Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am all in. Oh, let's just you. I am
- 0:17Speaker 1: all in? What Scott Patterson and I Heart Radio podcast?
- 0:22Speaker 1: All right, hey, everybody, Scott Patterson here and this is
- 0:25Speaker 1: the I Am All In Podcast. I Heart Radio one
- 0:27Speaker 1: eleven Productions. We've got two really special guests coming on
- 0:31Speaker 1: at the same time. My old buddy James Pettitt from
- 0:34Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. He's ahead of marketing and also he's bringing
- 0:38Speaker 1: with him um a wonderful actor named Carl Wright who
- 0:43Speaker 1: played the Harvard professor in this episode, and I think
- 0:46Speaker 1: in one other episode. And uh so, guys, let's let's
- 0:49Speaker 1: get into this episode a little bit. What do you think?
- 0:52Speaker 1: H Yes, I love this episode. Did you already recap
- 0:55Speaker 1: it at the beginning? Did I miss anything? No? No,
- 0:58Speaker 1: you're your first up, buddy, You're you guys are first up.
- 1:02Speaker 1: So I think I actually wrote this brief synopsis back
- 1:07Speaker 1: when I was at the w B network, so I
- 1:10Speaker 1: will read it quickly. With the wedding canceled, Laura Lai
- 1:14Speaker 1: is eager to escape the sympathies of everyone in Stars Hollow,
- 1:19Speaker 1: so she and Rory take off on a road trip
- 1:21Speaker 1: that ultimately leads to Harvard University. While Rory confronts her
- 1:26Speaker 1: dreams of college life. Laura Lia ponders what might have been.
- 1:31Speaker 1: But there's more. There's this whole thing where she hasn't
- 1:35Speaker 1: told you Luke about not getting married. Right. You know,
- 1:42Speaker 1: I thought the episode started. I thought the episode started off. Okay,
- 1:50Speaker 1: I did uh bristle a bit on the lauralized criticisms
- 1:55Speaker 1: of country music, and you know, I didn't. And I
- 1:59Speaker 1: was like, oh, I know. But it's like, as a
- 2:03Speaker 1: you know, the producer in me, I was saying, why
- 2:06Speaker 1: are you alienating the most uh popular form of music
- 2:09Speaker 1: in the world right now or or or you know,
- 2:13Speaker 1: I didn't get that, and I think that's the iconoclastic
- 2:16Speaker 1: nature of the creator. Um. But it's like as a producer,
- 2:22Speaker 1: and I think this is where the studio may have
- 2:24Speaker 1: pushed back on her and said, listen, why are we
- 2:27Speaker 1: alienating half the world here? We want people to watch
- 2:30Speaker 1: the show. We don't want to lead character to trash
- 2:33Speaker 1: country music because I mean there's a lot of great
- 2:36Speaker 1: country music. I mean, there's a lot of great rock music.
- 2:38Speaker 1: There's a lot of right in every genre. There's like,
- 2:42Speaker 1: you know, the bad part of it, there's a good
- 2:43Speaker 1: part of it. But Um, I had no idea that
- 2:47Speaker 1: Jodie and the Blowfish with country music because that's what
- 2:49Speaker 1: they know. It wasn't what didn't start out that way.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It had maybe a flavor because I think he's from there,
- 2:55Speaker 1: from North Carolina or something. But it was more it
- 2:58Speaker 1: was more kind of rock, kind of country is rock
- 3:02Speaker 1: sort of a little bit um but like Dave Matthews
- 3:05Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But but he became a country star.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Darius Rucker became a country star, you know the last
- 3:12Speaker 1: yeah yeah, um, but anyway, and he's great as they
- 3:18Speaker 1: also they also said a C. D C. Highway to
- 3:21Speaker 1: Hell was their song, and I was like, yes, I
- 3:24Speaker 1: get that question. For a road trip, that is a
- 3:27Speaker 1: good song. But don't you think that that's you know,
- 3:29Speaker 1: just the characters. I mean, they wouldn't like where they were,
- 3:32Speaker 1: they would they wouldn't like, you know, country music. I
- 3:35Speaker 1: think it reveals a Northeastern elitism, snobbishness that is a
- 3:41Speaker 1: turn off to a lot of people, which can masquerade
- 3:46Speaker 1: as somehow appealing. It's like appealing in some way. Oh yeah,
- 3:52Speaker 1: they're like snooty Northeasterners who hate country music. Well you know,
- 3:56Speaker 1: well that's so appealing some yeah, and some form. That's
- 4:01Speaker 1: funny because okay, watch Gilba Girls on Wednesday nights on
- 4:05Speaker 1: the w B and then watch Reba on Thursday. So
- 4:11Speaker 1: I think, you know, probably Lou and Bob remember, remember
- 4:16Speaker 1: they probably had something. They probably had something to say
- 4:18Speaker 1: about it. But it's like, you know, try to get
- 4:20Speaker 1: Amy to change dialogue. It's like, guys, you know, do
- 4:23Speaker 1: we want to cut out half the country here? It's
- 4:26Speaker 1: like click, Well, but the engagement was off. Now that's
- 4:32Speaker 1: the point of the whole episode, that engagement. Max. Are
- 4:35Speaker 1: you trying to get me off the subject? Chamee I am.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I'm like, you're done with country? There he goes. James
- 4:41Speaker 1: is directing them. That's what he does so well, I
- 4:45Speaker 1: want to get to your super pivotal scene. It's like
- 4:48Speaker 1: almost a character change for you. Like I was like,
- 4:51Speaker 1: who is this nice person? But we'll get to that.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I'll get there. But anyway, So so the thing that
- 4:56Speaker 1: that really stuck out to me other than why are
- 5:01Speaker 1: you trashing country music because I'm a fan of country music?
- 5:03Speaker 1: Um is it was hard. I think they won. They won,
- 5:12Speaker 1: They won the war with just the two of them together.
- 5:15Speaker 1: It's like I kept thinking, are they going to be
- 5:17Speaker 1: able to carry the episode because nobody else is in
- 5:20Speaker 1: the episode. We're not in stars Hollow, this is unfamiliar territory.
- 5:25Speaker 1: So how how is this going to be rectified? I mean,
- 5:28Speaker 1: this better be some pretty great stuff if we're just
- 5:31Speaker 1: going to be spending time with those two. And another
- 5:33Speaker 1: thing that I felt, um and and they did at
- 5:37Speaker 1: in places and I was pretty satisfied most of the way.
- 5:40Speaker 1: But another thing that I felt, I thought that fight
- 5:42Speaker 1: in the in the bed and breakfast between mother and
- 5:45Speaker 1: daughter was a little forced. I mean, it just can't
- 5:48Speaker 1: kind of came out of nowhere, you know. So for me,
- 5:51Speaker 1: it felt like it was like, oh, we need them
- 5:53Speaker 1: to have some conflict here, and they just kind of
- 5:55Speaker 1: forced it on us because it just happened so fast.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I mean, Laurel, I went from being and I get it.
- 6:00Speaker 1: You know, they're hungry, they haven't eaten, They're gonna be snappy.
