Speaker 2: understand why the kids would be happy with it. Yes,
Speaker 2: all right, so double double in Trouble.
Speaker 4: I think this is another episode that has a really
Speaker 4: good story within it. It just felt something just didn't
Speaker 4: quite hit like it was. It was fine, but it
Speaker 4: just felt like it's missing something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were aspects of it I liked, certainly. I
Speaker 2: think the thing was it felt like, yeah, this is
Speaker 2: there should have been like the second or third time
Speaker 2: we'd seen what do they call the the Wooster Fields
Speaker 2: or fields. Yeah. I love the idea that there's Springfield Heights. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that there's this yeah, posh suburb of Springfield.
Speaker 4: It's first scene properly in when scenes of class struggle
Speaker 4: on Springfield, when Mark gets the Shanel dress and she
Speaker 4: goes to the country club.
Speaker 2: Ok. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I just liked
Speaker 2: the idea that there is this sort of social strata
Speaker 2: in Springfield. It's never really been played up all that much.
Speaker 4: I guess I know it has been. There's an episode
Speaker 4: where they built the wall between the rich and the poor.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's two episodes. Probably this is a lot
Speaker 2: more of I thought about it. You probably I'm a
Speaker 2: sucker for a good prince in the pauper story. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I was very happy that this had this whole kind
Speaker 2: of thing. I guess the feeling would have been better
Speaker 2: if the maybe of the wooster Fields wooster Fields. Yes,
Speaker 2: remember wasshter ship, great sauce? Good was your she soy sauce?
Speaker 2: Don't like wash share she sauce for me? It's good.

Speaker 2: With that right. Oh you don't want to like spread
Speaker 2: it like a steak or whatever. Yeah, I don't think

Speaker 2: in a shepherd's pay.
Speaker 4: Best sauce for a steak in the Canna three is
Speaker 4: a combination of two ready one two three butter galy so,

Speaker 2: It's one of the many shows we cover here, one
Speaker 2: of the many pop culture items that we discussed a
Speaker 2: great in great detail and a great depth.
Speaker 4: Now, there was a comment at the end of this
Speaker 4: episode right that made me go, let me think that
Speaker 4: the riders of the Simpsons just obviously don't discuss what
Speaker 4: they're doing in each other's episodes anymore, because how did
Speaker 4: last week's episode Lost for Rizon end? They get back
Speaker 4: from your pitch you and what happens in the house?
Speaker 4: Bart plays a cool remember he's never leave again on something,
Speaker 4: Never Leave Again. She's like, Ah, this episode ends with
Speaker 4: I never thought i'd say this, but I missed you guys.
Speaker 2: I'm like the last episode with missing them. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right, it's all very much. There's there's no place
Speaker 2: like home, There's no place like that. Oh that's listen. Now,
Speaker 2: I've just had a I've just had a connective thought Okay,
Speaker 2: well we'll talk about that in the moment the cash gag,
Speaker 2: I'm assuming yeah, oh yeah, so oh you're looking at
Speaker 2: me like, yeah, that's obvious.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, As you were saying, I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: so the story I was getting to at the start
Speaker 4: that there's a good story here of the appreciate what
Speaker 4: you've got.
Speaker 2: Not what someone else has.
Speaker 4: And that's not that can't be applied to everybody, obviously,
Speaker 4: but a lot of the time, if you're wanting what
Speaker 4: someone else has got, you will never be happy.
Speaker 2: There is an old saying. It's been attributed to many people,
Speaker 2: whether it's you know, Greek scholars or the Great Confucius.
Speaker 2: What was it? Comparison is the thief of joy? Anything? Though?
Speaker 4: Is with this story here? If so Simon, right, Simon
Speaker 4: the kid Simon? Yeah, if Simon's siblings weren't trying to
Speaker 4: kill him, wed bard have wanted to go home again?
Speaker 2: No, he had it pretty good.
Speaker 4: He had it pretty good. Yeah, so there is a story.
Speaker 2: So they hamstring their own, they necapped their own.
Speaker 4: Yes, so it's kind of like there's a message here,
Speaker 4: but it's also the message was only working because he
Speaker 4: had siblings that wanted to kill him the actual lifestyle,
Speaker 4: but probably good enjoyed.
Speaker 2: Yeahships in the pool and that's true. Yeah, he wasn't going,
Speaker 2: oh this is kind of shallow or anything.
Speaker 4: Like, which is what I thought the episode needed.
Speaker 2: He needed it. He needed an understanding that he did
Speaker 2: have it pretty good? Yeah, well good, but it needed
Speaker 2: to show he thought were superficially good, lacked any real
Speaker 2: substance or meaning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it needed to have because Bart was sleeping
Speaker 4: on the air hockey table, right or he was calling
Speaker 4: from the hockey table, remember that you called Simon. There
Speaker 4: needed to be a scene because they kept emphasizing the
Speaker 4: tuck ins, right, the need to be a scene of Bart.
Speaker 2: Very well done, Dan, though, good for you because all there.
Speaker 4: Is one scene of him going because he could have
Speaker 4: had the mother going you're old enough, you can tuck
Speaker 4: yourself in good midnight and that's it.
Speaker 2: What a fixer, What a fixer you are. You're just
Speaker 2: solving problems because then the final scene means more. It does,
Speaker 2: doesn't it. You fixed this episode? All right, we're done
Speaker 2: and we're out and we're the and it's gone. My favorite.
Speaker 4: Did you have any favorite moments from the episode, because
Speaker 4: I've got here in my notes.
Speaker 2: Nothing I had to struggle.
Speaker 4: One of my favorite moments is also a Trivier question,
Speaker 4: so I can't spoil it yet. Okay, then, but it
Speaker 4: was more of a visual gag.
Speaker 2: Okay. As I said at the start, I'm a sucker
Speaker 2: for a good prince with the poor story, and this said,
Speaker 2: anytime you've got that framework, I'm pretty happy.
Speaker 4: So this was based was actually based on Tell me So.
Speaker 4: The episode's plot is a parody of Daphne du Maurier's
Speaker 4: ninety fifty seven novel of the Scapegoat, while Simon's horse
Speaker 4: Shadow shadow Facts is named after Gandoff's horse from the
Speaker 4: Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 2: Sure Is.
Speaker 4: The plot is also based on the eighteen eighty one
Speaker 4: Yeah Prince de Pope, as you're saying, marked.
Speaker 2: One, Yeah, yeah, I have never read or heard of
Speaker 2: The Scapeguat. I know daphnein Demurrier. My sisters were very
Speaker 2: big on Daphne to Murray. Would you like to know
Speaker 2: the brief synopsis? Sure In a bar of France, a
Speaker 2: lonely English academic on holiday meets his double, a French
Speaker 2: aristocrat who gets him drunk, swaps identities, and disappears leaving
Speaker 2: the Englishman to sort out the Frenchman's extensive financial and
Speaker 2: family problems pretty good. The story has been the basis
Speaker 2: of two films, one in nineteen fifty nine starring your
Speaker 2: Man Alec Guinness and Betty Davis, and one in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty twelve starring Matthew Reese. Oh called the Scapegoat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Escapegoat of Ali Guinness nine to fifty nine?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about the Matthew Reese one? Okay, So that
Speaker 2: guy's doing all right. He appears in a bunch of
Speaker 2: good movies, and he's married to Kerry Russell. Wasn't he
Speaker 2: that Brothers show? He wasn't Brothers and Sisters? And he
Speaker 2: was the lead in the Americans for about six seasons.
Speaker 4: Escapeo is a British film adaptation of the book The Drummers,
Speaker 4: written and directed by Charles Sturage.
Speaker 2: Do you know Charles Sturage? That name does ring a bell?
Speaker 4: Charles Sturage, English director of Scream No Nothing really There
Speaker 4: stars Matthew Reese as lookike characters John Standy and must
Speaker 4: play two characters Justinny and Johnny Spence. It was broadcast
Speaker 4: on Itubes. I directed TV then Yeah still maybe checking
Speaker 4: out or he didn't know that Alginnis version either.
Speaker 2: I did not. That's incredible, it is, because that's a
Speaker 2: hell of it all star cast and Betty Davis.
Speaker 4: So the pauper story, what is the basis for that story?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's the thing. I mean, I'm not sure I've
Speaker 2: actually ever read the Prince on the Poor, but the
Speaker 2: upshot of it.
Speaker 4: Is that it was the Prince in the port just
Speaker 4: read in Wikipedia. No, no, I mean, but you know
Speaker 4: it's kind of a it's kind of a trope. Yeah, okay, yeah, you've.
Speaker 2: Got a rich well, it's usually a dude, a rich
Speaker 2: dude and a poor dude who look alike and for
Speaker 2: some reason they swap places. And this is nine year
Speaker 2: olds yeah kid, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Does you say who wrote it? Mark Twain? As I said,
Speaker 2: it is market Sorry I didn't hear the Mark Twain. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Mark Twain. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Pocket turns the ascension of nine year old Edward six
Speaker 4: of England in fifteen forty seven, and his interactions would
Speaker 4: look like Tom Canty, a London paper who lives with
Speaker 4: his abusive alcoholic father. Similar stories.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just a bit of invariably you've got
Speaker 2: the message or that the grass is green. On the
Speaker 2: other side, having said that it too good for Tom Canty, no,
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to steer a prince, thank you
Speaker 2: very much, And that's what they.
Speaker 4: Had to sort of play out more in this episode
Speaker 4: was yes, Homer was they've gone back to home of being.
Speaker 2: A dick again. There was a lot of bad Homer
Speaker 2: in this episode.
Speaker 4: For the sake of just trying to emphasize his life.
Speaker 4: He doesn't like his life back home because of Homer.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, but he's got Marge there, and he doesn't.
Speaker 4: He never he never misses March. That's the thing. He
Speaker 4: never misses March until he says the you know what,
Speaker 4: I never thought i'd miss you, guys. He never actually
Speaker 4: misses Marge specifically, he never mentions he doesn't think of
Speaker 4: it something that he misses with Lisa because like you,
Speaker 4: Lisa says, but would have thrown me from the windo
Speaker 4: or whatever. Right, there needs to be a scene with
Speaker 4: the sister, the sibling doing something him going Lisa would
Speaker 4: have done that with me, or Lisa would have said
Speaker 4: something different, or.
