Speaker 1: to hand it off to the the very capable Danielle
Speaker 1: Romo to do the synopsis. So Riley, go ahead and
Speaker 1: hand it off in your inimitable style to Danielle. I
Speaker 1: just have to say, you guys are in great hands

Speaker 1: I am so nervous. Okay, Season two, episode seven, Like Mother,
Speaker 1: Like Daughter, Air date November two, and here's a synopsis.
Speaker 1: Rory realizes she is perceived as a loner, and her
Speaker 1: reluctant efforts to socialize Lander in the most popular click
Speaker 1: at Chiltern while Laura LII volunteers the inn as a
Speaker 1: venue for children fundraising fashion show, and it's horrified to
Speaker 1: find herself modeling matching outfits with her mother, Emily. How
Speaker 1: did I do? That was darn respectable? I said, it's
Speaker 1: pretty darn good, Riley, and can go back to bed
Speaker 1: and don't be sick for too long, because this Danielle
Speaker 1: romo has potential as a synopsis. I'm coming. I don't
Speaker 1: know about that, but I'll tell you that was pretty tight.
Speaker 1: I'm very impressed. It was amazing a little Nike. Well,
Speaker 1: um right, you're gonna conk oh. You know I can't
Speaker 1: stay away from on lin for too long. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: I feel better. We are going to break down Like Mother,
Speaker 1: Like Daughter, Season two, Episodes seven. What an episode. I
Speaker 1: think Amy and I are gonna lock horns on this
Speaker 1: one this week. We're gonna lock horns big time. I
Speaker 1: love this episode and I love you in it. But
Speaker 1: that's look that that's great and I appreciate it. Um
Speaker 1: I thought it was. I don't know. Was it a
Speaker 1: little awkward for you at the top? Was it a
Speaker 1: little forced and a little pushed and everything about this
Speaker 1: whole episode. I laughed hysterically the whole time at the
Speaker 1: top of the episode though, So, I mean you told
Speaker 1: me that. You told me that. Uh, when we were
Speaker 1: going back and forth during the week, which we do
Speaker 1: a lot, you said, I love this episode. I can't
Speaker 1: stop laughing. And I thought, is she talking about the episode?
Speaker 1: Because I watched the episode last night and I didn't
Speaker 1: really laugh until Michelle came on. Yeah, the jokes, the
Speaker 1: jokes didn't land with me. In the beginning, between mother
Speaker 1: and daughter, it just seemed like they were doing stick
Speaker 1: It just seemed like it just didn't seem like it
Speaker 1: was real or acting or it was just it felt
Speaker 1: a little sticky to me. And then Michelle came on
Speaker 1: and he did his thing about you know, I'll do
Speaker 1: this favor for you if you get me a cheese,
Speaker 1: American cheese and a Marine cookie and the cookie, and
Speaker 1: that's when I finally laughed. You know, that was pretty
Speaker 1: early on. Yeah, I started cracking up by the time,
Speaker 1: you know, Headmaster Charleston was telling Rory to get some friends,
Speaker 1: and then all that with Laurea la and then she
Speaker 1: has to join the Boosters and then you I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm going so fast, but I was dying laughing when
Speaker 1: the fashion show runaway still thing, and she says I
Speaker 1: loved her work in Pizza but m M, no, great,
Speaker 1: there were some great lines. It's just the whole thing
Speaker 1: just seemed a little I don't know, there was just something.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you didn't love the end the in
Speaker 1: the diner, so not the very very end, but the
Speaker 1: end with you and Lora Lee going back and forth
Speaker 1: about Eva the booster Mom. But I think it was
Speaker 1: very predictable. I thought that was very, very predictable. That scene,
Speaker 1: of course, was inevitable. There's there's there's a difference between
Speaker 1: inevitable and predictable. Um, I just knew it was coming
Speaker 1: without a shadow of a doubt. I don't want to
Speaker 1: know that it's so on the nose that it's coming.
Speaker 1: I'm being too critical. I'm in a critical mood. And
Speaker 1: it's fine. It makes for great conversation. But I loved
Speaker 1: it from the moment that Brenda Strong, who played this
Speaker 1: single booster Mom, says you're cute and musclely and strong
Speaker 1: or whatever, and Lora La is immediately like w TF,
Speaker 1: Like I don't like this at all. She doesn't even
Speaker 1: know why. Correct, But that's what I love about, right,
Speaker 1: I know her feelings are so deeply buried that she
Speaker 1: doesn't know if I'm a friend or somebody she wants.
Speaker 1: And then I think it's we're friends and she's not
Speaker 1: aware of any feelings that she has, and they don't
Speaker 1: come to the surface very often, and it takes some
Speaker 1: kind of a situation. So you think I'm wrong about that.
Speaker 1: I don't think she's not. She's not sitting around waiting
Speaker 1: for me to ask her out, that's for sure. She's
Speaker 1: not hyper aware that she loves you. But who says
Speaker 1: to their friend, please don't date this person? Zero? People
Speaker 1: say that if they don't have feelings for the person zero.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, But I think so here's okay,
Speaker 1: here's what I'm I'm not struggling with it. But you know,
Speaker 1: the realization that Luke and Laurela have the kind of
Speaker 1: a flirtation that is already it's already. They've been married
Speaker 1: for twenty years, and they're sick of each other. There's
Speaker 1: so much familiarity, there's so much comfort between those two
Speaker 1: that they just don't give it damn sort of, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. There's that yes, yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go out whatever bum they're out and and and and
Speaker 1: they can argue and he can get lose his temper
Speaker 1: a little bit and she can lose her temper and
Speaker 1: it's okay. There's such a grounded familiarity that it's like
Speaker 1: they've already been married. They are the quintessential old married couple.
Speaker 1: They are they are, they truly are, and that's how
Speaker 1: they treat each other. It's just there's no but with love.
Speaker 1: They're not nasty the scene right right, there's no like
Speaker 1: we're not going to So it's so is it weird
Speaker 1: with with these two Luke and Lorelai where there's a
Speaker 1: there's no honeymoon phase? So we have we have, you know,
Speaker 1: all of this familiarity and all of this. So we're
Speaker 1: friends and it's sort of where we love each other
Speaker 1: but we're not going to acknowledge it. And you know,
Speaker 1: we're very are familiar with each other like friends punching
Speaker 1: each other and they are that kind of thing and
Speaker 1: getting mad at each other and then then we shift
Speaker 1: gears and go into a honeymoon phase. Is that going
Speaker 1: to be any phase? Maybe you're never going to have that,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just saying if I haven't seen everything,
Speaker 1: because it's like a honeymoon phase is like fake and
Speaker 1: who cares and it's just b s. It's like, these
Speaker 1: two are so real. And I love that Luke pushed
Speaker 1: back on her because a smitten guy like we kind
Speaker 1: of know you are, would have been like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna date her. Don't worry, I'm gonna date he
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna date her. But instead you're like, excuse me,
Speaker 1: I'll date whoever I want. And it was just so baller.
Speaker 1: And then she's like and you have this little fight
Speaker 1: and then she's like everybody knows how you get back
Speaker 1: to stars Hollow, like everyone. I mean, the whole thing
Speaker 1: was so funny. That was good. It was good. But
Speaker 1: you know who you can ask in the waiting room,
Speaker 1: do you want to reveal who's here? Because you could
Speaker 1: get some Really, she's here already. We didn't even get
Speaker 1: to discuss the episode. We'll come back. We're gonna come back,
Speaker 1: but it's fresh, I know, but this will this will
Speaker 1: help it along. This is if you know, I have
Speaker 1: to get to this. Where's this rundown? She's very impressive,
Speaker 1: very she's like extremely She's got so much I can't
Speaker 1: even read. Her resume is so long and so interesting.
Speaker 1: I can't even get through it. It's like I keep
Speaker 1: stopping going are you kidding me? Wow? Um let's anyway,
Speaker 1: So we've got Brenda Strong coming on. And she played
Speaker 1: Eva and uh like mother, like daughter, and she had
Speaker 1: a couple of really great scenes. And I understand that
Speaker 1: she is getting a note here that she's in the
Speaker 1: waiting room. Can we bring her on? Hi? Brenda, how
Speaker 1: are you doing? Good? Thanks for coming on and playing
Speaker 1: with us. To Emmy nominations and to Screen Actors Guilds Awards. Wow.
Speaker 1: All after we worked together, it was all what happens?
Speaker 1: See what happens? You doing? I'm shoulders a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm good. Good. It's twenty years ago we did that thing,
Speaker 1: and it seems like yesterday. She does funny because, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, in preparation for this, I watched it again
Speaker 1: and the dialogue just started coming back to me, and
Speaker 1: all my cues started coming back to me. And it's funny,
Speaker 1: how you know, as actors we store these things in
Speaker 1: the recesses of our mind. And Amy Sherman Palladino's dialogue
Speaker 1: is just so snappy, and I remember her telling me
Speaker 1: what a fan of Aaron Sorkin's she was um and
Speaker 1: and also you know, Lauren said that she loved Sports Night.
Speaker 1: So I just felt like immediately they welcomed me into
Speaker 1: that kind of amazing pattern, um, that they would have.
