Speaker 4: is one of my favorite books. Lorla says, spiders talking
Speaker 4: to pigs. What could be better than that? Charlott's Webb
Speaker 4: is a children's book written by E. B. White and
Speaker 4: is considered a classic. The book was adapted into an
Speaker 4: animated feature and a live action film, And did you
Speaker 4: Know In Charlotte's web. In the live action movie, there
Speaker 4: were forty seven Wilbers on set because the piglets grew
Speaker 4: up so fast.
Speaker 1: You can you imagine being the pig wrangler.
Speaker 5: No, there's a lot of pigs.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of piglets.
Speaker 3: Lot.
Speaker 1: Charlotte is explaining why she missed the table manner session
Speaker 1: for the summer Cotillion. Charlotte, I'm awfully sorry about that,
Speaker 1: Missus Gilmore. My grandparents took me to account Basie tribute
Speaker 1: at Tanglewood. Count Basie was a jazz pianist, organist, bandleader,
Speaker 1: and composer. Nineteen thirty five, formed the Count Basie Orchestra
Speaker 1: and performed with them for over fifty years, at the
Speaker 1: very top.
Speaker 3: The zenith of that business.
Speaker 1: Did you know? Count Basie's most famous collaborators included Frank
Speaker 1: Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Bassi's orchestra performed with Sinatra several times.
Speaker 1: What a man, what a time.
Speaker 5: I think you should do the next one too, except your.
Speaker 1: Alley really yeah, all right too in a row. I
Speaker 1: mean we're breaking president here I go. I will need
Speaker 1: extra pay.
Speaker 3: Just letting you know.
Speaker 1: Rory is helping tutor at Paris's sat Prep program. When
Speaker 1: the timer goes off Paris, that's it pencils down. That
Speaker 1: means you, Casanova, time is up everyone else, unless your
Speaker 1: parents want to start paying overtime, which for many of
Speaker 1: you might be a good idea. A Jacomo Casanovo was
Speaker 1: a Venetian who lived from seventeen twenty five to seventeen
Speaker 1: ninety eight. He was an adventure and author. He became
Speaker 1: known as a ladies man. In his memoir, he wrote
Speaker 1: that he made love to one hundred and thirty two
Speaker 1: women hardly, hardly Wilt Chamberlain's standards. That's like Wilt Chamberlain
Speaker 1: in one in a month.
Speaker 5: I never knew his first name was Jakomo.
Speaker 1: Though, Oh no, you know, I didn't either. I thought
Speaker 1: it was Fred. His memoir has been turned into many
Speaker 1: film adaptations starring Heath Ledger, Tony Curtis, Bob Hope, Donald Sutherland.
Speaker 1: I think that Donald Sutherland was Bob Hope, Fellini Bob Hope.
Speaker 1: Not to be right, that's not, yeah, it's not.
Speaker 3: You would normally think God.
Speaker 5: To Sully the great name of Bob Hope.
Speaker 1: But yet, what Casanova? Did you know that Casanova achieved
Speaker 1: celebrity status by mingling with famous people and making himself
Speaker 1: the subject of gossip. He hobnobbed with Voltaire, Catherine the Gray,
Speaker 1: and Benjamin Franklin. Well, wow, isn't he special anyway? I think, Amy,
Speaker 1: it's this one. Let's know, I want to do this one.
Speaker 5: I was going to say this one is better for
Speaker 5: you too.
Speaker 1: It really truly is, because I've actually read Henry Miller books.
Speaker 1: Rory and Lane are in the library reading books to
Speaker 1: help out with the recent problems pregnancy and boys. Rory, well,
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be metaphorical and evocative. It's Henry Miller, Lane.
Speaker 1: Henry Miller has better stuff than that. Believe me. This
Speaker 1: is not why they banned his books. Henry Miller was
Speaker 1: a writer who published several semi autobiographical novels. His work
Speaker 1: blended personal philosophy, social critique, UH, and candid depictions of
Speaker 1: s X. His books were banned for decades in the
Speaker 1: United States. I remember in high school reading a book
Speaker 1: that has called The Time of the Assassin. It was
Speaker 1: a book about Rombo.
Speaker 5: I had never even heard of this guy until Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 1: Oh Henry Miller, really, oh wow? The book Rory is
Speaker 1: reading is called sexist The first volume is the Rosie
Speaker 1: Crucifixion Trilogy. The book is about Henry Miller's early sexual
Speaker 1: escapades in Brooklyn. Did you know Henry Miller had five wives? Shocking?
