12
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.359
four finger Discount this week where hits
review episode J A B F zero one.

13
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.920
It is Killed Gills Volumes one and
two. Iron Dando, I am

14
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.280
guy, and I'm looking over at
my man Dando here, and he's got

15
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.079
this kind of look on his face, like do we really have to talk

16
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.200
about this episode? I get the
feeling he was not all that mad.

17
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.239
I'm Not Kill Gill Volumes one and
two. This didn't bother me in the

18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.680
sense of like Code Pennants Day anything
like that. I just felt this one

19
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.159
was just I've got here. I
was just disappointed because you know, I

20
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.159
always have a soft spot for the
Christmas episodes, right, but I struggled

21
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.359
with this one because it's the same
old thing. Right. In their prime,

22
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.319
the Simpsons had a core cast of
the family and a whole bunch of

23
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.159
sort of secondary characters were to be
a Pooh Skinner Burns the core secondary characters,

24
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.200
and then there was just all these
extras that would be popping up occasional,

25
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.760
usually for a line or two,
like Guy and Old Gil is an

26
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.840
example of that character. Right to
use your football analogy, You've got your

27
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:09.680
starting eighteen, you got your reserves, and you got your emergencies. And

28
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.199
yes, these characters like Gil is
an emergency. Yes, I'd say even

29
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.560
like Lionel Huts for example, He's
another example of he pops up occasionally and

30
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.319
he serves his purpose and he moves
on. We don't know much about his

31
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.639
life, and that's where it was
for Gil until this episode, and these

32
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.000
characters. The best thing about him
is you don't know all that much about

33
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.800
them. You just get the best
bits of them when you do deep.

34
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.120
Of course, now they're in season
eighteen, they need to come up with

35
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.400
fresh ideas, new concepts and things
like that, and we start getting deep

36
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.000
dives and characters like come book guy
we've mentioned and things like that. This

37
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.599
character Gil didn't need this because for
me, no one came out of this

38
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.360
episode looking better than going in.
I know that they tried to build up

39
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.719
sympathy for him again at the end
with Marj's ruining his beak, sort of

40
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.319
like Hohobla in Stocksdale, whatever it
was. But the thing is, you

41
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.639
watched his first two thirds of this
episode, and all this time you always

42
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.080
feel sorry for old Gill. But
then when you watch this, you're like,

43
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:07.120
all this stuff that happens to him
is kind of deserved. It kind

44
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.560
of brings it on himself. And
that's not what I needed to know.

45
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.199
I just needed it to be like, you know, he's a good guy,

46
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.240
but things just don't go right for
him here. It's like, oh,

47
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.719
he's actually a really he's a mutuary
in paying the arts. Yeah,

48
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.199
it's terrible that they sort of did
that, Isn't that because I mean,

49
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.400
yeah, there's an analogy I use
back in my reviewing days about you know,

50
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.400
certain supporting characters or supporting actors.
They're a bit like masabi. They're

51
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.599
a bit like that lovely hot spice
that you have with your Japanese food.

52
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.439
It's like a little bit, Oh, you've really made the meal. Oh

53
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.520
I can. I enjoyed that so
much, and you've just out of that

54
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.120
nice touch of spice. You put
too much masabi on your on your sushi.

55
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.000
This is inedible and I don't like
it, and I never wanted anymore.

56
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.520
So, yeah, you can't have
too much. Oh, you can't

57
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.240
have too much of a good thing. No. And Gil, up to

58
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.360
this point has always been a favorite
of mine ever since he's I thought,

59
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.639
I've always said here on the he's
the best post Golden New character they've created,

60
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.599
right, Gil, But you watch
this and you're just like, oh,

61
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.919
you've you've killed the vision. And
what I liked about the character was

62
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.199
that I always thought he was just
this nice guy that you just gotta love

63
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.879
him. Things just don't go right
for poor old girl. No, he's

64
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.000
just not a very not he's a
bad person, but he's just we all

65
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.360
have that one person in our lives. You're just like, I love you,

66
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.759
but you know you just fucking using
me. You know, you go

67
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.560
from person to person to person to
person, get what you can. Once

68
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.240
they stop giving it to you,
just find the next sap. There's a

69
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.439
great line in the quite underrated comedy
Hot Tub Time Machine. Yeah, they're

70
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.800
talking about one of the characters who's
ended up in hospital some misadventure, and

71
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.759
one of the other guys says,
you know how in your group of friends,

72
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:41.399
you got that one asshole. He's
our asshole. And yeah, I

73
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.439
mean yeah, Gil has always come
across as someone who just can't catch a

74
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.920
break, And what this episode sort
of conveyed is it might be kind of

75
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.839
his fault. It is his,
even if they try to reckcon a bit

76
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.399
later on and just have him as
an occasional not one note gag, but

77
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.120
just a fleeting gag about O girls
got at this time. Oh no,

78
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.959
it's not gone, Gills way.
It's like it's tainted forever because we've got

79
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:10.079
this history, you know. And
yeah, not everyone needs backstory. I'd

80
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.439
say a lot of people don't need
backstory, and they serve their purpose in

81
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:20.000
just providing a certain gag a certain
tone, a certain something like we were

82
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.000
excited somewhat by the idea of the
book of Boba fat But then when he

83
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.079
watched the episode, it's like,
ah, Boba Fett was just better.

84
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.399
When he didn't take the mask off, Mando lost its charm. I think

85
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.199
when he took his mask off,
I was like, ahh, it's not

86
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.120
really the same. It's just a
guy in a suit. You need a

87
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:38.480
little room to dream, you need
a little room for your own imagination to

88
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.519
run right. And you know,
like I wonder what gils backstory is,

89
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.079
you know, And that's when you
have, as I had to say at

90
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.000
three am at the dorm room,
conversations about oh what if you is like

91
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.560
this or what if yous like that? But no, to sort of have

92
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.959
something come in like this, And
this isn't necessarily giving him backstory, but

93
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.279
it is fleshing him out and showing
you that the true Gill. Yeah,

94
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.639
why I thinks go right for him
because he brings it upon himself pretty much.

95
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.079
Why no one wants to help him
because he help him. He just

96
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.120
takes everything. Oh having said that, I mean it is actually really nice

97
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.360
at the start, where you know
he's like, oh, this little girl,

98
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.800
he wants this gift. I think
there's a spare one in the back,

99
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.399
although it's showing that he's clearly not
too broke as if there's one in

100
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.040
the back. But you know,
we don't do the same. So that's

101
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.000
what I was saying. They were
trying to build sympathy from them, trying

102
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.600
to he's not a bad guy,
but it's just like the second things aren't

103
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.720
going right for him, it's like
you try and help him, he'll just

104
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.399
like reach that as much as he
can. Yeah, And I mean,

105
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.560
I think it would have been better
for the episode. And I know we're

106
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.839
doing a lot of quote unquote fixing
episodes lately, but I think something I

107
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.000
think was missing from this episode was
having a bit of ebb and flow where

108
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.319
it's like he does something good.
The Simpsons are like, oh, where

109
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.920
we feel sympathy. You know,
come and sleep on our couch for a

110
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.720
little while you've ever stayed, You're
welcome girl. But then he does something

111
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.680
good against like, oh, well
he can't be all that bad. Upstands

112
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.079
upstowns, upstands and then he finally
leaves. But unfortunately we didn't get that.

113
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.160
It was just oh, much,
much, much much mooch all the

114
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.319
way through. It's like, I
think they did a bit of ask covering

115
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.480
as well. I mean there's a
scene where Homer goes to the bar and

116
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.639
I think it's Carl says, well, you can't kick him out. It's

117
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:09.199
like, why can't Home kick him
out? I mean, I know that

118
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.959
you've established that this is kind of
a March storyline where it's like, she

119
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.160
says, a girl, I can't
say no. Yeah, she needs to

120
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.000
sort of stand upstander for her stuff. Yeah, yeah, which I felt

121
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.040
kind of out of left feel.
It's like, I get the feeling there

122
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.959
could have been ways you could have
integrated Marge's personality into her desire not to

123
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.519
kick Guild of the curb. We
already had this story with the shut up

124
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.680
Becky. It was just a rehash. I know, we can't we said

125
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.079
last week. I think it was
you can't keep touching the rehashes. But

126
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.360
these two stories, this didn't seem
to work well together. And this whole

127
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.279
story being what essentially been became a
Marge niece to get her independence and show

128
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.879
how strong she is. Story didn't
fit the Christmas theme and the gill Are

129
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.680
no No I mean that's the that's
the other thing. I mean, this

130
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.079
is clearly how is this a Christmas
present? As a Christmas episode not a

131
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.319
Christmas episode? And it's not You're
right, see, I mean the beginning

132
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.319
and the end at Christmas, the
rest everything in between is not at Christmas.

133
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.480
And how is it a Christmas episode? You know? Yeah, it

134
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.480
doesn't have Christmas trappings or trimmings.
No, it doesn't really have Christmas ideas,

135
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.920
just have the vibe of a Christmas
episode. Well that's the thing.

136
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.959
I mean, like I said,
how long of it? Yeah, it's

137
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.600
the beginning of the end. The
rest of us just a year. Yeah,

138
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.839
and it started strong with the Christmas
opening I'd really enjoyed. Apparently it's

139
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.600
only the second time ever besides Trios
of Horror, where the opening sort of

140
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.240
like intro was changed to the theme. I really I was like, oh,

141
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.480
this is cool, this is different, is fresh, and then just,

142
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.039
I don't know, not great.
That's what I was just more left

143
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.039
disappointed by this one. I think, I think I have to agree with

144
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.519
you. I look, I think
it might have had good bones in certain

145
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.960
ways. I mean, there is
an idea around Christmas about you know,

146
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.960
giving rather than receiving and you know, peace on earth and good will to

147
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.639
war men in this case, Gil, do you think because they had because

148
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.240
girls based on Jimmy, that they
wanted to have a Christmas episode like this

149
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.320
because he's based on Jimmy Stewart.
Is he based on Jimmy Stewart? Because

150
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.039
I think the feeling he's more sort
of the main thing that I've always gotten

151
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.039
from Gill. And I don't when
was he introduced. I mean, the

152
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.279
voice, isn't the voice based on
Jimmy Stewart. I always thought it was

153
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.639
Jack Lemon. Remember, you're right
now it is Jaqueleman. You're right?

154
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.799
Whm I get Jimmy Stewart, Yeah, Jed Qauckleman. Yeah, yeah,

155
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.039
Because there's one movie in particularly called
Glengarry Glenn Ross, Yes, in ninety

156
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.720
two, I believe, but it
was a play long before that, and

157
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:26.320
there's a character that Jack Lemon plays
in the film who's this sort of salesman

158
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.440
who's passed his prime, can't close
the deal anymore. You're right, Gill

159
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.159
is based on in voice and appearance
on Jaqueleman's Betrayal of Shelley. Yeah.

160
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.600
Yeah, he was once a gun
I mean, he was the nickname is

161
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.759
Shelley the Machine Levine, but he
can't do it anymore. I think just

162
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.679
Dan does it good. Jimmy Steward, I mean it's what I'm thinking.

163
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.799
Okay, that probably is, but
I mean this is very yeah, this

164
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.759
is very Jack Lemon and well,
it's an interesting thing about that character is

165
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.440
that he's his own worst enemy as
well. He gets sort of arrogant when

166
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.200
he thinks he's closed the sale and
he starts sort of throwing his weight around

167
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.200
and realize that he's fucked up.
Yeah, and that's sort of the the

168
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.639
case here to some degree as well. But you don't want to dislike Gil.

169
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.559
But as I was saying before,
I don't feel anyone comes out of

170
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.039
this episode better than going in now. Say that because not just Gil,

171
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:15.039
Marge as well, because Marge ruins
it. I know she's they're trying to

172
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:16.720
say that Marge needs this, but
she ruins it for Gill and the one

173
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.159
chance he has, she ruins it
for him. I was like, Marge's

174
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.320
kind of being she a bitch here
as well. I get that she wants

175
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.480
it for herself and I know he
deserves it, but like no one looks

176
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.519
good coming out. No, I
mean yeah, I mean the fact that

177
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.000
she sort of calls him out in
front of all these other people, like

178
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.320
you said, ruins his one tw
and mean when you got have recently said

179
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:43.759
in your office and had her moment
of venting or redemption or whatever. Yeah,

180
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.080
none of the work. Homer came
out looking like a dummy as well.

181
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.039
This Homer Grumple story was honestly one
of the stupidest things that's been in

182
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.440
the history of the show. It
really was, And I mean I didn't

183
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.360
and I didn't like it, But
at the same time, I also thought

184
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.720
this could be kind of funny if
he was just so if you saw the

185
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.600
Grumble or the Grumple or whatever it
is in the window occasionally just kind of

186
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.039
haunting and no one saw him there
or maybe Homa, but no one has

187
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.639
believing that he's been chased by the
Grumble. But that to have, like

188
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.879
Marge, go, you've got problems
out there, and I'm like, no

189
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.879
one's questioning why this guy and the
suits outside, and then we find we

190
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.519
find out that he's not actually a
person in a suit. He's a real

191
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.559
creature who bleeds green blood. And
I'm just like, what is going on.

