- 0:57Speaker 1: you remember about that Gilmore time in your life?
- 1:02Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, there's so much.
- 1:05Speaker 4: You know. One it was I just moved to Hollywood
- 1:09Speaker 4: to pursue this dream of acting, but I didn't want.
- 1:12Speaker 3: To be a waitress. So I was like, what else
- 1:14Speaker 3: can I do.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Where I'm in on a set, learning watching you know,
- 1:19Speaker 4: the pros work and get more experience. And I got
- 1:22Speaker 4: Gilmore Girls right away, like within a month of being
- 1:26Speaker 4: in la and I interviewed for it and got the job.
- 1:30Speaker 3: And I just got thrown into it.
- 1:32Speaker 4: And what I love the most and remember the most
- 1:35Speaker 4: about Gilmore Girls is that we became a family so quickly,
- 1:40Speaker 4: Like behind the scenes we were tight. We did so
- 1:44Speaker 4: much together. We would work eighteen hour days and we
- 1:48Speaker 4: would still hang out after we wrapped, Like we would
- 1:51Speaker 4: stay on the lot and we would hang out and
- 1:54Speaker 4: play darts and sing karaoke, and we just wanted to
- 1:58Speaker 4: be around each other, wed each other, and the dynamic
- 2:02Speaker 4: I haven't found since. And I went on to stand
- 2:07Speaker 4: in for several other actresses on several other shows, and
- 2:11Speaker 4: I never had that same dynamic where I felt like
- 2:15Speaker 4: these are my family and my friends and I want
- 2:16Speaker 4: to hang out with them.
- 2:17Speaker 1: All the time.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Yeah, So it was very special. It was a very
- 2:22Speaker 4: special time.
- 2:23Speaker 1: So what was it like watching this episode again?
- 2:27Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
- 2:28Speaker 4: One I was telling your producer before we started is
- 2:32Speaker 4: that I didn't realize the girls were going through so much.
- 2:35Speaker 4: I mean, I honestly thought it was about Lauren had
- 2:37Speaker 4: bad hair, you know, like she just couldn't get the
- 2:40Speaker 4: hair done in town. And the reason being is because
- 2:44Speaker 4: I never watched any of the episodes because we were there,
- 2:47Speaker 4: we were in it, and watching one, I would always
- 2:50Speaker 4: I can't, I can't really just enjoy it when we
- 2:54Speaker 4: were actually working on the show, because I was like, oh,
- 2:57Speaker 4: that that happened. Oh that's the day I took a
- 2:59Speaker 4: nap on the stairs at the Gilmour mansion. You know,
- 3:02Speaker 4: you think about everything that was going on in your mind,
- 3:06Speaker 4: and so watching it, I was like, oh, I didn't
- 3:08Speaker 4: realize all this was happening for the girls. It was
- 3:11Speaker 4: a really intense episode. And you know, remembering that mississ
- 3:15Speaker 4: C from Happy Days, you know, it was there the
- 3:17Speaker 4: grandmother and remembering I remember there was someone in the background.
- 3:23Speaker 4: We were setting up this shot and someone was making
- 3:26Speaker 4: a weird noise and she looked at me and she
- 3:28Speaker 4: goes stop making that noise. And I was like, oh,
- 3:30Speaker 4: missus C just yelled at me and I wasn't making
- 3:32Speaker 4: a noise, but I was like, I can't talk disrespectful
- 3:35Speaker 4: the mississ C.
- 3:36Speaker 3: You know, it's just fun.
- 3:38Speaker 4: It was fun to watch the episode and have all
- 3:41Speaker 4: those memories come back. And now I'm actually intrigued to
- 3:45Speaker 4: watch the show, and now I can watch it as
- 3:48Speaker 4: a fan and oh, okay.
- 3:51Speaker 3: This is really great.
