Speaker 1: in not the pilot but then episode one and um,
Speaker 1: and I was there for three years and then two
Speaker 1: episodes in season four. Um because they were generous enough
Speaker 1: to bring me back. I mean, we were too stupid
Speaker 1: to go to Yale, but for real, but it's good.
Speaker 1: You know, I live in Denver now and I teach
Speaker 1: acting to kids, and um, it's cool to just be

Speaker 1: guy who's like looking at my passport, looking up, looking
Speaker 1: down because I know you. I know you. Wait, my
Speaker 1: wife's watches you on that show You're that cook. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yes, oh yeah, okay, go ahead,
Speaker 1: go through, go through. I had this really cool experience
Speaker 1: in Denver Um. I was at this little pub and
Speaker 1: um playing games with my boyfriend and we were having
Speaker 1: some beers and we were ready to settle up, and
Speaker 1: they the bar bar mistress came over with my with
Speaker 1: my ticket and said, it's been taken care of. And
Speaker 1: I said, and somebody wrote on my receipt, thank you
Speaker 1: for your service. We love to you on Gilmer Girls
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, where are they? And she's like,
Speaker 1: they left. They just wanted to Well. It happened to
Speaker 1: me at jury duty and I really, I really wanted
Speaker 1: to get out of jury duty and I got you know,
Speaker 1: they questioned me and can you be fair and impartial?
Speaker 1: I went, I don't think I can, but I was
Speaker 1: just kidding around kind of as me partly like gypsy.
Speaker 1: And the judge actually went, we're going to dismiss miss
Speaker 1: Abdu and miss ab do please tell Laura like yilmore,
Speaker 1: we say hello. This older judge, he was like almost
Speaker 1: in his seventies, and he was like, I'm a big fan.
Speaker 1: So I'm I was driving recently across the country, well
Speaker 1: to get to Colorado. I flew in from Colorado yesterday.
Speaker 1: But we're taking a family face and we we like
Speaker 1: to we like to drive. So in Utah, I was
Speaker 1: going a tad too fast, um, and I got pulled
Speaker 1: over and I didn't you know, it's it's just this
Speaker 1: fear response took over, right because and I just was like, god' sorry.
Speaker 1: You know it's Utah and it's so easy to go
Speaker 1: a hundred miles an hour here, and I know I
Speaker 1: wasn't going that fast. But and he said like all right,
Speaker 1: And he didn't have a jacket on, which was like
Speaker 1: twenty degrees out and he had no jacket on and
Speaker 1: he had short sleeve. So that that's weird. That's weird.
Speaker 1: He could be an alien, he could be part alien.
Speaker 1: So um, after you know, he was nice and he
Speaker 1: knocked it down, and you know, it's probably five dollar
Speaker 1: traffic school for me. Um. And and so when he
Speaker 1: left and we started going, my wife looked at me
Speaker 1: and she goes, why didn't you tell him who you are?
Speaker 1: And I said, but you think that would have worked?
Speaker 1: She goes, it might have. You didn't even take a shot.
Speaker 1: And I'm not a guy afraid to take a shot.
Speaker 1: I take a shot, and I just so from now on,
Speaker 1: I just want everybody to know. I wanted to go
Speaker 1: on record that I'm gonna use this to get out
Speaker 1: of traffic tickets maybe in the future, but I never
Speaker 1: even tried. So I don't even have a story as
Speaker 1: good as these guys that I'm gonna shut up now. Um,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite memory of filming the show? Rose? I
Speaker 1: think in um, I don't remember the exact episode, but
Speaker 1: we were in the Miss Patties of course, where all
Speaker 1: the town meetings were. And you guys need to know
Speaker 1: that if it was supposed to be freezing cold in
Speaker 1: the show, it was unbelievably hot in real life, and
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be unbelievably hot, like Rory's graduation
Speaker 1: was like June, it was like three degrees here. I
Speaker 1: mean really, it was always the opposite. So I remember
Speaker 1: being Kenny Ortega directed one of the episodes and Sally,
Speaker 1: by the way, Sally Struthers says hello to all of you.
Speaker 1: She's in Kansas City doing come blow your horn. I
Speaker 1: can't get out. I can't get out to do the show.
Speaker 1: So she just went, I can do a fireman's carry.
Speaker 1: And she walked up to the director, Kenny Ortega, who
Speaker 1: some of you know did high school musical and she
Speaker 1: picked him up. She picked him up and put him
Speaker 1: around her like like a little fox stole like she
Speaker 1: and she spun around with this. He's a regular size man.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a man. He's not a right exactly.
Speaker 1: And she picked him up and spun him around, and
Speaker 1: I just remember thinking, if I could even be, you know,
Speaker 1: have one quarter of her, of her energy. Sally Struthers
Speaker 1: is the strongest human being on planet. Every and some
Speaker 1: of you might know this, but every every time my
Speaker 1: birthday would hit and we'd be in the diner. September eleven,
Speaker 1: my birthday, and she knew I didn't celebrate it for
Speaker 1: obvious reasons, and she would pick she would try to
Speaker 1: make me feel better. She would pick me up, she
Speaker 1: put she picked me up and I wait, I was
Speaker 1: going to fifteen at that time. Favorite memory and she
Speaker 1: picked me up and she my butt would be here
Speaker 1: in her face and she got it's his birthday, smack
Speaker 1: him in the take me around to everybody in the crew,
Speaker 1: in the cast, and they go, did Kenny direct more
Speaker 1: than one episode? Shock on his face when she spun
Speaker 1: him around, I was like, that was my favorite. He
Speaker 1: did twelve episodes and ten of them were during sweeps,
Speaker 1: So it's like, I think, uh, sweeps weeks were when
Speaker 1: the networks really did their ratings measurements and they would
Speaker 1: that would dictate how much they would charge you advertise it.
Speaker 1: So they brought in Kenny Ortega for these big episodes,
Speaker 1: I mean just wonderful episodes. And we're on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Weren't season four now, as you well know if you
Speaker 1: know the podcast, and we just did a big episode
Speaker 1: with you really you and Jess fixing Jesse's car as
Speaker 1: he returned. It's like episode twelve or thirty. I thank
Speaker 1: you for your business and what's the name of it now?
