- 0:52Speaker 1: Yeah yeah it's a good one there's so much to
- 0:56Speaker 1: unpack i mean from like The dean of it all
- 1:00Speaker 1: to jest.
- 1:03Speaker 3: There's a lot. Oh, yeah.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:06Speaker 3: I didn't.
- 1:07Speaker 1: By the way, no clown pillow, I would like to
- 1:09Speaker 1: point out. We did get Lorelei's living room, but was
- 1:11Speaker 1: it there?
- 1:12Speaker 2: There was a clown pillow.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Wait, I didn't see it.
- 1:13Speaker 2: It was in the scene.
- 1:15Speaker 3: It wasn't in its regular spot.
- 1:17Speaker 2: It was, but it was laying flat. It was laying horizontally,
- 1:21Speaker 2: and you can see it when Rory leaned over to
- 1:23Speaker 2: kiss Lorelai's cheek.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Oh, that's... When she moved, you could see.
- 1:27Speaker 2: It behind her by the window.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I was waiting for it, the whole scene. I think
- 1:31Speaker 3: by that point, I was like, well, it's not there, so.
- 1:34Speaker 2: I didn't notice it, so I... Because I recorded with
- 1:37Speaker 2: Scott a little while ago, I watched this episode twice. Right,
- 1:42Speaker 2: because Scott and I recorded maybe a week or so ago.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And so I didn't see it That time, but I
- 1:49Speaker 2: saw it when I watched it to record today. So yeah,
- 1:51Speaker 2: it wasn't super obvious because it was just, it was
- 1:53Speaker 2: laying flat. So it didn't make its normal appearance.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like waiting for it because there were
- 1:58Speaker 1: so many angles with it at first in that scene.
- 2:01Speaker 2: I know. I thought in the opening when she was
- 2:04Speaker 2: looking at the door, she's standing at the window. And
- 2:07Speaker 2: I thought for sure we were going to see it.
- 2:09Speaker 3: And then we didn't.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I know, when the opening scene, I thought it was
- 2:12Speaker 1: going to be there. And then we had, because we
- 2:14Speaker 1: had that angle. And then when she's sitting with Rory, I,
- 2:17Speaker 1: but yeah, if it was the second she moved, I
- 2:18Speaker 1: didn't pay attention.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Yeah, it was real quick. And it was only in
- 2:21Speaker 2: the part where she leaned over to kiss Lorelai on
- 2:24Speaker 2: the cheek. And so if you weren't like watching that
- 2:26Speaker 2: exact instant, you wouldn't have seen. Yeah.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Huh. All right.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Well then nevermind.
- 2:29Speaker 1: It was there. Okay.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Where should we start?
- 2:34Speaker 2: Okay. Gosh, I don't know. There was so much that
- 2:37Speaker 2: happened here. I loved the scene. So we had the
- 2:41Speaker 2: cats on the porch in the opening, but I loved
- 2:43Speaker 2: the scene right after that, after that commercial break where
- 2:47Speaker 2: she's sitting on the steps outside the diner and it's
- 2:49Speaker 2: 5 o'clock in the morning and she's already had all
- 2:51Speaker 2: the coffee. That scene was so cute and Luke was
- 2:55Speaker 2: supportive of her, but at the same time, what the
- 2:57Speaker 2: hell are you doing here at 5.
- 2:58Speaker 3: O'clock in the morning? And then Kirk comes.
- 3:01Speaker 2: And then Kirk shows up. It just was I don't know.
- 3:04Speaker 2: It was so good. Like it was Soul Stars Halloween.
- 3:06Speaker 3: It was so good.
- 3:07Speaker 1: And then when he asked her to change tables, I
- 3:09Speaker 1: was like, you have to be kidding me. And then
- 3:11Speaker 1: when she changed tables and he's like, oh, Lang's better here.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Oh my God. It was just, I just love that. Like,
- 3:18Speaker 3: cause it adds the quirk, right?
- 3:20Speaker 1: Like you could have had that whole scene without Kirk
- 3:22Speaker 1: and it would have just been a normal scene. And
- 3:24Speaker 1: then you had Kirk and you're like, but that's what
- 3:26Speaker 1: makes the town.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. That specific little thing.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Because the scene of her just showing up is one thing,
- 3:33Speaker 1: but the element of Kirk is like, no, it's why
- 3:36Speaker 1: we keep coming back.
