Speaker 1: will be thrilled to know that this is Amy, Suzanne, Tar,
0:28
Speaker 1: and Danielle. It's a girls episode. Uh, everybody couldn't be happier.
0:35
Speaker 1: It couldn't be happer that I'm here. Guess what, Suzanne,
0:39
Speaker 1: Suzanne and Tar and Danielle are here also, But we
0:41
Speaker 1: are joined by another Amy and the reason we wanted
0:45
Speaker 1: to have Amy on and we're really actually super excited
0:50
Speaker 1: to have this conversation. Amy, tell your story before I
0:55
Speaker 1: reveal it, and then everyone will understand why you're here.
0:59
Speaker 2: Okay, So I had commented on the I Am all
1:03
Speaker 2: In page on Instagram and I was just kind of
1:08
Speaker 2: annoyed because you guys had been discussing it for a
1:11
Speaker 2: while and I was just like, I do not agree
1:14
Speaker 2: with Amy, sugarman whatsoever.
1:15
Speaker 1: That's good. I can take it. I can take it.
1:17
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here.
1:19
Speaker 2: But you know what, I'd like that about you. I
1:20
Speaker 2: love that you're willing to listen to what everybody has
1:23
Speaker 2: to say. But basically, when I was pregnant with my son,
1:28
Speaker 2: my husband had got a phone call when he was
1:30
Speaker 2: at work, and then he contacted me right after that.
1:34
Speaker 2: An ext girlfriend had reached out and said that she
1:38
Speaker 2: had gotten pregnant a few years while she had gotten
1:41
Speaker 2: pregnant while they were they had broken up already, she
1:43
Speaker 2: found out she was pregnant and he could possibly be
1:47
Speaker 2: the father of her child. So she was reaching out
1:50
Speaker 2: to see if he was willing to take a DNA test.
1:54
Speaker 1: So wait, before you give us the more of that story,
1:57
Speaker 1: I'd love to know right away how he felt. And obviously,
2:03
Speaker 1: unlike Luke, he told you immediately and how did you feel?
2:08
Speaker 2: So he was terrified, but he was just kind of
2:11
Speaker 2: more so he believed it because he had said, you know,
2:14
Speaker 2: it is a possibility, timeline do line up correctly. You know,
2:18
Speaker 2: what are we going to do? Type of thing. And
2:21
Speaker 2: I was terrified because I was pregnant with our child.
2:25
Speaker 2: So I'm just like, oh my god, what are we
2:26
Speaker 2: going to do? I already had a bonus daughter. He
2:29
Speaker 2: had a daughter that was four at the time, so
2:31
Speaker 2: I figured it, well, yeah, so I kind of figured, well,
2:34
Speaker 2: if we have to figure this out, then I guess
2:36
Speaker 2: we just have another you know, we're gonna have to
2:39
Speaker 2: deal with it. We're going to have to figure out
2:41
Speaker 2: how we're going to fit this into our lives and
2:43
Speaker 2: where we're going to go from there. But we were
2:45
Speaker 2: both extremely terrified because if it was so, we were
2:48
Speaker 2: going to have to have that conversation with you know,
2:51
Speaker 2: my bonus daughter as well as you know, might been
2:55
Speaker 2: when he was, you know, whenever he'd be old enough
2:57
Speaker 2: to understand what was going on.
2:59
Speaker 3: And that daughter, the four year old, is from another woman,
3:03
Speaker 3: not from the one who okay.
3:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, not from the same one.
3:06
Speaker 1: No, So okay, So I have many many questions, one
3:10
Speaker 1: being this is this?
3:13
Speaker 2: What?
3:13
Speaker 1: Like, how many years ago was this this?
3:17
Speaker 2: We will be celebrating fourteen years next month. So my
3:22
Speaker 2: oldest is eleven, so eleven years ago, eleven twelve.
3:25
Speaker 1: Years Shortly, it was a few years after, maybe even
3:29
Speaker 1: ten years after Gilmore Girls. So to bring it back
3:32
Speaker 1: as a fan, did you watch Gilmore Girls in its
3:35
Speaker 1: first run or did you discover it later?
3:39
Speaker 2: No, I watched it first run. I was actually in
3:41
Speaker 2: sixth grade when it first came out. Oh my goodness.
