I Am all in again.

Oh it's you.

I Am All in Town meeting with Suzanne French and Tara suit An iHeartRadio podcast.

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of I'm All in Town Meeting with Myself, Torrence, Suzanne, Hello, Hello.

Today we're talking about season two, episode twenty Help Wanted, which aired on May seventh, two thousand and two.

We are two thousand and two.

Seems so long ago when I read it.

I know, I know it does.

Oh man, So it's the episode after the car accident.

Yeah, this like ties right into the last episode.

Yeah, teach me tonight.

Like they kind of go together as a pair.

Yeah.

Yeah, which makes me always think like it was must have been so hard to wait week by week.

But currently I'm watching the Summer I Turn Pretty, and that's week by week, and I'm I'm pretty miserable waiting week by week.

I have to get caught up on that I watched like the first I think two episodes of season three, and then I haven't watched anymore.

So I have to get caught up.

Listen, season three.

Everyone gave Season three.

Sorry we're going off topic, but give me a second.

Season three is really, really good, but people just jump the gun thinking it was bad.

But I'm like, I read the books, all righty oh okay, so I know it's a little bit different.

That's kind of really different.

But I was like, we're only three episodes in.

You gotta keep going.

And then season five, I mean episode five is when it's like everyone was on edge, like, oh my god, Okay, now we're fully locked up.

Okay, I'm going to get caught up.

I really liked season one.

I didn't.

I wasn't as much of a fan of season two, so I haven't been as motivated to watch season three, but I'll fit season three.

You're gonna not like the first Like would you say you watched the first wat Yeah, you're gonna like the next two are just kind of like it has to set up the scene.

And again, they did change the storyline from the book a little bit, so they need to really set the scene.

And Jeremiah is just annoying.

But I promise you it's also now it gives me like a Wednesday like so they take forwards.

So with that being said, let's get back to go on.

Yeah that's why we're here.

Yeah, I thought we were just chatting.

Actually, in my defense of bringing that up, there is a huge comparison to Conrad to Jess.

Have you seen this?

Oh okay, okay, there's a huge comparison of There's a scene in an episode that I can't spoil for you, but it's on the beach and we actually did post it on I'm all in Instagram.

It has a spoiler alert, so seas and watch out.

But it's a side by side of Conrad speaking and Jess's scene when he tells her why did you drop out of you?

There's and I literally was like, now it makes sense.

Now it makes sense because I was a Jefs girl.

Okay, I'm a Conrad girl.

Okay, but yeah, there's a lot of like over.

I'm pretty sure Jenny Han, the author probably watched Gilmore Girls.

I know she's friends with Lauren Graham.

Okay, well then there we go.

So she probably has yeah, oh yeah, so funny.

Anyway, Okay, now I can get back to it.

See, I tied it very good.

I'm impressed.

So I had one fun, fun little Warner Brothers backlot thing I wanted to point out for those those who care, and I'm sorry if you don't care, but I'm gonna tell you anyway.

Okay, So the Hungry Diner when Laura and Roy are in that weird little diner because you know, Luke's is closed, so they can't go to Luke so they go to the Hungry Diner and that's where they see Michelle.

So I was trying to figure out where it was, and I did a little digging, and so that is the that's in the building next door to Miss Patty's.

So they put the news stand in front of it sometimes, but it's in the brick building that sits there, and that same room diner area is also.

It was also the bakery in You, So if anybody watched You on Netflix, that was the bakery.

I can't remember the name of it that, but it was that bakery.

A lot of people think that Luke's Diner was in You, but it wasn't Luke's.

Luke's was down the street.

But and then it also was the cafe in La La Land where.

Oh there's outside, Yeah, well where what's her name?

Isn't Mia?

Is that the character's name?

I haven't seen it in a while.

Where she works?

Yeah?

Where she works is?

Oh, okay, it's that same that same little cafe.

