Pop Culture Minisode (S2 E21, "Lorelai's Graduation Day")

people like it, really is. They do because it's so much so there's the whole whole channel devoted to it. You could be a star. It's not surprising that there's there's a whole underground movement. I've gone no carbs. Yeah, why I felt like I was a little puffy. What are you working out? Are you? You're doing your cardio? What's happening up there? And I always work out. I was like becoming a fruit tintarian and a carbitarian. So now I'm trying to like get it together. Okay, so

this is pop culture. For episode twenty one, Loria lies graduation day and we're going to jump right into it. First, we have. Laura Lee and Roy are walking to the mystery breakfast location. Laura Lie says, Hey, Tonto when did you become older than me? Tonto's name American partner of the Lone Ranger. He's from the Potto Wanna Tomi tribe. His name it means crazy one or the fool in Spanish, which is I think why Laura Lee was referring referring referring to this. I was like, this is Toronto. This

feels more historical to me. But continue, it's old. Yeah, rangernger, that was. That was when I was a little small baby. Real person. He was, he was, he was. He was the Lone Rangers sidekick in the show. I know. But you know what, I just realized, I'm an idiot. Hio Silver literally thought that. H but I think I thought it was based on a real person. So I'm an idiot. Well I'm actually an idiot. No, no, no, you're not. You're not an idiot. You would be nice to yourself.

You're a substantial, intelligent woman. You have nothing to prove. I just blurred television with real life. What happens? We all do it? Yes, So the Lone Ranger premiered in January three on Detroit radio station w x y Z and then on to S. Yeah, I wasn't a kid on TV. Yeah, it was good on TV. I remember there was like a really bad Johnny Depp movie. Yes, so it was a TV show played by and he

was played by Clayton Moore. He briefly left the show and was placed by John hart Um, and then the film was remade in two thirteen starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and then an Army Hammer tanked right Yes, as a lone ranger and Johnny Depp was two hours late to the script read through because he wanted to be in full makeup for the costume for the studio production office, which I respect, but yeah, I feel like be fired. Would you not firedp for for being two hours late? Now?

That's how those stars are. They take their time. They don't go out there until they're ready. Were you punctual? Good questions? I don't know. I was very punctual. Was anyone on your set you don't have to name them chronically? Late? M hmm, No, you couldn't. You couldn't be I mean there was just too much work to do. Yeah, I would just mess up everything. Well, we were all like, you know, a lot of us came out of the theater in New York right at varying levels, but we

all had a work ethic. Although did you hear that worry that Jared filed very recently about he like went out on a wild night and then a scene changed on Gilmore Girls and he got called into work and he was like, I don't want to mess it up. But he was basically like kind of out of it but not prepared. And it was the wedding scene, his wedding. It's a funny story. He had no al right, he had no dialogue though, So that was just like, um, So the next one, I had to watch this scene

like ten times. I'm so confused on what this reference is for. And I looked and I'm still confused. Maybe y'all can help me. Laura, Lee, and Rory are walking to the mystery breakfast location. More Li says, I don't know, didn't they didn't they feed led to our jumping frog or something? Oh yeah, right after they stoned the woman who won the lottery. See so the boycott's legit. And then Lane runs up and say, hey, what's up? Laura Li says, oh, look, it's Michael Landon. So I get

the Michael land in part which I'll talk about. I don't sorry, get the first part. Can you explained to Michael Landon part? I didn't get that when she said, so the Michaelio is running up and she says, Michael Landon, what's going on there? So Lord, I call is Lane Michael because in Bonanza a little Joe was always asking his older brothers if they could wait for him. So she's like, wait, wait, catching up to him, that is

an obscure, very serious. I was like straight to little house on the prairie or maybe um highway to Heaven. Also going back to Bonanza, got that one tahoe near my house fanza Wow, yeah, h Anyway, I don't know about that. Other thing was a mass I don't know what. But so here's like what they are. Lord Lay's referring to the Jumping Frog of Calabaris County, Mark Twain's first short story. Um, he overheard the story at a bar. There's an annual fair, the Jumping Frog Jubilee, every year

in may Um in the city. And then Rory's referring to the lottery by Shirley Jackson, Michael Land and then it goes on to Michael Lennon. So I'm so confused on what maybe somebody can help, not for small minds to ponder someone, let's move on. Yeah, well we'll get help. I'm really drawn that one. So so let me know. Someone will know that's listening and they we'll let us know. Yeah. Next Depiniteine asked loer Life she can go bang on their pots and pans at at their house because she

