  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Thanks Scott.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Great having you were very excited, know you watched the pilot,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that you really aren't familiar with the show, because man,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you're insanely busy.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: No, here's the thing, though, it's of course I know
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the show right, like, it's hugely popular, and I remember
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: how popular it was back in the day. But it
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: started in two thousand, right, So I had had my
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: second baby in two thousand and then my third in
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: two thousand and two, so I was in the throes
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of young, young motherhood. I had no time to watch television.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And that's probably the only reason why I wasn't captivated
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and putting in for my TV every single week watching
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And I birthed a show, and I was on set
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: fourteen hours a day and had no time to watch television.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Just busy, Megan. Let's do a little synopsis. Luke struggles
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: with trying to juggle plans for his uncle's funeral and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: his usual shifts at the diner, so Laurel and Rory
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: lend a hand at the restaurant. Meanwhile, new Farmers Market
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: opens across the street from Dosie's Market, sending Taylor into it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Tizzy directed by Jamie Babbitt, written by Daniel Palladino. Let's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: start with the DAR meeting. At the n Emily's hosting
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: her DAR meeting. At the end, She's does the tasting
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of Suki's menu, and Suki tells Emily about her engagement
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to Jackson. Candice, do you think you would get along
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: with Emily in real life?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It'd be a tough one. I've got to admit. I
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: feel very blessed that I have a great mother and
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that I love and mother in law also that I
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: get along with, and then even my kids who are married,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you know, I have a great mother in law through them,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So I don't think i'd have a hard.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Time, right, How do you respond to people like Emily
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: who have these strong, domineering personalities.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I feel like you smile and you gnad a lot,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and you just let them say and whatever they want,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and then once you walk away, you're like, yeah, we're
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: not doing that. I'm not doing that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Uh huh. So you don't see yourself or anyone else
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: in your family in Emily at all.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Gosh, I hope I don't see me in Emily at all.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: That's in the first place, you got to self reflect,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: right exactly. I don't I don't think I'm like her.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I know a few people like her, but not in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: my immediate family. I'm great hard personalities to juggle.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Those, yeah, very much. So all right, let's go to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the funeral. Yeah, let's go to the funeral. Uncle Loui's funeral.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Luke asked Laurali for nine rooms at the end for
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: his family to stay for his uncle Louis funeral. He's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: over his head, obviously planning the funeral. Laurali and Roy
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: offered to cover for Luke at the diner so he
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: can get some things done. Rory's frustrated that Jess isn't
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: offering to help out, which I found this particular storyline
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: with Rory man handling Jess particularly charming. Kennie, when your
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: life gets overwhelming, are you someone to ask for help
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and try to handle it all yourself?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I asked for help. I think I've become good at delegating.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: But it happened as I got older, and then you
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: realize how great delegating is. Like, I don't have to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: do everything, but but if you're a control freak or
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: a perfectionist, it's hard to ask for help.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what are you? I think? I think it's the same.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I think I used to be a control freak. Younger
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: got older. Delegate, Delegate, delegate, I think it's always you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that's the great lesson. One of the great lessons in
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: life is like, if you're going to attempt to be
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a CEO or an entrepreneur or a leader, you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: hire really confident people and just let them do their
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: thing exactly and don't look over his shoulder, don't do it,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and they will often come back with a result better
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: than you anticipated. I agree, you gotta let people do
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: their thing. Man. I think you and I have both
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: been in situations, maybe on set where there was a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: showrunner who was a little overbearing, maybe and it was like,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a long year, all right,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: new farmers market. Taylor is furious. So this was this
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was good stuff. This was really funny stuff. Taylor's furious
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: over the new farmer's market across the street from a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: story feels stabbed at the back, but by all this
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: regulars shopping at this market. Have you ever witnessed a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: local drama? Canis over a business competition?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I feel like I have on curve your enthusiasm. Not
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think in real life, I don't know
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that I have that was as dramatic. But I now
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: live in a smaller town. I used to live in La.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I've lived in La my whole life. But I'm now
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: in a smaller town, and now I see it like
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: everyone knows your business and you know everyone, and there's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: such perks to it. But now, as I watched the episode,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I could totally see this happening now
