Speaker 1: I am all in.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's just you.
Speaker 3: I am all in with Scott Patterson, an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Hey, we'll get into our guest interview after these words.
Speaker 1: Hi Son, how you doing, buddy?
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 1: God? I have a drink.
Speaker 2: It's only why I wish it was something else.
Speaker 1: Suzanne is here, so tell us a little bit about yourself. Jason,
Speaker 1: you're a super fan of the show. How did you
Speaker 1: first experience the show?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I caught the gilmour itis when
Speaker 2: I met my wife. We were fifteen years old when
Speaker 2: we met, which is crazy. He goes really really far back.
Speaker 2: She is the super fan in this household, the true
Speaker 2: super I am a super fan by affiliation. But yeah,
Speaker 2: so she she introduced me back to the show back
Speaker 2: when you're fifteen years old. It was something that was
Speaker 2: a staple in her household between her and her father.
Speaker 2: She had lost her mom at a young age, so
Speaker 2: kind of being able to watch that show where there
Speaker 2: was this mother figure that was figuring it out really
Speaker 2: was something that really appealed to her. So that was
Speaker 2: kind of my initiation, I think into their little family,
Speaker 2: you know, tradition, and it was something that kind of
Speaker 2: stuck throughout the duration of our relationship, honestly, and it's
Speaker 2: just kind of carried through. We've been together for over
Speaker 2: fifteen years now. So something that I was trying to
Speaker 2: do the math this morning, like how many times do
Speaker 2: you think we've actually watched this through? And it has
Speaker 2: to be at least twenty five to thirty, Like it
Speaker 2: just happened.
Speaker 4: So were you aware of the show before you watched
Speaker 4: it the first time?
Speaker 2: No, literally never heard of it. It was just something
Speaker 2: that like had never kind of come across I guess,
Speaker 2: you know, just my life. It's something that we never
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, never watched in my household. I
Speaker 2: grew up in a very big household here in New Jersey,
Speaker 2: big multi generational Italian family household where I lived with.
Speaker 1: We're in Jersey Toms River, Okay, Yeah, I'm from Haddenfield, Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very familiar. You still live down in Hamilton for
Speaker 2: a little while, so closer to having to build the Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a really nice area and you're a Philly and everything.
Speaker 2: Very familiar. But yeah, multi generational family. We had one
Speaker 2: TV in the house, so it was like we weren't
Speaker 2: walking girls. We just weren't Yeah, it was whatever whatever,
Speaker 2: most people could kind of get behind. So for me,
Speaker 2: like when I watched it for the first time, I
Speaker 2: was like, this is actually pretty good. Like I would
Speaker 2: have thought to watch this and if I put it
Speaker 2: on in my house, I probably would have been shunned.
Speaker 4: So Gilmore Girls is typically like the target audiences women
Speaker 4: and you know and girls and their their daughter's multi generational.
Speaker 4: What what do you think are the masculine qualities of
Speaker 4: the show, Like what attract men?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good question. I think. I think
Speaker 2: being able to kind of see the different relationships and
Speaker 2: dynamics between the men and the women on the show
Speaker 2: is very appealing. It's something that I feel like I've
Speaker 2: leaned a lot from a lot of the different character
Speaker 2: dynamics on the show, whether it be you know, Luke
Speaker 2: and Laura Wi or Emily and Richard, and kind of
Speaker 2: having an understanding of the way different relationships work. I
Speaker 2: think for me that's certainly appeal. I think another large
Speaker 2: appeal is just the comedy of all of it. I
Speaker 2: think for men, you know, we get a lot out
Speaker 2: of kind of those comedic moments in whatever television series
Speaker 2: are watching. And for me, I just feel like Gilmore
Speaker 2: Girls is just kind of shock filled with them and
Speaker 2: a lot of like these really cool like cultural references
Speaker 2: and things that sometimes like hold on, like put my phone,
Speaker 2: try and figure out what the hell they've been talking about.
Speaker 1: And there's the right it's all the jokes, and it's
Speaker 1: all the pop culture references. I think that's the special
Speaker 1: sauce right there, the humor. Yeah, and and the and
Speaker 1: the pop culture references. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we know that you have a tattoo that
Speaker 4: says all in and I guess you both you and
Speaker 4: your wife have them, right? Yeah? Have you always been.
Speaker 2: Our heads?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Look at that?
Speaker 4: That's cool. Have you always been team Luke since you've
Speaker 4: the first time you watched it or was.
