Speaker 1: I Am all in again.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's you. I Am all In again with Scott Patterson,
Speaker 2: an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 3: Hey guys, welcome to another episode of I'm All In.
Speaker 3: This is not a town meeting with Tara. This is
Speaker 3: a Star's Hollow journal, and I am with my friend
Speaker 3: Carly Weiseel, who my dear friend who. I was like,
Speaker 3: you went to holidays, made here today? Do you want
Speaker 3: to do a podcast with me?
Speaker 2: Honestly, what would I want to do besides spending five
Speaker 2: hours on the Warner Brothers studio lot today? I was like,
Speaker 2: I can come home and extend my journey into.
Speaker 1: A one on one happily exactly.
Speaker 3: So we just kind of want to do this mini series.
Speaker 3: This is kind of to kick off the next week
Speaker 3: or so where all of us who are going to Stars,
Speaker 3: we'll do a little episode. I myself, I'm going right
Speaker 3: after the New year again. Carly's been there three times.
Speaker 3: I know Mark on our team is going, Scott's there
Speaker 3: every day, Susan's there a lot. So we're just popping
Speaker 3: in and for the people who can't be there, we
Speaker 3: kind of want to sprinkle a little stars Hollow cheer
Speaker 3: into their life, especially this episode daring on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1: So I spell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I smell holiday snow.
Speaker 1: I smell holiday snow. So Carly, you've been three times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been open for about five days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well I have to start.
Speaker 1: What is your favorite thing you've seen so far on
Speaker 1: the lot?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. For me, it's always like walking around
Speaker 2: the gazebo is the thing that hits the most to
Speaker 2: me and I know it like it should be Luke's,
Speaker 2: it should be loraal Liz's house. And while those are
Speaker 2: magical moments, they are they're they're playing the perfect soundtrack,
Speaker 2: Like the music they were playing at this event is
Speaker 2: spot on, and just walking around you were like, oh
Speaker 2: I'm here like I'm in stars Hollow And when you
Speaker 2: layer in everything else, especially what they've added this year
Speaker 2: and now Scott being their daily it really feels like
Speaker 2: a Gilmore Girls theme park in the most brilliant of ways.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned walk the music around the gazebo.
Speaker 3: They have hired a town true Burdoor there all the time.
Speaker 3: This poor man was the day we were there, he
Speaker 3: was playing for hours and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: Okay, I like this, So I feel like what they've
Speaker 2: done is make Stars Hollow an actual place because the
Speaker 2: event this year is bigger than it's ever been before,
Speaker 2: which I'm sure you've covered in length over all of
Speaker 2: these but it really feels alive, not just because there's
Speaker 2: more people there, not just because there's more ground to cover.
Speaker 2: There's literally a woman that they are paying to knit.
Speaker 2: There's a woman sitting in front of a knitting store, Yes,
Speaker 2: sitting And I went with a friend who hasn't been
Speaker 2: before today and he's like, no, that's just a woman.
Speaker 2: She's just like sitting by herself doing a hobbit. And
Speaker 2: I was like, you don't understand. It's the same woman.
Speaker 2: It's the same moment. She's been here the whole time,
Speaker 2: Like that is her job is that she's sitting there knitting.
Speaker 2: And I just love that they have put these little
Speaker 2: characters into place to make it feel so ye that.
Speaker 3: By the way, if you ever talked to that woman
Speaker 3: who's nitting, she has many puns.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. All I know is that I talked
Speaker 2: to her today. I was wearing a Yale spotscher, I
Speaker 2: mean obviously, and she goes, did you go there? Which
Speaker 2: I was like, wait what because everyone starts hollow is
Speaker 2: wearing some sort of like chiltern yale something and I
Speaker 2: was so I'm honestly taking it was the highest compliment
Speaker 2: that this stranger knitting all day thought things was. She
Speaker 2: just read me and was like, oh, you're smart, and
Speaker 2: I was like, girling, no, but thank you.
Speaker 1: You're like, it's the glasses.
Speaker 2: It really is, it really is.
Speaker 3: I also need to mention that Carly recently binged Gilmore Girls. Right.
