Last week, we posed our own "What If Lorelai Gilmore...?"s from Seasons 1-3 on-pod and we had some besties call in with thoughts, perspective, and new what-ifs of their own! What if Lorelai had married Chris when she was 16 and he had partial custody of Rory? What if Lorelai came back into Rory's life when she was 16 after being raised by Richard and Emily?

Last week, we went through all of your Gilmore inspired have you evers and this week some besties called in with some of theirs. Thanks to everyone brave enough to call in with their stories! One bestie witnessed a slightly too long pause before I do. Another didn’t have Lane’s floorboards to hide her contraband, so she got creative. And our last bestie maybe made an “I love you” situation a bit complicated on accident.