Speaker 2: Even oh, I would have liked poking fun at Lisa.
Speaker 2: In this situation. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of inconsistency with
Speaker 2: Marge as well. This episode I thought was like, you know,
Speaker 2: sometimes she's really upset, really really angry, but then you know,
Speaker 2: three seconds later, even doing the tucking, I understand they
Speaker 2: need the tuck in, but at the same.
Speaker 4: Time she's felt very much suppressed my rage. Everyone's happy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then all the tucking seems incredibly sincere and heartfelt.
Speaker 4: You're right, Yeah, the Marge scenes feel natural and they
Speaker 4: actually work. I thought the Marge tucking in scenes were
Speaker 4: really sweet.
Speaker 2: Very sweet. Yeah. Yeah, but honestly, I mean the stuff
Speaker 2: with home. My very first note about this episode is like,
Speaker 2: when they're in the quickie, Mart, so over the top,
Speaker 2: wasn't it. Well, it's a very specific, very premeditated threat. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole cliche of Homer strangling Bart. Yeah, it's Homo
Speaker 2: strangling Bar. But I mean it's really just a manifestation of, Oh,
Speaker 2: this kid makes me so angry that I could throttle him. Okay,
Speaker 2: you've got to. We'll do it literally just to show you.
Speaker 2: But I mean it's essentially I'm frustrated with kid all
Speaker 2: the time. I'd really like to do this, but I
Speaker 2: want but whereas this is kind of like I'm angry
Speaker 2: at you all the time, and goodness me, goodness me,
Speaker 2: I could just take you into a dark corner and
Speaker 2: mess you up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Bart wasn't paying into good life either too.
Speaker 4: It's like bash a shithead, but he hasn't been this
Speaker 4: bar for a long time, and it's like, for the
Speaker 4: sake of this story, right, he needs to be absolutely reckless.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you've gone back to season one or
Speaker 2: season two bar and.
Speaker 4: It's almost like they're going they're blaming his parents for
Speaker 4: feeding him shit food as well, because even double down
Speaker 4: on it when they get when Simon's having dinner and
Speaker 4: then they're like taking it. But when Timon's having dinner,
Speaker 4: she's like, well, you know, I made it with cheerios,
Speaker 4: and I did this, and I did something full of sugar,
Speaker 4: and you know, it's like, Marge, what is going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is it Bart's fault?
Speaker 1: Is it not?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's again kind of all over the place.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of inconsistencies, but a good story in there,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, just not fleshed out enough.
Speaker 2: That's it remains, as I said, a cliche or a
Speaker 2: dry big for very good reasons, like, oh, it's a
Speaker 2: story that always works, and this has a good underlying message,
Speaker 2: and it's like, you know, be happy, not be happy
Speaker 2: with what you've got, but recognize the good in what
Speaker 2: you've got.
Speaker 4: The best Homo threats for me, because as you said,
Speaker 4: this was very specific, right, But when I've always thought
Speaker 4: the best Homer threat was when he threatens Lisa and
Speaker 4: he says, Lisa Tennant, stop playing your sax, but I.
Speaker 2: Need to practice. He is, I'll practice you. You'll practice
Speaker 2: me threat. But that's just your cliche that because how
Speaker 2: many dads do that.
Speaker 4: I'll practice you in a minute, I'll give you makes
Speaker 4: notice of that, that's that's that's oh ship, I'll practice you.
Speaker 4: It's like that doesn't make any sense. But you know,
Speaker 4: so he's just yeah, constantly, that's a good Hamit threat.
Speaker 4: But I'll beat you with those stick magazines.
Speaker 2: It's like, that's not cool.
Speaker 4: You actually heard that a supermarket ego. Oh by the way, guys,
Speaker 4: at the end of this episode, we got the news
Speaker 4: edition of what.
Speaker 2: A Lord said that should we be doing this? I
Speaker 2: mean I think what I know there are lords in
Speaker 2: the world. They should be they should be recognized.
Speaker 4: Yes, even if someone from the past or whatever, you'll
Speaker 4: find someone. Okay, it's we're going to end each episode
Speaker 4: with a bit of positivity.
Speaker 2: What a lord. I like to think this episode, well,
Speaker 2: every episode of and everything we do on the Far

Speaker 4: We could do some tribut we could do some tribua.
Speaker 4: We did it out of order. Let's do trivia. Let's
Speaker 4: go for it.
Speaker 2: Next question, you there eating the paste. Let's go. Okay?
Speaker 2: Should I go first? Yes? Okay. My first question to you,
Speaker 2: there's a sign of mos that said a certain night
Speaker 2: is ladies night. What night is ladies?
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 4: At mos Tuesdays Tuesday. Yeah, it's always been Tuesday. I
Speaker 4: didn't say that, but yeah. So my first question for
Speaker 4: you is one of my favorite moments. What is the
Speaker 4: population of Aspen?
Speaker 2: White? White? Who played at Woosterfield Arena? Where an artist
Speaker 2: gets a name check? It was when Bart and Simon
Speaker 2: first meet in the bathroom. Nah, got me, it's Bonnie Rate.
Speaker 2: I have no idea who that is? A Country and
Speaker 2: Western musician, same as the who sings the nine to
Speaker 2: eleven songs? What would you do if you discovered your
Speaker 2: identical twin in the bedroom?
Speaker 4: Ladded to Heaven going down to South Park of euro
Speaker 4: ifn't even know a south Park found check it out
Speaker 4: because it was.
Speaker 2: It's the season six of the show is awesome. It's
Speaker 2: pretty darn good, I got to say. Is indeed?
Speaker 4: Now, who are the two people not Fleetwood, Mac and
Speaker 4: not mcaulay culkin. Who are the two other humans that
Speaker 4: Bart seasons whilst he's driving.
Speaker 2: It's McDreamy and McSteamy, the two hot doctors from the
Speaker 2: inexplicably long running medical soap opera Gray's Anatomy. They're still
Speaker 2: going right, still going Maybe it just Gray's not in
Speaker 2: it anymore. H I'd never watched a single episode of
Speaker 2: the show, would know who Gray is. Great, that's Meredith Gray, Okay.
Speaker 2: I always just assumed Gray was dreamy or mixed him
Speaker 2: whatever it is that guy. I was like, he seems
Speaker 2: like the main star. But was he like the George Clinney. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, the central character grays Anatomy was Meredith
Speaker 2: Gray played by Ellen Pompeo or Popio, except she just
Speaker 2: quit the show, like I quit the show. Resigned from
Speaker 2: the show after maybe twenty seasons. I thought of finished
Speaker 2: off the season like recently just finished right, No, No,
Speaker 2: I'm still going, still going season twenty one right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: do a Graze Anatomy like TV launch.
Speaker 4: But it's the tenth most popular program on all of
Speaker 4: on demand television.
Speaker 2: What we were what we were saying, but I don't
Speaker 2: know if it was off the air. Yeah, shows like
Speaker 2: this there are incredibly popular. Still. Yeah, nobody talks about
Speaker 2: them or mean, people do talk about them, but they're
Speaker 2: not like you know, on the front on the front
Speaker 2: page of whatever media outlet you choose to frequent But
Speaker 2: people are still watching them. People love them.
Speaker 4: Has never been twenty first, twenty and four as currently
Speaker 4: currently in a twenty first season. That's insane. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: mean good for them, right.
Speaker 2: What about them? Yeah? Good on them. What is the
Speaker 2: blocked number price? The price to block a number? It
Speaker 2: costs something the millhouse? Oh no, idea, it costs three
Speaker 2: sixty five, three sixty five.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, okay, I'll get you. Yeah, because you mean
Speaker 4: like turn color idea off? Well, is what blocking means?
Speaker 2: Barker's mill has to check that out? Yeah, blocked? That
Speaker 2: costs three sixty five?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I thought I was confused there, I thought
Speaker 4: when he said that, I thought, is this just some
Speaker 4: old outdore thing where if you call him from this
Speaker 4: area it's a minute or something.
Speaker 2: I phrased that inelegantly. It's not your fault. It makes
Speaker 2: perfect sense. All right.
Speaker 4: Now, let's blame the episode. What do the hobos refer
Speaker 4: to themselves? The shampedosapinos? Yes, in Aspen. You want to
Speaker 4: hear us talk about Aspen?
Speaker 2: Wow, we're really good at Uh? Did we already spread?
Speaker 2: Just we just spread going down to South Park? But
Speaker 2: we'll do it again with the what would you do?
Speaker 2: What would you do? I think it was where were you?
Speaker 2: Isn't it? Where were you? You and the world stuff turning. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I should have listened to actually to that song.
Speaker 4: It's Alan Jackson, right, el Jackson. But yeah, it makes
Speaker 4: no sense to anyone but me because you told that
Speaker 4: story about the country music festival.
Speaker 2: I think you told on the podcast. I know. But
Speaker 2: it's also a sound bug ben because Michael Jackson. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: everything I do has like multiple meanings. All right, Jackson,
Speaker 2: I went to a country music festival and everyone's very,
Speaker 2: very thrilled to see Alan Jackson.
Speaker 4: I'm like, but let's get into a review, shall we?
Speaker 4: Of Double Double every questions? I know, because you ruined
Speaker 4: my first one, which was the Daily Grown.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's a.
Speaker 4: Great name, and your questions for me then I thought,
Speaker 4: she is your favorite part of the show. You're also
Speaker 4: eager to make sure you get all your questions out.
Speaker 2: I don't have to. I have one more, but how
Speaker 2: about we do it during the during the actual review.
Speaker 2: That way we can get to the fireworks factory we can.
Speaker 4: Indeed, so The original edit was October nineteenth, two thousand
Speaker 4: and eight of Double Double Boy in Trouble. Kab F
Speaker 4: one four was the production code written by Bill oden Court,
Speaker 4: directed by Nancy Cruz. I did feel like this had
Speaker 4: a woman's perspective when it came to the march scenes.
