Speaker 2: Nipping it open was the best part, Like it was
Speaker 2: just so like. The thing that I.
Speaker 3: Liked was the keyboard. You could really x because it
Speaker 3: had a full keyboard.
Speaker 2: But it was just like flipping it open. You seem
Speaker 2: so cool.
Speaker 3: What show did they have sidekicks?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like wait and Gilmore Girl?
Speaker 2: But was sidekick before Blackberries?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah I had the razor. You know I had
Speaker 4: a razor too.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was a razor.
Speaker 4: It was a really really thin like phone that.
Speaker 5: I have one in this episode? Did you see it?
Speaker 5: It was on It was like she had it on
Speaker 5: her belt.
Speaker 3: I saw that.
Speaker 5: And then when she was at the Dragonfly, Yeah, she
Speaker 5: had a pink razor.
Speaker 3: Did a razor have a full keyboard or like?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: It was the teen nine text.
Speaker 1: Oh and as everyone can hear, my intrepid crew is
Speaker 1: here with me. French Daniel Amy Sugarman, I'm sick. Everybody
Speaker 1: was under the weather.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little sick, but I'm toughing it out.
Speaker 3: The good people listening will grown because I'm still here.
Speaker 3: But I love I just won't even get into it.
Speaker 3: I just won't. I see you, I hear you. We're
Speaker 3: all friends, just so everybody knows.
Speaker 4: We all love each other, love love.
Speaker 3: We're all like fully friends. That's the funniest part of it.
Speaker 3: Like we all get along completely. There's not like like
Speaker 3: you know how like sometimes you'd have a show and
Speaker 3: like maybe the people aren't like tight. We actually are
Speaker 3: a like.
Speaker 1: Pals what I mean, Like that's ever been made.
Speaker 2: Seriously, there's always one.
Speaker 3: Understand that like you don't just because you have to.
Speaker 3: Like I'm not best friends with everybody I work with,
Speaker 3: so I guess that makes sense. But like, man, you know,
Speaker 3: well we'll carry on all right, so we'll keep listening.
Speaker 3: Give us a chance for me.
Speaker 1: It's who's said doing the.
Speaker 3: Synopsis?
Speaker 4: I did it last week, so susany want to take
Speaker 4: it this week?
Speaker 1: Sure? That was very generous.
Speaker 3: I see, we're friends.
Speaker 1: This is what friends do.
Speaker 5: So we have season six, episode nineteen. I get a
Speaker 5: Sidekick out of You. This aired on April eighteenth, two
Speaker 5: thousand and six. Lane and Zach's wedding day approaches, but
Speaker 5: plans for their respective bachelor and bachelorette parties fall through,
Speaker 5: so both groups have an impromptu bash together. Luke is
Speaker 5: out of town and missus Kim tells Laura I she
Speaker 5: can't attend the wedding without an escort, so Laurela I
Speaker 5: asks Christopher to be her date at the wedding.
Speaker 3: Laura on stage, Rory asked, I think that's an important note.
Speaker 5: That's true? It was Rory as, Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 3: Pardon my interrupting, but sometimes it's necessary.
Speaker 5: Well, and that leads us into the rest of that
Speaker 5: which was at the wedding. Laurela I makes a fool
Speaker 5: of herself on stage as she realizes she will probably
Speaker 5: never get married.
Speaker 3: To Luke Bless her heart and so many questions. Can
Speaker 3: I ask you guys one question before we start, please,
Speaker 3: what school trip during the school year goes on for
Speaker 3: ten days? Maybe a trip to Washington.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say the Washington trip, I think.
Speaker 3: Is a week, four days, maybe five ten? Right, you
Speaker 3: can't miss that much school? People got other kids. My
Speaker 3: other question, when Loralai and Luke discussed Luke going on
Speaker 3: the trip, she literally says, we have nothing planned. Wouldn't
Speaker 3: they have known there was a big wedding coming up?
Speaker 5: That was before Laurel I went to the diner and
Speaker 5: found out that Lane was even engaged.
Speaker 3: She didn't know Lane was engaged. Okay, a good timeline.
Speaker 3: They're a good time.
Speaker 2: It was a turn around wedding.
Speaker 3: Love love That wedding is, like, what two weeks?
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's Was it because of missus Kim's mom.
Speaker 2: I think that like sped it up.
Speaker 3: No, because she invited her and she didn't think she
Speaker 3: was gonna come. Oh, it's right. Does anybody have a
Speaker 3: theory on why we're having a wedding within two weeks?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: They were broken up.
Speaker 4: Age married in like and also we we know one
Speaker 4: of them did not want to wait longer for certain things.
Speaker 3: That's a good theory, Danielle.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was, like, here's my theory. Right. It was
Speaker 1: dependent on the narrative, which is the storytelling, which was
Speaker 1: we had to get to that final scene.
Speaker 6: Agree, yes, yeah, we had to, like you know, it
Speaker 6: was first of all, it was a virtuoso writing performance
Speaker 6: and directing performance by Amy.
Speaker 1: I mean, just so chock full of so dense, so great.
Speaker 1: So every part of it was great. And then you know,
Speaker 1: they dropped the bomb at the end of the episode,
Speaker 1: and in my notes, I kept writing, where's Luke, Where's Luke?
Speaker 1: Where's Luke? And then oh, now I know why Luke
Speaker 1: isn't there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if, like, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I was wondering if, like you were busy or something.
Speaker 2: But then it was the whole point of the episode.
Speaker 1: Right, So I think that was the point of the storytelling,
Speaker 1: is like, we've got to get this major story beat
Speaker 1: in the episode nineteen so we can finish the season
Speaker 1: because the storyboarded that way, and we got to we
Speaker 1: have to drop the anvil on Luke and loreleized relationship here, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this is how we're going to do it, which
Speaker 1: I thought was an amazingly brilliant device, an amazingly brilliant distraction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's a last thing we saw common except except
Speaker 1: when they started drinking too much and I was like,
Speaker 1: uh oh, he's gonna sleep with her, uh oh, where's Luke?
Speaker 1: Uh oh?
Speaker 3: Boom, you get bummed when they call you and say
Speaker 3: you're not in this episode.
Speaker 1: No, because I still get paid and.
Speaker 3: You get a week off and off.
Speaker 1: That's the best week of your life because you just
Speaker 1: sit around going, I'm getting paid to do this.
Speaker 3: And it's a hard show. I think if you were
Speaker 3: like on a show where you didn't work as much,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe you had a scene here and there,
Speaker 3: then you might be bummed.
Speaker 1: No, not bummed, You're week off, that's okay.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: And they made a great episode. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: fantastic to watch. I don't know that I've laughed that
Speaker 1: loud so frequently throughout an episode. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: just it was It was a If I were Emily
Speaker 1: Carorota's agents, I would have submitted that episode for Emmy's
Speaker 1: because it's the best we've ever seen. Yeah, fifty it
Speaker 1: was like a highlight reel. Oh, it was a highlight
Speaker 1: real for her.
Speaker 4: It was just she, but also for like her character too,
Speaker 4: write like it just makes you have a completely different
Speaker 4: look on missus Kim, and you love her so much
Speaker 4: for it.
Speaker 3: I just yeah, and we learned her mom it was
Speaker 3: her then.