3:43
Speaker 1: So did you have any like memory of going, oh
3:47
Speaker 1: my god, this happened on Gilmore Girls?
3:50
Speaker 2: Yes, I did because I still was like a I
3:52
Speaker 2: still watched it when the DVDs came out. I bought
3:54
Speaker 2: every single DVD as they came out. I still to
3:58
Speaker 2: this day, even my seven year old daughter, No Gilmore Girls, Luke, Loreli,
4:03
Speaker 2: the whole shabang. My kids all know because I've always
4:06
Speaker 2: been obsessed. So for You're like.
4:08
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going to handle this the way they did.
4:11
Speaker 2: Yes, Jefferson is definitely. I will say this though, as
4:16
Speaker 2: much like I'm so bummed that Scott's might here, but
4:19
Speaker 2: my husband reminds me so much of like a Luke character,
4:23
Speaker 2: and I really think that has a lot to do
4:25
Speaker 2: with why I fell in love with him, because he
4:27
Speaker 2: reminded me so much of Luke.
4:29
Speaker 1: Well, you make a good point in that, like Luke
4:32
Speaker 1: is a good guy, Like we all love Luke, now,
4:35
Speaker 1: he's not perfect. So when you're watching this, and I
4:38
Speaker 1: still obviously want to hear how this plays out, but
4:41
Speaker 1: when you're watching Gilmore Girls and rewatching it, what is
4:45
Speaker 1: your take on the way Luke acts when he finds
4:49
Speaker 1: out about April.
4:52
Speaker 2: I completely understand that having no idea what to do,
4:55
Speaker 2: but again, like I've just like, how can you not
4:58
Speaker 2: this is your partner, this is your you're supposed to
5:01
Speaker 2: you know, you love this woman. How do you not
5:03
Speaker 2: tell her right away? Like you know, this is what's
5:06
Speaker 2: going on. And you know, even if he had had
5:08
Speaker 2: explained to her like you know what, I don't want
5:11
Speaker 2: you to meet her right away, but we will find
5:13
Speaker 2: a date. So with that I agree with Suzanne. I'm like,
5:16
Speaker 2: you know, let's let's put something here so you know
5:19
Speaker 2: where we're going, rather than just oh, well, you're not
5:22
Speaker 2: going to meet her and that's that.
5:25
Speaker 3: How how long after he found out did he call you?
5:29
Speaker 2: Like?
5:29
Speaker 1: Was it a couple of days? Was it right away? Oh?
5:32
Speaker 2: No, it was right away. He had hung up with her,
5:34
Speaker 2: and then he called me that he was leaving work
5:37
Speaker 2: because he wanted to come home, and you know, he
5:39
Speaker 2: was telling me what happened, and he was telling me
5:42
Speaker 2: on the drive home.
5:43
Speaker 1: So see, that was the smart thing to do. I
5:46
Speaker 1: admire him for that. I will say that, as much
5:48
Speaker 1: as I try to defend Luke I and sort of
5:52
Speaker 1: give him the benefit of the doubt, I admire and
5:55
Speaker 1: much prefer what your husband did to what Luke did.
5:58
Speaker 1: I've never said it was the better choice. It was
6:01
Speaker 1: just his choice, and I'm trying to find, you know,
6:06
Speaker 1: support for Luke and the decision he made. That being said, okay,
6:10
Speaker 1: so then what happens Amy, So you so obviously he
6:15
Speaker 1: gets the DNA test?
6:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, and she had kind of we were a
6:21
Speaker 2: little upset because he and I had discussed, Okay, well,
6:24
Speaker 2: if this is the case, we're gonna, you know, we
6:26
Speaker 2: obviously he would need to meet with her, he would
6:28
Speaker 2: need to meet with his child and go from there,
6:31
Speaker 2: set up a plan, figure out visitation or whatever. And
6:34
Speaker 2: we were kind of upset because she had told him, well,
6:38
Speaker 2: you know, I want to find out if you're his
6:40
Speaker 2: father or not, but you're not gonna have visitation. Oh
6:43
Speaker 2: because yeah, because she was involved with another guy while
6:47
Speaker 2: she she got pregnant. She didn't know if it was
6:50
Speaker 2: my husband's child or the other guy's child, and the
6:52
Speaker 2: other guy was still with her, so when we were
6:54
Speaker 2: raising the child together and the other guy had no idea, no.
