We'll be back next week for another episode of season nineteen, 24 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:06.120 but for now and Dwano, hope you enjoyed my chat here discussing Radioactive 25 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:15.960 Man with the legendary Kysla Chris. But how was New York? I saw 26 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.800 that you did a movie tour and you did all the touristy stuff. What 27 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.719 did you get up to besides meaning Zach of course. Yeah, so I 28 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.520 did the press junket for everyone in part two and like that film was getting 29 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.520 thrashed unfortunately, But I'm a big fan of his work, especially with like 30 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.120 Batman and all that stuff, so it was great, but it went too 31 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.159 quick, man. I was there for four nights and then had to fly 32 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.240 back, so the jet lag was bad. It was really bad, and 33 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.879 I was trying to sleep on the plane coming home, and it's cool, 34 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.159 like it's not a pay gig, but they cover flight. Accommodation was business 35 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.520 class with Cathay Pacific, which is great. And coming home, I'm like, 36 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.719 all right, got the flatbed, I'm going to sleep and I'll be 37 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.479 fine. I'll listen to some four fingered discount. I'm trying to listen to 38 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.280 you guys. And we had the worst turbulence and I'm like, this is 39 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.879 awful. So I'm like, screw it. I'm just gonna stay up and 40 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.039 just listen to you guys. So these guys usually put me to sleep. 41 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.479 Why is it not working this time? Ah? Man? You were? 42 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.840 You were also you had an episode with the guy that had the big collection. 43 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.120 You had a few animation cells and Michael, I remember I was drifting 44 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.560 in and out of that one because it was just like, you guys just 45 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.000 talk shop and shit, it's great. Well that's what I try to do 46 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.879 with Guess and going. I just we recorded an episode yesterday. We just 47 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.759 started season nineteen, and we sort of discussed about interviewing and I feel like 48 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.800 when you're interviewing, because you interview as well. You don't interview, you 49 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.719 just chat. I think that's the best way to do it. Yeah, 50 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.120 because and I said, I love that moment where you realize with like a 51 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.520 big name guest or whatever, where you realize, oh shit, you've asked 52 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.919 me a question. You can tell they've never been asked before. Yeah. 53 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.319 Yeah. When you stump them, they're like, oh good one, You're 54 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.840 like, yeah, fuck, because sometimes they use our good question as a 55 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:53.919 way to sort of de stall time. But you can tell when they say 56 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.639 good question, when they actually meant that's a good question. Yeah, yeah, 57 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.039 yeah exactly, and they give you little pat on the back. What 58 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.960 landmarks did you see? Have you been to New York before this trip? 59 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.919 That was my fourth time. Yeah, So my dad used to work for 60 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.719 Corners and I used to work for Corners too before I well, during when 61 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.639 I started doing all this. So I went there when I was a kid, 62 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.759 then went there in my twenties two more times. But yeah, like 63 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:24.959 did the home alone hotel like for av log on my second channel. Then 64 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.959 we did like Central Park and just Time Square all the touristy stuff, and 65 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.720 again, like we had so much stuff to do activities wise. With Netflix, 66 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.600 it was on behalf of Netflix Australia, so you like we had like 67 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.600 one day to like do all touristy stuff and have time to ourself. Apart 68 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.079 from that, we were just on the on the go the whole time. 69 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.079 Man. So like we had the press junk at the screening like the premiere 70 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.279 and then before you know, it was time to fly home. So they 71 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.399 contact you say we're going to pay for your flight's accommodation, all that good 72 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.680 stuff. But you've got to do what they tell you to do when you 73 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.000 get that kind of thing a sort of so like last year I did Rebel 74 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.000 Moon Part one and that was in Japan, so it's the exact same thing, 75 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:02.639 like, hey, we want you to come back for part two. 76 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.800 We're going to do it in New York this time. Like they do have 77 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:11.800 a schedule, but because they're not paying you, they don't expect a certain 78 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.120 thing socials wise, like in terms of posting, and we want, you 79 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.160 know, three stories and one main newsfeed post if that makes sense. If 80 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.759 they are paying you, then they'll probably give you a list of what they 81 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:30.120 want, hashtags all that stuff, like deliverables and like I review. I've 82 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:31.839 got my main channel causplay Chris, and then I've got just Chris Stanley, 83 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.600 which is just movie reviews and all that. And I always try to be 84 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.639 honest, even though because tomorrow night my fiance and I have the premiere of 85 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.879 Furiosa here in Sydney, so like Hamsworth, George Miller and all that are 86 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.399 going to be there. But you know, I still will give an honest 87 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.959 opinion even though you get an invite, I still think you need that healthy 88 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.879 balance, if that makes sense. Is there a fear though, of giving 89 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.160 a bad review that you might not get invited back? Or have you found 90 00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.480 it that doesn't really matter? If anything, that's not my problem. It's 91 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.360 like you guys have to understand it's subjective. I can still have an opinion. 92 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.680 Just because you've gifted me something doesn't mean I have to abide by the 93 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.680 rules. And when I do my reviews, if something's negative, I'm not 94 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.920 bashing it. I just try and be like this didn't work for me, 95 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.000 and I'm not like this is shit, the person shit, this is awful. 96 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.040 It's just like, hey, this didn't work for me. So you 97 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.600 know, I always try and have a fair kind of balanced opinion. But 98 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.959 at the same time, there's no such thing as a perfect movie man. 99 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.399 So yeah, I used to be a lot more scared of doing that, 100 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.360 but now I find your audience respects you a lot more. If you're like, 101 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.800 hey, I did get invited, but this still isn't a perfect movie, 102 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.720 but you'd be polite about it. You're like, these were just my 103 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.079 negatives. These are my gripes, but overall, you know, it's still 104 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.800 pretty damn good. So I think that needs to be addressed a lot more 105 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:54.160 these days instead of just pandering because you got an invite. Like the buzzword 106 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.120 these days is shill. Everyone thinks you're a chill. Well, they're your 107 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.120 thoughts. What you just described heed to describe those films, was that your 108 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.680 thoughts walking out of the Simpsons movie, because I think that's how most Simpsons 109 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.560 fans felt. It's like there were negatives. I mean, it was good, 110 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.680 but there's a lot of things I would have probably wish were a bit 111 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.519 better. Yeah, it was kind of It was like when when it finished, 112 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.439 because it was a big deal. We were in year we just graduate, 113 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.279 so it was two thousand and seven when it came out. Yeah, 114 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.800 yeah, so I graduate. I finished you twelve or two thousand and six. 115 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.879 I think we were about the same age. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 116 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.160 I graduated two thousand and six, and I remember when the credits rolled, 117 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.279 it was like that episode Itching Scratchy and Poochie's Home is like, well, 118 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:36.040 what did everyone think? It was? Like, it was actually pretty 119 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.680 good for how the series was starting to sort of decline and kind of go 120 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.319 downhill in terms of like not not to say it was like getting bad, 121 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.079 but it just wasn't what it was in the golden era. And I remember 122 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.240 back remember the Cheese TV days. Of course it I'm the guy that helped 123 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.319 relaunch the Chefs TV social medias with Jayden Ryan Oh christ will be all right, 124 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.519 yeah, yes, so it's safe to say you Cheese TV. Yeah. 125 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.160 I remember like the Boys announced it on Chief TV that a movie was 126 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.360 being made, and then Disney Adventures would been like, yeah, movie's happening. 127 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.639 I'm like, guys, it feels like it's been like ten years everyone's 128 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.519 been saying a movie's happening. Then it finally came out. I'm like, 129 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.360 I think that's the best Simpsons movie we could get in the in the age 130 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.519 we are in now, like two thousand and seven. I think that's the 131 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:26.319 best we can get, and I actually really liked it. Look, it 132 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.279 could have been so much more worse, but I'm glad they brought back the 133 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.759 older riders for it, and I think that's why it was pretty decent. 134 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.440 I think if they remade, if they've made a second one, I think 135 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.200 now they would pander more to the hardcore fans of like the Golden Era, 136 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.440 more so because I think they've now finally acknowledged and accepted. Okay, I 137 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.960 mean the first ten years we're the best, and I think though in that 138 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.360 weird period of going we're still good. We're still good and trying to sort 139 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.639 of just be there who they were at that point. Now, I feel 140 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.960 like a new movie would be more pandering to what we grew up on and 141 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.120 they My big thing was I wish I had a back Hank Scorpio as the 142 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.559 villain because he had the same voice actor. Yeah, I say it's the 143 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:11.879 same voice actor the guy that voices Marlon is it Marlin Broding Nemo Brooks? 144 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.399 Yeah? Yeah, Like can you imagine if they brought back Conan to co 145 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.960 write it, and is John Schwartzwelder is still alive. He's still alive. 146 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.600 Yeah, I don't think he waits for the show anymore though. No, 147 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.000 he's like I picture him being like mister Burns when he's got the casino and 148 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.120 he's got the beard and he's on the type rider with the long fingernails. 149 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.600 Do you know that he bought a booth from the diner that he used to 150 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.320 go to the right Simpsons and put it in his house so that he can 151 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.360 feel like he was in his little zone. That's so cool. I remember 152 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.120 that. My me and my two best mates talk about that all the time. 153 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.919 And one of my mates, Luke, who I'm getting married next week 154 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.200 and he's on our groomsman and thanks Man. Yeah, Luke told me about 155 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.919 that. He's like, yeah, he used to go on that diner every 156 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.440 day chain smoke. And then I think that were they getting rid of the 157 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.320 booth or they were refurbishing the din. I'm not sure, but all I 158 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.039 know is that he took it to his house and I thought, that's so 159 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.240 fucking awesome. It's so good. I love that. Do you have anything 160 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.440 from your childhood for me? Though? And I never got my hands and 161 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.440 I'm still so sad and bitter about it to this day. But there was 162 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.159 a time where we have time zone. It's now called laser Quest or something 163 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.519 here in Jalyn, but we had time zone right the arcade and they had 164 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.240 the Simpson's Arcade machine there, and it was always the same machine there forever, 165 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.000 forever, and then just sort of disappeared one day and I was like, 166 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.000 oh, man, I used to spend so many hours of my childhood 167 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.120 playing his machine. And then I went to a mate store who was had 168 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.600 like a pop culture T shirt store, and I went there and he had 169 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.120 the machine. He bought it from Times and they didn't want it anymore, 170 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.559 and I said how much do you want for it? He goes eight hundred. 