00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:04.559
You seemed like a nice guy.
Why'd they put you in here? Because

2
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:08.439
they were a pink shirt? I
understand people thought I was crazy for the

3
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.320
way I dressed. What'd you wear? One white glove covered with Ryan Stars?

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:34.560
Four Finger Discount, dude, Welcome
to four Finger Discount, where this

5
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.600
week we're here to review an episode
that's no longer exists. Stuck raving Dad.

6
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.679
I'm Dando, and I am the
big white guy who thinks he's the

7
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.200
little black guy. No, just
call me guy. You do like your

8
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.079
soul and everything? Now that,
yeah? I do. Indeed, what

9
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.159
jazz instrument would you play if you
were a jazz musician? Because you're a

10
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.679
very Miles Davis Askue fan, aren't
you? I am so. I like

11
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.479
to think I would be a trumpet
guy, although a sax guy would not

12
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.880
be bad either. DP of pants, that's the question. I was peeing

13
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.959
my pants before it was cool?
Yeah? Yeah, Wor's we all well?

14
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.879
And we'll get you to continue to
do so after it stopped for Yeah?

15
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.120
Yeah? Yeah. What was the
point where you realize I don't care

16
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.640
if I'm not cool anymore. I'm
waiting way past that now. But there

17
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.159
is a point I think it's maybe
in your like mid to late twenties where

18
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.000
you go, I'm no longer like
you go out to a night club.

19
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.079
I think it's the first thing to
go to a nightclub and you realize these

20
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.000
people are like ten years younger than
me. I'm the old guy to them.

21
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.439
Now, that's where you start going. I give a ship. Yeah,

22
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.640
it took a little while beyond the
twenties. It was my thirties.

23
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.519
Yeah, I think when I because
I think when I became a dad,

24
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.359
it was for me. I'm a
dad now, so it's okay to be

25
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.959
uncol when you're a dad, right, Oh I imagine. So yeah,

26
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.920
so I don't have kids, so
I'm what's your excuse. I'm constantly searching

27
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.280
for validation from the young generation.
Have I got the Riz kids? I've

28
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.719
got the Riz right, and the
future is now old man? Yeah,

29
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:59.079
no, no, you're right.
Oh yeah, I'd probably be a trumpet

30
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:04.319
player, maybe a saxonist. The
Lovely Louise's youngest son, musical prodigy Felix,

31
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.360
recently got his own saxophone over the
weekend. He was very happy with

32
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:13.479
It's got inscriptions on it and up
here hearing his infernal tootling on it.

33
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.560
I was like, oh man,
I mean I wish I was more musical.

34
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.800
I mean, I clearly have a
lovely singing voice. As listeners of

35
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:25.400
the podcast will know, that was
a juke FIV see tune. There's plenty

36
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:32.159
of them. But no, I
think I I like, I like the

37
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.520
idea of a trump but it just
seems like a small compact instrument. You

38
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.240
know, you're not having to lug
a whole. But you mean you a

39
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.639
tuba player, Nicholas A saxophonist.
Is that a saxophonist? Saxophone saxophonist,

40
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.319
saxophonists. Yeah, she's writer.
Remember she's great at it. Yeah,

41
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:47.960
she plays a lion because when she
was the first thing she learned was to

42
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.879
play the Lion king songs on the
saxophone. Yeah, she created it,

43
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.800
so you'll you'll get the occasional hakuna
matata. Yeah. Wow, she's very

44
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.759
musical. Nicola, very very very
talented. My wife, as is your

45
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.919
your lovely Louise your part, Well, her great talent was finding a good

46
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.520
boyfriend. Now you know who was
very talented and still is is the Al

47
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.520
Jean, the Simpsons showrunner. Look
you're about to say, Michael Jackson's like,

48
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.240
is there something you know that?
And Mike Reese, who took over

49
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.960
from the show at the beginning of
season three. This was their first episode

50
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:23.199
that went to air. They people
fans of The Simpsons say that the Golden

51
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.919
Era started with this episode with season
three. However, unfortunately, after they

52
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.000
is of Finding Neverland, the documentary
they came out a few years ago.

53
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.840
I think that's what it's called,
maybe Leaving Leaving Neverland, the movie is

54
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.919
Finding It, that's right, Leaving
Neverland came out, and all the allegations

55
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.400
that Michael Jackson with you know,
we've all we all know that the details

56
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.319
which had been circulating for a fair
while before that documentary came out before these

57
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.240
two young men in particular went on
the record. Yeah, there's a reason

58
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.680
they called him wacko Jacko, right, and then Al Jean I'm sure Mike

59
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.759
Reese as well, but Al Jean's
one went on the recorder saying, we

60
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.360
took this out of circulation. This
episode no longer available on streaming or on

61
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.159
free to air what you call it
our syndication, Yeah, because we or

62
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:10.360
he believes that Michael Jackson used this
episode to groom kids and when I had

63
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.800
never seen this until you sent it
to me in preparation for this episode.

64
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.960
I never thought about it that way. I've always seen it as a bit

65
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.040
of a tragedy that this episode has
been taken off the air because of it

66
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.399
felt like a snap judgment. All
this documentary is coming out, we don't

67
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.720
want to be affiliated with it.
Let's pull the episode. We don't want

68
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.800
the Simpsons to be thrown in like
Michael Jackson was once on The Simpsons.

69
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.399
Let's quick, let's pull it away
from circulation. He has gone on the

70
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.759
record it was worth the Daily Beast, the interview al Jean where he says,

71
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.480
I have no proof, it's just
my gut feeling that he would have

72
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.000
used this to groom kids. I'm
not saying he's right or wrong. It's

73
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.879
still a shame to we've lost the
episode, but I can understand now why

74
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.560
it no longer exists because the guy
who created it feels dirty. Oh yeah,

75
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.079
it feels complicit, and it's a
shame that that happened. I was

76
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.319
surprised there's anyone to read that piece. By all that interview with Algene,

77
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.480
I hadn't really heard about it until
I'll just the link for the interview in

78
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.839
the description of this because it's not
all about that, but they use that

79
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.600
as the headline. Let's hook you
in with this, that's right. I

80
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.839
think the reporter who did it it
is a bit of a Marck breaker.

81
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:10.040
And yes, I'm not a huge
fan, but yeah, the gist of

82
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.439
that article is about season three and
about the sort of the birth of the

83
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.680
Golden age of the Simpsons. Yeah, but this is certainly comes up.

84
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.399
And Algae is not the only guy
to talk about it. I mean James

85
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.079
L. Brooks has also gone on
the record and saying, look, I'm

86
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.160
not for book burning, I'm not
for censorship, but I think of it

87
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.480
as this is our book. I
created it, and we're entitled to take

88
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.839
a chapter out of it if we
choose to do so. Clear they chose

89
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.079
to do so. Now there's still
a means to get access to the episode.

90
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.000
I'm holding up here, as you'll
see, if you're watching this show

91
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.160
right now, hold up to the
camera the season three box set. And

92
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.439
it was so lovely to pull out
the box set. It felt like,

93
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:46.879
and I know all the othergations that
are going around. I understand why it's

94
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.639
to the episode off, but it
was so nice putting this episode, and

95
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.560
I think I've watched it for ten
fifteen years. It was like seeing an

96
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.399
old friend, as weird as that
may sound, because it's got the whole

97
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.240
MJA sort of taint to it now, but I just went, oh,

98
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.720
it's write this episod, So it's
like rediscovering it again. I hadn't watched

99
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.399
it for so long, and it's
just a shame that, Like, for

100
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.839
example, Alliott now he started watching
The Simpsons a bit bit more often,

101
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.000
younger generations now won't really know the
episode exist unless their parents say this one

102
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.360
exists too. Then it might be
incumbent on parents and say, oh,

103
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.160
they may say why can't I see
it on Disney Plus or why can't I

104
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.639
see it? And by any other
means, and then you've got to but

105
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.560
then you've got all the other They
put a little stinger at the start of

106
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.279
a Laddin and things like that,
saying that doesn't reflect us. But I

107
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.480
guess there's nothing in the episode that
reflects poorly. As how the episode they

108
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.079
he al Jean and James Brooks feel
it might have been used. That's why

109
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.199
they've taken it down. So it's
a different Yeah, that's right. I

110
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:45.199
mean, there's no sort of retrograde
racism, no tobacco depictions, seeing a

111
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.560
lot of a lot of tobacco depictions
in front of recent episodes of certain things.

112
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.360
I don't have the box set that
you do. I had to obtain

113
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.560
my copy of Star Graving dad By. Well let's say it rhymes with Birasy.

114
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.199
Well there's a guy. I can't
remember who it was, but could

115
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.600
I posted about it on our Twitter
at four finger pot if you want to

116
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:09.279
follow us on Twitter because you can't
follow us on Facebook anymore. This is

117
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.319
still happening at four figure discount on
Instagram as well. And we're gonna get

118
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.720
into TikTok happening at four finger discount
on TikTok's well, that's all right,

119
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.160
there's a we're ticking now. We're
talking fifty something year old man on TikTok.

120
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.879
That's what the kids are tuning,
ol Gene, we'll not be watching

121
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.560
what was I? He put the
full episode on Twitter because Twitter is this

122
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.079
is a free for all now,
there's no copyright, there's nothing, so

123
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.360
you can watch it for a friend
on Twitter. If you just said a

124
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.360
lot of things are coming up on
Twitter it's like, you'll see this posting.

125
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.759
Oh fuck it, here's the full
movie of such and such. It

126
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.959
just came out, so you know
it'll be on pirate bayeah and I'm just

127
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.360
uploaded to Twitter hang around forever.
It's crazy. Here's the whole movie of

128
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.560
the flash. I'm like, I've
got no desire to watch this, but

129
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.480
what it's there? Yeah, daddy, elon, you're not taking it down.

130
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.480
What's going on? Freedom of speech, baby, that's true. Piracy

131
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.920
be star grabbing. Dad. Do
you think it's sad that it's been removed

132
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:03.800
from circulation. It's sad, but
it's understandable. I think it's probably the

133
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.279
best way to put it right.
Going back to what mister Brooks said.

