  Speaker 1: his book reading Guilty that Rory and Paris attended. Megan,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: how is it watching your episode back?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: It was my first TV job, so when I see it,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: it's a little baby me who showed up. I had
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: no idea what I was doing whatsoever. It was my
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: second time on the Warner Brothers lot. The first time
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: was only to audition, so I just just look.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: At like young naive. I mean, it was twenty two
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: years ago.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: We shot that in two thousand and four, So I
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: just look at baby Me and I think, Wow, I
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: wish I could go back to that time now knowing.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: What I know. Well, before you got the role, were
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you were you a fan of the show.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: So I didn't watch the show simply because I didn't
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: have like a TV or cable. I had a bunch
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: of friends who watched it. And then also it was
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you know, I was a struggling artist, so I had,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: you know, four or five different side jobs, so I
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: wasn't really home a lot to be able to watch.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: But I hear my friends talking about it, so I
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: was very familiar, and I knew I was missing out
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: on something important.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Well we're going to talk about After Boom.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Episode nineteen, scenes four, Air date April twenty seven, two
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: thousand and four. Synopsis. Luke gets divorced. Jason gets pushed out,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: which makes Laurela I come to a difficult.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Decision between her parents and Jason.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Rory questions her grade with Professor Fleming in a hilarious scene,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and a major decision between Richard and Emily is figured
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: out by Laurel I. Directed by Michael Sindberg, written by
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Sheila Lawrence. Jason is getting snubbed out, Emily and Richard
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: are separated. Jason is at the golf riends trying to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: smooth things out over with some clients or former clients.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Doesn't know that they are former clients yet, but they
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: keep brushing him off. Then he tells Laurel I, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: we have another guest. And who is this very special
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: guest with those piercing eyes?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: This is Iris, the cat, Iris.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: The cat. Hello, Iris, My good look at those eyes.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Look at those.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: She's always trying desperately to be discovered, so.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Well, got my attention. Look at that? Huh, he tells
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Laura I. Jason tells Laura he got a call from
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Richard's lawyer that he's going back to work with Floyd,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Jason's father and taking all the clients. When Laura I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: can't believe her dad would do this, a lot of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: outrage to go around. Laurai goes to Richard and Emily's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to confront her dad about Jason. He gets upset because
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: all Laura I cares about is our boyfriend. Emily talks
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to Richard about it, concerned that Laurai is going to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: shut them out? Is it, Megan? Is it tough to hear?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: But I think Richard says Laura is justified when she
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: goes over to defend Jason.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. I don't love the Jason character.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I think that he know that he takes advantage. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: just think he's an opportune So I think that, you know, Lourla,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: she's those rose colored glasses on where she you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: just wants him to succeed in isn't really looking at
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the bigger picture in my opinion.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You do you agree with Do you agree with Richard
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that Laurla only think of what's happened to her boyfriend
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: rather than her own parents? And that's a pretty cutting
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: remark by Richard.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I agree, And.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Then even more cutting and what's even more disappointing Laura
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I is that I'm not surprised. It's like, whoa lowering
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the boom on his adult daughter? All right? Then for
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Emily to swing it back around defense with Laura I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: when she tells Richard she doesn't want her to lose
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: her as a result of this, it is that a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: surprising turn of events for you? No?