171 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.240 I said, all right, cool, let me just go talk to 172 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.240 my wife about it. And see, I wanted to own kind of like 173 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.279 George and Sidefad the Froggy Machine. I wanted to own the original Arcade that 174 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.440 I actually used to play, right, And I went back there two days 175 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.279 later he sold it to somebody else. He goes, oh, well, 176 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.679 I didn't know if you're going to come back all night, and I just 177 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.799 sold it. I was like, man, I spent the whole weekend begging 178 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.799 to my wife. She finally agreed to it. Now it's not there, 179 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.279 Oh damn. I just love to I would love to own the actual Simpsons 180 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.039 Arkae machine that I played when I was a kid, you know. Yeah, 181 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:15.840 yeah. We had Tilt at our local Westfield and they had an abundance 182 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.919 of Simpson games. They had like pinball machine, so I had some other 183 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.200 specialty ones and I always remember like the movie themed pinball machine or like arcade 184 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.960 games. I remember the Simpsons the Adams Family pinball machine like from the movie 185 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.399 Ye Star Trek was a big one fish tails Yeah yeah, yep, yep. 186 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:39.080 But like I've I've got my Simpsons Issue one comic from when I was 187 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.559 a kid, and yes it does smell like my grandpa and it comes with 188 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.320 like the poster and everything. And then these two I repurchased off eBay. 189 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.559 So this is issue forty eight and then issue fifty. And the reason why 190 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.399 I rebrought these two is because, like it's nostalgia. But I remember my 191 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.639 dad and I went on a road trip from Sydney up to the Gold Coast 192 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.600 and I had these two issues and they kept me company the whole ride through 193 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.320 and they were like the illustrations always great there's always something going on in each 194 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.919 frame, and they got lost just throughout the years. And yeah, I 195 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.679 found them on Eban. I just wanted to again, just that nostalgia and 196 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.879 just was like that was a fun road trip with my dad and I and 197 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.720 I read them now and I'm like, man, these still hold up. 198 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.960 They're pretty good. Yeah. I feel the comics are so underappreciated because they 199 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.840 just sort of pull the pin on them m. Yeah. Yeah, actually, 200 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.559 especially the Halloween ones as well. You've read some of them now, 201 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.799 an you think these are just they're just as good as the episodes. Yeah, 202 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.039 I'm like, why did you make this a comic and not an episode? 203 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.320 Yeah? There must have been a different staff or something. I'm thinking, 204 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:45.399 how can these guys write good stories but the actual shows declining? Jesus, 205 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:46.919 these are really good. I've got my whole collection down here. I'll 206 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.159 try to show you. I'm not sure if you can see it. That's 207 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.720 all my comics down there. They're are my records up. But I collect 208 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.360 vinyl soundtracks. That's my thing. We all have a thing, right, 209 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.360 hang on, you'll get a kick out it. Collect vinyl soundtracks too, 210 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:13.799 But for like a night re olm Street, Robert England who signed to Chrism. 211 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.159 He goes to Chris from DJ Freddy. That's so cool, I am, 212 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.240 I've got that. But I've got like the re releases from Mondo. 213 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.440 Yeah, I because the original one that's not from eighty four, that was 214 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.320 a German release and I think eighty nine or ninety. But the OG one 215 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.080 is like super hard to find. Before we were talking about the guest you 216 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.720 had on who has the collection. He has the animation cells. And this 217 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.519 is one thing I regret selling years and years ago. I bought an animation 218 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:48.519 cell from the Lemon Tree episode and it's the very first frame when Bart's on 219 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.519 the skateboard just cruising down the street before he finds the wet cement and it's 220 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.679 it was, yeah, the first couple of frames in and it was signed 221 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.840 by Nancy Cartright and like this is when I was still living at home and 222 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.000 I was like strap for cash and I'm like I had it framed in UV 223 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.840 glass and everything, and some bloke from the Blue Mountains came down and bought 224 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.919 it who was a collector, and he was really sweet, he was really 225 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.159 nice and excited about it. I'm like, man, I should have held 226 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:22.440 onto that because it's those pivotal moments that make these cells more expensive, and 227 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.720 obviously the more characters in it, like you've got the whole Simpsons family and 228 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:30.240 one cell, like that's that's worth a motza. But because the Lemon Tree 229 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:35.559 episode is so iconic, Yeah, I just that was the one that got 230 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.919 away for me. Imagine owning this the cell of the lemon Face. That 231 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:46.600 would be iconic. Yeah, that or shoe Colder boy. I think it 232 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.840 all shake harder boy. Yes, I think the lemon Face would just be 233 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.960 the best. Wh Who would have thought, you know, they made that 234 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.240 episode like ninety five or something that twenty years later the lemon Face would become 235 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.080 one of the most mean things of all time. You know, I still 236 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.440 think one of the and like we're obviously touching on the episode, and I 237 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.600 think it's one of the best memes every And I don't know if you saw 238 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.679 it, so you know that have you been up all night eating cheese? 239 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.879 Scene? Marge comes out and it's the goggles with rain years eyes in him, 240 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:18.320 and she goes, have you been up all night doing nothing? And 241 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:24.519 it's just the goggles staring at her. That's all that to me. We 242 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.559 usually cover that favorite moments that to me is one of the most iconics Simpsons 243 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.440 moments in general, just the real ascid. But I just thought the ah 244 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:41.840 oh ah yet all this left of his undies, that just makes total sense 245 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.120 exactly. Yeah, what would be your earliest memories of The Simpsons do you 246 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.679 think? I? Dude, I honestly remember year two when I was in 247 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:56.120 Grade two and coming home and like you know, like back in the day 248 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.559 primary school, you're in your school uniform right until you have a shower before 249 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.120 bed, Like you just come home, you're still in your uniform. I 250 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:07.120 remember sitting like this close to the TV, eating dinner and watching The Simpsons. 251 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.559 I was one of those kids that could watch The Simpsons and South Park 252 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:14.399 when I was in primary school, so I'd like watch the episodes, especially 253 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.759 South Park, come to school the next day and like fill the kids in 254 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.159 on what happened, like the ones who couldn't watch it. So that was 255 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.759 definitely my earliest memory. And I told my fiancee I was gonna tell this, 256 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.720 so I'd come out with some crazy facts and my dad would be like, 257 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.080 where did you learn that? I'm like the Simpsons, And Dad's like 258 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:40.480 huh. So my fiance and I met on Tinder and like, we just 259 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:42.879 talked for a bit, but then we stayed in touch on Instagram. And 260 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.840 she'll contest this. In my bio had said I got most of my education 261 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:49.600 from the Simpsons. That was my Tinder bio. So many of us who 262 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.000 grew up in the nineties, it was like we learned so many pop culture 263 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.120 references and actual facts and celebrities. Well, for example, Mickey Rooney. 264 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.600 I had no idea who Micky Rooney was, but I learned who he was 265 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.079 from the Sims. Neither exactly. I'm like, who's this old guy that's 266 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:10.680 staying Jimminy Jillicus. But did you find what's the thing that you feel like 267 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.960 you learnt from the Simpsons that still you used to this day? For me, 268 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:18.799 I remember going to school and it's the episode Trios of Horror six, 269 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:22.559 the three D one three D Homer and Frank draws the three D cube on 270 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.319 the chop board with the two squares and he draws a little Homer in the 271 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.200 middle. I went to school the next day and Drew's cube and the kids 272 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.200 were just flabbergas and they could not believe how did you draw this three D 273 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:33.319 thing. I was like, well, it's a little secret. It was 274 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.039 the Simpsons, well one of the kids like whoa, well, slow down, 275 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.000 egghead. And because of that that memory, I've always wanted to get 276 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.240 that little scribble tattooed on me. So the plan is I'm going to go 277 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.680 to America at some point in a couple of years. And I spoke to, 278 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.240 oh shit, who's the David Silverman, the animator, David Silvman is 279 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.079 gonna draw it on me, and then I'm gonna get a tattooed. Oh 280 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:02.880 that is bad. That's yeah. I In terms of like what I learned, 281 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:07.920 it was mostly like American history, like stuff that we wouldn't know here 282 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.720 in Australia, but like it just translates to something different in America. But 283 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.880 also you know, like you know American wars, presidents, stuff like that. 284 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.960 And again just drop these like facts to my dad, like useless pub 285 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.720 trivia, and Dad's like, wait, they wouldn't have taught you that in 286 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.359 primary school. IM like no, no, no, no, watched it 287 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.559 last night at the Samsons And Dad's just like, so wait, we're spending 288 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.160 all this money on school for you and you're learning more from a crude TV 289 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.160 show and I'm like, yeah, I was like, shit, okay, 290 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.559 but yeah, just obscure things like that. And also, like you said, 291 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:47.799 like celebrities and stuff like that. Yeah, just the most random things 292 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.279 ever, and those are embedded in my brain more so than what I learned 293 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.279 in school. Like I don't want to know about Pythagoras. I want to 294 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.559 know more about Mickey Rooney exactly. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like The 295 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.400 Simpsons introduced me to horror with the trios of horror episodes. Do you feel 296 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:10.599 the same, Yeah, I yeah, I feel like because like I got 297 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.200 into Freddy through like Freddy Krueger, Like through my mom. Mum would always 298 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:15.759 tell me about Freddie. Then I go to the VHS store where my parents 299 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.000 would go grocery shopping, and I'm like, I don't want to and They're 300 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.359 like, well, go look in the video store and we'll come get you. 301 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.519 That's what we all did. It was the fucking hangout. It was 302 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.640 the best time of the week, getting a hangout in the video store. 303 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.880 Yeah. Man, And like I've said this before another podcast. I don't 304 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.920 know about you, but Australian VHS horror covers from like the eighties were hardcore. 305 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.799 They didn't hold back. There were some horrific stuff on those covers. 306 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.920 We always say the podcast you walk down the store as a kid, and 307 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.839 it's like, I've never seen the movie, but I remember the cover. 308 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.000 The cover was just just captured your imagination. You think, what the fuck 309 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.599 is this movie about? But because the covers, because covers are a thing 310 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.279 anymore, really are they? Because the physical media is dying and the poster 311 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.119 art on streaming service is always changing. But I can remember, for example, 312 00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.039 Evil Dead too, that skull cover that's just embedded in my brain. 313 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.680 Yes, yes, yes, yes, and like it had a human eye 314 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:10.079 in it, and I'm like, oh, that's really like, hang on, 315 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:15.079 here's one that'll take you back down memory lane. Hell Raiser. Yeah 316 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.680 yeah, yeah, like the shit that's on the back of that one that 317 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.839 Yeah, it's always like you'd see if I cover and go, this looks 318 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.599 scary? Do I dare look at the back because the back's gonna be worse? 319 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.359 Yeah? Yeah. Man. So I definitely think with Treehouse of Horror, 320 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:33.519 especially the ones where they acknowledge like Freddie Jason Pinhead, like the Shinning 321 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.400 episode where Moe's like the Guls and I a little concerned that the project isn't 322 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:38.200 moving forward, and he's like, oh, I crying out loud, and 323 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.839 then they come in and grab him and all that. And then I remember 324 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:48.599 the couch gag with Freddy and Jason and they actually got Robert England in to 325 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.440 do the voice, and I just kept playing that over and over, and 326 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.200 we have the photos somewhere. The Nightmare and Evergreen Terrorist episode. I remember 327 00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:03.279 pausing because Dad takes I remember Paul and getting the old disposable camera and taking 328 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.440 photos of the screen of Willy with the rake and the sweater, and like 329 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:15.319 half the screen is black and you just see the bottom of Willy. So 330 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.440 I'm a big wrestling fan right when I was a kid, and I thought 331 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.720 that I would take photos of my little poloid whatever, not poloid, but 332 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.039 just like wind up camera of the TV screen during a wrestling pay per view. 333 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.039 You take photos and tell my friends that I went to the event. 