Speaker 1: I am all in.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's you.
Speaker 3: I am all in with Scott Patterson an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Hi Amy, Hi?
Speaker 4: How you doing good?
Speaker 2: How are you good?
Speaker 1: I'm here with Suzanne.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 5: Amy, It's good to see you again.
Speaker 2: Hi. Nice to see you again as well.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited with these guys now that I'm.
Speaker 2: Not happy to see you as well, So that I
Speaker 2: am that I get it.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 4: We wanted to get a little real life perspective compared
Speaker 4: to April Luke and Lorelei situation. Amy had mentioned she
Speaker 4: wanted you to come on back for season seven, episode
Speaker 4: nineteen for very special reason. So let's let's get on
Speaker 4: with it and chat about it, shall we.
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, iHeart podcasts.
Speaker 1: Listen on the iHeartRadio app. Amy.
Speaker 4: What is the special reason you wanted to come back
Speaker 4: for this episode? Tell?
Speaker 3: It was mainly so you guys watched episode nineteen already, right,
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, So you know the whole situation of
Speaker 3: them breaking up and then them having the argument about
Speaker 3: the car and her wanting to fix that car, and
Speaker 3: of course Luke's got to be Luke and do everything
Speaker 3: he can and do what he can to fix that
Speaker 3: car for her. I was actually in a similar situation
Speaker 3: with my husband, and in that moment, I was like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, we are so Luke and Loreli today,
Speaker 3: and he started laughing.
Speaker 2: He's like wow.
Speaker 3: I was like, well, you know, and I played the
Speaker 3: episode again and he saw it. And it kind of
Speaker 3: stemmed from when I moved out of my mom's house
Speaker 3: to go live with him. She wasn't very happy about it,
Speaker 3: and she was like, you know, you can take your
Speaker 3: purse with you and you can go. So I didn't
Speaker 3: have a car. So my husband was like, you know,
Speaker 3: we'll buy a car off this, this and that. So
Speaker 3: we did, and then about six years later, it ended
Speaker 3: up breaking down and I had the same moment like Lorelai,
Speaker 3: like we've had so many memories with this car. We
Speaker 3: brought our children home from the hospital with this car.
Speaker 3: Like I cried and cried and cried. I wouldn't let
Speaker 3: it go. And he did exactly like Luke. He went
Speaker 3: on craigslist. He did what he could. I think it
Speaker 3: cost us about eight thousand dollars to fix a two
Speaker 3: thousand dollars car. Yeah, but it was just like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, that is so like a Luke moment and
Speaker 3: it just, you know, it blew my mind. And in
Speaker 3: that moment, I'm like, they have to get back together.
Speaker 3: You know, watching it the first time, it's like, how
Speaker 3: can they not get back together after something like that?
Speaker 3: So when I had mentioned it to Amy and you know,
Speaker 3: to Danielle and then I'm like, oh my god, my
Speaker 3: husband did something you know, the almost exactly that to
Speaker 3: that teeth, I was like, I have to tell you
Speaker 3: guys that I have to tell God at least you
Speaker 3: know what that situation was, just because it was a
Speaker 3: difficult relationship in the sense of my mom is very
Speaker 3: much Emily. You have a Emily meets He's a Mommy
Speaker 3: Dearest type of thing. And she was just very disapproving
Speaker 3: and he was like, no, we're gonna do it. We're
Speaker 3: gonna make it work. And you know, she that's how
Speaker 3: she sent you, and that's how you come, and we'll
Speaker 3: do this together and we'll make it work. And We've
Speaker 3: had so many Luke and Loreli moments and I was like,
Speaker 3: there's no way I can't. I can't tell him about this.
Speaker 4: So what other ways does your husband resemble Luke?
