mitchell and his husband Cameron.
5:59
Tucker, who've adopted this
6:02
Vietnamese daughter, Lily Tucker
6:04
Pritchett. And each episode is pretty much self-contained.
6:07
You don't really have follow on very much. And
6:09
everything's kind of based on real life situations
6:12
that families might encounter on
6:14
a daily basis, albeit
6:16
comically exaggerated. Sasha,
6:20
introduce us to your
6:22
double couches this week, Mitch and
6:24
Cam. Cameron was born
6:27
and grew up on a farm in Missouri with three
6:29
human siblings and an
6:31
awful lot of non-human siblings. He
6:34
does refer to the farm's livestock as his
6:36
brothers and sisters occasionally. But he's
6:38
also very kind of campy
6:41
and bit of a drama queen. Jazz hands. Yeah,
6:43
he's very jazz hands. And so he
6:45
was a music teacher before adopting Lily, but
6:48
is now a stay-at-home dad. But he
6:50
also dabbles in music and theater
6:52
and sports. He's quite well-rounded
6:55
in all senses.
6:55
Mitch
6:57
was born in Sacramento. He's got an older
7:00
sister, Claire. And his
7:02
family is way more present in the show
7:04
than Cam's because he still lives close
7:06
to Claire and her family and to his dad,
7:08
Jay. His step-mother, Gloria,
7:11
and step-brother, Manny, who's only 10. And
7:13
then we also occasionally see his mum, Dee Dee.
7:16
She comes to visit. She's also rather problematic. And
7:19
yeah, when we start the series, Cam and Mitch have been together
7:21
for five years and have just adopted Lily.
7:23
And early presentations
7:25
of them both, what do you think? Just looking
7:27
at them visually. I mean, Cam is larger
7:30
than life, both in terms of his physicality.
7:33
And he kind of makes himself larger. His arms are always out.
7:35
He's always kind of like filling the room. He takes up
7:37
a lot of space. And in contrast, Mitch kind of makes
7:40
himself very small. It's quite
7:42
interesting just physically seeing Mitch sort of
7:44
almost as the opposite. He almost shrinks into himself. So
7:48
I think one of them is used
7:51
to being approved of and approves of himself and
7:53
thinks, yeah, look at me. I'm here. You can't ignore me.
7:56
And
7:56
I think the other one possibly is more used to
7:59
disapproval.
7:59
and wanting to be a bit smaller and
8:02
a bit more invisible and flying
8:04
under the radar. That instinct
8:07
in Mitch, who clearly is the smaller,
8:09
quieter, folded in one, means
8:11
that he doesn't really want conflict. He just wants to
8:13
stay quiet. He wants to keep everything nice, whereas
8:15
Cam just will run into
8:18
any sort of situation. And the jobs
8:20
reflect that. Like I said, Cam, he's
8:22
into music, he's into sports, he's into
8:24
just everyone look at me. And
8:26
Mitch is a lawyer. And I think lawyers sometimes
8:29
can
8:29
go into law because it's very controlled.
8:32
And if they do have to
8:33
have a conflict, they can do it through the
8:36
kind of the prism of the rules
8:38
and the boundaries and the paperwork. And you
8:40
can distance yourself. And
8:43
I mean, I think one of the very early scenes,
8:45
you kind of see that difference in how
8:47
they handle conflict and how they handle
8:49
their family. Because when they bring Lily back
8:52
from Vietnam initially, Mitch
8:54
has been too scared to even tell his family that they're
8:56
adopting. I mean, it seems kind of mad
8:58
to think that he's waiting until she's in
9:00
the house and in the country. Cam just
9:02
kind of bulldozers
9:03
through that. And he just says, oh, I've invited
9:06
them all for dinner. So you can just tell them all tonight. So
9:08
he kind of makes Mitch confront the family.
9:10
And like we said, that Cam is bolder.
9:13
He's more up for confrontation. What
9:15
can we speculate about? And what do we actually know about
9:18
the origins of that? I do actually think
9:20
it's quite relevant that Cam grew up on a farm,
9:22
because I think you can have a sense of just
9:25
being a bit more closer to nature, that you just let
9:27
things out. And animals
9:29
do fight, and then they go off and they resolve it
9:31
and they come back. And we know a lot less
9:33
about Cam's family, but I get the impression that everything
9:36
was okay. Yeah, everyone let it all hang out. They let
9:38
it all out. They had fights. They made it up.
9:41
Whereas Mitch's family, as we see a lot
9:43
more of, they kind of keep things in a bit,
9:45
and they're a bit more concerned with appearances.
9:48
And also we know that Jay and Zeedy,
9:51
Mitch and Claire's parents, they did get divorced.
9:53
And it may well be that Mitch
9:55
kind of was aware that conflict
9:57
can lead to a breakup.
9:59
So he's,
9:59
might be more frightened of it
10:02
in that sense. But I think they really
10:04
operate on different levels as well in terms
10:07
of Mitch seems to work from
10:09
his head, he thinks things through, and
10:11
Cam seems to work more instinctively. And
10:14
in therapy, we sometimes have a very reductionist
10:16
way of categorising people
10:19
into being a feeler or a dealer.
