Speaker 1: listener questions. Let's get right into it. You know you've
Speaker 1: d m us, you have emailed us, you have you've
Speaker 1: left all kinds of comments on all kinds of platforms
Speaker 1: and we're we're seeing every single one of them, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of them, but they're all interesting and
Speaker 1: we love them. And let's get to the first one,
Speaker 1: and this is from Alex. Was the food real at
Speaker 1: Luke's Diner? Who ate it? Did people eat the prop food?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. The food was real, yes,
Speaker 1: but it was old. They would cook it fresh, right,
Speaker 1: and maybe on that first day that it was coming out,
Speaker 1: it may have been edible for the maybe the first
Speaker 1: ten minutes, but after that it was like next day,
Speaker 1: same food, next day, same food, next day. So my episode,
Speaker 1: you know, it took us eight days to shoot one episode.
Speaker 1: But so by that fifth, six seventh day, when extras
Speaker 1: was get a little bored, little hungry sitting around, they
Speaker 1: butt into a burger, they'd get a rude awakening that
Speaker 1: it was cold, hard, and and not terribly fresh. Um.
Speaker 1: So those were kind of shocking and humorous moments on
Speaker 1: the set. Who ate it? Yeah it was the extras
Speaker 1: um and yes, the food was real. Okay. Second question
Speaker 1: from Christie. I liked the podcast theme song, Oh oh,
Speaker 1: is it Scot's music? What is the name of the
Speaker 1: song and is it available? Yes? That is a I recently,
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, you know, I sold my house. We
Speaker 1: moved into my wife's parents condo, a huge condo in
Speaker 1: Santa Monica. They were away on vacation for a long time,
Speaker 1: so we're in there. So I was writing a lot
Speaker 1: of songs in there while my new home was being remodeled.
Speaker 1: Um and I just you know, I was sitting in
Speaker 1: a room where the songs just kept flowing. And I
Speaker 1: had wor old my producer's guitar, and there were a
Speaker 1: lot of songs in that guitar, and I just kept
Speaker 1: coming out. So I wrote all these songs. We went
Speaker 1: in the studio and recorded three songs. That's one of
Speaker 1: the songs. So I sent it to UH. I sent
Speaker 1: it to our our main producer, Amy, who is with us,
Speaker 1: and and I said, what do you think about this
Speaker 1: for the theme song? She and she loved it, and
Speaker 1: so we went with it. I was worried at first.
Speaker 1: I was like, what, it just sucks. What am I
Speaker 1: gonna do this? Am I going to tell him this
Speaker 1: song blows? I know, I know how many times have
Speaker 1: you ever been in that situation your life where it's
Speaker 1: like you gotta be honest with people because you love them,
Speaker 1: but you don't want it to screw up your business. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's important. So uh but it's a good song. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I wrote it, and you know, I I changed
Speaker 1: my I changed my sort of take on songwriting, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to know. I was listening to a lot
Speaker 1: of early beatles. It was two minute, happy songs with
Speaker 1: great hooks, and I was like, really, just trying to
Speaker 1: you know, it's a pandemic. I don't want to get
Speaker 1: you know, commiserate or or be depressing because those songs
Speaker 1: are easy to write. And uh, I just saw challenge yourself,
Speaker 1: right right, happier music, right right, love songs. So it
Speaker 1: was all love songs. Okay. So here's a question from
Speaker 1: j Hi J. Was the hot coffee real in Luke's diner? Yes,
Speaker 1: but then it would cool off. Like I said about
Speaker 1: the food, it would cool off, and then you'd be
Speaker 1: drinking either lukewarm or cold coffee the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: Alexis drink coke. I think she did. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: my memories of her were on the set where she
Speaker 1: was a little more she was healthy, but um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess at times she probably drank coke. We all
Speaker 1: needed something to trust me because we're like nodding out,
Speaker 1: you know after lunch, after lunch, if you had to
Speaker 1: shoot a scene and you were like, oh boy, you know,
Speaker 1: oh boy? Uh So how many times did you have
Speaker 1: to pour a cup of coffee for a scene? Jeez?
Speaker 1: I mean every time in the diner. That was my
Speaker 1: go to stick. You know, I'm pouring the coffee, pouring
Speaker 1: the cof one of the coffee. It was my excuse
Speaker 1: to go to go over to the table that you know,
Speaker 1: the director says, Scott, how are you gonna get over
Speaker 1: the table? We can have someone pourk cup of coffee.
Speaker 1: What do you think? Don't you watch a show? What's
Speaker 1: wrong with you? So that's what I did. Uh, here
Speaker 1: we go, Jessica. Jessica has a question. Who came up
Speaker 1: with the idea of no phones at loose? Good question.
Speaker 1: I can't take credit for that. That's that's a that's
Speaker 1: a a Sherman Palladino. Uh move right there. So there
Speaker 1: you go. That's their their commentary on encroaching technology and
Speaker 1: it works like a charm. And Alessandra, when it snowed,
Speaker 1: was the snow actually real? And did it actually? What
Speaker 1: did it actually smell like Unfortunately, Alessandra, it was not real.
Speaker 1: They have these very sophisticated companies that come in and
Speaker 1: do snow for a film and TV and they're made
Speaker 1: of paper there. It's like confetti almost. It's tiny little
Speaker 1: uh uh squares of paper and they rain them down
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of it, and they lay down
Speaker 1: these sort of white mats uh to make it look fluffy,
Speaker 1: and then they pour that stuff from a a giant
Speaker 1: machine on top. It's it's a much larger machine than
Speaker 1: you even realize. You walk on seting go what the
Speaker 1: heck is that thing? Um, it looks like I'm like
Speaker 1: they're putting up a huge building or something. But then
Speaker 1: they just rain little paper down on everything looks it
Speaker 1: really looks really good. Um. So that's how they do it.
Speaker 1: And it gets in your nose and it gets in
Speaker 1: your clothes and it gets everywhere. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: sand Alright, guys, thank you for your questions. Awesome questions.
Speaker 1: I hope you learned something. Um. I had fun answering,
Speaker 1: So keep them coming, um And we're gonna get into
Speaker 1: breaking down the episode uh a little later. But first

Speaker 1: debut appearance in episode two as bad Bett, the wife
Speaker 1: of Mori and Uh, a Laurelai neighbor and the gnome
Speaker 1: owner of Gnomes best Gnome collection. Probably in stars Hollow,
Speaker 1: I would say, and maybe in that entire county. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, if anybody knows, let us know, uh,
Speaker 1: somebody with Gnome knowledge, because I certainly you know, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm versed in Gnomes, but I'm sure there's somebody out
Speaker 1: there that could. What did you think when they told
Speaker 1: you Sally Struthers was joining the cast? I mean I
Speaker 1: grew up on all in the family. I mean, what
Speaker 1: a what a fantastic show. And she was you know,

Speaker 1: Rose won't drag about herself. But Rose is working constantly
Speaker 1: because she's all the big films, she's a wanted commodity.
