Speaker 1: I am all in. Oh, just you more. I am
Speaker 1: all in with Scott Pattison and I heart radio podcast.
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, We've got a special bonus episode for you. Uh.
Speaker 1: Some fans have have gotten in touch with us and
Speaker 1: they want they have questions, then I'm going to answer them.
Speaker 1: And we've invited them on and we're very excited to
Speaker 1: meet them and and we can't wait to get to it.
Speaker 1: So let's bring on the group. So first we have
Speaker 1: a Michael and Brandy, Um their husband and wife, and
Speaker 1: they actually used quotes from Gilmore Girls and their vows,
Speaker 1: so we'll bring them in. Here they come. It's Michael
Speaker 1: and Brandy. Hi, welcome to the show. How are you doing? Where?
Speaker 1: Where are you? Salt like? Are you? Are you getting
Speaker 1: ready for skiing? You do? Are you skiers? I'm really
Speaker 1: not a skier skiter, but as long as you're out
Speaker 1: in the cold weather, that's that's all that matters, Right Michael,
Speaker 1: how about you join the snow but not much ski
Speaker 1: in a snowboard? Alright? Alright, alright, I I come out
Speaker 1: to Park City and enjoy those glorious mountains over there.
Speaker 1: Um they are. So, how you guys doing you? You
Speaker 1: you use some Gilmore dialogue in your wedding vowels. From
Speaker 1: what I understand, which which particular pieces of dialogue did
Speaker 1: you use? So I actually used yours in mine, the
Speaker 1: name of your podcasts. Actually, at the end of mine,
Speaker 1: I said, well, like your other favorite man in plaid,
Speaker 1: I am all in. And then she used a little
Speaker 1: bit ahead in the series She's the t J a
Speaker 1: t J reference, um where she looked at me and
Speaker 1: she said, well, you know the great thing about dresses,
Speaker 1: they're all comfortable, but they don't have any pockets. And
Speaker 1: then and then she continue to say, and I love
Speaker 1: you so so romantic. Wow. Well that's great guys. Um,
Speaker 1: so you so what is what is your question nor
Speaker 1: questions that you have for me about season one? Um My,
Speaker 1: I mean I've been listening to your whole podcast and
Speaker 1: I understand you don't like Max, and I get that
Speaker 1: whole aspect, but my whole thing is is that Max
Speaker 1: was there for Laura Lee when she needed him to
Speaker 1: be there for Laura Lee. So they came together because
Speaker 1: that's what she needed at the time, so she could
Speaker 1: see the difference between her old world and her new world.
Speaker 1: And I understand the whole aspect. I have a son,
Speaker 1: so I understand the whole thing of well, if my
Speaker 1: son's teacher came at me, maybe like what is wrong
Speaker 1: with you? Because that's incorrect. But um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I think season one is such a base
Speaker 1: of what Gilmore has come to be. Um, it was
Speaker 1: a huge part of my life before I met him,
Speaker 1: and I got my sister and my mom involved, and
Speaker 1: so we would watch it as a whole. Um, So
Speaker 1: what was your favorite part about doing this whole season?
Speaker 1: And actually, even with you watching it now, what do
Speaker 1: you remember? What's your favorite part reminiscing in season one? Um?
Speaker 1: You know that, and I've said it before. It's always
Speaker 1: gonna be the pilot episode and the first day I
Speaker 1: came to set because the first day I came to set,
Speaker 1: I came a little early, uh, because I was just
Speaker 1: so anxious to get out of the hotel and get
Speaker 1: on the set. And I was you know, I wasn't
Speaker 1: a series regular. I was just a guest star on
Speaker 1: the pilot. So I had a little more you know,
Speaker 1: I just had all this enthusiasm like, Hey, I want
Speaker 1: to be a part of this, and and uh, I
Speaker 1: want to see these two girls in action, because I
Speaker 1: knew that, uh, Lauren and Alexis were doing a scene
Speaker 1: as a diner before Lauren and I did our first scene.
Speaker 1: You know, I need coffee and I said, you're a junkie.
Speaker 1: That kind of scene, that scene. Um, So I wanted
Speaker 1: to see those two work and I did. I got
Speaker 1: there early, and I got on the set. I watched
Speaker 1: them rehearse, and I just remember thinking, God, this is
Speaker 1: the chemistry between those two is so great, and this
Speaker 1: thing's got a real special feel about it. And then
Speaker 1: when I did, you know, I went through hair and
Speaker 1: makeup and the wardrobe and the whole thing, and and
Speaker 1: came on the set and rehearsed. I just got even
Speaker 1: even better feeling working with Lauren and uh when we
Speaker 1: started shooting, And that's really when it hit me that
Speaker 1: that there was something very special here, um, between the
Speaker 1: two of us. And it was just a very easy,
Speaker 1: natural kind of chemistry that you know, we as actors
Speaker 1: hoped for, um and it doesn't always happen. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything other than you know, um, um, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just not the one in a million kind of
Speaker 1: a coupling. And this kind of felt that way. So
Speaker 1: I was it's always going to be the pilot for
Speaker 1: me in that first scene. How was it to see
Speaker 1: I mean because I I we all noticed it's like
Speaker 1: how much the set especially changes as the series develops.
