All right, miss Reno, let's go over the player right. We'll drop
you on the northwest corner of the backyard. You hop into the back of
the house and find the Quintuplets. When you see them, you say,
hello, girls, ain't the easter bunny good? And then have them near?
Is your eggs filled with tear gas? Are you ready ready? God?
Blue God Blue kick Ah? Welcome to Going Down Us South Park,
the podcast where we always have our sales the time, and this week we're
here to review the final episode that has two thousands in the title. It
is Quintuplets two down, and I am going I'm gonna miss that sweet Sweetnesstalgia
for the year two thousand. I know, right, but then they've made
the right choice. The gags it's played out, Yeah yeah, right,
but still like going back to the early part of the twenty first century,
so for the promise, and then I don't know shit happened. This was
I think the first episode that I can recall because we've been with you and
obviously remember said one where it felt like because up on doing research, it
was basing it off something that was happening in real time. Almost yes,
yeah, yeah, so extremely topical. It was based on now, how
to pronounce the name. It's the Gonzales case. But Eli on Gonzalez.
Yes, so you be knowized I threw a little hot sauce on my but
you did let you do it, so you lived through it. So you
explained what was this case all about? Well, yeah, look, I
mean this was a very big deal in America. I mean, and so
so much so that it sort of became worldwide. You'll forgive me. This
was twenty years ago, and I just did a little bit of what we
call half us in net research. I've got half hours Wikipedia research as Okay,
well that's great because that's pretty much what I did as well. But
I think the situation was that Gonzales was a young boy. I think he
was probably about five five. It's not about five at this stage, yeah,
or maybe he's been older. He might be right. I thought I
had five year old, but he was born in ninety three, so yeah,
so it must have been seven. You're right. Yeah, who was
found floating off the cost of coast of Florida. I understand he was a
Cuban national, Cuban child, and he was found by the coast Guard.
Eventually It was because his mother had tried to flee with her boyfriend with a
group of others and they had an accident and the boat crashed. They all
passed away, or well she passed away at least anyway, and then they
found this child. Yes, he was placed with relatives who are living in
Florida, but back in Cuba his father and I think, yeah, starting
basically give us the boy. Yes, and she was the attorney general at
the time. General. Yes, she got involved. Guys with guns got
involved, dressed up in his easter money. Everyone's like, why taking a
bit of poetic license, that's fuck uh. Yeah, But I think the
main image if anyone recalls the story, the main image that they recall is
a thority figure with an automatic rifle and a little boy in a cupboard crying.
His uncle was holding him. Yeah, that's correct, and basically saying
give us the kid back, and he's like it looks like he's just terrified.
The boys absolutely when the pullets are in two thousand and one, yeah,
yeah, And I mean and Parker and Stone actually replayed that image more
than a few times throughout the throughout the episode. But yeah, that's the
essentially what this was based on, but they took it and ran with it
and gave it a bit of South Park spin and look, I've got to
say, sorry, that's that's a history lesson for today folks. Yeah,
Wikipedia is your friend. There's more should to be learning in this episode.
They were with the quintuplets as well. Absolutely well you can tell it's all
about that. But I've got to say, just talking about the episode,
south Folk, I think up until now and maybe moving forward has done generally
done a pretty good job of balancing we've got something we want to say,
or here's an issue that's in the news that we want to explore, and
jokes. Normally that the jokes lead. This felt like an example where they
let the message lead rather than the jokes. I didn't dislike this episode by
any stretch though. It was pretty well made, pretty funny. I had
a lot of good bits in. It had your typical Parker and Stone combination
of talking about what's happening at the moment and just terrible, terrible bad taste.
You go in dow and give him Eastree ex through a tick. But
yeah, it really felt like we want to talk about the ely On girl
Gonzales case. We also want to talk about people who will protest anything at
the drop of the hat. Yeah, ridiculous, we find I thought it
was quite funny. That is quite frankly timeless. It was timeless prior to
this, and we to stuff about five thirty and unfortunately, not much has
changed in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty four. People are still protesting
and intersectionally protesting. It's like has the rotating boards? Oh, what did
you say? I was talking about trivia questions say that, Yes, we'll
say that, but I don't think I might know it. But the thing
is, though they had to change the episode. Did you read that?
So originally the ending was going to be they were just going to exchange Kenny
for the quintuplets, and then four days before the episode went to air,
he got taken out of his home. The whole photo was taken the news,
so they had to completely revamp the episode. So in the last four
days before it went to air, that make the whole raid sequence. So
I love that Parker and sign timing when they're just like, right, yep,
I don't scrab it, let's redo this. I can imagine this would
have got a lot of press this episode because no other show at the time
could have made a TV's episode. Would that kind of turnaround four days later,
so it would have been a real hot topic. Can you recall when
it first aired this episode? Probably not well when it came to airing in
Australia. We probably weren't paying much attention. No, no, no,
Plus it would have been delayed. We didn't have you kids out there.
You know how good you got it? Like watching things in real time when
America's watching it. That wasn't a thing. Absolutely not. You sort of
hear about it. I wonder when we're going to get that not no early
streaming a movie would come out, the movies, you'd be there for three
months, and you have to wait a further six months before we got the
video shows, and then the further six months before it was on a home
video. It was a terrible, harrowing time to be alive. I had
a dream the other day. It was so bizarre. It's just come back
to me. It was so vivid now in my mind of going to the
old video easy stories to go around, and everything was the same. There
used to be this back door, which is obviously like the staff door.
Right in my dream, I thought you meant no, so it was like
stuff only maybe it was a top films I know. But in my dream
like opened up and I saw like in the room, and I'm like,
when I was a kid, I always dreamed, what's the life behind that?
What's in that door? What's what's in there? And it's just a
tea room. Oh yeah. Listeners will know that Dan and I used to
work for a fine establishment called pop Culture. Yeah, and the guy who
worked in the front office, Chris, I was giking me share that Chris
he operated the video he used to go to. When I was like,
yeah for real, Yeah, I was like, dude, you like raise
me man, Chris is like, stop following me seriously. I used to
like Mom would drop me off at the video shop, go shopping. I
just hang out and talk about wrestling with Chris. Oh. I imagine no
one is surprised by this, but yeah, I mean I spent so much
time in videos doors. It was so good. Yeah, we thought about
it all the time of the podcast. Yeah, you're not even renting stuff,
You're just sort of like reading back. Oh I'm Claude, far too
young to be renting this, but I can read the back yet, and
everyone is going to do the rest of the job. Everyone knew the owner,
so your parents knew you were safe going to the video shop, that
the owner was not gonna let anyone get you. I was like, don't
let him leave. I didn't want to leave. I was gonna leave anyway.
Is the place that I used to go to my first sort of regular
video shot vivid video on Marble Streets, opposite Park. Can you just envision
it immediately, absolutely smell the fear. Not a big place, nothing really
sophisticated about. It was probably like a shop front for something else, or
even like an office for something and it's just a little bit of redecoration.
But there was nothing flash about at all. But it was just wall to
wall there. Jazz Video had a TV. I think it had a TV.
Yeah, yeah, but also the trailers on the TV. Yeah,
you know, posters for coming in yeah, February. But the Peter,
the guy who was running the place, he saw that I was coming down
there far too often. Shout out to Peter. Shout out to Pete wherever
he is these days, hopefully he's listening. And the David, by the
way, your friend last listened to a fur thing a discoun shouted again to
that, Oh did I mention David on four thing of discuss. I think
it was because you went to a party with lovely Deweez. Well that's correct,
yeah, whether or not, it's a patron not and therefore gets this
is this is not exclusive. This is out there to the people. Not
that you can change the rules. I mean, I keep forgetting the rules
of what, who gets what? South Park's south Park for figure discount,
Friends free, Futurama, Sigon Foud, King of the Hill and movies exclusive.
