Speaker 1: Everybody. Scott Patterson, animal and podcast about to run the
Speaker 1: audio for you from the panel discussion we had with
Speaker 1: Matt Sucreet, John Carberry, Johnny truesdale myself at the epics
Speaker 1: and chill fan convention in Charleston, South Carolina. Here it is.
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy it. I am all in with
Speaker 1: Scott Patterson and I heart radio PODCAST. So, since the
Speaker 1: show was called Gilmore Girls, I know, Matt, you came
Speaker 1: on later in the show, but would you guys audition? Like,
Speaker 1: did you know that it was going to be this
Speaker 1: really big thing that people were gonna go this crazy for?
Speaker 1: Was this something that you expected? No, uh no, I
Speaker 1: mean I don't even think after the show went off
Speaker 1: the air we thought that was gonna happen. I mean
Speaker 1: it wasn't to Netflix that it really like when crazy
Speaker 1: in terms of yeah, and also you have to understand
Speaker 1: that you the show started, it was the very highly
Speaker 1: loved by the reviews and the critics and the press,
Speaker 1: but it took a minute for people to discover the
Speaker 1: show and it was at a time where studios actually
Speaker 1: gave us the time to build an audience, which nowadays
Speaker 1: it's a different world. So it. We saw it grow
Speaker 1: year by year by year, and so it was not
Speaker 1: an instant Um cultish show. Yeah, so, Matt, when you
Speaker 1: joined the show you were kind of coming in. How
Speaker 1: did you feel about joining the show after it had
Speaker 1: started and what was that experience like? We're excited and
Speaker 1: how did it feel to be, you know, get the role? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I came on in season five and so these guys
Speaker 1: are the originals right here, you know. So I was
Speaker 1: just coming in just not to try and screw it up. Um,
Speaker 1: I know some of you guys I probably did screw
Speaker 1: it up for because there's the whole team Logan, team Dean,
Speaker 1: team Jess. So yeah, so when I came in I
Speaker 1: may have screwed it up a little bit in terms
Speaker 1: of uh, team jefs or team dean. But Um, it
Speaker 1: was already such a popular show at that time and
Speaker 1: it was such a unique show in terms of, of course,
Speaker 1: the pace and the comedy and the writing. So to
Speaker 1: be a part of something like that was really special
Speaker 1: and for me it was really my first job, a
Speaker 1: consistent job. So it's it's really special for me to
Speaker 1: have been a part of it and to be a
Speaker 1: part of something that the fans have loved for so long.
Speaker 1: So many, like you mentioned Netflix, was a whole another
Speaker 1: generation of fans. Uh to do that reunion that we
Speaker 1: did in to be able to do the reboot. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just a credit to all you guys because of
Speaker 1: the passion that you have for the characters, the passion
Speaker 1: you have for Stars Hollow, the passion that you have
Speaker 1: for the writing and the material and the pace of it.
Speaker 1: So thank you, guys for loving it so much. And
Speaker 1: I came on in season five and had an idea
Speaker 1: that it was already this very special, special show. So, Um,
Speaker 1: I have somebody in the Audience Cajun California. Where is
Speaker 1: Cajun California? Do you want to come up and ask
Speaker 1: you a question? I am Lacy Um. So, before the
Speaker 1: reboot came on, Amy Sherman Palladino was really rumored as
Speaker 1: saying that she didn't since she didn't have anything to
Speaker 1: do with the season seven, she was saying that it
Speaker 1: didn't happen in her eyes. So I always wondered if
Speaker 1: Um Y'all were given any direction as far as did
Speaker 1: that happen or did it not happen, because that would
Speaker 1: mean that Laura la I never got married to Christopher Logan,
Speaker 1: never broke up with rory. So what what do y'all
Speaker 1: say about that? You know, the Nice thing about the reboot,
Speaker 1: to the revival was that amy and Dan directed and
Speaker 1: wrote all those episodes. So, to to your question, you know,
Speaker 1: that was Netflix presented an opportunity where they could write,
Speaker 1: um and direct all those episodes. So they got to
Speaker 1: finish it in the way that they wanted and I
Speaker 1: think that that was really special for all of us
Speaker 1: to come back and work with amy and Dan again because,
Speaker 1: you know, it's their show. So the cool thing about us,
Speaker 1: for as actors, Um, was just being able to be
Speaker 1: able to finish the vision that they kind of originally wanted.
