This is your pop culture for S2 E20, "Help Wanted"

I am all in that, I am all in with Scott Patterson and I heart radio podcast. Hey, everybody, welcome back Scott Patterson with the ball Club, Amy Sugarman, Daniel Romo. Riley pelusis the budding superstar on the podcast scene. It's the Riley Show, and we're going to try hard not to interrupt you because they don't like that. Really read those comments on the instant not to interrupt you, but really they don't like the interruptions. They don't like when we interrupt Riley when she's trying to get her facts out, like we gotta let her get a fact. So like, so, what is it like like four for bad, one good email wise you say they want us to shut up and leave her alone? Hasn't Riley hasn't even been able to say a word. Yeah, interrupt you, but have to read you gotta you gotta read me one. I have to read because you're gonna back me off. I got a lot to say culture. I sent it to Riley and Danielle hold on what so everyone knows we read every comment, Okay I don't. So they're kind of going back and forth like some people love I do. Some people love pop culture. Some people don't. Some people think that we're funny. Some people hate us. And then it says most patient people of the decade go to Danielle and Riley. We're dealing with Amy and Scott this long and such what grace? Such grace? They need grace to deal with this. Oh God, are we obnoxious? We're just obnoxious, aren't we? Are? We? Are we grading an obnoxious personalities? Had? We're just having a good time. Somebody also asked that you guys give me a decongestent because apparently so. I don't know who wrote that last email you just read, but they can go take a long walk off a short pier. He'd be nice to every comment. That is me being nice. Remember, I'm obnoxious and abrasive, according to them, and I think I'm proving it right now. I take it all in, I go in my bathroom and cry, and then I come back out and do it again. It makes you stronger. That which doesn't destroy you makes you stronger. Amy, let's say it all together, strong whatever, whatever doesn't Okay, we'll talk about making a big deal out of something small. We're gonna talk about Barbie's Malbou dream Cup. Loyalized drinking coffee out a small cup at the Hungry Diner. Loyal I says, how am I going to fit my three sugars into Barbie's Malabou Dream Cup? Here Malabou dream House. Barbie's dream House first debuted with Mattel in nineteen sixty two. It was the modest Fuldway cardboard house that costs eight dollars. By three, barbies Dreamhouse evolved into an elegant three story mansion, complete with a working elevator, garage in swimming pool. Did you have it? I had it, My sisters had it, and I would play in the with the Ken doll and his sports car. Am I interrupting? I'm so sorry, I just kind of goal didn't either. I played Ken Barbie's with my my sister. Yeah, she had a pretty elaborate setup. It was a lot of pink plastic, lots of pink plastic structures and things like that. Continue writing well. In two thousand nineteen, to honor the doll sixtieth anniversary, Airbnb made a life sized dream house in Malibu, available to rent for only sixty dollars per day. The Malibu mansion was decked out in pink with a private chef and even fencing lessons. After one of their Shiro dolls. H How did I miss that? M hmm, I didn't I know it was around. It looks really cool. Um Loyal is joking about Richard's new business. Loreal says, I don't know why. I don't know why we're not opening for Rickles. Don Riggles was comedian who was known for his insult comedy. Frank Sinatra helped make him a star. When he walked into Murray's nightclub where Rickles was performing. Don made an insulting joke about Frank, and he loved it. He then started bringing his friends to see Dawn. Um. One of rickles most notorious put downs was a cult called someone a Hockey Puck, but he once told an interview he was unsure how that came about, and because he and Frank were good friends, Frank played a prank on Dawn and had him arrested in the middle of one of his sets at the Sahara in Las Vegas. I just love that Rickles and Stamos, John Stamos, were like so tight, really like really tight. There's a great bit on the Johnny Carsons Show that you can YouTube is uh. Rickles as Sinatra comes on a Rickles appearance on The Johnny Carson Show and surprises Rickles and Rickles starts talking about the Mafia and Kidnam about them. I think I would like to be called an hockey buck. I think i'd laugh really hard. That's like Gordon Ramsey when he calls people like, what's all you? He says, I'm an idiot sandwich Rickles man, I tell you, he h he uh. He spared no one. I mean he spared nobody. Oh my god. This next one's a little old timey um, which we all love around here. Lane and Rory find the new music shop. Lane says Don Powell, I've never heard of her. Rory says, nobody has, which is the shame, because she wrote sixteen amazing novels, nine plays, and there was some who actually claim it was Paul who made the jokes that Dorothy Parker got credit for. So Don Poel's novelist and short story writer known for her wit and satire um because she was harsh she was for her harsh satire, she wasn't as well known. While Dorothy Parker was also a