334 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.240 So I'm sitting there and fucking taking all these photos of the TV. Get 335 00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:33.640 them developed. I'm so exciting, tell my friends I went to the event. 336 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.839 And they're all just blurry black half, you know, can't make out 337 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.240 shit. And I'm like ah, man, I'm glad you I wasn't the 338 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.759 only one. I love that. Just try and pull one over them. 339 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.920 That's great. Yeah, the good old tube tellies man, and then the 340 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.960 oh yeah you would like for probably for all the relics you've got, what's 341 00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.720 just good for old school video games? Yeah, and I remember when the 342 00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.279 DVD started to roll out, like obviously, when they started with season one 343 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.680 in that gray box set. I always remember constantly going to Big w to 344 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.720 see when they're on special and just buy them all up. And then I 345 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.680 got to season seven and I couldn't find the regular box version. It was 346 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:21.279 Marge's head and I'm like, okay, I'll grab this one. This is 347 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:26.240 gonna do my OCD and I hate this and yeah, it's just the bane 348 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.160 of my collecting existence. Well, I remember when they first released those, 349 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.519 they were only available in the head shapes first, and then after all the 350 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.440 outrage and people gone, they look stupid on my shelf, they re released 351 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.000 them in the boxes. So us, being the fools we are, we 352 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.799 then bought the second set of the exact same thing, but just because the 353 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:47.279 cover looked better. Yeah. Yeah, and they rely on people like us 354 00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.119 because they're like regardless of how angry they are, they're still gonna buy it. 355 00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.359 Who cares. Yeah, I feel like a lot of outrage online is 356 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:55.920 all fake. Anyway, do you get like comments on your videos of just 357 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.640 fake outrage? Sometimes I do. I try to limit how often I look 358 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.559 at comments on my videos, especially if I know it's going to be a 359 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.680 topic that's going to stir people up. So, like I did my Rebel 360 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:07.880 Moon Part two review. I gave it a three and a half out of 361 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.079 five, I'm like, yeah, this is far from perfect, but like 362 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.279 the end battle sequence I really liked. And anyway, everyone's blasting the film, 363 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.400 so I haven't. I've left that video. I haven't gone to the 364 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.680 comment section. I'm like, I'm good because a lot of people comment as 365 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.759 if you are telling them how to feel. They don't realize that you're just 366 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:33.119 telling them how you feel. And you know, movies are subjective. The 367 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.920 Simpsons is subjective, you know, it's media is subjective. So it's okay 368 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.240 to like something that some people just can't fathom them. They they go to 369 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.480 the lowest common denominator and they'll be like, well, you know, your 370 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.839 your eyebrows are weed, your noseweed or you know your parents are fuck because 371 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.720 you've got that opinion. I'm like, what, Yeah, it's especially when 372 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.440 it comes to like comic book films, man, like you got to you 373 00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.880 got to tread very carefully. You don't want to angry the crew. Well, 374 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.640 I've learned, especially with The Simpsons, if you post anything that's post 375 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.319 season ten, you're in trouble. Yeah, and especially like whether it be 376 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.880 your page or like rock Bottom or Copyr Hypoglobal Mega Nat, like someone will 377 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:17.440 post a meme. Actually I posted a photo so you know Universal Studios in 378 00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:21.160 Hollywood they've got the Simpsons land. Yeah, my mates and I went there 379 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:26.799 twenty twelve and it's where the quickimart is and there's an illustration of Millhouse. 380 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.880 I think he's like graffeiting or something on the side and anywhere me in front 381 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.559 of him, and I'm yeah, and I'm facing him, and I kid 382 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.160 you not the way it's framed up perfectly, it looks like Millhouse has cut 383 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:42.000 my leg and he's performing fullatio on me. And we didn't mean to do 384 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.960 that. I just got the they got my mates got the photo and I'm 385 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.240 like, oh my god, it looks like Millhouse is going to town down 386 00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.519 there and I just posted it like as a laugh on one of the pages, 387 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.759 and everyone was like saying, you know, Predator and all that, 388 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.119 and I'm like, oh, okay, I got it. The no no, 389 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:00.119 no, Chris Hands is going to show up in a man This isn't 390 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.160 good. The thing is, so if you I don't know, it's just 391 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:10.279 you post anything season ten. They just feel like you're opposed. Like are 392 00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:11.599 you just saying you're like the Simpons because you like the Simpson because you want 393 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.480 to get in their goodlie souse. You got to a podcast, And I'm 394 00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.640 like, it's okay to like things post season ten. You do understand that, 395 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.680 right, It's okay for people to like anything something that you don't like. 396 00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:23.480 That's what they can't seem to understand is just because you don't like it 397 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:27.079 doesn't mean it's bad. It means that you don't like it. No, 398 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.720 that's it. And I still haven't watched it. Yeah. Look, I 399 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.480 don't watch much new Simpsons these days. It's more or less like just having 400 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.960 the time to sit down and watch it. But I do want to watch 401 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.519 the episode. I watched Simpson Theory break it Down the other day of the 402 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.559 episode how Larry the Barfly died. Okay, yep, have you watched that 403 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.519 episode yet? No? Is it available on Disney Plus yet or do you 404 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.079 just pirate it? I don't know, man, Like I'm assuming it just 405 00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:59.680 went out live like on regular Telly over there. But yeah, she was 406 00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.000 brief breaking down that episode. I'm like, that actually sounds pretty well written. 407 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:07.519 So I feel like I need to invest a bit of time and you 408 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.000 know, playing catch up. But like, because I'm so narrow minded and 409 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.200 a child of nostalgia from the nineties and stuff like that, and like it's 410 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:22.680 my comfort food from like season four to season I actually go to twelve because 411 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.039 I remember back in the day, we had the bootleg foxtail box with the 412 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:33.359 Dodgy sim card you put in yeah, yeah, and every Saturday and Sunday, 413 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.680 man from nine to twelve, Fox say the Simpsons Marathon, And like 414 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:44.279 my ritual on Saturday morning was go to tennis halfway through the marathon and tennis 415 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:48.279 was literally like a five minute walk down the road and then come back and 416 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.839 catch the last episode before it hit midday. And then you know, the 417 00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.000 days just started and just like and then when the Olympics were on and they 418 00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.119 had that massive marathon Simpsons FanFest. Mate, one of the highlights of my 419 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:06.559 childhood. Mate, that was like we were spoiled, absolutely spoil like you 420 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.880 could just go away, do something, come back and just it's just plain. 421 00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:14.920 It was so good. I've still got VHS tapes of me recording that 422 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:22.880 marathon. That's so good. Oh man, I remember the Oprah special and 423 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:26.799 Homer's like upro oupro chat. Fuck man, I'm so glad you remember. 424 00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.440 We must have watched the same shit, because I've still got that Channel ten 425 00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.599 to a marathon on a Friday night in like nineteen ninety five, and I've 426 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.720 still got the videotaped me recording it. And I was hosted by two people 427 00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:40.480 from Neighbors and that was sort of like the chief TV guys before this, 428 00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:44.920 right in between the episodes, and they aired that opera skit for the first 429 00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.079 time during that that marathon. So that's why you probably we probably watched it 430 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:49.960 at the exact same time one hundred percent. Man, Yeah, I think 431 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.599 so. Yeah, And oh man, what else was there? There was 432 00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.079 a few other spellers. Yeah, I remember the Oprah one because Dad taped 433 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.480 that one for me. Oh do you remember when they were it was a 434 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.559 big huha, and they're like, you know, r rated Simpsons. The 435 00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.559 one went Homer and Margin naked trying to get home. They edited at nine 436 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.240 point thirty in stand of seven thirty. Yeah, yeah, And mom and 437 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:12.640 dad were like, you can't watch that one. I'm like, come on, 438 00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.720 Lynn, please be a friend and you're mean and I'm like, come 439 00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.000 on, man, and you watch it. And he went, ah, 440 00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.000 it's actually not that bad at all. No, it wasn't. It was. 441 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.000 It was good. It was a good episode, especially when Home is 442 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:30.119 getting dragged up the glass. Yes, I remember they on the trailer for 443 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.200 that, they had like when Noah in front of in the front of everybody 444 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.680 at the football field and they're covering themselves, But on the ad it just 445 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:37.880 had big sensored marks in front of it. I was like, holy shit, 446 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.839 we gotta see him naked, but of course you don't. Yeah. 447 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:47.279 Yeah. And then the Simpsons movie came out and we saw Bart's doodle. 448 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.039 I'm like, what, I don't have to feel about that. I was 449 00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:53.599 like that, I feel a bit uncomfortable, like the whole I remember the 450 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.720 whole audience in our cinema. It was a nervous laugh it's like, if 451 00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.640 you laugh at this, something's wrong with you. I remember, though, 452 00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.319 when the movie finished, I know you said, there was that sort of 453 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.200 awkwardness of I think it was good, but I remember when I watched it 454 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.559 for the first time, there were people standing up and applauding it. And 455 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.599 I'm thinking, I'm not going to do that, But there were people applauding 456 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:17.400 the movie. I think they just felt that they had to because it was 457 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.720 the Simpsons and have just been lifelong fans, and we waited so long, 458 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.039 that was the thing. We'd waited so long, hadn't we for that movie. 