Speaker 1: for Laurel I and asked Patty where she might be.
Speaker 1: Is Laura I pretends not to be home, hiding in
Speaker 1: Rory's room, Luke, No, she's not. At the end, I
Speaker 1: tried the n miss Patty. Well, I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: half the people's half the time people speak to me.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Beryshnakov. Did you see Turning Point? In
Speaker 1: Turning Point nineteen seventy seven, films centered on the world
Speaker 1: of ballet in New York City. The film stars Sheerlan
Speaker 1: McLay and Anne Bancroft, along with Leslie Brown and Mkale

Speaker 1: Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Did you know? Mikhal Berishnikoff
Speaker 1: played Carrie's boyfriend Alexander Petrowski on season six of six
Speaker 1: in the City. I did not watch that show, so
Speaker 1: I did not know that. Susane Froch.
Speaker 5: After being shown the building that is going to have
Speaker 5: her name across the front of it, Rory decides that
Speaker 5: she would like to leave. Laura, I says, honey, come on,
Speaker 5: we have teased you way worse than this before. Remember
Speaker 5: when you were ten and you thought you discovered You Two?
Speaker 1: That was a good one.
Speaker 5: Yeah. You Two are an Irish rock band formed in
Speaker 5: Dublin nineteen seventy six. The group consists of Bono the Edge,
Speaker 5: Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Junior.
Speaker 2: Did you know?
Speaker 5: Bonna was the only person who has been nominated for
Speaker 5: an Oscar Grammy, Golden Globe and for the Nobel Prize.
Speaker 1: Wow, Emily Richard are discussing how oh, I'm so sorry, Taras.
Speaker 4: Oh, It's cool, it's you sure?
Speaker 1: Apology?
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right?
Speaker 3: There are a lot of musicians. In this episode, I
Speaker 3: just I mean, we're just realized. Emily and Richard are
Speaker 3: discussing how funny Lenny's mother is. Emily says, it's so
Speaker 3: important to find someone who can make you laugh. I
Speaker 3: was always so envious of Johnny Carson's wives. I just
Speaker 3: thought these women must do nothing but laugh all the time.
Speaker 3: Johnny Carson and was a television host, comedian, writer, and producer.
Speaker 3: He's best known as the host of the Tonight Show
Speaker 3: with Johnny Carson. Carson received six Primetime Emmy Awards, the
Speaker 3: Television Academy's nineteen eighty Governor's Award, and the nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: five Peabody Award. And did you know When he announced
Speaker 3: his impending retirement, there was fierce competition between David Letterman
Speaker 3: and Jay Leno to be his Tonight Show successor. Leno
Speaker 3: eventually won the coveted spot, and an angry Letterman moved
Speaker 3: over to rival networks CBS to host a competing show Boor.
Speaker 1: David was angry. Yeah, he was really pissed, wasn't. He
Speaker 1: was very pissed, But he wasn't. He wasn't like he
Speaker 1: wasn't the right DNA for the Tonight Show.
Speaker 4: Well, Andrew he had his own success, so I feel
Speaker 4: like it worked out.
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a whole He had a completely
Speaker 1: different demeanor as a ka. I mean, he was just
Speaker 1: like mean to people, you know, that was his stick.
Speaker 1: He would just like make people feel like crap all
Speaker 1: the time, and then they'd come back with zingers and
Speaker 1: that would be his you know, his ratings. That's the
Speaker 1: controversy that because he was so nasty to people all
Speaker 1: the time. I remember when Cher told him to go
Speaker 1: f himself unlick.
Speaker 4: Oh sure, now I have to look it up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Shaer like he was messing with Cher because
Speaker 1: that was his stick. He just he was just completely
Speaker 1: rude and condescending and nasty to people. Johnny Carson was
Speaker 1: the opposite of that. He made Johnny Carson made his
Speaker 1: guests look great all the time. That was his gift.
