So maybe we should just quit. This operation has cost over fifty million dollars
since lunch. US government policy is very clear, never back down, never
admit a mistake. That's why we won over half the wars we fought.
Four finger Discounted, Welcome to four figure discap, the podcast that certainly belongs
on frontline Infantry. This week we hit a review episode hjb F two one.
It is gi annoyed grunt. I am dando oh and I'm going sorry.
I was distracted. Those too busy drawing a wang on mamat you got
to drawing wings. I'm very basic. I'm just very just like line line
assume shape at the end. Yeah, two circles and a U shape.
Yeah, I don't have the skills of this. What's his name? Seth
No, who's from? Yeah? From super Bad? Joona Hill Hill from
super Bad. Yeah, apparently serious dicks in that movie. Yeah, apparently
it was either Seth's brother or Evan Goldberg, Set's co writer who drew all
the dicks. Okay, he's been cantled. Apparently hasn't he? Seth Rog
Jenna Hill apparently very controlling relationships and yeah, using therapy speak to justify sort
of being a little bit controlling. I don't know. You had a lot
of guys saying no, girl was just you know, staying what he likes
in relationships. Guys aren't allowed to do that. Women saying no, you're
not allowed to do that anyway. M fun fun fact from the Super Bad
commentary. Apparently they had to get an adult with a very childlike hand drawing
the actual dis because you could not have an actual child drawing those penises or
in proximity to those pictures of penises, couldn't just like c G I a
small hand or something. This was two thousand and eight. I probably would
have looked like the Rockets and Tom Scorpion one of the worst ces you guys
ever, so terrible. But apparently they got like a young woman to do
it. But I mean, like shit, yeah, over the age of
eighteen, but with sort of hands that would pass for that of a young
boy. It was a hand model, it was. George was a hand
model for a while in Sidefeld and Joey I believe was a hand model as
well. David Coveany was a hand model in Zoolander. He was indeed,
yeah, yeah, like a hand model. Yeah, yeah, mine neither.
I was looking at my hands the other day, and you know they
say that the hands are the real indicator of like how old you're getting.
I mean, you can do all manner of imagine if you actually done some
manual labor as well. Holy oh Jesus, that look like bloody, pretty
kuger hands. You know, you can do all mann of stuff to your
face and get you know, botox and whatever. But you look at the
hands like are they wrinkly? Yeah, old fucker. And yeah, I
was look at my hands going, oh my god. So this question was
to have in high school'd be like, look at your fingernails, right,
and you just did that? Well no, I was sort of showing and
I was looking at the back of my head. So you're doing the friends
thing where it's like if you do it, like you hold up your hand
and you're like looking at it, or do you fold them in on yourself?
Look? Is that a friend's thing? Yeah? Yeah, they because
I think Chandler actually did it looking at the back of his hand as opposed
to folding his folding it. Yeah, I always got that. Yeah,
I never do that. Yeah, I think I probably do the that,
which means I'm not there's anything wrong with that, Panzy by Very two thousand.
Indeed, speaking of this episode, not good. Yeah, you'll notice
that we're not talking about GI don't too much. I refuse to call a
g I annoyed grunt. I hate the way they do it in the titles
when they say it's so clever it was colever the first time or not anymore.
Yeah, it's just dope. It's dope. It's because they always write
it. They don't write dope in any of the scripts. To this day,
it still says annoyd grunt. Okay, well we'll here on a good
thing, stick to it, I guess. But this is not a good
thing. Need it was? This episode not great? No, can I
explain why I didn't like it? Please do it. This is exactly even
they're doing this episode here. It's the opposite of what they did last week
with the Treos of Horror, with the end segment where it's like compared to
the Iraq War, right, where they raised the issue of the Iraqi War
and whether it was right or wrong, they didn't do it in a way
that was too on the nose. This was just so blunt and to the
point where it's like, ah, enough already, yes, you guys brought
a sledgehammer to a don't do a satire party. I don't know. Something
I was thinking about when watching the episode this episode was I don't know what
I dislike more something that brings nothing to the table, or something that brings
something kind of ship to the table and things that's brought something great, which
is what this episode did. You know you basically brought a pack of gum
to the potlug dinner and said, here go get it's his make contribution.
It's like, thanks for the pk fucker. Yeah, so the great rocks
up with a bag of Dorito's. I feel like Georgia whenever George stands here
is like, you know, like he's bringing the packet of ding dongs and
the pepsi to the party. You know, people are gonna be coming up
and say, I'm glad you brought the pepsi. Yeah, but the thing
is like, you know everyone has to bringing sliders, and that's true,
it would suck, and this episode kind of sucked. Well, it's just
it's it felt really I hate to keep using the word lazy, but it
felt lazy and like there wasn't a lot of depth into the Okay, it's
the idea of like, okay, let'stgeous, let's still a thing about Americas
forever wars and how we gets sort of you know, how America gets bogged
into these conflicts and never can find their way out of them recently. Okay,
yeah, that's fine, that's actually not a bad idea, but you've
got to do a little bit more than that. Then on top of that,
it's got the thing where it's explaining jokes, like you know, with
there's a bit with Krusty and he's like, oh, well I got to
able to get a Foxhead jacket and put on this panda suit. Now I've
got to put on panda slippers, oh and Mokey gloves. And then on
top of that he's got to say what is he saying, Yeah, I'm
I'm a terrible person or something. Yeah, yeah, we're real classic,
like, yeah, we get that. You didn't need to explain it.
We're not stupid. I'm kind of stupid, but I'm not that stupid.
In fact, you make me feel more stupid when you do that kind of
shit. Yeah. Yeah, So just a lot of really obvious gags in
this and a lot of really sledgehammer subtle satire, and yeah, that's never
good combination. It's funny. I get moments like that whenever we're watching shows
like we always watched Brain Dead cop shows like White Collar and stuff like that,
and it's like, today we're gonna be targeting this guy, and then
someone in the team's like, yeah, he's the guy that did this and
did this and did this, Like everyone knows this. Why you repeat it?
Oh, because the audience doesn't know. You've got to have some degree
of exposition. But that what separates the whet from the chaff, and how
how cleverly you do that? Yeah, yeah, if you've just got I
think one of the terms that you used used in writers' rooms is as you
know, Bob. That's what they know, as you know Bob, the
ef it rolls around the sun. And I think they actually had that,
you know, the movies like The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day and all
that. They're really bad at that and because they've suposally got all these really
really smart people, but the audience doesn't know about, you know, the
things that they're talking about. So they have someone explaining to like in the
in the dafters, which I actually really enjoy I haven't really watched since someone
to to watch it. I just remember the wolves looking shit. I always
been at the wolves looking tell they're as bad as the Rock and Scorpion King.
But this guy's like the head of the U. S meteor Meteorology Bureau
and the heroes explaining something like, well, you know this is gonna this
is what results in our temperate weather in the US, and the guy says
we all know that. It's like, I'm like, we didn't know that.
Now we do know that, but at least that we know that this
guy's smart. It's always really awkward and wed the hand them of forming like
this is the worlds old man Johnson's hound. Well, I'm aware I hand
it to you. I have actually found myself saying in realizing what am I
looking at you? But not in the room. No, actually that's true.
There'll be times I sort of pick up what am I looking at it?
Do you ever have conversations with yourself? We'll not conversations, but just
like now all the time do you all the time? Yeah? In what
way? What do you what do you converse about? Oh? Just yeah,
I'm sort of idiot head or out loud, no, out loud,
Okay, I love it. I love the sound emoental just sort of.
