Now sure you are A sight is correct? That's right. I have a
pH d in truthology from Christian Tech. Well a, Carl, I got
a new hero. Yea. This will last about a day. Fourth Finger
Discount, dude, Welcome to fourth Finger Discount, the podcast where we rarely,
if ever take a four week holiday, but we've done it this time.
But we're back now. I'm back from the UK, guys back from
the United States, and we're here to review the second last episode of season
seventeen of The Simpsons. It is the Monkey Suit. I am Dando and
I am Guy aka a bear with pants on. And what Danna didn't point
out is that, you know, normally podcasts, you know, buns that
run smoothly and have all their ducks in a row, would have there for
we holiday at the same time. But no, I took two and a
half weeks off and went to the US, and then not long after I
got back from there, Danno lit out to the UK. So it was
a long hoss holiday for the both of us. But rest assured, we
were thinking of you the whole time, even to the point where we did
a little podcast in the middle of our breaks, didn't we We did,
and you can find that available now on our Patreon channel. Basically, we
just turned the mics and just had a bit of a catch up. I
think at one point we're talking about our favorite shops on Packington Street just in
Geln. We're just like, we're just catching up with it. We literally
hadn't spoken a month because basically what happened was we recorded all the shows as
many as we could in advance because we had our trip like planned a year
out and like about and I was about six weeks before you and you're like,
I'm going to America for two and a half weeks. I'm like,
ah, fuck, okay, that's news to me. Thank you. It
was news to me too, and then I was like, okay, cool,
So a whole heap in the can. But we're back now, we're
doing this. We're recording this on the thirtieth of August. This is going
to be coming out on the thirty first, so we're gonna be keeping a
fresh now. Also, we've got some updates for you guys. So whilst
I was away, I did some sort of planning and things like that.
First thing, foremost is we're going to be recording videos for every single four
finger discount podcast we're doing now. So if you enjoy the show and you're
going to watch us do it, you can watch it now on our YouTube
channel. We can find a links that in the description of this podcast.
Guys just moved his mic up in front of his face. Why have you
done that? You've never ever ever done that in your life? Why are
you doing it now? Do look at me? For years I've been trying
to tell him put the microphone in his face, and he's like, I
don't need to do it, don't need to. I say, the camera's
on you, like, cover your face of the microphone. How does this
look? And it sounds like I covered my face as well, So it's
all good. It's all good. This you can watch all this happening now
on our YouTube channel. Fund link in the description of this show. But
also so you would be well aware that we do a show called Talking Signfeld
and we will review the first three seasons of the show, and then we
did the first episode of season four, The Trip, Part one, which
has been available on a Padron for a while, and we took a bit
of a break because it was just getting a bit much. You know,
we're checking all this content for you guys, and it's just getting a bit
overwhelming, and I thought, what something needs to take a break, and
it was Talking Seinfeld. We also launched a show earlier in the year called
Speaking of the Hill where we review every episode of King of the Hill.
Now, if you did enjoy those two shows, we are starting them once
again as of next week, right so every single month, and now I'm
gonna get episodes are Speaking of the Hill and Talking Signfold, but they're going
to be available on our Patreon. So if you want to get access to
those shows now you still can you want to support the show. If you
don't, that's perfectly fine as well. I'm sure there's plenty of other Speaking
King of the Hill and Sinfold podcasts for you to think your ears and too.
But if you want to hear a guy and Dando's Talking Seinfeld and Speaking
of the Hill, and let's be honest, why wouldn't you Because they are
great shows. They're available for just two dollars on our Patreon, So if
you've got to spare two dollary dues in your pocket, think about it.
Like some people would have even pick up two dollars if they found it on
the ground, so it's all it is. It's just two dollars support the
show and you get access to two really great podcasts, Talking Seinfeld and Speaking
of the Hill. Plus also available on our Patreon is Tales of Drama,
where we go back and revisit every episode of the show. Now, I've
been contemplating do we sometimes do some of the newer episodes because they've just released
new episodes of Futurama on Disney Plus and I've been really really enjoying them.
I felt they've been getting better and better as the weeks go on. Episode
six I watched last night and I've really really enjoyed it. So I'm thinking
much shake things up here and there and throw out a couple of bonus reviews
of current episodes, just to see how we're going. If you guys want
to hear that, so let us know, Simpsons mailback at gmail dot com.
But yes, Tales of Futurama, Speaking of the Hill, and Talking
Sinfeld all now available on our Patreon, as well as movie reviews with the
Movie Guys podcast and to get early and add free access to this show,
as well as a bunch of other stuff as well. Prize drawers, the
Facebook group, and so much more. So Yeah, enough sprukings. I
just do one big spruk at the start here to let you guys know that
if you want to hear more King of the Hill reviews, Sinfeld reviews,
and Futurama that you finally want to our Patreon. All the links for those
are in the description of this show as well. But anyway, we're here
to talk about the monkey suit, aren't we miss the davis An episode that
was touching a subject that was very, very interesting and touchy in a sense
of evolution versus creationism, As I said you in the Citizens, So it's
I thought they had it it quite well. What are your thoughts. I
think they did handle it very well. They were quite diplomatic about a very,
as you say, a hot button topic. Yeah, there was certainly
a stage, and I think it's probably ongoing in American culture and maybe in
societies around the world, but I think primarily America that's where we hear about
it, the whole creationism versus evolution quote unquote debate. Yeah, it was
very big and very big in schools for a while, and very big in
certain states in America. So Yeah, the sentisens decided to take it on,
and Yeah, as I said, they were very very diplomatic, very
even handed, recognized the flaws and virtues of shall we say, both sides,
and trying to come out with a result in a response that would balances
please please everybody but more likely not offend anyone. Yeah. I thought it's
clear that the Simpsons staff and the writer whose name escapes me just now,
the Jay Stewart Burns was the right of this episode. It's clear that he
was pro evolution, you know. Yeah, but I thought that he also
did a good he positioned the episode in a way where they weren't just completely
saying you're wrong for believing in guide and creationists, because they sort of made
the people who are pro evolution a bit smarmy in this at times, don't
you think. But there was that exhibit at the museum where it was like,
you know, indisputable evidence of the dinosaur bones or something something that,
you know, something like that. So I thought that they sort of he
sort of he sat on the fence enough the way it didn't feel like it
was just all all evolution is king and creationism is not. I think that's
suddenly then going to happen when you are in the right so to speak,
or you know, the weight of evidence is kind of really waned down your
scales. You have attends ago, well, okay, fine, believe your
very tales if you like. But yeah, I mean, and then in
fairy tales exactly what people would say. Yeah, that that can lead to
some kind of smugness, as I just showed. So yeah, I think
it was very worthy and worthwhile at the Simpsons to show, as I said,
it's not so much of the both sides have their merits, but both
have their place. And yeah, your belief in or your faith or something
like that is something that can be, you know, very central to your
life, very caught your being and help you sort of make your way through
this crazy thing called life. So yeah, I mean it was it was
good for them to do so, and I think they did it very very
well. I think it was important for Lisa at the end because she was
sort of the voice of the whole evolution thing here saying that she respects Flanders
belief as well. She's whilst you know, I don't agree with it,
I respect that you do believe in it. I just don't think it's appropriate
for it to be taught in school, much like you wouldn't want science taught
in a church. And that's it. That's away setting it. Yeah,
that's all you need. Yeah. Now, it says that Jay Stewart Burns
got the idea for this from there was a monkey trial in nineteen twenty five
where a teacher did have you heard about this? Do a nettle bit?
This the Scopes trial, I believe called Yes. Well, if you google
Scopes, the first thing comes up is Scopes monkey trial. But it was
yeah, essentially along these lines that, well, let's go to our friend
wikipedie wi Pat, let's go. The Monkey Suit was written by Jay Stewart
Burns and directed by Raymond s Percy as part of the seventeenth season. Burns
received inspiration to the episode from the Scopes Monkey Trial, as you're just saying,
mister Davis, a nineteen twenty five legal case in which high school teacher
John Scopes was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which made teaching evolution unlawful.
Clarice Drummond, the ACLU lawyer who represents Lisa in this episode, is
a reference to the ACLU lawyer Clarence Darrow, who defended Scopes at the time,
whilst while Brady I thought it was hilarious. Is a reference to William
Jennings Bryan, an attorney in the Scope's monkey trial. So there you go.
So that's what the basis of this was on. Indeed, and you've
just knocked out one of my trier questions was Wallace Brady, it was Chlorie's
drumming. Okay, I would not have got that one. I would not
have got that one. But this one's been It's received positive reviews, which
is not common in season seventeen. Usually it's like generally unfavored reviews. But
year this one thumbs up for most people. See, yeah, people aren't
really going out of their way and say season seventeen, whoa, But no,
this was like a strong episode. As we've said about many a previous
episode. It's got a strong foundation, you know, I mean, it's
it's got something solid that you can It's solid ground to sort of set your
argument on, you know, and a solid argument to sink your teeth into.
So spect so, and then of course you can add all number of
gags to it, which is you know, the sugary, sugary tapping that
we enjoy from the Simpsons. But yeah, you've got to have something solid
to plant your feet on. And I love people who sort of have they
have their name as like first initial their name, their name A good buddy
of mine Burns well correct, Yeah, I haven't man who he used to
mockingly call himself Jay Kenneth something okay when he was taking the piss at himself.
And yeah, it's not necessarily a stylization that I like, but but
no, Jay Steward Burns did, yeah, did pretty good with that.
