6
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.079
to four figure discount, the very
first podcast of us. Here at the

7
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.200
four figure discount I worked for twenty
twenty four and we're here with a bang.

8
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.000
We're very, very excited because today
we're going to be reviewing a classic

9
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.040
episode all the way from season six
of The Simpsons. It is Home of

10
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.040
the Great. I am Dano and
I am guy here with Dando the Great.

11
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.120
It's trying to be very nice to
be back here for another year,

12
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.319
twenty twenty four. Man, I
mean, just saying these year names is

13
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.640
starting to do my head in my
way. Well, I grew up in

14
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.319
the seventies and eighties, and of
course they were being a little nerd.

15
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.120
I was watching sci fi movies or
even seeing posters of science fiction movies,

16
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.560
and they're always talking about the future, of the far flung future. And

17
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.120
you know Blade Runner was twenty nineteen. I'm like, I'll never see that

18
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.319
Wow flaning cos that's that movie Soil
and Green. Yeah, it's like the

19
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.719
year is twenty twenty two, the
Earth basically sucks. I'm like, oh

20
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.599
boy, that's that's the good.
That's in the future too, twenty fifteen

21
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.280
flying skateboards and a three D shark
and everything. But the one that struck

22
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.520
me this year there's a sort of
classy cult B sci fi movie called A

23
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.800
Boy and His Dog, and it's
got a great post of taglines like the

24
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.919
year is twenty twenty four a future
you'll probably live to see. The future

25
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.199
sucks in that one, as well
as like, oh god, I'm still

26
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.400
here. Well, I started watching
T two yesterday, right. I bought

27
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.719
it on four K because JB had
their sale. By the way, I'm

28
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:29.240
back on the physical media bandwagon.
Yeah. I was like, because Nicol

29
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:30.159
and I were looking for movies to
watch on Netflix, and I was like,

30
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.039
I'm gonna get a blue ray out
and put it in, and we

31
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.800
put in Deja Vu, oh,
which i'd see it'd never opened. I

32
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.360
was like, then's a Washington Zel. It seems like's gonna be good movie.

33
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.360
Rebat. The description seems like it's
right about Allie. We loved it,

34
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.960
and I was like, oh,
there's all these special features I can

35
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.319
watch as well. I was like, that's right. You can hear what

36
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.879
director Attorney Scott has to say about
this movie while the movie's playing. I

37
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.159
was like, oh, I missed
this. And then now I've been going

38
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.639
through and having I bought up a
Blu rays because I like seven dollars each

39
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.800
now because they're trying to clear them
out at JBI. I find I'm like

40
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.400
audio commentary, audio commentary, and
the kids love the idea now, the

41
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.960
novelty of opening it up, putting
the disc in, they love it.

42
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.560
I'm just like, I'm right back
on the bandwagon again, hooray after you

43
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.680
gave away or sold so many of
them. I gave away a shitload of

44
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.039
my Blu rays and dvdies to my
sister's boyfriend, like many many before.

45
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.400
I met Nicola right back now,
and I'm like it makes my heart.

46
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.840
I just can't. I don't want
to think about it. It's like heartbreaking.

47
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.479
I'm just like, what is he
doing with them? Is he taking

48
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.919
care of them? If you watching
them? Haven't you? But yeah,

49
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.039
so watching Tea too, and it's
like, this is the nineteen ninety seven

50
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.120
and I was like when the world
like ended, and I was like,

51
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.800
oh shit, I didn't realize they
like James Cameron, this came out and

52
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.599
what ninety one? You could have
planned a little bit further in or do

53
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.479
you think the fact that was close
enough made it feel more like hitting home?

54
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.879
I think I think that's the second. I think the ladder. Absolutely,

55
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.680
yeah, Okay, it's like,
look at it's not too far off.

56
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.680
Clean up your act. But yeah, but you say twenty twenty four

57
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:59.240
like it's reminding you of just oh
yeah, I'm excited to be the best

58
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.000
Christmas period. I'm excited for twenty
twenty four. Like I've got so many

59
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.159
ideas for this show and just I'm
ready to go. Well cool, because

60
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.800
I've got a few ideas as well. I doubt they'll be as good as

61
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.960
yours, but still, well,
we'll throw them out there and we'll just

62
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:16.360
keep providing wonderful, wonderful content for
the four Fingered Discount family. Yeah,

63
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.959
exactly right. So every month and
now at least once a month, we're

64
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.720
going to be revisiting a classic episode
of the show. So this week obviously

65
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.560
help me the great probably make it
the first podcast of every month, we'll

66
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.920
be revisiting a classic. We're also
got a bunch of great guest lined up

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.240
for future episodes as well, joining
us to review classic episode is going to

68
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.920

Of course, don't forget. We also

69
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.319
do Going Down a south Park,
which have just entered season four, and

70
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:42.079
boy is it becoming the south Park
that I remember. I was looking at

71
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.480
the titles of their lives in season
four It's like, oh, okay,

72
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:53.759
yes, we are getting into strange
new places or areas that you might consider

73
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.240
controversial. Yeah. Yeah, So
the first I want, the first episode

74
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.920
I believe, is the Two Theories
Tat's two thousand, which we're going to

75
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:02.160
be we're recording chat we record this
one actually, so if you like south

76
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.800
Park, check out that as well, plus all the exclusive shows we do

77
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.560
on our Patreon Talking someone Fowl speaking
of the Hill tells a few drama and

78
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.839
the movie guys, but homely great? Right, So is there any other

79
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.480
way to describe his episode? But
just great? It's just like it is

80
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:21.000
just perfection. It's pretty good.
It's one of the best episodes of all

81
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:25.199
time. But yeah, look,
certainly it is. I mean there's it's

82
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:30.319
got all the hallmarks of what we
call vintage Simpsons or classic Simpsons. Absolutely,

83
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.399
and it's smack dab in that period
of like I guess we call it

84
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.399
the Golden Age, don't we got
h Golden Era? Absolutely? I mean,

85
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.360
you know, it's got home.
We're in in a strange situation that,

86
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:46.279
of course he rebels in too much
and eventually sucks up. He learns

87
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.319
a valuable life lesson. By the
very end of it, You've got a

88
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.240
fantastic guest. I love the episodes
that incorporate as many characters as possible,

89
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.160
and what they do here, they
don't just do that, they do it

90
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.120
in a way that you've never seen
before. Like, yeah, characters that

91
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.639
you would normally see engaging with each
other, like for example, Hermann principal,

92
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.920
Skinner, doctor Hibbitt, and Wigham
characters they don't normally see together,

93
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.879
but they're hanging out in this secret
society. But I love the way they

94
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:11.040
poke fun at the Freemasons, but
just secret society in general, and how

95
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.319
thick are they can be. They're
like, this isn't working for us anymore.

96
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.959
Let's change. Change our club.
Well, yeah, I mean I'm

97
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:20.800
always sucker for secret societies. I
mean, and particularly ones that either hold

98
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.600
the reigns of power or train people
to hold the reins of power, or

99
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.240
you know, like, all right, you're going to be helping us run

100
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.879
the show eventually, so come on
board. We'll show you how the world

101
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.439
actually works. Because I don't know, I think people we're all becoming more

102
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:44.120
and more conspiracy theorists as time goes
by. I'm certainly not well maybe not

103
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.680
conspiracy theorists, but I think you
know, you're starting maybe people start to

104
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.920
say, it's like there's a lot
of really rich people who seem to be

105
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.839
controlling things, but they seem to
have a lot more sway over things,

106
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.879
and it seems to be a point
of view that's becoming more and more.

107
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.120
I'm going to sort of, you
know, leak into your social media cas.

108
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.399
You just have to watch one video, as we've always said, you

109
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.319
know, watched one thing on on
YouTube, or click on one link on

110
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:13.240
on x formerly known as Twitter.
Who calls it that's what conspiracy theorists do.

111
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.680
They watch videos on social media and
they get they fall down the rabbit

112
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.439
hole. Oh so it's just me. But you know, I mean when

113
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.240
someone like like Elon Musk buys something
like Twitter and says I'm going to rename

114
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.319
it X and all this kind of
I mean, that's essentially what we were

115
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.360
just saying. It's like, I
don't like the way this is working,

116
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:30.639
so I'm going to take it and
I'm going to change it. I think

117
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.680
it was the fact that it was
working. It was just like I wanted

118
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.279
to make it my own. Well, let's think it was working. It

119
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.800
was working just fine. It just
wasn't work for him, and he had

120
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.639
had the means to sort of say, well, how about I buy your

121
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.720
precious new toy and turn it into
and now it's all made, you can

122
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.959
play with it occasionally. Just a
rich guy with power essentially, And but

123
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.560
we're seeing more and more of those, and they seem to becoming more and

124
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.480
more heroic to a lot of people. I mean, I'm surprised at how

125
00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:00.879
many people like, really dig someone
like Musk and say that guy's hero I

126
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.199
mean, you've got just as many
people saying it's a douche. But I

127
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.600
don't know. I think in a
world, in a world where you know,

128
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.040
it seems like some things are going
off the rails we look to there's

129
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.279
got to be someone pulling the strings
behind it, all right, it can't

130
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.120
be all chaotic. So that's I
think that's the appeal of something like or

131
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.399
that lies at the base of the
appeal of someone like Home of the Great.

132
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.959
It's like, probably is some organization
that's you know, someone's got to

133
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.160
know something right or all just idiots
overall, just idiots like the stone cut.

134
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.279
Also the Homer twist I think was
a really fun one as well,

135
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.360
with him being the chosen one.
A lot of the way they planted the

136
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.720
seed earlier in the episode where most
like and it's being foretold that there's a

137
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.200
chosen one, I was like,
a whatever. And then I remember watching

138
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.080
this as a kid, going I
didn't see that coming. I think when

139
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.679
you're a little kids watching that,
you're I mean, that's something that might

140
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.120
slip by you. But I mean
the more sort of stories you hear,

141
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.279
the more TV you watch or movies
you watch or whatever, it's like a

142
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.039
plan to to seed there or it's
like, oh, that's as we say.

143
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.480
You know Chekhov's gun. You know
you're introduced in the first act,

144
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.120
that's going off on the third so
it's nice to see that Homer becomes a

145
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.120
chose one. But yeah, but
I like that that's not that's a midpoint

146
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.639
sort of turn or a midpoint revelation, and then you know, you've got

147
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.639
a bit to play with it once
he's got that, and that sort of

148
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.360
sets up the valuable lesson as well
that you know, yeah, it's fun

149
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.240
to have power, but you know, having too many yes men around,

150
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.360
you're having, you know, everyone
at your beck and call can eventually become

151
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.759
I don't know, kind of dull, kind of like the Michael Jackson theory

152
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.600
where it's like he could have anything
he ever want to, just go shopping

153
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:37.960
and go, I want that,
I want that, I want that,

154
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.080
and he was so unfulfilled with life, which is why it basically he got

155
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.000
addicted to painkillers because he just wants
to numb the pain of just it was

156
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.600
like people say that you can money
can't buy everything, but it's like people

157
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.360
who don't have money go, oh, yeah, it's easy for you to

158
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.240
say that, but it's like you
people who have money, and it's like

159
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.720
they're not happy. That's true.
I mean a lot of them anyway,

160
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.159
Well, yeah, here's that's what
they do with the money. That is

161
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.559
true. His stories about people who
you know, win absurd amounts of money

162
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.759
in a lottery and they either blow
it all really quickly or so like not

163
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.240
as heavy as they do it.
It was I was looking on Facebook today

164
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.000
and time zones are funny. Everyone
is celebrating New Years at different times,

165
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.200
or you know, they're entering twenty
twenty four at a slightly different time.

166
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.799
And this person, I know,
she was a journalist in Sydney, but

167
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:28.159
she was originally from the UK and
she decided to quit Sydney go back to

168
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.759
where she grew up and she also
works in the media. So I was

169
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.080
like, a times are precarious.
But she's saying, look, I'm not

170
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.279
making nearly as much as I used
to. I still sort of working things

171
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.159
out, but having a lot less
has made things so much simpler, you

172
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.440
know, I made life so much
easier for me and give me a lot

173
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.679
more clarity and focus in life.
Now, maybe that's her just being class

174
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.919
hut full, but honestly, it
makes a lot of sense to me because

175
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.600
we've talked a lot in the past
about you know, having too many options

176
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.759
and how it can sort of going
on Netflix. Yeah, exactly. It's

177
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.960
been an hour flicking trying to find
something. Yeah, spending ten minutes flicking

178
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.080
three years, three or four kas. But the thing is, I've said

179
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.120
to Nicol yesterday, what I like
now with the kids is they put the

180
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.120
disk in, they sit there and
they watch the movie. It used to

181
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.519
be the remotes in their hand.
They knew they had to push one button.

182
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.440
They can have the entire library at
their disposal. Now it's they understand

183
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.159
you put the disk in, you
have to watch the whole disk, and

184
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.879
then you take it out. I
told him that once it's in, you're

185
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.960
gonna watch the whole thing. And
they sit there and they watch the whole

186
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.679
thing. Their attention span is improving
because they're not flicking. That's great maintain

187
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:31.720
that hopefully physical media. Man.
It also gives me two hour break during

188
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.759
the day when I'm watching the kids. Over the fucking school holidays, Man,

189
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.960
it's been hectic. How much longer
is that when they go back to

190
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.720
Ali start school for the first time
in three weeks? I want to say

191
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.159
it is and I'm like, I'm
like nervous about it. Of course,

192
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.120
he's not a little dude anymore.
He's like he's going to school and he's

193
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.480
going to be going every day,
and I just hope he doesn't get bullied.

