- 0:25Speaker 1: Heart Radio one to Live In productions. What an episode
- 0:27Speaker 1: the Bracebridge Dinner. I gotta tell you, my impress, my
- 0:31Speaker 1: initial impression of this, after after the roller coaster ride
- 0:35Speaker 1: of hilarity and emotion, my god, this to me reminded
- 0:40Speaker 1: me of, you know, the swagger that the creators have now,
- 0:45Speaker 1: like we're the biggest, baddest sons of bees in the
- 0:51Speaker 1: gosh darn entertainment industry, and this is what we can
- 0:54Speaker 1: do top this? You know, it was just it was
- 0:57Speaker 1: just so I mean, they were landing. Every joke landed beautifully,
- 1:02Speaker 1: Every storyline and narrative landed beautifully, wove and inter wove beautifully.
- 1:08Speaker 1: It was just amazing. I was beautiful. It looked. Everything
- 1:15Speaker 1: look good. Just the snow man looked fake. I'm sorry
- 1:18Speaker 1: it did. The snowmen did not look real. You can
- 1:21Speaker 1: see the dimples from the styrofoam. I'm sorry. I know.
- 1:25Speaker 1: They tried. The head when it fell off looked real.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Every the snow that they were packing on looked real
- 1:33Speaker 1: when it fall off, but the I don't know, it
- 1:35Speaker 1: was just a little too dimpled for me. I'm kind
- 1:37Speaker 1: of a snowman expert. I grew up making snowmen in
- 1:43Speaker 1: southern New Jersey. I never saw saw snow men that
- 1:47Speaker 1: were doing snow Man. Did you think was the award
- 1:50Speaker 1: winning deserving number one? Well, okay, as good as the ringers,
- 1:59Speaker 1: uh snow Man was, he did not provide the humor
- 2:02Speaker 1: that those two young ladies did, so I'm gonna have
- 2:05Speaker 1: to give it to our girls. Can you remember filming
- 2:09Speaker 1: that episode at all? I mean, just the way the
- 2:11Speaker 1: town looks stood out. I just don't. I don't you
- 2:15Speaker 1: know what I I do remember this leigh ride somewhat.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I do remember that it's not wild. It was not that.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I mean, twenty years ago is like, you know, a
- 2:23Speaker 1: lifetime for some people, but it's like just a little
- 2:25Speaker 1: chunk of my life, so it shouldn't be the biggest stretch.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I don't know that it's because it was twenty years ago.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I think it's because you shot so many episodes, so
- 2:35Speaker 1: it's like you can't differentiate each thing. They all kind
- 2:39Speaker 1: of run into each other. I just know I didn't
- 2:41Speaker 1: remember any of that, and I loved the bootsy stuff,
- 2:44Speaker 1: and I loved all that stuff. But I mean, right
- 2:47Speaker 1: off the bat, it was just firing on all cylinders,
- 2:51Speaker 1: and um it just continued to I mean, I got
- 2:56Speaker 1: I got my Michelle fixed. Very early in the episode,
- 3:00Speaker 1: he was a sterical. I was very happy physical just
- 3:03Speaker 1: when he's doing this. Oh yeah, So all right, so
- 3:06Speaker 1: let's get into this, and I guess Riley is a
- 3:10Speaker 1: little down down for the count. Yeah. Last week she
- 3:13Speaker 1: had our sexy voice, but now she's just out. Yeah,
- 3:16Speaker 1: now she's gonna have to sit one out. Um, so
- 3:19Speaker 1: you got me and Danielle Romo, thank you for filling
- 3:22Speaker 1: in for the My god, the the the growing popularity
- 3:27Speaker 1: of Riley is I mean, I'm starting to feel a
- 3:30Speaker 1: little threatened, to be honest. Yeah. The anticipation for Danielle's
- 3:33Speaker 1: performance with pop culture is, yeah, we might have to
- 3:36Speaker 1: invite her to a secret dinner and then like push
- 3:38Speaker 1: her over a cliff or sometimes ready to armchair quarterback.
- 3:42Speaker 1: This let's go alright, go ahead, Danielle. Okay. So this
- 3:45Speaker 1: is episode ten, The Bracebridge Dinner air date December eleven,
- 3:49Speaker 1: two thoe and the synopsis is, while Rory struggles to
- 3:53Speaker 1: keep the budding rivalry between Dean and just under control.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Lorelai invites most of the citizens of stars Hollow to
- 3:59Speaker 1: an elaborate feast, complete with costumes and horse drawn sleigh rides,
- 4:04Speaker 1: during which Richard announces to Emily he has retired. Boom
- 4:07Speaker 1: boom boom. There's so much to unpack here, Amy, you
- 4:15Speaker 1: gotta guide me through this. I'm just gonna go off.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I mean, this is this was just some incredible episode.
- 4:22Speaker 1: It really was the best one were talking about. Yeah,
- 4:26Speaker 1: there's a lot to talk about, so go ahead, all right,
- 4:28Speaker 1: So let's start with what stood out to me was
- 4:30Speaker 1: the sleigh ride. I thought, and we're going out of
- 4:33Speaker 1: order as we do, but the sleigh ride to me,
- 4:35Speaker 1: for each of the three couples, and I say couples intentionally,
- 4:40Speaker 1: it was very significant. So I'd love to talk about
- 4:44Speaker 1: Rory and Jess, you and lower Lie, Richard and Emily.
- 4:48Speaker 1: So let's start with Rory and Jeff and just their
- 4:51Speaker 1: whole tension grew out in a good way throughout this, right.
- 4:55Speaker 1: So they're sleigh ride there, accidental sleigh rides there, on
- 4:58Speaker 1: intentional sleigh ride. I mean, we've got to protect Rory.
- 5:01Speaker 1: She wasn't her idea. You know, Jess jumped in there,
- 5:04Speaker 1: um you know that was it made it clear to
- 5:09Speaker 1: me and I think the audience that he's kind of
- 5:13Speaker 1: more of her a parley there with the literature and yes,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and especially when he said, what do you two talk about?
- 5:21Speaker 1: And he wasn't being a jerk about it, but he
- 5:24Speaker 1: was indicating we have a connection and what we talk about?
- 5:30Speaker 1: And when I think, I think what makes him bearable?
- 5:34Speaker 1: After seeing the fight and his attitude and the whole
- 5:36Speaker 1: thing is we feel so sorry for him because his
- 5:40Speaker 1: own mother didn't want him for the holidays, and we've
- 5:44Speaker 1: learned that through Luke and Lorelei sleigh right, and as
- 5:48Speaker 1: right as Lorelei said, he knows, which we find out
- 5:51Speaker 1: as he's in the sleigh with Rory, he does know.
- 5:55Speaker 1: He does know, because Luke boasted that he doesn't know,
- 5:58Speaker 1: and I made up a white lie and what's appropriate? Delight,
- 6:01Speaker 1: But it made you love Luke that much more and
- 6:03Speaker 1: it made you feel for for Jess. I mean it really,
- 6:07Speaker 1: So now he gets away with all this sort of
- 6:10Speaker 1: I don't know, outlier behavior, um right, And he's a
- 6:13Speaker 1: serious rival, I mean it. And and and she got
- 6:16Speaker 1: caught looking at him. I mean Dean, Dean nailed her
- 6:20Speaker 1: from across the room. And the look the way I
- 6:25Speaker 1: when I'm watching it, I obviously I'm just completely sucked in.
- 6:28Speaker 1: But now talking to you about it is like the
- 6:30Speaker 1: acting of that, like how do you direct somebody? Now
- 6:34Speaker 1: you're gonna glance, but you can't glance too much. You
- 6:37Speaker 1: need to glance. How do they How does that go?
- 6:40Speaker 1: Now we're referring to that end scene. That's just easy.
- 6:43Speaker 1: That's just a little luck. It's not that big a deal.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Oh that is not easy. It's not that. It's not that.
- 6:49Speaker 1: It's just a little angle you and you give a
- 6:51Speaker 1: little look. Yeah, even the way you're saying it now,
- 6:55Speaker 1: it's like just the subtlety. It's like, to me, it
- 6:57Speaker 1: was everything her looked to him, his look to her.
- 7:01Speaker 1: They look away, they look back. It's like a dance
- 7:04Speaker 1: and it says everything to the audience. All of that
- 7:07Speaker 1: stuff technique wise falls under the heading less is more. Yeah,
- 7:13Speaker 1: at a big revelation this episode. I have been team
- 7:17Speaker 1: Dean from the get go, and literally this episode I
- 7:21Speaker 1: was like, oh no, it's just like but do you
- 7:25Speaker 1: know for me, it's like Dean is bouncing off the
- 7:29Speaker 1: walls every time she's you know, it's like it just
- 7:34Speaker 1: shows that why you have to be super cool in
- 7:38Speaker 1: the face of a rival. You know, either either blow
- 7:41Speaker 1: them up right away and let the girl sort of
- 7:44Speaker 1: get over that shock, or just be cool and laugh
- 7:49Speaker 1: at it because you know, tightening up and being you know,
- 7:52Speaker 1: possessive and sort of in a snit all the time
- 7:55Speaker 1: because Jess is around, you know, it makes him look bad.
