00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.799
I think you're my puppy. I
found this letter you wrote to my mom

2
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:11.800
Mona Simpson. Dear God, I
always dreamed this day would come, and

3
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:17.320
now that it's here, there are
so many feelings. I oh possible,

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:24.000
Daddy. I'm sorry, I got
a little carried away there perfectly. All

5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:47.560
right, here's your comeback four finger
discount due. Welcome to fourthinger Discount,

00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:56.079
here's a review episode h ab F
zero three. It is Homer's paternity coot.

8
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.479
I am Danda and I am that
suave new stranger guy doing today,

9
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.560
mister dandel all right, doing very
good, fresh off our excursion to Melvin

10
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.159
yesterday. That's true. We brave
the wilds of super Over. Yeah,

11
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.200
ventured among the nerds, the dorks, the geeks and the dorky nerdy geeks,

12
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.200
and we blended right in, didn't
we. We certainly they said welcome

13
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:25.400
when a this have some juice or
some shocking heads. But it was great

14
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:26.640
year. We went to super and
over visited our friends up there, and

15
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.599
we had a very special meeting with
someone that we won't discussed just too much

16
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.560
detail just yet, but we're very
very very big announce we're coming here soon

17
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.879
on the four finger Discount network that
we're incredibly excited for, So stay tuned

18
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.120
for that one. I know you'll
definitely know what I'm talking about when we

19
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.120
announced it. It's a pretty big
deal. Things are a bruin at four

20
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.400
Fingered Discount HQ. Yes, so
we're talking a lot about Simpsons HQ.

21
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.719
I think we'll be able to start
talking about four Fingered Discount HQ in the

22
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.799
same breath. Exactly right. Yes, so that's going to be coming up.

23
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.840
Yes, I enjoyed my excursion.
So basically we have to go up

24
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.680
to super over to discuss something of
somebody guys like, oh drive, I'm

25
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.879
like cool, saves me the hassle. Get up there. We have a

26
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.200
good time, and then we went
how was the donuts? Because we made

27
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.200
a bit of a detra on the
way home because guy he had found this

28
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:07.759
cafe, plugged the cafe, why
nut go for what was it called peck

29
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:14.560
deck or something? It's called pecks
Is it pecks road cheap meals something like

30
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:15.919
that. I'm not sure as pecks. It was a bit of a detO

31
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.599
on the way home. But like
guy had his heart set on these donuts

32
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.960
and they looked delicious. It was
very home mares got me to make a

33
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:29.800
half hour detour into the wilds of
the Melbourne suburbs. Out of Suburbs because

34
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.919
I had a Facebook post that had
come up saying, look at these donuts

35
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.680
and I'm like, those donuts that
were real good. I'm gonna go gets

36
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.599
up. They weren't too bad.
The strawberry Crawler I had last night was

37
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.400
really very nice, oh yesterday afternoon. The Apple Fretter I had this morning

38
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.039
not too bad, a little too
sugary, and I've still got one more

39
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.479
to go. Yeah, because he's
like this has been my morning tea for

40
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:54.479
the next week or today. It's
like I'm going to spread these out over

41
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:01.800
the week and I bought three and
two have already gone. Stame on you

42
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.039
for making such great donuts. But
the funniest part of it the trip home,

43
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:07.479
was we pull out of this Supermark
honestly Ope with cafe, like the

44
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.479
little car park area. We turn
left and it's a round about right there,

45
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.319
and I knew we had to go
right to get out, but it's

46
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.199
one way. It a bit to
turn left. I'm like, I'm assuming

47
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.680
we just checking you were here,
and then go's like, now Google Map

48
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.759
says a bit the straights, where
I'm like, that's the opposite direction where

49
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.919
we have to go. But oh, I'll just go with it whatever.

50
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.840
We drive about two hundred friends at
the road, we get to another round

51
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.280
about, do a hue, and
we get back to the round about.

52
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.680
So we could have just hue at
the moment. Fuck you, Google Maps.

53
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.439
I am. I am very much
a twenty first century boy now in

54
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.159
that I cannot make up my own
mind when it comes to directions or anything.

55
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.520
I have to follow what the map. Well, Google Map says,

56
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.400
what Google does, what Google says, goes. Yeah, I know Google

57
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.400
says, got up there. But
common sense sharp avail and say we should

58
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.400
just go that way straight away.
Look, you gotta listen to common sense.

59
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.280
But we're here to review Homeless Paternity
Coop. Before we do that,

60
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.280
though, I just want to let
you guys know that, first of all,

61
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.280
thank you for chinning to the show. We do appreciate all of your

00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.400

00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.800

64
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.879
to right out in the show.
It's Simpsons Mailbag at gmail dot com.

65
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.080
We'd love for you guys to find

66
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.840

69
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.800
five hundred reviews on our Spotify page
as well, So try and make that

70
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.439
happen this week. I know you
guys can make that happen, but so

71
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.959
homis paternity. I really enjoyed this
episode. I think seven season seventeen is

72
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.360
on a bit of a roll at
the moment. They're on a winning streak

73
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.759
at the moment that we've had a
few good episodes in a row. Fingers

74
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.120
cross, they keep the street running
this Yeah, I really enjoyed this episode

75
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.399
felt I know we say this a
lot when we are pleasantly surprised by the

76
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.720
quality of an episode in a later
season, but it felt kind of vintage.

77
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.480
It felt like it wouldn't be out
of place in the earlier dare we

78
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.279
say, better seasons, But then
no way. I had a great time

79
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.199
with this one. A fantastic guest
star performance and a couple of really just

80
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.920
neat cameos that were just well,
well chosen and well performed, but and

81
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.120
a solid story all the way through. Yeah, it wasn't too It wasn't

82
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.800
not whacky because I final lately they've
sort of had a story about Marge or

83
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.240
by whatever, and Home is doing
something just completely whacky on the side,

84
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.759
because you know, hey, we
would have Home doing something this one.

85
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.199
Whilst it is kind of whack in
the sense that oh I might not Grandpa

86
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.560
might not be home as real father, I thought they felt that they kept

87
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.879
it quite grounded still, which I
really enjoyed. But I just thought Michael

88
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.519
York as Mason Fairbanks was fantastic.
And he was part of the audio commentary

89
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.680
for the episode, and he can
just tell by the way he talks about

90
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.959
it that he really just appreciated the
opportunity to be on the show. He

91
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.040
holds the Simpsons in such high regard, which says something you know, for

92
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.480
the Simpsons, But he says that
he was just incredibly nervous going into the

93
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.000
show. He just didn't want to
fuck it up, basically, and he

94
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.079
didn't. I thought he was really
good as Mason Fairbanks. He really didn't

95
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.920
know. I mean, Michael York's
one of those guys who has sort of

96
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.439
been around forever for guys of my
vintage. Well, I think it wasn't

97
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.160
too long ago, whether it was
on four Finger Discount or one of the

98
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.879
many other shows on the four Finger
Discount network that I was talking about one

99
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.319
of my favorite sci fi movies of
the seventies, Logans Run. He was

100
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.240
the eponymous logan in that one.
Yeah, but younger viewers people of Dando's

101
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.399
Ilk might know him as Basil Exposition
from the Austin Powers movies. Yeah,

102
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.000
but he's a He's a guy who
has just worked forever. He just from

103
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.040
his name, to his look,
to his voice, everything about him just

104
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.160
says I'm English. And he said
that he was tossing up which accent to

105
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.000
use. Does he get Cockney and
does get Northern? But he just went,

106
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.879
I just kind of went my voice
just tweet that slightly. He's like,

107
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.360
let's not have a complication. Yeah, let's just say that went a

108
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.920
British accent. My accent sounds pretty
British, like pretty lighty d kind of

109
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.120
cliche British. So let's just run
with it. You know. I think

110
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.160
he added maybe just a little extra
plum to it. It's a it's a

111
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:58.160
little bit more plummy than usual,
but it really works for this scenario,

112
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:02.120
for this particular character and the situation
that that Homer finds himself in with this

113
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.439
new father figure in his life.
I mean, Homer is, shall we

114
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:12.439
say, the opposite I've sophisticated.
So to have perhaps the most sophisticated voice

115
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:18.879
self, most sophisticated voice ever heard
coming out of this man who's maybe Homer's

116
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.040
father, is just just great comic
setup. Yeah, and I like the

117
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.720
way that, you know, in
a nor situation, you'd go, why

118
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.079
would this rich guy want to bring
Homer? But it's like, this guy's

119
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.399
been so lonely his whole life,
he's always wanted to meet Homer. So

120
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.800
regardless of how you know the opposite
Homer is to what he is and his

121
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.839
lifestyle, it's like, well,
he's my son. I'm just going to

122
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.600
cling onto this gig because I've I've
always wanted to meet him, you know,

123
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.759
I've in my mind he's always been
my son. I know he's my

124
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.319
son. Turns out he was wrong, but um, but yeah, I

125
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.680
just love the way that you know, he just he's willing to just take

126
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.240
Homer in the family because he's like, hey, he's my kid. It

127
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.480
was kind of a sweet gesture as
well, or a quite a kind of

128
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.800
a sweet term because I think we've
seen a lot of episodes in the past

129
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:03.439
where there have been family reunions or
long lost relations or offspring sort of showing

130
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:09.680
him on the scene and generally being
embarrassing or someone is embarrassed by at one

131
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.279
at one or both sides of the
equation. For example, the Manatees episode

132
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.560
where Homer goes to see his random
cousins that live on the farm or whatever.

133
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the
one that we didn't quite get the

134
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.000
episode. We were like, what
what's the deal here? But yeah,

135
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.879
Mason Fairbanks was a very sweet gentleman. Was He was clearly kind of taken

136
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.600
aback by some of Homer's more vulgar
qualities, but you know, he didn't

137
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.480
judge him on him or anything like
that. It was just more like,

138
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.320
no, he was very accepting and
just a gentleman all around. Yeah,

139
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.840
a nice character and a very nice
performance by mister York. He did have

140
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.440
a good job with the design of
Mason as well. I think in the

141
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:52.879
sense that he looked not like Homer, but enough where you go it could

142
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:54.759
be he's dad. You know,
it's not. If you look at it

143
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.679
now knowing that he's not his dad, it's like, oh, it doesn't

144
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.440
really look like him. But there
was enough to design just particul the mouth

145
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.519
where it's like I can buy this. Maybe also also in the body shape,

146
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.240
I mean, yeah, yeah,
I mean, homes clearly goes let

147
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.240
himself go or just you know,
doesn't say no to seconds or anything like

148
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:15.200
that. Mason Fairbanks as an older
man who's sort of kept himself in relative

149
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:16.639
shape, but it's like, well, you've got that kind of body that,

150
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.879
as you get older, is going
to get a little more barrel shaped.

151
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.600
And yeah, I mean, I
think we're so used to seeing Homer

152
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.879
an Abe next to one another,
and you know, their designs are so

153
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.519
similar. It's like, of course
they're father and son. But yeah,

154
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.840
you're right, there's just enough wiggle
room in the design of Mason Fairbanks that

155
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:39.120
you're gonna get maybe it's a possibility. Yeah, it's great. They they

156
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.200
thought a lot of stuff out this
episode, not just in terms of the

157
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.240
main story, but yeah, and
in terms of other things as well.

158
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.080
Now that. Only one of the
bigger negatives I can have of the episode

159
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.159
is that I kind of felt at
times Homer was very dismissive of Grandpa after

160
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.399
he thought that Mason was his father. You know, he says, Grandpa's

161
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.559
raised him my whole life, and
it says he tries the thing. I

162
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:01.600
know, they had the moment where
he's like, all the things you've done

163
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.559
for me, and he tries to
think of something. You can't think of

164
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.200
anything. It's like, oh,
well, you've done nothing for me.

165
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.840
I'm going to go lunch onto this
guy who's rich he's my real father.

166
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.639
But the thing is, I thought
by the end of it though, the

167
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.039
way he had the flashback and things
like that, Yeah, I'm always a

168
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.000
sucker for those emotional flashbacks. The
one that reminded me of was Lisa an

169
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.279
Ice, where but and Lisa had
the flashbacks to them looking after each other

170
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.519
when they were kids. So why
are we fighting? I thought the flashback

171
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.799
here and it's one of my favorite
moments. I'll spoil it now. I

172
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.120
just thought it was just it was
lovely. It was really sweet, wasn't

173
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:31.559
it. And I think the thing
of it is, with real life,

174
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.120
you don't necessarily you can't necessarily call
up the most important memories of your life

175
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.039
or the most significant ones when it
comes to the ones who who love you,

176
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.399
who you've loved, who raised you, all that kind of stuff.

177
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.000
Yeah, they'll just sort of they'll
come to you unbidden, although will you

178
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.440
know something will trigger them. It's
like, oh, my god, hadn't

179
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.519
thought about that in ten years,
twenty years, thirty years, whatever,

180
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.480
But all of a sudden it comes
back, and it comes back incredibly vividly.

181
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.919
I wholly bought what you're talking about
here. How you know, And

182
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.240
at a moment when you least expect
it, or maybe even when you most

183
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.399
need it, it's going to come
back like, oh oh yeah that happened.

184
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.559
Oh and suddenly your heart, your
heart just expands. Well, they

185
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.840
say that when your life slashing before
your eyes, when you think you're going

186
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.320
to die, that all the key
moments from like the important moments of your

187
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.080
life to somehow just come back to
you. And I thought it was just

188
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.480
very nice that in that moment he
thought of Grandpa. It was just Abe.

189
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.080
Yeah, it was just Abe.
And I mean, well, I

190
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.960
guess it's because he saw that he
was he thought his dad was coming to

191
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:31.600
save me. He's like dad,
Dad, Dad's and Dad was on his

192
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.559
mind when he when he passed out
there. But also I think the episode

193
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.879
did a really good job of finally
giving Grandpa the character so much needed respect

194
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.039
that the character has been lacking for
a good couple of seasons now. He's

195
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.720
just been a real pathetic, unwanted, unloved old man. That's big.

196
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.159
That's sort of big. That's sort
of who he's become. I know that

197
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.000
was the gag throughout the entire round
of the show, but it's become more

198
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.440
harsh in recent years, I thought. And they did a good job last

199
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.639
week with the Simpson's Christmas stories with
Abe, with his war story with Burns,

200
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.240
this one in particular, this one
being a cannon one. I thought

201
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.600
they did a good job of finally
given him some respect again. Yeah you

202
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.759
have to. You know, remember
that this was a young guy, so

203
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.320
this was a man. Oh it
still is, but you know what I

204
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.960
mean, They've lived a whole life
and it's not always going to be I'm

205
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.919
shooting by the bins. I can
talk to people or something like that,

206
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.039
and there's going to be more stories
and a little respect should be given,

207
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.679
but of course, you know,
you can balance that with the ridiculousness that

208
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.720
Abe sometimes shows. Hey, my
favorite all right, what were your favorite

209
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.720
moments from the episode, mister Davis. There are a lot, actually,

210
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.080
and they were sort of started all
the way through just you know, no,

211
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.759
it had a really solid story,
but they were but, as is

212
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.840
the case with a lot of my
favorite Sens episodes, just little bits thrown

213
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.759
in here and there that don't necessarily
add another brick to the to the overall

214
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.879
structure. But you know, just
I don't know, I don't knowice a

215
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.759
bit of decoration. I really got
to kick it out of when Marge is

216
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.919
approaching the toll booth for the first
time, because you know, she's normally

217
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.759
taken the old Cheat Cheek skate trail, which is not normally It's just that

218
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.279
she normally takes that road that doesn't
have the toll. Yes, that's correct,

219
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.240
Sorry, my mistake. That's good
advice to people. Always take the

220
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.200
old Chief skate trail. That's where
that's one guy does UM. But you're

221
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.200
approaching the toll booth and I don't
know if it was a direct shout out

222
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.039
to Um, to Psycho, to
the original Psycho, the Alfred Hitchcock movie,

223
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.639
but there's a whole do do do. It reminded me very much of

224
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.679
a scene in Psycho where Janet Lee
is she stole a bunch of money and

225
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.360
she's driving and she's sort of like
worried about everything. I think she gets

226
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.840
pulled over by a cop. But
it's got the same sort of visual schematic

227
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.440
and the same definitely the same sort
of music. I mean, going over

228
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.840
the tire, Yeah, she's going
over them what do they call the spy?

