Speaker 1: Hey, your love tester's busted. Go on and nickelback.
Speaker 2: Hey buddy, have one on a half.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, this drink is delicious and my flood feels looser.
Speaker 2: What do you call it? Well, it's called a flaming mo.
Speaker 4: It's called a flaming moh. That's right, the flaming mo.
Speaker 4: My name is Mo, and I invented it. That's why
Speaker 4: it's called a flaming mole. What what are you looking at,
Speaker 4: Homer R.
Speaker 2: It's a flaming mo.
Speaker 1: I'm mo.
Speaker 5: Four finger discount, dude.
Speaker 1: Everybody, welcome to four Finger Discount. And we are all
Speaker 1: incredibly excited because this week we've gone all the way
Speaker 1: back to season three. We thoughts the end of the year,
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, depending on when you
Speaker 1: listen to this episode, we thought we'll not do a celebration.
Speaker 1: Let's not do a season twenty review. Let's save those
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five, an exciting year that's going to be.
Speaker 1: Let's do a classic review. One of the all timers
Speaker 1: of The Simpsons is in the top ten list of
Speaker 1: so many online magazines and online websites like IgM and
Speaker 1: Always people who constantly review the Simpsons. It is flaming Mos.
Speaker 1: I'm Dano and I am Guy.
Speaker 6: Yes, uh, it's season twenty is twenty twenty five's problem?
Speaker 6: As Dan I said, we're going to either wrap up
Speaker 6: the year or begin the year, because he was doing
Speaker 6: a lot of calculus before we actually push the big
Speaker 6: record button. Some of you hearing this in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 6: someone twenty twenty five. But whatever year and whatever time,
Speaker 6: whatever space, whatever frame of mind you're in, flaming Mos
Speaker 6: it just makes everything better. I don't happiness, It's just
Speaker 6: a flaming moad. I don't understand the science of it,
Speaker 6: but flaming Mos makes it good.
Speaker 1: Well, I just thought, what's a New Year's e? Theened
Speaker 1: episode of the Simpsons, and this is not New Year's
Speaker 1: E theme, but I thought, what are people doing during
Speaker 1: the holiday season getting boozy? So let's do a bousy episode.
Speaker 1: So flaming Mos. And I was surprised we hadn't already
Speaker 1: gone back and revisited this one. To be completely honest.
Speaker 1: For a guy on Springfield, that is true. And we
Speaker 1: got on Springfield here, and as I was watching this,
Speaker 1: I thought, I'm going to find somewhere where Ken Brockman,
Speaker 1: says Guy and then say I'm Ken Blackman and this
Speaker 1: is guy on Springfield. I can somehow I make that work.
Speaker 1: We're going to call this guy on Springfield again. There's
Speaker 1: not much you can't make work. So look, I imagine this
Speaker 1: could happen. I'm pretty sure that it's some stage in
Speaker 1: the many many episodes of The Simpsons and the many
Speaker 1: that Kent.
Speaker 6: That Ken Brockman has appeared on that Yeah, he has
Speaker 6: said the word guy. At some stage. You can do
Speaker 6: your editing magic.
Speaker 1: Or what I can do is I can get a
Speaker 1: word that begins with and then just add it to that.
Speaker 1: I you guy, You're just you're making it too complicated.
Speaker 1: But we're here just like a flaming moment, which seems
Speaker 1: like a very complicated dream. It does, indeed. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: we're here to review flamingos, as we said. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited because I I always do this. I
Speaker 1: forget how good these episodes are because I don't revisit
Speaker 1: the older ones anywhere near as often as I should.
Speaker 1: I think when you've got kids, that doesn't help because
Speaker 1: the kids always want to watch their shows. I mean,
Speaker 1: the kids do watch the Simpsons lot out, but all
Speaker 1: of the Simpsons. I still find it's funny when I
Speaker 1: always talked about my mum's band of the Simpsons until
Speaker 1: I was six, and I watch the Simpsons now and
Speaker 1: go I kind of get it now.
Speaker 6: Well even yeah, even in this episode, I mean there's
Speaker 6: a bit of sort of I won't say adult content.
Speaker 1: But not a kids This isn't a kid's episode behind
Speaker 1: you mean, oh, absolutely not. I mean I have no
Speaker 1: idea what's going on, even early on.
Speaker 6: With Bart walking past the TV when it's on Springfield,
Speaker 6: which is you know, pretty racy, one might say rybald infotainment.
Speaker 1: I mean to hear a young young boys whoa DNA?
Speaker 1: I mean ten, So he's entering that phase of his life.
Speaker 1: But he still finds that he says, all teena and
Speaker 1: then he says other girls are trying to kiss me.
Speaker 1: I guess because they're the girls from school there. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: exactly that you don't have that screen remove of Well, no,
Speaker 1: they're women on TV. That's wholly different. Yeah. So what
Speaker 1: do you think of Flamy Mo's overall though, because can
Speaker 1: very easily taken if you watch this episode, be seen
Speaker 1: as a villain. Right, he stole Homer's idea and when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I always thought when I watched this,
Speaker 1: Moe's the bad guy and he does bad things. But
Speaker 1: at least they established at the start that Moe's business
Speaker 1: is really bad, really devastated, so it gives some justification
Speaker 1: to his desperation as to why he would do so.
Speaker 1: Doesn't make it right, No, at least they explained someone
Speaker 1: like Moe who desperately needs his business to thrive, why
Speaker 1: he would do this. And then by the end, Moe
Speaker 1: was willingly going to sell the idea and give half
Speaker 1: the profits to Homer. So that was his what would
Speaker 1: you call he's not his hero moment, but he's his
Speaker 1: face turn his face turned. Yes. But by the end
Speaker 1: of the episode, you're thinking, oh, okay, he is a
Speaker 1: good friend to Homer in because he was going to
Speaker 1: do the right thing by the end. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, look at I think it is very
Speaker 6: easy to view Moe was the villain in this episode.
Speaker 6: Certainly you're saying about the escape patch, where you're saying, oh,
Speaker 6: his business is not doing all that great.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it necessarily justifies at all that much.
Speaker 1: I mean, he really jumps in thevery very quickly say no, no,
Speaker 1: it's blamy mo. It's made by mole because I'm me,
Speaker 1: I mow and I made it. It's that was a
Speaker 1: pretty good mole on my part actually, I mean even
Speaker 1: by my standard savvy businessman, savvy business man. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: there's no room for friends in business. How many?
Speaker 6: How many times have we heard since Jerry McGuire came
Speaker 6: out in ninety six, it's not show friends, it's show
Speaker 6: business exactly.
Speaker 1: So yeah, what do you think overall that of just
Speaker 1: the story of this new invention comes around, everyone's just
Speaker 1: like that, it's the flavor of the month.
Speaker 6: Well, you're speaking to the right man here, because you
Speaker 6: know how many times have just like limited various Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, I mean there was no limit. There was no
Speaker 1: limited with this, but it was. But it's the hot
Speaker 1: new thing. Well, it's like when I drive down We've
Speaker 1: mentioned before, you said they've got a great selection of
Speaker 1: foods or coffees or whatever. But the place near the
Speaker 1: Coals and Shannon Avenue here, the little cafe, the ever
Speaker 1: we drive past it, the line is out the door,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, is it that good or just the
Speaker 1: idea of I want to be part of the crew.
Speaker 1: I think it's partly I want to be part of
Speaker 1: the crew, although I think that place has kind of
Speaker 1: earned its Bonafard's by now. I mean, if you want
Speaker 1: me to speak specifically about that place. Look, it's tiny,
Speaker 1: but it does make good coffee. The staff are always really,
Speaker 1: really friendly. They've got a good selection of grub. It's
Speaker 1: like and and a nice place out the back to
Speaker 1: go and sit. I mean it's like, you know, partly
Speaker 1: market garden, partly nice place to spend a nice sunny day.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they're they're doing well, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I get part but partly Yeah. Well, sorry, I had to.
Speaker 1: I had to street team for Funk. I'm gonna spoil
Speaker 1: one of my trivia questions. I've got a lot of
Speaker 1: them for this one. Here. It's not they've got a
Speaker 1: bernad on the front gate. You know. I enjoyed, well
Speaker 1: it may I.
Speaker 6: Enjoyed this episode so much that I actually didn't write
Speaker 6: down that many trivia questions. I was like, really, okay, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's like I'm just enjoying going with the flow of
Speaker 6: flaming those. Having said that, there's a new cafe just
Speaker 6: across the street from Funk naricoles.
Speaker 1: It used to wait out the recipe. It used to
Speaker 1: it used to be got hunk. I went there because
Speaker 1: I was driving pass was like, you know what.
Speaker 6: After we recorded, Yes, I was like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 6: get a kebab from Sam's in town driving Sam and
Speaker 6: it's like.
Speaker 1: Under new management and it looks like it's I'll go
Speaker 1: and try it. It was okay.
Speaker 6: I think I've read something the other days like it'd
Speaker 6: be more disappointing than when you stray from your old takeaway.