- 3:53Speaker 1: All right, well, air date on this one February seventeen,

- 4:06Speaker 1: her schedule is a little heavy and she's falling behind,
- 4:10Speaker 1: and Laurala I is running out of money for the

- 4:35Speaker 1: looking up now, Laura Lei then over at Jason's and
- 4:41Speaker 1: they're both on the phone over work calls, not able

- 4:56Speaker 1: to her Tricks is coming into town and they need
- 5:00Speaker 1: her to go to a luncheon and get a haircut.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Laurel and Seeker back at the end, Tom lets them
- 5:08Speaker 1: know the bills aren't getting paid, so Laurel I kept
- 5:12Speaker 1: that from Suki. Suki was't not aware of that, and
- 5:15Speaker 1: she suggests Suki does ask Lorelei to ask Luke for
- 5:20Speaker 1: the money because he's old, reliable. Laurele's getting her hair
- 5:26Speaker 1: done by you, Patty as Leanne, and she gets to
- 5:31Speaker 1: call and Suki isn't at the Dragonfly and to sign

- 5:41Speaker 1: who is five feet away from him in the lobby,
- 5:44Speaker 1: and she leaves her hair appointment while her hair is wet.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Horror of horrors, Patty, you were in this storyline as
- 5:54Speaker 1: Lorelei's hairdresser. What do you remember about filming that day.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I remember we had a lot of fun.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Behind the scenes. Steve Clancy was excited to be directing.
- 6:07Speaker 4: Lauren was excited that I was doing her hair. She
- 6:10Speaker 4: didn't want anyone touching her head and so she was
- 6:13Speaker 4: comfortable with me, so she was happy about that. We
- 6:17Speaker 4: joked a lot behind the scenes. Chris Long stopped by.
- 6:20Speaker 4: You know, I got this role because previously, in the
- 6:25Speaker 4: same season, episode four, I played woman and it was
- 6:29Speaker 4: with you in the diner.
- 6:31Speaker 1: It was right.
- 6:32Speaker 4: Before the Bachelor party that came in late at night
- 6:37Speaker 4: to Luke's diner and I was walking out and.
- 6:41Speaker 3: I was basically a swipe. You barely even saw my face.
- 6:44Speaker 3: I think I said good night or thank you, and
- 6:46Speaker 3: you were like night, And then Dean and his crew
- 6:49Speaker 3: came in. Well, Chris Long said to me after it aired,
- 6:52Speaker 3: he goes, what'd you think? What'd you think?
- 6:54Speaker 4: And I was like, you know, Chris, would be nice
- 6:56Speaker 4: if my mom could actually see my face in an.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Episode see it.
- 7:01Speaker 4: So Chris Long gave got me this part as Leanne,
- 7:05Speaker 4: and he dropped the script in my lap one day
- 7:07Speaker 4: and he said, hey, too, shot, going to see your face.
- 7:11Speaker 3: Your mom's going to be happy, and you got a name.
- 7:14Speaker 4: So I was really excited and grateful to Chris to
- 7:17Speaker 4: give me that, and my mom was really happy.
- 7:20Speaker 1: That's nice. That's so nice my mom to this day. Thanks.
- 7:23Speaker 3: The show is called Glamour Girls.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Ah all right. Every time Tricks is in the mix,
- 7:31Speaker 1: we see the generational trauma with this family, especially when
- 7:37Speaker 1: she's being extra critical about finances to the whole table
- 7:40Speaker 1: at dinner. How would you I mean, she was aiming
- 7:44Speaker 1: at Richard too, how would you take this criticism in
- 7:49Speaker 1: your own family, Patty and.
- 7:51Speaker 3: My own family, I'd be upset.
- 7:52Speaker 4: I'd be very like, what do you what are you doing?
- 7:56Speaker 4: If I was Lauren and Lauren shoes first, I'm the embarrassed.
- 8:00Speaker 4: If it was my father and he was being criticized,
- 8:03Speaker 4: I'd be embarrassed for him. And you don't want help.
- 8:06Speaker 4: You want to make it on your own, you know.
- 8:08Speaker 4: And she has to look at the fact that she
- 8:12Speaker 4: could be failing and that's hard, and she got to
- 8:16Speaker 4: go try try the lukester for some cash. That was
- 8:21Speaker 4: a great scene where you're like, oh, thirty thousand, I'm like, ooh,
- 8:24Speaker 4: that's a lot of.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of money. Still is you know,
- 8:31Speaker 1: thirty grand Yeah? I thought. I thought Jason Styles was
- 8:36Speaker 1: particularly funny in these scenes with tricks and gives her
- 8:40Speaker 1: a present and she grills him about why would you
- 8:43Speaker 1: give an old lady who you do not know a
- 8:46Speaker 1: gift when it's not her birthday, there's no anniversary, there's
- 8:49Speaker 1: no occasion for why, and he just he shrinks up,
- 8:55Speaker 1: he shrivels up, and it's French, some French antiques. She goes, well,
- 9:01Speaker 1: how did you know that? I like just looking at
- 9:06Speaker 1: each other. I thought that scene was hilarious. Yeah, it's
- 9:11Speaker 1: really great.
