Speaker 3: like fifty things, everyone has technical problems, and then we're
Speaker 3: just like, all right, let's just go.
Speaker 4: It's like, let's just start.
Speaker 3: Anyone that things were like an organized professional group is
Speaker 3: so mistaken.
Speaker 4: And you would think, like, after all this time, we'd
Speaker 4: have like all the tech stuff figured out.
Speaker 3: Scott's like, why is this cordal curly? Why is this
Speaker 3: cordal curly?
Speaker 4: Let me try and straight and do I sound good?

Speaker 1: using my own computer now. So yeah, Actually, your hackers
Speaker 1: come on in. Oh you teen hackers in Europe and Australia,
Speaker 1: go ahead the way.
Speaker 3: I won't even talk about it right now because people
Speaker 3: get so irritated when we side talk. But that Vegas
Speaker 3: hacking was crazy.
Speaker 4: Oh my, my dad was there the weekend it happened,
Speaker 4: so he we had it. We have a condo in
Speaker 4: Vegas and with all that flooding, the roof caved in.
Speaker 3: Oh, so he had to go deal with it.
Speaker 4: So we had to go deal with it. And he
Speaker 4: was staying at I don't know which resort. It was
Speaker 4: an MGM resort and he was there for one night
Speaker 4: and he got a five hundred dollars charge for the
Speaker 4: mini bar and he was like, he's like what in
Speaker 4: the world. So we called and he's like, hey, this
Speaker 4: is a mistake and they were like, no worries, like
Speaker 4: we'll take care of it. And then that's when the
Speaker 4: day of the the news came out that the hack.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, yeah, bananas. Anyway, we digress. Don't write
Speaker 3: us letters?
Speaker 1: All right? Kids? You want to get you want to
Speaker 1: you want to start digging into this?
Speaker 3: Definitely you want me to start this. I'm not at
Speaker 3: doing funky town.
Speaker 1: Come on, man.
Speaker 3: This was actually one of my favorite parts of the
Speaker 3: episode because so Loralai rushes Luke out of the diner
Speaker 3: to celebrate their engagement and lives to this, where are
Speaker 3: we going to funky town? And then tell the best
Speaker 3: part of it is the couple lines after when she's like,
Speaker 3: was it the funky tone? Was it fun?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 3: Funky Down is a song by Lips Inc. And it
Speaker 3: was released by Casablanca Records in March nineteen eighty. Laurelai
Speaker 3: makes this reference because the lyrics of the song pine
Speaker 3: for a metaphorical place that will keep me moving, keep
Speaker 3: me grooven with some energy. I never I mean, I
Speaker 3: just always think about won't you take me too? Funky?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Man, that song doesn't get you move in your
Speaker 1: battery powered laurel I telling Taylor that she and Luke
Speaker 1: are engaged. Taylor, I thought there was a better chance
Speaker 1: of all for the Beatles getting back together than you
Speaker 1: two ever calming down long enough to get engaged. In
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy McCartney Paul McCartney said in a press release
Speaker 1: that he was no longer working with the group, which
Speaker 1: sparked a widespread media reaction and worsened a tension between
Speaker 1: him and his bandmates. Let's just call it what it is.
Speaker 1: John Lennon Leal and you know at that time George
Speaker 1: Harrison wanted out too. He couldn't because they weren't using
Speaker 1: his songs.
Speaker 3: You know this, didn't he write some of the best songs.
Speaker 1: I think they rejected songs like my guitar gently weeps
Speaker 1: and like really like massive songs. And they didn't. They
Speaker 1: just dominated. John and Paul dominated the songwriting. Georgia had
Speaker 1: enough anyway, legal disputes he got so well. Legal disputes
Speaker 1: continued long after his announcement, and the disillusion was not
Speaker 1: formalized until December twenty ninth, nineteen seventy four. After Lenin's
Speaker 1: murder tragic murder in nineteen eighty I'll never forget that day.
Speaker 1: The surviving members reunited for the Anthology project in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety four, using the unfinished Lenin demos Free as a
Speaker 1: Bird and Real Love as the basis for new songs
Speaker 1: recorded and released as the Beatles. Interesting, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they were together. They were together since. I mean they
Speaker 1: were together fourteen fifteen years since, like fifty five or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 3: I saw Paul McCartney live who did You Really? Yeah?
