You, I am all in with Scott Patterson and iHeart Radio podcast.

Hey everybody, Scott Patterson, I am all in Podcast one Productions, iHeart Radio, iHeart Media, I heard podcast and I am joined by my intrapid crew Daniel Romo, Suzanne French, Amy Sugarman, Tera sud Is On. We've just placed her on the injured reserved list. Yes, she is not laughing.

It's not funny. It's just funny how you said it. She hurt her ankle, like bad.

Really bad.

She will not be in the starting lineup today. And I don't even know she's going to be able to come off the bench because she's on an airplane right now with a spring.

And I didn't want her to fly because she hurt her ankle.

She's down a stair.

Getting a mimosa for a celebrity like yourself, and she herself.

Would you say it wasn't even for herself.

Another celebrity, And there's like a goose egg sized something on her ankle. Now, what are you eating? I'm eating cheerios and chocolate chips.

What are you eating?

Peter Joe's rice crackers are unbelievable.

We better swallow. They complain when we chew, but I'm so hungry that I might faint if I don't.

I'm willing to take the slings and arrows.

Yeah, I kind of need to to these crackers. Danielle and I have had a rough week. I have two weeks. Actually I have anxious dizziness and anxious poops.

Oh that's t m I, but that is. You know, we're here.

And Danielle, we're in a circle of trust.

We can we're in the safe space. You said we were in the sewer spree. And then Danielle sculled me and she said, I think there's an elephant saying on my.

Chest like angelders like I might be on the verge of a panic attack, but I'm not sure.

And here's what we can say. None of it caused by you, Scott.

No, no, no, oh god, no way.

It's never Scott. And it's never better Ashley, if you listen to our shows, never Scott.

Never.

I'm sorry Danielle that you're having. Look, you know what, re route the calls to me. Let me deal with them. Just a couple of on the golf course. Let me tell you something I can do.

Oh my God, oh God, we all just need to de breathe.

Do the box breathing technique. You know what, the box Danielle. You know when you get like that, you know what you give it. You do the box breathing. You go in hail through the nose for four seconds, hold it for four seconds, and then let it out of your mouth for four seconds four seconds, and just keep doing that and it'll it'll calm you down. This is how marines and soldiers survive and stay calm in a live firefight with the enemy.

You don't seem like an anxious guy, Scott.

Do you have anxiety?

Yeah?

Not really.

I didn't get the vibe that you had anxiety. How about you?

Oh yeah, since I was.

I'm a grounding person. So like when I get like like this, I just go outside and lay and oh yeah that's good.

Yeah, that's it. Get those vibrations coming out of the earth, Gilmer.

Girls does not give me anxiety. I will say that, it really doesn't. It's the antidote.

It's like aliens from the planet seventh Heaven came and inhabited all our not saying that that's you know, seventh Seven's a great show and all that, but now it's like Seventh Heaven Part two.

There was the weirdest TikTok I saw the other day about Seventh Heaven. Danielle, did you watch Seventh seven?

Uh?

Yes?

Did you see the scene where Jessica Biel wants Barry Watson to practice kissing with her? No?

I do not recall this.

And then the like Reverend Dad comes out. He's like, no, Bigdale, I'm.

Just like, what's happen that show? That show was something else.

Yeah, it was the Seventh Heaven. Rewatch because it needs to happen anyway.

Go Bulldogs, Gold Bulldogs.

Uh.

She's in seven episodes, six.

Air date November seven, two thousand and six. Should we get into it after this break?

Yeah?

All right, let's do it.

Let's take a break and we'll be back after these words from our sponsors. All right, we're back, everybody. I hope that didn't take too long. We do have a lot of sponsors clamoring to get on the podcast, and we love them. Danielle, take it away.

I will gladly take any anxiety medication sponsors my way.

On my way, I say the calm ap, the calm app, talk space better help there you know what you do? You just go hi, Oh yeah, that's true.

Yeah, you make that noise.

That makes it worse.

I agree, I totally agree. We're off the rails today.

How do you make it sound so snotty?

Like?

How do you do that? How do you do that?

I'll try anything, I'll try anything. I'm work doing the box breathing. But then it said the Internet said to sigh as it goes out, So you four in hold it and then you go yes.

That's how Jack Nicholson prepares to act in a scene. And he does that. He lays on his back with his knees. He does that about one hundred times.

Oh god, alright, but before everyone tunes out. This is the seven episode six Go Pulldogs air day, November seven, two thousand and six. Christopher talks the Lorelight into visiting Rory during parents weekend at Yale, but is surprised to see Emily and Richard doing the same. Meanwhile, Rory is busy at the paper with breaking news. Luke meets April, swim coach, who convinced it convinces him to take her.

Yeah she was WHOA was one of my favorite scenes. That was one of my favorite swimming.

I can't wait to talk about it.

Okay, can do you know how to swim?

Me?

Yeah?

I was ay a swimming champion as a boy.

So Scott knows how to swim, but Luke not so much, continued Danielle.

No, that was.

I turned my pack on competitive swimming at age twelve.

But still you were good.

That was pretty good.

Yeah, that lady was totally nuts. Totally nuts. And also obviously Emily and Richard are going to be at parents again. That was the most obvious thing ever. Why would you think they wouldn't be because they're not parents? Yeah, but I go to grandparents and Special Friends day. Anyone can go. What do you think over all of this episode?

I thought it was I thought it I'd never seen an episode of Have Seventh Heaven, but it's it seemed like it was episode seventh Heaven.

Oh no, it was too vanilla.

