- 1:56Speaker 1: Rory returns from an internship in Washington to deal with
- 2:00Speaker 1: conflict over Dina. Jess Lorelai questions her future when she
- 2:04Speaker 1: learns that Christopher's girlfriend is pregnant. Written and directed by
- 2:08Speaker 1: the one and only Amy Sherman Peladino. Let's let's just
- 2:13Speaker 1: kick this off, all right. Rory as confused as ever,
- 2:17Speaker 1: and and it seems like the summer away she was
- 2:21Speaker 1: thinking of Jess the whole time. Jacqueline, what are your
- 2:23Speaker 1: thoughts on this this opening sequence of the show.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I mean, she knew that Jess was, you know, on
- 2:31Speaker 2: her mind because she freaked out by missing her graduation
- 2:33Speaker 2: and all that. So I think she did it in
- 2:36Speaker 2: a way where it was too harsh, but I understand
- 2:41Speaker 2: her intentions.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I think she went kind of hard to Rory.
- 2:45Speaker 1: About it, like she was a little Emily on her,
- 2:47Speaker 1: didn't she Yes.
- 2:48Speaker 2: There you go, Yes, because she's like, you gotta make
- 2:51Speaker 2: a decision. I feel like her own insecurity about making
- 2:55Speaker 2: a decision with like Christopher and like what just happened
- 2:59Speaker 2: to her. She was bringing that out to Rory in
- 3:03Speaker 2: that fight that they had, because Rory was looking for
- 3:07Speaker 2: Jess and returning back from Washington c she wanted to
- 3:09Speaker 2: go to the festival, and then she seem Jess making
- 3:11Speaker 2: out with that girl. I mean, so awkward for Jess
- 3:13Speaker 2: and that actress. It's a lot of making out, but yes.
- 3:17Speaker 1: That's a lot of making it. I wonder if they
- 3:20Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Did they look like they were enjoying it?
- 3:22Speaker 3: There was such a sure he did. He's a young boy.
- 3:25Speaker 3: I'm sure he did.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Was she turning around with the camera going she's really
- 3:28Speaker 1: more hitting me anyway? It seems that Rory's heart and
- 3:32Speaker 1: mind are fighting each other to make a choice. Emma,
- 3:36Speaker 1: how would you reconcile that this decision if you have
- 3:40Speaker 1: ever experienced anything like this in your brief sixteen years
- 3:44Speaker 1: on the planet, it's tough.
- 3:47Speaker 5: I think trial and error, and you know, being supported
- 3:51Speaker 5: by people is the most important, and you know right now,
- 3:56Speaker 5: it seems like the blind is leading the blind, with
- 3:58Speaker 5: Laura like kind of telling her what decision to make,
- 4:02Speaker 5: Like she can't even make a decision herself. And I
- 4:06Speaker 5: feel like it's just something that you got to do
- 4:08Speaker 5: and feel on your own. And it's definitely tough seeing
- 4:12Speaker 5: you know, Dean write all those letters to her and
- 4:14Speaker 5: all she wants to do is write to Jess. I mean,
- 4:18Speaker 5: it's wrong in my opinion what she's doing because she's
- 4:22Speaker 5: emotionally cheating on him and she kiss Jess. What she
- 4:26Speaker 5: has to do is kind of face the truth and face,
- 4:28Speaker 5: you know, admit to herself. I don't think she's done
- 4:30Speaker 5: any self reflection as to like what she wants. She's
- 4:33Speaker 5: starting to get there.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Listen, guys, all you young guys out there listening. The brooding,
- 4:40Speaker 1: good looking guy who doesn't care is going to get
- 4:45Speaker 1: all the the girls. He will.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a game.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It's like it's a game. And then that flips later
- 4:52Speaker 1: in life when people mature, then that guy seems ridiculous
- 4:56Speaker 1: and you know, I think they're the real guy they
- 4:58Speaker 1: get like like Dean is far too mature for Rory.
- 5:05Speaker 1: There's there's a real disparity here, because Dean is the
- 5:08Speaker 1: ideal guy for somebody who's late twenties, thirties, that's a
- 5:13Speaker 1: full blown adult who's open and honest and I love you,
- 5:17Speaker 1: and it's just like it's not going to work with
- 5:20Speaker 1: a sixteen year old girl. Well she's seventeen. L Yeah,
- 5:23Speaker 1: it's not gonna.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the reliable one.
- 5:26Speaker 5: But that's but that's a part of growing up, is
- 5:28Speaker 5: like doing you know, being with the bad guy, being
- 5:33Speaker 5: with the nice guy, and then getting that like healthy
- 5:37Speaker 5: relationship later on and starting a family.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Well yeah, you think that's a rite of passage for
- 5:43Speaker 1: all uh all teenage girls, is they're all drawn, that's
- 5:47Speaker 1: all of them are drawn to that bad boy. Yes, yeah,
- 5:51Speaker 1: well a pretty pretty good percentage, I guess.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah for sure, Like because you know, we all
- 5:56Speaker 2: kind of want that something we can't have, but we
- 5:58Speaker 2: don't realize we can't have it until like it's too late,
- 6:02Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, well I just screwed this up,
- 6:04Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
- 6:05Speaker 1: So hang in there, guys. Life isn't fair as a
- 6:07Speaker 1: teenager if you're a good dude. But it bounces out,
- 6:11Speaker 1: it'll bounce out.