Speaker 4: At least, I wouldn't have been surprise if Carolyn Emine
Speaker 4: wrote this. She's just really good at those emotional beats.
Speaker 4: I thought the scenes were. The tuckins were not emotional,
Speaker 4: but they had heart to them.
Speaker 2: It just emphasized that more. As someone who likes doing dishes,
Speaker 2: I was a big fan of Marge's Scrubbing You song.
Speaker 2: You've mentioned that recently. You loved on the dishes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do, I said to Nilan the other day,
Speaker 4: because Nick, this thing right we're doing the dishes is
Speaker 4: she'll do them, but do you dry as you clean?
Speaker 4: Nicolas stacked them up on the side.
Speaker 2: And it let them dry. Let him here drivers for
Speaker 2: a little while at least, because all it takes is
Speaker 2: one kid to come around and try and take a
Speaker 2: glass off and they all fall down. Well that's true.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't have to worry about this. The
Speaker 2: only small creature that's gonna tip shit over at my
Speaker 2: place is basically the cat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's done it and he will do it. Yes,
Speaker 4: Joe Montana, I guess that is himself. We can I
Speaker 4: give I guess it's a great name, Joe Montana?
Speaker 2: What I mean? Did this his actual name? Do you
Speaker 2: think his actual name is Joseph Montana?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like he's that had the same name or something.
Speaker 2: He's like a junior. Oh okay, pretty sure. See Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, San Francisco. Okay, interesting, I had to
Speaker 2: think about that for a second. Played flight twenty years
Speaker 2: or something with the forty nine Ers. Okay, I knew
Speaker 2: it was some like iconic ish team. Yeah, they're all
Speaker 2: iconic in their own.
Speaker 4: Ways, but is is Joseph Clifford Montana junior?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Nickname Joe Cool and the comeback Kid the cover kids.
Speaker 2: So good, isn't it? Oh my god? Because you've been good?
Speaker 4: Like I guess what, I'm back one another championship and
Speaker 4: come back kid by the way, Joe Cool here. That's
Speaker 4: basically like what Jordan did. Jordan one three fucked off
Speaker 4: to do space here and come back one another three
Speaker 4: because he felt like it.
Speaker 2: There was like some conspiracy theory going around that Jordan
Speaker 2: was like busted for sports gambling or something and that's
Speaker 2: why he went off to play baseball for a couple
Speaker 2: of years. It's like, we can't have you in the league.
Speaker 2: You know it's going to come out, you know, but
Speaker 2: if you walk away with your own volition for a
Speaker 2: little while, let the heat die down, then come back.
Speaker 2: Give be the comeback kid. But you know it's getting
Speaker 2: it's getting too hot.
Speaker 4: I feel like they would have covered that in his
Speaker 4: documentary if it was true.
Speaker 2: Well, the last dance. I think the last dance was
Speaker 2: very Michael Jordan's sort of sanctioned. I don't think he
Speaker 2: would have I don't think he would have bothered him
Speaker 2: with that. How to come out? Who can tell?
Speaker 4: What I do like about the season twenty so far
Speaker 4: so they've been giving us the full intro. I'm feeling
Speaker 4: that maybe because in a few episodes we're losing it.
Speaker 4: I enjoy this whilst you've got it because they go
Speaker 4: HD soon.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the original era of The Simpsons will officially
Speaker 4: be over in a few more weeks. Here in four
Speaker 4: figure discount we were doing the HD era. Wow, it's
Speaker 4: look and feel different. It's gonna be strange.
Speaker 2: Will the show be different? Well, Mitch is coming back.
Speaker 2: It was fun. While at last.
Speaker 4: The HD E actually stands for I've got a new
Speaker 4: guy called Harry Dorman coming in.
Speaker 2: Damn him. What's on the board.
Speaker 4: So the chop World gag is there is no such
Speaker 4: month as October.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure there is.
Speaker 4: If you asked the marketing teams, Oh, absolutely yeah, And
Speaker 4: the couch gag was the one that you want to
Speaker 4: talk about this, so go for it.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's a reverse Wizard of Oz in that
Speaker 2: they're leaving color and they go to CPR when they
Speaker 2: actually end up in oys. But it is all unified
Speaker 2: theory of four finger discount strikes again because Wicked is
Speaker 2: in cinemas right now, we could part one, one might say.
Speaker 2: And also the Wizard of Oz was on TV the
Speaker 2: other night and we talked about it on what did
Speaker 2: we record the other day? Going down to South Buck.
Speaker 4: So the episode kicks off of Homer shopping with Bart
Speaker 4: and Maggie barsh just being reckless and naughty for the
Speaker 4: sake of it being a little shit being a shithead. Indeed, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's going to the supermarket with a kid. It's just
Speaker 4: a mixed bag mate.
Speaker 2: It's lucky dip.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'll well behave sometimes they get it's usually by
Speaker 4: the time you just say, there's fifteen arles and supermarket.
Speaker 4: Right by the time we get to Aisle ten eleven,
Speaker 4: they've had enough. Oh okay, Yeah, it's just and that's
Speaker 4: when novel is worn off. And that's when the shitcause's
Speaker 4: when they finish their lollipop. That's when the ship show starts.
Speaker 4: And it's just I've just got two miles.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you say when they finished their lollipop? Do
Speaker 2: you mean they finished their lolly? Yes, you have to
Speaker 2: listen to all of our podcasts. To understand why that Joe.
Speaker 4: Ain't going to tell you have to find all the
Speaker 4: other podcasts.
Speaker 2: So listen to them all, maybe twice.
Speaker 4: But then I poo offers home the last scratchy just
Speaker 4: sort of make him a bit Have you looked last cutchy?
Speaker 4: Sometimes lucky, sometimes it's not, but distraction no by threatening
Speaker 4: to jump onto a trolley full of shallows marshmallows, so
Speaker 4: Homer goes to stop him. Len He ends up buying
Speaker 4: the scratchy and wins fifty thousand dollars. Now this party
Speaker 4: simply was worth more than fifty thousand dollars just f yi.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh goodness it yeah, yeah, but you can't buy However,
Speaker 2: many rooms he got for No.
Speaker 4: They should have made something to striving onwe hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty thousand or something crazy. But then Lenne would have
Speaker 4: seemed like Antrue absolute dickhead, right, I mean he still
Speaker 4: looks like a dickhead fifty kight on your friends, but
Speaker 4: just a good guy. But yeah, so another ironic tale
Speaker 4: of the quickie comic as a poop points out here,
Speaker 4: which is the tale of the crypt I guess, so, yeah,
Speaker 4: tail it looks like and covered, isn't it. I've never
Speaker 4: revisited the film since I was a kid, but it
Speaker 4: was also always one of those covers that those Tales
Speaker 4: on the Dark Side was the film.
Speaker 2: It looked creepy as shit.
Speaker 4: It's not bad so that the one that has the
Speaker 4: kid being threatened to be cooked in an oven as
Speaker 4: like the through lines it's like a creep show. Nah,
Speaker 4: I don't think it's creep It's like three stories, is
Speaker 4: it is? And then there's like someone throw into cook
Speaker 4: a child as like the bit in between each story, right.
Speaker 2: I can't recall, Actually I do not tells the Dark
Speaker 2: Side like eighty eight feels like an eighty nine er
Speaker 2: maybe a ninety turns on dark side movie show it
Speaker 2: was ninety Yeah, well done. It just sounds cool.
Speaker 4: Oh your tails from the dark side, but he wins.
Speaker 4: Lenny wins and points it out to Homer. Oh, well
Speaker 4: you would have won this if you had have bought
Speaker 4: the thing. So Home is furious. He says he cost
Speaker 4: me twoentyre thousand dollars because he was going to do
Speaker 4: better on the dogs. Yes, Marge, then unpacks or the
Speaker 4: shopping it's been packed up and scratched up in a rage.
Speaker 2: Well it's because I'm was very man at Bart who's
Speaker 2: becoming what he calls her Dennis level menace.
Speaker 4: Then Homer points out, well he costs two undred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: No longer okay with this is March No, and she
Speaker 4: squeezes the turkey up. So presses her rage, squeeze it up,
Speaker 4: feeds it to the dog. It expands in the dog.
Speaker 4: Then Homer goes to Mo's where Lenny is buying all
Speaker 4: the drinks and oh, actually, this is one of my
Speaker 4: favorite moments class mohir oh.
Speaker 5: Cheer up Home the drinks around Lennyn't you're pretty boo Joe?
Speaker 2: Pay for it? My job.
Speaker 5: I gotta check with Lenny on Dad Nope, Lucky Lenny's
Speaker 5: buying all the drinks tonight.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Homer, but here's a compromise. Why don't you bold
Speaker 2: pay for the drink and tip?
Speaker 4: And he says You're going to spend the remaining money
Speaker 4: on a kick ass party for all his friends. I
Speaker 4: thought Barney crying here.
Speaker 2: Was really weird. Yeah, I'd go anywhere. It was just, ah,
Speaker 2: that's just like, is this a reference to something?
Speaker 4: It felt like that, didn't it? You know, this is
Speaker 4: just all the time we go. This has to be something.
Speaker 4: It's true, it's too odd.
Speaker 2: Is there like iconic footage of some Beatles fan like
Speaker 2: going wild for the Beatles at Shay Stadium or something?
Speaker 2: It's not Maybe, yeah, it feels like it should be something,
Speaker 2: but it's not instantly familiar enough that you're going to go.
Speaker 2: They're paying tribute to this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the family are all leaving for Lenny's party. Meanwhile,
Speaker 4: Bart is not dressed yet, not ready. He's instead of
Speaker 4: aiming a water gunful of cat pee at Rod and Tide.
Speaker 4: What was my was Marget the front looking for Bart?
Speaker 4: Is that why she he ends up shooting her?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good question, because Marge gets into
Speaker 2: the Spi're all getting ready to go, yeah, and not
Speaker 2: even ready to go read.
Speaker 4: The lead, yes, and Bart just shoots her with what
Speaker 4: was water this morning? And then now marches to wear
Speaker 4: her backup dress as a result, and Nelon makes fun
Speaker 4: of that shape and she says she's got makes it okay,
Speaker 4: arms look fat in this dress. Newlson makes fun of her.