10:21
Right, one or the other. Yeah, Mitch and Cam sort
10:23
of epitomise those two polarities,
10:26
I think. Cam very much lets it
10:28
all hang out. He cries,
10:30
he screams, he gets angry
10:32
when he needs to. Whereas Mitch is always the
10:34
one that wants to work it out. He wants to kind of be
10:37
rational, he wants to be logical, he wants to think
10:39
things through. There's positives and
10:41
negatives of being both those ways. The
10:43
positives of being somebody who can deal quite well
10:46
is that you do look like you're coping, you
10:48
can be quite impressive, you can be quite
10:50
an achiever, often very successful
10:53
because you're kind of shutting down all those feelings of
10:55
terror and overwhelm. And you're
10:56
just getting shit done. All of our tendencies,
10:58
if we get too stuck in them, come at a
11:01
cost. And the price you pay for being a dealer
11:03
is that you can be a bit cold,
11:05
a bit distant. The
11:07
feelings haven't gone away just because you're not aware
11:10
of them. They are still there, but they're so suppressed
11:12
that they often will then explode out in
11:14
ways that are a bit uncontrollable.
11:16
Yeah, that's right. Because Cam
11:18
sort of explodes every day and Mitch
11:20
explodes once a month. Exactly. It's
11:22
slightly scarier. It feels very serious.
11:24
It does, exactly. Because it's had time
11:27
to build, like you're kind of holding it back
11:29
behind a dam. The only way that the feelings
11:31
that are there can come out is by like exploding
11:33
through the dam and just like flooding. Whereas
11:36
for somebody who is a feeler, who
11:38
are kind of like flooding all the time,
11:40
what they need to do is almost like learn
11:43
how to control the tap. Yeah,
11:45
dealers need to find a tap. They
11:47
need to find a way of letting out controllably.
11:50
And the feelers need to learn how to kind of turn
11:52
the tap off occasionally so that they're now constantly
11:54
letting it out. As we know, Cam
11:57
just, you know, he's going to let it all
11:59
out. What Finn happens, he's gonna run with it.
12:02
I mean, there's an episode where he rescues
12:05
this crying gardener and
12:07
ends up having a wedding at their house. I
12:10
mean, like, he takes it so far. Actually,
12:12
there's a little snippet of that one we got here.
12:14
Rosa, thank you for coming. Carlos, let me know how it works
12:17
out with that dentist. Victor, you
12:19
owe me a dance. Yes, I'm
12:21
a caring person, and without Mitchell, I
12:23
would just keep giving and giving and giving. I'm
12:25
like a big runaway charity
12:27
truck, and Mitchell is my off-ramp full
12:29
of safety gravel. He knows how
12:32
to say no. He always can put himself
12:34
first. He certainly can turn his back on
12:36
someone suffering.
12:38
No, really keep
12:40
going. Don't keep going.
12:44
There's actually quite a lot. There's a little bit to unpack
12:47
in that, what
12:49
that little exchange there. It
12:51
was Jesse Tyler Ferguson, you heard there
12:53
at the end, as Mitchell and Eric Stonestreet,
12:56
as Cameron, from season one
12:58
of Modern Family, as episode 12
13:00
specifically, which was called Not In My House.
13:03
It was created and written by Stephen Levitan and Christopher
13:06
Lloyd. Additional writing in that
13:08
particular episode was by Caroline Williams
13:11
and Samir Gardezy, and it was directed
13:14
by Chris Koch. We'll give you full
13:16
credits for this and all of the clips used
13:18
as ever at the end of the podcast.
13:21
Now, what it makes me think when Cam
13:24
goes all out, like he does in that
13:27
exact episode, and how Mitch
13:29
sort of buttons it all up
13:31
and keeps it in.
13:33
Can you say that Cameron is
13:36
the healthier, like
13:38
mentally, or is that just complete
13:41
guff? Well, I wouldn't like to say it's complete guff,
13:43
but no, it's not necessarily
13:46
one is healthier than the other. It's like
13:49
anything really. We all need to have access to
13:51
both these things. So if you're more naturally a feeler,
13:54
like Cam is, the advantage
13:56
is that you are more warm, you're more empathic.
13:59
As he said, he will. run into any situation
14:01
and try and kind of make it better.
14:04
He's really in touch with what's going
14:06
on, but the downsides are
14:09
that he is then very unboundaried. He
14:11
can sometimes feel a bit helpless because he
14:13
can't control this sort of flood of
14:15
emotions. He can be a bit chaotic.
14:16
And I suppose vulnerable as well because everybody can see,
14:19
like, look at this. As always in therapy,
14:21
you're trying to get people to have access
14:23
to the other part of them that
14:26
they don't have. So in
14:28
therapy, with somebody who's really good at dealing
14:30
with things, we'd be endlessly saying, so what's
14:32
the feeling? Where can you feel this?
