It's like everyone 41 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.560 just bought the supermarket out, so she only had the 42 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.640 cabriagechot chip ones and I ate when I went, eugh, 43 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.479 bread with chocolate and it's just not my favorite thing. 44 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:10.280 It was weird. 45 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.240 Yeah, hot Cross buns have not really they're not really 46 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.199 hot Cross buns anymore. They're just sort of flavored buns. 47 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:17.360 It's a weird texture. 48 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.080 Yeah, I mean there used to be back in my day. 49 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.599 You get easy to get your hot Cross buns and 50 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.639 they would be traditionally just one flavor. They'd be kind 51 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.159 of a cinnamon flavored dough with raisins, Sultana's all through 52 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.479 it or whatever and across on top and that was it, 53 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.800 and then let's throw in some chocolate chips. But after part, 54 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.479 let's make some variants. Yes, guys' favorite word. 55 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.039 Make sure they're limited. 56 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.599 And make sure they're limited, and they certainly were. But no, 57 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.919 I enjoyed hot Cross buns for a very long time 58 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.759 and I'm down to my last one. So, I mean, 59 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.360 I don't know what supermarket you're going to, but there's 60 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.240 still like a fair fee on the shelves and there a. 61 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.159 Lot of the day just the day before Good Friday, 62 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.520 everyone is cleaned up and then they'll probably baked more. 63 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:55.960 Yeah, they had a bunch out in the back. 64 00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.719 In the back room, everyone just went they go crazy 65 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:00.520 when there's going to be a public holiday and the 66 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.719 supermarkets are close. Always a Thursday before Good Friday, supermarkets 67 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.960 are packed. It's it's like COVID mate, It's insane. 68 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.000 It was really interest because I mean, yeah, I went 69 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.639 to the supermarket. I think on that Thursday, it seemed 70 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.439 like there were great clouds coming in, Like it was like, Oh, 71 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.719 we're all battening down for the big storm, and everyone's 72 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.080 in this everyone's in the supermarkets. Like this feels like 73 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:20.599 the real end of the world stuff. 74 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.800 Yeah, my poop was on the roof and you had 75 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.360 a shot game. I'm gonna lie. I kind of liked it. 76 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.120 I feel like it might have been that night. Yeah, 77 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.439 I went to supermarket. It smell like I was going 78 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.479 to rain, but it wasn't raining, and it was still warm. 79 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.039 It was just a real eerie feeling because it was 80 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:37.960 it was just it was bizarre. It felt like we 81 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.599 were at the start of that movie The Mist. Yeah, guys, 82 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.599 phone just went off. I was sorry, folks, I honestly 83 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.639 thought i'd muted this. It doesn't matter. 84 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.759 It's a message from the lovely Louise who was having 85 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.199 breakfast with her friend mel Oh. Okay, nice, you're saying, 86 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.560 it's gorgeous out here, and I'm like, baby, I mean 87 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.719 he's talking to Dan, which is gorgeous in. 88 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.919 Its own way, but so or troubling news here at 89 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.199 the dan her household. We've both got troubling news on 90 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.840 the weekend. Both. So your mother and my grandmother both 91 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.560 had an issue. So my grandmother fell over in her bathroom, 92 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.560 broke her hip. So she's at the age of eighty six, 93 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.879 she's in hospital now, struggling, but she I'll say this, 94 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.240 I'll tell the story. So they gave us a medication 95 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.639 called end don't I believe it's called to ease the 96 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.000 pain after her surgery, and it caused her kidneys to 97 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.120 fail and she technically died. She died in bed, and 98 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:31.639 they were quickly thinking of ways, how we're going to 99 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.319 resuscitate it. We're going to do CPR, How are we going 100 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.480 to use the zapp things whatever they called the triper 101 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.279 if he blows, yeah, what are we going to do here? 102 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.959 And then Grandma just went just bring myself back to life, 103 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.279 just started breathing by herself again. I thought that generation mate. 104 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.439 And now she's now she's sitting up for it. Now 105 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.480 she's sitting up eating dinner and she's ready to start 106 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.720 using a walk again.

