1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: I Am all In.

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: I Am all In with Scott Patterson, an iHeartRadio podcast.

3
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, Scott Patterson, I Am all In podcast one

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: on one interviews. We're going to speaking with Molina Delkicch.

5
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Let me tell you a little bit about her. She

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: is a senior staff editor for Breaking News. She's worked

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: at The New York Times since twenty eighteen. Her roles

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: include newsletters, business desk, the newsroom, print hub, and contributing

9
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: to coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. She has written an

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: article on editorial that appeared in The New York Times

11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: talking about Gidmore Girls. Fascinating article, Melina, what inspired you

12
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: to write it now?

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've always loved Gilmore Girls. Every once in

14
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: a while you get to write about something that you

15
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: really love and are interested in, and so this was

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: a fun one for me, and I thought it was

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 3: interesting that with viewership data that had been coming out,

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 3: it's still one of the most popular shows across streaming,

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: both by Netflix's numbers and Nielsen, which is the ratings firm.

20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: If listeners don't know that rates, you know TV and

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: movies and streaming popularity, and it's still one of by

22
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 3: far the most popular things that people like to watch,

23
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: and so with my own interest in it and that

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: I wanted to see why it's still so popular because it,

25
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: as you know, officially wrapped in two thousand and seven,

26
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: besides a year in the Life reboot.

27
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: And what conclusions did you draw?

28
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: Well, I think it was a mix of conclusions. I

29
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: think people love the show because it's feel good and

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: it makes you feel kind of and fuzzy and people,

31
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: you know, people I interviewed, like like Brenda Maybin, the

32
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: set costume designer who who said that, you know, people

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: like that there's no violence, there's no there's nothing that's unsolvable,

34
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: and it's going to stress you out about watching it.

35
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: It's comforting, but at the same time it is you know, deep,

36
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: there's deeply intertwined relationships, there's really interesting characters who are

37
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: multi layered and complex and and you know, so it's

38
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: it's that fun, fun, lightheartedness, but at the same time

39
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: it's there's there's some real depth there and some heart

40
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: to it.

41
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: That family dynamic is very powerful, isn't it. Anybody can

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: relate to it the mother daughter tension. Yes, And well,

43
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: as you said, the byline you are on your seventh

44
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: or eight time watching. Why have you watched so many times?

45
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Why do you think people watch so many times?

46
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: That's a great question. So for me, I started watching

47
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: when I was in college actually, so, you know, similar

48
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: to a lot of people, after the show had concluded

49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: it's run on TV, it was on Netflix and a

50
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: friend of mine said, you know, you have to watch this,

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: You're going to love it. And after that first time,

52
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: I was kind of hooked, and I was like, I

53
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: want to see it again. I feel like I missed something.

54
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: I you know, I want to when when things are stressful,

55
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: I want to have it on in the background, or

56
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: you know, just rewatch and find things I missed last time.

57
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 3: And I think for for people, I think even though

58
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: I put that I've rewatched it seven or eight times,

59
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: I think that's actually low for the Gilmore Girls audience.

60
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: I've found people have left comments on the article on

61
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: social media and on the article page itself, and my

62
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: friends have reached out that there's way higher numbers. People

63
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: are watching it dozens of times, and I think it's

64
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's because it's it's that comfort.

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: It's there's also even a psychological aspect to it. I

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: talked to a clinical psychologist that rewatching a show you

67
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: love that makes you feel good and you know how

68
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: it's going to end, it makes it can actually, you know,

69
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: improve your mood. It can it can help you when

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: you're feeling lonely or or you know, any any tough

71
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: feelings in a stressful time. It can actually help those feelings.

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: You know.

73
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: I also think it it contributes to keeping high culture.

