A.I. (artificial intelligence) is being employed in so many areas of life today, but what about in weather forecasting? The concept is not new for Alex Levy. He has been working on refining how A.I. can make forecasting far more accurate than using traditional numerical modeling. He co-founded ATMO, a company in SanFrancisco that has been developing this method for almost five years. He is my guest today. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrebernier/support

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are joined by WFSB morning show anchor, Nicole Nalepa, to discuss season 3 of "The Morning Show." In this season we see a different Alex Levy and discuss if people with narcissism can change. We get to see Cory's mom which gives us such great information for answering the age old question of nature versus nurture. Bradley and her brother continue to give us strong family dynamics to discuss and we finish up with the impact of power and money on a person's personality. Nicole answers all our questions about what goes on behind the scenes at a morning show (like what time she wakes up and if she does her own hair and makeup). Nicole also shares how she practices self care while covering traumatic stories and events. We hope you enjoy!

Dr. Katrina Furey: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. Dr. Katrina Furey: And your DSM Five and enjoy. And welcome back for another episode of Analyze Scripts. I'm Dr. Katrina Fury. Of course, I have my friend and colleague Portia Pendleton here and we are so excited to welcome a very special guest, nicole Nalapa, who is the anchor of Connecticut's number one morning newscast, Eyewitness News in the Morning, and the co host of WFSB's newest lifestyle TV show, great Day at Nine A. She came to WFSB in December 2013 and has been waking up Connecticut every weekday morning since. She wears many hats at channel three. Her newest role began in September 2022 when she was named the co host of Great Day at Nine A. Alongside Scott Hanley. She also hosts the weekly franchises, including Family Friday, What's Going On, the Bright Spot, and Three Things You Need to Know. And when you don't. She also has a podcast called Mommyhood Unscripted, which is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, where she tackles some of the biggest topics and least discussed issues surrounding motherhood, which, as a reproductive psychiatrist, I totally love. She's a mama, too and takes listeners along for the ride. And before coming into Connecticut, she did a whole bunch of things. She worked in Springfield, she did a lot of live on scene reporting, she had an Emmy winning newscast aired on CNN, and she also spent several months at CBS in New York, interning for the evening news with Katie Couric. Is that right? Nicole Nalepa: Yes, that's right. Dr. Katrina Furey: So we are so thrilled that she's here, a, because she's super cool, and B, because we're talking about one of our favorite shows, the Morning Show season three. And this is just, like, so exciting to talk to someone who's actually on a morning show, right? Like, I'm just dying to hear what is that? Like, how do you wake up so early? Do you like getting your hair and makeup done every day? Is it like the kardashians where you sit there on your phone and they're just fluttering around you? Do you do your own investigative work? What do they get? Right? Basically, I want to know all the things. Nicole Nalepa: Well, thank you so much, ladies, for having me on your podcast. I'm so excited to be here. And, yeah, it is exciting to talk about a show that has to do with this industry because so often I always say to my coworkers we have had so many laughs and so many funny moments and also emotional moments both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. So I always say this would make a great reality show but it's hard to right? Because in the news industry you need to be as unbiased as possible. But I swear we are real human beings. We go to the bathroom, we do everything else that you guys do. Dr. Katrina Furey: No way. Nicole Nalepa: But no, it was fun. I loved in The Morning Show came out, I was really excited. And of course, I Have to Admit, I Had a very hypercritical eye, too, because whenever you see I mean, obviously the process of how things happen, but whenever you see people who are trying to portray anchors or reporters, you have that anchorman like, Good Morning, San Diego. And that was the one thing when I Got Into business, I look back at my Old reels and old clips and stuff when I First Started out, and I said, oh, little Nicole, she was trying to be older and tried to get that news voice, and we were all feeling it out. Everyone does when you're starting out in the business. But I remember at Some point, something clicked. I think it was when I got here to Connecticut. At that point, because I had a few reps in, in Springfield, I was actually hired as a traffic anchor. Technically, here in Connecticut, I was going to be a reporter. But then their traffic anchor was leaving, and then they said, hey, you should work with this guy, Scott Haney. You know, the guy that ate cat vomit off the bottom of his shoe, alive on air. And I'm like, what? Well I've never heard of this guy but he know the most beloved meteorologist and on air talent probably in the state of Connecticut. I had no idea of his legacy until I got here from Massachusetts and I said wow, now I get know this is like the magic and at that know, doing traffic it was all ad living. I didn't have a teleprompter so I really had to think on my feet and working alongside him he's so zany and crazy and unpredictable in the best way possible and definitely in an unconventional news way. I would say that nothing is rehearsed, nothing is fake even in the newsroom excuse me, in the morning show and the newsroom, that's another great show too. They also have those fake laughs you see they're trying to elicit those emotions but they schedule it in I remember saying to myself I never want to fake anything. I don't want a news anchor voice, I just want to be me and it's work. Dr. Katrina Furey: That's so cool. Tell us a little bit about your take about the morning show like what it's getting right, what it's getting wrong? Nicole Nalepa: Yeah well so the morning show, that's from a network standpoint so that's big time right. That's new York. You're seeing all of these operations. There's a job for everything. There's a person behind the camera, there's a person that's running scripts. There's a person that's running you scripts. There's someone what was it? The anchor producer. Right. Someone's set to just produce the anchor. Dr. Katrina Furey: There's someone there's a junior and a senior one. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah. There's a big hierarchy. Yes. The booker. I wish we had a booker here on a local level, local TV news. It is quite the opposite. And just by way of we basically do five different jobs. That's just kind of how we've adapted into this industry, provided it's changed over the years. Like the that was definitely the heyday of before the World Wide Web really took charge and came through. And these phones, too, right. Have changed the way we get our news. So there were more bodies, I would say in, but I don't know even if you could see in our studio here, I'll turn you around, but we have robotic cameras. We don't have camera guys in our studio. We have literally a system that will tell the camera where to zoom in and who to zoom in on. So we don't have camera guys like the morning show. But obviously in New York, at CBS News, when I was interning there, they have camera that was that was accurate, I would say. And seeing the process. Right. And when breaking news comes in and how they're all kind know, just huddling up really quick. Yeah. How are we going to figure this out? We got to get it on. We got to get it on. That's very accurate. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey: How do you wake up so early? Nicole Nalepa: So that's one thing I love, seeing the morning show and how they portray the alarm clock. Right. They're always like and trying to hit. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Snooze and they have to get out of bed. Nicole Nalepa: And I love the shots. Right. The close up shots of them trying to put their shoes in the slippers and making their coffee. And that's very accurate as well. I think to work on a morning show, to some degree, you have to be a morning person. Whether you feel like you're a morning person or not, to some degree, you have to there are some people that can do it, probably, and some people that can't. Some people are more night owls. I worked overnight when I started in the business, and then when I came here to Channel Three, I ended up my shift was shifted. So I think I was working four to twelve when I first started here and then shifted back. And I don't know, to me, going from overnights to getting up early in the morning, I actually got to sleep finally, like when everyone else sleeps, when it starts out. So that was an upgrade for me. It's still tough, though. My alarm goes off at 230, so no 330 alarm like Alex Levy or. Dr. Katrina Furey: Bradley jackson extra hour of sleep. Nicole Nalepa: Wow. Yeah. And she probably has a driver, too. Most networks, they have a driver. They send a car and they drive you to the station. No, I'm driving myself. And I'm doing my own hair and makeup, too. Dr. Katrina Furey: No, it looks great. Yeah, you're really good at it. Nicole Nalepa: Thanks. That's another thing, another little myth I'll dispel. So we don't have any makeup or hair artists. Most local news stations do not. I think New York may still have hair and makeup. Maybe La. And I don't even know if Chicago does anymore. When I was interning in Boston about I mean, this is a little while ago now, but they didn't have hair and makeup. You that was, I think, probably one of the big expenses to go. Dr. Katrina Furey: That takes skill to do on air quality hair and makeup that's different from your everyday hair and makeup. Nicole Nalepa: It is. Dr. Katrina Furey: That's expecting a lot of you to be able to do that and be a journalist. Nicole Nalepa: I call it your clown makeup. I'm like, I have my clown makeup on stronger. Right? Exactly. Because these lights are very bright and you don't want to get washed out, but that's a skill. We do have these image consultants, most stations do, where they'll say, hey, this shade looks really good on you. And they'll show us some makeup tips and just recommendations, which is really helpful. Right. Because it's accentuating the parts right. And the features in your face. So I've learned over the years from multiple consultants at my stations, and it's been really helpful. But you have to have a thick skin, too, because you're looking at your face really early in the morning every day. And I learned that my face is not symmetrical like I always thought it was when I drew myself portraits in school. Dr. Katrina Furey: I think it's pretty rare to have a symmetrical face. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey: But I also appreciated that they were really honing in on how early the characters wake up, because that is hard. I remember in my residency training, doing, like, 24 hours shifts, night shifts, shifting between night shift and day shift, it was so hard on your body. It's just like your circadian rhythm isn't meant to do that. And I remember working overnight in the Er, and it was like, every night right around 03:00 A.m., I would get so cold and tired and hungry, and I had some senior attending tell me, like, well, yeah, your cortisol level drops around this time, so naturally you want to kind of hibernate. And so just thinking about you and watching the show, I'm like, It must be extra hard to wake up at that time. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah. I think before kids, I made it work and didn't get a lot of sleep. And then when I became pregnant, and then after my second pregnancy, I'm like, oh, God, I wasn't sleeping at all. That was the hardest I've ever experienced. So I appreciate my sleep now more so than I did in my 20s, when you remember being in your twenty s and just we can ride this out. We'll catch up on the weekend. I can take a nap when I get home. Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. Well so one thing that we thought would be interesting and portia, please chime in. Is, again, one thing that we or I find myself often telling my patients these days. I would say kind of always, but especially since 2020 with COVID and the election and the social unrest in our country and everything going on, we would talk a lot about limiting your news consumption to help limit how much traumatic material you were being exposed to that you're already thinking about throughout the day. And even, like, our diagnostic manual called the DSM, the way they define PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder, changed from version four to version five, which actually came out many years before 2020. But they adjusted it so that people who before then, you had to actually experience the trauma directly to be able to be diagnosed with a trauma disorder. Now they've changed it. So you can either experience it directly, witness it, like, via bystander, or experience it vicariously. And I believe that was done in part to capture a whole lot of other people who are being traumatized. And I know especially, like, in my training, we talked a lot about people in certain professions, like police officers, firefighters, journalists, newscasters, photojournalists, who are like, in the thick of it, like, we see Andre in season three. But I was wondering if you could kind of speak to that, because I feel like you can't limit it. You are reporting on it, and I just think that's got to be so hard. And I wonder, how do you guys take care of each other? How do you take care of yourselves? Is that talked about in the field? Is anyone looking out for you guys in terms of your own mental health? I feel like I hope so. