00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.520
Jerry Jerry camp full of squishy That
would be delicious. It's also delicious our

8
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.520
guest that we have on today's show. Here's the man who chose this episode

9
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.679
episode specifically because he has a really
really amazing piece of Simizons memorabilia. In

10
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.479
fact, he has probably, I
say it's the best Simpson's collection ever.

11
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.240
He called it the worst. It's
mister Michael waving. How you're doing good?

12
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.359
Sir? Oh, I'm good?
Thanks a lot for having me.

13
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.319
Yeah, so you chose Hurricane Neddie
to art to review on the show here

14
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.200
today, tell us why why I
specifically did you choose this episode? What

15
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.079
do you have in your possession that
all our Simptons fans are gonna be very

16
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.640
jealous of. Well. Apart from
being just an absolute banger of an episode

17
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.840
in its own right, the centerpiece
of my collection is I've actually got two

18
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:33.760
animation cells from the Flanders mental breakdown
scene as well as a like a storyboard

19
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.959
page from that as well. It's
like you can see all the little pencil

20
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:42.079
eraser marks and stage directions and stuff, and those are both signed by David

21
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.760
Silverman. So one of the directors, which yeah, David Silman is just

22
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.439
like one of He's like he's one
of the bosses of the Simptons man like,

23
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:49.680
he's like he's been there from the
beginning. I think he like didn't

24
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.560
he like draw like the opening intro? Yeah, something to do with the

25
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.079
opening intro. Basically, he's been
there from the beginning of the Favorites.

26
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.959
He's the biggest of whigs. Yeah, yeah, the og of ogs.

27
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.120
So how did you how did you
come into possession with that? Was that

28
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.359
just like at an auction? Did
you bite off another fan? How did

29
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:12.840
that happen? Um? There was
a there was a gallery in Armadale here

30
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.080
called silver k They do a lot
about used to see the adulely late at

31
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.719
night in that old guy that runs
the place. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

32
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.719
Colin, he was great. Yeah, he's the one who helps me

33
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.639
with it. Oh yeah, he
seems like the nicest guy. Yeah,

34
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.800
he really knows his stuff. And
they often do like comic book stuff,

35
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.199
Disney art, like classic Looney Tunes, all sorts of animation, and they've

36
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.639
had a few Simpsons exhibitions there.
So I went along to one once and

37
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.879
yeah, I picked up a couple
of bits. Then what did it cost

38
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.599
you? If you don't want us
ask him? The cell on its own

39
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:50.479
was eight hundred, and the selling
storyboard was I think fourteen hundred. So

40
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.120
okay, so you dropped wow,
we Well, one of them was actually

41
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.919
a gift. I bought the gift. Yeah, I bought the cell store

42
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:06.919
board combo myself and my partner at
the time actually brought me the cell separately.

43
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.280
So I'm assuming she then file for
bankruptcy. And that's where no one

44
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.120
gonna get I mean, I was
just gonna say that, because you've got

45
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.159
a lovely lady in your life right
now, the amount of Simpsons stuff that

46
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.039
you got in your place, you're
very lucky that she puts up with it.

47
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.039
Obviously she's a Simpsons fan. As
well. But I mean, I've

48
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.719
got my lovely wife Nicoli here,
and guy's got his lovely Louise. I

49
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.400
am starting to do a bit of
a clean out because obviously got two small

50
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.039
kids running around as well. But
I'd love to have what you have in

51
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:37.080
your house, but I just don't
think my wife would allow it. It's

52
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:42.039
tough. Cool. Thankfully the collection
was here first, so I think that's

53
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.439
part of it. But no,
it helps that she's a massive fan herself.

54
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.520
Okay, cool? Or did she
become one after meeting you? Like?

55
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.800
Was she a fan and then she
had becomes a hat to become a

56
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.400
super fan after meeting you just seeped
in the minute you walk in the house.

57
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.879
It's like I got no choice.
No, there was definitely. Yeah.

58
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.879
She gets all the quotes, she
quotes back. She's better than me

59
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.560
at remembering some of this stuff,
which is which is great. This is

60
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.520
the difference. Nicola. Tonight,
we'll get we're getting dinner ready and she's

61
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.879
like, which one are you doing
tonight? I said Hurricane Nettie, where

62
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.159
Flanner's house falls down during the hurricane, and she's like, yeah, I

63
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.279
think I've seen that one. I
was like, well, man, my

64
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.959
wife's barely sending into Simpton's episodes,
but gotta love it. I don't even

65
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.560
tell Lou it's like you're doing the
sentsence tonight. Yeah, but yes,

66
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.600
your your Simpsons collection is one of
the most famous collections in the world.

67
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.800
Now it's been all over the news, but we will get into that in

68
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:31.839
a little bit more detail later on
in the episode. But here today to

69
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.519
talk about, as you said,
Hurricane Nettie, what do you love so

70
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.199
much about this episode? Michael?
I know you've got the selling things like

71
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.519
that, so you've got that sort
of connection with it. But what particularly

72
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.240
do you love about this episode?
Because I think it gives a really great

73
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.439
insight into Flanders that we never saw
beforehand, except maybe in home alas Sland

74
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.639
is where he sort of let's slip
that he can let loose at times.

75
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:55.480
Yeah, that's a good point,
I think. Yeah, it's definitely a

76
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.319
bit like what was this seven seasons
in, so they're finally starting to do

77
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.399
a bit more in depth character explorations
on these people who have been kind of

78
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:08.240
a one one note joke for the
entire series so far. So getting like

79
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:14.800
an understanding of why he's just so
relentlessly nice kind is kind of fun and

80
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.519
something that, yeah, the show
can start to do after a while,

81
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.920
because we're up to season seventeen right
now doing the show, and sometimes they

82
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.279
explore characters and you think, ah, coming Book guys a good example.

83
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.240
They explored his character a lot,
and it's like, I'd prefer just be

84
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.639
a one note. But I think
the way they handled it, the way

85
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.000
Bill and Josh handled this one,
because they were the show runners at the

86
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.839
time, the way they handled this
one was just a perfection. Really yeah.

87
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:41.560
And I mean even besides that,
like just individual gags. It it's

88
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.079
so dense with individual jokes that are
just gold and even yeah, I don't

89
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.759
know, like I have a bit
of a story nerd myself, and so

90
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.560
I love how specifically it follows that, like the three act structure and they've

91
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.600
got Okay, so the first act
hurricane act jam, all of the hurricane

92
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.399
jokes in that you can get.
Second one, Flanders has a crisis of

93
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.360
faith, which is an interesting exploration
in itself. Third and then that scene

94
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:11.839
where he's like going through the house
that they've built and just like the shoddy

95
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.759
worksmanship, that's just that's an all
Teimer and then that whole second act an

96
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:20.279
all timer. Yeah, and then
yeah, the third actor, You've got

97
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:25.439
the whole the backstory why he's like
that. It's just yeah, which and

98
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.000
they're all funny for all different reasons. But yeah, I just think like

99
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.560
that that rant from Flanders in particular
is just like peak Flanders. But I

100
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.879
was going to say to you,
guy, I was watching this thinking there

101
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.680
was more funny moments in that little
ninety second rant from Flanders then what I

102
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.959
reckon has been in like the entire
season seventeen so far, every line was

103
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.839
just hitting its mark. It was
so good. Oh you're not wrong.

104
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:53.720
Yeah, I mean it's it's like
since Ned was was flandering, like Flandering,

105
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.240
Let's try that again, shall we. It's like Flanders was channeling Don

106
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.360
Rickles or one. You know,
It's like it was like the best insult

107
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.120
comic in the world and just you
know, just a sharp shoot of just

108
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:10.720
nailing target after target after target,
hitting the most vulnerable spots just perfectly.

109
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.279
Yeah. I mean I am an
absolute sucker for a good Worm turns moment.

110
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.480
And I mean one doesn't like to
see anything bad happen to Ned.

111
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.480
I mean, he's so pure.
I think we're all a bit Homer every

112
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.240
once in a while, ago like, oh my god, this guy is

113
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.639
so pious and annoying, but he's
so pure of heart that I'm like,

114
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.720
oh man, it kind of sucks
when things go south for him, and

115
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:39.000
yeah, but for him to for
the devil to make him do it essentially

116
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.000
in this scene, it's just so
wonderful. I think it was perfect choice

117
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.879
too, where they selected Marge to
be the first person for him to attack.

118
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:46.199
It's like, with all the people
in Springfield, who's the one who

119
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:50.720
probably deserves at the least, it's
Marge. He goes for the jokular straight

120
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.120
away. It's just like, oh, shit's getting real. But what I

121
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.959
really loved after that is that,
you know, Bart sort of step standing

122
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.839
up like oh you know, oh
well, yeah that's cool. We know,

123
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.240
we really respect that. But for
him just turn around and say used

124
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.759
to you know, here's a catchphrase, Hey man, got a quarter?

125
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:18.000
Oh yeah, that's right, I
have shocked and all that's that Bart's reaction.

126
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.000
There's one of those lines that I
say all the time but always forget

127
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.000
that it's even a Simpsons quote,
Like it's so applicable. Yeah, this

128
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.879
is one of the great things about
going back and doing episodes. From the

129
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.879
quote unquote golden years, I mean, I think it's been a long it's

130
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.360
certainly been a long time since I
watched Hurricane Nettie. But later in the

131
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.279
later in the episode, in the
third act, where they're at Calmwood,

132
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.879
Calmwood, Yeah, yeah, yeah, and doctor Foster is welcoming the Simpsons

133
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.399
in and telling the rest of the
family to go and have a brows around

134
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.559
the fields or whatever. That whole
line about one of my pasions accountable trying

135
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.120
to guess which one I think would
be pleasantly surprised. I'm like, oh,

136
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.360
that sort of lived in my head, for goodness, Downes a long

137
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.080
but I've forgotten exactly where it from, where it was from, and the

138
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.840
exact context of it. But that
whole I think it'll be pleasantly surprised.

139
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.120
Just the doors. I was so
so happy to see that here. I

140
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.159
always hate me God have Messiano say
my favorite. But enough about his quote

141
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.480
in the episode. Let's get into
a sort of our favorite moment. So

142
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.080
for me in particular, I just
love the Homer's reaction to the house falling

143
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:28.720
down to the shoot, like shit, and there's that there's that shot of

144
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.799
Flounder's about to sort of like Rand. He's sort of like fixing his glasses

145
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.919
and Home was just in the background
scratching his head like how did that happen?

146
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.639
It was just beautifully done. But
what about you guy? Um?