- 9:13Speaker 4: She keeps sheeps, calling back to the French antiques too
- 9:17Speaker 4: during the lunch.
- 9:18Speaker 3: It's pretty funny.
- 9:20Speaker 1: She's the only woman that's that's you know, maybe funnier
- 9:25Speaker 1: and even more obnoxious than than Emily. It's hard to do, uh,
- 9:31Speaker 1: all right, So Laurel I goes to look she's she's
- 9:33Speaker 1: she's out of money. You know. Tricks takes everybody apart
- 9:36Speaker 1: at the dinner table, Laura I because she can tell,
- 9:40Speaker 1: because she's a wise and soul. She can tell by
- 9:43Speaker 1: the look in Laurel's eyes and talking about how her
- 9:45Speaker 1: diner build is going, that she's in big financial trouble.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Tricks can just see it. She she calls her out
- 9:55Speaker 1: on it. And then she calls out Richard when he
- 9:59Speaker 1: made a bad business decision twenty seven years old, the
- 10:03Speaker 1: Tricks had to bail him out of. And I do
- 10:07Speaker 1: not recall this scene, Richard standing up for himself like
- 10:11Speaker 1: this and telling his mother to stop treating him like
- 10:15Speaker 1: he was some kind of incompetent child. That he's gone
- 10:21Speaker 1: on to build two very successful companies without her help.
- 10:25Speaker 1: And she decides to leave the table. So Richard showing
- 10:31Speaker 1: a bit of backbone here when I forgot about this scene.
- 10:43Speaker 1: All right, So Laura I goes to Luke, all right,
- 10:48Speaker 1: She's going to take him out to dinner and then
- 10:50Speaker 1: drop the big one on him. Need the money, and
- 10:54Speaker 1: she just sort of meets him at the truck and
- 10:59Speaker 1: sit down on the you know, on the bench out
- 11:04Speaker 1: in front of Luke's and breaks down. He comforts her.
- 11:08Speaker 1: It's a tender scene. You like the build up that
- 11:12Speaker 1: we're seeing establish a deeper connection with these two. Patty,
- 11:15Speaker 1: It's a very nice scene, it really is.
- 11:17Speaker 3: It's a beautiful scene.
- 11:18Speaker 4: You know, there's this tension between you two that I
- 11:22Speaker 4: absolutely love, and at that point you were both in
- 11:24Speaker 4: a different relationship, so it was really interesting to see it.
- 11:29Speaker 4: I remember shooting that scene. I remember being out there
- 11:33Speaker 4: and watching it happen real time, and it was really
- 11:37Speaker 4: beautiful at the time.
- 11:38Speaker 3: You guys really killed it. It's one of my favorite
- 11:40Speaker 3: scenes in the episode.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Well, it's nice to have a great scene partner. I mean,
- 11:46Speaker 1: it's always always had a g great scene partner, and
- 11:50Speaker 1: Lauren and everybody in this cast, so you know, the
- 11:53Speaker 1: way you miss the way you miss it is the
- 11:56Speaker 1: way I miss it too, because I've been on other
- 11:59Speaker 1: shows and it's not like that. Yeah, all right, So
- 12:02Speaker 1: Rory at Yale, Okay, Laine is still living there, Paris
- 12:07Speaker 1: is starting to chafe about it, Paris is complaining about everything.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Janet's boyfriend Clee Bold, and I thought, I thought Janet
- 12:18Speaker 1: did it. I love Janet just so do I. She
- 12:22Speaker 1: she did a great job just pushing back on on
- 12:26Speaker 1: what's her name? Paris? Yeah, Paris. And they argue, they argue,
- 12:31Speaker 1: and she almost spills about Asher Fleming. She just is
- 12:33Speaker 1: busting at the seams to confess to this, to be
- 12:37Speaker 1: proud of it, to fly that flag, but she knows
- 12:40Speaker 1: she can't. All right, So love those scenes, love it,
- 12:45Speaker 1: it really did. And in this Clee Bold, fella, I
- 12:48Speaker 1: don't know how we held back with all those insults,
- 12:50Speaker 1: but you.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Don't remember him, no offense to him. But there I
- 12:56Speaker 3: stood in.