- 7:58Speaker 1: It really weakens that Kirk because we've seen him that
- 8:01Speaker 1: way so many consecutive episodes. Now it's like you're almost
- 8:05Speaker 1: sick of it. It almost becomes like a Paris thing
- 8:07Speaker 1: where it's like, here we go again with the nasty
- 8:09Speaker 1: evil stuff. And even though Jesse's fight was really with
- 8:13Speaker 1: the guy that Rory thought was a jerk, it's that
- 8:16Speaker 1: Ben Dean jumped in and then they're fighting. It always
- 8:19Speaker 1: comes back to their rivalry. And I thought Jess was
- 8:24Speaker 1: interesting and probably correct when he said he doesn't seem
- 8:28Speaker 1: like you're a kind of guy. He's like kind of
- 8:31Speaker 1: guy he's kind of and it's like he's not he's
- 8:33Speaker 1: not he is. I just think he's reaching too far
- 8:39Speaker 1: up the ladder and he knows it and he's nervous
- 8:41Speaker 1: about it. And he's a good guy, you know, don't.
- 8:45Speaker 1: You can't take anything away from him. I mean, he's
- 8:47Speaker 1: a good guy, he's smart. He just isn't. I don't know,
- 8:52Speaker 1: it's just he isn't. He doesn't damage. He isn't damaged
- 8:58Speaker 1: the way she's damaged. And I think that she can
- 9:01Speaker 1: relate to because Rory has some damage. I mean, she's
- 9:05Speaker 1: she covers it well. She you know, she's self analytical,
- 9:08Speaker 1: she's very bright. She understands what her issues are, and
- 9:13Speaker 1: she probably resolved them a lot of them on her
- 9:16Speaker 1: own or just with conversations with Laurel. I right, because
- 9:19Speaker 1: they're they're they're highly psychological couple. I mean they're highly aware.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Um uh. And I think I think she has that
- 9:27Speaker 1: in common with Jess. I think that the hurt and
- 9:30Speaker 1: the pain that he feels is the same hurt and
- 9:33Speaker 1: from the rejection his mother rejecting him is the same
- 9:35Speaker 1: thing that Rory probably felt with Christopher when when you
- 9:38Speaker 1: know they he decided to go off to California or
- 9:41Speaker 1: wherever he went, you know what I mean. I mean,
- 9:44Speaker 1: she didn't have a father that lives That leaves a
- 9:46Speaker 1: huge hole in your life. Um, and I think, you know,
- 9:50Speaker 1: that's what hit me so deeply in this episode. There's
- 9:53Speaker 1: a couple of things that was The first thing is like,
- 9:56Speaker 1: is knowing the pain of being rejected by a parent
- 9:59Speaker 1: is is searing and it's deep. And I think it's
- 10:03Speaker 1: how they're connecting. I think, whether they know it or not,
- 10:06Speaker 1: that's it. That's the glue and that's why it's gonna work. Yeah. Interesting.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I mean we even get a little glimpse of that
- 10:14Speaker 1: with the discussion about Christopher in this episode from the
- 10:18Speaker 1: very beginning when he calls lor Lae and then you know,
- 10:21Speaker 1: Loraa gets upset and even Rory isn't willing to say, yeah,
- 10:24Speaker 1: I want to go. She's like, I don't know if
- 10:26Speaker 1: I want to go, but it was nice to be invited. Yeah.
- 10:31Speaker 1: So the damage is there, you're right, Yeah, I mean,
- 10:34Speaker 1: as as flawless as we want to consider Rory to be,
- 10:39Speaker 1: you know, and as emotionally mature as she is in
- 10:43Speaker 1: most aspects of life, um, there's damage there. And that's
- 10:48Speaker 1: what's so compelling to watch about Laurela too. She's she's
- 10:51Speaker 1: really damaged and it makes people fascinating. And even how
- 10:55Speaker 1: she had that outburst saying I don't want you to go.
- 10:58Speaker 1: I don't want you ago, I don't want you to
- 11:02Speaker 1: be with someone else and not me. And it's perfect, Yeah,
- 11:07Speaker 1: it's right. It's perfectly understandable because what right does he have.
- 11:12Speaker 1: You know, he just abandoned his kid. You know, he
- 11:16Speaker 1: made a choice, right, right he did. I mean it
- 11:19Speaker 1: was on him, I guess probably, but right. But still,
- 11:24Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you gotta stand by your kid,
- 11:27Speaker 1: for God's sake. You can't just abandon your kid. And
- 11:30Speaker 1: he did. And then he shows up, you know, and
- 11:32Speaker 1: it's like, but he you know, he approached lure alife
- 11:34Speaker 1: very carefully. He's very respectful. I understand if you say
- 11:37Speaker 1: no the whole thing, you know, so we don't hate
- 11:39Speaker 1: the character. But it's like Pal on the holiday. You're right,
- 11:43Speaker 1: you're really right about that because you do like Christopher,
- 11:47Speaker 1: you do. But it was a little kind of I mean,
- 11:49Speaker 1: I can't judge him for that. That's his kid. He
- 11:52Speaker 1: wants to see her on the holiday. But it's like, dude,
- 11:55Speaker 1: don't take her away from her mom on the holidays.
- 11:59Speaker 1: You absconded. Really, it's like, you know, maybe come to
- 12:06Speaker 1: Stars Hollow, get a room at the end with your
- 12:08Speaker 1: girlfriend and be available for some lunches and dinners. Okay,
- 12:13Speaker 1: there's a way to handle that. If you want to
- 12:14Speaker 1: be with your daughter, don't put people out that you
- 12:18Speaker 1: ran away from. Just go make it work. Yeah, I'll
- 12:22Speaker 1: tell you. You know, me as a life coach for Christopher,
- 12:25Speaker 1: I think I could help him. No, I think so,
- 12:30Speaker 1: because it's like he is well intentioned now for sure,
- 12:35Speaker 1: you know so, I think coming back around analyzing Dean,
- 12:40Speaker 1: Dean is sweet. He is a safe choice for her.
- 12:44Speaker 1: He's just not going to what's the word like, like
- 12:49Speaker 1: you can already see Jess and the conversations and Jess
- 12:53Speaker 1: nailed it, like he's not your kind of guy because
- 12:55Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you about literature, and I'm gonna
- 12:58Speaker 1: know about the York and I'm gonna know about this,
- 13:01Speaker 1: and I'm gonna push your buttons in a very similar
- 13:04Speaker 1: way to Luke and Laura line. They don't just give
- 13:09Speaker 1: in to each other. Well, you know, I think Dean
- 13:13Speaker 1: knows that. How you know, forever he's going to be
- 13:18Speaker 1: a notch below Rory uh in i Q and in
- 13:26Speaker 1: you know his reading list. He's not able. He's not
- 13:30Speaker 1: on that level. She's special. She's really special. You know,
- 13:35Speaker 1: she's on her way to Harvard, for God's sake. I
- 13:37Speaker 1: mean that's just, you know, that's a very you know,
- 13:41Speaker 1: that's a very rare thing. What you know, I think
- 13:44Speaker 1: how many couple thousand get accepted every year. I mean
- 13:48Speaker 1: it's all the applicants. I mean they get applicants and
- 13:51Speaker 1: they're all qualified or like overqualified, every single one of them.
- 13:56Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's just a different level. And
- 13:59Speaker 1: he knows he can't compete on that level. He's that
- 14:02Speaker 1: guy that that loves, loves, loves when he's with them,
- 14:05Speaker 1: but when they're not with him, he's very, very irritable.
- 14:08Speaker 1: He's very nervous, he's insecure. You know, he gets angry.
- 14:11Speaker 1: He wants you know, he really wants to defend his turf,
- 14:14Speaker 1: and it's just like you cannot handle the air up
- 14:16Speaker 1: there is sweetest high. I mean even when Chris says,
- 14:19Speaker 1: can I go play with the horses? Yes, put your
- 14:22Speaker 1: coat on? Like he is so nurturing and sweet and
- 14:25Speaker 1: loving and like always with the goodbye kiss, and he
- 14:28Speaker 1: is like the great choice. It's just you know what,
- 14:32Speaker 1: there's another there's another aspect of Rory that I found
- 14:35Speaker 1: interesting and it was really glaring today in the episode.
- 14:39Speaker 1: She's really aloof She has this aloofness about her that
- 14:44Speaker 1: naturally makes people who are just slightly insecure even that
- 14:48Speaker 1: much more insecure and makes people like je attractive. Yes,
- 14:54Speaker 1: very nailed it, I mean, and Dean is like, I
- 14:58Speaker 1: can't handle this. This girl definitely doesn't love me the
- 15:03Speaker 1: way her because he's nuts about her and she's like
- 15:08Speaker 1: just she's just kind of playing along. I think she
- 15:10Speaker 1: feels something for I'm sure, definitely, but it ain't it
- 15:14Speaker 1: ain't the big you know, it ain't the big love, right,
- 15:17Speaker 1: you can just tell. And she is too, I don't know,
- 15:21Speaker 1: it's sort of unaffected by him and their relationship. So
- 15:26Speaker 1: I think she's just doing it because it's a small
- 15:28Speaker 1: town and and she likes him and he's nice to
- 15:32Speaker 1: her and this kind of thing. But I don't know.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Jessice looking awfully good these days. Yeah, Danielle, what did
- 15:42Speaker 1: you think of all three sleigh rides? We still have
- 15:44Speaker 1: to get to Richard and Emily because I think there's
- 15:46Speaker 1: a lot to talk about there and and just the
- 15:48Speaker 1: cuteness of them and throughout the episode, But daniel what
- 15:52Speaker 1: did you think of the sleigh rocks. I love Lorelei
- 15:55Speaker 1: and Luke's sleigh right. I think that was one of
- 15:57Speaker 1: my favorites that you guys were all cuddle under that
- 16:00Speaker 1: furry little blanket, and it just made me realize, like,
- 16:04Speaker 1: I love them together too. And that's how I felt
- 16:06Speaker 1: about Rory and Jessic's too. You know, when they were together,
- 16:10Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, they're so perfect like that
- 16:13Speaker 1: there at each other's league, you know what I mean,
- 16:16Speaker 1: Like they're very much compatible and like the same things
- 16:19Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. So with those two
- 16:21Speaker 1: slay right, I was like, uh, duh, there you go.
