00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.000
Have a dollar same to you.
I'll take our notes. Bulls Grampa,

2
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:09.119
no grum pass. If the bull
dice, the crowd goes wild. If

3
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.279
grumpa dice, the crowd goes wild. Either way, we make a fortune

4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:20.079
on souvenir sun snacks. Can we
bring outside food? Not even gum?

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:40.799
Four finger discount dude, Welcome to
four figure Discount, the podcast where we

6
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.960
all have meltmania. This week we
are Hitter review episode jb F zero nine.

7
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.119
It is million dollars ab I am
edo, I am guy and hmm,

8
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.719
what to say about this episode?
Well, I was trying to be

9
00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.399
enthusiastic because no, this episode was
morbid and sad and depressing. I watched

10
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.159
this episode and I watched it twice, as I usually do. The first

11
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.560
time I watched it, I was
like, yeah, Grandpa episode, it's

12
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:07.920
a story, blah blah blah.
And I rewatched it and I was like,

13
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.840
doesn't really make a whole lot of
sense the story and the topic that

14
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.000
you've got. You haven't really handed
it very well. You know, the

15
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.560
issue of euthanasia should mean more than
just be sort of like a subplot for

16
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.840
what eventually becomes Grandpa becoming mad at
all. This is so weird and sad

17
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.760
and depressing, and I've got here. Grandpa tries to kill himself because nobody

18
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.480
apparently loves him. Right then we
see him kill or when it seemed,

19
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.120
but he kills the ball. When
that happened, I was like, wait,

20
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.280
he actually killed the bull. I
could not believe it. I was

21
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:52.719
like, what, Yeah. I
think we've been trained by particular TV shows

22
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.400
and movies or whatever. When you
have a moment like that and someone goes,

23
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.799
oh, yeah, makes the big
stamp thinking about it, does the

24
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.040
does the shot or whatever, it's
usually like I could have killed you,

25
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.640
but it didn't, you know,
because I'm the better man, or because

26
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.719
I've learned the lesson or something.
I was like, Oh, no,

27
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:14.319
actually happened. Kill that killed that
ball? M Yeah. Tackling topics like

28
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.639
euthan asia or a sister dying or
and animal cruelty, I mean, and

29
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.840
blood sports and things like, it's
like, I think you need to think

30
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.680
it through a lot more and I
think you need to handle a lot more

31
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.680
sensitively than you did in this particular
episode. I keep going back when I

32
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.840
think of when I think a Grandpa
Simpson, when I think of Abe Simpson

33
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.240
an episode sort of arounding him.
I mean, the one that always leaves

34
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.240
to mind is no, we've talked
about the last and I keep remember getting

35
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.800
the actual tie of the episode,
the one that ends with him getting the

36
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:53.199
inheritance and refurbishing the Springfield retirement Castle, so it's a decent place for elderly

37
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.680
people to see out their days and
live there last years with that great final

38
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.400
line of bad dignities on me And
I mean, that's a sad episode,

39
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.759
but it's also quite touching and it
touches on some important issues, but it

40
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.360
also has its share of gags in
there as well. It shows that it's

41
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.159
not impossible for a series like this
to handle issues like those very very well,

42
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.360
and this episode sort of does in
the opposite of that. It's just

43
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.000
not good at all. It's just
what's disappointing for me is that it is

44
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.319
such a serious issue that could have
been if it was handled correctly, explored

45
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.280
properly, it wouldn't have felt so
annoying. But it's just this this topic

46
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.879
of yourthanations sort of part of this
mess of an episode, Like, for

47
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:37.319
example, had the law not changed
just before Grandpa was about to die,

48
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.680
Grandpa literally would have been dead and
the family wouldn't have even known or cared.

49
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.479
And then we're supposed to believe the
Lisa story, which she's like,

50
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.599
I've always believed in your grandpa,
And I'm like, well, where were

51
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.879
you when he fucking needed you?
Yeah. I was about to say this

52
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:57.199
is meant to be a touching moment
and like, I've never really felt that

53
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.919
strongly connection between these two characters,
though, don't expect me going to buy

54
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.560
in now. So I'm like,
what I do is I'll watch these episodes

55
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.199
and I go set aside thirty seconds
hit that time and try to come up

56
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.520
with a better story. I'm not
saying this is better. This is all

57
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.000
I come up with, right,
this is my thirty second thing. If

58
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.279
you just put us like thirty seconds, guys and fucking think about it,

59
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:18.160
you could have gotten something out of
it. So I've just got you could

60
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.680
have had Lisa go to visit him, right, because she sees that everyone's

61
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.680
bad down on Grandpa. Could have
heard Homer in Marge say something bad about

62
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.279
him, and she goes, oh, he probably needs somebody. She goes

63
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.079
to visit him, he's not there. She finds the card for the euth

64
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:31.959
and Asia place on this desk.
She races to stop him, she stops

65
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.160
him, and then we get sort
of like a healthish episode where it's like

66
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.399
Bart and Grandpa working together, but
it's Lisa and Grandpa working together to solve

67
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.839
something right. That could be a
nice story. Instead it's like no one

68
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.639
loved him, no one visited him, no one called him, so he

69
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.439
tried to kill himself. Any reason
he didn't die is because the law changed.

70
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.519
And then he goes to see them
and that it's like, what are

71
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.079
you doing here? What I don't
know? And then later on the episode

72
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.240
was supposed to believe that, Lisa's
like, I've always believed in you.

73
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.680
Now you're not helping me, and
I'm like, you weren't there for him.

74
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.800
That was the whole reason he wanted
to die. You've nailed it,

75
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:13.600
you really. I mean, this
is just shodly constructed all the way through.

76
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.199
I mean even by the first half, before any of the assistance who

77
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:21.600
was or or mattad or stuff comes
into it, it's kind of like just

78
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.879
just tonally and in terms of the
jokes and the characterizations all that, there's

79
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.600
two there's two jokes in this episode
and can I just point them out?

80
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.360
First, one having to tell your
relative that you love them despite the fact

81
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.680
that they're gay. That's apparently a
joke. And then the other joke is

82
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.800
ha ha, Lenny, you've got
down syndrome. Ha ha. Why wait,

83
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.000
so the joke is that Lenny has
down syndrome. That's that's your joke.

84
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.920
Well, he's missunder yeah, I
mean he's caught up in meltdown mania

85
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.160
clearly, and you know he and
Lenny, he and Carl, you know,

86
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.600
doing their tag team thing like I've
got melt mania, I've got down

87
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.240
syndrome. I was like, oh, wait a minute, I should have

88
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.680
thought that, yeah, even him
just saying oh I realized I just said,

89
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.480
oh you know him sorry yeah,
or just yeah. Season seventeen syentims

90
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.839
would have said, oh, I
should have thought that through, or just

91
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.519
or just don't do it or just
don't do it. Well, that's the

92
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.199
other thing. It's also not not
that funny. Let's go. It adds

93
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.040
nothing to this episode. Like,
I don't know, just I feel like

94
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.439
having having down syndrome be any form
of a punchline in any way, whether

95
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.000
it's putting down people, dancing down
or not. I don't know. Maybe

96
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.600
I'm specting. Obviously I don't have
it, but I've got relatives who have,

97
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.639
and I just watched that, going, does that really need to be

98
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.079
a joke in a Symptons episode?
I don't know. Maybe I'm just touchy

99
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.360
about it, but I just I
was. I watched that and went,

100
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.360
I don't know about that one.
I don't know about that one. Mister

101
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.600
Tim Long not a huge fan.
Yeah, look, I didn't like it,

102
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.160
but I can understand how you could
sort of make it work. So

103
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.519
it's a joke on Lenny, if
you know what I mean. But if

104
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.000
people just say, for example,
there's an eight year old out there watching

105
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.639
this episode and they see that,
what would the eight year old think?

106
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.879
That's a good point. This is
a fucking kids show. Kids kids don't

107
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.199
think that literally about the jokes.
I know it's jokes for adults as well,

108
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.439
but the jokes that are distasteful in
that sense shouldn't require you to have

109
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.439
to think about to understand it,
because kids can't do that. So a

110
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.560
kid watching this who has Down syndrome
would would feel bad watching this? Well,

111
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.160
yeah, I mean they would may
well pick up that they feel like

112
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.839
they're the butt of the joke,
which exactly, Yeah, so keep the

113
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.920
joke, keep the layer jokes the
things that aren't going to be seeing or

114
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.319
could potentially upset the younger viewers.
Maybe I'm just being touchy about it.

115
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.720
I don't know, but I just
joke annoyed me. I'm gonna I'm gonna

116
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.000
give Tim Long and the Writer's room
in the benefit of the doubt in this

117
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.439
regard. But at the same time, I think it was poorly executed.

118
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.240
I don't I don't think it was
bad in in concept. I think it

119
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:53.120
was poorly executed. But then I
don't know if I can forgive Tim Long

120
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.279
on the writers room for a lot
of stuff in this episode, because it

121
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.879
just felt like an autopilot, or
to use modern analogy, it felt ai

122
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.879
It's like, this is this is
what would happen in a Simpsons episode,

123
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.959
this is what these particular characters would
say. Let's feed all the scripts in

124
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:13.079
and see what it spits out in
this particular scenario. And yeah, it

125
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.439
just felt I hate to keep going
back over the same, you know,

126
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.360
the same things when we talk about
season seventeen, But I mean, it

127
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:28.480
felt like it lacked heart and instead
was just being a real sort of wise

128
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.120
guy or a real wise ass in
terms of its jokes. It's like,

129
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:37.240
yeah, it's like it's yeah,
like you're funny made whose jokes are just

130
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.679
really the expense of everybody else.
Hey, that's me. But well,

131
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.440
for example, we'll bring up South
Park right. When they take on issues

132
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.039
like euthan Asian and things like that, you can usually get a sense of

133
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.039
what Trayer might really think about the
issue. But they do a really good

134
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.080
way of showing it from both perspectives
as well, making both showing the pros

135
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.840
and kinds of both sides of the
argument. Well, in this one here

136
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.200
you come out of it and you're
like, so, what do the Simpsons

137
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.480
right to think about euthanasia? Or
did you just think it would just be

138
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.720
a funny thing to just talk about
if it's for ten minutes in a twenty

139
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.279
minute episode, you know, yeah, Or it's a way to get it's

140
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.799
a way to lead to Grandpa becoming
a matter matter door. Yeah, it's

141
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.799
like, what are the circumstances would
yeah, that would make Grandpa Simpson get

142
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.000
into a ring with a bull.
He's got a new lease on life?

143
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.000
Why is he got a new lease
on life? Because he tried to kill

144
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.759
him. Why did you try to
kill himself? Because this happen, we

145
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.399
need we need one single solitary person
to be the bullfighter. I'll be the

146
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.240
matta door. Grandpa will do it. And it's like what what what?

147
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.559
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if
you went to a bullfight in Spain or

148
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.320
Mexico or wherever, there's usually wall
more than one bullfight per day, so

149
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.639
usually one more than more than one
matter do all the day. I don't

150
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.399
know, never been to a bullfight. Is there's just one fight per day

151
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.399
or all these towns that people go
for one fight and then it's over and

152
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.399
then because it lasts like thirty seconds. And the other argument is and you

153
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.240
can hide behind the whole while they're
springfield and they're dumb. Right, that's

154
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.360
fine, you're going to hide behind
that lazy argument. Go for it.

155
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.360
But why did they build the stadium
before they had it signed off? Why

156
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.600
was the stadium built before the commissioners
signed to the contract. I think they

157
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:09.360
might have actual precedence in real life. I don't think you would pump millions

158
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:16.159
of taxpayers money into a stadium if
you hadn't had a contract signed saying that

159
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.519
it's going to be used. Look, I'm probably completely wrong here, but

160
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.639
doesn't get the feeling that there have
been certain Yeah, they have a course,

161
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.039
of course, taken a few steps
forward and exaggerated for comic effect in

162
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.039
this game. But anyway, that's
neither here nor there. The whole thing

163
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.159
also about really sinking the boots into
Springfield. I mean that whole Springfield Blows

164
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.000
song. I don't know, I
don't know. I didn't even know what

165
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.279
to make of that. My argument
to that, right thing is so as

166
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.639
company goes, it's come down to
La and Springfield, because Ala sent in

167
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:50.200
this really great video, right,
And the whole point of ALA's video is

168
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.480
don't choose Springfield, choose us.
But how do they know it's going to

169
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.759
come down to those two while start
making the video? The whole video was

170
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.720
the reason it got down to those
two. Good A good nitpick there.