You should have to pay for them. They're all very good. Yeah,
shout out to David. Hi David, And of course Peter at the
video store. Yes, yes, yes, yes, he said I was
coming down on the regular. He saw what I was sort of looking at,
and eventually, you know, when I was way below eighteen, he's
like, I feel free to borrow Evil Dead something like that. A boss
move, such a boss move, and well he was the boss. And
but on her mind that the VHS release of Evil Dead was as pivotal to
Australian filmmakers as the release of Star Wars or anything else. I mean the
Visional one, yeah, Oriel sam Raimio. For me, the most one
of the most iconic covers is Evil Dead two with a Skull. I have
so many memories of walking down the horror section and seeing that cove and going,
I will watch this one day because it's just it was what a cover.
I love that. There's that line in We've got a movie, guys
coming up in February. We're talking about romantic comedy. So yeah, the
poll's going up as it as goes up in the first of February. Oh
so Patron's going to decide what movie we review. It's at in Valentine's month,
so or you've chosen for weddings in a funeral And when Harry mitts out,
mohamma our pale, Mitch has one of his was High Fidelity. Yeah,
yeah's crazy, crazy, stupid love. Yeah, and I went with
there's something about Mary and five and the Days this summer correct. It was
a great moment in High Fidelity where the guys at the record store are talking
about, Okay, what would you say if someone said they haven't seen Evil
Dead too yet? It's like, well, it's never You're not going to
see Evil Dead too. It's like, yeah, you haven't seen it yet.
Yeah, everyone's going to see it, yes, yeah, yeah,
one hundred percent. I just when I was a kid, I've seen that
cover, going that's a movie I want to see one day, not yet
club which you're scared. That's a good thing about Evil Did Too. I
mean, it's it's more funny. It is more funny. I mean,
the great thing about the first Evil Dead is that the closing credits have the
thing at the bottom, the Evil Dead, the ultimate experience in grueling horror
was made in such and such and whatever. It's like, it's really ballsy
on the part of Raymi and co. It's but they're not wrong. I
mean the Dead is so gory and so grotesque, even just the visual offer,
like getting closer to the house that used to scared shit out of me,
spoky, super spooky. And then Evil Did Too. I remember not
being disappointed by going this is that was expecting you to ramp up the disgustingness
and this is just kind of it's a different movie. It really is.
It's the same movie with a different movie. So we're talking about Evil Did
Too because it's read video store. Yes, Chris, Chris video store.
I don't know, I've got there somewhere. How did we get to four
days? I hapened to wait for things streaming having to wait. I don't
know. Kids, I don't know how good they've got it. Kids don't
know because we used to just walk around videos toars go. One of these
days, I'm going to be able to watch that. Yes, yeah,
exactly right. So, yeah, this was a very topical episode. Andah,
going back to my original point, almost more topical than funny. I
mean sometimes most of the time, I'd say they get the balance just right,
And I think I would prefer from a show like South Park that they
maybe er on the side of what do you think was their message with this
one? Government intervention is going to complicate things more than not. And they're
all just as bad as each other, and they're all just to each other.
Yeah, And also any government intervention is usually going to be a power
play on the part of the people who were doing it, as opposed to
the good the welfare of the people who would supposedly aim towards or directed that.
And also there's a whole bunch of professional protesters out there who just love
to take to the streets for just about any cause I think they did a
very really clever job though, of since it was start together so fast.
At the end there with the four days of making Kenny be the boy and
then having that bi the way he gets killed. Oh that actually was I
mean it was nice button to then episode. Oh they're doing the usual getnything.
But yes, with this bit of tached Oh it was awful. Nothing.
So this aired the day before, so it says Easter occurred on the
April twenty third in two thousands east of Sunday, and this usually added Monday
in the show. It must have add on Saturday because this add on April
twenty secondess on April twenty sixth okay, three days after Easter. Upoka was
a nice way of sort of making it an Easter based episode as well in
a South Bike way. I mean, there was no need for her to
be dressed as as the Eester bunny. Not to the best of my rest,
just purely because this is like the South Bike East episode. Yeah,
better throw something in. They didn't. Really, they didn't treat it very
well. Oh Janet Reno, no, I mean my knowledge of Janet Reno
and her record is not necessarily all that great little sketchy I don't think I
was really paying much attention to her at that stage the proceedings where they're not
she's on the wrong side of history. And sure, I mean the US
listeners are be able to tell us. Yeah. So if you're from the
US and you have a working memory of the Eleon Gonzalez situation, biomans give
us some a bit more of a rundown than Wikipedia's provided and our half past
research has provided. Here. This story was also based on the I want
to say Dion Quintuplets Dione so Diobne now. They were born May twenty eighth,
nineteen thirty four. They were the first of Toplets to survive infancy and
actually to grow. Custody for them was signed over to the Red Cross when
they were only a few months old, and eventually the Ontario government stepped in
and passed the Dion Quintuplets Guardianship Act of nineteen thirty five and made them wards
of the Crown until they were eighteen years old. And they were notorious because
they all they were famous because the government essentially profited from them by making the
maturist attraction. So that's where the quintuplets came from? Here blame Canada.
Goodness. I was like, Canada did this America, we expected it from
the Canada. That is a bit sketchy, but although if you sort of
dig into Canada's past, they've got some Look, everyone's got their skeletons and
their closet. Who doesn't. Yes. I also thought there was a lot
of gay jokes in this. It's almost like they got the first like ten
minutes. I was like, is the base of the story is gonna be
about them getting as many like fag references into this as possible, and then
just sort of stopped with the grandpas. Like they even dropped the P word.
I was like, well, that's that's a word that I don't think
we ever need to hear again. It just felt so even for South Like
I was like, oh, I've literally won't my it's ohn my poofters.
Yeah. I mean, I'm assuming this is just them trying to get away
with shit, saying look, we can look at we can say what we
want on South Park. Yeah, Because I mean I don't think this.
I don't think Okay, let's be sensitive and stay the P word. I
don't think it's one that was necessarily used all that much in the United States.
Maybe in Canada, because Canada is you know, it's part of the
Commonwealth. It's got a bit of sett a lot here. Oh oh god,
yeah, I mean an Australia. It was pretty much young okay,
when it comes to slurs or slang terms referned to homosexuals. Americans you have
the F word. Australians, we have the P word. You use that
one a whole lot back in the day, not so much these days.
Remember when I first saw a puff like a like the chair and I was
like that. I was like, m yeah, we used to have an
inflatable thing for our pool when I was growing up. It was this is
how you knew I grew up in the seventies because it was branded Peter Starves
and the cigarette Brandy. But it was a big round inflatable thing and we
also called it the Peter Starts and puff and yeah, as I got a
little older, it was like, by the way, that was my probably
my favorite inflatable pool toy. It was just it was just great. It
was like a big bagel and you know, some things he can alarmed.
But this year sort of not your favorite flatable toy and favorite inflatable pool toy.
That's Correy. It's two different things. Yeah, some things are after
hours, but you know some you know, some rafts you lie on and
things like this. This is sort of took a running jump and you can
either jump off it like like a school board or something, or you could
just sit on it and all that kind of stuff. I love the Peter
stuveins. So if we can find it, I want google this. How
do you say spell stuvans and s t U y V s A N T
I believe are okay, yep. So I'm gonna type what would you call
that the actual word for it? Say pool, inflatable, inflatable, let's
seef it comes up. Imagine if I found a picture of it. If
he does, you're gonna hear like open weeping on those podcasts. This used
to be my plan going to images here and it's just inflatable ship for the
pool. Nah? What was that? So it just had the logo and
it did it? Yeah, like Peter Simonson, that's life or something.
What if I got your customer of view for Christmas? Would you love it?