7:00
Speaker 1: I would be upset by that too.
7:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:02
Speaker 1: So wow, oh my gosh, okay, I almost want to
7:06
Speaker 1: be like, and we're going to take a break and
7:09
Speaker 1: when we come back, we will find that.
7:12
Speaker 4: Right since then that guy knows now though, right, like.
7:16
Speaker 2: Then, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, we don't we know yet.
7:20
Speaker 1: Okay, so Amy, I still have many questions, but is
7:24
Speaker 1: it your husband's child?
7:27
Speaker 2: It is not?
7:28
Speaker 1: Oh wow, whoa? So tell us how that kind of
7:33
Speaker 1: all went down and sort of the waiting period, whoa,
7:37
Speaker 1: I know?
7:38
Speaker 2: So okay, the moment he showed me the picture of
7:43
Speaker 2: the child, I told him this is not your child.
7:45
Speaker 2: He has no resemblance to your daughter, there's no nothing.
7:49
Speaker 2: But then my husband had made a point. He was like, well,
7:51
Speaker 2: you and your siblings don't look anything alike either, And
7:54
Speaker 2: you guys have a different gag because my mom and
7:56
Speaker 2: dad got beforce, my mom moved on had more children,
7:59
Speaker 2: and I do I look exactly like my dad. My
8:01
Speaker 2: sister looks exactly like her dad. Wow. I thought, okay,
8:04
Speaker 2: you know you're right in that sense. Well, we'll do
8:07
Speaker 2: what we have to do to find out. And then
8:09
Speaker 2: when it came to that it was not his child,
8:11
Speaker 2: he was just kind of like, okay, well you know
8:13
Speaker 2: it's not mine, but you know, we had to make
8:15
Speaker 2: sure that the other guy knew as well, because we
8:18
Speaker 2: were not going to just let that go by like that.
8:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, So had he did he meet the.
8:25
Speaker 2: Child no, we did not know we met with her.
8:28
Speaker 4: Okay, So it's almost as if she had a shadow
8:31
Speaker 4: of doubt and was like, I need to make sure.
8:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's odd that she didn't just oh I know
8:37
Speaker 1: why she didn't just get the DNA test with him,
8:40
Speaker 1: because she never proved and that there was a possibility.
8:45
Speaker 1: So that's why she came to you. Guys. This is
8:47
Speaker 1: such a weird thing. But like I understand sort of
8:50
Speaker 1: you'd be relieved, but maybe a little let down as
8:53
Speaker 1: you're preparing, Like in your mind you're going, okay, well
8:56
Speaker 1: we're going to do this, We're going to do this,
8:57
Speaker 1: We're going to have this third child. How did you
9:01
Speaker 1: feel or just feel relief? I mean all all would
9:04
Speaker 1: be fine.
9:05
Speaker 2: Honestly, it was a little bit of a letdown because
9:08
Speaker 2: he she had, you know, when we had seen the picture,
9:10
Speaker 2: we were just like, okay, you know, if he's part
9:12
Speaker 2: of our family, we'll make it work. I mean, we're
9:14
Speaker 2: blended already, so we were kind of, you know, in
9:17
Speaker 2: the ups about it and just kind of excited and thought, well,
9:20
Speaker 2: you know that if if it is, we'll buy bunk
9:22
Speaker 2: that's for the boys. They can share a room. We
9:24
Speaker 2: can figure this outling. You know, yeah, we were. We
9:28
Speaker 2: were already planning.
9:29
Speaker 3: So did you tell.
9:29
Speaker 4: Your kids this or no? Not until it was fine obvious?
9:32
Speaker 1: Oh you did.
9:33
Speaker 2: I We told him just because I was so excited
9:36
Speaker 2: when I got the message from Jackie. So our oldest
9:40
Speaker 2: over overheard us talking, and then my daughter heard heard
9:44
Speaker 2: me say, Luke, what you're gonna need? Luke had to
9:49
Speaker 2: tell them.
9:50
Speaker 1: Because you know what I want to know. When you
9:56
Speaker 1: rewatch Gilmore Girls and this storyline comes up, it must
10:02
Speaker 1: land so differently on you because you have such a
10:06
Speaker 1: personal sort of tie to it.
10:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does, and I do. Like whenever I've come
10:14
Speaker 2: to this episode, it always I always wonder about him
10:17
Speaker 2: and think, you know, I wonder if he's okay, I
10:19
Speaker 2: wonder how he's doing, you know that type of thing.
10:22
Speaker 2: You know, it does. And then I get so serious
10:24
Speaker 2: that Luke, because I'm like, come on, I know you're
10:26
Speaker 2: better than this. Yeah, I know, You're so much better
10:28
Speaker 2: than this. Just tell her, Tell her.
10:31
Speaker 3: That was my That's what I was going to ask is,
10:33
Speaker 3: how do you think, as kind of being the Laurel
10:37
Speaker 3: I in the situation, how do you think Laurel I
10:40
Speaker 3: handled it? Like, do you think that.
10:44
Speaker 1: I guess that's a question.
10:45
Speaker 3: How do you think Laurrela I handled it.
10:48
Speaker 2: She was extremely calm to me when she walked in
10:51
Speaker 2: and she saw April doing the salt and peppers, because
10:54
Speaker 2: that would not have been a calm, calm situation for me, right,
11:00
Speaker 2: you know, I really think I and I totally agree,
11:03
Speaker 2: that was not her character to be hiding. Like when
11:06
Speaker 2: she's hiding and she has Patty Tom, she's not there
11:09
Speaker 2: and like, no, no, no, no, no, this is so
11:11
Speaker 2: not her. But I mean I was just kind of
11:15
Speaker 2: angry with her too, like just just have this conversation
11:19
Speaker 2: and it breaks my everything.
11:21
Speaker 1: Yeah.
11:22
Speaker 2: Yeah. Every time she's standing out there, she's crying to
11:25
Speaker 2: him and they're fighting in the street and she's but
11:26
Speaker 2: I love you, Luke, I love you. I'm like, girl,
11:28
Speaker 2: we love him too. It's like it always gets me.
11:32
Speaker 2: It always, yeah, it always. And then when you see
11:34
Speaker 2: him show up and he has the car packed and everything,
11:37
Speaker 2: and I totally disagree with Scott. I think he did
11:39
Speaker 2: so good. I cry every time.
11:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, Suzanne likes that scene too. Yeah, yeah, I totally disagree.
11:46
Speaker 2: I'm like Scott did so well, Like I if he
11:49
Speaker 2: did not do well, there'd be no reason for me
11:50
Speaker 2: to be crying every time I see that episode, even
11:52
Speaker 2: though I know he's there, I know what's coming.
11:55
Speaker 3: What do you think of everything that happened with Anna
11:58
Speaker 3: in her store?
12:00
Speaker 2: Oh?
12:00
Speaker 3: How Anna reacted?
12:02
Speaker 2: Yeah? She I feel she Anna was so childish, And
12:06
Speaker 2: you know what, I had to deal with that with
12:08
Speaker 2: my daughter, my bonus Laughter's mom, because I had to
12:10
Speaker 2: explain her I am not trying to take your place.
12:12
Speaker 2: I'm simply her friend. I am not trying to be
12:14
Speaker 2: her mom. She has you for that, you know. And
12:18
Speaker 2: I'm here. I'm here to stay. I'm not going anywhere.
12:20
Speaker 2: And she felt the same way, like, well, it's not permanent,
12:22
Speaker 2: nothing's permanent. About fourteen years, I'd say, well it's pretty permanent, lady.
12:28
Speaker 2: So it's like, I totally don't agree with Anna.
12:32
Speaker 3: Do you still have that conversation with her all these
12:35
Speaker 3: years later?
12:36
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a good question. What is your relationship
12:38
Speaker 1: like now?
