But for now, enough spreaking. 30 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.640 I think it's time we sit back and enjoy my conversation with the One 31 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:56.319 the Only Mister Jack Knishler. It feels like, you know, Simpsons ship 32 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.599 posting has been going for years now, right, but you're just like this 33 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.239 name just taking the world by storm and the shit posting world. Like, 34 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:07.000 how made this happen? Man? I actually don't know, Like when I 35 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.319 first started as well, there's no way that I would have envisioned that I've 36 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.439 without sounding like kind of arrogant, like developed a somewhat reputation in that kind 37 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.919 of community. Yeah, because really it was just a hobby to start with, 38 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.960 and then it kind of morphed into its own thing. Did you so 39 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.360 you were making memes in Simpsons shit posting the main group and then you thought, 40 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.319 fuck, wait a minute, I'm actually getting a lot of traction. 41 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.719 I should make my own group. Or because did you start the thrill House 42 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:35.599 one yourself? Yeah, so myself, Corona Martin and Ruby's and Eddie formulated 43 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.960 thrill House. But honestly, when I first started it kind of it started 44 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.639 from the covid era has something to do while lockdown was going on. We 45 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.919 all had to find something to do, didn't we. Oh? Man, 46 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.000 it was crazy and like, honestly, when I look back, I'm like 47 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.759 I was posting the most generic shit, Like it would just be I'd share 48 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.240 an image of something that I saw and I'd posted in like obscure Simpson's characters 49 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.199 or maybe Rancher Overlaxo. And it wasn't really a meme. It was just 50 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.159 like, you know, someone dressed up as a Simpsons character and I'd share 51 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.159 that Simpsons related content. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then it just 52 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.159 morphed into its own little thing, and I started developing kind of like I 53 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.199 guess a nick a niche of where I'd have like this black label text and 54 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:23.479 I would essentially just insert myself as a character. And then before I knew 55 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.439 it, man, I just took off. And then I started posting in 56 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.520 Compu Global. Yep, that was my main one. And then I developed 57 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:36.680 a friendship with Karna and we got to talking and eventually formed Thrillhouse a few 58 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.120 years later. But really from something that started, there's just something to quell 59 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.080 the bottom of lockdown. It's kind of crazy what it turned into. It. 60 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.080 Are you guys sort of like competition now for Comfort Global or not? 61 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.960 Because you're both AUSSI based, do you see this competition? I was sort 62 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.560 of like, you know, supposed to have each other out honestly, man, 63 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.199 Like, it's kind of weird the politics that happened with like between the 64 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.159 Simpsons group. This kind of crazy. This is the thing, right, 65 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:03.840 I get so many I get so much shit, and I'm just I've just 66 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.680 just accept it, right because you know, we'd take memes. I always 67 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.080 try to give credit where I give where I can. But sometimes people a 68 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.280 lot of the time, people to send us memes and I'm like, who 69 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.639 made this? Like I don't know, and I'm like, fuck now, 70 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:15.680 I'm going to go check the groups and try and find who made this, 71 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.519 and sometimes I just can't find it. So I'll post up the meme and 72 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:20.720 I'm like, if you know who made this, let me know. And 73 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.240 man, people get angry when you don't give credit for a meme. Yeah, 74 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.000 yeah, do you know what? They get angry? Ever, as 75 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.279 well, if you've reposted a meme like Bill say this competition, you know, 76 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:35.120 like the Harrison comment, Oh yeah, or repost, I'm like, 77 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.000 look, everything's been done at this point. Okay, you're reposting an old 78 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.040 Simpsons clip. You realize this, right, Like, it's already a repost. 79 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.279 If you repost a meme like say you post a meme to one group, 80 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.040 there's a whole audience in another group might not have seen it. So 81 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.519 if you post it to another group and you know, there's a couple of 82 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.480 people that have already been members of the other group and they see it and 83 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.720 then they're like repost, I'm like, okay, it's a whole your audience, 84 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.000 though, Yeah, what's kind of like, you know, I've talked 85 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.800 to people who work on The Simpsons now and I'm in season thirty five, 86 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.600 and they'll do a story and someone's like, you already did this in season 87 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.600 seven. It's like it's fucking twenty years ago. No one remembers that anymore. 88 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.360 We've done everything. Okay, it's all been done. It's like the 89 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.759 Obscool Simpsons Characters page. I think it originally started to post obscure characters and 90 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.839 it's been active for like three years or more maybe. So if someone posts 91 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.639 something and it doesn't have an obscure character, someone's like, you know, 92 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.759 in a smartest like, oh, nice obscure character. I'm like, look, 93 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.399 after two weeks, they're done. Yeah, Like, we don't, 94 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.639 there's no more to post. Did you make that obscure Simpsons? Oh? 95 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.160 No? Actually, one of the other ad means of thrill house sheey I 96 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.839 think is one of the original ones ruby Yeah, okay, cool, Yeah, 97 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.000 I forget it on at some point as well. What's like, what's 98 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.759 your process for making the meme? Like, now you're going to make sure 99 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.399 you get the black the black square or the black red ting with defined well 100 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.600 you always put certain things into your pictures to date. Yeah, yeah, 101 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.079 that's the thing is like it's so such a basic format of how I make 102 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:06.680 the meme. But with like the black label text, just on aesthetic alone, 103 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.439 you can kind of tell that it's mine. That's and you sort of 104 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.279 claim that, now, haven't you. Yeah, I'm not even like I'm 105 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.240 claiming it. It's just like people know it if you see it, tell 106 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.480 it's one of my memes. Sure, sure, but yeah, I mean 107 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.199 there's really no process involved in it. Like they're pretty low effort. There's 108 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.639 not a whole lot involved. And because you know, you've got the two 109 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.959 crowds that enjoy kind of like your standard Simpson's mash up where it's two scenes 110 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:39.439 blended together, and it's that kind of style of the meme, like hiw 111 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.800 he edited one, whereas mine are just like a poor Man's meme where I 112 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.800 just insert some kind of generic reference over a Simpson screenshot. It's almost like 113 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.439 as a stand up routine, like you know when this happens in real life. 114 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.319 That's what it is. Man Like I at the end of the day, 115 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.040 the way that I post memes, it's about the human that I enjoy 116 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.600 it. And I like that of self referential, not taking yourself too seriously, 117 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.399 just taking a piece really And yeah, a lot of it's just relatable 118 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:11.959 content, like you know, some like just like a workplace scenario or something 119 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.199 that happened to work, and then you insert out into a meme and people 120 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.120 can relate to that. And I find that that generates its own audience of 121 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:24.040 like the relatability of some of the content, and some people enjoy it and 122 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.040 some people don't. But that's like, I'm a human is subjective, right, 123 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.920 So I appreciate the ones where it's like, you know, when I 124 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.279 was a kid, so you always bust out the space Jam blanket and the 125 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.240 Batman. I think the Batman Forever poster is it, Yeah, which is 126 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:42.800 weird because I don't even really like that movie or much. I mean Nostage 127 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.439 books. I was a kid, well, hell do you I'm thirty five? 128 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.800 How do you? I'm so, I'm thirty three. We're about the 129 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.639 same age. So, like I was a kid and that Batman