Hellooooo, listeners! You’re looking swell, listeners! We’re back for another ep, and this time we’re asking the age old question: Which is worse—Louis talk or baby talk? Either way, we’re Louis talkin’ and baby talkin’ the 1969 musical Hello, Dolly!, which stars our fave, Barbra Streisand (still queen!). Why was this the most expensive musical made to date? Why did Louis Armstrong have such a distinct voice? And why in the world does Lorelai try to mimic it when talkin’ to Luke? Plus, we recap the Gilmore-iest moments from the Oscars, and Taylor has finally started The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 2, which means we’re talkin’ a perfect tie-in between Barbra, Midge, and Lorelai.
SO IT’S A SONG? “Just Leave Everything to Me”
