  Speaker 1: I am all in.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: You. I am all in with Scott Patterson, an iHeartRadio podcast.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Everybody Scott Patterson, I am all in podcast special little segment.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to some fans. They're gonna call in,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: They've got their questions. I can't wait. I love these things.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I love the fan Q and a kind of my
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: favorite thing to do. Uh So let's uh, let's bring
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in Sea and find out what she wants to know. Hi, Sia, Hi,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: how you doing it? You're you're calling in from where
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you're all the way from Greece. Oh my goodness, what part.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: It's the co capital of the country, the Salami.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that is that's fantastic. So hello, welcome,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: nice to meet you. You're very welcome. What is your question?
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, my first question is what did you think was
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: the main factor. It's just maturing over the years.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Just maturing because I think when you screw up that much,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: when it's so clear that you have horrible parents, Okay,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: when you're when it's just sort of obvious for that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: long and your entire childhood is sort of trying to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: reconcile that fact, it dawns on you that you need
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to just sort of disconnect from it all and you're
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: going to have to do it on your own, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: then that you find a certain strength. And I think
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that's what happened to him, because he knew that the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: he's obvious, very bright, he's obviously has a good heart.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: He was just he just had to get away from
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: those two people and and find out who he really was. Uh.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And he was noble enough to understand at that tender
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: age that he was wrong for Rory, that he was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: just going to damage her and get her off her path.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: He he because he needed to. He understood he needed
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to work on himself. And I think that he worked
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: on himself very hard and very diligently and successfully obviously,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: so he really came out the other side the way
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you hope some a young person coming from that background
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: comes out of it. You know.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it was tough for him.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: We can pick our friends, we can't pick our parents, right,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you know, So it's I think the sooner you accept
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it and stop trying to make it right. And I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: think he just he understood that he had to move
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: on and just make that psychological break and work on himself.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Did you think he had anything to do with Rory.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I do, I do. I think she gave him a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: taste of what could be in his life. Maybe not
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with her, but when you taste such sweet fruit and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: such nourishing fruit, you know, when you're touched that deeply
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: by love from somebody of quality whose heart is in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the right place, Yeah, that's life changing. Life is love
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: is very healing. And I think you know, she sprinkled
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a little fairy dust on him. And you know, I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: don't know if she's one hundred percent responsible for his success,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but she had something to do with it. You know
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: for sure that that rocked his world. She rocked his behind.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Every great man there's an even greater woman and U
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and that was his great woman. And I think, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Laura l I had some good influence on him too,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So there's two great women behind him. So he got
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: lucky that they cross paths. And I think his uncle's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: pretty good too. I think Luke, uh, I think I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: think Luke had a nice influence on him. And in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: his way, you know, in his archaic, stumbling way, I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: think he provided the tough the tough love that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: He needed exactly.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but time is it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: It's too six A.

• 6:11
  Speaker 3: your turn podcast a few months ago now, but maybe
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: you're using more now on just season five or even
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a year in the life, if you kind of remember
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: where we are heading, what are your hopes for Luke
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: or any other characters that stand out to you? As
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: you venture into the last two seasons.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I hope Luke gets what he wants and which is
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a family, which is children with Loralai. And I know
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that's not going to happen, but.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: There's still time. I say, there's still.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Time at this point. Geez, Yeah, he might jump out
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of his wheelchair and right at this point, but yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I'm really pulling for him. I know it ain't happening, but.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: One can hope.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: By the way, can I give you a quick idea?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: By the way, sure, if you ever stop in Pittsburgh,
• 7:08

• 7:11
  Speaker 3: in near Pennsylvania. It is the most stars hollow place
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: you will ever go to in the real world. They
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: have they literally have like historical stuff all the time.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: They have festivals and they have a gazebo in the.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Middle of town.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: So I find that a lot of the Northeast has
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: stars hollow like you know, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Vermont,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire's they've got very stars hollowey.

  Speaker 1: You're very welcome. You're very welcome. Where are you calling
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in from?
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Kissimmi, Florida?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Ohim? Is it kiss me or Kissimysimmy? Kissimi?
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: It's Cassimmi, Florida. Yeah, I was just somebody was some
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: friends of mine were looking at a house. The houses
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in kissim I love. They love the houses there, they
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: love the neighborhoods, they love everything about. It's right outside
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of Orlando, right, Yes.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I'm minutes from the park, like eight minutes from Animal Kingdom.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: All right, right, right here.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Right, you're a little bit south, right, kissimm is a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: little south of Orlando. Yeah. Oh that's terrific. So so
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: what is your question or questions?