Speaker 1: Come out into yeah, yeah, see scrolls or something. Something
Speaker 1: some from some great title. I love saying to him,
Speaker 1: thank you for your business, do not come again? Great?
Speaker 1: It was that was your that was your biggest episode,
Speaker 1: and it was a tremendous episode for you. Yeah, listen
Speaker 1: to the podcast because we could. We really really kind
Speaker 1: of wax poetic over your performance. We really do. Huh.
Speaker 1: I will tune in now. Thank you. You know, guys
Speaker 1: are stupid. They stripped their gears, they ride their brakes. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'll make an exception. Arras. Tell us about how
Speaker 1: many episodes you did. Tell tell us about how many
Speaker 1: episodes you did uh in in Gilmore Girls. Um, I
Speaker 1: did twenty one in the original run and in three
Speaker 1: more in uh the Year in the Life, and I
Speaker 1: have a couple more in there, but they were they
Speaker 1: were cut. There's like two to two episodes. They were cut,
Speaker 1: you know, for time purposes, because you know, we we
Speaker 1: do a lot on the show. There's a scripts are huge.
Speaker 1: So yeah, twenty one and three. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: The thing that I'm marveled at the most was watching Caesar,
Speaker 1: because Caesar had to be in all of these long
Speaker 1: diner scenes and he had to deliver the line the
Speaker 1: one or the one the couple of words, or the
Speaker 1: one played at the perfect time. Watch those scenes again
Speaker 1: in the diner. That are long scenes and all this
Speaker 1: activity and I'm walking all over and saying things and
Speaker 1: delivering stuff, and he's handing this stuff off perfect timing
Speaker 1: every time. You know how hard that is to do.
Speaker 1: That takes like Tiger Woods type focus. So bravo to you.
Speaker 1: I mean you, this guy was the wind beneath my wings.
Speaker 1: Because if, seriously, because if, because if you have a
Speaker 1: guy there in that role who isn't who's messing up
Speaker 1: people's timing because they it's like because it's a hard job,
Speaker 1: and you understand if they can't do it, but if
Speaker 1: you have a guy constantly doing that, they're getting replaced.
Speaker 1: And this guy survived. And these were tough scenes to do.
Speaker 1: They were tough scenes. It was like doing a one
Speaker 1: act play. You know, it's like ten we were really
Speaker 1: working a busy restaurant. It was. It was actual busy restaurant, yes,
Speaker 1: I mean, and then we had Robert serving people too.
Speaker 1: At the same time. I'm joining them out the kitchen.
Speaker 1: You're passing. It's Robert Roberts coming here. It was and
Speaker 1: consulting with you and working with you. Where's this, Where's that?
Speaker 1: I mean, it was always a great experience because you
Speaker 1: you really just wanted to make sure that the scene popped,
Speaker 1: you know, because you you there are no such and
Speaker 1: it wasn't a small role. I don't consider any of
Speaker 1: these roles small roles. These are important roles. I mean
Speaker 1: every role. And this is why I wanted to have
Speaker 1: these guys on. I wanted to have these guys on
Speaker 1: because they don't get the recognition and they never got
Speaker 1: the recognition that's so richly deserved, because their performances are
Speaker 1: Amy worthy, are Golden Globe worthy, and we just didn't
Speaker 1: get that kind of uh respect. But there they are
Speaker 1: sitting there. Uh yeah, Shelley, tell us about, um, your
Speaker 1: favorite day on set. There's there's a couple. Um. One
Speaker 1: of them was when we were filming the Bengals episode.
Speaker 1: Um and and that day when the Bengals were there
Speaker 1: and just all of that was really fun. And then
Speaker 1: every single day on the spring Break episode was we
Speaker 1: stayed we actually, uh Louise and I Teal and I
Speaker 1: stayed at the c Sprite uh motel right there on
Speaker 1: the beach, and we had so much fun every and
Speaker 1: that that episode was a huge surprise because I never
Speaker 1: expected to be back at all in season four, and
Speaker 1: they brought us back for two and that was the
Speaker 1: last episode, and and I knew it would be like
Speaker 1: my last episode, and um, it was not bitter sweet.
Speaker 1: It was just sweet. It was so wonderful to be
Speaker 1: um there and we had so much fun. And um,
Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite like experiences that that's my
Speaker 1: favorite experience of the springbreak episode on this show. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about. One of my favorite subjects in
Speaker 1: the whole world is Milo Ventamelia. You got you got
Speaker 1: to do some pretty pretty intense scenes with Milo. Tell
Speaker 1: us what it was like working with him, and and
Speaker 1: you know who I'm talking about. The guy He never
Speaker 1: it never really caught on for him. I feel bad
Speaker 1: for him, and he's so good looking and he's so talented,
Speaker 1: but it just it just didn't happen for him anyway.
Speaker 1: He's a dark haired, uh good looking guy. He was
Speaker 1: on the show. He played Jess. Okay, so now we're
Speaker 1: caught up. I just remember he bugged Gypsy so much
Speaker 1: like Gypsy has no love for Jess, as you well know.
Speaker 1: So of course, because I'm such a method actor. I
Speaker 1: have no love for myla I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I
Speaker 1: actually I remember saying to him, you really have like
Speaker 1: a young James Dean quality, and he was like, God,
Speaker 1: everybody says it to me. I yelled at him. I
Speaker 1: yelled at him and said, you should be thankful, you
Speaker 1: should be thankful that that people compare you to James.
Speaker 1: He was terrific. I mean, he was so I felt
Speaker 1: like he was so in character all the time. You know,
Speaker 1: he really was fantastic. And I love the one where
Speaker 1: you you come to ask My favorite episode is you
Speaker 1: come to ask me about the car and that's where
Speaker 1: that guys are stupid line and I go, no, but
Speaker 1: he had a bag with him with a dollar sign
Speaker 1: on it or something like that, right, and that scene,
Speaker 1: I had to hit nineteen marks to come out on
Speaker 1: the underneath the car and take the wrench and go
Speaker 1: over to the thing. And you were so nice to me.
