I've been working on it and I have some voice

night on perfecting my kind of like radio voice.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Your your podcast radio voice is most excellent. Or I
have a bit of a cold, either one, or you've
smoked a pack of cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I don't know, no, not that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oh no, I just saw you in an Instagram post
where you were at the gym getting back into shape,
getting very impressed, you know, when you're on the road.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I was in Raleigh Galaxy Con Raleigh, uh since last Wednesday.
Got back late late, you know, in the am Sunday morning,
and you know, it's it's thrilling to meet all the fans.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's it's it's really great.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But you can't, you know, you get off your workout
routine and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So I had to run back into the gym.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And yeah, rebuild, rebuild.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
What I told down.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I'm glad that you have a rebuilding and taking photos
and then yourself getting those likes.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
That sounds silly, but the clothes are going to stay on,
all right.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'm not going on that far. I'm just not you know,
I'm not gonna. I don't. I'm not the guy in
the gym that lifts the shirt and I'm gonna get
to that point and then I'm gonna start.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I'm not gonna do it. Okay, Okay, I don't want
to be that guy. There's too many people doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, just just a little flex was good enough.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Here's a little synopsis anyway, gosh, I don't even credit.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Writer director.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
This is directed by Kevin Dowling and written by Linda
Louis cell Music and it aired April twenty third, two
thousand and two.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Boy that was a long time ago. Synopsis.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Roy needs a mentor for a group of business project
at school, so she.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Has to retired grandfather Richard to help out. At first,
he's hesitant, but eventually gets a little too involved in
the endeavor.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
He'll so begins to realize that retired life might not
be for him. Okay, So now we're at Rory's economics
project at the beginning along with the group has to
pitch a consumer product to present to the fair for
her econ class. Group needs parent business advisor, so she
has Laurela I, and Laurel I suggested Richard. Richard says no,
(04:24):
he wants to fix his car and gets sprayed with grease.
And then Emily you know.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Gets up his butt a little bit and says, dude,
you know he help your granddaughter, what's your pat wake up?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
She smacks him around a little bit in the driveway,
and Paris pitches this stylish first aid kit made specifically
for the modern teenager. All right, so James Emily practically
forces Richard into agree to be Roy's advisors. Why do
you think he was so hesitant first?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I don't know. But this episode is fantastic actually, because
it really showcases so many care I mean, it goes
from Emily's relationship to Rory's too. I mean there's a
ending that is to die for, like a sucker punch
with Dean. So this episode is a good shot. So,
(05:14):
but it does start out I don't know why he's hesitant,
but I do know that it starts out with you
with your new Luke's Omelet Special, and you have like
this board that I'm sure you did not draw at all,
because I've seen your handwriting in real life, supposed to me,
(05:37):
because it was a very nice looking board with lots
of color, and the penmanship was very nicely done on
this board, you know, and it had your new Omelet special,
and and of course Lorla comes in to push your
buttons to like order the omelet because it's the newest thing,
(05:58):
and then totally changes her order, yeah, because she doesn't
want bacon bits in it, but she wants to side
of bacon. And then I mean, you two are just
so endearing and brilliant in this, you know what.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I damn geez, we got to make more episodes. Man.
I miss working with her. I know her timing is
so good.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Buttons are so fun to.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Push right right right. The relationship to characters.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Right, yeah, it was so great and so fast and
so great, and it just moved. I mean that was
like the beginning scene, yeah, and it went right from
there until like just right where you were saying, like
Rory goes to Richard for business advice well after being
hesitant about it and more. Lie is actually the key
component that convinces Rory to go to her grandpa to
(06:53):
ask for that help on the project.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Right, I'm have to pull the reins a little bit
on this stage.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Code. All right, you're getting way of the story here.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh I am.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Let's pull up here.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Let's okay, tell me, let's take a knee, have a
little water towel.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Down a little bit, man, Okay, I'll just dab my forehead, okay,
and drink some more of Scottie Peas big my coffee cousin.
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I knew that Paris was going to have a great idea.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh that girl is brilliant and it was.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
A great idea. James, let me ask you this, and
this is a deeply personal question. You don't have to
answer it, okay, all right? What design would you want
your first aid.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Kit to have in two thousand and two?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
No, right now, gone now.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
In two thousand and two, I wanted it to be Madonna,
But I mean right now, huh, oh my gosh, I'm
really loving Gilmore Girls would be a fun one, obviously.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Let's you know what that's right? You nailed it there.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It is like, can we just do that flashy young
more girl first Aid kit?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Would they give you a break on the licensing? Do
you get like an employee discount?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes, I would?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Really, yes, bro, I know this is the way to go.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Let's do it.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Let's do it. Let's let's make these I mean Paris's idea.
We do have to give her credit.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, but yeah, okay, great, yeah, of course on on
the actual product, we'll give Paris credit. We might call
it something like, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Paris's first aid she and Bright first Aid Kit or
whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, we're a couple of chains.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Did they even mention what was in it? I don't
remember that.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Part bandage and gauze and.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
But the place for remember it, said CD Holder. Yeah,
that's why I went to Madonna in my head.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, all kinds of things, you know, pill little places
for pills, you know, for all their kiluds and things
like that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh that's what the kids were doing.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
No, well, I mean, so, so we got Paris and
Richard working very well together.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh yeah, you think that those two are alike Paris
and Richard very much. So. Yeah, they're both grumpy as
all get out, and they stand up for what they
believe very strongly. Together. They were really fun to watch
in this episode. I was hoping for more.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Actually, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Do you know that it was pivotal this episode for
Richards starting his own business after this, there was a
lot coming, right, Yeah, there's more coming.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
There's a lot of drama coming. Yeah, yeah at all.
