dared to hope, but you shattered my dreams like a toff tall boy in
a bar brawl, and you jammed a jagged neck right up my heart spot.
I guess I just wasn't meant to be happy, or handsome or anything.
Really, what a deep tormented soul. Four Finger Discount dude. Welcome
to forfigure this gap, the podcast where we're all a little bit touched in
the head. This week where hits review episode h b F one nine.
It is mon Lisa, I am Dando and I am guy, and yes,
it's pleasure to be talking about an episode that is slightly better than the
previous episode Gi Doe, which neither Dan Do or I enjoyed all that much.
This one I kind of enjoyed a bit. Yeah, well, when
you think about how bad last ones was, it would have to be pretty
horrific to get worse than that. This last week was an absolute, absolute
shit show. Was a gi annoyed grunt GI dope the official say annoyed grunt?
I really do. I think that's a shitty gimmick that I will not
play into it. Okay, yes, but yeah that was That was not
good last week, but thankfully this week was. It was definitely much much
better. I there's something about Mo right. I feel like, as a
kid, I didn't really appreciate Mo. He's just this grumbly old man.
The older I get, the more I relate to him, I feel like,
what did I write down? The more life beats you down, the
more you relate to Mo most like he's the guy who represents that part of
you, which, whether you want to admit to it or not, is
a small part of you somewhere that resents the part that goes what could have
been? You know? Oh yes, he's like you know that part of
you that going like just if only I had done that, or if only
I'd reached my dreams of this. I mean, I am. I love
my life at the moment, getting to talk about the Simpsons for a living
and working with yourself and married to kids. I could not complain. I'm
in my perfect place. There's also a part of you that goes, no,
what about it become a footballer or what have I been a major movie
star or something? You know. Everyone, yes, does think about the
road not traveled or the card's not quite falling away in certain certain situations.
But look, I think both you and I are fairly happy fellows, fairly
content with our with our lives. Dando seems downright stoked with his. I'm
pretty happy with my You should be as well, sir. I am indeed,
I am indeed. But yes, MO does speak to all of us,
or speak for all of us in some way. Yeah, I never
you just to look forward to the mo Ones when I was, like I
said, when I was a kid. But now whenever I see there's most
centric one coming up, I'm like, I know, I'm gonna like this.
Yeah, even if the wheels do seem to be spinning a little bit.
I mean, MO is kind of a little bit one note as a
character. Ah, Jesus, babe, I hate my life and I never
I hate everything else. You know, it's like which is entertaining to some
degree. I mean, I don't think you're going to have too many mole
episodes or too many most centric episodes per season, but I think you're right.
When he's front and center in an episode, it's usually going to be
something something entertaining. Yeah, And normally with Lisa episodes and kind of like
I'm touching go of Lisa. No. Sometimes I feel like I've said this
before in the podcast, that the writer's sort of voice their own sort of
griefs through to this eight year old, which can become really really annoying.
Like last week she said something about, you know, the man coming to
try and take over the regional power, and just it's horseshit. It's a
little inconsistent. Yeah, yeah, I mean what Sometimes she's ready to be
fronting the United Nations like Grete Tunberg, and sometimes she's a little girl who
likes ponies. I'm not saying these two things can't coexist, but you can't
keep going back and forth all the time though. No, you've got to
find a way to integrate those two things a little better. I mean personally,
I think, yeah, the idea of someone who is very smart,
kind of precocious, but also a child, No, I think that definitely
exists. Yeah, but you just have to find a way to not oscillate
too wildly between one and the other. Yeah. But I don't know.
I thought this episode actually did not too bad a job with that. I
mean, I think Lisa, they pushed it to extremes a bit. Lisa
is clearly smart enough to recognize, oh, this guy might actually have hidden
depths that other people aren't seeing, and also enough of a child to well,
I think any person would probably be upset if, like, Hey,
this person's taking credit for all my work and you know, all the stuff
that I did to help them out. But it felt like a very childish
and I don't mean that in a bad way, a very childlike response to
betrayal, even though you know Lisa's probably had a heart dragged around plenty of
times by either members of her family or members of the Springfield community. Plus,
like you were saying earlier with Mo, he's one of those characters where
it's very easy to not like him because he's such a horrible person at the
best of times, right, But they did a great job here of establishing
sympathy for Mo in a way that felt real and put Home aside. For
the majority of the episode, I thought he was an absolute he was just
annoying in this whole episode of just being a dick most of the time,
blah blah blah. But I thought the way he didn't deliberately forget about mon
I can buy into how that all happened. He was trying to remember,
he was trying to remember, and then something else came up, which he
just assumed was what he was supposed to remember because he couldn't be he couldn't
remember, right, So don't forget what he forgot. And I thought you
felt so sorry for Mo because he said he goes I don't normally care about
my birthdays, but someone's finally said I was trying to make an effort for
me. You know, sometimes we just like someone cares, like I'm really
excited for this, and when they let you down. Sometimes like sometimes you
invite you have a birthday party and then you know, the final hour or
two before the party, you're just waiting for those oh I'm so so I'm
not feeling well. It always happened when you're a parent, right, and
anyone who's a parent that can can totally relate to this. Holy's third birthday
party was last weekend. Right, we invited about twenty people. About fourteen
ended up showing up. Of the kids right or the last minute on Sunday.
Oh, they've worked up with an I infection, they've worked up sick.
I'm like, oh, I looked quite fine on Monday morning when're dropping
off a daycare though, like the next day, you know what I mean.
I'm just like, it just happens. People just stay. Kids are
a great excuse for Canceler's not going to a party. But it's just like
there's always disappointment. People are no damn good and I'm one of them.
I mean, I times have used my kids to not go to an event,
and that's the good thing. But a child's birthday party, make the
fucking effort, absolutely. I mean, look, before we hit record on
today's episode and I were talking about very well, I think I was mainly
talking about various occasions of it coming. I'm like, ah, God,
this is always death. Did you see the mem I put up recently actually
created by the man who I had on last week so or this week's fortuna
extra Jack nishlar right. The meme started with Bart sneaking out the top right
and said me at fifteen, sneaking out of home to go get waste in
the field somewhere. The next one was Molloyd twickling his must have seen me
at thirty five thinking the way to get out of the Oh, dear,
you've never related to a meet more at all? Now, Sorry, I'm
sorry tracking a bit here, but yeah, Lloyd was voiced by Kat sam
Neil Sam. Yeah, he's traveling at the moment. He was on Australian
Story, which shows here in Australia on the ABC. It's a bit of
a documentary program. They sort of focus on as the toll, just one
story per episode, and they featured Sam Neil. First of all, Sam
Neil's like close to eighty's seventy six years old and shit is it that?
Yeah? And I suppose he was old in fucking Jurrassic Park. He felt
old to like four year old me. Yeah, I'm saying I'm worried about
thirty more guys right now. Very good I'm not saying I'm worrying about the
state of my relationship, but I've watched Beckham, the Beckham documentary with Yeah,
and then we're watching this this thing on Sam Neil and a couple of
times like wow, these are good looking roaster. I'm like, oh damn.
Having said that, I was on he's talking about Beckham. She thought
Beckham was very nickle. Looked at Beckham, She's like, what happened to
his face? Like, She's like, his face doesn't move, And I'm
like, you should see, Victoria. Neither of their faces move when they
speak anymore. It's just like their eyes don't move anywhere. Like the mouth
moves, but nothing else. It's like when Conan used to do that fucking
sportsnegger thinks of the mouth, his mouth, His face doesn't move, mate.
No, there's no emotion in their faces anymore. Oh, there's plenty
of emotion in Sam Neil's face, even though he is I believe seventy six
years old. But he's just got the silver Fox then going on or not
mostly struggling with chemo. Well, yeah, he's he's bounced back from it
apparently, but yes, he's taking a very I'd say a good attitude towards
life and death. I mean he's saying, look, I've got this cancer
is eventually going to bump me off. I'm on this drug at the moment
that's keeping it at bay, but you know, eventually that's not gonna stop
working. I'm not afraid of death, but I'd like to sort of stick
around from my grand gets a little longer and I've got some things I'd like
to do. And I'm like, damn, Sam, Now you're the fucking
coolest. Yeah, people shout out to Sam Neil, who Yes, we're
fans of you, Sam, and we hope you'd be a fan of Fourthing
a disco out if you listen. Social media gave me a double head of
shit shitness on the weekend. It might have been last week with Sam Neil's
news and it followed up with how Bruce Willis is just essentially mute. Now
yes it's non response, and I was like, oh man, that was
terribly sad. That's incredibly sad. Because our American friends, if you have
the service Hulu, you'll be able to watch the great TV show Moonlighting,
which brought Bruce to prominence. And I don't know, I mean, I
think in maybe over the well, certainly in the two thousands movie, audience
has come to recognize Bruce Willis as kind of like these the strong silent type
you a bit surly. You know, back when you first started, he
was just this incredibly verbally dexterous performer just doing justice of this these incredibly you
know, wordy witty scripts. And the fact that now he's just sort of
not talking, Yeah, it makes one really sad. It's not sad though,
the fact that you're now getting more forfing a discit in your ears every
single week with Fourthing disc extra every Tuesday name and I've noticed, but every
single Tuesday, because you guys have been in a rude team for the last
eight years, every Thursday here in Australia we drop an episode of four Foring
a discount. We're now Fourthing a Discount extra. You should come on sometimes
we should do one next week. What do we do on next week?
I'm doing enough do any extra, but I'd be happy to. But basically
every Tuesday now I speak to somebody in the Simpsons community just about their love
of the show, and just you know, we pick a particular topic.