- 12:57Speaker 4: For Janet on that day, and so no, I was
- 13:00Speaker 4: there for all of it. They just used me for everyone.
- 13:03Speaker 4: I was there every single day, and if Lauren wasn't working,
- 13:07Speaker 4: They're like, where else can we stick her?
- 13:10Speaker 3: But yeah, I would even remember that scene with him.
- 13:14Speaker 1: You know, that's a good. That's a good question. How
- 13:16Speaker 1: often did Lauren not work because it wasn't very many times,
- 13:20Speaker 1: was it? It was very very rare.
- 13:23Speaker 4: I was there every day start to finish, like no,
- 13:27Speaker 4: it was pretty crazy. And the only episode that I
- 13:31Speaker 4: wasn't there every single day was when they you jump
- 13:35Speaker 4: I jumped Jack off the scaffolds right.
- 13:39Speaker 1: When they were doing the light Brigade guys. That.
- 13:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I worked like one day that episode.
- 13:48Speaker 3: I was like, what is going on?
- 13:49Speaker 1: I never have time off, but.
- 13:52Speaker 4: It was It's nice to get a little bit of
- 13:54Speaker 4: a break. But of course I visited set because I'm
- 13:59Speaker 4: that person, and I'm like, I want to hang out
- 14:01Speaker 4: with my friends. Everyone became my friends. I had no
- 14:04Speaker 4: time for family, I had no time for our friends.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Outside of the show. So if I had a few
- 14:09Speaker 3: days off, I was like, I got to stop.
- 14:11Speaker 1: By, you know, like, what's happening?
- 14:13Speaker 3: I want to sing some karaoke.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Right right right, my pals? All right. Rory calls home,
- 14:19Speaker 1: leaves Laura I a message about her new job. Dean
- 14:23Speaker 1: then calls her to make sure working at the Dragonfly
- 14:25Speaker 1: because he's been hired by Tom is okay with Rory.
- 14:28Speaker 1: They give each other some life updates. Rory meets up
- 14:33Speaker 1: with her professor and he tells her she's overloading herself
- 14:36Speaker 1: with classes and that she's struggling should drop his course
- 14:42Speaker 1: otherwise if she does in, her paper is a D
- 14:46Speaker 1: paper and that's just not Rory. Roy doesn't get d's,
- 14:49Speaker 1: she didn't get czed. She rarely gets a B. Rory
- 14:53Speaker 1: tries to call Laura l Ime. They keep missing each other.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Rory's getting upset. She rushes home because she's freaking it
- 14:59Speaker 1: out of out school. I can't find lauralize. So she
- 15:02Speaker 1: talks to Dean at the end, who's working at the end,
- 15:05Speaker 1: so they sort of run into each other unexpectedly, and
- 15:08Speaker 1: she has what I consider to be her maybe her
- 15:12Speaker 1: finest moment on the show. I just the work is.
- 15:18Speaker 1: You know, she's turning out to be one of the
- 15:22Speaker 1: top talents on this show. Her work is just so effortless,
- 15:28Speaker 1: and it's so you just really can never see her acting,
- 15:32Speaker 1: and I just I just she just and she falls
- 15:34Speaker 1: apart so beautifully here and I really really, you know,
- 15:38Speaker 1: it's about not so much about what she's feeling, but
- 15:42Speaker 1: what about I'm feeling as an audience. And I felt
- 15:45Speaker 1: so much for her. Felt so bad for her. She's
- 15:48Speaker 1: just so adorably vulnerable and broken here, and Dean consoles her.
- 15:54Speaker 1: So that's that's what you hope for both, And both
- 15:58Speaker 1: Lauren and Alexis could deliver these you know those you know,
- 16:03Speaker 1: high difficulty dives if you will, you know, wonderful to watch.
- 16:08Speaker 1: I just I just thought it was such a tender,
- 16:09Speaker 1: great scene. I mean, how can you not love her, right,
- 16:13Speaker 1: she was the greatest.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I thought that too.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Watching it back, I was like, wow, she just really
- 16:19Speaker 4: is so natural.
- 16:20Speaker 3: And I mean this is the first real job.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Right, right, that's the word, is natural. Yeah, right, there's nothing.
- 16:29Speaker 1: You can't really see any training because there's really no
- 16:32Speaker 1: training there. She's getting on the job training watching all
- 16:36Speaker 1: of us, and she just nails everything. It's just so
- 16:40Speaker 1: It's uncanny, isn't it.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. And that was a beautiful scene.