Speaker 1: There are many things watch the point. I actually said
Speaker 1: this to Nicola the other day. I said, I pulled
Speaker 1: myself up quite often on the podcast now saying there's
Speaker 1: nothing worth actually know what. There are many things worse,
Speaker 1: but it's still very annoying. And you're right though, when
Speaker 1: the price of my favorite place to get supeaki from
Speaker 1: it's just gone through the roof to the point where
Speaker 1: I'm going, I don't want to spend fifty bucks on
Speaker 1: two chickens souv larkis. It just seems like a lot
Speaker 1: of money when all you're getting is the soup larky,
Speaker 1: like one of us each, you know. So we went
Speaker 1: somewhere else and I went, it's it's good, and you
Speaker 1: know what, it's fourteen dollars less, and you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go here for now on it. But
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm cheating on the place. But you know, understandable,
Speaker 1: fourteen dollars is a lot of money twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: for people who want to buy some bread and some milk,
Speaker 1: and that's it. That's what you're going to pull it. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I like the idea of, oh, it's the new joint
Speaker 6: in town, because we've all been susceptible to that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: the new nightclub, the new nightclub, the new pub, the
Speaker 6: new restaurant, whatever.
Speaker 1: This could be the place, this could be this could
Speaker 1: be it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this could define my identity. This could be my regular,
Speaker 6: This could be my cheers, this could be my mos,
Speaker 6: this could be my place.
Speaker 1: And after about eighteen months two years ago, why are
Speaker 1: we still coming here? It's not that great? Is there?
Speaker 1: Is there a new place? It was a new place
Speaker 1: opening up in a few months. Let's try that place. Well,
Speaker 1: let's try that place. Absolutely.
Speaker 6: I mean not to name names or malign establishments, but
Speaker 6: you know, I was talking about steakhouses in Geelong with
Speaker 6: the you know friends and loved Ones the other night.
Speaker 6: And there's a place that used to be the steak
Speaker 6: Joint in Geelong.
Speaker 1: Now it's the most expensive, and people are going a
Speaker 1: stage joint that I do not particularly want to free. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it feel like they're living off the rep a little bit.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and more people, more and more people are saying
Speaker 6: there's more and more people are like, oh, yeah, you
Speaker 6: know what, it's not that great, So times change state joint.
Speaker 1: He's trying to put down the competition early. He's opening
Speaker 1: up a new state joint. That's I'm planting c.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but everybody jumps on the bandwagon. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 6: we saw the cues went around the block for flaming mos.
Speaker 1: Most just regular old modes. Good for Mo, even he
Speaker 1: done a bad thing, I still felt nice that Most
Speaker 1: finely getting something because he's always been there when Homer
Speaker 1: needed him. Right, that's true, and I get that he's
Speaker 1: still on Homer's idea, But Homer has relied on Mo
Speaker 1: for many Granted, Moment profited from Homer's alcoholism, but he
Speaker 1: was an ear for Homer to vent his frustrations on
Speaker 1: and when Homa just wanted to get stuff out. Has
Speaker 1: always been the one I think, you know, I think
Speaker 1: most first line, this is what's the matter Homer. That's
Speaker 1: he's the guy that Homer goes to talk to and
Speaker 1: get his feelings out because he's got no one else.
Speaker 1: He can't talk to his friends, he's embarrassed, you can't
Speaker 1: talk to his family, doesn't want to talk about his
Speaker 1: family to his family. So because I mean, therapy might
Speaker 1: be the answer, but he goes to most, as many
Speaker 1: men do, and the bartenders.
Speaker 6: That's your unofficial that's your unofficial shrink right there. I mean,
Speaker 6: your partender has to be many, many things, probably cheaper.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, you've got to be a priest. You've
Speaker 6: got to be a shrink. You've got to be manner
Speaker 6: of confidants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I thought, you know, most somewhat deserved this for.
Speaker 6: A while, may deserve success, but you know, do you
Speaker 6: deserve success if it is ill gotten? The thing is,
Speaker 6: though he obtained by fraudulent or even or semi shady.
Speaker 1: But he did still the idea. And as you said before,
Speaker 1: it was a very spur of the moment. It's it's
Speaker 1: like he made the decision then and there. He didn't
Speaker 1: think this, This wasn't a well plotted out, I'm going
Speaker 1: to steal the idea that this was. I'm going to
Speaker 1: take advantage of the situation. And as he thought about
Speaker 1: it throughout the episode, it's like he still wanted Homer
Speaker 1: as a friend, but he couldn't turn down the money.
Speaker 1: And I want let's get to some of my favorite
Speaker 1: So I want to talk about on my favorites now.
Speaker 1: My favorite favorite moments. One that I really liked, and
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the funny moments that I liked throughout
Speaker 1: this one. It's the ones where Homer is saying, you
Speaker 1: just lost yourself a customer, right, And as that's happening
Speaker 1: always people are trying to talk over home. Yes, so
Speaker 1: Moe's getting lost in all this new business that he's
Speaker 1: underware that he's not just losing his customer, he's losing
Speaker 1: one of his best friends. Yes, And I thought that
Speaker 1: moment there, I've never really appreciated it so much in
Speaker 1: as much as I did for this review, where Homer's
Speaker 1: just being drowned out in the business and the sound
Speaker 1: of all these people, when really, if Moke could hear him,
Speaker 1: maybe it would have gotten through to him. Because Moe
Speaker 1: couldn't hear because of all the people screaming, but he's yeah,
Speaker 1: you've just lost yourself a customer. I just I really
Speaker 1: like that scene. It's a good point. Yeah, I'd never
Speaker 1: really thought of it that way until you elucidated it
Speaker 1: so eloquently. I knew, because it wasn't until Collett said,
Speaker 1: you know what, you probably should give him half the money.
Speaker 1: He followed it pretty quickly. It's not he fought against him,
Speaker 1: but no, no way, Yeah I deserve it. It's just like,
Speaker 1: you're right, the moment you actually sat down and thought
Speaker 1: about it, you went, yeah, right, yeah, I've gotta do
Speaker 1: the right thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it wasn't the afterglow of spending a little time
Speaker 6: with Collette.
Speaker 1: A happy hour. I was like happy hour, What a man.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Collette. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: discussing with Collette. So she was written to be the
Speaker 1: Diane because this is a lot of Cheers parodies.
Speaker 6: Threat well, a very very deliberate and yeah direct Cheers
Speaker 6: parody with the opening credits.
Speaker 1: Yeah again, another one of those things that when you're
Speaker 1: a kid, you don't really realize what's going. It's just
Speaker 1: a really catchy song. But it's one of my favorite
Speaker 1: parodies of the Simpsons of it don one of my
Speaker 1: favorite songs of the Simpsons ever did this one and the
Speaker 1: words are written by Jeff Martin, just a parody of
Speaker 1: the Cheers theme song. But Collette, right, So she was
Speaker 1: written to be Diane, who left the show maybe like
Speaker 1: season four or five.
Speaker 6: About five seasons in yeah, show long leaves Cheers to
Speaker 6: see a movie career. She'd been in a few movies
Speaker 6: prior to prior to be starring in Cheers. But Cheers,
Speaker 6: of course, is the one that really sort of kickstarts
Speaker 6: it for her.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, And so there was a lot more to
Speaker 1: the story here between mo and Diane, who was going
Speaker 1: to play the Sam role. She was going to play
Speaker 1: the Diane role Collette and I say, Moan Diam Collete sorry,
Speaker 1: And they left it out because they said it just
Speaker 1: it just didn't quite work. I do feel like there
Speaker 1: is an element of when you watch this going it
Speaker 1: feels like this is meant to be something, but like
Speaker 1: it doesn't quite It's like they couldn't just completely remove it.
Speaker 1: They had to include it in some way for the
Speaker 1: story to work. I get where you're coming from. I mean, personally,
Speaker 1: I very much liked it.
Speaker 6: When she first showed up, she's, yeah, she's what's the
Speaker 6: word auditioning for the job, she's applying for the job. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but also being very sort of smart man. Whether that's
Speaker 6: very Diane Chambers. But I mean, if we're talking about
Speaker 6: favorite moments that.
Speaker 1: Whole what's the club mo bartender's do it to your
Speaker 1: puke or something like that's questions what did I say?
Speaker 1: It's like coartenders do it to your bath? Do it
Speaker 1: to your bath? Yes? No, no, above that storeboard drollery.
Speaker 1: And then I felt very sickcomy banter that bit, didn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but also the high end kind of sitcom banter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Cheers specialized in. I mean, yeah, when he's talking
Speaker 1: about a better about I prefer tight beak. It's in
Speaker 1: someplace hot. I really enjoyed that. Now, apparently I don't
Speaker 1: know if this if the character of coll it was
Speaker 1: was written for Catherine O'Hara actually performed something they decided
Speaker 1: it's not quite working the whole lot. Yeah, apparently she's
Speaker 1: still credit at the end Katherine O'Hara in the credits.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, I didn't see her name at all because
Speaker 6: it was actually all the character was actually voiced in
Speaker 6: the end by a star or a cosman.