Speaker 4: You know, I mean Lane and that Lane is missus Kim,
Speaker 4: you know, like they're all just kind of the same,
Speaker 4: the same, same, but different.
Speaker 2: And I like how it took this many seasons to
Speaker 2: figure that out though, Like it's kind of like it's
Speaker 2: nice that we didn't find out right away. It's like, oh,
Speaker 2: like all this we know, six seasons, it makes sense now.
Speaker 3: Multiple scenes, I think at least three where I didn't
Speaker 3: understand one word of what they were saying, and yet
Speaker 3: I understood every single thing happening.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, there's fifty eight seats and sixty two Koreans.
Speaker 1: I had to rewind it a couple of times. She
Speaker 1: was Then Miss Patty said it clearly, and I go, oh,
Speaker 1: that's the joke.
Speaker 2: And it was still funny, you know, it's everyone's sprinting.
Speaker 1: All good funny anyway. So let's uh, let's go to
Speaker 1: the opening. Uh, I thought, pretty great opening.
Speaker 3: Is this when in the antique store we are when
Speaker 3: it says clothes for wedding mm.
Speaker 1: Hmm, everybody's cooking in the in the kitchen and comes down,
Speaker 1: get the heck out. Every when you come down, everybody
Speaker 1: stops cooking. Get the So so it's missus Kim back
Speaker 1: in her element. How did everybody like the opening.
Speaker 5: It was good mhm.
Speaker 2: With the wedding dress.
Speaker 4: Yeahs of the wedding dress.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we get the we get to we find
Speaker 3: out that missus Kim does not want her coming unescorted.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think that she says tramp for sale. Find a
Speaker 3: man is actually I know Kirk does not count.
Speaker 2: Is actually a thing in Korean culture.
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty true to life. I can't be
Speaker 1: one hundred percent certain, but I don't think Amy would.
Speaker 1: I can't believe about to say this. I can't believe
Speaker 1: Amy would make it up.
Speaker 3: But I think miss at tracks with missus Kim too,
Speaker 3: so if nothing else, it's like how she she always
Speaker 3: sort of has undertones to Laura. I of Laura Lai
Speaker 3: being a bit of a can you say the word
Speaker 3: fluozy hussy? Danielle had to call me the name she's
Speaker 3: always hussy a bad word.
Speaker 4: I think I did a true story.
Speaker 3: Do we need to bleep hussy and I go no?
Speaker 3: I think you can just let us What do you
Speaker 3: think is worse fluozy or hussy Hussy? Probably? But do
Speaker 3: you think fluozy is worse?
Speaker 1: I think fluozy because it it kind of indicates that
Speaker 1: they're a drunken yeah fluzy.
Speaker 3: Right, so he's just like a sort of a sexy lady.
Speaker 1: I don't think any either one or good but no worse.
Speaker 4: Here we are saying.
Speaker 3: Is we're not saying she is a floozy or a hussy,
Speaker 3: but missus Kim thinks she is.
Speaker 1: But the funny thing is is Laura Lauren Graham just
Speaker 1: stands there and doesn't react to it, just like she
Speaker 1: expects it, and it's and it's so funny because she's
Speaker 1: just unloading on her and her comeback line is, well,
Speaker 1: we should agree on a price.
Speaker 3: And missus Kim gets away with murder like she says
Speaker 3: the most mean, inappropriate things and everyone just takes it.
Speaker 1: They're like, then you can't talk back to her, so
Speaker 1: you might as well do great jokes Laura, like Gilmore
Speaker 1: disappointing mothers since nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's fun.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that was a great opening. Okay.
Speaker 1: So now we're at the Yale Daily News and Rory
Speaker 1: is Captain Kirking the Starship and doing one heck of
Speaker 1: a job managing Paris. Who has who has written both
Speaker 1: sides of an editorial?
Speaker 3: Her point counterpoint?
Speaker 1: Who at the time that that was a very famous
Speaker 1: show with Jane Alexander and who was the guy what
Speaker 1: was his name?
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know, Point Counterpoint?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Was it on PBS.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was. It was a very
Speaker 1: popular show on Saturday Night Live used to do a
Speaker 1: takeoff on dan Ackwright and Jane Curtin and Dan Ackwright
Speaker 1: would always, you know, mimic the guy they hit the
Speaker 1: sand of the show. But he said, Jane, you ignorant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, not hussy.
Speaker 1: Right, not hussy.
Speaker 3: I don't it's too smart for me to watch a
Speaker 3: show like that, but I got the gist.
Speaker 1: Paris Point Counterpoint.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I knew like Paris is like nuts
Speaker 3: but yet sort of likable, Like I sort of was
Speaker 3: like rockbos. Look, I was sort of like, Okay, she
Speaker 3: probably does a good jump.
Speaker 1: She's a she's a full court press that one.
Speaker 3: And Rory is crushing running the paper.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's in total control. I mean, you're telling
Speaker 1: her you'll have to make a decision. You've got two
Speaker 1: minutes to make a decision. You pick a sign. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then the references to All the President's Men. One
Speaker 1: of the great movies of that era, with Dustin Hofford
Speaker 1: and Walter, I'm Walter Brath now Robert Robert Redford?
Speaker 3: How dare you?
Speaker 1: Oh? My god, j Robards as Ben Bradley, and I said, Walter.
Speaker 3: You're fine, I understand, but the how dare you mess
Speaker 3: up my Robert Redford? In my life?
Speaker 1: I think about Robert Redford too, don't.
Speaker 3: And he's like ninety and I'm still like pretty good,
Speaker 3: like cool dude back in the day. No one cares,
Speaker 3: but I'll tell you anyway, my dad and mom. My
Speaker 3: dad used to say like something like, oh, your mom
Speaker 3: and I are great unless Robert Redford comes to the
Speaker 3: front door. And I was always like, what is he
Speaker 3: talking about? Like I was a little kid, never understood it.
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, I was like.
Speaker 1: Ah, we used to have that too. My mom used
Speaker 1: to say that about Frank Sinatra. And then they were
Speaker 1: at a party in New York and they came back
Speaker 1: and they said, Steve McQueen tried to hit on your mom.
Speaker 3: Wait, is that true?
Speaker 1: True story?
Speaker 3: That's pretty legit.
Speaker 1: And she turned him down for.
Speaker 3: Your dad, that's pretty legit. Steve McQueen was hot, yeah.
Speaker 1: But she didn't like him. I like him, She was married.
Speaker 1: She didn't like him. We digress thought he was a
Speaker 1: lightweight compared to my dad. Really, yes, true.
Speaker 3: Wait, and the girls come in in that scene and
Speaker 3: try and convince Rory to go to Costa Rica. Right,
Speaker 3: it's you know, I can't help it. But it's Wednesday's therapist.
Speaker 3: You know, we interviewed her, that's what you know Wednesday
Speaker 3: on the show. Huh. And then the friend and they
Speaker 3: kind of bebop in and they're gonna they want Rory
Speaker 3: to go to Costa Rica, and she's like, I have
Speaker 3: a wedding right right, right right.
Speaker 1: And then we're at the Dragonfly with one of the great,
Speaker 1: the best Michelle Gerard performances. I mean, this is this
Speaker 1: is a great thing about this episode. All these you know,
Speaker 1: these characters we only get to see in in short
Speaker 1: stretches get to sort of take the stage here and
Speaker 1: do their thing.
