Speaker 1: Eh two man team will work its way through the
Speaker 1: wilderness to a cabin hidden somewhere on this mountain. Roots
Speaker 1: are treacherous, so use your maps.
Speaker 2: I lost my map.
Speaker 1: You haven't been issued a map yet.
Speaker 3: Four finger Discounted.
Speaker 4: Welcome to four figure discount. With this week, we're going
Speaker 4: to be doing a special classic review. We've gone all
Speaker 4: the way back to season eight. I'm wearing my Pinpal shirt.
Speaker 4: We're not doing Team home Er. We're doing Matin of Madness.
Speaker 4: I'm down, don't and I'm guying, and I'm just wearing
Speaker 4: a shirt. Yeah, a shirt. But this is from our
Speaker 4: friends Uncle Riica. I thought you want It's just a
Speaker 4: lovely It's really nice to wear this jacket, this champa.
Speaker 5: I was here when this, when this arrived, in the unboxing,
Speaker 5: the unboxing, the unwrapping, ripping of the plastic in the paper,
Speaker 5: and I took one look at that and I said
Speaker 5: give it to me, and you said no, no, and
Speaker 5: nine and that, and then I said to uncle, we
Speaker 5: go and send us nine more. Yeah, no, no, no, I
Speaker 5: didn't say that.
Speaker 4: It's just look at the stitching on pin.
Speaker 5: We talked about this and when we unwrapped it, or
Speaker 5: when you unwrapped it, and I said, Wow, that's really nice.
Speaker 5: I think, I said, I think I use the word
Speaker 5: quality maybe five times in a sentence. Yeah you did,
Speaker 5: because I'm inarticulate. And also, this is just quality.
Speaker 4: It is quality.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean, why else would you be wearing it?
Speaker 4: Exactly? If you want to get one, you save ten percent.
Speaker 4: I think they're only about fifty dollars as well, save
Speaker 4: ten percent by using the code four finger. We just
Speaker 4: follow the Lincoln description of this pod.
Speaker 5: Let me do the mass. Oh that means you saved
Speaker 5: five bucks.
Speaker 4: Yes, for coffee. But it's not just off this, it's
Speaker 4: off your entire order, not just Simpsons shit, your entire order.
Speaker 4: But anyway, enough shilling in the madness. Jesus, Wow, you're
Speaker 4: a full salesman. But I was just, you know, because
Speaker 4: it's team Homer. But this is about team work this episode,
Speaker 4: doesn't it.
Speaker 5: You were just a five D chess master. You are
Speaker 5: like the Queen's gambit of five D chess.
Speaker 4: I was like, how can I bring this around? Yeah?
Speaker 4: And you did. You're much like Homer in the parking
Speaker 4: lot in the car park.
Speaker 5: Of this episode. Really, you know you think it's going
Speaker 5: nowhere and it ends up somewhere.
Speaker 4: Now, this episode of the podcast may not have had
Speaker 4: a fantastic opening act, but this episode certainly did. I
Speaker 4: mean it was fine.
Speaker 5: I think it went pretty well.
Speaker 4: It was okay, But the opening I think it's going great.
Speaker 4: What's wrong with the opening act of this episode? I
Speaker 4: think it's just fantastic because it has the fire drill,
Speaker 4: is a lot of fun. You know from the get
Speaker 4: go it's going to be not just a family based story.
Speaker 4: It's going to incorporate a lot of people. I always
Speaker 4: enjoy the more a workplace episode than a family episode. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I always enjoy when you see people two characters
Speaker 4: that you would normally see hanging out in a new scenario.
Speaker 5: It's a gamble, Yes.
Speaker 4: It really is. It's like a first date.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're not sure if you're going to have the chemistry,
Speaker 5: but when you do, you get a mountin a madness. Oh,
Speaker 5: you get a nice relationship like Guy has with Lovely Lawyers.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, it's going to be a unique story
Speaker 4: because it's in a whole new setting, and it's a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of fun because it's got a whole bunch
Speaker 4: of characters as well. So I just thought it didn't
Speaker 4: waste any time straight to the fire driwl, which is
Speaker 4: a bit of fun set up the story, and I
Speaker 4: also like the way that they thought, well, we're gonna
Speaker 4: have to incorporate the family somehow. I haven't been the
Speaker 4: only idiot to bring his family has a reason for
Speaker 4: their family to be involved in. The whole episode felt natural.
Speaker 5: It feels natural some of the stuff with the the kids,
Speaker 5: not so much with with Barton Lisa and their interaction
Speaker 5: with Smithers. That feels I guess natural, organic, kind of funny.
Speaker 4: In some ways, I related so much more to Smithers
Speaker 4: now as a kid. Like watching this, I'll be like, oh,
Speaker 4: Smithers has just been an old grump. Now when you're
Speaker 4: just trying to get the basic things done and the
Speaker 4: kid's asking you, why is that tree greens? Like, shut up, kid,
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, the old two piece feet I've never heard
Speaker 4: that's same on the podcast. If you said the exact
Speaker 4: same thing when I told you you've just forgotten kids, kids,
Speaker 4: I'm like a kid, You're gonna have to beat it
Speaker 4: into me.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we kids are curious, you know, always asking questions.
Speaker 4: So I always try to a serious exactly. So I
Speaker 4: always trying to answer as many of Elliot's question because
Speaker 4: they're still learning the world whatnot. But when am I
Speaker 4: sitting there watching the footy, and the entire time, I
Speaker 4: feel like I'm just asked answering his questions. I get
Speaker 4: to the point where I go, Alliott, I feel like,
Speaker 4: you just watch the movie, or if you just watched
Speaker 4: the game, ninety percent of your questions will probably be answered.
Speaker 4: But it's just one of those that's terribly patronized. But like,
Speaker 4: we're watching Harry Potter, but also we're very accurate. Every
Speaker 4: time I watch Harry Potter, why is he going to
Speaker 4: cut on his head? Holly Magic, we know this, You've
Speaker 4: seen the movie.
Speaker 5: She's like, oh, yeah, I've heard about this kind of
Speaker 5: thing before. Oh it's in Uh, it's in the movie.
Speaker 4: Steve Jobs, Sorry about jobs, Steve Jobs, No Jobs does
Speaker 4: not exist. The ash culture version does not exist. Strike
Speaker 4: it from the record. We're talking about what I watched
Speaker 4: plane and it put me to sleep. Could that's good?
Speaker 4: It did its job? You want to sleep on a plane.
Speaker 5: There's You're just reminded me of a bit where Steve
Speaker 5: Jobs's daughter is asking him questions and he say, you've
Speaker 5: already asked me this, you know the answer to this,
Speaker 5: And someone else says.
Speaker 4: To Steve, job is like people do that. Kids do that.
Speaker 5: Because they want ressurance and they want a bond with you.
Speaker 5: They may already know the answer, they may even know
Speaker 5: that they know the answer when they're asking you, but
Speaker 5: they still want to interact with you. So your kids
Speaker 5: are trying to interact with you, and it what's wrong
Speaker 5: with you? Jesus, you're a bad fan.
Speaker 4: I try to answer as many questions as possible, but
Speaker 4: it comes to the point where you've answered the same
Speaker 4: question five times in the last ten minutes. You just go,
Speaker 4: come on, kid, it's why you're podcast with me? Who's Lenny?
Speaker 4: And who's go again? Someone told me once, whether I
Speaker 4: read it, whether I heard it in an interview or something,
Speaker 4: that if kids engaging with their parents is very important
Speaker 4: because it's just important to keep stimulating their brains and
Speaker 4: have them engaging. If you just tell a kid to
Speaker 4: sit there and shut up, they won't be mute, but
Speaker 4: they won't learn. They won't be curious to try to
Speaker 4: want to learn.
Speaker 5: There will be a stone rather than a spun.
Speaker 4: He remembers everything he remembers you watched the footye and
Speaker 4: you'll go remember that time Brisbane beat Hawthorne by twelve
Speaker 4: points last year And I was like, no, I'll go
Speaker 4: through checks results. Shit kid.
Speaker 5: I am not sadistically that your kid is rain Man,
Speaker 5: but I sometimes but next time you're seeing throw whole
Speaker 5: bunch of toothpicks on the floor. Wow.
Speaker 4: Timely Reference from nineteen eighty eight say that they were
Speaker 4: about to review anpisode of The Simpsons that originally aired
Speaker 4: in nineteenty seven, So it's twenty seven years old. It's
Speaker 4: crazy to me because it feels like yesterday I was
Speaker 4: watching this as a new episode on TV.
Speaker 5: Now this episode is too old for Leonardo DiCaprio to
Speaker 5: day exactly.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Another zinger Jesus coming out with them today. But what
Speaker 4: did you like? Not favorite moments, but what did you
Speaker 4: enjoy just overall about this story. I mentioned how like
Speaker 4: the way they incorporated the family in a natural way,
Speaker 4: just the overall setting being in a fresh, new area,
Speaker 4: it makes it feel unique the story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, location was a good thing. I was actually happier
Speaker 5: with the I guess relationship or dynamic that developed between
Speaker 5: Homer and Burns. You know, we're so used to it
Speaker 5: being Ah, he's the monstrous boss who I can't get
Speaker 5: on the wrong side of all that kind of disess.
Speaker 4: And this is post who shot mister Burns as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you've got a nice bit of opposites attract
Speaker 5: kind of thing going on. These two do not have
Speaker 5: any common grand whatsoever, but they find it in cheating
Speaker 5: or cheating and also the glory of a good sit down.
Speaker 5: Who among us does not enjoy a good sit true
Speaker 5: words have never.
Speaker 4: Been he said sit, he said sit. Everybody the word
Speaker 4: that sounds like that also applies. Who does not enjoy
Speaker 4: a good one of those?
Speaker 5: Either?
Speaker 4: Let's still get down out right. But I think we'll
Speaker 4: say that about the south Park episode. I think it
Speaker 4: was just, yeah, seeing Burns in a because the boss
Speaker 4: when you're work in an office or whatever at a
Speaker 4: I worked afford Ford, very similar mentality to what the
Speaker 4: power plane is at the in Springfield. Here the boss
Speaker 4: is the boss. There's that fear factor. But sometimes when
Speaker 4: the boss or throws your bone and they say come, come, come,
Speaker 4: lunch of me or whatever, you're like, oh god, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: it has to be my friend. I spent the last
Speaker 4: six months shit done this guy and don't tell. But
Speaker 4: we've talked recently about how I think it's come up
Speaker 4: in various episodes. You want the approval, it's dish Mackie.
Speaker 5: We talked about Yeah, yeah, I'm terrified of him, but
Speaker 5: oh if he likes me, it provides a bit of
Speaker 5: positive reinforcement for yourself. It's like, oh, there must be
Speaker 5: something good about me of this guy's seeing it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: not realizing that this guy's full of shit as anybody else,
Speaker 5: probably just kids.