171
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.080
The whole point you chose Ala and
spring was like Ala said this great video

172
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.960
and check it out, and the
video is about how it's down to those

173
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.399
two. But how did Ala know
it was down to those two? Yeah,

174
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.480
I mean, I know You've got
to have a throwaway line in there

175
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.600
somewhere about la having a spy in
the office or something. I don't know,

176
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.240
but and I'm just I've just gotten
my notes. You compare this song

177
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:28.080
right to getting game with kids,
like the South Park songs, you know,

178
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.159
compared to what this is. I
was like this, like and Simpsons

179
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.679
songs are usually pretty good, usually
pretty catchy. Yeah, and the Simpson

180
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.440
songs are like, they're usually awesome, but this one, I'm just like,

181
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:43.799
this went on and on and fucking
on. It just went on.

182
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:52.080
Yeah. So just um, a
lot of things just wrong with this episode.

183
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.159
I mean from the side show Mel
camera, they're bad to begin with,

184
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.000
but then this is the thing.
They've got a checklist now for season

185
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.320
seventeen. It's homophobic joke, Sacho
Mel says something loud. That's every episode,

186
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.240
every episode. But even then it's
like and he's like, oh,

187
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.080
Sacho Mel speaks like this, so
he must be kind of raday. It's

188
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.360
an elegant or whatever. It's like, isn't your mother a common hoole?

189
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:18.440
It's like, whoa, I feel
myself feeling like a broken record here in

190
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.120
terms of like this is a bit
like family guy, Oh, you've taken

191
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.440
that out of the seth McFarland playbook. Now, you know, all do

192
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.200
you respect to Seth McFarland, who's
you know, managed to create a little

193
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.320
comedy empire out of his particular brand
of whimsy. But also he's the worst

194
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.360
fucking thing that's happened to when animation
and a lot of it, but he

195
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.039
made it. He made a thing. Like what he did was he goes,

196
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.639
all right, what's the most popular
show animated show at the time?

197
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.519
It was South Park, but also
Simpsons. Right, everyone was talking about

198
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.120
the Simpsons. All right, if
we're going to compete with the Simpsons,

199
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.480
we need to be the opposite of
the Simpsons. So they did what south

200
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.360
Park. They did what Simpsons weren't
doing. But then they sort of getting

201
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.519
They started gaining some some um steam
and gaining some traction, and Simpsons were

202
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.519
like, oh, maybe we need
to be more like them. It's like

203
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.279
no, no, no, no, no, no, stay not learn.

204
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.399
But they're the old they're the alternative. Keep doing what you're doing,

205
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.000
don't take the exit, keeps stay
on the highway. So yeah, I

206
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.279
mean between that kind of sideshow mel
joke or yeah, the angry textan who

207
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.519
quite frankly, he's starting to reach
sideshow mel levels of wearing out his welcome.

208
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.600
What else is in there that sucks? I don't know, pretty much

209
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:33.399
everything just a very frustrating, disappointing, piss poor kind of episode. Million

210
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.279
dollars abe. As far as I'm
concerned, I didn't mind the youth and

211
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.600
Asia story. I was like,
this is a topic that I've never seen

212
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.440
a Simpsons take on before. But
that's just the way. It just became

213
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.240
such a throwaway part of the story
by the end of it. The youth

214
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.159
and Asia wasn't even discussed, just
like like, oh, you know,

215
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.559
he's got a new lease on life
and he's gonna live life to his force,

216
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.919
so he's gonna be a mad at
or it's like, but is he

217
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:54.840
doing itally he's got a new lease
on life? Or was he doing it

218
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.000
because he doesn't care about life anymore. He just wants to die and being

219
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.559
mat like, what's what's the what's
your story here? It's just what is

220
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.879
your story? Does you want to
live or not want to live? Yeah,

221
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.240
explain that. You know, I've
got a new lease of laugh,

222
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.960
so I'm going to do all the
things I never did, or you know,

223
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:15.080
I'm starting to feel depressing it I
need to risk death to feel life

224
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.879
again. So he starts doing more
and more risky shit, and this is

225
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.279
the apex of that. It's like
I'm getting getting in the ring with a

226
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.559
bull, even though an old man
who probably has got shit reflexes and came

227
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.200
over. That could have been like
part of a montage or something, just

228
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:33.840
something throw away and jumping down a
plane or whatever. Yeah, or if

229
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.559
we're gonna do like a euthanasia episode, this may feel a bit like cheating.

230
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.039
But have someone else from the retirement
castle feel like, oh, I

231
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.440
don't want to live anymore. I've
heard about this guy you know who brought

232
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.159
in the card, wasn't Jasper?
Old Jewish guy. Old Jewish guy,

233
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:54.440
have that character who's not unfamiliar to
the viewers of the shows. And I've

234
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.320
had enough of this, you know, I mean, give them a little

235
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.080
bit of a side. Plus,
I don't have any relatives life, I

236
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.960
get it. Why am I even
here? And have them explore the idea

237
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.399
of like it's time for me to
check out, and it gets Grandpa thinking

238
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.360
about it to some degree, or
Grandpa says, no, there's more to

239
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.320
it than this. You can you
can. Let's let's let's do a piss

240
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.039
take on the bucket list. Grandpa
could walk in and find the card or

241
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.480
something and Grandpa's whan it stops and
then he get Grandpa helping your Jewish guide

242
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.799
go and do things that he wants
to take off his bucket list. You

243
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.720
know what I mean? Yeah,
I mean I think this episode. Okay,

244
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.480
when when did the bucket List come
out? I think this episode predates

245
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.320
the bucket List? But we're two
dozen six shook the bucket list. I

246
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.879
think bucket list is like twenty tens
or something. Oh that like, okay,

247
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.559
let's have a look the bucke List
two thousand and seven. Oh okay,

248
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.559
yeah, so it wasn't far off
far off. The script, the

249
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.000
script for the buckle lists were probably
circulating around Hollywood at that stage. You

250
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.480
could have ripped it off. Hey, hey, hey, the bucket List

251
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.039
directed by Simpsons episode guest are Rob
Ryner. What the hell? Man?

252
00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.279
Yeah, he knew about it,
he knew, he knew, and he

253
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.200
let it happen. Fuck you,
Rob Wrider. Oh man. But this

254
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.279
is the thing, right, this
is the thing. Like I said,

255
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.440
I sweared anything. I set the
thirty second timer, and I came up

256
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.240
with something that is phar more logical, and more enjoyable, and what leaves

257
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.720
you feeling like shit than what was
delivered here. I just don't understand how

258
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.639
what was so important about Grandpa being
a matter or did you just see the

259
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.000
design of the character and go that's
going to be so funny. I just

260
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.480
don't understand. And Lisa's at the
front and at the end when all the

261
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.080
bulls run out and Lisa's goes Grandpama
rust set them free? Like, what

262
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.759
made you come to that conclusion?
Why would you think Grandpa was the one

263
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.200
to set them free? Grandpa was
the one that was killing them before.

264
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:47.759
What is happening? What is happening? Indeed my favorite? Did you have

265
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.720
any favorite moments from this episode,
mister Davis? Okay, shocker, I

266
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.320
had a few another originally really relate
to the episode. I just think it's

267
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.639
very important though, that we we
criticize things when they need to be criticize,

268
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.599
but also we'll highlight, we'll find
positives as well, but when something

269
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.880
doesn't make sense, it will be
pointed out because it's just ridiculous that,

270
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.720
yeah, when something is off key, yeah you're gonna let them know.

271
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.880
Because I'm passionate about the Simpsons.
You know, I grew up the Simpsons.

272
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:15.599
I love the Simpson I want the
Simpsons to be the best. I

273
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.400
want the episodes that we reviewed to
be enjoyable. But when you're delivering this

274
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.519
stuff, it's like, no,
what are you doing? Okays? Yeah,

275
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.400
I love the Simpsons. I want
them to be better. That's why

276
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.720
I get so angry when this kind
of stuff happens. But what did you

277
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:34.119
enjoy? Simpsons? What I like
from this episode? I'm an r M

278
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:41.440
fan from way back? Yeah,
so if you if you play I Am

279
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.200
Superman, um, Yeah, that's
from I think it might be from Green.

280
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.119
It's a it's a great yeah it
is. Yeah, and then nobody

281
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.640
loves you John Lennon. So I
got both their favorites there. Everybody's happy.

282
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.160
Ah, So yeah, quite happy
with that. Another thing I'm fan

283
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:03.480
of is dour, downbeat nineteen seventies
science fiction movies. So if you have

284
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:08.079
a prolonged tribute to soilond Green,
as this episode did, where Grandpa ends

285
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.400
up in the suicide room, where
hey, we're going to play a certain

286
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.559
kind of music and we're going to
show you footage from there from the good

287
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.720
old days, Okay, that's all
right by me. It's a nice twist

288
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.519
in Soiland Green of character goes into
such a room. They play some lovely

289
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.000
classical music and it's a really shihouse
future and they get to show him all

290
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.160
this lovely nature. But it's like, well, this is really illuminating the

291
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.039
message of this movie, and you
know, making me feel a tear or

292
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.920
dope. My Grandpa Simpsons, the
Glenn Miller and what hippies get beaten up

293
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.480
and I literally have mines. Guy
will appreciate this. Guy did appreciate that.

294
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.680
And also another one third thing I'm
a fan of is wordplay. So

295
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.519
I liked when outside the public meeting
had said come for the agenda, stay

296
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.359
for the adenda. I really liked
the battery dead and an assistant dead on

297
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:02.160
the commssioner's phone, and the Blackbrie. Well those things they died a quick

298
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:07.799
death, didn't they. Blacky.
There's a movie out now. If you're

299
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.880
it's not in cinemas in Australia at
the moment, but if you've got a

300
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:18.160
the PN or no scruples, yeah
that's correct, called BlackBerry. And it's

301
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.759
a bit like because there are all
these movies out at the moment about here's

302
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.680
how they tetris and he's how they
did you know he's at the Great the

303
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:27.319
Air George. How many people and
how long do you reckon know are paid

304
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.960
to come up with that title?
How how long were their brainstorming in the

305
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:33.319
room coming up with the title for
that movie? And how much do you

306
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.519
reckon it cost a movie company to
pay these people to come up with that

307
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.799
name. But apparently this one's not
bad. I haven't seen it yet,

308
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.720
but it's about the making of the
BlackBerry. I always like those movies.

309
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.319
I mean, I really people a
few of my friends had they had it,

310
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.880
but I'd like, for example,
the Steve Jobs movie and things I

311
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.880
find Steve Jobs movie is fucking great. Yeah, I'm going to the mat

312
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.799
for that one. That's awesome.
Way the way he created the iPod,

313
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.839
it's just like an amazing story.
Amazing, absolutely it is. Yeah.

314
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.960
Oh look, there's a lot to
be said about about these movies and the

315
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.680
way they're told as well. I
mean, i'd seen I've seen Air at

316
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.160
the cinema and we get it for
the Four Fingered Scan Network. It did

317
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:21.079
into the Spider Verse sequel review.
Let me show you something just real quick.

318
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.079
This is guys to do list for
the weekend. Everything is crossed off

319
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.519
except record movie reviews of Spider Verse
and john Wick four. So make that

320
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.519
happen, pase, So I'll do
that tonight. I am sorry about that.

321
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:40.559
But just above that was spend time
with Girlfriend is the title from what

322
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:48.480
You've Taught Me? John Wick Snore, john Wick Moore, john Wick Please

323
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:56.640
anymore? Uh yeah, But I
mean I rewatched Air yeah, just the

324
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.920
other weekend because it was like,
because you're a pirate that No, No,

325
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.119
it's actually on Prime Video now,
Oh shit, did you pay for

326
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.200
us? It just for free to
watch? Yeah, it's free. I

327
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.480
mean that's what it was. It
was bought by Amazon initially, Oh wow.