My mom goes into hospital 121 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.920 on Saturday, the day before east of Sunday. There are 122 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.160 always bugs going around. One of my sisters had a 123 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.800 bit of a cough kind of thing, a bit of 124 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:40.439 a chest infection. 125 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:41.240 Winter is coming. 126 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.839 Winter is indeed coming, passing on the mum, who then 127 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.639 got a bacterial infection on top of that. Yeah, breathing 128 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.240 became a bit difficult. Margaret Mary, God bless her ninety 129 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.680 four years of age, still living alone, still trudging up 130 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.000 and down the stairs once or twice a day. But 131 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.279 you know, this was really taking a toll on us. 132 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.240 So one of my sisters and I ushered her into 133 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.959 the Good Catholic Hospital here in geelongs and John of. 134 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:06.439 God, she does not want to go. 135 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.759 She is normally kind of reluctant to accept any help 136 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:10.480 in this regard. 137 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:11.639 They can fix it themselves. 138 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:12.160 They can. 139 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.399 Indeed, our generations can't someone else do it? There? 140 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.959 I means she would say, your sister pro had this, 141 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.439 and she yeah, she's fixed up. 142 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.120 And I'm like, you're. 143 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.399 Ninety four, accept a little help. You know you're gonna 144 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.480 you're gonna need just a little bit of assistance to 145 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.240 maybe get over something like this. She reluctantly went into 146 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.360 the emergency department. They gave her a bit of a 147 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.000 once over, hooked her up to some IV, got the 148 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.959 antibiotics and the steroids flowing through, and now she's jacked. 149 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:40.199 But yeah, when she was in. 150 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.319 There, she's like, oh, this is nicest, blanket's very warm, 151 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:43.879 and oh they've give me a nice thing of pumpkin 152 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.600 soup and oh near the Telly's on. They put her 153 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.680 into a room She's like, oh, this is not this, 154 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.160 this is going to happen every once in a while. 155 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.040 She just like, is going to need to go to 156 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.560 hospital and be taken care of. This implies that her 157 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.399 family is not taken care of her. We certainly are, 158 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.800 but sometimes you got to put leave it to the professionals. Yes, 159 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.839 but anyway, Margaret Mary is on the mend. That's great news. Yeah, 160 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.240 as we said, this generation just built different. 161 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.360 Indeed, now I've got to do the follow up to 162 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.800 the last week's story about Danner getting a cat. So 163 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:17.319 oh yeah, So what happened was brief little no previously 164 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.920 on four figure discount a cat, which we assume was 165 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:21.600 the strike. It comeing to our back door, no cola, 166 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:22.879 middle of the night. I always come to a back 167 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.399 door about ten thirty eleven. I eventually ended its trust 168 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.199 and it sort of came inside and we put it 169 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:28.439 in the cage, we will say, at our house for 170 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.480 a couple of days, just slept inside, just hanging out. 171 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.680 We eventually took it to the vet and the vet 172 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.120 scanned it. No mircrot chip goes here and I'm sure 173 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.079 whether it's the same overseas, but in Australia we have 174 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.639 Michael chips, so everyone knows who owns each cat. No 175 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.519 market chip, no coler, wasn't fixed up. They said, this 176 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.079 is just a classic case of Australia. So they took 177 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:46.639 it to the Pound. Has to be there for a week. 178 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.439 They put it on their website saying is this your cat? 179 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:49.959 If it is, you can come claim it. I said, 180 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:51.800 if it's not claimed after a week, you guys can 181 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.000 come and adopt. It's a great name was on top 182 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:55.759 of the list. Blah blah blah. So we get to 183 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.040 the final day. I get a phone call from the Pound. 184 00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.720 I go, okay, great is it them saying come pick 185 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.079 it up the go. Unfortunately the owner claimed it this morning. 186 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.160 He went nice one. So I was at our house 187 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:05.959 for a few days and then a week later they 188 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.959 finally claim it. Whatever, so they pay the release forms. 189 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:10.879 They fixed the cat up that day they said yea, 190 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.839 it was going home. Blah blah blah. That night at 191 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.439 ten ten it is back at our back door again, 192 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.720 no collar on. After surgery in the middle of the night. 193 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.480 One might suggest that we're dealing with some deadbeat cat parents. 