Speaker 4: More as I did love the justification of the cheating
Speaker 4: day because we all hate the idea of we'd like
Speaker 4: to think that we wouldn't cheat at something. However, if
Speaker 4: we were given the chance to cheat in this kind
Speaker 4: of situation, I think we're taking it right. If a
Speaker 4: horseless sled or arrives, it's a really.
Speaker 5: Really good line now about cheating is the gift the
Speaker 5: man gives himself. Yeah, I kind of agree. It's a
Speaker 5: good line by Swartsworlder as an American or some of
Speaker 5: the many people who worked on this script because we
Speaker 5: were just doing our research. That's interesting beforehand, but it
Speaker 5: was a Josh Weinstein.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So basically this was written by John Swatswolder. He's
Speaker 4: credited for it, but apparently we're just ready on the
Speaker 4: wiki page that they got the script and they went,
Speaker 4: if you tinker with a Swartzwelder script, you're just going
Speaker 4: to fuck it up. So basically we just had to
Speaker 4: rewrite the whole thing, even though he's still credited to it.
Speaker 4: And I want to throw the question to you, would
Speaker 4: you still want your name attached to it if you
Speaker 4: didn't write this, if this is not your baby, because
Speaker 4: would you sit home and go I know it says
Speaker 4: I wrote this, but I didn't write that. I don't.
Speaker 4: That's not how I would have handled this situation.
Speaker 5: I would imagine, And I could be wrong, because I
Speaker 5: often am, but I think that Swartzweather will be held
Speaker 5: in pretty high esteem or respect by the people it
Speaker 5: sends in the HQ. I think they would say, John,
Speaker 5: we did a bit of reworking on this because it
Speaker 5: was just too damn crazy.
Speaker 4: Was reworking it was rewriting?
Speaker 5: Well yeah, but yeah, well we did a bit of
Speaker 5: rewriting on it, or we rewrote it. What do you
Speaker 5: think would do you happy to go out with your
Speaker 5: name on this? Or should we alan smithy it and
Speaker 5: say you know and it was a group effort. He's
Speaker 5: probably just getting that residual money for me. That credit
Speaker 5: is the writer, probably a very smart guy, and this
Speaker 5: the Swartsweader and put my name on it and give
Speaker 5: me that money.
Speaker 4: He's just created that mystique forever has any Swartswolder, even
Speaker 4: to this day, we don't quite know the man. Certainly
Speaker 4: on this podcast we're doing Where's Well, We're saying his
Speaker 4: name in hush tones like it's I've always sort of
Speaker 4: said to myself, I'm gonna be that since this podcast
Speaker 4: that eventually gets spotswatter, I feel like if anyone's going
Speaker 4: to make it happen, it's this guy.
Speaker 5: Oh, Well's go to have a dream.
Speaker 4: I'm one of those people where unless it's the ability
Speaker 4: to fly, if I set myself a reasonable goal, I
Speaker 4: eighty five percent of the time I achieved them. I
Speaker 4: feel like I'm going to try and get Swartswater on
Speaker 4: this podcast. I feel like problem with this is not.
Speaker 5: An unreasonable goal. No, I think you can do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 5: If you have to drop my name to do it,
Speaker 5: then I'm happy to help my favorite We'll get in
Speaker 5: the favorite moments I have I have two and one.
Speaker 5: I've already alluded to who among us does not enjoy
Speaker 5: a good sit?
Speaker 6: Ye?
Speaker 5: Sitting's great, YEA all for it. I love it, and
Speaker 5: I'm glad that Homer actually got to show a bit
Speaker 5: of his prayer as he earned a bit of respect
Speaker 5: from my day from being just a really good sitter.
Speaker 4: And not just to sit. It's the ability to move
Speaker 4: the dog. He's effective and efficient. Why you'd have to
Speaker 4: get up? That was great? It was such a stupid
Speaker 4: cliche setup. But it's like you knew exactly what they
Speaker 4: were doing. You'd have to get up. I love that
Speaker 4: on infomercials. That would take me all day. Tell me more.
Speaker 4: You mean a world have to do that? But you
Speaker 4: mentioned it a good sit, right for maybe? No, it's
Speaker 4: like yourself and myself. There's two the two most important
Speaker 4: things we have in our house our beds and our couch.
Speaker 4: So we spend the most bad time sleeping and sitting.
Speaker 4: So you're gonna go out and buy a mattress or a couch.
Speaker 4: Make sure it's not just a shitty one. Treat yourself
Speaker 4: because you don't realize how often you spend on that couch.
Speaker 5: Time for guy's cliche corner. Do you realize you spend
Speaker 5: a third of your life asleep?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it sounds like a lot. Then you realize
Speaker 4: and you go, oh sure, kauhala mattress, friend of the Pond,
Speaker 4: sleeping duck or one. What is a sand Man factory?
Speaker 4: Is that the mattress place?
Speaker 5: That sounds evil?
Speaker 4: The Sandman not evil? If you want a sponsors not evil,
Speaker 4: I'm a I'm aware of the sand The.
Speaker 5: Sandman Factories has like a serial killer's like it's a
Speaker 5: super villain.
Speaker 4: It's spider Man. They think they've got that little girl
Speaker 4: who live in the Sandman Factory. I love it. This
Speaker 4: is a great story. Elliott watches spider I'll be the
Speaker 4: judge of that. Elliott right loves Spidery and his amazing friends.
Speaker 4: It's the show, a genius show where they kid versions
Speaker 4: of the Marvel heroes getting them in early. You're not
Speaker 4: gonna like DC, You're gonna like Marvel. Do they have
Speaker 4: a kid punish it? No, not yet, But there's the
Speaker 4: Samman's been on it right, And I feel like you
Speaker 4: must have tested well of audiences because if you've heard
Speaker 4: a few episodes. But Elliot watches and he goes, he
Speaker 4: turns into sand. What's good of that turning into bottle?
Speaker 4: But he's just like, hees, what's his super power? So
Speaker 4: he turns in the sand. He goes, why do I
Speaker 4: take him? Turn the sand? I'm like, I mean, I
Speaker 4: get it, that's true.
Speaker 5: I think there's a reason the Sandman didn't show Spider
Speaker 5: Man three very well played by Thomas Hayden.
Speaker 4: He goes, he can't fly, he doesn't have a glider
Speaker 4: like like Electro and and Green Goblin. He's just said,
Speaker 4: what's so good about? Said?
Speaker 5: Give him some comic books. I mean, I'm sure the
Speaker 5: Sandman has done some really good I remember enjoying the
Speaker 5: Sandman in Spider Man's just on this show.
Speaker 4: He's just the abilities. Just what's the deal with the Saldmon?
Speaker 4: He turns into a sand I don't know how and
Speaker 4: friends of favorite moments. I don't know enjoying a good
Speaker 4: good Sandman the Mattress Factory. We're back, We're back, he
Speaker 4: made I really enjoyed home. I got more fatal we're
Speaker 4: taking turns? Yeah, I thought that was trivia. No, what's
Speaker 4: your shake up? A bit shake One thing that I
Speaker 4: like is a couple of just homeless sort of just
Speaker 4: manuisms here, So I put all your names into the hat.
Speaker 4: You like the process and the because I could totally relate.
Speaker 4: And I can understand why you would think this if
Speaker 4: you've rocked up late to the party and Smizers has
Speaker 4: just said you have to follow to the cabinets on
Speaker 4: your map. I don't have a map, but you haven't
Speaker 4: initialed a map yet. It's like I lost the map.
Speaker 4: It's like you would think, well, the fact, do you
Speaker 4: think he's lost it? That's gay, yes, but you know
Speaker 4: you would think, well, haven't given a map yet?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just I like that I've lost my Matt.
Speaker 5: One should always be curious, Elliott, and I'm always asked questions.
Speaker 5: There are no dumb questions, except sometimes there are dumb questions.
Speaker 4: Because if you get to a thing late, Garrison would say,
Speaker 4: is that trivia a little segment? Such is a stupid
Speaker 4: question only stupid people. Very good point.
Speaker 5: You rock up to something late, and you know you
Speaker 5: asked the question about, oh, so are we covering this?
Speaker 5: I've already talked about this. You've been here on time,
Speaker 5: and everyone's looked at you like this. You're like that
Speaker 5: person that calls out a letter on real fortune. That's
Speaker 5: either a already out on the border lorady being called out.
Speaker 5: You're like, the fuck the hell's wrong with you? I
Speaker 5: don't know if I should say it. We're going to
Speaker 5: do that episode of soundtrack, so that's going to be interesting.
Speaker 4: The camera guy. But what else did you like? I
Speaker 4: was always.
Speaker 5: Curious, very curious episode to that. Ye about the line,
Speaker 5: your ideas are intriguing to me, and I would like
Speaker 5: I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. I always thought
Speaker 5: that the Simpsons not rip this off from somewhere else,
Speaker 5: but they are paying homage or referencing something, but it's
Speaker 5: from this Yes, But that became it became a real
Speaker 5: saying yeah, I said all the time, Yeah, it's like, well,
Speaker 5: your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to
Speaker 5: subscribe to your newsletter.
Speaker 4: In that moment, is that Bart trying to just be
Speaker 4: like just one of those right wing idiots? What was
Speaker 4: this thing about? You know this? And what about that? Hey,
Speaker 4: the world's going to shit.
Speaker 5: He's becoming an ultra conservative for its news very early
Speaker 5: in the in the proceedings of his life, Yes, but yeah,
Speaker 5: certainly in the late nineties. Yeah, that that saying was
Speaker 5: going around a lot. I mean, yeah, post this episode,
Speaker 5: I'm guessing, but it seemed like it was a bit
Speaker 5: of a shorthand gag. You know, of anyone, anytime, anyone
Speaker 5: anything interesting or vaguely fends like your ideas are retreating me.
Speaker 5: You know, we should subcribe to your newsletters. Who would
Speaker 5: have thought that would become a thing? You're a glib
Speaker 5: fuck around ye.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 5: Those are my two favorite moments.
Speaker 4: I also enjoyed, so they get there And if you
Speaker 4: turn this door knob the right way, No going through
Speaker 4: the window for us, Like that makes it's stupid, but
Speaker 4: it's so funny. No going through the window for us.
Speaker 4: It's home destly trying to catch up to how the
Speaker 4: way how the half lives? He's like, oh this how
Speaker 4: the other half? Wow? You guys using fancy doorknobs. Next question,

Speaker 4: I K you're going to ask a question like this,
Speaker 4: I don't know who look at the look at this guy.

Speaker 4: this is probably be a tricky question, and then you
Speaker 4: get it and you're like, oh no, it's Trucker. Trucker.
Speaker 4: I was thinking because when they finished that, I thought,
Speaker 4: I wonder if any of those names were like, you know,
Speaker 4: Weinstein or Oakley or show people worked on the show.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 4: The one thing I was happy about, like Zutro is back.
Speaker 6: I was.

Speaker 5: get the shame of Penny, which is how Dan I
Speaker 5: got me on board?

Speaker 4: a game or the domestic version Chinese Chinese Checkers or
Speaker 4: domestic Yeah, chickeny China, the Chinese Chicken except from Chinese Chicken.