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: in a small town, a little competitive, and you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: everyone has their place within the town, and then when
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that gets disrupted, it's jarring.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: All right, Do you prefer farmer's market at grocery store?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Both? I go to the farmer's market every weekend, but
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you know I should. We shop every day, so I'm
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: always at the as you start every day every day
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: every day. We like fresh food, Like you open our
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: fridge and there's not much in it because I'm like,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: what do I want to eat today?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Right? Right? Since you're entrepreneurial, what are some of your
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: favorite small businesses that.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I'm a part of or just in general?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, talk about yours? Yes?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Oh? Oh, I mean, well, I don't know, it's all
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I write books and I what else do I have?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I like any like a lot of women. I talk
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: about hair care and skincare, but a part of businesses
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in that way. And but what what kind of small businesses?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I love? You know, I genuinely, being an entrepreneur, love
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: sty because that's where everyone gets to make what they're
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: passionate about, they sell it. It is a small business.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I love supporting small businesses in that way. So I
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: think that's cool and it's in my not bringing it
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: back to me. But in this mystery series that I
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: have called The Angels McGregor mysteries, like she's Ainsley is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: this business owner and her store is like an Etsy shop. It's,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you know, a farmer's markets in a sense in that
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: it's all the local people and they do different kinds
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: of crafts. But she has a store that then tells
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: them all mm hmm.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, We're going to jump to Suki's wedding
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: planning here.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It was so funny, so cute.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So she's with Emily having meetings. At the end of
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: plan Suki's wedding, Laura is annoyed with her mother's involvement
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: in the wedding plans, probably knowing that the price tag
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is going to go way beyond, but Suki can deal
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: with and she warns Suki for entering Emily Land. You know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it's like it's a scary place. Jackson expresses his concerns
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to Lauralai about Suki's new extravagant and expensive wedding plans.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Laurala confront Suki and tells her this wedding isn't really her,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: is it. Suki comes to her senses and calls to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: cancel all those crazy plans. What was the wedding planning like?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: For you canvas? Do you remember?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: It was almost thirty years ago. I barely remember it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: But my son got married last year, and so let
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: me tell you, weddings are so stinking expensive. It's ridiculous.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I know everything's expensive these days, but compared to thirty
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: years ago, even it's like, you know, you want all
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the a lot of few, you want all the things,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: and even keeping it simple like Suki wanted. I'm like,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know how you do that unless
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: it's like a backyard barbecue. But then it's the backyard barbecue.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: It's not a wedding.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Did your did your mother plan your wedding.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: No, I planned my wedding.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: You planned the wedding. Well, what was the most extravagant
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: thing that you had not the wedding.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think I had. I think extravagant was that
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: we had a like a quartet at the ceremony that
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: was playing live and we walked down the aisle. I
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: think that was most extravagant.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned your son lev recently got married. What
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: was your involvement in, like, in planning that wedding? Was
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it stressful?
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Very different being the mother of the groom versus the
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: mother of the bride. So no, there was not a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: lot of stress. I was begging to be a part
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: of it more and more. I was like, please, let
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: me just lick the envelopes, let me lick the stamps.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I'll do anything. I just want to be a part
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of it. But it was great, beautiful wedding.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Right. So, when it comes to planning a big event,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: would you want Emily in your corner or would she
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: drive you crazy?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: She would drive me crazy. However, if I had all
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the money in the world like Emily, I want her
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: on my team. I want her on my side.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You know what, Yeah, she'd get it done. Yeah, that's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: what she'd be good at, right, exactly, All right, we're
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: going to town hall meeting. You ready, Let's go to town
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: hall meeting. Taylor demands a farmer's market to be shot
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: down because the permit for the business is not valid.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: After the meeting, Luke chases down Taylor another World War
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: II re enactors and ask them if they will be
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: attending Louie's funeral. The men tell Luke they don't want
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to go to the funeral because they all hated Louie. Luke,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: it's angry with the men for not showing their respects.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Taylor calls him a defensive hothead, just like Louie. Do
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you feel sorry for Luke? I did doing the right thing.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: No one seems to care.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I know. I felt so bad for Luke in this