Speaker 1: You know, whether they liked season seven or not is
Speaker 1: kind of, I think, moot at this point, because we
Speaker 1: had a chance to do the revival and they finished
Speaker 1: it in the way that they wanted to finish it,
Speaker 1: and you know that that what's often not talked about
Speaker 1: is that the the writers in season seven were were
Speaker 1: writers that were on season six. There were a lot
Speaker 1: of folks that that passed over and Um and they
Speaker 1: they you know, really cared about amy and Dan's vision
Speaker 1: and they wanted amy and Dan's vision to ultimately, Um,
Speaker 1: be the one to end this. So there were there
Speaker 1: was actually a lot in season seven that was left
Speaker 1: for a potential revival, if, if, if that were to
Speaker 1: come and so, yeah, and you can see that. Obviously
Speaker 1: we all knew that there were four last words that
Speaker 1: that amy always wanted to get to. That was something
Speaker 1: that was known while we were shooting the show. They didn't,
Speaker 1: they didn't uh mess with that in season seven so
Speaker 1: that amy could come back to it when she eventually
Speaker 1: had the opportunity, which she did. Um. I think one
Speaker 1: one point that I'd like to make is that, you know,
Speaker 1: with the with the death of Ed Herman, really changed
Speaker 1: what the episodes were going to be. You know, if
Speaker 1: with Ed, you know with us, Um, you know, that's
Speaker 1: a whole different experience, right, and I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I think maybe uh best laid plans, etcetera, etcetera, but
Speaker 1: maybe it was gonna be a big wedding, right, the
Speaker 1: four episodes were gonna be like, you know, the first
Speaker 1: episode was would be before the wedding, and then two
Speaker 1: and three were the actual wedding and then the and
Speaker 1: then the the final act. Um. But I think you
Speaker 1: have to honor somebody of the weight, uh, and especially
Speaker 1: given the contribution that Ed made to that show, uh,
Speaker 1: because he's just, you know, a legendary actor. I remember
Speaker 1: the first day, Um, that I was going to work
Speaker 1: with Ed Herman, and I woke up and I realized,
Speaker 1: my God, you know, look at this man's resume and
Speaker 1: what he's done in the business and, uh, I was nervous,
Speaker 1: I was excited, I was it was exhilarating experience. He
Speaker 1: was just a really generous actor to work with. Um,
Speaker 1: he knew that I was nervous and he did everything
Speaker 1: he could to calm you down. That's what the great
Speaker 1: ones do, you know, they know that you're a little
Speaker 1: green and you're nervous and you want to do really well, uh,
Speaker 1: and and they elevate you. So that was what Ed
Speaker 1: brought to the Party. Awesome. So I feel like you guys,
Speaker 1: you played your character so well and the show felt
Speaker 1: so real that, like, people really equate you guys to
Speaker 1: those characters that you played. Like they almost expect you
Speaker 1: to be manning a coffee shop and now you have
Speaker 1: coffee that you sell. Um, you know, I think they would.
Speaker 1: They think you're in a hotel somewhere and that you know, Matt,
Speaker 1: you're jet setting around and you've still got a band
Speaker 1: G on. Right. So how does it feel to be
Speaker 1: they feel that Matt's in their bedroom. That's that's right
Speaker 1: and I'm not wrong. I'll sell coffee. He can be
Speaker 1: at the hotel and Matt is like. So there's I'm
Speaker 1: just there's a is a centric different energy in this
Speaker 1: panel today because Matt's here. It's loud. Matt, do you
Speaker 1: have anything to say for yourself? Um, no, I'm embarrassed. Well,
Speaker 1: we're very happy to have you here. I'm grateful to
Speaker 1: be here. You know, with these guys, it's great to
Speaker 1: see them again. Ye's good to see you and, like
Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top, again we uh Um, we
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been able to do this, this show, or
Speaker 1: be able to be here if it wasn't for the fans.
Speaker 1: So again, just thank you for watching and being so
Speaker 1: loving of the show in general, you know, and all
Speaker 1: the characters like you mentioned. So, Jessica Balance, where's Jessica Balance?
Speaker 1: Raise your hand. We've got a mic that's coming to you. Hi,
Speaker 1: it's so nice to meet you. My question was, are
Speaker 1: you guys team Dean, Team Jess or team Logan? I'll
Speaker 1: tell you right now. I'm this guy. That's a cool
Speaker 1: dude right there. That is a very cool too. We
Speaker 1: just podcasted together. He's a very cool dude. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll say the same. Don't, don't succumb to it. Don't succumb. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'M gonna. I'm gonna give my honest answer. I just
Speaker 1: watched the series for the first time last year, so
Speaker 1: I saw I have a true fan perspective on this.
Speaker 1: I am so I began as team dean. Then he
Speaker 1: gets a little weird, and and I and, but I never,
Speaker 1: I never got on the team Jezz train. Sorry, team
Speaker 1: Jess Fans Um. I mentioned this to Matt earlier. When
Speaker 1: the Logan Characters first introduced, I found him insufferably entitled. Um,
Speaker 1: and then with you jump, I jumped Jack. I was sold.
