00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:05.240
Dana. One thing still bugging me? Why didn't you ever come back to

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:09.439
pick me up? I kept putting
it off, and then I was just

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.720
too embarrassed. Sorry, I never
called him. I was too busy with

4
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:24.280
my fifteen Native wives. Fifteen that
sounds like a lot of sex, I

5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:53.920
said, wives, not girlfriends.
Four Finger Discounted. Welcome to Fourfinger Discount,

6
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.119
the podcast where we certainly do not
have an annual tradition to commit suicide

7
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.399
at Christmas time. This week we
hit the review episode jb F zero one.

8
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.959
It is Simpson's Christmas Stories. I
am Dando and I am Guy and

9
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.239
speak for yourself, Dan, No, No, that's not true. Life

10
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.239
is worth living, especially when you've
got a really good episode of The Simpsons

11
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:17.799
to talk about. Because I enjoyed
this immensely. This was a very very

12
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.400
very early Christmas gift in April.
I was so surprised because I went into

13
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.239
this going it's another one of those
trilogies where they just take off old stories

14
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:26.280
that no one gives a shit about. I mean that not only gives a

15
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.480
shit about Jesus. That's I didn't
know what stories are going to be,

16
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:30.599
but I thought they're gonna be you
know how we had those stories where it's

17
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.439
though on that train with the with
the hobo and it was always oldest Oh

18
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.439
my, no one cares about that, the non cannon or whatever. But

19
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.560
this just felt to me like a
Simpsons Christmas variety hour. You had a

20
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.599
good mix of everything. You had
the retelling of of the Jesus Birth,

21
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:51.920
you had the random like you original
story with Santa and Burns and grand but

22
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.040
then you just had like to take
on the Nutcracker at the end like a

23
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.159
little musical. It was such a
good blend of just variety. I thought

24
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.000
it was really fun. I was
really impressed with this episod. I was

25
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.200
really surprised by this episode because I
think I went in exactly the same way

26
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.400
as you, thinking yawn. I
think that was the word that was bringing

27
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.719
my life. I'm gonna have to
treasure there is and it's going to be,

28
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.080
you know, really run of the
mill Christmas Eve kind of stuff.

29
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:21.080
But no, they showed a fair
bit of imagination, a fair bit of

30
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.719
ingenuity. Yeah, everyone seemed to
get folded in in really interesting ways.

31
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.439
Yeah. I know, I had
a really good time with this one,

32
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.080
so I didn't realize each segrement also
had its own title. So the first

33
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.479
one was the First Doel, the
second was I Saw Grandpa cussing Sandy Clause,

34
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:44.039
and the third one was the Nutcracker
Sweet as opposed to sweet, which

35
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.560
comes across more like a South part
title of he asked me. But yeah,

36
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.800
I just enjoyed the really, like
you said, original, It was

37
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.120
not that its went and got right, here's the tale. Let's just replace

38
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.439
the carriages with Simpsons, with Simpson's
characters. No, like this, they

39
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.000
had the original story in the middle
of the end was it was a take

40
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.719
on the Nutcracker, but it was
also Simpson. I the point where it

41
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.319
was like very What I liked about
the most of it, because the final

42
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.319
sevement was my favorite. Where I
like the most about that was it just

43
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.360
really captured Christmas, even Springfield,
and I really like that. I get

44
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.680
where you're coming from, certainly because
well everyone knows that Dando and the Christmas

45
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.520
season go hand in hand, frolicking
down the lane. I haven't named my

46
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:25.479
daughter Holly. Was that the reason
for Christmas? It wasn't. We just

47
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.520
liked the name Holy. Yeah,
just like a lovely name, and he's

48
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.800
a lovely little girl, so they
fit together nicely. I'm very impressed with

49
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.000
what you said about like a variety
hour, because that's what it felt like

50
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.680
that in a good way. I
mean shows like say The Brady Bunch,

51
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.520
or things that had like a cast
of your frenzy like you, I'd like

52
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.479
to hang out with all the family
that's better than yours that you like to

53
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.879
watch on TV would do things like
that. I feel like seventies TV Special,

54
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.719
didn't it. That's yeah, that's
exactly what I mean by that,

55
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:04.039
And especially with the first segment,
the whole retelling of the Birth of Jesus,

56
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.840
That's exactly what it felt like to
me. And I love the way

57
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:15.400
how they sort of they really seamlessly
and cleverly folded in all your favorite characters

58
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.079
and in ways that made sense as
well. Yeah, I mean, whether

59
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:24.879
it's Burns being King Herod or Chief
Wigham being sort of the head of the

60
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:29.800
Roman soldiers who were doing his dirty
work, everything seemed to work quite nicely.

61
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.639
And no, it's just very very
It gave me a warm little blow.

62
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.759
My favorite segment, however, was
the middle one. I enjoyed that

63
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.360
a lot. That was also very
I just like the fact that it was

64
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.639
an original story now part of the
Aller. Jean says that he wishes at

65
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.279
the end of that segment they didn't
have the bit with Santa fe back into

66
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.959
the real world like and present day. He would just ended with the with

67
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.040
the watch because it would have been
more sentimental. But yeah, the end

68
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.560
of that was one of my favorite
moments. I'd love the wives bit that

69
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.399
I just thought, just your classic
you know, you know there must be

70
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:06.240
a lot of sex, I said, wives, not girlfriends. We did

71
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.680
an episode of Speaking of the Hill
recently where Hank and the guy in the

72
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.000
music shot we're talking about making jokes
about the wife. I never do it,

73
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.519
but it's just, you know,
it's just your classic husband gag,

74
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:20.399
the whole ball and changing. I
can't recall ever having done it him.

75
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:25.120
No neither, no no reason too. We have no reason to do.

76
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.800
We We have lovely ladies at home. I think we're just SAPs. We

77
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.759
are. But thank you all guys
for chutting to the show this week.

78
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.079
I've got I've got a task for
your wall if you're listening to this on

Yeah? What yeah, no,
but we would very much appreciate it.

89
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.560
It would, as we say,
help keep the lights on here at four

90
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.279
finger discount, h not even kid
the lights on. It might allow us

91
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:20.720
to buy flashier, brighter light bulbs. Indeed. Yeah. And plus no,

92
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.240
when we're trying to get our new
sponsors or new guests, we can

93
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.360
say, look, five hundred people
thought we were worth five stars. Hey,

94
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.959
my favorite. But what were your
favorite moments from from Simpsons Christmas Stories?

95
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:38.279
Mister Davis, Well, if we're
talking about the first segment, now,

96
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.920
forgive me, I'm the first duel. First of all. Yes,

97
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.839
I'm trying to get my memory sharpened. Yes, I'm pretty sure that you

98
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.759
remember the first segment. Say it
probably they please the first all right?

99
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:57.879
I was initially like because there was
a pretty dopey slash lazy gag about I'm

100
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.639
trying to watch the Orange Bowl and
he's watching the Bowl of Oranges. I'm

101
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.199
like, that's not that great.
Then almost immediately after that, Homer realizes

102
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.959
that baby Jesus slash Bart is into
a bit of the old physical comedy,

103
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.920
and we go into a bit of
a three Stooges riff, and I just

104
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.040
laughed a hell of a lot more
than maybe I should have had. Oh

105
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.720
wise man ee. And then they
go to the Stooges sort of antics,

106
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.839
which I thought was great. I
just like, oh wise man eye.

107
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:32.839
But not too long after that,
they're talking about well people use it as

108
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:38.360
a an exclamation or not, maybe
not a curse. But you know,

109
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.399
when you're something you're first about Jesus, Mary and Joseph to fold it into

110
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.079
the line of like, Jesus,
Mary and Joseph, what a great family

111
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.759
unit. I just liked it.
It felt great. It felt like just

112
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.879
a you could you could feel the
good will in the writer's room. When

113
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.000
that, when that was sort of
jotted down, I was like, you

114
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.360
did well there, Yeah, yeah, it didn't feel forced. It all

115
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.639
organic. Yeah. Yeah. Now
I'm trying to think what I am enjoyed

116
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.360
in the next one. I'm sorry, I saw Santa cussing. I saw

117
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.480
clause I think I mean it is
I saw grabbed by cussing Santa Claus is

118
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.399
what it's called me. Yes,
Listeners of our various programs will know that

119
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:24.240
one thing that brings joy to Guy's
cold black heart, that makes it increase

120
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.600
three sizes, and not just via
cholesterol, is fight his vice. Love.

121
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.120
It can't get enough of hearing fight
his vis and just about any context

122
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.360
that's that's great. So when when
Grandpa's brother Cyrus, who you know we

123
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.519
have not heard from and we will
never hear from again after this story,

124
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.399
Cannon, just when he popped up
and his like time to go fat in

125
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.120
the Pacific, Yeah, just give
me a little bit more that that's great.

