Speaker 1: You sure you're not? Man, No, I'm not mad, mister jerdy.
Speaker 1: Can you ask Lisa if she's mad? What's that?
Speaker 2: Mister Jerdy?
Speaker 1: You're saying that you know women and that when women stay,
Speaker 1: they're not mad, they're madder than ever. Oh she's gone.
Speaker 1: Can you drive me home? I'm a little drunk.
Speaker 3: Four Finger Discount Ude, Welcome to four Finger Discount.
Speaker 4: With this week, we're here to review episode six of
Speaker 4: the twentieth season of the Simpsons. It is Homer and
Speaker 4: Lisa exchange crosswords. I'm Dando and I am guy.
Speaker 5: Yes, we're back.
Speaker 4: You know what it was? I actually mentioned this to Ali.
Speaker 4: I said, we did dangerous curves and it left such
Speaker 4: a bad fucking taste in my mouth that I wanted to.
Speaker 5: Take a break.
Speaker 4: I couldn't do it anymore. But Homer Lisa exchanged crosswords.
Speaker 4: Thank God, much better than dangerous curves.
Speaker 5: Very sweet little episode, but I don't know, enjoyable. I
Speaker 5: mean you like Daddy daughter episodes?
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I think just you know when you've gone
Speaker 4: through these moments ago, I mean, obviously he Holly hasn't
Speaker 4: had the level of argument with me yet, but she's
Speaker 4: she's argued back and she walks and she.
Speaker 5: Goes and I'm like, you do a gag.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I enjoyed that aspect. I do think that
Speaker 4: they could have done more with Gil here. So Gil
Speaker 4: a bit of a hustle here. You won the crossword
Speaker 4: contest over Lisa. He hustled her and they sort of
Speaker 4: left her that, And I thought I could buy into
Speaker 4: Gill Gutterson being a villain.
Speaker 5: I was. Yeah, it was an interesting heel turn from Gil. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm kind of weighing up two things here. I think
Speaker 5: you've said in the past how there was a time
Speaker 5: when the Simps, when the Simpsons was writing gags, it
Speaker 5: was writing gags that were specific for certain characters. This
Speaker 5: gag for this one, this gag for that one. And
Speaker 5: lately it seems to be more like, let's just throw
Speaker 5: in a bunch of gags and we'll give them to
Speaker 5: any sort of random character. Yeah, anyone could have been
Speaker 5: the heel in this. I mean, it was interesting that
Speaker 5: it was Gil. I like what you're saying about. It
Speaker 5: would have been good to sort of set it up
Speaker 5: a bit earlier. So you're playing on this perception we
Speaker 5: have of Gil as the perpetual loser, as the underdog,
Speaker 5: and then when he has the heeled him when he
Speaker 5: turns out to be the hustler. That's a nice little
Speaker 5: rug pull.
Speaker 4: It could have been that Gil was the one that
Speaker 4: got Lisa into cross words somehow, where you know, he
Speaker 4: could have for some reason it stems from her helping
Speaker 4: him to a cross and go thanks Lisa, And then
Speaker 4: he eventually turns out to be a bad guy like
Speaker 4: they were like a friend friends up until that point
Speaker 4: or some day. Yeah, I don't Gil, Not Gil such
Speaker 4: a nice guy who got me.
Speaker 5: Into cross it's s and D. But then your mentor
Speaker 5: turns out to be just the villain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's not the point of the story. I
Speaker 4: guess it's not. No, it was just a bit about
Speaker 4: its spice. Yeah, the story. The story isn't really the
Speaker 4: contest of the tournament at all. The story is Homer
Speaker 4: betting against Lisa.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's the real sort of crux of it. Lack
Speaker 5: of faith or is a lack of faith the more
Speaker 5: sort of an exploitation of a I guess a flaw
Speaker 5: or weakness.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. I just liked the way that
Speaker 4: the inciting story actually led to something here. So whilst
Speaker 4: him breaking up people was whatever it was. At least
Speaker 4: it was a way for him to have the money
Speaker 4: to bet against her, true, because normally they would just
Speaker 4: go home hasting taking the fa the family savings.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like, well, I guess you're not going to college
Speaker 5: or something like that.
Speaker 4: Little things like that matter because it makes Home become
Speaker 4: even more despicable if he's using the family savings to
Speaker 4: gamble on something, because there's a chance that he might
Speaker 4: lose the savings. This is money that he's earned himself.
Speaker 4: So leis he's lost his own money. He's not losing
Speaker 4: the family savings. Lisa's college fund it and.
Speaker 5: It doesn't double down on the dickishness.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're gonna be honest, Lisa said, I always
Speaker 4: screw these things up for myself. I always do it,
Speaker 4: and I feel like I'm going to do it again. Homer,
Speaker 4: why would he not gamble against her?
Speaker 5: I must have met There were times when I was
Speaker 5: watching this episode thinking my bad person, thinking Homer is
Speaker 5: savvy gamblers, a savvy punter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they sort of they judging for it, and
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, what do you mean?
Speaker 5: I'm glad how they pointed that, you know, the barman
Speaker 5: slash bookie who was like, here's your money trashing your
Speaker 5: daughter's like, you're awfully judging for a bartender who's taking
Speaker 5: bets on the side. Yeah, I mean, I'll admit it.
Speaker 5: I was thinking not a bad move by home. When
Speaker 5: that happens, I always think, oh God, my moral compass
Speaker 5: is just completely askew. I'm really a terrible person, and
Speaker 5: not even underneath it all just on the service. Well,
Speaker 5: I'm watching down, I'm.
Speaker 4: Watching it going could I gamble against Elliott in like
Speaker 4: a football game or I go? I just I just
Speaker 4: don't think I could do it.
Speaker 5: You would.
Speaker 4: I would feel too bad. Even if I knew it
Speaker 4: was the white bet, I'd go No. I just couldn't.
Speaker 4: I couldn't live for myself. And what do you think
Speaker 4: of Lisa's reaction to it? Where she wasn't necessarily angry?
Speaker 5: You know, that's well, that's worse. Yeah, it's become a
Speaker 5: cliche at this stage. I'm not mad. I'm just appointed.
Speaker 5: It's like, well, that's even worse. Mad at me Mum
Speaker 5: and dad? Yeah, you know, going out and drinking all
Speaker 5: night or whatever all, you know, coming home and throwing
Speaker 5: up on the rug.
Speaker 4: It's the same thing that's happened Marge being not proud
Speaker 4: when but shopliftsh March just she doesn't yell at him,
Speaker 4: but she just the cold shoulder is just the terrifying. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because it's just not terrifying, it's just it hurts you more.
Speaker 5: Well, you get the feeling. It's like, you know, an
Speaker 5: explosion of anger, unless you're in a really sort of
Speaker 5: dysfunctional house. I was like, it's one and done. It's like, God,
Speaker 5: damn it, you're fucked up. I'm so angry. I just
Speaker 5: take a break, take a break. Okay, you're messed up.
Speaker 5: We all learned something today, but we all learned something,
Speaker 5: whereas where is something like no, it's fine, No, it's fine.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh shit, is this ongoing? Is this a
Speaker 5: real shift in the relationship. Is I've just damage just
Speaker 5: beyond repair and this is how it's going to be
Speaker 5: from now on? Terrifying? Yeah, scary, Yeah, but the Simpsons
Speaker 5: invariably reversed to the status quo. It wasn't gonna stay
Speaker 5: bad for too long, and Homer, to his credits, came
Speaker 5: up with a nice gesture of reconciliation or asking for forgiveness.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's just again. I put up a
Speaker 4: video yesterday on social media of me talking about why
Speaker 4: Bart Versus Australia is a much better vacation episode because
Speaker 4: I did best of vacation episodes of Elliott, Joe and
Speaker 4: Neil from Simpsons Index over the Break, and I was
Speaker 4: talking about how Bart Versus Australia relies on the Simpsons
Speaker 4: experience Australian culture, where as they go to England, it's hey,
Speaker 4: it's Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Speaker 5: Hey, it's the Queen.
Speaker 4: It's relying heavily on guest stars. This one here again
Speaker 4: they relied on the guest star for the conclusion of
Speaker 4: the story. Ah yeah, I say it felt natural. It's
Speaker 4: kind of intially he got in touch with the New
Speaker 4: York Times crossword guy. But still it made I guess
Speaker 4: it suited the story.
Speaker 5: Well, he's got that fat water cash. I mean, I imagine
