Gilmore Girls Gazette: Teen Idol Mania

0:00 I am all in.

0:03 Again!

0:10 Gilmore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo. An iHeartRadio podcast.

0:24 We are back for another episode of Gilmore Girls Gazette. And, you know, it's the weekend. And we wanted to have fun today.

0:29 Oh, we haven't had a game in a while. We haven't played a game in a while. You're playing a game.

0:32 And let me set up the scene for you. So you have yours truly, Danielle. You also have Amy, which you all know and love. We have Jackie, our amazing producer on the line. And we have Lo, who is our PA. And she is.

0:47 People might not know what a PA is. Production assistant.

0:50 She is the reason why we do things... Should we start calling PAs pause?

0:55 Pause.

0:57 But she's 19 and she loves Gilmore Girls. And she was just telling us earlier today.

1:03 I didn't know Lauren.

1:04 Yeah, that she rewatches Gilmore Girls every fall. So she's about to start her rewatch again.

1:10 Low. You should be the Rory to my Lorelai for Halloween. I would love to.

1:18 We want to get her on with Scott to give the fresh 19-year-old perspective.

1:22 The true Gen Z Gilmore Girls.

1:24 When you go on with Scott, will you be excited because you love Gilmore Girls, that you're literally on with the star of Gilmore Girls? Or are you like, I'm cool? I mean, I would be excited mentally, but I'd play it cool. She already plays it cool.

1:43 I know. I don't think I would die to see Loa as a fangirl. I feel like I have seen you as a fangirl once. Something Jonas-y, but I forget what.

1:53 I was going to say, with the brothers.

1:55 It wasn't for them. It was somebody that they've had, and I just.

1:59 Who's your, like, who would you just, everybody on, who would you just get, like, nervous about if you met them?

2:08 I have two, and I've met them both, and I've.

2:11 Just been sat down.

2:15 In a corner. No, I was very cool with both of them. Milo Ventimiglia, I would just sit there and just be like this. And Enrique Iglesias, I got stuck in an elevator with him, and I just turned around.

2:28 You got stuck in an elevator? Where? How did you get stuck in an elevator? Not stuck.

2:35 It was just a long elevator ride. It kept, you know, stopping at floors and floors and floors. I was in an elevator with him for at least 60 seconds, which is a long time.

2:43 That happened to me in Dua Lipa in the New York one. So my problem is like, well, look, if I met like Barack Obama, I think I'd get like kind of, I might like get tears in my eyes. Like there's some icons like that. For me, the ones that make me like weirded out.

3:00 I've seen you weird once and it's not.

3:02 Was it with Rascal Flatts?

3:04 No, it was with Sean White. You were weird.

3:07 You were weird. I kind of thought he was cute. I kind of was like, I got to get away from this guy. I can't do this.

3:12 Amy was weird. She was like, he's very cute. And just like, I'm walking away.

3:18 I met him once with his gold medal. Oh, no, he's cute. There's something really, like, cute about him. Like Riz? Like he's got the Riz? He's got Riz, yeah. But the ones that make me, like, are the ones from the childhood. Like, I don't even want to say it, but David Hasselhoff. Like, I can't because of Knight Rider.

3:39 I just can't. Or, like, I'm trying to think of who else from, you know, like, all those shows you love. Greg Brady. I just can't. I cannot. I just can't.

3:49 I get.

3:51 weird and then they're like it's like a weird thing too because they're not them anymore.

3:55 Do you know what I mean right right and they're so far removed from that at this point right it's like yeah.

4:01 This guy's a hundred instead of 17 he's not really a hundred but you know what I mean like yeah Greg Brady's like what 70 something it's not 17 it's just not Johnny Bravo and I'm just like I don't the the meld doesn't work for.

4:18 Me I think mine everybody would agree Leonardo DiCaprio because of Romeo and Juliet.

4:25 It wouldn't do anything to me. I would look at him and be like, ah, there's Leo. Hey.

4:29 I would just be like, hey. Yeah. I don't have that, but I'm trying to think of more like the Kirk Cameron, you know, all those people that, Eric Estrada, like all those that you're like, oh my God. It's crazy. I would think I would be this, all those like teen idols. Yeah.

4:47 Wait, Lo, who is it for you? Bieber or something?

4:49 Oh, it was Bieber.

4:51 That's who it was.

4:52 That's who it was. It was Bieber. Lo got all hot and bothered.

4:57 Oh, my God. Hilarious. It's crazy. First off, all of the names you said, except for Leonardo DiCaprio, I have no clue who they are. Yeah, thank you.

5:07 You know who Enrique Iglesias is?

5:09 Okay, him too. I know who he is. Is there anyone else? It's targeted. It's targeted. Every name I said, she doesn't know. That's because Lo... Aren't you like 20? Yes. And I'm 53. Wait, that's a lie.