134
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.879
You look, they wrote the book
they're in told to take a chapter out

135
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.480
of it. I think for a
show that is ostensibly a family show,

136
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:24.120
yeah, it may raise too many
awkward questions. And I understand where el

137
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.519
Gene is coming from as well in
that feeling and complicity that they may have

138
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.360
had something to do with the grooming
of children. Yeh, the grooming of

139
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.000
children. And you don't want your
name attached to that, I mean,

140
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.279
you just it would give you the
ick but I had never heard anybody throw

141
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.240
that out there until he pitched that. So if he had never said that,

142
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.360
would you have ever assumed that,
would you ever have gone, you

143
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.279
know what? He might have used
this to groomed children. Was that mentioned

144
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.440
in the doco? I don't think
it was. Was it? I don't

145
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.639
think so. No, I mean
I can recall anyway. No, No,

146
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.360
I mean I remember watching the Neverland
documentary when it came out. I

147
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.159
wrote a piece about it for or
for the Music magazine when I was doing

148
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.039
my column for that didn't sound of
like a debunk. I was saying they

149
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.440
met at a certain place, and
that place wasn't built at the time in

150
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.759
which they said it was going to
be there or something. I think you

151
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.840
had a lot of amateur sleuths going, well, this doesn't add up,

152
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.840
and this doesn't scan. There's no
wind on the moon. It really felt

153
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.919
like grasping its straws in a lot
of ways. I'm kind of inclined to

154
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.799
take certain allegations and certain accusations with
a bit of a grain of salt and

155
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.879
until I get as much evidence as
possible. Watching the evidence of these two

156
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.039
about to say young men, I
mean they're still relatively young. I guess

157
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.559
when they were being interviewed for this
docer, it's like, I'm one hundred

158
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.879
percent buying this. You can't,
Well, you weren't there, so you

159
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:50.080
can't. Yeah. But these particular
recollections and the way they expressed themselves,

160
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.639
the way they what they recollected,
how they how they expressed that precise.

161
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.120
This feels very very precise, very
authentic, very authentic. It very lived

162
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.600
in. Yeah. So this interview
where he said about the glooming of children

163
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.679
was twenty nineteen. I don't think
he'd said it beforehand, because when did

164
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.120
the docco come out Finding Neverland or
Leaving Neverland? Sorry, hold to be

165
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.840
sometime in the I want to say, maybe twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,

166
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.879
Leaving Neverland twenty nights. It was
the same year, twenty five years ago.

167
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:18.759
I thought it was a lot longer
than that. Time keeps on slipping

168
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.080
into the future. Man. But
there's another point in the interview though,

169
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.360
where he the interviewer asks about how
Michael Jackson because he wrote the Happy Birthday

170
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.080
Lisa's song, great song. I
love the song, one of my favorite

171
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.960
Simpsons songs. It's a shame that
won't get used anymore, heard anymore.

172
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.559
But he brings up the do you
think there was something to the first kiss

173
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.200
from a boy? I'm thinking you're
really trying to find something here that's that's

174
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.639
great, that's big strung, that's
and I think al Jenevan said maybe.

175
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.080
I was like, no, no, no, no, no no,

176
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.799
that's just it felt like a year
ten student trying to like overanalyze a film

177
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.120
for an essay. You know,
it's he wrote us that it fits the

178
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.759
song. He wasn't trying to hide
a hidden agender about loving boys in this

179
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.240
song. It was just he was. It rhymes with joy, it rhymes

180
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.919
with joy, and it's yeah,
girls think about their first kiss from a

181
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.720
boy in not Anymore. But you
know, in nineteen ninety two, what

182
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.080
when this air? Yeah? Ever
since Katie Perry, it's all about kissing

183
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.679
girls. What's going on? Yeah? I don't think Michael Jackson spent hours

184
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.399
and hours coming up with the lyrics
to Happy Birthday Lisa. I'm pretty sure

185
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.639
this was sort of dashed up on
the back of the napkin. It felt

186
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.919
like it didn't really, but that
was the charm to it, because that's

187
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.399
what was supposed to have been sure, I guess up or not writing it,

188
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.720
but anyway, Yeah, But overall
though, I really enjoyed going back

189
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.840
and revisiting this episode. There's a
lot that goes into the behind the scenes

190
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.799
of it. It's really really interesting. So Matt Granning says that he was

191
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.960
working back late at the office one
night, which I'm sure I believe that

192
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.200
back Granny been the end of one
back up the office working the way.

193
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.039
But anyway, so he says,
and the phone rings, and it's Michael

194
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.159
Jackson saying I'd love to be a
guest on the show. First of all,

195
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.200
I'm not sure Michael Jackson would just
call up, but you know,

196
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.320
he says, that's what happened.
It makes for a good story, and

197
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.679
that he wanted to be a guest
and took me about a minute before he

198
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.799
actually believed him, which is what
they did in the show with Bart refusing

199
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.440
to leave Leon until after about a
minute or so. Absolutely, but yeah,

200
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.480
Michael Jackson calling up in the middle
of the night. Can I be

201
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.080
speaking Mad Green? I'm a big
fan of Simpsons. Yeah, I'm not

202
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.639
sure I buy that, but that's
the story they're going with. Anyway.

203
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.720
Have you watched that documentary about the
making of We Other World. It's on

204
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:20.559
Netflix at the moment. I've seen
clips of it. There was like three

205
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.679
weeks of negotiations and phone calls and
contracts and all this kind of stuff to

206
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.639
actually get that going on. I
doubt very much that Michael Jackson, as

207
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.799
you said, is calling up at
the middle of the night give me the

208
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:41.759
number for the Simpsons HQ the Rat's
Room. My apologies to anyone who's a

209
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.200
big MJ fan me doing this god
awful impersonation. Later on I to do

210
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:52.759
prints, but yeah, it strikes
me as very print the legend that Matt

211
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.080
Granning would say, first of all, I was working late in the office

212
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.600
one night. No, not happening. Secondly, then it's Michael Jackson.

213
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.480
He's like, no, it's not
happening. But let's cut out all the

214
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:11.000
did asking who his last four dates
of the Grammys were the one as well,

215
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.120
So okay, we've got mutually issued
distraction. But he did apparently he

216
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.279
did say to Matt that or one
of the one of the workers that he

217
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.840
wants to give bart a number one
single. So he wrote, do the

218
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.000
Bartman. Really, Michael Jackson won't
do the butt man. I didn't know

219
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.519
that. Really, I did not
know that. Yeah, yep, he

220
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.200
did. He is the He is
the writer of Everybody you can do the

221
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:35.600
Bartman. That was Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson, I'm on that bit from

222
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.320
south Park now, I know we
touched him. Children. It's Michael Jackson,

223
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.159
a taxon, It's Michael Jackson.
If you if you enjoy south Park,

224
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.759
check out out going down to south
Park podcast and all your good podcast

225
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:52.639
platforms. But apparently his conditions were
he couldn't sing. He could do the

226
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.200
spoken dialogue, but for some legal
reasons, he could do the singing.

227
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.039
But they said when they did the
first run through, he did sing the

228
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.799
songs and did everything, and they
there's a there's a rumor going around that

229
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.200
he recorded his versions of Happy Birthday
Lisa and all the other songs like Ben

230
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.279
when he sings Home, and at
the last minute they were replaced with the

231
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.080
mj Ones. So we'll never know
because they had Kick Lemon as the impersonate

232
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.039
answer. But apparently the sound guy
has said no, no, that that

233
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.159
never happened. I was like,
go with that man, Why ruined that

234
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.480
dream? Everybody? Just let's get
our story straight. Yeah, yeah,

235
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:31.000
don't don't ruin this legend. You
know, just if the legend was that

236
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.159
Michael Jackson wasn't allowed to at the
last minute, he slipped it in the

237
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.240
last second, that make him cool? Are we glad to say that he

238
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.960
was he was talented as a musician. Yeah, it's just it's weird.

239
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.519
It's weird as it been long enough. Now we can sort of talk about

240
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.600
him as a as a talent.
Or Yeah, this is something we were

241
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.600
talking about the other day, wasn't
it, because we started talking about various

242
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.039
canceled individuals. Yeah, and how
Yeah, sadly, there are a lot

243
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.159
out there who were very, very
good at what they did. This is

244
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:03.120
probably why they were able to reach
positions of influence or power where either they

245
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.639
were able to commit misdeeds or their
misdeeds could be swept under the rug.

246
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.559
Yeah. I mean a lot of
people who are now regarded as monsters being

247
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.279
punished for their crimes were actually pretty
good at what they did. Or it's

248
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.679
a I think we're talking sations.
We were talking about the people who are

249
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.840
associated with them. So for example, people saying we can't watch that movie

250
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.320
anymore, but what about all the
people that were working on that film who

251
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.080
put their blood, sweat and tears
into their role or behind the camera or

252
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:31.840
whatever it was of writing the movie. Now all their hard work is forgotten

253
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.039
about because of one individual. It's
it's a weird thing to it really is.

254
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.440
Yeah, I'm not a fan of
a cancelation for that. For that

255
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.080
reason, It's like, I don't
hire them going forward, but let's not

256
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.279
cancel everything that they were in previously, because that means everyone else who worked

257
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.039
on that project as well vantalized.
That's right, yeah, as have we.

258
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.639
I think someone with the magnitude of
talent and influence and I guess reach

259
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.120
that Michael Jackson had is never going
to be holy forgotten and there's always going

260
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.840
to be an asterisk next to their
name. It's like Thriller, you know,

261
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.000
biggest album of the nineteen eighties,
Michael Jackson, you know, incredible

262
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:12.799
run of Grammy Wins and all this
kind of business. Also accused of Mollestone

263
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:18.000
Couch. I did love the story
of they did the run through at Michael

264
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.159
Jackson's manager's house, and so they
said the first thing they've been through is

265
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:23.360
to Michael Jackson. The second time
they were there, to a lot record

266
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.159
or whatever, on the second run
through, and his other guy just walks

267
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.720
in, Kip Lemon. It's sings
of songs and I didn't tell the sims

268
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:30.720
of stuff that was gonna happen.
That was sort of going it is where

269
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.440
you sing, and Michael Jackson just
sat there silently, and this Kip leman

270
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.000
just bought into the room as I
was singing the songs, and they're like,

271
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.559
this is weird, what's going on
here? I would appreciate their heads

272
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.639
up on this one, Mike.
Apparently Dave caslen Netta was twenty minutes late

273
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.919
to it as well. Oh boy, which doesn't help. No, but

274
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.519
yeah, I would have loved if
he if he's even if his versions were

275
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.639
available somewhere, I'd love to hear
him singing the Lissa in It's such a

276
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.320
happy song, you know it is. It is very nice. I think

277
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.159
when you got to when you've got
a sister, I got a sister,

278
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.920
you want them to be happy.
I do. Having said this, bitches,

279
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.440
no, no, my beloved sister
Margot, who probably does not listen

280
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.759
to this podcast, I missed your
birthday, Margo. You missed it.