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah, that's a great question. And I think that that's probably a question we don't always get. We always get the what time do you wake up in the morning? But of course, when we think of the serious and the more traumatic things that we cover, we don't always want to go there asking people those questions. Right. But I am so happy to answer that. I can only speak, obviously, from my experience, but from what I have experienced in covering some traumatic stories in particular, actually, the one that comes to mind when you were talking about this is the Boston Marathon bombings. I was there, maybe less than a mile from where they ended up finding the brother underneath the boat that was hiding at the you know, from the moment the bombs went off at the finish know we were wall. To wall coverage, obviously from up until when I got a call in the middle of the night from my news director at the time saying, we're sending you to Watertown. And that's where the staging area is. The brothers know, throwing Molotov cocktails at everyone. And it was just such a scary time knowing, like, okay, well, this is my job and I'm going into it. And I remember sitting at the kitchen table that night and going, I'm going to let my parents know where I'm headed now, because we really didn't know what we were going into. I remember I had my insurance card and really quick before I left in the middle of the night, which, I mean, I was in my mid 20s, little over prepared, I guess I was thinking a little bit ahead, god forbid something were to happen, but you don't know. Yeah, it's very scary. And I remember when the movie about the Boston Marathon bombings came out. I still to this day, haven't seen it. And I'm from I just I feel like I've been there. I lived through it, know, to experience, know what it was like. I don't really want to see a Hollywood adaptation to watch it, but I think that it is so important to keep your mental health in check. That was kind of something for me at the time. That's how I was keeping things in check. I didn't want to expose myself to something that maybe wouldn't make me feel happy watching and reliving again. Right. So I think that in this business, overall, we compartmentalize because that's kind of how you do survive. Some of those tough stories when you're doing those doorknocks, those awful stories where a mother has just lost her child or just awful. I mean, the list goes on. And I think that we tap into a place where we get the facts and we do our darndest to deliver everything that we know and what information is going to help the public. And then I think what you do with that when you go home is really like the ultimate test there. So, for example, with the pandemic, the start of season two on the morning show when they were taking the drone image, my husband and I, he used to be in the news business, too. He was behind the scenes and we both looked at each other and I'm like, I don't want to watch this right now. I love this show. We loved it. And I'm like, I just can't watch it right now. For everyone in their right, that makes me feel so good because I said, what's wrong with me? I love this show. I know that. It's okay. We're here right now. We're okay. Dr. Katrina Furey: Why don't I good grounding, Nicole. Nicole Nalepa: Good grounding. I try, but yeah, I think it's just important to listen to what's not going to make you feel good in your own time, because that's your time, right. And that goes for any job, right? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Totally. Dr. Katrina Furey: I don't know if any workplaces talk about it enough. Like, I know I only know my own experience in medicine, where you're working in the ICU and there's really sick people. You're giving awful news. People are dying. There's codes, and then you just go to lunch, and then you go to the next one. And then even within medicine, there's not a lot of room for, like, who you just witnessed a lot. How are you going to process if there isn't a lot of modeling or anyone kind of checking in? I think, and I hope that that culture is changing. But as I think about that, of course, as a psychiatrist, I'm always thinking about these things. I wonder about other fields and the news in particular. I can never watch the news because every time I turn it on, it's like, happy, happy shooting. Happy, happy fire. It's just like it catches me by surprise. So it's hard. And I just always wonder about when that's your job. That's just got to be hard. And I hope your field also emphasizes that, or is starting to. Nicole Nalepa: I've been very blessed where I've worked for news directors who have checked in on us when we have covered horrific stories, offering support if anyone needs counseling. We've had even comfort dogs that have come in through. I wasn't here in Connecticut when the Newtown the Sandy Hook shootings happened, but I was at Springfield at the time, but I wasn't sent there. I was producing that newscast and anchoring, but I know my husband was sent there as a photographer to cover that. I also know that the photographers here at Channel Three, they were offered anything that they need, any kind of services, because, great, well enough, we don't even need to mention what that can do, right. For anyone who experienced it on any kind of end directly, indirectly. So that is definitely mental health is, I think, like you said, definitely something that's coming to the forefront more. I think the pandemic really opened it up for people who may not have realized that they've been affected by things. Dr. Katrina Furey: We all that trauma, right? Nicole Nalepa: Exactly. It was such a shared collective experience. So I think one of the things that I did to kind of ground myself, because it got to a point where all we were doing right, because everyone was home, nothing was going on. We were just reading the numbers, too, recording what was going on from that standpoint. So there you were, right, like, in the ICU and the medical front of things, seeing the people die, and then we're getting the numbers to report it. So we were, like, both working from different angles, which is crazy when you think about it, right. But we were informing people and helping people in a way. And just with all the heaviness, just that these kinds of things bring, I wanted to create something positive. So I created this segment at the time that was born out of the pandemic called the bright spot. It was all about trying to focus on, okay, let's take a moment now and see what good is going on. This is awful, but what is going on? What good is happening? Anything from the little kids doing these drives or sending messages to the healthcare workers? Everything. There were so many amazing stories, so that kind of helped ground me, too. At least that hard news time as well. And that was like my little baby. And every day I worked really hard to turn out the best positive stories that I could find here in the States. So that was really cool. I hope I'm answering your questions. Dr. Katrina Furey: Definitely. And I think that's so important that, again, it reminds me of the Mr. Rogers quote that, you know, in times of suffering, look for the helpers. Even when things are atrocious, you can find a glimmer somewhere. It can be harder at certain times than other times. But if you can try to find that and hold on to it without forgetting what's going on right. Without repressing that or ignoring it. But you need that as a human to kind of soldier on. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah, absolutely. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And we see kind of a tragic way in which Hannah from season one was not given help and her helper ended up being harmful. But I thought it was beautiful. In season three, in one moment, they all kind of got together and were, like, meeting in the and I was like, oh, why? And then they were all kind of sharing a moment of tribute to Hannah. And I was, you know, that family kind of aspect of being a team in the newsroom, the all of the people who were kind of connected with her. I thought that was just like a really nice moment that they kind of continued to bring her story through season three. Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, I was really glad they showed that. And I think, too, with season three, as we sort of transition into talking about that with Nicole. I didn't love season three, I'll be honest, as much as the first two. And I kind of felt like the plot was really similar to succession with the big, rich, fancy tech guy coming in and then all the shenanigans with the shareholders and the board meetings and all the stuff I don't understand. Still great. Love it. But I thought it really spoke to the importance of the news being neutral and for people being able to trust and rely on the news to get their information and how that is something I think, even with all the discourse about TikTok and what's shown on TikTok versus what's shown on your TV. And how do you figure out who to trust and what happens when Elon Musk buys you know, this tech giant buys the news? It really got me thinking. Really? I hadn't really thought about that in any great detail. So it was really interesting commentary on all of that this season. Nicole Nalepa: I like seeing Don Draper. Dr. Katrina Furey: I know. Nicole Nalepa: I love him. Dr. Katrina Furey: Jen Aniston. I was like, they're just beautiful. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I really like the couple like themselves. I was like, they are a good match. Nicole Nalepa: I know. I love to see them. Wow. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah, it was great. Like casting. Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, for sure. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So what do you think about because they talked a lot about streaming in season two and three. As right is really on streaming. He believes in it. He wants the streaming service for, like what's it been like for you guys? Kind of navigating having Instagram TikTok even like Facebook. I do follow WFSB. I really quickly love you and Scott Haney. My mom's very excited today that I'm talking to know it's just been a huge shift with news, and I think you guys do a great job. But I imagine the transition after transition, first with COVID like filming at home wearing masks, like having visors up and then having to do more reels, how I think of them on social media. Dr. Katrina Furey: What'S that been like for you guys. Portia Pendleton LCSW: As it compares to the morning show or just in general? Nicole Nalepa: Yeah, I think in general, just with anything, technology changes things, and you got to keep up with things. And as we saw Right in the morning show, how Corey kept pushing, we got to go to streaming, we got to go to UBS Plus. And he was upset, right. That they waited on that. I definitely think the pandemic, just generally speaking with this industry as a whole, we realize that we can do a heck of a lot more on our phones, right. We can stream live and report live from wherever we are. We have capabilities to do that. Like you said, social media, the Facebook live stories, that was huge, right? Doing all of those live stories. And it's so interesting to see this industry shift again. And it's exciting in the sense that we're keeping up with things. We definitely have our pulse on what's new, what's the latest, what's going to reach people, what's going to help people. It means that there's a lot less downtime, not like there was any downtime before. You go into work every day and it's a brand new day. That's what I loved about this industry. Unless if you're working on a special sweep story or something or like a feature story, it's not the same day after day after day, right. Every day is different. Every story is different than the day before, even if it's an update to a follow up to a story. So I think that this has helped continue the dialogue of stories. So when we have what's on air and then we switch to streaming, it's kind of keeping things going and the dialogue going on stories, and it's making sure that viewers know that, hey, we haven't forgotten about this. We're still asking those questions and we're still following up on it right now, so it's not as much of a to be continued dot, dot, dot. It's kind of like, all right, here's what's new. Here's what's happening now, and here's what's happening next. This is the latest that we have at this point in time, and we're busy doing that with all the streams and stuff. To answer your question, I think that it's giving people what they want. And when you think of all the younger generations, now most of them are getting news from their phone more often than not. So if you want to stay relevant and you want to put the important information out there that people need when they wake up in the morning, that's the way to do it. Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. That is a lot, though. It's like you're always on. Right. That was one thing this show really captures, is, like, whenever the news breaks, all right, it's time. We got to go figure it out, no matter what's going on. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah. I always say I feel like I'm always in transit, but I always had this personality before I got in this business, so I think I was attracted to that, and it was a great fit for me. Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, a lot of adrenaline. Nicole Nalepa: Yes. I always succeeded in chaos, always from a young age. Dr. Katrina Furey: I get that. Nicole Nalepa: So. Yeah, I like that. I like that adrenaline rush. I like being able to help deliver important stuff. And I think that there's such a huge responsibility that comes with that. Because like I was telling you before about the anchor voices and stuff, you have such a huge responsibility delivering certain stories to the people and in a way where you have to be an empathetic person if you really want to reach people. And if you're really feeling it, you just got to say it from the heart when you do it. You know what I mean? I almost, like, in a way, I wanted to reclaim that when I got in this business, too, because it's so hard. What am I trying to say? We grew up watching news anchors and stuff, and then Anchorman comes out, the movie. Right? Will ferrell love it. But it's like, I want I just want people to feel like we're just talking to them, and there's no ego. There's no coming up today. I don't want that. Dr. Katrina Furey: The anchor voice? Nicole Nalepa: Yeah, because people are letting you literally into their homes every day. You're part of their routine. And I have to be honest, I don't really think about that. Like, when we stare into the camera, I'm not thinking about how many people are on the other side of that lens. I'm literally just, like, talking like I would talk to my mom or to a friend hanging out with my coworkers. It's a very surreal experience, and I realize it's a very wild job to have, and one I guess I don't think as much about. Obviously, I know what I do. And I know it reaches people, but I don't think I understand the extent and how impactful it is. Sometimes until I see a viewer, like when I'm at the grocery store or someone, they'll be like, hey, Nicole. And I'm like, oh, hi. I don't know that person's name. And then I'm like, oh, wait, they probably watch on is like it's still a novelty, I guess, in a way, to me, it's also got to be. Dr. Katrina Furey: Like a skill to be able to talk to a camera like a robot cameras in such a personable way. Right. Even if there's a camera man or woman behind it, there's a human. So I feel like that's just a really interesting skill to have. And I wonder if you can comment at all about one thing that I think Portia and I were thinking might be similar between therapists and newscasters is you would tell us if we're wrong, but it seems like we see in the Morning show bradley can have a hard time. I mean, she does a good job, but you know her, right? And like, sometimes I think it seems like the network wants her to be more neutral or not talk about certain things or keep it here, don't go there. And I feel like as therapists, at least in our role, it's really important to maintain a sense of neutrality, especially when you're helping your patients navigate COVID or the 2020 election or the January 6 riots. How do you maintain that neutrality so they feel open to talk to you? That's different from what you do. But I wonder if you can comment at all about what that's like to comment on such charged things, and if the morning show your opinion about how they're portraying that. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah, it is nice to see the extreme example of someone in this industry, what it would probably look like when struggling with that. You see that internal conflict play out outside. Even on her face, you can really see it. Whereas Alex has a better job at just holding things together. Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. Nicole Nalepa: I remember her saying, actually, like, I do something control. This is what I do really well. Dr. Katrina Furey: Like damage control or what? Nicole Nalepa: This is what I'm meant to do. I'm great at doing damage control. She's good at reeling it in. So you see the two extremes. I think that at least what helps me in those situations. Because at the end of the day, we all have opinions on things, whether or not we make them vocal or not. But I think that just like any job, it's almost like we took this unofficial oath mentally to do this public service and acknowledge that there are going to be people who are on both sides of the aisle and a lot of people who are unsure too. And your job is to not do anything from where you're standing to move their point of view. You just have to stick to the. Dr. Katrina Furey: Facts to the facts. Nicole Nalepa: Exactly. I know I wouldn't want someone swaying me, trying to sway me one way if I'm turning on the television, and that's what those editorial shows are for. The news is so different. You just literally stick to the facts and also make sure that both sides are reflected in a story, which is also so important, too, because you have to get both sides of it. Even if someone isn't going to comment on the story, you have to let the viewers know that you tried to get their comment and they wouldn't return our calls. You might hear that in some news stories. Portia Pendleton LCSW: There's a moment at the end of season three where Chip is, like, making this on air live after he's let Go statement about why Mark's, like, shouldn't buy the network and what the risks are and what I really liked. And again, it feels really relevant just to and this is how we fact check and we get the alert. We call the police officers in this random town. We get the statement from them, then. Dr. Katrina Furey: We go there and then we fact. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Check on this way. Dr. Katrina Furey: And it's like we do this whole. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Thing just to get the story, just to be able to promote it. And it's like, I think so many people for the show, the morning show, I never realized that the 40 people yes, it's a big show, all behind the scenes, doing all this work overnight, getting everything right and it's so important. I love that you said kind of taking that oath because, Katrina, like you were saying, we're all kind of in a position of power with our clients, with the viewers know it can go wrong really quick if you kind of know the relationship with your patient or with viewers. And season three just really felt like that was kind of a big message that they were trying to get, really. Dr. Katrina Furey: And what happens when someone like Paul Marx, who has a proclivity, you could say, for abusing his power, is now being given a lot of power that could sway things in a major way? I thought that was just like an interesting commentary. Portia Pendleton LCSW: What do you think about Hallmarks, like diagnostically? I mean, obviously we think he's attractive, but I guess there's everything. Dr. Katrina Furey: I think it's pretty well known that I don't remember the statistic off the top of my head. I think it's pretty well known that when you're in such a high position of power, there is some degree of sociopathy. I don't mean that people in really high positions of power are out, like being serial killers, but there's some sense of stepping on someone else to get to where you want some sort of lust for power that comes from being able to get to those super high positions. Again, it's not everyone in the high position, right? But it's like a higher percentage of people in those uber high positions than the average person. There's some sense of that. And I feel like they could have gone a little more with him and made him a little more cutthroat, like kind of in the succession guess. I don't know if you watched Succession, Nicole, but that was a show we covered. Nicole Nalepa: I watched like the first episode or two. I've been so awful finding time to watch shows lately. 14 month old, you have a lot of time. Dr. Katrina Furey: But I feel like they really went there with Logan Roy in a really cutthroat way, whereas Paul Marks was more mild. But you still got enough of that flavor. Like, when they talked about what happened with Stella at Stanford, it seems like he, I guess on paper did compensate her for her programming or whatever she had done. That's where it goes over my head a little, but like, clearly not like he knew it was going to be worth way more than he was offering her those sorts of things. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And that was the NDAs. Dr. Katrina Furey: All the NDAs. Right. I think it did really just speak to that a little sociopathy, some narcissism, but again, more of like this covert way, would you say? Portia, like trying to portray himself as earthy and very charming. But he had that edge and we really saw that when he threatened Bradley near the end of season three and when she quit. Right. Like, he knew all this stuff. It was clear he was surveilling everyone. I think he was the one who leaked the photo of him and Alex. I think we never really got an answer. Portia Pendleton LCSW: It seems like that would be accurate. Dr. Katrina Furey: I was trying to figure out, like, were Paul and Alex really connecting in a genuine way or was it like Alex met her match and it was like narcissists using each other to stay on top the whole time? I couldn't really tell. And then near the end, it really did feel like she was really like I think they did really genuinely care for each other. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. Because as much as they know, I think her kind of having to make that decision to ultimately betray him, even though he betrayed her, I think was really hard, because I think she had she almost felt it reminded me of. Like, I think Alex felt like he really saw her and she could be herself with him, which was like, this uber powerful woman with wanting to be more and maybe own a network and work really hard, and she's really smart, and she never got that opportunity from some of the past owners of UBA. And so I think she was really hurt by that. And it reminded me of Corey and Bradley's kind of like special, unique relationship where Bradley felt really seen by him and her authentic self. So I think it's almost like Alex was grieving, right, being able to who. Dr. Katrina Furey: She thought he was rather than who he really was. Which I think a lot of people leaving a relationship with someone with narcissistic traits feel is they're grieving who they thought the person was rather than who they really are. Once they see who they really are, I do feel like, in general, I love Alex Levy, I love Jennifer Aniston. I love her. Just I don't think it's accurate that she wouldn't have been as narcissistic as she had been before. It doesn't just go away, unfortunately, for the most part. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah. I wonder if there's another character who could have brought that side out that we weren't seeing. Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. Yeah. It was just weird to me how for so much of the season, it seemed like quieter to me. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And it was very loud in season one and two. Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. In a very big way. And again, I guess it is known that sometimes people with personality disorders peters out a little bit as they get older, but not all the and she's when I say get older, I mean more like elderly age, not. Nicole Nalepa: Would you see as a personality disorder? Dr. Katrina Furey: I think if I was diagnosing Alex Levy, I would, based on season one and two. Diagnose her with narcissistic personality disorder based on season three. I feel like we see more empathy than we've seen before. And so from like a mental health perspective, I don't know how accurate that is. Based on season one and two was, at least to me, very clearly NPD, like, in your face. I don't think that just goes away. But I think her as a character is very fascinating and I think they wanted her to have more of this arc. And she does, I guess, sort of at the end come in and save the day, which is great. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Which is also, though, like, self importance. She does get agreement from the other network and she talks to Laura. And I thought that was kind of just I don't know, I felt like, go women and everyone's working together. Yeah. Nicole Nalepa: Girl power. Portia Pendleton LCSW: But it's almost like, though, she is like the savior. So it could be maybe right. Dr. Katrina Furey: But it wasn't in like a icky. Nicole Nalepa: No. Dr. Katrina Furey: Like, I guess I felt like her narcissism was coming back out when she was like, in cahoots with Paul to start her own thing. But you saw how much she was grappling with how it was going to affect the 20,000 employees. And I don't think Alex Levy from season one or two cared about that. We saw her going to see Mitch in Italy kicking off those other people on their plane so she could get right. Like that level of narcissism in reality doesn't just go away. Whereas in season three, we really saw her really wrapped with guilt over going through this and then totally changing her mind when Maggie Brenner kind of reminded her like, Bradley was really there for you and she could really see that. Nicole Nalepa: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey: So, again, love it as a show. I think as a criticism, I think, unfortunately, doesn't happen that way, although we always wish it could. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah, I have why we have a podcast. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah, exactly. From a therapy point of view, could a traumatic event such as the pandemic, it seems like that was almost a turning point for where we saw her personality kind of shift a little bit. Right. She realized, like, she was so grateful to be living. She was so grateful that she was given another chance right at her job, and it opened up the way for more opportunities. Could that kind of water down that narcissism? Dr. Katrina Furey: What do you think, Portia? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Well, I'm always optimistic and filled with joy, so I feel know at least even if we think about it mechanically, trauma impacts our brain. So structurally, it could have changed her brain. How she processes information at a time, especially like the length of the pandemic and then all of the other collective traumas after that. With everything that was going on, especially considering her job and reporting on it, maybe like I don't know if it would shift her. I think if someone is truly narcissistic, like no, it could change you, how you relate to things like you were hurt by X, Y, and Z happening. You might feel the physical sensations, the change in the worldviews, the other symptoms of PTSD, but at your core, I think it's still going to come back to you being selfish or just grandiose and kind of not looking out for others. A little bit of lacking empathy. But that's why I think it's like, maybe if we think of it as a spectrum, she has maybe a lot of the narcissistic traits, and she didn't really have narcissism, and then the trauma would more so be more likely to impact her. Dr. Katrina Furey: I think when we think about narcissistic personality disorder, right, when we think about personality development as a whole, we all need some healthy degree of narcissism to have confidence and self esteem and put yourself out there. But what balances that sense of self importance in the world? You probably see this with your children, as we see with many children. When you're younger, you're like little narcissist. The whole world revolves around you. Your parents hopefully cater to your every need, whatever you need that's met, like, at all other expenses that's developmentally appropriate. But then usually as you grow up, you start to appreciate that there's other people in the world too, and the way you relate to them. In psychology, we call it object relations is really important. And that is the part that gets kind of stunted in people who have narcissistic personality disorder, where they have a really hard time holding on to conflicting feelings about themselves and others, like being good and bad at the same time. They can't tolerate being bad at all. And really deep down, the core wound is they feel useless, they feel worthless, they feel really bad, but they can't tolerate it. So they have to project it out onto other people, put them down, put themselves up here to sort of maintain their own inner sense of goodness. They haven't learned how to see other people for who that other person really is and appreciate the complexities that that person's good and bad, and so am I, and we're all okay. They can't really do that, if that makes sense. And so I feel like in seasons one and two with Alex, we really saw that a lot, where it was her, everything is for her. Like the way she treats everyone, the way she treated Chip. Everyone's almost like, right, everyone's like a chess piece. You're moving around for your own agenda. And season three was so different, which great for her. I just think in my clinical experience, when someone's like that degree of narcissism, it doesn't shift that much, even a trauma. And again, maybe you always hold out hope, but I'm not sure. It's very hard to do therapy with people with narcissistic personality disorder. Nicole Nalepa: So interesting. I just love listening to you guys talk. I love talking about psychology and getting in depth with feelings. Dr. Katrina Furey: We like it too. Nicole Nalepa: I love when you guys break it down, like, thanks. Dr. Katrina Furey: So I want to be respectful of your time. There's so much more we could talk about, but did anything jump out to you, Nicole, about this season or the relationships, the dynamics that really spoke to you or resonated with you? Nicole Nalepa: I think when you see the camaraderie like you were talking know, at the end there, you are a family, right? You're working with these people day in, day out, some people you're spending more time with than your own spouses. And you're also working through some horrific stories and traumatic situations and some really amazing joyous stories that you're celebrating with each other as well. So it's a very close knit community and I would say that it's a smaller business than you may think. There are a lot of people you never know who is going to advance on in the industry, which is why you should always be kind to everyone. Of course, that doesn't always happen, unfortunately. Let's be realistic, right? In life, there's always those who just struggle with that a little bit more. But I have found and I've witnessed and I've seen enough at this point where I've seen people who I may have known, who I've interned with. You never know, you might find yourself working with that person, which is great. But with that said, people will always remember how you make them feel, always treat people with respect and be kind because that also does come back around too. And there are people that unfortunately, like in any industry and workplace, people hear someone knows someone through someone else. So I think that that is like a huge theme to just never burn your bridges and just always be a kind person. At the end of the day, everyone's trying to do the best they can, and sometimes people struggle in other areas, but you just got to give everyone a little bit of grace yourself. Some grace, too. It's not an easy industry to work in, but if you love it, you can tell you want to stay in it. Portia Pendleton LCSW: It feels like you love it. Nicole Nalepa: I do. Yeah, I do. I love helping people. So this kind of helps satisfy that need to reach people and help people. That's always been, like, something I've loved to do. Yeah. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Well, we'll have to see what happens in season four. We have a lot of questions, like, what happens with the network? What happens with Bradley? Is Corey still attached to the network? There's so many places to go. We met his mom this season. Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, my God. Nicole Nalepa: Really? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Manipulative. Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. What do you think of his mom, Portia? Portia Pendleton LCSW: I feel like, I don't know, like, borderline. I mean, manipulative and cruel. Maybe narcissistic. Dr. Katrina Furey: I feel like it's exactly who I would have thought his mom would be. Like. You could just sense, like, he brought Bradley there as, like, a buffer, which I think often people with personality disorders, especially narcissism, do better with a crowd because they want to put on a good show. Right. Whereas when you're one on one with them, that's often when you get their cruel side and the real them, like, children of people with personality disorders like this will often talk about no one knows the real them. There's, like, the persona everyone else sees as charismatic, gregarious, bubbly, kind person, and then there's the real one. So I felt like him even just bringing Bradley to me was, like, diagnostic. And then she was so cruel with what she said and it was this interesting dance of codependency needs him to fill this void and he's constantly trying to fill it for her, but then she rejects him when he fills it. Or especially if he has his own need that doesn't align with hers and doesn't keep her in the center of his world. And then she's mad at him for staying away, and it's like, of course he's staying away. Look what he gets when he comes around. I was just like, I'm so glad we met her. And she was spot on who I thought she'd be. Nicole Nalepa: Definitely. Portia Pendleton LCSW: A mix of both. I think we didn't get her enough. I want more from her. And I think, though, for sure, we talked about last season, sometimes he appeared manic, but then I was like, or is that just the industry? He's just like, yeah, I think you. Nicole Nalepa: Got to be ready for anything. Dr. Katrina Furey: You got to jazz yourself up. And, like, that scene with him and Bradley driving home in the car where she's trying to empathize with him, and he's shutting her out because he just can't go there. I think it's so painful, especially when it's your mother of all people, you still love them. And she's trying to say to him, like, cory, I care about you. And he's like, no, Bradley, we mutually use each other. And I was like, oh, there it is. There's his impaired object. Can't he's struggling too. And just real quick, before we wrap up, we got to talk about the Bradley and Hal and Laura Peterson of it all. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. So she protects Hal. She's at the January 6 riots. She's filming. She gets, like, pepper sprayed her eye, hiding her identity. So she gets all this great footage, and then she sees her brother there, salting a police officer. Dr. Katrina Furey: I was like, of course, Hal. Nicole Nalepa: Yeah, right. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Hal is someone who we would consider kind of diagnostically to be vulnerable to ideas, beliefs, cults. He's in recovery. He's kind of searching for hiding identity. Dr. Katrina Furey: A purpose for connection, love for community. And just like they portrayed him all along, coming from the Deep South, I just was not surprised. He was yeah, yeah. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So she released the and, like that the FBI investigates, and blah, blah, blah, and Corey protects her, and then Paul. Dr. Katrina Furey: Threatens her, and it's just like, Laura. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Finds out, right, because she thinks that Bradley is cheating actually on her with Corey. Not anything like the. Dr. Katrina Furey: Right, right. But then she finds out and so quickly washes her hands of Bradley. And I was like, I get it, especially with what we were talking about, how important journalistic integrity is, and it was something like that. But I also get that it was her brother. And it's like, I just feel like Bradley's always in this impossible situation. That's the role she's played in her family, it seems like the whole time, right? Like, they hearken back to when she told authorities about her dad, like, you know, killing the child and the drunk driving, and I just feel like she's always in this impossible position, and I just want to see her in therapy. In season four, I was so sad we didn't see her go to therapy. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And I think Laura tried to get her to go. Nicole Nalepa: Right? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Laura did. Nicole Nalepa: She tried. Dr. Katrina Furey: I know. And that was, like, such a beautiful conversation about how to encourage someone you love to go to therapy. I was so hopeful. And then it was clear she didn't go. Yeah, she's not ready yet, but maybe. Portia Pendleton LCSW: She ordered because she's walked right the last she's walking into the FBI with Alex as a support, not Laura, and with Hal. And then the season ends, and we'll see. Dr. Katrina Furey: I know, we know. It's coming back for season four. I'm really excited. I do love the show. And we'll see where they go. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Well, thank you again, Nicole, for joining us today. Do you want to just share where people can maybe find you? Your podcast and stuff like that? Nicole Nalepa: Sure.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are analyzing season one of "The Morning Show" on AppleTV+. This series stars an all-star cast including Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, Billy Crudup, Karen Pittman, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Mark Duplass, to name just a few. We examine this season's expert and thoughtful portrayl of sexual harassment and assault in the workplace by comparing and contrasting the complex power dynamics between Mitch and Hannah, Mitch and Alex, Mia and Mitch, and Yanko and Claire. We discuss that the "freeze" response is one of the most common reactions to trauma, and analyze how this may contribute to shame, guilt, and confusion experienced by victims (as well as broaded misunderstanding about sexual harrassment and assault). We also explore depictions of narcissistic personality traits (once again! seems like Americans can't get enough!), substance abuse, and grief. We really enjoyed this drama and hope you enjoy this episode! Instagram TikTok Website [00:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fury, a psychiatrist. [00:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. [00:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows. [00:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. [00:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: There is so much misinformation out there and it drives us nuts. [00:32] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. [00:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. [00:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. [00:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: And your DSM Five and enjoy. We get started. We just wanted to include a trigger warning for this episode. This episode could include discussion about some themes and topics that might be upsetting, including, but not limited to things like substance abuse, suicide, self harm, disordered, eating, and harassment and assault. So if any of those topics are too upsetting, we totally get it. Please feel free to skip this episode and join us next week. Otherwise, we hope you enjoy. [01:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Welcome back to another episode of Analyzed Grip. [01:34] Dr. Katrina Furey: Woohoo. [01:35] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: We're really excited to be talking about The Morning Show, season one for this episode. I feel a little late to the game as this came out in November of 2019, and I'm just discovering it and it was phenomenal. [01:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: It is phenomenal. It really is. [01:49] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Did you watch it earlier? [01:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: I watched it earlier, but only like, last year. I wasn't watching it in real time, but I did watch it. I feel like the three COVID years are kind of a blur, but I remember watching it and doing a puzzle and so I think that must have. [02:08] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Been during COVID Yeah, there were a lot of puzzles. I don't know if that's a trauma memory memory in a long time. [02:17] Dr. Katrina Furey: And I think it's just like, I can't that makes sense. But no, I mean, the Morning Show is such a good show, so we're excited to be covering seasons one and two ahead of the release of season three this fall. And of course, we'll be covering that as well, like, in real time. But gosh, what an all star cast. One thing I love about it is that a lot of the main know jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell are like, known comedic actors. [02:47] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Lighthearted. [02:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like, sure, they've all done some serious stuff here and there, but like, man, they all really pack a punch. And they're so good. And I love seeing them in these bigger, grittier, more complicated roles. I love seeing Jennifer aniston like this. [03:05] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was shocked. We were talking a little bit about this before we started recording, and I have no idea how I was sleeping on the show. I think we kind of said it's like Apple's probably, unfortunately, like one of the last streaming services people think of. [03:25] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, it's like you get like Netflix, right? And then you probably get Hulu and. [03:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Then you're like, do I really want. [03:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: To pay for Apple or not? By the way, Apple, if you want to sponsor us, feel free. We love you. We're both paying. You know we love it. [03:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: The morning show. [03:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: They have a new beanie baby movie out. Yes. [03:41] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: With Sarah Snook. Yes. [03:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: And Zach Gallifinakis, which I read the book it's based on. Because obviously yes. I feel like that would be a fun one for us to cover. They have really good content. But I think you're right, Ted Lasso. But I think it's just not quite as popular for some reason. So maybe that's why. Did you have Apple back in 2019? No, probably not. It's just fabulous. [04:05] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So I have not seen season two yet. I cut it off. I had to restrain my arm from hitting next because I was going to not sleep this week watching season two. And I was like, slow down. You don't need to watch it yet. But I'm like at the edge of my seat. What happened? [04:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes. And I think when we started this podcast, Portia, we had some major shows in mind that we wanted to cover. You obviously. The morning show, obviously. White Lotus obviously. And then there's a couple more like, Devil in Ohio and Tell Me Lies, which we want to cover at some point. But I feel like we're getting close to the end of shows. I have to rewatch for the podcast, which I'm appreciating. So I have seen seasons one and two, but it is still so fascinating to rewatch. Like, even though I know what's coming, I miss little details the first time around. Like the button under the desk that shuts the like, somehow I missed that the first time I watched it. And even knowing the ending, like with Hannah rewatching, it is just really interesting to then see how do they portray that character's evolution. And I always wonder, do the actors know the ending when they get started filming, or do they not? And I bet it's different by show. [05:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it depends. And it's so funny that you said that because I just saw this morning that Sarah Snook read, like, the week of them filming the last episode. That tom wamscams. Spoiler alert for succession. Season four, pause becomes the succession. I read that, too. [05:44] Dr. Katrina