Speaker 3: At my in Berkeley at the Football Stadium, and it
Speaker 3: was rad. I'm not gonna lie. It was very rare.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: They made a demo tape for a record company after
Speaker 1: I think after they'd played in Hamburg for a little while,
Speaker 1: because they went to Hamburg all as like teenagers except
Speaker 1: for I think Ringo was twenty and they were so
Speaker 1: tight as a band. They went make this demo tape
Speaker 1: I think in London and they didn't get the record deal.
Speaker 1: And you should hear the demo tape. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's fantastic.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine the people to turn them down?
Speaker 1: Oh god, can you imagine? Did they have jobs after that? Well?
Speaker 1: Who knows? Tyr you want to grab one? Are you
Speaker 1: busy producing a.
Speaker 4: Little multitasking here today?
Speaker 1: Let's do it all right?
Speaker 4: So Luke is looking for alcohol to toast with. Luke
Speaker 4: says nothing, no wine, no beer, no cooking Sherry. It's
Speaker 4: like Dylan Thomas just blew through town. Dylan Thomas was
Speaker 4: a Welsh poet and writer whose works include the poems
Speaker 4: do Not Go Gentle Into That good Night and Death
Speaker 4: Shall Have No Dominion, as well as the play for
Speaker 4: Voices Under milk Wood, The Bikers in Town Wipe tailor Supply.
Speaker 4: So Luke compares the bikers to Dylan Thomas because he
Speaker 4: was an alcoholic.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have got that one. I didn't get that one.
Speaker 3: Rory asked how Laura Lai handled the news. You know
Speaker 3: your mother, Rory. Everything's the end of the world, so
Speaker 3: dramatic ladies and gentlemen. Lauraai Barrymore, which I actually did
Speaker 3: laugh because I got this reference because it has to
Speaker 3: do with It's not Drew Barrymore, it's actually her.
Speaker 1: Father, I think also Lionel.
Speaker 3: No her father, it's all the barrymorees. I think they
Speaker 3: all kind of had drama. So this one might in
Speaker 3: fact be referencing Drew, but when I took it, I
Speaker 3: took it as the other Barrymore. But anyway, we'll talk about.
Speaker 1: Drew Wellore was that great Shakespearean actor or the grandfather
Speaker 1: or the great grandfather. But yeah, they were yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the that's the grandfather. I think we
Speaker 3: had to go through the family tree. But they might
Speaker 3: have been referencing Drew Barrymore because she had sort of
Speaker 3: that tumultuous, dramatic teenage years. So she was an et
Speaker 3: as everybody knows, she was girty, and then she went
Speaker 3: on to do more I think fire Starter, I can't
Speaker 3: remember which came first, but then she had those rough
Speaker 3: teenage years where she was kind of bad. And remember
Speaker 3: she was like in clubs. She was at oh my god,
Speaker 3: what's that big famous club that was in New York
Speaker 3: something fifty.
Speaker 1: Two of Studio fifty four, Studio.
Speaker 3: Fifty more when she was like six years old. And
Speaker 3: then remember she flash David Letterman. So anyway, it's in
Speaker 3: references sort of to me, the Barrymore sort of family
Speaker 3: and all the drama, which is ironic because through Barrymore
Speaker 3: just recently got herself into a little hot water. I
Speaker 3: was going to say with the strike, because she was
Speaker 3: going to bring her show back. Then she apologized but
Speaker 3: was still going to bring it back. Then people kind
Speaker 3: of dragged her so much that now she didn't bring
Speaker 3: it back.
Speaker 4: I feel like her intentions were there though, because she
Speaker 4: was saying, like her staff, you know, needs to get
Speaker 4: paid and stuff like that. Wasn't that the main Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think it's.
Speaker 3: Tough because these people don't know what to do. It
Speaker 3: seems like people are much happier with this decision.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we were shooting on Sullivan's crossing,
Speaker 1: but it's because it's Canadian show, right, and.
Speaker 3: You have a waiver which people shouldn't know.
Speaker 1: Well, sure, and they gave way. They give waivers to
Speaker 1: a lot of productions that are foreign, right, but maybe
Speaker 1: have one or two Americans in the cares the American strike, right,
Speaker 1: if Chad and I struck, you know, if we went
Speaker 1: on strike, this production would shut down.