- 16:44Speaker 3: I thought there was a moment there was so weird tension.
- 16:48Speaker 3: I thought that Dean might reach over for a little kiss.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I felt like they might be.
- 16:53Speaker 1: I did too. I did too, And I could read
- 16:56Speaker 1: his thought. I could read the thought right because it
- 16:59Speaker 1: was louding to me too. He was about to and
- 17:03Speaker 1: I think maybe he was directed there as well, But
- 17:06Speaker 1: I mean, how can you not feel it, right, right?
- 17:09Speaker 1: I love Dean.
- 17:10Speaker 4: Dean was one of my favorites for the Friends. I
- 17:13Speaker 4: guess I'm team Dean.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they did him kind of dirty. Yeah they
- 17:19Speaker 1: really did. But he you know, before they did him
- 17:22Speaker 1: dirty and after he after, he comes out looking pretty
- 17:25Speaker 1: darn good, I think. Yeah. And he really established himself
- 17:29Speaker 1: as like the first guy, the first boyfriend, and the
- 17:32Speaker 1: cool you know, the cool, tough, smart guy you know
- 17:38Speaker 1: that everybody swoons over and Bud he really just had
- 17:41Speaker 1: eyes for her man.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Yeah, and as a human being, like, he was one
- 17:45Speaker 4: of my favorite people. Like my first day on set,
- 17:49Speaker 4: he was so welcoming. I had to be an eyeline
- 17:52Speaker 4: for him off camera, and he was.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Just so sweet. He had a he has an old soul.
- 17:58Speaker 4: He was much older beyond his eaters at that time,
- 18:02Speaker 4: and he could have a conversation with anybody.
- 18:04Speaker 3: He just was I really really liked him a lot.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Good guy with him, good guy indeed. All right, Laane
- 18:14Speaker 1: is in a bit of a situation now, right, She's
- 18:18Speaker 1: she's she's like a ping pong ball bouncing around. Yeah,
- 18:22Speaker 1: she's living it. Yale with Rory. She's caring for everyone
- 18:27Speaker 1: like a dorm room mother.
- 18:29Speaker 4: Uh.
- 18:30Speaker 1: And then after Paris's argument with Janet, which is considerable
- 18:34Speaker 1: and deep, Laine tries to consult, uh console Paris and
- 18:40Speaker 1: mentioned she knows about Asher. Whoops, Well, if you didn't
- 18:46Speaker 1: think that Paris's head could explode any more than it
- 18:50Speaker 1: already is, here's one more layer, right, so you know,
- 18:56Speaker 1: the ferrari of rage that Paris is shift into even
- 19:00Speaker 1: a higher gear to go faster and have more rage.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Runs to Rory, who's working some I don't know, she's
- 19:10Speaker 1: checking people in at the library, and she goes ballistic
- 19:14Speaker 1: on on on on poor who just is like, you know,
- 19:19Speaker 1: what's the big deal. I told one person she's my friend.
- 19:22Speaker 1: She's not gonna blab it, you know, Relax.
- 19:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:26Speaker 1: I found Paris just tiresome in this this episode. It
- 19:30Speaker 1: was like, God, you know, there's got to be another
- 19:33Speaker 1: color you can paint here. Just tiresome. Yeah. But you know,
- 19:40Speaker 1: she does make the point that Lane's gotta go. This
- 19:46Speaker 1: is causing too much stress on everybody, but Rory doesn't
- 19:50Speaker 1: think so, because Janet and her other roommate what is
- 19:55Speaker 1: her name? Escapes, you know, I just don't seem to
- 19:59Speaker 1: be according to Rory, Tana, right, Tana, thank you Jackie good,
- 20:03Speaker 1: save good, Save for the ball club there, uh Tana.
- 20:07Speaker 1: You know, Ry doesn't think that Tana and Janet are
- 20:11Speaker 1: bothered by Lane's presence. So she goes to them and
- 20:16Speaker 1: they kind of say, you know, they intimate that. It's like, yeah,
- 20:19Speaker 1: it's a little much, it's a little crowded, it's a
- 20:21Speaker 1: little you know, we kind of have to talk about it. Yeah,
- 20:24Speaker 1: she should probably go you know, she doesn't go here'
- 20:27Speaker 1: that's but she doesn't go here. And that's the point, right, Yeah,
- 20:31Speaker 1: they're paying all this their parents are paying all this
- 20:34Speaker 1: money intuition. So that Rory can you know, let friend
- 20:39Speaker 1: and crash on her floor. It's like no, and all right.
