- 2:38Speaker 3: woman named Colleena, and she works at Channel nine in
- 2:41Speaker 3: Los Angeles. I asked her what time do you go
- 2:44Speaker 3: to the office, because she does the morning news two
- 2:48Speaker 3: thirty in the morning every day, My god, every day.

- 3:08Speaker 1: You could go to about a six pm.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my gosh, Well it was worth it to
- 3:13Speaker 3: wake up this hour because of the Perfect Dress.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in bed, Amy's in bed where she is.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Suzanne looks totally normal because of her mascara.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Yeah, I had to put mascara, and also my husband's
- 3:25Speaker 4: in bed, so I couldn't be in bed. Also, so
- 3:27Speaker 4: I'm downstairs in the guest room and had to kick
- 3:32Speaker 4: the cat out. So she's probably gonna join us at
- 3:34Speaker 4: some point.
- 3:35Speaker 1: All right, let's rock and roll gang.
- 3:38Speaker 3: So this episode, Oh wait, Susanne, you have to do
- 3:41Speaker 3: the synopsis.
- 3:44Speaker 1: We're all discombobulated here me.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody's gonna want to stay tuned because you don't
- 3:49Speaker 3: know what's going to happen this episode. Because we're all like,
- 3:52Speaker 3: it's in the middle of the night.
- 3:54Speaker 4: We're probably gonna say some really stupid things. All right.
- 3:58Speaker 4: This is a season six episode eleven, The Perfect Dress.
- 4:01Speaker 4: It aired on January tenth, two thousand and six. Lorlai
- 4:04Speaker 4: finds the Perfect Dress and it sets everything in motion
- 4:07Speaker 4: for her. In Luke's wedding day, Rory is back at Yale,
- 4:10Speaker 4: but not everyone is happy about her new apartment with
- 4:12Speaker 4: Paris and Doyle. Plus, Logan makes a big confession to
- 4:16Speaker 4: Rory which makes her feel a little crazy, and Luke
- 4:19Speaker 4: confronts Anna Nardini about April.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, a lot in this.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a busy episode.
- 4:29Speaker 3: So I will begin, we will go in order. But
- 4:32Speaker 3: it is the perfect dress.
- 4:36Speaker 4: What you don't like it? I liked the dress that
- 4:41Speaker 4: she held up back in season five. I guess it
- 4:46Speaker 4: was when Emily was trying on dresses for the vow
- 4:50Speaker 4: renewal and loss. Okay, okay, there was a dress she
- 4:53Speaker 4: held up in that episode that I thought was perfect,
- 4:56Speaker 4: and I think.
- 4:58Speaker 3: I actually thought she looked stunning. Well, Scott, don't tell
- 5:01Speaker 3: us what you thought until we get to that scene,
- 5:03Speaker 3: but I thought it was pretty amazing. So the episode
- 5:09Speaker 3: starts pretty funny, with Kirk literally in the diner getting
- 5:13Speaker 3: up and getting his own coffee, and Luke saying, what
- 5:16Speaker 3: in the hell do you think you're doing? And I
- 5:20Speaker 3: don't know, that made me laugh, Like that little bit
- 5:22Speaker 3: just sort of made me laugh.
- 5:25Speaker 4: I have read in articles somewhere that that was kind
- 5:28Speaker 4: of the inspiration for Amy Sherman Palladino, as she and
- 5:32Speaker 4: Dan were on a trip back east somewhere and they
- 5:34Speaker 4: were in this little diner and it was that kind
- 5:37Speaker 4: of a place where the customers would just get up
- 5:40Speaker 4: and serve themselves their own coffee refills, and that was
- 5:44Speaker 4: sort of the impetus behind, you know, this whole small
- 5:47Speaker 4: town stars hollow thing. So I thought it was a
- 5:51Speaker 4: cute little throwback.
- 5:54Speaker 1: What did you think of yourself, Scott, I thought I
- 5:57Speaker 1: quitted myself well as a diner runner. I'm very proud
- 6:01Speaker 1: of that betrayal. I find it odd that I didn't
- 6:06Speaker 1: rip him a new one the way I did Suki
- 6:08Speaker 1: when she went behind my counter.
- 6:10Speaker 3: I know, but you did rip him, but maybe a little.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Less, a little less, Luke. Huh.
- 6:18Speaker 4: It was kind of a kindler jettler.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Luke, Well, I think he's happier, he's getting married. Yeah,
- 6:24Speaker 1: it's like, let it.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Go, bro, and then they have their moment. Oh, only
- 6:28Speaker 3: people you're sleeping with get to come behind the counter.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Basically, yeah, yeah, it up and I know you exactly.
- 6:38Speaker 3: So then we get the fun pay off, which at
- 6:42Speaker 3: first it took me a second with the girls coming
- 6:44Speaker 3: in and they had gone to Atlantic City to do
- 6:48Speaker 3: the birthday and that was pretty great because I'm glad
- 6:56Speaker 3: they did it.
- 6:57Speaker 1: And then yeah, leave it to them pick up every
- 7:00Speaker 1: kitchy little item and make every quippy, little clever comment
- 7:05Speaker 1: about the entire experience. It was just all of Palladino
- 7:10Speaker 1: opining about Atlantic City.
- 7:12Speaker 3: I laughed so hard. We couldn't see journey with the
- 7:15Speaker 3: fake for the fake lead singer, or in excess with
- 7:18Speaker 3: the fake lead singer settled on.
- 7:27Speaker 1: It's a great look line to Tony Danza said, I
- 7:33Speaker 1: don't know. I think I just kind of rolled my eyes.
- 7:35Speaker 1: I said something. I hope somebody can. I can put
- 7:39Speaker 1: that up because this is because I do have a
- 7:41Speaker 1: Tony dancer story. Actually, kid.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Talk to me about Tony Danza. I love me, I
- 7:48Speaker 3: love Tony Danza.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Well, I guess I won't tell this story.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Have you ever worked with Tony Danza?
- 7:57Speaker 1: No, I never worked. It's just a situation in a
- 8:00Speaker 1: nightclub that I kind of got into a thing.
- 8:04Speaker 3: You're not alone because people have been getting it too
- 8:06Speaker 3: in getting into Tony Danza.
- 8:11Speaker 1: But this was like, this was like nineteen eighty five,
- 8:14Speaker 1: and was it the height of Who's the Boss fame?
- 8:17Speaker 1: I think it was. Yeah, And there was a place
- 8:19Speaker 1: called Carlos and Charlie's on Sunset, which on I think
- 8:22Speaker 1: Wednesday nights or Tuesday nights, had a big thing going
- 8:25Speaker 1: on upstairs. It was the restaurant down below. But then
- 8:28Speaker 1: they had a club upstairs, so everybody went to that,
- 8:30Speaker 1: right and Yeah, got into a little sort of standoff. Oh,
- 8:36Speaker 1: a little standoff. I like it over twenty bucks iurisode
- 8:41Speaker 1: so oh and I got my money?
- 8:45Speaker 3: Oh good. I think I've said this before when Tony
- 8:48Speaker 3: Danza must have come up in pop culture, but I
- 8:50Speaker 3: can't help but think of the friends when Phoebe's like, oh,
- 8:54Speaker 3: I love the song, the Elton Johns song about Tony Danza,
- 8:57Speaker 3: and Rachel's like what She's like, hold me close, young
- 9:01Speaker 3: Tony dance.
- 9:07Speaker 1: But then he went on to do uh he was
- 9:10Speaker 1: he became He's a song and dance man.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Now yeah he's yeah, he's dancing his way.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Singing and dancing and telling jokes and the whole thing.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Dancing in New York.
- 9:21Speaker 1: He's just got to entertain.
- 9:31Speaker 3: We go from there to I'm pretty happy because I
- 9:37Speaker 3: was ready for Rory to go back to school, so
- 9:39Speaker 3: we sort of have the moment where she's we realize
- 9:42Speaker 3: she's heading back to school, and I think there's a
- 9:44Speaker 3: line that Laura Lai says, you're gonna live with Paris
- 9:48Speaker 3: in her apartment, so we get that, so you're gonna live
- 9:50Speaker 3: with Paris again again.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Did you guys notice in that scene where they were
- 9:59Speaker 4: outside the art that it was clearly filmed either on
- 10:04Speaker 4: two different days or in two different locations or something,
- 10:07Speaker 4: because Rory was in daylight, but Laurelai looking the other direction,
- 10:15Speaker 4: it looked like the fake daylight, like when they shoot
- 10:17Speaker 4: it at night and try to light it like it
- 10:20Speaker 4: was daytime. But sometimes you can tell it was really weird.
- 10:23Speaker 3: No, I don't have to.
- 10:24Speaker 4: I live for that where they're outside the house and
- 10:28Speaker 4: they're getting like Rory's putting her stuff in the car
- 10:31Speaker 4: and she's getting ready to drive back to Yale and
- 10:37Speaker 4: she's going to Paris's house and all that, and.
- 10:39Speaker 3: She got to see the school psychologist, and you could
- 10:43Speaker 3: tell I didn't realize Laurelai was so anti therapy. Obviously
- 10:49Speaker 3: she needs to go to the school psychologists, Like, are
- 10:51Speaker 3: you kidding me? She stole a yacht and dropped out
- 10:53Speaker 3: of school, like no one's been needing a school psychologist more.
- 10:59Speaker 4: Yeah, they all needed psychologist.
- 11:01Speaker 3: I wonder if they started too late in the day
- 11:02Speaker 3: and lost the light.
