0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Christopher is eager to start decorating around the house as

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 2>he and Laurlai just got married in Paris. Christopher says,

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.119
<v Speaker 2>you know what else might work. One of those electronic fish.

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 2>What do they call it, the big mouth billy bass fish.

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>You know what they are? Right when somebody walks by,

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>they flap their mouths and sing songs like don't Worry,

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Be Happy and take Me to the River. Laura says,

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>you're kidding. Christopher says, I'm totally kidding, except for the

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 2>flat screen. We need a flat screen. Laura I says no,

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I'd rather have the big mouth billy bass fish. Christopher says,

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 2>what's wrong with the flat screen? Laura Lai says, it's

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 2>so Meet George Jetson his boy Elroy Leroy Billy big

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 2>mouth billy bass is an animatronic.

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 5>That's five times fast.

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, big mouth, billyish, big mouth, billy bass fish, big

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 4>mouth billy fish, big mouth. It's hard, big mouth billy

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 4>bass fish, big mouth billy fish, big mouth, MILLI screwed

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 4>it up, Milli mass fish.

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>So what Scotch has said is an animatronic singing prop

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 2>representing a large mouth bath that was popular in the

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>early two thousands. And I also have to point out

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>this is the second time we've come across this, because

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 2>there was an episode where Luke talks about having one

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and he was afraid that TJ was going to steal

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>it and the batteries. Don't Worry, Be Happy is a

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.239
<v Speaker 2>song by Bobby McFerrin. Take Me to the River is

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>a song by Al Green. The Jetsons is an animated

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>sitcom created in the nineteen sixties. Meet George Jetson His

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Boy Elroy comes from the theme song of the show. And

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>did you know that there is an alternative rock band

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>from Seattle that named themselves his Boy Elroy? After the Jetsons.

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 5>Who can I do this next one?

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 4>You certainly may, okay?

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 5>So this next one, Rory arrives at Logan's launch party

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 5>and walks by some girls gossiping, and one of the

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 5>guests says, and she showed me her ring this year

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 5>huge canary diamond looked like something Paris Hilton would wear.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 5>Paris Hilton is the great granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 5>founder of Hilton Hotels. She's also a reality star. A

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 5>lot of you may have seen The Simple Life back

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 5>in the day. Some may argue she was the first

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 5>reality TV star, and she owns her own brand, Empire

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 5>with tons of perfumes and all a bunch of stuff.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 5>In two thousand and five, Paris Hilton got engaged to

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 5>Paris Lattice with a massive twenty four carrot canary diamond

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 5>ring that was valued at four point seven million dollars.

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 5>I think everyone remembers that ring. Did you know Paris

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 5>Hilton just announced the birth of her second baby via surrogate,

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 5>named London. So now she has a baby named London

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 5>and Phoenix. And the reason why I know so much

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 5>about Paris Hilton is our team works on her podcast too,

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 5>So dada to I am Paris.

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 4>After sitting through a coworker of Logan's man splaying his

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 4>trip to Tortol, Rory hopes they never go there. Rory,

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 4>can we please never go to Tortola?

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Where is Tortola?

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 4>By the way, is that a real island? It's a

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 4>real Tola. Sounds like a made up movie.

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 5>Island, like a British version islands.

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh, Danielle, you're right, am I right?

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 3>British Virgin Islands.

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 4>Wow, my goodness, Logan, I don't even want to meet

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 4>John Chatruro or Tortolini. John Taturo is an actor and filmmaker,

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 4>and is known for frequently working with the Cohen Brothers,

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 4>Adam Sandler, and Spike Lee, not necessarily in that order

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 4>or not altogether. Did you know Spike Lee noticed and

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 4>liked John Taturo's performance in the film Five Corners John

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 4>played a psycho stalking Jody Foster's character. Actually, everybody knew

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.119
<v Speaker 4>look in the late eighties when I was doing theater

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 4>in New York, every day nobody knew about John Jaturo.

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 4>He was I think he was coming out of Yale

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 4>rep and he was doing some off Broadway productions that

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 4>everybody would go see. I think there was one he

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 4>was in with John Panco and Lauris and Jacomo called

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 4>Italian American Reconciliation. It was just thrilling to watch those

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 4>three and Taturo especially just a very very very special,

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 4>very gifted actor.

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 3>Logan continues to argue with Rory about the article she wrote.

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 3>Logan says, where do you get off acting all morally superior?