I think it sort of helps me articulate ideas that I might be, Yeah,
that I'm floating around upstairs, and if I sort of throw them out
into the into the world, it's like that actually didn't sound as nuts as
I thought of it, Or if I want to say it, then it's
like I'm going to find the best way to articulate this. Yeah, I'm
explaining it to myself anyway. I'm like, that's it. I'm an idiot,
right, And if I'm reading a book, I'll find I'll get to
the end of a page I'm like, I read it, but I didn't
read it. I find if I read it something out, I absorb it
far easier than I'm just reading it in my head. Let me tell you
one of the funniest things that ever happened to me, Well, not funniest,
but weirdest and most kind of like, oh, there's a meaning to
the world. It started this new book, and for some reason I felt
like reading it out loud. I mean, I was enjoying the way the
writer was laying out their pros. I'm going to read this out loud.
I think it'd sound nuts if I was reading it. After a couple of
pages, the writer wrote in the book, how good it is to read
something out loud. And I'd never read this beoo before and I had no
idea that this was coming. It was like, what the fuck. It's
like, it's weird some things that happened. Yeah, but I sometimes now
I've got I'm reading Joe Sali's book at the moment and the kids were around.
I was like, I can't read when there's this noise in the house.
I have to read in silence. And then I read it in silence
and I was like, I'm still not reading this. I need to read
it out loud. I read it lad a couple of page and I was
like, ah, yeah, that's what he was talking about. Yeah,
so there's that. And then on top of that, Sorry, just to
go back to, you know, things that I sort of had an issue
with with this episode, just like I don't know how long ago joined the
Navy was probably a fair few seasons ago, but that episode made such an
impression and it's like, you're just going to sort of trot out a lot
of the same ideas. I know that you know you're going to repeat yourself
over time, particularly if you've been going for as long as the sentence as
But yeah, this felt just kind of like plus Simpson Tide came even before
that one where they joined them when he home was in the Navy, but
this was literally the same jokes his hair getting cut off. I was just
like, I've seen all this before, Yeah, and more entertainingly. So
yeah, that last act of them just invading the springfield, I was like,
ah, I get the joke. I got it ten minutes ago,
but you just it's just just felt the same joke over and over again.
Yeah. Anyway, it was not good. The other thing for me was,
so we had Trees of Horror last week, right, so they kind
of copied the story of the theme of the whole Iraqi war. There were,
but we've had we take episode three, episode five. They both started
the exact same way in that. Episode three started with them at the mall,
but it was all broken down. There was nothing left. This one
here one episode later and it's fine again. My very first note, so
the mall is operational again. Okay, literally, the next episode. Yeah
what, Yeah, I mean, god, at least make it a different
mall, you know, have it be the dirt Mall, would be the
market Square of Springfield. I just I just very geelong reference. I think
we discussed it on our review we have, but go back and ever listen.
I was just I could not believe. I'm like, okay, I'm
I know it's been broken up by a treeouse of horror, but still,
these are two episodes like Cannon episodes. We say Cannon quotation marks, but
Cannon episodes back to back once they both start the exact same way at the
mall, except in one episode it's gone and one episode it's thriving. I
was like, this is just is it lazyiness? What is it? Is
it? No? I just don't care. Yeah either, whatever the reason
it's disappointing. Tell you what wasn't disappointing in this episode. Kiefer Sutherland.
Yeah, he's always awesome. He is. Indeed, you're going to love
the twenty four episode where he played where he plays himself excellent. Yeah,
excellent because he's not himself Jack. Yes, indeed, but clearly having a
lot of fun with this. I mean Keith's dad. Donald was. Everyone
knows Donald Sutherland. He's a pointing guy. He's a pointing guy. Yeah
yeah, pointing guy from the end of the Invasion the Bod Yeah yeah,
yeah, yes. But he has one of the most lovely voices. Yeah,
he melliflous. He's been on The Simpsons. Know who he was?
Yeah he was. He exposed the horrible truth about Gibt Springfield. Oh he
didn't expose it. He tried to hide it. That's oh correct, Yes,
yes, yes, you're you're banned from this museum, you and your
children and your children's children for three months. Lovely, lovely voice, fantastic
actor, and keeper is much the same. You know. I've got a
lot of time for Keith. So I was rewatching, you know, a
few eighties movies not long ago, and rewatched The Lost Boys, and it
was one of those movies that I was sort of like when it came out.
I was a teenage movie snob and I was kind of like this,
a bit fleshy and a bit this came out when eighty eighty seven, I
think, yeah, I would have been even twenty, right, none,
I would have been like seventeen or eighteen. Yeah, uh And just h
it's fun. It's pretty good for I rewatched it recently. It's kind of
rocks. This is actually I mean yeah, I mean, you're you've become
that guy that everyone complains about just for a different decade of films. So
you're like, oh, the millennials now they go back to films from twenty
years ago, and you know it was actually good Scooby dude, and you're
like, you know, it was actually good Lost Boys, So I paid
no attention to me, but yeah, rewatching Lost Boys like this actually kind
of rocking. And never I've never watched it, haven't it. No,
it's kind of good. Yeah, Okay, I've just never been a vampire
guy. Okay, this has got vampires in so maybe it's not your thing.
But you know, Keifer is the lead Lost Boy and yeah, you
look at me, Yeah you're kind of you're pretty fucking cool. You're very
charismatic, and yeah, your eyes are just sort of drawn to him,
and he's just rocking the best mullet ever in this really cool effidence. Yeah,
Keifer Suttling, that guy tends to deliver from on no stand. He's
a real like a complete party animal. Really, yeah, I mean the
guy likes a drink. Apparently he's kind of like the leam niece and the
TV shows for Nicolo and like we see his Facebook, we're gonna watch this
show. Well that's the thing. I mean, I remember it being a
huge deal when in like we're making a show called twenty four and Keifer Sutherlin's
in the lead. Is like, wow, I thought he only did movies.
Doing TV that's great. Yeah, I mean, well that's a good
get for twenty four. And then he rocked it on. It had the
cool novelty niche of it being twenty four hours. Yeah exactly. Yeah,
Yeah, I remember like when that first happened, everyone thought it was the
coolest thing ever. Sure did. Yeah, but he's done what Designated Survivors
since? And rabbit Hole as well? Yeah, we were or two others.
We watched both of those. I enjoyed rubber Hole. The thing what
Designated Survival was they didn't end it. Okay, It's like I think it
got canceled and they never like resolved an issue and they brought it back for
like one extra season and this wasn't the same, And yeah, nothing worse
than that. If I was running a TV studio or yah TV yeah studio,
yeah, or something like that. I would ensure it's like, oh,
the show's not rating. But if it's ended on a cliffanger, okay,
you get like a ninety minute movie to wrap it up, the special.
Yeah, all right, here's the money, go write it, wrap
everything up. It puts you in good faith with like the fans and just
people going forward us. Yeah. Yeah, I mean one of my I'm
sure I've mentioned on the show in the past, but one of my favorite
shows in the late nineties was the show called Now and Again, where this
everyday family man who'd been killed in in Excellent his consciousness was transferred into the
body of this super soldier. They like, we've got the body, but
we don't have a spirit and a soul and a brain for it. So
we're going to put this guy in it. And how no sounds fiction?
Okay, And you know he's got this absolutely you know, Superman superhero body,
but he's still got the brain and sensitivity of this middle aged suburbanite who's
still in love with his wife and kids. And you know, it's like
you can't go over you can't ever interact with them. That's got to ruin
the experiments, but they don't know no, no, and he's yeah,
they just know he's dead. But who's this guy? Who's this young,
you know, buff guy who's trying to sort of vaguely his way into our
lives. And it ended on this absolute clifhang, and I'm like, I
can't wait to see what happens neck now and again canceled. I'm like,
oh, you motherfuckers they went and they never resolved. That sucks. Yeah,
yeah, but it was such a good series. Maybe you should write
your own finale. I think that's how a lot of things actually, female
lawyer having lots of sense. You'll know we are talking about anything, but
gee, I know we should probably talk about it. Yeah, but we
have point at Keith of someone. But the thing is, I just thought
this episode just felt very much of the same same, just not done as
good with the whole Homer joining the Navy, but this is the army.