126
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.039
Um. Yeah, so I enjoy
that very much. And um,

127
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.480
I don't know, I guess we
can blow the ending. I'm sure that

128
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.320
anyone who watched who's listening to this
podcast will have watched this episode, but

129
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.399
just the very listen to this podcast
and you don't, and you aren't aware

130
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:11.639
that we spoiled the episodes. By
this point you might want to rethink your

131
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.279
priority. Yeah, but just the
very end of the what was it?

132
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.960
Sorry? The nutcaker of the nutwork
is sweet. Yes, um, I

133
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.519
think both you and I in recent
episodes when we're talking about season seventeen and

134
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.799
maybe a little earlier of The Simpsons, like, oh, it's such a

135
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.399
dick, You're always getting it wrong. You don't deserve Marge all this kind

136
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.879
of stuff. And when it comes
to the very end where oh my,

137
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.120
I haven't got Marge to Christmas present, and he sort of runs around.

138
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.279
He now, he's doing his best. He's a fine one for yeah,

139
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.879
but it's just not working out,
and he finally has to come home a

140
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:50.000
bit ashamed. Luckily, Marge knows
her husband well enough that he probably would

141
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.080
forget to get her a present,
so his so Marge's gift to Homer is

142
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.600
a gift for Homer to gift to
Marge. And just the picture of it,

143
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.480
you know, the picture in the
box of Homer in a Santa Claus

144
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.120
outfit and Marre just looking stoked to
be sitting on his laps like this is

145
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.799
apex Homer and Marges. You know, this is how the relationship should be.

146
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.840
It's how any relationship should be.
Everyone should have. You know,

147
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.080
if you've got someone in your life, hopefully you've got a photo of the

148
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.960
two of you where you look at
you're looking at and go, oh,

149
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.240
yeah, that's that's us. That's
that's how we should be. And I

150
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.840
don't know. I just I had
a smile on face and I won't denied

151
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.480
a slight tear in my eye.
Yes, I hundred percent agree. And

152
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.080
it was It was interesting because normally, if Homer forgets a present for Marge,

153
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.279
right, we'd be like, oh, what a shitty husband. But

154
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.200
the difference here was I feel like
in other episodes he would have just gone,

155
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.240
oh, well next time, but
he was. He was ashamed.

156
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.399
He raced out, he tried to
find the present, and when he got

157
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.000
home he was embarrassed and he thought, oh god, I can't believe I've

158
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.240
done this to her. And then
she gives him the present and it's just

159
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.039
like it was just so wholesome,
and it's like, ah, I know

160
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.440
there will be some attractors out and
say, oh, he was a shit

161
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.240
husband for getting in the first place. The way it all played out,

162
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.559
I really liked it. I think
the message you take away from it is

163
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.440
you'd be fortunate if you if you
have a partner who knows you better than

164
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.000
you know yourself. Yes, yes, they're a good team, and it's

165
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.679
like, oh, yeah, they
are a good team. I wish we

166
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.399
had more good team margin Homer,
but not the Homer that we've been getting.

167
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.240
It goes to show they can still
do it. So why are you

168
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.519
doing this? But what did you
enjoy? What were your favorite? Just

169
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.720
one more thing that that final segment, the Nutcracker segment that felt like Golden

170
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.919
ear a Simpsons Don't You Reckon?
I honestly felt it felt like every gag

171
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.799
worked, everyone was there for a
reason. It was just it was the

172
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.039
best of season seventeen so far.
I reckon this this episode. I would

173
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.480
have to agree with you on that. I mean, like I said,

174
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.399
your favorite segment was the last one. My favorite was the second one.

175
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.759
But the second one also felt I
mean, and so did the first one.

176
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.480
It really felt like this wouldn't be
out of place in season eight nine

177
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.720
ten. Yeah, it really,
but I enjoyed so that no one will

178
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.639
ever speak or right of this.
Again, that's like it's the obvious gag,

179
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.240
But sometimes the obvious gags are the
ones that worked the best. Cirrus

180
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.360
with his wives at the end,
I said, wives, not girlfriends,

181
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.720
and I really enjoyed for I know
you don't like really, but I loved

182
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.559
the dream sequence where you know,
he's carving a turkey with the family pans

183
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.000
out. He's actually asleep in his
shack pans out. He isn't drunken together.

184
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.879
That was okay, that's good use
of Willie. Yeah, and they're

185
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.519
so frequent, you know, often
there's bad use of Willie, usually in

186
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:39.519
my place. Anymore brain busters?
All right, it's time for the blockbuster

187
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.519
brainbuster, mister Davis. Okay,
original this episode was December eighteenth, two

188
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.799
thousand and five. What do you
think so number one? I believe I've

189
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.080
already had mentioned this last week Number
one King Kong that was on the top

190
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.360
three last week. Chronicles Narnia is
still in number two, number three,

191
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.639
that was a new one. And
the clue for you is Keaton. Keaton

192
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.360
at the end of two thousand and
five. Okay, then I'm trying to

193
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:09.120
Yeah, I'm casting my mind back
to two thousand and five. And naturally,

194
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.399
if we're thinking of Keaton, we
tend to think of Michael Keaton,

195
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.639
don't we Yes, But I don't
think I don't think he had anything high

196
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.440
profile out around this time, So
we must go to another Keaton, the

197
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.399
second most famed Keating, although who
opinion is very unless something to do with

198
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.440
Diane Keaton. I'm sure now I
was thinking, is it? I was

199
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.320
trying to think when did the romantic
comedy Something's Got to Give come out with

200
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.440
her and Jack Nicholson. I'm not
too sure that I think it might have

201
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:43.159
been before two thousand and five.
But what's what's what I'm thinking of?

202
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.879
That has Um that he won the
Oscar for that's as good as it's get.

203
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:46.720
That's because they gets. That's what
I'm thinking of. Yeah, and

204
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.240
that was Nactually that was like ninety
seven on ninety eight or something. Um.

205
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.840
Also it also started Sarah Jessica Parker. I think I know what you're

206
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.000
talking about. I think I know
what you're talking about. This is one

207
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.720
of those movies that's been reclaimed recently. As you know, you tend to

208
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.600
do when you're twenty years down the
line, you know what's really good that

209
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.720
movie, and people who were there
at the time go, it's not not

210
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:16.240
that good and you were four when
it came out, or you know.

211
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.159
In this case, I think imagine, I imagine that a few people were

212
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:24.279
like teenagers or something like that and
going, oh, well, it's a

213
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.240
it's a startlish, grown up romantic
comedy, and I can really relate to

214
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.120
this character. This movie is called
The Family Stone. It is indeed,

215
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.159
yes, am I right? You
are? Indeed, so you don't recognize

216
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.600
that good I remember seeing it and
hating it. Hating it. Yeah,

217
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.519
I think it's meant to be a
kind of not anti romantic comedy. But

218
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.559
it's like all these characters are complicated
and flawed, and it's like, now

219
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.559
these characters are annoying. Okay,
I don't like being around any of them.

220
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.639
But it is one of those movies
where occasionally you'll see people on Twitter

221
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.320
or social media going Christmas time,
Time for the Family Stone. It's like,

222
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.720
well, no, it's time for
a lump of and you're stocking.

223
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.600
What's a good movie? Like Elf? Next question? You there eating the

224
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.679
Beast? Yep, mister Davis,
that's right. That is the trivia intro,

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.720
in a week or two and a
couple of weeks, so listen out for

243
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.879
Also, I hope you guys enjoyed
our chat with one Jeff Loveness last week.

244
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:11.080
How fun was that, mister Davis. That was pretty red in Ye

245
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.159
I knew bff Jeff Loveness. Loveness
love more and something we should say.

246
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.320
Yeah, that was great chat.
We was so so thrilled to get the

247
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.000
screenwriter of ant Man and the Wasp, Colon Quantumnia and the upcoming Avengers King

248
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.279
Dynasty, just on the line for
about an hour or so talking about his

249
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.000
creative process, his inspirations, his
love of The Simpsons, and well all

250
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.679
the episode Bark gets hit by a
car. We died pretty deep into it

251
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.960
and mind a few diamonds and gold
nuggets, I reckon. Yeah, what's

252
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.360
interesting about that if you haven't listened
to the interview yet, was that that

253
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.080
was the first episode of The Simpsons
that he ever saw, and he didn't

254
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:49.759
realize that untill he started watching it
for the review because he picked it it

255
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.240
was either it was either Bark gets
hit by a car or a fish caught

256
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.000
Salmons I actually preferred to an older
one. And then he told us the

257
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.519
interview, Oh wait, it was
the first that that was the connection you

258
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.559
had with that episode was the first
one ever saw. Plus it's the first

259
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.360
appearance from Phil Hartman, so that
was really great as well. And we're

260
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.559
sort of tossing up do we pring
up Jonathan Majors? Nn, let's not's

261
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.559
bring up Jonathan Majors. It sounds
like everyone else was bringing up Jonathan Majors

262
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:15.599
because that man is getting dropped like
like a bad habit. Yes, it's

263
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.359
indeed, um head. His career
is definitely going to become one of Troy

264
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:23.440
McClure. He just needs, you
know, in twenty years time to do

265
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.000
a remaker Planet of the Apes and
live musical. It'll be funny if you're

266
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.680
back maybe, but I'm Jonathan Major
that you might remember me such movies as

267
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:37.359
Greed three and Quantuminia. But the

gonna have to spend Christmas Eve with raccoons

282
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.599
in the dumpster. Wouldn't be so
bad. That makes let look kind of

283
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.640
cozy, then that little ugly sweaters. I know, like this is adorable,

284
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.440
hanging stuff off the off the line. Yeah, it's nice. This

285
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.640
was a nice episode. It was
indeed, Yeah, I really captured the

286
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.279
Christmas Because we've had a couple of
Christmas episodes in the last few seasons.

