Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is twenty five yards.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, I would say about twenty five yards.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, But it's a soul cold here. Everywhere it's freezing.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
All the California right now is experiencing a little cold snap. Yes, yeah,
after after oceans of rain. But you're over there at
Warner Brothers. You're shooting your hit show Georgie and Mandy
on CBS. We're thrilled to have you. You're a big
(01:29):
Gilmore fan. We're going to get into it. Let's synopsize
here while visiting new Haven, Connecticut. Richard announces that he
has arranged a surprise visit an interview for Rory with
the dean of admissions at Yale University, not Harvard, but
at Yale. Oh, there's trouble in River City and the
(01:50):
sheriffs Laura l I and she's going to be putting
a hurting down on any violators. Jess and Rory start
to date, and this worries Luke. Director Steve Robman and
this very little known writer, up and coming writer name
or Amy Sherman Palladino. Are you guys aware of anything
(02:13):
she's done?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Me?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Definitely not.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
No, never anything else that she's done ever, No, Emmy's
no nothing, No.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Definitely no, okay, just one of the giants of the
entertainment industry. Before we get into it, Emily, what made
you start watching Gilmore Girls?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
That is an excellent question. Well, an answer you're probably
not expecting.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I think why I initially started watching Gilmore Girls is
because I wasn't allowed to growing up. It was a
show that was I was I'm thirty three now, so
when Gilmore Girls was really hitting it stride, I was
a little too still a little too young for it
and of course, was fascinated by the concept of this show.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
All my friends were watching it, and my parents were.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
A little protective of what we watched on television, and
it was something I could never watch until I was
in my probably early twenties, and I went through. I
went through all of it, and I fell in love
with it, and now, to be quite honest, probably every
year since then, I have gone through it again.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
It's required at this point, it's required of a girl.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
There's no question. There's no question. How many times would
you say, you know, because I've.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Done the math and I really am.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Let's see, it's probably like thousands of hours of Gilmore
Girls at this point, like probably spent like an entire year. Well,
let's think what you got five seasons right, without including
the that we're sad sorry, seven seasons without including the
four one hour episodes that aired recently. And then I
heard there's a documentary coming out, so we're just gonna
(03:53):
we're just adding to the watch our count at this point.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
But yeah, it's it's a lot a perfect show.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's a I'm just it's wonderful to sink in and
pull yourself out of whatever is going on in your
life and PLoP yourself down into Stars Hollow.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It does have that medicinal therapeutic vibe to it, doesn't it.
Absolutely Yeah, it's impossible not to feel better after viewing
just a couple of minutes of it, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, absolutely, I agree.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Wonderful show.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
So I have a question as somebody who's done a
lot of work at Warner Brothers and both young Sheldon
and Georgie and Mandy use the back lot. So is
it weird when you're watching Gilmour Girls and you like
remember having just been there, you know, last week to
shoot a scene.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It's I wouldn't say weird. I love it so much.
I have my I bring my dog to work and
I walk. I let Joe poop all over Stars Hollows.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But no, when I have like friends and family come visit,
we have We're a live audience show, so people.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Come and visit on Tuesday nights, and after.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The show is done, you know, we'll go out into
the back lot and of course there's the friends fountain
that's there.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
But I'm like, oh, come look at.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Stars Hollow, come over here, like we just came for
your show.
Speaker 3 (05:10):

Hollow Magic from our December eighteenth event that is the

(06:38):
you there? All right, let's get into the episode a
little bit. Rory comes over after school and she to
the diner that is, and she go upstairs to look
at a book. It's awkward and nervous. They almost kiss,
and who breaks in? They're nervous around each other because
it's finally happening between them. Yeah, but who busts in?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
You?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I do I come in and put a stop to
that nonsense?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Right, How would the timing work on that? Because it
was pretty good. Do you take your own queue or
was there somebody outside.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Being like, okay, go somebody else? Yeah? There, there's there
was somebody outside saying oh yeah, yeah, and they and
they are very good at that because we had to
do that a lot. Yeah, a lot of that in
the show. So it's always somebody queueing you. Very rare,
you know, sometimes you could take your own queue if
it was just a site line and you weren't going
to be you know, in camera range.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But sure, the timing is perfect on that show. I'm
sure there was a lot of that, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, yeah, obsessively. So they almost kiss, yeah, and Luke
gives him a little what for, you know, like what
he's he ain't gonna tolerate. Do you think, Emily that
Luke was a little over the top with that or
is that an appropriate amount of protective Luke for.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I love this moment for your character because it's kind
of the first time we've seen him had to be
stepping into a fatherly figure, and so it's sort of
like he's busting at the seams to sort of do
this for her. For Rory and the way that he's
shown up for her for so long as he feeds her,
you know, and how he gets to have this other
role which is really protecting her and as much as
(08:23):
it is about, you know, keeping everybody in line, I
think that really stems from he wants to protect Rory
and and.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I think my parents probably would have reacted the same way.
I think it's okay they don't listen to you.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
But what kind of a hard position for him though,
because he's protecting Rory from his own family member, So
it's kind of a weird little situation.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, he knows what kind of guy he is, and
he's worried about it and he's put in this position
where he feels like he has to put him up.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And yeah, you know, don't screw up this relationship with Rory,
and moreover, do not screw up my relationship with Laura.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Law exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I mean it's you know, well, Ory and Jests are
nervous around each other, and Emily, we know your team, Jess. Okay,
we get that, we got the memo.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Okay, yeah, what are.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Your thoughts when you first saw this episode?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Like finally, I think probably I think I was a
little and you know, no shade to anybody else, but
I think I was getting a little tired of the
way Dean would talk to Rory's very controlling of Rory.
He's clearly very jealous, and I think I was waiting
for a character that was kind of more on her same.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Intelligence level and height.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And I wanted to see somebody else come into the picture.