Speaker 5: that's going to talk. That is true.
Speaker 4: I didn't That's what I didn't play it up there?
Speaker 5: Did they?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: But that's what I'm thinking. I guess it's simple or
Speaker 5: maybe you know, maybe you're supposed to pick up but
Speaker 5: it maybe you're not.
Speaker 4: But I guess we should have mentioned that I reckon
Speaker 4: him holding the money bags. How did you make this happen?
Speaker 5: Dad?
Speaker 4: Oh, I have my ways and him home is gambly
Speaker 4: money written on a bag of a dollar sign or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it also puts the moral scales back in
Speaker 5: the balance because he's got he hasn't got ill gotten
Speaker 5: gains by betting against Lisa. But yeah, that money's tainted
Speaker 5: because it comes, as they say, drenching his daughter's tears. Again,
Speaker 5: I always say my moral comes is out of balance.
Speaker 5: But you know, it's like when you see movies. I
Speaker 5: think I've said this before. When is it lethal weapon two?
Speaker 5: I've never seen too. Oh well, there's a bit of
Speaker 5: it where Mel Gibson and Danny Glover they're in the
Speaker 5: ship containers full of drug money, and Danny Glove was
Speaker 5: like this one handful of the Lord. This could pim sorry, sorry,
Speaker 5: the dreadful Danny Glove repersonation to a ship. This could
Speaker 5: pive my daughter's college. And melgiven like take it.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: You know, the money doesn't know where it came from.
Speaker 5: And of course, because it's good drug money, there's something
Speaker 5: good that the money don't get no conscience. But yeah,
Speaker 5: so when you have something like that. Invariably money that
Speaker 5: is ill gotten or has just that taint about it.
Speaker 5: You can't keep it, you can't use it so or
Speaker 5: you have to use good. You have to use it
Speaker 5: for good so and you have to get it back
Speaker 5: and you in this case, you've got to get back
Speaker 5: in your daughter's good books. You do it by throwing
Speaker 5: a bit of money at merv Regal I believe that's
Speaker 5: his name is and Will SHORTZ with a Z. Two
Speaker 5: things that Grandpa has no control of anyone. That's not
Speaker 5: a bad that was That was okay.
Speaker 4: I feel like your modern day approval of Simpsons Jake's
Speaker 4: That wasn't bad.
Speaker 5: That one was okay. I like that I'm doing my
Speaker 5: DENI not bad. There was a funny little bit good
Speaker 5: jokes like that was okay. It feels like I'm damn
Speaker 5: in the rest of it. But most of it sucked.
Speaker 5: Most of them was ship But that was all right.
Speaker 5: So I always say, yeah, just the will Will Shorts. Apparently,
Speaker 5: the appearance of these two gentlemen in documentary wordplay about
Speaker 5: the creation of cross words was the inspiration to sort
Speaker 5: of get these guys on board. Okay, yeah, Now, if
Speaker 5: I saw wordplay it was back in the day. I
Speaker 5: think it was the two thousand and six. Yeah, if
Speaker 5: I saw it, my apologies to all involved. I don't
Speaker 5: really remember it apparently, but I probably should remember because
Speaker 5: that's kind of shit seems right in my wheelhouse, like
Speaker 5: nerds playing with words. Man.
Speaker 4: It reminds me of that Donkey Kong documentary.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the King of Colin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that kind of ship where it's is they have
Speaker 4: their own world wherever it matters, and you look at
Speaker 4: and go, No one knows who these people are, but
Speaker 4: in their universe it's everything.
Speaker 5: There were There were a lot of great docos like
Speaker 5: that around this time. The Spelling Bee one as well,
Speaker 5: isn't it Spellbound? Spellband's fantastic? Yeah yeah, so that was
Speaker 5: what got Regal and Shorts on board. It's like the
Speaker 5: name Will Shorts a.
Speaker 4: Good name, well Shorts what it sounds like a comedian
Speaker 4: though to me it does a bit does it sounds
Speaker 4: Late Night with Bullshorts?
Speaker 5: So yeah, he's got a bit part on Seinfeld. He's like, hey,
Speaker 5: he ran into him at the comedy club. Type five.
Speaker 4: My favorite, my favorite moments I really enjoyed when they
Speaker 4: misspellut the names on the shirt and it said ILSA
Speaker 4: and she thought it was okay. First I did not
Speaker 4: what going for, and then she went disappointed.
Speaker 5: I went, oh, you know what, not bad. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I thought that was a very clever joke. I liked it,
Speaker 4: and I liked the grandpa bit as well. Of course
Speaker 4: the grandpa bit was very good. I'll tell you what
Speaker 4: a nice camera appears. We've seen this guy a bit.
Speaker 5: Well. I think he's usually a lawyer, the guy at
Speaker 5: the very start who when they've got the lemonade.
Speaker 4: STAD mean, the blue head lawyer who arrives as the
Speaker 4: blue head lawyer. But this becomes the lawyers, the blue
Speaker 4: head layer. I thought, oh, but he's got like a
Speaker 4: side gig or something, doesn't he because they I think
Speaker 4: he's just he's working for holding the case of the cancel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, great gig. It is a great gig. Yeah,
Speaker 5: excited about it. And it's like Bud's around a bride
Speaker 5: with thirty five cents on a I don't care if
Speaker 5: it's boty.
Speaker 4: Five cents And there's one of my trivia questions.
Speaker 5: Okay, so I'm sorry about that. I thought it was
Speaker 5: a very obvious, very tell not even telegraphed but it's
Speaker 5: like you could tell in the writer's room or in
Speaker 5: any sort of creative sphere. They were like, this will
Speaker 5: be pretty funny. They talk about San Francisco people mover,
Speaker 5: it's like speaking of that, and they cut to the
Speaker 5: gay club. Yeah there was. I wasn't. I don't know.
Speaker 4: The gay jokes didn't really work for me in a
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five rewatching where it was like, who here
Speaker 4: was a new partner? Put your hands up? Okay, what
Speaker 4: switches a new person? I was like, you wouldn't make
Speaker 4: this joke in a room full of women and men place.
Speaker 5: You know, you've also got very egregious hankers gay boys.
Speaker 5: But it also did give us a brief return of
Speaker 5: Scott Thompson from the Great comedy Trip Kids in the
Speaker 5: Hall playing Grady. Yeah, he was already in was it
Speaker 5: Three Gays of the Condo? Yeah, yeah, So we had
Speaker 5: one or two lines. But I'm always happy to see
Speaker 5: and or hear Scott Thompson. So that was good news.
Speaker 5: I think that might be everything because I also too
Speaker 5: like the Ilsea gag.
Speaker 4: I thought that was, yeah, there's another moment in there
Speaker 4: somewhere that I just it's the gambler who says Homers
Speaker 4: is part of the Asian kid.
Speaker 5: Hey you good name? You know what is it? I
Speaker 5: don't know. He's not my kids.
Speaker 1: Next question, you there eating the past.
Speaker 4: All let's get into trivia. My first question for you is,
Speaker 4: and this was a favorite moment slash trivia question. I'll
Speaker 4: put it in trivia. But I really liked the in
Speaker 4: memory of words that have been taken now the dictionary.
Speaker 4: What a nice little spin on the people who have
Speaker 4: lost over the years, over this last twelve months.
Speaker 5: So what are the words?
Speaker 4: Do you know any of them? I know all of them? Okay,
Speaker 4: then I can read them.
Speaker 5: Unlike you. I check my notes. And when we asked
Speaker 5: avery questions, skidatl nixonian Zounds, mimeograph, and hoot Nanny Nanny
Speaker 5: got a really big standing ovationion. It's my understanding. Yes,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do some savy cross promotion here. I mean,
Speaker 5: you're the marketing guru in this room, but I like
Speaker 5: to think I'm an enthusiastic amateur. We're going to be
Speaker 5: recording a Movie Guide episode fairly soon with our man
Speaker 5: Leondar Moulton talking about should we talk about so? Which
Speaker 5: movie it is? It's gonna be out by then. Anyway,
Speaker 5: we're talking about walk the line. While we're talking about
Speaker 5: walk the line, to the line, guy water Line. It
Speaker 5: was directed was directed by the maker of a Complete Unknown,
Speaker 5: which is in cinemas now. It's a bad Bob Dylan.
Speaker 5: I believe the word hoot nanny comes in that reallyir
Speaker 5: bit nanny. Yes, because there's a bit of a folk
Speaker 5: musician Pete Seeger in there. I believe enjoys nanny every
Speaker 5: now and again.
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you what it means. If someone said
Speaker 4: news hoot nanny in context, I couldn't have done it
Speaker 4: for you. It's just a fun word to say it is. Indeed, sc.