287
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.000
I felt like this one truly captured
the Christmas vibe, didn't it? What

288
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.839
you? Yeah, I mean,
what's the aspirational Christmas? Zybe? I

289
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.799
mean, of course we're you know, damn under here in Australia, we

290
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.799
have warm Christmas. I think growing
up, you know, popular cultures to

291
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.720
teach you you know what's nice from
Christmas? Cuddling up warm sweater's, a

292
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.799
chest that's roasting on an open fire, all that kind of stuff, And

293
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.720
I don't know, this gave you
that warm and cuddly vibe. Well,

294
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.920
it really, like you were saying
earlier about the seventies variety shows, it

295
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:15.200
felt like the kind of show you
would have sat down with the family in

296
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:21.960
nineteen seventy seven and watched this,
you know, season's Christmas special and just

297
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.200
for a little time, just for
a half an hour or so, you

298
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.759
can stop being at each other's throats
exactly. Yeah, yeah, just enjoy

299
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.839
the Christmas feeling together? All right, what's your first question for me?

300
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:41.960
When the Roman soldiers are charging in
on the major What gospel is being written?

301
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.279
Who was writing a gospel at that
stage? Ah? Was it Michael?

302
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.680
It was Matthew, Matthew Matthew.
See, I'm not a religious person.

303
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.680
I just I've never read I'm assuming
you've read the Bible. I've never

304
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.079
read the Bible, not from cover
to cover. No, some people read

305
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.839
it all the time. They can
just quote pages. I'm just like,

306
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.720
hey, that's what you want to
do, go for a I just I've

307
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.039
never done it. Yeah, I've
always I've always thought that I am an

308
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.279
idiot for not doing I've always thought
of thought, surely everyone, at some

309
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:15.599
point, every mature adult has at
least flipped through the Bible. No,

310
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.400
I'm not. I'm not laughing.
It's got I would just love that.

311
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.599
Yeah, I don't know anyone who's
read the laugh. Yeah. I know.

312
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.160
You were raised quite religiously, though, aren't you. Oh No,

313
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.440
not really. We went to church
every Sunday. But I mean it's not

314
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.000
like we were saying grace at every
meal or anything like that. It was

315
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:34.440
just like it's Sunday, We're going
to church. Otherwise we're going to hell.

316
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:40.079
Yeah, okay. My first question
is what was the type of battery

317
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:45.319
in them? In a special that
was the Energizer Ultra It was indeed,

318
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.960
yes, oh so cold. What's
your next one? You may have been

319
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.680
watching with the subtitles on this all
you have to be in a ficionado of

320
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.359
nineties, not in thirties big band
music. But what is the tune that

321
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:03.480
plays when Saris opens his watch.
That's a American tale, Five of the

322
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:11.000
that's five of the Jewish Mouse.
No, that's it's actually American patrol patrol

323
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.519
and it was it was American something. It was American woman. Yes,

324
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.720
who was who was it by Glenn
Miller? Glenn Miller? That's right.

325
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:27.559
Yes. My next question is which
to reindeer go missing? Is it Donna

326
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:32.279
in Blitzen? No, well he
I think he yells those ones at the

327
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:36.119
start, but it's the one that's
a star. And yeah, when I

328
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.039
was looking through my notes before we
were doing this, I'm like, there

329
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.680
were the other two reindeer, and
one of them is Rudolph I never much,

330
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:44.720
and I've forgotten the other one.
It's not Donna a Blitzen because that's

331
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:52.480
what we just mentioned, not comment
Prancer. Of course, Prance is gonna

332
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:59.359
go missing that guy's flighty. What
is the name of Burns's gal back home,

333
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.359
Adette? That is Bernardette. Yeah. I thought that segment just worked

334
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.960
in a sense that it almost like
it was just a callback to you know,

335
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.079
the Healthish episode, wasn't it?
Burn Yeah? Yeah, I really

336
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.680
like that. My next question for
you is what was on the tie that

337
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.119
Bart was going to buy for Homer
one of your questions. You're looking at

338
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.680
your smiling bets. It's wide load. Yeah, I like that. Yeah,

339
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.839
we have one more in each in
I've got one more, pretty easy

340
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:27.279
one. But you know, do
you have any more? Fore before?

341
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.079
I got one more for me.
If you want me, let me throw

342
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:36.960
it at you. And it's actually
that who was throwing snowballs at at Krusty's

343
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.720
crotch? Oh shit, I just
assumed it was kids in the audience.

344
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:45.079
Who was it? It was Martin
Luther King Junior and astronaut John Glenn,

345
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.119
so they laugh. Were they throwing
the snowballs or were they just guests?

346
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.240
I thought that I was just guests. I thought that was ah okay.

347
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:59.000
Well, as they say on game
shows what Wow, I failed completely But

348
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.640
anyway, but really maybe maybe they
were. Maybe I'm wrong, because that

349
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:07.119
would be hilarious if the other one
there's a shipload of snowballs. It wasn't

350
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.440
deep And yeah, I wouldn't put
it past one of the great civil rights

351
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.039
leaders at our time and you know, one of the pioneering astronauts. But

352
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.200
maybe not. And my final question
is what does it say on Mo's little

353
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.319
chest plate? He writes a note
tag? Is it? I was about

354
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:23.799
to say no organs for you,
but I think it's no one gets my

355
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:29.279
organs. Yes, so, wasn't
it. There's no reason to live but

356
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.480
reasonly but no one gets his organs
though, So look, it runs a

357
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:40.519
very close second beyond the all time
you know um of of Mo's suicide notes.

358
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:44.480
No funeral, no funerals. That's
the greatest, isn't it. That's

359
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:49.440
such, that's that's just a meme
before memes were even a thing. Just

360
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:57.920
the other no funeral, brilliant.
That's always pique moly Because I'm like,

361
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.680
I'm usually down on like, you
know, gags about committing suicide things like

362
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:06.640
that, but sometimes I just work
they really do. And I mean,

363
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:11.880
this is a. This reminded me
of an earlier time, a time when

364
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:17.920
I'm gonna t I'm gonna phrase this
incorrectly or inelegantly, but when people were

365
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.720
less hung up on suicide or there
were more gags about it. But essentially

366
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:26.319
those gags always had the resolution like
life, life is actually worth living.

367
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.200
Yeah, you know, they sort
of made fun of or made line of

368
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.440
the factor like most we'll just you
know, have a noose or walk into

369
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.000
traffic or something like that. People
still say it, but sometimes some people

370
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.920
say it now he's just like my
lettle life of that. Yeah, here

371
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.839
sort of doomers all the times ago
kill me, I want to do well.

372
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:47.920
We we had, we had the
show just shoot Me. I think,

373
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.319
as we mentioned where we discussed it
in the past, Yeah, precisely.

374
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.279
I mean, yeah, this was
a prime time sitcomy. You would

375
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.759
just he was so fed up with
your life. He wanted to someone to

376
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:57.079
just shoot you. But but what
was your point going to be? Don't

377
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.599
tuck your point? Did you get
you? Did you get you? Oh

378
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.559
no, no, I think I
got it out that the not very well.

379
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:11.960
Clearly, the resolution of such gags
was always oh no, no,

380
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.720
no, Life's actually worth living.
What I liked about this too was that

381
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:21.119
Christmas isn't necessarily always a happy time
for everybody, you know, so there

382
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:25.480
is the element of people who feel
alone and sad and down during the holidays

383
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.400
when they set everybody else so happy
and with their families. So it made

384
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.319
sense to include that as well,
you know, like, yeah, it

385
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.759
was morbid, but it's also what
happens at Christmas time. Unfortunately, they're

386
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.880
right, but there is a segment
of the people of the community out there

387
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.160
that don't like Christmas for those reasons. To those folks, we say,

388
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.559
give it a week or so,
the whole New year is going to kick

389
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.359
in, hit that reset button and
subscribe to four Finger Discount. You'll be

390
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:52.039
fine. Well ye oh yeah,
that's implied. Interestingly, this is the

391
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.319
three hundred and sixty fifth episode of
The Simpsons, right, which means that

392
00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:00.359
now you have an episode of four
Finger Discount for every single day the year,

393
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.000
so you can listen to an entire
year's worth, one per day.

