Speaker 1: Oh my god, survival he hit him.
Speaker 2: This goes on for a while.
Speaker 3: Call mea kill joy, but I think that because this
Speaker 3: is not to my taste, no one else should be
Speaker 3: able to enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Fourfinger Discount dude.
Speaker 5: Welcome to four figure Discount, where this week we are
Speaker 5: reviewing episode three of season twenty one. It is a
Speaker 5: great wife Hope. I'm Dando and I am guy. He
Speaker 5: is Welcome to the podcast that never taps out.
Speaker 2: It never does. Indeed, we felt like it from time
Speaker 2: to time. Oh yeah, it is a podcast. Work can
Speaker 2: be hard relatively early on a Wednesday morning, it's actually no,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm feeling pumped. I feeling supernatural to supernatural Tuesday,
Speaker 2: even though it's a Wednesday.
Speaker 5: I was telling you yesterday that I'm eating better, at
Speaker 5: exercising more and just getting extra sleep. But I was
Speaker 5: saying to you the big thing for me was I
Speaker 5: was drinking too much Pepsi max. And even though it's
Speaker 5: no sugar Pepsi max, it's still syrup in water. Of
Speaker 5: course it's not good for you. So now I'm just
Speaker 5: drinking a lot more water, and it's like, oh shit,
Speaker 5: whatever everything they always said to you, good foods healthy
Speaker 5: diet and water.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you do have to maintain that for an ongoing
Speaker 2: kind of period for it to actually have those positive effects.
Speaker 5: But but we're getting there baby steps, of course, yeah,
Speaker 5: of course, of course.
Speaker 2: I mean I've said this to you many times. I
Speaker 2: mean I relapse all the time, but every once in
Speaker 2: a while I was sort of go on a bit
Speaker 2: of a kick like, oh yeah, eating better, moving the body, hydrating. Wow,
Speaker 2: they actually do work.
Speaker 5: Yes, indeed, Well, thank you to everyone who was watching
Speaker 5: us on YouTube right now watching us, make sure you
Speaker 5: give us a subscribe, give us a thumbs up, and
Speaker 5: come and blow and tell us what you think of
Speaker 5: the review you're about to hear of the Great Wife.
Speaker 2: Hope.
Speaker 5: Now, as an MMA fan or not anymore, I've gone
Speaker 5: way from now becoming a dad. You can't watch you
Speaker 5: see around with the kids. It's just when I was
Speaker 5: a teen, like say, late teens, early twenties, UFC was
Speaker 5: a big deal. And when this episode aired back in
Speaker 5: two thousand and nine, I was a big MMA fan
Speaker 5: from say seven to so maybe eleven. That's when I
Speaker 5: was a really big run into MA. It's when it
Speaker 5: was really starting to hit its peak and I thought
Speaker 5: this episode did a good job of doing satire on
Speaker 5: UFC or MMA in general. But also it didn't. It
Speaker 5: wasn't quite realistic, not that realistic satire should be realistic.
Speaker 5: But iatched it and enjoyed it, and then I listened,
Speaker 5: I've read what Dana White, the owner of UFC said,
Speaker 5: or the CEO did you already said on Wikipedia why
Speaker 5: he didn't like it? So he wrote, well, he said
Speaker 5: the president of the president issues and you know, the
Speaker 5: president of Ultimate Fighting Championship. He told reporters that he
Speaker 5: when the episode aired that he did not like the episode.
Speaker 5: He added, people like the MMA media always try to
Speaker 5: tell me what that were mainstream. Did you see that
Speaker 5: Simpsons episode. Chuck Ladale, who's in the episode, he was
Speaker 5: a big start at the time. He signs an autograph
Speaker 5: for somebody and he says that'll be forty five dollars.
Speaker 5: He actually says twenty five dollars. That'll be forty five
Speaker 5: dollars please. The sport doesn't like that at all. Then
Speaker 5: the promoter of the show fights Marge Simpson and the
Speaker 5: octagne sucker punches are in the face and then says,
Speaker 5: you're the only woman I've ever hit that I didn't
Speaker 5: love that's the way mainstream looks at us and thinks
Speaker 5: of us. And you know that, Oh it's got a
Speaker 5: good point because I know the being the women's side
Speaker 5: of things. It's like, that's one story, but just the
Speaker 5: whole the promoter getting into the octagone to fight March,
Speaker 5: that's more pro wrestling. And I did read that he
Speaker 5: was more of a portrayal of Vince McMahon as opposed
Speaker 5: to Dana White. So I think they kind of got
Speaker 5: the world's a bit blurred there.
Speaker 2: It does sound that way, and I think there was
Speaker 2: probably a bit of a conflation of all those things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: saying I think any sort of contextport, any violent contextport
Speaker 2: was generally regarded as you know, all of one piece,
Speaker 2: whether it was boxing, wrestling, or in even though the
Speaker 2: three things are sort of completely different and seem to
Speaker 2: have completely different cultures in a lot of ways. So yeah, look,
Speaker 2: White's got a point.
Speaker 5: I guess there's a lot different now because I feel
Speaker 5: like you, back in two thousand and nine, that was
Speaker 5: a very valid statement. UFC was trying to very much
Speaker 5: still steer clear of we are not pro wrestling, we
Speaker 5: are the opposite.
Speaker 2: Were more real.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing where I feel like in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty five, you're watching it and combat sports have become
Speaker 5: a gimmick. We've got Mike Tyson coming out of retirement,
Speaker 5: Jake Balls fighting whoever he wants to fight. Isn't it
Speaker 5: kind of agregor didn't he fight Mayweather? That I vaguely
Speaker 5: recall that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seemed boxing in particularly has become very gimmicky. Yeah,
Speaker 2: boxing was seemingly dying on the vin Unfortunately, it seemed
Speaker 2: like UFC and MMA was really taking its spot. At
Speaker 2: no one watched boxing anymore my age at the time,
Speaker 2: when I was early twenties. Well, and I think Tyson's
Speaker 2: the one who said he was the one who actually sort
Speaker 2: of gave Jake Baulls the one who boxes, right Logan
Speaker 2: the wrestler.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're doing well for themselves, man. Yeah, they appreciate
Speaker 5: the hustle at least. Yeah, I guess, so you can
Speaker 5: do that.
Speaker 2: The wrestling, she's genuinely good at it.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Look, they're putting in the hours, there's no two ways
Speaker 2: about that. And the Yeah, the master market, there's good.
Speaker 2: More power to them for that, I guess. But yeah,
Speaker 2: Tyson is certainly one who said he gave Jake Paul
Speaker 2: his props because you know, he's getting eyes on boxing
Speaker 2: again because MMA was very much taking spot and so
Speaker 2: and succeeding boxing as the premiere sort of punching sport.
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, wrestling feels very much like its
Speaker 2: own thing in its own corner. It's more sports entertainment
Speaker 2: than sport. Your miles made vary on that when you know, when,
Speaker 2: depending on how you feel about it, they're athletes, but
Speaker 2: it's a pantomime. Oh yeah, certainly, you know it's got
Speaker 2: all these storylines and everything like that. All sports have
Speaker 2: their storylines. But yeah, wrestling feels very much in that
Speaker 2: in that way. Look, yeah, as I said, why it's
Speaker 2: got a point, I guess. I mean I'm not as
Speaker 2: well versed in MMA as you are. I was really surprised.
Speaker 2: Not long ago, a group of friends and I went out.
Speaker 2: We were going to watch the Cats play at some.
Speaker 5: Bar intent which is, for those who unaware, a local
Speaker 5: Australians football team.
Speaker 2: We weren't actually just going to go watch kittens, although
Speaker 2: that it would be much bad, that was like, can
Speaker 2: we just did that? Guards everyone can enjoy that. We
Speaker 2: end up going to a local bar in town, a
Speaker 2: sports bar, and it was all MMA all the time.
Speaker 2: It was on every screen. One of our friends used
Speaker 2: to be a cop now he works as a prison
Speaker 2: officer and he was like, there's bad vibes and he
Speaker 2: were leaving because yeah, he was just like this honestly
Speaker 2: could go from the screen to real life any second.
Speaker 2: I felt like that.
Speaker 5: We have a local venue called the Sporting Globe here
Speaker 5: in Geelong and we used to frequent it all the time.
Speaker 5: He used to like it and then UFC, paper, Vistakeet
Speaker 5: and bigger and he'd go there on a Sunday and
Speaker 5: it's just a bunch of young dudes with neck tattoo's
Speaker 5: just big on everywhere, screaming and came and like, oh,
Speaker 5: I mean they're getting old or is this just doesn't
Speaker 5: feel safe?
Speaker 2: Well, the first thing, yeah, the risk of putting a
Speaker 2: Cai bosh on a sponsorship. It was the Sporting Clock
Speaker 2: that we left quite immediately. Now we went to another
Speaker 2: place that also had big screens a lot of sport
Speaker 2: being on and they eventually switched over the football. But
Speaker 2: when we got there it was all MMA and I'm like,
Speaker 2: it's the it's these sport now for young people. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: having said that, I mean, look, maybe I'm just old,
Speaker 2: maybe out of touch, he says, maybe, I don't think
Speaker 2: I could name check any sort of premiere. In MMA Final,
Speaker 2: there's Colin McGregor. I guess he's the most high profile.
Speaker 5: Back when this episode aired, though, they were big names.
Speaker 5: But also I think I've just gotten out of touch
Speaker 5: with the with the with the with MMA in itself.
