Speaker 1: I am all inlets you.
Speaker 2: I am all in with Scott Patterson, an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 3: Hey everybody, Scott Patterson, I am all in podcast, one
Speaker 3: of them productions. iHeartRadio, iHeart Media, I heart Podcast. I'm
Speaker 3: joined by my intrepid crew, Tyre Suit, Danielle Romo. Jackie
Speaker 3: Are has blacked herself out. We can't see her.
Speaker 2: Our producer Jackie's here too.
Speaker 3: Hey, Jackie and Amy Sugarman, you know where you love her.
Speaker 3: This is season seven, Episode nine, Knit People Knit, and
Speaker 3: I think before we kick things off, we want to
Speaker 3: all acknowledge the life and the impact that one of
Speaker 3: our our close, close colleagues and dear friends, Sam Rubin Uh,
Speaker 3: had upon us. He passed away suddenly last week, and
Speaker 3: it was just such a shock because I know Amy
Speaker 3: Uh and Sam go back thirty years, and everybody on
Speaker 3: this podcast knows Sam, knows and loves him, because to
Speaker 3: know Sam, or even to be acquainted with him, is
Speaker 3: to love him.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: He was a big supporter of mine for many.
Speaker 2: Years, was Scott.
Speaker 3: He really was really just such a great guy. I
Speaker 3: just saw him on the Critics Choice Red carpet. We
Speaker 3: did it.
Speaker 2: Because you guys just got to have a so glad
Speaker 2: because you guys got to have such a fun time
Speaker 2: to get.
Speaker 3: Twice I saw him on consecutive days, so h and
Speaker 3: I hadn't seen him in a year or so, and
Speaker 3: he's just such. He was just such a breath of
Speaker 3: fresh air and such a positive, sweet guy, loving guy.
Speaker 4: On the planet.
Speaker 3: And so I personally just want to send my condolences
Speaker 3: out to the family and friends. I saw his sixteen
Speaker 3: year old son going KTL coldly went on he read
Speaker 3: something he wrote for his dad, and I just cried, cried, cried.
Speaker 3: I think, as we all did. Sam's passing has impacted
Speaker 3: this town in a massive way, and people are still
Speaker 3: trying to wrap their heads around it because it's just
Speaker 3: left such a void in this town.
Speaker 2: So Jackie, our producer, Jackie, Danielle and I worked directly
Speaker 2: with him. So I've worked with him and he's been
Speaker 2: my friend for thirty years, and Danielle and I have
Speaker 2: worked directly for him for almost a decade. Every day,
Speaker 2: and so I can't even the fact that I'm not
Speaker 2: crying is only because I have literally been crying for
Speaker 2: a week straight. But I want to honor this man.
Speaker 2: You have no idea like he was the most special
Speaker 2: person to me. He treated me, he included me in everything.
Speaker 2: He fought to get me that job. He gave me
Speaker 2: so many opportunities. Danielle and I were talking earlier in
Speaker 2: thirty years. I never heard him raise his voice. He
Speaker 2: never said an unkind word, He never got irritated. We
Speaker 2: would text and say like, oh sorry, the guests that's
Speaker 2: supposed to be there in three minutes just canceled, and
Speaker 2: he would just be like, all good, and then he
Speaker 2: just get on the air and nail it like he
Speaker 2: was so talented. I've been so blessed to know him
Speaker 2: and work with him and just to be his friend.
Speaker 2: I mean, he just have me at the house. His
Speaker 2: children are incredible. He has four of the most incredible children.
Speaker 4: One of them who interned for us, Rory. She was,
Speaker 4: you know, a part of our iHeart family too. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and my heart goes out for.
Speaker 2: All or just heartbroken truly, like Scott knows in our group.
Speaker 2: Text and Scott, thank you because, like you know, you're
Speaker 2: just such a great support for us. But this guy,
Speaker 2: there's no there's nothing I can say because I could
Speaker 2: never say enough. And Jackie, I know you feel the
Speaker 2: same like the loyalty. This person showed me my whole
Speaker 2: career from the minute I met him in the nineties,
Speaker 2: like my entire career was my biggest like supporter. And
Speaker 2: I actually was thinking about, I'm so happy to have
Speaker 2: this podcast today because I'm trying not to cry. I
Speaker 2: really don't want to cry because I I get such
Speaker 2: a headache when I cry. So, watching Gilmore Girls last night,
Speaker 2: and I know this sounds like cheesy, was a really
Speaker 2: nice yes moment. It's like Gilmore Girls. You always talk
Speaker 2: about it, it does I really was okay for a minute.
Speaker 2: I got to just enjoy the show miracle. I liked
Speaker 2: the episode. You know, there's something so special and I
Speaker 2: think it's only fitting that Gilmore Girls aired on Sam's network. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in so many years, and he you know, interviewed everybody
Speaker 2: from Gilmore Girls. So I actually was really excited to
Speaker 2: do this podcast with you guys today, just to be
Speaker 2: together and like, oh, I don't want to cry.
Speaker 3: I had the same reaction to this episode because the
Speaker 3: other day, you know, I went into my doctor because
Speaker 3: I had some irritation in my back and they said,
Speaker 3: oh my god, you need to go get that taken
Speaker 3: care of. And we're all, you know, because of COVID,
Speaker 3: so many doctors and nurses just retired from the industry,
Speaker 3: so we're short here, so well outsource. It's it's close
Speaker 3: to your house to go over there. And the doctor
Speaker 3: saw me on an emergency basis. She goes, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: get on your stomach, and she just took a scalp,
Speaker 3: well what and and cut into it and squeezed it
Speaker 3: out and it's infected and it's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: It was like an absessed like infected cyst or whatever
Speaker 3: it was. Yeah, And I had more novacated me that
Speaker 3: to kill a horse. And I could still whatever they
Speaker 3: gave me. But it was like, I said, more, just
Speaker 3: give me more. I can still feel it. She goes,
Speaker 3: there's no way you can feel it. I said, I've
Speaker 3: give me more anyway. So I'm like, I can barely
Speaker 3: sit on the couch. I gotta lie down on a pillow,
Speaker 3: like you know, I'm a Ruben's painting or something, and
Speaker 3: and watch TV. I can't do anything. I can't go
Speaker 3: to the gym, I can't move around that good. I
Speaker 3: haven't got stitches yet, but I'm in pain. So I
Speaker 3: got I got the nice tile and all, I got
Speaker 3: the pain killers, I got the antibiotics, and then Gilmour
Speaker 3: comes on and I'm like, yeah, yeah, this is nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 3: Right, it was really nice, really is And forget the pain.
Speaker 3: It made me forget everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we criticize it, we do our thing. You criticize us,
Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, like we're all
Speaker 2: in this because we love this show. You know, we
Speaker 2: really love the show, and that everyone that listens is
Speaker 2: so passionate and it's just like, you know what, it
Speaker 2: just it was I was excited to be with you
Speaker 2: guys today.
Speaker 3: I feel the same way. And I really love this episode.
Speaker 3: I mean a great episode. I thought it was great
Speaker 3: top to bottom. I thought it was a great episode.
Speaker 3: I thought everybody hit it out of the park.
Speaker 2: I put it out of the park. The ending scene
Speaker 2: was really good, which.
Speaker 3: I talk about, thought that was cool. Yeah, but it
Speaker 3: was a great episode. And they really went to town
Speaker 3: on the props with the giant spools of yarn and
Speaker 3: it was just like great and it was so totally
Speaker 3: and it kind of felt like, Okay, it looks like
Speaker 3: maybe stars Hollow might be spitting Christopher out.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, did I cringe when he donated that money.
Speaker 2: I was like, no, no, no, no, dude, no no, not
Speaker 2: the point, not the point.
Speaker 3: You missed the point.
Speaker 2: What's his heart?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: Look, I know he's polarizing, but he's really trying and like, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know who this episode he was like he was.
Speaker 2: He was and Jackson, I mean this. We needed the
Speaker 2: town back.
Speaker 3: Everyone did, and we really did get Richard.