Speaker 1: He knew how to get out of the way. He
Speaker 1: removed his ego and he's It always seemed like Johnny
Speaker 1: loved his guests and they were the funniest people in
Speaker 1: the world, and they were the most talented people in
Speaker 1: the world. And he made those people feel comfortable and
Speaker 1: great and they told great stories. Because he you know,
Speaker 1: he knew that they were nervous coming on, and Letterman
Speaker 1: used that against people, He used their against them. So
Speaker 1: I think that's primarily the reason why Letterman lost out
Speaker 1: on that. I don't know if anybody cares about my
Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys. Who wrote the
Speaker 1: Tonight Show for Johnny Carson? Johnny Carson's Tonight's Show theme song?
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know, Doc Severnson.
Speaker 5: He was a conductor.
Speaker 1: He was he was the Tonight Show band, the leader
Speaker 1: of the Tonight Show Band.
Speaker 7: Uh, I have zero I don't even know the theme song. Sorry,
Speaker 7: it was lorelized dog. Paul anka Way wrote the theme song.
Speaker 1: Comes backing. It all comes back to who's up? Does
Speaker 1: that mean? Okay? Taylor still complaining about the troubadours in town.
Speaker 1: He runs into Officer Rusk and ask him to do
Speaker 1: something about Taylor. That's right, It wasn't Officer Fife. Why
Speaker 1: did I call him Officer Fife? Taylor? Well, then line
Speaker 1: them up and have him follow you to jail. Officer Rusking, Well,
Speaker 1: I could do that, but it's single cell that it
Speaker 1: holds two maybe three if they aren't fat, And we
Speaker 1: don't have any food Taylor, Oh forget it. Barney Fife
Speaker 1: Bernard Barney Fife as a fictional character from The Andy
Speaker 1: Griffith Show, portrayed by the brilliantly talented comedic actor Don Knotts.
Speaker 1: One of the funniest and most endearing characters in television
Speaker 1: history was Barney Fife. Barney Fife is a deputy sheriff
Speaker 1: in a slow paced, sleepy southern community of Maybury, North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Did you know? Don don Knotts stopped being a regular
Speaker 1: on The Andy Griffin Show after nineteen sixty five because
Speaker 1: originally the show's producers had intended to end the series
Speaker 1: after that year. Still at a creative and popular peak,
Speaker 1: don Knotts had already signed a multi picture deal with
Speaker 1: the Universal Studios. And I saw and he did a
Speaker 1: fish called it was the Mister Limpet Film. Yeah, mister Olympet.
Speaker 1: We went to see that when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: not sidor. He sent mlt you to Universal Picture. When
Speaker 1: Griffin relented to network pressure and kept his show on
Speaker 1: the air for several more years, Don later said that
Speaker 1: he deeply regretted having to leave the show, but his
Speaker 1: film commitments prevented him from continuing as a cast regular.
Speaker 1: Nice problem to have.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Emily is trying to set up Christopher and Lenny.
Speaker 5: Christopher follows Laurel into the bathroom looking for an escape plan. Says,
Speaker 5: out of what?
Speaker 4: Christopher says, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: Out of what?
Speaker 5: This is a setup? So it seems I can't believe
Speaker 5: Emily would do this. Laurel I says, you're talking about
Speaker 5: Emily Dickinson, right, because Emily Gilmour was made to do this.
Speaker 5: Emily Dickinson was a poet little known during her life,
Speaker 5: she has since been regarded as one of the most
Speaker 5: important figures in American poetry. Did you know Emily Dickinson
Speaker 5: wrote over eighteen hundred poems in her fifty six years
Speaker 5: of life. However, only ten of those poems saw the
Speaker 5: light of day in publications.
Speaker 1: Is that that's the way it goes?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 8: All right?

Speaker 3: Laura says me, yeah, Yeah, I'm good. It was really
Speaker 3: nice meeting you. Sorry if I talked too much during dinner.
Speaker 3: Every now and then, I just feel the need to
Speaker 3: reenact certain key scenes from Purple Rain. Purple Rain is
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty four rock musical films, scored and scored
Speaker 3: by and starring Prince in his acting debut. Developed to
Speaker 3: showcase his talents, it contained several concert sequences featuring Prince
Speaker 3: and his band The Revolution.
Speaker 4: Did You Know?
Speaker 3: Albert Magnoli told Rolling Stone that when the concept was
Speaker 3: first brought to Warner Brothers, they suggested that John Travolta
Speaker 3: plays Prince.
