Now... I've got a couple of sweet bags of Unkibble. Come on now. Just sitting there in a drawer waiting to be freshly scooped right into their bowls. And I'll tell you what, my dogs, Harry and Sally, that's right. You heard me right. Yeah. They love it. I love that.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Super simple. Honestly, the Unkibble difference, it happened almost immediately. Switching dog foods, for those of you who don't know, is very difficult, but not with Unkibble. The dogs were already on it after like a few days and their digestion is better. Their energy is better. There's less itching going on with, I'm looking at you, Sally.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Everything has just kind of like instantly turned around. It's really great.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Is 15 late for your first kiss?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
That's pretty late. I don't know. First kiss, how old? I guess 14 or 15.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
See? Okay, it's all coming back. No, it's all coming back. Junior high.

That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Is dating. Dating. Yeah. Remember when you used to date? Of course. And it just involved like talking to the person.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Like right after lunch.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
For 10 minutes a day.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Her name was Marisola.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I won't say a last name.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And we kissed at the dance. We both had giant metal braces.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Oh, they did. Sure. Yeah, yeah. It was. And she, we kissed. And then we would kiss at lunch at the lockers. Okay. Right before I go to class, right? And she would wear real dark lipstick with even darker lip liner. Well, I didn't know. And I'd walk into class and my teacher would be like, get out of here. What? Just, just, just lipstick all over this face.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Mandy says every kiss is my first kiss.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
No, come on. You just don't want to talk about it?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
That's right. That's late. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I guess now that I'm an adult with kids, I'm thinking, that's not late enough. Wait a minute, what do you mean 15? College. You're gonna live with me until you're 25. And then after that, you're gonna take me to lunch every day.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Yes, and Jack McGee plays George. Yes. And Jane Daly plays Sally. Jack and Jane. And again, two more legends to the This Is Us cast roster. I think Jack, wasn't Jack McGee a good friend of Dan's?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Can we real quick, before we get too far away from your friend with the Jeep, remember a time when you could be in the middle of kissing somebody and a friend would touch you while it was happening?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
There's just no decorum. None. And you're kissing in public anyways.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And they're like, this close. Hey, are you guys done? Are you finished? Because I have to go. I love it. Go on.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Didn't even kiss. They just knocked tongues together. It was so wet.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Mandy, are you remembering yours at all?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
A personal friend of Dan's from some other project.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Orlando, 1992. It's not 92. Or 98.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
She had a little crutch.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And in the long run, after all of this was said and done, Jack...
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Yeah, I skipped that.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And in the meantime, looking back, like the music that was being played at my junior high dance is like strip club music. Totally. What was happening? Totally. Jesus. Just simulated grind. 13-year-old was backing it up.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And you're like, what? These are 13-year-olds. How old did you ask?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Jack got a lot. Remember? Well, we'll get to that. Yeah.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I got this. All right.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Yeah. Jack was like, Dan, what'd you do to me?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I got to be fast cooking. I can't be slow cooking. I need my meals, like, now.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I thought I was just being friendly neighbor.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And then Dan Fogelman says, yeah, that'll be enough till next week. That's about it.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
To build a home. To Build a Home. This is the song we've been talking about for a few episodes now by the cinematic orchestra featuring... Patrick Watson or something?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
This is an orchestra, obviously, that does mostly instrumentals. And I looked on this album, but this is the only song on this album with vocals. And it is one of the most evocative songs I have ever heard. And to this day... Same.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
It's Super Bowl Sunday.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I almost, I will say for the, for the sake of overstatement, never has a song done so much for a moving picture and moving picture done so much for a song. It is the perfect synchronicity.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And it's probably Dan Fogelman, right. I'm sure who found this song. The man just has impeccable taste in music. Yeah. Um, and we go through this montage of the, of the house.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
A mess.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I know a season and a half of television would lead you to believe that I am, but I am not.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Correct. You talk a lot about the chili.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
That's not why they were laughing. They weren't laughing about what was wrong with this guy, Sterling. They were laughing because it was a funny joke.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Sterling, how dare you?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Again, I didn't write me this way.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I beg to differ.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