281
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.559
I did. It was Saturday and
I still haven't gotten in touch. I'm

282
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:21.519
sorry, my mom, Are you
serious? You've realized you forgotten? So

283
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:22.400
are you just scared to get in
touch now? Or what do you do?

284
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.119
Is it a case of your trying
to think of a present. It's

285
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.759
like memento I'm remembering every twenty minutes. That's like call Margot. And I

286
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:32.400
was like, but I've got other
stuff to do. I've got to record

287
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.160
this podcast. I've got other stuff
to do. Well, I know,

288
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.680
as soon as we're done here,
I'll be calling Margot. She's just sitting

289
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.440
there. Happy birthday, Margo.
She's just sit at the kitchen table the

290
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:48.079
party had on Happy Birthday, gotten
a bit of charm. My mom came

291
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.160
by the other day and said,
now, were you sick on the weekend?

292
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:52.319
I said, no, no,
lose had COVID. But now i'm

293
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.599
more aker because you missed Margot's birthday. You didn't call Margot. I'm like,

294
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.559
she must have complained to Margaret.
Mary's mum was probably like, how

295
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.960
did you hear? Remember? What
did I get you? Yeah? Well

296
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.400
you took her presence? No not
really, really, you're a shit brother.

297
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.440
Get me presents? Really? No? No, we're just more like,

298
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.119
have a call, send a card, milestone birthdays cards are insulting to

299
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.480
me. I'm not a fan of
greeting cards and birthday cards when you're a

300
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.960
little kid, so be it.
But I don't know, just a waste

301
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.720
of money. You can just write
that message. Do you kick the cards?

302
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.680
Not all? No, I don't
know. Just nick Nickola is my

303
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.119
wife for you viewers and listeners,
a huge fan of the card. If

304
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.240
I don't get her a card,
she's really really sad. I've just never

305
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.400
cared. I just I just feel
I'm spend an extra five bucks on my

306
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.279
present. Please, I don't want
a card. I wholly understand where you're

307
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:48.079
coming from. I mean, I'm
not necessarily someone who's like you forgot my

308
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.039
birthday or where's my card? Or
where's my friends? This may and this

309
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.200
will lead into something I want to
talk about in just a sec. But

310
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.359
I do feel bad that I haven't
contacted her at the very least. I

311
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.160
mean, I think we're we will
reach the stage because I mean, I'm

312
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.359
the youngest and I'm in my fifty
As as long as you feel bad,

313
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.440
that's all matters. That is all
that about. Now here's what I wanted

314
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.279
to talk about with this with this
episode. One thing that I didn't really

315
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:14.119
like. I don't like people putting
pressure on someone to celebrate their birthday.

316
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.680
I thought the same as well.
I get that Lisa has been forgotten time

317
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.920
and time again by Bart, but
it just felt a bit much of going,

318
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.400
well, I'm discerning you now you're
no longer my brother. It felt

319
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:26.920
a bit over the I get it, she's eight, I've got I've wrote

320
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.759
my notes. I understand she's over
dramatic. She's eight years old, so

321
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:32.880
you can understand an eight year old
wild feel this way. If an eight

322
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:34.880
year old had their birthday forgotten,
you can imagine they would respond this way.

323
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.759
But I didn't feel like you're pushing
it. It's like I never got

324
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.359
my sister or present. When I
was ten. My parents got a present

325
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.240
for my sister. I helped to
pick it out or whatever, but expecting

326
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.640
Bart to get her a present.
But I guess she only wanted one,

327
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.160
even it was just made, but
she just didn't really want He didn't want

328
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.599
to give her a present. Yeah, I'd realize that it has to happen

329
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.720
for the events of the story to
unravel as they do. Unfold as they

330
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.440
do. It's also if they had
nothing to do, nothing for it to

331
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.960
do. That's right, Yeah,
that's right. So for her to be

332
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.720
constantly pushing and almost committing this emotional
blackmail, when did you shut up?

333
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.200
Put a lot of shit going on
your Mark Jackson coming to the house.

334
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.680
But did margin Homer forget as well? I don't think they did. We

335
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.680
never see them give her a present. I'm trying. I'm trying to remember

336
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.039
the timeline of this episode, or
when is her actual birthday? It's when,

337
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:25.440
it's not when they it's when Leon
shows up. I think, well,

338
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.960
it must be when he shows up. It's not the morning they sing

339
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.279
the song. That's that's late,
isn't it. Yeah, that's right.

340
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.039
So the morning of the following day
or something. I can't recall. I

341
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:38.440
just know she's sitting at the at
the kitchen table crying. My favorite what

342
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.920
are you favorite moments in the episode? I think they were more Homer related

343
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.319
than anything else. I've only eve
betten one here because obviously was just entralled

344
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.720
with the episode. But I just
love that. That's one of my favorite

345
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:53.599
gifts of all time. I did
enjoy Homer watching funny his own video.

346
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.480
Yeah, don't gone Fire, Don't
go fire, cracky up at doc fire,

347
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.519
look at him like the dog on
fire. But that was there was

348
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.319
once upon a time when a funny
Stone videos was a thing, don't I

349
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.759
know it? Yeah it is a
still kind of magic because now it's just

350
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.160
vile clips on the internet. But
he used to be in Australia. Sit

351
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.519
down seven thirty on a Tuesday and
you need to watch Australia's funny Stowe video.

352
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.319
You will be told Australia, Australia, this is you, this is

353
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.960
you. That's right. Yeah,
and look at him and he'd be so

354
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.039
tough if like your favorite one.
It's like they want a car at the

355
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.000
end of the year. It's like, hey, kid fell out to fight

356
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:32.400
the stairs. You were a car. We're bringing back. We're bringing back

357
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.759
this season's champions. Remember kid who
fell downstairs? Fat guy on waters slag.

358
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:42.200
So I like that very much.
I loved I loved home. At

359
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:49.160
the end, Michael Jackson aka Leon
has made his impassioned speech about you know

360
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.319
who can see who's crazy or not
not me. I got this. He's

361
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:57.440
got his very proud that he's not
crazy. I love the stamp as well.

362
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:06.880
The revelation of the reveal of Homer's
test results and he gets dragged off.

363
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:12.119
There's cavil Man, he wears his
pants. Then another great callback to

364
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:18.440
Bart, isn't it? And the
one thing a line that I'd always remember

365
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.039
but I've forgotten, was from this
episode. Well, I think it's Kennie.

366
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.880
Don't be sure your face around here
again? Your tool? That was

367
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:30.160
Nelson? Was that Nelson? Yeah? When they realized that MJ Isn't had

368
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.640
a different maybe sort of pitch of
voice. Okay, I'm pretty sure it

369
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:34.720
was Nelson. I could be wrong. Yeah, yeah, one of the

370
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:40.240
bound here again, your tool?
I think it was Kenney, an established

371
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:44.319
bully at this point. I'm pretty
sure the three bullies were Jimbo, Dolph

372
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.039
and Nelson. Could be could well
be Nelson, Yeah, it could be

373
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:49.440
wrong. What else did you enjoy? Yeah? Yeah, this had the

374
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.839
one worries? Shall we do some

409
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.759
you there eating the bast trivia questions. Mister Dames, it's time for some

410
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.319
trivia. What's your first question?
Oh, I'm going to go first.

411
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:12.440
You are please recite to me the
crusty hotline number one nine zero nine is

412
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.480
zero nine? Oh, you clown, mrrect I'm pretending I didn't know,

413
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:23.599
but that's my first question. My
first question then, for you is what

414
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.079
does the sign at the new Bedlam
Mental Asylum say. There's a sign on

415
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.559
the wall and they're walking in m
It says you have to be You don't

416
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:38.119
have to be crazy to be committed, but that helps. Yes. In

417
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.000
Lisa's poem, what kind of car
hit Snowball? Chrysler? It was a

418
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.319
Chrysler? I forgot that was in
this episode. She lies, lies,

419
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:56.039
she died, No deal? So
is it he lied, he lied,

420
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.680
she died, she died, she
died, she died. You know the

421
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:00.640
answer this one, but read it
out for me. The four Dates,

422
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:07.960
Brooke Shields, Diana ros Emmanuel Lewis
aka Webster and Bubbles and Bubbles the monkey?

423
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.279
Was he just the monkey the chimp? So did he just have a

424
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:12.640
chimp follow him around? Like mister
teeny? What was the deal with Bubbles?

425
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:15.440
I've heard of Bubbles, but I
wasn't old enough to sort of live

426
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:19.960
through it. Yeah, I don't
know if Bubbles accompanied MJ everywhere, But

427
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.920
did you have him out in public? This monkey? I think if you

428
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:33.839
went to Neverland, yeah, you
would invary it with. You would invariably

429
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.039
meet and probably interact with Bubbles.
Just comes across like a guy who had

430
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.960
so much money that he just did
not to do with it anymore. And

431
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.599
he was just what was his case
of he was trying to create a youth

432
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:47.559
that he never got to live.
That seemed to be the thing, wasn't

433
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.880
it. That seemed to be the
armchair psychologist opinion, because he had a

434
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:52.599
shit upbringing. You had all the
money in the world, Yeah, but

435
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:59.039
he was You know that they're making
this buyer pic about Michael Jackson right now,

436
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:07.880
just called Michael an apparent. Of
course it is sly starring like his

437
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:12.599
nephew or something like that as young
Michael. And so when's it says that

438
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.960
his whole life? I think it's
I think it's his whole life. But

439
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:22.359
it's one of those ones like straight
out of Compton or where the Jackson family

440
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:25.119
is Like the executive producer, it's
like, Okay, you've got the rights

441
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.599
that we're going to rewrite history of
everybody pretty much. Yeah, we've got

442
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.240
the rights that we'll give you the
rights of the songs, but in return,

443
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.440
you're gonna have to whitewash some of
this less savory stuff baps or just

444
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.920
you'll allude to it, but you
know, for the sake of like being

445
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:41.680
upfront and honest. Which is weird
because I felt they did the opposite for

446
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.920
the Freddie Mercury Behemi Raapsody film.
They made it come across so much worse

447
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.680
than what he actually was. Like
the band split up and he wouldn't get

448
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.839
back together, and they want to
do live aid and he did, and

449
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.039
I'm thinking, none of this happened. Why do you fabricated such bullshit?