194
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.679
And it's just cats in the cradle
man. Yeah, Like, I

195
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.639
just don't know. I don't think
I'm going to cry, but I hope

196
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.080
maybe I will. It probably will, It probably will, but I don't

197
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.559
know. It's like I'm try to
prepare him for it, but I just

198
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.600
sort of prepare myself for it as
well. That's very much the case.

199
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.080
I mean, look, yes,
says the man with no kids, but

200
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.200
you know I've been around enough for
enough families where yeah, it's very much

201
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.879
a common thing that, yeah,
you're worried about them, but you're also

202
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.799
worried about yourself because you know,
you're separating what has been a part of

203
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.679
yourself from yourself. Yeah, Because
sometimes it's like over the holidays here,

204
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.320
it's just been watching two kids all
the time because Nicholas been doing some work

205
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.080
and it's just those two kids together
all day. They get along, they

206
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.320
know, they say that each other's
best friend, but sometimes they've just had

207
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.080
enough of each other, right,
And I'm just like, ah, fucking

208
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.799
our kids. And then I see
like a thing on Facebook where it's like

209
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.759
cherish the moments when their children.
I'm like, oh, that's right,

210
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.519
my children come back, come to
the children, old please you in the

211
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.639
mantle. But yeah, I absolutely
adore this episode, and I thought Patrick

212
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.000
Stewart was just like so great.
I was about to say, old mate,

213
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.960
Pat stew rocks up, and this
is a really good performance for well.

214
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.559
I think the main reason is he's
very much steer steering into the Patrick

215
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.480
Stewart at all meme shuet. Yeah, it's got that lovely it's just got

216
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.480
that wonderful stentory in the voice of
his that makes it oh, okay,

217
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.320
Yeah, this guy is definitely you
want someone running the show or steering the

218
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.240
ship of the Stonecutters. But he
also puts just enough sort of pompousness on

219
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.519
it to make you realize this guy's
a bit of a clown. And also

220
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:26.320
they give him a lot of deflating
gags as well. I mean, the

221
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.080
whole we control the world and we
review the world's secrets. Let's oket drunk

222
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.279
and play ping pong. I was
wonder if I paused because I was one

223
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.360
of I was going to blow one
of my trivia okay, because I want

224
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.600
to do well with my trivia questions. But it's like to note we have

225
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:48.039
ribs. It's like all these wonderful
and pa, I was going to bring

226
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.320
that up. That's just that bit
from the Lane. I rewatched it,

227
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.559
and it's not that like the actual
bitch, yeah, the actual bit like

228
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.360
Melanie's like he played it up like
I watched his, like Salt and Papa,

229
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:03.200
and I'm like, I was expecting
Salt and Papa. You're exaggerated for

230
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.720
comic effect. What a guy.
Oh but yeah, no, Patrick's it

231
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.399
was a fantastic Yeah, a fantastic
guest star. You're right. And getting

232
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:20.360
him to say battling of the swallow
Ass with paddles, that's more like it's

233
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:28.519
she's delivery is like, now,
I never really got into Next Generation.

234
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:30.679
I mean I've never really been much
of it. I want to. I've

235
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:31.960
wanted to get into Star Trek.
I've just never bothered to. Really,

236
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:35.519
There's something about it just doesn't captivate
me. Like you look at Star Wars

237
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.200
and it's like, you know,
you've got your droids and your spaceships,

238
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.399
and I know that you get that
in Star Trek, but it's like it

239
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.399
looks like the grown up version of
Star Wars. When I was kid,

240
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.480
I was like, this looks like
boring Star Wars. This looks like diplomacy.

241
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:54.879
This is the exploration and works.
Man, you didn't have any lazy

242
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.720
bitch. What's going on? Yeah? What's happening? Yeah? Yeah.

243
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.360
Now, before we get into our
review of the episode in our favorite most

244
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.840
trivia and whatnot, we've got a
few things here. So when this episode

245
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.720
originally aired, right, the number
one movie at the US box office was

246
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.480
Dumb and Dumber. Okay. The
number one song in the US Billboard charts

247
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.840
was on Bended Knee by Boys to
Men and who also had another ten spot

248
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.000
with I'll Make Love to You,
So it seems Boys to Men were right

249
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.679
up there in nineteen ninety five was
the beginning in the end? Yeah.

250
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.480
January eighth, ninety five was when
this episode and I love how the running

251
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.080
the spectrum of black I'm gonna get
down on Bendney? Why am I?

252
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.200
Why am I doing? Drodric Tadam, I don't know boys to Men and

253
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.679
proposed marriage to you by the way, I'll move live to you do you?

254
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.000
And the number one song in the
UK was cutt Nyie Joe. I

255
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.960
read next, Oh, my god. The difference on Bended Knee and Cotton

256
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.360
Night Joe. Oh god, I
was night climbing at that stage, and

257
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.519
you know, Cott Night Joe like
a bit of a hodown on the dance

258
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.559
floor. It was kind of ridiculous. Yeah, but you going into it,

259
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.360
had a good time, had a
few drinks, Yes, got gotten

260
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.559
Cotton Eye Joe. Where do you
come from? Where do you go?

261
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.639
Miss? These questions will never be
answered. I love that song when I

262
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.279
was a kid, though, And
the number the top of the the New

263
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.080
York Times bestseller list was politically Correct
Bedtime Stories by James Finn Garner. I

264
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.360
have never heard of that, I
know, but January eighth, nine twenty

265
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:12.240
five, that's what was number one
around the world. When episode Fantastic didn't

266
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.919
look up what was tops in Australia? Well, do people really care about

267
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:22.279
Australia? We do. The other
thing is I couldn't find anything on Australia.

268
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.200
Probably not. Do you find Aria
charts? I guess I could find

269
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:26.919
ARI chart. Should do it?
No? I do it? Next episode,

270
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.639
We'll do it. Yes. But
yeah, Dumb and Dumbell was number

271
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.039
one at the US box office,
and it'd been number one for like five

272
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.559
straight weeks. It was it was
a different time. It was a monster.

273
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:40.039
Yeah, my favorite al right,
favorite moments from the episode, mister

274
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.200
davis favorite moments, Well, I
think I mentioned old mate Pat Stewart.

275
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.240
Yes, did very very well.
I was a big fan of just the

276
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.679
opening with the plumber. Yes.
I don't think I've had bad plumber experiences.

277
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.519
I had many bad trading experience.
Well. I remember I had the

278
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.360
guy who was trying to like change
our hot water system and he's like,

279
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.279
it's gonna be have to be done
today. It's going to cost you like

280
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.480
five grand. And what was his
name? Was it Bruce or Bruce,

281
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:04.920
Yes, and he was just like, no, tell me to go away.

282
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.119
He hero Bruce, f that guy
off, and I'll come and do

283
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.119
it for two and a half or
literally half the price. And I was

284
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.799
like, holy ship, and we've
had no issues with the sins. Nice

285
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.279
one, Bruce. I would argue
that water comes through fast than it ever

286
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:26.079
had before. Yeah, Bruce,
Yeah, he is no stern lecture plumbing.

287
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.440
I just love that guy. And
they're filling his pipe. I could

288
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.279
pipe. I thought that was great. Put a pan down there. I

289
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.519
was a big fan of Lenny's secret
voice, and it's a secret. Yeah.

290
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.759
I don't know if Lenny's voice in
these earlier episodes seems different to his

291
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:49.200
later voice. It's more nasally,
I think, yeah, which, and

292
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.599
I don't know, I just like
it a lot more. I mean,

293
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.400
Harry's sheer I was just got older. I guess, I guess. Yeah.

294
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.640
You listen to his characters now and
you're like, oh boy, he

295
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.599
listened to a few voices and now
I was like, bully, Yeah,

296
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.359
but yeah, it's a secret.
That's fantastic. I love to pay off

297
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:11.599
with the Carl drinking the frown shut
up. Also, I love that he

298
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.400
was in the pocket a big egg. Yes, that's one of the gags

299
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.559
that still to this day, I
never quite understand the egg cancel gag.

300
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:19.279
And this is a guy and an
exit running away. I really kid going

301
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.640
I don't get this, and teenager, I'm like, I don't get this.

302
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:29.240
As a thirty five field, still
I get this. There's big tobacco,

303
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:30.519
there's big farmer, and there's also
big egg. It's just it's just

304
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.400
a silly John Swartswater gig. It
really is, it really is. But

305
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:37.720
if we're going to favorite moments,
we're not just talking favorite moments of the

306
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.480
episode. There's one of my favorite
Simpsons moments of all to you, and

307
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:47.079
I just love this gag so much. It is just wonderful. And it's

308
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.279
you know, Lisa trying to word
Homer up about you know, going power

309
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.599
mad and quite a bit of Shakespeare, and it was like, beware the

310
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:03.200
eyes of March. What's same as
reponse? No, No, I'm sorry.

311
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.720
That's just a perfect and I just
love that so much. It's like

312
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:11.920
so built up. I mean yeah, I mean it's from God. I'm

313
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.519
probably going to misquote my Shakespeare,
but I'm pretty sure it's from Macbeth.

314
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.200
And you know, it's a very
portentous line and leads to the downfall of

315
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:30.559
our titular anti hero. It's deployed. It's like why should I so yeah,

316
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.319
I mean, that's that's one of
one of my favorite Simpsons moments of

317
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.119
all time. And honestly, it
wasn't until they were sitting on the couch

318
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:44.640
and I literally sort of did the
fist because you mentioned that moment so many

319
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.039
times. I guess this has met
your most quoted line. It's about of

320
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:51.440
all time. It probably is.
I think when Dan and I first met,

321
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.839
you know, we started talking about
the Simpsons and we may have gone

322
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.839
It may have been the actual IDEs
of March, which is like is it

323
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.079
the first of March or the third
of the Yeah, that's right, yeah,

324
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.039
something like that. And that was
that date. And I say,

325
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:10.720
you're one of my favorites, this
fu girl. Yeah you oh man,

326
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.880
I just said, I teach you
how to use photo shout. It doesn't

327
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.759
make his burty? All right?
What did you? What were your face?

328
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:19.920
Well you've covered both a couple of
minds. But I also just love

329
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:23.440
going down the slide and just a
reaction. Somebody get the jaws alive?

330
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.079
Well, is there anything more humiliated
than mean caught in a tube? I

331
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:36.039
went down a slide at McDonald's recently
and I literally go halfway down. I

332
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.759
was like, I'm not stuck,
but it's just awkward. I like,

333
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.599
manoeved my way down. Your body's
not little enough that it can yeah,

334
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.079
because I had like call on my
lap and I got to a point where

335
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.000
going down I had to lay down
to my back and then she just sort

336
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.759
of got stuck in my legs and
was sort of like tangled, and I

337
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.279
was like, holy you go save
yourself trying to kick her out. Yeah,

338
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:59.839
so going through I'm at that point
now in my life where I get

339
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:02.640
to playground and I'm like, should
I go in there? I should?

340
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.920
I will I be able to get
out because but I was a kid,

341
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.440
I was just like go for it. When I was a teenager, you

342
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:07.839
go for it. Now I'm just
like, I can get it, wait

343
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.240
for it. But I assess the
assess the situation. Should I be going

344
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.960
in there? And so I hate
tight spaces. So if I ever get

345
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.720
caught in they thing like that,
I just instantly have like a panic attack.

346
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.559
I think I've discussed I discussed on
my way back from England when I

347
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.720
was on the elevator and it didn't
work. The doors closed, it open,

348
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.039
and I just had like an instant
meltdown. I was just like I

349
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.960
didn't scream, but I was just
like I could feel my heart race,

350
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.160
So I was almost having a Have
you ever had a panic attack? Yes?

351
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:34.920
Yeah, terrifying. Oh yeah,
you feel so helpless? Absolutely?

352
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.880
Yeah. Yeah, I mean you've
got I've been doing a bit of research

353
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:42.400
on brain chemistry and all this kind
of stuff lately, and I'm probably fucking

354
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.960
all this up. But you know
you're getting something. I think it's cortisol

355
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.079
messes with your brain as well,
but yeah, you feel your heart racing

356
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.759
and all this kind of business.
Oh god, nothing worse than your just

357
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.599
that loss of control. It's like
when you're on a smaller scale when you

358
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.039
feel your pockets and you think you've
lost your phone or something, and that

359
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.519
instant feeling of look, worrying,
concerned if you feel it in your chest

360
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.799
and then you feel it it's in
the back pocket, in the relief.