Speaker 1: She's amazing and everything she doesn't she's guesting on all
Speaker 1: of these shows. If you go to Second City and
Speaker 1: get those chops, then you're gonna be in demand, right,
Speaker 1: it's gonna that's like, that's like an investment into your

Speaker 1: I mean, I got really lucky and got to work
Speaker 1: on Hacks, which is a new HBO Max show that's
Speaker 1: going to start May thirteen. Nice. But everyone, I mean,
Speaker 1: how many times Scott do you get asked about like,
Speaker 1: are there going to be more? Like so many people
Speaker 1: every day, right, they want a Christmas movie or something,
Speaker 1: just something. So I always feel like I'm disappointing everybody
Speaker 1: by going back. I don't know, I mean, is it
Speaker 1: beyond the realm of possibility? I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: want to give people false help. Are we starting did
Speaker 1: we start yet? And we're going We're wing? What it
Speaker 1: is we're here just we're just chopping it up, you know,
Speaker 1: just you know, it's like it's going to be a
Speaker 1: little trip down memory lane. So welcome you guys. People
Speaker 1: stop you on the street, Scott, stop me stop. I
Speaker 1: mean they might follow and hello. They're always pleasant. Stop
Speaker 1: oh stop me, stop me. Do they recognize you and
Speaker 1: stop you to talk to you? Oh? Sure, yeah, they
Speaker 1: come up. They're very friendly. I've always only had very
Speaker 1: pleasant encounters. I mean, do your fans know that from
Speaker 1: Gilmore girl fans that before you were on Gilmore girls
Speaker 1: who were a professional baseball player. Some do some do this.
Speaker 1: Some of the guys are like, hey, you know, I
Speaker 1: you know, I know I played with Chucky, you know,
Speaker 1: and you know I remember him and you played with him.
Speaker 1: He said, you know, you're pretty good this. You know,
Speaker 1: it's all that stuff is your son. Now he's he's
Speaker 1: going to be seven in wolaying him. Nah, he's an artist.
Speaker 1: You should and and he's you should see his drawings.
Speaker 1: They are amazing that he started out a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, very boskiyat kind of stuff, and now he's
Speaker 1: he's a he's a into realism. So he's drawing these
Speaker 1: exact things that wonderful stuff. He's not. He's not a
Speaker 1: you know. It's like and and he has all the talent.
Speaker 1: I've thrown the ball with him and he wings it
Speaker 1: back at seven miles an hour and the whole deal.
Speaker 1: And it's like, but my thing with that is, it's like, gosh,
Speaker 1: there's so much more to life, and there's so many
Speaker 1: other skills that I know that he has, and I
Speaker 1: want to bring those out, you know, and and allow
Speaker 1: those to develop and flourish. And well, it's like if
Speaker 1: you get into that sports thing, it's very limiting. And
Speaker 1: not that it doesn't have its benefits. It does, it
Speaker 1: really does. But I mean my fear is that he's
Speaker 1: like really good at it and we're gonna make a decision.
Speaker 1: I don't want him go in that room. Look he'll decide, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, if if it's meant to be, it'll be.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's a very good student. He loves
Speaker 1: to read, he loves to create. He's got a real
Speaker 1: big creative side. Did you know that is an artist?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean she did the background for this
Speaker 1: this back. She did the background for the background. I
Speaker 1: know I was cheesy, but I'm I sculpt miniature, I
Speaker 1: sculpt managers, and and it's been so fun this pandemic
Speaker 1: because I don't know, I decided to make little cars
Speaker 1: out of food, and somebody said, oh, do you do
Speaker 1: you do cars because you're gypsy to auto mechanic. I
Speaker 1: was like, I never even thought of that, But I
Speaker 1: just I got obsessed with making like tiny animals driving
Speaker 1: tiny cars. There you go, he know, and when she
Speaker 1: says tiny, she means tiny. When she finishes one of
Speaker 1: her pieces, which you can't understand, like adult fingers are
Speaker 1: just too big to be able to make this, she
Speaker 1: photographs it with the penny next to it so that
Speaker 1: you can see that it's it's about the size of
Speaker 1: a penny, and it's it's detailed and it's perfect. It's
Speaker 1: a house driving a piece of cheese. It's a thank
Speaker 1: you at least, like the perfect art agent. You're you're
Speaker 1: a great pr person. Ground we're doing it. We're really
Speaker 1: meeting to other. This is part of a town meeting,
Speaker 1: the three of us. Well, you have you have a
Speaker 1: seven year old, so I kind of know a lot
Speaker 1: about what you've been doing during pandemic. Rose has been
Speaker 1: working a lot um not to be a Debbie downer.
Speaker 1: But Rose and I both recently lost our dogs. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, and it's been pretty awful. But the
Speaker 1: only satisfaction her dog was Monkey and my dog was
Speaker 1: Brad is that now we know that Monkey or Brad
Speaker 1: are playing together and Doggie heaven there you have any
Speaker 1: thoughts about getting up? How do you feel about that? Sally?
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you that I counted on my
Speaker 1: fingers today and I ran out of fingers the amount
Speaker 1: of dogs that I have had in my adulthood, and
Speaker 1: and uh, I have had a leaven Wow. And before
Speaker 1: I got Brad, I went a whole year without a
Speaker 1: dog because my first my two before that were Scotty
Speaker 1: dogs and one was Bob and one was banana Is.
Speaker 1: And Bob died of cancer. And three months later Banana's
Speaker 1: drowned in my swimming pool, and my heart was so broken.
Speaker 1: I was so damaged from that, I went there's time
Speaker 1: in my adult life. I went an entire year without
Speaker 1: choosing another God's gifts dogs are gifts from God to
Speaker 1: live with. And then I found Brad at a at
Speaker 1: a rescue place in New Hampshire while I was working
Speaker 1: Maine and now my heart so broken again. I don't
Speaker 1: think I can get one right away, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: I will. What about you, Rose, I mean, I just
Speaker 1: he was so perfect that I don't really I can't
Speaker 1: imagine getting another one. It was just Please tell Scott
Speaker 1: how we were working together on when the reunion, when
Speaker 1: we were making the Gilmore Girls reunions, and you and
Speaker 1: John went to the Pasadena dog shelter and find a dog.
Speaker 1: Amy six. Scott Amy would have put Monkey in the
Speaker 1: winter in a year in the life, like I got
Speaker 1: a dog, and everyone's like, oh, how's your dog? I go, well,
Speaker 1: we had him for four hours and he ran away.
Speaker 1: Every that whole time. I had to stand there on
Speaker 1: my mark. You were in that scene, and Amy was like,
Speaker 1: my mind was wandering so badly because something. I just
Speaker 1: met this flipping dog. It took me fifteen years pick
Speaker 1: out a dog and he ran away. But I knew
Speaker 1: you got a dog, and so I gave you a
Speaker 1: plaid collar for him. She gave me a green plant collar.
Speaker 1: The dog ran away. Long story short, someone found the job.
Speaker 1: We put it on lost pause l A. The lady
Speaker 1: wasn't going to give up the dog, and we go
Speaker 1: please please it's got a green plant collar or a
Speaker 1: gift from Sally Struther's godmother. She goes, I have your dog.
Speaker 1: So if Sally hadn't given me the plant collar, they
Speaker 1: never would have found the dog. Very I'm going to
Speaker 1: write it in a book because it really is an
Speaker 1: amazing story. But back to our life. In our town meetings,
Speaker 1: Sally turned to me one of the first times I
Speaker 1: worked with you, Sally, and she looked at me and
Speaker 1: just I didn't know her. I was like, she's from
Speaker 1: all in the family. I love sitting next to her.
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is happening. And she just goes,
Speaker 1: do you want to see my dog's driver's license? And
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, your dog is a driver's life.