So last week we did the most gruesome deaths in Treasahara did that with Aliot
Joe O'Neil from the Simpsons Index. This week, I spoke to Jack Knishler
about just Simpsons ship posting in general. We've also got some guest lined up
from the show, because sometimes it's just gonna be like an interview, not
an intividic conversation like Carolyn and Meine. Classic Simpsons writer David Silverman, Mark
Kirklan, Maggie Roswell, Mike Reese are all going to come on the show
at some point of all agreed, So make sure you check out Fourthing a
discount extra as well, cause I guarantee you love. It's just a bit
of a separation from just the normal reviews. It's just sitting around talking about
the Simpsons. If you're getting high end names like that, you certainly don't
need guys. Why not because I don't want to, because Tuesday's made deep.
I'd rather watch the fuck Speaking of which spooky season as we have frequently
alluded to during the month of October, but we're going to take advantage of
that by Brendan Dando, a pale guy Davis, and some guy named Mitch
Grenter all getting together via the Wonders of Technology. We're not going to be
in the same room because we kill each other, but we're going to talk
about John Carpenter's nineteen eighty spooky classic for Spooky Season, The Fog. We
are indeed a very special movie Guys episode. Yes, looking forward to that
and that will be dropping on Halloween. E oh my gosh to look at
for that one in your ears Halloween Ey. For all you supporters of ours

Futurama, the Movie, Guys, Mitch and Dana Show, and so much
more. Patreon definitely worth it, as I'd discovered recently because I recently well,
I thought I've grabbed to a new phone. I think the new phone
might be a bit of a downgrade, but had to reload my podcast app
onto it, and I was like, I'm not getting every episode of four
Finger Discount here, and it was one of the persons who helps make it.
I think I should so I did. Were you not? Was it
because the old phone wasn't up updated? Yes, okay, my new phone
didn't. It was like, okay, I've got I'm getting just the episode.
I've got regular ass four finger Discount, which is fine. It gets
the job done. But it's like, what about some of that sweet,
sweet Petreon stuff? So Dan I said, Okay, here's a link,
and I'm like, this link is working, Like, oh guy, I
come on the link and it's an RSS feed. I'm like, oh man,
I don't I know. I was, I was fine, I'm like,
it's fine with it is ad. So basically, with Patreon, you
get the feed, it's your exclusive feed for being a supporter, and you
add that to your podcast app and then you get the access fast I have.
I eventually worked this out once I clicked a few things and all that
kind of thing. Yes, but I could I could feel Dano's ort of
making guy in technology. But it all worked out, and now I too,
am pretty to all these episodes. I basically I went back and listened
to our review of Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Well that was fun. Did
you listened to it? I did, I've never really listened to it.
Gremins one. Did he listened to that one? Yeah? I listened to
that one after all? Right now, I didn't even mean to do this
silky segue like you did before when we shifted from Bruce Willis into you know
What's not bad? Did But there's a bit in this episode where you know
they're hiding under the table. Yeah, scuttling, Yeah, doing all the
crab scuttling to avoid mo and the music. I'm like, that's Pee Wee
music. I'm pretty sure that's music. Wasn't a Big Adventure? Was it?
It sounded like it's certainly. Honestly, they mentioned references on the wiki
page. There's no reference to it on the unless Danny Elfman. It sounded
like Simpsons when he did the intro, obviously, but Danny elfmanes didn't it.
It sounded and distinctly Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Is it a xylophone that
he uses? Danny Effan's like a lot of thing that Danny Elfman uses.
That guy's in the news recently. Oh, but I'd say the worst thing
is whenever they sort of talking about Danny Elfman's alleged sexual misconduct, they're always
using these recent pictures of him where he's doing live performances. And Danny Elffan's
like in his late sixties, but he's obviously been trying to keep it tight.
Shure, he's like thirty one years old. Life's just been rough to
him. That could work his life. But it's you know, Danny with
his long hair and his shirt off and he's got tats and kind of like
that. You know, if this was a positive news story about Danny Elfman
keeping it real, it's like, Wow, Danny's looking good for his la
He's been like I think Danny might be the kind of guy whips his shirt
off at any time for any reason, and you know, consent be damned.
Look we enough to talk about that. You know where to go?
Forget myself? Like who started my own here? And the answer is the
side of justice. I am looking up here pee Wee Slash, the Simpsons,
Peas Big Adventure, and I can't find anything pee wee music. Maybe
it does sound those vibes, though it doesn't it Indeed, listeners, friends,

So I had a lot of guest stars writers, right, I'm in
two minds of it because they were fine, but I'm like, they didn't
really add anything to the story. Not really, No, I mean,
for me, they did because a least one of them was one of my
favorite writers. No, Michael Shabn Okay, cool, I love that guy.
I mean. And four, let's see the Amazing Adventures is the big
one, right, Yeah, he He won the Pulza or the Penn Award
for his novel The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay, which sort of like
a it's a very loose retelling of the story of I think it's is it
Seagull and Shooster who make your grand Superman? Maybe? I think I'm sure
you'd be right. Yeah, yeah, like I think. Don't look at
I know I'm right, given down to the year. Dare you try to
verify me? But I remember reading. I mean when I was a pretentious
little UNI student. I think back in either eighty eight, eighty nine,
ninety or so, his debut novel came out, called The Mysteries of Pittsburgh.
Picked up read it, loved it, thought this might be my guy,
This could be one of my guys, and read a few more of
his books, Wonder Boys, The Yiddish Policeman's Union, a lot of a
lot of great short stories. Yeah, he's a really prolific guy. I
went actually saw him live. He came to Melbourne a few years ago.
Yeah, yeah, I was actually like the guy in the episode of By
the Way. More a comment than a question, thank you for being such
a genius. It was like, sit down, you suck. But honestly,
if I'm the room with the guy that can say thanks for these books,
man, they're great. So I was glad to see him. This
guy, it's like another one of these doing the jerk off testion, But
no, I was very happy to see him. But also, yeah,
guys like Tom Wolf, Jonathan Franzen, I know, I noticed that they
put Pinsion in with his question mark bag on his head. Didn't actually say
anything this time around, but I dug that whole kind of thing, and
that the man who kisses boys, so girls kiss boys, of course,
that's what It's still one of my favorite girls, Lisa, boys kiss girls.
That is like the the line that just epitomized Marge as thought process right
everych because she thinks Lisa's made a genuine mistake. Absolutely sorry, I started
rabbiting on about all the show that I'm into. What was it? We're
just talking about the guest stars, how it was more of just cameos than
sort of further in the story. Yeah, they were. It's almost like
the story was a reason to get them into the show, and that's sometimes
the case. And I think we've talked about episodes where it's been like,
I think it's absolutely necessary to have this person in, and how much are
they adding to the You're getting them in for name value, and I'm not
sure. I don't think you're getting these guys in for I think they're getting
these guys in because the people who write the show wanted them on the show.
I imagine that would be the case. You'd probably have a bunch of
like now no eight year olds going oh my god, friends in friends,
but you know, a bunch of Harvard geeks like, oh my god,
Jonathan Frands, it's coming in. What if I can get them to say
my copy of you know the corrections in saying that that. The people who
grew up with the show by this point would almost be graduating for UNI.
So it's like this came out in where in two thousand and six, I
was finishing high school, so we were of the age where we'd probably appreciate
these guest stars. So it's like, I wonder by this point whether they're
writing, like who were they writing the show for. Originally they were writing
the show. They always said to be writing it for ourselves, so it's
like, no, you're writing there for a kid audience. I think,
Yeah, Initially, I wonder if they were still rutning it for a kid
audience, or whether they're writing it for the kids who were once kids who
are now. I guess by this point it feels like they're writing the show
for themselves. By this point, though, I wonder if it's a one
for me, one for them kind of thing. It's like, look,
we'll do an episode that's you know, heavy on anti war yeah, or
heavy on dumb one liners and obvious sight gags and all that kind of stuff,
and then every once in a while, we'll do one where it looks
like your nose good needs the corrections. Ah, he's referencing Johnathan Transit's novel.
Honestly, the guest star that really felt like a gimmick and that didn't
add much. The thing was the great J. K. Simmons is doing
his Ja Jonah Jameson from Sam Raimi's Spider Man movies. It was literally just
being him. He really was, and it's like, I gain, I
mean, I don't know. I mean, the Spider Man movies were,
of course popular. When did Spider Man two come out? That was like
two I want to say, two thousand and five, five, Yes,
okay, because because this, yeah, Spider Man, I'm looking up here
Sam Raimi Spider Man trilogy, which is like still to this day. Probably
it's not the most critically like acclaimed, but I think it's the most popular,
right, It's the one everyone remembers, Like my mum, she probably
doesn't remember the new ones, but she remembers the original ones because they were
like, there weren't many superhero movies out at the time, so it stood
out more. Where now it's like Spider Man just blends him with all the
other fucking Avenger movies and everything else. Now I think prior to prior to
Iron Man in like four by the way, oh okay, two and seven
was three, which, yeah, that's where the wheels fall off a bit,
because oh Samman, right, it was with Sandman and Venom and what's
that it's the guy's name from Deden Stacey that played Sam Thomas Hayden Church.
She was actually really good casting. He looked a hell of a lot like
the Sandman from the comics. He's he's the heel in George of the Jungle
and Alien Holly do not like that man. They love it when he falls
over an elephant elephant poop. He's one of those guys that you kind of
you see him in a lot of things, but it was never like the
main star, never really broke through, I think, but Deddon Stacey was.
He was ned. But like that show didn't succeed, you know it
did, all right, I mean it was around for a few seasons,
two seasons only two seasons. Yeah. I just remember him on this Guy's
because he looks kind of grumbling, looks like he might not be that bright.
He looks yeah, I mean, he kind of looks like he played
the dumb jock. But then I remember seeing him on Deaden Stage Gun.