needs practice. Lane says, thinks I've almost nailed the fill in Ramblan, which we also mentioned, right right. I just have to stop hitting my face with the sticks when I pull my arms back. Mary says John Bottom had the same problem, so we actually talked about Rambalon in the recap episode. This is one of the led Zeppone's most enduring songs, but they never performed it live from start to finish until December two thou seven when they came back together. But John's son Jason actually filled in

on the drums pread, which is kind of cool. Well yeah, John, mm hmm. John Bonzo Bonham is considered many of the greatest drummer in rock history. He was a big fan of Walls sausages. He was very devoted to them, and he actually had a whole stock with him on tour. But he would make the cruise cook up the sausage for him. Um. And then a middle school principal once wrote on Bottom's report card, he'll either be a dustman or a millionaire. What water? What a dust? What's a

dustman collecting dust? They clean dust like a janitor. Maybe next up we have another music reference. Lorela hates her books and she's ready to be down the school. Lore says, Rory brain is full, is reached capacity. It's Shafe Stadium. When the Beatles played, It's cramped and girls are screaming, and I think George is fighting with Ringo. So sha Stadium is where the New York Mets playing seats over fifty seven thousand people. The Beatles played the Shafe Stadium

in nine five. Over fifty five thousand people came to watch the ground big breaking concert. Um, but it was, you know, completely dominated by the audience. There is a fifteen minute documentary of the event called The Beatles at Shea Stadium released in nineteen sixty seven, and Loraline makes this reference because like the George and Ringo reference because George actually had an affair with Ringo's wife, Maureen. What. Yeah. It began with George confessing he loved for Marine in

front of Ringo and both the wives. What yes, what George did that to Ringo? What year? Do you know? What year? That happened when they were still obviously when they were still together. Oh my god. And then you know Eric Clapton when after George Harrison's wife and got her. Yeah, I guess it comes around man, the wild world of rock and roll um soe. Former Beatles George Harrison began a brief affair with the wife of they were broken up.

They broke up in seventy so three years after they broke up, so there has to there was just conflict. I know, rock and roll, rock and roll for you and the Beatles. Drunk drummer. Ringo's real name is Richard Starkey, but given the Ringo nickname to the fact that he were numerous rings on, I never knew that. And then Star came from his time with the band Rory Storm in the Hurricanes, where he had his own featured slot called Star Time. So then he put it together Ringo

Star Wow, that is something I did not know. There you go, um next when talking about having kids, lordlis amountfulready, Oh well, h They're not going to stand in my way, that's for sure. I mean I plan to have some, of course, but I'm just going to knock him out and h have Nancy catchum and care for them, make sure Mick Jagger doesn't come anywhere near them, and then just return them when they're twenty one. What were they

trying to say about Mick Agger? So I wondered that too when I was watching it, that he likes the young girls. So you nailed at Scott. Is he the only rock and roll frontman that likes girls? Why was he single? That? Why was he single? Was Steven Tyler any less enthusiastic? I mean, that was like the sixties and seventies was a different time. It was a time before aids. But Mick Jogger he has eight kids with

five women. And when I did some research, there were all these stories about like what he would do to get groupies, Like he had an incentive program with his crew that he would pay them if he looked with the groupies, if he got if he slept with one of the groupies they brought. He would pay them, like that's creepy. Allegedly, it's all do it or did it and nobody does it anymore. But they all did it. Yeah, everybody did it. Everybody. Do you think there are female

artists that didn't do that with male groupies? I do you think it was not as prevalent? Correct? But who am? I allegedly allegedly alleged the name of the pop culture episode Allegedly A couple more facts about Mike Jagger. He's big into fitness. He runs eight miles a day, train six days a week. He's still he can't run eight miles a day? Is a seventy eight year old? Really? He still moves around like a kid. It's amazing, It's

amazing he is. Did you see the video that he released after his heart a procedure a couple of years ago. I mean, he's he's you've seen The Rolling Stones live. He's in his house just prancing around doing his dancing stuff, and it's like, god, darn, I couldn't do that well in two thousands sixteen, you know the hit We're In five moves like Jagger Apparently he didn't seem to see a dime from that song, and he says it was a very catchy, but it put a lot of pressure

on him to nail his dance moves from that on. Yeah, nobody moves like that guy. Good tidbits. Nobody moves like that guy. Yeah. Next jessin Rory on the phone. Jess says, nothing much, just hanging out in the park mostly. Rory says, Central Park, just as Washington Square Park, which Scott, you mentioned in the recap that you lived nearby. Um Very says, oh it's cooler. Yes, It's where David Lee Roth got busted.

