Pop Culture Minisode (S3 E8 "Let the Games Begin”)

listening to their feedback. Number one, I'm going to work really hard today to not interrupt unless I think it's super important because I can't say, which means you can interrupt all the time. And number two, Tara, they would like you to just move along without me ever having to say what's mixed? I think it gets irritating, So just I'm moving along, Tara, your girl, Let's do it right, Danielle. That's the pop that's correct, So there will be absolutely

no interruptions from anybody. While Tara rages, I was gonna try so hard to interrupt you there, and y'all said, although, yeah, we were, interjections are very much appreciated, So I'm gonna go ahead and thank you only when it's really a home run. I won't just do it. If I have some dumb tidbit, I'll try to do it for only medium. Today I have nothing but dumb tidbits, and they're getting in the episode. You know, I'll be the interrupter. You can.

You can interrupt me while I'm interrupting to shut me up. But go ahead, try and stop me. Tara. Alright, Tara, let's do it. Just interrupted her, interrupting her. Be quiet after that five minute conversation, how's that squirrel? So squirrel still sleeping? With the dead squirrel still sleep we're asking I don't know. I'll have to update you guys, like around four. You don't know if the dead squirrel I might go up again sometime early June, so I'll let

you guys know. Alright, Tara, all right, let's do this. So this first one, Um, just heads up. It's a little gory. So if you would like to fast forward, interrupt, But we lovey um. So, I don't know if you know this what we have the store of saw with us soft for the listeners. I'm just saying right off the bat, we lost actually on the floor. I can't wait for you all to see this about to talk

about or no, like okay, great, okay. So this is um at dinner at Emily and Richards when the housekeeper keeps getting in trouble for putting walnuts in the salad, Laura I says, Mommy, know you're not a little If you're not a little nicer to your help, you might find yourself in a Frank Lloyd Right situation. So was that true? Oh? I doubt it? Come on, remember last episode I asked, yes, not being real? I doubt hacked

up by an act. There was nobody outside of franklod Rights house trying to escape and getting hacked up by an next giving you a break. That was just Laura La being Laura that is currently wiping away his tears. But but tell us all right. So the fun facts on this is that on August nine teen fourteen, Julian Carlton, a male servant from Barbados, set fires the living quarters of Talison Frank Lloyd Wright's house and murdered seven people

with an axe as they fled the burning structure. The dead included Frank's lover Mama, Mama, sorry guys, Mama growth Wick broth Wick her too, visiting kids John and Martha Cheney, David Lynn Blom. Lynn Blom a gardener, draftsman named a meal minute. Where did this happen? This happened at Frank Lloyd Wright's house. Where but where here in in the United States? Somewhere News Coast, West Coast, do we know?

I mean what an event? It was true? Yeah, that's one of my fears, being trapped somewhere or just burning house and the ax. I believe it was in Wisconsin. What was he? There was Frank Lloyd right? There was he was? He wasn't there? He was there? Is he a famous architect? Yes? He was a race car driver. He drove forward, he did. Frank Lloyd right, he won the Dayton Times, Wisconsin. Guys, I mean we heard the whole very story on the episode. I just was like,

this made up. It just sounded so made up, just like reading it. That's why I gave you a little heads up. I'm like, oh, this is actually real. God, Oh my god. Yeah. Smooth to the next one. Um. Yeah. So this is to Jess about Rory. Luke says any evidence of alcohol, cigarette, smoke, or anything else that Nancy Reagan would find unacceptable, and you will not allowed. You will not you will not be allowed near her without

an adult. First of all, I don't want to interrupt, but it was such a great Luke line because it's exactly what Luke would say. It's exactly Luke's age. Nancy Reagan Tara, you're too young was so like her big campaign as first Lady was just say no. And she went on like all the big shows at the time, different strokes and like all these things doing her just say no for so for Luke to say, you need

to not do any of the things. Nancy so good when those two were like, what are you talking about, dude? So good? And that was one of my fun facts actually, so just say no was a drug er in his campaign in nineteen eighty two, and she was in different strokes in there. I didn't have different strokes on there. See people, sometimes you got interrupted. See it's great because like I have my facts and you throw them in

and usually we we meet right in the middle. Um. But for anyone who doesn't know, she is the first Lady from she was the first Lady from nine nine, was married to Ronald Reagan, and she was also an actress. M M alright, so let's move to the turn down these walls. Good Reagan, No, that was more Walter Crukite.