361
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:07.440
But then yeah, I mean,
oh god, I had that on Christmas

362
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:14.440
Day. Yeah, because you couldn't
find your presents. Joke, Santa no,

363
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.240
no, I did pretty well in
the present stake. I think we

364
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:19.400
both put our little hauls up on
the patrons page. And yes, yeah,

365
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:25.279
I've got a thief and guy the
record there it is with my with

366
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:30.440
my collection of records. I got
the Wiggles, Best of Albums, Matchbox

367
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:32.480
twenty, yourself or someone like you, because we're going to see them in

368
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:37.000
a month or so for real.
Yeah, nice, nice, But Lou's

369
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.079
coming over to pick me up.
We're going down to my sister's place.

370
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.559
I'm balancing. I'd made macaroni and
cheese and it was fresh out of the

371
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.720
oven. So I'm trying to balance
it on this tray. It's getting a

372
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.519
little slightly, it started to rain. I'm trying to balance that. I've

373
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.720
also got just an envelope with a
card and a present in it for my

374
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:02.160
for my nephew. Yeah, and
then the door closed behind me, and

375
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:03.279
I'm like, oh, well that's
fine, I didn't I didn't snip it.

376
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:07.079
Oh it's snipped. Oh I'm locked
out. My keys are inside.

377
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.960
And then I get outside and I'm
waiting for it, and I'm like,

378
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.160
well, I work this out when
I get home, gat back in and

379
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.160
then footpath is slippery. I'm trying
to sort of balance and honestly, the

380
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.039
mac and cheese in the tray,
it came so close and I'm like,

381
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.359
I can't grab this thing because it's
fucking scolding hot. So I've got it,

382
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.319
honestly got it looked like bloody he's
sirked as lay or some ship.

383
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.000
But it almost went into the fucking
garden. If that had happened, what

384
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.960
would you have done? Any thinking
we'll just give it up on Christmas Day?

385
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:37.599
I would have just cried. I
literally would have like burst in their

386
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.480
tears. Lou would have come to
an industry with like mac and hot mac

387
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:48.759
and cheese dripping from my head and
go quiss me. Luckily it all worked

388
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.720
out me and and then well,
of course Lou's got to key on my

389
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.599
place. It's in the mid in
my handbag. Don't worry about it,

390
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.799
like this is all good. We
get to talking about that. Oh yeah,

391
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:04.119
because because Christmas Morning was kind of
a band of the day. Luckily,

392
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.440
the mac and cheese was big hit
was a big here. Yeah yeah.

393
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:08.359
He said it wasn't going to be
your standard mac and cheese. It

394
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.920
was going to be elite mac and
cheese. That sort of Yeah. I

395
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.440
mean, I'm going to start calling
this person friend of the pod. Recipe

396
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.960
Tin Eats is a site on a
YouTube channel just as sort of good basic

397
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.759
recipes, but they've got a little
bit of flair to them. And Lou's

398
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.960
got the cookbook and I was looking
on the side as one of that she

399
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.200
does mac and cheese. It's got
interesting cheeses in it and you know,

400
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.599
not too fancy but looks pretty.
I love blending cheeses. Oh it's so

401
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.480
exciting. She was like, you
could use regular chedable. Why don't you

402
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.160
try gru Yeah, And I'm like, oh, remember that it's stink.

403
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.319
It's like it does stink to make
but one very nice in the mouth though,

404
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.519
yeah, yeah yeah, And like
we went out from on newars E

405
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:49.200
parties and Christmas parts and all these
dips and stuff and all these cheese and

406
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.799
I'm like, we're gonna have that
cheese and that cheese and that cheese on

00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.319
the one cracker and no one's going
to stop me. What's your favorite cheese?

408
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.759
By the way, Oh golly,
I'm look, I'm a bit of

00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.240
a basic bitch, but like a
nice came and beer or yeah, yeah,

410
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.680
bre for me, but I forget. One of our friends went on

411
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.839
a date and apparently she said to
me, we're going out for dinner,

412
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.039
and she says, what's your favorite
cheese? And what do you think?

413
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:21.160
The guy said, singles tasty.
It's like tasty is great? Yeah,

414
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:22.359
this when a date. You're trying
to impress the girl, she says,

415
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.359
and you can tell that she's like
a kind of sewer of cheese. What's

416
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:29.759
your favorite cheese? Don't say tasty? What do we have a dinner?

417
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:36.079
Sausages and veg and that could be
Yeah, you could be fantastic gourmet sausages,

418
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:40.759
you know, and perfectly, you
know, mashed potato with truffle oil

419
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:45.160
and beautiful baby peas and little potato
skins in there. Oh man, that

420
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:47.720
sounds really nice. That's how Marge
makes it, with a little skin in

421
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:51.000
the potato. I do that,
do you? This doesn't do that?

422
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:52.240
You just start doing that? I
reckon. I always saw as a kid

423
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.400
that it would The gag was that
it would taste bad. But no,

424
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:59.480
I tasted it once at a restaurant. I'm like the skins. You're the

425
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:04.079
skins now. Sadly, I am
let's see how well we go this.

426
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:10.400
But I am off carbs for the
early years, for the immediate time being.

427
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:11.839
New year, New guy, New
year, new guy. I mean,

428
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.440
I've been out, been out walking, I've got my flash new watch.

429
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.279
How did your macis thing last?
Do you do that for a while?

430
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.960
Right? Yeah? But then I
fell off the wagon. I fell

431
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:26.839
at the wagon hunt. You know, so I thought have recorded record sales

432
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:36.920
a half of three twenty three.
I bove you know, because you get

433
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.200
the app, and you know you
think I had some notifications off. I'm

434
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.400
a raising it. I'm taking it
off the phone because it's like, you

435
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.200
know, if I oh and extra
points, then you know I can get

436
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.960
a free apple pie almost every time. Oh my god, what a five

437
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.119
dollar deal for two cheeseburgers and the
small meal. That sounds fantastic, just

438
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.240
what I need for my midnight stack. So I'm eating it, and I'm

439
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.559
eating it late. This is no
good, especially for a man my advanced

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.519
major junk foods, my pizza or
whatever like that. But then let's just

444
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.079
get KFC. And I was like
eleven forty five at night. I was

445
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.119
just getting sliders and popcorn, chicken
and all this shit. And I'm just

446
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:21.839
like, it's anything better than just
eating shit food late at night. Oh

447
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:23.279
No, there's nothing better. Oh
mate, it was. It was just

448
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:26.119
awesome sitting there watching the New year
in is eating KFC. Why do you

449
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.920
think I was doing it? Yeah, so yeah, but not doing that

450
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.519
anymore? So yeah, okay,
So yeah, unfortunately massed potato off the

451
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.079
table for the time being likewise,
I much potato off the carbs. Yeah,

452
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.079
it's all yeah, potato, potato
passed and rice that's the main one.

453
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.240
But that seems like carbs are such
a big thing to just eliminate.

454
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.920
Like for someone like me, I
can go. I can do that,

455
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.200
but like you said, once you
fall off the wagon, I fall off

456
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.759
at hard. Yes I've learnt now
for me, for someone with my mentality,

457
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.960
I need to just reduce things.
So I'm like once a week or

458
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.880
you know, don't completely remove,
because once I comp remove something, once

459
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.079
I allow myself to have it again, I just go hard. Well yeah,

460
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.759
so I mean I'm looking at I
mean, what I'm trying is and

461
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.839
listeners, you may know something about
this called the keto just essentially you know

462
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.559
it's zero carbs, ero, sugar, all that kind of stuff, and

463
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.400
yeah, heavier on the good fats, I suppose the saturated fats, a

464
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:22.759
lot of a lot of green leafy
vegetables, all that kind of stuff.

465
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.480
Like looking at it, going I
can actually pull this off. I mean,

466
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:27.480
you know, I can get myself
a couple of nice chicken dice,

467
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:30.599
marinate and put them on the grill, Like I hate chicken. THI is

468
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.160
my healthy days like chicken thighs like
bad for you. So I'm like,

469
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.519
I hate chicken Thi's I'm away was
a chicken breast. My chicken brests so

470
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:40.440
expensive. Chicken dies are much the
same. Yeah expensive now I think I

471
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:41.759
think they used to be. Was
working the dallies out like the cheap The

472
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.720
year is twenty twenty four. Everything
is expensive looking podcasts. Be a patron.

473
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.680
We went out to go and get
I like to go sipmoking some stuff

474
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.839
at dinner last night. Right,
I bought like some some foil and some

475
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.559
clean wrap, which just a couple
of extures like that, and it's like

476
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:59.440
that'd be sixty seven dollars please,
And I was like what what what O

477
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:03.160
look at the bus and I'm like
how Yeah, it's insane. I mean

478
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:10.200
I received a couple of nice gift
cards from various Yeah well well in addition

479
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:11.839
to the lovely Amazon one that have
you used it yet? No? No?

480
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.440
Yeah, you get turned it into
extra money. Remember that's the deal.

481
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.559
I realized the gift came with like
a disclaimer, but also got like

482
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.559
they basically just called like the f
post card or the perfect card where it's

483
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:27.039
like you take it anywhere. But
my mentality is like, wh do just

484
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.920
put them cashing the card? Why
go through the trouble of buying this f

485
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.079
post card? Just money in the
card money to me, I'm far more

486
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:34.720
excited. I get a fifty dollars
note in my hand. I'm like,

487
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.880
it's fifty dollars. Unfortunately cash is
no longer king. I mean I did

488
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.640
that, would lose kids. They
all got. I got a nice pineapple

489
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:47.480
each and yeah, exciting, it
is nice. I got the Amazon gift

490
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:52.279
and I was like, yeah,
yeah, yeah, but these other just

491
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.240
regular gift cards. You can use
them just about anywhere anywhere you use their

492
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.000
post and I'm like, I think
I'm using these of the Supermarke you can

493
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.240
can okay, yeah, because they
won't let you use I tried to just

494
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.119
after paid to their supermarket and like, oh man, for real, Yeah,

495
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.200
they'dn't let me. Oh that sucks. I was like, I wonder

496
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:12.799
if I could just after pay this. I can imagine so many people do

497
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:15.400
a huge shop and it it's never
paid. I think they do yeah,

498
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.839
or paid off on the never never
y they call it. Yeah. I

499
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.559
mean, I've got to look at
my it's been a little one since I

500
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:23.839
looked at my after pay thing because
now I'm too scared to look at it

501
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:26.559
Christmas time. I panic. I'm
like, I can't do it. I

502
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.440
know I went too crazy, and
I know I just prefer to put my

503
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.759
head in the sand. I bought
a couple of things just as not even

504
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.799
on Boxing Day sales. They had
pre Boxing day Boxing day sales. You

505
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:45.200
know, so I box testiles started
in August, didn't they forget like Friday?

506
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.119
That's what suckers? Uh yeah,
but no, I'm gonna have to

507
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.440
look out a look at it and
go, Okay, No, I think

508
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.119
I can pull this up before the
before the end of January or whatever,

509
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:59.559
so we'll see how it goes.
But I mean with some of these,

510
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.359
I'm like, yeah, we're gonna
be using these gift cards just to get

511
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.079
stuff from the supermarket, foil and
cling rap and whatever. But good luck

512
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:08.119
with you, no carbs and say
there we go, Thank you very much.

513
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.640
Yes, hopefully the audience here they'll
keep you on track because you have

514
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:15.519
to, you know, tell the
audience I failed. I hate carbs.

515
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.680
So this podcast will keep you keep
your going. This is the account you're

516
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.400
gonna be all my accountability buddies.
So we're gonna what we're gonna be doing

517
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:22.759
at the start of every podcast going
forward. We're gonna have a carb counter

518
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:26.440
and you're gonna tell us how many
carbs you've can chew. Well, that's

519
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.039
the thing I mean. On my
fancy new Samsung Galaxy Watch, gifted me

520
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.839
by the lovely Louise. Yeah,
it does all manner of things which I

521
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.279
have yet to install right now.
I just tell the time on it and

522
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:40.319
occasionally use the stop watch and also
the stress meter. I love that the

523
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:41.559
watches. They can do anything.
It's like, tell me the time and

524
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.960
stop watch that's all I need.
I can change my what I'm listening to

525
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:49.440
on YouTube music or something like that. But it does have a stress meter,

526
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.079
and the first few times I was
used like you're in the red I'm

527
00:31:52.119 --> 00:32:00.519
like the what I'm sitting here jacket? They're increasing these stresses all right,

528
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.680
trivia time, mister Davis. But
of course it means we also need to

529
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:21.319
what a fitting episode. Holy,
that's very appropriate. What a way to

you for being a pod. Well,

543
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:13.519
let's do it. Let's do it
sometime this month. I think this year

544
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:15.359
what we're going to be doing is
just tackling shows that we haven't tackled.

545
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:20.319
Before. Yeah, we'll do a
few stand alone and based on your response,

546
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:22.599
we may move forward, or we
may just throw it on the heap.

547
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.279
Yeah, well one should I'd like
to start doing. And we've said

548
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:29.160
this before, is just revealing,
like the pilot episode of a show.

549
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:30.920
Yes, like just you know,
once a month, we'll just go and

550
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:35.000
find a pilot of a classic fresh
Prince bal Air from the Sun or thirty

551
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.160
Rock or anything like that, just
review the pilot. Scrubs, Scrubs.

552
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:42.119
I've never said I've never watched Scrubs. Now I believe it's on Disney Plus.