Furey: I read that she was shocked and. [05:45] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was just like, wow, she didn't know. I think they want some of that to be organic right. In their emotions of like right. [05:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: And also so fascinating. [05:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [05:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: Because then it's like she has portrayed this character all along, not knowing that's going to be the outcome. And that probably does influence how they portray the character. Right. It's so fascinating. Someday when our podcast is really big, I so hope we get to talk to the writers and stuff and just pick their brains, analyze them analyzing their work, and just make everyone uncomfortable by being super analyze. [06:20] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. How did you get this so right? [06:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Tell me about your childhood. [06:24] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Tell me about your mother. But we see Alex as a mother, as a partner at home, and she seems would you like to take it from here? As. [06:41] Dr. Katrina Furey: Again, Jennifer Aniston in a role like, as I was thinking about getting ready to record this episode. I was like, I feel like I think I know who Jennifer Aniston is, but I don't, obviously, right? But she is, like, America's sweetheart. I think we all think of her as doing yoga and drinking a green shake, but being really nice and like a girl's girl and having some dogs that she takes really good care of, right? And just like, an all around good person, right? Doesn't cheat on her taxes, eats healthy. I have no idea if that's true. What if this is her? Right? We don't know. [07:22] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I know, but I just say that. [07:24] Dr. Katrina Furey: Because this was such a different role for her and she did a really good job, and I loved watching it a second time. And as we get toward the end, still wondering, is any of this genuine or is she just like a huge, raging narcissist, like, clinically a narcissist? What were your thoughts? [07:47] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think I was back and forth. And as we often wonder, was that intentional? Was it intentional in writing or did she her acting just kind of come up with that organically? Because I think back and forth, I really was rooting for her or felt sorry for her. And then the next moment, I was furious with her. The next moment I was like, you're terrible. So I don't know. I think where I left off at the end of season one, I was really proud of her. It seemed like she finally pulled the wool from her eyes, which maybe she put there intentionally or not. I think that was the question. And decided to maybe get fired. I don't know if she also, though, right, sensed the sinking ship and decided to be on, quote unquote, the right side. [08:37] Dr. Katrina Furey: I don't know exactly. I don't know either. And I think that's fascinating and probably exactly where we're supposed to end up. And Jennifer Aniston did such a stellar job in this role and all the writers and everyone in sort of crafting her character, right? So to sort of back up, if you haven't watched season one of the morning show, first of all, go watch it. Second of all, the main plot is know there's these two news anchors on the major morning show in New York City. Mitch Kessler, played by Steve Carell, and Alex Levy, played by Jennifer Aniston. And the show starts with Mitch, Steve Carell's character, getting fired for sexual misconduct. And it's set in the era of MeToo, I believe. It started going into production in 2017. It was released in 2019 all around the time when the MeToo movement was really catching ground. On Twitter, on Instagram social media with actors and actresses, like, really coming forward about Harvey Weinstein, but then other major heavy hitters in Hollywood. We both did want to just make note that the MeToo movement and Hashtag had been around for far longer than that, about nine years ahead of that. Tarana Burke had started using it on her own social media back then, MySpace in 2006, to talk about her experiences as a sexual assault survivor and to really start pushing forward, like, congressional legislation and other sort of political and activist movements. And then it really took off when Alyssa Milano and other actors and actresses were using it. So that's like the setting where this is all created and interestingly right around the time Matt Lauer got fired for sexual misconduct, right? And I kept wondering, like, is this Matt Lauer or is it not? [10:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And, like, you know, I think the producers and writers or the showrunner had to deny it on record, but I think there's a lot of speculation that it's that whether or not there was specifics or, like, that's the general sense of what happened. And I think what I really actually liked about their depiction of the morning show is that they were covering all of the real Weinstein was there was that episode where Alex is watching a segment on him, and she's like, oh, what a pig, right? And then the fires, Malibu, like, all of that, and then the hired firefighters, all of those things were actually happening in real time. And I loved that component because it felt so real and sometimes not like I was watching a show. I was actually watching a morning show. [11:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right? [11:20] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And so I think some of that makes me think it is kind of based I feel like mean, we have. [11:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: No idea, so Matt Lauer, please don't sue us. This is all alleged, but it seems like I mean, I think we were reading some article this morning that the button in the dressing room is a thing that he had, like, how sick? How sick? [11:41] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That gave me full body chills. And I can't remember who it was. [11:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: Mia. [11:46] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Mia who went in there, and she pushed the button and the door slammed, and I was it just it really. [11:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: Does send a chill down your spine. So, like we've talked about before, sexual misconduct, sexual assault. Sexual harassment is unfortunately incredibly common. The World Health Organization estimates that the prevalence of sexual violence affects a third of all women. Insane. Like, it's like insane because I'm not surprised, but it's also insane that it affects so many of us just walking around and it's just so normal, right? And I think when stuff like that is normalized and this is worldwide this isn't just in American culture, but worldwide when it is normalized, it's hard to discern if what you're experiencing and those inner icky feelings are because of that behavior or because of your own quote unquote sensitivity or overreaction. We have a tendency to say about women. And so much of this stuff is not overtly out there until it is. [13:00] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. [13:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: But there's usually, like, a long progression we see that depicted in this show. [13:05] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And there were some I read a couple of articles and comments that were unhappy about that. There was some criticism on some of the grayness that the morning show took with kind of how it landed. And I think from my perspective, as someone who works with people who have experienced this, I'm torn, because on the one hand, it's like I think they did a really good job of showing the grayness. That makes it so hard for someone who experienced it to delineate, like, wait, did that really happen? And was it really sexual assault or not know? And then people around you also being kind of, like, confused or but because I think they wanted it to be. [13:52] Dr. Katrina Furey: Really black and white, especially with Hannah. [13:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: With Hannah. And I think, like, it was intentionally not her getting dragged into a bush by Mitch and she screamed because, again, as we talked about in earlier episodes, that's not common. That's actually more rare. It does absolutely happen. But I think they kind of hit the nail on the head. [14:17] Dr. Katrina Furey: This is what happened. Right. [14:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. I appreciated it, but I could also understand some of the criticism, just wanting. [14:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: To really be what's the criticism exactly? [14:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Kind of going back and forth right. With Hannah, quote, unquote, making the decision while after it was initiated without her consent to kind of go with it, as she says. She says that in the interview with Bradley that she kind of just decided to do it after obviously being distressed and not I think that they wanted it to be more clear so people who don't understand it would right. [15:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: I was just thinking that's such a good point, because I think in that scene so what we're referring to is this is near the end of season one, right? We see. So, like, Mitch gets fired and then he's all angry that these are all consensual affairs. How could anyone accuse me of these awful things? And we see he's out on a quest to clear his then, you know, there's this chance that now Alex might be fired. She's getting older. People are bored of her. There's all this backstabbing and stress going on in the network with the higher ups and all the businessy things. And then we see her spring on everyone that she's decided that Bradley Jackson, this new nobody from Nowhere, is going to be the new Morning Show co host. Right. And then Bradley Jackson is this truth teller, and basically, eventually it comes that Bradley wants to uncover the truth of who at the network knew who was covering it up. And that's all really interesting, and we'll get into it. But near the know, there was this thought that maybe Bradley would interview know they'd already interviewed one of his other victims. Maybe they'd interview Mitch for ratings and all this stuff. And everyone had a different goal with that interview. And as they're getting to that, we see what happened between Mitch and Hannah unfold. And until then, Hannah was just this sort of background character, and then all of a sudden, we really see that she was another one of his victims. And so I thought the depiction of this perfectly displayed the power differential between the white male head anchor and the black younger female. I don't even know what she was. She was like a booker, a junior booker. Right. So she's, like, fresh on the scene. He liked her. Right. So then asked that she be brought out to Las Vegas to cover that shooting. Again, another real event that happened. [17:09] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He complimented her before that, like, in front of and, you know, so that made her feel really good, really special. And there was know, I think keep going. [17:19] Dr. Katrina Furey: I'll say this later, but again, just a compliment. Not about her appearance, not about what she was wearing, just, like, about her work. Right. But it's like it's already starting. It's already starting. He knows what he's doing. That's exactly what it is. It's grooming. He asked for Mia to be taken off because that was who he'd had an affair with leading up to that. Mia had recently broken it off. Mia is also black, but she's older. She's been around longer. So there's still a power difference, right. And a racial difference, but different from Hannah. I thought that was really interesting, that they kind of show both of those piggybacked, and then we see him just take advantage of Hannah, who is clearly struggling with covering this awful trauma. So Hannah's already traumatized, right. Who's not, like, covering a mass shooting. Right? She's, like, vicariously traumatized, sort of coping with that. And he sort of is showing interest in her and things unfold. [18:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [18:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: I can't remember the exact sequence of events, but it was like they bumped into each other. They were walking around. Maybe they got a drink. She's sad. She's sad. [18:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He's giving her some advice. [18:33] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right? She's thinking of him as, like, a mentor. She's young. Of course you want to be mentored by the head honcho. And then he invites her up to his hotel room, and that's where I think you're like, Why did you go? [18:46] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But again, it's like and he's this right? [18:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: Dad fatherly figure. He's like America's, dad. And they say that a couple of. [18:54] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Times, which I think is, for me, so important, because, again, it demonstrates, like, he's not, I guess, to the outside world. And Hannah, like, creepy, right? So it's, you know, he's jolly, he's kind, and, you know, he invites her. [19:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: Up to watch a movie that he likes to watch when he's feeling like, okay, you know, I could see how you might go again. I feel like I could see why you shouldn't go. Right? But I could also see how Hannah, not being in her most stable state of mind, could feel like, this was nice. She's so upset, she's so traumatized. This well seasoned, successful person who's recently complimented her work, asked her to be here, is showing interest in her and comforting her. You also don't get Icky vibes. Full on no. Until they're there and until it gets to that point. But then she's being traumatized again. Right. And we often think about, like, when trauma is happening, that fight or flight response, but included in that is the freeze response, right. Where you kind of play dead, right? And you see this in Animals in the Wild, too. And I think that's what happened. [20:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I was, like, playing dead. And I'm sure there's maybe a research article on this that it would be helpful to have, but in my experience, freezing is the most common response. [20:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: Most common sexual 100%, it is. And what's really confusing, I think, for survivors of sexual assault like this is that psychologically, you're freezing. But biologically, in terms of arousal and things like that, that will