Speaker 1: But that very first pilot episode, especially at like Emily
Speaker 1: and Richard's house, you see, okay, when the house completely
Speaker 1: changes from like episode one to the last episode. Where
Speaker 1: how fun does it to see just the show develop
Speaker 1: and as you watch it develop at being behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: you go, okay, we've got something here. How how fun
Speaker 1: is that as an actor to see that happening? Um, well,
Speaker 1: it's it's thrilling. I mean, it was just thrilling to
Speaker 1: experience something that, um, you know, doesn't happen very often
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, where you get on not only a hit show,
Speaker 1: but a show that you kind of feel is going
Speaker 1: to stand the test of time and it's going to
Speaker 1: be iconic. And you know, it felt that way. It
Speaker 1: felt this could really become a seminal show in the
Speaker 1: history of television. Not that we you know, obsessed about
Speaker 1: it or thought about it and talked about it too much,
Speaker 1: but it was just it was of such quality that
Speaker 1: you know, we thought maybe we had a chance, and
Speaker 1: the fact that it's all come to fruition is all
Speaker 1: the more delightful because you know, especially in getting back
Speaker 1: to how the sets have changed. To come full circle
Speaker 1: around to your question, um, part of your question was
Speaker 1: that the floor and Luke's Diner, to be very specific,
Speaker 1: changed over time. It started out squeaky, it got squeak
Speaker 1: air and that meant we had to redo those lines
Speaker 1: and looping stages, um every single episode. And then when
Speaker 1: Netflix came around, they built they had to rebuild the
Speaker 1: sets because those old Gilmore sets have been torn down
Speaker 1: and other productions were going in their movies or d
Speaker 1: V shows or that, so they had to completely rebuild
Speaker 1: all the sets. And they put in these very spongy
Speaker 1: quiet floors in Luke's Diner. So that was really comfortable, uh,
Speaker 1: and very very quiet. So in fact, you could sit
Speaker 1: down and lie down and you know, you'd be comfortable
Speaker 1: on the floors at Luke's, whereas before you'd be very
Speaker 1: cramped and uncomfortable and squeaky. Well, I mean, I've heard
Speaker 1: I have read different things. I've had the background, um,
Speaker 1: the d ds, the behind the scene and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: How did you ever sit on the really super uncomfortable
Speaker 1: couch at Lower Life House. Ah yeah, many times. And
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, at two o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: that is like wonderfully comfortable bed. It's really soft, and
Speaker 1: you know, you take a load off and you get
Speaker 1: on that thing and you're happy to be there. It's
Speaker 1: it's not uncomfortable to take your little breaks because you're
Speaker 1: standing all the time. Your back starts to hurt. Maybe.
Speaker 1: I mean I was, you know, in my forties, so
Speaker 1: my back started. It's sort of like, Okay, you gotta
Speaker 1: sit down on the couch now. One of the um
Speaker 1: one of the interviews with well Suki Melissam Carthy, she
Speaker 1: said that that couch was it felt like bricks when
Speaker 1: you sat on it. Really. I wonder if it changed different,
Speaker 1: if they were different couch. I always love that couch.
Speaker 1: I love that couch. And whenever we did a scene
Speaker 1: Laura and I did a scene in there and we're
Speaker 1: sitting there watching TV and dinner or whatever. I love
Speaker 1: those scenes because you just sit there. Great, you have
Speaker 1: to move around. You just eat and talk and have
Speaker 1: fun and sit on that couch. Yeah, I know, I
Speaker 1: always loved it. Well, I must say, like we I
Speaker 1: appreciate the show because it's kind of brought us closer
Speaker 1: together when we first started dating. That's kind of what
Speaker 1: she would watch and kind of almost every day, every night,
Speaker 1: kind almost it almost became like a background show, and
Speaker 1: she was going throughout the night and stuff, and then
Speaker 1: I would just I just got hooked, and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is just so quick and so funny, witty, and
Speaker 1: the little one miners and the things that the Palladinos,
Speaker 1: just those little innuendos every now and then that they
Speaker 1: would try to get away with on the U B
Speaker 1: or c W. I was just like, Okay, this show
Speaker 1: pushes the envelope a little. Oh yeah, it was. It's
Speaker 1: funny to me. It's just it was amazing. And that's what.