Speaker 2: Yes, I extremely on the nose, watched it for the
Speaker 2: first time when I was pregnant, and then finished into
Speaker 2: once I had my child. Yeah, And I just don't
Speaker 2: know why I didn't cross paths with it earlier.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It just didn't happen for me in a way. I'm
Speaker 2: kind of sad about. But I have since rewatched it
Speaker 2: twice or three times. I don't exactly know. But I
Speaker 2: love it and I love that I can physically visit
Speaker 2: the show. It's crazy what they've done.
Speaker 1: He jumps on board at such a great time.
Speaker 2: Dude, you're telling me because we.
Speaker 3: As someone who watched it live, like, we didn't have that.
Speaker 3: I couldn't even rewind it. Oh my gosh, I have
Speaker 3: the box set on DVD, like I have all that
Speaker 3: and yeah.
Speaker 4: Did you?
Speaker 2: I mean like I don't, I don't know if you
Speaker 2: saw this part yet, but did you find it wild
Speaker 2: that first of all, there's a Star's Hall of video, Yes,
Speaker 2: in my mind. But they're playing the old ads, like
Speaker 2: the commercials for the show, and it is such Oh,
Speaker 2: it's such a nostalgia rory curtain there. Yes, but you're
Speaker 2: like like when you see this screen play these ads,
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, yeah, like there was a time when
Speaker 2: you had to wait for a new episode. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: really it's really something.
Speaker 1: Yeah did you were you able to do?
Speaker 4: Or?
Speaker 1: I know you're going back again? How many more times do.
Speaker 2: You do it? You don't let everyone know, damp. I'm
Speaker 2: going four times total, which I thought was a respectable
Speaker 2: amount for this year, get considering that I'm out of
Speaker 2: town for over half of its run. But I just
Speaker 2: last year I had such a blast that a bunch
Speaker 2: of my friends were like, take me next time, and
Speaker 2: so we couldn't align all the dates. So I got
Speaker 2: the wonderful gift to being able to go multiple times.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 2: I So I do feel like it's different day versus night.
Speaker 2: I've only done day so far.
Speaker 1: I'm okay, finally, you haven't done it at night.
Speaker 2: I haven't done it at night.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: So we when we did our big event that Matt,
Speaker 3: Dukeree and everyone came out. We lit up the Christmas tree,
Speaker 3: which I believe it happens at five point thirty every day,
Speaker 3: and it literally like the projections on like everything you
Speaker 3: hear Laurelize Boys, Lauren Graham, just the the ambiance is
Speaker 3: so different. Like I remember we went to like Laurelize
Speaker 3: house at night and then we walked. It was just
Speaker 3: like the way it's lit up and the gazebo lit
Speaker 3: up is just so special and spoiler alert, it snows.
Speaker 2: Isn't it perfect?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I So I went the last night last year. I
Speaker 2: basically went, I must have gone twice last year when
Speaker 2: they did this, and my friend Julie and I who
Speaker 2: you also know, we were like, we gotta go back.
Speaker 2: We were like fully on the TV show Loss being
Speaker 2: like we got we must go back, we must come back.
Speaker 2: We let's go back. And so I stalked the Warner
Speaker 2: Brothers studio to Hollywood website for hours or hours to
Speaker 2: get tickets, and they finally opened in the middle of
Speaker 2: the day for the last wow and we snuck in there.
Speaker 2: I mean we paid for tickets. We just like got
Speaker 2: in there and we were able to just walk around
Speaker 2: and enjoy it at night and at night. Like if
Speaker 2: it feels like stars hollow during the day, at night,
Speaker 2: it is something else. And I love that it's an
Speaker 2: attraction of its own, even if you don't go in anything,
Speaker 2: just walking around.
Speaker 1: Walking around.
Speaker 3: Did you get to try any of the food, the
Speaker 3: coffee anything?
Speaker 2: I did the coffee, Okay, let's talk about.
Speaker 3: Through or which one, because I've saw people walking around
Speaker 3: you guys, people are walking around around with jugs.
Speaker 2: Of coffee, ma'am. The Terminus bucket. They were selling it
Speaker 2: by the bucket. She's thirty two ounces. A bit of
Speaker 2: data I did not want to know.
Speaker 1: You're like, can I drink it all?
