Speaker 1: I am all in again.
Speaker 2: You Hi, am all in again with Scott Patterson and
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: We want to go into the audience now because we
Speaker 1: want to hear your questions. Okay, the Intrepid crew is
Speaker 1: coming to you with microphones. Amy, Danielle uh so, if
Speaker 1: you have any questions. I think is Tara out there
Speaker 1: and just Daniell and Amy. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: have any questions.
Speaker 3: Where are you from.
Speaker 4: I'm Macklin from San Diego. Oh. Hi, I'm Macklin from
Speaker 4: San Diego. This is my wife, Amanda.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 4: Hi. Some of the funniest scenes in the whole series
Speaker 4: and are those with Luke and Richard when they get
Speaker 4: to inner. Those are my personal favorites, at least I
Speaker 4: still quote I'm gonna go home and look up Dick
Speaker 4: on the Internet to my wife all the time. My
Speaker 4: question is do you have a favorite memory of working
Speaker 4: with Ed Herman. I also loved you as Detective Strawm
Speaker 4: and saw four and five shack.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. You know, I don't really get
Speaker 1: nervous going to work, but on the day that I
Speaker 1: was going to work with Ed Herman for the first
Speaker 1: time at the golf course, I was terrified because you're
Speaker 1: working with, you know, a mountain you know of talent
Speaker 1: and a guy that has done so much great work
Speaker 1: in this business over the decades, and you just like,
Speaker 1: you really want to come through and and not foul
Speaker 1: up the scene and really serve the writing and all that.
Speaker 1: So I was a little bit nervous. But he was wonderful.
Speaker 1: He was wonderful to work with. He was very patient.
Speaker 1: If he had a suggestion, he had a very subtle way,
Speaker 1: in a very humorous way of suggesting something without sounding
Speaker 1: like he was being pushy or even offering an idea,
Speaker 1: but he would just sort of drop it in.
Speaker 6: Just a wonderful guy.
Speaker 1: I was over everybody. You know, after this, you should
Speaker 1: go over to the Dragonfly and set because they do
Speaker 1: have the dining room set from Emily and Richard's house.
Speaker 1: And I was over there yesterday because we were practicing
Speaker 1: this for twelve, thirteen, fifteen hours. It's amazing how much
Speaker 1: practice we put in. And I went into that room
Speaker 1: and I touched Ed's chair, and you know, it's a
Speaker 1: very emotional experience because he was a real kind of
Speaker 1: quiet leader on this set, you know, and everybody had
Speaker 1: so much respect and such reverence for him, and when
Speaker 1: he passed it hit everybody very hard. And I'm really
Speaker 1: really appreciative to Amy and Dan for what they did
Speaker 1: in the Netflix episodes and how they honored him and
Speaker 1: how they continue to honor him through each episode. So,
Speaker 1: just a beautiful guy and a beautiful actor.
Speaker 5: Okay, we have another one of you here.
Speaker 7: I'm Kimberly from Kansas City.
Speaker 3: My favorite scene is when you punch Christopher's lights out
Speaker 3: in the town square. Can you walk us through that?
Speaker 3: How it felt?
Speaker 4: Everything?
Speaker 1: I felt really good.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where you know, you you
Speaker 1: just pull, you have to pull your punch, you know,
Speaker 1: and and the camera angle is such that it's really
Speaker 1: like if this, if if this is David Sutcliffe, Michael,
Speaker 1: you're David Suthcliffe. It's not this, it's this. You missed
Speaker 1: by that much. But with the camera angle, it makes
Speaker 1: it look like you're really hitting him. So he was
Speaker 1: in no no danger whatsoever. But it was just Those
Speaker 1: are my favorite scenes to play because there there's it's
Speaker 1: just action, and you don't get a lot of action.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of great talking and great situations. Uh,
Speaker 1: but slamming you know, the sledgehammer to the wall with
Speaker 1: Jess and we'll hold hands and skip after you're doing.
Speaker 1: I love those scenes. And you know, the little look
Speaker 1: to when I was serving coffee the reenactors, and the
Speaker 1: little little look I gave of defeat to to laurele
Speaker 1: I and Max when they kissed. Uh, and and the
Speaker 1: one you just mentioned as well. Just a lot of
Speaker 1: fun to do, really really fun. Those are fun days,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 6: Hi, what's your name? Where are you from? And what's
Speaker 6: your question?