394
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:04.039
I mean, we've got other episodes
when we skipped forward and things like that,

395
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.039
but if you if you go in
chronological order, we've got from if

396
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.480
you start on day one, Simpsons
Christmas Special, you know all the way

397
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.960
through. It's not funny. It
starts with the Simpsons Christmas Special and end

398
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.960
at the end of the year with
the Simpsons Christmas Stories. You'd think they'd

399
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.200
have that in mind. It's almost
like it was planned. Yeah, it's

400
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.039
odd had that happened, But I
thought it was quite an interesting anyway.

401
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:29.759
Yeah, listeners, you've now got
a whole year four fingered Discount put it

402
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.240
near ears. Do you love Bob's
Burgers? Of course you do. Who

403
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.359
doesn't. Well, what if I
was to tell you that if you supported

404
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:40.799
your Pal's Guy and Dando for just
a dollar a month, you could help

405
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.880

podcast. Yes, we've set ourselves the

406
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.039
goal of launching the new show once
we hit a thousand supporters, and we're

407
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:49.960
currently sitting at three hundred and fifty, so you know, there's still a

408
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.119
way to go. But if you've
enjoyed the thousand plus hours of concept we've

409
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.359
chucked out over the last eight years, you can show your support by joining

410
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.400
the four finger Discount family today and
actually make a reality. So go ahead,

411
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.799
help us reach our goal and finally
launched that Bob's Burgers Podcast by going

412
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.200

413
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:15.680
right now, so use it.
All right, mister Davis, Let's get

414
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.519
into a review of Simpson's Christmas Stories. The original air date was December eighteenth,

415
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.640
two thousand and five. It was
written by Don Payne and Don Payne

416
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.039
I believe was nominated for an Emmy
for this, but he lost to the

417
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.799
Italian Bob. Another fun episode of
The Simpsons had a couple of games back

418
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.480
to back. They're on the way
up season seventeen. They're on an upswing

419
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.559
the Yeah, they've found a little
updraft and there, and they're taking advantage

420
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.559
of it. If I had to
choose, if I was on the Emmy

421
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.559
voting, committeds one this one.
Yeah, precisely. This one has far

422
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.160
more rewatch value than I feel the
last one. This one I feel like

423
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.640
you can put on. I would
watch this happily at Christmas time. Now,

424
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:55.720
this is one I've forgotten Christmas episode
for me. Yeah, I think

425
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.440
everyone's got their little grab bag of
Christmas entertainment. Yes, Christmas go to

426
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.079
that you have to watch every year
because it just makes you feel all warm

427
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.200
and fuzzy inside. Yeah, I
would happily put this on the bench.

428
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.039
Ye, it felt like that variety
of that. I like to watch a

429
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.599
Christmas time. It's funny, what
what is? What is it for you?

430
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.119
For me? And I've watched it
every year without fail since I was

431
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.960
a kid. I've sw at the
VHS tape. It's just that the tape,

432
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.480
it's silly and he goes for about
thirty five minutes or so, but

433
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.559
it's the Hannah Barbara Christmas sing Along
video. But it's just evide. It

434
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.880
turns on it's Hannah Barbara. It's
Hannah and Barbara. What are their names?

435
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.880
I can't what their actual names are, like something, Hey, Hannah

436
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.519
Barbara, Hannah and Hannah Barbara.
That's exactly right, yes, But they're

437
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.640
sitting there kind of like Trey Parker
and Matt Stone in the in the South

438
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.079
Park Introy videos. It's like kids, hey, going but they buy the

439
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.799
Christmas tree, like welcome to the
Hannah Barbara Christmas Special and it's just it's

440
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.640
so wholesome. But you can now
find it on YouTube, so I was

441
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.240
watching it via YouTube these days,
but I'm still at the VHS tape.

442
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:56.920
But that that's my go to every
year I have to watch that. Do

443
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.319
you have like a go to every
year that you have to watch? There

444
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:06.400
were there were a few I actually
got, well, not Christmas Christmas,

445
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:10.480
but last Christmas. I did a
back to back of your die Hard.

446
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:12.039
But it had been a while since
I watched die Hard. I felt it

447
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.720
was going to be die Hard.
Well yeah, I mean, but I'm

448
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:19.000
well, I think we've almost reached
that event a horizon where you know,

449
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:22.839
for a while it was like,
oh, die Hard's your favorite Christmas movie?

450
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.440
Here, Edgy good one, and
now we've sort of gone even beyond

451
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.720
that where if you say that,
people go, no, it's Christmas.

452
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.519
So I watched that and yeah,
of course it's die Out. It's for

453
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.680
life, it's not just for Christmas. But then I double featured that with

454
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.680
The First Lethal Weapon, which is
also a Christmas movie. I was like,

455
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.319
this is great late eighties, you
know, gun play, people smoking

456
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:55.480
indoors. Yeah, so that was
great. But a regular that I have

457
00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:00.680
is a UK telemovie called Bernard and
the Genie. Okay, I think it

458
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.720
was written by Richard Curtis, you
know, the King of UK rom coms,

459
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:10.200
the Man behind Four Weddings, in
a funeral does yeah said he does

460
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:15.559
not in Hill Yeah Yeah, yeah
yeah, And it stars Alan Cumming as

461
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:22.240
a young man named Bernard who works
as like a a personal assistant to this

462
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.000
rich tycoon played by Rowan Atkinson,
who's just an absolute prick and a total

463
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.319
scrooge of a dude who you know, takes pleasure in. It's very much

464
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.920
a Burns and Smithers kind of relationship. And Bernard, you know, he's

465
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.599
a bit of a sad sack,
but he finds he finds this magic lamp.

466
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.119
He gives it a rub and pops
his genie. Played by the great

467
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:45.759
stand up comedian and actor Lenny Henry
Um. He's been in the in the

468
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.519
in the Lamp for something like two
thousand years. He used to hang out

469
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.720
with Jesus back in the day.
And he's a bit of a character and

470
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:57.200
he makes life better for Bernard in
ways that are both fun and troublesome.

471
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:00.359
It's it's great and it's it's all
someone usually but I believe he can find

472
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.880
So it goes for about an hour
or so. It's very very funny and

473
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:08.000
it's very very sweet. It's a
Christmas special. It is indeed, Wow,

474
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.160
No No, it's it's Christmas Eve. Okay, I've never ever heard

475
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.799
of that. That sounds and it's
like an all star cast. It's really

476
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.759
great. Yeah. I think it's
early two thousands or late nineties. Okay,

477
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.640
yeah, I'm surprised. I've never
heard of that. I'm going to

478
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:23.240
be looking it up. You said
it's on YouTube, right, I believe

479
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:26.519
si. Let's you keep talking.
I'm just going to look on my phone

480
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:30.279
for a sure. Where were we
up to do? We even we'll talk

481
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.119
about Don Payne. Were just about
the start directed by Stephen Dean Moore as

482
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.680
well the couch gag. There's no
chalk Gate, but the couch gag was

483
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.160
out in the Springfield shopper comes up
and says, cotch gag thrills the nation.

484
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:41.480
I was surprised I didn't have a
Christmas couch gag. I think it

485
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.240
just would have made sense. True. Yeah, yeah, But anyway,

486
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.319
So the episode kicks off at the
church and it's a Christmas service and he

487
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.000
says, jeezus two thousand and five
years young and love. George's running late.

488
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.720
No one knows where he is home. He is jealous of the who

489
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:01.599
are the Episcopalians because compellions a.
Yeah, they've got a nice flaky Eucharist,

490
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:05.920
and yeah, mam would really love
to dip his hands into their fond

491
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:09.480
some nice saucy gags in this one, some rye ball You love your rye

492
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:14.039
baard gags, don't you? Yes, doesn't everyone indeed, So he calls

493
00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:15.640
up Flanders. He calls Flanders on
the phone. First you know, Christ

494
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.680
is born, who who's on the
horn? And then you realized that the

495
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.799
trash the train has crashed. He
loves his model trains. We ain't see

496
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:24.519
enough of love Joy's train models.
I don't reckon because it's like a it's

497
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.359
a passion of here is that I've
always got a kick out of. You

498
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:30.799
think they could just have it in
the background every one, so just you

499
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:32.440
know, just to refresh our memories
like this. Dude likes trains. Yeah,

500
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:36.720
and it's funny when people have things
like this. It's they it's they

501
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.160
get away, so you never bother
them when they're doing things like this.

502
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:42.920
But yes, the trains have crashed, so many ruined Christmases or whatever.

503
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.480
He says. Yeah, I don't
know if it's sorry little sidetracking. Yeah,

504
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:51.240
it's one of the funniest things I've
and sweetest things that I've seen.