I think. I thought it was interesting that for a topic that you can
really like, you said, sink your teeth into. Apparently the episode came
in really short, to the point where the entire like opening bid with but
not wanting to waste this summer was actually like written and animated for an episode
from like season fourteen, and then they just never used it. And then
they just watted at the start of this episode just to fill the gap,
and you had the full intro and you had the really long couch gay like
it must have really come in short, like really short. I'm gonna take
back some of the things that I said about Jay Stewart's throwing in some half
host working. Here you go, guys. Yeah, the episode originally animated
and written for the season fourteen episode I'm spelling as fast as I can,
but it got cut out due to one not enough time left in an episode.
This one's like we did extra five minutes. It's like that that makes
so much sense when you yeah, sort of reevaluating. Mean you do look
at that that opening a bit with buttons, like, oh, yeah,
that has absolutely no relation to evolution at all. I mean, and that
does happen really seventeen episode Sometimes sort of the opening two or three minutes has
nothing to do with the topic that the episode's about. But this one just
felt really off topic. Yeah, so, I mean you realize that the
thread connecting the two things is awfully thin. When it's least of piping,
I'm saying, all right, well now it's time for what you've promised to
do with me. All somewhere it's like, oh, finally you're worked one
out. Yeah. It kind of like when we're doing it on a story
and we finally bring it full circle back to the episode. May hears a
burning that sounds like something that I do hey my favorite? What were your
favorite moments from the episode. It's funny you mentioned earlier about the sort of
smiliness or smugness of people who tend to think they're in the right when it
comes to an argument, and mentioning the museum and how it had indisputable proof
and all that, And when it came to the quote unquote myth of creation
its soundtrack to the Doobie Brothers, what a full beliefs, it was like,
that's a bit arch but also like well worth the money, but well
worth the money to have to get the rights of that song though you used
that absolutely. Sometimes it feels like they're breaking the bait these days with the
songs, with the pop songs, like the very very popular songs. But
this one here to actually used it for a really solid reason that like fitting
it made it funny, you know. Sometimes they used the music just sort
of created emotion with this one, like it was used as a gag.
I really appreciate that, so did I. Yeah, And I think my
other favorite moment where from this it's a little one, but where Quimby is
cheering up the meeting and he's talking about as late as proposal which is like,
if you're going to just duck in for a packet of smokes, then
by all means puck on the handicapped park. I'm like, yes, o
Green, No, it's a terrible thing to say, but I'm like I'd
probably vote, like yeah, just be cool about it, just going real
quick, not near like doing a full shop. He's like, I just
gonna go get some flocks. If handicapped parks, is it court? Is
it disabled parks? And he handicap I don't offend anybody, apologies if I
have, but those parks, right, it shouldn't be. You know how
sometimes now when you go into a shopping malls, more offensive you saying those
parks okay, apologies. But you know when you go into a shopping mall
now and they scan your number plate, you don't have to get a ticket
anymore, right. I feel like if the disabled parks right had a little
scanner on the front of the car, right and just say you have to
register your number plate to say that you had the pass on your window,
right, so scans you another plate and if you don't have one of those
passes associated with being allowed to park in those parks, then you get like
three minutes. And if the three minutes goes and your number plate is still
sitting there, then you get the fine Brendan Dano not just creating a wonderful
podcast empire, but basically making the world a better place. You should run
to Gil on cancel when it's better. It's a bit of a mess and
you can't do it. You couldn't make it any worse for that for wrestling
fans out there, would give him a three minute warning. Wrestling fans will
appreciate that. Reference what I said that three minute one. Now you said
it was a little thing. I thought you were meaning quite literally because I
got a big kick out of Little most Is, Like ye, that just
felt like classic Simpsons, just ridiculousness, just a one of all non sequitar
It's like, who saw that coming? I'm never going to see Little most
Is like again, it was hilarious. That was good. That was good.
You're right, and just Wallace Brady's techniques of trying to win over the
crowd and whenever the jury a little Bambi and things who started that fire that
killed your mother? Every we should I just love a country lawyer who's you
know, appears like a bit of a bumpkin, but you know he's the
most savvy person in the room. I mean, I think I think the
Simpsons writers love them Matlock, so you know they've done a bit of a
tribute to Matlock there as well. But yeah, I mean in referring to
it is, what do you think about this devolution? It's like in the
video where Charles Darwin's making that with Satan, things like that, Well that's
I mean, yeah, we sort of pay out on the on the people
on the I don't know what we call the pro revolution side of being smugged,
but you know, the people on the progression side, they played dirty.
They're gonna up Charles. Then we all played making that with Satan.
It's the only way to play, isn't it? Played dirty? Played dirty?
Exactly? Get your point across. Next question. You there eating the
paste. It is trivia time, which means it is now time for us

it is time for us to get into some trivia questions. My first
one for you is that who did Grandpa want to sleep with? According to
his list, he wanted to sleep with Esther Williams. Up, mister Williams,
mister Davis. She was a movie star back in the I think thirties
and forties, and this was a time when you go to the movies was
a huge sort of novelty, you know, and you have actors and performers
who you know, they had specific talents, and Esther Williams was like,
I think she was known as the bathing beauty. I think I don't know
if she was like a professional swimmer or something like that, but she had
a lot of dance numbers or choreograph numbers that basically involved her like diving into
and swimming around the pool. She was like a really good synchronous swimmer.
And there was a bunch of movies with Esther Williams doing just that. I
mean, I think in the in the more innocent age was like she's wearing
a beatings. Oh my gosh, don't take the wavefter this one. You
said they're going to the movies when it was a novelty. I feel like
it's becoming a novelty again. Do people still go to the movies? Not
as much as they used to? I mean, we both's all Barbie and
you haven't seen Barby did? They were supposed to go see it yesterday,
what's today? Wednesday? Ship guy at the time just flies. I was
supposed to see it on Sunday. It was five dollars movie day, but
then our babysitter fell through about an hour before the movie is about to start.
So we're at the call up and get a refunded and like, I'm
sorry, mister Dander, but we can't refund you the booking fee of six
dollars. I'm like, why, what what? What? What is with
the booking fee? Like? Who am I paying the booking fee to?
To do you? You can pay it back to me. Who gets the
booking fee? Like if I book a ticket at on reading Cinemas dot com
or Village Cinemas dot com right and online, and I pay a booking fee.
Who am I paying? You're paying? It's all ready, I mean
village, all reading. But why are they charged me to Why? Because
they've gotten like an all high tech infrastructure now that needs to be bunday.
You need to keep paying for that. I don't know. It can be
a break, I'm not. It's like if I go I'd rather pay the
booking fee going to the movies because you've got a person there behind the fucking
I'm paying a human bee. There's no human in between, there's no middleman
here. It's me doing their job. Why am I last picture? I
don't know, man, the last time I went out to anywhere. It's
like what happened to the box office? Now it's all these screens and I'm
looking at and pushing buttons on fucking fee? What you got rid of humans?
So you're saving money on wages and you're charging me a booking fee And
anyway, try go to the supermarket these days. But before this turns in,
the old man shakes. Just one more rand coming up? You go
ahead. We've been into the UK for a month, right when we left
our Wednesday ritual Holly in myself right, sorry Tuesday myself now daddy daycare day
because it's a kinder as we go to town with a bit of a wonder,
you know, the park, and she has some sushi for lunch.
She loves her sushi. Right when we left right for the UK on July
twenty eighth, so I was I must have gone with her like July twenty
fourth or something. Sushi was two dollars eighty. I took her out yesterday
and it was four dollars each. How has it got up a dollar twenty
in three and a half weeks? What's going on here? I don't know.
I'll put on my politicians out and say costa Living, Costa Living's going
through the roof? What a dollar twenty and three and a half weeks?
What is happening? Cheese? Cheese? It's a year ago a block kilo
block of Cole's brand cheese used to be eight dollars, right and a half
ago? Eight dollars. It's now fourteen. What it's fourteen dollars for a
block? What the fucking hell? It used to be eight dollars and now
it's fourteen. I'll tell you what remains a bargain though? What's that KFC
eight dollars tennis eight bucks. Oh I saw that someone online was like damn,
and then I'm doing the tenders heck anymore and like, yes they are?
And then I tried it and they're not. So we got We got
home about nine thirty on say night. Run the way home and it's like,
oh, what a kfcing. I'm like, I could really go KFC
because I don't eat plain food, right, it always makes me feel unwell.
The smell of it makes me feel unwell. I hate plain food,
right, so I'd go on like a thirty hour trip and neat nothing but
like a cheese samwich. I was starving. I thought, in KFC in
the UK is terrible. They don't have chicken salt. Don't even get me
started. So get like my kind of place. I had a hankering for
KFC, right, what you like KFC without a chicken salt? Are you
mad? On the chips? Hang on? The UK doesn't have chicken salts.
So the chips doesn't have chicken salt on it. That's what I'm saying.
Is terrible in the UK? Interesting anyway? Interesting? But we yeah,
so one the way home, want to KFC. I did the hack
and the hack worked. Where you're add a feast, you get an ad
on like which is like five two I think it's two ad ons, like
five dollars something. You get a two light ships with five bucks instead of
paying five dollars each. Blah blah blah. And then it worked, took
off the feast. I still got my ad ons. Then someone I think
it was I was k I believe one of our patrons posting the Patreon group
today. You want to be part of that? Just got to just put
us on Patreon, and she said, I tried the hack. I've been
doing it for years since down I talked about on the podcast, and now
it's not working. I was like, hold on a minute, this is
actually groundbreaking news for me. I went on too the app because it works
for me. Like on the last Thursday, it's now Wednesday. I went
on there, I added the feast, added the ad on, removed the
feast, and it's like we have also removed the ad on. My heart
sank. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. Betrayed by the
colonel. Life will never be the same now, it just will never be
the same. That was like my thing I was like, I always I
felt like such a not a criminal, but I felt like a outwitted to
the Klonel. It's always one step ahead. Oh yeah, look there,
there's nothing better in this capitalistic healthscape than finding a workaround, you know.