They even't referenced that episode in this in this one here and March points out,
no, you've joined the Navy before, and things like that. Nothing
really I found all that funny in this episode. I'm sure that there were
one or two bits and pieces in there. Well, let's get to them.
He my favorite. So what were your favorite moments? I enjoyed Squeaky
Voice of teens line about the shoe measurers for measuring show. Excuse me,
I'm gonna ruin my first tribut question. He's now an only a Squeaky Voice
team, he's mister Friedman. I'm like, why did you name him?
This guy doesn't need a name? Yeah, because what can you say?
The boss? That's a good point, our manager. This is one of
those things where it's like, I don't know, Yeah, you'd think there'd
be a safety net in the room going, let's not give him a name?
Kind when they when they reveal the name of comic book guy, he
doesn't he's comic book guy, doesn't know. I don't want to know his
name. It makes him human. Then he's not the butt of our jokes
anymore. Yeah, but I did like that he was Yeah, that it
was measuring shoes and nothing else. Yeah, I thought that's pretty funny.
What else I'm sure? Oh? I really enjoyed the most was the Loney
Tunes parody, which doesn't really make much sense, but I just just a
visual of it. I thought it was quite funny. But but then even
then, it's kind of like I suppose for some audiences you're going to have
to have that's all folks having come up on the on the monitors. But
it's like, I think most of us would have known that it's a kids
probably wouldn't have. Well, that's when you know, if you're well,
if kids are watching it by themselves, they're going to go, what's that's
all? Folks mean, if they're watching it with someone a bit older,
they might go, oh, well, cartoons in my day were called looney
tunes, and that's how they used to sign off at the end. So
back in mind, I learned something for the kids would never say for me.
Grew up in the nineties, we didn't have that's all, folks.
It was like the closing, like doom, Dundurn, what what are your
We've we've got the we've talked about it before that The dog, Sit boy,
good dog? Yeah? What are your your favorite ones besides Fox?
Is like the iconic one? Yeah? I mean I do like the Grazie
films, one that's you do yeah, yeah, And I associated with TV
shows. I watch the episode without hearing that at the end. The trist
is a try star. I think it's Castle Rock, that's right, Yeah,
with the lighthouse and everything. That's great. Uh. David Kelly,
who did a lot of law shows like Boston Legal and l A Law.
I think he had one where with like his grandma was watching hockey and the
puck came out of the screen and hit hit her on the head and like
you stinker, Oh you stinker. Yeah that was Duke Carrey show, I
reckon. Oh okay, you stinker. I remember. I remember it from
a lot of David productions. I'm sure there are others that I like.
My man Stephen jknewll maker of I don't he made Magnum p I, but
he made a lot of cop shows in the eighties, very prolific. And
you see him sort of at his typewriter bashing shit away and then he sort
of rips the paper and throws it over his shoulder and it becomes the sea
and Stephen J. Can now they take that off in the Simpsons when Simpsons
the writer. That's right. Yeah, So yeah, that's one of my
favorites. And one I was like that dude looks cool because he was like
a middle aged dude. But he had like he sort of looked like the
ultimate writer of mid level thrillers for dads. Yeah, he's absolute. So
many of these. I can afford my own helicopter. So that's yeah,
that's what he looked like. I thought that would be a cool life.
A video popped up on social media this week where it's just all those bits
back to back to back, and I was like, oh my heart,
I need the link. It's just like, you know, ninety seconds long.
But the man of Nostolgia for it, hold and ship. Speaking of
Stagia, I'm thinking of another thing that I did, Like they sort of
paint as a joke or as a as a form of torture that Homer has
to go live with Abe Simpson and all the others at the retirement castle.
Am I maybe I'm I'm already old, I'm getting older. But I'm like
someone bringing soup and someone singing songs where they work, and name it of
the songs it was judged duty in the afternoons. Fucking rat, What are
you complaining about? Home? This sounds awesome. Pj's all day, pants
around my belly? What's you talking about? This is bad? What are
so we're just looking at the patrons. I'm going down down to please stop
saying what are you talking about? Honestly, God, guys, every single
time he doesn't he puts his hands up. Yeah. Do. It's like
when you do his Zoidberg and when you do so Yeah. That were my
favorite bits. I mean yeah. I also liked when Kiefer Sutherland is sort
of driving through the streets of Springfield lugi his line, come and join the

lovely Wives and that's correct hot tomorrow. Look look up Jolly to Marley.
Is it an actual place? Because look at some one looking up Jolly Tomrley.
Springfield Mexican restaurant. Okay, it's in Springfield as well, but Tamaley
itself is like a it's only in Springfield. Pretty local reference there. Cool,
there's many Springfields in America. But anyway, Indeed, Mexican on one
sort of like food that I've never really been huge. I don't like spicy
food and I always feel unwell after it. The same with Chinese food.
I think it's all the MSG they're put in Chinese food. Yeah, I
mean, I don't mind Chinese food, but it's not really my go to.
We're more tie now, whereas I will definitely go for Mexican. I
love Mexican. Yeah, Mexican graffiti was like the fun place when I was
like, everyone goes to Mexican Graffiti. Now it's just like that's like the
poor man's Mexican food restaurant now a little bit, yeah, I mean,
but it's always been there. It was plus, it was always you know,
it was somewhere you went when you were like a group of seventeen year
olds ago and have for dinner. Yeah, I'm going to say it's a
bunch of crazy crap on the walls, you know. But nowadays and I'll
go to Zambrero if I want my takeaway brito, pay twice as much and
get half the amount of food. Probably the cat. When we went to
Mixing Graffiti about two years ago, Nicolo and I, she got really sick
after eat. But I think it was a bit of heat stroke as well,
because we went to that amazing things out in bull Lap area where it's
like amaze outside. It's near the Mini Gold that's we went there after eating
Mexican and we didn't bring a drink bottle and it was hot. That's a
bad combo. I don't play Mixing Graffiti for that at all. But I
remember like ordering like a brito and it was massive. I love a massive
Breta. I mean when Lunar in California a few months ago, our friend
Claire, who was hosting us took us to this, Yeah, placed by
the side of those Tacorea called my Familia, and you know, it looked
kind of a bit shabby. I swear to god, had the best goddamn
burrito. It was fantastic, you know. And they kept bringing like little
things of guacan chips to the top, no mass so yeah, I mean
it was very good to have authentic Californian mix. Yeah, that is awesome.
What was on the brito? Oh, godly, it had just about
everything else. I mean, you know, had your beans, your lettucey
tomato, you pick out a gallo, a bunch of guaking, there's our
cream cheese. I think I had chicken. Holy shit, that's a lot
of food that was delicious. So good. We're having Tucos for dinner.
Yes, one of the things that my kids will actually eat. Holy you
eat anything. She doesn't hit that agent where she's Yeah, but alliot,
it's just like I eat this, I ain't eat this if it doesn't start
with Mick something. He hadn't eating it. Oh, he's turning into yeah,
like you said the other day, he's getting a bit sort of stroppy.
Yeah, well he's always been like this though, he's been fussy with
his food. It's so much like attitude. But he's just like, I
don't want this, I'm not hungry. Well, I have nuggets, though,
nog you are for a nugget? Kids like nugget nuggets and chips is
like the best thing when you're a kid. Mate. Kids love nugs,
Yeah, they do, indeed, so adults. But I also love trivia.
So hit me with another question. Hit me another one of yours.
According to Millhouse, where is a town where cool kids can be found?
Oh? That's my next question. Dearborn Michigan. Dearborn Michigan. Correct,
So hit me another one of yours. You're still online. The bart statue
that largest holding is labeled what I remember she was holding it? Yeah?
Hm, No, it's called the Cower Bunker Kids, Cower Bunker Kid.
Yeah, you see another gig that doesn't really go anywhere, or a bit
that doesn't go anywhere. And sometimes I don't mind those where it's like it's
all that about this start very much just killing time while await in the movie.