- 6:03Speaker 1: But I mean that was that was a that was
- 6:05Speaker 1: a brutal fight. What did you think? Did you? Did
- 6:09Speaker 1: you have any kind of opinion on that? No? I
- 6:12Speaker 1: was actually intrigued by their relationship in it. I'm like
- 6:16Speaker 1: the SERTs were a nice throwback for me. That she
- 6:19Speaker 1: hadn't her purse, that she was gonna feed Rory, and
- 6:22Speaker 1: that they had like hair or something fuzzy on them. Um.
- 6:26Speaker 1: And so the whole like wacky Ben and Breakfast person
- 6:31Speaker 1: that had that cheshire cat was the name of the place,
- 6:34Speaker 1: and um, the Annabelle dolls in the background, you know,
- 6:38Speaker 1: those spooky dolls. I just felt like that wacky character
- 6:42Speaker 1: could have been out of Stars Hollow and it fits so.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And we had never met that person before. Her name
- 6:48Speaker 1: was like La Dawn or something like that. And I
- 6:51Speaker 1: felt like, you know, the relationship was snarky, as it
- 6:56Speaker 1: usually is, because you know, they got into the Bed
- 6:58Speaker 1: and Breakfast, they checked in to their room and it
- 7:00Speaker 1: was like all these flowers like Laura Ashley threw up everywhere,
- 7:04Speaker 1: and they made fun of it, and I get it,
- 7:07Speaker 1: and I wouldn't make fun of it too, but they,
- 7:10Speaker 1: you know, they didn't want to sleep there first, and
- 7:12Speaker 1: so the fight was like, I didn't seem that forced.
- 7:16Speaker 1: It just seemed like to me, it was it was good,
- 7:19Speaker 1: it was fine. I know you thought it was felt.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I felt it was a little forced. Yeah, it was
- 7:26Speaker 1: like and Rory had a good point. I mean, it's
- 7:29Speaker 1: like you're my best friend and we can talk about anything,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I want to talk about something,
- 7:33Speaker 1: you snap out on me and you know, just turn
- 7:36Speaker 1: your back on me and go to bed and scream
- 7:37Speaker 1: at me. And it's like Jesus, that's like, well, that
- 7:43Speaker 1: happens sometimes in relationships. Yeah. I think you find out
- 7:48Speaker 1: a lot about people and they act a little bit
- 7:49Speaker 1: different when you travel with people. I mean sometimes you
- 7:52Speaker 1: can go places and not you know, you're friends with
- 7:55Speaker 1: somebody all the time, but then when you're with them
- 7:58Speaker 1: all day, all night, and you realize, oh, I don't
- 8:02Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to go see everything every
- 8:05Speaker 1: every few minutes. I want to do something a little
- 8:07Speaker 1: bit differently. It kind of brings out different aspects of
- 8:11Speaker 1: your relationship that you examine differently, you know. Yeah, all right, Scott,
- 8:17Speaker 1: that's how I That's how I felt about you when
- 8:19Speaker 1: I traveled with you. But and then I was like,
- 8:28Speaker 1: I want to do this again. I want to do
- 8:29Speaker 1: this again. Let's go, let's go Atlanta, let's go through.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Let's go meet your old coach at Atlanta. Yeah. Yeah,
- 8:38Speaker 1: by the way, yeah, they won the World Series, James
- 8:41Speaker 1: is like what they want what the World series ended.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Since they haven't had a World series, right, why didn't
- 8:50Speaker 1: we go to that? We should have went to that game.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Like I take you to the games that are not important.
- 8:55Speaker 1: I guess I don't think you can get a ticket
- 9:00Speaker 1: to the good games. They're all good games down there.
- 9:05Speaker 1: We had a great time down there. Anyway, Congrats to
- 9:08Speaker 1: Brian Snitker, the Atlanta Braves, the entire organization, Rest in peace.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Hank Karon Um, Yeah, you know, these were these were
- 9:15Speaker 1: people that I signed with originally, uh in and back.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I came up through their system before they traded me.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Oh my god, I will never get rid of I
- 9:26Speaker 1: will never get rid of your baseball card. It's the
- 9:28Speaker 1: cutest thing ever. Okay, but anyway, back to the episode.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Uh you also try to find Scott's baseball card. It's amazing.
- 9:38Speaker 1: What's it worth right now? Do you know, Scotty? Okay,
- 9:48Speaker 1: back to the episode. So Melissa McCarthy I love is
- 9:51Speaker 1: in this episode two because there's a pivotal moment about her.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Now she's making this this wedding cake that moral I says, oh,
- 9:59Speaker 1: don't worry about the cake, and she's like okay, and
- 10:02Speaker 1: she's actually making it and it's like four tiers high
- 10:05Speaker 1: and she names it Clyde and then she's like, you
- 10:09Speaker 1: need to tell um, you need to tell Luke for me.
- 10:13Speaker 1: So she goes to the cafe. Suki goes to the
- 10:17Speaker 1: cafe and she has to tell you the news. Now
- 10:23Speaker 1: you remember what the news was. It was Max and
- 10:25Speaker 1: the weddings off. But what did you do? You remember
- 10:28Speaker 1: that scene in the in the cafe at all? I don't.
- 10:32Speaker 1: I don't remember it. But um, I was relieved to
- 10:37Speaker 1: be back and Stars Hollow as a fan of the show.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Now that I'm seeing, okay, get me back to Stars Hollow,
- 10:46Speaker 1: I like being I like being with these two. Um.
- 10:51Speaker 1: You know, they don't want to mix with the bed
- 10:52Speaker 1: and breakfast crowd ha ha. But they were perfectly nice people,
- 10:56Speaker 1: and Rory was trapped by the young and the young
- 10:59Speaker 1: the older couple sitting down grilling her about her boyfriend
- 11:03Speaker 1: and what she's where She's going to call the whole thing.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And they were wonderful actors. They were hysterically funny. Um.
- 11:10Speaker 1: But again, this kind of elitism was is washing over
- 11:13Speaker 1: them where they're I don't know, they're too good to
- 11:16Speaker 1: talk to normal people. And it's like, how is that appealing?
- 11:19Speaker 1: And that's kind of through the lens. I was looking
- 11:22Speaker 1: at a throw and I know they wanted to get
- 11:24Speaker 1: out and they wanted to you know, they didn't want
- 11:26Speaker 1: to get trapped by a group of people. Would be
- 11:28Speaker 1: but it wasn't that big of a deal. You just,
- 11:30Speaker 1: you know, just be nice to people. I guess I'm
- 11:32Speaker 1: getting preachy. I totally get it. But so anyway, so
- 11:39Speaker 1: they so, so let's go, We're back and starts hollow.
- 11:42Speaker 1: But I like but I like the road trip part
- 11:44Speaker 1: of it. It got better for me the closer they
- 11:47Speaker 1: get to Harvard. When they finally get to Harvard, that's
- 11:48Speaker 1: when the episode started kicking in for me, because now
- 11:52Speaker 1: we're seeing all the dreams and the aspirations and all that.
