- 0:21Speaker 1: Hey everybody, Scott Patterson, I Am all In podcast Pop Culture,
- 0:25Speaker 1: Season five, episode eighteen, to Live and let Diarrama. I'm
- 0:29Speaker 1: joined by my intrepid crewe Queen Danielle Taras sued soon
- 0:33Speaker 1: to be Queen Amy Sugarman, the overall Queen, and me
- 0:39Speaker 1: just a popper. Uh here we go. Lorelai on the
- 0:42Speaker 1: phone with Rory telling her mister Twickham died. LORELEI then
- 0:47Speaker 1: apparently he just closed his eyes, muttered something about Lori
- 0:50Speaker 1: Laughlin and that was that that happened to be my
- 0:53Speaker 1: favorite one. Loria Laughlin is an American actress. From nineteen
- 0:57Speaker 1: eighty eight to nineteen ninety five, she played and Becky
- 1:01Speaker 1: on the ABC sitcom Full House.
- 1:03Speaker 3: But at this time she was on Summerland.
- 1:07Speaker 4: And so Summerland is why Summerland had three references to
- 1:12Speaker 4: by name, and this being also a summerline reference, because again,
- 1:16Speaker 4: forgive me, I believe he was watched. Mister Twickham was
- 1:20Speaker 4: watching Summerland as he was on his deathbed.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I guess, as they say.
- 1:27Speaker 2: You know what's so weird though, is I just looked
- 1:29Speaker 2: it up. Summerlin premiered in two thousand and four, but
- 1:32Speaker 2: it was the it got canceled May fifteenth, two thousand
- 1:35Speaker 2: and five, so this.
- 1:36Speaker 4: They wouldn't know that yet because they taped this. So
- 1:40Speaker 4: with Summerlin only on one season.
- 1:42Speaker 2: They were two seasons, so they started two thousand and
- 1:45Speaker 2: four ended two thousand and five.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Oh must Layne.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Laughlin has had her name dragged through the mud over
- 1:52Speaker 1: this college, the bribery scandal and all that stuff. And
- 1:58Speaker 1: I just want to say, you know, I'm met her
- 2:00Speaker 1: at a Bristol farm in Hollywood. She came around the
- 2:04Speaker 1: corner of the aisle and she stopped me and she said,
- 2:07Speaker 1: Oh my god. And I'd never met her before, and
- 2:09Speaker 1: she just said, oh, I have to stop you. She goes,
- 2:12Speaker 1: I love your show. I love your work so much,
- 2:15Speaker 1: so much. Oh it's so good. You just you own
- 2:18Speaker 1: that character. And I just I'm just really want I'm
- 2:21Speaker 1: so glad I ran into and met you and we
- 2:23Speaker 1: kind of struck up a friendship.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Yeah, she's really nice.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I just thought, what a class act, you know what,
- 2:29Speaker 1: because I do that to people Like in that Bristol farm,
- 2:32Speaker 1: I met Gary Oldman and I did.
- 2:36Speaker 3: She's really nice.
- 2:37Speaker 1: She's really really nice. And I ended up doing a
- 2:39Speaker 1: couple of episodes of that nine O two one oh show,
- 2:42Speaker 1: which she was oh yeah, yah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Who were you on that?
- 2:45Speaker 1: I was Matt Lantern's father.
- 2:48Speaker 3: That's right, that's I knew that.
- 2:49Speaker 1: I knew that who was out of prison and he
- 2:52Speaker 1: was all bent to get back into prison. He was
- 2:54Speaker 1: always scamming. There's always a scam.
- 2:57Speaker 3: That was actually a good show.
- 2:58Speaker 4: So Lori Laughlin, she is really nice. Her family is
- 3:02Speaker 4: really nice. And I'll tell this story. We were at
- 3:04Speaker 4: a Dodger game and our friend Becca loved her, like
- 3:08Speaker 4: loved Aunt Becky so much, and she was we were
- 3:11Speaker 4: in like the where you get your food and she
- 3:14Speaker 4: was in there and Becca was losing her mind and
- 3:16Speaker 4: she couldn't have been nicer, Like she was.