Speaker 3: He is just like the most honestly the most giving person,
Speaker 3: the kindest person. He will take his shirt off his
Speaker 3: back to give it to you. He's gonna feed everybody,
Speaker 3: regardless if we have it or not. He's just so
Speaker 3: much in that Luke sense. And you know, he has
Speaker 3: a daughter prior to our relationship, and you know all
Speaker 3: of that, and he's great with her. He's you know,
Speaker 3: they've done dates and stuff and you know, spend father
Speaker 3: daughter time together and he's just done. He's a lot
Speaker 3: like Luke in that sense. And he's very big brothery
Speaker 3: to everybody he needs. It doesn't matter if he's done
Speaker 3: you five years, five minutes. He's just such a kind
Speaker 3: hearted person.
Speaker 1: Does he rant? Does he kind of flip out once.
Speaker 2: In a while, Yeah he does, he does.
Speaker 3: He has ADHD, so he does not stop. Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: a he does not stop. And he's talking and talking
Speaker 3: and you can barely meet him and you're not going
Speaker 3: to get a word in edgeways with him.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, wow. Okay, yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: So when you first watch this episode, how did it
Speaker 4: make you feel when Luke found Lorelized cheap on Craiglist.
Speaker 3: So the very first time I saw this episode, I
Speaker 3: hadn't even met my husband. Yet because I watched the
Speaker 3: series when it first aired, and when I remember seeing
Speaker 3: that episode and thinking, God, I would love to find
Speaker 3: somebody like you know, as a teenager you don't always assume, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm going to find someone like that, but man, I
Speaker 3: prayed and wanted someone like that in that sense because
Speaker 3: to me, Luke is the ultimate that is, that is
Speaker 3: the guy, that's the guy you just dreamed for with
Speaker 3: faults and all.
Speaker 4: So has your husband watched Gilmore Girls?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, it stays on.
Speaker 3: My daughter is so mad because I locked her in
Speaker 3: the room and she's like, I want to meet Luke.
Speaker 2: Mommy.
Speaker 3: She's only eight, and she's just like, you know, it's on.
Speaker 3: It's on all the time in my house. My son
Speaker 3: was asking me this morning, Mom, what's your favorite show?
Speaker 3: Like ultimate show you had? You know, that's the only
Speaker 3: show you could ever watch?
Speaker 2: Hello, Gilmore, Like it'd be Gilmore heads down.
Speaker 4: Well, that's nice to hear, Suzanne.
Speaker 1: You want to ask the next question?
Speaker 5: Sure, So as a super fan, let's get your take
Speaker 5: on some of the storylines. So this is we just
Speaker 5: finished recapping episode nineteen, like we were talking about. So
Speaker 5: this is the first time seeing Luke and LORELEI kind
Speaker 5: of coming back together.
Speaker 4: Like they were before.
Speaker 5: So do you think it took too long? I mean, we're,
Speaker 5: like I said, we're in episode nineteen of season seven.
Speaker 5: Do you think that process took too long?
Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
Speaker 3: I think the whole storyline didn't. We didn't need that
Speaker 3: at all, period. But yeah, in a way, I feel
Speaker 3: like it did. But in a way, I kind of like,
Speaker 3: I'm glad it came to this because it's like when
Speaker 3: they're in the Heybale Mays and they're talking and she apologizes,
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, good job, good job for finally
Speaker 3: accepting you know, hey, you did wrong. It took you
Speaker 3: a while, it took you a minute to figure that out,
Speaker 3: but you did wrong. And for him to just you know,
Speaker 3: be Luke and just you know, it's okay, and I
Speaker 3: apologize too, and it's just I honestly think that's my
Speaker 3: favorite thing is that he's able to apologize because so
Speaker 3: many men can't do that, you know, and he's just
Speaker 3: able to just you know, I had I had my
Speaker 3: pard in it too, and you know, at that moment.
Speaker 2: Gives you that hope, like, please please let them work
Speaker 2: this out.
Speaker 1: Did you think it took too long for them to
Speaker 1: get back together.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, one hundred percent. Way too long, way
Speaker 2: too long.
Speaker 4: Okayeah, when when do you think they should have come
Speaker 4: back together?
Speaker 3: I think after she had her meltdown and you know,
Speaker 3: talk Chris. You know, I wish you were the you know,
Speaker 3: the man that I could have had that life with.