450
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:56.920
Yeah? I don't know. I
mean, I watched Bohemian Rhapsody once and

451
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.279
I'm like, I've got no desire
to ever see this. So many people

452
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.440
say to me. I've had people
say to me, oh, it's such

453
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.720
a great story. It's such a
good film. I didn't realize that happened.

454
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.160
I was like, it didn't happen. Though, none of this happened.

455
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.880
It's just I understand writer's license,
but I don't know, just maybe

456
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.359
I watched it going Freddie Mercury comes
across a real douchebag. Don't you feel

457
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.680
that he came across a bit of
a douche threat a good portion of the

458
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.759
last half of that movie. I
don't really recall that much of it in

459
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:22.640
Unstein, just it was a lot
of this huge craze for about six months.

460
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:25.640
Wasn't he won? What did he
win the Academy Award for it?

461
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:27.359
He did? Yeah? I mean
I like me Malick as an actor,

462
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:32.880
but it was badwagon. Yeah,
b Timezone because we all love queen songs.

463
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.480
Correct, Yeah, I'll all follow
a question for you, Daly Lama

464
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:40.359
visited when nineteen fifty two one of
your questions, correct, were just coming

465
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:41.599
to each other question? Indeed?
Indeed? But might I ask you one

466
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:48.559
more? Yeah? What is Leon
Kompowski's hometown? Brooklyn Patterson, NW Jewey

467
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.599
Patterson, New Joysey. Alrighty,
So the original air date of Stark Graving

468
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.079
Dad was September nineteenth, nineteen ninety
one, production Code seven F two four,

469
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:02.400
written by al Jeina, Mike Reese
and directed by Rich More. The

470
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:04.359
episode we do have the chop ball
gag as well, so we do season

471
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.559
eighteen reviews and there's no chalk gag
and like kind of stuff. But the

472
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:10.119
chop boy gag, I am not
a dentist. And the couch gag,

473
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:14.039
the couch tips over backwards, sending
the Simpsons family through the wall. That's

474
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:18.400
just a fairly old school, not
elaborate couch gag. It's just like,

475
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.599
and something happens. Yeah, yeah, even just the cauch gags like this.

476
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:25.079
Yeah, they take me back because
when you do season eighteen, it

477
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.559
just doesn't feel the same. Never. The episode kicks off with Lisa waking

478
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.480
up Bart, which is what he
does at the end of the the episode.

479
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.640
She wakes up at six am.
Something's happened. Dad died, and

480
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:38.079
he's actually don't believe he's actually relieved. Believe. Yeah, but it's almost

481
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.680
Lisa's birthday and she's worried about becoming
double digits and as Bart says, you

482
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.799
know, that's when your legs start
to go. And Kenny doesn't taste as

483
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:51.000
good anymore, and he's always She
says that he's always disappointed her, and

484
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.559
he finally gives in and says that
he will get her a present. And

485
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.599
I do agree. It's just the
pressure to be given a present felt un

486
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.720
Lisa, Like it did, didn't
it. H Yeah, she seems like

487
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:06.480
someone who should be I don't need
physical objects. Make a donation to Peter.

488
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.799
Peter feed the starving child. But
Marge asked Bart in the kitchen to

489
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.920
watch Maggie while she goes and gets
some laundry. He calls a crusty hotline.

490
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.119
Doesn't pay an attention if you haven't
asked your parents. Nerdy, nerdy,

491
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.200
but Chirsty forgives you. By the
way, how long was the how

492
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.720
much for the first minute, and
how much read traditional metals? Two dollars

493
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.440
for the first and fifty cents after. I'm pretty sure there's no beating you.

494
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.480
No, no, it's photographic memory. But the thing is, it

495
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.200
took me back. I've got my
notes here. Hot lines take me back.

496
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.680
Remember when hot lines for me it
was cheats for video games. You

497
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.119
call this hot line for five dollars
a minute. We can tell you how

498
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:42.720
to enter this combo for Eddie Gordo
on Teke and three Did you ever go

499
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:45.799
up any hot lines and things like
that? For me? It was phone

500
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.079
sex? Okay, yeah, I
still do that. Does phone sex still

501
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.480
exist? I'm not sure it does. I guess it must. I'm sure

502
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:55.920
there's like an app for it or
something, but I can't imagine there's one

503
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.480
nine hundred call me call me now, I always say, and they call

504
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.480
me now, we're waiting for your
cool. That was probably like some seventy

505
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:08.400
year old. She just got a
really hard voice. That's right. Yeah,

506
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:14.960
what are you wearing? Oh?
Hotlines? But you know, Crush

507
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.279
just laughs at the entire time,
makes his money call back tomorrow, and

508
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.839
then Maggie grabs the fan. Not
I like podcasts, No, Marge makes

509
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:23.559
the fan. Marge walks in Caesar
she ever powered me? Then have an

510
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.880
easy shirt for work, and unfortunately
they're all pink. And it's also Bart's

511
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.839
fault with the lucky red hat.
Indeed, quick question, did Homer always

512
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.519
have that hairy chest? It was
always been curly. Yeah, yeah,

513
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.640
I just never picked up on it. No, this is the first time

514
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:42.200
I thought was just like smooth chest
days or in the early days. Anyway,

515
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:45.480
you always had the curly hairs on
his chest. Yeah. I don't

516
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.799
remember seeing this episode, but that's
what he usually looks like anyway. But

517
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.640
I love the line here of I'm
not popular enough to be different. That's

518
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.359
so true in many aspects. When
you're growing up, you just I can't

519
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.880
be different. Only the cool kids
can be quirky. Have you ever worn

520
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.640
a pink shirt? I own several
pink shirts, but purple. Do you

521
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.839
recall the first time that, I
mean, was there ever any sort of

522
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.359
trepidation about the first time you put
one on? I remember the first time

523
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:13.200
I wore it out to a nightclub, and I was very anxious, but

524
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.119
I thought I looked good. But
I thought, if someone comments on this,

525
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:17.839
it's going to break me. I'm
going to go home straight up.

526
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.240
And yes, but straight away.
I remember these two girls, Emily I

527
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.359
always say, last Nights is the
last name? Emily and Kate? How

528
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:29.720
wish Emily and Kate said, oh, nice shirt. I remember I first

529
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:35.240
thinking are they taking the mickey?
It's genuine? And then I realized they

530
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:39.079
weren't. I won't explained how when
they ripped it off my buddy. Yeah,

531
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:42.640
but then I realized I know it's
okay, and it was because even

532
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.799
fifteen years ago, wear a pink
shirt was now it's whatever. You wear

533
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.759
no shirt to a nightclub, but
you feel like you look good, but

534
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:52.680
you're scared to see what people or
other people think. That's cool when you

535
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:54.839
should't. You should feel I you
feel comfortable, you should just wear it.

536
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:58.799
It depends on your coloring as well, I mean share the pink.

537
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.160
Yeah. All the lovely Louise often
told me, it's like, colour is

538
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:06.279
not really you it color? Is
that anything that's like anything that's not black

539
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:12.240
pretty much anything outside black, black, gray or blue? No, Because

540
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:15.920
I mean, I'm I am kind
of partial to purple. I don't I

541
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:22.079
think it's I like wearing it not
not necessarily an all purple apbit. I'm

542
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.599
not prince. That was Michael Jackson. What am I talking about? But

543
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:28.720
we have the Prince a little bit
later in the show. We will.

544
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:30.440
Indeed, I recall we were at
some shop and I was like, Oh,

545
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.880
I really like this Polis shirt.
In this column. I don't know

546
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:36.680
how many times I've told you this
is not your color. It does not

547
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:38.599
suit your personal coloring, is it? But is it that she doesn't think

548
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:42.920
you look good in it? Or
is it that most people will think her

549
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.200
opinion is the only one that matters. Yeah, most people try to look

550
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.920
good for my person actio. Yes, that is correct, and it's yourself.

551
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:51.319
Guy, David, you feel you
look good in purple? We're damn

552
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:54.960
purple. I will, you'll buy
your purple shirt for your birthday. I've

553
00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:59.400
got a Wayne's World shirt that's purple, and I've had it since I reckon

554
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:00.960
I was seventeen. Still fits me. It's one of those shirts where I

555
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.359
judge whether I need to lose some
weight. I put the shirt on too

556
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.119
tight. I need to lose a
bit of weight. I've told you we've

557
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:09.960
talked about the aspirational shirt. Yeah, yeah, might fit into mine now,

558
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:13.320
Oh really yeah, that's one.
So I put it on a couple

559
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:15.760
of weeks ago. I would pick
up Alien. I thought still got it,

560
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:21.320
baby, I'd still got it,
and I referred to my gut.

561
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.440
No, you're looking great, looking, looking really really good. So yes,

562
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:27.920
So basically, Homer's shirt is now
pink. It's all over. March,

563
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:31.000
It's all over. And then he's
revealed here that as Bart's hat,

564
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:34.239
as we said, March is no
one's going to notice. I really like

565
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.239
the scene the shot here of him
walking in all the workers all wearing white

566
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:38.559
and he's wearing the pink and burns. Is not a fan of it at

567
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:42.239
all? Is he some sort of
free thinking anarchist. It's one of your

568
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.840
boobs from sect to seven g yes, and these color monitors are peete for

569
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:50.559
themselves. Then Lenny gives Homer a
pink frosting donut and hang and shit,

570
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:52.920
and you can imagine this is what
it would happen in a factory. Oh

571
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:57.039
yeah, wearing a pink shirt not
cool. It doesn't make him a pink

572
00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:59.079
donut either, No, no,
but he does like it though. He

573
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:01.039
does love pink frost pink. Are
you a chocolate donut or a pink donut?

574
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:02.880
I was alway chocolate as a kid. I'm pink all the way now.