147
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.639
Like I said, I like,
I love a good worm turns of.

148
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:45.679
That whole scene when Ned was fantastic. Yeah, that's yeah. Seeing young

149
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.519
Ned and what a little HELLI and
he was was fantastic. I mean,

150
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.240
just that movie of like, I'm
crazy. Take that prune vase now I'm

151
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:58.519
prune tracing. That'd be fair.
I never actually picked up until kind of

152
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.600
recently, where that implying that he's
going to go next? Do you know

153
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.840
what I mean? Yeah, as
a kid, you have no idea what's

154
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.840
going on? Yeah? I never
understood that. I mean it was funny

155
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.759
just visually because of what was happening. I never got it till I was

156
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.679
older. Yeah. Yeah. And
the whole freaky beat next thing after that

157
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:22.720
is nothing idea. That's the other
The other thing I love about it is

158
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.360
have you guys heard of Dankmus?
He does, like yeah, yeah,

159
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.399
and so he's got all out of
Ideas is one of his remixes, which

160
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.600
is an absolute banger, as all
of them are dank, the some I

161
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.919
want to say he stole my bed
for ages when when I was young girl,

162
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.240
I always wanted to um take that
line of Lisa's saying we got beats

163
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.200
and put a beat behind it.
And then when I found Dan was gone,

164
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.480
I can't. I can't be angry. This so good. It is

165
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.840
catchier than it has any rights one. Going back and reviewing this episode because

166
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.000
it'd been a while since I've revisited
this one, there was actually several lines

167
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.840
that I just completely missed as a
kid growing up in particularly in that scene

168
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.720
where he's going crazy and that his
parents are there where he's like coveral of

169
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.919
those books, some of them haven't
been discredited yet. I've never heard that

170
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.559
line. I just never picked up
on it. It was so good.

171
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.440
But some of my favorite moments also
were the well cause if you need anything,

172
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.840
just leading plan it's in the rubble. Any more brain busters? All

173
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.000
right now, Michael, we have
to have a little segment here on our

174
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.240
four finger discount where it's called the
blockbuster Brainbuster, And what we do is

175
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.799
we go back to when this episode
originally aired that that week, and we

176
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.759
try and guess the top three films
at the US box office for that week.

177
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.480
Right now, the original edit of
this episode was December twenty ninth of

178
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.120
nineteen ninety six, so this episode
originally aired the very end of ninety six.

179
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.399
What do you think were the top
three films at the US bucks office?

180
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.639
I'll give you us some clues.
I'll say the clues. Michael,

181
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.759
you can have a quick think,
and then Guy I can try and Charming

182
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.159
as well, because Guy is the
movie Guy. So first one is Angel.

183
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.919
He's an easy clue for number two, show me the clue, all

184
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.320
right, that was number two.
Number three is black and white. And

185
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.360
there's four and five or so four
and five at that time where Beavis and

186
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.039
butt head to America and scream so
good four and five. But to the

187
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.240
top three, number one, Angel
is the clue, Two is show me

188
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.399
the clue, and three is black
and white. What do you reckon those

189
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.480
films might be? Michael Man,
all right, yeah, that's a tough

190
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.320
one movie a bad an Angel,
a movie about someone showing somebody something,

191
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.200
and a movie that had something that
was black and white in it, something

192
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.919
that was black and white. All
right, so the first one, I

193
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.919
mean, what even movies about angels
are there. I'm probably going this is

194
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:50.200
too deep a cut. But that
Michael one with yeah, would be about

195
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:58.120
to say the next clue is irving. I remember that was that John Travolta

196
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.519
and it was good? Was that
a good movie? Guy? I can't

197
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.720
remember? Was a bad movie?
Bad? It was the first movie I

198
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.360
saw it with my ex wife when
we when we first started seeing each other.

199
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.559
Maybe this had the bad memories of
it then because of that. No,

200
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.960
didn't start out I didn't start out
of my wife. But it reminds

201
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.720
you of times that have once been
Anyway, Yes, Michael's number one,

202
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.399
number two. Obviously you're gonna guess
this one, right, show me the

203
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.559
clue. That's gotta be Jerry McGuire. It is. Jerry McGuire was number

204
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.720
two. So John Devolza tipped him
out with the Angel movie number three.

205
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.559
A film that has a lot of
black and white things in it? Would

206
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.399
it have more than a hundred?
Has just a little bit more than a

207
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.480
hundred of all right? All right, I was gonna like Shindler's List,

208
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.279
that'd be one hundred one Elmaians.
Yeah, the live action one. Was

209
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.919
it clean? Close? Wasn't it
as Cruella? Yeah that sounds right.

210
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.919
Yeah, I remember being marketed heavily
like when I was a kid, like

211
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.159
all of the McDonald's happy Meals and
things like that. Yeah, it was

212
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.879
a big deal. But yeah,
so Michael Jerry McGuire one hundred mind Damasians

213
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.919
were the top three films, and
then Babs and Buddy'd do America and Scream

214
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.399
coming in for four and five.
So a good five films, solid solid

215
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.279
outing that week. Nineties a better
time certainly. Indeed, I completely forgot

216
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:11.159
that Michael was even a movie Like
that's just got no cultural impact in this

217
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.039
day at all. Scream is five, and that still feels real, Like,

218
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.240
yeah, did they reboot Scream or
Scream five sort of like a reboot

219
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.320
legacy sequel? I think yeah,
where it's got some of the old characters

220
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.200
but mainly new ones. Got quite
a reboot. Next question, you're there

221
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.279
eating the beast. Okay, I've
got a couple of trivia questions for you,

222
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.519
gentlemen. My first question, mister
Davis, is who does Reverend love

223
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.399
Joy offer a book of too Flanders. He's got a book of him in

224
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.759
his office. I think of Garth
Uncle, Well, hang on, it's

225
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:52.720
art Linger. Oh yeah. Oh. I was like, I'm drawing to

226
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:56.639
draw a connection there. It was
like, oh, okay, all right,

227
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.879
what's your first question? Guy?
My first question to you is when

228
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.519
to the Hall of Records blow away? Well? Do you know this?

229
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.000
Michael? Oh? Was it nineteen
seventy four? Eight? I think it

230
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.600
was. Wasn't it a little later? Nineteen seventy eight? Homer and Marge

231
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.720
in the class of nineteen seventy four. Oh, maybe That's where I'm getting

232
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.159
it from. So though, in
the class of seventy four, shouldn't that

233
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.679
mean they would have known they'd already
been a hurricane and Springfield and known White

234
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.919
mysteriously disappeared. Well, they would
have been the early twenties in and just

235
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.519
you know, only having eyes for
each other. Okay, then wouldn't have

236
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.120
trust Homer's memory on anything anyway?
Really, yes, it's probably drunk.

237
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.919
My other question is what room number
was Flanders in? He was in room

238
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:37.960
one O seven one O seven correct? Was I thought it was going to

239
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.240
be one of those ones that's like
it's the production of a code. Yeah,

240
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.320
they always slipped those in. There
was like four four seven, so

241
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.320
one oh seven kinder yeah, seven
in there. It kind of works.

242
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.039
Yeah, yeah, all right,
And you guys asked this one more question,

243
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.000
we'll move on. Who sponsored the
medical movie? Oh one, this

244
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.879
one? Do you know, Michael, Oh, hang on, it's Swanson

245
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:07.559
something. No, I don't remember
at all. Swanson's Angry Man's Dinners,

246
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.480
which was a takeoff. Apparently there
was a thing about Swanson's Hungry Man's Dinners.

247
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.919
Hungry Man Dinners like TV dinners.
Yeah, slightly bigger. You know,

248
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.879
when you go to the frozen food
section, they've got like meals for

249
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:22.320
a man. It's like maybe twenty
percent bigger pub size. It's like,

250
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:30.600
okay, really shit pub Yes.

260
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.920
this podcast. The original air day
of Hurricane Nettie was to SCE between ninth,

261
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.640
nineteen ninety six. As we just
said earlier, written by Steve Young

262
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.519
and directed by Bob Anderson, it
guests our John Lovets, says Jay Sherman

263
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.680
in the Combard Mental Hospital, and
yeah, we do love John Lovets.

264
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.799
You'll soon find that out, Michael, we do love John loves In the

265
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.039
show, and the cotch gaggle was
the couch is replaced with a coin slot.

266
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.680
In the words vendor couch appear on
the wall. At the Homer inserts

267
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.200
a coin, nothing happens. He
hits on the wall and it comes down

268
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.039
and hits him on the head.
So the episode kicks off with Homer just

269
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.599
relaxing on a hammock. And I'm
going to be honest, I've actually never

270
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:41.559
had to sleep in a hammock before. If you guys have had a sleep

271
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.559
in a hammock. Oh yeah,
I never have at my old house.

272
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.920
I used to have one, okay, and a on a not necessarily summer

273
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:55.319
day, but on a spring day. That's better there, right? Nice?

274
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.079
What about really nice? Yeah,
we used to have one in the

275
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.960
backyard of when my brother and I
lived together. I spent many in the

276
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.440
evening out there, and yeah,
good. I don't think I've ever fallen

277
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:11.799
asleep though, hm hm, pressure
dropping, humidity rising over eight percent,

278
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:26.279
increasing wind. Here we are chapter
two, so your pressure is dropping drop.

279
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.519
I think I arrigated coming. Oh, Lisa, there's no record of

280
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.400
a hurricane ever hitting Springfield. Yes, but the records only go back to

281
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:44.880
nineteen seventy eight when the Hall of
Records was mysteriously blown away. What is

282
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:52.319
your point, earth quake, Hippi
hurricane? How the animals are always the

283
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.559
first to know. I always feel
so sad. I always think of the

284
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.559
animals when there's a disaster or natural
disaster or some kind. The first thing

285
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:00.359
I think of his animals. I
don't know about you guys, but I'm

286
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.240
like, oh, there's poor dogs
and cats Like I don't understand. It's

287
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.160
every man for himself in no situations, but man, it's just so sad.

288
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.240
Well, yeah, I mean it
was a big visual gag in Twister.

289
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:11.680
You know when the cow sort of
flying through the eye. Yeah,

290
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:17.279
poor cows. You're like the guy
at the when Home is doing a stand

291
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:22.559
up the poor cow. Then we
get the Brockman news report, which I

292
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.200
think was amazing. I'm Supplices didn't
make your favorite moments. If you think

293
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.920
the sexist naming after a woman you've
never seen the girls at a clearance.