Speaker 1: Was a Joeanne Martin. Now it's Joan Harris. It's Joan Harris.
Speaker 1: Excuse meself, Yeah, who's the voice of the A lot
Speaker 1: of Bart's friends like Wendell, Lewis Richard or the kids
Speaker 1: at school that aren't main characters, but you know them.
Speaker 1: If you see Bart's friends at school that we never
Speaker 1: see all that often, she's she's a voice of Martin's mother.
Speaker 1: She's so she's I'm going to give Joe and Harris
Speaker 1: a lower, low key MVP. Charlotau. I mean, I really
Speaker 1: liked her in this episode. I really like the voice
Speaker 1: work she did.
Speaker 6: Just and if you if she's voicing those characters, as
Speaker 6: you say, it's like, I like your work.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that they were willing to get someone in
Speaker 1: like Katain O'Hara right realized it wasn't working. Still have
Speaker 1: the balls to say, sorry, Catherine, We'll still credit ya
Speaker 1: because you put in the effort, you record all the lines,
Speaker 1: but it's just not working. That's true.
Speaker 6: I mean, Katherine O'Hara has always been great. She was
Speaker 6: a cast member of their CTV The Canadian equivalent of SNL.
Speaker 6: By this stage, she's already in Beatle Juice and Home Alone.
Speaker 1: She's coming off Home Alone with this episode. Well known,
Speaker 1: not exactly a huge star, but everyone knows the mother
Speaker 1: from Home Alone. That's why many of the nice most
Speaker 1: people now know her as Shit's Creak. She's Creek. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but she's still Hey, it's Kevin's mum and Shit's Creek.
Speaker 1: Who's I mean, she's crazy, really popular, but everyone's really
Speaker 1: watching Home Alone. No one's I say, no one. That's it.
Speaker 1: That's overstated. You're overstating again. Ship's Creek felt like very
Speaker 1: much like a flammy most kind of deal where it
Speaker 1: got really hot really quickly and it just fizzled out.
Speaker 1: I know the show ended, but everyone was talking about
Speaker 1: Ship's Creek. Now he's never here, it brought up anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 6: I mean it had its sort of I guess second
Speaker 6: wind or second life life with a lot of memes
Speaker 6: and things like that.
Speaker 1: You still see that to some degree. You see a
Speaker 1: lot of it. Was David right the sun, Dan Levy
Speaker 1: who's the son character was David anyway, but you've got
Speaker 1: your four main he was the most meaned one, yes,
Speaker 1: and get the feeling I could be wrong here, but
Speaker 1: this is a suspicion that I have that suspicions shifts
Speaker 1: Creek was sort of because a lot of shows are made.
Speaker 6: Like this now for the kids, in that we've got
Speaker 6: to have some memorable moments.
Speaker 1: And the actors really realize that talk shows now aren't
Speaker 1: talk shows. They're just they're moments.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, absolutely, but certainly, you know, scripted drums and
Speaker 6: scripted comedies are going to have moments where they have
Speaker 6: a moment where you're sort of looking at the camera
Speaker 6: or you're pulling a certain face or going uh huh,
Speaker 6: because that can be like anytime someone says something on
Speaker 6: Twitter or Blue Sky, Blue Sky, it's not really happening.
Speaker 1: You finally realize this.
Speaker 6: Many people are saying that, yeah, anytime we want someone
Speaker 6: to agree with something, rather than say I agree, get
Speaker 6: them to pull the face. Yeah, face could be anything,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. But yeah, Katherine Haa, I
Speaker 6: mean yeah it is. As you said, it's pretty it's
Speaker 6: pretty ballsy, and it shows a commitment to the.
Speaker 1: Quality of the show. There's no way they would do
Speaker 1: this now.
Speaker 6: It feels bad to say, oh, our commitment quality is
Speaker 6: so much that we will cut Katherine O'Hara. That's not
Speaker 6: what I mean. It's more like she's great, but it's
Speaker 6: not quite right. It's not what we need.
Speaker 1: This even by the team here, how many times have
Speaker 1: we reviewed, never said and gone that guess role just
Speaker 1: didn't work or just didn't it didn't. It just it
Speaker 1: just feels like, now, well there's no quality control. But
Speaker 1: it's just we've got a guest start. Doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: it works, We've got the guest star. I guess.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean by season three, I mean the
Speaker 6: show has already sort of gathered my manitument. It's becoming
Speaker 6: a very very popular bit of a pop culture phenomenon.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I don't is it at the stage where
Speaker 6: it's starting to like we can pick and choose or
Speaker 6: we've got people lining up to be on the show.
Speaker 1: And I say this because I watched that New Christmas special.
Speaker 1: Oh come on all ye faith right, do you want
Speaker 1: to give them a peek behind the curtain and say,
Speaker 1: well no, no, So I sent your message when I
Speaker 1: was like five minutes in. I said, it's got I
Speaker 1: said to Papsture should review it, right and then I
Speaker 1: watched the first five minutes and it's his god awful right.
Speaker 1: I get this guy in called Darren Brown, who I
Speaker 1: had never heard of, and I guarantee probably eighty percent
Speaker 1: of the audience, if not Moore, had never heard of. Right,
Speaker 1: he's a British the name he plays mind illusions and yeah,
Speaker 1: like a hypnotist or something alight. He plays such a
Speaker 1: role in the episode. I'm just thinking, what are we
Speaker 1: doing here? Why is this guy in twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: playing such a key blah blah blah blah. And I
Speaker 1: watched it. I've got to the end and I went,
Speaker 1: this was fine. You know what. You know what, I
Speaker 1: guarantee I will go on social media tomorrow and all
Speaker 1: the all the buddy fucking reviewers, I'll say how great
Speaker 1: is because I want the access to the Simpsons people.
Speaker 1: Screen rant, I'm gonna call you out. Oh the Simpsons
Speaker 1: Christmas Special review? Oh, come on all year. Faithful is
Speaker 1: an unforgettable master class an animated comedy storytelling. Fuck off
Speaker 1: screen Rant. It was fine, but an unforgettable master class.
Speaker 1: Stop fucking jerking their chain. That's the problem is that
Speaker 1: a lot of the people who run the Simpsons are
Speaker 1: on social media and they're reading everything, and people have
Speaker 1: could in Now, if I talk up the new Simpsons,
Speaker 1: they'll pay attention to me. Okay, well, in that case,
Speaker 1: allow us to respond with another meme, another tram, like
Speaker 1: I don't mind. It was fun, it was good, right,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was Okay, it wasn't an unforgettable master class.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well.
Speaker 6: It was always It was always sort of a rookie
Speaker 6: move for reviewers or journalists or whatever. When you're first
Speaker 6: starting out, it's like everything's either five star or one star.
Speaker 6: Everything's either the best or the worst, because that's how
Speaker 6: you make an impression, you know. The further I got
Speaker 6: along in my reviewing career was realizing, yeah, most stuff's
Speaker 6: three and a half. Most stuff is three and a
Speaker 6: half and five. Most stuff is room temperature and that's fine. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and there's good and there's bad in it. How you
Speaker 6: convey that to your readership or your audience is like,
Speaker 6: you know what, this isn't the best thing you're going
Speaker 6: to see, but it's not the worst. You'll enjoy this part.
Speaker 6: This part needs work, you know, or in my opinion,
Speaker 6: so there you go. Yeah, but no, with the way
Speaker 6: the the way life online is these days.
Speaker 1: Like another time, I'm forgot of a master class on screen?
Speaker 1: What do you do? That kind of sacks or worst
Speaker 1: episode it? Yeah, so if we reviewed it, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say it's terrible. I wouldn't say it's a masterclass. I
Speaker 1: would just review it for what it is. It's twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four Simpsons. It's fine, that's all. It's fine. It's fine.
Speaker 1: It's not going to blow you're going to blow your
Speaker 1: load over it. You're not going to be furious at
Speaker 1: it for the most part. But it's fine. It's always
Speaker 1: let's let's not go crazy, let's not look for access
Speaker 1: to things. Just let's be honest with people. How do
Speaker 1: you know what I'd blow my load of? I don't
Speaker 1: want to know. Funny, most favorite moments, I've got a few, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you want? I'd enjoy by being jinxed. The
Speaker 1: kids have just worked that out, the jinxing thing, because
Speaker 1: learning from school. Now, holy does it? So they both
Speaker 1: jinx me and I'll go I'll go along, okay, son, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I'll go along. And then and
Speaker 1: they're having fun. After about a minute that I'm like,
Speaker 1: I give them a look like.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, but yeah, why should I do that?
Speaker 1: My lad found that very very funny. If you're a

Speaker 6: I don't know how the guys at The Simpsons felt
Speaker 6: about Aerosmith. I mean I thought it was they.
Speaker 1: Probably they were the first band to appear on the show.
Speaker 6: They probably, but the way they animate Stephen Tyler.
Speaker 1: When he says you've rack.
