  Speaker 1: I Am All In, again, with Scott Patterson and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey, everybody.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Scott Patterson, iAmAllIn Podcast, 111 Productions, iHeartRadio Media, iHeartPodcast.com. We
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: are going to recap episode eight, season five. The party's over,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: air date November 9th, 2004. And I'm joined by the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: incredibly expensive Suzanne French. She's joining me again. Hi, Suzanne.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: How you doing? Hello.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Always great to see you. And let's get into this
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Synopsis, Emily and Richard take Roy's love
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: life into their own hands once they find out she
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: is with Dean. The Danes' family drama is heating up
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: as Liz and TJ are moving to Stars Hollow. And
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Lane finds an unexpected ally at Mrs. Kemp's. Director Eric Lanouville, Lanouville, Lanouville,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and writer Amy Sherm Palladino. Emily finds out Rory is
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: still dating Dean. Uh-oh. What's Emily going to do? I mean,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: if she doesn't like Luke, she really is not going
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to like Dean. Yeah. While she and Lorelei are at
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Friday night dinner getting overfed, she goes over to Richard's
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and they start devising a plan. So they call Roy
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and invite her to the Yale alumni party when she's
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: having lunch with Paris, who hilariously thinks the older professors
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: are hitting on her. Rory's on a date at Dozie's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: with Dean during his lunch break. She asks if he
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: read her story on the Life and Death Brigade and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: he clearly lies because he didn't read it. They plan
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to meet up at 8.30 after the party. Rory arrives
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: at the party and Emily starts dressing her up with
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a hairstyle, jewelry, makeup. She's immediately introduced to a lot
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of sons of their friends, the well-to-do, the royalty of Hartford,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: if you will. Rory realizes what's going on because she's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a Sharpie. Oh, yeah. And calls Lorelai to let her know. Mommy, mommy, mommy,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: there's rich boys everywhere. Get me out of here. Help.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Poor girl. During the party, a guy named Jordan starts
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: talking to Rory, but he quickly gets rejected. When Logan
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: swoops in on a vine, uh, a la Tarzan, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: pretends they are in a relationship. What a guy. What
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a move.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Really not Dave Rogalski level, but trying, right? Yeah. In
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the pool house, Logan tells Rory, he read the article,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: gives specific examples of her writing, which makes her very happy.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: She then realizes the time and heads out to meet Dean. Oh, man.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But she's already had a few drinky-poos. Logan and his
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: crew want to meet him as well, so they follow
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: her out. Boy, that's quite bold of Logan, isn't it? Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Dean is not exactly cool-hand Luke there. Dean is waiting
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in the driveway while Logan and his crew look on.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Look at the poor boy. Let's go look at the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: poor boy. Let's go taunt the poor boy.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: He was a little blindsided there.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: A little bit. While Logan and his crew look on,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: he's upset, realizes he doesn't belong there anymore, breaks up
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: right then and there. Rory doesn't say anything. She's miraculously silent. Yeah. Oh, man.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Lorelei calls Emily and Richard and confronts them about the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: party by bombarding Rory with all the rich boys. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: they seem like they don't care about what Rory wants
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and only want more for her. Rory comes home in
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a limo, drunk. Lorelei looks on through the window. All right, Suzanne,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what a mess these kids have gotten everybody into. Dean
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: breaks up with Rory because he realizes they've grown apart
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in their own separate worlds. And she's standing there in
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: her jewels, in her tiara and her gown. Yes.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Her princess appearance.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Princess-like. And Logan is standing behind her. Do you feel
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: bad at all for Dean, Suzanne?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I did in that moment. because, you know, they've kind
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of converted him to this country boy simpleton who can't
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: even compete with Logan on really any level. And this
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: was a visual reminder of that. So she comes floating
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: out of the house, draped in diamonds and her, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: her gown or whatever, you know, she was wearing and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: followed by all these, you know, young gentleman in suits
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and ties and, and Dean, like I just said, he
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: was completely blindsided by it. And, you know, I'm not
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a fan of this particular iteration of Dean and Rory,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: but I did feel bad for him in that moment
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: because he, it really like drove the point home to
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: him that he, that they just are too different now.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't, she's like in a different world now.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: She's not the stars hollow Rory that she was in
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: high school.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I wish she'd just said, wow,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you look great. Ignore the guys and say, come on,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: get in. Let's go have some fun. Then winked at Logan.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: That would have been good. That actually would have been
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man. I mean, come on.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: The wink would have really been the icing on that cake,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Some fans, I tell you, they find it a relief.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: And it seems like the last few episodes, they're Grasping
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: for something that doesn't exist anymore, those two. Do you
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: agree with that?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I 100% agree with that. They clearly were trying to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: recapture what they had in high school, which you can't
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: really do because they're just growing up and they're in
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: different places in their lives. And the whole.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Really the whole Rory Dean storyline from the beginning of