Speaker 2: And Emily like, I think maybe the mistake of season
Speaker 2: seven was not here, please do, please do. I have
Speaker 2: so much anxiety that my mouth is dry. So everything
Speaker 2: I say I told Danielle my essays sounds so weird,
Speaker 2: but it's just because I'm so anxious. But anyway, I'll
Speaker 2: just it out. We'll just have a good time today.
Speaker 2: So we missed the town. I think the mistake that
Speaker 2: the writers made in season seven was not using the
Speaker 2: town in the episodes we've had as much, because now
Speaker 2: that we had them, it did feel gilmoury to me,
Speaker 2: not perfect, but it felt like we what we like.
Speaker 6: With the nitiphon and how everything combined, it felt like
Speaker 6: we're back to normal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3: I can't. They can't do that every week.
Speaker 4: It's not budget friendly, you know, what Henny Ortega. So
Speaker 4: there you go.
Speaker 3: Of course, just drop your mic walkway.
Speaker 2: And once you know that, of course.
Speaker 3: Why would you say that and end the potty.
Speaker 7: You don't need to say anything Kenny Ortega, period way.
Speaker 3: There will be no critique today or breakdown at Kenny Ortega.
Speaker 4: Kenny Ortega's bye, everybody.
Speaker 3: All right, now we're going to get to it. Danielle.
Speaker 3: It's time to synopsisizations with Danielle Romo. That's that could
Speaker 3: be a new podcast.
Speaker 4: I can't even say the wordizing.
Speaker 3: It's synopsisization.
Speaker 4: All right, guys, this is season seven, episode nine, Knit
Speaker 4: People Knit Air date November twenty eight, two thousand and six.
Speaker 4: Lorlai is concerned that stars Hollow may not accept Christopher,
Speaker 4: Rory and Marty resolve their awkwardness but a drunk comment
Speaker 4: sorry until lizten DJ welcome and you baby girl, and
Speaker 4: Luke finally stands up to Anna about his relationship up
Speaker 4: with April.
Speaker 2: I also say I actually had some favorite lines in this.
Speaker 3: There was some funny stuff. Emily had a good one.
Speaker 3: You're like a dolphin at feeding time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So we are at the Gilmore's. Richard and
Speaker 2: Emily are back and immediately I noticed that very beautifully
Speaker 2: wrapped silver gift. Emily right on point, playing that answering
Speaker 2: machine message over and over and over again. I was
Speaker 2: so happy with the whole scene. Emily and Richard were
Speaker 2: awesome opening the gift, and it was that cave woman,
Speaker 2: woolf girlool girl painting woman thing. It was so amazing.
Speaker 2: The thing that I love, and this is the brilliance
Speaker 2: of Gilmour, is that it pops up. It's prominently featured
Speaker 2: during dinner, and that's Kenny Ortega is brilliance, I assume.
Speaker 2: And then back at the Gilmour at lore Lies, it's
Speaker 2: I mean, you see it again and again throughout the episode.
Speaker 4: So any clown pillow, it's oh yeah, speaking of the
Speaker 4: clown pillow really vanished. I really every time we're at
Speaker 4: Laurelie's house, my eyes are wide open, just waiting for it,
Speaker 4: and I have not seen seen it. Has it season four?
Speaker 7: Maybe he's gonna say, did it go with Amy and Dan?
Speaker 7: Or is it just no?
Speaker 2: But it's been gone before that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been gone for a few seasons.
Speaker 2: I want to say.
Speaker 4: Its last appearance was season four.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, so great opening, do we all agree?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Pretty darn strong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like fun, Loralai was cool, Christopher was cool. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry they were cool. Emily and Richard were so sarcastic.
Speaker 2: I mean, they must be totally happy that their kid
Speaker 2: married Christopher. They love him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but there's such a Laurels.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was such a lorel I thing, Like she
Speaker 6: left a voicemail saying, hey, by the way, I got married.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But there's a funny moment. I think Emily and
Speaker 2: Richard are holding hands and they have mastered pretending to
Speaker 2: be sweet and sincere while totally being sarcastic, and it
Speaker 2: just was awesome. So then we have the credits and
Speaker 2: we go to dinner and they're having lamb, which you know,
Speaker 2: I am. I'm like some lamb. You can see Wolfgirl.
Speaker 2: I kind of call her caveman girl, but Wolfgirl is
Speaker 2: propped up, so they sort of shot in a way
Speaker 2: so that you could see it. And we talk about
Speaker 2: the wedding party. Lorli pitches it for year ten, which
Speaker 2: is ten. Rory says, some of these things just stick
Speaker 2: with me, and they want to have it at the
Speaker 2: Harbor Club with four hundred people, and this is where
Speaker 2: we get the moment she doesn't want to invite the town.
Speaker 2: She only wanted to invite Suki Michelle Jackson, and that
Speaker 2: was a big red flag to anti Christopher talking, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, gosh, you know, if she's not going
Speaker 3: to be proud of her man and.
Speaker 4: I don't even think that it's she's not proud. I
Speaker 4: think he knows it's not.
Speaker 3: She knows it's not right, and including herself. But it
Speaker 3: makes her look kind of dingy, right, or or.
Speaker 4: Like everybody's gonna smell out that it's not the right thing.
Speaker 4: You know, they all know that.
Speaker 2: That's an interesting angle because she sort of addresses it
Speaker 2: with Christopher in a bit, saying she doesn't want to
Speaker 2: flaunt it to the town. But it's like, if I
Speaker 2: were Christopher, I'd be like, are you kidding me right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: And also like it was kind of more of not
Speaker 6: really what they thought of I think I'm jumping ahead,
Speaker 6: but I have a point, not what they thought of Christopher.
Speaker 6: It's what they thought of laurl I marrying Christopher. It
Speaker 6: was more of the act of it instead of because
Speaker 6: of Luke.
Speaker 3: So but but they know all about Christopher, you know,
Speaker 3: they've heard chapter verse over the years about the heel.
Speaker 3: Christopher has been negligent, neglecting Rory and not being there,
Speaker 3: and the town has pulled together to get Rory, uh
Speaker 3: and lift up Rory on the on their shoulders because
Speaker 3: that she didn't have a dad, and you know, everybody,
Speaker 3: the whole town's stepped up, you know, us on their shoulders,
Speaker 3: and the whole town's miss Patty whatever. And and now
Speaker 3: she's it's like it must feel like almost And I
Speaker 3: don't want to be dramatic here, but Laurel, I stabbed
Speaker 3: the entire town in the back. You know, this is
Speaker 3: our this is our thanks.
Speaker 7: You know, correct very here.
Speaker 3: You know, it's.
Speaker 4: Literally when your best friend says I'm getting back together
Speaker 4: with my ex, who you all know sucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you like, well, like all those nights we spent
Speaker 3: with you trying to prop you up, you just went
Speaker 3: right back in the class, you know.
Speaker 2: And is this engagement with Luke and is married to
Speaker 2: Christopher literally within weeks. I mean, it's very jarring to
Speaker 2: the town.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: The thing I wanted to ask you guys about is
Speaker 2: like Max Medina, she was engaged to him, and the
Speaker 2: town I guess sort of accepted him. We never really
Speaker 2: address it, but I think that's because it was pre Luke.
Speaker 4: I think part of the town. Well not really school
Speaker 4: he taught at.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, but there were two people that came
Speaker 3: together after a long, long courtship.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, I think there's more history.
Speaker 3: That made a commitment and that's a big deal, and.
Speaker 2: She hadn't dated you yet, she hadn't dated.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying. I'm saying once they made the commitment,
Speaker 3: and once there was a proposal, and once there was
Speaker 3: a date set and then a date postponent still was like,
Speaker 3: you know, that's a commitment, and yeah, you know, and
Speaker 3: then they were like, oh, okay, well this is serious now,
Speaker 3: so we're going to do this now.
Speaker 2: Just think yeah that she's Look, she was in a
Speaker 2: world of hurt no matter who she was going to
Speaker 2: date after dating Luke, and it was never going to work.
Speaker 2: But the facts got I think you're right that she
Speaker 2: dates this guy that the whole town has had to
Speaker 2: sort of, I don't know, cope with. Essentially is maybe
Speaker 2: the best way to say it. They don't dislike him,
Speaker 2: but he just wasn't.