Speaker 1: I was team Logan for the later part. Hold on, though.
Speaker 1: I'm team just for the revival. I feel like I
Speaker 1: have to weigh in right. Um, I think, uh Oh boy,
Speaker 1: you aren't going to succumb, are you? Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I've kind of Um. Well, first of all, I guess
Speaker 1: I would say the we go back to that question
Speaker 1: about season seven. You know, I like the way that
Speaker 1: that ended in terms of UH Logan asking, you know,
Speaker 1: rory to marry marry him and she says No. I
Speaker 1: like that individuality that she has. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: the core piece of the show and just like at
Speaker 1: the end of the reboot that we did, she's also
Speaker 1: on her own. So and I think Scott, you may
Speaker 1: have mentioned when we did that Um the reunion on stage,
Speaker 1: you kind of were like all three of them, none
Speaker 1: are none of them are good enough for her. I
Speaker 1: remember you saying that. But for me, I think the
Speaker 1: core of the show is is Lourela and rory and
Speaker 1: the independence and you know, so many people who have
Speaker 1: watched the show of connected as mothers and daughters. So
Speaker 1: for me I like the way that the show ended
Speaker 1: up in both ways, because she was kind of on
Speaker 1: her own, and that's as a fan trying to remove
Speaker 1: myself outside of it. That's kind of how I saw
Speaker 1: their storyline. So I like the way that the show
Speaker 1: in season seven and the reboot ended, and that's not
Speaker 1: just me saying, Oh, I don't want to pick one
Speaker 1: of those characters, it's just the core of the show
Speaker 1: for me was Laura, Lae and rory and, uh, feminism
Speaker 1: and mother daughter connection, and I think that that's why
Speaker 1: people connect to the show to this day, because those
Speaker 1: are universal themes. So that's why I kind of say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm glad she's not with anyone. Yeah, you know, you're right.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's Laureline, it's rory dipping into
Speaker 1: different worlds. You know, they're Laurel E is going into
Speaker 1: the world of her parents, parents what she left, and
Speaker 1: she's going into stars hollow. Then she's got her professional
Speaker 1: world and then she's got the diner world and then
Speaker 1: she's got kid world that she has to deal with
Speaker 1: because of rory. Rory same thing, dealing with her grandparents,
Speaker 1: dealing with laurelized adult world, dealing with stars hollow world
Speaker 1: and then Chilton and now ultimately Harvard. What she chose
Speaker 1: to jump on that though. But you know, Luke and
Speaker 1: Laurel was so clear, you know, and that happened in
Speaker 1: the revival, which was so great, the wedding, so that
Speaker 1: was always so clear with the fans. So those two
Speaker 1: characters had to be together, so that that was just
Speaker 1: something beautiful that we got to connect to and then
Speaker 1: the revival, because they just they had to be together.
Speaker 1: You know that, right? And Luke would visit grandparents world
Speaker 1: in other worlds and we would see how awkward and
Speaker 1: out of place he truly was and where he really
Speaker 1: needed to just stay. He wasn't a successful traveler into
Speaker 1: other worlds, whereas, whereas Laura Line and and Rory, we're
Speaker 1: very successful, you know. Uh, and I just we just
Speaker 1: did a podcast episode of the H Lane gets drunk.
Speaker 1: They played the Party and she calls her mother and says, Mama,
Speaker 1: I'm dating Dave Rikalski and and uh, and I wish
Speaker 1: Adam Brody was here because his performance is unb believable, unbelievable,
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm you know, uh. So it's fun to
Speaker 1: inhabit all of these different worlds and I thought that
Speaker 1: was one of the best examples of how I remember
Speaker 1: my high school years was pretty much like that party, uh,
Speaker 1: with you know, there were people poking, there were people
Speaker 1: playing with Punk rock music and the you know, being
Speaker 1: heartbroken and fights breaking out. By the way, one of
Speaker 1: the best fights I've ever seen between jared and Milo.
Speaker 1: That was that was a great fight. Do you guys
Speaker 1: know that Scott has a podcast and guess what, you're
Speaker 1: on it right now. I think you guys need to
Speaker 1: scream a little ouder for the podcast. There we go.
