BED SAND - Rock Climbing Situationships, Boomer Parents & Brooklyn Luxury

Season 1, Ep. 36

This week on Spare Parts, Evan is settling into his new Brooklyn apartment and soaking up the luxury while it lasts. Is it sustainable? Probably not. But he’s going to enjoy it, damnit.


Meanwhile, Michelle’s dad swings by for a classic boomer-style visit, and the East Coast vs. West Coast debate is back after Michelle confidently declares, “I’ve figured out what my culture is.” It involves sand in the bed, and it kind of makes sense… kind of.


Our hosts also tackle some Spare Hearts questions about rock climbing situationships and mothers-in-law who refuse to respect boundaries. As always, their qualifications are questionable, but their opinions are not.

    43:53||Season 1, Ep. 35
    This week on Spare Parts, Evan ropes his wife’s entire family into helping him choose the perfect sketches for his SNL audition, while Michelle discovers that maybe the healthiest thing you can do with anger… is actually feel it. Turns out that’s a pretty useful skill for actors, too.They also debate whether reality TV dating stars are genuinely looking for love or just making a savvy career move. After years working on film sets, Michelle and Evan compare production life to reality TV: when you’re living in a bubble, cut off from friends, family, and the real world, feelings can get complicated.If you haven’t figured it out by now, Michelle’s still homebound with Clementine and somehow 20 episodes deep into Love Island. Everyone needs to stop being so “lustful”.