And I think Laura I even has like a line
in this that's like, you know, she's seventeen, it's about
time she had a which I think was is perfect
and I'm sure, yeah, it made me think about all
the justices in my life too. But the arc of
his character throughout the whole series is it grows so much,
(10:11):
it changes, And I think that's why I am team
Jess because at the end of the day, like he
fights for her, he believes in her, he pushes her,
And that's the kind of partner that you want to have,
even if they don't end up together. I think you
want somebody that's on that's on your side, right right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, If not romantically, at least a good close friend
who really knows you and can nail you and like
him you know, and say that and say the truth
without repercussions. Yeah, yes, I agree, I agree in that regard.
As a friend, yes, I would say I am team
(10:46):
Jess as well as a friend.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
As a friend, sure, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So we can agree on that, all right. Uh. Rory
asked Laura Lai to support her with Jess because Laura
I ain't digging the I d Rory gets back from
ye Out, she meets up with Jess, plants one on him,
and then she says she's gotta go.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, that gas pump scene.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Like stumbling to put this cigarette back in the pocket and.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Man, I tell you, yeah, and it's it's like hot
and heavy for a second, and then she's like, oh wait,
I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I know, but I love that because she goes to
sort of make sure it's right, because she's such a
good girl, like she wants to make sure, you know,
she's starting to really feel something. She's like, I got
to make sure I've got all my you know, my
t's crossed and my eyes got it before I really
get into this.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, there's a little nerve wracking pulling. He's pulling out
a cigarette next to a gas pump, and I was like,
please don't light that up. Just could have tragic consequences.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
A whole different show, Like that's not real.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, it's like it's like, you know the James Dean
barbecue roast, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, well you got er filming right next door, so
it would have been perfect.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Oh perfect, Yeah, brothers apartment, you.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Know, a couple of blocks down, calling George Clooney come
on and help us out over here. All right, let's uh,
let's get into a little bit of Luke and Jess
a little bit more anyway. Supportive of Rory and Jess.
(12:24):
He's finally getting together, but he doesn't really have any
clue how to handle it, so he just handles it
the way Luke handles it. He sets the ground rules,
Jess agrees to those ground rules, and Laurel I knows
how it is with teens, and is teasing Luke as
he squirms on how to deal with this situation. What
(12:48):
do you think do you trust Jess with Rory?
Speaker 5 (12:53):
I do?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I do, And I don't know whether that's just because
sometimes I have bad taste in men, but I do.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I do trust that. You know, he's it's it's gonna
be okay.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
There's something there's something about him that I think he
himself is also protective of her, and I think his
rebellion in some ways, as it does cross over into
their relationship occasionally, I think he's really just.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Trying to work it out for himself.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't think he would ever hurt her, But I
do love that moment at the diner where you guys
are talking about how I've given him a big, strong talk.
He's not gonna he's gonna stay away from her. They're
gonna be respectful, and she's like, really, because they're together.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Great stuff, really great stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
And then he tries to turn it around on Laura Lin, like,
how did you try that.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
How can you let them? She doesn't even have her sweater? Like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Right? Right? Right? Right?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Perfect?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I know those two they're wacky. Uh, all right, now
we're gonna deal with Richard and his little surprise. Guys, guys, yeah,
what do we think of Richard here? I mean, it's
not about taking sides, it's about seeing it from everybody's perspective.
(14:10):
And I can see it from his perspective. I can
see it from Laurelized perspective, which makes great drama, right,
It really does make great conflict. But inevitably, you know,
you want to kind of I don't know, there's there's
an impulse to say, well, he's being manipulative, right, and
laurelize over but Laurel lie overreacting. What is it? Emily?
(14:32):
How do you feel about this?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I have complicated emotions about this whole thing, because I
think I know that Richard and Emily are trying to
make sure that Rory is protected and that she's she's
getting everything she needs out of life, and that she
has every opportunity, and they're giving her all of that.
And and I think even the way that when it
turns out he's sort of set this whole thing up
(14:57):
for her to meet with the is a dean of
admission or something.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The whole reason they're they're so she can meet with
the demon missions. I love the way it's written that
Rory goes in there.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
She crushes it, but then she's like, you didn't let
me prepare. And the way she responds it's not rude
and it's not harsh.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's her reacting.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
From a place of like, I would have done this
for you if you had asked me to. And I
love the way that Emily protects her husband because you
can see all over her face he didn't tell her either,
and he sends the whole day being like, this is
where we kissed, and this is where I proposed, and
isn't this magical?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And then he just kind of shits all over it.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And I think his reaction to Laura I of like, well,
you know, you never went to college, you never went
to an ivy league school.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You don't know what you're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It's demeaning, but it's coming from a place that he
knows he's wrong, because why else would you respond in
that way unless you know that you kind of screwed
up the way this was supposed to go.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
So I think it's a really well written I thought
it was. I loved it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, and it just furthers the delta, the gulf between Yes,
Lorelei and.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Her family parents.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Right, it's very very very supple, let's let's call it
a very supple spine in this in this storytelling because
of that tension of them getting closer and closer and
maybe there's going to be a little love expressed between
the two sides. And it's always dash.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's something and it's both sides doing it wrong, and
they can't blame one party. It's both of them handling
every situation like if one side just gave a little bit,
you know, it would change everything. And know everybody is
so stubborn and they can't they can't find a middle ground.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But on the other hand, wasn't it very nice to
take a little trip down memory lane with Richard and
Emily about how they met, they kissed and like that.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
It was fun to get their backstory.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Do you remember where they where did they shoot Yale?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I don't know, but I think that's U s la
Is in.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
UCLA this episode we talked about this when we recorded
town meeting this episode Pomona College you out there? Yeah,
the Harvard visit in season one was UCLA.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Did you guys ever, guys ever go to Occidental College?
Do you remember? That's right, That's where I went to school.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
And every time I watch anything, I see campus because
it's a beautiful campus and a lot of people shoot there.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
They they may have in I think in season seven
when Lorelei and I forgot his name, Christopher, I blanked
on his name when they went to the parents' day,
that may have been.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It may have been Okay, yeah, I'm always always curious or.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
A usc it was one of those two, got it?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Well, it was just curious.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's very nice to find out a little backstory between
those two. It really was.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Yes, yeah, Emily was the other woman, Like, who knew?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I can see it right, I like it?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
So h you know. Laurel I adamantly defends Laurie Rory
demands that she is going to Harvard, no questions to ask.