194 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.160 Yes, so I said to Nicola, well, we're just going 195 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.600 to keep this cat for a few days. I said, 196 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:30.959 I'm not put and the cart at the pound. They said, well, 197 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:32.879 we have to do the process one more time. They 198 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:34.440 get to do it twice. After the second time, if 199 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.960 it goes back to your house, then we can take 200 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.080 other options and try and get you to adopt the cat. 201 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.320 Blah blah blah. And I said to Nicola, but I 202 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.639 don't want this cat to have to go through the 203 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.759 stress and trauma of getting taken in the van and 204 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.799 taken to the pound and locked in a cage for 205 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.360 a week because their owner is irresponsible. And I said 206 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.200 that to the people at the pound. I said, well, 207 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.360 I'm not doing that. I said, it's not the cat's 208 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.200 fault that the owners are responsible. I don't want this 209 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.960 cat to have to go through that stress. Again, she went, well, 210 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.960 unfortunately you have to. I said, well, I'm not. You 211 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.320 can't make me. I'm not doing that. So I said 212 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.559 to them, give them my phone number, don't give them 213 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.759 my address. Give them my phone number, and if they 214 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.039 want this cat, they can call me and explain to 215 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.480 me why the fuck it is out. On the day 216 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.960 that I had surgery, oh, some Francis of ASSISI here 217 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.720 friend to all animals. That's you. Yeah, just dis infuriating, 218 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.759 Yes it is. And what this car has to be 219 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.320 locked in a casion taking to the pound again for 220 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.120 a week because your owner is too lazy to look 221 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.000 after it. So anyway, the cat stayed at our house 222 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.840 and it's sleeping in our bed last night. Nicola loves it. 223 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:31.840 She wants to keep it. 224 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.399 Listeners should be aware that I have seen this cat 225 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:35.039 for the first time. 226 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.600 So cute, so cute, It's super lovable. Obviously right away 227 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.120 from guy, because as you would expect. 228 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:44.679 Most you know, things with the poles tend to run 229 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.919 away from me. So I get the feeling that this 230 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.440 cat and I will still become very good friends. 231 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.840 Yes, indeed, yes at the moment it's still living here. 232 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.399 We shall find out. But before we get into some 233 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.159 mailbag questions here on the community podcast, we said we 234 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.440 talked about some Simpsons news, so we'll cover some Simpsons news. 235 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.320 We're also going to be having the creator of the 236 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:05.960 Assassins on the show a little bit later, so look 237 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.000 look at for that as well. We're talking about the shoes, 238 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.559 the shoes, the assassin's shoes, yes, which we discussed. Now 239 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:11.799 Butt's dog gets an f podcast. 240 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.240 I'm not talking about actual assassins, and. 241 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.720 We're going to be getting our own pairs with our 242 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:16.799 own little license plates. 243 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:17.559 Oh my goodness. 244 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.559 Dan to one guy. So we discussed on a recent podcast. 245 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.360 The show has been renewed for four more seasons, Simpsons. 246 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.919 You're not talking about full thing of this guy taking 247 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.080 it through to two season forty breaking records, blah blah blah. 248 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.320 But we discussed this with ABC News last week and 249 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.840 the article is now online. You can find it. I'll 250 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.879 put the link for it in the description of this show. 251 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.919 Written by a man Luke Lukeoper. Yeah, Luke Cooper, indeed, 252 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.399 yes and yeah. It was a great chat with for 253 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.519 about half an hour and he got some good quotes. 254 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.360 Changing a little bit slightly. But I'm like, this sounds better. 255 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.200 This is what has made me sound intelligent. This is 256 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:50.840 what journalists do. 257 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.399 I mean, journal's couple a lot of flak for like, 258 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:56.840 that's not exactly what I said. It's like, yeah, I 259 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.720 made your sound better. Pow, I counted all yours and. 260 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.879 Yeah, yeah, much more articulate. So going down, I sound 261 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.720 very intelligent. In this article basically discussing the longevity of 262 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.600 the Simpsons and how it's managed to stay on the 263 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.080 air and stay relevant besides the fact that it's not 264 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:15.480 really representative of the average family. Well, I think that 265 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.080 was what gave it the superstartum in the first place. 266 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.919 Yeah, and that was the article's main thrust was, like 267 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.360 it does the Simpsons still represent the average family? 268 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.440 Which it does not. No, not at all. But we 269 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.759 explain why we think the show is still on the air, 270 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.000 So you look at for that. You can link in 271 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.120 the scription of this podcast. Now, I did those a 272 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.759 little bit of extra information that we didn't cover when 273 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.639 we talked about The Simpsons being renewed. I read an article. 274 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.840 This could be wrong, but I've read two different articles 275 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.399 that said they've being renewed for fifteen episodes a season. Okay, 276 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.320 then that's got to be the shortest seasons in Simpsons history, 277 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.840 besides the first season, which was thirteen episodes. If this 278 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.799 is true, bizarre. But maybe it's because they're now doing 279 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.080 the Disney Plus exclusives and it's part of a case 280 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.679 of fifteen for TV seven for Disney. 281 00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.679 That makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I think it's 282 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.600 also just the way the industry is going in terms 283 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.000 of like, yeah, shortened attention spans, shortened contracts for writers, 284 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.159 all that kind of business. I'm sure they have their reasons. 