Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am all in again.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Oh let's kiss you. Hi am all in again with
- 0:19Speaker 2: Scott Patterson and iHeartRadio Podcast.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Hi everyone, this is Susanne. We're doing a quick episode
- 0:27Speaker 1: of Stars Hollow Journal Happy New Year from the Warner
- 0:31Speaker 1: Brothers Studio in beautiful downtown Bourbank. Well we're not downtown,
- 0:35Speaker 1: but beautiful Burbank, California. It's we're recording this. It's January,
- 0:41Speaker 1: first rainy day in Los Angeles. It was really raining
- 0:45Speaker 1: this morning on the parade. I felt bad for all
- 0:47Speaker 1: the marching bands. But we're getting a break right now.
- 0:51Speaker 1: It's cloudy but not raining, so hopefully that holds a
- 0:55Speaker 1: little bit. We're sitting here in the in Scott's trailer
- 0:59Speaker 1: away eating Scott's arrival for his daily visit to holidays
- 1:04Speaker 1: made here, which there's a ton of pictures on social media.
- 1:09Speaker 1: It's everybody's having a great time, including us. And yeah,
- 1:16Speaker 1: so we're just going to have a conversation here before
- 1:18Speaker 1: Scott gets here. So I'm sitting here with my husband
- 1:21Speaker 1: John Hello, and he's he's part of the team here.
- 1:26Speaker 1: That's just kind of helping with pictures and everything going
- 1:31Speaker 1: on with Scott's visits at the at the set, so
- 1:36Speaker 1: I thought it would be interesting to have a conversation
- 1:38Speaker 1: because one of the things that has struck me. I mean,
- 1:41Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls typically is geared to a female demographic across
- 1:48Speaker 1: multiple generations, but there's a lot of men that like
- 1:52Speaker 1: to watch it too, And I think a lot of
- 1:54Speaker 1: men kind of start out just seeing bits of it
- 1:58Speaker 1: here and there as their significant others are watching it,
- 2:01Speaker 1: but then they end up actually liking the show themselves.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Which I don't want to speak for you, so I'll
- 2:07Speaker 1: let I'll let you tell your story of Gilmore Girls.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Yes, that I think is true. I know I've seen
- 2:15Speaker 3: the show at least twice through. Now i'd say because
- 2:20Speaker 3: of you sounds a little harsh, but uh, I think
- 2:23Speaker 3: as a result of your fandom.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I would say that's accurate, because I do remember the
- 2:28Speaker 1: first time I watched it through and I was so
- 2:30Speaker 1: completely enamored of it. I was like, you need to
- 2:33Speaker 1: sit down and watch this with me because I'm immediately
- 2:36Speaker 1: rewatching it and you're gonna do it too.
- 2:38Speaker 3: So and I did.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I enjoyed it.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I have enjoyed it. It's it's a fun show to watch.
- 2:43Speaker 3: All the characters are great, they're they're hysterical, they're moving there,
- 2:48Speaker 3: they're fun. Just to listen to the speech pattern. Everybody
- 2:52Speaker 3: talks about how it's so fast, and it is and
- 2:54Speaker 3: I don't know how they get through it. Yeah, I
- 2:56Speaker 3: would be stumbling over my words like crazy tr oh yeah.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Scott has talked about how it's just like pages and
- 3:02Speaker 1: pages of text. You know, usually a script has like
- 3:05Speaker 1: stage directions and things like that, so it you know,
- 3:07Speaker 1: the pages don't have a lot of actual dialogue on them.
- 3:10Speaker 1: But Gilmour, it was just paragraphs and paragraphs that they
- 3:12Speaker 1: had to learn.
- 3:14Speaker 3: That would be how they people do it.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so yeah. John is is sort of at
- 3:21Speaker 1: the point in his Gilmore Girls evolution where he could
- 3:25Speaker 1: quote the show almost as well as I can, and
- 3:28Speaker 1: he actually pulls out quotes that I don't even remember,
- 3:32Speaker 1: and I'll see, what's that from. He's like, oh, it's
- 3:34Speaker 1: from Gilmore. Like he may not necessarily remember which episode
- 3:36Speaker 1: it was, but he knows he heard it somewhere, so he's, uh,
- 3:40Speaker 1: I know.