Speaker 3: The dancing and Michelle.
Speaker 1: Dancing and that I mean, then the canceling with the
Speaker 1: well that's later on, but this.
Speaker 3: One dancing in the.
Speaker 1: Background dancing is just iconic.
Speaker 3: When obviously the cookies were you know whatddies.
Speaker 5: Okay, I had a flag on the cookies because Suki
Speaker 5: is a chef, and she says she made some comment about, oh,
Speaker 5: I must have used too much yeast.
Speaker 3: You don't put yeaston cookies cookies?
Speaker 5: Well, okay, maybe that's where you would use yeast.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't You're right, why would she
Speaker 3: Maybe it was sourdough bread.
Speaker 5: I don't even bake, and I know.
Speaker 3: That I don't either. Maybe she was Did she say
Speaker 3: they were cookies? Yeah, yes, she said they could make.
Speaker 4: I'm looking Easton cookies.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a secret rest East cookies.
Speaker 4: If you could, if you could.
Speaker 5: That would make them like bready. I think I'm not
Speaker 5: a baker, but I my son.
Speaker 4: Okay, you probably think of bread when you hear yeast,
Speaker 4: but it is actually a great substitute for baking powder.
Speaker 4: All right, So.
Speaker 5: I guess I'm gonna have to.
Speaker 4: It just makes the cookies a little more cakey. So
Speaker 4: but yeah, you could.
Speaker 3: And then Michelle just continuing to dance, and Chris is
Speaker 3: on the phone. Right, this is where Chris calls.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, he put a sidekick, and Michelle, I did
Speaker 2: think it was weird that he Rory's in college, Like,
Speaker 2: why would he need to like put it past Laura?
Speaker 4: I yeah, called that out, and Laura like called that
Speaker 4: out herself too.
Speaker 2: I feel like it was an excuse for him to
Speaker 2: call her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I also don't sure, but I also like don't
Speaker 4: think he knows what he's doing, you know, like this
Speaker 4: is all really new to him, so he's probably just like, well,
Speaker 4: let me run it by the person that raised her,
Speaker 4: you know, Like I think he's just doing it to
Speaker 4: he's new to this, and.
Speaker 3: Then he's improved thing. G's doing better.
Speaker 4: She's not crying, he's saying no. Yeah.
Speaker 3: A great scene though, with Michelle being the star.
Speaker 1: I think Michelle wins the scene for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, possibly the episode, but.
Speaker 1: Definitely miss that missus. Kim is going to be tough
Speaker 1: to be good. He laid down a solid performance.
Speaker 3: Here, and you know who else was solid in this, Zach.
Speaker 1: Uh huh uh huh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, really good episode for him.
Speaker 1: Zach Rising. Yeah. See, you give these people stuff to do,
Speaker 1: they're gonna rock it. Yeah. And Sebastian rocking it.
Speaker 3: I know we're not there yet, but he looked good.
Speaker 1: Leather jacket, they tail, rocker style.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was definitely like a rocker groomsman.
Speaker 1: Geez. All right, so now we're at missus Kim's and
Speaker 1: they're bringing their there. They're they're ridding the house of
Speaker 1: any kind of Christian symbols. Is anything in bringing the
Speaker 1: Buddha in because Grandma is showing up and uh, she
Speaker 1: cannot be surrounded by Seventh day Adventists.
Speaker 3: From So that Buddha was not small.
Speaker 1: That was a big Buddha.
Speaker 3: I got a big Buddha, A real big Buddha.
Speaker 5: Was That was such a huge revelation for Lane. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like her mom has been hiding all this stuff from
Speaker 5: her mom, just like Wayne had been hiding everything.
Speaker 4: And then her mom and then missus Kim being like
Speaker 4: the floorboards put.
Speaker 7: It and that was Classicanne had lived, right, So I
Speaker 7: come from a long line of women that's hiding their
Speaker 7: real lives under the floor.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Good. And then they started bowing the one hundred and
Speaker 1: eight bows which bread the cornball one hundred and eight
Speaker 1: owls from Rory, and then they were off to the
Speaker 1: bachelorette party at Dozy Take it away? Girl? What'd you
Speaker 1: think of the bachelorette party? And here we have more
Speaker 1: more discussion of certain parts of the male anatomy, which
Speaker 1: Amy can get into.
Speaker 3: With beer, more beer and beer, which is something girls
Speaker 3: would not drink on a bachelorette party. Am I right?
Speaker 1: Probably? I wouldn't know.
Speaker 3: But did you did you notice, Daniel who you are?
Speaker 3: I don't really know girls that drink beer at all.
Speaker 2: I like beer.
Speaker 4: I like if I'm watching a football game or if
Speaker 4: I'm on a boat, I have a beer. Like there's
Speaker 4: I don't know those two very.
Speaker 1: It's the salt air. It's the salt air combined with
Speaker 1: the beer. It works.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think I'm around Real housewives way too much because it's.
Speaker 2: Just tequila or champagne.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do not drink beer, just champagne.
Speaker 4: And that's the one thing I can't do. You will
Speaker 4: never catch me with a glass of champagne.
Speaker 3: It's bloaty. What does it do? Headache? Oh?
Speaker 4: You just can't do it.
Speaker 5: Did you notice that when they were leaving missus Kim's
Speaker 5: and Lane was trying to talk to mom and she's
Speaker 5: like bobbing up and down every time she bows. She says,
Speaker 5: we're going to go over and meet everyone at Dosie's.
Speaker 5: And it was daylight. But then when they come out
Speaker 5: of Dosi's it's pitch dark.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, another.
Speaker 2: I called that too. I just didn't know like how
Speaker 2: long they were. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe the sun was setting or it took a bit
Speaker 3: to get there. They had to gather up all those girls,
Speaker 3: I'll give it to them. Maybe they walked, you know,
Speaker 3: it wasn't just five seconds later they were dosies with
Speaker 3: all the girls in tiaras, what you call those tiaras.
Speaker 4: They were worring.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to pick up that flag too.
Speaker 5: I'm not. No, I'm not picking that one up.
Speaker 1: You're going for the coaches challenging.
Speaker 5: Because she said Lane said they were going to meet
Speaker 5: at Docy, So it's not like they had to go
Speaker 5: pick other people up and then.
Speaker 3: Did all those girls had to get there? I know,
Speaker 3: but they met there.
Speaker 5: So when Lane and Rory were leaving, they were presumably
Speaker 5: walking straight to Dosi's, which is you know as you know,
Speaker 5: but they didn't.
Speaker 1: They spend a lot of time buying all that stuff inside.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna say it's okay on that one.
Speaker 1: I think you might have to pick up the second.
Speaker 3: Flag and oh yeah, And then they talk about American jigglow.
Speaker 3: Raise your hand if you've seen American jigglow the Richard
Speaker 3: gear because there's also the new TV show. Well, I
Speaker 3: guess we're gonna need all rent it.
Speaker 1: I've seen the movie, do you remember?
Speaker 3: Richard Gears.
Speaker 4: Scott was like, yes, I do remember, clearly, by the way.
Speaker 1: In fact, it wasn't in the that I saw Noble.