192
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.360
Yeah, I mean I feel kind
of torn because that gag where Home

193
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.639
hits him and then with a bottle
and it's like, there's the grumple of

194
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.080
person, there's the grumble of greens, and I'm like, I don't mind

195
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.639
this, but at the same time, not in these episodes. Yeah,

196
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.360
I just wish that it had some
I like that as a standalone gag,

197
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.279
but I just wish that had the
whole Grumple bit had some more continuity.

198
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.399
And it was basically just this guy
or this creature stalking Homer until the end

199
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.200
and then then the end he puts
the arm around them and they have Christmasy

200
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.879
kind of thing. I don't know, but why though in the end it

201
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.399
was just like so last time we
saw the Grumple, Homer smash him,

202
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.720
heaver the body, he starts bleeding. What happened the Grumple? After that,

203
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:01.879
there is leave him there And the
next time we seen he's just arriving

204
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.960
with his family, the Grumble family
at Gil's house that he just happened to

205
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.600
know where it is, and they
sing songs together. Well that's because it's

206
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:16.600
Christmas time. Together at Christmas time
and sing songs. My favorite so I'm

207
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.799
looking here at my favorite moments.
Mister Davis, You've got some and I've

208
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.639
got nothing. Normally, as I'm
doing the review, I'm rinning favorite moments.

209
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.759
Clearly, this is the first time
in the history of this show in

210
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.000
almost nine years, I haven't put
a favorite moment whilst watching the review.

211
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.559
Okay, well you're like it because
I've got three. Okay, I didn't.

212
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.919
I'm sure the moments in here that
could have fit in my favorite moments,

213
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.159
but I just clearly wasn't you know
what it was, you're not feeling

214
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.399
I was not feeling it. You
know why, because going into it JET

215
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.399
this morning, right, I realized
I hadn't fed him a little bit couplen

216
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.240
hours, so learn one normally fit
was okay, And I mopped the floor

217
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.039
first, and I was like,
all right, So I get a tin

218
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.200
of dog food out. As I'm
opening it up, what was my hand

219
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.440
warm? Then I realized all the
juice from the dog food had just been

220
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.919
pouring out of the tin onto my
hand and onto my freshly mocked floor.

221
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.559
So I had to like remark,
whatever, and I'm like, fucking house,

222
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.799
I'm really And I put the food
in to Jets bowl. He proceeds

223
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.320
to walk up and goes, yeah, I feel it, buddy, and

224
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.879
walks off, and I was like, you, motherfucker, I dirted my

225
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.480
freshly mocked floor with your shitty dog
food juice. It's all of my hand

226
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.919
and my hand feels weird. And
then he walked off and didn't need it.

227
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.159
Well, you're asking me to take
sides against Jerty, which I will

228
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.080
never do. I don't normally do
any most beloved dog there is. But

229
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.759
I think going into this episode with
that mindset didn't help. Well. The

230
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.960
other thing is the valuable lesson you
take away from this Dando never mop,

231
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.519
Never mop. No, But it's
it's amazing A good mop that can really

232
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.440
change the vibe of a house.
That is true. Look, I was

233
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.600
being very facetious with mop. I
rarely mop, but when I do,

234
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.919
it's like, damn, I could
sell this house two hundred grand more than

235
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.080
I how neat it is? You
had no favorite moments I've got. I've

236
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.039
got a few. I'm sure I
would have it, not that I don't

237
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.399
put you. You tell me yours? Well, these are more like favorite

238
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:01.120
lines and anything else. But when
they're going through the calendar and it's doctor

239
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.879
Martin Luther King day and marchays I
can't kick him out on doctor Martin U.

240
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.039
I was like, right, we're
changing doctors. Yeah, that's not

241
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.919
bad. I'm a big fan of
you. For missers figure downstairs area if

242
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.519
you swimsuit to the region, and
for guild to refer to Homers as the

243
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.440
whole butcher shop, I think is
pretty good. I don't I haven't heard

244
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.159
that before. You've heard, of
course meeting too bad may Lowele butcher shop.

245
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.759
I think that's pretty good. Using
that which point will say, I

246
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:33.080
think I mean cocktail frank. I
think you mean a happy meal. You

247
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.720
know what I don't like is that, like cocktail franks, they became in

248
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.840
Australia anyway, we call them little
boys. Do we call them little boys?

249
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.440
Because of that reason? I don't
know why do we call them little

250
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:50.159
boys? That's real. God,
I never thought of, like cocktail flanks

251
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:56.720
are called little boys. Yeah yeah, Oh dude, we're being very childish,

252
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.080
but they're called little boys. Yeah. Boy. In a semi related

253
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.279
item, I know, I thought
Christian Charity was actually not a bad point.

254
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.600
I looked it up. It is
Christian Charity actually a porn star.

255
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.320
I couldn't find anything. No,
I think there are at least one or

256
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:15.279
two porn stars whose first name is
Charity, which but Christmas Charity think is

257
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.679
pretty good Christian yea, yeah,
yeah, the best. The best porn

258
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.759
name still remains Miranda Rights. Miranda
Rights. Now that's also a character in

259
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.799
Bunkers, the Disney series. Oh
yeah, now I'm confused. The person

260
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:35.639
who's sorry, Jim? Next question? You there eating the beast? All

261
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.159
right, trivia time, mister Davis. I'll hit you with my first question.

262
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.039
Smithers wanted to buy, well,
wanted mister Boster buy him what?

263
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.879
It was? A silver picture frame, wasn't it. I'm like, very

264
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.360
planned, but you know that's what
he wanted. You reach a certain stage

265
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.399
in your life where it's kind of
like, you know what, I don't

266
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.519
have enough of picture frames. I
asked things the things that I need,

267
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.799
not what I want. I'm getting
that. I mean, I'm still not

268
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.559
there. I'm reaching the very boring
stage. It's kind of like Christmas.

269
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:08.240
Look shirt book, whiskey pretty much
it you're whiskey man. Yeah. I

270
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.799
have become that later in life.
But I do enjoy a couple of things

271
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:17.559
of a nice single mold of the
evening. M all right, so what's

272
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.879
your first question? Ummmmm. Adults
pay forty dollars to get into the show

273
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:26.200
Hammond to do. Children pay thirty
nine dollars. That's correct. What time

274
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.279
do they arrive at the realty place? Is it two seventeen seventeen? Correct?

275
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.480
Yeah, because the temperature was one
seventeen, wasn't it was? Yeah?

276
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.960
And like Homer leaving the dog and
the family essentially leaving the dog in

277
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:38.759
the car with the windows up,
I'm like this gag. Not funny,

278
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.399
not cool, not cool at all. Homo was just an absolute dim with

279
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.360
this entire episode. I have written
down here stopping stupid Homer. Yeah,

280
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:51.639
and what was that about, I'll
look just about anything, Yeah, just

281
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.080
on this episode in general. It
was just this season eighteen Homer. No,

282
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.679
i' I know what it is.
Yeah, it's because everybody loves the

283
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:04.079
I think he's talking to you.
And now that loud whisper has become Homer's

284
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.680
default comedy voice. You're right,
Yeah, except that sounded more like something

285
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.920
else. I don't know what I'm
becoming when I do, and he is

286
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:18.880
holding off his hand to the microphone
because I'm very good at Udio doing visual

287
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.599
gags for do you You're right?
Yeah, that it has become a thing,

288
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.039
hasn't it? Now? Trait Homa
does it more and more often now?

289
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.599
Yeah, and you know it worked
a treat with mister Thompson. I

290
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:34.720
love that. Yeah, I think
I'm whispering, but I'm not saying the

291
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.599
quiet part loud, yeah, which
you know has become a thing. I

292
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.240
mean, so many people, so
many stories that I edit will have someone

293
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:47.799
say, someone says that the quiet
part loud today? Not really? All

294
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.200
right? Your next question, Oh, did I authority just gave you one?

295
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.559
Or no, you just gave me
one? I answered that correctly.

296
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.279
When is James L. Brooks's birthday? Oh? I've got it in my

297
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.440
notes, I know, I look
it up, and I don't look it

298
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.640
up. I'm gonna try and guess. Is it July ninth? It's May

299
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.519
night? May ninth, and it
was a nine damn nearly May, and

300
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.200
I may the When did the note? When did the Star Wars movies come?

301
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.119
It? May twenty something, didn't
it? They always dropped on May

302
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.200
twentieth or something not made the fourth
I always dropped like May something though.

303
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:21.680
Let's look a Phantom Menace release date? Or was it the May nineteenth Fantom?

304
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:22.559
How do fuck what? I know? I think it's the twenty ninth

305
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:27.039
of May list because there's a movie
that actually is called it was dropped May

306
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.839
nineteenth. Okay, yeah, how
the fuck does my brain remember shit like

307
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.880
that? But I can't remember what
I did yesterday with the kids? Yeah,

308
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:40.440
our brains. I remember the release
date of the Phantom Menace. Our

309
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.720
brains are weird creatures. Oh,
I really am anything, but I can

310
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.640
remember anything like pre this year.
I'm fine with. My short term memory

311
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.640
is absolutely shot. Just kids,
mate, I blame the Internet and kids.

312
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.400
Yeah, and YouTube things, just
attention spans. So you're watching YouTube

313
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.440
and it's like you're watching a video, But how often now are you watching

314
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.880
TV? Before you pull your phone
out and you realize you're your phone in

315
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.200
your hand, You're like, what
am I doing? I'm not even watching

316
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:04.319
this? What am I doing?
Will they talk about this? I mean

317
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.359
the streaming service in particular, talk
about seconds green syndrome where it's like,

318
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.119
you know, we don't want to
we want to have engagement on both things.

319
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:15.599
I mean, so you know you'll
be texting, hey, I'm watching

320
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.039
this new thing on Netflix or tweeting
about it. Tweeting about it, yeah,

321
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:23.599
yeah, while it's going. I
mean, I'm as guilty as the

322
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.279
next person. I mean, I
started watching the show on Netflix last night,

323
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.200
really enjoying it, but of course
had to break the phone out and

324
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.039
say, hey, I'm watching the
show and it's pretty good. Well,

325
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:33.880
what are you like when you're sitting
there with Louise? Right, So,

326
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.880
when I'm sitting there watching a show
of Nikola and she pulls her phone out,

327
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:38.720
it kind of annoys me, like
are you watching it? Because I'm

328
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.079
just like, am I sitting here
by myself watching this show? Would you

329
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.039
rather me just go? I can
go do something else because I'm watching this

330
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:47.119
schoo I want to watch it with
you. But she's sitting there looking at

331
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.559
a phone, scrolling through Instagram,
and I'm like, you're clearly like you're

332
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.240
listening to it, but you're not
watching it. I'm just like the whole

333
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.400
idea of and I know it's like, oh, you know, at least

334
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.039
you're together on the couch and sort
of like the lovely moments, but it's

335
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:03.359
like you're not there though. I
get where you're coming from, but I

336
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:04.279
don't know I mean, Lou and
I do this as well. It will

337
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.519
be occasions when we're you know,
the stuff that we watch is generally does

338
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.599
require one hundred percent of your attention, but you know, we'll have occasions

339
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.920
where we're both sort of doing a
little bit of scrolling looking up, a

340
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.319
little bit scrolling looking up, and
yeah, occasually making out. I hate

341
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:25.160
it though, especially the making out. I hate it. It's the all

342
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.960
right, I don't have any more
trivia questions? You have any one more

343
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.279
for me? Uh No, I
don't. I mean, And here's the

344
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.240
thing I sort of came up with
a lot of which I think is a

345
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.519
sign of not a good episode,
where it's kind of like, I bet

346
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.480
I could stump into this as opposed
to being involved in the episode. I'll

347
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.079
try and stop you with another date
to one then all right, Oh okay,

348
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.599
so what is July third? Oh, it would be it would be

349
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.079
like Nephew's Day. No, it
would be like January third for us weatherwise.

350
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.640
Oh okay, the hottest day of
the year or air condition Appreciation Day.

351
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.000
It's a nice warm day here in
Sunday, jam is. Yeah,

352
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.759
the weather's just turned itself on,
hasn't it. It has. Look we

353
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.880
had yes yesterday was Melbourne Cup Day. I was spoken. I spoke about

354
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.079
this on our friends podcast. Right
still I know who won it slightly,

355
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.880
I don't care anymore. Slight little
detour though, and we'll get to the

356
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.720
review of the episode. So you're
doing some cross promoting. That's pretty savvy.

357
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.000
Yeah, but Nicol and I went
out for breakfast yesterday. Shit the

358
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:19.640
day off right because she works in
Melbourne, so it's in Melbourne office.

359
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.160
She works in gel long for as
the weak Melbourne office, Melbourn Cup day

360
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.319
off right to the day af together
went out for breakfast. What is this

361
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.400
horseship? And we weren't trying to
work out when did businesses and who was

362
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.559
the first business to sort of establish
this concept and everyone just went with it.

363
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.720
Charging fifty percent extra on public holidays. This has become a thing now,

364
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:38.519
is true? Where they go for
should we go to chuge it?

