Speaker 1: am all in with Scott Patterson and I heart radio podcast.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome back on Scott Patterson. This is I
Speaker 1: Am all In Podcast. We are going to recap episode six,
Speaker 1: season one of the Rory's birthday parties. Not party parties.
Speaker 1: She had more than one. Um and listen, if I
Speaker 1: could just take a moment, uh to discuss this, Maxi Medina,
Speaker 1: ranting that I've been doing. I you know, we we
Speaker 1: did a special episode with Scott, who was a lovely,
Speaker 1: lovely human being on top of being one of the
Speaker 1: better jazz piano players. Um of anybody, much less actors.
Speaker 1: But he can play a mean jazz piano. This guy, Uh,
Speaker 1: just a lovely, lovely guy, terrific actor. UM. So it
Speaker 1: was never it was never personal against Scott. It's just
Speaker 1: the character. That's That's what I'm responding to. So, UM,
Speaker 1: you know, we had a we had a nice discussion
Speaker 1: on we made a special podcast out of it, and uh,
Speaker 1: and I feel a lot better about it. I do.
Speaker 1: I he said that he was willing to walk away
Speaker 1: from his job at Chiltern. He for Laurel. I I
Speaker 1: respect that. I respect his perspective on that. I respect
Speaker 1: the choices that he made. I still want to throttle
Speaker 1: him because his arrival don't that's not gonna go away.
Speaker 1: That's always gonna be here. I'm serious about that. Man.
Speaker 1: There's something that right, you know, it's the Scotch Irish
Speaker 1: in me on you know, on my dad's side. It
Speaker 1: just rises up and um and you know he he
Speaker 1: invokes that and so um. But I gotta say, man,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in love with somebody, I I
Speaker 1: can kind of dig where he's coming from. You know,
Speaker 1: it was for him, it was all about romance. He
Speaker 1: was willing to throw it all away. But I still
Speaker 1: have a bone to pick with him. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be watching these episodes and he better be
Speaker 1: real careful. MAXI Medina. I'm warning you. You got a
Speaker 1: little break from Max and this episode I did. I
Speaker 1: got a little break. So let's let's talk about Roy's
Speaker 1: birthday parties because it's uh my god, We're gonna impact.
Speaker 1: We're gonna impact one heck of a show. This this
Speaker 1: so far has been my favorite episode. I mean, it
Speaker 1: is so filled, so filled with conflict, and so filled
Speaker 1: with so many great lines. I don't know how we're
Speaker 1: gonna pick a great line, but there are a million
Speaker 1: great lines in this in this episode. Um. You know
Speaker 1: the thing that really struck me about this episode, and
Speaker 1: I think you guys will agree with me, is is
Speaker 1: the level of vitriol between mother and daughter. I mean,
Speaker 1: between Emily and law I mean it's like and it's
Speaker 1: almost like, I don't know how Emily tolerated Laura even
Speaker 1: from the get go, from the very first scene. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, my daughter, Hannay youngman, everything's a joke, everything's
Speaker 1: I mean, all she's trying to do, is you know.
Speaker 1: I think Richard and Emily got together a long long
Speaker 1: time ago, uh, and have for years, have have sort
Speaker 1: of shrugged the shoulders that acknowledge that lauraize the lost
Speaker 1: cause that she's never going to be pleasant company. She's
Speaker 1: never going to be a loving daughter to them. But Rory.
Speaker 1: They can work on Rory. They can they can get
Speaker 1: it right with her. So everything they did wrong maybe
Speaker 1: or apply the same kind of discipline, of the same
Speaker 1: kind of cultural opportunities. Uh. From their perspective for Rory,
Speaker 1: I think they feel like they're going to save her life.
Speaker 1: I understand though, why Emily makes Laura lie crazy. So
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. But at the on the
Speaker 1: same token, it's like Emily is tough. She's yes, she's
Speaker 1: tough as now. She does a lot of things for
Speaker 1: herself and it drives. But but here's the thing that
Speaker 1: watching this episode, watching just the first couple of scenes,
Speaker 1: I started asking questions, where is Emily from? What was
Speaker 1: her mother, like, what was her grandmother? Like? What what
Speaker 1: is that bloodline like for her to for them to
Speaker 1: produce an Emily Gilmore Where it was just it's a perfectionist.
Speaker 1: It's about manners, it's about appearance. It's about education, it's
Speaker 1: about wealth, it's about being elite. It's about maintaining culture.
Speaker 1: It's about protecting culture. It's about protecting education, it's about
Speaker 1: donating to Harvard, donating to this private schools, this that
Speaker 1: it's about culture, keeping culture, and that's the responsibility. So
Speaker 1: I started wondering where Emily came from and I and
Speaker 1: I must have been And I thought one scenario. Here,
Speaker 1: here's a possible scenario. Emily's bloodline came from nothing and somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody right, and somebody made it to Asian couple hundred
Speaker 1: years ago a woman who said enough is enough and
Speaker 1: education is the key, and I'm going to crack the
Speaker 1: whip on all my children there might hate me, but
Speaker 1: by golly, they're getting into Harvard. And she works hard, Yes,
Speaker 1: she works hard to make it perfect and the perfect
Speaker 1: room and social experience for Richard, you know, and the
Speaker 1: she works hard at that. It's her full time job. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: appearances are everything. And and you know, they're a powerful couple.
Speaker 1: They are a power couple and they have extraordinary wealth
Speaker 1: and that just didn't happen. That happened over generations and
Speaker 1: Laura Lie hates it. Laura Lie hates it so much. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: so the only explanation for Emily is there must be
Speaker 1: something wrong with her. So she's a lost cause. But right, Rory,
Speaker 1: isn't I mean, who gets pregnant at sixteen and has
Speaker 1: the baby when they come from that? Not a Gilmore,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, not a Gilmore and
Speaker 1: it happens them. And it also led me to wonder
Speaker 1: about the origin of the name Gilmore. Where comes from?