14:35
And a lot of people who are really cough have
14:37
no clue, which is part of the problem
14:39
because if you've very successfully cut yourself
14:41
off from all those negative feelings for very good reason,
14:45
you're often also cutting yourself off from the
14:47
pleasurable ones as well. Whereas
14:49
somebody
14:50
who's always feeling
14:52
flooded by their emotions and potentially
14:55
sometimes feeling a bit out of control with
14:57
them, with them you're having to sort of say, let's
14:59
rationally try and bring a bit
15:02
of cognition in to help mediate.
15:04
So one is completely unmediated and one
15:07
is overly mediated. That clip's
15:09
brilliant because it shows that each of
15:11
them can help the other one do that,
15:13
which sort of goes back to your first question, is
15:15
that healthy in a marriage or is that useful in a
15:17
marriage? Yes, it is because you can gradually
15:20
nudge your partner into being
15:22
the other way. Now for Mitch, it must have
15:24
been so hard from the beginning, even before going
15:27
out into a world that was not necessarily
15:29
warm towards different
15:31
sexualities. Like it would have begun at home
15:34
for him because he's got quite an
15:36
overbearing
15:37
older sister, he's got a narcissistic
15:39
mom and a dad who was definitely
15:41
homophobic, like definitely.
15:44
So he must have felt really alone with
15:46
it and must have felt very shuttered from
15:49
a very early age, which means that Mitch
15:52
from the start would have been seeking, I mean, we all
15:54
seek our parents' approval,
15:56
but Mitch would have been seeking it in a
15:58
profound way. Yeah. Never
16:00
got it as a youngster, I don't think. So when
16:03
we meet Mitchell, one
16:05
of the big sort of kind of painful, ongoing
16:08
stories for him is he is
16:11
constantly seeking approval.
16:13
From Jay, we really, we really see
16:15
it laid out in episode seven. So
16:18
seeing your dad's so proud of Manny didn't stir up
16:20
any resentment?
16:21
Mm-hmm. Okay,
16:24
fine, you always do this. Instead of letting your feelings out,
16:27
you bury them. And then they bubble up later
16:29
in hurtful ways. Okay, you know what? Yes,
16:32
all right, listen. I might still be holding
16:34
a little resentment, but that's embarrassing
16:38
and petty and it's not a good
16:40
color on me. It's kind of like you in yellow.
16:43
You love me in my yellow shirt? It makes you look like
16:45
the sun. Okay, bubbling, hurtful
16:48
bubbling. Hurtful bubbling.
16:50
Hurtful bubbling. As
16:52
I was saying, like, Jay
16:55
was, in my mind, undoubtedly
16:57
a homophobe back in the 70s, 80s,
17:01
you know, when Mitch would have been in his formative
17:03
years.
17:04
But what must that be like? I
17:07
guess for both the parent and the
17:09
child, because one of the things that makes
17:11
us sort of warm to Jay
17:13
is that
17:14
he's learning all the time, right? He's got
17:16
this new son
17:19
in Manny who's like a wise
17:21
old man that teaches him a lot
17:23
of stuff about how to treat people. And he's
17:26
got this very young wife who's obviously like, she
17:28
doesn't care if you're gay, straight, she's more
17:30
than woman. So he is learning now.
17:33
But I just wonder where his head
17:35
is at now
17:36
where Mitch's head would
17:39
have been as a child, as
17:41
a teenager especially, and
17:44
how that relationship works
17:46
when there's something fundamental in the
17:48
middle that the two people,
17:50
father and son, feel are
17:52
on opposite sides of the coin. Yeah,
17:54
I think it's really sad, and I think it happens
17:56
an awful lot that parents
17:58
are, even if they're not.
17:59
They say the opposite, they are secretly a little
18:02
bit disappointed that their child isn't more
18:04
like them. And children do
18:07
know it. And they do often,
18:09
and again, I think we've talked about this in different
18:11
permutations,
18:13
children are so keen to impress
18:15
their parents that they will try and kind
18:17
of like fit their round selves
18:19
into a square hole in order to
18:22
get that approval. And it's a bit like
18:25
a plant that is growing in
18:27
rocky soil that has to kind of like divert
18:29
at its course to go round these obstacles.
18:31
So it will still grow, but it will grow at a slightly
18:33
odd angle because it's
18:36
trying to pretend it's something it's not. And I
18:38
think that probably explains a lot of why
18:40
Mitchell is a bit repressed,
18:42
like he keeps saying, why he doesn't let things
18:45
out because it's been a bit dangerous for
18:47
him too, because he's scared that he will be disapproved of.
18:49
Not only has he got Jay slightly disapproving
18:52
of him and preferring Claire, he's
18:55
got his mum who is overly
18:57
enmeshed with him. She's such a big
19:00
personality as well. She
19:02
makes him into a mummy's boy. She
19:04
is quite narcissistic. We can
19:06
see even as an adult, she's using him
19:08
to do her dirty work when she kind
19:10
of has a meltdown at Jay and Gloria's wedding.