- 3:26Speaker 5: the biggest celebrity that has like approached you being like.
- 3:30Speaker 3: I love Luke like a good question.
- 3:32Speaker 5: It was like the top of the list for you
- 3:34Speaker 5: that you kind of were like, Wow, that's cool.
- 3:38Speaker 3: The biggest celebrity that's good that watches Gilmore Girls.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Well, my wife was convinced that Britney Spears left a
- 3:47Speaker 1: message answering machine in two thousand and two to meet me. No. Yeah,
- 3:59Speaker 1: and I just didn't leave. And I listened to the
- 4:00Speaker 1: message a couple of times and I didn't believe it,
- 4:02Speaker 1: so I never called back.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Well, you think it's a prank call.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I thought it was, but I just I don't know.
- 4:11Speaker 1: But something somebody that came up to me, Chad, Michael Murray,
- 4:18Speaker 1: big One. No, I'm kidding. No, I mean a lot
- 4:24Speaker 1: of people have come up to me and and said
- 4:26Speaker 1: really nice things. Yeah, you know, they love the show.
- 4:29Speaker 1: They love the characters, love what I did with the characters.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Very very nice to hear. I was out at dinner
- 4:36Speaker 1: over the weekend at that sushi place in Corpus Christi,
- 4:39Speaker 1: Texas with Michael Rooker, who is a oh yeah, genius
- 4:43Speaker 1: human being.
- 4:44Speaker 4: I mean, just because I love him from Walking Dead.
- 4:48Speaker 1: He's he's such a great guy.
- 4:50Speaker 4: He's Darryl's brother on Walking Dead. He got zombie, you know,
- 4:55Speaker 4: he got attacked, but he was.
- 4:58Speaker 1: He's this character in the Guardians of the Game Alex say,
- 5:00Speaker 1: this is what your do? Is that his name? I
- 5:02Speaker 1: never watched The Blue blue Skinned.
- 5:06Speaker 4: I love Chris Pratt, but I never watched it. Oh
- 5:09Speaker 4: Easton knows Yon do.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Do Yon do? And he was full of compliments as well,
- 5:13Speaker 1: and I was just like, Wow, this is Michael Rooker
- 5:15Speaker 1: saying this to me. And Rooker is like an actor's actor,
- 5:19Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean he debuted in
- 5:21Speaker 1: Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer in nineteen eighty six
- 5:24Speaker 1: and I was in New York study and then doing
- 5:26Speaker 1: theater and that hit like a bombshell and that really
- 5:28Speaker 1: made his career and he was just casting everything. He's
- 5:31Speaker 1: just great. So anyway, we digress, we do who's up?
- 5:38Speaker 3: Go do this fun too?
- 5:40Speaker 1: You want me to do this? Rory and Paris arguing
- 5:42Speaker 1: because they're both so upset about you know what this is?
- 5:45Speaker 1: You want to?
- 5:46Speaker 3: Yeah, do this? Actually, I do know what it is.
- 5:47Speaker 2: You do it?
- 5:48Speaker 3: You do it though?
- 5:48Speaker 1: All right? All right? So Rory uh and Paris are
- 5:51Speaker 1: arguing because they're both so upset to Logan and Doyle
- 5:53Speaker 1: aren't calling them. You know, maybe Logan and Doyle are together,
- 5:58Speaker 1: Maybe they're doing okay Rory.
- 6:01Speaker 3: First of all, maybe they're on a story.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Why you know, that would have been a better storyline
- 6:05Speaker 1: than anyway, having fun re enacting the Maxell Tape ad.
- 6:12Speaker 1: The Maxell Tape Ad is an ad from the early
- 6:14Speaker 1: eighties that epitomizes the significance of cassette tapes during that time.