Yeah, it's like, why are you holding statues like this? Why
have you? Yeah? This episode wasn't it at all. It didn't make
me angry. It was just like, oh, what am I watching here?
Yeah? Yeah. People sometimes say it's like, oh, that's ninety
minutes of my life I'll never get back, and this was honestly, yeah,
twenty something minutes of my life I'll never get back. I'm like,
I gotta been eating a nose burrito. Yeah yeah. I final question then,
that you haven't stolen? What time did I go to the reservoir?
Oh, I've written down a time, but I think it might be something
different. Eleven o three? No, what time was it? Eight pm?
Eight pm? Okay? When did they say the reason? Oh?
Yeah? Like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeh yeah, that's right.
I was trying to be a very sneaky squirrel. There's a bit during
the Looney Tunes bit where Homer is in front of like a grandfather clock or
something. Ah okay, and I was like, Dannel will never get And
then it turns out I didn't even understand what the question that I read there?
Have you got time for one more from me? For it? Let's
do it? Okay? What is Homer's major malfunction? He cares too much?
And I was like, does he eh, I'm pretty sure established it.
He's a prick. Yeah, and I guess it's the joke that he
doesn't actually care too much, but still don't remind me, what are you
talking about? God, we did it in fucking fandom. I didn't realize.
By the way, Maurice LaMarsh was a voice on this as well,
because he did the previous one, Chess of Horror Awes and Wales, but
he was also the voice of the assistant Colonel. Doesn't sound like Maurice LaMarsh.
It's usually a very like calculine and awesome Wells kind of voice. But
yeah, this was very different anonymous. Yeah. But the original air date
of g I Annoyd Grunt was November twelve, two thousand and six. It
was written by Daniel Chun and directed by Nancy Kruz. The chalkboar gag we
are not all naked under our clothes and the couch gag The Simpsons are on
a car wash and they don't have a good time, do they? No,
wait forever to it did go for a little while. Yeah, have
you ever been in a car wash? But not in a car That would
be silly, It would be, wouldn't it. I saw a video prop
up on my feed literally this morning. I think it's weird that you asked
me this. I was like, two girls get trapped in the car wash,
and it's like they clearly jumped out of the car thinking it'd be funny,
and they're not trapped. They're jumping in front and like pretending like they're
Oh my god, I like, you brought this upon yourself. Yeah,
and you are not trying to get out of the situation. You are encouraging
it. And you're jumping in front of the soap and it's like six minutes
long of them and it's going my coven and bubbles sixt minutes. I was
like, oh my god, what is happening to this world? And then
you watch g I Doll. Yeah, exactly right. But there was a
kicks off at the mall, which has been refurbished all new, and it's
all back to the pace of seven days. Yes, exactly right, and
and I've just got here. Didn't we just have an intro when it was
abandoned? Anyway, Millhouse wants to go see the mannequin. Then a crush
on at Banana Republic but thinks it's beautiful as well, which doesn't go anywhere.
That's the end of that one. I don't know. I guess it's
an exciting incident to get them to the all. But what a weird inciting
incident? What? Yeah, just go the mall ah. I mean,
I suppose it's fun that you know Millhouses, he's unlucky in love and all
this kind of stuff, and yeah, not great. But they say the
bullies, and they think this is their chance to take advantage and bully them
because their employees, and you can't do anything to the customer. Customers always
right. Yeah, but they didn't really think this planned through because there's going
to be a time when they're off the clock. Yeah. I don't ask
questions. That doesn't make sense, that's question. Don't put logic into these
story quote red Little Media one of my favorite sciences. Don't ask questions.
Just to consume product, then it can started for the next product. That's
the thing. There's going to be many episodes in this season, I reckon
where the branding of Who Cares comes into the equation. This is gonna be
one of those ones where they probably would have asked a question about this,
that and the other Who Cares? We've got a movie to make. They're
pulling on a Matt Selmon, they're pulling a salmon. Looks like I pulled
a salmon. But mister Friedman, the Squeaky Voice team now has a name.
He is their boss. And he says, you know, you can't
do anything to the employees, but Mill has has been douchebags. I mean,
the bully has been beaten up. So they kind of deserve it.
Yes, And Friedman says he leaves for Jolly Tomalley. That's sort of it
for funny reasons, like because they pay more and my money my mother needs
the money. I was like, oh, yeah, that's not a gag,
that's just a line, you know. I mean, we've talked to
Little Past about some episodes. They've got joke density. It's like, oh,
they keep on coming thick and fast, and these are coming thin and
slow. This felt like they went with like the specscript that the base ye
all added to it. The I keep mixing up George Meyer and Schwartzwelder where
they're talking about it's what's wild. I do. Yeah, I do the
ship draft, and then I get to rewrite it and turn it into a
fun drafts like you got us One's World the first draft. Yeah, even
a Swartzweld first draft was much better than this probably was. Yeah, but
he leaves for Jolly Tomiley, as we said, and he's rule for not
waiting on the customer's leaves with him. And we see the boys now tied
up in the window with the shoelaces. The Army's what do you call these
guys? Just the recruiters. Yeah, they entrup the teenagers, idle teens
at one o'clock intercepting in three two s up. Guys heard the new rapsd
Yo, I don't know what I did more hip hop, krunk or serving
my country. You guys hitting on us, No, man, we just
want to talk to you about something near and dear to us. But being
gay close the Army because of exciting current events. The Army needs new members,
new members who want to earn money for college. And see, you're
part of the world that tourists never go to. Don the Army have to
fight in wars, not wars, global struggles. You guys like globes.
Let's go, dude, damn it. Even the dumbest teenagers and the dumbest
town and the dumbest state no better than they joined the Army. Yeah,
I mean they're obviously playing this up, but I mean, this was a
pretty big deal in the in the mid two thousands or early two thousands.
It's like, we need to shore up the numbers, and they were trying
to appeal to the youth. Yeah, so there was a lot of recruiting
going on. Yeah, I mean, of course they're playing it of the
comic purposes, like hey, who's into hip hop? But yeah, I
mean I think there was a fair bit of trying to be down with the
kids. Yeah, they're very anti army the Simpsons, right, Daniel Chinese
anyway, whoever wrote this episode, because like being gay close. Yeah,
it's like they just really they didn't pull it. They just went crazy,
didn't they Eide. It's just so on the nose where it like it wasn't
clever. None of this was clever. But I felt like the end of
Trios of Horror last week was clever in the way they sort of like linked
it to Iraq, right, But this here just felt like, Ah,
we get the fucking joke. You know, you don't like the war?
Can we move on? I'm watching this show to get away from real world
fucking problems. You know. An occasional joke is fine, but a whole
episode of this just felt like way too much. If you're gonna, you
know, take aim at this kind of target, you know, you come
with the King, you better not miss. As they say. Yeah,
I was going to ask you, though, what's your thoughts when you walk
through like the mail or the mall in town, the westfield, whatever,
and you see these people trying to sell ship, It's like do you go
turn around? Do you walk around them, or do you alway something?
I just get the stare and like I'm fixated on this point right here.
Ignore and I'm still terrible. Hey buddy, Hey buddy, You're like,
you know they're talking to you. You're just like, nah, I will
depending on who they are and how they present and can't today, mate,
Sorry you speak it. I've shipped myself. I'm gonna try that next time
I have ship myself. It's like you'd sort of start doing a little walls.
I'm turtling Prairie, got to go that. But the good thing is
when you have a kid, he can news them as excuse I should have
pants made, changing nappy or mum's waiting for her with a nappy bag.
And then I was like, no worries, mate noes and you return like
ten seconds like you said, you go and change nappy. I'm real good
at it. The thing is, when I like to them get around them,
I try my best to make sure I'll never go into that area off.
I don't want to be called out as a liar, particularly you know
when they're they've probably got the moral high ground because magnific I see him again.