You know, now that I've seen it once.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I was like, oh, yeah, here we go. Oh we're
getting on this train.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Let's get into the children annual business.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Jason's weird apartment with the kitchen, the kitchens right in
the living room, it's weird anyway. Oh yeah, and now
we have Michelle's mother coming to visit. He's excited she's
come to town. At the end, they have perfect relationships. She's
exactly like him, She's like two x him, right, And
you've never seen him grinning or laughing so much in
(10:17):
an Episode's so all he did was grinn and laugh
Never never seen the guy do it. And then he
gets angry at loral I for mentioning I mean, like
really just like pitches a hissy right in the kitchen
because she mentioned to his mother that he doesn't eat carbs.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I know, yeah, Okay, I didn't know two thousand and
two was so that was a big storyline. I thought
that was more recent, but that was he went ballistic
with her.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, and now you know his mother. Now that his
mother has no she won't stop asking questions about his
life and it's driving him crazy. So she just Now
if an employee, if somebody talk.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
To you that way at work, what would you do, James,
Oh my gosh, we'd have to have a talk, like
just just a little private talk, like you know, just
to set level, set everything. But I see why he
was the way. I mean, it really gave a look
(11:20):
into his upbringing, like and why the way he is,
Like he is flamboyant. His mother was super sam Boy flamboy.
Her name is Giselle, right, Jesu, jesus, can you do
a French accent? I'm not tried very nice, So I
(11:43):
do know, what does that even mean?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I have no idea. I don't have any idea.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I hope you're not. It's off French people right now, you.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Know what, It's inevitable.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It's like I go through my day, I'm always pissing
off a French person.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That The person that played Gizel was She was from
the Fresh Prince of bel Air, which.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Is so I recognize her, yes, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Also another Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
TV series, No Long Well okay.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And I know that that was her first and only
appearance on Gilmore Girls out of all the seasons also, right,
but it was hilarious the way that they acted together
and how he just turned it on for his mama.
Do you ever turn it on when your mom was alive?
Did you have draft to turn it on for her
like that?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Mmmm?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
She was her own sort of entertainment system. You know.
We were very chill with each other.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
The last time, you know, she came out to La
in like ninety four for a premiere.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I did a little big League movie and there's.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, that was good.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Cineramadon and she, you know, she was We were going
to circle talking to god Andy Seineman, and I think
Rob Reiner was there because he's part of Castle Rock,
and and I think it was Billy Crystal was there.
So my mom's talking to Billy Crystal and she had
(13:12):
just pretty much gotten off the flight, right right. She
was tired, and she had a couple of pops you know,
and and she was talking to Billy Crystal and she goes,
you know, I loved.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You and Sleepless and Seattle, I just loved you and
I like Albert or.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
She goes, oh no, because then she said no, because
you're all so short, and she goes, I know all
the actors are very short, except for my son.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Of course. You know who was you know, Billy Crystal.
You should have seen him. He just like and he
just turned away. Oh I love that he smiled a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But that's that's what Crystal probably loved her no more.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Actually, I mean she's she was the greatest. She was
the greatest. Have you ever been in a situation where
you've accidentally said something to someone's parents, you know, got
them in trouble or got you in trouble?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh yes, all the way. Yes, my whole teen's like
I was. I have a weird thing about myself as
a teenager where I couldn't keep the secret very well.
And so if we in high school, I was the eldest,
so I drove first, and so all the kids on
(14:45):
my block would pile into my car. And then we
used to have this thing. And I'm from Las Vegas,
so it was a lot of desert, and so we
would drive Sahara is a road. We drive to the
top of Sahara. It's also a hotel that is on
the road Sahara, and we drive to the top of
the hair and we'd light tires on fire and like
(15:05):
you know, little bonfires with other kids around and stuff.
And of course there was a little bit of I
guess other kids had zemas and such, and I would
like slip and I was having so much fun with
my friend's parents at their dinner and I would go,
oh yeah, Amy and I drove up to tap A
(15:25):
Sahara and we were like they were having these tires
on fire and like She's like sitting across from the table. No, no, don't,
don't talk anymore about that. They didn't even know I
left the block. So yes, but I just I have
a comfortable I feel comfortable with parents and kids or
(15:46):
just like spill. I guess it was a secret.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I guess she was in study group that night.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Thought kind of like Rory and Lane. At the end
of this episode, Wow, let's.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Let's dig into Rory and Deane. Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
This was a major narrative running throughout this episode, Boy
that kid.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Have you ever been that guy?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Dean?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah? Have you ever been that guy where it's just
like you just keep calling and like she doesn't like me,
and no, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You ever been that guy?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I get the message pretty quickly. I feel like I
could read people, and he is not reading her because
she is no longer interested. It is pretty obvious from
the beginning. I know he leaves her like fourteen messages
and like one day, Yeah, and did you sill have
an answering machine like that? M?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And yeah, we all did.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Did you save the message? I used to save messages
if I really liked him, I did too, Like before
my grandma passed, I'd go, I'm saving that message forever, right,
and then you have to throw away the machine.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Well you know, it's obvious that Rory's pulling away, Yeah,
because it's Jess. Because of Jess, he and he senses
that what did he do? Okay, what are you doing
in a situation like that? You take a step back.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, Laura, I gave really great advice to him. She
was a real friend to Dean, like a real friend.