- 11:55Speaker 1: So what I'm doing is the set up to all
- 11:58Speaker 1: that for me was problematic, and I would have had
- 12:01Speaker 1: I been a studio executive or I had been an editor,
- 12:05Speaker 1: I would have maybe said, look, can we dial back
- 12:08Speaker 1: on this, or can we edit this out or something,
- 12:10Speaker 1: because it's to protect the characters anyway, that's not my job.
- 12:15Speaker 1: But now I can voice my opinion. I am. I'm
- 12:17Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of emails about this. They're not
- 12:19Speaker 1: going to be terribly friendly, but that's just how I
- 12:21Speaker 1: feel about it. But I really thought that the setup
- 12:24Speaker 1: was a little bit clumsy, entertaining and funny. Sure, beautifully acted. Yeah,
- 12:30Speaker 1: but now we get to Harvard finally, right, and it's like,
- 12:33Speaker 1: now it kicks in. All the dreams and aspirations of
- 12:36Speaker 1: Rory's future are being breathed with all this fraction, with
- 12:41Speaker 1: all this fresh Harvard oxygen, and then all of of
- 12:45Speaker 1: lauralized potential from the past has dried up and it's
- 12:49Speaker 1: presented to her in those photos of Valde, the Valdive, Valive,
- 12:54Speaker 1: valid Valdive, Victorian ey for me to say, and those
- 12:59Speaker 1: moments she has looking off like what could have been?
- 13:01Speaker 1: And I'm smart, and I'm you know, I'm very bright,
- 13:04Speaker 1: and I could have done this, but now I want
- 13:06Speaker 1: this for my daughter. So those those were very compelling
- 13:09Speaker 1: moments and a lot of a lot of great moments
- 13:11Speaker 1: with you know, the moment when Rory went into the
- 13:14Speaker 1: class and started discussing stoicism with Carl What was that like?
- 13:19Speaker 1: Tell us about that, Carl Um, Well, what I will
- 13:23Speaker 1: tell you is that I think I was shooting this
- 13:25Speaker 1: on my birthday um, so that was kind of cool. Um.
- 13:29Speaker 1: But I do remember I was up there doing that
- 13:34Speaker 1: speech all day, like for every single take, every single shot.
- 13:40Speaker 1: They needed me to give that speech over and over
- 13:43Speaker 1: and over again. At least a hundred times I did
- 13:46Speaker 1: that speech. UM, so I knew it by heart. And
- 13:50Speaker 1: there was a really nice lady who was a makeup woman.
- 13:53Speaker 1: I don't remember what her name was. She had like
- 13:55Speaker 1: brown hair, she's kind of tall. She came up and
- 13:58Speaker 1: she said, you're so good, you should have your own show.
- 14:00Speaker 1: When I said thanks, but they never got my my
- 14:07Speaker 1: close up. I'm like waiting, I'm like giving up this.
- 14:09Speaker 1: By the way, Carl, you know I agree with her. Yes,
- 14:13Speaker 1: But they used to tell that to everybody, so they
- 14:15Speaker 1: wouldn't call that exactly if we had a director that
- 14:24Speaker 1: wouldn't stop doing takes, you know, they'd see if start
- 14:27Speaker 1: fading and they come up and say, you know what,
- 14:29Speaker 1: you're so good you should have your own show. You'd
- 14:33Speaker 1: perk up a little like, isn't she great? I'm kidding
- 14:36Speaker 1: you should? You should know. It worked. It worked, though,
- 14:39Speaker 1: Keep me going, keep me going. So um. But there's
- 14:43Speaker 1: an interesting thing in this this episode that I remember
- 14:46Speaker 1: that the other student that she's talking to the Asian
- 14:51Speaker 1: MASSI okas like it's Massy Coca from Heroes, right, So
- 14:58Speaker 1: like we had kind of be into each other because
- 15:00Speaker 1: you know, when your guest cast, the guest cast hangs out,
- 15:03Speaker 1: the main cast hangs out. So we talked and we'd
- 15:06Speaker 1: hang out. And then fast forward three four years. He
- 15:10Speaker 1: does Heroes and I do Heroes, and I'm like, wow,
- 15:14Speaker 1: he went from being like the last person on the
- 15:16Speaker 1: call list to like the biggest part of the whole show.
- 15:21Speaker 1: And um, but he was such a really nice guy
- 15:24Speaker 1: and really funny and um. You know that that scene
- 15:29Speaker 1: was really interesting to watch Alexis do because it was
- 15:33Speaker 1: really all her, you know, And I remember that day
- 15:37Speaker 1: like people were kind of like giving her space. They
- 15:41Speaker 1: were like, don't don't bother her because she kind of
- 15:44Speaker 1: had to do a lot. And um, but she was
- 15:48Speaker 1: really really nice. It wasn't that big of a scene.
- 15:51Speaker 1: She had a couple of lines of dialogue. It wasn't
- 15:53Speaker 1: that big of a but he did a lot of
- 15:55Speaker 1: stuff other than that within the campus because we were
- 15:58Speaker 1: at U c. L A. You know, that's where that was.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Obviously it wasn't Harvard. It was too sunny, yeah exactly,
- 16:07Speaker 1: and they didn't have the old you know, gothic uh
- 16:10Speaker 1: buildings around Yeah. Yeah, but but yeah, they shot a
- 16:14Speaker 1: lot of stuff that day. So because we're moving around
- 16:16Speaker 1: and I'm sure you had this all the time, you
- 16:19Speaker 1: gotta shoot it right, get it right. And I do
- 16:23Speaker 1: remember when I auditioned for this, Um, Jamie Rodowski, who
- 16:27Speaker 1: I'm actually taking classes with, she told me to said hello,
- 16:31Speaker 1: he said, h yeah, I definitely will. I remember when
- 16:35Speaker 1: I went in. Just before I went in, she stopped me.
- 16:37Speaker 1: She said, just talk as fast as you can. Say
- 16:40Speaker 1: as fast as you can said okay, exactly, the perfect note,
- 16:46Speaker 1: and like, great, you got it. Yeah, that's what they do. Yeah,
- 16:52Speaker 1: because it's that's different than any other show. You don't
- 16:55Speaker 1: they don't want you to say it as fast as
- 16:56Speaker 1: you can. So um, and that's part of the humor
- 17:00Speaker 1: of the show that just works. It's it's so cool. Well,
- 17:03Speaker 1: they've got eighty pages of black ink, which is all
- 17:07Speaker 1: dialogue to fit into what forty minutes, James, you're doing
- 17:12Speaker 1: twenty minutes of commercials right, Oh yes, yeah, so that's
- 17:16Speaker 1: forty minutes. You gotta get any pages? Yeah, yeah, so
- 17:19Speaker 1: you gotta talk twice as fast as anybody else on
- 17:22Speaker 1: any other show. And hey, James, has it changed in syndication.
- 17:26Speaker 1: They still have the same amount of time, same amount. Yeah,
- 17:30Speaker 1: it's not longer or shorter. Same Yes, And it's on
- 17:34Speaker 1: up TV, America's cable network. So anyway, so they so
- 17:41Speaker 1: they go to Harvard. They have all those great moments, right,
- 17:44Speaker 1: and we now see that Rory is capable of handling
- 17:49Speaker 1: IVY League um uh an IVY league education. She's what
- 17:57Speaker 1: she's junior now at this point, she's a soft more jr.