But it's like, hey, do you want to help people with heart
disease? Like I guess, but not today. How much have you donated?
I'll match what you donated. I'm doing eating my time. That's true.
I don't care disease. Yeah, but yeah. So basically, they're
trying to recruit the bullies here. It's not working, so they decide to
go younger and it cats with them at the school. I did like the
fact that they sort of explained this by Skinner setting it up because he's form
of sergeant things like that. But even he's just like I no, no,
I'm not going there. No. But the kids taking it back the
whole sort of like trying to pitch the army to the kids was pretty funny.
How many of you like violent video games. How about it? You
know us a video game, but it was real. This guy, this
guy's a legend. And they showed the video of the various villains getting shot,
including Jason Foroyes. Yeah, and a deadly hurricane and the American leaders
now in a rock band and the Army. It's everything you like. They
encourage them to pre enlist because they're too young to sign up now for America's
next unresolvable conflict. I means we're getting revealed that was skinn of the Helps
in a month, but then tells margin Homer what Homer, I son joined
the Army. Big deal. By the time Bart's eighteen, We're going to
control the world. We're China, right. But Lisa, she's now in
PJ even this, I'm just like she's eight. I don't know. This
episode was just ship. It was shit. We'll get their crusty gag with
the baby pans and the monkey mittens classic. Yeah. It's like, yeah,
yes, yes, we're out at the Army recruitment center and suicidals are
welcome, as it says out the front, and Homs like saying, can
you please get rid of Bart? Don't let him and roll he's too young.
They say, fine, but they realize I can convince Homer. So
basically he's a When I say to him, he's like, oh, I
don't want to be gone for too long on a big target like you,
you'll be home soonder. Then later you're playing on his masculinity as well,
And I was like, oh, sounds like me implying that Marge wears the
pants in the family and all that. So it's a way for home and
reclaimed his masculinity and stuff like that. Is this a whole lot of I
mean, there's interesting ideas, but poorly executed. I mean, I just
don't give a ship. I don't want this rubbed in my face. I
don't know. I feel like the Simpsons when needs to do this kind of
thing, they do it in a far more less on the nose entertaining funny
way. In a funny way. Yeah, this wasn't funny anyway. So
and another problem was too in Simpson time when he joined the navy, a
lot of like the Springfieldians joined with him, right with this one here,
we like Cletus and Homer and like a bunch of fucking nobodies. I was
like this, what, Yeah, and Rainy a Wolfcastle. Yeah for one
line, I mean, and also why yeah, I've enlisted to do movies.
I'm like, why why are you doing it this way? Yeah?
Why are you going through basic? What's going on this? Yeah? I
don't know. Let us basic. So Homer then leaves for the army and
he makes Maggie cry, which I'm assuming you would have loved seeing kids cry.
I love it, but it's just it was kind of sad. He's
just like like, like, so, Homer's doesn't work anymore. He listened
to the army. He's just leaving the family behind. What making his kids
cry? And yeah, and just the what was the whole thing that he
was saying. It's like, oh, you won't yeah, that's right,
you won't let petrol get that expensive? Will more than a hundred dollars?
Yeah, one hundred cents a gallon or something like that. Yeah. They
arrive at Fort Clinton, not that Clinton. And Homer says, you know,
what is it not his fault? What's his big major male fas malfunction?
Yeah, which is a reference to Full Metal Jacket. What is your
major malfunction? That's two movies and one that one isn't it that we discussed
before the first half is the first half is fucked up. Yeah, yeah,
and the second half is kind of forgettable. It's it's like you just
turned it off after the first half. It kind of is. There's this
meme going around. You've ever seen that. There's that meme where I don't
know if it's from Sinbad or Roaderldorado, but someone's got a whole lot of
swords at their throat. No, but fucking a vision it though. Yeah.
But the prompt question is is what's your opinion on such and such that
gets you like this? And one was like, what's your unpopular movie opinion
that gets you like unpopular opinion? Yeah, and you know some people say,
oh no, Godfather three is the best of the trilogy or some and
someone said, second half a film full metal Jack is better than the first.
Everyone's like, Gill is the second half it doesn't end with go Pile
blowing his brains out. Yeah, okay, but but yeah, if you
have never seen that movie, watch the first half at least. Yeah.
I mean it does set the bar really high for like leak, yeah,
terrific insults. Yeah, but it is very bleak. Indeed, War as
hell. Do you actually see him shoot himself or was it cut away?
I think you see Hi shoot himself. Okay, yeah, spoiler for Full
Metal Jacket. But speaking of people shooting themselves, I've noticed Twitter lately because
of the water that's going on. There's no like restrictions on the videos on
Twitter, Like I'm sure through my feet, I'm like, I don't want
to see this ship. Yeah, Elon's sucking up like like have you seen
videos people getting shot in the water? And I was like, why is
this in my feet? I think that's suggested for you. I'm like,
why what are you talking about? I think I said to you that I
saw, Yeah, and it pertains particularly to the Israel Hamas. At the
moment, there was like footage of someone with the hoe yeah, well GoPro
on their head and looks like they were using a garden how to try and
behead someone. I think the person was already dead and they were like I'm
going to come up there with his garden home and they like whacking into this
person's neck. Now, the footage was so shitty that it's kind of like
I can't tell if this is manufactured, And luckily I can't really it's not.
And this person so shit with a gardener that they're not really backing the
neck too. Sighting is clearer than this video. True Alien Autopsy has been
a cinematography than this. But at the same time, I was like,
even if this is not real, the proximity to current events and all this
kind of stuff is just tasteless. So, you know, I don't know.
We used to be we used to make things in this world, and
now Elon Musk is just fucking up social media because the other thing is I
mean Twitter used to be, for all its faults, when you had situations
like this, it was really a good source of information because people you know,
on the ground would be able to say, this is what it's actually
like. I go to Twitter. Now, well not so much anymore,
but when I want to know information of what's happening right now, I wouldn't
go to the news websites. I go to Twitter. Yeah, yeah,
it's training, and then you sort of get a little bit more information,
yeah, to find out like what's actually happening, Oh this is training.
Okay, yeah you're right, but yeah I was. I was just scrolling
through last night. It's like a guy with like blows his head off,
and I was like, I was like, why did that pop up?
Yeah? What is happening? Is happening? All I look up is wrestling
pages and Simpson's pages. Why is that suggestion? For me? All I
look up is scarcely clad cars players? Exactly right? Am I getting this?
Yeah? It doesn't They have no idea what's going on? But yeah,
so basically they've completed the basics before that, though, they do their
training. So he gets caught snowflake because the reference to Snowball. I believe
in Full Mental Jacket there's an African American guy who gets called Snowball as an
ironic name anyway, so home and then gets what's the joke here? Where
he gets all the benefits of being a douchebag so he has he gets to
eat donuts and gets a foot rub because he's no good. Yeah, I've
missed the joking that may have been a thing from Full Metal Jacket as well,
where Gomer Pile sucks up but everyone else gets punished which makes them hate
him, which makes them hate him. Yeah, okay, and it's supposedly
you know, meant to like they don't want to, so I'll work harder
and try to become good. But yeah, and I think that actually does
happen for a while. After they beat the shit out with the soap,
he becomes like pretty damn good with his rifle, but then too good with
his rifle. That's it takes me back to like football training. And of
course if you funked up, you'd have to do it as well. But
we should do this thing called forgive me listens. I think it was got
an Indian run. I'm not sure why it was called this. Why it
was called Indian run, Chinese whispers? Why the Chinese whispers? Who knows?
But you would be in a single file Indian file. It was Indian
file was go single file and the person at the front you'd be jogging and
the person at the back had to sprint to the front a right and go
all the way around the level. But if you did it too slow,
they've got right ten more laps then, so then just like we're you gonna
get even slower now. Yeah, but then everyone hates you because you're the
reasons. It's like, ah, man, some good times. I mean,
I love playing football, but I hated the training. I'm telling you,
what's that Beckham documentary. You'd find it kind of interesting. I know
you're saying, Okay, Netflix me what to do, But it's fine.