Speaker 1: It's such a high quality comfort show that people must
Speaker 1: have it on at all times because nothing bad can
Speaker 1: happen on that show. Nothing boring really ever happens on
Speaker 1: that show. It's all, you know, if it's not if
Speaker 1: it's not really dramatic and compelling, it's funny, it's lighthearted,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's everything. But anyway, alright, so guys,
Speaker 1: we have somebody waiting in the wings. Thank you, so
Speaker 1: much for your questions. Maybe I'll run into you out
Speaker 1: there on the ski slope when you get all on
Speaker 1: the ski slopes just waiting for Oh yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: enjoyed meeting you guys, and U uh and thank you
Speaker 1: for your questions. Okay, keep watching, bye guys. Okay, yeah, alright.
Speaker 1: So next up have Felicity and she is a big
Speaker 1: fan and she loves the deep dive into the characters
Speaker 1: and their growth and who they are. So we'll bring
Speaker 1: in Felicity. Hi, that's my sister. Hi, Felicity, And what's
Speaker 1: your sister's name? Hi? Madeline? Where are you guys? Calling
Speaker 1: in from Toronto? Wow? It's getting little Is it getting
Speaker 1: a little chilly up there? Is? It's insane. I walk
Speaker 1: into school with like three layers on and end up stripping.
Speaker 1: Now it's so weird. No, I know, I know. So
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing great? How long have you
Speaker 1: been fans of the show? For me? Six years I
Speaker 1: think and probably like five years? So, so so what
Speaker 1: do you have? What do you have for me? You
Speaker 1: have some questions about the show? Season one? Season one?
Speaker 1: Can I just say thank you for reading my Oh
Speaker 1: you're very welcome. I didn't want it to sound too mean,
Speaker 1: because I wasn't sure whether you thought I was criticizing you,
Speaker 1: which I was, but in a very loving way. I
Speaker 1: mean about the podcast, about the podcast, because Luke, you
Speaker 1: can't really change like that's done, you know, Yeah, I look,
Speaker 1: I I knew I was taking a chance doing this
Speaker 1: because Luke is such an iconic sort of perfect guy. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know I'm a little different. I mean I
Speaker 1: I and and that's getting you know, people are adjusting
Speaker 1: to that. I guess that's all it is. They're just
Speaker 1: they're just sort of adjusting to it. You can't be
Speaker 1: you can't go through your life that tight. You can't
Speaker 1: be Luke. It doesn't work in real life. I mean,
Speaker 1: that guy was so hard to play because he was
Speaker 1: so tight, you know what I mean, he really really was.
Speaker 1: And and that's compelling to watch once in a while
Speaker 1: when he pops on for an hour every week or
Speaker 1: however many times you watch a show, and that's necessary
Speaker 1: and you get all that other color from all the
Speaker 1: other characters. But his color he had to be, you know,
Speaker 1: he had to be those muted sort of earthy tones, right.
Speaker 1: He had to be grounded and earthy and weighty and
Speaker 1: tight all that stuff. You can't live your life that way.
Speaker 1: You can you can you can be you can be
Speaker 1: a great TV character that way. And I'm sure there
Speaker 1: are some people that are that way, but that's not me.
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was an acting gig. Yeah, totally,
Speaker 1: And I just um, I love Luke and he is
Speaker 1: pretty great. It just seems to be that he has
Speaker 1: a character arc, like do you realize that? Like, no,
Speaker 1: because I know you haven't watched it back, right, No,
Speaker 1: watching it back, I feel like you might realize this
Speaker 1: a lot more. But the more I watch it, the
Speaker 1: more I like, the more it becomes clear that in
Speaker 1: season one he gets stronger and stronger and stronger, and
Speaker 1: then he gets with more La and he's become like
Speaker 1: this powerhouse and you love him and you love them.