I mean, even if it's just I think, yeah, I've signed up
to both the major supermarket chains, and you know you'll get your email on
a usually Tuesday night or a Wednesday morning, it's like, here is this
week's specially, was like, oh that thing, I like, it's half
price. Yeah, I'm not going to pay full price. Got to hell,
it's exactly right. I feel like maybe I'm to blame. I feel
like as a KFC work right there. That went hold on a minute.
They listened to the show and went, hold on a minute. This Dando
guy, all these thousands and millions of listeners out there, he's costing us
a lot of money. I better go, I'll take this straight to the
prime minister. Took a straight to the channel, and I'm taking the straight
And now this guy is now managing some store and mill juror he got promoted,
and now we don't get our hack. I was devastated, kind of
like I've told our story once where we used to have that that. You
know. We used to work at pop Culture right where I used to work
as well, and we had the drinking machine, the drink of the cam
machine, so it does and stuff, and there used to be one I
believe it was fifty six in the machine. If you put two dollars in,
push fifty six for a can of Pepsi Max, and chuck your can
of Pepsi Max and give you two one dollar coins in exchange. It was
always a free cannip Pepsi Max. And I did it for it like a
good year. And now I trusted this one person I name her name.
It was as a girl. I told her, and all of a sudden
I'd go to the machine and fifty six would be empty. And I was
like, she's fucking told people. And whenever you go there was always just
fifty six was empty. Fifty six was empty. I was like. And
then like, I no, A week later there's a maintenance man. He's
fixing the machine and it didn't work anymore. So if you ever find out
a hack people learned from me, don't tell anybody. Just enjoy the good
life. Indeed, we might have to keep our hacks to ourselves here,
because I mean, if someone listening to this show actually went to you know,
the Colonel's HQ and said, man, the way, there's a couple
of guys in Geelonge who were getting you know, cheap tendies. Yeah,
alkay, three words for you. Pow Snitches get stitches then, indeed anyway,
And they don't get bitches either, do they. They certainly do not.
Bitches just become bitches anyway. So my first question for you, what's
your first question for me? What was it? My first question for you?
Because you've already asked me, and I don't know how we gotta started
talks to Williams. We get to that. That's right now. What did
Homer want to find and destroy as part of his summer to do list?
What did you want to find and destroy as part of his summer Homer?
I missed that one? What was it? It was the Lost City of
Atlantis City of Atlantis, which is from the episode The Deep South. Wasn't
it Atlanta? Though? Remember in Atlanta the Lost of Atlanta the Future Runner
episode which was which which I chucked up as a bonus Pagreon skills go back
and you listen to this and the free feed go back and you'll hear the
episode of Tails the Future on Me that I whacked up as a bonus whilst
we were away on our holidays a Deep South. It was a really fun
episode. Has a very similar guy, Nemeber, the guy that runs the
Atlanta places, very much like Wallace Brady. And this isn't he correct?
Correct? Yeah? And guess what you're going to get access to that for
only two dollars a month? Five more on was five dollars a month.
I don't want to. I don't want to why to the people, but
you know what I mean. Support your pals, Support your pals. My
next question is what is coming up at the Imax theater. What's the movie
that's coming up coming soon? Is it inside your nostril? Up your nostril.
I'll give you that one, up your nostro. A question for you
is what is Skinner's alternative to Darwinian evolution? Skinner's alternative? What is it?
It's Lamarckian Lamarckian, all right? And my final one, when when
the Reverend Love joins and and Flander sharp saying, when you need to offer
an evolution an alternative, there's evolution, you mean like Lamarkian. My final
question is Brockman is juror number what he's during number seven and in like roast
beef for lunch. Yes, indeed, I like that a lot. But
I like Ken Brockman as you are very Ken Brockman ish. I reckon.
You can relate to it in a lot of ways, can't you. Yeah,
do you have a lot of like screen caps and images like in a
in a folder on your on your computers. My downloads folder is an absolute
mess. I just like say things, save the downloads And I never ordered
my memes, Like I know they're in there, but they're just in there
somewhere. I occasionally will like I've got a little term up mostly and I've
got pretensions towards straightening out my life. I'm going to go through my pictures
folder and rather than you know, like X Underscore, Simpsons, got whatever,
I'm like, give it a new name. So I was like,
oh, if I need to find this, I know I can type in
this and I'll find this. But I've got so many Ken Brockman months,
like you know, the one where he looks up and it's Brockman in trouble
and he's sort of going or just the one where he's dressed like a pimp
and giving the thumbs up. I don't know. I just got so many
Ken Brockman images. I just love him. My final question to you is
Lisa, if she goes down to Mexico, I will be known as senior
ya ugly. But what will her job be? What will her job be?
No idea? I don't seen you talking about? What was it?

podcast. The original air date of The Monkey Suit was May fourteen, two
thousand and six. It was written by Jay Stewart Burns as we said,
and directed by Raymond s Percy. It stars Larry Hagman as Wallace Brady.
Who would Larry Hagman be to our listener, is mister Davis? Give us
a bit of an instant look. He's millennials and gem Ze are probably like
who, but very big in the seventies eighties as the star of Dallas,
one of the biggest shows on television at the time. He played JR.
Ewing Chu a precurse to your anti heroes like Walter White and Tony Sopran all
that he was evil, but you loved him because he was so you know,
fun with it. And before that he was under the leading I dream
of Jeannie was he found the he found the magic bottle on the beach opening
up and how comes Jeanie? Yes? Was he was? Okay? That
makes sense now. So by the way, if he didn't exist, we
probably wouldn't have the Who shot mister Burns episode would be that's correct, because
yeah, I mean the Who Shot Mister Burns episode is based on a Dallas
cliffhang called Who Shot Jr? Everybody everybody wanted to know who shot Jr?
And it's before you can got on the internet and find out spoilers, you
know what I mean. It was just like I can't imagine what well I
can kind of magic. I can just remember before the Internet, when like
you had to just wait, you just had to wait and find out,
Like, oh my god, I could just find out, Like, can
you remember the first spoiler you found out? I'm pretty sure I've asked this
question before. It was the six Cents one. I think it might have
been, yeah, yeah, yeah, Anyway, now I'm trying to remember
because I think the Who Shot Jr? Son of Dales was actually like on
the cover of Time magazine. This is an old reference, but yeah,
it was like, oh my god, everybody wants to know. So,
yeah, we wouldn't have mister Burns, We wouldn't have who Shot Mister Burns?
Without it wasn't it a dream? As well? In the end,
there was something, there was something the character, Yeah, it's a dream
or something, and who does Yeah, yeah, but then they brought that
character back and they sort of tried to recon it like it was, oh,
no, you just dreamed that person died, Like what the fuck?
Yeah, what a cop out? Yeah, because they parody that in Who
Shot Mister Burns? When Smith's has the dream about mister Burns and he wakes
up in his apartment, he cops out the cigarette butts and things like,
oh, it was just a dream. No, it wasn't really anyway.
So it also stars Melanie Griffith as the on the audio tape as well.
I honestly thought that this was a rather cruel joke at the expense of the
lovely miss Griffith. Well, she did it herself. And then then I
stood at the end it's like, that's Melanie, because first of all,
I thought, we're doing this. Melanie Griffith impersonation is doing pretty good because
he's got a very distinctive, breathy, sort of baby gold kind of voice
that's quite well over these Melanie Griffith's you know, been around forever. Our
young and vital listeners will probably know her as the mum of Dakota Johnson,
star of the Fifty Shades movies. She I did not know that. Okay,
I know it now though. Yeah. But yeah, but Melan Griffin,
oh, as one might say, but yeah, it does have that
very kind of yeah voice, yeah yeah voice, And I'm like, oh,
you guys are taking the piss. That's a big crowl. And it
turned out to be Melanie Griffith, who is clearly a good sports in on
the joke. Yes, the chopboard gag because they had chopboard gag in this
one because they had spare time. Was so I can't speak French, but
I don't speak French. Written in French, so it's is it Jean palais
pass franca that's it. There you go, There you go. Someone is
someone who knows their French. There he goes. That's what it says on
the oms someone who doesn't know for so that's the only that's the French I
say when I'm in Franz Franz and the Ga. The cash game was the
photographer takes the Simpsons picture, which sets off a slideshow of events from two
thousand and six thirteen. We've seen this one before, well, Marge married
Jim Bell and things like that before this season as well. It was in
the yeah, we've seen it in season seventeen, haven't we. Yeah,
it's pretty oh this one. The episode kicks off a Bart this is the
stuff that was cut from the spelling as fast as I can episode. So
Bart's watching Bobberrella and it's funny because I was watching this and I'm watching it
going this feels I feel like I've seen this before and I haven't seen but
I feel like I've had a similar scene where it was like watching Boberrell.
We haven't had Bubarrella for a while. Bubarrella feels like a really like two
or three seasons ago character, and this makes sense now that they've explained that
it was thrown in there from from that era. So Bart is watching Bobberrella.
He thinks he's wasted his summer because it's nearly the end. I thought,
how fitting that we're reviewing this as summer is a battery end in the
United States. Literally, this is going to be released on the day when
summer ends. So long you as Summer. I had a very nice time
during you UK summer was the first week we got there. It rained for
the entire week and I was like, oh my god, of course it
is why wouldn't it be. I've come all the way to see summer and
it's raining in England anyway, But the last couple of weeks we're decent with.
I would comparing it to like a nice spring day in Australia. Something
was like, we had one what they called a hot day and it was
twenty eight. I was like, oh, you silly English. You were
like, you're like Homer in Australia's like, yeah, it's kind of hot.