Speaker 4: It's some pop song, isn't it. It's been one day

Speaker 4: Finest is it one day? It's been one week? One
Speaker 4: weeks again looked. I'm like, well, it always every day,
Speaker 4: that's what that's.
Speaker 5: I did that to avoid copy right straight, I'm learning.
Speaker 5: My next question to you is when did the story
Speaker 5: of National parks begin? Oh, nineteen twelve, eighteen seventy two,
Speaker 5: eighteen seventy two, according to the very boring yes, what
Speaker 5: dates are the Mountain Music Festival?
Speaker 4: Oh? Damn it August twelve to sixteenth March fourteen eighteen. Okay,
Speaker 4: so I was wrong in every wrong in pretty much
Speaker 4: every way. I really like that Ranger though as a
Speaker 4: kid I never really got it. He watched his now
Speaker 4: apparently he's based on the design off Al Gore. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but it's just so funny. Yeah, just very deadpan. Yeah, deadpan,
Speaker 4: and also just like slipping in that little primover much
Speaker 4: more in eating.
Speaker 5: I have one more question for you. Yeah, how many
Speaker 5: bones are in burns of snowman? How many what bones? Bones?
Speaker 4: Oh? Is it same as a human body? That's a
Speaker 4: good question. Two hundred and something? Okay, we have two

Speaker 4: A website, a web site, a you find out www
Speaker 4: dot Yeah, no, I did the http backlas Bashlas, a
Speaker 4: YouTube program that I came up with a very plausible
Speaker 4: sounding but completely pornographic explanation for the name Bazooka Joe.
Speaker 5: I need to look up if it's actually true, because
Speaker 5: the guy who told the story it was incredibly funny,
Speaker 5: incredibly smutty, and also like that could be a thing.
Speaker 4: Say it with enough conviction that gee George stands away.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh the way of the Internet. Yes, honesty,
Speaker 5: conviction will always be mistaken for accuracy.
Speaker 4: All right, let's the names of our beloved Stonecumers as well.
Speaker 4: What do you reckon?
Speaker 5: How about you do it?
Speaker 4: I reckon?
Speaker 5: I better do it because I'm the one with the list.
Speaker 5: You're the one with the computer in front of your man.
Speaker 5: I've got patter and pen like a caveman.
Speaker 4: Who do we start with? Always? We always start with
Speaker 4: the letter G. We we skip right through the first
Speaker 4: few letters of the alphabet because G is the most important.
Speaker 4: It's because no G, because guy, because guy starts with
Speaker 4: G ATG k E G Kate e G yes with
Speaker 4: her one hundred dollar support. Thank you so much, Katie
Speaker 4: for continue to supportus. He at the four figure discantey.
Speaker 5: That would be if Katie G went to the Olympics
Speaker 5: as a break dancer. Do you think she would go?
Speaker 5: By kate discussion?
Speaker 4: Can we talk about Reagan? Can I stalk about reagaann?
Speaker 4: Everyone's talking about Reagan. They were, They're not going to
Speaker 4: be anymore. By the time this comes out, she'd be
Speaker 4: old news.
Speaker 5: That's correct. Her her pan will have been flash. She
Speaker 5: had her fifteen seconds. If Katig went to the Olympics
Speaker 5: of breakdownce kate e G K eight was it even
Speaker 5: worth it? Don't but katG is certainly worth it, and
Speaker 5: we're worth one hundred dollars a month. According to Katy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Andrew' serve with his fifty dollars support also our
Speaker 4: man as a.
Speaker 5: Lolling as you would say something knowics about Andrews. We're
Speaker 5: always saying no stuff about Katie, who deserves it.
Speaker 4: Andrew has just been the constant. He's been a fifty
Speaker 4: dollar supporter for so long. What an absolute champion. When
Speaker 4: you talking about mister Zerr, I think you just said
Speaker 4: welcome to the rock, because he's the rock. He is
Speaker 4: the rock, He's the backbone. And he also has one
Speaker 4: of the biggest Pluto collections you'll ever see.
Speaker 5: I'm wondered where that was going.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you look, he should be to be a photo.
Speaker 4: He basically owns every Cluter ever released or it is
Speaker 4: like an entire wall of Cludo's and I'm like, that's
Speaker 4: a lot of the game. However, every game has its
Speaker 4: own unique locations whatnot. Okay O games at Andrews's place
Speaker 4: would be a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: I think it would go right off. Yeah, I think
Speaker 5: you would do it in the living room with the candlestick.
Speaker 4: What's your favorite Cluto? Do you ever what's played? You've
Speaker 4: ever played a theme? I don't think I've ever I
Speaker 4: don't think I've ever played clue. This really wow, there's
Speaker 4: a Simpsons Cludo that's unbelievable.
Speaker 5: For our American friends, you just clue.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I've got Seinfeld Clue because it was never
Speaker 4: released here. Nicolas got friends Clue because it was never
Speaker 4: released here. Never happened.
Speaker 5: Do you think it's just Is it called cludo anywhere
Speaker 5: else in the world?
Speaker 4: Everywhere but the States?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, because it sounds very austraight yeah.
Speaker 4: Clude looks like you make clue Bersie Cluto. Okay, Gluto,
Speaker 4: all right, let's have it. Is Cludo called clue in
Speaker 4: UK's have a look. The game was eventually picture of
Speaker 4: the British publisher Waddington's, who changed it to make you
Speaker 4: change it to the made up word Cludo, a mashup
Speaker 4: of clue and Ludo, Ludo being the name of Pachisi
Speaker 4: in England. In nineteen forty eight, the game is presented
Speaker 4: to Waddington's American partners Parker Brothers, who changed the name
Speaker 4: to clue. So it's only clue in the States. Everywhere
Speaker 4: else Cludo.
Speaker 5: There you go, because you want to clus sounds like
Speaker 5: the wonderful clash of England and America.
Speaker 4: It's like, Hello, I'm Horace Waddington the Third. You know,
Speaker 4: my great grandfather founded Washington's Games back in the hell
Speaker 4: Hell where the Parker Brothers, sorry they were Australian, where
Speaker 4: the Parker Brothers. We muscled those guys out. I am
Speaker 4: entertaining myself with this, but no one else. If you
Speaker 4: said to someone who wants to play Clue, I'd be like,
Speaker 4: all right. If someone says, who want to play Cludo? Yeah, Cluto,
Speaker 4: it sounds so much more fun, hey, Cludo. It doesn't
Speaker 4: It does anyway enough to b Cluto. Also, our man
Speaker 4: Zach Pruitt, who added the show occasionally here in the
Speaker 4: fourth just edited all that stuff out, yeah, Andrew Swan.
Speaker 4: Our man it runs out Discord and helps out the
Speaker 4: website was Jordan mom and Richie Jonathan ROSSI reached Beasley,

Speaker 4: Logan b James Sheppard, Joe Readin, Szac, Dave Puts McNally,
Speaker 4: Gavin Lang, Damian Millen. They may be wondering why I
Speaker 4: put it out the coffee, because now people know when
Speaker 4: they're watching this on YouTube, that this is actually happening
Speaker 4: in real time.
Speaker 5: This is happening in real time. Also, this is the
Speaker 5: only time we've got so many stonecutters that you know,
Speaker 5: Damno is going to be occupied for a bit. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't have to talk. I can you know, by
Speaker 5: the way, this is tea, not coffee. Ah, but I
Speaker 5: can cleanse my palette and you know, whit my whistle
Speaker 5: and get ready to provide you with top notch content.
Speaker 4: Do you want to know the original air day of
Speaker 4: Mountain of Madness. Sure, it was February second, nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 4: The production code, would you believe, was four F one zero,
Speaker 4: and as we mentioned earlier, it was written by John Swartzwald,
Speaker 4: although he may not have written I want to see.
Speaker 4: I want to read what the Schwartzwater version of this
Speaker 4: apparently was insane, as Weinstein says, so I would love
Speaker 4: to read John swartz Order's original version of Mountain of Madness.
Speaker 4: I wonder I reckon he goes real like crazy with
Speaker 4: once they have cabin Fever. One's while with that, I reckon.
Speaker 4: I like Swartzwelder. I like it.
Speaker 5: I like his philosophy of writing just a really basic
Speaker 5: thing and then the next day, Oh, I get to rewrite.
Speaker 5: You know, you do the fun stuff.
Speaker 4: I love that he bought the diner booth that he
Speaker 4: likes and brought it into his house. What a man. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Also directed by Mark Kirkland. The cash gag the couch
Speaker 4: has folded out into a bed with Grandpa sleeping on
Speaker 4: at the Simpsons folded back up and he gets sucked
Speaker 4: into the couch and there was no chopboall game, just
Speaker 4: gip straight to the couch gag. So the episode kicks
Speaker 4: off with Burns walking all happy into work. Have I
Speaker 4: ever seen a boss walk into work like this?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: The boss never seems happening. I feel like that if
Speaker 4: you're a boss, you've got to set that you're going
Speaker 4: to set the president right love the way he said, Boss,
Speaker 4: just then really sort of boss, You've got to set
Speaker 4: the president of If I look like I'm happy to
Speaker 4: be here, then hopefully my workers will want to be
Speaker 4: here as well.
Speaker 5: Well you're leading from the top, Yeah, because a top
Speaker 5: down manage, I.
Speaker 4: Know, previous employment. You go here, you're going, yeah, living
Speaker 4: the dream. I'm like, well, this guy fucking hats being in,
Speaker 4: then why should I enjoy being the point he's only
Speaker 4: getting paid. Whenever I walk into the studio that we've
Speaker 4: got here, Dan, it's almost very very cheerful. Yeah, another day,
Speaker 4: let's help. The promise of a new day, the promise
Speaker 4: of a new Davis Beta. But officer him coffee, no
Speaker 4: need for coffee. As I said, promise of a new
Speaker 4: day is more than enough exhilaration for him. And then
Speaker 4: by lunchtime he's just in the bed. This is what
Speaker 4: it's like at enofice job. By a lunchtime you're like,
Speaker 4: oh god, how's it only twelve o'clock? True? Yes, so
Speaker 4: that's when you log at it. Yes, No, don't log out,
Speaker 4: Go get your Steve Kie, then come back and log out. No,
Speaker 4: this is the thing, you know, this week marks two
Speaker 4: years since I quit my office job to pursue this
Speaker 4: is a dream. Wow two years two years as I've
Speaker 4: had to work for somebody else. Wowpaus to me, well,
Speaker 4: chase that drink, Yes, Chase the dream indeed. But he
Speaker 4: then asked the coffee because obviously he needs it. And
Speaker 4: then that shot here of him and going ah with
Speaker 4: the coffee that gets used so often in memes, Burds
Speaker 4: with this little coffee and just full of energy, and
Speaker 4: he's wide away now and decides, what can we do here?
Speaker 4: We do a drill of some kind. So you go
Speaker 4: through his meltdown alert, a mad dog, one, a blimp,
Speaker 4: and you just side and a good old fire drill.
