Speaker 2: So Suzanne, hello, welcome. Fans want to get to know you.
Speaker 2: We didn't give you the proper introduction, are bad, but
Speaker 2: we fans have so many questions about who you are,
Speaker 2: where you came from, and.
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Speaker 4: So good morning, thank you for having me. I first
Speaker 4: watched Gilmore Girls back in I think it was twenty sixteen.
Speaker 4: It was right around the time that the revival came out,
Speaker 4: and so there was a lot of press and I
Speaker 4: was looking for something new to watch on Netflix. I
Speaker 4: just had finished watching I think it was Freaks and Geeks,
Speaker 4: and so looking for something new, and Gilmore Girls was
Speaker 4: on the splash screen of Netflix, and so I thought, well,
Speaker 4: I'll give this a try, and so I watched the
Speaker 4: pilot and was instantly like, Okay, this is my show,
Speaker 4: these are my people. So that was the first time
Speaker 4: I watched it. I binged the whole thing probably in
Speaker 4: a week or two, and then I made my husband
Speaker 4: binge it with me, and just ever since then, it's
Speaker 4: just been, you know, a comfort thing.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised you don't watch it on its first run.
Speaker 4: You know. So when it first aired, I actually a
Speaker 4: friend of mine actually did tell me, you know, you
Speaker 4: need to watch the show called Gilmore Girls, because it
Speaker 4: really reminds me of you and your mom because my
Speaker 4: mom and my mom was a single mom, and we
Speaker 4: were always very close. And but at the time I
Speaker 4: was too busy. I had little kids. My first kid
Speaker 4: was born in two thousand and three and the second
Speaker 4: was two thousand and six, so I wasn't watching anything
Speaker 4: that wasn't The Wiggles or you know, children's programming in
Speaker 4: the early two thousands. So and honestly, I thought it
Speaker 4: was more with the other shows that were on that
Speaker 4: network at the time. I thought it was like a
Speaker 4: teen show. I didn't realize it was what it was.
Speaker 4: So but I think I think I watched it at
Speaker 4: the time that I needed to see it, so it
Speaker 4: really when I did.
Speaker 3: Well, you hooked immediately, did you from the first moment?
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty much. When she when she walked in the
Speaker 4: diner and called Luke officer Krupke, which was a reference
Speaker 4: to West Side Story, I was like, Okay, this is
Speaker 4: an intelligent show. I'm gonna watch.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, but you know you and I go back to
Speaker 2: what two thousand and sixteen, seventeen seventeen, Yeah, right, so
Speaker 2: you helped out with the music tour. You came on
Speaker 2: tour with us, or we did a little coffeehouse tour
Speaker 2: seven states back of what was a twenty and seventeen
Speaker 2: the Atomic Love Tour.
Speaker 3: What do you mean.
Speaker 1: Through my assistant Elaine?
Speaker 4: Right, I was helping out with some of the social
Speaker 4: media stuff back then and got to be good friends
Speaker 4: with Elaine, and she needed some help at some of
Speaker 4: the California shows, and so that was kind of how
Speaker 4: it started, no way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, So Suzanne was nice enough to
Speaker 2: come join with her husband John, and they helped out
Speaker 2: a great deal with the merchandise and setting up any
Speaker 2: It was a lot to do for we.
Speaker 1: Had a small crew that we were traveling.
Speaker 2: We were like this traveling, traveling band of gypsies, and
Speaker 2: uh it was. It was actually quite fun until I
Speaker 2: started missing my two year old too much and I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm out of here, guys.
Speaker 3: But some people, some people figured it out, but some
Speaker 3: people didn't that Suzanne is a part of the crackstaff.
Speaker 2: She is the crackstaff. John John and Suzanne are the crackstaff.
Speaker 2: Elaine is part of the crackstaff as well. So it's
Speaker 2: a team of three.
Speaker 1: And they were they were real, and they were real.
Speaker 3: And I learned I learned a fun fact about Suzanne
Speaker 3: yesterday that I had no idea. She her real job
Speaker 3: and quotes when we're not doing this, she's a pharmacist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so awesome. Why do you think? Why? Why
Speaker 1: do you think? Why do you think? I'm so perky?
Speaker 4: That's why I remember all the details about the show
Speaker 4: because I have a very analytical, detailed brain from having
Speaker 4: to memorize thousands and thousands of drug facts.
Speaker 3: That's actually really true.
Speaker 4: Your brain works that way. Yeah, I'm not a creative
Speaker 4: person at all. I am a very analytical, like black
Speaker 4: and white, like give me the facts kind of person.
Speaker 3: How many times do you think you've watched the show now?
Speaker 4: You know, that's a good question. I I don't know,
Speaker 4: probably twenty. I'm not even sure. Some episodes more than others, obviously, Yeah,
Speaker 4: of course, you know, because sometimes when you just need
Speaker 4: a break, you'll put on your favorite episode and watch
Speaker 4: it for a little bit. But yeah, I've seen it
Speaker 4: a lot for there was a for a while. It's
Speaker 4: just kind of always been on in the background. I've
Speaker 4: kind of backed off of watching it because I want
Speaker 4: to follow along with the podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, I like that.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's it's just one of those those shows
Speaker 4: that you can turn to when you just need to,
Speaker 4: like Disconne for a little bit, totally.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you could, and I don't know who you've
Speaker 5: met and who you haven't met, but other than Scott,
Speaker 5: if you could meet real life person from the show
Speaker 5: and one character from the show, who would it be?
Speaker 4: I would so character. I would love to meet Laurele I.
Speaker 4: I just I really like Laura and she is definitely
Speaker 4: not without her flaws, but I really do love that
Speaker 4: character and in person. I would love to meet Kelly
Speaker 4: Bishop m Yeah, I Emily is the character that we
Speaker 4: all love to hate like that. She's she's a great character,
Speaker 4: but she's a terrible person. And I think Kelly just
Speaker 4: really knocked it out of the park on portraying that role.
Speaker 4: And I would love to meet her.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Interesting, Well welcome.
Speaker 2: Thank you fans, have a little better grasp on who
Speaker 2: you are, where you came from, what you're all about,
Speaker 2: and thank you for stepping in for Danielle big shoes
Speaker 2: to fill.
Speaker 1: But you're doing great so far.
Speaker 2: The feedback has been really positive.
Speaker 1: So we really really appreciate you coming on here and.
Speaker 4: Enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Takes a little bit of time.
Speaker 2: You have to sort of do a scheduling reshuffle in
Speaker 2: order to do this, so.
Speaker 3: We're kind of an odd bunch too. Wait Beam Dean
Speaker 3: Team Logan Team Jes Scott's favorite question of all the.
Speaker 4: I am Team Rory. I don't think any of them
Speaker 4: are her end game. I don't think any of them
Speaker 4: are her soulmate. I think they all had valuable lessons
Speaker 4: to teach her.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: They all certainly have flaws. I just don't see her
Speaker 4: with any of them in the long run. I think
Speaker 4: she needs to hang out by herself for a little
Speaker 4: bit and figure out who she is and what she
Speaker 4: wants and then find the right guy.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, all right, the good answer.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, so well, welcome to the to
Speaker 2: the team. We are better for it and I really
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Okay, anyway, any more questions for Susanne, Hey,
Speaker 2: send him in. There's there's there are more layers to
Speaker 2: peel back with Suzanne.