229
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.919
Yeah. I thought it was really
good directing by It might be Anderson

230
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.360
and that one. Yeah, there
really was. Yeah, the music as

231
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.399
well. You're right, it does
feel like a Hitchcock ass scene. Yeah.

232
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.559
Yeah, they're sort of ramping up
the tensions. Oh, I thought

233
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.360
that was great. Um, the
whole you know, inciting incidents go.

234
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.559
You know, we talk a lot
about incarting into the first five to ten

235
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.519
minutes of the episode where it's like
all this sets the story in motion for

236
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.159
you know, all this to happen. I mean, this felt. I

237
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.279
think there have been occasions will be
like this is a bit convoluted to get

238
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.559
to, you know, to the
meat of the story. But yeah,

239
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.320
Okay, there's a toll booth.
Okay, there's tire spies been set up.

240
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.080
Okay, Marge refuses to pay,
actually backs up. Everybody blows a

241
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.519
tire. The tire fire just gets
bigger than ever ever has before. It

242
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.480
melts the ice on spring on Mount
Springfield, and he's a frozen postman and

243
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.679
here's a letter. So that was
a lot of work, but it didn't

244
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.360
feel like a lot of one and
didn't it didn't feel like a waste of

245
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.559
time either, did it. No, No, I mean that that whole

246
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.399
Yeah, first, a few minutes
I have over the minutes of the episode

247
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.639
just would have zipped by pretty nicely. And yeah, by the end,

248
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.080
it was like he's a frozen postman
with a bag of letters from the sixties,

249
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.679
Like okay, cool, yeah,
lett let's get it on. And

250
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.480
that's a the story that they started
with though, like because a native had

251
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.759
been recently unfrozen and from like a
long, long, long long time ago,

252
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.000
and they found the body in ice
in Sino Man and they're like,

253
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.600
all right, so this would be
a cool story. Male man gets discovered

254
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:15.600
he's got letters for the people of
spring for the one. That's a fun

255
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.039
concept, how to be getting really
right. Yeah, I just thought the

256
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.879
way they got to it, it
actually kind of ties into the story.

257
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.480
If you want to pull out some
straws, is that it emphasizes that the

258
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.960
Simpsons don't really have that much money, which is by March doesn't want to

259
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.279
pay the seventy five cents, and
then they meet and then all of a

260
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:31.200
sudden, Home has got a rich
father. I don't know, if you

261
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.639
want to find it try and work
it all together, but I just think

262
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:35.799
it was just a fun way to
get to the main story. Anyway,

263
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:41.000
speaking of new rich relative or something, I really dug about this episode.

264
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.720
One of my favorite moments was there
when they're on the boat. On Mason's

265
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.200
boat was called the sun I never
handled, Yes, son, I never

266
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.360
knew I hid or something. Yeah. Yeah, and yes, everyone is

267
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.159
basically wearing sailor hats. I've got
to give a shout out to the Lovely

268
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.759
Luis. Not long ago, we
were watching a documentary. This may sound

269
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.039
like a very tenuous link, but
stay with me, folks, say,

270
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:11.919
Lovely Louis and I were watching a
documentary on yacht rock, that wonderful genre

271
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.519
of music. We'll kind of take
it with the story of Captain and Tnil,

272
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.799
the seventies duo who sang love will
keep Us Together. You mentioned this

273
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.320
because we did that episode of The
Simpsons where they sing the song at the

274
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.679
end. Margin Homer, you've mentioned
that, Yeah, that's and we both

275
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.840
enjoyed the episode so much, and
particularly Captain Sneil that when Lou went away

276
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.960
on a girl's weekend to a seaside
town, she came back with a lovely

277
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.919
gift for me, which was this, Oh, no ship sailor's hate,

278
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:47.120
I'm wearing us. I'm not.
I'm putting it on awkwardly end only only

279
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:51.320
listening to this episode. Yes,
I've got a captain's captain's hat on.

280
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:52.480
I will be chuck. I will
be chucking a photo of that up on

281
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.679
the social media for those of you
that art subscribe to some pageant to see

282
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.399
this. I'll take a proper picture
and send it to Dan. But you're

283
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:02.480
can all see what I look like
in my cool hat. He needs your

284
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:07.720
glasses too, Love can keep us
together. But honestly, terribly sad story

285
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.279
about the Captain to Neil, because
you know they saying love will keep us

286
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.039
together, and yeah, everyone thought, wow, these two are sort of

287
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:17.880
made for each other. I'm not
I'm trying to phrase this the right way,

288
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.400
but I think the captain might have
been kind of emotionally constipated. He

289
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.799
couldn't really I mean they were married
captains Neil, but the captain couldn't really

290
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.400
sort of. He wasn't a very
expressive person. He wasn't very demonstrative when

291
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.400
it came to affection or anything like
that. Tanil was like, I love

292
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.400
you so much, and he's like, yeah, I love you, I

293
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:42.640
know pretty much. So and watching
this dark One was like, oh,

294
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.160
it's really sad Tanil obviously, just
you know, I really wanted to give

295
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.960
a heart to this guy. And
he was like, yeah, okay,

296
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.160
great. Yeah. There's there's some
like musical duos where like even though they

297
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:52.400
not in a relationship, like for
example, like outon John definitely not in

298
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.960
a relationship with KII, but it's
like, don't go break in my heart,

299
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.680
Like these guys are made for each
other or John devoted living in John

300
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.480
at the end of Greece. It's
like, how are these guys not going

301
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.759
to be married forever? Obviously they're
best friends for well, yeah, I

302
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:10.039
mean Trolta was clearly sad when the
Olivia passed away. Yeah, yeah,

303
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.279
but enough about that. More about
favorite things. I've got more if you

304
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.839
don't need to keep talking to but
wait, but wait, there's more.

305
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:21.759
I think one of my favorite visual
gags was when home is having that fantasy

306
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:23.559
about though this dad, you know, I don't know who my real dad

307
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.559
is, has this childhood flashback where
he's throwing them the baseball with the questions

308
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:34.119
the window and an exclamation come back. That's pretty neat. That's clever.

309
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.200
That was. That was Mike Rees
apparently pitched that one. Yeah, that's

310
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:42.640
a really plus. Again the Simpsons
guys showing their deepockets. It's like,

311
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.680
hey, let's, uh, you
know, get the rights to Cindy Lauper's

312
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.079
Time after time not going cheap,
I imagine, and use it for maybe

313
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.599
five seconds and ring a fire.
That's true. Yeah. I also got

314
00:18:53.599 --> 00:19:00.279
some Johnny Cash in there. Oh
my god, look too. Dialogue shout

315
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.160
outs. One that is clearly Michael
York. I just loved his whoa yeah,

316
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.559
taken off of Homers. Yep,
that's fantastic. But then I'm guessing

317
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:15.359
it's Dan c doing Michael York Homer
please do that in the loop. That

318
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.759
is my favorite moment, omma,
please do that in the loop. It's

319
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.279
like, what was he doing?
What was he doing? Firstly and where

320
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:30.720
was he doing? It? All
just funny. The mental image you get

321
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.400
is funny. Um, the voice
that Dan is doing is very, very

322
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:40.079
funny. But then you just think
about the Amazon fairback says like just a

323
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:41.720
mench so it sounds like a good
dude, like, don't shoot at my

324
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:48.839
floor, please please please do that
in the loop. Yeah, so what

325
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.720
a lord? Yeah, so much
good stuff in this episode. Yeah,

326
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.440
I really like Oportunity Coup. But
enough about my favorite moments. What were

327
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.720
yours, Dando, Well, you've
pitched a couple of mine, and I've

328
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.559
already mentioned the flashback. Of the
flashback was lovely, But the other one

329
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.200
that I really enjoyed was I infer
from all your knicknacks that you're some kind

330
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:11.480
of fruitcake. Sometimes you go to
someone's house and it's like there's a bunch

331
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:17.400
of crazy crap on the walls.
I do like it when Home was like

332
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.640
that as well. I mean,
you know, I don't judging, you

333
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:23.920
know, Yeah, I think we've
gotten so used to and being kind of

334
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.200
a dumb ass. Yeah, just
an idiot. That when he does a

335
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:32.079
moment that's kind of our BUNDI is
like this, you know where he's got.

336
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:34.240
He's clearly got a little bit of
comments or I mean, or maybe

337
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.400
it's just thoughtless nose. I don't
know, but it sounds like, Okay,

338
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.279
you got this really nice house and
a lot of stuff on the wall.

339
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:41.480
You're not really better than me.
I think you might be kind of

340
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:47.119
a weirdo. So I feel your
gut some kind of a fruitcake that was.

341
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.119
Yeah, that's great, that's a
great luck. But yeah, we

342
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.519
won't go into too much. I
have more, but I feel it's gonna

343
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.240
go through the whole episode of keeps
out favorite moment. This whole episode is

344
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.799
like favorite moment. It's not lovely
to have a season seventeen episode, but

345
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:06.839
we're just so happy about any more
brain busters. It's the blockbuster brainbuster for

346
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.519
Homer's paternity coot. The air date
was January eighth, two thousand and six.

347
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.000
Now mister Davids's got the similar one
still in the in the top three,

348
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.279
so number one is still the Chronicles
of Narnia line, of which in

349
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.440
the wardrobe. Number two is King
Kong. But I am going to get

350
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.799
you try and guests number three,
number three, the clue is penis.

351
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:32.039
M hang on you you might be
talking about a slang term for a penis

352
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:37.319
though, right, so it's not
it's not Willy Wonka, and it's not

353
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.759
and it's not prick up. It's
not prick up your ears, which came

354
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:48.319
out like twenty years earlier. He's
another clue masturbating. Well. I mean,

355
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.200
there are certain things you can do
with your dick, and one of

356
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.039
them one of them is have fun. And you know, if you're a

357
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:00.400
fan of maybe you say Jane Fonder, you can usually be thinking about Jane

358
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.920
Fonder while you're having fun with your
dick' I think it might be fun with

359
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:10.200
Dick and Jane starring Jim Carrey and
m one of guys Hall Pass ladies,

360
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.680
Taylione. She was one of those
women who I never knew her name when

361
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.680
I was a kid, but I
had the biggest crush on her as an

362
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.319
actress. I was like, this
woman is gorgeous. It is one of

363
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:26.880
the abiding mysteries of the late nineties
through to whenever. It's like, why

364
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.039
did Taylor It become a biggest star? Yeah, I still remember when I

365
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:33.759
was a kid and the movie it
was The Family Man, I think,

366
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.599
starring Nicholas Cage. There's a scene
where he walks in her in the shower

367
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.400
and I was just like, she
is incredible. Yeah, she's singing along

368
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.480
to something. She's just playing a
house mum and it's just like, oh

369
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.400
my god. She say sexy.
Oh yeah, I know was creepy,

370
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:52.200
but I was just she was like, besides Drew Barrenmore, she was my

371
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.440
crush when I was a kid.
I thought she was just amazing. Yes,

372
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.400
we're a team Tayer here at four
Finger Discount. We have very pro

373
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.039
Taleoni. I remember that movie being
a lot of fun. Actually when I

374
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:04.279
went to the movies. I've not
seen it since I first watched it the

375
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.559
movies. Might have been on a
date with one of my girlfriends at the

376
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.079
time, but I just remember thinking
this, maybe it's fun. I mean,

377
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:11.640
I like, yeah, I like
Jim Carrey. Yeah, well this

378
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:18.039
is a yeah, but perfectly fun. I don't know if you call it

379
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.920
even an action comedy, more a
comedy, but remake of a seventies movie.

380
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:26.640
But Dick and Jane, you know, sort of upper middle class types

381
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.240
who have been hit hard by the
by inflation by the rising cost of living,

382
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:36.759
can't afford their swanky laughstyle anymore,
and decide to I think rob banks,

383
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.160
or at least rob their their dodgy
former employers that like getting you know,

384
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.640
multinationals or whatever. So taking a
stand against it's the one percent taking

385
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.160
a stand against the point zero zero
one percent to get some of their money.

386
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:53.680
Um yeah, perfectly, perfectly good
fun. And of course it's got

387
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.119
some Talione in it. So oh
yeah, by the way, I actually

388
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.720
big mistake here. I've just realized
that it was uber three last week.

389
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.240
I'm looking at the last week because
there wasn't an episode of The Simpsons last

390
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.279
week, right, so that was
actually number four for this week and number

391
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:08.359
one. So Chronicles Nue is two, King Kong's number three. Number one's

392
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.319
actually a newbie so much just trying
to give a clue. Think of So

393
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:18.440
the scene that I remember the most
from this involves and Achilles heel. Oh,

394
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:25.400
well, yeah, I do know
this because there are three things.

395
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.680
Three parts of the body where I
cannot hack trauma, one of his fingernails.

396
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.640
There's a third which is probably related
to what we were just talking about,

397
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:41.839
fun with you know what. But
yeah, Achilles tendon is Oh yeah,

398
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:47.119
I mean we all remember evil little
Gauge from pet Semetry going buck wild

399
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.640
with a scalpel on that old dude's
achilles tendon. But in a more recent

400
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.119
version of it, it happened in
Eli Roth's Hostel. Yeah, horrifying,

401
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:03.720
horrifying, Narlieass movie. I've been
just torch upon. Essentially, it's it's

402
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.440
kind of what kickstarted the whole.
I think this is the movie that a

403
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:12.559
critic coined the phrase torch upon to
describe now as. Yeah, it's it's

404
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:17.440
very nasty, but at the same
time it is pretty well made nasty.

405
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.279
I mean, if you'd like horror
movies and you like particularly graphic horror movies,

406
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.720
this is kind of a good example
of it. I mean, because

407
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:29.240
it's somewhat believable that this could actually
happen. It's it's a it's a fantastic

408
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:34.799
setup essentially that dopey American tourists go
to Europe thing. It's America number one.