Speaker 3: Well, or you just didn't notice, because let me ask
Speaker 3: two questions. Sex and the City the movie. Everyone talks
Speaker 3: about the scene and it's like not even one second
Speaker 3: and many people remember that movie where it's based on
Speaker 3: a book and it's Ben Affleck and the wife pretends
Speaker 3: she's been murdered or kidnapped, but it's all set up
Speaker 3: a girl gone girl, and there's a mill a second
Speaker 3: shot of allegedly ben Afflex, which I definitely did freeze frame.
Speaker 3: So I think it tracks that they would go see
Speaker 3: American Jigglow for the one scene on a bachelorette party.
Speaker 3: I actually thought that sounded fun on a bachelorette party
Speaker 3: to go to a movie even though they missed it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they missed it.
Speaker 3: So like they're celebrating a small town bachelor bachelorette party
Speaker 3: at its finest. Yeah, am I right?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 5: Did you did anybody else wonder why ke on the
Speaker 5: exchange student was still there two years later.
Speaker 3: Has it been two years?
Speaker 2: I thought it was still just a year.
Speaker 5: I had to look it up and her first appearance
Speaker 5: was in season four, so she was in season four,
Speaker 5: five and six.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: I just assumed she was in town for the wedding,
Speaker 2: like I don't. I don't think she stayed, but that
Speaker 2: was just my guess.
Speaker 3: Maybe she just moved. But her Avril Levine shirt and
Speaker 3: I get under her outfit rock.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was so funny.
Speaker 3: That was a good outfit under the outfit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, smooth, a little snappy too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And.
Speaker 1: We rocked out to her in Vegas. Oh yeah, remember
Speaker 1: in the parking lot. Oh, you weren't there.
Speaker 3: And the sidekick is going, we get that she's talking
Speaker 3: to Christopher regularly and a girl barfed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but.
Speaker 1: Says it's got to be some kind of record.
Speaker 3: Done the night.
Speaker 5: Like all they did was walk across the street.
Speaker 3: Is it still the same scene when they bump into
Speaker 3: the boys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like two steps over.
Speaker 3: So then they got me the boys and I learned
Speaker 3: all the bars. Dell's the chimney sweep burn down. That's
Speaker 3: a funny whole bit.
Speaker 4: There should be like in stars hollow, like that was
Speaker 4: a missed opportunity to not have the local bar, you
Speaker 4: know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, it's a family show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no bar, although they did go to a
Speaker 3: bar back in the day.
Speaker 5: Remember Lorelei, there is a bar in season seven.
Speaker 2: At Yale there was so maybe like older years, like
Speaker 2: you know this this season, we could have been introduced
Speaker 2: to a bar. Yeah, like coming here for years.
Speaker 4: I want Rory to come home during like Christmas break
Speaker 4: run into d and Linda.
Speaker 3: Would it be the chimney sweep Erdells or do you
Speaker 3: want a different bar?
Speaker 1: Cheers would have been it would have been Dozy Danes
Speaker 1: or Dane's Dozy bar.
Speaker 4: Shoppy.
Speaker 2: It's the connection between the windows.
Speaker 3: But nothing beats a wreck room at Brian's Aunts.
Speaker 2: Was that what it was?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And then they all roll over there. I mean I
Speaker 3: was like, that is so good.
Speaker 5: And did you catch the little foreshadowing from Laureli when
Speaker 5: she said there's plenty we can do tonight that we
Speaker 5: can be mortified about tomorrow.
Speaker 1: She wasn't kidding, It wasn't joking around, all right, So
Speaker 1: now we are at well, now we get the rate.
Speaker 1: Michelle seon packing to go see Celene Dion and shocking
Speaker 1: Laurela on the phone saying he's not going And I mean,
Speaker 1: I understand what's He's seen her five times, but he
Speaker 1: was never in the front row before, but now he's
Speaker 1: in the front.
Speaker 3: Row, and I mean, I get it relates that.
Speaker 1: Let's face it, man, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: And she says fracking Celene Dion, which do you know
Speaker 3: what that is from? I'm pretty sure it's from Battlestar Galactica.
Speaker 3: They called this instead of saying the F word, I
Speaker 3: think they say fracking, like throughout.
Speaker 4: The whole show.
Speaker 3: Oh, really, cracking Celene Dion. I mean it's so timely too,
Speaker 3: because we just got to see Queen Selene come out
Speaker 3: at the Grammy.
Speaker 4: And Taylor just totally ignored her.
Speaker 3: But I don't think she did. I mean she did,
Speaker 3: she overwhelmed. I do think she could have been a
Speaker 3: little bit more gracious, like I.
Speaker 4: Would have bowed down to.
Speaker 3: It was a little weird that she just like took
Speaker 3: the thing. I'm like, that was weird.
Speaker 2: I also didn't know and so after the fact, the
Speaker 2: guy who walked her out was her son.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh so I was years old when I lean
Speaker 3: I saw I saw it on TikTok.
Speaker 2: So when I was like, oh, I don't know the
Speaker 2: guy who was holding she was holding onto a guy's arm.
Speaker 2: It was her son, and that is.
Speaker 4: Making a documentary I cannot wait to watch.
Speaker 3: I know. I also thought the coat was she rocked
Speaker 3: the coach. I was like, I liked it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, she really did look good, didn't she She does.
Speaker 3: I don't know a lot about stiff person syndrome, and
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see the documentary to learn more. And
Speaker 3: then of course it's coming up on my TikTok a
Speaker 3: little bit because I started watching all the Sleen stuff.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean that lady's a baller.
Speaker 4: M hm. She is and I and I have seen
Speaker 4: her in Vegas and it top top two shows. I
Speaker 4: don't know what number two is, but literally one of
Speaker 4: the best shows I've ever been to my life. She's amazing.
Speaker 2: I regret not seeing.
Speaker 1: My impression of Taylor Swift was that she was incredibly
Speaker 1: grateful and surprised she won, and I thought it was
Speaker 1: unfortunate that yet again she's attacked sort of you know, sideways,
Speaker 1: she can't.
Speaker 2: Win, I mean together backstage, like right after that.
Speaker 1: Came right, what happened backstage.
Speaker 3: They took a.
Speaker 2: Picture together backstage, like right after that. So I think
Speaker 2: that kind of made up.
Speaker 1: No, I'm talking about the about the jay z comment.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. That became a whole thing too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 3: Confused why the jay Z's thing was about Taylor.
Speaker 2: It wasn't, but it was about Beyonce beyond everybody because of.
Speaker 3: Conn Taylor's moment. I don't because.
Speaker 2: Being on stage.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, go ahead, No, But wasn't it because Taylor
Speaker 1: won Album of the Year.
Speaker 4: No, he was saying the year.
Speaker 1: It was a different, totally different category.
Speaker 4: But he was saying, is that hasn't one album of
Speaker 4: the year yet. It wasn't really a dig towards Taylor.
Speaker 2: One album of the year that night Taylor, Okay, So
Speaker 2: it was was before that, before she won.
Speaker 4: His whole point was his wife has had has won
Speaker 4: countless Grammys and yet has never won Album of the Year.
Speaker 4: That was his point.
Speaker 1: But what is all this calling judges out all the
Speaker 1: time or people in the academy and it's like it's
Speaker 1: a party. It's also it's kind of a silly business,
Speaker 1: and you give awards for these things and it's all
Speaker 1: very subjective anyway, totally.