Speaker 3: Hi?
Speaker 5: My name is Melissa. I am from here actually, uh,
Speaker 5: the stars Hollow, yes, actually just our outside New Jersey.
Speaker 5: I would like to know what each of you, who
Speaker 5: each of you thinks the baby daddy is.
Speaker 8: Is?
Speaker 4: Would knock their answer?
Speaker 6: What a good question? What do you think?
Speaker 1: I think it's logan, me too.
Speaker 6: Same logan, logan, logan.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't have a clue.
Speaker 9: I don't condone the situation.
Speaker 8: It's logan.
Speaker 6: He knows for sure. I've got another one back here.
Speaker 6: What's your name?
Speaker 3: Where are you from?
Speaker 6: What's your question?
Speaker 10: I'm Shannon, I'm from saying I'm gonna freak out.
Speaker 11: Sorry.
Speaker 6: This show means a lot to me.
Speaker 3: So thank you guys.
Speaker 10: So much.
Speaker 3: But my question is, like I laugh out lot. I'm
Speaker 3: sure a lot of us sue, like, what was the
Speaker 3: hardest scene for you to not break character in?
Speaker 6: Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I think it had to be. For me, it had
Speaker 1: to be the when Laura I and I kissed the
Speaker 1: first time. And it had to be when Sean comes
Speaker 1: screaming down the stairs naked with two pillows.
Speaker 6: I mean it was it was.
Speaker 1: I think we had to do a couple of takes
Speaker 1: because we just both fell out laughing. He's so oh
Speaker 1: you think he's funny on TV, just try standing there
Speaker 1: and watching that and it's just it's too funny to
Speaker 1: even deal with. So, you know, we were very nervous
Speaker 1: about that first because we really wanted to get it right.
Speaker 1: We did it and then he comes run and throw
Speaker 1: and we break out and roin the take. It's a
Speaker 1: good blooper.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 6: My name is Josiah. I'm from Ron Show.
Speaker 4: My question, I guess is for all you guys, But
Speaker 4: what was your guys's favorite scene to record in the show?
Speaker 1: Favorite scene, favorite scene that you got to do?
Speaker 12: For me, I really do think it was the bachelorette party,
Speaker 12: because what you didn't see were hours hours of us
Speaker 12: just eating every snack note to man, and then Sally
Speaker 12: as Babett putting like rich crackers and cheese whizz on
Speaker 12: her head and we all passed out.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's cut.
Speaker 12: I think when that scene starts, you just see like
Speaker 12: a little glimpse, But we really did that scene in
Speaker 12: real time. It seemed like it was hours of us partying,
Speaker 12: just the girls in Lorelei's house, and that was the
Speaker 12: most fun scene. It was just it was a riot.
Speaker 12: And Liz and Sally together are so funny. And I
Speaker 12: know I've said this before, so but one of the
Speaker 12: best memories is being in the town hall meetings and
Speaker 12: playing the game between takes what's in Sally's purse?
Speaker 6: And we would always and she.
Speaker 12: Would write and she would she always would say she
Speaker 12: had little baby hands, and she always had like a
Speaker 12: rubber chicken, and she'd be like, gros, do you want
Speaker 12: to see my dog's driver's license?
Speaker 6: And she she's just so much fun to figure out.
Speaker 1: She had these like rubber hands on long sticks for
Speaker 1: air for airplanes to quiet screaming children. Yes, so she'd
Speaker 1: like go like around their seat and.
Speaker 6: Like and help them with the hands so she did.
Speaker 1: They'd quiet down, so she gets some.
Speaker 6: She's the best. What was your favorite scene?
Speaker 1: My favorite scene? I think you know, so many gods,
Speaker 1: so many choose from.
Speaker 6: Wait.
Speaker 12: I have a memory during a year in the life.
Speaker 12: I woke up, yup during a year in the life.
Speaker 12: I remember it was a scene where Berta made a
Speaker 12: dish that was like made of peanut butter and it
Speaker 12: was smushy but it had meat in it, but no
Speaker 12: one could.
Speaker 6: Figure out what it was.