Speaker 4: You feel self conscious haha, And Homer says he blames Marchie.
Speaker 4: The reason he's like this because you had that sip
Speaker 4: of alcohol when you were drunk. Marge's reaction to it
Speaker 4: is very Marge, but Homer saying it's your fault. It's like,
Speaker 4: how was just a dick from go to woe? Yeah,
Speaker 4: this episode yeah, no good at all, which I think
Speaker 4: stands out and brings an episode down. Oh yeah, because
Speaker 4: you're paying so much attention to it. It's annoying in
Speaker 4: a way. But Marge responded that ways that was unforgivable,
Speaker 4: this little sip. I did like the animation of like
Speaker 4: it hitting Bart and then like the spikes popping up
Speaker 4: and whatnot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're gonna give it a damien omen music and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so then I'm glad you brought that up because
Speaker 4: I knew it was something that music. What is it? Yeah,
Speaker 4: the omen music. I like, I think I add something
Speaker 4: to the I had a couple of things. But she
Speaker 4: thinks that the bad behavior now is more than just
Speaker 4: a phase. And then Bart is flicking Robert Cement onto
Speaker 4: Lisa that he's been storing up his nose, and Homer
Speaker 4: threats to drive him.
Speaker 2: Into a tree, and I was like, this is so stupid.
Speaker 2: Stop flicking boggers, Stop threatening to drive into trees. I'm like, what,
Speaker 2: why are you threatened to drive into a tree. It's
Speaker 2: just so it's not funny. I'll played Devil's advoct for
Speaker 2: a moment and say, Okay, this is a weird, exaggerated
Speaker 2: extrapolation of the threat your dad always made, like don't
Speaker 2: make me turn this car around. I think that's that's
Speaker 2: the only rationale that I can give you. It's like, okay, Well,
Speaker 2: maybe they're like, well, what if your dad threatened to
Speaker 2: drive into a tree instead of saying, oh, don't maybe
Speaker 2: turn this car around, don't maybe drive into a tree.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be funny? Maybe I think Classic would have
Speaker 4: done what they exactly would have done here. They could
Speaker 4: have had that line, I'll drive this into a tree.
Speaker 4: Marge would have gone Home, I known, he goes, Marge,
Speaker 4: you're ruin.
Speaker 2: I'm not actually like that.
Speaker 4: There would have been some joke like that or even
Speaker 4: like he was going to drive into a tree. That's
Speaker 4: that's that's that's what made it stupid. It wasn't just
Speaker 4: a threat.
Speaker 2: What are you going to do it that way? Then?
Speaker 2: You know, spice up the visuals a bit, make it
Speaker 2: into like a like a real battle of wills between
Speaker 2: Homer and Barton, sort of go when you're driving cars
Speaker 2: like chicken chicken, Yeah, yeah, close into the close up
Speaker 2: on the eyes, close up on the knuckles on the
Speaker 2: on the steering wheel, who's going to break first? All
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. I don't know. I think that
Speaker 2: could be still be a stupid It was a stupid
Speaker 2: bit of way to make this joke a little more
Speaker 2: I don't give it a little more flavored sometance, Yeah,
Speaker 2: a little more spice. It's just the fact that Home
Speaker 2: I was willing to risk the lives of his family
Speaker 2: because but was being yeah, yeah, there's a way to
Speaker 2: make it. Homer being kind of a stubborn.
Speaker 4: Speaking before thinking yes, opposed to driving driving and go
Speaker 4: a tree and then avoiding it as opposed to being
Speaker 4: like an angry, vindictive psycho, and then he could have
Speaker 4: had and that's Lisa saying something like and that's why,
Speaker 4: by the way, is because you never follow through with
Speaker 4: your threats. And then Marshall said, what do you want
Speaker 4: us a fault drive into a tree something like that.
Speaker 2: All then home. It's kind of like, if you show
Speaker 2: up my inconsistencies again, I'll drive right into this tree.
Speaker 2: And then he tries, he starts to do it. Are
Speaker 2: make it, make it funny, this is normally a comedy.
Speaker 2: Make it feel like.
Speaker 4: We're actually going, actually and genuinely fixing these episodes.
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 4: And it has taken us five minutes each time.
Speaker 2: You realize your pals Bill Oakley and Met Selmon and
Speaker 2: just listening.
Speaker 4: To this going Bill he threw the town in many
Speaker 4: years before this one.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I won't jump to what
Speaker 2: a lord, but yeah, Bill Oakley has now just got
Speaker 2: a new second career. Is just sampling just over the
Speaker 2: Steve Hans guy, Steve's Hams guy. He found something really
Speaker 2: seemingly delicious the other day where he's like, oh, someone
Speaker 2: sent me the yuzu from you send me from Japan,
Speaker 2: the Yuzu seven spice dipping sauce for chicken mcnuggers. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I loved yuzu flavor. That's fat. Oh my god, this
Speaker 2: sounds so good.
Speaker 4: I struggle with watching people start like the fast food
Speaker 4: eating thing. Right, when people eat food, it's kind of
Speaker 4: weirdness in their car that's like biting a boot like
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, this is kind of weird anyway.
Speaker 4: But when you when you're starting to see them progressively
Speaker 4: gain weight, You're like, I'm supporting weight gain here.
Speaker 2: This isn't great. Well did we speak to Bill about this?
Speaker 2: Have we ever spoken to or.
Speaker 4: We did speak to Bill about seam ham society, which
Speaker 4: is he's seeing he's got Yeah, I think yeah.
Speaker 2: Was there asking like, doe you concerned about, you know,
Speaker 2: becoming a big boy a big buy I'm keeping my
Speaker 2: own things and now I'm not eating like this all
Speaker 2: the time and I only have little bits and all
Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. It's like, okay, well what do
Speaker 2: you Bill? We love we love you, Bill, Yes, we
Speaker 2: love what you but you know, be more steamed things
Speaker 2: this hand things.
Speaker 4: Anyway, So yeah, home has threatened to drive him to
Speaker 4: the tree. Blah blah blah, oh stupidity. Right, the dinner
Speaker 4: party now, and I'm like, this isn't the party I expected.
Speaker 2: Party is not. This is meal. Well, this is an
Speaker 2: event it is and look, you could be the Simpsons
Speaker 2: writers could be very well saying that's the joke when
Speaker 2: it's like, this isn't so much a cool party for
Speaker 2: Lenny's friends. It's more like this is me, Lenny Big,
Speaker 2: noting himself a bit doing the real I guess humble
Speaker 2: brag of like thank you for being a friend. And
Speaker 2: it's like, but really, you're just kind of like putting
Speaker 2: up signs saying Lenny's great or you know, friending all
Speaker 2: these different languages, but really the keyword is Lenny here.
Speaker 4: It would have been nice to have had one of
Speaker 4: the Golden Girls appear as a guest.
Speaker 2: That's trick. Yeah you get yeah, Betty water room clan,
Speaker 2: where's my money?
Speaker 4: When you walk up to one of them, it's just
Speaker 4: Betty sitting there saying thank you for being a friend
Speaker 4: to Betty.
Speaker 2: Betty are you yeah? Like they check didn't clear? Yeah,
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But he sings the Golden Girls theme I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm always a sucker for the Golden Girls theme, you are,
Speaker 4: It always just makes me happy. Yeah, Barney is glad
Speaker 4: that he's gets getting to take the centerpiece home. He's
Speaker 4: gonna put on his mum's grave.
Speaker 2: Mentions.
Speaker 4: Gift bags here, which are I don't remember as a
Speaker 4: kid going to a birthday party and never getting a
Speaker 4: gift bag. But man, kids, these days it's a thing.
Speaker 4: It is a party now, you judge. I think I
Speaker 4: may have said it's judge a pub by how good
Speaker 4: their party is. Kids, judge a party by how good
Speaker 4: the party bag?
Speaker 2: Take away? And there's no party bag. The kids are
Speaker 2: not happy. That's so weird because I mean simply when
Speaker 2: I was growing, occasionally you've got to take away bag,
Speaker 2: but it was we didn't need all the lollies. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Actually I don't remember actually ever get anyone. I don't
Speaker 2: maybe it didn't happen all the time. It's just like
Speaker 2: a bag. Now they're getting all this extra stuff, like Elliott,
Speaker 2: like they presenting at the Oscars or something. They got
Speaker 2: one from one of his friends school and had lego
Speaker 2: in it. What a little lego?
Speaker 3: Ki?
Speaker 4: I was like, I said to you, spent on the
Speaker 4: arey spent like twenty bucks in each one. I was like,
Speaker 4: ach one the gift back what I don't spent much
Speaker 4: of new kids president And I was.
Speaker 2: Literally pulling the home alone face. I couldn't literally slapping
Speaker 2: his hands to his cheek.
Speaker 4: And this guy she would have had, he must have
Speaker 4: spent twentyred bucks on gift bags. He's like, oh, I
Speaker 4: just I love making a big event for the kids
Speaker 4: and stuff. And I was like, how was the kid
Speaker 4: of this day? This is it was her sixth party?
Speaker 2: Na, no, no, I'm going to remember this then that
Speaker 2: lego is going to go into landfill. Yeah, forget about it.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't go you know, I'll be like, you
Speaker 2: know what, you go to the party. You're got a party.
Speaker 4: The party descended into madness though, and it was great
Speaker 4: in a sense that the dad was just like a
Speaker 4: big kid, right, So clearly it made sense why he
Speaker 4: spent with money on the gift aggs.
Speaker 2: But they had all this ship.
Speaker 4: Organized that we're gonna bring it. We've paid to have
Speaker 4: this scientist come and do a science show and all
Speaker 4: this fucking and like like a petting zoo thing in
Speaker 4: the back, blah blah, blah, what the fuck? And the
Speaker 4: dad just brings out some NERF guns and a kid's
Speaker 4: like no fud and all these kids it was no shit.
Speaker 4: He had like twe NERF guns because he goes. I
Speaker 4: went to like marketplace and this guy was just selling
Speaker 4: those NERF guns I was born for like fifty bucks.