First of all, you have to buy me a pool. Maybe all
that Patreon money can't afford a oh yeah. I think there's some degree of
and I use the term gardling novelty value in hearing, like an American accent
say oh, look at that gear guy was like hearing. And also I
mean we would say with a T we would say sorry, folks, we
would say poofters, yeah, and he's yeah, grand pays poofters, which
is not necessarily the way that it's pronounced. I mean, I think Australian
listeners, Australian watches what we're going, he's doing it wrong on Americans saying
I just remember as a kid, I've mentioned this on one of our podcasts
that I've watched the wrestling and they would constantly refer to Stephanie McMahon as a
slut, right, And it wasn't censored out, but that sensorbout words like
us and things like that. But in a sture that word is like I
wouldn't be saying that word well pretty much worldwide. I mean, it's not
a nice word to look for a long time. What was it, George
Callen, had you know you got the seven words you can't say on the
TV? I think the Austraian Censorship Board have much the same and they were
usually regarded as swears and stuff we say on our like shit, fuck,
et cetera. Set whereas a word that's an insult but not necessarily described as
a profanity, I know you'd sort of get away with it. It was
just like, well, this is a word that people say, and even
if it is an insult, it's like it's like, I'm really insulted by
using that term. It's good I was using it to insult you. But
speaking of the P word, yes, would you like to get into some
cheap poof cheesy pier. I'm glad you put the XN on cheesy peas.
I love cheesypoofs. You love cheesypoof weed, din'ty cheesypoofs? Sweety all right?
Shot outs to the following people, of course, starting with Katie G.
The number one cheesepoof with her one hundred dollars support absolute legend, Andrew
the richest cheeseypoop in the bear. Yes, Andrews, there's always that,
like when you get back in the potato chips is one that has all the
salts on. It's that's Katie G. That there's one that's flawless. Yeah,
I'm none of our none of our other cheesepoops are flawed. I't want
to say this, but you open a potato chip bag and it's like I'm
leaving you to last. Oh my god, they've got the ads. There's
at least one ad where it's like, our chips are so good. They've
always got some old artisan in his showroom carving them, crafting potato chips by
hands, like this is the actual one, and they crunch when you ete
them. Yeah, whereas others, you know, in the bag, they're
all broken up. But this, oh you're perfect. But Andrew's her with
his fifty dollars support. Thank you so much, Elliot Joy O'Neil from The
Simpsons Simpson's Index podcast. We've got Jordan Molman, Richie, Jonathan Rossi,

Talia Enriquez was funny. So when I said Talia and Rikaez and the Friends
podcast last week, Nicola goes, now, it's actually pronounced Talia or Tarlei,
and I was like, boy, oh boy, do I am something
to tell you. That's twenty minutes of I was like, she's a legend
on the Forefinger discamp podcast now, Talia Enriquez, Jake Mersado, Declan Phoenix,
Bryan McCoy, Josh Hellier, Logan b and James Sheppard, thank you
so much for being top tier supporters. Cheeseypoofs on the Forfinger discount slash going

Shindling, Jack Clark, James coppl, Dick Bennett, Lyons, Pete Lockhart,
Villain at seven four nine, Charlie Stargat, and huge Ass. Thank
you for joining us on Patreon this week. I'm guessing the huge Ass is
not a real name. I'm wondering about. James Cobbledick. Shout out to
James. It sounds like the name of like a south Park news reporter and
we're going now to a James Copperdick, thanks Tom, or a Harry Potter
villain. Yes, that would work as well. Indeed, favorite moments,
mister Davis. I did like it when the good tublets were getting interrogated by
the boys. It's like, well you'll look alie. Do you all think
the same? No, don't be ridiculous, it's an This was full of
old gags that still I know, maybe because you don't expect them from South
Park, and maybe because Parker and Stone I think I just really sharp comic
performers and comic mind. Yeah. Yeah, that old jokes can actually work
really well. I mean another another example is, okay, anyone who's a
grandmother stepped forward? Not so fast? Not so fast? Girls, I
was like, so brutal, but like that's for me. I was just
like, this is the first time I felt like we've seen a Randy moment.
Yeah, everybody's got a grand master for it. That's so fast,
girls. And what's called their Yeah? Yeah, is it Trey's announcement or
just the way they always pronounced it? Because I love when he's like begin
too, car. I just love the matter of that of Cartman voiced by
Trey Mocking. Trey voicing the character had last week last episode as well,
where no one knew how to pronounce a lot of palos. Yeah, and
now everyone's sort of mispronouncing. Yeah. Yeah. I always a winner,
But I think I've only ever attended one, maybe one circus let performance and
thought, look, this is impressive for what it is. But I mean,
I've just never really been a circus guy. I felt like they were
bigger when I was like, Tenige, we've mean about this time. It's
like circus late, You've got to see it. And I was like I
want to. Yeah, you had traditional circuses sort of falling out of favor,
those poor animals. It's good reason. I've said in the past,
how our family trip to Europe and we were in Russia back in the end
of seventy nine or Amenia. Who can tell these Eastern block nation apart they're
all sad in the present. No they're not. But we went to a
traditional Moscow circus and I was a real little wimp when I was a boy,
and I was like, no, they doing that poor beer, you
ride the bike, You went a wimp, you were consider it. I
wasn't considering. I was like, we're paying a lot to go to Europe
enjoying my fucking circuit. Of course not. But yeah, I was like
that's not right. Yeah, I was ahead of the curve and like,
I don't think we should be exploiting these animals, Like I haven't taken the
kids to the zoo. I'm just like, I don't like the zoo.
It's just I know they're being treated as best as possible in like in those
scenarios, but it's like it's still not in their natural habitat true. I'm
finding myself doing a lot of sort of justification ju jitsu, and it's like,
oh, well, yeah, maybe it's part of a breeding program.
We've got to look after them and all this kind of stuff. But you're
right, I mean, seeing like a massive big cat pacing up and down,
Yes, they're clearly not happy. I think they're like a little more
room to move, although my experience with cats are generally like give me somewhere
warm to light down and throwing me some meat. I'm happy we did take
all it to like a like a farm place, like a like a family
park kind of thing where it's just like local animals and like that. But
Ali was just like, why is it in a cage? And I was
like, good question, buddy. Yeah, now the free rams are wearb
maps. Yeah, that's why we're going to take to the werbies who it's
free range. But remember there was this cockatooon and it clearly wasn't happy in
this like cage. And now it's like, I don't think he likes being
in the cage, and I'm like, you're probably right, mate, You're
probably right. The wisdom. I also really enjoyed the reveal of Stark's pond.
But you think it's like this giant getaway scene. It's just all in
Stark's Pond. Oh, by the way, sorry, I'm just finishing my
thought on suits. I think it was around this time that yeah, people
are like, oh no, a traditional circus. They're not doing right by
the animals. What is he going to go to the circus for? Otherwise
maybe acrobats acrobats, and so yeah, that's when the transition came in.
It's like, oh, also, this one's continental and fancy, and you
know, you don't feel like you're going to the circus. You feel like
you're going to a bit of an arty performance. Watching like, you know,
a shitty sitcom home improvement to Frasier. Yeah, I'm smart for watching
this. You're going to the circus now I understood three of the jokes and
Fraser tonight, mam, well, very smart. It's got chapter heading.
Ah yeah but so yeah that was mine. But sorry, you're more of
your favorite of covered online? Yeah? Covered online? Yeah, I guess
it's term for tribute. It is, indeed. Okay, now let's try
to get an answer from someone who's a complete retard. Your first question,
my first question. I don't have a whole lot, but what was the
last shape made by the quintuplets at sirk Dishabille? Was it a dinosaur?
It was? Indeed? I think yes. My first question is what is
on the pjs of Sharon I'm your teddy Bear. I'm your teddy bear.
That was one of mon too. According to Grandpa, what TV show do
you have to watch to wipe out pooftism? That would be mcguiver. That
would be mcgiver. Indeed, what were the two bonus signs on this man?
He changed two more than he got to The one was sleeping bags or
evil Sleeping bags kill slop makes kill I've forgotten the other one Free Cavorkian who
was the man who was arrested for assisting suicide. Wasn't he doctor Jack?