Speaker 6: Like a ghoul and also listening to of course, I'm
Speaker 6: aware of Aerosmith, but I think my first real exposure
Speaker 6: to Aerosmith, as even as a young man, was the
Speaker 6: mashup of I walked this way with you know, with
Speaker 6: Aerosmith and run DMC.
Speaker 1: That game that resurgence.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh, it's an original song by Aerosmith. You can
Speaker 6: listen to it's like and then you listen to Young
Speaker 6: Last at the end, it's like, Wow. Aerosmith had a
Speaker 6: lot of songs about getting it on the young chicks.
Speaker 6: I mean, admittedly they're making move they're making music for
Speaker 6: teenage boys, play the hits.
Speaker 1: But the same time, I know you should still be
Speaker 1: doing this. There's a there's a stage of your life,
Speaker 1: Steven Tyler. So that song Young Last at the end,
Speaker 1: they re recorded a condensed shorter version purely for the credits.
Speaker 1: Good for them. And so you'll notice there's a guy
Speaker 1: sitting in between them at the table at the booth
Speaker 1: of Moe's who has glasses on I think long hair.
Speaker 1: That's actually I want to hopefully pronouncing this correctly, John Kalandner, right,
Speaker 1: who was a famous talent rep for music for musicians
Speaker 1: and whatnot. He was the first talent rep for Geffen
Speaker 1: Jeff Geffen Records. Yeah, so he had Aerosmith. I think
Speaker 1: he brought to me page over to Geffen. So he
Speaker 1: he's like the top dog and they said, we'll come on,
Speaker 1: but we want John to be appearing on the show
Speaker 1: as well. That's nice. I'm pretty sure John was like,
Speaker 1: give me on the Simpsons. The other says he's just there.
Speaker 1: And also there's a line and I'm surprised the writers
Speaker 1: didn't know this. I guess that is issue rock band rockers,
Speaker 1: but they don't want to come up on stage at
Speaker 1: the start when they're first there at most and most
Speaker 1: says look free pickled eggs. Right, the original line was
Speaker 1: free beers. And they got up a line and they
Speaker 1: said rashly sober, now can we not do that? Please?
Speaker 1: And I like that they use because the pickled eggs
Speaker 1: at MO having a recurring game for a while, I have,
Speaker 1: haven't they? So the free picked eggs. They came up
Speaker 1: on stage and sang with mo and good for ma
Speaker 1: getting up theyre sing and walk this Way? And what
Speaker 1: was a big song? Even still ninety one big? That
Speaker 1: was eighty seven ish, I don't think so.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I was probably still in high school
Speaker 6: when it when it came out, Walk this Way?
Speaker 1: When did it come out? So? Aerosmith's version was ninety
Speaker 1: seventy five. The re release was in okay, says in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six. So yes, they originally released it in
Speaker 1: seventy five Aerosmith, and they re recorded it with run
Speaker 1: DMC for Walk This Way in eighty six, so five
Speaker 1: years after. So people are still talking about it. People
Speaker 1: still listening to it. Oh yeah, oh looking out of
Speaker 1: any sort of you play it now. People still love
Speaker 1: that song. Absolute kids love. It's just a great song.
Speaker 6: You got a weddings or sort of nightclubs for the
Speaker 6: over twenty eights and yeah, Walk This Way comes on.
Speaker 1: Backing up, you dispute is I say that joke every
Speaker 1: day right in this house. So you know when they
Speaker 1: say Simpsons quotes, this is a Simpsons quote. But we
Speaker 1: when we are lighting the stove, the electric stove every time,
Speaker 1: okay this and Nicholas like, you're ever gonna stop doing it?
Speaker 1: I'm like, you'll miss it if I do every Yeah,
Speaker 1: if they stop, He's like, ah, you know, Nicholas things
Speaker 1: every time I go, I will miss it. If she doesn't,
Speaker 1: if she wasn't here, I would miss hearing her say it.
Speaker 1: Of course. Yeah, oh yeah. The minute you stop doing
Speaker 1: your dumb in jokes, it's not a good feeling. I
Speaker 1: love it. Do you what? Also? I love I don't
Speaker 1: know how often we're doing what a lord? But huge ass?
Speaker 1: What the lord? Huge ass? Was? What a lord in
Speaker 1: He's probably called young man.
Speaker 6: He's probably caught so much flat for his name. But
Speaker 6: he has just become very very zen with it, accepted it,
Speaker 6: accepted it and rolls with it.
Speaker 1: Because if you get angry at it, I just keep
Speaker 1: doing it. They will. Indeed, so you jass just using
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu on the phone prank. It's just nice seeing
Speaker 1: bucket foiled. He's like, look they're left with you, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: look we've all been there. It's all good. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: a guy. I loved missus Kay in this Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously she's asking how to have an affair,
Speaker 1: but hope I mean, and I mean that in a
Speaker 1: very sex positive fashion. I love missus k. I love
Speaker 1: her a lot of the older I get, the more
Speaker 1: I love her, but just her with the come and
Speaker 1: get it missus Kay. And of course there are a.
Speaker 6: Few bits from from this episode that I've just entered
Speaker 6: into memology or certainly guys personal favorites. I mean, how
Speaker 6: many times have I said that's all right? I was
Speaker 6: thinking about simpledanic.
Speaker 1: I thought of you second us all that, but also, yeah,
Speaker 1: Homer getting all upset and then being super sarcastic and
Speaker 1: being the magical man from happy Land who lives in
Speaker 1: a Gundrob house on while it was in this episode. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's such an iconic moment, isn't it. It's really good.
Speaker 1: I've always enjoyed that. By the way, I've been sarcastic. Well,
Speaker 1: dird love that. I really liked the dig at Shelley
Speaker 1: long here. So she has since left cheers, right, that's
Speaker 1: what they've heard in here. But the line of just
Speaker 1: have to pursue a movie for Curia movie career. Frankly,
Speaker 1: I think she was better off here well played or
Speaker 1: Shelley for their movie. Creer didn't take off afterwards? No,
Speaker 1: not really, I mean yeah, she very rarely does. When
Speaker 1: you're in a huge sitcom, can you branch of into movies?
Speaker 1: Even the Friends cast. Jennifer Innison's done well for herself.
Speaker 1: Matthew Perry made a few movies. But Elden comes up
Speaker 1: a movie star. No, no, so you've got what's his name? Ross?
Speaker 1: What's his name? David Truman? He I'm thinking of Raymond
Speaker 1: Raymond was the voice from I Sage. So David s
Speaker 1: Troms done, not that he has to do anything. Both
Speaker 1: of you even tried matt LeBlanc Tribe was Lost in Space.
Speaker 1: Didn't work.
Speaker 6: Anyone that they made where they were like star vehicles, Yeah,
Speaker 6: not many of them were.
Speaker 1: Missi Caudro had a sitcom for a while which didn't
Speaker 1: last long. No, No, I mean a lot of it.
Speaker 1: A lot of the tried sitcoms where it was like
Speaker 1: beast on their real life. Because Joey had the sitcom Joe,
Speaker 1: but then he had the show what was a Call
Speaker 1: where he was playing Matt LeBlanc, but it was called Episodes.
Speaker 1: Actually I liked it. Episodes was actually pretty funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just think I just think the world wasn't quite
Speaker 1: ready for that. No, it was a little bit sort
Speaker 1: of meta humor, and we hadn't quite entered that phase
Speaker 1: all sitcoms are now. You know. That was about what
Speaker 1: ten or twelve years ago, I reckon, Yeah, because it
Speaker 1: was like Kirby Enthusiasm kind of fit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it was a combination as well of British
Speaker 6: and American humor as well, because I mean, I think
Speaker 6: the guys who created it were Brits and they came over.
Speaker 6: It was like, oh we got the opportunity to work
Speaker 6: in Hollywood and what a clash of cultures.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no. D The Comeback was the least
Speaker 1: could two seasons, two thousand and five, so that was
Speaker 1: a long time. I thought it was recent. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think it was one that was very beloved by
Speaker 6: a small but vocal cohorter people who were like, bring
Speaker 6: back the comeback, bring back the comeback.
Speaker 1: She had one called web Therapy. That's the recent one,
Speaker 1: twenty fifty. Yeah, she's one that way for four seasons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's on something on Netflix at the moment. I think
Speaker 1: it's called No Good Deed. I think she co stars Weirk.
Speaker 1: I want to say Ray Romano, all right, apparently not bad, but.
Speaker 6: You're right, Yeah, there are very few sort of sitcom
Speaker 6: stars who have yet really taken that and run with it.
Speaker 6: Really the one that sort of stands out as Michael J.
Speaker 1: Fox. Yeah, but even still his movie career was kind
Speaker 1: of short lived, kind of Yeah, but then he was
Speaker 1: back on Spin City again. That's true. Now, how much
Speaker 1: of that had to do with his Parkinson's die, I
Speaker 1: don't know sure, because he had Parkinson's during Spin City,
Speaker 1: didn't he Yeah.
Speaker 6: At the same time, he could also sense that his
Speaker 6: movie career, Yeah, it was kind of it was making
Speaker 6: a lot of real again three three and a half
Speaker 6: star comedy.