Speaker 1: And it's Scottish and it's also Irish and it's and
Speaker 1: it's remolster as well. But if you're it's a Scottish Highlander.
Speaker 1: And you wonder. You know, Scots are the smallest people
Speaker 1: in the UK, the average about five ft eight five
Speaker 1: ft nine. But why is Richards so told he's a
Speaker 1: gil More? Why why he's six four? I mean he's
Speaker 1: a giant. So then I went back and read a
Speaker 1: little history on the region, and Norwegian vikings invaded Scotland
Speaker 1: in seven thirty nine and that was four I mean,
Speaker 1: it wasn't until twelve sixty six or something that they
Speaker 1: got beaten back and the Scots held from and it's
Speaker 1: there's there are a lot of details to go to
Speaker 1: go into this that I'm skipping over, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: really until fourteen seven, fourteen o eight when they got
Speaker 1: their lands back, when the Scott's really got their lands back,
Speaker 1: because somebody forgot to make a payment. Rich Yes, so
Speaker 1: there's that d n A. So I'm thinking, okay, so
Speaker 1: that DNA is in is in Laurela. She's she's fighting mad.
Speaker 1: So there's this sort of push pull thing within her
Speaker 1: to fight against it. She is one, you know, there's
Speaker 1: an identity crisis there. But I think Emily comes from
Speaker 1: really tough stock and she doesn't and She's seen how
Speaker 1: people destroy themselves, and when she sees that, Laurel i
Speaker 1: um antagonizes every single line of her every time she's
Speaker 1: trying to help Rory. At the dinner table, you know,
Speaker 1: Laurel has got a comment. It's this negative comment. I mean,
Speaker 1: in the real world, a grandmother would stand up and
Speaker 1: say leave right now, shut up or leave stop you know,
Speaker 1: stop tittering away over there, because I'm trying to help
Speaker 1: your daughter. I mean, that would lead to a big fight,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't. I mean. The amount of patients that Emily
Speaker 1: is displaying at the dinner table and throughout the episode
Speaker 1: is kind of so interesting. You see it that way
Speaker 1: because I felt Emily did a lot of things wrong
Speaker 1: in this episode with good intentions, but she really crosses
Speaker 1: the line inviting all the kids to the party, throwing
Speaker 1: this party that Rory doesn't want or light. She's trying
Speaker 1: to save Rory. That's her intention. She doesn't want Laurela
Speaker 1: to destroy Rory in her right. In her perspective, she
Speaker 1: sees a glimmer of hope in Rory that she responds
Speaker 1: to me. She thinks, I'm funny. Sometimes I can win
Speaker 1: her over. I can maybe gain a little bit of
Speaker 1: control by giving you know, the post it notes on
Speaker 1: the things, the lawyers coming for the will and you
Speaker 1: can have anything you want the desk, this that right
Speaker 1: and there seene. But it's like they're being very risk
Speaker 1: that's very generous to say something like totally, they are generous.
Speaker 1: Richard just keeps giving the checks for Fez. Here's another
Speaker 1: check for Fez. They're super generous. Emily wants to buy
Speaker 1: her some extravagant mob block pen when really she just
Speaker 1: wants the five dollar bracelet. But Emily wants to do
Speaker 1: things Emily's way. She doesn't bend to what someone else
Speaker 1: wants until she shows up at the other party. That
Speaker 1: was cool, yeah, yeah, yes, But the pudding she's trying,
Speaker 1: she's trying. She's just not good at I think the
Speaker 1: party was. Yeah, I think the party had a lot
Speaker 1: a big impact that I'm like, of course, but it
Speaker 1: was more for me. It was more about I'm a
Speaker 1: strange for my daughter. I don't know my daughter. Maybe
Speaker 1: I need to give my daughter a little bit of
Speaker 1: a break here. Maybe she isn't a complete screw up,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe she's missing because you know, because people
Speaker 1: that live at that level where Emily and Richard live.
Speaker 1: They they don't have a great deal of freedom to
Speaker 1: let their hair down and really speak their minds. They
Speaker 1: don't get to be themselves. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: them are that way because they and I think that
Speaker 1: they both come from a tradition of keeping culture. And
Speaker 1: that's a great responsibility. It's a ton of work. It's
Speaker 1: just what people expect at that level. And it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you have to make a little bit of speech to
Speaker 1: our guests, and you have to say thank you, because
Speaker 1: that's what a hostess does, and um, that's the proper
Speaker 1: way to do it. That's how you have to manners.
Speaker 1: That's what a good high society girl would do. Right,
Speaker 1: manners in general. I mean, it's what it's what separates
Speaker 1: the elite from everybody else. It's it's the level of
Speaker 1: manners and it's and it's but they can afford to
Speaker 1: have those kind of there's nobody else but you know.
Speaker 1: And then she saw right when she came to Rory's
Speaker 1: birthday party, what what regular people do, How they easily,
Speaker 1: how how easily they love each other? Which party would
Speaker 1: you rather go to? I want to go to the
Speaker 1: snooty party, I've been to so many of those other
Speaker 1: parties and they're fun, but I want to go to
Speaker 1: the snooty party. Those are hard to get into, you know.
Speaker 1: But there's something to that, right There is an appeal
Speaker 1: to what Richard and Emily have in that life and
Speaker 1: Rory and we don't want to give too much away,
Speaker 1: but we know that she's intrigued by that life and
Speaker 1: she's drawn to that life, which will see over the
Speaker 1: next few years she likes that. And then yes, and
Speaker 1: it and it and it begs the question was Laurel
Speaker 1: strong or weak? Breaking away from that, she displayed strength
Speaker 1: and weakness at the same time as it possible to
Speaker 1: do that. I mean, what did she do? And she's
Speaker 1: and and and and and Rory is cleaved so close
Speaker 1: to Laura la she won't let her go. She what
Speaker 1: s her up At four or three am, she gets
Speaker 1: in bed, she recites all this stuff about the night
Speaker 1: she was which is a very moving, touching scene. But
Speaker 1: you see that no one, but no one is getting
Speaker 1: near her. Kid, She's nobody. And how about the end
Speaker 1: of the episode, Scott, Laura Lae is devastated when she
Speaker 1: sees Rory with Dean devastated might not be the right word.