Speaker 1: And and it was really fun to see the episode again, right,
Speaker 1: that was a fun That was a fun episode. I
Speaker 1: had little problems, but I felt it was a little
Speaker 1: forced in the beginning between mother and daughter. It was
Speaker 1: just getting a little sticky for me. Um. I went
Speaker 1: on to lay back a little more on the acting,
Speaker 1: but it was just so no no Laurel, Laurea, la
Speaker 1: and Rory in the beginning, all the openings, the openings
Speaker 1: are hard, you know, and they do them very well.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're a little off for me. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm being too critical probably, but we also it was
Speaker 1: early on. This was season two. Yeah, yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think I think the problem, you know, I think that
Speaker 1: really comes in with the volume of work that those
Speaker 1: two had to do and feeling like they had to
Speaker 1: be up, up, up all the time and getting the
Speaker 1: note like, hey, maybe it's you know, it's just kind
Speaker 1: of laying there. Can you up the energy and let's
Speaker 1: drink some more coffee? And get some more. So I
Speaker 1: think this is one of the times maybe they drank
Speaker 1: too much coffee. Um and just in the beginning, though,
Speaker 1: just in the beginning, I thought the rest of it
Speaker 1: was masterful. But I'm here to break them down. So
Speaker 1: how did you get the part? Do you remember the
Speaker 1: whole process of that? And I don't. I don't remember
Speaker 1: if it was just a straight offer. I had done
Speaker 1: a series for Warner Brothers previously called The Help, not
Speaker 1: the film to Help, but um, the short lived six
Speaker 1: episode comedy to Help UM. And I think Warner Brothers
Speaker 1: just knew my work and said you'd be great in this.
Speaker 1: And I think Amy and you might work from Sports
Speaker 1: Night and UM, I can't remember if I had already
Speaker 1: done the pilot for Desperate Housewives. I don't think I had. UM,
Speaker 1: So I think it was really just, you know, working
Speaker 1: with Aaron Sorkin kind of gave me some kind of
Speaker 1: stamp of approval. Um, because I don't remember auditioning for it,
Speaker 1: and I usually remember them. I did a lot of them.
Speaker 1: What about what about on set? Who'd you hang out
Speaker 1: with on set? Do you remember? Um? I hung out
Speaker 1: a lot with Lauren um. Uh, you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: have much work with anybody else. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: just that core group of boosters, UM, who I just
Speaker 1: met basically, and then you. Um. It was funny because
Speaker 1: I was watching an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm UM
Speaker 1: this last season with Julie Bowen, and they were exchanging
Speaker 1: secrets as a first state kind of warm up, and
Speaker 1: one of his secrets was fast route to the Valley
Speaker 1: from the West Side. And I was thinking about the
Speaker 1: directions you gave me at the end of the episode, UM,
Speaker 1: and and how you know, good directions are always hard,
Speaker 1: but I don't you know, I think Lauren was very
Speaker 1: warm with me. Um. You know, the whole the whole
Speaker 1: fashion show thing. It was so funny because people just
Speaker 1: assume because I'm tall, that I modeled, and of course
Speaker 1: I haven't, but I can pretend I did, so UM.
Speaker 1: I thought it was I think that what I remember
Speaker 1: more than anything that episode was the tension of the
Speaker 1: crew with the director. M I don't remember the crew
Speaker 1: really enjoying the direction. And there were a lot of
Speaker 1: There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen. Oh,
Speaker 1: that may may have explained that opening. Yeah, there were
Speaker 1: a lot of cooks in the kitchen on that something
Speaker 1: was off, and I think the crew at one point
Speaker 1: actually left a help wanted sign on his windshield circle.
Speaker 1: It was really bad. It was really bad, and I
Speaker 1: felt so bad for him because, as you know, you know,
Speaker 1: guest stars and guest directors were guests. So our job
Speaker 1: is to come in and do the thing like everyone
Speaker 1: is normally doing the thing, but just add a little
Speaker 1: extra spice. And I think I think there was just
Speaker 1: and you know, it's certainly I have no idea if
Speaker 1: it was any fault of his or if it was
Speaker 1: just the chemistry thing. It wasn't quite jiding. You know
Speaker 1: that that happens from time to time. It does happen.
Speaker 1: I was on another series where we had somebody coming,
Speaker 1: like a celebrated director come in on a single camera comedy,
Speaker 1: and it just that there was so much tension and
Speaker 1: it was just I had to sort of step up
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know, look, we do this a
Speaker 1: certain way, and we like to block our rehearsals. It's
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, we don't like to be told
Speaker 1: where to go stand. It's not terribly professional. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you have it all thought out, but we like to
Speaker 1: be organic about it and like we'd like to discover it.
Speaker 1: We'd like to discover exactly exactly pretty basic stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that can cause a lot of tension to Yeah, directed,
Speaker 1: did you ever direct any of the episodes? Oh god, no,
Speaker 1: oh no, they wouldn't let me near that show as
Speaker 1: a director after a long run, you know, sometimes actor,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody ever directed any of those episodes.
Speaker 1: No actors, No, oh I don't. I don't think so, Lauren. No.
Speaker 1: I think if anybody was going to would have been,
Speaker 1: but she didn't and she just had too much on
Speaker 1: her plate. Maybe she wanted to, and she would have
Speaker 1: been wonderful, but um god, I don't recall anybody directing.
Speaker 1: I see this a lot where you know somebody sure
Speaker 1: she Sure she did. I mean she would do three
Speaker 1: or four a season for five season. Yeah, Dan would
Speaker 1: to see exactly exactly They knew exactly what to listen for,
Speaker 1: what the rhythm was, where the jokes were. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can see it in the marvelous Mrs Maisel that
Speaker 1: that signature of theirs is just so evident in the
Speaker 1: work that they continued to refine and do so brilliantly. Um,
Speaker 1: so you know you can you can kind of get
Speaker 1: the voice early on in those years and how it developed.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I went on and worked with the
Speaker 1: costume designer Caroline Marks on Thirteen Reasons Why, and she
Speaker 1: told me that she had designed Um the Father character
Speaker 1: after her own father and had dressed him like she's
Speaker 1: to see her father dress. So it's fun how you know,
Speaker 1: these little threads of relationships kind of crossover. I'm surprised
Speaker 1: we've never worked together again. It was a match made
Speaker 1: in heaven, and there's you know, I don't get it either.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I feel like my interest
Speaker 1: in you kind of sparked her interest and started to
Speaker 1: build that tension. As the years went on. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you know you guys went through lots of incarnations of
Speaker 1: the tension field of the romance we were We were
Speaker 1: just discussing that aspect. Yeah, how we sort of treat
Speaker 1: each other like we've been married for twenty years and
Speaker 1: we're just kind of over it. We're so familiar with
Speaker 1: each other, it's like way past the honeymoon phase and
Speaker 1: we just don't I mean, I I think I wanted
Speaker 1: more than she does. I'm more aware of it and
Speaker 1: more conscious conscious of it, of my feelings for her
Speaker 1: than she is a mind for me, because she's just
Speaker 1: got so much on her plate and she's raising her
Speaker 1: daughter and she's running me in and she's you know,
Speaker 1: trying to cure her h im an empty nest syndrome
Speaker 1: that she will experience. So she needs, you know, she
Speaker 1: wants to have a life herself. So she's out there
Speaker 1: trying to get it. And I don't blame her, but
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm on her mind as much as
Speaker 1: she's on mine. Um, And every once in a while
Speaker 1: she needs that little reminder and she got it right. Um.
Speaker 1: So you so you were part of the Booster fashion show. Um,
Speaker 1: did you have any say in the dress that you
Speaker 1: wore when you were going down the catwalk? Um? Not
Speaker 1: that I recall, you know, So that was that was
Speaker 1: all Brenda costume designer Brenda Maybe. Yeah, I didn't really
Speaker 1: have a say in what I wore, just the fact
Speaker 1: that it fit. And I think she wanted it to
Speaker 1: be a little bit flashier so that the mother daughter
Speaker 1: read suits, you know, the red dresses, kind of the
Speaker 1: Nancy Reagan kind of matching suits would be a little
Speaker 1: more staid. So it would make Lauren's character more uncomfortable
Speaker 1: to have to wear that. Um, and certainly it was
Speaker 1: much more flashy in order to gain your attention in
Speaker 1: some capacity, to make her jealous, even though she didn't
Speaker 1: quite admit to being jealous. Um. Yeah, no, I didn't
Speaker 1: really have any saying that. So it was a very
Speaker 1: short runway right, it was. It was y'all had to
Speaker 1: milk it right and take short steps. Do you think
Speaker 1: anything would have come of Luke and Eva if Laurla
Speaker 1: hadn't said anything at the end? Oh, I think there
Speaker 1: was definitely in ist. Um No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think you you probably you know, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that just don't see what's in front of
Speaker 1: them because their mind is somewhere else. And I think
Speaker 1: you were already gone for her in some capacity, so
Speaker 1: no amount of flirting could have um convinced you out otherwise. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you know. I don't know what
Speaker 1: other interest would have been there. Clearly I was interested,
Speaker 1: so I would have I think you put the kabash
Speaker 1: on that, um, But um, what else was it going
Speaker 1: to say? I wanted to talk about just overall how
Speaker 1: much I love the fact that this show was centered
Speaker 1: around women's relationships because so many shows are centered around
Speaker 1: male female relationships, and the fact that it's intergenerational mother daughter,
Speaker 1: and that it skips a generation and that the youngest
Speaker 1: uh female in the family line is really the this
Speaker 1: soul among them, um, and that this kind of rejecting
Speaker 1: the generation that you come from, only to find it
Speaker 1: it's full circle to come back again. Um. And also
Speaker 1: the strength. You know, I love the fact that um,
Speaker 1: strong women are a theme with her, and women trying
Speaker 1: to find who they are and find their own voice
Speaker 1: and be the individual that they are, regardless of the age. UM.