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I think, you know, I think her parents,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: like for how much kind of strife there is in
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the relationship, they.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: You know, they ultimately.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Love their daughter and they want to see her succeed
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and they want her to be happy.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: And I think they just they know Jason's not it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You know, what I love about this storyline is that
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: we see the Gilmore's close ranks and they band together
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and it's like, you're not I can't be with somebody
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: who's going to assume my family, and we're all going
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to stick together. And then we realize this is called
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a caused a rupture in Emily and rural Emily and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Richard's marriage, which is a very interesting development. Anyway, some
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: some real strange goings on in the Gilmore house. Everybody's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: breaking up. Laurla is breaking up with Jason, Luke's getting
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a divorce, her parents are split up. What is happening
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to this?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Well, well, good for learning, right, yeah, yeah, he seems
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: like thinking good spirits.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Hilarious scene by the way, really great scene inside the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: post office. Really just had a kick out of that one. Well, anyway,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: here we go, Rory more hilarious scenes. Uh. She gets
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: an A from Professor Fleming. She is suspicious about why
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: she got this a, having not the greatest confidence in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the quality of her paper. And then she well, let's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: just do it chronologically. Uh, she imparised attend the reading
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of professor Professor Fleming's new book. This gave me the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he b gbs a little bit. This this scene, the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: girls all all the young girls you included. You were
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the lead girl in this. Uh, we're going gaga over
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Professor Fleming. Uh. Doyle ends up telling Rory that he
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: has a new young fling every year, the Professor Fleming
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: has a new young player. And it had one of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the great lines in the entire episode because Dooyle walks
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in with a handful of cooks, he said, take some
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of these. I don't want to. I don't want people
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: thinking I'm a pig. What do you think of that scene?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Did watching it back? Did it make you uncomfortable? What
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: do you think about this relationship between between these two
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: with the with with such a huge gap and age difference.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I mean he's in his well into his sixties and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: she's a teenager.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a tale as old as time, isn't
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: it that you get, you know, someone with this kind
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: of rock star persona and in this I mean you
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Michael York is playing right, and you know he's an
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: older man, but he is so charming and you know what.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I remember walking into the audition and just like asking
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: questions because I wasn't watching the show, and they said
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: it's Michael York and I was like, oh, and I smiled.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I think he's just a great actor, and the idea
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: of like, oh, I could spend a day with him,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: and then on set he didn't disappoint, Like he is
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: just so lovely.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: In between takes, he was telling me the.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Most amazing stories about his life and being encouraging. And
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I kept holding the stack of books wrong and I
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: kept getting reprimanded by the script supervisor and he was like,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: it happens to me too, and he joked about how
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: fast everybody talks on the show, and like by the
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: end of it, I was like, I get it. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm in love with this guy. He's just
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: really so it makes sense.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: But but you know, age gap.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Relationships, some of them are okay, but a lot of
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: them are just inherently problematic.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I just don't think. I don't think it's anybody's business.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: You know. It's like it's hard enough to find, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that spark, and if you find it, who cares? It's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: just and every relationship, whether their age appropriate or not,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: or have inherent risk and inherent problems. And it's just
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it's like, I just this whole you know, this whole
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: thing about you know, it's just I just think people
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: should just my own business worry about they should worry.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: They should worry about themselves and their relationships. They got
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: they got enough problems. They don't need to worry about
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: other people.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I think the issue is when it's like you've got
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: the person in the position of power and it's like
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: there's a new girl every year, that it does make
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: people talk.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: But I don't know.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I got to say from being the Redhead, I.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Love that guy.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I met him at Paramount. There was an audition.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: There was a big audition for a movie called The
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Phantom that he was ultimately cast in, starring Billy Zayne,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And I was going in for the Billy Zaye part
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and obviously did get it. But I did meet him
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: in the room in the in the waiting room, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he was he was great. Yeah, I mean, he was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: just a very charming guy. And I remember watching him
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and when I was younger, you know, growing up, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: he was like the heart throb of all heart throbs
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and film, this this great looking guy who had this
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: real training behind him, like you know, the Shakespearean trained actor.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Just you know, he was everything that the entertainment world
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: wanted at that time and still does all right, So
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Rory thinks that her her grade isn't isn't deserved for
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: some reason. She thinks it's because you know, asher Is
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: is doing a little housekeeping and keeping you know, the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: people in in Paris's orbit happy and quiet. Maybe you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Well. She thinks she didn't do well
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: in questions fleming about it, wants to earn her grade,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: which can be taken one of two ways. Supposed she
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: knows about him, then she could have played it another
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: way and we had completed her meaning completed. But he
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: reassures her the reasons why she did do well and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: tells her never to question his grading tactic again. That
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: was some scene. That really was some scene, and the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: humor in it was And she made a comment about
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: your thighs.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the funny thing about that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: I mentioned.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: It was my first ever TV job, So when the
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: script was messengered over to me, I was so nervous.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I just focused on my scene. I was told one day,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: one scene, Okay, I didn't read the rest of the script.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: So when I met Alexis on set, she said to me,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: you don't have fat thighs at all.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think so.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: And I was appreciative of that, but I didn't get
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: the context. So I just thought it was like kind
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: of a strange remark.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: And I said thank you.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: And then when I watched the episode, then I was like, oh,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: that's what she meant.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: So you came on set thinking people were talking about your.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Fat thigh or it was, yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Like what's wrong with this cast? What's going on? Like casting?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Let everybody know, Hey there's a girl, new girl coming
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: on and she got big thighs.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just very very funny, you know it
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: kind of I just oh, oh, oh, thank you, you know.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: And obviously she meant no ill will. She was trying
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: to make me feel good about the But.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know the line was there, like I said,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: until I saw the full episode.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: So I learned a big lesson. Read the whole script.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, probably most of the time. Let me ask
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you this, do you think Rory should have confronted him?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And do you really feel that's the reason she confronted
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: him because she thought she didn't deserve the grave?