12:40
Speaker 2: So I have had no conversations with her in years
12:43
Speaker 2: because our bonus Laughter she just turned eighteen, so once
12:47
Speaker 2: she was like around twelve years old, she got a
12:50
Speaker 2: cell phone, so we pretty much would just be able
12:53
Speaker 2: to contact her that way and she still comes. She
12:56
Speaker 2: was just here, you know right now. She's loving it
12:58
Speaker 2: because she has her license so she to take her
13:00
Speaker 2: younger siblings back and forth to school. So, you know,
13:03
Speaker 2: we have a good relationship and everything's perfect with she
13:06
Speaker 2: and I, but you know, it was difficult with her
13:09
Speaker 2: mom because we tried to bring her in and you know, hey, Christmas,
13:14
Speaker 2: this year is with us. Are You're more than welcome
13:16
Speaker 2: to join us, so you don't miss out on that
13:17
Speaker 2: with her. And you know Halloween, you can come trick
13:20
Speaker 2: or treating with all of us, and she will just
13:23
Speaker 2: really pushed back and was just not having it at all.
13:25
Speaker 1: So gosh, I mean, that's like you guys have really tried,
13:30
Speaker 1: and both you and your husband deserve credit for look,
13:33
Speaker 1: like I said, handling it all of this in a
13:37
Speaker 1: better fashion than Luke Lorlai Anna everybody.
13:42
Speaker 2: Yeah. I really think it has to do with the
13:44
Speaker 2: fact that both of us come from broken homes. Like
13:46
Speaker 2: my father I'm sorry, not my father. My husband doesn't
13:49
Speaker 2: have a relationship with his dad. I My parents were
13:52
Speaker 2: divorced when I was small. I didn't have a good
13:54
Speaker 2: relationship with my dad growing up either, so we really
13:57
Speaker 2: did not want that with our kids.
14:08
Speaker 1: Do you have any compassion for the way Luke deals
14:13
Speaker 1: with it? Like, is there anything in there where you're like,
14:17
Speaker 1: I can I understand it?
14:20
Speaker 2: Is just like you, I understand where he's saying he
14:23
Speaker 2: wants that relationship with April outside of lore life for
14:28
Speaker 2: a while, to get to know her and understand her
14:30
Speaker 2: because Loreli is a very bubbly person and who wouldn't
14:33
Speaker 2: want to hang out with Loreley? I mean any of us.
14:35
Speaker 2: I totally agree with you, Amy when you're like, I,
14:37
Speaker 2: you know what I would do to be Lorelai for
14:39
Speaker 2: a day? Oh so what I you know? I And
14:42
Speaker 2: I totally understand that. And same with my husband. He
14:45
Speaker 2: would have father daughter days. They would go to the park,
14:48
Speaker 2: they'd go to the movies, they would go to steph alone.
14:50
Speaker 2: I had no problem with it because growing up with
14:53
Speaker 2: having daddy issues, I didn't want that for her, So
14:56
Speaker 2: I totally understand. But my only issue again is like
15:00
Speaker 2: express this to her. Let Laurlae know, you know this
15:03
Speaker 2: is this is the situation, and obviously you know you
15:07
Speaker 2: don't want it to go on for ten fifteen years
15:08
Speaker 2: because they wanted to have children together as well. So
15:11
Speaker 2: it's like, just find a way to just kind of,
15:13
Speaker 2: you know, introduce her slowly maybe and you know, you know,
15:19
Speaker 2: let's do a dinner together all of us and bring
15:21
Speaker 2: Rory and you know, make it a family event. You know,
15:25
Speaker 2: for Luke to have been wanting, you know, when he
15:27
Speaker 2: bought the big house and you know we're gonna fill
15:29
Speaker 2: it with children, I mean, it was just totally off
15:31
Speaker 2: character for me with him.
15:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could have been handled so much better. I
15:37
Speaker 1: agree with that completely. I just try so hard to
15:40
Speaker 1: give to come from a place of even if he's
15:43
Speaker 1: making a bad decision with how he's handling this, this
15:46
Speaker 1: is how he's handling it, and I'm trying to be
15:49
Speaker 1: supportive of that. I think that's always been sort of
15:51
Speaker 1: my message that has probably gotten lost in a bunch
15:54
Speaker 1: of different ways. But it's like, this is the choice
15:56
Speaker 1: he's making. I don't know. And Lorla always was, like
16:00
Speaker 1: I said, faking it, that she was going along with it,
16:03
Speaker 1: and I always have felt that's what caused the big
16:06
Speaker 1: eruption and ultimately the breakup. In where we're at in
16:09
Speaker 1: the series.