575
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.960
I think I would be a pink
donut. Yeah. Maybe it's the

576
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.840
Simpsons influence. I don't know,
but I prefer when it comes to sweets,

577
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:13.760
strawberry pink is over chocolate. Ending
out the week for me. Having

578
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.519
said that, a combination of the
two is very nice. I mean,

579
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.880
did you ever I think are American
friends called bis quick, but we call

580
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.760
it quick oh quick, yeah,
yeah, you combine the two flavors,

581
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.159
I can bind chocolate and strawberry.
Was that amazing? It's pretty damn Did

582
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:28.079
you ever get banana? Bananna was
like the one that you go got if

583
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.360
if everyone else is running out.
This is what I'm about to say.

584
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.880
I'm very partial to banana flavoring.
I think you might have said that you're

585
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.760
you're the kid that liked the weird
things, because no one ate banana.

586
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.639
Quick he went to your friend's house. The bananas a banana or banana big

587
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:45.280
m Yeah no, yeah. And
I was at the the n QR.

588
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:50.119
I went there with Alliott maybe three
days ago. He was in heaven.

589
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.119
He walked in, he goes,
look at all these lullies, look at

590
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:58.039
all these lolo prices. Well,
we would have gone to the same n

591
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:00.559
QR. It's just around the corner
from Dando's pad if you do live around

592
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:04.679
here. They've got three dollar limp
bunnies, which are perfect for Easter time.

593
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:07.800
That is correct. Friend of the
pot. The other thing they had

594
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.239
though, And while I'm trying to
be on something in their healthcare, this

595
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.280
is too good to pass it because
it's not something that you often see in

596
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:19.800
Australia. And even beyond that,
it's kind of like a added affordable price.

597
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:22.719
It's a variant of I love when
they get the US of variants and

598
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:28.039
shit, yeah it was banana flavored
Twinkies. I still wouldn't eat it,

599
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:30.960
but I can imagine you would have
loved it. I bought the box,

600
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:34.599
the whole box. Yeah, yeah, well they went certain an individually.

601
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:37.079
Okay, yeah, you had to
get a box of ten. I'm like,

602
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:38.360
you feel like an absolute boss when
you just drop the box on the

603
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:42.679
cannon too. You're like, all
of them, give it to me,

604
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:45.679
Give it to me, because Nicholas, she loves these protein bars and it

605
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:49.159
usually cost six dollars each. Right
at the supermarket, they've got it for

606
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.760
a dollar fifty each. What I
bought three boxes of them? What dollar

607
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.079
fifty? They all went out date
like six months ago, but it's still

608
00:36:55.079 --> 00:37:00.800
a dollar fifty. There's I think
barely is the difference between the best before

609
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:05.639
date and the used by use by. Don't go past that best before Yeah,

610
00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.719
that's fine. Just blow it a
bit and be fine by stuff.

611
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.840
When you chuck with the scraped little
white bits off it lou was cleaning out

612
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:13.960
of her cupboards not long ago.
I think I might have told this story,

613
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:16.159
and you know, you double up
on various things like oh, I'm

614
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:17.920
out of so and so. Well, oh, wait a minute, there

615
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:21.880
were actually three bottles way back in
the cupboard. We're cleaning out of the

616
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.320
cupboard, and there was I think
we did like maybe four, four or

617
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:28.960
five big garbage bags of this like
this past is to use by date or

618
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.960
whatever, and there was some where
it's like I think that's the best before

619
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.199
I'm trying it out and said,
well, man, maybe i'll take that

620
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:38.000
back tonight. It took like a
big bag of stuff that had best before

621
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:42.199
or was just past its use by
data like oh users the next couple of

622
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.079
days she was looking at me like
I was some kind of freak. I

623
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:46.639
had a good memory as you were
talking. Then, I've very rarely seen

624
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:49.840
my mum drunk. It was just
speaking of things sort of like in the

625
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.760
back of a closet. And my
mom used to have this is it port

626
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:57.440
like port? Oh yeah, but
it was a Geelong Cat's football one right

627
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.039
that she got just as a present
for I was born, right, someone

628
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:01.719
said, and I said, when
the Cat's win the flag. You can

629
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:05.679
drink this, right, And of
course the Gelong Cats in the AFL here

630
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.079
we're in the eighty nine, ninety
two, ninety four, ninety five Grand

631
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:10.159
Final. I never won them,
so it just sat and used to sit

632
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:13.880
on the on the bench at our
house for years, decades, right,

633
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:16.039
and I'm never for getting two thousand
and seven when the Cats won the Grand

634
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:20.079
Final and I said, Mom,
you can drink that port now. And

635
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.559
to see Mum get drunk on his
port was just like such a great many

636
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:27.960
was like Mom's finally finally gets to
drink his port, Like nineteen years later,

637
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.920
she's finally drinking his port. Yeah, dear port, I can't drink

638
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:37.000
it anymore. I got absolutely shit
faced on it, like New's Eve around

639
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:40.360
maybe nineteen eighty nine or something,
and maybe it was the same same batch.

640
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.960
It could Oh I forgot where I
was, but it was at like

641
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:47.119
some event. There were like little
shot glasses of port, you know,

642
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:50.239
because you don't have it in big
glasses. You have it like it's a

643
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.320
minded little bits of it. And
I had like maybe six or seven maybe

644
00:38:54.320 --> 00:39:00.000
more. Mom had a Sharon size
drinking it, and I just got I

645
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.039
I ended up ushering in the new
year, out in the garden, just

646
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:07.599
puking my guts out. Don't let
mom seem pretty much. I have not

647
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:15.679
drunk port since. Okay, let's
go pinky. You don't understand my son

648
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:21.039
just threw his red head and with
the white laundry spear me the tire semantics

649
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.360
of the Simpson family take him away. You know, mister Burns, his

650
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:27.880
body cavities are to reveal nothing,
and we must have actuated him one hundred

651
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:30.679
times. Maybe he's telling the truth. Well, perhaps you toured in Coots

652
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.280
Smith. There's anything to recall.
You had a pension for Bill Bedham trousers

653
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:37.639
back in seventy nine, sir,
that was my costume from the plant.

654
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.079
Production of him has been off for
it. No years. Of course,

655
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:44.360
you spirited horn pipe stool the shoes, I recall. But then we get

656
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.280
an appearance from doctor Marvin Monroe.
Yeah, I forgot that he was in

657
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:51.719
this episode, and he says that
he used to take months to find out

658
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:55.559
if someone was insane. But now
thanks to what oh I forgot take home

659
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.519
personality test. That's right, I
knew it was the test of Yeah,

660
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:06.239
it answered twenty questions and determined how
crazy sugar no sugarn someone is. I

661
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:10.320
love it when normally Krusty is the
mouthpiece for one of all expressive Yiddish terms,

662
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:13.599
but I like it when someone else
gets to throw one in. But

663
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.320
then he asked Marge to fill in
the forms because she won't do it.

664
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:20.519
Then he asked Lisa, and this
is where we get the whole meditation of

665
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:22.119
an eight year old or thoughts of
an eight year old. Basically her poem

666
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:29.199
man it had meditation, I think
in ruminations or something terribly pretentious. Liza,

667
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:31.039
you like homework? Could you fill
out this form for me? Well,

668
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:37.119
all right, if you listen to
the poem I just wrote. Meditations

669
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.719
are Turning eight by Lisa Simpson.
I had a cat named Snowball. She

670
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.519
died. She died. Mama said
she was sleeping. She lied, she

671
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:51.519
lied. Why why is my cat
dead? Couldn't that Chrysler hit me instead?

672
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.800
I had an amster named Snuffy.
He died, she lied, she

673
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:02.360
lied. Hoad is bowling. There, It's just the perfect. Now can

674
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:07.639
you say no deal now without doing
the X? No deal? I think

675
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:12.559
I can. People on the Deal
and odeal show just love doing it.

676
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:16.960
No deal actually Champion. By the
way, this is an audio thing,

677
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:22.000
but we were actually doing the no
Deal No Deal. Yeah, so he

678
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:23.480
has Bart here, but it's not
sure. It's not that time you let

679
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:27.880
me vote for you. But Homer
watches funny Stone videos as Bart's doing it

680
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:30.159
and baby with a nail gun,
dog on fire, Dog on fire,

681
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:35.800
dog on fire. It just says
yes to everything here and unfortunately he does

682
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:38.039
not pass the test, and so
that's Kaffman. He wets his pants so

683
00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:42.880
good. He's then taken to New
Bedlam. The mental asylum is you got

684
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.199
to say that these days mental asylum, mental hospital, I think mental hospitals,

685
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:50.079
even a mental hospital. Well it
is be your mental health. Yeah,

686
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.760
that is true, mental health hospital. Maybe. Yeah, it's the

687
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:57.280
rest hope for the emotionally interesting.
Apparently that's what the science says. Lovely

688
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.920
ephimis. They show him the ink
spots and the boy, the boy.

689
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:06.440
That's actually a great payoff. Later
there is a buck, but they stamp

690
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:10.000
his hand. He's insane and whoever
has this stamp isn't he? Then he's

691
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:14.239
thrown in with the big white guy
who thinks he's a little black guy and

692
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:19.119
cue Michael Jackson. Well, I'm
Homo Simpson from the Simpsons. Homer doesn't

693
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.119
know who Michael Jackson is, unfortunately, does the Billy Jean dance, does

694
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:23.679
the moonwalk? What's that thing?
And you know what, what are you

695
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:30.960
throwing it for? For wearing one
white glove? Kevin and Rahyinstein's and the

696
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:36.079
kids now watching Itchy and Scratchy.
It has banged the cat slowly. I've

697
00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:38.880
got here. They showed the kids
laughing at it. They looked hideous.

698
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:43.639
The animation here was, oh,
really terrible. It's worth going back if

699
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.480
you can find access to this episode. Check out Spartan Lisa laughing at this

700
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:51.199
scene. It's really bad. Just
looks like a you know when they said

701
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.079
in the earlier episodes where they said
they they had to delete, although they

702
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:55.840
had to go back and reanimate some
episodes. It was Summer Chanted Evening.

