Speaker 1: If yeah, um. Pat summer All died in two thousand
Speaker 1: and thirteen, and this episode came out in two thousand
Speaker 1: and three, so Pat was very much alive at the

Speaker 1: Pat right, I'm trying to think. I feel like Pat
Speaker 1: summer All hosted something that I watched. I can't figure
Speaker 1: out what it is. I think if you would have
Speaker 1: held that up to me and said, is that Pat
Speaker 1: summer All, I would have been like, maybe I did not?
Speaker 1: Was I Was I right or wrong? That's Orson Wells. Oh, Okay, um,
Speaker 1: also the magnificent Emberson. Also, if you want a good laugh, uh,
Speaker 1: you've got to look up on YouTube Orson Wells doing
Speaker 1: a commercial for a wine company. I think it was
Speaker 1: not Mogen David or something, but he was drunk off
Speaker 1: his hini doing it and they just kept doing take
Speaker 1: after take after take. So if if if you want to,
Speaker 1: if you need a good laugh, just google that anyway.
Speaker 1: Luke telling the lawyer who came to discuss his divorce
Speaker 1: papers who his legal representation is in the diner, Luke,
Speaker 1: his name is Don Dewey. He is from the firm
Speaker 1: Dewey Cheatahman. Common. A common theme in lawyer jokes is
Speaker 1: to present a lawyer or a law firm, particularly in
Speaker 1: parody settings, with a gag name, such as the commonly
Speaker 1: used Dewey Cheataman how Uh. The gag name pokes fun
Speaker 1: at the perceived propensity of legal professionals to take advantage
Speaker 1: of their clients the name of the firm, and this
Speaker 1: example is a punt on a phrase is such as
Speaker 1: do we cheat him? And how yeah? Because if you didn't,
Speaker 1: I don't have anything left? Um the empty tank on
Speaker 1: that one. Meeting Rory's sweet mate Hanna and Laurela, I

Speaker 1: but Doogie howser rocks because they didn't want to They
Speaker 1: didn't want to hire an eleven year old to do
Speaker 1: all the dialog. They Neil Patrick Harrison uncoupled. It's pretty good. Yeah.

Speaker 1: You half expect how are you Christmas? To jump out
Speaker 1: of the bathroom banging tambourines. Harry Krishna is a mystical
Speaker 1: sect of Hinduism. It is usually classified as a monotheistic

Speaker 1: are simply various manifestations of the one god, Vishnu or Krishna.
Speaker 1: Harry Krishna has often used chance and mantras while playing
Speaker 1: tambourines to bring happiness to the soul. Laurel I is
Speaker 1: referring to Luke not being like a Harry Krishna, not
Speaker 1: being loud and happy. Uh, He's a hermit and happy

Speaker 1: still in the bed of the truck. This is outside
Speaker 1: the diner, Laurel I. Uh, that's a Yale supplied mattress
Speaker 1: that has microbes in it that date back to Henry

Speaker 1: to Philadelphia. That took Oh lord, he escaped freedom or
Speaker 1: he escaped to freedom, Okay, anyway. He later moved to
Speaker 1: England because he was an escaped slave. I was afraid
Speaker 1: of being caught. In England, he earned his living as
Speaker 1: a traveling musician. I mean, this reference went completely over
Speaker 1: my head. I have never heard of this, any of this. Wow,
Speaker 1: Henry Box Brown. Yeah, that's why you know, that's for this,
Speaker 1: That's why we're here. This right, that's part of why

Speaker 1: meet Lucy, she tries to avoid embarrassment by disguising herself
Speaker 1: with a clay nose. After letting a cigarette, her nose
Speaker 1: catches fire and she quickly blows it out. A wick
Speaker 1: was placed within the clay nose to prevent Lucy's actual
Speaker 1: from catching fire. Uh. Lucille Ball improvised dipping her flamed
Speaker 1: clay nose and a cup of coffee. Many have wondered