294
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:37.359
But he shouldn't say it, Harry, Harry shere is always an MVP in

295
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:42.759
my eyes, but honestly he has
just kicking goal after goal in this episode.

296
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.799
I mean, I wanted to go
through this in some of my favorite

297
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.519
bits, but I mean some of
his some of the lines from like I'm

298
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.599
skipping ahead, I'm sorry when the
left or rim has been been losing,

299
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.599
try to look it in the mat, try to go back brilliant. The

300
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.359
whole Reverend Loved Joe thing is like
short answer yes, but with an long

301
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.759
answer yes, with a no with
the butt, no with the but it's

302
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.720
like, that's great. I'd love
that writing and I love that delivery.

303
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.359
And of course everything he does with
ned is of course, yeah, this

304
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.440
This was really a showcase for Harry
Share. It wasn't it this episode?

305
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.240
It really was. If he didn't
get I would hope he would be nominated

306
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.400
for Emmy's or any other award.
You certainly hope no Peace Prize. But

307
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.400
they're just that that it's true,
but he shouldn't say it. It's just

308
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.119
like the best way to respond.
There's something that everyone knows is true,

309
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.599
but she's just like that hasn't Yeah, I'm surprised that hasn't become a meme,

310
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.599
Like it hasn't. Kind you see
it comment threads sometimes, you know.

311
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.559
Yeah, there's the Falcon and winter
Soldier thing with I was like,

312
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.440
he's out of line, but he's
right. It's like, well, that's

313
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.000
exactly the same thing us March.
So they're got to pick up some supplies

314
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.720
at the quickie mark. He's taking
his seventy people at a time, and

315
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.799
I immediately thought of people rushing to
get tilet paper during the pandemic. Yeah,

316
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:57.279
it's funny how this episode takes on
a whole new meeting because we've never

317
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.680
lived through a disasse, like a
hurricane of things like that, thankfully,

318
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.160
but the pandemic. You watch this
now and just like, oh shit,

319
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:04.599
this is what it was like.
You know when we used to have to

320
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:10.000
line up, do you go into
the supermarket? Yeah, only letting two

321
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:11.559
people into the time or something like
that. It was crazy like and the

322
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.839
fact that like it just doesn't even
get talked about it anymore. It was

323
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.640
just what we literally lost two years
of our life. It was just it

324
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.480
was amazing. It was great,
feel like a weird fever dream of a

325
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.559
thing. Yeah, but it must
be like I don't go back into our

326
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.799
podcast after I finished editing and putting
them out there. But people often say

327
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:32.119
that it's interesting just listening to us
do the podcast during the pandemic. They're

328
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:33.960
like, so many people say that
you just gave us a little of that

329
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.720
little beam of entertainment to threat the
pandemic, where you know, you guys

330
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.119
were just chugging along. It just
made me realize that I just need to

331
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.799
just chug along as well. But
Kirki tries to be a big man and

332
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.319
say, let's just beat him up. No, no, no, do

333
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:53.119
not listen to this man. Remain
calm. You'll all have a chance to

334
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:57.279
be gouched. That's another line that
I missed as a kid. And everyone

335
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:02.160
enters obviously goes crazy. Coach just
gets left beaten and disheveled and then just

336
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.279
shops just taking advantage. So catch
Ow is now Hurricane Chowken. He's still

337
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.359
in the squishy as you were mentioning
earlier, mister Davis. And they find

338
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.640
creamed eels and corn noog and waded
beef, and I'd probably try what a

339
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.880
beef of those three things. I
don't think I'd go anywhere near creamed eels

340
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:21.640
if I had to eat cornogor would, But what are beef is certainly where

341
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:26.799
I'm going for. Yes, indeed, eels are revolting. I've eaten them

342
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:29.799
exactly. Once went to a Japanese
restaurant and it's like I'm going to be

343
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.720
adventurous and try eel, And then
I was adventurous and try to eel and

344
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.839
regretted it to this day. Or
maybe if they were creamed, Yeah,

345
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.240
were they creamed eals or they just
eel? I don't know how they prepared

346
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:47.200
them. I honestly they just went
down this was it was a Japanese restaurant

347
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.480
sort of on the water. It
was down in Rippleside Park. Yeah,

348
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.160
they went down to the water and
just plugged the eels out and put them

349
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.759
in pla. I don't think they
cooked them at all. If you didn't

350
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.680
know it was eel, though,
do you think it would have changed your

351
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.359
person option of what you were tasting? No, I was eager. I

352
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:08.839
was like, oh, eel fantastic. I'm adding this to my culinary vocabulary,

353
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:14.759
you know, because I mean I've
tried various animals eating them that is,

354
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.440
and yeah, and often been.
I think it would be pleasantly surprised.

355
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.599
But I mean, you know,
I tried buffalo and goat and all

356
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.799
that kind of things, like buffalo
will I mean, how do you buy

357
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:27.079
buffalo? We obviously in another country? This was yeah, this was years

358
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.279
ago, okay, um, and
was like you can have buffalo, but

359
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.519
where though where? I've forgotten it? Actually, I think it was even

360
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:40.359
in Melbourne, but it was like
decades ago. I think my favorite weird

361
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:45.519
animal I've eaten was crocodile. You
just feel really smug eating something that could

362
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:49.640
actually eat me first time. I
mean technically a dog probably eat it.

363
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:53.119
If it one or two, you'd
have to really imply itself. Way do

364
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.839
you eat his dog regularly? What
I've eating dog? But people do eat

365
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:03.039
dogs on yourself. What do you
think of crocodile because I've tried it as

366
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.839
well and I found it extremely bland. Yeah, it's a bit. It's

367
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.279
like salty chicken. Really, I
wasn't a fan. It was more just

368
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.079
being able to say I've eaten it, really, but I love salt and

369
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.160
I love chicken. Was it like
salty salt or chicken salt though, because

370
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.720
guys on the fan of chicken salt, I'm big on chicken salt. Oh,

371
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.119
yeah it was. I wouldn't say
it was chicken salty. It's chicken

372
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.359
and salt together, isn't it not
making a combination of chicken salt? WHOA?

373
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:33.519
Well, apparently there's no actual chicken
in chicken. It's just Australians like

374
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:38.960
to eat the most that chicken.
Let's called chicken salt. The last pineapple

375
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.000
and plenty right too. But I'm
not fruit on my head. That's what

376
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.839
the pumpkins said. Hi, Lisa, we're going to be in a pie,

377
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:53.640
Sir. For your own safety,
we do advise you to evacuate.

378
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:57.960
I ain't cleaving. I was born
in the snurching home and up die in

379
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:02.200
the snurching home. Oh is there
any chance if you're changing your mind,

380
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.000
sure, let's go. The Simpsons
are now preparing. Homer is hammering a

381
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:11.440
door to the window and Ned invites
them in here. He's like, he

382
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.400
politely says, I'll be a third
wheel. Oh no, I would make

383
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.200
it my business to be a third
wheel. Okay, the Flanders. You

384
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.359
think he's going to be safe and
sound, he's all got his ship together.

385
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:23.079
He walks off, so they do
the standard Grandpa drill. They all

386
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:27.200
head into the basement, and then
hurricane. I always love it when they

387
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.839
do a takeoff of the intro.
They do it in with the Thompsons And

388
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.720
what was the one we did recently? Guy with the fat Bart? Um,

389
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:38.279
what I'm going to say? What
did I say? Though? Damn

390
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.039
it's three weeks later? Three weeks
later? Yeah yeah, yeah that's right.

391
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.640
Yeah, but it's the opening intro. But Bart's really fat. I

392
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:47.880
really liked that episode. I thought
it was really really good. I like

393
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.839
that one. Um. But yeah, so the hurricane started, we get

394
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.119
the classic Simpsons gag. This is
like like a Swatz Wilder gag with the

395
00:25:53.200 --> 00:26:00.279
prisoner hitting the electric wires. I
think my favorite gag in that and it's

396
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:04.079
probably the next one is that where
like blows into the harmonicas store like.

397
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.240
But before that, though, marcays, we should distract ourselves or something.

398
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.720
Let's try this Rubik's cube. And
I've never understood how to solve a Rubis

399
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:17.839
cube. I just don't get it. I was about to say, I've

400
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.039
never solved one in my life.
I've got frustrated with several of them,

401
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:22.400
just left them half done. I
just can't do it. But there's a

402
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.319
video online. Obviously there's plenty of
videos of people doing this, but it

403
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.759
was a child, like on a
plane or something. They hand him this

404
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.839
Rubik's cube. He just goes and
he just does it, and then they

405
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.880
sort of mix it all up and
they handed to him. He sort of

406
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:36.759
assesses it, he turns it around, he looks at it, and then

407
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.680
like three seconds it's it's done.
It's like, I don't know how he

408
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:44.240
does it. It's incredible. Oh
man, I was a teenager and song

409
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.319
in the middle of the original Rubik's
Cube craze. Yeah. Yeah, And

410
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.960
they came up with all these other
variations on, like the Rubic Snake,

411
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:55.440
but there was also like the Rubic
pyramid, okay, and I saw that

412
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.880
and I thought, oh my god, that's the shit Christmas and I've got

413
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.880
one. And that was the one
variation on ruby that I was ever able

414
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.839
to, not even able to well, I solved it, but I was

415
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.200
also I became one of those winkers, like, look at this cool pattern

416
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.279
that I make when I turned this, this, and this, and everyone's

417
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.480
looking at him. Good. This
has been one of the defining traits of

418
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:25.960
mygsins. I love variations on things, like you know, anytime there's Carlton

419
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.240
Nita Brewery are bringing out a new
beer and like, I'm trying that,

420
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:33.920
but you are meg on treats like
desserts or potato chips. It's vetie mate

421
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.599
flavor, it's meatpie phoebes, like
yeah, please, then you try to

422
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:42.319
like there is cheese and onion,
yeah, but they put a bit of

423
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.400
chicken sold on. I just like
the way that, like when you were

424
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.599
younger, you're still clever enough to
think of an out for the reason you

425
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:49.880
couldn't solve it, Like I can't
solve it, but look at the patterns.

426
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:52.880
Well, no, I did solve
it, but then I was so

427
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.119
good at it. I was able
to make patterns as well. But why

428
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:02.039
haven't got a Ruby's up? Wa
get this? Can pyramid idiots with you?

429
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:07.119
There is of course a Simpson's Rubik's
Cube here somewhere shaped like Homer's head,

430
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.240
so it's like a three model of
his head. I yeah, I've

431
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.920
been too afraid to mix it up
because I don't think I'll ever get back

432
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.559
in the right spot. You know
what. I pride myself on knowing that

433
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:21.480
I've got some stuff that you don't
have. Ah, it tears me up

434
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:29.319
inside, not for long. Is
that thing I said your ages to go?

