<v Speaker 1>Where do you keep it?

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 5>Where do you keep it?

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I keep them on a shelf. They've definitely had some

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>movement in the house. At times, I put them away

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 2>because I thought it was like too much having them

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>looking at them, and then that felt like, oh no,

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I need to have them out. I'm proud. So they're

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>on a shelf some we're not not accessible at the moment, unfortunately.

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>But unfortunately, but what a thrill. All right, so let's

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>get started. Thanks for joining us, really appreciate it. How

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>did you get the role of Serena?

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I did the old fashioned way of auditioning. It was

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>actually very quick. They they sent me the audition on

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>like a Thursday night for the next Friday. It would

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>be for Friday night, so I had to like read

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>it see if I could do it. I think I

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>was filming another show at the time too, so it

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>was a little bit of a question mark whether or

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>not I could make the audition, and auditioned on a

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Friday night. Found out I got the part that night,

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>which I love. I mean, I'm sure you know, as

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>an actor, to just get the immediate response of a

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 2>yes or a no waiting is very satisfying.

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I got that and then we filmed on

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 2>it the following Tuesday. That was it.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, isn't it amazing? It's a common It's a

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>common story amongst Gilmour actors that they knew right away.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I knew the same day.

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh you knew like in your heart or they told

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>you no, no, no, no.

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I I by the time my manager called me and said,

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I left your message on your machine. You got the offer.

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I said, wait a minute, I just like left, I

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>just left the wow.

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>So and that that's with other people too, so like

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>it's like when they know they know love that.

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>I wish every audition was like that. Just no, you're

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 2>not wondering, yeah, you know, it's very.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Usually usually I do know and it's a no and

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>they're like, yeah, well you know, or you can tell

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 1>they don't even need to say anything that just sort

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>of look at you and you're like.

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Well that I can close the book on that.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, right, right, all right. So you sit there

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>in this scene just taking it all in with Emily

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>going off about you and just ripping your life apart,

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.679
<v Speaker 1>and what was that?

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Like? Oh? So fun? I love it. I knew, you

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>know that this was a big moment because she got

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to say bullshit a bunch of times, which was out

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>of a character. So I sort of, uh was able

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy the importance of this scene for her character

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>and what it meant as a turning point for her

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 2>in many ways. And it's fun. I mean, the show

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>is so much about pacing and timing and comedy and

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>heart altogether. That there's a vitality that makes it really

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>really enjoyable. So yeah, to have someone just rip me

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>a new one, and she had quite a mouthful of

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 2>like it was. That speech took a long time, and

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>it was incredible that she was able to just continuously

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>do it for many, many, many takes. That scene we

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 2>had to film. Almost the whole day was just for

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>that one scene. So she really was incredible and it

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>was fun.

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I know Suzanne had a question about this particular scene.

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 1>She texted me earlier. Go ahead, Susanne.

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to remember. I've sent so many texts this morning.

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 5>So I'm Suzanne. Good morning, I'm the super fan designated

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 5>on the So I well, I two questions, actually, one

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 5>was you just answered. I was going to ask how

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 5>many takes that whole scene took. My other question was,

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 5>you know this was a year in the life, so

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 5>this was twenty sixteen. Were you a fan of the

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 5>original show when it originally aired.

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't watch the I did watch some of the show,

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 2>but I didn't I would not be able to quote

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>like every season of the show. It started right when

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I was starting into college, So I didn't sit around

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 2>watching a whole bunch of TV when I was in college.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe there were other college students that that thought I was.

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say. I was also studying. I was very social,

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>and I think that was my priority. So I was

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>a fan enough to know, like I knew the characters,

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I knew the love interests, but I did not follow

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 2>the trajectory of the show. When I got the audition,

0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I was very excited because the fact that it was

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 2>a revival, I knew it was a huge deal, and

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:10.720
<v Speaker 2>to have a tiny toe in the bigger story of

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 2>this huge show was like it was a big deal,

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, to get the part, like, no matter how small,

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>it was awesome.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 3>No, did anyone tell you like about Emily as the

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 3>character before jumping into this? I know you said you

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 3>knew it was so important, but like, did you kind

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 3>of get like the gist of the build up of why.

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 4>This was such a big moment in this episode.

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean everything was very secretive at the time,

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, with I mean to even get a script,

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 2>I think I got it the day before and it

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 2>was like it's watermarked with your name. Nobody, you know,

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 2>you can't pass this around. So I didn't have any

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>context for the scene. Okay, I knew, you know, the scene,

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>but what what was happening. Obviously, the language was a

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a clue that like, okay, this is

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 2>this is a deviation, so something has changed. And then

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 2>obviously she gets kicked out Slash decides she's over the dar.