- 6:11Speaker 3: For it, it will, it will you'll grow up to
- 6:13Speaker 3: be a great father and partner.
- 6:14Speaker 5: It's almost as if like the bad guys win early
- 6:17Speaker 5: on at life and then unless they figure it out,
- 6:20Speaker 5: then they kind of hit that downslope. And the people
- 6:24Speaker 5: that have just been waiting for their niceness to be
- 6:26Speaker 5: accepted then like take off in their late twenties thirties.
- 6:31Speaker 1: That's it. Lorela hasn't told her parents all summer about
- 6:35Speaker 1: Christopher and his dalliances with Sherry. Is her avoidance a
- 6:44Speaker 1: form of denying it ever happened? That's an interesting question.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Professor Patterson, I believe. So it's like she's
- 6:58Speaker 2: almost she's avoiding it telling something to your parents and
- 7:02Speaker 2: avoiding it, like because you don't want to admit the truth.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Like I think that's in anything you do in your life.
- 7:08Speaker 2: And with this back and forth relationship that they've had,
- 7:11Speaker 2: she knows Laura.
- 7:13Speaker 3: I knows that.
- 7:14Speaker 2: They've always had this ideal Emily and Richard have always
- 7:17Speaker 2: had this ideal for Laurai and so like, oh, Christopher
- 7:22Speaker 2: and Rory and Laura Lai and just the regular family unit,
- 7:25Speaker 2: because that's the traditional values that they grew up on.
- 7:28Speaker 2: And so I think she knows and she's avoiding it
- 7:32Speaker 2: because she doesn't want to tell them because she secretly
- 7:36Speaker 2: wishes that could work out, But she also doesn't want.
- 7:38Speaker 3: To disappoint them and give them another thing to like
- 7:41Speaker 3: attack her on. So totally, I totally think that is well.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Emily and Richard lose it. I mean they really lose
- 7:48Speaker 1: it when they hear the news about Shelley's pregnancy. Is
- 7:51Speaker 1: if there's dreams for Lauraai and Chrisper have been shattered
- 7:54Speaker 1: all over again, why won't they ever let go of
- 7:57Speaker 1: their disappointment with with with Laura? I Emma, what is
- 8:03Speaker 1: going on with these two? They just want to bludgeon
- 8:05Speaker 1: her every time they see her.
- 8:09Speaker 5: They have this picturesque family image for Laurai because it
- 8:15Speaker 5: was the way that they raised her, tempted to and
- 8:19Speaker 5: so it seems like it's just a generational difference that
- 8:22Speaker 5: they're going through. And it's a bummer because it's like,
- 8:24Speaker 5: how do you get through to different generations like parents
- 8:29Speaker 5: and grandparents when the world has evolved and morals have
- 8:33Speaker 5: changed and you're just a different person, Like, how do
- 8:36Speaker 5: you get through to them that this isn't you? So
- 8:40Speaker 5: I feel like it's just always a battle that she'll
- 8:43Speaker 5: deal with with Emily maybe, Richard.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like the crux of the show though, you know,
- 8:50Speaker 2: that's what a good TV show is, and the relationships
- 8:53Speaker 2: and all that. If we didn't have that battle, then
- 8:54Speaker 2: we wouldn't have Gilmore Girls. So but it's a real
- 8:58Speaker 2: thing that a lot of people can relate to, is
- 9:01Speaker 2: you know, having these discussions with your parents or grandparents,
- 9:04Speaker 2: and you know, like different values being passed on, but
- 9:07Speaker 2: then these values change as we get older and we evolve.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Em what's you think of the opening Laurela has this
- 9:13Speaker 1: dream alarm clocks Luke cooking breakfast. She's pregnant with their child.
- 9:19Speaker 1: What what do you think of that opening?
- 9:22Speaker 5: It completely threw me for a loop for a second,
- 9:25Speaker 5: Like I was just watching and then I had to
- 9:28Speaker 5: reverse and I like audibly gasped, and there's no way
- 9:32Speaker 5: that they just kissed right there. But it was so
- 9:34Speaker 5: cute to see.
- 9:36Speaker 3: You too in the kitchen.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I'm just like you guys agree, and it was it
- 9:41Speaker 2: was a nice little preview of what's to come later.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Obviously we know we've all seen it already.
- 9:46Speaker 2: This is second go around, but it's like Luke does
- 9:49Speaker 2: make her breakfast in her kitchen. So it was a
- 9:51Speaker 2: nice little preview. It was like throwing a little like here,
- 9:55Speaker 2: you can have a bite of this amazing bread, but
- 9:58Speaker 2: we're going to take it back, you know what I mean.