I think he did like a Jerry Lewis in Personations only this guy's kind of
weird and nend and Stacy here two seasons ninety ninety five sitcom. Yeah,
because it was Deborah Messing, wasn't it. She was Yeah then she oh
hey Grace and she was off to the races. Yeah. Yeah. Because
funny when in the early two thousands, prior to wine Man, prior to
the MCU sort of getting it getting the ball rolling, I mean, what
do you have. You had the Spider Man movies, X Men and the
X Men movies essentially, and you had the Batman once you begin very kid
friendly. By the nineties, well there was a I mean, you didn't
really have a Batman movie until Batman begins in two thousand, because last time
was ninety seven. Yeah, so in two thousand, So its been five
years between Spider Man one and you Batman movie and look out a few others,
but I mean the ones that didn't really go anywhere, like the ben
Affleck Daredevil. They made two Fantastic Four movies that Yeah, they were very
popular again though, because they weren't many. Yeah, and you look at
those now, like, oh my god, you were so early two thousands.
I mean, they've got a lot of new metal on the soundtrack and
the you know, the special effects are like you're still working out the kings
of that CG. I actually like, oh, I remember Jessica alber It's
like, oh, before he was Captain America, Chris Evans was the human
Torch. Okay, yeah, yeah, have you seen the early nineties Fantastic
Four? Never have It's like, so when he turns into the things like
look at me, it's like the fucking most horrific thing ever I've got a
story for it, right. I noticed the twoing guys the last d two
before we get into the review of the episode. But I used to work
with a guy when I was at Ford. Glenn was his name, right,
but he was they used to call him, and it's not nice,
but he used to He used to work the night shift in the what was
it called the basement, cleaning out all the scrap or the or the they
just call it. It was some fucking weird name. Anyways, it was
like all the scrap that used to ge chopped off on the in the press
machine. Have you talked about that in the past? So you had to
did you have to go down and do that one? I thought about that,
right. But the story is he is a big track. He is
a big nerd, and everyone at FOD was like, oh no, fucking
gosh, man, this used to make fun of this guy. But I
was always like talking to him about Star Trek and Star Wars and things like
that, and needs to love it, right, just like you know,
everyone's a human being, everyone's just as equal. So I'm just talking to
this guy because everyone used to hang shit on him. Anyways, talking about
there was once a Fantastic Four movie that never got released, Like how I
used to talk. I would give anything to a seat to see that movie.
I'm like, pretty sure it's on YouTube. He's like, no,
I've checked. I'm like, I'm pretty sure it's on YouTube. I got
my phone out and I Fann like straight away, and he was like,
I can't believe. He was like, he was like shaking. He was
like, I've waited so long to watch this. And he went on a
break and watched the whole movie. I sent him the link and he's like,
I'm taking my break and he sat in the room for the whole time.
I just watched the whole movie. I'm like, oh fucking came and
you go into I'll work your shift foray. I'll cover it. God bless
Glenn. You go watch this movie. I'll work doubles hard. I don't
give a shit, you know. I was just like, so I went
on that dawn. I'm like, I've made that man's day. You really
haven't. You've made my day by telling me that story. That's lovely.
He was just like, Oh waited so long to watch this. I've been
singing the praises of YouTube for a while now. But I mean, honestly,
you'll find so much stuff on there that you think has just been absolutely
lost to the sands of time. It's impossible now to think of something that
isn't on YouTube. Like, if something's not available on YouTube, it must
be pretty fucking hard to find. But I mean, you know, I've
thrown down decent money to get like, oh yeah, oh I love this
Italian horror movie from the nineteen eighties and now it's on four K. Well,
oh yeah, I'll get it from our pals of Amazon or whatever,
friends of the show Amazon. Oh this four K RiPP has also been uploaded
to YouTube, and you know, no one's going to spend all their days
sort of like, hm, oh you have a blue this without my permission
take it down? Well, I could have just watched it on YouTube,
and it now just like and it's not a good state to be in.
I know. We always talk up the the idea of physical media, right,
and I love it. And we'll talk about Fine Destination recently, how
it's going to buy the blue rays because they want the commentaries and things like
that, and we're talking about the fog because I'm like, oh, the
fog commentary. I've got on four K and I looked at like, oh,
it's on YouTube, so I would have bought this movie I podocast wanted
on four K. I didn't own it already, but you know, I
now buy things for the commentary. But all the commentary are now on YouTube,
so I'm like, I can just stream it and play comment tear on
my phone. Yeah, even special features are all on YouTube now. Everything's
on everything. Yeah, I mean, sorry, we are still side track
and we're going to talk about Moe and a Lisa soon folks. But episode
we will talk about it. It wasn't it. Yeah, this is gonna
be very nerdy. I was looking for the DVD or the Blu ray of
Texas chains Will Massacre three has apparently had like a pretty good documentary on the
disc about, oh, you know, this movie had a tough time getting
made and then it had a tough time getting released because they made a really
gory version and it was like, oh no, we can't release this,
it's too gory. I'm like, oh, I'd be really interested in watching
that, But discs, you know, cost a shit ton I've done.
If I'm that invested in it that I want to do that, Like Oh,
well, I guess I've never seen this documentary YouTube. Oh there it
is in all it's glory. So I watched it the other night and I'm
like, okay, cool, I'm great and spend twenty five dollars on this.
Correct, So it's much in the way that Bobby Hill says, I'm
now like you. It's worth checking out our Speaking of the Hill podcast just
for pass and what are you talking about it? Because which is morphed into
all that shows? Now, just as Daniel will always mention that, I'll
give you my fine it right now, I'm going to film you. So
put up on our Patreon page of you saying hey, anyway, here we
go this, so basically patrons, so all right, I'm recording guy right
now, don't do it? What are you talking about? So, yeah,
I got the hands now you know guys, Now you know I'm filmed
myself. Now, now you know what we're talking about. What I'm laughing
at every single time because also when I do Zoidberger to do that, but
also when Dando would mention fruit pads, that's he would do the little jazz
hands, I'll do jazz hands. I'll tenn his off. So yeah,
now you know what it's like in the studio. There we go, So
that'll go up in the Patreon group. Tell your friend we should do more
of those. See, I hate technology when I've got to do like RSS
feeds and things like that, I don't understand. But when you get to
do things like that, it's like, oh, modern technology. Yeah,
wonder, let's get into our favorite moment, shall we. Let's or if
I ended your segue or your sidetrack. No, that's it. YouTube is
killing physical media. My favorite all right, my favorite moments, I had
a few. I watched the play on words in this one here, so
I like the you know, you never take me alive Grim Reaper like that
moment? I what mo and Tal? Yes, yeah, I've written a
good one, March. Yeah. What I liked is they didn't play it
up or anything like that. It just happened. Yeah, it just happened.
But I'd like the Grim Reaper gag is what please go on with what
you were enjoying though? Oh, basically the Grim gag, but just that
with the Mow and teal because normally by season eighteen you must expected Marj you
go, oh nice work, March right, put a sticker on a hand
or something like that, like sort of just go how funny was that joke?
Guys? It's just like, no, that was a good joke.
You missed it, too bad? Too bad. It's one thing. I
yeah, one of the things I didn't like about this episode was and it
was early on and they didn't I don't think they did it too much.
It was like, stop over explaining the jokes, guys. Yeah, I
mean the whole anything of one. Yeah, yeah, when Grandpa Simpson was
of a Hitler thing, yeah yeah, when he was throwing the jablin in
the nineteen thirty six Olympics and instead he hits the assassin. He yeah,
it almost killed Hitler. But see the assassin that was going to kill Hitler.
I was like, you don't need to say it while it's actually happening.
It's a pretty good visual gag of you know, the guy next to
Hitler pulling out a gun about to shoot Hitler and he gets hit by a
jab on. It's like the kids, I guess, kids what you may
not get it, though, I guess it was the whole And I went
at dinner with Hitler and we laughed about it afterwards. I was like,
yeah, that's yeah, I didn't it didn't need to throw that in there,
the joke being just he killed the assassin. Yeah. So I guess
that's the main one that sort of leapt out of me as well. But
they're doing that a bit like they certainly did it with g I No,
I mean, you know, we please don't even talk about that episode.
It's not sorry, that was my mistake. I Also, my other thing
that I've got here is Millhouse calling Mos tell him I'm not here. I
just got a kick out of that because that's usually Homer Millhouse callings one.
Yeah. So Release is at Mo's and she's showing Mo that he's been published,
and at the end he's like, oh, hey here, you going
on your house? Tell him I'm not here. That's the end of the
scene. Oh god, I missed that, bitch. Yeah, I'm just
like, I'm just gonna gonna be laughing at it. Uh, do you
have any other that's all my favorites. Yeah, what I enjoy I thought
this episode did something very well in nailing the very fragile writer's ego. Well,
I guess I'm inspired by my pale Jonathan friends and fans. Oh I
guess I'm inspired by lb ok new you meant to see me a very nice
guy. No in the episode, obviously, I'm not sure if he's how
he's well regarded or not. Peram sure they wouldn't make this joke if he
wasn't. Yeah, but I think friends and got in trouble ish because you
remember Oprah's book Club, how that was like a big deal. Oprah Winfrey
would do this thing where it's like my book of the summer is this I
spom She'd be like free cards for everybody pass we're getting canceled for thath No,
but like you go to Oprah's, it's like, guess you got to
deare guys, Oh this ship, we get free ship imagine on the next
day and it is like you are getting fruit past as low. She introduced
it as I'll take it, but apparently it might have been the corrections by
Jonathan Franzen. It was chosen as like Oprah's book Club selection and it gives
you a real bump, you know, like her lock of the Week kind
of thing. Yeah, pretty much. It's like, yeah, some things
I'm into this week, and it's like this book's really good, and you
know, if you know, you get on the show and you talk about
it and yeah, it's generally wow, more people are going to buy your
book as a result, and it would be better promotion at that time,
at time number one New York Times bestseller or Oprah saying by this book,
O s Yeah, I might be mistaken about this, and she may not
have chosen all she may or friends and may just have said, uh,
yeah, look getting chosen for Oprah's Book Club. It's yeah, it's kind
of a market You're not a serious writer or something like that, which is
weird because you know, plenty of serious writers got picked a z Oprah's Pick
of the month. Yeah, and a lot of people are like Jonathan Fans
and you're a snub. Probably it is, wouldn't you be? Yeah?