553
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.880
I think, yeah, yeah,
great themes on the themes song,

554
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:46.559
Oh yeah, good show. I
was really into Scrubs for a very long

555
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:50.720
time. I remember when I was
in high school, my friends were either

556
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.200
obsessed with Scrubs or they've never seen
it. It's like it wasn't just like

557
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.960
you were just like a casual view, like either love Scrubs or you just

558
00:33:57.039 --> 00:33:59.400
never saw it. Clearly son of
a good show, Yes, exactly right.

565
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.960
Beast. My first question for you, mister Davis, is this, how

566
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:31.239
many people were already on Homer's lists
before he added stern lecture plumbing, So

567
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:34.559
I would have had to slow it
down and count the more. Well I

568
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:39.599
didn't do that, but I'm going
to say twenty three. No, so

569
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:44.199
we had the bill of rights Grandpa. Now it was written Grandpa, right,

570
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:46.440
and normally Grandpa has written Grandpa in
the Simpsons is really weird like over

571
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:52.360
them. Yeah, but it was
written gr n Dpa, fat free Land

572
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:58.880
Gravity, Emmy's Darwin love this throwback
here the Hastree wol the water slide that

573
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:00.679
you got stack. Oh yes,
yeah, a little bit of a call

574
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.559
back there, Billy Crystal. There
goes one of my trigger questions. Oh

575
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:09.679
okay, God Sola flex the boy. Oh so eleven yes, and twelve

576
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:15.920
was stern lecture? Okay? Then
well cross that question of my list,

577
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:21.960
which former Oscar host was on Homer's
revenge list Krystal instead. What is Lenny's

578
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:23.320
license plate number? Oh, I've
got that as well. It is h

579
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:28.320
A two nine EAG. That is
correct. Well done, you you get

580
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.280
a point. Who did Homer stalk
for digging up his garden? Oh,

581
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:39.760
Charles Carrolt, Yes, somebody did
something? Did I mentioned ribs earlier?

582
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:45.480
Which anniversary of the stonecutters are they
celebrating with the devouring of ribs? It's

583
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:50.039
like fifteen hundredths or something. It
is indeed the fifteen hundred Yeah. What

584
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.400
was the last name of the other
Homer who was allowed into the club?

585
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.679
Damn it? I wanted to I
wanted to rewind and check this out because

586
00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:59.239
that was a great little callback.
Yeah it was. That was a really

587
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:02.000
good gag. I want I want
to say glumpkin, but that glumplet yeah,

588
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:07.440
polto yeah, globe lit. Except
that sounded a bit too much like

589
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:09.840
blunkin' don't urban dictionary that. Oh, okay, I won't do that.

590
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.239
I don't know what that means.
Should I not do it? It's sounds

591
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:20.320
a bit gruss Okay, Mmm,
what type of monkeys are hanging with Homer?

592
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:22.719
Very end? It starts with C, doesn't it. It does color

593
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:28.000
colone. Now, what is that
colobus? Colobus? I canna say colonial?

594
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.440
It's a colonial. What number is
mister Burns? Mister Burns is number

595
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:36.280
twenty nine, Lennin Carl we're fourteen
fifteen, right, Carl was twelve,

596
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.960
Lenny was fourteen fourteen twelve. Okay, and my last question for you,

597
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:45.760
it's pretty obvious, but name the
four international members or four main members?

598
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:47.360
Shit, nah, you've got me. I remember. George Bush is the

599
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:50.360
one that's like he's like the one
that sort of like level headed, is

600
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:53.719
like, how man, we just
see Yeah this first literally know two seasons

601
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:55.800
later, no, no, the
next season he's going to be moving across

602
00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:58.800
the road from the Homer correct having
a fight. Now, who are the

603
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.320
other ones? I can't remember?
Okay, George Bush Senior, Yeah,

604
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.480
George H. W. Bush.
You got mister T. That's mister T.

605
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.119
Yeah, Jack Nicholson, and I'm
assuming this is all Reddenbucker, the

606
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:13.079
popcorn magnate. Okay. There was
one who I was just like, I

607
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:15.559
don't know who you are, but
obviously somebody Yeah, that's Awvil. I'm

608
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.519
pretty sure it was very Swartzworlder of
this episode in the sense of that some

609
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:23.079
of the references, like Charles was
a child's it's like kids will never get

610
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.719
that. And then as an adult
thirty five, I still don't really know.

611
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:28.280
I have to look it up,
but it's like, but that's very

612
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.199
Swartsworlder. That's the thing. He's
he's either a news anchor or a news

613
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.039
reporter in the US. Yeah,
he used to be like a news reporter.

614
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.000
Yeah yeah, yeah, but it's
just very he loves his old timey

615
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.480
references. Yeah yeah. But the
actual story for this episode came about when

616
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:45.440
when David Merkin was driving home from
a rewrite they were doing and he heard

617
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:49.000
a religious radio show without talking about
freemasonry, and he was like, I

618
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:51.360
don't have the time to do this, but who's the perfect person to write

619
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.239
this? Sworts what another? And
you watch it knowing that Swartzwater wrote it,

620
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:57.480
and you're like, I can really
see this now. He has a

621
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.559
real sort of like no, how
would you of what his style? Like

622
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:05.519
I said, he loves his old
timey stuff. He loves his gags that

623
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:07.079
don't like the egg gag for example, Yeah, that's a swat spot.

624
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:10.280
I guess you could almost say it's
a cod O'Brien kind of gag as well.

625
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:15.760
It's kind of yeah, esoteric,
a little unusual. Yeah, sort

626
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.719
of the joke is that it doesn't
make sense. It's like, if you

627
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:24.199
get it, you get it.
Yeah, But I think he's also enough

628
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:30.880
of a comedy technician that he'll design
the lines that you know, it's funny

629
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:34.000
even if you don't know the reference. Yeah. That's what I love about

630
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.280
these Simpsons compared to like Season eighteen, is that they don't doumb it down

631
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:39.360
for you. Yeah, It's like
they just they expect you to know what

632
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:42.039
they're going for, and if you
don't, too bad, you have to

633
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:46.119
look at yourself. I mean,
they could easily replace a name that you

634
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:51.519
don't necessarily know or a reference that
you wouldn't necessarily immediately get, but the

635
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:53.679
gag surrounding it is strong enough that
you'll go, oh, this is a

636
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:58.199
gag, you know. And of
course you've got Dan and Julian all these

637
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.639
other people sort of at the peak
of the well they not the peak of

638
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:05.079
their powers, but you know,
they're they're really good comedy performers as well.

639
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.880
They know how to put the right
spin on it, so yeah,

640
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:13.199
even go, well somebody had something, did something. Just even adding that

641
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.199
bit to it, it's kind of
like, Okay, we know that Homer

642
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:21.559
is kind of like a stalker and
a conspiracy theorist. He's it bleeds into

643
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:23.559
the story as well. You know
he's going to be of course, he's

644
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:27.760
going to be wanted to be part
of this secret group. Well, Hope

645
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.360
was the perfect candidate for this story. Well yeah, well, and I

646
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:31.199
like the way they sort of said
up at the start as well. And

647
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:36.000
then you know, he never got
to be part of a club. You

648
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:37.280
know, no one wants him to
be part of their club. Why don't

649
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:40.400
people like me? Why doesn't Why
doesn't anybody want me around? And you

650
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:44.880
know, it's having forever and it's
got it's got multiple build ups, and

651
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.280
it's got a lovely payoff at the
end because you know, you know,

652
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.599
you get wholesomeness and the Simpsons who
would I who knew? Who saw that

653
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:57.840
coming? I mean, but that's
a really really just a sweet payoff,

654
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:00.239
A lovely one, isn't it.
I thing that you don't really see coming.

655
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:05.360
Yeah, And like the fact that
that's where because they plan the seats

656
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.039
for that ending throughout the entire episode, but still it sort of still catches

657
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:10.679
you off guards. And the other
thing is, I mean, we've been

658
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:16.280
talking a lot about teen episode,
well episodes of the teenage years for the

659
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:22.239
sentence and how they'll go for this
kind of ending where it's like we love

660
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.079
you and you know you're you know, you're part of this team and all

661
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:28.559
this kind of stuff. Invariably in
the in the lead up to that,

662
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:30.960
throughout the episode, Home has done
shit to know, yeh, fuck up

663
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:37.000
his family or insult or disregard or
disrespect Marge or whatever. This isn't that.

664
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.119
No, No, I mean he's
not. He's not a bad guy.

665
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:43.599
Throughout this episode, he means he
just gets a bit drunk on power

666
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:46.599
and realizes that, oh, it's
not doing anything for me, you know.

667
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:50.199
He's not like, well, I've
got a real family now in the

668
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.079
Stone Gutters, I don't need you. I mean, event if he did

669
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:54.840
that, yeah, it would be
horrible, Like eighteen he would do that,

670
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.559
Yeah, yeah, I mean he
would choose them over his family.

671
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:00.679
He would Yeah, yeah, I've
got to I've got a real family,

672
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:02.239
people who really respect me and all
this kind of stuff. And he he

673
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:07.039
clearly loves his family in this one. And but the ending though that sometimes

674
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:09.679
in season eighteen and whatnot, They'll
give you that nice moment and I'll suck

675
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:13.000
it up with some stupid gag at
the end. This one he had that

676
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:15.719
had a moment, but it wasn't
stupid. No, all right, that's

677
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:20.119
Lisa's turned. I think marg you're
going to say stop, that's enough,

678
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:25.039
No, Lis, that that's backs
great paddling as well. That's great Simpsons.

679
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:30.519
And it's like it's sentimental and it's
earned it, but it's also we're

680
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.000
a bit we're a bit cheeky about
the family dynamic. We also recognize that

681
00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:36.880
sometimes it can be dysfunctional and fucked
up. It's actually my favorite moments.

682
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:42.400
I just love how much Bart was
given it taking this opportunity. Plus we

683
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.800
mentioned it earlier as well, also
missed my favorite moments and going outside to

684
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:50.280
stock. The visual of the stock
like is in his head is like this

685
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:55.239
is working. Yes, I need
I need a ye, it's a different

686
00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:00.119
word for no, just your storm. It works is stock. My final

687
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:05.400
question for you is what is the
hand that Homer has According to Carl in

688
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:08.719
Poker, Oh yeah, it's the
royal Samplo. Yes, yeah, that's

689
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:12.000
why I haven't realizes. Oh this
isn't as good as a cracked up to

690
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:15.480
be. Yeah. All right,
So the original air day of Homer the

691
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:17.960
Great was January eighth, nineteen ninety
five, written by as we said,

692
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.000
John Swartzwolder and directed by Jim Read
and guest Iron Patrick Stewart. Chot board

693
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:28.760
gag chot board gags. Yeah,
I know, back adding just kidding doesn't

694
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:31.000
make it okay to insult the principle
and the cash gag is the living room

695
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:36.800
is modeled after mc ashes eshes is
it esher esha? Yeah, relativity.

696
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:39.119
So the episode kicks off with stern
lecture plumbing, I told you not to

697
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.440
flush that. I love here.
I don't think they do it anymore,

698
00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:45.360
but it used to be whenever they
would go into the basement, you would

699
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.599
see the big giant head that mister
Burns gave but from the blood feud.

700
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.559
I think it was where it donates
blood and save mister Burns. They don't

701
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:53.440
do it anymore, but it was
always nice that they had that little call

702
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:57.400
back every time lay the basement.
It's like because it's like, what did

703
00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:59.079
the family do with their head?
They put it into the basement. How

704
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:00.880
they get into the basement, you
know, but it's there, But then

705
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:05.639
how do they get it out shoulder
anymore? Who knows? But yeah,

706
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.199
so he's basically no help at all
in right of me of the guy who

707
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:12.559
just wanted to sum me up a
river and the cats down there she's swimming

708
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:14.519
around. It's going to take them
two to three weeks with the past to

709
00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:16.719
arrive. As he said, if
I owed him today, which I won't,

710
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:22.920
it call the very nineties thing,
by the way, I know,

711
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.480
right, tell him to put a
pan down there. It didn't work.

712
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:30.039
Then Homer is stuck in a traffic
jam, and yeah, I'm terrible traffic

713
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:32.039
jams. I hate traffic jams.
I know I'm part of the problem by

714
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:36.280
being in the traffic jam. Yeah, just still you feel like the only

715
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:40.320
one is what are you guys doing? I need to get here? If

716
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:44.639
we all just drove really quickly,
yeah, get to where we needed to

717
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:46.800
go. That's going on. But
there's an accident. Who caused the accident,

718
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.559
it's your man, It is only
pie no longer in the sky.

719
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.000
Yeah, but they're always happy to
the arney pie. But although this he

720
00:43:55.159 --> 00:44:00.280
was relatively even tempered as the usual
times we see him. Homer has then

721
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:02.679
parked directly behind the house. Now
this is one of those gags where I

722
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:06.679
feel like, if this happened in
season eighteen, I'd like grill it for

723
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.039
continuity. But there's maybe the more
I go back and reviews at these old

724
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:12.360
ones, I'm like, Oh,
they've been doing this ship since day dot.

725
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.920
Yeah, you know, it's like, ah, maybe I should just

726
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:21.119
go with something sometimes. But the
Linear and car they've got great parks right

727
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:28.639
next to the power plants. Hey, how come you guys got such great

728
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:34.360
parking places. It's a secret shut
up home. And then breaks his stool.