Speaker 1: I just think it's great. UM. So I was happy
Speaker 1: to kind of represent a certain stratosphere of that and
Speaker 1: also be someone who's still obviously this is a woman
Speaker 1: who has money, who has you know, her kids in
Speaker 1: the right schools, and yet she's still looking for a partner.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's just it was nice that the
Speaker 1: show is driven by the women's voices, absolutely, um um,
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate that, and that kind of led
Speaker 1: to Desperate Housewives, which was all driven by the women's voices.
Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna get to esperate Housewives for sure. Um,
Speaker 1: well we'll get there. Um, so you have been on Cheers, Dallas,
Speaker 1: Star Trek, twin Peaks, tell me that you're going way back.
Speaker 1: Well you know, I mean, you've got an impressive list
Speaker 1: of credits here. How did you get into acting? You know,
Speaker 1: it's funny. Um, I started out as a dancer. So
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, all of my siblings played
Speaker 1: musical instruments, and my dad was a composer and my
Speaker 1: mom sang, and so we were very musical, very literary family.
Speaker 1: My both my parents, you know, we're highly educated. We
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of money, but we had a
Speaker 1: lot of love and a lot of you know, books, music,
Speaker 1: live music in the house, lots of books. Um. So
Speaker 1: I started dancing as a as a young girl because
Speaker 1: I didn't want to play an instrument that one of
Speaker 1: my siblings already had picked up, because I knew I
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be as good. Um. The irony is I
Speaker 1: eventually became a music major and got a musical theater.
Speaker 1: So the dancing led me to singing, and the singing
Speaker 1: and dancing led me to musicals, and I grew up
Speaker 1: watching all the nineteen forties musicals and just loved old Hollywood.
Speaker 1: But I grew up in the woods in the middle
Speaker 1: of the Pacific Northwest, and I didn't know any professional actors.
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could actually do that for a living.
Speaker 1: I thought, well, that's what you do when you're going
Speaker 1: to school to have fun. Um. But my dad was
Speaker 1: a college counselor and he came to see me in
Speaker 1: the Music Man. I was playing Marion and um, and
Speaker 1: my sister, who's very dry, she's a doctor, she's, you know,
Speaker 1: very cut and dry. Um. She was crying and my
Speaker 1: dad looked over at my sister and he looked up
Speaker 1: at me. He goes, there's something going on. She's really
Speaker 1: good at this. So he basically said, you know, if
Speaker 1: you want to do this for a living, I think
Speaker 1: you you could. He gave me what's called a strong
Speaker 1: vocational interest blank and I scored in the hundred percentile
Speaker 1: of performing arts, and so he knew I'd be happy
Speaker 1: doing it, and so I got that little extra push
Speaker 1: that a lot of performers don't get from their parents,
Speaker 1: and their parents tried to talk them out of it.
Speaker 1: My dad just basically said, yeah, I think you're strong
Speaker 1: enough to do this, and um. And then the Oregon
Speaker 1: Shakespeare Company came through and Oregan Shakes performed at my
Speaker 1: high school, and I went, wait a minute, you're not kids.
Speaker 1: There's something to this. So I ended up getting a
Speaker 1: degree in musical theater and later on during Shakespeare and
Speaker 1: all of that, and my husband actually ran Shakespeare Santa
Speaker 1: Monica for Nion eleven years. Um. Yeah, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: how I started. That's interesting. So of all the characters
Speaker 1: you played, which character you most like? Oh? I like
Speaker 1: all my characters, even even the misguided evil ones. But
Speaker 1: which one of you you most like? Oh? Which one
Speaker 1: am I'm as um at the time? Probably Mary Alice,
Speaker 1: I think. Um. I think I was very much Um,
Speaker 1: a woman who took care of her friends and sublimated
Speaker 1: her own needs for others. And Um, ironically had struggled
Speaker 1: with infertility, which Mark Terry weirdly, uh intuited. He didn't
Speaker 1: know I had. He just put it in the script,
Speaker 1: and that became one of the main motives for me
Speaker 1: to adopt this child that I ended up eventually killing
Speaker 1: his mother. Um. And I haven't murdered anyone, so I'm
Speaker 1: not like her in that way. But UM, I think
Speaker 1: I think the loyalty that Mary Alice had, and the
Speaker 1: soulfulness and the humanity and um, the desire to shine
Speaker 1: light on on other people's humanity is probably the closest
Speaker 1: to me. And you voiced over and narrated a hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty episodes of that. Yeah, just a couple. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. It's funny because people who grew up with
Speaker 1: the show said that that they hear my voice in
Speaker 1: their head narrating their life. Did this lead to a
Speaker 1: lot of voiceover work commercial voiceover work? It must have.
Speaker 1: It did initially, Yeah, it did initially. Um, but then
Speaker 1: I found out that there were a lot of people
Speaker 1: out there that were imitating me that we're cheaper to hire.
Speaker 1: So they ended up doing that quite a bit. Um.
Speaker 1: Well that there's got to be some like intellectual property
Speaker 1: property theft cases there, I mean, right, I wish now,
Speaker 1: I mean, can't you like send a cease and desists? Like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know you can't. You can't copy me? That's me? Well, yes,
Speaker 1: and but the care there is owned by Disney actually,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't personally go after them for imitating Mary Alice. Um, right,
Speaker 1: they owned the character. Yeah, but that's your voice, I know.
Speaker 1: I know, and my Weirdly, my voice has always been
Speaker 1: the thing that's most recognizable. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's because I was a singer or there's a certain tonality,
Speaker 1: but early on in my career, people would say that
Speaker 1: they'd be in their kitchen and they'd hear my voice
Speaker 1: on a commercial and they know it was me and
Speaker 1: they'd come in. So there's something, there's something in the
Speaker 1: tonality that that resonates with people. I don't know what.
Speaker 1: Don't question it, it works, you know. I met Mark
Speaker 1: Cherry on something he did. What was the series he
Speaker 1: was doing after Desperate? Did he did something after Gid? Yes?
Speaker 1: And I met him on that and I mistake. I thought,
Speaker 1: who's the guy who created American Beauty of the film? Oh?
Speaker 1: That was Alan Ball. I thought that Mark Cherry was
Speaker 1: Alan Ball for some reason, and I started w Ele
Speaker 1: went on to do six ft under the Lauren had
Speaker 1: done right. So I was going on and on in
Speaker 1: the meeting. I was going on and on about American
Speaker 1: Beauty and talk about being unprepared for a meeting. Uh
Speaker 1: and uh. He looked at me and goes, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? At least he said it I should well,
Speaker 1: didn't you create didn't you write the um American beauty?
Speaker 1: He goes No, said Jesus, I'm sorry. You know, I
Speaker 1: really I appreciate the fact that that's what your brain did,
Speaker 1: because there are certain things in American beauty that are
Speaker 1: very much like Desperate Housewives, like the roses in the
Speaker 1: bath water, the red apple, like there's a there's an
Speaker 1: Americana assion to American beauty that's that kind of hidden
Speaker 1: behind the garage doors. There's a lot of vida stuff
Speaker 1: going on. I totally get why your brain did that, right,
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't take it. He didn't take it
Speaker 1: as a compliment. He did not take it that way. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because Mark hadn't seen any of
Speaker 1: my work before I got Desperate Housewives either, so you
Speaker 1: know you can't really he said, oh yeah, I saw
Speaker 1: you on a CSI episode and it was like, I've
Speaker 1: been working for thirty years. Okay, see, but that's what
Speaker 1: it takes. Yeah, you know, it's like if you if you,
Speaker 1: if you have this massive body of work, maybe somebody
Speaker 1: will see the right thing one time. You know. It's
Speaker 1: like it's just it's amazing. And now with the amount
Speaker 1: of content out there. I mean, there are people who
Speaker 1: are in the seventh year of a season of something
Speaker 1: that I've never been watched, and I'm like, wow, right,
Speaker 1: they're celebrating their hundred and fiftie episodes like I had
Speaker 1: no idea. I wasn't even aware of the series. There's
Speaker 1: so much contract good God, there's like hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 1: and hundreds of television series. Did you know how big
Speaker 1: the show would become when you began a Desperate Housewines?
Speaker 1: Did you did you have an inkling? You know? It's
Speaker 1: funny because Oprah asked me that same question because she
Speaker 1: had done a little special upon the Lane, and she said,
Speaker 1: you know, did you know it was going to be
Speaker 1: this big of a hit? Would you have killed yourself
Speaker 1: if you knew it was going to be such a
Speaker 1: big And I said, no, of course not. I would
Speaker 1: have called suicide hotline. I could have talked to my friends.
