Pop Culture Minisode (S2, E15 “Lost and Found")

you go into hospital, you don't come out again. Roy says, well said Ida Morgan stern Ida as a fictional character portrayed by Nancy Walker from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rhoda She's wrote his mother and Laura Line makes this reference because her character was notorious for using the medical fears to elicit sympathy from her daughter, like she's doing Throy. She was. Yes, she was also the Bounty paper towel Quicker Quicker, Quicker pick up. I don't use bounty,

I use bounty paper towel. Everybody uses everybody. Well no, because I did the right thing for a long time and used the one some whole foods. But I'm going to tell you guys something. They don't. They don't work as well because they're like recycled paper. They their hearts sawdust or something yeah something something. Yeah, they're not great. So I went back to Bounty, but I tried hard not to use a lot of peper iron paper towels made completely from bug excrement, and that didn't absorb. So

we got rid of them. YEA can always tell you a crazy story. One of my friends so, like, you know, like when the pandemic started, everyone was like, I couldn't get paper towel as my friend Amy used one roll of paper towels for seven months, like she could never use I was like, I believe I've gone through seventeen roles of favorite one role. She's like, I don't use paper towels. I used towels and then I washed. You just use her hand. She use towels and wash them.

She's so much better for the environment than me. We're going we're going through a roll of paper towels every two days. Me too. It's bad. We just love them. We love them. We've got a stack of paper towels in our pantry. You wouldn't believe. It's like it's like a rump us room. You could just run up and smash into them and fall and laugh and you wouldn't

get hurt. So much room. But I'm trying to make up the difference in other ways, So like I'm still using the paper towels, but I'm doing other things good for the environment, not counting my stuv. I apologize for that all. Not counting your SUV. What is that? Yeah, because you're an SUV? Is you know an SUV car

so bad for the environment? Sports utility vehicle? Yeah? I thought you were referring to some kind of a measure of carbon in the atmosphere, but you kind of are with an SUV, so you so you don't drive, so you won't drive an suv. You're driving a little tiny little do driving electric? Got pedals? You do? Yeah? And I'm using paper towels. So it's like, I'm really sorry I'm doing I'm trying to make up in other ways since both those things are she drives a suv to

pick up the paper towels. It's just like, come homeless, bad. Well do you know who also spared no cost whatsoever? Our next reference, Laura, Li and Rory are walking towards Luke's more license. We need our rain gutters cleared. Laura Roy says, yeah, we'll hire someone moral. I says, oh, well, aren't we suddenly a Rockefeller? So the Rockfeller family game

they're fortunate oil in the late eighteen ninety Huh. Glora is referring to how much money they have, how they don't really need to spare any expens to expense to get things done like fixer rain gutter. Their fortune today is worth billion dollars. The government went after Standard Oil, broke it up, and and and he formed twenty four different LLC's and they all became huge. So he's his wealth increased twenty four times. I think Oprah has like

five billions. Do you think she's that wealthy? I think she has like three or five billions, So nipping at their heels. Wow, does she have a loan department? He is a queen. I don't know, but I love her so much. It's like, oh, she's she is, She's right, she feels everybody's feelings. She really is, Yes, And I believe that like what you see is what you get, Like she's super authentic. Like I think, like what she's showing us that's who she really is, and I am

so into it. Mhm. She's probably a fan the Rockefellers. I'm not the Rockefellers. Yeah, I'm not as familiar with as I am. Oprah m. Now, So they have a large fortune, um and a little bit put away, you know, the vacation with the rothschild. So they're they're kind of well to do. Billions nine nine, nine millions. So they have nine ninety nine millions eight times. No, a billion is a is a is a is a hundred, it's a thousand million nine No, so you go nine millions

and then it's a billion. So if they have eight billion, just to give you like, they have nine millions, eight different times nine thousand million? No, okay, billion billion right after I don't ever hear on my fingers like, okay, So if you have nine million in mathematical terms, were the equivalent of the three students somewhere, I'm giving you a visual, think of how much nine million? That's a lot, right, hang on, just give me a second. Alright, I got it,