19:13
She's
19:13
only there because she persuaded Mitch
19:15
to persuade Jay to invite her. And
19:17
then she persuades Mitch to get her
19:19
invited to a family dinner so she can apologise where
19:22
she then actually has another attack
19:24
on Gloria. So
19:26
he's got this kind of overly enmeshed relationship
19:29
with his mum and this slightly distant relationship with his
19:31
dad. So yeah, you can really see that poor
19:33
lads got nowhere to go really other than say,
19:35
right, I'm just going to do things by the book. I'm going to become
19:37
a lawyer. I'm going to just understand
19:40
what the rules are. I'm going to be controlled because I can't
19:42
control either of my parents. So I'm going
19:43
to control what I can control and be
19:45
very boundaried. Claire must have been really
19:47
important for him as some stage. Maybe
19:51
after he'd come out, late teens
19:54
or early twenties or something like that, she must have been really important,
19:56
which also must have been quite difficult because she
19:58
is so mad.
19:59
She's controlling in a different
20:02
way to Mitch, isn't she? Yeah. But he
20:04
couldn't have found that ace either. No, and I mean, she's sort of
20:06
got the opposite relationship with her parents. She's
20:08
very distant from her mom and very close to
20:10
her dad. So she's like a daddy's girl.
20:13
Yeah, yeah, definitely. And I mean, actually, her
20:15
relationship with her mom reminds me a little bit of
20:17
Monica and Judy Geller, where Judy Geller
20:19
was always criticizing Monica. And
20:23
Dee Dee also criticizes Claire. In fact,
20:25
funnily enough, there was a scene that we looked at in our Friends
20:27
episode with Monica and Judy Geller, where
20:30
Judy's talking about Monica's hair. And
20:32
actually, there's a scene where Dee Dee criticizes
20:34
Claire's hair as well. So clearly, this is like
20:36
the shorthand for critical mothers. Go
20:39
for the hairdo. Hair's
20:41
clearly a way of... There's
20:42
a thing. We're learning something about the writing
20:44
process here. Yes. All right. Well,
20:46
let's take a quick break. And afterwards, we'll have a look
20:49
at Dee Dee and Jay in a bit more detail. And
20:51
why fitting in is so important to Mitch
20:54
while standing out
20:55
appeals to Cam. Plus, how
20:57
to complement each other as a couple rather than be
20:59
polarized. All right. So stay tuned for that. And
21:02
we'll be back after the ads unless you're a subscriber to
21:04
the Take channel, in which case, we'll see you
21:06
soon. Actually, here's a little treat
21:09
for you and a quiz question. Work this out
21:11
during the ad breaks if you can. If you're a proper
21:14
modern family nerd, what were
21:16
the names of Mitchell's childhood
21:18
pets? Hmm.

23:24
on ABC. From executive producers
23:26
of Love is Blind and hosted
23:28
by superstar brothers Kevin and Franklin Jonas, watch
23:31
and play along as these new celebrity relatives

do whatever it takes to keep their famous
23:36
family a secret. Claim to Fame
23:38
premieres tonight, eight, seven central on
23:40
ABC and stream on Hulu.
23:51
All right, we are back. Oh, and
23:53
the answer to the quiz for the super
23:55
fans is that Mitchell had a pet
23:58
snake named Sharjar.
23:59
and a bird named
24:02
Flieserman. Now, there's
24:07
a huge moment where Mitch talks
24:09
about his process of coming out
24:12
to his father. And this is big. You
24:15
are a funny man. Why? Because
24:17
you're completely bothered by the flowers, but when
24:19
my father introduces you as a friend of my son, doesn't
24:22
faze you in
24:22
the least. Because the florist played me for a
24:24
fool. Your dad didn't mean any harm. He's
24:26
just being who he is. When
24:28
I was back east in law school, my
24:31
dad used to call me every Saturday at 6pm. I
24:34
think the Christmas of my second year, I
24:37
finally got up the courage to tell him.
24:41
After that, I pretty much just talked
24:43
to my mom. Don't cry.
24:46
I'm not crying. It's really
24:48
sweet that. One of
24:50
the reasons I like Jay is because I do get that
24:52
sense that he is sort of having
24:55
a basher at changing and
24:57
growing and maturing in his modernizing
25:00
his ideas about the
25:02
world, about worlds that
25:05
he recognizes he doesn't understand. And
25:07
the other
25:08
thing I love about him is he
25:12
seems to sort of really like Cam, you
25:14
know, like in a sort of boy's
25:16
own way, even though Cam is clearly
25:19
gay.
25:20
Far more campy than Mitch. And
25:22
way more camp than his own son. But he
25:24
does sort of have a knockabout relationship with Cam. Cam
25:27
is a fully rounded human being. Like
25:30
we've said before, he's not just the sort of campy
25:32
drama queen who loves Diana Ross. He
25:35
is also somebody who loves football so
25:37
they can watch the match together. He's
25:39
somebody he likes playing squash and they play
25:41
squash together. And they do seem to have
25:43
a genuinely good relationship. But I
25:46
mean, even to the point where I mean, Jay, clearly he
25:48
tries so hard not to be the
25:50
person that he grew up being.