Speaker 1: All right, Fran Frankie, where's Fran Frankie? Can we get
Speaker 1: a mic over there please? Hi, guys, Um, I have
Speaker 1: a fun question. So in one episode Michelle comes back
Speaker 1: from California and he was on the prices right. If
Speaker 1: your character could go on any game show or reality
Speaker 1: TV show, what would it be? Oh, that that's a
Speaker 1: funny thought. That's a funny question. Wow, uh, big brother,
Speaker 1: that'd be funny. Um, I don't know. You put that
Speaker 1: character with anyone that you know that you're gonna have tension,
Speaker 1: free ship. So that's a funny question. Yeah, big brother
Speaker 1: is a funny one. Or what's that? What's that reality
Speaker 1: show where you can't see the other person, blind love
Speaker 1: or something, and you ask questions without seeing the person?
Speaker 1: That would be funny. And with the other panelists, what
Speaker 1: game show or TV reality show would y'all be on?
Speaker 1: OR THEIR CHARACTER? Your character would be jeopardy jar? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'll just say the amazing race, just because
Speaker 1: I like the amazing race. Do you know it would
Speaker 1: be an opportunity for me to go see the world.
Speaker 1: I guess. Do you think your character would survive long
Speaker 1: on their amazing race? Probably not. Reality Show, wow show.
Speaker 1: Can You Imagine Michelle on survivor? Yes, I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that. You know that. That's actually a good,
Speaker 1: good answer for Logan. You know, just that adventure aspect.
Speaker 1: You would do that. So, uh, I'm gonna Piggyback on Survivor.
Speaker 1: We're both beyond there. Both Michelle on survivor. When I'm
Speaker 1: finished jeopardy, I'll come and join you. Guys the old
Speaker 1: dual podcast. Is Anna of of three here, or is
Speaker 1: she not here? Okay, I don't think she has so
Speaker 1: her question was. Is Scott on his podcast? You said
Speaker 1: you're we watching Gilmore girls. Which episode is your favorite?
Speaker 1: Should we play jeopardy music while he thinks about it? No, no,
Speaker 1: there's there's a couple. Um, you know, I always fall
Speaker 1: back on the pilot because that's when the magic began
Speaker 1: for me. Um, and I remember being on the set
Speaker 1: the first day because I was only a guest star
Speaker 1: in the pilot. I didn't have a regular GIG. I
Speaker 1: just thought I was gonna be there for ten days.
Speaker 1: And I would shoot my stuff and I you know,
Speaker 1: that was a nice job. But they came back in
Speaker 1: order offered two episodes. We said no and I was
Speaker 1: like why did you say? You know, Um, and then
Speaker 1: four and then they then we made a deal and
Speaker 1: it was all off to the races, much to my surprise.
Speaker 1: But I remember going there the first day on Luke's
Speaker 1: diner set, which is a real diner Um, and I
Speaker 1: saw I went early because I wanted to see I
Speaker 1: wanted to spend some time on that set to, you know,
Speaker 1: to get the scent, and Lauren and Alexis were rehearsing
Speaker 1: a scene and it just, I don't know, just everything
Speaker 1: clicked in that moment for me, thinking these two are
Speaker 1: wonderful together, they're wonderful individually and it feels kind of
Speaker 1: perfect and it's just it's just a feeling you get
Speaker 1: as an actor like these two are uncommonly talented and
Speaker 1: this looks easy for them and it's such an easy
Speaker 1: chemistry that I I got. It was just one of
Speaker 1: these magical moments. And then when I watched that scene
Speaker 1: that opens the pilot, it brings back all of these
Speaker 1: great memories. So it's always the pilot. For me it's
Speaker 1: that song, that where she's walking down the street and
Speaker 1: then into the diner and we first see her and
Speaker 1: I think here, here's another point. I don't want to
Speaker 1: take up too much time, but, Um, another thought I
Speaker 1: had about Lauren Graham was we know right away that
Speaker 1: she is going to be a star from the first
Speaker 1: moment she turns and we see her face. Don't do
Speaker 1: you feel that way? Did you feel that way when
Speaker 1: you met her on that show, because she had that expression,
Speaker 1: that little she had a little bit of fear and
Speaker 1: then that smile and she was gonna go up and
Speaker 1: ask for the coffee. I mean right away, instantly, you
Speaker 1: know that's a star right. You could just tell. So
Speaker 1: do you guys like the pilot? There's some great episodes,
Speaker 1: I mean, but the pilot for me, I have no memory.
Speaker 1: As a person, I have terrible memory, but I remember
Speaker 1: calling amy on season five and I believe it was
Speaker 1: an episode where is Emily and Richard renewing their vows.