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Me think, I mean, I think her motive was after
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: you know what Danny Strong says to her. Also, Danny strong, amazing,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: amazing dude took me under his wing and made me
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: feel less like I didn't know what I was doing.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: He's like, oh, you just kind of fake it, you know.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Introduced me to the Violent Fems that day. I wasn't
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: really aware of their music, and Emembers like having some
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: downtime and he played some songs for me, and I.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Was liked, this band's great.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: But I think his remark to her, uh triggered, you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: because Rory's a protector, you know, she's always trying to
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: protect her mom.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: She's really the adult in this situation.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: So I think when he said that, it triggered something
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: in her that really wanted her to protect Paris. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: so I think the motivation of her to kind of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: bring that up is to also say, hey, I know
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: what you're up to to the professor, but without actually
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: saying that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: But why would she do that?
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Why on earth? But why on earth would she do that?
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Because young women are impulsive.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: That's why.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Just I don't know, I just she was so removed
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: from it during the signing, she was so creeped out
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: by the entire thing. We've vicariously experienced her her gross
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: out when they were making out and she spied them,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden she comes up and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: she why is there something deeper going on? Why would
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: she Why is that scene in the episode?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I think I think she wants to protect her friends,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and maybe there is a bit of her too that's
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: just so self conscious about.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Her own writing. You're right, because of after what Doyle
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: told her about, you know, the war, the revolving door
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that Fleming has.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think she doesn't want her friend to get hurt,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and I think she wanted to be like I, you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I know what you're up to. But you know, at
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: the same time, she is self conscious about her writing,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: and so I think it's it's too It's like a
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: double motivation.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Interesting seeing how good the writing is.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, what an incredible show.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: It's just you don't you just don't get this anywhere else.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I gotta admit, I love the actress who played Lane's replacement.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Just such a terrific job and such a funny thing.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: But it's like, I just think this is for me.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: This storyline is getting a little tired. Ah, and I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: thought it. I don't know that they're going into the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: house and kissing mom on the forehead and all that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: It just sort of felt a little melodramatic to me.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: It's just a little much. What is your reaction to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: about that? You know, Lane's constant outrage and constant It's
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: just like, I don't know it, it's just feeling a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: bit much for me. How do you feel about it?
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I think, I mean, I think Leanne needs to go
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: drum it out, boom boom. But you know, this is
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: also in two thousand. This is in two thousand and
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: four where we didn't all have like a phone on
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: us at all times. So it's so weird to see
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: someone just like walk into a house and like spy
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: on people without saying like, hey, I'm coming over or
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: something like that. And so that's kind of what about
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: that scene gave me the creeps. But in the in
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: the context of the time, maybe it's not so odd.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: But she's definitely I think she's struggling. You know, she's
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: kind of the mom to this band, and she's I
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: think she's really struggling to figure out where she fits in,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: and so seeing her mom giving this motherly attention to
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: another person who's not her, I think just really sets
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: her off, and she seems to have a hard time
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: just self regulating about it. And my whole thing is
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: to ask your mom, why Just talk to your mom
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: about what's going on. Just say, hey, who's that new girl?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Why is she wearing my clothes? That's how I would
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: confront something, not just make up something.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: In my head, the writer in me wants to I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: want Lane to go on a bender. I really want
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: her to go on a bender. I don't want her
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to go in the house and kiss her mama on
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the forehead. I want Lane to go on such a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: bender that her mom has to come look for her
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and kiss her on the forehead. You know what I mean?
