- 0:32Speaker 3: I was at dreary duty And for those who don't know,
- 0:35Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys mentioned it, but I
- 0:36Speaker 3: was literally chosen to be juror number five.
- 0:41Speaker 2: We didn't we didn't talk in great detail about it,
- 0:44Speaker 2: but we did tell the world that you were on.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, it's so funny. Everyone I talked to
- 0:48Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know anyone who's been on jury duty.
- 0:50Speaker 1: I'm like, well, now you do, because clearly I got picked.
- 0:53Speaker 3: So it was it was interesting. It was kind of
- 0:59Speaker 3: cool to say I did it. I would prefer to
- 1:01Speaker 3: never do it again. Yeah, it's just kind of like consuming.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Actually, and we'll jump right into the episode, but I'll
- 1:08Speaker 3: say real quick, there was when we were wrapping up
- 1:12Speaker 3: the case, like second to last day, the other courtroom
- 1:17Speaker 3: on our floor there was like one hundred people and
- 1:21Speaker 3: we're like, oh, they're probably picking the jury. And someone
- 1:24Speaker 3: in the bathroom during our break mentioned that that trial
- 1:27Speaker 3: was going to be an eight month murder case. Oh
- 1:30Speaker 3: my gosh, and I was like, how in the world
- 1:34Speaker 3: do people like, yeah, I don't think I would have
- 1:37Speaker 3: a job, like I can't.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I can't leave this for eight months. Yea, mind you.
- 1:41Speaker 3: I was still kind of working before and after jury duty,
- 1:45Speaker 3: like for things that like obviously things like this like
- 1:48Speaker 3: Jackie covered me, things that like I need to cover
- 1:50Speaker 3: could be covered.
- 1:50Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know how people can make that
- 1:54Speaker 2: commitment like that.
- 1:55Speaker 3: No idea. Yeah, but anyway, let's get into Gilmore girl
- 1:58Speaker 3: watching the floor. I were here, Yeah, we're watching season four,
- 2:02Speaker 3: episode sixteen, the Raining Lorelei, which aired on March second,
- 2:06Speaker 3: two thousand and four. And I loved Emily in this episode.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Yes, this was yeah, and we just are coming off
- 2:17Speaker 2: of scene in the Mall, which was another you know,
- 2:20Speaker 2: Emily centric episode, right, He's just amazing, Like Kelly Bishop
- 2:25Speaker 2: really deserved some kind of a ward.
- 2:27Speaker 3: I didn't realize because I watched to catch up from
- 2:29Speaker 3: where you guys left off.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I didn't realize that it was the Mall episode.
- 2:32Speaker 3: And then this back to back because I binged through
- 2:35Speaker 3: it and I was like, oh wow, it was back
- 2:36Speaker 3: to back.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's great. The whole cigarette and the drink
- 2:43Speaker 2: and the book so funny, Yeah.
- 2:45Speaker 4: So good.
- 2:45Speaker 3: It made me think that because we only see Penalin
- 2:48Speaker 3: Lot once in this show. Yes, we talked about it
- 2:53Speaker 3: should be a drinking game. How many times her name
- 2:56Speaker 3: is mentioned? Like it blew my mind because we did
- 2:59Speaker 3: talk about how she's only been in one episode it
- 3:01Speaker 3: was at the game, and but.
- 3:04Speaker 1: We hear about her all like she just never goes away.
- 3:07Speaker 2: And it was so funny the way she kept saying
- 3:10Speaker 2: penal Lot, like she emphasizing the p.
- 3:13Speaker 1: It was honestly, what a great name, Like, what a
- 3:16Speaker 1: great character name.
- 3:18Speaker 3: I kind of wish that she actually had more of
- 3:20Speaker 3: like a role, because I just love her.
- 3:23Speaker 1: It's just such a good name for a character.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we could have had so much more unhinged
- 3:29Speaker 2: Emily if we'd had more Penalan Lot.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would have preferred that. I would have
- 3:35Speaker 1: preferred that.
- 3:37Speaker 3: I will say, even though we loved Emily, Rory kind
- 3:39Speaker 3: of was annoying this episode.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Yes, well whiney to me, Yeah, yeah, she tends to.
