Today we’re traveling to a little place called Helsinki in Episode 5: “Helsinki”.

SYNOPSIS: Selina and her staff head to Helsinki to finalize a trade agreement, but are worried whether Selina will be received warmly in Europe after the song. Dan calls Mike for advice on charming the press and Ben and Kent argue over new intelligence, while Mike employs the services of Jonah to help him on a special White House project. 

In this episode, we’re introduced to Minna Häkkinen, played by the hilarious Sally Phillips who joins Matt and Tim for a chat. If you thought Sally was really Finnish, her language studies really paid off because she’s not actually Finnish. She recalls being terrified by meeting and improving with her comedy hero: Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

You made it to another episode of Second in Command! On today’s episode we recap Episode 4: “The Vic Allen Dinner”

SYNOPSIS: Selina and the team prepare for the annual Vic Allen Dinner, as the news takes on the hostage story. The White House releases a photo other than the good one Selina selected. Sue and Gary are unhappy, so to placate Gary Selina has lunch with him and his girlfriend. 

With Tim coming back into the studio, the co-hosts get right back into some “healthy-ish” banter while they look back on the episode, and as prophesized by Julia Louis-Dreyfus herself, it perhaps becomes more apparent than ever that they may need a good couple’s therapy session…or two.

Do we have a treat for you today Second in Commanders. Today on the pod, we have a very special guest. Holding the record for the most Primetime Emmy wins as an actor for the same role, this actress goes by many names. Some call her Veep, Selina Meyer, a comedy legend, and many more. Today we’re hanging out with the queen herself: Julia Louis-Dreyfus!

Matt and Julia take a stroll down memory lane as they catch-up as long time co-stars. Julia recalls how she developed the iconic character and how becoming President was not always the plan for Selina Meyer. She also talks about how it was her idea to have the main character shit her pants in the first season. Trust me you don’t want to miss this one!