Speaker 1: Is that okay? I thought that episode was exquisite and
Speaker 1: I told Amy, I said, this episode feels like the
Speaker 1: whole show was there for that episode to exist. That's
Speaker 1: how I felt so whatever episode that was and the
Speaker 1: way they renewed the yeah, I just thought everything about
Speaker 1: it was so precious. It was really that was a
Speaker 1: beautiful episode and really well produced. The episode was really
Speaker 1: like like a lot of a lot of background and
Speaker 1: the setting was really beautiful and also of like I
Speaker 1: feel like I had a little bit of a different
Speaker 1: tone that this show normally does. Leanna, did I say that?
Speaker 1: Right over there? She's got a question. I've got a
Speaker 1: mic over here. Hi. Um. So, if Greg Henry Mitcham
Speaker 1: Hampsburger were here, I think we know how he'd answered
Speaker 1: this question. But for the rest of the panel, given
Speaker 1: where rory was in her life and career in the reboot,
Speaker 1: a year in the life, was Mitcham huntsberger ultimately correct
Speaker 1: that she did not have the it factor for journalism?
Speaker 1: Why do you think that? That? Questions answered? I guess
Speaker 1: I just throw that back to you. Oh, no, I
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was answered. But Um, was curious,
Speaker 1: given the revival after Yale, um wondering if the cast
Speaker 1: thinks that there was some truth to what Mitcham said
Speaker 1: to her which caused her to steal the boat with you, Logan.
Speaker 1: If I was in my character's thoughts of Logan. Obviously
Speaker 1: he's Anti Dad and would be pro rory and always
Speaker 1: pushing her to go out and chase those dreams of journalism.
Speaker 1: So if I was in my Logan Brain, I would
Speaker 1: be thinking she's going to get chase that passion that
Speaker 1: she always wanted to chase. Um. So I think that
Speaker 1: she's going out there and she's doing that. So is
Speaker 1: travel fanatic. Eighteen here. I my questions for Matt Um
Speaker 1: because he went to college at Charleston. I was wondering
Speaker 1: what it's like being back here and also why did
Speaker 1: you choose to go there in the first place? Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I wanted to come and do
Speaker 1: this was just because I love Charleston so much. I
Speaker 1: went to the College at Charleston and very special place
Speaker 1: for me. In eighteen I gave the commencement address actually
Speaker 1: at the College at Charleston. I tried to get back
Speaker 1: here once a year. Um. So I came here Um
Speaker 1: partially to play tennis and then the other thing was
Speaker 1: when I came here the city was just so comforting
Speaker 1: and warm and the people are so generous and kind. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I love Charleston. It's one of my favorite
Speaker 1: places on the entire planet. Do you guys have any
Speaker 1: comments about Charleston? I know that question was for Matt,
Speaker 1: but have you, any of you been here before? Is
Speaker 1: it's your first time? It's my first time and I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. That's very cool. I didn't know Human
Speaker 1: College here. Is that very very no, I I grew
Speaker 1: up mostly in Tennessee, but yeah, I went to school
Speaker 1: or at the College of Charleston. I've I've lived all
Speaker 1: over the south, Nashville and Savannah, and I've been. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been all over the south. I've never been to Charleston. Um,
Speaker 1: and don't you call it the gem of the South?
Speaker 1: The jewel of the South? Is that? Is that? It
Speaker 1: is one of its nicknames, right. Yeah, so, Um, if
Speaker 1: we have time, I'm excited to get out there and
Speaker 1: see it. I understand and I've seen pictures and videos,
Speaker 1: but before I came here. It's gorgeous. So you're very
Speaker 1: lucky to live here and I think I want to
Speaker 1: move here. You're staying pretty busy. We're but yes, it
Speaker 1: is a beautiful town. What about you, John? I think
Speaker 1: you told me last night this is your first yeah,
Speaker 1: this is my first. It's really beautiful. I haven't really
Speaker 1: had a chance to see much, but I've heard that
Speaker 1: that there's an old town section of the city here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like down the downtown part. Yeah, that's the part I
Speaker 1: really would like to see. I hope, I hope I
Speaker 1: have a chance to. How many of you know that
Speaker 1: Scott has a coffee company as well? Yeah, have any
Speaker 1: of you drank the coffee? Why did you start a
Speaker 1: coffee company? You know, I I've always been very entrepreneurial
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was marketing and promotion takes
Speaker 1: a lot of time and effort and and money, and
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers had already done that for twenty years. So
Speaker 1: I figured, genius that I am, why not start a
Speaker 1: coffee company? Um, uh, and I love uh, I love
Speaker 1: organic coffee and Um, you know I'm very particular about it.
Speaker 1: So I, you know, developed some blends over a couple
Speaker 1: of years and many tastings and and launched a company.