Yes, Well, you know, just as our summer is ending for
our American friends and our English friends as well, we're finally making an exit
out of a rather chilly winter into spring. Our birthdays are coming, which
means the weather's getting better. Christmas is on the way, Halloween's on the
way, good times ahead. Indeed, coincidence that you know, better weather
comes along, just as Dandy when I made another year who knows? Who
knows? So Grandpa has his list as well, mentioned about Esther, Williams
and whatnot, and Bart tries to get everything done not ruined. His summer.
Also a gagged it probably yeah, I mean it's an historical name and
I don't think it's been completely stricken. For the record, but I don't
know if you can make a job a joke about it. I don't know
if you can make a joke about the Negro League these days. No,
Like, well, I guess you can. I mean why not? I
mean he's not making a joke about the league. The jokes and again more
about about the person But is it more offensive to say that you can't include
them in the joke? And you know that's not get into a discussion.
He goes win a baseball game, we get the parody of what's the film
that, Well, there's two here? This is a two fu, isn't
it, because the coach is clearly Walter Math are from the Bad News Bag.
Of course, yes, yeah again someone, This is why I thought
it was a Meloy Griffin and personalty, because it's a very good Walter Math
that one personator get in there simpthing Dan you said basis Homer off of him?
Oh? Of course your home voice. Yeah that's right. Of course
you had fun. You learned a little something too. Tuning into this episode
a full finger this game of Daddy, and then of course when Bart hits
the home run and fireworks start going off, it's a bit of a it's
a shout out to the climax of the Natural movie from the eight starring Robert
Redford as a baseball theme on. It's one of my late dad Dad's favorite
movies. Is it really feel like every dad has a sporting movie of some
kind it's one of their favorites. Like for my dad's for something, this
is not sporting with my dad loves happy gam but for something who comes to
favorite movies, my dad loves the movie The Warriors. Have you saying The
Warriors? Yeah, I've got an on blue R fantastic, absolutely loves The
Warrior. Not once the Warriors great great films a rose, but my dad
loves the movie The Warriors. Of other games like Warriors come out and play.
Oh good movie, great soundtrack. Yes, a lot to enjoy The
Warriors. Bought the Warrior's board game. Funk Ga made a Warriors board game
of four people, I was a funk game movie. It wasn't funk.
There's a Warrior's board game that a boy. I haven't played it yet,
but I'm really excited to play it. That actually makes a lot of sense
because the plot of the Warriors is essentially they've got to get from point A
to point B without getting killed by various gangs. Yeah. Yeah, great
movie The Warriors. Yeah, absolutely worth checking out if you can, if
you can find it, yeah, definitely. So yeah, so you got
the pizza party afterwards. Then he has to wants to appear in a summer
stop play a film not so great Grease too. Remember Grease too. People
are people are reclaiming great Grease. It's coming around, isn't it. People
are like, oh no, you know it was good Grease too. And
I'm like Grease too. I've watched it for a long long time. But
very early role for Michelle Fifer. Yeah, who was the heart throb that
the male lead. He's a guy named Maxwell call Field, Okay who honestly
he sounds like the butler from The Nanny. It's not he is English.
Although do you know the movie Empire Records? Of course I do. Yeah,
yeah, he's Rex Manning. Ah fuck Okay, yeah yeah, it's
Rex Manning day and he's and he's Rex Manning. Yeah, but he never
really sort of never hit it big. I mean, he's incredibly handsome,
Valley. He looked like the dude from the Princess Bride. He's got that
sort of ye little tought. Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking of the music
you know later on this episode when they go to the museum and you hear
that doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Do do do Do Do Do
do? That's the kind of a music expect to hear playing. When he
walks into a room, he sort of looked like Michael York who was you
know, what do you call it? He was homes Dad and homes paternity
cute, That's right, Yeah, that's what I was thinking of, And
yeah, homes perternity cut ye a bit like that anyway. But yeah,
there was that recent Grease TV series as well, Rise of the Pink Ladies,
that I think was kind of riffing on Grease Too a bit as well.
So, yeh, people aren't there gun, that's pretty good. I'm
like, I don't know it is it's Grease too? One has reproduction as
the song rebroduction? Is that Grease too? I think? So, I
don't think it's in Grease one. I think I know all the songs from
this one. Wasn't John Travoltan living in it? In John, I'm afraid
just na look as much as everybody loves Michelle fire for It's kind of like,
no, no, I just didn't work. No, it felt like
cash grabbing. It certainly was. But then he goes to see the Sun,
a blockbuster, which was a men in black riff. There they get
out of my way? Was it? You raggedy maggots? My face,
you raggedy maggots. That's why it must be seeing that, It's like,
that's what Will Smith was in that year. It's just that the dded catchphrase,
didn't he Yeah, it was like that makes this look good? Well,
you know, work on Earth is one of my favorite fucking lines in
the history of movies. It's just when it comes to sci fi films,
it's just the greatest. It's so stupid, but it's just it's you know,
and you know that that continues to this day. We know, keep
my wife's name out your fucking mouth the catchphrase, but it's the emphasis on
fuck fuck mouth mouth. I would never forget. The first time I watched
that, it was like it took took the world was processing for about ten
seconds of is this actually happening? Is this real? What am I watching
right now? It's just so I know, it's a dated reference. Now
I would go into it, but it was just you rewatch it now,
and it's just like it's so surreal, like Will Smith doing that was happening.
Here going on, It's like watching your childhood hero getting shot. It
was like, what is going on was happening. It's it's our version of
watching the JFK SASA. Really, where were you when Will Smith slapped Chris
rob Because I mean, you know, Twitter seems loud, but you know
you can't actually hear it. It's just you know a lot of people are
sort of typing and everything that so it sounds like a bit of a cacophony.
It was like Twitter went silent for like ten second, like and then
it was like hashtag the app. Everyone was just like, I don't know
what to do. They couldn't they couldn't read their fingers stunned to silence like
ten seconds because it was just like you couldn't look away, you know,
you just could not look away from it anyway. Yeah, And I mean
when I first sort of heard about it, I'm like, oh, it's
some kind of it's it's a stunt. It's a prank that has to be
a bit or they've got a film coming out or something. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, But then it's just like, oh no, this just happened,
and now we're just going to keep handing out off because like this should
have happened, and then we're going to give one to Will Smith. Dude.
It did that mus to be the most awkward room to be in for
the rest of the night, right, it really was. Yeah. I
mean you're hearing all these stories about I don't know, like alliances were being
drawn up, but some people were like, oh someone, so I went
and talked to Will and make sure that he was a right someone was sure
that Chris Smith's Chris Rocks all right got slapped really hard, is what it
got slapped by Will Smith. There's not a small guy, No, not
at all, that Will Smith because it Will Smith is because we we just
reviewed for our Going Down the South Pike, which is still available for free.
Can find it now when all of your various podcast apps. The episode
what was it called cat Orgyorgy Wicked wild wild West not a wild while we're
starring Will Smith. Yes, but then Bart's racing home. All the trees
are changing color. He's not done yet. He needs to find a summer
romance like that. I thought that was a nice visual gear. No,
I've got an outrun. I've got an outrun autumn. Yes, So he
finds the summer romance sort of like a Grease parody, not a Grease parody
of Grease reference. I guess with the summer lovin, but anyway he can
guess. So, but yeah, that what a queen that girl. Yeah,
a hundred boys in the summer, Yes, exactly. Bart gets home.
He said, I just had my first kiss and I was like what,
And I'm like, don't worry about continuity, doesn't matter. We've had
several episodes of Bart having his first kiss. Let's not get into it.
Over then says, you know your offer barter beer or whatever. When he
gets the third base and then ticks off on his list have fake interest in
the boy, and Lisa says, finally there's time now for us to go
to the museum. And they arrive and there's the show for this week or
whatever they think. In his Loom's Labor and Liberation, where it's the history
of women weaving and home, it's just Lucky's just disappointed. You can't believe
it. He goes to offer but a drink of his special water bottle.
This whole thing just wasn't even all that funny. But then it turns into
the the show, there's a history of museum sponsored by Kelloggs. I didn't
get the reference. They're sponsored by Kellogg's. What Calloggs like or something?
What? No, I guess the Kelloggs is like, it's breakfast cereal for
kids. You know, he's tone of the tiger. But he's just getting
you know, absolutely weaponized. Maybe, although I think they might have covered
their eyes legally, because I think normally a spell Kelloggs the breakfast cereal people
with two g's and this was only one. Okay, they should have caught
it. Kelloggs would have been better, right for the history of islence.
Oh why aren't you running for the simple anyway? Assistant? Yes, oh,
buy, I'd like a top of tea. But there's a really long
line, Flanders all the way at the front rest. The question why is
it the very fund of a line for a museum's gonna talking about the history
of weapons? Anyway? So Hermer cuts in and then everyone else cut in
front of Flanders. They end up at the back of the line. So
Flanders a good theory to make the kids feel better. Turnament, we'll feel
like we're at the front. But Hamma won't of them. Let them have
that time to do. Would I do best? Ruin it for everybody?
Hey Flanders, thanks for saving our place. But wait, wait, hold
the phone there home, dude, I was totally here. Are you calling
me a liar in front of my kids? Because I take a bullet for
you man right in the mouth. Oh fine, take the cut, ned
Flanders is doing out cuts? Hey for one? Which to part Acome said,
if bony here is getting cuts, I want them too. What disco
stew slads in front of you? Hear that? Run? Tell you what?
If we turn around, it'll feel like we're at the front of the
line. Yeah, no you don't. I'm everywhere. Then we're at the
Imax theater and the movie is Nunchuck's cool but useless, And I kind of
agree ridiculous. Yeah, I wholly disagree. You agree or disagree? I
well, I've never seen nunchucks used in person. I've never seen like.
I can imagine him being effective if you know how to use him, but
fucking knowing how to use him properly? It seems like a lot of work.
