Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen look back at the Season 2's “Grover.” They begin by reflecting on character inspiration drawn not only from the caverns of their souls but also from friends and people they know. Grover’s “aspirational” parents were modeled after real people in their lives, whose picture was even hanging on the writers’ room wall as they crafted the sketches. They revisit 'Everyone's a DJ', a timeless one since it seems like everyone today really is a DJ. Breaking down Kath and Dave, Carrie explains that her “pone” added to Kath’s rage. Speaking of best friends, Carrie’s dogs, Toby and Cricket, also make an appearance. Fred remembers how they were always around in the writers’ room, on set, and in the Airstream dressing room. Music has always been a huge part of Portlandia, and the DMV hold music bit provided the perfect excuse to make some more. They round out the pod, with Fred sharing the secret to Voodoo Doughnut's success, stories about the Gutterpunks sketch and reflecting on scavenger hunts and the “I’m just a little guy” character, a modern day “short king”.