Speaker 1: And that's how my mother and I connected. UH, in
Speaker 1: my more turbulent times, in my teenage years, she would
Speaker 1: sit me down for a couple of folgers freeze dried crystals, uh,
Speaker 1: and we would talk about life and what path that
Speaker 1: I was going to take. Um, and so, you know,
Speaker 1: it was very special and very deep for me. So
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's five years old now and we're
Speaker 1: we're growing at a healthy rate. Um, I've I think,
Speaker 1: you know, there were some deals thrown at me in
Speaker 1: the beginning and I just thought, Oh boy, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to give up that much of the
Speaker 1: company and I kind of want to stay in control
Speaker 1: of it because, you know, a lot of licensing deals
Speaker 1: popped up and you know that you don't do anything
Speaker 1: and they just sort of throw you a check every month,
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to do that. Um, and it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to own something a hundred percent
Speaker 1: and feel in control of it and be a CEO
Speaker 1: and and sort of learn by doing it how to
Speaker 1: grow a company. Did you love coffee prior to was
Speaker 1: it was like coffee, like a love that you had,
Speaker 1: or was yeah, so much that I can't drink it sometimes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's I have to take breaks from it. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it but, but listen to a company is like
Speaker 1: having a child. You just have to it grows a
Speaker 1: little bit at a time. At its healthiest, if it
Speaker 1: just grows too much and it's like it gets overwhelming
Speaker 1: and it's you know, you can ruin your company by
Speaker 1: having too much success too fast, you know, because it
Speaker 1: takes too much of a capital infusion, a little. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get business wonky, but it's it gets
Speaker 1: too expensive when that happens and you can like bye
Speaker 1: by the company. So we're growing at a nice, steady pace.
Speaker 1: That's that's controllable. So that's awesome. Didn't have you come
Speaker 1: to celebrity Karaoke last night. Did you guys have fun?
Speaker 1: Did you know that guy could sing like that? John
Speaker 1: over here, he's like which one of the old you
Speaker 1: and I were the only ones there last night out
Speaker 1: of the ones on the stage, but it was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. But I mean saying I mean Scott Porter,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a singer. Those are singers, but
Speaker 1: I think I was. I was like, you know, but
Speaker 1: slightly above average karaoke singer. That's fine, I'm good with that.
Speaker 1: Did you have a band in high school or no?
Speaker 1: I I uh, when when I auditioned for the show,
Speaker 1: I made it very clear I didn't play any instruments,
Speaker 1: that I had never been in a band. Um. And
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't play while I was on the show.
Speaker 1: I learned. They they taught it, like they gave me
Speaker 1: the like, you know, the fretting, so I had to
Speaker 1: like like learn the fingering. But I uh, they never
Speaker 1: plugged my guitar in because it didn't well, no, that's
Speaker 1: not true. They did plug it in and then they
Speaker 1: and then they heard what it sounded like and they
Speaker 1: were like no, we're gonna actually. So, if you, if,
Speaker 1: if they had just turned the camera a little bit
Speaker 1: on any shot that we that we were playing music,
Speaker 1: you would have seen, uh, actually, Dave Regolski, the real
Speaker 1: Dave Regolski Um, who's the husband of Helen Pye, was
Speaker 1: one of the producers on the show. He would have
Speaker 1: been standing just a few feet away from me playing
Speaker 1: the guitar, because they wanted everything to sound like it
Speaker 1: was being played on set. So it was actually being
Speaker 1: played picked up by the onset MIS um. But both
Speaker 1: me and, believe it or not, Sebastian Bach, both of us,
Speaker 1: did not have any music and any sound coming out
Speaker 1: of our guitars. We were both being played by our guitars,
Speaker 1: played by actors, are musicians, right off camera. So I know, Matt,
Speaker 1: you're on a show called the resident. How's that going?
Speaker 1: You just you were shooting and you came from shooting.
Speaker 1: So I know we're we're in season six and uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna find our way to a hundred episodes this season.
Speaker 1: So it's been great. It's been great. Yeah, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you very much. Yeah, Scott, you're doing so.
Speaker 1: Chad Michael Murray and I actually filmed a movie earlier
Speaker 1: this year Western and I think you're doing something with
Speaker 1: John Michael Murray. Yeah, we're up in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
Speaker 1: doing a show called Sullivan's crossing. Chad is playing shockingly,
Speaker 1: really stretching to play this role. It's all good looking,
Speaker 1: incredibly nice guy. I don't know how he does it,
Speaker 1: but he's doing it. Um. Yeah, so we're up there shooting.
Speaker 1: We're almost done the first season and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: checking out. We're hoping. Uh, it's it's really like the
Speaker 1: character I'm playing is a guy named Sully Sullivan, and
Speaker 1: it's I put it to you this way, it's like
Speaker 1: if if luke had never met Lorelei, or they had
Speaker 1: met and never got together and he became so despondent.