703
00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:59.920
It felt like the animation from that
is really really bad. But Lisa hints

704
00:42:59.920 --> 00:43:01.960
he that you know, we're about
that present and as barsis, you want

705
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:05.400
that once a year empty gesture,
You've got it, And I guess that's

706
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:07.360
what a lot of it is.
Isn't it your birthday? Better get you

707
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:12.519
a present? I guess so,
and then we're at the mental health hospital

708
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:15.199
and he introduces Frank the Idiot.
He's an idiots advance. It is advant

709
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:19.119
Yeah, that's the term that's sort
of fallen out of favor. Hmm yes,

710
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:24.880
and fight by no wow, and
the chief who's the chief from the

711
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:30.320
chief is from One Flew over the
Cuckoo's Nest Vaness. It's nineteen sixty eight.

712
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:35.880
Nobody else getting in that time.
Somebody reached out to me. I

713
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:40.360
think there is another it's not not
as obvious Cookoo's Nest reference, but there

714
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:45.079
is someone a little bit later who
looks like Jack Nicholson as McMurphy from Really

715
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:50.039
Well, it's just sitting in the
hospital. No, no ask. I

716
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:52.239
think Homer's asking how do I get
out of it? Yeah? There's one

717
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.519
way eating the nurse oh yeah yeah, And he looks a bit like Jack

718
00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:59.239
Nichols and that nurse that look too
bad. She's probably you have to be

719
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.360
tough to work in the place like
that, I'd imagine absolutely. Yeah.

720
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:05.360
Yeah, you get a lot of
shit thrown at your own just yeah,

721
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:09.639
literally and metaphoric. But he calls
home, what are the other places on

722
00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:15.480
the on the speed died? Did
you see I did Larry Kings show oprah

723
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:20.159
Rado and then it just said got
a field on who and a ski report?

724
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:22.719
Why ski report that? I don't
know. Yeah, I'm sure the

725
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.760
joke there's somewhere that I've missed.
But he's too embarrassed the course against Michael

726
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.880
to call for him. Just crematorium, you'll kill him. We grillham.

727
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:32.760
Hello, who is this? Bert
Simpson? Who the hell are you?

728
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:37.599
I'm Michael Jackson, the Michael Jackson. No way, it's true. I'm

729
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:42.440
with your father in a mental institution
and he's Elvis with you. He could

730
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:45.920
be. It's a big hospital.
That's always been the thing, isn't it.

731
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:47.559
Alvis is still alive. That's sort
of that they're still to this day

732
00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:52.119
used two Park and Alvis. They're
the two ones. Yeah, I mean,

733
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.599
there was that whole thing about Paul
McCartney is dead and Elvis is still

734
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:58.800
alive. People actually believe Pau McCartney's
dead. That's wild to me. And

735
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:02.920
they believe that Pau mcartney's and an
imposta, so weird. He's there,

736
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:08.960
He's simply having a wonderful Christmas time
all the time. I'm not a huge

737
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:14.320
fan of that song. Though I
like, it just felt very just.

738
00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:16.239
You listen to it and you go, Paul was just trying to make money

739
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:19.760
with this. He's like, I'm
gonna write a Christmas ching. You just

740
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:22.639
put that in there to be commercial. Yeah. How many times have I

741
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:25.159
said, though, that's we should
do that. We should knuckle down and

742
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:28.880
write a Christmas song and then we're
just on Easy Street forever. Yeah,

743
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:34.159
man RYA Kerrey, what a resurger
she's had every every December twenty five,

744
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:39.079
Yes, it was December first.
She cracks out of the ice, but

745
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:42.960
he wants him to stand the line
whilst goes and tells his friends and family.

746
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.440
But he says, you know you
better up. And then was he

747
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:46.119
said, you don't et you dad
to have a little botomy. You want

748
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.800
you dad out of you are sure
you're right? Basically, Hom's like he's

749
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:52.519
worried's never gonna get to he reasure
its home. I don't worry, you

750
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:53.920
will get out the only one get
out. As you said, eating the

751
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:58.559
norse wise guy voice. It's a
little wise guy. I mean I think

752
00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:00.159
it was wise guy voice. Yeah. Also trying to put that nickelsony and

753
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:05.039
sneering. Yeah, yeah, Marge
shays that I told you one day,

754
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:07.800
he's dad to the crazy house,
poor house, crazy house, poor house.

755
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:09.559
He's a shame to admit to to
MJ that he is scared. That's

756
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:12.559
a big deal for a guy,
even to this day, to admit that

757
00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:15.079
they're scared. Oh, very much. Yeah, because we're just we're raised

758
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.360
to think you've got to be tough
and strong. And I think i've ever

759
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:21.960
I've seen my dad cry once was
when a family member passed away. But

760
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:25.119
did you ever see Bobby cry very
even not very often? Once? Yeah,

761
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:28.800
yeah, and that was that was
very bracing. Yeah. I do

762
00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:31.320
like the idea though, of like
Homer admitting to another guy, I'm scared.

763
00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:34.320
You know, he obviously is scared. He's ever going to get out

764
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:38.599
and is where Leon slash MJ sings
Ben or Homer. I've always liked this.

765
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:44.679
Oh it's just a nice little spin
on it. But then pancakes football,

766
00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:51.159
This slayed in my household when I
was boobies and bubbles. Is going

767
00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:52.639
to be a long night. Then
it's time for a therapy session. And

768
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:59.000
we've got Dave here who suffers from
agoraphobia, just baby smoking and group therapy

769
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.920
as well. It's like, yeah, nineties or magical time. Marge pleads

770
00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:05.360
to the doc. You know,
don't just don't mention, but there really

771
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.320
is a but good lot. Marge
is very well dressed. She's picking up

772
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:12.360
when she's pleading her case. That's
like she's going to prison. Yeah,

773
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:16.440
prison. But she embraces Homer and
he's revealed here there's not a threat to

774
00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:22.519
yourself or others in writing. Please
and they give him They're not Insane certificate,

775
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:27.440
a diploma diploma. Yeah, and
Michael says that he can come home

776
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:30.360
as work with only there voluntarily because
you're sad When in the nineteen seventy nineties

777
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:35.679
Off the Wall record only one or
was nominated for one lousy Grammy? That

778
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:38.039
sounds about right? Yeah? Is
that true? Shall we look it up?

779
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:40.719
Off the Wall? I feel like
Off the Walk won everything. It's

780
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:44.719
just so renowned. But it's got
rock with you on it, which is

781
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.360
one of my favorite Michaels. What's
the other one? I want to be

782
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:51.320
starting something? Oh that's on Thriller? Or is it on bad lem on

783
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:52.239
the Boogie? That's Off the Wall, right, isn't it? I think

784
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:54.599
so? Or? Yeah? Is
that just a Michael song? Or is

785
00:47:54.599 --> 00:47:58.920
it a Jackson's Oh you could be
right there. Off the Wall. Let's

786
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:01.320
get the track listing for Off the
Wall. It's his first album. I

787
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:05.599
remember having it owing it track listing
scroll out to the bottom. God,

788
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.599
damn was a little bit much.
But don't stop to you get enough.

789
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:09.159
That's what I'm thinking of a dub
it. You got rock with you,

790
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:12.360
working day and night. Off the
Walk, Girlfriend, She's out of my

791
00:48:12.360 --> 00:48:15.400
life. It's falling in love.
That's they're the singles that were released from

792
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:19.199
it. Yeah, I'm say my
mom, Samakusa. Great record, and

793
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:23.159
then it was Thriller just changed everything, right, Thriller changed a lot of

794
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:27.159
things. Yeah, it was particularly
like music videos, didn't they? Oh

795
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:30.239
yeah, absolutely? I mean,
wasn't it an event to actually see the

796
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:32.519
full It was an event to watch
the making of Thriller. Really, that's

797
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:37.760
pretty cool. That really spawned MTV, didn't It was a TV a thing

798
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:42.960
before that. MTV was a thing
before that. But I think certainly took

799
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:46.400
you took just sort of, yeah, we can make movies out of this

800
00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:50.079
now. Yeah. So back home
though, so they're all happy at that

801
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:52.360
at the at the mental health hospital. But back home, Lisa is sad

802
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:59.519
she's seeing Happy birthday to herself,
Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday,

803
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:13.679
Happy birthday. Oh I look to
me child, happy birthday too. You

804
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:16.360
do feel bad for her that they've
forgotten her on her birthday. But there's

805
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:19.760
a lot going on. There is
a lot going on. Still, it's

806
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:23.400
a daughter. But then we get
they call home, Joe's taxid him and

807
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:25.360
you snuff them. We stuffed them. I feel like you couldn't say we

808
00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:30.039
snuff him anymore, could you.
I don't think he could right on a

809
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:31.960
kid show, we snuff them or
you snuff them. I think it's a

810
00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:38.480
perfectly acceptable alternative to Yeah, maybe
all right, But he pretends so.

811
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:42.760
But this was basically Homer calling up
home and he threatens Bart but then he

812
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:45.639
pretends he's been nice when the dog's
looking at what's going on here, and

813
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:47.920
he says he's bringing Michael Jackson home
to make sure there's plenty of cold cuts

814
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:52.079
and beer on ice, But unfortunately
is a vegetarian. Are you sure you're

815
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.880
here voluntarily? I'm a vegetarian.
I didn't drink. Yes, promises not

816
00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:57.800
to tell anybody, but he can't
help it, so he just tells you

817
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:05.159
just does he know, and of
course it spreads all the way through even

818
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:08.000
to the bulletin on KBBL radio.
And they're going to play an extra long

819
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.599
version of it in the Gada Divita. Is that so they can go out

820
00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:14.199
and see Michael. I think it
must be in a garda divida is already

821
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:17.199
long, yes, so extra long
version, yes, So that's what they

822
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:20.320
That's what Bart uses in. Bart
seals his soul. By the way,

823
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:25.920
it was in the Garden by Iron
Butterfly, great song, yes, who

824
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:30.280
then closes for the first time ever
so clear it's a big deal here in

825
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:32.119
spring for the Michael Jackson is coming
to town. But then over here is

826
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:36.400
the helicopter over the over the house, and the mayor announces that they're going

827
00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:39.880
to announcing the new expressway, the
Michael Jackson Expressway. And so this is

828
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:45.760
post bad but pre dangerous dangerous.
Was eighties, wasn't it? I thought

829
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:51.760
it? I thought it went thriller, bad dangerous And what is black and

830
00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:55.159
white? Michael Jackson album Black or
White? Just have a Look So dangerous?