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: What I think that's what bothers me about it. It's like,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: stop going to her, Yeah, do your thing, drum, go
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to the end of it. Get involved with some bad
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: people or good people that do some shots. Come on, man, right,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: take it to the end of it. That's what I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: wanted to say, But I don't know if the show
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: can accommodate that. Do you think that's what are the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: boundaries of show? Do you think that's outside the boundaries
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: of this show?
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like there's a world where your
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: version is maybe what was existing first and then the
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: you know network comes in and was like what if not?
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: You know, I found like for a lot of my
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: friends who are working writers, you know, they'll have a
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: great idea and then win something. You're watching a show
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: and there's scene or a kind of closure on something
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: that seems just a little too like, like you said, melodramatic.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: You asked them later in they're usual like studio note.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: So maybe it was a situation like that where they
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: didn't want to promote you know, binge drinking or something
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: thing it was sacrony.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but this show does that. But I thought they
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: do that, they do it better than how they did
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: it there. And I just I don't know who cares
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: what I think. After a band meeting pre prepping for
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a gig, Lane leaves for the grocery shore. But on
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: it while we know this that confrontation with and I
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: just I apologize for not knowing her name. She was
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: on the show, she was on the podcast. Susan Lee. Yeah,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Susan Lee. Susan Lee was a great guest and it
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: was just such a great performance.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: That scene is so funny, and.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I see I wanted to see more of her. Yeah,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it's like, give me, give me more of her, give
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: me that relationship and stop with the Lane feeling mooney
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: about it all the time. And I want to see
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: missus him and and Susan Lee go, you know, existing
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and bonding. That's what I want to say. Anyway, who
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: cares what I think? Did I just say that.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: People care what you think?
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So I thought the gig was pretty darn good, right,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: They sounded really good.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: That's my friend Todd Lowe in there in the band.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's getting all the chicks, you know.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: And that was also a very cool You know, when
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: you're an actor, a lot of times your family is
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: like they don't quite understand what you do for a living.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: But I had a cousin who was a huge fan
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: of skid Row, So when she watched the episode, she
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, you're in the.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Same episode as Sebastian Bach.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: And so for a little moment, I was cool, Well,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: at least you had that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So they do the gig and they're
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: rocking and they've hit a new level and things couldn't
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: be better.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: But oh sad little Lane. I mean, it's like, damn it,
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: and I'm just screaming at the screen. Stop feeling sorry
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: for yourself and go on a bender, Go have some
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: damn fun.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Why are you doing this? This is not an empty
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: dream that without mommy, it doesn't mean anything. It's like
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: this is your dream, right, Yeah, so I was a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: little confused. I wanted her to, yeah, throw back some shots,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: get a little wild, you.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Know, find someone to make out with.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Find somebody to answer with. At least, you know, maybe
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: it's a girl, maybe it's two girls. So come on
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a little spice it up a little bit. Anyway, sad
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: little Lane heads home, goes through buying's exchange student room,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and then she goes becauses her sleeping mother on the forehead.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: All right, you know, no question. Definitely sweet moments in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a sweet show. I'm sure the fans responded positively to this.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I did not. I just did. I did not like
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: these scenes. And I'm going to be right up front
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: with you about it. I just wanted to go I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: don't know. I just think when you got a chance,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and especially in a show like this, right where you
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: expect it to be, you know, a little polyannish, no dark,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: when you can go dark, a little bit. You know,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you don't have to go you know, to go all
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the way, to just go dark, just push it off
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit, all right. Final thoughts, Final thoughts overall,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: what do you think of the episode?
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: It's a pretty fun episode, A lots accomplished, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: from Luke's divorce to kind of we get rid of
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Jason by the end, right he's so it just it
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: seems to really in terms of the characters, give them
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: a lot of resolution to move forward in their storylines.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, I loved, you know, starting off with the
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Luke divorce. I just thought it was like his nonchalant
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: miss about it of going into just like a mailboxes,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: et cetera, to just sign a form and what it
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: means to him versus what it means to Laura. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: just thought that was a really interesting conversation, and it's
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: a conversation that I think a lot of people have about,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: you know, what does the paperwork mean and what is
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: the dissolution of a marriage. I just thought it was
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: so smart and bringing into different perspectives. You know, the
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: dinner party scene where you know you're just trying to
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: figure out like what's going on with Mom and like
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: that's really clever.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Are you sorry to see Jason go? No, it looks
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: like he's going. You never you never bought into that,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: You didn't.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't think that he was right for her.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: It just there was a like I get what she
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: liked him, but there was just something about him where
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, there's like a darkness in that character,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: like that cutthroat miss.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Then I just think she deserves better.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, he he sprung onto the scene with
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: bad intentions, didn't he? I mean right from the get go.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And Emily sniffed him out right away. So yeah, he
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to be a pillar here.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: His wardrobe everybody on this show is impeccably dressed, and
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: every time he was on Stred I was like, what
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: is he wearing?