365
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.599
Why? Okay, can you tell
me why? Because the guy yesterday we

366
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.559
went to a place we won't name
in the place right, It's like,

367
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.599
I just like you, it's fifty
public holiday. I'm like, let us

368
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.119
not though in Geelong and he goes
yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like,

369
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:53.960
so, I know it's public hol
day in Melbourne, but not in

370
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.400
Gelong. So and he's like,
oh, we we didn't do it for

371
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.039
Geelong Cup. And I'm like,
you mean you didn't do it on the

372
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.960
Geelong Cup public clan? You're full
of shit? You know, I like

373
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.720
you one hundred percent did But like, when did this start? And why

374
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.720
are we allowing them to get away
with it? I don't I was,

375
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:14.799
so I stand by it is absolute
horseshit that just because I know a businesses

376
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.480
are struggling right now, but just
the whole making us pay the extra?

377
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.759
Fuck them. You started a business. This is part of running a business.

378
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:23.240
You make more money on public colities. Is people off work? They're

379
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.359
at your fucking place spending their money. You make more money, therefore you

380
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.880
pay the fucking work is more money? Right? This whole making the customer

381
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.160
pay the extra adds bullshit to me. I'm not a fan of at all.

382
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.559
He's certainly not happy, and yeah, I agree with him. Why

383
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.079
should I compare it to the tip
system in the US? Oh god,

384
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.480
the tip system? Look what,
so we have to pay a tip because

385
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.920
you guys aren't paying the proper wages? Correct? Yeah, and look on

386
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:53.319
occasions, I don't mind that when
you get good service. But the last

387
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.240
time that Lunar were in the States, you know, most of the time

388
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.000
you're going into some canter jockey,
you're let not even talking to them.

389
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.000
It's like punch your order into the
end of the touch screen. Here,

390
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.640
it's just an expectation. Do you
want to add a twenty percent tip?

391
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.200
I'm like, for what I went
to we went when I went out with

392
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:11.480
with Matt and Phil and Melbourne,
that right right, everywhere we went to

393
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.839
expected a tip. And I'm like, don't you motherfuckers try and weasel this

394
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.599
into our system. It ain't happening. You get paid enough at your Melbourne

395
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:23.920
fucking restaurant. I know you're getting
paid enough. I'm just a pole podcast.

396
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:27.880
Yeah, but I was just like, fifty percent get stuffed. Yes,

397
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.519
now you're correct, particularly as you
said. I mean, it wasn't

398
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.119
even a poppy cold angel along.
Yeah it's Melbourn. Yeah it's Melbourne.

399
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.359
I know a lot of Melbourne people
are moving to Geelong, but still it's

400
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.359
not. As soon as I ask
him about it, it was like,

401
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.759
oh no, no anyway, So
the original day of this episode was December

402
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.640
seventeenth, two thousand and six,
so I'm assuming it'd be probably the second

403
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.799
last episode, maybe the last episode
for two thousand and six. Let's look

404
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:53.680
it up, shall we. Let's
go down to the next episode, The

405
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.720
Wife Aquatic, which originally aired in
January. This is the last episode of

406
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.240
two thousand and six. I did
at least ad aman Chrismas time, but

407
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.000
it was especially Christmas. It was. It was It's kind of like die

408
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.480
Hard. You know, you said
Die had a Christmas movie because it's set

409
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.279
at Christmas, but there's not much
Christmasy about it besides the fact of the

410
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:11.759
Christmas party at the start and he
puts the Christmas head on the eye.

411
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.680
Yes, that's pretty much it.
But you watched the Christmas because it was

412
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.359
set at Christmas. This was set
at Christmas at the beginning and at the

413
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:19.440
very end, but it's not a
Christmas episode. And at the end they

414
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.440
played let it snow, let us
not at Yeah, does that to find

415
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.519
a Christmas movie? Though? I
don't think it really does. Like it's

416
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.279
just fun to say it is for
life, not for Christmas. And again,

417
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.480
as I always say, I mean, if you're gonna call Die had

418
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.039
a movie you got to call lethal
weapon of Christmas movie. Yeah, it's

419
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:37.640
like Gremlins. To me is a
Christmas movie. The whole thing is set

420
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.680
at Christmas. It's just Christmas snadi. It's a horror movie, but it

421
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.799
has the Christmas vibe to it throughout
the entire thing. Yes, but this

422
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.599
episode was written by Jeff Westbrook and
directed by Bob Anderson. Now, funnily

423
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:51.359
enough, do you know this episode
right? We haven't been high on it.

424
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:52.400
Not the worst episode of all time, but just not high on it.

425
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.480
It actually won an award. It
won the Writer's Guild of America Award

426
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.279
for Best Animated Program, And I
was like, really, there must have

427
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.960
been some weak entrance that year,
like this is this is nowhere near the

428
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.559
best episode of season eighteen even review. Do they call that, mister burns

429
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.640
of Wood, you know, achievement? Yeah, it sounds like what a

430
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.039
god? That a participant medal?
But this this one wasn't as good as

431
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.920
like ice Cream of Marjorie or who
Hoarde Couple? I don't think so,

432
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.079
no, no, not at all. But yeah, so it was the

433
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.039
Captain chop Boar gag. We had
a chopball gag this week Franklinsons is not

434
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.680
a monster, and the catch gig
was one where they jumped to the couch

435
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:32.119
pan out and they're inside a Christmas
ball. But I just really enjoyed the

436
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:34.960
opening segment here, the opening like
intro, so I've got to here the

437
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.400
opening sequence. This is all written
on the wiki page for those of you

438
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.440
who haven't actually watched the episode,
this is what happens. It's redesigned in

439
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.960
the Christmas style, not counting the
trust for a Treehouse of Horror episodes.

440
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.200
Is this only the second time they've
done this. The theme changes that the

441
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.000
whole town is now covered in white
snow. The other changes include the likes

442
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.079
of Homer running to the right as
opposed that left with mister Burns dresses,

443
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.200
Ebone's a scrooge, and Miss Smith
is dressed as the ghost of Jacob Marley.

444
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.799
Yes signs no bonuses, Merry Christmas, no bonuses, yes, which

445
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:06.039
I thought was good. Jasper is
standing where the late bleeding Gums Murthy would

446
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:07.960
normally stand. Yeah, because he
was because when they did the original intro,

447
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:11.680
Bleeding Gums were still alive. So
they've this and they never changing the

448
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.400
intro, but they've updated it for
Jasper. In the quick pan across Springfield,

449
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.920
mord Flanders can still be seen alive. Bart's skateboard is replaced with the

450
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.400
snowboard. Marge and Maggie's grocery and
car scenes have been cut out, which

451
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:22.799
was a kind of a weird cut. It's like, if you're going into

452
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:27.079
all this trouble, why you shortened
it? And everyone is in Christmas attire,

453
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.160
which goes with the catch gave of
them being in the ornament. Now.

454
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.759
The title of the episode killed Bill, Killed Gill's volume one and two

455
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:40.160
obviously planning kill Bill Apparently in Ah
where was it? It was like Spain

456
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:45.960
or something. The kill Gill is
actually like the their translation for yeah,

457
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.640
I didn't know that. Yeah,
it might be Spanish, but was somewhere

458
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:55.640
where it was and yeah. So
the episode kicks off with Krusty Christmas on

459
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.799
Ice? Have you ever been to
like a Christmas on Ice? I'm about

460
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.960
to ask you who have been to
an asking? I don't think I have.

461
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:02.400
I've never been to any ice show
ever. Even when I was in

462
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.119
America, we went to like state
like shows that this awesome kick ass linking

463
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:08.000
show which wasn't a nice but it
was animal kindom. But I've never been

464
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.759
to an ice show. I've got
this weird feeling that I have been to

465
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.480
one, but I can't remember exactly
where it went. It's like, I

466
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.160
know I've seen a lot of them
on screens, but I get the feeling

467
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.880
I've actually been to one in person. Yeah, I can't recall, for

468
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.640
the life of me the details of
it, but I kin't of much my

469
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.000
kids really caring that much to sit
through like two hours of Disney characters just

470
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:30.720
skating around. Yeah, I mean, I think you'd have to have a

471
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.000
really good seat, and probably it
would be the opposite of a normal thing

472
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:37.119
where it's like, oh ring sad
seats. It's like you're not going to

473
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:38.200
say much. But if you've got
those blood seats, you're like, oh

474
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.640
wow, they're doing a pinwheel or
something like that. They're normally doing it

475
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:48.200
like Rod Dave Verena. I think, yes, it begins, Hey stop

476
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.200
that podcast, and there's Our neighbors
are rambunctious, to say the least.

477
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.640
I didn't close the window there,
so be Chrusty keeps falling over when he

478
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:56.839
comes out. Are they we are
high because we are busty? I was

479
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.720
like, eh, I just kind
of thinking that when they said it,

480
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.240
Christ keeps falling overwy laughing at old
man's pain. But this is really all

481
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.599
that funny, you know, the
rib which comes out the Ribbert Matrix,

482
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.440
pougy I've got to kick out of
very my two thousand and six. I

483
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:12.359
guess the gag is that it's meant
to be out of date sort of.

484
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.599
This would I was introduced in like
two thousand have just kept the same cat

485
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.640
because we're not buying any costume.
That's the thing. You've just you've you

486
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.880
missed the boat or you're sticking with
the same old, same old. Oh

487
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.880
yeah, by when did the last
Matrix come out two thousand and Well,

488
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:29.200
the new ones came out in two
thousand and three because there was like a

489
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.839
four year gap, wasn't it.
They came out like months I think apart

490
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:34.480
months or a year apart, now
only two months apart. Weren't they really

491
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:44.519
reloaded? And I'm pretty sure Matrix
reloaded release date was May fifteenth, and

492
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.640
Revolutions was the third one, is
that right? Revolutions? So May fifteenth,

493
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:49.960
two thousand and three, twenty seventh
Gotober two thousand and three. Oh

494
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:52.880
okay, So what's that June,
July, August, September, October,

495
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:59.480
six months apart, which was a
ballsy concept. It was, yeah,

496
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.400
but it's how you know popular The
original matrix was, It's like, people

497
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.680
are gonna want one matrix, let's
give them, give them to both barrels.

498
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.000
And you watch that third when you're
like, oh, you can just

499
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.960
you can feel the air just deflating
out of the tides, like gonna make

500
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:18.559
it, gonna make it. Look
to the finish line. This this was

501
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:23.759
one movie, like one one perfect
movie and one yeah, and one should

502
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:30.920
have been a long imperfect sequel.
Having said that, I mean, I

503
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.640
think I've got a I think the
lovely lou is taking a weekend away to

504
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:40.000
sit neey with her daughter, which
means it's share, which means Guy's doing

505
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.640
to sit on the crouch and his
undies. So regular Tuesday pretty much.

506
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:48.440
Yeah, thank you for dragging me
away from undepends termed Dan do outside the

507
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:57.079
guy's ass has his own congressman with
his reaching broom. I love through bet

508
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:02.119
on the kitchen table. Where's my
reaching broom? But I think I might

509
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:04.519
have a yes, a trilogy day
where it's either Lord of the Rings.

510
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.240
But I'm to watch it every year. Now it's been a while. Novely

511
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.319
watch it every Christmas. Well,
now I've got a girlfriend and it's like,

512
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:17.079
you're spending boxing now with me.
Well that's implied. That's a lot

513
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:22.680
of the rings. No, wedla, a lot of the rings. So

514
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:26.920
I married a dorg anyway, But
I thought it's been a one since I

515
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:29.839
watched all three Matrix movies. Even
though there are four, I haven't watched

516
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.519
the second or third in I reckon
fifteen years if not more. Well,

517
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.960
I think I love the first one. Yeah, I'm thinking maybe it's time

518
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:38.559
to give all three a whirl again. But yeah, Matrix Poochy. But

519
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:42.519
it's not a trilogy anymore was a
day. That's true. It's a quadrilogy.

520
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:45.279
It's a quartete. You watch that
fourth one, you're like, ah,

521
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:52.359
oh, yeah, we didn't really
need this. It's okay, it's

522
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.759
fine. It's got some interesting ideas. I don't know, I don't know,

523
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.079
but yeah we had Matrix Poochy and
then who comes out? But yeah,

524
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.000
Saicho Mal who has just got off
the plane from his father's funeral.

525
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:06.039
And I was like, well that's
just sad. It's like that, don't

526
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:07.400
make me feel bad for mel this
is gonna be a Christmas episode. You've

527
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.319
already made me feel We've already laughed
at an old man's pain. You made

528
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:12.599
fun of a guy getting off the
plane from his day's funeral. I'm like,

529
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.759
this is not a good start for
a Christmas episode. Not really,

530
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.119
No, no, let me get
a guest appearance from himself, Alvis Stoico.