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: season five is super awkward and cringy and it's uncomfortable
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to watch. And it's absolutely a relief that we don't
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: have to look at that anymore because, you know, we
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: all knew it wasn't going to go anywhere. So yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I think it was a relief to kind of let
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: that storyline go. And now we're going to, you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: move on with more drama in a different direction.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Right. You know, these glaring opposites, the writers show us
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: here between, Logan and Dino. It makes it pretty obvious
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that Rory could be stepping into this world that Lorelai avoided.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Do you think Lorelai is worried in that last scene
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: that while she's looking out the window, she thinks she's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: thinking about that, right?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, totally. She absolutely is looking at herself or what
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: could have been her.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: She might also be looking at herself, you know, right
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: as she and Christopher are, you know, sealing their fate.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I definitely think that she is having kind
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of a flashback, but also, like, just the terror of
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: seeing her child go down that path that she very
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: carefully avoided. Well, maybe not so carefully, but.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: That she successfully avoided. And there was an episode, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I can't remember which one it was. It might have
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: been the one where Rory did the debutante thing. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Lorelai said to her, she made a comment in the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: vein of, when I ran away from that life, I
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: thought you would be running with me.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: And....
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: She just assumed that because she didn't want those things,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Rory wouldn't want them either. And so she took Rory
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: out of that life. Well, now Rory's back in that life,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: getting a taste of it through her grandparents. And I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: think she is like, it is concerning to her that
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Rory seems like she's, you know, starting to enjoy that lifestyle. And,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: you know, that's Rory's choice to make. Just like Emily
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have been trying to make choices for Lorelai. Lorelai
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be making choices for Rory. But I think it
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: is giving her pause for sure that she's concerned that
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: she's going to get sucked into that life that she
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't like.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Is Lorelai displaying that she can be as Emily to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: her daughter as Emily was to her?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I think there's a spectrum. I don't think Lorelai is
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: even near as bad as Emily because Emily is more
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: about punishing Lorelai for not choosing that lifestyle. Yeah. And
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I think that, you know, Lorelai, I mean, we're going
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: to get to the punishment part in a little bit
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: when Rory drops out of Yale and Lorelai stops talking
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to her. But I think that Emily is mean about
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: it I think that's the difference to me is that
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Lorelai isn't as mean as Emily is.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: But all salient points We've got Luke and Liz. We
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: got a Luke and Liz fizz. Let's drink it. Liz
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: is at Luke's and tells Lorelai she and TJ are
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: thinking of moving to Star's Hollow Joy to the world.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, what great news, huh? Even though Luke discourages it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I wonder why. Liz talks up Luke's cooking skills. And
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Lorelai is surprised by his talents. Why is Lorelai surprised
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: by his talents? She's been eating there for years. Luke
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: tells her for their date, he's going to make her
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the best meal of her life, by golly. Going to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: knock the tongue right out of her head. Her taste buds,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: not the tongue. Going to knock her taste buds. I'm
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: so tired. Then later, Liz and TJ return, and TJ
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: announces to everyone that I'm an escrow. I'm an escrow.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: He's super excited. Gotta love TJ.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You just want so much more of him. It's the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: night of the dinner date at Luke's apartment. And these
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: two lovebirds are being cute and couple-y. And then it's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: ruined when TJ storms in, freaking out about a fight
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: he had with Liz. Yeah. TJ is trying to gather himself,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: staying at the apartment in the corner while Luke and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Lorelai continue their dinner date. But then Liz storms in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and starts arguing with TJ. I tell you, these two,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they're really classing up the joint. Luke tells Lorelai to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: head home. He'll deal with his family and sends her
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: home with a cheesecake.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: A whole cheesecake. I liked that part.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh. The entire thing, right?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And he just picks it up with his bare hands
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and puts it in the container.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Just have a cheesecake. Get out of here. I'm going
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to deal with this. All right. Suzanne, TJ's antics. These
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: were hilarious, right? Yeah. He's proudly yelling escrow and trying
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to gather himself during Luke and Lorelei's day, a great
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: comedic actor. And I'm going to tell you, because this
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: is directed at me, did I ever break during these scenes?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to say yes. And I apologize to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Michael DeLuise because he had to do so many extra
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: takes because I just couldn't hold my frame in his presence.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it was just, just so great to be around that,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you know? He's, you know, I was always a big
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: fan of his dad's Dom, the great Dom DeLuise. And,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you know, Michael has that spirit inside him. And it
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: was just, it was really just thrilling to, to work
