• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Whenever there's a film by Kirk, I'm so there for it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's just too funny for words,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and that may have been the best film by Kirk
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: ever made. That might be the one, but anyway, let
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: me let me do this synopsis. Luke learns that Jess
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: is flunking out of school and ask Roy to tutor him.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But a break during study session takes an unexpected turn
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: right into a poll actually, and that sends Roy to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the emergency room. Directed by Steve Robin, writer Amy Sherman Palladino,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: The Inevitable. So we start out with Taylor coming in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the diner, barging in Laurel I wanting to usurp his power, no,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: actually in his own storet in Dozie's Market as they're
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: choosing or Dosie's tailor, Josie's chosen the Yearling for a
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: movie night, Laurel I ob Jackson and so Taylor is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: just so fed up with gatting resistance that he puts
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: her in charge of selecting this year's movie, that year's movie.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So he complicates things when he gives the list of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: movies available for movie night, and she ends up choosing Yearling. Anyway,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and you know this iconic universe that has been created
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: here easton one of our segment producers and actually starring
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in his own segment on this On this podcast, he's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: spoken to one of Kirk Film's story Mary Lynn Rask.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: She's brilliantly funny, talented Nicole. What do you think is
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: opening movie in the Square night? Is such a fun idea?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been to something like that?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yes? Well, you know, I'm always up for a movie
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: at the pool, you know, any kind of outdoor I
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: went to Clueless and they the premiere of Clueless and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: it was on the beach. Like I love an outside
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: gathering and watching of a movie. It's always a good time.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So you've been in a lot of iconic films in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: your career. If you had to pick one of the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: films that you've been in for Stars Hall of Movie Night,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: what would it be?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I'm not really sure. Okay, I guess I
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: would go with an oldie, but a goodie, rich and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: famous Candice Bergen, Jack Limbusset. Wow, directed by George Coocker. Right,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: go with that one.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: That's a good one.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: It was a fun movie. So, yeah, I played a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: young Meg Ryan. I remember Conic for me?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was oh wow. All right, Jess, this is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a big episode for Jess. He's got some issues. Luke
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: has to go on the principal and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: tells me or Luke that Jess, as smart as he is,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is flunking out. He just stinks showing up. He's not
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: putting in the effort. And nobody cares how smart you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: are if you don't show up and put in the effort. So,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you know, Luke confronts him about it, and and Jess
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: just kind of blows him off and has that devastating
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: line as he's leaving, well maybe I'll end up a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: diner owner, you know What's just like wow, you want
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to smack him or what. Luke then asked Rory if
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: she will tutor Jess, and she agrees, and this sets
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in motion this major storyline and he's kind applications. Nicole,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: do you think I mean, it's it's pretty obvious that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Rory feels something for Jess. Or do you think that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it's more about for Rory, more about rebellion?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Listen. I think he is very entrepreneurial. I think he's
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: a kid that I would like in real life. He's
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: not that into school, that's okay. I think he's putting
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: in the effort and I think he's willing to put
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: in the effort anywhere that is not at school or
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: that he's not told. So if he's interested in her
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: or not, maybe maybe the idea of it, it's just
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: it's something he knows he's not supposed to be doing.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: So I feel like he's all in right.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Well, he's very cleverly positioning himself as you know, the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: next guy in her life. You know, he's not I mean,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: he's being pushy, but at the same time not being
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: too pushy. He's being laid back and aggressive at the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: same time, you know. And and it's it's fun to watch,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, it's fun to watch her just sort of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: eventually kind of see him and look at him and like, hmm,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: this guy made me smile. She smiles a couple of times.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: She really approves of this at a certain point.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And I think we see him listen and get her
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: too a little bit, Like he starts to appreciate her
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: and like for what her values and what you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: she's interested in, and it sort of wakes that part
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: of him up too.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, these two, these two are nervous around one another.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: He's playing it really cool. She's playing it trying to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: play it cool, but they just you know, they're falling.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: They're falling for each other, and it's kind of it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: nice to watch, isn't it? Well acted, well written, beautifully written,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and you know you just man, I found myself just