It was, Yeah, it was.

It was incredible.

I feel like they're throwing away a lot of Luke in this, and I.

Did not like it.

Well, there's yeah, right, there's no conflict in it. There's no steaks, there's no right. Even the ending was like kind of like, wah, nothing, there's no cliffhanger.

There's no it was like the car scene. It was like, let's just end on. Rory smiling like, yeah, it.

Was kind of cornball.

Cornball.

It wasn't good. It wasn't bad. It was just sort of nothing.

Susanne agree, it was just fine. It's just fine. Yeah, not mad at it. I had a couple of giggles.

I had some giggles with the with the swim coach stuff. I thought she was great.

I had some.

I will get there, but I'm annoyed that it then turned into her trying to ask you.

I don't know why it was.

She was a weird character.

Yeah, and I'm just like, this is so not Luke, can you not do this?

And like who does that on a date? Let me tell you all about my ex boyfriend, Like nobody does that.

Yeah, that was weird.

Well some of rachels did what she did.

Yes, oh my god.

Yeah, I've had some odd first dates.

Thanks, Suzanne, should go through it. I think she's really good at it. Well, thank you, and the people like it.

Okay, sure, people being aiming to you.

Is on the Instagram vouching.

For you right now.

I just I just wanted to get my stuff in early because I'm shutting up the whole.

No, Scott, they don't want you to walk away. Although you've got a lot of support out there. Many people agree with you. Seven out of eight dentists agree with you.

Oh my god, that was the one that. Oh wow, I don't like whar.

We're like, I've got the boop.

Scott's missing a tune?

You going there?

I thought I had a temporary one to put in there.

It's not comfortable on my gum.

Oh are we what they call a motley crew?

Oh god, yes, we might be. Yes, we're pretty Some weeks were motleyer than others.

Yeah, this is a particularly motley that's like Tara, she's like injured.

Like it's like we've been on tour for six months and we're just like.

I might pass out at any moment. Danielle's got to go to urgent care. Yes, I've been taking my blood pressure. Does who raise your hand? If you have a blood pressure tester at home?

I don't.

Listen.

Send my way. I will fix them, we know, actually, send my way.

Danielle has an interesting match.

I'll fix them, right, Suzanne.

Right, So the opening I thought I actually thought the opening was kind of cute. So Laurelie on the phone with Emily, detending that she's leaving a message and Emily is like she's just totally playing her and Emily's screaming and yelling I'm here. That was actually really thought that was pretty clever.

That was good.

Now, thank you to whoever sent this on social Jackie, I'm throwing you a curveball. I need you to pull up that scene. Allegedly the movie they're watching says something that you can hear, like my ex wife was better at decision making something. We need to listen to what they are hearing on the television in that scene, because everyone thinks it was intense channel. Oh, Jackie's on that while we keep talking.

Mm hmmm.

So that was a cute scene up until the point where you realize that, Like Christopher's.

I was like, it's okay, he's still cute for me. Yeah, it was okay, although he acts like a big dork in this episode later, but right now he's still okay.

Yeah. And then after the opening, we're in the kitchen. Christopher brings coffee and croissants and there was a cute line about Cafe ol Age.

She's like, oh, yeah, he's trying to learning French. Yeah, it was kind of cute ish a little.

For Yeah, it just seems like laurelized unhinged. Yeah, just kind of crackling with nervous energy. Yeah, you know, and it's like it's all just too much.

Yeah, I'm on crunch, Okay, we like it's just like, ohrenetic, is that the word?

Yeah, that would be the word.

Yeah.

So, big pile of mail on the table because she only opens it once a month, which you know, actually that's not a bad because you only pay your bills once a month anyway, so you don't.

I'll pay him online now that I really only opened my junk mail, and then I just separate it out.

Here's that's all there are now is junk mail and.

Something from the DMV.

Yeah, like I had to hold her medical bill, yeah, or.

A jury summons, Jerry summons.

So in this pile of mail is a flyer for parents weekend, which just happens to be that coming weekend. So she calls Rory says, your parents are coming. Rory's surprise, like, why would you do that? Setting the stage, you know, setting the tone that Laurel doesn't come to these sorts of.

Things, which I kind of understand because where I went to college was forty five minutes to an hour away from my house, and I used to do the same thing, like mom, totally get lunch with me whenever you want.

Right, Yeah, my parents never came to a parent's weekend. This sorority stuff.

They toa that's like kind of same, but like the school stuff.

No, well, I just be like see at the football game.

It's right, Yeah, that was pretty much how it was for me too. But Christopher wants to see the gemstones of Yale.

Christmas.

Yeah, yeah, it seems like a pain.

Who's zim?

But I'm sure we'll.

Get to that.

Oh yeah, yeah, well did they?

Yeah?

She she says that, And then we go to the diner. Kirk and Lulu are being cute seene and she's sharing her muffin, very cute moment with Luke being a dad and making April's lunch and she leaves it on the counter, and you know, Luke of course knows everything she needs. Do you have your your swimsuit? Do you have your sweater? Do you have your pro tractor? Moment?

That was a good moment. I hadn't thought about a pro tractor in a long time. It's one of the things you're us in the seventh grade and then yeah, and then it's never to be seen again.

You know. One of the things that dawned on me when I was watching that scene is that we're getting very far down the road, uh, in this new reality where and it's and it's it's disturbing for.

Me, like we're getting distance from Luke and Laura laid.

It's just a whole different show. It's hard getting used to it, right.

That's why, you know, like having to take I have to like find the parts that I like and just be grateful for those because getting that early season feeling back again.