Speaker 1: That he closed down the diner because she went off
Speaker 1: with Max or she went off with whoever. Um, he
Speaker 1: would have ended up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, at Sullivan's crossing.
Speaker 1: So that's really the the progression of Luke. That's what's
Speaker 1: a good sell. But it's absolutely true. I mean you
Speaker 1: can you can imagine luke turning into that character. If
Speaker 1: certain things hadn't happened in his life, if that magic
Speaker 1: angel from above had not touched his life and saved him,
Speaker 1: he would have ended up in the woods. Do Do
Speaker 1: you guys have anything that you have going on that
Speaker 1: you can talk about? I know sometimes I did a
Speaker 1: show with Melissa. We shot it in Australia last year
Speaker 1: and it came out a month ago on Netflix called
Speaker 1: odds favorite idiots. Um, so that's now available. And I'm
Speaker 1: doing a Canadian show, season three. I just finished shooting it,
Speaker 1: but it's in French, so I unfortunately you cannot see it.
Speaker 1: It's called Le Mack, which means the guys. Yes, Matt,
Speaker 1: do you have anything else that you want to talk about? Besides,
Speaker 1: there is, I didn't mean to put you on the butt,
Speaker 1: something more than a hit TV series. What are you
Speaker 1: what are you going to be doing next after this
Speaker 1: next show? But can you see into the future? Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: I just want to say congratulations all you guys. That
Speaker 1: the coffee of the work that you had a company
Speaker 1: yourself and Um, and the work you're doing. It's just
Speaker 1: really cool to hear all that. Some of that stuff
Speaker 1: I knew about, something I didn't, so that's I just
Speaker 1: want to say that they're keeping themselves busy, right. Is
Speaker 1: Sweet motion here? No, okay. They want to know, in
Speaker 1: your opinion, who is Rory's baby's father? What was the question?
Speaker 1: I didn't hear Rory's baby's father. What was the question
Speaker 1: that you've got? You've gotten really good at not answering
Speaker 1: that question, because I asked you that earlier today. You
Speaker 1: know what's funny is that one of my best friends
Speaker 1: I've known this is nine years old. His wife is
Speaker 1: a huge Gilmore girl span and we would go out
Speaker 1: drinking together and she would try to give me more drinks.
Speaker 1: He's like, come on, come on, tell me, tell me,
Speaker 1: tell me, tell me, tell and I wouldn't even tell her.
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I feel like that's that's amy and
Speaker 1: and Dan knew they created the show and and I
Speaker 1: feel like it's for them to say. Whoever that can
Speaker 1: we get it out of you. I know what I
Speaker 1: know what they told me, but that that could have
Speaker 1: changed and they haven't said publicly what it is. So
Speaker 1: I kind of leave it to them, and you know
Speaker 1: they they're the one who gave me a shot. It's
Speaker 1: hard to I think it's hard to him at end
Speaker 1: that it's not logan. Right. I mean it's either Logan
Speaker 1: or the wookie. Right. Uh No, I just think the time,
Speaker 1: I think that if you just look at it's I
Speaker 1: think it's either Logan, just based on the timing in
Speaker 1: the story, or which, you know, I actually like this
Speaker 1: answer a little bit more. It doesn't really matter because
Speaker 1: we don't know and they chose not to tell us.
Speaker 1: So that's the answer. That's why I don't say anything.
Speaker 1: Is if they want to say amy and Dan Again,
Speaker 1: it's their vision and I personally love that ending, that
Speaker 1: they got to say their last four words that they
Speaker 1: wanted to say, that it's not all wrapped up in
Speaker 1: a bow, um, but it does come full circle in
Speaker 1: terms of that story. So I just I love the
Speaker 1: way it ends in that way. You know, I really do. Um,
Speaker 1: I tell you this, though. I think it matters to
Speaker 1: rory just saying, uh, if she had the attitude, well,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's like it's I'll just have the
Speaker 1: baby and well, I mean I don't think that it
Speaker 1: matters story wise, like I I like, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know if, if, if, that's the end right. If
Speaker 1: it's not the end, then then not answering that allows,
Speaker 1: like you just mentioned, it allows for them to decide
Speaker 1: whether or not they, you know, can make a new decision.