Speaker 3: And it's unstruck work because it's not right. It's not
Speaker 3: a sag it's a Canadian.
Speaker 1: Show correct, correct, But it would if we if we
Speaker 1: went on strike, you know, that would put you know,
Speaker 1: hundreds of Canadians out of work. But you want to
Speaker 1: have solidarity, and then you know, it's just like walking
Speaker 1: that fine line. What's what do you do?
Speaker 3: That's exactly right? It's very kind of confusing what you're
Speaker 3: supposed to do. I mean, luckily you guys are not
Speaker 3: You've got you're good to do it. H Yeah, and
Speaker 3: we will be watching it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But you know, to our brothers and sisters out there,
Speaker 1: we support you one percent. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's tough. It's really tough. And it's going on a
Speaker 3: really long time.
Speaker 1: I mean, they have a fund where people you know,
Speaker 1: have to stand in line for you know, hours to
Speaker 1: get a couple hundred bucks worth of groceries. It's it's
Speaker 1: in burbankers in the sweltering heat. It's really tough out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I hope we can get a fair deal. I
Speaker 1: really do. It's really important for so many people, so
Speaker 1: many creatives, you know, it really really is. So anyway,
Speaker 1: well on to start.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, Amy, this one I just did.
Speaker 3: I think this is Scott.
Speaker 1: I want to do one story the intercom Emily would
Speaker 1: just push a button away like Star Tracks. Star Trek
Speaker 1: is an American science fiction media franchise created in the sixties.
Speaker 1: The television series became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon and
Speaker 1: expanded into various films, video games, novels, and comic books,
Speaker 1: becoming one of the most recognizable and highest grossing media
Speaker 1: franchise of all time. On on ship communications achieved via
Speaker 1: communicator panels.
Speaker 3: On this it was legit. It was legit. It was
Speaker 3: you know how they would talk to each other.
Speaker 1: What a show?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: And sometimes to the use of video phones. Well offship,
Speaker 1: the crew carried handheld communicators that flipped.
Speaker 3: Those were pretty legit too. Wait did you watch Star Trek?
Speaker 1: Oh? Sure everybody did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And did you watch did you watch any of
Speaker 3: the other ones since, like Star Trek the Next Generation?
Speaker 3: Like all the millions that there are now? I watched
Speaker 3: Star Trek the Next Generation? Not really, and I watched
Speaker 3: all the movies, and I watched the Chris Pine version
Speaker 3: of the movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I saw that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm into this. I love Star Trek. They obviously
Speaker 3: they use a lot of Star Trek pop culture references
Speaker 3: on Gilmour Girls. There's definitely somebody that's a big fan
Speaker 3: in the writing team, because.
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's Dan. Yeah. Between that,
Speaker 1: I don't think Amy grew up a Trecky. I think
Speaker 1: grew up a Trek.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, between that and Charlie and the
Speaker 4: Chocolate Factory.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a few that definitely Oh my gosh, the
Speaker 3: irony is the next one.
Speaker 4: Well, that's why I'll go on this one, ye. Paris
Speaker 4: tells Rory she's meeting more of Doyle's family and he's
Speaker 4: the tallest in his family. Paris says, yep, family get
Speaker 4: together is like a Lollipop Guild convention. I have to
Speaker 4: stop myself from asking how it's going at the Chocolate Factory.
Speaker 4: Paris is referring to the movie The Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 4: The Lollipop Guild was a group of munchkins in the
Speaker 4: Munchkin Country who welcomed Dorothy Gail to Oz with song
Speaker 4: and dance upon her arrival. The munchkins are very short.
Speaker 4: Paris is referring to the nineteen sixty four novel Charlie
Speaker 4: and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, which was adapted
Speaker 4: into the films Willy Wonka the Chocolate Factory in nineteen
Speaker 4: seventy one, as well as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Speaker 4: in two thousand and five. In the film, Willy Wonka
Speaker 4: has several oop balloompas working in the factory who are
Speaker 4: very short, and Paris is comparing Doyle's family to the
Speaker 4: umballumpas and the Munchkins. My goodness, and there's a new
Speaker 4: there's a new one with Timothy Shallomey coming out.
Speaker 1: Oh really, Yeah, that's great?
Speaker 4: Is he he's Yonka Willie Wonka?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, so he's the new Johnny Depp.