328
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.079
And then they're like, oh,
we'll throw it in cinemas for a

329
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.880
few weeks and see we can make
a little cash off it. But then

330
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.640
we'll put it on put it on
Prime And you know, I was down

331
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.359
at my sister's plays and I was
like, oh, I don't want to

332
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:25.240
think too much. I don't know
if I've got enough energy to devote to

333
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:29.359
something new. It was like er
will do? And I rewatched it.

334
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.759
I was like, yeah, this
is really good. And I think Affleck's

335
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.799
really smart in terms of like making
just movies that are default movies for a

336
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:38.920
Sunday night. But it's like,
I don't want to think I trust these

337
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:44.599
guys. Yeah. Yeah, and
I'm Blackberries apparently in that vein about you

338
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.440
know, the making of the BlackBerry, how do we get the BlackBerry?

339
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:55.160
Because these BlackBerry died assistant dad correct, Oh man, sorry, I've really

340
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.119
got to get more discipline when it
comes to these dumber side tracks. Oh

341
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.160
that's fun. The other thing really
liked, there's nothing to do with the

342
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.759
actual episode. I really liked the
chalk gag. Did you see the chalk

343
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.160
gag? The upside down chalk gag? Yeah? I was like, that's

344
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.880
how has it not been done before? I was very creative. I liked

345
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.799
it. Yeah, I thought I
got a big kick out the chalk gat

346
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.160
when I says somebout the episode on. One of my favorite moments is the

347
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:22.000
chalkboard gag, which is usually some
of them, some of them good,

348
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.359
some not so much. This one
not too bad. Next question, you

387
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:47.079
Davis, it's time now for some
trivia. So what is your first question?

388
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:52.359
My first question is how many slot
machines are there on the Las Vegas

389
00:24:52.359 --> 00:25:00.359
trash barge? Oh shit, is
it a lot? No, I'm gonna

390
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.119
say seven. I'm gonna give you
the correct anto, which is two two.

391
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.920
Okay, I thought, like,
what's a casino number? Seven?

392
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.559
Yes? My first question is what
are the three forms of death available at

393
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:17.079
the euthan Asia? Say, no, damn it. There's peaceful death,

394
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.079
instant, slow and painful, and
megadeath. I knew there was megadeath.

395
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:23.559
That was the one thing I did
remember which was like, it's okay,

396
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:30.559
I guess, um, what is
doctor Egoyan's phone number? I didn't write

397
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:36.880
it down? What was it?
It client two two two two two two

398
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:41.599
two. No, it is five
five five zero three six two okay six

399
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.480
two alright. My next one is
who is sponsoring the bull fight at the

400
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:52.839
end? Oh damn it, um, it's Taco Pronto. Taco pronto.

401
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.440
speF your taco ponto. Yes,
if when you don't want to wait twenty

402
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.680
minutes for a daco, no taco
pronto, ta pronto. I'm pretty sure

403
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:02.359
he was the commentated from the soccer
game that time, the one who was

404
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.880
like overenthusiastic about it much happening at
all? Ye, speaking of soccer,

405
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.599
I don't I don't know who won
the games pot football for all you know

406
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.359
UK lists. Of course we call
it soccer here in Australia. But on

407
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.319
paramount plus they had the final between
Man City and Man United I think,

408
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.240
and like someone scored a goal and
with like the first player of the game,

409
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.079
like the first ten seconds or whatever. I was like, what's happened?

410
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:27.480
What the good names happened to soccer? You know what I mean?

411
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.880
You sure? You want? You
sure? You weren't watching ted LASSA maybe,

412
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.400
but yeah, it's literally if the
patterns like the quickest score ever in

413
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.559
history or something for Grand Final Final, they do it quick down in Manchester

414
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.759
they do indeed. All right,
what's your next one? My third and

415
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:51.119
final question for you is, um, where did Mire Quimby meet Lloyd Bridges?

416
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.000
Oh? Yeah? Was that an
airport? It was an airport in

417
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:02.799
Atlanta? What what? No?
I wasn't hearts Field? Hearts Field?

418
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.640
All right? And my final question
is Luigi's is closed on which day of

419
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.279
the week. Oh, it's the
day of the week that most fish and

420
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:14.640
chip shops are closed in Geelong.
So Monday, Monday. Yeah. And

421
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.640
someone told me this story once and
I don't know if it's true, And

422
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:19.440
you know, I did this quite
often. Like someone told me this and

423
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.799
it sounds true and I've run with
it forever. It's that Monday's is the

424
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.599
day and wish in which all the
shops go to the fish market to pick

425
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.160
up their fish, fresh fish for
the week. I'm like, that is

426
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.440
believable. I'm going to accept that
as a true answer. I'm going to

427
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.319
run with it for the rest of
my life. But it is Monday just

428
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:40.640
not a day the people eat fish
and chips Like, it's always just Monday.

429
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:41.960
Fish and chip shops are closed on
a Monday. I'm like, there's

430
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.480
gonna be a reason that every single
fish and chip shop is closed on a

431
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.440
Monday. And the logical answer is
that's when they're going buy their stock.

432
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:49.680
I'm like it kind of makes sense. But why you would have to be

433
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:53.200
closed to buy your stock, I
don't know. But every Monday, the

434
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.480
fucking fish and chip shops are closed. It's weird. Is it light that

435
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:59.359
anywhere else or is it just a
geelong thing? Well? What day of

436
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:00.839
the way in the UK listeners in
particular, is there a day of the

437
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.440
week in which fish and chip shops
are closed? Because you know, fish

438
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.359
and chips is fish and chips is
like the big thing in the UK's it's

439
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.960
their meal. And what is the
fish and chip day? Like what you

440
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.880
can in the show used to be
the Sunday night thing, wasn't it?

441
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:18.480
Fish and chips very from Sunday Sunday
roast. Yeah, growing up in the

442
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.839
Catholic house, I'll be you have
fish on a Friday and yeah, sometimes

443
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:25.640
you wouldn't feel like cooking fish,
so you get fish and chips, but

444
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:30.440
also from air. For me,
particularly my late teens and early twenties,

445
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.599
it's like Sunday night as fish and
chips night. I'd be like, I've

446
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:36.960
got a bit of a hangover and
eat something greasy to sort of, you

447
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.440
know, ease me into the week. I'm gonna squeeze some sauce on the

448
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:44.160
paper. Oh yeah, absolutely,
um so it's a piece of flake minimum

449
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.000
chips too, dimmies. Stop off
at the seven eleven on the way,

450
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:52.039
grab a big bottle of water and
a pack of Marlboro lights. Come come

451
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.920
home and watch Beverly Hills nine two
on the day of Special listeners. You

452
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.880
should have seen the hier glee of
guide has revenucing then good time. It's

453
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:07.680
great classing kids. So Sunday night
was your that was your nine two and

454
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:10.640
o night? Was it that?
That's what was on that night? For

455
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.240
me? That was New Simpsons eventually
became the Wednesday night in Australia, but

456
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:15.839
when I was a kid, New
Simpsons was Sunday night, and it was

457
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.799
like and Dad would always own the
TV on a Sunday night because we wanted

458
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.599
to watch whatever was on Sunday Night. Becau Sunday night. They had the

459
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.519
important stuff on it right, so
Dad would have the big TV and we'd

460
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.680
be in mum and Dad's room watching
new Simpsons on out on my dad's bed.

461
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.279
I never one of my most vivid
memories of watching The Simpsons as a

462
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.680
kid, it's being in mum and
Dad's room when the new episode of Who

463
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:38.319
Shot Mister Burns? Part two was
airing for the first time, and my

464
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:42.640
sister Stacy and I had spent like
all fucking the summer or whatever it was,

465
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:47.400
or the winter, whatever it's in
Australia trying to work out who shot

466
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:49.200
mister Burns. We had a little
notepads and we'd written down things and I

467
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.880
thought, I thought Smith's the obvious
one, and we had it set in

468
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.599
stone. I'll never forget. My
dad walks in. He's like, you

469
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:57.519
can watching Simpsons out there if you
won no show. He's finished, but

470
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:00.119
okay, and it's like, we
find it. We're gonna find it.

471
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.000
Who shops to Burns? Day goes? They said on the radio the baby

472
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:10.960
did it? And I was like, Nady, why oh man. That's

473
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.960
one of my first experience of a
proper spoiler. It was so important to

474
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:19.759
me that episode and the heartbreak of
knowing who it was. I was so

475
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:26.200
sad. But they said on the
radio, that's already been on. We're

476
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.200
like, no, it hasn't.
He's like, yeah, they said on

477
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:34.359
the radio, the baby did it? Oh oh man man, And we

478
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.960
thought he was. And it was
so illogical that we just assumed he must

479
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.799
have been. Were like maybe,
because then when he realized he spoiled it,

480
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.319
he was like, well, I'm
just bullshit. It's it's not the

481
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:47.680
baby. So we're like, gonna
be the baby? Is he telling the

482
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.720
truth? I was, Oh,
maybe it is that it is Smith's.

483
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:52.960
For that little period, I was
so sad. But yeah, can you

484
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.319
remember your first spoiler when he was
when something got spoiled for you that you

485
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.839
were so excited for. Whether it
was like so sabotage, we're going on

486
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.400
social media or something like that,
but can you remember a spoiler. That's

487
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.240
a really good point because I mean
I've done it numerous times for wrestling events

488
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:12.079
where I've driven and waited all day
to not watch or gone social media and

489
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.599
then you know, he just But
now it's just nature to bring your phone

490
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:17.799
out of your pocket and you go
on Facebook or whatever, And the first

491
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.599
thing that pops up is the results, like so and so won the title,

492
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:23.759
and I'm like, you fool,
Well, it's thinking like I didn't.

493
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:26.559
I didn't even put my phone out
to go on Facebook. My brain

494
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.000
just did it. It was so
used to doing it now I've done it

495
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.400
so many times. Stuff sabotage.
But can you remember the first spoiler for

496
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.240
you? It's literally going it happened
a bit later than this than your spoiler,

497
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.200
because I mean I was never really
really concerned about it, and I

498
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:42.400
can't recall all that many That sort
of meant a great deal to me.

499
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.519
I mean, I was lucky that
I went into Empire Strikes Back and didn't

500
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.400
know that that must have been so
awesome. That was pretty rad. It

501
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.160
was to experience that with so many
people at the same time would have been

502
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.400
such a cool experience. But here's
the thing. Empire Strikes Back, I

503
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:01.519
think started during school holidays and my
birthday corresponded with it and didn't start in

504
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:09.200
Geelong. But Dad drove me and
my best friend JP up to Melbourne,

505
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.759
so we got like the first screening
on the Thursday that had opened, and

506
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.079
we went to Hoyt Smid City in
Berke Street. And I don't know,

507
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.880
maybe Star Wars wasn't that big a
deal for some people, but we were

508
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.480
like it was a huge cinema.
It felt huge to us because we were

509
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:28.079
a little kids. We're ten or
eleven, yeah, eleven years old,

510
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:32.200
and we were like the cinema.
There was maybe like five or six people

511
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.839
in the cinema. But yeah,
well that was the first screaming, first

512
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:40.839
screening, and yeah, I think
I'm pretty sure. My uncle Darren,

513
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:46.920
he would have been fourteen, fourteen
thirteen when the first movie came out,

514
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:50.720
and he says it was just huge, like Star Wars just absorbed his life.