435
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:32.519
The handheld game? Oh? Yeah, that was that? The cupcake

436
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:34.559
one? No, it's a cupcake. It's just like you know the little

437
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:38.000
handheld games used to have, like
Laddin and Buying Key and things like that.

438
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:41.960
I don't think it's cupcakes in it, but it's just that there was

439
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.720
one that's game and watch things.
Yeah, can hang on once. I'll

440
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.119
get it down and top of your
hang on might be that? Is it

441
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.440
like a Bartzilla one or something?
Put the headphones back on one moment.

442
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.519
It's this thing here. So you
guys are at home can't see this obviously

443
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.240
unless you're watching this somehow. But
do you see that? Wow? Yeah,

444
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:02.880
we can turn it on and everything. I'm not sure which yeah,

445
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.359
but yeah, it's I finished the
game in about three seconds. It's made

446
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:12.480
by I have no idea, but
yeah, and it's Tigers Tiger Electronics.

447
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.359
One Tiger Electronics, that's what they're
called. Oh yeah, yeah, there

448
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:22.160
was a few early nineties. That
one looks probably late nineties because the game

449
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:30.160
can you how can you tell by
looking at something? Because I know,

450
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.200
what, when do they stop doing
the like the pink and green? Yeah,

451
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.559
so I think that was probably ninety
one or two, and then they

452
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:42.319
switched to just green, like a
green base for a lot of stuff,

453
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:47.599
um for a few years, and
then they went like a route about two

454
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.200
thousands or must be earlier because that
thing there they went to like a red

455
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:55.920
and yellow, red, yellow blue
scheme. Yeah, it was red and

456
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:57.519
blue a little bit later because when
I were doing those little figurines at coals

457
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.000
and stuff, I feel like the
boxes were like Lewin red and yellow.

458
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.240
Yeah, that's right. That was
was that two thousand and seven or eight?

459
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:07.480
So that late was it? Well? Okay, yeah, I was

460
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:08.720
working at the times. It must
have been about two thousand and six at

461
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:11.640
least. Yeah, yeah, all
right, maybe what's that early? Yeah,

462
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.039
I can't remember, but who knows? But um, what a time

463
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.440
to be a life. Anyway,
where are we up to? What we

464
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:25.880
finished? Guy's Ruby's Cube story?
Everyone please finish the ruby It's done,

465
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:29.839
It's done. Um but yeah,
so anyways, shit's going down the Rubi's

466
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:30.599
Cube, Marge, you know,
she cracks it again, she throws it

467
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.680
away, and this is where what
happens after I'll be this week at your

468
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:40.039
your favorite moment the Harmonica store.
Yes, and then Homer goes out,

469
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:42.279
you know it's look at you really
calm it is, and sees the bottle

470
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:45.880
of rama flying in the background,
realizes that, um, that it's still

471
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:48.079
happening. They almost just stuck to
I remember as the kid this moment here

472
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.640
going oh shit, I thought was
a guy but no, he gets in

473
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.359
margin does her prey and I'll recommend
you to all my friends. And then

474
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:03.799
when it gets better, he fell
for it and there's no damage at all.

475
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:07.640
Now obviously it's just because of the
way they've done that shot from But

476
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.319
when I was a kid, I
always thought that the house, their roof

477
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.960
had come down like a few feet, because it's actually covering half the windows.

478
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.240
But what it is. It's just
the overhang covering the top of the

479
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:19.440
top half of the windows. But
when I get always thought their house had

480
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:26.240
like shrunk. But then we cut
to Flanders and it's all gone deadly on.

481
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.799
So we come back from commercial and
Maud she comes out from the rubble.

482
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.519
She thought she was on her way
to the eternal, eternal bliss of

483
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.920
paradise or whatever, and pour rods
in a tree. He's got a headache.

484
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:38.319
I said that quite a lot.
When I say at a headache,

485
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:41.640
I say it just like like rod
there, And Flanders says, you know,

486
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.000
I'm just grateful that we're all still
alive. I'm gonna gets your stuff

487
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:49.039
back, And then they talk about
how Ned doesn't have insurance. I love

488
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:56.559
the reasoning the former death. I
guess another one as a kid that I

489
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.400
didn't really understand that now as an
adult you really like, ah, do

490
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:05.079
I need that? I probably should, Yeah, But then the tombstones are

491
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.519
still there. Well calls if you
need anything. And when out the church

492
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.400
and did you see the sign at
the front. Oh, God welcomes his

493
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:15.160
victim, God welcomes his systems.
And we get the I'm stupid shirt and

494
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.200
what I liked about this moment here
is normally Flanders would be bothered by this,

495
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.200
but he's so beaten down and tired
it doesn't even have the strength to

496
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:23.720
sort of say no, don't say
that, don't be so silly kind of

497
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:28.799
thing with the I'm so stupid shirts. The other great thing is that I

498
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:32.880
think it's Todd who's wearing the butthole
so they can't show, but has got

499
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:39.160
to be. But it's for low'd
what's better? The answer is not much,

500
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:47.480
But there's nothing. There's nothing worse
than seeing your dad or the main

501
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:53.759
authority figure in life just beaten.
Yeah, like crying, I'm okay with

502
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.000
you, being angry with you,
be angry with least you know, but

503
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:00.960
the life's just sort of kicked the
shit out, saying way to go,

504
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:05.839
oh no no, Because when you're
a child, usually like one of your

505
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:07.680
parents is like the strongest person in
your life in most cases, so when

506
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:12.160
you see them giving up, it's
just like shit, well they can't handle

507
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:15.400
what's going on. The handle was
going on, so he more sort of

508
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.279
brings up the sorry, brings up
the left toorrium and emmy unfortunate at the

509
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.240
news report, I mean fortunately for
us because it's so funny. But unfortunately

510
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.200
for Ned, there's a right going
on down here at Springfield Mall. A

511
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:30.640
storm add old crowd appears to have
turned its rage on the left torrium.

512
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:36.119
Surprisingly, people are grabbing things with
both hands, suggesting it's not just South

513
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.880
Paws and its rampaging mob. Oh
my god, try looking at the back.

514
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:44.680
Meantime, Springfield bars will be happy
to hear that the Bowl Arama is

515
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:46.920
back in business and it's new location. Teetering over the Carter Dickson Tunnel.

516
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:58.119
Graver and love Joy, what's all
it's happened us today? Yeah? I

517
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:04.359
kind of feel like job well or
aren't you being a tad melodramatic? Ned?

518
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.840
Also, I believe job was right
handed. But Reverend, I need

519
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:14.760
to know is God punishing me?
Who short answer yes with an f long

520
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:19.840
answer no with a butt if you
need additional solos. By the way,

521
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.119
I've got a copy of something or
other bi oric link lutter in my office.

522
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.159
We're still at that point here where
love Joy, I don't don't.

523
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.199
I don't think he's that much older
than Flanders, which we learned in like

524
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:35.280
the um to Listen Lady episode,
But like he he still speaks to love

525
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.320
Joy like he's an authoritarian, like
reverend like like he still talks to him

526
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.760
like he's a leader, his boss, if that makes any sense. You

527
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:44.960
know, he still sees me as
like a higher figure than than he.

528
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:47.360
He's the middle manager between the big
man. That's true. Yeah, Yeah,

529
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:52.079
he's just looking for some comfort though
in Reverend love Joy. And he's

530
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:54.559
even reverend, he's not very unhelpful. You know, you're being over dramatic.

531
00:34:54.760 --> 00:35:00.119
Look, his house is gone.
Yeah, this is it's the clasic

532
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:05.000
you had one job. Yeah,
it's like provide a bit of you know,

533
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:07.840
souls flock there, reverend. And
I guess this is is this before

534
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:13.199
the Mister Sparkle episode. That's the
Listening Lady, the episode I was talking

535
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.960
about. Yeah, yeah, so
that's where he's sort of you learn why

536
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:20.000
he's so given up non scaring.
But yeah, but is that I can't

537
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.519
remember if that was before after this
one. I'm pretty sure that was after

538
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:25.079
this one other. Look shall we
so that what was the episode called It's

539
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:30.519
um marge in Marjorie Trust in Marjorie
Trust that's it. I knew it was

540
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:32.840
in there somewhere. Yeah, And
that was the twenty second episode of the

541
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:36.639
eighth season, So that was after
this earlier in the ad season. Yeah,

542
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:37.800
but it is. You know,
you are right though, I think

543
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.920
it was important that we eventually did
learn why Reverend just doesn't seem to give

544
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:45.719
a shit about wanting to help his
flock as God put them. But but

545
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.719
another aspect of this episode that we
didn't really touch on yet was I just

546
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.400
love how Flanders this is looking for
an answer from God, like why me?

547
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:55.480
Like what did I do? Like
I've done everything you wanted me to

548
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:59.679
do and it still wasn't good enough, Like what what have I possibly done

549
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:02.199
wrong? And I thought that they
could have taken this episode in a direction

550
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:06.639
of him not losing his faith,
but really questioning his faith. But I

551
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:08.159
thought they might have made the episode
a little bit too dark, maybe a

552
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:10.119
little bit too controversial as well.
I don't know what do you think?

553
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:16.400
Yeah, it does seem like it
could almost be its own episode, and

554
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:22.320
then like the mental breakdown stuff could
almost be a separate one. Yeah,

555
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:25.400
could they try to take tackle that
in the episode where Moore dies the last

556
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:28.400
moment or so, it's just like, yeah, I'm going to church,

557
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.239
and then they quickly just wrap that
up. Yeah, but that's an episode

558
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:34.920
that needs it needs more depth to
it than what they did in that episode.

559
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.239
For sure. I love the direction
there as well, just the pull

560
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:38.480
away. Yeah, they pull up
a hund of a percent. I'm not

561
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:43.159
a religious person, but like that
moment still gets here. Oh you're still

562
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:46.280
you're still like really feel for him, man. Yeah, that's the difference

563
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:50.840
between as I was saying, Season
seventeen Simpsons and this one is like every

564
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:54.199
characters feel so raw and real.
Where there, you don't get this kind

565
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:59.400
of passion and meaning in the characters
anymore. And they pull off a really

566
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:06.280
neat, honesting act of taking what
these characters take seriously seriously while also poking

567
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:07.559
fun out. It's hard to it's
hard to do that, but they actually

568
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:09.920
do it really well here. I
mean, I don't think you ever doubt

569
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:13.840
Ned's faith, even while Ned is
doubting his faith, if you know what

570
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.079
I mean. Yeah, while they
also sort of poke a little bit of

571
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:21.559
fun at it, mainly through home
or poking fun at Ned. But yeah,

572
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:24.679
I think it's such a such really
clever writing and really clever storytelling.