Speaker 1: And that is that is the biggest cliffhanger and the the
Speaker 1: history of television. How do you end it there? There
Speaker 1: has to be more, more, I mean, how do you
Speaker 1: feel the last four words? Boom, but if we do
Speaker 1: get another, if we do get more, then they're not
Speaker 1: the last four words. Do you think Logan knows? No,
Speaker 1: do you think Logan Deserves Tonophie is the father? Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a good question. Again, I would I would leave
Speaker 1: that to amy and Dan because it speaks to again,
Speaker 1: if this is really the end or not. You know,
Speaker 1: if if it's not, then, as you mentioned earlier about
Speaker 1: Ed Herman, I mean life changes, characters change. When we
Speaker 1: did the reboot um every all those characters were in
Speaker 1: a different place. So you have to see the story
Speaker 1: to know in terms of what would be right for
Speaker 1: the story. But isn't it an interesting the void that
Speaker 1: Ed left and and that's the reason that the episodes
Speaker 1: feels kind of strange, right. I mean just it's like
Speaker 1: he he was such a Um, you know, he was
Speaker 1: such a touchstone, wasn't it? He was such a an
Speaker 1: anchor for that show, even though I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know that he was in every episode, but they were
Speaker 1: in a lot of them, right, they were in most
Speaker 1: of the shows, Kelly and Edward, most of the shows. Um,
Speaker 1: but wow, I mean just having this giant painting of
Speaker 1: him in the episodes. I mean, I mean, but I
Speaker 1: mean just, you know, just such a void that you feel.
Speaker 1: So how do you you know, how do you tackle that?
Speaker 1: Because then the question, you know, maybe John's right, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe it's unanswered. It's open ended, and that's it, because
Speaker 1: how can you continue without Ed Right? How is it?
Speaker 1: How do you do that? So it's I think for
Speaker 1: amy and Dan that's the equation that is deviling them. Right,
Speaker 1: would you guys, obviously we were available and it worked out.
Speaker 1: Would you guys do more are you guys willing to
Speaker 1: come back to stars hollow? Yes, for sure, I mean
Speaker 1: I don't see why hunt. Yeah, of course, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I'm in. I'm all in. Yeah, again, I personally
Speaker 1: liked the way that it ended, uh, story wise, as
Speaker 1: not wrapped in a in a bow. But Amy and
Speaker 1: Dan and they're writing and then, as I mentioned, that's
Speaker 1: the first job that I really had as a main
Speaker 1: job and I love them and I love the writing
Speaker 1: and I love the characters. Then I'll make you a deal.
Speaker 1: What if we go to amy and Dan, you and me? Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll get on a private jet. We'll go, but it'll
Speaker 1: burn clean burning fuel. It'll it'll, it'll be carbon and
Speaker 1: but it'll be private jet. We'll go to New York.
Speaker 1: We'll set them down at the Algonquin, which they love,
Speaker 1: if it's still standing. Is it's still standing? I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll pitch them the following idea. Do a Goddamn huge wedding,
Speaker 1: double wedding ory and Logan and Luke and Laurela. Are
Speaker 1: You with me? Do you want to do it? I mean,
Speaker 1: I've got okay, alright, Tara, Tara, book the private jet.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go Monday. Okay, I mean I would say
Speaker 1: anything that amy and Dan want to do, I would
Speaker 1: want to do. You know, that's how I would answer
Speaker 1: it again. I love the end of the way the
Speaker 1: story is, but amy and Dan are of the best
Speaker 1: writers period in television ever. You know so, and and
Speaker 1: and amy's broken so much ground in terms of the
Speaker 1: current show that she has, in terms of the awards
Speaker 1: she's won. So, Um, I want to see you on. Unbelievable. Yes, so,
Speaker 1: they they are. They are just some of the best
Speaker 1: writers ever. So of course to work with them again
Speaker 1: and I think, I think they're so good. It is
Speaker 1: because they listened to great ideas that you're really you're
Speaker 1: really selling this. I would I would actually Um, I
Speaker 1: would like to see some spinoffs of the show, like
Speaker 1: I would like to see a Michelle spinoff. I would
Speaker 1: like to see I would like to see a Steven
Speaker 1: Kuwan spinoff. Right, cousin Turner spin off. That little too obscure.
Speaker 1: Do you think Michelle owns his own hotel by now?
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's so intertwined with Lora Lyon. For me,
Speaker 1: I've always dealt with that character as if she was
Speaker 1: my big system, my little sister. Sorry, Um and I
Speaker 1: don't know that he would want it to do something
Speaker 1: without her in some ways. Maybe they could have a
Speaker 1: chain of hotels. Yes, maybe, although I don't see Michelle
Speaker 1: liking a chain the idea, but she probably wouldn't. He will,
Speaker 1: he would, he would do it, but he would be
Speaker 1: disgusted with painful that would be very painful. Well, I
Speaker 1: think our times about up. We have about a minute left.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you guys would like to tell
Speaker 1: these lovely group of people before we whisk you away