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: because how awful is it to know that you have
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a family member and nobody's really told you that they
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: all secretly hate that person and don't even want to
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: show up at funeral. It was really sad, and I
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: felt for him, and yet very much understood his need
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to want to honor his dad's wishes. So I thought
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: he made the right choice in honoring them.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I thought I was shocked to see Kirk standing with
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: those guys and saying, yeah he was at jerk, we're
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: not coming to your feet. It's a little weird.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: It was a little harsh, it really was.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But I mean, if you want to Luke rant,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you got to do these things. I guess you know
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a rant anyway, Kennis, how do
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you teach your kids to do the right thing even
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: when it's hard.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's the fear of there, that's the fear of God.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: You know, it really is. It's kind of like, look,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you can you can make bad decisions, you can lie
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: to people, but at the end of the day, you
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you're you might you might not see him right now
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: on earth, but you have someone to stand before and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you're going to give an account to that. So it's
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: you know, and it's not to guilt someone, but yeah,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I'm a woman of faith. It's reality and so that's
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: what I'm like, Yeah, just because someone else doesn't see
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: a God season, So just think about that when you're
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: making those choices.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: There you go Loui's casket. Luke calls Laurela I when
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: he can't close Louie's caskeap because all the things keep
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: he insisted getting buried with him. Luke says, I can't
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: deal with this anymore. It's not as if he deserves
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: my help or my respect. He was a jerk, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: he starts out, now, Luke's being a jerk. Really amazing
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that they would make attempt to make this comedic. Do
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you think they pulled it off?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: They kind of did, right, Yeah, I mean I didn't.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't. Yeah, it didn't bump me at all in
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that way. However, I wanted Luke to grab all of
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: those baseball cards and go sell them at the post shot.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, go put it into your restaurant or
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: put it into one. We're like, why you can give
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: him three quarters of the stuff. Just take the baseball
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: cards and go make some money off.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Ohlu Garrett a rookie card. I mean that's worth millions.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: He was describing millions of dollars with the rookie cards.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: That was my hope for Luke.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you gotta respect the wishes of the dead, right,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: all right. So it takes some time to cool down,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and he finally finds a cast to get to fit
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Louis and all the stuff, and he says he did
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: it for his dad. So that's very nice. All right.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So of course who does he call for help? Laura
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: l I right, She's always there, and vice versa. Who's
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: someone you would call to calm you down? Or are
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you someone who would call them to calm down?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Oh? Both. I'm a really rational person, so I can
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: calm people down. However, yeah, I'm gonna call I mean,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: my husband, he's he's gonna calm me down in two seconds.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: And then I have a couple of really good girlfriends
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: that will listen. I can rant. They will give you,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: they will calm me down. They won't feed into it.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: You know, they're just like take a deep breath. And
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you need those friends, you know.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I had a friend from Sacramento once teach me how
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to calm people down. And all you have to do
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: is speak to them like this, tell me what happened.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Just tell me what happened. Do it in this voice.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Word just whisper really.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it lowers their heart rates, it gets the focus,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it calms them down. Isn't that wild?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: That is wild?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: What a technique.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: That's great advice. It's not bad I'm going to do
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: that the next time my daughter calls me and she's
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: crying because something happened.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: You know, right right to try it, I mean, you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and the wrong if the wrong people over here. It
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: can be a little creepy, but but it's like it's effective.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Every time I've done it, it's worked, all right. Of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: course Louis wanted all stuff buried. This is a bit
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of a morbid question, but I'm going to ask, what
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: do you want to be buried with?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I do not care. I'll be dead. I don't care. Honestly,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I don't even want to be buried, so I just
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: want to be cremated. I'm like, just really, Yeah, let
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: me sprinkle me wherever wherever, Like I'm not here anymore.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Have you thought about it? It is?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think about it. I don't think
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: about it at all. No, I'm gonna live forever. Luke
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't think Louie deserves this respect, but he does it
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: for his dad. Have you ever done something out of
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: love for someone even if the person didn't deserve it
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: all the time?