Speaker 3: The town was giving both Gilmore girls therapy for you know,
Speaker 3: the past eighteen twenty years and all this twenty one
Speaker 3: years and all of a sudden, he's the guy. He
Speaker 3: wins the lottery.
Speaker 2: It's I like what you said there. The town was
Speaker 2: giving therapy. The town is therapy, right, there's something about
Speaker 2: this town that heals its members.
Speaker 3: But anyway, protecting, protecting both of those girls, especially Rory,
Speaker 3: to make sure that she went on to do great things,
Speaker 3: and really rolling around those two because you know, Laurel
Speaker 3: is unique in that town. She comes from a very
Speaker 3: prominent family, and you know, she's chosen to be with
Speaker 3: these people, and they've embraced her and they love her,
Speaker 3: they love her, and she loves them exactly, and and
Speaker 3: boy that you.
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, yeah, you got it.
Speaker 3: We're all, yes, he knew she you know.
Speaker 2: So then we go to Paris and Doyle's, which I'm
Speaker 2: sorry Paris and Doyle might have stolen the episode. I
Speaker 2: know we're not there yet.
Speaker 3: That do that, don't do that.
Speaker 2: We're not there yet, but the dancing is iconic, so moving.
Speaker 3: The boxes in so it's pretty good.
Speaker 2: We realize immediately, all right, Rory's moving back in with
Speaker 2: Paris and Doyle. Paris's cat sweater, I mean ten out
Speaker 2: of ten for the cat. The blue cat sweater. She's
Speaker 2: got her signing the least it mentions Logan or her
Speaker 2: other paramour. She's gonna he's gonna charged a half a
Speaker 2: day if he takes a shower. I mean the whole thing.
Speaker 2: A great line that a boy Rockefeller, I mean the
Speaker 2: whole thing. And we learned that Logan's got a party
Speaker 2: at Nobu, so he can't go to Lucy's twenty first
Speaker 2: who the theme of the twenty first is two thousand
Speaker 2: and two, which is just.
Speaker 7: Which is so funny because this was two thousand and six.
Speaker 7: That's like saying, like.
Speaker 2: That's why it was so funny. Yeah, it's even funnier now.
Speaker 4: I didn't know Nobu was around back then.
Speaker 3: Oh sure it's been around.
Speaker 2: Forever, not from the Boo Nobu, but the other Nobu's
Speaker 2: New York Nobu. So then the Giant Pencil, I mean
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Great scene again, Paris was great, Like
Speaker 2: it's just great. Any other thoughts on that scene.
Speaker 3: Just that you know, Paris and Doyle are a beloved couple.
Speaker 3: They're hysterically funny together and they do odd bizarre stuff
Speaker 3: that is uh safe and feel good, and it's just
Speaker 3: it's just pure comedy, right, I mean just having them
Speaker 3: in the background shucking and jiving to that song Kenny.
Speaker 2: Ortega's genius, and that they're not even in the main
Speaker 2: part of the scene. But I know we're out there.
Speaker 2: I'll wait till we get there. Okay. So now we
Speaker 2: see Christopher and Laurlai, and it was kind of like banter, banter, banter,
Speaker 2: witty banter. It was a little fast for me. I
Speaker 2: actually watched it twice, couldn't quite catch it all. I
Speaker 2: think it was about you're gonna make me breakfast in
Speaker 2: a poached egg and a salts on it, Martha Stewart
Speaker 2: dah da la la a lah. Right, Like, it was
Speaker 2: just a lot of banter, especially for my brain that's
Speaker 2: only like a quarter working. Then we learn there's the
Speaker 2: nitathon for the bridge. Now this is the bridge, I believe,
Speaker 2: and others too. I'm quite sure that you push Jess off.
Speaker 7: Of That's what I was wondering.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that that's the bridge that we are rebuilding.
Speaker 2: And then we kind of so, you know, good little
Speaker 2: thing to think about, and then Laurlai kind of talks
Speaker 2: about how she's gonna go do some errands, need to come,
Speaker 2: and he's kind of like, no, I want to come. No, no, no.
Speaker 2: So that's where we learn, Okay, I need to be
Speaker 2: sensitive to the town folk. I don't want to be
Speaker 2: shoving this marriage down their throat. He kind of realizes,
Speaker 2: this is why you've only invited these couple of people
Speaker 2: to the party. They don't have time to adjust. All right, Fine,
Speaker 2: let's go to town. Let's stroll, not struck. And it
Speaker 2: was a funny scene. It had a lot of dialogue
Speaker 2: for me, which might like I said, it was a lot,
Speaker 2: but I liked it. I'm not mad at them.
Speaker 3: Fatly.
Speaker 7: She was practicing for the nitathon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she wasn't making it.
Speaker 7: I wasn't making anything. It was just she just kept going.
Speaker 4: But does anyone know how to knit? I do you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: My mom taught me. Don My mom taught me.
Speaker 6: And it's so funny because when she said that, I
Speaker 6: remember i'd knit for no. I made like the longest
Speaker 6: scarf in history, just because you want to keep going
Speaker 6: like there's no point because you're not actually gonna wear it.
Speaker 7: You're just doing it for fun.
Speaker 2: It's part of the nitathon, and I know we'll get
Speaker 2: to it. It's all the knit like Taylor's entire outfit knit.
Speaker 2: There's so much nity. So we go into the diner
Speaker 2: and again the diner is sort of a buzz with knitting,
Speaker 2: you know, interesting angles. Great scene with Caesar. Uh there's
Speaker 2: knitting everywhere. Uh. Caesar sort of acknowledges that Luke is
Speaker 2: grouchy because April's with her mom. TJ comes running in.
Speaker 2: He needs a drink, he has a carbonated beverage. It's
Speaker 2: a great scene. We learned the baby, Yeah, we learned.
Speaker 3: Performance just got a hand to tell. Man, he's just great.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Okay, this this might be an unpopular opinion, but whatever.
Speaker 4: I kind of wish that TJ was Luke's brother and
Speaker 4: Liz was his sister in law.
Speaker 2: Oh that would have been cool because.
Speaker 4: Luke and TJ is so freaking funny.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that'd be a cool dynamic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that's not bad. So we learned that she's
Speaker 2: gonna have the home birth and there's a doula, doula Sandy. Doula,
Speaker 2: that's Doula Sandy, and they need Luke there. All good, great,
Speaker 2: all great stuff. And then Luke goes to the door
Speaker 2: and unfortunately sees Christopher and Lorelai hand in hand in
Speaker 2: their cute coats, and he slams the door and wants
Speaker 2: everybody out of the diner. Knitting painful, really painful.
Speaker 3: Oh he's in pain, in pain.
Speaker 2: It was painful to see you see them. I was like, oh, little.
Speaker 7: Yeah, called cringey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what Luke's there for, is to absorb shocks
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 3: Roll first in lorell I shocks.
Speaker 2: So then we get to the town square and they're
Speaker 2: preparing for the knitathon, and Christopher and loreli are and
Speaker 2: they're very cute coats. I must say they were very
Speaker 2: cute coats. She had a white coat. I think his
Speaker 2: was more of a gray. They bump into bad bet.
Speaker 2: I was in pain for Christopher holding those that dry
Speaker 2: cleaning for so long.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I didn't like them prancing around the town
Speaker 3: like that. Well, when I started liking her, I mean,
Speaker 3: she didn't really want him to come, that's but it's
Speaker 3: the way they were kind of strutting along, you know.
Speaker 3: I just I just thought, man, well so did the town.
Speaker 2: That's why they were I.
Speaker 3: Think it was brilliant directing. I think Kenny had got
Speaker 3: the right angle and the right kind of struck where
Speaker 3: you're just like, that's wrong.
Speaker 4: I think the annoying thing is that LAURALI for this
Speaker 4: whole series, has always had such a backbone and it
Speaker 4: is such an independent person, and this season she's lost
Speaker 4: all of that, all these things she doesn't want. She
Speaker 4: didn't want to get married, she didn't want to walk
Speaker 4: through the town like, and she's doing it against what
Speaker 4: she truly feels and what she truly wants.