Speaker 3: Somebody was let's is somebody.
Speaker 1: Just taking this too seriously? And it's like, yes, because
Speaker 1: you got invited to the party, you're making millions of dollars,
Speaker 1: you're a billionaire. It's like, dude, really.
Speaker 3: Well, there's a thing called the Podcast Awards, of which
Speaker 3: we were not nominated, and people get like very upset
Speaker 3: right about the Podcast Awards. Why wasn't I nominated? Why
Speaker 3: were they nominated? YadA YadA, And the best way to
Speaker 3: explain it is, I am a voting member for an
Speaker 3: award show that I will not name, Not the Grammys, obviously,
Speaker 3: there's an award show that exists that I vote on. No,
Speaker 3: that would be amazing, I would like. And sometimes I'm
Speaker 3: gonna admit this, I vote by who I like, So
Speaker 3: say it's about their song or the choreography in their video.
Speaker 3: Let's just say sometimes I vote for who I like,
Speaker 3: and I'm not always fully fully basing it on choreography
Speaker 3: in the video. Like sometimes I'm just like Harry Styles,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like I think that happens
Speaker 3: on all these things.
Speaker 2: Does that make sense when you put it that way?
Speaker 2: That makes sense?
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'm just.
Speaker 1: Like it's totally subjective, totally, and I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: I guess, mostly merit based. So it is you could
Speaker 1: say argue that it's somewhat of a meritocracy because you know,
Speaker 1: you look at album sales and you look at concert
Speaker 1: ticket sales and all that, and obviously this is a
Speaker 1: big star, but you don't get album of the year
Speaker 1: and and I don't know, I just I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't get it because that's not a way to
Speaker 1: get Album of the year next year. That's like you
Speaker 1: just killed your chances. Like is Kanye ever going to
Speaker 1: get album of the Year ever in his life after
Speaker 1: pulling a stunt like that.
Speaker 2: Well it was a different stage and right.
Speaker 1: And I think the guy's a genius.
Speaker 3: To bring it back to Christopher going to the wedding,
Speaker 3: I did actually think I do think it was sort
Speaker 3: of cute when she said, do you want me to
Speaker 3: see if dad can go? Like it was so harmless
Speaker 3: that it was like okay, yeah, okay, so let's get
Speaker 3: into it. What did you guys think of that? I
Speaker 3: have a feeling that a couple of you are not
Speaker 3: going to like it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I understood when Rory said it. It was
Speaker 2: like for her, it's her dad. But I kind of like,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, here we go again, Like yeah,
Speaker 2: when you think about like big picture, you know, I understand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I understood what she.
Speaker 2: Was trying to do, but I knew that it wasn't
Speaker 2: going to end well.
Speaker 1: Rory was just doing her job as a storyteller.
Speaker 3: Man is being suspiciously silent.
Speaker 5: I just you know, I as soon as Christopher came
Speaker 5: into the picture, you just know something bad is going
Speaker 5: to happen, because every time he comes sniffing around, something
Speaker 5: hits the fan. And so you know, when Murray made
Speaker 5: that suggestion, I was like, you know, you really are
Speaker 5: not smart. But at the same time, like I wanted
Speaker 5: Laura to go to Elaine's wedding, and apparently it was
Speaker 5: the only way that could happen because she'd been forbidden Taylor.
Speaker 3: By the way, I don't know why they didn't just
Speaker 3: ask Taylor, yeah that would he was in the Why not?
Speaker 1: Well, that wouldn't have That wouldn't have created any real
Speaker 1: dramatic tension. And that's another question I have, And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna jump up here and say, did did
Speaker 1: this episode need drama. Did it need that?
Speaker 4: It did? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do you think this episode could have existed without just
Speaker 1: the comedy?
Speaker 2: Just just yes, but not this far into the season,
Speaker 2: Like if this was earlier in the season. Yes, But
Speaker 2: I feel like we're inching towards the finale.
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta move the plot along, pus.
Speaker 3: I give me some drama on all of them. Like,
Speaker 3: I don't need just to go lucky Gilmore, give me,
Speaker 3: give me the juice.
Speaker 1: Like having a really good time with this episode and
Speaker 1: then things start to get I get that, But.
Speaker 3: There's no such thing as just a really good time really.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's my whole theory of I love
Speaker 3: to hate it, you know, like I get frustrated or bummed,
Speaker 3: but then I'm like, I love to hate it. I
Speaker 3: love to love Christopher unlike the rest of Gilmore world.
Speaker 3: There's something about him. I luck.
Speaker 4: You know, I do have to agree with you, Like,
Speaker 4: for all his flaws, there is something about him that
Speaker 4: I just kind of empathize a little with.
Speaker 3: I just I just yeah, I just even though he's
Speaker 3: kind of a hot mess, I do think he loves Lorlai.
Speaker 3: From the day they met till the day they die,
Speaker 3: he will always love her.
Speaker 2: Do you think you have like, do you think you
Speaker 2: feel for him now that he has a kid like
Speaker 2: this far into the show, or did you always that way?
Speaker 3: I've always liked him.
Speaker 4: I've always liked seen him in the Wreck. I like
Speaker 4: seeing him in the episodes like I do. Whether he's
Speaker 4: he I disagree with him or whether I love him,
Speaker 4: you know whatever. I just always do like seeing him
Speaker 4: with in scenes with Lorelei and Rory, I just enjoyed them.
Speaker 3: And David Zecla plays him likable, like you can argue
Speaker 3: it a million ways if he's not likable, but like
Speaker 3: there is something likable about him. There just is. Nope,
Speaker 3: I mean I think there is.
Speaker 5: He just comes off as smarmy to me.
Speaker 3: I just never.
Speaker 4: Do you like him as a character though, because like
Speaker 4: I do, I like him as a character, even if
Speaker 4: he swore me or you know, a loser like I do,
Speaker 4: feel like.
Speaker 5: He never If he was a high schooler, then yeah,
Speaker 5: he would be fine. But he's a grown up. He's
Speaker 5: like he's I don't know. It's kind of hard because
Speaker 5: to some extent, both of them, their development was was
Speaker 5: stunted when they had a kid. So both of them
Speaker 5: are kind of sixteen year olds inside.
Speaker 8: Yeah true, But Laura I really matured and still moved
Speaker 8: on with her life, whereas Christal, she's still a sixteen
Speaker 8: year old even.
Speaker 3: I mean more than he more than he did, more
Speaker 3: than he did.
Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah right, I you know, he's the kind of character,
Speaker 1: that person whatever. My mother would have shaken him by
Speaker 1: the shoulders, smacked him and say get your act together.
Speaker 3: I think he's exactly what he would be, right Like
Speaker 3: Amy and Dan created a character. To me, that's exactly
Speaker 3: what that character would be. The popular guy in school
Speaker 3: who comes with the rich parents who are kind of
Speaker 3: not right to him. He gets the high school sweetheart pregnant,
Speaker 3: she says, I'm not marrying you. He does the quote
Speaker 3: right thing. He's just exactly what that character would be.
Speaker 3: And Roy has to have a dad, So I don't
Speaker 3: like it.
Speaker 1: Roy doesn't respect him, but she doesn't respect him.