- 10:00Speaker 3: It was it was really nice.
- 10:01Speaker 1: I did notice he was piling up the bacon there
- 10:03Speaker 1: on her plate. She's a bacon eater, isn't she. I
- 10:07Speaker 1: love I love the bacon off a suki plate. You
- 10:09Speaker 1: finished with that, so she piled up the bacon on
- 10:13Speaker 1: that plate.
- 10:13Speaker 3: I know nothing like bacon in the morning.
- 10:15Speaker 1: That's really.
- 10:17Speaker 3: And coffee that's really.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Quite dangerous when you're on the road and there's that
- 10:21Speaker 1: buffet at the hotel and they've got like, you know,
- 10:25Speaker 1: they've got a barrel filled with crispy bacon.
- 10:28Speaker 5: Yeah, oven baked or on the stove, well.
- 10:33Speaker 1: I think both stove. Then throw it in the oven
- 10:36Speaker 1: and crisp it up.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 10:41Speaker 1: That's my bacon order is a little more demanding.
- 10:44Speaker 5: Yeah you got you got a lot of time in
- 10:47Speaker 5: the morning's.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Huh No, I don't. That's why I want it done
- 10:51Speaker 1: for me. Man, there you go. You know I need
- 10:57Speaker 1: a look too. So she finally walks back and it
- 11:08Speaker 1: looks to have a cup of coffee after Friday night dinner. She's,
- 11:11Speaker 1: you know, she's a little bummed out obviously, so she
- 11:14Speaker 1: just says screw it and walks in, and Luke, you know,
- 11:17Speaker 1: kind of lets her sit. She starts to vent and
- 11:20Speaker 1: cry about Christopher puts him in a very awkward situation
- 11:27Speaker 1: where it's like, lady, I don't really care about this,
- 11:29Speaker 1: but I care about you, so I'm going to listen anyway.
- 11:33Speaker 1: And she cries about not having that whole package when
- 11:36Speaker 1: it comes to love and partnership. Luke insists she will
- 11:39Speaker 1: have it, so they kind of officially made up. What
- 11:45Speaker 1: I remember filming about the scene is I love playing
- 11:49Speaker 1: these scenes because I don't say much, but the character
- 11:56Speaker 1: says so much with not saying any thing, and how
- 12:00Speaker 1: he moves, how he listens, this kind of thing. That's
- 12:02Speaker 1: the type of acting I really love.
- 12:05Speaker 2: It was so good, Like this is one of my
- 12:06Speaker 2: favorite scenes between you two because when you guys do,
- 12:09Speaker 2: it's like an unspoken truth between you two and your words.
- 12:14Speaker 2: As Luke, you don't need many words to give support,
- 12:19Speaker 2: you don't need many words to let her know, hey
- 12:21Speaker 2: I'm here, Like you're listening intently, like fully.
- 12:25Speaker 1: They're both in their natural states. Him the monosyllabic diner
- 12:30Speaker 1: guy monosyllabic.
- 12:32Speaker 3: No, I don't know, that's.
- 12:35Speaker 1: How she describes him when she's joking around and teasing him,
- 12:38Speaker 1: that's that's right, But that's how that's how she describes him.
- 12:41Speaker 1: That's how he's described, you know. And but there and
- 12:45Speaker 1: listening and engage connected to her, you know. I mean
- 12:50Speaker 1: he's responding physically to everything she's saying. So he's actively
- 12:55Speaker 1: listening and that's the kind of stuff I love to do.
- 12:57Speaker 1: And she's fully herself too, feeling completely comfortable talking about
- 13:02Speaker 1: another man and another love of it in her life,
- 13:05Speaker 1: her baby daddy or her baby husband almost right. And
- 13:13Speaker 1: he's just listening and being a friend, reacting the way
- 13:18Speaker 1: he reacts, and like, boy, this could be me, And
- 13:20Speaker 1: I don't know if I want this to be me.
- 13:22Speaker 1: You know, I love this girl, but it just yeah,
- 13:26Speaker 1: fraught with tension. This scene just yes and two characters
- 13:30Speaker 1: being one percent themselves m exactly.
- 13:35Speaker 5: It definitely felt like, out of whatever else was going
- 13:40Speaker 5: on in the episode, it definitely felt like the most
- 13:42Speaker 5: real and attention grabbing scene because I felt like it
- 13:47Speaker 5: was something that everyone could relate to. Just being so
- 13:50Speaker 5: vulnerable and asking for help because you just don't know
- 13:54Speaker 5: what to do or how to feel, and just being
- 13:57Speaker 5: able to like vent, cry and let it out and
- 14:00Speaker 5: have someone just listen or just like their presence just
- 14:03Speaker 5: means so much and it adds to making you feel better.
- 14:09Speaker 5: So it's just so special and relatable.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Yeah, because whenever in real life, whenever you're going through
- 14:14Speaker 2: like something really hard, people always ask what can I
- 14:16Speaker 2: do to help, and it's always like just be here.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Just listen and don't comment. You just you just need
- 14:23Speaker 1: to get it out.