- 20:43Speaker 1: So then Rory has to talk with Lane about the
- 20:47Speaker 1: Paris argument, and then Lane immediately picks up. As close
- 20:53Speaker 1: friends do they pick up on what the real story is,
- 20:56Speaker 1: and that is you're out. Yeah, so she understands, and
- 21:02Speaker 1: I think that scene showed how close they are as
- 21:05Speaker 1: friends and that nobody's getting resentful or bitter over it.
- 21:09Speaker 1: She just knows, and she doesn't want to. She doesn't
- 21:12Speaker 1: want to put Rory in a bad spot with her roommates.
- 21:15Speaker 1: So she's been a good friend and there's no hard feelings,
- 21:18Speaker 1: which is which is really nice to see. All right,
- 21:20Speaker 1: So now Laane is back in Star's Hollow and she's
- 21:24Speaker 1: going to stay at Laurel's. Laureli doesn't know this yet
- 21:27Speaker 1: because she hasn't checked her message, just because she's busy
- 21:30Speaker 1: running around like a chicken with her head cut off
- 21:33Speaker 1: trying to find money. So she also asked Luke for
- 21:37Speaker 1: her job back and he says yes. And then afterwards
- 21:44Speaker 1: Lane runs into her mother on the street and she says,
- 21:50Speaker 1: I'm staying at Laurele's and all missus Kim says, is
- 21:54Speaker 1: where sucks. Yeah.
- 22:00Speaker 3: I was one that I was like, why sock, what
- 22:02Speaker 3: is that?
- 22:02Speaker 4: What is that?
- 22:03Speaker 1: Why? You know? I'm at the point now with these
- 22:06Speaker 1: two where they just need to like get over it
- 22:09Speaker 1: right right, Well, you resolve this stuff, you know, that's
- 22:14Speaker 1: your daughter, for God's sake, you know, just just sitter down,
- 22:17Speaker 1: resolve it.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Anyway, this is what I'm hoping for. I'm hoping that
- 22:22Speaker 1: comes because if I'm if I'm being manipulated by the
- 22:25Speaker 1: masters that run this show to this extent, and I
- 22:30Speaker 1: know I'm going to get a payoff pretty soon, hopefully,
- 22:33Speaker 1: right right, all right, wear socks, big line, big line.
- 22:49Speaker 1: And that is missus Kim's version of saying, what I
- 22:53Speaker 1: still care? Yeah, But do you think, Patty, do you
- 22:57Speaker 1: think Lane sees it that way?
- 23:00Speaker 3: I mean, she's so used.
- 23:01Speaker 4: This is her mom, this is how she's always been,
- 23:04Speaker 4: you know, that's the way she's got, you know, that
- 23:07Speaker 4: cultural thing where she's very tough, you know, and and
- 23:13Speaker 4: Lane wants softness from her mama. But I think just
- 23:18Speaker 4: where socks, she's like, Okay, that's what mom can give me,
- 23:21Speaker 4: you know, that's what she can give.
- 23:23Speaker 3: And you know, you.
- 23:25Speaker 4: See that moment, a little bit of sadness in Lane's face,
- 23:28Speaker 4: like she misses her mom, and yeah, that's what she's
- 23:32Speaker 4: always going to get, those kind of statements from her mother.
- 23:35Speaker 1: She just does.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Miss Kim doesn't know how to let down that cultural
- 23:41Speaker 4: thing the way she was raised.
- 23:42Speaker 1: You know, well, I kind of feel for missus Kim.
- 23:46Speaker 1: She's got the responsibility of being the mother and the father.
- 23:49Speaker 1: There's no father around, so she's got to be extra tough.
- 23:53Speaker 1: You know, she has to be both figures in one person.
- 23:57Speaker 1: And that's an impossible ask, and it is thankless because
- 24:01Speaker 1: she she knows that she has to do these things.
- 24:04Speaker 1: She she knows, she sees. Her eyes are wide open
- 24:08Speaker 1: about you know, being in the United States, and and
- 24:12Speaker 1: and the distractions that are available, and the and the
- 24:15Speaker 1: culture is different, and and you know, you know, kids
- 24:19Speaker 1: get swept up by their peer groups once they hit
- 24:22Speaker 1: puberty and beyond, and then their friends become more influential
- 24:26Speaker 1: than their than their parents ever could be in those years.
