Pop Culture Minisode (S3 E5, “Eight O’Clock at The Oasis”)

I don't know if it's a tidbit or just like let him in on something that I realized you're gonna want to stay tuned until the very end of the episode, because when I listen to podcasts, I always bug out, like five minute before it's over. I have no idea why our best material when we think we're off, I've decided that. M hm. So you're welcome everybody. All right, well, let's get started with pop culture. So let's start with um the name of the episode, which is eight o'clock

at the Oasis. So um. This is based on the song UM Midnight at the Oasis by Marians. And then every time when they're in Dwight's house and the clock changes, it's like eight o'clock, five o'clock. So I actually was like, I've never noticed it before, But I was like, does that have to do with a real song? Like watching it as a kid? I never thought that it does. You know what's funny? I wonder if that clock is real, because you know I found the hell Low Kitty alarm clock. Danielle,

I have one for you. I'll bring it to you next time. I said, I thought you were gonna ask men scour eBay. Tara wasn't. I don't think Tara was working with us yet. But I bought one for me and one for you. I should have bought one for Scott. That's rude. That's so kind of you think of me. This is Scott really needs to put it right next to that post. What are you buying? What are you buying, Danielle? The one I got for you? Can we get it to Scott? That's okay? What are you buying? We got

you the Hello Kitty? Oh wait, I guess what. Scott got the Hello Kitty alarm clock from Loraa Lies. I found it on eBay and I got you the alarm clock, and we're gonna send it, send it over and can it go on that shelf, you know, right like next to the poster so everyone can see it. Well, okay, I think we made a ring. I'll let you know. Sorry, all right, So let's start with I went white asked

Loral to water his lawn. He says, if I would have asked somebody back where I used to live to water my lon, I would have gotten a much more HBO kind of answer. I love it. I didn't understand that. What was so like, like, yeah, well, basically HBO is known to not censor their language, and um, in the nineties they were. HBO used to air erotic programming back

in the day like skin a Max. Remember Skinnama because like Cinemax, but if you stumbled on it at the wrong time, you got Skamax was well I don't know if that was its given name, but it was just kind of like ny got it. And then in two thousand eighteen they removed all of that. So can I ask you that something. Have you ever been like scanning

your channels? You know, there's like nine hbos and showtimes and you're like scanning and you're like, oh what, and then you keep scanning and then you're like reverse reverse forward forward am I the only one that's like, did I see what I think I saw? Oh my gosh, Well we make glimpses into your brain and makes me really happy, and then I go, oh my god, forward forward ward, it's too much for me. My eyes, my eyes. In the words of Phoebe alright, So then let's move

on to the next one. Lower lies on the phone trying to figure out her old high school friends she knew, and she goes, good question, Well, I don't know his name because I only know I only knew him by his nickname Shammo. We called him Shammo. He was kind of um, a big guy in high school, but he

slimmed down quite a bit. So um. Sea World had twenty shammous throughout its three Sea World parks Man in that movie that was so upsetting, Free WILLI No, No, the White White shar that was a documentary about those Yeah, I get what it was called. It's something white whitefish. I don't think it was white. Scott doesn't care. It didn't make me really sad, yeah, because like I think now you think about it, like SeaWorld, you know where they're like their fins weren't like straight, and they were

all curved to the side because they were depressed. I like, it really made me sad. It's called blackfish blackfish, not even close fish soft taco. But I don't want to. I know, I know. It was a really informative documentary. And if you don't have time for that, there's always turtles eating lettuce. Correct, always turtles eating lettuce. If you want a happier thing to watch, there's always Wizard of Oz.

Because we got another Oz reference in this. Dwight says, first of all, thank you for this very kind favorite you're doing for me. I still can't believe that any one person would be so kind to someone they just met. Lorl says, apparently Dwight's last home was Oz, and not in the Wizard of Oz and not like another HBO Crystalony, but like based on like Wizard of Oz. Yeah, so Sloney was on that right, the lawn order guy. I think he was on off. I think that's where he

went when he left Stabler. I heard you should though. I heard it's really good, like very adult, but very good. It's on my lunch. It's supposedly really good, and oh my god, you know when I think, look Scott Covery ears, I think that is the show that Luke Perry from nine o two one. Oh you see us, old John Hamm.

I'm gonna check that, are you sure ahead? I ab how you just went through my pop culture for me because you've mentioned Oz and the Wizard of Oz, so we can just you mentioned Luke Perry or no, he was not in my list. No, but guess what, I don't even want to say it you you adult listening, You decide for yourselves if you want to look it up or not. So we'll move on to the next one. Um, Dwight's leaving a key for Laurel, and Rory says, don't you at least want to see what's what his house

looks like? Lorelie says, if we walk in there and his dead mother is sitting in a rocking chair, not a bit surprised. So Lorel is referring to the film Psycho by Alfred Hitchcosh was um. The original movie was adapted from a book by Robert Blotch, and Blotch's book was inspired by the real life Butcher of plain Field at Gean and so Blotch was motivated to write Psycho when hearing about the arrest, which happened fifty miles of blotches home in Wisconsin. Oh, Scott, did you enjoy Psycho?