515
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.839
Like, oh, he said Star
Wars was massive, you know it

516
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:57.000
really was. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it doesn't make sense,

517
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.720
but I'm pretty sure that's how I
recall it. Anyway. I recall because

518
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.759
I bought a little Yoda action figure
in the foyer. I think you've talked

519
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:06.799
about this, and then I lost
it in the cinema, lost it,

520
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:08.960
yeah, and I was like,
what the hell that that was a spoiler

521
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:14.640
that spoiled ship for me, the
first real spoiler I remember. It was

522
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:17.079
actually like the sixth sense. I
got to experience that with Nikola, and

523
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:21.079
she didn't. In the end,
I got to see her see her response

524
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:22.720
that, yeah, that was pretty
cool. But yeah, so you knew

525
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.880
about that going and that's a shame. That's such a cool. Yeah,

526
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:30.359
because everyone was sort of talking about
these early days of the internet, people

527
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:35.319
are talking about, well, just
you know, you should know there's something

528
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:37.880
to happen, there's a twist,
and I'm like, oh, that sounds

529
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:38.799
interesting. Okay, well, I
don't really want to know about that.

530
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:44.960
And then I was reading a related
article. It wasn't a review of the

531
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:46.640
movie or anything like that, but
someone mentioned, oh, by the way,

532
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:51.400
it's like we all know the spoiler
for the sixth sense by now.

533
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:59.480
Yeah. Yeah, but it's like, oh, okay, well that's m

534
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.359
I mean. Then I still saw
the movie, and I was still appreciated

535
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.359
the movie, I thought, but
knowing that I was watching going okay,

536
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:10.559
oh, it's like it's like you
watched the film. Everybody watched it for

537
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:14.679
the second time pretty much. Yeah. I mean, I imagine I would

538
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:19.239
have got at the end like everyone
else. Though. My favorite twist that

539
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:23.440
I remember being in the movies where
everyone was just fucking gobsmacked and like no

540
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:29.119
one saw it coming was sore.
Oh, like Saw one. I won't

541
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:31.000
spoil it for people know it.
I won't. I won't spoil it just

542
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:34.280
in case, you know, just
in case someone that they wants to watch

543
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:36.800
it one day. I know what
it's like. But when that happens at

544
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.039
the very end, remember everyone seen
him, it was gone, oh fuck,

545
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:44.480
look it's so obvious. How do
we not see that? And it

546
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.199
was just it was really cool.
Yeah, and it's just sort of stuck

547
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.760
with me. But I just yeah, this is yeah, this isn't so

548
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.679
much a spoiler, but I do
recall a twist like where I actually went

549
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:58.000
like a crowded cinema. It was
total recal. I'm pretty sure I talked

550
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.199
about it, you know, yeah, don't let's say the actual spoiler.

551
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.519
But yeah, no, this isn't
even an actual spoiler. But it's more

552
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:07.880
like, um, it's a development
where you know, the guy comes in

553
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:10.800
and says, oh, you think
you're having this adventure of Mars, but

554
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:14.960
guess what, you're still in the
chairback at recall and I'm like, wait

555
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:20.920
what, Yeah, I just thought
that was fantastic talking. I'm a sucker

556
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.840
for a good twist, and yeah, let's not spoiling for anybody. Hey

567
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.000
the original airdate of Million Dollars Aby
was April in two thousand and six,

568
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.480
written by Tim Long, directed by
Stephen Dean Moore. Our guest appearance from

569
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:07.639
Rob Ryner and Michael Carrington as the
Jock Center host. Number two chopboard gag

570
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:10.519
was I will not flip the classroom
upside down and it's actually upside down,

571
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:14.079
which I thought was very clever,
and the couch gag. One was the

572
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:15.880
one with the Simpsons family are sitting
down in the couch and it's TiVo,

573
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:21.639
and I was like, tivot wasn't
a thing here, But I don't remember

574
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:23.239
still thing in America. We could
just have like our Fox. Our box

575
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:27.079
just does essentially what TVO would do. But I remember there was a point

576
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.400
in time where being able to record
TV was like such a cool concept where

577
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:32.000
it was no video games. It
was just recorded on your box and you

578
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:35.039
could delete it. But you don't
need it anymore. It was so awesome,

579
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:37.679
don't we called the DVR? Just
did it recording? We did get

580
00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:43.840
Oh my god, the modern world, What a world we live in,

581
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:46.000
What a time to be alive?
Yes, and they says delete the recording

582
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:49.800
and delete the Simpsons. But the
episode kicks up with the family watching TV

583
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.760
and we get a gag about Carmen
Electra and her boobs, and I was

584
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:54.039
like, oh, that's a sign
of two thousand and six. Carmon Electra,

585
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:58.519
I haven't had that name another long
time. She she was like,

586
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.719
and I'll say this with in the
nicest way possible, like gorgeous woman,

587
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:06.400
but she was not going to say
she was almost like the poor Man's Pamela

588
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:10.599
Anderson. That's exactly what I was
thinking when this and those exact words.

589
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:15.480
We folks, we did not collaborate
on this, but yeah, I'm not

590
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:21.119
guessing a lot of people they're probably
way But the fact of it is that

591
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:23.840
we both thought, yeah, Carmon
Electric, nice gal, but the poor

592
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:31.280
Man's Pamela. Pamela kind of cornered
the market on Guru A Ruger, That's

593
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:37.679
yeah, I mean, and yeah, the the exaggerated blonde bomb shelter up

594
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:40.519
and Carmon Electrics going. We couldn't
afford Pamela rans and the Carmans free.

595
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:45.159
Oh yeah, cool, that's fine. Yeah, and she she seemed I

596
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.679
no more racy than Pamela. Pamela
had a sex tape and stuff like that,

597
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:53.159
but carmea elected to see what she'd
be up for. Nathan True.

598
00:37:53.519 --> 00:38:00.360
I'm trying to recall if she was
like a Prince protege, because Prince said

599
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:04.360
this phase where he was like,
yeah, I'll help you get a recording

600
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.840
contract or whatever. The Purple rainstar
dated a bevue Beautiful sales throughout his life,

601
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.599
including Kim Bassenger, Shila E,
and calm An Electra. The relationship

602
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:15.760
came to an end in the early
nineteen nineties. Come and want to live

603
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.320
in la and Prince wanted to stay
in Minnesota. Prince wanted to stay in

604
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:24.480
Minnesota. It's just not what I
expected. He Yet, we build Paisley

605
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:28.599
parkins like I don't need to live, you know, I want to hang

606
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:32.239
around, purify myself in the waters
of Lake Netonka. They're talking about Jock

607
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:37.639
Center here and they're announcing they're going
to have a new football team and they're

608
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.639
looking for a new place to bring
it. And Lesa says, we only

609
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:42.719
known for the place that has the
most heart attacks, and we get a

610
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:45.039
clip of Nelson and Moment having heart
attacks. The home avows to make it

611
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:49.840
happen, and everybody laughs at him, and even Maggie bald Mummy is short

612
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:53.800
to fail. Then a random gag
so cut too like the exterior of the

613
00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:58.800
house, and we hear various sounds
of Homer building is whatever it is,

614
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:00.840
and then there's a sto sort of
payoff for the sounds that we hear.

615
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:07.039
It was odd, yeah, but
here's the thing I mean within that is

616
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.960
kind of like the germ of an
Okay gang, where it's like you hear

617
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:14.400
various sounds of work, and then
you hear the pinball machine. It's like,

618
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.119
I can't be asked work anymore time
to play pinball? But then you

619
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:20.280
have to put a hat on a
hat on a hat with all this?

620
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:22.679
What was the other ship? It
was like European siren and something else.

621
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:28.239
It's always like one too fair.
He's come, that's kind of singing,

622
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.480
yeah, the ringer ring of rosy. Someone's like, yeah, fuck was

623
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:32.079
the point of that? You know? You had a perfectly good joke and

624
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:36.039
ye and yeah, screw it all
up? Why is that happening? Where's

625
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:37.079
that coming from? What's I'm like, what's the payoff going to be for

626
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:42.159
this? Are the reason the payoff? What? What's happening here? But

627
00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:44.800
Marge goes down, she finds Homer
after a week, he's been working on

628
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:46.719
this thing and he's actually put together
a pretty good pitch. He's built the

629
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:51.639
stadium and he's built there, got
the d arama of the players and everything

630
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.199
like that. It's not bad.
Um, No, Homer do good.

631
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:58.559
And he's called the team the Springfield
Meltdowns. The various sponsors of the of

632
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:01.119
the model on the model there,
and he's like Sponsor Sponsor spontsor spontsor a

633
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:06.000
stupid Flanders park and Marge pretty attraction
to me, and she can't believe he's

634
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.199
done all this hard work, so
she pounces on him. But first of

635
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:09.719
all, she says, would you
mind brushing your teeth? And I've got

636
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:13.719
here. Have you ever kissed somebody
who had bad breath? And did you

637
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:15.519
a tell them or be just run
with it because he just really wanted to

638
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.000
kiss them. I'm normally the one
with a bad breath. Yes. Has

639
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.920
any ever told you to brush your
teeth? Kiss them? Oh? Yeah,

640
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:24.039
the love of the weed has many
times. And I'm like, I

641
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:27.920
was gonna it's happened to me once
and I kiss Nick and Nicholas like you

642
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.039
brush your teeth today, and I
was like, oh man, now,

643
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:32.440
breath complex. It's like, yeah, I certainly will from now on.

644
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:37.679
Yeah. No, But I mean
it's one of the things I tend to

645
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:44.119
be fairly conscious of or sensitive about. So usually if I wake up,

646
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:47.199
I'm going to run into the bathroom, you know, do a little plexing

647
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:57.639
so that minty fresh. Yeah,
because you don't want to be hit hitting

648
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:05.760
up your lady love with dragon breath
Oh hi, I'm Rob Reiner, director

649
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:08.400
of When Harry Met Sally. I'll
have what she's having was one of the

650
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:14.639
lines. I'm here to tell you
why you should choose La over Springfield.

651
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:20.440
La has the beach, a thriving
music scene, and the beautiful Getty Museum.

652
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:32.760
Springfield has a pounahasapia pedal on.
Hollywood takes in talented actors and writers

653
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:45.639
from all over the world. Springfield
takes in garbage from other cities. But

654
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:50.199
don't just take my word for it. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars have taken

655
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:53.639
the time to sign waivers, allowing
celebrity impersonators to sing in this video.

656
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:30.119
Enjoy the song a lot even funny, no, no, terrible. But

657
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:34.559
they're going through like a we are
the world Like they do this perfectly in

658
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.760
Radio bart right, it doesn't work
in this one. This one is just

659
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:40.360
what lazy And I don't know if
the lazies this is meant to be the

660
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:44.000
point. It's like, these guys
are no competition and we'll just say they

661
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:46.239
suck, and it goes on and
on and on and on, and then

662
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:50.400
it just gets to them going we
hate La. We weren't gonna get them

663
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.280
a team, and I'm like,
then, why was it down to those

664
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.119
two? Yeah? By the way, one thing I did like about Rob

665
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:02.320
Ryana's guest performance of facing all the
stars on Hollywood Boulevard, even his own

666
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:08.119
dad's by putting Rob over Carl Rhiner
and Rhina over Roblow. Oh it was

667
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:10.840
pretty funny, was Rob blow?
He was back into good books by this

668
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:13.960
point. Wasn't because he had west
Wing and things like that. Yeah,

669
00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.000
the early night, wasn't it.
Yeah, late eighties or early nineties where

670
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:20.119
he sort of went off there because
because it was Prey Wainsbow. Wasn't it

671
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:22.159
because Wainswell was like his comeback?
Wasn't it a little bit of a comeback?

672
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:29.360
Yeah? I mean he in the
in the lifespan of celebrity scandals,

673
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:32.760
his was fairly brief and burned out
fairly quickly. Yeah. The upshot of

674
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:38.239
it was he was at some political
rally and think he had a freeze threesome

675
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:43.239
which was taped with a couple of
young women who turned out to be young

676
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:46.719
women. That's the issue, all
right. Yeah, when I say young,

677
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:52.760
I mean like sixteen, and that's
that's young. And but also they

678
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:55.119
may have been the age of consent
in that particular area, but it's all

679
00:43:55.320 --> 00:44:00.000
still like Rob come on man,
and yeah he was off the radar for

680
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:02.360
a little while, but yeah,
then bounce back. Where do you play

681
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:05.880
in Wayne's World? He was like
that, I forgot the character's name,

682
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:07.679
but he was like the TV exact, wasn't he? The t was it

683
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:09.760
TV exactly? It wasn't he?
Yeah. I have revisited Wayne's World for

684
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:14.079
a long time, and Nicholas never
seen now. So we've got to watch

685
00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:16.360
that movie one day because I used
to love it when I was another teenager.