505
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:54.279
Um, the singer Rod Stewart.
Don't make people know who Rod Steward is,

506
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:58.279
but you know if you grew up
in my areas, like Rod Steward's

507
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.319
that guy who likes to know bone
all those models. Yeah, I live

508
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.559
the high life and all that kind
of stuff. Then you're seeing them.

509
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.839
He's like, check out my model
train care. He's got this massive one

510
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.319
that he's spent like twenty years building. And you're like, he's this globetrotting

511
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:15.079
rock star who's head, you know, more sex than a hundred other people.

512
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.559
Combine with glamorous ladies and it's like, love, I'm just going to

513
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:23.519
go down to the Why am I
giving him a Cockney accent? He's Scottish.

514
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:27.119
You'd been doing a groundskeeper willing.
He's like, I'm going to go

515
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.920
down to the down to the cellar
and play with my trains at It sounds

516
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:35.000
like a great time to me.
Yeah, And people are so passionate about

517
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.279
too, because when I was mons
on morns of wild Man just to help

518
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.559
make ends meet when we first launched
out the four figure Descent network, Yeah

519
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:44.880
I am there was a guy who
subscribe, Yes, said a guy.

520
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:46.960
I had a train model thing in
the background, right in the back garage,

521
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:50.359
and I made the mistake of asking
him. He was like, you

522
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.000
want to see it? And I
was like, oh yeah, sure,

523
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:54.599
I should never have said that,
Honestly, guy, I just couldn't get

524
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:59.119
out of me. Hours later,
Holy shit, he's gone through all these

525
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.960
trains and I'm like, it's cool, but I'm like, I've got shit

526
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.880
to do. Bate, but like, it's just this old guy, and

527
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.440
you know, he really lived by
himself. I'm like, I'm going to

528
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:09.280
humor hi because he's clearly passionate about
this. He doesn't get to show it

529
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:13.119
off enough. Go for it,
mate, you know, and it made

530
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:17.239
his day. But that's that's very
nice of you, man. But he

531
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.360
he asked ned to do the service, and depically he's not going to make

532
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:23.559
it. So he feels like he
feels like he's born again again. And

533
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:28.599
he gets up papercut, faints the
blood and then we get I've got here.

534
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.360
Though. The only annoying thing was
this was like, it shows the

535
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:37.519
crowd again, Barney, Lenny,
Carl whatever, there's a group shot.

536
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:40.800
Now they're the same. He got
those three together and then has to chime

537
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:45.159
into something bring up the file.
Yeah, I didn't enjoy Homer sayne,

538
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:49.119
does anyone need a hero? What
if someone order a hero? He gets

539
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:51.559
up there, takes him. He
does a good job. He doesn't fuck

540
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:55.519
it up. He really does,
you know. Despite initial disruption from Squeaky

541
00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:00.039
Boys team, Yeah, yeah,
Homer's got a point. Bring back the

542
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.840
Horrible who was basically the Viking version
of Homer. He tells the story of

543
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:07.159
the First Christmas. So Homer is, Joseph marches Mary and she's pregnant.

544
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.360
So who's the angel that least is
playing? Is she just an angel?

545
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:14.039
Or does this angel have a name? I think just an angel. I'm

546
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.159
trying to recall who the angel that
sort of delivered the good word, all

547
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:22.400
the all the bad news to uh
Mary and Joseph was I want to say,

548
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:29.000
Gabriel. Okay, but I could
be completely wrong. Mary, it's

549
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:32.320
not all She's full of quiet you
Mary. You carry in your womb the

550
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:37.840
son of God who will grow up
to become King of the Jews. Not

551
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.199
a doctor. Well, he will
be able to heal the sick, but

552
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:45.400
nothing to hand the war and the
Three Wise Men then arrived with gifts for

553
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:50.400
the for the king, but not
this king for the newborn child. And

554
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.440
who's burns playing again with his name
King Herod. King Herod yes, and

555
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:57.360
he's not impressive with this. He's
very upset, and he says kings don't

556
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.480
hurt babies, but giant pointy swords
will. Oh my, by the way,

557
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.519
it's time to ask an answer once
again. We all know what gold

558
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:07.679
is, but what is frankinsense and
mr Apparently if you combine those two elements

559
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:14.480
together you get a very nice sort
of healing ointment. Someone's been on Wikipedia.

560
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:16.239
There you go. Well, thanks
for the heads up with Now the

561
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:24.519
Bethlehem in which is run by moh, don't you worry. I got plenty

562
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:29.440
of rooms of my inn oh with
brand new carpeting. I want to just

563
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:32.079
broke. You can have the barn
and I feel free to come by the

564
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:37.119
main house for breakfast. There won't
be any doctor Nick arrive Shalam everybody or

565
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.920
the animals say hello Toots Nick back
to him. I've got to kick out

566
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.719
of the the Caesar gag here as
well. Caesar just amended the Cesarean as

567
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.760
a sorry, get here in the
fuck out of here. Then bart is

568
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:51.679
born, baby Jesus is born,
I should say, and he's got the

569
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.920
Messiah's nose, not you the other
one. And then Homer attempts to drink

570
00:36:54.960 --> 00:37:00.199
some wine and bart fucks it up, doesn't he He does in day the

571
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:06.159
seeds of the eternal conflict planted right
there. But look props to home.

572
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:08.480
Whereas Joseph, I mean Joseph's you
know, he's the embodiment of that T

573
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:12.760
shirt that says I'm not the step
dad, I'm the dad that's stepped up.

574
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.119
M Yes, he says he's gonna
be a great family unit. As

575
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:17.840
she says, you know. First
of all, though he starts choking him,

576
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:20.840
so you can't do that. List
So you can't do that, because

577
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:22.119
he's going to be wait till he's
thirty three, I believe, and he's

578
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:28.400
gonna be crucified for Jesus age.
Yes. And then but he's crying or

579
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.079
a night, Jesus crying all night, and Joseph says, you know,

580
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.599
you can't help. He's watching the
Orange Bowl. Then he realizes that that

581
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.840
pain a physical comedy makes him laugh. Reminder me, have you ever seen

582
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:40.039
Monsters inc? Of course, yes, there's a scene in Monsters inc where

583
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:45.519
he realizes that making When Mikey does
play by Billy Crystal does physical comedy,

584
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.519
it makes her laugh, which generates
more power obviously, but it reminded me

585
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:51.039
of that moment. It's very very
similar. It's like, oh, this

586
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:52.639
is how this is how you laugh? You want you know, physical comedy

587
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.400
A and they do the three students
routine that you mentioned earlier, and he

588
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:58.599
falls asleep, and this is where
they're like, you know what, we're

589
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:00.880
going to be a nice family unit. Now is all going to work?

590
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.880
And then King Herod arrives Manger danger
major danger and lose a little bit,

591
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:07.239
lose a little bit concerned. Are
be sure you want to be like killing

592
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.559
a baby? You could look bad
for us. I don't know I'll ever

593
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.679
speak or right of this again.
And they follow the glow, but the

594
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:17.079
glow is unfortunately a duck put the
halo on the duck and to stop the

595
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:22.280
army, Joseph cuts a tree and
it rolls down and it knocks everyone over.

596
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.360
They get stuck to it and because
of the flames and there's a duck

597
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:29.159
stern still on top of the halo, it appears like a Christmas tree.

598
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:31.039
Oh it worked for me. I
liked it. Yeah, not a Haneker

599
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:34.519
bush, but a Christmas tree.
Christmas tree, yes, not a Honeker

600
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.679
bush. Some people look at this
and think that's pretty corny and obvious,

601
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:40.119
but I liked it. It made
sense. But you like Christmas? Yeah?

602
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:44.880
I did like Christmas, Yes,
but I did like the way there's

603
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.239
all wrapped up with Homer at the
lecter and I'm saying, and that baby

604
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:55.320
Jeers grew up to be Jesus.
WHOA, Yes, I don't know why.

605
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:58.920
I'm a suck of that line every
every time it happens in the census,

606
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:01.639
you know, when they do the
um like the old time radio thing,

607
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:09.119
Where was I and that little boy
grew up to be Joe McCarthy whoa

608
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:14.119
Yeah, it makes me laugh every
time. The second segment, which was

609
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:19.440
I Saw Grandpa cussing Santa, starts
off with Barton Lisa watching the Crusty Christmas

610
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.519
Special. I'm mashooming and I think
it was actually the Energizer Bunny Christmas Special.

611
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:28.320
Trusty was later in the in act
three. Yes, watching the Energizer

612
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:31.519
Bunny Christmas Special ats right, and
yeah, just ran a Christmas ship and

613
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:36.280
then Grandpa falls out of the Chimney
sitting up a trap for Santa, and

614
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:37.039
he's like, well, what are
you doing? What? Whyould you wanna

615
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.360
do that? And Barton regrets that
follow up question because he goes on to

616
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:44.719
tell the story of how he is
in World War two with his brother Cyrus,

617
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:46.960
who will never be mentioned again,
and how Santa screwed him over.