Speaker 5: You realize that our brains are becoming one because that
Speaker 5: was one of my tripper questions.
Speaker 4: I just feel like these days there's less and less
Speaker 4: sort of sight gags and things that sort of go
Speaker 4: that's a trivia question.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you're watching the classics and you go, I've got
Speaker 4: the ten triv questions and we're three minutes in.
Speaker 5: It's just chock full of winners. All right.

Speaker 4: I still want to yours just then?
Speaker 5: Okay, Yes, what is at the base of the tender
Speaker 5: dump system pyramid? There are two things I didn't even
Speaker 5: look now what was it? Flattery and lies? Okay?
Speaker 4: And my final question for you is in regards to
Speaker 4: the tender dump Simpson tender dump system, what how do
Speaker 4: you get it for free? I'll be there in so
Speaker 4: and so minutes. Oh, breakup is free. I want to
Speaker 4: say thirty thirty minutes. Yeah, it tend to be thirty minutes.
Speaker 4: It's thirty minutes. Yeah, thirty minutes all free.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Have you ever ordered a pizza? No, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 5: I'm not carrying up in that regard or even darrening.
Speaker 5: By the way, did you like what I did there? Yes?
Speaker 4: Because because today is Happy birthday to the patron Saint
Speaker 4: my uncle Darren I know listens to the show, So
Speaker 4: happy birthday.
Speaker 5: My unofficial uncle Darren. I am an unofficial uncle in
Speaker 5: a lot of way. It's all my friend's kids and well,
Speaker 5: my friends and my friend's kid refer to me as uncle.
Speaker 4: You're like the uncle Darren of that family.
Speaker 5: I am to many family.
Speaker 4: I feel like there's always that one uncle or auntie
Speaker 4: or whoever who all the nerds in the family in
Speaker 4: regards like the sci fi nerds whatever, credit that one person.
Speaker 5: Ago.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be into Star Wars. It wasn't for him.
Speaker 4: I would wouldn't be into all these things. It wasn't
Speaker 4: for him. He introduced me to all this stuff.
Speaker 5: I like to consider myself and Uncle Darren to certain people. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but ye, props to Uncle Darren. Never met the man,
Speaker 5: but he I don't think I've ever met him, but
Speaker 5: he's turned Dan to into the dando that he is today.
Speaker 4: I've never invited a guy at a family dinner yet.
Speaker 4: I haven't brought himame yet.
Speaker 5: Well it's because I'm the type you don't bring him to.
Speaker 5: But I'm not met Uncle Darren, but I feel as
Speaker 5: if I know him.
Speaker 4: Yes, all right, so he both that Uncle Darren. So
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask you, uh huh. I feel like
Speaker 4: maybe there was a pizza franchise that tried this for
Speaker 4: a while, but they haven't done it for a long time.
Speaker 4: But the so and so minutes or it's free. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I still feel even if they arrived if it was
Speaker 4: like twenty five minutes late, maybe, but it was in
Speaker 4: like five ten minutes, I'm not going to hold him
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I get the feeling. It also depends on
Speaker 5: the person who's delivering it as well. If you see
Speaker 5: they're sort of running up to your pizzas here and
Speaker 5: you're looking at the watch going tic tic tic tic tick.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you get some stoned in the man,
Speaker 5: who's your pizza? It's missing a slice? Yeah, it's like,
Speaker 5: this's got here in thirty two minutes. I want my
Speaker 5: money back, as opposed to someone who's going to do
Speaker 5: in twenty eight minutes. I want you got to hear
Speaker 5: in twenty eight minutes. But it's missing three slices. But
Speaker 5: I think if you've got some like I really need
Speaker 5: this tip, yeah, you'd be like, we'll let it slide.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, you know pizza franchises all
Speaker 5: fast food franchise does that be you know, writing checks
Speaker 5: your backcand cash?
Speaker 4: Who orders Pizza Hut and Domino's deliver it anymore? Who
Speaker 4: actually when you get a pizza? Who actually thinks I'm
Speaker 4: going to go to Pizza Hut now or I'm going
Speaker 4: to go to Dominoes? Who does that?
Speaker 5: Is it just lose kids? High school kids? Y?
Speaker 4: Essentially you only have like five bucks in their pocket.
Speaker 5: Ah. But even on just like, look we can't be
Speaker 5: us cooking it's pizza night, I'll be like it's got
Speaker 5: some only from Enzo's friend of the pot Enzos or
Speaker 5: you know El Toro in town, both really good pizzas
Speaker 5: and let's get Domino's mid lovers like, why that's garbage
Speaker 5: garbage pizza, absolute garbage, legitimate pizza.
Speaker 4: Everything on these pizza has come out of a packet.
Speaker 5: Everything I'm including the dough. I want to say, you know,
Speaker 5: share that to Dominoes. But at the same time, no,
Speaker 5: I don't enjoy Domino's pizza.
Speaker 4: I made the mistake. Once I've seen this, I don't forget.
Speaker 4: I was on Facebook, I may have told the story
Speaker 4: that's on the podcast, and there was a Domino's One
Speaker 4: dollar National Pizza Day or something, and all pizzas were
Speaker 4: one dollar Dominoes, right, But it was only the store.
Speaker 4: Maybe it was a grand opening or something. It was
Speaker 4: only the store in Heighten somewhere. And I was like, Okay, cool,
Speaker 4: this can't be legit, but anyway, I'll try it. And
Speaker 4: I ordered ten pizzas for ten but on this and
Speaker 4: I get there and the entire car park is just
Speaker 4: bombba with people, and I was like, oh, and these
Speaker 4: poor workers in there just like receipts, receipt just putting
Speaker 4: in the bear with the receipt. It was just that
Speaker 4: they're just like stressing out all these kids.
Speaker 2: Like oh, well, what do we do?
Speaker 4: Basically, the owners put that ad out there and I
Speaker 4: only supposed to put out there for twenty four hours,
Speaker 4: but they put it and take it off, so for
Speaker 4: the entire week.
Speaker 5: I think someone's getting fired. Oh boy, the car fuck.
Speaker 4: And I got there, they go it's going to be
Speaker 4: about a three hour wait and I was like, you
Speaker 4: know what, I'm gonna go home, come back because I
Speaker 4: paid ten off for ten lunch pieces. I'm going to
Speaker 4: get my ten lunch pieces. I got the pizzas, go
Speaker 4: home eight moment.
Speaker 5: You reminded me of something the other day in Geelong,
Speaker 5: we have a drive through coffee franchise called bean.
Speaker 4: Squeeze and Nicholas Patron Nicholas are friend of the pod.
Speaker 5: They're good. They're really good bean Squades and one of
Speaker 5: the hallmark keystone items is they do a really good
Speaker 5: chicken and cheese toasty and Luna would getting driving someone
Speaker 5: the other day, I was like, oh stop, I've grab
Speaker 5: a coffee banks you're hungry, We'll get one of those.
Speaker 5: Sad was oh yeah, get there and we're like, oh
Speaker 5: we'll have this this I want lots of butter, lots
Speaker 5: about it. I imagine it's got lots of butter because
Speaker 5: it tastes pretty good. This is a reference to another
Speaker 5: episode we did recently. We were just talked about butter
Speaker 5: A Lots going down to South Fark, that's correct. We said,
Speaker 5: oh yeah, we'll have one of your chicken and cheese toasties.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, we're the only Bean Squeeze franchise and jial
Speaker 5: On that doesn't do the chicken and cheese. We're like,
Speaker 5: that's just unfortunate for you, because I imagine you've got so
Speaker 5: many people coming through and saying I'll have a medium
Speaker 5: lastey and a chicken and chick. Sorry, we don't do
Speaker 5: the chicken. Chit what we do cheese? Yeah, you must be.
Speaker 5: They did everything else and we got the ham and cheese.
Speaker 5: Why not We didn't ask.
Speaker 4: You're a franchise. It's like when you go to Baker's
Speaker 4: to light and I love the berry and white chokscuns right,
Speaker 4: fucking unbelievable, right, Mike wave for fifteen secon twelve seconds,
Speaker 4: twelve seconds exactly, Okay, be precise. It's like it's not
Speaker 4: too hot and it's enough for the chocolate to start
Speaker 4: melting on the inside. Right, So berry and white Chok's
Speaker 4: gone and the one Baker's that we always go to,
Speaker 4: decided it would be a great idea to start adding
Speaker 4: passion fruit to it. So it's now passion fruit burying.
Speaker 4: And I was like, I just want berry and white
Speaker 4: chock the way it's been for the last ten years.
Speaker 4: They go, oh, we'll try in a new flavor, and
Speaker 4: I went, I'm not a.
Speaker 5: Fan of this. I refuse to quote bender. You should
Speaker 5: try something else.
Speaker 4: So then I went to another one who just did
Speaker 4: the right one the right way. And then recently we
Speaker 4: went there, got back from a holiday and they were like, oh,
Speaker 4: we're nowt doing lemon and berrying white Chok's gone.
Speaker 5: Nicola likes.
Speaker 4: Nicola goes, no, it doesn't work. There's too much lemon.
Speaker 4: And I was just like, why are you fucking this up?
Speaker 4: You had the best scones in Geelong. Why are you
Speaker 4: tampering with this shit?
Speaker 5: That's very sad.
Speaker 4: Just leave it, passion fruit.
Speaker 5: Lemon, just leave it.
Speaker 4: It's like, you know what it is. It's someone like
Speaker 4: Sydney from the Bears coming in and going we had
Speaker 4: to make this fancy, no fucking this. I was like,
Speaker 4: you had to bury in chocks, got a fucking work.
Speaker 5: People liked it. Why are you changing this? Why are
Speaker 5: you changing it? You had a really good sandwich shop.
Speaker 5: These things are worth their weight in gold. Why is
Speaker 5: you fucking this up?
Speaker 4: I'm sure I've just watched fishes, like I said of
Speaker 4: the Bear. Yes, but the entire time I've said to Nicola,
Speaker 4: I cannot stand this Sydney character. Can't stand it. She's
Speaker 4: come in assume as she's running the show. He gets annoyment.
Speaker 4: People don't give her run things by her, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: you were just the newbie last year. You've just strolled in.
Speaker 4: You've turned the best fucking hamburger joint or the best
Speaker 4: burger joint in Chicago into this fancy restaurant.
Speaker 5: What are you doing? I would be living this.
Speaker 4: Said, I said to Nicola Local Reference. This is how
Speaker 4: I feel every time I look at the Nash.
Speaker 5: Now, Ah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: You drive past and you go you're you're bereft of
Speaker 4: personality the Nash.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he used to be a you were the soul
Speaker 5: of the city. A lot of geelong soul has very
Speaker 5: much been sort of chipped and whittled away.
Speaker 4: They bike lanes and fucking updated pubs manner.
Speaker 5: And by the way, yes, look, Sydney is I think
Speaker 5: I don't think it's only Carmi who's trying to turn
Speaker 5: the beef into the bear. So yeah, as I said,
Speaker 5: wats the next episode as well? That's really good?
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, folks, we've been watching it tonight. We got