Yeah, don't to give it like a brief little like thirty second synopsis,
not really much. He was just pro he was proagor yeah, yeah,
yeah, And I was like, no, how dare people put themselves to
sleep have death with dignity? It's like, yeah, I'm sorry, but
that's kind of what I'm going for. I think by the time, hopefully
like touch Wood, like thirty forty years from now, it'll be a thing.
I think it's going to be a Futurama thing with the suicide booth for
twenty five cents. So are we allowed to say the espert it gets it
s fucks with the algorithm it does. Yeah. But speaking of future uma,
we're gonna be reviewing Luck of the Friarish today for our supporters on Patreon,
an episode that maybe cry Well, we'll talk about that when we talk
about that. But yes, is it my turn for a question? Go
for it? Okay? Then, According to the Sun of the Airport,
the European elevation above sea level is what forty two hundred forty two hundred.
Crazy is placed on Earth? I think it is. I think, so
all right, that'll do four Trivunless you got one more question for me.
I got no more questions. All right, let's get into our review of
Quintuplets two thousand. The original edit was April twenty six, two thousand,
written and directed by A. Trey Parker. I think that's just going to
be I'll just say that once it just played. That's life. That in
written and directed by a tree pucker. So do the repeccavent, do the
repeca bit, give it a for troop. If we get your tip,
don't get a tippy waitress. And let's give it up for Rebeca. Love
it so much. I think you gotta wait for a while before we get
to that one. But yeah, I can't wait as well. So yes,
Quintuplets two one thousand. The episode kicks off with the parents are already
for circus. Well, I think what she's circus Shiville. I think she
said yes. I don't think she says she says Circus Sheville. She just
leaves at the door. I think. But anyway, there they're ready to
go. They're all feeling sophisticated. You know, they're all middle classes,
like they feel smart and intelligent, and we're going to the circus. Well,
Lou and I have this coming up this weekend. It's very close to
our fifth anniversary, and we're gonna have a little bit of a get away
in Melbourne just for the weekend. And what are we gonna do when we're
up there? I mean, we'll have a look around some shops, are
gonna get a nice air ben big, grab a good steak somewhere. It's
like we see shows, we get like, like, do you want to
go see a movie or something? It's like guys and does Well, we
think we might go see the Groundhog Day musical. Okay? Ever know there
was one cool? Yeah? Yeah, apparently it's not bad. I mean
Bill Marage just there. You can't. I can't get out of this theater.
I'm lasting. I asked my sister Waena, who who loves musical theater,
is always going up to Melbourne see the later show? I said,
any good? She said, very good. Go get together another triumph you
know trested Wayne is another trip. Yeah, so that'll be our things up.
I must have been when when we said that We're like, we're going
to Melbourne and going to the legitimate theater. Yeah, I hope that play
ends the way it starts. That's how it should end, right. Oh
yeah, he just like, is it stunny again? A minute? Did
I fall asleep on the next match? What will you do? The The
ultimate like fuck you to the audience would be to just do it twice?
Right? How far into the second performance do you think it would take you
before you realize they're just doing it again? But anyway, we're going to
be super fancy and go to the theater. Where the hell do you want
to take these boys to see that food food French theater? Crap, you're
gonna turn them into Poofter's dad. Stanley needs to see the arts, well,
he doesn't need to see a bunch of frogs preps around in tights and
makeup, wrapping their packers around each other's faces. Come on, everybody,
let's go close your eyes and coverers. Billy. Remember you're a man the
whole Remember you're a man. I was like, twenty years on would they
do this again? They probably would, depending on the message you're trying to
get across. But it's a ballsy thing to say. Now. Look,
South Pack has the episode later on where yeah, the F word is deployed
rather heavily, and they also talk about the history of it and it's changing
meanings over time and like, yeah, it used to mean this, now
it means this and to this generation. Well, speaking as the character speaking
of Stan, Carlin, Kenny and Cartman, well, no, we use
it in this way or you know, when we say this word, we
mean it in such a way. It's like yeah, but it's yeah.
But if we want to be insulting, we'd say that they make it a
discussion. Remember when The Simpsons did it in season eighteen recently, when it's
like a mighty and he says the word and it comes up at the bottom
that the text with definition of it. And I'm just like saying, you're
like the wind on television where South Park's like, yeah, we's in the
word, but we're actually having discussion about it. Yeah, absolutely, far
more smarter. But so now at the circus and the funny clown there with
Stan, the parents don't think it's hilarious. I love no thanks, go
away, please, no thanks. Reminded me of Kesha trying to hug Jerry
Seinfeld. Have you seen that? Yeah, he's just like, can I
hug you? No thanks? Please? No, no, no thanks,
and she runs off like all sad, and I was like, oh,
what a prick. It's like he doesn't want to be hugged. He was
doing it. First of all, she interrupted the interview. He was doing
an interview on the red carpet. Second of all, he doesn't who the
fuck she is because because the interview is like that was Kesh and he's like,
okay, I don't know that is. I wouldn't let a fucking random
hug me. Some people just don't like being hugged. No, it's perfectly
fine how you're hearing. And it was like, no thanks, I'm okay,
no thanks, and she's just like kept trying to push and he's like,
no thanks, consent, but but yeah, I just reminded me of
the go away please, at least Dans using his man. He's like I
don't want this, can you please? And then the dad's like come on,
you know, and then they do the umbrella and you that was gonna
happen just down god cract crap. Participation. I'm just not a fan of,
whether it's circuses or stand ups or anything like that. In England they're
big on pantomimes. Oh yeah, well, I mean I don't mind it
when it's like you yeah, which is that's a tradition, that's what never
sit front row to stand up. Because we did it once and I was
just like I could star warsh it or something. The entire thing was just
like she get this fucking like gig, we're a star warship. I can
tell the crab just kind of like that was kind of cool, like we
don't really get what you're going with being a penis like we're laughing at you
because like we're paid to laugh at you. But I could tell they went
really luck laughing and Nicholas just sort of sitting there and She's just like,
shut the fuck up, dude. I'm just like this copy on the chin
because I'm like you, I'm not going to like ruin your performance. So
I'm just like film material is this, You've got to You've got to pick
another target. Yeah. Anyway, cartmanham mocks the clown, the clown storms
off, then we get trays announcement. I just thought it was just so
great. But again here it's like we have Cartman's say, we've reached fag
facking Bob Captain and was like, why do you keep dropping this word in
here? Like is this going to mean anything? It didn't really have a
pay Normally there's a payoff, like you said, there's a payoff with in
their episodes, but here there's no real payoff. Well, it's the other
thing. I mean, it's it's the get out of jail free card that
South Park. South Park provides itself, or any show provides itself. Like
you always put the forbidden words or the forbidden thoughts in the mouth of the
character. Who's the villain, who's the one you're not meant to emulate?
Grandpa's an old man, he doesn't know and he doesn't know any better,
or it's the right character to have say it. Yeah, but this was
south This was Cartman saying, but you can say and Cartmen's Cartman's the bad
guy, supposedly the bad guy, even though he's the one who's on all
the T shirts, letters and gentlemen, please no smoking and no flash photography.
During Sucky Giggle Bear, the kids are all bored and we get the
contorting quintuplets from Romania and Kenny's an instant fan. But then Cartman asked,
you know he's another gay guy, and feathers no. But then the kids
are really impressed with how they can do all their little shapes and the t
rex and whatnot, and can't walking in that second one thing. The less
she was fad, they're all identical now she had a gilling up. These
are more These girls are more your era than mine, not maybe not even
your era. But I mean, do you know if there's anyone out there
who's like, oh no, Mary Kate's the better looking olsen um as opposed
to actually, oh no, I'm teenagely. It's like I never really got
into them. I like, I liked them as a killer. They ed
to make these like home video movies. Oh yeah, I used to be
a fan of like those movies when I was a kid, but like and
they made fucking bank off. I'm like, wow, God, there was
one was like something that Nana's getting home to Nana's house for Christmas or something
that was fucking like gold in my house and we watched that so many times.