Speaker 1: And she pulled out of California license with the perfect
Speaker 1: picture of Bob. It was so silly and wonderful that
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, this is great. You still have
Speaker 1: it in your wallet. Fantastic Bob's driver's license. There. She goes,
Speaker 1: she's gonna find it. She's got it, so I do
Speaker 1: want another one, But I just feel like he was
Speaker 1: so perfect, And it was my first dog. I was
Speaker 1: fifty three. I've never had a dog before and Amy.
Speaker 1: Amy actually said to me their dog passed away right
Speaker 1: before we started filming A Year in the Life, and
Speaker 1: she goes, they'll break your heart. My husband said, they
Speaker 1: bring you joy a million times, they only break your
Speaker 1: heart once, right, right, right, Well, the time will come. Yes,
Speaker 1: I can't find it. But there's a company you can
Speaker 1: write to and you send them your dog's picture and
Speaker 1: your dog's height, and wait and birthdays, and they make
Speaker 1: the driver's license for you for whatever state you actually
Speaker 1: live in using When I got stopped by a policeman
Speaker 1: for I don't know what I was doing, but a
Speaker 1: police will stop me, he said, driver's license play. So
Speaker 1: I handed him the one with my dog on it,
Speaker 1: thinking that it would charm me him. And that was,
Speaker 1: you know, the two I gotta I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: while I have you, Guys, the two biggest thrills of
Speaker 1: my entire career are when I was in Carnegie Hall
Speaker 1: taken Repetition with Robert Modica and he was dating Louise
Speaker 1: Lasser at the time, and I was a huge Mary
Speaker 1: Hartman Mary Hart Show. Remember that show? What That show
Speaker 1: was mind blowing great. It was just the greatest thing.
Speaker 1: And because it never should have been on television. It
Speaker 1: was just it was it was like it was like
Speaker 1: Theater of the absurd. It was how did that get
Speaker 1: on network television? But it was just she was great
Speaker 1: at it, and she was in the class. And I
Speaker 1: just done a repetition exercise where I, you know, dug
Speaker 1: real deep and had a big breakthrough in the whole deal.
Speaker 1: And I was I sat down, I was like, uh,
Speaker 1: And she turned her Louise Lasser herself turned around and
Speaker 1: looked at me, and she said, You're going to get
Speaker 1: everything you want. And I have never felt so supported
Speaker 1: or blessed or validate you were. You were put a
Speaker 1: stamp on me and ship me out. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was just a wonderful moment. And then the day I
Speaker 1: walked onto the set and there you were, Sally from
Speaker 1: All in the Family, another show that I grew up with,
Speaker 1: just like worshiping the writing and the acting, and and
Speaker 1: I got to work with you. And and the story
Speaker 1: I always tell is on my birthday, and you were
Speaker 1: so kind to do this because you knew my birthday
Speaker 1: fell on a very tragic day in our nation's history.
Speaker 1: Even you would pick me up because I never celebrated it.
Speaker 1: On my on that day because out of respect for
Speaker 1: the people who lost their lives. But um, you would
Speaker 1: pick me up. And people don't know this about Sally.
Speaker 1: You're very you're physically very strong. I was shocked and
Speaker 1: I was going about to ten at that time. And
Speaker 1: you would pick me up, throw me over his shoulder
Speaker 1: and take me around the set and say, smack him
Speaker 1: on the acids his birthday. You go to every single
Speaker 1: bring day, walloped me and I'd have red marks every year.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what all you're good at that? She
Speaker 1: can fireman's carry? She doesn't. Oh yeah, you did it
Speaker 1: with you, remember, And no, she just threw me over
Speaker 1: her shoulder. She was a fireman. No, it wasn't like
Speaker 1: a no, she didn't put me around her neck. She
Speaker 1: just threw me over one shoulder. And then she had
Speaker 1: a free hand to smack at will you know, and
Speaker 1: then let others have their turns. You're the person to
Speaker 1: be with if there's God forbid of burning building, because
Speaker 1: I will throw you all out. And let me tell
Speaker 1: you why. I am Scottish and Scandinavian, and both of
Speaker 1: those people are built to pull the slay through the snow.
Speaker 1: If the horse drops dead and we're just unnaturally strong.
Speaker 1: So are you? Are you a Scottish Highlander or a Lowlander?
Speaker 1: I'd like to take the high road, but it's not
Speaker 1: any fun. The low road passes cut by a couple
Speaker 1: of bars, a discotheq. And because did you know that
Speaker 1: that Sean Gunn and Lauren Graham are Highlanders? Did you
Speaker 1: know that? Yeah? If they have Scottish blood, and I
Speaker 1: think they both do. Yeah, and their tribes are still
Speaker 1: vital in a lot. My grandfather came from a town
Speaker 1: in Scotland called Motherwell, and I honestly don't know if
Speaker 1: they were Highlanders or Lowlanders. I don't know this right right?
Speaker 1: Do you have a kilt? I had one, but I
Speaker 1: lost it. I think you will look quite nice in
Speaker 1: a kilt. If I don't know, I think maybe you know,
Speaker 1: considering Milo's recent thigh flashing pensant, I could probably get
Speaker 1: away with wearing a kilt now. It really gives me
Speaker 1: a lot of freedom. Yes, at least usually have very
Speaker 1: nice knees. They have nice legs. Those guys filmore guys.
Speaker 1: I don't know. So So tell me your favorite scenes
Speaker 1: the Favorite Days? Do you remember the favorite scenes in
Speaker 1: the Favorite Days? On set. Any day I was with
Speaker 1: Rose was my favorite day. The Rose made every day fun.
Speaker 1: Thank you and you. I felt the same way about
Speaker 1: you and Scott. I felt the same way when I
Speaker 1: just thought I'm working with Sally and Liz, like it
Speaker 1: was my my life revolved around that night of television
Speaker 1: with all in the family, and I was just It
Speaker 1: still blows my mind that I can call her a
Speaker 1: very dear friend that because I was such a fan
Speaker 1: for so many years, but we had so much fun.
Speaker 1: I remember more about year in the life because of
Speaker 1: course it was more recent, and I just remember, like
Speaker 1: one one day that really struck me was we as Gypsy.
Speaker 1: I never got to be in the mansion, but of
Speaker 1: course I got to play for that, so I got
Speaker 1: to be in the house the day that they unveiled.
Speaker 1: You know, the painting of of ed Herman was just
Speaker 1: so enormous. If we all gathered in the living room
Speaker 1: and the painting a part of the joke of it
Speaker 1: was wife that painting so big, and everyone just looked
Speaker 1: at it, and I felt like his presence was almost
Speaker 1: there like that. That just was a day that I
Speaker 1: just remember. I remember feeling so close to the you know,
Speaker 1: Lauren and and Alexis and and Kelly, And it was
Speaker 1: just a very emotional day that I felt he's not here,
Speaker 1: but he's here, you know it, truly you did feel
Speaker 1: his presence and hum you know, the scenes that I
Speaker 1: would do in the diner with Lauren or whomever, those
Speaker 1: were very intense scenes because there was so much to
Speaker 1: do in terms of blocking and and the handling of
Speaker 1: the plates and the you know and hitting your marks,
Speaker 1: and it was like ten page scenes and they would
Speaker 1: shoot the master over and over and over you as
Speaker 1: you will know this. And then on the days that uh,
Speaker 1: and so there was like there was this intensity and
Speaker 1: there was sort of this burnout almost um where it
Speaker 1: was like, wow, this is you know, because acting can
Speaker 1: be hard endurance wise, and just to sort of keep
Speaker 1: that focus. But on the days that that that, Sally
Speaker 1: and Liz were together in the diner and Rosey were
Speaker 1: there sometimes and and it was just all so much fun.