Speaker 2: As you can tell, I finished my bucket today and
Speaker 2: I will be up all night and it's uh, it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Like I've been walking around holding this bucket talking to
Speaker 2: employees who work here who are like, please keep it moving,
Speaker 2: just being like, why does nobody else sell buckets? Starbucks
Speaker 2: needs bucket, Theme parks need bucket, Like it is the
Speaker 2: perfect vessel to just carry a coffee around. And I listen,
Speaker 2: I know we're in Scott Patterson's house, and I would
Speaker 2: never say an ill word about a coffee, but you
Speaker 2: need to understand, this is incredible coffee. This is incredible coffee.
Speaker 2: And I didn't know him, and I didn't know he
Speaker 2: was an actor and he was just some sort of
Speaker 2: like coffee bean king. I would believe you because the
Speaker 2: coffee is so good. It's so good.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I haven't tried it yet, so I'm
Speaker 1: try it.
Speaker 2: I've had, okay, the candy Cane coffee which they have
Speaker 2: at Weston's Bakery as part of this. I've had it twice.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic and it's not like a syrup. Everyone on
Speaker 2: TikTok line to me because I got and I was like,
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was a syrup. It's just like
Speaker 2: a special blend. You can buy all the beans there
Speaker 2: and it's like a pepperminty coffee and it's so good.
Speaker 2: But the cold brew in the bucket, I'm not even
Speaker 2: usually a cold grew person. It is so smooth, like
Speaker 2: the thing. Everyone keep as you can till I've talked
Speaker 2: to everybody about this coffee bucket. Everybody who I encounter
Speaker 2: keeps being like I usually am not sold on cold brew,
Speaker 2: but this wasn't bitter at all. Today someone working at
Speaker 2: Luke's again, well, I've really been talking to everyone. Maybe
Speaker 2: I am like the town trooper door. They were like,
Speaker 2: I had the oh at the talk fast blend. I
Speaker 2: believe that's like the two times caffeine blend. And they
Speaker 2: were saying they had that, and they're like, I thought
Speaker 2: it would be bitter. Wasn't bitter at all. The coffee
Speaker 2: is so smooth, so you can drink a bucket of it,
Speaker 2: and let me tell you, I recommend that you do.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I when we first walked around a lot, I saw
Speaker 3: people walking around with these buckets and I thought it
Speaker 3: was souvenirs, like I didn't know what it was.
Speaker 1: And then I look close and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's coffee. And then I saw there's so much.
Speaker 3: And then there's also one in Wessins that's a light
Speaker 3: up bucket. Ye.
Speaker 2: Yes, I've been told to buy it. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: restrict myself. I only bought a few Superhm.
Speaker 3: I almost bought it, but I stopped myself because I'm like,
Speaker 3: what am I gonna need this buget in my house for?
Speaker 1: But now I'm regretting it.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know. I listen. I spilled
Speaker 2: a can of Seltzer all over my Stars Hollow Luke
Speaker 2: Steiner's notepad last night, and I'm like, well, I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna have to buy more.

Speaker 3: There's also I remember walking in, well, you weren't there
Speaker 3: at night yet this year, but they do Friday night
Speaker 3: dinner and we walked in and there was some We're like,
Speaker 3: what did you order? Because they were waiting they had
Speaker 3: glass of wine, Like, oh, we ordered like I think
Speaker 3: they said like pot roast or something like you could
Speaker 3: have a full meal.
Speaker 1: I know two people.
Speaker 3: Who did the the high Tea at the Dragonfly in Yeah,
Speaker 3: there is so much.
Speaker 1: I actually, so, now did you do?
Speaker 3: You did the full studio tour and then you get
Speaker 3: dropped off, right?
Speaker 2: I have done both versions now. So I've done the
Speaker 2: version where you have a Star's Hollow exclusive ticket and
Speaker 2: you just go straight to stars Hollow, and I've done
Speaker 2: I've done the studio tour many times. As you can tell,
Speaker 2: I am a big fan of Warner Brothers Studios or Hollywood.
Speaker 2: I did an episode on my podcast Very Amusing where
Speaker 2: I did every studio tour in LA and ranked them.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one was ranked number one. And the fact that,
Speaker 2: like I think we're not talking enough about how this
Speaker 2: is included for free, Like this is you buy a
Speaker 2: regular ticket and then at the end you get this
Speaker 2: multi hour reductivity you get to do. It's really again,
Speaker 2: I love the Studio tour.
