Eden Sher & Brock Ciarlelli: A Friendship Built Off Script

What happens when the friendship that got you through growing up on a hit TV show has to survive real life once the cameras stop rolling? That's the story of Eden Sher and Brock Ciarlelli...Eden and Brock met as teenagers on the set of The Middle, playing Sue Heck and Brad Bottig for nine seasons before it became something more than a job. These days, Eden's debut comedy special, I Was On a Sitcom, is streaming, and you've probably seen Brock in Bros or Netflix's Glamorous. But nearly two decades later, they're still each other's person.Dr. Miriam sits down with two people who've spent almost twenty years proving that brutal honesty is its own love language. Eden and Brock talk about the moment vulnerability first cracked the professional wall between them, why being each other's "safety net" carried them through the identity whiplash of growing up on a hit show, and the strange, tiny "Venn diagram" of people who've seen them as both their characters and themselves. They also get into the time Brock talked Eden down mid-meltdown over a font on her comedy special poster ("It's fine. No one cares."), and why, for them, humor is its own form of vulnerability.Pull up a chair. This one will make you grateful for the friend who tells you the truth about your font choices.--Follow your new friends: @eden_sher & @brockciarlelliYour friendship questions deserve answers.