- 3:48Speaker 2: She tends to fall into that the whining thing. I
- 3:51Speaker 2: don't know, I'm not I don't know what it is
- 3:53Speaker 2: about her, but yeah, she was. I agree, she was
- 3:56Speaker 2: kind of bugging the part.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Where she should we be crying like like that part, like
- 3:59Speaker 1: should I be? I was like, okay, come on now. Yeah,
- 4:03Speaker 1: it was just a little odd.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Yeah, that kind of fell a flat for me. Yeah.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Yeah, and the whole weird thing with Michelle and the
- 4:11Speaker 2: dog show.
- 4:12Speaker 4: I don't know that.
- 4:13Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie to you. I forgot about that
- 4:16Speaker 3: the episode was over. Yeah, it felt like a filler,
- 4:20Speaker 3: Like I feel like we could have used those scenes
- 4:22Speaker 3: for anything else.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I wondered because there was the whole thing
- 4:26Speaker 2: at the end of that scene where where she does
- 4:28Speaker 2: the awkward hug with Michelle and she's like, let's never
- 4:31Speaker 2: do that again, And then there was the weird awkward
- 4:33Speaker 2: hug with Richard and Jason yep, and like were they
- 4:37Speaker 2: trying to like draw I don't know, were they trying
- 4:39Speaker 2: to draw up parallel with weird hugs. I don't know
- 4:42Speaker 2: what the point was in that whole That whole scene
- 4:44Speaker 2: was Suki in.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, those were both yeah, same episode. Yeah,
- 4:49Speaker 3: well the Michelle one made sense to me because Michelle
- 4:52Speaker 3: is Michelle like that won the awkward hug.
- 4:54Speaker 1: It made sense.
- 4:56Speaker 3: I feel like I didn't need Jason this episode, Like,
- 4:59Speaker 3: I just I think we could have mentioned him, like, oh,
- 5:02Speaker 3: I have a meeting with Jason or something.
- 5:03Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he was needed.
- 5:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
- 5:07Speaker 2: We already saw Richard having enough of a breakdown that
- 5:11Speaker 2: having like a plugging thing and where he's crying and
- 5:14Speaker 2: all that. It didn't I don't know we already had that, Like,
- 5:17Speaker 2: I don't think we needed Jason there to ye take that.
- 5:19Speaker 1: By the way, Speaking of Richard, I googled mock turtle
- 5:22Speaker 1: soup again because I know we talked about it before.
- 5:24Speaker 1: It still doesn't seem appetizing to me.
- 5:27Speaker 4: It doesn't.
- 5:28Speaker 2: It doesn't really have turtles in it, does it, Like
- 5:30Speaker 2: that's why it's monk.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not. Hold on, I looked it up last week.
- 5:34Speaker 2: What a weird name, Like, why would you why would
- 5:37Speaker 2: you call it that?
- 5:39Speaker 3: It's a long simmered stew of beef, tomato, vinegar and
- 5:45Speaker 3: or lemon juice.
- 5:45Speaker 2: So no, it's just okay, that actually doesn't sound bad.
- 5:49Speaker 2: I'd probably eat that.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I think the photos I looked at like it's one
- 5:52Speaker 3: of those things that like doesn't look like you're gonna
- 5:54Speaker 3: like eh, and then the name of it doesn't really Yeah,
- 5:59Speaker 3: but you know.
- 6:00Speaker 4: Soup, Yeah, I do too, and I like stew but it's.
- 6:05Speaker 3: It's from like the eighteenth century, like it's it's like
- 6:08Speaker 3: an old English soup, so that's what it is.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, so.
- 6:12Speaker 2: That sounds kind of grand like that.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I don't know it honestly worked out.
- 6:17Speaker 3: I just thought it was funny that now, like also sup,
- 6:20Speaker 3: he has to figure out how to make it.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Well, and it was funny that whole scene because she
- 6:26Speaker 2: she says she's gonna make the soup, and then Laura
- 6:29Speaker 2: La says she's gonna go call Rory. But then she
- 6:32Speaker 2: walks in the door at the Gilmour house and the
- 6:35Speaker 2: soup is made already, but she hasn't called Rory yet.