Yes, true. I mean, look, I initially thought this nunchucks
will look really cool when you're striking your pose and you're sort of flicking him
over your shoulder and like it's like Jesus, don't mess with this person.
It was the coolest ninja turtle. So I always wanted nunchucks when I was
a kid, not a Donna Tello. Dude. Well, if you were
a little bit of a geeky kid, you were done a Tello a kid
because he was the gadgets guy. If there's a bit of a smart ass,
you were the Raphael. If you were just the easy go like a
lucky sheep, you were Michael Langelo. Leonardo was the boring one. If
you're boring, likely no one Luckily Leonardo, Right, he's the leader like
off. That's like liking Cyclops. If you're into the X Men, yea
is the is the reserved mature big brother. Like I don't know, you
got fun love and angsty of the world. I have angst or smart you
know, good thinking, good thinking. Look, I initially thought, you
know, nun chucks, and they look great, but are they all that
effective? I writtenly saw John Wick Chapter four, Wait to watch it.
Though there's a lot to it. There's a lot going on. I just
can't find like, I can't book three hours in my schedule to sit down
and watch it yet, you know that's the thing. Yeah. But Keano,
God bless him, he seems to have learned every weapon on the face
of the earth to convincingly playing John Wick over four movies, breaks out the
nun chacks on this one and sort of has some guys his head pind or
table and just none chucking him. It's like, oh, that's how you
use because you don't just get a baton. Well true, but I mean
I think the chain gives you a little bit more sort of momentum. Momentum
yeah, okay, but anyway, yeah, Kiano bashing the shad out of
this guy's skull with nune chucks Like, oh, okay, I now get
the appeal. Okay. But then we have Maggie looking at the wall of
weapons. She takes out the knife and she holds march at ransom basically,
and then people ever tries the yard and the bullet vests. I did like
the end of that scene for like you think it's also like harmless and it
pans out and bulls have been fight everywhere in the room and everyone looks scared.
I'm like, that's exactly what would happen. I'm like, that is
true. I'll like that little pay off at the end. Then we have
Bart stretching Millhouse. Do you want to be in the NBA or not?
But I'm sorry, that just reminded me of just a bit from the very
early days of Jackass, where I think I've talked about this bass when Knoxville
and some mates went out to like weigh out of town, out of the
mountains or something, and he shot himself in the in the chest while wearing
a bulletproof like pull out a thirty eight and shot himself in the chest with
it, And the footage of it is like that really sort of grainy Blair
witch sty whole hogital video from like the late eighties, early two thousands.
It's like late eighties, late nineties. I'm sorry, but oh god,
this looks like a snuff movie everything before Jack asked we had that c K
Why remember c K? Why do you remember those? Oh yeah, camp,
Well, you can say the full name because it might be camp Kip
yourself. That's wanted. That's what it stood for it. But yeah,
I remember they've seen so many videos these days on YouTube where references to self
harm like that automatically sort of blanked out. Really yeah, not good anyway,
So that's why I was reluctant to say the full name. But you
know, screw, We'll just see what we want. This is a full
finger discount. But but as I said, but stretching Millhouse to try and
get into the NBA family or leaving Millhouse is now stretched looks very much like
stretched dude from the tree as of horror ten. I want to say it
is when but it is stretched dude. But then they leave, but Flanders
they're leaving, But Flanders is they haven't even got in yet. That's how
far the line had been. But then they lock it up and the homer
gives him the audio tape of Melanie Griffith just walking around and saying, this
one's nice room, this one's nice too. It just they make her sound
so dumb, don't they. But she'd voiced them though. She's willing to
go with it. This room's nice. Let's go into the next one.
This room's nice too, This room's nice. This room's nice too. This
room's nice too. This room's nice. This room's nice. This room's nice
too. The Hall of the Weapons has been locked out, well, the
history of weapons has been locked out now, but they can still go into
the Hall of Man and is where they discuss evolution and it's got unisex toilets
and Flanders is just not a fand at all the myth of creation. But
this is the thing if you've been raised to believe that, you know,
creationism is the thing I can actually buy into. Todd being like what's mummy
your monkey? Like like like that's oh yeah. It would be so confusing
for a child, wouldn't it. Like what do you mean? Yeah,
if you've been sold a bill of goods for you know, certain for all
your life, Yeah, of course you're going to go, well, that's
when you start making your logical you're quite unquite logical connections go well, if
this is the case, then there's nothing no, no, no, yeah,
I can really do a number on your whole Yeah, your whole belief
system. I love how that is. Sort of take the Micky as well.
It's like it's old lies, evolution, it's old lies. You told
us we came from a stock, you did it? It's like, oh,
so like everyone lies, that's why. And then you know, if
there's little kid is out there listening talent, turn us off for like a
minute, right, But I like to say the actual truth. But it's
like I've had someone I've discussed on the podcast say that they told their kids
about S A N T A right, And it's like, because I don't
like to my kids, And I was like, you know what, how
about you just fucking let them have a bit of a childhood, like okay,
like some lies are okay. No, some are okay. They're not
hurting it. It's just it's fun, you know what I mean. Anyway,
that just reminded me of that. But so then the church counceled meeting
is hardly anybody in there. I did like the sign at the front topic
religion at religion and Flanders is angry again side show mail, just randomly that
they can't get enough of their side show mail, can they? As I've
written down here, that's too much mail. That's in brak. It's two
scenes. Yeah, two scenes is just too much. Yeah, So Flanders
is angry that there's that. You know, there's no apes in the Bible.
How can you believe it? Why would they believe when it's not in
the Bible? And Helen loved Joyce suggests that this controversy could help to generate
some extra income since the Episcopalians have their vibrating seats over now across the road
and their church. And he says, well, I could be the white
Al Sharpton. Now Al Sharpton another reference for the young uns who may not
understand who he is. You want to give us a bit of a bit
of an African American community leader, the Reverend Al Sharpton. I believe the
time, didn't we? Yes? Yeah, I mean, look, I'm
loath to say the don king of religion, but had a very had a
very similar sort of style of delivery and appeal. A show man, wasn't
he? Yeh yeah, a civil rights activist as well. Primarily yes,
but yeah, you continue look up Al Sharkin. But Flanner suggests that they
are the ultimate theories to evolution to Skinner at school, and they threaten to
burn the Skinner's car lise if he doesn't actually listen to them. So now
they're going to be teaching creationism in the school and Ralph ass our Ocean God's
Tears. Skinner looks over to see for approval from Flanners and Reverend Love joined.
They approve. So then now Lisa is the Ralph as Ralph refer because
Lisa can't believe this is actually happening. So when I come back from commercial
and Skinner shows the video. So you're calling Guide a liar an unbiased comparison
of evolution and creationism. How can you teach the Book of Genesis as a
scientific theory? This helpful video will evade all your questions? High screen word.
So you're calling God a liar an unbiased comparison of evolution and creationism.
Let's say hi to two books. One the Bible, was written by our
Lord. The other, The Origin of Species, was written by a cowardly
drunk named Charles Darwin. Yeah, is this slander? Darwin was one of
the greatest mind of all time, then why is he making out with Satan?
Revolution is widely acknowledged. His scientific fact is even accepted by prominent conservatives
like George Will and the late Pope John Paul. It's something to think about.
The George Will, have you read this book, The Argin of Spaces
I've divide it. I have never read the argin of species. It just
seemed like way above my pay rate. They called Charles Darwin the cowardly drunk,
and he makes out with Satan just as you were discussing the elidist that
everyone plays dirty goodness. Lisa then gets home. She's really angry. She
says, you know, on a test, if every answer is God did
it? And Marge tries to explain that margin here is kind of not the
voice of reason, but she's the one saying can't we all just get along?
The moderate centrist that's like, like we can coexist, Like you can
believe that and they can believe that. And it doesn't mean that either one
is right or wrong. It's just let's just learn to live together and accept
each other's beliefs. That's all well known. Mad. Before we get into
that, I have a very important question. Why was Maggie in the bin?
I I didn't even write notes for that. I was like, I
don't get this, this just feels weird, didn't pay off anything whatever.
I just moved on. Yeah, I mean was she holding the switchblade again?
I mean I don't think she don't know. I think if she was
then it'll be like, oh, now she's got a taste for crime and
she's going to be holding up Marge for candy all the time. But it
was just like she's just in the bin. March happened, Marge just like
everyone the bin, and then Maggie was in there and I was like,
this is silly, doesn't make I didn't get it. If you know what
it meant. Let us know Simpson's mail, Bagerie, but don't come come
below. Lisa says, no, you get the cheese between science or belief.
So Lisa's very she's very black and white, and she's very like,
I'm right, you're wrong. She believes something like she's just very matter of
fact. She very hard to budge her and very would you say that she's
she struggles to what's the word compromise. By the end, she always does,
But at first she's very much initially gets very sort of dogmatic and very
sort of strict and and believes, yeah, because you know, I think
in this case, science is her religion. So you know that's she's going
to be quite zealous about that. You're right, But I think invariably she
learns to learns to as he said, compromise learns to find the find the
positive in both arguments. We're now having dinner and families all having dinner,
and Homer says he's opened the new ideas as well. But then he finds
onions with his peas and they ain't going to happen. I've got a friend
who has to separate everything on the plate, and they say they're not diagnosed
of anything. But I'm like, I'm pretty sure there's something something though,
but do a bit of that. He separates the food and then he has
to eat it all in particular order as well. Okay, so he separates
the veggies, everything has to be separate, not touching on the plate,
and eats it in an anti clockwise direction, so that meets is the last
thing that he eats on the plate every time. I don't think your friend
needs to be diagnosed. I think me not a doctor, can pretty pretty
solid diagnosis based on that. It's now a town meeting time. They're discussing
the disabled parks, as you're saying earlier, for smokes and pop tarts.