- 24:29Speaker 1: So it's it's it's fraught with danger. And she understands this.
- 24:32Speaker 1: So she's got to be both a mom and a dad,
- 24:35Speaker 1: and a really tough dad, a stern dad. So it's
- 24:39Speaker 1: a it's a dual role. She should have been paid
- 24:41Speaker 1: for her playing both characters, right, the mother and under them.
- 24:46Speaker 3: There's an argument, right, she would agree with that.
- 24:48Speaker 1: She would there's a little bit of an argument there.
- 24:51Speaker 1: She she might have had the toughest role in the
- 24:53Speaker 1: whole show. Yeah, you know, keeping that stiff upper lip
- 24:58Speaker 1: and these very very very tough, tender scenes. Anyway, you know,
- 25:03Speaker 1: it's interesting that laurel I and Rory's lives are sort
- 25:08Speaker 1: of falling apart a little bit here, and that the
- 25:11Speaker 1: people they end up with or going to who console them.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Dean on Rory's behalf and Luke on on laurel Eyed behalf.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Do you see any similarities between Dean and Luke.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Yeah, they're the small town guy.
- 25:26Speaker 4: You know, they're the reliable It's like a it's like
- 25:30Speaker 4: a wood bey, you know, like a baby blanket. You know,
- 25:34Speaker 4: there's reliability there and there's a closeness that you can't
- 25:40Speaker 4: They're both going after different things and it's hard, and
- 25:44Speaker 4: they always come back to their comfort person. And I
- 25:47Speaker 4: think Luke is that for laurel I, and Dean was
- 25:51Speaker 4: that for Rory.
- 25:54Speaker 1: So if those two, if Dean and Luke were so similar,
- 25:57Speaker 1: then why is Luke so good for Lorelai and Dean
- 26:03Speaker 1: according to the fan base, isn't the one for Rory.
- 26:07Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe because they want to see Rory.
- 26:10Speaker 3: I mean, she's going.
- 26:13Speaker 4: To this big college, she's they want to see her
- 26:16Speaker 4: evolve past this small town thing. You know, her mom's
- 26:21Speaker 4: got the inn. Laurel lies got the inn. I think
- 26:24Speaker 4: the fans like her with Logan, liked her with Milo.
- 26:30Speaker 4: I go between their cast names and their real name,
- 26:36Speaker 4: but yeah, I think they just want to see her evolve,
- 26:39Speaker 4: you know, a little beyond stars hollow.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Like Loreal's more of a town y now. She ain't
- 26:45Speaker 1: going anything, She's.
- 26:46Speaker 4: Not going anywhere's this is her club, this is the people,
- 26:51Speaker 4: yeah right, And Alexis is spreading her wings and getting
- 26:56Speaker 4: worlds and.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Dean would hold her back there, you know. So I can't.
- 27:04Speaker 4: I'm not even gonna say it because people get super excited.
- 27:07Speaker 4: I just I feel like there's another there's another story
- 27:11Speaker 4: that needs to be told, you know, it needs to continue,
- 27:16Speaker 4: you know.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Let me bounce this off you, okay, because I you know,
- 27:21Speaker 1: I I sort of game theoried this out, you know,
- 27:25Speaker 1: and not that I am trying to rub salt in
- 27:28Speaker 1: the wounds that Rory can't handle her game theory class
- 27:32Speaker 1: at Yale. But if she married Dean, if she married Jess,
- 27:36Speaker 1: and she married Logan, let's play that out, okay, Like
- 27:41Speaker 1: the baby is Dean, Jess or Logan. Let's do all
- 27:45Speaker 1: three scenarios, okay. The one scenario that I okay, So,
- 27:49Speaker 1: the one scenario that I keep coming back to in
- 27:52Speaker 1: terms of this quality of the storytelling is Logan. And
- 27:56Speaker 1: it's because it's because let's consider ten years into that
- 28:04Speaker 1: marriage and a second kid. Okay, m hm, so what
- 28:09Speaker 1: are they They're in their early thirties and there's two kids.