Speaker 1: But we really got it done fast. But that was
Speaker 1: one of those ones, like you said, with him, that
Speaker 1: could have gone horribly wrong where we really like this
Speaker 1: cast is so gifted, and really it's like colored tape
Speaker 1: on there's so much tape on the floor you have
Speaker 1: and everybody, every character is a different color. So you
Speaker 1: have to hit your mark because if you're like if
Speaker 1: you're standing with the wrench here when you should be here,
Speaker 1: the whole thing has to go do it. It It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter how good your performance is. It's like, uh, Scott,
Speaker 1: you missed your moment about four feet so we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to go again. Liza and Teel and I used
Speaker 1: to fight every morning over which color we were going
Speaker 1: to get. I'm like, I'm one purple today. Yeah, it's hard,
Speaker 1: but when you rewatch it, don't let that in in
Speaker 1: pin you. How do you say, interfere with your enjoyment
Speaker 1: of watching it? But just know that we're all trying
Speaker 1: to like hit every mark at every moment. Marris, I
Speaker 1: have a very serious question for you. I want you
Speaker 1: to focus. Stay with me now, Okay, this is important. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you remember what color your tape was? I'm color blank,
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't remember. Well, Like, color explains a lot.
Speaker 1: Uh how many times did I ask for catcher and
Speaker 1: he gave you mustard? What difference does it make? Right? Um?
Speaker 1: Favorite scene? If you can remember your favorite scene, Arras,
Speaker 1: it's it's a bond is the episode Bomb Bomb Boyage
Speaker 1: and we're all here and saying goodbye to Rory, And
Speaker 1: it was just special to me because it was like
Speaker 1: the whole town was here, and I love when there's
Speaker 1: a gathering of people, like I love superheroes, right, so
Speaker 1: like superhero movies, all the superheroes get together. That was
Speaker 1: a superhero moment. It was all the superheroes from Stars
Speaker 1: Hollow getting together and saying goodbye to one of their own.
Speaker 1: I love that, Shelley, What about you favorite moments, favorite
Speaker 1: moment in the entire series that you did. I can
Speaker 1: tell you my least favorite moment. Let's let's hear that
Speaker 1: one time they had they wanted us to make out
Speaker 1: with these guys against the locker. I don't know what
Speaker 1: episode it was, anyway, they lined up seven background players
Speaker 1: and I had to like make out with the sky.
Speaker 1: They're like, just pick one. I'm like, are you just
Speaker 1: pick one for me? That's so embarrassing. I know, that's
Speaker 1: that's like ouch, yeah, I know. I know. Anytime I
Speaker 1: could get through that thick like dialogue, tongue twisting paragraph
Speaker 1: in one or two takes, I'm like, oh, people don't
Speaker 1: know how many pages. The script was so many, more
Speaker 1: like a telephone. It's like eighty pages of all black
Speaker 1: ink dialogue, and usually an hour script is fifty sixty
Speaker 1: pages with a lot of descriptive passages for the action.
Speaker 1: It was like Luke's serving the girls walk in black
Speaker 1: ink talk. I want to say my least favorite ahead,
Speaker 1: God you got it. I just remember one episode the
Speaker 1: town smellted? Did the ill smell like eggs? And then
Speaker 1: again it smelled like pickles? Which came first? The eggs
Speaker 1: are the pickles, the eggs, the eggs whenever it smells
Speaker 1: so Gypsy had the idea, I guess to get our
Speaker 1: car fresheners, air fresheners and air freshener necklace made out
Speaker 1: of trees. So the prop department, which was magnificent, but
Speaker 1: came at me with actual palm, you know, pine tree
Speaker 1: air fresheners. Now, have you smelled one? You know how
Speaker 1: strong it is in your car? Now, string twelve of
Speaker 1: them on a necklace. And he's like, yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 1: wear this all day. I go, you're gonna wear this
Speaker 1: all guy? Like, are you kidding me? I mean, he
Speaker 1: was like, well, what's the problem. And he couldn't spend.
Speaker 1: He goes, well, yeah, I I couldn't keep it in
Speaker 1: my office. I had to leave the room and I go,
Speaker 1: how am I gonna wear it all day? Like, there's
Speaker 1: no way. So I made him go to the copy
Speaker 1: machine and make fake pine tree things for Gypsy because
Speaker 1: my eyes were watering. So that was just treat lot
Speaker 1: of having to wear the tree. It was I'm traumatized
Speaker 1: by those pine tree air fresheners, the props dudes, tree Chuck, Bob,
Speaker 1: I just remember those tree Chuck they really were. Uh arras,
Speaker 1: tell us about what you're working on now, Uh, what's
Speaker 1: coming up for you? Well, right now, I'm really happy
Speaker 1: to be working with um. I'm working with Stan zimmer In,
Speaker 1: who's a writer on the show, and he's directing the
Speaker 1: Diary of Ann Frank that we're doing over here at
Speaker 1: the Colony Theater in Burbank next next month. It's our
Speaker 1: fifth run of the show. We're doing three shows too,
Speaker 1: already sold out. One is left on Thursday the nineteen,
Speaker 1: And it's just it's an important story that needs to
Speaker 1: be told. And I you know, isn't it an all
Speaker 1: Latin cast? Yes, it's all Latin cast. Um, and I'm
Speaker 1: really excited to be doing it again. We've done it
Speaker 1: in Vancouver, We've done it several times here, so it's
Speaker 1: it's just I feel that that story needs to be told.
Speaker 1: They were very, very happy to be doing it again
Speaker 1: too for kids. Excellent's brilliant. We have microphones in the audience,
Speaker 1: and let's turn it over to some questions. Uh, if
Speaker 1: anybody has a question, my name is NICKI, And what
Speaker 1: is your favorite moment, Scott? My favorite, uh, my least
Speaker 1: favorite moment was any moment I had to spend in
Speaker 1: the town hall meetings because it was incredibly hot in there,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I run a little hot anyway,
Speaker 1: so especially in winters. Thank you very much for noticing
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Um. What I meant was I tend to sweat,
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't like to be in sort of
Speaker 1: saunas in sweaters and winter clothing and gloves and hats
Speaker 1: and things like that. Favorite moment probably you know. I
Speaker 1: had so many favorite moments with Laureli, and I had
Speaker 1: so many favorite moments with Jess. Um. I think with
Speaker 1: Jess it's the sledgehammer through wall. We'll we'll sing, we'll
Speaker 1: hold hands and sing songs and make your whatever I say,
Speaker 1: because it was action and I very rarely got to
Speaker 1: do anything like, you know, with very little dialogue and
Speaker 1: just sort of act. Um. And there's a Milo scene
Speaker 1: where I tell him to leave. I really love that scene.
