So we're here 38 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.799 with Daniel. How are you doing, Dan? 39 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.079 Hey? Good, Thanks guys. How are you guys? 40 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.000 Oh fantastic, Thank you for joining us. So we're obviously 41 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.599 here to talk about the Simpsons. But before we talk 42 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.280 about the Simpsons, you've got a lot of stuff going 43 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.319 on them. We just released a special recently, let's talk 44 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:11.680 about that. 45 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.680 Yeah, just probably about well a month ago, I think 46 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.199 it was, I released my third special called Little Lossie Batler, 47 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.319 which is a show I toured all through twenty twenty 48 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.039 four and then filmed it at the end of twenty 49 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.120 four and then yeah, I listed about a month ago. Yeah, 50 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.680 it's kind of the way of the world now with 51 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.000 social media and needing to keep up with clips. Yeah, 52 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.719 filming your special every year now is kind of the 53 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.479 norm so used to not be, but I've released maybe 54 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.599 three in four years now, So yeah, just keeping up 55 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.439 with the younger generation and social media. 56 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.879 You're like Smithers, You've got the grind set mate, You're 57 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.560 just working twenty four to seven. 58 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:53.159 That's it. 59 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:53.639 I must admit. 60 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.080 When I was doing my research about you on the internet, 61 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.479 found your LinkedIn profile, which is something I haven't seen 62 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.479 a lot of sort of comedians have. Actually, I'm wondering 63 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.680 how sort of vital that is in today's entertainment industry 64 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.159 to be not just across across the socials, but across well, 65 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.199 apparently increasingly the social or the business. 66 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.479 Yeah, it's becoming definitely more and more. The LinkedIn one, 67 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.080 thankfully is run by my manager, so I don't know 68 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:18.919 anything about it. 69 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.400 All have to do anything with that one. 70 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.360 I control Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and that's that's enough 71 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:28.319 for me, But yeah. 72 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:29.039 The important stuff. 73 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.400 Yeah, there's so much now you need to do if 74 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.680 you want it, basically, if you want to stay relevant. 75 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.199 And it's pretty tricky because everybody. Now if I go 76 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.719 to a open mic on a Tuesday night, everybody's got 77 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.400 their camera set up the back, everybody's filming everything, and 78 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:46.479 that's just never ending. 79 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.759 I suppose it makes it easier to get discovered, right 80 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.520 if you're recording your stuff off time, because if you 81 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.120 didn't have a need back in the day, now that 82 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.400 you've got the need to do it, it's sort of 83 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.479 you don't have to be flogging DVD's all the time. 84 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.000 It's just just go to my YouTube channel and you 85 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.639 can check out my stuff exactly. 86 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:03.039 Yeah, yeah, it's it's a fine line. I see some 87 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.680 people filming that are quite new, and you I wouldn't 88 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.479 want to be putting stuff up that when I'm that new, 89 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.560 because if something does go viral and you then have 90 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.039 to back it up with a live show, you haven't 91 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.680 got the chops as of yet. So it's that fine 92 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.720 balance of knowing when to start posting and releasing stuff. 93 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.000 But yeah, everybody sort of figures it out on the run. 94 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.199 It's also new, you know, it's filming everything. It's only 95 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.160 come in the last sort of since Covid, I've really 96 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.319 noticed a big uptick in people filming their sets, so 97 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.279 everybody's kind of figuring it out. 98 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:35.839 On the run. 99 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.959 I saw you've given up on your podcast pre covid. 100 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:39.959 Is that ever going to return? 101 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:41.759 Yeah? 102 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.399 Yeah, I don't know, as you would be full aware 103 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.879 running a podcast is it takes you know, it's not 104 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.800 just one day of recording. You're doing days in the 105 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.720 lead up, and it was taking a little bit of 106 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.519 time away from the stand up, which is where I 107 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.680 was making money. So yeah, it was it was a 108 00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.720 tricky balance. I'm sure if I kept it going, i'd 109 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.959 probably be up to, you know, a few hundred episodes now, 110 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.120 maybe be making some money off it. But yeah, I 111 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.800 just got to fifty. I thought that's a nice that's 112 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:06.920 a nice number to finish on. 113 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.160 How important has it been being on shows like have 114 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.199 you been paying attention in recent years? 115 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:11.759 Yeah? 116 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:16.600 That that definitely is a huge help with ticket sales 117 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.480 and just getting your name. 118 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.439 Out there a bit more for sure. Yeah. 119 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.040 You know, social media is especially TikTok and Instagram are 120 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.160 probably the way a lot of people are blowing up 121 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.480 now and getting their fans. Like, there's people on there 122 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.600 that have you know, five hundred thousand followers and don't 123 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.199 get any TV in Australia but can sell out theaters 124 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.800 and really big rooms. But yeah, have you been paying attention? 125 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.759 Especially it's probably one of the last places you can 126 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.319 really show your comedy chops on Ossie TV. But when 127 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.959 I was a teenager, there was loads. They used to 128 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.800 have stand up on the Footage show and hey hey, 129 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.240 and even some of the morning shows used to have 130 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.639 a stand up spot. There was lots of opportunities when 131 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.600 now it's kind of not really any chances to do 132 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.839 stand up apart from the Gala on TV. 133 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.040 So have you been paying attention? 134 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.800 Is a really important one for comedians just to be 135 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.199 able to show that they can be funny. And then yeah, 136 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.920 you do notice a little uptick in ticket sales from that. 137 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.800 Well, I'm wondering how important things like the Melbourne Comedy 138 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.839 Festival are still. I mean, because they when I was 139 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.519 growing up, and you know, it was pretty much a 140 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.120 pivotal event and everyone was talking about who was who 141 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.120 was coming out or who had new shows premiering, and 142 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.600 things like that I'm wondering if that's still something that 143 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.720 you can I don't know us as a selling point 144 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.600 because you're an award winner from this year's Comedy Festival, right, 145 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.879 the Piece of Wood award, I understand, which sounds incredibly prestigious. 146 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.560 Yeah, the festival is still still pretty good. I think 147 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.319 a lot of rest of us that had comedy in them. 148 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.600 You know, it's a bit tricky. It cost so much 149 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:57.079 to run festivals now and the competition is so fierce, 150 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:03.879 Like pretty much every American comedian, UK comedian, Indian comedians 151 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.639 are coming in now and all year around now they're 152 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.160 selling out rod Labor and palais and especially this is 153 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.800 it just in Melbourne where I think ten years ago 154 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.680 maybe four or five big names would come out and 155 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.399 to it. So the festival was a huge draw card 156 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.839 and everyone would use that month to see their comedy 157 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.600 for the year. That was when you went and saw comedy. 158 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.319 But people are seeing it every day of the week now. 159 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.079 I did a gig at the palais not too long 160 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.279 ago and they had about you know, they were just 161 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.560 full of just shows and people podcasters and people I'd 162 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.399 never heard of before that were selling three thousand tickets there. 163 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.000 So yeah, the festival is still great for us to 164 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.879 be able to showcase it, but it is it's got 165 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.920 a lot of competition now compared to what it did 166 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.720 even five years ago. I feel like crowds are still 167 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.920 coming out and Melbourne, you know, people have that in there, 168 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.160 especially Melbourne. People have it in there there and ad 169 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.600 to go on sera show at the Comedy Festival. Absolutely, 170 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.439 but with the cost of living and all those things, 171 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.639 if you're going to see two of your favorite UK 172 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.560 or American comedians throughout the year for probably two hundred 173 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.560 and fifty bucks for two tickets, maybe you're not seeing 174 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.120 those ten or twenty shows you used to see at 175 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.680 the Comedy Festival in Melbourne. You maybe just seeing one 176 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.240 or two or none. So it's yeah, it's just that 177 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.439 fine fine balance of how much the crowds are seeing 178 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.399 and what they're taking in what they're spending their money on. 179 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.639 But before the point of view, it's still it's still awesome. 180 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.360 This year was really fun. They're still bringing out some 181 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.439 pretty good, solid international acts and the Gala still a 182 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.279 great sort of something you really aim for.

Yeah, yeah, but she was 188 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.000 saying that she did really well in her set and 189 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.240 then they canceled it and just deleted her set. So 190 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.919 now she can't find it and now they've brought Just 191 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:49.799 the Last back again. 192 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.080 Yeah, right's your hands on this? 193 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.799 Yeah, but yeah, with the Simpsons, so obviously we're here 194 00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.720 talking about Home at the Smiths today, but what are 195 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.159 your your earliest memories of the Simpsons, Like when were 196 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.039 you growing up? Was it during the nineties, like what 197 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:05.480 what was peak Simpsons for you? 198 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:07.879 Yeah, definitely early nineties. 199 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.759 I remember I have two older sisters, and I remember 200 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.039 my big sister wanting to watch it a lot and 201 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.720 we would just yeah, sit there. And then I just 202 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.919 obviously became a big fan. And I don't think it's 203 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.399 because it was like it was one of the few 204 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.480 things that was before your bedtime. I think that was 205 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.399 the key to it, Like you're seeing something that was 206 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.919 very funny and often now I watched it and things 207 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.879 that went over my head when I was a kid, 208 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.960 they're so much more funny now, Like I rewatched that 209 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.200 episode we're talking about today and laughed out loud a 210 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:40.879 couple of times that things that I just didn't remember 211 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:45.840 from that episode. Yeah, I just remember early nineties. Yeah, 212 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.559 I just remember wood Fight.

My dad and I didn't 218 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.720 really have much in common, but we always watched the 219 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.279 Simpsons together. And also I'm watching my sister's it's always this, 220 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.080 you know, the Simpsons.

Now I think, yes, I'm like, yeah. 229 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.000 Yeah, I I just knew everyone. I was like, oh 230 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.799 my god, I've seen every single episode.