Speaker 5: But it did feel at this point in time two
Speaker 5: thousand and nine that the big stars of the UFC
Speaker 5: UFC sorry sorry, were mainstream stars and people knew who
Speaker 5: Chuck Ladell was and Rampage Jackson. Because they were they
Speaker 5: felt bigger than what they also the UFC. Now, is
Speaker 5: this the problem with sport in general is it's very
Speaker 5: diblute to there is just so much of everything. Well,
Speaker 5: so like cricket, for example, there's just so much cricket
Speaker 5: going on. Obviously there's big stars of cricket, but it's
Speaker 5: hard to keep up with everything.
Speaker 2: Well that's true. I mean, look, I was never a
Speaker 2: cricket guy, for instance, but growing up it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: I know who Dennis Lily is, I know who Rod
Speaker 2: marsh is. Look at the history books kids there. But
Speaker 2: I mean these were Jeff Thompson. These were like Australian heroes,
Speaker 2: whereas now it's like, I guess there's Pack Cummings. Pack
Speaker 2: Comings is a his huge star. Man, you doesn't watch
Speaker 2: cricket anymore, but yeah, he's the one that I know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no it doesn't know
Speaker 5: there's any Warnings anymore, that's true. Yeah, so who transcends
Speaker 5: the sport? My Pack Commings is a huge star. But
Speaker 5: if I said to my mom, who's Pack coming, she'd
Speaker 5: probably go, I've heard the name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she.
Speaker 5: Doesn't watched cricket, you know where my mom would know
Speaker 5: who Shane Warned because everyone just knew who Shane war was. Yeah,
Speaker 5: America listeners are going, who the hall of Shane warn.
Speaker 2: He's like Cricket's Tom Brady.
Speaker 5: Yeahah exactly, so rest in Peace warning, Yes exactly. But yeah,
Speaker 5: so this episode here we had this the MMA vibe.
Speaker 5: It was nice seeing them take them Mickey, I guess
Speaker 5: out of something that felt relevant at the time, and
Speaker 5: I thought it did a pretty good job. Dana white Wood,
Speaker 5: he said, aside, I do think the story served us purpose.
Speaker 5: I think They did a good job with Marge being
Speaker 5: able to kick ass but also stay true to herself. Yeah,
Speaker 5: even though we've kind of seen these stories before, So
Speaker 5: Itchy and Scratchy versus Marge with season two, that's where
Speaker 5: she wants to take down the tune show. That's pretty
Speaker 5: much what this is. I want to take down. If
Speaker 5: I don't enjoy it, no one il should be able to.
Speaker 2: It's all. It's all summed up in the line call
Speaker 2: me a kill joy. But because this is not to
Speaker 2: my taste, no one else should be able to enjoy it. It
Speaker 2: was my favorite moments. I thought was a good line.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite moments as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was very much the Itchy and Scratchy
Speaker 5: versus March episode from season two. Then we have like
Speaker 5: the Homer Day four which we reviewed with Cool Cabanna,
Speaker 5: fellow pro wrestler, the Homer boxing episode where it's just
Speaker 5: a very similar thing where it's a big fight built up.
Speaker 5: The family are worried about March in this one, Homer
Speaker 5: and that one and something saved the day blah blah
Speaker 5: blah blah. At least in that one there Homer gets rescued,
Speaker 5: March wins essentially, he sure, it's a motherly love that
Speaker 5: sort of is the saving grace and.
Speaker 2: Mama bear instant. You always hear those stories about ripperdor
Speaker 2: for car or yeah, it's like, oh much, I was
Speaker 2: trapped on a car and I found the strength to
Speaker 2: lift the car.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so, and I thought it was a good job.
Speaker 5: Was just that final scene as ridiculous as I was
Speaker 5: that the owner of this sport was going to be
Speaker 5: in the octagon and everyone's just cheering it.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean you're very part wrestling. You mentioned
Speaker 2: Dana White though as well. I mean, was he previously
Speaker 2: a fighter? Never? He's never been.
Speaker 5: He's never. I mean he's ripped and stuff, like, he
Speaker 5: looks like a big guy, it's fit, but he's not.
Speaker 5: He's never been a fighter. He's never He's deliberately said,
Speaker 5: I'm never going to be Evince McMahon in that rega.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to be going I'm the star.
Speaker 2: That's probably a good lesson to live by.
Speaker 5: But he's also done some bashit in his life there
Speaker 5: and White but whatever you want to say about that.
Speaker 5: But the thing is, he's not going to be on
Speaker 5: the poster. He's he's not Baty, Bob, Daniel whe or whatever.
Speaker 5: But it's not He's not going to be Dana White
Speaker 5: versus anybody. Probably wise on hundred percent, you can't take
Speaker 5: the sport seriously if you're not gonna be putting serious
Speaker 5: competitors in the ring.
Speaker 2: I think it wanted to take I think from very
Speaker 2: early on, this is a sport that wanted to be
Speaker 2: regarded as a as a sports, as more sport than entertainment.
Speaker 5: Do you know how it kicked off? You've c so
Speaker 5: it'd been around for a long time, and I remember
Speaker 5: it used to be very basic, right and throughout the nineties,
Speaker 5: it was just like, what is this ultimate fighting Championship?
Speaker 2: For mine? It was always kind of like, because I'm
Speaker 2: viewing light through the lens of pop culture, and you'd
Speaker 2: see a lot of B movies where it's like like,
Speaker 2: you know, oh, they're fighting in the octagon, but it
Speaker 2: was al always very underground. It was always like you'd
Speaker 2: have a boxer who killed someone in the ring or something.
Speaker 2: It's like, couldn't get real fights anymore, so we had
Speaker 2: to go fight underground in the octagon or something.
Speaker 5: They took the mickey out of it in Friends as well.
Speaker 5: One of Monica's boyfriends, John Favreu, Yeah, want to start.
Speaker 5: He wants to be an Ultimate Fighting I want to
Speaker 5: be an Ultimate Fighter.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and it had it had that sort of
Speaker 2: not necessarily outlaw cash. It was. It was more hardcore. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like, sure, you can box, but that's I'm being
Speaker 2: very dismissive, and yeah it's boxing, you got rules, you know,
Speaker 2: this is about survival of the fitter. It felt more primal.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and look I may be mistaken that, but yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right in that, friends, and that's something that certainly helped,
Speaker 2: I won't say necessarily bring it into the mainstream, but
Speaker 2: give it a little more prominence.
Speaker 5: What it was that kicked it off was that when
Speaker 5: I was in my teens, this show called The Ultimate
Speaker 5: Fighter started, which when reality shows were just sort of fresh,
Speaker 5: and it was just you know, they they it was
Speaker 5: so genius. I'm pretty sure Dana what was the man
Speaker 5: behind it. But basically they would have two teams competing
Speaker 5: that a professional fighter who's like the captain and whatever,
Speaker 5: and the other professional fighter. He picked his team and
Speaker 5: they would train these guys up. But they would create
Speaker 5: personalities because you get to know them because it's a
Speaker 5: reality show. So and then the winners of the UFS
Speaker 5: of these shows were going to the UFC, and that's
Speaker 5: how they formed relationships with the viewer and they turned
Speaker 5: these unknowns into stars. Where now there's just so much content.
Speaker 5: Where we all sat down and watched this one show
Speaker 5: that The Ultimate Fighter, so we all got to know
Speaker 5: the same people. Now there's just so much content to
Speaker 5: put out there. It's hard to keep tracking for your
Speaker 5: favorites and what nott of thing. But the Ultimate Fighter
Speaker 5: reality series, that is what spawned the UFC into what
Speaker 5: it is today, which.
Speaker 2: Is pretty savvy. What similar to is it Drive to Survive?
Speaker 2: What's the way? Yeah? The Formula one one? Yeah? Well yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean everyone says that. Now that's the one that
Speaker 2: really brought it. Every One was always popular, of course,
Speaker 2: but this really mainstream Yeah made it cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because all my mates or suddenly playing F one
Speaker 5: on the play session, I was like, you guys have
Speaker 5: never been interested in cars? Have you seen Drive to Survive?
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, it's the Ultimate Fighter, but in car
Speaker 5: form likewise, I mean, yeah, Netflix, the Netflix effect has
Speaker 5: been incredible in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: I mean, whether it was full swing with goal for
Speaker 2: it was a break point the tennis one. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: they know the break point actually got me more into tennis.
Speaker 2: I mean, of course I knew it, I knew it existed.
Speaker 5: But how many how many tennis players did you know
Speaker 5: before watching that? And now did you know after?
Speaker 2: Which? Yeah, you know what I mean. He gets even
Speaker 2: in the Brad Pitt movie F one, Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: you have a character name check and said like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I watched her up to Survive. I know what's going on.
Speaker 5: So yeah, because yeah, it became the cool thing. But
Speaker 5: I just thought, yeah, they did a good job of
Speaker 5: Marge getting to kick ass. He was still say true
Speaker 5: to herself. But I was not surprised that Carolyn Amine.
Speaker 2: Wrote this episode go Sound.
Speaker 5: I was like, ah, now, I know. It does feel
Speaker 5: like a very Carolyn Amine episode. She's very good at
Speaker 5: Tally March stories and particularly the relationship with Marge and
Speaker 5: Bart and being a mother herself. A lot of her
Speaker 5: best episodes are ones where Marge and but have some
Speaker 5: sort of like disagreement or whether she's just he's doing
Speaker 5: something for her or she's doing something for him, and
Speaker 5: in this episode, it was she trying to do something
Speaker 5: for the kids. So I'm trying to get rid of
Speaker 5: the UFC because she wants to have a safer future
Speaker 5: for them, but as a result of her love for Bart,
Speaker 5: that is what drives her to success of course.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he my favorite.