686
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:19.960
I don't know whether they watching.
They're both not bad. I think

687
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.800
waynes World two was actually pretty good. I've never seen waynes World two.

688
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:24.599
I own, I owned waynes World, I've never watched it. Waynes World

689
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:28.440
two is pretty good, Okay.
I got a bit of a soft spot

690
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:31.559
for I mean a lot of those
SNL movies from the nineties and early two

691
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:35.760
thousands, a junk cone Heads.
I used to like cone Heads when I

692
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:37.639
was a kid. I've never revisited. I'm going to leave it that way

693
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:38.679
because I feel like it's probably a
bad movie, but I used to.

694
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:43.000
I used to like the cone Heads
movie when I was Younger Ladies Man.

695
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:50.199
I didn't mind that there was a
character played by Tim Meadows from Walk Card

696
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:55.559
and Mean Girls. He's basically just
this like pimpy ladies man kind of guy

697
00:44:55.719 --> 00:45:00.519
who has like a late night talking
Talkbauck radio show where he's answering sexy questions

698
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.440
and he's usually like, oh,
yeah, that sounds real sexy. You

699
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.079
will lead it. Oh, I
don't know. They were able to spin

700
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:10.360
a movie out, but it had
musical numbers and everything wasn't too bad.

701
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:15.159
At the Roxbury that was another one. The Roxbury. Um, yeah,

702
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:20.000
they went through a stage where they
all these kind of one note characters got

703
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:23.079
movies. Yeah, it never happens
anymore. I felt. The last person

704
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:27.880
to sort of get anything out of
that was maybe Um Sandberg. He was

705
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.360
sort of the last little SNL started
to sort of break out and do his

706
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:32.199
own thing. Do you think got
his own show? Now? What?

707
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:37.079
He was dating Kardashian recently. What's
his name? Oh, Pete Davidson.

708
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.679
Pete Davidson. But he's probably the
breaker. Kate McKinnon, I guess yeah.

709
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:44.599
I mean a few have gone on
to do other things. I mean,

710
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:47.719
yeah, Kate McKinnon's not unpopular.
She's in the Barbie movie that's coming

711
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:52.159
up. One of one of my
favorites from sl was as a woman called

712
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:58.719
Cecily Strong. She's fantastic, and
she's on a show called Smickadoon on Apple

713
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:01.440
TV's sort of a musical. She's
great. But now that it's not really

714
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:05.760
making the stars the way it used
to. Nah, But we can sume

715
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:07.960
TV differently as well. Now.
I mean I feel like sort of lives

716
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.960
by clips on YouTube as opposed to
people sitting down on a Saturday and all

717
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:15.800
watching s and l at the same
time. Yeah, much like tonight shows.

718
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.800
Yeah exactly. I can't remember the
last time I actually sat down and

719
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.480
watch the full episode of a talk
show when now it's like someone said a

720
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:23.559
little three minute clip on YouTube,
Ill watch that, but I won't sit

721
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:28.559
down and watch the full episode.
But yeah, So they've got the Springfield

722
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:30.400
blow song, which is no good. They all hate them. Maybe at

723
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:32.719
the rich text and saying he's just
he's sad because he has to go tell

724
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:36.280
his gay grandson that he still loves
him even though he's gay, And I

725
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:39.199
was like, what was he sad
to say? I couldn't. It didn't

726
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:42.760
even feel like a gay. Well, he was like, I've gotta go

727
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:45.199
tell my grandson that I love him, even know that he's gay. I'm

728
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.079
okay, Alway says I can go
tell my gay grandson that I still love

729
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.119
him. It was the tone for
me. It was the tone of all

730
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:57.880
his texts, and so he would
be opposed to homosexuality, So of course

731
00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:01.280
that's the thing. I just didn't. It just felt weird, not necessary

732
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:04.960
to me. But then we get
the news report for the announcement. This

733
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.000
is Kent Brockman Alive, a Duff
Beer, Krusty Berger, bos Cola,

734
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:10.559
Costington's department store, Quickie Mark,
Stupid Flanders Park. In just one hour,

735
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:15.000
the Commissioner of Football will arrive to
sign the contracts necessary to make Springfield

736
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:21.559
the home of Pro Football's newest team, The Meltdowns. I've got melt maybe

737
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:25.320
I like dawn syndrome. In honor
of the Commissioner's visit, the city has

738
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:32.280
been repainted in the team colors at
all the streets whimsically renamed Dutchdown Avenue delightful.

739
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:37.480
Who are you talking to your imaginary
girlfriend? No, it isn't your

740
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:45.239
mother a well known how No,
you win this round? Mal, someone's

741
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:47.320
like they have now acknowledged that he
yells at in every episode because the joke

742
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:50.920
is Jimbo saying, who are you
talking to? Dude? Why are you

743
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.280
speakulate this when there's no one else
around? It's like, what are you

744
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:57.599
doing? Yeah, a lot of
these gangs just sort of had extra bits

745
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:01.320
that didn't really add anything or to
tracted from what went beforehands like, yeah,

746
00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:05.199
just cut it off it who are
you talking to? Because if the

747
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:07.440
rebuttal is, isn't your mom a
whore? You in this round? Mal?

748
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:10.960
I'm like, that's the joke.
Come on, that's if that's the

749
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:15.239
page, that's the payoff and the
set up just isn't required in my opinion.

750
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:20.239
Then Bob Armstroump he is late for
the contract signing and he can't find

751
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:22.840
the place because Springfield change all the
street names too. I thought that's I

752
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.440
thought that was okay, that it
makes sense. Yeah, yeah, I

753
00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:30.280
didn't mind that he's late, But
he's batch's died in his phone and his

754
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:34.119
assistant's dead. So he goes to
the Simpsons house and Grandpa's there watching that,

755
00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:36.719
watching Maggie's that what he's watching watching
Maggie's that way he's there. I

756
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:39.360
know he's supposed whatever reason, and
he wants to use the phone slash the

757
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:43.400
bathroom by the way, a quick
nitpick. I know this is usually your

758
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:49.239
area, but they give you an
image of the crowd, Rainy a Wolfcastle

759
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.039
shouldn't be in the crowd is to
be like a corporate box or something.

760
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.559
That's true. Yeah, I'll take
that. Yeah, it's just anyway.

761
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:59.159
But Grandpa he sees the news story
about Snake, and Snake's talking about when

762
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:00.480
he breaks in the people's as he
pretends to used to phae in the bathroom.

763
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:05.920
So Grandpa thinks that the commissioner is
there to try and steal their gold,

764
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:07.559
steal their money, so he hits
him with the golf club. There's

765
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:10.119
had an idea for a gag in
that forty eight minutes thing where it's like

766
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:14.920
we spoke to someone about, you
know, bashing old people over the head

767
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.800
or whatever. Do that thing on
Current Affair shows where you blur out someone's

768
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:21.880
face so you can't see who they
are, but it's Snake's voice. Yeah,

769
00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:23.920
and you just know it. I
was like having to say, like

770
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:29.119
premium or dude, having said do
you know, like how do you know

771
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:31.360
how can you tell? I mean, how can you not tell? There's

772
00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:35.280
a snake? Anyway? Yeah,
hit him with the golf club, and

773
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:37.320
I'm doing what I can to help
you. Simpsons episode You Need It.

774
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:40.480
We cut back to the crowd and
Wigams telling bad Joseph try and store for

775
00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:44.519
time until the commissioner arrives. He's
resigning a poem. I don't know what

776
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:49.800
it is. It's like a poem
about ancient Native Americans or something. Okay.

777
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:52.239
The family then arrived home. They
find the commissioner all tied up and

778
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:58.199
he storms out, and then we
get a really mean, sad line from

779
00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:00.159
Homer. Here he goes, you're
a useless old man, and I'm like

780
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:06.920
that, It's just like, I
don't know that was that was. And

781
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:10.440
because that line was there backed up
with nobody loving him and him resorting to

782
00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:17.559
suicide, what the fuck kind of
morbid shit is this? It was simple,

783
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:21.360
you're useless old man. We left
me with the baby. You left

784
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:22.280
me with a baby. They kind
of end with a gag there, but

785
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:25.960
I just thought you were a useless
old man. There's no jokes there.

786
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:31.960
It's just a real mean spirited line
from that just I don't know didn't work

787
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:37.360
from me. Now you could say
that it's it's valid or that it's necessary

788
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:43.360
for the story in terms of well
it makes Grandpa to press and he thinks

789
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.039
about ending at all. But again, it's a matter of how it's handled,

790
00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:49.719
how it's presented, how it's yea, all that kind of stuff.

791
00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:52.559
But yeah, Grandpa has to feel
low. But yeah, I mean to

792
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:57.079
do it this way, it kind
of feels not so much like, oh

793
00:50:57.119 --> 00:50:59.800
well, this will get us moving
to the next man. That's just something

794
00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:02.480
you don't come back from. Yeah, And then it's just like they would

795
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:06.000
have the argument, Wow, well
Marge told her to call him, but

796
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:08.360
but you got distracted by the phone, you know that the movie survey or

797
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:12.960
whatever it was. And I'm like
yeah, but then no one thought to

798
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.119
go, oh well, let's just
call him up again, you know,

799
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:17.320
like, okay, home, we
got distracted. But where was anyone?

800
00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:21.239
Why why didn't Marge call? And
what didn't lesa go seeing wouldn't like no

801
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.079
one cared about Graham but to the
point where we want to commit suicide and

802
00:51:23.239 --> 00:51:25.480
had the lockers that, had the
law not changed, he'd be dead and

803
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:30.400
they wouldn't have even realized. Very
true. Also, as we said earlier,

804
00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:35.079
you know, it's just a missed
opportunity where Lisa should be the only

805
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:38.360
one who cares about him. So
at the end it feels like it's cause

806
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:43.440
an effect. Yeah, but by
the way, Chief Wiggins is reciting the

807
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:49.199
song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, which is also a name for a

808
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:52.760
part of My Anatomy. I wanted
to also point out that this episode was

809
00:51:52.880 --> 00:52:00.440
rated M in Australia because of the
themes of M Yeah, you would fifteen

810
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:04.440
in the UK. So everyone now
hates Grandpa. Get the montage with John

811
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:06.880
Lennon's Nobody Loves You when You're Down
and Out, which is a great song.

812
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:09.280
Even the Denchers won't smile at Grandpa
anymore. No one likes him.

813
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:13.239
The old Jewish guy arrives and he
spits on him, and then he gives

814
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:16.079
him the card for the euthan Asia
doctor and Grandpa says he wants to grab

815
00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:20.000
a bit of dignity slipping in the
shower and they find him more blood.

816
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:22.280
Just so, I don't know,
it's a different whether he's a human or

817
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:29.639
a couch. Mister Simpson, you
are a good candidate for assisted suicide.

818
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:35.119
I think you're cute too, but
killing yourself isn't as easy as putting on

819
00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:37.719
an ugly sweater like you did today. I want you to carefully think about

820
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:42.599
this for twenty four hours. Oh, I see. You want me to

821
00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:46.559
reconsider whether or not I really should
give up my life. Yeah, and

822
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:50.960
we're cleaning out the death machine today. A lot of gun gets stuck in

823
00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:54.119
it. Grandpa says that he will
decide to live if he gets a phone

824
00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:57.679
call, and Marge told him to
call. He's about to call, but

825
00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:00.840
he gets the movie Sovey the questionnaire
gets distracted, and another whole day goes

826
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:05.159
by, and Grandpa decides he's going
to kill himself because no one has called

827
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:07.559
him and no one likes him anymore. He feels like a useless old man.