But but Mary kat Nashalylsen because he just knew they were bitches like that.
They had a reputation being bitch. I was like, eh, I'm
interested. I'm not shout out to them. They've done ship. Yeah,
so well, first they made their money doing whatever, but then they tied
up the four house. Oh yeah, but apparently they're now like the powerhouse
behind some not ultra secret fashion label, but like a really cool fashion label
that you know. It doesn't even promote on like social media or anything like
that. It's just by word of mouth. And it sounds like an absolute
circle joke. Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like when
I drive down Shannon Avenue and share it to these people because you've obviously done
something well. But there's this coffee place right and every time I drive down
Shannon Avenue here in Geelong, it's Nicole's right. There's always a light funk,
there's a like out the door, and I'm like, motherfucker, what
kind of dickhead? Wait, it's half an hour for a cup of coffee,
Get the fuck out. That's true. Having said that, that is
such a fucking like elitist bullshit. It is, but that place is called
Funk and it's actually really good. That's fine. But when I see people
like when I go and do my shopping, come back, like, get
some things in supermke, come back and the people still haven't got into the
store. I'm like, it's a cup of coffee. Get the fucked that's
true. They also who have nice pastries and no sandwiches. Yeah, I
am not one to wait that long. I having said that they're struggling places
over there, go support that in the local place how Siberia is crossed the
road. They do a very nice sandwich as well. You could go there,
but it's always fucking soccer moms with the little PAMs and I'm just like,
ah, I can I see where you're coming from. But having been
a regular patron of the place, well, you're an elitist. I am
I have. I make no bones about this. I'm a complete fucking snot.
And this place has really nice sandwich. Of back when I was eating
carbs, they did a really nice bacon and egg roll. You get that
with a coffee, and it's like, oh man, this is I feel
like I'm in New York City now now speaking of that, when I visit
New York, oh shit, eleven years ago now, the pastry de jure
was called the Cronut. I don't remember the cronut. No, it a
cross between a crosso and a donut. And there's one bakery did the best
one. I'm like, hmm, well, I like peastries. I'm gonna
go check this place out. Be warned, there's gonna be a cue.
How long could it be? Two hours? I was in the keep of
two hours. Never in a million years. I did it because like,
this feels like a quintessential New York experience. This feels like something I could
talk about it in a podcast one day. What's the podcast that says twenty
thirteen. I'm gonna throw it out there. Christian Crean donut overrated. Oh
yeah, I've got some Christy creams. I'm like, it's like kind of
like the Sidefeld discussion. Because people like to say salts. People just like
to say Krispy Kremes. It's like, Chrispy Kreme donuts aren't that good.
They're not that great, Like they're just a don't you go to Uncle Donut
off or something like that. They're fucking light years better. They really are.
Was it Uncle Donuts that what was called it's now called Flowers, now
called flower Boy. Yeah? Yeah, but I'm getting Chrispy Krensher for the
first time, like it's the thing. It's everyone's talking about them. It's
Krispy Kremes. I got. I was like they were that's it. They
were very smart, particularly in Australia because a limited supply they did. It
was always sold out. You have to get it, yeah, and it
wasn't even available with Victoria. It's like they had them at the Sydney Airport
and you always knew when someone was coming back from Sydney because they had Oh
well, I've got to get a box. At Chrispy Grans they don't have
them Victoria and everyone saying how good there. Yeah, it's a bit greasy
and also a little bit dry. Where's the Hello taste flavor? Where are
you? No, there are plenty of good days out in the world,
and I just want to try to shout out to our friends at chrispykan thank
you for you support. Here at the Forget Tread of the Pot. I
feel terrible. I feel like we've become like Graham Kennedy and Burt Newton and
since we just hang shit on products but actually gets them, like, you
know, customers absolutely like what's this? What's his place called the bakery that
I hung it on with all the people in the line and hangs it on
the bakery funk. And I'm sure it's amazing. But the idea of lining
up for half hourf a cup of coffee, but you know, go there.
Apparently if you want to wait that long, Apparently it's worth the wait.
Guy says, check it out. Yes, guy says, check it
out. If you ever in Geelong on Shannon Avenue not open on Mondays and
Tuesday over Monday to Friday for maybe two hours on a Saturday morning and that's
it. Don't forget to buy your souvenirs. Fox. Damn dude, you
see how much money this place is raking in. Yeah, I could prays
around a little tys and sing opportunity for that kind of cash. Hey,
we should start our own cirt pichev. Whoa, yeah, this one's moving
out of town, so we could take over. Let's go practice. I
had this discussion last night. We're at dinner talking about because one of our
friends was a Colline was support and that is won the premiership. The AFL
was shown for Football Premiership and it's all the little knickknacks they make when they
win a premiership and he's like, oh, the club made so much money
this year from the premiership merchandise, and I'm like, but half that shit.
It's like you look at you like why would you buy this? Oh?
Yeah, but then your teams are going to phone and you're like,
I have to buy this five lady. You are sort of doing the cleanus
doing. If you bought three limes you keep one. Yeah. Yeah.
Do you ever go to like those? I forgot one. It's called vintage
Pickers or something out and we've got one out here in North Geelong. There's
Pickures you Union Cafe and next to that there's the second hand place. I
went to one this morning. Oh because I saw on Facebook there was this
like Alli, it's all about the mask at the moment, and had this
like twelve inches of the mass toiler advertising Facebook like it's only five dollars and
I was like, oh, pick that up for Alliott because Dasy's last day
of daycare. Shout out to Elliott. So I was like, I'll be
like a little present. So it's in the kitchen now, so you get
home to you get the mask. You can hear. Yeah, it's like
a place like recycles it's a recycled place. Yeah, like an o shop,
yes, elitist shop, market op shops, and there's your regular Salvos,
and there are a second end places where you go to get your count
afford underwhere I'm gonna to buy this second end But they didn't have a shipload.
I'm talking a shipload of one dollar blue rays and DVDs for real.
Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean you go to place like that and
they're all over the place. Every town has even little regional towns out them,
and you know, there's always these glass cases. They got these little
tiny things like who's buying these? Yeah, someone must be buying them.
Nicol went to this close shop the other day and it just looks like you're
regularly just like you know, not cotton on, but sort of like fancy,
you know, dresses and things like that. She's looking at sher,
is it cool? There's a funky because she's like been trying little bit of
weight and she's like, oh, some ad dresses blah blah blah. And
she looked at it was like nine hundred miles down to like seven fifteen.
She's like, this just looks like it was made by you know, somewhere
it looks like a kmarte dress, you know what I mean, Like it
doesn't look any different from something you get a kmart. Where was this?
This was near the place where you cross over at Westfield where you go towards
Big Way, and if you're walking towards Big w just before you go over
the ever Pass, it's on the left. It's like bright and funky and
these are cooler. There's this scream summer and she's like, but I don't
have seven hundred on a DREI also scream boorhouse. Yes, they look like
it looks like an artsmock. They scream after pay, they really do.
But the kids get the idea here about the souvenirs. We should do our
own circus because they said this is the last show ever, not gonna be
returning to South Park, so decided to start their own circus. They go
to practice. Meanwhile, the Autoplets, they don't want to go back to
Romania, like they want to stay here and see quint tuplets. What did
I say? You're saying octop not top lets here on my nose, don't
know why is it octopolets? Yeah, you're thinking of octoimal I am,
I'm thinking of a pooh d has spin pedal on quintuplets. They don't want
to leave, but they so they sneak out the window. Good on grandmama
looking out for them. Yeah, and look, these kids have had rough
the mother passed away and their grandmama's passed away. But the Romanian go yes.
But the Romanian guys they're waiting outside and then they find the window.
