S1x05 - "People Always Leave"

Getting Mouthy: ONE more TREE HILL podcast

This week, there's no red light on Peyton's shitty life as we become reaquainted with one of Tree Hill's most depressing and iconic catchphrases, "People Always Leave" (sans its future, and more hopeful, counterpart "but sometimes they come back..." #no spoilers). Lucas continues to be verbally abused by Dan, causing him to debate changing his last name, while Nathan struggles just existing around their shared sperm donor, with everything coming to a head in the annual (?) Father/Son basketball game, conveniently held at a school, in a town, where Father/Son dynamics are at their most toxic whenever basketball is involved. In other news, Haley tells Lucas that she is tutoring Nathan, but leaves out how much she enjoys his hugs (#rawr #no spoilers), Dan doesn't know how to eat pancakes or what a carb is, and cheer practice provokes an existential crisis in all of us.
Join us for our 5th episode and don't forget to leave us a review, wherever you listen to podcasts. We won't quite Brooke ourselves over it, but we'll be pretty happy.