- 3:37Speaker 2: It's that extra little quirk that just makes it.
- 3:41Speaker 3: For sure.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I'm trying to see what direction we go in here.
- 3:46Speaker 1: There is a lot.
- 3:46Speaker 3: I mean, should we just jump into the wedding?
- 3:47Speaker 1: First of all, Suddenly Luke is in this wedding party
- 3:59Speaker 1: and he's never met this man before.
- 4:01Speaker 3: That's one. Also, what a wild bachelor party.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah.
- 4:07Speaker 2: So I, you know, this was a great episode for Luke, right?
- 4:11Speaker 2: Because we see how much his family really means to him,
- 4:16Speaker 2: even though basically everybody in his life has abandoned him
- 4:19Speaker 2: at some point. He still wants that. family connection like
- 4:26Speaker 2: he still is doing stuff for his sister and he goes.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Also he cares about Jess like yeah I think that
- 4:32Speaker 1: there's some people like who he may not care about
- 4:36Speaker 1: as much but well I take that back he does
- 4:38Speaker 1: care about everyone including Kirk like we saw a couple
- 4:40Speaker 1: episodes ago when he helped him out with the eggs
- 4:42Speaker 1: and stuff but like he loves Jess like he really
- 4:45Speaker 1: does and he wants to see that kid succeed so
- 4:47Speaker 1: like he goes over and like he's probably sad by
- 4:50Speaker 1: like his first of all his living situation good lord
- 4:52Speaker 1: yeah Which, sorry, complete sidebar. His hair was styled so weird.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Yes, it was.
- 5:01Speaker 3: In that scene. It was like this swoop that we've
- 5:04Speaker 3: never seen before.
- 5:04Speaker 1: And I was like, maybe it was just to make
- 5:06Speaker 1: it seem like he's messy.
- 5:07Speaker 3: But it was just an odd... Yeah, I don't know.
- 5:09Speaker 3: We've never seen that. But, I mean, even to jump
- 5:13Speaker 3: and just talk about the relationship, when he sees Jess
- 5:14Speaker 3: on his couch at the end, he's so happy. Yeah.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:19Speaker 2: It was a... I don't know. It was just such
- 5:21Speaker 2: a good... Like, all the things happening for Luke, you know,
- 5:26Speaker 2: because Liz is always a problem for him. Jess has
- 5:28Speaker 2: been a problem and then just, you know, ran away.
- 5:31Speaker 2: He just got out of a bad marriage that shouldn't
- 5:35Speaker 2: have even happened in the first place. You know, his
- 5:38Speaker 2: parents passed on. Like, he just has had all of
- 5:40Speaker 2: these various abandonments during his life. But he still is
- 5:45Speaker 2: pursuing the idea of being a family and, like, wanting
- 5:51Speaker 2: to have his family... And wanting to have them around him.
- 5:54Speaker 2: And so I don't know, it was just as it
- 5:57Speaker 2: was just a sweet episode.
- 5:58Speaker 1: It really flowed with the divorce into this.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And especially when he's doing these self help tapes,
- 6:06Speaker 2: which seem like they're super out of character for him. Yeah,
- 6:09Speaker 2: it just kind of underlies the whole thing that like,
- 6:12Speaker 2: you know, he wants to be happy and he wants
- 6:14Speaker 2: to have happy people in his life and be happy
- 6:17Speaker 2: in his relationships. And then when he has that realization
- 6:21Speaker 2: when he's washing the dishes and, like, you know, that.
- 6:24Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just, I just love this episode.
- 6:26Speaker 2: I can't even.
- 6:27Speaker 3: It was great.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Especially a great Luke episode. And also, I was thinking that, like,
- 6:30Speaker 1: Luke was ahead of his time with audiobooks.
- 6:33Speaker 2: That, you know, that could be true. I'm trying to think.
- 6:38Speaker 3: He could have read a book on self-help.
- 6:41Speaker 2: He could have. I mean, I remember books on tape
- 6:44Speaker 2: that were literal tapes.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I know.