- 14:25Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's and the way that they shot it.
- 14:27Speaker 3: I noticed that, like I was going to say, beautiful, yeah.
- 14:30Speaker 2: And then Luke's Luke's presence is like right in the
- 14:32Speaker 2: back and it's like he's always there, He's got her back.
- 14:34Speaker 2: And then it's like on Laura life and I'm just like, oh,
- 14:37Speaker 2: that that's great.
- 14:39Speaker 1: That's that's that filmic language that Amy knows so well.
- 14:43Speaker 1: And she directed this so it's like where it's you
- 14:47Speaker 1: know the question of answering the question where do I
- 14:49Speaker 1: put the camera? M I mean she answered it with
- 14:53Speaker 1: her It was just beautifully directed seeing.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's always sad seeing Laura life so down
- 14:59Speaker 2: because you normally don't. She normally is like saying jokes
- 15:02Speaker 2: to kind of cope, and here she was just straight
- 15:04Speaker 2: up vulnerable. And we've all had these moments in our
- 15:07Speaker 2: life where it's like, what am I doing? Am I
- 15:09Speaker 2: ever gonna have it? I was single personally for a
- 15:11Speaker 2: long time before I you know, I'm with my partner
- 15:15Speaker 2: Eddie and we have a kid, but like in my thirties,
- 15:18Speaker 2: I was single majority of the time. So seeing this
- 15:21Speaker 2: really brought me back to like when all my friends
- 15:23Speaker 2: were getting married when I was thirty five. They were
- 15:25Speaker 2: They're all, you know, having kids, you know, in my
- 15:28Speaker 2: mid thirties, and I was like, I'm still single here,
- 15:31Speaker 2: like what's going on?
- 15:32Speaker 3: And I broke my.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Heart to watch Laura I say that about herself because
- 15:37Speaker 2: it's like I get it, I get it.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Right, And how can Luke be How can Luke stay
- 15:44Speaker 1: mad at her? Once she's in there trusting him and
- 15:47Speaker 1: just unloading everything and feeling so comfortable to do this
- 15:51Speaker 1: with him. She's not going to do it with anybody else. No,
- 15:55Speaker 1: she's not going to do it with Rory. She's not
- 15:57Speaker 1: going to do it with Emily Richard, who else is
- 15:59Speaker 1: she she she might do it with Suki, right, I
- 16:03Speaker 1: mean you could argue that she would You think she
- 16:05Speaker 1: would be that vulnerable with Suki. She would be I
- 16:08Speaker 1: would think.
- 16:09Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but it just she wants a different reaction
- 16:14Speaker 5: and response. And that's when it makes it even sweeter
- 16:18Speaker 5: that she went to Luke for it, Like she didn't
- 16:21Speaker 5: just need a cup of coffee, she needed his warm
- 16:23Speaker 5: hug of silence and staring at her.
- 16:26Speaker 3: And don't it.
- 16:28Speaker 2: But I think too with Suki, it's like she just
- 16:30Speaker 2: got married, so you don't want to like burst her bubble,
- 16:34Speaker 2: and like I remember feeling this way. I'm so happy
- 16:37Speaker 2: for you, you know, for your friends who are getting married,
- 16:40Speaker 2: who have found the love and all that, and then
- 16:44Speaker 2: you reflect back on your own you're like, Okay, what
- 16:46Speaker 2: about me. You don't want to burst. You don't want
- 16:48Speaker 2: to put that on a newly married person. So I
- 16:50Speaker 2: think that's why she kind of went in.
- 16:52Speaker 1: When Suki and Jackson were like raging at each other
- 16:55Speaker 1: the entire episode, right, it's like, really not the person
- 17:00Speaker 1: you want to go to at that moment in time.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Yeah, such a beautiful scene between you two, and it's
- 17:05Speaker 2: just like I just tilted my head kind of watching
- 17:08Speaker 2: It's like, oh, it felt like a warm hug because
- 17:10Speaker 2: you guys are you know, made up, and so it
- 17:13Speaker 2: was good.
- 17:14Speaker 1: That was really really a nice scene.
- 17:17Speaker 4: One.
- 17:17Speaker 1: It is one of my favorites. I'll have to remember this.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can tell when it's Amy Sherman Paladino's writing.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Like with the Paladino's writing.
- 17:25Speaker 2: It it feels like it feels more genuine, realistic, like
- 17:30Speaker 2: it's coming from something that they've experienced or they know
- 17:35Speaker 2: that people have experienced.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Oh, it just it just tears your heart apart.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Yeah, that's good writing.
- 17:41Speaker 1: They have that gift. Yeah, and that's why you don't
- 17:45Speaker 1: need to do so much when you're acting those words.