25:53
When he plays squash with Cam, it's very funny. They're
25:55
changing and they're changing and they accidentally
25:56
touch bare bottoms together and
25:59
Chase is coming for life.
25:59
completely freaked out by it. But
26:02
then after the match, he's like, no, I'm gonna go
26:05
for this. And then he thinks Cameron's behind
26:07
him and it's a different bloke. So Jay
26:09
kind of, they touch bottoms again. And
26:11
Jay is like, no, see, I'm not bothered. Look, I'm even gonna
26:14
like rub it a bit. And then he turns around and realizes
26:16
it's not a can. So bless
26:18
him, he does try. But there's a bit as well
26:20
in one of the scenes where Jay actually
26:22
says to Gloria how hard it is to see
26:25
your kid make a fool of himself. I
26:27
think he was really worried for
26:29
Mitch.
26:29
I think when it was sort of kind
26:32
of becoming obvious that Mitch was gay
26:34
and wanting to do the ice skating and having
26:37
pets called Jar Jar Gabor and Fliesa
26:39
Manelli, you can kind of see that maybe
26:41
he was trying to help Mitch by trying to toughen
26:43
him up. So maybe that sort of brusqueness
26:45
and that kind of tough love
26:48
was his way of trying to help Mitch. I
26:50
mean, it was misguided, but he probably
26:53
thought he was doing the right thing. And you can see
26:55
him really trying with Manny to
26:57
be the sort of father that he couldn't be to
26:59
Mitch. Another thing, it's almost
27:01
like an Easter egg is a nice little additional
27:04
element with Jay is that
27:07
he's got a group of old buddies, his
27:09
old drinking buddies. And one
27:12
of them's clearly gay. And he's
27:14
just never clocked it. Yeah. Brilliantly
27:16
played by Chas Parmontari, who
27:18
has an amazing casting in
27:21
comedy terms because he's only
27:23
ever played
27:24
hardcore mobsters. His
27:27
whole career is what he's known for. Italian-American,
27:31
hard man mobsters. So it's really,
27:33
it's an extra little gag that
27:36
he's the gay one of the
27:38
crew and Jay just doesn't
27:40
clock it, which is another nice little
27:42
thing. And you just get the sense that somewhere along
27:45
the line,
27:46
Jay's just gonna be completely accepting.
27:49
Now, how does Mitch feel
27:52
the fact that there is no sort of traditional,
27:55
I know I'm gonna put this in massive inverted comments
27:57
before everyone like kicks me in the nuts
27:59
and runs off. screaming, he's cancelled.
28:02
No mother figure in a marriage
28:04
of two men raising a kid,
28:06
who's also, by the way, female. Yeah,
28:08
well they sort of addressed that elephant in
28:10
the room right from episode one, because
28:12
even before Mitch has announced
28:15
Lily's arrival, he says, oh, I've
28:17
got some big news. Jay says something like, oh, God, I hope
28:19
it's not a baby. A kid needs a mother, which
28:22
does sort of set up so many things
28:24
of, yes, Jay's kind of old-fashionedness.
28:27
But also it is something that Camaritch
28:29
do worry about. At one point
28:31
they take Lily to a pediatrician and
28:33
actually they make one of their slightly racist
28:36
comments about it, because the pediatrician is
28:38
also Asian. I think she's like, she's definitely
28:40
not Vietnamese. But she's not Vietnamese. And
28:43
they keep saying, so what would this be? How would you pronounce
28:46
this in your culture? She's like, I'm from Denver. And
28:48
to kind of make up for it, they invite her around for dinner
28:50
and while she's there and she's holding Lily
28:52
and Lily says the word mummy and they
28:55
can't bear it. And they're like, this is every gay
28:58
father's nightmare. It's a thing that your
29:00
daughter's first word is mummy.
29:02
And is she missing out? And later,
29:04
of course, it's a mix up and it turns out that it's her doll
29:06
that she loves that if you press
29:08
it, it says mummy. So she's learned it from that. But
29:10
they do think, oh goodness, will we be able
29:12
to be
29:13
everything she needs? But of course,
29:16
it doesn't have to be a female character
29:18
that acts as a mum. Of course, a baby wants
29:20
warmth and hugs and love and approval.
29:23
It doesn't have to be a woman that provides that.
29:26
Many people have their dad as their warm
29:28
affectionate, secure attachment figure and their mum
29:30
as the sort of cold disciplinarian,
29:33
even in a traditional family. So yes, two
29:35
men can quite happily bring up a
29:37
baby as long as they're warm and loving.
29:40
So it's the role rather than the
29:43
gender.
29:43
But nevertheless, you know, they are
29:46
concerned about how they present as
29:49
parents.
29:50
They take Lily to playschool
29:52
and Mitch asks Cam to like, sort
29:54
of basically dress less camp, you know,
29:56
because he doesn't want to just be looked at as, oh,
29:59
the gay dad.
29:59
But
30:02
then some other gay dads actually turned up. Yeah.
30:05
Which is amazing. We got a clip
30:07
from that episode. Let's just go.