I got the image. Go then think think of you had a pile of nine, but they have eight piles of nine ninety nine million because they have eight billions a thousand million. Why are you doing a nine You're leaving off a million dollars eight times, so you're you're short change these people by eight million dollars. You're taking your skimming some off the top. You're taking your percentage,

aren't you. It's just for the visual. It's easier to understand if you're like nine hundred and nine nine million, it's the next number. So you don't say a thousand million, you say a billion. But I think I'm confused because you know, like you do nine nine d ninety nine thousand to get to a million, Why is it nine thousand million to get to a billion? Let's move on. I can't do can't do this. I'm so confused. I don't even know where I am anymore. Huh, you're on

the planet. You've landed on the planet calculus, and we're here to teach your math. What's after the Rockefeller? Okay? Next? We have also very comfortable family, the Hearst family. Like that was like a Costello routine of who's on first, on first, who's on second? No, what's on second? What's been net worth of the hearth Oh? Oh, good lord? Um, I don't know. The newspaper people too. Yes, and they have a castle in like Paso San Simon or something. Yeah.

Hers Publishing, Um, yeah, her family's twenty one billion. Oh that's the that's what they're worth. The hearse family family picture to do this again. Rights. What makes me think of the Hearth is the Huntsburger. I always feel like, Logan, I know where you just pocketed twenty million because you skimmed a million off of each billion. I always feel like the hunts Burgers were sort of the hearth. But anyway, ah, no,

they were. They were that wealthy. They were no, no, but they were sort of to me, that was sort of who they were. Whatever. We'll get to that. So going back to the reference Loyalize and Luke's apartment saying how messy it does. Luke says, see if you can find a brown leather ledger, Lorialy says, I've never seen so much stuff. It looks like a white trash. Hearst Castle in here. Hers Castle is a state of newspaper mugul William Hearst, Like we said, built to night to nineteen,

Hers Castle has a hundred sixty five rooms. It's crazy we should make the field trip to Hurst Castle. It would be fun, It'll be really fun. I'm thinking about is Lorel calling Luke snuppy, But anyway, keep going. You know they he's the father of yellow journalism, sensationalism, like the enquire Yeah really, he kind of created the tabloid. Yeah really they called it yellow journalism. Yeah, that's why he made so much money. I remember hearing that term.

And so the dining room was a Spanish monastery that Herst purchase disassembled and reassembled to make the dining room, which is a Hearst. And then their guest list was very very old Hollywood. So people like Charlie Chaplin, Carrie Grant, the Marx Brothers, Greta Garbo, Buster Keaton, Mary Pickford, Jean Harlow and Clark Gable all visited the Hearst Castle like when it wasn't a museum, when it was like for dinner, right when it was a real home. Yes, yeah, maybe

they maybe they know, Maybe they visit as ghosts. I don't know. And the iconic Roman pool is decorated from ceiling to floor with one inch square mosaic tiles. That's crazy, that's like d square tiles a million. Next, lotal lies talking to Rory about getting a tattoo. Rory says, fine, what are you getting? Lotal Lie, says mel Brooks. Roy says why, literally says, what do you mean? Why? The

two thousand year old Man Young Frankenstein Silent Movie? You don't think mill has earned the right to have his face on my butt? And how mention Baseball? How did I not mention my favorite melbook Brooks movie ever? Saseball? What you don't like Spaceball? Oh? Spaceballs? No? I don't think I ever saw it all the way through. I know a pox on me I got planned for you this weekend, O boy. Yeah, I don't know. And I think it was a young Bill Pullman in there too.

