If you enjoy The Pitt I highly recommend the podcast. I don't know about Apple, but it's a video podcast on Spotify! It's as well done as the show. I'm Mel, but it's a daughter, not a sister on the Spectrum.

Thank you for the outside of politics at the end of every episode, especially as we delve into the devaluation of the $. I'm much further in the doom loop. I'm holding out hope that the midterms will keep us from slipping into the Venezuela territory.

You’re right. I only want to talk about The Pitt and how much I love Dana 🤣🤣. Just binged this show over the last snowstorm. 10/10 no notes. Except Dr Al- Hashimi. They made her really unlikable on purpose and it worked on me.

Answer to prompt: I really relate to Dr. Mohan and how much time and emotional energy she’s puts into helping each patient while knowing Robby is on her for taking too much time. They’re both right and that dynamic speaks to me. She listens to her gut and that’s never wrong.

The Pitt has my heart❤️ I have been a nurse for 20 years (Labor and Delivery/Postpartum) and the only time I was mad at them was during the birth scene… there is NO WAY they wouldn’t have rushed that lady up to L&D even if the baby was hanging out of her. Otherwise, I feel so seen as a Healthcare worker and I think this show does a great service. I think I probably most relate to the new nursing student going from your idea to what being a nurse is with your shiny new stethoscope and badge reel to cleaning a terribly smelling homeless man in the bathroom… I aspire to be in my power as much as Dana though❤️

I’m somewhat commenting as I listen but the other day on the radio, I heard 2 back to back ads of Don Jr. telling you to buy gold. Two different companies, mind you.

Also, just a phenomenal episode overall. I get so in the weeds thinking about our country’s financial situation but you helped me understand it better.

My favorite character on The Pitt is Mel. I love her combination of knowledge and sincerity so much. I relate the most to Dana. I recently turned 50 and I am not taking anyone’s BS any more.

Beth- I’m so glad you came back to the Pitt during winter. We talked during your pool party about how you were a bit stuck watching season and I worried for your empathetic heart with the drowning story.

THE COMPETENCY PORN OF THE PITT! 😭😭😭 truly. Literally the only show I will wait week to week to watch. I say “dangit!!” at the end of each ep but it’s so good!! My hubs has been working in IT in a hospital for two years and he is so excited about this season’s big problem. Noah is doing a phenomenal job. All the characters from main to the “patients” are just amazing. I even found the guy who played Louie reading these beautiful comments about his story line so that’s just such a testament to the writing and acting.

My character—Whittaker minus the ability to handle rodents and whatnot but add a healthy dose of Mel’s tendency towards sensory overload.

Doge was like their version of defund the police. (If their understanding of defund the police is to allow them to commit more crime, not prevent extra judicial violence)

Just wondering, did I miss an announcement regarding the video recording? The last two I tried to watch had no footage.

I was wondering the same thing!! Thanks for asking and thanks for explaining guys!

Thanks for watching! We didn’t announce the change. We have a very quick turnaround time for Pantsuit Politics. Even with the magic of technology, turning around a video episode in less than 24 hours is a big lift for our team and partners. So, the video will be up on YouTube later in the week if you’d like to watch (also last Friday’s will get there, I - Maggie - had the flu last week and was not up for things). But we’re going to to try this for now.

Gotcha, no problem!

Just starting the episode, but I've only seen season 1 of The Pitt so I'm scared to listen to Outside Politics! Are there spoilers? (I don't have HBO, so I'm hoping season 2 eventually also comes to Hulu, as season 1 is currently.)

Heidi K's avatar

I think there’s only one minor season 2 spoiler, and it’s the kind of thing you would see in a trailer. They mostly talk about the characters and the vibes of the show.

Thanks Heidi!