- 11:04Speaker 4: It could have been, but it was clearly two different
- 11:07Speaker 4: two different shots.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they'll set up a big white silk screen
- 11:12Speaker 1: and then blast some light off it. M you know,
- 11:16Speaker 1: there's there are many techniques. I think that's one of them.
- 11:19Speaker 1: If yeah, it's getting into dusk and they'll do that
- 11:21Speaker 1: to brighten it up.
- 11:23Speaker 4: Yeah, because there was a lot of shadows behind lorele ied,
- 11:25Speaker 4: so it looked like it was at night.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Later.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Well, not to be a wardrobe litpicker, but I loved
- 11:33Speaker 3: Rory's coat, the red coat. I don't know what that's called,
- 11:37Speaker 3: like that pattern, but you know that pat, it's it's
- 11:40Speaker 3: almost like tweed or I was going to say, I
- 11:41Speaker 3: think it's tweed. Yeah, I commented to my husband on it.
- 11:44Speaker 3: I thought it was really cute me too. The coat
- 11:46Speaker 3: was amazing. They kind of distracted me too much with
- 11:49Speaker 3: the blue scarf. You know how they are with scarfs.
- 11:51Speaker 3: It's cold, so put a scarf on. That's how we
- 11:54Speaker 3: indicate it's winter and starts all out, but I love
- 11:57Speaker 3: the coat. I was like, oh, this coat is pretty iconic.
- 12:01Speaker 1: The reason they do that is because it's one hundred
- 12:03Speaker 1: and fifty degrees in Burbank and they got to play winter.
- 12:08Speaker 1: So it's like, can I just please just put a
- 12:11Speaker 1: little scarf on very same and then and the audience
- 12:15Speaker 1: will get it it's winter. But I don't want to
- 12:18Speaker 1: sweat all day. You know, it's brutally hot in bird
- 12:22Speaker 1: Bank when we're shooting that stuff. Brutally hot.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually can't imagine having to shoot in a
- 12:28Speaker 3: coat in Burbank. Almost anytime, everybody.
- 12:31Speaker 1: In every town hall meeting, every extra everybody was sweating
- 12:36Speaker 1: our brains out in those town hall meetings.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Yeah, for people listening that aren't in California, it's December
- 12:46Speaker 3: right now. And if I was wearing even a wool
- 12:49Speaker 3: coat like that during the day, I would be the guy.
- 12:53Speaker 3: I'm wearing a T shirt during the day. Gets cold
- 12:56Speaker 3: at night, a little chillier at night. You could shoot
- 12:58Speaker 3: those scenes at night maybe without being miserable, but during
- 13:02Speaker 3: the day like this.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Is this is the sissies they turned you into and acting.
- 13:05Speaker 1: They treat you like royalty, and then they make you
- 13:08Speaker 1: dress up in winter clothes and gloves and hats and
- 13:12Speaker 1: jackets and thermals and go into a tent that's one
- 13:15Speaker 1: hundred and twenty degrees in there, and they're paying you
- 13:17Speaker 1: gobs of money and you still complain. But it's like,
- 13:21Speaker 1: you know, people do this all day every day and
- 13:24Speaker 1: they get scott wages and they don't complain. So yeah, yeah,
- 13:27Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's like, just deal with it, bro.
- 13:30Speaker 3: We got a little glimpse of Paul Ink in the car.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I was cue you ever played Paul Anka. It is
- 13:37Speaker 3: a good dog.
- 13:38Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a good boy.
- 13:40Speaker 3: So then the next scene is Suki and Laurai at
- 13:44Speaker 3: the diner wedding planning, which we can talk about. It
- 13:47Speaker 3: threw me a little that Lane was so mad, but
- 13:50Speaker 3: I'm just assuming she's just got like remaining anger from Zach.
- 13:56Speaker 3: It's not that Lorali.
- 13:58Speaker 1: No.
- 13:59Speaker 4: I think she was just still in a funk because
- 14:01Speaker 4: they broke up and the band kind of disintegrated.
- 14:06Speaker 1: So every every time I'm in a scene, and it's
- 14:08Speaker 1: not often with Melissa, I always feel the same way.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I said, how did a guy like me end up
- 14:16Speaker 1: doing a scene like this with somebody like that in
- 14:20Speaker 1: a place like that, Yeah, because it's like I'm acting
- 14:24Speaker 1: with like one of the big movie stars of the world, right,
- 14:28Speaker 1: one of the most talented movie stars of our era.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Let's face it, she'll get a star on the Walk
- 14:35Speaker 1: of Fame, you know, she's been nominated for Oscars, you know,
- 14:39Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's like there, I am exchanging dialogue
- 14:42Speaker 1: with her, and it's just it's just really cool to see.
- 14:46Speaker 1: That's that's the thing that takes me out of the
- 14:48Speaker 1: show and I and I just you're a fan fanboy.
- 14:55Speaker 1: It's like, because I'm such a fan and it's like
- 14:58Speaker 1: I'm working with her, It's like I worked, but I
- 15:01Speaker 1: could tell my grandkids if I live that long, that
- 15:05Speaker 1: I worked with Melissa McCarthy on a semi regular basis.
- 15:10Speaker 3: A very regular basis. I saw an interview I think
- 15:13Speaker 3: she did the other day talking about how she was
- 15:17Speaker 3: almost thirty and it kind of wasn't happening for her
- 15:22Speaker 3: and this show was the career changer for her because
- 15:27Speaker 3: it was really the first regular job she'd ever had
- 15:32Speaker 3: and she didn't have to ask her parents. I think
- 15:34Speaker 3: she said for like twenty four dollars to pay in
- 15:36Speaker 3: the electric bill all the time. And yeah, I think
- 15:39Speaker 3: it probably is the reason we have the Melissa McCarthy
- 15:43Speaker 3: we have is because of this show, because I think
- 15:45Speaker 3: she sort of admits she would have gone into She
- 15:47Speaker 3: wouldn't have left the entertainment business, but she would have
- 15:49Speaker 3: gone into producing, which obviously she does do now. But
- 15:54Speaker 3: I don't think we ever would have maybe had the
- 15:58Speaker 3: Melissa McCarthy we know.
- 16:00Speaker 1: And it just makes me a man. It makes me
- 16:02Speaker 1: think of how many people like her we didn't get
- 16:07Speaker 1: to enjoy, that didn't that gave up that you know,
- 16:11Speaker 1: it was like or you know, their circumstances, their family
- 16:15Speaker 1: circumstances required them to pull out a Hollywood to come
- 16:18Speaker 1: home and take care of your mom, your brother, your dad,
- 16:21Speaker 1: your sister, you know, this kind of thing. And it's just,
- 16:24Speaker 1: you know, she's the one that was in the circumstances
- 16:28Speaker 1: and hung in there, you know, because at thirty and
- 16:31Speaker 1: if you started, you know, from the time you were
- 16:34Speaker 1: a little kid and you did your high school programs
- 16:36Speaker 1: and you did your college programs. It's just such a
- 16:38Speaker 1: feel good story. I love the Melissa McCarthy's story. It's
- 16:41Speaker 1: a it's a it's a it's an American feel good,
- 16:45Speaker 1: stick to it, stick to itiveness, determined, I'm going to
- 16:51Speaker 1: make it. I'm not going to quit. And if you're thirty,
- 16:54Speaker 1: you've given your your entire twenties to try and to
- 16:57Speaker 1: make it in this business and you haven't popped yet.
- 17:01Speaker 1: That's courageous to hang in, you know. I mean I
- 17:05Speaker 1: was twenty six or twenty seven in baseball and I
- 17:09Speaker 1: just screw it, man, I'm not going to waste any
- 17:12Speaker 1: more time with this. I gotta start something new because
- 17:16Speaker 1: I'm still young enough and have the energy and the
- 17:18Speaker 1: termination to relaunch something. You know.
- 17:22Speaker 3: How long was it for you from going from baseball
- 17:26Speaker 3: to actually like being a working.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Actor you mean Gilmore?
- 17:32Speaker 3: No, I mean like when did you have Seinfeldt where
- 17:34Speaker 3: you were starting to get things that were like, Okay,
- 17:36Speaker 3: I'm getting jobs.
- 17:38Speaker 1: I don't know that probably took jobs to god jobs
- 17:43Speaker 1: probably took five years.
- 17:44Speaker 3: I mean that's a long time.
- 17:46Speaker 1: No, it took five years to really kind of get
- 17:51Speaker 1: you mean, you know, film or TV.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I feel like, Okay, I'm doing this job.
- 17:56Speaker 1: I was in New York doing theater, so I wasn't.
- 17:59Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was auditioning for stuff and
- 18:02Speaker 1: almost getting it. Films and almost getting it, not quite
- 18:06Speaker 1: getting it, that kind of thing.
- 18:08Speaker 3: What's worse almost getting it or not almost getting it?
- 18:12Speaker 1: Seems almost getting it is not a bad thing. It's
- 18:15Speaker 1: a good thing because then people in the casting community
- 18:18Speaker 1: know who you are because they all talk.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Right.
- 18:21Speaker 1: If you go in for something really big and really
- 18:23Speaker 1: good and classy and you almost get it, it's like,
- 18:27Speaker 1: I think that one of the better things that happened
- 18:30Speaker 1: in my career, early in my career was I almost
- 18:33Speaker 1: got the Mister Blonde browl in Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino's
- 18:37Speaker 1: first film. It came down to Michael Mattz and me
- 18:43Speaker 1: right and I was four auditions later. I was crushed.