459 00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.640 Yeah, it just seemed like forever it was in development, in development, 460 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:29.720 which it was like it was in development health for quite some time, 461 00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.000 because I think they went through a fair few writers, did they in a 462 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:34.680 fair few iterations of the script? Is that correct? Yeah? It went 463 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.880 fair a long time like that. I think that's why they brought in the 464 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.680 originals in the end. I'm like, Ah, these guys seem to know 465 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.559 what's up. They wrote the Golden ear. Let's just get those guys in. 466 00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:45.039 I mean, that's the smartest thing you can do, man, because 467 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.759 now more so they're fully aware that the Golden Era will always be the best. 468 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.480 That's why it's the Golden Era. But yeah, I think the jokes 469 00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:59.000 landed pretty well. I just like it's just little things that stick out to 470 00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.759 here that you know, you still it's just like, you know, I 471 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.880 was elected to lead, not to read just President Schwartzenegger, and I don't 472 00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:08.039 know, just very very funny, like even like the whole Tom Hanks thing, 473 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:11.319 you know, tussle my hair, mister Hanks. I feel like that 474 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.680 movie was the first half an hour was really solid, and then appeared with 475 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.160 the epiphany of Homer just sort of just dragged for me, and then when 476 00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.279 they finally got to Springfield, it became good again. So I feel like 477 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:25.559 there's goes about ninety minutes. I feel it there's about fifty minutes of good 478 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:30.279 quality content in there. Yeah. When he has the whole existential thing with 479 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.599 the lady in the hut and all that, I'm like, yeah, okay, 480 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:38.200 Like I kind of equate that to when he has the chili and he's 481 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:42.000 high as a kite with the coyote. Yeah, I'm like, but that's 482 00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.359 because he had a chili. Like he's a bit crook, but he'll come 483 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:51.480 good. Yeah, that's when it definitely did dip. But also I think 484 00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:56.359 it was very sweet when Marge leaves the tape for him and she says, 485 00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:59.279 you know, I tape this over our wedding thing, and I was like, 486 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.319 oh, that really hit me in the fields. I'm like, I 487 00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.400 kind of haven't felt that way before whilst watching The Simpsons, and I'm like, 488 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.839 that was some pretty good writing. I like that. Yeah, that 489 00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.920 was the first time I remember watching feeling genuine emotion, going oh shit, 490 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:15.240 And you could feel it in the cinema too. Everyone was sort of going, 491 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.960 oh man, you could sense the saddness in the room. Yeah, 492 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.759 but something that's not sad. Radioactive Man, an episode that I chose for 493 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.839 us to discuss because you know, you were you are you still Cosplay Chris 494 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:29.839 or you are now Chris Stanley, what's the deal? So on? So 495 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.079 I got the main YouTube channel Cosplay Chris, and I just changed my name 496 00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:36.200 on Instagram to kind of like broaden the horizon, so it's just Chris Stanley 497 00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:40.240 Official. But yeah, still Cosplay actually did a shoot yesterday as Christopher Reeve 498 00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:44.079 Superman, which is fun, but yeah, just try and like, so 499 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.440 I should have like started the second channel ages Ago Man, like just keep 500 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:51.519 the build videos separate from the talking videos with like movie reviews, entertainment news 501 00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.839 stuff like that. So yeah, like, this is definitely one of my 502 00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.000 favorite episodes because the idea of a beloved comic book character. It's like is 503 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.440 if Batman was coming to shoot here in Sydney. That's a massive deal. 504 00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:10.240 And I think just everything that goes on in that episode is comedic genius. 505 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.359 The way Springfield carries on knowing that Hollywood is coming to their town, just 506 00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:20.799 little things, the way Wigham and the mayor carry on, you know, 507 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.640 it's just great. I feel like this is what would happen. Sydney's a 508 00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:30.519 big city. This is what would happen if Hollywood came to Geelong, smaller, 509 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:31.519 smaller than Sydney. You know, this is like, holy shit, 510 00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:34.880 it's hollywoods coming. But I love the way they flipped the script here. 511 00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.839 What's the world to do with this? With the Hollywood guys being the good 512 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:43.000 guys and Quimby and like Springfield being the villains. Essentially, Yes, that's 513 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:46.839 correct. And also this was the first hang on, I've got my trivia 514 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:51.720 here. This is the first episode to be digitally colored. Yeah, I've 515 00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:52.720 got that my notes too. I thought, I remember watching this as a 516 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:58.079 kid, feeling this looks different. There's something about this that feels not off, 517 00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.000 but just different to the other episodes. And it's because this is the 518 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.680 only one in cool season. Yeah it does. Till season twelve, they 519 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.119 didn't do it again, so it always just stood out to me, going 520 00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.200 what's going on here? But that's why digital coloring and they ye had season 521 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:13.480 twelve and they did it full on from season fifteen. I think that's when 522 00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.440 I made the switch, and like to this day, my two best mates 523 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:21.279 to know, like we'll just be like we will say something and it's just 524 00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.000 like, yeah, it's real, and then my mate Peter'll be like real 525 00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:29.920 accid. My quote that I use all the time in real life is just 526 00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:35.079 going to put my shoes on whatever Nikola says, are you ready? And 527 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.319 are you and your undies in the living room with slot cars. I tried 528 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:44.160 to be not all the time, but yeah, like it. It's definitely 529 00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:46.759 like one of the most quotable with my mates, Like we'll again just be 530 00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:51.960 like look at my range or just like E usually just tape a bunch of 531 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.920 cats together. There are so many elements of this episode that I appreciated more 532 00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:58.039 as an adult than I was a kid, Like the crusty like you just 533 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.440 said, with the range. As a kid, I didn't get whatever, 534 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:01.880 it's just crusty being crusty. As an adult, I'm like, that's so 535 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:05.200 fucking good. Yeah, Like when I was a kid, I thought he 536 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:07.320 said rage rag and I'm like, yeah, you don't look that angry, 537 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.480 like I'm pitchy. You're happy, prusty. I don't know what's going on, 538 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:15.119 but yeah, just also just how just what kind of what it says 539 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.679 about Hollywood as well, and you know when a big budget thing comes to 540 00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.599 a small town and how the town can change, and like you said, 541 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:24.440 it flips the switch where Hollywood, the Hollywood people are the good guys, 542 00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:30.480 and Springfield turns into like not grubby, money hungry. But you see the 543 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:32.800 way Quimby carries on, Wigan carries on. You know, if there's an 544 00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.239 animal that's snooting around just set, we'll have it wiped out, we'll have 545 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.800 it extinct, and shops increasing their price. It's kind of like you know 546 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:44.639 when it's a long weekend and all the petrol prices go up. Even snake 547 00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:46.440 upped these prices. That's amazing it did. Yeah, exactly. I was 548 00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.760 going to bash you apparently, except I feel like this episode though, as 549 00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.400 a kid, whopped my idea and perception of what Hollywood was, because I 550 00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:58.360 finally visited in twenty sixteen and I got there and I was like, this 551 00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:02.719 is not what I expected, very disappointed. Well, we rocked up on 552 00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.840 Hollywood Strip at about two pm in the afternoon, and the first thing I 553 00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:08.960 saw when we got it we went quite on the proper strip, we're all 554 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:12.960 the Chinese theater and stuff, was we're a little bit further down and we're 555 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:14.760 going to have the car, and the first thing I saw was a homeless 556 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:16.280 dude pissing on a street sign. That was the first thing I ever saw 557 00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:21.440 in Hollywood. Welcome to Hollywood, baby, Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, 558 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.199 it's basically I felt then how the kids felt when they arrived at the 559 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:29.039 World's Fair. You know the wad fur No no, no, yeah, 560 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:31.639 the wardfur. Did you at least walk away with some wigs? I tried 561 00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:35.719 to find some know what I walked away was with less money. Because Nikolas, 562 00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:37.159 she's one of she's a patsy. So we'd walk down the street, 563 00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:39.199 and I'd say, right, everyone's gonna want you to take a photo of 564 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.679 you with them for money. I said, don't do it. Don't go 565 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:45.320 do that, Chewbacer, don't do anything. The first thing she does goes, 566 00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:47.400 hey, this guy's gonna snake, let's take a photo. I'm like, 567 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.400 oh, Nikola, it's gonna cost us fifty dollars and yeah. You 568 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.079 never go near those people. And then the rappers hanging out handing out their 569 00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.320 demo discs and you grab it and then they're like whoa, oh, whoa, 570 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.480 where's a donation? And then they start threatening you were like, oh, 571 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.800 what have I done. I've told the story on the podcast numerous times. 572 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:08.760 When Nicola thought would be a good idea, because this is all on 573 00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:13.440 our honeymoon, a good idea to walk from the main Las Vegas strip to 574 00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:16.280 the old one. And when you're doing that, that's a fair walk, 575 00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:20.840 isn't it. Yeah? Fuck oth it is and it's hot. And we 576 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:24.599 get about halfway right and there's this guy, I assume homeless, I don't 577 00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.920 know, but wrap a demo disc, right, but he just walks up 578 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.519 to us out of nowhere from the shadows, and he was just in my 579 00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:35.800 ears. I thought he said, can I show you photos of my baby? 580 00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:37.800 I was like, yeah, sure, cool dude, whatever you reckon. 581 00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:40.719 But he pulls out his phone and I don't know what he actually said, 582 00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:44.639 but he starts playing this demo rap on his phone. What do you 583 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:45.039 think? I said, Oh, it's cool here. Yeah, yeah, 584 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:50.440 I'm taking donations. Okay. I remember thinking at that time, I don't 585 00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:52.199 actually have any cash on me right now, there is no one around. 586 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:57.559 I'm probably about to die. That's what I remember thinking that moment. I 587 00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.079 remember looking at seeing nobody, going, we're in here, and he followed, 588 00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:04.039 and the entire time he walked with us for about five minutes, just 589 00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.719 rapping this song in my ear. I could feel his breath on my ear 590 00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:12.360 and the smell, and eventually we saw this little bar. Just ran straight 591 00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.039 in there, and the guy in the bar goes, yeah, they know 592 00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.039 they can't come into these places, so they just go away. I'm thinking, 593 00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:22.760 holy shit, welcome to America. Yeah, man, you've got to 594 00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:28.280 have your wits about you. Yeah. That that happened in Venice Beach and 595 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:31.480 then also in New York when they were hanging out the discs and I still 596 00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:35.440 have it I'm like, if I'm gonna give this man this money because my 597 00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:37.360 life is being threatened, I'm gonna keep this disc. And his name was 598 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:43.039 Swaggy Jeff. And I've still got the disc and Dad found it in storage 599 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:46.480 one day and Dad's like, mate, who's bloody Swaggy Jeff. And I'm 600 00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:51.159 like, oh, told him the story and he put the disc in and 601 00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:54.000 it's just obviously like wrap And Dad's like, this is fucking awful. Mate, 602 00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:58.360 you've got a bit of Perry Como or something to play. I'm gonna 603 00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:05.000 google it. Swaggy Jeff. Swaggy Jeff the most handsome hustler from the Bahamas. 604 00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:12.199 He has three Oh, Swaggy Jeff sold me a CD on the sidewalk 605 00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.159 in New York City. That's that's a Reddit post. There you go. 606 00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.280 It comes forward and I really want to find him. The only thing is 607 00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:27.159 the city only had one song on it. I can't believe that's on Reddit. 608 00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:29.360 That's amazing. Yeah, that's from ten years ago. Yeah, we 609 00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:31.039 got to find Swaggy Jeff. If you're out there listening, Swaggy, get 610 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:36.039 in touch. But yeah, radioactive man, though, what were your first 611 00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:37.440 thoughts rewatching? Did you rewatch it for this review, or you just go 612 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.880 one based off memory because we've just watched it so many times already. No, 613 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:45.280 No, I've got it on my laptop here and I rewatched it the 614 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.639 other morning. Chloe and I were actually watching it and having coffee in bed, 615 00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:52.559 just playing catch up. But again, it's just the little things, 616 00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:55.480 man, Like just the fact that Barton Millhouse are wearing hats and they never 617 00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:59.440 wear hats at the beginning, and it's just like they most fixed their air 618 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:07.719 conditioning. And also the little bit where where Skinner's like radio Man, radioactive 619 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:10.559 man, stupid. I don't know why I could hear that, but anyway, 620 00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:16.480 Yes, and then the hats once again. Yeah, it's definitely one 621 00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:19.880 of those episodes that sticks in the back of my mind. But also, 622 00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.239 like you said that, the Easter eggs, like when they up their prices, 623 00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:28.920 signage, things that are just peppered throughout that episode. There's always something 624 00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:30.760 to look at in every frame. I think it's one that sort of just 625 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:36.119 taps into my my nerdy self, especially with comic book Guy going to the 626 00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.559 nerd obsessive to find out who's in who's gonna be cast as radioactive Man. 627 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:43.800 Just takes me back to the glory days of the internet. Prince in that 628 00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.119 chat room. I don't know whether it's supposed to be Princes, but it 629 00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:49.719 sure as how it looks like a really weird version of him, right, 630 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:54.079 yeah, yeah, I also love he's like comic book guys little and you 631 00:39:54.159 --> 00:40:01.360 hear his shoes squeaking on the floor. Yeah. I always, even as 632 00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:06.039 a kid, I was like, that's I'm young, but that's Prince. 