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: sort of going right into the screen and like, yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: all right, this is gonna work. These guys really, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: they they they make each other nervous and it's fun
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to watch. So Luke tries to avoid telling Larela about
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: asking Rory to be the tutor. If he knew what
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it make her up, that it would make her upset,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: why did he still ask?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Well, she's a bit of a helicopter parent, right, so
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I feel like she's gonna she's gonna say no, even
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: if it's a good idea for him not you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: it's always better to ask for forgiveness, right than to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: ask her permission. I don't know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I think they're both justified. I think she's right and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he's right. He doesn't want just to fail, so he's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: gonna ask Rory, and yeah, I'm for that, And and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Laura is gonna bat him away because you know, she
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: knows what he is. She knows he's trouble. She knows
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna app well, so they're kind of both
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in the right. Yeah. Yeah, I think Rory, to answer
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: this question, is excited to spend more time with Jess.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: She's just being she's just trying to play it, play
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it off in front of her mother. But but she
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: sees it. Laurel I sees it, and it's like, kid,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you're not fooling me. She's and Laurel is in a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: tough spot. She knows there's really nothing she can do
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: or say to stop it. She can just try to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: mitigate the dam I'm make sure the time spent on
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: funny scene in the Dina when she's delaying leaving, not
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: allowing the tutorial to begin, and Jess sees that. You know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he works that into his routine, all right, the tutoring session.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: The actually we have you ever been so excited to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: see a tutoring session on television. It's like, you know
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen, you know, just he does just
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: about everything to not study, and it's driving Rory a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: little bit crazy. And then they go for an ice cream.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: They take a little study break and in the car,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Rory asks Jess White doesn't try and school. He's so
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: much potentially so smart. Obviously, he says there's He says
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: there's no point because he isn't going to college and
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that I don't know how that make you feel.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not a I don't think you need
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: to go to college anymore. I don't think that if
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you want to go and you know what you want
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: to study, great, If you don't, you can still be
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: very successful in life without it. So that's where I
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: stand on the subject.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Rory tells jes her plans to go into Harvard and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: becoming a journalist. He tells her her plans seem a
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: little too rough for her being a war correspondent or
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: wanting to have Christian Poor's career, and she's she's not
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: She's not tough enough for that. That's too rough for her.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: What do you think of that?
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a whole other conversation to be had, right,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: But you know, the funny thing about it is, I
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: feel like maybe she didn't really think about it, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: she had a moment of like, oh, maybe I didn't
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: put a lot of thought into that part of it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: There was that aspect she had a moment of like, yeah,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I didn't really think about all of that, but you
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: know he needs to be straightened out. Women women can
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: do this job.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I say, can, and they must. So Jess actually
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: gives Worthy the option of going back to Luke's study
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: or turning right to drive around a little more. He
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: really wasn't offering her an option. He was just enticing
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: her to more fun banter, which of course she agreed to.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: So she tells him to turn right, and and just
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: like Laurel, I was afraid of it's being around Jess
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: influencing Rory to be rebellious.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Well, she shouldn't let him drive. I mean, let's be honest.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: It was her car she's driving, right, women, You know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: women can drive too, They can have these news jobs
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: and they can drive. I mean, I think it's those
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: are the red flags flailing right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe Rory's driving and the action is caused by Jess
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: leaning over to try to kiss her or something. I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not going to rewrite it. Rory seems
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: drawn to Jess's edge here, and you can really see
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: it in this scene, in her silence and the way
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: she looks at him. I mean, did you go through
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a bad boy face? Do most women go through a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: bad boy face? Or what is that all about? What
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: is Jess's function in her life here? I mean, what
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is going on with this kid?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Right? I think everybody has to experience one. You have
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: to to know that it's bad, to know that it's
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: not for you. You know, you have to give into that
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: enticing bad boy, but you know you soon realize it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: it's not the way and good guys are are the
