From the New York Times, this is the interview.

I'm David Marquesie.

Mandy Patinkin and Catherine Grody are a highly successful artistic couple.

He's a Tony Award-winning star, who's also been acting in movies and TV for decades.

You probably know him as Enigo Montoya from the Princess Bride, or maybe as Saul in

homeland.

She's an award winner too for her off-Broadway acting work, and she's also an accomplished

playwright and author.

But in the last few years, they've achieved a newfound fame just by being themselves.

During the pandemic, Catherine and Mandy's younger son, Gideon,

started posting these zany TikTok videos of his parents as they bickered, chatted, joked, kneltled, and were affectionate with each other.

Those videos found a giant fan base online

at a time when people were hungry for a dose of family closeness.

Clearly, people respond to them. So now, the trio is in the early stages of making an advice

podcast. They're also shopping a TV pilot, co-written by Gideon, that's based on their lives

called Seizened. I talked with Mandy and Catherine, who've been married for 45

years, about finding viral success later in life, the ups and downs of their relationship,

parenting, their passionate political activism and feelings about Jewish identity, and a whole

host of other stuff. And thankfully, Gideon came along, too, both to help wrangle his mom and dad and to offer a little perspective.

Here's my conversation with the Grotie-Pitinkin family.

Thank you all for being here.

This is the biggest group I've ever interviewed before.