409
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.279
We're going to run wild in Europe
and you know these guys, you

410
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:41.160
know, they take drugs and have
sex with the druver have, but we're

411
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.839
going to do it American style and
there is. Yeah, guess what we're

412
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:52.960
going to rope you into, um
a dreadful situation whereby tourists can turn you

413
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:57.160
into human pinatas or pincushions or you
know, just have dreadful, dreadful fund

414
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:02.599
with your exposed Achilles tendon. Ye, not great, not great, but

415
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:07.240
that was number one box office when
this episode. Add Our American friends know

416
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.160
what they like. They just like
torture porn. Yes, torture porn or

417
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:15.799
fun with Dick, both go hand
in hand. Next question, you're there

418
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.880
eating the beast. All right,
mister Davis, it is time for some

419
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.559
trivia for homos Paternity Cooper. Before
we do that, we of course need

420
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.759
to read out some names of those
who support us here at the four Finger

421
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:29.119
Discount Network. Then we're gonna start, of course with our man Alliott J.

422
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:30.720

He's going to be coming on the

423
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.559

We love them noe with mister Davis, We do indeed, Welcome to the

459
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.759
clan, and thank you for the
de Niro exactly right, all right,

460
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.839
Hit me with your first question for
Homer's paternity court. What have we got?

461
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:45.160
The grandfather clock from the firesale shop
goes for How much are two dollars?

462
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:49.200
Always get out? There're I loved
that opening, by the way.

463
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:56.240
That was pretty. Boxes and boxes
of you figure it out action, figure

464
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:02.839
a poddle what we think was a
microway. My first question for you is

465
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:06.920
who will Marge be married to in
twenty eleven? This is a couch gag

466
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:12.000
question. Oh um, that went
really quickly. It was Lenny or no

467
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.279
Lenny, and then he wasn't twenty
eleven. It was Lenny, then Lenny,

468
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.039
then it was Jimbo. Jimbo what
one? Yeah, that's right.

469
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:26.039
My next question to you, you
can smell the Springfield tie fire in how

470
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:33.799
many states? Forty six four six? Correct? What is Homer's fake radio

471
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.920
station. But he's on what one? He is a nine eighty FM.

472
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:41.519
His viewers are very happy about that
nine eighty on the AM dial. I

473
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.400
said AM, didn't it? He
said FM just then? But maybe it

474
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.599
was just the zoom fucking up.
I meant AM nine eighty AM. Yes,

475
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.000
yes, And his viewers are very
happy about that. Exactly right,

476
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.720
all right? And my final quote, actually, your next question, I'll

477
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.920
give you one. Yes, how
do you do that? What is may

478
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:04.160
Yon's hat size? Six? Six
more than average? And my final question

479
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:07.200
is William H. Macy, who
had a really good appearance here. Actually

480
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.880
a little story about William H.
Macy. We'll get to it when it's

481
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:12.119
at one time of the episode.
But so he's going to be working with

482
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.119
who? Well, he does say, he says, do you know Nev

483
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:19.119
Campbell? So I'm assuming he's gonna
be doing something with Nev Campbell. Yeah,

484
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.079
we can talk about that when we
get to that. But he was

485
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.519
actually in a movie with Nev Campbell. What movie was that? It was

486
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.839
a low budget but really really really
good movie, a little low budget one

487
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.880
that I tend to champion a lot
called Panic. It actually came out in

488
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.359
two thousand. Okay, so it
was before this episode, all right,

489
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.880
Yeah, but you know, he
may well have done something else with her,

490
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.480
and he was actually talking up independent
films in that scene as well.

491
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.799
He did yeah, what I liked, let's do it now, rather than

492
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:51.039
yeah, let's do it what I
liked that. He was really good casting

493
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:52.960
to be what was it called the
Bullies Circle or Bullies second bait. Don't

494
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.160
know how yeah, the Bullies Show
or the Bullies Circle whatever, But do

495
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:57.920
you want to hear how it all
came to be? So apparently five years

496
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:02.200
prior at the Golden Globes, they
really wanted to Williams Masy to be on

497
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.400
the shows. Like four different members
across of the Simpsons staff across the night

498
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.200
went up to him and say,
hey, you should really be on the

499
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:08.279
Simpsons, and he apparently by the
last one he was like, yes,

500
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:11.319
I know, I heard you the
first time. Just contact my agent,

501
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:12.559
will make it happen. And then
they didn't do it for like five years,

502
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.240
and then he came on the show
and he was just willing to say

503
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.599
whatever, And I just thought it
was just perfect riding and casting. But

504
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:21.079
yeah, that's how it all came
about. So yeah, continue, I

505
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.559
just think it's really good casting because, yeah, Wis Macy, I was

506
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:29.799
a nominated actor, a quote unquote
star. Yeah, everyone knows everyone knows

507
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.319
him. Yeah. Yeah. He
also kind of looks like a dork.

508
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.319
Yeah, I mean I think is
it Boogie Nights where he's a cuck always

509
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.880
wife's yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
he's very he's very cucked. He's super

510
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.680
cucked. Yeah. He kind of
looked like the guy who would get bullied.

511
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:52.200
Yea. But also, even though
he's reportedly kind of buff and also

512
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.759
a guy who you just like,
you feel like if you're fucked with him,

513
00:31:55.839 --> 00:32:00.160
he could probably fuck you up in
ways he don't expect. He has

514
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:05.400
one of my greatest lines of tough
guy dialogue and it's and it's great because

515
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:07.599
he don't expect to come from William
Ates Macy. He was. He worked

516
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:12.160
with David Mammitt, a loot,
one of my favorite creators, the great

517
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:15.240
playwright, filmmaker, all that kind
of stuff. And he's in a movie

518
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:21.599
called Homicide with our our man,
Joe Montenna, and you know, they're

519
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:25.599
cop partners, and someone says something
to insult Joe Montanna, and you know,

520
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:30.440
Macy sort of stands up for him, and this guy says, you

521
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:32.319
want to step outside, and may
you want to fucking step outside for a

522
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:39.599
killer ass right here. So it's
like he doesn't he doesn't look like the

523
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:42.680
kind of guy who'd fuck you up
like that. But I mean, you

524
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.000
look at him in the eyes.
God shit, he'll fucking do it.

525
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:55.359
I he's probably really tough. You
look at some of black professional fighters,

526
00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.519
they're not like huge, huge guys. It's all about the technique, absolutely,

527
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:01.519
yeah. I mean that's the thing. I think if you're sort of

528
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:07.759
bumped into, like Conor McGregor at
a bar or something, you're trying to

529
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.799
funk with your little leprechorn, the
next thing you know, yeah, you're

530
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:21.000
dead. Tony Saparo, Yeah,
stop, all right. I think that's

531
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.400

541
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:07.519
visional air date of Homer's Paternity Coot
was January eighth, two thousand and six.

542
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:09.559
Written by Joel H. Cohen,
directed by our man Mike B Anderson,

543
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:13.639
chalkboard gag and I want to discussed
the intro in the chalkboll gagie.

544
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:15.519
So I thought the chopboard gag was
one that I was surprised has never been

545
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:20.239
used before. And I thought it
just felt like a very early season Simpsons

546
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:22.760
chalk gag. It's just simply,
I am not smarter than the president.

547
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:27.599
But that's just it just felt like
a very early nineties bart. You know,

548
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:29.920
I will not waste chalk that kind
of thing. You know, I

549
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:31.039
am not smart than the president.
Yeah, it felt quite simple. I

550
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:35.199
thought, it's a surprise it took
him seventeen seasons to get that one out.

551
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.280
There. But also the Cotch gag
was one we discussed earlier with the

552
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:39.400
photographs, and it says the year
at the top, and it goes through

553
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:43.360
all the different years up to twenty
and thirteen March. She's married to to

554
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:46.440
Lenny and then she becomes kyl and
then she becomes married to Jimbo and then

555
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:51.880
she thinks she's married to a robot
Homer or something like that. But yeah,

556
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:53.079
and also in the intro, the
thing I wanted to bring up was

557
00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:57.400
that they did a really weird edit
that I can't record. They've done before,

558
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:00.480
so we're so used to it now, where they just the Simpsons and

559
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.920
it cuts the straight into the driveway
but home is about to be run over

560
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:07.800
with someone kind of plays not the
full length of the of the intro,

561
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.639
but it goes from where it would
normally cut to Bart riding his skateboard in

562
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.800
front of all those people and then
Marge. It just completely edits out the

563
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:20.719
Bart part and just cuts straight to
Lisa and then straight to I think it

564
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:22.079
cuts out Homer, then it cuts
out Bart and goes straight to Marge driving

565
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:23.719
with Maggie, and it was just
a really weird at it. I was

566
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.840
like Oh, you've included like an
extra five seconds of the intro that you

567
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.800
normally wouldn't. For what reason,
I don't know. It just felt weird.

568
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:35.360
If anyone that Simpsons HQ has a
reason for this, you know,

569
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:42.800
justify your actions. They were sent
back the gift of nerd. By the

570
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:46.039
way, the T shirt I am
wearing does say genius at work. But

571
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:50.880
the episode kicks off with I think
it's just Marge and Lisa actually just watching

572
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:54.000
the ad for the smoke damage outlet
store and you know, boxes and boxes

573
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:58.559
if you figure it out, and
smoking Joe Fraziers well who playing himself,

574
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:02.440
He was actually smoking Joe. That's
what I'm in another great they who only

575
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:05.760
got me here because my name has
smoking in it. No, that's not

576
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:10.079
true, smokeing Joe. I can
send people to your house, bad people,

577
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:14.440
bad people. I wish I had
that power, just you know,

578
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:16.840
with a note, push a few
buttons, I can send someone to someone's

579
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:21.239
house to fuck you up. I
think we all like to threaten that at

580
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:22.119
some point. I think we've all
at one point there lives gone. You

581
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.880
know, I've got powers who can
fuck you up? It's like, how

582
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:27.679
bet you just do it? Yourself. It's like I can't, but I've

583
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:31.559
got powers. Who can. I
think the idea of having a connection of

584
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:36.880
some kind, I think it would
be nice because I've never had this at

585
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:42.400
all, never will, but to
have someone say about you behind your back,

586
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:44.920
oh, you know, just to
have a guy's not the guy to

587
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:49.800
fuck with? Yeah, a John
Wick moment. Yes, you get this

588
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.639
car out of here. You're fuck
with guy. Jesus Christ. What an

589
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:58.199
idiot? And I don't never happen
because no one ever fuck with you.

590
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:01.320
Well, that's true. It's like
I'm just unlockable that no one's going to

591
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:07.440
do it anyway. Yes, oh
my god. Everything we own is in

592
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.039
that house. How often have you
driven by a fire and thought how can

593
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:14.119
this benefit me? Well, think
no more and drive on down to the

594
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:17.760
smoke damage outlet store. Where there's
smoke, there's bargains. We've got fire

595
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:22.800
damage furniture, smoke damage smoke detector's
action figure, puddle, something we think

596
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:25.239
was an air conditioner, and boxes
and boxes of you figure it out.

597
00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.920
Come in today and meet smoking Joe
Frazier. I'm only yeah because my name

598
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:35.559
has smoke, and oh, come
on, that has nothing to do with

599
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:40.000
its smoking, Joe, I can
send people to your house. Bad people

600
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.239
come in. We're going to that
store before the next commercial makes me do

601
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:50.880
something else, buy the suit off
my back only nine five stop dropping?

602
00:37:51.159 --> 00:38:00.159
See And then she's driving nam and
I noticed that it's a toll fee as

603
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:01.800
a toll sign. What the hell
is she never noticed this before? And

604
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:05.719
she's a good nurdicer. Indeed,
Sorry, can we just worry one for

605
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.440
one second? Because I love the
spokesman for the or the sprooker for the

606
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:14.840
for the shops that stop dropping,
say, he's really just trying to put

607
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:19.599
himself out more and more death.
But that was great, And there are

608
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.559
some gags, and this just went
on. They felt like they could have

609
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:23.840
gone on a little bit long,
but actually the timing on them was just

610
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:27.679
right, or the timing on them
was actually kind of exquisite. I thought

611
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:30.199
that was one. This one was
like on the verge of being too long.

612
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:31.079
That's just like, oh, nope, you ended it good. Yeah

613
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:35.079
you did a j It was like, oh, you almost at stage,

614
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:37.559
you're welcome, but you didn't ye
later on with the fan and all that

615
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:39.400
kind of like, oh, you've
got some very deliberate pacing here that he'll

616
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:42.639
be like, I don't know about
this, but it was like, no,

617
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:45.880
actually that works, nice work,
Mike b Anderson. And she says,

618
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:50.639
what's next to Spatula attacks? And
then she finds the old cheapskate trail

619
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:52.719
so she goes down there and Lenny
and Carl follow her as well. Why

620
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:55.199
a Lenny and Car not like each
other now, Like it's like their friends,

621
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:59.000
but Car doesn't want to be his
friends. I hope they get rid

622
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:00.679
of this vibe soon because I'm not
a fan of it. Yeah, it's

623
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:07.239
starting to get a little Oh they're
codependent or you know, Lenny so needy?

624
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:09.360
Yeah, yeah, Cars, Like
it was almost like Car doesn't want

625
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:12.360
him around anymore. I'm like,
no, no, no, letting Carl

626
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:15.039
the best buds. That is true. I mean, it's nice to have

627
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:20.440
the odd gag like that, but
you need to sprinkle it in every once

628
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.599
in a while. It's like,
oh, I hope everything's okay with letting

629
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:23.199
a Carl, But yeah, if
you do it all the time, it's

630
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:25.119
like, well, why are they
even still laying it out? Yeah?

631
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:30.880
Exactly. But then they quimby notices
here like no one's using the toll booth,

632
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:35.559
sees the guy a sleepwriding playbooth.
I thought it was very funny.

633
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:37.920
And he says they need the money
to d python the town fountain, so

634
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.719
he tells Wickham to go go sort
of out. I got it. No,

635
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.239
that turned like those two words mean
shit's about to go down. Oh

636
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.239
yeah, if someone said to you
go do this, no survivors. But

637
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:54.679
I don't think I'm the man for
the job. I just don't think I

638
00:39:54.679 --> 00:40:01.000
could take a wife. I'm I'm
kind of pro survival. Yeah, yeah,

639
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:04.239
I'm saving ants out of the sync. I don't think I'm the man

640
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:06.719
for the job. Yeah, I'm
the man who's, you know, coming

641
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:13.800
up with elaborate traps for spiders and
setting them back into the antside vice.

642
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.239
He's going into the fireplace and it's
the next day he Marge's realized that she's

643
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:20.079
been boxed in. This is how
it feels driving to Melbourne at the moment

644
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:22.599
from Geelong. You know, you've
got all the roadworks and it's just big

645
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:24.599
cement walls just all over the place. It's like, oh man, I'm

646
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:28.280
going to drive straight. But he
pays so much attention to it's like it

647
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:30.280
feels like you veered slightly to the
right, he's gonna scrash the side of

648
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:34.679
your carl on this concrete slab.
I hope you felt suitably confident in the

649
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.480
passenger seat yesterday. Yeah. Well, we didn't go that way. Better

650
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:39.280
gone the other way. It would
have been scared. You know, we

651
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:42.840
had big trucks next to us at
some stage, and you know, I

652
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:45.800
was blearing John Carpenter, you know
tunes. There was one point you had

653
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.119
your phone up in the air at
this trying to read Google Maps and dry

654
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:50.920
at the same time, and you're
viewing into the left land. I'm like,

655
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:59.159
you know badly we keep going this
way? Absolutely not? But yeah,

656
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.519
so basically Marge's boxed in and she
got the tire spikes. And I

657
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:06.280
would hate this. I hate it
when you've you've gone somewhere and then you've

658
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:07.320
realized you've gone a little bit too
far and you can't go back. It's

659
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.519
like, ah fuck. They do
it with the boozebusters. Obviously I never

660
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:13.760
drink and drive, but it's like
they're going to a corner and it's like

661
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:15.880
imagine being a drunk going around.
They're like there's nobody go oh no,

662
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:21.239
what am I gonna do? Exactly? They should be doing obviously, So

663
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:23.559
this is you know, Reverend love
Joy and Helen loved Joy realized they're boxing

664
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:27.639
as well, but don't wrote this
one's on Jesus. Jesus toy. I've

665
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:29.920
never had a little toy like that
in my car, at the little bubble

666
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:32.239
head things when I feel like it's
been a major distraction for me something.

