  Speaker 1: for her softball interviews. Was once Dan Rather's co ankorball interviews. Really,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I never thought Connie was like a softball Oh. Sure,

  Speaker 1: Sid Vicious on to the next reference of Sid and Nancy.

• 3:29
  Speaker 1: referring to Lorla being pregnant and the twins, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: maybe fighting in her stomach, maybe causing kicks. Um. Even
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: though Sid was the sex Pistols bassis guitarist, he didn't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: know how to play that well. And then Leopold and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Loebe We've referenced this before. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loewe,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: too well educated nineen year olds from the upper class
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Chicago families, decided or caused a scandal when they tried
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to convince uh Or they were convicted of the murders
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of Bobby Frank's so again fighting in her stomach. We've
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: referenced this before in the recap episode. So Lorela calls
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Rory about her dream. Rory says, you had another dream
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: lor license. Yes, Roy says, the doctor is in lor
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: license and Bill Maher is canceled. The name of the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: show was politically incorrect. For God's sake, didn't anyone read
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the title? He was supposed to say those things. So first,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the doctor is in is a classic line of Lucy's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in the Peanuts comic strip Lucy is the therapist and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: eliminates stand kind of booth. One piece of advice from Lucy.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You can't drift along forever. You have to direct your thinking.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And then Bill Maher Jr. Is an American stand up comedian,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: television hosts, social critic, political commentator, author, and actor. Bill Maher,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: host of the hit show Politically Correct on ABC, was
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: canceled by the network's parent company, Disney with no real
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: explanation back in June two. It turns out it was
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: what we talked about after the September eleven next Jackson
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: said is Tasuki. Judy Vincent has to go to work now.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Actress Judy Garland married Meet Meet Me in St. Louis
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: director Vincent Minnelli. They were married six years and had
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a daughter, Liza Minelli. Judy Garland's real name is Francis
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Gum and she used to perform with her sisters, the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Gum Sisters, but changed their name to the Garland Sisters.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Then she was inspired by Jagy Carmichael song Judy and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: changed her name to Judy Um. Judy has five husbands,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: had five husbands no longer, and Liza and Ellie went
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: on to have four husbands. Family tradition done done um.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Most recently, uh, Liza Minelli was seen on the stage
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of the two thousand twenty two Oscars presenting Best Picture
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: with Lady Gaga. Everyone talks about that being like the moment,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what a beautiful, what a beautiful example of generosity and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: heart coming out of Lady Gaga, And this is the thing,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: thank god it was. It went viral. Thank god it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: went viral to counter balanced that ugly incident. I mean,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: what a what a heart. I think that is who
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Lady Gaga is. She did the same thing with Tony Bennett,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: like she just is like beyond lovely, cares so much
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: about people and at the Grammys. She was helping people
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: accept their awards as they walked up the stairs. She
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: helped them with their addresses. And like Queen Gaga, Lady
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Gaga is a cool lady, lady cool, very easy to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: root for, you know. I think that's so genuinely who
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: she is. She's not doing it for us to all
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: fawn over her or like her. She's doing it because
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that is literally who she is. Just an outstanding example
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of humanity. Really, just yeah, good for her. M Lady
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Jo generous could just say let go generous, Lady Jo
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Jo generous punter better it was next up. Rory has
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: asked about her time in d C. Very says I
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: got to see Archie Bunker's chair at the Smithsonian when
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I was about her favorite moments. Rory is referring to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the wing chair used by a character Archie Bunker, on
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the television sitcom All in the Family from nineteen seventy nine.

  Speaker 1: The polstered would frame chair was purchased for the show
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: from a thrift store in southern California and used in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: production until the final season. We already know the beloved
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Sally Struthers was part of the iconic show UM But
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: here's one more fact. All In the Family had two pilots.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: They changed things based on the audience reactions and network suggestions.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: All In the Family's first pilot, in nineteen sixty eight
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: was under the title Justice for All. It featured two
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: different actors as Mike and Gloria, and Archie's last name

  Speaker 1: reunited as Amy just you know, saying her heart out
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for it. You think they get sick of singing that concert? No,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: because you know why they bought their house. Do you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: know these bands they get sick of playing these hit
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: songs because it's all that like like led Zeppelin hated
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: playing Stairwoid to Heaven. They couldn't stand it. True. But
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: in the wise wise words of Tricia Yearwood, I always
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: bring this quote out. She said, sing the one that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: brung yet, And it's like these artists must always sing
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the one that brung you sing the hits people love.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: That's what the Rolling Stones still do that in concert thing.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: There there are no dummies. They they bring out their big,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: big bats when they go on concert. I think it's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: like I think I heard John bon Jovi talking about this,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: which I'm not like the biggest John bon Jovi fan,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: but he said, you got to do like eight hits
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and then you can do a couple of new songs
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and maybe like a deep album cut and a cover,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: couple covers. That's what you know, That's what put them
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: on that stage is those hits. They better play them. Yep.