Speaker 1: It was like, thank God they're here, because now we
Speaker 1: can laugh because you guys would sit around and tell
Speaker 1: those stories and and tell jokes and just be great
Speaker 1: with everybody. And it was such a joy. Rose said
Speaker 1: to me, we were sitting in our actors director chairs
Speaker 1: that had our names on them. Also Fancy and um
Speaker 1: there were before was in the group of Rosa said
Speaker 1: to me, give us a show, Sally, what you've got
Speaker 1: your purse. And I don't think you knew what I
Speaker 1: had in my purse, but I think there was a
Speaker 1: lot of job dropping going on because my purse is
Speaker 1: filled with things to make unhappy children stop crying on airplanes.
Speaker 1: But you have to go pass all of the props
Speaker 1: and the jokes to find my wallet. So I I proceeded.
Speaker 1: I proceeded to take the things out of my I've
Speaker 1: got my purse out of my purse, and you had
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. Well, first of all, this always
Speaker 1: shocks the child when you when you come back to
Speaker 1: talk to them and you say hi, Hi, and they
Speaker 1: either cry harder or they look at base and they
Speaker 1: stopped crying. And if that doesn't work, you put on
Speaker 1: one of your little hands and you you sneak the
Speaker 1: little hand around the edge of the seat, and we
Speaker 1: kept the child on the shoulder and they look and
Speaker 1: they get very quiet. I've got a pair of those.
Speaker 1: And you think, sy, didn't you do you? You hand
Speaker 1: the crossword puzzle as bad bat. That was your real
Speaker 1: crossword puzzle right there, we're working out yes, and then
Speaker 1: and then always, when the meal comes, you have the
Speaker 1: extend of fork because it makes it so much easier
Speaker 1: to eat off of someone else's plate if what they
Speaker 1: have looks good that you say, oh, you don't mind,
Speaker 1: do you? If I just take a bite. So there's that,
Speaker 1: and then there's um. And then there's always the chicken.
Speaker 1: I love chickens. And I say, oh, I have a chicken.
Speaker 1: I have a chicken, and and she um, she's about
Speaker 1: to make me a grand oh oh oh, we're pulling
Speaker 1: out all the stuffs here on. I am all in,
Speaker 1: aren't we Look at this? Look at this. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna get this level of entertainment anywhere. It's not going
Speaker 1: to happen anywhere else. See, this is why it was great.
Speaker 1: And if if the hand goes over to night, then
Speaker 1: the what coming around the corner of the airline seat
Speaker 1: works too. And you just walked along their tray, that's
Speaker 1: what's it? My pirst what roads that's and we didn't
Speaker 1: play the game what's in Sally's purse? And I really
Speaker 1: do think a show about celebrity purses would really be
Speaker 1: I think. I mean I watched that, haven't you what's
Speaker 1: in Queen Elizabeth's spurs? She carries that purse everywhere? I
Speaker 1: want to know what's in the I mean, is there
Speaker 1: a credit card that says the Queen? And does she
Speaker 1: have clean xt or does she actually carry a real hanky?
Speaker 1: Real hanky for sure? Yeah. I think one of my
Speaker 1: favorite scenes that I'm most proud of is we did
Speaker 1: one together Scott where I think, oh, the fans know
Speaker 1: every single one, they know him by name, they know
Speaker 1: exactly which episode, which season, but you had a you
Speaker 1: had to ask me if he brought a bag of
Speaker 1: money whatever it was. It was the longest scene and
Speaker 1: under the line, guys are stupid. They stripped their gears,
Speaker 1: they ride the breaks and if they don't laugh when
Speaker 1: we make a joke, they think we're stupid. Marks to
Speaker 1: hit and it was we did it like about nineteen times.
Speaker 1: I'm most proud of that because when I see it,
Speaker 1: you don't see all the technical like stand here. No, no,
Speaker 1: it's not as easy as it looks, that is for sure. Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: it's time for rapid fire. You're ready? Oh, okay, Sally

Speaker 1: and done thing, just the three of us. We'll do
Speaker 1: all the characters. Well, you guys can do most of
Speaker 1: them and I'll just do my character. Let's just keep
Speaker 1: it at that. I love thinking the first season. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was the second where my cats Cinnamon dies and
Speaker 1: every everyone comes to my house for a wake, and
Speaker 1: Laurela I realize this for the first time, that everything
Speaker 1: in that house was built to scale for me because
Speaker 1: I'm five ft tall and so everyone was hitting their
Speaker 1: hands on the overhang, and I said, well, yeah, Mary,
Speaker 1: when he first moved in and he had himself time,
Speaker 1: he had a few concussions, but he's fine that But
Speaker 1: I love that scene in their house and because she
Speaker 1: had gnomes all over her yard. I have two gnomes
Speaker 1: here at my house now. Under my days on Gilmore Girls,
Speaker 1: did you guys lift stuff from the set? I shouldn't
Speaker 1: take anything nothing. Yeah, I didn't lift it, per se.
Speaker 1: I was. I was offered if I wanted to take
Speaker 1: any of that yarn home, and I had a I
Speaker 1: had a young lady living with me from Minnesota who
Speaker 1: was quite a knitter, Rebecca Trout, and so I brought
Speaker 1: her home like thirty skeins of yarn, and she thought
Speaker 1: I was all that different strokes for different folks. Ladies.
Speaker 1: That the popularity of car I read an article saying
Speaker 1: that the uprise in young people wanting coffee and revolving
Speaker 1: their mornings around the coffee and everything had to do
Speaker 1: with your diner, with Luke's Diner, and the popularity of
Speaker 1: coffee happened because Gilmore Girls was so popular, like it,
Speaker 1: it really boosted the whole coffee. Uh. The idea of
Speaker 1: like young people drinking coffee. You know, I had a
Speaker 1: couple of meetings with Warner Brothers business affairs about opening
Speaker 1: a bunch of diners. Oh wow, well those would be
Speaker 1: so popular. Everybody go to Luke's dinner of her coffee. Everybody.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants that experience of having that, you know, corner diner.
Speaker 1: It still might happen. Ladies, thank you so much. It
Speaker 1: was a pleasure, so nice to see you. Thank you. Sally. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're back. Wasn't she fantas? Oh my god? Her purse?
Speaker 1: Like what what was going on? I can't tell people,
Speaker 1: like we put the video of that up because crazy
Speaker 1: crap out of her purse. And you know, they don't
Speaker 1: know it's Sally Struthers. Probably, I mean maybe they do,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people would on a plane. But
Speaker 1: you know, some little kid, isn't I mean, she's she's
Speaker 1: coming with that crawley, that that hand, that that hand
Speaker 1: scratching people grabbing their food. Oh my god, my god,
Speaker 1: they're awesome. What a genius to both of them. Right,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Did you know Rose was like this
Speaker 1: like this serious, like like she joined Second City I
Speaker 1: think in Chicago. Se talented talented, actual like actors. Oh No, No,
Speaker 1: they're they're they're bringing they're they're like, you know, full
Speaker 1: on skill. Just monster actresses. I mean, just fantastic with
Speaker 1: all the they can bring it. They can all bring it.