novelist and short story writer and of for her wit and satire, but she was well known, which is why the reference was made. UM. Dorothy Parker moved to Hollywood to be a screenwriter and co wrote the original A Star Is Born. UM The star A Star Was Born was remade in two thousand and eighteen with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Um For his role at Jackson, Maine, Bradley Cooper was taught to play guitar by Lucas Nelson's son of Willie Nelson, which we've talked about on the podcast, and Bradley Cooper had to undergo a full body spray tan every day and endure mental around his eyes to look bud blood shot and high. And finally, Dorothy's uncle, Martin roths Child and his wife Lizzie were aboard the Titanic in nineteen Teve. Lizzie survived but more and sadly, Oh that's amazing. Did you say aboard the Titanic? Yeah? I know, And lately in our Decaprio did and survive either went right down. There's tons of room on that board. Move over, move over. Good God lost one of the I mean he just went to his I see an icy grave Bummer. Next. Next up was Scott's one of Scott's favorite line from Taylor. Rory comes to apologizes Taylor for the bench. Taylor says, I know that there's no way that you would be involved in something like that if it weren't for so many MINEO want to be believe me, Choccy and Choccy alone will be held responsible for that incident. Chac was like, like, I get it, but like Chac, Chaci wasn't like I don't know the reference. I mean, I know, but I never watched it. Those were Happy Days spinoffs or something like that. Cho was like a little bit of a punk when he first came on, but not really. What was the seventies? Set straight? Pretty fast? Salmonio Jr. Was an actor best known for his role as John Crawford Plato Crawford in the drama film Rebel Without a Cause. Unfortunately, he's known for his brutal murder. Yeah what happened? He was stabbed to death in Hollywood, a pizza delivery man, right on right on all to Loma, right where I used to where my gym used to be in lest Hollywood. Yeah that is depressing. Yeah, I didn't know he got stuck and Chacci. The other reference was a character played by Scott Bayo in the TV series Happy Days, and Joni left Chacci. We've we've done. Of course, we've referenced this before in season one, episode fourteen. His way to have the knowledge, Thank you A little fat act kind of brings the background. His acting mentor was maryon Ross, whom he credits as his favorite mentor, best friend, and Marian is also known as the third Loralaie from Kilmore Girl. Yeah, I mean I would say I had a you know, I like Chac back then. I liked him through Charles and Charge and then I was like, I'm done with you Scotto. Yeah. Next, Babette stops Rory on the way home, but Bett says, I met this guy once, gorgeous Tan look like just look just like Nicky Harget. Okay, well, I don't want to interrupt you, because you know who Nicky's daughter is, Morisca Morisca and he actually even appeared in a episode of lon Ards for You in two thousand three as a grandfather. Mhm So Mickey is an actor and bodybuilder known for the Loves of Hercules and I. Eighteen sixty, he won the ninety five Mr. Universe, and he married actress Jane Mansfield and Dave mm hmm, and they appeared several movies together. Mickey actually worked as a plumber and carpenter before his big break. He remodeled much of his and Jean's Beverly Hills mansion they called the Pink Palace, including building its famous heart shaped pool. M Harrison Ford did before he made it. He was a carpenter as well. Maybe that's the key. Do you want me to blow your mind really fast? Yeah? Guess how many episodes of Law and Order morriska hard It's really not the easiest name. Oh my god, Scott, that did you do that? I don't know. Take me to the racetrack. I'll win your money, Okay, go on, Riley, you had like three minutes, and then the next one was Scott. Also loved for the mash reference. Richard loves his lunch order by Lora Lae. As she started a tab, Richard said, you're like the tiny fellow on the Match Program. Always Anticipating is a reference to Gary berghoff uh character Walter Radar O'Reilly, who was the reliable assisted on mash Um. Gary played Radar in four different incarnations of MASH. In nineteen seventy four, the screenwriter Larry Gilbert wrote the pilot of MASH for twenty five thoud dollars in two days, and the show used the laugh track, but creators didn't want to include it, so they phased it out. The series ran out of names, so during season six there's an episode that features four main uh four marine patients named after nineteen seventy seven Angels infield players, and throughout season seven the patients were named after the nineteen Los Angeles Dodgers. I sort of watched MASH not did you watch Masch? Oh? Yeah, obsessively. It was like a little young I mean I definitely watched, like the finale, but I wasn't so yeah. I love the movie, love the series. Yeah, yeah, it was no wonder Woman and well what is come on? No, that's no, that's night writer. Sorry guys. Oh that was a classic. Laura Lie is there to help Richard Laura lysis? No, No, I turned it off. Here. Let me show you the phone rings. Do you want to get that? No? No, they've already hung up. Phone