That was something 246 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.720 we did amongst our friendship group. We'd always go in 247 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.399 and say the funny lines and try and do the voices. 248 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.799 And I think that when you're really young, you're not 249 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.679 really looking at formula and how they're putting the show 250 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.279 together and how they write. But definitely, once I got 251 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.159 into my teens and you know, fifteen I was watching, 252 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.240 I was like, oh wow, because stand up it was 253 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:33.720 sort of in my mind then and I was watching 254 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.639 a lot of stand up on TV and obviously full 255 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.320 frontal and fast forward those TV shows in the nineties 256 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:44.000 with Man. Yeah, there were things that we really you know, 257 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.799 I personally loved them, and yeah, from about fifteen or sixteen, 258 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.240 I wanted to give stand up ago. So then when 259 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.559 I watched I watched The Simpsons, I just loved, you know, 260 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.960 the callbacks and the more adult content and the real 261 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.039 cheeky stuff that they go away with really appealed to me. 262 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.639 So I think without a doubt all those you know, 263 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.879 really funny things we watched growing up but definitely helped 264 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.759 me understand comedy and how it works. 265 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.240 I was going to ask you any of the shows 266 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.759 growing up that you maybe didn't really appreciate that once 267 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.360 you realize you wanted to become a comedian, that you 268 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:17.840 went back and went, oh, this is this is what 269 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.600 I need to be getting influenced by inspiration from. 270 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.279 The one that comes to mind that the writing is 271 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.279 exceptional now that I watch it because my wife loves it, 272 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.799 and when I was a kid, I just had no 273 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.559 is Frasier. 274 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.799 Yeah, yeah it is. It is up there. 275 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.320 Like obviously, we watched Seinfeld and I love Seinfeld and 276 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.120 I always knew it was great, but Fraser's definitely gone 277 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.679 up way so much in my book in the last 278 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.759 decade of watching it. I just think the writing on 279 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.559 that show was Obviously the acting is great, but the 280 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.600 writing as well was just exceptional. 281 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.360 If you go back and watch it now, it still 282 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:53.840 holds up. 283 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.440 Yeah, it's got that classic sort of combination. It's got 284 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.840 really strong sort of sitcom bones in terms of it's 285 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.639 set up and dynamic and all of that. Then it's 286 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.720 got this sort of lovely frosting layer on top of 287 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:07.799 just this sophisticated human that makes it be a little 288 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.320 bit more classy by watching it. Then the lands are 289 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.399 cut that with Martin sort of you know, cutting him 290 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.759 down the side just by telling it how it. Isser 291 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.000 is fantastic in that ring at. 292 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.919 Yeah, all those things you said, it's that Now that 293 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.240 i'm you know, you get a few more gags and 294 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.720 you understand when you're older and how things work. I 295 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.320 just think the casting on that show and Seinfeld and 296 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.759 you look back at it the car they just absolutely 297 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.279 nailed their casting for each role on those shows. 298 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:36.000 They must look back. 299 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.279 People who did that must look back now with such 300 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.960 you know Pride because they absolutely nailed the casting for 301 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:43.480 that one. 302 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.759 I remember not liking Fraser as a kid because I 303 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:46.480 didn't get it. 304 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:48.399 Well that's probably Yeah. 305 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.360 When I was a teenager, I find the jokes. I 306 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.320 was like, I feel so smart now and almost like 307 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.919 it was the benchmark if you understand Fraser, You're growing up, 308 00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:01.039 you know. But yeah, you usually pitched today, we weren't 309 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:02.360 going to do hor with the Smith as you asked 310 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:04.000 for it. I think it was like a season seventeen 311 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.320 episode which flowed me. 312 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:05.600 It was. 313 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.919 I think it was Bart has two Mummies. I was 314 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.360 really I could not believe it because every guest we've 315 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:12.440 had just always going straight to the golden ear, and 316 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:15.399 that's what usually what we do. Why why Bart has 317 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.240 two mummies? What was it that drew you to that one? 318 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.600 That's the one where Bart is that he become that 319 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.039 the monkey in the cage at the grilla in the cage. 320 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.960 But yeah, it was it was just reading back through 321 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:26.399 them all. 322 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:32.720 I remember that one, yeah, being because from I haven't 323 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.720 watched it back, but I vaguely remember that Marge she 324 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.679 gets she gets a job in that one, I believe, 325 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:38.679 and that's why she's not. 326 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.320 She's not around for something not around. 327 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:47.120 Yeah, and the yeah, the chimp takes I actually can't remember. 328 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:49.080 Get I'll get the plot up. But yeah, but I 329 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.399 was just like I was like season seventeen. Wow, normally 330 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:53.559 most comedians are gone. We stopped watching out the season ten. 331 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.320 I was really impressed, and we would have talked about 332 00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:59.159 it not long ago on the show, but we did. Yeah, 333 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.559 hard to remember much about it at all. 334 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.679 It's just I remember you didn't like it. I liked it, 335 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.440 you didn't like it. 336 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:07.759 It's stricken from the record. 337 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.279 But yeah, But so you were still watching the show 338 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:12.080 around season seventeen or is it just one that you 339 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:13.120 may have just caught on TV? 340 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:14.000 Yeah? 341 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:15.120 I think I was. 342 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.679 Yeah, I'd say more likely that I caught it on TV. 343 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.639 You know, if I'm home and got nothing on and 344 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.639 that's on, I'll often just watch it.

So as Homer a character, you find 367 00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:25.679 that you relate to a lot more of the older 368 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.559 you get because I as a kid was you know, 369 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:29.639 very much Bart, and I found hom of funny. But 370 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.480 the older I get now I'll just go, well, I've 371 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:32.159 become Homer. 372 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:32.840 Yeah. 373 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.240 I always thought Home was the funniest. I always thought 374 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:41.399 his lines were yeah, you know everything all the so 375 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.480 many of the punchlines are from him, So I think 376 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.519 he always appealed to me. Yeah, And obviously Bart when 377 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.120 you're little, Bart is the rat bag and you see 378 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.639 yourself in him at times. But yeah, I would say 379 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.600 Homer was always my favorite. 380 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.720 Did you ever like the Least of episode? Because I 381 00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:59.799 didn't as a kid. But again, as I get older, 382 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.360 I appreciate that I have a lot more in common 383 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:04.160 with Lisa than I realized when I was younger. 384 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:05.039 Yeah. 385 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.720 Yeah, I like that Bleeding Gums Murphy one. And you 386 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.160 know those ones. When I think of Lisa episodes, they're 387 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.039 the ones that pop in my mind, and they're. 388 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.599 Great appropriately enough that they always feel like thevery eat 389 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:18.640 your vegetables episides, like these are the ones that are 390 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:20.480 going to be good for you or teach you something 391 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.920 as sid appropriately and I've given Lisa's vegetarianism. But yeah, 392 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.039 as you get a bit older as well, you realize 393 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.240 sometimes you need some vegetables in your diet. 394 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.440 Yeah, yes, I tell you what I never I never 395 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.759 warmed too. This might be controversial. I never warm to 396 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.480 the like the House of Horrors ones. 397 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.880 The trios of Horror really Yeah, okay, see, I like 398 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:39.960 them because they're just sort of. 399 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.480 Because each season would have one, wouldn't they They would. 400 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:42.720 Yeah. 401 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.400 They started in season two and they're still doing to 402 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.319 this day, and arguably they're the ones that people get 403 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.759 the most hypedful now because they're you know, the horror, 404 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:50.640 and that they're different because I think a lot of 405 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.920 people aren't really watching the show as much as they 406 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.079 used to, but that that triosop horor seems to always 407 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:56.640 be a standout and a bit of fun because they 408 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.960 can sort of let loose a bit. But I always 409 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.880 enjoyed the trios of horror. Do you think you didn't 410 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.920 like about it? He is not a horror fan in general. 411 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.839 Or scorching hot take on your partner. 412 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.000 Well, it's not the horror. It was. 413 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.079 It was just that, I I, this is gonna sound 414 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.880 weird considering I'm watching a cartoon that's completely crept from nothing. 415 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.119 I didn't like that it was them not being themselves. 416 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.319 They weren't being their they were being something it was. 417 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.200 If it started it was a House of Horrors episode, 418 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.079 I'll be like, oh. 419 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:27.160 Turn it off. 420 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:30.960 I feel like you're the first person in the world 421 00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:32.039 I've ever spoken to us. 422 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.839 I just liked the traditional, you know, each of them 423 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.640 being themselves a proper storyline. I didn't like the whackingness 424 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:40.880 of it. 425 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:42.920 I was like, no, man, well. 426 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.759 It's it's actually really interesting you say that because this 427 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.240 episode aired Home of the Smithers during season seven, and 428 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.680 that's when two guys, Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein took 429 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.920 over the show as the showrunners. They've been writers of 430 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.359 the show and they got that gig just by being 431 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:56.920 fans of the show, and they got into the writer's 432 00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:59.000 room and then they'll give them the job of being showrunners. 433 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:01.319 And when they took over here, they felt the show 434 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:03.680 had become too wacky and they wanted to make it 435 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.480 take it back to being more grounded. They want to 436 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.839 have fifteen episodes, because there's twenty two episodes in the season. 437 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:10.519 They want fifteen episodes based around the family, and then 438 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.559 have your annual one, so you have your one Trouse 439 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.319 of horror, you have you Itchy and Scratchy episode, your 440 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.880 Sideshow Bob episode, that kind of thing. But they wanted 441 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.240 to really focus on the emotional side of stories and 442 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.119 just make it feel more realistic again. So I've always 443 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:24.000 felt season seven and eight are my favorites when they're 444 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.319 in charge of the show, and maybe you're you as well. 445 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.119 Yeah, I would tend to agree. 446 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.319 I didn't know those facts about writers and the changing, 447 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:35.480 but yeah, I agree around that six, seven, eight, nine, 448 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.759 ten is probably the most episodes I've rewatched. 449 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:41.599 Yeah, yeah, because Marge versus the Monorail, they say, is 450 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.200 sort of like a turning point where they realized, oh, 451 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:46.039 we can just do anything now and get away with it. 452 00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.599 And that was written by Conan O'Bryan and great episode. 453 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.279 People love it. But the thing is, Matt Granning wasn't 454 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.480 the biggest fan. He always wanted to keep the Simpsons 455 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.640 feeling like a real family, and it sort of swayed 456 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.960 away from that to an extent, and then when Josh 457 00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.960 and Bilt it go over, they went, let's bring it back, 458 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.799 and you get episodes like this Home and the Smithers, 459 00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:04.480 an episode which they've said it was pitched by the 460 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.119 next show round of Mike Scully at the time, and 461 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:08.920 they couldn't believe that it hadn't already been done. It 462 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.240 just feels like such a basic, simple premise Homer becomes 463 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.000 Burns's assistant, and it hadn't been done. But I'm glad 464 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:16.640 they waited this long because that had done this in 465 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.200 like season three or four. I don't think the relationship 466 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:21.319 of Smithers and Burns would have been as flesh as 467 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.440 what it was. And I think seeing them for so 468 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:26.440 many years just sort of Smithers's love for Burns and 469 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.759 him relying on Burns just for a reason to live, 470 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.519 and Burns relying on him to live. I think the 471 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.359 eventual separation of this episode meant more as a result. 472 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:39.559 Yeah, and I love that it sets up little things 473 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:41.640 like the way he feeds him and brushes his teeth 474 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.160 and things that you think, well, he's been doing that 475 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.039 for the last you know, he's been doing that's in 476 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.880 today one, all those times, all those other episodes we've watched, 477 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:50.039 that's what's happened every morning. 478 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:51.759 You know this has been going on. 479 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:54.279 Love it, and it's got that great commodation again as 480 00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.000 I said before, of like it's very heightened kind of 481 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.079 comedy in terms of like today I'm wearing the things 482 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:01.960 that kinds up or even just brushing someone's teeth. But 483 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:07.319 also I think everyone can relate to the situation of 484 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.559 being put into a job that's probably above your pay grade, 485 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.319 and you don't know what the fuck you're doing, and 486 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.200 you're sort of bumbling through and you want to get 487 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:18.279 it right. You want to do it right for various reasons, 488 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.640 but also as like I've got no idea what's going on? 489 00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:25.039 Yeah, and even the burnout for as a you know, 490 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:28.759 older now. I watched it again yesterday, and just the 491 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:33.039 burnout for Smith's like he's a real stress that people 492 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.920 get and as a kid or even a teenager watching that, 493 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.000 you're not thinking about that element of it at all. 494 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.160 I think that ties into what you were talking about earlier. Though. 495 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.720 How about you know, with your comedy career, I think 496 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:45.240 a lot of people, you know, from the outside in 497 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.119 would probably go, Daniel's got it made. Gets to stand 498 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:50.759 up on stage and just tell jokes. Fantastic, What a 499 00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.400 life it's like. You know, he's got to be his 500 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:55.480 own marketing department, his own PR department, his own av club, 501 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:57.880 all this stuff, you know. I mean, I think it's 502 00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.680 very much the way of the world in the in 503 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.359 the tw twenties, Like we're all working extremely hard and 504 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.799 you know, edging edging, edging towards burnout all the time. 505 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:07.720 That's right. 506 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.559 Yeah, It's never ending, is a good way to put it. 507 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:12.599 Especially in the stand up world, you kind of feel 508 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.200 like you need to have your foot down the whole time, 509 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:16.720 because if you take it off, you just sort of 510 00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.279 fall back in the pack. That's the I don't think 511 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.000 that's true, but that's the feeling. 512 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.640 What it feels. 513 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:25.920 Yeah, in an industry where it's you know, there's not 514 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.119 a lot of opportunity for you know, there's probably there's 515 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:32.000 fifty spots for a thousand people sort of thing is 516 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:35.160 how you're led to believe. But I think having a 517 00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:38.160 little break every now and again is really good. I 518 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:39.640 used to never do it, but now I make sure 519 00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:41.720 I have a week in the middle of the year 520 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.400 and then two around Christmas and news where I just 521 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:46.880 don't even look at an email or joke. 522 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.799 Just get away, I was going to say, because like, 523 00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.000 I'm married with kids, who've got a seven year old 524 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:54.119 just turned seven year old and a nearly five year old, 525 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:56.920 and I found I would have been about six months ago. 526 00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:59.640 I was having real burnout, much like Simiths here, because 527 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.559 I just was and given myself any time. I almost 528 00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:03.359 felt like I didn't deserve the time, which is kind 529 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:05.279 of like Smith's in this episode. I don't know why 530 00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:07.279 I felt that way, but whenever I would take time 531 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.160 for myself, I would feel guilty. I would think I 532 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.319 should be mowing the lawns, I should be folding the washing, 533 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:13.200 I should be doing. 534 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:13.799 This house chaw. 535 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.799 And I couldn't relax. Even when I was having down time, 536 00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.559 I couldn't relax.