Speaker 1: It's new territory for you. She's a little terrified. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that gave me chills even when you just said that.
Speaker 1: It's like, is she worried she's losing Rory or is
Speaker 1: she worried that Rory could become Laura? And what happened
Speaker 1: to Laura? The acting is brilliant because even now as
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, I have like chills because I
Speaker 1: can see her face perfectly and it expressed so much.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, it's right, it's the babette line. What
Speaker 1: are you going to do when she leaves, when she
Speaker 1: goes to college? What are you going to have? What's
Speaker 1: she going to have? And that's what Emily fills in
Speaker 1: the blanks for for all of those types of questions.
Speaker 1: What you have is friends, You have um activities, you
Speaker 1: have fundraisers, you have you know, you want to raise
Speaker 1: money for the ballet, you want to raise money for
Speaker 1: the for the for the orchestra, you want to raise
Speaker 1: money for this or that. Right, you are keeping culture.
Speaker 1: That's what they do. They raise money to keep culture,
Speaker 1: to keep it alive, to keep it high quality, to
Speaker 1: get the great conductor to come visit to or to
Speaker 1: be in house, or to get the top violence, the
Speaker 1: top dancers, you know this kind of thing. That's that's
Speaker 1: what they do. They spend a great deal of their
Speaker 1: time doing that, now that I think about it. They
Speaker 1: need to win over Rory to keep the line, the
Speaker 1: tradition going because Laura Lia went sideways, so she's not
Speaker 1: going to be the heir that they Great Point want
Speaker 1: to carry. The great point. The bloodline is the blood
Speaker 1: thinned out. It's breaking the Laura I considers it breaking
Speaker 1: the neurotic chain. The Gilmore's think it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's the end of us, that's the end of our bloodline,
Speaker 1: and we have a Yeah, they're fighting for the soul
Speaker 1: of Rory so that she comes back to them or
Speaker 1: their way of life. It's fascinating. You know, look, any
Speaker 1: great trauma, UH needs a good bad guy. And you
Speaker 1: know there's a couple of men Gilmore, I mean, Emily
Speaker 1: could be considered a bad guy. What a great antagonist, right,
Speaker 1: Sometimes Laurala I could be considered a bad guy. It's not,
Speaker 1: it's not, it's not. Richard is so kind and he
Speaker 1: just loves all of them. He loves all of them
Speaker 1: and is trying to sort of keep the peace, you know,
Speaker 1: those scenes with and especially when when they arrive at
Speaker 1: the party they're still tent. I mean they just spend
Speaker 1: a day shopping and kind of connecting a little bit
Speaker 1: of Emily and and Laurela. And she was surprised by it,
Speaker 1: and um, she comes in. It's like that dress, you know,
Speaker 1: did you make your daughter a hat out of it?
Speaker 1: I mean, like, what's going on? And I mean it's
Speaker 1: like then now we're back to normal. We're back to
Speaker 1: mother daughter hating each other. And I just don't approve
Speaker 1: of you, and you're inappropriate and get out of my face.
Speaker 1: And the party, despite your desire to go, is so
Speaker 1: anti Laurela. But we don't, I think Rory, there are
Speaker 1: things she likes about it. You know, she has her
Speaker 1: blow up, but like, like you're saying, it is a
Speaker 1: fancy affair, I mean, what do you think she spent
Speaker 1: on that thing? Graham? Really? But that's a lot of
Speaker 1: servants you gotta pay. That's great, the food, the the
Speaker 1: all the detail. I'm sure the embossed invitations and that
Speaker 1: it's they she I don't know if it's a hundred grand,
Speaker 1: but she plunked down some that's expense. It is to
Speaker 1: put on an affair like that, that's no joke. And
Speaker 1: all their friends are there. That's the thing too. She
Speaker 1: uses uses this as her way to not just have
Speaker 1: the kids from school, but all their friends and look
Speaker 1: at us and look at Rory. And she goes to
Speaker 1: children with all these kids. And Richard knows Tristan's grandfather,
Speaker 1: of course he does. But I think, but but also,
Speaker 1: you know, another thought popped in my mind when I'm
Speaker 1: watching it, is they are making these people so abhorrent,
Speaker 1: uh that you know, you say to yourself, no wonder, Laura.
Speaker 1: I didn't want any of the thing to do with
Speaker 1: it because there's just a woman off That woman that
Speaker 1: comes up to Laura. That was the best scene of
Speaker 1: the whole season. So Mitzi, that was genius. That was
Speaker 1: Janius who was that actress? But how great was it.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to grow steps the finger, like where's the servant?
Speaker 1: You know, I've been working on myself a lot, Laurel,
Speaker 1: you know, and since my divorce, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: grow just bringing up Christopher and good for us because
Speaker 1: we get to learn more. Who does that? Let me
Speaker 1: put a dagger in your heart and bring up your act,
Speaker 1: baby Daddy. That was absolutely my favorite scene of the
Speaker 1: whole the whole six episodes so far. I love snapping.