- 17:48Speaker 1: You just pretty much stand there and let those words
- 17:51Speaker 1: express themselves. Even hearing those words and it just sort
- 17:55Speaker 1: of comes out in your body, you know, the exact
- 17:58Speaker 1: body moves a certain way. It's just responding to these words.
- 18:03Speaker 1: How could they not, right, It's just it's magic, It's
- 18:08Speaker 1: actual magic.
- 18:09Speaker 3: It's Yeah.
- 18:12Speaker 5: When you were filming these scenes with Lauren, did you
- 18:15Speaker 5: feel proud of the lines and the body language, like
- 18:23Speaker 5: could you feel it or was it just all natural
- 18:25Speaker 5: for you.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Both proud and feeling great about the scene and great
- 18:32Speaker 1: about the words you get to say. Listen, you know,
- 18:37Speaker 1: we come to the set or the night before preparing
- 18:41Speaker 1: the stuff, and we come to set prepare the stuff
- 18:45Speaker 1: these scenes, and it's just there's an ease to it
- 18:48Speaker 1: because the writing is so good and the rhythm is
- 18:50Speaker 1: so good and the music is so sweet, and you
- 18:54Speaker 1: get to say this stuff and it's in the writing.
- 18:56Speaker 1: You you know, the the vulnerability and the tenderness that
- 19:02Speaker 1: is underneath what Luke is doing but not showing, is
- 19:08Speaker 1: in the language. It's in the words, it's in the situation,
- 19:11Speaker 1: in the scene because of what she's saying and how
- 19:14Speaker 1: he's responding. So that's what instructs you. And you know,
- 19:20Speaker 1: I just miss it so much. The writing is so good.
- 19:24Speaker 1: You don't get this level of writing. You just don't see.
- 19:28Speaker 3: It's it's the tenderness.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I like that, the tenderness of it, because the whole
- 19:32Speaker 2: show is talking fast, and then when you have these
- 19:35Speaker 2: moments are slowing down, it really hits, it really hits,
- 19:41Speaker 2: and so that's what makes it just real. It's like wow,
- 19:45Speaker 2: it's really impactful on screen.
- 19:47Speaker 1: It's remarkable. It's just remarkable. To be able to and
- 19:52Speaker 1: that was my every day. That was my normal going
- 19:55Speaker 1: to work, to be doing that level of we're attempting
- 19:58Speaker 1: that level of work to as good as the words
- 20:01Speaker 1: are right, to not screw up the words because the
- 20:05Speaker 1: words are perfect. Right. That's the situation you want to
- 20:10Speaker 1: be and where you have to rise up every day,
- 20:13Speaker 1: every moment of every day, of every scene to be
- 20:15Speaker 1: as good as the writing is. And man, that was fun. Yeah,
- 20:22Speaker 1: that's great.
- 20:23Speaker 5: Did any scenes or writing in particular like leave you
- 20:29Speaker 5: feeling heavy like it may have taken you a second
- 20:32Speaker 5: to snap out and film a different scene. Did that
- 20:35Speaker 5: ever kind of happen to you? Or were you able
- 20:38Speaker 5: just to always be acting and then turn it off
- 20:40Speaker 5: turn it back on?
- 20:42Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like when you and Loura get in that
- 20:44Speaker 3: fight over Jess and the car accident. Oh my gosh.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Well I think that was the last scene of the
- 20:50Speaker 1: day because it was night time. It's pretty late at night,
- 20:52Speaker 1: I think, so that was it. We get to go
- 20:54Speaker 1: home after that. Let me see, was there a time?
- 20:57Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 20:58Speaker 1: I think in the recent memory the h don't Leave
- 21:04Speaker 1: Me seen in the episodes right, the Netflix episodes, Oh
- 21:08Speaker 1: big long speech, which.
- 21:10Speaker 3: Oh that's amazing. Oh I love watching that.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Sceint so Yeah, that that took a lot out of
- 21:14Speaker 1: me and I needed I needed to take a knee
- 21:17Speaker 1: and towel off and have some gatorad after that one.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know how you nailed that.
- 21:21Speaker 2: That was amazing. That scene is one of my favorites.
- 21:27Speaker 1: But that's but that's what I'm talking about. It's it's
- 21:30Speaker 1: walking out into the colisseum and you know, facing off
- 21:35Speaker 1: against your opponent and the lions coming at you and
- 21:41Speaker 1: and surviving and thriving, and it's just so damn stimulating
- 21:48Speaker 1: to be in that kind of creative situation. I mean,
- 21:52Speaker 1: it's what it's all about. It's what I trained for
- 21:54Speaker 1: all those years, and it was just it's just exhilarating.
- 21:59Speaker 1: When you have writers that gifted and you're doing their words,
- 22:04Speaker 1: it's an absolute privilege because it doesn't happen a lot,
- 22:09Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I mean, if you can get to
- 22:11Speaker 1: the top of the business somehow, then you're exposed to
- 22:14Speaker 1: the great writing, you know, And this was one of
- 22:17Speaker 1: those situations where you know, we were all exposed to
- 22:20Speaker 1: this great writing. Yeah, and we all got very lucky.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Let me tell you, well, it's the legacy of it too.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Twenty five years later, here we are, it's.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Still the biggest thing ever, you know, and so right,
- 22:34Speaker 2: it's what brought us here.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Yeah, just it's it's nice to know you didn't screw
- 22:40Speaker 1: it up totally, right, I got away with it. Yeah. Yeah.