531
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.960
Indeed who I thought? Real person
that I looked up, real person,

532
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.279
real figure skater, not gay,
not gay. No girlfriend of Vancouver,

533
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:29.200
which, although is made up a
city. Well that's true, that's

534
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:30.880
true, but also not gay because
exactly married to a woman in real life,

535
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:37.559
Elva Steiker was so handsome he can
laces up my skates anytime. Don't

536
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.960
you Haggs know that all male figure
skaters are twinkly in the LUTs. That's

537
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.680
a common misconception. I have a
girlfriend in Vancouver, made up girlfriend,

538
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.799
made up city. Now, speaking
of not gay, you know what I'm

539
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.720
confused about. Someone who or someone
who is gay is Patty. She's come

540
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.440
out as gay. Why did she
find him attractive? And like, oh

541
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.720
he's so handsome and he's like,
hey, you brought You need to understand

542
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.519
he's not, he's not available.
It's like she's I understand you can be

543
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.400
gay and still appreciate, but it's
like the way they implied this was that

544
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:09.200
there was like the old classic Patty
and Summer gone, ooh, that mcguy

545
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:13.079
was so hot. That's the kind
of stick this was going for. It

546
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.200
wasn't the like some was saying.
It would have been fine, but Patty,

547
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.599
it just felt weird. I guess, yeah, we've established here that

548
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:24.119
she is the out character. Yes, I guess they wanted any reason to

549
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:29.839
throw in a gay gag. Of
course they didn't, And but they went

550
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:35.000
about the screens Christmas besides flamboyance cat
wait mean to say flamboyance that's our code

551
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.480
word now? Who came up as
saying as gay as Christmas? I don't

552
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.880
know is it still said? Had
someone saying about three months ago. I

553
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:45.079
was like, I'm not sure we'll
had to say that anymore. The guy

554
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:49.680
he's his gay as Christmas? And
I was like, hmmm, yeahstive family

555
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.160
fun it does. That's the thing
I mean, I probably wasn't saying back

556
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:57.160
when gay meant merry and happy as
opposed to yeah, okay, it's a

557
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.880
new meaning or it's not even new
meaning. It's been It's means for a

558
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:06.319
while. But you know, they
had the kids skating there and Homo says

559
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:07.279
to Lisa, if I paid for
skating lessons, they could have been you.

560
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.079
And yep, that just set off
the whole trend of him just being

561
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:15.039
a douche bathe This entire episode essentially
pretty much Yep, Crusty email A performing

562
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:17.559
what the Nutcracker whatever whatever it was
that it's a song from The Nutcracker.

563
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.079
Anyway, that's what you know.
When they did that Christmas episode last year,

564
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:27.160
which was awesome, Christimpson's Christmas Stories
and they had the final seven which

565
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.480
was all based to this song.
Correct, I love that? So the

566
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:30.960
Nutcracker Sweet? I believe sweet?
Is it? Okay? Yeah? But

567
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:34.599
this is probably be one of my
favorite moments where it falls down, Oh

568
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.640
shut up, you knew the deal. Then the grumple he's stealing the holiday

569
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.319
cheer home. We're scared of the
Grumble. Then we get I guess it's

570
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.960
Frosty the Snowman, Candy, Kevin
and Grumble. They all beat up the

571
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:49.880
Utah Jaz because they're trying to take
over the arena to play a basketball game

572
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.880
in an hour or so, and
Homer beats up the Grumble and yeah,

573
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.599
I just I was just not sold
on this Grumple. I just don't know

574
00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:01.079
how, because apparently the Simpsons episodes
go through rewrite after rewrite after rewrite though,

575
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.240
and I get they're working on the
movie at this point, but how

576
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.360
does this story get through that many
rewrites? People go, yep, let's

577
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:09.360
stick with it. I don't know, but I mean, this is one

578
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:15.400
of those things that had like a
relatively quick fix where it's just Homer showing

579
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:19.400
irrational fear of the Grumple, and
but Marge saying something like, oh,

580
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.079
the Grumples not real, it can't
or oh Homer again with the Grumple,

581
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:27.599
you know, like it's an ongoing
thing that he's perpetually scared of the Grumble

582
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.920
Sark puppets. Yeah, pretty much. And yeah, that sort of sets

583
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.239
up the fact that you know,
he's going to be haunted by the Grumple

584
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:35.840
all the way through the episode.
That's my thought. And it's always just

585
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:37.880
like that, could you see him? And then they look and he's not

586
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:38.960
there? Yeah, and so is
Homer imagining this or is he not?

587
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:43.280
Yeah, it's like it's just a
kind of costume. It's not much that

588
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:46.199
would have been funnier, you know. So then we're at Constanton's and everyone's

589
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:51.000
shopping for their family, late night, late shopping Christmas Eve apparently, Oh

590
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:52.880
that's true. Yeah, yeah,
everyone's shopping on Christmas Eve. We mean

591
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.360
to the last night. It used
to be a great thing. It's gone,

592
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:58.920
mate, I was talking about it. Maybe it's about on this podcast.

593
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:00.800
I'm not sure about Marcus Square.
One of my favorite memories of Market

594
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:05.480
Square is Christmas Eve going out with
Mum and picking up the Christmas presents from

595
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.079
like all the various places, and
its just being pumped and playing Christmas songs

596
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:12.320
and everyone's just happy. It's fucking
ten thirty on Christmas Eve. A good

597
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.760
time, no one. Yeah,
you're not getting static from anybody. It

598
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.039
was like some people just hanging out
there. We're all here for the same

599
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:21.480
thing. Yeah, let's try and
make this as quick and painless as possible.

600
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.800
Hey, Merry Christmas to you,
all that kind of stuff. Now

601
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.039
we're just sort of, you know, sitting on the doorstep waiting for the

602
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:31.039
Amazon prime guard or what's exciting though
it is it is. It's nice when

603
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:35.480
you're tracking your Amazon. It could
be here tomorrow. Yeah. It's like

604
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.159
yeah, like Zuckerberg at the end
of social network, just hitting refresh,

605
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:42.880
refresh, refresh on your Amazon.
On your Australian posting, it's like,

606
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:45.639
yeah, when it comes up,
it's coming today, It's like, oh

607
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:52.679
what I am now my postman for
I think it's Australian Post. Australian Post

608
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:58.280
Jeremy Jessa. I don't know him, and it was just like I'm like,

609
00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:59.599
onto the sign and thing. He's
like, no, nah, but

610
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:04.920
all good. I've got a surly
guy who is not being friendly, the

611
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.119
same guy for you know, he's
dropping up a lot of stuff lately.

612
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.840
I'm like I need to say anything. No, I'll be sitting ther editing.

613
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:15.400
I hear Brandon package at the door. Bro. He's like a ledge

614
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:17.719
and then I'm just like, well
again he's just like see you, bro.

615
00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:24.400
The funny thing is this man's Irish, but he's just havn't he's his

616
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:27.800
love and life. Like you know, sometimes you see postman, its like

617
00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:30.719
again, I've brought it up some
jobs. I'm like, I would love

618
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:32.639
to do this just for six months, yes, bringing the joy to people,

619
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:37.199
delivering their packages mail, No,
Yeah, but delivering the Santa all

620
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:39.960
year round, yeah, it'd be
so much fun. No one, No

621
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:45.199
one's unhappy to see the post,
the package delivery person. So many people

622
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:49.239
left where we used to work when
they worked in the warehouse, like seven

623
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:51.440
to one trot or to work for
Star Trek. They're like, I'm going

624
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:53.239
to deliver shit, and I'm like, good on you. I mean,

625
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:57.199
I don't know. If you're an
independent contractor, I guess you'd probably have

626
00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.199
to pay for your own petrol,
maintenance, all that kind of stuff.

627
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:02.440
I don't wouldn't be independent. Yeah, but there were many Amazon's independent,

628
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:05.039
A lot of them now, aren't
they. I think so? Yeah,

629
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:10.800
they're always looking at cutcosts. Yeah, friend of the pot Amazon. Yeah.

630
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:14.880
Imagine if you're working for a straight
post, which in Star Trek is

631
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:16.199
a straight post as well, isn't
it. I have no idea I believe

632
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:20.440
that. Yeah, an affiliate thereof
But yeah, they'd probably pay for your

633
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.519
petrol and all that kind of stuff. Or you do, it's just groove

634
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.880
round in your van A stilly dan
there got a little suddenly. I'm stopping

635
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:29.760
off to get a couple of dim
sem bottle of coke and bow months pie

636
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:35.719
and then dry on the seat.
One of the fondest memories I have of

637
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.719
my old gig when I was working
at the street paper down here Forte was

638
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:43.840
every fort I love the orde referred
to as the street paper. No,

639
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:45.960
it's not bad. It is the
street paper. It's always like that's what

640
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:51.800
it is, is like the street
paper fourteen remember street papers A little context,

641
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:55.320
right, yes, yes, but
every fortnight, this was the nineties,

642
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.000
I get an extra fifty bucks cash
to get in the van with another

643
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:05.960
person and deliver it. You know, we'd get our Fortnit's copies bundled up.

644
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.039
It's like, okay, the businesses
and people put it in like the

645
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:13.079
front fours, like the doctor's clinics
and yes, so it was yeah,

646
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.480
cafes, clubs, pubs, et
cetera. And there we was. We

647
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:21.280
had two vans. One would go
around the Geelong and the Surf Coast and

648
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.039
me and this other guy whose name
was Simon. Okay, I mostly did

649
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:27.960
the run with Simon, who was
he ran this record shop. We'd do

650
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:32.920
Ballarat and you know we'd start early
in the morning. You'd get a coffee.

651
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:35.840
I was still smoking cigarettes to that
stage, so you don't have a

652
00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:37.719
coffee and a fag, and so
you're getting paid your hour of the red

653
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.039
plus fifty dollars on top of two
this no, this was just a fifty

654
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:47.039
dollar thing. But how long?
Not all day? It's like fifty dollars

655
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:50.559
then is probably of like one hundred
bucks an hour? Oh pretty much?

656
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:52.599
Ye? Yeah? Yeah, I
mean I was like this is this is

657
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:55.800
all right? But you know you're
playing good music. You just you're dropping

658
00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:01.800
off, dropping off that tissue,
picking up the old ones. It was

659
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:07.639
such a great time. Yeah,
I'm picture it now, Like you said,

660
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:12.719
Dimmy's from the Servommies, from the
server where were getting lunch from?

661
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.239
Oh there's that cafe in in.
I love when you find like a milk

662
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:19.559
buddy ever been before and you're like, I'm gonna try the dimmies and it's

663
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:24.840
oh my god. Anyway, enough
reminiscing, Yeah, enough reminiscing. So

664
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:30.079
christmasp if everyone's shopping, that's right. So Quimby's buying clothes for his wife

665
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:35.199
and he's mistress mistress. I did
like the the wife's size and mistresses.

666
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:38.320
Mister Burns buy is the gift for
Philip, which it was a weird dag

667
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:42.159
who is Philip? We never seen
him again? No, No, I

668
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.079
mean it's on one. On one
hand, that's a very obvious gag.

669
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.119
He's like, oh, well,
he's got a bromance going with this guy

670
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.239
who was essentially Smithers, and he's
not noticing that Smithers is always there and

671
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.280
that kind of stuff. No,
Smither's a need to advice. Picking at

672
00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:00.679
a gift for a very dear friend
of man, a single fellow, but

673
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:04.239
one with a warm, loyal heart. Well, sir, a fella like

674
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.559
that might have had his eye on
this silver frame. It would go great

675
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:10.639
with his collection of Art deco.
Shut up, shut up, there he

676
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:16.960
is, Hello, Philip, what
are you doing here? Never you mind,

677
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:22.440
mister nosey, are you going to
that string cordet thing? Because I'm

678
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:30.079
not here goopy for that. This
is the classic example of a Season eighteen

679
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.639
version of the well maybe someone's gonna
buy it for you for Christmas? And

680
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:36.079
how goes it? Should be really
surprised when shure and he's an ironboard cover,

681
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.599
someone thinking that gifts for them when
it's not, but then just ruining

682
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:44.800
it by going to and just kept
going and going and going. Well,

683
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:46.840
that's the thing. There's so many
gigs in this that I just let's keep

684
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:51.559
we can work it out. Yeah
yeah, like and the Grumple is the

685
00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:53.239
main example of that. It doesn't
have to talk, it just has to

686
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:58.360
be yeah again again they like mister
Burns just being horrible. Everyone's just horrible

687
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:02.079
in this episode. Yeah yeah,
I'm looking for yeah, and they that's

688
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:05.440
the thing that they, I mean, the Simpsons, I think, sometimes

689
00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:07.840
prides itself on like, oh,
we're gonna zag where other people zig.

690
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:10.199
I mean that's what it sort of
started as it's like all these families,

691
00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:13.239
so it comes to like lovey dovey
and everything like that, and we're a

692
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.719
bit like this is what families are
really like, but we still love each

693
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:20.239
other. Yeah yeah, But for
this episode to be like Christmas time people

694
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:23.800
guess what these people everyone's behaving badly, but at the end we're gonna come

695
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.480
together and everything's going to be good. And it's like, why would Gill

696
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:30.000
be like this when it's like you
just cost him he's one chance to be

697
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:30.880
successful and he's like, Oh,
it doesn't matter, come back to the

698
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:32.760
place and more. Just sing songs
and be happy. I'm like, it

699
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.119
doesn't work. I mean even for
him to say it's like, oh,

700
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:37.760
you know what, I took advantage
of you for so long. I don't

701
00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:40.280
shame on me, or something that
doesn't say that, doesn't say that.

702
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:44.480
That would have been a better ending
for this, rather than have March's ruined

703
00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:47.360
it for Gil, have Gil just
just having meet up with him realized there's

704
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.760
been a success. I wouldn't have
written him out of the show, but

705
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:52.840
it would have been a nice character
shift. I think you have n't be

706
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.079
success with him for a few persodes. Well. When was he introduced.