I'm a huge mel Brooks that I've seen all of his films. Joan Rivers was in there. I hope I'm getting the bull Bill Pullman My Anxiety two tho year Old Man so one of the movie Silent Movies, A slapstick comedy written directed by mel in nineteen seventy six. The movie features the first on screen pairing of mel Brooks and and Bancroft, who danced the Tango together. The couple were married from nineteen sixty four until Bancroft's death

in two thousand five. Very Sweet. Next, Laura, Lee and Luke are watching a small TV and empty Luke's dinner or license to sitting on uncomfortable chair an empty diner that smells like onion rings. Luke says yes. Loura Lie says, Calgon take me away. This is a reference. Calgan is a bath powder that made famous in the nineteen seventies and eighties commercial The main character would be sitting and having a stressful day and she would say take Callaghan,

take me away, and she magically end up. I mean, I know the commercials well. I don't think I've ever taken a Calgne bath, have you guys? I've never had a call gone bath that I am aware of. Are you a bath guy? I love taking bath. I think it's it's it's almost better than a massage because you don't have to have anybody touching you. You know what I mean. If if it's like how hot can you stand the water? And it's a wonderful salt, it's a

I don't yeah us you know it's for me. It's about super hot water and just you know, really getting the And now if I said hot tub like a z or a bath, would you pick uh in the summertime, Definitely the Chacuzi because we have a great Chacuzi over here. I mean it was a really great one, and I'm in it every night. I gotta admit that, you know, but when the weather is not so conducive, I'm you know, I'm in the bathtub. I love the bath. Luke. I wonder if Luke would have been a bath guy. And

I'm sort of feeling like you maybe would have been. Nah, he's not a bath guy because he's too uptight. You know. It's like the bath relaxes you. The bath is so taking a hot bath is so healthy. It's it's just so great. It's great for your muscles, it's great for your mind. It's it's really I know, I don't have a bathtub in this house. You actually get rest. I mean you're on your back. I mean unless you're face down in the tub, which is weird. I don't think

people do that. You would want to take take me away. It's not like we're dolphins. We're not. So The slogan was also actually used in a Maria Carrey song shake it Off? Not know m lorda Lie is waiting with Roy for the alarm clock to go off, and Lord Liss wait Royce's what are we waiting for? Laura lissis patients grasshopper. This is a famous quote from TV show Kung Fu starring David Carradine. Show what a show, classic show. I used to wait for that show all weak? Am

I going to mess this up? Is David Karody not alive? But Keith Carrote is alive? No, think it's the other way around. You know what Rory Rory was called me Rory Riley Rory. He died. David Carradine died in two thousand nine. Oh no, what about Keith Carrating. See that's very sad, very sad. Wow Keith. I think Keith caring is alive. Yes, Keith is alive. Boy that that show

was so great? Could not no, no no, no, It's like take a shell in priest, take a shell in monk trained in kung Fu and send him into the Old West. I mean, man, what that was called confrontation? All those great fights and all those lessons learned about I was just so bummed there wasn't another Brady Bunch episto. I was like, well, we have a chance to try again because the c W has rebooted the series Kung Fu and Kung Fu Season two will premiere on the c

W in March nine. Dragon can't touch that show. It's too classic. I don't think I'm gonna watch eat their version. Who's playing the lead role in the c W one. I think it's a twitch. It's a girl, right, I think it's a girl. Maybe you know how they do? Um? Laura Lean Jess Are having a lunch just says You'll Gibbons wasn't a health eater like Luke Loyally says, Wow, it's been ages since I've heard a good Yu'll Gibbons reference. You'll Gibbins was an outdoorsman and early health food advocate,

promoting eating wild foods during the nineteen sixties. He was in several serial commercials for grape nuts in the nineteen seventies and asked, yours ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible recommended in grape nuts over the pine trees. Yeah. That was my generations introduction into health food was your

Gibbons and grape nuts. Commercials, and everybody you know did their research about who youule Gibbons was, and you know that it would have been much better if he wasn't so damn extreme with the eating the tree bark stuff, because it was just like, what kind of a wacko was going to sit there and eat a tree? And that's how we all took it like we did. He was dismissed. It's like, Okay, he's doing grape nuts commercials, but this guy's gnawing on tree park. What's up? Healthy eating?

I don't really think I like grape nuts. I don't know if I've ever had him. We made Riley get him. Riley try the Great Nuts. I used to like him. I feel like they were very crunchy and small. They're there, who are like eating gravel? Yes we are. They still like very available at like Safeway. They were for sure hidden. There's likely to go up and down that right there with cheerio, no, you know, and that's what I wanted.