- 6:47Speaker 3: I know that. But, like.
- 6:49Speaker 1: In the sense of like were self-helps more on actual tapes?
- 6:54Speaker 1: Because I feel like that's a thing from the early
- 6:56Speaker 1: 2000s where it was like self-help books or whatever were
- 6:59Speaker 1: all audiobooks. They wouldn't be like, oh, you're listening to
- 7:02Speaker 1: like an audiobook. I feel like it was all self-help.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Was that like an actual thing?
- 7:06Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I don't remember.
- 7:08Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm not a listening person. I'm a
- 7:12Speaker 2: watching person. So I like reading. I don't like audiobooks.
- 7:16Speaker 2: So I haven't like paid that much attention. So I
- 7:19Speaker 2: don't know.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Wait, real quick. I remember Jackie, our producer asked us
- 7:22Speaker 3: last week.
- 7:25Speaker 1: About if we looked up who voiced the audio book
- 7:29Speaker 1: and I did not.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Do you know who it was?
- 7:31Speaker 2: No, I totally forgot to look.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Jackie, I think you need to jump on. The reveal.
- 7:36Speaker 3: It is Daniel Palladino.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Is it really?
- 7:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:42Speaker 2: No idea.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:43Speaker 2: I meant to look that up after we talked about it.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely forgot.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it's on Reddit. It's on other things.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Wait, that's awesome. That's cool. I kind of like that.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I don't know. I just thought Luke is a more
- 7:59Speaker 1: stable guy than we think. He may be angry, but
- 8:03Speaker 1: he's the most stable person in that town.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Yeah, he really is. He doesn't have any aspirations to
- 8:09Speaker 2: go out and do anything else. He wants to be
- 8:12Speaker 2: in Stars Hollow. um you know with the the people
- 8:17Speaker 2: that he views as family.
- 8:18Speaker 1: So yeah i wasn't even in the beginning where he
- 8:21Speaker 1: talks about like not being stressed or something in work
- 8:24Speaker 1: was that this episode.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Uh yes yeah that was when lorelei was in the
- 8:29Speaker 2: diner and she was asking him like isn't it stressful
- 8:33Speaker 2: to run a business and he's like well right now
- 8:35Speaker 2: it is a little bit yeah oh yeah that was
- 8:38Speaker 2: in that scene in the early morning.
- 8:40Speaker 3: But like he never acts stress like he had it
- 8:42Speaker 3: all together Right.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's the most dealable person in Sarasalo, we
- 8:47Speaker 3: just realized.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Yeah, which is weird when you think about it.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Well, I guess we'll just continue on the Jess part.
- 9:04Speaker 1: I like that he finally said he saw Rory.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a big moment for him to come
- 9:11Speaker 2: clean to Luke about the whole thing because usually Jess
- 9:13Speaker 2: is so stoic and reserved and he doesn't show any vulnerability.
- 9:18Speaker 2: So that was a lot for.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Him to talk about. Wait, real quick. Where is his
- 9:21Speaker 3: apartment that he's living in?
- 9:24Speaker 2: I assume New York City.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I thought, but I didn't know. Because
- 9:29Speaker 3: he said.
- 9:29Speaker 2: He was a messenger, so that's like a New York
- 9:31Speaker 2: City thing. Like a bike messenger probably.
- 9:33Speaker 1: He literally lived in like a shoebox. God, that apartment
- 9:36Speaker 1: stressed me the hell out. Yeah.
- 9:39Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, my God. Mattress on the floor,
- 9:42Speaker 3: just stuff everywhere.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Right. Anyway, I mean, we're about to get... Is the wedding... No,
- 9:48Speaker 1: the wedding's the finale of this season.
- 9:51Speaker 2: No, the wedding is the next episode because the finale
- 9:54Speaker 2: is the Dragonfly opening.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Oh, you're right, you're right, you're right. Yeah. See, I'm
- 9:57Speaker 3: telling you, all these last couple just... just intertwine.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I know.
- 10:01Speaker 1: It could have been like a two-hour movie.
- 10:03Speaker 2: I know.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:06Speaker 2: It's hard to stop watching.