Speaker 1: Um I had an inkling. Uh that that other series
Speaker 1: on Warner Brothers called The Help that I was doing
Speaker 1: was I was actually tied contractually to that when they
Speaker 1: did the original round of auditions and casting for Desperate Housewives,
Speaker 1: So I wasn't available for the original casting. UM. But
Speaker 1: then they recast a couple of characters and one of
Speaker 1: them was Mary Alice Young because they wanted a a
Speaker 1: little bit more of just a different voice than than
Speaker 1: the original cast person cast had. And I was actually
Speaker 1: doing Shakespeare up in Montana at the time. And I
Speaker 1: got the audition and my my managers and my agents said,
Speaker 1: we've heard really good things about this pilot, like this
Speaker 1: is the pilot that everyone wanted to get last season,
Speaker 1: and would you be willing to fly down here for
Speaker 1: an audition? And um, you know this is before we
Speaker 1: ever put ourselves on tape for anything, um pandemic, before
Speaker 1: all of that technology. So I said, yeah, I'm in
Speaker 1: the middle of you know, rehearsals, but I could fly
Speaker 1: down for an audition and um. And so they got
Speaker 1: me the audition and I did. And I walked into
Speaker 1: the room and Mark Jerry was sitting there with Scott
Speaker 1: Jenkin jer and um Jinny Lowry Johnson and you know,
Speaker 1: all the all the people that were involved with the
Speaker 1: show at the time. And he said, I hope you
Speaker 1: don't mind that I'm going to close my eyes and
Speaker 1: just listen to you. And I remember a girl coming
Speaker 1: out of the audition before I had gone in, and
Speaker 1: she said, Oh, they're so nice. They don't even you know,
Speaker 1: don't worry about having it memorized because they all have
Speaker 1: their eyes closed. And I thought, oh, no, I'm going
Speaker 1: to have it memorized because this is still a performance.
Speaker 1: And so um, they closed their eyes and I just
Speaker 1: took them on a journey, um like, my name is
Speaker 1: Mary Alice Young and did the whole thing. And afterwards
Speaker 1: Mark opened his eyes and he just looked at me
Speaker 1: and he said, how long is your contract for for
Speaker 1: the Shakespeare Company? And I thought, oh, that's a good sign.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, I made them get me an
Speaker 1: understudy because I had a feeling something like this would
Speaker 1: happen good And he said, we'll be in touch. And
Speaker 1: then I flew back to do opening night at Midsummer's
Speaker 1: because I was doing two shows. I was doing Summers
Speaker 1: and Much of You about Nothing, and I didn't even
Speaker 1: get to to Mount much Ado. Fully we were doing
Speaker 1: in Rotation and I had to leave before we had
Speaker 1: an opening night for that one, and do the pilots.
Speaker 1: When it happens when you're the most busy, right, Well,
Speaker 1: they say, plan a vacation this was a vacation that
Speaker 1: wasn't really a paid job. It was just something from
Speaker 1: my soul. Um. You know. Every so often Mary Alice
Speaker 1: would be on the screen. Another time she was a
Speaker 1: voice of with Terry Lane. Did you treat the character
Speaker 1: of Mary Alice differently on an off screen? Was there
Speaker 1: a difference? No? Um, Actually, it's it's interesting because I
Speaker 1: had never you know, I'm an actor, I'm not a
Speaker 1: voice actor. So I had to figure out how to
Speaker 1: act this part because it had to be three dimensional
Speaker 1: for me, um, in order to to bring life to it.
Speaker 1: And for me, it was very interactive. Even though the
Speaker 1: other characters couldn't hear me, Um, I was still very
Speaker 1: much involved in shaping things with them, and so the
Speaker 1: process was kind of interesting. We would do a table read,
Speaker 1: just like you do with you know, most sitcoms, because
Speaker 1: Mark had come from that that um, that pattern of preparation,
Speaker 1: because you just want to hear your words out loud,
Speaker 1: you know. UM. So we did the table read, they'd
Speaker 1: go off to film and I'd go down to the
Speaker 1: um Alfred Hitchcock Theater and I would record my voiceover.
Speaker 1: And before I had done that, I would break down
Speaker 1: all my beats, you know, all my intentions, what I
Speaker 1: would want it to do with the line, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera,
Speaker 1: And I do it kind of in the dark literally UM,
Speaker 1: and then the cut would come in and it would
Speaker 1: be UM, either the script supervisor's voice on the cut
Speaker 1: or my voice that had been prerecorded kind of placed throughout.
Speaker 1: And then I'd watch the episode again and I would
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I got a music degree because I
Speaker 1: would find the syncopatient and the rhythm of how to
Speaker 1: tie the line in with what choices the other actors
Speaker 1: had made. And sometimes my intention would totally change from
Speaker 1: the basic you know, in the dark voiceover read to
Speaker 1: them what they were doing. So it became very interactive
Speaker 1: for me. I loved it. I had such a good time. UM.
Speaker 1: And I remember Felicity Hoffman once saying, you know, because
Speaker 1: Mark had her read the Mavo, they called it the
Speaker 1: Mavo Mary Alice voiceover. UM had her read it one
Speaker 1: time because I wasn't there, and she she came away
Speaker 1: and she said, that's a lot harder than it was.
Speaker 1: It was really sweet. It was really sweet that she
Speaker 1: gave me the props on that, because you know people
Speaker 1: though while you're just doing voice over. UM, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna we're getting towards the end here of our time.
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you one last well this
Speaker 1: isn't the last question, but in this in this segment,
Speaker 1: it is where would uh, in your opinion, Eva and
Speaker 1: Luke gone on a date? Had they gone on a date, oh,
Speaker 1: they probably would have thrown it in in um in
Speaker 1: Lauren's face a little bit and gone to the like
Speaker 1: the restaurant at Star Hollow or something, just to kind
Speaker 1: of going going to the Independence in for for lunch,
Speaker 1: maybe gotten really drunk, loud, got got TACKI and you
Speaker 1: know a lot of p D A terrible terrible for
Speaker 1: her to have to be at work. It would have
Speaker 1: been a different series. But anyway, go ahead, totally different,
Speaker 1: totally different. Um, it wouldn't have been as p g um.
Speaker 1: I did want to say. I just came off of
Speaker 1: something that I really loved that I'd love to plug.
Speaker 1: Go ahead. First Street. It's a new series on AMC
Speaker 1: written by Peter Moffatt who Did Your Honor and The
Speaker 1: Night Of and I play a prosecutor opposite Courtney b.

Speaker 1: He's the best. I want to do everything with him
Speaker 1: now everything. But but it's a socially relevant piece, particularly

Speaker 1: all right, bye bye, all right. Her, she was great. Huh.
Speaker 1: She is the coolest, right, she does have She does
Speaker 1: have that very distinct voice. You know. I think she mad.
Speaker 1: I think she made such a good point. She did
Speaker 1: push Luke and Lorela together a little bit. She does
Speaker 1: have a soothing boy she does. It's it's like it's
Speaker 1: bottomed down a little, a little lower register, but it's
Speaker 1: still I don't know, a million dollars, they're just there's
Speaker 1: just something so smart about it and so comforting and
Speaker 1: so it's not pretentious. It's not pretentious. Yes, I agree,
Speaker 1: it's warm, it's it's a it's a it's it's an
Speaker 1: interesting combination of things that she brings with her. That's
Speaker 1: her too. I mean people can't see, but her like
Speaker 1: facial expressions are so comforting and she's so this just
Speaker 1: kind enter. Yes, she's very soothing and healing and that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Um. Anyway, we're gonna go into this
Speaker 1: episode a little bit, aren't we. Huh? Yes? Do we
Speaker 1: take a break and then come back and really start
Speaker 1: going off? I think I don't need a break, but
Speaker 1: if you need a break, uh, because I know one
Speaker 1: of your yachts is listing in the dock and you've
Speaker 1: got to call. You need to call Germany and get
Speaker 1: that take care of. All Right, We're gonna take a break, everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these words. Yeah, Okay, we're back.
Speaker 1: How did the call with Germany go? The yacht is okay?
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it? Properly? More? Everything's good? Okay, good?
Speaker 1: Everything that's good? So did you There's a lot of
Speaker 1: celebrity spottings in this episode. Nicole Eggart, she she's in
Speaker 1: the episode. Yeah, she is, one of the Booster Moms
Speaker 1: with Brenda and Madeline Ziema. She is the little friend
Speaker 1: of Rory's that has the book at the end. Oh sure, sure,
Speaker 1: sure she was an ex puff. She was. She was
Speaker 1: in the like pick to be a puff. Oh she
Speaker 1: was one of those, right, she wasn't a puff, she
Speaker 1: was being puffed right, Yeah, and then she went on
Speaker 1: to do her I loved her on Californication and she's
Speaker 1: done a bazillion show. So those were a couple of
Speaker 1: good spottings in there. Yeah. Um, So let's talk about
Speaker 1: this episode a little bit. Uh um. I mean it's
Speaker 1: an interesting setup, right, I really wanted the Rory puffed,
Speaker 1: getting puffed and getting in that group to be an
Speaker 1: episode of its own. I just I'm watching the episode.
Speaker 1: I'm I want I latched onto that. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to see where this goes. This is interesting.
Speaker 1: Here's my question to you, though, Amy Danielle, please chime
Speaker 1: in the thing that that that I don't get and
Speaker 1: this just maybe chalked this up to seventeen year old knife. Hey,
Speaker 1: what in the world is Rory doing helping Paris on
Speaker 1: any level get into a club that if Paris does
Speaker 1: get in is just gonna use it as a cudgel
Speaker 1: against U. Why is she helping? It's like she's so smart,
Speaker 1: she's such an old soul, as Brenda said, she is
Speaker 1: just as real as it gets. Why all of a
Speaker 1: sudden is she helping Paris? Why is she is? She?
