Speaker 1: I Am All in again. I Am All in Town
Speaker 1: meeting with Suzanne French and Tara suit An iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of I'm All
Speaker 2: in Town Meeting exclusively from New Milford, Connecticut. Myself, Torren, Suzanne,
Speaker 2: I know, and we are. We just got back to
Speaker 2: our hotel after day two of a weekend in the life,
Speaker 2: and we started the day with snow.
Speaker 3: Yes. Can you believe that? More gilmore than Connecticut and snow?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. We got to sleep a little bit
Speaker 2: this morning, and I woke up around like right before seven.
Speaker 2: It's like naturally woke up and I looked at my phone,
Speaker 2: and on my phone, one of the features I have
Speaker 2: is the weather is like when you're like on your
Speaker 2: little locker, Ren, and it said snow, and I was like,
Speaker 2: there's no way, So I like quickly got up and
Speaker 2: I saw there was like a patch of snow like
Speaker 2: on the roof of the hotel and then a little
Speaker 2: bit on the grass. And then I ended up going
Speaker 2: back to bed for like another hour, and then I
Speaker 2: woke up and I just saw people posting who were
Speaker 2: here for the event, like full blanket of snow. We
Speaker 2: didn't have that where we were. And then in the
Speaker 2: car on our way to breakfast this morning, Susanne's like,
Speaker 2: I saw the same thing I saw grass in yeah,
Speaker 2: from your room, right.
Speaker 3: So my room faces a different direction than Tara's room,
Speaker 3: so my view is basically just grass and trees yea.
Speaker 3: And so when I woke up, I looked out the
Speaker 3: window and I had to kind of do a double
Speaker 3: take because it wasn't like a ton of snow.
Speaker 2: It just looked white and great was that there before?
Speaker 3: And so I actually had taken a picture of the
Speaker 3: view when we first checked in two nights ago, and
Speaker 3: so I had to go back and look at my
Speaker 3: yeah picture to be like, there already there.
Speaker 2: It sure is not. It's not Warner Brothers fake snow.
Speaker 2: I can tell you.
Speaker 3: That was actual, real life snow.
Speaker 2: Well. Also, being from California, we're not used to the cold,
Speaker 2: so it like it was between thirty five and like
Speaker 2: thirty nine degrees forty degrees all day today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was much colder today than.
Speaker 2: It was freezing. So I guess we'll just take you
Speaker 2: through the day. But so we woke up and we
Speaker 2: went to a diner which was in the New Milford
Speaker 2: area where the event was that they transformed into Luke's. Yes,
Speaker 2: and they called it theos Yes. What's the actual name
Speaker 2: of the I.
Speaker 3: Think Theo's is the actual name, but its OK.
Speaker 2: There we go, Oh god, I got it's called Theo's. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: which now I'm thinking, was that here when Amy and
Speaker 2: Dan came through Connecticut? Oh, I don't know, maybe it
Speaker 2: could be Theo's. It was Theo's Lukes.
Speaker 3: It was really cute. It had like a counter just like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a counter with like pastries like in
Speaker 2: the little like containers they had take facing the window outside,
Speaker 2: which was really cute. And the food was really good.
Speaker 2: It was I got a I got a breakfast omelet,
Speaker 2: and Suzanne got would you have eggs? Just scrambled eggs,
Speaker 2: eggs and bacon. We're actually recording this before we're gonna
Speaker 2: go have dinner because we're like, let's just knock this
Speaker 2: out and get it up. And that's all we've had today.
Speaker 2: Like it was like that was filling meal.
Speaker 3: We didn't even need lunch.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I got a hot chocolate at some point of the day.
Speaker 2: But again, it was so cold where we were kind
Speaker 2: of like, I'm really glad we did everything shopping wise
Speaker 2: and checking out the stores yesterday because today, like if like,
Speaker 2: there were times when a breeze would hit and I'm like,
Speaker 2: my body can't handle this cold weather. But we met.
Speaker 2: There was someone who came up to Suzanne in the diner.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was Kelly, So it was great to meet
Speaker 3: her today. We had it was it just was fun.
Speaker 3: We got approached a couple of times, yes, by fans
Speaker 3: a couple of times, So shout out to Kelly, and
Speaker 3: then I have the name saved in a different note.
Speaker 3: I was taking two notes so I wouldn't forget.
Speaker 2: Jerry so is from Orlando.
Speaker 3: Sherry and Jackie from Orlando.