Speaker 2: I think a little bit more now she does not
Speaker 2: respect him.
Speaker 3: No, she just likes him, fine, she doesn't. She doesn't
Speaker 3: dislike him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she.
Speaker 3: She doesn't look to him like a father figure, but
Speaker 3: she likes him fine because he's quite likable. He likes
Speaker 3: that logan, but what he'd going, Scott all right, racking,
Speaker 3: Christopher racking.
Speaker 1: You know, we missed some really nice there were some
Speaker 1: great lines going on in that Michelle Singe Celine dance.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, where'd this Marian Jennat Jamison come from?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, wait, that's right. She says that that's funny
Speaker 3: because she says that, like when he veils her.
Speaker 1: That was in Missus Kim's home when they when they
Speaker 1: first come into Missus Kim's for the wedding, for the
Speaker 1: Korean part of the wedding, right, yeah.
Speaker 3: Because she's with Christopher and she didn't, Yeah, she says,
Speaker 3: she didn't.
Speaker 1: They think I'm like, like, I'm practically Jenna Jameson.
Speaker 2: Dressed like her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, because it goes back to the whole thing
Speaker 5: that because if she had shown up without a man,
Speaker 5: people would think she was you know, quote unquote loose,
Speaker 5: and so she was just exaggerating that point.
Speaker 3: It's so good. And then and.
Speaker 1: Then the grandmother letting use and they first.
Speaker 3: We have the whole wedding, right, the Buddhist wedding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have the whole thing. Yeah, And Zach coming
Speaker 1: in in that blue dress was hysterical.
Speaker 3: The costumes were just amazing.
Speaker 1: They really were. I mean, they really nailed it.
Speaker 3: I think as a first time viewer, Danielle, you think
Speaker 3: that's the wedding.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're completely more like, this.
Speaker 3: Is the wedding. They're standing, it's a wedding. There's a
Speaker 3: whole to do, and you're like, okay, and.
Speaker 4: Then the party starts.
Speaker 3: Well, the first we have to have the church wedding
Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah, there's really three weddings in this episode.
Speaker 3: This wedding could have this show could have been called
Speaker 3: three weddings and a drunken, drunken speaking speech.
Speaker 1: And air, and I.
Speaker 4: Do want to talk about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no affair continued. So we've got the Buddhist
Speaker 3: wedding and then what the real wedding?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: I like that Miss Patty had been camped out there
Speaker 2: all morning. She was like knitting or whatever she was
Speaker 2: doing all day.
Speaker 5: If on the going back for just a second of
Speaker 5: the Korean wedding. I loved that Grandma flew in went
Speaker 5: to the wedding and then got in the taxi and
Speaker 5: drove off. Yeah, flew in from and then left again.
Speaker 4: Literally like get in the car and you're gone.
Speaker 1: What was the thing that upset the grandmother so much
Speaker 1: that she took missus Kim into the living room and
Speaker 1: started screaming at her.
Speaker 3: That's a great question because.
Speaker 1: She, you know, the grandma was upset right right from
Speaker 1: the get go of that ceremony. Such a good question,
Speaker 1: so I figure it, Oh, something must be wrong. That's
Speaker 1: the wrong, the priest or the.
Speaker 3: The Buddhist guy, the Buddhist guy.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Does anybody speak Korean? But what about some internet sleuth Jackie?
Speaker 3: While we keep talking, can you what.
Speaker 1: Was the issue there that forced her out? Did we
Speaker 1: did we miss that?
Speaker 3: I mean no, we we think we wouldn't know because
Speaker 3: we don't speak Korean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they never said. I think the point was just
Speaker 5: to like, because Laurla even makes some comment to Christopher
Speaker 5: something about how families are all the same or something
Speaker 5: like that, Like they're just trying to maybe make the
Speaker 5: point that whatever language it is, you're speaking, like mothers
Speaker 5: and daughters have commed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got that too, right, But maybe
Speaker 1: this was a modern version of a traditional wedding. And
Speaker 1: the grandma objected and this is not what we agreed
Speaker 1: to and how dare you? And she left. She was offended.
Speaker 1: I who knows?
Speaker 3: When do we have the awkwardest? Is that a word? Awkwardest?
Speaker 3: The most awkward conversation of all time between missus Kim.
Speaker 1: But it was the funniest. It was the best speech.
Speaker 1: It was the best speech that Missus Kim ever had.
Speaker 1: They gave her gold that it's a job, it's a
Speaker 1: terrible things you must do.
Speaker 3: Maybe like me.
Speaker 2: Thank god, I only did it once.
Speaker 1: Luckily, if you're like me, you only have to do
Speaker 1: it once. I can you ask for better dialogue than that?
Speaker 1: You cannot? And Emily Corona must have been drooling when
Speaker 1: she read this. I mean, just yay, funny. I fell
Speaker 1: off the couch. That was just fantastic. I keep underlining
Speaker 1: where's Luke?
Speaker 3: He's on the trip in Philadelphia?
Speaker 1: The longest trip ever, the ten days trip?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, also Philip, who is not that far from there?
Speaker 1: For what I mean, it's probably five hours okay.
Speaker 4: I looked up a Reddit thread on what they're saying
Speaker 4: in Korean. So there's three different scenarios. So the first
Speaker 4: one is basically Lane saying I'm happy you came. Her
Speaker 4: grandmother says, it's great to be here. Why did you
Speaker 4: put the statue in that room indoors. Oh, and she goes,
Speaker 4: it's so dirty and stuffocating in here. Open the doors.
Speaker 4: Missus Kim says, you're right, I should tidy up grand
Speaker 4: The grandmother says, why didn't you come to the airport.
Speaker 4: Missus Skim says, you told me not to. Oh, And
Speaker 4: then grandmother says, we must about one hundred any times.
Speaker 4: And then during the ceremony, the grandmother says the statue
Speaker 4: is broken, and missus Skims like, mother, the ceremony has started,
Speaker 4: and the grandmother says, how can it start when the
Speaker 4: statue is broken. Missus skim, the statue is fine, Grandmother,
Speaker 4: come here. How dare you talk to me like that?
Speaker 4: Missus Skims says, all I did was answer, and the
Speaker 4: grandmother says, no, you humiliated me.
Speaker 2: I guess Oh, wow, juicy.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is going to read it, so I you know.
Speaker 3: And if you can't trust read it, who can you trust?
Speaker 1: That's pretty deep, pretty good intel, pretty specific way to go.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: All right, So she goes, and then everybody runs into
Speaker 1: the church, which is hysterically funny scene. And now we're
Speaker 1: in the church and they do the wedding and then
Speaker 1: the real party starts. Is when the when the wedding
Speaker 1: is over.
Speaker 3: Is this where we get the little story though, where
Speaker 3: Lane tells I'm sorry. Laura Lai tells Christopher about Rory
Speaker 3: and Lorli meeting Lane for the first time, and we
Speaker 3: learn in kindergarten that she said come play with me
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Rory was wearing it.
Speaker 3: She go in the mansion, so legit, I kind of
Speaker 3: want that. So good.
Speaker 1: That was a cute story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he kind of says, wonder who will
Speaker 3: be next? Obviously no, he says.