Speaker 1: I watched the Snapping twenty time. I kept replaying and
Speaker 1: I said, this is just this girl's brilliant. This is
Speaker 1: just the best moment of the whole thing. But the
Speaker 1: two of them together, I mean, that was a masterclass
Speaker 1: in comedy acting because it was just so subtle and
Speaker 1: Nuance Day was so great. I mean, I know we're
Speaker 1: going backwards, but the sticky noting the furniture they want
Speaker 1: when Richard and Emily pass on, Oh my god. But
Speaker 1: you would only hope that it would be so organized,
Speaker 1: right and determined, because you know what these things due
Speaker 1: to families. If people aren't detailed about it, you know,
Speaker 1: it breaks families apart. And they want to make sure
Speaker 1: that she's going to get what they want to give
Speaker 1: her answer question Bridget White played was fantastic. Could anything
Speaker 1: be better than Mitsy? I mean, did she did she
Speaker 1: have a recurring role? I think we only see her
Speaker 1: that time. Oh wow, that girl needed to get her
Speaker 1: own series, or she at least needed to have a
Speaker 1: recurring role on the show because it was the it
Speaker 1: was the funniest scene, and you have to assume that
Speaker 1: she was written in for a reason to show why
Speaker 1: Laura ran away this crap. So that's why, that's what
Speaker 1: the character's purpose served, exactly, Tristan's character serving that purpose
Speaker 1: as well. So it's Liza Wheels those Paris. That's like,
Speaker 1: let's talk about here is after this, because there's some
Speaker 1: juicy Pearis stuff in this. Yeah, there's juicy stuff, but um,
Speaker 1: but it's you know, it's a world unto itself. It's
Speaker 1: a world few people really know. Uh, and it is
Speaker 1: it's I mean, I don't know how accurate uh it
Speaker 1: is portraying it that way, but I'm sure it's it's
Speaker 1: not inaccurate at times. Let's just put it that way,
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, I think it's there's a lot of accuracy. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take a little break. We'll be back
Speaker 1: after these messages. Yeah, all right, everybody, we're back. I'm
Speaker 1: Scott Patterson. I am all in podcast. We're getting into
Speaker 1: Rory's birthday parties. This is episode six Rory's Birthday Parties
Speaker 1: air date November nine. Rory clashes with Emily when Emily
Speaker 1: plans a formal birthday party for her. Meanwhile, Laura La
Speaker 1: organized a casual get together to celebrate. Some people have
Speaker 1: called this one of the best episodes of The Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. I mean it's shockingly good and again and
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't mean to be the dead horse,
Speaker 1: but how on earth did this show not get nominated
Speaker 1: for major awards? I mean, it's unbelievably great. Every single
Speaker 1: second of this episode, and this series pretty much so
Speaker 1: far has been perfection, absolute comedic and dramatic perfection. I mean,
Speaker 1: what a what a balancing act, what a show? Um,
Speaker 1: just this one really knocked me out. So I'm gonna anyway,
Speaker 1: So let's get into Rory's reaction. She got a little
Speaker 1: snippy with Emily the party. Wow, she left. I mean
Speaker 1: that was both barrels. I mean that was like, that
Speaker 1: was like an uppercut. That was like a left hook
Speaker 1: and then a right hand over hand right to the nose,
Speaker 1: knocked her out and then just left. Emily was flattened.
Speaker 1: It was just terrible. It was it was shocking, shocking moment.
Speaker 1: I felt she was being a little ungrateful. I she
Speaker 1: took it was it was like it was like the
Speaker 1: Laurelie rising up in her and speaking through her. How
Speaker 1: would you feel you're the sixteen year old you just
Speaker 1: want to like have your birthday. Every kid from your
Speaker 1: schools invited that hates you, that you hate, and now
Speaker 1: your grandma wants you to make a freaking toast at
Speaker 1: at this fancy affair that you're like, oh my god. No.
Speaker 1: So there's you know, there's there's the gap in Emily's process.
Speaker 1: Emily should have had the talk with Rory at the
Speaker 1: dinner saying listen, I'm going to and would it be okay?
Speaker 1: Or I'm going to invite all of your friends? That
Speaker 1: should have been a conversation. I agree with that, um,
Speaker 1: but I think she just does things. I don't think
Speaker 1: she did it in any I mean she did it
Speaker 1: with with a good heart, right with goodtentions. She wants
Speaker 1: were to fit in. And I don't know if if
Speaker 1: Emily is even aware of the tension that Rory's having
Speaker 1: or the conflict that Rory's having at school. She invited
Speaker 1: everybody because that's what you do. That's what you do.
Speaker 1: It's more it's like, hey, we're playing, She's arrived. She's
Speaker 1: to be taken seriously, this is what kind of wealth
Speaker 1: she comes from. Don't even think about not coming. And
Speaker 1: you make that speech toast whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 1: because that's what you do. Because yes, because it's because
Speaker 1: it's really a cannon shot over the bow of the
Speaker 1: other wealthy families that are sending their kids to children's like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're players. She's just not a girl. She see. Rory
Speaker 1: didn't understand Laurel I didn't understand that the Gilmour's had
Speaker 1: their back by throwing that party because they're they're saying
Speaker 1: to the other families, don't mess with this girl anymore.
Speaker 1: She's somebody and this is this is who her grandparents are.
Speaker 1: Don't mess with us. My parents made me come, same thing.
Speaker 1: There's no difference between Harris's parents and the Gilmore grandparents.
Speaker 1: You make this speech because that's what you do. Harris.
Speaker 1: You go to this party we're making and Emily and
Speaker 1: Richards providing Rory the protection, the pedigree that that Laura
Speaker 1: I can't give her because Laura, you know, as they
Speaker 1: you know, Emily probably already assumed that you know, Laurel
Speaker 1: I was being mocked at school and Uh, and Rory
Speaker 1: was getting bullied. I mean, it's it's a no brainer
Speaker 1: for her. So it's like throw that party, send the invitation,
Speaker 1: send a message to everybody. This is who this girl
Speaker 1: is and you can't mess with her anymore. She's somebody.
Speaker 1: So in that world, that's like Emily declaring war and
Speaker 1: the other families and say careful, we have nuclear weapons too,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you give us your
Speaker 1: respect because you're not going to give Laurela that respect,
Speaker 1: and therefore her daughter, our granddaughter, is going to suffer
Speaker 1: because of what our daughter did when she was sixteen
Speaker 1: and had a baby. Now, let's fix this. We can.