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I have two of them.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Okay, if you were to do a spin off, now
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: mm hmm, did that look like and would you consider
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: not being the lead character but being a supporting character
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: to the employees at.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Luke's supporting character of the employees at Luke's.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: No, so oh, no, I know what you mean.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: No, I would want to see a spinoff called The Huntsburgers,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: because I think that they're wacky and wonderful and wild
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and funny and crazy, and that would make for interesting television.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And I think I think Luke would have a role
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in that, but not the lead. But I would like
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to interact with those people on some level because I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: just the scene, the dinner scene where they destroyed Rory
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: when she came over for that engagement dinner, Logan's sister's
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: engagement dinner. I was one of the best scenes I've
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: ever seen on Gilmour. It was just hysterically funny.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: But you're characters married to Laurelize, so you would intertwine
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: because you know Rory, well, you're not, you're in the
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: life yet, right right right?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, so you're saying, if Logan and Rory were
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to get married, and Laurel and I are married, then
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it's all sort of sort of relatives. We're all we're
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: all family. Yeah, we'd have we'd have to interact with
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: each other.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: So you would be off.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, why not?
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, I uh, especially if he's the daddy. Let's
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: say that he were and your father.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Right right, yeah? I mean more zany high jinks to come.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, just think of all the situations with this,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: especially with the Huntsburgers.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Oh Man of the Huntsburgers, Right, Luke were Rory's real
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: dad with his advice to Rory b about Logan and
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: the Huntsburgers.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: If Rory was her biological father, Laura I and Luke
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: had gotten together at sixteen mm hm oh boy, well,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: that would be a whole different situation. I mean, would
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: she be at Yale, would she have even met a Logan?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Let's say she did. I would probably have gotten in
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: my truck and gone to the Huntsburgers and punch somebody
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: out for talking to her that way, you know what
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I mean. I would have gotten in somebody's face. Luke
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: would have gotten in somebody's face.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I agree. I agree with yeah for sure.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: And then my last one is if you could watch
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: a movie of one of the followings, what would it
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: be Dosie's Market, Red White and Read Movie Theater, So
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: does Shop or Shoppy how Amy calls it?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Or Miss Patty's Dance Studio. Which one would it be?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Taylor Dosi? Yeah, I love him. I think it's hysterical.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I'd watch a Taylor Dozy movie every time.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: He's great. Yeah, I need more tailor, all right.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So listen, thank you. You were a delight and we
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: might be in touch very soon. You never know.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: We'll have a blessed day. And that she is Queen Amy.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: It's not just queen's and yelling Queen's Are.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: You say that?
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Real Gilmore girls fans would not misbehave.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: And so when she said that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Her feelings were hurt, I felt bad because he has
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: her opinions.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: So right, I agree. I completely agree.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: My homegirl, because I agree with her most of the time, right,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: We don't expect everybody to agree with this one hundred
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: percent of the time. You know. We take our shots too, right,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and we get some feedback and that's fine, it's it's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it's all good. Anyway.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Just let her know that I I will bye.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Definitely do it. Thank you. Jessica, Hi Jill, how you doing.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I'm doing well. How are you good?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Where are you calling in from?
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Just outside of ann Arbor, Michigan.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm going to be in motor City at
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: MotorCity Comic Con in November November I think eleven and twelve.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But I'm coming up your way. Nice, Yeah, I'm coming
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: up to Michigan. How's the weather?
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Absolutely beautiful? Really, it's been in the mid seventies all week.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I guess next week it might get up to ninety.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: But other than that, mid to late seventies, it's been.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Great, right anyway, So what what? What is your question?
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: The first question is, and this is for episode twenty one,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: why do you think Rory so quickly accepted Mitchum's rejection?