I'm going to check out first. You've got me converted. I said,
we have to check out this ninety day Fiance because guy never fucking shuts up
about it. So have you not yet? Where is it? Where is
it? It's on Fox Stone, you'll find it on like there's TLC all
Live Style one of those channels. Okay, we only have the Basic and
Sport. Okay, you may not have it. Actually, I tried to
call up in cancer that. I'm like, I want to cancel. Like
you can have movies for free. I'm like, ahh, we've got other
streaming. Like would you like the kids channels for free too? I was
like fine, So I'm like now I'm getting like I'm paying thirty eight dollars
a month and I'm getting the sport, the movies, the kids channels,
and like the entertainment package. Okay, which seems like a good deal.
That does seem like a pretty good deal. Check the entertainment package. Okay,
when we're done here, I'll come out to your TV ninety Day Fiance.
Yes, but you may look, God, I've got even less respect
for going anyway. So we completed the basic training because I wanted to skip
all that. You complete the basic training, that's time for your assignment,
and our base commander will now give you your assignments. Okay, listen up
man, you've got it. Awesome voice, Well thank you? Can you
say? Side effects may include drowsiness and loss of appetite. Side effects may
include drowsiness and loss of appetite. Hmmm, sounded better in my head.
Now we've graded your aptitude tests and assignes you specialities to match your skills.
Frontline infantry, frontline infantry, frontline infantry, front line infantry. I joined
to make recruitment films. Well you know where you're gonna get good footage,
don't you tell me? Frontline infantry. It reminded me of bombardma though front
line infantry, front line infatry. Bombobman, bombobman. Yeah, the same
kind of gag. It's repeating it. But I did like that because everyone
los keith someone's voice. They do. Yeah, So just pointing it out
there, and Homer didn't get an assignment, needed a cletus gets an appearance
here we got the side Shine Malley, Cletus Candy going on in the a
man Dan doing the count in the thing. Thank you Dan, You're doing
the lord's work there to pace your own group. Yeah, Sicho melg gets
an appeance. I' don't sure whef he speaks, but no, he speaks.
He just speaks. Okay, he speaks. I can't remember. I
try to drown it out. But because he've got such low test scores,
that's a nod way to stay handy yet medals. Uh, they are now
going to be basically the enemy that the Patsy's in the war games. And
then it just gets really weird this episode. But they genuinely want to kill
them. Why well they get they Yeah, I mean this is something you
have a little you have to throw a little character development. You have to
you know, make Keith a Sutherlands guy. Maybe he's on the verge of
being bundled out, and maybe he's an old soldier who's like, I need
to show I still got teeth. You know, I'm gonna win these war
games. And you know, he gets so obsessed and that's you know,
he gets fixated on Homer and Homer's you know, fucking up all through basic
and he's like, oh, I can't stand this going. Oh I mean
I get a chance to hunt him down and kill him, and ye know,
he sort of loses track between, you know, his grasp on reality
gets a little loose. I get that the joke. He's like, the
Army's crazy, that's there. They're joke. But it's like, but this
is even too far from the army. It's like, it's just you've gone
too far with this parody. Yeah, and that's pretty tough when the army's
going too far in real life. Yeah. So yeah, So they meet
with the family and they the family come to visit them first before the war
games. How he explains that we're going to be the enemy. We see
them payting death to Homer on the bomb and the notepad new Dad, Lenny
or Carl. He doesn't care how he's going to die anyway. Put outside
for the war games, and Homer shoots off the flares. So it's nighttime.
They've got the night vision goggles on, so it makes them more Goro
is too bright because you shoot the flares off because it's Chinese New Year.
They then raced off to the city and the guy orders them to invade the
American city. We can't invade in American city with the authorization. It's like,
ah, got it, Okay, this is where we're going. So
he has the National Broccoli Day Proclamation. That's right. I don't know,
maybe you'd have to be a real student of American foreign policy to say,
oh they have have they actually smuggled like powers into into very innocuous looking things?
Know? This is it. This is a possible episode. Man,
this is honestly coming to your fun reviewers. It's like the army entered Springfield
and he's got like his little two icee who I guess was the voice of
Marus LaMarsh basically saying the whole time saying nah, no, we don't need
to do this, don't be doing this. What are we doing this for?
And there's kind of like we never stand down. We're going to be
killing them, and it's like what Lenny gets run over by a tank and
it's dead. Homer inclares to hiding and the sewers and the tech runs over
his fingers and it doesn't matter. They're still there. Fuck this episode,
man, We're almost there. Maa is doingku. My dad loves doing my
Mum's very big on them. Yeah, I think the feeing is something I
should get in. That's I feel like you're on the You're on the verge
of like the age where it's like next is in the gray matter. Yeah,
how by the next newspaper to I finish that cross world in the previous
issue. That's great. But yeah, so he's drawing wangs on the older
numbers and things like that, and Marmaduke and Mama Duke. You're not Mama
Duke only the numbers. Yes, but let me suggest it because Lenny's okay,
now to be whatever by take? Yeah, did did that happened first?
Or now the tank was first? And then it was the scene?
No, nothing matters. I concur with this episode. What you're doing mouth
drawing a wang on my my duke? Heck no, I'm challenging myself at
one of these Sudoku games with a Japanese puzzle in which no newmal can be
repeated in a row, column a box. That's how it works. I
was just drawing wangs on the numbers. Well, you gotta hid us from
the army, the Salvation Army. You got it, that that army the
wood from stripes. Okay, thinks, how can I ever repair you?
Hey, some things mean more to meat and money, like a whole lot
of money. Why did you just say that? Sounds fragmant. I get
the long story. Then they fire the guns into the cell to try and
genuinely kill them. I was like, why I don't I don't get the
I don't get your point. Like I know that you're trying to say the
war is bad, army is useless and shit, but it's like, this
is just silly. Now. Yeah, I mean you could have had this
if you're built up to, you know, the military guys sort of going
off the rails and everyone's being a bit shocked by that. It was just
so they could have the whole line of stacked he wants to be stacked naked
and have a hillbilly girl laughing at you, because that was the whole those
photos that came out in like two thousand and it's three or four of the
guys that were all you have to reference this, we have to it's like,
ah, fuck off. You know. Even by then, though this
came out in two thousand and six, the end of two thousand and six,
even that was like not old news, but it'd been out for like
three years by now. That was like a three year old scandal by this
point. Okay, let's get moving. And you're watching it in twenty twenty
three and makes no sense whatever. So they're firing at them in the cellar.
The army this looking for Homer, but Homer is now at home because
you know, the one place they didn't look for him, at his house
because the army stupid home is now in bed with them. Then they see
the predator drone helicopter which flies into the window, sees Homer and chases him
around like a cartoon. I've got here, and I hate it when shows
do this and it shouldn't and it's nerdy and geeking. But how are they
watching the room from the outside on their screens? Okay, what do you
mean? Their drone was the helicopter inside the room it exploded, But when
on their screen, we saw the room explode from the outside and it panned
out and they were watching that on their screen. Oh okay, yeah,
no, yeah, no, no, that's god fucking hell man, Oh
god, just stupid. Yeah, we're almost stupidity. But there's decide to
round up all the ball and fat guys in Springfield, and we get a
Charmers and Skinner moment. The two I see is trying to explain this is
cost us have a fifty million dollars since lunch. We never we must stop
this and I have never met. You've got to made a mistake. Keep
going, Keep going. Homer is now hiding out the retirement castle. I
did like that we finally got the name for the can I come to lady?
Her name is Dorothy. That's rights felt so sorry for her. That's
one of the saddest moments in Simpsons because she's so lonely old woman. But
it's nice to know that. Not so much that we got her name,
but we know now that she has visits. Yes, yes, soupe soup.