Speaker 2: Sherry apparently had been asking people about us through the week,
Speaker 2: and I bet you people were like, who the heck
Speaker 2: are those two? Like I don't know, but Sherry found
Speaker 2: us during right after the panel that Scott and Ariel did.
Speaker 3: And Sherry even asked Scott where we were, Yes, during
Speaker 3: her photo.
Speaker 2: We were trying to meet up with Scott today, but
Speaker 2: first and foremost, the service here is not the best.
Speaker 2: So Scott tried calling Susann at one point and like
Speaker 2: Susanne couldn't hear anything while we were breakfast, and then
Speaker 2: between probably Scott not having service and us not having service,
Speaker 2: and also Scott is a very popular man at these
Speaker 2: at these events, like Scott had the longest line I've
Speaker 2: ever seen and it was never ending, like before and
Speaker 2: half of the panel, I'm like, these people camped out.
Speaker 2: So we didn't end up saying Hi to Scott. But
Speaker 2: it's okay. We talked to Scott all the time, so
Speaker 2: it's fine. But yeah, people who met Scott were waiting
Speaker 2: in that long line. I give you a lot of credit.
Speaker 2: I mean, we waited yesterday when we met Yanik and
Speaker 2: Chad too, in a long line. But Scott's a popular
Speaker 2: man and he's here. We're leaving tomorrow. There's one more day,
Speaker 2: so tomorrow, Scott's here, Yanik's here, and the one that
Speaker 2: we're missing is Matt Zukrie. I've you've never met Matt.
Speaker 3: I've never met Matt.
Speaker 2: So I met Matt. I was with Scott at a
Speaker 2: convention about two three years ago, and I told Suzanne
Speaker 2: the story in the car today. I'll just briefly say it,
Speaker 2: but basically I wanted to say hi to him, but
Speaker 2: I like didn't want to bother him because we were
Speaker 2: in the backstage area with all the celebrities, but we
Speaker 2: were in this hallway and there was no one but
Speaker 2: me Matt, and I was like, I gotta say something.
Speaker 2: And at the time, it was like peak Resident, like
Speaker 2: I was loving the Resident. I told him. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm such a big fan. I was like, I work
Speaker 2: with Scott, I'm such a big fan, but I'm also
Speaker 2: loving The Resident. And he was so kind and then
Speaker 2: some girl interrupted him and he then apologized to me
Speaker 2: because she stopped our conversation. He was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: she works as a PA on our set where we
Speaker 2: filmed The Resident in Atlanta. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's so nice. And then Scott that did the interview
Speaker 2: with Matt where Scott handed me the mic and I
Speaker 2: got to ask Matt a question which I have never
Speaker 2: gone back and listened to that I probably should. And
Speaker 2: then Scott took my picture of me and Matt. So
Speaker 2: that was a cool story to have. But you never know,
Speaker 2: We'll probably see Matt at another one of these things.
Speaker 3: Yes, hopefully that would be good. And then so we
Speaker 3: wandered around the town for a little bit. We wandered
Speaker 3: towards the other end of the square from where we
Speaker 3: were yesterday. So yes, at the far end was the
Speaker 3: pop up for the Dragonfly, which was the Homestead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like a bed and breakfast. Definitely looked
Speaker 2: like what the Dragonfly would be. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so they didn't they didn't have really like anything.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's a bed and breakfast, so
Speaker 3: it's not like you're gonna go.
Speaker 2: And it was tiny. So really what they did was
Speaker 2: they put a sign that said the Dragonfly that kind
Speaker 2: of gave dragonfly vibes.
Speaker 3: It did, Yeah, and it was historical and.
Speaker 2: There was a it was so cold. There was a
Speaker 2: fireplace there where I went and stood by the fireplace
Speaker 2: for like a minute because I was like, it's so cold.
Speaker 2: We kind of just looked around. There was there was
Speaker 2: a plaque that said the Stars Hollow Room. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: it seemed like you couldn't go in there, so we
Speaker 2: didn't even bother.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know because there were those three rooms,
Speaker 3: but they all had like key like card keys. Those
Speaker 3: were like.
Speaker 2: Rooms in I was thinking maybe it was an office,
Speaker 2: Oh maybe, but you know what it might be for
Speaker 2: guests and my patients patients. Yes, well, there was a
Speaker 2: hospital next door. Yeah, it might be for guests, but
Speaker 2: there was also a tiny staircase that went upstairs. I'm
Speaker 2: assuming there were like two more rooms, so I doubt
Speaker 2: more than like there could be more than five rooms.