Speaker 1: He always he couldn't be like I dont think people
Speaker 1: were ready for like thirty to forty year old Michael J. Fox.
Speaker 1: They wanted the young, they needed him young and boyish,
Speaker 1: and with all due respect to Michael Fox, he just
Speaker 1: didn't quite have the range to cut it as a
Speaker 1: dramatic actor. And Spin City, yeah, oh yeah. Look, look
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of time. I love Spin City,
Speaker 1: I love it. Look, I've got a lot of time
Speaker 1: for Mark Jay Fox.
Speaker 6: I think he's His comic time is almost second to none,
Speaker 6: Fantastic on family times, irreplaceable, in the Back of the
Speaker 6: Future movie that you can never you put him in
Speaker 6: something like because he was making an effort to branch
Speaker 6: out and be a bit more serious, and he was
Speaker 6: in it was in a movie called Casualties of War?
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 6: Sean Penn was a very It's a very grim, very
Speaker 6: downbeat Vietnam War movie. And this is the story I
Speaker 6: remember from the most, is Sean Pens being a real
Speaker 6: mind fucker, and because his character has to get under
Speaker 6: Michael J. Fox's skin and be an antagonist, and he
Speaker 6: was basically just calling Michael Jay Fox a TV act
Speaker 6: of the whole time and just like you can't cut it,
Speaker 6: you don't, you don't have it, and doing it to
Speaker 6: sort of build that tension at the same time. I
Speaker 6: don't know, I'm wondering how much of that really sort
Speaker 6: of got under his skin. But yeah, I can't really
Speaker 6: think of any other sort of sitcom actors.
Speaker 1: Who've gone on to be like huge on screen not
Speaker 1: voice acting on screen movie stars. Yeah, Jennifer Aston would
Speaker 1: have to be the most popular.
Speaker 6: Probably, but even then, I mean, is there any movie
Speaker 6: that's like it's a Jennifer Andiston starring vehicle? Means it's
Speaker 6: normally like in.
Speaker 1: The early two thousands she had a shadow, Yes, but
Speaker 1: I mean stuff like picture Perfect and all that.
Speaker 6: It's not really she has her TV shirt on Amazon now.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Morning, yeh Morning wasn't done well, but I
Speaker 6: mean he's back on streaming. I mean, Moonlighting wasn't really
Speaker 6: a sitcom, so you can't say that Bruce Willis's transfer
Speaker 6: was that. Likewise, Travolter I mean yeah, really he was
Speaker 6: kind of a breakout of Welcome Back Cotter.
Speaker 1: But I mean, Gabe Kaplan is the star. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but Vine Barbara was designed as a stuff, but he
Speaker 1: quickly became the star of people tuned in for Vinnie.
Speaker 1: That's true. Interesting. Kaplan was the straight man for Vinnie. Oh,
Speaker 1: he was a straight man for for the sweat Hogs
Speaker 1: can bring that show back, you can't bring how many
Speaker 1: dogs are still with us?
Speaker 6: But yeah, but I mean, I mean Kevin James was
Speaker 6: there for a while. Helen Hunt, Helen Hunter, I guess,
Speaker 6: but I think Helen Hunt was pretty.
Speaker 1: Well regarded before DAVIDO. Oh, that's good point. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: are all these theos and taxi right he was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but again that's Ryan Reynolds of course. Yeah, but even then,
Speaker 1: but even then, because I'm reading, I'm reading a bit
Speaker 1: about Ryan real because Bateman. Mmmm oh that's a tough one.
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt mm hmm yeah, merely Kuness, Ashton Kutcher. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 6: Now, we're just now we're just saying names. Now, we're
Speaker 6: just saying names. Were the sake of saying names? Tell
Speaker 6: us what you think?
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're still listening to this after we'd just
Speaker 1: I feel that I said to pretty much nail it
Speaker 1: right though, Ryan RealD he started on a two guys
Speaker 1: got a piece of place. Now he's one of the
Speaker 1: biggest movie stars in the world, that's true.
Speaker 6: But was there a sort of an It felt like
Speaker 6: there was a bit of a thing in the wild
Speaker 6: for a while before you know, you've got the end
Speaker 6: of Two Girls in the Pizza Place.
Speaker 1: Ed waiting and he played Deadpool, But like in Wolvering,
Speaker 1: didn't he Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you've got the Yeah, there's a fair bit of space.
Speaker 6: And in Blade Trinity, No, no, he was a different
Speaker 6: It was a different character in Blade trin okay, but
Speaker 6: he played Wage Wilson slash Deadpool in X Men Origins Wolverine.
Speaker 6: Terrible movie is it? Yeah, it's no good. The one
Speaker 6: was they released footage and it was wasn't finished or something.
Speaker 1: I think they basically released the movie like it got
Speaker 1: pired and it got released really early but hadn't finished
Speaker 1: at the CGI. That could be it. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just bad from the from the jump anyway. Anyway, let's
Speaker 1: get Ino flaming motion. We've gotten way off track and
Speaker 1: the other favorite moment school I really liked.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 1: Another moment that I really enjoyed was but bringing he's
Speaker 1: in myers, Homer, right, he brings to the alcohol to school.
Speaker 1: Are they liquor bottles enough for everybody? You can take
Speaker 1: one and whatever? It's not finished by the end of
Speaker 1: the day. I was left, you have it the end
Speaker 1: of the day. Yes, I've got to get.
Speaker 6: Props to Homer for remembering, you know, the sort of
Speaker 6: exact measurements and all that, because I mean, he basically
Speaker 6: made it out of scraps. He's He's like Tony Skark,
Speaker 6: Tony Stark.
Speaker 1: The thing about this episode is that for the sake
Speaker 1: convenience for the story, they don't have Homer ruined the day.
Speaker 1: Hope could have easily just made his own flamming mote
Speaker 1: at his house. Oh yeah, it's not like it could
Speaker 1: only be made At most he could have started making
Speaker 1: his own one and going here, this is it the original? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Or you could have had Homer go this is a
Speaker 1: different way for the story of Hammer go I know
Speaker 1: what the secret ingredient is. If you don't want me
Speaker 1: to tell anybody, you need to pay me. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: could be another interest, could be an interesting Storylinder next
Speaker 1: question you there eating the past. Let's get his some trivia,
Speaker 1: shall we. Let's all right. My first question for you
Speaker 1: is who sank to the bottom of the Dead Sea. Well,
Speaker 1: it's either Paddy or Selma. Was it Paddy? Oh you
Speaker 1: got it wrong? Oh damn you lucky coin that I flipped. Okay.
Speaker 1: Then Lisa has a poster in her bedroom. It's for
Speaker 1: It's for a good cause. What is that cause? I
Speaker 1: think it might have been Corey because it's like season three,
Speaker 1: is Simpson's clue at you? So say the clue again.
Speaker 1: It's for a good cause, for a good cause, Yes,
Speaker 1: save the whales or something like that. Is it such
Speaker 1: contempt for the whales that good cause? No, it's end

Speaker 1: of those things where we go I know it technically
Speaker 1: have did not speak, but it's just one of the
Speaker 1: things we always do. Picture the punch for the first
Speaker 1: day of the month. Why man, why is that still
Speaker 1: something we do? We just do it. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: I'm not going to break my mother's back if I
Speaker 1: step on that, I'm not gonna do it. Anyway. Is
Speaker 1: that something around the world. Step on a crack, you
Speaker 1: break your mother's back. I want to know. Let us know, listeners,
Speaker 1: mail Mega for for your discount dot com dot are you?
Speaker 1: Are you scared of breaking your mother's back if you
Speaker 1: step on a crack? Let us stop? But but then
Speaker 1: once Homer to say his name, eventually he lose it,
Speaker 1: punches and Begod, he said his name without without him
Speaker 1: saying it. Then they chase him for a makeover. You
Speaker 1: get into the bedroom, they unscrewed the door. Incredibly persistent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it jumps through the window. They se him Maggie they
Speaker 1: do they make Maggie over instead. I was like that
Speaker 1: did I'm out of here? They set at the door.
Speaker 1: The only thing here They never established where Marge is.
Speaker 1: I was wondering about that. Did he just leave them
Speaker 1: home by himself? Was Marge just?
Speaker 6: I think marg was in the bed and I think
Speaker 6: so he's staying up and get a little on Springfield.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, but Moe is a business is slow at
Speaker 1: the moment, so home he goes to visit him. You know,
Speaker 1: everyone's healthier, they're drinking less. And it was for the
Speaker 1: junior high school next door. This is the next door.
Speaker 1: I think this is over the road or whatever. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't be then it was used a cigarette machine. What
Speaker 1: are the reasons that these businesses down? Well, he bought
Speaker 1: the love tester, yes, but increased job satisfaction, that family togetherness.
Speaker 1: They're poisoned for itvalor of mind numbing intoxins like himself.