729
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.480
I like, this can save budget
stool, factory sec. So he's

730
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:40.679
not only got the budget stall,
he's got the he's got the what do

731
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:45.719
you call it, the factory sec, the shoddy one here, the runt

732
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.519
of the art of the litter.
But he's that's it. You've made the

733
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.679
list. And Linear and Carbo have
good chairs. And then we get the

734
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.920
first glimpse at the stonecutter slash logo
slash ring when they put the ring into

735
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:06.920
the into the coal machine. That's
right, Hey, you guys want to

736
00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:09.719
go balling tonight, what Betsy,
Yeah, we got things to dope,

737
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:17.440
Like what it's a secret? Shut
up now. This took me back.

738
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:20.800
So a dinner now and home is
annoyed. You know, he says on

739
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:23.320
Wednesday night, they're always doing something, says the Conspiracy. Wednesday Night for

740
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:27.519
me growing up was bowling night.
Oh for my dad. My dad used

741
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:29.719
to be in an inner league team, and every Wednesday night we'd go watch

742
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:31.719
my dad and my uncle Darren,
and they'd always get like a third guy

743
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:35.639
from where they worked. It was
like one year it was a guy called

744
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:37.199
Chad, next year is a guy
called Scottie. And every time they're just

745
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:40.719
like this guy can't do it anymore, that they'd bail out, but like

746
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:44.920
they would win the tournament. And
I'm like the very few times when I

747
00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:46.559
was a kid, I looked after
my dad and be like wow, Like

748
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:50.599
I used to watch a bowl and
I'm like, I got three strikes in

749
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:54.199
a row. That's fine. I
mean, not that weird necessarily make fun

750
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:57.800
of bowling, but you know it's
like, well, that's a that's a

751
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:00.599
game, not a sport. Noting
like that, but watching someone who's really

752
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:06.039
good at bowling, that's d I
love watching bowling. It's one of those

753
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:07.639
sports that I just loved a lot
of darts, Yeah, just like when

754
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:12.159
they get right into it, but
like when the with the with the striking,

755
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:13.639
the bowling ride. I love when
you look at the guy for a

756
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:15.960
gutter ball and that last minute it's
like, yeah, how do you do

757
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:21.400
that? Are you some fucking master
of physics? Yeah? I guess at

758
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:23.440
the end and goes strike and you're
like, how did you make a spin

759
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:30.440
at the end? And I think
I think a lot of these of course,

760
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:34.000
yeah, of course women can do
dots and bullying, but generally it's

761
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.119
you see dudes doing it, or
maybe I'm just watching dudes do it.

762
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:44.360
But the things that the things that
really leap out at me when yeah,

763
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.199
I'll see footage of it, is
that you know, they realize, oh,

764
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:50.239
maybe people aren't taking this seriously,
and they get like a real sort

765
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:53.280
of bragadocio as a result, they
get really cocky, they really showman Like

766
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:57.960
one of my favorite but dants is
very much character driven. Darts is extremely

767
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:01.960
It was like there was some guy
he's like a big fat brett, yeah

768
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:05.360
you know, and he's sort of
lining up and he's He's like, he's

769
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:07.760
a fucking assess. I know the
guy. You mean, he's the best

770
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.679
in the world, basically. I
don't know if I hope it is,

771
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:13.559
but he says, you know,
before he throws the day, he's like,

772
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:16.840
who's in charge? Me or a
devil? I reckon it's me.

773
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.679
I think it's probably Peter Wright or
Phil Taylor, Phil Taylor. I'm not

774
00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:23.199
sure the guy, but my dad
loves those guys. But he looked like

775
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:29.400
someone who like redirect his mail to
the pub. Yeah, because that's where

776
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.000
he lives. Yeah. Yeah,
but they are gods in that room.

777
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:40.280
Yeah, I mean, honestly,
it was like looking like Steve like pick

778
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:44.840
Stephen Sagol or something. He's like, oh god, I'm not talking about

779
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:49.639
that. Steven's talking about under siege. Yeah, I'm talking about above the

780
00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:52.840
law here, just like, oh
my god, don't mess with this guy.

781
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:55.000
Yeah. Yeah, it's just they're
so cocky, but they're probably just

782
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:58.760
lovely people. They're playing it.
They're playing it because there's always a heal

783
00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:00.480
in a baby face. That's right. Yeah, it's both proby wrestling.

784
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:04.800
We've talked about The Iron Four,
haven't we that movie? The I haven't

785
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:07.519
watched it yet, but yeah,
but apparently it's just fucking like so depressing.

786
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:10.039
I was reading a bit about the
Van Erkson just like, oh my

787
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:13.599
god, yeah that story. I've
watched the actual documentary about them that the

788
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:15.199
WW put out years and years ago, and it's just like, oh,

789
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:20.480
man, yeah, not sure them
up for this. No, but that

790
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:23.199
on aw a couple of weeks ago
in their hometown, and a couple of

791
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:25.239
the a W wrestlers are actually in
the movie. It's like, a,

792
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:30.880
yeah, the story is just too
sad for this podcast. Let's not talk

793
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:32.760
about it. Let's let's move on
to It was funny Ship, which is

794
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.440
home of the great But yeah,
so Homer basically thinks it a conspiracy and

795
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.360
bar suggests they could be part of
the Kennedy assassination. I thought this is

796
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:43.599
gonna be the moment where he's like, I was just subscribed to your newsletter.

797
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:45.800
But it wasn't. I thought that
was this moment here. But Marche,

798
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:50.119
there's no more stalking. I mentioned
Corrol, Well something did. I

799
00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:53.440
don't want you stalking anyone tonight.
Oh okay, it your own way,

800
00:48:53.599 --> 00:49:01.400
March. I'll be back in a
minute. I'm going outside too, stuck

801
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:08.760
Lenny and Carl. On paper,
this probably wouldn't read funny, but Dan

802
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:15.119
saying to Stock, that's what just
makes it that that hits it home.

803
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:20.280
But then, how clever was this? The Yellow drip Road was not a

804
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:23.599
bad move. And it's one of
those moments where he's like, it looks

805
00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:25.880
like he's barking up the Rahm bush, Like you know, he has a

806
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:29.800
funny one line. I'm very rarely
has funny one liners like that, but

807
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:34.119
yeah, perfectly follow the Yellow Drip
Road and eventually finds as when he refers

808
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:37.079
to it their secret hiding place.
Even as he's walking in, Homer tries

809
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:42.880
to enter, and it's very much
like Grandpa entering the Burl Scouts. That's

810
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:46.800
one of my favorite gifts of all
time. Oh yeah, straight, like

811
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:52.800
realizing there's some dreadful no winner given
somewhere and lie that nope, walking walk

812
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:57.280
but he's on the roof. He
thinks he's going to get away with it.

813
00:49:57.360 --> 00:49:59.360
They don't know, they're none the
wiser, and it shatters and he

814
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:01.719
falls in. I love this.
There's like you must pay the ultimate price,

815
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:05.519
Yes, the ultimate price, get
out of here. Yeah, it's

816
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:07.960
just throwing it Alecan drunk. Yeah, but I just love the Hibbitt Moe

817
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:10.679
Skinner Wigham home and all hanging out
and it's like, oh this is this

818
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:15.960
is different. But now Homer he
barges into the tea room and Lenny and

819
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.639
Carla and he says he saw some
some weird, strange, sick, twisted,

820
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:22.679
eerie Guila's evil stuff and he wants
in it. And Lenny then let's

821
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:23.719
as sleep and oh, you can't
be this stone Cutters. It's too exclusive.

822
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:27.480
That's a nice secret organization we had
once. There's any two ways of

823
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.000
game membership, which were can you
remember, Ah, yeah, you have

824
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:34.159
to either save well be the sun
of a stone cutter, or save the

825
00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:36.880
life of a stone cutter, which
tries to do He tries to do.

826
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.719
Yes, that could have killed you
by cholesterol, as Lennie said, not

827
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:45.519
yet proven conclusively that they actually raise
a level of serram cholesterol in human bloodstream.

828
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.239
And the A cancel creep got to
him too, A gig, a

829
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:50.760
gag. When I was the kid, I was like, I guess it

830
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:54.480
is FURNI an egg, but I
just never I never quite got it.

831
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:57.199
I think it's one of those things
where have I put it on the page

832
00:50:57.280 --> 00:50:59.719
right now. And why the only
one that was confused by this. I've

833
00:50:59.719 --> 00:51:02.280
got to everyone as a kid was
confused by this gig. We'll feel free

834
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:06.639
to do that. Put something up
on the page. I did a thing

835
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:09.199
I noticed here that I've never noticed
before was Lenny waving him off. I

836
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:15.880
never noticed Lenny do in the way
now, Homer, But no, I'm

837
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:19.400
in bed and Hobad just wants to
know why nobody likes him. Oh,

838
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:22.000
yeah, everyone likes You're a great
person. Well they're stupid idiots. Don't

839
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:23.599
let mean their crapit club for jokes. Then we get the flashback of the

840
00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:27.840
no Homer's club, And as you
were saying earlier, it's a nice setup

841
00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:30.639
to explain why Hommer would feel this
way, or he's always felt like he's

842
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:37.280
been left out. Hey Balie,
Hey jolly, come on in. There's

843
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:42.480
platy of room. Sorry that you, Hober ain't it? But you letting

844
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:49.000
Homer Clumplet look it has no home
burds. We're allowed to have one.

845
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:55.519
They felt so left joke. Kids
can be so cruel. We care face

846
00:51:55.599 --> 00:52:02.679
more. That's basically been my life
for the last two weeks, except it's

847
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:06.159
been wholly hitting Elliott. Oh my
god, Oh my god. Sometimes I

848
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:07.199
just like, I just grow a
set and punch your back. Mate.

849
00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:15.800
I'm just like, She's like,
Dad, like what he's touching me.

850
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:20.119
I'm like, we'll just move.
She's she's following me. I'm like,

851
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:23.960
oh my Holly, okay Dad.
A minute later, Dad, I'm like,

852
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:28.679
oh my god. Children. Then
I said, I see the meme

853
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.320
Cherish moments, Cherish moments. One
day they won't be hitting each other.

854
00:52:35.239 --> 00:52:38.679
Precious memories. Wants to get into
the club, but he know it's absolutely

855
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:42.159
nothing about them, and then Grandpa
keeps trying to say I'm a member.

856
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.920
I'm not listening to him, and
Bart says, remember their self. Hypnosis

857
00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:47.039
classes even done done hypnosis before.
Have you ever done it? No?

858
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:52.519
I never have. I've always been
too scared because I'm like, my brain

859
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:55.119
says that it's all fake, right, But like I feel like if I

860
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:59.480
do it, and I realized that
I'm actually hypnotized, my whole world.

861
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:02.719
But just that you get when we're
done recording this episode, which may take

862
00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:07.039
a very long time. We're enjoying
talking, but we're going to be recording

863
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:09.079
an episode of Going down to South
Park. Yeah, as we said that

864
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:15.480
tooth fairy Tat's two thousand, where
Kyle has his first existential crunch, says,

865
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:19.519
I imagine, Yeah, every kid
who watched the Matrix. Yeah,

866
00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:22.360
I don't trust my brain enough that
if someone started messing around with it,

867
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:25.719
or like I'm going to turn a
key in there, It's like, no,

868
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:29.199
you don't want to do that,
because I've been piling a lot of

869
00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:31.519
stuff behind that door. I don't
want it out. Yeah. Yeah,

870
00:53:31.519 --> 00:53:35.000
it's like my back once I went
to that was it the chiropractor? I

871
00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:37.280
think it was once he tracks my
back once. My back's ever been the

872
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:43.159
same in a bad way, in
a bad way, repeat business exactly right.

873
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:45.639
Oh, you're going to need me
to fix that at least once a

874
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:50.559
week. Yeah. Num by the
Sclen Cottage, Grandpa, Oh sure,

875
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:57.079

mationon a communist owned the president of the

876
00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:01.800
Gain Lesbian Alliance for some reason.
Ah, here it is dust stone cutters.

877
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:06.039

879
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:13.519

in and say okay, and he says

881
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:19.599
he's going to be initiated when number
one gets here and he mocks number one.

882
00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:22.960
It's not very much Season eighteen Homer
a bit. Yeah, I mean

883
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:28.599
yeah, he's been doing a lot
of ooh. So it's usually like saying

884
00:54:28.719 --> 00:54:31.320
you're fruity. It's usually these days, isn't it. Yeah? But they

885
00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:35.800
call each other by their number here
and they outreped mister Burns. That's it,

886
00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:39.000
might he claim the ladder. And
then number one arrives and is the

887
00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:44.239
arrival of Patrick Stewart. And of
course Patricks Drewitt was referred to as number

888
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:46.199
one on the Star Treks and Next
Generation, or he wasn't it was the

889
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:51.639
other way around. He called his
Did he call Ryker number one? I

890
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:53.599
thought he called Richer number one?
Hang on, I could be wrong here.