- 3:40Speaker 3: It's something parasit or something one of the other characters.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Necessarily I like to pull off like Kurt quotes and yes,
- 3:46Speaker 3: goofy things that you may not remember.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So it's it's kind of cool, like because
- 3:52Speaker 1: a lot of people that were meeting during the meet
- 3:54Speaker 1: and greets are talking about how I watched this with
- 3:56Speaker 1: my mom and my grandma and my daughter, and but
- 3:59Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of couples that
- 4:01Speaker 1: are watching it too, which I think doesn't get talked
- 4:05Speaker 1: about that often. But it's it's pretty cool, like everybody
- 4:07Speaker 1: can enjoy the show, and we are seeing here at
- 4:11Speaker 1: the event, we're seeing a lot of you know, spouses
- 4:16Speaker 1: or you know, boyfriends, whatever, partners that you know, they
- 4:20Speaker 1: want to get their own picture with Scott because they're
- 4:22Speaker 1: just as much a fan, you know, as whoever they
- 4:26Speaker 1: got dragged to the event with. So so yeah, it's
- 4:30Speaker 1: just been fun to watch. I think it may have
- 4:34Speaker 1: been talked about in a different episode, but there was
- 4:36Speaker 1: a social media video of I think it was the
- 4:39Speaker 1: first day, a whole group of men in plaid shirts
- 4:43Speaker 1: and backwards baseball caps that were waiting outside the women's
- 4:46Speaker 1: room for their for their friends to come or their
- 4:49Speaker 1: partners to come out, and it was just really funny
- 4:51Speaker 1: that there were all these lukes sitting there outside the
- 4:54Speaker 1: lady's room. So yeah, I think the character of Luke
- 4:58Speaker 1: specifically resonates with lot of people, like I don't see
- 5:02Speaker 1: I don't see any Jesses walking around or any max
- 5:06Speaker 1: Is certainly no Christopher's. But yeah, I think I think
- 5:11Speaker 1: that that people like the Luke character and everybody's you know,
- 5:17Speaker 1: happy to come in and uh take the picture with
- 5:21Speaker 1: Scott and and there was I was going to talk
- 5:27Speaker 1: about the rest room. So the restrooms. On the first day,
- 5:34Speaker 1: the lady's room had a huge line, which you know,
- 5:37Speaker 1: is we're all used to that. And so then the
- 5:40Speaker 1: next day they had converted the men's room to a
- 5:42Speaker 1: women's room and they brought in porta potties, so the
- 5:45Speaker 1: men had to use the porta potties.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Three outside for the men and now the women's rooms
- 5:51Speaker 3: two actual restrooms.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so it works, And yeah it did cut
- 5:55Speaker 1: down the line.
- 5:56Speaker 3: I have no issues with that. Yeah, that was pretty.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Another thing that really has struck me just being at
- 6:06Speaker 1: the meet and greets is how like where people have
- 6:09Speaker 1: traveled from. We are meeting people from all over the
- 6:13Speaker 1: country and all over the world. And when I was
- 6:16Speaker 1: here the other day there Scott was talking to a
- 6:19Speaker 1: group that had come from Italy and the group of
- 6:22Speaker 1: people standing next to him was from Poland, Like, it
- 6:25Speaker 1: was just insane. And you met Elaine, you met people
- 6:28Speaker 1: yesterday from the UK. We've met people from Canada, Australia, Brazil.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's amazing to me that this little show,
- 6:39Speaker 1: you know, it was little at the time that it aired,
- 6:42Speaker 1: has just mushroomed into this giant global phenomenon. And you know,
- 6:47Speaker 1: people are coming from all literally all over the world
- 6:51Speaker 1: to see the set and to meet Scott and to
- 6:54Speaker 1: get their picture taken at the gazebo and go see
- 6:57Speaker 1: Laurelized house. And it's it's just it's amazing how people
- 7:01Speaker 1: have connectedly.
- 7:02Speaker 3: Incredible to see all these people that have told us
- 7:05Speaker 3: that they planned their trip around coming to this event. Yes,
- 7:09Speaker 3: it's not like they're doing this because they're already in
- 7:11Speaker 3: la right, this was the reason that they have come here.