828
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:10.079
As Homer puts it. We're now
at the clinic and he says he's

829
00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:14.880
gonna be hooked up to the dipod, which which now is nostalgia because the

830
00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:19.679
iPod isn't a thing anymore. Correct. I remember a news article about Apple

831
00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:22.280
have discontinued the iPod, and I
was like, that's sad. I mean,

832
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:25.400
they're not necessary anymore. They're still
sad. You know, it's still

833
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:30.760
kind of I don't know. I
like them. I like the idea of

834
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:34.679
them. Yeah, but I mean
I know we're all listening to him through

835
00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:36.519
our phones, and it's like,
I like the idea, just a little

836
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:38.960
device, it's just for that unnecessary, but I can understand why people will

837
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:43.639
still have that connection to him because
that's what they've Or even the Mini,

838
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:45.280
I mean I used to like I
had a Mini that I really dug.

839
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:47.679
I hated the minis because you couldn't
have as much. I used to like

840
00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:51.280
having the info. To me,
it was a big deal having like the

841
00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:53.159
album cover and the song information.
I was like, this is like my

842
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:57.519
little collection here in my little in
my pocket. And then I used to

843
00:53:57.519 --> 00:54:00.239
sit there for ages, like updating
the titles and the writers and having the

844
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:04.599
album covers, and there's a big
deal to me. When iPads iPods first

845
00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:07.079
had the color, it was like
whoa, it was like a new world.

846
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:09.039
But just hearing that, you know, the iPods they're gone, I

847
00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:13.960
can imagine it'd be almost like when
you read the article about the VCRs being

848
00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:19.440
discontinued. Yeah, oh absolutely,
and or even d going to JB and

849
00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:22.920
like we were on the Blue Beach. You go j being there, like

850
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:24.280
would you like it free Blue Bay
when you enter the store, and I'm

851
00:54:24.320 --> 00:54:30.280
like, not really actually what they
did, but I'm just like they can't

852
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:31.400
give them away now, you know
what I mean. It's just I mean,

853
00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:37.199
I they had a buy won't get
one free sale and I looked through

854
00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:40.360
everything and I went, there's nothing. There's nothing. The other thing was

855
00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:43.440
I mean, yeah, because I
saw that same thing because we were sort

856
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:45.480
of negotiating that if you want one, I'll go pick yeah, because if

857
00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:49.719
you want one, then you get
one and all that other I found two

858
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:53.800
that I wanted and it was like
not available for clicking collecting your local stores.

859
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:57.280
I want to pay for posts.
I'm what's the point. I'm like,

860
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:00.719
how a bad fuck you? Yeah. I'm like, I'm not saving

861
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:05.480
anything because I'm gonna be posting it
anyway. Yeah, so god, hell

862
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:10.239
yeah. It's like they've they don't
stop. But I'm not happy they don't

863
00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:14.679
stock their stores anymore with like older, older films, And I'm like,

864
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:19.880
I know you can. It's happening. Like we're on the right track.

865
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.920
We're on the track now. They
will be gone soon. You do realize

866
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:25.159
this like, I think we have
both both have to accept physical media will

867
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:31.559
be gone. And the next time, the other day we lost our Telsia

868
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:35.480
fucked up our internet and we couldn't
get internet right, We couldn't stream anything.

869
00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:37.079
And Eliot's like, I want to
watch Space Jam. I'm like,

870
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:42.000
we can't make it. We can't
because fucking Netflix isn't working. I'm sorry

871
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:44.159
like that, He's like, we
make it work. I'm like, it

872
00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:46.000
doesn't work. I want to watch
Space Jam. And then and then he

873
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:50.239
just goes put the disc in.
I was like, wait a minute,

874
00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:54.639
what an idea? That is?
This novel concept of putting a fucking movie

875
00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:59.559
in the displayer and actually playing the
movie. I never would have thought of

876
00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:02.559
that one. Well done sim wisdom
from the mouths of Babes. I was

877
00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:06.719
like, all this argument could have
been sold if I just went to the

878
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:09.239
shelf with the four K and Space
Jam and put it in the machine.

879
00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:13.159
But the idea of all of us
not. If I can't get Netflix,

880
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:15.239
then I can't watch it. It's
like they've because they've they've converted me.

881
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:20.199
I'm like, wait a minute,
it's there. I owned the movie.

882
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:22.599
Why do I care if Netflix has
it? Or not. And then I

883
00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:24.159
put it in. I was like, Wow, it's clearer. I can

884
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:32.519
skip chapters, the trailers and everything. That's right. There was something novel

885
00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:36.360
about putting it in and just getting
the menu. I was like, oh,

886
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:44.639
menus, I remember these special features
audio coming Terry's music videos from songs

887
00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:50.199
in the film. We never had
it so good and put it on.

888
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:52.679
We'll putting it on and Alliott's going
through and he goes, what's that one.

889
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:54.239
I'm like, that's the film clip
for the for the Bad Guys song.

890
00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:57.360
And he goes, put it on. He watched that film clip.

891
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:00.719
I'm like, repeat for like ten
fifteen minutes three times in a row.

892
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:04.800
The the idea of a music video. He was like what is this?

893
00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:07.320
Like what what? And I was
like, oh yeah, music videos don't

894
00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:09.039
really thing anymore, like they are
on YouTube. But like I don't think

895
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:12.440
people go out of their way to
watch music videos any what that is like

896
00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:15.559
streamed the song on Spotify, you
know, let's reconci how often do you

897
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:17.400
watch the videos on YouTube? You
know what I mean? Unless it's like

898
00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:21.480
an old one. But growing up, it was if you wanted to hear

899
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:23.239
the song, unless it was on
the radio. You had to wait for

900
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:28.719
it to the music video on Yeah, on Smash Hits or yeah whatever it

901
00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:32.880
was video hits, video hits,
or as I watched it, as I

902
00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:40.800
evolved to a mature teenager or preteen
rage Rage like the Rage Top fifty was

903
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:47.360
awesome because it was noahds and it
was uncut, so you had the swearing.

904
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:51.840
But they played the full music video
and the full music video that I

905
00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:53.320
remember watching, obviously you would have
been like Thriller or something, right,

906
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:57.159
but the Backstreet Boys is gonna sound
silly, I know. But the Backstreet

907
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:01.760
Boys had a video for that ever
a Bard Yeah that song, which is

908
00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:06.239
like Thriller and it's all monsters and
ships. Yeah yeah, like universal monsters.

909
00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:08.679
Right. But there was like a
two minute interlude of them arriving at

910
00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:12.920
the Haunted Mansion and then being going
to bed and being all spoot and going

911
00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:15.880
I know about this place, man, And then then they wake up and

912
00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:19.360
they are they are the monsters,
right, and that the start and that's

913
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:21.719
when they wake up. That's when
the show's up. Video hits were just

914
00:58:21.760 --> 00:58:24.679
cuts them going every Bard already in
their monster form. But it's like a

915
00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:29.239
two minute thing that's set up and
they're becoming the monsters, and then after

916
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:31.639
the song's finished, there was like
a two minutes afterwards where they're like turned

917
00:58:31.639 --> 00:58:35.159
back into people again, like they
wake up from their dream. And I'm

918
00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:37.320
like, you would only get that
if you watched it on Rage, So

919
00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:40.239
it was like it was a big
deal to see the full clip. Yeah.

920
00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:45.400
The funniest thing that happened on Rage
as well was they'd get international artists

921
00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:47.039
who are touring or whatever. It's
like, come on and program Rage and

922
00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:52.199
can play any videos. You're like, yeah, and everyone always played this

923
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:57.079
song called Window Liquor by Aphex Twin
because the video was banned everywhere else in

924
00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:02.360
the world. It's necessarily violent or
sexy and everything like that. It's kind

925
00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:07.800
of sexy comes but it's just disturbing. It's got some really like weird imagery

926
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:12.239
because afx twin his sort of logo
as this mask that's sort of like grinning

927
00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:16.920
Joker mask, and it's got all
these women in skimpy bikinis being sort of

928
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:21.360
hosed down and shaking their butts in
slow motion, but they've all got the

929
00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:25.239
smiley face on and it's kind of
like, this is weird. That's infesting

930
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:30.320
my dreams. But everyone who who
came in from overseass like you can play

931
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:37.920
us on TV. We're programming that. That was great, but we were

932
00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:42.159
now returning you to million dollars AB
already in progress. But yeah, I

933
00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:45.639
was will say everyone hates Grandpa's that
the clinic's hooked up to the diapod.

934
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:47.360
That's right. He wants the Glenmill
Orchestra. Let's just skim through this piece

935
00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:52.440
of shit, man. Yeah,
he wants to see hear the music,

936
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:55.000
and watch videos of cops beating up
hippies. Then the cops enter with one

937
00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:59.360
minute to go before he's about to
die, and the sister's suicide law has

938
00:59:59.360 --> 01:00:01.079
been overturned. Her grandpa wikes off, thinks that he's dead. He's running

939
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:05.880
through the streets and in his gown
and he says he doesn't know whether he's

940
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:08.079
in heaven and hell, and he
says, Hanburger heaven and Charlie chaplain.

941
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:12.119
He thinks he's in heaven as well, and he walks into Luigi's for whatever,

942
01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:19.639
raising the family just happened to be
there. What you're all dead too?

943
01:00:20.159 --> 01:00:22.480
So who went berserk? That's so? Were the little guy run out

944
01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:28.039
dead? And matter a year,
I'm not. I guess if you want

945
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:32.519
to commit suicide around here, you
gotta do it yourself. So sad gap

946
01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:37.559
killing yourself as a sin, but
not just to die of old age after

947
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:44.280
years of pain and reduced mobility.
I ain't gonna kill myself because I just

948
01:00:44.719 --> 01:00:52.400
learned something. The brief time I
thought I was dead was the happiest I've

949
01:00:52.440 --> 01:00:58.159
ever been because I was finally living
without fear and Dad never Dead's the way

950
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:01.159
I'm gonna live the rest of my
life after years of pain and an immability.

951
01:01:01.159 --> 01:01:04.480
And I was like, that's a
good lie. I appreciate that one.

952
01:01:04.519 --> 01:01:07.320
That's the kind of thing that's irrelevant
to this episode. Yeah, yeah,

953
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:09.920
yeah, yeah exactly. And then
Grandpa, this whole story should have

954
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:14.079
been about euthanasia. That's that's the
thing. Got set up about the football

955
01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:16.440
team, and then have the batter
or at the end, it's like the

956
01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:21.039
only then is only about five minutes
of this actual episode. It's crazy to

957
01:01:21.119 --> 01:01:25.199
think that such a such a hot
topic was barely in this episode at all.

958
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:30.079
But we're now at the wet to
come to the point where Grandpa said

959
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:31.920
he's gone to live without any fear. You know, the moment where I

960
01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:35.440
thought I was dead was where I
was just happy and I wasn't worried.

961
01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:38.519
We had a montage of him sort
of living life on to the extreme,

962
01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:43.119
but as an old person, like
using the other saltwater taffy and skateboarding on

963
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:46.000
but any two things saltwater taffy and
skateboard on his scooters, you're all going

964
01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:49.880
to die in a pointless war.
There was one thing here that made me

965
01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:53.079
sad was the exterior of the supermarket
has been updated. It used to always

966
01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:55.760
be that old supermarket with the trolley
rolling out of the out of the young

967
01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:59.639
car park, but it was as
a different design now. It was like

968
01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:01.880
ally when you look at nineties McDonald's
stores and you look at modern stores.

969
01:02:01.880 --> 01:02:07.679
It made me sad. But when
now at the town hall meeting there thinking

970
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:09.679
of ideas for the stadium now because
they've spent all this money on a stadium

971
01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:13.360
now they've got no use for it, no use for it. This giant

972
01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:15.800
stadium, there's no use for it. We didn't we have that recently where

973
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:20.679
it was we have no use for
this orchestra with some Yeah, it's a

974
01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:22.559
music hall that we built. It's
right, yeah, I'm pretty sure you

975
01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:28.519
just rehashed the same story. Literally
now I must admit I've forgotten, so

976
01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:30.880
I've written, who's the Spaniard?
Is here the guy from the people that

977
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:34.599
had all the different movie jackets?
Yeah? Yeah, it's planning a Hollywood

978
01:02:34.639 --> 01:02:37.400
jacket guy. Yeah yeah, but
only only twig because I saw the plane

979
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:38.840
a Hollywood jacket and I'm like,
oh, ok AD's that guy? Of

980
01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:42.599
all the people, you could bring
back this guy. I feel that the

981
01:02:42.679 --> 01:02:45.440
design is kind of different with him. Started with him quite it looked it

982
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:47.559
kind of looked like him, but
it didn't as well at the same time.