Speaker 5: I can't picture that.
Speaker 1: You know what, he probably could have pulled off.
Speaker 3: I mean he could, but I feel like it wouldn't
Speaker 3: have the same effect that the film did.
Speaker 1: So so he would, but it would be it would
Speaker 1: have been.
Speaker 4: What it would have been. It would have been.
Speaker 1: But it was, but they would have John Travolta being
Speaker 1: print yeah.
Speaker 4: And singing those songs.
Speaker 2: No, Ama, No, that would have been John Travolta with
Speaker 2: like a different band, right, I mean Ton had.
Speaker 1: Prince's band.
Speaker 4: What what year was Grease? Because was is it kind
Speaker 4: of like right after seventy?
Speaker 5: That was in the seventies?
Speaker 3: Yeah, five, But they're probably coming off of like, oh,
Speaker 3: he's a big star from Greece, you know.
Speaker 4: I don't know actually, but to tell.
Speaker 1: The Prince story with John Travolta, I don't know. Was
Speaker 1: Prince any good in Purple Ring?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 4: They said it was his acting.
Speaker 3: I mean I don't remember it, but I've seen it,
Speaker 3: but it's Prince like it's but maybe it's because it's
Speaker 3: his acting debut.
Speaker 4: So they were like, does he actually have the skills
Speaker 4: to act? So that's my guess.
Speaker 3: So he probably was already hired to score the film.
Speaker 1: I think John Travolta would have been a much better choice.
Speaker 1: That's really Yes, he's a fantastic actor.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 1: He could have pulled on he could have pulled off
Speaker 1: the dancing, obviously, he could have done the singing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it would have would have been a better acting performance.
Speaker 1: I mean, Prince isn't an actor. You can't just step
Speaker 1: into a lead of a film and you know, expect
Speaker 1: to do what a John Travolta can do.
Speaker 3: I just don't think that those songs would be as
Speaker 3: big today.
Speaker 4: If it was John Travolta could.
Speaker 1: Have been bigger. Maybe we would have been taught.
Speaker 4: We'll never know, we'll know.
Speaker 1: That's interesting.
Speaker 5: You're making a good effort there, But yeah.
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard for John Travolta to push the
Speaker 1: Prince brand, which is the point of him starting the movie.
Speaker 1: Yet Rory is sending Logan off to London with a
Speaker 1: couple of tears. Rory, I keep trying to think of
Speaker 1: fabulous things to say, but all I can think is
Speaker 1: say hi to William and Harry for me. Logan says,
Speaker 1: I love you. As William, Prince of Wales is the
Speaker 1: heir apparent of the British throne. He is the elder
Speaker 1: son of King Charles the Third and Diana, Princess of Wales.
Speaker 1: May she rest in peace. Prince Harry is William's younger brother,
Speaker 1: who left the royal family in two thousand and twenty.
Speaker 1: Did you know a few days ago Harry lost his
Speaker 1: legal challenge to have police security in the UK. Duke
Speaker 1: of Sussex had argued that he should have automatic protection
Speaker 1: for himself as his family whenever they've visited the UK
Speaker 1: from their home in California. He still has the title,
Speaker 1: but not officially. They can't call him royal anymore except
Speaker 1: a royal pain in the tushy?
Speaker 4: Do you what I just recently learned about?
Speaker 3: I learned that the royal family doesn't really have last names,
Speaker 3: Like they're a part of a house, Like he's a
Speaker 3: part of the Windsor house, but like his name's not
Speaker 3: like Harry Windsor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did not.
Speaker 5: I was, I guess if your royalty you don't need it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's you're gonna get confused with anyone else.
Speaker 3: Duke of Sussex, I guess is your title? But yeah,
Speaker 3: I was like I was looking it up. I'm like,
Speaker 3: what's the last name?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I wonder, what's on his driver's license.

Speaker 1: grew his hair.
Speaker 3: Like, imagine pulling up the house and Prince Harry just
Speaker 3: gets into your car.
Speaker 1: I'd say, dude, dude, what's it feel like? You know,
Speaker 1: like Chuck Connors and branded to get stripped of all