Remarkable performance from Anthony Perkins. I mean just remarkable. He was he was the he was coming off Broadway, big refuse. He was the hot new actor. You know, Hollywood used to get a lot of their actors from Broadway, and they still do. But you know, it was a big deal, and he was a big deal and young and super talented and a little bit off. I didn't see the twist coming. I think I saw it older. You know, it's weird. I think I saw the Vince Vaughan Psycho first. Oh,

you can't watch that. It was it was like a scene for scene remake. It was weird. But that's how I I didn't know of the twist until they try to remake these things. But Bates Motel is a great shows. There's really if there's a concept for a TV show, sure right then it can be fun. But also because Freddie Heimore is like an actual genius, an actual genius

as an actor. He's so amazing because he's so good in that playing Norman Bates, and then he's on the Good Doctor and he's so amazing in that and they are nothing the same worth watching. Another fun fact from Psycho is, in order to replicate the sound of the knife entering the human flesh, they jo knife into a melan and um, instead of using fake blood, they used chocolate. Sarah oh as a black and white film. Oh that's right, the original Psycho, the classic Hitchcock films, not the trash remake.

So sometimes I'm so dumb. It's like, amazing. Our next one we've talked about many times, but David Bowie was um a reference that came up many times the concert that I think she should have taken the free ticket. Damn. So the guys are locks who cares go enjoy the show. You don't even have to talk to him, like you can just watch Bowie and then like grab a drink and leave. She's just not a rocker, man, I mean, come on, I saw Bowie and seven god, I saw him at the time. I saw him at the Tower

Theater in Philadelphia. I think, in wow, remember last week's oh God, turn all right? So the next one is when they're lor lyon Royer in Dwite's house and lorel I says, remember he owns twister. There's a great visual awaiting you. Roy says, got it. Hey, how come we don't have a tiki bar? Loreal I says, well, we are not too wild and crazy guys. Tara, he says, you like pina coladas and Lola, I says, and getting

lost in the rain. So I guess, Scott, I guess there's been this controversy that young people don't get why Steve Martin's King Tut is funny. It was all the hub I think on the TikTok, but because they don't understand like you and I do that at the time, King Tut was like that traveling exc they were touring with the actual Golden Oh when it was like you had to get two tickets and it was like impossible to get tickets. Yeah. So the reference is from Rupert

Homes song Escape and it was released in nineteen. Yeah, well you're talking about too wild and crazy guys check brothers because the one you said flew right. But I don't know that one. Oh my god, That's why I said good catch wild, and so did you. So you're just sitting there listen to me talk about Steve Martin going I'm just nodding my head. Okay, I love, I just didn't know. Can you imagine how much fun Steve Martin and Dan Acrod had doing those skits? How did

they not break up laughing when they were talking? It was a huge SNL skit do wild and crazy guys, And this is what was so crazy about Steve Martin. My parents and our other friends, like old parents would get out the record Steve Martin's record because it was like the seventies and put it on the record player and they would listen to like King Tut and too well and crazy guys. It was like, I don't know if it was like a Steve Martin stand up record.

I don't Yeah, no, he was a huge stand up comedian. That's how he started. So that reference is to the SNL skit. And they had these weird I don't know what would you call those. They weren't like, they weren't like, weren't they wearing goofy hats and they were too wild and crazy. They were wearing a newsboy caps, big floppy newsboy caps, and they had their shirt buttoned down to their navels, unbuttoned down to their navels with the tight

checkered parts and the platform shoes. Oh my god, sports, she just lives. They're listening to me talk about king tup like I guess this has I mean, well, I thought my facts were good for the Really, if you like Keen the next one, see for the old people listening, We got you if you were born you know sometime before we got Yeah. I'll just wrap up this. Did

you know what the original lyrics were? By the way, Amy, no tell me if you like Humphrey Bogart and getting Caught in the rain, Oh you know I love that song is because the twist ending. The twist ending is that he's on like writing a dating letter in this paper. If you like Penia Coladas, the person that answers the ad is his girl, and she can't really be mad at him, and he can't be mad at her because they both were in the singles pages whatever, So I

think it all worked out. What yeah, women. He wrote this song from the perspective of a guy who was already annual relationships, thick of his lady. He's sick of his ladys, yeah, and he's kind of she's kind of dull. I forget. The lyrics are all in there, So he writes this ad, if you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, and I can't remember the rest of you like Paena colonas and getting caught in the rain and the sound of the ocean and the taste

of champagne. So then the response letter is if you're an alcoholic who likes to stumble around naked and get caught in rainstorms all the time and get arrested. Process that to his ad is I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. I need to meet you at somewhere somewhere. So he goes and it's his old lovely lady that shows up. It was my own lovely lady. That's so cheesy. That's so cheesy because he needed it. He needed to really tie it up at the end.

