Kara: Bummer. **** it?

It's less severe than "**** it". More like "darn". "****" is a bad word, "bummer" isn't.

Tech guy couldn't get anything off it but static. There was only blank screen?

Almost like a blank screen.

The other little reference in there was the line about ET.

The movie ET was about a cute little alien and one of the lines in the movie was "phone home" so there is a play on words. "Nothing to phone home about" does mean "nothing special" but it played on that catch line from the movie.

Yeah, except I don't know what the "DUI of the week" means. DUI does refer to drunk driving, but it's not clear what they meant. Perhaps another celebrity who was arrested for it?

I don't know. They never showed more about the DUI.
Anyway, thank you, Barbara!