Speaker 1: We can't fix it with our daughter, but we can
Speaker 1: fix it with our granddaughter to make sure that nobody
Speaker 1: beats her up. I've looked at it. I see what
Speaker 1: you're saying, and I think you have a great perspective.
Speaker 1: I looked at it. Is the Gilmore's are showing off
Speaker 1: that Rory is not a scholarship kid. We are just
Speaker 1: the same as you all are. And uh, it's kind
Speaker 1: of like flexing Ror like she comes from the right. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is a power move and it's meant to protect
Speaker 1: the Gilmore name. It's meant to protect Rory. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's enveloping her in. They're loving very powerful arms.
Speaker 1: They're flexing your muscle, right, I guess it's don't mess
Speaker 1: with Rory because then ultimately you're messing with your father's
Speaker 1: insurance that Richard sells it and that's global because he
Speaker 1: just got off the phone with China. We're having a
Speaker 1: little trouble with her. Don't mess with the Gilmore's. We
Speaker 1: defeated the Vikings. We absorbed their DNA, which is why
Speaker 1: I'm so tall. We will mess you up. Now. What
Speaker 1: I have a few questions where you Stott. One is
Speaker 1: I'm going backwards again. But what was your opinion on
Speaker 1: the pudding? Um? Yeah, I mean it's it's a great line.
Speaker 1: That's one of the great It's an inspired one the
Speaker 1: great ones. It's like tannam out to hospital food. It's
Speaker 1: her major search. Such a snub. I mean, I'm really
Speaker 1: kind of digging Emily. I really like her. I really
Speaker 1: like her. Um, what was the pudding? Was the pudding?
Speaker 1: Because because because Laurel I likes it, she can't understand why,
Speaker 1: but she likes like was Emily doing it to say,
Speaker 1: I'm serving putting in fancy bulls because you all like
Speaker 1: pudding and I am trying. It's a concession. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 1: it's a concession. Why wouldn't you want him to keep
Speaker 1: coming back without giving you so much crap on the time,
Speaker 1: Maybe laurel I will shut up for five minutes and
Speaker 1: start getting grateful a little bit. But it's like everything
Speaker 1: this woman comes out of her mouth. You know, there's
Speaker 1: laurel Ize saying, really, mom is a really the smart
Speaker 1: you know, she's like a nut. It's so interesting to
Speaker 1: me because you hate Max Medinas oh much, but you
Speaker 1: are always siding with Emily when Emily is tough on
Speaker 1: your girl. Do you know why? I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: Let me make a little confession right here on the air.
Speaker 1: I did not like the way she talked to me
Speaker 1: when she came into the diner. She said, dance from me,
Speaker 1: burger boy. And then he came up to the table.
Speaker 1: And this is after he made balloons in the table
Speaker 1: and and ferrari and all that kind of stuff, and
Speaker 1: all he got was Lukey Will and Softie. You know,
Speaker 1: they don't respect Luke. I felt that they did not
Speaker 1: really respect him. Uh, when they were sort of playing
Speaker 1: around with him. Oh the eighth grade birthday party and
Speaker 1: the cops came. Oh, it was really something. Look, I
Speaker 1: mean they didn't respect him enough to talk to him
Speaker 1: in playing English the way he wants to talk to him,
Speaker 1: you know, the way because he doesn't do all that banter.
Speaker 1: He doesn't do the banter back and forth. He doesn't
Speaker 1: do that stuff. He's not a sophisticated guy, but he's not.
Speaker 1: It's not that he doesn't read. He reads, he knows thinks,
Speaker 1: but he's not you know, Mr chit chatty. Life is Uh,
Speaker 1: it's funny and let's just create funny lines and and
Speaker 1: and go to country club and this it's this country
Speaker 1: club attitude where nobody takes anything seriously. We see the
Speaker 1: same attitude and the way we were It's like, is
Speaker 1: everything a joke to you people? It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: yeah what Emily experiences, Yeah, a little bit. And he
Speaker 1: walked away. He even said, you know, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not listening to this anymore. And he walked away because
Speaker 1: he knew that they weren't. They were talking at him.
Speaker 1: You know, they want to push pole with Luke and
Speaker 1: moral where it's such a fine line because she does
Speaker 1: that ribbing to him, and do that to her. But
Speaker 1: then you're getting a little but hurt by it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not good at it. I go too hard with it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because I I do. I'm
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I know, I'm out of my league
Speaker 1: with this girl. I'm out of my depth. Although not
Speaker 1: when you showed up at the party, because in that
Speaker 1: scene at the party at Oralizes number one, you had
Speaker 1: the ice, which was epic. You're like, you know you
Speaker 1: should always bring ice. Number two, you threw her off
Speaker 1: her game with the will you marry me? Whoa? So
Speaker 1: it's almost like after the diner scene you came back
Speaker 1: and you owned that scene. Yeah they marry me line?
Speaker 1: Huh will you marry me? And then Emily sees you
Speaker 1: two like each other. I mean Emily immediately says, what
Speaker 1: is going on with you and the ice? Man? It's
Speaker 1: like she saw it before either of you were really
Speaker 1: ready to even acknowledge it. Well, there's something about Christopher.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's compare Christopher to Luke. Okay, so
Speaker 1: there's something about Christopher, his rebellious nature, you know, knocking
Speaker 1: Laurela up when they were both sixteen and juniors in
Speaker 1: high school, and you know he went off. I mean
Speaker 1: his life was altered as well. Um, now educate me here.
Speaker 1: I apologize. But Christophers of that ilk, isn't he? Yes? Yes?
Speaker 1: And and I was always surprised And we're getting ahead
Speaker 1: of ourselves by how much the Gilmore's like him, like
Speaker 1: they forgave him. Yeah, they wanted Laura to marry him.