They argue about it, as you mentioned, Emily, her Laurelize
lack of education comes up in the conversation, which, man,
(18:27):
what a low blow. What a low blow. But Richard,
I mean he's got the right intentions. It's hard to
really assign one hundred percent blame anywhere, but you know, man,
you get one shot at this thing. He isn't wrong,
he isn't wrong about what he's doing, but he's wrong
(18:51):
about the way he went about doing right well, anyway,
it just humanizes the character or even more, doesn't it.
You know, even Richard makes a little mistake. We're getting
into this closing scene where Rory goes to talk to
(19:11):
Dean by climbing up a tree and knocking on his window.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Something Rory's never done ever.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
C the tree, Okay, and this is after she met
up with Jess at the James Dean gas station pump
and she apologizes to Dean. And I just thought Jared
played this beautifully. He was just there was that kind
of shock and he was still pissed and he was
(19:40):
still hurt. But you could see he was kind of
like at at a certain stage in his grief where
he was like now it's.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Like anger, yeah, oh yeah, are you with him now?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Right? Right, He's still the wound is still a little
bit fresh, and man, he shuts the wind, no honor
he does.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That window is huge too. It's a big window. I
would have been crawling in and out of there everything.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You got a rooftop, you got a tree. Yeah, I
mean it's perfect. Yeah. What did you guys think of
that scene? Emily, what'd you think of that scene?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I liked it. I had questions.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I'm like, how did they not see her climbing up
the you know, logistical questions about how is she sitting on.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
There if nobody's hearing them talk? How did he not
tell his mom?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
You know, he's very close to his mother, right, but
it goes to show that he was too.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
He's still too hurt to even share it because he's embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And it's horrible that not only have they broken up,
but she's immediately sort of moved on and so and
it's a small town and everybody knows, and that's embarrassing.
But I think it kind of did bother me how
much she apologizes, because I don't really.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Know if she did anything wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You know, she's a teenager and it didn't end it
ended up not working out, but I think there were
a lot of things that would have forced them apart
had it not been Jess. So I think it's a
kind thing for her to do. It's always nice to
apologize when something ends. But I don't know if he if.
I think she said because he's hurt and she really
did love him, and it's a nice ending for the
audience to be like, Okay, you know, we don't hate her.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, that was a tough scene. Yeah, that was a
tough scene. That's a heartbreaking, wasn't it. It made me
it just my heart was breaking more for him.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Oh absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You know all all all young guys have been through that,
and it's yeah, it hurts, it hurts. It's deep pain,
deep deep, it's a deep burn. Anyway, Rory comes home
and Laura la I asked about the rest of her evening,
and they both go to bed reading about Yale.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I love that fun, real moment. It reminds me of
I remember which which episode it is.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's past this one, but or no, it's before it's
season two when Luke builds the hoopah for her and
they're both standing underneath it, and it's a nice little
homage to the future, and I think this is that
as well.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I love those moments that Amy does. I think they're great.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You think that Rory is moving on too soon after
her breakup with Dean. You think it's just too you know, jumping.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know, what's the I mean, everybody's got their own timeline.
I think there's also something to be said for being
seventeen when a month feels like a year.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And I think, you know, it's if it was a big.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Bustling town and there were a lot of boys running around. Maybe,
but there's like one other cute guy in that town.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
You know, there's not a lot of options.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
There's a lot of options like let let her move
on as fast as she wants, I think, And.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
I think she had already moved on, like she kind
of checked out of the Dean really he did.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Absolutely there, Yes, yes, I agree.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
No offense to the men of Stars Hollow.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Just no, no, no, no, they're just they're glad that
they've been mentioned every once in a while, they got
a line here and there, you know what I mean. Yeah,
they're not Emily. We really love the fact that you're
a true, true fan of the show. Yeah, what does
the show mean to you?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Oh, it's such a comfort to me.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
And I was just realizing something the other day. I
was telling this story about Frank Lloyd Wright and his
house burning down.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Because he was impolite to the people that worked for him.
And I couldn't remember why I.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Knew that story, and it was because girls that I
had heard it initially, and like, I've been to Falling Water,
you know, Frank Lloyd Wright Junior is all these houses
in Pasadena. You know, I am educated architecture, and like,
I know.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It because of this show.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
And there's been so many moments like that in my
life where you know, the the cultural references that are
made on this show are just so thick and I
would watch an episode and be like, I actually don't
know who that is and I would look something up.
So for me, it was it was easy watching, but
also it sort of ticked a part of my brain
that because it was shot in you know, I don't
(24:27):
know what was you said two thousand and two. When
did you guys start two thousand and two? Two thousand Yeah,
So I mean there's things that A referenced from like
oh yeah, yeah, a lot of Bush references.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, that's what year it was.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Did you watching the show influence your your career in
any way? Were you already kind of on your way
and your career.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It made me I was already working at that point,
but I think watching it, you know, because I watched
it and I really twenties, it just made me feel
sad that I didn't go away to school, like go
away to a big school. And I grew up in
LA and I wanted to stay in LA to work,
and so my options for college were not as large.
(25:13):
And I always wanted to go to an East Coast school.
And I think that was probably because I saw it
on TV all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Gotcha, gotcha? Now, which character on the show did you
relate to the most?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Net Well, it changes, okay, because let's see, as.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
A woman in my early thirties, I'd have to say
probably Emily.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I think she's a little no nonsense.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I think she's has her opinions and she's often right,
but she sort of doesn't do them all correctly. But
I think she's a fascinating character. I really I love
I love that character. Everyone else in my life would
probably say Laura Alive.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
But sure, yeah, I don't think anybody had more I
don't think an actress had more fun with a part
than Oh god, A history of TV in her. Yeah,
and Lauren just had a blast every day getting to
do those lines. You know. Yeah, Okay, let's go back
(26:17):
to two thousand. But you're the age you are now, okay, okay, okay.