- 7:14Speaker 3: And that's like mind blowing. Yeah, that's the pull of
- 7:17Speaker 3: the show, which is amazing.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's and it's crazy. And I'm seeing
- 7:20Speaker 1: comments in some of the Facebook groups but also on
- 7:24Speaker 1: Instagram where people will post their pictures and then other
- 7:27Speaker 1: people will comment saying where is this happening? I need
- 7:30Speaker 1: to go to this, like they you know, the word
- 7:32Speaker 1: didn't get out to them or whatever, and they're they're saying, Okay,
- 7:34Speaker 1: we're doing this next year, and they're tagging their friends saying,
- 7:37Speaker 1: we have to do this next year. So it's it's
- 7:40Speaker 1: just it's really cool to to have this thing that
- 7:43Speaker 1: everybody is kind of bonding over, and it's it's very
- 7:46Speaker 1: fun to walk around stars Hollow in the backlot area
- 7:49Speaker 1: because everybody is happy to be there, and you know,
- 7:53Speaker 1: some things do have some lines, but but you line
- 7:58Speaker 1: up and the people that you're standing in front of
- 8:01Speaker 1: her standing behind you're all there for the same thing,
- 8:03Speaker 1: and you strike up conversations and you get to know people,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and it's just it's really cool. It's just a good phenomenon.
- 8:11Speaker 3: The whole town has done so well. Yes, it really
- 8:15Speaker 3: looks like what it did in the show, so you
- 8:18Speaker 3: feel immersed in it, right, and the shops are the same,
- 8:21Speaker 3: and they rebuilt Miss Patti's and then the tree lighting
- 8:24Speaker 3: and the lights of it. It's amazing to walk around.
- 8:26Speaker 3: It's beautiful at night to see everything lit up, and
- 8:29Speaker 3: people have described it as magical, and it really is.
- 8:31Speaker 3: It's amazing to walk around and see that. You got
- 8:34Speaker 3: to remember, you're not in a real town, right. This
- 8:37Speaker 3: is so well done that it almost looks you feel like, wow,
- 8:39Speaker 3: this is a really cool place. I wonder where I
- 8:41Speaker 3: can live here?
- 8:41Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And they've really expanded it this year.
- 8:46Speaker 1: So they have on the backside of what we know
- 8:52Speaker 1: as stars Hollow High, there's a row of stores back there,
- 8:54Speaker 1: and that's where stars Hollow Video is in the show.
- 8:57Speaker 1: That's where Western's Bakery is, and they've brought they've recreated
- 9:01Speaker 1: all of those, So I hope that when people are
- 9:05Speaker 1: here that and they walk into Weston's Bakery, I hope
- 9:08Speaker 1: they realize that's the actual room where they shot the
- 9:12Speaker 1: Western's Bakery scene. So you can like look around and think, oh,
- 9:15Speaker 1: that's where you know, Lauren and Alexis were sitting there
- 9:18Speaker 1: when they did this scene. And this is where Alexis
- 9:21Speaker 1: and Jared were sitting when they did that scene, and
- 9:23Speaker 1: they're yes, just the pie, see he just did it.
- 9:31Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. So I hope they're appreciating
- 9:36Speaker 1: that that, like, these are the actual locations where our
- 9:39Speaker 1: favorite stars were sitting when those scenes happened, which is
- 9:43Speaker 1: crazy to me. To think about, and that's that's part
- 9:45Speaker 1: of the magic of being here at Warner Brothers is
- 9:48Speaker 1: this is where it all actually happened, Like these are
- 9:51Speaker 1: these are the streets that they walk down, and that's
- 9:53Speaker 1: the gazebo they sat in. And some things are recreated,
- 9:58Speaker 1: so like the dragonfly is not in the original building
- 10:01Speaker 1: because that building doesn't exist anymore and it wasn't even
- 10:04Speaker 1: on this lot anyways, it was down the street. But
- 10:07Speaker 1: so some things are recreations, but there are you know,
- 10:11Speaker 1: a lot of it is where the actual scenes took
- 10:14Speaker 1: place in the show. And for me, that's the coolest thing.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Like there's you know, various conventions and things all over
- 10:22Speaker 1: the country, and you know, if you listen to this podcast,
- 10:26Speaker 1: you know, Tara and I went to one back in
- 10:28Speaker 1: April that was in Connecticut and it was super fun,
- 10:32Speaker 1: Like it's it's really cool to be in a small
- 10:35Speaker 1: New England town that looks just like stars Hollow and
- 10:37Speaker 1: be with other Gilmore fans. That was a great experience.
- 10:41Speaker 1: But it's different to be here where it actually occurred,
- 10:46Speaker 1: even though it's not I mean, we're in la it's
- 10:51Speaker 1: it's not you know, New England, but it's i don't know.
