Friday Night Dinner with Morgan & Rachelle: A Gilmore Girls Podcast

What do you get when you put two sugar-hyper sisters in front of a microphone? Answer: This episode. If we could give you a bit of unsolicited advice? Run away little listener, because this is the episode of tangents and oh, in case you forgot, THEY WERE ON A BREAK. And just like that, this episode description is about as cohesive as the episode you’re about to hear. Grab your cup o’ coffee at Central Perk and we’ll see you in Stars Hollow, Friends.

If you’ve come to this details section for the ins and outs of this episode, you’ve come to the right place friends. A surprise visit from The Independence Inn’s owner, Mia, has Lorelai rethinking her and Sookie’s decision to open their own inn, especially when Fran refuses to take the hint and sell Lorelai and Sookie the Dragonfly property. A mysterious crime scene rocks the town and leads to a clandestine town meeting that threatens to oust the newest resident of Stars Hollow. And Emily pays a visit to the woman who harbored her runaway teenage daughter to give her a piece of her mind, as if we expected any less (more?) of Emily. Alright, are you in yet? Cuz we’re out. See you in Stars Hollow.

You know how that old Spice Girls’ song goes: “If you wanna go to Harvard, you gotta get yourself some friends.” Or at least, that’s what Il Duce and the rest of the Chilton staff try to convince Rory and Lorelai in this week’s episode and WE WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. Lorelai saves the fall fashion show & struts it on the cat walk with Emily, Rory almost joins a cult (re: secret society), and we sing throughout the duration of this episode. We’ll see you in Stars Hollow!

In honor of Mother’s Day (which was last Sunday here in the U.S.), Rachelle gave Morgan the weekend off to spend her first official Mother’s Day with Nugz and we’re so excited to bring you this mini-episode interview with two of our listeners, mother-daughter duo Anna & Natalie, who listen to the podcast and call each other to keep in touch and talk about our episodes (is that not the cutest thing you’ve ever heard???). They also pulled over after a few hours into a road trip to chat with us, so basically we couldn’t be more flattered. We’ll see you in Stars Hollow.

Welcome back to Friday Night Dinner with your hosts Rachelle & Emilia (more commonly known by her stage name, Nugz) with special guest Morgan. This week, Rory’s coming out so you’d better get this cotillion started — and call Christopher who drives a Volvo and lives in Boston now working a stable job so there’s some shady AF stuff going on there. Plus, Richard and Emily are fighting and it’s not a good look, definitely worse than Dean in a tux because hello sailor. Grab your feather fans and we’ll see you in Stars Hollow!

Auditory trigger warning: Morgan was imbibing in Friday Night Dinner during much (munch?) of the recording of this episode, and we both were laying the unsolicited advice on thicckkkk throughout, so if this is the last time you listen, well, we get it and don’t blame you, quite frankly. But if neither of those things deter you, then we’ll see you in Stars Hollow for this hellscape of an episode. No, literally, this is hell, and you’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, you’d better not pout we’re telling you why, because Jess Mariano is comin’ to town.

Get in losers, we’re going to Harvard. Rory and Lorelai are hitting the open road and going wherever the wind may take them — even if it’s straight into the ocean, or Wonderland. Side effects of spontaneous road trips may include uncomfortable and unpleasant chit chat with B ‘n B’ers, having a panic attack after realizing you’ll never read all the books in your local library, thoughts and discussions of fatalism and/or existentialism, and overspending on college memorabilia in the campus gift shop. Please keep your arms, hands, feet, and legs inside the Jeep, and don’t forget to pull over at every Haden’s Nut Stand along the way. See you in Stars Hollow!

It’s a red flag throw down, y’all. Just weeks before the big day, Lorelai hosts her first official sleepover with Max, Stars Hollow gets its very first traffic light, and Lorelai’s bachelorette party turns into a feels fest when Emily shows up and Lorelai consumes one too many Long Island Iced Teas. Oh, and hang onto your Huppah, because the Gilmore Girls are going on a road trip! See you in Stars Hollow.

Can you hear the wedding bells a ‘ringin? Lorelai is still hiding her engagement from her parents and debating veil lengths, and Rory is building (we’re using that word very loosely here) houses for those in need and to pad her college transcripts. Lorelai finally tells Emily about the wedding, only to find out her mother already knew. Rory melts down after realizing she doesn’t know how to build a fire or survive in the wild or get into Harvard for that matter, and the town throws a wedding shower for Lorelai and Max, but a certain man in a flannel and baseball cap is suspiciously missing from the hoopla. Don your tiaras and we’ll see you in the Hollow.

We sat down with the Sookie St. James of Texas, Larisa Kliman of Eating Gilmore (@eatinggilmore), to talk all things Gilmore Girls as she cooks and bakes her way through her favorite show and documents her journey on Instagram and her blog, eatinggilmore.com. Larisa, a high school college admissions counselor, also shares her expert advice for applying to college, and what Gilmore Girls got right (and wrong) about the process. She also introduces R&M to their new fave Harry Potter account, @bradbakes. Grab your apron and spatula and we’ll see you in Stars Hollow!