You go to a Gilmore audition and you're you have
a choice to be cast as one of the characters
in the show. Who would it be?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Oh, Paris Killer. Absolutely, that is the most righteous character
she is. It's just such a very interesting, very well done,
very angry character, and it's.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
So I love love that character.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, yes, well, okay, with your quite extensive career in television,
that's growing and growing and growing. When you watch a
show like gilmour is it with a different eye, because
you know what takes to write a good TV show.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I think, whether I realize it or not, every time
I watch a show for some reason, I'm like, well,
what time did they shoot that? You know, they're playing
that for Sunrise, but kind of looks like something, you know,
I kind of take myself out of it a little bit,
and I think, because I've worked at Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
For the past oh gosh, what.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
The helld am I probably ten years or so, you know,
maybe longer that actually my first job was one of
my first jobs at Warner Brothers was an episode of Friends.
So I've been at Warner Brothers for a long time
and working here and going home and then watching Gilmore Girls.
It's like I never leave work a little bit, which
(27:44):
probably isn't good for my mental health. But yeah, I
mean watching that show, you realize, God, you guys must
have just studied your lines forever, forever and ever. It's
so many words. And I have a lot of respect
for that because the show that I work on, you know,
we move really quickly, but it doesn't change all that
much throughout the week. And your we're your scripts were
(28:06):
what one hundred one hundred and something pages.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know, they were eighty eighty eighty plus of just
like solid.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Solid dialogue.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It's so much and we're about forty forty to forty
to forty five, you know, So it's it's half of
what you guys have.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You're doing a multi multi camp.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
It's a multicam.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh what a joy.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
It's wonderful. It's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I need to rehearse, rehearse.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I know. Did you guys do did you table reads
at all? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Oh sure, Oh you did Oh, that's very helpful.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
At least you have that.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
But yeah, it's it's it's a lot and you're outside
and then you're inside and you're shooting it sixty different ways,
and it's it's a single cam.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Is a lot of work. So I have a lot
of respect for that.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
We did a lot of it. Boy, you're in a
great situation.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Boy, you get to very grateful.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, that is so great. They weren't doing a lot
of those. This is they're not doing a lot of
those anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
No, And I'm I'm you know, I worked for Chuck
Lorie Enterprises, so he's kind of he's got his finger
on the multiicam pulls for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
So if you're going to do one, he'd be the
guy to do it with you.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
He's incredible. This is my fifth show with him, and.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
He's he's amazing and he's keeping me employed.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
It's nice. So grateful, all.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Right, So let's talk about Georgie and Mandy's first marriage.
It's airing its second season right now on CBS. What's
your favorite thing about filming and being part of this cast.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I love this cast so much.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You know a lot of these characters came over from
Young Sheldon, which this is you know, uh, sort of
in the same timeline as Young Sheldon. So we have
a closeness that I don't know if we would have
had if we just started fresh on the pilot with
nobody knowing each other. I'd known Montana Jordan, who plays Georgie,
my husband. I've known Montana for I think we did
(30:03):
the Math like five years now, and two of those
have been here. And it's easy. It's easy when you
like each other. It's easy when the hours are nice,
and it's easy when it's really well written and you
can remember it better when it's well written. I've always
found if you can't remember a line, it's probably not
(30:23):
written very well. And it's just such a joy. Everybody
gets along so well. Everybody brings their little dogs to work,
and we're just it really is a family.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
And it's not just the cast.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean this crew came over from Young Sheldon as well,
and we all know each other really well. And we
get to do a live audience every Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Are you film on Tuesday nights?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
We've film on Tuesday nights, which I've only ever done
Friday night shows for live for MULTIICAM and At first,
I was like, oh, man, I'm gonna forget it over
the weekend. And then I realized, oh, if you're a
Tuesday night show, you're out of work at two pm
on Friday, you can like actually have a weekend, which.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I've never ever had before. So I'm like, I'm taking trips,
I'm going out. It's like, it's incredible. I've never been
able to do that when.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I because you're filming Friday night, you're not out there.
You're out there one am or something like that.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Actually you'll be Our shows are only about an hour
and a half.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
What yeah, yeah, actually last night last night we got
out at eight eleven six.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Come on, yeah, we're it's it's short, We're quick.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
How are you doing it that?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
We're really good? It's wow, We're like seamless. It's it's
such a well oiled machine.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And that's not just us, you know, that's our that's
our crew on stage, that's everybody.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
We just they move so quick.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
We got an Emmy winning camera crew working here from
Big Bankery.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
It's like it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And so the audience, you're always getting those initial reactions
that are makeing the final cut, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Making the final cut, and then also helping you decide,
you know, a joke you've done a thousand times during rehearsal,
some guy in the back laughs in a place you're
not used to, and it completely changes the way you
deliver it.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
And it's it's you know, it's theater. It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Oh, it's so good. I love that.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
I have a question speaking about Young Sheldon. So, Lance
Barber was in two episodes of Gilbert Hibbles. So have
you ever like talked about that with him or Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I actually I've talked more about his time on It's
Always Sunny because I think his character, It's Always Sonny,
is such a riot.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
But yeah, he was because he plays ror. He plays
the reporter that works for.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
It's like an online yeah, which was really new back then,
the website that he wants her to write for or something.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
And he was also in the season one episode too
is a Random Guy?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Was he really? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:56):
He in the fashion show episode. He's the guy fixing
the stage.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
No way, So they just brought him back as they
liked him and gave him or that that character is
not the same character different.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
It was like six years apart, So I yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Maybe a different guy.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
But yeah, I've heard some stories about how the Kirk
character became Kirk and.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
That's just the wildest story. And television that somebody that
comes in for one thing is the series regular after
the first season. Ye amazing.