This is all.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
To be clear as to what chili gets cooked in.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Oh, Jesus. No, it's something that he does to pass the time. It's kind of a, he pictures himself a dog owner. He knows, he even says, I know that dogs are a tricky subject for you, but it's something that I blah, blah, blah. I mean, I have this in my life.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Do you have anything in your life that it's not social media related, say, that is like a little like online habit that you're like, because for me, it's real estate.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I will be like, you know, I visited Rachel's grandpa in Quincy, Illinois once. I wonder what the real estate market in Quincy, Illinois is like. Oh, insane.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Yeah. I'm a Trulia guy. Okay. Not paid advertisement. Not yet. But one of my favorite pastimes is to go, especially since the LA market is so overblown, is to go to a small town like Quincy and see what the most expensive house is. I can see that. In Quincy, Illinois.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
It's a fun game. Pick a small town. Yeah. And find the biggest house. And that one in particular was great. Was it? You guys, on a mountaintop, a stone house.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Made of like a big block stone. Looked like a castle on a mountaintop. Yeah.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Like recent.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Like 20 years old.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Quanto cuesta? How much? Hold on. Okay. 10 bedrooms. 12 bathrooms. What? ! Four car garage. 10 acres. You want us to guess first? I do want you to guess. Quincy, Illinois. How much do you think it was? How far is Quincy from Chicago?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Biggest major city is Hannibal, Missouri. Cross the- Nope. I'm from Missouri. We flew into St. Louis. And then we took a puddle jumper to Quincy. Okay. This was maybe four or five years ago.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
You guys, we live in the wrong city. Anyways, so that's what I do online when I'm like bored, I'm looking at things.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Are you in Quincy, Illinois?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
It must be off-market at this point.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I think so. I think that's what I remember, yeah. Yeah, I like my age.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Do you guys have any shame around your mindless internet behavior? Like when someone sees you doing it, you're like, oh, hey, no, I'm not doing anything. Or is it, or do you indulge?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And so Toby's been fantasy shopping for dogs.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
She's like, this is the first thing he's been excited about that's not sex.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
In the entirety of the time that I've known him.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And it instantly made us like an HBO show. It comes on and you're like, oh, we just leveled up.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
No, she comes home and says, listen, I know that this seems like it means a lot to you. Yeah. I've thought about it. Dan and the writers give a little bit of a head fake, like it's not going to happen. Right. And then she says, but I did.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
It makes a day of shooting difficult. And our writers just kept adding more children and more pets. Yep. At every turn. How was this dog? This dog was great. This dog was great. This dog was well-trained. I cannot remember the dog's real name. Okay.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
That's right. Wait a minute. He didn't stay? After the pandemic, we came back, and audio had just gone.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
But never addressed. We can't. Yeah, well, he refused to wear a mask. And so the writers were like, well, then, kick rocks.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Hey, I have an idea. What do you got? You should get an Airbnb.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Hotels can be fine.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
But nothing beats having a full place to yourself, especially when traveling with a family.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Like yours or a group. Now there's no fighting over who gets the last hotel key card or squeezing into one room with all your Bags everywhere. God. And don't get me started on those tiny hotel mini fridges. Don't start. Not enough room.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Hand me the hat. Can you reach it? Yeah, I can reach it. We'll put it out front. So there it is.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
So if you've got an upcoming trip or you just want to make the most of your space you're not using, consider hosting on Airbnb. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb.com slash host.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
tell them this thing because uh sully has dogs too yeah i've got a couple dogs i was watching the scene and i saw when audio goes to give the doggy kiss so there's a little bit of like okay he sort of like pulls back a little bit the trainer we're like okay how do we do this oh and by the way none of the writers asked either chrissy or i hey you guys allergic to dogs are you yes
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
We have hypoallergenic dogs, hypoallergenic breeds. But even still, I'm a little allergic to them.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
You know, if I really get in there and . You don't do that with your dog. I told you guys, I'm still learning.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I heard someone say that dogs are here to teach us how to die. Yes. Did you say that on this podcast?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Existence and passing.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Because if you asked anyone on the street, if you showed them a single clip of you or they know anything about you, you'd be like.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
You'd be like, yeah. This guy is.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Is a retriever. The energy. He really is.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Were you gonna finish? I wanted to tell you the dog kiss. The dog kiss, that's where we were. The trainer, so Kate and Toby get a dog about as quickly as Chrissy and Chris realize they're gonna be working with a dog for the next however long. And we're like, okay. Nobody thought to like check if...