Speaker 4: It's in a description of this podcast. The original aireday
Speaker 4: of Homer and Lisa Exchange cross Words was November sixteenth,
Speaker 4: two thousand and eight. It was production code kab F
Speaker 4: one nine, written by Tim Long and rereaded by Nancy Cruz.
Speaker 4: Apparently featured music is word up by Cameo. You bet yeah?
Speaker 5: Love that song? I didn't which one was it? Excuse me?
Speaker 5: Are you unfamiliar with word up?
Speaker 4: I'm unfamiliar with Cameo?
Speaker 5: Word up? Everybody say when you hear the call, you've
Speaker 5: got to get it underwe It's the funkiest thing ever.
Speaker 4: I've definitely heard it in the episode. I've probably really
Speaker 4: enjoyed it. But if you had it said to me
Speaker 4: ten minutes ago, what is word up by Cameo? I
Speaker 4: couldn't have told you what? Well, that's the thing because
Speaker 4: Cameo is probably best never word up. Oh okay, I
Speaker 4: don't think they're never much else.
Speaker 5: Yes, people who have seen the video to word may
Speaker 5: know Cameo because of the insane red cod piece worn
Speaker 5: by the lead singer.
Speaker 4: I have read a really interesting kid bit. Here's page
Speaker 4: that Regal merv Regal created all the crossword puzzles that
Speaker 4: appear in this episode, and as a promotion for the episode,
Speaker 4: a special Simpsons related message dedicated to this episode that
Speaker 4: appeared in The New York Times Sunday Crossword on November sixteen,
Speaker 4: two thousand and eight. That's a really fun unique cross brand.
Speaker 5: It is like that.
Speaker 4: I like original things like that.
Speaker 5: You're a fan of cross brand.
Speaker 4: I'm buying an ad and putting in the paper. It's no,
Speaker 4: we're going to integrate this and collaborate integration.
Speaker 5: It's a very good thing. The New York Times gets
Speaker 5: a bit of a shout out and a big up
Speaker 5: in this episode. It does seem to be regarded as
Speaker 5: the gold standard of crosswords, like it'll be sort of
Speaker 5: name checked in popular cultures, like, you know, it's really great.
Speaker 5: You know, if we'd wake up when we do The
Speaker 5: New York times crossword puzzle together with the upper then
Speaker 5: playing in the background. That's correct, And then of course
Speaker 5: you're partner dies.
Speaker 4: Yes, and you get a dog and some weak kidknocks
Speaker 4: and your.
Speaker 5: Dog and your house floats balloons And do people really
Speaker 5: remember what I mean? Of course we remember what happens
Speaker 5: in UP, as we just sort of talked about it.
Speaker 5: But I mean, I think people when when they talk
Speaker 5: about UP, they're generally talking about the.
Speaker 4: First ten Well, that's the most memorable bit. But no,
Speaker 4: my kids love UP, love it. Yeah, it's really it's
Speaker 4: a really good movie, is very good. Yeah, picture, they're
Speaker 4: doing some good stuff there. Wow, that the final shot
Speaker 4: with the house on the cliff face, and you're like, oh, god, Wally,
Speaker 4: that's a good Wally's fantastic. But also a film that
Speaker 4: I when I first saw Wally, I went, yeah, good luck,
Speaker 4: kids are going to watch this ship because the first
Speaker 4: half an hour so dark and gloomy and it's not exciting.
Speaker 5: My kids love it, love it.
Speaker 4: Granted they always skiped to part where I get to
Speaker 4: the Spaceshi where it's bright and shiny, but these on
Speaker 4: the spaceship it's scary because I'm thinking this is probably
Speaker 4: we're heading, We're we're there heading.
Speaker 5: We're very close. I'm as guilty as the next person,
Speaker 5: but hey, we came back. Here was a reference to
Speaker 5: the eruption Vesuvius. Vesuvius apologized. Guys.
Speaker 4: The family sits on a bench dressed in togas and
Speaker 4: it's covered in volcanic ash.
Speaker 5: All right, sorry, I got to do some sound checking,
Speaker 5: just real quick, man, Vesuvius, just a little quick historical check.
Speaker 5: Is the one that destroyed the city of Pompeii. Okay,
Speaker 5: what a bitch.
Speaker 4: One angry volcan So the episode kicks off with Barton
Speaker 4: Lisa running their lemonade stand and they.
Speaker 5: He's doing his spiels, which sunshine in your mouth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I aren't getting any customers, so they do the
Speaker 4: whole let's put some money in the jars. It looks
Speaker 4: like people actually buying lemonade from us. All of a sudden,
Speaker 4: everyone comes clearly just wants some Homer asked to put
Speaker 4: someone his tab, But no, not happening at all. Have
Speaker 4: fun with your lemonade, babies. It's just yet very childish
Speaker 4: and nothing. Home is off to a bad start this Yeah,
Speaker 4: he makes up for it by the end. I don't
Speaker 4: mind it, so the car won't start, so he takes
Speaker 4: less his bike and it gets stuck on his backside.
Speaker 4: And by this point I went, oh, no, this ain't
Speaker 4: looking good at all. So they're at mos And this
Speaker 4: was my biggest grit with the episode. Right, Call me crazy,
Speaker 4: call me a traditionalist. Right, I love my Simpsons, and
Speaker 4: I feel like over the thirty years've been watching the show,
Speaker 4: thirty plus years watching the show, I've created emotional connections
Speaker 4: to the characters and to the story, especially once from
Speaker 4: the Golden era. Right, So, missus Kay and Skinner got
Speaker 4: together in grade school Confidential back in like season eight, Right,
Speaker 4: And granted their relationship has been on the rocks here
Speaker 4: and there from time to time. He hasn't been the
Speaker 4: best boyfriend, blah blah blah. She left him for a
Speaker 4: comic book guy for a while and it was just
Speaker 4: it was bizarre, Right, didn't like that. But for the
Speaker 4: relationship that does end so hazard here with no emotion involved,
Speaker 4: I just left me going, you know what, fifteen years ago,
Speaker 4: you would have treated this with real substance. It would
Speaker 4: have been this would have been an episode. Now it's
Speaker 4: just a passing gay set up. The opening act.
Speaker 5: It does feel like there's no real sticking to it.
Speaker 5: There's no stickiness.
Speaker 4: No, we've invested so long in this relationship, whether it
Speaker 4: be on the rocks or whether it's thriving. So many
Speaker 4: episodes have had them that we've invested so long, ten
Speaker 4: plus years that they've been together, right, and now it's
Speaker 4: just I have we're not together and skinner with like
Speaker 4: one line from Homer is actually know what my life
Speaker 4: is good without libsus k And I'm going, what do
Speaker 4: you mean you should what?
Speaker 5: But I get the feeling like maybe three episodes from now,
Speaker 5: you'd go they'd be together again without it explaining it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: without even explaining it. It didn't feel like this was
Speaker 5: done as a plot point. It just felt like this
Speaker 5: was done as a way to get the inciting incident rolling.
Speaker 4: So I don't know how you how you do that?
Speaker 4: Though you're gonna at least explain see you can do
Speaker 4: it obviously because they don't give a shit, But me
Speaker 4: as a fan, I'm going, no, No, you can't just
Speaker 4: break up two characters who have been together for ten
Speaker 4: plus seasons.
Speaker 5: No, you need more peripheral characters who were not that
Speaker 5: invested in.
Speaker 4: Look at Luanne and Kirk, right, two characters who we
Speaker 4: didn't really know much about up to that was season
Speaker 4: eight as well. I think Millhouse Divided, right, Look how
Speaker 4: much emotional punch that episode had. They split up two characters,
Speaker 4: and they kept them split up. They changed the character
Speaker 4: of Kirk, made him a more popular character, and not
Speaker 4: so much. I'm just thinking, but that's the equivalent of
Speaker 4: a Golden era relationship breakup compared to Season twenty breakup,
Speaker 4: where it's literally just a gag to set up the
Speaker 4: opening story.
Speaker 5: I get you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, just let me just feeling you just don't
Speaker 4: really do you writers have emotional investment in these characters anymore?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Or are you just killing as we said slotting?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, these characters work in this situation without thought
Speaker 5: of the history that we have with them or the
Speaker 5: possibilities of them together moving forward.
Speaker 4: Why did it have to be missus Kayane Skinner? Why
Speaker 4: would missus Kayane Skinner ad Moose in the first place?
Speaker 5: Breaking up? No? Ide? Oh? Yeah? Why were they? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean I hardly strike me as the type who
Speaker 5: would go to that kindry. It just doesn't make it. It's
Speaker 5: just convenience. Yeah, there are other certainly other characters and
Speaker 5: other couples that would be more appropriate in that setting
Speaker 5: and more appropriate to break up, don't Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be characters we at least know,
Speaker 4: and maybe they no other relationships in this show anymore.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: This is whatever. Think of a new way to have
Speaker 4: become a breakup guy. Just just be Lenny in the Wife.
Speaker 4: That's all I had to be. She walks in and
Speaker 4: break him up anyway. So missus Kay has asked one
Speaker 4: of the guys because Skinner thinks she's proposing. She walks
Speaker 4: over to the barn says, can one of you guys
Speaker 4: break up with my boyfriend for me?
Speaker 5: I'll buy you a beer? So home.
Speaker 4: It goes and doesn't realize it. He's good at it.
Speaker 1: Edna wants to break up.
Speaker 6: She wants to break up Yeah with me? Yeah, look
Speaker 6: at it this way. You're a free man, unlike me.
Speaker 6: You have all your hair, unlike.
Speaker 1: Me, no kids turg you down or a crippling mortgage
Speaker 1: that you refinanced at twenty six percent because a dancing
Speaker 1: internet cowboy told you to. Oh god, I hate my life.
Speaker 4: But again, do we have to have homo? Soay hates
Speaker 4: his life I'll go crippling mortgage. I've got three kids
Speaker 4: who are sucking me dry, sucking all my money away,
Speaker 4: all these things.
Speaker 5: And I'm just going, why, why, Yeah, why are you
Speaker 5: so intent on showing us that life in the Simpsons house,
Speaker 5: particularly for Homa is just a terrible owner of store
Speaker 5: when he doesn't have it. That's bad.
Speaker 4: I mean, Marge should be the one who was upset
Speaker 4: with life because she is living with this buffoon. For
Speaker 4: him to be the one who's constantly the one that's
Speaker 4: just wrecking shit, spending the family's money, being out man,
Speaker 4: it's been ridiculous. And he goes, oh, I hate my
Speaker 4: life and thinking, ah, it just doesn't work for me.
Speaker 4: It just annoys me. But anyway, so he breaks up
Speaker 4: with I guess Skinner to break up with missus Kay
Speaker 4: makes it much more.
Speaker 5: Positive for him. It makes him feel good about him.
Speaker 4: It's like a half day or whatever. Then Lenny says, well,
Speaker 4: can you dump Doreen for me? When I've met Doreen.
Speaker 4: We're about to meet her, but mostly she's chipped on everyone,
Speaker 4: cheated on him with everybody except for Mo, even though
Speaker 4: he's giving her plenty of gifts. And then she walks
Speaker 4: in and harmsus. Lenny's dead. She goes, what do you
Speaker 4: mean how I spoke with him? When now the next
Speaker 4: piece of news won't be so bad?
Speaker 5: No, Joe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the kids are now still doing their lemonade stand,
Speaker 4: Maggie's making some more in the pool, Maggi's chiming in
Speaker 4: as well, and it turns out they've got no vendor's license,
Speaker 4: so the blue head lawyer shuts them down. They smash
Speaker 4: up the stand and then they ask for some lemonade.
Speaker 4: A weird way too. I guess they had to get
Speaker 4: her to go to the It's just a weird, a
Speaker 4: really odd setup for the crosswords for Lisa to find
Speaker 4: someone doing a crossword, or she couldn't just find Grampa
Speaker 4: doing a crossword. You know said line about oh this
Speaker 4: feels like so and so with the extra steps. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you've added one or two more steps than you actually
Speaker 4: need it here, because the thing is they go there
Speaker 4: to get the license so they can open up the
Speaker 4: lemonade stand again. So she gets the license. So why
Speaker 4: is by not doing the lemonade stand anymore?
Speaker 5: What was the point that does me?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 5: I didn't write this.
Speaker 4: So we're now at the Bureau of Licenses and Permits
Speaker 4: and hibit he was halfway through an operation when he's
Speaker 4: license expired. The wise guys there, I mean, it's the
Speaker 4: wisest guy. He's doing his crossword. And I really liked
Speaker 4: Lindsay Nagel here saying a lett the bananas in my car.
Speaker 4: I'm like, that is actually terrifying. You know, when you
Speaker 4: when I'm planning a trip, the supermarket is part of
Speaker 4: my trip, I go, I need to plan my trip
Speaker 4: so the food's not in the boot for too long.
Speaker 5: That's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's when you know you're in a dog like,
Speaker 4: all right, I've got chicken, breast and cheese.
Speaker 5: I've got yoga. Yoga's got to be at the because well,
Speaker 5: I'm times are tough. People cross the living through the roof.
Speaker 5: I hate my life for the most part. M But