30:09
Oh, look who's here. Antonin
30:12
Gohler. I'm sorry we're late.
30:14
Don't look at me. The eye candy here. Can't
30:16
leave the house without spending 20 minutes in front of the mirror.
30:20
Are you kidding me? I am
30:22
so sorry. Look at
30:24
those queens. I would have killed with this crowd. But you
30:26
had to clip my wings, which you used to be the wind
30:28
beneath. I know. I'm sorry. This class
30:31
has turned me into a complete monster. I'm
30:33
just... I'll make it up to you. Let's just go.
30:35
Okay. It's time for a parents
30:37
dance. Everybody dance for your baby.
30:44
You want to do it, don't you?
30:47
I do. I want to dance
30:49
for my baby. All right. Go on. Get
30:51
in there. Sure. Make that horsey move. Go
30:54
ahead. Brilliant.
30:57
I love it, man. I love it. It's
31:00
one of those shows where you sometimes check yourself.
31:04
I mean, I'm sure there'll be people listening to this show going, how
31:06
could you have an opinion on, you know, what
31:08
it's like to be gay or as
31:11
a gay parent when you're straight or whatnot. And
31:13
I'm not trying to say I'm an expert on any of
31:15
it. But I think, like,
31:17
as stereotypical, perhaps, as
31:19
some of the things might feel, I feel
31:21
like there's a lot of balance. Everybody
31:23
puts their foot in it in an equal way,
31:26
whether gay, straight, white, black, whatever
31:28
it's about, you know. It's
31:31
all there. And as we've said from probably
31:33
episode one of Shrink the Books, what
31:35
we love about good writing is
31:37
that good writing knows when
31:40
it's showing you something
31:43
that might be problematic, might be
31:45
sexist, might be racist, might be homophobic.
31:47
It knows it's doing it,
31:49
and bad writing doesn't. Yeah,
31:52
because also there's so much more debate
31:54
now about who can play what. And Eric
31:56
Stonestreet who plays Cam is... Yeah, that's
31:58
the one. That's
31:59
what I was saying. Yeah, he did. I mean, I did
32:01
a sort of a unscientific quick-shore
32:03
poll of my gay friends to say,
32:06
how much does it bother you? And all of them said it doesn't bother
32:08
me at all. He's brilliant in the role.
32:10
And because it's a very sensitive portrayal,
32:13
they kind of think that's okay, because
32:16
it was then. Also,
32:17
he's not the only gay character. If I was watching
32:19
a show and it had one black person in
32:21
it, I'd be way more critical
32:23
than if every time I saw
32:26
that black person, there was another black person who was completely different
32:28
in
32:29
the same scene. I'm way more accepting
32:31
there because then I'm like, oh, well, the writers have
32:33
clocked that we don't all just do this
32:35
one thing. Do you know what I
32:37
mean? One of my big things that makes
32:40
my heart bulge with Joy, with
32:42
this show and your analysis of these
32:45
two characters
32:47
is that they really
32:49
clash. Then they find the
32:52
mistakes that they've made within that clash and
32:55
they balance each other out beautifully.
32:57
Mitch has in many
33:00
ways felt slightly ashamed of being who
33:02
he is. And Cam is just so naturally
33:05
himself. And Mitch tries
33:07
to rein him in. We see that with
33:10
the clip we just heard. He tried to make him be less gay
33:13
at Playgroup. And in fact,
33:15
the very first scene where they are introducing
33:17
Lily to the family, we've seen Mitch be all mealy-mouthed
33:20
and a bit
33:21
kind of, oh my God, how
33:23
will my family react? Whereas Cam
33:25
comes in, like, to the music of the Lion King
33:28
and presents her. And
33:31
Mitch says to him, can you just sort of turn
33:33
it off, meaning the music? And
33:36
Cam says, I can't turn it off, it's who I am.
33:40
That's a great line. And that's why I think they're
33:42
so great together. It's like Mitch is always trying
33:44
to say, look, just tone it down. And Cam
33:46
is always saying, I can't, I can't. But actually
33:48
they do tone each other down. Cam encourages
33:51
Mitch to loosen up,
33:53
to dance, to be a bit
33:55
more, yeah, live a little. Exactly
33:57
that. There's another scene that I think shows
33:59
why they work as
34:02
opposites but also as opposites who are
34:04
prepared to change a little bit where
34:06
they accidentally lock Lily in the car.
34:09
And Mitch goes straight into dealer
34:11
mode, right, let's get onto the phone to the
34:13
car company, let's see if they can open this remotely.
34:16
Whereas Cam goes straight into feeler mode
34:18
and like runs around screaming with a bin over his
34:21
head. He picks up a bin that he's going to like throw
34:23
and break the windshield.