But we got grape nuts. Okay, here we go. Okay, milk on that or just dry and milk and my health eating have almond milk. She's getting some almond milk on there, Okay, yeah, we're you know, I think they're going to not taste great. I don't think. I don't think they're going to have that fruit loop. I think the almond milk is going to give it a little sweetness, right, might be if we get blast off the face gives it away. Yeah, I don't think she loves it. Mikey

likes it. I don't think so. I thought it wouldn't be Sugary's not sugary. It's like tree bark. It doesn't taste like grapes, doesn't take it like nuts dirt. Yeah, so honest, an honest name for this product would be because it doesn't taste like grapes were nuts. So what does it taste? What does it taste like? Yeah? Good questions, Good questions, Scott, I feel like I've like finished chewing. Now, excuse me, talk amoungst yourselves. We don't really have anything

to say because we don't even know what's new. It up, girl, Okay, I'm so sorry for anyone hates chewing and people like that. Now, this next pop culture reference is inaccurate. I want to prepare the audience. This is not accurate, So go ahead and say I will no, no, it's not accurate. So go ahead, right, it's possible, but it's not what he known for and it's getting me a little lathered up. Go ahead, what is it? Go ahead? So Lord Rory

tells lor Lie she was looking for Jean's bracelet. Lor License, Oh not good. What did you say? Roy says that I had a rash and I take it off until it healed. Lord says, nice save, Gretzky. Okay, here's my here's my beef. Gretzky wasn't a goalie. What was he a defensive player? He didn't save the puck in the net. That's what nice save means. He wasn't a goalie. But if you can't say nice save, it's like they just

did great defense. I rest my case. Well, okay, well, everybody knows that Wayne Gretzky was not a goalie and the most prolific scorer in the history of the NHL. That is not a nice save, Gretzky. It's a nice goal Gretzky, nice shot gret Sky. It's not a nice save. Yeah. Interesting, So somebody in the writer's room doesn't know they're hockey. Well, he did have two thousand seven career points, thank you very much. So maybe he like saved. Those aren't saved.

Those are scores goals. Okay, if a baseball player caught like a fly ball, is that a nice save? No? Nice catch? Nice save? No save is what a goalie does deflecting a puck, because it's like holes, here's a here's a shot stick save, piron, nice skate save. That's it's it's at I'm sorry. I've got to take them to task for this. We're gonna give it to you. You're the of the three of us. You're the professional athletes, so we are going to No. I think this makes

sense to anybody. I mean, you know, he was not a goalie, so what are they nice? He wasn't known for saving goals. He was you know, I would say it. It's like, okay, so pretend I'm like getting something out of the refrigerator and the jam fell and I caught it. Somebody might be like, good save girl. Yeah, but they wouldn't call you, refer to you as Gretzky probably not probably not. No, No, they they did for you as Goldberg. Why Goldberg Ducks from what from the Mighty Ducks? It

was that was the Goalie and the Mighty Duck. There you go, all right, a Lauren Graham show that is now a Disney Plus correct correct, Wayne, This is may also being inconsistency. Wayne has his famous inspirational quote, you miss one of the shots, you don't take beautiful, wonderful quote. I like that quote. Yes, give it a try. That's what we do every week. But this Top Culture episode, you know, that's making impassivity very very active, isn't it

philosophically speaking? Yea, yeah, that is true. Yeah, it really doesn't make sense. Yeah, but what's happening with this section of pop culture? You know, we're just going to have to make some phone calls. We're gonna have to send some letters. We want we want to get some clarification on this. God after the whole Maths thing, I don't really know anymore. Laura la is talking to Jess. Jes says, I didn't get anything. LAURAA says, what did you break

into our house? You've got all dressed in black and pulled a mission impossible? Mission impossible as a film starring Tom Cruise. That debut and the whole series is eight films, well only a TV show. Yeah, that was a very famous, very famous Peter Graves. Yes. Yes, and then it became the movies we know involved with Tom That was such a great I'm that building. He like that crazy stunt in Dubai and he like, you have to watch it. He like jumps out of a window and swings around.