Slash fourth Figure discaut 575 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.279 What do you like with when you're writing a new gag? 576 00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:12.319 How much do you try and perfect it before you 577 00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:13.880 start testing it with people? 578 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:14.359 Ah? 579 00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:16.680 You kind I kind of write it a couple of times, 580 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.359 just pat in a pen, and I'll generally just go 581 00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.079 straight to stage with it as so long as it's 582 00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.160 got something in there that you can see that's a 583 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.720 beginning middle in a punchline, I'll go straight to and 584 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.039 open mic, you know, in front of twelve people on 585 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.079 a Monday night, and and just give it a run, 586 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:35.680 because the more you say it out loud, the better 587 00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.440 it it forms. And then you kind of rewrite it again, 588 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.319 maybe after five tries, and it's you think of your 589 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:44.799 little tags, and so some people like to write and 590 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.599 write and write till it's pretty much ready, but I 591 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.920 like to just maybe write it out as it comes 592 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.640 out and then start trying it, and you do it 593 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:54.039 that way, and then by the side of the tenth 594 00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:58.359 go and the maybe the fourth rewrite, it's pretty much 595 00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:00.319 locked in you get at it. 596 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:02.319 That's probably a much better approach as well, because if 597 00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:04.440 you think you've perfected a gag and then you test 598 00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.640 it and it bombs, it would probably hit your ego 599 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.000 a bit, right, Yeah. 600 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.440 Yeah, yeah, got to get it up on its feet 601 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:12.240 and let it breathe a bit. 602 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:14.319 Do do you find many egos in comedy? You kind 603 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:15.880 of have to have an ego. But do you find 604 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.480 many in the Australian scene naming names? But do you 605 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.160 find you come across some ego sometimes but you want 606 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:21.720 a few. 607 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:23.519 There's a few, for sure, but it wouldn't be It 608 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:24.839 wouldn't be as many as you think. 609 00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:26.759 I don't think it's Yeah, okay. 610 00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:29.599 It's generally like a pretty even though it's cut throat 611 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.960 and everyone's gunning for similar things, it's pretty. It's a 612 00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:37.880 pretty nice industry. There's not too many massive egos, you know. 613 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.480 I feel like the time of the ego, especially in 614 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.519 I've noticed it in music and comedy. Those days are 615 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:47.400 a bit numbered for people with the big egos. Now 616 00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:50.359 you kind of just sort of have to be a 617 00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:51.680 decent you know, and. 618 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.680 It just person Yeah, yeah, I just feel like the. 619 00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:00.200 Days of the divas and the idiots are a on. 620 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:02.799 Like if you if you met you know, say you 621 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.359 wrote down the five biggest names in Australian comedy and 622 00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:07.839 you met them, that you would find them all quite nice. 623 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:10.839 I think you'd find It's not really an industry where 624 00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.759 you can have a big a go and be a 625 00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:17.759 prick because you get weeded out, you lose work because 626 00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.079 of it. Because there's someone as good as as there's 627 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.759 someone that can you know, do your job right, there 628 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.319 probably five people that can do that. 629 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:27.240 Job for you. 630 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.720 You can't really afford to be a prick and lose it, 631 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:31.960 so most people kind of Yeah, I think there's be 632 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.640 people that come into the scene with an ego and 633 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:36.039 can be a bit of a jerk and they find 634 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:38.119 out soon that you just can't survive that way. 635 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:40.720 Well, you mentioned balancing act before, and I think that's 636 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:43.000 probably going to be vital because I mean, you're going 637 00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:45.240 to have to have some degree of ego in terms 638 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.279 of backing yourself and having confidence in yourself to be 639 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:49.640 able to get up on stage to day I'm going 640 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:53.880 to make you laugh. Motherfucker, we don't say motherfucker, but 641 00:27:54.680 --> 00:28:01.039 or unless it Bernie mac. But at the same time, 642 00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:04.079 you can't let it sort of become your whole personality. 643 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:09.599 Yes, turn it on and turn it off. There's yeah, 644 00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:11.960 there's definitely a different when you're on stage. You can 645 00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:16.839 create a confident persona and sometimes even like an ego 646 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.960 or be a prick on stage and that's what works 647 00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:22.839 for you. But the people you see on stage that 648 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.799 you think do you say like harsh, or you probably 649 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.759 chatter them off stage and they're just quite normal and nice. 650 00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:34.680 How important is using language during comedy for having an 651 00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.160 effective punchline or whatnot? I know, because sometimes you know, 652 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:38.880 some communists just don't want to swear at all, but 653 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.559 some do. Like do you find it helps you with punchlines? 654 00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:44.000 Sometimes I don't. 655 00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.880 I don't specifically right like you know, F bombs or 656 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:53.519 you know, I never really say so, Bob, I. I 657 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.960 don't actually write them down on paper. They just personally, 658 00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:02.240 they just come with how I'm feeling. If I'm a 659 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.640 bit ranty or angry at something, that probably they come 660 00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.400 out a bit more. If I'm just sort of setting 661 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:12.359 up a punchline that's just about spiders or you know, 662 00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:16.799 they don't come. It's just it's interesting. I think if 663 00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:18.920 you force it and you write them down and you 664 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.160 put them in there thinking that that's going to get 665 00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.680 you a laugh, maybe it doesn't work as well. That's 666 00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:29.640 definitely for me. Yeah, I've definitely noticed. There's been times 667 00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:32.279 where early days, if you're a bit nervous, you say 668 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.640 if this and if that, but after about five minutes, 669 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.440 like God in your head, you're like God, I'm saying 670 00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:40.480 that a lot. I need to stop saying. 671 00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:43.200 It of yourself aware you're obviously saying it a lot. 672 00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:46.920 Yeah, yeah, but over time you just kind of get Now, 673 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.440 I know when to say it, and I don't really 674 00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.240 think I'm saying it. I planned, sorry that I planned 675 00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:53.960 to say it. It just sort of comes out in 676 00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:57.200 the moment. And I think if I did so you 677 00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:59.799 recorded the same ten minutes set three nights in a row, 678 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.119 I think that'd be F bombs at different times, and yeah, yeah, 679 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:06.759 it wouldn't be the same sort of timings on the 680 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:07.319 F bombs. 681 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:10.279 You've got kids, right, one, Yeah, a little boy. 682 00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:10.680 One kid. 683 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:13.519 So do you find now you've got to train yourself 684 00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:15.480 not to swear. So maybe when you're doing your comedy 685 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.960 that's just sort of your way of just getting it 686 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.799 all out, because I find I swear a lot, but 687 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:20.559 when the kids around, I'm going to try and control 688 00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:22.400 myself and hold it in, And then when the kids 689 00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.720 arend around, I'm just like, you know, I just sort 690 00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:26.759 of it just comes out naturally without even realized. 691 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:28.599 To be honest, I think I swear the same around 692 00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:32.000 my son. To be honest, I did. 693 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:34.279 I didn't till my wife slapped me across the back 694 00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:35.759 of the head, and I learned I had to try 695 00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:36.240 and stop that. 696 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:38.839 Yeah, and you'll be like if it was very organic. 697 00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:41.519 I mean not to spoil anything from a little Ossie that, 698 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.519 but when you're sort of talking about Cody from foot Locker, yeah, 699 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:49.160 and what you wish for him in the future, it's 700 00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:51.680 like that feels like it's only the game completely off. 701 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.799 The cut off the cup felt completely natural.