Speaker 1: So that's why the show was so great. Let's get
Speaker 1: into it. Riley, will you read what episode two was
Speaker 1: all about? This is episode to the Laurelized First Day
Speaker 1: at Chiltern air Day, October twelve, two thousand. Synopsis. Roy's
Speaker 1: first day at Chiltern Prep begins badly when laurel Lae
Speaker 1: oversleeps and accompanies her daughter into the intimidating school wearing
Speaker 1: a T shirt, cut off jeans, and cowboy boots and
Speaker 1: outfit which draws disapproving stairs from the other mothers and
Speaker 1: from her own mother, Emily. All Right, gangs, So let's
Speaker 1: get into it. Laurelize first day at Chilton. Here we go.
Speaker 1: So Scott, okay, right off the top, the jeep that
Speaker 1: was very prominent, the iconic jeep. Tell us about the jeep.
Speaker 1: What do you remember about the jeep? Did you drive
Speaker 1: the jeep? Did the jeep drive? Like everything about the jeep?
Speaker 1: You know that cheap and I think jeeps in general
Speaker 1: have a real magnetic power for some reason. But that
Speaker 1: cheap in particular because it was a sort of a
Speaker 1: particular shade of of of yellow. It was kind of
Speaker 1: a lighter it was like a sort of a lighter
Speaker 1: mustardy color. And it was just everybody gravitated to that cheap.
Speaker 1: We all hung around that cheap when we're shooting at
Speaker 1: uh Loyalized sethouse, and it was always parked in the back,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, man, that's a really cool cheap It
Speaker 1: wasn't like, oh, it's Loyalized jeep. It was like, that's
Speaker 1: just a cool vehicle. So we're like, we're doing like
Speaker 1: an ad for jeeps right now and we shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: But it was like, do you ever eventually drive it?
Speaker 1: I I did take it off set and went to
Speaker 1: lunch with it was like with I think it was
Speaker 1: with Michael Winners. We escaped and you know Michael Winners,
Speaker 1: he played Taylor Dozy my my nemesis boy. We were reprimanded,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, the transpo and and the guy
Speaker 1: that was ahead of transfer. Michael was like the greatest
Speaker 1: guy in the world, just the nicest guy. I mean,
Speaker 1: he goes around the world on missions and that kind
Speaker 1: of things, and just the most charitable, generous, goodhearted, good
Speaker 1: natured guy. But he said, Scotti p Scottie pay. You
Speaker 1: can't take that thing off them. You can't take it
Speaker 1: off the set. I said, yeah, but I was just
Speaker 1: showing Michael Winners always said, oh god, well then and
Speaker 1: get in that case. That's fine, and I said, don't
Speaker 1: do it again. So anyway, UM, what do you think
Speaker 1: of this episode in general? I thought it's set up
Speaker 1: all the conflict for the entire series. I mean, it
Speaker 1: really set it up beautifully. I mean, you've got you've got,
Speaker 1: you know, Emily trying to interject yourself in more in
Speaker 1: Laurelized life and inappropriate ways. But I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: I understand it why she was doing it, and of
Speaker 1: course you want to provide better clothes for her and
Speaker 1: have her fit in and we get her a car.
Speaker 1: She want to ride the bus, you know drug Taylor's
Speaker 1: righte the bus. What are you doing with our our granddaughter?
Speaker 1: We don't we riding the bus? I totally relate that, Um.
Speaker 1: And then the Paris conflict was one of the great scenes.
Speaker 1: Is is one moments in that when when the girl
Speaker 1: that Rory hands her folder off to the girl the
Speaker 1: girl hands it out the window and there's Paris and
Speaker 1: they start going through it. I mean it was just like, wow, okay,
Speaker 1: now we now we're in for it. Now we're in
Speaker 1: for a real ride. Uh. That that we see Tristan,
Speaker 1: you know, he calls her everybody, you know, the moon
Speaker 1: immediately right right, the striking, the striking brilliance of Chad
Speaker 1: Michael Murray. Um, and he wasn't Chad Michael Murray then
Speaker 1: this was like one of his first jobs. No, he was.
Speaker 1: He was just Chad Michael Murray at that time. He wasn't.
Speaker 1: He wasn't like one Tree Hill. He wasn't that guy. Uh,
Speaker 1: but he was destined for that. We knew that, um,
Speaker 1: you know, calling her Mary and then finding out what
Speaker 1: Mary was and Laurel light so so is that legacy thing?
Speaker 1: You know that It was just also great. And and
Speaker 1: the way Laurel I was set up to where cut
Speaker 1: off jeans and a tight eye shirt, the outfit. Laugh
Speaker 1: every time, it's just and the zingers at her because
Speaker 1: of the outfit, like like so rider zero horse and
Speaker 1: then she says, no spurs for Friday night dinner. Spurs.
Speaker 1: I will say, I think moms are rocking tight eye
Speaker 1: shirts and cut off jean shorts to drop off their
Speaker 1: kids at school. Nowadays, I feel like that's totally normal.
Speaker 1: I saw that. I was like, yeah, look about not
Speaker 1: at not in Connecticut, at those places. And then I
Speaker 1: did love the flirty dads scene, you know, with the
Speaker 1: kind of hot divorced dad is flirting. That was really
Speaker 1: cute and you kind of start to see it's like, right, right,
Speaker 1: what's the effect on on on the person that you're
Speaker 1: asking out when you hand in the car said well,
Speaker 1: I'll be in China for a week, and uh, why
Speaker 1: don't you recall you know, this kind of thing, you know,
Speaker 1: trying so hard, don't remember anything about that guy Nick Chinle.
Speaker 1: Uh well, I didn't work with him, but I know
Speaker 1: he's a really good working actor. You know, he works
Speaker 1: a lot, he works in movies. He was in uh
Speaker 1: he was in the Denzel Washington movie. He's really versatile actor. Yeah. Um, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I think all of the best actors that
Speaker 1: were available are all the best actors that we're working then,
Speaker 1: um did our showing was the teacher, So everyone was
Speaker 1: sort of somebody everybody yeah or they're they were well
Speaker 1: established character actors. Or there were stars to be or
Speaker 1: you know up and coming people. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: the people that that did that show. It's like a
Speaker 1: who's who? Um, it's amazing so um. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: the conflict and then the conflict between Luke and Laurela
Speaker 1: I was set up. I didn't realize was set up
Speaker 1: that early. I didn't either. I couldn't believe we see
Speaker 1: flirting between them and even at the end when Laurel
Speaker 1: I says to Rory, do you think Luke is cute?
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh my god, you can't date Luke.
Speaker 1: We will be able to eat, to go to al
Speaker 1: Pancake World or whatever. But you didn't realize it's an
Speaker 1: episode two would be Laurel and Al or Alan Laurel
Speaker 1: what so? But yeah, the stairs and did you Well,
Speaker 1: you're not you can't go out with him, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, writing writing up his ticket ready to the bill.