Oh what was that? Okay? So yes, I mean it was blurry and I was like, I think I know this, but what is it? I got you? So? Uh. David Lee Wrot the singer of Van Halen. He was among twenty five people that got arrested on various drug charges in Washington Square Park during a police narcotics operation called Operation Doubleheader. The and sting happened to be there. Sting, Oh, the sting, I'm sorry. The sting happened on David brought sorry be sting happened in and David bought a ten

dollar bag of marijuana. Listen you know, that's the n y U S right there. So maybe a couple of dealers go down there and you know deal Now it's like, you know, dealers took over Washington Square. Yeah, it's a little different in Central Park, right, but it's a little different Other than that. David Lee Roth actually ensured his little David for a million dollars before going on tour. Excuse me, little David are you talking about? What are you trying to say? Yes, he ensured it, he got

a policy insured it. Yeah. Um. And then in David actually changed his name from David Lee Roth to he now wants us to call him David L Roth or simply l Roth. What really this is recent? He posts on Instagram. Is she still singing and dancing, still making records? M M, I don't think so, Because I don't think so. Well, well, I will refer to him as el Roth. There you go, the former, you know, the musician formerly known as David Lee Roth. Yes. Um. Next, Lorlie Um is talking about

what she wants to do after the graduation. Lordlie says, hey, try to see us next to a celebrity on the concorde, like staying or screech or someone weirdly, Sting weird. We just were talking about which might it might have been my slip since I was thinking, you know, I thinking about But what she meant was the Sting operation. But then Sting got a shout out, I love God rest his soul. So. The Concorde was a supersonic plane that flew from New York to London or Paris to or

New York to Paris in just four hours. The plane operated from the seventies to two thousand three, but a major crash happened to two thousand and the company never really recovered from its about publish um. But in two thousand one, Sting and dozens of other journalists and government officials were on the Concorde as part of a massive pr drive to restore confidence in the service. But other than that, if you don't know, Sting is the lead singer of the band Please and It's I Love Sting.

He got his nickname because of a black and yellow sweater he used to perform in, but his real name is Gordon Gordon Sumner and his daughter is on the show. Um don't tell me it's about a train. The world freezes over. It's after tomorrow. Nope, right now than sting stings daughter is in that sting, and he's daughter is Trudy producing snow Parson because she's a prolific, prolific producer. Yeah, he's a very good producer. I don't think so. I

think the daughter is just like a good actress. Mickey Summer, Mickey Summer. Okay. I don't know TRUI is the mom. Let me let me fact check that, but probably she is. Go ahead, Well, they've been together forever. I don't want to miss speak. Lord knows, I could have it wrong. I don't like to be wrong. Wouldn't be the love child of l Ross, wouldn't. But sorry, treaty. My apology is to staying in Trudy. Sorry, I move on. We gotta b alright. So the final round out this pop

culture This one I thought was funny. Lordla says, oh, well, as long as she's okay, I guess um, Well, I should probably get to the gown back. Thanks for coming soup. Marcus jenkin Burg, because we're talking about he was a model, right, yes, yes, so she was referring to uh Jackson as Marcus in that fancy suit. At the time, he was kind of like, you know, famous, he was like almost like Fabio level. Yeah, he was like very Cindy Crofferty at the time, he

was actually just famous. He was like a famous model. Now, who the hell is that? Well, I had to look him up and then I was yeah, he was like handsome, but you know now he's oh he was a drink of water. All right, then, Marcus, I'm not a good lookout, but I think there's a lot of ladies that probably are. He was actually discovered on Venice Beach as he was roller bleeding and he originally wanted to be a huge basketball star. And then did somebody skate him down? If

he was skating so need to go after him? So the agent was running across the sand going hot, date you're gorgeous, sir? Or did he strap on his blades and just like tear it down like not even listening because I'm totally doing a deep dive on his instagram, is there is there's a picture of Cindy Crawford kind of like Urgi Modelly pictures. Well, he actually did a Jessica Simpson Carrie h whoa, whoa wow, Marcus Shank and bow go Marcus. Yeah, yeah, all right, what does he