- 6:20Speaker 1: It's a visual depiction of loud music. The audio playing
- 6:24Speaker 1: from the tape is so clean and powerful that it
- 6:26Speaker 1: blows the listener away. The tilts of the lampshades, the
- 6:30Speaker 1: hair and the tie flying back, and the hands tightly
- 6:35Speaker 1: gripping the chair all convey the impact of the music.
- 6:40Speaker 1: There's a young man with long, dark hair with sunglasses
- 6:43Speaker 1: sitting there in that chair. Rory uses this reference because
- 6:46Speaker 1: Paris is listening to the TV, so loud is not.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Also, how she was sitting in the chair.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Yes, and she was kind of slumped.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Yeah, I can do this one, Laura l I, responding
- 7:02Speaker 4: to the interviewer when asking about her upbringing. You know
- 7:05Speaker 4: Superman's Fortress of Solitude, a Jamaican beach, compared to my
- 7:09Speaker 4: mother's house. First of all, I'm a big Superman fan.
- 7:13Speaker 1: The Christopher I just got it. I just got it.
- 7:15Speaker 1: The biggest celebrity that ever approached me, Eve with kudos.
- 7:18Speaker 1: No Fay done away, Oh fake done away? Goode Faye
- 7:21Speaker 1: Dunaway was at a Warner Brothers party and she sought
- 7:24Speaker 1: me out. She says, you know, I was like, what
- 7:28Speaker 1: this is fake?
- 7:29Speaker 4: Dunaway, Yeah, no major, But I would have preferred if
- 7:32Speaker 4: it was Christopher Reeve because I.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Love him so much.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I never never, I never got to meet you.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Wish you did. I love him.
- 7:39Speaker 1: I did an. I had an elevator encounter with Michelle
- 7:42Speaker 1: Pfeiffer first of all, but that was in the eighties.
- 7:44Speaker 1: That was did Gilmore, so she couldn't have given me
- 7:48Speaker 1: props on Luke in nineteen eighty seven.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Correct, But let's bowl, Let's bowl, Let's rock and roll.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Which is what I wanted to do to work out anyway.
- 8:01Speaker 1: That's because I want to cool.
- 8:06Speaker 3: From that movie. That's fine. Back to Superman.
- 8:12Speaker 4: The Fortress of Solitude is home base for Superman. Is
- 8:15Speaker 4: usually located in one of the poles, meaning the North
- 8:18Speaker 4: or South, but I think it was the North, and
- 8:20Speaker 4: serves as a place to store weapons and machinery from Krypton.
- 8:24Speaker 4: It appears to be built entirely from either crystal or ice.
- 8:27Speaker 4: Lorala uses this reference to exaggerate how cold her home
- 8:30Speaker 4: was in her childhood, but let's go back to the
- 8:33Speaker 4: Fortress of Solitude. So basically, if you remember in the
- 8:36Speaker 4: first Superman, I don't even think it was Christopher Reeve yet.
- 8:39Speaker 4: I think it was the actor that plays yeah, and
- 8:43Speaker 4: he goes and what happens is he has that one
- 8:47Speaker 4: icicle basically, and I think he gets and throws it,
- 8:51Speaker 4: and then we see the Fortress of Solitude, and then
- 8:54Speaker 4: I think the next scene is Christopher Reeve is Superman.
- 9:00Speaker 3: And I'll check myself on this, but now I know
- 9:04Speaker 3: what I'm doing tonight.
- 9:11Speaker 1: All right. Let Laurel I saying she could credit her
- 9:14Speaker 1: mother when it comes to how to run a staff. Laurli, well,
- 9:17Speaker 1: I consider what my mother would do in a given situation.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Then I dial it back and I have what Mussolini
- 9:24Speaker 1: would do. Then I dial it back and I have
- 9:26Speaker 1: what Stalin would do, and then I dial that back
- 9:29Speaker 1: and then it starts approaching what a sane person would do.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Benito Mussolini was an Italian dictator, I was going to
- 9:35Speaker 1: say director, the dictator, and a journalist who founded and
- 9:40Speaker 1: led the National Fascist Party. He ended up hanging upside
- 9:46Speaker 1: down with his wife at a guess station, not living.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Joseph Stalin was a Soviet politician, political theorist, and revolutionary
- 9:58Speaker 1: who gained dictatorial power over the Soviet Union in the
- 10:03Speaker 1: nineteen twenties. Laurela uses these two references to compare her
- 10:10Speaker 1: mother's actions to dictators m brutal. Well, yeah, Rue told
- 10:17Speaker 1: ruet tow she didn't. She even mentioned Paul Pott too. Yeah. Anyway, Yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 1: just not complimentary.
