- 1:03Speaker 1: Downey Junor Robert Downey Jr. Is an African producer, most
- 1:06Speaker 1: known for his role as Iron Man and in the
- 1:09Speaker 1: eighties as a member of the Brat Pack. Uh did
- 1:13Speaker 1: you know? Through twenty three and main tracking passed through
- 1:16Speaker 1: Related Individuals Database. Harry Connick Jr. Robert Downey Jr. And
- 1:21Speaker 1: Barbara Walters are all first of all super crazy that
- 1:27Speaker 1: they were cousins. But this that joke is in reference.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I think that happened where Robert Downey Jr. During his
- 1:34Speaker 1: like bad time, ended up in someone's house. You know,
- 1:39Speaker 1: I have a personal story of of Robert Downey Jr.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I was actually I wrote and was directing a very tiny,
- 1:48Speaker 1: little small film up on Mount Olympus in Hollywood, and
- 1:53Speaker 1: I was staying with friends. I was in from New
- 1:55Speaker 1: York and this was I don't know, the early nineties,
- 1:58Speaker 1: and uh, in the it was called it was about
- 2:01Speaker 1: a man's obsession with his yellow Volkswagen UM. And Robert
- 2:07Speaker 1: Downey Junior walked by and he said, hey, guys, how
- 2:13Speaker 1: you don't And you know, back then he was Robert
- 2:15Speaker 1: Downey Jr. He wasn't unknown. He was a famous actor.
- 2:21Speaker 1: And he stopped by and he chatted us up a
- 2:23Speaker 1: little bit, and I finally made I made the move.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I was very bold back then. I said, listen, uh,
- 2:29Speaker 1: we don't have a lot of money between us, but
- 2:31Speaker 1: can you just sort of appear in our film? Please? No,
- 2:35Speaker 1: no way, We'd like to get some distribution. And he
- 2:39Speaker 1: said he just smiled. He was cool. He was cool
- 2:42Speaker 1: as the rule man. He said, I'd do it. My
- 2:46Speaker 1: agent would kill me. So there is a story. I'll
- 2:49Speaker 1: be fast I saw the other day of a god
- 2:54Speaker 1: a movie where they were filming and they bumped into
- 2:57Speaker 1: Dustin Hoffman and they convinced him to be in the movie.
- 3:00Speaker 1: No makeup, just whatever he's wearing. But a little bit
- 3:04Speaker 1: of information. This joke in The Gilmore Girls is in
- 3:08Speaker 1: reference to Downey had wandered into the home of his
- 3:12Speaker 1: neighbor's Bill and Lisa Curtis. They lived seventeen houses south
- 3:15Speaker 1: of Downey on broad Beach Road, a quiet too Lane street,
- 3:18Speaker 1: and I had forgotten about this. He passed out in
- 3:23Speaker 1: their house and like they called the cops on him
- 3:27Speaker 1: because they didn't and it was a snow who prior
- 3:30Speaker 1: to this episode, you know, when they filmed it, but
- 3:34Speaker 1: it was obviously like in the Zeit Guy. So because
- 3:37Speaker 1: it was such a different Robert Downey Jr. Then when
- 3:39Speaker 1: you're watching it now, you're like, Robert Downey Jr. Is
- 3:41Speaker 1: for an iron man and one of the biggest movie stars.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Like that's a major I don't know, I think he was. Yeah,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Lane is still complaining about being cold in her house. Lane,
- 4:03Speaker 1: my hip hurts. Laurel. I oh just getting old. You know.
- 4:12Speaker 1: One ever think that Sylvia Plath wasn't crazy, she was
- 4:16Speaker 1: just cold. Sylvia Plath was a poet short story writer.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Most famous words, uh are the colossuss I'm sorry. Her
- 4:27Speaker 1: most famous works are The Colossus, another Poems, Ariel, and
- 4:33Speaker 1: the Bell Jar. Sylvia Plath was clinically depressed most of
- 4:38Speaker 1: her adult life and was um treated multiple times with
- 4:42Speaker 1: shock therapy and took her own life in nineteen sixty three.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Creative research at James Coffin found a study that among
- 4:52Speaker 1: all creative writers, female poets are more likely to suffer
- 4:56Speaker 1: from depression than other writers and dubbed it this Sylvia
- 5:02Speaker 1: class effect. Well, um, that is an interesting and it's that.