Speaker 1: And the Lord There's so many Lauren Graham scenes that
Speaker 1: I did. Um. I will tell a story though about
Speaker 1: the remarkable talent of Lauren Graham. Um. We had a
Speaker 1: lot of visitors to the set. Okay. We would get
Speaker 1: people like uh, you know, Hollywood legends would bring their
Speaker 1: kids and they would be sitting in Video Village and
Speaker 1: you'd come off the set Lukes Diner, and they when
Speaker 1: they were shooting in Luke's, they would set up Video Village.
Speaker 1: All the executives and and Amy and Dan would sit
Speaker 1: and the directors and all that right in docs market. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you come through the door and there would be
Speaker 1: a legend and you'd be like, huh, you know, and
Speaker 1: then one day that legend was Brian de Palma. Okay.
Speaker 1: Brian's a Palm is a very famous and very gifted
Speaker 1: director going back to uh um, you know, in the seventies.
Speaker 1: And so he was sitting there because his daughter is
Speaker 1: a huge fan of the show, and his daughter was
Speaker 1: with him, and uh, he sat there and sat there
Speaker 1: and sat there, and we were all like, God, that's
Speaker 1: Brian de Palma. Is he gonna cast us in a movie?
Speaker 1: And she's here to see us and it's like no, no,
Speaker 1: he's just their first daughter. Um. And late at night,
Speaker 1: about two o'clock in the morning, he was still hanging
Speaker 1: in there with his daughter. I think his daughter's name
Speaker 1: was is Lola Um. And Lauren had a scene where
Speaker 1: she's coming into the diners just the two of his
Speaker 1: this two am. She's got a monologue like that, okay,
Speaker 1: And so she comes in and does the scene, nails it,
Speaker 1: and then when you move in for the coverage, you
Speaker 1: do the you do the wide shot first, and then
Speaker 1: you move in and do the coverage where it's like
Speaker 1: well and filmore was only like a cowboy, so it
Speaker 1: was from like here up, okay. Brian de Palma was
Speaker 1: sitting right next to the camera and Lauren had to
Speaker 1: come in do her whole bit to the camera with
Speaker 1: Brian de Palmer there, and she went did it twice,
Speaker 1: was done, and she just went to be Uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know how I got through that. So that's a
Speaker 1: testament to how great she was in that role and
Speaker 1: how great she is, because that's nerve wracking because that's
Speaker 1: your your entire career right there, potentially a film role
Speaker 1: in the in the future. So hats off. Favorite moment,
Speaker 1: probably the most nerve wracking moment, was probably the kiss,
Speaker 1: the season four kiss, because we we still wanted to
Speaker 1: get it right and we knew it was a weighty,
Speaker 1: weighty moment and in a in a big moment for
Speaker 1: the show, and we just you know, and we we
Speaker 1: knew the Kirk thing was coming right, nobody else knew it.
Speaker 1: We knew it was coming, so we had to really
Speaker 1: suppress our laughter. But that's that's my lows and hig. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, Luke. Where did you
Speaker 1: ever get emotional like wrapping a year in the life
Speaker 1: or wrapping Gilmore Girls, or were there moments during um
Speaker 1: during shooting where you were getting emotional? Well? Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Liz stuff as I'm watching
Speaker 1: it now makes me very emotional because I have a
Speaker 1: personal experience in that area and I now I remember
Speaker 1: doing it. It had the same effect on me and
Speaker 1: it was very difficult to get through it, um and
Speaker 1: all of the uh, all of the stuff with uh
Speaker 1: the moment. There's there's a couple of moments that I
Speaker 1: remember where I didn't really have to do any kind
Speaker 1: of sense memory work where I had to think of
Speaker 1: things to make me sad. It was just the circumstances
Speaker 1: were enough, you know, And and it's always there was.
Speaker 1: It was snowing, I'm with the reenactors, and I see
Speaker 1: Laureli walking with Max that night. I had to look
Speaker 1: over look at it, so that that was a big,
Speaker 1: big moment for me as I recall, hopefully for you
Speaker 1: guys to Yeah, another question. Hi, my name is Alyssa. UM.
Speaker 1: I was just wondering, like, what was your last day
Speaker 1: on set? Like, like, what were your emotions and everything
Speaker 1: last day? Uh? We well, we didn't know it was
Speaker 1: gonna be our last day, you mean, so for a
Speaker 1: year in the life, we we never know when it's
Speaker 1: gonna be over. It's like it's not ever over. I
Speaker 1: mean I was. I was in Toronto shooting a film
Speaker 1: when I found out the show was over. I thought
Speaker 1: we were coming back for a season eight because we
Speaker 1: we were. I was signed for it. I was already
Speaker 1: signed for it. Everythink. Most people were um uh and
Speaker 1: you're in the life. I don't. I don't really remember
Speaker 1: the end of it. Um. I do remember the premier
Speaker 1: in Westwood, which is a big event like this. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was so many people, um and it was so great.
Speaker 1: What about you, Rose? Do you remember the last day
Speaker 1: on remember filming the last day of the original series,
Speaker 1: not the Netflix series, And it was raining, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't raining. It was fake raining, and it was the
Speaker 1: most refreshing fake rain. So I just remember standing there
Speaker 1: and thinking, like, I really hope I see these people again.
Speaker 1: And then I remember being in New York. What what?
Speaker 1: How much time passed between the show and then reboot series?
Speaker 1: Nine nine years? So nine years later, I'm in a
Speaker 1: hotel in New York at Christmas time and I get
Speaker 1: a call guess what we're doing the Net? And that
Speaker 1: was really exciting because I went, I'm going to see
Speaker 1: my friends again, and that that was really really special.
Speaker 1: And you guys keeping it going is just I can't
Speaker 1: thank you enough, like, give yourselves another round of fun.
Speaker 1: It's incredible and and and the great thing about the
Speaker 1: Netflix thing is we knew we had a finite period
Speaker 1: of time three and a half months to shoot basically
Speaker 1: four movies. Hey, uh no sleep but good let's get
Speaker 1: it done. Um, And we had time to sort of
Speaker 1: say goodbye if indeed it was going to be the
Speaker 1: last thing. I know. Now Lauren is saying in the
Speaker 1: media now that she's gonna sit down with Amy, probably
Speaker 1: over the holidays, and they're going to discuss the possibility.