Speaker 1: Rory, Ry's next. Maybe Rory's next. Yeah, Rory could be
Speaker 1: next to space. Yeah, all right, So now the wedding's
Speaker 1: over and everybody's looking for the bar. Laurlai wants the bar,
Speaker 1: Christopher wants the bar. Where's the bar? And the money
Speaker 1: bag Let's not forget the money bag collecting the money
Speaker 1: and Lester Shin probably stiffed you.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, And did you guys notice Kirk. Okay,
Speaker 3: first of all, I have two questions. Kirk came out
Speaker 3: of the church with a cooler and the green thing
Speaker 3: is sleeping. Oh, because he's carrying oh god, of course
Speaker 3: he's carrying the beds sleeping bag and her cooler because
Speaker 3: she was there all night.
Speaker 5: Miss Patty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh sorry, miss Patty. Sorry?
Speaker 1: Does everybody have their eye am all in mug? Does
Speaker 1: every you guys? Do you guys have this?
Speaker 3: I don't have that.
Speaker 1: People stop me on the street. Where do I get one?
Speaker 3: O the mug around on the street?
Speaker 1: Now they see me using it on the podcast kill Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can get it, Daniel.
Speaker 3: Do we have a lot of those left?
Speaker 4: We have a few, limited quantity.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you my coffee tastes ten times better in
Speaker 1: this month. I don't know why that is.
Speaker 3: Wait, okay, so thank you Suzanne. Of course, because miss
Speaker 3: Patty spent the night. I couldn't figure out what that
Speaker 3: green thing was. Okay, excellent, excellent?
Speaker 1: Uh Roy could be next wedding. So now they're partying.
Speaker 1: Everybody's partying now.
Speaker 5: And did you see at the beginning of the party
Speaker 5: they had that shot that was like the cover of
Speaker 5: the White Stripes album, but it was Lane and Zach
Speaker 5: instead of the White Stripe.
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't get that, but that's cool. I thought
Speaker 3: the wedding looked the actual third wedding looked amazingly fun. Well,
Speaker 3: that's the one I would want to go to.
Speaker 2: Honestly, the whole day seems.
Speaker 4: To all three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is where Gil looks good. And I think
Speaker 3: it's funny when he's like, I'm glad somebody else is
Speaker 3: married now.
Speaker 1: Trials and tribulations.
Speaker 4: And music, Oh yeah, Heart of Glass. I'm a believer.
Speaker 3: That wasn't cheap the music in this episode.
Speaker 1: No, they had to pay a Beatles royalty. They Apple Music,
Speaker 1: Little Apple Records royalty. Yeah, Paul McCartney made money off.
Speaker 1: That was good for him.
Speaker 3: Yummy the yummy guys. Wait, what was the bar called
Speaker 3: yummy enough?
Speaker 5: Yummy yummy bartenders?
Speaker 3: Are they yummy enough? That's oh my god. Totally reminds
Speaker 3: me of Sex and the City again because they have
Speaker 3: the hot sour dough guys on the new one. Nobody's
Speaker 3: watching it other than me, but if you're watching it,
Speaker 3: you get it.
Speaker 1: K Kirk originally wanted to call him tasty morsels of manhood,
Speaker 1: but he went with yummy bar.
Speaker 3: Tenders and then he gets so mad at him. But anyway, continue.
Speaker 1: And then we come to the toast. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: people making speeches, Rory telling reading that charming letter from
Speaker 1: one Lane was in what kindergarten were not kindergarten.
Speaker 3: But oh yeah, which was a weird thing. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: thought it was just an awkward to marry a different guy.
Speaker 3: I thought that was.
Speaker 2: Weird, Like, out of all the things you can say
Speaker 2: about your friendship, you're going to read this and be like,
Speaker 2: by the way, she just love someone else.
Speaker 3: It was weird.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she didn't really put a lot of effort into it.
Speaker 1: It was kind of cute, and I think it denotes
Speaker 1: how far back they go. And yeah, I get that
Speaker 1: she actually saved a letter from that far back and
Speaker 1: that value is her friendship. Yeah, maybe are okay?
Speaker 5: I mean for someone who's a writer, I thought she
Speaker 5: could have come up with something a little better to shame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep that flat on the ground.
Speaker 4: Yeah nice.
Speaker 3: Brian's wasn't that great either, Yeah, what did he say?
Speaker 3: It was just all about Zach.
Speaker 1: It was just like, oh, yeah, Zach, You're like Lane,
Speaker 1: is there something wrong with you? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh, Lane's hair looked cool down and she was all
Speaker 3: sassed up.
Speaker 1: But I think I think it was It started getting
Speaker 1: troubling when the twenty shots of tequila showed up and
Speaker 1: they started just downing that stuff.
Speaker 3: Well, it started getting troubling when when lorel I sees
Speaker 3: the photo of April and.
Speaker 5: Rory, Oh, right, that was when she went and got
Speaker 5: the shots.
Speaker 4: I mean, I get it, she's sad.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think Rory explained it as.
Speaker 1: About to lose. You think you're losing a guy like
Speaker 1: luc It's going to drive you to drink, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: And I think I kind of just thought of this
Speaker 2: in this moment. But like when she's with Christopher, she's
Speaker 2: kind of in her like high school mentality, and I
Speaker 2: feel like when you're young and you're like, oh, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna drink, it's going to solve a problem. I mean
Speaker 2: not like everyone does that, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like so I think that's why it kind of worked
Speaker 2: with Christopher being the one she's you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like it all kind of comes back around to her.
Speaker 4: Well, the history of tequila, you know that it's kind
Speaker 4: of their default.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like when he's around she regresses. Yes, well,
Speaker 1: she reverts back to high school behavior. Right.
Speaker 3: I agree completely, And before we get into the real
Speaker 3: mess of it, hep alien this is where they sing
Speaker 3: I'm a believer. Was that the monkeys?
Speaker 4: Yes, smash the Monkeys, smash smash mouth mouth.
Speaker 1: No, you got.
Speaker 3: People are going to get mad at me because.
Speaker 1: They said nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 3: Mean to my co workers, it's not a smash mouth song.
Speaker 3: Smash mouth we did it.
Speaker 1: They covered it.
Speaker 4: Well, guess what did they did? They sing it? They
Speaker 4: sure did.
Speaker 1: Yes, the Monkeys actually took it from Tchaikovsky.
Speaker 3: You know when I saw her face.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's smash of the Monkeys.
Speaker 3: That's the Monkeys.
Speaker 4: That's totally smash.
Speaker 2: It certainly is not definitely the Monkeys and then redone
Speaker 2: by smashing the whole time.
Speaker 5: Old Diamond wrote that, didn't he. Now I got to
Speaker 5: look it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it was. It was written by Neil Diamond.
Speaker 1: Because The Monkeys was a put together kind of not
Speaker 1: a fake band, but they were. It was a Hollywood
Speaker 1: casting crack. It was like they were doing a TV
Speaker 1: show as well, because The Monkeys was a show which
Speaker 1: we watched every week.
Speaker 5: They were actors playing a band, and then were they.
Speaker 1: Were actual musicians two of them were. Oh, but there
Speaker 1: were two real actors in the which too.
Speaker 5: They were so Davy and Mickey were actors and Mike
Speaker 5: and Peter were musicians. Oh really, but the whole premise
Speaker 5: was that they were hired for this TV show. Like,
Speaker 5: they didn't set out to be a band, they were
Speaker 5: hired to create a TV show.