Speaker 1: Is she that compassed it a soul? Daniel? You you
Speaker 1: go first? I have a thought, but you go first.
Speaker 1: I think she just recognizes that she wants it so bad.
Speaker 1: So she's just like if I mean, She's like, I
Speaker 1: don't care about this, but if this girl cares really bad,
Speaker 1: I guess I'll help her. Like I think it's just
Speaker 1: one of those things that she's just feels kind of
Speaker 1: bad and it's like if I can help, I'll help.
Speaker 1: But she's already been burned by her once twice. Now
Speaker 1: this is like third or fourth time she's going to
Speaker 1: trust her again? So nice. I think that Rory has
Speaker 1: so much confidence in herself and it's so nice and
Speaker 1: sees that Paris is just this like hungry, desperate girl,
Speaker 1: and she's like, you know what, I'm so cool that
Speaker 1: I'm just going to help this girl. And I think
Speaker 1: ultimately she's like, you know it's gonna be easier for
Speaker 1: me if I'm friends with this girl. She's it's not
Speaker 1: possible to be friends with her. She's a lunatic, she's certifiable.
Speaker 1: She can't be friends with that. No matter what you do,
Speaker 1: you cannot be friends with that. So obvious. I think
Speaker 1: deep down she isn't mean, she just is so wanting.
Speaker 1: I think I think no, I think deep down she
Speaker 1: is extraordinary. I think she's far more evil, deep down
Speaker 1: than we realize. Really, I don't agree, because you just
Speaker 1: see it. When you can be you can be both.
Speaker 1: You know, she's she can be vulnerable and sweet, and
Speaker 1: there's that side of her. I mean, it depends on
Speaker 1: which how life comes at you, that develops. But don't
Speaker 1: you see it that Rory has the mom that told
Speaker 1: her you're getting kidnapped. Put on these cute pajamas, put
Speaker 1: on some lip gloss so that you look perfect. The
Speaker 1: money's on the table. Harris doesn't barely have a mom.
Speaker 1: She has like the nanny. She looks like Hell. I
Speaker 1: guess it's got the bad nightgown and the great knowing,
Speaker 1: knowing all this. Why are you trusting this girl? Why
Speaker 1: are you talking her up to the puffs. She maybe
Speaker 1: she just didn't realize at the well, no, I mean,
Speaker 1: Paris let her know how powerful the puffs were and
Speaker 1: how exclusive was. Maybe Roy just didn't realize the extent
Speaker 1: of it, and it was like it was like, throw
Speaker 1: this girl a bone like that she's going to use
Speaker 1: against her. God, crush your skull with that bone. Didn't
Speaker 1: you see how much it meant to Paris. I don't care.
Speaker 1: She's she's not She's not redeemable in my book. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: that's so funny. I disagree. I feel like I feel
Speaker 1: like this one the fans might disagree to. I might
Speaker 1: be on your side. It's happened before. I feel like,
Speaker 1: what's I mean? You gotta you gotta love Paris. You're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, She's so sad. See, this is the
Speaker 1: one time that I is Luke would sit down with
Speaker 1: Rory and say, now, you can't do that. You can't
Speaker 1: give your enemies any kind of ammunition to use against you.
Speaker 1: And this is the ultimate form of AMMO getting her
Speaker 1: into a powerful club, only to have Paris out Rory
Speaker 1: from that club. And it's just a higher purchase destroyer
Speaker 1: from I don't maybe where's Where's this didn't Laurel I
Speaker 1: teach her any self preservation skills or any kind of
Speaker 1: strategic skills. I mean, it's a chess game. But keep
Speaker 1: your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Let's stick talk
Speaker 1: to California. Go talk to that gay. Okay, can we
Speaker 1: talk about But he's so good, he's going on for Paris.
Speaker 1: I mean, are you kidding me? She needs Yeah, she
Speaker 1: needs a little talking to by somebody. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can't just do that. I don't agree. I think Rory's
Speaker 1: playing Paris perfectly, very risky. See, she's such a loner
Speaker 1: that she doesn't care. It does It doesn't have any
Speaker 1: power over She doesn't recognize if you don't recognize somebody's
Speaker 1: power over you, if you're not playing those games, if
Speaker 1: you don't see the consequences, because you don't believe that
Speaker 1: those consequences have any meaning for you, and how what
Speaker 1: you're the path that you're on, then I can see it.
Speaker 1: That's you know, that's how you can advocate for somebody
Speaker 1: like that and really not care. So maybe that's the case.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think each of these things she's
Speaker 1: winning Paris over, and I think this meant a lot
Speaker 1: to Paris, Well, that was everything. Yeah, I mean Paris's
Speaker 1: face was just like I can't believe I'm sitting here,
Speaker 1: and she mouthed thank you, or like, I can't believe
Speaker 1: you did this. She mouthed that to or like. But
Speaker 1: that was a great That was a great take when
Speaker 1: for the first time she was sitting with the Puff
Speaker 1: didn't know who they were in, Paris walked by, look
Speaker 1: and then backed up. That was good. That was classic.
Speaker 1: That was classic. So I'm going to admit something to
Speaker 1: you guys again and I'm only doing it. I debated
Speaker 1: this last night when I was like preparing for the
Speaker 1: show if I was going to lie about this, But again,
Speaker 1: I think it's important. Whoever is writing this once again
Speaker 1: is accurate because in my high school we had a
Speaker 1: sorority just like the Puffs in high school. Yes, the
Speaker 1: only part I can't remember. And I actually texted a
Speaker 1: friend is I couldn't remember how we got in and
Speaker 1: my friend wrote back tapped and I'm like, what does
Speaker 1: that mean? So we have the same thing and the
Speaker 1: seniors picked the juniors or something like that. So I
Speaker 1: think you were in it when you were a junior
Speaker 1: and a senior and maybe you got tapped. That means
Speaker 1: I am dead. It wasn't called the puffs ares not
Speaker 1: a different name to get into ours? Wait you that
Speaker 1: was in high school? Was that why you were streaking?
Speaker 1: You admitted you you streaked. We streaked a school all assembly.
Speaker 1: We had a street in front of the whole school
Speaker 1: school in order to get in. And there was a
Speaker 1: secret fraternity. Was I just not cool enough because I
Speaker 1: have no recollection of this. Yeah, we had a secret sorority.
Speaker 1: So you guys had a secret fraternity in high school street.
Speaker 1: Did you get busted? I can't remember. Oh yeah, you
Speaker 1: got away with it? Or you got busted? No, no no,
Speaker 1: we got we got yeah, we got trouble. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: were like you all got caught and you're all naked
Speaker 1: or well, well, we ran across the football field. We
Speaker 1: gained access through the woods. There was a hole in
Speaker 1: the fence that boarded the football field. We ran across
Speaker 1: the football field. We jumped at gate. That's where we
Speaker 1: took our clothes off, and then we ran up. We
Speaker 1: went up the outside stairs of the auditorium where they
Speaker 1: where they where they had thetorium was an elevated stage
Speaker 1: and we somebody had Jimmy the door and we ran
Speaker 1: across the stage and that was like your initiation. That
Speaker 1: was the initiation. And we turned around, we ran back,
Speaker 1: We jumped over the fence again. We got our we
Speaker 1: got our clothes on. We ran across the football field
Speaker 1: and we went we went towards the pond, and by
Speaker 1: the time we got out to the street, there were
Speaker 1: We did not have to do something like that. Apparently
Speaker 1: we were tapped, which I don't know what that means,
Speaker 1: but I think we just were like picked and there
Speaker 1: was like thirty girls that were juniors, and they got
Speaker 1: to pick thirty sophomores, and then you were in when
Speaker 1: you were a junior senior. That's kind of all I remember.
Speaker 1: We didn't have to sneak into the school. There was
Speaker 1: no bell ringing. Kidnapping does seem I have like a
Speaker 1: weird recollection, like did that happen? I just can't remember.
Speaker 1: Interesting microcosm for life though, and especially college and especially Harvard.
Speaker 1: He had better get used to that kind of a thing.
Speaker 1: And it really, gosh, it really just delineates between you know,
Speaker 1: the loner mentality versus the joiner, right, and and how
Speaker 1: important that is and and I so loved. My favorite
Speaker 1: scene in the whole thing was Roy stood in the
Speaker 1: pajamas and was just nailing um uh, the Headmaster. You
Speaker 1: wanted me to be a joiner, I did it. And
Speaker 1: now you're sitting here giving me a lecture about what
Speaker 1: kind of trouble I'm gonna get into. I mean, are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? And he just backed down. I love
Speaker 1: that scene. She was good. She has such a good
Speaker 1: head on her shoulders, and she is so geared for
Speaker 1: success at such an early age that I don't know
Speaker 1: how it all went wrong? Well, and what about the
Speaker 1: parallel although different because when Lord La goes in to
Speaker 1: see Headmaster Charles, he's like, you don't You're not involved.