He is gosh, I guess a little desperate looking in this.
So that is like a little bit of a you know,
a letdown and probably a turn off to Rory too.
(17:35):
But after talking with Laura, I like he like listens,
gets the message and that doesn't bugger so much.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Like so we think, yeah, the only move Dean could
make would be to hold up, to leave her alone,
hold up in a library and start reading all those
books exactly, oh my gosh, and then a month later
send clever little messages or.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Something, yes, and maybe start writing in the margins like
Jess does.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Like that writes really well in the margins.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Have you ever written in a margin. I've never written
in a margin.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh? Sure, I underline and write in the margin. Yeh.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I used to highlight or like crazy, but I destroy books.
Oh I like that because then if I read it,
when I go back and.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Reread them, that's what I read. The Oh the first
thing I read is when I go back. Yeah, read
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And if you loan me in the book, I would
read your stuff even with more accuracy, like just like,
why does Scott have this highlighted? Why did you write
this in the margin.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I don't loan anything out. I don't loan books because
you never see again.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I see how you are.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You never seen it again. I've got people and I
still haven't. They never get it back. I'm not making
that mistake.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
They're probably in someone's front yard in one of those
little boxes that you like do book sharing. If I
find it, I'm going to bring it back to you.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So you've never pulled a Dean and left like twenty messages?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
No, I tell you I read people and get the message.
How about you? You no why because you get the
message and you read people.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I don't know. I've just always been really busy.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You're kind of a matter of fat kind of person too,
Like what does that mean? It means if someone's not
showing your interest, you're not going to show it back.
Oh I leave?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah no, No, it's like whoa, Yeah, I don't get
all insecure. I just like think they're stupid. I lose
respect for him when I leave.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Okay, so now I see what you feel about Dean
in this episode. Yes, you are correct. The relationship is fading.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, yeah, he's been a little lone hitch.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
She just wants it to go back to normal, which
never will, which means she just wants to meet him
again and not know who he is.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And he was so filled with mystery and cool.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, like Jess says, now, right, and that's exactly what
her mom had in the beginning, right, like why she
got pregnant, Why Laurla got pregnant, same kind of thing.
Guy on the motorcycle jumping out the window.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
See you later, Dean Deane, He ain't no James Dean,
all right, Chilton business fair, all right. So the Headmaster
Charlton names the winner. Oh thus this stupid locker alarm
that doesn't even work, and Richard.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Is livid as he should be.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Right you think, how did he handle that?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
He handled it like any normal person would who had
a better idea? Right, he went right to him, And
I guess it's the decision of one We found out
it wasn't a committee. There was one person's like idea.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Do you sense a personal vendetta against Richard by Headmaster Charleston.
Do you think there's something personal there? Because remember remember
when they when when Headmster Charleston approached Richard and said.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Ah, here you retired. We were so shocked that you retired,
and good to see you. It's been so long, you're
not at the club anymore. You're not at the country
club anymore. It's as well, I've been busy the dead.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
And then when Charleston ends the conversation, it says, you know,
I'll let's you know, I'll call Maggie, we'll set up
at dinner.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
We'd love to see you. And then he walks away.
Richard turns his head and says, you do that to himself, So.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It sort of, yes, he speaks of some well, it's
because he's not in the working world anything.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
But I know what I read from that was that
there's some history between these two when it ain't good.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So I'm kind of wondering what it is.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Let's make it up. I think it's money.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think Richard has a lot of money, and there's
just there's your spinoff. Yep, Richard and Head and mister
Charleston and then me and Sean Gunn.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yes, definitely.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
By the way, Raleigh Galaxy Con, Yeah, tell me, two
thousand people showed up to our panel was standing room only.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Oh, holy heck, that's great.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
We're like, we're like the you know, we're like the
Martin and Lewis of the Concertcuit.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I bet you're like a really great talker, and he
just says crazy stuff like I want to be in
your next one.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
He's hysterically funny, he's really smart. We play off each
other really well. We enjoy each other's company and that
and that's really all it is.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
That's all it. Yeah, yeah, you too are fun together
and and I think we both make pretty insightful comments
about the show and the questions that are being asked
of us. But it was we just have these raucous
panels at these at these contint they're so much fun.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
How do you guys kick it off?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Just a moderator goes out there and says you're ready,
and we bring them out and they bring us out.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
They show clips of you guys first, they play the.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Music or whatever. And it's not a lot of clubs,
but man, that's fun.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Okay, when's your next one? And where are you going?
And how do we get to see that? Get one together?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
September's big. September is big.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, I think we're going to be together at September
five through seven, Smoky Mountain Fan Fast and Kingsport, Tennessee
September five or seven, anyway, and then and then I'm
in New Milford, Connecticut the next weekend, and then I'm
in Brighton, Michigan the next weekend. It's September's crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You're busy. Yeah, oh, speaking of like fun events, you know.
In the episode, also, Suki gets so excited that her
wedding imitations were coming. Did you see that part? Do
you remember her?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I love everything Sukie does.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I love the entire Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I mean I could just rewind it and watch it again.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I did that too, Yeah, because I rewatched it just
to get ready for this, And I had to rewind
that like twice because I just laughed so hard because
I feel like some of it is just improv a
little bit. No.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Oh none, none, none, James James.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
But I know, I know, But I know you've met
Amy Sherman Palladino. I know, but you know how precise
she is. Oh, it's exacting.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
You are true, you are that is the truth.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh, there's no improv.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
It was fantastic, I mean, and she got stressed because
there was a typo on it. It was Susie Saint
James instead of Sukie.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Susie.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Who's Susie.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I had a mouthful of cookies. When she said that,
I spit him out, and I like literally spit him
out my son, like, Dad, what did you just do?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Oh my gosh? And then lore Life sets up the
whole customer service like rep and like that is one
of the things that I am friendly to lots and
lots of people, like I just love people. But sometimes
if I have bad customer service, like if the person
on the other end gets on me, then I pull
a suki like she went listic, and I won't go ballistic,
(25:24):
but people go, wow, you see mad.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Oh yeah, that's a big motor you got there, buddy.
