Speaker 1: Tara, you're up all right?
Speaker 7: So Rory calls Lorlia with some news. Rory says, Hey,
Speaker 7: you're not going to believe this. Okay, hold on, believe
Speaker 7: what Milan Condera is speaking at our graduation. Laurai says, oh,
Speaker 7: Rory says, what, You're not a big Condera fan? Melon
Speaker 7: coonderas a novelist, and his best known work being The
Speaker 7: Unbearable Lightness of Being And did you know? In nine
Speaker 7: seventy five, Milan Kundera left his hometown of Czechoslovakia for
Speaker 7: France for what was supposed to be a short stint,
Speaker 7: and then did not go back. The Communist government stripped
Speaker 7: his citizenship in nineteen seventy nine, and he ended up
Speaker 7: becoming a French citizen in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 4: I don't think he was disappointed that the Communist government
Speaker 4: stripped him of his citizenship.
Speaker 5: It was like, good, I'll do this song because it
Speaker 5: debunks mine. Justin Timberlakeman. Anyways, Taylor gives Kirk the Florida
Speaker 5: Explain Kirk in a box, Miss Patty says, and what
Speaker 5: exactly is Kirk in a box? Kirk says, I will
Speaker 5: be suspended twenty feet above the street in a clear,
Speaker 5: looseight box with no food or water. Laureli says, oh
Speaker 5: like David Blaine. David Blaine is a magician and mentalist
Speaker 5: from New York City, gaining prominence in nineteen ninety seven
Speaker 5: when his TV special David Blaine Street Magic aired on EBC.
Speaker 5: Did you know? He is known for his dangerous stunts,
Speaker 5: and in two thousand and eight, he attempted to break
Speaker 5: the Guinness World Record for whole breath holding. He succeeded
Speaker 5: in holding his breath for seventeen minutes and four seconds,
Speaker 5: setting a new one. Is that possible?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: I mean can you be alive?
Speaker 1: I mean oxygen?
Speaker 2: After that? It is alive.
Speaker 1: So if he if he trained at altitude and his minutes,
Speaker 1: that's crazy.
Speaker 2: Wow, threw new lung cells? Can that happen?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, that's what happens when you moved out. You know,
Speaker 4: if you move above five six thousand feet, your lungs
Speaker 4: will generate new cells.
Speaker 3: My brain is learning new things because of menopause. Okay,
Speaker 3: is it my turn?
Speaker 2: It is. It's true.
Speaker 4: My whole brain is like like a medical show at
Speaker 4: this point, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like Chris gets a message on his phone at Rory's
Speaker 3: graduation party, standing next to Lorelai. Oh, it's the babies
Speaker 3: that are checking to see if Gigi can watch an
Speaker 3: hour of I don't think she's ready for Pussycat Dolls.
Speaker 2: I'll be right back.
Speaker 3: The Pussycat Dolls were a girl group founded in nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety five in La by Robin Anton as a burlesque group.
Speaker 3: The most famous singer was Nicole Scherzinger. They achieved success
Speaker 3: with the singles don't You SYNDI with You and Buttons
Speaker 3: is that putting all My button?
Speaker 1: Baby?
Speaker 2: And don't you.
Speaker 5: Don't you wish your coir friend list? Huh like me?
Speaker 2: Don't you don't you?
Speaker 3: The group decided to take a break in twenty ten
Speaker 3: to pursue individual projects, reunited after nearly a decade apart
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen and embarked on a reunion tour.
Speaker 2: I have no memory of that either. Wow, okay, okay.
Speaker 6: Laurai, Emily, and Richard discussed the speaker after Rory's graduation.
Speaker 6: Laura I says, maybe it's just a cultural thing. Maybe
Speaker 6: Milan Kundera is like the Robin Williams of the Czech Republic.
Speaker 6: Emily says, with that voice so soporific, it was as
Speaker 6: if you were trying to perform a mass hypnosis. Laura
Speaker 6: I says, well, we should hurry up if we want
Speaker 6: to get good seats to watch Rory get her diploma.
Speaker 6: Emily says, my point is, with all the potential speakers
Speaker 6: out there, why choose someone so dull? Laura I says,
Speaker 6: you know, for a while Rory said they were considering
Speaker 6: Henry Winkler. That would have been meat. Who do you
Speaker 6: mean Henry Kissinger? Not unless he played the fawns. That
Speaker 6: was a funny line. Robin Williams was an iconic actor
Speaker 6: and comedian known for his improvisational skills and the wide
Speaker 6: variety of characters he created. Henry Winkler is a distinguished
Speaker 6: actor and is widely known for his role as Arthur
Speaker 6: Phonsie Fonzarelli on Happy Days.
Speaker 3: I jump in and tell you guys, something quite interesting
Speaker 3: about Henry Winkler being mentioned with Robin Williams in this
Speaker 3: No Sorry guy, Morgan Mindy, which is sort of what
Speaker 3: really made Robin Williams go into you know, superstar status
Speaker 3: was a spin off of Happy Days, and Robin Williams
Speaker 3: scenes were all with mostly Henry Winkler and Ron Howard
Speaker 3: in Happy Days.
Speaker 2: So just saying, yep, just saying.