Speaker 4: Yeah, basically, yeah. I feel like it's gonna be good.
Speaker 4: Like I can see him in that character. I mean
Speaker 4: him in the character.
Speaker 3: I love the whole story, and there's parts that kind
Speaker 3: of creep me out. Yeah, And I got that found
Speaker 3: thing where I'm like, you know what I mean, I just.
Speaker 4: Don't know if we need an I didn't know if
Speaker 4: we need another out of picture of the movie.
Speaker 3: Paris asks Rory if Rory wants to move in with
Speaker 3: Paris and Doyle, Very, Bob, Carrol, Tedanalice minus Bob, Bob
Speaker 3: and Carol and Ted and Alice were It was in
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty nine American comedy drama, which I have never
Speaker 3: heard of, really, Natal never I know, and I know
Speaker 3: Natalie Wood and Robert Coulpe to me is from the
Speaker 3: Greatest American Hero Think Elliott Gould, who is Ross and
Speaker 3: Rachel's dad on Friends, and Diane Cannon, who is a
Speaker 3: famous Lakers fan. Those are sort of my at least
Speaker 3: I know all the players.
Speaker 1: Diane Cannon was one of the most dynamic and glamorous
Speaker 1: actresses of her time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Elliott also was in Ocean's Eleven.
Speaker 1: Yes, Elliot Cole was in at Elliott Goule was a
Speaker 1: movie star in the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 3: And Robert Colp was also.
Speaker 1: In These were these were the biggest names of their day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was the film.
Speaker 3: What was that Bill Cosby show that he was in
Speaker 3: with Robert Colp?
Speaker 1: Oh sure that was, oh that detective thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was that called? It's not Yet Smart? It's
Speaker 3: the other one?
Speaker 1: Something with a spy in it. I spy, I spy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Natalie would obviously we know and then
Speaker 3: which is still very kind of confused.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Diane Cannon. I used to see her gym all
Speaker 1: the time and no when I lived in La Yeah.
Speaker 3: And okay, keep me honest, but I think Diane Cannon's
Speaker 3: daughter m hmm, with Carrie Grant. Is that is that
Speaker 3: possibly right, Jennifer Grant? That was on nine o two
Speaker 3: on us.
Speaker 1: That is correct.
Speaker 3: Thank you for my facts, all right. Capturing the sexual
Speaker 3: revolution of the late sixties, this comedy presents two married couples,
Speaker 3: Bob and Carroll, and they're best friends, more traditional, Ted
Speaker 3: and Alice, who are free thinking and are ready for
Speaker 3: an open marriage, or so they think. Eventually, some latent
Speaker 3: sexual tension and long buried desires among the four come
Speaker 3: bubbling to the surface, or as making the joke that
Speaker 3: her living with Doyle in Paris would feel like an
Speaker 3: open relationship. Wait, this makes me want to watch Bob
Speaker 3: and Carroll.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's classic film. It's good.
Speaker 3: And I'm already wondering how it ends.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll have to see you. That was in
Speaker 1: the era of like partner swapping. Oh my god, wife
Speaker 1: and husbands.
Speaker 4: Do you remember that show wife Swap?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Is that a recent show?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be like, okay, this is what wife
Speaker 3: swap would be if you and your wife switched places
Speaker 3: with like, uh, Sally Struthers and her husband, I don't
Speaker 3: know if she has a husband, and you would be
Speaker 3: married to Sally Struthers just for a week, like no
Speaker 3: funny business, but like you would have to just learn
Speaker 3: to like kid and cook with Sally's strothers. So they'd
Speaker 3: have celebrities doing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's the the scrubbed up version of it. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Okay. So Kirk is talking about the old woman's the
Speaker 4: old Woman's ring, Kirk says, old widow Mason thought she
Speaker 4: was free to call O towards the end. Free to
Speaker 4: Call It was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits,
Speaker 4: self portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts
Speaker 4: of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed
Speaker 4: a native folk art style to explore questions of identity,
Speaker 4: post host colonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.
Speaker 3: Hm.
Speaker 1: Hm, anybody see that one?
Speaker 3: I did not, but I familiar with Free to Call,
Speaker 3: though I am very I miss that. This was that? No,
Speaker 3: you know, was that the Palma Hyak did Salma Hiak?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one she fought for for twenty years
Speaker 1: to get made or something. Yeah, I missed that one.