74
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: I think it's so smart that and I think that's

75
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: one of the primary reasons people rewatch it so often,

76
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: because there it's so fast, that fast paced dialogue, and

77
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: there's so many obscure and arcane cultural references that people

78
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: don't get them right away. They get some, and I

79
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: get some, and then I go back and I, boy,

80
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, say to myself, Amy and Dan are very

81
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: well read, and you know they're they're plucking these references

82
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: out of everything that they love and read. And I

83
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: think it's comforting to have something of quality that is

84
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: keeping the culture or trying to set a bar higher

85
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: and not talking down to an audience, not dumbing a

86
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: show down for an audience. I think it really elevates

87
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: people and it gives people a lot of hope in

88
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: that sense that at least there's something on television that

89
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: doesn't insult me. Yeah, and insult my intelligence. It's it's

90
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: demanding me to keep up, and people love that challenge.

91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: I totally agree.

92
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Well, you're also rewatching, as you said, it could be

93
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: a healthy coping mechanism. Mechanisms life gets stressful. When do

94
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: you tune in to watch this show? Is it in

95
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: you stressful times or just any time? Do you have

96
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: it on in the background all of the time.

97
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: That's a great question. I think I've found that I

98
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: gravitate toward Gilmore Girls in the fall, which a lot

99
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: of people I talked to for this article said the

100
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: same basically, And the viewership data supports that that it's

101
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: the viewer is a little bit higher in the fall

102
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: and winter months because it is kind of that cozy

103
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: you want to go to Luke Steiner and get your

104
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: coffee and like all the fun sweaters that are in

105
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: the in the you know, costuming of the show and

106
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: the festivals and the so it makes you feel like

107
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: fall and winter and these cozy vibes. So I find

108
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: myself watching it in those times here in New York.

109
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 3: It gets gloomy sometimes in the winter, and I find

110
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: it really cozy and helpful, but also definitely, you know,

111
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: in stressful times or if I'm in a in a

112
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: new place, you know, traveling for work or something, it's

113
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: it's kind of comforting. I will turn to it in

114
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: those times and have it on, like, Okay, this is

115
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: something I know and something I feel good watching.

116
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost as if you are able to instead

117
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: of picking up a classic novel that you love, you

118
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: can just turn that on and you're going to get

119
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: the same kind of almost the same kind of quality.

120
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: You don't feel like you're watching TV. You don't feel

121
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: like you're wasting your time or it's just dead time.

122
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's like I'm learning something here, and this

123
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: is this is wholly engaging. So you talked about the

124
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: first time you watched it was in college. Where'd you

125
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: go to college?

126
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: I went to Georgetown in DC.

127
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: Oh you went to Georgetown.

128
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: Oh?

129
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: My, one of my best buddies went to Georgetown. I

130
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: grew Paul. He was just over here the other day

131
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: telling me Georgetown stories. By the way, And so you

132
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: were in college, do you remember the moment you watched it?

133
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: Describe the day. Do you remember the vivid detail about

134
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: the first time you discovered it.

135
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: I do remember. I remember my friend Maddie and I

136
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: texted her when I was published this article to say,

137
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: thanks for turning me on to this wonderful show. And

138
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: I was I was staying on campus over the summer working. Basically,

139
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: you could work at campus job and it'd give you

140
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: free housing in DC for the summer, so it was

141
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: it was a pretty sweet deal. And I had some

142
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: downtime between these jobs I was working, and I would

143
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: put it on and campus is a little quieter in

144
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: the summer, you know, not the kids aren't there. And

145
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: I remember putting it on and just getting so quickly

146
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: wrapped up in all of the character's stories and in

147
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: the beautiful relationship between Rory and Laura l I and

148
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: and the fun you know references, and I remember like

149
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: I would like pause it sometimes and be like, wait,

150
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: what is that like that reference that they just said,

151
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: I need to go look it up? And yeah, and

152
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: I remember, and you know, I'm a journalist, so there's

153
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: obviously it was a fun kind of parallel that I

154
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: saw someone trying to start a journalism career or a

155
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: young a young woman trying to go into that world,

156
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: and I was going into that too, So it's fun

157
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: to relate to someone on screen.

158
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: Shaw, Yeah, perfect for you, Absolutely right in your whalehouse.

