- 1:14Speaker 4: is a children's book written by E. B. White and
- 1:17Speaker 4: is considered a classic. The book was adapted into an
- 1:20Speaker 4: animated feature and a live action film, And did you
- 1:23Speaker 4: Know In Charlotte's web. In the live action movie, there
- 1:25Speaker 4: were forty seven Wilbers on set because the piglets grew
- 1:30Speaker 4: up so fast.
- 1:31Speaker 1: You can you imagine being the pig wrangler.
- 1:35Speaker 5: No, there's a lot of pigs.
- 1:37Speaker 1: That's a lot of piglets.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Lot.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Charlotte is explaining why she missed the table manner session
- 1:45Speaker 1: for the summer Cotillion. Charlotte, I'm awfully sorry about that,
- 1:48Speaker 1: Missus Gilmore. My grandparents took me to account Basie tribute
- 1:51Speaker 1: at Tanglewood. Count Basie was a jazz pianist, organist, bandleader,
- 1:58Speaker 1: and composer. Nineteen thirty five, formed the Count Basie Orchestra
- 2:01Speaker 1: and performed with them for over fifty years, at the
- 2:05Speaker 1: very top.
- 2:06Speaker 3: The zenith of that business.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Did you know? Count Basie's most famous collaborators included Frank
- 2:12Speaker 1: Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Bassi's orchestra performed with Sinatra several times.
- 2:20Speaker 1: What a man, what a time.
- 2:22Speaker 5: I think you should do the next one too, except your.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Alley really yeah, all right too in a row. I
- 2:29Speaker 1: mean we're breaking president here I go. I will need
- 2:32Speaker 1: extra pay.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Just letting you know.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Rory is helping tutor at Paris's sat Prep program. When
- 2:40Speaker 1: the timer goes off Paris, that's it pencils down. That
- 2:42Speaker 1: means you, Casanova, time is up everyone else, unless your
- 2:46Speaker 1: parents want to start paying overtime, which for many of
- 2:48Speaker 1: you might be a good idea. A Jacomo Casanovo was
- 2:52Speaker 1: a Venetian who lived from seventeen twenty five to seventeen
- 2:57Speaker 1: ninety eight. He was an adventure and author. He became
- 2:59Speaker 1: known as a ladies man. In his memoir, he wrote
- 3:02Speaker 1: that he made love to one hundred and thirty two
- 3:06Speaker 1: women hardly, hardly Wilt Chamberlain's standards. That's like Wilt Chamberlain
- 3:11Speaker 1: in one in a month.
- 3:12Speaker 5: I never knew his first name was Jakomo.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Though, Oh no, you know, I didn't either. I thought
- 3:17Speaker 1: it was Fred. His memoir has been turned into many
- 3:22Speaker 1: film adaptations starring Heath Ledger, Tony Curtis, Bob Hope, Donald Sutherland.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I think that Donald Sutherland was Bob Hope, Fellini Bob Hope.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Not to be right, that's not, yeah, it's not.
- 3:39Speaker 3: You would normally think God.
- 3:41Speaker 5: To Sully the great name of Bob Hope.
- 3:43Speaker 1: But yet, what Casanova? Did you know that Casanova achieved
- 3:51Speaker 1: celebrity status by mingling with famous people and making himself
- 3:54Speaker 1: the subject of gossip. He hobnobbed with Voltaire, Catherine the Gray,
- 4:00Speaker 1: and Benjamin Franklin. Well, wow, isn't he special anyway? I think, Amy,
- 4:09Speaker 1: it's this one. Let's know, I want to do this one.
- 4:12Speaker 5: I was going to say this one is better for
- 4:14Speaker 5: you too.