707
00:41:55.320 --> 00:42:00.320
It was an introduced in the fucking
the last So people always say he's a

708
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:02.960
replacement for like Lionel Huts, right, and he actually appears in the last

709
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:08.079
episode featuring Lionel Huts before Phil Hartman
obviously was taken away from US Realty Bytes

710
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:12.280
where he works at the real which
is why he is based on Glen garryl

711
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.239
I'm not sure you so he came
in season nine, Okay, so he's

712
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.760
been around for a while nine years. Yeah. Yeah, And again as

713
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.119
we said, I mean, look, he's a gag that's good and fun,

714
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:24.199
but I mean he's not necessarily irreplaceable. And I get the feeling he's

715
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:27.239
been around long enough for this stage. Was like, let's give him a

716
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:31.480
graceful as let's send Gill out on
a w Yeah, no, but no

717
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:37.960
deal. Well, but what good
old Shadow bring you for Christmas? Soon?

718
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:42.239
I wanted Dirk bike one of those
video game chairs that vibrate. Dad,

719
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.280
he's not the real Sandra. We
can't afford that stuff. Shut up,

720
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:53.280
shut up, shut up. I
better go after him. What are

721
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:55.719
your thoughts on Kernini's son. We've
had this a few times and it's just

722
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:59.199
it's one of those logic gaps where
I'm just like, I find it so

723
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.119
confusing. When you've seen Keernie's dad
as well. In the episode of The

724
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.800
Home of they form one of the
guys beating up Homer at the bar.

725
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.280
It's like, this doesn't make sense
anymore. Yeah, I've never got it.

726
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:10.840
I don't think it's particularly funny.
It's not funny, is it?

727
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.280
The for a one time gag?
Maybe the whole I sleep in the drawers,

728
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:17.480
like, eh, one time,
I forget about it. But to

729
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:21.320
be going on with to make it, it's just confusing to me. It

730
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.360
is. It is very confusing.
But then Lisa's turn for to tell Santa

731
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:27.599
what she wants and what do you
want? Well? Peace? What No?

732
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:31.039
I like that. It's like even
Lisa's like, I do want that,

733
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:34.920
yes, but it's Christmas time.
I want I want presents, but

734
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:39.159
she wants the sold out Malibu Stacey
Pony Beach party with sparklesand and Gil realizes

735
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:43.079
I sold you know there's one out
back. I'll go get it for you.

736
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.800
And then did you see the sign? Yeah? Yeah, Santa's making

737
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.519
presents. Just sitting on the toilet. I was like, that's good,

738
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:53.880
that's not bad. I like it. Thank you, thank you, thank

739
00:43:54.000 --> 00:44:00.519
you. You're reeling. Made my
daughter's Christmas well her smile, I made

740
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:08.559
mine. Mark's your freak boot fronts
over here now, mister Costington, sir,

741
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:10.800
I'm glad I had this chance to
talk to you. I've been on

742
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:15.000
the payroll here since May, and
I'd really like to start working in ladies

743
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.559
shoes. Not literally, of course. I couldn't walk very fast, though,

744
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:21.519
I'd learn if that's what it takes. Never mind not Now, did

745
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:25.519
you sell the Malibu s tasty set? I put aside that was for you,

746
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:37.440
it was for my daughter. You. I won't mind dy no good

747
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:45.039
back that toy. Gee, I'm
sorry, sir, taken back that Dow

748
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:49.119
would break a little girl's heart at
Christmas even. I made a lot of

749
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:52.559
mistakes in my life, but I
would never do that. Well, then

750
00:44:52.800 --> 00:45:07.760
you're for but I, oh,
you poor man? Fired on Christmas Eve?

751
00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:12.840
Why don't you have dinner with us
tonight? Please? Santa? Well,

752
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:15.840
let me check the bus schedule here, you get it, make a

753
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:20.400
transfer there? Well, I could
be there by two am. We'll give

754
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:23.440
you a ride. That's swell.
Could you swing by my ex wife's place.

755
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:28.239
I want her to see me riding
in a car. I didn't like

756
00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:31.440
this right because Lisa's standing there and
at the end she's like, oh you

757
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:34.760
poor man. I know they try
and make it. She's not paying attention,

758
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:37.800
but I'm like, you're there,
my note. Maybe give the toy

759
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:40.880
back, Lisa. Yeah, like
you've realized he's been fired because you've got

760
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:45.039
the toy and your first thought is, oh, poor guy, how haven't

761
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:49.360
you just give the toy back?
You know, on this mistake. This

762
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:53.880
whole episode's finished. It's all problem
solved. We just could killed Gill volume

763
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:59.000
one, Yes, exactly. Do
you think that Costington is a play on?

764
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.559
Was his name bust Nass from Phantom
Menace B But I think it's more

765
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:10.119
just I mean, the vibe I
get from Costington's is very and this ties

766
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:14.199
him with the Christmas thing, very
Miracle on thirty fourth Street, and they've

767
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:19.000
got the the apartment stores, and
certainly in old movies, like the original

768
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:21.760
Miracle on thirty fourth Street, you
know, they're usually run by big,

769
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:27.000
blustery gentlemen. I love the nineties
remake of that. It was really sweet.

770
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:30.639
It was yeah, rich Richard Attenborough, Richard and Matilda and you watching

771
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:35.679
it and when you watch you're like, is he the real Sander? It's

772
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:37.559
one of my favorite stories. Miracle
on thirty four I like the original black

773
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.480
and white version, and I think
the remake is actually pretty darn good.

774
00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:44.119
And the story just being there.
It's just the spirit of Christmas. You

775
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.199
know, everyone believes, and it's
just like they never try and like dumb

776
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:49.320
it down where they make you think, oh no, here's the real sand

777
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:52.119
But it's like it makes you want
to believe is he that? Yeah,

778
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:54.320
it's a it's a great story.
Plus the guy from the Practice, what's

779
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:57.559
his name, Dylan mcdomal, yah, Dylan Dermot. He's great in the

780
00:46:57.599 --> 00:46:59.920
film as well. He's good.
I'm a big fan of Dylan McDermott.

781
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:00.840
Do you I have never watched The
Practice. My mom used to love it.

782
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:02.920
I've never watched it, and Nicole
and I are looking for another like

783
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.280
lawyer firm show is I'm gonna ask
guy, is it worth watching the Practice?

784
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:09.000
Yeah? Absolutely, I mean that's
that's David E. Kelly who sort

785
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:15.239
of specializes Bill did Allen mcbill.
And the thing about the practice is Boston

786
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:19.079
Legal as well. Well it it
becomes Boston Legal because at the same Yeah,

787
00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:22.159
because it starts as the Practice,
and then I think Dylan McDermott might

788
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:24.760
have either had some contract negotiating.
He's like, well, I'm not playing

789
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:28.760
this lead anymore, and they're like, well, we need to bring in

790
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:32.119
another character to sort of round things
out, and they got James Spader to

791
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:35.920
play sure, and he was such
a hit. So it's the same business,

792
00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:39.360
same or it's the same story.
It's it's sort of you know how

793
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:44.079
we had the same vibe we had
that talk about extended universes versus this is

794
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:50.039
extended universe stuff. Because Alan Shaw
joins the firm that the Bobby Donald was

795
00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:55.000
running del mcurmott del mcdmmott, and
then he goes and works for the Boston

796
00:47:55.039 --> 00:48:02.280
firm or another firm kind of like
the Chicago the Order and Shorts and Chicago

797
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:06.000
p D or whatever it is.
I've never seen any of those Chicago shows.

798
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:07.400
I watched the Chicago because they did
a crossover once and I was like,

799
00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:10.440
I don't really like this guy.
And then we watched the first few

800
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:13.960
episodes of the of the series and
I was like, oh no, you

801
00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:15.320
won me over. And we haven't
gone back to it because we only had

802
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:19.119
the first season of something available on
Amazon at the time or whatever. But

803
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.440
Dick Wolf, Jesus Christ, that's
the hardest working man, second only to

804
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:25.199
Brendan Dan. If only I got
paid Dick Wolf money. Every one of

805
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.239
everyone needs a how many Chicago shows
are there? Because like, Chicago made

806
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:36.239
Chicago p D did a Chicago fight? But was he was he Dick Was

807
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:37.880
it Dick Wolf Chicago Fight? I
think that's a dig Wolf show. Maybe

808
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:40.760
I like saying as one word,
Dick Wolf. It's a great name.

809
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:45.480
But as we said, so Lisa
just just lets him get fired and so

810
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.400
you're just staying there, then offer
him a ride they offer him for dinner,

811
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:51.960
the kind of airplace for dinner maybe
or something. Anyway, they offer

812
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:53.480
him a ride and he says,
drive past my ex wife's so you can

813
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:58.039
see me in a car. Gil
is then invited to stay for Christmas night

814
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.519
and they throw a Grandpa and I'm
like, this is just like me.

815
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.480
Yeah, I mean that your present
is leaving. It's like, this is

816
00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:07.239
like not funny, this is not
this is just not funny at all.

817
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.559
The difference between Homer like Graba being
outside and Hope like closing the blinds all

818
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:15.519
at least that's funny to look at. This is just him saying go home.

819
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:16.920
Your president is leaving. We don't
want you here, but we're gonna

820
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:20.880
have Gill. It's like, yeah, not buying it, not liking it,

821
00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:23.079
but it's Christmas morning now and Gil. This is where we get the

822
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:27.079
side of Gill that we dreaded,
with the side of Gill that we didn't

823
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:29.079
need to see, where he's bought
all his shit in and now I was

824
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:32.519
just taking over the house. Yeah
again now as I say, review what

825
00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:36.639
you've got and what should be.
But I get the feeling it would have

826
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:39.480
been like a funnier side gag if
the stuff sort of gradually built up over

827
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:42.519
time. Yeah, it was too
much at once, wasn't it. Yeah,

828
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:45.880
because then it was just gone the
next scene. So I don't know,

829
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:50.119
it didn't work out that well.
But but the grumples outside, the

830
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:52.840
grumples outside, just show the grumple. Don't have him talking. Yeah,

831
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:59.920
it's stupid. Gill is now cooking
eggs a Harald stats and then explain,

832
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:06.559
Harold is I better did a little
googling on Harold Staarson. He was a

833
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:12.079
politician who unsuccessfully ran for the positions
of mayor, governor, senator, and

834
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:17.960
Republican Party presidential nominee multiple times.
He occasionally was off in political office in

835
00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:23.199
the US during the twentieth century,
but mostly he was known for unsuccessfully running

836
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:30.079
for various public office positions. His
final term was the governor of Minnesota in

837
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:32.199
nineteen forty three, and he passed
away in two thousand and one. Yeah,

838
00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:37.480
but all during the I don't know
until up to his death, but

839
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:39.400
certainly through I think it was up
until the nineties at least he was like

840
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:46.719
Harold Stasen. Weugh me I tell
Clake Trey Parker, but I've just noticed

841
00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:51.159
the note he has yees So.
A studio album by Argentine rock musician Charlie

842
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:53.920
Garcia is named kill Gill, same
as the title of because it's in fact

843
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:59.440
the Spanish world play for kill Bill. I when I was putting together the

844
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:04.280
say putting together, when I was
looking for images for the new names and

845
00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:08.639
for the mailbag for this for this
episode, typed in kill Gil went to

846
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:12.360
images and a whole lot of these
things came up, like what al says,

847
00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:17.199
kill Girl? Simpsons? You have
to put Simpsons sometimes sometimes you do,

848
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:25.559
Yeah, hey, who wants some
eggs? Ala Herald's station? They're

849
00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:36.679
always running. Do you really understand
what that means? Have you ever laughed

850
00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:37.639
at Jake when you didn't get it
and you're like, please don't ask me

851
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:40.440
if I know ye Sometimes you're like
you know this and you're just like,

852
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:43.840
oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like because then they look at you.

853
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:47.760
Fine, You're like, don't ask
any further questions. We're gonna have

854
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:52.519
an unspoken agreement to us. I'm
gonna laugh at your esoteric gag. You're

855
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:55.480
not gonna call me on whether or
not I fully get it. Okay,

856
00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.519
you feel smart, and I've given
you a little validation. Let's just leave

857
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:02.760
it at that. But now we
get Marge says it, you know a

858
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:07.000
bit of Christian charity poet start and
I like that. Play there, play

859
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:09.639
it. Then Marge says she'll she'll
throw them out, and a lot of

860
00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:13.280
markets that don't work. When he's
a parent of kids, you find a

861
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:15.519
lot of these things around the house
because you buy like a pack of texts

862
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:16.760
and they use a text up,
throw the lid away, and it's like,

863
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:22.039
how many fucking texters are in this
house that don't work? I've found

864
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:27.800
myself of late, I've got like
two coffee mugs on my on my desk

865
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:30.960
full of pens. Yeah, and
these pen has been sitting there for a

866
00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:34.679
very long time. But having a
source of pens at your disposal is so

867
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.199
if you're like a king, oh
yeah, but they're always hard to find.

868
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:38.679
So I think it was side for
it a bits like I can't borrow

869
00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:40.800
a pen. You always embarrassed to
ask for a pen. It's like there's

870
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:43.800
more pens than people in this world, but we can never find a pen.

871
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:45.039
Just having a box of pens out, it's just like oh yes,

872
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:47.519
But lately I'm like, oh,
oh, this pen's right, I'm gonna

873
00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:51.039
need a new pen. Time to
grab one from my mug of many pens.