Speaker 5: you'll go to various supermarkets because it's like, oh that
Speaker 5: someone's always got it cheaper. So yeah, I've got my
Speaker 5: little triangle of like, first off, Woolies at the strand
Speaker 5: weldy Cole's across the road.
Speaker 4: So when they're across the road is okay. But when
Speaker 4: you start driving various locations, you realize the money I'm
Speaker 4: spending on fuel, not just bought it at the first place.
Speaker 5: We're in Geelong. Nothing's that far from anything else.
Speaker 4: But see, Coals are the only place that do the
Speaker 4: one killer block of light cheese. Will Worst don't do it.
Speaker 4: So if we want cheese, we shop at Coals, but
Speaker 4: then Coals, but Willworst do better. Their bakery does better.
Speaker 4: Bread rolls. It's like, h we need cheese and bread rolls?
Speaker 5: What do I do? You go to boath Are we
Speaker 5: especially on hot days? Are we realizing, oh, this is
Speaker 5: the place you got the deer ah Ben and Jerry's
Speaker 5: Banoffi pie, ice creamers, loving and Jerry's. I really do it.
Speaker 5: And sometimes it's half price. It's not bad. That's not bad.
Speaker 5: You pick that up, and then I gotta be really
Speaker 5: quick with these other ones because that's sitting in the back.
Speaker 4: I just love how to normalize the half priced things.
Speaker 5: I reckon. It was two years ago.
Speaker 4: I was ranting about it like it's coming people, it's
Speaker 4: fucking gummt.
Speaker 5: I know you're looking at me like I'm an absolute sucker.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I do the same thing the winds
Speaker 5: working in.
Speaker 4: I now shop based on what's half priced at the
Speaker 4: supermarket that week. I saw this coming, it fucking came,
Speaker 4: and I'm also sucking on falling for it because what
Speaker 4: I was I supposed to do well should at full price.
Speaker 5: No, the bottom line is already quite healthy.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, not good at all. But Lisa offers help
Speaker 4: to get the crossword done in time, so it's by
Speaker 4: five o'clock so they can all get their licenses. She does,
Speaker 4: And what's a fall little word for hero?
Speaker 5: Hero?
Speaker 4: I meant, Lisa, Hello, Homer, it's your old roommate, Grady,
Speaker 4: the gey guy.
Speaker 5: That's not all I am, Well, it's a lot of
Speaker 5: what I am. AnyWho I heard how good you are
Speaker 5: at breaking up couples. I need your help to break
Speaker 5: up with Julio because I met someone new, someone much
Speaker 5: more cool and refreshing.
Speaker 1: Got it, Merge. I'm going to a hardcore gay club
Speaker 1: and I won't be home till three in the morning.
Speaker 2: You have fun.
Speaker 4: I feel like this line here pretty much sums up
Speaker 4: Season twenty Simpsons, where Homodist says to Marge, I'm going
Speaker 4: to a hard old gay club. I'll be back to
Speaker 4: three am. Lisa's like no.
Speaker 5: Worries, like no worries, I quite like marche have fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh she does have fun tough she okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: this is a joke there, but just feels so whatever.
Speaker 4: One thing I did like, though, is that he's still
Speaker 4: doing this job from his actual job, so at least
Speaker 4: Tim Long has made an effort to As we mentioned earlier,
Speaker 4: the money he used isn't Lisa's college fund, it's money
Speaker 4: he earned. He's doing this job as the second job
Speaker 4: from his actual.
Speaker 5: Job from his side Hustle.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he signed Hustle. So Bart then finds Lisa doing
Speaker 4: crosswords at night. She's going crazy and he's humping her
Speaker 4: with avan, realizing because everybody he says a word, she says, oh,
Speaker 4: that's that's the word for this, that's the word for that.
Speaker 5: Yes. Indeed, there is even a shout out to the
Speaker 5: eighties teen flick Losing It an early role for Tom Cruise.
Speaker 5: Is it really? Then?
Speaker 4: Homer is now dancing with Julio. Meanwhile, it's the middle
Speaker 4: of the night at the hardcore gay club, and he says,
Speaker 4: you've made the next five minutes without love much more bearable,
Speaker 4: and was going.
Speaker 5: Are we doing here? You guys are promiscuous?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the joke, and then he get says anyone
Speaker 4: else who want to have a new partner or bring
Speaker 4: up with them, put the hand up and then just
Speaker 4: take two steps at the left.
Speaker 5: Hey, there, you're all happy. I'm going.
Speaker 4: Lisa tells Marge that she's now a cruciverbalist. What do
Speaker 4: you think of the term CRUs verbalist? It isn't actual term.
Speaker 5: Let's have a lot I believe it is. Is it? Really?
Speaker 5: It's a little much for mine? Is it? Say? Crossword
Speaker 5: enthusiast or creator?
Speaker 4: Crucifer erblist a person who enjoys or skill of solving
Speaker 4: cross words. I mean, I guess they're gonna have a name,
Speaker 4: don't they, chrusciferbalist.
Speaker 5: Well, there are certain big words for certainly, like I'm
Speaker 5: like for fishermen, it's like pisca episcatorian or something, or
Speaker 5: just just say you like to fish, just you have
Speaker 5: to do crosswords. I like crosswords.
Speaker 4: But the thing is, though, when it's like guest Book
Speaker 4: of World Records, who is the best person at doing
Speaker 4: crosswords or who's the best crucis verbalist, I'd much rather
Speaker 4: be the best crucifer erbalist.
Speaker 5: That's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, so I liked marche here another religion. Oh, Lisa,
Speaker 4: you just know you're gonna drop all these once you
Speaker 4: meet a Jewish guy in college. So then Grandpa says
Speaker 4: that he also does crosswords as well, and we get
Speaker 4: the Will Shorts reference.
Speaker 5: Here, which was nice. I also liked his use of
Speaker 5: the term alphabet hotel. Yeah, cross words. I thought that
Speaker 5: was very sweet and cute.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Will Short's two things I'm no longer able
Speaker 4: to change by myself. And I thought cruel but funny
Speaker 4: coming for all this. We're now on the bus school bus.
Speaker 4: Lisa is looking at the window and she's just seeing
Speaker 4: various signs and turns them into crosswords. I'll get the
Speaker 4: scrabble vibes here, though.
Speaker 5: I get where you're coming from.
Speaker 4: I love scrabble. It takes me back to going to
Speaker 4: my name's place. She loved playing scrabble, Marlene, And yeah,
Speaker 4: I always when I was older, I was like.
Speaker 5: I'm going to be good at scrabble. Who play scrabble? Anyoney?
Speaker 5: Doesn't w scrabble anymore? I think they still don't. I
Speaker 5: think there's probably a big online scrabble contingent.
Speaker 4: I feel like I could buy a board game of
Speaker 4: Scrabble and Nicola would be over the moon. I feel
Speaker 4: like it's I feel it'd be something like we're jammed too,
Speaker 4: Like let's just let's put some jazz on and play
Speaker 4: some scrabble.
Speaker 5: Dan, maybe you should do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe I will.
Speaker 5: Is there themed scrabble? Is there Simpson Scrabble?
Speaker 6: Do I know?
Speaker 5: I mean I imagine that might. I don't have it's themed.
Speaker 5: It'd probably be branded Simpson Scrabble. Yeah.
Speaker 4: There it is twenty five dollars on eBay. Where does
Speaker 4: it look though, let's have a look Simpson Scrabble.
Speaker 5: So it's see imagine it's a regular scrabble board and
Speaker 5: tiles with the occasional sort of homerhead, just like a
Speaker 5: deck of cards. Yeah, but se Monopoly is very much
Speaker 5: it gets themed. Yeah, the pieces and whatnot. There's there's
Speaker 5: a you know, a Geelong Monopoly, or there's a Simpsons Monopoly,
Speaker 5: or there's Will Too Monopoly or something like that.
Speaker 4: So it's the normal board, but it has the Simpsons
Speaker 4: faces underneath it.
Speaker 5: So you put it over the top.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's it looks somewhat distracting. Yes, So the
Speaker 4: pieces are also yellow with red writing as supposed to
Speaker 4: white and black.
Speaker 5: I feel like the white blacks.
Speaker 4: Get with a lot of double a double side of board,
Speaker 4: so you can do a really fucking confusing one, or
Speaker 4: you just do the standard board which has the Simpsons.
Speaker 4: Yeah it's not too bad, but yeah, I would much
Speaker 4: prefer just the standard scrabble.
Speaker 5: It's like with chess sets. I don't like a.
Speaker 4: Really ornate Simpsons grabble Simpsons chess, no I would.
Speaker 5: I would not be a fan. No, no, no, just
Speaker 5: give me regular ass chess pieces.
Speaker 4: People always say I've got the Simpsons Chess set if
Speaker 4: you want it, and I've just never bothered to get it.
Speaker 5: I don't want it. It came out in nineteen ninety
Speaker 5: one and it looks awesome, but it's ten bucks to
Speaker 5: ten dollars delivery, like and subscribe people, so ten I
Speaker 5: can get here. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Fun, fact not that fun. I've ever played a game
Speaker 4: of chess in my life. I don't know how to
Speaker 4: play it.
Speaker 5: Can you teach me? I would, except I don't really know.
Speaker 5: It's one of those ones that just doesn't take for
Speaker 5: me every I don't know, five or ten years or so.
Speaker 5: I mean, like it would be good to know it's chess,
Speaker 5: chess people strikeing is really interesting, but I just don't
Speaker 5: have that kind of brain.
Speaker 4: See this person, he's selling it for ten dollars on eBay. Right,
Speaker 4: that's what I thought. And I clicked onto the listing
Speaker 4: and you click into it and it's choose your piece
Speaker 4: for ten dollars.
Speaker 5: I don't think that's how you eBay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's vintage. It says choose your own figure
Speaker 4: figure in the title. I didn't read it.
Speaker 5: But then if I was smart, twenty.
Speaker 4: Four people via this in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: People love their Simpson's chess sets. Wow, this one's trending
Speaker 4: twenty one. I've already sold shit. Maybe you should get on it.
Speaker 4: I mean they look horrific. Beau, there's nine ninety one.
Speaker 4: But anyway, at Simpsons Chess.
Speaker 5: If I was smarter and I'm more motivated, yeah, my
Speaker 5: teacher how to play chess.
Speaker 4: I'm going to be doing a themed episode at some
Speaker 4: point in the future on Simpsons games surranging from the
Speaker 4: nineties all the way through to the two thousands to now,
Speaker 4: whether it be board games, video games. Because I was
Speaker 4: playing Hit and Run with Ali yesterday and I went,
Speaker 4: you know what, there's so many Simpsons games that I
Speaker 4: haven't played. I want to do a bit of a
Speaker 4: deep dive so I get my hands on them and
Speaker 4: play them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have fun with that. I will not be here.
Speaker 4: But as we're saying, though, Lisa's looking at the window
Speaker 4: and it looks very scrubb less. But it's crosswords that
Speaker 4: the sciences turned them into crossword puzzles. And then we'll
Speaker 4: just get Otto here. Use this gag all the time.
Speaker 4: Who's javing the bears?
Speaker 5: Who bust the bust? You're on?
Speaker 4: So now Homer is at work and he's taking calls.
Speaker 5: You just can't sanction asff.
Speaker 4: Oh that's ridiculous. Well, they just got no gags from anymore.
Speaker 4: He's one of those characters I think. I feel like,
Speaker 4: if you're going to kill the character, you could have
Speaker 4: killed off Otto and it would have had an emotional
Speaker 4: impact because he's always he's been there from the start.
Speaker 4: But he's not really going to be missed. Just getting
Speaker 4: a new bus driver, yeah pretty much. You know he's got,
Speaker 4: he's got, there's nothing to it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the tank has kind of run dry when it's the.
Speaker 4: Stone of metal head, that's it. Yeah, Yeah, you could
Speaker 4: have killed him off. You probably still do it now.
Speaker 4: People still probably would give a ship. Someone dies and
Speaker 4: you go, oh share, Yeah, I mean he's not he's
Speaker 4: in consequential, but had yeah, yeah, and you get a
Speaker 4: new bus driver Rippotto, we'll miss you not at.
Speaker 5: All of a sudden. Auto figurines on eBay just skyrocket, Well,
Speaker 5: yeah that's up. Let's yeah, let's yes, play kill this
Speaker 5: person please, Matt Salomon, Matt, I got a great deal
Speaker 5: for it. We have all the auto figurines. And then
Speaker 5: you yeah, you planned an idea in someone's head. It's
Speaker 5: like inception.
Speaker 4: Yes, but Homer is sorry at work and he's taking
Speaker 4: the calls and he's discussing the tender dump system and
Speaker 4: he'll be there in thirty minutes or your breakup is
Speaker 4: free and me get the montage for him breaking up.
Speaker 5: Very relationship.
Speaker 4: So Miss Hoover one.
Speaker 5: Was actually pretty funny with the whole jumbo tron thing. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I find jumbo tron sort of displays. I don't know,
Speaker 5: I'm not for them.
Speaker 4: No, they're very convenient when you're at the game and
Speaker 4: you can't make out what's happened and they show it
Speaker 4: on the jumbo trunk.
Speaker 5: Oh No, I'm all for that. I'm more of the
Speaker 5: JumboTron being used as a like kiss camp or whatever,
Speaker 5: but not yet, not as I don't like people who
Speaker 5: are like, look up there the jumbo drones, as can
Speaker 5: you to marry me? Oh yeah, don't do it a sports.
Speaker 4: Game because invariably you're gonna have someone like I don't