Fun fact, I was I was wondering when I first saw the Hungry Diner.

I was like, it was weirdly the cheshire Cat, Like, that's where my brain went, I think, as it was the pink Yeah, the cheshire Cat is on the other side.

It is on the other side.

We that could be like a whole separate podcast.

How many times they've used that room.

The cheshire Cat is the same room that is the movie theater, the Black, White, and Red movie theater.

Oh, and it's also from a different angle.

It's also Dean's parents' house when Rory goes over there.

And it's also the bookstore, like the publishing place where Jess is working when he meets April.

Okax or whatever that is.

I can't even remember.

But yeah, so that that location was used a ton of times in the show.

But speaking of stores, I didn't realize it was this early on that Lane's music storyline starts.

Yeah, I didn't either.

I thought that was more like a season three, season four thing.

Well.

I also didn't expect for because when when she's like peaking in, she's like, oh my god, it's a music store.

I didn't expect by the end, we have the music store fully up and running.

Yeah, like it went really fast.

Yeah that's true.

Yeah, so this was I did make a note of that that this was our first episode with Carol King and I don't know if you noticed, but the song that was playing in the background the first time she went in was heavy Metal Drummer by Wilco.

So that was a little nod to whoever you know does the music for the show, Like they picked a song about it.

The song isn't about the drummer, it's about the woman, but it just was cute because Lane is a drummer, and so they picked as the background music.

So I thought that was cute.

I swear I thought the music storyline started like at least season three.

I know I thought so too, because I also saw the music store with with Zach.

Yeah that's what I was, and I'm like, we don't see that.

Yeah, so that was that was a good point too.

Yeah, there was a Hans and Soda here.

Oh I missed that, So it wasn't the label was facing Rory, which was funny, but it's also it's the same can it's when she goes in, she goes into the house, she listens to the boy'smail, and Laura lies like, oh, there's a there's money into the rabbi, and then she goes to the fridge, opens it up, and takes out a hands and Soda.

I didn't even know.

How did I miss that?

I didn't even notice that.

I was really Now it's like we were we've we went from clown pillows.

Also, then we see but Maxine's always in the same corner.

I think she was there, I saw her.

But I feel like our next The next thing is the hands and soda.

It's probably just the same can and the prop department just pulls it out every night.

No, she's had different flavors, okay, episodes she's had.

This one was the I can't remember what flavor it is, but the the top edge of the can is red and the main body of the can is green.

Yeah, it had like a Kiwi one, like a Kiwi watermeton.

Maybe I think that's the Kiwi one.

I think it's the green but I couldn't tell.

But speaking of the Rabbi, when she goes over to the rabbi and she picks him up and picks up the money, you can see just the tiniest corner of the clown pillow.

Oh really, she picks up the money.

Yeah, I was too invested in the Singing Rabbit.

You can't, like you would have to know what it is like.

You can't see the clown or anything, but you can see the red the edge, like the top edge of the pillow.

Huh.

So interesting, very small.

This is not really this is more of an observation.

Be BET's hair.

Yes, it was a wig, right, I you know, I don't.

Know if it was a if it was a wig or it.

Was or they just gave her an in same blowout.

Yeah, because that was the season that Lauren had that she she had that stick straight hair and it looked kind of fried.

So that was like everybody was doing those straightening treatments.

The hair department was just on one.

So yeah, I don't know, I don't know if it was a I have to go back and see if it looked like a wig, but I didn't.

I thought they had just straightened it.

Maybe she was doing another role.

It's not even straightened.

So it's when she's talking to Rory comes home.

It's actually right before the Rabbi scene.

Yeah, Rory comes home.

She runs over.

It is, like, the reason why it looks to me like a wig is because her bangs like they flip perfectly, but then the end of her hair curls in.

Okay, yeah, and so it's not even slick straight.

It literally just does not look real.

But either she got the most insane blowout where they made it look like that, or it's a wig.