- 18:47Speaker 1: I was absolutely crushed. Went back to New York with
- 18:50Speaker 1: my table between my legs. But you know, my teacher
- 18:52Speaker 1: was like, Scott, you know this is huge for you.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I mean, now your name is being bandied about in
- 19:00Speaker 1: the casting community in LA in New York. It's great,
- 19:04Speaker 1: said something. Now, something's going to pop now, and it did.
- 19:08Speaker 1: So wow. Yeah, So that's it's always good to be
- 19:12Speaker 1: in the running. And I'm sure Melissa felt the same way.
- 19:15Speaker 1: She was probably getting super close to everything, and that's
- 19:18Speaker 1: why it was with Gilmore, I was nailing auditions and
- 19:22Speaker 1: just like thinking I was going to get the offer
- 19:24Speaker 1: for two solid years before I got Gilmore Girls. Everything
- 19:28Speaker 1: I went in on, I was like, I'm going to
- 19:30Speaker 1: get this. Yes, of course, the offer's coming. And then
- 19:33Speaker 1: something at the last minute. What happened. It's like, well, listen,
- 19:39Speaker 1: he did great and blah blah blah.
- 19:41Speaker 3: But well, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves.
- 19:45Speaker 3: But I think there's going to be an interesting conversation
- 19:47Speaker 3: coming up about cheryln Fenn, because it's pretty well known
- 19:51Speaker 3: she was almost Lowerli, right, I won't get ahead of ourselves,
- 19:57Speaker 3: but because I sort of, well, we're gonna get ahead
- 20:00Speaker 3: of ourselves. I don't like that she played two parts
- 20:05Speaker 3: to like really important roles a lot.
- 20:09Speaker 1: I don't know. I take all the Cherylyn Finn, I
- 20:12Speaker 1: get the same, but I just you know, she's lovely,
- 20:15Speaker 1: she's delightful to.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Yes, except it's for me, yeah, and maybe other people. Suzanne,
- 20:21Speaker 3: I guess I want your take the most, and we'll
- 20:23Speaker 3: get back on track. But she is in the episode
- 20:27Speaker 3: very prominently as Jess's dad's girlfriend. She is that whole episode,
- 20:35Speaker 3: and she's very major this isn't like playing a you know,
- 20:40Speaker 3: background actor one liner and then she's back again in
- 20:45Speaker 3: a completely different role that's really really major. And I
- 20:50Speaker 3: get it obviously, because that pilot didn't go they wanted
- 20:54Speaker 3: to use sheryln Fenn again recurring, So I get it,
- 20:58Speaker 3: but it's a little hard for me where I'm like,
- 21:00Speaker 3: that's literally a different person in guilt.
- 21:04Speaker 1: So that there's something my mom used to advise me on,
- 21:08Speaker 1: you know what she'd say to me, and I'll I'll
- 21:10Speaker 1: extend this advice to you. Yeah, get over it, thank you.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Moving on, Susanne, what do you think? What do you
- 21:19Speaker 3: say to it?
- 21:20Speaker 4: Well, I will admit that the first time I saw,
- 21:23Speaker 4: like my first viewing of the show, I didn't even
- 21:26Speaker 4: realize the actress. I didn't even notice it. It doesn't
- 21:33Speaker 4: really bother me because she was one of the major
- 21:36Speaker 4: characters in that episode, but she was only in that episode, like,
- 21:40Speaker 4: we never saw her again after that, right thing, you know,
- 21:44Speaker 4: that full California thing didn't take off, So I think
- 21:47Speaker 4: if she had been in more than that one episode,
- 21:49Speaker 4: it probably would have been like, well, wait a minute,
- 21:51Speaker 4: what's going on here? But since it was just that
- 21:53Speaker 4: one isolated episode, that kind of didn't really fit into
- 21:56Speaker 4: the rest of the story. It didn't bother me as much,
- 21:59Speaker 4: but I.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Was yeah, look, I mean, I guess you're she can
- 22:03Speaker 3: be a new character and it look, it's better that
- 22:06Speaker 3: episode than any other because that was sort of a
- 22:08Speaker 3: weird You could skip that episode and kind of be
- 22:12Speaker 3: fine with you're not missing anything really, And she was.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Also in the spinoff pilot for Milo and Roberst.
- 22:20Speaker 3: That's what we're talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
- 22:24Speaker 3: sort of a weird, isolated episode.
- 22:27Speaker 1: And she was great that she showed She showed her
- 22:30Speaker 1: range in that role too, and this.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Character is very different from that person ish ish But anyway,
- 22:38Speaker 3: I may be alone that I'm like, oh, I just
- 22:41Speaker 3: wish she would have been only this. And also people
- 22:44Speaker 3: hate her. So people really do not like Anna Nardini,
- 22:51Speaker 3: which we'll get to well, there'll be a lot to
- 22:53Speaker 3: talk about.
- 22:53Speaker 1: They don't like anything Nargini. They just don't know. Yeah,
- 22:58Speaker 1: they don't want Luke's past. And you know what, if
- 23:01Speaker 1: God bless these fans, man, they're so protective of Laurelia
- 23:05Speaker 1: and that relationship and the Luke Laurelai relationship that it
- 23:08Speaker 1: just makes me I don't know. I am honored. I
- 23:13Speaker 1: am honored.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Yeah. So okay, so before we get to Anna, we
- 23:18Speaker 3: go to Charland.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Friend is freaking awesome.
- 23:22Speaker 3: I know you must have loved working with her. But
- 23:24Speaker 3: we'll get to that. We'll get to that love. And
- 23:25Speaker 3: she's so cute and she is very Laurelai.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Ish like you.
- 23:30Speaker 3: We get why Luke dated her. Mm hmm she was
- 23:40Speaker 3: so First we get to Paris' apartment, so I don't know,
- 23:44Speaker 3: you guys give your thoughts on the apartment.
- 23:48Speaker 1: You know when when I my first year in college,
- 23:51Speaker 1: I lived in a place like that too, but it
- 23:53Speaker 1: was a house. It was a house filled with graduate students.
- 23:56Speaker 3: And me, it's not even bad that apartment. Why, it's
- 24:01Speaker 3: not that bad.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Yeah, the apartment was garbage. What are you kidding me?
- 24:06Speaker 3: It's not that bad.
- 24:08Speaker 1: It was garbage. It's big, Come on, big, what are
- 24:11Speaker 1: you talking about.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Well, as college apartments.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Go, already, they had the space, but they it was
- 24:18Speaker 1: in a bad area. Man.
- 24:20Speaker 4: It was like, I would not have been happy if
- 24:23Speaker 4: my kid moved in.
- 24:24Speaker 1: No. Yeah, you know, you know the Willem Dafoe was
- 24:29Speaker 1: going to show up and any minute on a motorcycle.
- 24:32Speaker 1: The devilish grint. I mean, come on, man, it's like
- 24:36Speaker 1: gangs in New York.
- 24:37Speaker 3: So we do in our house have a dog on
- 24:41Speaker 3: a thing, you know, like you know how they had
- 24:45Speaker 3: the dog playing the dog on the radio or whatever.
- 24:48Speaker 3: They have that radio that has the dog on it.
- 24:50Speaker 3: So we have to have that because it scares away bears.
- 24:54Speaker 3: So in Tahoe that you have this somehow it sort
- 24:58Speaker 3: of knows movement so if like a bear comes towards
- 25:01Speaker 3: the window, the dog barks. So I was like, oh god,
- 25:04Speaker 3: it's not bigger than That's not that big a deal.
- 25:08Speaker 3: I'm okay with that. And Paris is like literally wrestling Doyle.
- 25:13Speaker 3: I was just like, what is happening? What is happening?
- 25:21Speaker 3: Have you done Krav McGaugh.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Ever, Nope, I have done many things, but not that.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Neither Suzanne, have you?
- 25:28Speaker 4: Oh my gods.
- 25:32Speaker 3: I still say it's not a bad apartment.
- 25:33Speaker 1: But I do a couple of deep knee bends. Call
- 25:36Speaker 1: it a day.
- 25:37Speaker 3: There you go, Okay. So then we go to town
- 25:43Speaker 3: a town, which all I wanted to do was figure
- 25:46Speaker 3: out what town they where? They were in LA.
- 25:48Speaker 4: I was like, where Montrose, Montrose?
- 25:53Speaker 3: No way? Random?
- 25:55Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I didn't look it up, but I
- 25:57Speaker 4: think I remembered that from the past.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Because it definitely not stars Hollow. It's not a lot.
- 26:04Speaker 3: It's like a studio lot. It is they're shooting somewhere.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Was it a real wedding dress shop? They went to
- 26:10Speaker 3: Suzanne like an actual.
- 26:12Speaker 4: It looks it looks like it. Yeah, it's a maternity
- 26:17Speaker 4: and baby boutique. It looks like I'm trying to read
- 26:21Speaker 4: the signe a unique maternity, baby and breastfeeding boutique belly.
- 26:25Speaker 3: Okay, that's kind of amazing that they decided that was
- 26:28Speaker 3: the place to turn into a wedding dress shop. But okay,
- 26:32Speaker 3: so you guys do not love the dress. I actually
- 26:35Speaker 3: thought that.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Okay, I like the dress. Now we're talking about the
- 26:38Speaker 1: dress like it. I thought the dress the.
- 26:41Speaker 4: Dress, Scott what?
- 26:43Speaker 3: Okay, Well, she still hasn't tried it on yet, so
- 26:46Speaker 3: first we just see it and she sees it.