There's no question about it in my mind.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
You know, Yeah, I thought that was a cute moment.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Did you think Richard's reaction was childish? I mean the
way you just went off on Charleston?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yes and no, of course, yeah, a little bit, But
I mean it was they had passionate about their project.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Okay, here's here's the burning question that I have.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Okay, why was in Paris up there yelling with them?
She's a complete nut job. Yes, that's her opportunity to
go up there and just sort of act out all
over the place.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Why didn't Why didn't she gang up on with Richard.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I don't know. Like Lorelei said, he grows another six
feet tall when he's like like making a point and
like angry or whatever. And I felt like that's what
he did. And Paris saw it and him and he
handed and he handled it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
But that stupid locker thing, Yeah, that's work.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Look, Friday night dinner.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I love Friday and night dinners.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
He finally comes out of the study, right, yes, all
in a jump. He's been thinking. No, he's been thinking
all afternoon, right, and he's feeling good. He sits down.
They have this dinner and you know, it's like he
wants to consult, he wants to teach, he wants to
take on partner setting up. You know, here comes Jason Styles.
(27:04):
Here we go, you know, uh, all right, But after
dinner in the car ride at home, Laurel Rory tells
Laurla she actually misses Dean, the old Dean, Yes, not
the pathetic you know this one whiny wailing Yeah, it
secure Dean, but.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
The old guy. I think riyals them. She has a
soft spot form, But Laurela has a softer spot form.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
In this episode, what's a nice kid.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
He is nice. And that hair, Geez, Louise, that.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Hair, Now that's the guy with good hair that ain't
trying so hard to have good hair. You know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
It just is even to this day. You know, the
hair is good. Who are you talking about with like,
maybe not great? Are you talking about meat?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Are you kidding me? You get the best hair? I mean,
your hair is the best. I of course, I mean
I'm not talking about me.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
For sure, No, but you know what I mean, I
do know what you mean?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Really great here and then yeah, that that was quite
a closing scene.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Oh yeah, I mean wow.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
On the steps there right at laura Ies home. Oh
and then and the last words he says, I believe
are she likes Jess, doesn't she?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
And then da black next episode and he just walks
off next week on the WB with that great hair.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh yeah, I mean just really wasn't in the episode,
but he kind of was.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
He was, Yeah, he wasn't in the episode. I don't
think he made one appearance in wonder.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He probably didn't get paid for that episode, even though
it's kind of now.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Layne made an appearance in the episode. Mm hmmm, and
her stuff is also funy, funny, funny, funny. This comic
relief that they intertwined within the whole episode is just
so fun. With her taking that career aptitude test where
she finds out after taking the test four times that
she's most suited for sales job and that is totally
(29:08):
not her wish. Right now, I want to talk a little.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Bit about you. Oh if me, yeah, okay, if you
could pitch a Gilmore Girls spin off, Oh, who'd start it?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
You and of course Laura I would be the leads.
I'd want Emily back for one.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Two.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I need to know like what Rory's like. I don't
know what Rory's role is, like, like who she's with,
and like her kids old enough to be the age
she was in high school? Like is that did you
have kids? Other kids? I know you have a daughter,
but I mean, did you have other kids like with Laura?
(29:59):
I I don't know about right, I don't, but I
want I want the story to continue. That town just
the town starts hollow alone and like all the ongoings
of what's going on there is just just yeah, like
a plethora of things to talk about now.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
It falls under the category of, like, you know, global healthcare.
That's moral imperative. That's how people sit. You know, it's
a healings.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It helps people.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, the best part of a lot of people's day.
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I honest, I want to talk about December.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Oh oh, it's going to be a December to remember.

fifth anniversary of Gilmore Girls Holidays Made Here, which is
the Warner Brothers Studio Tour. And what we do is
we take the entire back lot that was used like
the Music Man La La Land, you know, all those
(31:19):
fun movies, but it was mainly used from two thousand
to two thousand and eight for Gilmore Girls as Stars
Hollow and we re decorate it. We reset every store
that we can. We are in the process because you
know we had to tear down Miss Patties.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Did you know that I didn't know?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh no, yes, we had to tear down Miss Patties
a few years ago because we had to slightly move
the Friends Fountain. Friends is a Warner Brothers TV series two,
and so Miss Patty's was a building with no air conditioning.
It had you know you guys, like sweat like crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Where we did our town home Mede Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Little blocks and stuff. We are making a Miss Patties
out of like like blocks so we can rebuild it
just for this and then take it down and then
use it again the next year. Beautiful kind of thing.
So I my goal is to like be a dancer
and Miss Patties this year of our instructors.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
But big plans, right, big plans.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, so big plans. We don't know the start date
yet quite yet, but we do know it'll be more
than the two week run that we usually have. Yeah,

I've been working on it and I have some voice
tapes with me now and I work several hours a
night on perfecting my kind of like radio voice.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Your your podcast radio voice is most excellent. Or I
have a bit of a cold, either one, or you've
smoked a pack of cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I don't know, no, not that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oh no, I just saw you in an Instagram post
where you were at the gym getting back into shape,
getting very impressed, you know, when you're on the road.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I was in Raleigh Galaxy Con Raleigh, uh since last Wednesday.