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I knew, okay, this is a is an important piece

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>of her story, and where my character comes in is

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 2>such a direct opposition to her personality. And you know,

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 2>her son is setting on the dar and mine is

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>hopefully rising, and I'm going to come in and be

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>a part of this little you know, uptight fancy network.

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>And it just was a nice I knew that that

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 2>was the importance, was to be a foil for uh,

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>for her character and and and uh and then you know,

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 2>obviously seeing it when it was all put together, it

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.080
<v Speaker 2>was it was fun. It was fun to be a

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>big piece.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was one of our favorite scenes.

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>It was it really It might be my favorite Emily

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>scene of so many great Emily scenes, but that one.

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>So I've talked about this a couple of times before

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>from an acting perspective, just how important it is, and

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>how difficult it is to be on the other side

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>with far less dialogue but still so much acting required

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and not to trip up you know, Kelly Bishop when

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>she's doing her monologues and timing, timing, timing, tell us,

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>how did you prepare for that scene? Because that's a

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>monster scene to prepare for, And for me personally, I

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>always found it more challenging to have a line here

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and there in between a rapid fire monologue, Lauren coming

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.479
<v Speaker 1>in on fire and she's got a two page monologue

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and you've gone, well but wait, but no it doesn't

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and then yeah, and it's very easy to to kind

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of screw up your partner if your timing is just

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a little off. Tell us about how you're prepared for

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>that scene.

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 2>You only got it the night before, so yeah, I well,

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 2>interesting enough. I I do frequently go back to classes

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and I've I've worked with different teachers and uh, in

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the class that I was in at the time, we

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 2>were doing a lot of scene work that was fast

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>paced stuff, including some Gilmore Girls scenes. So I had

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 2>a sense of like that muscle of just thinking faster.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>That for me, the key is like to just be

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 2>present to worry about it thinking about it being fast,

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>but just have your brain work faster and that that

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>seems to for me help keep me alive and engage

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 2>in not slowing the boat down. I think in the

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 2>in the scene, I don't think I actually interjected. I

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>think it was the other women that had to interject

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>a couple of times. So luckily I didn't have that

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>responsibility because I've I've had that before, when you're waiting

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 2>for that one key word to pick up and so

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 2>that you can time your line. I don't think I

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.959
<v Speaker 2>had to do a whole lot except just be present

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and listen to her and take in what she was

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>giving me. And each time she did it it was

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 2>a little different, so you know, it was it was

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of fun. I kind of just got to be

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 2>just alive listening to her RiPP me apart.

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this scene it became a pivotal part of

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Emily's transformation in the revivals, as she's walking away from

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>her her former life. Did you understand that you obviously

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>understood the gravity of the scene when you were filming it.

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>What's your best memory of being on set?

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 2>The women? I mean, everyone was really, really nice and

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 2>and you know, some some sets have different energies. This

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 2>group of women, they were just friendly and welcoming, and

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, we all rehearsed a bunch because it was

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 2>such a big scene. We had to just get the

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 2>timing down, get it in our bodies. Carolyn Hennessy, who

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 2>was another woman who played Tony. She and I have

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 2>worked together. She worked on General Hospital with me, and

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 2>she's a delight. So it was nice to have somebody

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I knew, and I mean she can she she really

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>helped anchor the scene as well and just made it

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 2>so much fun. And so I think we all fed

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>off of each other. I think for me, the best

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 2>part of that was, uh was just the energy of

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the scene. To be able to do one scene all

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 2>day and enjoy your day, I think says a lot.

0:11:58.520 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a favorite it? But did you see

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>all of the episodes of their revival all four?

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see all I didn't see all four. I mean,

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>of course, my favorite is Gonna Fall because privotal scene

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 2>it really was. But I do not you know, I

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 2>do like with Rory, you know, just jumping to her story,

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I really liked that at the end she was her

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 2>own woman, and I think that was like, who's she

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.439
<v Speaker 2>going to end up with? Is she going to pick

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 2>a person? Like to have her be like I choose myself?

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I think was is is just so cool me growing

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>up and watching you know, women or girls coming of

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.439
<v Speaker 2>age that I loved. It was like they always had

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.839
<v Speaker 2>to find their their love and so I was very

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.920
<v Speaker 2>satisfied with that ending.

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, So let's switch up a little bit. You

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 1>you did an eight episode arc on Chicago med and

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>then film Cash the same time, and this episode of

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Gilmore Girls all happened simultaneously. What was it like going

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.719
<v Speaker 1>from roll to roll to roll at that time in

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 1>your life?