Correct, But yeah, I think they nailed the whole writer's ego thing very
well. Also the fact that writers, or at least grad students are free
loaders because they'll just snap up free bread. That's meant for the ducks.
When you're talking about you being pretentious grad student before I was like, I
was met to meet enjoyed. Did you steal free brand? Oh yeah,
Miga rain noodles, water, life saving when you got no money, oh
very much. So next question, you there eating the past. It's time

It was Heather and Salad now that is Heather's just one person. Oh,
the wrong person. God damn it, that's true. And of course
Sally Hayward. Yes, apologies to Heather and to Sally Hayward. All right,
hit me with your first tribute question. Oh okay, then what was
Grandpa's number in Berlin? Oh? Sure, no, idea seven ten,
seven ten. My question is how many events were there at the Senior Olympics.
Oh, you'll be you'll be turning this age in twenty thirty one.
H on, No, that's not right. Twenty forty one, okay,
so seventy two, seventy two, yes, hey, I was like,
I was like, what, guy's not this old? What's my mass is
all wrong? Guys? Old, it's not that all right? What's the
next one? Who was bumped from American poetry perspectives in favor of mo on
the phone? But now, who was it? It's the great African American
writer Maya Angelou? Okay? Were they putting on an offensive random accent on
the phone because they didn't guess voices themselves? No, I'm guessing. I
don't know who would have done that. I reckon it might have been Hankers
Area, probably the King of the King of Offense. And I've only got
two questions here. My final one is what was coming up? So the
first day, when Moe was getting his award, I said, writers on
writing. The next day, I said, tomorrow is Janitors on janetin correct?
Yes, gol Verdale had laughter on tape? From which class? At?
Which university? Was it eighty seven? Correct? At? I don't
know where, Temple Universe, Temple University or hit me one warm. We'll
get into our review of the episode. Okay, Then what was airing on
Channel sixty two, according to was poem That's the one I didn't write down.
That was Adult Desires, Adult Designs. Why did you not write that
down? In said of Bloody in House check out, because I I missed
the second one. I was like, I can't be bother going back.
I missed the first one, and I was like, I remember the second
one, And by the time I got to the one, like, do
the second one remember? Channels? Oh? Yeah, they're literally gonna become
a thing of the past. You mean you mean like Channel seven and Channel
nine. Who watches that ship anymore? Not that many? Yeah? Like
it's like you stream what you want on Netflix or even you go to like
the I guess the channel ten app or whatever. But it's like I can't
recall the last time I watched something in real time live on free day a
television except for like in a sporting event. Well, yeah, I mean
that Strange Story episode that I mentioned starring a friend of the pod Sam Neil.
Yeah, I've missed it on the ab scene, like, oh,
I watch it on ivie. Addicted to convenience people, there's no fear of
missing something anymore now, is there? As there shouldn't be. Well,
but I mean you could you could listen to this episode of four Finger discandt
anytime. I guess that could be one way of just guaranteeing viewers at that
point in time, saying we ain't gonna repeat, repeat this ever. But
then it's just like someone's just gonna rip it put on YouTube. That is
correct, Like you're never gonna you're never gonna miss something's been on TV now,
you'll always be able to watch it somewhere. That is true. Interesting
times we live in. Do you feel like there's going to be a time
in say, fifteen twenty years from now where people will go on YouTube and
be nostalgic for the commercials that are on TV right now, or do you
think there are kids that there going? Do kids still know what commercials are?
I don't know if they do. I don't think they do. I
think they're more like I mean, I'm finding more and more people are making
fun of the ads that are on podcasts. Yeah, like you know,
do you you? Yeah, they they'll rip against Blue Apron or I think
Rage Shadow Legends is the current big one. A lot of it's some like
game you play on your phone like it's Yeah, at least a couple of
podcasts lately've been talking about Yeah, broad togar By, Rage Shadow Legends,
like and subscribe. It's like, oh poor old Raide or sportsback gel response,
I spend all your money, I'm nothing responsible, that's yeah. I
mean, I'd say the bulk of the ads that I've seen recently have been
it's all betting agency. Are all betting ads, yeah, betting or booze.
Yeah, because like you said, I mean, the main thing you
watch on free to wear TV is sport, and the main things the advertised
during sporting events are betting ads, betting and booze. The booze ads used
to be awesome. That VB jingle is one of the all time great.
Yeah, it's fantastic. Matter of fact, I kind of now was the
guy that voiced that commercial? What a commercial? Nothing, nothing, nothing
more Australian just put Honestly, listeners, you've never heard the VB jingle?
I think we did in our Top ten TV Jingles podcast we did ages ago.
Yeah, it's unbelievable. It's just all these classics watching the beat chopping
some wood. But then he's like with the blue heeling next to him worked
over first top nice cold beer. Yeah, and then the other one was
the last, like there's that one, and then as the this ad is
but he remember that one for cop draft. And then there was the the
tongue. What the drink was? But it had satisfaction. What was that
drink? It was like a light beer or something wasn't was it? Okay?
Yeah, it was just so fact that song satisfaction. What a weird
song. Anyway, it was a tongue that would come to life and everyone
was just like have you seen the ad with the tongue? And then there
was the Bundleboe with the Bears, the Polar Bears, the poly bears.
Yeah, it was actually all I remember my ex BOFE named her ginger cat
Bundy Bear. Oh really, okay, yeah, he sort of looked like
a nice He looked like a nice class of rum with his with his orange
coating. And there's now Funko pops for it. That's the Bundy's the it's
the Coca Cola Polar Bear. Oh yeah, that was a big deal.
It was a big deal. Yeah, it was indeed. And then they
somehow incorporated Santa Claus as their mascot for a while. Didn't Coca Cola invent
Santa Claus or what we think of a Santa Claus? Did they? I
mean there's always this trading card set that was like Coca Cola trading card set,
and it was like all different versions of Santa Claus. Yeah. I
mean there's of course the myth of Father Christmas and Saint Nick and I mean
Santa Claus is real, but they created the idea that the image of it
that is correct, young listener, Santa Claus is indeed real. Yeah,
but I don't know if it's one of those conspiracy theories when you know,
you why does that did Coca Cola and the first thing that came out was
invents Sanda. Well, that's because they're listening to me. That's because your
computer's listenings you wire. The same just happened the other day, you know,
when I was over with Lou when we were talking about something, and
yeah, the next thing was like, I've never got an ad for this
before, and now I got ads for it's one hundred percent. Yeah.
So I says Coca Cola did not create Santa Claus, of course, because
he is a real person, but co Cold created the image what we considered
to be Santa Claus. And how it looks. I mean maybe the maybe
the guy created Coca has seen Santa. This may won't be the case.
I mean, that's why that's why they make cocky Cola red. Yeah.
And plus, you know, I'm guessing that the actual Santa probably dresses like
a nice navy blue three piece suit and no hat. But they thought,
well, you know, I want to keep a low profile. Guys,
can you maybe do the opposite. It's like, how about we give you
a nice red suit with white fur and a hat. You see what color
we are where that it's good for the brand. This all makes sense,
kids, will love it. Trust me, I love it. I think
this is the way it's actually shaken out. Okay, how do we get
him too that detour? I don't know TV jingles, ads ads. Oh
yeah, yeah, and it was before that watching TV channels. Yeah,
in in house, in house checkout, and it's like, yeah, remember
commercials. That's something like that. I can't remember. You made a little
bit of a leap. Let's let's get into our review. Yes, So
at the forty two minute mark, as we record this divisional air. It
was November nineteen, two thousand and six. It was written by Matt Warburton,
directed by Mark Kirkland, and guest stars all the people that we listed
earlier. So the episode kicks off with Homer waking up to various don't forget
reminders around the house on his belly. He gets a little street on his
finger. He's actually written in backwards on his stomach, which is quite ingender
in geniusive and genius together intentive. He and Maggie coughs up that don't forge,
which turns into don't forget, and then Marge says we're going to the
Senior Olympics, and Homer thinks, oh shit, Okay, that's what it
was, and he goes limp, kids do this. Holly has just learnt
the whole. I don't want to go. It just goes limp, and
I'm like, kid, damn, this is what you have to do when
you don't want to, when you want to pull them a lawyer. It's
like, this is the thing, what's the what's your situation where you would
love to just go? And limpho just just not going or not doing this,
you mean other than the recording this podcast? Exactly right? Yeah,
he laughs. Look, I don't give himself a pat on the bag or
two of him, but I think my timing just then was fucking ammackic.
He laughed so hard at the cover his mouth. Normally I'm laughing at other
people's jokes, want to do that, but this time I was like,
give yourself a little random love to gay. You earned it. But yes,
he don't look at all sad. He's got that. I've got backups.
Get me g Grint. You're there. That milk is the movie,
Get the Gringo. You should look up a poster and get the Grinter.
But yeah, so the family drags him out and then we hear him leaving
the messages. Oh, I hope you didn't forget that today's a big day.
I sure, I'm looking forward to my birthday fishing trip. Well,
I see you soon. This is my big day waiting feeling the kind of
fragile more a birthday boy listening for your car. Just feel genuinely sad for
me? You do, yeah, because like everyone deserves a happy day at
least once at least once a year. Yeah, that's one thing about the
order I get, Like the birthdays don't feel that important. It feels like
it just feels like people don't make as big of a deal for my birthday,
which I can't understand the order I get right because when you're a kid,
everyone's like, oh my god's your birthday. You go to school once
it's happy birthday. I want to get a couple of text with my mum
and my sister. Like this year my birthday, no one texts me.
I was like, ah, well, it's no big deal, I guess,
but it's not kind of sound. I'm like, not a single sol
out there thought about me on my birthday, scept my mom must have std
I not did I send you a message or anything like that? Via you.
