Well, all three of them are 26 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.280 in the wash. Bob Davis, Yes, was indeed my father. 27 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.040 Oh I had good that mate. You wouldn't have had 28 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.840 to pay for a meal at Smorgy's. That he's really impressive. 29 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.959 Well I didn't because I was dined and dashed. 30 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.799 But trying to explain the idea of Smorgy's to anyone 31 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.319 who didn't live in Gelon, I think they happened in 32 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.280 Melbourne maybe, but I don't think they had the Seal. 33 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.439 We had Salted the Seal and King Neptune, these animatronic 34 00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.040 things that would sing songs every half an hour. They 35 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.519 had a video package of ariblet scene You're playing football. 36 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:02.840 It's madness. 37 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.879 Yeah for anyone listening. And I know that your podcast 38 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.039 goes international. Small geese isn't all you can eat, but 39 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.039 kind of like a sizzler. But it was at the 40 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.080 end of a peer because Geelong's on a bay, so 41 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.120 it had this unbelievable view just with Bay Marese full 42 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.159 of fried food and shit. Food combined with, as you said, 43 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.000 an animatronic seal that would do songs about our Australian 44 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.520 rules footballer favorite player in Geelong, Gary Ablett. So it 45 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.319 was really a melting pot of regrettable decisions. 46 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.639 Really, my sister works at this place because her place 47 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.840 of business her business. But the guy that owned it, 48 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.319 he found the actual salt of the seal. They found 49 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.400 it in this shed and he had it in like 50 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:48.960 in the office as a display and people were coming 51 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.639 from all over Geelan to get a photo of the 52 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.240 salted the seal. Its hilarious. 53 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:53.319 Is he still got it? 54 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.639 No? So the guy that owned it, this guy found 55 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.120 it in a shed at like there used to be 56 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.000 the zoo and bow and heads here and again local 57 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.000 reference and they were like holding it hostage in the shed. 58 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.039 He bought it off them. So now he owned salted 59 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.520 the seal and he rents it out to businesses. So 60 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.560 my sisters when my sister works, doesn't have it anymore. 61 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.479 But you can actually rent assaulting. Now rent salty the seal. 62 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:12.719 Haven't met your work party. 63 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.919 That's the gift that keeps on giving. That is incredible. 64 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.960 I now know what's going to happen in my next birthday. 65 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:18.840 I just love that Discovery sounds like Bobo. 66 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.879 You mentioned things that keep on giving this episode Rose Bud. 67 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.879 I revisited again last night for this review. Holy shit, 68 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.439 I forgot how many pivotal moments, like classic moments from 69 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.560 The Simpsons were in this one.

So many moments in one episode. 73 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.840 It's incredible. People always call this one arguably the greatest 74 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.800 of all time, and it's hard to argue that it's 75 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.000 got to be at least top three. 76 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:51.960 It's also funny that it was only when I got 77 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.840 older but I realized it was a Citizen Kane rip 78 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.159 off that was the parody, and I'm yet to see 79 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.319 Citizen Kine. I was like, Oh, you're right, and then like, oh, 80 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.439 I kind of got the gist of it. 81 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.280 I get it how many of us growing up watching 82 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.680 The Simpsons and know no parenting Things like the shitting 83 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.599 is one I always fall back on.

You'd rather go 193 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.840 through the front wind chill with those namby panby seatbelts. 194 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.840 It's like that trou McClue video Alice through the Windshiel. 195 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.039 But we're here. Let's plug your your coming to us. So, 196 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.159 Dave Thoughton, localmedian, you've got your to a more or 197 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.120 less let's talk about it. I think it starts early March, 198 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:47.080 correct in Adelaide. 199 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.480 That is right, guys, I'm just about to recording of this. Yes, 200 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.720 in a couple of weeks. I'll be starting in Adelaide 201 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.480 and then going to all the major cities. We've got 202 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.360 Melbourne here for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, I got Sydney, Brisbane, 203 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.919 per I'm also a Newcastle and Gold Coast so yeah, 204 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.039 the tour all kicks off and brand new show so 205 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.240 if people want to come down, that'd be great. And 206 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.960 the last show that I did, actually it's on YouTube 207 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.440 right now. I did film it. It kind of ties 208 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.120 into what we're talking about because the last show was 209 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.879 called Nothing's Unpossible, which is an end of the cat 210 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.720 to Ralph Wigham when he gets caught up on stage 211 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.120 by Principal Skinner. He said his faith and he goes, 212 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.159 me fail English, that's unpassable. So that's how much the 213 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:30.399 Simpsons are Imbauedy in my life. 214 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.240 And we keep referring to Dave as a local commedian 215 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.720 because you know, we're very proud of you know, Geelong. 216 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.440 If anyone makes it from Geelong, you're proud of it. 217 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.840 Oh yeah, stuck with it. But David is a national 218 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.279 and international game. 219 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:43.840 Yeah, I mean, oh thanks. 220 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.240 The stage is all over the world, yes too. 221 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.080 I mean not as much now, my little handbroke children 222 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.440 for they said to stop the international touring, but now 223 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.960 touring all throughout Australia. And well, I actually live in 224 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.720 Melbourne now, I live up a bit, but I still 225 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.399 head down at too long all the time. And as 226 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.440 we said, go for the cats. 227 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.399 So you named your special unpossible. Does the Simpsons still 228 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.919 have an impact on the comedy scene now on comedians 229 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:08.399 of today? 230 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.879 I think it's really an age thing. I mean I 231 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.279 still use the odd Simpsons reference. I mean I did 232 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.039 it to my kids on me recently. Actually, this is 233 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.840 why I love that we're doing this podcast, because I 234 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:25.000 strangely about October last year, started playing Simpsons reruns to 235 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.519 my kids, just because I think I said to one 236 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.000 of them, look, I was born a snake handler. I'm 237 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.039 going to die a snake handler. And my kids went 238 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:39.799 story what and that's my cis lack And they're like, 239 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.080 I don't know what you're talking about. And then we 240 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.279 started watching the Simpsons. So it's really strange that now 241 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.440 a couple of months later, when I haven't really been 242 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.440 watching the Simpsons for years, I got really back into 243 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.799 it and I got the eery feeling with Simpsons references 244 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.840 to answer your question, Dano, I probably people of my age. 245 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.360 You know, you can be in a green room and 246 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.120 stand up and drop a reference like evidence coming up Millbouse, 247 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.759 and then watch a couple of guys lighting up. But 248 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.279 anyone for I'm trying to think maybe under thirty, it's 249 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.000 kind of lost, like family guy in South Park got them, but. 250 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:13.600 You're making me feel old under thirty. 251 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.559 But it really is that kind of secret handshake though. 252 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.519 I mean, if you are dropping certain lines, I mean 253 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.919 not even for comic effect, but it just becomes part 254 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.759 of your everyday vocab. I mean, I don't know how 255 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.600 many times we've talked about how, yeah you've got yours. 256 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.879 I've got mine. 257 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.639 I mean, I'll go to the supermarket or whatever, and 258 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.480 you check if you're actually in the right parking spot. Yeah, 259 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.480 you look at I'm in the lines. You don't like it, 260 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:36.480 go tell your mama. 261 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:41.240 You know, or you see a variant of a thing limited, No, exactly. 262 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.360 It's even these obscure references. Like we've got a lot 263 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.840 of people in stand up and I can understand it's 264 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.279 a broad church and we were just having this conversation 265 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.679 about like ADHD, which is a big thing now and 266 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.080 it's great that people are getting diagnosed, but of course, mates, 267 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:59.039 they have to take some times whatever medicine that they're on. 268 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.120 And a reference that thing from the episode where they 269 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.440 go into the well. The fortune Teller goes into the 270 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.200 future and tells a Lita what her first almost marriage 271 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.919 was like. And when she goes and visits the in 272 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.039 laws over in England, they've got that uncle in the 273 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.759 corner and he goes, get me brain medicine for the 274 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.799 National health. 275 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.799 You're going to go with, give her this, then this 276 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.159 and then these. I'm thanks doctor. Oh I'm not a doctor. 277 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:30.200 See this is all great. 278 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.320 Yeah, but it seems to me that, yeah, people our 279 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.840 of a certain generation, shall we say, because I mean 280 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.000 looking at Dave. 281 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.519 Here, I mean you look, he's younger than me. Yeah, 282 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:41.799 he's got the he's got the you. 283 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.519 Know, fresh faced looks of a thirty five year old, 284 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.080 even though he's sort of he's close to guy Davis age, 285 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.879 which makes him damn fossil. Watching the Symptons on the 286 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.480 regulars as a young person, I mean it kind of 287 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.960 forms your comic sensibility away, or at least teaches you 288 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.480 the fundamentals of comedy and certain in terms of in 289 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:02.639 terms of comic delivering, in terms of timing all that 290 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.200 kind of stuff. Am I at all correct in thinking 291 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.159 that no. 292 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.679 Guy spot on it's knowing that I was coming on 293 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.320 this podcast. This made me reflect upon the Simpsons in 294 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.879 my life, and I almost couldn't be more on the 295 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.799 crosshairs in that you guys would know better than me. 296 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.519 I think it aired in ninety one, is that's right 297 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.919 in Australia? And then yeah, yeah, and I was eleven 298 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.960 years old, and so it focused on Bart and then 299 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.200 that got me in. I remember those early seasons they're 300 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.799 selling merch and they're really angling it towards kids, and 301 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.200 you know, all those t shirts are Bart saying don't 302 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.840 have a cow man or whatever it was. And so 303 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:40.600 it got me in. But then it matured as I matured. 304 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.120 So by the time we're getting to season four, season five, 305 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:47.279 which is where Rosebud's on, I'm fifteen sixteen, and so 306 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.879 you just locked in as a young man, like it's 307 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:55.039 just you're watching it. I was that kidlucking at school 308 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.039 all week that's quoting it as the arts teachers, like 309 00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:59.559 you just need to shut up right. 310 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:03.679 Now and you just need to take your brain medication. 311 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:05.799 Yeah ha hack. 312 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.120 She goes, No, that's that's enough. That is enough, and 313 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.639 so rewatching it now as an adult, especially after becoming 314 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:17.360 a comic, You're right that it is just riding one 315 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.840 oh one, Like it's so punchy, it comes out of 316 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:23.679 the gates punchy. There are times when they're constantly undercutting 317 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:27.600 a trope and making and just even the subtlety of 318 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.200 the jokes. I mean in this Rosebud, which happens to 319 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.639 a lot of episodes, that storyline of just Smithers being 320 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.519 smitten with Monty Burns. And when I was even in 321 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.799 my mid teens and it could maybe speak to my naivety, 322 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.080 I was like, oh, yeah, Smith's just really loves his boss. 323 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.600 And it's like when I'm now in my mid forties, 324 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.559 I'm like, oh, right, like. 325 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.720 This he loves his boss. 326 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:52.559 But they didn't. 327 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.399 But but most of the time they didn't do it 328 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.799 in a way that where he was a punchline. As 329 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.679 a result, it was just you know, you watch this 330 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.320 very easily double as a kid and go you just 331 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:02.919 like mister Burns a lot, Yeah, I. 332 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:05.080 Mean, and then it made me laugh in this episode 333 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.279 is you talked about sixty four slices of American cheese, 334 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.360 you know, when they first tried to get into the house. Yeah, 335 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.279 and they slide down the rope and meet in the 336 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.600 middle because there's just not it doesn't go downhill, so 337 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.679 they just hanging there when Burns hit Smither's here and 338 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:27.600 go oh, it's beautiful. Norms of a man who's like, oh, well, 339 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.480 he could work out the plan worked out. 340 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:32.759 It's always like Smither's planned it to happen this way. 341 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.639 Yes, yeah, Harry Shirts is having an affluent field day. 342 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:37.120 Yeah. 343 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.879 Yeah, the line reads in this episode, by the way, 344 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.000 I mean just yeah. The spin he puts on some 345 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.360 of this stuff was like tug on my furrow, leave 346 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:46.360 the costume. 347 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.720 A little bit at the end, and leave the costume. 348 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:51.799 Oh maybe laugh. 349 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.320 Well, So, what are your earliest memories of The Simpsons. 350 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.240 You're saying you're eleven? Bar of Mania? Was it running 351 00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.120 wild and show? It was huge in the States, But 352 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.559 I feel like by the time Australia got the Simpsons, 353 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.840 the whole barta Mania fat had kind of already died 354 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:04.720 down in the US. 355 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.480 It really did for well for when well, I was 356 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.039 growing up, like at the age that I was, all 357 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.200 the kids this is grade six, grade five, grade six 358 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.559 in primary school, and all the kids are obsessed with it. 359 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.440 I mean, if you think I spoke about Warner Brothers 360 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:25.480 cartoons earlier, that was the only adult ish cartoon I've 361 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.399 ever seen in my life. Like some of the jokes 362 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.120 were kind of skewed to adults, but that's it. Everything 363 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.919 else was children's cartoons. And my dad, I do remember 364 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.039 when I first watched The Simpsons was like, what's this. 365 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.399 It's badly drawn cartoons. It's shit. I don't want to 366 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.639 know about it. And then, I mean, my father was 367 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.919 also a kind of he was a bald, kind of 368 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.080 heavy set guy, and I think after all. 369 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.039 The strain in the eighties. 370 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:55.000 Yeah, and Homer Simpson sounds like an absolute legend he was, 371 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.399 and I guy, yeah, and so to no, I'm surprised 372 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:01.759 Homer Simpson and George Castanza came is the pinup for it, 373 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.319 And then yeah, it morphed into that. So I mean 374 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.640 it was pretty big, I think. And again, like when 375 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.759 it was early, it was targeted squarely at a kid 376 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.720 my age, and then it was fascinating to watch this 377 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:17.839 thing turn into adult entertainment. 378 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.240 Did you watch it once it went beyond being like 379 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.880 the show to watch for kids, because I remember I 380 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:24.400 was born in eighty eight, so I was about six 381 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:26.359 or seven when I was really at its peak. And 382 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.079 then sort of South Park came around, and that was 383 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.039 sort of the more risky comedy animator show, and my 384 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.519 friends sort of gravitated towards that and Family Guy, but 385 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:35.519 I still stuck with The Simpsons for the most part, 386 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:37.480 where I feel like I was sort of the only 387 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:39.559 one left of my friends watching the Simpsons. Did you 388 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.759 ever get to that point on did you jump ship 389 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.640 to south Park? And those likes as well? 390 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:46.799 South Park was great and it still is great. I 391 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:50.319 think south Park funnily enough, I talked about The Simpsons 392 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:55.680 maturing into I think very clever comedy. I think South 393 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:57.880 Park has kind of done the same, but over a 394 00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:59.799 longer period. Like when it first started, it was pretty 395 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.279 black force comedy, like it was kids being pretty crook, 396 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.480 and therein lies the juxtaposition of these kids who were 397 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.640 just foul mouthed and you know, Eric Cartman was just 398 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.119 causing trouble all the time, and it was it was funny, 399 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:14.640 but it was it was a feeling blund force instrument. 400 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.480 When I thought Simpsons at the same time was a 401 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.200 much more nuanced comedy. And I mean, I know we're 402 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.000 getting into the weeds here, but I do think South 403 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.559 Park of late has become political commentary, and because of 404 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.920 its quick turnaround, is able to lampoon things that are 405 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.400 happening in the press and the zeitgeist. I think that's 406 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.640 its real strength. But at the time it was when 407 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.440 it first came out, it was funny, but it was 408 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.400 like because of its almost it's shock, that's what made 409 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.240 it funny. When I stuck with the Simps, I liked 410 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.640 them both, but I just always thought with the Simpsons, 411 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.440 it's like this master class in writing. I couldn't have 412 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:47.880 I don't think I would have consciously told you this 413 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.839 when I was sixteen, but I just was. I just 414 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.079 found it so like we just talked about Rose, but 415 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:55.000 I didn't know it was a parody of Citizen Kane, 416 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.119 but you kind of knew there was all these layers happening. 417 00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.359 Yeah, they're hitting different parts of the funny bone, Reckon 418 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.680 and me. And you can't imagine South Back, for all 419 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:08.039 its virtues, going deep on a Citizen Kane homage. 420 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:09.680 Let's rip off. Yeah. 421 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.359 So I mean, yeah, they're just they're approaching it in 422 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:12.960 different ways. 423 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:14.559 Next time you join us, you have to come onto 424 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.920 our South Park podcast. We're currently in season nine of 425 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:19.359 the show. We just did Trapped in the Closet with 426 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.240 Tom Cruise and John Devolta. That's awesome. 427 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.920 I mean, it's funny how I said, like, maybe, hi, Brow, 428 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.599 I'm not sure if that's the right way to describe. 429 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:32.039 But when in the same episode where the parodied Citizen Kane, 430 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:36.119 there's also that brilliant scene when the when Bobo gets 431 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.839 caught in the ice and then they make it to 432 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.839 a Poo's quickie mart and the guys are like, you 433 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.680 got a fun better way to make eyes on this 434 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:49.759 last expedition, got better better way of making eyes and 435 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.400 you just go, that's a really funny, dumb joke. 436 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.480 Are you a big so why did you choose Rose 437 00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.200 Budy You're a big fan of the mister Burns character. 438 00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.960 Was just the fact that there's so much crammed into 439 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:01.839 this Well, what was it that made you want to 440 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:04.519 review rosebud today? Yeah? 441 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.480 Both, I think it's a really well written show. That episode, 442 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.119 I should say, And then yes, I find Monty Burns 443 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.839 hilarious because there's old jokes don't stop getting funny, and 444 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:17.839 I mean Grandpa Simpson can wheel those out a lot. 445 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.640 But there's also this, and I think it's almost precient 446 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.480 now watching it, because we've seen the rise of all 447 00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:27.079 these tech billionaires and all these people who are just 448 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:32.160 monstrously rich, especially in America, and it's this overriding capitalism 449 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.440 of people that just want to be rich and do 450 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:37.599 not care about anything else but getting richer. And Monty 451 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:42.079 Burn's whole storyline is always him. But there's that beautiful 452 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.440 part when he doesn't want to pay home at all 453 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:50.319 for the boy, and the roof just rips open and 454 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.200 all that gold and things just drop on his head. 455 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:54.759 He says, as you can see this police is falling 456 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:58.680 them off, and it's like it just makes you laugh 457 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.039 because like, this guy is so and so rich and 458 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.680 has no conscience whatsoever, but you're. 459 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:05.160 Saying to me off the air. That sort of the 460 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.240 theme of this episode is kind of like money happy. 461 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:08.920 Money can't buy happiness, isn't it, really? 462 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:10.559 Well, essentially, yeah, I mean, he's got all the money 463 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.599 in the world, but he's longing for this just bedraggled 464 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:16.920 old bear that he just you know, can't get a 465 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:18.319 hold well he can't get out of his head. But 466 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:20.039 also I can't get a hold of He's. 467 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:21.920 Also keeping a secret as well, which I thought was interesting. 468 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:23.440 Well yeah, yeah, I mean, well he does want to 469 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.759 show any weakness, yeah, particularly even well particularly the Smithers 470 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:27.200 I don't think. 471 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.920 But as the Simpsons evolved, the mister Burns character did 472 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:32.839 show weakness a lot more. But in these earlier seasons 473 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.559 he was the scary billionaire tyrant. 474 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:39.759 Yes, and then just made like rich people decisions, which 475 00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:42.200 is fun, you know, like you just couldn't give a shit. 476 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.920 I mean I still say it now. At any time 477 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.079 someone who makes a lot of money, I'm like, oh, yeah, 478 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.839 they have to buy another Ivory backscratcher, which is just. 479 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:52.240 Yeah. 480 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:54.079 But at the very end, I mean everyone's sort of 481 00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.839 angling for a payday. Well, certainly the Simpsons family is 482 00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:58.599 angling for a payday. Think, oh, you know we can 483 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:01.160 get a bit of cash out of by handing over 484 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:01.839 this bed. 485 00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.000 It would, right, And then if you found this old 486 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.160 billionaires teddy bear, you'd try and milk it for all 487 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:08.960 you could, right, I mean fuck being honest and good 488 00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.279 if he wouldn't be the other way around, So get 489 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:12.960 what you can out of him. I think they should 490 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.519 have tried to rip him off for money. 491 00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:16.200 Well yeah, but I mean the fact that they don't 492 00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:19.680 get anything at the very end is yeah, it's sort 493 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.400 of the underlines the theme of the episode, which is 494 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:25.799 the other. If they'd got money for it, it would 495 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.079 have sort of negated that. 496 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:28.680 I think it could have just been a thing. And 497 00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:31.240 I know they're so good at using trokes and then 498 00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.440 going in the other direction. I mean, it would be 499 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.960 so saccharin sweet or like if everyone he got his bed, 500 00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.839 they got their money and they're like and it's all fine. 501 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.119 And I like it at the end, like is this 502 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.759 a good ending or a bad ending? It's an ending 503 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:46.119 that'll do my favorite. 504 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:48.559 Did you have any favorite moments from the episode? 505 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:51.000 I did like the nice thing, as I mentioned before, 506 00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:56.440 just made me chuckle. And just when he goes yeah, 507 00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:58.640 if you if you know a better way to get 508 00:22:58.640 --> 00:22:59.799 some assle like to hear it, and I like it 509 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:01.559 how I just go back to each other like, no, 510 00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:02.319 he's got to say it. 511 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:02.839 They just. 512 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.880 I do love and it's again when you watch it, 513 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.480 and rewatch it. All these little asides Popper that just 514 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:16.160 make you laugh. Where Sminners is interrogating mister Burns after 515 00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.359 the party and going, I don't understand. Look at everything 516 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.440 that you've got, and he says, you've got Arthur's Excalibur, 517 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:25.759 you've got the only nude photo of Mark Twain, and 518 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.960 you've got the first draft of the Constitution with the 519 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:29.000 word suckers in it. 520 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:31.599 That's one of my favorites as well. That just strikes 521 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.119 me as a real sort of Generation X joke. I'm 522 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:36.880 I'm trying to figure out exactly why that feels so 523 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.799 nineteen ninety three, but it really does. 524 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.680 Yeah, it really does. And I guess again, I mean 525 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:43.960 maybe with Trump and everything and how much how crazy 526 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.759 America's going, it was like, yeah, that's quite funny. Now 527 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.400 people in dude would ride suckers in a Constitution and 528 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:51.680 Bilm we got away with it. 529 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:54.960 For me, I've always loved Homer's reaction to the sitcom. 530 00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:58.880 So you've got the what already? Yes right, everyone remembers there, yes, right? 531 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:01.440 But I love more Home Were Going because Lisa says, 532 00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:03.640 is it just me or TV getting worse or something 533 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:05.799 on those lines, and you nothing's still the same. Watch 534 00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:06.839 Out Smithers and. 535 00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:11.240 Yes, I love this show, which is funny in that 536 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.559 it's a TV show that had no regard for TV's 537 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.920 constantly saying this is a you know, like Homer just 538 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.559 sits in front of it, and it's like this, you know, 539 00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:23.759 it just makes him docile. He just sits there. He 540 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:26.680 wastes his life away, which kind of has parallels now. 541 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.000 When I'm watching it, I'm like, oh, this is if 542 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.440 it was made now, it'd be phones. Like we're just 543 00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:33.359 sitting in front of a phone, We're scrolling, we're doing 544 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.200 all those things. And I just loved it that it 545 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:39.680 wasn't like other TV shows would never pope fund of 546 00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.640 TV because they're on it.