Speaker 3: In previous years you had to do the store the
Speaker 3: studio tour, like there wasn't a ticket just to the event.
Speaker 3: So I know this year they did a ticketed event
Speaker 3: that which I'm doing as well. I've done the tour
Speaker 3: many times myself. Honestly, if you have the chance to
Speaker 3: do the tour, it's amazing. Like there's I feel like
Speaker 3: I've seen so many different things. Like back in the
Speaker 3: day it was like pretty little wires set.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, I've done yes, I remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I've walked oh my god, there was
Speaker 3: a show that's airing and I'm lanking on the name,
Speaker 3: but like I got to walk on the set and
Speaker 3: it was dressed up, but there was no one filming
Speaker 3: that day. There's so much to see the prop department.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know what I saw today? I
Speaker 2: saw the Spirit Tunnel from the Jennifer Hudson show. Oh
Speaker 2: tunnel where like the whole staff comes like the song.
Speaker 2: I saw the tunnel.
Speaker 1: Wait, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I know, I was really excited about it. I didn't
Speaker 2: realize that show shot on the old building where Ellen
Speaker 2: was Ellen.
Speaker 1: Yes, I did know that.
Speaker 3: I actually because I've been to Ellen many times when
Speaker 3: she had her show.
Speaker 1: So that's so cool.
Speaker 2: I know I saw the spirit Tundle.
Speaker 3: Well real quick, you were talking about your podcast and
Speaker 3: we don't want to like leave without you pimping it out.
Speaker 2: Oh please? Well, anyway, I ranked I covered theme parks
Speaker 2: for the most part. To me, this is such an
Speaker 2: exciting temporary kind of like limited time with theme park
Speaker 2: in a way that I have just become fully obsessed
Speaker 2: about it. I have done. I think I've done one
Speaker 2: full episode on it at this point, but I love
Speaker 2: it so much. But on that on my podcast, I
Speaker 2: ranked all the studio tours, and this one with out
Speaker 2: stars Hollow ranked at the top. So just imagine adding
Speaker 2: something like this, Are.
Speaker 1: We gonna get a stars Hollow episodes soon?
Speaker 2: I am there is one coming out this week where
Speaker 2: I am like answering questions and just talking about it
Speaker 2: as much as possible. I truly feel like I lost
Speaker 2: my voice recently in case you can't tell, And I'm
Speaker 2: just like in Stars Hollow going wow, and I feel
Speaker 2: like it's just tanked it because I'm too excited. I
Speaker 2: can't help myself.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you feel like was missing?
Speaker 3: Because I don't know if there is anything missing from
Speaker 3: the Stars Hollow this year.
Speaker 1: Like I was thinking about it, and I'm like, everything's here,
Speaker 1: so like.
Speaker 2: I you know, what's I was actually thinking about this
Speaker 2: earlier and then I saw I saw a young gentleman
Speaker 2: at the market working in front, and he was replacing
Speaker 2: plastic fruit and the display of plastic fruit, and so
Speaker 2: it was real produce being bought. And the thought I
Speaker 2: had in my head when I saw him was, Yep,
Speaker 2: we've done it all, Like we're good. We're good, Like
Speaker 2: we have fake grocery employeees placing the shelves with fake
Speaker 2: food like they've done everything they can do.
Speaker 3: It's so funny because on the podcast, so when Suzanne
Speaker 3: and I do our segment town Meeting, we pick apart
Speaker 3: the episodes in the sense of like, hey, did you
Speaker 3: see that background extra like fake eating in the back
Speaker 3: like we did Savage Yeah, all stuff, and half the
Speaker 3: time We're like, man, do you notice how fake that food?
Speaker 3: Or like, do you notice how like shiny that fruit was?
Speaker 3: Outside of Dosy's Like little things like that. So it's
Speaker 3: really funny you mentioned that because it's not real.
Speaker 2: No, and then he was like walking around the street
Speaker 2: with like like as though he was like moving produce.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was just perfect. It was all of it was
Speaker 2: just perfect.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wish, you know.
Speaker 3: The one thing I wish is there was more to
Speaker 3: lauralized house. And I don't know what that would entail
Speaker 3: because for people who haven't been or maybe haven't gone yet.