biologically happen whether you necessarily want it to or not. And so that's where it gets really confusing, at least in my work with survivors of things like this, right. Because they might have biological reactions that you might have if you're having consensual sex. [20:57] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then the shame, right? Super shame. How could I have reacted in that. [21:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: Way if I didn't want it? And it's like because it's biological, you can't control it. Just like you can't control when you're going through something traumatic. If you fight flight or freeze, you can't always control it. You're being traumatized. It's like your body's most primitive way of protecting itself. Right. So I just feel like you can't blame her. You can't blame her. [21:24] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. [21:24] Dr. Katrina Furey: She may have felt like who knows, right? That's just what happened. She was traumatized. I found that really hard to watch. [21:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That whole episode, really, I think, was so imperative to the season, because up until then, I think it wasn't clear if it was just abuses of power with Mitch. And it was, I'd say, besides the abuse of power and power dynamics and stuff like that, like consensual, where everyone's an adult here, but just affairs, right? [22:05] Dr. Katrina Furey: And up until that point, they had showed, like, Mitch relating to ****, played by Martin Short, in a way of being like, all these women are so sensitive these days, you can't even compliment a woman anymore, right? But then as they're talking at his house when he's trying to pitch, let's make a documentary where we get interviewed and tell our side of the story. And then he realizes, like, oh, this guy's like, legit a pedophile. He doesn't see there's anything wrong. [22:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And he's like, Well, I'm not like, or like you're this, and I'm like, it's so interesting that he right. He separates himself from ****. [22:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: And again, yes, I think it's fascinating that he still thinks he's special or different. He's not that bad of a predator. He can't see his own action. He's not appreciating what he actually did. [22:59] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But then he's so good at manipulating Hannah later on that I'm like, you do know that's what I mean. [23:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, exactly. And it's like, he knew what he was doing. She doesn't have to say, like, no or stop. Even though she tries, he keeps going. Right. So it's like, at what point is it on? Why does a woman or whoever's being victimized have to keep screaming no from the rooftops? And why aren't you held accountable to just know that this is wrong. You should know. [23:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: She says, I wasn't expecting this when I came up here. And, okay, so maybe pull back and be like, okay, well, what were you expecting? And then just talking. Okay, now we're just going to talk, of course, what he was doing. And then he says to her right, to get her to talk. That whole part was so sick, so horrible to watch. Like, well, you manipulated me to get the job. You used me. Well, this is going to come out. [24:01] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right, whether you wanted to or not. [24:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So, again, that's another trauma and abuse of power and not consent. What did you think about Bradley's interview? Her conversations with Hannah kind of at that part. [24:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: So Bradley Jackson as a character, I find I have mixed reactions to, like, on the one hand, I love Reese Witherspoon, and I think she's a great actress. Some parts of Bradley I felt like were a little too try hard, if that makes sense. Like, yeah, she's a truth teller, great. But some of it was, like, a little too much for me. I thought her backstory was really compelling, like, about her dad and how he had apparently killed a child by drunk driving, and she had been the one to turn him in. And then her own brother's struggling with addiction and how she seems to be bearing the responsibility of that, both financial and emotionally, and her mom is kind of struggling to put it lightly. I found all of that really interesting. I believe we see more of that in season two, so I'm excited to revisit that. But in general, I felt like when Bradley was interviewing both the initial victim, they had come back on the air. And then Hannah, some of the things she was saying I thought were good things to say, like, kind of like therapist things to say, know, echoing back, like, oh, I hear you're saying this. That's hard. No, it's okay to cry. Take your time. Let me get you a tissue. She was very humanistic and relatable and could say things like that. When we got to this stuff with Hannah, I was just like it made me so uncomfortable because we already know at this point that Hannah is, like, uber traumatized. We see that she's abusing drugs. I think in Vegas. That was when she had offered to her coworker, like, we're going to be up for the next 36 hours. [26:00] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Do you want Adderall California fire thing. [26:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: Or that was in the fire. There was something earlier on where, you know, she has Adderall. She seems to be abusing it. Who knows what Hannah's backstory is? I wouldn't be surprised if there had been earlier traumas in her life or something like that. And then we see that she's not kind of she's been super triggered by this whole thing with Mitch and all this stuff coming out. And I feel like him just showing up at the morning show that day and talking to everyone and everyone's listening, but also looks really scared. I was so afraid he was going to pull out a like, I was just like, oh, my God, this is like a bad situation. Disgruntled, powerful man just, like, showing up. I was really worried. And then with Hannah in that interview with Bradley, I feel like I'm going off on a tangent, but it just felt like people kept re traumatizing her by pushing her or insisting she do things or like, forcing it on. Like, it starts with Mitch again. And it ****** me off. I was like, you've already forced yourself on this poor girl. You're doing it again. You are so manipulative and it's disgusting and you're just twisting it all around, unannounced, unwanted. It's just like, you are retraumatizing her. But then for Bradley and everyone else to push her to go along with. [27:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It, they're doing it too. I was so angry at Bradley because you could see that she was aware, because she was like there was some hesitation or there was some know, when Hannah kind of finally, quote unquote, loses it and goes on that monologue of what happened and how she's feeling, Bradley's like, Whoa. And it's are and then she kind of walks back and it's like, well, we don't need to do this. You're clearly upset. And it's like, but you made her feel this. Like you forced her to do the moral thing, which I think oftentimes is something that we do put on victims of, like, right, well, it's the right thing to do to press charges or like, you don't want this to happen to someone else. It's not your responsibility. [28:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: 100%. And I think it's so important that we keep pushing that message out there that when you are the victim of something traumatic or like an assault or something like that, you get to decide what you do next. Right? And it is so retraumatizing to tell victims, like, well, you have to report it. You have to do this. Because, again, the whole trauma was forced on them, something they don't want, they didn't consent to it's so intrusive and now you're, like, doing it again. Right. And I think loved ones, family members, society can be well meaning in wanting. I can see how people around you might want to support you by helping you step into your power and get retribution and stuff like that, but it's on that person it happened to to decide what is best for them. [29:02] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right? [29:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: Because, like we've talked about, the system isn't super welcoming to victims and just believes you right. That whole thing can be really traumatizing too. And again, it's like, Bradley, this whole time is like, I just want the like, I just want the truth. But then I feel like we saw her selfishness and own thirst for power there, and it was, you know, and it's like, Hannah doesn't want this. Like, she I'll tell, I'll do whatever you want. Just leave me alone and don't use my name. And again, it's like she feels, like, coerced to do that. She doesn't want to, but then they all just keep pushing her, pushing her, pushing her, and the network reaching out. [29:45] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And offering her this job. [29:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: I mean, it's, like, so sick. But this stuff happens. It happens. And then, sadly, we see that eventually she dies. And it's unclear. Was it an accidental overdose? Was it intentional? What were your thoughts? [30:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. I mean, it seemed like she was abusing Adderall. Of course, we don't know what she took, right. When she OD. [30:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: I think Opiates is what I'm guessing, because there was, like, vomit and stuff like that, and it's so lethal. [30:20] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. And maybe we know that we often see some mixing. Right. If you are using a stimulant to stay up, it's like, typically sometimes then you need a downer to go to bed or something like that. And those are when things get really dangerous. So it might have been in that way, accidental. Right. She was like, abusing Adderall and then needed to go to bed, and then she was anxious or upset, and then she was like, oh, I'll just take something to help me sleep, a sedative or something like that. And then that happened. I don't know. I mean, I think it could have easily been either one. [30:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. I feel like I'm leaning toward accidental just because I say that. Because she accepted the new job. She wanted to get out of there. So she seemed what we call in the field, like, future oriented. She had plans. However, all of this turmoil is going on. She is so retraumatized with no support. [31:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And her friend Claire, right, they just had a fight. [31:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: They just had a fight, a falling out where Hannah thought she was doing the right thing. She saw Claire with Yanko, who's the weatherman, and was, I think, concerned for her friend that the same thing was happening. So she went to HR, and we'll talk a little more about that whole portrayal. But so she's alone. She's abusing substances. Also, in those moments when. You're intoxicated or high or not in your sober mind, you can make decisions that you can make such a split second decision. Just be like, you know what? This is too much. I'm done. So it's so unclear. It's so unclear, but it is so sad and devastating. And it's like, that's what it like. That's what it took to finally get people to wake up, right? [32:05] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That scene, you know, I thought was so well done with Bradley getting the phone call from Claire, right? So it's like the new guy, Malcolm, is, like, giving the speech, probably, you know, we're all family, even though everyone hates you. And then right? It's like then you don't hear anything. We're just hearing kind of the music. We're just seeing them mouthing. And then you see Bradley, like, walking up to the front, and then you see her turn, right? It's all kind of slow. And then she clearly says that Hannah has died and everyone falls apart. And it's just like I mean, the whole last episode was just like, I wanted more, like, of every scene, I wanted more shots. I wanted more. [32:50] Dr. Katrina Furey: Know. I know. [32:51] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Chip, you know, beating up Mitch. [32:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: I was, oh, finally. So Chip is like the producer or the showrunner, and he's played by Mark Duplass. And then we also have the other people in power are Fred, who's the president of UBA, played by Tom Irwin. And then we have Corey, who is the president of the news division of UDA, played by Billy CrudeUp. He was like, my favorite character in this scene. [33:17] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He was so eccentric and quirky and I don't even know oh, my God. [33:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: And midway through, when he was helping drunk Bradley get back to her room, and that episode ended with the elevators closing, I was like, no, is it going to happen to Bradley? And it didn't. It seems like he was, like, just made sure she was safe, slept on the couch. But it totally leaves you wondering, oh, my just again, I felt like I was sort of back in thinking about succession in terms of trying to figure out, like, okay, so who has all the power and who's trying to overthrow who? And again, we have this board of board people with all the power everyone's afraid of and, like, ratings and all these things. [33:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: When Alex meets with that board, right, and they're expecting her to apologize, right. And she just kind of goes off on them and she's like, well, this isn't the apology you expected, was it? And it's like, it's all men, right? [34:07] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, all white men. Yeah. So getting back to Alex, I'm curious to hear your thoughts about her. [34:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So the scene with her and her daughter, I mean, obviously came later, but I think to me, helped me understand. [34:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: Her more, like who she authentically is. [34:27] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It seems like she was a little emotionally and physically neglectful, unavailable to her family. It seems like she did, I guess, prioritize her career. That's how they felt. I thought it was interesting, her relationship with her husband. It seems like they were very clearly separated, but then would put on this show, A, in front of their daughter, and then B, also in front of. [34:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: Just like the public. Public, yeah, like when they were going