You know, 568 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.319 I always found it very weird that they would have 569 00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:45.000 pictures of missing children on milk cut but that's. 570 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:45.480 America for you. 571 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.720 But the poor old millhouse was clearly missing. It's just 572 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.640 bobo bo bo bobo slap nap stickers when poor old 573 00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:53.759 Millhouse is just you know, thrown to the side. 574 00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:57.240 All Homer saying that Flanders smells like manure, Kathleen party 575 00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:57.720 things like that. 576 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:00.599 Yeah, but even sometimes the darker Joe, like you know 577 00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.880 when he said, what do you think you was mister 578 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.359 Burns saying, oh, maybe you're trying to enjoy beer. Well, 579 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.960 you will have stopped every beer truck from coming into Springfield. 580 00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:11.680 And then Barney entswers the door with a cocked pistol 581 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:16.799 and says, SCRAMs the door on him, and you hear 582 00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:20.559 the gun go off and a woman's shrill scream please. 583 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.799 The thing is though, that was cut out of TV. 584 00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:25.720 So when I used to watch it as a kid, 585 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.119 this episode, that scene and the scene with Homer in 586 00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.440 the box like the empty cardboard box. Those two scenes 587 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.400 of the boxes were edited for time. I feel like 588 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:36.720 the Barney with the gun was edited because of maybe 589 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:38.839 because of the violence, but also what they edited out was, 590 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:40.960 you know, at the end of the birthday party when 591 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.640 a riot breaks out and beat everybody up, that was 592 00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:45.480 cut out as well. So I remember watching for the 593 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:47.759 first time on foxtail because Fox told I mean pay 594 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:49.799 TV in Australia when he used to air The Simpsons 595 00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:51.799 back in the nineties, they would play the full versions 596 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:54.039 and we remember seeing it for the first time. It 597 00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:58.039 was like at the caprio moment of that's new, you know. 598 00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.440 I mean, Dan, that's quite funny as well. He said 599 00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.880 this party is over, and then they've got like what 600 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:06.880 do you call them like not squat the ride police, right, 601 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:14.559 just he just forces them upon the guests quarter way 602 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.440 to finish. I mean that little bit after the Ramones play. 603 00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:22.359 It's so funny with Monty goes and the Rolling Stones killed, 604 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.279 and then this says, but but do it do. 605 00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.960 As I say? There's I want to touch on the 606 00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:30.599 Ramones because I think that's arguably the greatest guest cameo, 607 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:34.000 not guest appears, but guest cameo of all time. You've 608 00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:36.680 got that, just the fact that it's the Ramones, You've 609 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.680 got the great direction of the directing of the real 610 00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.240 cool panshot as the song's beginning where it passes past Joey. 611 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.000 The song itself is fantastic, but again the button at 612 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.440 the end of have the Rolling Stones Killed? Do as 613 00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:49.319 I say? But also when they say go to hell 614 00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.319 you are beastard, and the look on Burns's face as 615 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:54.480 the curtain is closing on him. It's just there is 616 00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:57.559 so much packed into like fifteen seconds. It's unbelievable. 617 00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:59.720 And each Ramone gets gets the moment to shine. I 618 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.039 get Eats, get a line. It's like, hey, I think 619 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:02.839 they really liked us. 620 00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:08.720 Also, speaking of songs, my other favorite bit was and 621 00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:11.279 it's something that wouldn't really work now because no one 622 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:13.480 does it anymore, but it's the big Max song that 623 00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:17.880 Homer sings in the recording studio. Like that is that 624 00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.480 was such a pivotal part of what my child was. 625 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:20.920 Can you do the big Max song? But no one 626 00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:23.319 does it anymore? You know, it's just that that's all 627 00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.079 people nam mc donald's for now. It's not the big 628 00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:28.039 Max song. But I think that's such a great side gag. 629 00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:30.400 Yeah, And then he gets to the end in Homer 630 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:31.720 you're drawing on the mic again. 631 00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:34.160 Well, yeah, it's it's hats on hats on hats because 632 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:36.200 it's like Homer saying, oh, I can get what I 633 00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.119 always won of my own recording here. It's like, okay, 634 00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:39.759 it's a gag in itself. And then you're seeing what 635 00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:42.559 the McDonald's themes are and he's drawing on the mic. 636 00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:44.839 It's like, oh, it's the gift that keeps on giving. 637 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.680 Next question, you there eating the Beast. Let's answer some 638 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:50.960 trivia questions. I asked you a question here, Dave. Let's 639 00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:52.680 see if you can answer it for us. Okay, what 640 00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.400 did Marge get mister Burns for his birthday? 641 00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:01.839 Dustbuster? Yes, look on her face of oh I thought 642 00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:03.039 I've nailed it, and you. 643 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:04.559 Can you can imagine Marge thought that would be a 644 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:06.279 great gift. There's obviously something that she would use all 645 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:09.519 the time. It's very practical. As a kid though, you 646 00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:12.079 always had those relatives that brought you practical gifts. And 647 00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:14.880 it's like I didn't fucking want pencils. I wanted a 648 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:16.720 street shark's toy. Look what are you doing? 649 00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:18.359 Yeah? But Dando, this is the thing other be in 650 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.119 Brunswick and for anyone oversees who's listening, this is very 651 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.319 much there with the very left of center.

He's handing over a check to the Prince 680 00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:36.920 of Darkness. But how much? 681 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.559 Oh I didn't because I didn't notice.

We never got to that point in Australia 695 00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:16.640 did we We now have streaming services and things, but 696 00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:18.880 it never got to that point where you, like friends 697 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:20.519 will go to America and be like they've got so 698 00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:23.799 many channels and we still had five. 699 00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:26.960 We had Foxtael. Basically that's what you want to get 700 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:28.759 more chance yet Fox, did you have Foxtail as a kid. 701 00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:31.200 No, My parents were never fought me out for Foxtel 702 00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.440 and yeah, and so it was always that it was 703 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.359 just yeah, you went through you were lucky to get 704 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:37.960 SPS to be. 705 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:39.440 Honest, yeah, channel thirty one. 706 00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:41.680 Yeah, but it's only we always talk about when we 707 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:46.400 were talking with guests. Usually it's that having that limited 708 00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:49.440 amount of options meant that you had to watch all 709 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:51.160 that stuff that you were talking about earlier day. You'd 710 00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.799 be watching George Burns movies or Ab and Costello stuff, 711 00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:58.519 and as a result, you got this widely curated sort 712 00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:03.440 of diet of entertainment and culture. And yeah, your your 713 00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:05.759 sensibility has got shaped as a result of that. I mean, yeah, 714 00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.200 you watched a lot of good stuff, you also watched 715 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:08.640 a lot of crap, and you were able to discern 716 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:09.640 the good stuff from the bad. 717 00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:11.960 Yeah.