Actually you may have Facebook messaged me. Actually maybe you did, yeah,
but no one else, Like I had no text or anything. I'm
just like, people write message on your Facebook ball and stuff, and I
guess that's the new text message. I think it is. Yeah, yeah,
I mean for a while, you know, with Facebook, and when
I first started using it, back when Facebook was a thing, I was
like, oh, someone says birthday, and you know, I people I
didn't even really know, but you just sort of, you know, You're
a bit like bloody Pokemon. Their day got to catch them all, got
to get new friends. And I was like, happy birthday someone so well
I've never met in real life. I've never really had a conversation with a
DMAs or anything like that. And it wasn't out of some kind of oh
maybe this person's feeling lang lets wish and maybe birthday. I think was more
like you had to a little bit, and then when you receive those you
felt you had to go through each individual one and like it and comment.
Now everyone goes thanks everybody for the messages yesterday and moves on. That's what
I do now. Absolutely, I don't think I actually I don't think I've
read that this year. People don't even read them. I read them absolutely.
I'm like, okay, you're on the good list, You're you're in
the cool book. Well, so I wake up on roll wake up.
It was about it used to be when you wake up on your birthday you
had all these messages on your wall, always all these people, right,
I don't roll wake up like, I don't know whatever time. And I
checked at at like eleven, I was like, oh, four people a
bit in my wall. Cool. Clearly no one cares about hit anymore.
But I think you can also tell the degree of friendship or affection you have
for a certain person by you might happy birthday so and so or happy birthday
say and so ex. I always make the effort to text them if I've
got their number, because it just it feels more special than just the message
on the Facebook wall. I've got friends that I grew up with who will
call yeah, which is great. Very Apparently pee Wee Herman was like a
legend for sending people birthday messages like you never missed the birthday, so I
heard. Yeah, big fans of Peewee. If you've got friends out there
and say birthday, make sure you message them. Don't just post on their
walls, send them a fucking message or call them. Yes, don't be
like guy, because I know how it feels. It's not nice indeed,
but they arrive at the Senior Olympics. Grandpa. He mentioned the flashback from
nineteen thirty six when he's doing Javelin killed the assasin that was going to kill
Hitler. Then he went out and had dinner with Hitler, which was just
whatever. Jasper's lighting the flame with the electric to what are those chairs called?
Just like a stair chair? Yeah, Miss Lisa, check out our
Gremlins review. Yeah, make sure you do that. We need to do
more movie reviews. I think, yes, laps with them recently we have
Yeah, what's the last time. The last time we did was Peewee?
Wasn't it? Was it that well ago? I think so cheapest creepers.
Yeah, we need to do these way more often. Yeah. Lisa has
aligned composition book and her assignment for school is to interview somebody interesting from Springfield.
That was gonna be one of my trivia questions as well. I do
have that under trivia highlight pen can you remember at least three of the people
I could read the names off my notes, So could I taken in terms
Millhouse's dad, Comptroller Atkins? Do you know who that is? Can you
remember that? So that's the guy vaguely when Lisa cheats on her test,
and he's kind of like the guy that comes in to give him the big
check for them because she has such a good style. Yeah, so he's
that guy, kind of like the superintendent Charmers with the brown beard. We
also have guilt, very tall man and squeaky voiced teen who they named last
week. Yes, indeed, why didn't you say, mister Friedman? And
then Lenny suggests that you can do about him because he clicks what other fucking
odds? Absolute ads, alcohol ads, Oh my god. I think it
was George mcmanam who was talking about this the other but we mentioned the song
something, we mentioned Candy Andy Moore and then he's like, I'm here their
knees, I'm gonna listen to it. I'm sorry, George, that's exactly
how it sounds. Do you say they dead? George? He may even
gave me the enemy like that. He's a lovely gentleman who sent me gifts.
I arrived to gifts at Nicholas's family's house because he lived in the UK
wrestling found much like myself and sent me a sign photo of jungle Boy Jack
Perry, Lute Perry's son, even a video message. He paid for a
video message, George, take back that quirky voice. Sorry about that,
dude, but he mentioned the other day. It's like, hey, you
guys mentioned Candy Bye and Manny Moore. I hadn't heard that in age as
I played it. Then a day later I watched the movie and man Candy
by Mandy Moore was on it. I said, as we always say,
mate, the Unified Theory or four finger discount, which got a little laugh
emerge, which made me happy for like five seconds. But you love it
when you're in mid conversation with somebody. Obviously this isn't the equation here,
but when you're in a conversation with somebody and you know when they're done with
the conversation because they just react to what you've written. Oh, yes,
that's the that's the new way of saying I'm done. I had this with
with my nephew Rory James last Actually we were sort of talking about some stuff
and it's like I can't talk any more. Dudes. So I'm just gonna
get thumbs up on that last comment. I just on the comment itself.
Yeah, yeah, because I'm like, okay, guys, done to give
you the thumbs up guys. But yeah, I don't know. Is it
rude though, I don't think it is. I mean I think people just
now know. Yeah, I think ignoring it's probably more rude. Yeah.
It's impossible to ignore now though, because people can tell when you've read the
message. So if you ignore now, then you're definitely a rude prick.
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna say that. Sometimes people you see
the reddit, they start writing a comment and then never and then there's never
write back. They sort of deleep that you're clear that we're gonna write something,
deleted what they're going to say because they said, like so and so
was writing and then that goes away and then a comment never appears, and
it's like, so, not only did you see the message, you're going
to respond? Decided no? But anyway, getting back, So, yeah,
we're talking about Lenny. He suggests the absolute ads and he only has
one. Then we get the old Jewish guy. Those absolute adds were pretty
cool though. They were cool. Yeah, I mean I think it was.
It was cheap hipster wallpaper in the It was in the nineties and two
thousands, early two thousands. Yeah, when you could just rip him off
the back page of a magazine, remember magazine, and have them all over
your wall. If you want to see magazines, go to guy's house.
They're all in plastic containers in the back room. Mint condition. That's true.
Seemed to be settled an eBay. Probably never have Luisa's kids ever been
to your house? I think Felix has been once, Okay, or maybe
Isaac. Mum, don't ever take me back there. Please get a smelled
of cat Wei in despair. Mummy really saying this guy this guy so yes,
basically about old Jewish guy. He's doing the diving, use this loose
skin to fly around, and molment has replacement legs and just a bunch of
visual gags. Yeah yeah, nice. Rocky the Bullwinkle, Yeah, Rocky
the Bullwinkle. I'm like, what now, Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Yes,
shout out with the music and all that. But Willie here, he's
starting to range. He puts on his rain poncho, which looks like the
Grim Reaper's coat and what is it? No coat? What does he wear?
The Grim Reaper? A cloak, yeah, the cloak of some kind.
Yeah, chases Grandpa because Grandpa is losing all the races and everything,
all the events, and he's got because Grandpa drops his teeth, so he
chases up to him give him back his teeth. Grandpa gets scared, thinks
it's actual, really the Grim Reaper, and he wins the race and he
offers Bart the soul because he sols fresh. And now, at first I
like the gag of Willy the Grim Reaper, of being second on the podium,
and of course we were chasing Grandpa. Yeah, but then I went
back and washed it and he didn't cross the finish line with Grandpa. The
old Jewish guy who was in third cross the finish line with Grandpa. So
I'm like, shouldn't he be in the second psision? I've never been happier,
hippie Craper. So they arrive home and March has a line here which
no one acknowledges. She's I wonder if the dog thought about us whilst were
all gone? What if they do cats, I don't think give two ships
about us at all, even when we're unless we're feeding them. They don't
care. I don't know. I mean when I got back from overseas,
basically it was pretty happy to see them, was he really? Yeah?
Although, how does the catch they having this litt rub it against you?
I guess yes, yeah, you get your ankles get rubbed up against a
lot. That's what you do when Louise gets home after a week and leave
my ankles alone. You're widow, don't guarantee me. But they Yeah,
they arrive home. This is my homo season. Oh shit, I was
supposed to go to most fishing trip and I didn't mind the Oh home's home.
Oh, it's just his car because they're hiding. They go in the
backyard. Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me. I feel so
damn longely. Won't someone kill me? I'm ready wore. He's looking in
the windows, and I was like, this is actually super creepy. Imagine
being in your house and the guy is waiting for you and he knows you
inside, just keeps like peeking inside to see you there, And I'm like,
there's not a way to live. Like, can you imagine that someone
been outside your house just peeking in? You're trying to hide from all.
It's kind of like when you know, because almost one of those people who
I don't like to turn people away, but like people come to the door
and they're trying to sell you something. I'm like, just pretend you're not
here, and then Jet barks. I'm like, Jet, shut the fuck
up, and they hear me telling Jet to shut up, and Ali's like,
who's at the dog? I'm like, as, but yes, Mo's
outside. They're trying to scuggle around and not having to acknowledge the fact that
home forgot him because you would feel terrible. You're a puss bag? Whoa
march? Whould you piss off? It's for you, puss bag? Who'd
you piss off? And I was like, just felt like we've heard bitch
a couple of times in The Simpsons, but like pissed a like a word
you wouldn't hear all that often. Have we ever heard on the Simpsons?
I don't think, So who'd you piss off? I'm gonna Frank Yak piss
yeah, because because they don't have Season eighteen or Frank Yak. So it
has been, it will be, it has been said before it appear in
here, So I'll type piss um so March here, Oh yeah, March
is in the frying game. How much money did you piss away on this?
When he when he it seems inappropriate. It does seem in appropriate,
okay? And oh yeah in Haberpaloozer, Peter Frampton, so that Peter Frad
doesn't say it, but he's like, oh my god, that Eddie Sandwich
man, he's going to be pissed off. So they have said it a
couple of times. I'll take that back, just but just feels like a
word you wouldn't hear all that often. Well, mister Burns is George Carlin's
learning about the seven words you can't say on television. I'm pretty sure the
piss was one of them, was it? Yeah? Okay, but that
was also recorded when oh that's true the weekend at Burns's when Hoamand has the
marijuana. I told you I pissed it away. But this is the thing.