Yeah, Quimby, not just secrets but pop tarts. But notice, as
we always say, when it comes to these town meetings. It's either side
Mail, Lenny carl or Barney and it's again Lenny Carlin, this and such.
You know you've got You've got a whole town full of people. Is
him to take advance? They just forget now. Yeah, but Lisa says,
you know, you can only teach one theory. You can't teach both.
It's just not going to w you can't co exist. So of course
they go creationism. Now did you think it was interesting in that? I
feel like in the real world it would be you know, going evolution and
creationism would be the one having to try and fight to get in there.
Wherein the Sins universe, it's evolutions having to try and fight its way back
into the school system. I know Skinner was bright, but no, it
feels like that an entire town is against Lisa and against evolution, which which
is odd. Yeah. Look, I mean, I'm sorry, I should
do a little more. I shouldn't have done my wikipeding before we did this
episode. But I mean I'm keen to find out how many states in the
US favored creationism or what they read rebranded as intelligent design in favor of Oh,
this is what it was referred to around this time intelligent Design movement.
The next one is Intelligent Design Debunked. For meanwhile, Martin. Martin finds
a letter for the secret meeting that has been written by L. M.
S. This as we get the little mostes like gag, which it just
comes out of absolutely nowhere. It is so stupid, but I absolutely loved
it. Little Most is like it's little little some, like when someone's little
little Tom Jeffreys or something like little at the start. It's makes it so
much funnier to me. It does. I'm always astonished at how many hip
hop artists call themselves little something. Yeah, little John, but it's not
little, it's little l L Little John Nelson. He's in the meeting as
well. We realize he's in the wrong one. It's meant to be with
the bullies burning spiders. I think it was, which I thought, Oh,
that's very nice. Chapter one, when we compare the individuals of the
same variety or sub variety of our older cultivated plants and animals, Lisa Simpson,
you're under arrest for the teaching of non public of science. There are
so many worse crimes. Why are you persecuting me? Well, we only
have the man power to enforce the last lot past. You know, it's
not the best system, but well, in fact it's it's pretty much the
worst. You live. If you do, you live, if you do.
In the old days, you would have been all over that. And
then we cut to a scene with Snake just shooting people on a roof,
which I don't think you would have in an episode anymore, Like you live,
you don't, And I'm like, oh my, Usually Snake is just
like he's not actually really hurting people. He's just rubbing the quickie maut or
whatever, and he might shoot a pool or whatever, but it's not like
going out and just murdering people. This seemed like he was just murdering people.
He's not a random shooter. That's not for Snake. We know and
love. Yeah, even for Snake, this felt out of character. Now
the court case, this Gud versus Lisa Simpson, and we get Wallace Brady
as a prosecutor, and Wallas Brady was just absolutely hilarious. I really really
enjoyed it. In Brockman loved the reveal of him being on the jury as
well. But it's just dumb. It's just not going well from for Lisa
at all. Now there's a scene where they cut to the jury or gasping,
can't remember what was said exactly. I think it's Arthur Franks says something
or whatever. But they'll go and Lenny in that shot has no five o'clock
shadow. It's just it's just yellow. Yeah, unusual, Yeah it is.
I'll freeze frame it and chuck it up in the in the Patrion group
and I will make it happen. But they bring up the missing link theory,
the missing link, and then we get Wallace with the Bambi and the
mother who killed your your mother who's at the fire evolution, So Lisa,
they all arrive home the family and Lisa apologizes, you know, she should
have just gone with the flow, like you said, and he is just
like, ah, Now I feel bad for Lisa. Like usually usually I
struggled to feel bad for Lisa when she's being sort of like somewhat pompous.
But here I know they I thought the way that Jay Stewart Burns wrote her
in this episode, she didn't come across like a twenty year old in the
body of an eight year old. She came across like a kid. And
the fact that she gives up here, I'm just like, oh, you
know what. I thought she was very well written. It felt real the
way she responded to the situation. It did feel like the first time,
you know, you discovered that Esa n Ta is not Ria. Yeah.
Yeah, you're just like like, oh, no, I've had I've had
one of my big beliefs just sort of zipped away. Yeah. But it's
not even so much that it's not that she doesn't believe it anymore. It's
just that she feels defeated, doesn't she like, what's the point? You
can't system? Yeah? Or you know, yeah, you've got up against
the system knowing that you're right, and yeah, still you've got some rather
obtuse people just kicking it to the curb. I'm good. So she throws
her the Charles Darn book in the bin and Marge then reads it, and
I'm like, you know what, Marge, for all her faults, she's
smoking like she's one point. She's like at the at the baseball cage,
we're in a short shorts and she's in the shower with her hair all down.
I'm like, they always draw sexy, Marge. Haad down is always
sexy. As weird as that sounds, but Marge haad and is great.
I'm a fan. Yeah, always reminded. It reminds me of the I
think It's Homer alone where she goes to Rancho relax so and she sort of
sinks into the bar. Yes, yeah, please, I love it when
you're not into it by ignored me, I'm not even here. Really weird
scene here though, where Homers like he loves it when she's not into it.
I'm like, this just felt like something you might have like riffed in,
like the Writer's Room is a bit of a gay, but you don't
put it into an episode. It felt so I was like, hey,
what if what if home? Or was like more like Peter Griffin or you
know, what if more family? What's got a racy gags? Can we
get away with no home? And not being down with consent? Yeah?
This was a Peter Griffin gad to the fullest. Yeah, Millhouse then I
did not like it. It made me feel unpleasant. Yeah. Millhouse then
serves a he'll serve time whilst Lisa fleas to Mexico. She says, not
going to do that. Let's reveal that it's Nelson now what's this a reference
to the Puzzle Transition. I have no idea. I get the feeling it
might be like old school Mission Impossible something get smart on Mission Mission Him.
Let's go, let's do Puzzle Transition TV. Yeah, Puzzle trus I'm just
typing here, Puzzle Transition TV show. It's gonna be a TV show reference,
right, It's gonna be something. The Crystal Maze is a British game
show. Advice by Nah, I don't think it's that. The Bletchley Circle
drama. It's not it. Nah, It's weird, isn't it. Let
us know because it's not on the wiki page either. Let's go, let's
go. I'll type monkey soup and I go to the IMDb because sometimes I
have more info there in the trivia. So I go to the IMDb page.
Let's have a look. I'll go to the trivia there. I damn
it with your ads, all right, here we go, Here we go.
The first thing. The first thing came up. The two scenes of
Nelson removing his mask was supposed to feature the Mission Impossible theme music, but
the staff couldn't get the rights of the song, so Alf Clausen had to
create a unique motif there you go. So it was supposed to be a
Mission Impossible. Reference was they'd rip off the mask, but they couldn't get
the rights to the music. If you haven't seen the latest Mission Impossible,
are you of those movies I've seen? I'ven't ever seen the first three,
Yeah, but I've got them all penciled in because I'm just apparently it's getting
better and better, especially if Tom Cruise is doing his own stunts and shit,
like he's trying to outdo himself every time. Now, yeah, they're
really a gold standard stuff for me. But and let you know, the
masks sort of play a big part in them. You know, He's always
like, oh my god, you thought it was Philip Seamoffer, but now
we pulled off a mask in the Tom Cruise or something like that. And
someone someone on social media said, because I think the next Mission Impossible one
might be the last one, supposedly because Tom Cruise is getting a bit old
and can't be jumping out of planes or holding onto rockets anymore. And I
think it's like, wouldn't be great at the very end they pull off a
mask. Tom Cruise pulled off a Tom Cruise masking was like a melee West
of Bits because he's from in the first movie. It's like, at least
shit, they played the long car full circle anyway, that'd be neat.
I just says here. In Rolling Stone magazines June twenty eighth, nineteen ninety
cover story about The Simpsons, it called Homer Simpson a man whom evolution has
laughed. Hear the law again in this episode, the law against teaching evolution
is struck down because angry Hommer resembles the picture of what an evolutionary missing link
would actually look like. Anyway. But yeah, thank you I am dB
for clearing that up for us. So it must they must say that in
the audio commentary they were going for them for the music. It couldn't get
a mission impossible refeah, because it must have been. I was if it
doesn't have that the music don't don't don't don't don't I mean I do do
do do? I was like there could be any bloody spy show from the
sixties or seven talking. It was so obscure that you knew it was something.
But like mission Puzzle doesn't have the puzzles they does it. I don't
think so, like it feels no. I mean I think they mentioned the
old TV series The Saint in there as well. They could have something to
do with it maybe maybe anyway, but yeah, so so Nelson really reveals
it he's the he was Millhouse in that scene, which is just weird.
It just felt so out of place to have it this episode, Like what
was the point? You know what? I mean? Just what why?
I mean, because it's sort of like it's a spive episode. It's like,
what's going on? I know there's a lot in this episode. As
we said, it's got a really solid foundation, and you know, it's
got some good gags that are relevant to that throughout the whole thing, but
then occasional just throws in these just weird little non sequents that you know,
and sometimes they work a treat, but in this case, it's like,
no, you've got a perfectly good thing going here, don't you know,
but a little most is like is one thing right? But like, yeah,
I direct reference to something like if it was an episode it was about
like spies or something like that, it would make sense, but in an
episode about evolution and things like that just felt I'd like save that for an
episode that makes sense. It feels like it's fitting the theme with the episode,
like you're going for like a serious I know that it's not a serious
moment because Millhouse's dressed this Leasa he's gonna go to go to prisoner blah blah
blah blah. But it's a somewhat serious theme and then you've got this random
shit in there. Yeah, I mean it's it's it's a serious part of
the of the story and that you know, Lisa's faith is kind of in
sciences on a dwindling, and Madge comes up with the solutions like yeah,
it's gonna it's gonna be great. You know, it's like, oh,
this will lead us into the final Uh it's not final acting sort of final
sequence like oh cool, But then you put this weird button on the end
of it with like no, that's an ass at all, that's actually Anielsen's
like no, not bin. Yeah. Back at the courtroom now, mister
Flaggers, you're familiar with the Bible, correct as familiar as it's proper to
be. Don't worry, Lisa, I've got the answer to your problems right
here. Look call me. I brought you a beers marge, a twist
off. Come hurt, and you are positive that man and ape cannot be
related as sure as I am that Jesus hates hip hop man open I what's
in you as a matter can't where I'm trying to. Yeah, yeah,
market face go roller, and Flanders knows where he mits you know I'm wrong
because she holds up the photo of the of the missing link with with Homer.