Speaker 4: Imagine having this power. Were just like, I feel like
Speaker 4: making them do a drill.
Speaker 5: Putting them through their paces. Yeah, making them bend to
Speaker 5: my will.
Speaker 4: They do it forward, but they would they would always
Speaker 4: like the top officer would always say, you gonna do
Speaker 4: a fire drill today in Geelong, but that they would
Speaker 4: always come around the union God always comeround and go
Speaker 4: doing a fire drill at nine forty five. Just get ready,
Speaker 4: just make just get ready. It was like it was
Speaker 4: like the need to know basis, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Ninety five the fire drill. Everyone's like, is that the
Speaker 4: fire drill? Got leave it in orderly fashion, thankfully. Here's
Speaker 4: this exit package I've.
Speaker 5: Prepared earlier, but I'm going to follow to the letter. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm certainly not afraid from my life. So yeah, so
Speaker 5: it's just going to going crazy.
Speaker 4: Lenny's waiting for his coc I did, like Carl thought
Speaker 4: the popcorn's ready. Now you're mentioning, you've read someone on
Speaker 4: Wikipedia that this was the first one established the Lenny
Speaker 4: Carl relationship, apparently al Pale Josh Weinstein, because they've always
Speaker 4: been friends, yes, but.
Speaker 5: Now we're establishing that they are an actual sort of duo. Yeah,
Speaker 5: best buzz.
Speaker 4: It's weird because I've always just seen them as a duo. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we do a bit of retroactive. What's the word I'm
Speaker 4: looking for is just because you've watched the same episodes
Speaker 4: over and over again, just feels like it's always been
Speaker 4: that's always been that way. Yeah, because I guess the episodes,
Speaker 4: I would say the ones that we're put on TV
Speaker 4: the most in Australia reruns wise, we'll be like four
Speaker 4: through eight. I reckon and this is season eight, so
Speaker 4: it's cold on the end of that. But still, I think,
Speaker 4: just watching these episodes over and over again, you just
Speaker 4: think this has just always just been the way. As
Speaker 4: I said, now, who are you? Are you the fire
Speaker 4: extinguisher guy in a fire drill when you think that
Speaker 4: the shit's gone shit's gone down? Or either fire fire
Speaker 4: fire fight? Which one are you? Either guy get the
Speaker 4: fired seriously hitting people? Or are you panicking? Or you
Speaker 4: what do you?
Speaker 5: Neither of these a good option. No, they're not. I'm
Speaker 5: probably far extinguished that I'm gonna be honest about.
Speaker 4: If it's every man for himself, you know this building
Speaker 4: is coming down, what are you doing? Are you going
Speaker 4: to be helping people or is it every man for himself? No,
Speaker 4: I'm going to be helping people. You reckon, I am
Speaker 4: No one remembers you, though, what's the point in happening people?
Speaker 4: If it was all coming down it's every man for himself,
Speaker 4: You're going to get out first.
Speaker 5: Man in the last few seconds of my life. I'm
Speaker 5: going to be like, there's a saying that.
Speaker 4: It might not have to be if it's every man
Speaker 4: for himself, it mightn't have to be the last few
Speaker 4: seconds of your life. Yeah, and then I've got to
Speaker 4: live the rest of my life. There was that poor
Speaker 4: chump I could have helped out, and that that person
Speaker 4: will haunt me for the rest of my day. But
Speaker 4: then you just have to have someone go. Yeah, but
Speaker 4: if he was in that situation, would done the same
Speaker 4: thing to you? And you're like, yeah, you probably would have.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: No, I've gotta be able to look at myself in
Speaker 4: the mirror for the rest of my life. So yeah,
Speaker 4: and I saying I'll come a rescue. In the cowboy photo,
Speaker 4: as well as most of the family, I love to
Speaker 4: choose between.
Speaker 5: All of them, Like there's a family phok right there,
Speaker 5: that's got everyone in the grab that one, the stabby
Speaker 5: photo is at home.
Speaker 4: This one is me.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying you shouldn't have taken the cowboy, of
Speaker 5: course he has, but he's looking like which you choose?
Speaker 4: Which I choose?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, what were you going to say?
Speaker 5: There's a saying from an old Western that I like
Speaker 5: that is not necessarily a motto, but this cowboy's sort
Speaker 5: of lived a bit of a rough life. He says,
Speaker 5: when my time comes, I just want to enter my
Speaker 5: house justified, which means, you know, I want no regrets.
Speaker 5: I want to walk up to the pearly gates and say, yeah,
Speaker 5: I did it right. That's the thing I want to
Speaker 5: I want to enter my house justified. Yes, so yeah,
Speaker 5: that's that's how I feel about it. I would help
Speaker 5: someone out.
Speaker 4: Bands and Smiths are waiting. He says, how does it
Speaker 4: normally take? Was it like usually forty five seconds or something?
Speaker 5: Forty five seconds? And the storte is it supposed to
Speaker 5: take this long?
Speaker 3: What's a good term for a mass evacuation of the
Speaker 3: entire plant?
Speaker 1: Forty five seconds? And to tell him so far I
Speaker 1: don't know. Sorry, let's stop watch only goes up to
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4: Damn nation? What kind of slow coaches? The way of
Speaker 4: working for me.
Speaker 3: Was one of our fellows.
Speaker 2: Now I think I won, mister Burns, Yes, you won.
Speaker 3: All right, you won more than you burgained.
Speaker 7: Fun.
Speaker 4: I love this shot here. It's just detailed the background,
Speaker 4: Burns dressing him down, the guy climbing down and he
Speaker 4: falls off at the last bitte.
Speaker 5: That was good. I like that. By the way, another
Speaker 5: pop culture deep cut in here are very Burns thing,
Speaker 5: because Burns is always, you know, talking about stuff. That
Speaker 5: was just ancient and before by the time this episode
Speaker 5: came out. I think he talks about the Ritz Brothers
Speaker 5: he does, which were like, I really, I want to
Speaker 5: say a low rent Marx Brothers, but it's like Marx
Speaker 5: Brothers are really popular in the thirties and forties, and
Speaker 5: I think it was like Famous and Brothers, find all
Speaker 5: the Vallville, thead, the.
Speaker 4: Rights, who got the Ritson? The Right Brothers did the plane?
Speaker 4: Also a well known comedy duo. Yes, but yeah Rich
Speaker 4: Brothers like a yeah, a Marx Brothers knock off.
Speaker 5: Of course this is something but a joke designed especially
Speaker 5: for me and my head full of pop culture epemera.
Speaker 4: But a rule lesson in teamwork, as he explains, here
Speaker 4: is what Lenny and I don't know he does like
Speaker 4: clearly not working as a team. So it's true this
Speaker 4: is this feels like the episode where now you pointed
Speaker 4: it out. A lot of the episode is Lenny and Carl.
Speaker 4: I think I didn't have it as the first time
Speaker 4: as seen him as a duo. I saw it as
Speaker 4: the first time we sort of saw Carl's disdain for Lenny,
Speaker 4: which I think is my least favorite part of that relationship.
Speaker 4: Because as the show evolves, it's almost like Lenny evolves
Speaker 4: into Carl as well. They both have just disdained for
Speaker 4: each other and everything else around them. Yeah it feels unnatural. Yeah,
Speaker 4: isn't it, because why frankly unwanted? Yeah, it's weird. We
Speaker 4: don't want that. No, so burns, so as I always
Speaker 4: said that. So Homy then explains that you can take
Speaker 4: him to a teamwork retreat, to the family, as if
Speaker 4: they say, you've got to come with me. This is
Speaker 4: where we get the Barts rant about the just the
Speaker 4: world's not going the way he likes it. I wish
Speaker 4: to subscribe to your newsletter, think about Babe Ruth. Yes,
Speaker 4: what's funny? What tends to even play for? Who knows? Nobody? Yankees?
Speaker 4: And then his response is ignores and continues his rant.
Speaker 5: It was already played for the Boston Red Sox. It
Speaker 5: was like, wait a minute, this is gag. And he
Speaker 5: actually did play for the Socks. But yeah, he was
Speaker 5: a picture for the Socks.
Speaker 4: I thought. And then then when the Yankees hit, I think,
Speaker 4: you say he didn't play for the Yankes, and I
Speaker 4: was like, my whole life is a lie. I swear
Speaker 4: he played for the Yankees. It's like a fil reference
Speaker 4: here Australia Garriol but Senior played his first couple years
Speaker 4: at Hawthorne. Yeah, and they let him go. There are
Speaker 4: always those tales about okay, you take this or you
Speaker 4: take this?
Speaker 5: Why don't keep reading recently because it keeps coming up
Speaker 5: on social Media's like Vincent.
Speaker 4: Price was offered like a cut of Thriller.
Speaker 5: Royalty or twenty grand to Ida and he took twenty grand.
Speaker 4: The best one is Alec Guinness McGinness is the Meginnis. Yes,
Speaker 4: just Guinness, just get us. Yeah, taking the cut of
Speaker 4: the merchandising.
Speaker 5: Oh did you take the merchandising or just or just
Speaker 5: got points in the movie? I thought it was merchandising
Speaker 5: or was that Lucas Luke Lucas took them. He was
Speaker 5: just like, don't pay me anything. I just one percentage
Speaker 5: of something Guinness did. What a genius?
Speaker 7: Teamwork is overrated? Think about it. I mean what team
Speaker 7: was Babe ruth On who knows Yankees sharing is a
Speaker 7: bunch of bulls too? And helping others and what's all
Speaker 7: this crap I've been hearing about tolerance.
Speaker 2: Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to
Speaker 2: subscribe to your newsletter, but I think we have to
Speaker 2: go and a retreat anyway.
Speaker 4: They rub a mat useful, the strategic Granite Reserve and
Speaker 4: then the car park. See this is just another one
Speaker 4: of those rakes, just to kill some time, I guess.
Speaker 4: Then Birds is running through all the different things and
Speaker 4: realize family. As we said, it's just a way of
Speaker 4: having Marge Bart Lisa make it in the episode, even
Speaker 4: though make it didn't really do much anyway. Actually it
Speaker 4: was just a little starfish. Yeah, there was one one
Speaker 4: little nitpick I've got with the Marge toroyal and then
Speaker 4: I'll bring up when we get to it. Okay, but
Speaker 4: Marge says, you know, we can have lots of fun here,
Speaker 4: right a mountain and then the range of rocks up
Speaker 4: the first time we've seen. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts,
Speaker 4: we've had to remove anything even the least bit entertaining. Well, goodbye.
Speaker 4: Then Smithers is explaining about the map. I'll last my map.
Speaker 4: You haven't been issued a map yet. Just setting up
Speaker 4: the homisis an idiot. Then when you arrive you'll have
Speaker 4: sealbratory savages and like affordable Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like as well. I mean, I'm trying to
Speaker 5: remember if we've ever seen prior to this Smithers be
Speaker 5: kind of flinty and a short tempered.