Got back late late, you know, in the am Sunday morning,
and you know, it's it's thrilling to meet all the fans.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's it's it's really great.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But you can't, you know, you get off your workout
routine and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So I had to run back into the gym.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And yeah, rebuild, rebuild.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
What I told down.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I'm glad that you have a rebuilding and taking photos
and then yourself getting those likes.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
That sounds silly, but the clothes are going to stay on,
all right.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'm not going on that far. I'm just not you know,
I'm not gonna. I don't. I'm not the guy in
the gym that lifts the shirt and I'm gonna get
to that point and then I'm gonna start.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I'm not gonna do it. Okay, Okay, I don't want
to be that guy. There's too many people doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, just just a little flex was good enough.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Here's a little synopsis anyway, gosh, I don't even credit.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Writer director.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
This is directed by Kevin Dowling and written by Linda
Louis cell Music and it aired April twenty third, two
thousand and two.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Boy that was a long time ago. Synopsis.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Roy needs a mentor for a group of business project
at school, so she.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Has to retired grandfather Richard to help out. At first,
he's hesitant, but eventually gets a little too involved in
the endeavor.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
He'll so begins to realize that retired life might not
be for him. Okay, So now we're at Rory's economics
project at the beginning along with the group has to
pitch a consumer product to present to the fair for
her econ class. Group needs parent business advisor, so she
has Laurela I, and Laurel I suggested Richard. Richard says no,
(04:24):
he wants to fix his car and gets sprayed with grease.
And then Emily you know.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Gets up his butt a little bit and says, dude,
you know he help your granddaughter, what's your pat wake up?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
She smacks him around a little bit in the driveway,
and Paris pitches this stylish first aid kit made specifically
for the modern teenager. All right, so James Emily practically
forces Richard into agree to be Roy's advisors. Why do
you think he was so hesitant first?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I don't know. But this episode is fantastic actually, because
it really showcases so many care I mean, it goes
from Emily's relationship to Rory's too. I mean there's a
ending that is to die for, like a sucker punch
with Dean. So this episode is a good shot. So,
(05:14):
but it does start out I don't know why he's hesitant,
but I do know that it starts out with you
with your new Luke's Omelet Special, and you have like
this board that I'm sure you did not draw at all,
because I've seen your handwriting in real life, supposed to me,
(05:37):
because it was a very nice looking board with lots
of color, and the penmanship was very nicely done on
this board, you know, and it had your new Omelet special,
and and of course Lorla comes in to push your
buttons to like order the omelet because it's the newest thing,
(05:58):
and then totally changes her order, yeah, because she doesn't
want bacon bits in it, but she wants to side
of bacon. And then I mean, you two are just
so endearing and brilliant in this, you know what.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I damn geez, we got to make more episodes. Man.
I miss working with her. I know her timing is
so good.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Buttons are so fun to.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Push right right right. The relationship to characters.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Right, yeah, it was so great and so fast and
so great, and it just moved. I mean that was
like the beginning scene, yeah, and it went right from
there until like just right where you were saying, like
Rory goes to Richard for business advice well after being
hesitant about it and more. Lie is actually the key
component that convinces Rory to go to her grandpa to
(06:53):
ask for that help on the project.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Right, I'm have to pull the reins a little bit
on this stage.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Code. All right, you're getting way of the story here.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh I am.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Let's pull up here.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Let's okay, tell me, let's take a knee, have a
little water towel.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Down a little bit, man, Okay, I'll just dab my forehead, okay,
and drink some more of Scottie Peas big my coffee cousin.
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I knew that Paris was going to have a great idea.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh that girl is brilliant and it was.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
A great idea. James, let me ask you this, and
this is a deeply personal question. You don't have to
answer it, okay, all right? What design would you want
your first aid.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Kit to have in two thousand and two?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
No, right now, gone now.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
In two thousand and two, I wanted it to be Madonna,
But I mean right now, huh, oh my gosh, I'm
really loving Gilmore Girls would be a fun one, obviously.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Let's you know what that's right? You nailed it there.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It is like, can we just do that flashy young
more girl first Aid kit?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Would they give you a break on the licensing? Do
you get like an employee discount?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes, I would?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Really, yes, bro, I know this is the way to go.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Let's do it.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Let's do it. Let's let's make these I mean Paris's idea.
We do have to give her credit.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, but yeah, okay, great, yeah, of course on on
the actual product, we'll give Paris credit. We might call
it something like, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Paris's first aid she and Bright first Aid Kit or
whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, we're a couple of chains.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Did they even mention what was in it? I don't
remember that.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Part bandage and gauze and.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
But the place for remember it, said CD Holder. Yeah,
that's why I went to Madonna in my head.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, all kinds of things, you know, pill little places
for pills, you know, for all their kiluds and things
like that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh that's what the kids were doing.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
No, well, I mean, so, so we got Paris and
Richard working very well together.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh yeah, you think that those two are alike Paris
and Richard very much. So. Yeah, they're both grumpy as
all get out, and they stand up for what they
believe very strongly. Together. They were really fun to watch
in this episode. I was hoping for more.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Actually, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Do you know that it was pivotal this episode for
Richards starting his own business after this, there was a
lot coming, right, Yeah, there's more coming.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
There's a lot of drama coming. Yeah, yeah at all.