Speaker 1: out of beer if we spent the last ten k
Speaker 1: and the love test, that's right, Yes, that's not. That's
Speaker 1: great for a bar No, no, And Barney is sucked
Speaker 1: at the taps dry. Oh, just like cub his gums
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I'm like, oh my god, that's gross. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you know the feeling when you bite your gum,
Speaker 1: like when you and you genuinely just chomp down on
Speaker 1: the inside of your mouth. Oh yeah, Oh, it's one
Speaker 1: of those things that just makes my skin crawl. Oh yeah, No,
Speaker 1: nothing worse than that. There are things worse. As we
Speaker 1: were established, that's true.
Speaker 6: Okay, we're not. We're no longer your house of bipurbole.
Speaker 6: Full finger discount.
Speaker 1: We've got that's bad. That's bad. That's good. But that's bad.
Speaker 1: He says, we need to do something different. So it
Speaker 1: gets at the cocktail chart, Gin and Tonic do they mix?
Speaker 1: And Homer remembers a flaming Homer. The drink recipe is
Speaker 1: telling all about it. Patty and someone were going through
Speaker 1: their slides, and they've got their hairy legs because they
Speaker 1: know that the shaver very yellow drumstick. It's a great line.
Speaker 1: So he goes to get a beer, but I think
Speaker 1: it's Paddy has the last one, so he makes his
Speaker 1: own beer.
Speaker 8: He started to mix the little bits that were left
Speaker 8: in every liquor bottle. In my haste, they had grabbed
Speaker 8: a bottle of the kids Court syrup. It passed the
Speaker 8: first test. They didn't go blind.
Speaker 1: Paddy's cigarette but falls into it, sets it on fire,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I know what it is,
Speaker 1: but fire made it good. Didn't understand the signs, but
Speaker 1: I made it good. Yeah, checks he's lost and found
Speaker 1: for some cough syrup. He finds something in there. Mostly
Speaker 1: thought that his charm. Love it, light it on fire.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Yeah, it looks like a party in his
Speaker 1: mouth and everyone's inn. They used that line a lot
Speaker 1: in the earlier Simpsons. I think they use it again
Speaker 1: when the maybe the same season. I think Homer at
Speaker 1: the Bat. I think it's the pilot of the premier
Speaker 1: free with a guy and drinks. But that's where it
Speaker 1: gets gigantism. Their pony in my mouth and everyone's knowed it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good line. The guy that loved testing, he
Speaker 1: says Buster, he wants his nickelbacks, so Mo just gives
Speaker 1: him a flaming Mo and the dies cast. As we
Speaker 1: said earlier, it's a spura of the moment decision. Moe's
Speaker 1: businesses down. I can understand why someone like Mo would
Speaker 1: do it, doesn't mean it doesn't make it right. We
Speaker 1: come back from commercial and Moe's businesses absolutely booming. Now
Speaker 1: got a salad bar and everything with a sneeze guard,
Speaker 1: with a sneeze guard, market establishment which works. Yeah, when's
Speaker 1: the last time we went to a place with a
Speaker 1: salad bar? Oh? Gosh, is all you can eat? Place
Speaker 1: we go to has a salad bar, but you never
Speaker 1: get salad you can eat.
Speaker 6: Place, absolutely not. Look, no time in living memory have
Speaker 6: I attended to play with a salad bar.
Speaker 1: I remember it was a sizzler, Yeah, sizzler or you
Speaker 1: can eat salad bar. Because no one ever reads it,
Speaker 1: no one, no one. It's not false advertised, but everyone
Speaker 1: just likes saying all you can eat. The idea of
Speaker 1: it's all you can eat eat, it's when you go
Speaker 1: to America. One of the things I found was you
Speaker 1: go there, you buy a drink, but everywhere was free
Speaker 1: top ups. That's right. Yeah. I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: need three letters of PEPSI, but I'm gonna take it.
Speaker 1: There is a reason that's the greatest country in the world,
Speaker 1: isn't there. Well, it was great about the movies there.
Speaker 1: It's freetops and popcorn as well. What you could eat
Speaker 1: all your popcorn, go back there and they refill it
Speaker 1: for you. I could not believe it. I know you're
Speaker 1: not a fan of popcorn, but nicol and I was free, Well,
Speaker 1: let's just buy one, eat it all, and then go
Speaker 1: get another one instead of buying two. I was like,
Speaker 1: let's do that. Very smart woman, she's a genius, all right.
Speaker 1: But everyone's enjoying, flaming. Most of these businesses booming as
Speaker 1: we were saying, yeah, But Homer questions, I wonder if
Speaker 1: all the businesses here because of the drink. I wonder
Speaker 1: if that's the reason. Nah, maybe maybe it's not the
Speaker 1: only reason. And I hate this joke, but I love
Speaker 1: this drink. Co It then arrives Markeep.
Speaker 4: I couldn't help noticing your sign, the one that says by,
Speaker 4: can just do it till your boy.
Speaker 2: No above that store bought drowlery.
Speaker 4: Oh great, why don't we bell out an application? I
Speaker 4: need your name, measurements and turn ons.
Speaker 2: You really expect me to tell you my measurements?
Speaker 4: You could, but I find this way is much more
Speaker 4: accurate and fun. What do you offer in the way
Speaker 4: of salary, minimum waging tips? Of course there are a
Speaker 4: fringe benefits, such as an unforgettable weekend at club mode.
Speaker 1: I'd prefer to take my vacation someplace hot.
Speaker 2: I like your MAXI kid, you're hired. You shan't regret this, methinks,
Speaker 2: I shan't.
Speaker 1: Real sex past. But that's not like real cheese dialogue,
Speaker 1: didn't it? Oh yeah, yeah, I mean that's something you
Speaker 1: could actually imagine, say Malone, Yeah, definitely. What are you offer?
Speaker 1: Minimum wage and tips? Stringe benefits, some very love It's
Speaker 1: then when you were doing it that way, these benefits
Speaker 1: and so from tipsy mixed staggers, good time drinking and
Speaker 1: eating emporium. I would go to this place, as would I.
Speaker 1: I wonder if I want a place that has a
Speaker 1: ridiculous name like that. My uncle Moe's family feedback I
Speaker 1: don't really exist in him. They don't even TGIFS is
Speaker 1: kind of everyone's trying to the upper class now. It's
Speaker 1: like everyone's afraid to just be just average. Just just
Speaker 1: a place where, you know, good sliders, cheap beer, pool table. Fuck,
Speaker 1: that's all I need. We need a Denny's or something
Speaker 1: like that. I've never been to a Denny's, but were
Speaker 1: just The Sporting Club used to feel like that for
Speaker 1: us when it first started. Now it's like twenty five
Speaker 1: dollars for chicken bites as a starter, and I went.
Speaker 1: What happened? I trusted? I trusted you. Yeah, many places
Speaker 1: where you just go there. We're just get a burger,
Speaker 1: some fries, play some pool, play pinball machine, there's music
Speaker 1: players at jukebox. That's what I want. It'd be nice.
Speaker 1: What's your ideal your ideal place? Because I'm going out
Speaker 1: for a feed. What's your ideal establishment? What do you
Speaker 1: want in there? Depends on the mood, I guess, but yeah,
Speaker 1: Friday night, you and Lou like, let's goat and have
Speaker 1: dinner somewhere, nothing fancy. What are you doing? What would
Speaker 1: you want? What would you want? What will be your
Speaker 1: dream place? There's a pub in Packingham Street here in
Speaker 1: Geelong called the Petrol. You go there, that looks scary.
Speaker 1: It has been made over and fixed it up. Yet
Speaker 1: it's been made over recently sort of but not in
Speaker 1: overly gentrified.
Speaker 6: It's kind of got. It's the hipster's version of what
Speaker 6: an old timey pub was.
Speaker 1: I sort have made it hipsterish, have that it's not
Speaker 1: hipster ish, but it's kind of like you take a
Speaker 1: look at it's like, oh, this looks like the same
Speaker 1: old pub, but it's like, oh the table is just
Speaker 1: a little bit neater, or oh this one's been handmade
Speaker 1: or something, and then it's like, oh your chips are
Speaker 1: hand cut and all that kind of shit. It's just
Speaker 1: just just to interrupt. So this is what the Petrol
Speaker 1: used to be. Like, this is just as Niccola had.
Speaker 1: So it must have been twenty nineteen, just before COVID,
Speaker 1: because Niccola had had Alliott. And we walked in. Of
Speaker 1: course Nicholas Bastfitting at the time, right, Elliot's not there.
Speaker 1: We walked in and there's just all these old men
Speaker 1: in there and just turn it's all like stared. No
Speaker 1: one says anything, and we also and then one guy
Speaker 1: is hum, and just go check out the fun bags.
Speaker 1: And we just went let's leave. That's what happened. He
Speaker 1: just goes check out the fun bags. The petrol was
Speaker 1: indeed very much like that for a very very long time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I won't say like on its last legs, but I
Speaker 1: mean the bare minimum of a pub. Yeah. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: been bought. It's been not made over, but sort of
Speaker 1: tarted up just a little bit.