- 10:53Speaker 1: To me, That's what I love about it is that
- 10:56Speaker 1: like this is where everything Like you can look at
- 10:58Speaker 1: the at your screen and be like, I want down
- 11:00Speaker 1: that street. I stood next to that fire hydrant. You know,
- 11:04Speaker 1: I got back, Yes, the coffee and luke Bar. Yeah,
- 11:07Speaker 1: And that's going back to the thing about Weston's. It's
- 11:10Speaker 1: Luke's is the same way, Like you get to go
- 11:12Speaker 1: inside Luke's and you're standing there looking around like you know, well,
- 11:16Speaker 1: like we were talking to a couple maybe last week sometime,
- 11:20Speaker 1: I was thinking about the Thanksgiving episode where they're sitting
- 11:23Speaker 1: there and you know, Laurel I takes the marshmallows off
- 11:27Speaker 1: of Luke's plate after she sends him to go get more,
- 11:30Speaker 1: and you know, this is where the four of that
- 11:33Speaker 1: this table right here is where the four of them
- 11:35Speaker 1: were sitting having their Thanksgiving dinner. And you know, thinking
- 11:38Speaker 1: of all the times that Laurel I and and Rory
- 11:42Speaker 1: were sitting at the bar and you know, having something
- 11:45Speaker 1: to eat or having some coffee or whatever like that
- 11:47Speaker 1: all happened like right in this location. And it's just
- 11:50Speaker 1: it's just really cool. So if you ever get the
- 12:01Speaker 1: chance to do this, I highly recommend it. And this
- 12:06Speaker 1: year the merchandise is off the hook, like there's a
- 12:11Speaker 1: crazy amount of merchandise and it's all super cool. And
- 12:15Speaker 1: I have basically just emptied my bank account into the
- 12:19Speaker 1: Warner Brothers bank account.
- 12:21Speaker 3: That is the truth.
- 12:24Speaker 1: And it's just really cool. And you know, all of
- 12:27Speaker 1: Scott's products are here. There's there's coffee, there's hot chocolate,
- 12:32Speaker 1: there's pancake mix, there's tea, there's jam it's all Scott's products.
- 12:36Speaker 1: And I will say the candy cane coffee. So we have,
- 12:41Speaker 1: you know the Christmas episode where they wouldn't serve Laurel
- 12:44Speaker 1: I candy cane coffee because it was December twenty sixth.
- 12:48Speaker 1: You can get candy cane coffee in Weston's Bakery today
- 12:53Speaker 1: and it's it's We actually went and bought more, like
- 12:56Speaker 1: I had a bag, but we went and bought more
- 12:59Speaker 1: because it is. It's really good.
- 13:01Speaker 3: And there's other those are flying off the shelves.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Yes, it's yeah, it's just going like gangbusters. They're Also
- 13:09Speaker 1: if you're in the LA area and you don't have
- 13:11Speaker 1: tickets for the event the studio tour gift shop, you
- 13:16Speaker 1: don't need a ticket for you can just park and
- 13:18Speaker 1: walk in and shop to your heart's content. And they
- 13:21Speaker 1: have the coffees there as well. But so Elean, what
- 13:25Speaker 1: are the flavors. There's there's the candy Cane, there's tailors
- 13:31Speaker 1: in no ice cream, pecan, yes, Cozy Blend. Yeah, so
- 13:39Speaker 1: I have to try that one. I have a bag
- 13:41Speaker 1: of the whole being espresso. I have to give that
- 13:43Speaker 1: one a shot. Locations, yeah, right, So the the merchandise
- 13:52Speaker 1: locations are kind of broken up by themes. So obviously
- 13:56Speaker 1: like stars Hollow Video, you can buy Stars Hollow Video
- 13:59Speaker 1: t shirts and magnets and things like that. The tea's
- 14:02Speaker 1: are available at the Dragonfly, and then outside of Lukes
- 14:06Speaker 1: there's a little stand where you can place your order.
- 14:08Speaker 1: You can buy the bags of coffee there, and then
- 14:10Speaker 1: there's more in Dosi's market, so they're kind of like
- 14:13Speaker 1: placed around. And then there's a larger store that's the Mercantile,
- 14:18Speaker 1: and that's where there's a ton of Luke's merchandise and
- 14:21Speaker 1: also like general Stars Hollow kind of things. And that
- 14:26Speaker 1: is if you think of Bootsy's news stand, that is
- 14:29Speaker 1: the building where Bootsy's news stand was. So the news
- 14:33Speaker 1: stand was actually just in front of the building. It
- 14:35Speaker 1: wasn't inside the building, but that's where the merchandise stores.