Speaker 5: Yeah, favorite moments in the episode. You mentioned one before
Speaker 5: you're quote necessactly it's the first thing I call me
Speaker 5: the children. But I think that this is since this
Speaker 5: is not my taste, no one el should be able
Speaker 5: to enjoy it. That you can apply that approach to
Speaker 5: nearly everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's really clever by Caroline as well
Speaker 2: in writing that line. If it actually is hers, I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, as we've always said, Yeah, it goes to
Speaker 2: the room. Everyone has the two cents to the.
Speaker 5: Potter that that feels like a line though that was
Speaker 5: from the beginning. Yeah, it's good sort of having it
Speaker 5: both ways as well, because it does it indicates a
Speaker 5: slight level of self righteousness, not necessarily hypocrisy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Fox had its issues back in the early days,
Speaker 2: the Fox Network, Children with Mary Children all that. You know,
Speaker 2: I had people writing letters saying you should not advertise
Speaker 2: in the show because it sucks, Like okay, just because
Speaker 2: you thinks it sucks. I mean, other people really enjoying it.
Speaker 5: I find it with Friends, right, I was. I liked
Speaker 5: watching Friends with my mother when I was younger than
Speaker 5: I sort of out grow Friends.
Speaker 2: It wasn't I wasn't cool.
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm not watching Friends, I'm watching sign Fund,
Speaker 5: I'm watching something else. Right, And now I tell people
Speaker 5: I'm doing a Friends podcast, and it's either there's only
Speaker 5: two responses.
Speaker 2: To that statement.
Speaker 5: I do a Friends podcast with my wife. I love Friends.
Speaker 5: Oh god, I can't stand Friends. And the people who say, god,
Speaker 5: how could you watch that?
Speaker 2: It's but the people who are saying are they saying
Speaker 2: can't stand it because they think it's naff or uncool
Speaker 2: or because they're offended by a certain ninety stereot.
Speaker 5: And that's not that, it's just that they don't find
Speaker 5: it funny. It's so stupid, it's so it's ridiculous. It
Speaker 5: say its bottle of the barrel comedy, and I'm like,
Speaker 5: in some ways I watch it, I go, this is
Speaker 5: very cliche, stereotypical comedy, right, very mainstream. It's also the
Speaker 5: very most successful sitcom of all time, arguably, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of a shortcut to thinking that those people.
Speaker 2: A lot of people do tell that approach.
Speaker 5: Like I said, whenever I say we do a Friends podcast,
Speaker 5: oh god, I can't stand friends. It's oh I love friends.
Speaker 5: There's no my friends is all right? It's always love
Speaker 5: or hate.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not I'm certainly not going to be doing
Speaker 2: a Friends podcast. I'm not that much of a super
Speaker 2: fan of it. But I mean, you'd have to be
Speaker 2: some kind of idiot recognized this is actually very well made,
Speaker 2: mainstream sitcom.
Speaker 5: And that's what I was one of those people. I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm not watching Friends right where I now watching it?
Speaker 5: When the podcast we do with Nicola, check it out.
Speaker 5: It's also averb on our YouTube channel now film in
Speaker 5: the show. But Nikola, she is a super fan. She
Speaker 5: loves Friends ever since I've known, and she's just been
Speaker 5: not the number one Friends fan. I take the approach
Speaker 5: of I more appreciate what I'm what I'm seeing here.
Speaker 5: I'm like, I can I sort of review the way
Speaker 5: it's put together. When Nicola's like, how funny are the jokes,
Speaker 5: I'm like, you see the way Matthew Perry set it up?
Speaker 2: Though, you know?
Speaker 5: And also Friends, I find I be a friends podcast,
Speaker 5: but if a tease but Friends, I find was actually
Speaker 5: very much ahead of the times when it comes to
Speaker 5: things of talking about gay weddings and that kind of
Speaker 5: stuff and sex when it comes to women's sex life,
Speaker 5: putting it out there and not even trying to say, oh,
Speaker 5: women can have sex too, just normalizing it. Sure, this
Speaker 5: is women, women have sex too.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 5: It's not it's not oh, how great is it that
Speaker 5: women having sex. It's just a women just having sex
Speaker 5: and they've got a sex life, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 5: this is just this is life. Yeah, I'm being very
Speaker 5: impressed with Friends so far. But yeah, again impressed with
Speaker 5: Carolyn Mean. I think she does a great job. I
Speaker 5: think she's arguably my favorite Simpsons writer. I always enjoy
Speaker 5: and I never read who the writers before we watch
Speaker 5: the new ones, but I want to go in with that.
Speaker 5: And then when I saw it, I was like, this
Speaker 5: did feel like a I did enjoy this. I think
Speaker 5: being someone who lived through and was a fan of
Speaker 5: UFC at the time, I appreciated the satire as well.
Speaker 5: I know you were never really an MA fan, so
Speaker 5: I'm not sure whether this would have appealed to you much.
Speaker 2: But I was like, oh, shit had done. I was
Speaker 2: more like, how did I not know there was a
Speaker 2: UFC episode of The Simpsons? Yeah? No, well yeah, I
Speaker 2: certainly didn't mean And like I said, I'm I'm not
Speaker 2: the hugest MMA fan or you're certainly UFC fan. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess I'm finding hard to differentiate the two mixed
Speaker 2: martial artists.
Speaker 5: Of course, it's fort UFC is the company, the company,
Speaker 5: but they've done the same thing. When people say do
Speaker 5: you watch WWE, they mean do you watch Restlingly.
Speaker 2: Yes, other things that I enjoyed. However, I thought this
Speaker 2: was a good visual gag. All the bullies are lined up,
Speaker 2: they've got kill written on database, gets in front, skill right,
Speaker 2: got the S written on his chest, and because they
Speaker 2: give him a little beat down, I guess the rest
Speaker 2: of them kids are going, oh that's ill. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought that was a good visual gag.
Speaker 5: Nights on her part, I liked when they were protesting
Speaker 5: at the front home as five six, who's got tick?
Speaker 5: Seven Eighth's that?
Speaker 2: Nat? I like? Yeah? And I like that Scalper guy.
Speaker 2: You reminded me of sort of like a Latino wise guy.
Speaker 2: One thing.
Speaker 5: Also just want to touch before we finish Our favorite
Speaker 5: moments is I liked how the family were continuing to
Speaker 5: support Marge through this, and they were taking the seriousness
Speaker 5: of the situation, like to another level when to get
Speaker 5: they're going, well, we can't stop it from doing it,
Speaker 5: but please just be careful or we're going to help her.
Speaker 5: They're worry made us take the seriousness of the situation seriously.
Speaker 2: Sure, you know what I mean? Yeah? Yeah, um. Other
Speaker 2: things I enjoyed just a nice throw away gig about
Speaker 2: if Gandhi could not eat for a whole three hour movie?
Speaker 2: Nice one. What's the gag there? Tell the people at home? Oh, well,
Speaker 2: my home. As Gandhi was a great civil rights leader
Speaker 2: in India, known for his hunger strikes and his you know,
Speaker 2: civil disobetings and norm that comes up. There was of
Speaker 2: course a big ass three hour movie about Gandhi who
Speaker 2: played Ben Ben Kingsley and Kingsley. Okay, indeed, yeah, he
Speaker 2: didn't need for a whole three movie back to He
Speaker 2: went a lot longer than that.
Speaker 5: But people do struggle to not eat during a movie.
Speaker 5: It's like it's impossible, that is true.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember the last time I actually went
Speaker 2: to a movie without snacks more like Beatsleigh shove that
Speaker 2: was good. I'm a sucker for a good word. I
Speaker 2: like that woman has natural breasts. This can't be good.
Speaker 2: And reverring to Marge as a mom, I'd like to fight. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's good. Yeah, good lie, any any of us you enjoyed?
Speaker 5: I like Lisa when she says this goes against every
Speaker 5: feminist bone in my body. But day, can you control
Speaker 5: your woman? And just Tatum ordering food? So he orders
Speaker 5: Gazelle's and would be some more and then he wants
Speaker 5: a two litered cherry Cola or something on those lines.
Speaker 2: Only got one leader.
Speaker 5: Have you ever gone to a fast food restaurant or
Speaker 5: caught up your favorite place and you've always got what
Speaker 5: you want? You wret a certain meal, certain drink, whatever,
Speaker 5: And it's one of the things I haven't got for me.
Speaker 5: It almost like throws It's like, what's the point, It
Speaker 5: just throws the whole meal out, Like have you gone?
Speaker 5: Have you had that situation?
Speaker 2: Not for me.
Speaker 5: It used to be when we're younger, like you know,
Speaker 5: two in the morning, we go, let's go to max
Speaker 5: this and get a mcflurry and we get them. I
Speaker 5: have a cheesebaking meal and a mcflury. I'm mcflurry Machin's
Speaker 5: not working. It's like, well, what's the fucking point?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's the end of the caviare certainly, and
Speaker 2: it's usually applies to macis as well, because it means,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a sucker for an apple pie and
Speaker 2: we don't have any apple pies we can give you
Speaker 2: like this, I don't want that. Ye why is it

Speaker 2: Next question, you there eating the trivia time, mister Davis
Speaker 2: Trivia Duran. Your first question, how many pages of pawn
Speaker 2: did March you have to go through? Because she got
Speaker 2: too crazy? Bowling? First question, it's ninety seven thousand. There
Speaker 2: we go. My limits had about like four thousand. What's
Speaker 2: it just poured out? Oh no, I've got I've got
Speaker 2: the endless capacity. Okay, your first question, well that was
Speaker 2: my first.