- 26:49Speaker 1: I think it was perfect for her. I think it
- 26:53Speaker 1: fit her personality. It was a little on the riskue
- 26:56Speaker 1: side because it showed, you know, back and in arms,
- 27:00Speaker 1: but it just still was classy, I thought, and she
- 27:04Speaker 1: pulled it off so it had a nice balance to it.
- 27:08Speaker 1: And you know that I wasn't acting in that scene
- 27:11Speaker 1: when I.
- 27:12Speaker 3: I believe it. She looks amazing.
- 27:15Speaker 1: I thought she looked great in that dress. And I
- 27:18Speaker 1: totally agreed with the dress. All I'm all in on
- 27:22Speaker 1: the dress. Oh yeah, I like it.
- 27:24Speaker 3: I like it. Okay, So we get the dress and
- 27:27Speaker 3: we'll talk about how that Suddenly the wedding's planned and
- 27:30Speaker 3: we're done. But first we go to we realized Laane
- 27:34Speaker 3: has sort of moved back in home again. M So,
- 27:38Speaker 3: what did you all think? She's in a cute hat
- 27:41Speaker 3: and she's kind of sort of her mother's daughter for sure,
- 27:45Speaker 3: So what did you all think of that?
- 27:48Speaker 1: I thought she was, you know, it was like her
- 27:51Speaker 1: late adolescent rebellion was delayed until her twenties, and she
- 27:57Speaker 1: was doing the things that she should have done when
- 28:00Speaker 1: she was fifteen and sixteen or whatever, fourteen or and
- 28:05Speaker 1: very strong, and I just felt bad for missus Kim
- 28:09Speaker 1: being such a caring and obviously overbearing, admittedly overbearing mother.
- 28:14Speaker 1: But that's just, you know, that's just how it is.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Coming into the United States, a lot of you know,
- 28:21Speaker 1: cultures come in and it's kind of terrifying the freedoms
- 28:27Speaker 1: that are we take for granted, are scary to people
- 28:31Speaker 1: that just move here and it's just like what is
- 28:35Speaker 1: going on? Yeah, it's like it's frightening to them, and
- 28:38Speaker 1: they want to make sure that their kids are a
- 28:41Speaker 1: safe So, you know, I empathize. And she was so
- 28:47Speaker 1: back on her heels now and Lane was being so
- 28:53Speaker 1: aggressive with her own mother. But it's just a rite
- 28:57Speaker 1: of passage. It's just what a child I gets must do.
- 29:02Speaker 1: I think we all did it in one form or another.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Everybody does, so it's you know, but I think we.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Can go out of order a little bit and just
- 29:09Speaker 3: talk about the payoff from it, so that she's sort
- 29:13Speaker 3: of very missus Kim like with the customers. But I
- 29:18Speaker 3: was really happy to see that scene that comes a
- 29:21Speaker 3: little bit down there down episode where she gets the
- 29:24Speaker 3: alcohol out and she know, she sort of acknowledges like
- 29:28Speaker 3: you've had your time to sort of mourn this almost
- 29:32Speaker 3: says I'm sorry it happened, and like here now we're
- 29:35Speaker 3: gonna wash away.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Our Yeah, but you did you feel that it was
- 29:40Speaker 1: almost like an acknowledgment that missus Kim's job was done
- 29:45Speaker 1: for all tents and purposes, that she raised a strong,
- 29:49Speaker 1: fierce daughter, and now you are my equal you are Yeah,
- 29:54Speaker 1: this is the end result of all my efforts. And
- 29:57Speaker 1: I have a smart that's interesting, smart, strong, determined daughter
- 30:03Speaker 1: who has fire in her belly and a backbone of iron,
- 30:08Speaker 1: just like I wanted her to have. And let's drink
- 30:11Speaker 1: two shots on that.
- 30:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't job there. They had turned a corner
- 30:18Speaker 4: from that mother teenage daughter relationship to an adult to
- 30:23Speaker 4: adult relationship.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I write a passage, right, yeah, and kind of
- 30:30Speaker 3: like yeah, we're we're sort of bonding.
- 30:34Speaker 1: It's like she doesn't need me anymore in the old sense.
- 30:37Speaker 1: She needs a newer version of me. And now we're
- 30:40Speaker 1: equals almost and we're friends.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, almost friends, not quite, but like almost.
- 30:47Speaker 4: Right.
- 30:48Speaker 1: It was just a very sweet moment between those two.
- 30:50Speaker 1: It was my favorite moment between those two because it
- 30:54Speaker 1: was the sum total of six years of strife and
- 30:58Speaker 1: anxiety and here we are and she's actually sitting down
- 31:03Speaker 1: partaking two shots of alcohol with her daughter to commemorate
- 31:06Speaker 1: the moment, and it's a huge, huge moment in their lives.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Was finally acknowledging something that her daughter was feeling. Rather
- 31:19Speaker 3: than like bossing her daughter, she was sort of saying
- 31:23Speaker 3: like I'm going to acknowledge you and and what this
- 31:27Speaker 3: is for you.
- 31:29Speaker 1: But here's here's the really interesting part about it for
- 31:32Speaker 1: me is that Elaine was raging at her mother, dictating
- 31:37Speaker 1: to her mother with her voice, with her anger, with
- 31:40Speaker 1: her force, like she was a she was a little
- 31:43Speaker 1: missus Kim. Yeah right. She wasn't married yet, she didn't
- 31:47Speaker 1: have a child yet, she hadn't raised a child yet.
- 31:49Speaker 1: But now it looked like she was ready to settle
- 31:52Speaker 1: down and raise a child because she because now she
- 31:54Speaker 1: had the timber. And then Mama Bear reversed and I
- 32:03Speaker 1: said Lane can't come down here right now, and reminded
- 32:06Speaker 1: her who the boss was, and and Lane got very
- 32:11Speaker 1: childlike again and said yes, Mama, and she came. They
- 32:14Speaker 1: went and drank. Yeah, so missus Kim's still in control,
- 32:19Speaker 1: still the Mama Bear, still more lessons to be learned
- 32:26Speaker 1: or to teach Lane, but she's kind of ready to
- 32:30Speaker 1: go out in the real world. Yeah, it was beautif,
- 32:33Speaker 1: it was beautiful.
- 32:34Speaker 3: It was beautiful.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Beautifully for me, that was the most moving scene of
- 32:41Speaker 1: the of the episode.
- 32:42Speaker 3: For sure, and clever for those characters so that it's
- 32:45Speaker 3: like we're they're evolving. We're not just like keeping up.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Beautiful, beautiful beats in that scene.
- 32:51Speaker 4: Because if you were, it was there was finally some
- 32:55Speaker 4: satisfaction in that relationship like that we've been waiting for
- 32:58Speaker 4: for six years. And I I thought it was really
- 33:00Speaker 4: well done how they were really communicating with actions and
- 33:06Speaker 4: there wasn't a lot of dialogue between the two of them,
- 33:08Speaker 4: but you could see the whole doing the shots was
- 33:13Speaker 4: a conciliatory gesture from missus Kim that I thought was
- 33:18Speaker 4: it was just really well done because it communicated so
- 33:20Speaker 4: much without dialogue. I thought it was great.
- 33:24Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about Logan. So we have the first
- 33:37Speaker 3: Logan sighting at the coffee cart he's waiting for and
- 33:43Speaker 3: she just bails him. She's just now. So she's sort
- 33:47Speaker 3: of walking with that professor, really trying to get in
- 33:49Speaker 3: that class, and then Logan and she's just now, I'm
- 33:56Speaker 3: happy he's back. Look, I am, it's out.
- 34:01Speaker 1: You got to have some matty sure in your day,
- 34:03Speaker 1: you know, for sure, you know terrified doctors actually recommend her.
- 34:09Speaker 3: Yes, thank you, I do. So then we have that
- 34:13Speaker 3: blip and then we now kind of find out that
- 34:19Speaker 3: the wedding is planned. She found the dress. It all
- 34:22Speaker 3: fell into place that she's got the invites, she's got
- 34:24Speaker 3: the RSVP list handled, she's got the church, she's got
- 34:28Speaker 3: Pastor Todd, she's got the carousel. We're done. And then
- 34:34Speaker 3: it starts snowing, which was a sign. So I don't know,
- 34:41Speaker 3: it's like it's all too good to be true, right.
- 34:45Speaker 4: Yeah, And I have to give a shout out to
- 34:49Speaker 4: June third because June third was also Rory's court date,
- 34:55Speaker 4: so there's a lot of discussion about why is June
- 34:57Speaker 4: third so important too.
- 34:59Speaker 3: That's interesting.
- 35:00Speaker 4: So one year French for the Wind and what I've read,
- 35:04Speaker 4: I don't know that this is true or not, but
- 35:06Speaker 4: what I've read is that June third was hell knowledge.
- 35:11Speaker 3: Wait what was June third?
- 35:12Speaker 4: Was what Helen Pye's birthday? One of the producers.
- 35:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like like there's there's Amy and then there's
- 35:20Speaker 1: Helen Pie and Helen Pie and Amy are interchangeable. Oh wow,
- 35:29Speaker 1: they both talk fast, they both have all this hyped
- 35:32Speaker 1: up energy. To be around Amy is one thing, but
- 35:36Speaker 1: to be around Amy and Helen Pie at the same time,
- 35:40Speaker 1: it's like it's like, you.
- 35:41Speaker 3: Know, so I've never heard this name before.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Oh, Helen Pie.
- 35:46Speaker 3: One of the executive producers.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Helen Pie is a legend. She's She's a total legend.
