This week I wanted to share something special, a clip from another podcast that I am loving right now from ABC and Good Morning America called Pop Culture Moms.

Andy and Sabrina have been best friends for 20 years. On Pop Culture

Moms, the toddler moms are taking their obsession with TV and movies to the next level by talking

to celebrities, writers, and fellow scholars of pop culture about what they can learn from the fictional moms they love most.

Together, Andy and Sabrina explore the comedy and tragedy of what parenthood is like in real life. In this episode,

euphoria actress Alana Yubach talks about the pros and cons of being a cool mom

like her character, Sue's Howard, a trope made famous by the

original Mean Girls movie. Okay, here comes the clip. If you like it, I hope

you'll click the link in our episode description or search pop culture moms while you're

listening and follow along for more. So that's why you're here because we're

basically desperate to learn about just everything you've learned playing suits Howard.

Well, suits Howard was based on a cool mom I grew up with, Linda Morales,

and she was my best friend's mom. My best friend

Jesse Morales, we met in a sandbox when we were two, three and Jesse Morales was

effeminate. Jesse Morales was smaller than the other boys.

He liked to play with dolls.

I just thought he was the most amazing original human

I'd ever met, and I loved him so much. His mother was very protective of him from the time he was a kid.

So by the time he was a teenager she wanted him to be the popular gay kid in school. We were from a very small town and there were a lot of machismo Latinos.

So that's what he was up against.

So his mom wanted to make her house as safe as possible.

It was a safe haven.