Speaker 1: And then at one point, I'm not sure if we
Speaker 1: should say it, say it when Vanessa Rano shows up,
Speaker 1: not going to reveal the character, but when Vanessa Rano
Speaker 1: a lovely actress and she's so great and sparks fly
Speaker 1: and great, awesome, But when she shows up, it was
Speaker 1: almost written to be this great character development with Luke,
Speaker 1: and it seemed to be the opposite because the more
Speaker 1: the more he got invested with that relationship, the less
Speaker 1: investity he got in like with the rest, and then
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was off based with himself. Is
Speaker 1: that just me? No? No, no, that she wasn't warmly
Speaker 1: embraced as a character. And I think for the reasons
Speaker 1: that you stated, very very very intelligently. By the way,
Speaker 1: you're very very stute observer um and one heck of
Speaker 1: a TV critic. Boy, you might have a future my
Speaker 1: parents stop you, so obviously great influences. So yeah, she
Speaker 1: was warmly received by the fan base, and I always
Speaker 1: defended her because I thought it gave First of all,
Speaker 1: she was great to work with. She was always prepared,
Speaker 1: she always knew her lines called, she was perfect in rehearsal,
Speaker 1: She was perfect when we were filming. She was you know,
Speaker 1: she'd bring her mom on the set because she was
Speaker 1: young at that time and she had a little sister too,
Speaker 1: and they were just fantastic to hang out with. So
Speaker 1: it was it was just such a a plus positive
Speaker 1: experience with Vanessa Um. And uh, the work was great,
Speaker 1: and I thought it gave Luke some depth and dimension,
Speaker 1: And I mean that's what it felt like at the time,
Speaker 1: I didn't know how it was gonna land in audience Bill,
Speaker 1: and it obviously didn't land well um um, And that's
Speaker 1: you know, and that's not for me to judge. I
Speaker 1: just loved working with her and I loved having her
Speaker 1: add another dimension to Luke, and there was there was
Speaker 1: really no it was. It was the first time and
Speaker 1: maybe the only time that Luke was given a little development,
Speaker 1: you know, in that way. So yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: feel like we're the odd balls out because as much
Speaker 1: as I can, as much as we both criticize these characters,
Speaker 1: we still love to see them on the screen because
Speaker 1: each one has a little piece of that, like a
Speaker 1: little piece of you. Like we were just watching the
Speaker 1: season one finale and um, it was funny. Now I'm
Speaker 1: staring at the screen and she's going but like all
Speaker 1: of them, you drink a million times coffees today and
Speaker 1: you talk really fast like lore Live. But you also
Speaker 1: are so dramatic, and I love that that's what we
Speaker 1: see when we watch it. And I also the show
Speaker 1: is so so well written because Will and I don't
Speaker 1: think a lot of people nowadays understand that because we
Speaker 1: grew up watching a lot of old movies. Hence the
Speaker 1: posters behind it with Carrie Grant. Let me see what
Speaker 1: they are. Hang on if you see, there's Yeah, Audrey Hapburn,
Speaker 1: Carragrat and Sight and then there's real rear Window and
Speaker 1: Jimmie Stewart. And so when we're watching back especially not
Speaker 1: only see Mary and Ross playing are like the first,
Speaker 1: but hear her on your podcast after watching Happy Days.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's fantastic. It's fantastic writing. It's so
Speaker 1: good I know, I know, and it's effortless and breezy
Speaker 1: and free, and it'll go in places that you never
Speaker 1: expected to go to and it's just yeah, it's just fun,
Speaker 1: really fun. Um what else you got for me? Um? Okay? Basically,
Speaker 1: I just I just wanted you to take a step
Speaker 1: back when you watch it, because I see, like you
Speaker 1: look like Luke and you seem to be like regular
Speaker 1: guy A plus you know you're great, but you always
Speaker 1: watch it, and you watch it and as if you're
Speaker 1: like defending the Gilmore Girls before you even know the POC,
Speaker 1: Like guy, who do you think you take it personally?
Speaker 1: Could just be called critic. You're like, well, you go
Speaker 1: on and you're like Dean who he is talking to Lorelai,
Speaker 1: talking to you, but don't but wait a minute, wait
Speaker 1: a wute, wait a minute. I am. I am giving
Speaker 1: a voice, don't you think in a way to the
Speaker 1: fan base, in a nostalgic way, because that was their
Speaker 1: reaction when they first experienced those episodes in the year
Speaker 1: two thousand, right, I mean, how I'm gonna Collectively, they
Speaker 1: probably all gasped when he said to Laurel, I, uh
Speaker 1: was in my turn to speak? Yeah? Can I talk
Speaker 1: to you know? I'm just like, wow, the Cajonis on
Speaker 1: this kid to say something like that to Laurel I,
Speaker 1: who's an obviously you know, you know, the mam a
Speaker 1: lion there and uh flexing her muscles to that kid, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, watch your step because this is a small town.
Speaker 1: And and I think, I'm just you know, I'm I've
Speaker 1: never seen it. I legit. I've never seen the episodes, right,
Speaker 1: um um. I was there fifteen hours a day, twelve
Speaker 1: hours a day. You know, I don't want to consume it.
Speaker 1: When I come home. I need to just shower and
Speaker 1: eat and go to bed and learn my lines for tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And that's all you have time to do. You don't
Speaker 1: have time to do anything else, So the last thing
Speaker 1: I want to do is watch the show. Um, but
Speaker 1: now it makes perfect sense. Something from Felicity And are
Speaker 1: you Madeline or Madeline Madeleine Madeline? We first of all, Felicity.
Speaker 1: Are you named after the iconic television character? I am
Speaker 1: actually not watched the show. And let me say I
Speaker 1: got some notes on that chair. Should we do a
Speaker 1: podcast on Felicity? Even though it's on it? So I
Speaker 1: won't say your ages, but you both look young? So
Speaker 1: are you under twenty? Yeah? I'm not. I tun So
Speaker 1: here is my question for you, and and thanks to Riley,
Speaker 1: we're going through all the pop culture references. So as
Speaker 1: you guys watch the show, do you know most of them?
Speaker 1: We do? Yeah? Or are some do look them up?
Speaker 1: Are they confusing? Or do most of them make sense?