Speaker 3: And yeah, there was that building in the front when
Speaker 3: that we walked past, and those doors were numbered five
Speaker 3: and six. Oh, the main building may only have like
Speaker 3: four if five and six are well.
Speaker 2: It seemed like it was a house. Yeah, and they
Speaker 2: turned it into a home seat in slash butever yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so we we walked there and then we walked back
Speaker 2: to the town. We saw this Abraham Lincoln monument and
Speaker 2: then there was a museum there. We didn't go in,
Speaker 2: but there was a museum. And then we walked back
Speaker 2: there was like this. There were two banks and it
Speaker 2: was like this old, very old timey bank and I
Speaker 2: was like, this is definitely like Connecticut. And then I
Speaker 2: was cold, so I went and got chocolate. Where we
Speaker 2: got our snacks yesterday. And by the way, I think
Speaker 2: I mentioned it yesterday's podcast, but did a lot of
Speaker 2: shopping yesterday and if you if it wasn't so crowded today,
Speaker 2: I probably could have done more. The bookstore we went
Speaker 2: into the bookstore had like a coffee shop next to it.
Speaker 2: But it's so funny because I don't think these stores
Speaker 2: are built for the crowd. No, Like, we were just
Speaker 2: packed in there like sardines. And we were talking to
Speaker 2: the women I met yesterday, Amanda and her daughter. They
Speaker 2: saw us in the bookshop and they stopped us and
Speaker 2: we were trying to have a conversation. Everyone's like, are
Speaker 2: you in line? And we're like, oh my god, we
Speaker 2: are so in the way. We were so in the way.
Speaker 2: But I am glad the book that I bought was
Speaker 2: completely sold out. Yeah, so I bought this. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: bought this book. It basically says all the from every
Speaker 2: episode of Gilmore Girl's Ever the pop culture references. So
Speaker 2: I was like, that's good to have because I mean
Speaker 2: we did pop culture Round one, but I feel like
Speaker 2: there's always things, There's always something, There's always something. And
Speaker 2: so from there we did stop in the library. We
Speaker 2: saw the Nitithon. It was packed, but I think also
Speaker 2: because it was cold. Yeah, people packed in there. And
Speaker 2: then Susann and I saw there was a puzzle, so
Speaker 2: we stopped them in a puzzle. It was very like
Speaker 2: in my head, I was like, is this a lot
Speaker 2: like a day of like Rory's life would be, like
Speaker 2: she just walked around the town, stopped in the library,
Speaker 2: stopping bookstore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that pretty much sounds like it. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: there's some there's an episode where she even says that
Speaker 3: she's gonna go take a walk and like go get
Speaker 3: a Danish or something. I can't remember what episode that was,
Speaker 3: but oh that was when she runs into Jess in
Speaker 3: the bookstore, like they keep running into each other in places.
Speaker 3: I can't remember which episode it was, but people will
Speaker 3: correct me, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: And we Yeah, we did meet this very nice lady
Speaker 2: in the library who said she's basically lived here her
Speaker 2: whole life. Well, no, she was from Long Island but
Speaker 2: then moved here like years ago.
Speaker 3: And her yeah, her family, like her ancestors are from
Speaker 3: the sixteen and seventeen hundred. Yes, it doesn't get much
Speaker 3: more New England.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, And there were it was very sweet. I
Speaker 2: saw a lot of people they were just like they
Speaker 2: were like what's going on. It was like the locals
Speaker 2: who gave to the library to like print things, and yeah.
Speaker 3: The guy printing his tax forms. Like just people living.
Speaker 2: Their lives, living their lives, and then we went to
Speaker 2: we stopped at One More Shot, the shop that I
Speaker 2: did some damage yesterday, which everything was cleared out, so saying,
Speaker 2: go you got what did you get? You got a magnet?
Speaker 3: I got some magnets. I bought three magnets. So one
Speaker 3: is like a drawing that is like Luke's Diner and
Speaker 3: it says a weekend in the life at the bottom.
Speaker 3: And then I got one just kind of generic that
Speaker 3: just shows New Milford, Connecticut because our our family always
Speaker 3: gets a magnet when we go somewhere. And then we
Speaker 3: have like a board in our kitchen that has all
Speaker 3: the magnets on it. And then one that I it
Speaker 3: just caught my eye because it's purple and I love purple.