- 4:15Speaker 1: It really truly is, because I've actually read Henry Miller books.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Rory and Lane are in the library reading books to
- 4:23Speaker 1: help out with the recent problems pregnancy and boys. Rory, well,
- 4:26Speaker 1: it's supposed to be metaphorical and evocative. It's Henry Miller, Lane.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Henry Miller has better stuff than that. Believe me. This
- 4:34Speaker 1: is not why they banned his books. Henry Miller was
- 4:38Speaker 1: a writer who published several semi autobiographical novels. His work
- 4:42Speaker 1: blended personal philosophy, social critique, UH, and candid depictions of
- 4:48Speaker 1: s X. His books were banned for decades in the
- 4:53Speaker 1: United States. I remember in high school reading a book
- 4:58Speaker 1: that has called The Time of the Assassin. It was
- 5:00Speaker 1: a book about Rombo.
- 5:01Speaker 5: I had never even heard of this guy until Gilmore Girls.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Oh Henry Miller, really, oh wow? The book Rory is
- 5:08Speaker 1: reading is called sexist The first volume is the Rosie
- 5:13Speaker 1: Crucifixion Trilogy. The book is about Henry Miller's early sexual
- 5:17Speaker 1: escapades in Brooklyn. Did you know Henry Miller had five wives? Shocking?
- 5:23Speaker 1: I was gonna say shocker. I wasn't about to read
- 5:28Speaker 1: attended church regularly. It was going to be had five wives.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
- 5:43Speaker 5: This was funny. Lourlai welcomes the young girls to the
- 5:46Speaker 5: inn to practice for cotillion. Is the library ready for us,
- 5:49Speaker 5: Emily says Lorlai. Yes, the tables are set and the
- 5:52Speaker 5: tea is brewed, and I have hired some extra poor
- 5:54Speaker 5: people for the girls to look down on. Charlotte. She's
- 5:57Speaker 5: the one I told you about a regular. Immagene Coka Michelle,
- 6:01Speaker 5: Oh my god, I love them. They're like Madame Alexander
- 6:04Speaker 5: dolls come to life.
- 6:05Speaker 2: So.
- 6:05Speaker 5: Immagene Coca was a comic actress, best known for her
- 6:08Speaker 5: role on Your Show of Shows with Sid Caesar. She
- 6:10Speaker 5: was nominated for five Emmy Awards and won for Best
- 6:13Speaker 5: Actress in nineteen fifty one. But most people listening to
- 6:16Speaker 5: this podcast know are from one of two things. Her
- 6:19Speaker 5: role on The Brady Bunch, where she was to look
- 6:23Speaker 5: like jan and I think Jan was kind of like
- 6:26Speaker 5: bent out of shape that in earlier years she looked
- 6:30Speaker 5: like Imogene Coca and it's like, come on, Jan, and
- 6:34Speaker 5: she's Aunt Edna from vacation. Who the dog Pete on
- 6:40Speaker 5: the sandwich?
- 6:41Speaker 3: She died.
- 6:42Speaker 5: They put her on top of the car.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Oh, that was Imagene Coca.
- 6:45Speaker 5: Yeah, these are classic imaging Coca roles that we might know.
- 6:50Speaker 5: Immagene Coca survived a serious car accident in nineteen seventy
- 6:53Speaker 5: three with left her without sight in her right eye.
- 6:57Speaker 5: Now we also can talk about Madame Alexander Dolls. Madam
- 7:00Speaker 5: Alexander Doll Company is a manufacturer of collectible dolls founded
- 7:04Speaker 5: by Beatrix Alexander in nineteen twenty six. Madam Alexander created
- 7:08Speaker 5: the first doll based on a licensed character, which was
- 7:10Speaker 5: Scarlettlehair from the movie Gone with the Wind and.
- 7:13Speaker 1: A nice fact that's a nice factory tire. Europe was
- 7:19Speaker 1: the last one.
- 7:19Speaker 4: There weren't that many of this.
- 7:21Speaker 5: I feel like I have a theory on that they
- 7:23Speaker 5: bombarded us with so many weird pop culture references, not weird,
- 7:28Speaker 5: but too many that it got weird. In the one
- 7:31Speaker 5: before that.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Somebody was like dialog a wow, Also, this is truly
- 7:37Speaker 1: one of the big reasons why everything feels off, because
- 7:40Speaker 1: the pop culture references are I don't know, maybe.