Speaker 1: So most of them we understand. The ones that we
Speaker 1: don't will typically go to our mom because she's the
Speaker 1: one who is like full of knowledge about the old movies,
Speaker 1: old TV shows, stuff like that, and so she'll usually
Speaker 1: phillis in and then Felicity has a list going, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do the movies we have to watch to understand
Speaker 1: all the references. That's amazing. Yeah, we ended up watching
Speaker 1: a bunch of old classics like Bringing a Baby and
Speaker 1: the way we were, Like, we're not huge big fans
Speaker 1: of like Barber streisand but we had to watch um
Speaker 1: the way we were And funny face, we have the DVD,
Speaker 1: but strangely we had never seen before and it's more
Speaker 1: life's favorite movie, so we had to watch it and
Speaker 1: then we're getting all of these extra clues and it's
Speaker 1: we put a lot of effort into understanding that pop
Speaker 1: culture references because every time we go back, it's so
Speaker 1: much funnier. M h, It's so much funnier. That's when
Speaker 1: you get the references. It changes the whole thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that isn't a wonderful how Gilmour is really uh in
Speaker 1: a certain sense of love letter to great literature, film
Speaker 1: and TV for sure. Yeah, and even like when when
Speaker 1: Tristan exits and Chad Michael Murray goes off and they
Speaker 1: find their own way to like put an ode to
Speaker 1: a literature and hit in his new show. And that's
Speaker 1: it's so great because these two thousand shows they're so
Speaker 1: touching too. There's into they're just so much better than
Speaker 1: shows nowadays. Really really Yeah, there's nothing like them. You
Speaker 1: two are adorable. We do like to compare ourselves to
Speaker 1: Lorelai and Rory because she's parenting me. But but sometimes
Speaker 1: she's more lowrily with the spunk. Anyway, guys, you're a
Speaker 1: lot of fun and uh, you know, we should we
Speaker 1: should have them back on. They are insightful info because yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta come back one question. Oh you gotta get
Speaker 1: that question. Yeah, sorry, I wanted to know. Um, what
Speaker 1: like what you seeest Luke's biggest flaw? Flaw? Yeah? What
Speaker 1: what you see is his biggest flaw? And which decision
Speaker 1: it comes out in that you'd want to go back
Speaker 1: and change? Sorry, that's loaded. Yeah, I mean I don't
Speaker 1: know that it's just one flaw. I think that, Um, well,
Speaker 1: he's a bit closed off, isn't he. I he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be Luke if he was open and friendly and happy.
Speaker 1: And I just I think he's just a dark look
Speaker 1: he's a Northeast kind of guy. He's a he's a
Speaker 1: throwback kind of guy. He's a you know, only the
Speaker 1: northeastern part of the United States can produce a guy
Speaker 1: like that who's just so steeped in in in in
Speaker 1: historical significance. I mean, Stars Hollow is an historic town.
Speaker 1: I grew up in a historic town in southern New Jersey.
Speaker 1: I know what that's like. But um, with all the
Speaker 1: eccentric characters and the closeness of the community and the
Speaker 1: smallness of the community and how important that is and
Speaker 1: everybody being accountable, and I just think that he he
Speaker 1: just seems I don't know if it's a flaw, but
Speaker 1: it seems to me he suffered. And that's the way
Speaker 1: I always played it, that he suffered, you know, extraordinary trauma.
Speaker 1: Uh And whether it's emotional or whether he's just too
Speaker 1: sensitive a guy and he's covering up too much, and
Speaker 1: maybe whether the breakups of Rachel and girls before him
Speaker 1: have caused him, you know, to to to to sort
Speaker 1: of grow this very hard shell around himself and be
Speaker 1: so guarded. Um because and I think that's why it's
Speaker 1: so compelling to watch him draw up his guard and
Speaker 1: an attempt to be uh um, real and honest with
Speaker 1: his feelings towards Laurela and uh so yea for his flaws,
Speaker 1: you know, yea for his damage. And it's all very
Speaker 1: useful in a dramatic sense and a comedic sense. Um,
Speaker 1: but anyway, you guys are fantastic. It was great talking
Speaker 1: to a great meeting you. I got a feeling Amy,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be in touch with these two. These are
Speaker 1: these are these are astute young just saying, if you
Speaker 1: ever have to go on vacation, I now know who
Speaker 1: will be filling in for you. Waiting maybe if I
Speaker 1: have to go on vacation for you, I think I
Speaker 1: think we have some superstars, some budding superstars here. Anyway,
Speaker 1: great meeting you, girls, Okay, good talking to you. All right,
Speaker 1: all the best. So next we have Justin and he
Speaker 1: was a Warner Brothers tour guide and two of you
Speaker 1: actually briefly met at a pop up for the Gilmore
Speaker 1: revival in two thousand and sixteen. So we'll bring in Justin. Justin,
Speaker 1: I can hear you, I can't see you. But are
Speaker 1: you still working over Warner Brothers? No, No, I was.