Speaker 2: There you go, and then we went to our car
Speaker 2: and we were like, let's just drive too. There was
Speaker 2: this place called the Etiquette Sports Arena, which was about
Speaker 2: a ten minute drive from where we were in New Milford,
Speaker 2: where like all the meat and greets and stuff were
Speaker 2: yesterday and they were like parking slim, so we were like,
Speaker 2: let's get there super early. That's where those celebrity panels were,
Speaker 2: and that's where a lot of the well actually all
Speaker 2: the autographs were today, and so we get there, it's packed,
Speaker 2: it's freezing. It basically was literally what you think it's
Speaker 2: a sports arena. There was like where the panel was
Speaker 2: was a giant basketball court. Yeah. And then the other side,
Speaker 2: I don't even know what it was, but it was
Speaker 2: another like indoor like stuff, indoor soccer field.
Speaker 3: Maybe it had some kind of a terf.
Speaker 2: You didn't go to the bathroom, but they were like
Speaker 2: showers in the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Oh, like a locker room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like a locker room. And I was like,
Speaker 2: this is I feel like I'm in school. I mean honestly,
Speaker 2: as the as we were waiting for the panel to
Speaker 2: start it, I turned to say and I was like,
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm in a school auditory.
Speaker 3: Yeah. When I think sports arena, I think like Los
Speaker 3: Angeles sports arena, Like I think a large venue, and
Speaker 3: this was like more. It literally was like where you
Speaker 3: would go to watch like a high schooltball game or
Speaker 3: something like that. It was it. And I'm not like
Speaker 3: throwing shade or anything. It just was that's just what
Speaker 3: it was. It was just smaller than what I think.
Speaker 2: It's really interesting that, like, you know, both Susan and
Speaker 2: I are born and raised in southern California, and we've
Speaker 2: never really experienced towns like this, so it's it's really
Speaker 2: cool to see how people live over here. And I'm
Speaker 2: sure a lot of people listening do live in places
Speaker 2: like this where they're like, oh, it's just like the
Speaker 2: local sports arena, right, No, right, but yeah, So the panel,
Speaker 2: we didn't know what to expect, so it said celebrity panel,
Speaker 2: so we're like, this could be anyone. We're hoping Scott
Speaker 2: and it was Ariel who played Lindsay and Scott, and
Speaker 2: you know, most of these most of these events, there's
Speaker 2: a moderator who's asking the questions. I thought what was
Speaker 2: really interesting is they kind of like let him roll.
Speaker 3: It was really just the two of them.
Speaker 2: It was just the two of them, and Ariel was
Speaker 2: really great at hosting this one hour panel, and you know,
Speaker 2: I didn't. They talked a lot about Scott and obviously,
Speaker 2: like I mean, Scott's like, you know, Scott's Luke. It's Luke,
Speaker 2: you know. But I didn't know that Scott's first gig
Speaker 2: was a a sausage commercial at age five. Did not
Speaker 2: know that. I learned a fun fact about Scott He
Speaker 2: was in a sausage commercial at the age of five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and his dad discovered Terry Garr didn't know that either.
Speaker 2: Did you learn that today?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah. So the one thing that I loved that
Speaker 2: came up is I don't remember how it was prompted,
Speaker 2: but at one point Ariel yells tea and I'm like,
Speaker 2: she's team Jess. She's Dean's wife. But you know what
Speaker 2: I understand not being teens, but he did her dirty,
Speaker 2: so her dirty. Yeah, so no, wonder if she's switched gears.
Speaker 2: But what was really interesting is she said that she's
Speaker 2: actually going to be working with mile E Ventimilia and
Speaker 2: she's going he where did they say they were filming Tennessee, Tennessee,
Speaker 2: So he's apparently there right now, so.
Speaker 3: Upcoming, it says, I can only imagine.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is what they're doing together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty twenty six, it says, you know, I was
Speaker 3: oot to say that's so far away, but that's next year.
Speaker 2: I feel like we're in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: Still, Yeah, we're already a quarter of the way through.
Speaker 2: The summary for this is Bart Millard, a lead singer
Speaker 2: of Mercy Me faces a personal crisis at the peak
Speaker 2: of his success. As his world unravels. He struggles with
Speaker 2: his beliefs and in her demons while seeking a path
Speaker 2: through adversity. I have no idea what it's going to be,
Speaker 2: but the fact that Ariel and Milo are in it together,
Speaker 2: that's that's fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And they're like looking at the cast, they're at
Speaker 3: the top like it's Dennis Quaid, Ariel, Kebble, and Myle
Speaker 3: and Tamiliar like the top three in the cast.