Pissing something away sounds different to pissed off. Yes, yeah, yeah,
I mean apparently, I'm I might begetting this wrong, so disregard,
but it might be probably. You know, if a movie is getting raised
or something, you'd get a harsher rating if you said, boy, I
really got fucked hard last night as opposed to fuck off, which kind of
makes sense, said Lisa. Sorry, Pickle, I know you still believe
in Santa. So Lisa is, why wouldn't he Santa's rude us Christ?
No one do? You got no kids? Kids? Guess what we're gonna
go live with anyone else? You gonna live with Santa? Luck? It's
that way and I'm pointing south, take the long way. So Lisa is
she's taken it back by Moe's letter and a deep tormented soul. I mean,
that's obviously hitchik. And she goes to scene and she says she wants
to write her report on him. He thinks that's going to make him having
the best birthday ever ever. But the dog choos on his arm. Bird
it's still in the top three. Yeah. Then the birds eggs, yeah,
top ten, top ten. So now they're walking to Moe's apartment at
the Regent Hotel with the buzziest sign in town, buzziest neon sign in town,
and home is sitting on his vibrating massage chair, which is full of
cockroaches and a list. It then sees the fragments on the fridge. So
mo has just been like writing random shit on the fridge. I guess,
yeah, writing just little fragments of thoughts on post it notes. Yeah,
Christmas. I was at the Christmas pageant once and mum showed it with a
new boyfriend. He called me, Steve. What you got here is poetry?
O mos a poet. He has the soul flood your wings. It's
tea time, and put your conjunction clote the princess of Lollipop lan go.
He locks you eleven and popery seriously. Oh, I think you have a
gift. Thanks Homer. I love you man, You love a man.
One of my favorite since the moments of all time hit Lesy's bookie book.
Yeah, this is the ship version of that. This is the ship version
of that. Yes, yeah, this is the yeah, the crap twelve
inch remix. Yeah, because that is like about being a nerd right with
bart. But this is like saying, oh, you have emotions. It's
just I don't know, oh, you love a man. Whatever. This
probably slayed in the writer's room in two thousand and six, but now it's
just like whatever. It's like my notes Normally, I like Homer poking fun,
but this time it sucked. Yep. And then Lisa realizes, you
know, this could be a poem, says, we make a great team,
and then she takes Mode to school to read out one of his poems
and no one gets it. Pilastinees now at the family dinner, and Lisa
says she's going to send his poem to the American Poetry Perspectives, the magazine
I'm assuming I guess, so, yeah, yeah, yeah, And Homer's
annoyed we can't speak that name in their house because they didn't publish my wrapping
Tomato palm. And I'm just like, what the fuck is this? This
isn't even a joke, no, Like, it's just I don't get it.
It's it's kind of sad how they've dropped the ball regarding Homer, but
sometimes they don't. Sometimes they do, like more times than not they do
now. But sometimes you just like, I think you can clear you clearly
still know how to write, Homer if you want to, even with the
bad gags. It's kind of like, oh, I think I see where
you're coming from. Or you're like, well, even like we said,
well, you know, Homer poking fun. It's like, oh, they've
worked in the past, and it's like, yeah, but work in the
past for that reason, and you're doing it for this reason, which is
you know you're you're playing the song, but you're playing the notes all wrong.
Well, my question would be, if they handed me this, would
say, how does this joke here at the end of this scene further the
story in any way or compliment the story in any way. If it's not
complimenting the story, why is it here? And it doesn't, so fuck
off with this shit? Well, top oss. But then we get ja
Jonah Jemison, don't we we do? Yeah? I don't think does he
ever actually call j Jonah Jamison or just but he is as that on the
wiki page. Oh okay, chief, we just got a submission from a
brilliant poet no one's ever heard of. Huh huh genius. Pay him nothing
and running on the cover. Stop the presence, send my wife some flowers
and bring me in advil. What do you mean you don't work for me?
You're hired. Now that you're hired, you're fired now that you don't
work care we can be friends. Now that we're friends. I'll come you
never call some friend. You are God, I love this business. I
guess it would have felt relevant at the time. Oh yeah, absolutely,
I mean I still kind of feel relevant actual. He's still doing the films
he is. He was in what was the last one? No Way Home,
No Way Home? I think, yeah, and it was was no
Way Home? What was the second one? European Vacation homecoming Far from Home?
No Way Far from Home? That's right, ye, right, yeah,
Because I mean I think JK. Simmons had been working for a while.
He'd been on Laura order we learn Palmer, that's ours? He says,
what do we learn Palmer? That's our? Bit on our that's correct.
He was on oz and oh that's right. Yeah, yeah, he's
terrifying your eyes. Oh god, yeah, I'm too scared to watch ours.
Really. Oh yeah, just like the line that stays with me.
I'm certain it was. I was because we used to watch it all the
time. It was like ship of my deck, of a Blood of my
Knife, And I'm like, oh man, what about a third option?
Oh yeah, so yeah. But Slas, I'm like, oh god,
I was talking about re listening to Tabler gets the Stabler out indeed, but
stables in Rippon shape. Yeah, I mean going if I was in Christopher
Maloney shape, I'll be like, check it out guys and leaders, but
most of the guys. But I was listening to tell guys get an ad
for girls. Do will tell us this later? No, I was listening
to some podcast. Well, the episode we did with with Charlie claud Be
honest, I was gonna say. It wasn't the what's the one you always
quote the Rewatchables? Oh no, that's a different podcast. But now the
podcast we did with Charlie Lawson when we talked about Last Temptation of Homer,
and I think we were saying if we went to what would we be if
we went to prison? And I think both Charlie and I were like,
oh no, we'd be punks, would be passed around like a packet of
smokes. I'm too pretty. So Lisa shows that he's published, He goes
to most and shows him all the barflies. I can't believe it. And
then he gets a phone call and it's from Tom Wolf. He's been invited
to the Wordloaf Festival in Vermont, which is a take off of that's a
real goodquition. What is it is? That the Breadloaf Festival or something.
Never look Wordloaf. That's a conference. Yeah, based on the real life
Breadloaf Writer's Conference. I did not know that was a real thing. No,
No, I mean Vermond is lovely. I mean I've never been,
but everything I've seen it was like that would be a nice place to go,
particularly during autumn. I think, yeah, looked like the place to
go. The place that seems to be the is now Oregon. Well according
to Ashower, but yes, Portland, Oregon seems to be like everyone's like,
oh, because that's where Bill locally is from. Oh okay, yeah,
like Paul Laurian, it's the place to be. Yeah, Bill,
shout you a tasty cheat tasty sandwiches from from you as fast food outlets.
But I'm just reading here in the wikipation of interesting stuff. So the episode
guest stars Tom Wolf, who says has once said that The Simpsons is the
only show of any sort that he watches on television or at the time when
it went. That's one way of getting on the show, isn't it.
Jonathan Franzen, do you think I named checked the Rewatchables all the time?
Yes, Shabroon recorded their lines together gor Vidale, who admitted that he was
not a regular watcher of the show. In one version of the script,
it says Wolf, Chebron, Shavon, Shaven shaven, sorry shaven, and
Franz and were all killed by a giant boulder, and although they recorded the
lines for this part of the episode, it was cut from the final version.
You would love festival. You mean all the great American writers know you
have to go. Yeah, well, okay, all right, but only
if you come. Huh. I wouldn't have none of this, would out
you? Kid? Hello, No, I'm not here. They then arrive
in Vermont. It's a family trip with a family bartender, and we get
home. I drink driving because that's apparently funny. We learned nothing from Codependence
Day. Then we get troopers from Rhode Island cops in every show we review.
So yeah, he's like, I'm from Rhode Island. We're a small
state, will be up for big tickets. I'm like, why does it
want hat Island? Why are you picking on Roe? But yes, home?
Has he been a not arrested, but he's been attended to ticketed,
Yes, ticketed by the troopers. So then bart moxall the writers little Da
Vinci code shade here being thrown. Probably true. They probably did sell one
hundred million copies. Oh god, yeah, look the damn Brown books sold
the shu the Vincy code. How many copies sold? Let's have a look.
Eighty million copies. We just saw a shit Look when they have his
book sales about two thousand, two thousand and three was out sold only by
what do you reckon another Bible? No? Jk Ailings, Harry Potter and
The Order of the Phoenix. Ah okay, But they enter and they see
Tom Wolf, the man who's used more exclamation points than any other writer in
America. It's true. I wish he did the John lovetzt there. It
would have been better. But mo, then he ruins Jo Tom Wolf's jacket
as he's talking him up with their Tom Wolf very well known for wearing just
a white suit pretty much anything. Is that. That's his trademark, So
ruining that would not be fun. No, No, although I imagine he's
probably got a closet all of them. Makes joke that everyone enjoys. And
then I love the He says some of the lines of satisfying as a new
pair of socks on a wet hike. I was like, that would be
very satisfying. Oh absolutely, But nobody can believe that he didn't write the
title himself because he comes out clean and he's like, wait a minute,
I need to change this here. Because before that, though, Gorvidale arrives
and says, I didn't do the titles either. I stold those ideas,
so they kick him out. He got the title for bir I look at
the wrapper. I thought that was very funny, but he leaves Lisa hi
and dry. He says that he wrote it just him, and everyone goes
out to the hay ride. They're all having fun outside, and Lisa's I
did like that, getting down to what is it black eyed peas? Yeah,
let's get it started, or or let's get our word, yes,
which is I can't. I wonder if people still say that now. I
can imagine they don't, and I just find it hard to believe that at
any point in the world that felt okay to say in that term and in
all honesty, let's get it started. Is more better, is more fun?
Yes, It's like let's get ship faced drug, let's get it started.