They see them living in a boat, and they pay I want to say
Native Americans. Yes, let's say yeah to help them. Cross Watch turns
out to be starks Pond. The boys are practicing in their underwear, but
they just can't get it right, so they blame Kenny Singing, which sets
up the Kenny storyline for going to get singing lessons, and Grandpa sees them
and yes, we all know what he says that if I knew it,
they turned the under poolpters. I've got again octoplets. The quintuplets escape in
the tree. Grandmama teachers them get up into the tree, and the guys
just read expo. Why were all those explosives there? That's the joke,
And it turns out that's in starks pond. Then Grandpa makes it stand watch
mcgiver to get the friendship who fag nasties out of him? And the quintuplets
and Grandmama are at the front door, and they asked if they can stay,
And Grandpa's impressed because he thinks Grandmama has a nice she's a nice piece
of bass. Yeah, he's impressed. Meanwhile, Kenny is now singing,
singing like Bacelli for Dummies the books you're aware of Andrea Bcelli, of course
I am, yes, yes he was. I feel like he was like
really big at the time, and then he got taken over by Andrea Rio.
Were you I thought it was real first then, but Butelli's like the
singing is like the he plays music. But you know he's now he's still
doing He has like concerts at the movie still now and people pay sixty dollars
a ticket to go watch his life concerts. Dad loved really yeah, which
I know what was the real Sobrise, do you hit an age when you
just go now? This is what I like? Absolutely okay, yeah yeah,
sort of easy to digest. Classical music just goes down the trees.
Yeah. I remember writing about this age. I'd write about this on Facebook
a while because I was always sort of astonished growing up. You know.
It's when I was going up it see ads on TV for the there was
a one guy in particularly named Richard Klaidman. I think it was either French
or Gery. He certainly looked Germany. He looked like a he looked like
an Airyan fucking perfection. He was blonde, blue, looked like a Scars
Gut, looked like a lost Scars Gut brother. But he played the piano
and he was always smiling and very handsome. And you I like, you
trust you, You're gonna take You're gonna my mom's gonna run away with you.
But that's the kind of audience that would appeal to. It was like,
get Richard Claderman's album for your mom for Mother's Day. And it's not
funny though when you were a kid, back to it a slight little sidebar.
When you're a kid, you didn't like your m seeing any other men
attractive, You're like, no, you're with my dad. Was the fear
of the separation. But I was never concerned about that because my mom always
had men on the side. Correct Margaret Mary want to go on. No.
She always this is gonna sound very gender normanive and all that kind of
stuff and very sort of patriarch. It's not, it's not. I wasn't
looking at you feet, by the way, I just saw Jet was underneath
us. I was like, I don't mind, you're looking at my feet
there they're super high chess in the laundry. Mum would have no. No.
She cut out pictures from the from the paper of the people that she
had to crush, and it's usually a footballer X sixty minutes reporter George Nigas
was one of them. He was like this real sort of he was the
marcho guy in the sixty minutes lineup. Had had a great mustache. That's
a symbol of masculinity, very much. Yeah, and she still does it
to this day. Who did she have up? The latest ones are?
She likes Tom Hidleston hits I think I said Tom Hawkin's okay, no,
no, But she also likes some other Joel cell would she loves? Who
doesn't love Joe so well? There's a couple of pictures in Dano's recording studio
of the great Joel. But also oh there was who was he played for
the Dockers, played for the Freemantle Dockers. Maybe still not Pablich. I
used to go up with a girl that was a real big Dockers fan,
and she was how long ago are we talking? Oh, it's about ten
years ago. He was the young, fresh faced one and he became captain
the bench that five five. Yeah, she loved that five. I'm like,
do you why did you have any pictures of your son? It's like
when you know, we're on a drug fueled rage and all the chicks are
like because it's so hot, and I'm like, listen to what he's been
doing late? What it's such as life tattooed on him? What's he been
doing lately? Cocaine? She had the bank comes. Apparently he's doing a
lot better for himself now, so I heard, And good on him for
getting back on the straight and now. Yes, but yeah, that's awesome
because Howard's Marga Marina ninety three, she has ninety three three, still cutting
out her favorite people put on the wall. That's wasn't I wondered, like
her and your dad had a deal. It's like, all right, you
can have your pornose, but I'm gonna cut out my favorites and put them
on the laundry wall. I can handle mum putting things on the on the
laundry wall. I can't handle the idea of my dad he had pornos.
Everyone had pornos in those days. Man, maybe everyone's out except mine.
But I interrupted, was that your story? I interrupted your story saying about
it's like I said, you hate it when your parents found someone's attractive.
Yeah, that was that the story. That was That was the story.
I never side by something else the joke. But this is where Grandpa though.
So we've got the Bachli books and then Kenny singing, and it's sort
of like the back backing track for Grandpa seeing Grandmama. I love the crossing
the tracks. Sorry, that's there was a side. I knew there was
a side, but no, that was just that. Yeah, yeah,
they reckon that when you hit a certain age, just like you're in the
classical now or you're in an easy listening now. I put smoothly f one
now, that's absolutely good times, great classic kids on gold one, I
thought. But when they put songs on it, and I'm like, this
came out ten years ago, and I was like old when that song came
out. No, when they start putting your the soundtrack of Your Youth on
the easy Listening, I was like, oh that sort of my my teenage
years, like my youth youth. I'm like this song that old Nicholas like
it was like fifteen years ago. I'm like, ship it was. But
I was like, oh, this is ridiculous. I'm going to be rocking
out till I die man forever, forever. And I heard some version of
Nora Jones, who im talking about it Easier Listening, doing a version of
have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I was like, you know what,
that's not. I get it. I get it. So by your Michael
Bubla for Christmas. No, No, although you have the soup market now,
it's like he's got a branded like mineral water called Bubbly. I saw
that, which is not it's Bubbly, it's b l b u wy.
Yeah. It's like, oh, Mike, come hey, what ever brings
in the cash? Well that's true. I mean you're not making a cent
per stream on Spotify and Wicker swaps places. I mean you swap places,
oh you would, but as long as on the kids are with me.
It was a Saturday Live gag that he Michael bubb Michael Buble how to think,
called Michael Bubbley, and now it's actual real. What the hell if
people are buying that ship, go for it. Welcome to late stage capitalism.
Yep, grandpather like and subscribe. He flirts with Grandmama of the singing
in the background. They worts, yeah, they bang. He has the
time of his life. I'm always a start. I guess I see where
people are coming from, like, oh, you know she's a gymnast,
or she's been with a gymnast. No, been with people who were gymnastic.
Yes, I was gonna say something, but I won't. Okay,
no, it would be no, No, this was another thing entirely.
But but I can't understand why gymnasts and contortion are kind of like, hmm,
well, I wonder what they'd get to. I imagine they get up
the same things that we all get up to. Yeah, maybe just a
few less steps. They get from eight to Z much quicker. No,
they take a long time to get We're just put the fun right along the
way. It's a roller coaster as opposed to a slight in It's like playing
twister. Yeah, ever played naked Twister, never have. I have a
few times fun good fun. Yeah, okay, but yes, I imagine
you and the dudes enjoyed that. I'm being being keeping with the tone of
this episode. Yes, but Grandmama the next day and she's still in bed.
It's eleven am, and Grandpa thinks, you know, of course she
is. You have trouble walking, just usual shit. Stam brings the quintuplets
to see the guys and they all agree to help with their circus as well.
So everyone's very, very happy. Then Randy finds Grandmama. She got
flies buzzing around her. She is gone. The flies is a very seth
buch. Yes it is, and no one of sho didn't say good night
last night. Took him a moment. Yes. Then they go to tell
the quintuplets girls, we have some bad news. Everyone who has a grandma
stepped forward. Not so fast. Girls. The boys then asked, well,
can they please stay because we need them as part of our circus.