It's like, that's me at so many jobs? 713 00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:26.759 Was the thing. I hope it wasn't stupid. In this episode, 714 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:29.400 he was very actually very relatable. He was trying. It's 715 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:31.039 just sometimes you just can't do the job. 716 00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:33.880 Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, that's around when he sticks his head 717 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.200 out the window and as Smithers is leaving and yeah, 718 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:38.160 well yeah. 719 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:39.400 Yeah, what are I do in case of five? 720 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:44.000 That's it, And you get a great callback later on 721 00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:46.160 with that when he's actually making breakfast and everything's on 722 00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:50.119 the past. By the way, you see that his dedication 723 00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.279 to duty. When he actually shows up to make breakfast 724 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:53.960 that first day. I think that's the first time I've 725 00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.680 ever seen Homer in long sleeves. Yeah, maybe in a 726 00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:58.880 long sleeve shirt, because normally he's got the unless he's 727 00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.240 at church or whatnot. Yeah, but you normally got the Sipowitz. 728 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.440 He's got the got the short short seat shirt. But 729 00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:05.599 it's like, oh, he's gone up in the world. He's 730 00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.720 gone pro Look a lot of my stuff is home. Really, 731 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:13.759 it's all these great lines that would feel perfectly suited 732 00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.480 to any classic sitcom. I mean they're almost sort of 733 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.440 like vaudeville gags or just you know, classic old time 734 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.920 stand up gags. And then the bit where it's like 735 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.200 reading the paper and you know how my stock's doing 736 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:27.160 they or one or what are your options? What about 737 00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:28.480 my options? We can either get up or go and 738 00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:32.960 make you slept. Oh my god, that you used to 739 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:36.039 hear the rim shot in your head. But yeah, it's fantastic. 740 00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:38.799 I'm sure Dana's going to want to talk about the cube. 741 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:41.079 We've got together. 742 00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:44.039 We'll all talk about the cube, because that's just that's 743 00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:46.119 gold standard joke telling. 744 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:48.279 As far as the fact that Burns when the phone rings, 745 00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:52.599 is it about my cube? Like you believe it. He's 746 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.400 accepted as fate and just a great visual. 747 00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:58.319 Gag in this as well. When yeah, Smithers had been 748 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:01.440 fired and like, well, any any big corporation is going 749 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:03.160 to be happy to get a guy like Smithers. I 750 00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:05.079 think he's going to go work for At and t No, 751 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:07.839 he's going to work for Neat and Tody Piano movies. 752 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.960 That's just a really spot on visual gag as far 753 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.119 as I'm concerned. So, yeah, he's my favorites, but there's 754 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:14.440 going to be more to talk about as we go through. 755 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:14.839 I'm sure. 756 00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.200 Did you have any particular favorites, Daniel, Yeah. 757 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:19.079 Just to touch on the when Homer gets up to 758 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.119 go to cook the breakfast for Burns and he gets 759 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:23.839 up at four thirty and march es it's four thirty. 760 00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:26.119 Little Rascals doesn't start till six. 761 00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:29.000 It's beautiful I'm so glad you said that, because I 762 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:30.559 love that as well. It just reminds me of getting 763 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:32.160 up earlier to watch you know that the start of 764 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:34.160 Cheese TV or as Aerobics or whatever. 765 00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:39.559 Watch Little Rascals is just brilliantly. I really like the start, 766 00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:44.400 the start at the drag the drag race. Burns plays 767 00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:46.119 for them all the staff to have a day out 768 00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:50.960 at the drag races at the speedway. And yeah, he's 769 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:56.359 drinking beer from a tea span. A smith is feeding 770 00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:58.480 Burns beer from a tea spoon, and he's he's given 771 00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:02.559 me no bars, nothing's happening. Better grab the tables. 772 00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.640 Not feeling younger or funky. 773 00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.119 And he gets the car and he gets the cars 774 00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:10.039 to slow down as well, because that you can't he 775 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:11.079 can't see them. 776 00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:13.119 And I just love Homer for no reason. It's not 777 00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.079 of an acknowledge. He's just got a big giant novelty 778 00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:21.880 hat on.

It's not one of 861 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:12.239 the ones of the inspirational post is yet on the 862 00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.280 Simpsons know that's one of the top tier Homer quotes. 863 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:18.840 But all right, So this episode originally aired February twenty fifth, 864 00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:21.800 nineteen ninety sixty top three films at the US box 865 00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:25.840 office when this episode aired.

I've never seen MupE Treasure Island one. 868 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:35.119 It's got Tim Curry. Tim Curry has long John Silver 869 00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:36.440 or something. I don't know why I. 870 00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.079 Missed it, but I just never and I've never gone 871 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.000 back to revisit it. It's always it's in my Disney 872 00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:42.320 Plus watch list. I just haven't watched it yet. But yeah, 873 00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.840 my pet Treasure Island was number three. Number two was 874 00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:48.199 Broken Arrow with Travolta and Christian Slave Christian Slator, which 875 00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:51.480 is a fine nineteen nineties action flick. It was a 876 00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:54.280 bit bit wacky, but ill do I mean? And number 877 00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:56.239 one was Rumble in the Bronx, which I had no 878 00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:58.480 idea what it was. But this guy here, he knows 879 00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.320 everything about movies. So tell us Rumble in the Bronx. 880 00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.280 It's Jackie Chair. Yeah, I looked it up.

The nineties was a real push to 889 00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:25.079 sort of bring Asian action cinema into the US. And yeah, 890 00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:27.480 so they gave Jackie another another shot. This is pre 891 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:29.840 Rush Hour that it was done with that with Chris Tucker. 892 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:31.559 So what year was it again? 893 00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:35.079 It was ninety six, twenty fifth, ninety six. 894 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:39.000 Yeah, But the funny thing is called Rumbling the Bronx. 895 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:43.599 And it is clearly Vancouver Canton.

He's just 911 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.159 that he reviewed movies for a living for what twenty 912 00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:25.679 five years? 913 00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:26.559 That right? 914 00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.760 So he said, he always says, no, he knows. I 915 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:33.119 love nineties action flicks, you know, like Connair's and face 916 00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:35.320 offs and that kind of stuff. Right, That's why I 917 00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:38.920 always say that the Aussie nineties, Australian summer double Headed 918 00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:40.639 was always face off in Connair every summer. You got 919 00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:43.480 it on Channel seven. But I had no idea about 920 00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.639 films like Broken Arrow and whatnot, and he always recommends 921 00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:47.960 him and I had never heard of it either. But yeah, 922 00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:50.719 it's if you like Conna Air and Face Off, you're 923 00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:52.519 gonna love Broken Arrow. It's just that kind of that 924 00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:53.280 kind of genre. 925 00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:55.639 Right, what year was last Boy Scout? 926 00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:56.679 That's ninety one. 927 00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:59.400 I believe that feels like mid nineties to me, but 928 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:02.280 it was a lot earlier. But what's your favorite genre 929 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:03.760 of film, Daniel?

This episode was written by John Swatswild 966 00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:39.480 and one of the most iconic Simpsons writers of all time. 967 00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:42.280 Directed by Steven Dean Moore as well. No chalk gag, 968 00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:44.119 but this one has the couch gag, with the Simpsons 969 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.239 are driving to the couch in their little mini cars 970 00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:49.000 and they're wearing fezzsa. Do you know about these guys, 971 00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:50.480 I mean about fezzs? 972 00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.360 No, well, what they're doing here? This is a This 973 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:55.639 is a group called the Shriners. Okay, yeah, it's sort 974 00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:59.159 of like a bit like an offshoot of the Freemasons. Yeah, 975 00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:01.559 but because I saw and I'm like, this looks familiar 976 00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:02.800 to me for some reason. I mean, it's not just 977 00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:04.800 sort of like a circus kind of thing, but yeah, 978 00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:10.079 circus vibes. Yeah. But Shriner's International describes itself this is 979 00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:12.519 from Wikipedia, which is we all know one hundredercent accurate, 980 00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:17.159 describes itself as a global fraternity. Quote based on fun, 981 00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:22.800 fellowship and the Masonic principles of broadly love, relief and truth. Yeah, 982 00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:26.360 but apparently they will have you know when parades were 983 00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:26.880 a thing. 984 00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:28.239 Yeah, I miss parades. 985 00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:29.960 Yeah, we don't really happen as much as these, but 986 00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:32.000 the Shriners would get be there and they've been in 987 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:34.800 these little cars and to be wearing their fazzes. So yeah, 988 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:37.239 so this is a shout out to the Shriners. Whether 989 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:42.239 Schwartzwelder was actually a member of the brotherhood or who knows, 990 00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:44.119 or just a fun visual gag. 991 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:46.280 Why don't we have parades anymore? Just people just don't 992 00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:48.119 want to go outside and wait and watch things. Or 993 00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:48.559 what is. 994 00:43:48.519 --> 00:43:53.440 It probably to do with costs? 995 00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:57.440 Surely, yeah, it's always be costs money, yes, and that's 996 00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:00.920 what where's the optimization in a you could be you know, 997 00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:03.719 you know, he could be doing some push ups. 998 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.280 But Burns welcomes all the employers to the drag racing 999 00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:11.000 event that he is fully paid for. That's one of 1000 00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:13.800 the downfalls the guests of not working for somebody now, 1001 00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:17.320 like doing podcasting full time, is the Christmas parties. He's 1002 00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:20.000 getting all expenses paid for stuff. Yeah, but even Smithers, 1003 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.440 you know, he has to want the crowd by using 1004 00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:23.599 the microphone, and he has to read from que cards 1005 00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:26.119 even waiting for his name. My name is Anti burn 1006 00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:28.639 So it's basically he's just just setting up here that 1007 00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:32.039 he's ubsterutly hopeless. He needs Smithers for absolutely everything. Homers 1008 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:34.159 sitting there with his novelty hat. Marge is just really 1009 00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:36.000 excited to be there. She did it out of the house, 1010 00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:38.239 but she she misses the race completely because she's too 1011 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:39.440 busy talking about being a hot mamma. 1012 00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:43.719 But a hot rod Mom, Mama. Yeah, it's always very 1013 00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.239 sweet when Marge is trying to, you know, use the 1014 00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:46.920 kid's lingo. 1015 00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:50.920 Yeah, it never works. But Smithers is giving Burns as 1016 00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:53.320 you're saying earlier, Daniel, he's duff beer by the tea spoon. 1017 00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:55.239 He doesn't feel in the younger funky, so he pumps 1018 00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:57.400 it up to the tablespoon. Now it's time for the 1019 00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:01.079 power plant Championship, so he gets Smithers to get his bioculars. Now, 1020 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:04.800 what are bioculars compared to binoculars? Is it just the wit? 1021 00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:06.519 He says, get my bioculars. 1022 00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:11.159 I'm guessing just an early version of binoculars. Yeah. Yeah, 1023 00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:15.239 they struck me as that kind of thing that rich 1024 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:17.119 old ladies would use it the opera. 1025 00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:20.639 Yeah, there's little things like that. Yeah yeah, but Burns 1026 00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.559 demands that go slower so he can keep up. And yeah, 1027 00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:24.400 they go really slow. The what do they call that? 1028 00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:27.800 The parish parachute. Parachute doesn't even go off. Now everyone's leaving. 1029 00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:29.960 Burns has his novelty foam hand, but he's not a 1030 00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:31.719 fan of the size of it, so he demands Shiller's 1031 00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:33.000 go get a smaller one. 1032 00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:35.000 It's a bit ostentatious. 1033 00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.159 Yeah, so Spillers goes together, and this is where we 1034 00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:39.840 get a really iconic Lenny moment. Lenny's one of my 1035 00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:41.800 favorite sub characters. But he rocks up and he just 1036 00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:43.440 wants to He sn't do anything wrong. He wants to 1037 00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:46.440 thank Burns had a great time. Granted, his breath smells 1038 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:49.199 of beer, bread, but he just wants to say thank you. 1039 00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:51.760 Give him a big thumbs up, you know, Race Smolshindy, 1040 00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:53.920 thank you very much.