633 00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.679 Like, why is Prince in a movie gossip chat room? Maybe it was 634 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:13.599 their way of dissing him for not doing the episode, and now they're going 635 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.440 to do the Return of Leon Kompowski the Michael Jackson episode. Oh right, 636 00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:20.239 I didn't know they were going to do that. Yeah, they wrote a 637 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.760 sequel and it was going to be Princess said of Michael Jackson, and Prince 638 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.199 agreed to do it. Blah blah blah. They wrote the script. So 639 00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:30.199 the script is out there somewhere, and I'm pretty sure that the writers have 640 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.000 put screenshots of online somewhere on Twitter. But basically, he read the script 641 00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.800 and said he didn't like a few things and got his I think he's chauffeur 642 00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:39.679 to like rewrite the script. For him or something, and they're like, 643 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:44.159 we're not having this, and then he just pulled out. So I think 644 00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:47.679 they were just angry about that. Oh my god. I had no idea 645 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:53.159 about that. And because I know Michael Jackson went under an alias, he 646 00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:57.960 didn't get credited as much Jackson did. John J. Smith was John Something, 647 00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.920 wasn't it. Yeah, yeah, some sort of alias. But I 648 00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:05.320 had no idea that Prince was gonna come in for like the follow up episode. 649 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:07.199 I didn't even know there was going to be a follow up episode. 650 00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:09.199 Yeah, I'm kind kind of glad they didn't makes Michael Jackson want stand out 651 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:14.760 more even though the episode doesn't exist anymore, it doesn't Oh what's been turned 652 00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:16.440 down by the actual creators of the show. Alig basically came out and said 653 00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:22.960 and in twenty nineteen that they're taking it off of any streaming services because and 654 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:25.760 add of syndication, because they feel that Michael Jackson used it to groom children. 655 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.440 Oh what to be like, Hey, I was in the Simpsons type 656 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:31.800 thing, like he came to usk, came on the show, and like 657 00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:36.039 he would have put that episode on when he was grooming kids. So now 658 00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:38.920 they've just yep, the episode's gone from history. Oh man, I had 659 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:44.079 no idea about that, because didn't they didn't they do that with a few 660 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:47.639 other episodes that were a bit I wouldn't say problematic, But depends on the 661 00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:52.000 country. I know, in the I'm pretty sure thirty minutes of a Tokyo 662 00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:55.000 wasn't allowed over there when it was originally out. I remember that. Yeah, 663 00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.079 yeah, there's a couple others, but anyway, but yeah, anyway, 664 00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:00.400 I feel like this episode they're radioactive. Man. Do you feel like 665 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.920 it would have benefited from more celebrity cameos? Because I tend to prefer when 666 00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:07.440 they keep it more Springfield and Springfield celebs like Randy and wolf Castle. But 667 00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:09.760 I feel like this episode might have been one where you could have sort of 668 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:14.800 gone down the home at the bat Rap with more celebs coming in. I 669 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:16.960 don't know, what do you think? I think so? I think because 670 00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:22.079 the inclusion of Hollywood coming to town they're filming a movie, I think that's 671 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:27.039 when it could have given the writers permission to just go ballistic and have an 672 00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.880 array of cameos. Same with the episode with Kim basing at, Alec Baldwin 673 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:34.000 and Ron Howard. That's a pretty big lineup, but I definitely think they 674 00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:36.119 could have gotten away with it. But at the same time, you run 675 00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:40.159 that risk of it being too much of a distraction and taking away from the 676 00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:44.960 core characters. It's called the Simpsons because it's about the Simpsons and also Springfield, 677 00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:50.199 but I think it could have been an opportunity to have the cameos, 678 00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:54.360 like that's their excuse to go ham and have an abundance of cameos, special 679 00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:59.800 guests like celebs voicing and coming in to do bit parts and stuff like that. 680 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:01.960 So it's kind of yeah, it's a double edged sword. I think, 681 00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:06.480 like too many, it's a distraction, but also you know, have 682 00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:08.280 them peppered throughout. I think it could work. Man, what about you, 683 00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:10.320 Well, it's funny that you brought it Ron Howar, because I was 684 00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:14.559 thinking the exact same thing that maybe bring in a director to play the director 685 00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.239 role. Not necessarily get actors, but have the director be somebody. I 686 00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:22.199 thought, because Ron Howards hilarious, I thought him being him playing that role 687 00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:27.119 would have worked. I think, ah, dumbassy, was it run? 688 00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:31.760 How would you have done it again? Yeah? Exactly, like obviously like 689 00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:36.440 Mickey Rooney, but like Mickey Rooney's Mickey Rooney. Like, I feel like 690 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:40.480 there's only a certain demographic of people that would instantly be like I know that 691 00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:45.719 person. And then obviously you know rain Year is you know Springfield celebrity. 692 00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:47.480 Yeah, I don't know, Like I directed, that would have been great, 693 00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:52.360 Like imagine if like they actually had not seniors spilled bettergla, they had 694 00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:54.719 actually Steven Spielberg come in, And I was thinking the same thing. It'd 695 00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:59.679 be so cool. I feel like Spielberg will be up for it too. 696 00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:02.719 He's like a fun guy. I feel like he'd be like a secret fan 697 00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:06.320 if they ask him. He's like, I actually have a confession. I'm 698 00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:08.400 the biggest Simpsons fan ever. Like you just like there are those celebrities that 699 00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:13.639 have weird obsessions or not weird, but you wouldn't pick it from their personality 700 00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:17.360 type. Wasn't George Clooney a fan of South Park and that's why he voiced 701 00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:21.360 Sparky the dog, the gay dog. Yeah? Yeah, so that was 702 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.000 legit him him he did the barking. Yeah, that's amazing. I know, 703 00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:29.559 right, but I'm pretty sure because he was George Clooney at that point 704 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.519 and South Park was sort of just starting he probably thought. His agent probably 705 00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:34.880 went, Okay, you can go on the show, but you're not going 706 00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.679 to be George Clinton. You can be something else. He's like, right, 707 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.679 I'll be the gay dog if I have to. But at the end 708 00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:43.760 of the day, though radioctive Man as an episode, I feel like this 709 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:46.000 is a it becomes a Mialhouse episode, doesn't it, And how he manages 710 00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:50.079 to cope with the instant fame of being a child star, and it's kind 711 00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:52.760 of like a reflection on how parents push their kids to become stars and then 712 00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:57.800 live vicariously through them. It's what Luan and Kirk do here. He's like, 713 00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.559 I don't want to audition, and she pushes it. He gets the 714 00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:02.440 role, and of course we see them enjoying the fame all the money that 715 00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:05.000 comes with it, and he's like, I don't want to do this. 716 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:09.559 She can't hear him over her jacuzzi suit, Millhouse, baby learning a drug 717 00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:15.960 dealer. Keep her aware. Man. Whenever you see Phil Hartman like Lionel 718 00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:20.199 Hearts and Troumicclure just makes me so sad. Oh Man, like we when 719 00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:23.400 because a lot of people that I talk to and I'm like, yeah, 720 00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:27.159 Phil Hartman and I and they're like, yeah, like he doesn't do much 721 00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:30.400 these days, and I'm like, oh, buddy, I have something to 722 00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:35.360 tell you. Everything he was in and like even jingle all the way, 723 00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:39.119 just like, oh, Howard, this cookies are so good. Just he's 724 00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:44.880 he was just so good man. And again like even though it was like 725 00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:50.719 little bits where it be trou McClure or Lionel Hearts or even just other little 726 00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:55.760 obscure characters, it was just so damn good. But going back to Millhouse 727 00:45:55.840 --> 00:46:00.480 becoming the star. I respect the writers forgeting it to Millhouse and not Bart 728 00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:07.239 and having it be a character that isn't in the immediate family. But then 729 00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:10.840 also that way Bart learns that famers and everything, like Millhouse has already learned 730 00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:13.880 that right off the bat. He's like, I don't want this, like 731 00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:19.119 obviously Kirk and LAWANDU. But Bart sees it through Millhouse and is like, 732 00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:23.320 maybe this worked out pretty well because this isn't exactly what's cracked up to be. 733 00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:27.920 I think it was also nice that Bart wasn't jealous of Millhouse. He 734 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.119 just sort of worked out a new way to get involved in the film with 735 00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:34.239 that having to sort of try and sabotage Millhouse's position. Yeah, what did 736 00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:37.679 he say to Lisa? Lisa gives the big speech and he says something like 737 00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:39.599 yeah, I'll just suck up to him or something like that. Love lot 738 00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:45.840 of people do with God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When 739 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.519 he goes in and sees Millhouse and the director comes and he's like, again 740 00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:52.199 it again, I got it again. Like I say that quote all the 741 00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:54.320 time of the podcast, when I say again again and again it again, 742 00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.199 and then someone else is like, we did it. It's done. Yeah. 743 00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:04.079 As a kid, I always thought I was a Bart, But the 744 00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:07.159 more older I get, I feel like I was definitely a Millhouse. Well 745 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:09.119 do you feel like you're a Millhouse or a Bart? I was a Bart? 746 00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:15.239 Yeah. So primary school I was a shithead, Like I was always 747 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:21.039 going to the principal's office. I so, I actually this sounds so bad. 748 00:47:21.079 --> 00:47:24.760 I bit a kid on the arm after Bart did something similar once and 749 00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:28.079 I got sent to the principals. I was, And that's when mom and 750 00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:30.760 dad were like, I think we've made a mistake letting him watch the Simpsons. 751 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.599 And yeah, I was a bit of a feral child in primary school. 752 00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:37.360 Soon as as soon as I hit high school. It was I was 753 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:40.280 like a little nerdy kid, but yeah, I was definitely a Bart like 754 00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:45.519 absolutely, and I actually I actually told a teacher to eat my shorts in 755 00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:51.039 grade three. Man, what about ass Ah? Yeah, man, it 756 00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:53.320 didn't go down well. But like, you know, looking back on it, 757 00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:58.039 like, and my mum was the type she wouldn't call it the Simpsons. 758 00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.039 I don't know if your parents were this, but it's a very I 759 00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:02.320 realized it was a very common theme. Mom would be like, oh, 760 00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:07.679 you're not watching the Bart Simpson Shower, are you? Mom? Simpsons? 761 00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:09.639 Well? See, I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons until I was six 762 00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:15.400 because it's the famous iconic story I've always told on the podcast of Triosopara One 763 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:19.199 bad dream house, the family get possessed, make it gets a knife out 764 00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:21.440 of the kitchen draw. I went and did the same thing, walking to 765 00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:22.719 the lande with the family, had a knife in my hand. And that 766 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:29.119 was the end of me watching The Simpsons for several years. So not good. 767 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:32.519 It's funny though I'm a parent now, wow, So I always say, 768 00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:35.880 what was mum worried about? You know, the Simpsons? Isn't that 769 00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:37.239 bad compared to what they watch these days. The Simpsons isn't that bad. 770 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:42.840 But I now watch the Simpsons, and particularly I was talking with Guy yesterday 771 00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:45.639 about the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons. I now watch it and go I'm not 772 00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:49.840 sure whether I want Elliott to watch this yet, because Elliott, my son's 773 00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:52.079 nearly six, so he's kind of old enough to know about it. But 774 00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.440 my daughter's three nearly four, and she can't quite differentiate the different difference between 775 00:48:55.519 --> 00:49:00.440 what's real and what's not. So if she's watching Itchy and Scratchy and Scratches 776 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.519 getting his head cut off and blood squeating it everywhere, I think it's too 777 00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:06.360 much for her. I don't know what are your thoughts. It's a tough 778 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.639 one because actually, Itchy and Scratchy was my dad's favorite part of The Simpsons. 