You know, they don't want to go home anyway. This is the thing
though, they said at the start of the episode, we don't want to
go home, We don't want to go back. But then at the they're
like, how dare you boys say that your country is better than ours?
Like, we don't want to go back. Then I'm like, wasn't it
the whole reason you ran in the first place. Well, yeah, I
think they're probably a bit put off by the whole pressure that everyone's sort of
putting up. They're making a lot of assumption. You think you know us,
Yes, but we have the news report and everyone's now coming to see
them. So this is essentially the Canadian government capitalizing on those contuplets from the
thirties. Admission is five dollars. If you paid exture, you can feed
them some fishtings. And this is where the Romanians see the news report and
he references Romania as like the asshole of the world and things like that.
So, oh no, this could kill out tourism. So he sends the
goons to go get the girls back. We come out from commercially. Kenny
is now doing singing classes and the teacher they went to his name, but
it's just your classic Trey Parker flamboint vice, Yeah, yeah, sweater around
the shoulders. What was the show that's now been canceled? His name cryst
Lily mister g was it or something? Oh yeah, yeah, it was
the flamboyant from Summer High Tide. Yeah, they keeps being canceled out right
crystally. I think he's been canceled for multiple reasons. Yeah, okay,
both artistic crime and I don't think you've actually done any actual crimes, so
I think he's just sort of regarded as kind of creepy. Summer Heart's High
was huge when I was a teenager. It was like the show that whenever
you went to someone's house, everyone had a copy of The Summer Hearts tied
David set. Every house had it our age and we always just put it
on. It'd always be on. I remember we first did you know,
Weekend be Heroes. I think it was his first souloce that wasn't as big
for us. No, no, but then I think Summer High Side was
after that. It just it just appealed to because I was going through high
school at time. I was like, this is high school. It just
felt so real. Yeah, but then you sort of take a step back
and realize this guy seems to be really relishing playing a teenage girl, seems
to really keen to pull out the black face and you know, in the
twenty first century, and I don't know, I think his last show was
called Lunatics, and I just, oh god, I hated it. Really.
What was bad about it? Oh, it was just he was presenting
these characters who were just really just obnoxious and abrasive, and you know,
you could, well you're hoping at least it's like, okay, yeah,
you present these characters all the flaws at the very start, and then over
the course of the show you realize, oh, no, they're human,
they're just like us, but they're being gross or whatever, sort of out
of a defense meaning or something, and you gotta learn that as you watch
the very end. It's like, I've got time for that. Shit.
No, they've been fucking terrible for three episodes, but I don't care if
they have character growth by the end of episode six, give me a little
something before then you kind of go that turns off breaking about at the episode
one, right, No, see breaking down. People I've talked to like,
oh, the first episode was so born. I didn't watch anymore of
it. I'm like, hell is wrong with you? Jesus Christ? Why
am I watching this show? About this? Advertising goes smokes and drinks and
it's kind of cruel women. I don't know, because man, Men's the
best show either. It's like Nicola, we watched One Division, right,
which was a okay show. I didn't I wasn't a huge fan. But
Nicola's like, I don't understand that. I'm not watching anymore. I'm like,
but if I guarantee, if we just keep watching more episodes, it'll
all make sense. She's like, no, I'm not watching it. I'm
like, we just have no patience anymore. It's true, like you've in
a lot of ways, even with a limited series, people are just like,
no, if this doesn't make sense in episode one, I'm not gonna
give it any chance. And I'm just like, yeah, it's presenting a
fairly new and unprecedented challenge for quote unquote content creators or storytellers or whatever.
It's like, how do I sort of be true to No, there's gonna
be character growth and it's gonna be worth it with keeping him engaged from the
from the get go. Yeah, it's a tough one. It's like,
kids, Now, I put a movie on. It's like the Son of
Bigfoot, right, and they knew that in the movie you're gonna see big
Foot and it's like fifteen minutes and you, of course haven't seen Bigfoot yet,
and Allian like when we see Bigfoot, and I'm like, just fucking
a way for Bigfoot. He'll be coming soon. I want to see Bigfoot.
I'm like, oh my god, remember when I was a kid,
I was put a fucking movie on, has watched it, but then put
something else on. I'm like, oh my god, you remind me.
This is sort of semi related. Lou and I were watching the Tennessee other
night with Louse on. Felix out to center, shout out to shout out
to Yannick Sinner, Yeah, well, don't care, noking off Jokovic and
then knocking over everybody else off met to the West Indies beating the Australian cricketer
as well. Oh there's cricket on, okay. Some reason, Felix started
talking about like The Godfather, which he has never seen, but he's saying,
oh, you know how there's that that middle brother who's who's a bit
of a loser. I said, oh, you're talking about afraid. He
goes, yeah, like you, I said, Felix, that is the
worst thing you have ever said to me, you're in my entire because oh,
I'm sorry. Have you ever seen The Godfather? Oh no, no,
we're watching The Godfather, so you know what it means to call somebody
afraid. I've got a story for you, by the way, and we
go to The Godfather. I died inside. I wen't name who because it
was it's so bad. But I saw The Godfather and this girl like our
age. She was like, Godfather, is that the one where they go
the pretzels are making the pretzels are making me thirsty? And I was like,
oh shit, you're being serious. I was like, like the love
of the fact. She was like, is it that one? That was
what I was realizing, Oh my god, No, that's the sogn Fed
episode, you guys. Oh that Sinfeld wasn't. I'm like, there's so
much content out there that it's getting happy to tell. What's is that the
Grandfather? Is that the one that these pretzels are making me thirsty? That's
a really interesting mashup. I was just like, what is happening, Randy,
Randy, you better have a look at this. What Until the US
government received this video, which was sent from Romania just hours ago, Hello,
this is a Romanian father. I am desperate to have my girls returned
to me in Romania. Oh that's your dad. Maybe we haven't seen that
part from more than five years. Oh I missed them all, little Nodia,
Nadia, my sweet burst. Anyway, my heart is for their return.
I know the American government will do it right. Thank you. We
never actually find it if it actually is their father, because they don't know
who the father is either. Well that's true, but they do say at
the very end, when Papa you left. Yeah, I could be they're
just accepting it because we've got no one else now I have there no parents
in their life. But the boys are watching them the news report here,
and it's just basically the whole Romania. They press you and try to bring
you down, but then meanwhile Kenny is singing his way to Europe, and
basically the guys are like, you don't want to go to to Romania despite
the fact that your dad's there Clars put the gun to his head, but
like, we'll give you a turp of America, show you the highlights of
America, which includes theme parks, burgers, sheep shearing apparently, and shopping
malls. Hooray. I love Carton's voice whenever he's trying to sell you on
something. Shipping cheese. Yes. Kenny then arrives at Europe as well.
So the Romanians then see Janet Reno and they're there with the father and she
invites, what do you want to stay here as well and have a great
life life, and the father's like yeah, okay, but they don't want
to do that, and she says, all right, well, look,
we'll do everything in our power to make this all as confusing as possible.
Then we get the protesters at Stan's house. Romania is gay, and then
the first murder guy arrived that we mentioned earlier. Basically the whole point here
is just saying that they ever know what the're protesting about. I just want
to protest. Let the Quinn say, Let the Quinn say, Romania is
gay, fur is murder, fur is murder. Oh what are we protesting
here? Romania sucks. Oh let's see here we go. Romania sucks.
Romania sucks. And then the army arrives to take back the quintuplets, but
they said to them, you've got to Easter Sunday to comply. The protesters
then attack the army. Meanwhile, the boys are practicing and the parents say,
unfortunately, guys, you can't do your circus. The courts have decided
that the girls must leave on Easter Sunday. We at the news report here,
and Janet Rena herself is going to be extra writing them. She arrives
in the halicof dresses. The Easter money. I just love that. And
when you get their handles, the mistakes still with teas. Meanwhile, Kenny
is getting inducted into the Romanian school. He's a huge success there. They
love. Everyone's just as poor as them. Yep, you're your two hundred
American dollars were last week's here. Yes, everything's cheap. We are so
goddamn poor. Oh. There's a lot of footage going around. But I
saw just one the other day of some guy who's like, Hey, I'm
an American and I'm living in Bali, and you know who's there's so much
money. I spend a month living in Bali though you are living in balk
Look at this great lifestyle. This looks perfectly fine. But the same time,
where's your dona, mate? They've got a lot of good donut chops.