movie came 130 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.000 out, so like I was writing the target demo for that movie, so 131 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.360 I have like a nostalgia for it. But everyone's like, you realize that 132 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.279 movie shit out. I'm like, I know it's shit, but you know, 133 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.360 I still liked it because I was a kid. It's my ship. 134 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.639 Let me enjoy my shit. That's kind of like, you know when you 135 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.639 talk to kids that watch the new Simpsons, and you know, people from 136 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.480 like our age, like, oh, it's not as good as back in 137 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.519 the day, Like, just let us enjoy the new episodes, please, 138 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.680 because these are our episodes. It's the thing as well. I was only 139 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.920 talking about the new Simpsons episodes the other day, and like it's not intended 140 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.199 for us as the people that grew up with it. It's it's brought for 141 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.759 a new audience. Well, I can't expect. It's kind of like a 142 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.120 selfish mentality to have the idea that the Simpsons as they started should be catering 143 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:35.639 to that original audience. So when they're inserting popcorn for if I'm like watching 144 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.480 it now some of the pop culture references, I don't know what's going on, 145 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.039 but it's the same thing as if a new audience was watching some of 146 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.840 the throwback episodes that we grew up on. They're like, who the fuck's 147 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.759 Bill Clinton? Exactly? But this is the thing. I was so ad 148 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.559 the lit I don't know what who Lizzo is. I'm like, who right, 149 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.279 I'm totally ad the loot now, but she was like on The Simpsons, 150 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.279 I reckon about a month ago, what's your kind of like peak error 151 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.000 for for me because I wasn't allowed to watch it till I was six, 152 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.679 because I got banned from watching because I copied Maggie from treous I want and 153 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.679 goup the knife out of the kitchen draw and my mum was like, that's 154 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.559 it for the Simpsons. So for me, I have a nostalgia for like 155 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.320 season five through maybe ten. I reckon maybe five and five through seven are 156 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.200 like my favorite seasons. I think what about you? One for me is 157 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:26.159 borderline unwatchable just because it's really fine its voice and the animation. Like I'm 158 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.080 such a I need to dig the aesthetic, so like the animation style for 159 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.759 me that I really love is kind of like three through to ten, where 160 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.919 it's slightly imperfect, but it's not as refined as like the high definition that 161 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.399 we have now. There's that one season where they've got the really big pupils. 162 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.279 I think it's like season four. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of 163 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.480 it's bizarre. Yeah yeah, But for me, I think, like aesthetically, 164 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.320 my favorite season, I reckon it's probably like season like King Sid's Home 165 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.519 at ear like season seven is. I think that's when they look at the 166 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.279 season seven. Yeah. Yeah, I like season seven and season eight. 167 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.440 I really like like the aesthetic of that animation. Yeah, and also like 168 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.279 in terms of consistently good episodes, like that was a hell of a run 169 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.559 that went through right, Like you can pretty much put on any episode and 170 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.039 a Tobanger. Yeah. Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein were the showrunners at that 171 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.080 point, and you know, Bill Oakley obviously did steam Hams and yeah, 172 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.480 yeah, I feel like those two guys like they made the best episodes. 173 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.519 They really like. That was Simpsons fans who somehow made their way into the 174 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.720 Simpsons writing room and gave us the best episodes. Mm hmm. Yeah with 175 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.879 you, so with your with your memes. So I'm just assuming you've got 176 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.120 like a notepad of ideas and just when you find time you make the memes. 177 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.759 Or is it just the case of you're doing your work and you're like, 178 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.759 fuck, that's a good idea. You drop everything and you make the 179 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.159 memes. Like how do you make the memes? You do it on a 180 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.080 computer on your phone? What do you do? Man, I've got like 181 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:52.840 notes in my phone. I can imagine there's just five hundred meme ideas that 182 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.480 I put in there, and then I just categorized them into a priority of 183 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:01.279 oh, this is probably a good one, so it's like top memes, 184 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.960 and then I'll be like, man, there's times when I'm laying in bed 185 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.120 trying to go to sleep and I've just got like ideas churning, and then 186 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:09.960 I have to reach over to my phone and be, oh, I put 187 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.440 that in and then I'll think about that the next day and then build on 188 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.440 that. Yeah, And don't you love it when you pull your phone out? 189 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.879 We can't do that as well with certain things. I feel like you're 190 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.039 most creative when you're about to go to sleep, and I love it when 191 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.679 you wake up next day and you're like, oh, man, I totally 192 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.360 wuld have forgotten about that idea, but think I put it in my phone 193 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.000 for sure, because I definitely haven't done it before. I've forgotten to put 194 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.960 it in and it's just gone into the EGI yeah, and you know there's 195 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.879 something then and you're like, what was it? Oh, it's weird, 196 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.480 man, because with the memes as well, like sometimes I'll be like, 197 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.480 this is going to be a banger and it's like, you know, moderate 198 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.600 likes at best, and then there's like a throwaway one that I spent thirty 199 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.879 seconds on and it's a thousand likes. So it's like there's really no gauge 200 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.879 on what's going to go well or what gets picked up in the algorithm. 201 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.679 Either that's the thing, it's the algorithm who they push it to. It's 202 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.519 so fucking weird. Now the algorithm you've got to really you can't work it 203 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.639 out anymore. And anything, I think it's just a lucky dip these days. 204 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.879 Well, I used to feel like it was like time of day dependent 205 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.200 as well, Like I would post it would be like because I used to 206 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.159 have a thing because I've got a lot of OCD qualities, so there was 207 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.559 a point where I was religious, Yeah, for sure, religiously posting once 208 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.159 in the morning and once in the evening, so I do two a day, 209 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.200 and I felt like that turned ten thirty time frame and then like you 210 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:30.039 know, a four thirty five o'clock timeframe seemed to generate the most activity on 211 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.559 the post. Whereas I have no idea if that's legit, It just it 212 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.440 was what it was. I used to sort of have the mentality of when 213 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.200 I was posting things up are most of our followers and at the time it 214 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.080 was Australian. Now that sort of all around the world. It doesn't really 215 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.600 make a difference. But I'm like, when are Australians knocking off work when 216 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.679 they're going to be most likely to be on their phones. That's when I's 217 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.279 sort of pick in my mind. So it was usually like seven thirty people 218 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.519 just finished in and they've got their phones out fucking around watching TV or whatever, 219 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.039 and I feel like seven thirtysu to be a good time for posting meanings. 220 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.600 But now you just can't pick. It's just whatever. Yeah, especially 221 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.480 like with the Australian group that I was posting in for a long time, 222 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:09.879 that's easier to predict because it's primarily an Australian audience see yeah, yeah, 223 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.240 whereas now with like Thriller House and even Bought Posting, it's worldwide. Like 224 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.919 Bought Posting's got I think they just broke over three hundred thousand followers or so 225 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.799 they're from just everywhere. Man. Yeah, so yeah, there's really no 226 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.399 gauge on target audience. You just post when you post and see if it 227 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.679 takes off. I find memes now that get the most reach organically, very 228 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.960 very very rarely boost the post. Might be a link for one of our 229 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.320 podcasts, that's the any thing. I'll never boost a meme. But I 230 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.519 feel like the ones where you've got to click into it to see the full 231 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.320 picture seem to get more organic reach because it thinks that people are engaging because 232 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.639 they're clicking into the photo to see the full thing. It's like a three 233 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.840 panel meme. They generally do better than one you can see the whole image 234 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.120 without having to click into it to see the bottom, like the screenshot. 