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Rory says, that is not what I intended to say

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:50.559
<v Speaker 3>at all. Logan says, you clearly think you are why

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 3>because you read Iron Weed, because you saw Norma Ray.

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Iron Weed is a nineteen eighty three novel by William

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Kennedy which takes place during the Great Depression. Norma Ray

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 3>is a nineteen seventy nine drama that is based on

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Krystalie Sutton as she tries to unionize her workplace and.

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 4>Did you Know.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Sally Field portrayed Norma Ray, which earned her an Oscar

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 3>for Best Actress. Additionally, the film received a Standing Ovation

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 3>at the Cannes Film Festival.

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 4>This is when she said when she accepted The Warrior,

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 4>you love me? You really love me, don't you write?

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.599
<v Speaker 4>When everybody's standing applotting for when she won the Oscar? Right?

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 4>Was that it?

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was something later?

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 4>Was that later?

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 4>But I mean it was that that was her first

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 4>Oscar win, right, I mean it must have been the

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 4>biggest moment of her career.

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah, I think that was a different acceptance speech though,

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 2>like for a different Oscar.

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 5>Christopher has a basket of clothes he is carrying and

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.559
<v Speaker 5>Lurla stops to go through it. She sees a shirt

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 5>that Chris has and accuses him of stealing it, and

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 5>Laura Lai says, this is my Police Synchronicity T shirt.

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 5>I've been missing this for twenty two years. Synchronicity is

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 5>the fifth album by the British rock band The Police.

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 5>The album includes hit singles every Breath You Take, King

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 5>of Pain, Wrapped Around Your Finger and did you Know.

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 5>Despite their relatively short time together as a band, they

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 5>achieved remarkable success. They have sold over seventy five million records,

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 5>making them one of the best selling bands of all time.

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Lucy and Olivia read Rory's article and have some commentary.

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Rory says it's mean. Lucy says sort of. Lynn Hirschberg meets,

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, someone really mean, and Rory said, actually,

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that was Olivia that said that, not Lucy.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 2>But Rory says, what, no, No, I'm frand Liebowitz. It's

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be fun, frothy, lighthearted satire, social anthropology. I'm

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Tama Janowitz and Olivia says, a mean Tamma Janowitz. Lynn

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Hirschberg is a journalist who has written for Rolling Stone,

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Vanity Fair, and The New York Times, and currently w magazine.

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Frand Liebowitz is an author and public speaker who is

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>known for her cynical social commentary on American life. And

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Tama Janowitz is a novelist and short story writer. Did

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 2>you know? Lynn Hirstberg wrote a piece for Vanity Fair

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>about Courtney Love where the article contained factual errors, one

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>of them misrepresenting Courtney's heroin use.

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Hmm, well, isn't that interesting that? Well?

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Luke is at the hospital with April and is switching

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 3>through TV channels. He then stops when he sees the

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 3>black and white film The Philadelphia Story starring Carry Grant

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 3>and Catherine Hepburn. So In the scene, Carrie Grant says,

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 3>two years ago, I did you out of a wedding

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 3>in this house by eloping to Maryland. This is significant

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 3>because at the end of season six, Lorelei says to

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Luke let's Elope in Maryland, and Luke at the time

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.079
<v Speaker 3>didn't know what she meant. When he returned to win

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 3>her back and said, I heard you mentioned Maryland or something. Now,

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 3>after seeing this scene, it reminded him of Lorelei and

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 3>he knows where she got it from. It makes him

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 3>sad because he knows Laurai is now married to Chris

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 3>and did you know. According to Reddit fans, they say

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 3>the premise of The Philadelphia Story is parallel to the

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 3>story of Luke and Loralai. In the film, Tracy, who's

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 3>from an aristocratic family, is getting married to George, another

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 3>wealthy type. Another wealthy type who she doesn't really love.

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Her ex husband, Dexter, who's not part of the old

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 3>money click turns up and at the end the scene

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 3>we see in Gilmore Girls, Tracy decides to marry Dexter

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 3>again instead of George. The parallels are Tracy is Loralai,

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 3>George is Christopher, and Dexter is Luke. That was in depth.

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know right, I think I got the better

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 4>character name than Dexter. I agree. That's going to wrap

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 4>it up for this brief version of pop culture. It

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 4>was short, but it was sweet, wasn't it, folks. Next

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 4>episode se An episode nine Knit, People Knit. Thank you ladies,

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.040