Speaker 3: So you can wait in this very long line to
Speaker 3: take a picture in front of a lorealized house and
Speaker 3: then you walk in and you go to the right
Speaker 3: and it's Rory's room, and then it's the living room,
Speaker 3: and then it's just a store.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Because there's not much more left to the lorealized house,
Speaker 3: but like I wanted like something in it. And maybe
Speaker 3: that's just selfish of me, of like there's actually know
Speaker 3: what I would love to see Richard at Emily's house.
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, I do feel like I mean, clearly,
Speaker 2: this is a proven concept at this point because this
Speaker 2: year is like the biggest and best it's ever been. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do feel like the next logical step is to
Speaker 2: hook it onto one of the sound stages and have
Speaker 2: people walk the actual sets. Like I think that's the
Speaker 2: next logical progression of this event.
Speaker 1: For well, this is the twenty fifth anniversary. It's like,
Speaker 1: what can they do by year thirty?
Speaker 2: Oh my, oh my god, oh my god. Every tour
Speaker 2: tram just becomes a jeep immediately, Oh my god.
Speaker 4: A jeep.
Speaker 1: That's the way. That's genius.
Speaker 2: And then every time a deer hits you, just like
Speaker 2: every single time.
Speaker 3: The one thing I want to try that I didn't
Speaker 3: get to go to is the speak easy this time.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: Actually I haven't done that either.
Speaker 1: I've heard the drinks are strong.
Speaker 2: I I am so focused on this's Scottie Peas coffee.
Speaker 1: Like I need a cocktail. I did.
Speaker 2: I mean, we texted, you know, but I did get
Speaker 2: to talk to him a little bit today at the
Speaker 2: event and I was like, dude, the coffee is so good.
Speaker 2: He was like, I know, like we were just like
Speaker 2: like really just ragging on the cop It's just really
Speaker 2: it's so good.
Speaker 1: Yea, it's so good.
Speaker 2: In case you can't tell, I had a bucket of
Speaker 2: it today. It's just wonderful and I just love that
Speaker 2: that he's showing up every day for this. Yes, Like
Speaker 2: I can't imagine a world where like you grow up
Speaker 2: with a show and then your favorite character from it
Speaker 2: makes time to see you on a themed backlot.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I say, like watching Scott like interact with fans is
Speaker 3: just so special because first of all, he's he's in
Speaker 3: full Luke attire.
Speaker 1: Everyone he is.
Speaker 3: He's wearing the hat, the flannel every single day. I
Speaker 3: remember when he texted and told us he's gonna be
Speaker 3: there every we were all like every day, Like we
Speaker 3: kind of were like, is that like like hypothetically He's like, no,
Speaker 3: I'm there every day.
Speaker 1: And you know.
Speaker 3: He's taking time away from the holidays from his family.
Speaker 3: I mean actually I think his wife and son are
Speaker 3: have been there a lot with him.
Speaker 1: That's so sad. You know, he's not taking a vacation.
Speaker 3: He's doing this, but it's because he genuinely loves it.
Speaker 3: And like you said, it's so rare to see like
Speaker 3: one of your shows you grew up loving that someone
Speaker 3: is just like from the cast, is there every week
Speaker 3: like it's so cool.
Speaker 2: It's I've I mean, I've been covering themed entertainment for
Speaker 2: almost eleven years now, and I have never experienced anything
Speaker 2: like this. There's never been anything where you were on
Speaker 2: the actual set of the show that has been completely
Speaker 2: dressed and prompt to look like it beyond even what
Speaker 2: they did for filming, because everything's done at the same time.
Speaker 2: And then now you have multiple stars of the show
Speaker 2: coming out just to like talk to you as their characters.
Speaker 2: It's really it's like a mercive theater. It's bonkers.
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Well, thank you for joining me today. It
Speaker 3: was so last night I was like, Carly want to
Speaker 3: jump on. She was like texting me that she was
Speaker 3: at Star's Hollow.
Speaker 2: I mean, I literally got home ten minutes before this.

Speaker 2: I in case you can't tell. I just think it's
Speaker 2: such a special thing that again, I've never seen anything
Speaker 2: like this happened before. And I love it so much