Speaker 1: I was gonna say shocker. I wasn't about to read
Speaker 1: attended church regularly. It was going to be had five wives.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
Speaker 5: This was funny. Lourlai welcomes the young girls to the
Speaker 5: inn to practice for cotillion. Is the library ready for us,
Speaker 5: Emily says Lorlai. Yes, the tables are set and the
Speaker 5: tea is brewed, and I have hired some extra poor
Speaker 5: people for the girls to look down on. Charlotte. She's
Speaker 5: the one I told you about a regular. Immagene Coka Michelle,
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I love them. They're like Madame Alexander
Speaker 5: dolls come to life.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 5: Immagene Coca was a comic actress, best known for her
Speaker 5: role on Your Show of Shows with Sid Caesar. She
Speaker 5: was nominated for five Emmy Awards and won for Best
Speaker 5: Actress in nineteen fifty one. But most people listening to
Speaker 5: this podcast know are from one of two things. Her
Speaker 5: role on The Brady Bunch, where she was to look
Speaker 5: like jan and I think Jan was kind of like
Speaker 5: bent out of shape that in earlier years she looked
Speaker 5: like Imogene Coca and it's like, come on, Jan, and
Speaker 5: she's Aunt Edna from vacation. Who the dog Pete on
Speaker 5: the sandwich?
Speaker 3: She died.
Speaker 5: They put her on top of the car.
Speaker 1: Oh, that was Imagene Coca.
Speaker 5: Yeah, these are classic imaging Coca roles that we might know.
Speaker 5: Immagene Coca survived a serious car accident in nineteen seventy
Speaker 5: three with left her without sight in her right eye.
Speaker 5: Now we also can talk about Madame Alexander Dolls. Madam
Speaker 5: Alexander Doll Company is a manufacturer of collectible dolls founded
Speaker 5: by Beatrix Alexander in nineteen twenty six. Madam Alexander created
Speaker 5: the first doll based on a licensed character, which was
Speaker 5: Scarlettlehair from the movie Gone with the Wind and.
Speaker 1: A nice fact that's a nice factory tire. Europe was
Speaker 1: the last one.
Speaker 4: There weren't that many of this.
Speaker 5: I feel like I have a theory on that they
Speaker 5: bombarded us with so many weird pop culture references, not weird,
Speaker 5: but too many that it got weird. In the one
Speaker 5: before that.
Speaker 1: Somebody was like dialog a wow, Also, this is truly
Speaker 1: one of the big reasons why everything feels off, because
Speaker 1: the pop culture references are I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 5: Really sure, they're mostly there's very few, they're very historical,
Speaker 5: and I think it's because, like you know how you
Speaker 5: said you get notes. I bet you someone gave a
Speaker 5: note like too many and then they just did nothing.
Speaker 4: I wonder also, did you notice in so far the
Speaker 4: first three episodes, there's a lot of food talk, like
Speaker 4: more than pop culture.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's like a crutch they're like when in doubt
Speaker 5: talk about food or pop culture.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like PP and J pop tarts, like we're just
Speaker 4: gonna throw like sandwiches. Like there's there was a lot
Speaker 4: of food talk.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: So Charlotte is introducing Lorelei to her grandparents. Arthur says, oh,
Speaker 4: the famous Laura I. Lorale says famous. I have to
Speaker 4: catch up on my US weeklies. Arthur says, Charlotte told
Speaker 4: us you were a card. Beverly says, she also told
Speaker 4: us that you were a delightful dining companion, like Noel
Speaker 4: Coward and Slim Keith rolled into one. Lorlai says, oh, well,
Speaker 4: she's delightful too, like Shirley Temple and Mother Teresa and
Speaker 4: someone with very good table manners rolled into one. Noel
Speaker 4: Coward was a playwright, director, an actor known for his
Speaker 4: wit and flamboyance. Slim Keith was an American socialite and
Speaker 4: fashion icon of the fifties and sixties. Slim also is
Speaker 4: featured as one of the Swans in the current Ryan
Speaker 4: Murphy show Feud Capodi Versus the Ones, and Slim is
Speaker 4: portrayed by Diane Lane in the series. Shirley Temple is
Speaker 4: an American actress, singer, dancer, and diplomat who is the
Speaker 4: Hollywood who was Hollywood's number one box office draw as
Speaker 4: a child's.
Speaker 5: Access She went on to be an ambassador to something.
Speaker 4: Yep, and I still to this day ordered Shirley Temples.
Speaker 4: And did you know the Shirley Temple drink was created
Speaker 4: when she was out at a restaurant and needed something
Speaker 4: non alcoholic to drink.
Speaker 1: That's famous.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, she was whining over her parents sipping old
Speaker 5: fashioned drinks, which also come with a signature Marashina cherry.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah the best.
Speaker 5: So the waiter created a version for her. Yeah and so,
Speaker 5: and every kid loves a Marashino cherry mm hmmm, so
Speaker 5: that's interesting. My theory on the pop culture is too
Speaker 5: much now too little, Just like Goldilocks, I can't quite
Speaker 5: get it right.
Speaker 4: There's only six I know.
Speaker 5: It's really light, but last time was so crazy.
Speaker 4: So you think week by week they're like, all right,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: They're trying to find their way. I think that's what
Speaker 5: they're trying to find their way and maybe next week
Speaker 5: will be so wonderful and s marvelous.
Speaker 1: All right, kids, that's going to wrap it up for
Speaker 1: this very lengthy marathon episode of pop culture. We will