- 35:54Speaker 1: And her husband, I believe. Wait a minute, let me.
- 35:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna Susanne French. You're right now, I'm gonna drop an.
- 36:01Speaker 3: I love it.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Her husband's name, I believe, and I could be wrong.
- 36:07Speaker 4: It's David, Oh my gosh, yes, job Scott.
- 36:14Speaker 3: My god.
- 36:19Speaker 4: And one one more fun fact. If you rearrange Helen
- 36:27Speaker 4: Pye the letters in her name, you get hep Alien.
- 36:30Speaker 1: That's French again.
- 36:38Speaker 3: These are what we call easter eggs, right like, these
- 36:40Speaker 3: are sort of little easter eggs. I love it, alright, alright, juicy,
- 36:45Speaker 3: Helen's beautiful. So before we get to more logan, we
- 36:50Speaker 3: do have the scene in the newsroom. Paris is bossy.
- 36:56Speaker 3: She's given out beats World. According to Doyle.
- 37:00Speaker 1: I think you know, if Amy and Helen Pye went
- 37:03Speaker 1: on tour together, they could sell out arenas are They
- 37:08Speaker 1: just give him a couple of microphones and just like
- 37:10Speaker 1: let them do their thing on stage. I don't even
- 37:12Speaker 1: have to have an act. They just talk. It's hysterical.
- 37:17Speaker 1: You should see these two. It's hysterical.
- 37:19Speaker 3: I can't wait to see what Helen Pie. What are
- 37:21Speaker 3: the shows she's done.
- 37:23Speaker 1: I don't know. I think she was Amy.
- 37:25Speaker 3: So she works with the Palladinos on she probably works
- 37:29Speaker 3: on bun heads too.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Oh. I think she's yeah, she's uh uh huh. Yeah.
- 37:34Speaker 3: All right. So Logan is back at the paper, which
- 37:38Speaker 3: I'm happy about, and I thought that was kind of funny.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Paris sort of barking at him and he's leaning back
- 37:46Speaker 3: to see if he sees Rory and he just hear
- 37:49Speaker 3: her voice.
- 37:51Speaker 1: I really I like that scene. I liked Maddie in
- 37:53Speaker 1: that scene because because it's just like he's dealt with
- 37:56Speaker 1: this level of anger and you know, hey, you're a loser,
- 38:01Speaker 1: get your act together kind of stuff from his dad.
- 38:04Speaker 1: It was just like getting it from her.
- 38:06Speaker 3: She's pretty funny. Keep your personal stuff at home. We
- 38:09Speaker 3: want to talk about your future. And he just does
- 38:11Speaker 3: the lean back from the and we don't even see
- 38:15Speaker 3: Paris at that point, like we're only here. That's a
- 38:17Speaker 3: good scene.
- 38:19Speaker 4: I had a tiny flag on that scene at the
- 38:23Speaker 4: beginning when I can't remember exactly how it came up,
- 38:27Speaker 4: but I think she was handing out the beats and
- 38:30Speaker 4: she said something to Rory about you know your boyfriend,
- 38:33Speaker 4: and Rory told Paris were not together anymore. I thought
- 38:38Speaker 4: it was weird that Paris wouldn't have already known that
- 38:42Speaker 4: they weren't, because it's been like six or eight weeks
- 38:46Speaker 4: since they broke up, and now Rory and Paris are
- 38:49Speaker 4: living in the same apartment, Like, how how would they
- 38:51Speaker 4: not have had a conversation about that in that whole wind.
- 38:57Speaker 3: I fully get it, but also knowing Rory and how
- 39:01Speaker 3: nuts Paris is, I also could see them not talking.
- 39:05Speaker 1: About it, right me too?
- 39:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I guess, I guess I have to
- 39:09Speaker 4: pick up the probably not come up? How did she
- 39:13Speaker 4: not notice that Logan wasn't around or was never missed?
- 39:16Speaker 3: She doesn't notice that kind of stuff.
- 39:18Speaker 1: I just think Paris is so obsessed with her own path. Yes,
- 39:24Speaker 1: she in her little world and building her empire and
- 39:27Speaker 1: her her trajectory. She's she's not fully a friend yet
- 39:34Speaker 1: in a in a real sense where she would she
- 39:38Speaker 1: would ask, you know exactly where she would she would
- 39:42Speaker 1: look beyond her own nose and empathize with anything that
- 39:45Speaker 1: that Rory's going through, would ask about it. How you feel?
- 39:49Speaker 3: I agree that.
- 39:51Speaker 4: It was just one of those weird little things that
- 39:53Speaker 4: kind of it.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Is weird if it was like Blaine. But Paris and
- 39:58Speaker 3: Rory are best friends who like don't talk about anything,
- 40:01Speaker 3: best friendly, right, yeah, like doesn't.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Rory doesn't have those expectations of Paris that she's going
- 40:11Speaker 1: to be close close girlfriends with her and share share.
- 40:14Speaker 3: That's not because she has Laine and her mom. Now
- 40:18Speaker 3: Paris shares more with Rory because she doesn't have anybody else.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Right, But it's but it's a one way street.
- 40:25Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, so okay. So then Lourlai comes to the
- 40:30Speaker 3: apartment and just the no no no no no, no,
- 40:33Speaker 3: no no no. There's a lot of news there, which
- 40:40Speaker 3: all right, so okay. So then we skip to they're
- 40:44Speaker 3: still at school but eating the fries, and we do
- 40:49Speaker 3: get the line from Loralai like that apartment is a
- 40:52Speaker 3: hard no called daddy, which is like because now that
- 40:56Speaker 3: Christopher has money, she can't make him pay. And then
- 41:01Speaker 3: they talk about the wedding and she sort of says but.
- 41:04Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a minute. Also, Rory and Laura
- 41:08Speaker 1: I may have had a missus Kim Lane Kim taking
- 41:12Speaker 1: a shot moment with the French fries representing the shots
- 41:16Speaker 1: where Rory is asserting her independence by placing herself in
- 41:21Speaker 1: a sort of a dangerous situation in a bad neighborhood.
- 41:25Speaker 1: But she's making that decision.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, good call out, and does say that.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Overruled her mom with all the noes. No, you're not
- 41:33Speaker 1: getting your way. I'm my own person and you have
- 41:35Speaker 1: to let me be my own person.
- 41:39Speaker 3: Good note, she does, And I did. I sort of
- 41:41Speaker 3: was happy to see that.
- 41:46Speaker 4: And there's maybe also an underlying current of if Laura
- 41:51Speaker 4: I doesn't let Rory have this, though, Rory will run
- 41:56Speaker 4: her way again. So there may you know.
- 42:00Speaker 1: And and Rory's developing this this tough exterior now, like
- 42:04Speaker 1: she's telling Logan to go, yeahy a kite, she's stolen
- 42:08Speaker 1: a yacht. She's hey, back off each your French fries.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Dummy up, I'm staying in the bad apartment. You know,
- 42:15Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I got this, you know. Trust.
- 42:19Speaker 1: So she's neat, So it's good, it's good.
- 42:22Speaker 3: It is good. Yeah. So then and then they sort
- 42:25Speaker 3: of talk about the they're eating their fries barely a bite,
- 42:28Speaker 3: which I did notice, like a tiny little bite to
- 42:31Speaker 3: eat her. And then they talk about how Lorelai has
- 42:34Speaker 3: not had this sort of freak out, this freakout circle
- 42:38Speaker 3: and marriage isn't too easy and this is all too easy,
- 42:41Speaker 3: and kind of you know, Rory started talking her off
- 42:44Speaker 3: the ledge a little bit.
- 42:45Speaker 1: H well, you know, so you know, looking over her shoulder,
- 42:54Speaker 1: I mean, turn into a pillar assault.
- 42:57Speaker 4: More of my self sabotages a lot, and so I
- 43:00Speaker 4: think she was realizing that and kind of wondering like, wait,
- 43:03Speaker 4: why am I not sabotaging myself?
- 43:08Speaker 3: Yeah? Hang on, after the Fries we meet Anna Nardini,
- 43:25Speaker 3: So now we get to it, we get to to
- 43:29Speaker 3: Luke going to Anna's. So I mean, this is sort
- 43:34Speaker 3: of some really big scenes for you, Scott, both of
- 43:37Speaker 3: them with this situation.
- 43:41Speaker 1: You know what I liked about that scene. I liked
- 43:44Speaker 1: that it showed that we did have a full relationship
- 43:51Speaker 1: at one point and that we still we agnote that
- 43:55Speaker 1: if things don't work out with the self sabotager that
- 44:00Speaker 1: we know and love is Laurelai. That maybe and I
- 44:03Speaker 1: think that's maybe what the fans were reacting to, Like
- 44:07Speaker 1: Chryl and Fann, she's fantastic. Oh god, now look and
- 44:13Speaker 1: laurel I are jeopardized because she's fantastic. He could go
- 44:17Speaker 1: back to her and this she's and Laurel I is
- 44:20Speaker 1: self sabotaging and the whole thing, so that, you know,
- 44:22Speaker 1: the panic setting. I get it. So we got to
- 44:26Speaker 1: play that like, like, let's keep that open the possibility
- 44:30Speaker 1: we don't hate each other. Right, Well, we got to
- 44:32Speaker 1: be respectful. She's got to be respectful in my relationships.
- 44:35Speaker 1: I've got to be obviously, you know, I'm in love
- 44:37Speaker 1: with Laurel I. This whole thing. Well, and she can't
- 44:40Speaker 1: show too much feeling, but I gotta show a little feeling.