Speaker 4: Because yeah, how man the Smithers. Oh yeah, I guess
Speaker 4: tries to kill Homer. Point what about when he's walking
Speaker 4: the street. Can't a man walked down the street if
Speaker 4: had been offered a job. That's I believe the joy
Speaker 4: of sect. That's the was it the note? It's the no, No,
Speaker 4: that's the Hank scopia one.
Speaker 5: Thanks for pointing the finger told me.
Speaker 4: But yeah, the home of the Smithers is from season seven,
Speaker 4: I believe. So, yeah, great, it's.
Speaker 5: Just impossible to contend with their big brain Neils.
Speaker 4: It's not at all. It's a wasted youth. I wouldn't
Speaker 4: say wasted. I've made it my job right. It was
Speaker 4: all ground work. Yes, it was just like laying the groundwork.
Speaker 4: But yeah, So basically they're explaining that you need to
Speaker 4: map you get salvatory sandwiches. Then the second last team
Speaker 4: gets the trophy of worst employee and last gets fired.
Speaker 4: Burns and says that even he and Smithers are going
Speaker 4: to be so even we might get fired, not likely.
Speaker 4: I always thought that delivering the reading of not bloody
Speaker 4: likely just felt so odd because that's not what an
Speaker 4: American would say. No, it was just weird, not bloody likely,
Speaker 4: what the hell? Just it felt like a weird thing
Speaker 4: for Burns to say, Yeah, because he's American. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: say bloody at all, the bloody like I don't think
Speaker 4: they and it's never really it made its way into
Speaker 4: American bloody hell, the bloody bloody hell. Try put on
Speaker 4: your best American accent, try to say bloody hell, which
Speaker 4: which accent though I can't do American accents. But that's
Speaker 4: what's blossomed, bloody, bloody, bloody hell. That's that's that's not
Speaker 4: of an American. I don't know what it is. It's weird,
Speaker 4: it's odd. Yes, the modern day bloody hell is for
Speaker 4: fox sake, one word, yeah, fox sake? Is that is
Speaker 4: that an ussy thing? Fox sake? I think?
Speaker 5: So let's claim it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's claim it.
Speaker 5: But Americans don't say bloody.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 4: It was a weird thing. Yeah. But as of saying that,
Speaker 4: he says, if we might, then all the names are
Speaker 4: in the hat. And Carl's annoyed that he gets put
Speaker 4: with Lenny, I feel like oh nuts was the gag
Speaker 4: of the week in the writer's room because it's get
Speaker 4: said so often in this episode.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it didn't feel like they were trying.
Speaker 4: To create a catch right now. It's like, well, it's
Speaker 4: a bit. Yeah, this is the bit Homer and Burns
Speaker 4: get put together. Smithers's like, what do you mean? I
Speaker 4: thought we were going to be reading this will frankly
Speaker 4: be in a bit of a pill lately. What do
Speaker 4: we always fight on vacation? Smith is now on his own.
Speaker 4: I did love this and we paired with me and
Speaker 4: it is wener. Smith's great, perfect, That's just perfect. We've
Speaker 4: all been a situation where it just feels like nothing's
Speaker 4: going right. But they start the race, shoots, the gun,
Speaker 4: goes into the snow. Everyone starts running off, shooting stuff
Speaker 4: out of the snow. I just got here. What a
Speaker 4: great opening act. That's pretty good. Nothing was wasted, there
Speaker 4: was no filler. It all set up the story. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just really well handled. We're now at the visitor center
Speaker 4: with Marche and the kids. Bart's with the bear and
Speaker 4: this is one of the more iconic moments from the episode.
Speaker 6: Only who can't prevent Forest Fires? You pressed you referring
Speaker 6: to me, that is incorrect. The correct answer is you.
Speaker 4: So he asked, can we go outside to play? Marge says, yep, sure,
Speaker 4: no worries my nitpick use the term apple cheek, which
Speaker 4: I liked. My nitpick is coming up though, a little
Speaker 4: bit later, Marge says, but Lisa, where are you what
Speaker 4: You've just told them they can go outside and play?
Speaker 4: Why are you looking for them in the visitor center?
Speaker 4: Have you looked outside? Well, no, it's like that's where
Speaker 4: you told them they can go play. It's that microscopic
Speaker 4: eye for detail that sets you apart.
Speaker 5: It's that kind of.
Speaker 4: Thing that's gonna get this man. I learned it from
Speaker 4: you dead. Smithers is angry and we get the bony
Speaker 4: all behind which slaye me as a kid.
Speaker 1: How could you do this to me, mister Burns, After
Speaker 1: all I've done for you, Why if you were here,
Speaker 1: I kick you right near bony all behind bony.
Speaker 6: All behind bony all behind bony all behind.
Speaker 4: Bony behind the way.
Speaker 3: Thank you Simpson. They have been watching my figure.
Speaker 4: But then shoots the snowball off the tree. I like
Speaker 4: the idea that he knew Lisa would enjoy the idea
Speaker 4: the two snowflakes that identical to each other. Oh boy,
Speaker 4: really and shoots the snowball hits mister Smithers, so he's
Speaker 4: little Randy. Oh great, it's the Bubbsy Twins. I appreciate
Speaker 4: the fact that he immediately apologized because it just felt
Speaker 4: out a character for him to be mean to Button Lisa.
Speaker 4: And it's just frustrated. He's just frustrated, And that's what happens.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you get frustrated. Sometimes I say things. I go, okay, Al,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I didn't meant to yell, but I'm just
Speaker 4: I've had enough. Sometimes you just hit that breaking point
Speaker 4: you I felt like the equivalent for you is when
Speaker 4: technology is not working your way very much and you've
Speaker 4: just had enough.
Speaker 5: This is why Dan and I record in the same
Speaker 5: room as opposed to try to do it remotely.
Speaker 4: But just push push that button. But we couldn't. We
Speaker 4: couldn't film it though. If you were in the same room,
Speaker 4: that zoom in your face and it wouldn't. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: no one likes that. Everyone likes that. They okay, but
Speaker 4: they offered to help him, and yeah, I just thought
Speaker 4: this was a great set up. Smithers button Lesa. You
Speaker 4: don't see them sort of working together very often, so
Speaker 4: it was just nice to something fresh, you know, something different,
Speaker 4: And it's also nice to see someone The dynamic I
Speaker 4: liked about this is that someone who isn't used to
Speaker 4: having to deal with kids correct now has to hang
Speaker 4: out with kids. But he also it's kind like a
Speaker 4: big kid himsel because they see them in the Malibu
Speaker 4: Stacey episode. He collecks right, the dolls and whatnot. So
Speaker 4: he asked Bart for the time twelve eighty? What comes
Speaker 4: after one? Was it twelve one? I said, after twelve?
Speaker 4: How are your kids with after one? When with a
Speaker 4: clock as opposed to a digital clock. They haven't quite
Speaker 4: worked out the clock yet. Yeah. I wondering if the
Speaker 4: kids are the kids of today, not just your kids,
Speaker 4: the children they still teach them, I would hope. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: they still teach them to right, thank God? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Oh big hand in little hand.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. Alice getting really good at reading and writing.
Speaker 4: It's incredible. You know, he's been at school for six.
Speaker 5: Months now and county toothpicks.
Speaker 4: Yes, humans can just just learned, man like he's been God.
Speaker 4: So it's incredible, Like how quickly. This picks it up.
Speaker 4: He's like we're walking down the street. It's just like
Speaker 4: the does that say Buxton? Like that the real estate.
Speaker 4: I was like it does. He reads words and he
Speaker 4: goes X exciting, fantastic, And I was like, these are
Speaker 4: words you've never read.
Speaker 5: Before, and it's why we need to teaching because I've
Speaker 5: got no idea how to sort of teach that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but you really want to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well we went to the classroom yesterday. It was
Speaker 4: just afternoon that had like little parents can come in
Speaker 4: for the last half and hour kind of thing and
Speaker 4: just watching the class work and just the way, just
Speaker 4: the basics. And you're like, I probably did this same
Speaker 4: thing to learn as but I don't remember. I don't
Speaker 4: remember how I learned. It's just because I just know
Speaker 4: how to do it. Yeah, you don't remember, as we
Speaker 4: said before, how to lay the groundwork. Yeah, okay, Yes,
Speaker 4: this is the alphabet, and this is how certain words
Speaker 4: sound together, and way this word is a bit like
Speaker 4: that words it might sound a bit like that, oh
Speaker 4: that kind of business thing.
Speaker 5: We're humans.
Speaker 4: We're not bad, so we are bad. Oh we're bad,
Speaker 4: not bad at some things. We're well designed, revolved well, yes,
Speaker 4: it could be better though.
Speaker 5: We're working on that down Elon's working on that.
Speaker 4: But speaking of people who are doing the wrong thing,
Speaker 4: but right reveals here that there's this far too much.
Speaker 4: I always bring it back, far too much hysteria about
Speaker 4: the so called cheating. It's my dude, is American to
Speaker 4: do it? If I can capitalize in a situation, just
Speaker 4: justifies it. And home at the end, mister burns eye
Speaker 4: assist that we cheat. And you always hear that the
Speaker 4: Olympics have just wrapped up. Yeah, you know, I watched
Speaker 4: one sport for about fifteen minutes. I bought the fifteen
Speaker 4: dollar package from Stan didn't watch any of it. Nick,
Speaker 4: I'm like, the Olympics have finished. I'm always excited by
Speaker 4: the idea of the Olympics, and then they come around
Speaker 4: and we just watch mad Men. What.
Speaker 5: First of all, I can't I can't fault that. I
Speaker 5: mean watching we gave up on Lost. You gave up
Speaker 5: on the Lost.
Speaker 4: We got two seasons in season Finally of season two,
Speaker 4: I went to Nicola. I just don't tell much other
Speaker 4: stuff happening. Well, it's just it's stupid. The point that
Speaker 4: it lost me. Right, I was just one little quick
Speaker 4: grand viewers of Lost will understand. They want to get
Speaker 4: into this room. It's like a hatch hid the hatch,
Speaker 4: and they want to blow it up. This this guy Echo,
Speaker 4: mister Echo, wants to blow it up, right, yes, So
Speaker 4: he sets off this giant Dyna white bomb in this
Speaker 4: hallway where there's no escape, right, and he gets encased
Speaker 4: in the flames. Just this whole hallways full of flames.
Speaker 4: He's incinerated. Right. Five minutes later we come back, he's
Speaker 4: just laying on the floor. He's closed out of and burnt.
Speaker 4: His skin's not burned. I'm just like, I'm done. I'm
Speaker 4: just done. And we did. We just went through Disney
Speaker 4: Plus and read the descriptions of each episode and then
Speaker 4: we watched it. And we watched like the last fifteen
Speaker 4: minutes of the final episode, and I was like, thank god,
Speaker 4: we didn't commit six seasons to this ship. But then Madman.
Speaker 4: I was like, because I really want to start watching
Speaker 4: Madman again. So we started rewatching it yesterday and what
Speaker 4: a show?
Speaker 5: What a show?
Speaker 4: What's it on?