And when we watch we watch a 721 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.359 Wizard of Oz with him, and of course those old movies. 722 00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:27.279 The credits are at the start. It's three minutes of 723 00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:30.400 just acknowledging the people who put this amazing motion picture together, 724 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:32.680 and they're like, they're looking at me, like what the 725 00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:36.799 fuck is pushed the middle button. And then it was 726 00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:40.039 only last night actually that I was singing the eighties 727 00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:44.920 sitcom tunes and then watching my wife as I'm like 728 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:47.599 because I remember them all, And then I'd start and 729 00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:50.079 she'd go, oh yeah, and then she'd jump in as 730 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.000 we all start singing the Family Ties theme song or 731 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:55.039 whatever the hell it was, and you just don't have 732 00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:57.799 that anymore. Like there are certain things that pierced through, 733 00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:58.759 but not necessarily. 734 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:00.960 I say to my shame that some forty years on, 735 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.319 I can still sing the theme to Growing Pains. Show 736 00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:04.119 me that smile again. 737 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:09.240 I put Space Gm on for my sunny. Had a 738 00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:11.519 couple of mates over on on Saturday night, and it 739 00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:13.799 was interesting because we're talking about the skip intro right, 740 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.440 and my son loves Space Jam, one of his favorite movies. 741 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:18.839 And during the opening credits of Space Jam, there's fucking 742 00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.160 shots of MJ Do and slam Dune Space Jam. The 743 00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.759 song's playing, it's great, and one kid's just like, when's 744 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:26.759 a movie star? When's a movie star? I'm like, kid, 745 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:29.759 are you fucking your eyes working? Why would you want 746 00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:31.720 to skip this? But it's like it's just that mentality 747 00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:33.559 of now, oh the credits that means we need to 748 00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:35.319 skip this part. It's just it's just sort of second 749 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.519 nature to so many kids. Now you see those credits 750 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.160 and it means quick, skip, skip, skip. This isn't this 751 00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:41.359 isn't anything we have to watch. 752 00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:43.440 Yeah, And I've now gotten to the point where I'm 753 00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:44.960 sure I'm not on the level of you guys, but 754 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.960 I now get into movies and things and quite often 755 00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:51.119 and even when I'm watching now, especially Australian content, because 756 00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:53.160 I might know some of the people who are involved. 757 00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:55.839 Where now I want to watch the end credits and 758 00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:57.880 the streaming service is like, right, we'll move on. No, 759 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:01.880 no know my mates and grip over in our a. 760 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:03.720 I just want to see us involves in this film. 761 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:06.400 Yeah, it's like you're playing PlayStations, don't trying to find 762 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:08.000 the right but to get to that little box up 763 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:08.679 in the right hand corner. 764 00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.039 It's like, I want to watch the credits. By the way, Sorry, I'm. 765 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.239 Just I wasn't laughing at Dana, but I was laughing 766 00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.480 the fact that the kid who wanted to you know, 767 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.159 skipad basically sounds like a teamster from New York. Why 768 00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:20.960 are we watching this? 769 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:25.039 He was so angry, He's like, why are we Will 770 00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:25.639 you skip this? 771 00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:26.119 Please? 772 00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:26.840 When's the gate? 773 00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:28.920 When's the movie start? I'm like, this is the movie 774 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:33.039 kid who's running this show. But we just were talking 775 00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:34.559 to you off air, just Before we recorded this, we 776 00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:37.039 spoke to Matt someone from the Simpsons, and this year 777 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:40.079 they have cut out couch gags. The couchhags just don't 778 00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:42.119 exist anymore, so they can cram in more and the 779 00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.079 opening interest, so they can cram in more storytelling, say, 780 00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.320 But also there's a mentality of how many people actually 781 00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:50.840 watch the intro anymore, Like when you when you pick 782 00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:53.400 up Disney Plus, we just go skip intro, and when 783 00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:55.199 you click skip intro on The Simpsons, it skips the 784 00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:57.440 couch gag. So it's like, is there a point even 785 00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:58.519 having couch gags anymore? 786 00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:01.159 Isn't that funny? Because I mean, the Cat's was seminal 787 00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:03.320 because it was part of the show. Because the intro 788 00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:05.920 had never been changed before. You would just give into 789 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.760 the fact that you're like, yeah, growing Pains is going right, 790 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.480 We'll just sit through the song. This is fine, this 791 00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:13.239 is what happens, and then we'll start and then to 792 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.320 have something different happen, you're like, Wow, they're cramming entertainment 793 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:16.920 in everywhere. 794 00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:19.280 I feel like a bit of old. I knew I 795 00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:21.320 was getting old. My son started watching Fresh Prince at 796 00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:22.880 Ballet because I love that show. When I was a kid, 797 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:25.960 and I was getting dinner ready and he skipped the 798 00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:28.400 intro and I grabbed the romte from his hand and 799 00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:30.199 I rewound it, and he goes, what are you doing? 800 00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:32.519 I said, you will listen to this theme song because 801 00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:35.199 there's part of the show. And ever since then it's 802 00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:36.840 almost like he's afraid to skip intros. 803 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:42.159 And then and said, keep that song at your fucking man, 804 00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:46.880 I have a. 805 00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:49.199 Trivia question for my question, we'll get into our review. 806 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:54.599 When Burns and Smithers are attempting to burgle the Simpson house, 807 00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:56.360 they say, how long in and out? 808 00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:58.199 Eighteen seconds? 809 00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:00.280 Holy shit, Dave Hanton. 810 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:01.320 But I didn't get that. 811 00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:05.199 Yeah, because again I watched it and it made me 812 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:08.599 laugh when he says because firstly Flanner's pokes his head 813 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.119 up from the roof. It's a very Flanders. I can't 814 00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:14.199 remember what he says for, something like what can I 815 00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:17.880 do you for? Like that these men are dressed in 816 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:20.519 all black in the middle of the night, and he's like, oh, yeah, 817 00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:22.880 just some friends. And then when he says in and 818 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.000 out and out and seconds And as I mentioned earlier 819 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:29.159 that Smith is enjoying their bodies snatching together. 820 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:33.000 Also love too. His great sound editing that part because 821 00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:36.760 they didn't just have flanners go thud. It's thought he's 822 00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.480 falling down a ladder. It's not a good fall for 823 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.119 Flanders there. But let's get into our review, shall we 824 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.440 of Rosebud. So the visual airday of this episode was 825 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:48.320 October twenty first, nineteen ninety three. Now we do a 826 00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:49.639 bit here on the show where we talk about the 827 00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.000 top three films of the US box office when this 828 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:56.199 episode aired. So number three was Cool Runnings. Number two 829 00:36:56.679 --> 00:37:01.039 was Beverly Hillbillies, remember that TV adaptation, and number one 830 00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:02.760 was one of your favorites, demolition. 831 00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:06.280 Man, moly Stallone and Snipes together at last. 832 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.639 Please, Well, that was that was very seminal in the 833 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:12.119 nineties because it was Wesley Snipes's haircut that led to 834 00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.280 Dennis Rodman bleaching his hair blonde. He saw Wesley Snipes 835 00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.519 doing it. Really yeah, he was like, this is cool, 836 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.159 and that's why this is the most nineties conversation I've 837 00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:24.320 had in a very long time. It's good, right to 838 00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:24.800 be honest. 839 00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:28.280 Guy always brings up there's a bit in Demolition Man 840 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:30.199 that would never fly today. Have do you know the 841 00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:34.519 bit we're talking about where he we wait to say 842 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:36.639 what he says, but he sees an Asian guy. 843 00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.039 Have you seen I haven't seen demolition Man in a 844 00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:40.400 long time? 845 00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:44.880 In the In the yeah, farth long future of Demolition Man, 846 00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:47.199 people are basically there's a very Asian influence in the 847 00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:50.039 way people are dressing. People sort of walking around in 848 00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:53.480 kimonos a lot, and look, okay, fine, I'll pull the 849 00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:56.400 rip cold on this one. Yeah, Wesley Snipes walks past them. Yeah, 850 00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:58.719 some people are dressings who may actually be Asian, basically 851 00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:00.480 says the Ching Chong Qing Chong so. 852 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.400 And he just says that, Wesley, what Apparently that wasn't 853 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.559 that improvised? I think so, it wasn't in the script 854 00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:12.280 and they left it in the movie. Were have you said? 855 00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:16.239 Let Wesley stops is the villain of Demolition. Do not 856 00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:18.960 do this at home, kids, it helps. The one thing 857 00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.159 we always say in our south Park podcast is people 858 00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.440 always say, people who don't like south Park say it's 859 00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:24.800 just crude. It's this out and the other day I 860 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:26.800 can't believe they're doing this, they're doing that, But it's 861 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:29.519 it's look at which characters are doing this and which 862 00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:31.920 characters are saying this. They are the bad guys. The 863 00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:34.360 whole point is it is bad to be doing these things. 864 00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:36.119 It is bad to be saying these things. That's the 865 00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:38.320 whole point exactly. 866 00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:40.000 I mean you get a lot of this in stand 867 00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:42.440 up where people go they said something on stage, it's like, yeah, 868 00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:44.639 they're not happy with it. Like, you still do have 869 00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.639 to point out, like if someone's yelled, you know, a 870 00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:50.000 homophobic slur at you, and you said, this person yelled 871 00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:51.400 at me, like I can't believe they've said that word, 872 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:54.280 it's like, yeah, because they're not cool with it. That's 873 00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:57.760 just pointing out that they they weren't okay. And you 874 00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:01.760 can't lampoon something without addressing it correct. How often do 875 00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:04.960 you write jokes and go, it's a good joke, but 876 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:07.320 I just know I can't do it. Can I lend 877 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:08.199 the plane on this one? 878 00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:11.039 The negative is far away the positives here. 879 00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:13.559 Yeah, I mean there's always ones that you kind of 880 00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:15.400 laugh and I hate to say it, but usually your 881 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.480 shelter of the comics and they laugh and they go dead. 882 00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:20.039 I wouldn't do that one. 883 00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:24.039 Just because it's so it could be so easily misconstrued. 884 00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:26.880 I mean, you're going in with the best of intentions. 885 00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.440 Yes, can be misconstrued. I mean there is that thing 886 00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:32.280 if people do go, look that you're mentioning a topic 887 00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:34.159 that can make people tighten up a bit. 888 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:40.039 What's that saying Depiction does not equal endorsement, as they say. 889 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.559 Yeah, And I mean it is a it is a 890 00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:47.719 strange area of that one because also there's that the 891 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.760 situation of irony where sometimes you're saying something out of irony, 892 00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:54.159 but it's the people that you're lampooning who then use 893 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:56.119 it to be like, oh, this is a good thing. 894 00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:00.079 Like the best example I can think of is what 895 00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:03.280 was the movie with Gordon Gecko? What was it Wall Street? Yeah, 896 00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:05.239 and that last speech of him with greet is good, 897 00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:09.000 Like that's lamb hoooning the whole idea of stockbrokers and 898 00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:10.800 the fact that all they care about is money and 899 00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:13.159 they have no morals. But yet all the stock brokers 900 00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:15.440 in New York like this is amazing, and could quote 901 00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:17.719 that thing end to end. So it's not really then 902 00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:21.440 lampouning it anymore, and it's not ironic. They're actually enjoying 903 00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:22.719 what's being said. 904 00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:24.639 Oh yeah, all people who. 905 00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:27.480 Had a lot of people coming up with the director 906 00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:29.719 of the movie of American psycho saying, you know he's 907 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:31.679 got a great morning routine. Is that Patrick Bateman? 908 00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:36.840 Yeah, so sometimes you can call yourself and you know 909 00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:39.599 that's the trap you can also fall into. But I 910 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:41.719 mean it happens a lot with comedy writers. I think 911 00:40:41.960 --> 00:40:46.119 what people what finally makes the editor? I think in 912 00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:48.320 and I haven't been in too many writer rooms like 913 00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:51.000 the Simpsons, but I'm saying with stand ups, and I 914 00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:53.920 know a lot of my mates are writers, the writer's 915 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.760 room is just bare knuckle brawling. We bring it back 916 00:40:56.800 --> 00:40:59.480 to a palatable level by the time something has to 917 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.320 go to where or has to go to the stage. 918 00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:04.599 So sometimes when you just ran comics, yeah, it can 919 00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:06.159 be a big crook with comedy. 920 00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:08.039 Do you sort of stick around? Are your best mates 921 00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:09.800 in comedy the ones that you started out with or 922 00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:11.559 do you find and make new friends along the way 923 00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:12.840 or do you find you just sort of stick with 924 00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:13.840 your crew? 925 00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:17.000 Good question, And it's the friends we make along the way. No, 926 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:21.760 it's it all of the above. You know, there's mates 927 00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:24.960 that you start with and then you stay friends with them, 928 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.039 and then there's also yeah, comics that you yeah, you 929 00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:31.199 just find And I mean we're a bit of like 930 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:33.920 a traveling circus, because there's also a thing of you 931 00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:36.719 sometimes see your mates less and less the more that 932 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:40.840 you gig because you used to gig together on lineups. 933 00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:43.199 But then as we all get our own work and 934 00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:45.039 maybe become headliners and tour. 935 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:45.960 On your own own families. 936 00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:49.400 Yeah, that you don't do shows together as much because 937 00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:51.480 they're doing their show and you're doing your show, so 938 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.480 you maybe don't see them as much. But then when 939 00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:55.079 you do get to hang out, you so far. 940 00:41:55.719 --> 00:41:58.400 I've got to say something like the Melbourne International Comedy 941 00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.199 Festival must be a blast in that regard is oh, 942 00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.119 you know we're all here under the same under the 943 00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:02.599 same tent. 944 00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:05.719 Yeah, it is heaps of fun. I mean Adelaide Fringe 945 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:09.559 I always find is the one where it's a fringe festival, 946 00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:11.679 which is which means for a lot of us we 947 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:13.639 can say, oh yeah, if a joke doesn't work, like yeah, 948 00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.039 I mean it was up, it was, it doesn't matter. 949 00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:18.519 And then we're also a lot of us are away 950 00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:20.960 from home and now we've got families. You can kind 951 00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:22.480 of hang out and be like, yeah, I'm free during 952 00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:23.440 the day, what do you want to do? Like you 953 00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:25.159 gets to hang out with your mates. Finally, because when 954 00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:27.599 it is back in Melbourne I live, you've still got 955 00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:30.239 kid drop off, kid pick up, You've got you know, 956 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.000 just things that you got to do in everyday life. 957 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:34.119 But when you're away like that, it's fun. 958 00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:36.719 I was telling guy, because I've got a kid, two kids, 959 00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:39.280 one's five, don't forget the other one.

I was just out 961 00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:43.519 of school, but I was saying, when you're a parent 962 00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:45.440 of young kids, no matter when you think you've got 963 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:48.039 your life in check, there's always fucking something that happens 964 00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:49.760 to throw you off track again. You know, you can 965 00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:51.880 get you can be as organized as you want, but 966 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:55.679 then something will happen. You know, you're just like why why, 967 00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:57.480 but you know, but you wouldn't have it any other way. 968 00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.760 Yeah, it's a good reminder.

Like it was 972 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:13.159 a couple of weeks ago, I was actually shooting this 973 00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:15.599 scripted comedy that's I think going to be coming out 974 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.199 midyear for the ABC here in Australia and we had 975 00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:21.400 some friends over it. But I said, I've got to 976 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:25.719 learn these lines because we're shooting tomorrow. And the friend 977 00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:27.840 who was over, she had her sons over and they're 978 00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:29.880 the same age as my daughter's, or primary school age, 979 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:31.599 and she was talking to her son, going, yeah, because 980 00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:34.119 Dave learns those words because he's going to be shooting 981 00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:36.880 these things for TV. And she was nice enough to say, 982 00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:40.039 she goes, because Dave's famous. And my youngest was sitting 983 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.519 on my lap and he goes, no, he's not. He 984 00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:45.679 hasn't been on TV in the ages, like he hasn't 985 00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:47.880 done anything. And I'm like, oh cool, thanks mate, I 986 00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:48.840 really appreciate it. 987 00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:52.280 I saw you did the p's and v's bit about 988 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:53.119 your kids as well. 989 00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:56.519 Yes there's all that stuff. I mean, kids just do 990 00:43:56.800 --> 00:44:00.639 tend to serve up all crazy things. But if you 991 00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:02.440 haven't seen it, this is all a true story. Which 992 00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:05.360 is a daycare and this is very Brunswick. On one 993 00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.960 day they taught all the kids or their entire body, 994 00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:12.719 including the special areas, which I can't speak for you guy, 995 00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:14.400 but we never had that growing up. You know, no 996 00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:16.920 one spoke about it. You got given where did I 997 00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:24.320 come from the book and she comes home and for 998 00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:26.440 the next six weeks, all she's talking about is penises 999 00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:28.760 and vaginas because that's what they spoke about in the class. 1000 00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:31.400 Did for six weeks, and I finally said to her, Hey, 1001 00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:34.079 it's fine that you know those words, but just stop. 1002 00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:36.400 Don't do it outside of the house, okay. And then 1003 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:38.400 I go to pick her up the next night from 1004 00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:41.599 daycare and she just across the room just goes, Daddy, 1005 00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:44.000 you're a penis, like straight across the room to everyone. 1006 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:46.920 And then this is all true, And I say it 1007 00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:48.800 in a bit. I was never quick on my feet, 1008 00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:50.360 but I raised my voice to act like I had 1009 00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:53.199 some authority in the daycare. And then I said to her, hey, 1010 00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:55.840 you can only talk about dad's penis when we get 1011 00:44:55.880 --> 00:45:01.599 hard and oh no, what am I doing? And that 1012 00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:04.000 is all word for word true. So that's the great 1013 00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:06.159 thing with kids. They also serve up those stories. 1014 00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:08.719 Do you feel like your comedy has now you're talking 1015 00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:10.119 about the simszens evolved and do you think that your 1016 00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:12.320 comedy's evolved now they're becoming a parent in things? Do 1017 00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.800 you feel like your brand of humor has shifted in 1018 00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:15.199 some way? 1019 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:17.519 I mean dando, you could say devolved. I mean, I 1020 00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:20.360 know something. There's always a slide on comedians where they go, 1021 00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:21.800 what are you going to talk about your kids now 1022 00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:22.920 that you've become a father. 1023 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:27.320 It's like, yeah, because there's nothing, what else am I doing? 1024 00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:31.039 Yeah, I mean yeah, it's it's certainly changed. I mean 1025 00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:34.280 my family laughs because they said it's just moved downhill. 1026 00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:36.719 Like I used to talk about when I started my 1027 00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:39.320 mom on stage, and then it went to my wife, 1028 00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:42.440 and now it's down to my kids. So my mum 1029 00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:44.199 and my wife are now like, oh great, we dodged 1030 00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:45.760 a bullet. Now we don't get spoken about. 1031 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:48.119 You get some cats soon you're talking about the cats. 1032 00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:51.760 Yeah, exactly, exactly. But actually there was a nice thing 1033 00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:55.559 about Rosebud because of that through line of Homer doing 1034 00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:59.239 the roast on Monty Burns. It was as a stand 1035 00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.559 up and this wasn't my intention why I picked the episode, 1036 00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:03.880 But when I'm watching it again, I was like, oh god, 1037 00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:06.760 I've been in that situation where you've just been thrown 1038 00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:10.760 under the bus on an intro. Then you've got to 1039 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:11.599 bring the comedy. 1040 00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:15.000 Oh man, that's one of my favorite visits.

They're almost like, well, you all funny, 1070 00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:39.760 you'd be able to work through it, and you're like, 1071 00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:43.639 not really, that's the equivalent of someone just tripping you 1072 00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:45.840 up at the starter's block of one hundred meters and 1073 00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:47.480 then going what, you're fast, you can work it out. 1074 00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:50.800 How pivotal to the bit is the intro by the 1075 00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.840 by the host, like is a pivotal part of the act, 1076 00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:54.800 right yeah? 1077 00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:58.880 I mean especially in those environments because people don't maybe 1078 00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:00.599 have a touchdown it who you are, and so you 1079 00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:02.599 kind of go, yeah, it does help. I mean I 1080 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:05.599 did a thing for I don't want to throw the 1081 00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:08.000 person under the bus, but it was for It was 1082 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:10.239 a room full of people from media, and so there 1083 00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:12.280 was a bit of like and there's sometimes not a 1084 00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:15.360 great audience because I always have respect for anyone who 1085 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:18.039 hosts an awards not or anything that's got to do 1086 00:48:18.119 --> 00:48:22.760 with TV or like music or cinema. But there always 1087 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:24.599 the people that are like, yeah, whatever I can do, 1088 00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:26.280 I could have done that better. 1089 00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:27.280 Yeah. Yeah. 1090 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:29.360 And I was doing one of those gigs and I 1091 00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:30.840 just said to the host, because they were a bit chatty, 1092 00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:32.199 I said, if you could just get them to be quiet, 1093 00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:34.280 it will be amazing. Just I don't need a big intro. 1094 00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:36.599 If you can just get them to settle and do everything, 1095 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:38.800 and then it's fine. Because it's a comic. You need 1096 00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:40.400 people to listen. It's not like music. You can't listen 1097 00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:42.119 to it in the background. You need to catch it. 1098 00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:46.840 The host then went, oh, gay, guys, this next act 1099 00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:49.039 bit of a prima Donna need you guys to shut up. 1100 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.920 And you're like, not exactly the greatest way to couch 1101 00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:56.320 it could not high maintenance and the fact that I 1102 00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:57.360 just want people to listen. 1103 00:48:57.639 --> 00:48:59.760 Now, guys, I hope you're enjoyed this week's show.