Speaker 1: I was there, uh like two thousand and eleven or
Speaker 1: like two thousand thirteen. It's been a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, and we met. There's photographic evidence there is. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I think it's actually it's like five years
Speaker 1: to the day because it was October. I only know
Speaker 1: this because I was doing scrolling back through my photo role. Um,
Speaker 1: and it was right around the revival because there were
Speaker 1: some pop up shops that Netflix had done with the
Speaker 1: coffee shop, so we met there. Oh so we met
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills at that pop up, right. I think
Speaker 1: if you if you google your name and Netflix Revival,
Speaker 1: like there we sometimes. Yeah, that was God. There were
Speaker 1: a lot of people there. Wow. Yeah, that was shocking.
Speaker 1: The cops were there trying to clear the street. They
Speaker 1: were like, get out of the street. You know, it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, these are gut more fans back off.
Speaker 1: I think you had come out at one point to
Speaker 1: like meet the overflow crowd because it was way more
Speaker 1: than people were anticipating, you know. I think that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was triple what anybody expected. So you have a question.
Speaker 1: But you know, being on the on the back lot,
Speaker 1: I guess and from my perspective and obviously many things
Speaker 1: I have filmed there were were there anything that you
Speaker 1: while filming, like uh found interesting about the particular sets,
Speaker 1: the practical sets, or about this studio in general that um,
Speaker 1: maybe you wouldn't know before or other people wouldn't realize. No,
Speaker 1: because at that point. I was pretty much a seasoned actor.
Speaker 1: I've been on a lot of sets, um and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the thing that did impress me and surprise
Speaker 1: me the most was the size of our set. I
Speaker 1: mean we took the the entire back lot at Warner Brothers.
Speaker 1: I mean that it was just an extraordinary amount of
Speaker 1: real estate. And it's just for that one show. And
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. Uh, you know they're producing I don't know
Speaker 1: how many, they're producing, thirty shows a year on average. Right,
Speaker 1: they're not all shot at Warner Brothers. But there's there's
Speaker 1: shows on sound stages, there's but I mean we took
Speaker 1: off this massive chunk of real estate over there, um,
Speaker 1: and we had sound stages that were ours and dedicated.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just really a big commitment on
Speaker 1: the studios part. Uh. And that's the thing that that
Speaker 1: blew me away when we got there, was like the size,
Speaker 1: the amount of real estate. We had the recreation of
Speaker 1: Unionville up in Toronto right to create that, and it
Speaker 1: was just so it was a replica of the place
Speaker 1: and it was stunning. Um. I didn't know how good
Speaker 1: the construction crews really were until I got on that set.
Speaker 1: I want this is extraordinary work. Uh, and it helped
Speaker 1: us to believe that we were in these places that
Speaker 1: we had shot the pilot and it was it was extraordinary.
Speaker 1: Um So yeah, that's probably the biggest impression that hit
Speaker 1: me was the size of it and the detail of it.
Speaker 1: And then was your was your apartment set? Was that
Speaker 1: built inside the big practical that that high school area?
Speaker 1: Or was that stage? Yeah? No, that was the high school.
Speaker 1: It was inside the high school. Yeah. Yeah. I was
Speaker 1: always impressed just you know, being on those sets every
Speaker 1: day and bringing people around, you know, how much work
Speaker 1: went into making that looked like Stars Hollow or you know,
Speaker 1: any other small town that they that they made it
Speaker 1: look like. There's a lot more work than you would
Speaker 1: think watching it, you know at home on screen. So
Speaker 1: I always try to impress that upon people when visiting
Speaker 1: that it takes it literally takes a village. It does. No,
Speaker 1: it's it's hundreds of workers that are you know, high
Speaker 1: end people who are great craftsmen building all that stuff.
Speaker 1: It takes a lot. It takes a lot. Anyway, listen,
Speaker 1: we gotta go. We got one last guess they're waiting
Speaker 1: in the wings. It was great catching up with you man,
Speaker 1: and uh, all the best and thanks for your questions.
Speaker 1: All right, buddy, continue listening. Okay, thanks man, I appreciate it. Bye. Yeah, Riley,
Speaker 1: what do we have? We have another guest? Yes, we
Speaker 1: have our final guest, Jacqueline and uh fun story her
Speaker 1: and her best friend Kelsey. Um, this is the show
Speaker 1: is what has kept them close to each other throughout
Speaker 1: their childhood and um, Kelsey and Jacqueline haven't seen each
Speaker 1: other in years because Jacqueline is active duty and station
Speaker 1: across the country. So we'll get a little more on that.
Speaker 1: Here comes Jacqueline. Jacqueline. Hello, Hey, how's it going. It's
Speaker 1: going great. How you doing. I'm great. I'm so excited
Speaker 1: to get to chat with you. We're excited to have you. Welcome, Welcome, welcome. Um,
Speaker 1: So you have a friend that is a military person.