Speaker 5: My second one is what tattoos has Drederic Tatum got
Speaker 5: on his chest?
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I can't remember all of them. Certainly one
Speaker 2: of them was that was it the New Testament or
Speaker 2: the Holy Bible, Lord's prayer, Lord's prayer? Scooby do, Scooby doo. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And there was my there were.
Speaker 5: My skull, Hiroshima, the bomb going off? And Obama. Now
Speaker 5: there's a lot of few political gags in here, but
Speaker 5: they said they called Joe Biden a jackass. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 5: Obama's got of Biden. And they mentioned that the George
Speaker 5: Bush's name won't be mentioned anymore. Yahd YadA YadA. As
Speaker 5: she's going, I can't recall the last time I saw
Speaker 5: a Simpsons episode where they took the mickey out of
Speaker 5: Obama or Biden or anyone in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: Very very political, and this this episode, I mean, this
Speaker 2: one one of my favorite moments. And I was going
Speaker 2: to talk about it a bit later. But talking about Oh,
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm just like back in the Roman Empire,
Speaker 2: except their RAMPI was falling a part. It's like, this
Speaker 2: is two thousand and nine. I think this episode came.
Speaker 5: Out like I will say, I thought Lenny and Karr,
Speaker 5: who got the characters back on track here, didn't feel
Speaker 5: like I mean, granted they were being sort of smamy,
Speaker 5: but it felt like they were being unnecessarily cruel for
Speaker 5: a while.
Speaker 2: Lennie and Karr that.
Speaker 5: It's like, it felt like they didn't for a good portion,
Speaker 5: not just Lennon and car a lot of the characters.
Speaker 5: It felt like, you never don't know what to do
Speaker 5: with these guys anymore. The Bullies were a good example.
Speaker 5: Remember it's like, ah, and it feels like they're finally
Speaker 5: twenty one at least, it's like, oh, they've finally worked
Speaker 5: out what to do with the end.
Speaker 2: You know what? We call that the Carolina mene. We
Speaker 2: do it be a mean air effect. My next question
Speaker 2: for you, what is the who are the two opponents
Speaker 2: on the fight card on the program that Bart is
Speaker 2: getting signed?
Speaker 5: Well, Chuck la Dale was a guy signing Isdell one
Speaker 5: of the names. No, no, okay, what is it? It's
Speaker 5: King versus Lopez Lopez. And here's the thing.
Speaker 2: When they go to the fight between everyone like the.
Speaker 5: Chet chet ele angle breash or something, it's angle brit
Speaker 5: but the subtis is angle brick, and then like, are
Speaker 5: going to going to no sorry, it says angle brick.
Speaker 5: I think on Disney Plus, on the Simpsons Wiki it
Speaker 5: says angle brick, but on Wikipedia sas angle Bridge. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna go angle brick because Simpsons Wiki is like run
Speaker 5: by a Simpsons.
Speaker 2: But the thing of it is when they later on
Speaker 2: when they have that fight, it's the same program. It's
Speaker 2: still got King and log So I one got viae
Speaker 2: Byre that blunder.
Speaker 5: And I think it was really cool about UFC back
Speaker 5: when I think it's still doing it. But every event
Speaker 5: was UFC number forty three, and it's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: watch the mall set. My final question for you is
Speaker 5: what is the name of the fight?
Speaker 2: I loved this name. Oh oh, when a man loves
Speaker 2: a woman? How good is that? That is good? My well,
Speaker 2: I got two more questions, let me choose. Okay, how
Speaker 2: long has Krusty been dating Sancho Mel's wife? Eleven years?
Speaker 2: Eleven years? Yeah, and the Spark's Gone, Teller is Gone.
Speaker 2: There were a couple of.
Speaker 5: Gags in this episode that I thought felt odd, and
Speaker 5: that was one of them. So I didn't really go anywhere,
Speaker 5: just sort of feeler the auto moment with a hacky
Speaker 5: sack as well. I was like, yeah, it just killed
Speaker 5: ten seconds, but it didn't really add anything the point.
Speaker 2: And look, you mentioned this line earlier. I'm not yet,
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sure I feel about That's the
Speaker 2: first time I ever hit a woman I didn't love.
Speaker 5: It's pretty dark game, and I can see why Danel
Speaker 5: White would be annoyed by because you're betraying our fighters
Speaker 5: as women beings. Yeah, yeah, which some of them have
Speaker 5: proven to be the case. Was actually a video of
Speaker 5: Dana White slapping his wife.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean Caroline and certain a bit of
Speaker 2: stealth commentary in there. Yeah, oh god damn. Yeah.
Speaker 5: But again, though, as it was touching on earlier, you
Speaker 5: look at the audience for UFC, and I think people
Speaker 5: from the outside see those people and go, well, that's
Speaker 5: the kind of person that watches this stuff. You know,
Speaker 5: it's for those people.
Speaker 2: I've mentioned this movie in the past on various podcasts,
Speaker 2: but I mean the thing that's sort of not necessarily
Speaker 2: normalized UFC or m m A for me. But it
Speaker 2: came out I think a year or so. Lady. It's
Speaker 2: called Warrior. Oh yeah, yeah, we love that movie. I
Speaker 2: love that movie. It's like Wallburg. No, no, that's that's
Speaker 2: the Fighter. That's yeah. He's got Joel editd and Tom
Speaker 2: Hardy Yes, Tom Hardy. Yeah, these two brothers who are
Speaker 2: both MMA fighters and end up fighting each other ring.
Speaker 2: It's such a good movie.
Speaker 5: Before we get into our review though, of The Great
Speaker 5: Wife Hope, there are some people we need to give
Speaker 5: shots to and they are the Stonecutters.
Speaker 2: Indeed knockouts, every single one of them, including the Love
Speaker 2: the kdd G. She is a knockout.
Speaker 5: They did t k O. That's a top knockout. T
Speaker 5: k O is the company it now owns UFC. There
Speaker 5: you go what. I didn't even know that they owned
Speaker 5: w W w W as well. So ure seeing w
Speaker 5: w OW owned by the same company.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure Big Vanna all this consolidation, but you know,
Speaker 2: it is what it is. It is what it is. Indeed,
Speaker 2: feel free to buy us out. More people who we
Speaker 2: do love are these people.

Speaker 5: Sharp Carter. Incredible people, you bet you yes, well matter breath.
Speaker 5: But we're going to be getting into our review now
Speaker 5: of The Great Wife Hope, which originally aired October eleventh,
Speaker 5: two thousand and nine. The top three films at the
Speaker 5: US box office at this time number three, Cloudy with
Speaker 5: a Chance, Meatballs still up there, Zombie Lands still.
Speaker 2: Up there, and Couples Retreat is number one. Can you
Speaker 2: believe Couple's Retreat was number one at the US box office.
Speaker 2: I'm struggling to remember, and I think it's what like
Speaker 2: Jason Bateman, Vince Vaughn. I think John Average was definitely
Speaker 2: in the stick a fav gosh unified theory. One thing
Speaker 2: I did notice, so number four Paranormal Activity Climbing with
Speaker 2: a bullet. From nineteen to four, word of mouth spread
Speaker 2: about that film, and it was plus eleven hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy percent in box office takings in one week. Super spooky.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but cheap didn't cost anything to maybe fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: That's the most profitable movie of all time or something.
Speaker 2: It certainly's got to be up there. Yeah and d yeah,
Speaker 2: parable I'm treated to see where it gets. Number one.
Speaker 2: There's going to keep climbing. So the next week we'll
Speaker 2: find out.
Speaker 5: On the next season twenty one episode at production code
Speaker 5: Lab f one six, as we mentioned, written by Carolyn Amine,
Speaker 5: directed by Matthew Thorn, chucklate Belle stars as himself and
Speaker 5: Musha Walls. Is there to crapbubble and the chop ball
Speaker 5: gag I am not allergic to long division and the
Speaker 5: couchhagg was a repeat of the one from Take My
Speaker 5: Life Please, where it's a really long couch gag where
Speaker 5: they're chasing the couch around very in the space eventually
Speaker 5: to get it back. Yes, they had to kill two minutes.
Speaker 5: It was two minutes before the episode actually started. The
Speaker 5: episode kicks off with margin.
Speaker 2: Let's not forget the billboard. It's for the left um
Speaker 2: next run next right, Yes, sorry about that.
Speaker 5: They need to put the billboard gag on the wiki
Speaker 5: page otherwise I keep forgetting it. Sorry about that. But
Speaker 5: Marg and her friends are crazy bowling. She she has
Speaker 5: baking gloves on. Lwans there she's blindfolded, which seems right
Speaker 5: up her Rally, we have Sarah Wiggan with some snorkels,
Speaker 5: missus Ky some boxing gloves, and Beernice Hibbit with a
Speaker 5: straight jacket on.
Speaker 2: And Marge.
Speaker 5: Why does she the idea I should throw the pawns
Speaker 5: for crazy bowling, looking for women having fun or something. Yeah,
Speaker 5: girls having fun, girls having fun with something like that.