667
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:37.440
I never had it in my car, but when I was growing up and

668
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:38.800
when I you know, in my
teens or something. I know, yeah,

669
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:43.079
I've seen on the show before.
I'm not a big believer in the

670
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:49.440
Man upstairs or is one Begotten song. But I've found in our house a

671
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:54.199
little green glow in the dark Jesus
statue, not very tall, probably you

672
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:59.599
know about I know, four or
five inches tall. And I had this

673
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:01.920
sort of sickly green glow in the
dark thing. And I mean I was

674
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:05.400
too old for a nightlight. I
was not scared of the dark or anything

675
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:09.000
like that, but I still like, this looks kind of cool to have

676
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:13.679
in the dark next to my bed. So I had it there for I

677
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:15.480
think it in the car. No, no, no, I I wasn't

678
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:17.159
in the car. I've never had
it in the car, but it was

679
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.000
next to my bed for like four
or five years. Wow, and how

680
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:24.320
are you? That was probably like
thirteen or fourteen. I was there.

681
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:28.599
It was there till I was about
seventeen or so. And not because like

682
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.480
you see me Jesus from the Dirk
or anything like that. It was more

683
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:35.320
like, at least it was cool. I like a little green glow in

684
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:38.079
the in the night. Yeah,
aboue. For me, my nightlight was

685
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:43.199
listening to Simpson's audio commentaries and just
old reruns of Simpsons episodes. Just the

686
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:45.840
television was my nightlight. I just
went I was one of those kids that

687
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:47.960
went to bed with the TV on
every night. Well likewise likewise, and

688
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.280
were you when you got a TV
in your room for the first time.

689
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:53.920
I'm at that moment now we're with
Ali. I'm like, how old do

690
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:55.920
I have to wait until it's a
TV? You know? Oh? No,

691
00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:59.719
I was in my I was in
double figures. I was like six,

692
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:05.920
right, memories of playing NHL ninety
four in my bedroom, So that

693
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:07.599
would have come out like ninety ninety
five. I would have been six or

694
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:10.320
seven. Yeah, yeah, I
would have been maybe twelve or thirteen.

695
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.719
And you know, I found like
this there was an old black and white

696
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:20.199
TV that was either we found somewhere
or whatever, like, oh, I'm

697
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:22.519
getting this. And you know,
I didn't have like an aerial thing in

698
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:25.960
the room or anything like that,
so I'd had the really showing how old

699
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.519
I am. I had a little
bunny air antennas like the Simpsons. Yeah.

700
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:36.320
Yeah, and even to the point
where I was putting aluminium on the

701
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:38.840
very tips. It's like, oh, this will help me pick up cattle

702
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:43.480
nine no whatever. That was the
modern day booster, it really was.

703
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:46.320
But yeah, I was having to
do a lot of you know, fine

704
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:51.400
tune. He was like static,
Oh I've got Channel seven. Oh,

705
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:54.719
time to watch you know the eighteen. What was that reviewer that used to

706
00:43:54.760 --> 00:44:01.599
like when you were younger, the
Aussie movie guy Ivan Hutchinson. What what

707
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.320
was he on Channel seven? He
was seven? He was a seven guy.

708
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.519
Yeah, I don't think Channel nine
had a movie guy. Channel ten

709
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:09.760
had a guy named Bill Collins,
and he's sort of like, yes,

710
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:14.880
he was well known. Yeah,
he was a very kind of welcome to

711
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:20.880
the old and yeah he was a
big old dorg but smart and also just

712
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.480
you know for film neards of my
of my vintage. He was like well,

713
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:27.360
tonight we're watching a couple of old
classics. I'm like, some of

714
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.559
these looks shit, but oh,
actually Bill's talking this one up. Maybe

715
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.039
I'll give it a well And I
know I've got so many good titles from

716
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:37.679
watching that. But Ivan Hutchinson was
on seven slightly more sophisticated, a bit

717
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:42.760
more bit more urbane. I was
like, my Bill guy or an Ivan

718
00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:45.480
guy. I'm an Ivan guy.
Yeah, I told you I think I

719
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:46.760
write. I'd wrote him a letter. Did you know I was a kid?

720
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:52.079
Yeah? Yeah, because I was
like Avon Hutchinson, just show the

721
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:54.400
impass Jake's back and here's my review. It was really good. But hey,

722
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:59.199
don't don't let anyone to you this
Burley. He's like, why are

723
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:01.239
you talking about that? I'm like
home at the end of this episode,

724
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:05.920
Daddy, I knew you that was
one of my favorite games. You're eighteen

725
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:12.079
when you wrote this letter. But
he wrote back, he said, thank

726
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:14.960
you for your review. That sounds
like a great movie. I can't wait

727
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:20.639
to see it. He'd already seen
it. Like what a good guy.

728
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:23.119
So yeah, shout out to Ivan
Hutchinson. If you want to get on

729
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:25.960
YouTube, you're type in his name. You might be able to find some

730
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:29.159
of his um some of the stuff
he did for Tea there. Well,

731
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:30.920
our patrons would be well aware of
his intro theme music because we music for

732
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:35.559
the movie Guy podcast. Correct.
Yeah, yeah, I thought that was

733
00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:43.039
one little little callback to guys our
vintage, very vintage. But getting back

734
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:45.760
to my mobileo mobile, getting back
to the episodes, Yeah, somehow I

735
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:51.800
got from Reverend using Jesus money to
that. Don't know we got that,

736
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.000
Yeah that's right, Yeah, little
little glowing Jesus night like equals TV blah

737
00:45:55.000 --> 00:46:00.400
blah blah, but I did like
revn loved Joyce Jesus like, I'm very

738
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:05.000
disappointed you're taking my money to pay
this toll. I'll be cool for once.

739
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:07.960
And then we get the really good
moment that we're discussing earlier with Marge

740
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.119
driving over the spikes. Yeah yeah, it's just really, really, really

741
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:16.440
well directed, and you know today
seventy five cents in five years eighty electoral

742
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:22.760
outcomepending. And then they get she
says not going to pay it, so

743
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.280
she reverses and she pops everyone's ties. I'm like, we never actually see

744
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:30.760
Marge get reprimanded for this. Surely
she has to cop the fine right absolute

745
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:37.320
mayhem. And the thing too is
Spifford only has one road to get out

746
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.320
to places like why is everyone driving
down this road? Now that's a really

747
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:44.760
good point. Maybe they really want
to go to the outlet fire. True,

748
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:47.159
it's it's it's one. I choose
not to explore too much because you

749
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:52.760
pull it that thread everything unravels.
Yes, but yes, so she pops

750
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:55.159
everyone's tires and we get Ring of
Fire before then, though, can't be

751
00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:59.079
a season seventeen episod without some side
show. Now we'll get at mister Davis.

752
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:02.079
Unfortunately, no, but the prophecy
is fulfilled, as he points out,

753
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:05.800
and then Agnes. I think Agnes
gets two moments in this episode,

754
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:08.239
doesn't she Yeah, she does a
good one a bit later on. What

755
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:12.519
does she say here? Say you
have four of anything? But I thought

756
00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:15.400
the next one, the next one
was really good luck later in the episode

757
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:17.039
with the radio, but this is
where they played Ring of Fire and they

758
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:21.320
change all the tires. Has had
the tires on the tire fire and all

759
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:24.599
the extra smoke causes the ice to
melt, and we discover a mailman from

760
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:30.639
the sixties, Ken Brockman. Here
a top mount Springfield, where the melting

761
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.719
ice cap has revealed a discovery so
gruesome, we'll give you a moment to

762
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:36.320
get the children out of the room. That's long enough. Here it is

763
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:42.280
a frozen mailman, somehow buried in
ice several decades ago. For further analysis,

764
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.280
here's the one scientist who is always
home when we call Professor John Frank.

765
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:52.079
Based on the ice core samples and
the size of the mailman's bell bottoms

766
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:55.679
left measure that there, we had
determined he was frozen. Sometime in the

767
00:47:55.920 --> 00:48:01.920
nineteen sixties swinging for Alex For me, I was making Nay Farm to drop

768
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:07.719
on to nine. The post officers
promised to deliver every letter in this forty

769
00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:12.440
year old mail bag. Sorry,
I'm just you've just can I throw in

770
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:19.360
another anecdote? Sorry, just reminded
of my sub editing days at the paper

771
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.159
down here in sunny Geelong, The
Gelong Advertiser. I believe listeners to the

772
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:24.920
show you're all clean living types,
you don't exactly know what a nang is,

773
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:29.599
or maybe our international listeners a going
what's a nang? It's like I

774
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:34.480
didn't know what a name is.
Oh, it's a little tube of compressed

775
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:38.440
something like nitrous or something. But
you know, yeah, sucking you get

776
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:43.880
high. Yeah, but it's called
a nang apparently that's a street name for

777
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:49.559
it. And it's a bit like
it's a bit like cheapass vaping. And

778
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:52.679
of course there were you know,
in Geelong we have a place called Market

779
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:55.920
Square or the Market Square Mall that
is supposedly the you know, the center

780
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.719
town. The foreign that's whether you
link me to get together really knows.

781
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:07.000
It was once it's a crack,
then it's where you don't go m And

782
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:12.360
as befitting a place like that,
there were little nang canisters left all over

783
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:15.639
the place. Some people done when
people were done getting high. And of

784
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.880
course city hall decided to go up
against this and you know, maybe take

785
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:22.719
action against it. And the headliner
wrote for it was called Battle of de

786
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.119
Nang. That's actually pretty good.
It was good. I don't think we

787
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.280
use it. At the end.
I'm like, oh, man, come

788
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:31.559
on, that's gold, Come on, man, be cool. For once.

789
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:36.119
It's like getting on the phone to
Rippert Murdoch. Come on man.

790
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:39.760
But yeah, again, of the
various towns, people are getting some of

791
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:44.400
their letters. So Largo would have
got to Juilliard and he shattered about that,

792
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:45.840
and we get mo he finds out
he's not alleged to Poland. So

793
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:49.559
he goes and plays with some kids
in the park and some skipping. Then

794
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:52.679
this here does. That's the one
gag that goes a little too long.

795
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.679
It does, yeah, because it
doesn't really go anywhere, just slightly.

796
00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:58.480
Yeah. I thought. I thought, if he's gonna trip up all something

797
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:00.719
and then blame the kids for it. But no, it's just him dancings

798
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:05.400
like yeah, but he says the
rhyme. It's just like that's six words

799
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:07.599
too long. Yeah, definitely.
This next bit here didn't quite make sense

800
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:12.760
to me either. So Mason sent
a letter to Mona, but he sent

801
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:15.760
it to the Simpsons address. Why
would he send it to seven four two

802
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:19.440
Evergreen Terraces in the sixties? Valid
point again, don't pull it too many

803
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.199
threads. I'm assuming that someone was
diligent in the post off and said,

804
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:27.280
well Mona, not anymore. But
okay, the next of next of Kim,

805
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:30.559
he's going to be at this address. Drops it off. Yeah,

806
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:36.320
they know it's for Simpsons anyway anyway. But that's why is guy's delivering the

807
00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:37.920
mail. I love that, Yeah, ye is Yeah, ran away from

808
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:44.199
all this. Yeah, yeah,
what a fool, My dearest Mona.

809
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:47.719
You've just left my arms to return
to your husband Abe, and already I

810
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:52.039
ache for you. Mona cheated on
me. I don't know how she found

811
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:58.760
the chime with her late night pottery
classes and supermarket trips that took all weekend.

812
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:02.320
Lisa, I'm sure that letter is
age appropriate reading. What can the

813
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:08.719
government edit our mail like other countries. Oh? I know I'm just a

814
00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:13.400
lifeguard, but I want you to
run away with me. If you don't

815
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:16.159
reply to this letter, I'll know
that you've chosen to stay with Abe.

816
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:21.440
But I know in my heart that
the baby you're carrying is mine. Oh

817
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:28.119
love always am. That's ridiculous that
with my baby in her belly, look

818
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:36.519
go happy we were what whoa?
God reminds me of that mame in the

819
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:38.639
main where it's like, oh yeah, look back at another girl and the

820
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:44.920
guy's like, oh, there's a
home. Did I ever show you the

821
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:49.840
Homer version of that? Yes,
yeah, there's any one, which of

822
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:53.079
course I loved. Yes. Then
Homer says that you know, Grandpa raising

823
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:57.719
he doesn't care what anyone says.
Single handled racing. But then he can't

824
00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:00.920
think of any nice things he actually
did for him. So Lifeguard, huh.

825
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:05.039
We come back from commercial and Hommer
trying to think of M. M.

826
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:12.639
Moleman, M Night Sharman, and
I think what came out and around

827
00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:16.360
two thousand and five that would have
caught M. Knight Shamlan so from so

828
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:21.639
much flak. I think was it
was it the sequel to Unbreakable? No,

829
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.280
no, oh god, that was
ten or fifteen years later. This

830
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:28.800
might have been either The Village or
Lady in the Water. I thought it

831
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:31.000
was. I thought it was three
in there was there was glass, not

832
00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:35.920
glass, it was the other one. There's unbreakable glass and split split.

833
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:37.800
Of course it was later, yes, okay, yeah, yeah, but

834
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:40.199
they're all a bit later on.
But yeah, because he did six Cents,

835
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:43.760
Unbreakable and Signs and they were all
huge, huge hits, and it

836
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:45.639
was like, oh my god,
this guy's unstoppable. But then it feels

837
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:47.320
like if you do a twist at
the end of every movie, it's just

838
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:51.159
like everyone's just sitting there waiting for
the twist then you know. Yeah,

839
00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:53.760
and the Village, which I think
was around this time. I never saw

840
00:52:53.800 --> 00:53:00.480
the waters, never saw it.
Yeah, it's getting reappraised of it is

841
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:05.440
years later because twenty years have gone
by and now everything, everything crap is

842
00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:08.920
gold again. Yeah, but actually
it is really good. So but I

843
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:13.159
get the feeling that was probably like, I don't know if this guy is

844
00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:15.119
really as good as we thirt he
was. No. The thing is about

845
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:20.480
signs is that to me, it
was always one of those early early days

846
00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:22.679
of the Internet memes where it's like
the footage of the alien walking past,

847
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:30.000
get the shit out of everybody.
I'm like, god, damn, So

848
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:34.519
I love science. It's one of
my it's about to say one of my

849
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:37.880
favorite movies, but it's definitely one's
best. Would have been so good.

850
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:42.440
I never would have pitched you for
for one of his to beat one of

851
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:45.320
his fans. I would have thought
you would have thought his twists were silly.