34:25
And Mitch is like, no, no, you'll hurt her if you
34:28
do that. In fact, Cam's screaming so
34:30
loudly that the woman at the car plays that
34:32
Mitch is on the phone to says, is your wife
34:34
all right? He's like, that's not a woman
34:36
screaming. So in times of crisis,
34:39
they literally go to their safe
34:41
place. Mitch is going to deal with it rationally
34:43
and get on the phone. Cam is going to deal with
34:45
it as a feeler by screaming and getting
34:47
hysterical. And actually they managed
34:50
to between them, they sort of solve the
34:52
problem. So yeah, opposites attract
34:54
and you can completely outsource the thing that
34:56
you don't want to do. But actually you can also
34:58
gently be nudged and teased
35:01
and slightly pushed out of your comfort zone
35:03
so that you don't have to rely on
35:05
them.
35:06
Also, one of the hidden benefits is
35:08
you don't get that horrible situation
35:10
of like, well, I married this
35:13
guy,
35:14
despite these things that I hate
35:16
about him. But give me like 20
35:18
years, I'll soften those edges,
35:20
I'll change him, I'll get him doing what
35:22
I want him to do, I'll get him to be more like
35:25
me, I'll get him to do things the way I
35:27
want them done. Maybe that's
35:29
one of the great beauties of Cam and Mitch,
35:32
that they allow each other to be different
35:34
and they allow for each other to grow and
35:36
change. Yeah, they really do. I mean, I often
35:39
think that people who are getting together,
35:41
you have to assume if this is the
35:43
worst, if it's never going to get any better, is
35:45
this good enough? Because if you kind of think, oh,
35:48
it will be okay if just as you've
35:50
said, then you're always going to be disappointed if they
35:52
don't change. If you think this is as good as
35:54
it gets, then it can only be a bonus
35:56
if things do change. But
35:58
I think with any of
35:59
these like categorizing people
36:02
into feelers or dealers or like you know introvert
36:04
or extrovert or or you know all the other
36:06
ways that we've looked at contrasting characters
36:09
in other episodes. It's
36:11
not so much saying oh well
36:13
this is who I am and therefore you have
36:15
to accept it and therefore I never have to
36:17
change because then you just get stuck.
36:20
Nor is it about saying oh this is
36:22
who I am and I hate it and I have to go to the other
36:24
extreme and completely shut down those bits of
36:27
me. It's about understanding your
36:29
starting point so that you can know
36:32
how do I optimize these qualities that
36:34
I've got. How do I put them to good use. So it's
36:36
about fulfilling your potential
36:39
really and that might be by
36:41
harnessing the qualities that you do have or
36:43
it might be modifying them a bit. Yeah
36:45
fair enough. All right
36:47
well plenty of life lessons in there for you guys
36:50
out there
36:50
and you guys out there. Thank
36:52
you for keeping your correspondence
36:56

36:58
it. You know what to do just hit us up with
37:00

37:04
This
37:06
week we've got Chris in
37:09
London who says hey Ben and Sash
37:11
thank you thank you for my favorite new podcast
37:14
for a very long time. I'd be fascinated to see one
37:16
of the three siblings from This Is Us on
37:19
the couch. I was a big fan of This Is Us.
37:21
Did you ever watch it? Yeah yeah. It's
37:23
sort of soapy but there is something
37:25
in it. There's definitely something in it and the
37:27
blended family element is interesting too.
37:30
Sorry Chris he says my wife's a social
37:33
worker who's done a lot of systemic family therapy
37:36
and we found the show really engaging. It would
37:37
be fascinating to see what's under the psychological
37:40
bonnet of Randall's character especially.
37:42
He's the black kid who was adopted right and
37:45
with his desire to save the world and
37:47
as a writer performer I'd love to know more about
37:49
Kevin's gravitation towards performing. Also
37:52
if I can chuck in another suggestion it would be one of the
37:54
Simpsons. Yes we did talk about
37:56
that didn't we? Keep up the beautiful
37:58
work from Chris Reid.
37:59
in London. Quick aside on This
38:02
Is Us, the only thing I didn't like
38:04
about it was everybody's ripped.
38:07
Why is everybody ripped? Well, the men
38:09
are. The men, yeah. Like
38:11
Randall, I can't remember what his job was, but
38:13
he wasn't a lifeguard. And
38:16
then he'd just be like stripped to the waist.
38:18
Every episode he'd come down for breakfast, stripped to the
38:21
waist or come off the treadmill. He's
38:24
got like muscles popping out of his shoulders.
38:27
That's unnecessary. Anyway, other than that, I liked
38:29
it. Who's this from?
38:29
Connor. Connor says, Hey, Ben and sash,
38:32
love the podcast, something different. And
38:34
also a great way to find new interesting series
38:36
to watch. Left field suggestion from me,
38:39
Mark Corrigan from Peep Show or indeed
38:41
Jez. Complex characters with a lot to
38:43
unpack over the scope of the show for a sitcom.
38:46
Appreciate
38:46
you usually do one series. Thanks
38:48
from Connor. I think Mark,
38:51
I don't know about Jez, but Mark Corrigan, I would
38:53
love to do. He's an unbelievable
38:55
character that
38:58
the element of him getting married
39:01
out of guilt and embarrassment is
39:04
just unbelievable. Like there's
39:07
something so disturbingly
39:09
British about that moment.