Speaker 2: It like that thing where it's like you just kind
Speaker 2: of wanted to shake lower line and be like, what
Speaker 2: aren't you seeing? Like, certainly have always been team Luke?
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I can't. I really can't picture
Speaker 2: her with any other of her love interests, like long
Speaker 2: term throughout the show besides Luke. Like I think about Max.
Speaker 2: I think about Chris, and we all know nobody nobody
Speaker 2: likes Chris, but like, yeah, I think about Max. I
Speaker 2: think about Jason styles, and I'm like, it just never
Speaker 2: was meant to be. And I think kind of you know,
Speaker 2: Luke and Moreli, they have that kind of fate, you know,
Speaker 2: Starcross lovers, Robbie and Juliette ish kind of thing that
Speaker 2: I think just works for them. And definitely Luke since betting.
Speaker 2: Not just saying that because you're here, Scott.
Speaker 1: No, no, I I no, I agree. I agree actually
Speaker 1: in a student observation for sure. What's your favorite season?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: God, definitely not seasons?
Speaker 1: Did you did you hate the Paris episode when he
Speaker 1: married they got married?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I actually rewatched it today, so I was like,
Speaker 2: maybe they'll ask me about the French twist episode.
Speaker 1: So tell us what you think about that, because we
Speaker 1: just we just recapped it.
Speaker 2: We just I just I think like we can definitely
Speaker 2: see a noticeable shift with season seven, right, we know
Speaker 2: the whole backstory with that Amy and Dan. I'm preaching
Speaker 2: to the choir here, but but I think just I
Speaker 2: felt like it would have never went there if Amy
Speaker 2: and Dan were the ones writing it. So it didn't
Speaker 2: feel like organic to me. It felt like, Okay, how
Speaker 2: many things can we mesh into this final season? Try
Speaker 2: and wrap it up. But I think specifically focusing on
Speaker 2: like Christopher and Moorelai, it just I think us as
Speaker 2: an audience knew they were never meant to be. So
Speaker 2: I think the fact that the show went there was
Speaker 2: kind of like why are we doing this?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What is the reason for this? Is it so that
Speaker 2: like when if Her and Luke cavareinian down the line,
Speaker 2: it feels much more like, my god, this big like
Speaker 2: aha moment. You know. I just feel like the entire
Speaker 2: episode wasn't good, you know, Like for me, I just
Speaker 2: I didn't want to see the show go there. I
Speaker 2: didn't want to see their paths go there. But obviously
Speaker 2: I know that's the direction of the show went, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just it, It wasn't it for me.
Speaker 4: What do you think about Luke's storyline in season seven?
Speaker 2: How far can we go here? I it's challenging for me.
Speaker 2: I think there's I I understand where he's coming from
Speaker 2: with wanting to deepen that relationship with April and wanting
Speaker 2: to kind of like compartmentalize that as much as he
Speaker 2: can between his relationship with Lauraai and his relationship with
Speaker 2: his daughter. And I certainly understand that but I I
Speaker 2: think it's it's hard for me for like for someone
Speaker 2: like look to be like, hey, I'm I'm all in
Speaker 2: with you, right, Like I am all in except for
Speaker 2: this one part of my life you're not allowing right.
Speaker 2: Like for me, it's like, how that that's not healthy
Speaker 2: If that's someone that you are serious about pursuing a
Speaker 2: marriage with, building a family with, you know, they've been
Speaker 2: kind of on this path to build this life together
Speaker 2: for so long. So for me it was really challenging.
Speaker 2: As much as I'm team Luke, I almost wanted to
Speaker 2: shake him a little bit and be like, what are you?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? You need to bring Lauraai into this,
Speaker 2: Like you've been a part of Rory's life for so much,
Speaker 2: even if you weren't her actual father figure, you acted
Speaker 2: as a father figure for her for so long, and
Speaker 2: Lorlai can be that for you. And I think you
Speaker 2: see it in that episode where they have the sleepover
Speaker 2: in Luke Steiner and he just you know, there was
Speaker 2: so much excitement around the fact that like Laura I
Speaker 2: was able to help there, and it's like, I think
Speaker 2: this could have been that the entire time if you
Speaker 2: just kind of brought her into the fold.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what kind of feeling does watching Gilmore Girls give you?