You know, now that I've seen it once.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I was like, oh, yeah, here we go. Oh we're
getting on this train.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Let's get into the children annual business.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Jason's weird apartment with the kitchen, the kitchens right in
the living room, it's weird anyway. Oh yeah, and now
we have Michelle's mother coming to visit. He's excited she's
come to town. At the end, they have perfect relationships. She's
exactly like him, She's like two x him, right, And
you've never seen him grinning or laughing so much in
(10:17):
an Episode's so all he did was grinn and laugh
Never never seen the guy do it. And then he
gets angry at loral I for mentioning I mean, like
really just like pitches a hissy right in the kitchen
because she mentioned to his mother that he doesn't eat carbs.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I know, yeah, Okay, I didn't know two thousand and
two was so that was a big storyline. I thought
that was more recent, but that was he went ballistic
with her.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, and now you know his mother. Now that his
mother has no she won't stop asking questions about his
life and it's driving him crazy. So she just Now
if an employee, if somebody talk.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
To you that way at work, what would you do, James,
Oh my gosh, we'd have to have a talk, like
just just a little private talk, like you know, just
to set level, set everything. But I see why he
was the way. I mean, it really gave a look
(11:20):
into his upbringing, like and why the way he is,
Like he is flamboyant. His mother was super sam Boy flamboy.
Her name is Giselle, right, Jesu, jesus, can you do
a French accent? I'm not tried very nice, So I
(11:43):
do know, what does that even mean?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I have no idea. I don't have any idea.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I hope you're not. It's off French people right now, you.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Know what, It's inevitable.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It's like I go through my day, I'm always pissing
off a French person.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That The person that played Gizel was She was from
the Fresh Prince of bel Air, which.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Is so I recognize her, yes, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Also another Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
TV series, No Long Well okay.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And I know that that was her first and only
appearance on Gilmore Girls out of all the seasons also, right,
but it was hilarious the way that they acted together
and how he just turned it on for his mama.
Do you ever turn it on when your mom was alive?
Did you have draft to turn it on for her
like that?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Mmmm?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
She was her own sort of entertainment system. You know.
We were very chill with each other.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
The last time, you know, she came out to La
in like ninety four for a premiere.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I did a little big League movie and there's.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, that was good.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Cineramadon and she, you know, she was We were going
to circle talking to god Andy Seineman, and I think
Rob Reiner was there because he's part of Castle Rock,
and and I think it was Billy Crystal was there.
So my mom's talking to Billy Crystal and she had
(13:12):
just pretty much gotten off the flight, right right. She
was tired, and she had a couple of pops you know,
and and she was talking to Billy Crystal and she goes,
you know, I loved.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You and Sleepless and Seattle, I just loved you and
I like Albert or.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
She goes, oh no, because then she said no, because
you're all so short, and she goes, I know all
the actors are very short, except for my son.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Of course. You know who was you know, Billy Crystal.
You should have seen him. He just like and he
just turned away. Oh I love that he smiled a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But that's that's what Crystal probably loved her no more.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Actually, I mean she's she was the greatest. She was
the greatest. Have you ever been in a situation where
you've accidentally said something to someone's parents, you know, got
them in trouble or got you in trouble?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh yes, all the way. Yes, my whole teen's like
I was. I have a weird thing about myself as
a teenager where I couldn't keep the secret very well.
And so if we in high school, I was the eldest,
so I drove first, and so all the kids on
(14:45):
my block would pile into my car. And then we
used to have this thing. And I'm from Las Vegas,
so it was a lot of desert, and so we
would drive Sahara is a road. We drive to the
top of Sahara. It's also a hotel that is on
the road Sahara, and we drive to the top of
the hair and we'd light tires on fire and like
(15:05):
you know, little bonfires with other kids around and stuff.
And of course there was a little bit of I
guess other kids had zemas and such, and I would
like slip and I was having so much fun with
my friend's parents at their dinner and I would go,
oh yeah, Amy and I drove up to tap A
(15:25):
Sahara and we were like they were having these tires
on fire and like She's like sitting across from the table. No, no, don't,
don't talk anymore about that. They didn't even know I
left the block. So yes, but I just I have
a comfortable I feel comfortable with parents and kids or
(15:46):
just like spill. I guess it was a secret.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I guess she was in study group that night.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Thought kind of like Rory and Lane. At the end
of this episode, Wow, let's.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Let's dig into Rory and Deane. Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
This was a major narrative running throughout this episode, Boy
that kid.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Have you ever been that guy?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Dean?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah? Have you ever been that guy where it's just
like you just keep calling and like she doesn't like me,
and no, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You ever been that guy?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I get the message pretty quickly. I feel like I
could read people, and he is not reading her because
she is no longer interested. It is pretty obvious from
the beginning. I know he leaves her like fourteen messages
and like one day, Yeah, and did you sill have
an answering machine like that? M?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And yeah, we all did.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Did you save the message? I used to save messages
if I really liked him, I did too, Like before
my grandma passed, I'd go, I'm saving that message forever, right,
and then you have to throw away the machine.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Well you know, it's obvious that Rory's pulling away, Yeah,
because it's Jess. Because of Jess, he and he senses
that what did he do? Okay, what are you doing
in a situation like that? You take a step back.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, Laura, I gave really great advice to him. She
was a real friend to Dean, like a real friend.
He is gosh, I guess a little desperate looking in this.
So that is like a little bit of a you know,
a letdown and probably a turn off to Rory too.