- 16:24Speaker 1: That's it. Was that your first time really seeing Jess
- 16:29Speaker 1: and Rory have that connection that you liked. Yeah, before
- 16:34Speaker 1: it was kind of like, oh Jess is kind of
- 16:36Speaker 1: like the bad boy, Rory is the good girl, and
- 16:38Speaker 1: they kind of flir, but liked this episode, I was like, oh,
- 16:43Speaker 1: they really have a connection. Well. I think for me
- 16:46Speaker 1: it was when U when he was walking away that
- 16:49Speaker 1: night when they think they just met, you know, that
- 16:53Speaker 1: day or something, or they were introducing, but it was
- 16:55Speaker 1: their first encounter at night. But he was walking towards
- 16:58Speaker 1: the zebo and he stopped and he turned around and
- 16:59Speaker 1: he the Melville reference. Um, and that was it. That
- 17:03Speaker 1: was it, Ferrory, That's all she needed to hear. I
- 17:06Speaker 1: think you're right. There's something about you know, just that
- 17:12Speaker 1: knowing that somebody is on. You know that somebody's a
- 17:16Speaker 1: reader and they you know, it's just their quality of
- 17:20Speaker 1: life is different, Their expectations are different. What you know,
- 17:23Speaker 1: their their art is different, their culture is different. It's
- 17:26Speaker 1: it's and and once that locks in, boy, that's just
- 17:31Speaker 1: as the king of totally redeeming himself because just when
- 17:34Speaker 1: you're like, oh he's a jerk, he fixes the toaster,
- 17:37Speaker 1: or you're like not liking him, he jumps in the
- 17:40Speaker 1: sleigh and it's just like so cute and charming and
- 17:44Speaker 1: obviously he destroyed the snowman. And it's like she wasn't
- 17:49Speaker 1: mad about it. Time she's turned right. She would have
- 17:53Speaker 1: been offended by that behavior before, and now she knows,
- 17:58Speaker 1: oh he did it for me. This guy is gonna
- 18:02Speaker 1: do whatever it takes for me. Yes, Yes, it's that violence,
- 18:07Speaker 1: that that streak that turns her on. Yeah, Dean would
- 18:13Speaker 1: never do that, right, He's not gonna do something that
- 18:16Speaker 1: Dean would never do. That she you know, it's it's
- 18:20Speaker 1: it's clear that Rory is beginning to well, let's just
- 18:26Speaker 1: project this into the future a couple of years from
- 18:27Speaker 1: now and Dean and Royer are still together. I think
- 18:30Speaker 1: she's bored out of her mind. I don't think Dean
- 18:33Speaker 1: can keep her interested with all of his devotion and
- 18:36Speaker 1: love and sweetness and kindness and all that stuff, and
- 18:38Speaker 1: then be uptight when a guy looks at her right
- 18:41Speaker 1: that that gets old very quickly, and um, that's the
- 18:45Speaker 1: perfect first boyfriend. But that's it. There's no question, there's
- 18:49Speaker 1: no question. But let's talk about Richard and Emily, because
- 18:55Speaker 1: immediately Richard was in a great mood. And obviously we
- 18:58Speaker 1: find out that it's because you retired. But I thought
- 19:01Speaker 1: their relationship this is one of the first times you realize, Wow,
- 19:06Speaker 1: these two really are meant to be together. Because she
- 19:11Speaker 1: doesn't just take his bleep, do you know what I mean?
- 19:16Speaker 1: She was upset and she speaks her mind to him
- 19:18Speaker 1: that he should have told her, and then he very
- 19:20Speaker 1: communicates why he didn't, and you understand. But it was
- 19:23Speaker 1: the sweetness, like let's go on the roller coaster and
- 19:25Speaker 1: I'll hold your hand, like they are just Grandma and
- 19:29Speaker 1: grandpa cutest ever. You know. Yeah, we get to be
- 19:34Speaker 1: a man and a woman again. I get to love
- 19:37Speaker 1: you again. Let's we can date again, we can feel
- 19:41Speaker 1: young again, and we can get away from all this bs.
- 19:45Speaker 1: You know, I mean leading a life on that level, Um,
- 19:49Speaker 1: it's a lot of fundraiser, it's a lot of friends,
- 19:52Speaker 1: it's a lot of effort, it's a lot of work,
- 19:53Speaker 1: it's a lot of gossip, it's a lot of you know,
- 19:55Speaker 1: it's a it's a lot you know leading. Leading that
- 19:58Speaker 1: kind of life is very very hard work and it's
- 20:02Speaker 1: daily um, and it's all about you know, power, politics
- 20:06Speaker 1: and socializing and all of that stuff. And they did
- 20:09Speaker 1: it very well for a long time. But man, they're tired.
- 20:12Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, it's solidified, like because they've they've been together,
- 20:19Speaker 1: what at least thirty five years, probably pushing forty years together. Man,
- 20:23Speaker 1: to those two like each other. They love each other
- 20:26Speaker 1: and they're committed, but they like each other, you know.
- 20:30Speaker 1: And it was like so sweet how he's going through
- 20:32Speaker 1: the finances and it's like obviously they have plenty of
- 20:34Speaker 1: money and she's like, don't worry about it, we're good
- 20:36Speaker 1: right well, and they hold hand very romantic, yes, And
- 20:41Speaker 1: but the thing, the thing that was interesting, and it's
- 20:44Speaker 1: been it's been obvious before, but it really became, you know,
- 20:48Speaker 1: neon later letters in this episode is what type of
- 20:52Speaker 1: person Emily was versus what type of person Richard is.
- 20:55Speaker 1: And you know he even said it to Emily. You
- 20:59Speaker 1: you know you like structure, do you like order? You
- 21:01Speaker 1: need to know, you don't like surprises, and you don't
- 21:04Speaker 1: like changes the plans, And that's how you get through
- 21:06Speaker 1: your day. And that bespeaks in my opinion, of somebody
- 21:10Speaker 1: who has experienced trauma, and they hang on to their
- 21:14Speaker 1: structure and they hang onto the list to get them
- 21:16Speaker 1: successful and through the day. First really it's really just
- 21:20Speaker 1: about getting through the day because they want to get
- 21:22Speaker 1: away from the chaos they experienced when they were children
- 21:25Speaker 1: or however they grew up, or in their first marriage
- 21:27Speaker 1: or their second marriage or the third marriage. They don't
- 21:30Speaker 1: want chaos anymore. They don't want to like, they want
- 21:34Speaker 1: to predictable, quantifiable pieces of time to do that, and
- 21:40Speaker 1: then they'll do that at that time, and then they'll
- 21:43Speaker 1: do that, and that's how Emily keeps control. Yeah, that's
- 21:48Speaker 1: really interesting talking about that god that's making me spin
- 21:51Speaker 1: a lot of things, because obviously Emily had something that
- 21:54Speaker 1: made her how she was, which caused the conflict with
- 21:56Speaker 1: lore Lie. But then the chaos of the pres mincy
- 22:00Speaker 1: and their daughter leaving at such a young age and
- 22:02Speaker 1: all that, And so you're right, she is trying to
- 22:05Speaker 1: control control, But it's not out of it's not because
- 22:08Speaker 1: she's a bad person. It's she's not out of evil,
- 22:10Speaker 1: it's not out of ego, it's out of her very survival.
- 22:14Speaker 1: It's how she approaches her day, it's how she plans things.
- 22:16Speaker 1: She can't handle her daughter being pregnant at sixteen when
- 22:21Speaker 1: she's going she's on her way to Harvard Princeton r Yale, right,
- 22:24Speaker 1: because she has not thought of it like this at
- 22:27Speaker 1: the very moment. And I think you make a great point.
- 22:29Speaker 1: And it's just it's just, you know, the machine broke
- 22:31Speaker 1: down and the the order the then then it was chaos.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Emily doesn't do chaos. It's not in the cards. It's
- 22:40Speaker 1: you cannot live, you cannot thrive in a chaotic environment.
- 22:45Speaker 1: And that's what Laurel I brought into their lives. She
- 22:48Speaker 1: exploded their lives. She exploded the order and the structure
- 22:53Speaker 1: that Emily, but I think you bring up something so
- 22:57Speaker 1: interesting that it's it's h kurt before the horse tail,
- 23:03Speaker 1: blagging the dog, whatever the saying is. It's like, because
- 23:06Speaker 1: Emily was so structured and so like even when Richard's like,
- 23:09Speaker 1: this is wonderful night and Emily says, your dress isn't pressed,
- 23:14Speaker 1: it's like, it's like Emily did that to Lora La,
- 23:17Speaker 1: even with good intentions, probably all her life, which made
- 23:20Speaker 1: the chaos happen when they had the pregnancy. So it's
- 23:23Speaker 1: almost like, yes, something did happen to Emily before in
- 23:28Speaker 1: her own childhood that made her be sort of like
- 23:31Speaker 1: that structured stick. Well, it's just the pressures of maintaining
- 23:36Speaker 1: a lofty perch in a power dynamic in Hartford at
- 23:41Speaker 1: the high end of the one the one per centers
- 23:44Speaker 1: right and the country club and the whole deal. And
- 23:47Speaker 1: if your clothes aren't pressed, people are going to talk
- 23:50Speaker 1: behind your back. You know, you know what I mean.