Speaker 6: Uh lu and I and Felix went there for dinner
Speaker 6: a little while ago, and let's yeah, well let's just
Speaker 6: get the basic pub grab. We'll get a steak, we
Speaker 6: get some crum kalamari, or get a parmi.
Speaker 1: It's like, this is all good. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: not again I'm using the term a lot today, but
Speaker 1: this is bear three and a half, the four star
Speaker 1: meal and five four star. But yeah, really it was
Speaker 1: a good party. What was the price? What would you
Speaker 1: make the prices? Oh, it wasn't super expensive, but yeah,
Speaker 1: because you go to if it's between twenty and twenty
Speaker 1: five for a parmy, you're doing well. I think it
Speaker 1: might have been a little bit more than that, might
Speaker 1: have been just under thirty three and a half.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean, yeah, just a good candory at
Speaker 6: a good hotel. That is, you don't necessarily feel like
Speaker 6: you've got to put on your Sunday best to go there,
Speaker 6: but you will put on an shirt.
Speaker 1: I don't want that. I want to play riders, go
Speaker 1: and have a fu some sliders.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're talking about like the my what's
Speaker 1: the word, I'm looking for, ideal place, ideal experience, That's
Speaker 1: what I asked you. Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Look, there are certain occasions when I'm going to be
Speaker 6: dressed like I'm dressed right now. It's just like, okay,
Speaker 6: well I'll go to Sam's and get a get a kebab.
Speaker 6: I didn't do yesterday, but I might do today. But
Speaker 6: that's what I'm thinking. Yeah, but you've made your position
Speaker 6: quite yeah, yes, yes, and I like the idea of
Speaker 6: your establishment as well. Yeah, pool table, jukebox TV's on.
Speaker 1: In the corner, srt C, I t what are the
Speaker 1: old TVs called? What are the old box ones? It's
Speaker 1: going to be a forty centimeter TV, the little square
Speaker 1: one black and white, handful of things on the menu.
Speaker 1: But they get it just right. I mean, yeah, I've
Speaker 1: always said if I was going to open a cafe,
Speaker 1: have like you mums out the back making the sandwiches.
Speaker 1: You have four.
Speaker 6: Sandwiches on the menu and coffees, and that would pretty
Speaker 6: much be it.
Speaker 1: Really Yeah. Yeah, on maybe like a little thing with
Speaker 1: like you get bottled water or coke. You have something
Speaker 1: for kids. Yeah, oh you can make a bubba chan
Speaker 1: or hot chocolate. We went to a cafe recently and
Speaker 1: it was like it's called like a restaurant almost. It
Speaker 1: was quite big and they didn't have nuggets for kids,
Speaker 1: and I went, I was sure he's running this place.
Speaker 6: But yeah, they'd clearly don't want places but they don't
Speaker 6: want to child and patrons. Yeah, some places, I like
Speaker 6: a lot of people have kids. Well these guys, these
Speaker 6: guys have clearly either done their research or just taken
Speaker 6: a punt and saying, oh it was empty. Some places
Speaker 6: want to go somewhere where other people aren't going to
Speaker 6: bring their kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, it's a bold stretch.
Speaker 3: Pardon me, Are you the genius behind the Flaming Mob?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm your man.
Speaker 3: My name's Hag Banner Star. I worked for Tipsy Mxstiger's
Speaker 3: a good time drinking and eating and phim.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Hey, what's mister mcstagger really life?
Speaker 3: Actually, there is no Tipsy mixstagger. He's just a composite
Speaker 3: of other successful logos.
Speaker 2: Well you tell him from me that he makes one
Speaker 2: great not so realistic.
Speaker 1: Yes, fine, I will.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I've gone a proposition for you.
Speaker 2: Keep talking.
Speaker 3: We feel your flaming mo is perfect for our restaurant train.
Speaker 3: We want to buy the ruscip no dice.
Speaker 4: The flaming mo is not for sale. Do you know
Speaker 4: how much of my blood and sweater in this drink?
Speaker 4: Figerous peach?
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 1: Have I'll be back so have there has poured the
Speaker 1: drink into the case. This must this must be what
Speaker 1: the colonel went through back in the day. Oh goodness.
Speaker 1: Yet people are trying to get that recipe.
Speaker 6: Give me one hundred bits of chicken, picking the skin
Speaker 6: of every bit and just die secting.
Speaker 1: Like it astounds me that it's not out. Is that
Speaker 1: a hint of human Yeah, everybody is trying to we
Speaker 1: have laboratories. Well, how many times, I mean, how many
Speaker 1: times have you looked online for like KFC hit what
Speaker 1: is the KFC recipe? It tastes fine, but it's not
Speaker 1: quite KFC it's not quite. I reckon it might be
Speaker 1: what they cook it in as well, because there's obviously
Speaker 1: a particular brand of whatever they cooking it in the oil.
Speaker 1: I reckon the secret recipe is not in the chicken,
Speaker 1: it's in what they're cooking it in. Hey, I think
Speaker 1: the secret ingredient is love actra salt, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Harvey is pouring his drink into the drinking
Speaker 1: to the briefcase. The bottle in the briefcase. I like
Speaker 1: the name half Banister Banister. That just strikes me as
Speaker 1: a really good Simpson's name. Half Banister. You never come
Speaker 1: back to this, is it?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 6: But I mean it feels like it just feels like
Speaker 6: fun in the writer's rooms, Like what are we gonna
Speaker 6: call this guy?
Speaker 1: Half Halvey is a very busy this man name of
Speaker 1: course Harvey Birdman, Harvey, who's avident? What's a Harvey or
Speaker 1: even Harvey warbanger Yes later alluded to in this episode
Speaker 1: Let's not Talk to the old movie Mogle, Barney says
Speaker 1: that man only an idiot give away a million dollar
Speaker 1: idea like this? Why would you ever do it?
Speaker 5: Home?
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god, I did that Martin then
Speaker 1: showing the gas chromat What is it? Chromatograph? Chromatograph? What
Speaker 1: is that? What do they do? I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I was gonna look it up. No, forgot because I
Speaker 1: was taking my notes. Have a look gas, but it
Speaker 1: makes an opinion. It is an analytical instrument that measures
Speaker 1: the content of various components in a sample. The analysis
Speaker 1: performed by a gas chromatograph. It's called gas chromatography. Well,
Speaker 1: i'm Martin, Wow infotainment. Yes, I pitied the poor student
Speaker 1: who has to follow you, and it's Barton. I was
Speaker 1: a button Myers Homer. Oh yeah, yeah, he's not the
Speaker 1: smartest guy. But no, he created the flaming Homer.
Speaker 6: Well that's the thing, and we're used to, uh, well
Speaker 6: maybe we're just used to the underachieving kid, but in
Speaker 6: this case getting up and like, oh, you know, he's
Speaker 6: gonna half past his way through it or whatever, so
Speaker 6: I know he actually gives a proper presentation. Yeah, because
Speaker 6: as you said, it's pride and his father and his achievements.
Speaker 1: But Nelson calls him out and says, no, I love
Speaker 1: that you were first to intou mo the bartender? Did
Speaker 1: his name the Bartender?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm amazed that the Flaming Mo, Yeah, has has
Speaker 6: got such reach that even the kids are talking about it.
Speaker 1: When did they reveal Sislack was his last name? That's
Speaker 1: a good question, when reveal Mo SiZ Lac? I think
Speaker 1: it was mister Burns, wasn't it? Because they had the
Speaker 1: eminent MS. So that's why he's called the Barton here.
Speaker 1: That's the joke, because he didn't have he didn't have
Speaker 1: a last name. Yeah, yeah, we go. I thought it
Speaker 1: was there because they had to have the M and s. Again, infotainment,
Speaker 1: it's entertaining, but you're also being in full way tuned
Speaker 1: into the shell guys. Missus Case says that bar has
Speaker 1: to take all the liquor to the teacher's lounge. Then
Speaker 1: we get Flaming Mos. He now has a fancy new sign.
Speaker 1: He's upmarket. Now, Krusty has arrived and it's Paparazzi Day.
Speaker 1: Punches the paparazzi in the face. Veterans Day is now
Speaker 1: known as two things and the various newspapers. We've got
Speaker 1: the Springfield Shop for saying the wizard on walnut streaked time,
Speaker 1: he says one more for the road and Barron Still
Speaker 1: Magazine says through the roof. Homer is annoyed. At the
Speaker 1: dinner table at the Simpsons house, Lisa asked for a
Speaker 1: virgin Mos. Grow Bart's wearing a I got toasted at
Speaker 1: Flaming Most T shirt where he got that. I have
Speaker 1: no idea because I don't think he went to Flaming Mos.
Speaker 1: Maybe he did, I don't think he would. Margin says,
Speaker 1: do your pals and Uncle Rico do a T shirt
Speaker 1: like that? I got toasted Flaming Mon all the everyone
Speaker 1: does it, like just like the bootleg ones like Red
Speaker 1: Bubble and Teapublic, in that people aren't going to pay
Speaker 1: top dollar for a shirt that says that when you
Speaker 1: can get it for twenty bucks on those shirts on
Speaker 1: those websites. Marge then says, all vulnerable, gut sorry, gulible, Marge,
Speaker 1: w did you go asking to share? Ain't gonna happen?