It's right, it doesn't seem to be turning. Yes, it's a whole different animal. It's a whole different animal.

Yeah.

I'm so happy you said that, Scott, because I had the same exact feeling with this episode. And what I was trying to express earlier was what you just said. And I kept being like, they're doing what they're doing to Luke as what they did to Lane, you know, like how Lane and Rory used to be such a unit, and then Rory left and then Lane was kind of left behind and they're trying to find all these different storylines for her to make it work. That's what I

But okay, right, they don't make sense. But I have to tell you, I enjoyed acting them, and I enjoyed watching them. I just wish they could have mixed that kind of stuff because because that was really good writing for Luke. But I think it would have been much better if that stuff existed, like.

If he was like he's learning to swim and Lorelai comes to the pool and we're not trying this bit with this Serrando swim coach, but we're still doing the same stuff and even the making of the lunch.

I kind of agree with you. Yeah, I kind of.

Agree with you there.

Yeah, I think that's the valid point.

Yeah.

And then Kirk says he's suffocating from malarial kind of a carryover from the last episode where both his mom and Lulu were kind of putting pressure on him. And then April had left, but she came back because she left her lunch on the counter, and then Luke gives a cute little smile on her. I noticed, like in these more recent episodes, there's a lot of like shots

Who is that?

Isn't that the guy from Oh gosh, now, I can't think of it. He's from something.

I'm looking it up.

I was insane, Okay, it's now, of course, after as soon as I said that, like a baby escapes my brain.

No, I don't know what I mean.

He is an American actor and comedian, So I do think he's right everybody loves Yeah, I think he might be right.

He was. He was fairly prominent in his day.

Yeah, he was on Becker with my boy Ted Danson.

Oh yeah, okay, maybe that's what I'm thinking of.

Here's a lot of acting work.

Yeah, yeah, you were right.

Sometimes that's all I can get. So then we go to the Dragonfly and Michelle and Suki are arguing about who's going to be in charge of the front desk, which I thought was kind of weird because why would Suki want.

To be in charge to the front thank you?

Yeah, thank you.

It was we all know that she owns the place. Like it was kind of like, huh, yeah it was. It was a little funny they kept calling him captain but otherwise.

Yeah, and then new vegetable guy comes in, Harvey Tuttle, and he's got a basket with.

Vegetables, and this did make me a lot.

Yeah, it was. It was kind of a funny, funny little thing.

Although I want to dig into ratituey, but I don't think I like ratituey. I don't know that I've ever been. Was that what shoes making ratituy?

I'm not sure what it is. What is it?

Just like a bunch of chopped of vegetables that mouse the mouse ratituey.

I think it's eggplant based, but it's like a bunch of chopped up vegetables and then you simmer it and.

It's like when you go to Italian restaurant you ask or something vegetarian this is.

I don't think it would be good for my certain situation right now. No, best to not go for the veggies right now. Yeah, probably Oh, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, onions, and egg plant. That's going to be a no for me.

No, I don't mind. I don't know you would like that. I don't mind.

A little Mediterranean, Yeah, Mediterranean is a good die.

Jump in the ocean at midnight, be wonderful.

And then we go to the pool. So we got outside of Stars Hollow. We got outside of that was exciting. Where was that To do a little location shoot there?

That was?

That was probably fun, Jackie.

Can you see where that pool was? I'd like to know where that pool was. Indoor pool not my favorite, but yet they're a little humid.

And do you remember, Scott, do you remember where you film that.

Pool?

Though you think, yeah, I'm not a big.

And then so this is where we meet swim coach and Luke says he doesn't know how to swim, which I thought was interesting for a guy that likes to be shut on his boat and go fishing. I put a huge.

Flag and he does say he doggy paddles. So that we were like, okay, at least like he kind of knows. But I was like, no, there is no chance this dude does not know how to swim.

No, yeah, I agree with you, no.

Chance, I think chanct.

I'm sure that the fans will either back me up or correct me. There was this there was some point where Lorlai said something to him about swimming at the lake.

Yeah.

I can't remember what episode it was, but she said made some comment about I've seen you with your shirt off at the lake or something.

Yeah, when they were younger, or passing by each other at the so stand.

I don't know.

I don't know if so he threw his nephew in water, which I think somebody who doesn't swim wouldn't.

Do it, didn't do yeah, right, I don't know.

So it doesn't track.

But I had to suspend our disbelief on that one. But yeah, and then uh then.

Coach some coach is nuts, the swim coach she's but not yet she gets nuts in the pool, right, Yeah.

So then she's like, oh, I started this class last week. You won't have missed that much if you take it. And then April thought this was hilarious, which she was cute, and.

She said mom, let's call That was a little cute see for me with the mom and dad just saying.

I mean, I was cute that she's finally calling him dad, and so agree.

I like that too. But then let's call him mom. Made like one big happy family.

But what else?

Yeah, So then we go to Yale and then this is kind of where things took a turn for me. I kind of like checked out after that, Like the whole Yale stuff. I just it just wasn't it just was not interesting to me. I just didn't I don't know. Okay, so the pool apparently was in Glendale, but we don't know exactly.

We don't know where. Yeah, that makes sense.

It could have been like a YMCA or something. Yeah, So they check in with the name tag. So this is where the weird name tag comes in because she Laurel I was suggesting that they do silly name tags for the two of them, like and I can't remember what the examples she gave were, but one of them was zinfandel, like the wine though, is that what it was? That's where the zoo came from. But then Christopher like his was.