618
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:51.440
I just, like I said,
original story, and it worked to fit

619
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.199
the characters. Nothing seemed silly.
It was very fun. It was indeed,

620
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:59.639
dandis having a model train flashbags at
this moment, like a no,

621
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.760
don't ask him yes, don't ask
for a story, don't make this old

622
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.239
man's day, make him feel lonely. I was a Navy pilot in the

623
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:13.320
Pacific alone with my big brother Cyrus. Cyrus, he never mentioned him before,

624
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.079
and I'll never mention him again,
but I loved him all the same.

625
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:21.559
Okay, Hey, let's win this
walk quick so we can go home

626
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.800
and slowly give black folks more rights. And then the chemic cars has arrived.

627
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:28.559
This is very similar to the bus
that couldn't slow down. Gay,

628
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:30.360
Hey, it's those planes that crashed
into the boat. What are they called

629
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:35.360
it? So Cyrus says, you
know he's got his good luck charms,

630
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.480
so he'll be fine. He's good
luck charm is the pocket watch and it

631
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:43.280
plays which songs to Davis plays American
Patrol Blay the Glenn Miller Band. Yes,

632
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:45.079
unfortunately they get shut out of his
hand. But good thing he sold

633
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:50.199
too off the dead soldiers. Burns
is the lieutenant, so he's in the

634
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:52.360
back of the of the plane with
Grandpa, and Grandpas does tell Cyrus and

635
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:57.400
he's got people tailing him and he's
trying to look after himself. But Burns

636
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:00.119
is too busy talking to his old
He's girl back home, Bernard. I

637
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:01.800
mean, if you're in the war
and you finally get ahold of your girlfriend

638
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:06.280
back in America, you're gonna be
talking to her, That's true. You

639
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:07.920
are going to be hogging the two
way and you get a chance to speak

640
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:12.880
to your bear's gal. Do tell
him radio my brother and tell him to

641
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:16.079
watch his tail. Quiet you,
I'm talking to my best girl. I

642
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:21.760
miss you too, burning Into you
hang up first, No, you hang

643
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:27.840
up first, No, you hang
up first, No, you hang up

644
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:46.039
first. Russ, You'll pay for
that, you high coop spouting savages.

645
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:50.760
Is there anything more annoying than no, you hang up, No, you

646
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:54.360
hang up. That's like I've never
done that. I always hang up show

647
00:41:54.559 --> 00:42:00.599
his boss. But the thing is, I remember being yeah, you know

648
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:02.079
it teenage you with the text messages, and I remember it was just like

649
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:05.719
good night and then others and say
good night. It's like, is that

650
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:07.119
end of the conversation, whip?
I supposed to say something back that's cute,

651
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:08.960
like what do I what do I
do? What do I do?

652
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:14.760
This still happens to this day with
me. I mean, you know,

653
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.599
there will be occasions when I will
text the lovely Louise good night and she

654
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.119
will text back, and I want
to leave it them. I'm going to

655
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.599
send one little love hearts on that, which would be saying I thought you

656
00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:29.400
were going to sleep, Yes,
stop bothering me, it's late, um.

657
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:35.440
And then then you delete your number
new phone. Can you please do

658
00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:42.400
that one time to Louise. I'd
love to see the result. The point

659
00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:47.360
Dando brings back Mitch because guys too
clinically depressed. It's a podcast new hosts

660
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:55.360
who dis new host is Mitch,
but then they unfortunately also get shot down.

661
00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:59.280
They end up washed up on an
island. Of course, you heard

662
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:04.360
what Grandpa's as he plumdered to I
wish I tried refa. Was it correct?

663
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.440
Yes? I am. I like
Grandpa taking charge here. It's good

664
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.800
seeing young Grandpa when he's not just
this, you know, feeble old man.

665
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.480
He's virile. Yeah yeah, and
Birds is trying to take control because

666
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.880
this, this and this fit the
band's character. What lalah gagan and built

667
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.320
up fire. I don't have to
listen to you and this island. Military

668
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.239
rank means nothing. We're in a
state of nature where the strong of will

669
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:30.679
control the week. How dear you
drown the king of New Burns Island.

670
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:43.000
How do you like to be the
archduke jurge of Coconuts? So he says,

671
00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:45.960
the Grandpa's taking charge, He's running
the show here. Day's turned to

672
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:47.760
weeks, turned to months, turned
back to days, back to this,

673
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:52.280
Yes, and then envisions Grandpa.
I envisions bits of birds as a woman

674
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:55.639
eyes up here, soldier, that's
um. That's by the way, World

675
00:43:55.639 --> 00:44:00.840
War two era movie star and a
blonde bombs Betty Grabel said she was OK.

676
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:05.840
Yeah, well that's she's meant to
be. Sort of an iconic image

677
00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:12.559
of Betty Grabel, who's renowned for
her legs more than anything else. True,

678
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:15.280
there's a sort of an iconic image
of her in a bathing suit and

679
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:19.639
she's gone her back to the back
to the camera, but sort of looking

680
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:22.920
back over a shot. I shouldn't
have done that while I'm recorded. She's

681
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:27.079
got looking back over her shoulder.
Yeah, quite coquettishly. And I think

682
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:30.679
that helped these a lot of lonely
nights for a lot of lonely guys during

683
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:35.000
w W I I I think the
Simpsons have taken off that image quite a

684
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.679
bit. I think so. Yeah, you can tell the generation of of

685
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.800
early Simpsons writers. At least,
I think there were probably a few a

686
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.760
few boomers in the writer's room.
So their hopes of being rescued have faded.

687
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:51.639
Now it's Christmas Eve and they're just
setting up the little They've got a

688
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:53.519
nice set up, now, haven't
they. That's sort of the sort of

689
00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:55.960
work they've conceded. Oh this might
be it for us, So let's just

690
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.079
let's just make this work. And
Burns gives him a he's offering, and

691
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:04.360
it's shaving cream, but which is
made out of seagull brains and snail goo.

692
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.400
But at least this is mate given
him something, you know, may

693
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.280
do it what they can. And
then they hear something to hear something over

694
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:12.119
in the sky. What is it, mister Burns, I don't care,

695
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:14.519
it's Christmas. I want to shoot
something, and he shoots it down.

696
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:16.000
They realized that Santa slay. This
was I really like this. So he

697
00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:22.599
yells out for the reindeer. Oh
he's German. That's good eating. Well,

698
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:24.039
if you heard someone say Donner and
blitz and you've been like, oh,

699
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:27.679
okay, yeah, that's definitely Germans, exactly, Yeah, it makes

700
00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.920
sense. And this is where they
promised to get the slave back up and

701
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:34.079
running for him or my name is
not young grandpass shipson, and we get

702
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:36.559
the montages and fixing it up.
Did you see the name of the sleigh,

703
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:39.400
the new name? They called it
naughty or naughty or nice? Yes,

704
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:44.320
And then the reindeer is unfortunately,
Rudolph has been eaten by a snake

705
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:46.639
and Pranter is missing as well,
assumed also eaten by a snake. So

706
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:51.400
it Burns. Santa's about to leave
and Burns backstabs him. I'm like,

707
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:53.800
ah, classy, Burns, He'll
turn How did I see this coming?

708
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:55.880
I didn't see it coming. I
was like, Oh, of course,

709
00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:00.480
of course this is what's going to
happen. The face turn would be more

710
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:05.239
sort of yeah, it's like what
the hill turns, just natural. Burns

711
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:07.199
just waiting it out until he's right
to the right moment, and bam,

712
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.480
the old cooking out in the head. He flies off with the sleigh and

713
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:16.280
Grandpa's human even let him spoon me, and then he jumps on the all

714
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:20.079
the reindeer tries to resascitate Santa first, but then he jumps on top of

715
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.119
him and flies. I like this
action sequence. I've Grandpa riding the raindegain.

716
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:28.320
Yeah. So this apparently the action
sequences in this episode were difficult to

717
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:31.559
animate, so the animated the background
as one one first, and then they

718
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:36.519
did the foreground second. So Grandpa
and the reindeer and mister Burns was animated

719
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:39.199
by itself and then put over the
top of the background animated separately because it

720
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:43.199
was too hard. There's too many
moving things in the background to go to

721
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:45.960
animated altogether, particularly the scene with
the planes, because somebody planes flying in

722
00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:50.519
the background. So they animated all
the background planes and then animated the foreground

723
00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:53.360
and blended them together. I think
we can all agree that they came together

724
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:58.199
quite nicely. They did, indeed, yes, But so he shoots the

725
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:01.719
reindeer, but it doesn't have as
much impact because it's not bleeding anything.