Speaker 1: You would have given him a job. It was the
Speaker 1: next it was the only it was the only thing
Speaker 1: to do to cover the mistake. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: still gonna be uh you know, it was still going
Speaker 1: to be a black mark against the family name, right
Speaker 1: and for sure for Laura la But I mean they
Speaker 1: could cover up that mistake in a matter of years.
Speaker 1: You know, Chris goes to college. You know, he'll go
Speaker 1: to Yale, He'll go to Harvard. Richard will pull some strings,
Speaker 1: He'll end up being a VP at the insurance company,
Speaker 1: and you know everybody will forget about it. And if
Speaker 1: anybody talks about it, Richard will and Emily will crush them.
Speaker 1: So they lost control. Christopher should have married Laura Lai
Speaker 1: because it's what you do. And that the reason I'm
Speaker 1: team Lorelai is because I love that she does what
Speaker 1: she wants. She doesn't conform to any of it other
Speaker 1: than what she wants. And she didn't want Christopher to
Speaker 1: marry her because that would have been ruining Christopher's life. No,
Speaker 1: give me a break, he wasn't rebellious enough. She wanted
Speaker 1: to She wanted Marlon Brando. She wanted to go off,
Speaker 1: way off. I mean, she just wanted to go find
Speaker 1: a guy who was going to rock her world. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: it wasn't Christopher. I think she's saying, I'm not This happened.
Speaker 1: She needed Laura. I needed a blue collar guy. That's
Speaker 1: what she needed. That's what she wanted. That's what she
Speaker 1: wanted when she to get away from that world. I've
Speaker 1: seen it million times. I've seen it a million times.
Speaker 1: There are there's there's a whole u population of kids
Speaker 1: that comes from these great families and they end up
Speaker 1: in New York City or in l A, living in
Speaker 1: hovels and denying where they're from and not wanting to associate.
Speaker 1: And they have they have a different experience. We know
Speaker 1: how this thing ends. So ultimately, I can't argue with
Speaker 1: you because I know you're right. But surely along the
Speaker 1: way you'll we're gonna see it. And we're starting with
Speaker 1: Max Medina, but you know, she definitely is attracted to Jason,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to, you know, get ahead, but
Speaker 1: everyone listening has probably already seen it too. And Christopher
Speaker 1: like she there is something she likes about her old
Speaker 1: life or her a great upbringing, but she rebels against it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's she can't go back. She will never go back.
Speaker 1: She cannot go back. There's just too much water under
Speaker 1: the bridge with her mother. It's just she can't. And
Speaker 1: who knows, uh, And maybe we'll find out this is
Speaker 1: a watch episode, but who knows when she made that
Speaker 1: decision in her life. And she probably made it the
Speaker 1: night she was with Christopher, well before, maybe she was
Speaker 1: trying to get pregnant, so she had an excuse to
Speaker 1: get the hell out of there. And Christopher, I mean,
Speaker 1: Christopher is doing the same thing. He's always rebelling against
Speaker 1: traditional Can you imagine what Emily was like fifteen, sixteen,
Speaker 1: seventeen years ago, eighteen twenty years ago, I mean before
Speaker 1: Laura Lae had the baby. Can you imagine imagine Emily
Speaker 1: with the Cotillion or the Debutante ball or the oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean talk about overbearing. I mean, she's intense now
Speaker 1: and she's a grandmother. Imagine what she was like as
Speaker 1: a young mother. I feel like you're not giving me
Speaker 1: enough about that scene in the entryway to Lorealize with
Speaker 1: the Ice, with the will you marry me? With the
Speaker 1: can you remember anything about that? I mean that scene
Speaker 1: is so at the will you marry Me? See yes,
Speaker 1: because I think it's just basic foreshadowing. I think it's
Speaker 1: just really basic foreshadowing. Um. I think it's it's a
Speaker 1: line that was written to prepare an audience, to open
Speaker 1: up possibilities. Not that it necessarily was going to go there,
Speaker 1: but I think it was something. It was like an
Speaker 1: injection into the audiences bloodstream, okay, like Luke's and play
Speaker 1: maybe Yes. And I think as a fan or a viewer,
Speaker 1: I liked Luke so much. I liked him from the
Speaker 1: very start, and so this is always giving me that
Speaker 1: hope or that moving it forward, like I'm not wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm not wrong when I'm sitting at home going Luke's
Speaker 1: the guy, and then for Emily to see it too,
Speaker 1: it's so vindicating for the fan. You're like, it's very clever.
Speaker 1: It helps the audience to participate in the drama as
Speaker 1: opposed to just watching it. It's it's it's a whole
Speaker 1: different style of writing, especially coming off of the Big
Speaker 1: Max episode. It's like we put a pause on that completely,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, we're like, I knew it.
Speaker 1: I knew she likes Luke. I knew it. But the
Speaker 1: thing is if you give, if you give the audience
Speaker 1: what they want right away, they don't want that. They
Speaker 1: want to be tortured. Will you marry me? It's like
Speaker 1: you just mailed it. And then Emily just being priceless,
Speaker 1: like who's the guy with the ice and why is
Speaker 1: he looking at you? And you're about to give him
Speaker 1: a lap dance and it's just like, but he gave
Speaker 1: when she when she invited him to the party, he
Speaker 1: was pleased. He doesn't smile a lot, and he smirked
Speaker 1: a little, like, wow, I got invited. That was a
Speaker 1: big deal for him because I remember how I played.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, be really happy, but cover cover, cover,
Speaker 1: let a little smile out. That's exciting for him. He
Speaker 1: gets he gets to be invited because not a lot
Speaker 1: of people are inviting him anywhere. He's going to town
Speaker 1: hall meetings because everybody goes. But it's like, is he
Speaker 1: being invited to a lot of places. He's you know,
Speaker 1: he's grumpy, luke um. And just the ice, I mean,
Speaker 1: the fact that she was getting in the car to
Speaker 1: go get the ice and here comes loose the ice.