Marge can't wait to see what we're volution will make next. You know
what was she just could be? I know, like a bird with a
people face bear with pants on. Yes, And then Lisa says to Flanders,
you know what, I respect your beliefs, but you know, I
don't think you should be taught in school as much like science shouldn't be taught
in church like you would believe. And then it's revealed that Todd is Nelson.
I'm like, it's almost like at the last minute they're like this would
be funny. It's like it just crowned these random too fucking like Nelson moments
into the episode. Weird. Yeah, I mean, if you'd had one
at the very start and one at the very end, like we had Nelson
at the at the in the meeting, remember and then he went and went
to go burn Spider. So we've already had Nelson in the episode. It's
just weird, get it? But look, I mean we've said in the
past, how you know a bad ending can taint a good episode, or
a good ending can redeem a bad episode. This is not a good ending.
I mean, well, actually, no, it's a good ending.
Just that final little bit is not that great. The damage is that there's
not enough damage done to make one go, hey, the monkey suits.
There was a table episode. No, it was good, it was pretty.
It was not a bad episode. A bit of fun with this one.
Definitely enjoyed it. What do we learn Palmer? All right, what
did you learn from the episode? Mister Davis? What did I learn from
this episode? That I really shouldn't have studied for a Bachelor of Arts?
I really should have gone for a PhD in truthology from Christian Tech? Christian
Tech. Yeah, what's the closest thing we have to Christian Tech in Geelong?
Yeah? Oh golly, I don't think we have anything right? No,
No, I mean, I'm sure there are various religious schools like Lutheran
and Catholic and all that kind of stuff, but ones that are just you
know, God's best. I don't know. Well, I learned that I'm
never going to beer unless he has reached third base. Get on, when
that's done. From this knee forward, your names will be all right,
missus Davis, It's time for the New Name Championship. We haven't done this
for like five weeks. Just we're gonna know, pull back the curtain.
Basically, we're about to start recording guys like we've done new names. I'm
like, shit, that's right. We do extra stuff, don't we.
We make extra work for ourselves around here. Dando, you were honest to
a fault. We could have, you know, kept the whole ruse going
that this thing is blind. I mean it is blind. You know,
it's I don't know who's who's doing the who's submitting the names. We sort
of pull them out of a hat blindly, and it's like, yeah,
well I like that name, but I didn't know who submitted it this time.
I looked at the list with the names attached, but I did not
let my you know, appreciation for say, Talio and Riquez. Sorry Tarlio
didn't get one of this round. I didn't let that. What did I
say Talia, you said, Tyler, Yeah, I thought it was Talia.
Should we start again? No? Okay, then, missen Rikers,
I apologize unreservedly. But the upshot of it is, I've got three alternative
titles for the Monkey Suit here. I really didn't pay too much attention to
the names. I was just looking at the titles. So let's go with
it. Shall we down know when I start? Or before we do that?
Do you want to sort of talk about who's doing well on the leaderboard?
Yes? So the current leader board stands with in third position, we
have a two way tie Adam Moorehouse and David Mott. In second position,
Kyle Muldoon Heath Appleby on twelve points. That the guys in the third were
on ten. I don't know whether I've said that. In the first position,
me have Luke McKay on seventeen points, So hit me, what did
we got? It's funny you should mention that because one point goes to Luke
McKay O. Luke's now in eighteen points. That makes him six clear of
second way. I'm pretty sure he's gonna win because any one episode unless come
less do we get three points? Now? Who knows? Unless we go
for triple points or something with the final one. I don't know that would
spectacular. Luke gave us a lovely Troy McLure reverence were by retitling this episode
Hail to the Chimp. Hail to the Chimp. Alrighty, I think that's
Troy McLure, isn't it. Yeah, Hail to the Chimp. Yes,
two points go to Richard gayfar Richard alrighty? Two points now gave us Richard
now on I believe three points. Richard was on one, is on three
points one. Richard does one. Richard for Homer Sapiens. Not bad,
not bad at all. I like it, but three points. The new
name for the monkey Suit is the doll region of species You and your Does
you love it? I love them? The kid is guys and that was
given to us by one Fergus jeffs. Fergus Jeff STAFFORLKS is in the Okay,
so Fergus is now in fourth position on nine points. Well done,
Fergus. I'm near Fergus. And that is the new name challenge for the
Monkey Suit episode of the Symptoms of four Finger Discard. So now Luke McKay
cannot lose first position, while on Luke, you've wanted it again. Luke
McKay's done it again. I'd done eighteen points. He can't lose it.
He's six ahead of second. But we can see if Heath Appleby or Kyle
muldoon you can get three points next week and try and claim second position and
third as well. We've got David Mott and Adam Moorehouse both on ten points.
All right, so now it's time we get into some mail. Bad
questions, Demail demail is here. Okay, so we've got here. First
question, of course, is from Andrew JP. Andrew says, favorite religious
themed movie mine is the Life of Brian one of the best Monty Python movies,
religious themed movies, religious themed movies of angels? Is that religious thing?
Can we go of Michael? Yeah? Why not? What about you?
My favorite religious theme movie is Martin Scorsese is The Last Temptation of Christ.
Came out in nineteen eighty eight, starring Willem Dafoe. Was JC a
writer in the US who I really respect, said it got to meet Martin
Scorsese and said to him, if Church may made me feel the way Last
Temptation makes me feel, I go every Sunday, and I have to agree.
It's, yeah, just a terrific movie. It's it's really well put
to get an incredibly acted, fantastic soundtrack by Peter Gabriel. I watch it
nearly every Easter, just a sort of Okay, get back in touch with
my Catholic slash religious roots a little bit, because no, no, it
just works for me. It's it's a I think it's a wonderful movie.
I mean, not even wonderful is the wrong term for it. Tremendous movie.
Okay, I'm going to make it more lighthearted. I'm going to say,
Bruce Almighty starting Jim Carrey, Can I go with that one? Absolutely?
Again? It's got God in it played by Morgan Freeman. I but
I remember the moment it was like I got the power and makes the fire
hydrant go off. That was like killing. I was like ten would I
was a be Jim Carrey fan as a kid. Were you a Jim Carrey
fan in the nineties for that very brief period where he really burst out?
Yeah, I mean it's like, wow, this guy is just grabbing things
by the scraffling neck and shaking the hell out of it. I mean,
having was it like Ace Mantua of the Mask and Dumb and Dumber, all
like in the space of what seemed like eighteen months to two years. It's
like, oh shit, there's guy's everywhere and he's just you know, it's
so full of beans. And you know, then he did a couple of
other things like The Truman Show, which you know, we reviewed on the
movie Guys and both really enjoyed and both gonna let out of Eternal Sunshine of
the Spotless Mine it's a fantastic movie as well. And you know there's of
course movies like Bruce or Mighty La Liar. Yeah. Look, he's got
a lot of good stuff to his credit. I mean, do we really
hear much from him in these days? I mean, he still makes movies.
I guess it still does stuff, but I think he doesn't quit Hollywood.
Basically he hates he hates Hollywood. He hates everything about it. As
a painter, now he does a lot of painting. Apparently artwork is really
up my alley. But no, for that that period there, I mean
he was just absolutely slaying it. And yeah, he was such a pleasure
to watch, I mean, such a such a joy to watch one of
my one of the most inspirational quotes I've ever heard was from him. He
was doing like a speech up I think like maybe the university he went to
or something, and he was talking about how his father was like an accountant
and he hated it, you know, and then one day he just and
then you know, he did it for years and years and years and though
he hated it, and one day he lost his job. And he goes,
in that moment, I realized, after twenty years or whatever, you
know, just lost his job. That was it. And He's like,
in that moment, I realized, And it's what sort of inspired me to
sort of do this podcast. I think quit my job. He was like,
you can fail doing what you don't love, so he may as well
take a chance doing what you do love. You know, makes a lot
of sense. Well, well said Jim, and well well followed Dando.
Yes, all right. Next question here comes from Talia, and it gets
She says, what is your opinion over the fact that successes of dinosaurs are
actually chickens and other birds you look at like crows and magpies. You're like,
you guys, are the t rex of like the Australian Wilock. What
should they walk around? It's like they know they're the king. I've seen
I've seen a fucking crow just pick up a sparrow and just fly off with
it, you know. Oh yeah, that's funny. A good friend of
mine she had a stage where, you know, she was putting minced out
for these for these magpies and crows and they'd come and get it and they
were like very friendly and they might need to do that. Yeah. Yeah,
they bring like a little rock back or something. It's like, you
know, I'm not I'm not a free loader here you go to this payment
all that kind of stuff, Like, oh, these guys have clearly got
a little bit going on upstairs. Intend to think, Oh they're cute and
they're you know, they've got their communities and all that. One day I
walked on my back door and they were like two crows that had either killed
or found this other dead bird and they were just like dissecting it with their
beaks and just ripping in it. Even like oh my god. It's like
it was like, you know, walking on your parents having sex or something.
Yeah. Look, I don't disagree with the whole yeah thing. About
birds and chickens and all that kind of stuff being evolved from evolved from dinosaurs.