You know, at Christmas parties, whenever 1050 00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:21.840 you get a few drinks in, you get a little 1051 00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:23.880 merry and you realize, yeah, just. 1052 00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:24.920 A guy, I'm just a guy. 1053 00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:29.559 And you get to work the next day and do 1054 00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:31.440 you have any Christmas party stories, Daniel. 1055 00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:36.000 I remember being I had a job in health insurance 1056 00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:40.559 when I moved to Melbourne to chase comedy, and I was, Yeah, 1057 00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:42.880 I was working in call centers and things, and we 1058 00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:47.000 had a Christmas party where the boss by the end 1059 00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:49.119 of the night had his shirt off and was whipping 1060 00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:54.519 around his like a button up shirt all his full 1061 00:46:54.599 --> 00:46:56.639 chest exposed, dancing and stuff. 1062 00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:58.559 Was was he a brother or was he was he 1063 00:46:59.599 --> 00:46:59.960 an offer? 1064 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:05.039 It was uncharacteristic, Yeah, it was definitely.

It just 1110 00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:13.280 feels like Lenny's the go to. 1111 00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:15.800 Yeah, yeah, Lenny and Carl. 1112 00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:18.199 You want to know there, You want to know how 1113 00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:21.199 they live and what's going on behind the scenes. I 1114 00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:25.519 can't remember any specific. Was there many Lenny centric episodes 1115 00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:27.000 where it's where he's. 1116 00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:29.320 Not Lenny centric episodes? There was sort of you know 1117 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.519 that in the opening act. They sometimes have many plots 1118 00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:33.519 that set up the main plot. Sometimes you got ones 1119 00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:36.159 like that. But the recurring gig for Lenny now or 1120 00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:39.159 was during the post Golden ear, was that I can't 1121 00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:41.400 get things in his eye, so you get things that 1122 00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:42.880 always be getting in his eye. And then we had 1123 00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.800 the big please don't tell people how I live, which 1124 00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:47.400 is when he's just squatting in the house at March 1125 00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:48.920 trying to say stuff like that. But he never really 1126 00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:52.199 had a Lenny episode up until like on What season 1127 00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.119 twenty one. Now we still haven't really had a Lenny episode, 1128 00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:54.440 have we? 1129 00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:56.559 Not really? I mean part of the story, but not 1130 00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:58.719 a Lenny episode. I think there was the one I 1131 00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:01.039 remember where it was he was sort of responsible for 1132 00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:02.960 the inciting incident where I think everyone came over to 1133 00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:05.880 new TV, have a new TV, which was a big 1134 00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:07.760 step up from you know, I don't tell anyone how 1135 00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:09.960 I live now. The guy's got a flat screen plasma. 1136 00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:10.840 Nice work, Lenny. 1137 00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:17.800 Yeah, but I would say, yeah, Lenny, probably a Snake. 1138 00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:19.599 I would say it would be a favor. 1139 00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:20.400 Really Yeah. 1140 00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:22.679 I really like Snake. And I also really liked Oh 1141 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:26.559 the Girl. You know he's oh, you. 1142 00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:27.800 Know another one that I loved. 1143 00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:31.159 He I don't think he's in many episodes, but you'll 1144 00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:34.039 know him for sure, Yes. 1145 00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:41.519 That guy, Yes, Ma, And then I think Spanish. Yeah, 1146 00:50:41.639 --> 00:50:44.360 I always love that guy when he popped up because 1147 00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:45.400 he's just still. 1148 00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:47.119 Like one of those characters that because that's Dan, the 1149 00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:48.920 voice of Homer Dan castleing, it s feels like one 1150 00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:51.320 of those things that he just improvising one day that's gone, Yeah, 1151 00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:54.199 that is so good by turning that into a character. 1152 00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:57.480 He looks like such a dodgy guy. 1153 00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:00.880 Yeah, Oh, there was a I think it was Jack Benny, 1154 00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:03.800 who was like a fairly famous American comedian who actually 1155 00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:05.559 used that as a bit of a catch RaSE. You 1156 00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:07.360 that's great. 1157 00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.000 I love it, yes, But but Burns is terrified on 1158 00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:11.800 the way home. He should have sard the murderous look 1159 00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:13.480 in his eyes. Breath smelled of a ricked of beer 1160 00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:15.840 and pretzel bread, and Smithers blamed himself because I should 1161 00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:18.599 never have left you alone. But Burns, I don't love that. 1162 00:51:18.639 --> 00:51:20.440 Burn just has a mace ready to go, just read 1163 00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:23.039 it to hit somebody. He says, I'll never forgive myself. 1164 00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:25.320 And he says never never, never, bangs his head. Burns 1165 00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:27.960 has had enough, puts the little mirror wall thing up 1166 00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:29.440 in the middle of the of the limo, and he 1167 00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:31.639 calls me up from the phone, keeps continue saying never, never, never. 1168 00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:33.320 So we're just sort of they're setting up here that. 1169 00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:36.599 I don't think Burns truly appreciates everything Smithers does for him. 1170 00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:38.840 That's the thing, Like he just it's just Smithers just 1171 00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:41.239 does it. It's just expected, like it's just not really acknowledged. 1172 00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:43.039 It's just this is all done for me. And that's 1173 00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:44.559 just part of life, but it's not really how it 1174 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:46.800 should be. But then Smithers is trying to grovel. The 1175 00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:50.440 following morning, He's alphabetized his breakfast. You can start with 1176 00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.280 the waffles and work your way up to the swipe back. Now, 1177 00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:53.599 what is a swie back? I looked it up and 1178 00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:55.400 it just looks like some form of bread thing. 1179 00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:59.559 It's like a biscottie. It's like a It's a very 1180 00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:00.880 over kind of biscuit. 1181 00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:03.079 Yeah, all right then, yeah, I just love that alphabetizer 1182 00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:08.480 from W t Z. He's also leminaded the newspaper, but 1183 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:12.280 unfortunately Burns can't do the junior jumble now. So Smithers 1184 00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:14.039 has had enough. He says I'm not worth living anymore, 1185 00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:16.079 attempts to drown himself in the water tank, and Burns 1186 00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:18.760 is just light your drama. Queen empties it out. He 1187 00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:21.239 says Smithers needs a vacation, but he says, no, without you, 1188 00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:22.880 I'll wither and die. And he says, what's risk I'm 1189 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:24.760 willing to take. You must take a vacation as soon 1190 00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:26.199 as you find a replacement for me. 1191 00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:30.000 I love Smithers just saying I can't even grobble properly. 1192 00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:33.840 Yeah, but this is where Smithers looking at replacements once 1193 00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:36.000 who went out shine him. He looks up incompetent seven 1194 00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:39.280 hundred and fourteen names. You can narrow it down to lousy, clumsy, 1195 00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:42.320 dim witted, monstrously ugly. He'll get seven hundred and fourteen names. 1196 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:44.079 So he says this, I'll just go get Homer Simpson. 1197 00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:48.199 I think Smithers picked me because of my motivational skills. 1198 00:52:48.400 --> 00:52:50.599 Everyone always says they have to work a lot harder 1199 00:52:50.639 --> 00:52:51.360 when I'm around. 1200 00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:53.360 You know, Dad, is this thing, mister Burns could give 1201 00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:55.000 your career a real shut in the arm. 1202 00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:57.599 You know, Homer assisting mister Burns could give you a. 1203 00:52:57.639 --> 00:53:02.400 Career real shut in the arm. Just said that, say, 1204 00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:03.719 next time, get. 1205 00:53:03.639 --> 00:53:07.599 Your own dome Harsh to Margins episode I've never really 1206 00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:08.320 got that joke. 1207 00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:10.119 Yeah, it doesn't really go anywhere, does it. It just 1208 00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:12.159 sort of mean for the sake of mean. But Homer's 1209 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:15.039 not paying any attention to Smithers when he is running 1210 00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:17.079 through all of the various jobs, the twenty one hundred 1211 00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:19.000 various jobs that he has to do, So he says, 1212 00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:21.039 you you're gonna be answering the phone preparing his tax 1213 00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:23.599 return moistening his eyeballs, sitting with his chewing and swallowing, 1214 00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:26.960 lying to Congress, and some light typing, and I just 1215 00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:30.440 love it. But when he's going through all these tasks, 1216 00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:32.480 he fixes one of the frames, like straights up. It's like, 1217 00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:34.599 even when he's going through all these things, he's always on. 1218 00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:36.840 He can't switch off. He's always fixing something, making sure 1219 00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:40.159 it's perfect for Burns. Then the phone rings and it 1220 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:42.400 is mister Burns's mum and home. He can't believe she's loved. 1221 00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:42.679 What do it means? 1222 00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:45.440 Must be a hundred million years old. She has limited capacities. 1223 00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:48.039 All she can do is dial and yell. So he 1224 00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:50.679 says that Monty is an important meeting, he can't be disturbed, 1225 00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:52.239 But he's actually just asleep in his office. He just 1226 00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:54.800 can't talk to her ever since he shed that affair 1227 00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:59.320 with President Taft. And yeah, you old dog, yes, as 1228 00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.159 I was saying earlier nineteen nineteen, nineteen thirteen, just showcasing 1229 00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:03.079 how old Burns is. 1230 00:54:03.559 --> 00:54:06.880 It's great that I love that scene there where he 1231 00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:08.239 can't speak. He's in a meeting. 1232 00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:11.519 That shows him at his desk and he's falling asleep, yes, 1233 00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:13.440 and then waking himself up. But when he wakes up, 1234 00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:16.320 he gets he's angry, he goes back, he goes back 1235 00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:18.920 to factory setting, and then falls asleep again, then wakes 1236 00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:21.519 up angry, wakes. 1237 00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:25.320 Yeah, they're little details that when you're a kid watching, 1238 00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:27.559 they're just, you know, straight you're not paying attention to that. 1239 00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:29.639 I think it's just I think when you keep watching 1240 00:54:29.639 --> 00:54:31.679 episodes like this, it's just Homer silly. 1241 00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:36.039 That's that's the gag.

And then 1256 00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:06.519 it's It's almost like the penny finally drops and you go, oh, yeah, 1257 00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:07.880 that's been there as well. I love that you can 1258 00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:10.199 watch The Simpsons thirty years later and still find jokes 1259 00:55:10.199 --> 00:55:13.119 that you never realized all this time. But Smithers is 1260 00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:16.079 now leaving for the airport. Homer doesn't know twenty seven 1261 00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:17.639 hundred of the new duties. Out of the twenty hundred, 1262 00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:19.119 so which one is giving you the most trouble? 1263 00:55:19.159 --> 00:55:19.559 What do I do? 1264 00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:22.039 In case of fire? Smithers can't hear? He leaves, turns around, 1265 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:24.519 Burns his office is just on fire. That's just and 1266 00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:25.880 that's the kind of gag you can only really do 1267 00:55:26.079 --> 00:55:26.960 in an animated series. 1268 00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:27.519 It's so good. 1269 00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:29.599 But I do love that when we come back from commercial, 1270 00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:33.239 Over is putting out the fire, Burns and says, oh, Smithers, 1271 00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:36.280 you look atrocious.

Tries to explain to Burns that is extinct. 1275 00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:46.079 I love that even Homer is smart enough to know 1276 00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:48.639 that the Dodo doesn't exist anymore, you know, It's almost 1277 00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:51.719 like Burns just everything that's happened posts like nineteen twenty 1278 00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:53.360 just never doesn't exist in his mind. 1279 00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:54.840 That's the kind of thing that happens. If you get 1280 00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:56.519 a few more miles, you get a bit of a 1281 00:55:56.519 --> 00:55:58.440 shut off point where it's like, Okay, this is where 1282 00:55:58.559 --> 00:56:01.760 music peaked.