Speaker 5: Is which streamer?
Speaker 4: I have the physical cupies? I'm ready It's also on Netflix.
Speaker 4: Oh cool, yes, but I want to watch it with
Speaker 4: Calvin Cannies. We're going to do a TV launch port
Speaker 4: on mad Man. Maybe we should. Yeah, we'll throw it
Speaker 4: into the people. The current one is Cheers or Fraser,
Speaker 4: and at the moment Fraser is when oh, okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: I was kind of the point I wanted to do Cheers.
Speaker 4: One thing let people vote is that democracy doesn't work.
Speaker 5: It's a bad time to say that my choices were
Speaker 5: Cheers or Frasier. Not the pole should be between Cheers
Speaker 5: and Fraught. I thought they're two good options. They are
Speaker 5: two good options. It also means you didn't do the work,
Speaker 5: you didn't come.
Speaker 4: Up with them. No, well, I was going to suggest Cheers,
Speaker 4: and then you're just to Cheers a prasi and I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, you've already suggested one of mine. So
Speaker 4: I just I'll clean the loser. You can clean the winner.
Speaker 4: You say that, okay, fine, No, it's good. What do
Speaker 4: you think of I thought of wholesome sitcom Cheers just
Speaker 4: coming straight to my mind, wholesome sickcoms because of the
Speaker 4: theme song. I guess no, just the ever vibe with
Speaker 4: the show is just wholesome, isn't it? Norm to you?
Speaker 4: My hero is it's that guy.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it is at the very end
Speaker 5: of the cheers grand sequence, but it's the guy who's
Speaker 5: just he looks so happy, that guy. Yeah, everything's going
Speaker 5: that guy's way. Yeah, what today is?
Speaker 4: What a lord?
Speaker 5: Okay, where were we?
Speaker 4: He's better to reveal the horseless sleigh. He's like, well,
Speaker 4: you do know a lot about hitting. I'm older than you.
Speaker 4: And they seek when Homer gets on a lot of
Speaker 4: callbacks in this, so the all nuts is a bit
Speaker 4: of a callback. And then he says it call back
Speaker 4: to when Kyl says him seeking in the snow? Here
Speaker 4: is a call back to when Burns sunk in the
Speaker 4: snow with a gun? Or is it just them reusing gags?
Speaker 4: Let's just go a callback.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm trying to write a script at the moment.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to do this forever but committed for August,
Speaker 5: like get a whole bunch of shit down on paper.
Speaker 5: And I'm finding as I'm going, he's.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, this relates. It's even unconscious I'm that good.
Speaker 4: But I'm like, oh, oh this can relate to that. Oh,
Speaker 4: I've got themes.
Speaker 5: And ideas that are calling back and echoing all through
Speaker 5: this thing. So I'm gonna get him the benefit the
Speaker 5: doubt and say it's all deliberate.
Speaker 4: It's a callback. But they went back at the visitor center.
Speaker 4: Now this is where Marge is looking for Barton Lisa.
Speaker 4: I just never got this. I don't understand the point
Speaker 4: of it, the whole John John Muir Moire whatever. It is,
Speaker 4: him being sort of slowing his each and March being
Speaker 4: sort of scared by the video it was. It's the
Speaker 4: most bizarre scene. Yeah, it feels more if I'd rather
Speaker 4: a chalk gag this said of this, it feels more
Speaker 4: like texture than anything that actually moves the story forward.
Speaker 4: I think they're trying to say, oh, it's a weird play.
Speaker 4: They said before.
Speaker 5: About how look how funding has been cut and there's
Speaker 5: nothing fun anymore. They haven't had a chance to update
Speaker 5: or upgrade this in a very long time. This is
Speaker 5: stuff that was probably a huge hit in like nineteen
Speaker 5: thirty eight.
Speaker 4: I feel like this is Dan Castlenada made the funny
Speaker 4: voice in the writers. Oh we're gonna work that in somewhere.
Speaker 5: We're working in some way. I mean imagine like close
Speaker 5: to one hundred years ago. You know, you you don't
Speaker 5: have the television. You don't mean you don't know shit, like, wow,
Speaker 5: an expedition to the woods, fantastic, and that looks like
Speaker 5: a human being.
Speaker 4: It's not that, but it's talking to me. What's what?
Speaker 4: What devilry? Is this talking bad? Yeah?
Speaker 5: It would blow your fucking mind. But now they've got
Speaker 5: no money. It's like, oh, this is a big hit
Speaker 5: of seventy five years go.
Speaker 4: But and it's still But this was a projector right,
Speaker 4: this wasn't a statue.
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, but I'm talking about yeah, just exhibits and things.
Speaker 5: Just it was a big deal back.
Speaker 4: In the day.
Speaker 5: And you have not kept pace with the times. What's
Speaker 5: like by virtual being lazy or not having any money
Speaker 5: or something like that. I put on dinosaurs, the Hanson
Speaker 5: Jim handsOn dinosaurs, not the Mama the baby right for
Speaker 5: Allien now who likes dinosaurs, and they can't.
Speaker 4: Just quite get it. They're like, yeah, but they're not
Speaker 4: real dinosaurs. I'm like, yeah, but you do understand that
Speaker 4: the magic it's got into making this show, they're real.
Speaker 4: They existed. I put the cartoon and I'm like, but
Speaker 4: that's that's not real.
Speaker 5: These seas are not real, but they're real.
Speaker 4: That there's people in there that this is. This is
Speaker 4: robots and stuff.
Speaker 5: It's good that you've been big up being Elliott and
Speaker 5: his curiosity and his obviously big brain that he got
Speaker 5: from his dad and of course Nikola Nikola, but he's
Speaker 5: still got to grasp suspension of disbelief.
Speaker 4: We're not quite there. Whoa, we're halfway there. Watches Drussic
Speaker 4: Park now and he's like, yeah, I've watunate and he goes,
Speaker 4: they're not real, are there? I was like, no, they're
Speaker 4: not around. He's like, they look really like I.
Speaker 5: Know, should have been around ninety three games.
Speaker 4: That's the beauty of the Joussy Park one. It's like
Speaker 4: there's not much cgi That fucking t rex was there.
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, it was terrifying. Oh you were there, but
Speaker 4: I mean blew our mind. I was seeing for the
Speaker 4: first time, going, I know that other ship ain't real,
Speaker 4: but that's a fucking dinosaur.
Speaker 5: All right. But we're back at the place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, margin she's looking around the visitor center. This is
Speaker 4: a center and she says, we're to find my kids.
Speaker 4: So I like it. It's called mant useful. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: just find that funny goes to find them on the
Speaker 4: chair lift and the chances finding them are slim to nils.
Speaker 4: There they are and they wave smiders waving as well.
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, what happens now? Actually, you know, folds
Speaker 5: into my theory about Yeah, they just can't upgrade anything.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, there's Breton, No how the world?
Speaker 4: It's just Margin's story. The ranger is actually quite funny throughout,
Speaker 4: isn't it? Yeah? What was was making with her at
Speaker 4: this point?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 4: Was maggy? Was she holding making on the chair lift?
Speaker 4: Seems dangerous? I don't remember, Yeah, not quite sure. But
Speaker 4: Burns and Homer now celebrating. You know, you're the richest
Speaker 4: guy I know, more than Lenny. So is that was
Speaker 4: that sort of thing that Lenny was apparently rich? Covermber
Speaker 4: There was a gag where he's got a wife and
Speaker 4: who knows. They change it all the time. Sometimes he says,
Speaker 4: don't put in tep people the rich. Who knows? But
Speaker 4: our Burns here, have I skipped something? Oh it actually
Speaker 4: I've skipped Something've skippedhere birds and have arrived.
Speaker 8: We have several hours before the others arrive. Let's see
Speaker 8: we get comfitte. Now we have electricity. This propeane tank
Speaker 8: wills the players were heat and this doorner properly turned
Speaker 8: will allow us access to the cabin.
Speaker 2: No going through the window for us.
Speaker 4: And therese where the kids are just annoying with this.
Speaker 4: My favorite bit was Bart saying knows gold dis mountain,
Speaker 4: I don't know, I need check. What did you find
Speaker 4: that had like a spread? A true? True? Are there
Speaker 4: any animals that aren't injured? And there's and there's damn
Speaker 4: virus whatever. Now they're celebrating and then I lock the
Speaker 4: you're the riches go, I know, I trade it all
Speaker 4: for a little more. Long's philosophy are life?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And they boast about a good sit yes. And
Speaker 4: as you're sitting in the sheet, it's like this when
Speaker 4: you just relax, you're like this is great.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's like you ever tried this one?
Speaker 4: We'll our couch now has zero gravity excuse me. So
Speaker 4: basically it feels like you're floating when you're laying down
Speaker 4: now it feels like you're floating in water essentially, not
Speaker 4: not water like a waterbed, but you feel like you're waitless.
Speaker 4: You realize that when we've wrapped up these episodes, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna go other sit like it's it's weird because you
Speaker 4: go on back and then because your legs are on
Speaker 4: the foot rest, if you just look not slightly the
Speaker 4: legs rest coach, they're sort of uplight that, so your
Speaker 4: legs are sort of like elevated a bit. So you're
Speaker 4: sort of laying there and you're like the back massage happening,
Speaker 4: and it's like, I don't it looks like you were
Speaker 4: doing home this thing where it's like, oh, yeah, see, Homer, Homer,
Speaker 4: because you said Nicola and I were very rare treat
Speaker 4: ourselves to things like, you know, a nice couch or
Speaker 4: a nice bed. So when we were just like you
Speaker 4: know what, we'll got shot of the catch, we went,
Speaker 4: let's just fucking treat ourselves. We bought the most expensive
Speaker 4: gag they had with all the glitz and the glamor,
Speaker 4: and then arrived. We're all like, good on us, well done,
Speaker 4: We've earned this. We looked over the kids and just
Speaker 4: a fucking mess, and I was like, we have earned
Speaker 4: this a lot. Yeah, but yes, as I said that,
Speaker 4: the celebrating the good sit, the only hard part is
Speaker 4: getting up. So he shows him the move to get
Speaker 4: the dip and he's now in his debt. Then they
Speaker 4: cheers with the wine glass, which causes the avalanche. It's
Speaker 4: a nice to Act too. Act three the act too
Speaker 4: and Act three is trying to get out of this situation,
Speaker 4: a good point.
Speaker 5: I liked how Homer is just you would think that
Speaker 5: this is going to set up the avalanche, but no,
Speaker 5: it's the thing of the champage glasses. It's an obvious gag,
Speaker 5: but it's a good gag.
Speaker 4: Lenny, here's something, He's like, here's something did I? I
Speaker 4: don't know? So you can kind of see that Lenny
Speaker 4: would be annoying. But you know this it felt out
Speaker 4: of nowhere a little bit, didn't it.