- 44:42Speaker 3: She's quirky. We see that in her we see that
- 44:46Speaker 3: in her house. She's so cute, she's so pretty. She
- 44:51Speaker 3: looks like Loralai, like there's a lot there that's sort
- 44:55Speaker 3: of like, look, she's really not bad. I sort of
- 44:59Speaker 3: like her, but I don't want.
- 45:00Speaker 1: To like her. Yeah, you gotta like her.
- 45:03Speaker 3: You got sort of, although I still don't get why
- 45:07Speaker 3: she didn't tell him. We don't really get a satisfactory
- 45:10Speaker 3: answer there. She does say she's she's sorry.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Let me, can I ask you something? And this is
- 45:16Speaker 1: going to sound a little you know far afield, h
- 45:22Speaker 1: do you think that mate is there? Has have you
- 45:28Speaker 1: guys ever seen a theory posted in the chatwomsor online
- 45:32Speaker 1: Gillmore World where people thought that Luke didn't tell Laurel
- 45:40Speaker 1: I about April because he also knew what Suzanne pointed out,
- 45:48Speaker 1: that Laurele I can sabotage any situation. I want to speak,
- 45:52Speaker 1: I want to speak negatively about Laurel I really don't.
- 45:55Speaker 1: But given how many times he's been through the mill
- 46:00Speaker 1: with her, without their guys, without the situation, that delay here,
- 46:03Speaker 1: this and that things not the stars not aligning seemingly
- 46:08Speaker 1: all the time between these two, that is there a
- 46:12Speaker 1: fan theory that Luke didn't tell her because he was
- 46:15Speaker 1: keeping his options open because if it didn't work out
- 46:17Speaker 1: with Laurel I, maybe he's got a kid, Maybe he's
- 46:20Speaker 1: going to head back and be with it. Anna.
- 46:22Speaker 3: What's your take on that, Suzanne, I've never seen that.
- 46:26Speaker 1: I never seen it. Just don't know.
- 46:28Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think that's really I mean that
- 46:30Speaker 4: doesn't mean that nobody thinks it, but it's it's not
- 46:33Speaker 4: like an overarching theory. I always just saw it more
- 46:39Speaker 4: like he was so confused by it himself internally that
- 46:44Speaker 4: he had to work through that before layering on how
- 46:48Speaker 4: Laurela I was going to feel about it.
- 46:51Speaker 1: But wait a minute, wait a minute, what about how
- 46:53Speaker 1: he felt about it?
- 46:54Speaker 3: Right?
- 46:55Speaker 1: What about how Luke felt about it?
- 46:57Speaker 4: Right?
- 46:57Speaker 1: And that's his that's potentially his family. Do you think
- 47:01Speaker 1: there was any part of him that said, oh, gosh,
- 47:06Speaker 1: you know, maybe I should delay the wedding. I have
- 47:10Speaker 1: a family. I have, Yes, I have. Maybe I get back.
- 47:15Speaker 1: Maybe there's a scenario who thought about where I get
- 47:18Speaker 1: back with April and we raise up this daughter because
- 47:20Speaker 1: she's only twelve, we got six more years before she
- 47:23Speaker 1: goes up, five more years.
- 47:26Speaker 4: I think that.
- 47:27Speaker 1: I think you can think he as a man or
- 47:30Speaker 1: somebody who who maybe feels this oh weighty responsibility to
- 47:36Speaker 1: return and take on the responsibility and be that guy like, hey, Anna,
- 47:43Speaker 1: I want to let's get get back together. I want
- 47:45Speaker 1: to raise up this child, a child that's a big deal.
- 47:49Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think he definitely. I think he definitely
- 47:53Speaker 4: felt a responsibility towards April and wanted to have a
- 47:57Speaker 4: religionship people. I don't think he ever contemps getting back
- 48:00Speaker 4: together with Anna.
- 48:02Speaker 3: I think so too. I think it's what I think,
- 48:05Speaker 3: it's what you said, and that he needs a minute.
- 48:07Speaker 3: This is very overwhelming for him, and he does feel
- 48:10Speaker 3: like this sense of obligation and wanting to be a
- 48:13Speaker 3: part of all her life. I also think he's terrified
- 48:19Speaker 3: that it could ruin this thing that he's wanted for
- 48:25Speaker 3: so long that's finally happening. And I think that they
- 48:29Speaker 3: acknowledge that a little bit. First of all, Sherilyn Fenn
- 48:33Speaker 3: is so cool, her outfits cool, her house is school,
- 48:37Speaker 3: everything about her is cool so far. But she says,
- 48:40Speaker 3: are you happy? And he says yes, and she says
- 48:44Speaker 3: me too, So you kind of get this acknowledgement. Like
- 48:48Speaker 3: I don't even get a flirt with them. I just
- 48:52Speaker 3: get that like he wants to do the right thing
- 48:56Speaker 3: and he's trying to figure out what is that right?
- 48:59Speaker 4: And we know, oh, because remember back when he had
- 49:01Speaker 4: that conversation with Liz, he told her he didn't want
- 49:06Speaker 4: this to ruin his relationship with Laurea Isaac. We got
- 49:08Speaker 4: a good thing going here. I don't want to mess
- 49:10Speaker 4: it up. And Liz told him, she said, it's not
- 49:14Speaker 4: gonna mess anything up unless you let it. So that
- 49:17Speaker 4: was like some foreshadowing there that you know, Luke was
- 49:23Speaker 4: concerned about how this was going to affect his relationship
- 49:25Speaker 4: with Laureli, but I think that was only in the
- 49:27Speaker 4: setting of April and not really related to Anna.
- 49:31Speaker 3: Someone on our Instagram did make an interesting point, being
- 49:35Speaker 3: that anyone in a very serious relationship would have immediately
- 49:40Speaker 3: told their significant other some girl came into the diner
- 49:43Speaker 3: today and plucked my hair out. Yes, Yeah, which I
- 49:48Speaker 3: thought was like, Oh, that's sort of true. That's like
- 49:50Speaker 3: I almost think he had a moment there where he
- 49:55Speaker 3: could have brought Lorelion. Now it's a little trickier because
- 49:58Speaker 3: he's sort of trying to figure out where he's at
- 50:00Speaker 3: with all of it, But I think the right move,
- 50:03Speaker 3: easier move would have been tell her from the start.
- 50:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. Okay, So this goes back to how
- 50:10Speaker 1: much he trusts Laurla to follow through on the wedding.
- 50:18Speaker 4: M hm.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Does he really believe it's going to happen? I know
- 50:22Speaker 1: he's hopeful and he's happy, but does he really believe
- 50:26Speaker 1: it and his options open with Anna and April.
- 50:30Speaker 3: I'm more on the take of he's so nervous something's
- 50:33Speaker 3: going to mess it up and this is so major
- 50:36Speaker 3: that he's just like, oh.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Man, right now, I'm going to mess it up. I'm
- 50:41Speaker 1: going to be I'm the sabotager.
- 50:43Speaker 4: Yeah. I think she's still completely devoted to Laura I
- 50:47Speaker 4: and he's just confused by this new development and how.
- 50:50Speaker 1: Oh I didn't he tell her?
- 50:54Speaker 4: He said he needed a minute, he just needed to
- 50:57Speaker 4: process it. And then you know, then she's shows up
- 51:00Speaker 4: wearing the running dress, and so now that's not the right.
- 51:03Speaker 4: Something always happens that prevents him from telling her, And
- 51:06Speaker 4: then it gets to the point where the longer it
- 51:09Speaker 4: goes on, the harder it is to say something, because
- 51:11Speaker 4: obviously the question is going to be, well, why didn't
- 51:13Speaker 4: you tell me before? And it just kind of snowballs
- 51:16Speaker 4: from there.
- 51:16Speaker 1: Yeah. I think on a conscious level it is his
- 51:19Speaker 1: fear of losing her.
- 51:20Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yes, I think so too. He's just he
- 51:26Speaker 3: doesn't want to be the one to rock this boat.
- 51:28Speaker 1: Or he's in over his head. He knows that, you.
- 51:32Speaker 3: Know, and maybe even a little bit like she's been like.
- 51:35Speaker 1: Come up, guess like being at a horse. Come on.
- 51:38Speaker 3: Yeah, and she's been through she get there, exactly, She's
- 51:44Speaker 3: been through a lot too, right, But she's been through
- 51:50Speaker 3: this whole situation with Rory, right, and he doesn't want
- 51:55Speaker 3: to be another thing that causes her pain and stress.
- 51:59Speaker 4: Right, it's like Rory's back. We're finally getting things on track.
- 52:04Speaker 4: I don't want to be the one to mess.
- 52:05Speaker 3: This upright, So okay, So now we have a very
- 52:10Speaker 3: pivotal scene with Logan at the apartment and he says,
- 52:15Speaker 3: you can't live here. She's kind of acknowledged you broke
- 52:19Speaker 3: up with me through your sister. She says it was
- 52:21Speaker 3: a fight. People fight, and he says, I love you,
- 52:24Speaker 3: and it's just like, oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.
- 52:30Speaker 1: Yeah, very desperate move, wrong time, sad for him.
- 52:37Speaker 3: I mean, but he sort of gotta do it.
- 52:40Speaker 1: Oh it's not the right time. He uh. He went
- 52:46Speaker 1: from sublime to ridiculous. I'm sorry, you just lost the whole.
- 52:54Speaker 1: You know. He was a cool, alluring dude, had all
- 52:57Speaker 1: the cards. Now he's got none of them.