891
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:55.960
I could be wrong here. Like
I think I said at the very

892
00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:59.480
start, I should start watching Star
Trek the Next Generation, And here I

893
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:02.039
am of saying, and this is
what they say on DNG. The name

894
00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:06.760
of Stewart's character is the reference to
his series Stature Generation, which at the

895
00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:08.760
time had recently ended a seventy year
one in which number one is a nickname

896
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:15.280
used by Captain him Patrick shoot Captain
Pericard for his first officer, William t

897
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:20.519
Ryker. Oh okay, we could
easily erase all that and make it sound

898
00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:24.079
like a chump, or we could
keep it and people would realize that guys

899
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:27.719
indeed fallible. Would you like to
redo it? No, No, I'm

900
00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:31.639
happy to keep it. This is
part of my thing for twenty twenty four.

901
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:35.559
It's like own your mistakes. Yes, that's the thing that don't try

902
00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:37.000
and high But that's why I love
I want to start doing this show live

903
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:39.000
where people can listen to us doing
the show. Locals like, what's this

904
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:42.920
live? Did you fuck up?
You meant to do it? Yes,

905
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:49.880
but we'd get canceled. That's true. But basically this is where moe plants

906
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:52.239
are seed for the chosen one.
Nice little teas there and he has to

907
00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:53.519
do the leap of faith, the
five story plunge, which turns out to

908
00:55:53.519 --> 00:55:58.440
actually be a five story plange to
do it again. My blindfold came off

909
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:00.920
of what a great gag. Then
crossing the desert, the Unblinking Eye,

910
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:05.360
the wreck of the Hesperus, the
paddling of the swollen ass. I know,

911
00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:07.039
smacking someone in the ass. I
would never hit my kids, right,

912
00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:12.079
but you see people get hitting on
the ass of the paddle. I

913
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:15.440
was never hitter either. It must
fucking be so painful because sometimes you sit

914
00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:16.159
on a bike for too long you
get up in your ashes, like,

915
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:20.639
absolutely, is this caning? But
imagine getting smacked with a paddle on the

916
00:56:20.719 --> 00:56:23.840
ass? No thanks? Did you
ever get smacked? Yes? Absolutely,

917
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:27.800
wow, we did, Like I
can't imagine, not by my folks.

918
00:56:27.840 --> 00:56:30.239
I don't recall I was at school, that's right, Yeah, because you

919
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:32.280
did get strap around the wrist there, never got it on the maybe once

920
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:35.199
on the wrist, like they got
the cane on the fingers. And I'm

921
00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:37.920
like, I can't believe that was
the thing. I can't blame nuts.

922
00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:39.920
That's crazy, right, And you
go to school and get caned, Yeah,

923
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:45.880
that's mental. That is kind of
medieval. Yeah. By the time

924
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:49.480
I was at school, I mean, they still had corporate punishment, but

925
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:52.599
it wasn't quite as extreme as it
used to be. And yeah, certainly

926
00:56:52.679 --> 00:56:58.920
in certain schools they let you know
whose boss. But allowing someone else to

927
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.599
hit your child, this is not
not in a million years while down there,

928
00:57:01.800 --> 00:57:05.559
Oh, I used to go it
in loco parentis you know, where

929
00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:09.519
whereby the teacher had could assume the
role of the parent. And by this

930
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:15.000
sacred parchment, I swear that if
I revealed the secrets to the stonecutters,

931
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:19.679
may my stomach become loaded and my
head be plucked up All but three years.

932
00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:22.480
I think you should have to take
a different oath. Everyone takes the

933
00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:27.679
same oath. Welcome to the club
number nine hundred and eight. You have

934
00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:30.920
joined the sacred order of the stone
Cutters, who, since ancient times have

935
00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:36.719
split the rocks of ignorance that obscure
the light of knowledge and truth. Now

936
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:42.760
let's all get drunk and play ping
pong's. That's that's great Swartz world as

937
00:57:42.760 --> 00:57:44.880
well. It's great writing that,
you know. I mean it sounds like,

938
00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:47.360
oh, well, the stone cutters
actually probably had noble ambitions to begin

939
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:51.239
with, and it just degenerated into
a boy's fraternity. Yeah, were you

940
00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:52.920
part of a frat at school?
Uh? No, not really? I

941
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:58.159
mean, does astray really have frets? The sound? Only you were too

942
00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:00.599
at the private school. I thought
maybe at private school they might No,

943
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:02.519
no, no, no, I
mean certainly, I mean just add clicks

944
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:06.519
of like they had the cool kids. Yeah yeah, but nothing really cool

945
00:58:06.519 --> 00:58:09.760
official. If there was something official, it was so you know, exclusive

946
00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:14.000
that I didn't even hear about it. The plumber then says, it's still

947
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:15.199
going to be a couple of weeks. They do the secret handshake and fixes

948
00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:19.039
it immediately, just one scroup.
Also, they just wearing T shirts.

949
00:58:19.079 --> 00:58:22.559
Yes, that's right. Yeah,
he gets the shortcut to work. Now.

950
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:24.400
I would love the shortcut. How
amazing would that be? It's just

951
00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:29.480
like, I mean, we look
at these you were saying earlier, start

952
00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:31.719
like, we look at these secret
societies and these rich privilege. Its like,

953
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:36.440
but if you were in there,
how amazing would it be? Like

954
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:38.679
if you had the power, you'd
be like, look at these peasants.

955
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:43.760
It's kind of like when you buy
a drop the Q card at like amusement

956
00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:47.360
park. It's like, well,
that's funny. I mean, we're living

957
00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:53.000
in a very inclusive age where you
know, exclusive is kind of like why

958
00:58:53.039 --> 00:58:57.199
don't you want everybody to be part
of your of your wonderful team or whatever,

959
00:58:57.239 --> 00:59:00.840
because it's important to strive to be
better than everybody else. But I

960
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:04.280
mean I remember and you probably do
to I mean, I think it was

961
00:59:04.280 --> 00:59:07.119
an American Express. I had their
Their tagline was like membership has its privileges.

962
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:10.119
It's like, okah, does you
want to hear talking sci fi?

963
00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:15.960
Motherfucker? But it's fine. I
mean, I was. I was watching

964
00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:19.559
some documentary on Netflix. I think
it was about you know, Abercrombie and

965
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:23.639
Fitch, the clothing label that's very
preppy and all that kind of stuff,

966
00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:28.760
and they had all these people going, yeah, they were really selling this

967
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:31.039
whole exclusive thing, and I didn't
feel like part of It's like, do

968
00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:37.519
you not know how marketing works since
day dot? If you've made it like

969
00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:39.639
this is not for everybody, but
it could be for you. You know,

970
00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:44.719
you could be part of this,
of this inner circle provided you buy

971
00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:47.719
this, you know, three hundred
dollars fucking sweatshirt or whatever. This is

972
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:52.039
how is how you get sold shit
everywhere you go to buy something out you

973
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:54.880
part Join the club, Join the
club, Join the club, Join the

974
00:59:54.960 --> 01:00:00.679
JB Perks Club, join this absolutely, or even if it's not even necessarily

975
01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:06.199
join a particular club. I mean, just watching that for pepsi or coke

976
01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:08.599
or whatever. It's like these guys
are all having a great time, you

977
01:00:08.679 --> 01:00:12.880
know, they're eating that delicious looking
pizza and they are all laughing. It's

978
01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:15.119
a beautiful ladies. Just love them. And guess what, you know you

979
01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:16.400
can have that too if your order
a pepsi. Yeah. And you never

980
01:00:16.440 --> 01:00:20.679
see fat people that to take away
fast food like ad So it's just like

981
01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:22.679
hot people pretending to eat this giant
bag and they always eat it weird.

982
01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:25.199
Never they eat burgers and commercials.
They're holding two hands and they bring it

983
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:29.360
like towards them yet and a get
it. And it's like I'm holding this

984
01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:31.320
with like my index thing and my
thumb and these guys couldn't hold it with

985
01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:36.920
two hands. Is there anything?
There is plenty thing more disappointing. But

986
01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:39.079
how disappointing is it when you go
to a fast food place and you order

987
01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:44.079
I don't off the menu and you
get home and it's like this was just

988
01:00:44.119 --> 01:00:46.960
slapped together with no love at all. Oh yeah, looking back in my

989
01:00:47.079 --> 01:00:52.760
McDonald's days, like last year,
last week, I was last week?

990
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:53.639
Actually, no, no, when
was the last time I had it?

991
01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:55.960
It was, well, it was
a few weeks ago. But I was

992
01:00:57.119 --> 01:01:00.320
noticing because I'm the kind of guy
who will open up his called pand with

993
01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:02.440
cheese and like sneak sneaker your fries
and there oh really, oh yeah that

994
01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:07.920
worth it. It's pretty tasty,
okay, but it's like this has the

995
01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:12.519
quarter pound of patty and it has
the cheese, but where's the where's the

996
01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:16.920
sauce. They're gonna a bit,
you know, not too heavy on the

997
01:01:16.960 --> 01:01:21.440
sauce and make us ketchup taste different. It does. It does. So

998
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:27.400
when I was like, it might
be time for us to say goodbye until

999
01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:30.920
they they will getch you back somehow. They will not you know how they

1000
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:35.000
got me back. How they get
points are nearly expiring. If you don't

1001
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.079
come back, your points that you
spent all this money and they're going to

1002
01:01:37.119 --> 01:01:40.840
expire. And I'm like, ah, ship one last cheese worker, It'll

1003
01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:45.000
be yeah, no, I will
not go back. There's where Homer is.

1004
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:46.559
Basically he's got the shortcut to work. You know, you get all

1005
01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:50.559
the exclusive stuff. But still he
has the park in the same parking space.

1006
01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:52.920
He got the roll, but glide
to himself to work to the front

1007
01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:58.159
door. He's got his new chair. Jealous, Well, no, with

1008
01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:04.159
the exact yeah it is. Then
they give me secret membership pack and it's

1009
01:02:04.199 --> 01:02:07.800
got the sticker for getting no tickets. I think it was they get my

1010
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:10.960
tickets. This the paramedics won't steal
your wallet when telling you. And also

1011
01:02:12.039 --> 01:02:14.360
here's the new number. Don't call
nine one anymore. He's the real number

1012
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:16.679
nine one two. How many people
do you think tried to call that?

1013
01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:23.480
After this episode? God Homer is
reading secret world history, so he's now

1014
01:02:23.480 --> 01:02:27.719
becoming conspiracy theories. Basically, he's
just buying into their their fake history.

1015
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:30.639
Lisa doesn't think that the Founding fathers
were stonecutters. Here's what really happened at

1016
01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:36.119
something the Declaration of Independence they're going
to part ofock Twas seventeen ninety nine.

1017
01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:40.440
And also here's how David Crockett really
died. Must be a margin, says

1018
01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:45.079
I love this. The you know
who just cold with the secret wink wink

1019
01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:49.719
at the you know What. It's
like the most unsecret secret club of all

1020
01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:52.079
time. But then we get the
of course the we Do song, which

1021
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:57.119
apparently wasn't in the original script for
Matt Groening requests that it get put in

1022
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.559
there, and it got nominated for
Most Outstanding Original Lyrics or something I did

1023
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:01.920
have in my notes somewhere. It
was not for them, I mean for

1024
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:07.480
most outstanding original music lyrics, and
it lost to Ordinary Miracles from Bubba Streisan,

1025
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:10.320
the concept which I do not know. I could not say, I

1026
01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:15.000
could not sing lyric one of Ordinary
Miracles. If you put a loaded gun

1027
01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:16.599
to my head, Please don't put
a loaded gun to my head. Did

1028
01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:22.000
Steve Guttenberg deserve this? My only
role that I know him of. The

1029
01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:25.440
then role I know him from is
short Circuit. Okay, love Circuit.

1030
01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:30.079
He's a little bit of do do
eighties history. Yeah, yeah, I

1031
01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:37.000
mean Steve good move was sort of
on the rise as a pure likable young

1032
01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:38.199
leading man. He was in a
few good movies and all that kind of

1033
01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:40.920
stuff. Then around eighty four is
in Police Academy, which was a big

1034
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:43.920
hit. Of course. Yes,
yeah, so he's a lead in that,

1035
01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:45.440
and it was like, oh yeah, he's a handsome, affable,

1036
01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:49.960
well built, likable guy, not
threatening in any way. He's very much

1037
01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:52.960
you know, he'd be on the
cover of one of Lisa's teen magazines,

1038
01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:58.239
non threatening stars or whatever. And
then he had a really good run of

1039
01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:02.199
just like choosing or being chosen four
movies that just did really well that weren't

1040
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:06.760
necessarily good. Agent good agent,
I guess, because I mean he was

1041
01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:11.559
in Cocoon, which was a huge
hit, Short Circuit, The Three Men

1042
01:04:11.679 --> 01:04:15.599
and a Baby, and he was
in a few Police Academy movies as well,

1043
01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:17.400
So he was just in the public
eye constantly, and everyone was kind

1044
01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:20.760
of like, I don't really know
any Steve Gutenberg fans, But at the

1045
01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:25.719
same time, I don't know,
he's not hurting anybody. He just seemed

1046
01:04:25.719 --> 01:04:30.159
like a really goofy, likable guy, and that was what you needed in

1047
01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:35.679
eighties, you know, sort of
high concepts comedies and rom coms and you

1048
01:04:35.760 --> 01:04:39.559
know, genre movies. So he
was the perfect candidate for this game then

1049
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:42.639
pretty much who made him a start? I love the way he just sort

1050
01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:45.400
of goes. I mean, and
I think by this time, this is

1051
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:48.840
the year. So they're doing this
in ninety four. Yeah, I mean,

1052
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:53.400
the bloom's coming off the rose a
little bit. He's still doing stuff,

1053
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:56.920
but he's not that young hottie anymore. No, not really. But

1054
01:04:57.039 --> 01:05:00.920
yeah, it's purely understand and I'll
probably fit it's nicely into the rhyme scheme

1055
01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:04.280
as well. Look, as far
as I'm gonna tell, he's still acting.