- 14:38Speaker 1: It was also just to go kind of off topic,
- 14:43Speaker 1: it was also the cafe in La La Land where
- 14:47Speaker 1: I can't remember the character's name where she worked, but
- 14:51Speaker 1: Emma Stone. Yeah. So anyways, so yeah, there's just really
- 14:57Speaker 1: a lot of ways to spend your money here today.
- 15:02Speaker 3: I think one of the just to kind of change
- 15:03Speaker 3: Topic's one of the fun things that they did this
- 15:05Speaker 3: year that I don't remember them doing before is that
- 15:08Speaker 3: they've hired actors to play different towns people. Yes, so
- 15:11Speaker 3: there's a Michelle, there's Suki, there's the Troubadour, there's different.
- 15:17Speaker 1: There's a Taylor and a Miss Patty.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Yeah, they're in different spots playing those roles, and it's
- 15:23Speaker 3: really fun because it adds to the flavor of the town.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you do a really good job of it too.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I think that was definitely a good ad because it
- 15:32Speaker 1: really does make it feel like stars hollow. They I
- 15:35Speaker 1: think everybody probably knows by now. They rebuilt Miss Patti's
- 15:38Speaker 1: just for this event, and then they have town meetings
- 15:42Speaker 1: going on I think every hour, every half hour something
- 15:45Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, and they're led by a Taylor and
- 15:48Speaker 1: Miss Patty, and clearly these actors, you know, watch the
- 15:52Speaker 1: show or at least parts of it to kind of
- 15:56Speaker 1: get in their role, because they really do a good
- 15:58Speaker 1: job of picking up those characters. And you know, on occasion,
- 16:02Speaker 1: Luke busts into a town meeting with a rant about
- 16:06Speaker 1: something and he and Taylor just play off of each
- 16:09Speaker 1: other like it's just it's so much fun to watch.
- 16:13Speaker 1: And there's you know, a lady sitting outside the knitting
- 16:15Speaker 1: store and if you ask her what she's doing, she says,
- 16:17Speaker 1: she's she's knitting. She's knitting hats for Lane's twins or
- 16:22Speaker 1: something like that. And there's a couple of different troubadours
- 16:25Speaker 1: I've seen. I've seen two different troubadours walking around the
- 16:29Speaker 1: Suki at the Dragonfly. She she is brilliant. She was
- 16:34Speaker 1: really channeling Suki. And then they even have the characters
- 16:39Speaker 1: at the in Dosie's Market when we were there, when
- 16:42Speaker 1: I was in there on the preview day, Taylor was
- 16:44Speaker 1: in there and you know, being Taylor, So yeah, it
- 16:50Speaker 1: was it was good. There's just they've put so much
- 16:53Speaker 1: creativity into it, and there's there's things, Oh, there's a
- 16:56Speaker 1: gypsy too. There's Gypsy over at the at the auto repair.
- 17:00Speaker 1: There's things I haven't even seen yet. There's like Richard
- 17:03Speaker 1: and Emily's they kind of recreated their dining room and
- 17:06Speaker 1: apparently there's one of Emily's maids is in there, so
- 17:10Speaker 1: we'll have to go check that out. But uh, yeah,
- 17:13Speaker 1: I just hats off to Warner Brothers. It's just been
- 17:16Speaker 1: such a fun experience and everybody, without fail, everyone that
- 17:20Speaker 1: works here is so nice and they're so helpful, and
- 17:24Speaker 1: it's it's I'm sure it's busy and stressful for them,
- 17:27Speaker 1: but you would never be able to tell that from
- 17:29Speaker 1: your interactions with them, because they are just they seem
- 17:32Speaker 1: like they're having as good of a time as everybody else.
- 17:35Speaker 1: And their their hospitality towards us has been very appreciated, accommodating, friendly,
- 17:41Speaker 1: they've been taking good care of us. So yeah, So
- 17:44Speaker 1: any of any final thoughts before we wrap this up.
- 17:48Speaker 3: No, this has been really fun. There's a lot of
- 17:51Speaker 3: it's kind of a drive going back and forth, but
- 17:53Speaker 3: it's it's good.
- 17:54Speaker 1: It's fun because it helps that it's a holiday week
- 17:57Speaker 1: so the traffic isn't too bad.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Yes, and you know, it's always funn hang out Scott anyway.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's Scott. Like we said, Scott's gonna Scott.
- 18:06Speaker 3: Scott's gonna Scott. Johnny good Times that's me. That's my