Speaker 12: And you were we had to enter at the same time,
Speaker 12: and I remember Scott and I both just closed our
Speaker 12: eyes and we both fell We fell asleep.
Speaker 6: Do you remember this.
Speaker 12: We fell asleep and they were going Berta Luke. We
Speaker 12: were supposed to enter the dining room scene when Rory
Speaker 12: and Laura I are eating the mush that Burda made
Speaker 12: for dinner, and the two of us were sitting in
Speaker 12: our chairs, and we both just like you.
Speaker 6: Mean, in real life, in real life, in real life.
Speaker 12: Okay, that was fun memory. No one else thinks it's interesting,
Speaker 12: but I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I think my favorite scene was There's a lot to
Speaker 1: pick from, but the one that was the most difficult
Speaker 1: and at the same time, the most foughten was the
Speaker 1: in the episodes. In the Netflix episodes, there was the
Speaker 1: don't leave me when she comes back from California and
Speaker 1: I think she's gonna dump me and she ends up
Speaker 1: saying I think we should get married. That that long speech,
Speaker 1: because it was terrifying and great and the thing is,
Speaker 1: and here's another example of how great Lauren is. Uh,
Speaker 1: she had a line here, a word here, a word there.
Speaker 1: That's hard to do because it's like, I'm on a
Speaker 1: I'm on a roll, and I'm on a run, and
Speaker 1: I've got momentum and if you if your scene partner
Speaker 1: pauses just a split second too long, it's gonna you're
Speaker 1: gonna get over your skis and wipe out right.
Speaker 11: She was.
Speaker 1: Her timing was perfect, perfect, perfect perfect. So that's I
Speaker 1: think maybe my favorite one.
Speaker 8: My favorite one was one where I had no words.
Speaker 8: It was when I was running for ombudsman in the
Speaker 8: town and uh, Laura, I decided I shouldn't win, and
Speaker 8: so they set up a thing against me. Somebody was
Speaker 8: gonna beat me. And so I had always one before,
Speaker 8: it had never been a question. And they were sitting
Speaker 8: in the in Luke's having coffee and you know there
Speaker 8: was that plate glass window that looked into my candy store,
Speaker 8: so they looked, oh wait, there he is. And I'm
Speaker 8: sitting at the counter in the candy store and I
Speaker 8: just reached down under the counter and got out a
Speaker 8: canister of whipped cream and just sprayed it in my mouth.
Speaker 8: And because I was so sad and I needed, I
Speaker 8: need pick me up, that was one of my favorites
Speaker 8: because all I had to do was squirt my mouth
Speaker 8: full of whipped cream.
Speaker 9: The gig moment certainly with Sally, just being with her,
Speaker 9: keeping a straight face with her laugh a minute. But
Speaker 9: there was one episode you guys can tell me where
Speaker 9: we're I'm swing dancing people are and and I liked
Speaker 9: to swing dance, and so I think they, as I'll recall,
Speaker 9: they let us make up our own dance steps, and
Speaker 9: that was, Oh yeah. This was a Cast gift early on,
Speaker 9: I think in nineteen seventy seven we got these for
Speaker 9: everybody got a Cast gift every year, and I always
Speaker 9: look forward to those. I still have a cup of
Speaker 9: Gilmore Girls cup hanging on our cup wreck. It's an
Speaker 9: actual original from that. But we got to make up
Speaker 9: our own dance step and that was. We just had
Speaker 9: so much fun. She's and I'm dancing with Sally Strauther's
Speaker 9: superstar from Grant High School.
Speaker 13: I guess it's my turn, you know. Mitch wasn't really
Speaker 13: part of the laugh a Minute Gilmore girls. But the
Speaker 13: scene that I think enjoyed the most was the scene
Speaker 13: with Ed Herman. I had a sort of long scene
Speaker 13: in the in the restroom, and he was saying how
Speaker 13: wrong I was about Rory, and I was just explaining,
Speaker 13: you know, my feelings and what business was about. And
Speaker 13: it was kind of a back and forth between these
Speaker 13: two sort of like rich guys of the town and
Speaker 13: uh and both of them very clear about their stances
Speaker 13: and and and it was a fun and a challenging
Speaker 13: scene to play, but it was great because Ed was
Speaker 13: a great, great scene partner, what a wonderful actor.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, what's your name? What's your question?