Speaker 1: It's like that was so major. It's like he knows
Speaker 1: what she needs, whereas in the world she comes from,
Speaker 1: they shove it down your throat and they tell you
Speaker 1: what you need. Here in this world, their actual feeling
Speaker 1: beings who maybe really care about who I am, and
Speaker 1: they will give me what I need, the little things
Speaker 1: important we haven't even talked about yet. The party at
Speaker 1: Lower Lies, it really sums up stars hollow, and that
Speaker 1: these people have all known each other and they know
Speaker 1: Rory since she was born, and this is a family.
Speaker 1: And that's why Emily is sitting in that wing chair
Speaker 1: to the side going just blown away. I missed all
Speaker 1: of this and these people are her people. She felt powerless,
Speaker 1: and she put down her sword a little bit. She
Speaker 1: just kind of like a zombie, walked upstairs to just
Speaker 1: look at her room. She just she was that was
Speaker 1: she was on a Columbo. She was Columbo and the
Speaker 1: whole time. So she went upstairs. It's all the broken
Speaker 1: leg photo. I didn't know you had a broken leg. Well,
Speaker 1: if you know, look, if I had something really serious,
Speaker 1: you would have known. But it was just a broken leg.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, wow, there's there's so much.
Speaker 1: And Rory gets Richard. Rory gets Richard so well. She's like,
Speaker 1: here's the Cosmo magazine. Do the quiz? Are you a winner?
Speaker 1: It's like she gets him and he likes her so much.
Speaker 1: They are and he says, and I loved his his reaction, Well, Rory,
Speaker 1: I discovered that I am an autumn. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: so they're so cool together. It's a great dynamic with
Speaker 1: those two. There's nothing for her not to love about
Speaker 1: her grandparents except that, you know, and I think she
Speaker 1: kind of stays out of the Ted for Ted bickering
Speaker 1: between the two of them at the dinner table or ever.
Speaker 1: But it's just I think she's, you know, she really
Speaker 1: loves her grandma. She wants to love her grandparents, and
Speaker 1: she loves Richard. She loves Emily, but she really wants
Speaker 1: her I think she's starting to learn that they have
Speaker 1: loyalty to Rory, they have her back, which, as we
Speaker 1: all know, as we go on, we will see that
Speaker 1: more and more. And I think we're seeing the important
Speaker 1: beginnings of that. Yeah, and I want to go and
Speaker 1: I want to go back to there was a scene
Speaker 1: in the diner where Rory comes up with Lane and
Speaker 1: I and the balloons could die like this is adorable.
Speaker 1: So I'm in a foul mood right again. I'm in
Speaker 1: a foul mood, and I'm thinking, Jesus, this guy is
Speaker 1: in a foul mood any kind of snippy at Rory
Speaker 1: and well, these stupid balloons I had to blow up
Speaker 1: and then go to sit over you get out of here.
Speaker 1: You know what he was pissed about. It was again
Speaker 1: this this the wealth gap. It's like you and your
Speaker 1: mom are from this world. I'm trying to overcome that.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1: I love you, guys. I love you Laurela, I love
Speaker 1: you Rory. I want to be a part of that.
Speaker 1: I want to help raise you. I want to help
Speaker 1: and I have helped raise you, but I want to
Speaker 1: be you know, I want to make a family with
Speaker 1: you guys, and do you play with me? And you
Speaker 1: mock me at the table, and you don't talk to
Speaker 1: me with respect, And yet here I am delivering ice
Speaker 1: and doing this and and and um blowing up balloons
Speaker 1: and making your cake, and yet you won't even talk
Speaker 1: to me like I'm a real person when I'm serving
Speaker 1: your food. That really got your goat. That was the
Speaker 1: next morning, and and he was just like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I felt like they just have that
Speaker 1: sort of snanarchy pitter pattern back and forth. But because
Speaker 1: you are Luke, ultimately like you feel what Luke feels,
Speaker 1: you look at it in such a different way where
Speaker 1: I really am watching always from moralized perspective. Why is
Speaker 1: Luke always grumpy? Answer the question why is he grumpy?
Speaker 1: He's not. He's grumpy because he's in love with a
Speaker 1: woman that he can't get, who doesn't really respect him.
Speaker 1: Who And I've been in this situation where somebody said
Speaker 1: to me, I can't take you seriously at one point
Speaker 1: in my life when I before I became successful. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't take you seriously. You don't even make fifty
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Yeah, I've heard that. I've heard that,
Speaker 1: and and and that's kind of how he feels. It's like,
Speaker 1: she'll never take me seriously. The daughter doesn't take me seriously.
Speaker 1: And I'm grumpy because I'm never going to get this
Speaker 1: woman because she's gonna date a million guys and now
Speaker 1: she's with this Max guy. And every time he resolves
Speaker 1: it in his own mind just to sort of all right,
Speaker 1: screw it, except it. You know, that's an important had
Speaker 1: this like oprah aha moment because here I am looking
Speaker 1: at it six episodes. He's only liked her for six episode,
Speaker 1: But I'm so wrong that I was looking at it
Speaker 1: like that. He's liked her for a decade, sixteen years. Okay,
Speaker 1: so four seasons in he finally kisses her there, finally,
Speaker 1: you know, it finally happens. That's twenty years he's been
Speaker 1: sitting there twenty years in love with that woman, yeah,
Speaker 1: and not feeling worthy and being you know, knowing that
Speaker 1: the uh, the gap in class and wealth and is
Speaker 1: keeping them apart because he's terrified over. He's terrified over.
Speaker 1: I literally just realized because when you first said it
Speaker 1: in this conversation, you're like, why do you think he's rumpy.