Speaker 1: And you know it's listen, guys, it's all about schedules
Speaker 1: and and and so many different schedules have to sort
Speaker 1: of align. The stars really have to align for something
Speaker 1: like that to happen. So I'm I'm not letting myself
Speaker 1: hope too much, but there's always hope, right and and
Speaker 1: it's and it's a testament to you guys, as as
Speaker 1: as uh Rose points out. So if it happens, it's
Speaker 1: because of y'all. Another question, I actually have two questions
Speaker 1: for you. The first one is who do you think
Speaker 1: developed most as a character in the show, And then
Speaker 1: the other one is who do you think the dad is.
Speaker 1: I think the person who most developed on the show
Speaker 1: was was Rory because she started at sixteen and she
Speaker 1: ended up and well, you know, nine years later, um,
Speaker 1: but really, you know, that's a show about you know, Rory, Uh,
Speaker 1: Rory maturing and Rory adapting and Rory going off to
Speaker 1: college and Rory at college. I mean, for me, that's
Speaker 1: what the show is about. As I'm watching it, and
Speaker 1: everybody else is supporting, and I think, I think what
Speaker 1: Lauren does is she's the best. She's the best comedian
Speaker 1: as a character in a show I've ever seen that's
Speaker 1: in a drama, that's in a dramedy, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And Rory is the best straight woman you
Speaker 1: could possibly have because you could see her skills because
Speaker 1: she wasn't an actor when she got the role. But
Speaker 1: amazingly enough, that's how naturally gifted she is. Uh and
Speaker 1: at eighteen years old at an n y U film school,
Speaker 1: never acted a day in her life, she gets this
Speaker 1: huge role, a massive role. She must have been overwhelmed,
Speaker 1: right with the amount of work she had to do.
Speaker 1: She pulled it off beautifully, and Lauren helped her a lot.
Speaker 1: Lauren really guided her and helped her a lot. So
Speaker 1: she kind of really raised Alexis as well on set
Speaker 1: as a professional. So it's it's quite charming to think
Speaker 1: of it in those terms and that's how I like
Speaker 1: to think of it. Um. There was another side to
Speaker 1: that question. I'm sorry, who do you think the dad is? Gosh,
Speaker 1: that's I don't I don't know Kirk Is it Kirk?
Speaker 1: It could it could be Iris, could be Iris. You
Speaker 1: never know? What do you think? I wonder what? What
Speaker 1: do you guys think? Good Jess? You want it to
Speaker 1: be Jess, but you think it's Jess Chess. I don't
Speaker 1: know who it is you want? Do you want to be?
Speaker 1: How many things? It's Dean? No? Many? How many things?
Speaker 1: How many things? Slogan? Alright there, okay, so there you go.
Speaker 1: How many think it's R two D two? How many? Okay? Alright,
Speaker 1: alright another question please? Um, well sorry for Scott. Uh.
Speaker 1: First the comment that Luke Danes you helped me to
Speaker 1: forge a stronger connection with my dad, um and to
Speaker 1: understand him better. So thank you. Uh. Secondly, I wish
Speaker 1: the spinoff that was planned and then canceled first hadn't
Speaker 1: been canceled, and secondly had been about you and Jess.
Speaker 1: Luke and Jess. But the question, um, there was a
Speaker 1: really strong family resemblance between Luke and Jess as far
Speaker 1: as body language speech, mannerisms, all these things. How much
Speaker 1: of that was scripted? And how much of that was
Speaker 1: the two of you working together? Very little of it
Speaker 1: is scripted. Um, they sort of suggest, there's a nice
Speaker 1: so are we supposed to dance down the dance show
Speaker 1: very Christmas? Very Christmas. I meant that. I didn't see
Speaker 1: that in the memo, but I guess, uh, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, we get together and rehearsal. I'm sorry, where
Speaker 1: is the person located that? And so we get together
Speaker 1: and rehearsal, and we spend a great deal of time
Speaker 1: in rehearsal sort of working it out. But then when
Speaker 1: they say action, you just sort of your body naturally
Speaker 1: takes over because you're you know, you're in the skin
Speaker 1: of the character. Um. So yeah, all the little subtleties
Speaker 1: and nuances, uh sort of you know, they're they're just
Speaker 1: going to come out because the writing is so good, right,
Speaker 1: it allows you the freedom to behave Okay, so so
Speaker 1: acting as all behavior. It's not really words, but the
Speaker 1: words are so good that they force you to behave
Speaker 1: in a certain way when you say them, if that
Speaker 1: makes any sense. So that's that's that, and and thank
Speaker 1: you so much for your your very kind words about
Speaker 1: reconnecting with your father. Um. You know, as time goes on,
Speaker 1: I'm beginning to realize a little bit what an influence
Speaker 1: this character has had on certain people. And they come
Speaker 1: up to me in airports, and they come up to
Speaker 1: me in restaurants and they and they say the nicest thing.
Speaker 1: So I really really appreciate that, and it's very nice,
Speaker 1: and I think for all of us to know we've
Speaker 1: been a part of something that's historic and that is
Speaker 1: actually helping to heal uh family wounds and family divisions
Speaker 1: in certain cases. So thank you for your question. Next question, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm really nervous. Um, thank you guys for everything.
Speaker 1: I grew up with Rory's special Um luke in a vineyard, Valentine,
Speaker 1: you brought up the idea of a looping. At the
Speaker 1: end of season six, you turned lower, laid down. I
Speaker 1: care to explain. I think I fell and hit my
Speaker 1: head that day, and I think that I just was
Speaker 1: out of my mind. Um, I haven't in season six,
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten there yet. I haven't seen the episodes.
Speaker 1: I'm a middle middle of season four. Um, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure that there's a logical reason there's a circumstantial reason
Speaker 1: why I turned her down. Uh uh, And I can
Speaker 1: almost remember saying those words. I don't remember the scene. Um.