Speaker 2: And so we'll get to it when we get to
Speaker 2: the scene where they sort of say I love you,
Speaker 2: I love you. But I mean interesting point. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think she's all jumbled up.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. I think Danielle makes a salient point. Absolutely.
Speaker 6: I will say, I feel like seeing Baba and miss
Speaker 6: Patty like just brought me so much comfort though, like
Speaker 6: I didn't realize how much I missed them until I
Speaker 6: saw this scene.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we really missed the whole town.
Speaker 3: But you know, I think, you know, to hop on
Speaker 3: to Danielle's point, I think the way we we enjoy
Speaker 3: or we consume Laurel I, right, is that she's the
Speaker 3: one right, You're right, Danielle, She's the one with the backbone,
Speaker 3: and all of this drama is happening before her and
Speaker 3: she's running a around trying to help this that outbum Yeah,
Speaker 3: she's she's very I don't know that that's her power position,
Speaker 3: being subject to the you know, the the changing weather,
Speaker 3: the changing tides, and the changing directions of life. She
Speaker 3: was always like, you know, the backbone of the show, right,
Speaker 3: and it's like Michelle and somebody's got a problem, She's
Speaker 3: always there for them and she's the great friend. And
Speaker 3: now it's like she's, yeah, you're right, she's.
Speaker 4: Gone even on her own problems. Like she's the one
Speaker 4: that left Max Medina, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 4: she went because she knew it wasn't right. You know,
Speaker 4: she was doing things to better her, better herself, I
Speaker 4: don't know, like her whole life. She didn't want to
Speaker 4: be involved in this Gilmore world, you know. And then
Speaker 4: she marries Christopher, who is exactly who her parents wanted
Speaker 4: her to marry. You know, it's just like all this
Speaker 4: stuff that is so not true to her that she
Speaker 4: is letting happen.
Speaker 2: Birl, I can't have that same argument again because I'm
Speaker 2: too exhausted, and so was everyone listening. But It's why
Speaker 2: I still say I don't understand why she ended it
Speaker 2: with Luke because I know she was sort of I
Speaker 2: know she was trying to be true to herself, like
Speaker 2: I need to be married now, but I always go
Speaker 2: back to it like love is love, right, and if
Speaker 2: love is true, you can wait, so we don't need
Speaker 2: to have it all again. Everybody will just yell at me.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I feel like now she's just
Speaker 2: making sort of strange decisions, but maybe they had to happen. Okay,
Speaker 2: So we see miss Patty with the wagon. She's the
Speaker 2: town social chair with the wagon for the newlyweds, right,
Speaker 2: and I was trying hard because I knew what was
Speaker 2: coming where the wagon is like junk, but I tried
Speaker 2: to look in there and be like is it? Is
Speaker 2: it clean and supplies? It actually looked pretty cool. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna lie. But later we find out not so much.
Speaker 2: Great to see the town again too. I feel like
Speaker 2: I just feel like maybe they just should have had
Speaker 2: Kenny direct every episode of this season and it would
Speaker 2: have been a great season.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Nah, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: So now we go to we see Marty and Rory
Speaker 2: and it's just so awkward.
Speaker 3: Better but I don't know it would have been.
Speaker 2: It couldn't say it. But it's not bad. This was
Speaker 2: a good episode. So we see Marty and Rory. It's
Speaker 2: so awkward. She's got her two thousand and two stuff.
Speaker 2: She's so like, where's Lucy? And he's just weird.
Speaker 6: Get why Rory's being so weird when she's like happily
Speaker 6: in a relationship, Like.
Speaker 4: It's weird.
Speaker 2: And also he didn't tell you see he knows her.
Speaker 2: It's just so.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: It's like why she wasn't like it also wasn't like
Speaker 4: they made out and were dating.
Speaker 2: Friends, you guys, been really really close friends. And then
Speaker 2: he just like dumped her as a friend because she
Speaker 2: didn't love him like he loved her.
Speaker 3: And then wait, the storyline doesn't have the weight to
Speaker 3: carry its own Wait you know what I'm saying. It's
Speaker 3: just not waiting and it's like, what's it doing in there?
Speaker 3: I think she's just it's not a big narrative that
Speaker 3: you know, we really want to expand on. It just
Speaker 3: sort of happened for a couple episodes.
Speaker 2: Kind of make it a big narrative, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think I think it's fair if it happened right after
Speaker 2: maybe I think I've it's been so long.
Speaker 7: I'm like, you're over a long time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you let go somewhere, like did that care?
Speaker 2: He's not over it, which we learn at the end.
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, it's so weird.
Speaker 6: It's been so long since that episode. And I'm like, like,
Speaker 6: like Scott was saying.
Speaker 2: I mean, I had a crush on somebody's sophomore year,
Speaker 2: I probably still had a crush on him senior year.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, like.
Speaker 4: Wayne Wilcox was doing between.
Speaker 2: I think he just didn't have a storyline because Logan
Speaker 2: became so prominent, and then they brought him back for this.
Speaker 2: So anyway, she's got the ug boots, the JLO record,
Speaker 2: the whole to do, and the whole thing was quite awkward,
Speaker 2: which is very awkward.
Speaker 6: Us are very back in style right now, Yeah, they
Speaker 6: sure are.
Speaker 2: Lucy and boyfriend are awkward. They're awkward to me, it's awkward.
Speaker 2: The whole thing is just weird.
Speaker 3: I got I've got a nice pair bugs.
Speaker 2: Crocs are back to go crocs, Crocs I never wore?
Speaker 3: What is what is the.
Speaker 2: Love the Crocs? I don't know, my niece made me
Speaker 2: order like fifty gibbits for.
Speaker 4: You know who's the king of crocs Easton Allen sure is.
Speaker 3: But what are they? Just like foamy and comfortable.
Speaker 2: Just plastic. I know they're that comfortable. Are they comfortable?
Speaker 7: I have to admit. I have one on the floor
Speaker 7: next to me.
Speaker 6: I wear it around the house because it has like
Speaker 6: I have one that has like a fur lining, so
Speaker 6: it's like my house slippers.
Speaker 2: But it's very comfortable. I'm more into the hookahs. Danielle
Speaker 2: got me into the hookahs. But anyway, okay, do you
Speaker 2: guys want to know?
Speaker 4: Don't know what hokahs are?
Speaker 3: I saw, yes, had big giant tennis.
Speaker 4: This guy so not they have, but they have ones
Speaker 4: that aren't that big and got this guy sat.
Speaker 3: Down next to me at karate, you know, because it's yeah,
Speaker 3: oh that's nice.
Speaker 7: I like the socks to.
Speaker 2: Thank you, my leprechaun socks.
Speaker 4: So great about the hokah there's steps.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could walk twenty thousand steps not feel a thing.
Speaker 2: I had planter or fascy itis. No one cares. I
Speaker 2: know an email.
Speaker 4: They're very good on your.
Speaker 3: Knees too, But can you work out in them or
Speaker 3: are they just work every day. I've never found anything
Speaker 3: better than Nike Lebron's.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, got you covered. This is better, really
Speaker 4: really way better.
Speaker 3: I'm not check it out anyway.
Speaker 4: By the way, you guys, Wayne Wilcox was in rent.
Speaker 3: Really between Wow, Wayne Wilcox.
Speaker 4: Marty and he did that in between his arcs on girls.
Speaker 7: It's a little busy, okay.
Speaker 2: So in comes the beautiful Chrylyn Fenn. She is shockingly beautiful. Uh.
Speaker 2: She wants to have a private talk with Luke. I
Speaker 2: smelled trouble. She said that April has been showing everyone
Speaker 2: her scar, her appendix scar, and they go up to
Speaker 2: the apartment, we acknowledge the cerulean and.
Speaker 4: Did she ever say thank you? By the way, like
Speaker 4: I don't recall her.
Speaker 2: Being No, she's annoying. She's annoying. Let me just say.