- 22:46Speaker 5: I was recently thinking a lot about Sean Gunn because
- 22:51Speaker 5: there's just been so many interviews resurfacing of him, and
- 22:55Speaker 5: particularly in this episode, I was just starting to notice
- 22:58Speaker 5: kirkmore who I Kirk in Paris are my favorite characters
- 23:02Speaker 5: besides Luke and Lorlai. And how he the best way
- 23:07Speaker 5: he could just describe Kirk was that he is just
- 23:11Speaker 5: a manchild. And now that's something that I just can't
- 23:14Speaker 5: get out of my head. And I just have like
- 23:16Speaker 5: the biggest soft spot for him and all of his antics,
- 23:20Speaker 5: like his lotions that he was trying to make, Oh my.
- 23:23Speaker 1: God, brilliant, brilliant stuff.
- 23:27Speaker 5: And he's someone that got lucky in terms of, you know,
- 23:31Speaker 5: showing up to be the DSL guy and Amy Sherman
- 23:38Speaker 5: Paladino wanted to be back. It's like, it's just it's
- 23:41Speaker 5: just amazing to see how everything just fell into place.
- 23:44Speaker 5: And I was thinking about how you were supposed to
- 23:45Speaker 5: be Duke and it's.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Just special that not supposed to be a woman.
- 23:49Speaker 5: That's right. Where did you come from?
- 23:52Speaker 4: Duke? I don't know.
- 23:53Speaker 1: It was a typo on the on the audition when
- 23:56Speaker 1: I had the two scenes to audition, and I only
- 23:58Speaker 1: did one because it said Luke and the other one
- 24:00Speaker 1: said Duke. Who's a typo or something?
- 24:03Speaker 2: And you were only supposed to be there for one
- 24:05Speaker 2: episode and then it turned it down moor right.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Just just a flukee kind of thing. But anyway, Seawann
- 24:10Speaker 1: and I do these panels. They'd usually do a Saturday
- 24:12Speaker 1: panel or a Sunday panel and the fans come into
- 24:16Speaker 1: this massive ballroom or massive hall seated with seats and
- 24:22Speaker 1: Galaxy Con Raleigh. There were twenty five hundred people showed
- 24:26Speaker 1: up for that.
- 24:27Speaker 6: Wow.
- 24:27Speaker 1: And you know, Sean and I are like the the
- 24:32Speaker 1: you know, the Laurel and Hardy of the concert. Somehow
- 24:37Speaker 1: it always turns into a comedy show.
- 24:39Speaker 3: Ah, that's so great.
- 24:41Speaker 1: It's just brilliant. We work. We play off of each
- 24:45Speaker 1: other so well. Yea. So if you're listening and you're
- 24:48Speaker 1: in the Saint Louis area or neighboring states, come see
- 24:51Speaker 1: us because just if just for the panel, because it's
- 24:56Speaker 1: really a fun time. It's like an hour of just hilarity.
- 25:00Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about Sean, well I
- 25:02Speaker 1: do know what it is about Sean, but he just
- 25:04Speaker 1: brings out this side of me, and I bring out
- 25:06Speaker 1: a side of him. And it's just really fun to work,
- 25:10Speaker 1: you know, to be up there and just sort of
- 25:12Speaker 1: chat with him and respond to audience questions and it's
- 25:16Speaker 1: just it's just so much fun.
- 25:26Speaker 6: Carrie Bradshaw ended up on her own. But you don't
- 25:30Speaker 6: have to not if you listen to I Do Part Two.
- 25:33Speaker 6: Listen to I Do Part Two on the iHeartRadio app,
- 25:36Speaker 6: Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Let's get to the closing scene. Laurla comes home to
- 25:44Speaker 1: apologize worry about the Dean versus Jess fight at the
- 25:47Speaker 1: festival in the beginning, and Roy says she was right.
- 25:50Speaker 1: She chooses Dean and she is sure of it, although
- 25:55Speaker 1: she kind of doesn't seem like it. No denying her
- 26:01Speaker 1: true feelings for Jess. It's going to be the safe option.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Knowing how much Roy's experienced back and forth love with
- 26:07Speaker 1: her parents, is she choosing Dean? Because she needs someone
- 26:10Speaker 1: reliable Jacqueline.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Duh, duh. It's like she doesn't want to be her mother,
- 26:20Speaker 2: and so I mean, and that's in a way of that. Now,
- 26:24Speaker 2: I'm not saying like Laura is such a bad person
- 26:26Speaker 2: or somebody don't want to turn out to be like,
- 26:28Speaker 2: but Laura's love choices and stuff are pretty questionable until Luke.