Speaker 1: I'm a military you're a military person. And where where
Speaker 1: are you stationed? I'm stan Northern California. Okay, Uh, well,
Speaker 1: thank you for your service first and foremost, and thanks
Speaker 1: for watching the show. And uh, apparently you grew up
Speaker 1: with somebody who and you remain bonded over this show
Speaker 1: all these years later. And tell us a little bit
Speaker 1: about her her name is Kelsey. She's my best friend
Speaker 1: from high school when we started swimming together when we
Speaker 1: were fourteen, and we've stayed in touch all these years.
Speaker 1: And she lives in New York City. UM, so actually
Speaker 1: got to visit over last month and that's when we
Speaker 1: emailed in. UM. But we send each other stuff back
Speaker 1: and forth about Gilmore all the time, like any random
Speaker 1: you know, posts that we see about it. She was
Speaker 1: the one that told me about this podcast, UM. And
Speaker 1: then we'll send like little games back and forth, like
Speaker 1: she'll randomly text me and be like, hey, watch episode
Speaker 1: seven of all seven seasons and we'll just kind of
Speaker 1: kind of like go through it like that or look
Speaker 1: for the clown pillow. And so it's just kind of
Speaker 1: kept us connected over the years. That's nice. Watch our
Speaker 1: favorite episodes every time we're together, right right. That's that's terrific.
Speaker 1: That's true. And that's been going on for how many years?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, did you say ten years? Ten years? Wow? Decades?
Speaker 1: A decade is worth of Gilmore and bonding. That's wonderful. UM.
Speaker 1: Do you have so do you have a specific question
Speaker 1: you just want to chat? I do have a specific
Speaker 1: question of mine, So when we were like talking about
Speaker 1: our Gilmore games that we sent back and forth. We're
Speaker 1: wondering did the cast have any games, um, that they
Speaker 1: like played to pass the time on set, or any
Speaker 1: shenanigans they tried to get away with while you were filming.
Speaker 1: You when the days are getting long and the nights
Speaker 1: are getting rather silly, Well, um, you know most people
Speaker 1: just read. Uh, yeah, we would read a lot because
Speaker 1: it was so much time downtime, right, they'd bring you there.
Speaker 1: Let's say you had one scene to do in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: they'd bring you there early in the morning because they
Speaker 1: didn't know if they were going to get to the
Speaker 1: other scenes and maybe they were going to move your
Speaker 1: scene up or somebody's seen up to the morning and
Speaker 1: they were there ready to go already through hair and
Speaker 1: makeup and wardrobe, the whole thing. Um. So that's the job.
Speaker 1: The job is that what they pay you for is
Speaker 1: waiting around, and it's a lot of that. Were you
Speaker 1: reading new books, papers and magazines? Books? Yeah? What have you?
Speaker 1: I mean? Because it was the days before we could
Speaker 1: watch shows on our foods correct correct um, and we
Speaker 1: all had television sets in our trailers. But I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody ever watched them. We had we had phones
Speaker 1: we could call China with, but now I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody ever used them. We had fax machines. I never
Speaker 1: received a fact, you know in my trailer, but we
Speaker 1: had all of this stuff. Um and uh, I you know,
Speaker 1: I at one point played some practical jokes on a
Speaker 1: few of the cast members over the course of a
Speaker 1: couple of seasons. I nailed somebody's shoes to the floor
Speaker 1: of their trailer. They didn't appreciate that too much, so
Speaker 1: I stopped doing that. I put vassiline on the toilet
Speaker 1: seat of a certain cast member and he fell in
Speaker 1: and got stuck. Yeah, they will, they will. Uh, And
Speaker 1: I'll take it to the grave. I'm not gonna I'm
Speaker 1: not coughing up the inphoe um, you know, just a
Speaker 1: little stuff like that, and uh, just to keep it
Speaker 1: lively a little bit. I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: all the way appreciated, but I tried so somehow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's a lot of pick you know. You go
Speaker 1: to the craft service table and you pick around the
Speaker 1: food a lot, and you eat bananas and eat grapes,
Speaker 1: and then you start eating junkie stuff and it was
Speaker 1: usually pretty good spreads and there wasn't unhealthy stuff at all,
Speaker 1: but um, you know you could eat too many bags
Speaker 1: of chips and get a tummy ache, right, Um, you
Speaker 1: just you just don't realize how famished you get when
Speaker 1: you're on set and you're just like burning up all
Speaker 1: this energy, and just because you're not running or being
Speaker 1: physically active, you don't realize how hungry you get, and
Speaker 1: you just sit there and start wolfing down large quantities
Speaker 1: of food standing up, like, wait a minute, really, you
Speaker 1: have a favorite. Do both of you have a favorite episode?
Speaker 1: One episode? Episode two hands down with the loyeralized first
Speaker 1: day it Chiltern by far my favorite it was. I
Speaker 1: would say it's like contender for top in this series too.