Speaker 2: I think for me because it's a big part of
Speaker 2: my relationship with my wife, it's that it's a homie feeling,
Speaker 2: and I think, you know, it feels comfortable, and it
Speaker 2: feels familiar, and I think it's something that you can
Speaker 2: rewatch again and again and again and again, and like,
Speaker 2: here's something new every single time you rewatch it, which
Speaker 2: I think is one of the Like, literally as recently
Speaker 2: as a few weeks ago, we had just we just
Speaker 2: it's kind of like it was almost playing on loop
Speaker 2: in the background of our life. So it's like when
Speaker 2: one was on and it's literally the first episode of
Speaker 2: the pilot, and there was a line in there that
Speaker 2: just like it literally cracked me up. It was like
Speaker 2: I think her and Ry sitting down at the Wig's
Speaker 2: Diner and where he's like, well, how many dinners is
Speaker 2: it going to take for us to get out of this?
Speaker 2: Or how many dinners is it going to take? And
Speaker 2: She's like, well, I think the deli spread at my
Speaker 2: funeral is going to be you know, the last one.
Speaker 2: Like I was like, one, how did I not ever
Speaker 2: catch that the first time? But like two, that's absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 2: So like for me, it's just like it's it's kind
Speaker 2: of comfortable, but it's also something where like as many
Speaker 2: times have you seen it, like you still find something
Speaker 2: new and you find these like really hilarious one liners.
Speaker 2: I think that's because nature of the show is so fast.
Speaker 2: I really can't catch it all unless you're watching the subtitles,
Speaker 2: so it's like, you know, you you kind of learn
Speaker 2: about these new one liners and kind of jokes throughout.
Speaker 2: So for me, it's like it's comfortable and it's funny,
Speaker 2: and it's it's something that is a little bit mindless.
Speaker 2: Sometimes if you've seen it so many times, it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: like this is comfortable, this is this is familiar.
Speaker 4: What's your favorite episode? It's it's hard to pick just one, probably.
Speaker 2: But I don't know if it's I don't think it's
Speaker 2: my favorite because of like, actually I have a favorite
Speaker 2: scene from an episode, so I think maybe that would
Speaker 2: make this episode my favorite one. I'm blanking on the
Speaker 2: name of the episode. But the episode, it's obviously when
Speaker 2: like Richard is kind of going through his midlife crisis,
Speaker 2: he grows out the mustache and I will say, Emily's
Speaker 2: my favorite character in the show, which is probably a
Speaker 2: shock to some people, but I just think she's absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 2: But it's a scene where she's like in the department
Speaker 2: store going on an absolute rampage and I think loyal Wizehnder.
Speaker 2: She's like, Mom, like that's not for sale, and she's
Speaker 2: like everything's for sale, and I'm just like, this is
Speaker 2: so funny, like she So I love that episode. I
Speaker 2: think it shows like kind of that crazy side of
Speaker 2: Emily that we see a lot, but it was it
Speaker 2: was it was just so funny to me. I know
Speaker 2: it was a hard moment for her kind of like
Speaker 2: as a person, but it was just it was just
Speaker 2: so funny to me, the way that that episode was
Speaker 2: kind of put together.
Speaker 4: What do you what do you think of the way
Speaker 4: dads are portrayed in the show, between like Richard and Christopher.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 2: I think they do a good job of showing a
Speaker 2: variety of different father figures. That's you know, very relevant
Speaker 2: for me right now. I have a two year old
Speaker 2: daughter and we just had another son last week. He's
Speaker 2: one week old. Thank you, so you know, for me,
Speaker 2: and not to get you know, sentimental, but I lost
Speaker 2: my father at fourteen, So it's kind of something where
Speaker 2: it's like, it's really neat to be able to see
Speaker 2: these different types of like father child dynamics, whether that's
Speaker 2: with a daughter or whether that's with a nephew, right
Speaker 2: with like Luke and Jess, you know, so I think
Speaker 2: they do a good job of showing the variety and
Speaker 2: showing that, you know, what support can look like in
Speaker 2: different ways. You know, whether it's Richard giving you know,
Speaker 2: lor Lie seventy five thousand dollars, or you know, whether
Speaker 2: it's you know, Luke and Jess really having those kind
Speaker 2: of obviously they're not father and son, but those father
Speaker 2: in some kind of moments. I think it shows what
Speaker 2: good sometimes doesn't look like when you have somebody like
Speaker 2: Christopher and it's like, hey, why did you just kind
Speaker 2: of of never come around and never make an effort
Speaker 2: in your daughter's life. So I think it shows a
Speaker 2: good spectrum of kind of like good fathers look like,
Speaker 2: but you know, a diverse kind of father looks like.