831
00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:59.239
Was ninety one for the same year? Ish? Okay, yeah,

832
00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:04.880
all this what when when ninety wanted
to come out? I think in twenty

833
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:07.880
sixth November. So this air before
Dangerous? Yeah, so it thriller was

834
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:12.039
I was eighty I thought three was
eighty okay, so eighty two bad was

835
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:15.079
eighty seven? Yeah? What was
the one that had him bo is a

836
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:16.840
history where he's like a statue on
the front. Yeah, and that's like

837
00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:20.719
mid nineties. That's the one I
remember the most of the kid because all

838
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:22.440
the singles when I was growing up
on video hits used to put the album

839
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:27.440
cover next to the song title.
I think that was like you and Loon.

840
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:30.599
What was the earth song on that
one? Oh yeah, let's remember

841
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:35.079
the time. I think the remember
get a better Please God, I haven't

842
00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:37.719
thought about that song for so long. Yield the wood, make it a

843
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:46.920
better pace for you and for me. Great guy, maybe not the best

844
00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:51.320
babies that no, apparently not no, but I all think Michael Jackson's going

845
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:54.159
to be coming to Springfield though.
Leon gets out of the car and they

846
00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:58.199
realized, oh, he's three hundred
pounds, he's white, he's just with

847
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:02.079
that flare all things that have been
leveled at you'rs truly. Yes. Everyone

848
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:07.639
then leaves and gets a punched.
Thank's aroun here again your tool? Yeah,

849
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.840
then Lisa asks about the present,
and she's afraid to ask. You

850
00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:15.360
should trust your instincts on that one. So she basically is gonna delete him

851
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:19.119
from her life. She's very sad
about this. Homer tries washing off the

852
00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:22.440
stamp, but it's not coming off, and Michael overhears Lisa writing the letter

853
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:27.800
to Bart. Dear Bart, I
am using the stationary Mom and Dad gave

854
00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:32.280
me for my birthday to inform you
that we are now brother and sister in

855
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:37.679
name only. Perhaps if a professional
so advice is I'll give you a hut.

856
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:43.880
It's a far distant family reunion,
but rest assured there will be purely

857
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:49.559
for a show. It's a bit
dramatic, but I guess she's eight year

858
00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:52.719
old, Yes, eight year old. But he goes and tells Bart,

859
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:54.679
you know, let's go write a
song to show that you can. You

860
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:58.199
know when I was your age six
girl records. It's like, you're actually

861
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:02.159
fucking crazy. You didn't and basically, what was what is it that makes

862
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:07.280
him think? No, it's the
it's a threat of not So he goes,

863
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:08.880
you could not write a song for
your sister, or you could take

864
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:13.159
advantage of potentially having Michael Jackson,
and he's like, Michael, it's like

865
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:15.599
you just wanted to believe. It's
Colin. When you say things like sometimes

866
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:19.679
you just choose to believe. It's
like when you clap your hands to say

867
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:22.079
you believe in fairies to bring tinker
Bell back to life. Have you ever

868
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:23.559
done that? I think I did
it once. It did it work?

869
00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:27.840
It did on Yeah, it actually
did. When you're a kid, though,

870
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:30.440
and you know it's not true.
We discussed this in South Park.

871
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:35.639
You know it's not real. But
there's still that fear of saying bloody Mary

872
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:37.840
three times in the mirror. Never
a sleeper. There's that one kid that's

873
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:45.719
gonna do it. Don't do it
times, don't do it again, don't

874
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:52.480
do it. But they he writes
the Gasoline Song about Lisa. Her name

875
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:54.719
is Lisa, and so I'm not
going to go down. Well, so

876
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:59.000
they go to look at Lisa.
She looks sad, she's discussed, she

877
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:01.760
knows we're looking at her, but
she still would have been sad. But

878
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:06.239
then they write the song I really
call me crazy, but I really love

879
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:09.920
the draining wheels. Come after your
bag about dad boys, you like whatever.

880
00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:14.199
I was like, even that is
like a jingle like Michael Jackson just

881
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:17.440
had it man. Indeed, and
even if he does throwing a yeah to

882
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:21.599
be commercial, that's fine. Yes, that was his thing. But they

883
00:54:21.679 --> 00:54:24.000
enter Lisa's room the following morning and
they sing one of my favorite sims of

884
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:27.840
songs of all time, the Happy
Birthday Lisa and just I always had this

885
00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:30.199
thing when I was a kid,
I always said that when my sister gets

886
00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:34.079
married, I'm gonna I was gonna
sing, Stacey, it's your wed ding.

887
00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:36.440
I was gonna like change the words
for that. That was always my

888
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:39.000
thing, say to get married,
I can do it. Please married.

889
00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:44.239
Yeah, it's such a happy song. Someone's marrying Stacy. Yeah. And

890
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:47.639
you just we you loving good will. I love that song. I know

891
00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:52.440
it's deleted and I'm not almost likely
groomed children apparently, well that's the that's

892
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:58.480
the belief, but I do,
I do love that song. Homer is

893
00:54:58.480 --> 00:55:00.639
still sleeping. You know you slipped
me with he's not in saying award next

894
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:05.000
and they thank Michael. This is
where his voice changes and he reveals that

895
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:08.840
he's actually on Compowski from Patterson New
joy Ysy And to make a tire point,

896
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:13.639
which one of us is crazy me
I got this and you're a credit

897
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:17.159
to Dementia. By the way,
Yes, the voice is now switched to

898
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:22.159
Hanker's area is a Hank Now Hank
is doing There we go and that's the

899
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:28.320
end of the episode. Yeah,
as he's seeing that a list it's And

900
00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:30.559
they have a actual version of the
song over the closing credits as well,

901
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.599
they do, indeed, but probably
still sung by what's his name, Kip

902
00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:37.440
Lemon? Lemon. Yeah, I
love this episode. I'll always love this

903
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:40.880
episode. It's a shame that it's
not existing anymore in you know, in

904
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:45.559
streaming or whatever. Understandable. But
if you can go get a DVD or

905
00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:49.920
access it and find it, find
access to it somehow, because it's it's

906
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.000
great. It's a great use of
a guest start. So weird, isn't

907
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:54.960
it It is? Indeed, Yeah, I don't think it's anything that anyone

908
00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:59.320
was expecting at all, least of
all Matt Groening when he was working later

909
00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:00.920
at the otherice that night and got
a call from Michael Jackson. And Michael

910
00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:04.960
Jackson didn't even use his name in
the credits. He's referred to as John

911
00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:07.199
J. Smith, not the initial
J. The word J A Y I

912
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:10.880
wonder if they marketed at the time
obviously wasn't there, But did they marked

913
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:15.559
Michael Jackson's going to be on The
Simpsons? But then did did the viewers

914
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:17.599
feel cheated because they didn't? If
you were just watching the show and you

915
00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:21.159
didn't go we couldn't go online.
But if you didn't watch the news and

916
00:56:21.159 --> 00:56:23.599
find out that Michael Jackson actually the
voice, if they said Michael Jackson's coming

917
00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:25.880
to the Simpsons and you saw that
as a kid and then you realize it

918
00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:28.880
wasn't Michael Jackson, would you have
felt cheated? Do you think as a

919
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:31.079
viewer because he wasn't never listened to
the credits. I think the people at

920
00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:36.480
Simpson's HQ were probably working over time, certainly the marketing department, to let

921
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:37.880
you know. It's like, yes, it's builders John J. Smith,

922
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:40.519
but we all know who it is, right, We all know that Sam

923
00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:45.159
Etick is Dustin Hoffman and we all
know that John J. Smith is MJ.

924
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:50.360
Yeah. Look, it is sad
that this episode has been quite unquote

925
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:52.599
canceled or memory hold or what have
you. It's also sad that we didn't

926
00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:58.400
get the proposed sequel. This would
have been awesome. So it was Prince.

927
00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:00.639
That's who they had in mind.
Lean was going to to return as

928
00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:05.079
Prince. What's the actual story of
the episode, though, they do have

929
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:07.800
it somewhere listed online, But basically
I remember reading going this just feels like

930
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:12.920
a rehash. It felt from what
I understand, it seemed kind of strange

931
00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:16.320
that Leon came back to Springfield and
now he was more like Prince. He

932
00:57:16.360 --> 00:57:20.800
sort of had more of a Prince
identity than Michael Jackson identity. Surely everyone

933
00:57:20.840 --> 00:57:23.440
remembers him though from the first time, and basically wanted Springfield to sort of

934
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:28.639
loosen up and be love sexy in
the Prince day. So, I don't

935
00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:32.079
know, this feels pretty thin.
Even though it was Conan O'Brien who wrote

936
00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:36.719
the script, ConA was it.
I think Conan either wrote or worked on

937
00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:39.519
it. It's gonna be a propose
sequel somewhere on the I produced sequels.

938
00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:44.119
A year after Start Grabbing Dad aired
The Writer's Plan, a sequel which Campassi

939
00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:46.079
would return, this time claiming to
be the pop star Prince. The script

940
00:57:46.119 --> 00:57:51.239
was written by freelancers and polished by
Conan and O'Brien. That Conan polish,

941
00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:54.760
Yeah, According to Mike Reese,
it saw Kampaski encouraged the Springfield residents to

942
00:57:54.760 --> 00:58:00.079
loosen up, become more flamboyant,
and become more sexually open. Prince agreed

943
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:02.800
to voice Kampowski and sent notes about
what his character would wear, but the

944
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:06.840
writers discovered that Prince was referring to
a script that had been written by his

945
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.960
chauffeur, so he must have rewrote
the script. Prince disliked their script and

946
00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:14.159
demanded the other one be used,
but the writers refused. The script became

947
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:16.440
one of the few unproduced Simpsons scripts. Following Prince's death. In twenty sixteen,

948
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:21.000
Show and Our Geen posted two screenshots
of scenes from the script. There

949
00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:23.360
like a museum for Simpson stuff like
that. Oh god, it's a bit

950
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:29.079
like the end of Writer the Lost
Arty. Just this warehouse full of unproduced

951
00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:32.119
golden ear of Simpsons episode. Yeah, absolutely, I am on Prince's side.