- 10:08Speaker 3: You know, this one I really was like, don't keep going.
- 10:11Speaker 1: I know. The last one we watched back-to-back, but this
- 10:14Speaker 1: one I was like, just just stop here and watch
- 10:16Speaker 1: it i have to save it until next week right.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Exactly i know it was i wanted to just like
- 10:21Speaker 2: let it run into like last last week what's it
- 10:26Speaker 2: called last week fights this week tights or something yeah
- 10:30Speaker 2: so i had it was hard to not just let
- 10:32Speaker 2: it keep running.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Yeah um okay what else uh the asher fly should
- 10:38Speaker 1: we go should we stick to the jess luke family
- 10:41Speaker 1: or should we go to asher fleming we.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Can go to asher i guess i.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Don't really know the way um i just cannot with
- 10:49Speaker 1: this whole storyline i just want it to be over
- 10:52Speaker 1: but then even more annoying when like the granddaughter shows
- 10:55Speaker 1: up and then rory like makes that comment like what did.
- 10:58Speaker 3: She say like she.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Called her girlfriend what was the line she like said
- 11:03Speaker 1: like your next girlfriend or like something.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Like that or like like that yeah.
- 11:08Speaker 1: And then she completely just ran away. But also the
- 11:11Speaker 1: granddaughter is like probably the same exact age as Paris.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Yes.
- 11:15Speaker 3: If that wasn't eye-opening for Paris, I don't know what is.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know. Paris and this relationship.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Also, could no one else come to the hospital for him?
- 11:26Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know what.
- 11:29Speaker 3: No one else in that family came.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Like, I don't know where they're physically located. But even
- 11:34Speaker 2: Paris said, like, he's got two adult children. Like, where
- 11:37Speaker 2: are they? Um, and then a random granddaughter shows up. Yeah.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Like no one else. He doesn't have any living family.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I don't know. Or maybe they're in England. Who knows? Maybe.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:50Speaker 3: But like, I don't know. I was like, really? Parents
- 11:53Speaker 3: are the ones taking care of him. And also the
- 11:54Speaker 3: granddaughter didn't think anything was weird. seeing Paris with him?
- 11:58Speaker 2: She acted so normal. Yeah, that's exactly what Scott and
- 12:02Speaker 2: I talked about. It didn't seem strange to her that
- 12:06Speaker 2: he's there with two 19-year-olds.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Then she has to know that this is common.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Yeah, she kind of had that look on her face
- 12:13Speaker 2: because she wasn't surprised by it at all.
- 12:16Speaker 3: No.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Actually, I would have preferred if it became a whole thing. Actually,
- 12:21Speaker 1: it would be kind of interesting if she's like, who
- 12:23Speaker 1: in the world is this?
- 12:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Yeah. Just one of your students you're hooking up with.
- 12:29Speaker 1: If it was like a bomb drop right there, it
- 12:31Speaker 1: would have been great.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Right.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:32Speaker 2: We definitely could have used some more drama there, I think.
- 12:35Speaker 3: It was just an annoying scene.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Just cringe. Yeah, exactly.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Yeah, it should have been like a whole brawl with
- 12:44Speaker 1: the granddaughter in Paris.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Or, you know, somebody, like, finds out that Paris and
- 12:50Speaker 2: Asher are dating and reports it to the university.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Like, what if, like, a co-worker came, like,
- 12:56Speaker 1: one of the people in the administrative office and then
- 12:59Speaker 1: was like, this can't happen. Yeah.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Or if Doyle figured it out, because Doyle has already
- 13:05Speaker 2: identified that Asher does this repeatedly. Oh my god, you're right.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Why did I completely forget that Doyle's even part of
- 13:10Speaker 1: this storyline already?
- 13:11Speaker 2: Yeah, he could have figured that out. Anyways, we're just
- 13:15Speaker 2: here rewriting.
- 13:15Speaker 3: He could have reported it in the newspaper. Oh, yeah.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:23Speaker 2: That might look bad because Paris works for the paper,
- 13:26Speaker 2: so maybe that would look bad on the paper.
- 13:28Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 13:29Speaker 2: He might have wanted to avoid that controversy.