Speaker 1: But the thing about Amy and Dan's writing is, uh,
Speaker 1: they go big when things are small. They go small
Speaker 1: when things you think are going to be big. And
Speaker 1: it seems like the opposite happens when you think it's
Speaker 1: the other thing should happen. And that's kind of the
Speaker 1: beauty of it. It kind of shocks people, and it
Speaker 1: kind of keeps like huh, but it's all there's there's
Speaker 1: there's a real emotional logic to everything. Um. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna defend myself and says there's a really good reason.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, Thanks very much. Another question,
Speaker 1: two things, So how many times did you push Jess
Speaker 1: into the lake? And then what's your favorite Kirker Taylor moment?
Speaker 1: I pushed Jess once. Um, we did actually thirty three
Speaker 1: takes on the Walk and Talk before that, Okay, So
Speaker 1: I really was very frustrated with that. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: and I told him, I said, we're gonna get this
Speaker 1: right in one because I want to go to lunch.
Speaker 1: And that was all about hunger. Um, and I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. What was the second question? What's your favorite
Speaker 1: tailor or Kirk moment? Oh, there's so many. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just a pot of gold. That's like working with
Speaker 1: Seawan Gunn and Michael Winter's that's just so many g
Speaker 1: eight moments you're gonna have with those guys. Um. The
Speaker 1: hot dog suit was classic because it's just it's just
Speaker 1: him inside, you know, and you know, anybody inside a
Speaker 1: hot dog suit is gonna elicit a response. But but
Speaker 1: Sean Gunn inside of a hot dog suit. And I
Speaker 1: think one of the great physical comic actors of our
Speaker 1: time and should get more credit than he does, um,
Speaker 1: and more recognition, and maybe that will come to him
Speaker 1: one day. It looks like it probably will. He's having
Speaker 1: a nice career, isn't it. Um Uh. And Michael Winter
Speaker 1: is just you know, every sort of confrontation we had
Speaker 1: because he's such a seasoned actor. You know, he's so tempered,
Speaker 1: and he's so contained, and he's and and and very
Speaker 1: intense and smooth. I mean, it's just and he's just
Speaker 1: a very pleasant guy, uh to work with. So it's
Speaker 1: just it's hard to pick one. Maybe the candy store
Speaker 1: thing and where he's you know, I'm I'm doing that
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So just so many great moments with
Speaker 1: the those guys. Yeah, okay, this one is for Scott Um.
Speaker 1: You just you're such a good actor. So the look
Speaker 1: on your face, I feel like, is what really shows
Speaker 1: how Luke is feeling. But to get into character, what
Speaker 1: did you have to think of to portray so much
Speaker 1: emotion and love for Loreley, especially in moments where like
Speaker 1: when she told you that she slept with Christopher and
Speaker 1: you just look absolutely devastated because I really love her.
Speaker 1: You know, I really love Lauren, you know, Um, and
Speaker 1: I respect her and I and I love the amount
Speaker 1: of work that she's able to do and the support
Speaker 1: she gives everybody. And you know, she was the heart
Speaker 1: and soul of the show. Um, and you know, we
Speaker 1: sat back and watched her just power her way through
Speaker 1: every single day and it wasn't easy, man. I mean
Speaker 1: the workload on her was just herculean. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a superhero kind of stuff. I have a favorite Lauren moment. Um.
Speaker 1: We were filming the Bengals episode and um, we were
Speaker 1: those two guys who played kind of like just like
Speaker 1: guys that that Madeline and we's kind of run off
Speaker 1: with and they're in their apartment, and so those actors
Speaker 1: were there and Melissa and we were all there and
Speaker 1: it was so late and one of the guy's phones
Speaker 1: went off, one of the guys that we met at
Speaker 1: the Bengals concert, and then what his phone went off
Speaker 1: in his pocket and just started ringing right in the
Speaker 1: middle of a take, and he was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm just co starring for He felt horrible, and the
Speaker 1: whole crew was like, oh, so tired, Laura, and like
Speaker 1: approach she just goes happens to the best of us. Yes,
Speaker 1: she had that ability to put everybody at ease, no
Speaker 1: matter who you were on the set, no matter what
Speaker 1: number on the call sheet you were. She she really
Speaker 1: was a great number one on a show. We were
Speaker 1: very lucky that she was in that role. Um and man,
Speaker 1: what what a what a tennis partner to have. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're you're over the other side of the net is like, Wow,
Speaker 1: She's hitting all these great shots cheese and you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean, it wasn't she wonderful?
Speaker 1: Just just absolutely breathtakingly wonderful every single day. Next question oh, Hi.
Speaker 1: First down, I'd like to say, Scott, I've spoken with
Speaker 1: you before, and you're actually the nicest person I've ever
Speaker 1: talked to. Um. My question is for any of you.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering what actors on the show you think
Speaker 1: are most like their character? Good question, Liza, Yes, I kidding,
Speaker 1: that's fine. She's a lot like that. That's a version
Speaker 1: of her that truly exists. Well, Liz list, she's miss Patty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think Sally is. But she's an exaggerated
Speaker 1: that's an exaggerated but that's her. But it's so exaggerating
Speaker 1: she but she does have all that joy and light
Speaker 1: and life. And I mean, Mila, do you think he
Speaker 1: has that kind of darkness? Milo? He's a little dark,
Speaker 1: right Milo is Jess? I think I think he's very
Speaker 1: similar to Jess. Yeah, I I you know what, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I agree with you because because there
Speaker 1: is a darkness there, there's a little bit of a
Speaker 1: something real interesting there. Right. Alexis is not there not
Speaker 1: a lot like her character. I don't think she's really
Speaker 1: lively and fun. She likes like underground music and one
Speaker 1: time she asked me to go to drive. What is
Speaker 1: that van drive dashboard whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: it's like two hours away. I guess if it's bigs
Speaker 1: to you, man, they you should go what do? What
Speaker 1: do you think? Arish who is most like? I'm around
Speaker 1: her and it's like a story, a story. She's you know,
Speaker 1: so lively and she makes you happy. Yeah, this is amazing,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think. I don't think. Uh, Kelly
Speaker 1: Bishop was nothing like her character, right, she was very
Speaker 1: far away from that, right. She was just so she
Speaker 1: was kind of gentle and she is and she's loose
Speaker 1: and fun funny. Yeah, that was what my favorite. I
Speaker 1: have to say. I don't think I mentioned my favorite episode.