235 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.360 That's interesting because I used to feel kind of converse to that, where if 236 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.159 it was like a multipanel meme, because I've done I remember only a couple 237 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.240 of times because they actually take a fair bit of effort. But I've done 238 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.759 like super meta memes where it's like fifty plus panels and it's pretty much about 239 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:20.480 the group itself and group members within that group, like personalities at like regular 240 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.840 posters, and they take a shitler effort and they get a bit of traction. 241 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:30.639 And then if it's like a four panel meme, I feel like people 242 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.799 are less inclined to click on that as opposed to a single one or a 243 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.759 double one where it requires no clicks, which is like it kind of highlights 244 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.879 the laziness of just the average person. It's like, can't be fuck clicking 245 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.519 on a panel to see how many are there. The best thing is, 246 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.679 I think, is when you can see there's a third panel, Like people 247 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.639 post memes, but like you have to actually say there's three panels, because 248 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.440 they've made the positioned to see if you can see like the top bit of 249 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.399 the third panel makes people go, well, what is that? What is 250 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.159 that? And then they'll the curiosity gets the best of them. They're like, 251 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.960 Okay, let's see the punchline. Yeah, but what was your first 252 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.600 ship post? Can you remember? Oh man, probably something super whack in 253 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.639 hindsight, like something real shitty. I actually don't remember what it was. 254 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:16.480 It was nervous posting it, were you sort of like, oh, man, 255 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.919 what if no one likes it? Nah? Not because I didn't even 256 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.919 have an idea of how it worked. It was just like I didn't give 257 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.840 a shit about how many likes it was going to generate. You just posted 258 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.480 out of boredom. And then I know, for me personally, it became 259 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:37.159 like you're chasing that dopamine of like the validation of people liking the post, 260 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.960 especially the more popular they get, and if you're consistently getting a lot of 261 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.039 likes on a post, it becomes addictive, man, it really does. 262 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.679 You end up chasing that kind of fucking dopamine here, like, oh, 263 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.120 let me get that high of people like my shit, people enjoying my content. 264 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.600 But then at the same time, there's a fair bit of anxiety involved 265 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.159 with it, which sounds ridiculous because they're just means yeah, but like some 266 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.559 of them can be quite I guess contentious, and you get people just really 267 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:12.039 get in in their feelings and letting you know exactly what they think about something, 268 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:18.399 And I kind of feel like that's something to do with the anonymous nature 269 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.559 of the Internet, where it allows people to speak in a way that they 270 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.080 wouldn't speak if it was your and iron person. You kind of like that 271 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.120 road rage mentality where if someone cuts them off in traffic, they're freaking the 272 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.200 fuck out and they're this out and the third. But if someone stepped in 273 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.679 front of them in line of the supermarket, they're not going to say shit. 274 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.080 It's going to wish that they could have said something and then be like, 275 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.559 dang, I should have said that. If someone steps out of the 276 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:41.759 car, then they quickly turned the car around and drop the other direction. 277 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:47.759 Yeah, exactly exactly. So it's it's it's very Yeah, it's weird. 278 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.240 The audience you can get on certain means it's good. I'm gonna be very 279 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.120 careful with the ones that I post because we try to keep it like we 280 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.159 try to be like the You've got rock Bottom in all those other pages and 281 00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.639 they dropped the sea bomber light and we're I just like we try to be 282 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.799 like the family friendly ish version of like as Simpson Ship posting, because it's 283 00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:07.480 essentially it's the podcast page, but we're posting memes. You try to keep 284 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:08.839 it family friendly because we have a lot of sort of like connections with the 285 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.519 actual show, and I'm like, they're not going to want to be associating 286 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.480 with me if I'm putting memes up with the sea bomb or to bias memes 287 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.839 mostly dropped the Sea Bomb and stuff like that. And I know, not 288 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.279 that I'm against that kind of stuff, it's just we've got to keep our 289 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.559 image a little bit more squeaky clean than those of like rock Bottom of those 290 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.759 kind of things. Not on pals of all those guys that run those pages, 291 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.559 because they're way more popular than we are. But yeah, I just 292 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.559 I just found it very interesting that, you know, just how crazy ship 293 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.599 postings has got to this point where people, I don't know, it's almost 294 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.160 just become like a job for people. It's it's such a community now, 295 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.640 isn't it. Yeah, I mean, and depending on the group, it 296 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.240 can be such a fun vibe. It's like a virtual hanging. Because that's 297 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.720 how I feel we've been able to cultivate. The whole idea with Thrillhouse was 298 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:56.680 that we wanted to take essentially everything that we thought was wrong with other groups. 299 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.079 Because there's pros and cons to eage group. What are they wrongs, 300 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.319 do you think If you yes, I don't want to go for me like 301 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.880 if I'm taking my own biases out of it if I look at it. 302 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:15.240 Some groups get so political to where three out of four posts are politics based, 303 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.319 and that's where you're run into the most contention with comments. We avoid 304 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.240 politics like the plague mate, Oh you got it, man, because like 305 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.880 it's such a hot issue, especially now with what's going on in the world, 306 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.759 it's really really hard to like, at the end of the day for 307 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:36.480 me memes that are meant to essentially just be for me personally and escape from 308 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:38.240 all the extra bullshit, Like I just want to crack a smile and have 309 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.599 a laugh. I don't want to open up Facebook and see what's going on 310 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:47.319 with like Palastine and Iran plastered over a Simpsons thing where it's like, this 311 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.200 isn't to do with the Simpsons, Like, take your own shit and talk 312 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:53.160 about it somewhere else. So I wanted to take the things that, like 313 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:59.799 the negative components that I find with other groups, eliminate that, but also 314 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.440 buy a space where you can have you know, slightly spicier content, slightly 315 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:08.880 edgier jokes to where it's not completely you know, g rated content. It's 316 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.640 not just offensive for the second being offensive either exactly, because that's also like 317 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:17.359 cringy, like if someone's just we we get an occasion we're in the group 318 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.039 where someone's just thinks it's a spicy content, but it's not. You're just 319 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.960 inserting a shitty opinion under the guise of a Simpson's name, And so we 320 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.960 put the squash on that quickly. But we want to allow people freedom to 321 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.160 post what they like, obviously within reason, because some groups want to you 322 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.559 know, squeaky claim. Some groups go the other side where they get dark 323 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.880 and then the group gets completely sucked. And we just wanted the middle ground 324 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:44.799 where people are free to express opinion, have difference of opinions, but avoid 325 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.640 just the heavy politics that seem to burn down a lot of other groups. 