And what I'm saying is they couldn't be mad at each other because she can't be mad like you put out a single 'sad, and he can't be mad because she answered it. And they I think they just trusted, like, oh, it's fate, We're good. It's very happy ending. Yeah, they're going to be putting ads out under as now. These days they would be on you know, Tinder going through it. But if you like, is that what you were going

to say to her? Go ahead and no, like m free Bulgard and getting gone in the rain, I'm sorry to everyone. You have more on this pop culture that I don't think. Ye, all right, so let's move to a very random part where lorealized trying to convince Rory to do cardio salsa with her, which we were talking about. She doesn't work out. I guess now she's trying so random. So lorel I says, salsa with me. Pretend I'm Antonio Benderis.

Rory says, if you were standing in the back of Vorio Banderis Antonio Banderis, I couldn't pretend that you were Antonio Banderis. So he's an actor and he played a dance instructor in the two thousand six film Take the Lead, which happened after this episode aired. Yeah, and put some boots before this or after this. Puss in Boots was later on after I think, yeah, because this is two thousand two. Yeah, Wow, what did you know Antonio Benderis

from at this time? Was he married to Melanie Griffith yet? Yeah? I think I think they were hanging out in Aspen Come On, get Me Well. While performing in theater, Benders caught the attention of a Spanish director, who cast the young actor in two in the movie debut of Labyrinth of Passion. He also was excellent in Philadelphia. I can't

remember what year that man. That was. That's an aazing movie. Yeah, and um he began acting in Hollywood films and he only knew a handful of English wards at the time, and he learned all his lines phonetically. Yeah, he'd already been in Philadelphia, which was amazing. He was great in those, uh Robert Rodriguez films. Oh, yes, yeah, he was really great in those films. I like Anthonio he's a. He's a. He's a. I think he's a better actor than he ever I mean, he showed how good an actor he is.

But has he ever won an Oscar or has he ever been in a film? We question because he was he was in a A Zoro. He was Zoro. He was great in that film. He was really great in that film. He's a. He's really good. It's not arguing he's really good. Oh he's going to be in the

New Indiana Jones. Oh, let it go. So next one is Um White, Dwight's ex wife, fleeting a message which now we know is Alex Borstein thinks the scott um but Doris says, I should call Aaron Brockovich to bring a lawsuit against your parents, you steaming lump of toxic waste.

So Aaron Brockovich is a legal clerk activist who was instrumental in building a case against Pacific Gas and Electric Company involving groundwater contamination in a town in California, with the help of Attorney Master, which, by the way, did you guys notice like how much is Dwight watering his lawn? Like how much water is he wasting? It's new grass and like he said that it needs to take root and that needs extra water. While during that initial process, yeah,

I was like, we're going to drought. Do you have lawn? I do? Do I have a little lawn deal? Have? Yeah? Front end, back, you and side. Yeah, it's the lawns anymore. I know. That's what I'm very nervous about. And I you know, I was went to a friend's apartment complex the other day. It was like fake grass everywhere that green. Yeah, but I don't people love that. I don't like it. I don't like it either. Yeah, it's funky to walk on too. I love I love lawn. Yeah, gotta have

a lot of larm. Oh god, but we're gonna be in trouble. We're gonna be in trouble. Yeah we are. So this one is actually our last one. Um, not that many, yeah, but the last. The last one is when Rory and Jess are drenched um at the sprinklers and Jess says, whoa whoa slow down. Rory says, get out of my way. Jess says, I like the new look. It's very blue. CRUSH's so good. Do you even know

what that is? Of course it's a it's a surf movie. Yeah, Kate Bosworth was kind of like what made Kate Bosworth famous? And I think Rosario Dawson, no, Michelle Rodriguez Rodriguez, yeah forgive. And the movie came out in two thousands two, so it's very relevant to one this episode aired. Um and by the way, Kate Osworth was briefly knocked unconscious while filming one of the surfing scene lessons and I love the guy that plays the boyfriend guy was Alaric from

Vampire Diaries. Or oh my god, maybe, oh god, it's my I could get things blurred. But it either was a Laurik from Vampire Diaries or the guy that was in Chasing Liberty with Katie Holmes Matthew Davis. A lark, No it wasn't. He was also legally blonde. Yep, I think it's a lark. Did you watch Vampire dis I did, but I'm blanking. We're here for the c W. Scott was a big fan of Vampire Dire. I never saw it. Sorry, I don't watch TV. I do? Do you really not?

I don't watch shows movies. You like movies. I prefer vies, but documentaries are kind of my thing. Yeah, I don't. I don't watch television. Is Bad Vegan a documentary or is it like a show? Neither, But it's got all the buzz, all the buzzs Tara. Yes, I'm going to give you. Good job, Scott, thank you? You can you give Tar a little review in her third up. I think she's sitting out of the park man because I

actually listen. I listened to h the first one, which just dropped right, and it's like, you know, you have a very soothing voice. You have a very pleasant. You know, your voice has real personality without having you don't have to push it in anything. You know, you're very present. So it's it's you have a good voice for thank you, because I hate hearing my own voice, right, I know, isn't that strange? How Yeah, but it's it's perfect for what we're doing.