He's really doing this stuff as these are not stunt doubles. This guy is like risking his life. There's one where he got hurt and he slams into a building and broke his arm, but finished the shot because he's like, we're not gonna be able to do this again, so he runs with a broken arm. That that guy. That guy is committed to his craft. And I'm sure the filmmakers loved it because it allowed them to save money on stunt people and also it allowed them to get

the film delivered quickly. I don't know that they a studio loved it. No, I don't think the insurance people enjoy it. I don't know. I don't think the studio wanted to pay those premiums. Yeah, and I'm sure the insurance people all the way climbing the side of a mountain, one of them starts like that, those are pretty good movies. I still like Top Gun better, but those are pretty good movies. There's a guy who changed himself to the

side of a one cargo that was crazy. That mackerel. Yeah, I mean yeah, I think he earned his paycheck a little bit. Roy tells Jess that she's lost's bracelet. Roy says, what do you mean? Jess says, I mean, I know it's gotten. I've pinned by by Birdie kind of implication to it. But it was just a bracelet. So it's old reference by By Birdie's musical film from three about a rock and roll singer, Conrad Birdie who was about

to be inducted into the Army. Um so. The movie has some heavy hitters like Dick Van Dyke and Margaret Janet Lee and Maureen Stapleton. The reference though, why am I not getting the reference? Like Dean was giving her like a like a pin like to go way off to war to remember that was like the significance of the I don't know this film. I know the expression

by Bye Bertie, I know it. I know the title right now, but I don't know the storyline was inspired by Elvis Presley being drafted and it just picks teenage life in the nineteen fifties, which is including a dating ritual of getting pinned, which is kind of like giving

the brieslet. Okay, So this makes me realize that we had a pinnings at my sorority and you would like be in the dining room and all of a sudden, the lights would go out, and like, there's a couple of people in on it, but a lot of people weren't in on it, and they'd be like, you'd make a circle and then I think like a pandel gets all passed around a bunch of times, and it goes one way and then goes another way, and then the boys come in and then you find out who's getting

tent mhm. Yeah. When I was growing up in grade school, we would give girls rings, but there would be an exchange of rings if you kind of ring like a lollipop rings. Yeah, No, a little couple of notches up from you know, cracking, you get it, the treasure chest at the dentist. You go by, you go by, you know ring. Yeah, it was like a serious thing. How old were you? Oh god, we were doing that seventh grade. And that meant you were like go and steady yes, yeah, rings,

you actually wear rings? Yeah, Oh my god. Our last reference. Rory has told Jean Dean that she took her bracelet off due to the rational risk and says, you go look for at M section. We'll go see Lord of the Rings and on the way home we'll run to Autumn, New York and market for the rest of the afternoon. A lot of mentions in there, first as Lord of the Rings franchise, which has three films and it's made over two point one billion dollars nine millions. Who pile

two piles? Oh no, that's a pile. All right, it's a big pilot. You don't want so Jake Gillan Hall auditioned to play Frodo. No, yes, can you imagine Jake, Jill Elijah would m hmm what Yes, I could see it. I could see it. I feel like they would ruin Jake, Jill and Hall for me. Mm hmmm, see it. That's interesting. By the way, we do need to talk about Autumn in New York because it is absolutely the worst film ever made. There's nothing worse than that film. That thing

is saming pile. I don't even know what it is. It's Richard Gear and Oneona Writer U Romance. It's the most ridiculous film you will ever see. You it's so it's laugh you laugh. It's so bad. You laugh at every scene. You can't believe how bad it is. That Brad Pitt movie that I did not stop it. Don't you don't don't you talk to me about Brad that way? Don't you reverential terms? Re stop it stopped? I love I love them too. But that was not a good movie.