159
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

160
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, as you said, Rory is an aspiring journalist,

161
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: so you obviously connected with her character the most. To

162
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: she your favorite character.

163
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: That's such a tough question. It's oh, man, I love

164
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: all of the characters so much at this point, and

165
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: I don't. I do feel like at the beginning I

166
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 3: really related to her and probably was drawn to watching

167
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: because of her character and Laura I, but I really

168
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: love all that. Recently I've been I was talking to

169
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: a friend the other day about how I really love

170
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: Paris Galer's character. And I know that the first time

171
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 3: you watch it as a you know, as a new viewer,

172
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 3: you're kind of like you might be turned off by

173
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: some of the things that she says. She's kind of

174
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: you know, it can be it can be abrasive as

175
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: a character, but then then you just kind of, I think,

176
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: rewatching it can kind of fall in love with her

177
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: at moments where she just she just says the funniest

178
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: thing ever. And but I mean, but yeah, I just

179
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: love I mean, everybody in the town of Stars hollow

180
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 3: just so great.

181
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was my initial reaction because it's the whole

182
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: point of podcast. I'd never watched the show, so I

183
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: didn't really know the show. And yeah, I would talk

184
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: about the need for Paris to have intensive therapy and

185
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: to not be in the mainstream. But she has grown

186
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: on me. There have been a lot of moments where

187
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: I just you know, throw my head back and laugh. Yeah,

188
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: and she's quite endearing at times, so it's a playing

189
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: those extremes. Do you have and I cautioned to ask

190
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: you this, and you don't have to be honest, do

191
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: you have any career parallels to her storyline? Paris Is storyline?

192
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: Oh to Paris. Yeah, well Paris, I you know, that's

193
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: that's a hard one because I mean she was in

194
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: a different career path. She ended up being like what

195
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: like a combination lawyer doctor or something, which which was like, oh,

196
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: of course, you know, Paris Scholler went down that path.

197
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: But I don't know. I you know, I do feel

198
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: like there's there's a little bit of that that Paris

199
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: ambition or spark in a lot of people, but most

200
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: of us don't push that hard as her character. Did

201
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: you know? But but yeah, I can't say I quite

202
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: approach situations the way she does.

203
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 4: Well, that's probably a good thing.

204
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: When did you know that you wanted to be a journalist?

205
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: It took some time of figuring it out and trying

206
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: a lot of different paths. I think I probably stressed

207
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: out my parents in college because I can't. I switched

208
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: my major like four times, and it was you know,

209
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: trying out econ, trying out different languages. But I always

210
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 3: in the background had that love of writing and also

211
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: was just always the news and slowly realizing that instead

212
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 3: of you know, being involved in it. As a school

213
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: in DC, a lot of people want to get involved

214
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: in the government, politics, things like that, and I just

215
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: kind of kept thinking, I don't want to be in it.

216
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: I want to be like observing it and you know,

217
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: helping helping write kind of the historical you know, record

218
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: about this stuff. And so that's how I made my way.

219
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: But it took a lot of small decisions and figuring

220
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: out what I what I needed.

221
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: And boy, I tell you Washington, Yeah, the time to

222
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: be a journalist. Yeah, and we won't open up that

223
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: can of worms.

224
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, to be fair, now, I don't really deal

225
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: with any politics or government news in my job.

226
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Probably healthiest. So The New York Times plays a big part.

227
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: In season seven, Rory turns down a job with a

228
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: new newspaper in Providence, wrote on because she's holding on

229
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,119
Speaker 1: to well, she's holding out for the rest and fellowship

230
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: at the New York Times. What'd you think of this decision?

231
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: I was so with her in that season. I remember

232
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: just feeling the pressure the uncertainty of that, especially watching

233
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: it in college and in the years right after college,

234
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: because it is so I think with any career, it's

235
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: kind of you have these moments where the timing doesn't

236
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: work out the way you want it to. You don't

237
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: get to find out everything you need to find out.