16:10
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure. I really think she should have
16:12
Speaker 2: expressed herself more as well, because she kind of just
16:15
Speaker 2: played the part and just went along with it knowing
16:17
Speaker 2: and we can all see she's uncomfortable. She really needed
16:20
Speaker 2: to express that. I really think that lack of communication
16:23
Speaker 2: there is what really took it further.
16:25
Speaker 1: I agree, I think it was the problem. And before
16:28
Speaker 1: you go, we would like to know how do you
16:31
Speaker 1: feel about season seven because we're only two episodes in
16:34
Speaker 1: and we do seem to be struggling a little bit
16:36
Speaker 1: with season seven not being what the first six seas.
16:45
Speaker 2: For me, and I totally agree with Scott when he says,
16:47
Speaker 2: give the people what they want. Season seven could have
16:49
Speaker 2: been all about. You know, they have their wedding, they
16:52
Speaker 2: get pregnant, they have a baby, they lived happily ever after,
16:55
Speaker 2: and let us just figure out what Rory's going to
16:57
Speaker 2: do because she drives.
17:01
Speaker 3: Without without giving spoilers for Danielle, what did you think
17:04
Speaker 3: of the movies?
17:06
Speaker 2: I hate the movies?
17:08
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, I don't hate.
17:10
Speaker 2: They did not they did not do justice. What is
17:13
Speaker 2: with the musical number? You get rid of the musical number?
17:16
Speaker 1: But do you prefer that or season seven?
17:19
Speaker 2: Oh? I prefer the movies only because we have I
17:25
Speaker 2: don't know if y'all have their headphones and or not.
17:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, Danielle'll just take your headphones off.
17:30
Speaker 4: I'll take him off. I'll take them I can just
17:32
Speaker 4: you can go.
17:32
Speaker 1: Daniel Oh my gosh, sad.
17:34
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna take him off, and you guys can
17:36
Speaker 4: talk about spoilers.
17:39
Speaker 2: It's just good just because we have we finally see
17:41
Speaker 2: them together. Yeah, that's my thing. That's all we've ever
17:44
Speaker 2: wanted and we finally have them together. And episode nineteen,
17:49
Speaker 2: that is literally my favorite Luke moment at the very
17:54
Speaker 2: end with the whole bike and fixing the car and
17:57
Speaker 2: do that for me. That I how my husband that
18:01
Speaker 2: moment you did. He did something almost similar for me
18:05
Speaker 2: because my car broke down. I cried. I didn't want
18:07
Speaker 2: to let it go. He did almost the exact same
18:09
Speaker 2: thing for me, and I told him that was my
18:11
Speaker 2: loose moment with you. She's like, yeah, that's cute.
18:16
Speaker 1: Until you get to that one. I think I like
18:19
Speaker 1: the movies because we got our friends backed, you know
18:21
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like we've been away from them for
18:23
Speaker 1: so long and the fact that they we got them back.
18:26
Speaker 1: I just was so my expectations were so high and
18:30
Speaker 1: I was so disappointed. And then it also did feel
18:32
Speaker 1: a little I bet. I was actually thinking about this
18:34
Speaker 1: in the shower the other day because I'm like preparing
18:36
Speaker 1: to talk about them, and it's like, we get so
18:38
Speaker 1: much Peter Krauser, and I love Peter Krause, but I'm
18:41
Speaker 1: like what and we get so much Set and Foster
18:43
Speaker 1: and I'm just like what, Like there's a lot of
18:47
Speaker 1: sort of crap in there that I'm just like.
18:49
Speaker 3: I think, I think maybe this is just the me thing.
18:54
Speaker 3: But I think I really liked it because it came
18:56
Speaker 3: into my life when I feel like I really really
18:59
Speaker 3: wanted more Gilmore and I got it, and I luckily
19:03
Speaker 3: I actually went to the premiere of it, So I
19:05
Speaker 3: think for me it means something a little bit different
19:07
Speaker 3: because the whole cast was there and it was my
19:09
Speaker 3: favorite show and I disliked season seven so much, and
19:13
Speaker 3: it was like redemption for me.
19:15
Speaker 1: I just am so not into Rory the movie incarnation
19:18
Speaker 1: of Rory. I'm like, yeah, yeah, character.