- 13:31Speaker 1: What if the town paper, not the school paper, but
- 13:35Speaker 1: the town found out?
- 13:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Really just blow it up. Anyway, I feel like that's
- 13:42Speaker 1: all we have to say about that.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't need to talk about Asher anymore.
- 13:54Speaker 3: And then Dean and Lindsay.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Yeah. We both just took a breath. She doesn't know
- 14:03Speaker 1: what she wants. Do you want your future husband to
- 14:07Speaker 1: be working and making money? Or do you want him
- 14:09Speaker 1: to be hanging out with you all day?
- 14:10Speaker 3: Take your pick.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Right.
- 14:12Speaker 2: She's still very immature. She's still very much high school-y.
- 14:20Speaker 2: To me, like she doesn't understand that you can't go
- 14:24Speaker 2: hang out with your friends if you're at work and
- 14:27Speaker 2: you can't have the things you want if you don't
- 14:30Speaker 2: work and earn money to get them. Like she still
- 14:32Speaker 2: thinks like somebody's going to buy this for her, you know,
- 14:36Speaker 2: without her having to make any kind of a sacrifice.
- 14:39Speaker 2: And yeah, so she definitely, you know, I felt I
- 14:43Speaker 2: did kind of feel bad for Dean. He's like, you know,
- 14:45Speaker 2: I'm working like crazy trying to buy you these things. Like,
- 14:48Speaker 2: why are you mad at me? Because I'm not going
- 14:50Speaker 2: out with your friends. Like, she was being very immature
- 14:54Speaker 2: about it.
- 14:54Speaker 3: So mature.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I feel really bad for Dean here. Because this man
- 14:57Speaker 1: is working all hours of the day while she literally
- 14:59Speaker 1: sits at home. And then she's apparently just, what was she, bored?
- 15:03Speaker 2: Yeah. She's like, you never call. I just sit at
- 15:06Speaker 2: home bored. Like, okay, well, you could go get a job, too.
- 15:08Speaker 2: And then you could, you know, afford these things more quickly. But, yeah. So,
- 15:14Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they're... They're intentionally like villainizing her
- 15:20Speaker 2: so that we understand why Dean is turning away from her.
- 15:24Speaker 3: But it's not fair to the actress. It's not fair. Well, sorry,
- 15:28Speaker 3: the character.
- 15:29Speaker 1: It's not fair to the character because like we're just
- 15:32Speaker 1: being told we should hate her when like the reasons
- 15:35Speaker 1: are stupid. Like there is no real reason for me
- 15:38Speaker 1: to dislike her except she's just being dumb.
- 15:42Speaker 2: She hasn't done anything wrong. I mean, she's kind of
- 15:44Speaker 2: a victim in the whole thing herself as we find out.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Oh, well, a hundred percent. I wish it was like
- 15:50Speaker 3: a real fight, right?
- 15:51Speaker 1: Like it just was a stupid fight. It was like,
- 15:54Speaker 1: I'm bored at home and you're working it. But then
- 15:57Speaker 1: in the same breath, she's like, but you need to
- 15:59Speaker 1: be working all day.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Like, right.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Like make up your mind. I wish it was like
- 16:03Speaker 3: a real fight.
- 16:04Speaker 1: It's just a stupid fight that would have like resolved
- 16:06Speaker 1: within like five minutes with like a normal human.
- 16:09Speaker 2: But that's again that's the kind of fights that teenagers get.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Into you know what maybe you have a point saying
- 16:16Speaker 1: the immature part be like she's still acting like a
- 16:18Speaker 1: kid because like that's the whole point of why they
- 16:19Speaker 1: shouldn't get married so it's kind of proving rory's take
- 16:23Speaker 1: of like you're getting married too young blah blah but
- 16:26Speaker 1: yeah i don't know it's just it works but i
- 16:30Speaker 1: wish it was done a little differently yeah that's it
- 16:34Speaker 1: yeah i agree Also, I like how Lorelai had to
- 16:38Speaker 1: bring this tea to the table.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was interesting. Like, why did she
- 16:44Speaker 2: feel the need to tell Rory about it? Like, she
- 16:46Speaker 2: could have just... Because she obviously wasn't meant to overhear it. Like,
- 16:50Speaker 2: it wasn't like.