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: with him because he was just, you know, he it's,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: he's just born with it. Yeah. Right. It's what he's like,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: this prodigy, this comedy prodigy. So, yeah, it was very,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: very difficult keeping a straight face. I'd love to see
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: those bloopers. You know how they always play them now
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: on social media? It's like, throw a couple of those
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in there. Yeah. Maybe they don't want to show us
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: being imperfect or something. I mean, I don't know.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think we need more. I
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: think you and I maybe need to go dig through
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the archives and find some ourselves.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I think we have the opportunity. Let's do that. Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: We'll sneak off during holidays. I mean, Gilmore Girls holiday.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: No one will know this. Right, right, right.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: We'll just get there early one day.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And you know what, Suzanne? Fans think that TJ, and
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: this is a fact. This is actual research that's been
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: done by the new crack staff. They think TJ's the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: most underrated character in this entire series. Do you agree
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: with me?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: You know, that could very well be true. I think
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I love Liz and TJ. Some people think they're a
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: little too much, and that's fine. But I think they
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: are hilarious. Like, they're so over the top and crazy.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: They're just so much fun to watch. And it's just
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: funny to think of people like that just, you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: walking around on the earth with us. But I think
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: TJ is hilarious. And when he's sitting in the corner
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: trying to, like, re-regulate himself, it's just, like, it's great.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: It's so funny. And then, you know, they're yelling about,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you're wearing my shoes. And that whole storyline I thought
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: was hilarious.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I agree, too. I think he's one of the most
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: underrated comedic actors in the whole business, and I don't
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: even think he's in the business anymore.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, maybe, yeah.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think he's even, you know. I'm amazed
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that a talent like that didn't get their own series.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: You know, he's got the last name. He's got the pedigree.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: He's got the talent. He's got the chops. Like, what
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in the world?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got the mojo for sure.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. You know, I think at one point I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: did pitch something to Warner Brothers with, yeah, there we go. Jackie,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: his last IMDb credit was in 2013. That's it. 13
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: years ago. He left the business 13 years ago.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe he's just out there enjoying life. Good for him.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I did pitch something to Warner Bros. with starring
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Michael and I. Hmm. Yeah. Because I thought Michael, Sean, me,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: a couple other characters. I mean, how can you miss?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That could have been really good.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Because they did tell me the first time I did
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it with another idea I had, And it didn't involve
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the whole cast, but it just had the diner and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: a few people. And they said, you know, fans will
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: miss the characters that they don't see in that series.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I just thought with Sean and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: with Michael and, you know, you throw in a Sally Struthers,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you get them. I mean, you know what I mean?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you make it work. But, yeah,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I guess you would miss– Lorelei and Rory and the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: whole thing, but I don't know. Worth a shot anyway.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, there, there could have been ways to
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: do that. I mean, it wouldn't even necessarily have to
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: be like a Gilmore spinoff. It could have been something
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: completely different, but.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: You know what? You're right. You're right. You're right. All right.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to Lane. Well, maybe not in their minds,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: but Lane. Yeah. They're hanging out at dinner. Zach walks in,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: hugs Lane. Kian notices. Now Zach's at the newsstand and Mrs.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Kim approaches him and starts yelling, calling him a pig
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and telling him he will go to hell in inimitable Mrs.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Kim style.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: That was so funny.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Zach comes home and he tells Lane about his wonderful
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: encounter with his delightful mother, with her delightful mother. And
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: she apologizes profusely, she does. So then Lane goes over
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to her mom's to tell Kian off while she tells
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: her about Zach, tells her mother about Zach. And then
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: they start bonding over Mrs. Kim's strict rules and how
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Lane can help her out. Oh, they are, they're getting
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: strategic now.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Lane is the mentor now.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Mrs. Kim goes off on Zach for Dating Lane.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: One of her great lines is, you will burn in
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: hellfire for this. You will swim in the sludge with
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Satan's hell dogs and feed them your innards for eternity.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Let me say that again. Do you want to take
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: a crack at this, Suzanne? Go ahead.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I'll try. You will burn in the hellfire for this.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: You will swim in the sludge with Satan's hell dogs
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and feed them your innards for eternity.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: That was pretty good. You will burn in hellfire. Oh, no, no.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: We can't attempt that. Oh, we could try. You want
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to try? No. You will burn in the hellfire for this.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: You will swim in the sludge with Satan's hell dogs
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and feed them your innards for eternity. What a line.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: What a lie. Do you think Zach deserved that?