Speaker 7: My name is Debbie.
Speaker 3: Where are you from?
Speaker 6: I forgot where you're from?
Speaker 7: Camerio?
Speaker 3: Oh not far.
Speaker 7: My mom's sister and I watched when it first aired,
Speaker 7: and it's on a continuous loop on Netflix.
Speaker 3: So this just question.
Speaker 7: He loved to prank the town while he wrote the
Speaker 7: screenplay to Glitter what prank would Taylor or any of
Speaker 7: the other panel like to play on Jess.
Speaker 4: What prank would you guys want to play on Jess?
Speaker 6: Come on, Scott, you got this uh.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, probably put you know, icy
Speaker 1: hot ointment for his palm hair palmade so.
Speaker 12: Mean, so mean, I would put a banana and tail
Speaker 12: pipe and then overcharge him like he's never been overcharged before.
Speaker 8: I think one of the best ones was again when
Speaker 8: I didn't have that much to do with personally, but
Speaker 8: I I broke my foot right before we started shooting
Speaker 8: one season, and so I called and said, I don't
Speaker 8: know what we're gonna do. I can't walk, and so
Speaker 8: they got me an electric wheelchair and so I had to.
Speaker 8: I rode the electric wheelchair through one episode. I had
Speaker 8: a great time doing it. I wish they'd have captured
Speaker 8: but they didn't. But to cover that, somebody had a
Speaker 8: line to me about did you ever find out who
Speaker 8: left that banana peel on your back porch? And I
Speaker 8: said no, but I'm gonna and they're gonna pay for it.
Speaker 8: And that was the end of the discussion about why
Speaker 8: I'm riding in a I thought that was a good,
Speaker 8: good one they got me that time.
Speaker 11: Hi, many of the lad and I'm from Paramount. Sorry,
Speaker 11: it's nice to meet you guys. I have a question
Speaker 11: for Scott. I just wanted to know how the wardrobe
Speaker 11: process was for Luke, Like, was it always given that
Speaker 11: he was gonna wear a backwards cap and a flannel
Speaker 11: or was it something that developed throughout the storyline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I walked in with a cap on backwards because
Speaker 1: I just thought it was right for the character. And
Speaker 1: I used to play pro ball and I used to
Speaker 1: wear it like that a lot when I was during
Speaker 1: batting practice or whatever. Yeah, so yeah, the wardrobe process
Speaker 1: was really like the flannel thing was I guess an
Speaker 1: Amy directive the look of it. Yeah, And they liked
Speaker 1: the baseball cap thing was good, so it was kind
Speaker 1: of a collaboration.
Speaker 6: Two more, what's your name?
Speaker 5: Where are you from?
Speaker 6: What's your question?
Speaker 10: My question is I have to imagine after playing a
Speaker 10: character for so long, a part of you seeps into
Speaker 10: your character, and you have to have a part of
Speaker 10: your character you love that you can see yourself in.
Speaker 6: Where do you see yourself your character?
Speaker 1: You know, there's two way to approach a character. You
Speaker 1: can either do an imitation, or you can just inject
Speaker 1: yourself into it. And I I think that's kind of
Speaker 1: a balance with Luke, because he's he's similar in ways
Speaker 1: and just similar in others. I mean, obviously I related
Speaker 1: to the material and the writing, and and I took
Speaker 1: a real chance in the audition because everything, all the
Speaker 1: writing was so light and so airy and so humorous
Speaker 1: and so funny. I thought, well, this will be a
Speaker 1: nice counterweight if I go in and be kind of
Speaker 1: a grumpy guy and and and this and and this,
Speaker 1: you know, in the directions in the writing said that
Speaker 1: he was a curmudgeon le guy or whatever, not necessarily
Speaker 1: ill tempered, but you know, it was it was kind
Speaker 1: of pretty easy to nail it because the writing was there.
Speaker 1: You know this, you get to say those lines, so
Speaker 1: it's you know, I often compare it to Shakespeare. You
Speaker 1: just sort of memorize as it. Open your mouth, let
Speaker 1: the words pour out, and it takes where you need
Speaker 1: to go.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 1: The writing was that good so well.