238
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: You might have a job offer, but one that you

239
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: you know, and there's a deadline for it, but one

240
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: that you want more. And so I felt I felt

241
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: like it was a very very thoughtful and good representation

242
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: of what that's like as a young journalist. I think,

243
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: you know, I think she obviously like that. It was

244
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: a difficult time for her character. I remember she ended

245
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: up then not getting the New York Times fellowship, right,

246
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: If I'm remembering correctly that she had turned basically was

247
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: out of a job with both of those, but then

248
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: she ended up finding something else, and I don't remember

249
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: if it was right after that, but she ended up

250
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: going to work for an upstart publication of some sort

251
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: covering the election campaign. And I thought that was kind

252
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: of you know, I thought I related to that, because

253
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: sometimes it seems like nothing is working out, and you know,

254
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: you don't know like where your path is going to lead,

255
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: and even though it's early in your career, you have

256
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: these moments of struggle and the timing is just not

257
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: working out. But then something does work out, and it's

258
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: kind of it seemed like it was sort of a

259
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: great fit for her as an ending of that show,

260
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: and it seemed like it ended on a really hopeful

261
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: note where she was going to go travel and right

262
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: for this new publication and her work was going to

263
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: be valued, and so I think she ended up making

264
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: the right call for herself.

265
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: And you're talking about the end of season seven or

266
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: the Netflix.

267
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: Episodes the end of season Steven, Okay, am I confusing that?

268
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: I remember there was a she I thought at the

269
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: end of the show that she went to go work

270
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: for like the kind of upstart digital publication to cover

271
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: the election.

272
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about the Netflix episodes a little bit.

273
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: As regards Rory, were you disappointed that her journalism career

274
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: didn't pan out. Did you think it was realistic when

275
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: she was showing so much promise?

276
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: You know, I was. I think the first time I

277
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: watched that, I was a little disappointed in that we

278
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: had been with Rory and watched her be so ambitious

279
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: and so in such a go getter, and I had

280
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: dreamed of this her whole life. There's that moment with

281
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: Christian I'm on poor and then she kind of it

282
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: didn't take off, maybe the way I would have predicted

283
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: when I was, you know, twenty two, and I'm like, oh,

284
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: I want this for Rory. But I think it's realistic

285
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: in that a lot of people kind of you know,

286
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: don't have a constant, full time gig in this industry

287
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: and a lot of industries. So I think, you know,

288
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: she was freelancing for The New Yorker and and she

289
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: was doing some really great work, but it's it's kind

290
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: of representative of the sort of you know, sometimes unusual

291
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: schedules and gigs that journalists can have.

292
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: Give us your opinion on how the show portrayed journalism itself.

293
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: I remember in the A Year in the Life, there

294
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: was a moment where where Rory got a little too

295
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: close to a source. I think I'm remembering that correctly

296
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: and that that is not uh, that that's that's not

297
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: a super accurate portrayal of something that would be permissible

298
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: in a in a news job. But I remember the

299
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: rest of it feeling pretty accurate. That her her role

300
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: is like an intern in the newsroom that that Logan

301
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: Logan's dad owned, where she's just running around trying to

302
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 3: do everything she can and and trying to get noticed

303
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 3: a little bit that that seemed very accurate. And also

304
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: her writing for the paper, and I remember these moments

305
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 3: of her trying to stand out while not not you know,

306
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: insulting people around campus with her with her work and

307
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 3: finding that difficult balance of you know, trying not to

308
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: be a jerk but being really like accurate and honest.

309
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: I felt like there there were a lot of these

310
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: like kind of the early sometimes you know, things that

311
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: you have to really think through in a journalism career.

312
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: Were are there any without naming names, are there any

313
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: minsh of hunts Burgers at the New York Times.

314
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: No, no, fortunately, not.

315
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: Have you ever encountered a personality like that? And in

316
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: your years of being a journalist, Oh.