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: He just kind of looks like a jerk.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: And do you remember the scene where, you know, after
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: they first where they consummated their relationship and he didn't
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: want her to sleep in the bed with him, so
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: he put her in the gas room. Did you see
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: that episode? Remember?
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I remember that? Yeah? I haven't thought about it a
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: long time.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, But you know, the thing, the thing I
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: liked about it is like he really owned his quirkiness
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and he justified it for me. I'm like, all right,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: all right, you know, he put her in a good
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: room and she's happy as a plan, but very strange.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So it was never going to amount too much. You know, placeholders,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you know, have their place, and he was definitely a placeholder.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: So what are you doing now? Tell us about any
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: new projects or anything that you're getting into now.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm still in the game. Hold on for
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: dear life. You know, the industry has definitely changed, you
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: know since we had the twenty plus episode seasons. But so,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: something I did while I was simultaneously acting in the
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: in the mid two thousands was I was also producing
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of music videos and commercials and so and
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: indie films, and so I've been doing a lot of
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: that lately. And I've got like three things with first
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: time female directors that we've made that are in post
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: production I'm so excited about. And then the thing I
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: can talk about that I've acted in is this film
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: it's called Grossies Padre that we shot last year in Masolan, Mexico,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: from a first time writer, director Jen Kuhn, and it's
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: based on her real life story of finding out at
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: age forty that she was the product of sperm donation,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: and she because of twenty three and me, and she
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: kind of tracks down who she.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Believes her biological father to be.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: She doesn't confront him, but she's written a story about
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: what if she did confront him. So I got to
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: play her half sister in it. And we all moved
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: to Mexico for a little while and shot it, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: it's she's just now finished it. It's having its first
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: screening soon and then I guess we'll see where it
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: goes from there. You never know with an indie film.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: But that's the one thing I can talk about that
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I'm excited about.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: That's very exciting. Have you seen a rough cut?
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: And is it good? You like it?
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just was so beautiful there. Everything's really colorful.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: And we were on the beach a lot, and that's
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: shot beautifully.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Mazitlan, Mexico. Where is that it's.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: It's down by Wahaka.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a two and a half hour plane
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: ride from Los Angeles, so.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: You're down by the Wahaka. Beaches are incredible down there.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was just beautiful.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I took a vacation down there one hundred years ago,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and I've never seen beaches that beautiful.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I mean they're just so and you know when you
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: go to the restaurants and you know all the fish
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: it was caught that day, everything, I mean, the food
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: that was, the people. It was just really an incredible experience.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: And right in the center of town there was this
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: music school, and when the lessons were going on and
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: rehearsals were going on, it's all open air. So you
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: would be walking through the streets, like on the way
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: back from getting a coffee, and you would just hear
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: music echoing just all through the neighborhood. And my most
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: magical experience was coming back from a coffee walk and
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: hearing the strings section of their orchestra playing eleanor Rigby.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, do do do like?
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: It was really magical.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Oh. The Mexican people are just They're just gorgeous people,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: aren't they. They're so giving and generous. Oh, they just
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: they just take care of you. There's it's such a beautiful,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: beautiful country. Yeah, I mean that experience on those beaches, wow,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: And there's nobody on them, and I'm sure we've just
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: ruined it. Haven't we.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Well, there there was a couple of days, like on
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: the weekends, they were definitely a little more crowded.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Oh is that right with families?
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And well we were there in like March and
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: April when it's very warm, but it's not stifling yet
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: with the heat in the summer.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I guess it's impossible.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: But so it was just like really perfect, like eighty
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: five degrees.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I I didn't want to leave. Tell you did
• 29:33

• 29:50
  Speaker 3: on a show like this that's so iconic and legendary,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: made by truly talented people in a way that they
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: just don't make TV shows anymore.