Speaker 2: She says she's moving to Mexico. Luke is kind of
Speaker 2: dumbfounded and doesn't at the time sort of is like okay,
Speaker 2: but you know, we get to that later. So that
Speaker 2: was just sort of like her bossiness and her My
Speaker 2: problem with Anna, and again, sorry to preach, but is
Speaker 2: the same problem I've had with her the whole time.
Speaker 2: She literally kept this secret and then is the bossiest,
Speaker 2: most controlling person when she did wrong, it's like girl,
Speaker 2: no oh, And finally at the end, you do what
Speaker 2: I've been wanting you to do the whole time.
Speaker 4: So, you know, I was so pro Anna up until
Speaker 4: this like this, you know, because I always didn't know
Speaker 4: what was coming. But I kind of was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: she's got her whatever reasons for not involving the dad.
Speaker 4: But then now that he's in her life, she now
Speaker 4: has a duty to let her daughter foster that relationship.
Speaker 4: And so now that she's like, oh, I'm going to
Speaker 4: New Mexico, No, you won't get her for summers. No,
Speaker 4: you won't get her for this. You know, It's like
Speaker 4: it was never a conversation.
Speaker 7: It was just telling Luke, like this is how it's
Speaker 7: going to be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, now she's in Luke's life and she loves Luke.
Speaker 2: April loves Luke.
Speaker 4: So you're now, as a mom, you're doing a disservice
Speaker 4: to her, to your daughter for not keeping her around
Speaker 4: somebody who is so amazing to her, because Luke is
Speaker 4: so amazing to her and she loves him. So I
Speaker 4: can't know and I.
Speaker 2: Call about Anna and it always has been. She made
Speaker 2: that decision and it showed as she was all about herself.
Speaker 2: I don't like it. Don't like it.
Speaker 6: It's not just leaving Luke because I can't remember who
Speaker 6: was it in the diner?
Speaker 4: Who was like, oh, where's April?
Speaker 3: Like was it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Caesar, Yeah it was Caesar. And he's like, oh,
Speaker 6: she's all with her mom. Like it's now it's not
Speaker 6: just Luke. She's involved in that town. Everyone will take it,
Speaker 6: very accepted by the tests. Yeah, like how they how
Speaker 6: they took in Rory. It's kind of yes, whoa Tara
Speaker 6: correct Yea, they have a new kid, really embraces the
Speaker 6: child of the people they love.
Speaker 2: Wow, oh Tara. So we go to the inn and
Speaker 2: at first I was like, w tf is she doing
Speaker 2: with that freaking pasta? Like I was like, who is
Speaker 2: holding Costa her hands like that? And then I realized, ah,
Speaker 2: tip of the hat, she was trying to make a
Speaker 2: yarn ball with the to Yeah, and that was.
Speaker 4: Actually quite very creative. That was very cute.
Speaker 2: I actually was like I'd be down with that if
Speaker 2: I was at the nitathon and I had like a
Speaker 2: little pasta ball Yeah, it was cute. Some sauce, yummy
Speaker 2: sauce on it. I would eat that. I think I
Speaker 2: was hungry. I'm hungry. Now here's where we learn she's
Speaker 2: married an outsider, which I thought was very funny that
Speaker 2: Suki sort of described it as that, or I think
Speaker 2: Suki described it as that. She said they were cordial,
Speaker 2: and Suki goes ooh, like it was just is it great?
Speaker 2: The script is better, the acting is better, everything's better.
Speaker 2: She really wants to get at the town on board.
Speaker 2: So they talk about Paulinka, who we have not seen
Speaker 2: in a bit. But and then she talks about how
Speaker 2: Jackson has some clout. Had a really hard time spelling clout.
Speaker 2: I have no idea how you spell that way.
Speaker 4: I realized we used the word clout was like a
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three four term. I had no idea this
Speaker 4: existed back in two around.
Speaker 2: Since the days of yore. But is it cl o
Speaker 2: u t anyway? Because I felled it c l o
Speaker 2: A T c l o t E.
Speaker 6: And then I was like, oh god, that's oh yeah, Dane,
Speaker 6: I thought the same thing. I'm like, wow, they used
Speaker 6: this word has a lot.
Speaker 2: Of are the kids saying clout these days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a thing.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no way, Scott, I don't know kids are doing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll be like, oh, they're just trying to get clout.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like kids like teen kids.

Speaker 4: Good God, I'm at that age now where I'm officially
Speaker 4: just not cool and I I A'm accepting it.
Speaker 2: It's okay.
Speaker 7: And also it's sober, don't I start. I don't take
Speaker 7: anything personally anymore.
Speaker 4: Like whatever, You're so kind to.
Speaker 2: Come up to where Scott and I are at wre
Speaker 2: EPs and Saul is our middle name.
Speaker 3: No, no, no. If you make it to sixty five,
Speaker 3: make it to sixty five and you're still saying, then
Speaker 3: you can qualify school.
Speaker 2: Again, don't be mad at me for asking you this,
Speaker 2: But are you a ARP?
Speaker 3: I wanted to get no, but I control my pension
Speaker 3: and I'm not going to want to do it.
Speaker 2: For those of you that think I'm sad and lonely,
Speaker 2: I actually have a boyfriend. I will reveal it, but
Speaker 2: I wanted it. He's older, breaking news I have anybody,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I actually do, but I wanted.
Speaker 3: To get him.
Speaker 2: He's fifty five. And I wanted to get him an
Speaker 2: aa ARP membership for his birthday because it comes with
Speaker 2: like a lot of benefits, like you get to, like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, eat for free at Red Lobster or something.
Speaker 2: By the way, rip Red Lobster.
Speaker 3: I think it's just gone the stores.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a bunch of stores.
Speaker 3: No, just fifty, that's it.
Speaker 4: They've got thousand fifty biscuits at Red Lobster are very
Speaker 4: very underutilized.
Speaker 3: Wait, fifty in the entire United States. They shuddered fifty stores.
Speaker 3: It's not a big deal, is there?
Speaker 2: Is there no more Red Lobster or.
Speaker 3: Only there's thousands of them?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so just rip.
Speaker 3: Into a couple of Red Lobsters. You kid me. They are.
Speaker 2: A huge Red Lobster fan. Are you you like the
Speaker 2: what Danielle the biss.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't go, but I been maybe twice in
Speaker 4: my life. And those cheddar biscuits that they give you,
Speaker 4: like instead of like the chips and sausa whatever, those
Speaker 4: cheddar biscuit things.
Speaker 2: I will pay one of you one hundred dollars. I
Speaker 2: will venmo it immediately. If you can guess who I
Speaker 2: went to Red Lobster with the one time I went
Speaker 2: to Red Lobster. You each get one guess.
Speaker 7: Do we get it?
Speaker 4: You went with us one hit?
Speaker 2: It's celebrity. Well that's all you get. It's I went
Speaker 2: with celebrity.
Speaker 3: Incorrect, baby lost corn baby.
Speaker 2: Daniel and Tara one hundred dollars if you get it?
Speaker 7: What year was it?
Speaker 2: I'm not telling it. I've told enough. This is the game.
Speaker 3: You went with pal.
Speaker 2: No, I take a guess.
Speaker 7: Yep, was it Sam Ruin?
Speaker 2: No, but that would have been awesome. But no, but great, guess.
Speaker 4: Danielle, I'm in between two and his boss.
Speaker 2: Oh no, because what if you say the one and
Speaker 2: it's the other one? Ryan Seacress.
Speaker 3: It was just too obvious.
Speaker 2: It was like, I don't know, a lot of years
Speaker 2: ago and there we were just the two of us
Speaker 2: in at the Red Lobster. I think it was just
Speaker 2: the two of us, maybe our friend. We might have
Speaker 2: had one other friend with us, our friend Natalie. But anyway,
Speaker 2: I digress. Let's continue. So now we're back at the
Speaker 2: diner with April. She is not happy. She is super bommed.
Speaker 2: She's kind of you know, erupts in the diner. She says,
Speaker 2: a totally she was so good. You were so good
Speaker 2: in this episode. So was she. So was Sherylyn Fenn
Speaker 2: for that matter. But she did a lot of eye acting.
