  Speaker 1: I Am all in again. Oh it's you. I Am
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: all in Town meeting with Suzanne French and Tara suit
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: An iHeartRadio podcast. Hey guys, welcome back another episode of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I'm All in Town meeting with myself, Tar and Suzanne. Hello, Hello,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and today we're gonna be talking about season two episode seventeen,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Dead Uncles and Vegetables, which is so literal and it
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: aired on April sixteenth, two thousand and two. I was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: about to start talking to Suzanne about this episode and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait, let's save it. The opening scene why, Like,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: it was just kind of it was funny, but it
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: was also a little annoying because I'm like, well, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: want to hear what Emily was saying, because then I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: did didn't connect the dots that she was coming to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the to the dragonfly No Independence in wait, where are we?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Independence in for a food taste. I was like, because
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: when she's sitting there with a bowl of soups, I'm like,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: when did that happen? I'm like, oh, the voice messages
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: we couldn't hear.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I did not like that opening at all. Yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: it just you it was hard to hear. It was
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: hard to hear Emily because first of all, her her
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: voice was really low, and then Lauren kept talking over
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: her YEP with her own insights, and I don't know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it just seemed like filler to me.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It just didn't see the episode seemed like a filler
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: or the scene.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: So the opening with all the phone messages and I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: guess they're trying to set up that that like that's
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: why Emily shows up at the diner, but they didn't.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think they needed to use a whole scene
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to do that, just had Emily be there and say, oh,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you know, I came, thank you for letting me have
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: this tasting before our meeting next Thursday.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Like they could have just done it that and she
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: could have been like, I mom, I didn't know you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: were coming, and she's like, I left you five voicemail males,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: but we didn't need to hear them.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I just I don't know. It just I
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: didn't care for it that much.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It was very clear that Lauren was just acting to nothing,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and you know that she just was I don't know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: she was by herself anyways. I yeah, opening was super
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: slow for me. And then even after the credits when
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they're talking to Luke and Lorly are on the phone
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: talking about tether Ball, and I don't know, the whole
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: ten first ten minutes to me was just.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Super Yeah, the end was very sweet. The end was
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: ending the episode I just hated in the beginning.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I really liked it. I don't know if I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: like loved it, but the end was very heartwarming. It's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: very this is why we love stars Hollow. These people
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: all support each other. But the rest of it, I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was like, E, like, it's fine, but I didn't really
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't really believe that Suki is now following for
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Emily and not understanding that she's about to spend like
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a million dollars on a wedding. You know. It was
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: things like that where I was like, I don't know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Suki's a little gullible, but she's not dumb right right,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and she.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: She knows the finances of their situation, like she's not
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: going to be ordering mushrooms from Bora Bora, And you know.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, except I did not catch I when
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: she was like you were when Laura lies, like you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: were planning a wedding for me, not Suki and I'm like, oh,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you're right. Like even I like came to that, I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: didn't even think of that at first, and I was like, oh,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I didn't think of that at the time either. Until
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Laurals spelled.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, oh, that was very yeah. But I mean, yeah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it was a cute episode. And I felt really bad
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: at the at the funeral that no one was there.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: It's like that is Yeh's so interesting.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: That nobody was at the funeral, but everybody turned up
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: at the wake with food, and it seems like that
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: would have been more effort to make food than to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: just go to the funeral.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I will say though, I've been to not many funerals
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: but a couple, and I feel like there was sometimes
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: more people at the wake just to be there in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: celebration and they don't want to go to the cemetery,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: which I understand, but also like the wake is kind
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of when you it's you know, you can just just
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: talk and see people and like the story they were telling.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Mind of the story. They were like, he's basically an ass. Yeah,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: but it was funny because like I remember that time
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: when he like yelled at me, you know whatever. They
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: were babbed and everyone was saying yeah, so that was
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that was very nice. And also the fact that Jess
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: helped out.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: He did in a very small way.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But when he said the ballet teacher, it took me
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a hot seconds be like you mean miss Patty? Like
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it took me. I was like, who's the ballet teacher.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, miss Patty, Like I don't think we've
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: referred to her that way. So it took me a seat.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. Clearly Rory likes Jess. Where she's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: giving him credit for unlocking a.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Door, yeah, exactly. Yeah, And at the very end, like