5:26 I'm 52.

5:26 I was going to.

5:27 Say, when did you turn 53? I was like, shit. I'm of the age that we don't even know what our age is. I'm 52. I was born in 1974.

5:35 I'm the exact same age as your dad. You like the, the, Brady Bunch wasn't even on first run when I saw it. Like it was in reruns. So like, how would you know? Although like, I would love for you to know the Brady Bunch. I also wonder, can somebody put a picture of Greg Brady from the Brady Bunch the later years?

6:06 And I want to see what you guys, if you think he's cute. Have you ever seen the TikToks?

6:10 Whoa.

6:10 Hold on, my phone's ringing. No, but I would say mine is, This is kind of a very, like, young answer, but Michael V. Jordan.

6:17 Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one.

6:21 Can somebody please put a picture of Greg Brady up so that you all can see if you think he's cute?

6:25 Did you watch Parenthood Love? No.

6:26 Okay, not that. God, you guys. They put a picture of... Do this one. The one, like, that. The one on the right. Get rid of these weird ones because you can't. They're showing now. You need to do the ones. Google the teen years. Do that. The teen years. And then I'll show you the one. So see the one. No, no, no.

6:56 Go back. Go back. The one in the gingham shirt. That. Do you think that person is cute?

7:03 I mean, for the 70s, yes. Like if he was in front of me, right? No, he's cute.

7:08 Yeah, like minus the sideburns.

7:10 Yes, he's very cute.

7:11 I'm going to have to disagree, unfortunately. Okay, do Kirk Cameron teen years. Okay.

7:18 Yeah, he's cute.

7:20 Okay, I can somewhat see the appeal. The one in the red. I understand controversial, right? I'm not even going to go there with it now.

7:30 He gives me weird Mad Zookery vibes a little.

7:34 Yes, he gives me so many other people we think is cute. Okay, do Sean Cassidy, the teen years.

7:41 Oh, this was my mom's crush.

7:44 Oh, my God.

7:45 I wouldn't, I wouldn't.

7:47 Parker Stevenson, the teen years. Give me that. Give me that. Parker Stevenson, the teen years. Oh, my gosh.

7:55 No. Yay.

7:57 What are you talking about? That's so cute. Oh, my gosh. So cute. I mean, come on. So cute. I get it. The hair is very 70s and weird.

8:07 Yeah.

8:08 No, thank you.

8:09 Who else did I love? Like, let me think.

8:12 This is mine, DiCaprio.

8:14 He looks exactly the same, I think, just younger here.

8:17 Romeo and Juliet, Leonardo DiCaprio.

8:29 Dude, David Hasselhoff, Knight Rider. Let's see how we feel about that. Not now, Knight Rider. I mean, come on, come on.

8:40 What is that pose? I feel like he's like Penn and Teller. Oh my gosh.

8:50 Who else did I just like love?

8:51 He just needs a lion next to him.

8:56 I'm trying to think who else I just like absolutely loved in my teen years. Oh, Tom Cruise. Do Tom Cruise.

9:02 Tom Cruise is still a babe. He's still a babe.

9:06 I never saw the appeal with him. Don't do Tom Cruise teen years. Do Tom Cruise Top Gun. Oh my gosh, I just watched it last night. I'm sorry. Look at that.

9:18 You know, okay, this is a hot take. Tom Cruise in the Top Gun sequel is hotter to me than back in the day.

9:27 Agreed. I just think he's hot all around. You know who people love? Do Val Kilmer Top Gun. Oh yes, Val Kilmer. He was... No. What? Girls in my high school were... losing their minds.

9:42 He looks like Dean from off campus.

9:47 Oh yeah. Which one's Dean and off campus? The blonde one. No, no, no, no, no, no.

9:54 He literally does. Amy, what are you talking about? Google Dean off campus.

9:57 Yeah. I know the one that's going to be in the new, that movie. This is like. Oh, he played Top Gun too.

10:06 He was Maverick and off campus.

10:08 You know, he's going to be in. Okay. So, you know, that movie with Sidney Sweeney and the other girl, and then the guy is bad. Come on. Housemaid.

10:19 Oh, yes.

10:19 Housemaid. This guy's in Housemaid, too. Yes, he is.

10:23 Yeah. Yeah. They just announced it.

10:25 I mean, he's got some glossy arms there. Sweaty, glossy arms.

10:30 Wow.

10:30 All right. Well, let's play this game. We've only got a few minutes. Okay.

10:32 Here's some trivia.

10:33 Okay.

10:34 That was a fun game, though.

10:35 And so, Lo, if you know the answer, you chime in and you say. Okay.