Like it's one of the two.

Interesting.

I wonder if she was doing another role or something and she had to.

Have maybe I don't know, I don't know, but but her hair.

To be honest, I couldn't tell you what their conversation was that they had, but I just saw the hair.

Yeah.

And well, and her hair does change like part way through, like she does go from the curly to the strait for the rest of the show.

But I didn't think it happened in season two.

Well it's not even because yeah, I remember her curly hair, but this just felt very off.

Either there was a new hair person on set or something.

It was experience.

It was ring though, Yeah, because I noticed it too.

I'm like, oh, her hair's different.

Yeah.

When h Rory gave Dean the letter, and it's a very long letter that is the fastest anyone has ever read.

When he flipped the page and it was like because you can tell there was writing on it, like they made it look like.

I was like, Dean cannot read this fast, let alone Rory cannot read this fast.

Yeah, maybe he's just skimming because he was trying to because you wouldn't tell him how she hurt her arms, So maybe he.

Yeah, yeah, he was skimming there.

No.

I just thought it was funny because I was like, damn, it was a long letter in Dean's reading real.

Fast, and we saw his dad from the back.

That's the only time we see Dean's dad.

And he said he even had a line he said, hi Rory, which probably dubbed it later.

But it was funny see Dean's.

Dad, which makes me go back to when it made no sense to me when they break up and she's like, hi, little girl.

Exactly.

Yeah, like his sister is a complete stranger.

But did we get there yet or not yet?

We did?

Yeah?

We did.

We talked.

We talked about that, Yeah we did.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I will just never forget when I'm like, how did you not know your boyfriend's sister?

Yeah, or she didn't know you just blew.

Anyway, they reminded me of that scene because I'm like, see, she doesn't know his family, so funny.

I guess I was going to head over to the Richard's storyline for a second.

Okay, that was cute.

I thought that was I thought it was cute until again Richard ruined it.

Which that was where I was going to bring it up.

She couldn't take her lunch with her.

She just left her phone.

Oh I didn't even notice that.

Oh my god.

Well, first of all, they were starting to eat, because remember she was like, oh, we could finish our lunch.

She closes the sparkling water, puts it down your food, they appear, yes, product placement.

I was like, you could have taken your sandwich with you, And then the next scene she's getting like a crappy sandwich with a rory.

Oh I didn't even catch.

That you could have taken your sandwich with Yeah?

Was it the same day?

I think that's a good catch, Yeah, I think.

But yeah, I was like, you just left the sandwich.

What was Richard going to do with it?

Right?

Like Richard's gonna clean anything up?

And also speaking of because I'm going into like Richard and Emily of it all.

There was a lot of Richard and Emily this episode.

Yeah, and it blows my mind that she never mentioned Rory's arms.

Yeah, I think, well, I think she.

I think that was intentional, Like she knew that Emily was going to make a big freaking deal about it.

But but she brought Rory to the party.

She was gonna make a big deal no matter what.

Yeah, that's true.

I guess maybe she hoped it wouldn't be as big of a deal if it.

Was in front of the other people.

Yeah, yeah, you say, who knows what goes on side.

But I did really like the Richard and Emily of this, and also when she was pretending to be an assistant or you know, and she was anyway, she was like, oh, I don't know, he's mad, and she's like what.

Yeah.

I thought that was cute.

And I loved the scene where they were shopping for office supplies.

Oh my god, they were totally in office depot or Staples.

Yeah somewhere.

I like the office barn the sign.

Which made me miss like back to school shopping.

I used to love that.

Yeah, my son just Hi and his friends went back to school shopping the other day and came back with all this crap.

Do we still have office depots and stables?

There's there's so office depot and Office Max merged that is still around.

I forget what the name is because the receipts have both names on them.

Oh funny.

Oh, I guess like it's like TJ Max, Like how those are?

Yeah huh, but yeah, I love I love office supply stores.