573
00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:28.280
So the very next day, Marge, she says, you've gotta come check

574
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.400
out this what's happened. It's it's
a miracle what the rubble burned down?

575
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:34.880
And it turns out they've rebuilt the
house. And I'm like, you guys

576
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:43.079
built the house very quickly overnight.
That's for shadowing what I liked about those.

577
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:46.159
It brings up the best of Springfield. You know. It's just there

578
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:49.719
are a town that you know,
they have their odds of each other,

579
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.760
but at the core, they're one
big family. And that's what I liked

580
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:59.679
about this moment here. But it
also reveals that there is full of lazy,

581
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.719
inadequate people. Yeah, there's a
good, good balance there, but

582
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:05.000
they love a good bandwagon and jumping
on it, you know, like the

583
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:09.800
radio. But it's an old fashioned
hold again. So then they had all

584
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:14.079
their different tools, a smet mixer
full of hope and some cement, and

585
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:16.239
you know, if you need a
favor for the happiest man in Springfield,

586
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:22.480
this guy never shows up again.
I was does feel like that could have

587
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.599
been a recurring character. I guess
he's only a one note joke, but

588
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:28.719
so are a lot of them.
But I think it probably would have gotten

589
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:31.679
old after a while, But it
definitely could have had a few more appearances.

590
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:36.159
I think this guy was great.
He's got one and done. I

591
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.079
think just one and done as perfect
land As then walks into the door.

592
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:40.800
The door doesn't open up properly.
There's a loose nail. He one out

593
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:46.039
of twenty five eight toilet in the
kitchen because Wigan was too late to take

594
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:50.880
it up the stairs, a low
bearing post of crusty in the kid's rooms.

595
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:53.679
Then we got a room full of
electricity, but there's too much litricity,

596
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.559
so we might want to wear a
hat. And then classic Moe,

597
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:05.320
we ran out of floorboats. We
painted the dot pretty claim and then the

598
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.719
whole streaks much like really want from
the chocolate factory. But Barney still somehow

599
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:10.960
in the master bedroom, Oh my
nose. He slams the door and Homer

600
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.840
leans on the door. You know
the house that love built or whatever,

601
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:16.440
and it all just love falls down. What do you think of the house

602
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:21.719
that love built and it all just
falls down? Shoot, It's like it's

603
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:23.400
almost like you kind of expected it. He's like, oh shit, And

604
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:28.320
planned is a little moment there were
he's trying to clean his glasses and they're

605
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.400
cracking. It's like that's what makes
him crack? Yeah, it's like,

606
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:32.840
oh that sound is him cracking as
well. I was like, he's had

607
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:37.320
enough, so he absolutely lose it. And you can't do this rant justice.

608
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.280
It's just every single line is an
absolute banger. It's so good,

609
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:45.199
Mad, we like well and everyone
here tried their best. Well, my

610
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:49.760
family and I can't lave in good
intentions. Marge. Oh, your family

611
00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:53.800
has had a control, but we
can't blame you because you have good intentions.

612
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:59.800
Hey, back off, Okay,
dude, I wouldn't want you to

613
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:02.559
have cow man. Here's the catch
freeze. You better learn for your adult

614
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:08.639
years. Hey, buddy, got
a quarter. I am shocked and appalled,

615
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:14.280
mister Flanders with all due respect,
but I didn't do anything. Do

616
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.159
I hear the sound a butting in? It's gotta be a little Lisa Simpson

617
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:21.599
Springfield's answered. Do I question?
Now? I've asked? What do we

618
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.239
have here? The long flammy arm
in the law? The last case you

619
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:29.440
got to the bottom of. What
was that case? I'm malamars malamars ah,

620
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:32.960
that's going in the act. Oh
yeah, the clown the only one

621
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:36.599
of you with phones who doesn't make
me laugh, And it's for you.

622
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.599
I don't know you, but I'm
sure you're a jerk. Hey, I've

623
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:43.320
only been here a few minutes.
What's going on? You ugly? Hate

624
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:45.920
Field man? Hey, Hey,
I may be ugly in hate Field,

625
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:53.840
but i'm What was the third thing
you said, Harmer, you are the

626
00:40:53.960 --> 00:41:00.400
worst human being I have ever met? He I got a pretty easy oh

627
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:04.800
man, you could just imagine.
It's almost fourth wall breaking in a way

628
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:08.599
where he's like pointing out all the
flaws of these characters, obviously and just

629
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:14.719
that. Yeah, that must have
had so much fun in the writer's room

630
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.360
coming up with what you can make
fun of all of these regular characters.

631
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:22.000
My favorite one wasn't even like the
punchline. It was just his disdain of

632
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:30.320
the clown. Yeah, the clown. I think my favorite is gonna be

633
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:37.679
good intended the hands going, I
don't know, mos is pretty good.

634
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:42.760
Yeah, may be ugly and hate
Field. But what was that third thing

635
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:45.039
he said? I won't have been
here Field minutes. What's going on then?

636
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:51.360
But that's that's the one that I've
got in the in the cell.

637
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:57.000
So the cell, first one of
the cells is it's like Flanners doing this

638
00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:00.360
with Lisa in the background. Is
she interrupting. That is he's like,

639
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:06.719
yeah, and the other cell is
like Flanders storming past Mo after that,

640
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:15.639
and the storyboard is from the crusty
scene over to where he turns around to

641
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:17.159
Lenny and he's like, and ask
for you. I don't know you,

642
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.480
but I'm sure you're a jef.
I just had to get that on the

643
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:28.679
storyboard, Homers, And then I
love the directing and just the animation.

644
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:32.320
When Flanders approaches Homer, he just
has that sense of nervousness like, oh

645
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:36.960
shit, what have I got coming? And just the worst human being I've

646
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.599
ever met? What God? I
feasy? I was okay, I got

647
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:44.159
that, And he leaves and checks
himself into Calmwood Mental Hospital. And what

648
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:49.800
was the song he was singing there? It sounds like the Yeah, it's

649
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:58.159
like that tropical yea yeah. But
they come out from commercial now and he's

650
00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:00.559
committed himself. He wants to go
and kicking the kicking and screaming please.

651
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:07.280
Is anyone ever curious about what a
padded cell feels like? It? Is

652
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:08.239
it the floor as well? And
I just guess it would have to be,

653
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:12.599
would I think it must be?
It's I get the feeling, it's

654
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:16.320
been like a bouncy castles. Bouncy
castle, yeah, just not as bouncy

655
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:20.880
though a lot firmer I think,
yeah, yeah, but imagine, just

656
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.280
imagine it was bouncy. I want
I'd check myself in all the time.

657
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:30.599
I think. I've been to like
tours of old asylums and they're just they're

658
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:34.719
depressingly just concrete. It's real,
real shame. I don't know if the

659
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:38.519
padded thing was ever real or just
a cartoon invention, but the dream the

660
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.360
nursing comes along as you see Flan
has written the paper with his feet and

661
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:45.519
she calls doctor Foster and no one. I was a kid, I used

662
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:46.519
to always, for some reason,
used to think he was saying, may

663
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:50.639
God have mercy on a song?
Because the way he says kind of mercy

664
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:52.679
on us all it sounds like if
you listen to it, it's like me,

665
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:54.639
God a mercy on a song.
I'm like, what the hell does

666
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:57.239
that mean? For us? So
long when I was the kid, I

667
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.159
was like, I don't get this. What's going on? The shoes are

668
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:05.079
in the den and then he goes
to see Ned and he obviously another strait

669
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:07.840
jacket to give him warm and Flann
as he thinks, you know, oh,

670
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:09.079
I was a good little boy.
He's completely just you know, hidden

671
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:12.559
all the memories. He's put it
pushed into the back of his mind that

672
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:15.360
he was actually a little shit head. So he just convenently has the footage.

673
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:17.559
They're ready to go. I brought
to you by Swanson's Angry Man's Dinners.

674
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:25.920
And yeah, that's seeing the prune
Tracy. It's so awesome, Queene,

675
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:30.960
that prune face, no pun face. Take that, Tracy. No,

676
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:35.400
I'm prune Tracy. Take that.
Stop it it, stop it.

677
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.599
I can't believe I was such a
terror. Well, neither could your parents.

678
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:46.320
That's why they brought you to me. Well, I'm afraid young Ned

679
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:51.119
is unusually aggressive, but I can't
seem to find a cause for it.

680
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:53.760
Hey, hey, get down from
that bookshelf. Please, most of those

681
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:58.239
books haven't been discredited yet. Would
you please tell your son to stop?

682
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.760
We get and do it me.
And that's discipline. That's like telling Jene

683
00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:10.159
group but not to go boom boom
boom boom boom boom. Lack of discipline.

684
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:15.079
I'm beginning to see the problem.
We don't believe in rules, like

685
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:20.360
we gave them up when we started
living like freaky beatnoks. You don't believe

686
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.159
in rules yet you want to control
Ned's anger. Yeah, you've got to

687
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:27.960
help us, Doc. We've tried
nothing, and we're all out of ideas.

688
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:30.920
I've tried nothing in them, all
out of ideas. Is a shot

689
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:36.159
that can mean that gets use all
the time. Absolutely, but yea yeah,

690
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:38.480
I mean just the slight variation of
the Harry puts on the Flanders voice

691
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:44.400
to do that, to do that, yeah, when we were freaky beat

692
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:51.599
um. But then they try the
spankological protocol which goes to eight months.

693
00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:55.360
Just I love the various changes in
the seasons. Santa Claus volleyball, just

694
00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:01.239
avoid the window. But then it
works two and now he's he represses,

695
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:06.320
he can't be angry at all,
repressed. Everything he strings nonsensical jabbering.

696
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:08.960
And then which also explains the way
why he talks the way he does these

697
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:14.079
slanderisms, and you know he's there
any particular person that can make you this

698
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:16.440
angry. Cut to Homer on the
phone, Landers, I don't know any

699
00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:22.840
need Flanders stop. Oh yeah him, they arrive and just the putting the

700
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:28.000
same stickers on that is just classic
simself. But it's a callback to when

701
00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:32.440
Homer gets Um released from the mental
hospital in isn't it the Stamp? So

702
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:36.519
he gets a stamp on his hand, his hand, yes, yes,

703
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:38.159
right, yeah, Well that episode
doesn't exist anymore, so I don't know

704
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:43.360
what we're talking about. Um and
one patience a cannibal. As we're touching

705
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.239
on earlier. Now, there's three
people that we know in these cells.