I'm Rory Gilmore's dad or something.

Yeah, it was like, oh, Christopher right right on the middle of the chest.

I think he's just a kind of a door that I put it on the leg. That's where the cool kids do it. I learned that from from being backstage at concerts for so many years. You got it because I'm so famous. I basically was getting people water backstage. But you put it on like your pants. That's what the cool kids do.

And then well and then it doesn't like brush up against stuff as much like a jacket. It falls off and stuff. So there's like this hyper girl at the check in table and she was she was.

So happy to be it.

Yeah, yeah, the little zany.

I thought, we all know that person. Though we all know that person.

Yeah, that's true.

My mom and dad Welcome to parents.

Wee get She's like, I go here, I go here, okay, thanks. So they're looking at the activities list and they call Rory, but she's busy because they have to put out a parent's weekend edition of the paper. So they're trying to decide what to do. And while that boring conversation is happening, then Luke is at the pool.

She got weird.

Yeah, this is where she's like got her hands all over him. Weird. Really, I thought that was weird.

And then doing he's ignoring the other guy.

Yeah, She's like, you're fined, Harold or whatever. And then so she gives him so Okay, I just get annoyed at weird things. It bothered me that when they got out of the pool, she gave him a flyer and I was still dripping wet and his hands are wet and she's handing him this piece of paper. It's like it's gonna get all wet.

It was, Yeah, but that was kind of nipicky.

But so she gives him her phone number on the on the team rosters on the team, right, and so that was just a quick little so I thought this was now we we were talking earlier about Luke they it was on to me. That scene almost felt like because the coach could have I mean, maybe it would have been awkward, but the coach could have asked Luke out when he first met her at the at the I mean, the lesson is like the next day or

To me, I thought it was just to get him a date. It was like a way to get him a date.

I mean, that's what they used it for, but there were plenty of other ways.

How do you feel about being in Baywatch, Scott? But did it come back to it all when you're like, I'm in that pool with that random lady.

I never, I never. I haven't done a lot of top topless, right, Yeah, I don't care for them.

A few bedroom scenes with Loreli.

That was like very shirtless, extremely bound, took a bow, Jackie mute him.

People like didn't listen to the beginning and just forwarded through the night.

That just was.

It's kind of weird for me. I'm not gonna look, let's be honest, it's weird for me now those scenes compared to how I used to watch him, because like, we're so tight now, I know, but it's okay, we have to address it. Back in the day, I probably was like yeah, but now I'm like, this is weird, and she was so weird and making me so uncomfortable that it was just like kind of kind of cringey.

Yeah, I didn't like it.

I didn't like it.

I was like weird.

The side note, speaking about the pool, Jackie did some more digging and it was a y mc a pool. Yeah, I guess on my part, but good job. Yeah, thank you.

You know what it's like seeing it's weird, how I'm like less uncomfortable seeing Laura lie with Christopher. I don't really want to see Luke with anyone else.

I agree.

I'm kind of like that's not that's not cool.

But if you're gonna put him with somebody, put him with somebody that's unexpectedly not say yeah because it was fun.

Yeah, And then you know what's fun about it was when you got home and told April.

No, I thought that I thought that dinner was fun?

Well, yeah, because she was so nuts.

You know, I don't mind seeing Luke with Anna unpopular opinion.

I don't mind it.

Oh wow, wow, wow wow that would have done. That is something to think about.

I have a dish of that. You didn't expect that coming out of the kitchen.

Yeah, yeah, I might have.

He's calm, cool, collected, like you know, I don't know.

Yeah, they look another unpopular opinion. But Luke and Anna makes sense, I think I do.

Like, I mean, if they're gonna go with Laura like Christopher, I mean, you gotta try a little Luke and Anna.

Well yeah, I mean I can see the vibe thing. But Len Finn, Yeah, see him with like getting back together with the woman that hid his child from him. For agree, we've all really been for that, and yet it's so ridiculous. Yeah, I would be mad forever. Yeah, like, I don't think I should forgive that.

Come on, nobody can stay mad that long.

Oh Scott, if that was real life and it was you, you would be furious forever.

But no, no, no no, because you have to let it go for the sake of the child. You don't want the child to be around that kind of.

Tem Well, it's also like, what are you going to do now? Can't rewind right?

Right? You gotta move on, You have to move You can't carry that around.

Yeah, when I'm wrong.

So then if you go to this cringey brunch at Yale and everyone seems to know who Rory Gilmore is, right, weird and his parents, I guess, like they read her name on the paper because you know, on the masthead of the paper, and then you know, some of the dads are talking about, you know, the homework and the practices.

I guess though, Like at my school, everyone know who knew who Doug Brian was because he was the kicker of the football team and he was amazing. I knew because he went on to play at the forty nine Ers and the Saints and he like I think he won a Super Bowl. I was just kidding, Oh you did, you were? Oh my god, I believe you, because like maybe Rory is the Doug Brian of Yale, like everyone.

Is the editor of the paper, all these kids Berkley.

Right, yeah, I mean I don't know. I guess there's just there's I don't know how many students there are at Yale. Like, I mean, I just thought it was weird. So then I just thought it was weird that they would all know, Like I went to a huge university and I didn't. I don't have the slightest idea who the editor of the paper was.

But yeah, paper, but.

That's the Yale daily News. That's different.

That's pretty major.

That's a major.

Or just under fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand for Yale.

This says undergraduate enrollment of six thousand. Wow, they've got conflicting information. Yeah, I mean at the university, if the private institution, if he's.