- 10:24Speaker 3: At all, Queen Danielle, would you want to go sure?
- 10:29Speaker 5: Lorelai is still word vomiting to the interviewer Sandra about Emily,
- 10:33Speaker 5: and laurel Lai says, I will tell you one story
- 10:36Speaker 5: of my mother on family vacation. Jimmy Carter was there, and.
- 10:39Speaker 3: He had a bigger room.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Jimmy Carter was the President of the United States from
- 10:44Speaker 5: nineteen seventy seven to nineteen eighty one. He is a
- 10:46Speaker 5: member of the Democratic Party and served as the seventy
- 10:49Speaker 5: sixth Governor of Georgia from nineteen seventy one to nineteen
- 10:52Speaker 5: seventy five. And obviously the reference is nobody has a
- 10:56Speaker 5: bigger room than Emily. So and also clearly through.
- 11:00Speaker 3: It, God bless Jimmy Carter.
- 11:02Speaker 6: He's like a hundred he's still in the yes, and
- 11:07Speaker 6: the Rosalin and they've been married for like seventy years.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Oh, I don't even want to say it. I love them.
- 11:20Speaker 3: That's like the notebook. They're just gonna like be together.
- 11:23Speaker 3: But anyway, on that sad note Hora.
- 11:29Speaker 2: All right, So Paris that lorealizes when Rory gets there
- 11:34Speaker 2: and says, as soon as she got on the road,
- 11:35Speaker 2: she realized her parents don't have any more property in
- 11:38Speaker 2: the US. Paris says, since the irs red Fox, my
- 11:41Speaker 2: father a place in Asylum Hill, the Nantucket cottage, even
- 11:46Speaker 2: the crack house in Harlem that we converted to a
- 11:49Speaker 2: co op was sold to one of the Queer Eye guys.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Queer Eyes an American reality television series that features a
- 11:56Speaker 2: team of gay professionals in the fields of fashion, professional grooming,
- 11:59Speaker 2: interior design, entertainment, and culture. The Fab Five would the
- 12:03Speaker 2: Fab Five would perform a makeover or a make better, revamping, wardrobe, redecorating,
- 12:09Speaker 2: and offering lifestyle.
- 12:10Speaker 4: And this was the Carson Kresley Queer Eye, not the
- 12:13Speaker 4: Jonathan Vaness.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Yeah. Queer the first round. Yeah, oh wait, I think
- 12:18Speaker 3: we missed one.
- 12:18Speaker 4: Whoever's going so advancing there, going a little crazy there?
- 12:23Speaker 1: Uh yeah, all right, Laura I telling Rory about her
- 12:26Speaker 1: interview and how the interviewer loved her Emily's stories. Laura
- 12:30Speaker 1: Lai I called her the female Paul Pot. Paul Pott, Yeah,
- 12:34Speaker 1: Cambodian revolutionary dictator and politician who ruled Cambodia as Prime
- 12:39Speaker 1: Minister of Democratic Campuccia. Okay, if that's the correct pronunciation
- 12:45Speaker 1: between seventy six and seventy nine.
- 12:50Speaker 3: I actually had never heard of him.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Paul Pott.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Sorry, oh geez, and I passed the ap history test
- 12:56Speaker 4: and I'd still had never heard of him. Rory telling
- 12:59Speaker 4: Laura Lai that Emily is going to read the article.