Speaker 5: This antagonism, Yeah, felt new and quite frankly I didn't
Speaker 5: like it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never liked it. Home and then checks the
Speaker 4: doors and the windows and see the snow's coming in
Speaker 4: like that. It's felt very classic Simpson to go back
Speaker 4: to the door again. Yes, and then they realized there's
Speaker 4: no way out. The Burns sends the telegraph the SOS
Speaker 4: and where does it go?
Speaker 5: What's his name?
Speaker 4: Moose? Samuel Moore? Samuel Moore, that's right. The exhibit ye
Speaker 4: in the museum has a little cob web on it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 4: no one's going to museums. But I feel like I
Speaker 4: feel like museums are made. If someone of ad comeback,
Speaker 4: I feel like they're not cool. But people more kind
Speaker 4: to go out to the museums Now I think so. Yeah,
Speaker 4: But for a while there, maybe it's just my age.
Speaker 4: At the time, I was like, I gone to a museum.
Speaker 4: Now that I'm older, I'm like, you know what, it's
Speaker 4: a good museum. Good god. Oh, I knew I was
Speaker 4: getting old. We're driving on the other day and I
Speaker 4: was like, hey, kids, No, when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: this Nicholas like, look at you. This did I was like,
Speaker 4: oh no, I'm old man Dando. I was like this
Speaker 4: when I used to live and this is you know,
Speaker 4: when I was a kid, this was here, and then
Speaker 4: that was that. Good Times said some take a good
Speaker 4: look around because it's your hometown. Lenny and Carlon arrive,
Speaker 4: but there's nothing there. They can't find it. Oh maybe
Speaker 4: it was like metaphorical. They said there'd be sandwiches. If
Speaker 4: you're probably sandwiches and there's no sandwiches, you would be
Speaker 4: somewhat disappointed.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something when we when we wrap
Speaker 5: up recording today, I am a good sandwich. Well, yeah,
Speaker 5: because I'm going to Melbourne tonight to see a previous
Speaker 5: screening of Alien Romulus.
Speaker 4: Oh why was my invite? Probably could have it, probably
Speaker 4: could have come along. Okay, next time, next time. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm going to see Trap. See I haven't I haven't
Speaker 4: seen tramp. Oh I'm going to see it. I'm seeing
Speaker 4: it tomorrow tonight with Nico on Tuesday tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, on day night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's very nice because like, what are we going
Speaker 4: to have seen? I'm like, trap? Is this the first trap?
Speaker 4: And they know it's just a trap, but you know
Speaker 4: he is kind of a first trap and you're going.
Speaker 5: To the first step three. That's what you should have said.
Speaker 5: She it's implied. Yes, So I'm seeing that tonight. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna leave a bit early and I'm going to stop
Speaker 5: by Rocos Delicatestan in Yarraville because they.
Speaker 4: Do a fucking excellent sand Shout out to Rocos.
Speaker 5: Shout out to Rocos, friend of the pot. I'm the
Speaker 5: only friend of guys.
Speaker 4: I'm going to quickly look up Rocos the Rocos Delhi Yes,
Speaker 4: in Reville. Is it a forty five minute detour? Like
Speaker 4: the fucking donut shot was that time? No, but I
Speaker 4: might go to that donut think one hundred and sixty
Speaker 4: thousand follows on Instagram. It must be, it must be decent.
Speaker 4: Oh they do it just just one store, Yeah, tiny
Speaker 4: little deli. Holy fuck, look at those sandwiches, know right,
Speaker 4: that's insane.
Speaker 5: Use your magic editing skills, you or Zach with the
Speaker 5: video to sort of cut in just a not even
Speaker 5: subliminal shot.
Speaker 4: Of like sandwich. There's just there's a timeless of them
Speaker 4: putting all this excess meat on a roll. Don't Is
Speaker 4: that just how much you get on a normal one?
Speaker 4: Or that this like double meat, double meat, double meat.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's double meat, but you the basic
Speaker 5: role is comes with you know, all the anti pasto
Speaker 5: stuff and you can put either two or three meats
Speaker 5: in there and we.
Speaker 4: Get Proshuoto and mortar Della. That's insane. Really, we need
Speaker 4: to get these guys friends in the pot. I think
Speaker 4: so I'm gonna starting other people say, hey want to be
Speaker 4: fans in the parks? And how often do we talk
Speaker 4: about sandwiches all the time? We should be eating sandwiches
Speaker 4: right now. On the podcast Rocks if you're listening or watching,
Speaker 4: say us some sandwiches. Yeah, I will take a picture
Speaker 4: of myself with the sandwich. I'll try to please don't no, no,
Speaker 4: but I'll try to be like the Homer one. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 4: you have to do a time lapse and like after
Speaker 4: a week, Louise, I'd like to be lowered the sandwich
Speaker 4: for a minute. You're gonna eat it, yes, but anyway, yes,
Speaker 4: so I'm definitely going to rock as for a good
Speaker 4: sandwich seems like a good decision. Yes, all right? Are
Speaker 4: you going a message from Zach? How are you going
Speaker 4: to Zach? I won't read it what he says as guys,
Speaker 4: shut up yet, tangents please no more? But yeah, I
Speaker 4: sort of saying, so basically, they think there's gonna be
Speaker 4: sandwiches there, and there's no sandwiches. Yep son. We panned
Speaker 4: down and see birds in Homer a stake. By the way,
Speaker 4: did I mention I'm gonna have a sandwich? Lad did? Yes?
Speaker 4: From Roccos Dali in Narroville. So they panned down and
Speaker 4: we see birds and Homer are digging their way out.
Speaker 4: So I'm not the digger I promised. I was started supervising. Yes,
Speaker 4: I can start supervised supervisor's home. They get out. Hope
Speaker 4: it does a good job here. Home is actually good
Speaker 4: in this episode. It makes mistakes so that it brings
Speaker 4: the family. But like that was innocent of course. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then you know Burns an associated what am I king?
Speaker 4: Burns and teammate. They get out, They give a high five,
Speaker 4: which causes another avalanche, and if you noticed, just before
Speaker 4: the commercial break, he says, don't and then another avalanche
Speaker 4: starts just before the commercial break. We come back there,
Speaker 4: speaking very quietly because they're causing more avalanches. What happened?
Speaker 2: You think when we yield because another avalanche.
Speaker 3: We should be careful not to speak unless it's absolutely
Speaker 3: persively necessary.
Speaker 9: You are gosh avalancious than I think, Dame Adopt.
Speaker 4: Let's go. So they start blaming each other, now that
Speaker 4: the last one was your faults and now Kevin favs
Speaker 4: starting to get in and this is this is exactly
Speaker 4: what would happen after a while, probably about this quickly,
Speaker 4: but after a whid be like, oh, well, if.
Speaker 5: You're in a tense and possibly life threatening situation, you know,
Speaker 5: friends really are, Yeah, there's a chance you're gonna blame
Speaker 5: it on someone. It's like, I wouldn't even be here
Speaker 5: if it wasn't exactly that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: Does he say? Is this where says it's like so
Speaker 4: so buttons? Yes? What the Burns? So Lenny and car
Speaker 4: then find the new cabin. They think, well, I think
Speaker 4: this must be it because there's nothing else around. Burns
Speaker 4: and finds the Berzuka Joe comic which he read seven
Speaker 4: years ago, and the Hammer suggests maybe should build snow
Speaker 4: men we built real man. Even Homer's like, oh shit,
Speaker 4: this guy.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, he's doing a whole.
Speaker 4: It's the Spirits moose. Yes, get in. Yeah, everyone is
Speaker 4: cold in the other cabin. Why is that cold? There's
Speaker 4: a fire. Shouldn't it be fine? But it's no propane,
Speaker 4: I guess, and Lenny chucks the moose in. They walk in,
Speaker 4: Spiers and the kids. The moose is on fire. Good.
Speaker 4: I don't care. I'm last. I'm going to be fired. No,
Speaker 4: you're not last. I just love the way that they
Speaker 4: always refer to birds as birds by and help I
Speaker 4: have made it.
Speaker 5: I think Lenny really wants to like Burns or or
Speaker 5: just wants his approval. I means everyone's approval, which is
Speaker 5: based solely on the fact that the fact that he
Speaker 5: just called Burns and also the thumbs up there.
Speaker 4: Yes, there's all my evidence. It's just a nice guy.
Speaker 4: But I feel like they made Lenny pathetic as the
Speaker 4: seasons went on, as opposed to as growing When I
Speaker 4: was growing up, it always felt like, who's the one
Speaker 4: Simpsons character you'd want to be as your friend. It
Speaker 4: just felt like Lenny. Lenny was the one. You just
Speaker 4: felt like it feel like you'd have your back, You'd
Speaker 4: always be around, hey len Cover watching footy? Yeah, sure go,
Speaker 4: you nothing else to do, Like you feel he'd always
Speaker 4: be there when you want him, And then it's made
Speaker 4: not there when you don't. Yes, and then it has
Speaker 4: made him annoying pathetic as the show went on. But
Speaker 4: so they've realized here that Homer and Birds are trapped
Speaker 4: in the cabin and Spinders is concerned about Burns, and
Speaker 4: are the kids concerned about Homer? Obviously, then they're building
Speaker 4: their snowmen. He's less a snowmen than a guards got
Speaker 4: full toowty lips. Yes, he has indeed, what fifty meters
Speaker 4: or fifty miles fifty meters of small intens and he
Speaker 4: says fifty miles, though, does he yeah, because I was
Speaker 4: just thinking about the coming. Surely that can't be right.
Speaker 4: He says, small intestine? How long small intest and is
Speaker 4: twenty two feet seven meters on average? Okay, he does
Speaker 4: say fifty miles, though, it says, Well says this is miles.
Speaker 4: I'm certain I was just like that seems like a lot.
Speaker 4: That's a lot of smaller. So then he says, well,
Speaker 4: we'll managed to stay off cabin fever for a few hours,
Speaker 4: and Homer suggests dressing them. Yes, let's do that. So
Speaker 4: they take their clothes off to dress these snowmen. Burns
Speaker 4: stinks look at them with their cloves makias and makes
Speaker 4: home a paranoid as well, what do we do? Wouldn't
Speaker 4: you like to know? Burn's lost his mind? Yes, yes.
Speaker 4: The Ranger and Margin arrive at the cabin and they realize, Hey,
Speaker 4: the other cabin should be over there. I know this
Speaker 4: is the Ranger station. I'll like the get my way.
Speaker 4: You were drunk, where's Ranger or whatever? I'm right here
Speaker 4: behind and drunk. They realize the cabin's gone, though.
Speaker 6: The only other cabin is right over there.
Speaker 2: Huh, look at all these avalanches. Do you think they
Speaker 2: could have buried the cabin.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 6: They didn't come here for the Mountain Music Festival March
Speaker 6: fourteenth to eighteenth.
Speaker 4: He reminds me of remember the b guy, you know,
Speaker 4: the guy that's just like quiet little two quite remember
Speaker 4: the guys that worked at the bee Hive and got
Speaker 4: the sugar. That's right, Simpson, you die burns in Homer
Speaker 4: then have their stare off. He's trying to hypnotize me
Speaker 4: the good Las Vegas. Well, I've always been intrigued by
Speaker 4: the idea of hypnotism, and gone, I don't believe it,
Speaker 4: but I feel like I have to try it, just
Speaker 4: to just to confirm with myself, to just just to
Speaker 4: make sure, because I don't believe it's true.