Speaker 5: And they look around and they notice that there's no
Speaker 5: men around. Sherry and Terry are bowling crazy cat lady's
Speaker 5: bowling her cats down and whatnot. And then we get
Speaker 5: even though it's I think it's Super Taco Tuesday or
Speaker 5: Nacho Chooesday, haven't had Nacho's for a long time they
Speaker 5: were my teenagey is my staple.
Speaker 2: So easy to make.
Speaker 5: Get a bag of free those some salser cheese on
Speaker 5: top in the microwave for two minutes.
Speaker 2: Done. That's that's step brothers nachos. You are wearing your
Speaker 2: step brothers. Yeah, but that's the team.
Speaker 5: It's like it's easy to make and you get professional natches.
Speaker 5: But it's like, now's your time for that three days
Speaker 5: cheese salsa go with a bit of sour cream on
Speaker 5: the side.
Speaker 2: No, I's to love making just supreme nachos. You know,
Speaker 2: how would you do it? Your layer of corn chips,
Speaker 2: You put a bit of quack on there, some cheese,
Speaker 2: get a bit of slicer on top of that, more
Speaker 2: layer of chips, get some refried beans, perhaps, but sour
Speaker 2: cream as well. Maybe. How old are you when you're
Speaker 2: making all this ship?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 2: Oh not long not long ago.
Speaker 5: I'm talking with teenagers like fourteen fifteen? Oh okay, fine, yeah,
Speaker 5: mates of a playing like all n on video games.
Speaker 2: I'm some re five beans. Yeah, everyone just goes, wow, Dan,
Speaker 2: I would have leed to.
Speaker 5: Be had salt and cheese, okay, but yeah that sounds delicious. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so it was really nice. Do you put them in
Speaker 5: the oven?
Speaker 2: And is that how you make it? Yes?
Speaker 5: Yeah, ok, yeah was the microwave job. So it'd be
Speaker 5: a bit soggy, but we like them soggy as well.
Speaker 2: Just delicious.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so good, but very bad for you. But yeah,
Speaker 5: So then we get cut to most. They think they're
Speaker 5: all gonna be at Mo's. No one's there. No one's
Speaker 5: at the baseballship skipping on the jukebox. Yeah, the baseball stadium.
Speaker 5: No one's at the baseball either. The kiss cam, the cats,
Speaker 5: the rats are police station, they're not there. Then no cops,
Speaker 5: be good. The science is on the door, and turns
Speaker 5: out they roll at the up k c C the
Speaker 5: Ultimate Punch, Kick and Choke Championship, which I guess you
Speaker 5: can't really callt UFC, can you. You've got to got
Speaker 5: to call it a parody name. I'm actually surprised I
Speaker 5: never actually just took I know they've had wrestling episodes,
Speaker 5: but just taking a direct mickey out of wrestling in general.
Speaker 5: When wrestling was at his peak. Wrestling it was at
Speaker 5: his peak, Stone Coll, Steve Os and the Rock and that.
Speaker 2: You feel like you to be right, would be right,
Speaker 2: But they never did it, but Willie and Sideho, Mel
Speaker 2: and Moe they're bonding over to shouting out ship from
Speaker 2: the crowd.
Speaker 5: That's what happens at sporting events. You just you don't
Speaker 5: know these guys, but just if you both for the
Speaker 5: same team, sure you just you bond over these things.
Speaker 5: The bullys have the kill written on there, so it's
Speaker 5: k I l L. You said, database rocks up with
Speaker 5: s makes it skill. Then the fighter I liked this
Speaker 5: little bait and switch, so you think he's gonna break
Speaker 5: someone's leg break and then he loses, and Homo says
Speaker 5: there's no better violence than stuff and flip the violence
Speaker 5: and pokes himself and the yell with a straw, but
Speaker 5: thanks him for bringing in. So I remember this day
Speaker 5: my deathbed, and Homah says, not everyone gets deathbed, but says,
Speaker 5: maybe I'll get shot by a punk trying to get
Speaker 5: into a gang, which I thought was just just there.
Speaker 2: They don't all land, No, they don't.
Speaker 5: Indeed, they're walking out Linny and Karl. This is what
Speaker 5: we were talking about earlier with the Roman Empire. So
Speaker 5: he says, three hours of half naked man fighting like animals.
Speaker 5: It's like Roman time, except that empire was falling apart then,
Speaker 5: but us the fighter, which Chuck ladal he comes out
Speaker 5: the back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, just not how it works. That's true. But
Speaker 2: they notice say, oh this is Chuck lad It's just
Speaker 2: a fighter. But it says he does he look like
Speaker 2: Chuck Late does, Yeah, Chuck l Dale. But then it
Speaker 2: says like Chuck Lade. Guest starts as himself and he
Speaker 2: doesn't go heyes, you've seen. It's like, hey, you're a
Speaker 2: fire to play someer thing. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Then I wonder if that was a thing that Dane,
Speaker 5: because Dana what he approves everything. I wondered because he's like,
Speaker 5: I don't know how he's going to go.
Speaker 2: Don't name him. You can be on it. It can
Speaker 2: look like you, but you're not to be named. It
Speaker 2: seems like I think there was a lot of ass covering. Yeah,
Speaker 2: ask him. Sure, could you sign my program a swear word?
Speaker 3: Yes, filthy but obscure with a subtle scatological undertone.
Speaker 2: Sure, no problem. Twenty five dollars please.
Speaker 3: Made it man boy, listen son, I know we saw
Speaker 3: some moreesome beatdoms tonight, but remember, don't try this at home.
Speaker 3: Do it at the schoolyard someplace where if you get hurt,
Speaker 3: we can sue not just them, but the school, the county,
Speaker 3: the state, and that Jack s Joe Biden.
Speaker 5: Do not try this at home, which used to be
Speaker 5: a thing when you watch the wrestling, because I think
Speaker 5: a guy, a boy like I think he killed his
Speaker 5: system and maybe seriously hurt her like doing a wrestling
Speaker 5: move chokes lam or something. I'm sure there's so many
Speaker 5: like chokeouts that the people have troll after UFC. Yeah
Speaker 5: for sure, because with wrestling it was like we do
Speaker 5: chokeslas love the easy one you pick up, slam them
Speaker 5: down or just like scoop slams, just like that. But
Speaker 5: when you had a trampoline, wrestling was so much fun
Speaker 5: and you can imagine, Yeah, kids not know the difference
Speaker 5: between I'm gonna I'm gonna make your tap and I'm
Speaker 5: gonna actually break your arm.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, kids are stupid, We know this. But
Speaker 2: I mean when I was a teenager, we just had
Speaker 2: so much sort of imprompt you wrestling at recess and lunchtime.
Speaker 2: And I was a smaller kid, so I mean I
Speaker 2: was barely getting thrown around. You should have been the
Speaker 2: heel manager. I know now from the set should have
Speaker 2: been wise guy would have been.
Speaker 5: But yes, I said, there's don't try this at home,
Speaker 5: only try in the schoolyard where we can sue everybody
Speaker 5: at the school and then the counsel whatever, including that
Speaker 5: jack ass Joe Biden, which is such a weird gag
Speaker 5: to hear in twenty twenty five, isn't Oh yeah, it's
Speaker 5: like he was he hadn't become vice president yet, but
Speaker 5: because I think they got sworn in November. This air
Speaker 5: in October, but everyone in American who Joe Biden was
Speaker 5: by this point because running mate with Obama.
Speaker 2: But it was just weird hearing that. The Simpsons of
Speaker 2: all shows talking down Yeah, but certainly the Onion at
Speaker 2: the time. They had a running gag about sort of
Speaker 2: renaming him Diamond Joe Biden and having him like this
Speaker 2: hustler even like Joe Quimby well yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: but yeah, kind of like a bit of a grifter
Speaker 2: who was like riding on. Obama was very sort of
Speaker 2: straight up and down and his Diamond Joe going making
Speaker 2: sort of deals behind the scenes. Man else to just
Speaker 2: be a real sort of charmer, you know, like the
Speaker 2: real slickster. And yeah, come of the opposite one.
Speaker 5: And see what he said what he became. But yeah,
Speaker 5: between twenty four the finished last year twen twenty four
Speaker 5: sounds a bat around. Yeah, but he wasn't really really running.
Speaker 2: I know. It just feels like Djt's been running the
Speaker 2: show for goodness knows help, he's been just had a
Speaker 2: free living in Hedge run free for goodness knows. He
Speaker 2: and Biden was running the show. Never felt that he
Speaker 2: was running the show. It just felt like he was
Speaker 2: sort of a placeholder until ye, until until the down
Speaker 2: till this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then we see Nelson. He's fighting Millhouse at
Speaker 5: school and Bart's next. He beats the crap out of
Speaker 5: Millhouse and milk. Bart's next, Ralph has used as the
Speaker 5: bell ding ding, and Marge just there to pick up
Speaker 5: Lisa's it's obviously after school because she's had to pick
Speaker 5: up Lisa.
Speaker 2: Where's your brother? I don't know, chasing ducks buried alive,
Speaker 2: He'll be messed. Let's move, I gotta collect pink aunt
Speaker 2: Ny Ny. Just follow the guys, Mam.
Speaker 5: I don't like lately they've had Lisa sort of be
Speaker 5: disinterested in the health of Bart or not even really
Speaker 5: care about his existence.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it was not a fan, but I was
Speaker 2: not a fan of the way Lisa sort of came
Speaker 2: across in this episode. I got to say she wasn't
Speaker 2: ended all that much, but you know, yeah, all the
Speaker 2: stuff she's saying in the car. He was kind of like,
Speaker 2: this doesn't feel very Lisa SIMPSONZK no no.