326 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.480 Yeah, do you find you have the same regular posters in your group? 327 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.519 It's funny, man, because each post kind of ends up having like it's 328 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:02.200 it's I even know how you articulate it. You get like your top ten 329 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.680 kind of prevalent posters within that group, Like their are the sort of personalities 330 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.240 within the group, so you get your standout characters. Has anyone tried to 331 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.480 copy your your your gimmick of the your gimmick, but you know your style 332 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.200 of the black with the white font. Has anyone tried to copy that? 333 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.599 Or as everyone go, oh, that's Jack's, then we better not. 334 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.440 There's no one that I would ever, There's no one that I would point 335 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.839 out as being like, oh, they've intentionally started doing this. There's definitely 336 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.400 been a couple where you can tell, especially with the self referential nature, 337 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:37.279 because mind are very like the classic style of the meme that I'll post is 338 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.720 generally two panels and the first one will be me, etcetera, etcetera, 339 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.599 bottom panel me, etcetera, etcetera. Yeah, so when I see that, 340 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.519 it can be like an homage to maybe something that I did. But 341 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:52.400 at the end of the day, I don't stay claim to any mean like, 342 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.599 you can post whatever you want if you take inspiration from that, so 343 00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:03.079 be it. Like I. Some people get really jealous or like very possessive 344 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.640 of the style of meme that they post, and then if they see someone 345 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:08.799 else try to mimic that, they're like, no, that's my ship. 346 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.839 What the fuck that means? Man, don't there's Simpsons at the end of 347 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.480 the day too. We don't own any of it. Yeah, so you're 348 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.559 free to post whatever you like. Well, so many people from like three 349 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.960 House were starting to like invade all my posts just running credit Jackniche and I 350 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.319 was like, oh h to the point where like I haven't posted one of 351 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.160 your means for like a week. As a result, I'm like, oh 352 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.599 man, I'm just like even when I wasn't posting your memes, I was 353 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:36.000 just posting credit. It's like twenty comments credit Jacknishline. I was like, 354 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.039 oh guys, leave me alone. I'm a nice guy. There's also like 355 00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.119 a bit of tongue and cheek in like the four finger Dissed Town, you 356 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.400 know what I mean. It's like if you look at it at face go 357 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.240 too. It's like, yeah, we kind of yoink memes like credit where 358 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.000 it's due, but at the end of the day, it's not like we've 359 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.440 fucking stole the mona Lisa. It's a meme. Well, we always try 360 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.279 to give credit where we can. But man, so many people I've had 361 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.319 death threats. I remember one guy I generally said, if you you don't 362 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:02.759 give credit to my meme, I'm gonna come with you along and like you 363 00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:04.839 just went to town. I was like, I just I wrote you looked 364 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.920 in the comments, I said, who made this? Now that I know 365 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.720 it's you, I'll put your credit in there and you back, Oh, 366 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:11.440 no worries, mate, Yeah thanks. So I sorry. I got a 367 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.039 bit over the top. But I just get real like defensive when people just 368 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.440 pinch my memes. I'm like, chill out, dude, do you get 369 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.519 what kind of the like inboxes do you get? Do you get some crazy 370 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.279 inboxes? We just get people. People send memes through and their ship house, 371 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.480 and they get really offended if I don't post them like I'll like sometimes 372 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.279 I'll just like react to it and with a laughing faces they have they say, 373 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:37.640 yep, I acknowledged that I've seen your meme. But I can't post 374 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.200 everything, right. I'm very very picky with what I post up. Right, 375 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:42.839 They've got to I'm gonna be able to. I know what my audience 376 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.680 likes, and some of the memes that come through and it's like this isn't 377 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.480 very good, but I still say, oh, yeah, great work, 378 00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.279 blah blah blah, And like three days later I'll say, so you're gonna 379 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.799 post it, I'll go, oh, maybe we'll see how I've got a 380 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.440 little bit of a backlog. Well why are you posting it? I'm like, 381 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:57.039 oh god, block gone. I can't deal with this, you know 382 00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:00.960 what I mean. But we get now because the page has sort of gone 383 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.480 a bit more popular lately, we're getting so many like hello admin, can 384 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.000 we post on your page? All these fucking fake accounts, which is hard 385 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.680 to sort of filter between the real accounts and the fake ones these days. 386 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.039 Yeah, that I was not surprising. We like, I never would have 387 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.480 envisioned the amount of widows that I've had in my my I don't want to 388 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:25.680 say weirdos, but you said no, like honestly, well without being like 389 00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:30.599 an asshole about it. Like sometimes some people will post some really heinous content, 390 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.400 give them a warning, be like remove the post, that's fine, 391 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:37.920 and then you know they continue to do it, and you pretty much you 392 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:44.119 can tell when it's a troll account, it's a fake profile and they're posting 393 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:49.000 things with the anonymity of the Internet, and then you you remove that poster 394 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:56.000 from the group, and then you just met with the most hillacious dms from 395 00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.759 these people just going in on you. Like some of the not even DM 396 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.799 sometimes like some of the comments that I get on some of my posts because 397 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.920 I reference my wife a lot in them. Yeah, obviously some of the 398 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:12.480 because of the self referential nature and how I insert myself in the means it 399 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:18.960 leads me open for probably a lot more criticism than like the Simpson style mash 400 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:23.640 up posts, because they can attack my personality because it's put on showing the 401 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:27.599 meme. Could you say it's me me? Yeah? Yeah. But also 402 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:37.599 it's satire, like when I'm talking about like nutting in six punts, it's 403 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.119 not necessarily you know, the actual truth of what's going on. It's satire. 404 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.960 But I'll have people be like, oh, I feel so for your 405 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.039 life. Like the other day someone commented They're like, I hope you get 406 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.839 cheated on, And I literally had to laugh out loud and show my life 407 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.640 because it was just so unnecessarily harsh. What's crazy is that people writing this 408 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:02.920 too are like serious, that's the scary thing. What's going on in your 409 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:07.319 life? This upset over a mean man? How many do you take down? 410 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.720 How often do you have to take one down posts? Yeah, in 411 00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:17.519 like in the group when it's just like many man like at the moment with 412 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.920 what's going on. We've had to take down a few because they're quite politically 413 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.720 driven, and we didn't want to a group to kind of turn into whatevery 414 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:27.200 other group does. So we had to run one of those topics where you 415 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:30.559 just like it's best to leave it to other people. Not this for sure, 416 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.000 for sure, And it's such a contentious topic that, I mean, 417 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.559 no one's going to have the answer, like, no one's going to come 418 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:42.920 to a mutual understanding on what's going on. So and they just escalate so 419 00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.559 quick and then before you know it, you're getting so many posts being reported, 420 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.880 and you know what you're seeing like in mean groups where a trend continues 421 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.680 for a while and it kind of just beats a dead horse. That's what 422 00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:57.599 I was going to ask you about that later on. Yeah, about the 423 00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.160 trends, Like do you sort of look at trends or do you sort of 424 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:04.160 just think because you your thing is just relating to something's happened in your real 425 00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:07.640 life, sort of associated with your real life, So you don't