begin with the idea that

Rather than bandy about the countless theories concerning mommy and daddy issues, lets begin with the idea that you have come to terms with your past and are eager to move forward into your own loving relationship.

与其散播关于妈咪和爸比问题的无数理论，不如让我们以这样的想法开始：你已经能够和自己的过去共处，并且渴望前进步入你自己爱的关系。

That's the idea underlying content into a show, and the next day the watercooler conversations will begin with the phrase "Did you see/ hear last night's episode of X?"

这也就是这个短语出现的缘由。如果在节目中加入一些具有争议性或者比较刺激的内容，那么第二天茶水间寒暄的开场白可能就会是：“你看了/听说昨晚那…事儿了吗？”