39:11
That needs talking about. That's really fucking
39:14
dark. Anyway, thank you, Connor. Thank
39:16
you, Chris. And thank you to everybody who emailed

40:15

40:17
Box is a Sony Music Entertainment
40:19
production. Now my favorite
40:22
part of the show, the drum roll section, Sasha.
40:25
Who we got next week? Started off on channel
40:28
four, had two seasons, was loved
40:30
by many, but then got dropped. And
40:32
Netflix in their wisdom chose
40:35
to recommission it. It came
40:37
back as Top Boy and the previous
40:40
channel four series was called Top
40:42
Boy, renamed Top Boy Summerhouse
40:44
to distinguish. So they're in sort of in
40:46
two separate chunks. But we're
40:49
gonna look at the first series
40:51
of the later.
40:52
So we're cheating, but not cheating. This
40:55
is season one, sort of marked two. Yes,
40:58
exactly. Of Top Boy. Exactly. So
41:00
it's a little bit confusing. So it's not Top Boy Summerhouse,
41:02
the original one. It's just Top Boy,
41:05
the Netflix version. And the reason we're
41:07
looking at it is because I really like Jamie,
41:10
played by the magnetic Michael Ward,
41:12
who wasn't in the earlier ones. Jamie
41:14
comes into his own in the Netflix version.
41:17
So have a listen to the trailer.
41:19
I know London.
41:22
People pay a lot of money to get high. Dark,
41:25
white, weed, all of
41:27
that. Do
41:30
you get me? Look
41:37
at your makeup. How about this connect? If
41:43
we do this, we're back on top. What
41:47
are you saying? Sorry, it's
41:50
back on Summerhouse, you know. Guess who used to
41:52
live? The Shane Hill.
41:59
They're shutting. They got
42:02
food you know. We're
42:06
back bro. Things
42:09
have changed. I'm running the foods now. Nah.
42:13
Fuck that. Ain't nobody gonna try and travel to
42:15
Summerhouse. Jamie,
42:18
yeah? Maybe give you a piece of advice.
42:23
You're here to get mine. You
42:25
wanna sell food, you sell my food.
42:29
You don't sell nothing at all.
42:36
Yes. It's our very own
42:38
Gangster series. This is like
42:40
a kind of seminal moment for
42:42
me, Top Boy, because you
42:44
know, we often do the, you
42:46
know, get the shooter out of the van kind
42:49
of British gangster stuff
42:51
in the UK. But to have like
42:54
a kind of almost exclusively
42:56
black cast set in Hackney,
42:58
my former stomping grounds where I lived for many,
43:00
many, many years to see all those
43:03
streets that I miss so much. Filled
43:05
with this sort
43:06
of, it's almost like a hyper real drama.
43:08
I know that crazy stuff does go on. Top
43:10
Boy is, you know, it takes it to the
43:13
extremes in a very entertaining fashion.
43:16
But on top of that, to have the
43:18
cast made up of so
43:21
many rappers
43:23
that, you know, I either
43:25
came up with or came
43:28
up admiring like Kano
43:30
and Ashley Waters, who was obviously,
43:33
you know, in the So Solid crew. For those who
43:35
remember that,
43:36
like, these are these are guys that changed
43:38
the game in terms of black
43:40
British music. And then you got, you know, the
43:42
more newer school, like Little Sims is in it. Dave
43:45
is in it. There's like Rap Royalty, UK
43:47
Rap Royalty in this series, which gives it an extra bit
43:49
of intrigue
43:50
for me. But I'm just glad that it's really
43:52
popular, because even though it does have a lot
43:55
of outrageous violence and ridiculous
43:58
stuff happening, I think
44:00
it's cool for kids to
44:02
be able to see just a black
44:04
British series, just unapologetic.
44:07
It's just like, here's a big black blockbuster,
44:09
because we don't get that very often, definitely not in the UK.
44:13
I'm glad you felt like there was something in
44:15
it to dig deeper into, though.
44:17
Oh, I just think they're all such great
44:19
characters, but also you just,
44:21
I mean, it's heartbreaking just to see kind
44:24
of what they were all up against, really. And you get a real
44:26
sense of that echelon
44:28
of society and how
44:31
hard it is to make a living.
44:34
But yeah, all of those amazing musicians
44:36
are such good actors as well. You
44:39
would never know that they had this other
44:41
incredible talent, because they just seem
44:43
to be such natural-born actors
44:44
as well, they're fabulous. Yeah, and Keanu really
44:47
just gets better and better and better as
44:49
we go along, the way he becomes a sort
44:51
of father figure to that little
44:53
squirt that he sort of takes
44:56
under his wing.
44:57
His face is so expressive. He
45:00
says so much. So yeah, we're cheating,
45:02
we're doing season one that is technically
45:05
season three, but not really, it's the Netflix
45:07
season one. Don't miss it, I'll
45:10
be here, Sasha will be here, we'll
45:12
be enjoying it very much, I hope you will too, so we'll
45:14
see you there next
45:16
week. Bye. Tada.
45:22
