0:48

Lorelei Planetarium.

0:50

Before we get to our first pop culture.

0:53

Yes, we're gonna take a quick break, and then

0:55

when we come back, we're gonna dive right into this

0:57

episode's pop culture.

0:59

I'm excited, Hi

1:02

everybody, and we're back. Suzanne

1:04

French is gonna lead off the

1:06

top of the first inn and go all

1:08

right.

1:09

Christopher is eager to start decorating around

1:11

the house as he and Laurlai just got married

1:13

in Paris. Christopher says, you

1:15

know what else might work. One of those electronic

1:17

fish. What do they call it, the big mouth billy

1:20

bass fish. You know what they are? Right when

1:22

somebody walks by, they flap their mouths and sing

1:24

songs like don't Worry, Be Happy and take Me to

1:26

the River. Laura says, you're kidding.

1:29

Christopher says, I'm totally kidding, except for the flat

1:31

screen. We need a flat screen. Laura

1:33

I says no, I'd rather have the big mouth billy

1:35

bass fish. Christopher says, what's wrong

1:37

with the flat screen? Laura Lai says, it's

1:39

so Meet George Jetson his boy

1:41

Elroy Leroy Billy

1:44

big mouth billy bass is an animatronic.

1:46

That's five times fast.

1:48

Yeah, big mouth, billyish,

1:51

big mouth, billy bass fish, big mouth billy

1:54

fish, big mouth.

1:56

It's hard, big mouth billy

1:58

bass fish, big mouth billy fish, big

2:00

mouth, MILLI screwed it up,

2:04

Milli mass fish.

2:06

So what Scotch has said is an animatronic

2:09

singing prop representing a large

2:11

mouth bath that was popular in the early

2:13

two thousands. And I also have

2:16

to point out this is the second time we've

2:18

come across this, because there was an episode

2:20

where Luke talks about having one and

2:22

he was afraid that TJ was going to steal it and

2:24

the batteries. Don't

2:27

Worry, Be Happy is a song by Bobby McFerrin.

2:30

Take Me to the River is a song by Al Green.

2:32

The Jetsons is an animated sitcom created

2:35

in the nineteen sixties. Meet George Jetson

2:37

His Boy Elroy comes from the theme song

2:39

of the show. And did you know that

2:41

there is an alternative rock band from Seattle

2:44

that named themselves his Boy Elroy? After

2:46

the Jetsons.

2:48

Who can I do this next one?

2:50

You certainly may, okay?

2:51

So this next one, Rory arrives at Logan's

2:54

launch party and walks by some girls gossiping,

2:57

and one of the guests says, and she showed me her

2:59

ring this year huge canary diamond looked like

3:01

something Paris Hilton would wear. Paris

3:04

Hilton is the great granddaughter of Conrad

3:06

Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels.

3:08

She's also a reality star.

3:11

A lot of you may have seen The Simple Life

3:13

back in the day. Some may argue she was

3:15

the first reality TV star, and

3:18

she owns her own brand,

3:20

Empire with tons of perfumes

3:22

and all a bunch of stuff. In

3:25

two thousand and five, Paris Hilton got engaged

3:27

to Paris Lattice with a massive

3:30

twenty four carrot canary diamond ring that

3:32

was valued at four point seven million

3:34

dollars. I think everyone remembers that

3:36

ring. Did

3:38

you know Paris Hilton just announced the birth of her second

3:41

baby via surrogate, named London.

3:43

So now she has a baby named London and Phoenix.

3:46

And the reason why I know so much about Paris Hilton

3:48

is our team works on her podcast too, So

3:51

dada to I am Paris.

3:54

After sitting through a coworker of Logan's

3:57

man splaying his trip to Tortol,

4:00

Rory hopes they never go there.

4:02

Rory, can we please never go to Tortola?

4:04

Where is Tortola?

4:05

By the way,

4:08

is that a real island? It's a real

4:11

Tola. Sounds like a made

4:13

up movie.

4:14

Island, like a British version islands.

4:17

Oh, Danielle, you're right, am I right?

4:20

British Virgin Islands.

4:21

Wow, my goodness, Logan,

4:24

I don't even want to meet John Chatruro or

4:27

Tortolini. John

4:29

Taturo is an actor and filmmaker,

4:32

and is known for frequently working with

4:35

the Cohen Brothers, Adam Sandler, and Spike

4:37

Lee, not necessarily in that order

4:39

or not altogether. Did you know Spike

4:42

Lee noticed and liked John Taturo's

4:44

performance in the film

4:46

Five Corners John played a psycho

4:49

stalking Jody Foster's

4:51

character. Actually,

4:55

everybody knew look in the late eighties

4:57

when I was doing theater in New

4:59

York, every day nobody knew about John Jaturo.

5:03

He was I think he was coming out of Yale

5:07

rep and he was doing some off

5:09

Broadway productions that everybody would go

5:11

see. I think there was one he was

5:13

in with John Panco and Lauris

5:15

and Jacomo called

5:18

Italian American Reconciliation. It was

5:20

just thrilling to watch those three and

5:22

Taturo especially just a very very

5:25

very special, very gifted actor.