Speaker 2: So April's upset they go on the walk. She doesn't
Speaker 2: want to be the weird, dorky loser girl all over again.
Speaker 6: And I like, I felt that I was gonna say
Speaker 6: I felt for her because I feel like she had
Speaker 6: her friends and like, how old is she? She's probably
Speaker 6: middle like thirteen, Yes, that's a heart seventh or eighth
Speaker 6: grade to change schools, not even like you're not even
Speaker 6: close to your friends, you're in a different state.
Speaker 2: That's hard, terrible And she great. I mean, man, that
Speaker 2: girl can act because I believe every single thing she
Speaker 2: says and does.
Speaker 3: She's brilliant. She's absolutely brilliant in every way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Vanessa and Laura are both.
Speaker 3: Like working with her was so much fun. She was
Speaker 3: just like she was hitting the ball over the net,
Speaker 3: like with some real fur on it, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, Just like, yeah, just amazing actress.
Speaker 2: I know we tell you guys this all the time,
Speaker 2: but the Laura and Vanessa are the sweetest girls. Like
Speaker 2: shout out to their parents, who must be amazing because
Speaker 2: they are the sweet girls. Anyway, I found some email
Speaker 2: that Laura had sent me years ago the other day
Speaker 2: and it was just like, Oh my god, she's just
Speaker 2: the coolest, coolest.
Speaker 6: She really is.
Speaker 2: Scott. Yes, I know you kind of talked about it
Speaker 2: with the tennis ball with the fur on it. But
Speaker 2: when you watch those scenes with Vanessa Slash April, you
Speaker 2: must be so proud of her.
Speaker 3: I always have been, and it doesn't surprise me how
Speaker 3: great she comes off. And I don't remember filming any
Speaker 3: of this stuff. I don't remember these scenes, but they're
Speaker 3: a joy to watch because it's like she was so
Speaker 3: easy to work with, and she was so prepared and
Speaker 3: she's so good and she just gets it. You know,
Speaker 3: she's young and super smart and at that time and
Speaker 3: very talented, and she she just got it. You know,
Speaker 3: she just understood it.
Speaker 2: So we go from there to Harris and Rory's oh,
Speaker 2: this is the scene. This is the scene. Oh God,
Speaker 2: good everybody, it's so good. So so we're getting ready
Speaker 2: for the two thousand and two party and Paris comes
Speaker 2: in and she's like, is there gonna be dancing? And
Speaker 2: I mean the direction on this and I am no director,
Speaker 2: and I don't know. Diddley was unbelievable because it's so clever, like, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's get Rory on the phone with Loralai and then
Speaker 2: we're gonna have Paris and Doyle dancing in the background.
Speaker 2: And they're dancing is just flawless, Like I mean, and
Speaker 2: you see the genius of Kenny Ortega because he choreographed that. Obviously,
Speaker 2: obviously the man's a legend.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like they're in you They're not even in the room.
Speaker 6: They're in the bedroom and the door's open right on
Speaker 6: the jammin.
Speaker 2: The dancing was like Conic and told it, like to me,
Speaker 2: you know, John Travolta and Uma Thurman, and I'm like
Speaker 2: that is that? Like they weren't doing those moves, But
Speaker 2: it was just so awesome. I could have watched that
Speaker 2: scene all African day anyway. I mean, I kind of
Speaker 2: was glad that we sort of had this dumb banter
Speaker 2: between Rory and Lourai because I just only want to
Speaker 2: be watching the dancing. But they're kind of bantering. They're
Speaker 2: sort of having a this pay me thirty dollars, twelve dollars,
Speaker 2: one cent, fifty dollars, twenty dollars, and it was just
Speaker 2: this sort of nonsense, which I get because then we
Speaker 2: could pay attention to the dancing.
Speaker 4: This is a big year for Kenny Artega. He launched
Speaker 4: high school musical this year too, Oh.
Speaker 2: The Man, and we acknowledge Marty again. I think Scott
Speaker 2: said it best. We're they're trying to make something a
Speaker 2: storyline happen that doesn't have any weight, but they sure
Speaker 2: still are trying, because she's like, he's cold and weird,
Speaker 2: and it was years ago, and she sort of acknowledges
Speaker 2: what Tara said, YadA YadA. So I'd love to hear
Speaker 2: everybody on the dancing other than just me.
Speaker 6: I completely forgot what Laura and Rory's conversation was because
Speaker 6: I remember the dancing.
Speaker 2: Scott, when you say that was intentional that it's just
Speaker 2: sort of nonsense. What twenty dollars?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: The phone call was? It had dialogue, but we're supposed
Speaker 2: to be watching the dancing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't help, but notice, I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: I think they thought that there's this potent combination of
Speaker 3: silly dialogue that's supposed to really hit as funny, and
Speaker 3: it was. It was humorous, you know, I don't know
Speaker 3: how hysterically funny. It was, but I think you don't
Speaker 3: want to steal the joke from the dancing, because that's
Speaker 3: really the funny.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was so good, and.
Speaker 3: The fact that it's in the background makes it even
Speaker 3: more brilliant.
Speaker 2: And they kind of did there was a little meat,
Speaker 2: so basically, Tara, since you missed it, they kind of
Speaker 2: banter back and forth about what she's gonna fledge for
Speaker 2: the nitathon, and then we learned that the town it
Speaker 2: didn't go so great walking through town, and then they
Speaker 2: kind of acknowledge Marty and that whole thing, and she
Speaker 2: sort of says to Michelle Obama, you know when they
Speaker 2: go low, you go high, like take the high road,
Speaker 2: be the one, be.
Speaker 4: The bigger person.
Speaker 2: Great, it was all great. Now we're at the house
Speaker 2: and Christopher's getting ready for his mandate with the farmer
Speaker 2: and he's wearing a black button down that's just a
Speaker 2: little bit too city and a little bit too tight,
Speaker 2: and the jeans are a little too tight. I thought
Speaker 2: it was funny.
Speaker 3: I was hilarious. Yeah, I didn't. Oh no, why I
Speaker 3: didn't think it was a funny situation. It didn't matter
Speaker 3: who was playing the parts. To me, that's not a
Speaker 3: funny situation that's not going to make me laugh. I
Speaker 3: thought it was just me, that's just me personal right.
Speaker 2: Well, also, you might be coming from a guye perspective,
Speaker 2: whereas like we're coming from the girl perspective where she's
Speaker 2: like and her acting I thought was so good, just
Speaker 2: the kind of like the little nuances of the that
Speaker 2: you know, and like I thought his outfit was good,
Speaker 2: but it was very la outfit. It was like it
Speaker 2: was not maybe what you go to the bar and starting.
Speaker 3: I mean, if that was me, I would have just
Speaker 3: walked out the door and smiled. So yeah, okay, sure,
Speaker 3: see you later. So I mean, just where just to
Speaker 3: own it, dude, where what you want? Walk out of
Speaker 3: the house. You know.
Speaker 2: I think he's trying, you know, I think he wants
Speaker 2: to do right by her, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I think he gets it. He's trying to do what
Speaker 2: I wants.
Speaker 4: To immerse himself into her world, even though it's just
Speaker 4: not it.
Speaker 3: He he just needs to be himself.
Speaker 2: I think this is where she says, they gave us
Speaker 2: the tolerating that we're here wagon, and we kind of
Speaker 2: learned that, like the other couples got better wagons the
Speaker 2: hole to do. So, then we go to the bar.
Speaker 2: Now have we seen this bar before? And please don't
Speaker 2: yell at me.
Speaker 7: Is it the bar the Dean went to or.
Speaker 3: No, I've never seen that bar. I wanted to sit
Speaker 3: in that bar me too.
Speaker 2: Other than the very small television, I was like, the
Speaker 2: television that had the game on really dated the episode.
Speaker 2: But otherwise I was like, the bar was fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't remember if it's the one that Dean
Speaker 6: went too and he was about again divorced.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe I don't remember. But anyway, it's awkward at first,
Speaker 2: and then we got to it with Jackson and Christopher,
Speaker 2: and I gotta say I liked the analogy. You know,
Speaker 2: you gotta be one hundred percent committed. We love farming,
Speaker 2: Suki and I, you know, and I really I liked
Speaker 2: the I ended up really liking that scene, and obviously
Speaker 2: it ultimately went well because Christopher is a bit more popular.