- 53:00Speaker 3: What does Suzanne the tiebreaker say? Because I wasn't mad
- 53:03Speaker 3: at Logan here.
- 53:06Speaker 4: I thought it was a little over the top, almost
- 53:11Speaker 4: like it went from zero communication to just trying, you know,
- 53:17Speaker 4: like confronting her.
- 53:20Speaker 1: Can't break come on, I thought, But that's what young
- 53:25Speaker 1: guys do, and they're in bad situations. And they know
- 53:28Speaker 1: they've blown it and they're about to lose or have
- 53:31Speaker 1: already lost, like the one.
- 53:34Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean maybe. I mean Logan he's had his
- 53:39Speaker 4: typical relationship pattern is not monogamy, right, He like doesn't
- 53:43Speaker 4: have these these long term quality relationships, and so this
- 53:47Speaker 4: is this is new territory for him. So I mean,
- 53:50Speaker 4: I do kind of see that perspective. But at the
- 53:53Speaker 4: same time, neither one of them communicated with the other,
- 53:56Speaker 4: and so clearly they had two different understandings of what
- 54:00Speaker 4: was happening. And so rather than I just wish they
- 54:05Speaker 4: had kind of discussed it more, I don't know, maybe
- 54:07Speaker 4: that might be expecting too much from twenty one year
- 54:10Speaker 4: olds or she was twenty one, he was older.
- 54:12Speaker 3: But it felt Yeah, I'm glad you said. It felt
- 54:14Speaker 3: kind of collegey to me, and I wasn't mad about it.
- 54:17Speaker 3: That is what a college guy does. It's like they
- 54:20Speaker 3: are in college and he's over there, and I wasn't
- 54:24Speaker 3: mad about it. I more have a flag on the
- 54:26Speaker 3: next scene with the therapist. So I want to see
- 54:29Speaker 3: what you guys say.
- 54:30Speaker 1: But it's a write a passage for all young men
- 54:33Speaker 1: to get the Matza ball in the face after you know,
- 54:36Speaker 1: you deliver and I love you and it just hangs
- 54:38Speaker 1: out there and it's not returned. So that was his
- 54:42Speaker 1: so we got to see it.
- 54:43Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, true, true, she's being fairly sort of tough
- 54:48Speaker 3: with him, but we learn in the therapist's office she's
- 54:53Speaker 3: totally unhinged. Now I have a question about that scene.
- 54:59Speaker 3: But first you guys, say what you thought of that scene.
- 55:03Speaker 1: I thought it was a therapist. I thought it was
- 55:06Speaker 1: some of Alexis's finest moments as an actress on that show.
- 55:10Speaker 3: Really, I have so the opposite.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Take, thank you, thank you. I don't like that.
- 55:18Speaker 3: I don't like the scene at all because it just
- 55:20Speaker 3: feels so fake. So I have an acting question for you.
- 55:24Speaker 1: Scott, but it yes, go ahead, sorry, So.
- 55:29Speaker 3: Because this is like Gilmore Girls, right, yes, and it's
- 55:32Speaker 3: Gilmore Girls. Is a is a comedy drama to me? Okay,
- 55:36Speaker 3: comedy first.
- 55:38Speaker 1: I know what you're gonna ask me, And yes, it
- 55:40Speaker 1: did skew comedy okay, yeah, yeah, And that's what I
- 55:44Speaker 1: so appreciated about it, because it showed a real ability
- 55:49Speaker 1: on Alexis's part to understand that this was a comedic moment. Yes, okay,
- 55:55Speaker 1: this is not a dramatic moment. This is a comedic moment, okay.
- 56:00Speaker 1: And she'd made all of the right choices the entire scene.
- 56:05Speaker 1: It was impressive to.
- 56:07Speaker 3: Watch, Okay, So that helps me a lot because I
- 56:11Speaker 3: was I was sort of aware of that, like I'm
- 56:16Speaker 3: watching this expecting this to be.
- 56:19Speaker 1: You know what's a very supposed to laugh.
- 56:22Speaker 3: Right, like I wanted it to be. Like, I can't
- 56:26Speaker 3: think of some very dramatic.
- 56:28Speaker 1: Who no, come on, that would have dragged the whole
- 56:31Speaker 1: episode down into like you know exactly, so we're not
- 56:34Speaker 1: doing Tolstoy or sol Janison for let's sake.
- 56:37Speaker 3: Okay, you're answering my question perfectly, because say, as an actor,
- 56:42Speaker 3: you get that scene right, So you just get that
- 56:44Speaker 3: script for the scene, right. Do you play it differently
- 56:47Speaker 3: if it's for Gilmore Girls as opposed to again, I
- 56:51Speaker 3: can't think of like some very serious drama.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Absolutely, you play it different. It's a different tone, it's
- 56:56Speaker 1: a different style. And it was discussed, all discussed beforehand,
- 57:03Speaker 1: and the director talking and Amy and the a Lexus
- 57:05Speaker 1: are talking. Listen the tone of this scene, YadA YadA, YadA, right,
- 57:10Speaker 1: and she nailed it. She hit it part.
- 57:12Speaker 3: It was perfect all right, fair, because I, for some reason,
- 57:17Speaker 3: when I wanted it to be my god, why can
- 57:20Speaker 3: I not think of any like huge drama Gray's anatomy.
- 57:24Speaker 1: Let's just say, right, I, it's not that.
- 57:27Speaker 3: It's okay, it's supposed to be that.
- 57:29Speaker 1: It sets in the city light light in the light
- 57:32Speaker 1: light light, comedic.
- 57:34Speaker 3: There more sitcomy, almost like it felt like it was
- 57:37Speaker 3: to be funny, which is why I was like, this
- 57:41Speaker 3: scene is two fake?
- 57:44Speaker 1: It was. It was intense, it was fast paced, it
- 57:47Speaker 1: was comedic. I thought she handled it beautifully. I was
- 57:52Speaker 1: so impressed.
- 57:53Speaker 3: All right, fair that change? Does that change your take
- 57:57Speaker 3: on it?
- 57:58Speaker 4: It does? I I thought it was humorous, but not
- 58:05Speaker 4: necessarily funny.
- 58:13Speaker 3: It fell campy, and it fell campy to me, a fake.
- 58:18Speaker 1: It was supposed to be.
- 58:21Speaker 4: It was funny when she had like one tissue and
- 58:25Speaker 4: she's got like forty tissues and that was funny.
- 58:27Speaker 1: But that's it was supposed to be campy. It was
- 58:31Speaker 1: supposed to be right.
- 58:32Speaker 3: But I would maybe like to see it be be serious.
- 58:38Speaker 1: That's a different cha.
- 58:40Speaker 5: I kind of agree that you should tune into Sullivan's crossing. Yeah, okay, okay,
- 58:46Speaker 5: that's all it is. Yeah, yeah, okay, it's like tears
- 58:50Speaker 5: are flowing.
- 58:50Speaker 1: Man.
- 58:51Speaker 3: So we sort of talked about the scene with Lane
- 58:54Speaker 3: and her mom obviously very much talked about it. So
- 58:56Speaker 3: we now get Lorelei in her room getting the call
- 59:01Speaker 3: from Rory. Guess who's crazy? You know, by the way,
- 59:05Speaker 3: her room does look amazing. But they sort of have
- 59:08Speaker 3: this talk about doctor Shapiro and how she exploded, and
- 59:13Speaker 3: I really liked that Loralai paid no attention to any
- 59:17Speaker 3: of that, but wanted to know if she believed Logan do.
- 59:20Speaker 4: You believe them?
- 59:22Speaker 3: So I thought I thought I liked that.
- 59:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that was a good moment.
- 59:29Speaker 3: Yeah, and we learned that Rory's going back to therapy
- 59:34Speaker 3: what she needs to and oh my gosh, I don't
- 59:38Speaker 3: even need best lines because when she says blame it
- 59:40Speaker 3: on Grandma, that was awesome. So and I love her.
- 59:48Speaker 3: I love her room. So, oh, I think we have
- 59:53Speaker 3: the moment where is the scene where Luke gets with
- 59:59Speaker 3: Kerr to try and find the signal the Wi Fi
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: and we're like, what are they doing? And because he
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: wanted to see her website.
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: That's right after the therapy session.
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So we're right sort of in there with that,
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: and then we get the scene with Anna again and
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: he says, you know, you should have told me, and
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: I want to know my daughter, and this is you know,
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: like's like me.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: You know, having a kid is one thing, and being
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: there for that child it's everything. Yeah, and to find out,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: you know, you have to imagine you find out you
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: have a child twelve years after the fact, Oh my gosh,
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: it's just got to spin your brain around a few times. Like, boy, yeah,
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: you know, it was probably just frozen, couldn't make a
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: decision on what to do. Well, you guys are totally right.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: He's still processing it.
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if he always spends your roll around
- 1:01:12Speaker 4: like everything.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: Now you know how that's that could blow up the
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: entire relationship. I can't. I can't be hard on my guy.
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: With fans hate for this whole situation, I do think
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: they're not giving the situation enough credit. Like, come on,
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: this guy just realizes he has a kid, Like, who
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: knows how to handle that? So maybe don't handle it well,
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: but like that's why you know what to handle that.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: But define handling it well. He goes to Laurel I
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: as soon as he finds out she pulls the hair
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: out of his head. She goes off to du the
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: DNA test. He goes to Laurel I. He's effectively in
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: his mind ending the relationship by telling her right right, kid,
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: And that's that's what you know. A certain percentage of
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: people who are in serious relationships thinks he should have
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: done right.