That wasn't right. So this is when they're packing for the Yale trip, Laurel I says, never give her the opportunity to give you a thirty minute lecture on how if you brought the second bathing suit like she told you too, it wouldn't have mattered that the first one strap broke in a freak pool slide incident that no one, including the amazing Kreskin, could have predicted. You would have been covered. So Kriskin is an American mentalist who became

popular on television in the nineteen seventies. He was inspired to become a mentalist by Lee Fawks comic strip man Drake the Magician. So Scott turn and I went, had went to a mentalist, like, oh my god, two weeks ago, we have to have him do it to you. It was but it was pretty crazy. It was pretty crazy. We can invite this mentalist. It hast thing to do with gil my girl, So everyone will have to just

like forgive us for fifteen minutes. He basically said to Tara, think of your first boyfriend like your first kiss, And he wrote it on a piece of paper. I also didn't do anything, by the way, I just sat here and he's like, just look at the screen and the way I'm looking at you right now. He and then he held up the piece of paper with the first boyfriend's named Jacob Tara. Who was that guy? What was his name? So people can look him up? Nevo is his name? Neivo? So he read your mind he can also.

It was like he asked, who was my first kiss? And he's like I was about to say, and he's like, don't say it. Just think of the name. Thing of the name, And then he was like, how many letters are in the name? The name was Dylan job close It was still five letters and he was like, he goes, I don't think. And by the way, he's from was it Israel? So he was like from Israel? Yeah. He was like, I don't know if I spelled the name right.

And then he turns the paper and it's Dylan's was an eye instead of a y. And I was like, how would you ever it took me a second to remember the name of my first how would he know? Are you brave enough to do it? Like? Can we have him on? You have to do it. I have no secret to hide. We will set that up for like one of the next couple of weeks. It is so good. Sorry, I'm so sorry to digress. I know

everyone's groaning, but it was Christian is real. That's the point. Yeah, alright, so we're gonna move to when um Richard um there talking about Richard busing the art gallery and Yale Emily says. And then he talked about the paintings he had seen in Paris, and the color is of Titian, and by the end of the date, you thought he was the most brilliant man in the entire world. Titian was an Italian Venetian painter during the Renaissance, and he did not

like to depict skinny women. He loved the stature and um portly beauty. His beauties often had reddish golden hair, and one of the shades of red red hair is named after the artist who loved to draw it. Many um to draw in many female portraits, and the red hair and color can be described as a dark brown red, not to be confused with auburn red. By the way, I was a little confused, super confused. I was confused by the well I don't think you'll be confused by

this one. Amy. It's when Lorala says that you were the Helena bottom Carter of the society. Set Um, so let me some Burton, Tim Burton. I know, right, that's actually something I didn't know that she was the other woman. Oh, she's the other one. Helen A. Bottom Carter always plays the other woman. She was the other woman, so it was, But was it with Tim Burton? She was the other woman. She ended up marrying Tim Burton, so she was when she was fooling around with Tim Burton while he was

married Kenneth Brenna. She was fooling around with Brana filming Frankenstein in four And then rumors had it that she became romantically and he became romantically entangled with Emma Thompson. He did, yes, and then um, what about Helena? Helena and um, Kenneth dated from before calling it quits and then eventually that's when she married. Well I thought he was married to Uh, he was married to so Kenneth Branna was married to Emma Thompson. Yes, and I think

Helena Bottom Carter was the other one. Boy that Karth Branna gets around, doesn't he boy, he's so busy directing and acting and like, my god. And later did Helena Bottom Carter married Tim Burton? Yes? And then are they they're not together? While he all Tim Burton was seeing Kenneth Brando, they were so it was like there was another woman and another man. It's weird situation. And also, um, she is the first female actress a star in two

films that gross over one billion dollars. Those two films were Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part two and Alice in Wonderland. Well, that confirms she knew I had to pick a mark man. She knew what she was doing, right, Yeah, she gets some good dudes. She gotta get the good dude. I mean, if you're gonna do it, you know, being the billion dollar franchises, so I feel like you would be the only one that would care. But how good

was she and Harry Potter? Oh? I mean she is like still have you seen the Harry Potter um the special they did like a couple months one? I have not, So she she makes an appearance in it, and if you're a Harry Potter fan, you have to see. But like, her character was just so evil I mean, she's just like, there's no one else could have play that part. I agree, Sorry, there's thirty other people that can play that part. People, trust me, there's fifty people just in London that can

play that part. Probably better. You'll just never hear about him. Alright, So we're going to move to the next one. This is when um Loyal is talking to Emily after her button falls off. Emily says, what can we do in a bathroom? Loyal? I says, meet George Michael. That was do you know some It was tad in appropes, but yet very funny, I know, the whole thing. And God, rest, how do you say it? Rest in peace? George Michael?