1056
01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:08.440
Every once in a while he was
on it. I can't see you

1057
01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:14.039
for so long. I get the
feeling he probably is getting nice residuals from

1058
01:05:14.039 --> 01:05:17.119
all the hit movies he was in, hopefully invested his money wise, then

1059
01:05:17.159 --> 01:05:20.760
he still pops up and stuff every
once in a while. There's a great

1060
01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:24.280
show called Party Down. You ever
heard of that. No, it's about

1061
01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:29.639
this crew of like cater waiters,
you know. They they all work at

1062
01:05:29.639 --> 01:05:31.840
sort of various events around LA and
they're all like, would be right as

1063
01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:35.960
actors all this kind of stuff.
And one episode they're doing a catered party

1064
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:43.400
at Steve Gutenberg's house and they get
the all the guests get the day wrong

1065
01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:45.719
and no one shows up. So
the crew just sort of ends up hanging

1066
01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:49.480
out with Steve Gutenberg and like he's
cool, but he's also like, you

1067
01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:51.599
know, I'm Steve Gutenberg, right
and you know, and check out my

1068
01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:54.679
place. And he's got a bit
of an ego and him still thinks he

1069
01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:57.599
can sort of, you know,
attract the hottie and the crew and all

1070
01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:00.119
that kind of stuff. It was
playing it up, yeah, and it

1071
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:02.599
was a really good sort of tongue
in cheek. Yeah. Look, I

1072
01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:05.239
know that people think I'm a little
bit of a gag. But also,

1073
01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:08.800
you know, people did like me
for a very long time and probably for

1074
01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:12.079
a good reason, remember when.
Yeah, pretty much. So, I

1075
01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:14.559
mean, if you go back and
you look at these movies from the eighties

1076
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:18.000
been particularly yeah, Police Academy and
I mean Police Academy has not aged well

1077
01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:21.599
at all. Really, Oh,
it's got a lot of just those really

1078
01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:27.400
sort of dumb I'm not trying to
excuse anything, but casually racist, casually

1079
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:31.840
sexist, dumbly offensive, not necessarily
going for the throat kind of gigs,

1080
01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:34.920
but just like that's a bit sort
of racy or whatever. I mean,

1081
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:41.280
Yeah, I get the Field Simpsons
two thousand and six, but he's you

1082
01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:44.440
know, he's very very charming.
You know, he's incredibly charming in Cocun.

1083
01:06:44.559 --> 01:06:45.880
Just you know, a nice,
likable guy. So yeah, I

1084
01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:51.039
did Tom Haykstakey's spot I Reckon.
So yeah, it's like, oh,

1085
01:06:51.119 --> 01:06:56.119
we've got a guy who can do
this and act. But yeah, but

1086
01:06:56.760 --> 01:06:59.000
you actually put a bit of a
bit of a curve on it, and

1087
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:01.679
yeah, you're right. Act.
I mean it's like I've said this before,

1088
01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:05.320
It's like, why are we putting
up with Lindsay Low And when we've

1089
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:11.679
got Emma Stone who can do all
this and more. Yeah, you respect

1090
01:07:11.719 --> 01:07:15.840
them, Lindsay Lowan, Sorry,
you know, but I mean I remember

1091
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:17.360
when you know, super Bad came
out and then the emmastone sort of broke

1092
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:19.440
out. I'm like, oh okay, yeah, yeah, no, I

1093
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:25.960
was in love with her when that
movie came out, justifiably so. But

1094
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:30.360
they're commemorating their fifteen hundredth anniversary by
having ribs. How many? It's a

1095
01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:32.719
bib. He doesn't embarrass some stuff. Oh, by the way, just

1096
01:07:32.800 --> 01:07:35.519
one other thing about the We Do
song, I mean, yeah, something

1097
01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:39.119
that really works about it. Besides
the fact that it's catchy and you know,

1098
01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:43.400
you can do everyone can sing along
to that, it just points out

1099
01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:45.079
so many things that it was like, why is this the case? I

1100
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:49.239
mean, like we were talking about
Steve Good. Yeah. But also it's

1101
01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:54.880
like America just take on the metric
system. Why did the meme? I

1102
01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:59.559
put up no which ones meme?
Yeah, not metric system. But it's

1103
01:07:59.800 --> 01:08:01.239
the dates. So they did the
dates differently. Oh that's right. Yeah,

1104
01:08:01.400 --> 01:08:09.239
it's like it's it's one two three
one two three. No I think

1105
01:08:09.239 --> 01:08:12.039
it was. No, it doesn't. But this is the thing I was

1106
01:08:12.039 --> 01:08:15.280
getting so many inboxes from people saying
you should have put the tag ont have

1107
01:08:15.360 --> 01:08:17.159
a saying no, it doesn't because
I was otherwise you can't understand it.

1108
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:19.680
And I was like, I have
enough faith in my followers to get the

1109
01:08:19.760 --> 01:08:24.479
gag without dumbing it down for them. Yes, we're we're not the Simpsons.

1110
01:08:27.039 --> 01:08:28.560
Yeah, but I mean, like
I was one day I was in

1111
01:08:28.560 --> 01:08:30.039
America. It's like, I can't
see. I'm to do the maths of

1112
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:32.319
like, okay, so we're going
twenty five miles an hour, that's so's

1113
01:08:32.439 --> 01:08:36.600
okay, it's a hundred degrees outside. What the fuck? I've never leave

1114
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:41.039
the house. I was a kid
the Sandlot and this one point, like

1115
01:08:41.079 --> 01:08:45.239
it's one hundred and fifty degrees outside, I'm like, yeah, how are

1116
01:08:45.239 --> 01:08:47.399
you not dead? Yeah? The
world explode. But yeah, it's just

1117
01:08:47.920 --> 01:08:50.399
it doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah, but stuff like that with America.

1118
01:08:51.039 --> 01:08:54.479
Of course, all due respect and
love to American friends, but I

1119
01:08:54.560 --> 01:08:56.680
mean, yeah, last time was
there was like, okay, so this

1120
01:08:56.840 --> 01:09:00.119
is the price of this snikets.
Yeah, in the supermarket, put a

1121
01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:03.920
tax in the price, tax in
the price. I was infuriated. I

1122
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:06.640
had like a one dollar note or
whatever, it was I was enough to

1123
01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:09.359
buy this chocolate and he was like, it was a dollar six and I

1124
01:09:09.439 --> 01:09:11.800
was like, I don't have a
dollar six. I've got a dollar that's

1125
01:09:12.279 --> 01:09:14.000
it's like ninety cents. He's like, but attack and I was like,

1126
01:09:14.600 --> 01:09:18.600
no, no, no, that's
not it. And particularly if you've got,

1127
01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:21.640
you know, your last few bits
of actual American money, it's like,

1128
01:09:23.039 --> 01:09:24.960
well, I don't want to put
this in the charity been at the

1129
01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:28.680
airport. I want to spend on
this stickers. And then the guy there

1130
01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:30.439
bagging my grosses into a garb into
a paper bag next to the guy that's

1131
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:32.840
putting it through, and I'm expected
to give him money, and I'm like,

1132
01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:39.439
huh, that's your job. That's
your job, mister walters the employers.

1133
01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:45.159
Yeah, but yeah, so he
needs to beer and he grabs the

1134
01:09:45.319 --> 01:09:49.479
sacred parchment and he just keeps going, doesn't he. That's that's great,

1135
01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:55.119
Len, he's just fubber gasses.
Woman. No, you can stop doing

1136
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:59.039
that. Oh Jesus, oh god, yeah, putting in his ear like

1137
01:09:59.159 --> 01:10:01.720
I was fantas Yeah, so he
gets kicked out, even the stone cut

1138
01:10:01.760 --> 01:10:04.680
of underwear. Now you like this
reference, won't you? Indeed? Yes,

1139
01:10:04.720 --> 01:10:08.920
because they burn it in the Ark
of the Covenant. Yes, and

1140
01:10:09.039 --> 01:10:14.359
all the ghosts come I was always
like, from Indiana Jones, by the

1141
01:10:14.359 --> 01:10:16.000
way, for those other way from
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost.

1142
01:10:16.279 --> 01:10:19.520
Yeah, I do love how the
ghost come out. I was always

1143
01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:23.600
thinking, is it because of is
it the arc or is it because Homer's

1144
01:10:23.640 --> 01:10:26.880
underpants it is grist? I think
it's both. Yeah, yeah, but

1145
01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:30.000
they you know, I've learned my
lesson. He keeps banging on it.

1146
01:10:30.119 --> 01:10:45.279
And they touched the stone of shame. Good the mark. Oh, it's

1147
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.560
just a birthmark. And I'll thank
you not to stare. He's stacked chosen

1148
01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:58.439
one. You are the chosen one
whom the Sacred Parchment prophesied would lead us

1149
01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:03.840
to glory. Now from the top
of Mom's springfield for the coronation, Remove

1150
01:11:04.039 --> 01:11:16.720
the stone of Shame, attach the
stone of triumph. This is the thing

1151
01:11:16.760 --> 01:11:19.479
though, I'm watching this going.
So this came out nine to ninety five,

1152
01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:21.640
and the movie Up came out,
and I want to say, like

1153
01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:25.439
two thousand and nine, two thousand
and eight, right, and in that

1154
01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:30.600
movie they put the cone of Shame
on the dog. I'm like, rhymes

1155
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:35.960
of stone of shame cone of shame. So I wonder if that was just

1156
01:11:36.119 --> 01:11:41.199
their little way of er they shout
out a tribute, tribute or just or

1157
01:11:41.319 --> 01:11:44.840
just the theft, got the straight
up theft. But we always say to

1158
01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:46.880
Jet when he used to be naughty, he used to have the cone,

1159
01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:50.239
said when he was like, have
an operation so it doesn't nibble the wound

1160
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:53.279
or whatever, And like, Jet, you want the kind of shame.

1161
01:11:53.359 --> 01:11:56.560
He's like, I don't. I
don't want the shame. I would be

1162
01:11:56.600 --> 01:11:59.680
good. But Homer's now enjoying being
the chosen one. This is apparently another

1163
01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:04.600
reference. It is indeed, this
is where he runs out and or justeah

1164
01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:06.920
before the crowd of all these people. Yeah, that's a bit from a

1165
01:12:08.039 --> 01:12:10.520
movie called The Last Emperor, came
out in nineteen eighty seven. I think

1166
01:12:10.560 --> 01:12:15.439
it one best picture. And yeah, I mean that image of the little

1167
01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:19.079
boy because it's the story of the
last Emperor of China before China became all

1168
01:12:19.439 --> 01:12:27.079
communist, and yeah, this little
boy was, yeah, basically put into

1169
01:12:27.079 --> 01:12:30.560
this huge position of power as a
literal child, and he sort of runs

1170
01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:32.119
out in front of all these people
who were basically bowing to him, and

1171
01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:34.800
he's sort of playing back to the
crowd. I don't know if I was

1172
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:39.680
just at the right age or if
it really was shown a lot in like,

1173
01:12:40.119 --> 01:12:43.520
you know, as examples of Hollywood
culture around in the late eighties or

1174
01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:45.159
whatever. But yeah, it's always
on TV. Wizard of Oz was always

1175
01:12:45.159 --> 01:12:47.720
on TV. It's an image that's
really vivid in my mind, and it

1176
01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:53.640
sort of exemplifies the late eighties to
me. Just yeah, little boy read

1177
01:12:54.279 --> 01:12:57.880
big red curtains running into this crowd. Yeah, from the Last Emperor.

1178
01:12:57.960 --> 01:13:00.359
I love here that when I was
like, meant to note, never do

1179
01:13:00.439 --> 01:13:03.920
this. It would be amazing to
had this kind of power. Though Oh

1180
01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:08.199
goodness, yea, it makes people
bow down all the time. But so

1181
01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:11.079
he's enjoying beak, being that the
chosen on getting paid on the couch,

1182
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:15.279
like he said, Oh god,
and we get your favorite moment. Well,

1183
01:13:15.319 --> 01:13:18.199
we know Lisa's trying to word him
up. She's clearly pretty clever about

1184
01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:25.199
you know, the perils of power. Tries to throw a little Shakespeare's way,

1185
01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:29.479
but no. Homo suggests get a
bunch of monkeys ressed up and renat

1186
01:13:29.479 --> 01:13:32.640
the Civil War, which we get
at the end. Almost Then he suggests

1187
01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:35.720
that he should use his resources to
help others, and then he and it's

1188
01:13:35.720 --> 01:13:38.319
a home. It does here he
goes, and we should do this.