Marge uses her phone tree to organize a meeting at the reservoir at eight
pm. This is basically love the This is social media now correct, this
is the Facebook. Facebook. But they're watering down the alcohol or putting alcohol
in the water. Is that what they're doing. Yes, So that's why
Mode tries to hide the fact that he did that. And he's like,
oh no, this is the first time I've done it, and overplays the
joke about his shifty eyes. You're trying to do rules of rule of threes
here, but it's just not working. I think, is this where Mel
talks Will the army get drunk and they wake up to them standing over them?
That's what I saw. But I think when they're all pouring liquor into
the into the reservoir, that's when side shod side chow Mel says something.
Yeah, I was tuning out with this point. I just didn't care.
But they wake up and they said, you know, discuss the terms of
the surrender. They say, no, not. I hope you've learned that
an occupying foreign force can never defeat a determined local populace, among the many
things we learned in Vietnam motivate Lisa the eight year old, When are you
going to learn that occupying foreign force never defeats determined local populace. It's like,
oh, fuck off now. Now. One would think that in the
turbulent times that we're currently in in uh, you know, October twenty twenty
three, that this may still have some relevance, But this episode was just
so blad that we're kind of like, no, look, there's a message
here. If handled correctly, could have been very effective. Yes, and
it's kind of unfortunately Evergreen, you botched it, you had dropped the ball.
Yeah, this was a shit episode. So they eventually signed the surrender
note and Homer has to unfortunately still fulfill his duty and he is now just
a recruiter and it's not even funny. Yeah, and he's trying to recruit
people in the most hamfested way possible. He's having no luck. And that's
the end of the episode. Except over the final credits you have Keifer Suddland
saying variations on frontline infantry and occasionally something else. We love you, Keifer.
We hope you, We hope your kids were entertained by your presence in
this episode. Terrible, not a great episode. No, this is the
top five of all time shitness for me. Yeah, this said make me
as angry as like Code Pennan's day well to quoite a lot of parents everywhere.
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. Yeah. I just felt they
got to the end of this and went, ah, man, I don't
feel like Season eighteen has been that bad so far. No, No,
I think we were a little concerned coming in. But if it's more like
this. Oh, by, we're going to be earning our earning our money.
What do we learn Bomber? All right, did you earn anything from
this episode? The day? Oh my gosh, let me find let me
go through my notes here that that device at the shoe place is actually for
measuring shoes and not your penis. Have you ever measured penis? Yeah?
Oh yeah, not recently. What was the first time you reckon? You
measured it? I reckon? I would have been thirteen. I was probably
about fourteen. Yeah, it's just like it's important to know how long it
is. Yeah, do I measure up? And do you wound up?
Or do you round down? We round up? Always round up? What
the fuck making a position to round down? Forward? Your names will be
all right? It is time for the Guy Davis New names anything? No,
fuck no, the time for the Guy Davis New Name Championship. Well
give it. I just feel they put such a little effort into this.
I'm putting little effort into the new names. Push record. It's right on
me and that's pretty much. And it's rod of me this episode. How
bad it was when it was when I finished watching it, I was like,
oh that wasn't great. Reviewing it, we found that, haven't we
Sometimes it's like, yeah, that was okay to watch, and then on
a deeper dig or deeper dive was like, oh no, terrible. Now
we had an issue with the new names. So we've got a message from
a man, Heath Applebee. We missed up. We basically messed up the
entire fucking talities. Okay, what happened. Yeah, we've been slacked with
the maths around. So Phil Hawkins was in first position on five points,
and Kyle Muldoon was in second position. So Heath that you're now on three
points. So basically hit me with your your three chet one for this week.
Oh okay, So we've sorted it out. So Philip J. Hawkins
is in first position and Kyl Muldoon is in second. Okay, then well
one point goes to the expandables. Well the expandables that puts Kyl Muldon clever
Kyle on four points. Well, Uncle Carle, expendables four is apparently out
in cinemas right now, and Terrible really nears. Oh that's a shame.
They were never any good. They were never good movies. Yeah, that
it was a novelty wasn't it. By the way, he's on five points
not get the maths. So he's now equal first on five points with Philip
ja Hawgens. Two points goes to Homer's Heroes. Homer's heroes, that is
Glenn Gomez. That's his first points for this for this year this season.
Is good on you? Two points? Yeah. So currently right now we've
got Philip Hawkins and Kyle mauldoon both on five points in first position. Okay,
three points goes to full not full full metal jacket. I have to
blow out. That would be always that it again. Luke McKay, he's
now in first Oh gosh, he's climate well, it's out of nowhere.
It's like watching NASCAR, it really is, because you've got three points last
week and he got the three points this week as well. Nice one,
nice one, well played, Luke mccas lut McKay is now in first position
on six points. We have Philip J. Hawkens and KYL muldoon equal second
on five. Alright, it is now time for the mail bag for g
I don't I hope these questions are better than this episode. I bet they
are. They always are. I reckon Andrew JP's asked the question. I
haven't even looked yet, but I'm gonna say yes. I'm also gonna say
yes and JP the first person Top Contributor contributor, what is your favorite military
theme, TV show, movie, and or video game? Oh gosh,
I'm not really a video game guy. I say Major Pain was a huge
hit in the Dando household when I was a kid, Medjorr Peen. Yeah,
your titir out of his mouth and start beating him, starring Demon Wie.
What movies are like? When it was to war movies, I'm like
The Deer Hunter quite a lot. That was a very good one and born
on the fourth of July. My dad was big on the the Nicholas Cage
War film. What was it? Nicholas started with w wind talking wind Talkers.
Yeah, he loved that and he loved the was Mel gibsone. We
Were sold We Were Soldiers that was the other one. Love that movie as
well. Yeah, that's what I always one of us, see, we
were soldiers. I think of my dad because I'll be born in the VHS
did even in the Blu Ray for his birthdays over the years. Video games.
I was never a video game kid either. I know, call of
duty and that kind of thing. But I just I was never any good.
Yeah, I mean that. I think that's the the go to when
people talk about war games is like call of Beauty. I mean, like
God please, codes cotton chips, you know, just like there are certain
titles of default when you're talking about genres of games, when like Grand Theft
Auto is the I guess the driving game GTA Please. Clearly I'm not a
game, but cod it seems to be the one that's like if you go
around shooting people, that's the one you play. Yep, So Joshua Stephen
Olivia Olivia Olivier. Best line you've heard from a military recruiter. We don't
get them much in the show. I feel like it's it's more of a
patriotic thing in America where I can't I can't really remember anytime ever seeing an
army recruiter. I think I've seen a few, and I think they've taken
one look at me and I realized this guy's aged out and also sized out.
You know, this guy's human target, human shield operation, human shield
for guy Davis. No. I yeah, I've never really been trying to
be persuaded to join the military. Sorry, I can't help you with that
one. He also asked, if you were hiding from the military, who
would help hide you but then immediately sell you out? Oh, Mitch,
oh god, it's Margaret Mary. Yeah. Probably he's down there. He's
down there being woke. Harrison McClure, what are your memories of the war
on Tara nine to eleven? That's gonna get bleak. I just remember that.
I remember my mum's screaming like wow, not like terrified, but it's
like what what and waking up and she's like plans ful into the building.
I was like, oh cool, and we're back to bed, like it
didn't didn't sink in. I'm sure I've told this story many times, but
I was working the late shift at the newspaper in Geelong on the night of
September eleventh. We are or when it happened, you know, and we're
hearing like, shit, apparently a plane flew into the World Trade Center.
What the fuck? Wow? That's oh shit, that's pretty ancing. And
now I sort of we start, you know, confirming that then well this
is going to be news. Okay, we better get than it's like and
it's hard to get global news on like in real time. Oh yeah,
I mean the Internet was a thing, but it was still you know,
forums, yeah, gathering yeah yeah. And then someone else said, hey,
a plane is flowing into the World Trade c and he's like yeah,
yeah, we know. It's like no, no, the the other one.