- 23:51Speaker 1: It's that kind of It's like you need to be perfect,
- 23:55Speaker 1: you know, you cannot. You cannot, uh, you cannot not
- 24:02Speaker 1: be perfect. You can't be imperfect. You must be perfect.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Appearances everything order is everything. Structure is everything. Manners are everything. Everything,
- 24:16Speaker 1: and the brilliance of these characters. When I'm coming back
- 24:18Speaker 1: to your interview with Chad Michael Murray, how he explained
- 24:23Speaker 1: he had to make Tristan likable and never get too close,
- 24:29Speaker 1: but make him still likable because a villain you just
- 24:32Speaker 1: hate so like the same thing with Emily. She has
- 24:35Speaker 1: all these things, but you don't hate her at all.
- 24:38Speaker 1: You love her. So even when she's so mean and
- 24:41Speaker 1: rude to say to her daughter, prust your dress at
- 24:43Speaker 1: this beautiful affair, you don't hate her. You just kind
- 24:47Speaker 1: of go. That's her. Interesting approach that the creators and
- 24:52Speaker 1: the writers took is to allow the audience. Now I'm
- 24:56Speaker 1: using Paris as an extreme example, because now she comes
- 25:00Speaker 1: in and she's a little softer, and she's accepted, invited
- 25:03Speaker 1: to the dinner, and now we get a little background
- 25:06Speaker 1: daughter or the parents, and now the nanny and we
- 25:09Speaker 1: I'm gonna read the Odyssey for the third time. And
- 25:11Speaker 1: I'm not a freak, you know, you know, I'm not
- 25:13Speaker 1: boring or whatever the words choose. That's you know, it
- 25:16Speaker 1: doesn't make me, you know, creepy or whatever. Um. But
- 25:20Speaker 1: it's like, now you're supposed to feel this, you know,
- 25:23Speaker 1: the soft spot for and you do and it worked,
- 25:26Speaker 1: and I do. I get it now. All that's all
- 25:29Speaker 1: I need is just give me something. And I didn't
- 25:32Speaker 1: have it before. I had a little you know, I
- 25:33Speaker 1: had an image of a mother buy a locker, and
- 25:35Speaker 1: then maybe a little bit of a sub story here
- 25:37Speaker 1: and there, but nothing really that you can piece together
- 25:40Speaker 1: and latch onto um. But now they gave me a
- 25:43Speaker 1: little something. So maybe this is you know, obviously this
- 25:46Speaker 1: is intentional. Maybe from the running room is like, get
- 25:49Speaker 1: these get the audience too, Maybe not hate these people,
- 25:53Speaker 1: but have them so abrasive, then then we can give
- 25:56Speaker 1: them a little humanity. And it's like I love them
- 26:00Speaker 1: all the more. I was so happy Paris was invited
- 26:03Speaker 1: to the dinner and stayed because it's like I want
- 26:06Speaker 1: her to have friends. I wanted to have something to do.
- 26:08Speaker 1: And then even when Morala goes over and says like,
- 26:11Speaker 1: we're so glad you're here in Paris, and she's like,
- 26:12Speaker 1: your your timeline was all off and the polyester sure,
- 26:16Speaker 1: and you're just like, oh, you can't help yourself, right,
- 26:20Speaker 1: you're here, right, this is why she's so I saw
- 26:23Speaker 1: what she really was in this episode. Of Paris I'm
- 26:26Speaker 1: speaking about is the loneliest girl in the world. She
- 26:30Speaker 1: has no friends, she doesn't even have parents. Yeah, she's
- 26:35Speaker 1: she speaks Spanish with her nanny. She has her books
- 26:40Speaker 1: that made me sad, sad, that made me like a
- 26:43Speaker 1: little bit like she's like she but and you know,
- 26:45Speaker 1: she resorts. She she retires the library and she breaks
- 26:49Speaker 1: out her Aristotle and her Homer and Daniel's dying to
- 26:53Speaker 1: say something. I can see her, like, I was just
- 26:55Speaker 1: gonna say, who calls her nanny? Nanny? She's like nanny
- 26:58Speaker 1: and then like spoke to her Portugue ease, all right,
- 27:01Speaker 1: I think she was Portuguese. It's like mommy. Yeah, it's
- 27:04Speaker 1: just I thought that was interesting. I was like nanny,
- 27:07Speaker 1: and I just and they did that intentionally obviously. Yeah.
- 27:11Speaker 1: I broke my heart a little bit, it really did. Yeah,
- 27:14Speaker 1: I'm really glad. I want you to come around on Paris.
- 27:17Speaker 1: I'm sure we're going to go back to you hating
- 27:19Speaker 1: her at some point, but like there's things that you
- 27:21Speaker 1: would like about her. Well, it's not hate, it's just
- 27:24Speaker 1: I feel very protective of Rory. Yeah, and but now
- 27:27Speaker 1: I know Rory can handle it. Now, let's let's let's
- 27:30Speaker 1: work on Paris a little bit, give her a little love,
- 27:32Speaker 1: you know. I's say, Rory figured this out a while
- 27:37Speaker 1: ago about and that's why she's so like, let me
- 27:40Speaker 1: just help you out here. That's why, you know, let
- 27:43Speaker 1: me get into the sorority because all you care, I know,
- 27:45Speaker 1: you have nothing to do. Why don't you stay here
- 27:47Speaker 1: at this dinner with all these lunatics. It's totally fine.
- 27:50Speaker 1: And she looked like just such a little lost sheep
- 27:52Speaker 1: at that dinner table, and she just she didn't know
- 27:55Speaker 1: what to do. She didn't want to what to say
- 27:57Speaker 1: to anybody, but she was happy to be there. It
- 27:59Speaker 1: was strange territory for her. There's like people sitting around.
- 28:02Speaker 1: There's like other people and they're talking and enjoying each other,
- 28:05Speaker 1: Like what is this? You know, it's completely it was
- 28:08Speaker 1: like she was on another planet and she was just loved.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Also the scene, and I can't I can't remember if
- 28:12Speaker 1: Paris was in or not. I had a spard feelings
- 28:13Speaker 1: she was. But when Richard and is telling that story,
- 28:16Speaker 1: you know, and the whole table's really kind of enamored
- 28:19Speaker 1: with him telling the story of how he was coming,
- 28:22Speaker 1: you know, instead of the share song blah blah blah,
- 28:26Speaker 1: the bony woman and that what did he what did
- 28:28Speaker 1: he call? Sonny? What did he call? Yeah, they should
- 28:37Speaker 1: like sunny and share references on the show. But anyway,
- 28:40Speaker 1: you also realized, like, wow, Richard's cool dude, and like
- 28:44Speaker 1: everyone kind of likes him and like they're fancy and
- 28:48Speaker 1: they're cool. You know. Yeah, I I love that scene
- 28:53Speaker 1: the most because Roon came out with the trumpeters and
- 28:59Speaker 1: then pushed the one trumpet away that was closest to
- 29:01Speaker 1: him when when they it was like, get that thing
- 29:03Speaker 1: away from here, and and everybody was so charmed and
- 29:11Speaker 1: entranced by these trumpeters and what was going on before
- 29:14Speaker 1: the Emily and Richard. They cut to other people and
- 29:16Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, this is wonderful, and then they cut
- 29:18Speaker 1: to Michelle and he's like he's like this. It was
- 29:21Speaker 1: like this is this is freaking embarrassing. Really, It's like,
- 29:25Speaker 1: how tacky in these Americans? Kirk was great and serving
- 29:28Speaker 1: the suit. I mean, now everybody was really on their game.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Bad liked run changing in the kitchen. I just tears.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I thought it was so funny. Um, you know, you're right,
- 29:43Speaker 1: It's say everybody was on their game. Yeah, I mean
- 29:46Speaker 1: this was really a dynamic performance from everybody. Mrs Kim,
- 29:52Speaker 1: we didn't say grace and like the silent grace and
- 29:55Speaker 1: then like, did you say silent grace to be and
- 29:57Speaker 1: she's just like, what the no, she says, that's a
- 30:00Speaker 1: good one. That she realized she was serious, she said,
- 30:04Speaker 1: but her head. Oh but it's nice. Look, it's it's
- 30:13Speaker 1: hard not and those scenes, Look, those kinds of episodes
- 30:16Speaker 1: are really difficult to shoot. Around the dinner table because
- 30:20Speaker 1: you have to get so much coverage. It takes forever.
- 30:24Speaker 1: You know, that must have taken days because every single
- 30:27Speaker 1: thing is happening, and then you and Jess looking at
- 30:29Speaker 1: the soup and the obviously those like Creme Fresh and
- 30:32Speaker 1: they're particularly care for Crime Fresh, but and then the
- 30:36Speaker 1: parsley or whatever it was. But I mean it's really
- 30:39Speaker 1: you know, look, it's it's Christmas time, it's snow, it's slays,
- 30:44Speaker 1: it's horse drawn carriages, it's it's dinner with friends, and
- 30:48Speaker 1: this is how we'll celebrate. And it just makes you
- 30:50Speaker 1: love these people and love this place, and that I
- 30:52Speaker 1: think you know this, I think the real star of
- 30:56Speaker 1: this episode was stars Hollow. It was the people of
- 31:01Speaker 1: Stars Hollow as a unit, as a community, and we
- 31:04Speaker 1: could all see the friends, and we could all see
- 31:07Speaker 1: them there with all their their divergent personalities melding together
- 31:12Speaker 1: and and just making us love them more and more
- 31:14Speaker 1: and more. It was a very warm love. I would
- 31:18Speaker 1: love to say that we are geniuses and planned this
- 31:22Speaker 1: episode two fall into this date in the calendar, but
- 31:27Speaker 1: we got lucky the fact that it was Christmas time
- 31:32Speaker 1: right now and this episode was like Christmas time winter break.