Speaker 1: You need to be involved. But she had a different
Speaker 1: experience in that I think she sort of enjoyed it,
Speaker 1: and she was so successful at what she did, and
Speaker 1: it bonded Emily and Laura. I mean to me that
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard at em doing her fashion modeling,
Speaker 1: and I laughed. I watched that episode twice because I
Speaker 1: love it so much. And then Laurel I looking at
Speaker 1: her mom like, what in the hell are you doing? Okay,
Speaker 1: But it spawned the most poignant line of the whole
Speaker 1: episode when when Emily was so pleased and she says, interesting,
Speaker 1: how you're fitting into a world that you ran away from.
Speaker 1: I mean, just wow wow. Um. And it's true. You
Speaker 1: do have to get involved. You have to get parents
Speaker 1: have to get involved in their kids school. It's just
Speaker 1: it has to be done. Um. And if you don't
Speaker 1: do it, it's going to affect your kid in there
Speaker 1: a percent, right about that, because you know, we're very
Speaker 1: involved in our kids school. We have to be. We're
Speaker 1: a little too involved. Well, I do see a turkey
Speaker 1: drawing behind you. That's my that's my guy. That's my guy.
Speaker 1: No parents do. It's true. And then it's that fine
Speaker 1: line of like being that weird, freaky parent that's too involved,
Speaker 1: or the lower lie that it wasn't doing anything. It's
Speaker 1: that weird dance of yeah my mission. Yeah. They portray
Speaker 1: this Stuffs super accurate, even though it seems high falutin.
Speaker 1: It's like it's not. And I really you know, I
Speaker 1: love those girls. I love the Puffs. That's the I
Speaker 1: want to see that movie, The Puffs. I love the Puffs.
Speaker 1: I mean that to keep up that level of dialogue
Speaker 1: and snobbery, that's a film I want to see. I
Speaker 1: want to see that. And yes, the ping ponging at
Speaker 1: that table. I mean, I love when the girls like,
Speaker 1: don't name is Lem And then she says to Rory
Speaker 1: like interesting name and Rory's like, well, m can I say?
Speaker 1: It's just like Rory is so like, I'm I don't
Speaker 1: even care about you, fools, I'm not trying to impress you.
Speaker 1: What can I say? Right? Um? Yeah? Very interesting episode,
Speaker 1: very interesting? Um what else can we on earthen this? Yeah? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean Luke. I think there's some real important stuff
Speaker 1: here for Luke, because one is he comes with his
Speaker 1: toolbox Burt to save the day when the you know,
Speaker 1: runway is tilting, and I love that she says toolbox
Speaker 1: dirty or whatever. Some there was some real quick line.
Speaker 1: Why why is that line there? Why is she saying
Speaker 1: how she Why is she saying this? You don't like
Speaker 1: that line but I do. I love it? But why
Speaker 1: is she saying it is okay? But why is the
Speaker 1: Why is the character saying this to him? She's supposed
Speaker 1: to not really be aware, according to my premise that
Speaker 1: she has feelings for him. Why is she even saying
Speaker 1: that to him? Because it's so like second nature to
Speaker 1: her because she has has feelings. She's so utterly lost
Speaker 1: patience with this guy, Like, get off the pot and
Speaker 1: ask me out, pal, what's going on? Is that? What
Speaker 1: it is? No? I don't think so. I think so
Speaker 1: why the florty florty? Oh dirty? You know what is that?
Speaker 1: Because you're like so cute and she likes like Luke
Speaker 1: is a total babe, and so she's completely objectifying the guy. No,
Speaker 1: she just likes you, but she's just not ready to
Speaker 1: like go there yet. You don't have any relationships. Well
Speaker 1: you're like a married guy now. But like so, there
Speaker 1: are no other qualities that she covets about this character
Speaker 1: other than you think he's cute. Everything about the end okay,
Speaker 1: the loyalty, the friendship, suffering inside the guy she calls
Speaker 1: for everything. Can you help me fix the runway? My
Speaker 1: father's in the hospital. I need you, I need you
Speaker 1: for this, I need you for this. Wants to help
Speaker 1: you with Jess. Interesting Jess wasn't in this episode. But
Speaker 1: how does a woman like that thinks that she can
Speaker 1: even have a relationship with a guy like that? They
Speaker 1: like they describe him in the beginning, is Mr Manos
Speaker 1: Alabas positive. You think that's a positive. I mean, she's
Speaker 1: the most verbal human being in the world, and here
Speaker 1: I'm like, Luke, No, he's not. Yes. Look at the
Speaker 1: scene at the end. He this is why she loves it,
Speaker 1: because because he can spar with her when he wants to,
Speaker 1: and he pushes back. He doesn't just go like we
Speaker 1: talked about in the beginning of this episode. He doesn't say,
Speaker 1: don't worry Lorala, like I'm not going out with her.
Speaker 1: He lets her spin and pushes back like the nerve
Speaker 1: of you to tell me who I can and can't date,
Speaker 1: and doesn't whole think knowing full well he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to date Eva, he wants Lorela. It's genius and it's
Speaker 1: so real. I think these two piss each other off
Speaker 1: in a way that love each other. But that's the love, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't get piste off unless you have
Speaker 1: these deep feelings for somebody, you know what. They love
Speaker 1: each other. In my opinion, they are completely who they
Speaker 1: are with each other. They let they let they let
Speaker 1: each other be who they really are. Yet they would
Speaker 1: never be that vulnerable to say I really don't think
Speaker 1: you should date this children mom with anybody else she
Speaker 1: has to say, like, you know, I just think I
Speaker 1: don't want to mix this with that, when you know
Speaker 1: she's just she's not being totally raw and saying like
Speaker 1: I'm going to be so jealous if you date her,
Speaker 1: but she's still doing the thing to say, I really
Speaker 1: don't think you should. So they're both confused as to
Speaker 1: whether their friends or boyfriend and girlfriend like they It's
Speaker 1: like there there's two lanes that they travel and they
Speaker 1: sometimes they one is in the boyfriend girlfriend lane, the
Speaker 1: other ones in the friendship lane, and there's a tench
Speaker 1: right confused normal. I think most married, successful married couples
Speaker 1: often start out this way, Danielle, did you and your
Speaker 1: husband John, who I believe we're friends before you got married,
Speaker 1: do this? Yes? And my husband John was very much
Speaker 1: luke in this relationship where he had a crush on
Speaker 1: me for a little while and then finally figured it out.
Speaker 1: How did you go from friends to next level? Well,
Speaker 1: this is just t m I whatever. He told me
Speaker 1: he really liked me, and then I said, I'm so sorry,
Speaker 1: you're just like my best friend. I don't want to
Speaker 1: cross that that line. And then we were at a
Speaker 1: club and some girl was flirting with him and I
Speaker 1: and then it was it was out of a movie,
Speaker 1: you guys, It was out of this episode of Guilt.
Speaker 1: I really went into them on the dance floor, went
Speaker 1: like this, turn to John and was like yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I like you can we go on a date
Speaker 1: and and then yeah, and now we're married. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: from this episode, because Eva is the girl that you
Speaker 1: saw flirting with your husband. Totally totally, I mean, how
Speaker 1: how epic is the line when Laurel I says he's
Speaker 1: talking to Luke about even he's all she goes. She
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier that you don't make her, you know, gag
Speaker 1: this one. This cred a whole scene, make her Mrs
Speaker 1: Backwards baseball cap. I mean that whole scene. God, I
Speaker 1: think I'm getting to the point where I want to
Speaker 1: smack both of them and just oh that's so funny together.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get together. No, I'm ready to keep it.
Speaker 1: This is where the fans were losing their minds because
Speaker 1: it's like it's enough already get together, and they still
Speaker 1: have to We still have to wait a couple more
Speaker 1: seasons for this to happen. Right, good good? I could
Speaker 1: watch this. I could watch that talk about milk and
Speaker 1: that can Mrs Backward Baseball Chap. I mean, it's that's
Speaker 1: a lot of milk coming out of this cow. I
Speaker 1: tell you they're milking that. Um. I love that Emily
Speaker 1: Gilmore had a barbecue and those two go right for
Speaker 1: the corn on the stick and are just like sitting
Speaker 1: outside ready to just be stoked on their barbecue. It's
Speaker 1: so good funny. And notice notice the wardrobe and now
Speaker 1: that we're like all wardrobe Emily's wardrobe in that scene
Speaker 1: with that caller on our shirt, totally very queen should
Speaker 1: we act queenly? Very queenly? I feel like we have
Speaker 1: to add something moving forward now our favorite fashion piece
Speaker 1: of the episode, because hands down mine was gloralized blue
Speaker 1: button down blouse. I even think I remember watching this
Speaker 1: and twenty years ago trying to find this bloss and
Speaker 1: it had like roughly sort of tuxedo e ish, kind
Speaker 1: of seventies tuxedo e ish going down here and then
Speaker 1: on the sleeves the cuff also had the ruffles and
Speaker 1: it was light blue and button down with like pearl buttons.
Speaker 1: In this episode, yes, I am obsessed with that shirt
Speaker 1: she was wearing obsessed. Yes, everybody moving forward. You have
Speaker 1: to pick your favorite fashion. No, for me, it's Emily's
Speaker 1: white shirt with the that flared out collar because that's her.
Speaker 1: That that was you know that that harkens back to
Speaker 1: you know, Scottish and British queens, that kind of look. Um, Danielle,
Speaker 1: did you have a favorite, I'll say Rory's cake pajamas,
Speaker 1: the Nick and Nora Nick and Nora pjs. Those were big.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're still around. I want to that up.