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: So long term, he's the good guy who copped to
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: it right away and didn't withhold, But he loses the
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: relationship potential. He's really but it comes down to a
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: question of trust and respect. Trust in your partner that
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: she's going to make the right decision, and respect that
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: you did that, and that you gave her the benefit
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: of the doubt, and you gave her the power of
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: the having the information to decide, because it's her life too,
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: and she deserves that information. So I see both sides.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: She deserves that information to process it herself, because that's
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: a bomb in her life, to personally and to the relationship.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: But at least he gave her the respect to make
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: the decision. She want to continue with this? Does she
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: want to process? If our love is truly real, then
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: she'll process it. It might take a day, it might
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: take a week, whatever, it might cause an upset a
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: delay in the wedding, but she'll come back to me
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: because I know she loves me, and I know I
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: want her to trust me, and this is a big
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: trust thing. So I see both sons.
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: I do too, because I also see this is the
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: most overwhelming, unbelievable, shocking, life altering news where Luke has
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: all these complex feelings too, like should I have known?
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: Why didn't she tell me? I'm sure you've got sadness, anger, shock,
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: just bewilderment, like you don't know what to do? And Joy,
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: that's right exactly, Joy.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: I have a charge, not really, but I think.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: Not letting Luke have his experience.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: Yeah, what's wrong with me that that Anna didn't tell me? Right? Right? Right?
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: Scott? You make such a good point there. What's wrong
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: with me that she didn't tell me? Because you get
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: you would totally be self conscious, like am I not
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: good enough to be a father? Is that why this
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: woman would have rather done this on her own? It's
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: not like you are a one night stand, right Like
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: she knows you, so she made a conscious choice to
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: not tell you, which is a ass move by the way,
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: in my opinion, she should have told him immediately that's
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: like so gnarly. But as the Luke, you would feel like,
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: am I not what's wrong with me? That she didn't
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: think I could be a dad. She'd rather do it
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: on her own than do it with me, And that
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: would mess you up so bad.
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: But at the same time, like that's when you would
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: turn to your current partner for support. I if you're
- 1:05:02Speaker 4: in a trusting relationship like that, then the plan is
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: that the two of you would face any obstacle together.
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: We can I throw out one. And you know, I
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: love Loralai more than anybody on the planet, well or
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: equal to many people on the planet. But I love Lorlai, right,
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: But this is a harsh thing to say. Maybe subconsciously
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: this is not really to say, I admit it. People
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: might get mad. Maybe he knows that Laura I sometimes
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: tends to make things about loral And truly this isn't
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: about Lorelai, Like this should just be about Luke. And
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: maybe Loralai would do the right thing and be fully
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: supportive of just whatever Luke needs. But maybe she would
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: make this about her. It's not crazy to say she
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: sometimes does that.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: Interesting interesting point.
- 1:05:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I mean.
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: That's why they call this in the business a complication
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: because it is complex. It's really complex. Yeah, and we're
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: just scratching the surface here. You know. It's wow.
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: I think statistically speaking, she would have been more likely
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: to be supportive of Luke and to try to help
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: him through it than to make it about her.
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I agree with you. Maybe, I don't know.
- 1:06:31Speaker 4: I feel like his fear that this would break them
- 1:06:34Speaker 4: up was unfounded. I don't think it would have broken
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: them up.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: I think, well, I tell you, you know, there's nothing more
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: boring than perfect people.
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: Exactly. That's Scott. I was just about to say, for
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: everybody that sort of gives this storyline grief, I think
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: it's so meaty, and I think it was with all
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: good intentions that the creators gave us this because so meaty.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: It's so it's like, oh my gosh.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: They acknowledge that flawed characters and flowed personalities are far
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: more interesting to watch on television.
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: Totally.
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: You know, a bunch of perfect people behaving. It's like
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: everybody does the right thing all the time, like click,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: and I don't it don't make sure about people like that.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: I'm not a Season six hater. I'm just not.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not yet. I'm waiting, you know, because.
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: It's like I don't expect him to do the right thing. Also,
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: all the time, this guy doesn't always he never does
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: the bad thing, but he doesn't do the right thing
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: with all good intentions. He just messes it up.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: Because I think I listen, I think the power and
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: the complexity of the Luke and Lorelei relationship is so
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: aspirational for the fans, and it is presented in I mean,
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: the whole thing is such a tease for so long,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: and that it is so fraught with danger, and the
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: fans have gone through all of these vicariously because they've
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: gone through it themselves in their lives, and they really
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: want this to work out. They're so invested in it,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: so they kind of maybe forget that these are flawed
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: people and this thing could blow up up in our faces.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: And I think the Palladinos are brilliant in the sense that,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: you know, they toy with people the way they toy
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: with the people's emotions by throwing in these complications, and
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: I think they always knew, like, listen, there's going to
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: be an inn and Nardinia there's going to be a kid.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: The fans are going to hate them, like aspirational the
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Luke and laurel our relationship isn't how devoted the fans
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: are to this relationship. Ye that we must, we must
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: drop a little fly in the ointment here, if you will.
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: So it makes me laugh because there's this video that
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: I think it's kind of floating around TikTok. It's a
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: blooper ish between you and Lauren. So there's a scene
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: I think it's way back on the bench. You're having
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: a conversation. I don't know if you've seen this, Suzanne.
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: He sort of messes up and says I love you,
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: and you know, they giggle, giggle, and Scott says something
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: funny like, oh, he's showing your feelings whatever, and she
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: says something like and the show would be over. And
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: it's like, you guys like literally acknowledge that if there's
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: no bumps in the road, there is no show. This
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: is The show is watching these two people navigate complications.
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: You know what. I think this is at its core.
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: I think that this is and they can't show it
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: on this show because it's a family show. I think
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: that these two are wildly attracted to Na.
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: Laura, not Anna, right.
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: I think that Luke and Laurelai are wildly attracted to
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: one another, and they are both of them are are
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: living in a state of high anxiety and need for
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: that chemistry, chemistry and energy to have it more than
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: they have been able to have it, right, to consummate,
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: to enjoy each other. And there's a lot of because
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: I think maybe deep down they both know that there's
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: a lot working against them in this relationship. She's from
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: a certain class, he's from another class. You know what
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: I'm saying. But it's a kind of a it's it's
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: it's it's Romeo and Juliet, and it's this it's the
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: sexual tension between these two characters is so incendiary that
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: it causes all of this anxiety all of the time
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: from both parties. And I think any complications, their hesitations
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: are going to be met with the fear of losing
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: this connection, because I think it is so powerful and
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: so magnetic yea, that they would be ruined if they
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: couldn't have each other or they you know, they eventually
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: get over and deal with it, but it always be
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: in the back of their minds, and they'd always want
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: to be with each other and get back together with
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: one another.
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an interesting take you're sort of saying. It
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: wasn't like, oh no, we're going to ruin the friendship.
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: It's a little bitship.
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I get that. I don't think that there's something
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: to what you're saying.
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: It's a about ruining the opportunity to turn the lights
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: down the Yeah, yeah.
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I get that. The like sort of more just
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: this intense connection.
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: I think it's a very it's a very intense connection.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: We got to keep that in my mind, Yeah, because
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: that makes people. That makes people a little nutty.
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: That's right, and maybe making Luke especially sort of making
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: these decisions that aren't just the most logical, right. Yeah.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: So we sort of end with he's going to tell her,
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: He's coming back to tell her, right, and he wants
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: her to come downstairs so he can tell her. And
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: then she's in the dress, right, and you can't tell her.
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: I get it. He can't tell her.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: And he looked like and Luke looked like he wanted
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: to eat her right then and there.
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean right, he can't he can't do the
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: right thing because he's doing the right thing in that moment.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: Yeah. So, because because there are times in this show
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: you got to ask yourself, why in the heck is
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: she hanging with us? Dude, and vice versa.
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: I never asked. I never asked. I don't never ask
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: I never asked that you might be alone because I
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: think there's nothing more us for the reason.
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: That's the reason the chemistry is so powerful.
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: Yeah, shout out to Judy Bloom and Deini. But also
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: what is what do you guys get? I mean, give
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: your favorite lines. I gave mine if you want, and
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: then we need to like rate this.
- 1:13:54Speaker 4: Ah okay. My favorite line was back at the beginning
- 1:13:59Speaker 4: of the episode when they walk in from going to
- 1:14:02Speaker 4: Atlantic City and Luke mentions that he's been going to
- 1:14:06Speaker 4: bed at ten fifteen and Laureland calls him Grandpa.
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: Mine is the Tony dancing line. Whatever I said, I
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: don't know what I said, because you know, again, it
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: just demonstrates the Pallatinos weird knowledge of your life going
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: back and I never told that story. It's a long listen.
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: I gave you the annotated version, but it's like, this
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: is a long drawn out story and it's a great story.
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: And look, I have the utmost respect for Tony Dance.
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: I'm not trying to but back in the day, you know,
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: there was a little almost a little dust up over money.
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: So you know, it just something that happens to certain
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: people when they're in Los Angeles. That's all I can say.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: I like it, but I like that line because it's like,
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: how did Amy and Dann know that? And it just
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: it can't be a coincidence. You know, all of a
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: sudden he's in this Tony Dances in script and then
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: look kind of like this is them a little bit,
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: and it's the sight. It's just wild. That's why it is.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: All right, what's the So what do I give it?
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: I give it, give it?
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: What's the measure?
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: Well, I can't decide if I want to give it
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: fries krav Magaw or fake journeys in the words of
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: I think Andy Cohen, journeys without a lead singer. Let's