I am about probably twenty five yards from Luke Steyn
right now, which.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is twenty five yards.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, I would say about twenty five yards.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, But it's a soul cold here. Everywhere it's freezing.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
All the California right now is experiencing a little cold snap. Yes, yeah,
after after oceans of rain. But you're over there at
Warner Brothers. You're shooting your hit show Georgie and Mandy
on CBS. We're thrilled to have you. You're a big
(01:29):
Gilmore fan. We're going to get into it. Let's synopsize
here while visiting new Haven, Connecticut. Richard announces that he
has arranged a surprise visit an interview for Rory with
the dean of admissions at Yale University, not Harvard, but
at Yale. Oh, there's trouble in River City and the
(01:50):
sheriffs Laura l I and she's going to be putting
a hurting down on any violators. Jess and Rory start
to date, and this worries Luke. Director Steve Robman and
this very little known writer, up and coming writer name
or Amy Sherman Palladino. Are you guys aware of anything
(02:13):
she's done?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Me?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Definitely not.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
No, never anything else that she's done ever, No, Emmy's
no nothing, No.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Definitely no, okay, just one of the giants of the
entertainment industry. Before we get into it, Emily, what made
you start watching Gilmore Girls?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
That is an excellent question. Well, an answer you're probably
not expecting.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I think why I initially started watching Gilmore Girls is
because I wasn't allowed to growing up. It was a
show that was I was I'm thirty three now, so
when Gilmore Girls was really hitting it stride, I was
a little too still a little too young for it
and of course, was fascinated by the concept of this show.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
All my friends were watching it, and my parents were.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
A little protective of what we watched on television, and
it was something I could never watch until I was
in my probably early twenties, and I went through. I
went through all of it, and I fell in love
with it, and now, to be quite honest, probably every
year since then, I have gone through it again.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
It's required at this point, it's required of a girl.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
There's no question. There's no question. How many times would
you say, you know, because I've.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Done the math and I really am.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Let's see, it's probably like thousands of hours of Gilmore
Girls at this point, like probably spent like an entire year. Well,
let's think what you got five seasons right, without including
the that we're sad sorry, seven seasons without including the
four one hour episodes that aired recently. And then I
heard there's a documentary coming out, so we're just gonna
(03:53):
we're just adding to the watch our count at this point.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
But yeah, it's it's a lot a perfect show.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's a I'm just it's wonderful to sink in and
pull yourself out of whatever is going on in your
life and PLoP yourself down into Stars Hollow.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It does have that medicinal therapeutic vibe to it, doesn't it.
Absolutely Yeah, it's impossible not to feel better after viewing
just a couple of minutes of it, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, absolutely, I agree.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Wonderful show.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
So I have a question as somebody who's done a
lot of work at Warner Brothers and both young Sheldon
and Georgie and Mandy use the back lot. So is
it weird when you're watching Gilmour Girls and you like
remember having just been there, you know, last week to
shoot a scene.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It's I wouldn't say weird. I love it so much.
I have my I bring my dog to work and
I walk. I let Joe poop all over Stars Hollows.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But no, when I have like friends and family come visit,
we have We're a live audience show, so people.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Come and visit on Tuesday nights, and after.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The show is done, you know, we'll go out into
the back lot and of course there's the friends fountain
that's there.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
But I'm like, oh, come look at.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Stars Hollow, come over here, like we just came for
your show.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I'm like but you get this too.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
All right awesome, And before we get to into the recap,
remember to grab your tickets to Holidays Made here on
December eighteenth with the one and only Matt Zukri. That's right,

if you can't make it in person and you want

at five pm Pacific, and I think that's going to

go for a week. That stream will be available for
a week. For tickets, visit veeps dot Events backslash, I
am all in and you can watch all the Stars
Hollow Magic from our December eighteenth event that is the
ee PS dot events backslash, I am all in, see
(06:38):
you there? All right, let's get into the episode a
little bit. Rory comes over after school and she to
the diner that is, and she go upstairs to look
at a book. It's awkward and nervous. They almost kiss,
and who breaks in? They're nervous around each other because
it's finally happening between them. Yeah, but who busts in?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
You?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I do I come in and put a stop to
that nonsense?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Right, How would the timing work on that? Because it
was pretty good. Do you take your own queue or
was there somebody outside.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Being like, okay, go somebody else? Yeah? There, there's there
was somebody outside saying oh yeah, yeah, and they and
they are very good at that because we had to
do that a lot. Yeah, a lot of that in
the show. So it's always somebody queueing you. Very rare,
you know, sometimes you could take your own queue if
it was just a site line and you weren't going
to be you know, in camera range.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But sure, the timing is perfect on that show. I'm
sure there was a lot of that, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, yeah, obsessively. So they almost kiss, yeah, and Luke
gives him a little what for, you know, like what
he's he ain't gonna tolerate. Do you think, Emily that
Luke was a little over the top with that or
is that an appropriate amount of protective Luke for.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I love this moment for your character because it's kind
of the first time we've seen him had to be
stepping into a fatherly figure, and so it's sort of
like he's busting at the seams to sort of do
this for her. For Rory and the way that he's
shown up for her for so long as he feeds her,
you know, and how he gets to have this other
role which is really protecting her and as much as
(08:23):
it is about, you know, keeping everybody in line, I
think that really stems from he wants to protect Rory
and and.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I think my parents probably would have reacted the same way.
I think it's okay they don't listen to you.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
But what kind of a hard position for him though,
because he's protecting Rory from his own family member, So
it's kind of a weird little situation.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, he knows what kind of guy he is, and
he's worried about it and he's put in this position
where he feels like he has to put him up.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And yeah, you know, don't screw up this relationship with Rory,
and moreover, do not screw up my relationship with Laura.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Law exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I mean it's you know, well, Ory and Jests are
nervous around each other, and Emily, we know your team, Jess. Okay,
we get that, we got the memo.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Okay, yeah, what are.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Your thoughts when you first saw this episode?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Like finally, I think probably I think I was a
little and you know, no shade to anybody else, but
I think I was getting a little tired of the
way Dean would talk to Rory's very controlling of Rory.
He's clearly very jealous, and I think I was waiting
for a character that was kind of more on her same.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Intelligence level and height.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And I wanted to see somebody else come into the picture.