I love the idea that you know, there are some species that have
just evolved. They don't need to evolve anymore. They're just perfect as there.
They've sort of reached. Like it's like crocodiles or sharks. It's like,
no, we don't need to, you know, improve anymore. We
can do. We're we're apexed it. We've polly apexed. It's funny when
you talk about dinosaurs and the evolution been chickens because you think of Veloso rapp
is. Apparently Veloso rap has actually had feathers like the size of chickens.
Right, they're like big chickens. I've heard that. Yeah, that's why
people say that Steven Spielberg as great as he as great as his films were,
just the park bringing interest back to dinosaurs and things like that. They're
completely shaped kids, mind, it's what dinosaurs actually were, Like Doloposaurus,
right, didn't have the frills. He added that for the visual effect for
the movie. But like some things were Delosaurus. Now they think of the
fucking frill neck lizard. Right, they didn't have that floss raptors didn't look
like that at all. You know, it's just big Steve. You if
you heard our latest going down the South like you're not, we're talking about
there. All right, we'll do We'll do one more question. Okay,
Adam Warhouse. So museums, what's the course artifactor presentational collection you've ever seen?
I will never forget walking into the museum in I believe it was New
York and seeing the skeleton of the t rex. I was like, oh,
yeah, that's actually that's a fucking dinosaur. But that's like, that's
actually a real dinosaur. I got to knock you out. Yeah, it
was crazy. I was just like wow, like, no, these things
did exist and they were that big. Yeah. Please your mind when you
when you're when you see them the bones, it's like wait a minute.
No, Whilst you know, we've got toys of them and we watched them
movies and things like that, when you see the bones, it is like,
wait a minute, these things actually existed and they ran this planet.
You know. Yeah, I don't know. The jury is still out on
that one day. And though I think they're you know, I think God
might have put some dinosaur bones there just to mess with it. Ranking the
order is from Ian Acidly Ranking the order in which your favorite song of the
following Arctic Monkeys, the Monkeys, gorillas, ranking the order, and which
is your favorite? Okay, so your three? So how do you have
Arctic Monkeys, the monkeys and gorillas and what was your favorite song? I
get the feeling Arctic Monkeys. I mean I know of them, and i'd
probably know some of their songs if you if you've played them for me right
now. But at the same time, I think they might have been around
in the period where I was like, music's not really for me anymore,
or I would have trouble. Like anyone who's a fan of Arctic Monkeys is
probably going to be like, oh my god, guy, you suck,
because I mean, like I'm like acting monkeys they are they like imagine dragons.
I mixed up the Hives and the Strokes, for instance. So it's
that kind of thing. So I'm gonna I'm gonna take you out of your
questioning love the latest the New Arctic Monkeys music like that that they're When they
first came out, they were like you've heard that. I bet you look
good on the dance floor. You know that song. Oh, very British
pop rock kind of sort of kind of style, right, but now they've
evolved into more of like a band ead sea at a fucking jazz jazz hall,
you know what I mean. Like that's like a Swoons. Like they're
completely different. And I remember I listened to I watched them live. I'm
like, guy, would did this? I just sending this video like I
feel like you'd really like I feel like you'd really like the Actic Monkeys,
like the Monkeys after we're done here. So look, I'll send you some
songs because their last album, they're released like last year. I wasn't a
fan. I have to They're one of those bands where every album is completely
different from the previous one, Right, the first two were very similar,
then they evolve each one and you listen to it and it's because it's not
what you are used to. You're like, oh, this is crap,
and then when you listen to it after a while, you're like, oh,
no, this is actually pretty good. So I'll send you a couple
of songs that I think are worth listening to, and we'll see. We'll
get you your thoughts on the next episode. Of four figure discus. I
only appreciate that, but my apologies to Winn Astley. Okay Rick Astley,
but yeah, first, the monkeys are gorillas, a big gorillas for you,
right, Oh, it's absolutely gorillas. Gorillas is is topping that list.
And my favorite song of there's is Dare. I love Dare? Okay,
although what's the one that has my mend Bruce Willis and the film clip?
But that was kind of good. I just know that that's Dare,
isn't all? Oh no, that might be something gorillas stylo Is it the
one? Yeah? Yeah, stylo. Yeah, there you go, stylo.
Uh and yeah, the Monkeys come second, and I would say day
Dream Believer with them a little over that so maybe last train to Clarksville.
Okay, Now they have the song I was singing, by the way,
is feel good inc. That's the song that I was sinking before. That's
right also good? Yes, yeah, that one a song for some reason
I'm really did get. The Arctic Monkeys is from like two albums ago,
like long a decade ago and I reckon When it came out, it's called
number one Party Anthem. I like send it to my sister yesterday. I'm
like, it was what I've done recently is for like the last five years,
I said to Nicola, all have been listening to his fucking kids songs,
you know, Spidy songs and the Wiggles and shit, And I said,
I want to start listening to my music again. So now in the
car, I just put on my music and I'm going back and read listening
to all the bands that I used to like love when I was like,
you know these that shape you between fifteen and say twenty one twenty two,
all these bands that I really liked, like Arctic Monkeys and Hives you brought
up the Highs before and things like that, And I'm like, it's bringing
back all these like feelings and emotions. I'm like, i feel like I'm
coming alive again. I'm like, oh, this is who I am.
It's it's the great and magical thing about music is the is the the the
instant time machine. Yeah, from the youth as well. I'm reborn.
I was like, oh, I'm becoming me again. I'm listening to my
music and yeah, like I remember, yeah, that's great last night and
they can just stay in the car. I put the Arctic Monkeys album one.
It's like randomized John Shuffle and Spotify and number one party Anthem came on
and I was waiting for like Nicola, she was like going into the post
office. I'm sitting there and I instantly just closed my eyes and smartest to
start swaying, and I'm like, it's it's like, I'm just I know,
I've become me again. I was just like, it's amazing, how
like the music and just can immediately just transports you to another world, you
know, yeah, oh god, yeah, absolutely, oh yeah. I
mean it just makes vivid and crystal clear the memories of that particular time when
you were hearing it. Yeah, oh god, Yeah, all right,
good question, thanks for Ian Astley. And final one he Andy Gangla.
If you have to pick a famous monkey or ape to be a relative,
who would you choose. I'd go Donkey Kong as as my uncle. He
still got it, he still got it, still got it. There was
a cartoon in the seventies when I was going up called the Great Grape Ape.
Oh yeah, yeah, fifty feet high and apparently a hell of a
guy. So yeah, I'm going to choose him. Yeah apparently. So
the jury still out on that one. What about the monkey from Rampage to
the video game, Like, he'd be a cool little big brother to have.
He'd defend you absolutely, And no, what fuck if you if you
had Rampage, they took my milk? Money comes out? Fucks everybody up.
Who would be the most embarrassing ape relative to have rand the guy that
would always ruin Christmas? Oh? Do you know that movie Nope? No
by Jordan Peel who did get Out. I don't don't know John Peele is,
I don't know the movie Nope though, okay, Nopes his latest one,
Okay, the last one he did was Usked that I saw. Yeah,
yeah, Well Nope came out I think last year or the year before,
but it's on Netflix now. Didn't respond to a couple of it.
Didn't respond to that as Nope anyway continues, that's such a writer. There
is a bit, well, some some pivotal stuff in Nope involves a chimp
that does some very bad things. So yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna say,
Gordy the chimp from Nope, I'm not the one you won around.
I'm thinking the monkey that became a viral sensation when the Internet first came around
that sniffed its own ars and fell up the bait the branch. Remember that
guy, Oh all the monkey the peas in its own man. Yes,
yes, it's one of those guys. Will be will be the most I
ever told you that. You told me about it numerous times. That's true
off air, and now everybody knows it's not true. It never happened.
A good mate of mine, who was a music review reviewed Jet's first album,
not Jet Your Lovely Dog, but Jet the Stream. He did not
like it, and instead of writing anything, he just put a clip of
a monkey pizzing in its own mouth. Really didn't like. I think it
got the most. I got the most kids that I was like a teenager.
But so that came out in two thousand and three, I want to
say so I would have been how old fifteen ishif fourteen fifteen? So it
was right in my wheelhouse. It was huge for our our demo. Oh
yeah, look, I won't say I'm a fan, but I mean I
can listen to it and go like Girl is one of the most iconic songs
of that era. They're pretty good pop songs. I mean in terms of
like dn't dn't dn't didn't. Yeah, I mean, you're gonna sort of
like you're gonna shake your head. The fucking there's no wonder that Jobs use
it for the iPod, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, so
you know, hopefully Nick Chester and the best of the jet Boy and the
rest of the jet Boys of you know, cashing quite nicely. And you
know I can now you know, I sit on a beachourne in twenty percent.
I wonder how much Jet were paid for the use of that song in
the original iPod ad because who would who was to know that the iPod was
going to be the success that it became, right, you know, but
you've just we've all seen the Jobs film. We've let you know that the
iPod Apple were nearly fucked. You know, the iPods saved them. So
I won't if they will pay like a one if feet or whether they had
like residuals like because you would have hoped a guy that you would have gone
residuals, But how would you have known that you would have gone, Well,
it gonna be paid played for years. I want my money. I
guess maybe for commercials it's always residuals forever, is it? I don't know.
I don't know either. I mean it's something to look into, because
you know, I'm our acting and writing friends in the US are currently walking
around with their pickets own saying, yeah, still give us, give us
some more money, and then after that, give us some more money.
That's that's been gone for like three months now, right, if not more,
that's been going on a while. It really has how much Jet paid
for iPod commercial? Let's see if it's got anything on here? Look?
Uh no, that is a picture of the guy from Deat saying none of
all business anyway? All right? That is our review of the Monkey Suit.