Speaker 3: I feel like that next day she could have been like,
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna take a me day.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cool off, and then I'm gonna go talk
Speaker 2: to Luke.
Speaker 3: Lik, I'm not divorced yet, but this is what's going on.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I apologize. If we could start fresh even
Speaker 3: just talking and going, you know, being friends again, let's
Speaker 3: do that. Since now, I feel like she could have
Speaker 3: done that from the jump, and I feel like he
Speaker 3: fully would have gone with that and been okay with that.
Speaker 2: But do you.
Speaker 5: Feel like she had to try having a relationship with
Speaker 5: Christopher to make sure that Luke was her true love? Like,
Speaker 5: did you have to get it out of her system?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 3: And I only say that just because my husband went
Speaker 3: through that with his daughter's mom, because he had said
Speaker 3: as well, like he would have ended that when she
Speaker 3: was like four months old, because he knew it wasn't
Speaker 3: it wasn't right, it was toxic. It just shouldn't have been.
Speaker 3: But he had said, like, if I didn't at least try,
Speaker 3: then it would always bother me, Like what if I
Speaker 3: could have you know, that's my daughter's mom. What if
Speaker 3: we could have made it work? And how am I
Speaker 3: going to tell my daughter? You know, I never gave
Speaker 3: it that chance. I owed it to her to at
Speaker 3: least try. So I get that in that perspective of
Speaker 3: wanting to try to make it work.
Speaker 4: We know how you feel about season seven. It's it's
Speaker 4: an open Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 4: You find anything redeeming about season seven?
Speaker 2: The very last episode?
Speaker 1: Oh we haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I won't say. I won't say, but just
Speaker 3: the very last episode and even then I'm like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: So when you're rewatching, do you watch season seven or
Speaker 4: you skip it and go back?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: I skip through.
Speaker 3: I skip through everything except for the Paris and Doyle.
Speaker 3: I love Paris and Doyle. They just cracked me up.
Speaker 3: I skipped through the Lane storyline. I feel like they
Speaker 3: did Lane so dirty. She was just so destined for more,
Speaker 3: And I feel like they just didn't give it to her,
Speaker 3: and she should have. She was really she could have
Speaker 3: really been somebody. And I mean I'm not saying, you know,
Speaker 3: being a mother and a housewife is not somebody, because
Speaker 3: I've been there, been there, done that, I'm doing it now.
Speaker 3: But I feel like she had so much potential. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but everything with extaper, I skip it. Logan not a fan,
Speaker 3: I'm team just one hundred percent. I skip logan most
Speaker 3: of the time.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Uh, did you think that Laura la I at least
Speaker 4: had to try with Christopher to make sure Luke was
Speaker 4: her true love? I think there's any value in that.
Speaker 3: I don't think she necessarily needed to. If she wanted to,
Speaker 3: she should have done that in season one when he
Speaker 3: was trying to spend the night on the couch and
Speaker 3: trying to you know, oh I love you. She should
Speaker 3: have done that way back when, not after she's already
Speaker 3: been with Luke. No, it's like, you have Luke, You've
Speaker 3: got the Champagne. Why are you going to go back
Speaker 3: to beer? Stay with Champagne, don't come back.
Speaker 4: Okay, So here's a here's a rather obvious question that
Speaker 4: never gets asked. Okay, but I'm gonna ask you all right, Okay,
Speaker 4: aren't you ready?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: What does Gilmore Girls mean to you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: It means everything my Like I'm even gonna cry, like
Speaker 3: it's my whole childhood. It's I resonate with it so much, wow,
Speaker 3: so much because I had I have I shouldn't say had,
Speaker 3: because my mom's still here. But I have a mother
Speaker 3: that does not understand me. I love her to death,
Speaker 3: I would die for her. I'd do anything in this
Speaker 3: world for her. But to say that she knows that
Speaker 3: or believes that from me, I don't think. So. We're
Speaker 3: very different in the sense of I felt I needed
Speaker 3: to live for me and to be happy for me,
Speaker 3: even if that meant not going with what she wanted,
Speaker 3: even if that meant walking away from her and distancing
Speaker 3: myself from her, to have that life I knew I wanted.