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the very last scene where Dean's watching her through the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: window talking to them, it's like, okay, very clear that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: she's you know, she's not admitting it to herself maybe,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: but very.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Clear that you know, she's got an interest.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: But I thought I was cute.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I loved the parts where Laura I was working in
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the diner. Like everybody liked to talk about how selfish
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Lorela I is, but you know, Luke needed her and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: he isn't. Luke is never gonna ask for her help.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: He did it. She like went on her own and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you know, helped him out so he could attend to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the to his family business.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And I just loved that and it was cute.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I will say it though, between last episode and this one,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, man, Laurla, I can easily take off work. Yeah,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Like she went to spawn a Friday, she randomly just
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: was like, well, I'm just gonna go run the diner today,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: like on a Tuesday or whatever day. Like I was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: just like, man, I mean she is kind of the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: boss in a sense, but I don't know, like she's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: not really worried about the inn.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I guess if you have good people working for you,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and yeah, you know you trust them, but yeah, she's
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: like just in the middle, She's like, I gotta go
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: do the lunch rush.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's like okay, yeah, I mean I guess they all
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: kind of help it. Then again, I thought the line, well,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the okay, well, obviously the vegetable stuff was so funny.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: The farmer's market, but at the very end when the guy,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: when the guy is like you put yourself through this
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: trouble tailor, and I was like, you know what, he
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: has a really good point. Yeah, no one said anything
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: this and you know that guy was I'm blaming on
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: his name, Sorry, but you know he was just like
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: loving watching Taylor just squirm. No, he's just gonna sell
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: his vegetables and go on a trip.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And it was it was true because Taylor
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is the only one that had an issue with it,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and he's the one that like he stepped out of
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: his role of leading the town meeting just so he
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: could bring up this issue.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: And he totally made a big thing.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Out of it. And meanwhile, like the guy was just
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: gonna sell his stuff and then be.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Done, but tell meeting.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: But it was so Taylor. I loved it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It was so the most Taylor thing was he he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: made Miss Patty set himself up like he like literally
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: just like set himself up to like speak. He's like,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: all right, well now Miss Patty's gonna take over. He's like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: all right, Taylor, would you like to say it? And
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he just changed positions and then it was continuing his song.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: It was like, oh he was so good.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole krt kiosk krt kiosk things that was
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it was just so quirky and funny.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: And yea like typical stars hollow and it was good
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: to see Babbett. We haven't seen her for a little while.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I know. It's that's why, you know. I actually was
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: thinking on the last episode and I forgot to say this.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You would think that like Babet would check in on
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Rory when she's home alone. No, that's true, you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: like just hey, like she'd be like, hey, if you
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: need anything, I'm here, knock on the door, bring over
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: like some snacks, you know, like just checking in on her. Yeah,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like they've done that before.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: No, clown pillow, I didn't see it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Uh No, I didn't write down clown pillows, so I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: didn't see it. One thing I did see that was
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: kind of funny, one of those little behind the scenes
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: things that you're not supposed to see, but thanks to
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the widescreen TVs, we saw them in the first scene
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: where we saw Grantly Phillips written you know the original
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Troubadour singing wake Me Up before you Go Go, the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: very beginning of that song, Like right when it switches
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: into that scene, if you look on the left side
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: of the screen, you can see Lauren and Alexis just
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: standing their.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Way up their cue.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Because they're supposed to be like they're walking down the sidewalk,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: but they're not walking yet.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: They're just so he's waiting to go, and then as.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Soon as the camera pans past him, then you see
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: them start walking.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Wait, that is so funny.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty funny. They're staying.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Lauren's like, you know, straightening your hair before they start.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Oh. I like moments like that takes you totally out
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of the element of the show, but.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: It really does. Yeah, it's like you're not supposed to
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: see that, and I think on a regular size screen
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you probably won't see it, but they because they were
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: like way off to the worst, Okay, but it was
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: pretty funny.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: So if you have a chance to go back and watch.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That, you know, there was something that was kind of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: interesting to me when the casket situation and then he