- 31:37Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I was like, are we awesome? Right? What?
- 31:40Speaker 1: You can only dream of being invited to a dinner
- 31:43Speaker 1: like that or being part of a community that does
- 31:46Speaker 1: that right well with that much humor? Oh god? Well,
- 31:52Speaker 1: and you can tell things got wild after dark because
- 31:56Speaker 1: the you know, the next morning we hear about the
- 31:58Speaker 1: spoons begging on the head head and Jackson pulling his
- 32:01Speaker 1: shirt up, and so you're you're to understand that, like,
- 32:05Speaker 1: these guys party too and they are having a blast.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Do you know what's interesting about these characters is in life, right,
- 32:13Speaker 1: we go to these things and we we really do
- 32:18Speaker 1: attempt to connect with strangers or other people are people
- 32:21Speaker 1: that we know, but we don't know that well, and
- 32:24Speaker 1: we we we'll kind of put our true selves aside.
- 32:29Speaker 1: And I don't mean to be so revealing, but I
- 32:31Speaker 1: think everybody does. But it's like, you know, you kind
- 32:35Speaker 1: of lose who you are the greater good to get
- 32:38Speaker 1: along this kind of thing. The thing about these characters
- 32:42Speaker 1: in the show is there themselves all of the time.
- 32:48Speaker 1: They don't do that, even at that dinner. It's like,
- 32:51Speaker 1: you know, and I think it was illustrated best well
- 32:53Speaker 1: a lot of times. But the thing that really stuck
- 32:56Speaker 1: out to me is when Bootsy made a comment to
- 32:58Speaker 1: me and I just like said, shut up. It's like
- 33:03Speaker 1: these two guys are just being themselves, a little childhood
- 33:06Speaker 1: rival reading you so hilarious and again we just at
- 33:10Speaker 1: we don't know everything, but we get it from the
- 33:13Speaker 1: town meeting and from a few other incidents, and you're
- 33:16Speaker 1: just like, oh yeah, these two. Yeah, nobody's changing for anybody.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Everybody's there, glorious selves whoever they are, and they don't
- 33:25Speaker 1: go to the inns. So cool. Don't you want to
- 33:27Speaker 1: put that in? Yeah? I do. I mean that's all wallpaper.
- 33:32Speaker 1: I was like, I'm here for it. Yea, No, it's
- 33:35Speaker 1: it's it's it what Lorala and Emily putting on their lotion.
- 33:41Speaker 1: I wasn't going to say that. I mean Danielle sorry,
- 33:46Speaker 1: exactly the same putting on their lotion. And when I
- 33:49Speaker 1: watched that scene, I was like, how many tasted that take?
- 33:52Speaker 1: Because they did it in such unison without even looking
- 33:55Speaker 1: at each other, you know what I mean? What they
- 33:57Speaker 1: do that? Would they get a countdown? Like what would
- 33:59Speaker 1: how would you do that where they are exactly the same. Well,
- 34:03Speaker 1: I think that Laura Lee, I think Lauren could see
- 34:06Speaker 1: Emily inner peripheral fishion because that was genius. Yeah, yeah,
- 34:12Speaker 1: that's not that hard. Okay, So we're gonna come back
- 34:15Speaker 1: and break this down more. But we do have a
- 34:16Speaker 1: break and we have a surprise for you, yes, a
- 34:20Speaker 1: fun surprise, and should obviously come back and talk more
- 34:24Speaker 1: and do pop culture and all that. But so Gilmore
- 34:27Speaker 1: TikTok's are some of my favorite, like just the things
- 34:30Speaker 1: people do on TikTok all about Gilmer girls, and there
- 34:33Speaker 1: is a ton of Gilmore TikTok's. I don't see Scott
- 34:36Speaker 1: being totally on the for you page, but I was
- 34:41Speaker 1: on TikTok and saw the fun I laughed out loud
- 34:46Speaker 1: when I saw this guy on TikTok, so we tracked
- 34:48Speaker 1: him down and we want him to tell you his story.
- 34:50Speaker 1: So that's what will say. Should I get my TikTok
- 34:53Speaker 1: game going? Oh? Do? First of all, TikTok is so addicting.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Should I know? But I should I start doing videos
- 35:01Speaker 1: on TikTok or am I just yes? Years too old
- 35:06Speaker 1: to do that? Yes, that's ryan. They're plenty of grandma's.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Because I tell you, I just got a notice from
- 35:11Speaker 1: Instagram they're going to suspend my account. Why because they
- 35:17Speaker 1: say I had a copyright infringement, infringed on somebody's copyright
- 35:22Speaker 1: in one of my posts. And I can't even imagine
- 35:25Speaker 1: what they're talking about. And there's no recourse, and there's Yeah,
- 35:28Speaker 1: I just got the I just got the email, and
- 35:30Speaker 1: I was like, you know, you might be able to
- 35:32Speaker 1: help with that. Send that to us, you might be
- 35:33Speaker 1: able to help with us. But yeah, you should definitely
- 35:36Speaker 1: do TikTok. I mean, if I lose that platform, you know,
- 35:40Speaker 1: I'll go to TikTok like that. Send us that Instagram
- 35:42Speaker 1: We're gonna try and help with that. That's weird, But
- 35:45Speaker 1: TikTok is addicting. Suddenly you're like, I've been sitting on
- 35:48Speaker 1: the couch staring at my phone for an hour and
- 35:50Speaker 1: a half. I've got to get up, Like it's so bad.
- 35:53Speaker 1: But anyway, so Danielle, you bring him in and then
- 35:57Speaker 1: just introduce him to Scott and have him tell his story,
- 36:00Speaker 1: and then the TikTok went viral, which is why I
- 36:02Speaker 1: thought it was. So should we take a break. We'll
- 36:04Speaker 1: take a little break, all right, everybody. Uh, man, I'm sweating. Huh,
- 36:10Speaker 1: let's towel off. Let's let's take some libation, and uh.
- 36:15Speaker 1: We'll be back after these words. All right, everybody, we
- 36:22Speaker 1: are back, and I think we're waiting for some kind
- 36:25Speaker 1: of surprise. Oh it's the surprise. Has a name, now, Gabe?
- 36:29Speaker 1: Who's Gilmore? TikTok went viral? And hello? There he is, Gabe.
- 36:37Speaker 1: How are you? You look like you're in a very
- 36:39Speaker 1: well appointed den in the northeastern part of the United
- 36:43Speaker 1: States or in the suburbs of Illinois and Chicago. You

- 37:07Speaker 1: is definitely at his mom's house or his parents house,
- 37:10Speaker 1: because I'm I'm sitting in the spot that my dad
- 37:12Speaker 1: does all of his work zoom meetings. Because it is
- 37:16Speaker 1: very fancy. It's very very very well appointed, very mom
- 37:22Speaker 1: decorated fancy not college kids house. Yeah, this is not.
- 37:27Speaker 1: This is not my college dorm. The suburbs of Philadelphia
- 37:32Speaker 1: are gorgeous. They are absolutely beautiful. I grew up here, Yes, indeed, Yes,
- 37:39Speaker 1: And Gabe, nice to meet you. Yeah, nice to meet
- 37:42Speaker 1: you too. This is so Gabe. We didn't tell Scott
- 37:45Speaker 1: what happened, but I stumbled upon your TikTok that went
- 37:48Speaker 1: viral because I'm addicted to the for you page. So
- 37:51Speaker 1: will you tell the story and then tell them about
- 37:54Speaker 1: the TikTok? Yes? So, um So, I had a lot
- 37:58Speaker 1: of finals in these past two weeks, as is normal
- 38:03Speaker 1: for college. Um, but I like to procrastinate about as
- 38:07Speaker 1: much as I can. Um. So, it must have been Monday, Yeah,
- 38:11Speaker 1: Like Monday, I woke up and I had like three
- 38:14Speaker 1: essays to write um by Tuesday night Wednesday night, and
- 38:19Speaker 1: instead of doing that, I woke up really early because
- 38:21Speaker 1: like I was stressed about not doing my work, and
- 38:24Speaker 1: I was scrolling through Netflix because I've sort of exhausted
- 38:27Speaker 1: like all of the things that I thought of to
- 38:29Speaker 1: watch to pass the time. And I saw Gilmore Girls
- 38:34Speaker 1: and Netflix and I've always like seen it and never
- 38:38Speaker 1: like taking the time to watch it, and I was like, hmmm,
- 38:42Speaker 1: this is the time. So it was like early morning,
- 38:45Speaker 1: I think it was like eight, Like it was like
- 38:47Speaker 1: eight am, and I started watching the first episode of
- 38:51Speaker 1: the first season and I watched fifteen hours m past
- 38:57Speaker 1: the whole day. Didn't even open my lap top to
- 39:00Speaker 1: do anywhere your essays. Oh that goes on eventually. That's
- 39:08Speaker 1: that's what like two in the morning is for straight hours. Yeah,
- 39:14Speaker 1: it's a sit down and invest myself kind of situation
- 39:18Speaker 1: to pass the time and pretend like I'm being productive,
- 39:21Speaker 1: and hey, I'm very invested in the show now, so
- 39:24Speaker 1: I call that being productive. I got all my work done,
- 39:27Speaker 1: so good for you all, is well, welcome to the
- 39:31Speaker 1: Welcome to our family. Yeah, welcome, You're you've been Gilmourd. Yeah,
- 39:37Speaker 1: I really got sucked in like it. It caught me
- 39:40Speaker 1: immediately and then fifteen hours later I was what did
- 39:44Speaker 1: you think, like and what do you think of Luke?