Speaker 4: of a rough patch. She's very much you know, you're
Speaker 4: going through a rough patch, you work through it, you
Speaker 4: work through it, and if it's not you can't work
Speaker 4: through it. I guess March doesn't. She just sticks with
Speaker 4: it and she but she likes it or not. Yes,
Speaker 4: I like to think that if Marge never had the kids,
Speaker 4: she would have got out of there. Yeah, she was,
Speaker 4: She's there for the kids. But she mentions what happens
Speaker 4: if someone you know, but my doubts with you or whatnot.
Speaker 4: And he just sort of sits there for a while,
Speaker 4: ponders about it. Time passes, and then he has dreams
Speaker 4: of the relationship spirits. I'm a little put off by that.
Speaker 4: These are the babiesies people to have. And I was like,
Speaker 4: oh shit, it's like a spirit abortions, Like, oh shit.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: And then I like the anti the games of scrabble.
Speaker 4: But she says, he says that he's getting out now.

Speaker 4: However, sleeps Sam again and he's snoring when at the
Speaker 4: Crosswords tournament, it was give me similar vibes to when
Speaker 4: we had the Boggle tournament with Peggy Hill. That's correct,
Speaker 4: speaking of the Hill, Yeah, great episode.
Speaker 5: That was do you remember which a hotel that was
Speaker 5: being held out. No, what was it? It was a
Speaker 5: Springfield highth It got you trivia out, you happy. I
Speaker 5: wanted to cross them all off the list, and there
Speaker 5: was one that was still glaring out of me. I'm like,
Speaker 5: how can I fold this in elegantly, subtly without dando knowing?
Speaker 5: I knew, but and I couldn't think of anything, so
Speaker 5: I just said it. It was good. Yeah, I liked it.
Speaker 5: It was all right. That wasn't mad. It wasn't mad.
Speaker 5: So tomorrow, on the sign of what did you see
Speaker 5: what I said to today? The crossword tournament. Tomorrow, go
Speaker 5: ahead and get some free Yeah, yeah, hey, what's going on?
Speaker 1: It's kind of a secret, so shut the door. Most
Speaker 1: of the way, we found a way to make this
Speaker 1: tournament interesting. We bet on the matches really well. I
Speaker 1: did bring this envelope full of money, and these days,
Speaker 1: betting in a bar is safer than any stock bind
Speaker 1: of real est state investment.
Speaker 5: Agreed, So we're gonna better.
Speaker 1: I want you to put it all on my little girl,
Speaker 1: and poorly with the Asian kid. He has that name,
Speaker 1: you know what is it?
Speaker 5: I don't know. He's not my kid.
Speaker 4: Then we got the montage of her winning. She's doing
Speaker 4: really well.
Speaker 5: I wish I understood gambling a bit better. I don't
Speaker 5: know chess and I don't know how to gamble. I mean,
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not way what do you mean do
Speaker 5: like the parlay thing? I don't know what that means.
Speaker 4: Neither do I know. My friends are all about it,
Speaker 4: but they do. They got ah they are multi and
Speaker 4: things like that, got the multi old sports. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: just it's really sad how we say thank God that
Speaker 4: we don't have alcohol over foot anymore. No, but just
Speaker 4: gamble your money away. Yeah, you're just giving money away.
Speaker 5: I had to mean, I had to say it, but
Speaker 5: I actually listened to other podcasts and occasionally.
Speaker 4: That you reminded me of its newest times.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, I'm just keep my options open. Good luck.
Speaker 5: Do you need someone who was a very popular member
Speaker 5: of the four figure.
Speaker 4: Dia Dannel No, the other one, mitch.
Speaker 5: On one that I enjoyed very much. They always have
Speaker 5: sports bed ads beforehand.
Speaker 4: You mentions before and you just get really angry about it.
Speaker 5: I'm like, can't we just get to talking about TV?
Speaker 5: That's why I'm here.
Speaker 4: But then become a patron of the show, and you
Speaker 4: have to listen to the ads you get to add.
Speaker 5: Free and early. I'm assuming I suppose I could do.
Speaker 5: I suppose I should walk it like I talk about
Speaker 5: I just it's all very like, oh, you should have
Speaker 5: done the same game multi. It's like I don't even
Speaker 5: know what that is. Yeah, I just don't know this term.
Speaker 4: I get the reviews sometimes and it's like, I wish
Speaker 4: there wasn't so many ads in this show, and it's like,
Speaker 4: maybe should fucking support them?
Speaker 5: Then, okay, you know, just telling me this, you're telling everybody.
Speaker 4: I say, I'm various when I'm looking at reviews of
Speaker 4: other shows and whatnot, and like, I'm thinking, through, what
Speaker 4: do people say about this?
Speaker 5: And he goes, used to be good.
Speaker 4: Now they've got ads, I'm thinking, are they giveing any
Speaker 4: hours of.
Speaker 5: Free entertainment here? Also? Know, ever, ads keep the wheels
Speaker 5: of commerce turning, folks. Yeah, we had a pretty good system.
Speaker 5: That's the thing.
Speaker 4: People are so used to not seeing ads now because
Speaker 4: they watch streaming services and then when they get as
Speaker 4: they go what is this.
Speaker 5: And that, and then streaming services like, oh, well, we
Speaker 5: can't sustain these prices. Anymore, pay more for no ads
Speaker 5: or keep this this I mean not in the streaming service,
Speaker 5: but yeah in Australia. In the States you call it
Speaker 5: cable TV. Here we call it pay TV. It's like,
Speaker 5: I'm paying for this TV and I'm still got ads.
Speaker 5: Ads were used to head, that's our TV pay for itself. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so wait a minute, I'm paying and I'm also having
Speaker 5: to watch ads. I don't know how this works. And
Speaker 5: now they're going to start doing it on Netflix and
Speaker 5: will they already do it on Amazon Prime bees US.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got enough money. At least they're only advertising
Speaker 4: their own ship.
Speaker 5: That's true. Yeah, but you just pitched me at home waving.
Speaker 4: As I was saying to somebody the other day, I
Speaker 4: think it's just there's now been enough time transpired with
Speaker 4: streaming services where there is a generation who aren't used
Speaker 4: to having to watch ads for shows. They're just so
Speaker 4: used to Netflix is just there, parents are paying for
Speaker 4: the Netflix has always just been there, Stands been there
Speaker 4: or whatever, Amazon Hulu and there's no ads or the
Speaker 4: very little if adult ads on there. They're so used
Speaker 4: to watching their favorite shows without ads, and the concept
Speaker 4: of having to watch ads infuriates them. But usually the
Speaker 4: ads are there because you're not paying for it, tru.
Speaker 4: I mean you're saying Fox Time want it. That's a
Speaker 4: bit different. But I'll watch Have You Been Paying Attention?
Speaker 4: We watch it on ten play, and you're gonna watch
Speaker 4: the ads. And I says to Nicola, Well, this show
Speaker 4: has to survive somehow, of course, Like if we don't
Speaker 4: watch these ads, they won't keep funding this show.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, there, Rea is weird. Newspapers were so long,
Speaker 5: you know, newspapers weren't making money from here's twenty cents.
Speaker 5: Give me my copy of the Herald's out. No, the
Speaker 5: AD's in it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't draper the real estate listening all back down?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Advertising, Yeah, it makes the world go around, baby, Because
Speaker 4: we started watching Have You Been Paying Attention? On Plagues?
Speaker 4: Because there's no ads. I went to Nicola.
Speaker 5: I feel like I wanted to.
Speaker 4: Make my civil duty to watch it on template with
Speaker 4: the ads because I want them to know that people
Speaker 4: are watching this show cause it's my favorite fucking show. Absolutely,
Speaker 4: I'll sit here and let the ads play because I
Speaker 4: want them to know that I am watching this shit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, vote with your dollar or your attention, which is
Speaker 5: also a dollar.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, said Alan.
Speaker 5: We now return you to Home release or exchange crosswords
Speaker 5: already in progress.
Speaker 4: We get the montage of Lisa winning and she thinks
Speaker 4: she can actually win this one, and it gets Loney,
Speaker 4: when you win, I win, I'll explain it on your deathbed.
Speaker 4: What does that mean?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: When you win, I win, I'll explain it on your deathbed,
Speaker 4: says to Lisa. There I thought I'm lost there. Maybe
Speaker 4: I'm misunderstanding something I don't know.
Speaker 5: But no, I don't get it either.
Speaker 4: But she says that she always sabotaged, sabotages her happiness
Speaker 4: when she thinks shes going to succeed. And I was like,
Speaker 4: you know what, I think I've related to Lisa anymore
Speaker 4: than this moment. Just when you think you're about to
Speaker 4: succeed in something, you're sabotaged yourself because you're you're afraid
Speaker 4: to succeed.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Oh no, I've been self sabotaged. I've been
Speaker 5: self sabotaged. Maybe it's just why do we do it?
Speaker 5: Why do we do it?