- 26:34Speaker 3: Obviously, because he's a stable one. But yeah, she doesn't.
- 26:38Speaker 2: She has already experienced it back and forth with her parents,
- 26:41Speaker 2: Christopher and Lauralai, so she doesn't want.
- 26:44Speaker 1: To, you know what, nothing rupt But you know what
- 26:46Speaker 1: it is about these Gilmore girls. Yeah, they're so a beautiful,
- 26:52Speaker 1: they're so smart, they're so snarky, they're so clever, they're
- 26:55Speaker 1: so quick, they're so cultured. Right that guy's just melt
- 27:02Speaker 1: and they lose it and they're just each of them
- 27:06Speaker 1: looking for someone who isn't losing it all over the
- 27:09Speaker 1: place and turning them off. They want a guy to
- 27:12Speaker 1: hold their hold their own m hm, like stop it
- 27:17Speaker 1: with all the the roses and I love you, I
- 27:20Speaker 1: love you, you know it's like just hold it together, man,
- 27:24Speaker 1: would you? That's what they want. And I think that's
- 27:27Speaker 1: why Luke works because he's not getting all gushy and mushy. Ever,
- 27:33Speaker 1: mm hmm.
- 27:34Speaker 3: You really need somebody the opposite.
- 27:36Speaker 1: To match you, to match your strength. These are strong women.
- 27:41Speaker 1: These are strong women. I mean Rory's a strong She's
- 27:44Speaker 1: she's getting stronger all the time, right, but she's innately strong.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Yeah, and they just they no room for whims. Sorry, guys,
- 27:55Speaker 1: what's out? They're done out.
- 27:58Speaker 3: But they're also choosing those kind of guys.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Too, Yeah, because they came off really cool and collected
- 28:05Speaker 1: and very you know, they all were James Bond the beginning,
- 28:07Speaker 1: they turned into they don't realize James O'Keefe at the end.
- 28:13Speaker 5: It's interesting to me though, how someone reliable like Rory's seventeen,
- 28:20Speaker 5: she doesn't need someone right now. That's where I'm like
- 28:25Speaker 5: toggling with why does she need to choose one of them?
- 28:28Speaker 5: Why does she need to be with Dean. I think
- 28:31Speaker 5: she's partially scared of it because she doesn't want to
- 28:34Speaker 5: face the truth or break as hard or have the
- 28:37Speaker 5: town ask her questions. Like, there's so many elements and
- 28:41Speaker 5: I think right now, with maybe just me being young
- 28:45Speaker 5: and relating to a younger woman, like what she's she's
- 28:49Speaker 5: just confused. She doesn't need Dean or someone reliable. She's
- 28:55Speaker 5: just meeting people and understanding life.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Right, she doesn't know what she needs, yeah, just defining
- 29:02Speaker 1: it right, right.
- 29:02Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good point.
- 29:03Speaker 2: I mean she still doesn't know in the revivals, which
- 29:06Speaker 2: would be like the continuation and like you can do
- 29:09Speaker 2: more with Rory definitely for sure after the revivals. Yeah,
- 29:14Speaker 2: it's true she's young, she doesn't Yeah, you're right, Emma,
- 29:17Speaker 2: she doesn't need him. But I think she has a
- 29:20Speaker 2: lot writing on herself because I'm writing on her shoulders,
- 29:23Speaker 2: because she is the golden child of the town. She
- 29:26Speaker 2: can't go for Jess because he's the bad boy. You know,
- 29:30Speaker 2: he deems a good on paper guy.
- 29:32Speaker 5: Yeah, it's almost like he's resumeable, like she's doing to
- 29:40Speaker 5: fit the image for who she wants to be. And
- 29:43Speaker 5: it's just mind blowing because I'm twenty four and I
- 29:47Speaker 5: just got my first boyfriend, like I I didn't. It's
- 29:51Speaker 5: just weird how it was the standards twenty five years
- 29:54Speaker 5: ago or date and create, but it's like now they're not. Now.
- 30:00Speaker 5: It's all about finding yourself and what you're good at
- 30:03Speaker 5: and becoming independent. So it's just weird to now, like
- 30:07Speaker 5: watch this series and see how she's seventeen.
- 30:11Speaker 1: She's so young, right, right, you know what, I just
- 30:14Speaker 1: thought of a spin off for you know, or be
- 30:17Speaker 1: centered in Luke's diner, and it'll just be like me
- 30:20Speaker 1: and Max and Digger and it'll be entitled Surviving Laurela.
- 30:29Speaker 1: It'll all be waiting for her to come into the
- 30:31Speaker 1: diner and she never does, but we prep for right
- 30:35Speaker 1: and Digger comes by, and Max comes by.
- 30:39Speaker 3: You know, no Christopher though, because we just kicked him out.
- 30:43Speaker 1: There's a sign no you're not welcome here.
- 30:46Speaker 3: It's no cell phones, no Christopher.