5:36

Logan continues to argue with Rory about

5:38

the article she wrote. Logan says, where

5:40

do you get off acting all morally superior?

5:43

Rory says, that is not what I intended

5:46

to say at all. Logan

5:48

says, you clearly think you are why

5:50

because you read Iron Weed, because

5:52

you saw Norma Ray. Iron

5:54

Weed is a nineteen eighty three novel

5:56

by William Kennedy which takes place during

5:59

the Great Depression. Norma Ray is

6:01

a nineteen seventy nine drama that

6:03

is based on Krystalie Sutton as

6:05

she tries to unionize her

6:07

workplace and.

6:08

Did you Know.

6:09

Sally Field portrayed Norma Ray,

6:12

which earned her an Oscar for Best Actress.

6:14

Additionally, the film received a Standing Ovation

6:17

at the Cannes Film Festival.

6:19

This is when she said when she accepted The Warrior,

6:22

you love me? You really love

6:24

me, don't you write? When everybody's

6:26

standing applotting for when she won

6:28

the Oscar? Right? Was that it?

6:30

I thought that was something later?

6:32

Was that later?

6:34

Yeah?

6:34

But I mean it was that that was her first

6:37

Oscar win, right, I mean it must have been

6:39

the biggest moment of her career.

6:41

No, yeah, I think that was a different

6:43

acceptance speech though, like for a different Oscar.

6:46

Christopher has a basket of clothes he is carrying

6:48

and Lurla stops to go through it. She

6:50

sees a shirt that Chris has and accuses

6:53

him of stealing it, and Laura Lai says,

6:55

this is my Police Synchronicity T shirt.

6:57

I've been missing this for twenty two years. Synchronicity

7:01

is the fifth album by the British rock band

7:03

The Police. The album includes

7:05

hit singles every Breath You Take, King

7:07

of Pain, Wrapped Around Your Finger and did

7:10

you Know. Despite their relatively short time

7:12

together as a band, they achieved

7:14

remarkable success. They have sold over

7:16

seventy five million records, making them one of

7:19

the best selling bands of all time.

7:22

Lucy and Olivia read Rory's article

7:25

and have some commentary. Rory

7:27

says it's mean. Lucy says

7:29

sort of. Lynn Hirschberg meets, I don't know,

7:31

someone really mean, and Rory

7:33

said, actually, I think that was Olivia that said

7:35

that, not Lucy. But Rory says, what, no,

7:37

No, I'm frand Liebowitz. It's supposed

7:40

to be fun, frothy, lighthearted satire, social

7:42

anthropology. I'm Tama Janowitz and

7:45

Olivia says, a

7:47

mean Tamma Janowitz. Lynn

7:50

Hirschberg is a journalist who has written for Rolling

7:52

Stone, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times,

7:54

and currently w magazine. Frand

7:57

Liebowitz is an author and public speaker

7:59

who is known for her cynical social commentary

8:01

on American life. And Tama Janowitz

8:04

is a novelist and short story writer. Did

8:07

you know? Lynn Hirstberg wrote a

8:09

piece for Vanity Fair about Courtney Love where

8:11

the article contained factual errors, one

8:13

of them misrepresenting Courtney's heroin use.

8:16

Hmm, well,

8:19

isn't that interesting that?

8:22

Well?

8:24

Luke is at the hospital with April and is switching

8:26

through TV channels. He then stops when

8:28

he sees the black and white film The Philadelphia

8:30

Story starring Carry Grant and

8:32

Catherine Hepburn. So In the scene,

8:35

Carrie Grant says, two years ago, I

8:37

did you out of a wedding in this house

8:39

by eloping to Maryland. This

8:41

is significant because at the end of season

8:43

six, Lorelei says to Luke let's

8:45

Elope in Maryland, and Luke at the time

8:48

didn't know what she meant. When

8:50

he returned to win her back and said, I heard

8:52

you mentioned Maryland or something. Now,

8:54

after seeing this scene, it reminded him

8:56

of Lorelei and he knows where she

8:58

got it from. It makes him sad because

9:01

he knows Laurai is now married to

9:03

Chris and did you know. According

9:05

to Reddit fans, they say

9:08

the premise of The Philadelphia Story is parallel

9:10

to the story of Luke and Loralai. In

9:12

the film, Tracy, who's from an aristocratic

9:15

family, is getting married to George,

9:17

another wealthy type. Another

9:19

wealthy type who she doesn't really love. Her

9:22

ex husband, Dexter, who's not part

9:24

of the old money click turns up

9:26

and at the end the scene we see

9:28

in Gilmore Girls, Tracy decides

9:31

to marry Dexter again instead of George.

9:33

The parallels are Tracy is Loralai,

9:36

George is Christopher, and Dexter is

9:38

Luke. That

9:41

was in depth.

9:44

Yeah, I know right, I think I got the better

9:46

character name than Dexter. I

9:51

agree. That's going to wrap it up for

9:53

this brief version of pop culture.

9:55

It was short, but it was sweet, wasn't it,

9:57

folks. Next episode