- 18:01Speaker 1: She's a junior? Is she a junior? We're gonna get
- 18:04Speaker 1: fact checked on this, Like, I'm pretty sure because that
- 18:08Speaker 1: one lane set off sent off to Korea and she
- 18:11Speaker 1: comes back in this episode. Yes, so is that? Is
- 18:14Speaker 1: she a sophomore? I think it was really early. I
- 18:18Speaker 1: think she was. I think she had two more years.
- 18:20Speaker 1: I think she's a sophomore. She's got two more year.
- 18:23Speaker 1: So there she is, as a sophomore at a in
- 18:26Speaker 1: a Harvard class, you know, discussing It was a philosophy
- 18:29Speaker 1: class discussing stoicism, Yeah, which I had never heard of before,
- 18:35Speaker 1: and being corrected by you, you corrected her, I did,
- 18:42Speaker 1: and and I had to, I will just say this
- 18:44Speaker 1: real quickly. I looked, I did. I researched that that
- 18:48Speaker 1: what that is. I wrote out the script so I
- 18:50Speaker 1: knew it back and forth. I knew who this character was,
- 18:53Speaker 1: this this man I can't even think of his name
- 18:55Speaker 1: right now, um, but back then I knew it backwards
- 18:59Speaker 1: and words. And I could have said even more if
- 19:01Speaker 1: I had to, just in case, because this was like
- 19:04Speaker 1: big deals, right, just in case you had to improv,
- 19:07Speaker 1: which was never gonna happen on that show, right exactly,
- 19:12Speaker 1: but it has happened on others. We were we had
- 19:15Speaker 1: a kid. We had a kid come in the diner
- 19:16Speaker 1: at one line, just some young kid. He's energetic, nice kid,
- 19:21Speaker 1: good actor, came in and he started doing a whole monologue.
- 19:23Speaker 1: He thought it was this big chance, and he did
- 19:25Speaker 1: this in rehearsal, and I tried to warn him. I said, listen,
- 19:30Speaker 1: you're you're a nice kid and everything, but don't do that, okay,
- 19:33Speaker 1: because they're just gonna cut it and then they're gonna
- 19:36Speaker 1: not hire you again. And it's like, don't just come
- 19:39Speaker 1: say the line, do that, And then the first take came,
- 19:41Speaker 1: he did his whole monologue again he really just you know,
- 19:44Speaker 1: he was so busting out with energy and I just said, guy,
- 19:47Speaker 1: he can't do. That's wasting time, which wastes money on set,
- 19:53Speaker 1: which we didn't have. We didn't have huge amounts of
- 19:56Speaker 1: money and we didn't have huge amounts of time. We
- 19:58Speaker 1: had time, but you know, the time was expensive, you know,
- 20:02Speaker 1: I mean that was when it was still filmed. Yeah, right,
- 20:06Speaker 1: working on the lot point, working on the Warner Brothers lot.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls was the very last show, always to wrap
- 20:13Speaker 1: every night, like we would be doing Friends episodes that
- 20:17Speaker 1: sometimes went to like ten eleven PM and then drive
- 20:22Speaker 1: out like leave and you all still had camera setup
- 20:25Speaker 1: still going. Every night. Every Batman would leave, you know,
- 20:30Speaker 1: the films with the Oceans eleven would leave, we would
- 20:33Speaker 1: still be there. It's like we'd wave good bye to
- 20:36Speaker 1: Brad pet bye. We're gonna be here for another couple
- 20:38Speaker 1: of hours. Scott. Can I ask you, like what it
- 20:42Speaker 1: was like to have all that copy? I mean you
- 20:45Speaker 1: didn't start did you start off as an actor? What
- 20:48Speaker 1: do you mean? Did I start off? When when you
- 20:50Speaker 1: came from baseball? Did you did you always like I
- 20:55Speaker 1: want to be an actor? Oh? No, no, for me,
- 20:58Speaker 1: it was always writing. And then after baseball, I got
- 21:01Speaker 1: I got into I Want. I moved to New York
- 21:03Speaker 1: and studied, studies, studied and at a theater company and
- 21:05Speaker 1: the whole thing. So I was prepared, you know, I
- 21:08Speaker 1: knew how, I knew what I was doing. I was
- 21:09Speaker 1: trained and uh, somewhat professional, i'd like to say, But
- 21:16Speaker 1: the but the die, you know, the dialogue wasn't daunting
- 21:18Speaker 1: to me because I've been doing Shakespeare for several years,
- 21:22Speaker 1: and you know, if you can tackle that, you can
- 21:26Speaker 1: pretty much do anything. And that's what I always recommend
- 21:29Speaker 1: young actress to do, and actresses is getting naily Shakespeare
- 21:33Speaker 1: because if if you can do that, there's nothing more challenging.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Actually it's it's not even terribly challenging once you understand
- 21:41Speaker 1: the story, because there's such an emotional logic to the
- 21:45Speaker 1: dialogue Shakespeare's dialogue that it's easy to remember. It sticks
- 21:48Speaker 1: with you. Um, of course you have to do it
- 21:50Speaker 1: over and over and over again. But I mean, once
- 21:52Speaker 1: you've got it, you've got it. I mean, you know,
- 21:55Speaker 1: I can still recite some of those long speeches from Hamlet. Um,
- 22:00Speaker 1: it's been twenty years since I even thought about it.
- 22:02Speaker 1: So um, yeah, so yeah, that that wasn't the problem.
- 22:06Speaker 1: I think that's probably how I got the job. Yeah,
- 22:09Speaker 1: it is a facility with the dialogue. Because I went
- 22:11Speaker 1: in there and just sort of nailed nailed, nailed, nailed.
- 22:13Speaker 1: It was not a big deal. I think other actors
- 22:15Speaker 1: went in and they maybe struggled a little bit with
- 22:17Speaker 1: the pace and the whole thing. So for me, it
- 22:19Speaker 1: was just it wasn't that hard, you know. Anyway. Um, anyway,
- 22:25Speaker 1: so so we're back. So where are we in the episode? Now? Okay,
- 22:29Speaker 1: so we're we're at campus. Laura Lae is like living
- 22:33Speaker 1: her what could have been moment and she gets hit
- 22:37Speaker 1: on by like a college Oh that was hysterical. Did
- 22:41Speaker 1: you not love that? God? I thought that that was
- 22:45Speaker 1: so pithy. See that's that's Lauren Graham at her best.
- 22:51Speaker 1: You know, it's like she did that happened for her.