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Are you if you don't do things because it's the
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: right thing to do, even when they don't deserve it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's what marriage is.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Right, right, exactly every day? Every day, laurel I and Emily,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: we're going to get into this now. So Emily comes
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to Laurel I after she gets fired as Suki's wedding
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: planning planner. Lorela I tells Emily she wasn't planning Suki's wedding,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: she was planning hers. The psychologist comes out, Emily teeses
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Laurel I about marrying Luke. Lot going on here, right?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: The subtext was heavy, It's just so laden.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Emily says, obvious, Laurrelai. You're with him constantly, You bring
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: his name up constantly. The moment he calls you run
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to his side. All right. So Emily refers to Luke
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and laurel as a match made in heaven. She ain't wrong,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: But based on what you've seen with the Gilmore girl
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: so far in this episode, do you agree, Candice?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm rooting for you guys. Okay, I'm rooting
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: for Luke and Laurelai at this point. I'm definitely rooting Okay,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: good good.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So, as a mom of adult kids, you can relate
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to Emily wanting to be involved in her child's big
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: life moments right totally.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I have also learned that if you don't lead their lives,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: they lead their lives. So you got to give some suggestions,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: you can share your opinion, but then you got to
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: back off and let it make whatever choice they want
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: to and you support it because you want to stay
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: in their life.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Right Right as they've grown up, did you come to
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a realization that you know, they're wired that way, that's
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: what they you know, no matter what I did as
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a mother and what we did as parents, this is
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: who they are. This is what they are. This is
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: so that that hit you.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. The in the womb o joke. They
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: were all different in the womb with like feisty fighter,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: you know, and then it's like one of them was
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: so chill, so easy.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And they're all like that from little kids. And you
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: do realize because I have three kids, three children in
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: their twenties, and we're all very close. But man, sometimes
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like, we're we're I'll say to one like, were
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: you not raised in the same home as us? Because
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: they're just wired differently. They have three distinct personalities no
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: matter what we do, but it's it's then fun to
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: figure it out, figure it out how you best connect
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: with them, support them, encourage them, all of that. But
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: it's different, right, right.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Right, all right, we're coming to the closing scene. Look
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and Laurai are the only ones to attend Louise's services.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: That was sad, sad. I felt that for Louis. I'm like,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: you know, he was not the greatest guy, and it
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: showed for at the end of his life.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Did you get a lump when then actor showed up
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit?
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Did you get a little choked a little baby choked up?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that actually made me happy. I
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: was like, I didn't see that coming. I thought it
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: was just going to be that's very just the two
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: of two of you, you know, Loral.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And and so.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I was so happy when they came. But then you know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: it was a little silly and it made me giggle.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And Kirk steals the show with the horrible bugling some
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of the best community. If that if they had a
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: category in the Enemy's like best comedic bugling.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: He'd win.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: It was really good and I love the line when
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: you were like he would have hated this and Laurel
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, but isn't that like like it
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: was a good thing you kind you kind of stuck
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: it to him at the end.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Right now during Luke points to Louis says to laurealoid
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: if that ain't me, isn't alone and never being married?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: What what a moment huh reflection?
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Like is this it? Are we going to get? Are we?