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it depends on whose perspective you're looking at.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But no, I mean, Zach is just Zach. He hasn't
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: done anything wrong. You know, obviously Mrs. Kim is going
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: to behave that way with anybody that isn't pre-approved by her.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: So no, I don't think he deserved it. because I
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: don't think he has done anything wrong, but I can,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I can also see where Mrs. Kim is coming from
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: because kind of like when, you know, what we just
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: saw with Lorelai and Rory, this isn't the lifestyle that Mrs.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Kim wants for Lane. And so it's kind of a
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: parallel there, but, but yeah, poor Zach. Talk about Dean
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: being blindsided. This was another example of a blindside. But
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a great scene. Like, I'm just
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: thinking about it, and I'm cracking up even just, like,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: thinking about it. So kudos to Emily Corota for that
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: one because it was brilliant.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: You know, in Rory's defense, she did show up for
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: their date.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: She did?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: She showed up, and she was dressed for her date.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, here's a question. Did she... Oh, Dean. The
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: information that she was... Well, she was kind of tricked
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: into this whole thing anyway, right?
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rory didn't know what the party was going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: be until it had already started.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: But did she even tell Dean that she was having a...
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: There was a little party.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: she did tell him that she was going to be
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: at her grandparents because they made plans to meet at
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: eight 30 afterwards. I can't remember if she said, I, I, she,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I think she did tell him in that scene where
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: they're eating like the spoiled food in the back room.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: She told him that she had this thing at her,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: this party at her grandparents. And it was so important
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: to her because it represented Richard and Emily coming back together,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: even though she knew that they were manipulating her. She
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: wanted to be at that party. So I don't know. I, I,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I think it was kind of naive of Rory. I mean,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I guess if she'd been having a few drinks, maybe
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: she wasn't thinking about it. But it was kind of
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: naive of her to go out there like that and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: think that Dean wasn't going to notice or that he
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: was just going to be okay and she'd just hop
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: in the truck and they'd go off to the movies
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: while she's got all these diamonds all over her.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm looking at the numbers lately, you know, the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: podcast numbers. And what we're seeing is this ever-growing blossoming
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: demographic of teenage boys downloading the episodes and so I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: would like to impart yet again my advice on how
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to handle a situation like this fellas listen you're all
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: young bucks you've barely got whiskers on your chinny chin
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: chins you need to take some advice from somebody that
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: has white hair on his face right there OK, so again,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: not to be redundant here. The only way to handle
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that situation, fellas, because you might find yourself in that
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: situation one day or something very similar. All you do
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: is say, man, you look great. Let's go. And then
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you wink at the guy. That's it. Just do that. Please,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: somebody do that. Thanks, fellas.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And report back to us.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: And let us know how it goes. Do the cool thing.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Always do. Don't break your frame. Don't do it. Don't crumble.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: That Dean boy, he crumbles, doesn't he?
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he was just caught off guard and
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: kind of didn't even know what to say.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: It's okay. But be prepared.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's a good idea. Like always have that in
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: your back pocket.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Be prepared for the unexpected. Don't flinch, man. Just you
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: look great. Let's go have some fun. Thanks, fellas. Have
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a good evening. Wink.