- 7:43Speaker 5: Really sure, they're mostly there's very few, they're very historical,
- 7:47Speaker 5: and I think it's because, like you know how you
- 7:49Speaker 5: said you get notes. I bet you someone gave a
- 7:51Speaker 5: note like too many and then they just did nothing.
- 7:54Speaker 4: I wonder also, did you notice in so far the
- 7:56Speaker 4: first three episodes, there's a lot of food talk, like
- 8:00Speaker 4: more than pop culture.
- 8:02Speaker 5: Maybe it's like a crutch they're like when in doubt
- 8:04Speaker 5: talk about food or pop culture.
- 8:06Speaker 4: Yeah, like PP and J pop tarts, like we're just
- 8:08Speaker 4: gonna throw like sandwiches. Like there's there was a lot
- 8:11Speaker 4: of food talk.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's interesting.
- 8:14Speaker 4: So Charlotte is introducing Lorelei to her grandparents. Arthur says, oh,
- 8:18Speaker 4: the famous Laura I. Lorale says famous. I have to
- 8:21Speaker 4: catch up on my US weeklies. Arthur says, Charlotte told
- 8:25Speaker 4: us you were a card. Beverly says, she also told
- 8:28Speaker 4: us that you were a delightful dining companion, like Noel
- 8:31Speaker 4: Coward and Slim Keith rolled into one. Lorlai says, oh, well,
- 8:35Speaker 4: she's delightful too, like Shirley Temple and Mother Teresa and
- 8:39Speaker 4: someone with very good table manners rolled into one. Noel
- 8:43Speaker 4: Coward was a playwright, director, an actor known for his
- 8:46Speaker 4: wit and flamboyance. Slim Keith was an American socialite and
- 8:50Speaker 4: fashion icon of the fifties and sixties. Slim also is
- 8:54Speaker 4: featured as one of the Swans in the current Ryan
- 8:56Speaker 4: Murphy show Feud Capodi Versus the Ones, and Slim is
- 9:01Speaker 4: portrayed by Diane Lane in the series. Shirley Temple is
- 9:05Speaker 4: an American actress, singer, dancer, and diplomat who is the
- 9:09Speaker 4: Hollywood who was Hollywood's number one box office draw as
- 9:12Speaker 4: a child's.
- 9:13Speaker 5: Access She went on to be an ambassador to something.
- 9:16Speaker 4: Yep, and I still to this day ordered Shirley Temples.
- 9:19Speaker 4: And did you know the Shirley Temple drink was created
- 9:22Speaker 4: when she was out at a restaurant and needed something
- 9:25Speaker 4: non alcoholic to drink.
- 9:28Speaker 1: That's famous.
- 9:30Speaker 5: Oh yeah, she was whining over her parents sipping old
- 9:32Speaker 5: fashioned drinks, which also come with a signature Marashina cherry.
- 9:37Speaker 4: Oh yeah the best.
- 9:38Speaker 5: So the waiter created a version for her. Yeah and so,
- 9:42Speaker 5: and every kid loves a Marashino cherry mm hmmm, so
- 9:48Speaker 5: that's interesting. My theory on the pop culture is too
- 9:51Speaker 5: much now too little, Just like Goldilocks, I can't quite
- 9:57Speaker 5: get it right.
- 9:58Speaker 4: There's only six I know.
- 10:00Speaker 5: It's really light, but last time was so crazy.
- 10:06Speaker 4: So you think week by week they're like, all right,
- 10:07Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 10:08Speaker 5: They're trying to find their way. I think that's what
- 10:10Speaker 5: they're trying to find their way and maybe next week
- 10:12Speaker 5: will be so wonderful and s marvelous.
- 10:16Speaker 1: All right, kids, that's going to wrap it up for
- 10:18Speaker 1: this very lengthy marathon episode of pop culture. We will
