Speaker 1: Hey guys, Dano here, Welcome to this week's episode of
Speaker 1: four Finger Discount. We do appreciate all of your support
Speaker 1: here at the network. Now I'm here to give you
Speaker 1: guys a bit of a heads up. As you may
Speaker 1: be able to tell from the title, you're not going
Speaker 1: to be getting a season twenty review this week. What
Speaker 1: you're getting is a Patreon exclusive review. We are releasing
Speaker 1: it now for free as a bonus for you guys,
Speaker 1: for all of your support here over the last ten years,
Speaker 1: almost ten years, and it's going to be a review
Speaker 1: of Homer alone. Now. We recorded this two and a
Speaker 1: half years ago and released it exclusively on our Patreon
Speaker 1: where we release bonus callback reviews, classic reviews with guy
Speaker 1: myself regularly on our Patreon channel week and support us
Speaker 1: and get access to these. But I'll give it to
Speaker 1: you for free because this week it's been a bit hard,
Speaker 1: been a bit behind schedule. Because you may or may
Speaker 1: not be aware I've not supported of ours on Patreon
Speaker 1: that my wife, Nicola, co host of the One About
Speaker 1: Friends podcast, she is back in the UK. Well, she
Speaker 1: came back last night, but she's been over in the
Speaker 1: UK for the last three weeks. Visiting family, and I've
Speaker 1: stayed back here in Australia with the children just so
Speaker 1: Nickola can go have some time with the family by herself.
Speaker 1: And I've been doing Dan daycare for three weeks and
Speaker 1: it's been a bit chaotic, you know, It's been fun
Speaker 1: learn a few things. But I thought, what better episode
Speaker 1: to release for free as a bonus Patreon exclusive to
Speaker 1: allow us off your back on track. Then Homer Alone,
Speaker 1: an absolute classic episode Homer is home by himself with
Speaker 1: the kids. I feel I did a better job than Homer,
Speaker 1: but I can certainly relate a lot more to Homer
Speaker 1: in this episode. Now. So this is our review of
Speaker 1: Homer Alone that we recorded back in August of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. We thought we were releasted it for free
Speaker 1: for you guys, and we're back on track as of

Speaker 2: underappreciated housewife has snapped and parked her car on the bridge,
Speaker 2: refusing to budge. This reporter is now going to be
Speaker 2: lowered down in the Channel six Sky Harness for an
Speaker 2: exclusive interview.
Speaker 3: Now, hey, how what.
Speaker 4: Hey, sweetheart? What's the matter?
Speaker 3: Not getting enough of the good stuff at home?
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 1: Welcome to Guy on Springfield. Yes, the very first episode
Speaker 1: officially of Guy on Springfield here on the four Finger

Speaker 1: We'll love each and every single one of you. So
Speaker 1: basically Guy on Springfield. Oh, first of all, I'll produce myself.
Speaker 1: I'm Dan. Oh you are Guy on Springfield. You are
Speaker 1: Guy on Springfield? Yes, Guy on Springfield. Middle name On.
Speaker 1: So basically, Go on Springfield is the show where Guy
Speaker 1: and myself we go back and revisit a classic episode
Speaker 1: from the first ten seasons of The Simpsons. Voted by
Speaker 1: our patrons each and every month on the Patreon channel,
Speaker 1: we'll them choose an episode we go back and revisit it.
Speaker 1: Because Guy joined us in season eleven, as you'd be
Speaker 1: well aware, so we go back pick an episode from
Speaker 1: the Golden Era, and we revisit it, and today we
Speaker 1: are here to review eight f one four Homer Alone,
Speaker 1: an incredible episode of The Simpsons, A very underrated episode
Speaker 1: that doesn't get spoken about enough. I thought this was
Speaker 1: just amazing.
Speaker 5: How was this episode underrated? Who is not singing the
Speaker 5: praises of Homer alone?
Speaker 1: We just never see it on my best of list.
Speaker 1: It's always the same cliche ones. And if I ask
Speaker 1: someone was your favorite episode, this one very rarely gets
Speaker 1: brought up, and myself as well. I hadn't revisited this
Speaker 1: one in quite some time, and now that I've only
Speaker 1: I've revisited it, actually since I've been a dad. So
Speaker 1: now that I'm a dad with a wife who's very
Speaker 1: stressed out and underappreciated, and a forl worked who could
Speaker 1: probably do with a visit to ranch over Lexo, and
Speaker 1: two kids that just demand attention. I love them, but
Speaker 1: I relate to this episode so much because if Nicola
Speaker 1: left the house, I would be Homer.
Speaker 5: Well, I literally am a Homer alone, given that I
Speaker 5: am not a single gentleman, but I am a gentleman
Speaker 5: who lives by himself.
Speaker 1: The lovely Louise lives across.
Speaker 5: Town, and yes I do visit there a fair bit,
Speaker 5: but yes I'm alone, gentleman. But even then, you know,
Speaker 5: there are still times when I feel the stresses of
Speaker 5: modern life feels like it's a rat in my brain.
Speaker 5: So yes, I can relate to Marge in the sense
Speaker 5: I can certainly relate to Homer in terms of like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, if I had to care for a
Speaker 5: small child, for an infant, I'd just be all at sea.