You never agros Cardo connection the show, Yeah, 1362 00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:07.800 of course. Yeah, So I loved that when I was 1363 00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:10.079 a kid. But there was a Bill and Ted animated series. 1364 00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:11.920 I only had one season, but I loved it when 1365 00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:13.519 I was a kid. But it was always the first 1366 00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:14.760 cart too who and they would put on it like 1367 00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:17.199 six am or whatever, and it was just too early 1368 00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:18.400 for me when I was a little kid. So my 1369 00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:21.079 dad used to before you go for recorded for me. 1370 00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:22.400 So one of my favorite memories of a kid as 1371 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:24.599 a kid was getting up and seeing him pushing stop 1372 00:59:24.639 --> 00:59:26.480 and then rewinding back to the start and watching the 1373 00:59:27.039 --> 00:59:28.480 show that my dad had taped for me on It 1374 00:59:28.480 --> 00:59:31.559 was almost like a little thing we had before he 1375 00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:33.199 went to work, used to pick record and made sure 1376 00:59:33.199 --> 00:59:34.280 that I got to see my bill in takes. 1377 00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:36.840 It was too early for me. That's his love language. 1378 00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:40.719 Ah yeah, but yeah. So Homer attempts to make breakfast 1379 00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:42.199 here and everything catches on fire. 1380 00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:42.719 I just loved that. 1381 00:59:42.760 --> 00:59:44.679 The first two makes sense. You know, the stove, you know. 1382 00:59:44.760 --> 00:59:47.840 Then he splashes the microwave on fire, corn flakes. 1383 00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:48.239 Fire. 1384 00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:51.360 Just combust as well, No. 1385 00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:55.920 Exactly, yes, but it gives up. So he enters with lard, 1386 00:59:56.000 --> 00:59:59.360 lad doughnuts and burns here. I don't like ethnic food, 1387 01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:01.920 he asked. This is where he asked how he's stock 1388 01:00:01.960 --> 01:00:03.760 did and yeah, you're touching his earlier fantastic is what 1389 01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:05.239 are my options? So great? Isn't it? 1390 01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:07.000 You can get up, we can go back to slip 1391 01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:10.400 just a little livery of it. That's just uh, absolute 1392 01:00:10.400 --> 01:00:11.679 gold metal stuff from Dan say. 1393 01:00:11.719 --> 01:00:13.639 He has to scrub the layer of dead skin off 1394 01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:15.920 and then he puts the fangs in. I love the 1395 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:17.960 burnd just sits there and waits for the waits for 1396 01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:21.119 the mouth to be closed. It's everything done for him. 1397 01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:22.880 The bit I love though, is when he yeah, you 1398 01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:25.800 hear Burns saying yep, get that layer of dead skin off. 1399 01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:29.800 Just hear the ho yes, just so grossed out. So 1400 01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:33.199 he calls Simpson from his office, you know, Simpson Simpson 1401 01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:35.239 Homss just doesn't hear it or he's just obliviou. 1402 01:00:35.280 --> 01:00:36.480 So he realized he has to get up and go 1403 01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:38.039 talk to him, and he asked if he got the 1404 01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:40.440 report from the accounting department, and he gives just basically 1405 01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:41.679 gives him the out office message. 1406 01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:42.079 Doesn't he. 1407 01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:47.000 Clearly called him outside of work hours. So scrunches that 1408 01:00:47.079 --> 01:00:48.559 up and puts it into the bin. Then we get 1409 01:00:48.599 --> 01:00:50.599 the which I think for me is like the moment 1410 01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:52.760 of the episode is the cube moment. Oh yeah, you 1411 01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:54.679 have thirty minutes move your car. Your car's being empowdered. 1412 01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:56.400 Your car's been crashing into a cube. You have thirty 1413 01:00:56.440 --> 01:00:58.880 minutes to move your cube. Phone rings? Is it about 1414 01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:05.480 my cube? Again? Like Home is trying at least right, Oh, 1415 01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:09.000 Like he's dumb, but he's trying. That's what you gotta 1416 01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:10.320 love about it. You know. I always said to my 1417 01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:11.880 kids at school, I'm like, I don't care if you 1418 01:01:11.880 --> 01:01:14.320 don't do well. As long as you're trying. If you're 1419 01:01:14.360 --> 01:01:17.559 trying and failing, fail, right, But don't go to school 1420 01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:20.480 and not try. I know how old is your son?

Readings getting there? 1429 01:01:35.519 --> 01:01:38.079 Yeah? Man, everything changes when they can read and they 1430 01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:40.599 can spell. So you know, you know how you sometimes 1431 01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:42.000 you want to say stuff that kids that I don't 1432 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:43.920 know to know, so you spell it out. Once that's 1433 01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:45.679 out the window, it's like now we've got no more, 1434 01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:49.280 we've got no Morse code. We can't talk anymore. Yeah, 1435 01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:52.159 the kids now are taking advantage of home. Or before that, though, 1436 01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:54.679 we get Smithers calling, is this, we get the forty 1437 01:01:54.719 --> 01:01:55.199 eight rings? 1438 01:01:55.800 --> 01:01:56.599 No, that's a bit later. 1439 01:01:56.639 --> 01:01:59.280 I know he's just that's coming up. 1440 01:01:59.360 --> 01:01:59.519 Yeah. 1441 01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:01.519 First of all this cause I did love the first 1442 01:02:01.559 --> 01:02:04.519 visual is that Smithers still can't switch off. He's there 1443 01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:07.599 with his suitcase, in his suit in his worksuit on 1444 01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:08.559 this island resort. 1445 01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:11.800 That's right, yeah, volleyball, yeah exactly. Yeah. 1446 01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:13.280 He's like, do you want to FedEx your mail to me? 1447 01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:14.679 I'll open it and return it to him. And it's 1448 01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:16.119 like no, no, it's all right. This is home is 1449 01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:18.000 getting dumbed by the minute, and Homer walks off sad. 1450 01:02:18.119 --> 01:02:19.639 So it's affecting Homer here. 1451 01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:23.079 This isn't when he's in the he's on the payphone 1452 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:24.440 next to the dance floor. No, that's not. 1453 01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:27.079 That's when. That's when he's lowered his guard a bit 1454 01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:28.559 and he is. 1455 01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:30.159 In the congo line. 1456 01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:32.559 Yeah, yep, yeah. So the kids are now taking advantage 1457 01:02:32.559 --> 01:02:34.480 of Homer. He's tired. They asked him to do his homework, 1458 01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:36.480 take get a right to the library. Marge's like, you 1459 01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:38.079 need to relax, but he's not. You know, I can't 1460 01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:40.599 do that. So she says Simpson, lie down, so as burns. 1461 01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:42.960 So he lays down. Then we hear the giant bell ringing. 1462 01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:44.320 Well it sounds like a giant bell, but it's just 1463 01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:46.159 a little bell from his bed, and he says, the 1464 01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:47.880 phone's ringing. Answer it, and this is where we get 1465 01:02:47.880 --> 01:02:49.920 the forty eight rings. Is everything okay? 1466 01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:50.320 He says. 1467 01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:52.440 The Homer is an absolute buffoon. But he says, you 1468 01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:54.239 want lots of picks when you return. And this is 1469 01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:56.400 I think it's very important here. I did have this 1470 01:02:56.440 --> 01:02:58.400 in my notes at the start, that usually we get 1471 01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:01.920 the Smithers is gay for Burns gags, right, and we 1472 01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:03.840 didn't get any of that here. We get the Smithers's 1473 01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:05.320 gay gags, which is what we get here because he 1474 01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:08.480 goes photo taking isn't allowed in this particular resort. But 1475 01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:09.519 we don't get. 1476 01:03:09.480 --> 01:03:13.800 Also, they're playing Relaxed by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, which 1477 01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:16.599 is scientifically proven to be the gayest song ever put. 1478 01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:18.800 To, you know, recorded, but we don't get. But we 1479 01:03:18.840 --> 01:03:22.280 don't get Smithers is gay for Burns here because that no, no, 1480 01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:24.320 they always feel weird those gags to me anyway. 1481 01:03:24.679 --> 01:03:27.000 Well, yeah, I mean I think there was a gag 1482 01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:30.679 on thirty Rock when one of the writers, Frank was 1483 01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:33.360 kind of like there was some delivery guy who used 1484 01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:35.639 to come around. He's like, yeah, I think I think 1485 01:03:35.639 --> 01:03:37.559 I'm gay for this guy, and he's like, I'm not gay, 1486 01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:40.119 I'm just gay for Jamie. Yeah, And that's the thing 1487 01:03:40.159 --> 01:03:43.880 I think that, Yeah, for a long time was like Smithers. 1488 01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:45.719 I'm not sure if his sexuality. He's just got this 1489 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:49.039 infatuation with mister Burns, is like, no, Smithers likes dudes. 1490 01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:51.360 But then Homer arrives the next day, just before he 1491 01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:52.960 walks in, his sort of shutters, So it's now clearly 1492 01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:54.840 affecting him, and we just get a montage here of 1493 01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:56.679 Burns ranting at him. So sixty watts, what do you 1494 01:03:56.679 --> 01:03:58.639 think this is a tanning salon? You want a light 1495 01:03:58.679 --> 01:03:59.760 stanch on his nightcap? 1496 01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:00.719 Posted? 1497 01:04:01.039 --> 01:04:03.360 You call this a tax return, you call this a supercomputer, 1498 01:04:03.880 --> 01:04:06.119 just sort of throwing everything, throwing things at Homer. Eventually 1499 01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:07.960 Homer just loses it and punches him out. 1500 01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:12.960 Nice little gag about Burns being old. You mentioned post them, Yeah, 1501 01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:16.280 which is a brand of caffeine, a powdered caffeine free 1502 01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:21.320 roasted grain beverage which sounds delightful. Invented by c to 1503 01:04:21.320 --> 01:04:23.920 be posted in eighteen ninety five as a healthier alternative 1504 01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:29.480 to coffee. Yeah, no, would have been all the rage. 1505 01:04:29.559 --> 01:04:31.119 You know when Monty's coming. 1506 01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:33.559 Up, Well, this episode aired ninety six, they're technically saying 1507 01:04:33.559 --> 01:04:37.599 that he was born in what eighteen ninety two?

He 1513 01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:50.119 would have pushed him over all. 1514 01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:51.920 In no, no, he labors him. 1515 01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:54.840 Yeah, it's an absolute Yeah. 1516 01:04:54.920 --> 01:04:57.480 If you watched it for the first time, you'd be like, shit, 1517 01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:00.199 I killed well, especially. 1518 01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:02.559 Because yeah, Burns has been presented as so old and frails. 1519 01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:04.920 How a good right cross of the face is just 1520 01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:10.880 gonna take the way out.