Speaker 3: That's the scene we've seen a million times before. That's
Speaker 3: a that's a classic scene, you know, where the guys
Speaker 3: got a pass muster.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yes, well said yeah, and it seems
Speaker 2: that he did so. Then a scene I did not
Speaker 2: care for at all. Anna and Luke at the restaurant,
Speaker 2: and I just thought, you know what, Anna, you suck?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was not a good look for Anna.
Speaker 4: Oh and I kind of needed it though, because it
Speaker 4: made me realize that she sucks.
Speaker 2: Like I needed that, And you're being so reasonable and
Speaker 2: so collaborative, and it's just like, you suck, Amma, You're
Speaker 2: not you know what, you took this, you took twelve
Speaker 2: years away from him, right. I was not pleased. Also,
Speaker 2: where were they?
Speaker 3: Do you think?
Speaker 4: It's like a like, did she ever say why exactly?
Speaker 4: She's moving over there? Remind me?
Speaker 2: And she's from New Mexico. And then she needs to
Speaker 2: go take care of her mother.
Speaker 4: I wonder if for a second, I'm like, I wonder
Speaker 4: if she was doing it for selfish reasons and she's
Speaker 4: just like annoy that she's getting so close to lose.
Speaker 2: I believe that the mother's sick, but she's the reason that.
Speaker 6: Okay, So then this is what I got from it.
Speaker 6: So the reason why April was with Luke when she
Speaker 6: got her appendix out is because Anna went to go
Speaker 6: see her mom.
Speaker 7: She wasn't even frown, that's right.
Speaker 2: Because she is with her mom and that's how we
Speaker 2: get the beginning of the storyline that the mom needs help. Yes,
Speaker 2: you know, but her reason for out wanting to move
Speaker 2: her mom, Oh, she's been in that house forty years.
Speaker 2: It's like, but you're gonna uproot your kid, nor even
Speaker 2: a sick grandmother would be like, no, no, no, you're not
Speaker 2: uprooting the kid. I'll come and live with you.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: That where were they?
Speaker 3: Was?
Speaker 8: That?
Speaker 2: Was that in Stars Hollow? Where were they? Or were they?
Speaker 2: I don't know where that restaurant was, but I kept
Speaker 2: trying to zoom in on.
Speaker 3: The No, that was the Stars Hall.
Speaker 2: Wasn't It's not the bakery another bakery? It was all right, well.
Speaker 3: Anyway, wasn't It wasn't Al's Pancake World.
Speaker 2: It was no. And it wasn't what's the bakery with
Speaker 2: the lady that passed away? Oh wasn't that.
Speaker 6: I know where you're talking about, But that wasn't that anyway,
Speaker 6: Weston's West It wasn't so okay.
Speaker 3: But I've seen that restaurant before.
Speaker 2: I feel like I had to. So then it's showtime.
Speaker 2: Luke the baby and the baby just like appeared, you know.
Speaker 2: First of all, he gets the phone call. He goes
Speaker 2: rushing off, great, you know WHOA Okay, it's time, and
Speaker 2: then they do get a scene. We get a scene
Speaker 2: in a minute where suddenly the baby's born. We didn't
Speaker 2: have to see the birth. It doesn't happen right there,
Speaker 2: but I'll get to it. So he gets the phone call,
Speaker 2: he rushes out the nitathon has begun. In the next scene,
Speaker 2: Kirk's walking around free needles, Taylor's in head to toe knit.
Speaker 2: I want to watch it again to just see every
Speaker 2: detail of the scene. Twenty five Lemonade for the bridge.
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful autumnal day, ten to ten. They talk
Speaker 2: about the great bridges, the Golden Gate, the Brooklyn, and
Speaker 2: then of course the old Muddy River Bridge.
Speaker 4: And they like, you have three minutes.
Speaker 2: They don't have their things synced up. Yeah, I just
Speaker 2: knew we were in for a great scene so I
Speaker 2: could watch. I wish I was there, Like, I just
Speaker 2: wish I was there. I want to go to the nitathon.
Speaker 2: I want to hang out. I want to pull in
Speaker 2: the game arrow.
Speaker 3: The whole that was a cozy stars hollow. I wanted
Speaker 3: to be there too. That's that's a very cozy place
Speaker 3: right there, you.
Speaker 2: Know, it really is a town. If my town had that,
Speaker 2: I'd be stoked. Okay, it's time for Lucy's a party,
Speaker 2: and Lucy is so stoked that Paris is there. Uh,
Speaker 2: Marty's at the bar. We kind of have the moment
Speaker 2: of are we done being a jerk here? Yes, I'm done.
Speaker 2: We're friends again.
Speaker 3: And not allowed of red meat here. It just seemed
Speaker 3: like it's like, you know, that's all I have to say.
Speaker 2: And they must have paid a lot for that Pink song.
Speaker 3: I think I think Doyle stole that storyline for sure.
Speaker 3: Totally amazing watching.
Speaker 2: And then in the I mean, uh, coming out Amy
Speaker 2: it was better get this party.
Speaker 7: And the Nelly song.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, they made of money to clear
Speaker 2: music for this episode because usually.
Speaker 6: Scott, when there's a party and there's people dancing, aren't
Speaker 6: you just dancing to nothing? Right?
Speaker 2: The song later? But they still pay a lot of
Speaker 2: money for that song.
Speaker 6: But I feel like for this scene, especially the one
Speaker 6: in the apartment, they kind of had to know what
Speaker 6: was going to be played, right or no, they'll play.
Speaker 3: They'll play it for the extras and they'll play so
Speaker 3: they get the rhythm and I'm.
Speaker 8: Dancing to playing dancing here, so you better get this
Speaker 8: party started, which I was laughing because my six year
Speaker 8: old and eight year old nieces were in a dance
Speaker 8: recital this weekend and that was the finale song.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh my god, I'm coming out. I
Speaker 2: want to do all their moves. Okay, Suddenly the baby
Speaker 2: Doula is born, which I was glad we didn't have
Speaker 2: to go through the birth. It's like, we got there,
Speaker 2: the baby's born. It looked like a seen beautiful zebra
Speaker 2: rug funny little old there you go, little Doula, your
Speaker 2: uncle Doula. And then they bring up, wah, cousin, April
Speaker 2: is going to be the best babysitter ever. Oh so
Speaker 2: you had that moment.
Speaker 6: Right, which was a great setup before the end of
Speaker 6: this episode, because I think even like as an audience,
Speaker 6: you're like, you're right, like this, this Doula doesn't have
Speaker 6: really any other family.
Speaker 7: I mean, there's Jess, but it.
Speaker 2: Realized, right.
Speaker 6: I think.
Speaker 3: I think it's a very nice moment for Luke at
Speaker 3: the end of that because he's thinking about April. He's
Speaker 3: thinking about is he ever going to have another kid again?
Speaker 3: You think about how lonely he's going to be with
Speaker 3: Anna going I'm sorry with with April leaving. It really
Speaker 3: softened him. I thought the writers did an exemplary job
Speaker 3: of showing another side of Luke, you know, and even
Speaker 3: a more combative side of him standing up for himself.
Speaker 3: Uh when he did, he didn't go over the top
Speaker 3: with it with the anger. It was just you know,
Speaker 3: more more firm but vulnerable, you know. Yes, yes, now
Speaker 3: that's Kenny Ortego.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, everybody right now, you can call eight eight
Speaker 5: eight seven oh two seven eight seven.
Speaker 3: Three for the Gilmour Girls coffees the three blends of
Speaker 3: Luke's Diner Blend, the Stars Hollow Blend and the Dragonfly
Speaker 3: in two X talk Fast double Caffeine Blend. That's eight
Speaker 3: eight eight seven O two seven eight seven three and
Speaker 3: a Warner Brothers Studio rep will assist you with your order,
Speaker 3: So enjoy the coffee.