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't, you can't. You're not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: You can't do that. But I mean that that See,
Speaker 1: that stuff is hard to play because you don't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to tip your min you
Speaker 1: don't want to give everything away. But it's hard not
Speaker 1: to because it's like, you know, that's the scene. Um,
Speaker 1: but it's like you know, and is there a really
Speaker 1: good direction there? Like but but everybody knows in that situation,
Speaker 1: you gotta throw it away. You just have to throw
Speaker 1: the line away because it's already the writing has already
Speaker 1: done everything, or you don't have to work so hard, right,
Speaker 1: you know what? I didn't remember that after Laura lyone
Speaker 1: Roy at the very end of the episode talk about
Speaker 1: do you think Luke's cute? You come. It's like you
Speaker 1: saw them and you come out of the diner and
Speaker 1: you're sort of in the doorway. I mean, it's so
Speaker 1: much foreshadowing of like what we're in for from the
Speaker 1: next years. I was being stalked. It was a role reversal.
Speaker 1: It's a it's it's it's the flipping, the flipping it
Speaker 1: around me. You were a little stocky going out the
Speaker 1: door too. I don't see if they were coming. Was
Speaker 1: not stocky. I definitely got the vibe that you saw
Speaker 1: them and you were kind of but okay, so that's
Speaker 1: the choice that you have to make, right. You know,
Speaker 1: you saw them, but you could make another choice in
Speaker 1: that situation. It felt the flirty flirt felt mutual between them,
Speaker 1: even though it was so subtle. It's like, whoa, but
Speaker 1: are we in for? Yeah, you gotta just lean. You
Speaker 1: just gotta ease way back on that stuff or it
Speaker 1: just comes off badly. It's hard, it's it's hard to play,
Speaker 1: but it's fun. Those moments are fun. I wanted to
Speaker 1: know about the town, so we see a lot of
Speaker 1: we're seeing a lot of the town in this episode
Speaker 1: because they're driving around and they're walking around the town
Speaker 1: is amazing, and so is Chilton. By the way, where
Speaker 1: was Chilton? Chilton is help by Hartford? Isn't it when
Speaker 1: you shot it? Is it on the same lot or
Speaker 1: they have to go the um it is at Hartford.
Speaker 1: I was never there. I think the exterior was, yeah,
Speaker 1: somewhere in l A. But so not on the Warner
Speaker 1: Brothers lot with the rest of Stars Hall. Of the
Speaker 1: exterior shots. I don't I don't believe now, I don't
Speaker 1: believe Chilton was an exterior but interior. Sure, you know
Speaker 1: in the back lot they build out the entire back
Speaker 1: lot of Warner Brothers. It was hours. It was hours,
Speaker 1: and that was the stunning. That was the stunning thing
Speaker 1: when we when we came on for episode one and
Speaker 1: we're like, well, where's our little area of the studio. Well,
Speaker 1: you've got stage twelve, you've got Stage fourteen, You've got
Speaker 1: Stage sixteen, and the entire back lot of Warner Brothers
Speaker 1: has been recreated to look like Stars Hollow. We're looking
Speaker 1: at you, like, what so you know Disneyland on Main Street.
Speaker 1: There's like little hidden secrets like if you know, you know,
Speaker 1: like there's names in the windows. Is there anything in
Speaker 1: Stars Hollow that like you guys hid or you guys
Speaker 1: did that we wouldn't see as a first time viewer,
Speaker 1: but if you tell us then we would notice it.
Speaker 1: I think, well, you know, maybe, Okay, here's this is
Speaker 1: really great. We actually we were shooting. I don't know
Speaker 1: this is season two or three or four, I can't remember,
Speaker 1: but um, you know, the our set was right off
Speaker 1: to our right if you were facing the rest of
Speaker 1: the lot and you're facing Barham, if you if you
Speaker 1: looked off to your right behind Luke Steiner little Caddy
Speaker 1: corner Luke Steiner was the was the e R set
Speaker 1: And it was just kind of a small little thing,
Speaker 1: such a big show. But then they started shooting Batman
Speaker 1: back there and late at night they would do the
Speaker 1: Batmobile and we actually had more power then a Batman movie.
Speaker 1: Just say, guys, we're shooting over here. You need to
Speaker 1: chill with the bloud Batman car so we'll be done
Speaker 1: in a little bit. And then you could and then
Speaker 1: you would go, oh, sorry, you know, so you know,
Speaker 1: we kind of felt our oat slope and then we
Speaker 1: go take pictures with the Batman car. Wait, which Batman
Speaker 1: was it? Batman begins? Is that Bail? Is that Christian Baill? Yeah? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, he's like the greatest actor and you're telling
Speaker 1: him to keep his Batmobile quiet. I know I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't personally do it. No, we were disturbed by it, yes,
Speaker 1: collectively as as a cast and crew. And somebody from
Speaker 1: the crew went over and like waved a finger and said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know you guys. I don't know. I was like,
Speaker 1: you guys weren't supposed to start and we're finishing and chill.
Speaker 1: I didn't personally go over and confront Christian Bale in
Speaker 1: his bat suit and with with my flannel, I saying, listen, pal,
Speaker 1: you know you may have got a big break when
Speaker 1: you were seven years old by Steven Spielberg. But I
Speaker 1: really fought for this so quiet that didn't happen. You know,
Speaker 1: what else we learned in this episode right from the
Speaker 1: start is what Rory wants to be. That she talks
Speaker 1: about wanting to be a journalist, a reporter like Christiane Amanpour.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize we learned that right from the start,
Speaker 1: and that stays throughout too. Um yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: second episode it just sets into motion everything. You know,
Speaker 1: you enter that new world and and all of the
Speaker 1: potential and all of the pitfalls that she's bound, the
Speaker 1: traps that are being set up for her and falling into.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just great writing. You know. You set
Speaker 1: that stuff up for the actors, and and you set
Speaker 1: up the conflict, and you set up the comedy and
Speaker 1: and that's the thing about So here's the thing. I
Speaker 1: am sure that Amy that happened to Amy where she
Speaker 1: went to a meeting and she didn't have any clothes
Speaker 1: and she had to wear something goofy, and you know,
Speaker 1: and or somebody told her story. But but it all
Speaker 1: comes from real life, I am sure, because that's how
Speaker 1: they respond. That's why the writing feels so alive. And
Speaker 1: so real. And that's why I think people because they
Speaker 1: all they've all been in those situations. So it's it's
Speaker 1: entirely relatable. And it's like people aren't just laughing at
Speaker 1: the comedy they should be on on the screen, but
Speaker 1: they're laughing at themselves because they remember the moments that
Speaker 1: happened to them. So it's so it's so it's extraordinary
Speaker 1: in that way. So, speaking of the dry cleaning, did
Speaker 1: anyone notice in the scene where Worline now has her
Speaker 1: dry cleaning and she goes into the house and her
Speaker 1: mom's calling the creepy, creepy, creepy clown pillow. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you guys, we have to put it on the Instagram.
Speaker 1: It's in the background of that scene carrying the oh
Speaker 1: my god, it is the creepiest clown pillow. Look like,
Speaker 1: we will put it on the Instagram. It was nobody
Speaker 1: noticed that, well I could have. I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, what is that? You look at Laurla and
Speaker 1: cut off jeans? When are you looking at? You know,
Speaker 1: the house is quirky, like inside her house, whoever designed
Speaker 1: the set? Can you remember who did all that? Like
Speaker 1: there's so much detail in each thing, like in their house.