779 00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:15.960 Every time an episode was on, in the episode like Dad would laugh 780 00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:20.840 like the creepy old uncle. He'd be wheezing and slapping his knee. And 781 00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:27.119 I was young, so I don't know, Like, obviously I'm not a 782 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.800 parent, but I'm at that age now where I can look back and be 783 00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:32.239 like, okay, like watching Itching and scratch and be like if I had 784 00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:37.760 a child, Now there was maybe similar age to either your son or your 785 00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:43.280 daughter. I'd be like, as goofy as this is, and it's stylized 786 00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.159 because it's a cartoon. Maybe there's a time and a place for this. 787 00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:50.320 I think I think gonna wait till he's maybe seven. I don't know, 788 00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:53.920 Yeah, And I always I don't know why. When I was younger, 789 00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:58.480 like really really young, and I just started watching it, the one Itchy 790 00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:06.239 and Scratchy episode that terrified me. And it's the stupidest episode when Scratchy gets 791 00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:10.760 the ants put on his head and goes up through into the TV and Elvis 792 00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:15.199 is like, ah, this show ain't no good. Like that just scared 793 00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:17.960 me. I don't know why. Just weird things like that that scare you 794 00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:21.039 as a kid. You look back and you're like, what was wrong with 795 00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:23.360 me? I used to be terrified of My favorite movie is ET, But 796 00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:25.360 as a child, I was terrified of it. I was back now and 797 00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:30.320 go, what the hell Brendan's ET? I don't know, Like mind you 798 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:36.159 that that shot where he like flares up and screams and all that, that's 799 00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:40.920 like the one that terrified Yeah. And also when he's in the ditch dying, 800 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.599 I'm like, that's horrifying what happened to him. I remember when she 801 00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:49.880 the mother comes in and takes the kids out, and he was like mom 802 00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:52.920 and starts screaming and crying because you're taking the kids away from me. I 803 00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:57.480 was like, that fucking haunted me. Man. Yeah, it was a 804 00:50:57.480 --> 00:50:59.599 bit like when you think about watching that as a kid, You're like, 805 00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:02.159 that's heavy, Like that has a lot of heavy themes in it, Like 806 00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:06.880 it's not just about, you know, a boy's relationship with an alien who 807 00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:08.039 becomes his best friend. I'm like, there's a lot of heavy themes in 808 00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:12.719 this. Do you find though, talking about like relating to characters? I 809 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.400 find the older I get I was discussing with guy yesterday as well, the 810 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.639 older I get I relate to characters that I've never used to. So as 811 00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:20.840 a kid related to the kids. Obviously, as you old, you relate 812 00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:23.519 to Homer and whatnot. But I find now as a parent, even though 813 00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:28.000 these guys aren't necessarily parents, Like Mo, for example, I relate to 814 00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:30.679 the anger and bitterness that Mo has to the world. It's like he's like 815 00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:35.199 a stress ball that I can live vicariously through. And Grandpa like shaking the 816 00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:37.199 fist of the cloud. Do you find that you've had moments like that? 817 00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:42.320 Now? Where has it happened to you with Grandpa kind of thing? Yeah? 818 00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:46.159 Yeah, I there are times like where I'll just get so cranky over 819 00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:50.760 the most trivial thing, and I'll make sure no one's around when it happens 820 00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:54.960 because I get very embarrassed and I'll have my episode and then be like what 821 00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:58.760 was that all about? I'm like, how old am I getting now that 822 00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:01.119 I'm like reacting way Whereas back in the day, like early twenties, like 823 00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:07.199 fine, Now it's like little things all, like you know, making sure 824 00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.719 I get stuff done during the day, like you know, around all the 825 00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:14.719 errands and stuff like that, and also planning a wedding as well, like 826 00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:20.559 that's like a stressful thing in itself. And you know, because Chloe's from 827 00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:24.679 South Africa and mum and dad live in Mauritius. So Mum and Dad arrived 828 00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:28.599 here a few days ago, My sister in law and brother in law are 829 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:34.079 coming here tonight, so it's all happening and it's kind of like Christmas vacation 830 00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:38.480 when the whole family's over and it's a full house and everything's happening because my 831 00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:43.199 parents live like fifteen minutes down the road, but I'm there like nearly every 832 00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:45.400 second day because I've got my workshop there where I do a lot of work. 833 00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:49.559 You know, we get like an Etsy order or something, so it's 834 00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:52.679 just all flat chat. All systems go until next week so and then all 835 00:52:52.679 --> 00:52:58.440 of a sudden it's over, and then it's just been all little things, 836 00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:01.440 man. So I definitely relate to Mo and Grandpa for sure. And I 837 00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:05.039 also like, obviously when you're a kid, you relate to the kids. 838 00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:09.760 But then when you find out that you're now older or around the same age 839 00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:15.199 as Homer and Marge, you're like, oh what, Yeah, no, 840 00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:17.360 I never thought i'd get to this, because I was saying to Nicola the 841 00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:21.599 other day, when we were like five or six, our parents were the 842 00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:25.800 same age and they seemed fucking old man. And now we are that to 843 00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:28.840 our kids. You know, they must look at us and go, they're 844 00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:31.760 old people. I don't feel old, but I'm old man. Yeah. 845 00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:37.079 And it's like that meme of the parents from Rugrats when you realize you're the 846 00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:40.480 same age as them and you're like, oh my god, I'm I'm feeling 847 00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:44.880 DP pickles. This is crazy, not good at all. No, no, 848 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:46.599 no, see I find myself relating to Mow and Grandpa more and more 849 00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:51.199 often. Yeah, one hundred percent. Man, And like, oh man, 850 00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:52.880 I don't know if it's a problem down in Geelong, but our biggest 851 00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:57.679 problem at the moment is little shits on those four thousand dollars e bikes at 852 00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:00.559 the moment that are like fanging a on paths and everything. And we've got 853 00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:04.880 a dog, We've got a little English Couga spaniel. Like they're doing like 854 00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:08.800 fifty k's on these little bike paths and like it might just take our dog 855 00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:14.039 just to veer off to go smell something clip him. And I get so 856 00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.840 angry, and I'm like, was I have this obnoxious when I was a 857 00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:21.239 kid? And I'm like, no, it's definitely the children's fault. It's 858 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:23.519 definitely the children who are wrong. I knew I was getting old when I 859 00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:28.800 started getting annoyed by people's haircuts. Oh but mind you like some of the 860 00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:31.840 like mullets and the broccoli haircut. Come on. I look at him like 861 00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:36.480 what are you doing, buddy, and Nicholas like you're just old. Yeah 862 00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:38.920 that's true. Did you have the ball cut when you were a kid. 863 00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:43.280 I had the Nick Carter part down the middle. I had that too. 864 00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:45.159 I had the frosted tips as well, but Mum insisted I had a bowl 865 00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:49.880 cut when I was a kid, and I think that didn't help with bullying 866 00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:52.280 in high school. In primary school, she's like, oh, you look 867 00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:54.000 a door where I'm like, if you say that, I must like I'm 868 00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:57.119 like Nelson, I'm like, I feel like punching myself. Well, was 869 00:54:57.199 --> 00:54:59.360 anything il you want to talk about? Radioactive man? Before? We aren't 870 00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:01.440 getting to your cosplay. I've covered all the good bits, right, I 871 00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:05.800 think, like, yeah, I think that's pretty much it, Like obviously 872 00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:07.079 like that you can go on and on about the jokes and all that. 873 00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:12.039 I just love, like Millhouses, is this a real X ray machine? 874 00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:16.079 Brilliant? Good question. We'll look into that. It was a great voice 875 00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:21.480 for that character, wasn't it. Ah Yeah, yeah, I just But 876 00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:24.280 then I also love because that's Hanka's area when he's like I'm telling you we're 877 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:29.639 sixty three years old and he's dead. It's just that gets you so many 878 00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:31.440 times in memes as well. It's just like, hey, we should get 879 00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:37.920 that person. They're dead. Ye just also like, wow, look at 880 00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:40.000 that ed. Okay, this place must be hot. They don't even have 881 00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:46.800 big advertising, all the correct spelling. I think for me, this standout 882 00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:51.159 scene though, is definitely the acid scene. That's the one that stuck with 883 00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:52.079 me the most. I don't know about you, what's the what's the one 884 00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:55.039 scene that you met with the most? Ah, it's the acid It's the 885 00:55:55.199 --> 00:56:00.559 acid scene, but also just the last shot of rain year after he's put 886 00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:02.960 the goggles on and he's like oh h and he just sits there like a 887 00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:07.639 little schoolboy prepped for his doom and he gets smashed away, and then obviously 888 00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:12.920 the ah oh, and then Krusty being like, I want to talk about 889 00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:17.719 this coffee. It's kind of like when he comes at the end of Who's 890 00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:21.440 Mister Burns? Part one? He's been a runa for six weeks? What 891 00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:25.000 have I missed? You know? Exactly? Exactly? Yeah, Yeah, 892 00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:30.440 definitely the acid scene. And I think just anything just with filming, and 893 00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:36.559 just also like Ralph and the boys on set, pestering the teamsters place, 894 00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:40.920 painting horses and cows and all stuff like that. It's just like again like 895 00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:45.920 going back to my mates and I quoting it like we'll be having a slow 896 00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:49.599 day, saying we'll just be like so lazy and surly it's so good, 897 00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:52.320 like Homer's relating to the teamsters. It's just me now, Like getting paid 898 00:56:52.360 --> 00:56:57.239 to do nothing seems like the dream. It's oh man, Like some people 899 00:56:57.360 --> 00:56:59.840 on movie sets, they just I'm like, why, why are you? 900 00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:04.599 What are you doing? That's what my wife says to me usually on a 901 00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:07.480 day to day basis. I've got to ask. Those POGs behind you hanging 902 00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:12.039 there are not only POGs, they are Simpson's Tasos. Oh my god, 903 00:57:12.119 --> 00:57:15.639 the Tazos. I used to have the fucking purple that you put them in. 904 00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:17.199 And I'll move the camera up so you can kind of see. Can 905 00:57:17.280 --> 00:57:21.239 you kind of see them? There we go Star Wars ones, Yeah, 906 00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:22.519 I can see them, There we go. POGs are sort of in there. 907 00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:25.679 They're the Tazo's in there as well. Just yeah, trying to move 908 00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:30.079 around. That's my vinyl collection, yep, yeah, love it. A 909 00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:31.960 lot of crazy crap on the walls. Also the trading card wall over there, 910 00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:36.400 see the trading card wall. The entire wallpaper is just nineties trading cards. 911 00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:39.440 Oh that's so sick. We actually just had a card shop open like 912 00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:43.480 two kilometers down the road. It's a tiny little shoe box, but they've 913 00:57:43.519 --> 00:57:49.559 got mostly like Pokemon Yu Gi Oh basketball, but they had an unopen Mint 914 00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:54.840 Batman nineteen eighty nine box of cards and bubblegum, and I'm like, I 915 00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:59.400 took my father father in law in there the other day and I'm like, 916 00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:02.440 what that gums like? And it's like when Milhouse bites the gum and it 917 00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:08.920 breaks his snaith. Yeah, yeah, oh, I got you unboxing out 918 00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:13.320 and you channel will be good views though, right, surely one hundred percent, 919 00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:15.440 But then you get people that are just like, why did you open 920 00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:22.440 it? It was mid yeah, just like like it'd be like comic book 921 00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:27.519 Guy when he's the collector trying to like keep Lucy Lawless in mid condition exactly. 922 00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.760 I remember because we got a second separate channel. I called it nerd 923 00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:32.519 Daddy. I do videos with my kid unboxing stuff every moe. He's like 924 00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:36.840 a baby, and we get so many people with unbox like Funko Pops take 925 00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:37.840 him out and play with him. My son when he was like want to 926 00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:40.480 be like bashing him around, and the comments are like, why are you 927 00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:43.760 taking it out of the box? It's not worth it any thing anymore. 