Welcome to our newest podcast - The Hobbyist Arborist! Just kidding... this week Patrick and Sarah talk about Suits S1 Episode 6, titled Tricks of the Trade. They create a "nest of trust" to discuss how they feel about this week's fashion, we hear from Max Topplin on how he got cast as the beloved Harold, we learn which moment from "Old School" Patrick was inspired by in his performance, we rename #sexybits to The Gina Tor-RIZ award, and get a play-by-play of watching Suits with Sarah and Patrick while they are on a plane together.  

This week Sarah and Patrick are talking season 1, episode 5, Bail Out!  Patrick recounts his meeting with a bear, and we introduce a new segment - the Motherload - where Patrick’s mom sends her hot takes on the episode. We answer the age old question - can you really crochet pantyhose, and dive deep into the scene that changed Donna’s trajectory for the rest of the series. Finally, we attempt to solve one of the great Suits mysteries: where on earth is the Mike Ross doll? If you know, reach out to us at the below email!

The myth... the legend... the BOSS - Jessica Pearson is in the studio. This week, Patrick and Sarah speak with Gina Torres on how she got the role,  playing the most powerful person in the room, the moments Gina stood up for Sarah on set, and of course - the clothes. They go all in on the beautiful costumes Gina wore as Jessica, because "there's no reason she wouldn't wear what she wanted to."

The discussion kicks off with quirky takes on the best college pizza and Patrick's unexpected height reveal. A deeper dive into Jessica's character explores why she lacks an assistant, sparking thoughts on operational dynamics. As they unravel legal dramas, Patrick showcases his Braveheart impression, and humor stays alive with anecdotes about bedbugs and character dynamics. Listeners are in for a treat with insights on emotional growth and memorable courtroom antics, all peppered with playful banter.

Suits is in Toronto! This week, Patrick and Sarah dive into episode 3 - Inside Track. We find out what it was like moving to, or in Patrick’s case moving *back* to Toronto and reveal which cast mate lived with both Patrick and Sarah during season 1. We explore Donna’s favorite word, and discuss love triangles, what it’s like to watch your own kissing scenes, and get a little background on the g*ddamn counter.

On this week's episode, Sarah and Patrick break down episode 2 of Suits - Errors and Omissions. And things get a little bit... sexy... They discuss what Sarah is calling the "Tennis Dream Ballet," the process of moving to Toronto and what the city means to them, the line neither of them knew from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, whether or not Harvey should date Lauren, and more.
