What's the Herbert, Sherbert? What's Sherbert? What's the difference between Sherbert and sorbet? Let's get to the good stuff, guys.

63.785 - 70.786 Rebecca (Producer)

I think Sherbert feels like the... Is there dairy in Sherbert? No, there's no dairy in Sherbert, I don't think.

71.046 - 72.566 Unknown

There's no dairy in sorbet?

72.586 - 73.826 Mandy Moore

There's no dairy in sorbet?

74.347 - 79.327 Unknown

I thought about this the other day. Inquiring mind. I saw a Sherbert on the ice cream menu.

Chapter 2: How does Randall's campaign unfold?

313.226 - 315.429 Mandy Moore

Love. Tim Joe. Love Tim Joe. Okay.

320.375 - 340.412 Mandy Moore

J. Juan has got to make an appearance on the show. And this wasn't even me sharing anything with the writers. One of my best friends in life, Dr. Philip Kim... is Korean. We've known each other since freshman year of college. He's been in my wedding. I've been in his wedding. There's like a group of six of us or whatnot. So it was really funny.

0

340.432 - 351.459 Mandy Moore

Like as this storyline was coming up, like all my friends were like, hey, Phil, did you like contribute to the storyline? Did they tell you that they know that you guys are friends? Like there's a lot of excitement in the friend group around this whole thing.

0

351.479 - 357.003 Unknown

So it's pretty awesome. While we're booking guests, Sam, we should also try and get Rob Morgan on here too.

357.184 - 374.74 Mandy Moore

Rob Morgan's outstanding. Outstanding. He's outstanding. Well, let's just go with the sort of the Pearson, Black Pearson storyline first. Sure, sure. Always, always. Right? Randall is still sort of learning, trying to entrench himself in the community, Philadelphia and whatnot. So he's got to go to church.

375.0 - 378.761 Rebecca (Producer)

He picks the blue shirt for church over the white shirt, which I thought was cute.

378.801 - 395.687 Mandy Moore

He picks the blue shirt. Although there was the teal was also a thing. He picks the teal shirt. He picks the teal shirt. He picks the teal shirt. He says blue or white. Yeah. Okay. And she's like, well, what about teal? And he's like, isn't that overdoing it for church? She's like, there ain't no overdoing it for black church. Got it, got it. You're right. Witch! Is true.

395.727 - 410.075 Mandy Moore

Tell me about your black church outfit. I'm going to tell you. Well, I think you probably have more black church outfits than me. I've got a lot of them. My man, Sully, if you guys have not keyed in on his fashion sense. If you have not seen me at black church. It is very much of the black church.

Chapter 3: What challenges do Toby and Kate face?

859.549 - 861.072 Unknown

Sterling as Randall.

861.352 - 862.073 Unknown

863.696 - 865.518 Unknown

So listen, me and my wife are in this restaurant.

0

867.534 - 889.08 Mandy Moore

And Randall starts to clock that like everybody is sort of swarming around Kevin. And he's like, oh dude, like the Manny is like the biggest show in South Korea. And you're like, what? What are you talking about? And so he starts to see like, oh my gosh, I'm in my district. I just got my butt handed to me in church, right? The last week I got my butt handed to me at the barbecue restaurant.

889.56 - 907.767 Mandy Moore

And there's a whole untapped sort of like community of voters. We wind up going back to my campaign office. And he's got the posters up. Kevin's like, oh, it's all official and everything. And I realized that only 25% of registered voters voted last time. And 90% of them voted for Saul Brown.

907.847 - 908.027 Unknown

Yeah.

908.747 - 912.269 Mandy Moore

But there's a whole community of people that didn't even show up to vote.

912.609 - 913.469 Rebecca (Producer)

Didn't even register.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the black church scene?

1373.88 - 1374.26 Rebecca (Producer)

Peanut butter.

0

1374.38 - 1392.812 Mandy Moore

Peanut butter. Yeah, the salted peanut butter. They hit different. David protein bars are different. They're packed with 28 grams of protein. 28. Eight grams of protein. Yeah. Only 150 calories and have zero grams of sugar. And with 75% of their calories coming from protein, they beat every other bar I've tried.

0

1392.832 - 1410.581 Unknown

Yeah. And most protein bars are basically like candy in disguise. Yes. David is not. Come on, David. All right. It's high quality nutrition that fits into real life. And they're available in a variety of fantastic flavors. All of them worth trying. I have literally tried all of them. Yes. And I have enjoyed them all.

1410.681 - 1410.801 Rebecca (Producer)

Yes.

1411.241 - 1440.768 Mandy Moore

That's why I always have David Protein bars with me. David is offering our listeners a deal to buy four cartons and get the fifth free at davidprotein.com slash thatwasus. That's davidprotein.com slash thatwasus to get your fifth carton free. Humans aren't perfect, but David is. David Protein Let's go back to Beth, can we?

1440.788 - 1463.255 Rebecca (Producer)

Let's go back to Beth because as Randall is going to church, the girls sort of come in and they're a little disenchanted that Randall's working and he's campaigning because they have to sell Girl Scout cookies. And Beth is like, well, I can help you guys sell cookies. You know, I don't have a lot on my plate right now and I'm happy to help you. They go try to find a place to sell cookies.

1463.495 - 1469.197 Rebecca (Producer)

She brings them to a grocery store at first and realizes when they get there, there's another troop that's set up

1469.637 - 1470.658 Mandy Moore

Somebody's already working the corner.

1470.678 - 1481.328 Rebecca (Producer)

They're already working the corner. They're working the outside of the grocery store. Spots taken. So they have to pivot, find another place. And where did they end up?

Chapter 5: How do Kevin and Randall's brotherly dynamics evolve?

2296.21 - 2298.834 Rebecca (Producer)

Well, I'll just... You can decide.

She shot up. She shot up. Which is, as I'm watching my sort of middle school boy happen, the girls shoot up. That's when it happens. The girls shoot up pretty fast. So yeah, they're boxing and catching it. Later, Randall tells his dad, dad, you got to teach me how to box. And he's like, what for? And he's like, I don't think your mom's going to like that.

2327.461 - 2330.102 Mandy Moore

He's like, listen, I've been getting bullied by this dude at school.

2330.302 - 2330.662 Chris Sullivan

Dylan.

2330.802 - 2349.507 Mandy Moore

His name is Dylan. And he makes fun of me. He just came in from New York. And I don't want to talk on him because then people say that I'm, you know, ratting him out or whatnot. I just need to learn how to protect myself. I'll only use it if I absolutely have to. But please just show me. Right? And he's like, all right. What are our parental views on this?

2350.387 - 2352.588 Chris Sullivan

What would one do in this situation? Sterling?

3197.593 - 3200.115 Unknown

Toby's what? Toby's depressed.

3205.098 - 3205.379 Unknown

Correct.

3205.739 - 3213.164 Mandy Moore

Yeah. And you sort of see, like, when we left him at the last one, crying over the sink, et cetera, now he's just sort of laid up in bed.

3213.225 - 3213.445 Rebecca (Producer)

Yeah.

3214.105 - 3237.317 Mandy Moore

And you see Kate... try and keep it together and maintain positivity or whatnot. She decides to take Audio for a walk or what have you. Oh, this is what, I love how you had Audio just on your chest. He's just drooped over you. Who's the trainer? Is it you? Is it the trainer? Is it a combination? Like how amenable was the dog? What kind of chicken treat did you have? Oh, I don't even remember.

3237.337 - 3241.979 Unknown

I think Audio and I at that point were pretty well acquainted. You guys were pretty tight.