706
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:53.960
Do you know any of them?
Guys? Well, because it's but also

707
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:58.840
the long haired chap is John Schwartz
was indeed, yeah, and the first

708
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.639
woman was Mike. Well that you
say. That was miss Bots. The

709
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:06.199
Babysitter Bandit, which was supposed to
be the very first episode of the Simpsons,

710
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:08.519
but the animation was so terrible they
pushed it back to the season finale.

711
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:12.920
Miss Bots, Yeah, the Babysitter
Bandit. But yeah, they need

712
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.320
to find someone so irritating that he
can't suppress his rage. He says to

713
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:19.920
can you be that man? Bubble
gum on the face, just get into

714
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.360
booth and home. It starts running
at all the cards. I just don't

715
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.360
want to get to the last one. I engage an intercourse with your spousal

716
00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:30.960
significant other. Now that's psychiatry.
That whole scene again is another like line

717
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:38.840
for line corker. Oh just so
good, thanks for dropping back maximum hostility

718
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:45.159
factor. I engaged an intercourse with
your suppose or a significant other. No,

719
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:52.559
that's psychiatry. H h oh,
very funny, wise guy, Oh

720
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:55.440
that's you just can't in solve this
guy. You call him a moro,

721
00:47:55.559 --> 00:48:00.159
run and he just sits there gritting
mora. Hi, neighbor, you know

722
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:02.440
what your problem is, Flanders.
You're afraid to be human? No,

723
00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:07.039
no, why would I be afraid
of that? Because humans are obnoxious.

724
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:12.199
Sometimes humans hate things, well,
maybe a few of them do. Back

725
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:15.239
East, I can't find what home
is saying. Did you write that?

726
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:19.159
Um? Did you like it?
Come on on, Flanders, there's gonna

727
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.840
be something you hate. What about
mosquito bites? Mmmmm sure are fun to

728
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:30.559
scratch? M satisfying. What about
your fluorescent lights? O? They hum

729
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:36.079
like angels. You're never lonely if
you got a fluorescent light, see you

730
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:40.199
like everything? No, that's not
true. I don't like the service at

731
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:44.840
the post office. You know,
it's all rush, rush, get you

732
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:47.119
in, get you out. Then
they've got those machines in the lobby.

733
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:52.559
They're even faster no help there.
You might even say I hate the post

734
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:59.559
office that and my parents. Has
he beatnings? Well, I'm is trying

735
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:02.840
to just up with stuff that literally
everybody hates, Like, yeah, I'm

736
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:13.400
not a bad misscater, but hm, sound as back give up. This

737
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:16.360
guy can't. But yeah, he
has a breakthrough, he's cured. Everyone's

738
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:21.159
ready to greet him as they leave. And there's three signs here besides the

739
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:24.360
welcome back. One says we love
Flanders, one says flandy as dandy,

740
00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:29.760
and then there's a free John schwatz
Bolder, the very last one there,

741
00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:31.639
which when you're watching his back on
TV back in the day, you would

742
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:34.639
never have seen it. It's right
at the last second. You have to

743
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:37.559
really freeze frame it. But yeah, it's there. I noticed it's also

744
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:38.800
on the on the wiki page as
well. I thought I was being very

745
00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:42.920
clever trying to find that one that
realizes on the wiki page. But then

746
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:45.679
he says, you know, if
you if you annoy me, a gonna

747
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:46.800
really hear about it, and if
you tip me off, I'll run you

748
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:50.960
down with my car, And then
we get the Flanders You're so crazy at

749
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:52.840
the end of the episode. So
yeah, it's a it's amazing. We've

750
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:57.079
had some Flanders episodes up to this
point, but this just seems like the

751
00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:00.559
Flanders episode. But everyone thinks of
White episodes were about Flanders, this is

752
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:04.639
the one you go to, I
think, Yeah, even more so than

753
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:07.960
like the one where they go camping. That one seems like a pretty obviously

754
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:12.440
Flander's heavy episode. Yeah, this
one's got a lot more yeah, character

755
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:14.960
depth to it. Yeah, Well, we don't learn why he is the

756
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.079
way he Isn't that one, you
know, he just homer pisces him off

757
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.440
to the point where like even the
nicest guy in Springfield has to sort of

758
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:22.840
vent. But we don't learn why
he is the way he is. And

759
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.639
that's what this episode. This episode
is the real exploration of the head Flanders

760
00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:30.119
character, and they just did it
so well. Yeah, I think some

761
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:34.719
of it ends up being undercut a
bit by like later episodes, like you

762
00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.679
know, the Vegas episode where they
reveal that he's sixty and then all of

763
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:40.360
a sudden, Yeah, I don't
know if you really call it cannon or

764
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:45.679
if it's all it's all kind of
flexible, but yeah, if he's sixty,

765
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.320
then how old is doctor Foster or
a true. You know, it's

766
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.079
kind of messes with it a bit, but I would say more than a

767
00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:59.239
bit. Yeah, absolutely, that's
warping space. And yeah, something that

768
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:02.880
was croius about just that that closing
line neared you so crazy. I'm wondering

769
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:07.639
if it's a catchphrase belonging to w
anybody. Martin Lawrence had a stand up

770
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:12.840
specially in nineteen ninety four called you
so Crazy, and I wonder if that

771
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:17.280
was kind of his catchphrase on the
eponymous sitcom Martin Um, you know,

772
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:21.639
also name checked on the show Plenty
of Dames, because you know it was

773
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:23.639
Martin was feeling kind of race.
I've never heard of that sit on before.

774
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:27.880
Yeah, I didn't know he had
one. Maybe I did not know.

775
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:31.320
Think remember the show called the Hugelys
Yeah, d l H. Yeah,

776
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:34.760
like that show is just completely guying. Ever, like that was like

777
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:37.159
like late nineties, there was like
all these sitcoms that just like we're pretty

778
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:40.239
big at the time, but they've
just gone. If it's vanished. Damer

779
00:51:40.320 --> 00:51:45.679
and Gregg's another one like Dammer and
Gregg's is gone. Two guys ago at

780
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:49.800
a pizza place, Remember that one
Ryan Reynolds that was gone. I feel

781
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:55.719
bad for the other guy like Ryan
Reynolds, most rich and famous person in

782
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:01.000
the world, and this guy won't
say he's living in a cardboard box.

783
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:05.480
But still I think it was on
one of those sort of like seasie type

784
00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:07.920
shows. For a while. I
would hope, I should hope, So

785
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:10.840
I hope. And what was the
girl's name in the show, But she

786
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:14.880
went on to become a Sharon Sharon, she went on to play she was

787
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:15.599
in Monk. I think it was
was a Monk, I think so,

788
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:19.079
yeah, yeah, yeah, so
she went on to do something as well.

789
00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:21.800
But yeah, somebody late ninety sitcom. But the hugely is just I'm

790
00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:23.320
just like, that was a show
I haven't thought of like fifteen years.

791
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:25.519
That just came to my head.
And he said, Martin, and yes,

792
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:30.199
it was another one. Yeah.
They're always on Fox Day in between

793
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:34.960
like Simpsons and King of the Hill, and they went for like eight seasons.

794
00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:38.000
Yeah. Now there's something. There's
one called Rules of Engagement. Yeah,

795
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:42.320
I know the one David Spade might
have Spade, wasn't it, Yeah,

796
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:46.280
and had Putty from from Sinfowder.
Yeah, yeah, I remember it

797
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:51.000
existed, but I couldn't. I
think I might have watched about eight minutes

798
00:52:51.119 --> 00:52:53.679
total. But like you watched the
commercials now like Channel ten commercial from ninety

799
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:57.760
yet you're like, ah, simpler
time. I never watched the show,

800
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:02.000
but we did do a show just
on like sitcoms that just have vanished.

801
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:04.760
I'm going to be a fun thing
to do. But yes, that has

802
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:07.559
been our discussion here of hurricane.
Now do you think you've slept in that

803
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:09.599
one, Michael, to discuss But
now we are here to discuss you,

804
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:14.199
sir. So you are on TikTok. TikTok's a big one, right,

805
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:16.840
that's where most of your views come
from. TikTok. Yeah, that's the

806
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:21.000
one that I feel like I'm too
old for that, so I kind of

807
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:23.719
I was a bit anxious about trying
it out. But it's the one that's

808
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:29.719
really blown up. Yeah, Simmons, one word, it's you're using the

809
00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:31.920
terms blown up. Michael. I
don't think you're too old for TikTok.

810
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:38.280
I've learned it, picked it up
from your kids. So on there,

811
00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:44.519
it's like fifty six thousand. Facebook's
like dead in the water. I know

812
00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:49.039
you guys have a pretty like face
in people are still using Facebook. So

813
00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:51.360
we're nearly on ten hundred thousand followers
now, but we're going, okay,

814
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:54.519
everyone, I want to leave.
You know what it is too, It's

815
00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:58.679
saying like Twitter as well. It's
like people are saying I wouldn't do Facebook

816
00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:00.440
anymore. But of all the things, Facebook just seems to be the constant

817
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:04.079
that just keeps chugging along. It's
like, yeah, people say that it

818
00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:06.800
used anymore, but when we put
something out there and fucking goes off,

819
00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:10.280
So people must still be using Facebook
now. I think if you're starting from

820
00:54:10.400 --> 00:54:15.840
now, like it's TikTok and Instagram, possible to get a Facebook. Yeah,

821
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:20.199
like the ball rolling there. Instagram's
not too bad, but I've only

822
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:25.760
got Yeah. Twitter was the second
most useful one until recently when yeah,

823
00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:31.159
Elon Musk is kind of tanked the
whole platform. So your Twitter not going

824
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:35.400
any good anymore because as was going
really well and then it sort of just

825
00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:38.320
like stagnated. Yeah, it's a
bit that way. I think I've topped

826
00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:43.000
out at about four thousand followers on
there, and it grew really fast and

827
00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:46.840
then slowed down. Yeah. Um, but we need to st or TikTok

828
00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:50.880
doing it just because everyone else is
doing it. We need to get on

829
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:55.719
that bandwagon. But I think like
Twitter was really good originally for getting in

830
00:54:55.800 --> 00:55:00.920
front of the people from the show. So yeah, I ended up having