317
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think as a young as a young woman journalist,

318
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: you definitely come across I mean, anyone, as a young

319
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: journalist in your career, you come across personalities that are

320
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: you know that everybody has that moment where someone tells

321
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 3: them you're not going to make it, You're not good enough,

322
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: You're you know X and Y. And I definitely had

323
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: that when I was in college. And yeah, and I actually,

324
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: you know, I feel like I hear a lot of

325
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: these types of stories that people have in different careers,

326
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: but also in journalism. And maybe it's just because it's

327
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 3: so competitive at times that but you know, hopefully you

328
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: you learn from it, but you don't take it too seriously.

329
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 3: And I think that's I remember that's what Rory did.

330
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 3: That she kind of she went back to journalism and

331
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: went back to Yale.

332
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. What does the show mean to you?

333
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: It's a it's a big answer. It's I really love

334
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: the show. It's it's just one of those things that

335
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, how is this so good? It's I could

336
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: rewatch it ten more times and I probably will over

337
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: the course of you know, however many years that takes.

338
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 3: And it's it's just, you know, supported me in difficult times.

339
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: It's made me laugh, it's you know, comforting, and I

340
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 3: love it and I love how much it means to

341
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: so many other people too.

342
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is quite a phenomenon.

343
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 3: Uh.

344
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: It really has become this, uh, this iconic piece of

345
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: art that that that is woven into the fabric of

346
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: this country. And it's I don't know, it's sort of

347
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 1: taken a place in in in entertainment culture that is

348
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: completely unexpected and something I don't think anybody so common, right,

349
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you how do you predict this?

350
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's quite extraordinary. We're going to play a

351
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: little game right now called rapid Fire. Okay, right, uh huh.

352
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: And you don't have to we don't have to be

353
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: fast with us. It doesn't have to be rapid. How

354
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: do you like your coffee?

355
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: Black?

356
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: Are your Team Logan, Team Jess or Team Dean?

357
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: Oh? So hard? I when I was younger, I was

358
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 3: Team Logan because I thought that's where Rory is going

359
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: and she she you know, needs someone who who respects

360
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: her intellect and her career. But now I'm like, you know,

361
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 3: who's of a jerk sometimes? So maybe I'm maybe I'm

362
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: a little bit team just now.

363
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on that. You know, I

364
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: was riding the logan wave pretty for a couple of seasons,

365
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: but now I think I'm getting back on the jet thing.

366
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 3: I love how it changes for you too.

367
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it does, because but that's you know,

368
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: a testament to the writing, isn't it. You know, ye

369
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: can flip the fans like that, who's your favorite Gilmore

370
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: Girls couple, Luke and Laurele I or Emily.

371
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 3: And Richard Luke and Laurel I for sure. I think

372
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: I wrote in my email responding to your team, like

373
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: I was team Luke all the way in the in

374
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: the show. And I recently learned that I didn't even

375
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 3: think there was a debate on Laurel I's other romantic partners.

376
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: But I was like, no, it's it's Laurea I and Luke.

377
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: Right, I I was. I was always uh dumbfounded that

378
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: there was even a debate about it. And you know,

379
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: I think the network, as a marketing tool tried to

380
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: engage the base with well, let's you know, let's make

381
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: another like is, let's make another contest out of it.

382
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: Would you rather work with Michelle or Kirk oh Man?

383
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: I love them both, and Kirk is just everywhere, but

384
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 3: he's kind of a goof, So maybe I would have

385
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 3: to say Michelle for the for the competency factor.

386
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: What would you order at Luke's Diner?

387
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, if you know, if I only could,

388
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 3: I would get a black coffee in one of the

389
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 3: giant mugs. I would have waffles, waffles, syrup, the whole

390
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: the whole thing. And then it, depending on the time

391
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: of day. If it's later in the day, We're going burger. Absolutely.

392
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 4: You know.

393
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this, what if there

394
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: were a chain of Luke's Diners? Would you go?

395
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred percent?

396
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: Do you think people would go? Do you think that's

397
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: a good idea?

398
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: I think that's a great idea. We're always going to

399
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: diners here in New York. You know, when you really

400
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: get a craving for like good food, that's not that's

401
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 3: not overpriced, that's not overdoing it. It's that you want

402
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: a diner, and especially the whole environment of Lukes. It's great.