- 6:38Speaker 2: So I don't know that the whole whole timing like
- 6:41Speaker 2: didn't quite match up because she doesn't call Rory until
- 6:43Speaker 2: after she leaves Emily's house, but yet soup was done
- 6:47Speaker 2: instantaneously and.
- 6:49Speaker 1: She's resulting at her phone call.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Yeah, so I don't know.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Another inconsistency I noted was the whole thing about the
- 6:58Speaker 2: fresh clothing because Laurel I said that the instructions said,
- 7:05Speaker 2: I have, I have the exact quote. Laurely's line is
- 7:08Speaker 2: Graham requested that she'd be buried in fresh clothing. Yeah,
- 7:12Speaker 2: but then there's the whole thing about her being cremated.
- 7:15Speaker 2: So is she going to be buried or is she
- 7:16Speaker 2: going to be cremated.
- 7:19Speaker 3: I also that little back and forth about fresh clothing.
- 7:22Speaker 3: I also was like, does it mean clean?
- 7:23Speaker 1: Does it mean new? Like it was so generic?
- 7:26Speaker 2: Yeah, they never they kind of like left.
- 7:28Speaker 1: But she goes to the store and she's looking for
- 7:30Speaker 1: new clothes. I assume I'm at new.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Yeah, but only the underwor I don't know. We don't
- 7:35Speaker 2: know what Laurel I picked for her, other than the
- 7:37Speaker 2: Hello Kitty bracelet, which it's hilarious.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Remember Laurel I with that one.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, so we don't I don't know. There
- 7:46Speaker 4: was a question.
- 7:48Speaker 2: But then she wants to be buried, and I don't know,
- 7:50Speaker 2: maybe she means bury the ashes.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Who knows.
- 7:54Speaker 3: I don't know, but I mean I guess you could non.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Richard says it again at the end of the episode
- 8:03Speaker 2: when he's telling Emily that they don't have to put
- 8:05Speaker 2: her urn on the mantle, right, he says she can
- 8:09Speaker 2: be buried with my dad, So like.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Well does it mean? And I don't I actually don't
- 8:14Speaker 3: know the answer to this. When you're cremated, can you
- 8:16Speaker 3: be cremated with something?
- 8:18Speaker 2: So I googled that because I didn't know either, and
- 8:21Speaker 2: I was like, wait, when they cremate you, is the
- 8:25Speaker 2: is the body naked? Or assume you cremate them in
- 8:28Speaker 2: their clothes? See? I thought so too, But then when
- 8:30Speaker 2: I googled it, it's apparently more common to be cremated
- 8:33Speaker 2: with clothes.
- 8:34Speaker 1: On m okay, so that makes a little bit more sense.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Yeah, And I did also look because I this is
- 8:41Speaker 2: thankfully something I've never had any experience with, Like if
- 8:44Speaker 2: you're cremated, can the ashes be buried or is it
- 8:50Speaker 2: one or the other? And then I think you can, Yeah,
- 8:53Speaker 2: you can bury ashes. So maybe that's what they were
- 8:56Speaker 2: getting at, like maybe yeah, okay, them were supposed to
- 9:00Speaker 2: be on the mantle and then part of them were
- 9:02Speaker 2: going to be buried, but then they Richard said no,
- 9:05Speaker 2: we could bury her with my dad.
- 9:07Speaker 4: But then that's the I don't know.
- 9:08Speaker 3: So if you have a plot, like like for example,
- 9:11Speaker 3: like when my grandpa passed, though my Grandma's still alive.
- 9:14Speaker 3: She she has the plot next to him. Yeah, so
- 9:18Speaker 3: when he passed, she already purchased her plot, which is
- 9:21Speaker 3: just a weird concept to think of.
- 9:22Speaker 1: But she has hers.
- 9:24Speaker 3: But I'm thinking, like, well, if she wanted to get cremated,
- 9:27Speaker 3: she's technically good. And then you bury the ashes, you
- 9:30Speaker 3: just need the spot. Yeah, so interesting. I actually it's
- 9:34Speaker 3: something I never thought about until.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I didn't either until Yeah, I had to google it.