831
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:07.920
a bunch of writers like Josh Weinsteine
follows me on there, and some of

832
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:10.960
the animators locally probably follows you,
I think so. Actually, yeah,

833
00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:14.840
Villa and Josh are like the two
they see about the two ones that are

834
00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:17.639
genuine fans and still keep up the
date with the fandom. Yeah, yeah,

835
00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:22.800
that's it. And then I think
Instagram a lot of the muse as

836
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:27.079
well. I think Maggie Graining,
So Matt Greening's sister followed me on Instagram

837
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:29.599
that day. I was like,
whoa, I know that name. To

838
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:32.960
play it cool, So on your
TikTok, we'll just we'll focus on the

839
00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:37.000
TikTok. Then basically it's just you
show videos of your collection. But let's

840
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:38.679
talk about your collection. So,
I know I've read somewhere that you started

841
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:43.239
collecting in high school. That's where
it's sort of spawned from. But what

842
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:45.760
like your earliest memories of Simpson's merch, Like, what are the ones that

843
00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:46.840
you had when you were a kid
that you might have anymore? But what

844
00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:52.079
sort of is your best memories of
Simpson's collection Simpson Collectibles as a kid,

845
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:55.039
I don't remember like a lot of
the very early figures and stuff. For

846
00:55:55.159 --> 00:55:58.440
me, it was the tazos and
things like that. Yeah, I was

847
00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:00.039
going to say that was the bit. I think that might have been the

848
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:05.800
birth of the collecting bog footy cards
and tarzos. That's where it started for

849
00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:07.920
me collecting for sure. Yeah,
like just I don't know. There was

850
00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:10.760
so much fun with that. And
you get a bag of chips which Show

851
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:14.719
and he loved, and then you
have like this little prize inside and then

852
00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:17.920
it was swapping those and putting them
all in the in the album and became

853
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:21.960
like currency in the school. Yeah
I didn't they Yeah, I forgot my

854
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:22.719
lunch. I was sorry. I
got six Simpsons tarsos in my bag.

855
00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:28.880
I swap for a sandwich. And
they always had games that you could play

856
00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:32.400
with them. But yeah, I
remember trying to, like you tried to

857
00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:36.559
with like the Marbles type games.
They just never really had the slam as

858
00:56:36.599 --> 00:56:37.599
we got to slam them on the
top of the tarzos and things like.

859
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:42.039
Yeah. Yeah, I had for
members of the Space Jam ones and my

860
00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:45.920
son loved Space Jam and there was
a space The game for Spaceham was the

861
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:49.519
best tarzo game. So basically what
it was was like a fold out basketball

862
00:56:49.559 --> 00:56:52.039
court which came with a little net
and it gave you little stands with the

863
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:53.360
characters from the movie on it.
You put your tars on top, and

864
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:57.599
you've got to flick the tarzo off
and go through the basketball and then that's

865
00:56:57.599 --> 00:56:59.800
how you get your points. So
like further the further back you were,

866
00:56:59.840 --> 00:57:01.159
the more points yet for for flicking
it in. So that like that's a

867
00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:04.519
genuine game that was actually pretty fun. But the other time it was just

868
00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:07.559
like stake up some tarzos and slam
it on top and whatever one's land on

869
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:09.239
the right side up whoever does the
slam I guess to keep those ones.

870
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:12.920
And I'm like, I'm not sure
I'm reading to give away my tarsos like

871
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:16.639
this, but um but yeah,
so yeah, so tarzos for you that

872
00:57:16.719 --> 00:57:19.719
that was definitely a big thing.
But yeah, we didn't really have many

873
00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:21.960
action figures. The earliest ones for
me, I remember that the tarzos.

874
00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:24.519
I remember the KFC must have had
a deal with the Simpsons because they had

875
00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:29.679
the cups. Those cups had on
the toppers that they're a big one these

876
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:31.760
ones up there where are Yeah,
that's the ones top of the studio as

877
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:34.920
well. Yeah, I like right, that look great? Yeah, um

878
00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:38.400
yeah. And they had a lot
of um yeah, like sets, little

879
00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:40.800
figures and stuff. They had a
couple of beach themed ones. Yeah,

880
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:45.480
that was that Burger king hung Jacks
that's yeah, because Hungry Jacks up.

881
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:47.079
Hungry Jacks had some cool shit as
well. But so what was the what

882
00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:50.519
was the thing that started the collection? Then the high school one? What

883
00:57:50.599 --> 00:57:52.639
was the big one? I mean, I can't even remember. I think

884
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:58.199
it might have been by that time
the Tarzo pickers rolled around, Yeah,

885
00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:00.440
which were like the ones with the
l Crew back. I recomemberies of that

886
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:02.719
because I clecton them with my nan, who's now no longer with us,

887
00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:05.519
but like I used to go to
my NaN's after school and she's like,

888
00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:07.960
oh, I've got a few new
Simpsons things for you. I'm like,

889
00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:14.159
yeah, go on, Marlene.
I don't know whether those things kind of

890
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:16.360
things would work anymore. I don't
think they're allowed to because it's promoting eating

891
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:21.280
fast food. But surely if you
drop fucking tazas or something in some sort

892
00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:23.960
of like food like potato chips,
or something like even if it's healthy,

893
00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:25.800
people are going to be all over
that. I reckon. I reckon,

894
00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:29.280
like things like trading cards and that
I think they're going to make it come

895
00:58:29.320 --> 00:58:31.400
back eventually. Like I've got the
whole wall of trading cards here. People

896
00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:34.920
say, are the worth nothing?
I'm like, I reckon there will be

897
00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:37.719
a resurgence and trading cards. Oh
yeah, some of them are worth ridiculous

898
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:43.840
amounts. There's a few super rare
sets that I'm missing here. There was

899
00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:45.719
like especially the ones that you have
to send away for You get like a

900
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:50.440
redemption card in your packets and you
have to send that away. Those things

901
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:53.039
are worth like literally thousands of dollars
because you can't send away anymore. Yeah.

902
00:58:53.480 --> 00:58:57.920
Yeah, so you have to just
hope that. Yeah, those people

903
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:00.400
who went to that effort. If
you went to that effort, then you're

904
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:01.800
going to hang onto it. You're
not going to just throw it. Yeah.

905
00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:06.960
Yeah, Michael, is there some
kind of holy grail item that you've

906
00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:10.119
got your eyes on or heard about
and like, I've got to I've got

907
00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:15.840
to have it. There are there's
two that highly sought after, and I

908
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:20.719
think there's only a couple of them
in the world at all. So one

909
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:24.719
of them is it's called the Save
Blinky Bart. So it's a little regular

910
00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:28.639
old Mattel Bart figure. Again,
you had to send away for it,

911
00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:32.880
you had to buy. Um he
was only like, yeah, like five

912
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:37.559
centimeters tall, like a fairly small
one, like a pop final here,

913
00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:42.239
probably smaller than that even, um, kind of like the Springfield figures.

914
00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:45.639
These ones. Yeah, so the
Bart size of that, yeah, i'd

915
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:51.599
say. And yeah, they had
the whole family and like Nelson and stuff,

916
00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:55.960
originally five centimeters are five inches centimeters. That is small. That's tiny.

917
00:59:57.079 --> 01:00:00.920
Yeah, they're the ones on the
white couch. Okay, we've got

918
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:04.360
mini ones like five cinemas sitting all
sitting on a white couch. It's really

919
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:06.719
bizarre. But you continue, Yeah, those tiny ones. Yeah I do

920
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:08.519
know which ones you mean. Yeah, yeah, um no, so it's

921
01:00:08.559 --> 01:00:14.679
bigger than that one. But yeah, they you had to buy all of

922
01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:19.440
the family and then clip off the
barcodes and send those away, and you

923
01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:23.480
would get this guy. And rumor
has it there's only like three known in

924
01:00:23.599 --> 01:00:29.000
the world. Um, this Mexican
collector that I mate with, Alex Ortega,

925
01:00:29.079 --> 01:00:32.320
he's got one, yeah, I
think, yeah, yeah, that's

926
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:36.760
him. He's great, and there's
another guy in the UK who apparently has

927
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:38.719
one, and that's I don't know
where any of the others are. So

928
01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:45.239
I'm always hoping against hope that one
day you just walk into a garage sale

929
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:47.960
and find this thing sitting there for
five bucks and no one knows what it

930
01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:52.840
is. I can just get Alex
on the show and we'll tell you when

931
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:54.119
he's going to be on the show. You fly to Mexico and whilst he's

932
01:00:54.159 --> 01:01:00.440
just talking to us, you're just
going down and you've got to tell you

933
01:01:01.320 --> 01:01:07.480
I'm going to leave, Yeah,
leave a card courtesy of like the cat

934
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:13.280
burglay. But is there a community
collector sort of looking at for one another.

935
01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:15.360
It's like, you know, yeah, I came across this, I've

936
01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:17.480
already got it, or I've got
something similar. It's not what I need

937
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:22.239
or not what I want, but
I know someone So in the UK or

938
01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:28.360
someone so in Poland wants. Yeah. Well that's the great thing. I've

939
01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:30.719
Yeah, through all the social media
stuff, I've gotten into that community.

940
01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:35.599
So you've got yeah Alex in Mexico, You've got there's a couple of guys

941
01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:40.079
in the US in the UK and
you kind of just um, yeah,

942
01:01:40.119 --> 01:01:43.199
you help each other out because some
of the stuff. We've got a lot

943
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:47.280
of stuff through Zin lately, which
is Australia exclusive and amazing. They've licensed

944
01:01:47.320 --> 01:01:52.079
some cool shit lately. Yeah.
So I used to I used to work

945
01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:53.559
at pop Culture and I sort of
have to get that off the ground.

946
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:57.960
So I'm basically the reason we had
the stone cut of stones made now those

947
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:01.199
stones all right, Like that was
on me. Oh that's cool. Yeah,

948
01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:05.880
I've got the ring. I've got
the stone cutters ring, the mill

949
01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:07.679
Pool stockings, the Christmas stockings.
Do you see that. I do have

950
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:13.599
that. Yeah. Yeah, the
pig cufflinks as well, that was another

951
01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:15.239
one. Yeah, but they were
it was a headache at the time because

952
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:19.960
um, Disney didn't own them yet. I don't think there was Maybe it

953
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:22.199
was during the transition, I'm too
sure, but they were really tight on

954
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:25.320
what you could and couldn't make,
couldn't use certain characters. There was a

955
01:02:25.360 --> 01:02:30.320
certain like guideline or things you could
have the characters say on the merch well,

956
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:34.840
so basically they weren't really willing to
do things like the stone Cutter's ring

957
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:38.280
and the steins like that's off brandt. We want just the main family stuff

958
01:02:38.280 --> 01:02:40.280
and we're like, now people are
gonna like this. So it was like

959
01:02:40.400 --> 01:02:44.480
pulling teeth out, but we eventually
got those through. But I feel like

960
01:02:44.559 --> 01:02:46.760
since Disney have taken over, Disney's
like and we've bought this thing that makes

961
01:02:46.760 --> 01:02:51.000
the money. You go make some
ship and we'll we'll make some money.