really follow 426 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:08.680 like the trends of the memes, do you, Because you've got to like 427 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:14.160 Boat It's like yeah, because in the boat posting is like you know it 428 00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.759 was the leaves. Recently everyone was doing leaves and I was like, yeah, 429 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.920 like that was like so popular for like four days. I reckon, 430 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.519 I don't even know how they start, Like where did Kevin James one come 431 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:29.359 from? So the Kevin James won started because it became its own thing outside 432 00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:30.920 of ship posting. Then they sort of moved it into ship posting. But 433 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.519 yeah, I don't know how that exploded. It was just like that image 434 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.359 has been online for so long and people have just decided now it's kind of 435 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.039 steamed hams, like steam hams. When I was a kid, I didn't 436 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:42.319 even find it all that funny. And then when we got like you know, 437 00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.599 when we got hold like twenty five thirty, it's like it just became 438 00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:48.960 like the meme of all memes, and I'm like, how, I mean, 439 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.119 who just decided steamed hams was the meaning of all memes? Well, 440 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:59.079 the minute and there's a trend of the hidden panel oh yeah in the comment 441 00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:03.720 one. I don't I don't find that style like personally, again, it's 442 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.480 subjective. I don't find that style that main funny, but it goes on 443 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.680 for so long, and then that's what we just try to avoid in the 444 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.240 group. Like, you know, it's fine if you get in on a 445 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.240 trend, but you don't want to be looking through a timeline and you've got 446 00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.000 twenty of the exact same joke in a row. Yeah. I try to 447 00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.079 avoid the trend ones and just try to look at ones that is not timeless, 448 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.200 but go that anyone can relate to this, Even if you're not a 449 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.240 Simpsons fan, you can probably relate to it. Yeah. Yeah, well 450 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:32.200 that's just I just don't get in on the trend one because generally, like 451 00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:36.319 the trend style memes aren't in my wheelhouse of how I mean anyway, so 452 00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:40.640 I wouldn't be able to do a relatively good justice to one. I'll leave 453 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:42.720 that for the other people who actually are good at that stuff. Do you 454 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:48.279 have a favorite of yours? A favorite meme? Yeah, that you've made? 455 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:49.720 You Do you have one that you didn't think was going to be that 456 00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.400 poppy and you're like, shit, people really like this one. Yeah. 457 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.960 There's definitely been a couple of them, but none that I can really think 458 00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.759 of. Is I remember the one that went really well when we put it 459 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:03.240 up. People loved it was the one where you're like sneaking out to get 460 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.720 drunk when you're fifteen and then Malloy twiggling his mustag. Yeah, yeah, 461 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.279 sneaking out to go back home. Now that was a pisser. Well, 462 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.559 it's also funny some of the ones that there was one that you guys shared 463 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:21.039 as well, where it was a lady talking about, you know, send 464 00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:26.640 him home in it Ober fed him blah blah blah. Yeah, they got 465 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:32.799 a shitload of shares. That was one where that was a throwaway like that 466 00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.880 took what a minute to put together and then that takes off. So just 467 00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.480 like you really don't know what's going to hear and what's going to miss the 468 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.720 way I gauge now because my wife she was never a Simpsons fan growing up. 469 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:45.519 She's from the UK, like it was big in the UK, but 470 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.599 she just never really watched it. She was from the but they call the 471 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.039 country in the UK the equivalent of country in the UK. They didn't watch 472 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:53.359 much TV or anything. But what I do now is I'll show her and 473 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.759 mean before I post it, and if she reacts to it, I know, 474 00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.400 well Simpsons fans are going to like this because I liked it, and 475 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.039 of a nonsense since fan likes it as well, there's probably gonna do really 476 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:03.400 well. So that's sort of how I gauge now what I think a post 477 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.359 is going to do well before I put it up, Like a meme is 478 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:07.720 show my wife and she finds it funny, then that's the thing. And 479 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.000 that's what I did with the sneaking out for a drink because like I think, 480 00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.799 you know, everyone who's in their mid thirties now can totally relate to 481 00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.519 that meme. Yeah, I feel like that's where a lot of my memes 482 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.559 are going towards as well, just like crossing that thirty threshold and then suddenly 483 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.079 it becomes a lot more like relatable content of things that you used to be 484 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:32.640 able to do maybe in your youth that slightly start to deteriorate as you age. 485 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:34.279 I mean, people love the memes where it's always like you know, 486 00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.839 it's happened to you, and people always sort of those memes always do really 487 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.559 really well well. I just I'm a sucker fan of the nostalgia as well. 488 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.039 So any of what's my whole podcast network is MAT's all the stuff exactly 489 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.720 Like if anyone puts in some you know, when you see something, you're 490 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.559 like, man, I forgot all about that, and it like takes you 491 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.519 back to a time period. And that's what I enjoy about the memes, 492 00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:00.359 Like, that's what I enjoy about seeing any kind of stagia references takes you 493 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.799 back to it such a comforting time in your life. That's why I think 494 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.160 that's why we just love the Simpsons so much. It's just like you know, 495 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.359 it was, It's just been there our entire lives. Like you're thirty 496 00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:12.519 three, the Simpsons has always been around. You know, well what I'm 497 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.960 sure introduction to it? Do you remember, well, I know how I 498 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:21.119 said earlier, how I sort of apparently I saw the Simpsons Trioso one We're 499 00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:22.240 making it to the Knife out of the Draw, the Bad dream House. 500 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.319 And I don't remember that at all. I was too young. I was 501 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:26.440 like two or three. Someone was like, you can't watch the Simpsons to 502 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.799 your six. But my earliest memories is going to like video easy and seeing 503 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.440 like remember those I've got them in here? The I go go one, 504 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:34.160 hey, one second, I'll show you might be able to remember these? 505 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:37.720 Yeah, do you remember these videotapes? Be able to run from the shop 506 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.200 for sure? Man? Yeah, the white cover Simpsons collection one so they 507 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.640 were like, yeah, first time I remember seeing the Simpsons, like they 508 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:47.680 look cool, and I were like renting one and I didn't realize i'd rented 509 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:48.960 one. And it's like it was a huge deal that I was allowed to 510 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.039 watch the Simpsons. But that's my earliest memory of the Simpsons as seeing the 511 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:56.119 videotapes at Video Easy. What about you? Oh man, I don't remember, 512 00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:02.160 like I can't pinpoint a specific memory. It's just six PM, week 513 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:03.480 night, Channel ten mate. That was. That was the memory. I 514 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.200 know. We had like a bunch of vhs just recorded off the TV, 515 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:10.720 just episodes recorded off the TV. Are they're the best. I've still got 516 00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:12.599 a couple of mine and it's like, you know, you got something still 517 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.599 got the ads in it and stuff. It's just so nostalgic. Just do 518 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.920 you know what I would give to have some of the throwback episodes just to 519 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.279 watch the ads alone, not even for the Simpsons episodes, but to watch 520 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:25.880 the ads. Yeah, oh man, I'd give anything for that, the 521 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.039 ads in between all the ads of the Simpsons though. Do you mean just 522 00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.640 the ads in between? No, just the ads just like the generic throwback 523 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.880 like Australia ads. I do it all the time you go on YouTube, 524 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.839 you type like nineteen ninety five Australian commercials and it's just like you with it, 525 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.559 Like the commercials like pick apart, pick Apart, rehober that and things 526 00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.680 like that. Man, do you remember how sick the yoga commercials were? 527 00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:48.480 Holy shit? Man? Yeah, like just mini episodes they were. It 528 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.880 was like the big bang thing was just like clips and the machine all together. 