Homer goes back, and I love it, 1538 01:06:01.840 --> 01:06:03.159 just it was just the use of sound here. So 1539 01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:04.880 he opens the door. You can't see anything, and you 1540 01:06:04.960 --> 01:06:07.400 just hear the heavy breathing of Burns, just worried, and 1541 01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:09.280 you see him carrying in the corner behind the pop plant. 1542 01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:11.000 He says he can't, you know, he can't stand another 1543 01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:13.199 another beating. He's like, don't, I'll help you. Let me 1544 01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:16.800 put some salt on that eye. So so he calls 1545 01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:20.079 he tries to call Smithers. And this is a great 1546 01:06:20.119 --> 01:06:23.199 sort of callback to a running gag throughout The Simpsons, 1547 01:06:23.199 --> 01:06:25.440 which is the Bart prank calls to Mow. So he 1548 01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:27.559 tries to call Smithers by dialing the numbers in this 1549 01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:30.920 in the order of Smithers. He calls most taving I 1550 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:34.280 want a mister Smithers first name Whelon, and Moe goes 1551 01:06:34.320 --> 01:06:36.960 on his rant. So this is where Burns panics, hangs 1552 01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:39.119 up the Phone's like Smithers, where are you? And we 1553 01:06:39.199 --> 01:06:41.599 get the you're talking about where he's driving to speed, 1554 01:06:41.599 --> 01:06:44.119 but mister Burns needs me, and all the dudes fall 1555 01:06:44.239 --> 01:06:44.559 to the boat. 1556 01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:49.159 Smithers, by the way, I love Mo's line about yeah, 1557 01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:50.599 when he's getting all fired up the bag in this 1558 01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:53.159 brank phone call, ripping his eyes out, putting and shoving 1559 01:06:53.199 --> 01:06:54.840 him down his pants so he can see me kick 1560 01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:55.360 his ass. 1561 01:06:55.440 --> 01:07:00.239 Yes, but this is where we we have. Homer Burs 1562 01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:01.800 are scared in the office. He doesn't want to leave 1563 01:07:01.800 --> 01:07:03.760 in case home's out there. He puts the mirror under 1564 01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:05.960 the door. Home is there, and he says, look, you're 1565 01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:08.199 going to make your coffee. So no, no, no, the percolations 1566 01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:10.519 are eminent. I'm making my own coffee, sees you ingress. 1567 01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:12.880 So Homer then walks off. Homan enters and it's just 1568 01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:15.760 coffee everywhere. Burn says he stopped the beans himself, and 1569 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:17.679 the offers to drive Burns home, but he says, no, no, no, 1570 01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:19.480 I'm going to chaffee myself. He's just he's too scared 1571 01:07:19.519 --> 01:07:23.199 of Homer. And this is where Burns realizes, Oh, doing 1572 01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:25.840 shit for myself is actually good. I actually can do this. 1573 01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:29.159 I don't need Smithers essentially, but Burns gets he's got 1574 01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:32.079 a new lease on life. Now I'm actually enjoying this. 1575 01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:34.800 Can we give a shout out to Velocitata and the 1576 01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:38.199 salet tricks? Oh yeah, accelerator and break. I'm sorry that 1577 01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:40.960 we used to make things in this country, as I 1578 01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:44.280 like to say, we creative. You could say that was 1579 01:07:44.360 --> 01:07:46.679 your cards, Like, all right, put to the floor. You 1580 01:07:46.679 --> 01:07:48.480 know I'm really hitting the vocitator. 1581 01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:51.480 Yes, so he says he's making an incredible time. 1582 01:07:51.679 --> 01:07:55.440 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where he hits nearly hits Wigham. 1583 01:07:55.599 --> 01:08:00.840 Yes, yes, nice drive, mister B. That's a nice well, 1584 01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:02.119 that's a sort of it is that a callback is 1585 01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:04.480 mother Simpson after all before this episode, because we established 1586 01:08:04.480 --> 01:08:06.960 in the episode when my Homer's mum comes that Wigham 1587 01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:09.840 used to work for Burns. Remember, Oh that's right, that's why, 1588 01:08:10.119 --> 01:08:11.760 that's why he refers to as mister B. Mister B. 1589 01:08:12.159 --> 01:08:12.760 Yeah. 1590 01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:15.480 So the next morning, Burns has already shrewted the environmental 1591 01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:18.319 reports and thrown him out the window. He offers Homer 1592 01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:20.319 his own cappucino. He knows how to make cappucino. He 1593 01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:23.000 has the phone and a hoy hoy. That's one of 1594 01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:25.760 my favorite Burns is ever just a hoy, hoy. It's 1595 01:08:25.760 --> 01:08:27.880 just apparently that's what they is. 1596 01:08:27.920 --> 01:08:31.159 A bell Alexander Graham bell. Yeah, that's how we suggested, 1597 01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:32.000 do you answer the phone? 1598 01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:33.960 Yeah, he's like, he said hello, that's that was the 1599 01:08:33.960 --> 01:08:36.680 original hello. That's what the suggestion was. That's and that's 1600 01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:37.640 where the gay comes from. 1601 01:08:37.760 --> 01:08:37.960 Yeah. 1602 01:08:38.079 --> 01:08:40.800 So so that he says, this is five two four six. 1603 01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:43.479 He's got the wrong number anyway. So then he says, Homer, 1604 01:08:43.760 --> 01:08:45.479 you've done more for me than any other man on 1605 01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:48.119 this planet. Your brutal attack forced me to look after myself. 1606 01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:50.039 You know, being weighted on hand and foot is fine, 1607 01:08:50.119 --> 01:08:52.600 but you average Joe. But it's not for me. And 1608 01:08:52.640 --> 01:08:54.520 this is where he thanks him, and Smithers walks in 1609 01:08:54.560 --> 01:08:57.960 and sees Burns cuddling Homer saying thank you, and he 1610 01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:00.520 thinks everything's wrong. He says, well now he send him 1611 01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:02.239 back to his job. He says, you heard the man, Simpson, 1612 01:09:02.279 --> 01:09:04.439 and Smithers, you're not in it at all. You're fired. 1613 01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:07.199 You shouldn't have gone away on vacation. That is a 1614 01:09:07.439 --> 01:09:10.319 setup for a gag later on with the you really 1615 01:09:10.359 --> 01:09:15.520 blew it this but Brad dinner and Homer he feels remorseful. 1616 01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:17.479 He feels sad that he's the reason that Smithers has 1617 01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:20.520 got fired. And we can be kind of a sad 1618 01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:22.880 March moment again here, and he's like, imagine Margin if 1619 01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:24.680 you got fired from those things that you do. And 1620 01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:27.439 but it's like quickman, move up a cake before dad fires. Yeah, 1621 01:09:27.560 --> 01:09:29.760 there's levels to that gag. It's actually really sad that 1622 01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:32.239 all I think margin is worth worth is cooking. 1623 01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:36.600 But anyway, there's a couple of great I love the 1624 01:09:36.920 --> 01:09:38.880 I think there's two or three moments in this episode 1625 01:09:38.880 --> 01:09:42.399 where Smithers does the oh my god, like he he 1626 01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:45.880 drops something in panics. He drops his bag and it's 1627 01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:47.239 just got four pineapples in it. 1628 01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:48.119 But pineapples. 1629 01:09:48.279 --> 01:09:49.720 That's what it's just about to say. 1630 01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:52.199 What crates on a little visual bit of a bit 1631 01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:55.239 of business. I brought to some pineapples. 1632 01:09:55.239 --> 01:09:59.800 So but Lisa here says. 1633 01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:02.359 That Smith's is a go get. He'll get a new job. 1634 01:10:02.439 --> 01:10:03.920 I mean think it's at eighteen t But now as 1635 01:10:03.920 --> 01:10:06.159 you're saying it's neat and tidy piano movers, he's gonna 1636 01:10:06.159 --> 01:10:07.760 need to steal ride now to where his spine was. 1637 01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:09.680 He's never gonna be able to move pianos again, and 1638 01:10:09.720 --> 01:10:11.920 now call back to the opening act with the with 1639 01:10:11.960 --> 01:10:13.880 the drag racing with the voice of a guy at 1640 01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:15.319 Smith as he is trying to do it. Do we 1641 01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:17.119 need all these mayhems? We do well? I suppose you 1642 01:10:17.159 --> 01:10:21.399 know your businesses, got ready. 1643 01:10:21.159 --> 01:10:23.760 For ex signing, corner action at the Springfield dragstrip, get 1644 01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:27.720 a motorized mayhem, mayhem, mayhem.

People are already here. 1648 01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:38.359 We don't need to keep hustling them like this, do we? 1649 01:10:38.760 --> 01:10:39.640 He let go of me. 1650 01:10:40.199 --> 01:10:41.159 Where are you froming? 1651 01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:44.520 Then he asked for the job at Mos, which is 1652 01:10:44.560 --> 01:10:46.760 the Barney guarding job, because when they do the midnight delivery, 1653 01:10:46.760 --> 01:10:49.039 someone needs to distract Barney. He says, well, I was 1654 01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:51.159 way outside until it's time, and Bunnet looks for to 1655 01:10:51.159 --> 01:10:52.880 working with him. Then Homer He's like, no, I'm going 1656 01:10:52.920 --> 01:10:54.520 to put a stop to this. He says, no. You 1657 01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:56.600 can take the Barney guarding job, like many of us 1658 01:10:56.600 --> 01:10:59.119 have contemplated in our darkest moments, or you can admit 1659 01:10:59.199 --> 01:11:01.439 to yourself that there's only one person makes you happy 1660 01:11:01.439 --> 01:11:03.159 and you're gonna do whatever it takes to get them back, 1661 01:11:03.239 --> 01:11:05.119 and he agrees to do that. Oh this is where 1662 01:11:05.119 --> 01:11:07.760 we get another Oh my god, I love God here. 1663 01:11:07.760 --> 01:11:09.359 But when he realizes that Barney is not at his 1664 01:11:09.399 --> 01:11:12.359 seat and we don't see anything, we just hear Barney 1665 01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:13.399 just wrecking shit outside. 1666 01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:16.520 He's so happy. 1667 01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:18.319 Yes, he's so so happy. 1668 01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:18.560 Yeah. 1669 01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:21.399 But if you watch most most emotions here, like you 1670 01:11:21.520 --> 01:11:24.119 just he's going through like seven different motions of you know, sadness, 1671 01:11:24.239 --> 01:11:26.680 Terror's terrified, what's going to happen? It's just it's so great. 1672 01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:30.239 My favorite bit in that though, it's like when Homer 1673 01:11:30.319 --> 01:11:33.439 is giving Smithers that pep talk and talks about you know, yeah, 1674 01:11:33.479 --> 01:11:35.359 you can take the job that so many have contemplated 1675 01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:38.039 in our darkest hours. I bet we've all got that 1676 01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:41.680 sort of rock bottom job. It's kind of like if 1677 01:11:41.720 --> 01:11:44.359 nothing else works out, I'm sure I can go do this, 1678 01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:47.760 but I'll know that like nothing else is panned out 1679 01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:50.600 of my life. But okay, this will you know, keep 1680 01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:52.720 the lights on and you keep the wolf from the door. 1681 01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:55.600 Now, you were saying, as you know, pull back the curtain, 1682 01:11:55.760 --> 01:11:57.560 Cameron d a new battery. You were saying whilst we're 1683 01:11:57.560 --> 01:11:59.520 doing that that you have to fact check in correctly. 1684 01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:01.680 Do you want to settle the score here about Jack Benny? 1685 01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:04.680 Okay, then yes we should. We should put a little 1686 01:12:04.680 --> 01:12:07.680 respect on the name of one Frank Nelson. Who is that, 1687 01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:11.000 you may ask. He's the gentleman who said yes on 1688 01:12:11.119 --> 01:12:14.640 there on the Jack Benny Show. That's apparently all Frank did. 1689 01:12:14.760 --> 01:12:17.159 Look Frank probably was a really sweet guy who did 1690 01:12:17.239 --> 01:12:19.159 ride by his family in his community. But yeah, he 1691 01:12:19.239 --> 01:12:20.439 is best known for saying. 1692 01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:22.840 You, if you can get a gig like that, though 1693 01:12:22.920 --> 01:12:23.720 your set right? 1694 01:12:23.880 --> 01:12:24.239 Oh god? 1695 01:12:24.319 --> 01:12:24.520 Yeah? 1696 01:12:24.600 --> 01:12:28.199 Like just yeah catchphrase guy, catchphrase guy.