An aspiring journalist, maybe he was already working on the paper. I don't know, but whatever. So they're all talking about, you know, the dad stuff they've done over the years, and Chris is, you know, just sort of like nodding, like he's smiling, and then you see the smile fade and he's kind of nodding.

You know he's right because he didn't.

Exactly the pouting. You can see the pouting. And then Emily and Richard are there. I don't know, I didn't like that conversation.

I just I was kind of dumb. But I expected them to be there.

I see, I did not.

I mean, I I.

Don't know. I wouldn't so as a parent, like my own parents, who are the grandparents, they don't come to stuff unless they're invited, Like they don't just show up at my kids' school.

Right, But they were paying for Yale. He went to Yale he's a professor. Like it fully tracked for me, I was like, of course they're here now, I'm so I'm putting the red flag dead on that.

Especially from Laurel I's point of view, I would not have ever expected to run into my parents there.

What was weird is that Rory didn't say, oh, Grandma and Grandpa are coming.

To surprised was that Laurel I was there at all surprised Richard and Emily because they're the ones that are consistent.

Yeah, yeah, and I mean I get that Emily was surprised, But the other part of that too was that apparently they've been going every year and Laurel I had no idea, like.

Right, But Rory should have been like, oh, like like if my mom was like, oh, we're coming in to see you at school, I would have been like, gogm baba are coming too, Like that would be so normal to say it's weird, right, Rory didn't say that.

Yeah, I just I don't know. I didn't. I had an issue with the whole thing.

So it was also boring. That's my thing.

The kids went way too long. It was too much of a conversation, and then there they were talking about her name tag and she's like, oh, it's the secret Yale code. I'm like, what this is?

Just dump?

Can we just go to the next scene. I just thought that that bit went way too long.

Yeah yeah, and even Christopher like feeling bad about being a bad dad went on too long. Yeah yeah, exactly.

So the whole brunchy thing I thought was interesting.

The food was interestingly delicious though.

And then they go to the lecture. Okay, I wow, that's wow.

Were you it?

Juster asks a sign of physics question.

Yeah, matter or something, and then like Laura was the most like she's being rude using the phone and talking the whole time.

And then he turns into Stephen hawking what happened? What's going on here?

Yeah?

It was just like suddenly Christopher is like this intellectual guy that has this question about you know, but you know.

What, it's still Gilmore girls, and I still loved it.

I agree.

I actually second of this.

Well someone should.

I still am happy we have it, do you know what I mean? Yeah, although as we're talking, I'm much more interested in Scott's nasally and Danielle's panic like that that conversation was a hint we're compelling for me.

Whatever.

But Laurla does have the idea that they will beat Richard and Emily out by taking Rory to the fancy French restaurant for lunch, and so she's trying.

To I'm struggling, like they should rename the episode Watching the Paint Dry.

Yeah, I'm like, okay, they we're like at the paper and then we're like inviting all. Then suddenly they bop into the paper, right, and it's just like, let's all go to lunch.

What you know, there just wasn't any payoff.

There was.

A good a good Gilmour episode has tons of planting seeds and then then harvesting crops, and the crops are the lasts and there's lots of seeds planted and lots of laughs to be had, and this just didn't plant enough seeds or yeah, it just.

It just it was just kind of flat, like here's a really bad sign. This is really bad and I'm gonna admit it, and for everyone listening, I'm gonna really try and spice things up because I'm sort of like is it time for pop culture yet? Like I'm a little bit like I don't care. Yeah, the kremberlet talk that went on and.

On and on.

Yeah, like that thread that ran through the whole episode, and he's.

Inviting everyone singing sorry, okay, I'm jumping ahead.

Yeah why, And Suki's feeling guilty about her vegetables about that, like.

Free food, right, just use it, it's gonna go to waste.

That's what Jackson would have said, like yourself here. I don't know, it's like, yeah, felt like she was cheating on him or something.

Word.

Yeah, I understand. I understand that she felt she was cheating and that was kind of cute, but like yeah, and then when she put that ratitude in the sink and I thought she was gonna like throw it down, I got fully uncomfortable. I was like, dude, don't waste food. Yeah, and then I was happy that it was in the sink, but nothing was touching it, so I was like, oh, he can leave and she can pull it back out. Like That's what I was thinking about rather than what they were talking about.

Right.

I was super fixated on like the ratitude pot in the sink and like, don't get it near the sponge or the ajax or whatever.

Oh, not concentrating on the dialogue or the plot.

Oh stuff.

So then we go over to the diner. We're back with Kirk and Luke, and Kirk says he's breaking up with Lulu. He says, as of seven hundred this evening, which doesn't make sense because O seven hundred by definition is in the morning.

But whatever, how do you say, oh, seven hundred at night it's nineteen sixteen or something, sorry, sixteen nineteen whatever. I couldn't do the math. You add twelve, got it?

Got it?

So I did think it was kind of cute when Luke like put his arm around Kirk and was like, you are not going to break up with this really nice girl who we're all shocked likes you, right, I don't know what she sees in you. Kind of a cute moment. I didn't very I mean, Lork, Luke and Kirk together is usually pretty funny.

That's money.

That is money.

I agree, And it was sweet and it was good.

That was the spin off for me.

That was the best scene. That one of the best scenes.

That was That was good.

That's the spin off that I pitched to Warner Brothers.

Did you really are you just saying that?

No?

I did? I did?

I sat down in the executive dining room and everything, and they're saying, well, we'd miss all the characters, and the audience would miss the characters that aren't there.