Speaker 1: It's because he's in love with her. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: Scott's being so like dramatic, and now I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, you've loved her since she moved to stars Hala.
Speaker 1: Why yell? Why yell at Suki with so much ferocity
Speaker 1: for being behind the counter and then getting a laulized
Speaker 1: face and say, next time you bring her in here
Speaker 1: and put her on a chain. It's it's like, it's like,
Speaker 1: f you to where you come from. F Max Medina,
Speaker 1: F your conversations that I can over here. You don't
Speaker 1: even have enough respect for me not to talk about
Speaker 1: this stuff when I'm serving you and I'm been in
Speaker 1: love with you for you know, six years. Didn't it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's it's amazing the guy didn't explode
Speaker 1: before season two spontaneously completely issues. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: need to ask you about this, because I do think
Speaker 1: Paris and Rory had a bit of a breakthrough. When
Speaker 1: Paris said, nice party, you don't like Tristan? Do you
Speaker 1: like that? Or do you like Tristan? That was pretty major.
Speaker 1: And the ice is like speaking of ice, ice man,
Speaker 1: The ice between them is thawing a little bit. Uh yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's really you know, Paris is
Speaker 1: beginning to realize that this rival could win, and she
Speaker 1: is winning. She's hey, she's better looking, she's a very
Speaker 1: attractive young girl. She's as smart, if not smarter. She
Speaker 1: appears to harbor no resentment against anyone. She's a very pleasant, pleasing,
Speaker 1: open personality. She's a vulnerable person. She's not like me,
Speaker 1: so she's better than me. Paris knows that Rory is
Speaker 1: a better version of a human way, and she's seeing
Speaker 1: that Tristan's paying attention to Rory, and Paris likes Tristan,
Speaker 1: So why better to keep your friends close and your
Speaker 1: enemies closer. She's like, I better get close to this
Speaker 1: girl so I can stop her from liking the dude.
Speaker 1: I like another manipulator over there at Chilton. It's like Jesus, course, Paris,
Speaker 1: who you'd expect to be smarter, falls for Tristan. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh god, how does anybody fall from? I mean, what
Speaker 1: an episode? You know you like me, Mary, stop fighting it.
Speaker 1: You know you know we're going to go out. You
Speaker 1: know you're gonna love it. It's like wow, that's like really,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and we forgot another major thing, the
Speaker 1: freaking bracelet. It's the first appearance of the bracelet. That's
Speaker 1: one of the best lines in the whole thing. Isn't
Speaker 1: this something that you would buy a car wash? You
Speaker 1: want me to get her something that you would find
Speaker 1: it a car wash, not that bracelet. That bracelet there.
Speaker 1: I forgot. There's two bracelets. She bought the bracelet. What
Speaker 1: talking means bracelet? Oh no, no, I thought you were
Speaker 1: talking about Rory's bracelet. I know I messed up. You're right,
Speaker 1: it is right. There's that looks like something about a quarter?
Speaker 1: Was it? What did he drill a hole in a quarter?
Speaker 1: What did he say? He said he found the it
Speaker 1: was a coin. It was a coin. It was it
Speaker 1: was It was not a quarter. Could have been like
Speaker 1: a what was it, susan b m any dollar? It's
Speaker 1: like it wasn't it was a quarter. Did anyone see
Speaker 1: the clown pillow? I didn't see it. I did look
Speaker 1: for it. I did. I'm now I'm trained to look
Speaker 1: for it. I didn't say it. Um, But anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how you make a
Speaker 1: better episode than that. I really don't. All right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a break. We'll be right back. All right, everybody,
Speaker 1: we're back. Scott Patterson here, I am all in podcast.
Speaker 1: I hurt radio Riley. Where are we going? Let's go
Speaker 1: to pop culture. Let's do it, Emily says, my daughter,
Speaker 1: Henny Youngman. Is that because take my wife? This is
Speaker 1: you know. My wife came to me and said, I
Speaker 1: want to go someplace I've never been, so I gave
Speaker 1: her directions to the kitchen. You're a great audience, everybody,
Speaker 1: You're lovely. And the king of the one liners. He
Speaker 1: would stand up there for hours. Well I think he
Speaker 1: would stand up there for an hour and just do
Speaker 1: one liners and people would just fall over. They'd fall
Speaker 1: over their tables. They'd lave and so hard. You guys.
Speaker 1: The Rory says, you couldn't get her to cave Lorrea
Speaker 1: l I says no, but she agreed to make a
Speaker 1: string quartet of like a Virgin Madonna, I mean Madonna Madonna.
Speaker 1: Lorea I says not really. The government will close that day,
Speaker 1: flags will five hat mass Barbera streisand will give her
Speaker 1: final concert again, right which I think Barbera Streisen is
Speaker 1: still giving her final performance. She's still prepping twenty years later. Like,
Speaker 1: I love Babs. What a singer, right, Oh, what a singer.

Speaker 1: look at it. Had dinner with him one night. He's
Speaker 1: kind of cool, right, He's kind of cool. He's a
Speaker 1: cool guy. But I mean it wasn't it was at
Speaker 1: a party. But it was a dinner party and he
Speaker 1: was there. Was it a snooty affair or was it
Speaker 1: more like a party of I think they were trying
Speaker 1: to have a snooty affair. It was in Beverly Hills,
Speaker 1: but it was. It was. But he was a cool guy.
Speaker 1: He was. He was really cool guy. He was very up.
Speaker 1: He scored, He scored with Babs. I mean, way to go.
Speaker 1: She continues. However, Elvis and Jim Morrison are coming in
Speaker 1: the brain chips. Well, everybody knows Elvin, Elvis and uh

Speaker 1: wasn't her. I mean, the chances that it was her,
Speaker 1: I mean, why would somebody that young be calling somebody
Speaker 1: in their early forties. Because maybe she just loved Gilmore.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah. She said, it was a pleasure encountering you, Scott.