So yeah. Written 1116 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.679 by Swartzworld, one of the most iconic Simpsons writers of 1117 00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:34.320 all time, He's just this feels like a very Swartzwater 1118 00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.159 episode and directed by Wes Archer the cash Gagles. The 1119 00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:39.360 family find identical versions of themselves on the couch and 1120 00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:41.639 are confused, but the episode kicks off here with a 1121 00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:44.000 direct shot from Citizen Kane. Now we're touching on early 1122 00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:46.400 how it's a Citizen Kane parody. I still don't know 1123 00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:47.960 how much of it is a parody. You want to 1124 00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:49.639 just give us a quick little recap of how much 1125 00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:51.159 of it is actually a parody of Citizen Kane. 1126 00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.360 Yeah, certainly that opening scene is a shop the shop, 1127 00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:54.960 but of course they throw a little gag in there. 1128 00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:58.280 With the odds. This is clearly the most forbidding place 1129 00:49:58.360 --> 00:49:59.840 in town. You know, either got the hands and got 1130 00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:03.119 the electrified fans, but you've also got free kittens in 1131 00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:03.800 choir within. 1132 00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:06.880 But yeah, the way that shot is. 1133 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:10.239 Done with the zoom, well, the pan up over the 1134 00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:13.480 fence and going in the window this palatial estate. That's 1135 00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:14.679 very much Citizen Kane. 1136 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.320 The story of Kine is a kid joins family with 1137 00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:18.400 a billionaire or something. 1138 00:50:18.519 --> 00:50:21.400 Well yeah, I mean yeah, the driving well, sort of 1139 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.920 the inciting incident of Citizen Kane is this, this young 1140 00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:28.440 boy is basically taken away from his poor but loving 1141 00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:31.480 family and place in the care of the beginning, he 1142 00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:35.880 has given everything he wants but love essentially, So that's yeah. 1143 00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:38.119 They replay that with a bit of a twist on that, 1144 00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:42.880 I think in Citizen Kane. Not that he goes away reluctantly, 1145 00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:44.719 but he's kind of like, I mean, sort of two 1146 00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:47.880 minds about this. But his parents are saying, this wealthy 1147 00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:50.440 old man can give you a much better life. I 1148 00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:53.000 don't know, can I get to miss my parents? Mister 1149 00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:56.800 Burn's like, let's roll. He's got his eyes on the 1150 00:50:56.840 --> 00:51:00.599 prize from the get go, and then you cut mister 1151 00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:03.559 Burn's waking up or no, he's holding the globe that 1152 00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:07.360 rolls down and never never break, never break it. I 1153 00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:10.599 think I think I've forgotten about this gag that Smithers 1154 00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:12.920 comes in and they're just broken globes all over the place. 1155 00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:16.639 But yeah, that's that's certainly a shot from Citizen Kan 1156 00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:19.199 that I think Wells was a bit full of himself 1157 00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:21.960 doing a fancy camera angle through the broken glass and 1158 00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:22.159 all that. 1159 00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:25.719 I really liked the transition to there where Bobo's in 1160 00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:27.840 the snow. Then it pans out from the globe like 1161 00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.159 he was inside the snow globe. Yeah, yes, this is 1162 00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:32.960 where Smithers walks in. Because again, as I was touching earlier, 1163 00:51:33.039 --> 00:51:34.679 he hasn't told Smither's about this Boba. This is a 1164 00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:36.519 secret that he holds dear to himself. Do you think 1165 00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:38.920 that's a case of he's trying to forget about it, 1166 00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:41.159 so just don't bring up with anybody, always embarrassed by it. 1167 00:51:41.440 --> 00:51:44.320 I think it's more like a yeah, he'd used it 1168 00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:46.639 as a sign of weakness. Yeah, yeah, that he would 1169 00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:51.440 be reliant on anything, reliant on anything for anything. 1170 00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:51.920 You know. 1171 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.159 It's like, no, I've got no emotional needs whatsoever. I'm 1172 00:51:55.239 --> 00:51:57.719 just about the accumulation of filthy Luca. 1173 00:51:57.880 --> 00:51:59.639 I just love the disdain he has for Smithers, though 1174 00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:01.840 the Smith's dedicates his entire life to helping him. He 1175 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:07.199 walks in, Oh, it's you bedpans under the pillow. Great, disgusting. 1176 00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:09.960 My pillow under the. 1177 00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:17.519 Under the pillow. Yeah, but spiders asked who Bobo Bobo 1178 00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:19.599 is and he brings up he says, no, it's Shareff 1179 00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:21.480 flow boy. She never should have canceled that show. Then 1180 00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:23.920 they addressed the plans for his birthday have begun, and 1181 00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:26.239 we get one of the most iconic visuals of all time. 1182 00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:29.559 And another topic, the preparations for your birthday have begun. 1183 00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:35.119 They won't get what they really want. No one does, people, 1184 00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:39.679 mister Smithers. 1185 00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:43.400 Mister Burn's coming out of the cake was always one 1186 00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:45.639 of the more surreal moments for me when I was 1187 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:47.519 watching this as a kid. But I've always just loved 1188 00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:50.400 how into it Burns was in Spinther's dream, like he 1189 00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:52.000 wants to be bursting out of that cake. This is 1190 00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:54.239 this is a present he's giving to him. Well you 1191 00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:55.639 know what this is a shout out to as well.

But I just love 1206 00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:39.239 how again, how heavy they leaned into Smith's sexuality back then, 1207 00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:42.559 and they never they did At times, it was very 1208 00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:45.320 rarely used as the punchline. It was just, you know, 1209 00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:46.639 he loves his boss. 1210 00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:49.639 And if they were gay gags, I mean they weren't 1211 00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:53.679 necessarily Yeah, yeah, they weren't poking fun at Smithers. 1212 00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:54.079 You're right. 1213 00:53:54.119 --> 00:53:59.400 I mean, for me, the the apex of that is women. 1214 00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:00.760 Yeah, women. Would you think. 1215 00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:04.800 I was thinking exactly the same thing. And I think 1216 00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:07.119 the great thing is that it also makes everything that 1217 00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:10.239 Smithers does plausible because you would go, who would put 1218 00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:10.679 up with this? 1219 00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:12.360 Absolutely? Yeah? 1220 00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:13.840 Only only a man in love? 1221 00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:16.360 Yeah, exactly. There was always a bit in Malibu Stacey 1222 00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:17.840 as well, where it's like, hell, Loo, Smith, this, you're 1223 00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:20.039 quite good at turning me on. And he says he 1224 00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:22.239 turns to Lisa, who's baffled by what she's just saying. 1225 00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:23.880 He goes, you probably should ignore that. I think it's 1226 00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:25.199 a keep watching Symtos. You're like, yeah, I think I 1227 00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:26.559 might just ignore that too. Right now, what's going on? 1228 00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:30.000 I don't really want to know, But he says he's 1229 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:32.960 going to planning his birthday party. Homer meanwhile, was having 1230 00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:35.719 a genuine nightmare about the cancelation of Sheriff Lobo, which 1231 00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:38.719 I thought was a great callback lovely segue. Yeah. It 1232 00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:41.199 wakes up to find out it's mister Burns's birthday, which 1233 00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:43.039 means all these employees have to do a terrible job 1234 00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:45.440 at his party. He always gets the bad jobs. He's 1235 00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:48.599 the pinada at a previous party, holding the holding pinyard. 1236 00:54:48.679 --> 00:54:50.400 Then we're at work and Burns and Smith as they 1237 00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:53.000 see everyone laughing at the cave and blobber Smithers calls 1238 00:54:53.079 --> 00:54:54.880 him Homer because he's got the coat hanger still in 1239 00:54:55.199 --> 00:54:58.880 his clothes. They're stabbing him really, and Burns wanting to 1240 00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:02.079 perform comedy at his party to harness his fractured take 1241 00:55:02.119 --> 00:55:04.400 on modern life, and Smith says, yeah, I'm going to 1242 00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:07.440 get him prepared for some symbadasque material. What's your thoughts 1243 00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:10.199 on Sinbad the comedian? I remember hear from Jingle All 1244 00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:11.280 the Way. 1245 00:55:11.639 --> 00:55:14.920 That's a very early nineties reference Sinbad. And I don't 1246 00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:17.719 know what the American point of view, because they were 1247 00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:20.239 all they were all comedians or thereabouts in the writers. 1248 00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:23.000 Whether that was like a you know, having a little 1249 00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:24.960 big at Sinbad in Dad, I don't. 1250 00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:26.760 Know, but I think I think it's meant to be. 1251 00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:29.079 Have you ever heard of them? Maybe you didn't live 1252 00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:32.000 through this. There's the mandala effect, right. Kids in the 1253 00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:35.039 nineties have this memory. And I have like vivid memories 1254 00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:38.679 of seeing the cover and the ad that never existed 1255 00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:43.119 of a Sinbad movie of him as a genie, but 1256 00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:46.079 it was played by Simbad. I have so many memories 1257 00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:48.679 of this. It never happened. There's a movie called Shazam 1258 00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:51.960 with Shaquille O'Neil, and apparently for some reason, everyone kids 1259 00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:55.000 kid just crossed. They heard the words the name Simbad 1260 00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:57.559 and just assumed it was him. It's so bizarre. It's 1261 00:55:57.559 --> 00:55:59.559 like there's his entire it's like thesis written on this 1262 00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:01.800 thing that kids of the nineties think that Sinbad was 1263 00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:03.480 in a film where he was a genie from a 1264 00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:04.719 magic lamp. Never happened. 1265 00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:06.800 Yeah, was it? What is it that Sinbad? We would 1266 00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:08.480 have known in Australia? What did he do? 1267 00:56:08.639 --> 00:56:10.280 Or jingle all the jingle all the way for me 1268 00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:10.960 as a kid. 1269 00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:12.880 Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, if you asked me 1270 00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:17.119 to do a Sindbad bit, let's look of Simbad film? Yeah, well, 1271 00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:18.960 he was in a film with a film Hartman called 1272 00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:19.519 House Guest. 1273 00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:21.679 Okay, I don't know that one. Do you know that 1274 00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:22.039 one day? 1275 00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:24.119 No, I'm trying to think. I swear it was a 1276 00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:26.679 TV thing that Simbad was in in the nineties, but 1277 00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:27.559 I don't was it just. 1278 00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:28.480 Called the Sinbad Show? 1279 00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:30.840 Apparently it was a voice of character in the movie Planes. 1280 00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:32.719 I mean, he did have the hoopy ear rings though, 1281 00:56:32.719 --> 00:56:35.320 I remember that Shaquille O'Neil had in his first few years 1282 00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:37.639 were the same thing, the big gold earrings and you're right, 1283 00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.840 like a best Yeah, that's It's a funny Dano that 1284 00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:42.599 you said that, because I do agree that I felt 1285 00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:44.199 like I'd seen him as a genie and I could 1286 00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:46.039 not tell you why it never happened. 1287 00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:47.960 It's so weird. Yeah. Did you have any comedians that 1288 00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:51.000 you did enjoy growing up before you decided to comedy? 1289 00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:52.880 Is my thing? Who were the comedians that you enjoyed 1290 00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:53.360 as a kid. 1291 00:56:53.639 --> 00:56:55.000 I mean, I do hope to say this in it 1292 00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:57.599 has mat as well with Bill Cosby. I mean it. 1293 00:56:57.480 --> 00:56:59.559 Was he was. He was huge star. 1294 00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:02.400 Yeah, himself is an amazing piece of I mean, this 1295 00:57:02.519 --> 00:57:05.239 is that argument of the artist and the art, but 1296 00:57:05.360 --> 00:57:08.840 oh yeah, absolutely himself is an incredible stand up show. 1297 00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:11.159 That was I think one of the first I've ever seen. 1298 00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:14.400 Billy Conley was a huge influence here in Australia. I 1299 00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:16.480 mean he was the first person I've ever seen that swore. 1300 00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:18.199 My parents are like, nah, that's pretty good. 1301 00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:21.679 He was really big, wasn't he in Australia? Connolly? 1302 00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:23.480 Yeah, yeah, because remember he would also do a lot 1303 00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:25.880 of those he'd travel around Australia. He'd be on a 1304 00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:30.239 giant trike, like this motorcycle with two wheels at the back, 1305 00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:32.239 and then he would just travel to all these little 1306 00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:33.880 players in Australia. It was the first one to do 1307 00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:37.280 it in Australia in the eighties and nineties. That was huge. 1308 00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:39.119 We never got people from overseas. I mean, people have 1309 00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:42.440 to understand. When we have our TV awards, the logis 1310 00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:46.519 it would be, you know, the eighth cast member from 1311 00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:49.519 a really shit show that would come over and do 1312 00:57:49.599 --> 00:57:52.239 a guest appearance and we'd all be losing our minds. 1313 00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:55.239 But even before that, though, Dave, I mean, going back 1314 00:57:55.239 --> 00:57:58.840 to the seventies, the logans attracted some huge names. 1315 00:57:58.920 --> 00:57:59.480 It was wild. 1316 00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:00.840 I mean it was I think there was a stage 1317 00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:03.639 where John Wayne came over. It was like presenting the 1318 00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:05.320 big award at the end. I mean, and this is 1319 00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:08.039 when you know John Wayne was still John Wayne. 1320 00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:10.039 We've got one star and we put all the budget 1321 00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:11.159 into that, absolutely all. 1322 00:58:11.239 --> 00:58:14.159 Muhammad Ali came over only to get you know, inavertently 1323 00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:18.440 racially assaulted by Burton. Yes, rest in peace, Burton. 1324 00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:20.679 But it's funny how there's because we grew up on 1325 00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:24.360 those classic moments from Australian television shows like Top twenty 1326 00:58:24.400 --> 00:58:26.679 and stuff like that, and I feel like we always 1327 00:58:26.719 --> 00:58:28.840 have like the Burton Newton and Muhammed Ali moment. There's 1328 00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:32.079 always key moments like the Graham Kennedy saying fuck on 1329 00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:34.159 TV and that kind of thing that we all remember 1330 00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:36.719 because they just repeated those. We've got like twenty classic 1331 00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:38.599 moments of Australian taligent over like thirty years. 1332 00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:42.159 But you're also right, David that, yeah, as the eighties progressed, 1333 00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:45.360 certainly end of the night is like, yeah, we're we're 1334 00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:48.119 not getting Jennifer Anderson, We'll get Matt LeBlanc. He can 1335 00:58:48.159 --> 00:58:51.280 come over and present the Gold LOGI some would argue better. 1336 00:58:51.559 --> 00:58:54.559 I think I remembered Matt LeBlanc being on the logis 1337 00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:57.639 and kind of giving this look of like, what what's happened? 1338 00:58:57.639 --> 00:58:58.320 I'm gonna have to follow? 1339 00:58:58.320 --> 00:58:58.679 Where am I? 1340 00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:01.760 By the end, no one's really been briefed about you know, 1341 00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:03.719 this is Australian Televisions night, and I was like, what 1342 00:59:03.760 --> 00:59:04.960 the fuck am I doing here? 1343 00:59:08.519 --> 00:59:10.679 And it's never really changed, has it. Legies are still 1344 00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:11.719 the logies like it's just. 1345 00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:14.960 Oh yeah, but I mean, who's the international person they 1346 00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:15.519 bring out these. 1347 00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:18.000 They like to think it's prestigious. I guess at least 1348 00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:19.760 we have some pretty big names coming from a shot 1349 00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:22.119 that the Hemsworths and who else we got from Australia. Oh, 1350 00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:23.480 Margaret Robbie, she's another star. 1351 00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:24.639 Yeah. 1352 00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:26.559 Do you attend Day? Did you attend the Logans in 1353 00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:27.199 in stage? 1354 00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:29.719 I haven't. Actually, it's been the one thing. And mind 1355 00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:34.039 you again, having done some corporates now, different awards in 1356 00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:36.559 different sectors, I'm like, oh, I think I'm good because 1357 00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:39.239 it is all the ward nights. I find it just 1358 00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:41.880 drag on and it's I've been strangely to some LOGI 1359 00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:43.960 after parties because I never went to the Logis. But 1360 00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:46.039 then when it was in Melbourne, people be like, just 1361 00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:47.679 come the after party. I was like, yeah, okay, they'd 1362 00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:51.840 be sick. So there's a bit of that, and I 1363 00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:54.920 mean I think also now, I mean, Danny, you just 1364 00:59:54.920 --> 00:59:56.719 pointed out how we've got a lot of Australians over 1365 00:59:56.719 --> 00:59:59.800 in America and they're making a fair dint. It's it's 1366 01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:03.199 so much further away back then, like even you're talking 1367 01:00:03.199 --> 01:00:05.800 about the Simpsons in ninety three, like America felt like 1368 01:00:06.599 --> 01:00:08.679 it was it was a world away, like it's not 1369 01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:12.000 too It wouldn't be unusual for, you know, one of 1370 01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:14.599 my kids mates to go over to America and come 1371 01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:17.360 back on holiday just randomly. When back then you're like 1372 01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:19.239 if anyone hit it over, like are you kidding me? 1373 01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:22.440 Walls at like like it would must have been mass a. 1374 01:00:22.519 --> 01:00:24.519 Friends of mine would go to America like on school 1375 01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:26.400 holidays and I go, I saw the New Details movie 1376 01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:28.159 six months before it. Then we come out here and 1377 01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:30.519 you're like, fuck, wow, how is this happening? 1378 01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:33.000 Well that was exactly right, wasn't it was? You would 1379 01:00:33.039 --> 01:00:35.119 get things. I mean, you talk about these Simpsons series, 1380 01:00:35.159 --> 01:00:37.360 I'm sure they would have aired two years after they 1381 01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:38.199 Woh yeah. 1382 01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:39.639 Well I think by the end we were about six 1383 01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:41.360 to eight months behind. I remember when the who Shot 1384 01:00:41.400 --> 01:00:43.559 Mister Burns thing? I always remember this a guy in 1385 01:00:43.559 --> 01:00:45.920 Australian radio. I can't I don't know who his name was, 1386 01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:49.559 but he got fired because what he did was he 1387 01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:52.719 found out who shot mister Burns because it was delayed 1388 01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:55.400 here in Australia and I were about to air the 1389 01:00:55.400 --> 01:00:58.360 premiere of season seven, which is part two of Who 1390 01:00:58.360 --> 01:01:00.280 Shot Mister Burns? Where it was like who done? Can 1391 01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:02.000 you believe it. And this is before the Internet, so 1392 01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:04.280 you know, most people didn't know, right, and we spent 1393 01:01:04.360 --> 01:01:06.599 all summer, work in winter or whatever was trying to 1394 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.280 work out who did it. And it's sort of like 1395 01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:10.239 this Lackey guy on the radio was like it was 1396 01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:13.239 a baby and you can just and it's like everyone's like, 1397 01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:16.199 what the fuck did you just do? Yeah? 1398 01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:18.360 Yeah, because you could did it because it wasn't any Internet. 1399 01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:21.400 The only experience I've ever had of that was Master 1400 01:01:21.440 --> 01:01:24.519 Sheef Australia, and I don't it still the case, but 1401 01:01:25.320 --> 01:01:28.039 it's pretty big in South Africa. And I did gigs 1402 01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:30.400 in like twenty ten in South Africa and they were 1403 01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:33.920 up to about season three of Master Chef like it was, 1404 01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:36.960 they were like six years behind. I'd never seen it before, and. 1405 01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:38.719 So Master Chef Australia is big over there. 1406 01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:41.079 It's big over there. And then I'm doing these gigs 1407 01:01:41.079 --> 01:01:43.440 and it was weird because I did a show and 1408 01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:45.920 again there's a lineup gigs and I was on with 1409 01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:47.840 some pretty heaby it is, to be honest in hindsight, 1410 01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:49.840 I was on gigs with like Trevor Noah and Theo 1411 01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:52.440 Vaughn and these. It was crazy and we're doing this 1412 01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:55.280 gig and Australia had just played South Africa in a 1413 01:01:55.360 --> 01:01:57.920 rugby union international, which, as we know from Geelong, we 1414 01:01:57.920 --> 01:02:01.639 don't care about rugby, but South Amparica's love rugby, and 1415 01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:04.360 Australia did beat South Africa. And then there's a gig 1416 01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:06.199 on that night and when I walked on stage, everyone 1417 01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:09.360 started barring because you know the jokes that people say 1418 01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:13.000 about New Zealanders like the fuck she well, they have 1419 01:02:13.079 --> 01:02:15.360 the same jokes about us, like it just seems to 1420 01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:16.760 pass around the southern hemispy. 1421 01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:17.159 I don't know. 1422 01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:20.599 And so I'm on stage they also barring like sheep, 1423 01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:22.199 and I'm like, what's going on? And then I actually 1424 01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:24.320 talk to the audience and they go, yeah, you know, 1425 01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:26.199 you guys are sleeping with sheep and I was like okay, 1426 01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:28.199 right yah. And then they're like, I'm like, are you 1427 01:02:28.280 --> 01:02:29.519 annoyed about the rugby gaming? 1428 01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:30.159 Like yeah, whatever? 1429 01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:31.639 Was like I said, I don't even follow it, I 1430 01:02:31.639 --> 01:02:33.400 don't even care, and they were all like boom boo, 1431 01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:35.199 and I said, RIGHTO, I'm going to let you all 1432 01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:37.599 know who won Season three of Marster Chef and then. 1433 01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:43.400 We'll be good. We had Reyo Leary on the show 1434 01:02:43.400 --> 01:02:44.679 a few weeks back, and he were saying that when 1435 01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:46.679 he goes to Scotland he has to kind of sort 1436 01:02:46.719 --> 01:02:49.039 of just completely change his routine to an extent, because 1437 01:02:49.199 --> 01:02:52.360 a lot of his jokes land in Australia, but over 1438 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:53.960 there they've got no idea what he's talking about. Do 1439 01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:55.599 you find that when you go do gigs overseas you 1440 01:02:55.639 --> 01:02:58.719 got to sort of change You might say a similar joke, 1441 01:02:58.760 --> 01:03:00.800 but you sort of tweak the pun flying to an extent. 1442 01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:06.840 I didn't. I didn't really found it too bad. I mean, 1443 01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:09.400 I again, I haven't been internationally for a while now. 1444 01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:13.679 I don't find it it was too much of a trouble. 1445 01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:15.840 I mean, obviously you take references out. There's no point 1446 01:03:15.880 --> 01:03:17.559 in pointing out you know, it was crossing the Yarra 1447 01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:19.679 River and they're like, well, yeah, I don't know what 1448 01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:22.400 that means. But I fainly. The funny thing is I 1449 01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:25.840 find posting clips online is funny because it's so many 1450 01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:28.199 times it is Americans, and I now Americans listen to 1451 01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:31.000 these podcasts where there's things like you'll do the British 1452 01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:33.920 spelling of something and people go, that's not real, and 1453 01:03:33.960 --> 01:03:37.280 you're like it is. It's another way of spelling it, 1454 01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:39.840 like it's just and there might be a turn of 1455 01:03:39.880 --> 01:03:41.840 phrase that people go, I even know what he's trying 1456 01:03:41.840 --> 01:03:44.119 to say, and you're like, I don't know, just look 1457 01:03:44.159 --> 01:03:47.480 it up. It's okay. Like English language does change slightly 1458 01:03:47.519 --> 01:03:48.480 in other places. 1459 01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:51.639 It's like how they say caramel instead of caramel, Like, 1460 01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:52.199 what are we doing? 1461 01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:54.280 Yeah, aluminum illumine. 1462 01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:56.960 What I always say about Americans is they took the 1463 01:03:57.000 --> 01:03:59.360 A out of caramel and they put it in paraplegic, 1464 01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:03.119 because it's like, I don't know how many Americans I've 1465 01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:06.760 heard use the term paraplegic, so even doing it. 1466 01:04:06.840 --> 01:04:09.840 Yeah, sorry, what yeah, yeah, I just do find it 1467 01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:12.039 quite just funny. I'm like, yeah, guys, like things have 1468 01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:14.280 things can be different overseas. It's okay. 1469 01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:16.599 But speaking speaking of writing comedy there, so Hom's right 1470 01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:18.800 in the roast here, Marge's isn't sure about whether this 1471 01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:20.679 is a good idea, and Lisa that I could work 1472 01:04:20.719 --> 01:04:23.760 if you treat this roast properly, and Homer brings up 1473 01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:26.480 the fact that he's got a killer send off an 1474 01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:28.280 impression of mister Burns where he draws his face in 1475 01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:30.400 his ars and turns around, drops his pants. Now, I'm 1476 01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:32.760 not too sure about this. The newspaper here burns his birthday, 1477 01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:35.119 his birthday has arrived, credits Long Life to Satan from 1478 01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:37.639 a billion dollars, and then Homer is greating. I love here. 1479 01:04:37.639 --> 01:04:39.639 So Home is getting ready. He's right into this. He's 1480 01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:42.000 taken it. He's taken a whole new moniker. He's got 1481 01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:44.519 the wet hair, he's holding a golf club, he's got 1482 01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:47.599 the jacket on. He's ready to go, and I love it. 1483 01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:49.519 So he mentions incontinent, and Lisa's like, do you even 1484 01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:53.280 know what it means? Lisa, don't spoil my fun Like 1485 01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:56.719 the joke. The joke works, but he has no idea 1486 01:04:56.760 --> 01:04:58.920 why it's funny. I just love the idea that, in 1487 01:04:58.960 --> 01:05:01.440 a scene that they've probably deleted, Home is watching old 1488 01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:04.920 roasts and just getting key buzzwords to say during his routine. 1489 01:05:05.639 --> 01:05:07.480 Well, that's the thing. I mean, I'm guessing that the 1490 01:05:07.880 --> 01:05:10.360 sports jacket and the golf club is probably a shatter 1491 01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:11.360 to someone like Bob Hope. 1492 01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:13.480 Yeah, Bobs, yeah, And I mean. 1493 01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:16.360 There are so many sort of quote unquote boom of 1494 01:05:16.400 --> 01:05:21.440 references throughout this episode that yeah, yeah, even I'm going 1495 01:05:21.519 --> 01:05:23.760 to count you in this day. But as young men, 1496 01:05:23.800 --> 01:05:26.239 you and I were watching this going not one hundred 1497 01:05:26.239 --> 01:05:29.599 percent sure I get exactly what they mean here, but yeah, 1498 01:05:29.679 --> 01:05:32.880 if you're in the waiver, in the groove, you'll probably 1499 01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:35.599 will find some way to look it up or I mean, 1500 01:05:35.639 --> 01:05:37.079 one thing I've always said about the sense is if 1501 01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:39.360 you're watching it with someone who knows a little bit 1502 01:05:39.360 --> 01:05:42.039 more than you do, they kind of turned into comic 1503 01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:43.840 book guy or a good version of comic book guys, 1504 01:05:43.880 --> 01:05:45.840 like you know what, you know what that actually means? 1505 01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:49.079 You know, you knew what they were referring to there. 1506 01:05:49.159 --> 01:05:50.920 That's me and watching the film with my wife, I 1507 01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:52.719 feel like I have to stop it.