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's like, that's the best. That's an actor's dream.

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 2>I had the at the timing of my life, I

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>was able to do that. I had the freedom to

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 2>pick up and get on a plane and go wherever

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I needed to go. And you know, there's times when

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the work isn't quite as abundant, so that time in

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>my life was awesome. Like that just was a high

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>and playing different characters, exploring different sides of yourself to

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 2>be able to utilize and jump into is just it's

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 2>that's why I got into the business was to just

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 2>play and not get stuck doing one thing. So for

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 2>me that was like, that's like the you know, the playoffs.

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 2>That's great. I'll take that all day long.

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>What are you working on now?

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm working on raising two children, right, the role of

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 2>your life real humans? Oh yeah, that's been my life.

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>But I'm excited to I feel like I'm finally getting

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 2>to a place. My oldest is in kindergarten, so I'm

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 2>starting to see the light again where I might be

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 2>able to start jumping back into stuff and getting my

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>toes wet again.

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Those these years are so great. They're so great, and

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>they go by so fast.

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>You have kids.

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I have a ten year old. Yeah, and he's just

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, all of a sudden, you know, he's it

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>seems like he was born yesterday and now he's ten.

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like, what happened? You know?

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that's I'm not quite at that. I mean,

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 2>it hasn't started going fast yet. For me, it is

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot. I think I have two boys, and so

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I am just I feel very sleep deprived all the time.

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 2>So all my d just blend into one crazy long.

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.160

<v Speaker 2>Must, I must, all right. I don't know Team Dean,

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>It's hard. They all were like important parts of her

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 2>evolution and I can see where they all fit.

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, who's your favorite Gilmour girls couple? Luke and

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Laura or Emily and.

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Richard, Luke and Laurel.

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I shah, come on, why is this question even here?

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:49.360

<v Speaker 5>Would you rather work with Michelle or Kirk.

0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, at first you have to tell me who's Michelle

0:16:58.920 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and who's Kirk.

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:08.320

<v Speaker 2>I love this. I'm going to get one.

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Get one. Okay, is it my turn? Who would you

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>rather hang out with? Paris or Lane?

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to choose Paris.

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Why the truth?

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't know who pairs are laye are? So

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>tell me, give me, tell me which one is Paris,

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 2>which one is Lane? And then and then I if

0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I remember that, I'll tell you with more context.

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Paris is Rory's not best friend. I said Lane's the

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>best friend, but Paris becomes her good friend at Yale

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and Paris is a highly competitive, a highly intelligent, and

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a bit touched. She's a little disturbed. She's she's very aggressive,

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.879
<v Speaker 1>she's you know, the parents are divorced, divorcing, and she's

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 1>she's going through it, you know what I mean. So

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 1>her social skills are not what they should probably bleep

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 1>be Okay, she's just kind of bulldozing over everybody all

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the time.

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Well that that sounds like somebody I don't. I don't

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 2>think I would want to. I think I think that's

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 2>my answer right there, right, Oh gosh, you guys, all right.

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 5>Harvard or Yale or drop out and live in the poolhouse.

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Harvard.

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:38.680
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I have I have mixed feelings about like,

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:40.719
<v Speaker 2>if you wanna you want to pursue your own thing,

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to finish college. But I went to

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:50.120
<v Speaker 2>college and I finished, and the lessons that I gained

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:56.439
<v Speaker 2>from it outside of just academically were like life changing

0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 2>for me. So and then Harvard is somewhere close to

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 2>my heart. I spent some time in Boston and I

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 2>have some friends that went there, And yeah, I choose

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 2>hard Tara, all.

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 3>Right, would you rather attend a DAR event with Emily

0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 3>or a town meeting with Taylor?

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 4>I feel like we know the answer to this.

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I had a DAR event one thousand percent. I would

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:34.880
<v Speaker 2>do that. I mean, I think Serena probably would never

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 2>want to go back. I think she would have PTSD

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 2>after that experience. But no, that is fun. I would

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I would one hundred percent do that with those women

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 2>all time.

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Gil More girl's character that you would want as a roommate.

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, Laura, l is that fair? I mean,

0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:00.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't think she would necessarily want me

0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 2>as a roommate. But she is just like so fun

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 2>and smart and wonderful and uh loving and complicated and

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 2>just everything I would want in a in a person

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 2>who's figuring their lives out, Like I just feel like

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 2>a kin't that.

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Something in your life? You are all in on. I

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 1>think we know what.

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 2>That is all and on. I mean the obvious is

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:30.920