And I said, yeah, but I just add some more quirky characters.

I just have different characters.

Wait till bun Heads, because that's basically what they did. They kind of took like an inkling of Gilmour and added a bunch of kooky characters around. Yeah.

But my husband and I watched Bunheads when I forget what it was on, and it really it it feels like the lost season of Gilmour.

I totally agree with you, Susanne comes it just one season. It was to it was to oh gosh, it's gonna be a.

Because there's like a bunch of unresolved questions at the end.

But it was good.

I mean it was good. It was Yes, it was I think you're onto something that it was sort of like it had the gilmouriness that we sort of lost, well Dan exactly one season.

And to answer fan questions because I've seen some posts. I've seen a couple of posts and they want to know why Amy and Amy's name is still on the show as.

Executive because you created it, right.

Because she created it? Yes, yes, so she's still getting paid.

Example, if you all get your wish and get rid of me one day, my name will still be honest because I agree.

No, I didn't we co create it.

Yeah, your name will always be on it too, all right, yeah, yeah, but we can't get rid of either of us because we did it together.

You cannot.

Yeah, so I can't quit you.

Then we have Christopher and Laureli coming into the newsroom and Rory doesn't see them at first, so they're just kind of watching her in action and talking about her.

Being At this point, it's like the couple that wouldn't go away. Yeah, yeah, it was like a horror film.

They were sort of fun though here I could have done without the lecture and just jumped to this. They were sort of cute, and they got weird and Chris when yeah, she's all hey Chris, he.

Gets into his show off ee mode about how loaded he is, and the whole newsroom to lunch at being Zinjustan, which I don't know why they gave it such a weird name, but they did, and Rory kind of has this weird look on her face, like why are you doing this?

And even Laura I was like okay, hey, let's go have lunch on they could have just invited Paris. Yeah, it was like that would have made sense, like that is her friend.

I don't know, it's very and he wants to show off how much money he has and he wants to be the bro and you know, yeah, I thought he was.

Just flexing like I'm gonna I'm going to be the dad. I'll be the dad.

How many times did he say totally totally, you can totally come up.

We should totally, we should totally add that up. Yeah, And then I think people play a drinking game when I say totally, then.

It goes straight from the newsroom to the restaurant. And now we're talking about I guess winter vacation and ski resorts and the restaurant.

The restaurant looked fake, you guys, the restaurant looked fake.

Oh totally, yeah, very fake. It looked like a soap opera set.

Yes, they went right over to Days of Our Lives and just did the scene there.

Yeah, and.

You know, some guy was like, well can I rent skis? And Christopher's like, oh look, you my god. Stop, I'm just asleep. And I did like the part where Loreline looks at Rorn's people. Aren't your friends, are they? And she's like, no, not really.

Yeah, that was pretty funny.

It was fine, Like it's all fine. Like, here's what I recommend about season seven. Watch it while you're doing something else, ironing some emails, paying your bill.

That's a good point. You really don't need to pay.

That closes.

It's enjoyable because you're not missing much.

You're not like cooking dinners.

You're not missing great culture references. There's it's just like kind of like kind.

Of fun background entertainment.

I'm gonna say, I fell asleep to this episode twice. Oh yeah, mine, such a bad You know how everyone now watches Friends to just fall asleep? Yeah, you know that's what it did to me every episode five times the.

Watch Gilmore to fall asleep too. Yeah. You know how many husbands I've had come up to me and say, my wife insists that we go to sleep to.

Speaking of, I have a question about that. How many married couples go to sleep at the same time? Is that common?

I am probably very very few.

That's what I would say, Like, yeah, you guys the marriage within half an hour of each other.

Yeah.

Really, Like you're like, oh, we get in bed together at the same time, but my husband's always up way later than I am name hours.

Yeah, I'm up hours later hours. For those of you who think I have no one in my life, you're wrong. They always write that wymes out. Yeah, Wow, you don't know everything about me. I think it's because I've been I'm so anxious that something happens when my like because I think I have too much cortisol or what's the

Yeh cool, that's great.

Calm is good meditation.

Yeah, I've been doing meditation's non stop, NonStop.

No, it's good stuff.

Totally agree, good stuff.

Did we finish the episode?

No?

I was like, what, We're just having a good time with each other today.

We are like, okay, so we're still at the restaurant at the weird lunch there. Our phones all go off because of this breaking news about.

Which is so crazy because that's my phone's been going off all week for the same breaking news, isn't there there's a protest and there's protests Like that was weird.

I was like, and you know what, you know, it was really odd in this episode. And we'll go back to when the guy was bragging about his kid making a whirlpool generator. Nick comes home last night from robotics and said one of these that was make a whirlpool generator. You know, yeah, freaked me out.

That is weird.

That's weird.

But life imitates art imitates life.

Chicken Years explode in the middle of the night and cost you thirty two hundred dollars to repair the title damage.

Wait, talk to me what happened on the show?

That guy was, Yeah, thing exploded in the middle of the night and damaged the time.

Yeah, good memory, because that was super boring.

For me that I was like, I don't care about your kid, Ethan, so.

I didn't even remember his name.

Wow.

There was a little chuckle when everybody leaves and then they bring you know, oh yeah things of cremberw lay and ten things of kognak to the table. That was a little amusing, little chuckle.

There, not a laugh, but yeah, barely a chuckle for me.

Yeah.

And then we go to Luke's apartment and he's about to go out on his date.

So Lane, oh my god, we haven't had the date yet.