Speaker 4: And the kids just shot NERF guns each other like
Speaker 4: two hours, using like just shooting things around. And the
Speaker 4: parents were backyard. We're getting shot with the nerves, and
Speaker 4: someone were just like, I'm going in dad.
Speaker 2: But you know that they think this dad might be
Speaker 2: a secret genius though.
Speaker 4: You know that, you know the chaos music of the
Speaker 4: Simpsons when there's a riot, That was the reason that
Speaker 4: was going in my head. And all these parents getting
Speaker 4: shot with nerves and it's slowly all just gravitating towards indoors,
Speaker 4: and the kids were just and the dad's out there
Speaker 4: just going just shooting kids in their head and what
Speaker 4: I'm just like, whatever, I have a great time to
Speaker 4: hide in the cuby house, to hide mine in the shed.
Speaker 4: They would just nerve there was nerves and they was
Speaker 4: shooting them over the fence and see how high they
Speaker 4: can get it. The guy's like, I don't care how
Speaker 4: to pay fifty bucks for him. I'm like, if I
Speaker 4: was a six year old, this seems like the ultimate party.
Speaker 2: Then you also get the gift back. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: this dad seems like real King of the Kids stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in a good in good ways and bad. Yeah, just
Speaker 2: watch out for that van. What is not funny? Well,
Speaker 2: can we even cem let's say it's not funny? CM molestation,
Speaker 2: no child abduction? Your fullest day of the episode?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I well, stations funny either.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm well aware. Just made a reference to an
Speaker 4: episode that's true. I was like, because what is not funny?
Speaker 4: CHARLT melestation?
Speaker 2: Yes, answer, child rebduction is not funny either. Recently covered
Speaker 2: on going down to sat Yes, indeed. Yeah, but I
Speaker 2: mean it was a fun party in the sense that
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is just chaos. It was just chaos.
Speaker 2: But yeah, gift backs.
Speaker 4: So but it goes through the gift bags and realize
Speaker 4: that they all have robo vacuums in there. The Rumba
Speaker 4: Nicola really wants a robo vacuum, and I'm just one
Speaker 4: of those people that has to see them work before
Speaker 4: I buy into it. We've got friends are like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: they're great, and I'm like, are they? But how is
Speaker 4: it going to their legs?
Speaker 2: The chair? They must work, but I have to see
Speaker 2: it work before I'll fully commit. I agree with you
Speaker 2: on this. Yes, I recently bought a dice in the
Speaker 2: vacuum clean which I'm very happy with. I like I
Speaker 2: like hand washing dishes. I like doing the vacuuming myself.
Speaker 2: I feel like I've done something, like I've earned my
Speaker 2: clean house.
Speaker 4: So then he opens the door or so who oppens?
Speaker 4: I think maybe mid Lenny. Someone happens the door for
Speaker 4: the for the party bags whatever.
Speaker 2: He does because he wants to show off his gift back.
Speaker 4: Yes, and all of the vacuums come out and they
Speaker 4: go crazy. I did like some of the visual gags
Speaker 4: he like sucking up Moleman and whatnot, going largest hair. Yeah,
Speaker 4: this looked cool. Wigham ends up shooting them all though,
Speaker 4: and he says they've been switched to is it malevolent
Speaker 4: sentience or something something like that.
Speaker 2: And then, by the way, one of my trivia questions
Speaker 2: was what is the name brand of the the robot
Speaker 2: vacuum cleaner? We just said it. I forgot it already.
Speaker 2: What was it. I didn't say it, no, but well,
Speaker 2: the best one known is known as a rumba actual brander.
Speaker 2: I don't think they've got the actual or was it here?
Speaker 2: They called it a vacuum bot a VECB you bought
Speaker 2: all right?

Speaker 5: video games that too? No more non dice board games.
Speaker 5: What you can't take my boulder dish?
Speaker 1: I just did.
Speaker 4: He's confused though here and this was where I was like,
Speaker 4: you need to dove into this, right, But they just
Speaker 4: threw this story out for a cheap visual gag, which
Speaker 4: which word of the color and the N and n's
Speaker 4: as opposed to EM and m's, which is funny because
Speaker 4: Holly calls them and ends, but bartis confused, why am
Speaker 4: I not?
Speaker 2: I don't mean to be bad? Like why am I?
Speaker 2: Why am I like this way?
Speaker 4: And then just cuts to that because you're feeding yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so that could have been a story threat for saying
Speaker 4: I don't mean to be this way.
Speaker 2: I would have liked if they had started up until
Speaker 2: this very moment that he's popping chocolate or drinking carbonated
Speaker 2: beverages or whatever, or.
Speaker 4: He could have been recording when he got to the
Speaker 4: to the vacuum. It could have been a case of
Speaker 4: him not going, well, this looks good, going oh, I
Speaker 4: really should not do it, but the vacuum is saying,
Speaker 4: come on, you turn us on, and he goes it
Speaker 4: was the vacuums.
Speaker 2: Or that there's even lollies in the gift bags that
Speaker 2: he's come and he's getting more and more fired up
Speaker 2: the more he does it.
Speaker 4: Yes, but he wishes he had a different family. Q
Speaker 4: Simon Worcesterfield. And then we also got the who is
Speaker 4: exactly a picker of butar just with glasses and from
Speaker 4: rich family. And then an older version arrives as well,
Speaker 4: who has married a girl.
Speaker 2: Looks very much like a millionhouse.
Speaker 4: Yes, we come out for commercial and I both say
Speaker 4: that their lives a great. They want to do the swap.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah blah. Homie wants to punish but tells
Speaker 4: Barke get out. He wanted to punish you before I
Speaker 4: get drunk and merciful. So they swap the info. Here again,
Speaker 4: Homer just whatever. I'm just skimming past home and now
Speaker 4: because it's just horrible in this episode we know is horrible. Yes,
Speaker 4: I like that they swap the info. He's like, my
Speaker 4: dad's name's home, my mum's name is mum. And then
Speaker 4: the contrast is my butler's name is this, My horse's
Speaker 4: name is this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So he tells the driver as he's driving off in
Speaker 4: the limo to laugh at which is Simon getting choked
Speaker 4: by Homer because Homer is a bad father. He arrives
Speaker 4: at the or he's driving past. It's all the McMansions, McDonald's,
Speaker 4: dreamy McSteamy, Fleetwood, mac mcaulay, Colkenman I liked this little
Speaker 4: piss take here because it happens a lot in these
Speaker 4: kind of films.
Speaker 2: Whatever your house, sir.
Speaker 4: Although you already knew that, why did you introduce that?
Speaker 4: Actually said this last time we watched an episode of
Speaker 4: Monk season three, they go to Vegas, one of the
Speaker 4: best episodes of the series so far. Right, yes, Monk
Speaker 4: goes to Vegas, but they were walking into the casino
Speaker 4: and it's now Sharon from two guys going a pizza play,
Speaker 4: she's the new assistant, right, and she says it happens
Speaker 4: in so many films or TV shows based on episode
Speaker 4: in Las Vegas. Welcome to Vegas, mister Monk. And I'm like,
Speaker 4: you've obviously arrived, checked into your hotel, done a few things.
Speaker 4: You're walking half, you're half in the casino, you're in
Speaker 4: there while you now just all of a sudden go
Speaker 4: welcome to Vegas, mister Monks. Like it's caused the opening
Speaker 4: scene of the episode. Yeah, it's like it's it's stupid,
Speaker 4: but it's totty much this. Well, here's here's your house, sir.
Speaker 4: Old that you already knew that.
Speaker 2: I think I've said it before. Were the normal I
Speaker 2: don't know if they've given a name to the cliche.
Speaker 2: But you hear a lot as as you know, Bob,
Speaker 2: when someone's got to deliver expositions you come back from
Speaker 2: a commercial break, Yeah, or in movies, you know when
Speaker 2: I think I remember it most from like you know
Speaker 2: that one The Day After Tomorrow where I don't remember
Speaker 2: anything about that movie. In some of the shit cgi Wolves, Yeah,
Speaker 2: insane weather is just destroying the planet. Yeah, but there's
Speaker 2: someone in you know, the main us weather sort of
Speaker 2: control players going Dennis Quait is the hero and he's
Speaker 2: saying so and so and so and.
Speaker 4: So, and his boss goes, yeah, we all know that.
Speaker 4: At least you're anowledging it. At least you're acknowledging it
Speaker 4: when to at least turn it into a joke. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was just Simpsons often do.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I don't think they were doing it as
Speaker 2: a joke. In the DA Aftermorrow. I think it's just like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: you've got to have a reason why this guy is
Speaker 2: saying it all, you know, acknowledge that the people in
Speaker 2: the room know this, even though we don't know what.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we all know that now. But this is how No,
Speaker 4: I'm getting old, but checks out these various rooms. The
Speaker 4: best room is the one that he didn't like.
Speaker 2: The library. I was like, what a palace. I know,
Speaker 2: it's like I would live it here, it looks it
Speaker 2: looks unbelievable really to go Why because it would be quiet?
Speaker 2: Oh peace, piece of what book were imagine? Just having
Speaker 2: a library you can just go to and never be bothered.
Speaker 2: So nice. It's just tough life.
Speaker 4: Sorry, everything's great, yes, but just piecing quiet you don't
Speaker 4: appreciate until you make kids. So he's going to his
Speaker 4: bedroom now he's got like I think the ceiling is
Speaker 4: from Saddam's pallace. He's racing car bed is actually a
Speaker 4: racing car. And then Joe Montana is actually in the
Speaker 4: going to say Joe Montana, Joe Montana is actually in
Speaker 4: the painting.
Speaker 2: It's actually because they give what a million dollars to
Speaker 2: not to day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, every single day that he does it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So then he calls Millhouse and said he's going to
Speaker 2: be sending a car. It's the thing.
Speaker 4: Do we actually see Millhouse at the mansion.
Speaker 2: I think we do, don't we does? Because that's it.
Speaker 2: He gets a mad crush on the.
Speaker 4: On the sister, well on both on both. Yes, that's right. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: I guess we do get it. Yeah, I just forgot
Speaker 4: we forget it.
