The podcast delved into Rauch and Bialik's interactions before they worked together for 'The Big Bang Theory.'

"I was sitting next to Mayim for the table read and trying to figure out how to tell her that I was the biggest fan of 'Blossom' while growing up," Rauch confessed, "I'm talking like a pretty hardcore 'Blossom' fan." The actress went on to share that she dressed up as Bailik's titular character and even reenacted the opening with her childhood best friend.
Rauch then revealed her serious dilemma in how to tell Bialik about the impact 'Blossom' made in her life. "[I] just launched into what a big fan I was and she was so kind and so nice and for what could have been a really awkward exchange because I was basically accosting her behind the stage," the actress shared.
Mayim Bialik's struggle as a mother on set
Bialik went on to discuss her time on the set as one of the first sitcom moms in the industry at the time. "If you don't see a model for that - sitcom actors with infants who are nursing and [have a] toddler - you don't have an idea," she unpacked her struggle of not having a guide in how to balance work and being a mother.
The 'Jeopardy!' host shared that she was grateful to have someone like Rauch as her castmate who eventually became a close friend of hers. "I just remembered feeling really happy that we had some like connection that was beyond 'every time I opened that lady's dressing room like I'm looking at her nipples'," Bialik said as the three shared a laugh. Rauch then also revealed that Bialik used to put up a door sign in her dressing room to let people know she was feeding her children.