Speaker 3: The Monkeys are still alive. One or two one.
Speaker 1: One, just Mickey every Michael na passed away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw his last show.
Speaker 3: It was how crazy whoa?
Speaker 5: It was really good. He died like a month later,
Speaker 5: like three years.
Speaker 1: The show was really good.
Speaker 5: Huh, yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 2: When was that.
Speaker 5: Twenty two?
Speaker 2: I think? But when you google, I'm a believer, Like,
Speaker 2: the first thing that.
Speaker 3: Comes up is a picture of Shrek, doesn't It doesn't
Speaker 3: It is the.
Speaker 1: Track, it's the Monkeys.
Speaker 3: Nothing is ever the right, both Danielle and Tara at
Speaker 3: the exact same moment saying that such a mouth song,
Speaker 3: and we're.
Speaker 1: Like, don't learn history through Wikipedia, please.
Speaker 4: I wasn't alone, all right, It's not it's just Shrek.
Speaker 1: Ryan's making it.
Speaker 3: I'm taking it.
Speaker 2: If you google, its just a picture.
Speaker 3: Of It's not it's just not maybe just google. I'm
Speaker 3: a believer. I'm not going to I'm staying strong on that.
Speaker 3: You guys even said get it. I'll get it. Susanne.
Speaker 3: Ryan's making out with the exchange student. Oh, that was awesome.
Speaker 3: I love total because you didn't I have They made
Speaker 3: out for a while.
Speaker 5: I wasn't maybe I maybe I was looking away.
Speaker 2: I just saw it for a second.
Speaker 1: Well, so Laura le I stumbles up to give her speech,
Speaker 1: which was great because you heard this. She ran into
Speaker 1: the symbols obviously. She ran into drum set a little bit,
Speaker 1: which is great.
Speaker 3: She doesn't play drunk great though, Sorry.
Speaker 1: But she underplayed it and I thought it, Wow, he
Speaker 1: underplayed it.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, when you're when you're that,
Speaker 1: when you're that pissed drunk. I think that's the only
Speaker 1: route you can take as an actor.
Speaker 3: Does anybody get drunk to play those scenes?
Speaker 1: That would be no, you can't do. Anybody that has
Speaker 1: tried then, I'm sure there are people that I've heard
Speaker 1: people have tried that. Yeah, they regretted it the rest
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 3: Who plays drunk best? It's not Lauren Graham, although I
Speaker 3: love her more than anything.
Speaker 1: You know who plays drunk really well was Keiko? Yeah,
Speaker 1: fought did a drunken phone call to her mother. She
Speaker 1: was fantastic.
Speaker 3: They played drunk. They spin around a bunch of times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's a good time.
Speaker 3: Actors say they just turn and turn and turn and
Speaker 3: turn a bunch of times. Did I make that up? No,
Speaker 3: playing drunk would be hard.
Speaker 1: It's it's one of the it's the hardest thing to
Speaker 1: do in acting. It's really hard to do. I thought
Speaker 1: she I thought Lauren did a great job with it.
Speaker 1: I'm glad she underplayed it.
Speaker 3: Anybody I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 2: Amy on this it wasn't the best. And the speech,
Speaker 2: the speech was like started out like okay, it wasn't
Speaker 2: terrible in the beginning, and then it really fell off.
Speaker 3: And also, why does she think she's not getting married,
Speaker 3: not to be like a total want want, but like
Speaker 3: she's getting married.
Speaker 5: Well, I think because of the whole conversation with about the.
Speaker 1: Picture, right, she doesn't think she is right.
Speaker 5: I think that's when she realized, Okay, yet again, now
Speaker 5: Rory is you know, connected to April and Laura. I
Speaker 5: still is not. And I think, you know, because Luke
Speaker 5: has never had any kind of conversation with her about it.
Speaker 5: She's like, all right, here's even more evidence that I'm
Speaker 5: on the way out. So I think she just was
Speaker 5: sad from having If she hadn't seen that picture, I
Speaker 5: don't think it would have gone that way. But I
Speaker 5: think that's why that's why she starts veering in that direction,
Speaker 5: just because she realizes that now Rory knows April too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think whether she wants to admit it
Speaker 4: or not, she like definitely has an attachment to June third,
Speaker 4: and we know that that date was coming sooner rather
Speaker 4: than later, and they're up against the time crunch right
Speaker 4: now June third is not happening. So I think in
Speaker 4: her mind, June third doesn't happen. Then it's never happened.
Speaker 4: It's never happened.
Speaker 3: So interesting, interesting, which I do agree with her.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, she delivered the speech, they came up on
Speaker 1: stage and they take her away, take her away, and then.
Speaker 4: And don't you love Christopher? In that scene, he's, of course, oh,
Speaker 4: shoot to get your mom.
Speaker 1: I wanted her to keep talking.
Speaker 3: In front of the whole No, just keep going. That
Speaker 3: was super cringe.
Speaker 4: It was super cringe.
Speaker 1: Anyway, So now we're at home, puts her on the couch,
Speaker 1: gets her head up. Rory gets a phone call. Logan's
Speaker 1: been hurt in Cambodia. I'm sorry, Costa Rica. She goes,
Speaker 1: and now the two of our star crossed lovers are I.
Speaker 3: Was just about to say our lovers.
Speaker 1: Our star cross lovers.
Speaker 3: But they're not lovers.
Speaker 4: He didn't.
Speaker 3: There's nothing, There was no funny business. He just put
Speaker 3: her of that.
Speaker 4: It's interesting because I don't as a first time watcher,
Speaker 4: I don't feel that anything happened. But I sort of
Speaker 4: think Lorelai is unsure if anything happened. When she answered
Speaker 4: the phone and she looks and she's like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: like for I mean, watching it for the first time,
Speaker 4: I think that Lorelai thinks that she hooked.
Speaker 3: Up with Cus may I. I throw a flag on that. Sure,
Speaker 3: nobody hooks up with somebody and then they get up
Speaker 3: and sleep in a chair. Nothing happened. He's watching her
Speaker 3: because she's all drunkie, and he's being a good guy,
Speaker 3: and that's why he's sleeping in there.
Speaker 1: Maybe, you know, I think it was. It's kind of
Speaker 1: enough that laurel I wakes up and realizes she's talking
Speaker 1: to Luke on the phone and Christopher is in the
Speaker 1: bedroom where she's been getting drunk with him. That's enough
Speaker 1: of a cheat in her mind.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think she's in.
Speaker 1: A confusion to like, WHOA, this is like inappropriate and
Speaker 1: I had too much to drink and I, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of went over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she woke up and realized she made an ass
Speaker 3: of herself at the wedding.
Speaker 4: All came back to her and also the situation that
Speaker 4: she's in right now with Christopher in her room is
Speaker 4: not going to be okay with Luke and you shouldn't
Speaker 4: be okay with Yeah. So here comes another wedge that's
Speaker 4: she's gonna it right in the middle of their relationship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was kind of the perfect ending right there,
Speaker 1: right there sucked all the humor right out of the room.
Speaker 1: And then there we go with drama rama. Uh anyway, okay,
Speaker 1: so what do you give this episode, guys? And what
Speaker 1: is your yardstick? Susanne?