Speaker 5: And then here die Die Die, and I think, just
Speaker 5: just follow the die's mum, you'll find him. And Mark
Speaker 5: goes around the back and she sees Nelson is getting
Speaker 5: beaten up by Bart. Mart's actually defeating him. I'm glad
Speaker 5: your father's not here to see this, and he's there chewing.
Speaker 5: I thought I was quite good. It's almost like a
Speaker 5: home in the hedge Hud, who just sort of backs away,
Speaker 5: backs away. And then Bart admits that he's copying what
Speaker 5: he saw on Ultimate Punching and March's Ultimate makes everything
Speaker 5: worse than Otto says, not Ultimate Frisbee. I mean he's
Speaker 5: got a good point, sure, Ozmat Frisbee is for all
Speaker 5: of fun, but the gag should end it there. And
Speaker 5: then she goes, what have you got something to do
Speaker 5: with your hacky sack? And he's sort of it's hacky, right,
Speaker 5: hacky sack. I used to call a happy sack when
Speaker 5: I was a little I was like, that's not right,
Speaker 5: that's just like different kinds of sack. Yes, it is, indeed,
Speaker 5: but then you have see Otto fail with his hacky
Speaker 5: sack for like ten seconds and I'm going this didn't
Speaker 5: go anywhere.
Speaker 2: What was the point of this?
Speaker 5: And then she reminds and then she says she's gonna
Speaker 5: put a stop to this, and Nelson says, you can't
Speaker 5: put a stop to a sport without several other mothers,
Speaker 5: sympathetic school officials and clergymen placed the meat snacks. A
Speaker 5: phone tree is invaluable and Marge says, you know, you're
Speaker 5: really good and it's good knack for this, and he
Speaker 5: says he wants to be an event planner when he's older.
Speaker 5: You could plan Lisa's wedding. And I was like, what
Speaker 5: a random, yeah, random conversation. We come back from commercial
Speaker 5: and all the women from the first scene that were bowling,
Speaker 5: all the mothers are now watching you pay caccs are
Speaker 5: disgusted by it. And this is where Marge says that
Speaker 5: the line of the episode call me to kill a joy.
Speaker 5: But I think that since this is not to my taste.
Speaker 5: No one I should be able to enjoy it either,
Speaker 5: And that's just yet. You can just apply that to anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, Look, it's a complicated one and I won't
Speaker 2: pretend I've got any answers when it comes to this,
Speaker 2: but I mean, yeah, part of me is kind of like, well,
Speaker 2: if you don't like it, don't watch it. But the
Speaker 2: other thing is, well, you know, if you're a mother
Speaker 2: or a parent or whatever, or you've got people that
Speaker 2: you're looking at for, it's like, yeah, but they may
Speaker 2: watch and they may take the wrong ideas with it.
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, someone's body slam their little sister
Speaker 2: and she's ended.
Speaker 5: Up a quadriplegic Jerry Springer and you're watching twenty twenty
Speaker 5: five and you're like, holy shit, this was on television.
Speaker 2: Well true, Oh yeah, all the biggest loads or anything
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, anything, yep. So Bart, then please don't
Speaker 2: do it. Don't do it. It's as fun for me
Speaker 2: as having kids. This for you.
Speaker 5: And then he asked me for help. Back me up, dad,
Speaker 5: and Homer says, ultimately punching his exploitive, violent, and a
Speaker 5: bad influence on our young people, and Bart smells chocolate
Speaker 5: on his on his breath. Someone a slice of black
Speaker 5: Forest cake. I love black Forest cherryke. We got both
Speaker 5: cherry cake. It was my favorite of all cakes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, black Forest ghetto delightful, so good.
Speaker 5: He says it wasn't just a piece, it was the
Speaker 5: whole cake, frosting like snow is for Bavarian Castle. So
Speaker 5: Marge has got Homer on her side now by baking
Speaker 5: him a cake.
Speaker 2: Just one of my favorite lines from this episode. You
Speaker 2: knew my one weakness that I'm weak. I'm weak. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Then they're protesting at the front. There's another up at
Speaker 5: uk C see whatever it is MMA event happening in Springfield.
Speaker 5: They're at the front with their one, two, three, four
Speaker 5: blah blah blah. Harmas is five six, who's got ticks?
Speaker 2: Seven?
Speaker 5: Eight ys that game. Marge then says, the only way
Speaker 5: to stop this is by thinking like one of these guys.
Speaker 5: So she asked for a ticket. The guy says, I'm
Speaker 5: not a scale, but I've just got.
Speaker 2: A two hundred friends. It didn't show up. They didn't showup.
Speaker 2: Didn't shad the buying a ticket.
Speaker 5: She goes in there and she sneaks into the cage,
Speaker 5: but before we get the women just instantly turning on
Speaker 5: Margine talking about it behind her back.
Speaker 2: That's right, yes, but now they're not calling it the
Speaker 2: octagon here. They're calling it the sceptagone, which is like
Speaker 2: a scept Well that'll be nine ring, which is weird
Speaker 2: because and I say it is seven yes, seven yeah,
Speaker 2: oh okay, because an octagon has eight sides, and I
Speaker 2: was thinking hexagon step to gone, yeah, octagon. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: think I was trying to correlate it to the months,
Speaker 2: you know, like I was thinking September because I had
Speaker 2: nine sides and octagon but has ten sides. But don't know,
Speaker 2: he's eight sides going on and what are we doing?
Speaker 2: I'm really confused. What's what's nine sides then?
Speaker 5: And non a gone? Of course it's not gone yes
Speaker 5: or November. It's actually a deck of it is the months,
Speaker 5: but it's just the wrong man aside. Yeah, that doesn't
Speaker 5: make it small only after a step ot none.
Speaker 2: If any if anyone knows why this is, get in
Speaker 2: the mail bag and let us or we got to
Speaker 2: eat very easily google it, but we'd like to know
Speaker 2: what you think about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's so she's walking towards the septagon and up
Speaker 5: in the in the box we see for the first
Speaker 5: time the owner. We don't know his name yet. Chet's
Speaker 5: what we find out nurses march as natural breast, which
Speaker 5: can't be good. And she enters the cage as it closes,
Speaker 5: and she takes the mic. She says she won't rest
Speaker 5: until we tear down the septagon. And the blue head lawyer,
Speaker 5: who doesn't really sound the blue Head Lawyer anymore. It's
Speaker 5: still just become like a corporate shill kind of guy.
Speaker 5: He doesn't have such a wainmore.
Speaker 2: He's not breaking the super punks.
Speaker 5: No, not indeed, but he says that nobody tears down
Speaker 5: the sept the gun except the crew for tomorrow morning.
Speaker 5: Who because what's on tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2: It's they call it huffle puffs or something, huffle stuff
Speaker 2: half on the hulfle enough huffle stuff whatever, it's puffing
Speaker 2: stuff in everything but name go to see this. The
Speaker 2: world needs more hupuffer stuff. Well that's true. I would
Speaker 2: smoke a big jay and then go see it.
Speaker 5: Yes, check angle brick, he interrupts, and she asks him
Speaker 5: to go out of business and don't all your profits
Speaker 5: of charity, but check then agrees to a fight. There
Speaker 5: he says, look, if you're on an interfere, you won't
Speaker 5: take me down beat me in a fight. If you
Speaker 5: can actually defeat me in a fight, I will. I
Speaker 5: will do what you ask to.
Speaker 2: Quote the guy on your T shirt. This escalated quickly.
Speaker 5: It did the fact that she hasn't got to the
Speaker 5: sceptic in the first place. I was like, there is
Speaker 5: that this isn't happening. But so they're bickering here. She's like,
Speaker 5: I'm not going to fight you, and then he says, wait,
Speaker 5: you have to ask your husband, which is usually the
Speaker 5: other way around, you have to ask your wife. She
Speaker 5: finally agrees. We see the number one nag go on
Speaker 5: on the screen. She agrees to the fight. How it
Speaker 5: gets back from the candy bar? What did I miss nothing?
Speaker 2: Button?
Speaker 5: Homer now say to Margin you can't fight it. On
Speaker 5: their way home, you can't do it. He'll knock your block.
Speaker 2: Off, your beautiful block. Yeah.
Speaker 5: From this point on, Homer is very is a good
Speaker 5: version of Homer. So I all the craziest things I've done,
Speaker 5: this is the craziest and you're doing it. She says,
Speaker 5: it's bigger than her. The Guardian line as you meant
Speaker 5: know about the three hour movie. She thinks, you know,
Speaker 5: he probably probably go easy on me. Then she sees
Speaker 5: the promo video on the on the screen and she panics,
Speaker 5: it's just basically him just beat the shit of her,
Speaker 5: isn't it? Essentially yep, margin gets in shape with rhythmic
Speaker 5: or she's going to get into shape with rhythmic gymnastics, yes,
Speaker 5: which won't go well. The family we're watching from a window,
Speaker 5: very concerned, like, oh, she thinks this is going to
Speaker 5: work list as were saying earlier, it goes against every
Speaker 5: feminist bone in her body, but they can control your woman.
Speaker 5: And Marge then starts writing cutesy things with her ribbon
Speaker 5: and whatnot and just yeah, it's not gonna end well.