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: And do you think it might have something to do
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: with her being in a relationship with Logan because she's
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: had a lot of criticism in the past. I mean,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Doyle gave her criticism and she moved past that. So
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: why do you think this is such a special I.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Think this is a situation where it's a Godzilla versus Bambi,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and I think Godzilla misbehaved here. And I think when
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you've got a young, impressionable, super positive force in a
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Rory and you are in that kind of a position
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of power, you do not say what he said to her,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and if you do, it can be devastating. And obviously
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: it was. I don't care how strong a person you are,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: if the number one person in the world, the most powerful,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: one of the most powerful people in that business or
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: whatever business. It doesn't matter if journalism or you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you know, pick your category. If somebody says you ain't
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: got a kid, that's gonna hurt. I don't care who
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you are. I don't care if you're you know, a
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: big tough guy or you're you know, you're a very
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: stable person with a huge support system. That's gonna hurt.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: That is a knockout blow and it's going to cause
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: anybody distress. And I think especially somebody like Rory who
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and we just discussed this, you know, ten minutes ago.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: We just finished recapping twenty two. Somebody that has Christopher
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: DNA in them, who's a known quitter, a known screw up,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and DNA to me is destiny. And that's just kind
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: of how it is. I mean, it's programmed into her,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it's hardwired into her. So she was, but nobody, I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: don't care who you are, is gonna it's the rare
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: person that's as at that age, at that stage in
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: their life and their career is going to say, well,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna prove them wrong, right right, don't believe that's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the rare person.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: And do you think it's also because she just got
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: rejected by the rest of the family, and then Mitch,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: you know, tries to make up for it, and then
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: there's a new rejection from him as well.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: So you can't ask for a worse scenario for Rory.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, talk about just getting manipulated and abused and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: then abused again and manipulated and then the then the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: knockout punch. I mean, it's like man almost almost a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: criminal act. Can't really file charges against somebody for something
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: like that. But I mean, uh, I just think if
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: somebody did that to my kid, they'd be hearing from me.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: They'd be hearing from me anyway. That's how I feel.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: About it, Okay, Yeah, And then the second question will
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: apply to kind of the end of the season. How
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: do you think Laurla would have reacted to Luke's quest
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: to purchase the Twicklam House, especially now we know what
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: that last sentence she says in the end of the season.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I don't quite get where It's almost like the writers
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: have a problem with this idea of Luke and Laurela
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: having children. I think, are they trying to make it so?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: In my mind is are they trying to make some
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: kind of a statement that it's okay not to have kids,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and you can have a great relationship in aver and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you can, I mean, but for Luke and for you know,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: this kind of idealistic love that they this romantic love,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: this this fantasy love that he has or they have
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: or they're supposed to have, aspirational love, aspirational relationship. He's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: been waiting so long and then it then it works
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: out in his favor when it's so many times it
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't work out for guys like that, right, they just
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: suffer and silence their whole lives, and they end up
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: with bad backs and they're sixty or sixty or seventy
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and they're like, I don't they talk about They sit
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: at bars and they talk about the one that got
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: away and how beautiful she was, and she may want
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to marry this guy, you know, but it worked out
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: for him and now he wants to have children. So
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and I know that they don't. I haven't seen season
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: six or seven, and I haven't seen three of the episodes,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: but I know that they do not, and I just
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: think it's a failure of the imagination and I and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't even think it was the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: obvious next step for them, and that it could have
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: been fraught with you know, a lot of obstacles and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of controversy and a lot of tension and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of love. And I just think you gotta
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: just inject it with not necessarily what the fans want.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But it's hard watching a character struggle for that long,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: for such an important occurrence in somebody's life is getting
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: into a relationship some of they truly truly love and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: wanting to express that having children. I mean, I just
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: think it's very sad and it's a way for us
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to really, you know, empathize with Luke, right, I mean,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: give the guy what he wants for us.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: So had he told, say, he was able to purchase
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: the house, and he brought that up to her, what
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: do you think her reaction would be Because we saw
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: her initial reaction to the pregnant he scare. You know,
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: we don't know if she would would have wanted more
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: children and she and she didn't necessarily know that that
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: was what he wanted. And I know you did. You
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: did argue that it was very obvious and it slipped
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: right right, it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Did slip out. What about the kids? Oh god, it
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: came out. I think what they're trying to say, the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: people that run the show. I think what they're trying
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to say is it's okay to have a relationship, it's
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: okay to be in love, it's okay not that kids.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: She already has a kid. He already has a kid.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know it yet, you know, he doesn't know
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he has a kid yet. I mean, I know she's common,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: but I think they're maybe trying to make some kind
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: of a statement.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I have one more question. If you could
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: choose one character to get more of a character arc
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: throughout the series, who would you choose to have that done?