529 00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:53.079 It's an actual fucking movie. Like I'll get back to your barrying things 530 00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:57.240 like that. Yeah, that was sick. Yeah, someone needs to make 531 00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:00.640 a Yogo based Simpsons me. I think that's one. Think that's one of 532 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:01.880 your ideas need to work on. I could tap into that for sure. 533 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:07.000 Yeah, because those kind of things people just that you see it and you're 534 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:09.599 like, holy shit, that was my childhood. You know. Well. 535 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:13.680 The other thing about those tapes too, is I remember going to kmart. 536 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.440 Do you remember how they'd have kind of the theme tapes were too hot for 537 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:21.279 TV or I've got them all behind me here. Yeah yeah. Yeah. 538 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:25.279 So it was like four episodes per tape and they were like twenty five bucks 539 00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:29.640 for a VHS that came out thirty dollars. Yeah, I've still got the 540 00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:31.440 price tag on my on my VHS. We paid thirty bucks for four episodes, 541 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:34.759 mate. For That's the thing, though, man, is that no 542 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:39.599 wonder you remember this shit verbatim? Because four episodes for twenty five thirty dollars 543 00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:44.400 you're watching the funk out of there, like you're spamming that. I said 544 00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.920 to like people who didn't grow up in our ear. It's just like when 545 00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:50.599 your mom bought you a fucking videotape. You had four tapes and that was 546 00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.640 your summer, and you watch those same fucking movies over and over again. 547 00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:57.480 Do you know what's so funny? Man? It's like the shot Like the 548 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:02.359 shows of my childhood were kind of of the Simpsons, Seinfeld, South Park, 549 00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:07.519 Malcolm in the Middle, and Friends and people. Friends just kind of 550 00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:10.559 treated like a punchline. Now it's kind of like the nickelback of TV shows 551 00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:14.480 where it's like, oh, yeah, it's funnier than Friends, blah blah 552 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:19.720 blah. I was like that right until I started doing the podcast with my 553 00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.279 wife and I was like, fuck, that's right. I used to really 554 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.880 liked this show. Why was I shitting on it? It's like I just 555 00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:29.960 became a sheep? Ah, man, it's like, look, I don't 556 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.599 know how i'd go watching it as a first time viewer through the lens of 557 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:39.720 a thirty three year old, but nostalgia defeats everything, and I grew up 558 00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:43.880 on it, Like Jennifer Anistill was like my first crash. I remember from 559 00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.160 what she was like with Brad Pitt. Yeah, I remember like having a 560 00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:51.759 dream that they adopted me. That's how much I just wanted to be involved. 561 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.880 And then I remember, like, I had this this notebook, and 562 00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:00.319 I had a stick figure drawing of me and her holding hands and I cut 563 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:04.160 out of her head and I'm like, you know, it sounds romantic and 564 00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.039 sweet, but if I saw that image now of like her cut out head, 565 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:09.440 I'm like, this is impossibly creepy to look at. Imagine if you 566 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.639 told her that story in person, she'd be backing through the hedges. Mate, 567 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:19.239 Yeah, with shit Homer disappearing. Yeah, there's no why, There's 568 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.360 no way I would do that. But see Friends for my wife is what 569 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.679 the Simpsons, I say, was for me. So like my wife, 570 00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:28.280 she puts Friends on every day. She just watches it on loop from start 571 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.639 to finish and goes back to the start, right it's just it's her comfort 572 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:32.480 food, comfort to me. Right. I found since I started doing the 573 00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:36.239 podcast, I don't watch The Simpsons anywhere as much as I used to. 574 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:38.280 Like the Simpsons just used to always be on in my house. When I 575 00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.679 went to bed, I'd put the commentaries on the dvna's it was just always 576 00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.599 Simpson, Simpsons, Simpsons found Sins. I did the podcast, it almost 577 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:49.199 feels like it's become work for me. But it's like I try to dissociate 578 00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.320 from the show now because it's I see there's a bit of work, and 579 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:54.119 that's sad because I've got like a five year old and a two year old. 580 00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:57.800 But what I've started doing now is I've started introducing them to the show, 581 00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:59.920 to the point where they're now saying, can I watch the Simpsons. 582 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.599 I'm like, oh, the world's all good again, you know. Well, 583 00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:07.239 that's almost like why like New Simpsons Cops all the ship it does. 584 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:12.679 But I was only talking to my wife yesterday about how I wanted to go 585 00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.320 for as long as I'm alive, because I feel like the day that they 586 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.159 end, it will be such a bittersweet moment for me, just knowing that 587 00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:22.639 it's still continuing is like special to me. I don't want it to ever 588 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.119 end. I don't care how much it diminishes in quality. I don't want 589 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.719 it to ever stop. I like knowing that it's there. Everyone's the same 590 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:32.039 way, everyone in our age is just like, even if you might not 591 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:35.239 watch the show as often as you did, just know it's kind of like 592 00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:37.000 you know your grandma or yeah, yeah, and uncle that you don't see 593 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.079 it that often. You know it might only seem at Christmas time, but 594 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:42.440 just knowing that he's going to be there at Christmas time makes you happy, 595 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.079 sure, for sure. So yeah, I also hope they never go. 596 00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:50.039 I do feel like eventually they might just transition to being maybe like a Disney 597 00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.840 Plus exclusive show or something. I don't know. At this point, I 598 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:57.679 don't even know how it ended. It'll never be. It never be considered 599 00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.039 a good ending, like you've never ended What's are though. It's such a 600 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.679 rare It's like you're chasing something that's so impossible to achieve when like you've been 601 00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:07.519 on a series for as long as that. I don't know how he'd ever 602 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:13.239 come up with an ending that's going to satisfy and be unanimously praised. I 603 00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.840 don't mind Al Jean's idea that he put out several years ago now where it 604 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:21.599 was like it'll end with them going to watch the school play at Christmas time. 605 00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:23.639 So basically the show just becomes a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 606 00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:27.000 I think that's probably the best way, right, because they're stuck in 607 00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:31.039 a time of anyway. Yeah, and it's the other I like a little 608 00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:37.000 bit off track, but you know how there's that real elitist view of season 609 00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:42.079 two to nine. That's all I watch season two Golden era. Yeah, 610 00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:45.920 yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean if you're not watching season ten to 611 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:50.280 even twenty, you're missing out on so much good content. Like season ten 612 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:54.760 alone, for me is still peak Simpsons, but even twenty through to thirty, 613 00:36:54.800 --> 00:37:00.840 they're still like even bad Simpsons is better than a lot of new content. 614 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.360 Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, compared to some of the ship 615 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:06.440 that's out there. Yeah, it's still enjoyable. The only problem that I 616 00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:09.079 like, the only thing that I slightly struggled with with new New Simpsons, 617 00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:15.000 it's just some of the voices. Yeah, like March it's becoming man, 618 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:20.519 Julie Cavra, it's rough. Nicholas, my wife, she's like, when 619 00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:27.360 did they replace Marge. I'm like, they haven't. Yeah, I don't 620 00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:30.079 know. What is your wife? Is she a big Simpsons fan? Like, 621 00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:32.039 how does she feel about being part of your memes? She, I 622 00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:37.320 wouldn't say a big Simpsons fan. She definitely enjoys the Simpsons. She's a 623 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.960 dragon ball Z fan. Okay, to this day, I haven't seen on 624 00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:44.920 an episode of dragon ball Z, so that's her thing. I'm kind of 625 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.400 similar. Even though I was the guy that helped launch the Cheese TV facebook 626 00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.800 page, I used to love Cheese TV, so like i'd see it on, 627 00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:53.159 but I just never got into dragon ball I collected the little discs that 628 00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:57.239 used to get in the Smith chips, but I never actually watched the show. 629 00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:00.199 Say with Pokemon, I never really got into like the whole anime thing. 