No, we haven't had the date yet. Now, Amy, I thought this was interesting that Lane was there to babysit. Now, April is thirteen, and Amy, when you were thirteen, like we were the babysitting.

I was being paid to babysit. Like we didn't have babysitters at thirteen. My baby brother is five years younger than me and barely had a babysitter. Because.

Yeah, I don't think that was Luke's over protectiveness or because it was I don't know.

Why you saw absolutely, but I don't think.

He paid Lane. I think it was more like, hey, can you come over and play games with yeah April while I'm at this weird date.

Yeah, maybe he just didn't want her to get bored or something, although I don't think April ever gets bored because she'll just read a book exactly. Oh, I don't know that was that was kind of weird, but it was, I mean it was good. That was the first time we got to schoo episode.

It was were we to assume she was sort of adjusting because she was adjusting her body because of the pregnancy.

That's what I thought. Yeah, I thought too odd, which was kind of odd but uncomfortable yet, but I don't know.

Yeah, daniel quiet jacket, that was noisy interrupting, Danielle, not you too.

Hot flash up in here. If anyone's wondering I'm having a hot flash, I'm I'm a joke. I got a full fan out, like this is just.

Okay, let's log through these last couple scenes. It is long and before we still have a bunch to go. Okay, so let's see where are It was.

Like, you know how, usually in an episode there's like one filler scene. This whole episode was filler scene. Yeah, so now we finally get to the date. Eventually, we finally get to the date.

We're at the restaurant, which, like the other restaurant, looks completely fake.

Totally vegan.

I got some chuckles out of that.

The I thought the scene was fun, like the Luke's reactions to them.

Yes, agree, good acting.

Do you want to do.

At your service?

Yes?

Good?

Good job on that. She was a little crazy she did that. That actress did a good job to you.

Yeah, she's kind of famous. We were trying to find her. She's sort famous.

That's always great when you have somebody to play off like that.

A cotette.

That sounds very for me.

Yeah, I think she is.

She was great. Yeah, yeah, but she is such great timing.

She played kind of nutty.

No, but the timing was impeccable. Yeah, that's why that scene hopped, you know.

Yeah, I don't know what I'd ordered a vegan restaurant, but I have been to what's that one that's so famous in La Madre something Madre?

Oh my god, Madre Madre.

Which I didn't even know is vegan.

It's totally good on the corner, right on the corner of walk and don't walk.

Okay, So I thought that they could have made the date scene longer and the other scenes like that.

Totally totally agree some of the Yeah, I like, I like the scenes with April the best in the whole thing. Yeah, I'm like the Scott and Kirk or Luke and Kirk and Luke and April were probably the highlights of the whole thing.

Yeah.

So then we go back to Yale it's at nighttime. Rory's still at the paper because her staff's all drunk and passed out, and Laurelai considers this a victory because now she won't be able to go out to dinner with Emily and Richard. And then Christopher's now feeling sorry for himself again because he didn't get to participate in Rory's growing up and more light. For some reason, he needs to console him and make him feel okay about

I promise try and do some sort of dance jig in a minute, because it get it. It's like, it's only okay.

And then they walk past the a cappella group singing Living on a Prayer.

Oh my god, that was a music. I was like, Oh, that worked me up. And I'm like, go von Jovi, who's all over the place right now, let's talk about this. I was today years old when I finally found out the truth that John bon Jovi and Richie Sambora did not have a fight that just one night in the middle of the night. This is according to many interviews now with bon Jovi, the band Richie just didn't want to do it anymore. Really hold them in the middle of the night. Tune into the documentary.

On bon Jovi.

Oh really, okay, Yeah, I know.

I always thought there was some sort of a falling out dramatic notes.

Some insight here. I think it's hard for people that are highly creative to keep playing the same material over and over and over and over.

Or being on the road. I think there's when you're.

Like, if you have a family, it's and they all have families, it's tough.

To be on the road.

I agree, because it's not like on the road. Yeah, think about you when you go to do Sullivan's Crossing brutal so.

Much so it is brutal.

You live in that weird place in a town you don't know.

It's a nice place, but it's like, right, and we're all alone in that town that I forgot the name of.

It, Halifax.

Yeah, I mean, listen, if you're going to be alone away from your family, Halifax is not a bit annie.

Look, if you're gonna be alone away from your family. It's nice to have Chad Michael Murray.

There, but still.

Mental call him any time he'll come down. Let me look at his hair that is announced.

He's a handsome devil.

He is handsome, great dude.

He really isn't super nice guy he is. But anyway, the road is tough, guys.

The road.

The road is tough when you're over thirty, which I am. Now you are, daniel Danielle, be quiet.

Much, just literally we have.

Okay. So we're back at the Dragonfly. The Sioux chefs love Sukie's Rata tweet rat rata twee. And then Jackson shows up and he's talking about his stinky feet, like really, I could have done without that.

I could have done without you know about that. It's just I don't want to.

I agree.

I was like, this is too much to bear. I don't it's not funny. What's going on?

Like they really couldn't have come up with any other dialogue for that scene that was so randomly weird. And then that's where she won't let him eat the food and she puts it in.

The scene and then I got uncomfortable and then it's so lucky. I ate twenty five chocolate chips before we started.

I really need to, because.

It's just like going on and on. Yeah, and nothing's bad, but nothing's good.

Right, Yeah, and then we see Luke coming home from his date. He's got to wake up Lane.

This was good.

That was sort of cute watching TV. And then he's like, I'm starved, I'm gonna eat this pizza.

That was cute.

That was cute.