852
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.400
No, No, I mean,
you know, twists, if they're

853
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:52.000
done badly suck. If they've done
well, they rule, because they they

854
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.880
say Mickey had of him in the
audio comment chair of this episode, like

855
00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:59.679
because because Michael York's like, did
he ever file suit for you? Making

856
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:00.119
fun of him here? And he's
like they're like, oh well, we

857
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:07.199
can't a suit it. By watching
his movies. Ow, yeah, I

858
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.480
remember that the big one was always
the sixth Sense. There wasn't it,

859
00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:14.119
and besides was a big deal.
I remember when it came out. Yeah,

860
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:15.440
I think, yeah, I think
Signs wasn't even bigger hit than sixth

861
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:23.719
Cents. It was when we all
still liked Mel Gibson. Who But anyway,

862
00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:27.280
well we up to oh yes,
So basically you're trying to think of

863
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:29.480
names. Yeah, shame on,
and Grandpa says, no, no,

864
00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:30.719
no, you're my son, looking
mush up your face and looks exactly the

865
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:34.079
same, and it does, but
also does the same thing with the dogs.

866
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:37.599
But then Lisa suggests they do a
DNA test and Grandpa says, there's

867
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:39.960
no need. You know, I
am his father. I did all the

868
00:54:40.039 --> 00:54:43.960
raison. I wake for my apology
by the old man bench at them all

869
00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:46.400
where it sits by the trash gan
and I was like, there's probably people

870
00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:50.159
that just do this, and which
it's really sad, but you can imagine

871
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.159
that there's people that just sit by
a pipe bench. No one's gonna be

872
00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:55.039
people walking by, so they can
hopefully start up A conversation used to happen

873
00:54:55.079 --> 00:54:59.800
when I worked in the dally at
Cole's. You just get those old customers.

874
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:00.960
It's like, you know, they've
got no one to go home too,

875
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:02.679
So if they want to chat for
a couple of minutes, I'm just

876
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:06.719
gonna chat for comments. You give
you that desperate for your slice chicken,

877
00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:08.039
You'll just have to wait for it
because this old guy needs someone to talk

878
00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:09.960
to you, and I'm going to
give them two minutes of my time.

879
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:15.400
I've forgotten exactly where they do it, but I'm I'm guessing there's one of

880
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:20.840
those progressive Scandinavian nations. Yeah,
apparently they have like a special aisle in

881
00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:25.920
the supermarket whereby it's like, really, this is this is older people who

882
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:29.519
maybe don't have as many people in
their lives. You won't have a chat.

883
00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:31.840
Be aware that this aisle is going
to be slow because you know this

884
00:55:32.280 --> 00:55:37.000
the person behind the behind the canter
is going to take their time scan very

885
00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:39.280
slowly. So are you doing today? You get some male little worst.

886
00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:42.400
Okay, that's not bad for you. You might want to go easy on

887
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:45.840
that though, with your heart and
all that kind of shit. I thought

888
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:49.119
that's a lovely idea. That's a
lovely idea. I mean, Australia has

889
00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:53.199
the something different but not dissimilar in
terms of love. I'll have hours when

890
00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:55.760
you know, the lights will be
a little lower and the music will be

891
00:55:55.800 --> 00:55:59.360
a little softer for people who are
saying you're a their virgent and it's a

892
00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:02.880
little different be in a very hectic
environment. Like well, it's funny because

893
00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:06.880
I saw a video recently. They're
talking about supermarket and it's like it's like

894
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:09.280
walking to a billboard. Now it's
like so bright and the music's playing and

895
00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:13.559
it's just colors and flushes and sales, and it's just like whoa, it's

896
00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:15.159
like walking into an advertisement. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah.

897
00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:20.559
They apparently have either an hour a
day or a certain time a week when

898
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:22.440
it's like we're gonna chill out a
little bit, guys. So you know,

899
00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:28.239
if you're if you're feeling overstimulated by
your normal supermarket environment coming during these

900
00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:30.239
hours, yeah, like good on
you, good good for thinking. But

901
00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:34.320
anyway, Homer, can't you can't
sleep as much as you got tummy egg

902
00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:36.880
fro those pork chops, No,
the onny tummy eggs in my head.

903
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:40.079
And we get the visual of the
discussing the question mark throwing the baseball,

904
00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:44.199
and then the little question mark throws
the ball it's a home or at the

905
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:47.039
question mark, it's home. Homer
throws the ball through the window and exclamation

906
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:50.639
might comes out checking his fist.
I was like, that's just so genius,

907
00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:53.800
that's clever, that's clever. And
now at home is at the library,

908
00:56:53.880 --> 00:56:58.559
and it's this is such like a
cheat way to get to it.

909
00:56:58.679 --> 00:57:00.880
But I'm like, whatever, I'm
buying it. He goes to the library

910
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:04.320
and finds a book for twentieth century
life guards and spriefield. It feels very

911
00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:07.639
Simpsons, then, yeah, that
just feels like a classic kind of Simpsons

912
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:09.760
gag. Just absurd. But do
you want us to spend two minutes coming

913
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:12.920
out of a realistic, good idea
or just move the fucking story a lot.

914
00:57:14.679 --> 00:57:16.719
He comes up with the only am
is Mason Fairbanks, and he's what

915
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:20.079
are these three things that he likes
to do? Mister Davis. I love

916
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:23.199
this. I love this so much. He's always a philandering writing letters and

917
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:30.920
make it up for last time.
Very good, very well written, this

918
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:36.920
episode, very well written. Yeah, it's I was about as Joel H.

919
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:39.480
Cohen. Yeah, yeah, I
think he's got his name on a

920
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:43.400
few good ones. Doesn't he yeah
so far. Yes, Yeah, I'm

921
00:57:43.519 --> 00:57:46.519
big thumbs up with Joel H.
Cohen. And is he the brother of

922
00:57:46.719 --> 00:57:51.079
David X. Cohen. Let's have
a look. I'm assuming he probably is.

923
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:53.039
I should already know this. I
know Simpsons fans. I apologize.

924
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:59.599
He's not Joel Cohen as in the
Cohen Brothers who made you know um No

925
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:02.000
Country, Old Man and Fargo and
all that stuff. He is different Joel

926
00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:07.840
Cohen. Yes, he is the
younger brother of one time Simpsons write a

927
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:13.000
Robert Cohen, who penned the season
three episode Flaming Mose and He. In

928
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:15.639
addition to his work on The Simpsons, he's also the author of the nonfiction

929
00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:19.400
book How to Lose a Marathon,
a retelling of his training for and running

930
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:22.679
the New York Marathon. It was
released in twenty seventeen, as well as

931
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:25.440
an audiobook on Audible. But he
has written. He wrote Trius of Horror

932
00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:29.800
ten twelve, Sorry, he wrote
The Hecks in the City, Brawl on

933
00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:31.840
the Family, Fatten, The Fairiest
Today, I Am a Clown, Fat

934
00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:36.400
Man, and little Boy, and
Home's written slot episodes up to this point,

935
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:40.079
some of which some not some of
your favorites, but this one Definitely

936
00:58:40.119 --> 00:58:43.320
he's on the right track. He
wrote. He wrote last of the Red

937
00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:45.760
hat Mumms as well a couple of
weeks ago. Nice work, Joel.

938
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:47.159
So, now were at Mason's house
and home as approached and he's like,

939
00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:51.559
just to stay cool and stick to
your cover story until we find out whether

940
00:58:51.599 --> 00:58:53.400
it's cool or not. He says
he's a reporter at the local paper and

941
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:55.840
he wants to do a story on
people who wear sweaters. I believe that

942
00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:00.800
as he sat his color story and
you know, he's written, Daddy smelled

943
00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:07.599
good too soon to hug So I
infer from all the knickknacks. You're some

944
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:13.119
sort of fruitcake. No, actually, I salvage valuables from sunken ships.

945
00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:17.960
Some call me a treasure hunter.
Oh, it is so cool. Shrunken

946
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:23.079
heads. Those are raisins. So
you don't have any shrunken heads. What

947
00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:25.719
a job. Let's just never happen
to work. Just being a treasure hunter

948
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:30.760
your whole life, it'd be awesome. I'm trying to years ago for work.

949
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:37.000
I was very fortunately I went to
Africa. You have mentioned this story.

950
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:43.639
You're to Africa. Yeah, and
we we're adding Kenya on the Massimara

951
00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:49.400
and this couple showing us around Derek
and I believe Beverly Joubet, who were

952
00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:52.280
sort of like they were basically adventurers, and he hit a business card that

953
00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:58.000
basically said adventurer. I'm like,
motherfucker, yeah, what a life.

954
00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:01.599
I don't think, I actually said
to his face. Every day is literally

955
01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:07.599
an adventure for this man. Yeah, but you may imagine someone mature sort

956
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:12.719
of had public accountant, which is
a valid job, and you know,

957
01:00:12.840 --> 01:00:15.440
one that keeps bread on the table
and keeps the lights. That's great,

958
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:17.360
but at the same time, imagine
you're in a cocked up But he's like,

959
01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:21.320
here's my card, CPA. He
hands back on the adventure. It's

960
01:00:21.320 --> 01:00:23.280
like, UK, you win.
It's like someone says, what do you

961
01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:25.519
do for a living? I'm like, I'm a podcast? Like no,

962
01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:29.280
no, no, really, though, what do you do? Well?

963
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:34.760
Then you said I'm an adventure and
you pull out this guy's cart. But

964
01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:37.679
you know, Homeer thinks the other
raisins are shrunken heads, and he's like,

965
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:40.320
oh, I do have a SI
six head. Homer screamed a small

966
01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:45.199
right, small than average screams and
runs away. Then we got the boat.

967
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:47.519
He's shown in the boat and you
know this is the girl of my

968
01:00:47.559 --> 01:00:50.960
life or whatever. You know,
it's a boat, right, and it

969
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:52.199
says on the side of the Sun. I never knew that's the name of

970
01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:54.679
the boat. And let's let's talk
about this. Where'd that name come from.

971
01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:59.000
Let's let's let's get more into in
touch with that. And he says

972
01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:00.480
that you know, um. But
basically this behome gets caught out in the

973
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:02.320
lie because you know, he told
me about how he was a reporter,

974
01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:06.960
then here was a radio DJ and
he's a TV host or whatever, and

975
01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:09.519
it's just, oh, you're you're
possibly my daddy and then m and they

976
01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:13.320
give Hi a big kiss and he
gives him back his gum. Now the

977
01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:15.800
family all watching The Bully Corner.
It's called the Bully Corner. Bully Corner.

978
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:22.000
That's right with William H. Macy, which obviously they badged him.

979
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:22.599
They said, we want to get
you on the show. They're big fans

980
01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:27.159
of William H. Macy. They
didn't really come up with a whole episode

981
01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:29.440
for him, but like, let's
just get him on. This had nothing

982
01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:30.840
to do with the story, but
it was just they used to do this.

983
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:34.199
They've done this the entire run of
the Simpsons just get a guest done

984
01:01:34.239 --> 01:01:36.880
for a random little bit, doesn't
ever stay. It's welcome and it fits

985
01:01:36.920 --> 01:01:39.000
doesn't like he said, it fits
the character of Justly May as a person.

986
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:44.239
Yeah, yeah, and shows a
weird h macy was a good sport

987
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:45.760
as well. So yeah, I'll
come on and get beaten up by the

988
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:50.159
rest and bullies who are probably just
teenagers or whatever. Yeah, yeah,

989
01:01:51.079 --> 01:01:53.920
teenage kids. I mean. Homer
is now very excited. He gets he

990
01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:55.599
gets home and says, oh my
god, I met Mason. Is going

991
01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:59.639
great brother. He's got a knife
and it's just for cheese and home.

992
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:01.639
Marge says to him, don't get
too excited, Hommer, don't get too

993
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:05.400
emotionally invested. You've just met him. And he's like, okay, won't.

994
01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:07.519
But we're going Daddy's boat tomorrow.
And then they're walking around. I

995
01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:09.559
love it when they get different outfits, like you said, they're all and

996
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:13.119
they're like sailor's outfits and things like
that, and barays, well, Grandma

997
01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:15.519
bet on the wrong horse here,
and he says, we don't worry.

998
01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:17.280
The most valuable treasures in here points
to his chest, not in his heart.

999
01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:21.480
It's in this map. The treasure
map for the for the famed Emeralds

1000
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:27.000
of piezo'mhardo. Apparently, I think
Piezomhardo means like wet ground or something in

1001
01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:30.000
a language. Oh really, yeah, wet wet floor, maybe wet floor.

1002
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:34.119
Then he tells a story of how
the Emeralds got lost because they were

1003
01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:38.119
nestled in the bosom of a Spanish
galleon, and basically, one guy there's

1004
01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:40.679
a big thunderstorm. Of these pirates
on this ship, there would big thunderstorm,

1005
01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:44.480
and they're all praying for their lives. One guy wasn't praying because he's

1006
01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:46.400
thinking of a joke he wanted to
say, and thus lightning strikes the boat,

1007
01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:49.679
causes the boat to sink, and
the Emeralds fought to the bottom of

1008
01:02:49.679 --> 01:02:53.519
the ocean. Before that, though, there's just a really marge line there

1009
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:55.760
where he brings up emeralds. She's
like, if I was born three months

1010
01:02:55.880 --> 01:03:00.599
later, my birdstone would have been
emerald. It's like that means nothing,

1011
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:02.559
but it's exactly what Marge would think. Yeah, yeah, what did you

1012
01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:06.639
say, Like, well, life's
funny like that? Yeah, what is

1013
01:03:06.639 --> 01:03:12.360
the line? Did write? Feet
has a strange sense of human Then Homer

1014
01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:15.719
invites Mason to dinner at their places, like I once dined with the Prince

1015
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:20.320
of Wales and killer whales, if
only the latter knew how to chew without

1016
01:03:20.400 --> 01:03:24.239
humming, and like they thought,
apparently that was just like killer Apparently they're

1017
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:27.679
just laughing for so long. By
the way, a lot of tire changing

1018
01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:30.519
this episode. Here's the next.
There's another tire change in the in the

1019
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:34.039
middle of that, when they're when
they're still laughing, you know, they

1020
01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:37.039
go from Mason's place back to the
Yeah, and they're laughing in these various

1021
01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:40.519
um situations, and one of them
is homes pulled over to change the time.

1022
01:03:40.679 --> 01:03:44.199
Oh did you ever notice that?
Yeah? Okay, and yeah said.

1023
01:03:44.199 --> 01:03:45.519
They laugh all the way home and
grandpa's there and he's annoyed. He

1024
01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:49.880
thinks that first you stole my wife, and now you're still in my family.

1025
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:52.480
And then I wouldn't have to And
Mason gets some sassin here, I

1026
01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:55.480
wouldn't have to if you've given them
what they needed. I'm like burn.

1027
01:03:58.599 --> 01:04:02.360
But the way that York played the
role though, it's like he's saying these

1028
01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:05.599
harsh lines, but not to the
point where you dislike the character. No,

1029
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:09.639
you know, I mean it's just
sort of one something as well.