630 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:02.920 But I was a cheese TV kid growing up, so like this is 631 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:07.719 about this is twenty sixteen. I had on on a podcast, Ryan, 632 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:09.519 because you would watch chea TV right back in the day. Sure, sure, 633 00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:13.039 sure, yeah. I had Ryan on and I was like, uh, 634 00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:15.679 what it sucks that you can't watch the old episodes and He's like, 635 00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:19.800 oh, I own pretty much every episode on VHS, just a production tape 636 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.719 and I was like, excuse me, and he goes, yeah, yeah, 637 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:23.559 they just all my back shehd. I'm like, what do you mean. 638 00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:25.360 He goes, yeah, I've got about five hundred tapes out there, 639 00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:30.440 and I'm like, send them to me and let's monetize this. Birs. 640 00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:34.920 We did that and then yeah, it was just like hearing that cheese TV 641 00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:37.599 theme music. Like you said earlier, it just takes you back sometimes, 642 00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:39.039 like you think of old TV shows, You're like, I love that show, 643 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:43.639 when really you love the theme music that's what you love. Yeah, 644 00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:46.159 yeah, yeah, for sure. Man. There's like even now there's some 645 00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:52.519 remember like funny Bones mm hmm, her friends shipped the Shore. That intro 646 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:57.800 slaps that ship. The short intro goes harder than it has any right to 647 00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:00.599 know. I never write what about bad? I remember Babba the Elephant of 648 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:04.199 course. Yeah, that's like I put it on the other day and I 649 00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:07.480 was like, oh my heart. Yeah, like some times I'll just go 650 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.760 down a rabbit hole just watching the intros to certain shows from my childhood, 651 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:14.639 and you just just smile the whole time, don't you. For sure, 652 00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.639 Yeah it's the best, and that's what the Simpsons does. It just makes 653 00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:20.280 you smile because it reminds you of being a kid, being like eight. 654 00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:22.920 No, Thursday afternoon, six pm. Your parents are watching the news. 655 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.679 You're in the other room watching the Simpsons. Funnily enough, man, I 656 00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:29.400 was saying about, like one of the shows in my childhood was south Park. 657 00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:34.239 To this day, I have a memory of I had never wanted to 658 00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:37.840 see something as much as I wanted to see the south Park movie. But 659 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.599 I was ten when it came out, ye, and it was in the 660 00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:45.239 theaters the same time as Star Wars episode one, and so my dad and 661 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:50.679 my brother went and saw south Park and you did the swift Yeah, no, 662 00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:53.199 no, I had to go see Star Wars. My loss is kind 663 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:57.679 of cool, like, you know, like Darth Maul's got his double savings 664 00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:00.800 kind So I saw that a few times, but like it eventually turned into 665 00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:08.039 wearing my dad down until we eventually broke and let me see the movie because 666 00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:10.639 it was just every day, relentless. I need to see the south Park 667 00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:19.159 movie movie. Legit, Man, just worring down. I just watched the 668 00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.639 thing. I wasn't allowed to watch it. I wasn't en suposed watch South 669 00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:24.360 Bike. I used to have to, like had a TV in my room, 670 00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:28.880 so like nine to thirty Monday nights, I am I'm watching Channel seven, 671 00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:34.239 SBS, SBS turned Man at a certain time of night too, like 672 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:40.079 you don't know what's going to come on? Erotic Tails, mate, Yeah, 673 00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:44.599 Erotic Tails and Champagne Comedy. They were like the two things that I 674 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.039 remember well. Champagn Comedy on Channel thirty one that was like a local Victorian 675 00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:51.920 station where it was just like up and coming comedians, which are always terrible, 676 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:55.480 but I remember like it was like we'd have Win Southern Cross, ABC 677 00:40:55.599 --> 00:41:00.800 and SBS, and then it was like it was like the gab scene Gabble 678 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:06.599 Gabbo where it was like channel ten's coming, we have we have fuck olwen 679 00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:09.840 Ober. So we would get like the idea of a fifth channel was crazy 680 00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:14.039 when we need the channel? When did you get ten? I thought, 681 00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:15.119 I just assumed we always had. It was no, no, no, 682 00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:19.719 no no. I was like fourteen, and we had to go buy a 683 00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:23.960 set top box to install into the TV so you could get the additional channel. 684 00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:28.559 And then ten came on and that's when we really got the Simpsons because 685 00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:31.960 I had a couple like my childhood best friend he had Oz star in his 686 00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:36.880 room, which was like a game changer. So you stayed there on the 687 00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:39.800 weekends and you'd have your Fox Simpsons marathons from like nine to midday, nine 688 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:44.159 to twelve. Super Simpsons weekends was like the highlight of my childhood. It 689 00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:46.000 was altimate, man, just like we used to his laying bed. His 690 00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:51.679 mum would bring us just an infinite loop of vegimiteites and we just spammed the 691 00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.119 symptoms. It was the best. That's like the most ouzzy thing ever, 692 00:41:54.320 --> 00:42:00.199 like vegemite toes and just spamming The Simpsons every weekend as a mess. So 693 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:04.840 yeah, I lived for that. So yeah it was great. Well, 694 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.000 man, I know it's been fun chatting to you. I know you've got 695 00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:07.679 work to do, so better let you go. But before we go, 696 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:09.880 I've honest that the new thing I sent you the question? Right, did 697 00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:14.239 you get the question about the marathon? So I'll ask the question like like 698 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:15.880 you didn't know, all right, So you don't know this question. So 699 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:20.239 it's nineteen ninety eight, you've been giving control of Channel ten. You've actually 700 00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:23.320 got Channel ten now in Tasmania, and it's Friday night and you're going to 701 00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:28.280 put together a five episodes Simpsons marathon. What are you putting on? I 702 00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:32.800 had to actually my OCD brain struggled with this, so I'll preface it with 703 00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:39.679 My favorite episode of all time is probably the Homer They Fall where he fights 704 00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:45.639 Tradaic Tatum. Well you're a boxing coach now, right, So it was 705 00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:50.000 like encompassed everything I liked about The Simpsons. It's season eight, my favorite 706 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.320 animation, the boxing content. Traderic Tatum is my Instagram handle. I have 707 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:58.679 kid presampable tatooed on me. Really, yeah, where is it? It's 708 00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:00.239 on my calf, so it's a bit hard anyway. Yeah, okay, 709 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:04.320 yeah, but that's one of the best of all And finally a kid bo 710 00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:09.320 Yeah exactly. Man and my wife had like this custom art made for me 711 00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:14.800 where it's me ring side watching home and get destroyed next to Abe. And 712 00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:17.639 so that's my favorite episode of all time. The why Can't We Be Friends? 713 00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:22.440 It is one of my favorite Simpsons gags of all time. Oh yeah, 714 00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:25.000 the walkout. Yeah, it's just unbelievable, so good. It's so 715 00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:30.400 good. But I'd have to put cape fear because I feel like you got 716 00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:35.440 to have like a side show Bob episode. That's the iconic one Home of 717 00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:38.320 the Great and that kind of encompasses like it's got a musical compartment in it. 718 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:45.320 Yep. I think who shot mister Burns? Part one and two has 719 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:47.920 to be together. And I think, honestly, Man, that is such 720 00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:52.880 a fantastic that could have been a movie. It felt like a movie. 