874
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.239
It's dry. This is really dry. This was that like Margaret Mary

875
00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:04.880
Christmas Present, have a pin,
have a big but actually the big classic

876
00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:07.840
fine that I used to take my
notes for this episode was like a little

877
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:14.800
dream listen a Gill. I sort
of fucking you know, get be on

878
00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:19.719
your way by now. Really you
gotta put me out on Christmas Day?

879
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:24.559
Well, that's all right, I
can go down to the men's shelter.

880
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:29.599
I just hope that weird priest with
the ruddy I ain't surf and soup because

881
00:53:29.719 --> 00:53:34.039
they wait, you don't have a
place to live. You're the boom.

882
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:42.719
I guess you don't have to leave
till the holiday's over. Here's the boom

883
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:50.480
been lowered, No Joe. Then
he just throws the guilt chip, and

884
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:52.599
I was like, oh, I
don't want this guy anymore. No,

885
00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:57.519
No, I mean you're gonna throw
me on Christmas Day? Okay, Well,

886
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.480
I guess I'm just gonna have to
go back to where I came from.

887
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:01.840
Say, yeah, you kind of
should. Yeah, I mean we've

888
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:07.719
never seen him sort of weaponizing his
uselessness. That's it before, and for

889
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:09.320
him to do that this time around, it's like, oh wait a minute,

890
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:12.320
Yeah, you are your own worst
enemy. You kind of suck.

891
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:14.840
We've seen him plead for oh please, I need this, I need this,

892
00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:16.920
but not the Oh well, okay, if you throw poor old Gill

893
00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:20.199
out, then I guess I'll have
to go back to where I was before.

894
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:23.159
Yeah, not cool. He's still
there. On New Year's Day,

895
00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:27.920
he's got a New Year's resolution to
move from the couch to the chair because

896
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:30.800
he expecting a call from his boss
at chap Pot Realty in Scottsdale. He

897
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:31.760
wants to take it. He thinks
they're going to ask him to take the

898
00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:35.760
office. Now, I did appreciate
how you just it's meant to be.

899
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:37.199
Oh yeah, sure. Gill's like, that's ever gonna happen, And that's

900
00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:38.880
the way they get him out of
the house. I get the thing.

901
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:40.960
That would have been better if they'd
sort of done the rule of threes with

902
00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:45.719
it as well, or just you
could have had a few good ongoing gags

903
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:49.719
and the like Homer being scared of
the Grumble and Scottsdale being the holy Grail

904
00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:53.039
for for Gill and you know he
mentioned maybe just once or twice more throughout

905
00:54:53.079 --> 00:54:55.679
things like just waiting on that call
from Scott's. Maybe they do mention it

906
00:54:55.840 --> 00:55:00.559
doing this. I don't know,
but he I think because the phone rings

907
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:02.119
a little bit later and it's his
foot doctor that's right, yeah, and

908
00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:06.440
he says that's Godsdale. Yeah,
but he plays up there. I don't

909
00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:07.000
played up, but the bron car
is here, so March was like,

910
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:09.239
I can't throw him out now.
Then we get the transition, so it's

911
00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:13.719
Martin Luther King Day. A weird
cut did you say? The weird editing

912
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.880
here? So it's almost like they
had the shot from like a wide shot

913
00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:21.320
of Gil sitting on the chair reading
the paper, and then it didn't like

914
00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:23.519
zoom in on the paper, but
the headline said Martin Luther King Day Today.

915
00:55:23.519 --> 00:55:25.880
We celebrate him, so we don't
write. But it was just like

916
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:30.400
they got the picture and then realized, oh, we'd have a close up

917
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.239
and have just like cropped it because
the quality of that steal was so blurry,

918
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:37.599
that's right. Yeah. I was
wondering, Yeah, it's like something's

919
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:39.360
not writing. My brain clearly knew, yeah, and I couldn't quite figure

920
00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:42.639
out what it was and said it. Yeah, so it's just the still

921
00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:45.320
shot of the like the chopped the
cropped version of that, of that wide

922
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:46.920
shot. It's just on the screen
for about three or four seconds. He's

923
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:52.199
still need We have to let him
stay. It's what doctor King would want

924
00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:54.719
us to do. Oh, that's
it. We're changing doctors. Please just

925
00:55:54.840 --> 00:56:00.199
a few more days, March.
Admit it. You just can't say no

926
00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:05.000
to anyone. That's why you have
three kids. It's true. I do

927
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:09.599
have trouble saying no. It all
started when I was seven. Mardorie,

928
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:21.360
we need you to hide our cigarettes
in your dollhouse, No, Lorena,

929
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:32.000
anybody. And that's why I have
trouble saying no to people. Even Gil

930
00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:37.639
Merge, I have no idea what
you were just thinking about. Why would

931
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:44.639
you think I did? Hmmm,
they've done this before this, Jake Bett,

932
00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:46.440
Why did you think I could?
And it's like, oh I didn't.

933
00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:51.119
I didn't recall having having heard or
saying that before about Yeah, well,

934
00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:53.440
so basically it's not that as you
said before. They explained the joke.

935
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:57.199
He well, usually it's like home
is visioning something. Everyone's sort of

936
00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:00.840
sitting there going, yeah, is
she okay? That's right. Yeah,

937
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:05.039
saying that, I'm almost certain we've
had a moment where someone's gone, Why

938
00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:07.559
did you think I could see that
you're thinking that, you're not saying that,

939
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:08.960
you're not saying it. Yeah,
but now we're at MOS and home.

940
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:14.400
It's sad he misses UPN now UPN
TV station, right. I only

941
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:15.960
know this because it used to have
the wrestling on it. I think it

942
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:19.320
was smacked down back in the nineties, early two thousand. But asked Homer

943
00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:22.519
if he misses the UPN network now. Since The Simpsons is a series produced

944
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:25.519
by Fox now Disney, Fox only
owned a few UPN stations. The episode

945
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:30.960
aired just over three months after the
network left the air. For some reason,

946
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:32.599
I would think I was confusing the
UPN with the ups which is a

947
00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:37.559
delivery service again unified theory or four
finger discount, because we were talking about

948
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:40.880
delivery services before. Yes, but
UPN was the TV station he's referencing here.

949
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:44.719
But he's annoyed about that as well
as Gill and Carl says, as

950
00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:46.239
you were saying earlier, you have
to allow Mars to throw him out to

951
00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:49.400
assert herself. I thought she'd never
be able to. And I'm like it's

952
00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:52.440
a bit much for us to just
because so she can't throw it, Gill,

953
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:54.199
she'll never be able to assert herself. Like you said, it's just

954
00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:57.760
covering the fact that it's like,
why doesn't have to throw them out?

955
00:57:58.400 --> 00:58:01.519
I've seen you throw at Grandpa about
five minutes, even Lisa or a bug.

956
00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:05.440
Why can't all of them just go
out? You know, It's just

957
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:07.199
it's a really silly story when you
think about it, isn't it. Yeah.

958
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:12.320
I mean it's like it's a good
concept there, but when you think

959
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:14.760
about the execution of it, it
just doesn't make any sense. Yeah,

960
00:58:14.840 --> 00:58:19.199
them just being too nice to for
eleven months. Yeah, that's the thing

961
00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:22.800
too. It was just over the
holiday season when people are generally generous.

962
00:58:23.039 --> 00:58:27.480
Yeah, yeah, and everyone's sort
of using various means to try and get

963
00:58:27.559 --> 00:58:29.880
him out of the house, as
opposed to just like, oh no,

964
00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:35.360
he lives here now man, not
buying it, not feeling it. I've

965
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:38.480
kind of experienced this with a with
a friend of mine who needed a place

966
00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:40.559
to say because he just wasn't going
well. I'm just back when I was

967
00:58:40.599 --> 00:58:44.719
living with my parents, so we
would have been maybe nineteen twenty at the

968
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:45.519
time, and I said, I
you can say, to that place for

969
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:47.880
a week or two, just sort
of get yourself back in your feet,

970
00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:50.960
sort of out with your parents,
blah blah blah. And then he was

971
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:52.880
there for like a year. Oh
my god. I look back now and

972
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:57.280
just like my parents were saints.
They never once asked for any money from

973
00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:00.480
him. They fed him, they
washed his clothes. He stay there for

974
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:02.039
free for a year. I'm like, no, wonder all my friends love

975
00:59:02.119 --> 00:59:06.639
my parents, say my sister.
My sister's friends have always said that they've

976
00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:09.119
always seen my mom as like their
mum because she just welcomes everybody in.

977
00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:13.280
You know. She's like, what
is his friend doing now? I haven't

978
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:15.880
spoken to him for a long time. He's Gil, he got what he

979
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:23.119
wanted and he was out of here, a real estate Kingdin It's we now

980
00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:27.519
have another transition. February second Grand
Hole Day. I thought you would have

981
00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:30.920
liked that Valentine's Day and Marge has
rented that negligee that home of likes the

982
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:36.559
legs going forever, rented the necklace. Yeah, but then gill enters eating

983
00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:39.280
her chocolates and I was like,
oh man, this guy's shit. I

984
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:43.159
don't know, wasn't a fan.
Marge was bad to kick him out,

985
00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:45.599
and then the phone rings and he
thinks it's the Scottsdale Boss, but it's

986
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:47.400
the foot Doctor. I can't tell
him that. And then Homer shows off

987
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:52.280
the butcher shop, which was funny, and it's actually not that he can't

988
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:54.119
close it because he's put on a
ton of weight since he bought it.

989
00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:58.840
Now it's February fifteenth, Susan B. Anthony Day, seventeenth World Human Spirit

990
00:59:58.960 --> 01:00:00.960
Day. I don't know all these
real things or they just thought they were

991
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:07.599
funny, but half armed funny of
them aren't funny. March fourth, Old

992
01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:10.519
Inauguration Day, seventeenth Sir Patrick's Day. He's all singing songs downstairs of all

993
01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:15.360
the losers of Springfield. Crazy cat
Lady Kirk just looks like a bum.

994
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:20.400
And Elep and Elepricorn who then fights
fights the dog and dances on his head

995
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:24.119
and a few seconds to film.
I'm guessing, yeah, weird. April

996
01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:29.320
twenty eighth is Arbor Day. May
eighth is v e Day. May ninth

997
01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:32.079
is James L. Brooks Birthday.
At least that's funny. July third,

998
01:00:32.480 --> 01:00:37.559
Kind Appreciation Day, twenty fourth is
Cousin's Day. July twenty seventh, Jerry

999
01:00:37.639 --> 01:00:40.400
Van Dyke's birthday in Australia. So's
his birthday July twenty sixth, and I

1000
01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:45.000
guess let's look that up. I
don't want to cut the September eighth,

1001
01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:50.360
it's International Literacy Day, and we're
out at school and Gil stolen the kids

1002
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:53.199
lunches, and I'm like, why
are you making these guys? So it's

1003
01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:57.679
impossible to like Gil at this point, right, He's stolen the kids lunches,

1004
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:02.199
what the fuck? And he's given
old nicotine patches, which he then

1005
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:05.760
gives in Nelson because he's trying to
steal his lunch money, and he passes

1006
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:07.800
out. Then another transitions at tab
A twenty fourth National Good Neighbor's Day.

1007
01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:12.639
I thought Flanner should have been on
the picture for that. Yeah, ninth

1008
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:16.039
Columbus Day, thirteenth, World Egg
Day, twenty first Reptile Awareness Day,

1009
01:01:16.440 --> 01:01:20.440
November thirteenth, Gingerbread House Day,
and then November twenty fourth, the day

1010
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:23.880
after Thanksgiving them. We really actually
could look these up. I don't know

1011
01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:25.559
if we want to do it now, but I guess right, I mean,

1012
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:29.559
there are so many let's look up
Reptile Awareness Day. I'm just going

1013
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:31.400
to type that and see if that
comes up with a date. Reptyle Awareness

1014
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:35.079
Day. October twenty first, twenty
fifty. Okay, so what is the

1015
01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:37.440
thing? Yeah? Maybe because there
are so many days, it's kind of

1016
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:38.960
like, hey, guess what today
is such and such to day. I

1017
01:01:39.159 --> 01:01:43.079
know it sounds weird, but it
actually is. It's on the calendar.

1018
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:45.719
World Egg Day is a thing.
Yeah, these apparently are all real.

1019
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:49.719
Our National Good Neighbor Day is September
twentyeighth. These are I say that Taber

1020
01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:52.559
twenty fourth in episode September twenty eighth. Apparently, thanks they're going to have

1021
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:57.119
International Women's So I guess that is
that Joe been that. How ridiculous are

1022
01:01:57.199 --> 01:02:00.880
these that actually days? I guess
yeah. I think they thought it was

1023
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:04.519
funny that it would be like,
there are some ridiculous holidays. We need

1024
01:02:04.599 --> 01:02:07.559
to show the passing of time.
How about we double down on the gag

1025
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:09.639
and, you know, have the
most ridiculous holidays? She show the passing

1026
01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:15.000
of time. Marge's raking LEAs now
though, because it's the death Thanksgiving and

1027
01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:19.039
eleven months he's been there for now, She's still frustrated. Though he's used

1028
01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:22.320
to her leg raise it a pill
carrots, and then ned thanks her for

1029
01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:24.199
the Christmas card, but she hasn't
done a Christmas card yet, and turns

1030
01:02:24.199 --> 01:02:28.199
out he's photoshoped himself over the top
of the family and she gives me a

1031
01:02:28.199 --> 01:02:30.880
photoshopping freak and she says that's enough. Now she's going to go scream no,

1032
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:32.119
and I'm just like that. That's
probably. Would you like, how

1033
01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:36.159
pissed off would you be if someone
made the family Christmas card and put them

1034
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:37.119
stuff on it and didn't tell you
they're doing it? Oh? Quiet?