So yeah, it was cute. Little no second last, I liked that scene. He's like April sitting on the couch next to him and he kind of like gives her the little punch.

Yeah that was cute. Yeah, yeah, it was cute.

I liked that.

Yeah, behavior, you got to find the behavior.

Yeah, there there were some good you know, Dad Luke in dad mode mullins.

And then he kind of Luke's the kind of thing was cute.

She's not Susan. She's gonna just be the coach for yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And then finally the final scene back at the freaking newsroom again, Christopher and Laurel I show up again.

I have no memory of this, literally, don't I tell neither.

Yeah.

They came in donuts and coffee and Christopher apologizes to Rory for getting drunk, and again she's like trying to make him feel better, because that's that's what we do now. I guess, and but now I did like this hook at the very end when Rory's like, well, I can't meet Richard and Emily for dinner, but I told them you guys were available, so I know, funny when they're like, oh crap, now we got to go eat dinner.

I literally don't have any memory of this.

I wish they would have filmed a scene having dinner with Richard and Emily because and Emily, yeah, that that could have.

Been funny both of us, did you.

Honestly, it's hard to remember this.

Yes, And then they they lean like they make Laurel. I put the donut down, and they leave, and then Rory stands. They're smiling, and then we fade to black.

That's like, I have no, it's a blank.

After the when when she put that doughnut down, I don't remember it her doing it, you said.

Because they had walked in with that big tray that had the coffee cups in it. Yeah, yeah, remember that donut on top of the coffee tray. Like she didn't even put it back in the box.

It was weird.

I didn't lose any golf balls today.

You had me at donuts. I was just totally off on my own about these donuts that I ate. Yesterday we had an event in Napa and they have warm doughnuts at the place at Carnas mini warm donuts.

Doughnuts.

Do not like it.

They do not like me.

You are you allergic to donuts? Or they just will eat them?

Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't control myself. I stay away from.

Krispy Kramer. A bit too sugary for me. I like sort of a less sweet doughnut, a little bit not quite so to sugar, right right.

Right right, just saying yeah. So that is that gonna wrap us up.

That is the end of the episode.

I literally don't have a best line. I don't even have it. That's going to be my lowest score. I think I've ever given.

Go ahead best line, the best line.

I can't even remember what the what the context was, but Kirk said something about when you're watching antiques road Show, you don't want someone tickling your arm.

Oh, the best scene in the whole thing was maybe the open.

I just disagree. There were so many, so much more to choose from. Danielle, what is your favorite line? Because there's so many to choose.

From, I know I mean a capella group. They living on a prayer.

I want to read you a line from the Gilmore Girl's Companion book.

Okay, the first.

Truly awful episode in a long long time. The double byeline only seems to confirm the feelings that this script was completed during the shoot, with the actors waiting for some sort of direction while the writers banged it out. And that comes from the Gilmore Girls Companion book.

That's a very astute of.

What's your favorite line?

I just simply don't have one. I mean, I like that opening scene. Here's what I liked about this episode. The opening scene clever. I thought we were in for a good That got me like, ooh, I do like everything with April at the apartment. I thought the diner stuff was a little forced, and I thought it was very sweet when Luke told Kirk, you know, do not in any way break up.

With this girl. Yeah.

Favorite line was and what's the girl of the girl on the date?

My date?

What was me?

A cochette coach?

Coach, coach Susan, Susan, coach Susan. She said psycho and then she screamed psycho. But then Luke pops his head around and as the same time says something like popcorn.

You know what I mean.

It was just one of these weird fun I.

Do have the speech. Listen, you, pinhead, you should be kissing the ground that Lulu walks on. Why that sweet girl lets you within one hundred miles of her is beyond me, but she does. You are the luckiest man on the planet. So you are the luckiest man on the planet to have a girl like that looking out for you and caring about you. And if you say so much as one unkind word to her, I will personally break every bone in your body.

You got me.

That was a great speech.

That was good, and that's what made him call the coach because yeah, yeah, Kirk was talking about, oh, you know, you haven't made No one.

Is waiting for you to come home. No one cares.

Back to that date.

All right, So what are we giving it? Uh, Danielle rate it? What's your measuring stick? We're a ten rat of.

I'm gonna give it. It was just right down the middle. I'm gonna give it a five Crean bulets sticks zimp name tags.

Uh.

I think I'm gonna split the baby and go four point five baby name tags in the middle of the chest.

I've never been more excited for pop culture.

That's gonna do it, everybody next week.

French Twist. French Twist. And I believe someone has already sent us a note saying, you are going to hate this episode.

That's that's gonna be. That's gonna be season seven episodes in French Twist. We will see you next time. Love you guys, thanks for downloading. Sorry, we couldn't be more positive about this, but we at least we had a good time. Anyway, Listen if you have if you get stressed out by an episode or anything in life, here's here's some tips do this.

Not listening.

But I.

Had some kind of a magical effect on this because we all had such a good time. Anyway, Uh, you're certainly.

I wanted to answer the question that we asked at the very very beginning about the TV show or the film Thank You, Thank You, so are intrepid. Jackie found out they were watching The House on Haunted Hill from nineteen fifty nine, and the line is, of all my wives, you are the least agreeable, but still alive.

Okay, some fans think that's intentional, and I probably agree, bring the.

Curtain down on this one. Stay safe everyone, Danielle, knock it off. You're making too much racket over there, anyway.

Should I stay with it?

And you'll like, I'm just trying to say awake over here.

This is this is a rough one for me. See you next time.

Oh god, Hey everybody, and don't forget.