Speaker 1: I just love it. I think it's so funny. My
Speaker 1: second piado would be when the when they all reunite
Speaker 1: after Rory like moves out of the Gilmore House and
Speaker 1: they all have that argument, just kind of going back
Speaker 1: and forth and they rehash everything. That's that's the other contender.
Speaker 1: Those two are tops. Oh my god, that's so random.
Speaker 1: You bring that up. I stumbled on that on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Are you talking about the We're getting a hit of ourselves.
Speaker 1: So but I talk about the Friday night dinner and
Speaker 1: they like, cut to another scene, cut to another scene,
Speaker 1: and she's like, I'm not quitting the d A R
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, and then and then lies I'll like
Speaker 1: Mr Gilmare is like, so, how's Luke And he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: he has a kid, just kind of sits there nodding.
Speaker 1: So funny you're bringing that up. I weirdly saw that
Speaker 1: on YouTube. So stay tuned, everybody, because in a couple
Speaker 1: of years we'll get to that this is good and
Speaker 1: they're all drunk and ripping on Logan ste Yeah, I
Speaker 1: totally know you're talking about. Yeah, But my favorite line
Speaker 1: from season one is definitely when um it was like
Speaker 1: from it was from Kiss and Tell, and I remember
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about this episode, but this line,
Speaker 1: I don't think it got brought up, and I was
Speaker 1: just like, no, it's my It's the best. When Rory
Speaker 1: tells Laurela about her first kiss and she goes and
Speaker 1: he said thank you, and where he goes yeah, and
Speaker 1: she goes, well that was very polite, and I just
Speaker 1: lost it. Now do you do you tell people about
Speaker 1: the show, you try to turn them onto the show.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I've gotten many people involved. I work, even
Speaker 1: like on the night watches. Sometimes we'll just have like
Speaker 1: random TV shows on. I've learned that Gilmore comes on
Speaker 1: at three in the morning. Um, so when I'm on
Speaker 1: the night watches, will put that on and my like
Speaker 1: fellow watch dandiers will be like, wait, what's happening now,
Speaker 1: or like we'll come back a week later and they've
Speaker 1: missed like three seasons because it just keeps playing, and
Speaker 1: I'll be like, wait, I thought she was dating the
Speaker 1: other guy. Pretty great, all right, all right, Jacqueline, it
Speaker 1: was fun. Thanks for coming on. Thank you for your email.
Speaker 1: Keep them coming in, keep listening. We love that you
Speaker 1: love the show. Uh and uh we appreciate your time. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you, all right, good meeting you. Thanks me, all right,
Speaker 1: take care. Are Gilmore fans the nicest people on the
Speaker 1: whole planet? Like literally that everyone is the sweetest kind
Speaker 1: of nicest people. I'm telling you, you know, every person
Speaker 1: that has stopped me in the last twenty one years,
Speaker 1: it's they've been just really great. They've been delightful, the
Speaker 1: sweetest thing. I get why people love it because it's
Speaker 1: minus minus A couple of emails, you know, but that
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the show. I had everything
Speaker 1: to do with the podcast. So Scott, as we are
Speaker 1: rapping season one, we wanted to start a fun new bit. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: what is this a shutter to think? Every few weeks
Speaker 1: we're going to go through the the reviews of the
Speaker 1: podcast wanting to read them. What so, Riley, We've got
Speaker 1: We're not gonna We're gonna do a couple of good ones,
Speaker 1: a couple of bad ones. Here we go, So what
Speaker 1: kind of what kind of music? What do you want?
Speaker 1: Something soft, something nice? Just for under Riley? Reading these
Speaker 1: reviews some will be painful. I'm addicted to it, but
Speaker 1: I'm not really impressed with the host. Mostly I find
Speaker 1: them annoying. But I love the Some pop culture the
Speaker 1: I heart producers are the worst, namely Riley. She is
Speaker 1: too young and uninformed about the show and pop culture
Speaker 1: culture overall. How are you hired for a job about
Speaker 1: a show you haven't seen and to go over the
Speaker 1: pop culture you aren't aware of? The good I love
Speaker 1: the banter and the behind the scenes info, particularly particularly
Speaker 1: like the deep dive into character's motivations. Honestly, though Riley
Speaker 1: is the real envy. I just finished my umteen three
Speaker 1: watch of Gilmore Girls when this podcast started. I am
Speaker 1: now watching all over again one episode a week to
Speaker 1: follow along hearing Scott's genuine excitement at the first time.
Speaker 1: Fewer is my favorite part. Cannot wait to see how
Speaker 1: he reacts to later seasons. See some are good, some
Speaker 1: are pretty good. Yeah, so keep them coming because we
Speaker 1: will read them, we take note of them. We will
Speaker 1: try to improve in season two. We'll try to be
Speaker 1: less annoying. This is the theme song for this bit. Hey,
Speaker 1: everybody picking on my ax right now. We're gonna be
Speaker 1: back breakdown season two. Just get a little groove on
Speaker 1: and I think you're all groovy? Can you groove with me?