(17:35):
But after talking with Laura, I like he like listens,
gets the message and that doesn't bugger so much.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Like so we think, yeah, the only move Dean could
make would be to hold up, to leave her alone,
hold up in a library and start reading all those
books exactly, oh my gosh, and then a month later
send clever little messages or.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Something, yes, and maybe start writing in the margins like
Jess does.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Like that writes really well in the margins.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Have you ever written in a margin. I've never written
in a margin.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh? Sure, I underline and write in the margin. Yeh.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I used to highlight or like crazy, but I destroy books.
Oh I like that because then if I read it,
when I go back and.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Reread them, that's what I read. The Oh the first
thing I read is when I go back. Yeah, read
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And if you loan me in the book, I would
read your stuff even with more accuracy, like just like,
why does Scott have this highlighted? Why did you write
this in the margin.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I don't loan anything out. I don't loan books because
you never see again.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I see how you are.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You never seen it again. I've got people and I
still haven't. They never get it back. I'm not making
that mistake.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
They're probably in someone's front yard in one of those
little boxes that you like do book sharing. If I
find it, I'm going to bring it back to you.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So you've never pulled a Dean and left like twenty messages?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
No, I tell you I read people and get the message.
How about you? You no why because you get the
message and you read people.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I don't know. I've just always been really busy.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You're kind of a matter of fat kind of person too,
Like what does that mean? It means if someone's not
showing your interest, you're not going to show it back.
Oh I leave?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah no, No, it's like whoa, Yeah, I don't get
all insecure. I just like think they're stupid. I lose
respect for him when I leave.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Okay, so now I see what you feel about Dean
in this episode. Yes, you are correct. The relationship is fading.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, yeah, he's been a little lone hitch.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
She just wants it to go back to normal, which
never will, which means she just wants to meet him
again and not know who he is.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And he was so filled with mystery and cool.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, like Jess says, now, right, and that's exactly what
her mom had in the beginning, right, like why she
got pregnant, Why Laurla got pregnant, same kind of thing.
Guy on the motorcycle jumping out the window.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
See you later, Dean Deane, He ain't no James Dean,
all right, Chilton business fair, all right. So the Headmaster
Charlton names the winner. Oh thus this stupid locker alarm
that doesn't even work, and Richard.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Is livid as he should be.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Right you think, how did he handle that?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
He handled it like any normal person would who had
a better idea? Right, he went right to him, And
I guess it's the decision of one We found out
it wasn't a committee. There was one person's like idea.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Do you sense a personal vendetta against Richard by Headmaster Charleston.
Do you think there's something personal there? Because remember remember
when they when when Headmster Charleston approached Richard and said.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Ah, here you retired. We were so shocked that you retired,
and good to see you. It's been so long, you're
not at the club anymore. You're not at the country
club anymore. It's as well, I've been busy the dead.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
And then when Charleston ends the conversation, it says, you know,
I'll let's you know, I'll call Maggie, we'll set up
at dinner.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
We'd love to see you. And then he walks away.
Richard turns his head and says, you do that to himself, So.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It sort of, yes, he speaks of some well, it's
because he's not in the working world anything.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
But I know what I read from that was that
there's some history between these two when it ain't good.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So I'm kind of wondering what it is.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Let's make it up. I think it's money.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think Richard has a lot of money, and there's
just there's your spinoff. Yep, Richard and Head and mister
Charleston and then me and Sean Gunn.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yes, definitely.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
By the way, Raleigh Galaxy Con, Yeah, tell me, two
thousand people showed up to our panel was standing room only.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Oh, holy heck, that's great.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
We're like, we're like the you know, we're like the
Martin and Lewis of the Concertcuit.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I bet you're like a really great talker, and he
just says crazy stuff like I want to be in
your next one.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
He's hysterically funny, he's really smart. We play off each
other really well. We enjoy each other's company and that
and that's really all it is.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
That's all it. Yeah, yeah, you too are fun together
and and I think we both make pretty insightful comments
about the show and the questions that are being asked
of us. But it was we just have these raucous
panels at these at these contint they're so much fun.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
How do you guys kick it off?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Just a moderator goes out there and says you're ready,
and we bring them out and they bring us out.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
They show clips of you guys first, they play the.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Music or whatever. And it's not a lot of clubs,
but man, that's fun.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Okay, when's your next one? And where are you going?
And how do we get to see that? Get one together?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
September's big. September is big.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, I think we're going to be together at September
five through seven, Smoky Mountain Fan Fast and Kingsport, Tennessee
September five or seven, anyway, and then and then I'm
in New Milford, Connecticut the next weekend, and then I'm
in Brighton, Michigan the next weekend. It's September's crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You're busy. Yeah, oh, speaking of like fun events, you know.
In the episode, also, Suki gets so excited that her
wedding imitations were coming. Did you see that part? Do
you remember her?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I love everything Sukie does.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I love the entire Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I mean I could just rewind it and watch it again.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I did that too, Yeah, because I rewatched it just
to get ready for this, And I had to rewind
that like twice because I just laughed so hard because
I feel like some of it is just improv a
little bit. No.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Oh none, none, none, James James.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
But I know, I know, But I know you've met
Amy Sherman Palladino. I know, but you know how precise
she is. Oh, it's exacting.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
You are true, you are that is the truth.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh, there's no improv.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
It was fantastic, I mean, and she got stressed because
there was a typo on it. It was Susie Saint
James instead of Sukie.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Susie.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Who's Susie.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I had a mouthful of cookies. When she said that,
I spit him out, and I like literally spit him
out my son, like, Dad, what did you just do?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Oh my gosh? And then lore Life sets up the
whole customer service like rep and like that is one
of the things that I am friendly to lots and
lots of people, like I just love people. But sometimes
if I have bad customer service, like if the person
on the other end gets on me, then I pull
a suki like she went listic, and I won't go ballistic,
(25:24):
but people go, wow, you see mad.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Oh yeah, that's a big motor you got there, buddy.