It's like, oh yeah. That was that when it for you realized,
oh, this is premeditated. Yeah. I mean, once we got
actual sort of confirmation on that, and that's all everybody was hearing. It's
all right, yep, and you know the Pentagon got attacked. Yeah yeah,
and then you hear about I think they're going for the Pentagon as well
as like holy fuck, and then they were going to get the house.
Yeah. So this was about nine o'clock I think maybe Australia something no ten,
but yeah, we were approaching the end of the shift. I was
married at I'm here all night. I don't know if you've been watching the
news, but this is what's happening. And yeah, we were there till
I was there till dawn really, you know, because we were yeah,
it's sort of just well, you guys at that point, still like newspapers
were the source of news. They were essentially. I mean I don't think
we had much of an online presence at all. I mean maybe it was
like we should also have like a website thing is, but no, we
had to basically rebuild the whole paper from scratch. I remember like the search
trying to find the survivors being like major news. You know, maybe that
was a front page of the Yaddy Away with the herald son of like a
guy being rescued, like he had like like dust all over him. He
looked like a zombie. Oh absolutely, yeah. Yeah. I mean for
the next week to a fortnight, I mean that was all we covered,
and it got to the point, w ee, everyone realized there's no more
survivors. Yeah, who makes that call? He's just like it's done.
That's a hard quarter mate. It's yeah, it's pretty tough. So yeah,
this was it was a it's a tough time. David Mott. Final
question, whether it be someone from the army charity or other, have you
ever had someone be really pushy while you were out shopping? You we if
we just talked about sometimes they are really really pushy. But I always just
say I've ever shipped myself or the kids a shit themselves I'm glad no one
questions it. I'm kind of going to see the people are goin to shit
myself. What are you gonna do about it? Yeah? I tend to
be a little more well. I tend not to say I shut myself,
but I'll not today, mate, Sorry, and then move on. But
then at oh, that's the people that came to the front door to come
in and change your shower head the other day. So about two years ago,
right, I don't know what this scheme is. Apparently it's a government
scheme. And this guy at the front door comes to dawn and is like,
are we here to replace your shower heads but more water efficient head?
And I was like, Nichola, do you know about this? She was
like maybe, yeah, it's the thing I had it done one so yeah,
he came in and changed your head and it was fine. But it's
like whatever, right, And like about a month ago, maybe even last
maybe go two weeks ago, this woman was at the door and she was
like knocking and I'm in here editing. I'm just like, I'm the NaN's
in the door. Whatever. If it's a parcel just leaving at the door,
then knock, knock, knock, and no. Shit. Like three
minutes goes by and she's not no. A knock and I'm like, what
is this. I great there. She was like, I'm here to change
your shower head. I was like no, no, no, no thanks.
She was like no, no, it's been two years man to change
it. I'm like, no, it's fine, it still works. And
she's like it's free. I'm like, I don't care. Sure, I'm
in a work meetings. She's like, okay, when's the work meeting finished.
I'm like I don't know. I'm like I just I don't want to
thank you. She was like, I'll come back at four thirty. I'm
like, no, don't no thanks, but thanks anyone. No, And
I close the door right and then I go to pick up the kids from
daycare. Come back and they're at the front door. This time she's with
a guy and then and I'm just like he's like, we're here to change
the shower head. And I was like, no, no, my wife
and I don't want it. It's fine. He's like, I know,
it's for free. I was like, well, I don't want it though,
and she was like, well, you said come back, and I
did not say come back. And forth. Thirty were coming back and forth.
Third I said I don't want you to come back. At four thirds,
I was getting like pushed. I told you I didn't want to.
He goes, well, so can we just come in and take a photo
of the one you come I'm like, no, you're not coming in my
house. He goes, we just need one photo. I'm like, you're
not coming in my house. Get off my fucking driveway right now. And
they got into like a Yondo Excel and to drive away, and I'm like,
who are these people? I have no idea. That's so weird.
It was fucking when he was just like, can I just come in and
take a photo of your shower? I'm like, get the fuck off my
driveway now before I do actually call the police. And the kids like in
the car going who's that daddy? Who is that? Like honestly, like
five minutes old, I'm trying to push it. I was like, you
had back the fuck off now or I actually will call the police. And
I was straight into like this honestly guy like hereon Excel and they drove off
in the corner and I'm like, were they actually people? Like? This
is the thing with even in a society now where, like you said,
you've had that done before in the past. If someone came to your front
door with a box in their hand, in the clipboard and then like a
little emblem on the show, you just assume it's the same people. How
am I supposed to know that they could be fucking people just coming into my
house to scope out the joint exactly right. I was like, basically when
he's like, I'm just coming in, He's like, you started walking towards
the door. You are not coming in my house. I was like that
that was like an excellent for me. Absolutely, yeah, Oh my god,
that's terrible. Yeah, I know. I was just have you ever
had these people come to your house and change the shower head? Say no,
I think I did it ages ago, and after this I'm not doing
it. No, thank you. But you were going to say if someone
was being pushy, you never say you shit yourself. You just no,
no, I mean, I don't want this to sound and you don't want
to see them later on in the day, and you're like the guy himself,
Yeah, there's your ass. I don't want to stand anyway misodgymanistic.
But I've had more than one instance when it's been a younger woman. Yeah,
and you're you're not swimming to me. No, no, And they
will tend to have the thing that's like this guy's gonna want to talk to
me, and I've been like, I really don't. I mean, I've
just the I know, I know what you're up, I know what you're
up to you it's I know what you're trying to sell or trying to push
on me. I'm really not interested. But look, have a great day.
I try it is. That's not a great job. That's me.
When like the strippers approched me at the strip club, I'm like, I
know what you're trying to do. I know you've owned a buck, but
I'm not your Patsy. Go to that. See that guy go to him?
Hey come on here. Yeah he was pointing at me when he did
that. Exactly right. Okay, Well that is our review of Gee I'd
annoyed, grunting, and thank god we are through that one. Hope you
guys, I hope you guys enjoyed us reviewing it, because I don't know.
This is one of those episodes where I high recommend he never gone back
and revisiting ever, I will never revisit this episode ever in my life,
nor will I No, not at all. The next episode, though,
is cold Moan and Alisa, so mo and a Lisa, So maybe maybe
a Moan a Lisa story could be. I wouldn't put it past the obvious,
the very subtle skills of the Simpsons writers at the stage. I don't
mind the mo episode, so we shall see. Yes, we're not gonna
automatically prejudge it. Yes, if you haven't checked out my episode of this
actually this week at elliot Joy O'Neil on you said hello to him. Indeed,
as I was leaving the other day we talked about the most gruesome debts
and Treehouse of Horror. Will AfOR do a Simpsons Halloween version of that?
Maybe next week the week after we'll pick a topic. Yes, yes we
can't, all right, but yeah, make sure you check it. You've
got two episodes of four Finger Discat in your ears every single week. Now.
If you're enjoying everything we do here at four Finger Discat and you have
not yet joined the family on page, we'd really appreciate you do so,
even for a little It's just two dollary dues you can do it for a
single dollar do if you want to, but two dollar dues per month really
helps us grow this network and helps keep the lights on. If you do
it for two dollar dues, that's one for dandel one for me, exactly
right. And actually no, it'll probably be like sixty cents for me,
a dollar forty. It's not even that. It's we have like a sixty
forty split, now do it? Yes, well that sounds fair, which
isn't too bad considering that you do everything the work for sixty percent of the
money. But this show will not be around without you, mister Davis,
of course. But but yeah, so if you could spoise on Patroon,
that would be fantastic. When you get access to tales of you, Jerama,
speaking of the Hill, talking Seinfeld and hemmy reviews, access to a
Facebook group, and so much more. But next episode is going to be
mo in Lisa. This has been g I dope, mister Davis. Any