Speaker 1: Keep talking while I find out. And how many moons ago, Danielle,
Speaker 1: was this this event that took place with your husband
Speaker 1: on the dance floor with her? We've been together ten years?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, ten years ago a long time ago. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When we all realize we're just doing parts of episodes
Speaker 1: of Gilmore Girls, we're all just living and somebody's taking notes,
Speaker 1: it's not as easy to find Nick and Nora pajamas
Speaker 1: as it used to be. Should we do a little
Speaker 1: pop culture? Although I know it's going to be sad
Speaker 1: for everybody because Danielle's filling it. Let's do everyone, No,
Speaker 1: no, no no, your best shot. I'm gonna give it my
Speaker 1: best shot. Don't write a bad review about me, Just
Speaker 1: just don't. Don't try to look. Let me give you
Speaker 1: some advice here, let me give you some advice. Don't
Speaker 1: try to fill Riley's shoes. Just wear your own. Just
Speaker 1: wear your own shoes as long as some of you,
Speaker 1: As long as you wear in your shoes, you're good.
Speaker 1: Put in my own by all means, feel free to
Speaker 1: write a review of Danielle's because I get so much joy. People.
Speaker 1: I am reading all the Instagram comments and I read
Speaker 1: all the reviews. I love all of it, especially when
Speaker 1: you're like I hate Amy. Okay, here we go. This
Speaker 1: is Danielle. Wait, hold on, noe, Hi, No, how does
Speaker 1: Riley start it? I'm Danielle st Riley. Hi, I'm Riley.
Speaker 1: She doesn't say she's day Okay, no, but Hi, I'm
Speaker 1: Danielle filling in for Riley. And this is your pop culture. Okay.
Speaker 1: Laura Lee says maybe he has a secret, maybe he's
Speaker 1: got a little chippy stowed away in Mount Pilot. And
Speaker 1: this is when Loraa Lee talks about Luke to Rory
Speaker 1: in the diner. That's gotta be that's gotta be. Andy
Speaker 1: Griffith show yep, I'm looking for I didn't even look,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Mount Pilot is a fictional town
Speaker 1: in The Andy Griffith Show. The Andy Griffith Show ran
Speaker 1: on CBS from nineteen sixty eight. During the time of
Speaker 1: the show, Andy has visited three times by the fun
Speaker 1: Girls Skippy and Daphne. Each time they cause trouble. It
Speaker 1: seems they are who Lorela is referencing to a little
Speaker 1: bit of trivia. Ron Howard, who later became so wellknown
Speaker 1: for being Richie Cunningham, played Andy Griffith's son on the show,
Speaker 1: and his character's name was Opie. A little chippy is
Speaker 1: not the most appropriate thing to say, so I'll just
Speaker 1: put that out there. Who means it means a promiscuous woman,
Speaker 1: little chippy? Huh? Who said? Who said that about? It's
Speaker 1: that's what she says. She says, I think he's got
Speaker 1: a little chippy in Mount Pilot? Is it Mount Pilot?
Speaker 1: But that's what? So what It's okay, it's Laurela saying it.
Speaker 1: I know it's a little unappropriate. I don't know speaking
Speaker 1: of a chippy. Mry says, suddenly, I'm living with Jaja
Speaker 1: Gabor when a chippy kind of half chippy half chippy.
Speaker 1: And this is when Laurela goes on about the batteries
Speaker 1: and um, what she wouldn't do with them? So jo
Speaker 1: jabar boys. Pause, Scott, let me tell you this. Danielle
Speaker 1: and I had to practice saying with nine times what
Speaker 1: at first daniel called her za yea. She was very
Speaker 1: comark practice. She was extremely famous in the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 1: She was she was. She was a twin sister. There
Speaker 1: was Joja and there was Eva, Hungarian bombshell sisters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were hello, darling, they were on they were on
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, they were on green acre. She was
Speaker 1: on green acres. So that's what I was. That's what
Speaker 1: I was trying to remember. I'm looking that up. She married,
Speaker 1: it was Ava, married a farmer and she lived on
Speaker 1: a farm. But she was like, you know, miss she
Speaker 1: was fancy. She was fancy, Miss lux of the world.
Speaker 1: Eddie Albert and it was Ava, not who was on
Speaker 1: green acre, but yes, I knew it. Eddie Albert gave
Speaker 1: one of the best dramatic dramatic comedy drama performances in
Speaker 1: the Charles Groden's Civil Shepherd film called The Name Escapes Me.
Speaker 1: But they did a remake of it. Only Charles Groden
Speaker 1: film I can name. Is that one about the dog? No? No,
Speaker 1: no, no no no. There was a movie where Charles Groden,
Speaker 1: and we're getting off the subject here, but there's a
Speaker 1: movie where Charles Groden gotten married, read to a woman
Speaker 1: in New York City, went on her went on their
Speaker 1: honeymoon to Florida, right to Miami, and he met an
Speaker 1: eighteen year old Sybil Shepherd. Are you talking about Beethoven? No, no,
Speaker 1: you're talking about Beetho. What's what's the movie? I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: What's the name? Find the movie? I am talking about Beethoven.
Speaker 1: I think Charles Grodan died, so r I p God
Speaker 1: rest his soul. But Beethoven? What was what was the film?
Speaker 1: It was a Mike nick It was a Mike Nichols film. Brilliant.
Speaker 1: The Heartbreak Kids, The Heartbreak Kid, the original version of
Speaker 1: the heart The original film is so searingly painful and funny.
Speaker 1: And Eddie Albert played Cibil Shepherd's father from Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: the scene of them sitting at the dinner table, Eddie
Speaker 1: Albert questioning who this man was the wife, He goes, sir,
Speaker 1: sir know I met your daughter on the beach and
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I I became quite enamored. And
Speaker 1: uh and you know, I've just gotten married and my
Speaker 1: wife are down here on our honeymoon, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to break up with my wife because I fell in
Speaker 1: love with your daughter and he's just Eddie. Albert just
Speaker 1: looks at her like, what did you just say, young man?
Speaker 1: What did you It's going to kill him at the
Speaker 1: dinner table. Eddie was a very fine actor anyway, he
Speaker 1: was the star of Green Acres with telling us about
Speaker 1: that's never going to make the final and I won't
Speaker 1: make it. I just have a feeling he's not gonna
Speaker 1: make it because I think at the end of that
Speaker 1: story is like the fingers were going down the side
Speaker 1: of the cliff and we're keeping it all So Amy
Speaker 1: and I were doing research about this. We were we
Speaker 1: were Amy had said, she's kind of like the Paris
Speaker 1: Hilton of that time, but more but then yeah, okay, right,
Speaker 1: maybe a little, but then wait for it. And what
Speaker 1: we found out that Jojo was married to Conrad Hilton
Speaker 1: and he had changed her name to Georgia, claiming he
Speaker 1: couldn't and wouldn't pronounce her Hungarian first name, So was
Speaker 1: Conrad Hilton, Paris's grandfather, grandfather who started the whole Hilton franchise.
Speaker 1: So weird um trivia there? Okay, next one, Lorelai says, yeah,
Speaker 1: look that Albert. Give me a soda. And this is
Speaker 1: when Rory comes into the kitchen asking what happened with
Speaker 1: the headmaster. Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids is an
Speaker 1: American animated television series created, produced, and hosted by Bill Cosby,
Speaker 1: who also lent his voice to a number of characters,
Speaker 1: including Fat Albert. In two thousand four. Keenan Thompson played
Speaker 1: Fat Albert in that film, and fun fact, Denise Richards
Speaker 1: filmed a cameo as a store stale saleswoman and was
Speaker 1: seen in the original trailer, but her scene was actually
Speaker 1: deleted from the final cut. Do you know do you
Speaker 1: know the fat Albert, the famous fat Albert Lyne? Can
Speaker 1: you can you do fat Albert? Can you do? Every
Speaker 1: used to this? Right? Wow? I mean you know we're
Speaker 1: dropping some names here today, aren't we. I got some
Speaker 1: more names for you. So this is when Rory is
Speaker 1: chatting with the Puffs at lunch. Rory says, Sandra Day
Speaker 1: O'Connor was a puff and Francy goes, well, no, well,
Speaker 1: no one has proof. It's just folklore. Ivy then says,
Speaker 1: like snow White and Rosie Red and Rory goes or
Speaker 1: Maria carries crack up um so Sandrady O'Connor. We don't
Speaker 1: consider pop culture because she was a historical figure, but
Speaker 1: we will talk about snow White. Mri carry snow White
Speaker 1: and Rosy Red is a German fairy tale. The snow
Speaker 1: White in the original story is not the same character
Speaker 1: as the one in snow White in the Seven Dwarves.
Speaker 1: Mary Carey, I think everyone who's who she is, um,
Speaker 1: but the reference could be referencing her breakdown on Total
Speaker 1: Request Live back in two thousand one, and you are
Speaker 1: about to hear her iconic song All I Want for
Speaker 1: Christmas is you for the rest of December. Get ready.
Speaker 1: You can't get away from it. It's like you can't
Speaker 1: get away from that song or Kevin Hart. You just
Speaker 1: every time you turn around, there's Kevin Hart you can't
Speaker 1: get away from. I often ask myself, how is that
Speaker 1: guy doing so many things like he is? He's got
Speaker 1: to be three of them, right, totally, totally next one.