He just really 1635 01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:43.199 just wants this stuff Teddy, because this episode, for all 1636 01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:46.079 the laughs, does have a genuine emotional. 1637 01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:47.520 Story through it, an emotional underpinning. 1638 01:11:47.560 --> 01:11:49.600 We get Bobo's journey here, so he arrived in New 1639 01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:52.439 York nine twenty seven, Lindy takes on the spirit of 1640 01:11:52.439 --> 01:11:55.640 Saint Louis, goes to Paris, throws the bear. 1641 01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:57.520 To Hitler and get some griet and he got to 1642 01:11:57.560 --> 01:11:58.119 Linda at the. 1643 01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:00.479 End of the World War.

I'm always a big 1653 01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:22.439 fan of a poo when he tries to improvise on 1654 01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:25.399 his feet, you know, when he's selling a dodgy product. 1655 01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:28.199 You know, this one's chock full of heady goodness.

Yeah, And it was funny when I started 1661 01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:46.199 playing the episodes to the kids, and it was a 1662 01:12:46.239 --> 01:12:50.239 scene from Home of the Heretic where he a Poo, 1663 01:12:50.319 --> 01:12:52.720 has to go help out with a fire and he 1664 01:12:52.800 --> 01:12:55.359 says to the Jimbo and the boys he goes, don't 1665 01:12:55.359 --> 01:12:57.840 steal anything, and they're like, oh, we won't. And then 1666 01:12:57.840 --> 01:13:00.760 he grabs this child from behind the counter and says 1667 01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:03.560 a little jump stop if you can look after the 1668 01:13:03.560 --> 01:13:06.079 store when I'm gone, And the kids have something waiting 1669 01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:10.520 for this moment, and Cox a double loaded rifle and 1670 01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:14.479 the guys are shocked, and I to my kids did 1671 01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:18.600 the Appoo thing, you know, going and quoting them, and 1672 01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:20.600 they lost their minds. They're like, this is the greatest 1673 01:13:20.600 --> 01:13:22.560 and wanting me to do it, and then we were 1674 01:13:22.600 --> 01:13:24.039 out at a cafe and they're like. 1675 01:13:24.079 --> 01:13:27.119 Do it, Dad? Do the boys? Dad? 1676 01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:31.199 Absolutely not? And I then stupidly like, then I had 1677 01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:32.640 to explain the situation of why not? 1678 01:13:33.479 --> 01:13:34.439 And it is. 1679 01:13:34.600 --> 01:13:36.319 It's a tough one, isn't it, because I can understand 1680 01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:40.680 where people coming from. But I know you've had some 1681 01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:42.399 of the people involved in the show before about it, 1682 01:13:42.439 --> 01:13:45.359 but they said it wasn't us lampooning him necessarily, it 1683 01:13:45.399 --> 01:13:47.359 was you know, Pooh is a nice character. We did 1684 01:13:47.359 --> 01:13:49.960 it with love, but I guess it was Hanka's area. 1685 01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:54.439 Is that right who voiced Yeah? And so I don't know, 1686 01:13:54.760 --> 01:13:56.239 as a straight white dude, I don't think I've got 1687 01:13:56.279 --> 01:13:57.119 to solve this bubble? 1688 01:13:57.199 --> 01:13:58.920 What's that learn from that South poat? We're staying out 1689 01:13:58.920 --> 01:13:59.199 of this one. 1690 01:13:59.279 --> 01:14:00.880 Yeah, gotta touch this one of a ten foot pole. 1691 01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:02.800 But yeah, so Bart finds it, thinks it's disease, so 1692 01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:04.119 he gives it to Maggie and this is where Maggie 1693 01:14:04.119 --> 01:14:05.720 gets her hands on Bobo the bear. We get the 1694 01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:07.680 cool shot of goes to the tag first of all 1695 01:14:07.720 --> 01:14:10.880 SS one hundred percent cotton. Then it's bobo name written 1696 01:14:10.880 --> 01:14:11.119 on the. 1697 01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:13.600 Tag, but instantly imprints I just love at first sight. 1698 01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:16.760 Yeah. Smithers then enters as a furry dressed as Bobo 1699 01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:19.319 the Bear tells him to tug at my fur, and 1700 01:14:19.359 --> 01:14:21.960 Burns is not having none of it. He tells Smithers 1701 01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:24.159 to go find his teddy. He says, leave the costume. 1702 01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:25.880 The Smithers is putting the face and all the milk 1703 01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:28.119 cartons we touched on earlier as well, and Homer's watching 1704 01:14:28.119 --> 01:14:29.840 the news report here about Bobo the Bear. I think 1705 01:14:29.840 --> 01:14:33.680 this scene was just purely there to explain why can't 1706 01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:35.359 Homer just see that the bear is the Actually he's 1707 01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:38.199 such an oblivious idiot, like the Brockman saying might be 1708 01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:39.600 held up, I love one right in front of your 1709 01:14:39.640 --> 01:14:42.159 face right now, and he's like, moldy old, I'm gonna 1710 01:14:42.159 --> 01:14:45.279 get something to eat. Then we have Frank with the 1711 01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:48.000 robot bear, who just ends up attacking Burns. Doesn't go well. 1712 01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:50.880 Then the scene where Homer finally realizes that they have Bobo. 1713 01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:53.199 Now is this music? Is this from a movie? This? 1714 01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:55.600 This feels like a movie parody with the music playing 1715 01:14:55.680 --> 01:14:56.359 and the old shot. 1716 01:14:56.439 --> 01:14:59.520 And I was always curious about this, and my curiosity 1717 01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:02.399 was not satisfied. Rewatching it for this episode, I was like, Yeah, 1718 01:15:02.399 --> 01:15:02.680 it's this. 1719 01:15:04.159 --> 01:15:06.520 You through the fish tank and the music's playing and the. 1720 01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:08.479 Music feels like Enya or something like that. 1721 01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:11.319 It feels like it feels like it's meant to be something. 1722 01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:14.960 It's such a cinematic type of sequence. Yeah that you think, oh, 1723 01:15:15.000 --> 01:15:17.920 they've got to be referencing something here, but goodness only 1724 01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:18.960 knows what now. 1725 01:15:19.000 --> 01:15:21.119 Guys, I hope you're enjoyed this week's show.