- 22:54Speaker 1: A couple of those scenes happened, like with the girls
- 22:57Speaker 1: in the hallway, you know, she did that stick, which
- 23:00Speaker 1: she was like, and then that's Laura at her best.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Rory says, mom, your your college gab comes from happy
- 23:09Speaker 1: days and Valley girls so funny, and those girls could
- 23:18Speaker 1: not like leave her fast. Enough. They were like, you're
- 23:22Speaker 1: just a weirdo. And then and then they go in
- 23:25Speaker 1: invade the girls empty room and say, not going there
- 23:27Speaker 1: to I want to take a picture. You're like studying
- 23:29Speaker 1: at Harvard. And she's like, she's like a robot that
- 23:31Speaker 1: won't stop. And it's just hysterical. And and and then
- 23:35Speaker 1: Rory puts her pencil up for the pictures. She goes,
- 23:37Speaker 1: what you're writing on air? You do you do in
- 23:39Speaker 1: the air? Oh, my gosh, I loved it. It was great. Okay,
- 23:45Speaker 1: so but meanwhile, back at Stars Hollow, Scott is serving coffee, uh,
- 23:51Speaker 1: Lucas serving coffee to our our little Sean Gunn. And
- 23:56Speaker 1: he is, uh having eight refills. I think it was
- 24:00Speaker 1: eight refills. And you were very upset about this. You know,
- 24:03Speaker 1: I'm in a bad mood, right, I lost my woman.
- 24:09Speaker 1: You're taking it out on poor Shawn Gunn, who's actually
- 24:13Speaker 1: giving me a lot of business. But wait a minute,
- 24:15Speaker 1: these are free refills, right. I don't think he's paying
- 24:18Speaker 1: for him. No, he's not. And news has not got
- 24:23Speaker 1: to you yet. The weddings off. The whole town knows,
- 24:26Speaker 1: but you don't know. I do not know. Yeah, they
- 24:28Speaker 1: rolled back in and you know, people were sort of
- 24:31Speaker 1: waving their hankies at him, and Sean says, do you
- 24:33Speaker 1: need to hug the whole deal? And then you had
- 24:35Speaker 1: your pivotal moment at least in my mind, where we
- 24:38Speaker 1: got to see a different side of you, and you
- 24:40Speaker 1: sparked up and you were like Swede and not grumpy
- 24:44Speaker 1: and just really happy his hat. Yeah, like oh my gosh,
- 24:50Speaker 1: and you gave him as many three cups of coffee
- 24:52Speaker 1: as he wanted. It was really nice scene. You just
- 24:57Speaker 1: like totally changed. I loved it. Like then I wanted
- 25:02Speaker 1: you with her, Like I was like, I'm all in
- 25:05Speaker 1: for her, and that's what I'm all about because I was.
- 25:10Speaker 1: I was a Max fan, you know, I was. You know,
- 25:13Speaker 1: I wanted her to have love. We all want we
- 25:15Speaker 1: all want love, and I wanted her to have it.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Had I known that at the time, James, when we
- 25:20Speaker 1: were traveling together, I think we would have had a problem.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Oh well, I bet we'll have a little problem after this,
- 25:27Speaker 1: but that's it's okay. Come on, you gotta love love.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Come on, Scottie boyd. Yeah, I do. I do. Scott
- 25:43Speaker 1: You seem like when he's giving you these compliments, you
- 25:45Speaker 1: seem just the slightest bit uncomfortable. How did you feel
- 25:48Speaker 1: about that scene? Well, there's another scene. There's another scene
- 25:52Speaker 1: that he's very important, and it's the hoopa on the
- 25:55Speaker 1: lawn that you build for them. And it's a beautiful wood.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Are I say it? You said hoopa? Oh again? Thank you,
- 26:12Speaker 1: thank you, Carl, professor um. Yes, So you build this
- 26:17Speaker 1: and you carve it and there's like goats on it
- 26:19Speaker 1: and like weird little ribbons that you carved into the
- 26:23Speaker 1: wood and it's beautiful. Well you didn't really do it,
- 26:26Speaker 1: but here's the thing. It's a beautiful, beautiful gesture. And
- 26:31Speaker 1: she comes back to tell you what. Remember, she's not
- 26:35Speaker 1: gonna like get rid of it. She's gonna keep it, right,
- 26:38Speaker 1: she'll because I said, all come in the morning and
- 26:40Speaker 1: move it, or I'll move it now, I'll get it
- 26:42Speaker 1: out of the yard. And yeah, I didn't move it,
- 26:44Speaker 1: and I hit myself in the head, like, oh, I'm
- 26:46Speaker 1: sorry you had to come back and see that, and
- 26:48Speaker 1: the reminder of what could have been with Max and
- 26:51Speaker 1: the whole thing. So he's being very self deprecating, I
- 26:55Speaker 1: guess at that point. So sweet, good job. Yeah, yeah,
- 26:59Speaker 1: it was you know, it's good writing. What can you say?
- 27:02Speaker 1: I don't know. So we just were just trying not
- 27:04Speaker 1: to screw up the lines and and not run into
- 27:07Speaker 1: the furniture, right, that's her job. Now, do you remember?
- 27:09Speaker 1: The other pivotal moment in this episode is where Lorelei
- 27:13Speaker 1: calls Suki after she makes that giant cake she names
- 27:16Speaker 1: Clyde and she and she I think she asked you, like,
- 27:20Speaker 1: how do you get a business loan? Right? She comes in. Yeah,
- 27:24Speaker 1: she finally comes in and there's that scene. Yeah, it's
- 27:26Speaker 1: very nice. Uh, yeah, it was. It was a nice Uh,
- 27:31Speaker 1: it was a nice tender scene between those two where
- 27:34Speaker 1: you know, the feelings are very raw and he's very
- 27:38Speaker 1: relieved and he's feeling like he's feeling lucky. You know,
- 27:44Speaker 1: I don't think he feels lucky a lot like he dodged.
- 27:49Speaker 1: I think it's one of those moments where he, you know,
- 27:52Speaker 1: he was he he didn't want to admit to himself
- 27:55Speaker 1: how devastated he was. But once she's back on the
- 27:59Speaker 1: mark it he's like so happy, so relieved because he's
- 28:03Speaker 1: got maybe another shot. Well, yeah, and now can you
- 28:07Speaker 1: please make a move? Thank you? I know it's in
- 28:13Speaker 1: the writing it's supposed to go for episodes and episodes. Well,
- 28:17Speaker 1: now that you put it that way, I think I will.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I think I will. For you, I go back and
- 28:23Speaker 1: then you get to watch them all differently. Now we'll
- 28:26Speaker 1: go back and then it'll have changed. I don't even
- 28:34Speaker 1: remember filming these saints. I do not remember filming this stuff.
- 28:38Speaker 1: It's like you work, you know, you work so often,
- 28:43Speaker 1: and you're working your short term memory, right, and because
- 28:47Speaker 1: you have to write, you got to clear out the
- 28:49Speaker 1: junk to be able to retain the new stuff the
- 28:51Speaker 1: next day that you don't I don't remember any of
- 28:55Speaker 1: this shooting, any of this stuff, and I'm watching it like,
- 28:57Speaker 1: is that really me? I? So it's it's an odd experience.