- 16:51Speaker 3: No, but they tell each other everything, so I wasn't
- 16:53Speaker 3: too shocked.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
- 16:55Speaker 3: Considering who it was.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so.
- 16:58Speaker 1: And we're just coming off of, like, a couple episodes
- 17:01Speaker 1: ago when, like, she... Lindsay just found out that Rory
- 17:05Speaker 1: and Dean are talking. Yeah. Right?
- 17:09Speaker 3: Wasn't it a couple episodes ago?
- 17:10Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Yes. And I wonder if... How much of that Lorelai knew?
- 17:18Speaker 1: Yeah, because we don't know if Rory told her.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Right. Exactly.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Oh, maybe that's why. I don't think she knows.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Now that you say it, I don't think she knows.
- 17:31Speaker 2: I don't know. It just seems like... You know, Lorelai is, like,
- 17:35Speaker 2: the boss of the place, and even though Dean doesn't
- 17:37Speaker 2: work for her directly, he works for Tom, it still was, like,
- 17:40Speaker 2: unprofessional as the owner of the... You know, like, it
- 17:43Speaker 2: was a... She was at work.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I still think it's more unprofessional that Lindsay came to
- 17:47Speaker 1: his workplace and said that.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
- 17:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:50Speaker 2: For sure. I mean, but I don't expect Lindsay to
- 17:53Speaker 2: be professional. I do expect Lorelai.
- 17:55Speaker 3: To be professional, but... I think she's professional with everyone else,
- 17:58Speaker 3: but I think it's her kid.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's... Well, think about it. Like, I'm sure
- 18:02Speaker 1: your husband comes home and tells you stuff about work, right?
- 18:05Speaker 2: Yeah, but not with people that I'm directly involved. You
- 18:09Speaker 2: know what I mean? I guess it just was kind
- 18:12Speaker 2: of crossing a line for me because she could have
- 18:15Speaker 2: just kept that to herself, but she's choosing to gossip.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it's different because of the relationship.
- 18:21Speaker 1: If it's like, you're just hearing about someone that you
- 18:23Speaker 1: know as like, a human who works with your significant other.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's not... Like,
- 18:29Speaker 3: you don't even know. You just hear stories. You don't
- 18:31Speaker 3: even know this person. I guess it's different. Yeah.
- 18:33Speaker 2: It's not like, oh, guess what? Rory Bob got in
- 18:36Speaker 2: a big fight with his wife. And, you know, like
- 18:38Speaker 2: that would be.
- 18:38Speaker 3: And you're like, okay, cool.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Who's Bob?
- 18:39Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. This is just a little bit different.
- 18:42Speaker 3: I don't know. It kind of crossed the line a
- 18:43Speaker 3: little bit, but... I still just think it's... I don't know.
- 18:46Speaker 1: I also think, like, doesn't Lorelai know that her daughter
- 18:48Speaker 1: is a little sensitive to that subject?
- 18:50Speaker 2: Right.
- 18:51Speaker 3: So telling her also seems weird.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, what was... What was her point there? Like,
- 18:56Speaker 2: what did... I don't know.
- 18:59Speaker 3: Yeah, like, what was the end goal?
- 19:01Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah.
- 19:04Speaker 2: I did have a few, like, minor little call-outs. So,
- 19:08Speaker 2: I think probably a lot of people know this, but
- 19:10Speaker 2: in case you didn't. So, the guy that played TJ's brother.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Yes.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Is his brother in real life. So, I loved that.
- 19:19Speaker 3: He's the dad from Wizards of Waverly Place.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Yes.
- 19:23Speaker 2: And then also... part of the same family, the movie
- 19:26Speaker 2: that they, that Lorelai and Rory watched at movie night
- 19:29Speaker 2: was Fatso. And that is their dad, Don Deluise, the
- 19:34Speaker 2: guy in Fatso is their.
- 19:36Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know that.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Oh yeah. That's like a famous.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Whoa. That was like inception over there.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Yeah. So clearly, clearly that was intentional. And then I
- 19:48Speaker 2: wanted to call this out because the of the separate
- 19:51Speaker 2: uh parenthood rewatch they're on season five so shell the
- 19:56Speaker 2: poultry guy also played victor's baseball coach in parenthood i
- 20:03Speaker 2: think he was only in like one or two episodes but.