- 39:47Speaker 1: What do you think of the character of Luke. I've
- 39:49Speaker 1: been thinking about it so much, um, like, like what
- 39:54Speaker 1: was my favorite part about the show, and like what
- 39:57Speaker 1: sort of drew me in? And I think it's because
- 40:00Speaker 1: like all the characters and all the situations um are
- 40:04Speaker 1: so real. Like there's like a lot of the time
- 40:07Speaker 1: I watch a show, like I'll watch a druma like
- 40:09Speaker 1: a sitcom, and I'm sitting there watching and I'm like, oh,
- 40:13Speaker 1: like this is entertaining, but like this would never happen.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Like everything, like literally everything in Gilmore Girls has either
- 40:21Speaker 1: happened to me or like I can imagine it happening,
- 40:23Speaker 1: Like especially the stuff that like Rory goes through at
- 40:26Speaker 1: school and like sort of all the little like relationship
- 40:29Speaker 1: things are just they feel so real, Like I feel
- 40:31Speaker 1: like I'm just watching like into an actual small town
- 40:35Speaker 1: UM and Luke Luke specifically, Oh my god, the character
- 40:40Speaker 1: is so like interesting to watch because when season one ends,
- 40:46Speaker 1: like it's sort of a bit of a cliffhanger. They're like,
- 40:49Speaker 1: what's gonna happen? Um. And one of like one of
- 40:54Speaker 1: the things, one of my favorite parts about him is
- 40:56Speaker 1: that in like one of the early episodes, Lorala gave
- 40:59Speaker 1: him a hat. She gave him like the blue hat,
- 41:02Speaker 1: and I was like, hmm, I wonder if that's going
- 41:04Speaker 1: to be his hat now, And it's been a blue
- 41:06Speaker 1: it's been the blue baseball hat ever since. So it's
- 41:08Speaker 1: just like sort of the little details because he clearly
- 41:11Speaker 1: cares about little things like you can see that, and
- 41:14Speaker 1: how much he cares about all the little um details
- 41:18Speaker 1: that maybe people wouldn't notice, about the diner and like
- 41:21Speaker 1: keeping all the stuff on the walls and he was
- 41:23Speaker 1: so hesitant to paint the place and like all that
- 41:27Speaker 1: little stuff. It's sort of his attention to detail and
- 41:29Speaker 1: like his thoughtfulness that makes him that like makes you
- 41:32Speaker 1: root for him. Um in the whole Lower Lie Max
- 41:37Speaker 1: Luke triangle there, Yeah, I think you know it's it's
- 41:41Speaker 1: one of the few shows that allows its characters, at
- 41:44Speaker 1: least its main characters, to be completely snotty, stuck up,
- 41:49Speaker 1: looking down their nose types. Ye's still likable and lovable
- 41:53Speaker 1: even because they're just so fully themselves, you know. I mean,
- 41:57Speaker 1: I mean take for example, you know all of the
- 42:01Speaker 1: great cultural references in the beginning of this especially we're
- 42:04Speaker 1: talking about this Bracebridge episode. I don't know if you've
- 42:06Speaker 1: gotten here yet, have you? Have you delved into the
- 42:08Speaker 1: dug into the second season yet? Okay, so this this,
- 42:12Speaker 1: this was like three days ago. So so so tell us,
- 42:17Speaker 1: so tell us about this video. Yes, so I Postum,
- 42:20Speaker 1: I post TikTok's every day. I checked today because I
- 42:23Speaker 1: I don't really look at like my total amount that much,
- 42:25Speaker 1: but I meant three thousand seventy videos over the past
- 42:28Speaker 1: two and a half years. Um, So I post pretty
- 42:31Speaker 1: much every day, and usually I have something to post
- 42:35Speaker 1: about throughout the day. But in that day, I've just
- 42:37Speaker 1: been sitting around not moving for about fifteen hours. So
- 42:41Speaker 1: I was like, it was like ten pm. I was thinking,
- 42:44Speaker 1: what is something? Like, what is content for right now?
- 42:48Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I've watched Gilmore Girls
- 42:51Speaker 1: for the past fifteen hours. May as well see if
- 42:53Speaker 1: anybody else has done that, just sort of share my experience.
- 42:57Speaker 1: So it's just a video of me saying I was
- 43:00Speaker 1: supposed to write three essays today, but instead I watched
- 43:03Speaker 1: fifteen hours of Gilmore Girls and it was worth every
- 43:06Speaker 1: second and it really was. And hey, like a million
- 43:09Speaker 1: people have agreed with me. So I did a million
- 43:12Speaker 1: million likes. It has I can check right now because
- 43:16Speaker 1: I have my phone with me every second of the day.
- 43:20Speaker 1: Um it has Okay, I exaggerated. It has six hundred
- 43:27Speaker 1: and has six hundred five thousand views and people there
- 43:34Speaker 1: four four thousand shares, so at least four thousand people
- 43:38Speaker 1: sent this to another person and they were like, this
- 43:42Speaker 1: is accurate. This is and you did that without dancing
- 43:45Speaker 1: with other people in unison or lip thinking rap songs
- 43:50Speaker 1: or anything. You just you just made a comment. My
- 43:52Speaker 1: videos are mostly just me, like talking to the camera.
- 43:55Speaker 1: It was like, it's like a nine second video of
- 43:57Speaker 1: me just in front of my TV with gil Mark
- 44:00Speaker 1: Earls paused from the background. I have to see this, Yeah,
- 44:04Speaker 1: we'll send it. We saw it, and I sent three
- 44:07Speaker 1: of those shares because I sent and I was like,
- 44:10Speaker 1: you guys, I'm gonna have to jump on this TikTok
- 44:13Speaker 1: horse and get a riding man. Yeah, I mean people
- 44:18Speaker 1: would love to have you on there, you think, so
- 44:21Speaker 1: I only just like compared to everybody on there. I
- 44:23Speaker 1: mean they get like kids, little kids on there. Clearly
- 44:26Speaker 1: people are still huge fans of gil Markets and will
- 44:29Speaker 1: always be. Because I was like doing the math today, um,
- 44:34Speaker 1: because I didn't know, like when the show came out.
- 44:37Speaker 1: The first season that I watched came out two years
- 44:41Speaker 1: before I was born, so like when it ended, I
- 44:44Speaker 1: was eight, and now I'm a sophomore in college. So
- 44:48Speaker 1: like my like my age group still loves the show,
- 44:52Speaker 1: like way after it ended, Like we're all reruns streaming
- 44:58Speaker 1: Netflix kids when it comes to this show and we're
- 45:00Speaker 1: all still very invested because it's like it is sort
- 45:03Speaker 1: of it is kind of timeless, Like what I said,
- 45:06Speaker 1: It feels like just real, like all real situations that, um,
- 45:10Speaker 1: like I could still see happening now, just like all
- 45:13Speaker 1: these little interactions between people. Will you be my TikTok
- 45:17Speaker 1: mentor oh definitely definitely. I think you could help great
- 45:21Speaker 1: what I'm here for. Let's join forces, Yes, reach your span,
- 45:27Speaker 1: let's reach across the generations and clasp our hands together,
- 45:30Speaker 1: and you can help me become TikTok relevant because I
- 45:34Speaker 1: know that if I'm on my own, it will it may.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I mean there's clearly there's clearly an audience for it.
- 45:45Speaker 1: People are clearly excited to see Gilmore girls mentioned on
- 45:50Speaker 1: there for you page. So, but Gabe, you got to
- 45:52Speaker 1: keep me within certain parameters that you know people will
- 45:58Speaker 1: respond to, because I mean, I have some wacky ideas
- 46:01Speaker 1: that I'm going to blow this whole thing up and
- 46:02Speaker 1: rowing it. So, so you gotta keep your wacky ideas
- 46:08Speaker 1: are exactly what the world needs right now when it
- 46:10Speaker 1: comes to go more girls content. Wait, Gates, are you
- 46:13Speaker 1: gonna keep watching? Are you gonna are you gonna keep

- 46:19Speaker 1: be doing. He's gonna pass us on a second. I'm
- 46:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the whole thing, watch it again. That's
- 46:27Speaker 1: like I watched things over and over again because I'm
- 46:31Speaker 1: always like I'm always watching stuff, Like I love television,
- 46:34Speaker 1: I love film. It's like I'm an actor in school,
- 46:37Speaker 1: Like it's just sort of my studying kind of like
- 46:40Speaker 1: I just that's how I rationalize it. But um, I'm
- 46:43Speaker 1: watching stuff all the time, and I end up just
- 46:45Speaker 1: like rewatching shows like a million times. So when I
- 46:48Speaker 1: find something new that I love and like, I enjoy it.
- 46:51Speaker 1: And I'm really interested in It's such a cool experience
- 46:54Speaker 1: because I'm so used to like knowing exactly what happens,

- 53:47Speaker 1: just gonna say, let's do some fashion first, and then
- 53:50Speaker 1: we'll do the pop culture, because who the heck would
- 53:52Speaker 1: want to do the pop culture? Now, you'd have to
- 53:55Speaker 1: be insane to me to stand out for those fur blankets,
- 53:59Speaker 1: like the fur blankets in the Slaves were number one
- 54:05Speaker 1: twenty years ahead of their time because those things are
- 54:08Speaker 1: very expensive at pottery barn right now, and number two
- 54:11Speaker 1: they were so they just looked so good. I have
- 54:17Speaker 1: I have for on my couches me. I like all
- 54:21Speaker 1: the winter gear in general. I really really enjoyed Luke's green,
- 54:27Speaker 1: big heavy coat. Oh, yes, you know what, I'm very
- 54:30Speaker 1: perfectly fitting. Yeah, you wore in the in the okay,
- 54:35Speaker 1: So that's my that's my faux paw. If you'll notice,
- 54:39Speaker 1: if you'll go back, and you will notice that when
- 54:42Speaker 1: Luke comes in, he takes off his jacket right, and
- 54:45Speaker 1: then they cut away and then I guess Laurela is
- 54:49Speaker 1: talking to somebody. Lauren, Laurel and Roy are talking to somebody,
- 54:52Speaker 1: and then they cut back and the jacket on and
- 54:55Speaker 1: the jacket on, and he started taking it off again.