Speaker 2: So but yeah, she basically is Team Jess. So that's
Speaker 2: but yeah, I think I don't know if that's been
Speaker 2: like I mean, it's on IMDb, so it's public, but
Speaker 2: I don't know if they've ever publicly talked about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I also forgot that she's from Vampire Diaries. Someone
Speaker 2: mentioned what fan base does she get more? I guess
Speaker 2: like as a bigger fan base is Gilmore or Vampire Diaries.
Speaker 2: And I watched Vampire Diaries in its original run. I
Speaker 2: may have watched it one more time after, but I
Speaker 2: completely forgot she was in it. So that's cool because
Speaker 2: that means she gets to do those conventions too, which
Speaker 2: I've heard that the Vampire Diaries. Conventions are fun. Oh really, Yeah,
Speaker 2: they do a lot of it. Between that and One
Speaker 2: Tree Hill, those are like the two I think they
Speaker 2: really started the convention train.
Speaker 1: One.
Speaker 3: One story she told at the panel that I thought
Speaker 3: was hilarious was she was talking about the wedding scene.
Speaker 3: If you guys remember the scene where Jared and Lindsay
Speaker 3: get Jared and Lindsey Dean and Lindsay get married. And
Speaker 3: we like, what we as the viewer saw was very brief.
Speaker 3: We really just saw them come out of the church.
Speaker 3: So I wonder if they maybe had shot more of
Speaker 3: a wedding scene that then got cut or something. But
Speaker 3: maybe she was saying that one of the things in
Speaker 3: the scene, if you look, there's a giant like magnum
Speaker 3: of champagne, which is like a giant bottle of champagne.
Speaker 3: And Lindsay was or Ariel sorry, was only eighteen at
Speaker 3: that time. She said she was seventeen when she started
Speaker 3: the show and eighteen when they filmed this particular scene.
Speaker 3: And so she and Jared got in cahoots with the
Speaker 3: prop department to get that bottle of champagne.
Speaker 2: Because they were gonna go home that night and drink it.
Speaker 2: Like right. Ariel and Jared became friends through this, and
Speaker 2: Jared was like, oh, you should come over. We can
Speaker 2: drink this champagne pain and play video game.
Speaker 3: Right exactly. So they get this bottle, this giant pain
Speaker 3: bottle back to Jared's apartment or house or whatever, thinking
Speaker 3: they're getting away with something, and the bottle was empty.
Speaker 2: It was literally a prop and there she was saying
Speaker 2: the prop department probably was like so like just laughing
Speaker 2: at them, thinking there he's gonna hand them. Yeah, prop
Speaker 2: master is going to hand them a just here's some alcohol,
Speaker 2: you underage kids, right. I wonder, you know, she didn't
Speaker 2: really I wonder if she still has it. She says
Speaker 2: she took it, but does she still have it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. That's a good question.
Speaker 2: But that was a fun That was a fun moment
Speaker 2: because like we I feel like every moment between Lindsay
Speaker 2: and Dean was so likeugh, you know, yeah, yeah, there
Speaker 2: was no fun moments.
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't like Lindsay, and I feel
Speaker 3: I don't feel like that's really deserved. Like I feel
Speaker 3: bad for Lindsay.
Speaker 2: You know, because I really like Ariel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just loved because I've seen her in this,
Speaker 3: and then she's in nine one one, so I've seen
Speaker 3: her in that.
Speaker 2: Wait a lone star, No, wait a minute, the one
Speaker 2: with Peter Krassa. Oh my gosh, I watched nine one one.
Speaker 3: You didn't notice that's her?
Speaker 2: Wait, but she's she's on the current season.
Speaker 3: Uh, well, I don't know the current I haven't watched
Speaker 3: the current season yet, but she's she came on like
Speaker 3: season two or three. I want to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember exactly, but how you say his
Speaker 2: last name Kraus?
Speaker 3: It's two syllables.
Speaker 2: Oh I thought it was Krause.
Speaker 3: It looks like that.
Speaker 2: Well, but she was only in ten episodes, Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: not crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I felt like she was in more than that.
Speaker 3: They I just happened to see all ten of them.