726
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:06.960
It's it's treating it like at the
plants. It's like it's like it doesn't

727
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:08.920
really sort of go. You don't
go, oh, poor reindeer, because

728
00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:13.599
Grandpa eventually jumps off the reindeer,
lands on burns and beats the shit out

729
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:15.440
of him with a tricycle. I
want to say, tricycle with a trisycle.

730
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:20.320
Yes, And this is where they've
the rescued, the rescue Santa now,

731
00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:22.880
and Santa says that you know,
I'll take you. Um, I'll

732
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:24.360
take you. I'll go finish my
ship, I'll go do my job,

733
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:29.400
and then I'll come back to take
you home. And if it gets to

734
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:32.840
do so, he never does,
does does? I waited and waited,

735
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.440
but Santa never came back. If
I hadn't invented a jet scheme, made

736
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.960
a coconut, I'd have never gotten
home. And then when I did,

737
00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:45.719
the war was over and the nurses
were all kissed out. That's quite a

738
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:49.840
tale, Grandpa, What did you
little? It's true? I cheld you.

739
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:57.639
It's Santa. I got an old
scart a settle God God, and

740
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:07.760
I missed him again. My brother's
lucky watch sounds I must have laughed at.

741
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:13.960
I wish I miss you every day. A very sweet moment, wasn't

742
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.559
it? That was nice? Yeah? And was sorry. It was a

743
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:22.719
Don Paine who said that Jean dum
Paine wrote the episode of Largogene. Yeah.

744
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:24.280
Yeah, and I think el Jean
had a point. I mean,

745
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:30.440
that would have been a really traditional
Christmas Christmas e way to end it.

746
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:34.920
Yeah, I'm torn. I'm fifty
I'm maybe sixty percent. Yeah, leave

747
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.239
it there. But the the other
forty percent is like, no, no,

748
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.559
it's not too bad the way it
ends. Although I looked up poko,

749
00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:45.199
poko, miku, nnet oh boy
a mines some listen now, No,

750
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:50.559
no, it actually doesn't come up. You know, um it sounds

751
00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:55.719
like looky, it sounds it sounds
ribald. Yeah. Miku apparently is like

752
00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:01.360
a Japanese word for beautiful. Okay, so something else as well. Hold

753
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:06.760
one second, I might be able
to find out. But it does when

754
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:10.280
you combine the two. It doesn't
necessarily mean anything sexy or romantic. It's

755
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:15.559
just an exotic couple of words that
sounded more exotic together they do. Indeed,

756
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:19.440
Yes, So basically, Grandpa I
saw Santa tells Grandpa that Cyrus never

757
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:22.360
died, he crashed the head,
he never left, and he says,

758
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:25.360
you'll take Grandpa there, And then
when they get there, Santa's excuse,

759
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:28.800
Oh, I kept putting it off, and then I just got too embarrassed.

760
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.239
We've all been there, right,
Oh God, yeah, you're putting

761
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:34.159
something off, putting it off.
Then You're just like, now, I'm

762
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:37.519
just gonna pretend that that person doesn't
exist anymore because I'm too embarrassed to acknowledge

763
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:38.880
that I've let this go too long. We've all, we've all, we've

764
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:43.280
all been there. And then Cyrus
says he's been busy with his fifteen Native

765
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:45.679
wives. It sounds like a lot
of sex. I said, why it's

766
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:50.400
not girlfriends? And then the no
pokmical for Cyrus. It definitely sounds like

767
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:52.760
sex. I won't. I thought
it was funny, it really does.

768
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:58.000
The final segment is the Nutcracker Sweet
and It's Nutcracker Special. End of view

769
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:02.440
play at school, perhaps the worst
ever since Superintendent charm is a good review.

770
00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:06.679
No leaving after your kid's part has
done as well, so it says

771
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:09.000
on the front and I think it's
over, but it's just intermission. But

772
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:13.119
everyone just leaves anyway, and Lego
continues to taunt the children. Then I'm

773
00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.159
assuming time has a lapse because it
cuts to the family then walking down the

774
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:19.159
street, and Lisa was on stage
at that point. But Oblahoma says he

775
00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:21.960
never wants to hear the nutcrack of
music again, and Lisa says, well,

776
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:23.320
you're gonna have to because it's in
public domain, which means everyone's gonna

777
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:25.599
use it. I didn't know that
until watch this episode. I didn't realize

778
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:29.360
it was probably done. They are
the same here. I've started on a

779
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:35.840
bate my Christmas pie. I've got
to get that a lousy tie. Christmas

780
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:38.880
crowds wild hide time left you blue, Christiny to move your ash let me

781
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:46.719
Christmas Eve? Wise, the sand
does suit so snug? Why should they

782
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:51.760
kid? It's soul bog have jucked
my place, says up so hie.

783
00:50:51.800 --> 00:51:12.679
But let's not junk this upsot Christmas
Eve. Here these holiday cookies swell my

784
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:19.679
catch. Yeah, cat, even
though we're not gentile, will get together

785
00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:28.599
for a while. The Christmas Eve
is here. Christmas is a family.

786
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:37.000
I don't grumba we'd be awake Christmas. E fine, spend Christmas Eve with

787
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:47.360
the raccoons. It got me a
gift, D said, Lord, I

788
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:52.800
shouldn't have. I love that.
I love the Jewish tradition of eating Johnny's

789
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:57.760
food on Christmas, which uh,
you know, apparently happened because it started

790
00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:00.599
in New York. App the Jwish
community. In the Chinese community, they

791
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:05.840
sort of their neighborhoods were closed by
that's nice. And the Chinese was one

792
00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:09.320
of the few communities that wasn't really
anti Semitic, and they sort of said,

793
00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:12.440
yeah, come on in and have
a bite to way, We're happy

794
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.079
to We're happy to feed you.
And that's and it became a tradition that

795
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:19.920
was just ongoing. Maybe we should
all just have Chinese Christmas time. But

796
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:22.119
that is a night that is very
I didn't know that. That's a very

797
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:27.039
nice story. But then they spending
sending Grandpa out to spend Christmas Eve raccoons.

798
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:30.360
I just loved their little ugly sweaters. Then we get the Krusty Special

799
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:34.480
and he plays his most requested clip
from the nineteen sixty four It's the snowballs

800
00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:37.920
in the balls and John Glenn and
Martin Luther King of they're laughing at him.

801
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:40.840
Then we get Mo's annual tradition attempting
suicide to dance of the flutes,

802
00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:45.119
and yeah, very funny. Montage
just slept through the traffic, just his

803
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:49.000
face of just like fuck and the
gum with the Christmas flag that very Christmas

804
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:52.000
on the other side. Then you
think, then you think he's he's putting

805
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:54.280
his head in the oven, but
he's actually serving Barney a nice Christmas roast

806
00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:58.199
and says he look at ham.
Yeah, nice looking. He says,

807
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:00.800
can you kill me? He's like, oh what is wall? Oh?

808
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.159
Maybe next year? And that was
I was just very sweet. It is

809
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:06.559
nice. Then we get I think
the best part of the whole thing.

810
00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:08.440
Where as we discussed earlier Homer and
Marge. This was very It was just

811
00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:15.320
nice to see Homer and Marge not
squabbling, loving each other happy. I

812
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:19.440
was like, you can do this, please, can we get more of

813
00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:22.840
this? So Homer has forgotten his
present for Marge. So and this is

814
00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:28.480
to the tune of I would Trey
pack Trapak and he goes to the quickie

815
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:32.039
mart and all that's left is turkey
made of trout. So then he returns

816
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:36.440
and he's all somber and he's sad
and embarrassed, and Marge is waiting for

817
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:38.559
him and they're just the music and
then look on her face and it's like

818
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:42.039
she knows that he's forgotten, but
she's like, don't worry, I've got

819
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:45.159
this, and she gives the gift
to him, and it's a gift for

820
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:47.480
her. And it's the photo of
them, of hom address as Sancho and

821
00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:50.320
her on his lap, and they're
all just having a great time. And

822
00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:52.679
like you said, it does break
a tear to your right, doesn't it.

823
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:55.559
It really does. They just looked
so happy together, and both in

824
00:53:55.639 --> 00:54:00.719
the photo and in real life.
And yeah, as I said before,

825
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:04.559
it's good of a part of who
knows you as well as you know yourself,

826
00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:07.199
if not better. Yeah, it's
nice to see Horror and March having

827
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:10.079
fun together without the kids around as
well. Correct. Yeah, snuggling in

828
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:14.360
front of the fire on Christmas Eve. Ye, lovely, It is lovely.

829
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:16.400
And it ends with most sliding by
a little callback to his little moment

830
00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:20.360
before with to all and to all, a good night on the banner and

831
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:24.760
here an eighteen Wheeler eighteen wheels No
Miss Me and that was that. Yeah.