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: better option. Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Well, now she's at the hospital and she calls her
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: mother and she's gotten into an accident with Jess swerving
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to avoid hitting an animal Okay, a squirrel or a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: rat or whatever it was. Uh, Laurel. I rushed at
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the hospital and the doctor tells her Rory's wrist is fractured.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: That's a little bit devastating for a parent, you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that's like what could have happened? What could have been
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: got away with a fractured wrist? The house severe? Could
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it have been Nicole or you? Calm and Christ, this
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: is the crises.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I am now at this point in my life. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: don't think you could throw much more at me. And
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: yes now I am, but for a long time.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: No, uh huh, Hey, everybody, make sure to catch me
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: on the convention circuit on September fifth, sixth, and seventh.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I'll be a Smoky Mountain FanFest in Kingsport, Tennessee. A
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Weekend in the Life in New Milford, Connecticut, September twelfth, thirteenth,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and fourteenth. Yes, I will be there on the thirteenth
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that Saturday, New Milford, Connecticut, Destination Stars Hollow in Brighton, Michigan,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: September twenty and possibly the twenty first. Hope to see
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: everybody there. And it was a nice scene in the hospital, again,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: very very well written. We really see how much she cares,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: how angry she is, and now she's she's going, she's
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: she's leaving the hospital and she's going somewhere. We don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: know where she's going, but we figured she's going to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: go look for for Jess because she she's gonna open
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: up a can of what bess on him. But she
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and she touched. But she goes to Luke's to find him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Where is he? Gotta tell you that was a really
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: fun scene. That was a fun scene because we you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Lauren and I had a lot of on screen conflict
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: but that was particularly fun because it was physical because
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I was trying to stop her and I had to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: she was rushing upstairs, and you know, those scenes are
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: always kind of fun. They're so fast paced and there's
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: energy and you got to keep the energy going, and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just a lot of fun to do.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And she was fun to do them with, because man,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: that's like a nuclear power plant you're working with right there.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: So she runs into Luke tells him it's all his
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: fault for bringing Just Starts home and pushing Rory and
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: just together. He apologizes for what just did to Roy,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: but he tells Laura that he needs to find Jess
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to make sure he is okay. So he's concerned about
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: his nephew. Laura, I tells Luke to go to how
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they have it out in the town square, and he
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: comes back at her, you know, like he just says
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: right back at you, and he leaves and he finds
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: just by a laking's just smoking a cigarette and he's
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: really down in the mouth. And nice, nice tender scene,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: very very It really made me see Jess who he
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: was and how lonely he was and how difficult his
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: life has been. And how he just I don't know,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: he needed Luke. It was a really sweet scene. What
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: do you think of that? It's a heated moment between
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Luke and Laurel. I again, wonderful to work in those
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: kinds of scenes with actors of this caliber. And I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: think the question here, Nicole, would you or would I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: have reacted the same way as laurla did after an
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: accident like that with our kid? Or is she being
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: unreasonable yelling it looked like that. What do you think?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, yes and no. It's like she is concerned,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: she knew, she saw the red flags. She didn't want
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: this to happen. She had that mother's intuition that this
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: was bad, bad, bad, she called it, and she was right,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: you know. So there's that part of it. Then there's
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: the other part of like, yeah, really not nothing terrible happened,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Nothing outrageous happened. They had a little accident. Things like
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: this happened. You got to get through them. So in
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the moment, you're gonna be upset, Yeah, you're gonna be
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: upset your kid just was in a car accident.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: These are relationship killers, though, right, These are those moments
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: where those fights break out and everything gets ugly and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, wow, I am on the other side of this,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't know who this person is or why
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: they're talking to me that way. And I was just
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: trying to do right for my nephew, you know, and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: he needed it, and you know, stuff happens, but I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: don't know. I think I would have popped too.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these are the moments where you have to not
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: speak right, you have to go take time and cool
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: off and then come back. But we don't have that
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: kind of time on a TV show, No we do.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: We got we got to get to the commercial when
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: they had commercials. Well, do you think Luke's reaction was
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: also warranted or was it a little?