Speaker 8: And I think too that Amy and Dan, the more
Speaker 8: they got to know us, the more they wrote for us,
Speaker 8: for our voices in the character that they were developing,
Speaker 8: and then just our presence would add something to it,
Speaker 8: so it got easier to do, got more like us
Speaker 8: as we went.
Speaker 1: They had a very strange ability to know your life. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you hadn't talked about it.
Speaker 6: That's so weird. That happened to me all the time.
Speaker 12: They would write very.
Speaker 6: Specific things that had just happened to.
Speaker 12: Me in real life that week, like yeah, yeah, that
Speaker 12: was really creepy but great but also great. Yeah, we
Speaker 12: were paranoid like Gypsy and Berta. I'm exactly like both
Speaker 12: of them.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have the final question over here.
Speaker 3: Hi, my name's Kelly. I'm from Orange County. For Small
Speaker 3: Things for having us the question, I'm over here, Scott,
Speaker 3: right over here in the green How you doing, hey,
Speaker 3: big fan? So questions for the group for spall, I'm
Speaker 3: here with my cousin, she loves you. Second, where do
Speaker 3: you think Luke and Loralai are now?
Speaker 1: They're still here in Stars Hollow, you know, they're They're
Speaker 1: the same, they haven't changed, And I think that's the
Speaker 1: beauty of the characters. You know, they just sort of
Speaker 1: stay that way and that you know, uh yeah, so
Speaker 1: they're just you know, she's probably throwing a Christmas party
Speaker 1: at the Dragonfly in them.
Speaker 12: Well, he just gave her a new coffee machine from Walmart.
Speaker 6: We know that much.
Speaker 12: I'm like, you couldn't have gypsy at the counter.
Speaker 1: Se these are the Walmart boots and these.
Speaker 6: Are the Walmart pants. Nice commercials.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think they're I think they're the same.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Luke is so off at a little
Speaker 1: bit and he's being a little more decorative and celebratory
Speaker 1: in the diner.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, maybe a.
Speaker 12: Little No man buns still never no, All right, we
Speaker 12: have we have time for one more question.
Speaker 14: Yes, First of all, my boyfriend's in the back because
Speaker 14: he doesn't like the sun, but he loves you in Saul,
Speaker 14: and I have to tell you that he thinks that
Speaker 14: you're just fantastic.
Speaker 15: And he made sure to text me and say if
Speaker 15: you get your question, please tell him that I love him.
Speaker 15: He's in a Baha Blast shirt, so if you see him,
Speaker 15: that's him. My question is, you guys are iconic, Like
Speaker 15: nobody could play your roles the way you guys do,
Speaker 15: Like you're fantastic. You you raised me like, I love
Speaker 15: you guys, But if you could, what other character would
Speaker 15: you play?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: I love that? Wow?
Speaker 9: Whoa that's a great question. That's an easy one. Who
Speaker 9: would you have Kirk come on?
Speaker 6: Same, same, same? He had what sixty four jobs? How
Speaker 6: many jobs? Yeah?
Speaker 8: I think Taylor is perfectly happy being who he is,
Speaker 8: whether you like it or not. So I think he
Speaker 8: would just go on as he's all we'd gone on.
Speaker 12: I would want to be Emily. She's just one of
Speaker 12: my favorites. Any anything I could do with Kelly Bishop
Speaker 12: the best. And I just got her book as a gift.
Speaker 12: I cannot wait to read it. I hope you're all
Speaker 12: reading it. One of the best memories I have is
Speaker 12: reading Lauren's book while I was working with her, so
Speaker 12: I get to put it down and then ask her
Speaker 12: questions about each chapter.
Speaker 6: It was so much fun. She's amazing.
Speaker 1: I think for me it's Kirk too. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: for He had a lot of fun. You know, Phil,
Speaker 1: I'd loved him. I would have loved to have made
Speaker 1: those films by Kirk. I mean, just come on, just
Speaker 1: so great. Listen, the mind is a very powerful instrument.
Speaker 1: If you think it, it will be right. So keep
Speaker 1: thinking it, and you do, and we hear you loud
Speaker 1: and clear, and we're thinking it too. So Hey, expected.