- 30:49Speaker 1: That's not nice. He's got it both in the corner,
- 30:51Speaker 1: all waiting for him.
- 30:52Speaker 5: You know, do you think those characters would have things
- 30:57Speaker 5: to talk about other than Larela.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Let's find out Surviving Laurel I ah, and.
- 31:03Speaker 5: Then they all become best friends.
- 31:06Speaker 3: I don't know, because they're also different.
- 31:09Speaker 2: They're also different because Max, like is intellectual with books
- 31:12Speaker 2: and everything, and I don't know.
- 31:15Speaker 5: Actually, like if Loralai was removed, would they all be friends?
- 31:18Speaker 5: Because I feel like they all have that underlying angst
- 31:23Speaker 5: because she's there.
- 31:26Speaker 1: It could be like, you know, waiting for Goodell. It's
- 31:29Speaker 1: like like the Samuel Beckett version of Gilmore Girls, Right,
- 31:33Speaker 1: everybody's waiting around for Laurela. She never shows up. Yeah. Anyway,
- 31:37Speaker 1: well my brain hurts from thinking.
- 31:41Speaker 3: It was such a good episode. I liked it.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Let's just stick a fork in this one.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Uh where'd this rank on? Your guys?
- 31:49Speaker 2: Is like premiere like episodes because you know this, yeah,
- 31:53Speaker 2: like out of the series.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Like we've redefined what podcasting is today, We've done the
- 31:59Speaker 1: three of Us. This is this is the new standard,
- 32:01Speaker 1: right right?

- 32:42Speaker 1: was it was chock full of good stuff man. Good balance.
- 32:46Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good balance for a premiere episode.

- 32:51Speaker 1: thank you ladies for filling in. We we had a
- 32:56Speaker 1: guest who uh unfortunately couldn't join us, and Emma and
- 33:03Speaker 1: miss Jacqueline here decided to just come in feet first

- 34:23Speaker 2: just love you and you take the time to actually
- 34:27Speaker 2: engage with them, you know.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Listen. We had a break in New Milford, right, So
- 34:33Speaker 1: instead of having the typical lunch and at the location,
- 34:39Speaker 1: we went into town and we went into this old
- 34:42Speaker 1: time sort of saloon bar with a pool table and
- 34:45Speaker 1: a dart board, and so we ordered some food, we're
- 34:48Speaker 1: playing darts, were playing pool, and we're the only ones
- 34:50Speaker 1: in there because everybody was out doing the Gilmour Festival
- 34:53Speaker 1: activities and that kind of thing. And this group of
- 34:57Speaker 1: two moms and six like thirteen years old girls just
- 35:01Speaker 1: walked in. They saw me land darts, right, and I
- 35:07Speaker 1: just turned around and looked at him and they go,
- 35:08Speaker 1: oh my god, we love you. And they came and
- 35:12Speaker 1: they played darts, so IF and we and so I
- 35:17Speaker 1: had my handlers there and they said please, no, don't
- 35:20Speaker 1: film this and don't take any pictures. And they were
- 35:22Speaker 1: a little disappointed with that, but so if I want
- 35:25Speaker 1: to say, I wanted to say this to support these
- 35:27Speaker 1: girls and their moms who came in as they're telling
- 35:30Speaker 1: the story and if nobody believes them. It happened so
- 35:35Speaker 1: sweet it happened, and we had to wait a ball.
- 35:37Speaker 1: And one girl was so nervous that she was even
- 35:40Speaker 1: in this situation, like, you know, they're playing darts with Luke.
- 35:43Speaker 1: It's like maybe a new thing. Who knows it could
- 35:45Speaker 1: be a real And she says, she, I don't know
- 35:49Speaker 1: if she played darts before, but she was missing the
- 35:51Speaker 1: entire board and like sticking it into the wall and
- 35:55Speaker 1: the furniture and the whole. It was so cute. It
- 35:59Speaker 1: was really fun.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I noticed a huge, big blanket that somebody made for you.
- 36:03Speaker 2: It looked incredible.
- 36:04Speaker 1: It's being FedEx to me right now. Wow, it was
- 36:09Speaker 1: too big to fit in my luggage.
- 36:10Speaker 3: Hours and hours and hours that they spent. Shout out
- 36:15Speaker 3: to that fan whoever she is.
- 36:17Speaker 1: She was gray, And I'm telling you they gave me
- 36:21Speaker 1: so many gifts because it was my birthday and New Milford.
- 36:23Speaker 1: I traveled on my birthday and I worked the next day.
- 36:26Speaker 1: The next three days and they're so generous. I mean
- 36:29Speaker 1: just handing me gift after gift after gift after gift.
- 36:33Speaker 3: That's so cool.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Yeah, stuff getting through TSA with all that stuff, I
- 36:37Speaker 1: had a lot of spain to do. Right, what's going on, bro,
- 36:40Speaker 1: what's happening?
- 36:41Speaker 2: I mean you must walk away from those events like
- 36:43Speaker 2: so happy because you are receiving energy, right, the energy
