Two of those five and a half years he was held in solitary confinement. And boy, he really suffered and they broke his bones and they tortured him, and it

Can I go back and give you a couple of fun facts about the show? Alice? Go right ahead? Yes, so okay. Alice's son was played by Philip McKeon in, whose real life sister Nancy McKeon is was Joe on

Luke has been grumpy for the past few days. Lorela, days, You've been stomping around barking at people for days, Laurel, Luke, Sorry, I have not, Lorela, Yes, ku Joe, you have, Luke, I always talk to people like that, Laurel. I know, Benji, you don't. You didn't you don't, uh, Luke, I'll be fine tomorrow, Laurela. Really, last see, I guess that these dog references are apropos I suppose because I knew Kujo was foaming at the mouth a lot. I remember that film.

It was almost like Coujo made sense, but then Benji and Lassie felt like she was just trying to calm him down. I think he's he is loyal and as regal as Lassie. I think that's what I got from it. Thank you, and Benji. I don't even know what that referenced me. What is Benji? Benji was the dog Benji Vengji b b Benjie. No, that's big. Benji was just a really cute dog. Alright, Kujo is a ninete psychological horror novel by American writer Stephen King about a rabid

saint Bernard. Yeah, Yeah, was no freaking joke. Benji nut Bingo Benji is a small, lovable mixed breed dog with an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time, usually to help somebody overcome a problem. Uh. He has been in the focus of several movies from seventy four through the two thousands. Lassie is a fictional female rough Collie dog and is featured in a short story by Eric Knight that was later explained on a full length novel called Lassie Comes Home. There have been

twelve Lassie movies made. Um, Laura I referring uh, sorry, Laura like calling Luke famous dog names because she said he's been barking at people for days. Okay, Emily is upset. Rory is going to go on a date. Emily, you will not dress her up in one of those Sex in the City's ensembles, Louraly, how do you know about sex in the City? Sex and the City was a Hitte would wear a Sex in the City outfit because

those that fashion is amazed. Not according to Emily, that pink tutoo skirt and just I a you know, on the Sex in the City flash and fashion. You've got the floor because I'm oh my god, I'm happy too, and I'm totally ignorant on the subject. Number one Sex City, this series, amazing fashion, iconic Sex in the City movies. Look love it or don't love it? The new Sex in the City that's called am just like that. It's bringing the fashion too. I spent a shocking amount of

money trying to find the same turquoise necklace. I seem to have an obsessional turkoise nex Sarah Jessica Parker wears actually searching from my wife. Yeah, Backs in the City had so many fashion trends, like, oh my god, it was brilliant, device brilliant. Yes, it was on it about the same time. Yes, anyway. It was HBO hit show from nine to two thousand and four, starring Sarah Jessic Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Catrall, and Kristin Davis. At the time of this episode, Sex in the City was in its

sixth season and a huge hit on HBO. Laureli is surprised that Emily, who is a conservative uh would know the show because of its modern themes of love and sexuality. Remember the big flowers? Remember when that was the big thing, Sarah Jessica Park Park Girl always wore the big flower on her like lapel or on her tank top. Have you not seen Second? I have, but not every single episode. Oh yeah I didn't. I didn't watch that show, Scott, have you never seen one? I haven't. No, I haven't.

I'm not aware. I'm not aware of the show. I'm aware of its impact on the culture and literally, my heartbreaks for you. My heartbreaks for you. Thank you, appreciate that you are the wind. You're the wind beneath my wings. Um and I will start, I'll catch up, I'll watch it. I will you should. I know, really, I feel like there's a giant hole. I would venture to say it's up there in my top ten with Gilmore Girls. Yeah, there in my top ten of all time. You're you

got me on that one. Emily is referring to sex in the City's ensemble outfit in a negative way because women on the show dressed more promiscuously according to Emily standards, but in fact it was an iconic fashion forward show. Yeah, they didn't dress like rampily. M m m m m m mmmm. Alright, so Natalie's talking about a bench. They found a dragonfly and Suki. I Love Little House on the Parade? Jacket Dog? Where is Lindsay Sydney green Bush?

Rachel Lindsay Renee Bush and Sydney Robin dan A Bush are former former child actress is best known for their combined alternating role as Carrie Carrie Ingles in the drama series Little House on the Prairie. The opening credit of the series showed one of the twins running in the meadow behind the credit Lindsay Sydney green Bush, leading many viewers to believe it was one actress's full name. Uh. During the course of the series, that Sydney had broken

her arms several times and it was in a cast. Uh. Lindsay did most of the scenes as Carrie. She broke her arms several times or in several prices be annoying. Can you give me the line again from Gilmore? Now that I know what the heck is happening? I love I Love Little House on the Prairie. Jack the Dog,

Where is Lindsay Sydney Greenbush? That's says, yeah, boy, that's a reference and a half and that was a lot of a lot, okay, Laura La explaining the first movie short from called The Arrival of the Mail Train or the Arrival of Mail Train. Laurela, Okay, just one more warning. When they showed the first motion picture over a hundred years ago at Feast your train rushing towards the camera, and people were so sure the train was going to burst off the screen and crush them that they ran

away in terror. Now, Luke, the train is not going to leave the screen. Okay. The Arrival of Mail Train was the first film that only lasted fifty seconds and cost panic because nobody had ever seen a moving photograph before. People were scared and moved out of their seats to the back of the theater. I never knew this, but I guess that makes sense. If you've never seen a movie and you see your first movie, you'd be like, what is what's happening? That's it? Anyway? That is a rap? No,

it isn't sure, isn't sure? Sure? Isn't Scott? Because I have to give you my Andy Gibb Andy Gill. Okay, for those of you that love Andy, get here's what you're gonna do.