1035
01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:42.039
Did the davis Has have a Christmas
card? Nah? I thought Margaret Mary

1036
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:43.719
would have been all about it,
just the point you told of me.

1037
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:46.440
Oh no, no, no,
no, But we have American relatives who

1038
01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:52.000
do that. American relatives. Yeah, yeah, My Margaret Mary has a

1039
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:57.360
sister, Denise. Yeah, married
an American gentleman named Wallace, and they

1040
01:02:57.400 --> 01:03:00.559
have two lovely kids, well kids, they're older than me, so they

1041
01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:07.559
are full grown adults. But they're
really really nice people. Uh. And

1042
01:03:07.719 --> 01:03:10.760
my niece Orman, No, my
cousin Carolyn lives in Austin, Texas.

1043
01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:17.159
Got a lot of guns, apparently, my nephew Rory went over to visit

1044
01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:22.360
like we were at shooting. It
was fantastic. But now Karen is fantastic

1045
01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:28.519
and she every year will send a
photo of her, her husband and their

1046
01:03:28.599 --> 01:03:31.679
son. You know, they've sort
of got the Christmas. Christmas sweater is

1047
01:03:31.719 --> 01:03:35.280
not over the top, but it's
like, no, this is Christmas y

1048
01:03:35.320 --> 01:03:38.920
and yeah, an actual card,
an actual card in the mail. Yeah,

1049
01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:43.039
well most people just like emails now, yeah, no, we get

1050
01:03:43.079 --> 01:03:47.159
it like in February. Uh,
but yeah, I notice like it's been

1051
01:03:47.159 --> 01:03:51.840
a great year for us. And
here's what's here's the update. Here's the

1052
01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:55.199
update essentially, like this is is
very American and also very nice. She

1053
01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:58.760
goes to say no to girl,
but he's now gone. He's he's actually

1054
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:01.320
been picked up for a gee in
Scott's. That's right. I just found

1055
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:06.599
my a dumption and I like it. Marge Simpson is gonna say no,

1056
01:04:08.440 --> 01:04:14.960
gil Gil gil Gil's gone back to
Scottsdale. Problems of tender storry? Do

1057
01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:17.480
we have ten CAGs for dinner?
Gil's gone? But I have a no

1058
01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:20.760
inside me that has to come out. Hey Mark, do you want a

1059
01:04:20.840 --> 01:04:28.119
thousand dollars? No? I mean
yes, you're late, don't worry.

1060
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:31.719
I make six of those a year? What the fuck was? Yeah?

1061
01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:38.159
Yeah, don't get it, don't
like it. I make six of these

1062
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:41.119
a year? Really, okay,
so you tell me that I only makes

1063
01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:45.199
six thousand dollars a year. But
they have lived in this house. They

1064
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:49.840
can afford to go to school and
feed and eat and come on, this

1065
01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:55.920
was the home in this episode was
horrendous. Was not great, but it

1066
01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:00.960
isn't necessarily character just the writing of
home it was just horrendous. I don't

1067
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.960
know when it came back from commercial
March. She says she needs this otherwise

1068
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:05.639
she will never be able to say
no. I'm like, what the fuck

1069
01:05:06.039 --> 01:05:10.880
is this story? I kind of
understand it to some degree. I mean,

1070
01:05:10.920 --> 01:05:13.639
I think everyone in substage their life
has had a niggling thing where it's

1071
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:16.000
kind of like I needed to tell
that person how I feel about them,

1072
01:05:16.199 --> 01:05:18.400
but not the whole. I'll never
be able to say no ever. If

1073
01:05:18.400 --> 01:05:23.519
I don't say no to Gil.
Well, they need Yeah, they needed

1074
01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:27.400
to flesh that out a little bit
more then, but Lisa's not sure what

1075
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:30.000
she can do much we're gonna do. When to go to Scottsdale and they

1076
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:31.840
bring up the Triple Tree resort here, which is a play on apparently Hilton

1077
01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:35.159
resorts have double tree resorts. I
did not know this. Me have look

1078
01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:39.719
here. Yeah, so I'm asked
that they can stay at a triple tree

1079
01:05:39.800 --> 01:05:42.800
resort. This is a reference to
the double Tree brand of Hilton Hotels.

1080
01:05:42.880 --> 01:05:45.199
Wow, okay, apparently they're not
a fan of Hilton Hotels. I guess

1081
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:46.719
in two thousand and six everyone was
all about hating Paris Hilton, right,

1082
01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:50.480
I imagine, so, yes,
as they are in twenty twenty two.

1083
01:05:51.079 --> 01:05:55.239
Oh, hating on her baby,
we're in twenty twenty three hours. Yeah,

1084
01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:57.039
yeah, but hating on her baby. I was like, guys,

1085
01:05:57.159 --> 01:06:02.039
I get those Paris Hilton, but
don't make fun of the baby. I'll

1086
01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:05.320
ask these active seniors if they know
Gil. I'll have you know. I'm

1087
01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:25.639
thirty two. There he is.
Gunderson Kills a big shot, and I

1088
01:06:25.760 --> 01:06:30.000
think he and I went share to
show. I don't care how successful Gill

1089
01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:33.199
is. He's still a mooch and
I need to tell him. I'm sure

1090
01:06:33.199 --> 01:06:36.079
we knew it was Gunissan with Ah. It's just because this was still like

1091
01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:39.679
eighteen years ago. He just assumed, or how long ago was this?

1092
01:06:39.719 --> 01:06:42.920
Two thousand and six. That's eighteen
years seventeen year ago, seventy years Yeah,

1093
01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:45.800
seventeen years ago. Yeah, full
a discat your home of maths.

1094
01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:49.280
But it's revealed here. His last
name is Gunderson. He's on the billboard.

1095
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:53.400
He's number one in Scottsdale and now
hums and love and to think I

1096
01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:55.880
want you here to shower with him
in Margins. I don't care. I

1097
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:57.599
still want to say no to him. Are going to put him in his

1098
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:00.880
place. So they arrive one hundred
and seventeen degrees outside. So Homer reminds

1099
01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:02.320
Santas sort of helper who's been locked
in the car with the windows up,

1100
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:06.400
that this water bowl under the seat
or something. I just had a what

1101
01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:14.719
I think is not a bad idea
for March to confront Gil. He's like

1102
01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:17.679
trying to sell a house at the
actual house. Yeah, and they see

1103
01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:20.360
him, like they see through a
window, like he's lying on a couch

1104
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:24.400
or something, and they think he's
moochie. If someone else, I've got

1105
01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:26.000
to go tell him off, and
you know, sort of you know,

1106
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:30.880
word up these these people who live
in this house. And it turns out

1107
01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:34.480
that he's like, oh, this
couch is how comfortable and she's like,

1108
01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:38.239
he's a moocher and he did this
and this and this, and they're like,

1109
01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:40.400
well, we were going to buy
this house for this amount of money,

1110
01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:42.599
but now we're not, you know, and I'm going to tell my

1111
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:45.239
uncle, the owner of the real
estate company. And that's how Gill loses

1112
01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:47.760
his job. Rather than calling out
in front of all these other people,

1113
01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:50.760
the whole calling him out in front
of everybody and just being fire for I

1114
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:54.559
was like, wait, why is
he if he's number one? Yeah,

1115
01:07:54.599 --> 01:07:57.039
I think he could like he was
number one, wasn't he? Yeah he

1116
01:07:57.199 --> 01:08:00.119
was. He was the alpha dog
in the in the sales room and he's

1117
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:03.760
been yelled at by a woman.
Now he's getting fired. Well the peck

1118
01:08:03.840 --> 01:08:08.559
smelled weakness, they did. But
he gives a great speech. You know.

1119
01:08:08.559 --> 01:08:10.719
It's something about the comission you make. It's the smile on their faces

1120
01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:13.639
knowing they own the land. Freeing
clear. He's actually a pretty good He's

1121
01:08:14.119 --> 01:08:16.439
not bad at his gig. And
it's funny because you know, the character

1122
01:08:16.439 --> 01:08:19.479
that is based on from Glengarry glen
Ross is actually not bad at his job.

1123
01:08:19.960 --> 01:08:23.359
They do show in the film was
like you get him in a room

1124
01:08:23.399 --> 01:08:27.119
and he's actually pretty good. But
you know, some people just don't want

1125
01:08:27.159 --> 01:08:30.479
to buy. I do like the
line of he's as pathetic as us.

1126
01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:34.840
I did like Gil still pretty confident. He has watch me change it from

1127
01:08:34.840 --> 01:08:40.600
furiust to curious because I like trying. Yes, the only house I'm interested

1128
01:08:40.680 --> 01:08:45.680
in is my own, which you
defiled for eleven hellish months. But now

1129
01:08:45.960 --> 01:08:49.760
I've wanted to say no. Not
the emotion, not of manipulation and a

1130
01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:55.840
big fan note of the King's Bridge
School district. Oh come on, and

1131
01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:01.960
you can't say no to old Gilly. He's as pathetic as we are.

1132
01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:10.760
I put you in charge of this
office because I thought you could tame this

1133
01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:16.399
town you food. And then it
comes to him, I'm assuming they've gone

1134
01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:21.000
into a house that Gill has recently
sold. I'm guessing that, But wouldn't

1135
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:26.279
you have had a house in Scottsdale. It almost feels like, because because

1136
01:09:26.279 --> 01:09:28.520
the letterbox says the Simpsons, we've
got to make it up to Gill,

1137
01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:31.840
let's buy a house in Scottsdale.
I don't even know. And then it's

1138
01:09:32.039 --> 01:09:35.560
backed up with the Grumple family arriving
and them singing the singing the Stummer song

1139
01:09:35.560 --> 01:09:42.520
about Grumpel Grumple Grew. This episode
has ended. Yeah, uh, the

1140
01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:45.720
worst Christmas episode of The Simpsons to
date by a long margin. And I

1141
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:49.119
don't I dare I say not even
a Christmas episode Christmas in name only?

1142
01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:53.680
What do we learn, Bomber?
What did you learn from the episode of

1143
01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:58.840
Davis that when Sander says he's making
presents, he's making presents. Send We're

1144
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:00.720
taking a few kids of the pool? The South Park was make few kids

1145
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:03.239
off at the pool? Yeah?
What's taking the Browns to the super Bowl?

1146
01:10:03.279 --> 01:10:06.880
Giving a given birth to a Brown
baby boy or something? I don't

1147
01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:11.159
know it. It was full one. But I learned you know what I

1148
01:10:11.199 --> 01:10:13.960
didn't learn? Actually, I didn't
learn what the Grumple actually is. Is

1149
01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:15.159
he real or is he not?
Because it was never confirmed at the end

1150
01:10:15.159 --> 01:10:18.600
of this episode. I guess we're
supposed to believe he's real because he's got

1151
01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:21.680
a family. Yeah, I mean, this is the first time the Grumple

1152
01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:25.800
is a piecause I feel like,
I think, was it really Grumple Simpsons?

1153
01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:29.880
Maybe it's just I've seen him in
various things. Also known as grumpy

1154
01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:32.640
Grew, his first appearance was in
this episode. Yeah, again, I

1155
01:10:32.680 --> 01:10:35.960
would have loved it. Like you
know, he's of course the heel of

1156
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:40.640
the ice Capades or whatever, and
he's got a bunch of kids yelling him

1157
01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:43.920
and go boo Grumple or whatever,
and home is the only one who the

1158
01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:45.880
only adult who boos him, and
that really pisses off the Grumple. And

1159
01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:49.000
that's why he's got his on his
revenge trip. Yeah, because it was

1160
01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:54.039
never explained why. I guess because
Homer goes out there and tries to slitty

1161
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:58.600
straight with his skate. Yeah,
but I don't know. Ridiculousness could have

1162
01:10:58.640 --> 01:11:01.119
been fixed. Call your hands down
there on. From miss day forward,

1163
01:11:01.199 --> 01:11:05.760
your names will be It is time
for the Guy Davis New Name Championship for

1164
01:11:05.960 --> 01:11:10.039
season eighteen. The current leaderboard stands
at this in first position, we have

1165
01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:13.560
Luke McKay on ten points, Kyle
muldoon on eighteen, second, and in

1166
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:15.960

was the first person to ever have a

1167
01:11:16.079 --> 01:11:21.319
three peat on seven points. Take
it away. May I just say a

1168
01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:26.880
lot of good new names this time
around. This was a tough call,

1169
01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:30.479
and of course I don't know who
gave us these names. Dando just gives

1170
01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:33.319
me the list of the names.
None of the actual people who suggested these

1171
01:11:33.399 --> 01:11:39.439
names, but I was very impressed
with the majority of our entries. That

1172
01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:45.680
said, one point goes to the
most guonderful time of the year. That

1173
01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:48.760
is Jack McFadden, which is his
first time on the leaderboard this year.