Yeah, okay, but Balik against Bali, but it's like, I'd
much rather live in Australia. And Janet know she enters with the gun as
well. She throws the eggs in and they everyone just busts in. Grandpa
incites the shooting. They all just start shooting everywhere. That's basically taking the
mickey out of just government's just excessive force. Oh yeah, you've got a
bit of Waco, Texas here as well. Yeah, the house gets destroyed,
the girls get taken away, and Stan he's just sad because he's gonna
have no circus now. Meanwhile, Kenny is a huge excess in Romania.
He agrees to stay. He's gonna leave his friends and family behind his he's
loving life. Now Rose is thrown at him. Why would he go back?
But then we come back to South Park and they're going through the rubble
of the house and they saying, what happened to here? The government destroyed
their house, they took the girls. Stan then tries to get the mob
to get onto their side, and well, I only get over time.
I mean, it's it's a good mentality, but when you've got no job
in the first place, that's the thing I don't know where they say around
there will be in Australia. It's like when you get jobs at a protest
and have you ever protested? I just like, I mean nothing against protesters,
but they never achieve what they're sitting it like, it's like it's about
getting the message out there. It's like it never makes a difference. It
really doesn't. Part of me as I get older is thinking maybe I should
join a couple of climate protests. Just why. I don't know why what?
It won't achieve anything, Like I I more power. I know,
it's your heart's in the right place, but you're fucking wasting your time.
It's more to sue your own soul, I think than yeah, you know,
you can look in the mirror at the end of the day. So
at least I did something. At least I try to do something stop people
from getting to work on time. Oh oh look, Oh no, I
certain wouldn't do. Those people are like to sit in the middle of the
highway and it's like these people are just trying to get to their fucking jobs
and you're making life hard for them. And by doing so, they're actually
parking their cars and they're idling on the street. Causing more fucking pollution in
the air. Man. I've been quite up in one of those ones where
I have to drive the Malburn for a gig for Ford, and we'll start
there for like two hours in traffic because these protesters were like trying to glue
themselves for the road, and I'm like, that's true. It often causes
more harm than good to the cause. But they, yes, the protests
eventually agree because the're gonna get over time. And then the papers they're getting
their photos know that the press photos that ev smile, everyone's happy. The
girls that they're not happy at all though. Then the US government and they've
now made a video the other way around. So they've got Kenny's dad and
they've got a gun to his head and they want to get Kenny to come
back to the country. I wonder at what point in the episode where they
changed it. So it's like, because this, yeah, here felt at
a place a little bit. I mean, for the most part, it
feels pretty seamless. Yeah, but it's like, why does the US government
want Kenny back? It didn't really think it was just like all of a
sudden, on the news, Kenny's dads on the news It's like they cut
out all the scenes of them wanting given a reason why they want Kenny back.
It was an America doesn't want to be one upped. I guess maybe
who knows. But the angry mob then arrived to stop the Romanians. This
is gonna be one of my trivia questions. Is a poster on the wall
in the in the office, noticed that join the army? It's killer,
it's killer. Yes, they don't fight the mob. Then Nadia calls the
one person who can help, which we find out who that is in just
a few moments. The quintuplets. They stopped the fight. Idiots. Yeah,
when you yourself, look at your father. You walk out on us
nine years ago, and now you act like you missed us so much.
You are a layer, And I think, yeah, you shud and your
Rominian leaders. You don't care about us. Oh you care about this making
America look stupid? Yeah? Guy, you guys you did, and you
prodcasters. Don't you have anything better to do? Get a life? Yeah?
And you boys are the worst of gown. Huh. You know nothing
about Romania and yet you assume America is so much better. Maybe Romania isn't
as nice as America, but it is our home. We are Romanian.
Oh you care about is your own stupid service? Where are you going?
Girls? The only place we can go. We're going on opera and then
a book tour. Yes you can. Okis are little white Romanian asses.
Soper still have a show, I don't think so. I don't think she
does anyone. I think she does like specials occasionally. I think she's sort
of foundation player. Now what's up of Look Oprah TV Show? When you're
gonna I'm gonna enter tend eeasy, what do you reckon? I'm going to
say, because Alan kind of like took over, didn't it? The Oprah
Winfrey Show? It ended twenty five seasons and it ended in twenty eleven,
So you're right, Yeah, that's how long ago? That's thirteen years ago.
We yeah, there we go. But then she's got other special Oprah
Where are they now? Oprah's next Chapter, Super Soul Sunday, Oprah's Life
Class talk to Harry and Meghan. Yes, I mean she's like what she
did for herself, it's very impressive, absolutely, like more power to her.
Was she actually a good interview or she just you know, people trusted
her. Well, I think that's a key trade of a good interview.
It is, yeah, But I mean when you watch it though, was
it an entertaining interview? Yeah, because I think she had a great She
was able to project a great deal of empathy and sympathy, and you know,
she made people feel comfortable and made them feel comfortable to disclose stuff they
might not otherwise do. When I think of the Brash Show, I always
just think of Tom Cruise jumping on the couch. I always thinking, you
got a car, You get a car everyone, Yeah, that was secret,
and you get a cut. Maybe you go into a show and get
in the car. Holy shit. The next day you get the snickers,
you get a food baket. That's the thing. If you said a present
like that, you've got to deliver the cars all the time. Pretty much.
Yeah, mobs, But so they go Oprah. They're start in their
book tour and the boys under I wondered whatever happened to Kenny and the US
government of breaking in. It's the same story. They're breaking the same sort
of shot. The photo there of him holding Kenny in the in the cupboard
and they accidently shoot him and that's the end of the episode no Uk Kenny,
you bastard, but you know what are you gonna do? So yeah,
overall, like it wasn't like a laugh out loud episode. It was
more about you know, pushing not an agenda but like you said in a
message. But once I understood the source material more and knew the case,
this episode made a lot more sense to me because I was going essentially blind.
I had no I was ten at the time and when this is all
going down, so I had no idea about the case. That's shot in
the cupboard. Though I've seen that photos. I was like, that's like
some thing. I'm like, I know, that's visual stuff. They keep
going back to that same shot absolutely, and now that was I think.
If yeah, you ask average person if they remember the Alley on Gonzales case,
they're probably like, sort of maybe if you're showing them that photo,
they're like, oh, yeah, I do remember that. It's like the
not on a different scale, but like the koala getting the water ported in
his mouth, that's right, that's not conic photo for Australia. I think
that sort of like sums up summer Australia, right, And thankfully, like
we haven't really had a summer so far this year, there hasn't been like
bushfires ripping through the country and things like that. Certainly not a bit of
cyclones and ship Yeah yeah, I mean Queensland's doing it really tough. News
Wales did it very very hard. Maybe even parts of Victoria had really bad
flooding. Yeah. I think the other side of the country West Australia has
been incredibly hot, and certainly the Northern Territory has been pretty hot as well.
Not the fires haven't been this bent. Although you know, there's predictions
that you know, February March are actually going to be pretty darn hot.
Okay, well, risally going to be January and now they've pushed it over.
They probably it's like the cricket, the cricket on the weekend. They're
like, either it's going to be rained out on Sunday and Mondays, you
know, ninety per chance of rain, blah blah blah, not a drop.
You can't trust not a drop your meteorologists and the weather people, and
you cannot trust the weather man. It's just that there's always wrong. It's
just you want to know what the weather is tomorrow, Wait till tomorrow.