Speaker 5: little Duffel bag and go, yeah, I think this is
Speaker 5: running thing. I think that's right. Lose looking at it
Speaker 5: and go, that's not nearly going to be big enough.
Speaker 5: And the dudes are looking at you. There's plenty. There's
Speaker 5: so much wrong because.

Speaker 4: and might wear that. I'm like, Nicola, just pick something
Speaker 4: one doesn't want to be, you know, gender stereotyping or
Speaker 4: anything like that. But yeah, dudes tend to pack light.
Speaker 5: I think most guys do. Yeah. Yeah, because I've just
Speaker 5: and we rarely regret it. We regret that we haven't
Speaker 5: brought the phone charge or something. Mate. Yeah, It's not
Speaker 5: something like oh I wish I brought this is like,
Speaker 5: oh I forgot that.
Speaker 4: I said to Nicola. And you know what if we guess.
Speaker 4: If we guess and I haven't got a shirt that
Speaker 4: I want to wear, I'll just fucking buy one.
Speaker 5: And buy any shirt.
Speaker 4: It's so hard.
Speaker 5: It's not that difficult. I need space for those blue rays. Baby.

Speaker 4: family coming over here. We're going now, I'm like, all right,

Speaker 4: back free?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Oh god. The first the first time I went

Speaker 4: Oh yeah, back when that was awesome.
Speaker 5: And and also this was when you were, yeah, you
Speaker 5: wanted to get I mean I think, yeah, I think
Speaker 5: I actually did buy like a couple of big ass
Speaker 5: box sets of CDs. It's like, yeah, I could probably

Speaker 4: So she she's got up against Gill in the Grand Final.
Speaker 4: Now I did notice that Sunderland was in the background
Speaker 4: on the leader but and I thought.
Speaker 5: Oh, good for Gilly.
Speaker 4: He's getting up there, and I went, oh, she's actually
Speaker 4: going against Gil. So he mentions here that my wife
Speaker 4: Shirley passed away a couple of years ago. Has she
Speaker 4: actually passed away? Didn't actually clarify that no one knows anything,
Speaker 4: because didn't he want Shirley to take him back in
Speaker 4: like last time we saw him or something that's anyway
Speaker 4: with Gil law.
Speaker 5: Let's see, I'll spread some cues around that'll get my
Speaker 5: brain going.
Speaker 1: Now I dropped my glasses.
Speaker 5: Oh Shirley, baby, I let you down. Hey, there are
Speaker 5: no lenses in these glasses.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 4: That's Enrico Fermi.

Speaker 5: the boggle thing, right, a good heel in a sports movie.
Speaker 5: And here Gil being the heel in a sports themed
Speaker 5: episode of The Sins. I could be all for that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you'll be looking forward to having Gilmore too coming soon,
Speaker 5: because should mcgevan's in it.
Speaker 4: The problem is, I don't think I'm going to like it, okay,
Speaker 4: because can you recall when's the last time we did
Speaker 4: a Hey, remember that thing you love when you're a kid.
Speaker 4: We're making a new version of it now being any good?
Speaker 5: I guess top Gun, Maverick maybe, Yeah, okay, I agree
Speaker 5: with that, But there are also many examples of like
Speaker 5: that didn't work. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know, so I didn't have the emotional connection
Speaker 4: to top Gun that like you probably top Gun? Yeah,
Speaker 4: but people did you know what I mean? Maybe because
Speaker 4: you didn't like top Gun you liked Maverick. Maybe that's it.
Speaker 4: That's possible, But I don't know. I just no car Weathers,
Speaker 4: no chub.
Speaker 5: But we like a good heel.
Speaker 4: Oh should we have one of the greatest heels of
Speaker 4: what kind of he? Would you a smarmy heel? What
Speaker 4: would you call him?
Speaker 5: Shit hitting heel? But no, Gil, he gets a rare win.
Speaker 5: But he also, yeah, gets it by means that you
Speaker 5: wouldn't necessarily expect from Gillie. You think he's just kind
Speaker 5: of plodding along and a low blow when the rest
Speaker 5: is not looking. That's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Lisa, obviously Lisa's here which means home. It
Speaker 4: wins lots of money, and Lisa notices all the new
Speaker 4: things at home. It's gotten new shoelacers with metal ends,
Speaker 4: highlights in his hair, a new car, antenna that straightened out,
Speaker 4: and a diamond on top. And he explains, well, this
Speaker 4: is what happened. I used my winnings better against you
Speaker 4: because you said you were gonna lose. You lost like
Speaker 4: you said you were going to, and now I have
Speaker 4: all this extra money. Is Lisa's reaction here. Her reaction
Speaker 4: are going. It's coming to terms of the fact that
Speaker 4: I can't believe he did that, even though it was
Speaker 4: probably the right thing to do. It's anger, but also
Speaker 4: a realization of Look at it from Lisa's point of view,
Speaker 4: it speaks to a great not even a lack of faith.
Speaker 5: I mean, you would expect that your parents would go.
Speaker 5: I know you don't believe in it, but I believe
Speaker 5: that's true. Yeah, And to have that sort of ripped. Oh,
Speaker 5: all my preconceived notions about myself as a elf sabotaging failure, shit,
Speaker 5: they're real, even though the people who are meant to
Speaker 5: build me up are following is following this, Okay, I'm
Speaker 5: on this path. Now I can relate to this. Right.
Speaker 4: So recently Eliots just started playing the Saga mass Assistant, right,
Speaker 4: I said Sega, not Sega, Sega as it's supposed to
Speaker 4: be said. Apparently I've always said Sega my whole life.
Speaker 4: Apparently that's wrong, but it's spelled sea. Yeah, but Sega.
Speaker 4: So the sonic one, right, And he could only you
Speaker 4: could barely even get past the first level. And he
Speaker 4: always says, I can't do it, I can't do it,
Speaker 4: and I just keep saying to him, look, dude, you
Speaker 4: can do it. And if you can't, if you die,
Speaker 4: you just got back to the start, and you practice again,
Speaker 4: practice again.
Speaker 5: You can do this.
Speaker 4: And now he's eventually gets to the second level and
Speaker 4: eventually he got to the third leve and he has
Speaker 4: to take on doctor Robotnik, the villain, and he did
Speaker 4: it by himself. I'll never forget. I had to go
Speaker 4: to the toilet. I was sitting on a tour here. Yes,
Speaker 4: my dad, I didn't die, Yes, And I was like,
Speaker 4: he's so proud of himself, and it was just just
Speaker 4: you just gotta keep trying, mate.
Speaker 5: That's me every morning when I wake up.
Speaker 4: When you actually succesfully take a shit, I didn't I
Speaker 4: didn't die. Four figure discount is brought to you by