928 00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:46.159 And I'm like, I don't care. It's a fucking toy. I'm playing 929 00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:50.960 with it. He's a kid. Let him enjoy it. Yeah, it's 930 00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:53.719 like live vi carously through him because you're clearly never gonna take your shit out 931 00:58:53.719 --> 00:58:55.920 of the box. So this is what it looks like out of the box. 932 00:58:57.159 --> 00:58:59.719 This is what it looks like when you do what what was originally intended. 933 00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:01.719 Trying to look around because I've got a lot of crazy crap on the 934 00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:05.360 walls too. But this was found the other day. I made the mine. 935 00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:08.440 Found this at a flea market. The rings from the Billy Zane Phantom 936 00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:13.760 some shit you're keep in the box. Yeah, I'm like, I had 937 00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:15.079 them when I was a kid, but you found them for five bucks at 938 00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:17.760 this flea market here in Sydney. I'm like, dude, can you please 939 00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:22.800 grab them for me? Like that's that's it, because like, yeah, 940 00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:27.280 just other little things. I don't know if you remember the McFarland toys back 941 00:59:27.480 --> 00:59:30.159 that was so great. I love the world of Springfield figures. I look 942 00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:32.800 back now and think, fuck, I wish I had collected those. Oh 943 00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:38.639 yeah, I used to have the diorama of Krusty Burger. We bought that 944 00:59:38.719 --> 00:59:43.360 in New York when Dad took Mom and I had the Krusty Burger one. 945 00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:46.960 And this is so obscure. I remember when Red Rooster did their kids meals 946 00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:50.519 and they had the Simpsons. You collect them and put them on the couch. 947 00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:52.960 Do look over there, you see it? No, don't tell me. 948 00:59:53.519 --> 01:00:00.159 Oh my god, I've got the Red Rooster box as well, you 949 01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:05.039 magnificent bastard. That is amazing. I've got three of the boxes still pushed 950 01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:07.639 out that it is flat, flat packed. Wow, that is impressive, 951 01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:12.719 because no one goes to Red Rooster anymore. No one really went to Red 952 01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:15.559 Rooster in the first place. I remember there were like maybe five times in 953 01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:17.000 my life, and every time it was always really slow, so we never 954 01:00:17.039 --> 01:00:21.280 went back. But I remember the rooster rolls were always delicious, just the 955 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:23.800 chicken rolls. And I found this coupon box. We've gone through the garage. 956 01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:27.000 We're cleaning out the garage the other day, and I found this box 957 01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:30.000 of coupons that I just know I didn't keep them old coupons, and it 958 01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:35.239 was Red Rooster and it was two rooster rolls for five dollars, and I 959 01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:37.000 was like, what a time to be alive? That was. It's like 960 01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:42.880 moon Bige, just like we don't get that anymore. We found I found 961 01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:45.199 Hungry Jacks bouches as well, and it was two whoppers for three dollars. 962 01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:50.920 Can you imagine two whoppers for three dollars? Oh, it's a bargain, 963 01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:53.079 I know, right, And I have great memories of name. We'd always 964 01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:57.440 we'd go to her house on school holidays and that meant we'd go to Hungry 965 01:00:57.519 --> 01:00:59.760 Jacks. So we'd always get the two for three dollars. What would be 966 01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:01.679 to walk down Hungry Jackson? Nan? So whatever I see Hunger Jackson to 967 01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:07.239 think of school holidays Nan space oh Man, Yeah, that that's that's prime 968 01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:12.519 like childhood memory. And then like the six week school holidays that was the 969 01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:15.599 best. But getting back to those figures from Red Rooster, I feel like 970 01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:20.079 in Australian I've only learned this recently. Australia had a lot of collectibles, 971 01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:22.559 usually assigned to some sort of junk food, but Simpsons collectibles that we could 972 01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:27.199 collect over the time. That's whether it be the Tazo's those things, remember 973 01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:30.119 the little I've got them in here somewhere either over there, the little motion 974 01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:32.159 cards that came in the c ceds. Remember CC's were a thing with the 975 01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:35.880 Simpsons for a while. I lived on CC's when I was a kid, 976 01:01:35.880 --> 01:01:37.599 and I think that's why I was a little bit of a chubber when I 977 01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:42.199 was a kid. And I do remember those those, yeah, particular ones. 978 01:01:42.199 --> 01:01:45.079 I remember they did something similar for when Batman and Robin came out. 979 01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:50.840 They had the plastic kind they had a little film cell. Oh my god, 980 01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:54.880 I love it. You've got an inventory of like my childhood in your 981 01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:59.159 room right there. That's that's amazing. The plans for me on the Nerdaddy 982 01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:01.159 channel is to show all this shit to my son from when I said, 983 01:02:01.159 --> 01:02:02.880 this is when I was a kid, and that's going to be the channel, 984 01:02:02.920 --> 01:02:07.000 just me just get bringing in all the nineties useless shit. Yeah, 985 01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:12.559 yeah, absolutely, I oh god, I do actually want to get the 986 01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:15.480 issue one of radio Active Man and just have that framed, just because it's 987 01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:19.639 such a good looking cover too. It is it really is. Yeah, 988 01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:23.400 I've got my first edition like you've got the other Simpsons comic because the other 989 01:02:23.440 --> 01:02:28.159 side is the divisional Fantastic four covers and of Homer coming out of the ground. 990 01:02:28.199 --> 01:02:30.039 That's the back of it, right. Well, that's the thing I 991 01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:32.280 always got confused with. I'm like, is that the proper issue one or 992 01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:35.880 the one of Homer coming out of the ground? Is that the proper issue 993 01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:37.760 one? Homer coming out of the ground is the issue one? But I 994 01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:39.480 thought the back of the back page of that was that is it? Not? 995 01:02:40.039 --> 01:02:45.840 No? No, this one right here? You want a nostalgia trip 996 01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:49.960 mate, one of my favorite shows of all time, love dinosaurs? Yeah, 997 01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:52.360 yeah, I want to start a podcast on dinosaurs. You should because, 998 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:54.719 like again, it's nostalgia, man. But yeah, this one says 999 01:02:54.760 --> 01:02:59.079 Issue one Special Collectors Edition. But then I see the other one with Homer 1000 01:02:59.119 --> 01:03:00.679 coming out of the ground, Like, which one came first? The one 1001 01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:04.880 Come of the Ground definitely came first, I'm pretty sure, but I could 1002 01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:07.199 be wrong. I always under the assumption it was the first one. But 1003 01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:10.320 who knows. This one has like a really good this one has a really 1004 01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:15.480 good Bartman storyline and it comes with a poster as well, which is really 1005 01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:17.840 cool. But yeah, let's promote your stuff before we before we wrap up. 1006 01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:21.880 So basically, you still do any cosplaying things, So what do you 1007 01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:24.719 putting more energy into these days. So like, I've got a few side 1008 01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:28.360 hustles apart from YouTube, because you can't always rely on YouTube. So I 1009 01:03:28.360 --> 01:03:30.239 have an Etsy store where I sell a lot of my props because I have 1010 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:36.280 silicon molds where I can make resin castings and copies of all these pieces. 1011 01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:37.440 So a lot of them are like, you know, Freddy Krueger busts, 1012 01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:44.480 Michael Meyer's stuff, a few Batman pieces, Hans Moleman. Oh, yes, 1013 01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:49.320 so Hans Moleman. So I sculpted a hyper realistic bust of Hans Moleman 1014 01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:51.960 back in twenty seventeen. I've still got the mold for it. I actually 1015 01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:57.360 want to recast it in translucent flesh tinted resin, do all the things. 1016 01:03:57.440 --> 01:04:01.679 I add all the wispy hairs one by one. The eyes are custom made 1017 01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:05.760 and they're all blood shot and just disgusting. But I actually want to get 1018 01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:11.920 like a child sized mannequin and sculpt Hans's body and make a full statue of 1019 01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:15.679 Hans with a little sad daffodil. And yeah, I sculpted that, and 1020 01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:19.280 I was actually really proud of that one. It got a lot of attention 1021 01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:23.639 and a lot of people were just like, what the fuck is that thing? 1022 01:04:23.719 --> 01:04:26.679 And I'm like, it's Hans more Man. I'm like, I want 1023 01:04:26.719 --> 01:04:30.199 to like spray something on it that makes it smell like a peanut. Yeah, 1024 01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:32.840 so yeah I did that, Like you know, the Big Les Show. 1025 01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:36.159 I sculpted Sassy years ago, and I've still got the mold for that. 1026 01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:40.559 And I showed Jared I forget he surnamed the creator, and he's like, 1027 01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:43.039 mate, that's so cool. So I got the thumbs up from him. 1028 01:04:43.079 --> 01:04:46.480 So I sculpt a lot of like obscure background characters. I love doing 1029 01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:51.239 stuff like that, but mostly it's been like horror Batman stuff. So but 1030 01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:55.000 also now I've got the second channel just called Chris Stanley, where I just 1031 01:04:55.039 --> 01:04:58.679 do like movie reviews, collectible reviews. Like so this is really nerdy, 1032 01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:02.000 but yes this morning put up an unboxing video. So this right here is 1033 01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:10.119 a vintage knife and this is actually the knife they used on the original Freddy 1034 01:05:10.199 --> 01:05:13.639 Krueger glove. So they actually used tomato knives that were made in like the 1035 01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:16.239 sixties, seventies and eighties, so originally it's like that, and then they 1036 01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:19.880 took the handle off, turned it upside down, and I found one in 1037 01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:25.199 Mint condition. So I did an unboxing video that people respond well to that 1038 01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:27.719 on the second channel because I do a lot of horror and like a lot 1039 01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:30.840 of prop stuff as well, so cosplay, Chris, I keep it build 1040 01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:35.440 stuff and costume stuff like if I'm wearing something. But the second channel, 1041 01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:39.960 which I do a lot more frequent uploads because you know, there's always movie 1042 01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:45.519 news, movies to review stuff like that, So putting a lot of effort 1043 01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:47.719 into the second channel just to get the momentum going, because it's hard man, 1044 01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:53.360 Like you know how it is just to keep fresh, keep ideas fresh, 1045 01:05:53.559 --> 01:05:58.199 but also grow that audience. Well everyone's just doing it now, which 1046 01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:00.920 makes us just so hard to stand out. I've had this discussion with Guy 1047 01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:05.400 the other day about rewatch podcasts and how it used to be so easy to 1048 01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:11.360 start to rewatch podcasts, but now every person who starred in the show is 1049 01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:14.159 now doing a rewatch podcast of the show that we're in, and they're just 1050 01:06:14.239 --> 01:06:17.599 stealing all the attention. It's like, let us have something please. Yeah. 1051 01:06:17.960 --> 01:06:20.719 Yeah, And I've kind of like thought of it. I'm like, 1052 01:06:20.840 --> 01:06:25.000 maybe I should go back and like revisit stuff for stuff like that, but 1053 01:06:25.119 --> 01:06:28.199 yeah, you it just people just do that, and it just they get 1054 01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:30.480 the views and everything, and look, it shouldn't always be about the views, 1055 01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:33.679 but when you put in all that work and effort, it definitely does 1056 01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:36.840 help. Oh that the views matter, because that's how you get press junkets, 1057 01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:41.159 that's how you get all expenses paid trips mate the views. Yeah, 1058 01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:45.119 yeah, that's it. That's it. So yeah. Look, I've definitely 1059 01:06:45.159 --> 01:06:49.000 had some great opportunities from the cosplay world as well. I've been fortunate enough 1060 01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:53.559 to work in the States, the Middle East, of all places cosplaying, 1061 01:06:53.599 --> 01:06:57.719 which is crazy. Do you find it's a different audience with the two different 1062 01:06:57.760 --> 01:06:59.880 channels or do you think a lot of them have sort of come over you 1063 01:07:00.039 --> 01:07:03.280 Are you finding new fans through your second channel. I'm finding new fans through 1064 01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:08.320 the second channel absolutely. Like when I announced on the main channel that I 1065 01:07:08.559 --> 01:07:12.199 started the second channel a year ago, actually, you know, a few 1066 01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.760 sifted over, but others just stayed for the cosplay stuff, which is fair. 1067 01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:20.599 And I feel like if I continued that and uploading movie reviews cosplay stuff 1068 01:07:20.599 --> 01:07:24.840 in the one channel, it gets confusing for your audience, like what are 1069 01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:28.719 you doing? Whereas if you're doing all talking stuff movie related stuff, then 1070 01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:32.360 people know what they're subscribing to, so I think that again, I should 1071 01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:34.880 have done it years ago, but you know, better late than never. 1072 01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:39.679 So yeah, how hard is it to get people because you've got three hundred 1073 01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:42.519 and seventy five thousand subscribers to think on your main channel? Is that right 1074 01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:45.320 something around there? How hard is it to get even ten percent of them 1075 01:07:45.400 --> 01:07:48.119 to come over to a new channel. It's hard, man Like, it's 1076 01:07:48.159 --> 01:07:51.079 really hard. And you've also got to be at the mindset. Some people 1077 01:07:51.119 --> 01:07:54.199 are going to just be like this isn't for me, and you're like, 1078 01:07:54.360 --> 01:07:58.440 yeah, fair enough. But then that's when you build up that new audience 1079 01:07:58.519 --> 01:08:01.280 that are there because they know exactly what they're getting, and you know they'll 1080 01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:06.000 you know, watch most of the videos that you upload each and every time, 1081 01:08:06.119 --> 01:08:09.800 so it's good and you know, you build a good little community. 1082 01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:14.480 You know, you have your people that always comment, and then you get 1083 01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:15.520 newcomers. They'll be like, hey, man, I just subscribe today. 