Speaker 2: Probably five.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, she's in five and then there's a
Speaker 3: lot of scene I guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But anyways, my point was I've only seen her in
Speaker 3: those two things and didn't really know anything about her personally,
Speaker 3: so it was it was really cool to get to
Speaker 3: see her in this informal, casual setting because she's like
Speaker 3: super so.
Speaker 2: Bubbly and fun, and it kind of made me feel
Speaker 2: bad because I am one of the people who it
Speaker 2: was not the biggest fan of Lindsay. Like I just
Speaker 2: it's all I dislikes her. I just didn't care for
Speaker 2: the character because it was like kind of she she
Speaker 2: was kind of bratty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not getting a job and all that. But at
Speaker 3: the same time, like I do feel bad for her
Speaker 3: character in the grand scheme of everything.
Speaker 2: Of course, yeah, like you, I mean she really it
Speaker 2: wasn't her fault. Yeah, Like she thought she was falling
Speaker 2: in love with Dean and got screwed and then she
Speaker 2: also got screwed in a vampire diary.
Speaker 3: So really she's But Ariel is nothing like Lindsay, like
Speaker 3: she knows. She seems like she's so.
Speaker 2: Nice and she doesn't do a lot of these, does she.
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've never I mean I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is obviously my first calm that I've
Speaker 2: been to like this, but the one I went to
Speaker 2: with Scott like she, that one was just uh Matt Zuchrie,
Speaker 2: John Cabrera Scott and then Seawn Gunn was supposed to
Speaker 2: come and then canceled. But and Yanique like Yenny Ghosts
Speaker 2: a lot of them, But yeah, I don't think it's
Speaker 2: common for her to come out so like. But she
Speaker 2: said that her and Scott did ax.
Speaker 3: Yes, she wasn't that there was like a whole group
Speaker 3: of them at eighteen.
Speaker 2: Is that's the one like right after the revival?
Speaker 3: Because no, that was the one that that was in
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. That was where they got the idea for
Speaker 3: the review.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's on YouTube. Did you know that? Yes,
Speaker 2: you can watch the photo if you're listening to this,
Speaker 2: you can watch that ATX with the Cass Gilmore girls.
Speaker 3: That's what Amy was talking about at Pailey Fest when
Speaker 3: she said they all went to a bar afterwards and
Speaker 3: we're all like, hey, let's do another one, and they
Speaker 3: all thought it sounded like a good idea. It was
Speaker 3: after ATX.
Speaker 2: Because I remember at ed Herman had passed, so he
Speaker 2: wasn't at that one and that was pretty fresh.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I think he died like fourteen or fifteen,
Speaker 3: like somewhere around that time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know, it makes me makes me kind
Speaker 2: of wonder like if Amy had done the revival like
Speaker 2: two three years earlier, Yeah, we would have had such
Speaker 2: a different storyline for Emily Oh yeah, because the whole
Speaker 2: revival is her basically being single now like she's widow,
Speaker 2: trying to deal with and trying to deal with it.
Speaker 2: So but you know, life takes turns and the storyline
Speaker 2: is what it is, and you know, I really liked
Speaker 2: Emily's storyline for that. That's when we met Sherry from Orlando,
Speaker 2: and Cheryl did we mentioned she was next to usertise.
Speaker 3: Her son is an airline pilot, so.
Speaker 2: She went to the Hallmark. She went to the Hallmark
Speaker 2: of convention Christmas. Yeah, that was in December, and I
Speaker 2: think that was like one of the first years they
Speaker 2: did that one. So and then we were walking out
Speaker 2: because we thought that was it, and then Todd Lowe
Speaker 2: and John Cabrera started like their own panel, so we
Speaker 2: sat for for most of it. I think we probably
Speaker 2: were were walking out half an hour we were walking out.
Speaker 2: I think as they were they were rapping, just because
Speaker 2: we got so tired. But uh, you know, I've I've
Speaker 2: seen John Cabrera at other stuff, I've never seen Todd
Speaker 2: low like in person. He is so his character like
Speaker 2: he is pretty spot on.
Speaker 3: He really does not have to reach far for Zach.
Speaker 2: Like even Okay, so there was a moment where my
Speaker 2: phone had no service and I was trying to like
Speaker 2: look at my phone to get service, and he's speaking
Speaker 2: and I'm like, is there an episode Gilmore Girls playing
Speaker 2: in the background. Because his voice is so distinct too
Speaker 2: that it sounds I'm like, oh my god, that's Zach. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I noticed that yesterday when I was waiting in line
Speaker 3: for Yannick because he was at the next table, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, I can hear his voice. I'm like, oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, it's.