- 29:03Speaker 1: I mean it's it's kind of kind of great because
- 29:06Speaker 1: it's so far removed from what it happened that I'm
- 29:08Speaker 1: not sort of you know, I'm not so hyper critical
- 29:11Speaker 1: of it as I normally would be, but but thank
- 29:14Speaker 1: you for your kind words. It's uh, they were, you know,
- 29:18Speaker 1: there were all nice scenes to shoot with Lauren. They
- 29:20Speaker 1: were all tender and nice and you know, fraught with
- 29:23Speaker 1: tension and fraught with love, and it's very nice, very nice, experience. Yeah, um,
- 29:29Speaker 1: and then we how do we wrap up the episode here? Well,
- 29:34Speaker 1: she goes home and Mom is like, oh, oh god,
- 29:38Speaker 1: what do you have to tell me? You're showing me
- 29:41Speaker 1: all these photos on a projector I hate projector I'd
- 29:45Speaker 1: rather have him in a pile of photos or whatever
- 29:47Speaker 1: Mom was saying. And then she has to tell her
- 29:50Speaker 1: mom that the wedding's off finally too, and Mom gets
- 29:53Speaker 1: upset and Morla I only wants to know what the
- 29:57Speaker 1: gift is that Mom got her, So she's like, what
- 30:00Speaker 1: did you get me? Did you get me iced teaspoons?
- 30:02Speaker 1: Because teaspoons and nice teaspoons like that that fun dialogue
- 30:07Speaker 1: that always happens on the show. And I don't think
- 30:10Speaker 1: we find out what that gift is. We do not,
- 30:14Speaker 1: and I don't think we will. Well maybe we will,
- 30:16Speaker 1: but very funny scene between those two. It kept going
- 30:20Speaker 1: off camera too. It was supposed to be over and
- 30:24Speaker 1: then they kept going. It was great. Yeah, So Carl,
- 30:31Speaker 1: tell us about your experience, um, working on the show
- 30:37Speaker 1: and compared to other shows that you did. Tell Well,
- 30:41Speaker 1: I mean, I know you've you you've you've touched on
- 30:43Speaker 1: it lightly, but go go into it a little more
- 30:45Speaker 1: about the guilt being gilmour ized. Well, I will say
- 30:49Speaker 1: that this was probably my first big role, um being
- 30:54Speaker 1: on Gilmore Girls. And it was also the first time
- 30:57Speaker 1: I got to play a teacher. Yeah, because I came
- 31:00Speaker 1: from a family teacher, so it's like a big deal
- 31:03Speaker 1: that I got to actually play a teacher finally. Um.
- 31:06Speaker 1: But it was definitely one of those jobs where I
- 31:11Speaker 1: felt like, this is a step up because there is
- 31:16Speaker 1: a rhythm to this show. You've got to match what
- 31:18Speaker 1: they do. It's not just you come in and you
- 31:20Speaker 1: say you're your plot points. But this was actually a
- 31:24Speaker 1: dynamic working with other people and I was leaving the scene.
- 31:28Speaker 1: I got to leave the scene, and that was it
- 31:32Speaker 1: was really exciting for me. Um to get to do that.
- 31:37Speaker 1: And they said one I left, well, you know, she's
- 31:40Speaker 1: got to go to college, and maybe you'll get to
- 31:41Speaker 1: come back. Maybe you get to come back and lo
- 31:45Speaker 1: and behold. Two years later they did call me, so, Um,
- 31:49Speaker 1: I did get to go back. But that's another show
- 31:52Speaker 1: because they they said I ended up working for a
- 31:57Speaker 1: different college. Um. I was her professor and at Yale
- 32:02Speaker 1: as well. And itsbelievable you could have you know, maybe
- 32:07Speaker 1: they didn't tenure you at Harvard. Yeah, differybody said that
- 32:10Speaker 1: I really wouldn't happen. You wouldn't go from Harvard to Yale.
- 32:12Speaker 1: It wouldn't happen. That's what people told me. Really wouldn't happen.
- 32:20Speaker 1: But I was I was just glad that they even
- 32:23Speaker 1: thought to bring me back and do it. And um,
- 32:27Speaker 1: you know, it was It definitely felt like kind of
- 32:30Speaker 1: a family thing to be in that community of the
- 32:35Speaker 1: show because you guys are just working so tightly together
- 32:39Speaker 1: and it's got to work so fast. Um. It was
- 32:42Speaker 1: very cool. It was. It was really cool. Alright, alright, guys,
- 32:46Speaker 1: you're ready to play? Uh rapid Fire? Oh my god,

- 33:56Speaker 1: I wrote and recorded as a theme song to the

- 45:45Speaker 1: helps you. Got it does? Yes? Well, I mean it's
- 45:49Speaker 1: it's fiber. Yeah, I mean, it's like it's nutrients and fiber.
- 45:53Speaker 1: It's it's it's the it's the the fruit that grows
- 45:57Speaker 1: around the coffee bean on the tree that you really
- 46:00Speaker 1: discarded and we grind it up and added to breakfast
- 46:04Speaker 1: plen and house plot and it's full of nutrients and
- 46:06Speaker 1: iron and great stuff fiber. The phrasing was, it was funny.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Didn't you add that stuff to it that makes you
- 46:21Speaker 1: go potty? The name of it. I knew I was
- 46:30Speaker 1: going to have fun today. Oh good, we had a
- 46:34Speaker 1: lot of fun too. Thank you for inviting us. That
- 46:36Speaker 1: was so nice of you. And Amy Sugarman. Huh don't
- 46:40Speaker 1: you love her? God? What a ball club? Yeah, she
- 46:44Speaker 1: lit up. She lit up like a Christmas tree when
- 46:46Speaker 1: I when I mentioned your name, by the way she did. Yeah. Well,
- 46:51Speaker 1: Amy Sugarman and I go back to our Gilmore days
- 46:54Speaker 1: because she was around um working on radio, and I
- 46:59Speaker 1: would have to call her to get you booked on
- 47:03Speaker 1: Ryan Secrest show. So that's how the marketing all works.
- 47:11Speaker 1: We're still good friends and and anything that she wants
- 47:15Speaker 1: we will will always do for you. You're the best, buddy,
- 47:20Speaker 1: You're absolutely the best. Um. Anyway, guys, thank you so much.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Pleasure meeting you. Carl, Thank you, see you guys, see
- 47:28Speaker 1: you by bye, Carl, Bye James. Yeah, okay, everybody, we're back.
- 47:37Speaker 1: Wasn't that fun? James and Carl fantastic conversation with those
- 47:42Speaker 1: two gentlemen. Uh, and we're gonna we're gonna chop it
- 47:45Speaker 1: up a little more with the ladies here, Daniel Romo,
- 47:49Speaker 1: Riley Pelucis, Amy Sugarman, who I believe a little bit up.
- 47:56Speaker 1: She's very fired up. I think she's got some hair
- 47:59Speaker 1: treatment going on or something. My camera. I don't know
- 48:02Speaker 1: my camera on because I have hair color in hair,
- 48:04Speaker 1: but there's hair color. I love James. I love James Pettitt.
- 48:08Speaker 1: I've known him as long as you have, like over
- 48:11Speaker 1: twenty years. But I disagree, Scott. I agree with you
- 48:17Speaker 1: that I thought the Rory lor Life fight in the
- 48:22Speaker 1: Flowery bed and Breakfast bedroom was random. It was so aggressive,
- 48:29Speaker 1: and I get it because loora Lie is upset and
- 48:32Speaker 1: doesn't want to talk about it, but it was almost
- 48:34Speaker 1: like she was mad at Rory. It was like, so
- 48:38Speaker 1: I wanted to have a little bit of a conversation.