Speaker 2: What are their names again? I didn't say the names.
Speaker 2: I do, but they're really sort of offbeat rich names.
Speaker 4: I will look it up here because our listeners out
Speaker 4: there who aren't going to bother watching the episode and
Speaker 4: will want us to tell them all the little detail.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Who was our pal who just before said I'm
Speaker 2: not really watching season twenty, but you guys are doing
Speaker 2: the lord's work. He would be a Stonecutter of ours,
Speaker 2: and we know that Stonecutter's name. I sure do. Stonecutter's
Speaker 2: name would be one Flemish giant. Oh that's right.
Speaker 4: Flemish siblings are Devon Worsterfield and Quenley Wisterfield.
Speaker 2: That's right. Apparently he has a grand uncle Cracker. He's
Speaker 2: a Cracker executive great grand aunt by marriage Nana Sophie.
Speaker 2: So must come back.
Speaker 4: Well the first cousin once removed Luanne van Holton. Oh
Speaker 4: wait ah, so canon, So he turns out he's related
Speaker 4: to interesting first cousin once removed in law. Oh so
Speaker 4: he's Lewan's cousin. Oh so this kid spoiler turns out
Speaker 4: to be Millhouse's second cousin.
Speaker 2: Guys were well ahead of us. Hasn't even been in.
Speaker 4: This one episode, though he's made one episode appearance that
Speaker 4: was not revealed here, right, No, so there you go.
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to work out how that could be.
Speaker 4: How could it be canon on Simpson's Wiki that Millhouse
Speaker 4: is his second cousin but he only appears in this episode.
Speaker 2: Do you think that the person putting you the Simpsons
Speaker 2: wiki is just writing their own fan fiction at this stage?
Speaker 2: Why not? Because don't forget Dano. We've been fixing episodes
Speaker 2: left right. We're not making them cannon. But you know,
Speaker 2: maybe this person putting together this entry of the Simpson's Wiki,
Speaker 2: it's like spice U up a little bit, a little
Speaker 2: uh bab with a speel.
Speaker 4: They hit it with the spice wheezel your canon whizzle.
Speaker 2: Millhouse second cousin, Well you're really Millhouse's shout to Pamela Hayden.
Speaker 2: By the way, what a lady retired from the show?
Speaker 4: Millhouse has a lot of cousins apparently, Well, he was
Speaker 4: from the from the what's it called the home the
Speaker 4: home Country?
Speaker 2: What's it called the home country? The Old Country? The
Speaker 2: Old Country maybe the Old country, and that sounds like
Speaker 2: something to say, if you if you're at yeah, the
Speaker 2: old country, in the Old Country. Yeah, but yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: were there you go?
Speaker 4: Apparently they are second cousins according to Simpson's wiki.
Speaker 2: Who knew the person the person who wrote since this
Speaker 2: wiki did none of us, no one else did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because apparently Louanne van Houghten is his actual cousin.
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever, I myself, I'm not tied up in canon.
Speaker 4: So now Simon is not enjoying the unhappy food that
Speaker 4: Marge is dished up to him. He's used to eating
Speaker 4: healthy food. I was eating it, just being horrible, spinning
Speaker 4: all over and talking with his mouthful.
Speaker 2: M So I worked at you. We got your memo
Speaker 2: saying everyone's getting new chairs.
Speaker 1: Father, could you talk?
Speaker 2: Love you?
Speaker 4: You bet naturally, I've fow my old chairman reductor right away,
Speaker 4: he said, no, that was the new chair.
Speaker 2: That man was two months old. Don't know. I'm setting
Speaker 2: on an orange crete. I never felt you.
Speaker 1: He stopped spinning food on me. Keep your meal in
Speaker 1: your mouth, you semi literate spew monkey.
Speaker 2: Jet jet boy. You're going your bed without topper.
Speaker 1: That was an odd thing for Bite to say, maybe
Speaker 1: he's going through.
Speaker 2: Certain changes, dead boy, think jampaign to put him to
Speaker 2: four years of puberty. Forget it.
Speaker 4: Honestly, there's not one good version of home so far.
Speaker 2: There's there's no redeeming features in this so far. And
Speaker 2: also except the he tries to save him. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think they missed a bit where everyone in the Simpsons
Speaker 2: family should be enjoying this food. Yeah, this seemingly delicious
Speaker 2: soun and meal, even if it's not very healthy or
Speaker 2: anything like that, but it feels like every other member
Speaker 2: of the family should be having fun or enjoying it.
Speaker 2: But just to heighten the difference between Simon and the
Speaker 2: rest of the Simpsons. But no, they don't really do that.
Speaker 4: It just felt like there was not enough thought put
Speaker 4: into which is something I've said three times so far
Speaker 4: this season.
Speaker 2: And guess what we're three episodes.
Speaker 4: Yes, Milhouse is now having dinner with Bart. He slips
Speaker 4: up corning Bart in front of the butler button then leaves.
Speaker 4: The first Miss Simon and the half brother and the
Speaker 4: half sister arrive and they're beautiful, just the girl not
Speaker 4: the guy as well, and then they hate him because
Speaker 4: he's blocking their full inheritance, and Millhouse reveals he has
Speaker 4: a crush on the new sister, and that's it for
Speaker 4: mill House.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Homer is now fighting over the paper chew toy
Speaker 4: with the dog with a bit of a commentary on
Speaker 4: the war here tell them as it is, and then
Speaker 4: some of them having a phone call.
Speaker 1: This place is insane tonight. I got sent to bed
Speaker 1: without dinner. Ah, yeah, well what's up with your brother
Speaker 1: and sister? They're jealous because my father left their mother
Speaker 1: to be with my mother. Janie, you lost me, Well,
Speaker 1: gotta go enjoy the Upperlaura middle class.
Speaker 2: Margin comes in and brings him a pizza, which I
Speaker 2: thought was so at a character. This felt weird.
Speaker 4: This used to be Homer being the one bringing the
Speaker 4: stuff to the bear because it was like, don't tell
Speaker 4: your mum, there's a little bonding moment between the kids.
Speaker 4: Marg just brings a pepperoni pizza to bed and covers
Speaker 4: it and picks it up. It was nice, but it
Speaker 4: was the opposite.
Speaker 2: Of It was so much of a immediate gearshift from
Speaker 2: Bart's acting up.
Speaker 4: He didn't need his dinner, so why are you bring
Speaker 4: him a pizza in bed?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Because The best version of that is when Bart was
Speaker 4: being naughty. He's like, when he's in the bed, she
Speaker 4: goes you going to bed without dinner. I'm Stubb and
Speaker 4: hopefully I'm a coming believe. So that's the dynamic. That's
Speaker 4: what the dynamic used to be. Now home despises his children,
Speaker 4: or in this episode anyway, despises his children and Marge
Speaker 4: is the one. It's almost like, as we're getting to
Speaker 4: that territory now where Harry Sheer pointed it out, I've
Speaker 4: set it before they pick. They write jokes and assign
Speaker 4: it to a character.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the gags are not specifically designed two characters. They
Speaker 2: are just gags. Gags. The idea of those quotation marks.
Speaker 2: Dania just did the biggest set of air quotes you've
Speaker 2: ever seen in and God didn't like the look at
Speaker 2: them that bekind scary. Yes they were indeed.
Speaker 4: So yeah, much has brought the pizza and someone's there like,
Speaker 4: oh wait, you know what I can I can get
Speaker 4: used to this.
Speaker 2: This, this is this is nice.
Speaker 4: So in his life he likes the rich lifestyle in
Speaker 4: the sense that all the he gets everything he wants,
Speaker 4: but here he's getting love.
Speaker 2: It feels like there are just gaps all the way through.
Speaker 4: It's like we need this, We need to see Simon
Speaker 4: not getting any love from his parents, not mistreated, just just.
Speaker 2: Their cold or even show like the long dinner table
Speaker 2: and they're just not there, like there's this place where
Speaker 2: is father? Yeah there are place settings, but you know
Speaker 2: they're just not there. Yeah. The other thing is, I
Speaker 2: don't know it. I think it might be a bit
Speaker 2: of a trope. When you've got some poor person who
Speaker 2: has ended up in a rich situation, it's usually the
Speaker 2: butler or the help who recognizes, oh, you don't belong here,
Speaker 2: but you've got good character and I'm going to look
Speaker 2: out for you.
Speaker 4: And in the nineties it was always the same guy
Speaker 4: playing the butler. It's the new from Jamunji, the dad
Speaker 4: from jam He is a great butler.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm thinking of trading places, okay, where
Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy takes over Dan Aykroyd's life and he's got Coleman.
Speaker 2: The butler played that. Dan Elliott and Dala Mellick realized like, oh,
Speaker 2: this guy's actually treating me like an equals. He's a
Speaker 2: person of good character. I'm gonna look out for him. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It would have been nice to just throw a little
Speaker 2: bit of that into this. I don't know exactly how,
Speaker 2: but as I said, yeah, it just feels like like
Speaker 2: this is a this is a dumb metaphor. But run
Speaker 2: with me. Picture of blanket. Picture a blanket, blanket pure
Speaker 2: on your boar from Tate. Oh, this seems reaverly good.
Speaker 2: You hold it up to the light and it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of tiny little holes in this. This
Speaker 2: is not bad. This is a quality merge, except oh,
Speaker 2: it's got hole here here, here, here, and here. It's like,
Speaker 2: this could be easily fixed. They could have been easily
Speaker 2: fixed up the factory. Yeah, and that's what this feels like.
Speaker 4: I think they spent too long leading up to the swap.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that could have happened right at the start,
Speaker 4: because you didn't use any of the opening acts to
Speaker 4: to justify why.
Speaker 2: But would want to do this swap? Although to put
Speaker 2: myself into the head of someone at the in the
Speaker 2: Simpsons Rider's room of this stage, to put my head
Speaker 2: into Bill Odenkirk's head, be like, yeah, but we need
Speaker 2: to establish that things are tense between that Bart's acting
Speaker 2: up acting. I'm even more so than usual. So yeah,
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to devote a little time to that.