- 28:14Speaker 1: You do that for Jesse, you do that for Dean, Right,
- 28:16Speaker 1: you do that scenario for all three. Who's most likely
- 28:22Speaker 1: to cheat? Of those three? And I think it's all
- 28:26Speaker 1: of them, But I think if it, I think you
- 28:29Speaker 1: have to give the odds. You know that they all will,
- 28:34Speaker 1: maybe one to a lesser degree over the other. But
- 28:37Speaker 1: if that happens, you think in divorce settlement, and in
- 28:39Speaker 1: a divorce settlement, you're going to do really well with Logan. Yeah,
- 28:43Speaker 1: and I'm actually being serious now going to You're going
- 28:47Speaker 1: to do very very well. So that's going to be
- 28:49Speaker 1: good for her. It's going to be good for the
- 28:53Speaker 1: children ultimately, and it also helps her to sort of
- 28:58Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't see Rory as a vindictive person,
- 29:02Speaker 1: but it does sort of, you know, maybe there's a
- 29:04Speaker 1: little satisfaction, you know, getting a little even, you know
- 29:10Speaker 1: with Mitcham who wounded her her ego so much with
- 29:15Speaker 1: his assessment of her skills as a journalist and her
- 29:20Speaker 1: metal as a human being and being not tough enough
- 29:24Speaker 1: to be in that business at a high level. So
- 29:28Speaker 1: she gets that type of revenge and then not that
- 29:31Speaker 1: she's seeking revenge, but it all seems to work out
- 29:33Speaker 1: in a Logan marriage scenario with a second kid, and
- 29:38Speaker 1: then you've got the storytelling that you were talking about.
- 29:42Speaker 1: How do you continue this storytelling? It's sort of a
- 29:45Speaker 1: Gilmore Huntsburger progeny, reliving maybe what is in their DNA
- 29:54Speaker 1: and rebelling against all of it, right, rebelling against the
- 29:59Speaker 1: Huntsburger side, embracing the Gilmore side, advice versa. But there's
- 30:02Speaker 1: that polarity right, right, So I just think that that
- 30:05Speaker 1: that's the best case scenario for the continued storytelling. And
- 30:09Speaker 1: I'm putting it out there because I'd like to adopt it.
- 30:11Speaker 1: I'd like the powers that be to adopt this, yeah,
- 30:15Speaker 1: because I think and I'm open to for the fans
- 30:18Speaker 1: to speculate on what a Rory Jess marriage ten years
- 30:23Speaker 1: in and second China and a Rory Dean marriage would be,
- 30:28Speaker 1: like what what could be you know, above and beyond
- 30:32Speaker 1: a divorce settlement but whatever, it doesn't really have to be.
- 30:36Speaker 1: But what's the storytelling, what's the lore of Gilmore girls?
- 30:40Speaker 1: How does it continue on with a Dean marriage? To
- 30:44Speaker 1: Ry versus a Jess marriage story, because we know, we
- 30:48Speaker 1: know about the Huntsburger side of things or how I
- 30:52Speaker 1: feel about it, But I think that's something to ponder.
- 30:55Speaker 3: I like the idea that it is Logan.
- 30:59Speaker 4: They do get married, he does cheat, there is a divorce,
- 31:05Speaker 4: and she ends up back in her roots.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Back in stars Hollow.
- 31:11Speaker 4: She comes home, she got a nice settlement, she can
- 31:14Speaker 4: start any business she wants, and Stars Hollow, and I
- 31:19Speaker 4: see Jess coming back into the picture. Dean's got lots
- 31:25Speaker 4: of kids with his wife, and you know, I see
- 31:29Speaker 4: her and Jess back together, you know. And then then
- 31:33Speaker 4: Logan's kind of like a Chris, you know, in a way.
- 31:37Speaker 3: He's kind of and then she wants kind of more
- 31:39Speaker 3: of her back to her.
- 31:40Speaker 4: Small town roots. I see him back full circle back home.
- 31:46Speaker 4: Well he's got a new daughter, daughter.
- 31:49Speaker 3: Another you know Gilmore girl coming on up.
- 31:53Speaker 1: And then there has to be a daughter. Yeah, maybe
- 31:57Speaker 1: maybe two, but yeah, all right, hi gang, you heard
- 32:02Speaker 1: it here. First, the speculation continues on what the new
- 32:06Speaker 1: storytelling could be. We would love to hear your feedback
- 32:10Speaker 1: on it, so everybody, uh, you know, let us know
- 32:13Speaker 1: on the socials and keep the cards and letters coming. Patty,