After you bea at a birthday party, 1773 01:17:21.720 --> 01:17:23.279 you would have had all this fried food and then 1774 01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:25.159 ice cream cake and then everyone's like, let's go on that. 1775 01:17:25.279 --> 01:17:27.239 And the amount of kids that yacked out the side 1776 01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:29.119 of that it was crazy. 1777 01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:31.439 Do you remember when the birthday parties to at macas 1778 01:17:31.439 --> 01:17:33.239 when they'd take the kids on a tour of the 1779 01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:36.039 kitchen and you just you get like ten kids just 1780 01:17:36.079 --> 01:17:38.560 walking around the kitchen while these teenagers are making cheeseburgers. 1781 01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:40.319 Did you ever have a McDonald's birthday party? 1782 01:17:40.479 --> 01:17:42.319 No, I did have a McDonald's party. You don't remember 1783 01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:45.239 the tours? I think, yeah, I don't remember any of that. 1784 01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:47.760 I mean, you're right, it's not the journey it used 1785 01:17:47.760 --> 01:17:49.960 to be. And I guess maybe it was built as 1786 01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:52.279 a bit of a special treat where now it's probably 1787 01:17:52.439 --> 01:17:53.800 just for hungover people. 1788 01:17:54.640 --> 01:17:56.439 Now McDonald's is cheaping and going to the supermarket and 1789 01:17:56.479 --> 01:17:58.800 buying your own food. So yeah, that is it. 1790 01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:01.520 I don't know you go in there, I mean, if 1791 01:18:01.560 --> 01:18:04.279 you if you're not doing the drive through, I mean, 1792 01:18:04.319 --> 01:18:07.800 if you actually go in. It sounds like it sounds 1793 01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:10.119 like the end scene from Terminator where she goes into 1794 01:18:10.159 --> 01:18:12.359 that goes into that factory and you know they turn 1795 01:18:12.399 --> 01:18:14.000 all the machines on because you can just hear it 1796 01:18:14.039 --> 01:18:20.560 from the back ground. I don't want this quarterbanda anymore. 1797 01:18:20.680 --> 01:18:22.359 I know you'll have to auder your food at a screen, 1798 01:18:22.359 --> 01:18:24.439 even though there's people there. I was like, he's like, no, no, 1799 01:18:24.560 --> 01:18:26.000 we don't take our orders here, we just give you 1800 01:18:26.039 --> 01:18:28.119 the food. I'm like, what do you mean I want 1801 01:18:28.159 --> 01:18:29.680 to I want to tell you what I want. 1802 01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:32.359 How else am I going to let you know that 1803 01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:33.800 I don't want pickles in this burger? 1804 01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:36.640 Yeah? I remember I had that at Subway recently, where 1805 01:18:36.640 --> 01:18:38.039 I did that and saying, think you just do it 1806 01:18:38.079 --> 01:18:40.239 on the screen I'm like, you're sitting in front of 1807 01:18:40.319 --> 01:18:44.359 the food, and I'll point out it's actually easier than 1808 01:18:44.399 --> 01:18:45.399 looking it up on the screen. 1809 01:18:45.560 --> 01:18:48.720 It's right there. You're a human being. I can't talk 1810 01:18:48.760 --> 01:18:51.600 to them old men shaving their fist. That clouds Yeah, exactly, 1811 01:18:52.439 --> 01:18:54.159 but basically here so least it says we should just 1812 01:18:54.199 --> 01:18:55.479 give it to him. The boys all laugh at them, 1813 01:18:55.520 --> 01:18:57.960 because as you would. And then Marsia just we should 1814 01:18:57.960 --> 01:18:59.600 say the eyeback on. But but has the idea or 1815 01:18:59.600 --> 01:19:01.439 send it to him because you'll offer more. He thinks 1816 01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:04.119 the bear's in trouble. And then Marge says, no, I'm 1817 01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:05.359 sure he'll make a fair off it that will make 1818 01:19:05.439 --> 01:19:07.000 him double it. I always love it when Marge gets 1819 01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:09.119 a little moments of greed and things like that. Very 1820 01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:12.520 unlike Marge. Then Homer shows mister Burns that he has Bobo. 1821 01:19:12.600 --> 01:19:14.720 He goes to his house and the moment you're touching 1822 01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:16.640 on earlier and he says, I can't really give you 1823 01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:19.199 much of a rewards. I'm strapped for cash, and the 1824 01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:22.520 place falls down and Homer then turns turns down the drink. 1825 01:19:22.600 --> 01:19:24.600 He turns down his first offer and leaves, and mister 1826 01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:26.600 burn says it won't take him long to crack, cuts 1827 01:19:26.600 --> 01:19:29.560 to mister Homer's neck actually cracking, tries to call him back, 1828 01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:31.119 maybe I can still get that drink, and you found 1829 01:19:31.119 --> 01:19:34.000 me have to stop him from calling back. Then burns 1830 01:19:34.039 --> 01:19:36.960 and smithers. They arrive at the home and Homer asks 1831 01:19:37.000 --> 01:19:40.199 for a million dollars and three Hawaiian islands, the good ones, 1832 01:19:40.239 --> 01:19:45.039 not the leper one. And unfortunately it's stuck. It's because 1833 01:19:45.079 --> 01:19:47.960 Maggie doesn't want to let it go. Now we've both 1834 01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:50.239 touched on how we're parents here right young kids. We 1835 01:19:50.359 --> 01:19:53.079 love our kids to death. Do anything for him. I'm sorry, 1836 01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:55.840 but if this bear is the difference between me being 1837 01:19:55.840 --> 01:19:58.359 a millionaire and not being a millionaire, I'm snatching that 1838 01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:00.119 bear to that kid's hand. I'm giving it to the 1839 01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:01.680 billionaire billionaire. What about you? 1840 01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:06.199 You know this is it's funny. I've never thought about 1841 01:20:06.239 --> 01:20:09.000 this again until now, Which is I found out my 1842 01:20:09.159 --> 01:20:13.079 eldest had a bear that she loved, and then my 1843 01:20:13.720 --> 01:20:16.880 partner said, yeah, she loves that bear. Is that funny? 1844 01:20:17.279 --> 01:20:18.920 My ex gave it to me and I just never 1845 01:20:19.000 --> 01:20:20.960 cared for it. And I said, so what she said, Yeah, 1846 01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:22.479 my ex gave me that bear. I just let it 1847 01:20:22.560 --> 01:20:24.239 sit there, but it's good that she's playing with it. 1848 01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:26.720 And I'm like, no, no, no, that's your ex. 1849 01:20:27.479 --> 01:20:28.479 Why would you tell me this? 1850 01:20:28.760 --> 01:20:31.479 And then there was here in Australia. It's a show 1851 01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:33.800 called Hugh's If We Have a Problem, hosted by Dave Hughes. 1852 01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:35.960 And then the producers are like is there a problem? 1853 01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:37.680 Like this is a problem, and they're like what would 1854 01:20:37.680 --> 01:20:39.439 you do? Would you bring a bear in? I'm like absolutely, 1855 01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:42.520 And I decapitated the bear on the air because I 1856 01:20:42.680 --> 01:20:45.000 was like, my child does not need this. I don't 1857 01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:47.640 want to know that my ex, that my partner's ex 1858 01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:51.600 is giving my child joy. So it's all off. And 1859 01:20:52.239 --> 01:20:54.600 so I've done this for no money. I mean I 1860 01:20:54.760 --> 01:20:57.720 just did it on air because it was fun television. 1861 01:20:57.880 --> 01:21:01.640 So yeah, for a million dollars, absolutely, I would rip 1862 01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:02.840 that bear out of that child. 1863 01:21:02.920 --> 01:21:05.399 Can sorry, kid, you'll thank me one day. 1864 01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:07.640 I mean, I love my kids, but just someone said 1865 01:21:07.640 --> 01:21:08.960 I'll give you a million dollars one I'm I'll be like, 1866 01:21:09.159 --> 01:21:10.720 I'm just gonna think about this for a second. Hang 1867 01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:12.640 on a second, yink? 1868 01:21:12.920 --> 01:21:16.359 Yeah get the Simpsons created that turn yink? I do? Yeah, 1869 01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:18.800 I did not realize this, did Dan I use your 1870 01:21:18.880 --> 01:21:22.119 yo time? Yeah? Yoink is a Simpsons line they made. Yeah, 1871 01:21:23.239 --> 01:21:23.439 is that. 1872 01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:27.159 Because I've seen Dan Cason Aller get interviewed where a 1873 01:21:27.239 --> 01:21:29.199 lot of those voice guys are there fans of old 1874 01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:34.359 Fordville performers, and they've stolen a lot of those, you know, 1875 01:21:34.640 --> 01:21:38.319 because yoink does feel like a nineteen twenties frames, you 1876 01:21:38.399 --> 01:21:39.960 know what I mean, Like someone wud be on stage going, 1877 01:21:40.039 --> 01:21:41.279 oh hell we ow boys. 1878 01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:42.439 How are next thing? 1879 01:21:42.479 --> 01:21:44.359 You know, the big cane comes out and graz around 1880 01:21:44.359 --> 01:21:44.680 the neck. 1881 01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:47.479 Yink totally, or something you've seen like a comic book, 1882 01:21:47.680 --> 01:21:49.000 you know, like a batmanlink. 1883 01:21:49.920 --> 01:21:51.840 Yes, the old Batman's here. Yeah, that's true. 1884 01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:54.319 But this is where they say we don't need your money. 1885 01:21:54.359 --> 01:21:57.239 He leaves you made a terrible mistake and then smashes 1886 01:21:57.279 --> 01:21:59.960 through the window in his car. He's hit three people 1887 01:22:00.000 --> 01:22:02.279 when he's got no assurance. Then Burns and Smith. This 1888 01:22:02.319 --> 01:22:04.039 is the moment you're talking on earlier, where they try 1889 01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:06.199 sneaking onto the roof. They gas out Flanders and then 1890 01:22:06.239 --> 01:22:08.920 they get stuck in between. Margin offers some cocoa with 1891 01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:11.399 some cocoa, yes, then we get the suction cups on 1892 01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:14.079 the roof. Now your thoughts and the sixty four slices 1893 01:22:14.079 --> 01:22:15.960 of American Cheese. This is one of the most iconic 1894 01:22:16.079 --> 01:22:18.800 moments in the history of the Simpsons. I can't quite 1895 01:22:19.199 --> 01:22:22.239 pinpoint why I found this so funny, but I just 1896 01:22:22.319 --> 01:22:23.920 think it's just it's so I think it's just got 1897 01:22:24.159 --> 01:22:27.119 so ludicrous. And the fact that Homer it's the one time, 1898 01:22:27.279 --> 01:22:28.640 one of the many, one of the few times his 1899 01:22:29.079 --> 01:22:31.880 love of food has worked in his favor because he 1900 01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:34.000 is preventing them. He's foiling their plan to get the 1901 01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:36.319 bear by eating all this cheese all night. 1902 01:22:37.239 --> 01:22:39.760 Is he doing this deliberately or is he sleepwalking? 1903 01:22:39.800 --> 01:22:42.479 No sleep? He's sleep eating, sleep eating You think, okay? 1904 01:22:42.800 --> 01:22:49.960 Just that true? One eating cheese? I think I'm blind. 1905 01:22:51.439 --> 01:22:53.520 He's got plenty of sees it all the way through, though, 1906 01:22:53.600 --> 01:22:54.279 Well done. 1907 01:22:55.840 --> 01:22:58.840 Chexty voice Laces of American Cheese. 1908 01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:03.920 Four three. 1909 01:23:14.279 --> 01:23:16.680 Have you been up on night eating cheese? 1910 01:23:17.399 --> 01:23:18.720 I think I'm blind? 1911 01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:27.680 Oh what's your idea of a perfect midnight snack? 1912 01:23:27.760 --> 01:23:30.000 Dave? I don't mind cheese, to be honest. So even 1913 01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:32.000 when I was a kid, I watched that and thought, yeah, 1914 01:23:32.079 --> 01:23:33.039 that does make sense. 1915 01:23:33.960 --> 01:23:36.279 Are you Are you like the thick like proper cheese 1916 01:23:36.359 --> 01:23:38.159 or you that's like the Kraft singles kind of guy 1917 01:23:38.239 --> 01:23:38.920 though as. 1918 01:23:38.800 --> 01:23:41.960 A kid singles. But now, I mean you have cheese 1919 01:23:42.000 --> 01:23:43.880 platters as an adult to think, oh, yeah, this is 1920 01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:46.079 adult food. But it's the same concept, is it not? 1921 01:23:46.399 --> 01:23:52.800 You eating cheese downing in with some wine, going what 1922 01:23:52.960 --> 01:23:54.520 kind of dreams am I going to have tonight? We'll 1923 01:23:54.560 --> 01:23:58.159 see how this sorts itself out. But yeah, that's sixty 1924 01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:01.239 four slaves of American cheese. Is just that lives rend 1925 01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:02.760 free in my head. I don't know what it is, 1926 01:24:02.840 --> 01:24:04.359 and I don't even know if sixty four slides of 1927 01:24:04.399 --> 01:24:06.439 American jews was a thing like they came in packets 1928 01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:08.960 of sixty four. I don't know, but I found it 1929 01:24:09.079 --> 01:24:10.920 funny in the moment, and I still find it funny now. 1930 01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:13.600 And even just when burns and spinners dropping near the 1931 01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:15.319 suckers good deed. 1932 01:24:16.359 --> 01:24:22.720 Good deed, they're still blight about it. Then homers at work, 1933 01:24:23.279 --> 01:24:25.039 random workers are asking they want to see the geeky 1934 01:24:25.079 --> 01:24:27.600 vote he happens to his children more than money. Then 1935 01:24:27.640 --> 01:24:30.119 smither says report for much worse duties, which is him 1936 01:24:30.159 --> 01:24:32.960 being whipped whilst he's making the little donut thing spin around. 1937 01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:36.239 Homan then offers Maggie a cardboard box. Is one of 1938 01:24:36.279 --> 01:24:38.119 the scenes that was edited out of TV. And what 1939 01:24:38.199 --> 01:24:40.359 I liked about this here is Maggie seems like she's 1940 01:24:40.600 --> 01:24:43.199 keen on the box, so this could potentially could have worked. 1941 01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:45.479 But Homer, being the that is, he was more interested 1942 01:24:45.479 --> 01:24:46.640 in the box and he took it away from that, 1943 01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:49.359 so he followed his own plan here. Then March says 1944 01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:50.880 they need a new hair dryer, and he says, I 1945 01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:52.279 think he must he must hate me for not taking 1946 01:24:52.319 --> 01:24:53.800 that money. She's like, no, I'm proud of you. And 1947 01:24:53.880 --> 01:24:55.439 we get that. He pulls out the box once again. 1948 01:24:56.079 --> 01:24:58.880 Then Maggie is watching Barney. I don't know why this 1949 01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:01.960 sticks with me, but the two two is for That's 1950 01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:04.000 just something that's just sometimes I'm just walking around, I'll 1951 01:25:04.039 --> 01:25:05.720 just hear that in my head. I'm like, why why 1952 01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:07.279 do I hear that in my head? Just that that. 1953 01:25:07.760 --> 01:25:09.920 But but Barney was such a big part of my child. 1954 01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:11.960 I was young in the nineties, so we watch a 1955 01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:15.119 lot of Barney. We rag on marketing people a fair bit. 1956 01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:17.880 But honestly, they are evil geniuses. I mean, if they 1957 01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:19.880 came up with two ll be Patty special sauce. There's 1958 01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:21.800 cheese pickles only in the sesame seed bun, which I 1959 01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:25.119 can still recide to this day. Or just the simple 1960 01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:27.600 ship that Barney was saying that nonetheless gets stuck in 1961 01:25:27.720 --> 01:25:29.920 kids' heads and you know, get some learning arithmetic. It's 1962 01:25:29.960 --> 01:25:30.960 still pretty wild. 1963 01:25:31.680 --> 01:25:34.199 Yeah, and I just love that home. It's like no 1964 01:25:34.319 --> 01:25:35.199 wonder pul like this. 1965 01:25:37.479 --> 01:25:40.640 Love and this is unfortunate where Burns starts taking over. 1966 01:25:40.680 --> 01:25:43.920 The TV gets to the Sole mass Transit System aerobic show. 1967 01:25:43.920 --> 01:25:46.680 I guess it is the bumblebee Man Sole. 1968 01:25:46.560 --> 01:25:48.239 Mass Transitism you know that is No, I don't know 1969 01:25:48.279 --> 01:25:50.239 what that is. That's a riff on soul train, you know, 1970 01:25:50.399 --> 01:25:53.880 soul trainers, right, no trains like it was like the 1971 01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:57.000 American version of count the Black American version of Countdown. Ah, 1972 01:25:57.640 --> 01:25:59.279 they have soul music all the time and you would 1973 01:25:59.319 --> 01:26:01.640 always have people dancing on it. Okay, I think there's 1974 01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:02.199 old footage. 1975 01:26:02.600 --> 01:26:03.439 Why would I know this? 1976 01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:04.560 Why would you not? 1977 01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:07.520 Yeah, and it's money that the mass transit system would 1978 01:26:07.560 --> 01:26:10.359 have been the dig like they can't trademark, they can't 1979 01:26:10.479 --> 01:26:13.640 use soul training. Yeah, Soul mass transit system. 1980 01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:14.640 There we go. 1981 01:26:14.840 --> 01:26:17.560 I want to say, there's like footage, like archival footage 1982 01:26:17.560 --> 01:26:20.319 of like Samuel L. Jackson dancing on Soul Train or something. 1983 01:26:20.439 --> 01:26:22.359 Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I really don't need to google this, 1984 01:26:22.439 --> 01:26:25.439 but they're like, yeah, some famous star is on there, 1985 01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:27.319 just grooving in the background or something. 1986 01:26:27.399 --> 01:26:29.920 But Burns has taken over all seventy eight channels, and 1987 01:26:30.039 --> 01:26:32.199 you think he says to Homer, you think they're gonna 1988 01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:34.039 be fine because you've got beer. Well, unfortunately I've diverted 1989 01:26:34.039 --> 01:26:36.760 all beer trucks from Springfield. Really good music queue here, 1990 01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:38.640 and he says that the rest of you beer swelling 1991 01:26:38.680 --> 01:26:41.600 two jockeys have a problem. Talk to Homer Simpson. At 1992 01:26:41.600 --> 01:26:43.239 the Barney moment, you're touching on who's at the doors 1993 01:26:43.239 --> 01:26:46.319 with the gun, which is a lot of confronting visual, 1994 01:26:46.359 --> 01:26:47.880 but you're just kind of like, oh shit, because you 1995 01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:50.239 know you're gonna shoot Homer. But then he slams a 1996 01:26:50.279 --> 01:26:51.720 door on his face. Here's a going to go off. 1997 01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:53.520 Obviously shot a woman, and that's the end of that. 1998 01:26:53.720 --> 01:26:55.880 It doesn't really play well at six pm on Channel 1999 01:26:55.920 --> 01:26:57.039 ten on a week made. 2000 01:26:58.279 --> 01:27:00.000 The bullies aren't about to beat up Bart at score 2001 01:27:00.119 --> 01:27:03.279 because Nelson's dad can't get a beer. But that Martin 2002 01:27:03.319 --> 01:27:05.199 interrupts him with the first snap dragon of the season. 2003 01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:06.920 That's one of your favorite characters, right. 2004 01:27:07.880 --> 01:27:10.119 What's not to love about it? He is so happy 2005 01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:12.800 with the first step rag in the season, little sagean 2006 01:27:12.920 --> 01:27:14.760 shoes and you know, well, day your shoes will be 2007 01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:15.439 a spicy treat. 2008 01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:19.640 Now we get the Smithers Burns sitcom, the classic yes moment. 2009 01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:21.920 Smithers I'm home? 2010 01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:25.960 What already? 2011 01:27:28.039 --> 01:27:28.239 Yes? 2012 01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:33.600 Is it my imaginationized TV getting worse? 2013 01:27:35.239 --> 01:27:35.399 Oh? 2014 01:27:35.800 --> 01:27:36.359 You got. 2015 01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:42.680 I love this? What do you think this sitcom was called? 2016 01:27:42.840 --> 01:27:44.800 It's like a regular odd couple sitcom, but they seem 2017 01:27:44.840 --> 01:27:47.479 like they get along. But what's what's that sitcom called? 2018 01:27:47.520 --> 01:27:49.399 Do you think it's called burns? 2019 01:27:49.520 --> 01:27:50.840 Notice burns?