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Yeah. Or if, like I used to be deathly allergic to cats. Like I used to be, if I went to your house and you opened the front door, I would know if you had a cat. I'm like that. Standing on the front porch. I'm a little like that.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I'll take as I take before. Yeah. Anyways, we love it. The dog's there. He's very cute. We're into it. Yeah. Trainer's like, and if you want, you know, you can just put like a little, if you have like a little bit of, tuna fish or something you just put it on your fingers or have a little and just the scent.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
No, because I don't like tuna. And I was like, but I'll have a bite. And it's like, and his focus will be on you no matter what.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I was like, okay, great. So when I pick him up in the shot, I look at him and I think this dog is just going to look at me because it's a very well-trained dog.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And I think he's just going to be like looking at me. Right. And dog just comes in for a straight up Tanya. Yeah. And it was messy and wet.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I was like, that's not Chris's thing. Because the camera was rolling. So I was like, well, it could be Toby's thing. And I'm like, but it doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to be. I decide what Toby's things are.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I did have a little bit.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
He had a bite too.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
But yeah, halfway through, I'm like, I'm not doing this. Okay. Because as soon as, if this becomes pop, if the director's like, that was great, they're going to be like, can we do that thing you did the first time?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Black people- I like a doggie, a lick on the nose.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
I don't need your tongue in my mouth, dog.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
First of all, how dare you? How dare you?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And that's that storyline. R&B, because we're going to run out of time.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
She knows how to do this.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Has Kevin already showed up at this point?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Staying busy. And to be helpful.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Not as well trained as the dog.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
They want an original song. An original song, right?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
It's dumb. It's dumb. There's a sense memory in the writing that never leaves the characters. So they never get disjointed. Like the writer never forgets what has happened or has been said in recent, if not all of history.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Absolutely.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
One of the great kind of, in my opinion, injustices in our industry for anybody listening to the podcast now who may have watched the show who would never follow stuff like this, but in six seasons of television, the writing for this television received one award. Well, this is true. There was one writer who got an award for a script.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
But she has an NAACP Award.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
And she has two more awards than any other writer on the show. There you go. Which is, in my opinion, one of the greatest injustices of the running of the show.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
When you were directing, were you like, how are they going to do it? Same. I was like, what do you lose?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Lena, we'll get to you in a second.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
She had to make sure that you were the first one to stand up.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
He was the second person to stand up.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
As we rewatched the show, we've realized that our show is populated by legends yeah and and yourself included when when i re-watched this episode i was like that's right lena wave came and did an episode of our show yeah that's ins that's insane insane everything that was going on in your life at that moment and my knowledge of you You were like a legend out of the gate for me.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
As soon as I saw you, I was like, this is it. And I know you just mentioned you studied writing production at Columbia, right?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
That's right. And you've been running The Chi for seven seasons. Seven seasons. Congrats. Thank you. At what point... Because this I don't know in my knowledge of you. At what point did acting, performing, also become part of the game for you?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
It turned out to be one of my favorite shots of the whole show. It's a great shot. The evocative nature of a father. kind of doting on his daughter, him in the mirror. Like they use it a couple of times now in like montages and things after we see it for this first time. And it's really, it affects me a lot, yeah.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
What? The comeback of the comeback.
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
So then you stopped doing movies after that?
That Was Us
A Change of Heart | "That'll Be The Day" (S2E13) | with special guest Lena Waithe
Anyways, Lena, it's been nice talking to you. Thanks for coming on. No, no, no, you're great. Everything you do is great. Cool, cool, cool.

We rarely get, they mentioned it a couple episodes previous where it's like, I wish somebody would have filmed our childhood. Yeah.