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: So many characters, that a lot of potential.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Such a good question, that's a really great question. Oh,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, take your pick. I would have loved to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: have seen more and miss h more of Bebett because
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Sally is just such a brilliant actress. She's so good,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: she's she's so good that it's weird how good she is.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I think Michelle is a dish best served as an appetizer.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I think they tried to do that with him with
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the Winnebago stuff, and it just didn't work. And maybe
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: it was just because that was ill conceived, But I
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: just I really do think he's a He's a side dish,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and he needs to stay a side dish. I think
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Kirk is is used quite properly. We don't need to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: see more of it. I think. I don't know. I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: kind of on the fence about Taylor. I think he's
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: good as where he is. I think I think I
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: think it comes back to buy Bett. What do you think?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: If who do you what character would you like to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: see more developed? Actually, Luke too, I wish they'd developed
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Luke Moore.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Luke had a lot more opportunity. I mean, they
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: could have shown him outside the diner more. I know
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: that was kind of the central space of Stars Hollow, but.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Showing they developed they developed Lane better than they developed Luke.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: They developed a lot of people better than they developed Luke.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: But I guess they wanted him to retain some kind
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of mystery. I don't know. Who do you think?
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of agree with you with Luke, and
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: that does that kind of gets at the fourth question
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I had that it was gonna be if you could,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: if you could have written how the show closes on
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Luke and Lorelei's relationship. How would you have written it? Obviously,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: I know you wanted to see them get a true
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: wedding and having kids. Would you wanted to see them
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: you know, like Laurel I has currently at the end
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: of season five, she has these opportunities to grow the business.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Luke had the franchise opportunities for a little bit there.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I believe in happy endings. I do not believe in this. Well,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that's reality and we needed depict it. Clearly they had
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: taken license with reality and in a very positive way.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I'll never understand why they didn't take that opportunity to
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: give the fans what they wanted. Ever, I'll never understand it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree with that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: A massive missed opportunity to really, you know, hit it
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: out of the park with this show. I mean, that
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: would have been I mean, you think the popular the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: show continues to be popular for many different reasons. I
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: think it could have been exponentially more popular had they
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: done the episodes, or at least the end of season
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: seven as a massive wedding, massive the entire town involved
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: with the episodes. You know, do three and a half
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: of the episodes out of the four the wedding, before
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the wedding itself, and then after, So this would have
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: really tied anice bow around it because I don't I
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: don't know that we're going to do it again. I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: don't know that the band is going to get back
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: together again. I don't know if the will is there.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the schedules gonna jibe. I'm on
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: a news series. I'm busy, you know, and everybody else's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: too so and everybody's getting old. Man. I don't know
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: if would work again. But uh yeah, just you know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: you gotta scratch your head. Gotta scratch your head. It's
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: all you can do.
• 25:17

• 25:20

  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: So what are you getting your degree in.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: I'm getting a master's in Arts administration. Okay, yeah, I'm
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: an undergraduate was in music.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: So oh you're a musician. Fantastic. All right, Well, so
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: it's I dabble, I do dabble. But so what do
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you have for us, you guys? Some questions?
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am interested.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Earlier in the season five podcast, you discussed how you
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: were kind of unsure if you would liked the direction
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: that this show is heading since the end of season
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: four into the beginning of season five was a huge
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: turning point for a lot of characters. So after watching
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: all of season five and breaking it all down, has
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: your mind changed, and how do you feel about it now?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I like anything. I really like the Huntsburger infusion, if
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: you will. I love the story what it did for
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the series. I love how Logan interacts with Rory with
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: his own family. I think that family is just as
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: wacky as it gets. It's fun to see. It's really
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: fun to see crazy people on screen and they're all nuts.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I love it, and that makes for great television. That's
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite. That dinner scene when they were
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: tarn Rory apart, painful to watch, painful for Rory, but
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: boy was that funny. I mean, those people, it's as
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: as fans as watching the show, You're like, Rory, you
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: cannot take these people seriously. They are out of their minds,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: all of them. And you know, you got you got
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: maybe a good one with with Logan because he knows
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he's in a bad situation and he's trying to extricate
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: himself from that wreck of a family, and I just
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I just thought it really kind of saved I don't
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: know that the show. I mean, season four was very strong,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: but this is my favorite season so far. And the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: finale I thought was fablous, fabulous and you know it was.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: It's now beginning to take on a much heavier tone.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: It's taking on some tragic proportions as regards Rory and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: that I've never felt such dramatic weight towards the end
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: of an episode. We've never seen Rory like that. So