1030
01:04:09.760 --> 01:04:15.400
He's been you know, sort of
cheated out of cheated out of a son,

1031
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:18.760
out of his expanding that bloodline exactly. And Marche says, look,

1032
01:04:19.079 --> 01:04:21.679
you know, look at she's look
at Grandpa. You make him feel really,

1033
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:25.280
really sad. And he says,
I'll take the test. I'll take

1034
01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:28.480
any kind of tests, and he
starts listening are listing various tests. I

1035
01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:31.880
did enjoy, Lisa saying enough,
Grandpa, no, never, this kid's

1036
01:04:31.960 --> 01:04:35.800
listing various tests though. It was
quite funny. And then he but does

1037
01:04:35.880 --> 01:04:40.920
the test, and we've got one
jas says suave news stranger. Another one

1038
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:43.960
says, same old grandpa, and
he's got a T shirt for Homer just

1039
01:04:44.039 --> 01:04:45.519
in case for whatever the results are. One side says number one son.

1040
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:48.800
The other says, well, it's
biggest bastard. Then they're about to get

1041
01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:51.440
the results and Mason says to Grandpa, I hope we could be civil.

1042
01:04:51.960 --> 01:04:56.119
I'll put in your fist. Well, at least I can meet bad.

1043
01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:00.800
He's going up with some singers.
Yeah, Mason, but not in like

1044
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:03.800
a really derogatory way. It's just
pointing out the others. Yeah, And

1045
01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:08.760
it's revealed that Mason, apparently at
this point in time, is the father.

1046
01:05:10.679 --> 01:05:14.719
I have the results. Oh God, whatever happens, abe, I

1047
01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:17.599
hope we can be civil. Poop
in your fist. At least I can

1048
01:05:17.679 --> 01:05:29.119
make both. Oh Omer's biological father
is Mason Fairbanks? Who's Mason Fairbanks?

1049
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:33.559
This guy family in now visiting Grandpa. This was so depressing but so funny

1050
01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:36.320
at the same time, because you
just feel like, if this was a

1051
01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:40.320
real situation, this is how actually
transpired, this is probably how it would

1052
01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:43.920
go down. Oh yeah, I
mean it's like you're just going to pretend

1053
01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:45.079
that they don't exists anymore. It's
it's like then when you visit them,

1054
01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:48.400
it's like, oh yeah, but
we don't. We're not really related anymore.

1055
01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:53.960
It's like it's weird, like like
we still love you, but we're

1056
01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:58.960
not biologically required to well, as
I say, no biological obligation. Yeah,

1057
01:05:59.360 --> 01:06:01.719
yeah, it's and then you said
it three times. Do do you

1058
01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:05.239
think of something else to say?
It's just that's just it's really sad.

1059
01:06:05.320 --> 01:06:09.679
But you were, as you were
discussing earlier, the directing, just that

1060
01:06:09.800 --> 01:06:14.039
the pauses between each line there was
really well done. Just enough, wasn't

1061
01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:16.840
it. Yeah, very very good
timing on the part of the director Mike

1062
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:20.719
b. Anderson might be directing,
is what you might say. Yeah,

1063
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:26.920
and Mason and Homer are now going
on a treasure hunt in their Titanic as

1064
01:06:27.000 --> 01:06:30.480
ships that James Cameron designed. Yeah, that's something I was going to look

1065
01:06:30.559 --> 01:06:33.480
up and maybe I'll do it now. You keep talking. But I think

1066
01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:39.719
Cameron had like some documentary called Ghosts
of the Abyss or something that came out

1067
01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:42.760
post Titanic rous like I'm going to
go to the bottom of the sea and

1068
01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:45.960
conguer that because I get everything above
what they discussed that in the commentary,

1069
01:06:46.119 --> 01:06:49.360
like these are the designs are based
on those that are designed by the James

1070
01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:53.920
Cameron and they're like, oh okay. And the boss moment about that whole

1071
01:06:53.960 --> 01:06:56.920
thing is that James Cameron wasn't like
I've built these things, go find it

1072
01:06:57.000 --> 01:07:01.880
for me. It's like I'm doing
it. Oh fuck yeah. Honestly,

1073
01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:06.320
I mean, I think I wrote
something about Cameron a while ago and said,

1074
01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:14.159
I am basically terrified of James Cameron
the way I'm terrible. I fear

1075
01:07:14.239 --> 01:07:16.199
and loathe James Cameron the way I
fear and loath anyone who has this much

1076
01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:21.119
confidence and capability, because it's like
I think anyone who's working with him says,

1077
01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:25.320
you know, he's demanding, but
that's because he can do your job

1078
01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:29.880
even better than you can. And
it's like you're a hate guys like that.

1079
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:30.719
But at the same time, I
would, of course I would follow

1080
01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:33.719
them into battle. Yeah, it's
probably like everyone who's ever been on a

1081
01:07:33.760 --> 01:07:39.079
team with Michael Jordan pretty much it's
like, we know we're just like that

1082
01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:41.480
that we're no, we're just on
his shoulders. But I want to be

1083
01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:43.360
on his shoulders. I want to
be on this ride with him. So

1084
01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:45.599
just fucking do what he says.
How many times Michael Jordan just said,

1085
01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:48.280
just give me the fucking ball.
It's like, yeah, yeah, but

1086
01:07:48.280 --> 01:07:51.280
I'm a complainant. I don't fucking
care how good you are, just giving

1087
01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:56.960
me the ball. But I mean, I remember growing up and I'm col

1088
01:07:57.199 --> 01:08:00.639
People know their names Jacques Cousteau,
but I mean it was like, well,

1089
01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:04.719
he was the go to guy for
underwater explorations, and so it would

1090
01:08:04.719 --> 01:08:06.960
be a shorthand like, oh,
I think a bit of a Jack Cousto,

1091
01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:11.280
do you or as now it's like, you know, you think of

1092
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:13.599
undersea stuff. When you think of
James Cameron's like, oh yeah, and

1093
01:08:13.599 --> 01:08:16.319
he also makes like every time he
makes a movie, it becomes automatically the

1094
01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:19.479
top grossing movie of all time.
Yeah, like, what the fuck?

1095
01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:29.479
Stop being good at shit? Um, I don't think Sorry, very sweary

1096
01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:31.720
this episode. I don't mean to
be. They find the treasure and Homo

1097
01:08:31.720 --> 01:08:34.439
immediately called Lenny and Carl and their
ham Radio. This is where we get

1098
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:38.319
the skinner act this moment. I
particularly like that, how do you make

1099
01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:43.880
the same time loses. I thought
they're going to get a Steamed Hams reference

1100
01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:46.840
in here, because he goes I'm
communicating with my fellow Hams, and I

1101
01:08:46.880 --> 01:08:49.119
thought they're gonna I'm like, oh, there's gonna be a Steamed Hams reference.

1102
01:08:49.159 --> 01:08:51.159
And there's like, ah, I
guess how would you kind of work

1103
01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:55.760
it in? Who knows steamed Hams
even? I mean, it was it

1104
01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:58.680
was the meme thing. It probably
wasn't a twenty two thousand and six You're

1105
01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:01.640
right, Yeah, it wasn't it
at all. It feels yeah like steamed

1106
01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:08.479
ham has only become a thing in
the past maybe five or six years.

1107
01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:11.560
Maybe maybe a little more, Yeah, maybe a bit more but I'm going

1108
01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:15.600
to be honest, like twenty two
Short Films about Springfield is probably still my

1109
01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:19.479
favorite Simpsons episode just before. It's
pure absurdity and novelty. But I'm not

1110
01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:24.079
huge on the steamed Hams bit.
That may sound silly, but like I

1111
01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:28.840
find it funny, but it's like, I don't understand the level of love

1112
01:09:28.920 --> 01:09:31.079
that scene gets. I think it's
just that Simpsons fans seemed to have clung

1113
01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:34.760
onto a scene and gone, this
is our this is our moment, and

1114
01:09:34.840 --> 01:09:39.640
this is the one we're going to
overanalyze. And this is because for some

1115
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:42.680
reason it seems to be the one
everyone references now to the point where it

1116
01:09:42.720 --> 01:09:45.760
became not funny. Maybe it's just
because it was so over used in the

1117
01:09:45.840 --> 01:09:47.640
mean groups. I just got sick
of it. I don't know. I

1118
01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:50.159
think that, look, this is
me putting an old man hat on.

1119
01:09:50.279 --> 01:09:57.239
Hang on sec old man hate.
You know, there's a certain millennial slash

1120
01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:00.159
gem Z type of humor that's,
you know, really steers into the absurd.

1121
01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:03.600
And you see all the all the
stuff they've done with steam Hams,

1122
01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:06.600
all the reboots and remixes. I
mean, I think my favorite of all

1123
01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:13.520
time is the one where it's um, what's the gorilla song? Is it

1124
01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:19.079
Clinicswood? I think that's clinicwood steam
hands, I mean, and it's auto

1125
01:10:19.159 --> 01:10:23.960
tuned with all the all the dialogue
turning into the lyrics. Apparently it's the

1126
01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:27.199
funniest thing in the world. And
I find it really funny. But at

1127
01:10:27.199 --> 01:10:29.680
the same time it's like, yeah, but this is also operating on a

1128
01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:31.199
frequency that I don't quite get.
I find it funny, but at the

1129
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:39.039
same time, it's not. It'll
happen to you, that's true. It's

1130
01:10:39.079 --> 01:10:44.079
when you you know, you look
at say, here's an example, oh

1131
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:50.760
man shakes fish to cloud um lose
kids? Uh? Watching the TV series

1132
01:10:50.920 --> 01:10:56.079
the TV comedy TV game show Taskmaster. Do you know that one? No,

1133
01:10:56.279 --> 01:10:59.439
there's a UK version and now there's
in the strain one. And you

1134
01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:04.439
know the Taskmaster who's hosting in Australia's
Tom Gleeson. I'm not huge. No,

1135
01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:09.640
he sucks, sorry guys, but
he's no good. No, he

1136
01:11:09.680 --> 01:11:13.199
sucks the whole bit where he's like
doing the awkward questions. I'm like,

1137
01:11:13.359 --> 01:11:17.960
I don't find it funny anyway,
but Luke kids are hooked on it.

1138
01:11:19.079 --> 01:11:24.199
They've got a whole bunch of episodes
on the one. Yeah, recorded and

1139
01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:27.239
just watching episode after episode. Lou
and I were, you know, sort

1140
01:11:27.239 --> 01:11:29.800
of in the background, can't you
hurry this up so we could watch Nadi

1141
01:11:29.880 --> 01:11:34.600
de Fiance some real television and they
were like, we're watching this hilarious look

1142
01:11:34.600 --> 01:11:40.319
at that and they're laughing and we're
like not getting it at all. Yeah.

1143
01:11:41.720 --> 01:11:44.159
When I realized that I was so
out of touch with the music scene,

1144
01:11:44.199 --> 01:11:46.359
I was like, yeah, I'm
getting old. I just when I've

1145
01:11:46.600 --> 01:11:49.000
put the radio on, I'm like, it all sounds the same to me.

1146
01:11:49.199 --> 01:11:54.119
I don't get white people like this. I'm clearly old. You had

1147
01:11:54.439 --> 01:11:57.119
you had the stand Marsh moment.
Yeah, yeah, I just didn't the

1148
01:11:57.199 --> 01:12:00.399
stand Marsh landslide moment. Yeah,
not at all. But but anyway,

1149
01:12:00.399 --> 01:12:01.319
so Home is at the bottom of
the ocean. They find the treasure and

1150
01:12:01.399 --> 01:12:03.800
calls up I'm lending and Kyl.
Then he gets lost, and I was

1151
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:08.680
just like this, the idea of
being lost, whether it be out in

1152
01:12:08.760 --> 01:12:12.199
the ocean or the water or squash
scuba diving or whatever, it's just probably

1153
01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:15.760
the most terrifying thought I could possibly
have being I have a few of water,

1154
01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:18.640
so being lost anywhere involving water.
Oh my god, I think being

1155
01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:23.800
scuba diving and then not knowing where
I am. It just it'd be horrific.

1156
01:12:23.920 --> 01:12:26.600
I just I just couldn't do it. It reminds me of that film

1157
01:12:26.640 --> 01:12:30.039
Open Water, you know. Oh
yeah, but holly fuck. Can you

1158
01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:33.239
imagine that being left behind whilst it
gets to the surface and they're gone,

1159
01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:36.960
oh mate, holy shit, no
way, no thank you. Like just

1160
01:12:38.560 --> 01:12:43.199
yeah, being being lost or stuck
somewhere involving water not not my cap telly

1161
01:12:43.239 --> 01:12:45.359
at all. You know, you're
damn right. It says it's not what

1162
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:48.000
you want. It sounds terrible.
Yeah, but yeah, but home,

1163
01:12:48.079 --> 01:12:51.319
it gets stuck here and I mean, he needs help. What do I

1164
01:12:51.399 --> 01:12:54.159
do? What do I do?
And he gets the claw and scratches the

1165
01:12:54.199 --> 01:12:56.079
front like he's scratching his head,
like what do I do? I thought

1166
01:12:56.079 --> 01:12:58.680
it was good, funny, funny
visual. Then the oxygen here and we

1167
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:02.640
get the urge to kill from the
shinning gag. Ocyen's going down's going down,

1168
01:13:02.680 --> 01:13:09.720
oxygen slightly higher, oxygen gone,
and he starts passing out and he

1169
01:13:09.840 --> 01:13:12.479
said, Daddy, Daddy saved me. And he's sort of fading away,

1170
01:13:12.720 --> 01:13:15.479
and we get the flashback here of
Grandpa saying, get grab daddy's keys.

1171
01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:18.439
He grabs it, starts driving the
car. I like the idea of one

1172
01:13:18.680 --> 01:13:21.199
baby home or not baby, but
Todd the Homer or have got in the

1173
01:13:21.239 --> 01:13:27.359
car, fixes the mirror up before
he reverses out, and Homer and joined

1174
01:13:27.439 --> 01:13:30.600
his picture for you. And he's
a teenager. That's what a what a

1175
01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:31.640
great was that? What's a quarter? A pan out? I guess you

1176
01:13:31.640 --> 01:13:34.520
could say, I guess, so
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1177
01:13:34.680 --> 01:13:39.279
A great A great little gag there, and then Grandpa, this one's it's

1178
01:13:39.319 --> 01:13:41.439
funny, but it's also more than
the emotional side of things. So he

1179
01:13:41.520 --> 01:13:44.880
gives Grappa's giving Homer a march on
their wedding date, every last dollar that

1180
01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:46.119
he has. You know, it's
not but it's all It's all he's got.

1181
01:13:46.159 --> 01:13:47.920
It's not much, but it's all
I've got. And then I think,

1182
01:13:47.960 --> 01:13:50.479
like a hawk or something takes it
away. They're saying the commentary,

1183
01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:54.319
they've got that gag. Obviously it's
been his before, but the gag reminded

1184
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:58.920
me, reminded them sorry of a
recent winner of the Funny Stone videos where

1185
01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:00.760
a kid was given like a hamster, I'll put him on top of his

1186
01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:03.479
cage or something, and hawks comes
down and takes the kid's hamster away.

1187
01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:09.319
No. I was like, oh, but wonderful. Yeah, I don't

1188
01:14:09.319 --> 01:14:11.760
want to watch the video. I
saw a video recently of a of an

1189
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:14.720
hour. I think it may have
been a hawk pinched someone's dog and just

1190
01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:16.399
like flew away with it, like
a little white dog, a little one,

1191
01:14:16.600 --> 01:14:18.880
and they found the dogs. I
was like, okay, I may

1192
01:14:18.920 --> 01:14:21.159
shut the dogs a vibe before I
washed it. But then it's like,

1193
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:24.560
just grabs this dog and they're trying
to reach for it, just flies away.