Speaker 2: You have funny people like Jackson who are fathers, and
Speaker 2: you have like these new fathers like Zach who are
Speaker 2: just trying to figure it out and They're like, what
Speaker 2: the hell am I doing here? And I'm like, I've
Speaker 2: certainly been there before, and that makes me feel a
Speaker 2: little bit more comfortable that, like I'm trying to figure
Speaker 2: it out as a relatively new dad too. So I
Speaker 2: think they do a really good job of portraying like
Speaker 2: different types of father figures.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what what's your wife's name?
Speaker 2: Her name's Nina.
Speaker 4: Okay, Hi, Nina. Tell her congratulations from us.
Speaker 2: I certainly will. She definitely wanted to come on and
Speaker 2: say hi. If we have time.
Speaker 1: Permitting, Yeah, bring her on right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me grab her nervous to nervous and she's
Speaker 2: wrapping her deal More Girls heady.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hi bhye how you Joan? Look at that? Nice?
Speaker 2: So nice to meet you.
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you.
Speaker 4: Congratulations on the new baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's been a super Canniba show longer than I,
Speaker 2: Like I said, she introduced me and you know, into
Speaker 2: all of it, and it's it's been really just like
Speaker 2: a staple in our relationship. Obviously. As you can tell
Speaker 2: from the tattoo, she has more Gilmore Girls tattoos. She
Speaker 2: has an Omnia Paratus, which we know is you know,
Speaker 2: life and Death Brigade and then she has a dragonfly too, So.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what is what is your wife's name, Nina?
Speaker 1: Nina High Hi? So what how did you first discover
Speaker 1: the show?
Speaker 3: I was? I was so, I was probably in like
Speaker 3: sixth or seventh grade. Really, my mom and I would
Speaker 3: watch every week, and then when she passed, my dad.
Speaker 2: Actually started watching with me. So my dad.
Speaker 3: Literally has seen every single episode, and he was in
Speaker 3: love with Lauren Graham to the point where we would
Speaker 3: hang up pictures of her around our house see if
Speaker 3: he would notice, and he would tell.
Speaker 5: People it was a friend. And then when I met him.
Speaker 3: When we were fifteen, he started watching it and it
Speaker 3: just became special for my whole family. And then my
Speaker 3: dad recently passed, and now I want to show my
Speaker 3: daughter when she gets older. She's only two, so.
Speaker 2: We have something. There's a lot of references we don't
Speaker 2: want to explain yet there.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, but it's just been really special for a
Speaker 3: long time.
Speaker 1: Are you going to raise your children viewing Gilmore Girls?
Speaker 1: Do you think as a good influence on.
Speaker 3: Them when she's older teenager?
Speaker 1: So you're not going to let them watch it until
Speaker 1: they're teenagers?
Speaker 3: I don't think so, probably, like sound like a skip
Speaker 3: over the season seven where Christopher comes needs to see
Speaker 3: that negativity.
Speaker 1: How do you like your coffee? Guys? This is called
Speaker 1: rapid fire. You don't have to answer them rapidly DCAF.
Speaker 2: With Almond Milk.
Speaker 1: Uh. Who would you want as a roommate on from
Speaker 1: the cast in real life?
Speaker 2: I know your answer? My answers Emily Laura mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Who do you think is a better couple Luke and
Speaker 1: lareli are Richard and Emily.
Speaker 2: Luke and Laurley Luke and Laura Lai. I think they
Speaker 2: have that like Star Cross lovers.
Speaker 1: And I asked a couple of questions.
Speaker 4: I don't remember all the rapid fire questions I was asking.
Speaker 4: I don't have them in front of me, so I them. Okay,
Speaker 4: go for it. Nina, you asked the rapid fire questions.
Speaker 3: Would you rather go to a D A R Up
Speaker 3: meeting or a town hall meeting?
Speaker 1: Would you rather go to a DAR meeting with Emily?
Speaker 1: We already know what you are going to do.
Speaker 2: It was with Emily, yes, But I and also because
Speaker 2: I've heard the town hall scenes took ten years to film,
Speaker 2: so absolutely not. Don't know absolutely for me?
Speaker 1: Uh, what's your favorite Friday night dinner.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I like Huban food, so like some sort
Speaker 2: of like vodka freetha or something like that would be good.
Speaker 2: I don't think Emily would be called serving that though,
Speaker 2: so that'd be a hard one.
Speaker 3: And we're all Italian over here, so definitely an Italian dish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Jersey Italian suh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you already know.
Speaker 1: What in your life? Are you two all in on?
Speaker 2: Is this the joint answer or do you want to
Speaker 2: go first?
Speaker 3: Our new family of four?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2: building this life together.