- 48:40Speaker 1: I understand why James liked it because it was a
- 48:45Speaker 1: fun sort of scene to watch, but it was really aggressive,
- 48:50Speaker 1: like Lorlie was so mad at Rory, and when she
- 48:52Speaker 1: could have just said I'm still having such a hard
- 48:55Speaker 1: time with this, I don't want to talk about it,
- 48:57Speaker 1: but she was so angry. I think you make a
- 49:02Speaker 1: choice as an actor, right you. You you live the
- 49:05Speaker 1: given circumstances of the piece of the material that's handed
- 49:08Speaker 1: to you, and you analyze it and you make your
- 49:12Speaker 1: choices based on that. And I think I think that's
- 49:15Speaker 1: a situation where maybe Laurence said if she wasn't given
- 49:20Speaker 1: the direction to do that, And I think I think
- 49:22Speaker 1: there's also another reason. Okay, there's a couple of reasons.
- 49:25Speaker 1: Maybe Laurence said, Okay, we haven't eaten. Uh. That can
- 49:29Speaker 1: have adverse effects on personality and temper that kind of thing.
- 49:34Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm going to justify the snap. Okay. So okay,
- 49:39Speaker 1: so that's one category. Okay, that can happen, and it's
- 49:44Speaker 1: happened to me when I'm starving, man, And you know,
- 49:46Speaker 1: when you when you get angry, that might be angry
- 49:49Speaker 1: right there. Okay, that might be a clearly beautifully portrayed
- 49:55Speaker 1: uh angry alone. It just flips on you in an instant.
- 50:02Speaker 1: You don't want to talk about it and turn out
- 50:03Speaker 1: damn light. I'm going to bed by um. It also
- 50:06Speaker 1: could be a hangry thing, an a tired thing for
- 50:12Speaker 1: Lauren in the moment when there's too many takes being
- 50:15Speaker 1: asked to do. It's repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, and
- 50:18Speaker 1: then you can get frustrated. And I've been there too,
- 50:22Speaker 1: um and I think I've made some choices based on that,
- 50:25Speaker 1: and it's sort of you try not to let it
- 50:27Speaker 1: influence you, but you you know, if you start feeling
- 50:30Speaker 1: manipulated by the director and it's like too many takes
- 50:32Speaker 1: and it's like, yes, okay, what do you need, and
- 50:34Speaker 1: it's like I've kind of given you everything I have.
- 50:36Speaker 1: And maybe she was in a situation where she the
- 50:39Speaker 1: director was asking too much of her, asking her to
- 50:41Speaker 1: repeat herself too many times, and she just got pissed.
- 50:45Speaker 1: It's possible. I don't know. I don't know. Writing was aggressive,
- 50:49Speaker 1: so it was like it was meant for her to
- 50:51Speaker 1: be kind of mad. You can interpret that's interesting. You
- 50:58Speaker 1: can interpret that any way you want. You could interpret
- 51:01Speaker 1: it with with loving, gentle care, quiet, you can pop
- 51:05Speaker 1: at it, you can go you know wild, there's million
- 51:08Speaker 1: different directions you can go with it. If if the
- 51:10Speaker 1: director wants a fight, they're going to have to give
- 51:12Speaker 1: him a fight, you know what I mean. If if
- 51:13Speaker 1: that's the direction, So I don't know, you know, it's
- 51:16Speaker 1: it's like Yeah, Rory stayed calm. She was much relaxed
- 51:22Speaker 1: or loving or calm about it, and really was seemed
- 51:25Speaker 1: to be coming from a place of like, this is
- 51:28Speaker 1: a huge thing, and I think we should talk about it,
- 51:32Speaker 1: like you're just ignoring it or pretending it didn't happen,
- 51:36Speaker 1: or like, I agree that the scene was important, but
- 51:43Speaker 1: it was weird, like it was like but I remember
- 51:48Speaker 1: just watching it and writing down WHOA that was like
- 51:51Speaker 1: their biggest fight ever and Rory didn't even do anything.
- 51:55Speaker 1: I don't think it needed the anger. Yeah, I agree
- 51:59Speaker 1: to get the point of the seeing You get she's devastated.
- 52:02Speaker 1: You get that she's in a in a confused place.
- 52:05Speaker 1: She that she's conflicted about walking away from Max and
- 52:09Speaker 1: all that more life's going to go and that kind
- 52:11Speaker 1: of a thing. But I know, loreal Ize seemed less
- 52:14Speaker 1: angry at r Rory when she fell asleep at Miss
- 52:17Speaker 1: Patty's with Dean and didn't come home. She was so
- 52:20Speaker 1: mad at her when it was like all she's trying
- 52:22Speaker 1: to do is sort of talk to you. And then
- 52:25Speaker 1: the next morning, I think Rory says something like hey
- 52:27Speaker 1: about last night, and loyal lies like we're good, and
- 52:31Speaker 1: I remember going we're not good. Yeah, why it's like,
- 52:38Speaker 1: you know, there needs to be an apology there. Yes,
- 52:41Speaker 1: I thought so too. I was like, whoa. So I
- 52:44Speaker 1: just thought that was interesting, not that I didn't like it,
- 52:48Speaker 1: but I agreed with you, like, it's interesting to see
- 52:51Speaker 1: how James was watching it and it didn't he just
- 52:53Speaker 1: kind of enjoy that as a part of it. Well,
- 52:57Speaker 1: he does work at Warner Brothers. He's a tough dude.
- 53:00Speaker 1: He's got a thicker skin than we do. Maybe we're
- 53:02Speaker 1: just too sensitive for this type of work. Who knows.
- 53:06Speaker 1: I have been accused of that before. I liked the
- 53:09Speaker 1: antics of the Bed and Breakfast and how weird it was,
- 53:12Speaker 1: and that was the amazing Susan Ruttan playing the older
- 53:18Speaker 1: lady talking to Rory, who I love from l A Law.
- 53:21Speaker 1: So I liked all that and you know, just the
- 53:24Speaker 1: weird like bed and Breakfast lady. But I agree that
- 53:27Speaker 1: scene in the bedroom was oddly crazy. I thought you
- 53:33Speaker 1: got it right. Yeah, if it wasn't this, I mean,
- 53:40Speaker 1: if I'm directing that episode, I'm taking that scene in
- 53:42Speaker 1: a different direction. I agree. I was like, whoa. Now
- 53:46Speaker 1: I wasn't as bothered by I love country music I
- 53:49Speaker 1: wasn't as bothered by them kind of mocking country music.
- 53:52Speaker 1: But James made a great point that they're supposed to
- 53:54Speaker 1: be listening to this radio station only as country music
- 53:57Speaker 1: and then they're playing Hoodie in the Blowfish Like that
- 53:59Speaker 1: was always a little like random, But I agree. I
- 54:03Speaker 1: totally got what you were saying. It's like, why did
- 54:05Speaker 1: they just rip on country music? Yeah, I don't understand.