1084 01:08:15.600 --> 01:08:19.520 Good stuff, you know, greetings from Canada or Portugal or Brazil, and 1085 01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:23.199 you're like that's awesome, man, like, welcome, that's very very cool. 1086 01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:26.640 So you never know, like what the algorithm is going to bring you 1087 01:08:26.760 --> 01:08:30.079 and then there are those videos that you don't put any effort into and it 1088 01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:33.159 does so well, and then you do a banger of a video where you 1089 01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:36.960 put your heart and soul into it and it gets bugger all views and you're 1090 01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:40.800 like, I don't know what's going on. What's good? Is new? 1091 01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:44.079 Do you have a second guess yourself? Oh? All the time. All 1092 01:08:44.239 --> 01:08:47.239 the time. I second guess myself. I compare myself and I saw a 1093 01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:49.199 quote a few months ago. I'm like, man, I got to keep 1094 01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:54.319 remembering that. Don't compare your five months journey to someone's five year journey. 1095 01:08:55.960 --> 01:08:58.399 So yeah, there are some people on YouTube that are friends of mine and 1096 01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:00.960 I'm like, man, they just have to fart on camera and it just 1097 01:09:01.199 --> 01:09:04.880 explodes, like it just and but you're also like, they've been doing that 1098 01:09:05.039 --> 01:09:10.960 channel for quite a long time, so it's and again like it's it's a 1099 01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:14.119 lot of effort, a lot of effort, man, thinking on your feet, 1100 01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:16.960 coming up with fresh ideas. But I love it. I love doing 1101 01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:23.479 the second channel because I feel like there's a lot more that I can do. 1102 01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:27.800 Whereas opposed to doing a cosplay build or like a custom collectible, it's 1103 01:09:27.880 --> 01:09:30.800 expensive, it's very expensive to do. It's a big edit and that's why 1104 01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:33.560 when I announced a second channel, I said things are probably going to be 1105 01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:39.760 spaced out more on the main channel now because like my last one was a 1106 01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:43.199 Batman custom collectible from a month and a bit ago, but we're about to 1107 01:09:43.199 --> 01:09:45.039 put a Superman one up, so you know, as long as you're transparent 1108 01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:47.000 with your audience, it's like, guys, obviously that's not going to be 1109 01:09:47.039 --> 01:09:51.520 as frequent, but I'm still doing cosplay stuff in the background, but obviously 1110 01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:59.039 want to work more on reviewing movies, entertainment news and doing press junkets and 1111 01:09:59.079 --> 01:10:01.359 stuff like that. I love doing that. Like that trip to New York 1112 01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:08.319 that we were talking about last month was great, and yeah, it definitely 1113 01:10:08.399 --> 01:10:12.399 builds up your confidence, your people's skills and stuff like that. And reviewing 1114 01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:15.000 film is hard. A lot of people look at it and be like, 1115 01:10:15.039 --> 01:10:16.159 you've got to sit there and talk about a movie. I'm like, it's 1116 01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:19.520 actually it can be hard, especially trying to get all your thoughts and feelings 1117 01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:23.720 out without having to edit the video and be like, damn, I should 1118 01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:27.720 have said this, should have said that, and also not being afraid to 1119 01:10:27.880 --> 01:10:31.119 have an opinion. That's against everyone else's. Like when everyone's in a certain 1120 01:10:31.720 --> 01:10:34.880 mindset of how good or bad a film is and yours might be different, 1121 01:10:35.239 --> 01:10:40.680 you get scared to upload that video in fear of backlash. But that's when 1122 01:10:40.680 --> 01:10:43.119 you've got to be like, man, if someone has something bad to say, 1123 01:10:43.399 --> 01:10:46.079 they're the one with the problem. Usually someone would just be like, 1124 01:10:46.359 --> 01:10:48.960 oh, man, that sucks. You didn't enjoy it. Hopefully we can 1125 01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:51.399 agree on it next time. I'm like, man, if everyone was like, 1126 01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:57.000 YouTube would be an easier place to be on. And some people are 1127 01:10:57.119 --> 01:11:00.920 just like, I'm unsubscribing your fuck. I don't agree, And I'm like, 1128 01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:05.760 announcing your unsubscribing is like a Karen announcing you just lost the customer. 1129 01:11:06.840 --> 01:11:12.760 I can't go on our iTunes reviews because we've got like thousands of five star 1130 01:11:12.840 --> 01:11:15.159 reviews on there, but occasionally people on to check at one start and there'll 1131 01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:18.279 be something like, been listening to this show for years and now there's ads 1132 01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:21.079 on there. I'm not listening to ads, And I'm thinking, so, 1133 01:11:21.119 --> 01:11:25.920 I've given you years of free entertainment, but you don't want to have to 1134 01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:28.720 but you don't have to pay for Yeah, if you want this show to 1135 01:11:28.960 --> 01:11:31.119 continue going we need to put some ads in so that I can survive financially. 1136 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:34.600 Yeah, how dare you? How dare you? I'm unsubscribing? What 1137 01:11:34.840 --> 01:11:41.439 what? Yeah? Exactly like or like you do like a sixty second integrated 1138 01:11:42.119 --> 01:11:45.439 ad on a YouTube video and people lose their minds. I'm like, sorry 1139 01:11:45.439 --> 01:11:47.479 if I'm just trying to earn an extra bit of quid, because it's very 1140 01:11:47.560 --> 01:11:51.560 hard and temperamental being on YouTube. Yeah, are you earning a living through 1141 01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:54.680 this? Now? Is this your job? Ah? It is? But 1142 01:11:54.800 --> 01:11:58.359 not only YouTube, man. I could not rely on YouTube obviously because things 1143 01:11:58.399 --> 01:12:00.000 are more spread out on the main channel, so that revenue goes down there. 1144 01:12:00.600 --> 01:12:04.079 Revenue did build up a bit on the second channel, and then it 1145 01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:06.319 kind of tape it a bit. But again, you've got to keep the 1146 01:12:06.359 --> 01:12:11.279 momentum going, build up the subscribers, and then you know, eventually the 1147 01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:17.119 regular views definitely do come. But obviously I've got Etsy, my Etsy store, 1148 01:12:17.159 --> 01:12:23.359 and then campaigns like social media campaigns, stuff like that. In July, 1149 01:12:23.760 --> 01:12:27.760 I'm going up to Warner Brothers Movie World to do a talk on batsuits, 1150 01:12:27.800 --> 01:12:30.520 which will be fun. So you know, that's a nice little bit 1151 01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:33.119 of pocket money, and you know, I'm in my element. But there 1152 01:12:33.159 --> 01:12:40.119 are a lot of times when studios pr companies kind of try to take advantage 1153 01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:42.600 of, like not just maybe like other creators and they're like, hey, 1154 01:12:43.079 --> 01:12:45.159 we'll send you this if you do this for free, and I'm like, 1155 01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:48.399 no, I don't want that product. No, So it's like but also 1156 01:12:48.560 --> 01:12:53.680 like, you know, that is a cool product, But at the end 1157 01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:57.319 of the day, like I'm putting effort into this and I need it'd be 1158 01:12:57.439 --> 01:13:01.119 nice to get compensated financially because I could be focusing my energy somewhere else where 1159 01:13:01.960 --> 01:13:08.640 there is a compensation involved or earning something from it. And unfortunately, a 1160 01:13:08.760 --> 01:13:14.439 lot of new creators or novice creators that are still fresh to doing campaigns unfortunately 1161 01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:17.520 get taken advantage of. And it sucks because there are some talented people out 1162 01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:20.960 there, you know, building stuff or you know, doing tutorials or you 1163 01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:25.960 know even you know, make up tutorials and stuff like that, like really 1164 01:13:26.039 --> 01:13:30.640 talented people, and they unfortunately just get taken advantage of sometimes because they think, 1165 01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:32.239 oh, it's X, Y and Z, which is a big studio, 1166 01:13:32.680 --> 01:13:35.680 I'm working with them, Da da da, and they'll just keep they'll 1167 01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:39.680 keep pushing and pushing the friendship. So yeah, you've got to kind of 1168 01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:43.479 have your wits about you. I find too, when you're a content creator, 1169 01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:45.279 when you align yourself with a brand, I just suppose have a Disney 1170 01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:49.000 where we've worked with Disney before because they have the Simpsons on Disney Plus and 1171 01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:53.720 things like that. Now, when you're a content creator that relies on support 1172 01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:57.560 from your listeners on Patreon and things like that, when you align yourself with 1173 01:13:57.640 --> 01:14:00.000 big brands like Disney, a lot of people just assume they must be making 1174 01:14:00.039 --> 01:14:03.399 money. Then if Disney's working with them, that's not the case. Disney 1175 01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:06.880 might chuck you some money or send you some a free subscription to Disney Plus 1176 01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:11.039 or something. But just because you're aligned with the big brand doesn't mean that 1177 01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:13.880 you shouldn't support these guys because they're probably still doing it tough. Yeah. 1178 01:14:14.119 --> 01:14:17.199 Absolutely, And sometimes it can be the biggest studios that are the biggest tied 1179 01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:20.840 asses and it's not a dig it's just facts. That's just how it is 1180 01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:28.800 sometimes. And then you have other studios that aren't as not well established but 1181 01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:34.039 not as bigger or popular, and they're just like name your price. I'm 1182 01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:38.720 like, wow, that's really refreshing, and they give you creative freedom. 1183 01:14:38.960 --> 01:14:41.079 They're like, we want you to have your own voice. It's got to 1184 01:14:41.119 --> 01:14:43.399 be you. We don't want to give you a script, but obviously, 1185 01:14:43.479 --> 01:14:45.239 like if you want to type something up, shoot it to us and just 1186 01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:48.760 make sure you're hitting all the right talking points. But you've got to make 1187 01:14:48.800 --> 01:14:51.760 sure it's all about you, otherwise your audience will see straight through and be 1188 01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:56.119 like, what are you doing your shill When it comes to editing your videos. 1189 01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:00.880 See I hate the cliche editing of many YouTube videos of logs where it's 1190 01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:04.520 the quick cutaways, the zoom and the zoom outs they're random, and then 1191 01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:09.039 cutting back to you talking normally. How are you with that? Because I 1192 01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:12.239 just can't see myself ever bringing myself to doing that, even though I know 1193 01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:15.960 that's exactly what the algorithm wants. I just don't think I could ever do 1194 01:15:15.039 --> 01:15:19.479 it. How are you with that? I try and keep it as real 1195 01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:23.760 as possible, like I always try and just be me, Like, obviously 1196 01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:29.039 there is a bit of heightened energy, but I want people to get excited 1197 01:15:29.399 --> 01:15:31.319 or just have a good time watching my videos, and if they get a 1198 01:15:31.399 --> 01:15:34.199 laugh out of it, that's alsome. I always try and be goofy self, 1199 01:15:34.239 --> 01:15:38.840 deprecating, humor, all that all for that, Like, I love 1200 01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:43.439 making people laugh. I think that's the best feeling in the world in terms 1201 01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:46.520 of like you know, when like someone does a vlog and they put their 1202 01:15:46.600 --> 01:15:49.640 hand over the lens and then it cuts to something else, I'm like, 1203 01:15:49.720 --> 01:15:55.239 ah, that's not really me. I try and keep it as real as 1204 01:15:55.279 --> 01:15:59.760 possible, but I get a bit like my my brain's got so much going 1205 01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:00.920 on, and then it kind of trips over my words. So I do 1206 01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:03.479 fumble a lot. So I do have a lot of jump cuts, especially 1207 01:16:03.479 --> 01:16:10.079 with like a movie review. I do sometimes stutter, so like, you 1208 01:16:10.119 --> 01:16:13.800 know, thank God for jump cuts. So I like with editing, I 1209 01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:16.960 try and keep it as real as possible. Like when I unbox that knife 1210 01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:21.960 yesterday, I try and try to keep it as raw as possible because there's 1211 01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:26.079 a big deal for me. I've been after this knife for fourteen years and 1212 01:16:26.119 --> 01:16:28.880 it's all like come to this. I try to, you know, just 1213 01:16:28.960 --> 01:16:34.159 try and like maintain my excitement but also just be professional, but like keep 1214 01:16:34.199 --> 01:16:36.840 it real. Like when you're unboxing this thing, people want to be in 1215 01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:42.079 there be as if like they're they're there they're amongst it, they're involved. 1216 01:16:43.479 --> 01:16:45.000 But yeah, with I did some vlogging in New York. Again, try 1217 01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:47.199 to keep it as real as possible and try and keep it funny as well. 1218 01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:51.119 Like I do so many Simpson references in my videos. It's not funny 1219 01:16:51.359 --> 01:16:55.359 and I rely on a lot of Simpson references. And some people with the 1220 01:16:55.359 --> 01:16:58.600 comments will be like, that was very good. I'll do a cutaway to 1221 01:16:58.720 --> 01:17:03.359 a clip, or like if a film's bad, I'll be like, you 1222 01:17:03.439 --> 01:17:05.760 know, these are my thoughts, and then it cuts to crusty and he's 1223 01:17:05.800 --> 01:17:11.359 like, what the hell is that? Just stuff like that. I felt 1224 01:17:11.359 --> 01:17:14.239 the Simpsons is one of those things that if you grew up in the nineties, 1225 01:17:14.920 --> 01:17:15.880 you'll always be able to find a friend. If you're a fan of 1226 01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:19.079 the Simpsons, you'll always have a Simpsons moment that you can sort of bond 1227 01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:25.720 over one hundred percent man and like because of these groups on Facebook like Yours, 1228 01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:31.279 rock Bottom, Compy, Hypoglobal, MegaNet Obscure, there's Obscure Simpsons moments 1229 01:17:31.279 --> 01:17:39.159 stuff like that. It's crazy how many people out there have really just relished 1230 01:17:41.039 --> 01:17:45.199 the Golden Era and everything and just how beloved and how protected it is it 1231 01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:49.199 is crazy and like people you wouldn't expect as well, like people you'd be 1232 01:17:49.279 --> 01:17:53.439 like, you look like a lawyer, and then they'll start quoting like Season 1233 01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:57.079 six back to front. You're like, did not pick that, not at 1234 01:17:57.119 --> 01:17:59.359 all? No, all right, man, Well, it's been a joy 1235 01:17:59.399 --> 01:18:00.960 to have you on. Let's plug it your Etsy store before you go, 1236 01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:04.920 and we find you on Etsy. So it's just called props by Chris on 1237 01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:08.720 Etsy. And you know there's a bit of horror stuff, a bit of 1238 01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:12.640 comic book relay stuff like Batman stuff, stuff like that YouTube. The main 1239 01:18:12.720 --> 01:18:15.640 channel is Cosplay Chris a little bit slow there at the moment, like the 1240 01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:18.199 uploads are spread out a lot more. But the second channel, which has 1241 01:18:18.359 --> 01:18:24.159 more frequent uploads, is just called Chris Stanley And you'll see my melon in 1242 01:18:24.279 --> 01:18:29.159 the thumbnail little avatar logo there. But yeah, man, thank you for 1243 01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:30.840 having me on. Like I said, I'm actually like a really big fan 1244 01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:35.399 of you, and guy kept me company on my plane ride home from New 1245 01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:40.880 York last month, so it was actually really good to see a few good 1246 01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:43.800 laughs on the plane by myself. So I probably looked like a crazy person. 1247 01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:45.680 What's been love to have you on, mate, And hopefully we have 1248 01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:48.279 you on the show again in the near future.