It's fun for everybody. Everybody going to enjoy this kid's talking. Take
it. Let's dad it started. Hit how many uncool teachers have been made
cool by you know, rocking into the start of the squad. Let's get
it started. Wow, missus sewn so is going to be a fantastic I've
got a whole new love of learning. I don't know, maybe this never
happened. That happens every year. It happens every but anyway, good use
of the black eyed peas, particularly among these stuff shirts. It must be
nerve wracking for a teacher when they're just getting a new class, Like that
first ten minutes is so pivotal. Oh yeah, you've got it's yeah,
like the prison yard, You've got to establish dominance. I mean it's the
first ten minutes of a new of a date as well. It's like I've
got to impress. You've got to establish dominance there. Yeah yeah, oh
boy, wait a minute, that came out wrong. But yeah, it's
like you've got to metaphorically punch the most naughty student in the face. I'm
not taking any guff's. Like when I said the other day is like I
might do it. Why because I told you so? Why because I'm the
fucking boss. That's why he's like, he's giving you his chips. You've
been to KFC and he gives you like half his chips. I gotta I
gotta pay tribute to the big Man, to the big Gap. And this
is us. Oh man, sorry, that's really funny. I'm pressing the
hell out of myself today. Allie goes to eat like some popcorn chicken looks
at me, you want it, doesn't say so trembling the popcorn chickens going
everywhere. That's right, Big Daddy gets Big Daddy gets his DIDs on the
pop chicken. This is what Hoby's done to him though she's broaken him down.
Holly walks up, She's like, I want to sit there. Alic's
like, well he's learned a vae. The ladies are always right. Okay,
m introduce her panel, Jonathan Franzen, Michael's Shabon, and Mo whoa
clear water swanky. Now we all open the floor to fawning praise and obvious
questions. Well, yeah, first of all, I'd like to thank all
of you for your brilliant work. Yes, yes, My question is who
are your biggest influences. I'd have to say my good friend Jonathan Fransen,
I thought his novel of the Corrections needed none shape. Well, in turn,
I'd have to say my biggest influence is Albert Camue. You were supposed
to say me, I blurbed you. Yeah, and it looks real sweet
on my dust jacket. How do you like me now? Friend Zone?
Mo? Who inspired you to become a writer? Jack Kerouac, Charles Mukowski,
Me, Tom Wolf? Well, I don't know. The only book
I ever read was Super Hounds, The Ultimate Greyhound Betting System. So any
of you wet naps write that? Mistress says Lack. It must be some
person to be in this very room who believed in you when no one else
did. Oh yeah, I get what you're getting at Nope, But how
can you now now he's answered your question? I declaire of this panel,
dismissed, Like I deserve acknowledgement, I said, dismissed. This is where
she kind of felt annoying at this point. It's like, I feel sorry
for you, Lisa, but it's not going to come, so just get
over it. Ye. Look, it's just life. Just guilty of him,
that's life, kid. But the family are going this is actually awesome.
This is one's reminded me of you. So the family were going vermonting,
Lisa, wouldn't be a great company. Well, thanks for the heads
up. We'll see you when we get back. It is always good when
someone gives you one out. Yes, well, well, thank you for
the heads up, but you stay here. So the then drives through the
house, of course, because he's a new idiot, and they exchange insurance
infron and he hasn't got any list. Then she's fankally didn't mind that.
Let's exchange your insurance information. I have none. That's actually pretty fun deliver
that, Lisa. Mean, while I was feeding the birds at the park,
grad students are trying to pick up the scraps, all the crumbs,
and not until they've greanded three thousand papers. They had to eat the proper
meal more than ask so for help, which is you're heartless joke, Well,
where'd that come from? My actions? And may as well. So
then he starts getting it. It was he's in the water for some reason,
I can't remember why. He was laying out his poem blown the water,
and they blow into the water and the duck start eating. Yes,
and then he starts shooting the geese because he doesn't want to lose his fight.
The family arrive home and they're quite sweet. They've got Lisa, Moe
and Lisa bears, and they don't worry it's not made of real bears because
she starts crying, just the fur and the noses. But then Homer and
Bart get angry at the fact that Moe has made them, made their daughter
and their sister cry. I'm like, you can't go from like being sympathetic
to like, from an idiot to sympathetic like this. It just it's it's
so disjointed, the Homer. But it's now whose evening is going to be
a water best new poet? And Wolf wants to all the mashed potatoes.
Now, is there a gag that I miss just because it's white, like
white suits and white potato. No, I think it's more just, you
know, apparently events like this. Stephen King wrote about it in one of
his books. How you know, writers generally don't make a lot of money,
so if they're invited to events like this when you take home of the
soaps in my hotel, oh yeah, it's very much taken on the soaps
and you know, go wild at the buffet. One of the things I
really remember. I think it was in his novel The Tommy Knockets. Like
every writer knows. You take you know, you take two pairs of shoes
and you get them both shined by the by the by room service or something
like that. You know, you get all your dry cleaning done with,
like oh yeah, ride this gravy train while you can. I always when
I go to an oil you neat place, fill up my plate and then
take that shit, don't Oh yeah? Am I wrong for doing so?
Some people like some people like really do that, And I'm like, pay
thirty eight dollars for this fucking meal. I'm gonna be taking them a few
armies or you can, yeah, before you leave. It's what they say.
I didn't wor byo beast for bring your own bag. I always go,
can I take this home for my dog? Do you think there's less
shame in asking for the doggie bag these days? Did you? Were you
ever sort of like I used? I said, I used to use the
excuse it was for my dog, And it wasn't for my dogg it was
for me. So it's like it's kind of like when you return a night
and I'm like, oh my wife bought this once you brought the wrong one.
It's like they don't believe me. But I always feel guilt, But
now I don't care this. This feels like now this is part of part
of the deal. I guess well, cost of living's going up. They're
like, yeah, we're gonna charge me with this a man, and you
know I'm not gonna eat it all now I'm going to eat something that later.
Yeah, unless its I was just the other day, what did I
have had it? I ordered a parme of all things. I haven't had
Pubbly for ages, but I went to the Sphinx for Holy Birthday the family
party, party, and the party were so big that I actually couldn't finish
it. So I just took half of it home. And I'm just like
this should used to feel weird asking for this, but now it just doesn't.
It's like, yeah, sure was bringing and it'd be a container.
I'm like, oh, contains a bag anymore? Just wrap it up and
napkin. But it may make him shame most like, nan, take it
out, or you can eat us rapuh up and nacins and put it in
her handbag. She'd be walking out like marjor with the fucking candy. But
Moe reads out he's he's now newly written poems alabatic capacity and the various channels
and yeah, not going good at all. But Lisa interrupts and he says,
well, she's an interrupt She just walks in, I guess, and
he sees her she's all sad. Oh, by the way, sorry you
mentioned the garlic mash potatoes. I too would be like Tom Wolf and just
like if you got spare garlic mashed potatoes if you don't want to on my
way, because when I make mash I tend to throw a bit of garl
Again, it was like, oh, yeah, I put calig in everything
that. Yeah, yeah, But Luke called me out the other night and
said you were garlicn't say that? And then some you said at that end
of the couch, by which I mean the other couch, speaking of Jet.
Right, he's got some gut issues at the moment, so Jet usually
when he farts, right, he's on the couch. It's almost stinks.
Right, you're sitting next beyond the couch yesterday and I was just giving him
some cuddles. He's in the middle of the couch. Normally his fart's just
like right last night, for the first time ever in my life, he
just goes, oh my god. I was like, are you fucking He
ran scared himself. That was like your animals ever far like genuinely fighted like
that. I know. It was right next to me. It's just a
really long and yeah. And usually you were able to sort of like,
you know, blame it on the dog. Well, you're definitely gonna blame
because that was definitely rude. Niggla was excuse me, like it was a
dog. It was a dog. That was a dog. No, but
oh god, an animal fart is just like the word and honestly, like
to quote what we're talking aboutarlier fog, Oh god, yeah, I mean
lose dog RAFFI will do them occasionally. He did one of the other nights.
How are you producing this smell? Yeah, I mean this is literally
burning well it's not literally, but it is figuratively burning the hairs out of
my nostrils. Basically did the same when I first got it, and he
did a fart that was so bad it woke me up from a deep s.
He said this, I was like, what the fuck, Oh my
god, you know, what I got a different poemp for you. Oh
to Lisa, pointy headed mini muse, more friend than I deserved. You
pulled me from the dirt and made meet a beautiful flower that I am.
But some flowers can stab you in the back, for which I should send
you flowers, which I will, but they were closed. You'll be getting
them tomorrow. Oh Lisa, if you could just forgive me, you would
make me the happiest man in Vermont, except for those two dudes I saw
getting hitched. Not my thing, but I wish him Well, that's not
a bad gay jo No, because I mean I think Vermont was probably one
of the saying it's a bad thing. No, no, I mean,
not my thing. But yeah, I wish I'm all the best. Yeah,
yeah, I mean, but I think Vermont was might be one of
the few states in the in the States that at the time there was a
low on gay marriage. Well, yeah, didn't have a restriction on it.
So but that's a nice little bit of social commentary. I guess the
show it's not from me, but anyhow, he's an alline. Nonetheless,
Homer and Bart then try pouring syrup on tomorrow, but it's going down so
slow. It's a bit of a carry shout out yep, And I just
like that would to make you feel better if this hit me? Not now?
So he steps aside. He's made up with Lisa. They go regional
duck bowling? Is that shooting duck? I don't know what? Lisa says,
let's do it, And I was like, what is regional duck bowling?
Let's google that regional duck bowling, duck pin bowling, the origin of
duck. I see this is duck pin bowling, is said duck pin?
Does he? I just think that's I thought there's a regional duck bowling.
And I'm suming like one of those things that it's it's a smaller just a
smaller version of bowling. Yeah, and it's probably outside or something. Yeah
anyway, but yes, because it wouldn't be hidden. It's not like ten
pins. But they're probably like Dan, it's got us some lovely Star Wars
plastic mugs for us to quench our thirst while we while we talk. I
imagine they're about that size. I'd imagine so too. All right, and
over the credits we have Homer tastes. Are we still recording? But I
remember recording all those time that we have, we've got had timing the car.