And I think Laura I even has like a line
in this that's like, you know, she's seventeen, it's about
time she had a which I think was is perfect
and I'm sure, yeah, it made me think about all
the justices in my life too. But the arc of
his character throughout the whole series is it grows so much,
(10:11):
it changes, And I think that's why I am team
Jess because at the end of the day, like he
fights for her, he believes in her, he pushes her,
And that's the kind of partner that you want to have,
even if they don't end up together. I think you
want somebody that's on that's on your side, right right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, If not romantically, at least a good close friend
who really knows you and can nail you and like
him you know, and say that and say the truth
without repercussions. Yeah, yes, I agree, I agree in that regard.
As a friend, yes, I would say I am team
(10:46):
Jess as well as a friend.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
As a friend, sure, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So we can agree on that, all right. Uh. Rory
asked Laura Lai to support her with Jess because Laura
I ain't digging the I d Rory gets back from
ye Out, she meets up with Jess, plants one on him,
and then she says she's gotta go.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, that gas pump scene.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Like stumbling to put this cigarette back in the pocket and.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Man, I tell you, yeah, and it's it's like hot
and heavy for a second, and then she's like, oh wait,
I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I know, but I love that because she goes to
sort of make sure it's right, because she's such a
good girl, like she wants to make sure, you know,
she's starting to really feel something. She's like, I got
to make sure I've got all my you know, my
t's crossed and my eyes got it before I really
get into this.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, there's a little nerve wracking pulling. He's pulling out
a cigarette next to a gas pump, and I was like,
please don't light that up. Just could have tragic consequences.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
A whole different show, Like that's not real.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, it's like it's like, you know the James Dean
barbecue roast, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, well you got er filming right next door, so
it would have been perfect.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Oh perfect, Yeah, brothers apartment, you.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Know, a couple of blocks down, calling George Clooney come
on and help us out over here. All right, let's uh,
let's get into a little bit of Luke and Jess
a little bit more anyway. Supportive of Rory and Jess.
(12:24):
He's finally getting together, but he doesn't really have any
clue how to handle it, so he just handles it
the way Luke handles it. He sets the ground rules,
Jess agrees to those ground rules, and Laurel I knows
how it is with teens, and is teasing Luke as
he squirms on how to deal with this situation. What
(12:48):
do you think do you trust Jess with Rory?
Speaker 5 (12:53):
I do?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I do, And I don't know whether that's just because
sometimes I have bad taste in men, but I do.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I do trust that. You know, he's it's it's gonna
be okay.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
There's something there's something about him that I think he
himself is also protective of her, and I think his
rebellion in some ways, as it does cross over into
their relationship occasionally, I think he's really just.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Trying to work it out for himself.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't think he would ever hurt her, But I
do love that moment at the diner where you guys
are talking about how I've given him a big, strong talk.
He's not gonna he's gonna stay away from her. They're
gonna be respectful, and she's like, really, because they're together.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Great stuff, really great stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
And then he tries to turn it around on Laura Lin, like,
how did you try that.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
How can you let them? She doesn't even have her sweater? Like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Right? Right? Right? Right?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Perfect?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I know those two they're wacky. Uh, all right, now
we're gonna deal with Richard and his little surprise. Guys, guys, yeah,
what do we think of Richard here? I mean, it's
not about taking sides, it's about seeing it from everybody's perspective.
(14:10):
And I can see it from his perspective. I can
see it from Laurelized perspective, which makes great drama, right,
It really does make great conflict. But inevitably, you know,
you want to kind of I don't know, there's there's
an impulse to say, well, he's being manipulative, right, and
laurelize over but Laurel lie overreacting. What is it? Emily?
(14:32):
How do you feel about this?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I have complicated emotions about this whole thing, because I
think I know that Richard and Emily are trying to
make sure that Rory is protected and that she's she's
getting everything she needs out of life, and that she
has every opportunity, and they're giving her all of that.
And and I think even the way that when it
turns out he's sort of set this whole thing up
(14:57):
for her to meet with the is a dean of
admission or something.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The whole reason they're they're so she can meet with
the demon missions. I love the way it's written that
Rory goes in there.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
She crushes it, but then she's like, you didn't let
me prepare. And the way she responds it's not rude
and it's not harsh.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's her reacting.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
From a place of like, I would have done this
for you if you had asked me to. And I
love the way that Emily protects her husband because you
can see all over her face he didn't tell her either,
and he sends the whole day being like, this is
where we kissed, and this is where I proposed, and
isn't this magical?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And then he just kind of shits all over it.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And I think his reaction to Laura I of like, well,
you know, you never went to college, you never went
to an ivy league school.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You don't know what you're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It's demeaning, but it's coming from a place that he
knows he's wrong, because why else would you respond in
that way unless you know that you kind of screwed
up the way this was supposed to go.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
So I think it's a really well written I thought
it was. I loved it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, and it just furthers the delta, the gulf between Yes,
Lorelei and.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Her family parents.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Right, it's very very very supple, let's let's call it
a very supple spine in this in this storytelling because
of that tension of them getting closer and closer and
maybe there's going to be a little love expressed between
the two sides. And it's always dash.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's something and it's both sides doing it wrong, and
they can't blame one party. It's both of them handling
every situation like if one side just gave a little bit,
you know, it would change everything. And know everybody is
so stubborn and they can't they can't find a middle ground.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But on the other hand, wasn't it very nice to
take a little trip down memory lane with Richard and
Emily about how they met, they kissed and like that.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
It was fun to get their backstory.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Do you remember where they where did they shoot Yale?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I don't know, but I think that's U s la
Is in.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
UCLA this episode we talked about this when we recorded
town meeting this episode Pomona College you out there? Yeah,
the Harvard visit in season one was UCLA.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Did you guys ever, guys ever go to Occidental College?