I love you, but like, oh my god. Yeah. So George Michael was a British pop star who was arrested for lewd X. As ascribed in a Rolling Stone article, area residents complained to police about saying a lewd behavior in the bathroom at will Roger Park in Beverly Hills. Heilty, there you go. I was gonna say, okay, okay, that's no, that's I thought it was a cross street to the cross street from the Beverly Hills Hotel, right, isn't Will Rogers Park over on Sunset? That is something that is sunset,

that is sunset. It's Will I think it's no, it's not will Shi Hotel. Who was the rest of across the street in the park in Sunset? Right? But is that Will Rogers Park are there too, because there's definitely Will Rogers Park Will Roger State. There's two. So there's Will Roger State Historic Park in the Pacific Policies, Brownwood, and then there's Rule Rogers Memorial Park and that's in

Beverly Hill. So this is this is the one. It was the one in Beverly Hills, right, it was cross street from Yeah, because he did that and then he go to lunch. We'll say the chicken selled Sam, oh my gosh, inappropriate. But I love George. I have a couple of hot dogs. You know, what are you gonna? I love George? But yeah, that was that was pee wee herman ish like where you were like what? Yeah?

The four person undercover team respond to the complaint of found Michael alone in the bathroom, engaged in ludac So that's where that was. I didn't even know anyway, kind by himself, by himself Yeah, So he wasn't hurting anybody? Was he really all right? Somebody walked in? Yeah, I guess they were going to get whammed. It was a bold joke. It was a bold joke. Wasn't he with Wham? Yeah? He was with Andrew Riginally speaking of a bold joke.

Did anyone catch and this is back to the recap, but it was when Jess and Rory were kissing and Jess goes, at least we know it works. Did you guys get that? Yeah? But I didn't think that meant you know was I didn't think it meant his John Hammond. I thought you just met Mike by Danielle and I saw Top Gun and John Hammi is in it. And the entire time I could not stop thing about you guys. Yes, of all so jealous. You've seen Top Gun already. I'm

going on Tuesday, but tomorrow, I'm going tomorrow. But yeah, did you think about John hamm when we saw the entire time? Do you know what I said? I thought when you were talking about George Michael that he was going to be caught in that bedroom with don't say it, do not say it, do not even stop. I think we have to move on from George Michael. Alright, alright, and this is actually the last one short one today. Yeah, there wasn't a ton of pop culture in this episode.

I actually noticed that. Yeah, there wasn't. And that's why we have to create our own. That's why we get so side trapped. This one right over my head. I would have never known. Um Rory says you're going to smoke or mind meld with it. Yeah, so mind meld is from Star Trek used by vulcans. A mind meld is a technique used for sharing thoughts experience like we don't know. I mean, I didn't know, I don't I don't know. Guess who was an expert practitioner of this

mind meld? Guess Helen a bottom Carner. You could do that, I was gonna say Leonard Nimoy, whose son directed an early episode of Gilmore Girls. To tie it all around, which somebody on this show loves Star Trek. Some writer clearly love Star Trek. Yeah. When NBC was promoting Star Trek and magazines, all shots of sparks, pointed eyebrows and ears were airbrushed out of the pictures because NBC thought that no one would watch the show due to Spoks

resemblance of the Devil. I'm watching the new one. Now there's a new one. I forgot what it's called. You know what, that makes sense? That actually makes sense to me because of the Devil. But what if the new one is very good and it has um it's good? I can't it has Rebecca Remains Stamos or a wait O'Connell whatever. I knew what The New Star Trek the New Star Trek. It just dropped like the first couple episodes on Paramount, and it has a bunch of cool people.

Ethan Peck plays uh Spa and Rebecca Romaine O'Connell. I love it. It's good. Rebecca Romaine, Stamos O'Connell. Yeah, but I think she took out the Stamos. Why she was just talking about them. She was just talking about she didn't do it at the grocery store. Yeah, they're all cool. I think it's like they're all cool. I mean, I love Jerry O'Connell. She ended up with a great dude. So why is she waxing you just don't want to bump into your ex if you don't look your best.

Why is she saying in public that she she misses him, that you got a click bait headline? There? Am I trying to start the pot here? I think so. I think you got a headline that you didn't click on, and there's probably a lot. I definitely didn't read it. Yeah, that's for sure. That was some clickbait that you gotta dig deep. Didn't hook me. Ah spit the hook spit the hook spit the hockey, evil social media people. Alright, and that's it. That's all. Was the short one today.

That's it. I interrupted about half the time. I think pretty much your average. I think I jumped back. You never said keep going. I never did. I didn't do that. You Wait a minute, Wait a minute. So oh god, I'm still on Helen A. Bottom Carter. Jesus, you guys moved way ahead of me. All right, everybody, So that's it. Thank you, ladies, Thanks, thank you, Danielle, thank you, Tara,