- 54:56Speaker 1: He took that jacket off. Yes, Daniel, we have we
- 54:59Speaker 1: have to. Oh yeah, that's a good one. That's that's
- 55:06Speaker 1: the double double right over my head, double military jacket
- 55:10Speaker 1: takeoff incident in the Bracebridge dinner. Oh I did, speaking
- 55:16Speaker 1: of Also, like Jesse's jacket. It was the one that
- 55:19Speaker 1: he's wearing it corduroy, kind of a yellowy brownie tan.
- 55:24Speaker 1: And then he was putting on the gloves slash mittens
- 55:28Speaker 1: like they weren't mittens. They were gloves, but they weren't.
- 55:31Speaker 1: They were like Kashmir or something, and just everything about
- 55:34Speaker 1: that look I wanted to I wanted to button the
- 55:36Speaker 1: top button or zip it up a little. It looked
- 55:38Speaker 1: like he was going to catch it. I didn't find it,
- 55:41Speaker 1: like wrap a scarf around him. You know. I really
- 55:44Speaker 1: noticed Jesse's handsomeness in this episode. I was like, that
- 55:47Speaker 1: kid's bad. Yeah, after the fight when he was like
- 55:50Speaker 1: looking up at Dean and he was all pumped up
- 55:52Speaker 1: and like his hair is a messy, and he's like, Jesus,
- 55:55Speaker 1: that's a good looking kid, Like, look at him. Was
- 55:58Speaker 1: super hot until jes showed up and then you're like, yeah,
- 56:03Speaker 1: and he took a and he looks like Milo looks
- 56:07Speaker 1: like a little scrapper. Yeah, he looks tall. You know,
- 56:12Speaker 1: he's tall enough. He's like, right, well, nobody is. I
- 56:17Speaker 1: mean the kids six four, you know, without his shoes on,
- 56:20Speaker 1: for God's sake. I mean he's like you look up
- 56:22Speaker 1: at Jared, like, hey, how you doelling buddy? How's the
- 56:24Speaker 1: weather up there? But I also loved Laurelize St. Bernard's
- 56:29Speaker 1: Bulldogs long sleeve maybe they were quarter length blue shirt.
- 56:33Speaker 1: I just remember twenty years ago, we're in a lot
- 56:36Speaker 1: of that kind of shirt, and I just really remember
- 56:39Speaker 1: buying clothes like lore Lie, Like I remember watching it
- 56:44Speaker 1: and wanting and trying to find those looks right. Good
- 56:49Speaker 1: fashion in this episode, a lot of fashion coming at
- 56:52Speaker 1: you and crazy costumes, fashion and style. All right, so
- 56:58Speaker 1: let's get back to the episode. There's there's still more
- 57:00Speaker 1: to unpack. What do you think are we just a
- 57:03Speaker 1: few more things? I think we talked about Paris. I
- 57:05Speaker 1: think I'm happy Emily and Richard resolve their issue and
- 57:10Speaker 1: look happier than ever. Yeah, yeah, then we've ever seen them? Yeah,
- 57:15Speaker 1: you know, Suki and Jackson are cruising. They obviously are happy.
- 57:20Speaker 1: Melissa was hitting home runs. Her timing and her delivery
- 57:24Speaker 1: is just second to them. It was a joy. It's
- 57:26Speaker 1: a joy to watch Melissa, isn't it. It really is
- 57:29Speaker 1: a privilege to watch her work because it just doesn't
- 57:32Speaker 1: seem like work. It's just this very enthusiastic, very funny
- 57:36Speaker 1: person who you just love. It's just it's it's it's
- 57:40Speaker 1: wonderful to watch her. Yeah. I mean, I'm interested because
- 57:43Speaker 1: obviously there's some Christopher things coming. We haven't met Sherry yet.
- 57:48Speaker 1: They reference are being pretty or beautiful, but we don't
- 57:52Speaker 1: I know who plays her, so I'm excited about that,
- 57:55Speaker 1: but we haven't met her. Yet so obviously that's coming
- 57:58Speaker 1: to you know, one thing, I otist in the scene
- 58:01Speaker 1: where Laurel I admits that you know that she lied
- 58:05Speaker 1: to Rory and I didn't tell you when he did
- 58:06Speaker 1: call on this kind of thing, and Rory took on
- 58:09Speaker 1: again the uh, she assumed the position of the parent,
- 58:15Speaker 1: and she was not scolding her mother like a parent
- 58:18Speaker 1: with Golden Child. She was saying she was just sort
- 58:21Speaker 1: of making sure that Laurel I was on the same page,
- 58:25Speaker 1: like we're rooting for dad, right, mom, right, that's right, right,
- 58:29Speaker 1: So we have to you know that we can't that
- 58:32Speaker 1: kind of thing. So it's just going down that checklist
- 58:34Speaker 1: with her. And that's really the nature. That's why she's
- 58:38Speaker 1: so emotionally mature, because she has had to manage um
- 58:44Speaker 1: what I you know, I don't want to use the
- 58:46Speaker 1: mania now. I don't want to use that. That's that's
- 58:49Speaker 1: that's not that's not. I don't think that described Laura.
- 58:54Speaker 1: I just think I just think Laurel is in an
- 58:56Speaker 1: extremely difficult position given where she came from, this wations
- 59:00Speaker 1: she's in, and with Christopher as an ex because he,
- 59:05Speaker 1: you know, he's developing so slowly in his life, right,
- 59:10Speaker 1: and well, right, if your mom had you at sixteen,
- 59:12Speaker 1: you're dealing with a totally different mom than somebody who
- 59:16Speaker 1: has a kid at thirty. Right. And then her own
- 59:19Speaker 1: feelings of you know, abandonment by Christopher and what could
- 59:23Speaker 1: have been, and you know, he really didn't make an effort.
- 59:26Speaker 1: So I'm I'm very conflicted about how I feel about him.
- 59:29Speaker 1: I think I love him and I hate him a
- 59:30Speaker 1: little bit, you know. And it's like all these things
- 59:33Speaker 1: come up at once and it gets overwhelming and she
- 59:34Speaker 1: needs Rory there to hold her hand a little bit
- 59:36Speaker 1: and get her back to normal, like, hey, Mom, it's
- 59:39Speaker 1: just you and me, and it's okay, and it's okay
- 59:41Speaker 1: to feel that way. But you know, we are rooting
- 59:44Speaker 1: for dad because and it's just like it's just boit.
- 59:47Speaker 1: He just he's the weak link, you know. I mean
- 59:51Speaker 1: she does play the parent role or the calm person,
- 59:56Speaker 1: the thoughtful sort of no, we're not going to fly
- 59:59Speaker 1: off the hand the process properly, and you know, Laurel
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: I checks her too. I mean when it's it's a
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: symbiotic relationship, let's just put it that way. It's an unusual,
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: it's an unusual it's but I think, you know what,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: I actually think it's far more common. And I think that,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: you know, one of the reasons that shows so popular
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: just so many single mothers out there raising their daughters,
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: and it's so difficult. It's it's difficult to raise a
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: son or a daughter as a single mom. I mean,
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: it's just not easy. It's these women are zapped. Their
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: strength is zapped on a daily basis. They collapse at
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: the end of the day. Um, so I think it,
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: you know anyway, So I think it's a huge audience.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: I think, yeah, No, I mean I think that this
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: was an important episode, filled with so many things, as
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: they all are. I mean, I feel like I'm so
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: propetitive that each week, I'm like, is that a lot
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: in it? Like, but they do. They pack a lot
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: in there. And that's because there's eighty pages of stuff
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: in forty minute of air time. So it's probably you know,
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: a third more than you know, a third to more content, dialogue, narrative, storylines,
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: characters than any other our show. We got them all.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: I mean we didn't even talk about Roun you know,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: and it was hysterical. I mean, the comedy that that
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: guy delivered. It's just like it's you know, it's like
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: a really good play. Yeah, it's what if it's just
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: you can't you can't do that stuff on television. Who
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: even attempts to do these kinds of like Laurel I
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: walking in? You know, you know, first of all, you know,
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: Melissa sets it up because she's she doesn't know what's
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: wrong with the sauce and it's missing something. And then
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: Laurel I walks in, and she goes and and Suki
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: goes what and they look at naked room, naked room.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: Then we cut there. It's like it's insanity. You do
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: that in place. You don't do that on television. You
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: don't try to do that on television because you don't
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: have the skill level on set to do it or
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: the writing talent to do it. But they do it.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: There's so much happening this. They are writing place, they're
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: writing one act place, well not one act, many acts. Um,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: but I you know, I think what they're attempting there
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: to do, um. You know, it's it's really more like
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: live theater than anything I've ever seen. Interesting. Yeah, Danielle,
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: it's my moment, it's your moment, all right, This is
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: Danielle I'm filling in for Riley and this is your
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: pop culture. So the first pop culture reference is when
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Laura Lee and Suki were talking about how crazy they
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: were for continuing with the dinner and Laura legoes, we're
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: beyond crazy. We're Anne Hey speaking her secret language to
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: God and looking for the spaceship in Fresno crazy. And
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: then they spoke the language like like Suki had a
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: line and then laurelized line in that that alien language.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: I fell off the couch. I was laughing so hard.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: My wife came in and said, are you okay? I mean,
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: that was like the best line of the whole show
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: right there. So for those that don't know. And Haiti
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: is an American actress, director, and screenwriter. And this this
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: reference is in reference to something she actually said. Um
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: She said on her radio show that she was under
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: the influence of magic mushrooms the night she met her
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: ex girlfriend Ellen Dejenners, and also during an interview with
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: Barbara Walters, he stated that she had an alter ego
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: named Celestiaea and she's from the planet Clat two. No
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: spoke a language called Clat two and then she would
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: speak that cling clinkling she spoke the language that was
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: that was in the headline, that was the entertainment that
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: was in the headlines for for for weeks and flips
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: out and then she's speaking in tongues, right and then suky,
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: you gotta love it. That was the best. That was
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: the highlight of the show. So far from me right
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: there those two. Oh god, God, sorry, okay, next one, Um,
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: this is when the guest arrived for dinner. At the end,
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: Rory goes, nice looking lady, and Laura Le goes, hmm,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: like a young Tammy Faye Baker. So. Tamma fay Mesner
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: was an American evangelist, singer, author, talk show host, and
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: television personality. She was known for her over the top makeup. Um.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: When asked what she wanted to be remembered for shortly
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: before she died, Tammy replied, my eyelash and in an
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: interesting twist that makes this reference super topical right now,
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield recently released a movie, The
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: Eyes of Tammy Faye. H Okay, we'll be watching out
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: for that one. It's already released. Check it out. Um. Okay,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: Rory suggests giving one of the rooms to Richard and
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: Rory goes, I thought maybe a certain depressed man and
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: his wife would stay there, and Loria le Goes Woody
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: and Sunny. Sunny is the adopted daughter of actress Mia
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: Farrow and musician Andre Preben and the wife of filmmaker
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: Woody Allen. Woody had a relationship with Mia Farroh, who
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: adopted Sunny yikes, and Mia Farrow became Alan's mother in
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: law when he married Sunny. And again this is topical
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: because just last year, Mia Faro's documentary was also released,
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: um Okay, Next Up. Lori Lae and Rory talked about
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: what will cheer Richard up and Loria le goes, I'll
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: send him a Deaf Jam comedy tape. So Deaf Comedy
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: Jam is an HBO television series produced by Russell Simmons.
