- 0:47Speaker 1: How did you find out about the commercial? So?
- 0:50Speaker 3: I heard about the commercial when it was kind of
- 0:53Speaker 3: in the planning stages, and it was it was scheduled,
- 0:57Speaker 3: so like it was a secret, but it was still happening,
- 1:02Speaker 3: and so you know, I obviously kept my mouth shut,
- 1:06Speaker 3: so I knew kind of what was going on. And
- 1:10Speaker 3: I just was so excited for all the fans because
- 1:12Speaker 3: everybody is.
- 1:13Speaker 2: So starved for new Gilmore.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Stuff and so the fact that this was like coming
- 1:21Speaker 3: together was amazing. But I heard an interesting story about
- 1:25Speaker 3: that shooting day that you almost didn't make it to
- 1:29Speaker 3: the set because there was an issue with the door
- 1:34Speaker 3: in the trailer.
- 1:36Speaker 1: No, no, I almost didn't make it out of the
- 1:38Speaker 1: trailer after wrap to go home?
- 1:40Speaker 2: Got it Okay?
- 1:41Speaker 1: Because I went into my swanky, massive bedroom inside the
- 1:48Speaker 1: trailer by the way, and I changed into my street clothes,
- 1:53Speaker 1: and I got out of the Luke suit and I
- 1:58Speaker 1: became a mild manner porter Clark Kent again and that's
- 2:03Speaker 1: actually hilarious, and and I, uh, I'd close the door
- 2:08Speaker 1: behind me, and and then when I came out, because
- 2:11Speaker 1: they were filming, because they wanted to do the the
- 2:13Speaker 1: TikTok thing where I go in and then appears in
- 2:16Speaker 1: the Luke suit and then I go in the looks
- 2:18Speaker 1: and here in my street clothes again. And it was
- 2:21Speaker 1: not my idea. This was Elaine's idea to do that.
- 2:24Speaker 1: And the door was jammed, it wouldn't open.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I would have at.
- 2:30Speaker 1: There was a small window. I didn't feel like I
- 2:34Speaker 1: was in any danger. I was with my my my
- 2:36Speaker 1: team and uh, Warner Brothers.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Wait, no, you're stuck.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I'm stuck for how long? It wasn't that long, you know,
- 2:47Speaker 1: And we tried to pull it and pull it and
- 2:49Speaker 1: pull it and yeah, yeah, So I think Elaine h
- 2:54Speaker 1: opened the trailer door and led to the outside and said, hey,
- 2:59Speaker 1: can you get a couple of people in here to
- 3:02Speaker 1: help deal this door? And they just you know. It
- 3:04Speaker 1: was about five minutes and I was just sort of
- 3:06Speaker 1: sitting in there reading a book, you know, and I.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Would have been panicking.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Caught off on some reading, and they came in and
- 3:14Speaker 1: they dealt with it and opened the door.
- 3:16Speaker 4: They first when I heard the door story, I thought
- 3:19Speaker 4: it would maybe have something to do with the door
- 3:20Speaker 4: at the diner.
- 3:22Speaker 2: No, so this is not as good of a door
- 3:24Speaker 2: story as I was hoping it would be.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Actually, pretty door at the Diner was a problem during
- 3:30Speaker 1: shooting really of the commercial, yes, because it stuck or
- 3:34Speaker 1: it would close properly, and it kept opening up during
- 3:38Speaker 1: the takes like swing open, yes. So it was almost
- 3:42Speaker 1: like it was almost like the spirit of the Gilmore
- 3:45Speaker 1: Girl and was telling us, please open this door and
- 3:50Speaker 1: keep it open. We want more episode.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Seriously, did you flub your lines or have any good bloopers?
- 3:55Speaker 1: Uh? I don't think so a little bit of.
- 4:00Speaker 2: A trickier line, not the Kirk part, but the other part.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think anybody flubbed their lines.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I wish we could see these other versions.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Why don't they just really just start like dropping them
- 4:11Speaker 1: like throughout the hall.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Maybe they'll hear this and do it.
- 4:15Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Wait, since we have you back again, Yes, is there
- 4:19Speaker 4: anything we missed it? Forgot to ask you about when
- 4:22Speaker 4: we revealed the commercial. There anything you've thought of since then?
- 4:28Speaker 1: Well, you know the final shot, you know, of me
- 4:31Speaker 1: walking out there in the snow, and then you know,
- 4:34Speaker 1: Lauren did a little thing.
- 4:36Speaker 2: And yeah, it's cute.
- 4:37Speaker 1: She did a little shoulder. Yeah, you know with me,
- 4:41Speaker 1: it's really smiled.
- 4:43Speaker 4: And that was Do you ever think of like hugging
- 4:46Speaker 4: or kissing? They didn't, They didn't let you do that.
- 4:48Speaker 4: I thought, oh, maybe.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I suggest I suggested when she came in, what about
- 4:53Speaker 1: I lean over and give her a peck on the cheek.
- 4:55Speaker 1: We've been married so long. Uh, And they said they're like, no,
- 5:01Speaker 1: we don't need that. We get it. You know, everybody
- 5:04Speaker 1: less us more kind of do Yeah. Yeah, And I
- 5:08Speaker 1: think they wanted to have the best of both worlds
- 5:11Speaker 1: because the fans know we're married and we're happily ever after.
- 5:15Speaker 1: But they wanted to harken back to the days where
- 5:17Speaker 1: Luke and Laurel. I were just sort of like, maybe
- 5:21Speaker 1: harken back to the beginning of the series, you know,
- 5:23Speaker 1: so so live in best of both worlds. So it
- 5:26Speaker 1: was actually a smarter choice that the director advised we
- 5:31Speaker 1: we do so. Yeah, yeah, very collaborative, very good. Yeah.
- 5:37Speaker 1: So that big shot with a big crane shot with
- 5:39Speaker 1: the camera on the going up and we had to
- 5:41Speaker 1: follow it up there in the snow falling on us.
- 5:44Speaker 1: It was like big budget movie action. Man. It was
- 5:48Speaker 1: like this is how they do it, and it was
- 5:50Speaker 1: just cool. And we did that on Gilmore too. We
- 5:52Speaker 1: did a lot of crane shots with snow and this
- 5:54Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But it was just it was so
- 5:56Speaker 1: magical because it was daytime. We were dressed in our
- 5:58Speaker 1: winter clothes.
- 5:59Speaker 2: It really it looks wintery.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Yeah, they did job. Yeah, they did a great job.
- 6:04Speaker 2: It's like it was it not a sunny day because somehow.
- 6:07Speaker 1: It looks like overcast. It was a bit.
- 6:09Speaker 2: I was sort of lucky.
- 6:11Speaker 1: That helps it out. I agree. Yeah, that final shot
- 6:14Speaker 1: was a little winterry. I felt like I was in
- 6:16Speaker 1: Colorado a little.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:18Speaker 1: I wanted to strap on the skis and say, see,
- 6:20Speaker 1: I gotta go really good. I got to go crush
- 6:23Speaker 1: some music with it, just like at it, like I
- 6:27Speaker 1: don't know what it would have been like without the music.
- 6:30Speaker 2: It just got you and your fields.
- 6:32Speaker 1: The music is so powerful. Yeah, just put you right
- 6:37Speaker 1: back in it, right to Yep. Then became a real
- 6:50Speaker 1: job because I have to ask uh uh some of
- 6:53Speaker 1: the PA's like do you have boxes and some bags?
- 6:56Speaker 1: I want to take all the storm?
- 6:57Speaker 2: My gosht so love the car.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Everybody that was still there, Like Elaine got a box
- 7:05Speaker 1: full of snacks. There was so many snacksations are just
- 7:09Speaker 1: like a man. So Elaine got a bag of sacks
- 7:15Speaker 1: and her daughter got a bag of snacks, and you know,
- 7:19Speaker 1: there was tons of water and juices. And you know
- 7:22Speaker 1: what they did. They went to airwon and just cleaned
- 7:24Speaker 1: the place out.
- 7:25Speaker 2: For a first of all, that is fancy.
- 7:28Speaker 4: Wait, so then when you got you know what I
- 7:29Speaker 4: didn't ask you when we talked about this the other day.