Speaker 2: It's Zach because is like, you know, he has to
Speaker 2: put the accent on Scott sounds Scott is Luke. So
Speaker 2: but I feel like we talked to Scott all the time,
Speaker 2: so it's a little different. But his voice is just
Speaker 2: there's this tone to it. And then he did an
Speaker 2: impression of badues Bach and I was like, is Sebastian
Speaker 2: and the spot I was spot on?
Speaker 3: He was so good.
Speaker 2: It was spot on. Yeh, but but yeah, they were
Speaker 2: They were great too, and answered some fan questions.
Speaker 3: There was a very brief moment of uh singing a Pixies.
Speaker 2: Song in German. Oh, yes, I did film.
Speaker 3: That, Yes, that was I guess he did that at
Speaker 3: his audition audition like, I don't know why he picked
Speaker 3: the German song, but I think probably Amy and Dan
Speaker 3: were probably like, this is so weird.
Speaker 2: It's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And then one fun fact which I remembered
Speaker 3: because this is one of my favorite episodes is the
Speaker 3: applica episode Application Anxiety where Rory goes and has well
Speaker 3: Lorelai and Rory go and have lunch with that Harvard
Speaker 3: alumni family and they're all like super weird. John Cabrera
Speaker 3: actually had originally auditioned for the role of the sod
Speaker 3: in that family and he didn't get it, which is
Speaker 3: I just thought that was funny because that's one of
Speaker 3: my favorite episodes and I can't imagine it any other
Speaker 3: way than how it is.
Speaker 2: And he did say he was like sometimes like the
Speaker 2: smaller roles, like you know, you wouldn't you never know
Speaker 2: what's going to happen, right, They kind of I think
Speaker 2: Todd joked like, well, where's that kid now? You know? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: But isn't it crazy that if he were to have
Speaker 2: gotten that role, he would have never right, he wouldn't
Speaker 2: have gotten Bryan Bryan, And that was what did he say?
Speaker 2: Like thirty five he said like thirty five episodes. I
Speaker 2: think Zach did forty. Todd Load did forty? Is Zach
Speaker 2: is what I mean? Yeah, but yeah, it's like it's
Speaker 2: so interesting. You know. There was someone earlier in Scott
Speaker 2: and Ariel's panel who asked about, like, you know, auditions
Speaker 2: are virtually now, yes, And it made me kind of
Speaker 2: think because like I I didn't want to be an actress,
Speaker 2: but like I was definitely shy as a kid, and
Speaker 2: so I went to like an acting camp one summer,
Speaker 2: and then I got to go to some auditions and
Speaker 2: I remember being in those audition rooms. It was so intimidating,
Speaker 2: but it was so fun to see the people around you,
Speaker 2: like you kind of like chatted with ever. I went
Speaker 2: to like three or four and you chatted with people
Speaker 2: in those rooms. And it kind of makes me sad
Speaker 2: that like now it's just a tape.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I also wonder if casting directors back then, like they
Speaker 2: could see potential for another role just by like if
Speaker 2: you auditioned for like, let's say Brian and it didn't
Speaker 2: work out, then the casting director in their mind could
Speaker 2: be like, oh, well, I have this other show I'm casting.
Speaker 2: It could work for that and that's a lot of
Speaker 2: times what happened. But it's just I don't know, I
Speaker 2: wish we were still in those times where not everything
Speaker 2: was because they just talk about, you know, actors talk
Speaker 2: about these audition rooms and these audition processes and like
Speaker 2: it's kind of weird to think that the generation now
Speaker 2: that's young that's going through that will never experience an
Speaker 2: audition room.
Speaker 3: It's true. And Scott talked about auditioning for Seinfeld, yes,
Speaker 3: and how Jerry Seinfeld was in the room. He was
Speaker 3: like sitting behind a desk, but that there were like
Speaker 3: other know, other people and like that's like you say,
Speaker 3: like that's not even gonna be anybody's experience anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was someone we interviewed, well I did it.
Speaker 2: It was on another podcast I work on. But they
Speaker 2: were interviewing Sean Weiss, who played in like Heavyweights and
Speaker 2: Mighty Ducks and he was in he did a movie
Speaker 2: with Pee Herman and wait, Pee Herman, Yes, and he
Speaker 2: played WHOA remind me, what's the name of this character?