962
01:02:51.079 --> 01:02:53.199
So now you see some like I
think the last like two years have been

963
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:58.760
like peak Simpsons merch for cool,
unique Simpsons items in my opinion. Yeah,

964
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:01.320
well they've like Super seven is another
company that's sacking a lot of really

965
01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:07.760
cool stuff. They had like a
series of McBain figures and it's like McBain

966
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:10.960
Mendoza and Scoe the guy who gets
like these full of bullet holes. They

967
01:03:12.039 --> 01:03:16.159
had a couple of Troy McClure one. Yeah, it's so good. And

968
01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:22.519
the Ultimates figures which they've just released, Um that's like Poucie. It's got

969
01:03:22.599 --> 01:03:25.039
robot itchy and scratchy and they're massive. They look so cool. Yeah,

970
01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:28.400
I love the I think the Kinge
and Cotis ones are coming. The Kinge

971
01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:31.880
and Codis ones are going to be
unbelievable. Yeah, Pommies in Australia is

972
01:03:32.079 --> 01:03:36.760
they take forever to get you.
Yeah, that's it, But I would

973
01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:38.280
definitely I think my head they're so
expensive to Super seven, that's the only

974
01:03:38.320 --> 01:03:40.599
thing. It's like, Oh man, they're like a hundred bucks a pop

975
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:45.920
for one toy. Yeah, that's
it's It hurts, but I can't stop

976
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:50.440
now. Do you feel like,
because it's if possible to own every bit

977
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:52.079
of Simpsons merch? But do you
think you ever will get to a point

978
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:55.400
where it's like I'm done or do
you think you're just gonna be collective for

979
01:03:55.480 --> 01:04:00.760
life? I think there might be
a point where I'm, yeah, have

980
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:05.840
to start spending money on more adult
things. Yeah, this might sound silly,

981
01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:10.880
and I'll be honest. Do you
sometimes get bored of just getting simps

982
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:14.320
of stuff? Do you feel is
at the point now where you feel like

983
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:19.239
you almost you have to do it
now as opposed to it was a period

984
01:04:19.320 --> 01:04:27.000
of that maybe ten years ago or
so when I was I didn't have the

985
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:30.800
room for it, and I like
about like uni years and stuff. I

986
01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:32.280
didn't have anywhere to display it,
and I didn't have much money to my

987
01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:36.719
name, so I was buying stuff
and then just putting it in boxes at

988
01:04:36.760 --> 01:04:39.880
my parents' house and what was like, what's the point? You know?

989
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:45.599
Yeah, and then it's it's kind
of resurged lately the passion. Well,

990
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:48.360
you've got a reason too. Now
with your social media. Have you found

991
01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:51.880
a way to monetize that yet?
Uh? Not yet. I've had.

992
01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:56.760
The closest I've gotten is people have
started sending me stuff. I'm gonna say,

993
01:04:57.000 --> 01:04:59.760
at least contacting stores saying send me
the ship so I can promote it

994
01:04:59.800 --> 01:05:02.480
for it. You should not have
you should not have paid for those Mumu

995
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:05.159
hoodies, you know what I mean? Yeah, I think Yeah. One

996
01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:09.920
of my followers actually told me about
those in advance. She's like, just

997
01:05:10.039 --> 01:05:13.000
off the record, I work at
Z. Those are coming out in a

998
01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:14.559
couple of weeks. Who want to
get on those? I was like,

999
01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:16.719
oh, okay, yeah, the
biggest people, I'm pretty sure zing they've

1000
01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:20.440
got a blanket rule though, where
they won't sponsor any like creators or things

1001
01:05:20.519 --> 01:05:24.719
like that, because they only sponsored
the Starlight Foundation, which is a good

1002
01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:27.800
cause. So I think it's just
a case of we sponsor these guys.

1003
01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:30.599
If we do one, we have
to do them all, so we raise

1004
01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:33.440
money for Starlight. You guys,
if you want to buy it, buy

1005
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:35.079
it if you don't, don't you
know what I means. I think that's

1006
01:05:35.119 --> 01:05:38.679
just their blanket rule. Yeah,
that makes sense. I look at those

1007
01:05:38.760 --> 01:05:43.000
those Mumu oversized blankets and I was
like, it looked pretty awesome. There

1008
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:48.360
was a lot money. I had
someone do a duet with that video within

1009
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:53.679
about four hours of me posting it, and it was her ordering one instantly,

1010
01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:57.360
So you should get hey zinc see
she bought it because of me.

1011
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:03.320
Michael, we're seeing a lot of
Simpsons stuff. Do you collect anything else?

1012
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:08.519
Not to this extent? Obviously,
it's going to be when he's when

1013
01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:12.239
the Simpsons fad finally done. Will
come a time when you stop collecting sims

1014
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:14.760
of stuff? What do you can
you collect next? I don't know.

1015
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:19.719
I think the other thing that like
my second passion, and it's starting to

1016
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:25.800
get a bit of that itch now
this year is Jurassic Park stuff, which

1017
01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:28.599
love as well. I've got a
four year old and I'm like, it's

1018
01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:30.760
just rekindled my love of dinosaurs.
Man Like, he's, yeah, I

1019
01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:35.519
buy all these toys for him,
quotation marks. It's just like, I

1020
01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:40.760
don't even have that excuse, but
Throme out, I'm like t Rex clearance

1021
01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:45.840
for twenty dollars, yes please.
Yeah, And because it's the thirtieth anniversary

1022
01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:51.679
of the original movie this year,
doing a huge push of merchandise and every

1023
01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:56.440
it's so tempting. B W has
the real Field t Rex, the red

1024
01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:58.400
one, and I saw it the
other day because my son really wants it

1025
01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:00.079
because he watches like YouTube videos of
people with it, and we're always the

1026
01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:04.000
last ones to get the Jurassic Park
stuff for whatever reason. And yeah,

1027
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:09.039
there's like a hundred bucks and I'm
like, I don't think so, man,

1028
01:07:09.639 --> 01:07:13.000
I know eventually this thing will because
I usually buy it first for Ali.

1029
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:14.960
I'm like, so he's got it
now, you know, he feels

1030
01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:16.239
cool, blah blah blah. But
then like a month later, tw months

1031
01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:17.480
later, they're like, hey,
do you want it for half price?

1032
01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:23.039
And I'm like, a man,
but what he ended He's had it for

1033
01:07:23.079 --> 01:07:24.719
an extra two months. He was
happy, you know what I mean.

1034
01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:26.840
But one hundred bucks for one t
Rex toy. He is just a little

1035
01:07:26.840 --> 01:07:29.280
bit too much, in my opinion. But yeah, you did so you

1036
01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:30.719
paid full price for these Super sevens
at the Simpsons, Is that right?

1037
01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:38.719
Well? I actually ordered them through
pop Culture, so they had I think,

1038
01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:41.800
yeah, there was a bundle if
you get the fire I put the

1039
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:45.880
bundle. I remember, all right, Um, so yeah, it was

1040
01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:49.320
about it was that, which I
think ended up being like maybe fifty bucks

1041
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:56.960
or eighty bucks off. There's still
yeah, especially when I ordered multiple waves

1042
01:07:57.440 --> 01:08:00.920
in one or did you really Yeah? That was nearly a nearly a grand

1043
01:08:01.119 --> 01:08:04.280
in one transaction. I did love
it is see a Facebook post of a

1044
01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:10.960
pop culture promoting and you're like,
where's my pre Odors bitches? Hey,

1045
01:08:11.159 --> 01:08:16.159
I didn't say it like that.
It had been Yeah, they were like

1046
01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:18.520
all of a sudden advertising that they
were in stock, and I'm like,

1047
01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:23.640
where am I might not hear you. How many Symptons items do you think

1048
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:28.439
you own right now? Oh?
Geez, I don't even like it would

1049
01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:30.560
be like two to three thousand.
Do you think it's in thousands or yeah?

1050
01:08:31.000 --> 01:08:34.239
I did a rough count and I
thought it might have been about three

1051
01:08:34.359 --> 01:08:38.560
thousand. Wow, So I had
someone asked me that once. Um.

1052
01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:44.840
But it's this other thing where apparently
collectors get very antsy about specific numbers,

1053
01:08:44.920 --> 01:08:46.880
like if you claim this number,
you have to really back it up because

1054
01:08:46.920 --> 01:08:54.039
it's a pretian and everyone is like, this set is one item. You

1055
01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:58.119
can't claim those four figures as as
four items. That's one set. That's

1056
01:08:58.199 --> 01:09:02.239
one item, and it shows me
alreadies are at for some people. It's

1057
01:09:02.359 --> 01:09:09.239
yeah, it's weird. So I
estimate three thousand individual items. I think

1058
01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:11.479
I feel like we can go off
forever talking about your collection. We'll have

1059
01:09:11.479 --> 01:09:14.119
to get you on again in the
near future to just talk about collection in

1060
01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:15.880
general. I reckon, but we
are running out of time now. I'm

1061
01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:20.039
getting the wind up from the lovely
wife of mine. But I was been

1062
01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:23.640
absolutely joy to have you on,
Michael. And by the way, listeners

1063
01:09:23.880 --> 01:09:27.079
may have seen me promote as getting
a bit of a mention in JB Hi

1064
01:09:27.159 --> 01:09:29.880
Fi Stack magazine and Michael was the
man behind that article. So I think

1065
01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:31.960
you Michael, that happen. That's
all right, no problem. Yeah,

1066
01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:34.520
but it's been absolute joy. As
I said, to have you on,

1067
01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:38.960
let's promote your your social media is
before we let you go. So yeah,

1068
01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:45.399
so I'm on TikTok, Twitter,
Instagram and Facebook at collect Simpsons or

1069
01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:50.399

1070
01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:53.680

Simpsons there though, because I think it's

1071
01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:59.640

get the Jeffrey Dahmer page already. Michael

1072