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, this is this is the story of two things
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: are true here. You know, they're each looking out for
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: the best interests of the kid, and they're very different interests.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Right right, Well, Jess does say at the bridge that
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: he made sure Rory was okay. He knows that he
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: stepped in it now and it's bad and he knows that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And the sad thing is, you know how well we'll
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: get to that, but how he left he left town,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: that's very sad, and you know, Yeah, I think it
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: was a way of just showing his love for her
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: in a way, right and saying he's sorry to Luke
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: all in one. He doesn't know what to do. He's
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: just overwhelmed with his own feelings. Poor kid. Yeah, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: it just, you know, that scene just made me focus
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: on that question. You know, how do you punish a kid?
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: You know, seventeen sixteen, you know, and so many kids
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: get in trouble and they you know, their passions overwhelmed them,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and they get in these situations and like who gets
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: thrown away? Who gets thrown in jail? Who gets tossed aside?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, I just kept thinking there ought
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to be a law against bad parents. Too many laws
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: against bad kids, not enough laws against bad parents. So anyway,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: all right, now we have Christopher. Christopher shows up on
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the scene. He's very concerned. Lorelei calls Chris. He becomes
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: very concerned, so he drives Star Soliby with Laurlai and Rury.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: He wakes up next to Laurlei in Rory's room, sleeping
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: on a chair with his daughter asleep in the bed
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: with a cast on her arm. You know, they apologize
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to each other about that fight they had in the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: diner in the previous episode or a couple episodes back
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: when when you know, Christopher thought she was being condescending
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and he really just laid her out right and you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: right in front of look too, and not one of
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: his finest moments. I think, I mean, maybe somewhat justify
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but he really took it far. Does
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: this make him redeemable? What he's doing now? It seems
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: like this character always shows up at very convenient times
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: when things are so bad for Luke and Laurel. I
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: but what do you think, is this guy redeemable?
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Everybody's redeemable? I want to believe. I want to believe,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: but you know, you know it's yes, he's showing up.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I just I would hate to see what happened. If
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: something really serious happens, like you know this is, if
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: it takes a fractured risk to bring them together, then
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: so be it, right? Right?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: How many fathers out there that are dealing with all
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: kinds of issues, right whatever whatever they might be, and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they've been schmucks for fifteen years and out of the picture,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and then one day they show up and they say
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm going to try and I and I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and I want to love and I and I'm sorry.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Who's going to say no? And that's power, that's power.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: That's powerful. But it's yeah, it's up to the kid, right,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the kids. So you're right about that. It's up to
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the kid. So if it's okay for the kid, then
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: it's okay. If if the kid says it's okay, then
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: it's okay. But then the then the other parent has
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to step in and say, whoa wait a minute, is
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: this really the best thing? So there are all those
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: questions flying around. But I think in this situation, it's like,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: why why would you deny him an opportunity? If he's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: he's turned over a new leaf, you know, and really
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: wants to be in and and make up for lost time.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: We would want to see that in every every delinquent father.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: We want to see that in every single one of them.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: So anyway, you get the sense the call that Christopher
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: is not terribly happy in his relationship and he sees
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: this as a real opportunity to kind of get back
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: into her good graces because he's really he's fighting it
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: uphill battle.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he really is, but any effort is good effort.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm a single mom. I come from a
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: place where I would appreciate that effort. And you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: it's family forever. It's one of those things like you
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: you think it's not, but it is. It's forever, and
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: you're going to forever love that person because your child
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: is made up of half of that person's Can you
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: see that person in your child every day so that
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: you can't help but love each other. So it's good
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: to cut through the bs, right right?