1189
01:13:38.600 --> 01:13:45.720
He's got mad with power like that, which guy Schweitzer? That's yeah,

1190
01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:48.000
I mean, oh another reference with
kids. You're like what, Yeah.

1191
01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:51.319
And the more the more they learn
about Albert Schweitz was like, yeah,

1192
01:13:51.359 --> 01:13:54.279
this guy may have seemed like he
was doing some good things, he was

1193
01:13:54.319 --> 01:14:00.319
also terribly terribly racist. Then the
Stonecutter's Daycare Center license pending grand opening,

1194
01:14:02.119 --> 01:14:04.880
Moe get stuck on the slide,
get the jaws of life burns. He's

1195
01:14:04.920 --> 01:14:08.479
having a little feed with the kid
on the swing. You feel the little

1196
01:14:08.600 --> 01:14:12.680
urchin. And they paint the building
a beautiful sky blue. And the graffiti

1197
01:14:12.920 --> 01:14:15.279
was just all different version of the
word graffiti. I did say graffiti by

1198
01:14:15.319 --> 01:14:18.600
graffiti and I saw an albato on
there? Or was there only of usat

1199
01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:24.399
the word graffiti, different different fonts. Yeah. The helicopter crashes home and

1200
01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:28.640
then says he's now spiritually fulfilled.
It's beginning of a better world for all

1201
01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:31.279
of us. Cuts the moat.
We gotta kill him. And then they

1202
01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:35.359
go to the stone Cutter World Council
before they act irrationally, and they always

1203
01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:40.680
say killing. What does George would
suggest that take his voice? Bucks,

1204
01:14:42.640 --> 01:14:44.960
But as long as their stone cutters, he's going to control our lives.

1205
01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:47.680
And then cut to wait a minute, Baskin Robbins is now an abandoned store

1206
01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:54.760
and it's the ancient mystic society of
no Hommers. What a callback. You

1207
01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:59.640
can't just keep hanging out with these
globus monkeys. Somebody's going to get Paris

1208
01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:06.520
nights. Oh, merge, kids, I missed my club. You know

1209
01:15:08.199 --> 01:15:12.680
you are a member of a very
exclusive club, the Black Panthers. No,

1210
01:15:13.800 --> 01:15:18.000
the Family Simpson, which has just
five members, and only two of

1211
01:15:18.119 --> 01:15:28.720
those members have special rings. Yeah, I meant our wedding rings, you

1212
01:15:28.840 --> 01:15:33.000
know, Marge, You're right.
The Simpson family is the best possible club

1213
01:15:33.119 --> 01:15:45.640
I could belong to. This club
better be worth it, all right,

1214
01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:48.640
all right, it's Leasa's term.
Just a great heart felt ending, it

1215
01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:53.880
isn't it, which felt somewhat rushed, But then and then it also wasn't

1216
01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:58.039
He went from Homber being in charge
to having nothing within aspects of like naughety

1217
01:15:58.079 --> 01:16:00.680
seconds. That's for the third acted
felt like it had regular first act,

1218
01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:06.520
long second act, condensed third act. Yeah, but got everything we needed

1219
01:16:06.560 --> 01:16:11.359
to, yeah, to get gave
us everything we wanted, and you go

1220
01:16:11.439 --> 01:16:14.960
to the very end, you get
the gracing, and you do here Carl

1221
01:16:15.079 --> 01:16:17.199
saying shut up, Oh really,
you do stick around for the gracing.

1222
01:16:17.199 --> 01:16:20.159
You never picked up on that one. A nice little hidden gill. Easter

1223
01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:24.479
eggs, love the Easter eggs.
Now. I would love to know what

1224
01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:27.920
actual Freemasons think of this episode.
Good point, he didn't have one of

1225
01:16:27.960 --> 01:16:30.399
our patrons. He did say he
was a free Mason. And I've just

1226
01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:32.680
seen the message here saying that he
would have volunteer to come into the show

1227
01:16:32.880 --> 01:16:35.520
to talk about my goodness. But
maybe in a future episode. But I

1228
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:39.720
would love to hear you, guys
right in Simpson's mailbag at gmail dot com.

1229
01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:42.399
If you're part of a secret society
of some kind, let us know

1230
01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:45.479
what's it like to have the power. If you could be part of any

1231
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:47.239
secret society, what you what power
you would you want to have? Oh?

1232
01:16:47.399 --> 01:16:51.359
Man, I would. I would
love the power of free shopping,

1233
01:16:51.960 --> 01:16:55.960
like like food shopping. I'd love
to be able to go to the supermarket

1234
01:16:56.079 --> 01:16:59.479
enough to worry about spending four hundred
dollars. Well that's true, man,

1235
01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:01.680
Given them you've got hungry, hungry
children and all that kind of and they're

1236
01:17:01.680 --> 01:17:06.000
getting bigger and bigger, bigger onli
ate four fucking bowls of neutrograph for breakfast

1237
01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:10.239
yesterday, four balls. He's going
to be a little monster. Holy shit.

1238
01:17:10.399 --> 01:17:14.359
Yeah, I mean, I'm saying
that with with Lou's youngest son who

1239
01:17:14.479 --> 01:17:18.600
was hitting the teenageers and just growing
hair and devouring were animals. That's what

1240
01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:20.600
we are. That's pretty much it. But you know, he'd had dinner

1241
01:17:20.640 --> 01:17:24.000
the other night that he came over
and he was sort of picking bits of

1242
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:27.039
our dinner, and then he got
like sitting on the couch and watching that

1243
01:17:27.079 --> 01:17:30.479
god awful Netflix movie Rebel Moon.
Oh yeah, no good, no good.

1244
01:17:30.600 --> 01:17:31.840
I saw someone say it's Star Wars, but it's just a bad Star

1245
01:17:31.880 --> 01:17:38.239
Wars. It's a bad Star Wars. Uh. He's already eating a bunch,

1246
01:17:38.279 --> 01:17:41.960
but he's like got to the gon
to the cupboard and got three things

1247
01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:45.000
of burger rings and twisties or whatever. Last time I had three of these,

1248
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:46.159
I was sick in the morning.
I said, why are you doing

1249
01:17:46.199 --> 01:17:53.239
it? But he devoured him and
he was fine. I had burger rings

1250
01:17:53.239 --> 01:17:56.279
for the first time in like ten
years. Last week because a friend of

1251
01:17:56.319 --> 01:18:00.479
mine came from America who actually brought
me this record here. It is,

1252
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:03.720
oh my Starship Troopers all the way
from America. It is the Blood and

1253
01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:08.239
Bug Juice Marble Vinyl. Wow,
I know right, Oh my god,

1254
01:18:08.279 --> 01:18:11.560
how fucking cool is that? God? Damn? Yeah, So shout out

1255
01:18:11.560 --> 01:18:15.119
to Matt Blom Mat. But as
at present to him, we got him

1256
01:18:15.119 --> 01:18:16.640
a magnet of the four of us
because he's part of my groom's party and

1257
01:18:17.199 --> 01:18:19.479
all of us who are part of
my grooms party with they're hanging out that

1258
01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:21.760
day when he came to visit us
again, a little magnet to put in

1259
01:18:21.800 --> 01:18:26.000
his fridgets back in America. We
also made him an Australian care package.

1260
01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:29.680
So I had burger rings, twisties, Tim TAM's all that kind of shit

1261
01:18:29.720 --> 01:18:32.239
in there. And yeah, obviously
I brought two backs of burger rings,

1262
01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:34.279
one for me, one for the
kids, and the kids loved them.

1263
01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:38.279
I remember burger rings. I was
a kid. They'd give me ulcers in

1264
01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:41.600
the mouth. I think I might
have had something similar, which is why

1265
01:18:41.640 --> 01:18:43.279
I was never all that big on
them. Yeah, used to eat it

1266
01:18:43.399 --> 01:18:45.199
was like cheesels. I loved burger
rings there. Yeah, I ate it.

1267
01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:48.600
I was like, listen of the
kids loved the burger rings. Yeah,

1268
01:18:48.960 --> 01:18:53.439
no ulcers for them, which's good. The next generation, the next

1269
01:18:53.439 --> 01:18:55.600
generation. But anyway, all right, guys, this has been our review

1270
01:18:55.680 --> 01:18:57.840
of Home with a Great As we
said each and every month, now the

1271
01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:00.159
first podcast of the month, you
can expect a classic review, no particular

1272
01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:02.760
order, but it's gonna maybe will
suggest to the patrons that can vote one

1273
01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:05.800
and more. That's well. If
you're a supporter of ours on Patreon,

1274
01:19:05.880 --> 01:19:10.399
you can join in the poll and
also vote on which movie we review each

1275
01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:13.840
month for the Movie Guys podcast along
with Mitch. This month is going to

1276
01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:17.760
be a water themed one. I'm
thinking it's going to be Jaws. Looks

1277
01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:19.600
like it's going to be the one. It's all right by me. Yes,

1278
01:19:19.720 --> 01:19:23.000
Jaws is probably one. It is
one of the greatest movies of all

1279
01:19:23.039 --> 01:19:24.800
time. Right, do you think
it's top ten greatest of all time?

1280
01:19:25.239 --> 01:19:27.760
I would certainly put it in the
top twenty five, twenty five. What

1281
01:19:27.800 --> 01:19:30.560
do you think? What is your
top three? Top of your head?

1282
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:35.279
This always changes its Star Wars up
there. Yeah, absolutely, it's certainly

1283
01:19:35.359 --> 01:19:42.239
my top ten. Years ago,
I was commissioned by the Geelong Advertiser.

1284
01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:45.039
The paper down here is when they
still had money. They still were based

1285
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:49.960
on seal. Yeah, that's great
to write like a top one hundred movies,

1286
01:19:50.279 --> 01:19:55.079
like insert thing and how long does
that take to put together? It

1287
01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:57.000
took me a few weeks. Yeah. I sort of broke it down to

1288
01:19:57.079 --> 01:20:00.239
categories and all that kind of thing
and had my top top ten. What

1289
01:20:00.359 --> 01:20:02.640
do I put in there? And
Star Wars was definitely, and Their Raiders

1290
01:20:02.760 --> 01:20:05.800
was in there. I can't remember
if I put Godfather one and two and

1291
01:20:05.880 --> 01:20:12.199
I'll count them as like one movie. Maybe what is your usual number one?

1292
01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:16.960
Though you must my very well,
it varies. I mean my number

1293
01:20:16.960 --> 01:20:20.640
one for that one was actually it's
called seven Samurai, so Japanese movie from

1294
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:26.199
the fifties, which is actually what
rebelmon ripples. What a wanker? You

1295
01:20:26.399 --> 01:20:30.760
say that? And then you watch
seven Samurai, which is like a template

1296
01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:33.680
for modern action movies. The Magnificent
Seven is a remake of it. There's

1297
01:20:33.720 --> 01:20:38.239
been a Bugs Life as a remake
of it. There's so many and so

1298
01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:41.640
many other movies. I've sort of
used it as oh, okay, yeah,

1299
01:20:41.680 --> 01:20:44.399
this is how you do it,
this is how you you know,

1300
01:20:44.520 --> 01:20:46.079
you bring together a cool group of
characters. You give them a common cause.

1301
01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:48.640
Some of them are really into it, some of them less. So

1302
01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:54.319
they've all got opportunities for redemption they'veken
or heroism or whatever. It's fantastic.

1303
01:20:54.399 --> 01:20:56.560
And I know it sounds wanky to
say, oh, it's a Japanese movie

1304
01:20:56.600 --> 01:20:59.640
from the fifties, but you know
it is fucking boss. Okay, it's

1305
01:20:59.720 --> 01:21:02.840
really good. Look maybe among Generation
X types like myself, where the kind

1306
01:21:02.880 --> 01:21:06.079
of people who go this is actually
really good. But look, Star Wars

1307
01:21:06.159 --> 01:21:11.399
certainly in there. If if we're
doing my top three, I'm assuming white

1308
01:21:11.399 --> 01:21:14.800
men can't jump. Oh absolutely,
that's somewhere in the top good movie.

1309
01:21:15.119 --> 01:21:17.800
I'm gonna say Raiders, Star Wars, and Godfather one and two on and

1310
01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:20.840
two. Okay, yeah, I
did pick up Godfather's on Blu Ray as

1311
01:21:20.880 --> 01:21:25.319
well. You should never seen them? Haven't you never seen them? Take

1312
01:21:25.439 --> 01:21:27.159
take a little time. I looked
at the other three and I was like,

1313
01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:30.800
guys, said, don't bother didn't
Father? If you like the first

1314
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:35.560
two, I'll lend you three.
Okay, yeah, because three is not

1315
01:21:35.720 --> 01:21:39.960
bad, but it just suffers by
virtue of not being as good as one

1316
01:21:40.039 --> 01:21:41.600
and two. I really bought up
on Home and I was like, wait

1317
01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:43.479
a minute, guys, said he
had this. I'm just gonna borrow guys.

1318
01:21:43.560 --> 01:21:46.239
You can, by the way,
Deficts to remind me your peewee David's