There's no question about it in my mind.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
You know, Yeah, I thought that was a cute moment.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Did you think Richard's reaction was childish? I mean the
way you just went off on Charleston?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yes and no, of course, yeah, a little bit, But
I mean it was they had passionate about their project.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Okay, here's here's the burning question that I have.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Okay, why was in Paris up there yelling with them?
She's a complete nut job. Yes, that's her opportunity to
go up there and just sort of act out all
over the place.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Why didn't Why didn't she gang up on with Richard.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I don't know. Like Lorelei said, he grows another six
feet tall when he's like like making a point and
like angry or whatever. And I felt like that's what
he did. And Paris saw it and him and he
handed and he handled it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
But that stupid locker thing, Yeah, that's work.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Look, Friday night dinner.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I love Friday and night dinners.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
He finally comes out of the study, right, yes, all
in a jump. He's been thinking. No, he's been thinking
all afternoon, right, and he's feeling good. He sits down.
They have this dinner and you know, it's like he
wants to consult, he wants to teach, he wants to
take on partner setting up. You know, here comes Jason Styles.
(27:04):
Here we go, you know, uh, all right, But after
dinner in the car ride at home, Laurel Rory tells
Laurla she actually misses Dean, the old Dean, Yes, not
the pathetic you know this one whiny wailing Yeah, it
secure Dean, but.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
The old guy. I think riyals them. She has a
soft spot form, But Laurela has a softer spot form.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
In this episode, what's a nice kid.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
He is nice. And that hair, Geez, Louise, that.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Hair, Now that's the guy with good hair that ain't
trying so hard to have good hair. You know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
It just is even to this day. You know, the
hair is good. Who are you talking about with like,
maybe not great? Are you talking about meat?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Are you kidding me? You get the best hair? I mean,
your hair is the best. I of course, I mean
I'm not talking about me.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
For sure, No, but you know what I mean, I
do know what you mean?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Really great here and then yeah, that that was quite
a closing scene.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Oh yeah, I mean wow.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
On the steps there right at laura Ies home. Oh
and then and the last words he says, I believe
are she likes Jess, doesn't she?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
And then da black next episode and he just walks
off next week on the WB with that great hair.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh yeah, I mean just really wasn't in the episode,
but he kind of was.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
He was, Yeah, he wasn't in the episode. I don't
think he made one appearance in wonder.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He probably didn't get paid for that episode, even though
it's kind of now.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Layne made an appearance in the episode. Mm hmmm, and
her stuff is also funy, funny, funny, funny. This comic
relief that they intertwined within the whole episode is just
so fun. With her taking that career aptitude test where
she finds out after taking the test four times that
she's most suited for sales job and that is totally
(29:08):
not her wish. Right now, I want to talk a little.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Bit about you. Oh if me, yeah, okay, if you
could pitch a Gilmore Girls spin off, Oh, who'd start it?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
You and of course Laura I would be the leads.
I'd want Emily back for one.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Two.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I need to know like what Rory's like. I don't
know what Rory's role is, like, like who she's with,
and like her kids old enough to be the age
she was in high school? Like is that did you
have kids? Other kids? I know you have a daughter,
but I mean, did you have other kids like with Laura?
(29:59):
I I don't know about right, I don't, but I
want I want the story to continue. That town just
the town starts hollow alone and like all the ongoings
of what's going on there is just just yeah, like
a plethora of things to talk about now.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
It falls under the category of, like, you know, global healthcare.
That's moral imperative. That's how people sit. You know, it's
a healings.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It helps people.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, the best part of a lot of people's day.
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I honest, I want to talk about December.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Oh oh, it's going to be a December to remember.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You and I are always cooking up some fun Gilmour plans.
Aren't we work? You?

fifth anniversary of Gilmore Girls Holidays Made Here, which is
the Warner Brothers Studio Tour. And what we do is
we take the entire back lot that was used like
the Music Man La La Land, you know, all those
(31:19):
fun movies, but it was mainly used from two thousand
to two thousand and eight for Gilmore Girls as Stars
Hollow and we re decorate it. We reset every store
that we can. We are in the process because you
know we had to tear down Miss Patties.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Did you know that I didn't know?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh no, yes, we had to tear down Miss Patties
a few years ago because we had to slightly move
the Friends Fountain. Friends is a Warner Brothers TV series two,
and so Miss Patty's was a building with no air conditioning.
It had you know you guys, like sweat like crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Where we did our town home Mede Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Little blocks and stuff. We are making a Miss Patties
out of like like blocks so we can rebuild it
just for this and then take it down and then
use it again the next year. Beautiful kind of thing.
So I my goal is to like be a dancer
and Miss Patties this year of our instructors.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
But big plans, right, big plans.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, so big plans. We don't know the start date
yet quite yet, but we do know it'll be more
than the two week run that we usually have. Yeah,
so we want to extend it, like we want to

the way through and then do a Christmas tree lighting
every night, like something super eventful and fun and like,

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, well we have to do better because it's the
twenty fifth anniversary.