- 9:39Speaker 2: As I was watching this, I'm like, wait, a minute,
- 9:41Speaker 2: how does this song because it seems inconsistent.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I texted this in our group text. But I
- 9:56Speaker 3: thought laurelized like vest sweater thing was so ugly.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Yeah, the black and white kind of argyle.
- 10:04Speaker 1: No, it's red, it's red and black.
- 10:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I met red.
- 10:07Speaker 1: I said white, Yeah, red remind me of clown.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Yeah, and she So somebody commented on I think it
- 10:15Speaker 2: was our last episode or maybe the episode before, because
- 10:18Speaker 2: we missed uh where Laurelized outfit got repeated, so somebody
- 10:22Speaker 2: called that out to us. But this sweater or the
- 10:25Speaker 2: black and red one, she wore it in the episode
- 10:28Speaker 2: where Luke came over.
- 10:28Speaker 4: For movie night.
- 10:30Speaker 2: I don't I can't remember if it was in the
- 10:32Speaker 2: actual movie Night's scene, but I know she was wearing
- 10:35Speaker 2: it in the diner in that episode.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Okay, so with a coat or something. I actually don't
- 10:40Speaker 1: remember it.
- 10:41Speaker 2: I can't she had a white blouse on because I
- 10:44Speaker 2: remember the collar of the blouse kept changing. But I
- 10:48Speaker 2: don't remember the whole outfit in that episode. But but
- 10:53Speaker 2: it did like that attractive.
- 10:54Speaker 3: I didn't know, but I did like that tweet red
- 10:57Speaker 3: and black coat she wore later on. Yes, yes, that
- 11:00Speaker 3: one was really cute. Wish we're going with a red
- 11:02Speaker 3: and black theme apparently. Yeah, it's not the holidays either,
- 11:07Speaker 3: so it was kind of interesting.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's we're in March.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of.
- 11:13Speaker 3: It's not my favorite sweater either, but the sweater or
- 11:17Speaker 3: the jacket, the vest.
- 11:19Speaker 1: The vest, yeah yeah yeah, but the sweater, the the
- 11:22Speaker 1: coat I liked.
- 11:23Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
- 11:25Speaker 3: The only other thing I wrote that I wanted to
- 11:27Speaker 3: flag was I thought that the whole thing in the
- 11:29Speaker 3: beginning with Kirk was actually pretty funny with the fish
- 11:33Speaker 3: pan and then reading I actually because then he's like
- 11:36Speaker 3: does no one trust me? Like he had this line
- 11:38Speaker 3: like someone.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Believe me in this town?
- 11:40Speaker 3: And that's like the one time he was right, Yes.
- 11:43Speaker 3: I thought it was a fun little Kirk moment.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Yes, and he's trying to like translate the lip reading.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Yeah, which was like he was so confident that I
- 11:52Speaker 3: was like, what in the world, so very calm.
- 11:56Speaker 2: So we had three repeat actors in this one. We
- 12:00Speaker 2: know how they liked to recycle their actors, so we
- 12:05Speaker 2: have Okay, so the sales clerk that was in the
- 12:09Speaker 2: lingerie store, she was the hostess at the sixty forty
- 12:13Speaker 2: bar when Emily and Laurla.
- 12:15Speaker 4: Went to the spa.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Oh okay, and they went to that bar and with
- 12:19Speaker 2: Hallandon and yeah, yeah. And then I mean, obviously the
- 12:27Speaker 2: major one is cousin Marilyn is Marion Ross, like I
- 12:30Speaker 2: think I'm hoping everybody knows that. So that was she
- 12:33Speaker 2: was grand and cousin Marylyn. And then the last one,
- 12:38Speaker 2: so the minister that shows up for the funeral. He
- 12:41Speaker 2: actually played two different characters, so this is the third
- 12:46Speaker 2: well this is the second of three times that they
- 12:48Speaker 2: used him.
- 12:49Speaker 4: So he was in season one.
- 12:51Speaker 2: He was one of Richard's friends at the golf club.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Well like episode two, yeah, like.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Episode two or three where they go golf theme room.