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: Deaf Comedy Jam meaning excellent in rapp Lingo. Simmons is
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: the third wealthiest personality in hip hop, with a net
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: worth a three fifty million dollars uh. He practices yoga,
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: which encourages vegetarianism and social and environmental activism. Only people
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: with a lot of money can tell me how to live.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: Mari and Babette show up to the inn for dinner,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: and more goes Charlie. Charlie Parker was late to everything.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: And Charlie Parker, named Bird or Yardbird, was an American
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: jazz saxophonist, band leader, and composer. His nickname is a
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: nod to the fact that he really really loved chicken.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: I love it more, never took those shades off. Wait minute,
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: Wait a minute. The greatest line, I think number two,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: or it might be typher Number one is when Babette
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: said them, Darling more, don't you understand Charlie Parker had
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: more drugs in him than a rite aid. Next one,
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: Suki cooks up a storm for the dinner. U Suki
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: goes no, it tastes two twenties century guys, It's got
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: a shout Washington Irving not Irving my a koind and
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: needs something? Help me? What is it? And then the
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: infamous salt line, um well she Shehington Irving was an
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: American short story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: the nineteenth century. One of the great linguistic legacies of
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: his work was that it gave us the name Knickerbocker.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: Irving also gave us Gotham. It was he who first.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: It was he who was the first person to refer
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: to New York City as Gotham City. I thought that
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: was fascinating. Just me, okay. Next up, Loria Leon Luke
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: are in the sleigh and Loria le goes giddy up. Ah,
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: the horses heard me. I speak horse language. I'm doctor Doolittle. Um.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy portrayed Doctor Doolittle in the movie, based on
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: the series of children's book. Eddie is terrified of live
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: animals and insisted that as many as possible be superimposed
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: digitally in the scenes when he couldn't avoid acting in
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: the same room as an animal. The shots frequently ended
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: with Murphy screaming, right, I love that, But he did
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: Doctor Doolittle ms, he doesn't, He's afraid of me. Next one,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Emily comes to stay the night in Rory and Loria
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: lies room and loriaa goes like sands through the hour glass.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: So are the Gilmore's of Our Lives. So obviously this
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: is in reference to Days of Our Lives and Days
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: of Our Lives has been on since nine. In a
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: fascinating twist, John Anniston, Jennifer Andison's dad who played Victor
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: on Days of Our Lives since five is coming soon
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: to go more girls in season three, so everybody be
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: on the lookout. Yeah, we'll circle there. Lorli and Rory
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: talked about the movies they're going to watch over Christmas
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: break and Rory goes, oh, we have to run Godfather
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: three on DVD. The god Oh. Scott's excited for this one.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: Go ahead, you go. I have a lot of personal
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: stories connected to the Godfather Part three. I had. I
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: had a theater company in New York and there was
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: a guy one of my buddies, my best buddies at
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: the time, uh, and he's of Italian heritage and he uh,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: I knew the casting director for The Godfather Part three,
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: and he came to the he came to a rehearsal
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: for the theater commery system leaving for Italy. I just
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: scored a major part in Godfather Part three and we
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, congratulations. That were all jealous
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: as hell. So he goes off and shoots the movie
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: for months and months and months. Long story short, comes back,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: he goes to premiere tuxedo with his girlfriend, the whole thing,
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: and then he calls me the next day and he says, uh,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: they cut me out of the whole thing. I was
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: only in one scene in some cafe and all you
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: could see was my nose. He said, I spent all
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: that time over there, you know, and all you could
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: say was my nose. Um. Anyway, yes, that that was
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: a big controversy when Coppola cast his own daughter. Apparently
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: the stories were the Piccino and Diane Keaton went to
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: Francis and said, you can't do this, but he said,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: it's my film. I'm gonna do it. I got a
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: good al Pacino um reference or not reference, but trivia
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: for you. So al Pacino has offered five million dollars too,
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: replies reprises role as Michael, but Pacino wanted seven million
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: plus a percentage of the gross, and Coppola refused. He
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: threatened to rewrite. He threatened to rewrite the script by
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: starting the story with Michael's funeral sequence instead of the
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: film's introduction. So eventually Pacino agreed to the five million
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: dollar offers. What would the movie have been without him?
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: Godfather Part three? He's a Godfather? How do you think
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: sure I've seen any Godfather's Oh stop it think I'm
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: oh for three. You've never seen the Godfather movies? Think
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: those are the two greatest American film maybe the two
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: greatest films ever made? Have you, Daniel? Um? You know
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: I might have seen parts of three. I don't think so,
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: But I have no idea what y'all are like really
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: talking about with the story. Okay, you gotta watch him over.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: This is Godfather where they said once you get in,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: you can never get out. And now it's the say
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: hello to my little friend that he says that in three, No,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: three to three, Yeah, you know, says that. In three
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: he says, I was almost don't they pull you back in? Yeah?
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: I was right. Three was panned, like you cannot It
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: was no good. It was panned. The critics hated it too.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Two was a lot of critics said too was better
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: than one wo. So then number three. One was one
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: was a perfect movie. The first one was a perfect film.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: The second one wasn't even more perfect. Film. Three was
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: just a giant turd. You know, I'm sorry, but you
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: know what. Still still very watchable, Yeah, still very watchable.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: I mean there's some good stuff in there. I mean
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: Andy Garcia is in there, and Joe Montane is in there.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: I would say I'll give it a try, but I'm like,
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: so backlogged, and just watch the first two and then
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: watch that one and so you get the contrasting. So
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: many things ahead of it on my list. Just let
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: you know, just being honest, it's not you can't go
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: through life as a cultured person that you are. We
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: know you are. You've read all the best books, you
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: read the Harvard Classics, You've read them. All you've got
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, I have a list of shows I've
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: got to have to No, no, that these aren't shows.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: These are gotta do. This is artwork, this is living artwork.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: This is part of our culture. I gotta do Succession.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: I gotta do yellow Stone. For God's sake. You gotta
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: see Godfather. I want to do Superman and Lois that
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: looks super good. Does it's on the w all Americans?
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: I like, I like to w Okay. So you will
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: never see cinematography. I never said never at the level
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: that you will see it in Godfather one too. You
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: will never see such beautifully framed lit shots. Paintings of
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: those first two Godfather films look like paintings. That's right
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: by my house in Tahoe. Godfather to Yeah, gorgeous. Every
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: frame was all this YouTube those scenes, Danielle. I was
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: just gonna say, you know that we have another movie

- 1:15:22Speaker 1: both of those are pretty about since the fact that
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: we have been recording for an hour and a half,
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the last and final one. Jessin
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: Rory are in the sleigh and jessicaes. It definitely has
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: the most personality, kind of looks like New York and
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: unless you lived under a rock, you remember when she
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: walked to the red carpet in a Swan dress the
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: seventy third Academy Awards on March one. Um, So definitely personality.

- 1:16:32Speaker 1: she's totally losing her mind over Christopher. Mike couldn't even
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: recreate it, but she's like between the My favorite line
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: was Laura La speaking in the Clatu language back to Suki.
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: I can't even attempt to repeat what she said, but
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: it was literally, for me, the highest comic comedic moment