10:41 Okay. My eyes are so bad. Where does Rory accidentally leave the homemade bracelet Dean gave her? I mean, come on, you guys. This is so easy. At her dorm?

10:54 No, she wasn't. No, she wasn't.

10:57 She wasn't in college yet.

10:59 Yeah. This makes me sad for you guys. People at home are screaming right now. On the bridge. Wait, doesn't she?

11:07 Oh.

11:07 Oh, on the bridge with Jess. With Jess when she went to a picnic. The bit on the basket.

11:12 Oh my goodness.

11:13 Which actor said his first professional audition was for Gilmore Girls? Chris Pratt or Chris Pine?

11:21 Pine. Pine. Correct. I remember that.

11:23 Who's hot? Who is hot? Chris Pine. All the Chris's are hot. Like, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the Chris's. Hemsworth, Evans, Pratt, Pine. Whoever.

11:36 Somebody else.

11:38 According to Richard's mother, Trix, which rock band did she rent out her Connecticut home to?

11:43 The Go-Go's.

11:43 We've had this question before.

11:44 Oh, no. The Go-Go's.

11:47 It was like a heavy metal rock band. Jackie's better. Jackie's better.

11:51 It's a heavy metal rock band.

11:52 Bangles and Go-Go's were actually like, or Bangles were featured in the show. It's a heavy metal rock band.

11:59 Corn.

12:00 During Rory's escapade with the Life and Death Brigade, my favorite episode, she's supposed to speak without using which vowel? Oh, remember, I can't even do it because remember we... It's giving me a glitch because we tried it for a minute and then my brain was getting all stressed. I got to move on fast. Why is Dean late for his first date with Rory? Come on.

12:21 Was there dinner? I was in the car.

12:23 Babette stopped him. He was like, sidelined by Babette. This is pathetic, if I may say.

12:30 Sorry, we're almost reaching season five.

12:32 I haven't gotten to Logan yet. This is so bad. Why does Sookie, excuse me, why does Sookie get pregnant for the third time after Jackson was supposed to have a vasectomy? That's so easy. Because he didn't have a vasectomy. Thank you, Jack. He didn't get the vasectomy. Oh my God. I am concerned about you guys. Wait.

12:54 That sounded like a trick question.

12:56 That sounded like a trick question. Well, it wasn't.

12:58 It wasn't.

12:59 It wasn't a trick question. I'm worried. Everybody needs to study up.

13:05 I'm on seasons one through five right now. Me and Scott are at 503. So that's where I'm at right now. So you've just got five, six, seven.

13:14 Yes.

13:15 So we're almost, I'm on the second. I know the first half because I've watched them now two times. Well, you didn't because you missed some. I did.

13:22 That's okay.

13:23 That's all right. Look, trivia doesn't mean you're not a fan.

13:26 Yeah, I am not good at trivia.

13:27 I love the teen idol game.

13:29 I like regular trivia. Like pop culture ones would be fun. Like aside from Gilmore Girls.

13:35 I will crush anyone on pop culture trivia. You should go on that show, The Jeopardy One. I wouldn't be able to do it because I'd be so like staring at Colin Jost. My brain wouldn't work.

13:44 You know, here's my thing. I'm not good at trivia, but put me on Family Feud, baby, and I will rock it.

13:50 I love Family Feud. I got a Family Feud game because I wanted to, you know, top seven answers on the board. I'll do one with you guys. Hold on.

13:59 Well, then let's do that next week.

14:00 Are we out of time today?

14:02 We are out of time for today.

14:07 Next week. Can we do a game soon again and listen if you want to?

14:10 Sure.

14:10 Sure.

14:12 It's fun.

14:13 Pyramid is always fun. Like, can we do another pyramid?

14:16 Yes. And we haven't been doing sale the century. We have so many games here.

14:19 Let's do it.

14:20 Bought them all. Okay. Well, and that's the news. Send us your teen idols, please. Who did I, I forgot so many.

14:29 I miss pretty Prince jr. I got to throw them in there.

14:33 Wasn't a teen idol, but like his baseball idols. Baseball idol. He was pretty hunky during Gilmore Girls.

14:40 Scott was hunky. I got to give it to him.

14:42 Yeah. He always played baseball. There should be a different game. It's called Hot Old Guys because Bradley Whitford. Hello. And Slattery, John Slattery, Hot Old Guys. Slattery, yes. Way to play the game. Ham. Hot Old Guys. Ham, the hamster. Clooney, still hot. Here's what I'm happy about with George right now.

15:05 He's been doing some press for something and I saw him in a tan suit, no socks. And I'm happy to see it because I was worried about George getting a little grandpa pants. His jeans were looking a little dad jeans. Nope, he still got it. He still got it. Bye-bye.