Speaker 1: Rory goes, I'll tell you she's a regular, Gary mule Deer,
Speaker 1: and this is when Rory tells the Puffs all about
Speaker 1: paris Um so. Gary mule Deer is an American comedian
Speaker 1: and country musician. Mule Deer was once roommates with comedian
Speaker 1: Steve Martin and musician Michael Johnson. He has performed on
Speaker 1: three major concert stage in the country. Rory goes, I
Speaker 1: end up here with the yah Ya Sisterhood, and Rory
Speaker 1: is telling head Master why she was in this situation
Speaker 1: she was in with the puffs Um. Divine Secrets of
Speaker 1: the Yaya Sisterhood is novel written by Rebecca Wells that
Speaker 1: the two thousand two film stars Sandra Bull like Ellen
Speaker 1: Burston and James Gardner, and The Divine Secrets of the
Speaker 1: Yaya Sisterhood has been compared to Desperate Housewives, which circles
Speaker 1: back nicely to our guest today, Brenda. Rory goes, great movie.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that was coming home, sorry, And this is
Speaker 1: when the posts we're getting to know Rory Coming Home
Speaker 1: is in seventy eight American romantic drama war film, the
Speaker 1: opening scene where the vets in the hospital are talking
Speaker 1: was actually unscripted. They were real Viet Nom that's discussing
Speaker 1: their own views about the rule the war. John Voight
Speaker 1: was supposed to have added to the dialogue out of respect,
Speaker 1: he stayed silent and listened. Um. Next one, Uh, this
Speaker 1: is with Lora Lae. She says. I told him that
Speaker 1: he was completely out of line with this treatment of you,
Speaker 1: that you are not alone of freak. You have plenty
Speaker 1: of friends, and you don't own a long black leather
Speaker 1: matrix coat. And as everyone knows, Um The Matrix is
Speaker 1: an iconic action film from Kim Barrett is an Australian
Speaker 1: costume designer and she was a regular collaborator with the
Speaker 1: Wowskis and was a costume designer for the Matrix films.
Speaker 1: Kiana Reeves was dressed in tight fitting clothing to make
Speaker 1: him feel more confined in everyday life. Um and Kiana Reeves,
Speaker 1: Joe Pantoliano and Laurence Fishburne are weirdly all left handed
Speaker 1: and last one in fact about The Matrix. Leonardo DiCaprio
Speaker 1: turned down the role and David Swimmer was also a
Speaker 1: front runner for the role of Neo. Did you tell
Speaker 1: the part that Kiana Reeves gave of, like everyone a
Speaker 1: million dollars. More than that, he gave away so many.
Speaker 1: He gave away million dollars to the crew. I love
Speaker 1: Kiana Reeves so much. Oh my god, Speed is like
Speaker 1: my one of my top five ever movies. And Leonardo
Speaker 1: DiCaprio gets offered everything first, and he was actually in
Speaker 1: this episode two. There was a shout out to Leonardo
Speaker 1: DiCaprio in um this episode. Can you imagine all the
Speaker 1: films that he's offered, And he has to say no
Speaker 1: to Danielle your no, Riley, But you're not terrible. I'm
Speaker 1: not bad. I'm telling you, man, She's terrible. Got a
Speaker 1: little boring there at one point I forget which one
Speaker 1: where I was like, this is boring. But otherwise, good job,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna let me go faster. Rory says, there's
Speaker 1: a bad draft over here where I used They say,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a big downward gusts. It's not
Speaker 1: exactly Toto. We're not in Kansas anymore, obviously, Toto. She's
Speaker 1: referencing the dog in the Wizard of oz Um. Toto
Speaker 1: was a dog named was a dog named Terry, and
Speaker 1: Terry was a Terrier weird fun fact, Terry the Terrier
Speaker 1: earned a hundred and twenty five dollars a week on
Speaker 1: the set of Wizard of Oz, compared to Judy Garland,
Speaker 1: who made five. It was pretty well paid back then.
Speaker 1: But if I was getting paid five dollars and the
Speaker 1: dog was getting paid one likes, the dog was getting
Speaker 1: well paid. Twenty five a week was like in today's money,
Speaker 1: that's like five six seven thousand bucks a week. I know.
Speaker 1: That's what guys huge. That's why the dog was paid
Speaker 1: well huge. Judy Garland maybe not so much. Yes, I
Speaker 1: would be kind of upset if I was. Judy terrifies
Speaker 1: me still. The Wicked Witch of the West, the Green
Speaker 1: One when I was a kid, that gave me nightmares too.
Speaker 1: So that's one of my first memories of like having it.
Speaker 1: That's my first movie of like being afraid. The guy
Speaker 1: could not look that in the Incredible Whole, anything in
Speaker 1: Green was real. It was that. And to Kill a
Speaker 1: Mockingbird Robert Duval that scared you scared, grab out of
Speaker 1: the whole. Okay, two more guys with it? Luke says,
Speaker 1: where's Barry manilow Um. Barry wrote the like a good
Speaker 1: neighbor State Farm jingle. I don't know if anybody knows that,
Speaker 1: but if you don't know, you do. Um. He receive
Speaker 1: multiple Grammy nominations, but Copacabana earned him his only Grammy
Speaker 1: award in nineteen seventy nine. Um. Weirdly, this past summer,
Speaker 1: Gary performed at CNN and White Or New York City
Speaker 1: Homecoming concert. He was about to sing, I made it
Speaker 1: through the rain, and it started to rain, and it
Speaker 1: literally ancel of the concerts. The behind the scenes that
Speaker 1: day of that concert was better than the concert because they,
Speaker 1: like just CNN just started like face timing Anderson Cooper
Speaker 1: in the studio from like dressing rooms. It was so good. Okay.
Speaker 1: Last one, Paris says, maybe someday I'll stumble into a
Speaker 1: Disney movie and suddenly be transported into your body. Obviously
Speaker 1: she's talking about Freaky Friday. Uh. Freaky Friday is in
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies six fantasy comedy film starring Jodie Foster. Um.
Speaker 1: Freaky Friday was made in two thousand three with Jamie
Speaker 1: Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. Um. There's this one scene
Speaker 1: where they're auditioning to be part of a concert. And
Speaker 1: you um might have missed this because I missed it,
Speaker 1: and Amy reminded me it was to be a part
Speaker 1: of iHeart Radio's iconic Wingo Tango concert. So bringing it
Speaker 1: back to the iHeart Radio family. Really fun fact um there.
Speaker 1: And then last fun fact for Freaky Friday. When Jamie
Speaker 1: Lee Curtis found out that Lindsay Lohan um was going
Speaker 1: to be playing her daughter and that she had started
Speaker 1: the parent trap, she asked, which twin did you play,
Speaker 1: not knowing that Lohan performed both. And that's your pop
Speaker 1: culture guys, little along, Danielle, little long. But here's my
Speaker 1: favorite lines. Here's my favorite lines I have with you.
Speaker 1: I told you not to become a socio, but you
Speaker 1: didn't listen. Lord La said that I loved your work
Speaker 1: in Pizza Lora La also said that Lorala also said
Speaker 1: she mentioned earlier that you didn't make her you know, gag.
Speaker 1: Then you two get in the heated fight and she
Speaker 1: says make her mrs Backwards baseball cap for all I care.
Speaker 1: I loved that, And then I love Rory's line of well, um,
Speaker 1: what can you say? I mean this? I could have
Speaker 1: had one favorite, Danielle, go ahead, I had the backwards
Speaker 1: baseball cap one, but I always come prepared with the backup.
Speaker 1: So mine is from Michelle and he says, I'm not
Speaker 1: speaking of Carol. She ate my low fat cheese. Okay,
Speaker 1: mine are I'm gonna say my favorite line this whole
Speaker 1: thing was my line thank you very much. When Laurel
Speaker 1: I says, oh, Luke, can you give us some service?
Speaker 1: He said, keep your pants on? Yes, I made me laugh,
Speaker 1: it did? It made me laugh? Uh? And not to
Speaker 1: find their relationship. My second favorite was Michelle with the
Speaker 1: when they're negotiating on the phone. I'll do it if
Speaker 1: you get me some American cheese. The cheese American cheese. Um,
Speaker 1: what is it a mango cookie or a meringue cookie?
Speaker 1: I don't know. One of those funny lines, look at it.
Speaker 1: I like that. Danielle and I have to write our
Speaker 1: lines down, but Scott, being that he's an actor, can
Speaker 1: do them from his head. Guys listening, I'm telling you
Speaker 1: every single episode you've heard, Scott can remember the line
Speaker 1: and doesn't look at notes, whereas DANIELLEO like rustling paper,
Speaker 1: is going through emails to find our written out A lot.
Speaker 1: It was a little behind the scenes. We called that
Speaker 1: bts daniel maybe if you can, but that was good
Speaker 1: signs completely and it was the most insightful thing she's
Speaker 1: ever said. What I was trying to say is I
Speaker 1: also have to rewind the episode ten dred different times
Speaker 1: just to make sure I got the quote right. Same, same, Danielle.
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, that's gonna that's gonna wrap this episode
Speaker 1: a little along. But Brenda was great, and what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You know when you got her Brenda strong?
Speaker 1: How are you going to top that? And we're sitting