- 13:02Speaker 4: Let her get all. Condaleza Rice to my Barbara Boxer
- 13:05Speaker 4: if she wants. Condaliza Rice served as the United States
- 13:08Speaker 4: Secretary of State from two thousand and five to two
- 13:10Speaker 4: thousand and nine. Barbara Boxer, who appeared on Gilmour Girls,
- 13:15Speaker 4: served as United States Senator from ninety three to twenty seventeen.
- 13:19Speaker 4: California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer criticized Rice in relation to
- 13:23Speaker 4: the war in Iraq. During Rice's confirmation hearing for US
- 13:27Speaker 4: Secretary of State in two thousand and five, Boxer stated,
- 13:29Speaker 4: I personally believe This is my personal view that your
- 13:32Speaker 4: loyalty to the mission you were given to sell the
- 13:34Speaker 4: war overwhelmed your respect for the truth. Oh I'm not
- 13:39Speaker 4: an expert enough to know anything about that historical reference, but.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Barbara Boxer was on.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Gilmore, Laura and Suki leaving the Star's Hollow Museum. Laurli,
- 13:53Speaker 1: we have to bring everyone we know to this immediately
- 13:55Speaker 1: before the Nderlanders swoop in and whisk it away to Broadway,
- 14:00Speaker 1: Suki and at three bucks a pop, that crappy olt
- 14:04Speaker 1: Abba show cost one hundred bucks. Suki is referring to
- 14:07Speaker 1: Mama Mia. Mamam is based on the songs of Abba,
- 14:11Speaker 1: a Swedish dance pop group active from nineteen seventy two
- 14:16Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty two and one of the most popular

- 14:28Speaker 1: The musical opened on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theater
- 14:32Speaker 1: on October eighteenth, two thousand and one, and.
- 14:36Speaker 2: They have a huge resurgence on TikTok with all their
- 14:39Speaker 2: own today. Yeah, in the pandemic, people were just crushing
- 14:43Speaker 2: to Abba apparently.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well that brings us to the end of
- 14:51Speaker 1: another wonderful pop culture episode.
- 14:54Speaker 3: It was good, but it was hint lacklustered. You get the.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Feelings that Amy and Dan Palladino's apartment in New York
- 15:05Speaker 1: City is the weirdest place you've ever been. Totally, I
- 15:12Speaker 1: have not had the privileges to enter that layer.
- 15:15Speaker 3: But it's kind of yeah, I bet it's kind of.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I bet it's a little freaky.
- 15:21Speaker 3: Well, now we're.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Looking it up to see if they've ever been in
- 15:23Speaker 4: like architectural diety.
- 15:24Speaker 2: I would love to know if they've taken stuff from
- 15:27Speaker 2: set of like Gilmark Girls or masl or if they
- 15:30Speaker 2: have stuff from.
- 15:31Speaker 1: But if they have every you know, board game and
- 15:35Speaker 1: album and poster from all these pop culture references, you
- 15:38Speaker 1: know they live in them.
- 15:41Speaker 3: It's exactly how I pictured it.
- 15:43Speaker 4: There's a couple of pictures, so I'm assuming this is
- 15:48Speaker 4: from their house, and it's exactly how.
- 15:51Speaker 3: I pictured it.
- 15:56Speaker 1: What is that that's not inside her house?
- 15:58Speaker 3: That's what I think it maybe is.
- 16:00Speaker 1: That's her office at Warner Brothers.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Oh well, that is that the office.
- 16:05Speaker 1: The office was always decorated like a New Orleans boudoir.
- 16:10Speaker 4: It's amazing because it has leopard rug and then there's
- 16:12Speaker 4: a different pattern, a different pattern on the wall chandelier.
- 16:15Speaker 1: And I'm like, every time I walked into her office
- 16:19Speaker 1: at Warner Brothers to discuss something, you know, I wanted
- 16:22Speaker 1: to order crawfish, you know what I mean.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Totally cozy though, I like it.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Oh yeah, very very very eclectic, eccentric.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Eclectic is a great word.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Yeah, and indeed cozy, Yes.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Yeah, cozy. I would be stoked if my office looked