to that awards ceremony and then her. [34:56] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Hosting the party, she definitely, I think, dismissed him a lot. I think she was more aware of that with him. I think that she thought that she was a great mom and really present and there in the fight. I think it was interesting how she was like, I've done this all for you. [35:17] Dr. Katrina Furey: Not true. [35:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was interesting. [35:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: And she takes the pizza back. I thought this was a great portrayal of narcissistic personality disorder. I mean, I just thought it was. [35:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So good that back on the daughter, I thought it was so funny when she mentioned therapy, she's like, oh, I can tell you. [35:41] Dr. Katrina Furey: That I paid for. So if we zoom out, I think, like, classic narcissistic personality disorder. I think her husband accuses her of that at some point or points it out, but so we see. Alex is the center of her world, and she is famous and gets all this attention for being on the show. You can tell that her whole family unit of her husband and daughter serves her. She is the center. Her husband and daughter fall into place. They know how to play their roles, and they just do it no matter what. Right. And I thought we saw that really clearly when they were driving to that award show. And she's clearly upset about everything. But then her daughter starts to get really upset, and Alex, it just doesn't feel genuine that she cared. It's like, I feel like everyone in her life is there to serve her, even her daughter. And I just her daughter points that. [36:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Out in the fight. [36:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. And then Alex can't take it as a narcissist would not be able to take it or be able to see and be accountable for their own behavior because that threatens their already fragile inner sense of self. So they have to flip the switch. [36:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Which she does in a really big way and comes back with. Right. Like, your head broke my body. I had to be stitched up after you didn't know that to say to your child. [37:05] Dr. Katrina Furey: And she says, like, F you, I'm taking this pizza. You don't come back from that stuff. But I felt like that did give us insight into who she authentically. And do you think that because maybe. [37:22] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was really clear to others, but not me. Was Alex assaulted by Mitch? [37:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: I still think it's it's I don't think, like, are you talking about the scene where she's talking to Mitch or just overall? [37:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That scene was the only reason I thought she wasn't right, because it seemed manipulative manipulating him. Or she could say that. [37:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: But then all of this other stuff. [37:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then in the last episode, there was some point where it did come up again, where in a way that really made me think that she was. [38:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: Well, I think she was certainly harassed. Like, we saw that in that throwback episode know, he's commenting on the other anchor's dress and her body and like, well, you'd look great in that dress, Alex. Because then she wouldn't be wearing blah, blah, blah. I think certainly that was going on. And maybe now that we're talking about it, it seems like that's another gray area. Right. You don't always have to be victim or perpetrator. She probably was a little bit of both, I think. So in she probably was a victim and turned the other know, do I think she was as victimized as Hannah? I don't know. But I would be surprised because she has more power than Hannah. But certainly could be. Yeah. I mean, she would be, like, almost like the ultimate this is gross. But putting myself in Mitch's mind, like the ultimate conquest for him because of her, like, if he could get her, then I don't know. What do you think? [39:08] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I feel like it happened early on, 1012 years ago, and then she maybe forgot it kind of intentionally and then turned the blind eye to everything else. Or kind of told herself that it was more concerned. I don't know. [39:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: That's actually really interesting to think about, because I think they talk about there were, like, two times maybe they allude to having sex, but it's not clear when that happened. What were the circumstances? Were they both co anchors then, or were they not? What was the power differential with them? Yeah, that's a great point. [39:47] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And was it also just know, Mitch being like even just like maybe Alex was really down. Maybe she was having marital problems and he was just there. And they have this, like a that's something that I would like to know because I think it would help me frame her a little better. But I thought it was interesting, too, the shot of her daughter watching Bradley and Alex kind of doing that. I feel like that made the daughter feel more empathetic connected. [40:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: Sorry for yeah, and I can't decide where I fall with that. At the end, was that Alex finally doing the right thing? Or was it her again, trying to just preserve her image? I feel like the pessimist in me thinks, like, a narcissist doesn't change their stripes. And I think she's just, like, trying to preserve her image at all costs. And this time it worked in her favor. You hate to say, but then there's another part of me that wants to believe in the good in people. I bet you believe in the good in people, Portia, because she was so. [40:59] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Unwell at that mean again, they just learned this happened and all of this is going on behind the know. I think this whole thing was, like, changing her view on Mitch, and I think she know that back. And, like, she had this closeness with him. She couldn't see him in that way. She couldn't really believe it. And then this thing with Hannah was like, oh, my God. [41:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: Shattering. [41:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, he know a horrible monster like Harvey Weinstein. Right. That was so quick for her to be like, oh, he's a pig. And it's like, no, Mitch is too. [41:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [41:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I don't know, you see her walking around the set, she's just like she throws the water in that guy. [41:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: It's all so, like, intense and organic. [41:42] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think narcissists also can do things. It's not that they don't have a moral compass. They're just there the circle of their moral compass. [41:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: Exactly. That's a good point. Again, maybe it's not one or the other. Maybe it's both. Maybe it's the right thing, and it's serving her. So at that point, because it is serving her, it's easier to do. I mean, she's a compelling character, to say the least. And Jennifer Aniston does a remarkable job portraying her, which makes me a little worried. Like, I hope that's not who Jennifer Aniston. [42:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't think it is. [42:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: It can't be. Right. [42:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I saw her talk Adam Sandler's like Kennedy Awards. [42:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: Okay. [42:28] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: They've done so many movies together, and she just seems so funny and silly. [42:32] Dr. Katrina Furey: And down to earth. [42:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Down to earth. And her and Drew Barrymore were just, like, laughing about who's more close with him. I don't know. I think she's I know. [42:41] Dr. Katrina Furey: I don't see her like that. You know, it's her acting skills. It's great. Yeah, good for her. She's so great. [42:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So what we also wanted to talk about is kind of comparing Yanko and Claire, their relationship and Hannah. [42:56] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. So again, we see claire is I don't know what her role is, like intern or something, but she's, like, from a really rich family. It comes out. But she wants to be in the biz, and Yanko is the weatherman. I just love how much he loves the weather. That's how I feel about science sometimes. I just want to tell people things about fireworks and the electrons and everyone's face glazes over, but I think it's so cool. So I just love how much he loves the weather. But anyway, so they're like, in a consensual relationship, and it's like it seems so sweet and right. It doesn't feel icky. No, it doesn't. [43:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: None of it does. [43:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: None of it feels icky to me. [43:41] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He seemed really kind of caught off guard and hesitant when we see the flashback of her kind of going up to him and complimenting him and then being really direct with a little bit more of a flirtation right. And him being like, whoa. And kind of walks away. [43:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: I feel like he's probably not used to getting a lot of girls because he's just, like, so into the weather. Right. But there's a part of her that digs it. Right. [44:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Tell me about I think he would have immediately then been like, oh, a compliment back, or something like that. And the fact that he didn't and was so caught off guard. I mean, again, if we're just based off the scenes that we see, it does feel consensual. She also seems really kind of comically in charge in the relationship. So I think it was a good highlight, too, of, like, there's also policies in the workplace for a reason, just because of a breakup. Again, like, you're two consenting adults, maybe even within the same role. [44:41] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [44:42] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But it's still, like, workplace and things can sometimes end well or not go well. So that's why there's stuff in place. But it seemed overall not really impacted by dynamics. And maybe it did help that she was very wealthy and she doesn't need to be doing any of this, or. [44:56] Dr. Katrina Furey: She'S not doing it to further her. [44:58] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Career and have him fired. [45:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: I loved when she said that, but it was just so interesting to watch their relationship unfold as this is happening, because they've been, like, dating in secret and stuff. And again, it's like when you first start dating someone, it's not that it's like, secret, secret, but you're not like, hey, guess what? All the time. Right? Right. So you could see why they want to take their time, really suss it out and feel it out. But you see them getting closer as all this is unfolding, and you see Yanko genuinely reflecting and being introspective and checking in with her. And that is why he's not a narcissist, why he's not icky like Mitch. Right. And then we see that eventually Hannah sees her going into his room with the whole when they were in California for the Wildfires and the interviews by HR were just what did you think of those? [45:57] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, bizarre. I mean, I was confused why, if she is the one that they're really kind of concerned about, why it's such a horrible interview and why him being the one who I would assume them being concerned of being like, the perpetrator of it was like, great. I know it should have been reversed. [46:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: And it's also like, is this, like, the gender dynamic? But then it's like, yeah, why aren't they going harder on him? It's almost, again, like, no one believes women. Claire is saying, like, no, I wasn't coerced. I really like him. We're in a relationship. I don't want to tell you about our sex life. And they don't believe her, and they keep pushing and pushing and pushing. And I guess on the one hand, it's like, okay, you want to have some degree of skepticism because if someone is being coerced and the other person is in a more powerful position, maybe they're not going to feel comfortable to tell you. But you have to have some tact, right. And have some gut instinct know, when do you push? When do you pull back? And they just kept pushing her and made her so uncomfortable. [47:04] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Hannah not going to Claire, which I thought was a really good point first, and just, like, asking her, being like, hey, I saw you go into Yanko's room. What's going on? And then, like, I mean, there's two ways to look at it, but I think, like, for, like, that was a violation. Right. Like, her personal sex information is now being shared in a, you know, starting at the process and then the questions and then how it was left. [47:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: It was just, like, so intrusive bad. [47:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think that's, again, we need to do better, because I can also. [47:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: See yeah, I can also see it from Hannah's perspective, why she would go and be afraid of her friend, and she's already triggered herself. So there's some level of projection and fear, and sometimes when bad things come out, you feel like and sometimes it is the right decision to go to the authorities who can help you rather than talk to the victim themselves or something. Right. It just gets so sticky and confusing. But it was just a really interesting portrayal of, I guess, how HR might handle it. And you want to think it wouldn't happen, but I don't think I'm naive enough to think and I'm pretty naive to think that this kind of stuff doesn't happen. [48:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I also think it's not and I don't know whose role it is, but I think it feels just like it shouldn't be HR's role because it feels so personal and delicate, and it's like these people you're in HR. I feel like there should be a line where it's like, if something like this is coming up, you're bringing in, like, a consultant or