• 12:41
  Speaker 1: And so it was so I remember watching the Gilmore
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Live you know, not live live, but you know what
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I mean back in the when it first ran that joke,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and it was like, oh my god, because I was
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the summer that everyone was just like talking about that movie,
• 12:55

• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the coupled life. And I swear I hate admitting it
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: because I fancy myself wonder Woman, but I really wanted
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the whole package. So we've talked about Wonder Woman a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: few times. You can never talk about her enough. Amy's favorite. Um,

• 14:16
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's good Dote or good dot, but
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it's definitely she was. Well, it doesn't matter because she
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: was paid ten million dollars for that film Crazy, which
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: she also produces. But that's thirty three times more than
• 14:30

• 14:36
  Speaker 1: she paid more than ten million dollars to lead a
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: big ten pole film. Ten million seems pretty good? Yeah,
• 14:46

  Speaker 1: big male stars make. Right. Did she get a back
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: end deal? Did she get points? I don't know, But

• 15:47
  Speaker 1: l A. I don't know. Well, I mean, you leave
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: an eighty six million dollar mansion. Maybe he's downsizing. Maybe
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the kids are going to college. I don't downsizing. He's
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: got all that Wallburger's money to Mark, but I didn't downsize.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: That's not in his vocabulary. I don't know. I googled
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: net Worth Mark wallburg because I thought, how does he
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: have eighties six million dollar house? He's got plenty of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the wall Burgers is doing well? I think, so have
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you had one? I liked it. I went to the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: one on Sunset and Sunset Plaza. That's not Wallburgers. It
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: was a pop up. No, no, that was a Wallburger's.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It didn't last long there. I thought. The only one
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: is Morongo Casino No, there was one right there on
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Sunset Bulevard and Sunset Place. There was a Wall Burgers
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and I went there and I enjoyed my burger. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: really had had. I had a meeting with a director
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and he said, meet me at Wallburgers. And I said, sure, man, Yeah,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: isn't it their slogan, meet me at Wallburgers? Up? Meet me?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: You are I stand correct? Is it still there? No?
• 16:53

• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a Papa there it is? Look guys, yeah, it wasn't
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a pop They took over a space. I think they.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I think they, Oh God, this thing changes. I think
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: that place used to be Cafe Med and then then
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it became Wallburgers, and Cafe Med was very popular. And
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: then that used to Cafe Med was there forever and
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: then it then it was gone. And that was a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: great lunch place because it had an outdoor patio and
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you could sit there and you could you could just
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: people watch right on Sounds at Boulevard, right in the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: heart of it. It was really a great place to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: have lunch. Yeah. I don't know if you can go

  Speaker 1: for his role along with a couple of other whoa whoa,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: whoa whoa. Okay, I saw this film on the plane
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: back from Atlanta because I went to a convention in Atlanta. Um, good,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: it's his performance in that was great. It was greatness.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: It was Denzel level greatness. And nobody can touch Denzel
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: right you really, it's hard. You'd be hard pressed defying
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: anybody with that kind of talent. Um, you know, Uh,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Will Smith delivered an incredible performance, being credible. He was unrecognizable.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It was a great role. His production company, UH Westbrook
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: uh bankrolled it right produced it. It was stunning. It
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: was a very commercial film with a very compelling family
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: story about how these girls came from nothing in Compton
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and they had this father who just trained him and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: trained him and trained him and trained him and forced
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: his way a into very tony bel air tennis clubs
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to get great teachers to instruct his daughters. And he
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: just wasn't taken no for an answer. Um. It was
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a stunning performance. And after I saw that, I said,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: if that doesn't win the Oscar, nothing will. I mean,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that was denzelion. That was washingtony and quality work. Um
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: And I know, listen, he did a really horrendous thing.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: But I can't take away from that performance. That performance
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: is going to go down as probably his crowning achievement.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was something that was really something. It's
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the role that you pick. Oh, you have to see
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: this thing. And it was about him protecting his girls
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: against all those in the media and in in in
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and and all of these clothing companies and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: sponsors wanting to exploit his his daughters. And he was
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: in this protective mode, you know, and that's the character
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that he played. And there's a scene in there that
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: some point it made me really choke up because because
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Venus was the one that was being pushed first, because
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: they didn't have enough money to train both of them, right,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: so Venus was was getting the special treatment. And she
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: was twelve thirteen years old, and there was all this
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: controversy because she wasn't playing in tournaments. She was just
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: training down in Florida with Um, John Burntell's character that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the that the tennis an. Yeah he's great, um and uh.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And then they decided, you know, that she was gonna
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: debut in California, in Oakland at this tournament, this big tournament,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and so she was doing press for that at in
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Boca Ratone at the Tennis Academy and the most poignant
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: scene of the whole film for me was that, you know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the The interviewer was saying, do you really think that
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you can at fourteen years old going there and compete
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and you may face around your Sanchez Vicario the number
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: one in the world. You really think you compete? And
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and her answer was yes, I'm very confident, I'm very
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: well prepared, and uh, I think I can win. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: that's the answer she gave. And then the guy keeps pressing, goes,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: really do you really think, I mean, come on, let's
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: think about it. Your fourth and that's when her father
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: stepped in, played by Will Smith, and just be rated
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: this guy, I mean really got in his face and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: screamed at him, said that's a fourteen year old child.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: You want to put doubt in her mind? And I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: was just like I was like yeah, and everybody in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the plane watching it was like yeah, So anyway, that's
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: my two cents. Great film worth seeing. You know, I
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: know Will did a bad thing and he's gonna pay
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: a heavy price for it. Um, but you cannot take
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: away um that performance. That was stunning, stunning, stunning, stunning.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I'd like to thank the Academy.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say thank you for coming to my tent. Talk.