832
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:28.639
I just I was so surprised with
how much I enjoyed this. It

833
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:30.400
was just this was a great Christmas
special from the Simpsons. Well done,

834
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:36.400
Don Payin, Well done Don Payne
and everyone involved. Merry Christmas everyone.

835
00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:39.000
Yeah, I mean no, just
I was going by the title, which

836
00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:42.320
is as generic as it gets.
Yeah, I was like, I was

837
00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:44.199
like, oh my god, they
could even think of an interesting name.

838
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:46.000
It's going to be shit. Yeah, I think they're going to be putting

839
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:49.960
in twenty five percent effort to this
one. You know, this is a

840
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:53.840
not quite mid season that. You
know, it's like we might we're a

841
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:58.079
bit time, we're running on a
bit of m d Let's just and no

842
00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:00.440
brought the a game a they did. Indeed, they're definitely one of the

843
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:04.400
better ones we're reviewed in a long
time. You bet. What do we

844
00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:07.679
learn? Bomber? So what did
you learn from the episode? Mister Davis?

845
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:12.360
Don't have fifteen wives? Settle for
maybe like ten girlfriends might get some

846
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:16.000
Poko Miku. I learned that they
can give us good Homer and March stories,

847
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:22.079
so give us more of them.
That's it. Forward, Your name

848
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:25.840
trill be all right, it's time
for the Guy Davis New Name Championship.

849
00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:30.639
The current leaderboard stands at this in
first position, Luke McKay on nine points,

850
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:34.159
Heath Apple beyond seven points in second
position, and in third position,

851
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:37.320
we have a two way tie.
Can you do you say two way tie

852
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:43.639
or just a tie? It's three
way tie when two people yeah, yeah,

853
00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:46.360
and the three way dies when three
people yes. And Norah Coker and

854
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:50.119
Fergus Jess both of five points in
third position. All right, So what

855
00:55:50.199 --> 00:55:52.679
have we got this week? Mister
Davis? Right, a lot of good

856
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:57.599
entries this time around, but I've
decided to just go one, two three

857
00:55:57.920 --> 00:56:02.960
with the points and the first point. The single point goes too. It's

858
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:08.719
the wonderful time of the year.
That works very well. We've definitely bought

859
00:56:08.760 --> 00:56:12.480
that. That would have been more
interesting title for this episode. That sipsons

860
00:56:12.559 --> 00:56:16.199
Christmas stories. Great. That's Richard
Gayfer for one point. First time Richards

861
00:56:16.360 --> 00:56:20.760
received points on the leader board.
But I'm Richard, long time listener,

862
00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:23.400
first time point getter. Nice one. Yes, it's a long time listener.

863
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:29.840
Maybe he's not two points four and
you know, I like my dolls.

864
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:35.679
It's the dope trinity. Oh not
bad. That is Matthew Polido also

865
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:38.480
first time on the leaderboard. Two
points by I'm Matthew. Oh my gosh.

866
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:42.360
We're making all manner of new buddies
at Christmas time. That's great,

867
00:56:43.079 --> 00:56:51.840
but three points the gold goes to
a Christmas trilogy. Oh Christmas trilogy that

868
00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:54.320
is. Oh it's our man Steve
Roberts, who whenever we do our patron

869
00:56:54.400 --> 00:57:00.440
monthly zoom calls, he's calling us
from work in a factory. He's always

870
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:06.760
around heavy machine. Whey. We're
like Steve lose a finger. But Steve

871
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:08.599
Roberts has the first time he's appeared
on the leader board. So three movies

872
00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:12.400
this week. Well done everybody,
So the leader board hasn't changed as well.

873
00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:14.920
It makes my job. It's a
Christmas miracle, all right. So

874
00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:16.760
that means the leaderboard still is Luke
McKay in first position, Heather would be

875
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:21.599
in second, and Norah Coker and
Fergus Jeffs with a two way tie in

876
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:29.320
third position. Debail is here.
Okay, dokey, mister Davis. We

877
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:34.760
have some male bad questions that have
come through for us, like a Santa

878
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:38.199
sack full of the messengers you might
say a sack full of male bad questions.

879
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:42.320
Indeed, this one here comes from
Harrison McClure. Harrison says, do

880
00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:45.079
you guys have any personal Christmas Eve
slash Day Boxing Day traditions? We've already

881
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:47.239
discussed that. I think we've liked
the specials that we like to watch.

882
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:52.320
And I always watch Christmas Carol on
Christmas Day's, usually in the morning when

883
00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:55.480
because my parents come over and my
uncle's come over to watch to open the

884
00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:59.599
presents and stuff. When they go, I just to Christmas Carol on in

885
00:57:59.599 --> 00:58:00.960
the background, and it's just it's
just I to have it on, not

886
00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:05.519
necessarily watching it. It's just it's
just seeing it that it's there makes it

887
00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:07.599
feel like hostess to me. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

888
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:10.519
Certainly on a Christmas morning, I
will, well, I put on something

889
00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:15.000
like maybe Scrooged or It's a Wonderful
Life if I haven't seen it on Christmas

890
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:20.320
Eve, and I'll have that in
the background while I am preparing what I'm

891
00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:23.199
going to bring to the Davis Family
Christmas smorgest board. Yeah, and we

892
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:25.760
passed a salad back in the day
before you could pick and choose, you

893
00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:29.679
know, I used to really enjoy
when they'd always have like the Christmas marathons,

894
00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:31.559
and it was like all the very
sitcoms having their Christmas specials back to

895
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:37.039
back to back to back. It
was just nice. But my Boxing Day

896
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:45.800
tradition for a while there. Um
dooty great sandwich out of out of Christmas

897
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:49.719
leftovers, you know, mostly salad, but a lot big whack at turkey

898
00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:54.880
in there. Um. Sorry,
I hope the cops aren't listening. Smoke

899
00:58:54.920 --> 00:58:58.840
a little bit of reef and watch
the Lord of the Rings trilogy so you

900
00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:02.880
can get down of a plane now, won't matter. That's good. I

901
00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:09.800
wish I tried my reever hero.
This one's from Andrew JP. What's your

902
00:59:09.840 --> 00:59:15.199
favorite Christmas movie? We've discussed this. He's a diehardened Batman Returns, so

903
00:59:15.559 --> 00:59:19.920
he's amount of taste. Yes,
Pat Wright, would you rather Alliott this

904
00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:22.320
one for me? I guess would
you rather Alliott ruined Santa Claus for all

905
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:24.280
the kids in kinder or have him
ruined it for Holly kids? And kind

906
00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:29.760
don't give a shit about those kids
to quote Michael Jordan, those kids.

907
00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:31.800
But the thing is, did he
actually say that? I don't think he

908
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:37.280
did, but it became his mame. You can just teacher Michael Jordan.

909
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:45.719
I'm like, it's feasible, it
really, And I love how no one

910
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:51.039
really sort of begrudges him, the
fact that he's like a prick because he's

911
00:59:51.079 --> 00:59:53.000
Michael Jordan, because he's so good
and he backs everything up. He's just

912
00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:55.159
like, I am better than you, and if you think you better,

913
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:59.800
I'm gonna make you realize you're fucking
not. But that he was like,

914
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.119
okay, okay, that that doco
on Jordan on Netflix is one of the

915
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:07.039
best docos I can I've ever seen
in my life. It's so good.

916
01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:09.440
It's incredible, isn't it. It's
actually what's so great about that is that

917
01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:14.239
the last Dance that was just called
the Last dast Dance, Yeah, is

918
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:17.719
that it's all this like HD footage
of like peak NBA era that no one

919
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:21.760
had ever seen before. It was
like amazing. It'd be like seeing this

920
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:25.440
full HD like doco of like Star
Wars being made behind the sceneshit that you've

921
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:30.519
never seen before. What's what's a
doco you'd love to see behind the scenes

922
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:32.280
of a movie of all this HD
footage that you've never seen before. If

923
01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:37.079
you could choose like one one era
or what one film series or TV series

924
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.280
where it's just you know, three
hours of footage or well that was would

925
01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:44.159
be like nine hours of footage,
wouldn't it. I'm just like maybe.

926
01:00:44.239 --> 01:00:49.280
I mean, they made this this
ten hour dramatized version of the making of

927
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:52.920
The Godfather called The Offer okay um, which I watched a little bit of

928
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:54.400
him was like part of this is
a good part of this, Most of

929
01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:59.639
this is not, but the way
that all came together, all the drama

930
01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:01.559
that's involved with it. I mean, I'd love to see an actual,

931
01:01:01.719 --> 01:01:07.639
really good, in depth documentary which
sure probably exists or probably as being made

932
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:10.000
or been made. But you know, all the people that were looking forward

933
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:15.000
to play all these various iconomic people
and bringing the cast they did get together,

934
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:17.320
I don't I think that'd be fantastic. I'd love to see behind the

935
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:20.639
scenes making of that, all right, Whether you have a guys. That

936
01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:23.199

01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.880