Speaker 4: editing at the Oscars, we have the door, Holly, do
Speaker 4: want to come and say hello? Holly has entered the building.
Speaker 4: Come and say hello, Come and then quickly close it.
Speaker 4: Come on, quickly, quick, quick, quick, quick, We're gonna wrap
Speaker 4: this up. His shit is it's Holley.
Speaker 5: Hello, Holly. So hi guy.
Speaker 4: Now you had your tonsils out, didn't you on Friday?
Speaker 4: So yeah, can you say, yeah, yeah, yeah, you've been
Speaker 4: pretty sick, haven't you, incentainly haven't you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You must sit on here all right, now quickly sit there?
Speaker 5: All right, let's be.
Speaker 4: Real quick, okay, because daddy's got a show to do.
Speaker 4: But you tell the good guy what happened to get
Speaker 4: your tonsils out?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, what stickers did you put on your tonsils?
Speaker 5: On your mask? Winnie Winnie the poop? Yeah?
Speaker 4: And tiger too, Yeah, tiger too. You really like that,
Speaker 4: didn't you. She had much better experience with the actual
Speaker 4: going to sleep than alliot did. He wasn't pinned down
Speaker 4: like a psycho. Oh, Jet's coming as well. All right,
Speaker 4: hold start, you might have to let go of you. Okay,
Speaker 4: Well now, Holly, do you want to say hi everyone?
Speaker 5: Before you go?
Speaker 4: Say hi everybody? You actually speak sweetart. They can't hear
Speaker 4: you say hi?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 4: Can you say? Subscribe on Patreon? You're said loudest, they
Speaker 4: can hear you quickly, loudest.
Speaker 5: Care thanks five stars, say five stars? Yeah, good job, sweetie.
Speaker 5: All right, it was one of those high five funker guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh you're so strong.
Speaker 5: They're wrong.
Speaker 4: The hospital must have given you superpowers. Jets come for
Speaker 4: a kiss as well. Oh my goodness, it's all happening.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, say bye bye everybody.
Speaker 5: Everybody wants a piece of guy they see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Well then she Holly's now gone, a
Speaker 4: daughter who somewhat loves her daddy compared to Lisa, who
Speaker 4: no longer loves her Daddy's to the point where she's
Speaker 4: changed her last name, which I thought was pretty extreme
Speaker 4: for some of for an eight year old to do.
Speaker 4: It's one of those examples where you.
Speaker 5: Are but then you know you're dealing a little an eight
Speaker 5: year old who they're not necessarily got the best.
Speaker 4: It just seems emotion insane. This is one of the
Speaker 4: things where your dad's mistreated you for your whole life
Speaker 4: and isn't in your life anymore. You want to change
Speaker 4: your last name, He better against you in a fucking
Speaker 4: crossroad puzzle. That's tournament, you.
Speaker 5: Know what I mean. Just seems like the inciting incident.
Speaker 4: You have go for do this story by all means,
Speaker 4: but the inciting incident just seems This seems like a
Speaker 4: real leap. I was changing my last name to Bovier.
Speaker 5: It strikes me as the kind of dramatic thing that
Speaker 5: a child would do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but how would she even know how to do it?
Speaker 4: Just know she went down to the she went back
Speaker 4: to the licenses offices.
Speaker 5: She must have. Yeah, I don't know if she did.
Speaker 5: I mean I think she was just saying no.
Speaker 4: By principle, just by principle. She's referring to herself as
Speaker 4: but yeah, something she's not legally changed.
Speaker 5: No, she's just crossing it off her textbooks and now
Speaker 5: putting in the new name. Yeah, or saying to call
Speaker 5: me Lisa B. Now as Nelson does.
Speaker 4: So Moe then us or most says to do something
Speaker 4: nice to win her back, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: She might not change her name, but she'll still love
Speaker 4: you and refer to you as her dad. Nobody gives
Speaker 4: better parenting advice than childless trunks. So now Lisa's on
Speaker 4: the couch watching TV, I'm assuming, or she's sitting on
Speaker 4: the couch. She's wearing her Lisa B. T shirt and
Speaker 4: Marsha just doing the New York Times puzzle. They never
Speaker 4: explain whether margin was in on this. That's true, was
Speaker 4: margin on it? I don't think so?
Speaker 5: Oh? Actually no, actually I think have they name checked
Speaker 5: the New York Times crossword puzzle in this episode before,
Speaker 5: so they I.
Speaker 4: Think maybe maybe I'm not too sure. But anyway, just
Speaker 4: the I lost my innocence, medicines died in the founder
Speaker 4: and forty one little boxes blah blah blah, and Marchess,
Speaker 4: I don't think you can do it. I might take
Speaker 4: you a few hours. Forty three minutes later, she said
Speaker 4: she takes a fence to that.
Speaker 5: I get the feeling is March is definitely on this.
Speaker 4: She has to be, said, They don't explain that those
Speaker 4: or I'm saying, yeah, she must be. But then she
Speaker 4: realized this dumb Dad's sorry for his bet and wonders
Speaker 4: if planted it. She goes to ask him, and Will
Speaker 4: Shortz and mill Regal are just hanging out in the
Speaker 4: living room.
Speaker 5: Well, it must have met. I'm kind of touched. Dumb dad,
Speaker 5: sorry for his bed. Nice.
Speaker 1: You didn't get Homer's whole message, Lisa. I didn't take
Speaker 1: a look at the first letters of all the clues.
Speaker 1: Dear Lisa, you make me so happy, really really really happy.
Speaker 1: Sorry he told me I needed one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: four letters. What was my point again? All right? Movie
Speaker 1: or Jimpson? I cherish you.
Speaker 5: Cherish?
Speaker 4: Have you ever watched the little rascals. I know that
Speaker 4: I've never seen it because I never seen it. Okay,
Speaker 4: we won't get to ject there. It's just basically Alfalfu's
Speaker 4: letter to dear Darla, I hate your stinking guts. The
Speaker 4: way he's reading it here, the kids think it's peak comedy. Anyway,
Speaker 4: people who ever saw the movie or have kids who've
Speaker 4: seen the movie will understand exactly what I'm saying here.
Speaker 4: And then it says Bouvier or Simpson, I will always
Speaker 4: choise you when we play the song. It's emotional, everyone's happy.
Speaker 4: A bit of rollercoast of this episode. Really sweet ending.
Speaker 4: I feel like we've said a time and Tom again
Speaker 4: sticked landing of hav An emotional ending. It seems to
Speaker 4: make you think the episode is better than what it was.
Speaker 4: The episode had a really good story here. There was
Speaker 4: just lots of randomness of stroning that just felt unnecessary,
Speaker 4: really cruel or just I don't know, hors saying he
Speaker 4: hated his life and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: You know, it was very up and down when it
Speaker 5: came to Homer certainly. Yeah, there was a lot of
Speaker 5: stuff in there that was the act in particular. It's
Speaker 5: like this guy. Yeah, and even though he did sort
Speaker 5: of pull back at the end, and it was, as
Speaker 5: you said, a happy ending and a satisfying ending. You're right.
Speaker 5: You get those last get that last minute right, or
Speaker 5: even those last thirty seconds or wherever. It's like, walk out
Speaker 5: with a warm, fuzzy feeling. They went back over this.
Speaker 5: It was like this is yeah, you're right, kind of
Speaker 5: all over the shop.
Speaker 4: They are relying a lot more on music to to
Speaker 4: create the emotion, for sure. Yeah, because sure this ending
Speaker 4: was nice and sweet, but if it doesn't have that
Speaker 4: song playing over the end, don't think you're really quite
Speaker 4: not quite hit.
Speaker 5: It's an it's a nice bit of chocolate syrup on
Speaker 5: top of your Sunday.
Speaker 4: They have been doing this forever. When it comes to mind,
Speaker 4: is Saturday's a thunder where Homer and Bart embrace at
Speaker 4: the end and it's I think it's like on the
Speaker 4: jumbo tron and it's playing what song is it playing?
Speaker 4: It is playing a song? Can't of it?
Speaker 5: It's like a song about it, like that's my dad
Speaker 5: or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think my STA's during the episode, but there's
Speaker 4: a song You're just like, ah, it's just so sweet.
Speaker 4: And then Marge and Homer on the bike singing rain
Speaker 4: drops are falling on my head. Like when you're an
Speaker 4: adult watching it, you're just like, shit, we're gonna cry,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So they do do that,
Speaker 4: but I just felt they were lying a lot more
Speaker 4: heavily on commercial songs and not just the music score
Speaker 4: of to tell their story. But all in all, Homer
Speaker 4: on liast to exchange crosswords much better than dangerous curves.
Speaker 5: I give it that.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a very season twenty episode of The Simpsons.
Speaker 4: It is, but it's not something that offended me. It's
Speaker 4: just sort of had his moments had as good, had
Speaker 4: it as pretty good.
Speaker 5: It's okay, and guys writing it's not bad. What do
Speaker 5: we learn Bomber? So what did you learn from this episode? Dando?
Speaker 5: How did that feel? Surprisingly good? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm giving you more control, letting you do things,
Speaker 4: more authority, more incentive, just to just take controls, to
Speaker 4: just grab me and just do it.
Speaker 5: That sounds like an hr I lent. You cannot trust
Speaker 5: Will Gerson, I know, what an absolute hustler. We always
Speaker 5: thought that he was just this hit sandwich, This is
Speaker 5: this weak link, this pushover.
Speaker 4: No I love a good he'll turn love it.

Speaker 5: one of it is the guy Davis new Yon Championship
Speaker 5: is done blind. I did not know who was going
Speaker 5: to get the names. So with the Phil Hawkins mentioned
Speaker 5: at the very start of this, I didn't know that
Speaker 5: he was going to become Philip J. Hawkins again. I
Speaker 5: didn't know who was going to ascend become himself. Opposite
Speaker 5: of a hilt is a baby face? What a comeback?
Speaker 5: What a comeback?
Speaker 4: It's like in nineteen ninety nine where the Vincent Man's
Speaker 4: crew beaten down the good guys and all of a
Speaker 4: sudden clash as Stone call Steve Buston comes out. He's back, baby,
Speaker 4: that's Philip Jay Hawkins comes out and he beats up.

Speaker 4: what happened. As a kid, You watch the show and
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, go, we're Steve, I got no

Speaker 4: did the Hey, I'm still good and they we're all

Speaker 4: it because you've got the parents. You can watch from
Speaker 4: the parents' perspective. So Blue is very much I say
Speaker 4: say this all the time. Blue is for me, the
Speaker 4: modern day version of not quite popularity wise and overall
Speaker 4: quality wise, but it's like a modern day Simpsons. It's
Speaker 4: the show that you can put on that kids absolutely love.