- 12:59Speaker 4: Yeah, he was one the guys.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Well he was he was at lunch when at lunch
- 13:03Speaker 2: okay god yeah, after the steam room when they were
- 13:05Speaker 2: having lunch. And then also he was in a Year
- 13:09Speaker 2: in the Life the revival. He was the old guy
- 13:11Speaker 2: that worked at the newspaper at the Star's Hollow Gazette.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Well, they really spread out his three appearances. Yeah, he's
- 13:19Speaker 3: one four in the revival.
- 13:20Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, cool.
- 13:22Speaker 1: It's cool for him to kind of.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Like he passed away earlier this year, so old age.
- 13:27Speaker 4: But yeah he was. Yeah, he was old when he
- 13:30Speaker 4: was on Gilmore.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:31Speaker 1: No, yeah, that's why I was like old ach. But
- 13:33Speaker 1: that's cool to have that and on his on his resume.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Yeah, and then one other thing to look for the
- 13:40Speaker 2: next time you rewatch it. There's a part where I
- 13:45Speaker 2: think Lauren almost breaks character and then she recovers. It's
- 13:51Speaker 2: in the lingerie store. There's a scene. I can't remember
- 13:54Speaker 2: exactly what they're talking about, but it's the back and
- 13:57Speaker 2: forth between her and the sales clerk. And there's a
- 14:00Speaker 2: scene where they cut to like a medium shot and
- 14:03Speaker 2: Lauren starts to laugh and covers her mouth and then
- 14:08Speaker 2: she like pulls it back together. And like, you know,
- 14:11Speaker 2: walks off behind the scene. But yeah, so watch the
- 14:15Speaker 2: next time you watch it, watch Lauren because there's like
- 14:17Speaker 2: a it's real quick where she starts to laugh and
- 14:19Speaker 2: then she puts her hand over her mouth and then
- 14:22Speaker 2: like recovers shock.
- 14:23Speaker 1: They cat that take.
- 14:25Speaker 4: I know I was too.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, maybe it was one of those
- 14:28Speaker 2: that they only did one take. I don't know, but yeah,
- 14:33Speaker 2: that was pretty funny. And then another thing that makes
- 14:37Speaker 2: me laugh every time is the scene where Luke and
- 14:40Speaker 2: Nicole are. It's in the diner and you hear Luke
- 14:43Speaker 2: and Nicole fighting but they haven't come downstairs yet. Yeah,
- 14:46Speaker 2: when Luke comes like busting in and he's all yelling
- 14:48Speaker 2: at them, and Patty's ordering her salad or whatever, she
- 14:51Speaker 2: picks up the marmalade jar and starts eating it with
- 14:54Speaker 2: the little, the little tiny serving spoon that he's like
- 14:57Speaker 2: scooping the marmalade into her mouth.
- 14:59Speaker 1: That's fun just keeping busy over there.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Yeah, She's like, I'm not getting my food anytime soon, so.
- 15:06Speaker 1: I must let me eat well.
- 15:07Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, that's that was probably it. She was
- 15:10Speaker 3: like starving and Luke's over there in the back not
- 15:13Speaker 3: paying attention, right.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Because that's when they went outside to go yell at
- 15:16Speaker 4: each other.
- 15:17Speaker 3: So it was nice to see Lane back in the
- 15:19Speaker 3: in the diner though, Yes, yeah, I like that.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a while since we've seen her there, right, well,
- 15:26Speaker 1: because she was she was.
- 15:27Speaker 2: At Yale with Rory and so I think she came back.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Well, it was the last episode, the episode before when
- 15:35Speaker 3: she was like sleeping on lorale Ice couch.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Yeah, so so in scene in the mall is when
- 15:40Speaker 2: she came back.
- 15:41Speaker 4: So it was the.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Episode before she Yeah, yeah, there we go. So you
- 15:44Speaker 1: you missed that one, but I watched it.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just barely come back because that was the
- 15:49Speaker 2: episode where she went and picked up all her stuff
- 15:51Speaker 2: and Cousins was there and all that.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:54Speaker 4: So yeah, but good, good episode.
- 15:56Speaker 1: It was a good episode.
- 15:58Speaker 4: Yeah. I love Marion Ross, so I'm all happy to
- 16:00Speaker 4: watch her.