- 20:06Speaker 3: I watched Parenthood, but I think I've only seen it
- 20:08Speaker 3: through twice. I don't remember the details.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just one of those things I had
- 20:12Speaker 2: in the back of my head. I've only seen Parenthood
- 20:15Speaker 2: a couple times.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Speaking of the poultry guy, the sleeping with the squash. Yes.
- 20:21Speaker 3: It's so funny.
- 20:22Speaker 1: And it's like one of those moments in this show
- 20:24Speaker 1: where you'll always remember. And I was like, oh, it's
- 20:26Speaker 1: this episode. When it came up, I was like, oh, yeah.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I remember the storyline very clearly.
- 20:32Speaker 2: That's one of those phrases that, you know, like sometimes
- 20:34Speaker 2: there's quotes from Gilmore Girls that just work their way
- 20:37Speaker 2: into your real life.
- 20:38Speaker 3: It's that one.
- 20:38Speaker 2: And it's that one. And anytime anybody in the family, like,
- 20:42Speaker 2: doesn't understand something, somebody else will pipe in with, he's
- 20:46Speaker 2: sleeping with the zucchini.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Zucchini.
- 20:49Speaker 2: There we go.
- 20:50Speaker 3: Not squash.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Zucchini.
- 20:51Speaker 3: It's basically like.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Let me repeat this slowly for you, you idiot.
- 20:55Speaker 1: It makes no sense, but it does.
- 20:57Speaker 2: That's like a part of our family's vocabulary on a
- 20:59Speaker 2: regular basis.
- 20:59Speaker 3: That's so funny.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 21:01Speaker 3: So you actually do say that?
- 21:02Speaker 2: Yes. My kids say it in everything. I don't even
- 21:05Speaker 2: think they know what it's from.
- 21:07Speaker 1: That's so funny. They're sleeping with the zucchini. Oh, my God.
- 21:11Speaker 3: It's so funny.
- 21:13Speaker 2: And then I did have one other funny little thing.
- 21:17Speaker 2: inconsistency from take to take was when, um, in the diner,
- 21:22Speaker 2: Lorelai comes in and this is when Jess comes in.
- 21:25Speaker 2: She didn't like, she finds out about the wedding and
- 21:27Speaker 2: then Jess walks in. She's like, you didn't tell me
- 21:29Speaker 2: all this when she's leaving. And she's talking about like
- 21:33Speaker 2: how many people in China or whatever. And that's how
- 21:35Speaker 2: long her to-do list is. She's holding her purse like
- 21:39Speaker 2: by the opening, like by the, by where the zipper is.
- 21:43Speaker 2: And then when it cuts back to her, now all
- 21:45Speaker 2: of a sudden she's holding it by the strap when
- 21:47Speaker 2: she walks out the door. Clearly two different takes. Kind
- 21:55Speaker 2: of a minor thing, but she's holding it. The zipper's open,
- 21:58Speaker 2: and she's holding it by the opening of the bag,
- 22:00Speaker 2: and then the second time she's holding it by the handle.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I will say the last couple episodes, I don't know
- 22:04Speaker 1: if you have more, but I didn't really see any
- 22:06Speaker 1: major call-outs. No! No! I think the last one you
- 22:09Speaker 1: called out was the building, which we realized was the
- 22:11Speaker 1: Disney building. But it wasn't even that big.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a quick.
- 22:14Speaker 2: That's just a landscape of.
- 22:16Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 22:17Speaker 2: You had to look real fast to see that one.
- 22:19Speaker 2: But yeah, they're definitely hitting their groove.
- 22:22Speaker 3: On top of it.
- 22:23Speaker 2: I haven't seen a mic drop.
- 22:25Speaker 3: Scripty's on it.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Yeah, Scripty is on it. For sure.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Scripty was hoping to get renewed for season five.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Yeah, Scripty didn't want to lose her job. Yeah.
- 22:37Speaker 1: All right, well, next week we're getting right to the
- 22:40Speaker 1: second to last episode of the season, season four, episode 21.