Speaker 2: But it's seed planning. It's going to pay off later.
Speaker 2: It's like, but it doesn't really for me. It doesn't
Speaker 2: planted too many seeds and there's not a big enough crop.
Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense though, in the sense that Marge
Speaker 4: and Homer had had enough with Bart's naughty behavior and
Speaker 4: now it's just suddenly not being naughty, and none of
Speaker 4: them seem aware of what's going on.
Speaker 2: But even then he's not. It's not enough of the
Speaker 2: gearshift of like Bart was bad and now he's good.
Speaker 2: It's like Bart was bad and now he's a snob
Speaker 2: and he's not even like, Oh, mother and father, I'm
Speaker 2: so glad that we're all having dinner together, how wonderful.
Speaker 2: It's more like, oh, you're a vile, vulgarian. You're spitting
Speaker 2: food in my face. Is like, you sp monkey. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like even Homer not recognizing that. It feels kind
Speaker 2: of dumb and weir. No one recognized except I mean
Speaker 2: I understand why. Yeah, ah, so it's it's no the
Speaker 2: nitpicks are all valid. Yeah, we're picking sermon, and it's
Speaker 2: here like a kid with a.
Speaker 4: Oh we got the first message the other day. It
Speaker 4: was like, it's the headlights is spread at school and
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, it's the no, now my heads is
Speaker 4: You're thinking about it like it's three weeks to go
Speaker 4: under school. You we nearly go through it, and it's like,
Speaker 4: what are knits?
Speaker 2: Let me tell you. Have you have you see a
Speaker 2: close up of them?
Speaker 4: You're like, these things look terrifying when when you zoom
Speaker 4: in on them, like there's little creatures in your head.
Speaker 2: Oh, all insects are terrifying. You're zooming closure. Have you
Speaker 2: ever seen the picture like the six hundred times magnification
Speaker 2: of like an ant's face. It looks like the motherfucker
Speaker 2: wants to kill me. Oh, let's sleeve it fine, I'll
Speaker 2: google it. So six hundred times. I'm pretty sure its
Speaker 2: six hundred times, just like just microscope microscopic close up.
Speaker 2: I know, right, that looks like crampus. Yeah, that's an
Speaker 2: ant's face. Look and it's like I want to kill you.
Speaker 2: No way. Are they its eyes or just antlers? I
Speaker 2: don't know. Let's put in the show notes. Yeah, that's scary.
Speaker 4: That is a perfect you need to make an ant
Speaker 4: horror movie and that is the face of the cover.
Speaker 2: There have been giant ant movies, I mean the whole Yeah.
Speaker 4: Don't remind me of the poor giant ant from How Honey,
Speaker 4: I Shunt the Kids still hurts me to this day.
Speaker 2: I don't really remember. We will talk about.
Speaker 4: The faster moment Honey Shun the kids is when the
Speaker 4: kids gets shrunk. Obviously, they're in the backyard or whatever
Speaker 4: it is, the front yard, and they become friends with
Speaker 4: this ant, and this ant risk its life when a
Speaker 4: scorpion comes around and fends off the scorpy, and the
Speaker 4: scorpion kills the ant and it dies in their arms,
Speaker 4: and it's like.
Speaker 2: My goodness, oh shit, holy moly, why am I crying
Speaker 2: over an ant?
Speaker 4: So we had children of the nineties, the three fuck
Speaker 4: you moments when kids movies were willing to make you cry.
Speaker 4: It was the ant dying, Honey, I Shunt the kids,
Speaker 4: Littlefoot's mum dying in the land before Time, and then
Speaker 4: Fussa being killed by scar. Did you have any members
Speaker 4: of that when you were a kid? Oh gosh, deaths
Speaker 4: or moments and movies that stuck with you and you're
Speaker 4: like you just never forgotten to the point where you'd
Speaker 4: rewatch the movie and you'd almost want to fast forward
Speaker 4: that part.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were certainly some traumatic things like that. I
Speaker 2: think the main one for eighties kids. And look, I'm
Speaker 2: saying this is necessarily one of my favorite movies. But yeah,
Speaker 2: what is it. What's the name of the horse in
Speaker 2: the Never Ending Story? Oh? Yeah, don't make it through
Speaker 2: the swamp.
Speaker 4: No, but at least it survives at the end. Well yeah,
Speaker 4: but still when it goes and you're like, they're killing.
Speaker 2: The horse, cool bloom? Oh man, kids, movies used to
Speaker 2: be cold blooded. Yeah, they're just like, don't worry, kids,
Speaker 2: everything's fun because we've got to make a chequel watching
Speaker 2: above men because you know, because we live many Yeah,
Speaker 2: your money.
Speaker 4: Is that one create adorable characters, that three profit. What's
Speaker 4: step two?
Speaker 2: Don't kill, don't kill? We sold the whole underpants anyway.
Speaker 4: So yes, So going back, So Bart's now at the
Speaker 4: fancy party, which is looks like a rap video before
Speaker 4: the rappers show up the siblings and lock him in.
Speaker 4: What are these things called. It's not a grave but mausoleum, mausoleum. Okay,
Speaker 4: because they said the bodies turned to licorice. After a while,
Speaker 4: I did like that. I was something to think that
Speaker 4: they're not going to not blaying his liquorice story. So
Speaker 4: Smith's ends up letting him out and then Burns becomes
Speaker 4: friends with me basically because he has a bigger fortune
Speaker 4: or he has a bigger fortune. He thinks that hears
Speaker 4: Simon and he says he was once the youngest. Now
Speaker 4: they don't outwardly say this, and they don't even.
Speaker 2: Really imply it. But killed all his siblings.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they don't make a punchine or any sort
Speaker 4: of reference. They thought this, they're going there, and then
Speaker 4: they don't do it. Yeah, but I thought it as well,
Speaker 4: So I mean you thought it as well. Oh yeah, Well,
Speaker 4: it just seems like that's where they were going, and they.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a master stroke on the part of the
Speaker 2: part of the creatives that it's like, oh, did he.
Speaker 4: Kill them because he's going watching out for them. They
Speaker 4: didn't say I should know because I did it, But
Speaker 4: he doesn't actually say that he did it.
Speaker 2: I wonder if they did make it more obvious, if
Speaker 2: you know, he sort of slipped up and said, yes,
Speaker 2: I wonder how I killed or I mean I wonder
Speaker 2: who killed all those people? If you, if Snyder, fuckers
Speaker 2: like you, and I would go thanks for telegraphing your punches. Yeah, Daniel,
Speaker 2: I could fix this in five minutes. But then burns.
Speaker 4: They're making pathetic again with the sea saucing. I wish
Speaker 4: I would have stopped with these silly gags that stop
Speaker 4: making pathetic, making them frightening.
Speaker 2: Again, make them scary. It make him a scary end face. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 4: Grandpa then is telling stories to Simon about shooting Buffalo's
Speaker 4: and someone's actually listening. He's like, oh shit, now an
Speaker 4: ending for this story. List is confused. What didn't listen
Speaker 4: to his stories? And I was, Oh, it's the war
Speaker 4: to end all wars. PEPSI continued challenging Coke. I thought
Speaker 4: Pepsi cokes to outseales PEPs But Pepsi's.
Speaker 2: Up there now when it comes to oh, it's very
Speaker 2: much a duopoly now it feels like it doesn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't. PEPs is not going anywhere. It's not like R. C. Colon,
Speaker 2: Jolt Color.
Speaker 4: Lai Coler, Yeah, whatever, Yeah, I tried that about six
Speaker 4: months ago. I thought, you know what, fuck you? Cole
Speaker 4: was just gonna get the cheat one. I was like,
Speaker 4: oh no, if the kids wouldn'tdrink it, the kids like
Speaker 4: this doesn't taste like PEPSI. Lisa then wants Bart back.
Speaker 4: She what's the old butt back?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: So she slaps him. He doesn't do anything about it.
Speaker 4: The old butt would have thrown me out the window. Okay,
Speaker 4: So now she knows something has to be done well.
Speaker 2: And also the fact that yeah, Simon is using terms
Speaker 2: like defenestrate.
Speaker 4: Exactly, but is packing these bags And did you know
Speaker 4: if you packed the fish take it. I had a
Speaker 4: little mini blinking in there.
Speaker 2: I didn't know fish. Yeah. I think I was just
Speaker 2: too disturbed by the whole putting. You know, there are
Speaker 2: certain things that's irrational, just like, oh god, that's really
Speaker 2: given me the weirds. Yeah, putting a fish tank in
Speaker 2: the in the suitcase and trying to close it. I
Speaker 2: was like, ah, I don't like that. It's poor fish. Poor.
Speaker 2: I don't know, just yeah, there are certain things that
Speaker 2: just give you the nails down a chalkboard feeling, and
Speaker 2: oh yeah, for some reason, that was it.
Speaker 4: Everyone has there there's something there's something, Yeah, whine is
Speaker 4: toenails or pens being clipped the sound the clip they clicking,
Speaker 4: cutting too close to the and getting the little on
Speaker 4: other things at the head dubs hailes not fun at all.
Speaker 4: But they come to him and say, oh, you must
Speaker 4: be packing for a trip to.
Speaker 2: We have a skate trip.
Speaker 4: Now you remembers, Oh, mister Burns said that they'd be
Speaker 4: be a skate trip, but they'd get me.
Speaker 5: Scrubbing you is easy because you've been pre rented.
Speaker 1: And when you're covered with goul, that's when I'm scrubbing you.
Speaker 1: Scrub up up, scrub up a pump man ark. Okay,
Speaker 1: something to tell you. I don't like the look of
Speaker 1: those air quotes. So now Barge is on his way
Speaker 1: to Aspen. They're going to try to kill him.
Speaker 2: Thank you future Bart for traveling back through time to warn.
Speaker 4: Thank your future Bart for traveling back in time to
Speaker 4: warn us. Other than that, that's fine, that that's the
Speaker 4: appreciate silly Homer. You know it's not mean, it's not
Speaker 4: mean spirited, and from the rest of the episode home
Speaker 4: is actually good. They jumps off the so they arrive
Speaker 4: in Aspen. The Champagno's blah blah blah. You also think
Speaker 4: you're not just call the police in Aspen. So the
Speaker 4: siblings are now they pushed Bart down the hill and
Speaker 4: then she offers the other brother a potato.