983
01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:52.400
But they they he suggests bullfighting,
they all say, oh, they

984
01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:54.639
need a matador, and Grandpa's like, oh, do it. And then

985
01:02:54.679 --> 01:03:00.760
I'm like, okay, why that's
your way of living after the fullest?

986
01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:01.840
Is it? I don't know,
It's just isn't it a death wish?

987
01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:07.159
Being a bullfighter? Anyway? And
like the it's the thing. I guess

988
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:08.840
the family didn't want him to the
family that want into it was Is it

989
01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:14.199
just Lisa did did we see margin
Homer protest against it to say don't do

990
01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:16.599
it, it's too dangerous. Not
that I recall, no so that the

991
01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:21.760
whole point of them being annoyed that
he was can't commit suicides, it seems.

992
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:24.559
And this is the thing. Not
once in that scene where he said,

993
01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:29.000
you want to commit suicide, did
they say you can't do that because

994
01:03:29.079 --> 01:03:30.840
we love you. It was you
can't do it because God doesn't want you

995
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:36.519
to, So that they didn't even
they didn't even have them say that they

996
01:03:36.679 --> 01:03:38.679
love him in that moment. Yeah, this is an opportunity for you to

997
01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:44.360
do that kind of thing, to
reinforce the and the and have the family

998
01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:45.519
realize, oh my god, we
are not showing this man the love that

999
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:49.599
he needs. You know, they
just fopped it off, like you can't

1000
01:03:49.679 --> 01:03:55.719
kill yourself. God doesn't want you
to anyway. So Granba was now practicing

1001
01:03:55.760 --> 01:04:00.000
the bullfight and he was Bart,
sorry, see the mat off thing and

1002
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:02.760
with the red flag, and Bart
goes past home and finds a penny,

1003
01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:04.480
bends over. You think he's gonna
get a horn in the bum, but

1004
01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:09.039
he gets it in the crutch out. We're now at the first fight and

1005
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:13.239
Lisa is at the front protesting because
you know who cares about grab By killing

1006
01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:15.480
himself, But those bulls, he
can't kill those bulls, you know,

1007
01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:17.599
Carlin Lenny. They compliment her,
singing, He's going to bring it the

1008
01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:21.000
bull's heart, and Grandpa's all dressed
up and marches, yeah, you know,

1009
01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:24.119
he looks. He looks pretty good, all dressed up in the in

1010
01:04:24.199 --> 01:04:28.199
the outfit. Then the bull just
roundly gets tired and falls down in front

1011
01:04:28.199 --> 01:04:30.880
of it. Is this how bullfights
go? I've never I've never actually watched

1012
01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:32.920
one. I just don't want I
don't want to. I don't want to

1013
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:39.239
watch the only well, the main
thing that I remember about bullfights is there

1014
01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:45.159
was there's great memorable or viral moment
where a Matt at Door just sort of

1015
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:48.280
realized halfway through a bullfight that he
was like, you know what, fuck

1016
01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:54.440
this, this kind of sucks,
and he just stops and he goes and

1017
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:57.239
sits down, and actually he's sort
of I mean, it's one of those

1018
01:04:57.280 --> 01:04:59.719
things where it's like this image can
mean anything, but it was like this

1019
01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:02.280
guy I was crying because he realizes, oh god, I'm just here to

1020
01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:05.760
kill this ball for no reason.
And you know, you seem sort of

1021
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:09.039
leaning against the woman, just feeling
ashamed of himself or whatever. It's like,

1022
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:13.519
I mean, that's kind of moving
and poignan or whatever. But yeah,

1023
01:05:13.639 --> 01:05:16.400
unlike this episode, which is neither
of those things. No. Then

1024
01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:20.320
yet the shot with the ball looking
up sad and broken and tired, and

1025
01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:24.840
Grandpa lifts up the knife and you
think what was he going to do?

1026
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:27.400
And he comes down and it cuts
away to Lisa, and I'm like,

1027
01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:30.519
okay, so what the grand But
I actually do I know? The ball

1028
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:33.039
just got killed. That's a line
that I feel that Simpsons have never crossed

1029
01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:36.039
shore. We see the animals getting
killed and things like that, but for

1030
01:05:36.119 --> 01:05:41.519
it to be handled in this way, it just felt so wrong. It

1031
01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:45.000
just felt so Unsimpson, Like,
didn't it It just felt so I don't

1032
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.800
know, I just I didn't.
I didn't like it. Yeah, and

1033
01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:53.400
this is not to say there's not
room for quote unquote dramatic moments or poignant

1034
01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:57.119
moments in a Simpson episode, but
yeah, this one just felt kind of

1035
01:05:57.920 --> 01:06:01.079
awkward and weird and not mean spirits
a bit a little bit cruel, A

1036
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:05.480
pointless death in a pointless episode.
Yeah. Yeah, although I must admit

1037
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:11.159
the old man beats meadline was not
unfunny. Yeah, it was funny,

1038
01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:13.760
of course, but that's where I
went, Oh, he actually did it,

1039
01:06:14.119 --> 01:06:16.679
so Lisa. Then Lisa goes to
see him and she says, and

1040
01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:18.920
he says, I've got to do
this because people are now cheering for me.

1041
01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:23.079
I was always cheering for you,
Grandpa. And I'm like, no,

1042
01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:27.840
was she though? Tim? Tim, Tim, do you remember did

1043
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:30.800
you cut something out of the script
that we're forgetting to that we didn't see

1044
01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:33.800
here, because I'm pretty sure we
never once saw Lisa show any form of

1045
01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:40.480
empathy towards Grandpa. She was showing
some empathy towards other bulls, Grandpa not

1046
01:06:40.599 --> 01:06:43.039
so much. But now which want
to get her own way. Suddenly she

1047
01:06:43.119 --> 01:06:45.679
shown him everything. She she trying
to lay the guilt trip, saying,

1048
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.199
I was always cheering for you.
Give me one example, buddy, one

1049
01:06:48.280 --> 01:06:53.360
example down built exactly the same face
as though in that name was like is

1050
01:06:53.400 --> 01:06:58.000
he though, yeah, it's not
exactly the same face. Seriously, it's

1051
01:06:58.039 --> 01:07:00.719
just terrible the way this was handed. And the next fight, Grandpa he

1052
01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:04.360
seems distracted, and then he releases
the balls. He sees the light,

1053
01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:08.360
he sees the positives and situation.
He's like, no, this can't happen.

1054
01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:11.840
This is ridiculous. Let's all the
balls out. And then this is

1055
01:07:11.880 --> 01:07:15.400
like, I guess Grandpa sat them
all free. Why would you think that?

1056
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:20.639
What made it think that? Anyway? But then I did like the

1057
01:07:20.920 --> 01:07:24.320
ball getting on the elevator and going
up to see the guy in the commentator

1058
01:07:24.320 --> 01:07:30.199
of Booth's stupid but funny. And
then they take out gil Luigi was taking

1059
01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:33.039
that as well. He's Luis's walking
around with some fresh veal. And then

1060
01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:38.239
Grandpa and Lisa are just randomly floating
in chairs with balloons. I missed that,

1061
01:07:38.280 --> 01:07:40.679
but did By the way, did
you catch the there was a swartzwelder

1062
01:07:40.840 --> 01:07:42.719
cameo? No, I didn't see
that. Where was he? Oh,

1063
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:45.280
there's a running sort of the balls
the ball tore chasing people down the street.

1064
01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:46.880
And I'm pretty sure he's on the
left with the long hair and the

1065
01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:49.920
hat and the glasses. Okay,
did you not see the end of with

1066
01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:54.000
Lisa and Grandpa and the sky with
the balloons in the chair the end of

1067
01:07:54.000 --> 01:07:56.480
the episode. I must have missed
that. I don't How did I miss

1068
01:07:56.519 --> 01:07:59.320
that? At the very end,
Grandpa and Lisa were up in the sky

1069
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:01.760
on chairs with balloons, much like
the up house. And then the bulls

1070
01:08:01.800 --> 01:08:04.559
float up with balloons as well,
and he goes, oh, did you

1071
01:08:04.599 --> 01:08:06.920
not see the end of the episode. I honestly don't recall that, and

1072
01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:10.400
I'm sure I watch the episode because
I went to the Yeah, because I

1073
01:08:10.480 --> 01:08:14.639
saw I saw the bit over the
closing credits with him and like um testifying

1074
01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:16.720
at the anti communist hearings. How
did I miss that bit? It must

1075
01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:19.359
have been paying attention. Yeah,
so, and with Grandpa and Lisa in

1076
01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:24.800
the sky sitting on a like chairs
with balloons attached to floating in the sky,

1077
01:08:24.840 --> 01:08:27.239
and He'll be like, ah,
thanks Grandpa for finally doing this,

1078
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:30.399
and then bulls float up in the
sky with angry faces on balloons, and

1079
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:34.199
Grandpa's like, oh, Dan,
I assure you I watched this episode.

1080
01:08:34.239 --> 01:08:39.960
I think the fact that I've point
it out, you know, beats from

1081
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:43.039
this episode would indicate that I had. I honestly don't remember that, and

1082
01:08:43.079 --> 01:08:45.399
I watched it not that long ago. What the hell was going on?

1083
01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:48.840
Did you? What? Did you
watch it on Disney Plants or on the

1084
01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:51.920
discs or Disney Plus? Yeah,
Okay, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go

1085
01:08:53.039 --> 01:08:58.439
back and rewatch it on Disney Plants
or rewatch the last bit because that bit.

1086
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:01.119
Honestly, I do not recall.
But the bit of the credits was

1087
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:03.720
just where was that from? That? Did I miss something? It's like,

1088
01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:08.199
that's not no relation to this episode. I don't think so, I'm

1089
01:09:08.199 --> 01:09:10.640
like at all, where would this
a fit in? I don't get it.

1090
01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:14.680
Yeah, it's got no relevance and
no relation to anything that happens in

1091
01:09:14.760 --> 01:09:17.600
this episode. This was such a
bizarre episode. This was so weird.

1092
01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:25.039
Yeah, and so not good.
No, so not good? Sound good?

1093
01:09:26.439 --> 01:09:29.039
That was? That was? That
was? Yeah, I don't know,

1094
01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:34.079
I fail on the Simpsons part.
This maybe maybe drum me if you

1095
01:09:34.159 --> 01:09:38.359
will, maybe in my top ten
worst episodes I've seen to date doing this

1096
01:09:38.439 --> 01:09:43.199
podcast pretty bad, it's no good. I'm gonna say, I'm going to

1097
01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:47.439
agree with you. It's yeah,
it was unnecessarily pointless and morbid and yeah

1098
01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:50.640
from a joke, Yeah, from
a joke perspective and a human perspective and

1099
01:09:50.640 --> 01:09:55.000
all the kinds like, no,
it failed quite miserably. Yeah, but

1100
01:09:55.119 --> 01:09:57.800
in other terms, it's like,
yeah, you had something you could do

1101
01:09:57.880 --> 01:10:00.159
here, but you did it all
wrong and just all over the shop like

1102
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:09.079
a bloody mad dog shit, a
mad dog shit from this knee forward your

1103
01:10:09.239 --> 01:10:12.079
name, droll me okay, mister
Davis, it is time for the new

1104
01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:16.159
name championship here for season seventeen million
dollars abe. The current leaderboard stands at

1105
01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:20.920
this In first position we have Luke
mcalon thirteen points. In second position we

1106
01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:26.279
have Adam Moorehouse on ten points,
and in third position we have Kyle Muldoon

1107
01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:30.520
and Garrod Harrowhill both on nine points. So hit me, what are the

1108
01:10:30.640 --> 01:10:34.680
one two three four this week?
Oh? Are we doing four points as

1109
01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:38.239
well? One two three four this
week? Oh? My goodness, hand

1110
01:10:38.279 --> 01:10:41.960
me confused for a second. That's
but let's keep it to one two three

1111
01:10:42.079 --> 01:10:47.399
old gold, silver and bronze and
one point goes to matter dope, matter

1112
01:10:47.479 --> 01:10:50.600
dough. That is from Justin Williams. Now. Is that Justin's first time

1113
01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:54.680
on the leaderboard. I don't know
whether it is. No, Justin is

1114
01:10:54.720 --> 01:10:57.560
now on three points. Why I'm
Justin? That name sounded none for me

1115
01:10:57.640 --> 01:11:00.439
to me. Well done, Justin, welcome to the league. Yeah,

1116
01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:08.039
nice work. Two points for Aging
Bull. Oh that's awesome. That is

1117
01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:11.439
a great title. Of course,
it's from a man. Mark Boston Burgess

1118
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:15.520
Point is wearing that leader board as
well. Mark Boston now on six points,

1119
01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:18.000
halfway, there's a first position.
You're halfway their buddy, well done,

1120
01:11:18.079 --> 01:11:26.239
well downe Mark Boston Burgess. But
three points for signor citizen signior citizen.