1194
01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:30.039
They've just seen a bird fly away
with your dog. That given the

1195
01:14:30.399 --> 01:14:32.520
loun now has this little pappy on
puppy that's never going to be that big,

1196
01:14:32.600 --> 01:14:35.000
it's like, oh, yes,
you could be prey of some you

1197
01:14:35.039 --> 01:14:39.159
know, wedge day legal or something
like that. Exactly. Yeah. Oh.

1198
01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:44.880
I found myself watching some pet rescue
video the other day, and I'm

1199
01:14:44.920 --> 01:14:46.760
such an easy mark for those things. I was going to say, if

1200
01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:49.880
you want to get me just anything
involving animals being rescued, you've got me.

1201
01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:53.560
Yeah. It's like, look at
that little baby elephant in the pit.

1202
01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:56.399
Oh, but here all the elephants
come to save it. And this

1203
01:14:56.479 --> 01:15:00.359
one was like a kitten in some
pit or something like that. It was

1204
01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:05.239
like, look, this monkey's come
to rescue the come to rescue the kitten.

1205
01:15:05.479 --> 01:15:11.319
It was like, normally will be
like animal Kingdom working in unison,

1206
01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:15.560
hooray, Hakuna matana, you know, na quenia circular life. Then I

1207
01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:17.159
was like, someone's filming this,
why don't you just fucking reach and get

1208
01:15:17.159 --> 01:15:20.119
the cat. Yeah, that's why
we wait for that monkey. Like,

1209
01:15:20.199 --> 01:15:24.880
I don't mind if someone filming somebody
saving an animal, but when it's just

1210
01:15:24.960 --> 01:15:27.760
like you're filming an animal getting rescued
by other animals, like you probably could

1211
01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:30.560
have done this yourself. Yeah,
because they're filming the cat, they're going,

1212
01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:34.560
oh really, you know kind of
terrified in this muddy pit, could

1213
01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:40.720
drown, Like you could have alleviated
that animal suffering any second. Yes,

1214
01:15:40.920 --> 01:15:43.640
yeah, you just to film it. They fall back on that. I

1215
01:15:43.760 --> 01:15:45.720
it was just you know, it's
just nature. It's like, fuck off,

1216
01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:48.760
should be in your human agent,
human nature to save that thing.

1217
01:15:49.560 --> 01:15:54.079
Correct. It reminds me of people
filming ship one Last little anim day.

1218
01:15:54.079 --> 01:15:55.640
I'll they're a bit off topic of
you guys, but hey, what are

1219
01:15:55.680 --> 01:16:01.479
you gonna do. It's our show. The listened to another shot. There's

1220
01:16:01.479 --> 01:16:05.239
no other Symptons podcast. I'm worry
about it that it was a giant the

1221
01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:10.359
Maleficent Dragon at Disneyland. It's part
of like a stage show they do at

1222
01:16:10.359 --> 01:16:13.399
Disneyland every night or every couple of
nights whatever, And it's like Fantasia,

1223
01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:16.079
like someone dressed up as Mickey from
Fantasia, and that the dragon's supposed to

1224
01:16:16.119 --> 01:16:18.920
breathe fire out and this giant,
fucking huge, one of a kind,

1225
01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:24.439
like ten million dollar animatronic dragon.
Right, we'll caught fire at the show

1226
01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:28.119
like yesterday and I fucking exploded,
like it literally explodes to a ball of

1227
01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:30.680
fire. Right, And everyone's like, holy shit, this person's filming and

1228
01:16:30.760 --> 01:16:32.680
this girl's filming it right, and
the new story's got this girl's footage and

1229
01:16:32.800 --> 01:16:35.800
threat the whole video. She's like, oh my god, this is going

1230
01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:39.520
straight on my Insta. And the
girl her girlfriend's like, you're gonna get

1231
01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:42.479
so many followers, and I'm like, oh my fucking god, that's where

1232
01:16:42.520 --> 01:16:45.399
we are in a society. Oh
my god, this is going straight on

1233
01:16:45.560 --> 01:16:56.720
my Insta. Just run. I'd
love it if they didn't attribute this was

1234
01:16:56.800 --> 01:17:01.159
wilmed by someone somewhere we don't know
where from, but yeah, it's yeah,

1235
01:17:01.319 --> 01:17:04.640
it's actually it looks terrified. It
just goes It's like a fireball and

1236
01:17:04.680 --> 01:17:08.520
all of a sudden just goes boom. It just explodes. And I was

1237
01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:13.000
like, okay, everyone, I'm
doing I'm just picturing, Like though,

1238
01:17:13.239 --> 01:17:16.000
that scene from Fellowship of the Ring. I've watched the lot. That's the

1239
01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:18.239
first one, isn't it. It
is the case, right, I've seen

1240
01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:23.000
that one, you know. Yeah, it's bill Way Beggin's birthday party and

1241
01:17:23.479 --> 01:17:27.000
Gandal was broad his dope. Fireworks. Oh yes, the fireworks. Yeah,

1242
01:17:27.000 --> 01:17:30.520
and Mary and Pippen get the dragon
one. It's like ship up and

1243
01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:32.520
they let it off and everyone's like
it's a dragon. Then it explodes and

1244
01:17:32.520 --> 01:17:40.000
everyone's like I can just imagine that
people going with them livers and dragons,

1245
01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:42.319
like, oh my god, what
a tragedy. Oh it exploded. Yeah.

1246
01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:45.439
The funny thing is it's just like
everyone's like, this is not supposed

1247
01:17:45.439 --> 01:17:46.920
to happen. This is not supposed
to happen. And I'm filming it and

1248
01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:51.079
he's here to guy with the thing
going everyone please leave the area immediately.

1249
01:17:51.199 --> 01:17:54.319
This is not part of the show
and everyone's like, nah, fuck,

1250
01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:58.439
you're it going anywhere? Man,
We're going anywhere, and then boom whenever.

1251
01:17:58.439 --> 01:18:03.359
I's like, okay, let's go. But getting back to the episode

1252
01:18:03.399 --> 01:18:06.199
once again, followed these guys,
so we had ye the flashback of the

1253
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:11.560
hawk and the hawk or whatever bird
taken away the money. Granpausaid, you

1254
01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:13.680
know, I gave you everything and
it still wasn't enough. As what he

1255
01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:15.359
says, and this is where he
wakes to see the shadow of approaching sorry,

1256
01:18:15.359 --> 01:18:17.800
the shadows approaching him as he's sort
of fading out, and he wakes

1257
01:18:17.880 --> 01:18:20.119
up into bed. He's been in
coma for three days. He's in hospital.

1258
01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:23.880
He's been fed through a tube.
What you think of the tube?

1259
01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:26.960
Gag. I was like, yeah, that's fine. This episode has been

1260
01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:30.760
good enough. I'm willing to roll
with this. Yeah. I thought it

1261
01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:32.159
was a neat I mean, they
didn't overplay it. No, they didn't

1262
01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:34.840
know yeah, which I thought was
good. But the fact that it was

1263
01:18:36.000 --> 01:18:40.359
he didn't fed through an intervenenced he's
a turkey. Just chicken comes out.

1264
01:18:40.439 --> 01:18:44.079
I liked it. Wellmer, now
that you're alive again, I'll leave you

1265
01:18:44.199 --> 01:18:47.479
with your real family. Great,
can we have a moment in private.

1266
01:18:47.800 --> 01:18:54.520
Of course, it's early dying on
the ocean floor. I remembered everything you've

1267
01:18:54.560 --> 01:18:58.920
done for me. Hell without stupid
DNA test, and it's ninety nine point

1268
01:18:59.039 --> 01:19:02.439
nine nine nine seven percent accuracy.
You're my dad, and I love you.

1269
01:19:02.960 --> 01:19:08.600
I love you two Homer. Oh, now there's something I've got to

1270
01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:16.640
tell you. I really am your
father. Oh but how after seeing how

1271
01:19:16.720 --> 01:19:21.560
happy you were with Horatio home wrecker, I made a decision. I switched

1272
01:19:21.600 --> 01:19:27.119
the names on the DNA samples.
Then I put my name first on the

1273
01:19:27.199 --> 01:19:31.159
list for a new heart. My
old one's fine, but you never know.

1274
01:19:32.920 --> 01:19:38.119
Only a true father would lead his
son to believe he belonged to someone

1275
01:19:38.359 --> 01:19:44.800
else. Oh, now, why
don't you stay for dinner? It would

1276
01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:54.359
be my pleasure, son. Send
up two hams. This one's cold.

1277
01:19:55.560 --> 01:19:57.800
This was actually going to bring to
something the start. I thought this was

1278
01:19:57.880 --> 01:20:00.119
the best part of the whole episode
in the sense that what they did here

1279
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:03.279
it was have Homer say that he
wants Grandpa to be his real dad before

1280
01:20:03.399 --> 01:20:08.520
he finds out. So this is
the This is like one of the nicest

1281
01:20:08.560 --> 01:20:12.279
moments we've had from Homer and I
reckon seasons where he says, you know

1282
01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:15.119
you raised me. You know when
I was when I thought I was going

1283
01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:16.439
to be dying, all I thought
about was you. I love you.

1284
01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:20.000
You're my dad regards what that stupid
DNA test says, and I was like,

1285
01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:25.520
this is just lovely. But I
thought as a really really well earned

1286
01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:30.359
emotional ending, it was indeed,
and they, of course I had a

1287
01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:32.920
lot of heart, which we really
appreciate and which makes the Simpsons or symptoms.

1288
01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:36.079
But yeah, they also undercut up
with a few just neat little gags

1289
01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:41.079
in there, just yea, so
it's not overwhelmingly sweet. It's just like,

1290
01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:43.560
yeah, here's a little bit of
a laugh, just to you know,

1291
01:20:44.439 --> 01:20:45.840
cut it. So, yeah,
I know it was great. It

1292
01:20:46.279 --> 01:20:49.279
got the balance just right. Then
they got back to one of those little

1293
01:20:49.319 --> 01:20:55.840
credit scenes again and it's Mason Fairbanks
teaching Homer how to the stove is hot?

1294
01:20:55.920 --> 01:20:58.560
Can you teach me at the stover's
hot? And it goes exactly how

1295
01:20:58.560 --> 01:21:01.720
you expected to go, And I
think that was nice as well. I

1296
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:05.239
mean, I'm not always a fan
of those post credit or those credit end

1297
01:21:05.279 --> 01:21:09.840
credit sequences. You don't we say, but I thought it was nice to

1298
01:21:09.920 --> 01:21:13.720
sort of throw Mason back in just
a little bit. I mean, no,

1299
01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:15.359
no, just to remind you,
was like, oh, this guy

1300
01:21:15.520 --> 01:21:18.000
wasn't all bad. No, you
know, it's not that it's not like

1301
01:21:18.079 --> 01:21:23.039
this is a winner and loser situation. It's more like a he made the

1302
01:21:23.159 --> 01:21:27.239
right choice situation. But you know, it's not like Mason was a villain

1303
01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:29.479
or anything like that. I thought
that was I thought it was a nice

1304
01:21:29.520 --> 01:21:32.039
touch. I think the best way
to have ended this episode, it's just

1305
01:21:32.119 --> 01:21:36.840
my humble opinion. I thought would
have been too because Mason Fairback was a

1306
01:21:36.880 --> 01:21:41.279
good character. I thought, right
would be rather than just pretend that he

1307
01:21:41.319 --> 01:21:45.520
doesn't exist anymore, because you know, at this point in time when Homer,

1308
01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:47.439
when Granpa reveals to home with about
the DNA samples, Mason still thinks

1309
01:21:47.479 --> 01:21:49.600
that is his dad, right.
I thought the perfect way to end it

1310
01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:54.000
would have been Mason finding out that
Grandpa did the swap, being sad,

1311
01:21:54.239 --> 01:21:58.319
and then Homer, Grandpa and Mason
sharing dinner via the tube at the end

1312
01:21:58.439 --> 01:22:01.079
as a as a trio, as
a peace offering. Yes, I thought,

1313
01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:03.520
welcome to the family gesture. Yes, And it's like, you know,

1314
01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:05.840
because he's now going to go back
to having nobody again, but it's

1315
01:22:05.840 --> 01:22:10.399
like, no, we'll still be
We'll treat you how we were treating Grabath

1316
01:22:10.399 --> 01:22:12.680
throughout the episode when we thought he
wasn't real dead, So we'll still come

1317
01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:14.920
visit. You still do cool ship
with you. So I thought it would

1318
01:22:14.920 --> 01:22:17.199
be nice to sort of have them
together in the one shot together as one

1319
01:22:17.279 --> 01:22:20.079
unit, like like you were saying, yeah, Dando, your opinion maybe

1320
01:22:20.079 --> 01:22:24.279
a humble one, but it's also
the correct one. What do we learn,

1321
01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:28.039
Palmer? So what do you learn
from the episode, mister Davis that

1322
01:22:28.640 --> 01:22:30.159
I really should do that in the
loop, Yes, you really should do

1323
01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:35.239
that. Yes, And what I
learned was that never give people the old

1324
01:22:35.319 --> 01:22:44.239
cheapskate trail and they'll always take it, especially myself. Roby. All Right,

1325
01:22:44.279 --> 01:22:48.000
mister Davis, there's time for the
new Name Championship here on a four

1326
01:22:48.039 --> 01:22:51.560
figure discount to the Guy Davis New
In Championship for season seventeen. The current

1327
01:22:51.640 --> 01:22:56.319
leader board stands at this in first
position of Luke McKay on nine points,

1328
01:22:56.359 --> 01:23:00.640
in second position Heath Applebe on seven
points, and in third position we have

1329
01:23:00.880 --> 01:23:04.880
a tie between Nora Coca and Fergus
Jeff's both on five points. Okay,

1330
01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:10.640
what do we got this week.
Okay, one point goes too. Oh

1331
01:23:10.800 --> 01:23:15.159
father, here art thou is David
Mott, while I'm David. You get

1332
01:23:15.199 --> 01:23:18.640
the one point four this week that
puts you into I won't read it where

1333
01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:20.119
everyone is. We'll wait to be
up to the end because it could be

1334
01:23:20.159 --> 01:23:21.960
a bit of a jumble, I
said, David Mott. One point.

1335
01:23:21.960 --> 01:23:25.920
You've moved up the leaderboard. That's
all I'm gonna say. Nice work,

1336
01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:30.000
Motsky. Two points four. Homer
has got a brand new dad. Oh

1337
01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:33.159
boom, that's our man, Adam
Woolhouse. That puts him now on four

1338
01:23:33.199 --> 01:23:38.159
points while done with a two point
mister Woolhouse, Woolhouse in the house,

1339
01:23:38.439 --> 01:23:43.560
and three points for it's simple,
it's sweet, it's effective. Daddy's Homer.

1340
01:23:44.199 --> 01:23:47.000
Well, if there is someone who
is usually effective, it's Garrod harrow

1341
01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:51.640
Hill with the three points the grode
that has shaken things up somewhat because that

1342
01:23:51.720 --> 01:23:56.920
has now put Garrode in third position. All right, So who Luke McKay

1343
01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:00.840
still in first on nine he would
be on seven in second and Grod harrow

1344
01:24:00.880 --> 01:24:03.920
Hill now outright in third position,
just one point behind second on six points.