Speaker 2: Isn't it pee Wee?
Speaker 3: No, pee Wee Herman is the character Pee.
Speaker 2: Wee Herman's character? Sorry, what's the actor's name? Paul Paul Rubin. Sorry,
Speaker 2: I meant to say Paul Rubens was there and he
Speaker 2: was out of character and then he Sean as a
Speaker 2: kid was like, well, where's pee Wee? And then pee
Speaker 2: Wee went and changed like twenty minutes later, came back
Speaker 2: as pee like Paul went and came back and changes peewee.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, And so the kid could do the audition.
Speaker 2: Oh that's crazy. And it's just like stories like that
Speaker 2: where we're like, we're not going to get that anymore
Speaker 2: with this generation. But you know what, that's why I
Speaker 2: like hearing these stories. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because now you're
Speaker 2: not even you don't really meet people. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: an actress, I don't really know. But unless you're going
Speaker 2: in for a chemistry read, I don't think you're really
Speaker 2: meeting these people in audition rooms, right.
Speaker 3: Right, And you don't know, like as as the auditioner,
Speaker 3: you don't know who else is up for it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so like.
Speaker 2: You find out later on some podcasts.
Speaker 3: Right, and you know, because we're in the middle of
Speaker 3: reading Lauren's novel Yes for an upcoming podcast episode, So
Speaker 3: just a reminder if you want to read along. But
Speaker 3: she talks about that like being in the waiting room
Speaker 3: and you like, you know people in the waiting room
Speaker 3: and like kind of everybody knows each other through like
Speaker 3: acting class or you know whatever, so like that that
Speaker 3: doesn't happen anymore if you just if you're just uploading
Speaker 3: an audition, you don't know who.
Speaker 2: Else is even doing that and then going to lunch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, all in all, it was really this was a
Speaker 2: really cool experience and it was amazing so experience a
Speaker 2: town like New Milford and meet the people, and it
Speaker 2: made me think we take a lot for granted living
Speaker 2: in La you know, so I've literally been to a
Speaker 2: grocery store and ran into like a celebrity and that
Speaker 2: like doesn't happen here. And it was very cool to
Speaker 2: see these people come from all parts of the country.
Speaker 2: Who you know, I think I get working in entertainment,
Speaker 2: I get a little bit jaded by like who I meet.
Speaker 2: Like it's like, oh I saw blah blah last week
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh cool, We're I'm like, oh, bar
Speaker 2: you know wherever, And for these people, like this is
Speaker 2: the whole event. So if you're listening, I know that
Speaker 2: Decade Days is putting on this event again. In August. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so I would. I would check out follow decade
Speaker 2: days on Instagram, and then most of the information came
Speaker 2: from Facebook, which thanks to thanks to Suzanne, I found
Speaker 2: out because I don't really go on Facebook, but they
Speaker 2: like put all the schedules on there, and so if
Speaker 2: it's something you're interested in, specifically for New Milford, I
Speaker 2: would go look at that. But also there are a
Speaker 2: lot of other cons like Nineties Con I've been to
Speaker 2: and stuff like that for work. But these are really
Speaker 2: cool experiences to meet people.
Speaker 3: It was very immersive. It wasn't like going to Comic
Speaker 3: Con in San Diego where you're like in a giant convention. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: it was very you were literally felt like you were.
Speaker 2: In star Yes. And for this specific convention, I mean,
Speaker 2: the town is what made the event. So yeah, obviously
Speaker 2: the celebrities were a bonus, but you know, the celebrities
Speaker 2: spend so much time. Like I was watching Scott and
Speaker 2: I'm like he hasn't stopped and saying with Like yesterday
Speaker 2: when I was watching Chad, I'm like, he's running from
Speaker 2: one table to another, and like Scott, Scott ran from
Speaker 2: the meet and greet to the panel and then back
Speaker 2: to the meet and greet, right, and you know they
Speaker 2: really care of that. They wouldn't come if they don't care,
Speaker 2: right exactly. Yeah, but yeah, any final thoughts, Suzanne, No, it's.
Speaker 3: Been a great weekend and I'm really glad that we
Speaker 3: got the opportunity, yeah to do.
Speaker 2: This so fun. Well, we'll be back to talk about
Speaker 2: season two, Episode one, Season two premiere, Sadie Sadie, Yes,