Speaker 5: Right, But how would you know?
Speaker 4: But you wouldn't. This is the thing. If I, Nicko
Speaker 4: would have to be there, right, and if I get
Speaker 4: hypnotized and remember it, Nicola would wouldn't bullshit hold the
Speaker 4: camera up? Yeah, yeah, so you actually did clock like
Speaker 4: a chicken? Yeah yeah, yeah, you dropped your pants and
Speaker 4: you're saying what my gray may show it what she
Speaker 4: used to be. You know what I mean, just you
Speaker 4: don't let me hypnotized. That was no, but Burns then says,
Speaker 4: you know, I think use me as a carcass and
Speaker 4: ribe me down the hill. So they have a big fight.
Speaker 4: Burns genuinely tries to kill Homer Hill the fire poker.
Speaker 4: But this, this is a bit where they've got the
Speaker 4: imaginary army's behind them, right, yeah, political powers. I never
Speaker 4: liked that line for some reason.
Speaker 5: I just didn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't feel home. I did it no, and it
Speaker 4: didn't feel like much of a gag. Just feels a
Speaker 4: bit silly. Yeah. I don't know anyway what Sportswater thinks
Speaker 4: about it. I would just love to know what did here.
Speaker 4: Probably not his gag, now maybe it was his. I
Speaker 4: don't think it was his game completely rewrote it. He
Speaker 4: would have had the cabin fever aspect to it. I'd
Speaker 4: just love to know how Sportsword would handle this. I
Speaker 4: always thought that was a bit odd as well. John Buddy,
Speaker 4: come on the show, let us know. I don't have
Speaker 4: to be here. Give me you and Dando hit the head,
Speaker 4: but he cuts open the the propane. Yes, Hank Kill style.
Speaker 4: That's what I was thinking every time. It's all propane,
Speaker 4: and they realized about to go down. Homer buddy. They
Speaker 4: embraced the house flies off, completely unrealistic, this would never happen.
Speaker 4: But whatever, what the ranger, Let's take him over to
Speaker 4: him with the children. Kids, Your dad's going to be
Speaker 4: just okay. Put on your cop handing gloves. You've got
Speaker 4: some frozen bodies out there, but but buys it here.
Speaker 4: At least that's gonna be okay. Then Lisa sees the
Speaker 4: cabin and knows he hits a shrew on the way through.
Speaker 4: Yeahs hits on the shrewes home appraiser did protect his
Speaker 4: roucket house and all within this everyone bails. What's Lenny say?
Speaker 4: Keketron's breaks whatever, whatever, and the cabin stops next to them.
Speaker 4: Lenny Yeah, walks out and uh, marg kids and Burns
Speaker 4: reminds them it's still a competition. Last one in gets fired.
Speaker 4: They all run in. Lenny is last one in, nuts
Speaker 4: Nuts gets fired. Then he asked, do we learn about teamwork?
Speaker 4: We did? Letny's not fired after all? Lenny falls in
Speaker 4: the hole nuts.
Speaker 8: Well, Simpson, I must see, once you've been through something
Speaker 8: like that with the person, you never want to see
Speaker 8: that person again.
Speaker 2: You said it, Yeah, weirdo.
Speaker 4: I like this ending in the sense that it sets
Speaker 4: up the status quo, but it also doesn't They can
Speaker 4: go either way because this ending here is very open ended.
Speaker 4: Smithers and Burns might still like each other, but they
Speaker 4: probably won't. And I like the way that's loves to
Speaker 4: open ended like that, because do you mean Homer and
Speaker 4: Burns or Smithers Smiths. I meant Hammer and Burns. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the way they're sort of like staring at laughing staring
Speaker 4: because the thing is it gives you the chance to
Speaker 4: and they do take this or try to have more
Speaker 4: Homer Burns stories going forward. Well, it's it's like the
Speaker 4: ending of the Breakfast club. Well you yes, that's the
Speaker 4: end of the Breakfast.
Speaker 5: But they have a bit where it's like, you know,
Speaker 5: when we see each other in the halls on Monday,
Speaker 5: will we even acknowledge each other?
Speaker 4: So I don't know if we will.
Speaker 5: I don't care.
Speaker 4: I reckon they didn't hang out, but they just acknowledged.
Speaker 4: There's an unspoken except from Bender John Bender, Yes, not
Speaker 4: Bend to the Robot. I don't know. But Bender is
Speaker 4: so cool. He's the bully, right he's But yes, I
Speaker 4: feel like though, if they needed his help, he'd probably
Speaker 4: help them.
Speaker 5: He'd probably step up. He's underneath all the bravado on
Speaker 5: the there's smoke up, Johnny, He's probably solemn enough.
Speaker 4: Dude.
Speaker 5: Yes, have you watched the documentary Brats about the Back
Speaker 5: Have on Disney Play?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I saw the ad for it.
Speaker 5: We got together for more. Margaret Mary's third ninety fourth
Speaker 5: ye celebration on last the celebration on last Sunday.
Speaker 4: The birthday is this Thursday. Happy Birthday, Margaret Mary.
Speaker 5: And my sister Margin was.
Speaker 4: Saying, if you say brats, it's terrible, and we went
Speaker 4: off on Andrew mccarthury. Have you seen it? I have not,
Speaker 4: but I've read, but I'd read a bit about it,
Speaker 4: just like I don't like it. But do you and
Speaker 4: your sister like the same things?
Speaker 5: Margot?
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, the other one fuck? Margaret and I had
Speaker 4: kind of similar taste in a lot of in the
Speaker 4: long regards. All right, Well, that is our review of
Speaker 4: Mountain of Madness, A fantastic episode of the SIMPCE. It's
Speaker 4: hard to go wrong when you go in like season
Speaker 4: four through eight, isn't it. There's not too many duds, No,
Speaker 4: there's a couple off we didn't get the Duds, a
Speaker 4: couple of episodes that I just really don't like. I
Speaker 4: also don't like they're not bad. It is my least favorite, okay,
Speaker 4: my least favorite here it is, guys. My least favorite
Speaker 4: Simpsons episode from the Golden era is My Sister, My Sitter,
Speaker 4: where Lisa becomes the babysitter of Bart and Bart is
Speaker 4: just for no reason being a shithead and ruining it
Speaker 4: for Lisa, and it's just spiteful and it's not funny.
Speaker 5: I remember the synoptis and the vague shape of it,
Speaker 5: but I might have to go back and rewatch it,
Speaker 5: and then you and I.
Speaker 4: Can have a debate because I like Dana. This is
Speaker 4: one of the best. We'll soon find out find out
Speaker 4: or am I go?
Speaker 5: Dando? You were right, as I often do.
Speaker 4: Now I threw out to the patrons quickly for some
Speaker 4: questions from out the badness? Should you get through a couple?
Speaker 2: Bail is here.
Speaker 4: Dan Stazinski, who we got it right? Yes, we got
Speaker 4: it right.
Speaker 5: He says, what did he just get married and just
Speaker 5: had a kid?
Speaker 4: Now it's the kid. Dan says, what would your first
Speaker 4: actions be if you were snowed in depends what you
Speaker 4: were snowed in as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good point. I probably killed Dando on
Speaker 5: Eddie's body.
Speaker 4: I don't think I can ever result of can It'd
Speaker 4: have to be like last straw, don't you think?
Speaker 5: Well, given that I just said, I would nobly sackos
Speaker 5: myself in a burning building or something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would probably not. Ben Lionzo says, have you
Speaker 4: ever had to team up with a boss for something
Speaker 4: before potentially realizing how could? Have you ever had to
Speaker 4: team up with a boss before? Boss for something before
Speaker 4: potentially realizing how you could take advantage of the situation?
Speaker 4: So being is being with the boss and a team
Speaker 4: or whatever tend with the boss?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: I never have.
Speaker 4: I feel like the bosses always keep themselves separate, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think that's usually the way or the safest way
Speaker 4: is and I've generally been my own boss. Yes, Teleah
Speaker 4: in Riquez, How well would you to survive checking up
Speaker 4: a mountain like the characters? Would you say the way
Speaker 4: the ranger acted towards the kids was appropriate or would
Speaker 4: you rather kids face the hard, cold truth? And who
Speaker 4: would be support? Who would be who would support you?
Speaker 4: In who would be support you in of your snowman
Speaker 4: army delusions? I don't understand that, like question so toly,
Speaker 4: who would be in your snowman army? Whould be in
Speaker 4: the army? That is a delusion. I would have all right,
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety eight Bill Golbo from WW. I would have
Speaker 4: Connor McGregor. He's a madman.
Speaker 5: He's sort of a very tough person.
Speaker 4: Who would you have? I would have Dave Batista Batista? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: I can't pronounce the guy's their name, Francis Nagano. He's
Speaker 4: like an MMA guy.
Speaker 5: I forgot. He's from an African country and he's just
Speaker 5: a fucking slaughter house. Okay, yeah, I don't know. But
Speaker 5: it would be fighters, essentially, fighters. I don't think we'd
Speaker 5: have too many diplomats.
Speaker 4: On political Political powers are useless in a war this
Speaker 4: when it comes to the actual fist fighting.
Speaker 5: That's true. Yeah, I mean you would think that if
Speaker 5: you got political powers, is going to be diplomacy. But no,
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, Abraham Lincoln iss, let's get ready to rumble.
Speaker 5: This was like a three part question from Talia say,
Speaker 5: let's wand the tape back of it. What was the
Speaker 5: first one.
Speaker 4: How would you and I go survive your mountain like
Speaker 4: the character? I think we do.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, be fine, depending on the mountain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I applied. I nearly got through. I got through
Speaker 4: to the final round of the Amazing Race once, like
Speaker 4: to get onto the show with my old friend Michael.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We sent it out an audition tape. We had to
Speaker 4: do sort of like a zoom call with him a
Speaker 4: Skype I think it was at the time. It's like
Speaker 4: twelve fifteen years ago. And then we got past that
Speaker 4: and then we're down to like the final step, and
Speaker 4: we didn't because Michael was that Michael couldn't get something
Speaker 4: to do with his work. But we wouldn't have got
Speaker 4: through anyway, but you wouldn't It worked out that we wouldn't.
Speaker 4: We didn't get through, but even if we did, we
Speaker 4: wouldn't have been able to do it something to do
Speaker 4: with Michael's work. Yeah, okay, Yeah, I applied to be
Speaker 4: on it and they said.
Speaker 5: You're too amazing. Well, well, I said, look, I'm not
Speaker 5: I'm not leaving Australia. I'm not going to be any
Speaker 5: foreign country. And they said, well, you're too much of
Speaker 5: an amazing racist to be on the Amazing Race. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: but yeah, I've always known this was that gag worth it.
Speaker 5: I don't know you let me know.