- 5:10Speaker 1: It's quite interesting. Laura and Roy still complaining about the
- 5:14Speaker 1: broken window and it's cold, saying Luke will fix the window, Laurela.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I left Luca message just now, he'll do it. Rory
- 5:23Speaker 1: before after the re enactment of Alive, first of all,
- 5:28Speaker 1: so bad but yet so not bad. And I also
- 5:34Speaker 1: love that movie. I did read the book too, but
- 5:37Speaker 1: I loved that movie. Such a story, A true story,
- 5:42Speaker 1: A true story, A true story. Alive is a American
- 5:47Speaker 1: biographical survival drama based on Piers paul Reads book Alive,
- 5:54Speaker 1: Story of the Andy Survivors, which details a Uruguayan rugby
- 6:00Speaker 1: teams crash aboard Uruguayan Air Force flight five seven one
- 6:05Speaker 1: into the Andes Mountains on October two. Laurela is referring
- 6:11Speaker 1: to being cold. Uh, she's it's like her house is
- 6:16Speaker 1: in the Andes Mountain like the book in the film Alive,
- 6:20Speaker 1: where those uh rugby players had to resort to what
- 6:25Speaker 1: is known as cannibalism to survive, and it was I
- 6:29Speaker 1: think also how I discovered Ethan Hawk, and I think
- 6:32Speaker 1: Josh Lucas like the cast legit just saying that movie
- 6:40Speaker 1: was gnarly but it was so good. Well, did any
- 6:43Speaker 1: of those stars get the cannibalized? Uh? Yeah, I don't know.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Yeah they Yeah, because the rugby team the plane crashes.
- 6:52Speaker 1: It's such a gnarly scene, like how they filmed it up,
- 6:55Speaker 1: no idea. And then they some survive, some don't, and
- 6:57Speaker 1: they're lost in the Andes for like a really long
- 7:01Speaker 1: time with no thing. But yeah, they get a fire
- 7:05Speaker 1: and they have to eat each other. And I think, yes,
- 7:06Speaker 1: celebrities got eaten. Did Ethan get eaten? No? I think he.
- 7:12Speaker 1: I think he's the hero. I think he's the one
- 7:14Speaker 1: who gets them out. He eventually yeah, okay, and I
- 7:21Speaker 1: think they just don't speak of it. I don't like
- 7:33Speaker 1: I guess the Survivors or the or the or the
- 7:37Speaker 1: Eatons families didn't invite Ethan Hawk over for dinner. I
- 7:40Speaker 1: highly recommend the book and the movie if you haven't
- 7:43Speaker 1: seen it. The book. I'm not like much of a reader,
- 7:46Speaker 1: but the book is excellent. Mm hmmm, alright, So Emily
- 7:51Speaker 1: is upset Laurel I brought Rory should benefit because Emily
- 7:57Speaker 1: wanted Laureli to bring a man. Laurelied, Uh so on
- 8:01Speaker 1: a wigged out level of when the ten Mom is
- 8:04Speaker 1: at Rory. Francis Farmer. Francis Farmer was an actress. She
- 8:08Speaker 1: appeared over a dozen feature films over the course of
- 8:10Speaker 1: her career, though she garnered notoriety for sensationalized accounts of
- 8:15Speaker 1: her life. I had never heard of her. Funny. Nobody
- 8:19Speaker 1: does that. That's really weird, especially her involuntary commitment to
- 8:24Speaker 1: psychiatric hospitals and subsequent mental health struggles. She spent nine
- 8:29Speaker 1: months in a sanitary Another reference in this episode to
- 8:34Speaker 1: another quote end quote crazy woman. All right, uh speech
- 8:43Speaker 1: at the benefits, speaker makes a joke. Nobody gets it.
- 8:47Speaker 1: That was funny too, because I was like, uh huh, speaker,
- 8:51Speaker 1: the importance cannot be overstanded. Languages, humanities lifeline. That's why
- 8:55Speaker 1: I thank each and every one of you. That's why
- 8:58Speaker 1: I thank each and every one of you for your
- 9:00Speaker 1: loyal support of the e from word is Rare manuscript
- 9:04Speaker 1: acquisition foundation, because without it, we would just be stuck
- 9:09Speaker 1: rooting around Gamati. Yeah, that was where the thing the title,
- 9:15Speaker 1: that's right. So Nagamati is an Egyptian town and the
- 9:20Speaker 1: home of the Nagamati Library, which contains a collection of
- 9:23Speaker 1: early Christian and Gnostic text discovered in nineteen and nod
- 9:31Speaker 1: Codices h Our thirteen leather bound volumes dated to mid
- 9:37Speaker 1: fourth century that contained an unprecedented collection of more than
- 9:42Speaker 1: fifty texts, including some that have been composed as early
- 9:47Speaker 1: as the second century. Wow, and that is seems to
- 9:54Speaker 1: be it for our very brief pop culture episode. Though
- 9:59Speaker 1: just packed with stuff, wasn't it was? It's good good
- 10:02Speaker 1: references in the episode, really great, really great. It's quality,
