<v Speaker 2>We didn't give you the proper introduction, are bad, but

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.639
<v Speaker 2>we fans have so many questions about who you are,

0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>where you came from, and.

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Tell us a little bit about yourself.

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 4>So good morning, thank you for having me. I first

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.559
<v Speaker 4>watched Gilmore Girls back in I think it was twenty sixteen.

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 4>It was right around the time that the revival came out,

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 4>and so there was a lot of press and I

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 4>was looking for something new to watch on Netflix. I

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 4>just had finished watching I think it was Freaks and Geeks,

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 4>and so looking for something new, and Gilmore Girls was

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 4>on the splash screen of Netflix, and so I thought, well,

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 4>I'll give this a try, and so I watched the

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 4>pilot and was instantly like, Okay, this is my show,

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 4>these are my people. So that was the first time

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 4>I watched it. I binged the whole thing probably in

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 4>a week or two, and then I made my husband

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 4>binge it with me, and just ever since then, it's

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 4>just been, you know, a comfort thing.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm surprised you don't watch it on its first run.

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 4>You know. So when it first aired, I actually a

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 4>friend of mine actually did tell me, you know, you

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 4>need to watch the show called Gilmore Girls, because it

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 4>really reminds me of you and your mom because my

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 4>mom and my mom was a single mom, and we

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 4>were always very close. And but at the time I

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 4>was too busy. I had little kids. My first kid

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 4>was born in two thousand and three and the second

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 4>was two thousand and six, so I wasn't watching anything

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 4>that wasn't The Wiggles or you know, children's programming in

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 4>the early two thousands. So and honestly, I thought it

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 4>was more with the other shows that were on that

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 4>network at the time. I thought it was like a

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 4>teen show. I didn't realize it was what it was.

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 4>So but I think I think I watched it at

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 4>the time that I needed to see it, so it

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 4>really when I did.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, you hooked immediately, did you from the first moment?

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, pretty much. When she when she walked in the

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 4>diner and called Luke officer Krupke, which was a reference

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 4>to West Side Story, I was like, Okay, this is

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 4>an intelligent show. I'm gonna watch.

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>So, but you know you and I go back to

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 2>what two thousand and sixteen, seventeen seventeen, Yeah, right, so

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>you helped out with the music tour. You came on

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>tour with us, or we did a little coffeehouse tour

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 2>seven states back of what was a twenty and seventeen

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>the Atomic Love Tour.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean.

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Through my assistant Elaine?

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Right, I was helping out with some of the social

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 4>media stuff back then and got to be good friends

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 4>with Elaine, and she needed some help at some of

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 4>the California shows, and so that was kind of how

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 4>it started, no way.

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, so yeah, So Suzanne was nice enough to

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>come join with her husband John, and they helped out

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>a great deal with the merchandise and setting up any

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.120
<v Speaker 2>It was a lot to do for we.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Had a small crew that we were traveling.

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>We were like this traveling, traveling band of gypsies, and

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>uh it was. It was actually quite fun until I

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>started missing my two year old too much and I

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>was like, I'm out of here, guys.

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 3>But some people, some people figured it out, but some

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 3>people didn't that Suzanne is a part of the crackstaff.

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>She is the crackstaff. John John and Suzanne are the crackstaff.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Elaine is part of the crackstaff as well. So it's

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a team of three.

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>And they were they were real, and they were real.

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 3>And I learned I learned a fun fact about Suzanne

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:44.119
<v Speaker 3>yesterday that I had no idea. She her real job

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 3>and quotes when we're not doing this, she's a pharmacist.

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's so awesome. Why do you think? Why? Why

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 1>do you think? Why do you think? I'm so perky?

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 4>That's why I remember all the details about the show

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 4>because I have a very analytical, detailed brain from having

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 4>to memorize thousands and thousands of drug facts.

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 3>That's actually really true.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Your brain works that way. Yeah, I'm not a creative

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.280
<v Speaker 4>person at all. I am a very analytical, like black

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 4>and white, like give me the facts kind of person.

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 3>How many times do you think you've watched the show now?

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, that's a good question. I I don't know,

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 4>probably twenty. I'm not even sure. Some episodes more than others, obviously, Yeah,

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 4>of course, you know, because sometimes when you just need

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 4>a break, you'll put on your favorite episode and watch

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 4>it for a little bit. But yeah, I've seen it

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 4>a lot for there was a for a while. It's

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 4>just kind of always been on in the background. I've

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 4>kind of backed off of watching it because I want

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 4>to follow along with the podcast.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thank you, I like that.

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, it's it's just one of those those shows

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 4>that you can turn to when you just need to,

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 4>like Disconne for a little bit, totally.

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if you could, and I don't know who you've

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 5>met and who you haven't met, but other than Scott,

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 5>if you could meet real life person from the show

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 5>and one character from the show, who would it be?

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 4>I would so character. I would love to meet Laurele I.

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 4>I just I really like Laura and she is definitely

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 4>not without her flaws, but I really do love that

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 4>character and in person. I would love to meet Kelly

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 4>Bishop m Yeah, I Emily is the character that we

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 4>all love to hate like that. She's she's a great character,

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 4>but she's a terrible person. And I think Kelly just

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 4>really knocked it out of the park on portraying that role.

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 4>And I would love to meet her.

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one. Interesting, Well welcome.

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Thank you fans, have a little better grasp on who

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>you are, where you came from, what you're all about,

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 2>and thank you for stepping in for Danielle big shoes

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 2>to fill.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>But you're doing great so far.

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>The feedback has been really positive.

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>So we really really appreciate you coming on here and.

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Enjoy it.

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Takes a little bit of time.

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 2>You have to sort of do a scheduling reshuffle in

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>order to do this, so.

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 3>We're kind of an odd bunch too. Wait Beam Dean

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 3>Team Logan Team Jes Scott's favorite question of all the.

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 4>I am Team Rory. I don't think any of them

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 4>are her end game. I don't think any of them

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 4>are her soulmate. I think they all had valuable lessons

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 4>to teach her.

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 4>They all certainly have flaws. I just don't see her

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 4>with any of them in the long run. I think

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 4>she needs to hang out by herself for a little

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 4>bit and figure out who she is and what she

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 4>wants and then find the right guy.

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Hmmm, all right, the good answer.

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, all right, so well, welcome to the to

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the team. We are better for it and I really

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. Okay, anyway, any more questions for Susanne, Hey,