Speaker 6: That is true. Henry Kissinger was a diplomat and political
Speaker 6: scientist who served as the United States Secretary of State
Speaker 6: from nineteen seventy three to nineteen seventy seven. Did you
Speaker 6: know that while Phonsie was known for his motorcycle on
Speaker 6: Happy Days, Henry Winkler actually only rode the bike for
Speaker 6: about seventeen seconds. At one point, Henry was on the
Speaker 6: sound stage on the bike, with his only job being
Speaker 6: to rev the engine and take the bike about five feet.
Speaker 6: He ended up crashing the cycle and never truly never
Speaker 6: rode it again.
Speaker 2: But let me tell you guys something. He did the
Speaker 2: water skime.
Speaker 3: So you know in the famous or infamous episode of
Speaker 3: jumping the shark.
Speaker 2: Now, they would not let him jump.
Speaker 3: The shark because that was too dangerous, but he did
Speaker 3: all the rest of the water skiing because he grew
Speaker 3: up water skiing.
Speaker 2: Come on, yes, yes, Henry Winkler.
Speaker 3: Also, may I say for those wondering Henry Winkler's likely
Speaker 3: And I think I've said this before. The nicest person
Speaker 3: you will ever meet, likely.
Speaker 1: I met somebody even nicer. Ron Howard, John Ritter.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, Henry Winkler's best friend.
Speaker 2: It totally makes sense.
Speaker 1: Just yeah.
Speaker 6: I cried and cried when John Ritter died. It was
Speaker 6: very awful.
Speaker 3: He could not have been nicer. Also, but I will
Speaker 3: say I think it's a neck and neck. I think
Speaker 3: it's neck and neck between Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, John Ridder,
Speaker 3: all three of whom are like great friends.
Speaker 1: Birds of a feather, birds of a feather.
Speaker 3: That's why all of us are such good friends, because
Speaker 3: we're all caustic and snarky and sarcasm. Emily is having
Speaker 3: a hard time with her faulty chair at Rory's graduation. Emily,
Speaker 3: your chair is fine. Just don't lean, says Richard.
Speaker 2: I have to lean.
Speaker 3: This woman keeps rocking back and forth. It's like sitting
Speaker 3: behind Ray Charles.
Speaker 5: I was so messed up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look I understand it because Ray Charles did do
Speaker 3: that while he was playing music, but it was it
Speaker 3: jarred me.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: He was the butt of all of those blind it
Speaker 1: was either Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles with a butt
Speaker 1: of all of the blind jokes when I was growing up,
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, if you can take anything
Speaker 1: positive from it, which is difficult, is that they were
Speaker 1: so famous. They were so ubiquitously famous. Yeah, because they
Speaker 1: were so talented.
Speaker 3: So have you seen Stevie Wonder when he's driving the car,
Speaker 3: he literally, who is that with? It's like with Ellen
Speaker 3: Degenerous or somebody like that, and he's fully driving. Ray
Speaker 3: Charles was a pianist and blue singer known for the
Speaker 3: nineteen sixties hit Georgia On. I mean, he's about one
Speaker 3: million times more than that, but.
Speaker 2: That's all right.
Speaker 3: Ray Charles lost his sight at the age of seven,
Speaker 3: and doctors later suggested suggested that juvenile glaucoma had caused
Speaker 3: his blindness. Oh god, terrible, Well on that terrible note.
Speaker 3: That's like, we need to come up with something good
Speaker 3: to say.
Speaker 2: We can't end on that.
Speaker 3: That's the second to last pop culture, second to last,
Speaker 3: except for.
Speaker 2: We will do pop culture with the movies.
Speaker 3: So it's the second to last of the first run
Speaker 3: of the series.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Blah.
Speaker 4: When did we start this podcast? Like nineteen forty three,
Speaker 4: this thing has been running.
Speaker 1: We start this in the early.
Speaker 3: Forties, twenty did we start this in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Or twenty twenty one, twenty one?
Speaker 3: And I know we tell this story all the time,
Speaker 3: but I still love why Scott got stuck with us.
Speaker 5: Like zero dollars to pay anyone.
Speaker 2: Else We have no money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but hey, that's you know, to my benefit, and
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, the big.
Speaker 3: Bosses, first of all, right, let me tell you another story, Scott.
Speaker 4: I think that's why it's lasted so long is because
Speaker 4: you guys bring such great observations and personality and great
Speaker 4: varying personalities to the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: It's fun another funny story. So we had to go
Speaker 3: to like the big bosses at iHeart to be like, hey,
Speaker 3: we want to do this Gilmore Girls show, Scott Patterson
Speaker 3: blah blah.
Speaker 2: And they didn't say no.
Speaker 3: They were like, okay, yes, and like they gave us
Speaker 3: the money we needed and they like did the deal
Speaker 3: and the whole thing, but they definitely were like, we
Speaker 3: don't think it's gonna be that popular. And then they
Speaker 3: said to me, if you do this show, like they
Speaker 3: made me take on this other show. We'll let you
Speaker 3: do your guilt, your little Gilmore girls.
Speaker 2: Idea write something to that effect.
Speaker 3: But I'm like fine, Like I was like, I'll do
Speaker 3: what ever it takes, right, So now I have.
Speaker 2: To do double the work for zero dollars, right, like