Do you remember? That's right, That's where I went to school.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
And every time I watch anything, I see campus because
it's a beautiful campus and a lot of people shoot there.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
They they may have in I think in season seven
when Lorelei and I forgot his name, Christopher, I blanked
on his name when they went to the parents' day,
that may have been.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It may have been Okay, yeah, I'm always always curious or.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
A usc it was one of those two, got it?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Well, it was just curious.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's very nice to find out a little backstory between
those two. It really was.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Yes, yeah, Emily was the other woman, Like, who knew?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I can see it right, I like it?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
So h you know. Laurel I adamantly defends Laurie Rory
demands that she is going to Harvard, no questions to ask.
They argue about it, as you mentioned, Emily, her Laurelize
lack of education comes up in the conversation, which, man,
(18:27):
what a low blow. What a low blow. But Richard,
I mean he's got the right intentions. It's hard to
really assign one hundred percent blame anywhere, but you know, man,
you get one shot at this thing. He isn't wrong,
he isn't wrong about what he's doing, but he's wrong
(18:51):
about the way he went about doing right well, anyway,
it just humanizes the character or even more, doesn't it.
You know, even Richard makes a little mistake. We're getting
into this closing scene where Rory goes to talk to
(19:11):
Dean by climbing up a tree and knocking on his window.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Something Rory's never done ever.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
C the tree, Okay, and this is after she met
up with Jess at the James Dean gas station pump
and she apologizes to Dean. And I just thought Jared
played this beautifully. He was just there was that kind
of shock and he was still pissed and he was
(19:40):
still hurt. But you could see he was kind of
like at at a certain stage in his grief where
he was like now it's.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Like anger, yeah, oh yeah, are you with him now?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Right? Right, He's still the wound is still a little
bit fresh, and man, he shuts the wind, no honor
he does.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That window is huge too. It's a big window. I
would have been crawling in and out of there everything.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You got a rooftop, you got a tree. Yeah, I
mean it's perfect. Yeah. What did you guys think of
that scene? Emily, what'd you think of that scene?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I liked it. I had questions.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I'm like, how did they not see her climbing up
the you know, logistical questions about how is she sitting on.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
There if nobody's hearing them talk? How did he not
tell his mom?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
You know, he's very close to his mother, right, but
it goes to show that he was too.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
He's still too hurt to even share it because he's embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And it's horrible that not only have they broken up,
but she's immediately sort of moved on and so and
it's a small town and everybody knows, and that's embarrassing.
But I think it kind of did bother me how
much she apologizes, because I don't really.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Know if she did anything wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You know, she's a teenager and it didn't end it
ended up not working out, but I think there were
a lot of things that would have forced them apart
had it not been Jess. So I think it's a
kind thing for her to do. It's always nice to
apologize when something ends. But I don't know if he if.
I think she said because he's hurt and she really
did love him, and it's a nice ending for the
audience to be like, Okay, you know, we don't hate her.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, that was a tough scene. Yeah, that was a
tough scene. That's a heartbreaking, wasn't it. It made me
it just my heart was breaking more for him.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Oh absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You know all all all young guys have been through that,
and it's yeah, it hurts, it hurts. It's deep pain,
deep deep, it's a deep burn. Anyway, Rory comes home
and Laura la I asked about the rest of her evening,
and they both go to bed reading about Yale.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I love that fun, real moment. It reminds me of
I remember which which episode it is.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's past this one, but or no, it's before it's
season two when Luke builds the hoopah for her and
they're both standing underneath it, and it's a nice little
homage to the future, and I think this is that
as well.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I love those moments that Amy does. I think they're great.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You think that Rory is moving on too soon after
her breakup with Dean. You think it's just too you know, jumping.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know, what's the I mean, everybody's got their own timeline.
I think there's also something to be said for being
seventeen when a month feels like a year.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And I think, you know, it's if it was a big.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Bustling town and there were a lot of boys running around. Maybe,
but there's like one other cute guy in that town.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
You know, there's not a lot of options.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
There's a lot of options like let let her move
on as fast as she wants, I think, And.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
I think she had already moved on, like she kind
of checked out of the Dean really he did.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Absolutely there, Yes, yes, I agree.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
No offense to the men of Stars Hollow.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Just no, no, no, no, they're just they're glad that
they've been mentioned every once in a while, they got
a line here and there, you know what I mean. Yeah,
they're not Emily. We really love the fact that you're
a true, true fan of the show. Yeah, what does
the show mean to you?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Oh, it's such a comfort to me.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
And I was just realizing something the other day. I
was telling this story about Frank Lloyd Wright and his
house burning down.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Because he was impolite to the people that worked for him.
And I couldn't remember why I.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Knew that story, and it was because girls that I
had heard it initially, and like, I've been to Falling Water,
you know, Frank Lloyd Wright Junior is all these houses
in Pasadena. You know, I am educated architecture, and like,
I know.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It because of this show.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
And there's been so many moments like that in my
life where you know, the the cultural references that are
made on this show are just so thick and I
would watch an episode and be like, I actually don't
know who that is and I would look something up.
So for me, it was it was easy watching, but
also it sort of ticked a part of my brain
that because it was shot in you know, I don't
(24:27):
know what was you said two thousand and two. When
did you guys start two thousand and two? Two thousand Yeah,
So I mean there's things that A referenced from like
oh yeah, yeah, a lot of Bush references.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, that's what year it was.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Did you watching the show influence your your career in
any way? Were you already kind of on your way
and your career.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It made me I was already working at that point,
but I think watching it, you know, because I watched
it and I really twenties, it just made me feel
sad that I didn't go away to school, like go
away to a big school. And I grew up in
LA and I wanted to stay in LA to work,
and so my options for college were not as large.
(25:13):
And I always wanted to go to an East Coast school.
And I think that was probably because I saw it
on TV all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Gotcha, gotcha? Now, which character on the show did you
relate to the most?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Net Well, it changes, okay, because let's see, as.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
A woman in my early thirties, I'd have to say
probably Emily.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I think she's a little no nonsense.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I think she's has her opinions and she's often right,
but she sort of doesn't do them all correctly. But
I think she's a fascinating character. I really I love
I love that character. Everyone else in my life would
probably say Laura Alive.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
But sure, yeah, I don't think anybody had more I
don't think an actress had more fun with a part
than Oh god, A history of TV in her. Yeah,
and Lauren just had a blast every day getting to
do those lines. You know. Yeah, Okay, let's go back
(26:17):
to two thousand. But you're the age you are now, okay, okay, okay.