Old Gill 1718 01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:24.239 actually came into the show when Phil Hartman was taken 1719 01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:27.279 from us because he voiced Lionel Huts and Troy McClure, 1720 01:13:27.479 --> 01:13:29.439 and it was almost like Old Gill took over from. 1721 01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:31.000 Lionel Hearts because Lonel Huts was sort of like that, 1722 01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:32.680 we need a pathetic punching back. 1723 01:13:33.239 --> 01:13:35.279 Yeah, and that's Old Gil.

Yeah, it's a really famous play and it was 1737 01:14:09.600 --> 01:14:12.479 turned into a movie and and there's really all star 1738 01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:18.119 cast at Albercino, Alec Baldwin, Hiven Spacey. But but Jack 1739 01:14:18.199 --> 01:14:21.119 Lemon is playing this character who's like this old real 1740 01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:23.399 estate salesman who's a bit pass it but still you know, 1741 01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:26.960 still in their punching. And that's very much what Gill 1742 01:14:27.079 --> 01:14:29.279 is based on. It even down to the look. But 1743 01:14:29.319 --> 01:14:31.800 he's kind of like, you know, can't really make a sale. 1744 01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:33.840 And by the end he's actually thought he's made this 1745 01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:37.039 killer sale and he's sort of walking around all puffed up, 1746 01:14:37.039 --> 01:14:39.239 and it turns out that it's these people just like 1747 01:14:39.239 --> 01:14:42.079 to talk to realists.

They thought it was going to be 1785 01:16:43.319 --> 01:16:46.479 too harsh to hear the sound effects of them punching 1786 01:16:46.479 --> 01:16:48.720 each other, so they hit it amongst the groans, so 1787 01:16:49.439 --> 01:16:51.680 you actually hear the punch. You just hear the ow 1788 01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:53.800 ow ow as opposed to the sound of a punch. 1789 01:16:53.880 --> 01:16:55.720 But I do like when Smithers gets his hand stuck 1790 01:16:55.760 --> 01:16:57.439 in home a stomach and hope it just like hits 1791 01:16:57.520 --> 01:17:00.960 him in the head, playing with him. Burns tries to 1792 01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:02.880 stop them with all the poking in the water and whatnot. 1793 01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:05.159 And I just love Psmith's meeting him with the phone, 1794 01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:08.640 but also saying it's very young, yes, yeah, and then 1795 01:17:08.800 --> 01:17:10.239 I'll teach you how to use a phone. And then 1796 01:17:10.279 --> 01:17:12.520 Burns climbs onto the big Polar Bear, which I think 1797 01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:15.000 up to this point it's always been a part of 1798 01:17:15.199 --> 01:17:19.000 Burns's office, but never really acknowledged. And finally he Burns 1799 01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:20.960 is climbing into the Polar Bear. He opens up the 1800 01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:24.279 safe door. Smithers does hits Homer and he falls back 1801 01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:26.960 into the polar bear knocks Burns out the window. Oh my. 1802 01:17:28.039 --> 01:17:32.439 Then we cut to Smither's feeding Burns. Here comes the endangered. 1803 01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:36.119 Condor into the power lines. Egg eats is either an 1804 01:17:36.199 --> 01:17:38.159 extinct or endangered species. 1805 01:17:38.239 --> 01:17:43.319 He's got a monster, He's got bobo hot from the dryer. 1806 01:17:43.520 --> 01:17:46.199 And make sure you know burn burn yourself on his eye? Yes, 1807 01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:47.960 and Burns says, you know what, when you were gone, 1808 01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:51.319 I became completely self reliant, and he gets with like 1809 01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:54.199 a Spanish peanut, yep, take the skin off. Then he says, 1810 01:17:54.760 --> 01:17:56.319 but that guy doesn't say homi. His name is that 1811 01:17:56.439 --> 01:17:58.119 guy that hit me. Make sure he gets what's coming 1812 01:17:58.159 --> 01:17:59.920 to him, And we cut to the family, all enjoying 1813 01:18:00.279 --> 01:18:03.319 a fruit hamper courtesy of Smithers, saying thank you. What 1814 01:18:03.399 --> 01:18:06.039 does you think? What's he thinking you for for pushing Burns. 1815 01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:08.159 Out of her? Was it five story story window? Free 1816 01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:09.199 story window? Did you die? 1817 01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:09.359 What? 1818 01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:10.159 Am I a doctor? 1819 01:18:10.960 --> 01:18:11.640 And that is up? 1820 01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:13.439 And that's a good way of getting back the status squad? 1821 01:18:13.479 --> 01:18:19.720 Wasn't it very much? Homer's reset the factory setting, But again, 1822 01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:21.840 I know the classic said gone got delivery of like 1823 01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:22.760 what am I doctor? 1824 01:18:24.079 --> 01:18:26.119 And that is the end of Homer the Smithers. Yeah, 1825 01:18:26.159 --> 01:18:28.880 fantastic episode, and was saying early one were surprise wasn't 1826 01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:31.000 done much earlier. I'm glad you chose it, Daniel, thinking 1827 01:18:31.000 --> 01:18:33.439 of choosing it. But what we usually do before we 1828 01:18:33.520 --> 01:18:35.359 wrap up, though, I would like to ask our guests, 1829 01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:38.239 we give them the spiel of it's nineteen ninety eight, 1830 01:18:38.279 --> 01:18:39.760 so you got the first ten seasons of the show 1831 01:18:39.800 --> 01:18:42.760 to work with. Nineteen ninety eight. Channel ten have come 1832 01:18:42.840 --> 01:18:44.920 to you, they said, Daniel, we want you to put 1833 01:18:44.960 --> 01:18:48.640 together a five episode Friday night Simpsons marathon. When marathons 1834 01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:50.479 were a big thing and we love marathons back in 1835 01:18:50.520 --> 01:18:53.319 the day. What five episodes of the Simpsons are you going? 1836 01:18:53.359 --> 01:18:56.520 With no particular order, we go obviously that one Home 1837 01:18:56.560 --> 01:19:00.960 of the Smithers. I'd have that number one. A fish 1838 01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:01.680 called Selma. 1839 01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:05.119 Okay, we've had a few people picking that one recently. 1840 01:19:05.239 --> 01:19:10.720 Yeah, that's the Troy McClure episode. Troy McClue is another 1841 01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:16.399 character I really enjoy, just his lodginess and he's always 1842 01:19:16.439 --> 01:19:17.039 up to no good. 1843 01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:19.840 And that is the Troy McClure episode too. And I'm 1844 01:19:19.880 --> 01:19:22.399 so glad we got that before Phil Hartmon passed away. 1845 01:19:23.039 --> 01:19:26.720 But of Darkness, the one where yeah, the pool he 1846 01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:37.279 breaks his leg and then starts Flanders is screaming's. 1847 01:19:33.800 --> 01:19:35.399 Right to put a neat little package. 1848 01:19:37.319 --> 01:19:39.880 When Flanders failed. Because I'm a lefty, so I love that. 1849 01:19:42.640 --> 01:19:43.880 One always appealed. 1850 01:19:43.560 --> 01:19:46.359 To me, was what being left handed? Was that ever 1851 01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:49.039 represented much on TV when you were going up? 1852 01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:53.319 I don't, I don't think. I just remember that being like, 1853 01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:54.319 oh that's cool. 1854 01:19:56.159 --> 01:19:59.880 Like was he like the left handed representation on TV 1855 01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:03.640 when you were when young? Yeah, that's being a right handed. 1856 01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:05.279 It never really was a big deal to me. I 1857 01:20:05.319 --> 01:20:06.720 was like, oh, Flanners is left handed. But I think 1858 01:20:06.720 --> 01:20:08.840 if like, imagine if you were left handed, it's like, oh, 1859 01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:10.760 finally a character just like me. 1860 01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:16.279 And Homer's Barbershop Quartet is probably one of my top Yeah, 1861 01:20:16.399 --> 01:20:17.520 definitely one of my favorites. 1862 01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:20.119 Yeah, okay, I just love the Beatles fan the. 1863 01:20:20.159 --> 01:20:24.199 Beatles, Yeah, all those references, it's just a it's just 1864 01:20:24.279 --> 01:20:26.800 a really lovely episode that one. The songs are so 1865 01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:27.880 good in that as well. 1866 01:20:28.039 --> 01:20:30.600 Yeah, yeah, the fantastic Yeah, like maybe on Board seems 1867 01:20:30.640 --> 01:20:32.399 like it's it's it's a joke, but it's actually a 1868 01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:35.720 really catchy song. Maybe on board Yeah yeah. But the 1869 01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:38.000 thing is with that episode too. When I was a kid, 1870 01:20:38.039 --> 01:20:41.119 I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't one of my favorites. 1871 01:20:41.119 --> 01:20:43.239 But I think getting older and becoming a real Beatles 1872 01:20:43.279 --> 01:20:46.399 fan and understanding all the references, it's like, it's it's 1873 01:20:46.520 --> 01:20:50.920 it's it's fantastic for a Beatles fan, it's everything you want. Alrighty, So, 1874 01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:52.840 which which one are you going to start with? Which 1875 01:20:52.840 --> 01:20:54.720 one would you end with? Do you think I reckon? 1876 01:20:54.800 --> 01:20:58.279 I start with I'd finished with the quartet, and I'd 1877 01:20:58.319 --> 01:21:00.319 start with left Hand Left handed reckon. 1878 01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:02.159 You're the first person to not put a treost of 1879 01:21:02.199 --> 01:21:09.159 horror in but it makes them. Yeah, so any of 1880 01:21:09.159 --> 01:21:10.920 horrors that you did, like, you. 1881 01:21:10.960 --> 01:21:13.279 Know, I never I never would have watched one.

Every time 1883 01:21:16.039 --> 01:21:17.239 they'd start, I'd be like that. 1884 01:21:18.760 --> 01:21:19.640 I put on. 1885 01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:24.720 All right. 1886 01:21:24.760 --> 01:21:26.800 Well, thank you so much Daniel again for joining us 1887 01:21:26.840 --> 01:21:29.039 here to review Home in the Smithers.