Speaker 2: So now we're at the Nitathon, which looked like the
Speaker 2: best time ever until Christopher ruined it. So, you know,
Speaker 2: Taylor makes the announcements they've raised twenty two hundred dollars
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh no, are we gonna be able
Speaker 2: to do it? And then he goes and donates and
Speaker 2: just everybody packs up and literally it was bummed. Everyone
Speaker 2: was like, worth the thrill out of here, Gypsy's gonna
Speaker 2: go to a movie. But I was bummed. I felt
Speaker 2: I was like, no, I want eight more scenes of this.
Speaker 2: So and I think that's intentionally you realize you're like, oh, Christopher,
Speaker 2: you dumb, dumb.
Speaker 3: And get it.
Speaker 4: He doesn't get it, doesn't don't remember.
Speaker 6: Like I was thinking about when I was a kid,
Speaker 6: we used to do like the magazine drives where you'd
Speaker 6: go to people, you know, be Zeene drives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everythign drives and cook Doo drives, every drive. They
Speaker 4: still exist. I get them all the time from my
Speaker 4: nieces and nephews.
Speaker 6: But it's like thinking about it, it made me think
Speaker 6: of like it like my parents always bought one thing
Speaker 6: because they had to, but like they didn't buy everything
Speaker 6: so I could win the prize.
Speaker 7: It was like you gotta go work for it.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean you think about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cartwheel, how many cartwheels can she do? Like is
Speaker 2: there a maximum? She's all two hundred and fifty And
Speaker 2: I'm like great, okay, because it's like a cartwheel all
Speaker 2: day long. Okay. So that was a long one.
Speaker 4: He met well though, like, I get it, guy, but
Speaker 4: it just shows like he's me. He's trying really hard,
Speaker 4: but he's not the right thing.
Speaker 2: Salla is not the place where you're flashy with your money.
Speaker 2: They don't they don't jive with that, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So then we go to the party and there's dancing
Speaker 2: and Olivia goes after the buzz cut guy. So that
Speaker 2: has Rory and Marty on the couch and chatting, and
Speaker 2: then and you're more beautiful than ever.
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, it all just everything's coming out of
Speaker 3: left field. Yeah, you know, didn't mind it, you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, it's okay, it's fine.
Speaker 2: Good scene. It just was like, yeah, so just.
Speaker 3: What's happening in her life is not all that fascinating
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 2: No, that's correct, right. I think that's a fair statement.
Speaker 2: So that's the best we can get.
Speaker 3: With that, minus Logan. It's kind of trippy.
Speaker 5: Then.
Speaker 2: I thought this scene was kind of something I don't
Speaker 2: know what the word is yet. I'll get to I'll
Speaker 2: figure out what the word is. If of lower Li
Speaker 2: and Christopher walking, you know, you don't have to try
Speaker 2: so hard. I'm trying so hard because I sort of
Speaker 2: feel like you want me to try so hard. And
Speaker 2: then they say I love you a lot. She says,
Speaker 2: I'm going to be here loving you. It's very lovey.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and I bought it.
Speaker 2: It didn't seem fake.
Speaker 4: Because I do think she does love him. You know
Speaker 4: she does. She does because of all their history. I
Speaker 4: just don't know if she's in love with him as
Speaker 4: her husband.
Speaker 2: Really really well done. Seen the truck pulls up. Immediately,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I want to know what's happening here.
Speaker 2: Anna opens the door. She says, April's it hoo'sy doozies,
Speaker 2: and Luke immediately knows, yes, I know, and I know
Speaker 2: she has a peanutalergy and I know I know, I know,
Speaker 2: I know. And then he brings it. He's like, She's like,
Speaker 2: what are you doing here, Luke? And he's like, you
Speaker 2: know what, this is what I'm doing here. Finally, but
Speaker 2: I have amy. I had been waiting for this for
Speaker 2: so long to say I am her dad. I have rights.
Speaker 2: I think you say that I have rights and great scene.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm thoughts. Yeah, true. It was powerful good writing.
Speaker 3: You know, when you get right good acting, when you
Speaker 3: get writing that juicy, it's it's I'm not saying it's
Speaker 3: easy to deliver it, but it's it makes my job
Speaker 3: a lot easier, you know, because they understand all the
Speaker 3: beats and it's just laid out there right for you.
Speaker 3: And you know, kudos to the writers on that absolutely
Speaker 3: and Sherylyn Fent, you know, knowing her job, you know,
Speaker 3: because a lot of people would sort of engage in
Speaker 3: that fight and try to steal that scene. She knew
Speaker 3: her job, you know, she did.
Speaker 2: And she was great too. I agree with you. She
Speaker 2: acted it so.
Speaker 3: Well, all beautifully.
Speaker 2: The subtlety, the eyes, the face so good.
Speaker 6: I think it was also just a relief that like
Speaker 6: Luke finally just stood up for himself and April, like
Speaker 6: I think we've been waiting and he's been so patient,
Speaker 6: and like we've all been patient with him, but it
Speaker 6: was like, no, this was the final straw. He's also
Speaker 6: a parent, he's her parent, and he also I feel
Speaker 6: like it wasn't fair that she told April before she
Speaker 6: told Luke. I feel like it should have been a
Speaker 6: conversation between the parents were telling April, and also like
Speaker 6: there was no conversation, it was just when we talked
Speaker 6: about it.
Speaker 3: But it was just he was just you know, it
Speaker 3: shows Luke as the polar opposite of Christopher and said,
Speaker 3: this is how you fight for your family, This is
Speaker 3: how you fight for your daughter, you know. And Christopher
Speaker 3: was there for Rory when they weren't even related by blood,
Speaker 3: but he was there for her all in, willing to
Speaker 3: like take the bullet for you know, her whole life.
Speaker 3: And now he's got his own daughter and fault him
Speaker 3: for you know, delaying the marriage Laurel I and ultimately
Speaker 3: you know, tanking his own future in regards to Laurel I.
Speaker 3: But he's fighting for his daughter and you got to
Speaker 3: admire him for that. And so I think it's a
Speaker 3: it's a it's a very interesting contrast. He's he's everything
Speaker 3: that Christopher wasn't or isn't and is trying to be
Speaker 3: now and trying too hard to be now, but when
Speaker 3: it's too late, but it's like Luke isn't going to
Speaker 3: waste another moment sitting by the sidelines getting bullied by
Speaker 3: In and he's going to fight for his right and
Speaker 3: it was it was a really powerful scene. I don't
Speaker 3: really I didn't remember the scene and I was blown
Speaker 3: away by it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great scene. Yeah, and there we have it.
Speaker 3: There, we have it all right. What are we going
Speaker 3: to give it, folks? And what's your measuring stick?
Speaker 2: Wolfgirl paintings, Cave Girl Paintings ten, ten out.
Speaker 3: Of ten, yeah, Wolfgirl paintings, tar, what do you give it?
Speaker 6: I'm going to give it nine suky spaghetti knit balls whatever.
Speaker 4: They are, Danielle, what are you gonna I'm going to
Speaker 4: give it eight point five regular yarn balls.
Speaker 3: Scott, I've got to take my hat off to it.
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to give it a nine and
Speaker 3: a half as well, because I'm to deduct five tenths
Speaker 3: for the the Marty Rory snoozethon stuff. So but other
Speaker 3: than that, I thought it was just kind of a
Speaker 3: perfect episode. It was really everything that Girl Gilmore Girls
Speaker 3: does really really well, everything that that show is about,
Speaker 3: with the right amount of conflict, but with that great
Speaker 3: that great spice, that great feeling of the town coming
Speaker 3: together to do something and kind of in a silly
Speaker 3: way and everybody gets to be eccentric and weird and
Speaker 3: happy and together. So it gave me that good Gilmore
Speaker 3: feeling again. So loved it and I'm gonna give it
Speaker 3: a measuring stick. Is what's the measuring stick going to be.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say nine point five court orders from Luke's lawyer.
Speaker 3: All right, everybody, that's going to wrap it up. Uh.
Speaker 3: Next episode is season seven, episode ten, Mary Fisticoff. So
Speaker 3: that sounds quite provocative. Thank you, ladies. Danielle Romo, Tara