I couldn't get toyments into that thing. Bad. Okay, it wasn't a bad film. It was a good film. They have been a little derivative. Okay, So I had a very strong theme that one looked bad. But would I enjoy like hate watching Autumn New York. I'm doing you a favor. You're gonna thank me because you're gonna get You're going to get a ton of laughs out of it. It's totally making me want to watch. There's some good

writers out there that right movies like this really well. Okay, this thing was such a stinker because these characters were so gross. It was so it was so absurd. The entire film was absurd, Like worst movie you've ever seen, absolutely I'm gonna have to watch it because there's nothing even close. It's the I was shocked when I first saw it, and I saw it by accident. I'm like, is this for real? And I kept I kept trying to think, is are they are they trying to be

serious here or is this? Like I'm also excited. I'm almost excited to watch it. I'm gonna have to make special snacks. Remember when everyone said tat was so bad and then I just had to watch it? Which one? Which one? That Taylor Swift Cats? It was like James Cordon, Jason Derulo, Taylor Swift and just like everyone's like, this is the worst movie ever. James Cordon was in a

film Taylor Swift Cats Cats the musical. They made it into a film with Taylor Swift and James Cordon is James Cordon Singulo and like, oh, James Gordon can sing into the woods. Yeah, I had no idea. I had no idea. But it's worth watching because they said it was so bad that I'm like, I have to watch this, and it is. It's like so so bad that you're kind of like, is this happening? Like they're all dressed up in weird. Tats costs. Well, I didn't walked out

of the play, Cats, you didn't enjoy the play. I walked out of the play. Well, that's iconic, that's weird. I wonder what you would think of the film the film to after after you see Autumn of New York, you will have a whole different perspective on both and win owner writer, I love them both, right, They're both great? Right? Yeah? Not in this film. Well, some people criticized that they had a twenty three year age gap. It was so much more than that. In the Gilmore reference, are they

referencing that it's terrible? Yes, they say, well, we'll rent Autumn of New York and mock it for the rest of the afternoon. It was just it didn't work on any level. It was just the work you could. You can't believe. It's like watching a train wreck, a slow motion train wreckord. It just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. Can't believe how preposterous this movie is. I will even pay money if I have to rent this on Amazon Prime right now. You have to see this film.

You will watch it this weekend. You will bust a gut. I can't wait, I actually can't wait tell you what. Hollywood does some incredible things, but man, every once in a while, like very rarely do they get it wrong like this. I mean, wow, it's amazing it was even released, but I think they were. The studio was like, man, this thing is such a turkey. We got to try to make some money off it. You know what movie

I did not love? And I feel bad saying it because I literally worship Roland Emeric Moonfall, Moonfall, Yeah, tanked, right, it didn't make any money. It's not good. Yeah, it's not good. These are hit or missing, and I love I literally watch Independence day after Tomorrow. I've seen him a hundred tons Moonfall. Okay, all right, listen, we want to inform our audience and many different disciplines. Right, So it's like, I want to know if anyone also thought Moonfall. Yeah, yeah,

she's great? Right. I love Patrick Wilson, Yeah he's great. He's great. So August in New York, August to New York might as well be Autumn of New York. Autumn in New York. And here's okay, I'm just gonna tell you something. The creepiest aspect of you know what made this film so creepy, and it does have a creepy factor to it. It makes it so creepy because Richard Gears character used to date well known writer's mother and now he dates one a writer. It's so creepy you

can't even believe it. You can. No, it's a romance. It's a romantic film that's supposed to be a straight romance. It's not a romantic comedy. But I think they try to be funny and cute in it. It's it's just you have got to see this. I am booked up Friday night. Let me tell you I'm doing that. Maybe maybe tell you what if If I can get it, I'll watch it too, and then we'll talk about it. Maybe maybe we'll do a Henry thing. Oh man that eventually, I mean, does it get a little boring being so

worshiping of all these films we do. It's such a great film. That's the one that's really stinks. Yeah. I think sometimes we've either never seen them or we hate them, so it's all good. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna be revealing some films this film. Is there more? That's it? With the rest of the day off. Oh no, editing and be writing. Censoring. We got a lot of censoring finding Autumn of New York on Netflix. Bye guys, all right, guys, thank you for for downloading. Best fans on the planet.