- 7:56Speaker 1: and he wanted to know all about it. I showed
- 7:59Speaker 1: him some video and some some photos that I had taken.

- 8:39Speaker 1: You know what? I I thought I was maybe at
- 8:42Speaker 1: the end of the trail with him, but this sparked
- 8:46Speaker 1: a brand new desire to revisit it. Yeah. So I
- 8:51Speaker 1: will be hitting the road and I will be starting

- 10:19Speaker 1: this way and to keep this going and to keep
- 10:23Speaker 1: that fire burning and to give them as much content
- 10:27Speaker 1: as we can. And it's I mean, if we hadn't
- 10:32Speaker 1: done it, somebody else would it? Right, It was needed,
- 10:36Speaker 1: there was a void to fill.
- 10:37Speaker 2: There was a really smart Phil Walmart knew is really smart.
- 10:41Speaker 4: They knew what they were doing because this is the
- 10:43Speaker 4: perfect show for the holidays.
- 10:49Speaker 3: I mean, what better way to sell a coffee maker
- 10:51Speaker 3: right right?
- 10:53Speaker 2: Or a jacket because I'm buying that. I'm buy that jacket.
- 10:56Speaker 2: I need that jacket. Luke approved coffee.
- 10:58Speaker 4: Well, Scott, I'm sure we'll stay tuned because we'll have
- 11:01Speaker 4: more more stories and behind the scenes.
- 11:04Speaker 1: But oh wonderful. It was a beautiful drive home on
- 11:08Speaker 1: pch looking out at the ocean. Yeah, it was just
- 11:12Speaker 1: it was actually the vision that I had at the
- 11:16Speaker 1: beginning of my career how I was going to end up.
- 11:19Speaker 1: You know, the vision that I was working toward was
- 11:22Speaker 1: leaving Warner Brothers in a nice car and driving out
- 11:26Speaker 1: to the ocean home. That was a vision I used
- 11:31Speaker 1: to work with. That's the vision that I that I
- 11:34Speaker 1: naturally did when it was regarding my career. It was
- 11:37Speaker 1: another there was another vision too, but that's the one
- 11:39Speaker 1: that that actually came true. The other one hasn't come
- 11:41Speaker 1: true yet, but it will, well it will, yeah, all right,
- 11:45Speaker 1: So that's that's it, folks. Walmart Commercial Deconstruction Part two.
- 11:52Speaker 4: And it's very funny that because you got trapped at
- 11:55Speaker 4: the end of the day, right, didn't matter to me
- 11:58Speaker 4: because I'm like, oh, you've already shot everything.
- 12:00Speaker 1: We're good. Perhaps it was my plaintive, subconscious whale coming
- 12:05Speaker 1: from within me that I did not want to leave,
- 12:10Speaker 1: that I didn't want to end the day anyway, it was.
- 12:13Speaker 1: It was maybe the best professional experience I've ever had
- 12:17Speaker 1: in a single day, other than doing Gilmore Girls itself.