403
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: You would you like to go to a Lukes Diner

404
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: that is a replica of the TV one or would

405
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: you want it to be more of an experience where

406
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: it's like got really comfortable booths and it's got the

407
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: memorabilia all over the walls, and it's got a room

408
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: where you can actually watch the shows and it's you

409
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's like a it's it's like

410
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: a comfy, high tech version of Luke's. Uh, that's more

411
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: would be more comfortable than you know, the original diner

412
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: because I think do you think people would just sort

413
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: of visit it once or twice if it was like

414
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: the original Lukes Dinners chasing after nostalgia, but not come

415
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: back so much? But what do you.

416
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 4: Think about that?

417
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 3: I think that's a good question. I think both would

418
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: be popular for sure. But I think you're right that

419
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 3: if you if you wanted to keep coming back and

420
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: have something as your go to diner spot, you'd want

421
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 3: the maybe a little bit more comfortable option.

422
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: You'd want all the bells and whistles, you know. Yeah, yeah,

423
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: competitive space anyway. Interesting. Who would you rather hang out with?

424
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: Paris or Lane?

425
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 4: Oh?

426
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 3: Definitely lane definitely.

427
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: Do you play an instrument you could be in your band?

428
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: I do? I have a guitar, right, you do. I

429
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: started learning guitar in the early pandemic, and then I

430
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: grew up playing piano, keyboard. Oh that's great, and so

431
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 3: I would love to there. That was such a fun

432
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: plot point for me. Their their band and the whole

433
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: growth of their musical life.

434
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 4: Who do you like?

435
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: Who are your Who are you partial to? Who you

436
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: like listening to?

437
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 3: Oh? Musically I love it? Really runs the gamut. I

438
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 3: recently this was so impulsive to me, but I splurged

439
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: on Joni Mitchell tickets and oh, there you go, because

440
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: she's my absolute favorite of all time. But then also

441
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 3: Beyonce is also my favorite of all time. So it's

442
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: kind of like interest really run the game. But I

443
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: also love rock and you know, listen to the Ramones.

444
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 3: I feel like, if you live in Brooklyn, you have

445
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: to Fleetwood Mac all the good stuff.

446
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I was listening to some Stevie Nick yesterday.

447
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: She's extraordinary. Uh yeah, Joni Mitchell in my youth, big influence.

448
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: I loved her, loved those albums.

449
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 4: What a talent, What a talent?

453
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: grooming him for you know, the concert stage and the

454
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: whole thing. He was a child prodigy and he left

455
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: it all to play jazz.

456
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 4: Wow.

457
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: He wanted to write his own material and perform his

458
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: own material, so he turned into this justice mind blowing artist,

459
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: master of the keyboards. Yeah, so there's something you should

00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 3: Oh oh man. The third option is so tempting now

468
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 3: as a as a burnt out twenty eight year old,

469
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: But I think, oh man, both both are such great schools.

470
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 3: I think, you know, I've always wanted to live in

471
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 3: Boston area, so I would say Harvard if I were

472
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: there right now.

473
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you rather attend a dar event with Emily

474
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: or a town meeting with Taylor?

475
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: Oh, town meeting for sure. That really just sounds like

476
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 3: I could bring my popcorn. I would be entertained for hours.

477
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: Right, Gilmore Girls, character that you would most want as

478
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: a roommate?

479
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: Ooh, Larelei? I think Lorelei. She would be fun. She's not,

480
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: you know, so intense, like a like a Paris galer

481
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 3: or somebody. She you know, would be easy going and

482
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 3: not you know, not too much.

483
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: Chaos, something in your life that you are all in on.

484
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: Oh well, since it is Valentine's Day, I'll say my

485
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 3: my relationship, shout out to my boyfriend Sean. And also

486
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 3: we have a little dog. He's a little corgy named Mark,

487
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: and so I would say he's the most spoiled dog

488
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: in the world. So we're all in on him too.

489
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: Molina has been a pleasure, and your article Gilmore Girls