1345
01:24:04.079 --> 01:24:06.279
All right, God, what a
come back they're going to make it

1346
01:24:06.319 --> 01:24:10.640
happen. I can see them all
the way. Third comes right after second.

1347
01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:13.720
Grog just somehow sometimes goes I'm not
going to comment a name for about

1348
01:24:13.760 --> 01:24:15.840
four weeks, and I'll just drop
one in there now and then all three

1349
01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:19.520
points in here. Name worries Well, not to pick up in too much,

1350
01:24:19.560 --> 01:24:23.239
but he's kind of like the Michael
Jordan of don Yes, exactly right,

1351
01:24:23.319 --> 01:24:26.800
if you just rock up a gaze
swish Philip J. Hawkins, Zander

1352
01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:32.039
and grod harrow Hill like the Pip
and Jordan combination. Who's the Dennis Rodman?

1353
01:24:32.119 --> 01:24:38.760
I don't know. Well, we'll
work that outail here. Guys,

1354
01:24:38.800 --> 01:24:42.199
don't forget our mail bag questions.
You can send them through to Simpsons Mailbag

1355
01:24:42.319 --> 01:24:45.960
at gmail dot com. We'd love
to hear from each and every single one

1356
01:24:45.079 --> 01:24:47.920
of you. This first question,
he comes from Georgia. Catherine Georgia says,

1357
01:24:48.279 --> 01:24:51.640
if you found out you had a
different biological parent or sibling, etc.

1358
01:24:53.199 --> 01:24:56.119
Would you want to find slash meet
them or would you rather just let

1359
01:24:56.239 --> 01:25:00.239
sleeping dogs lie? I think the
curiosity would eventually get the better of you,

1360
01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:03.479
right, I think it would.
I think my initial reaction will be

1361
01:25:03.560 --> 01:25:12.680
like nap they don't need to complicate
matters any further. But the miniature here,

1362
01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:15.640
it is going to be like,
oh you got that got a niche,

1363
01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:17.720
you need to scratch it. Yeah, and yeah, you would probably

1364
01:25:18.439 --> 01:25:21.479
go find this new new relation,
find it. We are. You'd be

1365
01:25:21.520 --> 01:25:28.039
curious like you like I think you
like to think you are. You are

1366
01:25:28.039 --> 01:25:30.920
a creation of yourself. You know, it's like, yeah, everything about

1367
01:25:30.960 --> 01:25:31.760
me I've sort of built from the
ground up, you know. I mean,

1368
01:25:32.520 --> 01:25:35.439
you wonder how much of it is
nature and how much of it is

1369
01:25:35.560 --> 01:25:39.720
nurture and me imagine meeting someone's like, oh my god, it's like looking

1370
01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:43.159
in the mirror or oh holy shit, I do that or that's how I

1371
01:25:43.319 --> 01:25:45.800
sound sometimes and like oh oh it's
all out of my head. But also

1372
01:25:45.840 --> 01:25:49.000
the element of you spent your whole
life seeing yourself in a parent that's not

1373
01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:53.760
actually your parrot as well, make
you a question everything about you? Yeah.

1374
01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:58.840
Next question he comes from Kyle Muldoon. What smoke damaged item would you

1375
01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:04.159
buy from the smoke damage Outlet store? Um? A ham steamed hams smoked

1376
01:26:04.199 --> 01:26:14.399
ham a smoked ham from salmon chicken
breads? What damaged item? I don't

1377
01:26:14.439 --> 01:26:16.319
know what it's gonna be still functional, right, or maybe it's just sort

1378
01:26:16.319 --> 01:26:19.119
of it's so burnt it's like a
cool art piece you just display on the

1379
01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:23.720
shelf. Because smoke damage is pretty
fucked, isn't it. That's yeah,

1380
01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:29.199
I mean I'm pretty melted to those
things are from that shop especially, But

1381
01:26:29.279 --> 01:26:33.199
i mean even say, yeah,
this this cool jacket, it's not you

1382
01:26:33.279 --> 01:26:38.399
know, it's not fire damaged,
but it was in the house, that

1383
01:26:38.479 --> 01:26:41.279
it was in the burning house for
so long that the smoke is just in

1384
01:26:41.399 --> 01:26:44.039
it. You know, you can
send this to the dry cleaners so many

1385
01:26:44.119 --> 01:26:48.000
times, but it skill is still
gonna be still smells like a burnt house.

1386
01:26:48.279 --> 01:26:51.119
At the rest of sounding like an
absolute idiot, I've just realized the

1387
01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:55.520
whole point of that first scene anyway. I'll just realized the whole point of

1388
01:26:55.560 --> 01:26:59.039
it with the smoke damage outlet,
was it? It was the smoke that

1389
01:26:59.159 --> 01:27:01.039
melted the fucking ice. Yeah,
So I'm just like, oh, I

1390
01:27:01.079 --> 01:27:06.119
didn't put the talk together that the
smoke damage. Eventually Marge does something that

1391
01:27:06.199 --> 01:27:11.199
causes lots of smoke, which which
creates the smoke to melt the ice.

1392
01:27:11.399 --> 01:27:17.159
Oh. Anyway, next question here, Andrew JP, do you like Abe

1393
01:27:17.239 --> 01:27:20.239
was a character anymore. He has
some strong storylines early on, but now

1394
01:27:20.279 --> 01:27:24.279
he just seems to be a good
for a quick gag. We discussed,

1395
01:27:24.319 --> 01:27:26.800
we discussed that earlier. It has
felt that way, but I thought this

1396
01:27:26.880 --> 01:27:29.800
episode and last week, with that
middle one in particular, I've done a

1397
01:27:30.000 --> 01:27:31.319
good job of sort of reminding viewers. I no, no, he's not

1398
01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:36.119
just this decrepit old, unwanted characters. He's got some substance tone. No,

1399
01:27:36.239 --> 01:27:39.920
we've we've had a good one two
punch with the last couple of episodes

1400
01:27:39.920 --> 01:27:43.760
where but it's like, oh yeah, he can't contribute a add something to

1401
01:27:43.800 --> 01:27:46.680
the fabric. Absolutely, yeah,
I mean he's like any character. I

1402
01:27:46.720 --> 01:27:49.880
mean, he's just got to play
him right. We'll use him correctly,

1403
01:27:50.279 --> 01:27:54.359
and that's not always going to happen. And usually it's like with Grandpa,

1404
01:27:54.439 --> 01:27:56.840
the best stories for him are the
ones, whether kids or whatever, go

1405
01:27:57.560 --> 01:27:59.920
oh yeah, you're not just the
useless old man. You were once young,

1406
01:28:00.600 --> 01:28:03.319
like you were saying earlier, and
you once did shit, yeah,

1407
01:28:03.680 --> 01:28:09.560
or or just a reminders like you
know, treat the treat the elderly members

1408
01:28:09.560 --> 01:28:13.520
of our community with respect and afford
them dignity. Exactly. It's my one

1409
01:28:13.520 --> 01:28:15.039
of my favorite lines of all time. Coming on, folks, the dignity

1410
01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:17.399
is on me. It's one of
the best lines the Simpsons ever wrote.

1411
01:28:17.479 --> 01:28:21.119
And who says that exactly? That's
he, isn't it. It's in Yes,

1412
01:28:21.359 --> 01:28:25.840
blood money, but blood not blood
money. What's is that blood money

1413
01:28:25.960 --> 01:28:28.560
they called blood money? No,
that's not it. No, what's Beatrice

1414
01:28:28.600 --> 01:28:30.760
Simmons old money, old money,
not blood money. Old money. Yes,

1415
01:28:30.840 --> 01:28:32.560
that's the one. I knew it
was something money. I'm like,

1416
01:28:32.600 --> 01:28:36.399
it's not blood. Blood the blood, the blood the one where Homer asked,

1417
01:28:36.560 --> 01:28:39.760
um, I think it's called blood
feud, isn't it? Is that

1418
01:28:39.800 --> 01:28:42.680
the one where Homer bart donates blood
and mister burns and he gives them the

1419
01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:45.600
big giant head and Homer is furious
about it. Remember that one? Yeah,

1420
01:28:45.640 --> 01:28:46.279
I think so, yeah, yeah, okay, your old money.

1421
01:28:46.319 --> 01:28:49.159
Yeah, that's a that's one of
the best endings that you don't hear enough

1422
01:28:49.159 --> 01:28:53.279
people talk about that at that ending. It's just one of the it's almost

1423
01:28:53.319 --> 01:28:56.319
like peak Grandpa moment. I reckon
that one. Oh yeah, and yeah,

1424
01:28:56.399 --> 01:28:58.239
as I said, it is one. I'm one of the best lines

1425
01:28:58.279 --> 01:29:00.760
that the Simpsons ever delivered. Yeah, where you know the retirement castles just

1426
01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:04.800
turned into something really nice and it's
got the Beatris Simmons Memorial Memorial Dining Hall.

1427
01:29:04.880 --> 01:29:08.119
It's Oh, I'm going to tear
up just thinking about it right now.

1428
01:29:08.239 --> 01:29:11.520
Yeah, final question here, Harrison
McClure. Harrison says, have you

1429
01:29:11.600 --> 01:29:15.479
ever been out deep sea exploring or
in a boat? I'm not. I

1430
01:29:15.560 --> 01:29:19.279
get csick very very fast. I'm
not a scuba diver. I just I

1431
01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:23.279
was gonna fear of going under the
water. I'd like to do it.

1432
01:29:23.359 --> 01:29:25.439
I just just don't think I could
have actually been myself to do it,

1433
01:29:25.479 --> 01:29:27.760
which is a shame, but I
just don't don't. I don't like not

1434
01:29:27.800 --> 01:29:30.560
being able to see the bottom if
unless I'm in a boat. You know,

1435
01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:31.479
I'm in a boat, I can't
see the bottom. That's fine,

1436
01:29:31.520 --> 01:29:35.239
but but yeah, once when I
think I've mentioned it in another podcast,

1437
01:29:35.279 --> 01:29:39.319
where when on the boat that goes
to the Wineglass Bay and you go sort

1438
01:29:39.359 --> 01:29:41.439
of out in the out and the
you get out in the sea for a

1439
01:29:41.479 --> 01:29:45.159
little bit and it was fucking so
choppy. I've never felt so sick in

1440
01:29:45.239 --> 01:29:46.640
my life. Yeah, that's just
not for me being out in the ocean.

1441
01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:49.039
What about you? I only feel
the bath to out the halfway out.

1442
01:29:49.600 --> 01:29:55.000
I don't have a bath ever.
I have a few bath it's terrifying.

1443
01:29:55.119 --> 01:29:58.680
Well, I see, I just
I shower like I don't have baths.

1444
01:29:58.720 --> 01:30:01.399
I just I hate the idea of
just bathing my own filth. I

1445
01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:05.079
love the idea. Yeah, I
get ten minutes and I'm just like nicol

1446
01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:10.520
and I hopping the bath again.
It's like him, Yeah, that's that.

1447
01:30:11.520 --> 01:30:14.800
The idea is sexy. The biggest
myth, the biggest myth that's ever

1448
01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:16.800
been perpetuates like it would be so
sexy of a bath together or even a

1449
01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:19.920
shower together. It's like, no, this is my cleaning was fine,

1450
01:30:19.920 --> 01:30:26.279
getting pretty clean, okay, but
after a while, it's very nice to

1451
01:30:26.279 --> 01:30:28.279
be in here and also together.
But after a while I'm going to be

1452
01:30:28.279 --> 01:30:35.000
cleaning the dirty parts of my body. Now, that's it. I've got

1453
01:30:35.079 --> 01:30:41.880
to maintain that mistake exactly. Right
On that note, let's rape up this

1454
01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:45.920
this fantastic There is a fun episode
of four figured discaun here reviewing homes Paternity

1455
01:30:45.199 --> 01:30:49.039
had a good time. I hope
season seventeen continues on this trail because it's

1456
01:30:49.079 --> 01:30:53.720
been really good for the last month. I reckon it has been indeed,

1457
01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:56.960
we've We've had some good episodes to
talk about. Please keep it, please

1458
01:30:57.039 --> 01:30:59.680
keep the run going. Yes,
the next tide is called We're on the

1459
01:30:59.760 --> 01:31:02.560
Road to do Where should I say
that again? Where are the Road to

1460
01:31:02.880 --> 01:31:06.319
Dowear? Some love that movie that
that song is a kid. It was

1461
01:31:06.359 --> 01:31:09.920
in one of my favorite movies,
which I know is terrible. I haven't

1462
01:31:09.920 --> 01:31:12.079
watched this another little kid, and
I'm not going to revisit it because I

1463
01:31:12.119 --> 01:31:14.960
wanted to stay my memory as the
movie that I remembered it was called Little

1464
01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:19.800
Monsters starring Fred Savage, Oh and
how Howey Mandel as them as the monster.

1465
01:31:20.119 --> 01:31:24.199
Loved that movie as a kid,
and it's like I've ruined so many

1466
01:31:24.239 --> 01:31:27.039
movies from my childhood by revisiting them
and going, oh, this was shit.

1467
01:31:27.319 --> 01:31:28.920
So I'm just going to leave that
one in the memory bank. But

1468
01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:30.720
that that movie ends with that song, So whenever I hear road to Nowhere,

1469
01:31:31.039 --> 01:31:33.319
it reminds me of that, of
that moment. Yeah, it's by

1470
01:31:33.359 --> 01:31:36.560
the band Talking Heads. It is
indeed. Yes, So have you seen

1471
01:31:36.680 --> 01:31:41.199
the concert where they build the stage
live during the opening song? Is that

1472
01:31:41.279 --> 01:31:44.159
stop making sense? I'm not sure
that's what it is, but anyway,

1473
01:31:44.199 --> 01:31:45.720
basically this the stage is empty at
the start, and then by the end

1474
01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:48.600
of like the first song or whatever, like there's like a whole setup built

1475
01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:53.119
as they're singing. I imagine that
stopped making sense, which is just,

1476
01:31:53.239 --> 01:31:57.560
you know, one of the best
concert movies of all time. Let's double

1477
01:31:57.680 --> 01:32:00.840
check that. Yes, but yeah, but we're on the road to dough

1478
01:32:00.880 --> 01:32:02.720
where it is going to be the
next episode of four Finger discount when we're

1479

what did you do on your thirteenth birthday?

1485
01:32:24.880 --> 01:32:28.239
Can you remember what you did on
your thirteenth birthday? Crack cocaine?

1486
01:32:28.359 --> 01:32:31.199
Crack cocaine, Yes, I had
I remember that. It's been defined by

1487
01:32:31.359 --> 01:32:35.239
in my friendship group as Dando's Chicken
party, where I think I might mentioned

1488
01:32:35.239 --> 01:32:39.399
it before. My parents just basically, what do you want for your birthday?

1489
01:32:39.439 --> 01:32:41.920
Do you want pizzas or whatever?
I was like, everyone's like KFC,

1490

My dad leaves comes back with two

chicken and one box full of just chips,

1492
01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:57.039
and it's just like go and everyone's
like just chicken and chips and video

1493
01:32:57.119 --> 01:33:00.159