Speaker 5: She she has no idea what she's getting herself into.
Speaker 5: Basically no, no. Then Lenny and Carl say to home,
Speaker 5: because that is at most one one punches she with
Speaker 5: bedridden and all she moves her toe a really weird
Speaker 5: vision of her writing things with her foot, and it's like,
Speaker 5: you know, where's Maggie. I'm cold, I don't understand you.
Speaker 5: Where's my Wife's in there somewhere?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's and I know if I
Speaker 2: mentioned this on the wiki or not. I'm wonder if
Speaker 2: it was a lot of reference to move from the
Speaker 2: lady that called my left foot? Have you ever heard
Speaker 2: of this one? I have not, no greatest living actor
Speaker 2: Daniel day Lewis. It's a true story based on this
Speaker 2: Irish painter and poet who I believe had cerebral pausing
Speaker 2: and could really only sort of control the only uh,
Speaker 2: he can only control his left fot but he painted
Speaker 2: like pictures with it and drew and wrote poems with
Speaker 2: this footnote this kind of stuff, and was like, oh
Speaker 2: this guy was the lost cause, Oh my god, this
Speaker 2: guy's actually an artist, but he can only control his
Speaker 2: left foot.
Speaker 5: Well that's a that's a very Golden era style gag.
Speaker 5: Then it's on a reference to something in pop culture
Speaker 5: by this point, which is like twenty five years old,
Speaker 5: and he watched his going Well that's just a home
Speaker 5: stupid hammer vision. But it's like if you know, you know, yeah,
Speaker 5: and now you know, yes, well played, Carl.
Speaker 3: Do you know heavyweight champ Drederick Tatum?
Speaker 1: What you think just because I'm black, I know all
Speaker 1: of the black people. Well, actually, Drederick and I are
Speaker 1: very good friends. We met through Dyke the Hibbit at
Speaker 1: a party of Bleeding Gove's Murphy's house. Well, mind, you
Speaker 1: have definitely come to the ray Crib. I'm always happy

Speaker 5: Mohammad eyes eating the fugu fish. But now it's Hakazaria.
Speaker 2: Another crime. He's ragging, ragging up els. But I must
Speaker 2: have met. I did love it.
Speaker 5: Surprising move that was my favorite bet yees. So he's
Speaker 5: teaching her jiu jitsu and how to use the opponent's
Speaker 5: strength against themselves as well as using a bit off
Speaker 5: your own.
Speaker 2: But yeah, surprising move. Flips are over.
Speaker 5: Then he holds home her in the air he's trying
Speaker 5: to fly kick him, ties him up and ant pops
Speaker 5: ole of.
Speaker 2: Dis in his spine. Is he is?
Speaker 1: He?
Speaker 2: Okay? He feels no pain? Actould make England. He feels nothing,
Speaker 2: but it feels only pain.
Speaker 5: Now she's training with mister Burns. But's a very random thing.
Speaker 5: But like I had to payoff, which I liked at
Speaker 5: the end. So she's training with the Burns, who says,
Speaker 5: you know, I was once the New Haven nuisance, and
Speaker 5: I can buy this he was once. You know, I
Speaker 5: can buy mister Burns as being like that little piss
Speaker 5: hand who's just drove you insane, just mouth from the South.
Speaker 5: Just he'd be a good wrestling heel. Mister Burns, just
Speaker 5: the little little skinny guy. He climbs over her, says,
Speaker 5: I'm going to give you the beating of a lifetime.
Speaker 5: He thinks he's betting her up, but she's doing nothing
Speaker 5: to her. She says she's late for a PTA meeting.
Speaker 5: Cust to the PTA meeting and the skinner saying to
Speaker 5: save money with the following presidents, will no longer be taught.
Speaker 5: If you can and fillmore pierce bush Bush and he says,
Speaker 5: we stopped doing that custom Marche standing there, mister bed
Speaker 5: is still coming over. I thought, as silly as that is,
Speaker 5: as soon as his if I appreciate it. As for
Speaker 5: the payoff, yeah, then there's the following morning. Homer says,
Speaker 5: it's ten minutes ten the kids wake up. I was like,
Speaker 5: there's no gag here, this is just married life. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: the kids are asleep quick lock the doors, but then
Speaker 5: Chet interrupts them with his crew says, tomorrow night, your
Speaker 5: bedroom will be the scepter gone, and slipping pills will
Speaker 5: be my punches. No one's questioned the fact that he's
Speaker 5: going to beating up a woman. That's it's kind of weird.
Speaker 5: But then she asked what book you reading, Eat, Pray, Love,
Speaker 5: which he says is what beat Slave shov Yes, And
Speaker 5: what do you think of the fireworks gag here?
Speaker 2: I liked it? Not too bad? Yes, too bad.
Speaker 5: The fireworks begin tomorrow and bang bang bang fireworks go off,
Speaker 5: and it's just the guy saying, oh, no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I said tomorrow, I have trouble concentrating, and he starts
Speaker 5: talking again, Bang bang bang more fiveways go off.
Speaker 2: I want to backtrack a little bit. You're talking about
Speaker 2: a man beating up a woman and all that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff when a man gloves a woman. I think
Speaker 2: one thing that MMA was pretty effective in doing was
Speaker 2: mainstreaming the female involvement in it. Yeah yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: they sort of made it evident from the get guards
Speaker 2: like we're going to have male cards and female cards.
Speaker 5: And that's where I think they won the younger audience
Speaker 5: because they realized, oh ship, because you watched WWE and
Speaker 5: it's brawn pandies matches, mud wrestling matches. Oh yeah, and
Speaker 5: then you watch you have seen It's like, oh, these
Speaker 5: are legit women kicking the fuck out of each other.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. I mean, maybe the highest profile MMA
Speaker 2: fighter for a while was wrong to rouse.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well she broke them, she broke the mold. She
Speaker 5: went into acting as well. Oh absolutely, Yeah, she's not
Speaker 5: damn good at it. But yeah, but how many of
Speaker 5: them actually are. That's true when it comes to like
Speaker 5: wrestlers going into John scene is pretty good.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: When it comes to comedy, he's bad. The rock He's
Speaker 5: a perfectly fine action stuf.
Speaker 2: He's a very very charismatic not a bad actor. I
Speaker 2: haven't seen this movie with the smashing machine that no
Speaker 2: one's seen it. No, No, I feel bad for him.
Speaker 2: But no, I don't feel bad for him. I feel
Speaker 2: bad that people you know. Oh no, wow, what a flop.
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't think this was actually designed as
Speaker 2: a huge box office hit. I think it was designed
Speaker 2: more of a showcase to show that he can actually act.
Speaker 2: And he's getting very very positive reviews for his performance
Speaker 2: in it, even if it's not like a huge box
Speaker 2: office some.
Speaker 1: What do you call it.
Speaker 5: I don't think they expected it to lose this much, though,
Speaker 5: which is a shame because I want to see The
Speaker 5: Rock start acting. But the failure of this film, though,
Speaker 5: I don't think this dictates the future of his career.
Speaker 5: Oh and I don't think he can then go well,
Speaker 5: I can't do this anymore. So I don't think people
Speaker 5: don't want to go see the Rock. It's just more
Speaker 5: interested in this film. It wasn't really marketed that well either.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and quite frankly, it's a terrible title of Smashing Machine,
Speaker 2: but the title is taken from a documentary actually about
Speaker 2: Mark Kerr. Yeah.
Speaker 5: The shame is just you know, you get not original concept,
Speaker 5: but it's not a franchise, and these films aren't doing well.
Speaker 2: I would just hope that he would make better action
Speaker 2: movies as a result, because I mean I think everyone
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, we've got al Schwarzenegger. Now, yeah,
Speaker 2: that was going to say it before, Yeah, except he
Speaker 2: just squandered it on these really shitty movies. What about
Speaker 2: the three for you? Like the three shitty movies for him?
Speaker 2: When I watched Black Adam. I was like, oh, this
Speaker 2: actually starting off not badly, but it just got bad
Speaker 2: by the end. Red One is garbage, and I.
Speaker 5: Can't believe Nickle and I went to the movies to
Speaker 5: watch that and we're halfway through them and going, what
Speaker 5: in the hell are we watching?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Maybe Red Notice, Well that's the Netflix one with
Speaker 2: Ryan Reynolds and Galga Dott. Jungle Credit was so good,
Speaker 2: I know, so red there's Red Notice, which is like
Speaker 2: a mission impossible. Yes, and then the other one, it
Speaker 2: was Red One is the Santo Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
Speaker 2: think it was a convergence of all those things. I
Speaker 2: think the movies weren't very good, and he's he was
Speaker 2: letting his public persona sort of gain traction as well.
Speaker 2: He was making a lot of money. They were a
Speaker 2: big successful Oh yeah yeah, but I think he started
Speaker 2: to it seemed like he was buying into his own hype.
Speaker 2: For me, it actually started around when he did that
Speaker 2: version of Baywatch, which was fucking terrible, god awful, but
Speaker 2: it was kind of like it was like a bandit
Speaker 2: a proge in a lot of ways. It was like, Oh, Rock,
Speaker 2: you're so funny, Oh you're so handsome, and it's like
Speaker 2: like he couldn't lose fights, and every joke he cracked
Speaker 2: was hilarious. I think one thing people liked about the
Speaker 2: Rock is that he was this big charismatic guy, big charismatic,
Speaker 2: confident guy who nonetheless had a slight degree of self
Speaker 2: deprecation about him. And even when he played it up
Speaker 2: like he did in the Fast and Furious movies, it
Speaker 2: was kind of like it was a big cartoonish but
Speaker 2: he started to take them a bit too seriously. That's
Speaker 2: where I think John Sender is succeeding. Oh yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: I think I think yeah, Seena looked at those took
Speaker 2: all the right lessons from that stuff.