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's quite jarring but really compelling television. I think
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: it's really great television.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I totally agree this. It brings a new
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: dramatic color to the show that we've really seen very
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: much before. Right, I think it's interesting.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: But I think, yeah, I think that's what they do best.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's what the Palladinos do best. They give
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: us a really fun ride for thirty five minutes, right,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and in the last five minutes because it's you know,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: let's say fifty five minutes with commercials, and then in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the last five minutes they just wallop you with some
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: really heavy stuff. And I just it's so impactful, isn't it. Yeah, yeah,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: it really resonates. It's like, wow, so yeah, excellent, you laugh,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: you'll cry, you laugh, you cry, you laugh, you cry,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and then boom. Yeah, I know I was tearing up
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: when you know that moment between mother and daughter looking
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: at her unpacker stuff and Richard's poolhouse. I mean that
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: was I mean, you know, if that doesn't make you
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: tear up your battery powered.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Right, that is such a powerful moment.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: That's after you watch it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that stays with you.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: And also I feel like when you're rewatching the show,
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: because I've seen the show a bunch of times rewatching it,
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: it still has that same impact every time you see it,
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: even though you know what's coming.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Right, because they're so dense. These episodes are so dense,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: it's easy to forget every little detail, you know, And
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty of it. They're so dense. They're so
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: packed with humor and quippie lines and yeah, themes and
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: storyline and all this kind of stuff. It's just just
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: beautifully done, beautifully woven. Yeah, I really agree, mm hmm.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: And an offshoot, do you think that the dinner with
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: the Huntsburgers. Of course that impacted Rory and you know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: had a huge emotional impact on her, But do you
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: think that her involvement with the Huntsburgers, her involvement with Logan,
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: is making her act this way and making her steal
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: a boat or do you think that was kind of
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: a natural progression for Rory.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I addressed this in the recap that we just did
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: on season five, and I addressed this with another fan question,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and I'll tell you the same thing. I think when
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: you are young and impressionable and very positive and all
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you want to do is please the boss and then
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: that very powerful influential figure in your field drops the
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: bomb on you like that, I don't care how tough
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you are or who you are, that's gonna that's gonna
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: wreck you at Rector. And I thought it was. It
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: made me hate that character Mitchen Hunsberger, even though I
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: love to watch him. He's such a he's such Greg
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Henry is such a great actor, and he was doing
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: his job. That's his job. He's supposed to be hated
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: and he man, do you hate him? You understand him though.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: That's why he's such a great actor. You understand why
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: he's like that because I believe him when he says
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that to Rory. I believe that he thinks that he knows.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's right, but I believe him
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: that he he believes himself that he knows that she's
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: not gonna make it in the business. She's not tough enough,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: she's not obsessed enough. She's not she doesn't grind hard enough.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: She doesn't take the opportunity to the questions in the
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: meeting when she should have. She should have taken the initiative.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And you know what, there's plenty of examples that of
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: people that I have known that have come up through
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: you know, the secretarial ranks, or were started in the
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: mailroom and their boss went on vacation. They jumped on
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: their desk while they weren't supposed to, and they could
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: have gotten fired for it, and they started making deals
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they became a power agent
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: or whatever it was, you know what I mean, that's
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: kind of what it takes. Yeah, and he's not wrong,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But tell somebody in that position whose life is going
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: so well. Yale Daily News. She's writing great stuff, she's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: smart as a whip. She's going to figure out to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: lower the boom like that. Yeah, I don't care who
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you are, you're gonna get waylaid. You're gonna get devastated
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: by that. That is a Muhammad Ali knockout combination blow.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: And you ain't getting up from that for a while. Yeah,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and she needs time. And then I think Richard and
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Emily are right. She needs time to recover from that
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: those blows because it wasn't just one. It was a
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: combination that knocked her out because he set her up,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: you know, he they tore her down, The family tore
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: her down when he wasn't there, and then he went
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: apologized and gave her that job and set her up,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: giving her all this hope, and then knocked her. He
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: did worse than the damn dinner. I mean, it's wow,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: that's a wicked family.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: The Gilmour's were bad. I know, yes, so yeah, I
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be But it really sets up season six, isn't
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: it beautifully? Oh? It does?
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. See what Richard does, see what
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Emily does? Are they going to go out? The questions
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: in my mind is how hard it's not if they're
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: going to go after mitcham how hard are they going
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to go after him? How they're going to do it?
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Because they're not going to sit back and be quiet
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: about about this. There's going to be a confrontation. I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: have no idea what it is. I'm very eager to
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: watch it, so the writers have done a masterful job.
• 35:09