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I agree? All right, Now we get to the greatest
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: moment in Gilmore Girl's history, which is a film by Kirk.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: It's a short film, and Lorala I chooses to grant
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Kirk his ask of, you know, being the opening band
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: for the Yearling. Okay, he's going to open up for
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the Yearling with a short film that he's been working
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: on for five years and if he rushes, he could
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: probably get it finished in a couple of days. Of
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: my law, I just can't take it. He's so funny.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: That character is so funny. Chris attends the festival and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: with Rory and they and they both say they like
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: having Christopher around. He's there he's at in the town Square,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: sitting in a chair watching this bizarre film by Kirk
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and love it every minute of it. And then Laura
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and Rory overhear Miss Patty and be Bet saying that
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Luke sent Jess back home to his mom. What a moment,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: What a moment? Luke sends just home? Must have been
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a difficult choice for him.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Do we think it was a mutual agreement, because again
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: we're hearing this gossip ye secondhand, right, do we think
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: that Luke really just gave up and sent him home?
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Or do you think they had a you know, a
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: mutual understanding and agreement that maybe it was best for
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: him not to stay there. And I was really heartbreaking.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: That's a heartbreaking part for me. I didn't.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that for me is an example of great
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: writing because we don't know and we speculate and we
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: participate in it, right, And I'm just like, what was
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that scene? Like, we didn't see that scene, right, it
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't written, but man, we wrote it in our heads
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and it's a different scene for everybody. And what was it?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And isn't that great? You know, not just so clever? Well,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: you think Luke did it for Laurel, I you think
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: maybe that's a possibility. I mean it is. But what
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: do you think happened there? What happened on that doc? Yeah,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that's that's what happened on Did he say you got
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: to go? Or did he wait till the next morning
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: he says you got to go.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I would like to think he didn't say you have
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: to go. I would like to think that they both
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: said maybe it's best, like this is probably better if
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I don't involve myself here anymore and move on, because
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: I would hate to think that Luke would break his
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: heart like that and just also discard him after the
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: conversation they just had.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right? But what's he going back to?
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not a choice, right, this is this
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: is my sister can't handle it. He can't, She can't
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: handle him. She can't handle her own appetites. You know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it's not a good situation.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: No, But then does Luke sort of also have some
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: of those characteristics because maybe he can't handle it either.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: He's like, Okay, this is too much for me.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Life gets tough here, right, Let's get
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that life gets tough. You think if Jess had stayed,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Luke and Laurel I would have still have this big
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: wedge between them.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Well, well, we don't know, right, I mean, this could
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: have brought them closer together, could have created another war,
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: We don't know.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: You think that that temperature is too much for this show?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Just stays, Laurel is offended, there's ice, there's stairs, they
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: don't well, they don't go to the diner anymore, oh okay,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: or Laurel I has to just sort of really make
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: these overtures to get back into sort of a normal
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: flow of her day or her life, knowing that you know,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Luke didn't care. I mean, I don't know, right.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Right, And it's like it's like the their relationship and
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: then the kids are like the mini me of them, right,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: They're like the little mirrored And if Rory and Jess
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: had got together, then you know, this could lead into
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: a whole mess too, because it could get Rory off
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: track and you know, yeah, this could be disastrous.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: It's like it's just too much. Jess was just it
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: was too much. It was like the kid was just
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: screwing up all over the place. How many chances do
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you give a kid? Right?
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's well, you give them all the chances think,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I I you know you can't go messing
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: up everybody else's life too, Go figure it out.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: That's where I guess Luke drew the line. Now you're
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: messing up. It's like, you can mess with me. I
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: can handle it, but it starts bleeding out into my
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: friendships and my relations with the people I love. Now
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: we have a real problem because that's just outright disrespect,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: disrespect me in my home. I can handle that. I
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: can deal with that. I know you're a kid in pain.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: You mess up my friends, that's where you teach the lesson.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Go learn, come back with some growth, right, better person.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of fallout from this incident.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I think I already know the answers. But would you
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: forgive Jess?