952
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:35.280
I'm going to say I wouldn't have
brought him to that either. That

953
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:38.000
seems very thin, as you said, and a rehash of theion. Hey

954
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:42.480
he returns as a different but everyone
he's just been here. Everyone knows he's

955
00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:45.039
not Michael Jackson. Is it just
that everyone going, Oh, just let

956
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:49.280
Leon be Leon. Let's see.
I think Leon left Springfield not under a

957
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:52.239
cloud, but I think the residents
of Springfield kind of like, ah,

958
00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:53.840
we were short changed by this guy. Yeah. Actually, I guess the

959
00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:58.239
residents of spring Fold don't know that
he wasn't real, do they? Only

960
00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:00.199
the Simpsons know that. Oh yeah, and he came clean to the Simpsons

961
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:04.760
family. Oh yeah, good point. I mean, that's that's a whole

962
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:07.519
new can of worms. The only
way our Gene, for us to know

963
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:10.320
this is to release the entire script. We need to see it, both

964
00:59:10.320 --> 00:59:14.960
scripts. The only way that we
can be sure about this is for Ol

965
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:17.599
Jean to come on four Finger Discount
and talk about it exactly right, our

966
00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:21.320
mister Gene. Please, mister Jean, come on, come on the show

967
00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:23.039
and let's talk about it. Yeah, it want to be great. We

968
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:29.599
want to compare script. I'd love
to compare Princes's script, his script.

969
00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:35.079
That's fantastic. Princess who knows Prince
better than that guy though all the time?

970
00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:39.760
Yeah, pretty bit of an odd
not not an odd ball, but

971
00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:44.559
I mean he showed upon a new
girl, just did his own thing.

972
00:59:44.599 --> 00:59:47.360
Man, I love to hear what's
what songs? You don't they would have

973
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:50.719
used peple range. People raised the
big one, right, I imagine.

974
00:59:50.800 --> 00:59:54.079
So yeah, although Prince probably being
a pretty savvy businessman, what was it

975
00:59:54.719 --> 01:00:01.679
he released around the late eighties with
sort of We're not in My name is

976
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:06.239
Prince? E seventies, wasn't it. Yeah, we're in the Diamond and

977
01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:10.440
Pearls. Yeah, we're in Cream
and Cream. What a song? So

978
01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:16.280
dope. I need to find the
the quote because Prince was just full of

979
01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:21.079
these great quotes. I need to
find Remember when he passed and there now

980
01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:23.559
on the radio, I pulled over. I was like, wow, that

981
01:00:23.639 --> 01:00:28.320
affected me. The three deaths that
affected me, Prince, David Bowie and

982
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:31.280
Robin Williams. I just they stopped
me in my tracks. Oh yeah.

983
01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:36.039
And it's always weird when you sort
of it happens in the middle of your

984
01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:37.960
day, like you don't wake up
to that news. Yeah yeah, I

985
01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:42.400
mean I think I was on social
media and started, well, yeah,

986
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:44.840
Matthew Perry was a recent one,
has a big one. Yeah, he's

987
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:49.000
Ledger And that was kind of like
here he's Ledger's dead. Sorry, I

988
01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:52.880
need to find this quote from Prince, from Prince and him, hang on,

989
01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:58.400
Prince and matt Damon it's the quote, just gream. The headline is

990
01:00:58.440 --> 01:01:02.039
Prince had no time for Damien's pedestrians, small talk, good sanctioned his bufoonery.

991
01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:06.920
What were they working on together?
This was just at a party.

992
01:01:07.039 --> 01:01:08.679
Oh okay, here it is.
This is a quote from Julius Stiles,

993
01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:13.000
who co starred with in the Bourne
movies. After The Born Older Maiden came

994
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:15.199
out, there was a premiere in
London. Prince actually came to it,

995
01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:16.960
then got tickets for the cast to
come see him perform. We were summed

996
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:20.960
into a room to meet him after
the show. Matt said, so you

997
01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:24.079
live in Minnesota? Are you live
in Minnesota? Damon Prince said, I

998
01:01:24.119 --> 01:01:32.000
live in my own heart, mad
demon. Most people will be just like,

999
01:01:32.320 --> 01:01:38.199
yes, I'm talking about Damon Princess
live in my own home. Goddamn

1000
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:43.559
lord. What does David say back
to that? What do you do?

1001
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:49.119
Nice neighborhood? Good? What's the
weather like? Good? Good school catchment?

1002
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:54.199
But yes, so the unproduced sequel, it's a real shame because yeah,

1003
01:01:54.679 --> 01:01:58.840
I mean the story is it's kind
of bleak if you ask me.

1004
01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:00.639
But we don't know the full story
obviously, the full premise of the episode,

1005
01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:02.199
but it would have been nice to
have had prints on the on the

1006
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:06.639
Simpsons at some point, it certainly
would have. It'd be nice to have

1007
01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:09.920
Prince still with us, honest,
exactly. Yeah, the man just burned

1008
01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:14.320
out rather than faded away. This
was also the episode that had the rerun

1009
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:17.079
when or when it was had the
George Bush saying that it should be more

1010
01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:20.599
like the Waltons and less like the
Simpsons. That's correct. Yeah, So.

1011
01:02:20.679 --> 01:02:22.800
January thirtieth, nineteen ninety two rerun
of the episode featured a brief alternate

1012
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:25.519
opening, which was written, I
know so it was written in response to

1013
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:29.440
him saying that. So. It
was written in response to a point made

1014
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:31.719
by the then President, George W. Bush Senior, three days earlier.

1015
01:02:31.719 --> 01:02:36.119
The show had previously had a few
but the president's wife Barbara Bush, when

1016
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:38.840
in the October first, nineteen ninety
edition of People, she called the Simpsons

1017
01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:44.119
the dumbest thing she'd ever seen.
The writers decided to respond on privately sending

1018
01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:47.719
a polite letter to Bush in which
they posed as Marge Simpson. Bush immediately

1019
01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:52.199
sent a reply in which she apologized. Later, on January twenty seventh,

1020
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:54.599
nineteen ninety two, George Bush made
a speech during his re election campaign,

1021
01:02:54.599 --> 01:02:58.280
which included the statement We're going to
keep it trying to strengthen the American family,

1022
01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:00.039
make it families a lot more like
the Walls, less like the Simpsons.

1023
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:04.679
The writers wanted to respond quickly as
Barbara Bush had to them. As

1024
01:03:04.719 --> 01:03:07.639
each episode of The Simpsons takes more
than six months to produce, it's difficult

1025
01:03:07.039 --> 01:03:12.480
for the show to comment on current
events. The writers decided to add a

1026
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:15.480
brief response to the next broadcast of
The Simpsons, a rerun of Start Grabbing

1027
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:19.039
Dad. This episode on January thirtieth, Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart,

1028
01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:22.239
was called in to record a line. The broadcast included a new tongue

1029
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:25.480
in cheek opening. The scene from
the episode Simpson and Delilah begins in the

1030
01:03:25.519 --> 01:03:30.280
Simpsons living room, where the family
is watching Bush's speech. We are going

1031
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:36.320
to keep on trying to strengthen the
American family, to make American families a

1032
01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:39.480
lot more like the Waltons and a
lot less like the Simpsons. Hey,

1033
01:03:39.639 --> 01:03:43.599
we're just like the Waltons. We're
praying for an end of the depression too.

1034
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:46.840
And the opening is featured on the
season four DVD box set. That's

1035
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:51.440
actually pretty clever, yes, well
the Simpsons. Someone say they're kind of

1036
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:54.880
clever. Yeah, you should have
waited a few years and come like,

1037
01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:59.000
you know, more like the Waltons, less like the Griffins. Yeah.

1038
01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:00.239
No, one wants to be like
the Griffins. Right, No, they

1039
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:02.519
do not know. That's not talking
about the Griffins. But this has been

1040
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:05.000
our review. I've start roving Dad. We hope you guys enjoyed it.

1041
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:08.440
It was just so much fun to
go back and revisit such a classic episode

1042
01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:11.519
that if I had been doing this
review, I wouldn't have because I had

1043
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:14.239
to pull out the DVD's and I
very rarely pull out the DVDs anymore,

1044
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:15.960
which is a shame, because like, oh, let's get it. I

1045
01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:17.719
love I love just holding it.
No, it's a cool box set.

1046
01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:21.280
Hold up to the camera. There
see a slipcase, the cool cover.

1047
01:04:21.800 --> 01:04:25.280
When was it originally come out in
two thousand and they just come out every

1048
01:04:25.320 --> 01:04:27.519
year the first or two that this
would have been two thousand and three.

1049
01:04:27.599 --> 01:04:31.840
This one came out like that calls
that right all the we love physical media.

1050
01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:34.159
We do love physical media. Get
the booklet here and everything. I

1051
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:38.440
just I loved it. I love
pulling it, putting the DVD in Alien

1052
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:40.199
actually put the David in and he
was like, what is this? What

1053
01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:43.599
is this? There's the medium Dando
says. I love pulling it out and

1054
01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:47.960
putting it in and putting in the
disc into the player, I should say,

1055
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:50.760
but yeah, it's just it was
just so nice having a menu.

1056
01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:55.079
I was like, I remember the
menus because basically when you were a kid,

1057
01:04:55.159 --> 01:04:57.760
I would have been what twelve when
this one came out, maybe a

1058
01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:00.239
bit older, twelve thirteen. I
used to put these v he is going

1059
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:02.000
to go to sleep, used to
listen to the commentaries so quite off,

1060
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:03.840
and I wake up the middle of
the night and it's just the men you

1061
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:06.400
know, you wake up to our
menu. Yeah that was your ASMR.

1062
01:05:06.559 --> 01:05:11.239
Yeah. So like I would wake
up and like, these menus are just

1063
01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:13.840
ingrained in my mind. You know. It was just a flashback. But

1064
01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:16.320
anyway, start graving, Daddy Clai
great episode. The next classic episode we

1065
01:05:16.400 --> 01:05:20.159
might review. I'm actually gonna be
doing a I'll plug it here. It's

1066
01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:21.960

morning, so you won't be doing this

1067
01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:27.840

it is with a podcast. I could

1068
01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:30.719
murder a podcast and do like a
true crime podcast over in the UK and

1069
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:32.079

mister Burns Part one and Part two?

I'm probably not gonna be we can here

1072
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:42.400
at four thirty, but have fun. And we're thinking of tackling as if

1073
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:45.480
it's a true crime a bit of
a different spin. Wow, getting innovative.