Maggie's sad, so they go back 2031 01:28:17.159 --> 01:28:18.640 in and they go to sing songs at the hospital. 2032 01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:20.079 Give them the word mob a bad name. 2033 01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:23.560 Yeah, Burns and comes to get spidtherstew beg one more time. 2034 01:28:23.640 --> 01:28:26.600 He's conceding, look you've won, and Homan then says, look, 2035 01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:29.239 it's not up to me. It's it's Maggie's bear. It's 2036 01:28:29.239 --> 01:28:30.319 not up to me to go back to you. So 2037 01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:32.560 he goes to see Maggie. He approaches the sandpit. Great 2038 01:28:32.600 --> 01:28:34.880 shot here of we're seeing it from Maggie's point of view. 2039 01:28:34.920 --> 01:28:36.920 She's looking up at Burns. He's towering over her. So 2040 01:28:37.039 --> 01:28:39.560 she clings onto the bear and she offers him her dummy, 2041 01:28:40.079 --> 01:28:41.680 and we hit the paparazzo. Take the photo of him 2042 01:28:41.680 --> 01:28:43.840 trying the dummy. We'll get to the best pup. Riad's 2043 01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:45.479 a bit in the second though. He then tries to 2044 01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:48.439 tricker and tries to snash the bear. He can't beaten 2045 01:28:48.520 --> 01:28:50.119 by an infant. What could be more humiliating? 2046 01:28:50.319 --> 01:28:50.840 What a scoop? 2047 01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:57.279 What a scoop? Damn you, what a scoop. It's just 2048 01:28:57.399 --> 01:28:58.319 one of the funniest things. 2049 01:28:58.800 --> 01:29:01.279 I was telling the Dano the start of my writing career. 2050 01:29:01.319 --> 01:29:07.319 I've worked at Forte down here un forte yes, and yeah, 2051 01:29:07.359 --> 01:29:09.119 we were just sort of, you know, covering local bands 2052 01:29:09.159 --> 01:29:12.039 and things like that. But my fellow journals and I 2053 01:29:12.079 --> 01:29:15.640 went off and say, what a scoops? Hey, we've got 2054 01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:16.760 an interview with Stephen Cummings. 2055 01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:17.479 What a school. 2056 01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:22.000 Do you have any? Do you have any quotes in 2057 01:29:22.039 --> 01:29:23.880 your life? Dave that you say very often that you 2058 01:29:23.960 --> 01:29:25.560 sort of you knew that from the Simpsons, but you 2059 01:29:25.640 --> 01:29:27.760 might have forgotten they came from the Simpsons, and you go, what, oh, 2060 01:29:27.880 --> 01:29:30.119 that's right, it's from that Simpsons episode. Like what a scoop? 2061 01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:31.119 For me was a big one. I was like, oh, 2062 01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:32.600 it's from the Simpsons. Yes. 2063 01:29:32.800 --> 01:29:35.880 And then also when I'm trying to think the movie, 2064 01:29:35.880 --> 01:29:37.640 I think it was a Krusty movie or the Ittune 2065 01:29:37.640 --> 01:29:39.199 Scratchy movie. And they're all waiting to go to the 2066 01:29:39.279 --> 01:29:41.920 cinema and one of the bridges goes up like it 2067 01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:43.960 does like London Bridge does when a prison and a 2068 01:29:44.039 --> 01:29:46.239 guy goes yeah. 2069 01:29:48.720 --> 01:29:52.520 I say that a lot, ah man, But yeah, So 2070 01:29:52.560 --> 01:29:54.159 mister Burns gives up and gets a photo taken of 2071 01:29:54.279 --> 01:29:56.119 and what a scoop? He says to her, Look, don't 2072 01:29:56.159 --> 01:29:58.279 make the same mistakes I did. He's conceided look you 2073 01:29:58.399 --> 01:30:00.399 when you can have the bear. And because of this, 2074 01:30:00.680 --> 01:30:02.079 because he says, look, you can have the bear, just 2075 01:30:02.159 --> 01:30:04.079 look after it, she says, you know what, you can 2076 01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:06.439 have your bear back in it for me, Bobo, and 2077 01:30:06.560 --> 01:30:08.520 he clings on to it, and he says, I'm actually happy. 2078 01:30:08.600 --> 01:30:10.760 Take note, Smithers, I'll only be good and kind to 2079 01:30:10.840 --> 01:30:13.359 everyone going forward. I've got no pencil. I'm sure I'll 2080 01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:15.600 remember it. And as we get the ending, where Homer says, 2081 01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:17.039 I'm not sure it's a happy you're a sad ending. 2082 01:30:17.079 --> 01:30:19.239 It's an ending that's enough, and Birds is now in 2083 01:30:19.319 --> 01:30:21.680 bed with Bobo. He's having a dream here about the 2084 01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:24.520 future with the future holes. For Bobo, it's a million ad. 2085 01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:26.720 The monkey's now in charge. Planet of the APPEs reference 2086 01:30:26.760 --> 01:30:29.079 home is getting whipped. He's now the horse, I guess 2087 01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:31.479 you could say. And then he says, I know I 2088 01:30:31.520 --> 01:30:33.199 said this every century, Bobo, but I'll never leave you 2089 01:30:33.239 --> 01:30:35.239 behind again, runs off as a robot and Smithers is 2090 01:30:35.279 --> 01:30:36.880 a robot dog. And that's the end of Rosebud. 2091 01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:38.319 Yeah, with a little bit of Planet of the Apes 2092 01:30:38.399 --> 01:30:40.159 music over the closing credits. 2093 01:30:40.199 --> 01:30:42.119 Yeah, just there's so much to one pack there. I 2094 01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:44.039 think there's jokes we skimmed over, but it was just 2095 01:30:44.039 --> 01:30:45.760 would have taken too long. But yeah, thank you for 2096 01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:48.560 choosing Rose by Day. Fantastic episode and it's one that 2097 01:30:48.680 --> 01:30:52.239 I for some reason never revisit all that often. And 2098 01:30:52.359 --> 01:30:54.960 then I'll put this on I went. I forgot how 2099 01:30:55.760 --> 01:30:57.960 incredible this one was because it always gets put into 2100 01:30:57.960 --> 01:31:00.399 the same sort of category as like mar Address of 2101 01:31:00.439 --> 01:31:02.920 the Monorail and whatnot when it comes to greatest episodes 2102 01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:05.760 of all time. But as much as I enjoy Margress 2103 01:31:05.760 --> 01:31:07.439 of the Monorail, I feel like it's become sort of 2104 01:31:07.560 --> 01:31:09.760 just the easy go to for what's the best episode 2105 01:31:09.760 --> 01:31:11.840 of all time? It's funny, but I think this one 2106 01:31:12.039 --> 01:31:14.279 is a lot funnier than Margress of the Monorail. 2107 01:31:14.640 --> 01:31:17.159 Yeah, I think it's hilarious. And I also I'm throwing 2108 01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:18.880 this to you two guys who know a lot more 2109 01:31:18.920 --> 01:31:21.039 about this than me. Do you think that last scene, 2110 01:31:21.079 --> 01:31:23.239 I know it's a planet of the apes were referenced, 2111 01:31:23.560 --> 01:31:26.640 but the head and the jar? Is that where Futurama 2112 01:31:26.880 --> 01:31:30.159 the first idea. That's the first time I'd seen something 2113 01:31:30.279 --> 01:31:31.760 like that. I don't feel like a head in a 2114 01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:34.680 jar is not planning of the apes. I don't think no, 2115 01:31:34.960 --> 01:31:35.680 not at all. 2116 01:31:35.840 --> 01:31:38.000 So that was like the gimmick all the celebrities from 2117 01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:40.640 the from from now in the year three thousand, we're 2118 01:31:40.640 --> 01:31:43.359 all heads in a jar for Futurama. Not too sure. 2119 01:31:43.399 --> 01:31:45.079 Maybe they've got that, maybe they like that visual. They 2120 01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:47.039 could have been it. I thought that could work.

I 2170 01:33:57.199 --> 01:33:58.640 can imagine why you'd want to move out of it. 2171 01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:02.359 I mean, that's not a great deal better now, but 2172 01:34:02.640 --> 01:34:04.680 it's certainly better than what it was twenty years ago. 2173 01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:07.079 I used to defend it all the time in Melbourne 2174 01:34:07.079 --> 01:34:08.840 because people would That's the thing I. 2175 01:34:08.880 --> 01:34:10.199 Was going to ask you, do you have to constantly 2176 01:34:10.239 --> 01:34:12.880 feel like do you tell people in Melbourne I'm from 2177 01:34:12.960 --> 01:34:15.159 Geelong or it's just easier not to No. 2178 01:34:15.520 --> 01:34:17.640 I tell them I'll always be proud about it. And 2179 01:34:17.720 --> 01:34:21.039 then well, this is very specific because people and sometimes 2180 01:34:21.079 --> 01:34:23.039 in Melbourne when I was first heading out my twenties, 2181 01:34:23.039 --> 01:34:24.479 they'd be like what school did you go to, which 2182 01:34:24.520 --> 01:34:28.119 is that's an interesting question. But I'd go Belmont High School, 2183 01:34:28.600 --> 01:34:30.279 and because I'd say it so quickly, they'd go on 2184 01:34:30.359 --> 01:34:33.279 Melbourne High and I'm like, oh, no, I went to 2185 01:34:34.159 --> 01:34:37.600 a suburban high school in Geelong. And then they're like, oh, Geelong. 2186 01:34:37.680 --> 01:34:40.920 And this was always my thing. When a new story 2187 01:34:40.960 --> 01:34:43.720 comes out, it's like, you know, a stabbing happened in Geelong, 2188 01:34:43.720 --> 01:34:45.079 and I was like, hang on a second, I know 2189 01:34:45.159 --> 01:34:47.600 where it happened in Geelong. There's certain areas where that 2190 01:34:47.800 --> 01:34:50.079 absolutely happened. And I said, when you're in a major 2191 01:34:50.159 --> 01:34:52.720 city like Melbourne, people would go, oh, there was a 2192 01:34:52.800 --> 01:34:55.680 stabbing in whatever suburb and you go yeah, because they 2193 01:34:55.720 --> 01:34:58.560 specifically understand that, but they would lump Gelong into one thing, 2194 01:34:58.600 --> 01:35:03.439 and I'm like, we've also got trap suburbs, okay, so yeah, 2195 01:35:03.520 --> 01:35:06.079 of course, and it did. It has gotten a hell 2196 01:35:06.119 --> 01:35:08.199 of a lot better. And I think because we like 2197 01:35:08.279 --> 01:35:10.880 heading down the coast down there, so quite off a 2198 01:35:10.960 --> 01:35:12.800 head through Geelong and my mum's still down there, my 2199 01:35:12.920 --> 01:35:15.720 brother and some really good mates, so yeah, I'm always 2200 01:35:15.720 --> 01:35:16.079 heading there. 2201 01:35:16.680 --> 01:35:20.439 I always put it's a direct correlation. But when the 2202 01:35:20.520 --> 01:35:23.319 cats got good, I feel like Geelong started to lift 2203 01:35:23.359 --> 01:35:25.960 its game as a city. It's like the city itself 2204 01:35:26.039 --> 01:35:28.399 just became a bit of a happier place to be around. 2205 01:35:28.439 --> 01:35:30.800 I think, because it's weird. Sports teams just have that 2206 01:35:30.960 --> 01:35:34.079 impact on regional towns and regional cities. When that team's 2207 01:35:34.119 --> 01:35:36.199 doing well, the city feels everyone's walking around with the 2208 01:35:36.199 --> 01:35:36.880 spring in their step. 2209 01:35:37.000 --> 01:35:38.880 Oh absolutely. And I always used to say when I 2210 01:35:38.920 --> 01:35:41.479 was working for the Audy, it's like, that's the Gelong 2211 01:35:41.479 --> 01:35:44.119 advertised by the way, the local paper of record. It's 2212 01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:47.159 like without crime and the cats. You know, we're basically 2213 01:35:47.199 --> 01:35:47.680 a pamphlet. 2214 01:35:51.720 --> 01:35:53.560 I mean it's kind of true. And I mean through 2215 01:35:53.640 --> 01:35:56.560 the nineties it was strange because we would make Grand 2216 01:35:56.600 --> 01:36:00.720 finals and lose them, and it was heartbreaking because somehow 2217 01:36:01.079 --> 01:36:05.640 becoming constantly second makes you feel somewhat worse, like you 2218 01:36:05.920 --> 01:36:08.439 just like see we will all and Sleepy Hollow was 2219 01:36:08.520 --> 01:36:10.479 this moniker that people would use and think it was. 2220 01:36:10.760 --> 01:36:12.720 But I mean in the eighties and guy, you remember, 2221 01:36:12.800 --> 01:36:16.159 this industry was closing down, like four was closing down, 2222 01:36:16.239 --> 01:36:18.880 Shell was closing down, Pyramid closed down, and so it 2223 01:36:19.119 --> 01:36:21.239 was we did cop it, and we copped it pretty hard. 2224 01:36:21.399 --> 01:36:23.640 But Pyramid was a big hit. 2225 01:36:24.119 --> 01:36:27.159 It was a big hit, and the and then so 2226 01:36:27.319 --> 01:36:29.439 now we've I mean I always saying it, I would 2227 01:36:29.479 --> 01:36:31.039 prefer to move to Gelng, that I would to the 2228 01:36:31.039 --> 01:36:33.000 outer suburbs of Melbourne. That it's probably going to take 2229 01:36:33.079 --> 01:36:35.399 just as long to get into Melbourne anyway. But also 2230 01:36:35.479 --> 01:36:39.319 we're near the coasts and it's great. Now, yeah, you're 2231 01:36:39.399 --> 01:36:39.600 right there. 2232 01:36:39.600 --> 01:36:41.119 It did feel for a while Whenjel would always come 2233 01:36:41.159 --> 01:36:42.600 a second it's like, you know, someone we said, the 2234 01:36:42.640 --> 01:36:44.720 lesson is never tried, Like what's the fucking point in trying? 2235 01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:47.439 You know we're never going to win it, so what's 2236 01:36:47.479 --> 01:36:47.800 the point. 2237 01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:52.439 Yeah, I remember doing ninety five. I remember us losing 2238 01:36:52.479 --> 01:36:54.840 to Carlton. At halftime, we just went out for kick 2239 01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:57.199 to kick with mates and then never went back, like 2240 01:36:57.479 --> 01:36:59.439 why would we keep watching the rest of this game. 2241 01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:03.560 That's my earliest football memory is Patron of the show 2242 01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:05.079 my uncle Darren, right, he's the one that got me 2243 01:37:05.119 --> 01:37:08.039 into footy. Right. This memory had a east had remember 2244 01:37:08.119 --> 01:37:10.520 half Cat, your mascot of the Cats, and a big 2245 01:37:10.600 --> 01:37:13.600 cardboard cutout of this half Cat. And obviously my uncle 2246 01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:15.520 hid live through the hard years and it was nine 2247 01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:18.000 ninety five. They getting smashed by ten goals by Carlton. 2248 01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:20.000 My memory is of Michael d had to stabbing his 2249 01:37:20.039 --> 01:37:22.760 cardboard cat to a million pieces like he'd had enough. 2250 01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:26.000 That's my earliest football memories. A Geelong fans stabbing the 2251 01:37:26.079 --> 01:37:26.840 mascot to death. 2252 01:37:27.760 --> 01:37:29.560 Well, it was also a time in the football player 2253 01:37:29.560 --> 01:37:31.720 didn't even want to live in Geelong. Like there were 2254 01:37:31.800 --> 01:37:33.840 stories of John Barnes who'd go, yeah, we'll come down 2255 01:37:33.880 --> 01:37:35.359 my training and then I head back up. Oh why 2256 01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:38.359 would I live there? So it was always that and 2257 01:37:38.479 --> 01:37:40.640 then you're right, we start winning. I mean when we 2258 01:37:40.720 --> 01:37:43.279 lost the Grand Final last year, I was I couldn't 2259 01:37:43.279 --> 01:37:46.720 get tickets luckily in hindsight, and I was with watching 2260 01:37:46.760 --> 01:37:48.439 it with all friends who are all going for Brisbane 2261 01:37:48.439 --> 01:37:51.039 because they just hated our success and then they hated 2262 01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:52.239 me even more when at the end of it, I 2263 01:37:52.319 --> 01:37:55.239 was like, ah, well, I mean, you know, that's another 2264 01:37:55.319 --> 01:37:57.600 Grand Final loss. But I've now seen I think seven 2265 01:37:57.720 --> 01:38:00.279 and we've won three or four and they're like, shat up. 2266 01:38:00.960 --> 01:38:03.239 Yeah we went in a couple of years ago. 2267 01:38:03.760 --> 01:38:06.920 We're fine, I know, and so you're right, you kind 2268 01:38:06.920 --> 01:38:08.840 of get up and about so before. 2269 01:38:08.560 --> 01:38:10.600 We let you go, though, we do ask everybody this question. 2270 01:38:10.800 --> 01:38:12.880 So it's nineteen ninety eight. Channel ten of asked you 2271 01:38:12.960 --> 01:38:16.000 to put together a Friday night Simpsons marathon consisting of 2272 01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:18.760 five episodes. Which episodes are you choosing and why? And 2273 01:38:18.800 --> 01:38:19.840 which one are you beginning with? 2274 01:38:20.319 --> 01:38:25.399 Oh, I'm beginning with this might be Recncy bias because 2275 01:38:25.399 --> 01:38:27.439 I did watch this with the kids. That the episode 2276 01:38:27.479 --> 01:38:31.600 I Love Lisa with Ralph Wigham, and I love it 2277 01:38:31.720 --> 01:38:33.920 because there's so many quotes from it that I just 2278 01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:36.640 you choose me and all that kind of stuff. But 2279 01:38:36.800 --> 01:38:40.640 also it's the one with the Krusty's twenty ninth anniversary special, 2280 01:38:40.840 --> 01:38:43.399 and I still quote that thing when he goes, who's 2281 01:38:43.399 --> 01:38:45.960 going to remember a sage shell? Rahem? And he's next 2282 01:38:46.000 --> 01:38:50.239 to this melot of black panther African American guy and 2283 01:38:50.359 --> 01:38:53.359 Krusty in the seventies, and Krusty goes the scripts that 2284 01:38:53.399 --> 01:38:55.079 I should hit you over the head with this hammer 2285 01:38:55.119 --> 01:38:59.880 and says, oh, wouldn't, Ah, I wouldn't. It cuts back 2286 01:38:59.880 --> 01:39:02.119 to him in the audience and he goes angry, angry 2287 01:39:02.159 --> 01:39:07.399 young man. That has stuck in my head. 2288 01:39:08.199 --> 01:39:12.039 For so long, and I just is that that, Oh God, 2289 01:39:12.119 --> 01:39:16.159 this is always dead.