Speaker 1: My least favorite was, for sure those stupid air freshener trees,
Speaker 1: but my favorite probably was finally getting to come inside
Speaker 1: James Pettitt, the man who put this together Warner Brothers.
Speaker 1: I've known this guy twenty two years. He's been a
Speaker 1: superstar at Warner Brothers and in my career. This guy's
Speaker 1: helped me so much. Thank you, James. This is this
Speaker 1: is like the guy here, Okay, the guy that's the guy.
Speaker 1: Apparently I'm getting a s unburned. But you've known each
Speaker 1: other twenty two years. But you're still only in your thirties,
Speaker 1: So how's it? You know, when you were a kids.
Speaker 1: But I love getting to do the Bachelor bachelorette party.
Speaker 1: Emily's bachelorette party. That was one of my favorite because
Speaker 1: I got to hang out with Kelly and then it
Speaker 1: seemed familiar to me to get to work for her
Speaker 1: in the Netflix show when I was Berta. It was
Speaker 1: so much fun. And I said, maybe, like Emily fired
Speaker 1: every made, but Berta seemed sort of familiar to her
Speaker 1: because she already met one of Berta's cousins, which was
Speaker 1: maybe Gypsies. And I think, I think Melissa is a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean Melyssa was. Melissa was so funny and so
Speaker 1: personable all of the time. Um. Every time I would
Speaker 1: see her on set and we had only one episode together,
Speaker 1: she I would see your crop service or something or
Speaker 1: table read. She always had such an interest like what
Speaker 1: are you cooking these days? And how are you all
Speaker 1: that stuff? Amazing personality and amazing talent. Um, god who else?
Speaker 1: And Lauren I think you know, Lauren is just a
Speaker 1: really smart, funny, witty, engaging personality, you know. Um, And
Speaker 1: so I think she just kind of she didn't breathe
Speaker 1: through the role, and she has this capacity to memorize dialogue.
Speaker 1: We're we're all sweating in our trailers, going We're gonna
Speaker 1: doing it over and over again. She's like kind of like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's the script. What do I need to memorize? Just
Speaker 1: throw the script past my eyes. Okay, got it, let's go.
Speaker 1: Kind of weird. Next question, Hi, guys, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for coming to this event. This is so cool.
Speaker 1: Thank you. My mom and I love the show. Um.
Speaker 1: My question is for Scott. What was it like meeting
Speaker 1: the cast for the very first time. I flew to
Speaker 1: Toronto to do a guest spot in the Pilot and Uh,
Speaker 1: I was in a track suit for the flight, A
Speaker 1: nice track suit. Um and um. The airline lost my
Speaker 1: luggage and the the person at the front USK said, there,
Speaker 1: some of the cast is waiting for you across the
Speaker 1: street in a five star French restaurant and I'm in
Speaker 1: a track suit. I said, I don't think I can
Speaker 1: go to that restaurant. You no, No, it's okay. They'll
Speaker 1: let you in. Um. And they let me in. They
Speaker 1: were great. And so I met Lauren first and she
Speaker 1: was delightful, and we had a um a sit down
Speaker 1: and a drink and and and Keiko was there too,
Speaker 1: so I got to meet Lauren and Keiko. First. We
Speaker 1: all smoked cigarettes at that time. Uh and uh, here's
Speaker 1: here's the story with that. Our first day on set.
Speaker 1: Here day day one. Okay, we're going through half the day.
Speaker 1: We're smoking cigarettes. And I said, I gotta quit. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be able to do this dialogue. And
Speaker 1: I said to Lauren, I said, we gotta quit because
Speaker 1: there's no way we have the breath to do this.
Speaker 1: So we quit, and then Keiko quit. We all quit.
Speaker 1: The gift that keeps on giving this show is amazing,
Speaker 1: you know. Next question, Hi, I love you. I'm seventeen
Speaker 1: and I've seen Gilmore Girls over thirty times, so I
Speaker 1: love you all. I wanted to ask if you have
Speaker 1: any theater experience and what advice you have for aspiring actors.
Speaker 1: I want to go into theater, and all of you
Speaker 1: are my idols, so I wanted to see what you think.
Speaker 1: Thank you very lovely, thank you so much. My advice
Speaker 1: to you would be to study Shakespeare if you want
Speaker 1: to be a serious theater actor. You're seventeen. Dive into
Speaker 1: Juliet Romeo and Juliet nail it. Um. Everything's easy after that.
Speaker 1: Pretty much, Shakespeare is going to be your best teacher
Speaker 1: that you ever have. You just memorize the dialogue. There's
Speaker 1: a real emotional logic to it. It's easier to memorize
Speaker 1: than you realize as you're memorizing it. It's chunk after
Speaker 1: chunk after chunk after chunk. But it you remember it,
Speaker 1: it gets inside of you. Um ibsen uh Sam Shepard.
Speaker 1: All the great players do O'Neill do a theater of
Speaker 1: the absurd, you know, all the different styles of acting.
Speaker 1: Get an m f A in acting, be an acting
Speaker 1: nerd Um. Don't do it because you want to be
Speaker 1: famous or rich. Do it because you love to to
Speaker 1: do research and you love to read history, and you
Speaker 1: want to you want to put on the skin of
Speaker 1: that character. That's the thing that people cast. They don't
Speaker 1: cast people because they want to be famous. They cast
Speaker 1: people because they're great at what they do. So it's
Speaker 1: a skill set. Acquire a set of skills. You can
Speaker 1: get the best skills from the best writers. Okay, so
Speaker 1: do that. The first play I ever did was Buried Child,
Speaker 1: Sam Shepherd, Yeah, twenty years old. Sam Shepherd's my favorite
Speaker 1: play right right, He's genius, absolute genius. Um. Next question,
Speaker 1: I thank you all so much for being here. I
Speaker 1: love the all more girls. But it's just like crazy. Um.
Speaker 1: I was wondering, Scott, I already know your answer to this.
Speaker 1: But what team are you guys on? Team just Team Logan,
Speaker 1: Team Dean. And I'm gonna add Tristan because I was
Speaker 1: really sad when he left the show. Uh. I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I sticking with family A team Jess always end forever.