Speaker 3: And then now I have my three beautiful children, and
Speaker 3: it's like I couldn't be more thankful for that. And
Speaker 3: to have someone that's like Luke, that's so supportive that
Speaker 3: you know, and that's the whole purpose reason he and
Speaker 3: my mom don't get along because my mom is very
Speaker 3: verbally abusive and he does not tolerate. He's like, you know,
Speaker 3: I understand she's your daughter, but that's my wife. You know,
Speaker 3: we're not I'm not gonna have her, you know, talk
Speaker 3: to you if this is going to be the kind
Speaker 3: of conversation it's going to be, you know. And and
Speaker 3: my daughter's only eight, but I feel like she and
Speaker 3: I have that closeness, not the not so much in
Speaker 3: the teenage sense like Laura Lai is, because Lauraai to
Speaker 3: me is very much teenager. But we know we do
Speaker 3: have a great bond, and it's a lot better than
Speaker 3: the bond I have with my own mom. But yes,
Speaker 3: Gilmore means everything to me.
Speaker 4: Okay, we're gonna play a game now called rapid Fire.
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Amy?
Speaker 2: I am ready.
Speaker 1: How do you like your coffee?
Speaker 3: Medium roasted? I guess you can say, with a lot
Speaker 3: of creamer, because I don't want to taste the coffee.
Speaker 3: It's like a sprinkle of coffee with all my sugar.
Speaker 1: Do you order my coffee?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I haven't yet I have it, but I plan on it.
Speaker 2: But I will. Are I promise you? I will? I will.
Speaker 4: You will not need creamer with it?
Speaker 3: Okay, then yes, I definitely will. I promise. You just
Speaker 3: got to tell me what to order.
Speaker 4: Uh, well, on medium roast. I mean you can get
Speaker 4: the breakfast blend or or the house blend. It's beautiful stuff.
Speaker 2: I will I promised, I will.
Speaker 4: High grade coffee. I won't ask you this which team
Speaker 4: you are? We already know your team.
Speaker 2: Jess, Yes, Team Jess and Team Luke.
Speaker 4: Well, then I won't ask you the next question either,
Speaker 4: because we already know that your favorite couple is Luke
Speaker 4: and Laurel. Yeah. Okay, so we'll go to this one.

Speaker 4: Let's go together. Let's all get over there. Come on,
Speaker 4: I hear it's open or opening. Who would you rather
Speaker 4: hang out with Paris or Lane?
Speaker 2: Oh? Paris for sure, Paris, because she's just so Paris.
Speaker 3: She's just one hundred percent on all the time. Can
Speaker 3: you imagine hanging with Paris and then going to work
Speaker 3: with Kirk at the end, of the day.
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, never be bored.
Speaker 4: I actually can't imagine that if I have.
Speaker 2: The strength for that.
Speaker 4: But I get your meaning. Harvard or Yale or drop
Speaker 4: out and live in a poolhouse.
Speaker 3: Oh no, probably probably Harvard. I don't think Yale. I
Speaker 3: don't like the Yale colors. I like the Harvard colors.
Speaker 2: Like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay?
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Would you rather attend a dar event with Emily or
Speaker 4: a town meeting with Taylor?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, a town meeting. I'd pull a Lorela. I'd be
Speaker 3: cracking jokes the whole time. Definitely a town meeting.
Speaker 4: Gilmore girl's character that you would want as a roommate.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a tricky one. Maybe Brian, Brian seems clean roommate.
Speaker 3: Yeahs, Brian, Lane's roommate Lane and Zach's roommate Brian.
Speaker 4: Of all the Gilmore characters you'd want to.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm thinking cleanliness wise, probably him, But roommate, I
Speaker 3: think roommate.
Speaker 2: I'd probably go lor Lie just because she's crazy.