Speaker 1: Um at the end, like every little deep Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a crew of people. They didn't mess around, you know,
Speaker 1: they they got the top people, you know. And and
Speaker 1: those see, those are the things that those little details
Speaker 1: as you know, or really really important and captivating, even
Speaker 1: if you don't notice it, like the alarm didn't purr.
Speaker 1: The alarm didn't purr, Like who would think to have
Speaker 1: the furry alarm? The writers that's writing, that's in the script.
Speaker 1: It's all in that clown pillow and that first thing
Speaker 1: that's in the script, it's there. Oh my god. So
Speaker 1: we're looking at the clown pillow. Now it's it's it,
Speaker 1: like you know it like that right right, right, it's it.
Speaker 1: It's it. Oh my god. And that was on the couch.
Speaker 1: Looks disappointed to Yeah, it was on a chair behind
Speaker 1: the couch. In this episode, I think that the maker
Speaker 1: that that pillow gets huge residual checks from just bought
Speaker 1: an island somewhere. We also meet Jackson for the first
Speaker 1: time in this episode, which I didn't remember that Jackson
Speaker 1: shows up this soon. Jackson played by Jackson. So Jackson
Speaker 1: was played by Jackson Douglas, who the time was married
Speaker 1: to Alex Borstein, the Harp Drella. Yes, remember about all that,
Speaker 1: you know, just that he was a terrific comedic actor.
Speaker 1: He he was just this you know, big bear of
Speaker 1: a guy who was everybody's friend and just you know,
Speaker 1: very gregarious, very open um and I always loved I
Speaker 1: always loved we We actually did more scenes than I
Speaker 1: realized together. Um, and it was always great working with him.
Speaker 1: Fun guy. Um. You know, he since moved to Spain.
Speaker 1: He's in I believe he's in Spain now. He took
Speaker 1: I think he took the kids to Spain. Um, and
Speaker 1: wants to introduce him to that culture. So isn't that interesting?
Speaker 1: So um would I'd love to get him on the
Speaker 1: show talk about his experiences over there and what that's like,
Speaker 1: you know, and and living there. So um. But yeah, No,
Speaker 1: he was He was just a he was just a
Speaker 1: good guy to hang out with. Nice, nice, kind of
Speaker 1: mellow guy, but you know, always happy and you know,
Speaker 1: good dude on the set. Yeah, and Kirk is in
Speaker 1: this episode, but he's not Kirk. He's mixed right. Emily
Speaker 1: sent him over to instill the DSL. He's he's bounced.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they called why did they change
Speaker 1: his name. I mean, Kirk is such a better name
Speaker 1: than Mick. But I don't know the story behind that.
Speaker 1: But you know, Sean Gun um who I mean, I
Speaker 1: just think he's one of the most I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: the good thing about doing a podcast is you get
Speaker 1: to have all these people on the show, right, And
Speaker 1: they were all unsung and they're so underrated and nobody
Speaker 1: knows and I think the people appreciate them, the fans
Speaker 1: appreciate them, but they're so skilled and they never got
Speaker 1: any recognition. And Sean gun is one of the great
Speaker 1: uh physical comedians that you that you will see working today.
Speaker 1: The things that he can do other than what he was,
Speaker 1: and he was great as Kirk. I mean, there was
Speaker 1: just but there's a physicality with him. There's a very
Speaker 1: specific physicality and everything he does so technically, you know,
Speaker 1: from from kind of a wonky actor's perspective, just brilliant,
Speaker 1: just absolutely brilliant. So anyway, let's get him on the show.
Speaker 1: We gotta get him on the show. Um, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be right back, Okay, Gang, We're back, And
Speaker 1: I think I think Danielle has a few items for us. Danielle, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like you missed two things from the episode
Speaker 1: and we must cover them. So the first thing that
Speaker 1: was groundbreaking for me, um was obviously Chad Michael Murray.
Speaker 1: But um, there's a point where he calls Rory Mary,
Speaker 1: and I was like, her name is Rory? Why does
Speaker 1: he keep marry? And then they finally like explained it
Speaker 1: were like second there. It was like so lost, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, why does he keep calling her Mary? But
Speaker 1: I did. I did refer to it early in the segment,
Speaker 1: but I kind of ran ran through it. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: so did you not get that? How did you not
Speaker 1: get it? I got it right away. I didn't get
Speaker 1: it either. Get the marry thing. I had no idea either.
Speaker 1: I had no idea either. How did you know? Did
Speaker 1: you go to private because they're so young? They're so
Speaker 1: young and innocent. No, I just figured it out right away.
Speaker 1: Why is this like cool popular guy calling her the
Speaker 1: sweet little thing Mary? Obviously? Really maybe I just know
Speaker 1: mean kids. I don't know no idea what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: To me, it was it was like, you know, like
Speaker 1: the rich kids looking down on the newbie, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call you Mary because I feel like calling your
Speaker 1: Mary and I don't care what your name is kind
Speaker 1: of thing. But oh so the virgin Mary, like the
Speaker 1: little innocent girl, you guys know, I mean it was
Speaker 1: just bad with names. Oh my god. Right, it was
Speaker 1: like the attitude was more of the attitude. Um, I
Speaker 1: didn't get that. Okay. So the next thing, which you
Speaker 1: we kind of brushed over to, but Rory conflict with Paris,
Speaker 1: the fact that she dropped her school project a heart attack, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, why did she do that? Um? And
Speaker 1: then Paris was like trying to be all cool. I
Speaker 1: don't know why, because if I was Paris, I would
Speaker 1: have read it out. Rory it was like, this chick
Speaker 1: dropped my project. But he was like she told the
Speaker 1: teacher that she just didn't have it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what is happening? Like why would she do that? Why
Speaker 1: would she come? But that happened, see for me, and
Speaker 1: that's great drama and common you know, it's great drama
Speaker 1: right there. But it happened all so quickly, and you
Speaker 1: could have you could have dragged that stuff out for
Speaker 1: the whole season, building that relationship up and building that conflict.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you had Paris make that you know,
Speaker 1: the move that you don't make where you show your cards.
Speaker 1: And she got up in her face and said, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make your life living hell because she was
Speaker 1: answering all the questions before raising her hand and answering
Speaker 1: all the questions before Paris had a chance to um.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it was a misstep. I'm not
Speaker 1: criticizing you know it, but it's just like, my god,
Speaker 1: it was just like so in your face right away
Speaker 1: that breaks her project answers the question Paris. It's just
Speaker 1: like you see that Paris is not a cool customer.
