Court is in session! The jury will now hear two arguments: were Emily and Richard Gilmore right about Rory dropping out of Yale? Or should they have gone with Lorelai’s plan?  Today, Jackie and Catherine will make the case for each party.  What could Lorelai have done better? When did Richard and Emily act too hastily? And finally, what do we wish someone would’ve told Rory? Today, we answer all those questions.  ✨ If you want more chats about Gilmore Girls, get<a href="https://www.patreon.com/GabbingGilmore" rel="nofollow"> extra bonus episodes every month</a> at <a href="http://patreon.com/gabbinggilmore" rel="nofollow">patreon.com/gabbinggilmore</a> ☕Get a free gift with some yummy “coffee coffee coffee!” at <a href="https://larryscoffee.com/gabbing" rel="nofollow">https://larryscoffee.com/gabbing</a>  🍿Download <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/free-guide-how-139564969?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink" rel="nofollow">“How to Throw a GG Watch Party - the Ultimate Guide!”</a> completely free for your next Gilmore gathering ☕ Shop our merch at https://gabbing-gilmore.printify.me/  🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table. 👋Wanna share your thoughts? <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/GabbingGilmore" rel="nofollow">Leave us a voice note here</a> at speakpipe.com/gabbinggilmore Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a>

Luke and Lorelai are one of television&#39;s greatest slow-burn romances. But would their love story have happened without Liz Danes?Okay, okay, even if you can’t stand Liz…just hear us out. This month, we’re revisiting past episodes featuring Luke and Lorelai, one of Gilmore Girls’ best couples. We have to ask: did Luke&#39;s relationship with his sister prepare him for love, responsibility, and partnership? From Luke&#39;s &#34;big brother&#34; role to his emotional growth throughout Gilmore Girls, maybe Liz had a bigger impact on Luke and Lorelai&#39;s relationship than anyone gives her credit for. ✨ If you want more chats about Gilmore Girls, get<a href="https://www.patreon.com/GabbingGilmore" rel="nofollow"> extra bonus episodes every month</a> at <a href="http://patreon.com/gabbinggilmore" rel="nofollow">patreon.com/gabbinggilmore</a> ☕Get a free gift with some yummy “coffee coffee coffee!” at <a href="https://larryscoffee.com/gabbing" rel="nofollow">https://larryscoffee.com/gabbing</a>  🍿Download <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/free-guide-how-139564969?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink" rel="nofollow">“How to Throw a GG Watch Party - the Ultimate Guide!”</a> completely free for your next Gilmore gathering ☕ Shop our merch at https://gabbing-gilmore.printify.me/  🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table. 👋Wanna share your thoughts? <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/GabbingGilmore" rel="nofollow">Leave us a voice note here</a> at speakpipe.com/gabbinggilmore Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a>

What if the residents of Stars Hollow followed in the footsteps of Luke and Jess by actually picking up a self-help book?  In today’s episode, Jackie and Catherine do a little cheeky armchair diagnosing, as they pair each Gilmore Girls character with a self-help book that could completely change their lives.

Lorelai finally agrees to go on a date with Jason Stiles! Today we discuss why - - was it the flowers and candy? Lorelai’s conflict with her parents? And then the date itself. Wow, there’s a lot to discuss! Was the private room weird? Was Lorelai selfish to complain? Does Jason Stiles know how to have any fun?  In last week’s Part 1, we discussed Jason’s wooing of Lorelai. Today’s part 2 explores all the nuttiness of their first date.  ✨ This is an excerpt of a bonus episode.

Whether you think Jason Stiles is a smarmy manipulator, a quirky charmer, or Lorelai’s most underrated boyfriend, he pursues Lorelai Gilmore pretty handily. In today’s episode, we dive into the early days of Lorelai and Jason - their chemistry, the skillful Friday Night Dinner, and of course, their epic first squabble.  Was it weird that Jason got himself invited to dinner? What does he have that Lorelai’s other love interests don’t?

Even if you’re a diehard Gilmore Girls lover, a few episodes are painful. And this is one. Today we analyze “Super Cool Party People” from season 6 - the infamous birthday party of April Nardini - and the reasons we skip it.  Even the awesome moments (Rory tells off Mitchum!) and unforgettable pop culture references (Pretty in Pink! Bonne Bell lip smackers!) can’t save this episode. Luke pushes Lorelai away, Rory weirdly shoulders a burden that isn’t hers, and Anna Nardini… well, is Anna. Grab some coffee and join us for the good and the bad, the funny and the cringey.  ✨ If you want more chats about Gilmore Girls, <a href="https://www.patreon.com/GabbingGilmore" rel="nofollow">join our Patreon, where you’ll get extra bonus episodes every month</a>.   🍿Download <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/free-guide-how-139564969?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink" rel="nofollow">“How to Throw a GG Watch Party - the Ultimate Guide!”</a> right here, completely free. ☕ Show the world that you’re a Gilmore superfan with sweatshirts, tees, tote bags and more from <a href="https://gabbing-gilmore.printify.me/" rel="nofollow">our Merch Shop</a>!  🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table. 👋Wanna share your thoughts? <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/GabbingGilmore" rel="nofollow">Leave us a voice note here</a> at speakpipe.com/gabbinggilmore 💋If you’re a fan, be a doll (in our best Babette voice) and leave a review &amp; share with a friend.

Plus, you know we can’t leave out Madeline &amp; Louise, Dean, Lindsay, Tristan, and Jess. Are they “most likely to” be prom queen? Wallflower? Or a complete rebel? Jackie &amp; Catherine reveal their own prom personas, spill a few personal stories, and share some juicy listener prom moments, too - both embarrassing and victorious!  We also hash out the best pop culture prom moments.

We’re taking a non-traditional approach to Mother’s Day this year by recognizing the aunties, godmothers, bonus moms, teachers, and coaches who help raise children.  Because, really, where would Lane Kim be without HER fairy godmother? Would she still harbor an obsession for obscure music? Would she know the taste of french fries and coffee? Would there even be a Hep Alien without Lorelai Gilmore?

83. Luke and Jess: when everything changed

Was Richard right about…college? In today’s episode, we dive into Rory Gilmore’s college application process, which was bumpy. Lorelai maintains her fierce independence - no help from Richard and Emily allowed. Meanwhile, Richard plots a secret Yale interview, and Rory is stuck in the middle!  Did Lorelai actually think Rory could apply to ONE school? And was Richard’s scheming necessary? We cover it all: college fairs, tours, Ivy league applications, backups and safeties, Paris’ sage advice to Rory, and the infamous pro-con lists they used to decide on Harvard, Yale, or Princeton.  This is a preview of a bonus episode: to access the full episode, <a href="https://www.patreon.com/GabbingGilmore" rel="nofollow">join our Patreon, where you’ll get extra bonus episodes every month</a>.   🍿Download <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/free-guide-how-139564969?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink" rel="nofollow">“How to Throw a GG Watch Party - the Ultimate Guide!”</a> right here, completely free.