721 00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:58.000 Yeah, I'm too young to remember the mystery of like the Cliffhanger. I'm 722 00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.000 too young. I lived at Man. One of my earliest, one of 723 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:04.800 my favorite memories is my sister and I sitting there with a notepad in my 724 00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.760 because my parents were watching something and I remember like part two was coming up, 725 00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:09.760 so we were going to find out who did it. And we spent 726 00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:13.119 like all the time in between trying to work out who did it. We 727 00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.760 had our little notepads. We spent over the summer or whatever it was winter 728 00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:17.199 trying to work out who did it, and rem my parents' room because I 729 00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.519 was watching something in the living room. I was sitting there was so excited. 730 00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:22.360 I thought it was Smithers. I was. I was certain it was 731 00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:24.159 Smithers, even though that was obviously never going to be Smithers. But I 732 00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:29.679 remember sitting there and the genuine excitement and anticipation. It's hard to describe how 733 00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:32.599 exciting it was. It was just like a major event of your childhood. 734 00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:37.440 Did you have any idea that it would have been Maggie? No one had 735 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:40.199 any idea. No one did. Apparently they've said that there was like one 736 00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:45.199 guy in like the forums, because the Simpsons showrunners and the writers used to 737 00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.519 bruise all the forums online back when internet was in its early days, and 738 00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:51.159 there was one guy who said, I reckon it was Maggie and they could 739 00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:52.360 never find out who it was. And still to this day they've never found 740 00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:57.599 out who it was. But only one person ever genuinely guessed Maggie and put 741 00:44:57.599 --> 00:44:59.880 it in a public forum. No one else guessed it carec You remember the 742 00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:05.559 there's a pretty famous imagery of the odds that's fake. I knew it was 743 00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:08.440 going to be fake. Yeah, anything that cool is going to be fake. 744 00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:12.039 I mean it's nice to imagine, though, isn't it. It's just 745 00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.960 like, yeah, apparently that's all fake. Yeah, well shit, forget 746 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:19.760 that then. But that's that's what it felt like though, Like it was 747 00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:22.239 so it was such a big event for kids that you would believe that that 748 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:25.039 was genuinely happening because the Simpsons were huge. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 749 00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:30.360 yeah. I think that's such a great Part one and part two. Springfield 750 00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:36.280 Files is my favorite. And I'm not even the biggest X Files mark but 751 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.320 the crossover is so well done. It's in my top five of all time. 752 00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:44.000 I'm a big sci fi fan. So okay, well man, you 753 00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:47.519 know when Homer steps off the bus and a violin orchestra is playing, Yeah, 754 00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:51.559 I was like the most terrified child. I was scared of everything, 755 00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:53.320 and I remember that scared me. I was like, oh, it was 756 00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:59.840 kind of creepy. Component in that episode is in the woods have creepy violin 757 00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.199 that X Files music signifies be scared when you were a child. That's like 758 00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:09.840 in terms of generating a feel, that's one of the best intro songs, 759 00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:15.039 like the perfectly captured the vibe of the show. The X Files music is 760 00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.719 so good. You know when you go like skip credits, you never skip 761 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:22.320 credits for the X Files team Nah nah for sure, or shipped the shore 762 00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:29.920 or I was going to say you need a Threehouse of Horror one. I 763 00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:34.440 was going to say probably three House Horror six. I really like the Groundscaper 764 00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:38.280 Willie Freddy Krueger concept. That was the first new Simpsons I was ever allowed 765 00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:42.880 to watch after the band ended, And I remember being so excited mentioned this 766 00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:45.039 last week's show because we did like the most gruesome deathcoltry House of Horror. 767 00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:49.519 But I remember sitting there. I remember like Homer three D right and now 768 00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:52.559 advertising a channel of ten, like The Simpsons will be in three D this 769 00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:54.559 week. So here's like fucking seven year old me sitting there with my red 770 00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:58.800 and blue glasses on before the show starts, thinking it was going to be 771 00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:00.039 in three D. But that's not what they meant. But you know, 772 00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:04.599 like in the nineties, three D meant red and blue glasses. Yeah, 773 00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:07.920 yeah, for sure, man, I was going to say that, But 774 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:13.400 I feel like i'd put in probably twenty two the twenty two short films. 775 00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:15.679 That's my favorite episode of all time because just think it just signifies Springfield as 776 00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:17.800 a whole, doesn't it. It just shows you a real insight into the 777 00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:24.559 Springfield community. It captures everything too. It's the most quotable. Every single 778 00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:30.199 segment of that is a meme in itself, like the most iconic episode in 779 00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:35.199 terms of what it produced. But the Steamed Hands alone is the same thing 780 00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:37.800 pulp fiction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that being one of my 781 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:42.280 favorite movies makes it even better. Yeah. As a kid, though I 782 00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:44.280 had never seen pop fictions, I was like, I don't know what's going 783 00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:45.239 on here. It's funny, but I don't get it. And then when 784 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:47.800 you get older, you're like, oh shit, this is awesome, funny 785 00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:53.639 man, because we only we just sat through Twin Peaks and so I'd never 786 00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:58.800 seen that. And then when it's like the yeah, I never understood that 787 00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:02.199 referenced but now again, especially where he's like, brilliant, I have no 788 00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:06.199 idea what's going on. That's how I felt pretty much to the entire duration, 789 00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:09.719 so very relatable content. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So is 790 00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:13.599 that your marathon set? That would be my marathon. Yeah, that'd be 791 00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:15.239 a pretty good marathon. Yeah. There was something about, like it's hard 792 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:20.559 to describe to a kid now the idea of a marathon and how exciting it 793 00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:22.199 was. You know, you're at school, You're like, oh, it's 794 00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:23.960 gonna be a Simpsons marathon tonight. I can't wait. Like, you get 795 00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:27.760 your videotap, you put it on long plays so you can take longer. 796 00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:30.199 You know, you fit all the episodes on the one vhah. Yeah, 797 00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:31.920 yeah, yeah. Marathons, they're just they're a dying breed, now, 798 00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:35.880 aren't they. All the people do people's binge watching now binge watches like the 799 00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:38.400 modern day marathon. Well, that's how I feel about video stores. Man. 800 00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:45.280 The nothing was more exciting as a young teenager going to the video store 801 00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:52.440 selecting your perfect five or six movies and then coming home and just like knowing 802 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:57.679 that You've got this sick lineup of movies waiting for you. But like as 803 00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:00.280 much as I'm nostalgic for it, you still wouldn't want to go back to 804 00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:02.840 that with the accessibility that we have now. Yeah, it's I mean, 805 00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:07.000 if they opened up a video store now, I'd probably go there, like 806 00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:09.480 occasionally, just for the nostalgia factor, you know, with people that still 807 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:13.920 watch the vhs like they would just like they've gone on blue ray, but 808 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.239 for the nosnaalgia, they'll watch it on VHS. I'm not I do that 809 00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:21.719 very sometimes, maybe once or twice a year, because I've got like the 810 00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:23.880 old VH. I've got like Jaws on VHS and like Dressy Park and stuff, 811 00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:27.000 and I've got the old box television cause I've got like my old like 812 00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:30.679 Nintendo Serpa and stuff like Duck Hunt, and they work best with the old 813 00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:31.960 school TV. So that's why I've got the old school TV. So I'm 814 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:35.920 like, and you put it on, you like, how the fuck did 815 00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:37.920 I ever think this was like good quality? It's like, is it rough? 816 00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:40.760 I haven't seen vhas quality in forever, man, So is it a 817 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:46.800 rock? I mean it's it's not great. And like the TV loud the 818 00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:52.000 Big Box. Turn it on.