Speaker 1: Or we're gonna have to, you know, let's let's do
Speaker 1: a double feature. We'll do We'll do this one too.
Speaker 3: The next one I did not miss, although in hindsight
Speaker 3: I kind of wish I had.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're I think is it mean?
Speaker 3: I think Paris Helen Ali that Rory can't quit Yale
Speaker 3: it's logan that Christopher Atkins want to be is the
Speaker 3: reason she's suddenly Blue lagooning it right out of here.
Speaker 3: So this made me laugh because there is something kind
Speaker 3: of Christopher Atkins about Matt Zugree. So if you're young,
Speaker 3: you might not be as familiar with Christopher Atkins. If
Speaker 3: you're my age, you definitely had a crush on him.
Speaker 3: So Christopher Atkins is an American actor. He had this
Speaker 3: blonde hair and he starred in nineteen eighties The Blue
Speaker 3: Lagoon with Brookshields. At the time, every teenager was like
Speaker 3: watching this movie, But after watching the Brookshields documentary, I'm
Speaker 3: like it was creepy, Like it was not appropriate. Blue
Speaker 3: Lagoon is about two children who are shipwrecked on a
Speaker 3: tropical island in the South Pacific with no adults to
Speaker 3: guide them. The two make a simple life together, unaware
Speaker 3: that sexual maturity will eventually intervene, Like they eventually have
Speaker 3: a baby together, and like were they cousins, Like I
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't want to speak incorrectly, but can
Speaker 3: someone Like it was a little much and they were
Speaker 3: like way too young to be Like I don't know.
Speaker 3: The whole thing now looking back, I'm like, why did
Speaker 3: I watch this? Paris is making the blue Lagoon reference
Speaker 3: as Rory and Logan stole the yacht. He thinks they
Speaker 3: want to run off together and have their own life
Speaker 3: and no one to intervene. I'm not even sure if
Speaker 3: that's right, like quite on the nose there, but I
Speaker 3: don't know. Watch the Brookshields documentary.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmuh okay, Paris telling Laurel I that Rory can't
Speaker 1: quit Yale. Paris. I need her to be at Yale.
Speaker 1: Rory has been my only real competition since she showed
Speaker 1: up at Chilton. She is the only one who ever
Speaker 1: challenged me. She's a pace car. She's Bjorn Borg. Bjorn
Speaker 1: Borg is a Swedish former number one tennis player between
Speaker 1: seventy four and eighty one. Nineteen seventy four nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: well he became the first man in the Open era
Speaker 1: to win eleven Grand Slam single titles, with six at
Speaker 1: the French Open and five consecutively at.
Speaker 3: Did he wear Fela or no? Who were yes?

Speaker 1: No, he well, yeah, but it was really McEnroe.
Speaker 3: It was Macenroe. O.
Speaker 1: It was mac and they had epic battles and tennis,
Speaker 1: so it was it was so the Borg and McEnroe
Speaker 1: finals in Wimbledon the US Open were classic.

Speaker 3: of a thumbs up, he sends us a tennis ball?
Speaker 4: Is it tennis or is it like.
Speaker 3: A tennis ball?
Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to express through emojis, how how happy
Speaker 1: the text made me, Like, I'm so happy I could
Speaker 1: play badminton.
Speaker 4: I honestly thought that like you were gonna send like
Speaker 4: a tappy face and then accidentally hit like the emoji.
Speaker 1: Next, my manager's trying to schedule a call with me today.
Speaker 1: You know, she's in California, and yeah, so she says,
Speaker 1: how's uh, I'm gonna call you at like one o'clock.
Speaker 1: We got to talk about some things. So I sent her.
Speaker 1: I sent her a badminton racket and a shuttle, and
Speaker 1: she she types back, She goes I have no idea
Speaker 1: what this means, but I'll try you around.
Speaker 3: I'm going to just every time in our group text
Speaker 3: now when there's something instead of putting like thumbs up,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna literally send the randomnest emoji I can find,
Speaker 3: like a sandwich and.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that's what you do. That's what you do anyway.

Speaker 1: you mean, competitor. He was a fierce component in the
Speaker 1: in the wheels of the engine of professional tennis. He was,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the the crankshaft. I don't know, but

Speaker 1: never got tired. Yes, the unbeatable Swede. I like it.