It's just so much like Richard's.

Wonder over the Post.

It's like that's how I am too.

It's like there's so many sizes and colors and oh yeah shaped and heart shaped.

Oh walk into the stationary store and just like foam at the Yeah, like all this stuff.

And pens.

I love pens, like gel pens.

I love pens.

Look at pens all day, I know.

And it's funny because like I don't use my as I'm sitting at my desk, I have like an array of pens and pencils, like mechanical pencils.

I have literally like four mechanical pencils that have not been touched but they're pretty colors.

Yeah, yeah, I can't even remember the last time I used a pencil.

Actually, I use a pencil sometimes, for like in my calendar, I have like a I have like a calendar book, and sometimes if things change it instead of crossing it out, I like to just erase it.

But other than that, I use a pen I did have.

This is something my husband noticed so after the episode that we talked about a couple.

I guess it was episode sixteen where Rory had her night at home alone and everybody showed up and was harassing her, and it was she ordered the Indian food and there was you know, we talked about the Indian food.

My husband noticed that in this episode on the refrigerator was a menu from San Deep's Indian Food.

Wow.

That is a detailed thing to see, I know.

I was like, oh, good cat.

Was it there before?

Though I don't know, I don't.

Remember seeing it.

We'll have to go back and look, but yes, if it was there, it was actually readable this.

Time, so I got it.

That is so funny.

Speaking of food, I was going to call out at the very very very last scene when she sees Luke and goes into the diner and Luke offers her a donut, I was like, how long has that donate been sitting there?

Yes, did you think the same thing.

Yeah, he's been gone at least what like three or four days.

We don't know exactly how long, but it's been a while.

That's donut is hard as alone.

Yeah yeah, I'm like, gee, what a nice offer, Luke thinks.

I'm so glad I wasn't alone.

It was the first thing.

He's like, take you help yourself to a donut, and I'm like, the donut that's been there since like last Tuesday.

Yeah, like, you help yourself.

It saves me the trouble of.

Throwing it out.

I did have one other minor little thing that I thought was cute.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but there was.

Richard had a line about how Laurel I was.

She was so she was anticipating everything that he would need, and he told her she was like that little fellow in Mash.

And he was referring to the Radar, the character Radar, and I just I had a little smile on that one because Ed Herman was actually in an episode of Mash.

Oh okay, I've never seen Mash, but I feel like I would like it.

It was it was good.

I haven't watched it in a long I mean I watched it when it aired in the seventies and eighties.

My parents used to It was on for years.

It was like on all the way through.

I mean there's still reruns.

I feel like, yeah, it was.

It was a good show.

And it was one of those shows that even though like sometimes shows that run for years, they have cast changes and you're like, I don't really like these new people, Mash never had that, Like they would rotate cast members in and out, and it just was seamless.

It was.

I thought it was a great show.

I mean it was very well received, but yeah.

It was.

Maybe I'll give at some point, but between now and the end of the year, I'll give Mash.

Yeah, but I feel like I need to start from the beginnings.

I don't know what is what's even about?

Yeah, and it's one of those shows you could kind of pick up anywhere.

It's not like most sitcoms.

It's it doesn't look.

But I need the pilot.

Yeah, definitely watch the pilot.

Watch the pilot for sure.

But yeah, that's what I miss about sitcoms.

Like if you used to like tune into like Brady Bunch, there was a whole storyline like within like that episode and it didn't really like right, Like all you need to know is that they were stepbrothers and sisters.

Right right, You could watch them in any order basically.

Yeah, it's not like is that how mashes.

Like most part?

Yeah, I mean the characters have backstories, but there's there's not like the plot itself.

There might be like a two part or three part here and there, but it.

Was We're not as deep as Stars Hollow and Gilmore Girls.

Yeah.

Sure, alright, So next week we are watching season two, episode twenty one, Loreleize Graduation Day.

Listen Season two.

I said it for great season.
