Lauren Graham (The Z-Suite, Parenthood, Gilmore Girls) is a Golden Globe-nominated actor, producer, and author. Lauren joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the day Lauren drove by Dax and thought he was Brad Pitt, giving up the ghost that she’ll ever be the kind of person that dresses like she has a real job, and having a maternal relationship with her TV mom on Gilmore Girls in the absence of her own mother. Lauren and Dax talk about both hating having their picture taken, how being a tutor for the Princeton Review was actually a racket, and the dichotomy of being a good hang. Lauren explains finding herself able to clinically think about a child the age her mom stopped being around, how being in commercials gave her a purpose as well as the illusion of being productive, and the confusion of originally thinking the title of her new show was “The Disease Suite.”Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Who is Lauren Graham and why is she on Armchair Expert?
Which I kind of am always anyway. I feel it's an illusion, but that I will finally one day reach the point where my stuff is only what I need and nothing else. And it won't bring anything in. But then you look at the jeans collection and it's like, can't stop.
How many pair of jeans do you think you have? You want Monica to go to first so you don't feel as bad?
I have a lot of jeans. I got rid of a bunch recently too. I heard a new rule, two out, one in. So if you buy something, you have to get rid of two. I'm working on that.
How many do you have? Do you fold them or do they hang? Okay.
She's about 16. What are they called? Armoires. Armoires. In her one bedroom apartment. Her entire apartment is armoires.
That's too many armoires. I know, but the closet's too small. Yeah. So I had to make more space for said jeans. Yeah. I probably have 20 pairs.
I probably have more than that. What I got rid of, which is bad, I got rid of the jeans that you would just wear to paint something. And I was like, these are all uncomfortable because they're like too fancy. Exactly.
Now I relate to that because I have several pair of jeans that I'm supposed to do work in. I see something, I'm like, oh, fuck, I was supposed to cut that down. And then I'm doing it and I'm ruining the new jeans. I'm never, ever going to go inside and get eventized for my yard job. I'm just going to ruin whatever pair of pants I have on.
I also realized it's okay to have the jeans because I need to stop thinking I'm ever dressing like a person with a real job. Because especially here, where am I going? Like a pantsy? Like blouses? Yeah, any of that. On this job, I finally played a character. May and I have a joke, which is defaulting to plaid, which has to do with wardrobe choices on most of the stuff. I mean, not Lorelai so much.