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Yes I would, I definitely would. But I get it
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: because it's not only messing with Luke's friendship, it's the
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: friendship with a child too, right, it's another child's life.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: So now that he's he's bringing this bad influence around
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: and he doesn't want to be responsible for that. But
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: in real life, in real life, we've got to give
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: them all the chances.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Chess is not valuing any of these people. He's not
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: valuing any of these relationships. He's just trying to get inside.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: He's the guy who can't handle anybody else except his target,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and his target is Rory, and he thinks Rory's going
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to save him, and that's not going to happen. He
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't know that yet. Guys like that don't know that
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: she's not going to save you. All that's going to
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: happen is you're gonna mess her up. She's gonna dump you,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna be an intense pain. Nothing is. You'll
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: grow from that, but you're not gonna learn as much.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Agreed.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Were you gonna miss Jess?
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I mean yes, I kind of like it's you know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: it's the whole Luke and Lorelei in many versions.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: They have such a great chemistry those two. Isn't it wonderful?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I just I just love their scenes together. There's that
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: suck great. Yeah, all right, let's talk about you, Nicole.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: You played Aubrey in season two, episode seven, Like Motherlike Daughter.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: What do you remember about filming that day? You weren't nervous?
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're a prose pro right.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean it's always a little nerve racking,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: right going onto a set, especially an established set where
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: everybody knows each other, need to really know anybody, and
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: you're only there for a short period of time. So
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: there's that part. But that's exciting too, and it was
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: a fun character. The writing is fantastic, like it just
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: it was a good time. It wasn't all around good time.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: But what was it like working that scene with Lauren?
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't, you know, I actually didn't have a lot
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: with her, Unfortunately I didn't. But she's you know, she's approached.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: It's so great to watch her, and everybody in the
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: scene was fantastic there. I got to be around a
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: lot of great actresses. So yeah, it's a fun day.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: So compare that experience on Gilmore Girls to your time
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: on shows like Charles and Charles and bay Watch. Similar,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: completely different.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Well just like Baywatch, you know.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Lots of bathing suits and yeah, yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: The first thing that came to mind, just like jay.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Watch, especially Gilmore Girls was inspired by Baywatch. There's a
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: rescue seeing out at sea.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Very different, controlled environment, lovely, yeah, very different. But I
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: would imagine walking on to like a set of Baywatch
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: would be intimidating too, because complete chaos, you know, chaos
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: and action and different crews happening, and it's Yeah, So did.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I do enough sit ups?
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Do I have to take my shirt off?
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I can't eat very much at lunch. This sucks, you
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: know what's going on? Yeah? Since having your daughter, has
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: your perspective or feelings about the show changed?
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Well, I have two children and they are light years
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: apart from each other. They're thirteen years apart. So I've
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: been very two very different parents. I very different, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm I'm very I'm way more laid back,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: and I'm much more about go experience at all. Go
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: go experience it and let's talk about it after. I
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: don't helicopter a lot. So yeah, I have a very
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: different approach. Although with my oldest back then, I probably
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: would have been. I probably was much more trying to
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: be in control of it and trying to, you know,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: maneuver things. But I have learned in my life that
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: that is not possible or healthy for any of us. Yeah.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Does your daughter and any of our friends watch Gilmore?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Do they recognize your episode when it pops up?
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, which is hilarious. My fourteen year old, not my oldest,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: but my fourteen year old. Yes, one of her best
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: friends was sitting in the back seat the other day
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: and she's like, and there you are. Gilmore Girls, my
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: favorite show, and there you are. And you know we laugh, yes,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: because I'm the mom that carpools everybody. You know.
• 32:58

  Speaker 1: I've done that. I mean I just got out. You know,
