Talking 'Ship

This season we're talking 'ship about David and Patrick of Schitt's Creek, in our inaugural episode we focus on how David grows and changes the first two seasons of the show before we meet Patrick and why that growth is ESSENTIAL.

This is our final episode talking ‘ship about Luke and Lorelai and it is a MAILBAG episode filled with questions from you, our listeners.

We made it! We’ve followed Lorelai and Luke through endless cups of coffee, missing chicks, broken shoes, flirty banter, even hay bale mazes, and we’ve finally made it to the end. Of the maze. And their story. Today we’re talking about the ending of Gilmore Girls and the ever after of Luke and Lorelai…. including just how happy we think it is. This episode we’ll pick up with season seven of Gilmore Girls. We’ll dissect how things fall apart with Christopher, and how Luke and Lorelai each individually change so that they can find their way back to each other. Gilmore Girls is unique in that it ends TWICE! What did we think of the ending of the seven seasons, and what did we think of the Netflix yearbook “A Year in the Life”?Where do we find Luke and Lorelai nine years later? What issues are still present in their relationship? Does the reboot to solve them?We’ll wrap up by giving our final words of unsolicited advice to all the real life Luke and Lorelais out there. Would YOU want a Luke and Lorelai relationship?Next week we’ll be answering our listener’s questions, responding to their hot takes, and give our farewell to Stars Hollow… for now ;) You can find Megan on Instagram and Twitter  @onlymegan815 and Katie on Instagram @katie_bud and Twitter/Tik Tok @katiebuderwitz Cover art by Emily Rowan www.emily-rowan.com (@emrowan)Theme music by Chris Meissner (@chris_meissner)

We've taken the past two weeks off releasing episodes to stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. We're back to releasing episodes this week, but our work is not over. Stay involved in this fight, we will be doing so now and forever. This is lifelong work.  https://blacklivesmatter.com/It happens to even the best of couples, both fictional and non: breakups. This episode we’re covering BOTH of Luke and Lorelai’s big splits and what we learn from each of them.We’re here to DISSECT. What caused these breakups? Were they avoidable? First we’ll chat about BREAKUP #1, which we affectionately call the “Princess and the Pauper” breakup. Christopher Hayden played a big part of this breakup. Do you have to tell your partner every time you see an ex? Is that unnecessary drama?Speaking of unnecessary drama, Emily Gilmore essentially orchestrated this first breakup. Is someone’s crazy or meddling family a good enough reason to end a relationship? We get into some real talk about their engagement, what it means for their relationship, and why we feel so weird about it. Then we talk some 'SHIP about a one miss APRIL NARDINI and how she waltzes into Stars Hollow and ruins everything (just kidding...kind of). Then regarding BREAKUP #2....can you recover from keeping a secret as large as a ~surprise daughter~? Was Luke justified in wanting to take some time to get to know April on his own? Was Lorelai justified in giving him an ultimatum? Ultimately, Lorelai does some sabotaging at the end of this relationship. Why does she do this? Why do we do this as human beings?We’re gonna talk ‘ship about it all… tune in!You can find Megan on Instagram and Twitter  @onlymegan815 and Katie on Instagram @katie_bud and Twitter/Tik Tok @katiebuderwitz Cover art by Emily Rowan www.emily-rowan.com (@emrowan)Theme music by Chris Meissner (@chris_meissner)

Welcome back to Talking ‘Ship, a non-fictional podcast about fictional relationships,  hosted by Megan Fitzgerald and Katie Buderwitz. This season we’re talking about Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore of Gilmore Girls. This episode we'll discuss ALL the people that these two date before they find their way to each other.... and it's a lot of people. First we’re going to recap the four seasons worth of other relationships (Max Medina, Christopher Hayden, Rachel, Nicole, Digger Styles, and a few questionable randoms).What is it like to watch your big “what if” person date other people? How do we handle it? How do we cope? Do we buddy up with their significant other, or do we fully demonize them in an unhealthy way? Then we break down each of these relationships and what Luke and Lorelai learned from each of them: Do you have an old flame from your past you haven’t worked through such as Rachel or Christopher? Maybe you need to give it one more shot to move past them.How do you end a relationship with someone who is *almost right for you* like a Max or a Nicole? What is that “I didn’t want to try on my wedding dress” feeling?How infuriating is it to watch your crush date a million random people? Do we all need a casual dating phase? Or are some of us not meant to be casual daters?Megan and Katie also share their unsolicited advice for how to handle watching your big “what if” person date somebody else. And we'll wrap things up with ALL ABOARD, where we share some moments that got us fully ON BOARD with this 'ship.