Speaker 1: Homos Is'm two upset to eat. I'm just gonna go
Speaker 1: to mos hope. They tries skipping the line, but he's
Speaker 1: on the list. He's not allowed in. Like, here's the
Speaker 1: reason this people are he's allowed in, not letting him.
Speaker 4: In, Ladies and gentlemen, some new buddies of mine, stop

Speaker 1: that wasn't excellent. It's their voice of a guy. I'm like,

Speaker 1: the intego. That's it. Actually, you forgive about you Ros.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, well, you know, at least Sydney you're
Speaker 1: gonna put on a show for us as well. But
Speaker 1: this guy just has to do that. Oh no, oh no,
Speaker 1: I have to press it. Embarrassing, how embarrassing? Who says
Speaker 1: how embarrassing? It's Homer says it doesn't he at one
Speaker 1: point I have reviewed it, and he goes, I'm embarrassing
Speaker 1: and he walks off. Now, but it's one of I
Speaker 1: use that quote all the time. So yes, so things
Speaker 1: are going really well from from Home is not allowed in.
Speaker 1: But then misintroduced Aerosmith playing it Walk This Way. Great
Speaker 1: song I really liked. Whilst they were playing Walk this Way,
Speaker 1: that Otto and Cashmere just getting it down on the table.
Speaker 1: Not actually anybody like dancing with each other. Yes, in
Speaker 1: front of Ned and Maud, Ned and Wore were there.
Speaker 1: That's behind I just casch and Lenny seits his hair
Speaker 1: on fire. Jasper catches the towel I guess you could say,
Speaker 1: wipe his bead with it and walks off. Hope then
Speaker 1: enters through the toilet window. Bunny is in there with
Speaker 1: Mundo and Raffi, and then this is where Aerosmith call
Speaker 1: mo up. And I've been caught a couple of times.
Speaker 1: I used to do a lot of music stuff with
Speaker 1: Kate rock and radio and whatnot, and they see me there.
Speaker 1: They go get up on stage and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: here to see me. I know you think like this
Speaker 1: is cool, but I was like, if I'm going to
Speaker 1: a gig, I don't want some random on the stag
Speaker 1: in the song. You know, I'd always feel awkward being
Speaker 1: up there. And I'm like, I know, no one here
Speaker 1: down the crowd wants me here, but I'll go along.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I remember going to some confortable while back

Speaker 6: various bands, and the guy would be get the like okay,
Speaker 6: guess what next, guy, You're coming up by house, and
Speaker 6: but he was trying to do a bit more banter
Speaker 6: on top of that, and I'm like, I'd rather just,
Speaker 6: you know, hear the stuff that they're playing over the PA, like.
Speaker 1: The music that play in between the rather they'd get
Speaker 1: me up mid song. No, no, I know what you Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like that either. I just have to MC
Speaker 1: yeah gigs and like, hey, but he has together for
Speaker 1: this band. It's like no one always put their hands
Speaker 1: together for it. They were cheering whilst they were playing.

Speaker 1: we're gonna get it eventually, We're gonna lap. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna eventually figure it out. Professor Frink's there. The
Speaker 1: secret ingredient is love lab also, and they're using a
Speaker 1: gas chromatrop Are they? Oh, well done? I never even
Speaker 1: realized that. So it's amazing. You can watch these old
Speaker 1: classic episodes and there's so many jokes that just there's
Speaker 1: so many gags in there. They put them. They just
Speaker 1: put it all together with love and care. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: the secret recipe dies with me thirty cases of calf syrup.
Speaker 1: You hooked on And in the service that he says,
Speaker 1: Homer arrives at his new favorite watering hole, the Aristocrat.
Speaker 1: The guy pulls the gun, was couts home a furious
Speaker 1: at home, and Moe is now an iron Springfield. So
Speaker 1: I'm not sort of thing that at the start, Homer's
Speaker 1: loving infotament Iron Springfield most stolen his idea. It's all
Speaker 1: these callbacks, isn't it. Oh yeah, it's very good stuff.
Speaker 1: They go to see Lionel hearts what can we do
Speaker 1: about this? And he says, you can't copyright a drink.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It calls back to the Frank Warbanger case
Speaker 1: of seven. It was apparently a real case. Apparently, so
Speaker 1: it's got a link and everything. Homer is annoyed in bed,
Speaker 1: and this is where we get the magical Man from
Speaker 1: Happy Land moment, which I think the reason this is
Speaker 1: iconic that remember or I remember it's all from this
Speaker 1: because they played it in the clip shows, right, they
Speaker 1: kept playing it playing, And I think that's why I
Speaker 1: struggled remember which episode it's from. It's because I think
Speaker 1: it was just played back to back to back with
Speaker 1: the clips. Yeah, so March's Yeah, I love the marg
Speaker 1: again though the she tries to see the positivity and things,
Speaker 1: just find the soul, knowing that you're making people happy.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great, much making people. Mo was now in
Speaker 1: bed with collect after what he calls a happy hour,
Speaker 1: so mostly his mum. How long they got twenty minutes
Speaker 1: before she gets back on it. Yeah, and she says,
Speaker 1: you need to sell this drink and we'll get your
Speaker 1: favorite line. I was just thinking about Homer Simpson. That's
Speaker 1: I was thinking about simple Danning. Yes. So then she says,
Speaker 1: you just had to drink and give half the money
Speaker 1: to Homer. Sleep with the chick once a cush you're
Speaker 1: half with bananas. Mo has this. This is where Homer
Speaker 1: has his vision of Mo and I think this is
Speaker 1: one of the key moments in the episode. Just from
Speaker 1: an animation perspective. It's just so great where you know,
Speaker 1: everyone at home sounds have you made the lawn give
Speaker 1: me more money? Which hadn't come out yet that song
Speaker 1: My money hadn't no money, no problems, no mo money No.
Speaker 1: But I get the feeling it might have been. When
Speaker 1: did in Living Color come out? Well, that was early nineties,
Speaker 1: wasn't it. Yeah, because it's ninety one, because there was
Speaker 1: a it was a catchphrase of nineteen ninety it started.
Speaker 6: I think it was one of Damon Waynes's character's catchphrases
Speaker 6: because he actually made made a movie called mul Mooney,
Speaker 6: did he Yeah? Yeah, it came out like ninety ninety
Speaker 6: one or ninety two.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's called moul Mooney written by Damon Damon Wayne's
Speaker 1: Yeah mo Money soundtrack ninety ninety two. Because there's only
Speaker 1: two Yes, it was half this episode, okay.
Speaker 6: But I think the feeling that the the catchphrase was
Speaker 6: very popular on in Living Color. Yeah, but the More
Speaker 6: Money movie probably best known for having the best things
Speaker 6: laugh free on the soundtrack.
Speaker 1: That's a banger of a song. I love that song. Oh,
Speaker 1: I love Luthor. I love songs where you just get
Speaker 1: two people who soun out they're genuinely in love with
Speaker 1: each other. Really like that stumble learning and the remains

Speaker 1: nice moment.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't really they end with a gaggy but
Speaker 1: it's not like I thought they might have gone down there,
Speaker 1: think of most still charging him for it kind of thing,
Speaker 1: but they didn't. It's just they end with the sweet
Speaker 1: they're still friends. They've gone through this horrible ordeal. Most
Speaker 1: maybe made a bunch of money. Who knows they've come
Speaker 1: out the other side going to be here tonight. I
Speaker 1: doubt it. And that's the end of Flaming Mos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a reason why this one's alreadys put in the
Speaker 1: top ten lists of episodes. It's just it's so great. Well,
Speaker 1: it's got a good heart and guests, and here a
Speaker 1: great guest appearance, and as he said, it's got a
Speaker 1: lot of nothing's wasted.
Speaker 6: Here's a lot of good one lines, but also a
Speaker 6: lot of gags that are interconnected and callbacks and all
Speaker 6: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Really fun opening act as well with the slumber party.
Speaker 1: I just I think it's just it felt so real.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's an inciting incident that doesn't sort of hang.
Speaker 6: It works by itself, but it also doesn't stretch it
Speaker 6: out too long.
Speaker 1: How often do we find with said modern just like
Speaker 1: teen ere season twenty of The Simpsons, where we go
Speaker 1: all you have to do is at home? I get
Speaker 1: to this point. Why do you have to wait waste
Speaker 1: eight minutes of the episode to get to this? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So here it's over, has to
Speaker 1: get to Mos. We have, yeah, three minutes of Shenanians
Speaker 1: and is at most right it has no bearing on
Speaker 1: the story. No, but they work perfectly well by themselves.
Speaker 1: We do get infotainment though at the start that is great. Yes,
Speaker 1: and apparently that was something that happened to It was
Speaker 1: based on an experienced Algae and Haw when he was
Speaker 1: a kid with the slumber party. That's what it was