19:22
Speaker 3: And also not having Richard and it was the hardest
19:25
Speaker 3: thing to see. And I think that's another part piece
19:28
Speaker 3: of it that people don't like, is which I mean, that's.
19:31
Speaker 1: Just reality, right, Like that was just real. Yeah, But
19:34
Speaker 1: it was a hard watch for a lot of people.
19:36
Speaker 3: But I think that's what I liked about it because
19:39
Speaker 3: it was a reality for them, Like, yeah, we never.
19:42
Speaker 1: I never was Bob. I thought that was handled.
19:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like we never saw anything in seven season
19:48
Speaker 3: seven seasons of the show where they've been through heartbreak,
19:52
Speaker 3: but this was a different kind of heartbreak.
19:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. And you know what, I have lost my
19:57
Speaker 2: dad around that same time that those movies, So seeing
20:00
Speaker 2: that and then having them go through that loss and
20:03
Speaker 2: that struggle and the family fighting and being you know,
20:06
Speaker 2: all of that, I went through the same thing. So
20:09
Speaker 2: it's like, man, I went through I lived through this
20:11
Speaker 2: all my teenage years watching Gilmore, and now I'm going
20:14
Speaker 2: through it again.
20:15
Speaker 4: Yeah.
20:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, But it was good to see Taylor and all
20:18
Speaker 2: that because I think he's just the funniest in the movie.
20:21
Speaker 2: But I was just, yeah, I'm like, they could have
20:23
Speaker 2: done without this musical number. We could have had the wedding,
20:26
Speaker 2: we could have had so many more things.
20:27
Speaker 3: I definitely forgot about that.
20:29
Speaker 2: So you just.
20:33
Speaker 1: Well, Amy, you're rat Like I was like looking forward
20:38
Speaker 1: to talking to you about like everything you've been through
20:40
Speaker 1: and hearing your perspective, but this is this is a
20:44
Speaker 1: great conversation and I love, like just your whole energy
20:48
Speaker 1: and vibe and the way you talk about Gilmore too.
20:51
Speaker 1: So thank you so much. We can't thank you enough
20:53
Speaker 1: for being so open and sharing your story with us.
20:55
Speaker 2: No, thank you guys so much. Coming back for episode
20:57
Speaker 2: nineteen because that is my absolutely.
20:59
Speaker 1: Actually great idea, Jackie. Make sure that we do that.
21:02
Speaker 1: Make sure that we do that. We'll make sure God
21:04
Speaker 1: is on And yeah, Amy, Like, I think what you
21:08
Speaker 1: said that really is resonated with me. And what I've
21:10
Speaker 1: kind of realized is even though I have my opinion
21:13
Speaker 1: because I love the character of Luke and I want
21:16
Speaker 1: to support him, it doesn't mean that I think he
21:18
Speaker 1: made the best choice. I just think he made his choice.
21:21
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to everybody's so mad about his choice,
21:25
Speaker 1: and I'm always like, but that's what he made, so
21:28
Speaker 1: let's find some grace for him. But I think you
21:30
Speaker 1: make great points and that like, yeah, there is a
21:32
Speaker 1: better way. There was a better way for all of them.
21:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I understand, like, and at the end of
21:38
Speaker 2: the day, no matter what, that's his child, that's his decision,
21:41
Speaker 2: saying with you know my children, and you know, Gimielle,
21:43
Speaker 2: that she's a new mom. It's like, we know who
21:45
Speaker 2: we're going to allow around our children, and we know
21:47
Speaker 2: who we're not going to allow, and for whatever reason,
21:50
Speaker 2: you know, it's just it just kind of sucks that
21:52
Speaker 2: it happened to me, Lorlay. But you know, at least
21:56
Speaker 2: we get the movies, and you know, it's better with
21:58
Speaker 2: the movies.
21:58
Speaker 1: But yeah, and actually I think the finale of the
22:03
Speaker 1: series it has its moments too, so there's some redeeming
22:08
Speaker 1: things in season seven.
22:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know Scott's not here to ask, but
22:12
Speaker 2: I'm definitely team Jess all the way. Oh yeah, adult Jess.

22:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is always my daughter to my daughter loves Jess.
22:26
Speaker 2: She's like, I love Jess and like yet me fee girl.
22:29
Speaker 2: I know.