Speaker 1: I'm actually on team Jared Paddicky because I don't know indeed, well,
Speaker 1: just because he is such a like he did Supernatural
Speaker 1: and he struggles with depression really badly, and he's talked
Speaker 1: so openly about it and somebody who teaches kids, I
Speaker 1: think it's so important to normalize that stuff. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm very brave, very brave, and I'm on team Jared.
Speaker 1: You know. I I just reconnected what I do conventions
Speaker 1: that I meet fans, and I just reconnected with him
Speaker 1: at a convention. He's such a beautiful guy and and
Speaker 1: and and and it's so so vulnerable and so loving
Speaker 1: and he really is a very very sweet guy, and
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, and marveling at his skill as
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old. High. There's the entertainment tonight, and
Speaker 1: there's that's the Wall Street Journal up there right now, Sorry,
Speaker 1: New York Times, Wall Street General High guys, Um, who
Speaker 1: do you think Team Jazz? Team Jazz. I did my
Speaker 1: first scene as Caesar with him, so I gotta stay
Speaker 1: loyal team Dean for sure. You know I'm good with all.
Speaker 1: I'm family. Sure. Yeah, thanks for your question. Next question,
Speaker 1: there's a little boy over here who's had a question
Speaker 1: for a long time. Here. Can we get him a microphone? Yeah?
Speaker 1: My question is, if you had one chance, what thing
Speaker 1: would you change it bout your character? Good question, Um question,
Speaker 1: I think more comfortable shoes. Being serious about that, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't wear boots every day where the really comfortable sneakers.
Speaker 1: As silly as that is. Um No, but seriously, UM,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would get to Laurelize sooner, um,
Speaker 1: because I think the way they did it was brilliant. Uh.
Speaker 1: You gotta milk that cow as long as you can
Speaker 1: because if you know, and I'm not saying this to
Speaker 1: insult anybody, but if you give the fans what they want,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go away, right um Um, but not ultimately.
Speaker 1: I don't mean it ultimately. I mean to to ramp
Speaker 1: things up. Uh. It's an interesting question. I've never heard
Speaker 1: a question that insightful before. So good for you. I
Speaker 1: just think he was so here's the thing that and
Speaker 1: I just saw this. I think less revealing and I
Speaker 1: think the the he You're gonna disagree with me, but
Speaker 1: the vulnerability he showed with his sister Liz, I would
Speaker 1: have shown less, and I think it would have been
Speaker 1: right for the character. I think at that point there's
Speaker 1: you pretty much can't go wrong with the character. Um.
Speaker 1: But I didn't want to show that much. But thank
Speaker 1: you for your question. Okay, let's we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: do one more question. Okay, hi Um, I love you
Speaker 1: all very much, Thank you for coming. Um. My question
Speaker 1: is for everybody, which, besides Luke is your favorite boyfriend
Speaker 1: for Lorlie, besides Luis, besides Luke all right, besides Luke,
Speaker 1: Max for sure, Max, Max for sure? For me, this
Speaker 1: is a big question for Er. She's been thinking about
Speaker 1: this a lot. How man, I'm gonna go with Max. Also,
Speaker 1: Max's Yeah, Max for sure, bad, right, Max Max, that's
Speaker 1: three Max three three, that's three. Um. I like I
Speaker 1: like Digger because he's he's kind of wacky and and
Speaker 1: they're right together. But they're they're really wrong for each
Speaker 1: other because they're too similar. They're just too similar. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Max, Yeah, that's four maxes Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, guys, let's do one more question. They're they're
Speaker 1: walking around with microphones. Yeah, because she's responsible and he Now, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm over here. Hi, my name's Himena. UM. I just
Speaker 1: want to say thanks. That super cool to see you, guys.
Speaker 1: I grew up watching this show since I was a child.
Speaker 1: Shout out send your reader Rodriguez. Okay, thank you. Um
Speaker 1: So my question is for all of you, um, if
Speaker 1: you could have been cast for any other role on
Speaker 1: the show, what what role would it have been? I
Speaker 1: love that question because I originally auditioned to play Suki
Speaker 1: years ago, and they switched casting directors. But in the beginning,
Speaker 1: and I sculpt miniature food out of clay, and I
Speaker 1: told them I don't cook, but I do know how
Speaker 1: to make miniature food, and then the casting directors got
Speaker 1: so into my sculptures that was all they wanted to
Speaker 1: talk about, so I didn't. I didn't see and no
Speaker 1: one could have and Suki better than Melissa. So I'm
Speaker 1: glad it worked out the way it did, But it
Speaker 1: was a couple of years later because I'm not in
Speaker 1: the first season, so I feel like if I was
Speaker 1: going to do anybody else, I would want to be
Speaker 1: Emily or Gypsy. That's the weird thing about that Suki
Speaker 1: role because it was originally Alex Borstein who's on My
Speaker 1: Zell now and Drell of The Hard Player, and you
Speaker 1: just at the time when we heard Fox wouldn't let
Speaker 1: her out of her contract for a living color so
Speaker 1: she can't do the role she did in the pilot,
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, how are they going to replace her?
Speaker 1: And oh, that's gonna hurt the show, and boys she
Speaker 1: and then Melissa shows up and it's like, whoa, oh, Kirk,
Speaker 1: that's a that's such a fun role. I would I
Speaker 1: would love to be Kirk, except on the day where
Speaker 1: you have to wear the hot Dogs suit in a
Speaker 1: hundred ten degrees and barbank in September. Yeah, besides Madeline
Speaker 1: because I loved playing her. Um, I think Suki or Milo,
Speaker 1: you know, character you know, I'm I'm gonna say logan, uh,
Speaker 1: because it's just it seemed like such a fun role
Speaker 1: to play, you know, because you know, I just I
Speaker 1: just want to be in that kind of shape where
Speaker 1: I'm sitting back in a bed, you know, with them
Speaker 1: up to here anything all right when you come on
Speaker 1: over here, just like this guy. And and you know,
Speaker 1: Matt is the coolest, greatest, most soulful giving guy. Um,
Speaker 1: he's the genuine article. And I'm so happy for all
Speaker 1: his his success. And we we talked to him on
Speaker 1: the podcast a little bit. This guy. You wouldn't believe
Speaker 1: the reactions this guy gets. Man, I mean, it's unbelievable.