Like they're driving 2295 01:39:28.479 --> 01:39:31.319 to the to Krusty show and she goes, how did 2296 01:39:31.319 --> 01:39:33.159 you get the tickets? Yours?

And he goes, oh, yeah, sure, 2300 01:39:42.039 --> 01:39:43.840 and he has no idea what's happening? 2301 01:39:45.399 --> 01:39:48.359 I think said nothing at Chocolate Out, like Lisa says, 2302 01:39:48.439 --> 01:39:50.720 that's not suitable for children really, like my pants are 2303 01:39:50.840 --> 01:39:53.520 in this version exactly. 2304 01:39:53.920 --> 01:39:56.680 So that's starting with I Love Lisa. I Love Lisa 2305 01:39:56.720 --> 01:40:00.199 will be the first one. Then I would go with 2306 01:40:00.760 --> 01:40:04.319 Flaming Mo in that I do love the Flaming Mo episode. 2307 01:40:05.279 --> 01:40:08.800 It's all about most is lack, which I mean is 2308 01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:11.399 most Like I've heard this. He's based off a stand 2309 01:40:11.479 --> 01:40:14.279 up comedian. What is his name? He's an American guy 2310 01:40:14.279 --> 01:40:15.319 and I've done gigs with him. 2311 01:40:15.439 --> 01:40:17.000 Oh wow, mo is Mo. 2312 01:40:17.520 --> 01:40:19.880 Yeah, because I think, Hanka Zaria, I'm trying to look 2313 01:40:19.920 --> 01:40:23.000 it up now. The real life inspiration, Hanka Zaria I 2314 01:40:23.039 --> 01:40:24.560 said it was Rich Hall. 2315 01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:26.520 So what was the third episode that you would have 2316 01:40:26.560 --> 01:40:26.800 put on? 2317 01:40:27.279 --> 01:40:32.359 The third would be Homer's Barbershop Quartet. 2318 01:40:32.560 --> 01:40:33.399 Are you a Beatles fan? 2319 01:40:33.720 --> 01:40:37.079 I'm not a I've actually gotten into them in the 2320 01:40:37.199 --> 01:40:39.279 last year. I picked up a book about John and 2321 01:40:39.359 --> 01:40:41.439 Paul and then was like, these guys really are good. 2322 01:40:41.560 --> 01:40:45.560 And then listening to the more un Spotify and things 2323 01:40:45.640 --> 01:40:48.079 like that. I wasn't growing up and then, but I 2324 01:40:48.159 --> 01:40:51.079 always like the Barbershop Quartet, just the references, and I 2325 01:40:51.119 --> 01:40:55.479 mean Barney having his Yoko ono and I'm murdering her. 2326 01:40:55.520 --> 01:41:01.079 It's a new and experimental places number eight. That's something 2327 01:41:01.119 --> 01:41:01.920 that lives in my head. 2328 01:41:02.000 --> 01:41:03.279 What does your eyes for? 2329 01:41:03.399 --> 01:41:06.840 A plum in a pool of perfume served in a 2330 01:41:06.920 --> 01:41:07.399 man's hat? 2331 01:41:08.960 --> 01:41:11.640 Got yeah, I got it. A single plump floating served 2332 01:41:11.680 --> 01:41:13.640 in a man's hat. Yeah, But what's what's the one 2333 01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:16.199 where it's a pool? Changes his name? No, no, that's it. 2334 01:41:17.680 --> 01:41:20.199 But you're like Homer, never play on a marquete. Your 2335 01:41:20.239 --> 01:41:22.399 name is now Homer, your name is now a pooh 2336 01:41:22.439 --> 01:41:26.279 de bo Marche so disrespectful to my culture of my god. 2337 01:41:26.359 --> 01:41:29.680 But yeah, all right, but what's that Homer says that 2338 01:41:30.039 --> 01:41:32.159 his name like Homer and the you always say it's 2339 01:41:32.159 --> 01:41:33.000 the band name that you love. 2340 01:41:34.359 --> 01:41:36.600 Oh no, it's oh no, we're going to be the 2341 01:41:37.199 --> 01:41:42.560 is it? The most is like experience featuring Homer. Anytime 2342 01:41:42.640 --> 01:41:44.920 you've got anything featuring someone, it's just I think it's 2343 01:41:44.960 --> 01:41:46.520 just a great gag. But yeah, the most is like 2344 01:41:46.640 --> 01:41:47.760 experience featuring Homer. 2345 01:41:48.319 --> 01:41:49.079 Yeah that's correat. 2346 01:41:49.520 --> 01:41:51.600 But yeah, as a Beatles fan, I mean, I wasn't 2347 01:41:51.640 --> 01:41:54.159 a Beatles fan when I was younger I've got I'm 2348 01:41:54.159 --> 01:41:55.920 a big Beatles fan now. But the older I got, 2349 01:41:55.960 --> 01:41:57.920 the more I appreciated episode because I understood all the 2350 01:41:58.199 --> 01:42:01.000 extras gags. But the episode, again, though, you can enjoy 2351 01:42:01.039 --> 01:42:02.720 it not being a Beatles fan. That's what's so great 2352 01:42:02.720 --> 01:42:05.199 about it. And George Harrison has a fantastic guest appearance 2353 01:42:05.199 --> 01:42:05.359 in it. 2354 01:42:06.039 --> 01:42:06.880 Yes, exactly. 2355 01:42:07.119 --> 01:42:08.920 Wow, what a nice fella it was. 2356 01:42:09.000 --> 01:42:11.680 Really it's when it got I mean this in a 2357 01:42:11.800 --> 01:42:13.680 nice way, it's when the show got really bonkers, Like 2358 01:42:13.720 --> 01:42:16.239 the storylines weren't just about these family things. It was 2359 01:42:16.279 --> 01:42:17.960 like when it really got like wow, what are we 2360 01:42:18.039 --> 01:42:21.560 doing now? And yeah, I love that episode. I think 2361 01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:27.119 the next one would be Deep Space Homer in broad Wedrus. Yes, 2362 01:42:27.600 --> 01:42:28.920 that would be incredible. 2363 01:42:29.680 --> 01:42:31.640 I don't know that one is so great. You think 2364 01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:34.720 the idea of you're talking about the show going wacky 2365 01:42:35.039 --> 01:42:38.560 by this point home it's literally going to space. Yes, 2366 01:42:39.439 --> 01:42:41.520 but but they still do it in a way that 2367 01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:43.800 you just you buy it. When he's on the phone 2368 01:42:43.840 --> 01:42:45.640 to Mart and he's like, like the time I want 2369 01:42:45.680 --> 01:42:47.800 to go see mister t down of the Mill, Oh 2370 01:42:48.000 --> 01:42:48.359 my god. 2371 01:42:48.399 --> 01:42:49.199 I got a little longer. 2372 01:42:49.239 --> 01:42:50.079 I got a little longer. 2373 01:42:52.039 --> 01:42:53.399 And then he said, I won't let that happen. I 2374 01:42:53.439 --> 01:42:55.119 can't let that happen. And I won't let that happen. 2375 01:42:55.840 --> 01:42:58.880 I learned from that. I'm thinking sometimes there's things and 2376 01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:00.199 I go, ah, I do it to my like, you 2377 01:43:00.239 --> 01:43:02.600 know what, hom I missed out on seams the tea. 2378 01:43:02.680 --> 01:43:03.720 I'm not going to let that happen. 2379 01:43:05.560 --> 01:43:08.119 There are two bits I just that I really really 2380 01:43:08.159 --> 01:43:10.239 love about it. They probably happily win. My favorite Simpsons 2381 01:43:10.279 --> 01:43:13.000 of moments is when he had the press conference. I 2382 01:43:13.039 --> 01:43:14.359 don't care where we go as long as I go 2383 01:43:14.399 --> 01:43:15.960 to that terrible planet of the apes. 2384 01:43:16.680 --> 01:43:22.600 Wait a minute, wait the rest of wait a minute, 2385 01:43:23.199 --> 01:43:26.439 he goes, wait a minute, a minute, there was our planets. 2386 01:43:30.680 --> 01:43:33.880 It's like in that moment, but we realized that that's us. 2387 01:43:34.680 --> 01:43:36.399 Yeah, and then the guys like this, this is over. 2388 01:43:36.680 --> 01:43:38.960 The curtain comes Barney berpsy passes out and drunk. 2389 01:43:39.520 --> 01:43:44.199 Wait a minute, just a minute, statue of limity that planet, 2390 01:43:44.840 --> 01:43:48.960 but also the James Taylor supporting supporting appearance, so good, 2391 01:43:49.079 --> 01:43:51.600 and when Barney, all, do you respect mister Taylor? This 2392 01:43:51.680 --> 01:43:53.079 isn't the time of your unique plant? 2393 01:43:53.520 --> 01:43:53.880 Brenda? 2394 01:43:54.039 --> 01:43:54.319 What is it? 2395 01:43:54.399 --> 01:43:55.399 Laid back folk rock? 2396 01:43:57.880 --> 01:44:01.880 When Barney obviously trains and he is like unbelievable, he 2397 01:44:01.960 --> 01:44:05.279 looks incredible. Let's celebrate. And then as soon as he 2398 01:44:05.439 --> 01:44:08.920 drinks the morphing into him, but it's happening again. 2399 01:44:10.319 --> 01:44:11.159 I don't understand it. 2400 01:44:11.239 --> 01:44:12.439 That was none alcoholic life. 2401 01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:19.600 I think my favor bit is the second comes right 2402 01:44:19.640 --> 01:44:25.319 after first. Careful they're ruffled, all right? And what would 2403 01:44:25.359 --> 01:44:27.239 be your final episode for your marathon? 2404 01:44:27.399 --> 01:44:29.720 I'm of the heretic now. I mentioned it before with 2405 01:44:30.840 --> 01:44:33.359 the poo quotes that my children want me to say 2406 01:44:33.399 --> 01:44:36.319 out in public, but that one, I think it's just 2407 01:44:36.439 --> 01:44:39.199 the religious undertones. I think they tackle it so well, 2408 01:44:39.840 --> 01:44:44.119 and it's I just find a very funny episode just 2409 01:44:44.199 --> 01:44:47.640 with so many quotables in it. I mean, even a 2410 01:44:47.760 --> 01:44:49.840 reverend love Joy at the end when he says, see, 2411 01:44:49.920 --> 01:44:52.279 all religions can help out, and he points out who's 2412 01:44:52.319 --> 01:44:55.520 helped out and he goes, be it Christian, Jew or miscellaneous, 2413 01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:04.000 A million of us us love Joe goes, that's silcret, 2414 01:45:04.920 --> 01:45:05.960 so condescend me. 2415 01:45:08.319 --> 01:45:10.039 But I was just the story of that one too. 2416 01:45:10.439 --> 01:45:12.359 When you're married with kids, just the idea of getting 2417 01:45:12.399 --> 01:45:14.479 a Sunday morning to yourself at home, to fucking watch 2418 01:45:14.520 --> 01:45:16.520 what you want, eat what you want, just chill out. 2419 01:45:16.920 --> 01:45:18.159 It sounds like heaven. 2420 01:45:18.000 --> 01:45:20.680 Right, yes. And I think also again with my age, 2421 01:45:21.800 --> 01:45:24.439 my grandmother was Catholic. She was a lovely lady and 2422 01:45:24.920 --> 01:45:28.279 she would go to church somewhat consistently. And then when 2423 01:45:28.319 --> 01:45:30.680 she passed away when I was about eleven or twelve, again, 2424 01:45:30.720 --> 01:45:32.680 when I started The Simpsons, it was like we're all 2425 01:45:32.760 --> 01:45:35.479 kind of like, we're still doing this, and so there 2426 01:45:35.600 --> 01:45:38.159 was this thing of like church was a thing, and 2427 01:45:38.319 --> 01:45:41.439 even my mum was like, oh, you know, maybe we'll go, 2428 01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:43.840 maybe we won't. So it was always you're trying to 2429 01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:46.279 weasel out of it. And I completely got where he's 2430 01:45:46.279 --> 01:45:49.640 coming from because Sunday mornings now it's the one morning 2431 01:45:49.720 --> 01:45:51.359 in our family life where we're like, no, we're not 2432 01:45:51.479 --> 01:45:53.800 moving quick, We're not doing stuff. It's going to be fine. 2433 01:45:53.880 --> 01:45:56.680 The thought of getting dressed up to go to a 2434 01:45:56.800 --> 01:45:59.600 place that is possibly the most boring of your week 2435 01:46:00.479 --> 01:46:03.119 is yeah, you do anything to get out of it. 2436 01:46:03.359 --> 01:46:05.239 You know, they have services in the afternoon. 2437 01:46:06.279 --> 01:46:07.560 Yeah, you're right, but I just. 2438 01:46:09.920 --> 01:46:10.159 Sorry. 2439 01:46:10.159 --> 01:46:12.000 I was raised Catholic as well.