Speaker 5: But we're back at school now, and now they're asking
Speaker 5: the bullies for advice behind the bleachers, and he says,
Speaker 5: I didn't get these knuckles from punching nothing of punch
Speaker 5: punching bags. And he punches the punching bag Keernie, and
Speaker 5: we hear a little sound inside. It turns out Martin's
Speaker 5: in there. It's my fault.
Speaker 2: I looked.
Speaker 5: I looked him in the eyes when he gave him,
Speaker 5: when I gave him my lunch money. Marches, you should
Speaker 5: tell you principle about this, I'm well aware of the situation.
Speaker 5: Also into the punching bag. Yeah, a lot of sort
Speaker 5: of short, sharp gags here. Marge is now in the
Speaker 5: arena just looking around, taking it all in, realizing her
Speaker 5: fate is about to come.
Speaker 2: Visually speaking, that's a nice shout it out to the
Speaker 2: first Rocky by the way, is it okay? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Lisa comes in to say it's not too late to
Speaker 5: back out and marshes if she fights, it'll be less violent.
Speaker 2: Word for you. So I've got to do this, and
Speaker 2: Home suggests maybe's stressed up as you. And that's a
Speaker 2: nice bit of work by Caroline and the riders as well.
Speaker 2: It's a nice sort of counterpoint to that whole thing
Speaker 2: that that gag that we were talking about one of
Speaker 2: our favorite lines about this is not my taste. No
Speaker 2: one should be able to enjoy it. This shows that
Speaker 2: she actually has a reason. If I can make the
Speaker 2: world less violent for the next generation, yeah, than good.
Speaker 2: It's not just you can't I disapprove. Yeah, so you
Speaker 2: can't either. Yeah, it's like she's got noble intentions even
Speaker 2: if you don't agree.
Speaker 5: And I also like here too that walks in dressed
Speaker 5: as March, and I was just going, oh, no, this
Speaker 5: isn't they going to really try this, are they?
Speaker 2: And it's like, no, they don't. They're not.
Speaker 5: Now Homer walks in just as March, saying I will
Speaker 5: replace you in the fight. No one or no doing
Speaker 5: that it is he's want to get doing that.
Speaker 2: I don't need it all anymore. What I wrote down
Speaker 2: is I wonder how Julie kay takes it when Dan
Speaker 2: c does March. I should love it. I imagine you'd
Speaker 2: love I don't think anyone's go Dan, is that what
Speaker 2: I sound like? But let's be twenty five probably has
Speaker 2: a better March quite frankly, but I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: imagine the first time that they actually did that, whether
Speaker 2: it was that gig that I just mentioned, was like
Speaker 2: I love you. Oh I don't need it anymore is
Speaker 2: my favorite. I'm just wondering if Julie Cabina would have gone,
Speaker 2: Is that what I sound like? I don't need it
Speaker 2: at all anymore.
Speaker 5: But then Moe walks in and says, I'm going to
Speaker 5: take it to my high school reunion, and he says,
Speaker 5: won't people be a bit bit about this? Last year
Speaker 5: took Barnes, you're going to be an upgrade, because Barney
Speaker 5: was just as March last year, clearly just still playing
Speaker 5: the march I mo Love's march gag. Now it's time
Speaker 5: for the fight, and they're all walking in, all the
Speaker 5: people mallards on it that Crusty invited him. He says, well,
Speaker 5: I just invited you because now it's allowed public spant
Speaker 5: can tell you that I'm dating your wife for the
Speaker 5: last eleven years, always says, break tell her I'm dumbing
Speaker 5: it because after eleven years the thriller's gone. Then the
Speaker 5: kids are strapping her up, strapping her wrisks and what not,
Speaker 5: ready for the fight. And Homas says, I can't stop
Speaker 5: you from this, but just stay out of his way
Speaker 5: and please make sure you don't get hurt, and Bart says,
Speaker 5: and mum, if you punch you in the junk, you'll
Speaker 5: get no disrespect from me. Then Lisa points out that's
Speaker 5: a Haiku poem. But there goes nowhere, What was the
Speaker 5: point of that joke? This is those few I'm like
Speaker 5: little bit fear filler gagss. Just while that happened, you know,
Speaker 5: well that happened. Then the bell rings and then weighing
Speaker 5: in that nobody needs to know that skip ahead. I
Speaker 5: thought it was quite funny. And then the moment I
Speaker 5: like to fight, it's Marge. And then he introduces Chet
Speaker 5: at one hundred and fifty pounds. Let's get ready to
Speaker 5: rumba and they he said, we've been ready for an hour.
Speaker 2: My car had trouble. Then Chet says he won't hurt her,
Speaker 2: and then he does.
Speaker 5: He's a dirty dog. He can't trust his check guy
Speaker 5: sucker punch. Yeh, he is definitely a pro wrestling manager.
Speaker 5: He's not he's not the UFC owner for sure. Then
Speaker 5: he ate, so he punches Marge.
Speaker 2: Now, having said that, you know, there's a there's a
Speaker 2: lot of thoughts like, well, if you get into the ring,
Speaker 2: you're gonna take the punches. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5: You know what you're getting yourself in for. But he
Speaker 5: said as I was saying, first time hit a woman
Speaker 5: that I didn't love, which is a very dark gag.
Speaker 5: Then we're watching the fight at Moe's and most like
Speaker 5: get back in your feet up, believing you. Bunny thinks
Speaker 5: he's talking to him. No, thank god. That pressures off,
Speaker 5: so Barney falls back down to the floor. Then Homer
Speaker 5: tries to save her, but he gets stuck in the chairs.
Speaker 5: He falls down the stairs and his head gets gender
Speaker 5: between two chairs, but then enters the septagon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom, will you well, I'm going to knock
Speaker 2: you out and moon your corpse.
Speaker 1: He gop fight anyone except the man my own size.
Speaker 5: We get a shot he of Crusty cheering, Wigham cheering,
Speaker 5: and Moleman cheering, which was very reminiscent of two episodes
Speaker 5: so the Home are they fall when Home is about
Speaker 5: to beaten up and you see the crowd like cheering
Speaker 5: for it, and Lisa on ice when Lisa and bart
Speaker 5: On the on the hockey game and they're all sort
Speaker 5: of like they're about to fight, and you see like
Speaker 5: Chief Wigan was the coach like screaming out and mole
Speaker 5: Man's ship screaming from the we want blood and that
Speaker 5: kind of thing. I thought it was a little bit
Speaker 5: of a throwback to that. Then Marge says that she
Speaker 5: sees him picking up but that's my son. She runs
Speaker 5: over and just beats the shit out of him, and
Speaker 5: then he says, oh, she's about to make him tap
Speaker 5: And he says, she said, don't let me break your arm.
Speaker 5: He says, break out the lips, you can kiss my ass.
Speaker 5: And I was like, you could come back. And then
Speaker 5: at Moe's he points out a lot of people are talking.
Speaker 5: Oh no, I think's Lenny. A lot of people are talking. Now, No,
Speaker 5: Most says it. Most says a lot of talking in
Speaker 5: this fight for a professional fight. And then he says
Speaker 5: that's what happens when you fight a woman. I was like,
Speaker 5: all right, well, they're.
Speaker 2: Steering game and then they're steering out of the steir.
Speaker 5: He says, yeah. Then they break out the bumbones and
Speaker 5: watch General Hospital. But then the payoff in really good,
Speaker 5: really good, and he breaks out some bon bonds.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Then check gives up, but he doesn't actually tap. He says,
Speaker 5: you're better than me. Just turn your back on me
Speaker 5: and take a bow. And she's like, don't do it much,
Speaker 5: don't do it. And you think he's about to fly kicker.
Speaker 5: He's going towards her. Everyone's like, oh my god, home
Speaker 5: is look o my god. And she turns around, it
Speaker 5: calls his bluff fly kicking straight to the side of
Speaker 5: the face, knocks him out and she's the winner, and
Speaker 5: Marge says that you know she grabs the mic. I
Speaker 5: only agreed to do this because I wanted to stop
Speaker 5: the violence. The only thing I'm going to be fighting
Speaker 5: now is cold. There had no reference of a cold
Speaker 5: to this point. I was like, okay, But then they
Speaker 5: realize here that everybody has left because two drunk guys
Speaker 5: were fighting outside and home. I asked we can go
Speaker 5: as well, go watch the fight, and mars Shaws hope it.
Speaker 5: We go home for some mixed mixed marital art no
Speaker 5: holds barred. I was like, hot, diggity damn. But then
Speaker 5: child just leads it to a fight. They run in
Speaker 5: each other and we get a freeze frame ending credit
Speaker 5: start and then a bit of a Rocky three ending,
Speaker 5: but then come back Lisa just knocks me out and
Speaker 5: then that is the genuine ending of the episode. So yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean hid and miss a lot of this, but
Speaker 5: I overall, I thought it did a fine job of
Speaker 5: tackling MMA in Springfield.
Speaker 2: Let's call it a tea cat. It's a technical knockout episode.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean it's not Carolyn Demine's best one,
Speaker 5: but I enjoyed it, said, I think I enjoyed this