Speaker 1: She just got overheated real fast. And it's like Rory
Speaker 1: won the war right away. But it was like, how
Speaker 1: is this going to play out? So it was we're
Speaker 1: left as an audience to see what kind of power
Speaker 1: and how devious can can can Paris get? And she
Speaker 1: the show doesn't beat around the bush around right away
Speaker 1: right exactly. Paris is going to be like fun to
Speaker 1: watch the out this season, like oh god, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: And when we did, uh, I mean that was, oh
Speaker 1: my god. You know, the Paris days were always great
Speaker 1: and and filming you know that Paris scene that you
Speaker 1: know in year in the Life, which I've I've gone
Speaker 1: on record and say I didn't like how it it
Speaker 1: made Luke look but you can't deny the great the
Speaker 1: funny scene and the great acting from Liza wheel in
Speaker 1: the in the Year in Life as the fertility expert. Um,
Speaker 1: very very funny stuff. Um, and she really delivered. UM. Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: what do we have? So the first pop culture reference
Speaker 1: we have, Loria is getting out of jeep in her
Speaker 1: cut off shorts and she says, no, I look like
Speaker 1: that chick from the Dukes of Hazzard. Catherine totally did that,
Speaker 1: did you guys? Remember Dukes of Hazard are only the
Speaker 1: older people. I remember Jessica Simpson. I know that Jessica
Speaker 1: Simpson do so so weird. I remember both. Actually me too,
Speaker 1: and that was a classic line. Classic. The next pop
Speaker 1: culture reference we have Rory's talking to the headmaster and
Speaker 1: when he asked her what she wants to do, she
Speaker 1: refers to Christian Almapor. The headmaster says, not Oprah Rosie
Speaker 1: or one of the women from the View. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: talked about Christian almimpor COKEI Roberts, Oprah Rosie the View. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because because at the time Christian Almimpor was becoming this
Speaker 1: you know, superstar journalist um and Cokey Roberts was like legit,
Speaker 1: she was she was Yeah. Coke Roberts was like number
Speaker 1: one at that time too, you know, they were both
Speaker 1: up there. Sure, So did the View start? When did
Speaker 1: the View? How long has have you been around? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The View premiered a couple of years before that, alright,
Speaker 1: and I think it is still the number one daytime
Speaker 1: talk show. Yeah, so that, like Oprah, obviously works as
Speaker 1: well today as it did then. I mean, Rosie, do
Speaker 1: you guys know that that's Rosie o'donald At the time,
Speaker 1: she had a big talk exactly. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I don't name Rosie, but I didn't know why did
Speaker 1: why did she she was on the View? Why did
Speaker 1: she leave the View? Well before the View, she had
Speaker 1: her own time Rosio Donald. Then she was on the View,
Speaker 1: and then there was that big drama with Elizabeth Hastle Back.
Speaker 1: That was why they with Yes, oh my god, what
Speaker 1: was the drama? Was like, uh, there was some sort
Speaker 1: of incident where Rosie didn't defend Elizabeth and then they
Speaker 1: got into this argument and then they double boxed them.
Speaker 1: So they like put up Rosie and put up Elizabeth.
Speaker 1: So because they sat at opposite ends of the table,
Speaker 1: it was super dramatic. And then this is what happens
Speaker 1: to people that asked for too much money when they renegotiate,
Speaker 1: we're going to do so they had like a real
Speaker 1: he really went at it over something. It wasn't just
Speaker 1: like let's get rid of a how we're doing it. No,
Speaker 1: this was legit. And then I think Rose, I don't
Speaker 1: want to say it wrong, but I think she almost
Speaker 1: kind of had had it. And then she left the
Speaker 1: view and Elizabeth stayed. I don't remember exactly the details,
Speaker 1: but the view reference definitely works. Definitely. Laurel is talking
Speaker 1: about her outfit and her crazy morning, and she says
Speaker 1: I was supposed to look together and fabulous and not
Speaker 1: like I've been up on my playing quarters, which I
Speaker 1: very much understood the drinking, you know, college drinking game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what quarters is. At the end, Lorea
Speaker 1: Lie is trying to talk on the phone and Drilla
Speaker 1: is playing on her harp. Laurea Lie says, Drilla, take
Speaker 1: it down, and Drilla responds, Hey, do I look like
Speaker 1: a Panasonic stamped on my ass? That was funny. I
Speaker 1: mean that character, man, the potential for that Harry and
Speaker 1: they eliminated the character. Was that just because Alex couldn't
Speaker 1: do it? Yeah, because she was too busy? Oh god,
Speaker 1: you know that character. And you know, Alex doing that
Speaker 1: character of Drella would have been as iconic as anything
Speaker 1: on that show, even if she just had one scene
Speaker 1: an episode, because it was so funny. It was so
Speaker 1: and we were concerned when we found out she couldn't
Speaker 1: get out of her contract. That was the first time
Speaker 1: we were all like, oh no, no, that's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big hit. We just took there
Speaker 1: because man, that girl was going to provide a ton
Speaker 1: of comedy and how are we going to replace that?
Speaker 1: And then Melissa McCarthy happened, so they're boomed. There you go,
Speaker 1: that's how you do it. Well. I love she was
Speaker 1: going going ham on the harp and that she was
Speaker 1: undone and it just stops and walks away. Laurel I
Speaker 1: walks by Miss Patties, and Miss Patty is telling her students,
Speaker 1: walks smooth, that's the new Harry Potter on your head.
Speaker 1: If they should drop, Harry will die and there won't
Speaker 1: be any more books. Wow, it was solid because it's
Speaker 1: still totally works and it probably scared the crap out
Speaker 1: of those kids. That's old school, all right. There was
Speaker 1: a good Dixie Chicks reference to which, Yeah, where was that?
Speaker 1: It was when they were called didn't they change your
Speaker 1: name a bunch of times? They're the Chicks now? But
Speaker 1: they definitely mentioned Dixie Chicks in the episode and something
Speaker 1: about that Laura like Gilmore was a stripper name? Who
Speaker 1: said that? Who said that? My god, I just watched
Speaker 1: this episode three times and it's like, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: There's the scripts are so dense you can just rewatching
Speaker 1: and rewatching and rewatch it all right. So so somebody
Speaker 1: in the audience, you just send us the answer to
Speaker 1: that question. Yeah, where did they say Dixie Chicks? Before
Speaker 1: we go? Should everyone say their favorite line? Go ahead?
Speaker 1: Even though I do love the end when we realized
Speaker 1: she has a crush on Luke, my favorite was when
Speaker 1: the already dad guy says, is your husband here, I'd
Speaker 1: love to meet him, not married, I'd love to meet
Speaker 1: your wife divorced, and then she says Shane, it's just
Speaker 1: so fast, but it's so you're like, oh my god, good,
Speaker 1: Who's next? Who's next? Mine was when Laura La was
Speaker 1: talking to Rory about her first day and she says,
Speaker 1: do you want me to talk to you one? A parent,
Speaker 1: a teacher, a big guy named Moose, daughter from Laura Lee,
Speaker 1: and it's my clothes were at the cleaners and I
Speaker 1: had the fuzzy clock and it didn't purr on time.
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, I have to go with the
Speaker 1: Emily line. Uh did you did you drive her as
Speaker 1: your horse tired up outside? I mean, I mean that
Speaker 1: is just like spurs, just brilliant. Just I mean, Kelly
Speaker 1: Bishop at her finest, it's just man unbelievable. Know she's
Speaker 1: doing she's doing a new series. She's she's doing the
Speaker 1: Halston thing with McGregor. Yeah, you and McGregor. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: the trailer is fantastic, It's really fantastic. Um. Yeah, Kelly's
Speaker 1: in that. She's so important in Gilmore world because she
Speaker 1: is such the there's just so much because of her. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know, they wanted to call it I think they
Speaker 1: I think the studio wanted to call it the Gilmore
Speaker 1: Way or something like that, and Amy fought for Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to call it Gilmore Girls. They wanted,
Speaker 1: they wanted a broader title title. UM, but I think
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls are good. Yeah, they made the right call everything.
Speaker 1: I think they could have called it the you know,
Speaker 1: you know anything. They could have called it the cable,
Speaker 1: or could have called at the piano. Kay. It would
Speaker 1: have still would have been a great show. Wouldn't matter,