1121
01:11:26.520 --> 01:11:31.199
That's actually even better and that is
from one Heath Appleby Wow, that's

1122
01:11:31.560 --> 01:11:34.199
Heath. Oh not quite first,
So okay. So Luke McKay is still

1123
01:11:34.199 --> 01:11:39.319
in first position thirteen points, but
that now means with Heath getting that three

1124
01:11:39.359 --> 01:11:43.239
points, Heath is now tied for
second position on ten points, with Adam

1125
01:11:43.279 --> 01:11:46.159
Moorhouse and Garrod and Kyle still just
one point behind them on nine. So

1126
01:11:46.239 --> 01:11:49.600
it's a two weight. It's a
tie for second and tie for third as

1127
01:11:49.640 --> 01:11:53.880
well. Oh, very nice.
How do you like them? Applebee's very

1128
01:11:54.000 --> 01:12:00.279
good stuff? Deail here? All
right? First question it comes from you've

1129
01:12:00.359 --> 01:12:04.079
guessed at Andrew JP. Andrew says, if you could have any sporting team

1130
01:12:04.199 --> 01:12:08.840
join an existing competition, who were
to be and in what competition? I'd

1131
01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:12.960
love to see the a Canberra team
in either the BBL or the NBL.

1132
01:12:13.199 --> 01:12:16.239
So who won't a Gelong team in, assuming that they would be a half

1133
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:20.319
decent. Well, I'm at last
just been getting back into the Supercats because

1134
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:24.399
he loves basketball. Alliott Oh Yeah, So I've been out to Supercats games

1135
01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:26.560
and things like that, so I'm
sort of like starting to follow the NBL

1136
01:12:26.600 --> 01:12:30.640
a bit more again. Um,
but so we already have an MBL team

1137
01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:33.000
them and in the NBA would be
pretty cool, but obviously that's not going

1138
01:12:33.039 --> 01:12:36.680
to happen. We're kind of got
a cricket team with the who is it

1139
01:12:36.840 --> 01:12:42.760
that the it's the Red BBL team, It's Melbourne. It's a Melbourne team,

1140
01:12:42.800 --> 01:12:45.000
but they basically like associated with because
there's two Melbourne teams and one of

1141
01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:47.479
them is associated with Geelong. You
know what I'm talking? Who are they?

1142
01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:50.600
I don't follow cricket enough to be
able to I don't have a single

1143
01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:55.760
solidary cloth. Yeah, we have
a melbourn team that's associated with Gelong,

1144
01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:57.520
so we're kind of got to geln
team. I don't know what about you,

1145
01:12:57.640 --> 01:12:59.880
like, what's what's sports? What
sports are you into? Besides AF

1146
01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:03.399
I was quite into basketball for a
while. I mean, the Supercats had

1147
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:10.640
a real moment the son back in
the back in the eighties, and the

1148
01:13:10.760 --> 01:13:15.680
late great Bobby Davis, My father
was associated with him to some degree.

1149
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:18.439
He was he was very close with
a guy who was sort of a bit

1150
01:13:18.439 --> 01:13:21.720
of a power breaker with Gelong basketball
such as it was, so we'd go

1151
01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:26.600
to a lot of games, got
to hang out with some of the players.

1152
01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:30.079
The great Cal Bruton he was He
wasn't a tall guy, but he

1153
01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:33.920
was a fucking fantastic baller. He
was really, really good. There was

1154
01:13:33.920 --> 01:13:38.359
a guy called James Coroford. It
was fantastic and a huge white dude.

1155
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:44.680
These were all American guys. These
are all imports named Jim Town and Jim

1156
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:46.880
I got along famously for some reason. I mean, he was looking back

1157
01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:49.239
and he was probably only in his
early twenties or the thing. He's probably

1158
01:13:49.239 --> 01:13:51.760
fresh out of college. And I
was his little weakness, little um,

1159
01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:55.920
you know, teenage kid who was
probably came up to about his kneecout.

1160
01:13:56.039 --> 01:13:57.920
But I used to give him shit
all the time. For some reason.

1161
01:13:58.159 --> 01:14:02.479
I did just figured that I'm not
not in a sort of a snarky way,

1162
01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:04.479
but I'd tease him a bit.
I know, for some reason.

1163
01:14:04.600 --> 01:14:08.439
Have you ever met someone you just
know you can take the piss out of

1164
01:14:08.479 --> 01:14:11.239
them and they'll kind of dig it, or you know, you can get

1165
01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:14.800
up yeah, and then sometimes sometimes
you take it that a little bit too

1166
01:14:14.840 --> 01:14:17.520
far and you're like, ah man, and then you get picked up and

1167
01:14:17.560 --> 01:14:20.760
putting a bin. Yeah, I
don't know that that didn't. You're supposed

1168
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:27.560
to be cool. Man's supposed to
take This is all I got, man,

1169
01:14:27.640 --> 01:14:32.199
this is all feelings. But no, I mean I used to go

1170
01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:34.479
to see the Supercats all the time
and I thought they were fantastic. So

1171
01:14:34.760 --> 01:14:40.079
um, all due respect to the
current Supercats, I'm sorry, I'm not

1172
01:14:40.119 --> 01:14:43.760
really paying much attention to your prow
West, but I think it'd be great

1173
01:14:43.760 --> 01:14:45.920
if Gelong basketball got a bit more
of a resurgence. Yes, one hundred

1174
01:14:45.960 --> 01:14:48.680
percent, because it needs to,
because you go to games and like they're

1175
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:51.840
playing okay, the super Cats,
but and you think, like Geelong,

1176
01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:55.720
how do we not have a team
that's more importantly? You feel like when

1177
01:14:55.720 --> 01:14:58.840
you're in Geelong, it's all about
the football team. You very rarely see

1178
01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:01.520
the super Cat per murdered anyway anymore. Used to be like giant billboards over

1179
01:15:01.560 --> 01:15:04.680
to roundtown the super Cats, and
it's like you wouldn't even know that we

1180
01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:08.159
even have a team anymore. I
feel like we're just walking around town and

1181
01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:10.800
things like that. It's really weird. But what would do one more question?

1182
01:15:10.840 --> 01:15:15.239
Because' been going really long in this
episode. This one here is focused

1183
01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:17.640
Jeffs. Do you have any funny
or embarrassing sports stories from days gone by?

1184
01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:21.439
Have any funny stories from going to
the footy with your dad or anything

1185
01:15:21.520 --> 01:15:29.560
like that. I didn't really go
all that often, although I remember when

1186
01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:32.600
I was very very young. I
don't know why this guy, but I

1187
01:15:32.680 --> 01:15:36.319
was with my sister ed ween and
she's the one closest to me in age,

1188
01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:40.840
and we were in the outer.
It's good, good to be in

1189
01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:44.079
the outer every once in a while. For some reason, some guy was

1190
01:15:44.199 --> 01:15:48.439
dissing our dad. I don't know
why. I mean, Dad wasn't really

1191
01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:51.800
involved. He wasn't playing. Oh
he wouldn't been playing well, no,

1192
01:15:51.920 --> 01:15:56.520
I mean I was born after he
started. He finished coaching a little.

1193
01:15:58.279 --> 01:16:00.880
But for some reason, yeah,
I think he Maybe Dad was on the

1194
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:02.720
radio or something on three g L, the home of home of football,

1195
01:16:03.439 --> 01:16:09.359
and yes, guy said something when
it was not backwards back, that's our

1196
01:16:09.439 --> 01:16:15.720
dad you're talking about. I'm sorry, kids, I've made a girl man

1197
01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:24.199
cry so but embarrassing sports serves myself
and look, I'm sure i've got some.

1198
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:28.760
I mean, just you know,
general fuck ups from when you think

1199
01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:32.199
you should you'd be trying to look
sort of cool or proficient in what you're

1200
01:16:32.239 --> 01:16:34.239
doing, and said, you just
mess up. I used to row,

1201
01:16:34.720 --> 01:16:38.520
you know, like you've said this
before. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1202
01:16:38.720 --> 01:16:42.159
And the worst thing that can happen
when you row is then called catching a

1203
01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:48.199
crab. When you're you're putting your
raw forward and it gets caught in the

1204
01:16:48.279 --> 01:16:50.760
water and sort of comes reverbing back
at you and it hits you in the

1205
01:16:50.840 --> 01:16:54.239
ribs and it can just you know, it sucks up your whole race.

1206
01:16:55.039 --> 01:16:57.760
It fucks you up. And yeah, that happened to me once. It

1207
01:16:57.800 --> 01:17:00.760
almost knocked me out of the boat. It was just why is it called

1208
01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:05.039
catching crab? Where's the relation to
crabs? Um? It's like you you

1209
01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:09.159
all goes in a bit too deep
and you can't get it out in time.

1210
01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:13.319
Okay, I'm just thinking someone's just
thrown crabs it, Yeah, don't

1211
01:17:13.359 --> 01:17:17.760
catch them. They probably should do
that. Yeah, I want to break

1212
01:17:17.800 --> 01:17:23.840
position cheese kind of like bombardment,
but just crabs. I M I broke

1213
01:17:23.920 --> 01:17:27.800
my wrist once playing football and remember
when I was on the ground, it

1214
01:17:27.920 --> 01:17:30.479
was like under fourteen, So like
you're at that age where you know you're

1215
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:32.840
not an adult, but you kind
of feel like you're a grown up.

1216
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:36.520
You know. I'm fourteen now.
Anyway, I broken wrists. I remember

1217
01:17:36.560 --> 01:17:41.359
my mom yell at my boys hurt, and I was like, oh no,

1218
01:17:41.520 --> 01:17:44.039
Mom, don't do it. And
and then I had this guy say

1219
01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:46.600
you can't go out in the ground. Man, you cannot go out in

1220
01:17:46.640 --> 01:17:48.880
the ground. And I remember just
laying on the ground here and my mom

1221
01:17:49.039 --> 01:17:53.840
going, you can't stop me from
getting to my son. And Mom just

1222
01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:55.880
like ran out in the field.
The game had to stop, and I'm

1223
01:17:55.880 --> 01:18:00.239
like, oh my god, obviously
had a broken wrist. But I was

1224
01:18:00.279 --> 01:18:01.640
just like coming off. Mum's like
walking off with me. I'm just like,

1225
01:18:01.720 --> 01:18:05.479
Ohm, leave me alone. I'm
like walking off the ground. She's

1226
01:18:05.520 --> 01:18:10.359
walking me off the ground, my
mum. Your mom's like mel Gibson the

1227
01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:15.399
ransom, give me my alrighty,
Well, that is a mailbag four million

1228
01:18:15.479 --> 01:18:18.079
dollars. Abe. As you said, guys, this was not a great

1229
01:18:18.119 --> 01:18:20.680
episode. Even when we go back
and went through it all usually gets a

1230
01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:23.800
little bit better. No, I
think this one might have got worse.

1231
01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:26.600

at all. But we'd love to hear