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Are we getting someplace with these two right now at
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: this moment in life? Don't be alone. I'll be with
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you for the rest of your life.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: They you know that they're building this bridge one time
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: they build they used to build.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Bridges with bricks, steel plate to the time.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So Lurla tells Luke that he is not Louie
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and reminds me of all the things he's done for
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: loyalle Ry and his sister. So I guess it's their
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: version of of of sort of pre dating the World
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: War two re enactors make an appearance to perform a
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: final time for Louis. Back in the diner, there's a
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: wake for Louis, but nobody admits to organizing it. Rory
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: founds out that Jess played a part in organizing the wake.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: And teases about finally being a part of the town.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: All right, So, Kenna, since you're a new Gilmore Girls
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: watcher and now you're a super fan, because there you go,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: what do you think each of the characters, who's your
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: favorite to observe?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Oh goodness, present company excluded because obviously obviously it's you.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: But aside from you, I love Suki. She's so funny
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and so cute. Right, and then you know, it is
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: really all about loura I and Rory. So I just
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I love their dynamic. And I will say as an
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: actor being on a television show that had no mother,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: like there was no mom on Full House. I was
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the oldest of three, so it's very different relationships. So
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I love watching that mother daughter relationship on television. And
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: they were best friends. So it was just I loved it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I love it. Well, let's get into a couple of
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: thought starters for you. Your career has been huge, It's
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: been full so many family focus shows. What you think
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that's why audiences feel so connected to the same way
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they do with Gilmore Girls.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're in their living rooms every every
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: week and we feel like family to them. And also
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: it's it's and and these are the stories we hear
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: all the time from fans, is that a lot of
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: people wish they had the type of dynamic that that
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: we had on Full House, That it was this loving
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: just a loving family that made up that figured it out,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: you know, that hugged at the end of every episode,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and very much the same way in Gilmore Girls. You're
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: just watching, You're watching these families grow together and fight together,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: but you watch how they do it because you know
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: that there has to be a good outcome in some way,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: shape or form, And people watching these shows are learning
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: how to do it when it's not modeled for them
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: at home.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Right, Yes, excellent point, right, all right? So the Gilmore
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: is obviously centered around a strong mother daughter relationship and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: it's a mom of a daughter. Why do you think
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that dynamic is so special?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, I don't know how to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: put that in words. I don't know. I think with mother, mother, daughter,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: you're you you always want the best for your children,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: but you're trying to navigate a better life for your child.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: So as a mom to your daughter, you're thinking, like,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: what are all the things that how I was screwed up?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Or that I got wrong. Let I'm going to parent
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: in a way that hopefully you don't experience the same
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: things that I did. And it does. It can It
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: can either be extremely bonding like Laura I and Rory,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: or it can go totally wrong like Emily.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And Laura I right right, and Laura I became the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: mother she never had. Yeah, exactly, And that's powerful if
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you could, if you what should go More Girls? Characters
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: would you want to play? And why?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Oh goodness? Maybe just I mean she was much younger
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: than I am now, but I think I would love
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: to play Laura Live. Yeah, loved it. I auditioned for
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls, I think at the probably one of the
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: last seasons of the show, because I had just come
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: back to acting. I had taken ten years because I
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: was at home raising my kids. I took a ten
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: year break from work. But I remember going in for
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: that audition and I hadn't seen the show. I auditioned
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: and the casting director had said to me, you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: they talk really fast on the show, and I said, okay,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: So she said, can you do it faster? And I
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: said sure, But I didn't. She didn't send me out
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: of the room to prep for five or ten minutes.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I just had to go in there, and let me
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: tell you, I read that script as fast as I
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: possibly could and rattled it off so fast that I
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: don't think I thought about any word that I said,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and it was She just looked at me. She was like, oh, okay,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: thank you, and I walked out of the room and
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I blew that audition. That that was one
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: of the worst auditions I've ever had.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Oh Man. DJ Tanner and Rory Gilmore have been considered
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: counterparts because of their type A, organized and punctual personalities.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Do you agree.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I think Rory is way smarter than DJ Tanner and
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: even more a type DJ was, But I think in
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: a in an just in an older sister kind of way.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: But wasn't that extra level? And I think Rory was
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: extra level smart.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, So if you two were friends, what do you
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: think you'd bond over?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Oh? Probably boys keep it simple. I don't know, maybe right,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: you know, writing in the just all all the intellectual
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff, writing in their college paper or high
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: school newspaper, right.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Right, all right? So both DJ Roy grew up in
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the single parent home. What do you think they learned
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: from that experience.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it matured both of them quickly and
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: it yeah, it tells you how to had a nurture
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: and caretake, and I think they were both pretty good.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: At that, right, Right, So you're on the Great American
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Family Channel. Now you've got the Ainsley McGregor Mysteries franchise.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about these two films.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So there's there's two installments right now. We
• 27:39

• 27:55
  Speaker 2: a criminologist.

  Speaker 1: Criminologist, yees.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: So she teaches criminology at a local universe of Her

  Speaker 2: brother is the sheriff of this town, and then her
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: boyfriend is the fire chief. So and then she owns

  Speaker 2: this shop called Bless Your Arts and that is like
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the sy shop where all the local artisans sell their stuff.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: And there's always a mystery. It's not that someone dies
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: in every single movie, but you know, there's a mystery