1174
01:11:48.840 --> 01:11:50.840
So what I'm Jack, You're now
going to go into at least the wild

1175
01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:54.399
card draw unless you get a few
threes in the back half of this season.

1176
01:11:54.600 --> 01:12:00.359
Nice work, action McFadden. Two
points for mooch ado about nothing like

1177
01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:03.399
that as well. Very clever that
one. Oh god ooh. That puts

1178
01:12:03.520 --> 01:12:06.680
Kyle now up to ten points equal
first with Luke McKay. Well done,

1179
01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:14.720
Kyle, the races on the races, but three points goes to gunderstuck.

1180
01:12:15.880 --> 01:12:16.960
Oh boy, oh boy. You
know what you've done here? What have

1181
01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:20.680
I done? You have now made
it a three way tie in first position

1182
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:25.720
on ten points. It's Philip jay
Hawks there with a three point, So

1183
01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:28.800
Luke McKay, Philip j Hawks and
Cayle Maldon all on ten points in first

1184
01:12:28.800 --> 01:12:31.399
position. And as I said,
Fog, this is absolutely blind. I

1185
01:12:31.479 --> 01:12:35.399
don't know who's giving us these names, but we have created a three way

1186
01:12:36.199 --> 01:12:40.159
race. Wow, you watch them. Just send through like twenty names each

1187
01:12:40.199 --> 01:12:44.800
next week. Oh brilliant, Oh
good work everybody, Yes, well done.

1188
01:12:44.840 --> 01:12:46.159
So first position is a three way
tie. If you want to be

1189
01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:48.359
a part of the Guy This New
Name Championship, just going to be a

1190
01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:57.520
supporter of ours on Petrie On all
right, male bad questions here, Ben

1191
01:12:57.720 --> 01:13:00.680
Lyons says to us, have you
ever had a guest and longer than intended?

1192
01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:01.239
If so, how did you get
rid of them? Or how would

1193
01:13:01.239 --> 01:13:04.479
you if you, how would you
if you had to do that? Well,

1194
01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:08.039
I spoke about my friend. I
won't say his name name agame with

1195
01:13:08.119 --> 01:13:15.439
j I'll say that Jav're listening Dano's
coming over sleep on any can I know?

1196
01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:19.840
Are you usually the person staying over? But are you he's actually an

1197
01:13:19.880 --> 01:13:23.199
item? Or do you just come
over and just like we can't get this

1198
01:13:23.239 --> 01:13:27.880
guy to go away? But he
cooks a mean burrito? Yeah, true,

1199
01:13:28.359 --> 01:13:31.439
he does the dishes. Because I
remember, we stick with the new

1200
01:13:31.479 --> 01:13:36.119
episode of not he has Netflix and
stand to lose the moment's stand. Yeah,

1201
01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:46.760
we are indeed an item. Just
confirmingously she's from Vancouver. M No.

1202
01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:50.720
I mean I am not someone who
stays all that long and I definitely

1203
01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:54.680
don't have people over to my house. How often do you have people at

1204
01:13:54.680 --> 01:13:57.359
your house? Not often? Not
often? Not often? No, No,

1205
01:13:57.439 --> 01:14:00.239
I mean the house isn't a mess
or a scrace or anything like that.

1206
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:02.680
But at the same time, it's
not really sort of it's not set

1207
01:14:02.720 --> 01:14:05.439
up in a way it's conduced for
having a lot of people over. It's

1208
01:14:06.560 --> 01:14:10.520
it's not really open plan. It's
rooms. It's got a lot of walls.

1209
01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:14.600
The or the Nazi membiy probably wouldn't
get in. Well, that's true.

1210
01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:16.600
Yeah, I mean I've got to, you know, take all the

1211
01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:20.119
pawn off the walls and parted in
the cupboard. Why do you have that

1212
01:14:20.159 --> 01:14:24.520
super Bowl in the living room?
Yeah? For your core? Yeah,

1213
01:14:24.720 --> 01:14:29.359
trying to build your your core.
But having said that, I mean,

1214
01:14:29.880 --> 01:14:31.520
as I mentioned, the Lovely Lou
and I were in California. We stayed

1215
01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:34.439
with her friend Claire for like two
weeks and she must be so sick of

1216
01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:39.359
us, but but she really enjoyed
having us over. Lovely person Claire was

1217
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:44.000
fantastic. Jet Gordon says, has
this episode affected you in your core like

1218
01:14:44.079 --> 01:14:46.600
it did me? Since its release, I regularly referred to an unhappy person

1219
01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:53.439
as grumpy grumpo League grew h.
I think it affected us in our cores,

1220
01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:56.560
and like Matt sick to, I
thought he was referring to there.

1221
01:14:56.640 --> 01:15:00.239
Yeah, I know because I can't
recall actually seen this episode when it first

1222
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:01.199
air. I think it is the
first time I actually watched it might be

1223
01:15:01.279 --> 01:15:04.359
the same for me, actually so
and I think Dan and I both both

1224
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:09.279
walked away from it feeling like we're
walking away from this. Glenn Gome says,

1225
01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:12.159
I enjoy the Christmas intro? What
theme would you like? I can

1226
01:15:12.239 --> 01:15:15.319
say what theme would do to the
christ to the intro because he's maybe asking

1227
01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:17.239
there how drop him to change what
theme? Oh? Okay, so we've

1228
01:15:17.279 --> 01:15:20.720
had Halloween's on a Christmas ones?
What else could you really do? I

1229
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:24.880
did like that when Bart was fat
that time, even though it wasn't changing

1230
01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:27.760
the theme, it was just changing
the fact that he was overweight. I

1231
01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:31.640
would mind of Valentine's Day one that
was kind of romantic, Valentine's Easter Eggs

1232
01:15:31.880 --> 01:15:38.039
Eastern one. But we don't know
any other big sort of holidays are they?

1233
01:15:38.279 --> 01:15:40.079
Well, thanks to him, but
we didn't really celebrate that here.

1234
01:15:40.159 --> 01:15:43.680
But yeah, I'm not too sure. Katie g says, a celebrity you'd

1235
01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:46.840
think would be the most annoying to
stay at your house. I'm going to

1236
01:15:46.920 --> 01:15:54.439
say Andy Dick, Yeah, that's
a good one. Or Tom Green.

1237
01:15:55.239 --> 01:15:58.520
I know Tom Green slides straighten himself
out now, but like early two thousands,

1238
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:00.560
Tom Green, I feel like you'd
be like someone just stop trying to

1239
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:04.680
get attention. Yeah, stop riffing. Yeah, no wild pranksters, yeah,

1240
01:16:04.800 --> 01:16:06.920
put my rat down, stop putting
it on your tongue. You know,

1241
01:16:10.439 --> 01:16:13.039
those are both very good answers.
Yeah. I think anyone who sort

1242
01:16:13.079 --> 01:16:15.840
of prizes themselves on being a rifster
or a prankster who's a modern celebrity that

1243
01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:17.800
shits you that you're just like,
oh, just fuck off. Every time

1244
01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:21.920
you see them on TV. This
is terrible because they seem like a fairly

1245
01:16:23.920 --> 01:16:27.640
good person in a lot of ways, but based on the way they're coming

1246
01:16:27.640 --> 01:16:31.039
across on the screen lately, probably
Ryan Reynolds, Yeah, just everything is

1247
01:16:31.159 --> 01:16:35.159
kind of all smam all the time. It's always smarm, isn't it.

1248
01:16:35.279 --> 01:16:40.159
Yeah? Yeah, I mean he's
doing very well for himself, but you're

1249
01:16:40.199 --> 01:16:43.479
right, he does seem like a
lovely person, but just his stick can

1250
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:46.119
be grating at times. Yeah,
So if I had to you know,

1251
01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:50.760
put up with the Ryan Reynolds that
you see in say the movie Red Notice

1252
01:16:51.159 --> 01:16:55.840
or his cameo and Hobson Shaw be
like, go away, Ryan Renolds,

1253
01:16:56.000 --> 01:16:59.039
go back to Canada. Harrison McClure, Do you guys think you'd make a

1254
01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:00.800
good mol sound? It's actually something
I fancy doing when I'm tired. That's

1255
01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:03.640
another thing. Actually we have fun. Would that be I could do it

1256
01:17:03.680 --> 01:17:06.359
for a day? Maybe? Yeah? And well, depending on how it

1257
01:17:06.399 --> 01:17:08.960
felt the end of the day.
It's like, I'll see you tomorrow.

1258
01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:16.199
You'll never see me again? Money, what's this wet patch of my knee?

1259
01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:20.840
Andrew Swan, were you disappointed this
episode wasn't actually a Kill Bill parody?

1260
01:17:20.840 --> 01:17:25.119
I remember as a team being so
disappointed. I will agree there was

1261
01:17:25.199 --> 01:17:29.079
not even a reference to Kill Bill
in this There was not. I mean,

1262
01:17:29.439 --> 01:17:30.960
I thought it would have suited it
because this episode, but like it

1263
01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:34.680
kind of it kind of suits I
guess because you do want to kill Gill.

1264
01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:39.159
But that's that's the only thing.
Yeah, and kill Bill was big

1265
01:17:39.199 --> 01:17:42.000
at the time, but one and
two both came out in two thousand and

1266
01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:45.880
three. Right did they pull a
matrix? Did he pull a matrix?

1267
01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:47.880
I thought it was a year apart. Wasn't it about a year apart?

1268
01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:53.039
Maybe that's what you're confusing with before
with matrix when to kill Bill? Because

1269
01:17:53.399 --> 01:17:56.319
volume one was two thousand and three, Volume two to two thousand and four.

1270
01:17:56.520 --> 01:17:59.439
Yeah, and a couple more questions
here. I've got a lot of

1271
01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:02.319
questions. It seems that people would
just like question heavy this is do we

1272
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:05.800
have one from Well? The next
one is from Andrew JP. Guy always

1273
01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:11.760
looks nervous when Andrew JP doesn't like, have we lost him? We lose

1274
01:18:11.800 --> 01:18:16.119
Andrew JP? Shop He says,
if you could write a Simpsons Disney short

1275
01:18:16.159 --> 01:18:19.840
about Gill, what would your idea
be? That's a good question. He's

1276
01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:23.920
normally, you know, hitting us
with the winners. I made a JP

1277
01:18:24.199 --> 01:18:27.000
Gill short off the top of my
head. Well, you wouldn't do it.

1278
01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:29.439
Glen Garry, Glen Ross Parish,
that's what that's his stick. No,

1279
01:18:29.800 --> 01:18:31.079
and I know that we talked about
Jimmy Stewart earlier. I mean,

1280
01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:34.560
and yeah, Christmas time you think
of it. It's a wonderful life was

1281
01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:36.880
one of one of the new names. Woul Probably it's a gunderful life for

1282
01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:39.720
this one. But that would be
good. You know, having sort of

1283
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:42.960
like, oh, jeez, it
would be better if something. Now I'm

1284
01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:45.920
doing the Jimmy Stewart and badly like, ah, what it would be better

1285
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:47.760
if I have never been born?
And then I don't know, you cut

1286
01:18:47.840 --> 01:18:53.279
back and go to all the Gill
stuff that you've had throughout the seasons and

1287
01:18:53.760 --> 01:18:56.479
maybe just riff on those a little
bit. It's like, oh, well,

1288
01:18:56.520 --> 01:18:58.520
you know, we saw Gill that
time, but then this happened,

1289
01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:00.880
and it's set up something bad that
happened as a result, or you know,

1290
01:19:01.199 --> 01:19:04.560
things were worse as a result because
we didn't get to make fun of

1291
01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:08.760
Gil. But I like Gil's attitude
of like never give up. Yeah.

1292
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:11.279
There was something in this episode where
he said something like long a's got a

1293
01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:13.079
cup of coffee in it, tomorrow
in the calendar. I'm like, that's

1294
01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:15.239
a good motto to live by.
It It really is, actually, and

1295
01:19:15.319 --> 01:19:16.600
you could round out your Disney short
with that. It's like, you know,

1296
01:19:16.680 --> 01:19:19.119
he's got his cup of coffee and
tomorrow's another day. Yeah, you

1297
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:21.880
know, and then you get the
egg on his face or something like that.

1298
01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:26.439
But I do think that could actually
work. Yeah, good question,

1299
01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:28.680
Andrew don Well, I don't want
to hear from it? Eric, what

1300
01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:32.479
about good answer? Gay? Eric
looked ring up. It took me twice

1301
01:19:32.520 --> 01:19:34.680
to get through this episode. I
had to turn it off after home as

1302
01:19:34.920 --> 01:19:39.159
Homer lockx Sanders or to help it
in the car in the in the heat.

1303
01:19:39.319 --> 01:19:41.800
Second play through, I was surprised
and disappointed by the ending. I

1304
01:19:41.800 --> 01:19:44.680
guess March had to buy a house
to save Gil's job. Yeah, I

1305
01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:46.399
mean, I guess that's what we
were thinking it was. Why is there

1306
01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:50.119
a Simpsons had since Scots Downe Now? Yeah, it's so confusing it is.

1307
01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:54.279