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: said he ends up getting the casket from Big and Tall.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: He said that his uncle was one hundred and sixty pounds.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's pretty like normal size man. Yeah, kind
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of small actually it but it was all the stuff.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It was all the stuff, But in my head, I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was like one hundred and sixty pounds man, and one
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pounds stuff. Also, like I kind of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: wish we got I know why they didn't do it,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: but I wish we got like that at the angle
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of just like the stuff pouring out, you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Know, yeah, that could have been funny, like the baseball cards,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: like I'll slip it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I was like wondering, like what is in there? You
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? I was like what I know?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Like they mentioned a couple of things and I'm like
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: what else could possibly be? Yeah? Also, I just really
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: felt the one the part that got me and I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: actually got emotional was when laurel I said that his
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: dad is watching like the Luke TV or what like.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That part like got me, Like I was like my
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: eyes started like yeah, watering a bit.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I liked that whole thing.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And I liked the moment between Luke and Laurelai when
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: they were at the graveside and he was saying like
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Luke was like is that me? Like, is that what
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I'm turning it into this curmudgeon that everybody hates? And
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you know, laurela I was trying to point out like
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: all the good things that he does for her per
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: personally and.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: For the community. And I thought that was a good moment.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed that. Yeah, that was like I think the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I wasn't. I didn't really care for the Emily's dookie
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: storyline because I was just like, well whatever, But it
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: was especially the end that I was like, this is
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: why we watched Gilmore Girls like this is it's the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: town shows up, whether you like the person or not,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: or whether they were a jerk or not. Like, here's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the thing. We all know that Jess is a jerk,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: but he has a heart and everyone I think in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that town can see it as well. And it's the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: same thing with like I was about to say, Scott,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: it's the same thing with Luke. It's like he's a grump.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: We all know that, but at the end of the day,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: he has a really big heart. And like that's kind
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: of the whole the whole point of the show. I think.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: It's just like you see the good in these people
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and they take care of each other.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and even though you know sometimes Luke does get
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you know, he gets angry very easily or whatever, but
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: he's still like part of the town and people still
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: love him and.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He shows up to everything.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: He shows up to everything.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: He serves the community in a behind the scenes way.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: And a lot of times they don't even realize. And
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I love that part when he walks in what they want,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: he and Laura walking together and he says something like,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you know, why is everybody here? And Laura line says
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: they're here for you and he goes, am I dead?
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, which was funny.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: But the point was like they all came to support
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Luke because they're bad about you know.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: How, Yeah, wouldn't And that's the thing is like they
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: didn't have to, like Louis uncle lou Yeah, but they
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: love Luke and Luke served them every morning, so that's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: who they came to support.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, So yeah, it was It was a
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: good It was a good, strong episode.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: It got off to kind of a slow start, but
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I think overall it was an enjoyable episode.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: So two other minor things I noticed during the episode.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: One was, at the very end, continuing to talk about
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the wake scene, Jess has a plate of food in
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: his hand. The contents of the plate changed a few
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: times from take to take, so that was kind of funny.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And then one this was a story actually from a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: previous episode of the podcast when Scott interviewed and I
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: am completely blanking on his name, but it was the
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: actor that played Andrew that was one of the reenactors,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: and he's the one that had the drum when they
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: come arching up.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: The hill at the at the rape side service.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He told a funny story about how when they shot
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: that scene the very first time he beat the drum
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: on the very first take, the head of the drum
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: caved in, like like rickety, or he hit it too
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: hard or something and the head caved in. So you
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: can see like the whole scene, like the top of
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the drum is.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Like, oh my god, funny.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: It's concaved because the thing was broken.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Didn't do another Dolfy that's his name, Sorry Mike, but yeah,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I guess they didn't have like another Revolutionary war drum
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: sitting around, so he.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Had to still use the same drum.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: But it was funny because you don't you don't, you
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: don't see it unless you're looking for it, like unless
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you know that it's there. So that was just kind
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: of a.
• 14:48