Let's get through this. So Homer over the credits his tastest in the
syrup, and someone says touched in the head, is he yep, which
pretty much just sums up where Homer is at this point. Touched in the
head, is it? It's almost like that's that shouldn't be where he is
touched in the head. I don't know. But the thing of it is,
I mean, Homer being all kind of like wine connoisseur about maple syrup.
Is that I think that's actually pretty funny gag. Yes, And I
mean it's one that it would sort of play during vintage Simpsons and no one
would sort of It's like with the chili. Yeah, everyone would sort of
play along with it, like I mean not they say he carved it with
a bigger spoon. I mean maybe sort of. Yeah, the waiter would
go like, oh fine whatever. No one sort of go oh, he's
an idiot. Right. As the sound, I feel like Dan Castlenetta for
this role. This part here just improved a bunch of various shit and that
is animated to the sounds he was making. Okay, I don't know.
I actually thought it was not a bad gag, but yeah, but that
touched in their head? Is it? It's like, well, that's the
fucking point of that. What do we learn, Bomber? That's what you
learn from the episode to Davis that if you attend word loaf, the first
ten rows may get wit. Okay? Is it what I said? That
was a one of the signs? Okay? I learned that. What did
I learn? What's something that's off? That was one of our side notes
today that I learned. She learned about Colin and Santa Clause. I genuinely
learned things episode. I personally, I was very happy to learn the story
of Glenn and how you just made his day, week, month, maybe
year. It was the shaking of the hand nozzles, handing him the phone.
He was like, it can't be. This is only Grayer. We've
talked a bit, We're talked about so many things in this episode that I
learn plenty, yes, indeed plenty forward your names will be all right.
It is time now for the Guy Davis New Name Championship here for season eighteen.
The current leader board stands at this in first position, and we have
Luke McKay on six points in second position. We have a two way time
with Kyl muldoon and Philip Jay Hawkins both on five and various people on three
points as well. But yes, take it away with to day. So
what do we go this week? Bad luck for you, various people and
I get your names, right, o michllaneous. One point goes to poetry
in motions. Oh, Luke, McKay's clawing further away. He's now in
seven points. Nice one, Luke. But let's see who gets two points
for poet Moriot? Not bad that ooh newby too. Season eighteen's leaderboard.
It is Fergus. Jeff's on you. You assume he's Irish or Scottish or
whatever. That accent I deliberately did a bad accent that can't be placed.
That's the story. It's better than George your enemy. Sorry George. But
three points go to I like this one a lot, Lisa versus versus versus,
Lisa versus Mo. Not. That's really good that someone say it's clever.
I wonder who who done it? You know what? That's exciting because
that pushes clever Cale to first position. Well clever Carl Mulder Carl Maldner's now
in eight points in first position. Luke McKay on seven. He thought he'd
claw further away, but Kyle the threw bun appeal and the Blue Blues tortoshell
and he's hit the front. So Cayle Olduner first on eight, Luke McKay
on seven points and second, and Philip Jay Hawkins outright third, now in
fifth on five points. Alright, alrighty, let's do this mail bag,
shall we? Mail Bag? I hang on mail bag? Mail bag is
here? This one here, Simpson's mail bak at gmail dot com comes from
Michael Palmt's bit of a long one. Let's's get through this one, he
says, Hei, hello, Dane guy. I thought i'd finally write into
the podcast after many months. I'll write a letter. I'll write a little
letter just like home. I waenting from mister t at the mail at the
mall. So I'm running to you by the sea from Portugal, where I'm
on holiday. At the moment, I was catching up and listening to a
million Dollar Aby on Monday. During the day, you mentioned that the fish
and chip shops near you were closed on Mondays, and a friend told you
it was because they were collecting stock. I thought this made sense, but
at the same time strange because in Scotland they are always open on Mondays,
getting deliveries regularly, I assume. However, when I went to look for
a restaurant in Portugal that Monday night, nearly all of the restaurants were closed.
At this point, I thought Dane's friend was right, because we had
discussion. This is way back in like July. He said this through in
July. However, after speaking with some of the locals here in Portugal,
they explained that at all the restaurants they are extremely busy on Friday to Sunday,
so they close on Monday to give them time to clean up and sells
back on track, which makes sense. Also, I thought i'd throw out
this question to you both at the moment. I'm really into music, so
I wondered who you thought would be some of the Simpsons characters favorite artists or
album's past and present. We have had some mentions in the show, but
it would be fun to assign one artist or album to a character. For
example, Mo he thinks would be The Cure or something something more gloomy sounding.
Marge Barry Manilow she thinks they would be much his favorite Edna Krabapple with
Britney spears of Rihanna something to make it feel sexy or empowered. Comen book
guy Rush, he's getting into the dystopian sci fi lyrics, and he just
says he keep up all the good work and all the best to the whole
Forefinger Scamp family, which has grown so much over the years thanks to the
hard work. And although I'm not always enjoying watching the Simpsons episodes as much,
I still love checking out the episodes and listening along with you guys in
your reviews. So thank you so much, Michael Plummer. And he also
points out guys legendary tangents. Oh, Michael's my new favorite guy. He's
from Glasgow, Scotland, so he would probably sound like Fergus, even if
Fergus sounds like no Scotman Scotsman ever, Michael, thank you for that lovely
missive from Portugal. I hope you having a fantastic time. I think Portugal
does sound very, very nice. Let's throw it. Let's throughout some names.
So Lenny, who's Lenny listening to? Probably whatever Karl's listening to,
Yes, and trying to feel cool. I feel like Carl he is definitely
he don't want a stereotype that do you no? But he Carl would be
like a soul or R and B guy. Yeah, like Isaac Hayes in
Hot Buttered Soul. He'd be listening to Salty Balls the Balls. But if
Lenny was just by himself, not listening to what car's listening to, I
feel like he'd be like a very eighties I reckon Lenny. I feel that
I felt the song Lenny feels called to is like push it to the limit.
Oh, how many kids in the how many people in the eighties and
people and they put that song on when they got into the car and felt
like absolutely to the limit? Lemmit, they have that in the South Park,
don't they? I mean maybe I think I think it's coming up in
the South Okay, soon you throw another character. You throw a character to
me though, for some reason, the first one that came to mind was
Martin Prince. Martin Prince, who was Martin Prince listening to? So this
is to say his nineties kid? I think, but I think he'd be
listening to classical. Yeah, he would be, wouldn't he. I can
imagine him being a Beatles fan. Do you think he'd be the kind of
Beatles fan who would sort of he'd be picking out the deep cuts, Yes,
like the White album retakes and we'll do one more. Who is we'll
get the war his characters. Who do you think Smithers listens to? That's
an interesting one. M Again, we don't want a stereotype, but everyone
on Simpsons is a stereotype. True, Okay, I want to say someone
like Dusty Springfield or Carol King or something. Carol King is a good one.
Yeah, yeah, I can buy Carol King. The Carpenters maybe,
Yeah, Carpenters if you're listening to like Rainy Days and Mondays or get Me
Down or as I've mentioned in this show before, my mom's favorite song ever
is Please Miss the Postman. And I watched that video you said where she
just shows it on the drums in the great Yeah, shout at Karen Carpenter.
I would do a couple of Malbay questions from the patrons as well.
First one here, David, what do you like maple syrup? Yeah?
It might. It has to be on pancakes, though I can't have on
anything else. I have done that thing where It's like chicken and waffles and
I'm making waffles put them in maple syrup on top of that. Not bad
at all. Remember when our Canadian buddy sent us that gift, it was
so awesome, it was so rad Thank you, Pat Right, Thank you
very much, Pat Right and Canadian well yesterday, said she. I was
like, what a couple of packet of chips. It was like a giant
fucking box. And we Dan and I both got a bunch of stuff.
We ate and drank all of it, and maple srup was part of that
package, and it was really nice. Maple soup is good stuff. I
do enjoy it. Glenn Gomez, what do you do to remind you of
something? It's got to be the phone now, because the phone, the
phone is are what thing I've always got with me. Lou gave me this
the other night because I was like, Lou's very much the social director of
our particular unit. And you know, she was saying, oh, the
models are playing at the Barm Club and you hit here in Geelong, and
I'm like, do you want to go? Say yeah, let's go do
that. So I'm like, okay, So this is on that night and
then so and so I was on that and then we're doing this. You
know, have you put any of these in your phone? I'm like,
I don't really use the phone on that much. To use your phone.
I'm like, yes, ma'am. So now I've got a whole bunch of
stuff in my phone, and now I've got to do them my lay by
the way, just as I do when I'm doing what are you talking about?
When I do mylloy? I'm twisted a little anyway, But yeah,
I now now it's the phone I religiously buy like a diary at the start
of every year, you know, between boxing day and news like, I've
got a bad dary and I'm going to get myself organized. And then that's
why I gave you the book for the notes. Was you obviously filled up?
Have you mispleased? I'm very very close to finishing. Okay, yeah,
final one here. This is actually a good point, Brian Hughes.
Did you notice how this episode is basically the same as please Home. I
don't hammer them with a male taking credit for the hard work of a female.
Wow, hugh'sy well, well well spotted, mate, I don't notice
it. I hope it's not Hughsy I sent you that video. We've got
like two minutes stuff on this card, so we'll skim through it. But
Hughsey Dave. Hugh's a comedian, right is comedian. That was like the
most unfunny version that episode of that show I've ever seen. It is a
hot take whatever. There was hard chat, hard chat. Yeah, before
there was hard quiz with the Tom Gleason and he's not for funny. He
popped up in a clip of that Mass singer Think it was on like have
you been paying attention? You're just like, oh, this is scary.
And I was like, ah, be funnier, more funny. And and
as as I wrote back to to Dan Do when he sent me that clip,
I'm no fan of Dave Gleeson and Hughes. He made Gleason look like
fucking letterman. That's Tom Gleason, by the way, he said, Dave
Gleason, who is a famous musician. I'm creating a frequently passed away Actually
not Dave Gleason of the another member of the Screaming Day, No, Dave
Gleason passed away. Are you sure you looked it up? Wise? I