- 54:09Speaker 1: I mean it was like, I think you kind of
- 54:10Speaker 1: nailed it, like they're from this East Coast town. But
- 54:14Speaker 1: that's that's the mentality, you know, that's people rip on
- 54:17Speaker 1: country music in the Northeast. Now not so much because
- 54:21Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's really it's really become you know,
- 54:26Speaker 1: it's changed. Three. I didn't know if we were looking
- 54:30Speaker 1: at it through the lens of today, whereas opposed to
- 54:32Speaker 1: twenty years ago, people would more make fun of country music.
- 54:35Speaker 1: I mean more like thirty years ago, I would say
- 54:37Speaker 1: four years ago, where it was like I lost my
- 54:39Speaker 1: girlfriend and my dog, ate my whatever, you know what
- 54:42Speaker 1: I mean. But it's not like that everybody you know,
- 54:45Speaker 1: living in the big cities making fun of country folks,
- 54:48Speaker 1: and now everybody in the big cities are pouring into
- 54:50Speaker 1: the country desperate to get out of the big cities.
- 54:54Speaker 1: I guess they're not making fun of them anymore. Yeah,
- 54:59Speaker 1: and I do think, you know, I know, we have
- 55:01Speaker 1: to we've got to get to pop culture. But I
- 55:03Speaker 1: do think that scene between you and Lauren was so
- 55:09Speaker 1: I loved it, Like you, you were amazing. They really
- 55:12Speaker 1: are bonding, and it was the first time maybe not
- 55:16Speaker 1: the first time, but one of the times where Luke
- 55:19Speaker 1: really is the boyfriend. You go to the boyfriend to
- 55:23Speaker 1: ask about his advice about opening your own business and
- 55:27Speaker 1: wanting his support, and you were really there to help her,
- 55:29Speaker 1: and you're like, hey, let's find some time and we'll
- 55:31Speaker 1: really talk about this. And it was like such the
- 55:34Speaker 1: conversation that a married couple would happen, and you were
- 55:39Speaker 1: like wow. And again, I guess the best way to
- 55:41Speaker 1: say it is like Luke is always taking care of her.
- 55:44Speaker 1: He's always there for her, and she allows it, unlike Max,
- 55:49Speaker 1: who she was like you have no role here, Like
- 55:52Speaker 1: Luke has a role. Yeah. I'm now beginning to see
- 55:57Speaker 1: the scope of this relationship in the and the and
- 56:00Speaker 1: the and the importance it has in the show. Even
- 56:04Speaker 1: though you don't see me a lot. Um, it's it's
- 56:09Speaker 1: it's one of the pillars. I would say, um um,
- 56:14Speaker 1: I'm I don't know. I just I just feel really
- 56:19Speaker 1: lucky to have gotten that role. And the more the
- 56:21Speaker 1: more episodes I watched on the point, did I get
- 56:23Speaker 1: lucky this role? You know? I know I fell in,
- 56:29Speaker 1: I really fell into something. Yeah, Okay, everybody, it's Scott Patter.
- 56:40Speaker 1: They know who I am at this point, so I
- 56:41Speaker 1: don't have to keep saying that throughout the whole thing.
- 56:44Speaker 1: We did. We did get the memo from the fans like,
- 56:47Speaker 1: shut up, I'm not gonna say it every like I
- 56:52Speaker 1: say like eight times that Scott please stop doing that editing.
- 56:58Speaker 1: We're not editing. M so good. They know what they're doing.
- 57:05Speaker 1: The fans know. We try to get the fans what
- 57:07Speaker 1: they want. I was about to launch into that. I
- 57:10Speaker 1: just need to do it once, that's what. No, just
- 57:13Speaker 1: at the top of the show and the show. I
- 57:15Speaker 1: don't need to do it eight times in between. We
- 57:17Speaker 1: got the memo thank you fans, we love you. You
- 57:19Speaker 1: barely need to do it once because they clicked on
- 57:23Speaker 1: the podcast so they know. But but but but it's
- 57:26Speaker 1: I like doing it. It's fine. It's just like it's
- 57:31Speaker 1: fun to do it. You can remind people. I feel
- 57:34Speaker 1: like Ed McMahon and Johnny carsonal rolled into the one
- 57:37Speaker 1: and here's Johnny. You know this kind of thing. I
- 57:40Speaker 1: don't know. It's fine, do it again, right now, do it.
- 57:43Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it.
- 57:49Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. Are you going to introduce Ley
- 57:52Speaker 1: Scott Patterson? This is the Aisland. I can't even say
- 57:57Speaker 1: it anyway. You know who I'm channeling for that Seacrest

- 1:06:11Speaker 1: had cleaned himself with carbon tetra chloride prior to the show,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: leached the chemicals into his skins. I know and Michael

- 1:08:56Speaker 1: Leave It to Beaver. The series was a satire of
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: American slipper been life, and Fred's Herman Munster costume was
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: brutally hot. It was essential to keep him cool, not
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: only for his health, but to keep his makeup from
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: melting town meetings. Huh So he had a town meeting
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: every day at work? That guy inside his costume. Wait

- 1:12:50Speaker 1: like it's like a band freestyle and it's like some

- 1:12:57Speaker 1: trumpet player, name he's a bassoon and or on whatever.

- 1:13:47Speaker 1: some people are. Some people aren't. Some people are robbed
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: of their talents and they're given to other people like Riley,
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: and some people robbed of their voice on certain days,
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: like Danielle, what's going on? Danielle? Say something? Say something?

- 1:14:51Speaker 1: There's no, tell me abo, tell me about it. That's
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: it for pop culture. Yeah. So my favorite line was
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: from Ladawn, the Cookie bed and breakfast owner, and she
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: says the whole thing with the bell just cracked me up.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: I'm not usually sitting here when guests arrived, so people
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: ring the bell, and they loved to ring the bell.
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: And you didn't get to ring the bell. I like,
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: I am a grown woman. This was actually during the fight,
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: says the woman with a Hello kitty waffle iron Um.
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: I guess there's a lot of them, but it was
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: for me. It was just one word that Laurel I
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: said to the college student that was hitting on her.
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: The very last thing she said to him was getchi
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: or gichi and that is a term what is that
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: a term from the fifties or something like. That's a
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: term from happy days And it was so out of
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: whack with to the back then even uh with two thousand,
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: two thousand one. It was just I got a good
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: chuckolate that one. Okay. And my favorite line is from
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: Suki yet again, and it was when she said you
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: were a good cake, Clyde. I never should have named
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: you the poor cake was so beautiful. Cake she just
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: gave the piece away. It was so sad. She started
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: chopping from the bottom, and I was worried it was
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: the whole thing was going to topple over. I there
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: was anxiety created there because I thought, just cut from
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: the top, take a slice from well, what do I know.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: I don't know anything about building wedding cakes. It's dressed
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: me out too. But then I was like, the probably
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: every other layer's fake. So she had to cut the bottom.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: Oh that is an excellent point. Is that what they
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: do well on wedding cakes? The ones that are really