285 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.080 I'm maybe they articulated in those articles. But yeah, you're 286 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.279 finding that the twenty two episode season is becoming a 287 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:16.440 more and more rare. 288 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.679 Also, the shows are longer, so a lot of the 289 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:20.759 shows we watched now forty minute episodes as opposed to 290 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.799 the old twenty two Right. But I do find when 291 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.360 you watch a particularly a newer season of the Simpsons, 292 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.519 there's ten ish really like not not great episodes, but 293 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.559 ten ish good episodes and some filler as well. Right, 294 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.600 maybe this will also be a case of hey, look, 295 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.120 we can now focus on delivering. 296 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.039 How about we give you mostly killer. 297 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.080 Yeah, not as much filmer, as much filler, even less filler. Yeah, 298 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.639 So we'll see what happens there. But apparently fifteen episodes 299 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.279 of a season which I thought was interesting. But I 300 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.679 was talking about the Disney Plus exclusives. One just dropped 301 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.759 today called Yellow Planet to celebrate Earth Day. I haven't 302 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.679 watched it yet, but I thought maybe we could talk 303 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.240 about it for Patreon. Maybe potentially that's a very good idea, 304 00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:58.720 is when we'll both have a look at it and 305 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.960 give thoughts on it. But yeah, this is apparently it's 306 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.399 a bit of a I was about to say a 307 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.759 pis take, but no, no, more like an homage to 308 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.320 national geographic style nature documents and the sins his family 309 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.720 sort of reimagined as animals and not not narrated by 310 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.840 the great David Attenbranch. These things are. 311 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.600 That is a shame, But I imagine he's sort of 312 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.399 got things on his mind, like, you know, saving the planet. 313 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.440 So they got in Hugh Bonneville, who is a star 314 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.720 of the hit series downt Nabby, is also Paddington's dad. 315 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.080 Really in the movies, I still haven't watched them. I know, 316 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:38.720 you tell me they unbelievable. 317 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.519 Pennington two is great, it's lovely.

Yeah, these shorts that. 336 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.720 I'm sorry, I'm going to be old man yells at 337 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.679 cloud here, but yeah, are catered to a bag like. 338 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:31.159 What do we do. 339 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.759 We give you water, tempt you from the sun, I'm 340 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.720 shooting you from the south, particularly you with your Irish complexion. 341 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.559 They're sort of tailored to the younger generations, shall we 342 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.159 say shorter attention spans. 343 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.000 Disney shorts are Yeah, it's nice. It's a nice little snack. Yeah. 344 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.000 Well this isn't a short, this is a Disney Plus exclusive. Okay. Yeah, 345 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.240 so they're doing They've done full fledged episodes, now that's 346 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.759 what I'm trying to say. So they're fifteen episode's full 347 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.360 length on TV. Oh yeah, there's that absolute Yeah, you 348 00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.720 also got the short. The Disney shorts are definitely they're 349 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.159 and I didn't see it this way until I was 350 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.600 with Matt that night, like Salomon, and he goes, they 351 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.279 literally just tell us to make that because kids don't 352 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:07.720 want to watch a full episode, so that's how we 353 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:09.440 attract new kids to watch the show. And I was like, 354 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.639 it actually makes sense. He's like taking a swig from 355 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.879 his drink and he's like, it's not out used to me. 356 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.720 I watched, I watched his soul left leave his body. 357 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:23.000 When because with Philip Rosenthal and we're doing just excuse me, 358 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:24.519 I got to put on my hard hat, like I'm 359 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.679 so many names dropping, but it's like a pub crawl, right, 360 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.879 but it's restaurants and all the chefs coming out there 361 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.440 just like we're not worthy to fill right and Phil. 362 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.360 So Matt's sitting there and like, oh is this your friend? 363 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:36.720 And Phil goes, do you watch the Simpsons?

We got 372 00:15:58.440 --> 00:15:59.960 a heap of them, we'll start to love the Keddy 373 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.960 with a one hundred dollars support. So, Katy G.

I'm not 378 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.120 just saying that because of the Chris Pundi we get 379 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.759 every month. That's actually that's a really solid question. It's 380 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:20.679 one that I gave a bit of thought to. Unlike 381 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:22.600 the others, I didn't give any thought to them. No, No, 382 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.639 I thought about every single question, but yours most of all. 383 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:28.679 Katie. It also depends what time. Just say, we'ld interviewing 384 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.639 them on a podcast, right, Yeah, it depends what kind 385 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.720 of podcast it is. If it's like a Joe Rogan 386 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.679 podcast and you want like like a bender on there, 387 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.200 wouldn't you someone is just going to have opinions, no 388 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.440 filter and no filter.

Oh, 394 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:59.159 talking about but that's great, that's good, well done you Yeah, sorry, 395 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.159 go on, Yeah, that's this just came to my mind. 396 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.519 So I was thinking, just hearing his struggles and what 397 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.680 he went through, I feel like that's the kind of 398 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.799 interview that would just smash it. In twenty twenty five, 399 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:12.480 hearing the Troy McClure story as told by Phil Harmon, well, yeah, 400 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.519 absolutely from beyond the Grave. 401 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:21.200