You go to a Gilmore audition and you're you have
a choice to be cast as one of the characters
in the show. Who would it be?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Oh, Paris Killer. Absolutely, that is the most righteous character
she is. It's just such a very interesting, very well done,
very angry character, and it's.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
So I love love that character.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, yes, well, okay, with your quite extensive career in television,
that's growing and growing and growing. When you watch a
show like gilmour is it with a different eye, because
you know what takes to write a good TV show.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I think, whether I realize it or not, every time
I watch a show for some reason, I'm like, well,
what time did they shoot that? You know, they're playing
that for Sunrise, but kind of looks like something, you know,
I kind of take myself out of it a little bit,
and I think, because I've worked at Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
For the past oh gosh, what.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
The helld am I probably ten years or so, you know,
maybe longer that actually my first job was one of
my first jobs at Warner Brothers was an episode of Friends.
So I've been at Warner Brothers for a long time
and working here and going home and then watching Gilmore Girls.
It's like I never leave work a little bit, which
(27:44):
probably isn't good for my mental health. But yeah, I
mean watching that show, you realize, God, you guys must
have just studied your lines forever, forever and ever. It's
so many words. And I have a lot of respect
for that because the show that I work on, you know,
we move really quickly, but it doesn't change all that
much throughout the week. And your we're your scripts were
(28:06):
what one hundred one hundred and something pages.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know, they were eighty eighty eighty plus of just
like solid.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Solid dialogue.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It's so much and we're about forty forty to forty
to forty five, you know, So it's it's half of
what you guys have.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You're doing a multi multi camp.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
It's a multicam.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh what a joy.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
It's wonderful. It's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I need to rehearse, rehearse.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I know. Did you guys do did you table reads
at all? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Oh sure, Oh you did Oh, that's very helpful.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
At least you have that.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
But yeah, it's it's it's a lot and you're outside
and then you're inside and you're shooting it sixty different ways,
and it's it's a single cam.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Is a lot of work. So I have a lot
of respect for that.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
We did a lot of it. Boy, you're in a
great situation.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Boy, you get to very grateful.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, that is so great. They weren't doing a lot
of those. This is they're not doing a lot of
those anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
No, And I'm I'm you know, I worked for Chuck
Lorie Enterprises, so he's kind of he's got his finger
on the multiicam pulls for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
So if you're going to do one, he'd be the
guy to do it with you.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
He's incredible. This is my fifth show with him, and.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
He's he's amazing and he's keeping me employed.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
It's nice. So grateful, all.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Right, So let's talk about Georgie and Mandy's first marriage.
It's airing its second season right now on CBS. What's
your favorite thing about filming and being part of this cast.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I love this cast so much.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You know a lot of these characters came over from
Young Sheldon, which this is you know, uh, sort of
in the same timeline as Young Sheldon. So we have
a closeness that I don't know if we would have
had if we just started fresh on the pilot with
nobody knowing each other. I'd known Montana Jordan, who plays Georgie,
my husband. I've known Montana for I think we did
(30:03):
the Math like five years now, and two of those
have been here. And it's easy. It's easy when you
like each other. It's easy when the hours are nice,
and it's easy when it's really well written and you
can remember it better when it's well written. I've always
found if you can't remember a line, it's probably not
(30:23):
written very well. And it's just such a joy. Everybody
gets along so well. Everybody brings their little dogs to work,
and we're just it really is a family.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
And it's not just the cast.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean this crew came over from Young Sheldon as well,
and we all know each other really well. And we
get to do a live audience every Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Are you film on Tuesday nights?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
We've film on Tuesday nights, which I've only ever done
Friday night shows for live for MULTIICAM and At first,
I was like, oh, man, I'm gonna forget it over
the weekend. And then I realized, oh, if you're a
Tuesday night show, you're out of work at two pm
on Friday, you can like actually have a weekend, which.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I've never ever had before. So I'm like, I'm taking trips,
I'm going out. It's like, it's incredible. I've never been
able to do that when.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I because you're filming Friday night, you're not out there.
You're out there one am or something like that.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Actually you'll be Our shows are only about an hour
and a half.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
What yeah, yeah, actually last night last night we got
out at eight eleven six.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Come on, yeah, we're it's it's short, We're quick.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
How are you doing it that?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
We're really good? It's wow, We're like seamless. It's it's
such a well oiled machine.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And that's not just us, you know, that's our that's
our crew on stage, that's everybody.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
We just they move so quick.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
We got an Emmy winning camera crew working here from
Big Bankery.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
It's like it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And so the audience, you're always getting those initial reactions
that are makeing the final cut, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Making the final cut, and then also helping you decide,
you know, a joke you've done a thousand times during rehearsal,
some guy in the back laughs in a place you're
not used to, and it completely changes the way you
deliver it.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
And it's it's you know, it's theater. It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Oh, it's so good. I love that.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
I have a question speaking about Young Sheldon. So, Lance
Barber was in two episodes of Gilbert Hibbles. So have
you ever like talked about that with him or Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I actually I've talked more about his time on It's
Always Sunny because I think his character, It's Always Sonny,
is such a riot.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
But yeah, he was because he plays ror. He plays
the reporter that works for.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
It's like an online yeah, which was really new back then,
the website that he wants her to write for or something.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
And he was also in the season one episode too
is a Random Guy?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Was he really? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:56):
He in the fashion show episode. He's the guy fixing
the stage.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
No way, So they just brought him back as they
liked him and gave him or that that character is
not the same character different.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
It was like six years apart, So I yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Maybe a different guy.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
But yeah, I've heard some stories about how the Kirk
character became Kirk and.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
That's just the wildest story. And television that somebody that
comes in for one thing is the series regular after
the first season. Ye amazing.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