it's like, yeah. [48:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: Or it's like an EAP therapist. It's like, okay, let's keep it to. [48:47] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: From HR, who, you know, their job. [48:50] Dr. Katrina Furey: Should be like, okay, do you feel threatened? Like, you should ask the questions, and if they say no, you believe them, and then you say, if anything changes, here's who you call. [49:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [49:03] Dr. Katrina Furey: Or like, we have this therapist. I just want you to meet with them once and see where it goes. Right. Like someone else who can suss it out a little better. Right. [49:10] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Who's not then at work with you. [49:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. Yeah. [49:13] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That just feels really weird. And in all sorts of sizes of companies, it's like sometimes HR I know the last place I worked, we probably had, I don't know, like, 250 employees, 200 employees, and there was, like, two people in HR, and I knew them, and they were funny, and they're desperate. It's a conflict of interest. It's a huge conflict of interest for these matters, not for the other stuff that people who are lovely in HR do. [49:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. But again, it's like this portrayal of HR I feel like HR went too far. They were intrusive and invasive, and I felt like asking really inappropriate questions of her when she had said, I'm good, I'm fine. I wish we could have an HR professional on sometime to sort of let us know what's it like, because this also seems really stressful for them. [50:06] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, and maybe there should be maybe the answer is, like, really significant trainings around this specifically and how to be delicate and who to call and when to bring other people in. [50:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: I feel like some people I don't. [50:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Know, that would be a question for them. Are you trained in how to manage a sexual misconduct issue at work? Or is it like just you kind. [50:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: Of going by the book and from the legal sort of side? But what about the psychological side and human side? And I think clearly, obviously we're interested in that side, but it's a really good point. And sadly, I was so sad when it was really interesting to see both of their reactions. Yanko was like, Yay, let's shout it from the rooftops. I can take you out to a real dinner. I'm going to buy you a steak. And Claire's, like, that was the worst experience of my whole life. And then it makes her really doubt the relationship. And I think she starts to think like, well, even if it is consensual, what is everyone going to think? And is that what my whole identity is going to be in this company? Exactly. And so they sort of stopped seeing each other and they were both so sad. And then at the end, when she comes to him and he hugs her, I was like. [51:27] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: They did a really good job, I think, of portraying multiple women of multiple ages in multiple from different races, consensual to consensual dynamics. At know it was like Hannah mia maybe alex claire like, it was just Bradley. Really interesting to see all of it unfold. [51:51] Dr. Katrina Furey: I totally agree. I thought it was fascinating. I'm excited for us to cover season two. Start watching it. Now that we've recorded this, are there any other final thoughts for our episode today? [52:05] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't think just maybe Mia. I mean, I think we didn't talk about her enough. I wanted to discuss that one scene at the birthday party at the bar when Mia and Hannah and Claire all kind of like, get into it about Mitch. And it was just so interesting. Now, having watched the whole show and knowing all the details, like all of their reactions. Right. Claire is like, they've all been drinking and, you know, like, F, Mitch, we should burn his genitals. And then Mia has a strong reaction to that point. Things can be and Hannah's like, then asks Mia a question. I forget what it was, but that makes Mia then reactive and leave. It was just so interesting then being. [52:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: The three of yeah, yeah. And I feel like mia loved. Like, I feel like they had a relationship, not just an affair. I feel like they were in a relationship. And you even got the sense from his wife that she knew that, too. So I feel like like loves him, and she must feel really mixed up about that. [53:10] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: How did I want to know? How did it start? Because she knew about the know. I'm glad. I think Mia is know the season want. [53:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, I want to see more from Mia. She was such a compelling character. Her character arc, I think, displayed the retaliation and retribution that anyone but women can face in the workplace with something like, so clearly. And we saw that in the past when Mitch wanted her off his team, and then in the future when Chip is trying to do the right thing, so to speak, and fires that guy for being rude and saying something inappropriate. And then she's like, you can't do like, I don't want this to be my whole identity forever. And it's just so complex and complicated. Right? [53:56] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then she kind of speaks into the mic right. The whole studio. And after another person makes a comment, and I'm hopeful that's kind of where it ends. And also then at the end of the day, with the situation with Hannah, and then with, obviously, Alex and Bradley giving that breaking news story, and then it gets cut. [54:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: I loved how it ended like that. [54:16] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I thought it was great to see how everyone was watching it. Right? Like, Fred's, like, running down. Mia locks the door, she locks him out. Chip is outside watching it on Square, and so disheveled. And just Mitch is watching then and then it ends, which I thought was such an interesting scene. It's Mitch, right, sitting at the table, and the camera is, like, at his house, I think. And the camera is just, like, pulling back from him, and he's just sitting there. And it was like, 10 seconds, which is a long time for one scene of him just sitting. And I was like, that's how season one ends. [54:50] Dr. Katrina Furey: Wait till you see season two. That's all I have to say. [54:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: All right, well, we should wrap it up now. [54:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: But this was I feel like we could do ten episodes on this season. There was so much to talk about. I'm impressed with us that we got through so much so quickly. But for anyone out there listening, please interact with us. Let us know.

Alex Levy graduated with Web Development Cohort 55. I have always been addicted to learning. My favorite moments growing up were getting lost in Wikipedia articles, falling down the infinite rabbit hole of citations and references. This manifested as an obsession with all things electronic; I was attracted to the layers of knowledge and innovation that went into these products. In college I chose to focus on areas in which I felt I needed to improve. My educational focus on media and writing was extremely valuable, but left me lacking in the structured knowledge I would need to advance in my field of Medical Technology Repair. I knew I would need to go back to school to further my career. Eager to see where the future takes me.

Esta semana, el podcast va de estrellas, estrellas de la televisión que brillan tanto o más como la del cine. Arrancamos repasando qué es 'Vigil, una conspiración nuclear', la serie que ha roto los audímetros en Reino Unido, y seguimos comentando si tiene algo de relevancia que Netflix anuncia nuevos datos de visionado de sus series. Nuestro personaje es Alex Levy, la diva de 'The Morning Show' que a veces parece casi indistinguible de su intérprete, Jennifer Aniston.
On tonight's #talkintv episode, we discuss the return of one of the breakout shows from 2019, The Morning Show! An American drama streaming television series starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell, that premiered on Apple TV+ on November 1, 2019. The series is inspired by Brian Stelter's book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV. The first season follows Aniston's Alex Levy, who anchors The Morning Show, a popular breakfast news program broadcast from Manhattan on the UBA network, which has excellent viewership ratings and is perceived to have changed the face of American television. After her on-air partner of 15 years, Mitch Kessler (Carell), is fired amidst a sexual misconduct scandal, Alex fights to retain her job as top news anchor while sparking a rivalry with Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon), a haphazard field reporter whose series of impulsive decisions brings her into a new world of television journalism. It ends up spiraling into a giant conspiracy that involves a decades long cover up of abuse and sexual misconduct, which also drags in executive producer Charlie "Chip" Black (Mark Duplass), while studio executive Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup) sees an opportunity for advancement, with plans to take the Morning Show into the 21st Century. Season 2 picks up after Alex & Bradley expose the cover up live on air, and follows the lives of all the UBA workers in the aftermath. Dom & Chris discuss the Season 2 premiere, how it relates to Season 1, how some of the faults of Season 1 may be rectified, and where this show's place in the zeitgeist of streaming is, as Apple has all the money in the world to throw around to a show like this. It's all covered here on the #talkintvpodcast --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/talkintvpodcastgmailcom/support

Roman Krznaric is a public philosopher who writes about the power of ideas to change society. His books, including Empathy, The Wonderbox and Carpe Diem Regained, have been published in more than 20 languages. His new book, The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short Term World, has been described by U2’s The Edge as ‘the book our children’s children will thank us for reading’.Think about it for a second, you and I are living in the one and only planet we currently know for sure that sustains life, in the whole universe. Let that sink in. How do you relate with your immediate surroundings? How does your neighborhood look like? How would you like it to look like for the moment when your kids, and their kids, inherit it? Are we currently living with a lifestyle that embraces the idea that we are living in the only planet that we know of that has life within it? Does this idea make you think about how much do you apply the golden rule in every interaction you have with other people, your surroundings, and the Earth itself?My conversation with Roman and his newest book The Good Ancestor has made me become aware of this. It has always been in my mind, the notion that we haven't found life elsewhere, but I have never thought about how this impacts the life of my children, which I don't plan on having anytime soon, and their children. This is what Roman calls "deep time humility", which means that we can take a step back and think critically about how little time we have to experience life within this blue marble , and how much impact we can have in it.Unfortunately, right now we are affecting it on the negative more than on the positive. This means that the world that my children inherit will almost certainly be left off worse than the one I inherited. Of course, no one ever has in its right mind the goal of leaving the planet worse for our future generations, but that's exactly what we are doing. But, as Roman argues in his book The Good Ancestor, we can do something about it.In this conversation we discussed the many ways in which we can be Good Ancestors, from redesigning our political systems so they can take into account the long-term, how can individuals, such as you and me, live a lifestyle that makes us a Good Ancestor, we discuss six types of long-term thinking, and much more.This is by far one of the most important conversations I will share with you during my trajectory in this show. It made me Think of my future kids, their future kids, and being Good Ancestors; Reading the Good Ancestor has made me want to Apply the Golden Rule with future generations, who have no saying in the world they will inherit, and how being a good ancestor and living a good life are not mutually exclusive but rather excellent complements.I do hope it makes you think about your relationship with the future generations and it makes you go grab a copy of Roman's book, The Good Ancestor, right now, available everywhere books are sold.---Website - www.romankrznaric.comBuy the book here with a 20% discount.Twitter - @romankrznaricWatch Roman's newest TED Talk here— Highlights —(5:56) The Good Ancestor: How To Think Long Term in a Short Term World.

Led by his own experiences as a patient, BJ advocates for the roles of our senses, community and presence in designing a better ending. His interests are in working across disciplines to affect broad-based culture change, cultivating a civic model for aging and dying and furthering the message that suffering and dying are fundamental and intrinsic aspects of life.“Next to birth, death is one of our most profound experiences,” Miller and Berger write. “Shouldn’t we talk about it, prepare for it, use what it can teach us about how to live?”. When it comes to death, we are all beginners.

Neste episodio tive um prazer de conversar com o diretor e produtor brasileiro Alex Levy-Heller. Alex produziu e dirigiu vários filmes, incluindo os documentários “O relógio do meu avô”, “Macaco Tião” e seus dois filmes mais recentes - “Christabel” e “Jovens Polacas”. Tive a sorte de ver “Jovens Polacas” no Cine Brasília, um cinema maravilhoso na capital, pouco antes do início do bloqueio pandêmico. Fiquei impressionado com a sensação muito sutil e poética do filme e quis muito convidar o Alex para o programa. Falamos sobre sua trajetória que é muito interessante e surpreendente, as condições do cinema brasileiro, que tipo de cinema nacional vende no exterior, seu interesse em temas judaicos e sua paixão por artes e dramaturgia. Na segunda parte, passamos algum tempo analisando “Jovens Polacas” e o que o tornou tão bonito de assistir. O filme está disponível em todas as principais plataformas de VOD do Brasil, como Net Now, Oi Play e Vivo Play. Não deixe de conferir e escute a nossa conversa. Até a próxima!