Speaker 2: Yes, which is a call back to early We didn't
Speaker 2: really sort of allude to it, but yeah, most of
Speaker 2: the Burns's siblings died from poisoned potatoes exactly.
Speaker 4: Homer then jumps off the ski lift to say, Bart,
Speaker 4: come on, gravity used to be cool. What are we
Speaker 4: doing here? And they turn into a snowball. They go
Speaker 4: down the hill and been the hot in the hot tub,
Speaker 4: and then they get kick out because they're not members
Speaker 4: of the clubs. They go back to a snowball again,
Speaker 4: and the episode just ends very abruptly. So Simon just
Speaker 4: gets back into his car. He realizes, you know what,
Speaker 4: I'm going to enjoy having a Sunday. What in the
Speaker 4: back of my car he with the butler did he.
Speaker 2: Sort of give somebody came like, oh oh miss the
Speaker 2: simple pleasures of life with the Simpson And then he's like,
Speaker 2: but he's got the fanciest sunday. Yeah, the gold lif
Speaker 2: I can understand. The Diamond Sharts is just gonna do
Speaker 2: rig heavy on your inside.
Speaker 4: I think it would have been better if he had
Speaker 4: to go, I ner, if I can give up this,
Speaker 4: mom Mum will call him Marge mum or whatever, and
Speaker 4: then have the window come down saying sir your sunday.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, yes, and yeah exactly.
Speaker 4: That would have been a better way to do that
Speaker 4: in my opinion, But Homer wants to go after them.
Speaker 4: Don't leave you with them again, bad father once again.
Speaker 4: And I never thought i'd say this, but I missed
Speaker 4: you guys, which was.
Speaker 2: Like, I'm pretty sure last what you missed them.
Speaker 4: But anyway, Marge and tucks bart in and he says
Speaker 4: this is the life, which was a sweet ending. It's
Speaker 4: just this needed to be more of the story. Yes,
Speaker 4: the tuckings needed to be more emphasized by getting no
Speaker 4: tuck in by the we even see the parents do
Speaker 4: that's the thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you needed to ramp up the role of
Speaker 2: the butler a bit more, all this kind of business.
Speaker 2: But now they were like five or six good bits
Speaker 2: in this, and they're sort of enough to string the
Speaker 2: rest of the episode around and build a bit of
Speaker 2: a great something solid, but they just don't make the
Speaker 2: most of it.
Speaker 4: But needed to see that, you know, home is a
Speaker 4: deck and he choked and whatnot, but getting absolutely nothing
Speaker 4: from the parents from his dad, and he's go, oh
Speaker 4: great either, like maybe, like you know, it could be
Speaker 4: he could act upright at that rich place and the
Speaker 4: parents don't give a shit.
Speaker 2: Right, I need boundaries.
Speaker 4: He's like, ah, well, I'm not even getting reactions.
Speaker 2: Isn't fun? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4: And then he goalies, Oh wait, I am the problem
Speaker 4: because I'm doing it for a reaction anyway.
Speaker 2: Good lord, we've made this episode like eight times better.
Speaker 2: What do we learn bomb? All right? What did you
Speaker 2: learn from episode?
Speaker 4: Mister Davis that if I'm going to beat someone silly
Speaker 4: with a magazine, I think ladies magazine that's full of advertisements,
Speaker 4: do it in the blind spot of the security camera. Yes,

Speaker 4: has twenty one episodes. The finale is called coming to
Speaker 4: Home America. Oh, there you go, speaking of Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 4: He's coming to America, isn't he that?
Speaker 2: That is? Yes?
Speaker 4: Is that the one we pretends he's blind? Is that
Speaker 4: coming to America?
Speaker 2: No places? And here where his guy? That's funny. Okay,
Speaker 2: what I can see it's a miracle.
Speaker 4: Eddie Murphy needs prime. I would say, what a lord.
Speaker 2: Some might say that what a lord? And now take
Speaker 2: it away. I don't know if this person's especially well.
Speaker 2: They're not in the news just at the moment. They
Speaker 2: will be soon because a movie of this is going
Speaker 2: to be talked about on the movie Guide with Molten
Speaker 2: and Davis. Um, let me try and remember exactly the
Speaker 2: schedule that Danno put. If you're a patient of four
Speaker 2: figure discount, don't remember Dan, I can just do it.
Speaker 4: It's going to be available next week on the Movie
Speaker 4: Guy Patreon channel. You want to get access to Hearing
Speaker 4: Guy and then to talk about Galaxy Quest starring Tim Allen.
Speaker 2: So I would call what a lord? Now some people
Speaker 2: mean be saying Tim Allen, why exactly? And but then
Speaker 2: like this dude's got staying power. I mean Home Improvement
Speaker 2: went for goodness knows how long have you?
Speaker 4: Eight seasons? For eight seasons and it could have kept going.
Speaker 4: But he's like, I'm out. I've got a buzz Light
Speaker 4: of your money.
Speaker 2: Because you know why, because he's voicing one of the
Speaker 2: main characters and one of the most popular animated franchises
Speaker 2: of the late twentieth and early twenty first century. Yeah,
Speaker 2: talking about Toy Story. He's the voice of buzz Light. Yeh. Yeah. Indeed,
Speaker 2: not only that, he's started to do others. Well, you know,
Speaker 2: in the wake of Home Improvement did other sitcoms. Not
Speaker 2: many people here would maybe no Last Man Standing, but
Speaker 2: that's gone for something like seven years or went for something.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I went for longer than that, went for longer.
Speaker 2: He got Likeck Revived, didn't it? I think?
Speaker 4: So I was looking at these other films that weren't
Speaker 4: as popular. Had the Shaggy Dog Jungle to Jungle Joe,
Speaker 4: Somebody Joe Somebody's Terrible? Christopher Crank's though very popular. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 4: So I'm just gonna go to what was the show
Speaker 4: Last Man Standing? Yeah, but where's the new one he's got?
Speaker 4: I wanted Shifting Gears?
Speaker 2: Shifting Gears, that's right, you know, in a shock to
Speaker 2: people who have watched a timil and said, come, he's
Speaker 2: a man who's sort of out of sync with the times,
Speaker 2: and he's got younger people in his love were saying,
Speaker 2: why did you get with the times? Old man? He's like,
Speaker 2: but I make more money and Step three profit. But
Speaker 2: I haven't we mentioned Galaxy Quest. I mean, he's the
Speaker 2: lead of a movie that is pretty much universally beloved.
Speaker 2: Have you ever met anyone said you know what sucks
Speaker 2: this Galaxy Quest? You know, you probably haven't met them,
Speaker 2: or you've done at social they've not seen it. If
Speaker 2: you've got like, you haven't seen it. Basically, I watched it.
Speaker 2: I couldn't I need to for the first lot two
Speaker 2: years ago, right, as well as one of these films
Speaker 2: where I'm like, ah, I'll get to I get to it,
Speaker 2: and I watched it. I was like, this pit was
Speaker 2: made for me? Why did I not get to this?
Speaker 2: This was literally made for me? This movie that you know,
Speaker 2: he's got the odd role where he's sort of taken
Speaker 2: a middle more of a dramatic turn. I mentioned the
Speaker 2: Dan earlier, the movie called Red Belt, written directed by
Speaker 2: David Namontt, and he's sort of playing this uh semi
Speaker 2: washed up action movie star who gets into a fight
Speaker 2: at a bar one night because people are always like
Speaker 2: trying to step to him. He's really good, and he
Speaker 2: may not be playing a character too far removed from misself,
Speaker 2: but it's like, dude, you're more versatile than people are
Speaker 2: giving you credit for. You know, you've got big hits,
Speaker 2: You've got critically acclaimed movies. Why are people giving you
Speaker 2: more respect? So, yeah, there's a whole thing about snitch
Speaker 2: on your mates because he didn't want to do your
Speaker 2: full time in prison.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you look at his his mog shot, it
Speaker 4: is like he looks like the snitch.
Speaker 2: Yeah. At the same time, he also looks like a
Speaker 2: roadie for the Doobie Brothers or something he does. Yeah, yeah, definite.
Speaker 2: But you know what, I occasionally we go against the grain.
Speaker 2: I will go against popular opinion, going yes, so I'm
Speaker 2: gonna Tim Allen the Lord.
Speaker 4: And I've always enjoyed Home Improvement. As I was saying
Speaker 4: to you, off the air, is one of those shows
Speaker 4: where you may not like it, but you cannot deny
Speaker 4: the fact that it is basic, simple sitcom premise that
Speaker 4: just works.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. It is the mac and Cheese of sitcoms. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's enjoyable stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it says he's shifting gears. Premiere is in January.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to see
Speaker 4: because I missed sitcoms. Now this is going to be
Speaker 4: a classic sitcom in front of an audience. I am
Speaker 4: all about it because hopefully tim Alie can revive sitcoms again.
Speaker 2: I'm not putting it past him to me though, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so Tim Allen is what a Lord? What a Lord? Indeed?
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: That is our review of Double Double Boy in Trouble.
Speaker 4: I hope you guys enjoyed it. Next of us said,
Speaker 4: I've forfigured discount season twenty. Ooh, it's tree House of
Speaker 4: Horror nineteen.
Speaker 2: That's right. When I saw that come up on the
Speaker 2: Disney Plus service, which I know how I watched this
Speaker 2: episode of The Simpsons, I was like, hey, we usually
Speaker 2: do this a little earlier, but I'm sure there's a
Speaker 2: reason that a Treehouse of Horror is a little later
Speaker 2: in the game.
Speaker 4: It's always about episode four or five now because because
Speaker 4: what happened was it used to premiere around the end
Speaker 4: of a hall in time, so they started with it.
Speaker 4: But now since like a few years ago, they have
Speaker 4: been in September, so they want to train.
Speaker 2: And make an insta about Helen. Okay, Yessten, so that
Speaker 2: explains why. Thank you for the explanation.