stops ringing. Okay, next time, hold an envelope up to your head before you do that. So this is referring to Johnny Carson's tonight show bit Karnak the Magnificent, in which Carson held up an envelope to his forehead and predicted the contents um. Johnny was ten for zero as an amateur boxer during his Navy's service during World War Two, and in ninety six, Johnny single handedly helped popularize a new board game, Twister, when he played a round of the game with Eva Gaber Good more, good, bore and they don't want to say interrupt her. It's like you can know you can fix me, Like if I wait a minute. He was ten and oh as an amateur boxer. My dad was five and oh as an as a boxer in the army. Oh my gosh. You know what, Johnny was a boxer in the army. You know when my dad was a boxer, I mean in the navy. And my dad was a boxer in the army because they got special privileges, they got better food, they got more food than they could sleep in. Oh yeah, next up, Laura, Lie and Rory walk into the party lower license. Oh geez, this is worse than the clowns in the Volkswagen because they're so packed. A popular clowns site gag is for a number of clowns to be crammed into a small car and then come out, making it seem as if the car was bigger than it appears. Um. The number of clowns involved is usually around fourteen to one, but the record number of people jammed into a small car is twenty eight gymnasts into a mini. That gives me like anxiety thin being the squashiest, most squashed one. Imagine you just have the full panic attack and you're like, give me out. I wonder how many clown pillows we could I was actually in a Volkswagen once in my youth when somebody flipped out in the backseat because it was stuffed, and nobody we didn't pull over, the driver didn't pull over. There was like eight of us in a Volkswagen bug. Yeah, and we were under the influence I will say that, oh no, no dangerous influence of laughter, influence of each other's love. Um. And if you listen to the recap episode, we left a little Easter egg in there for Max Medina. So this was also referenced by Max and Medina in season one, episode eleven, Paris is burning or license. I just need space, Max says, well, I don't. In fact, I want as little space as possible. A hundred clowns crammed into a Volkswagen. That's the kind of non space I'm talking about. And Scott Cohen, who plays Max Medina, first began his career in entertainment industry. Huh, don't say he was a clown, taking a course in clown at his university. His teacher encouraged him to audition for a theater company after that, and one of Cohen's early screen roles was flirtatious driver as a nineteen Volkswagen passade, just blending together, so perfect show of hands. Who likes clowns, not even remotely. No, we have just so everyone listening knows, zero hands. I like the spirit. I like the intent of clowns. No, not even the intent to make the light in the mood and make everybody happy. Nobody's feet are that big, nobody has a red nose, or or just the sketchiness I've seen. I've seen. I've seen a clown or two in my time. Save the children's birthday parties that the little kid birthday parties. Okay, they really like clowns. I think after that whole like scare of people, like there was actually clowns going around hurting people trust clowns. Yeah, all right, Well to round out on a positive note, um, we have our last little pop culture reference here. Laura, La and Rory arrive at the party and see all the people in the room. More, Lie says coming up walks towards the drink. Oh boy, I should have brought bread crumbs. Excuse me. So this is a reference to fairy tale Handsel and Gretel. The children left a trail of bread crumbs when their father brought them to the woods so they could find their way back. So he's trying to find our way back to Rory. The fairy tale has been reimagined to a movie many times with Hansel and Gretel hands and Hansel and Gretel which Hunters two thousand thirteen and Gretel and Handsel, and then Jeremy Renner stars as Handsel in version. I love Jeremy Renner. He's a singer, he likes he likes to sing, and he's from somewhere kind of not exactly near my home. Very passionately. Not too far. Oh he's from your area. He's well, he's I think he's from like modesto Stockton type of area. While you guys keep talking, so it's not closed, but it's not far. He's the same guy. Good job today, right? Nice? Do do we? I feel pushed out? We didn't get to interrupt. We didn't interject. We didn't do it. We were very good. We did, we did, but we did better you think so we did. We did a little bit. Do you congested? Didn't work? So? Very sleepy? All right, everybody. So that's going to wrap up pop culture for this episode. And this episode is what was the episode Help Wanted Season two, episode twenty. We are almost done season two. God, wow, it's flying by. It's flying by. And I think we we were good. We were good podcasters. And we didn't interrupt Riley at the rate that we normally do because we got a very constructive, very appreciated email from a concerned audience member. And uh, I will say this to you, sir or madam, we will continue to not interrupt Riley pelusis when she is in her element, which she was born to do.