Speaker 5: So yeah, but there's so much to enjoy in this episode,
Speaker 5: and just from the very beginning to the very very end,
Speaker 5: there's not a wasted moment, not a wasted opportunity. That's
Speaker 5: stuff that we talk about a fair bit on the
Speaker 5: show of how you know, a good episode of The
Speaker 5: Simpsons uses every part of the buffalo, and that's exactly
Speaker 5: what this one does. It's just chock full of great visuals,
Speaker 5: Grade one liners and at the base of it, I'm
Speaker 5: sorry to keep repeating myself, folks, but it's just got
Speaker 5: a really good solid storyline, you know. I mean that
Speaker 5: works on multiple levels as well. Marge is stressed out,
Speaker 5: needs a break home, rest to take over. He doesn't
Speaker 5: know what the fuck he's doing. The kids have to stay.
Speaker 5: The kids have to stay with with Paddy and Selma,
Speaker 5: and they hate it.
Speaker 1: Oh, the March doesn't trust Homer with the kids. That
Speaker 1: is true. That is true.
Speaker 5: And Maggie makes it a little bit of a getaway
Speaker 5: and a searching for Marge all over down and seeing
Speaker 5: you in all these various spots, but they don't turn
Speaker 5: out to be March.
Speaker 1: There's so much happening. It's really just chock full of goodness. Yes,
Speaker 1: but as we say that, and I do completely agree,
Speaker 1: But it's also just such a very simple premise as well.
Speaker 1: It's not an elaborate story, but it's a very simple story.
Speaker 1: But it's a lot happening. And I think of all
Speaker 1: the revisited classics that Guy's Prefit episodes have done so far,
Speaker 1: this one I think's felt the most human. It's just
Speaker 1: so normal because I think anyone who is married with
Speaker 1: a couple of kids who are still at a young
Speaker 1: age can relate to this. It's impossible to not relate
Speaker 1: to this episode in one way or another. It's just
Speaker 1: it's amazing.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, even if you don't have, you know, kids
Speaker 5: gloring at your little trouser eggs or anything like that,
Speaker 5: everyone has felt the stresses of everyday life and just
Speaker 5: you know, needs to take a little bit of a
Speaker 5: break every once in a while.
Speaker 1: Life is stressful. Life is indeed stressful. I mean, take
Speaker 1: some time out for yourself. If you're listening or watching
Speaker 1: right now and you haven't treated yourself to something, go
Speaker 1: and treat yourself as important at least once a week.
Speaker 1: Treat yourself to something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, even if it's only an episode of four Finger Discount.
Speaker 1: Exactly right, or if it's just an apple pie for
Speaker 1: me Donald's.
Speaker 5: Or a kremble at pipe but maybe an apple pie.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 5: But we like to think of ourselves as the wrench
Speaker 5: Overlaxo a podcast.
Speaker 1: Yes, we try to be with my sweet sweet voice
Speaker 1: and your I love. I think people listen to this
Speaker 1: show for your laugh. My aim of each podcast is
Speaker 1: to get you to do the well you can't breathe laughs,
Speaker 1: one of life's pure joys. Well, we'll work on.
Speaker 5: We'll see what we can find this shot with this episode,
Speaker 5: because there's plenty of moments.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my favorite. So what were your favorite moments from
Speaker 1: Homer alone?
Speaker 5: What did I enjoy in this? Aside from the humor,
Speaker 5: one bit that I really liked was showing how efficient
Speaker 5: Marge was it changing Maggie. I'm always a sucker for
Speaker 5: anyone who's good at their job or good at their task.
Speaker 5: And admittedly it's sort of muscle memory for Marge at
Speaker 5: this stage. You know, she's on her third kid, and
Speaker 5: she's got the nappy changing or the diaper changing for
Speaker 5: our American friends process down to or fine art. But
Speaker 5: I just love that, you know, nothing but Nett getting
Speaker 5: into the getting the dirty nappy into the bin. I
Speaker 5: don't know, I just like that sequence. Thought it was
Speaker 5: pretty well done.
Speaker 1: Well, it was great because it gets paid off later
Speaker 1: her Homer can't put the nap beyond, so he staples there.
Speaker 5: There there's one bit in here that strikes me as
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure the Simpsons didn't invent this, but it
Speaker 5: felt like the generation that grew up on the Simpsons
Speaker 5: learned it from the Simpsons. It's when Maggie sort of
Speaker 5: walking the streets or crawling the streets, and she goes
Speaker 5: past lou Brigham Palace or whatever it is, and that
Speaker 5: the squeaky voice teens out the front.
Speaker 1: Go now job while you wake Ufna so the guys
Speaker 1: don't touch me.
Speaker 5: That's that that really strikes me as such a just
Speaker 5: a classic Simpsons gag.
Speaker 1: Just that don't touch me. So, yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 5: And anytime, well you've got squeaky voice teen putting on
Speaker 5: an English accent, that's brilliant.
Speaker 1: Love that.
Speaker 5: I got a big, big laugh at Homer calling the
Speaker 5: missing person's hotline or the missing baby hotline and baby
Speaker 5: come back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean reminded me of the Treos of Horror
Speaker 1: where Marge is calling the hotline for the krusty dog
Speaker 1: that's killing Homer and she answers the phone. It's like
Speaker 1: everybody loves the clown, so why don't you? But my
Speaker 1: favorite bit, it's not really a joke, it's sort of
Speaker 1: a joke.
Speaker 5: Yeah, But Marge gets to Rancho Alexo and she's listening
Speaker 5: to w Koma I think, and it's the adults tones
Speaker 5: of Harry.
Speaker 1: She was saying, no.
Speaker 5: Super set of songs about clouds, which is something I
Speaker 5: have put into my everyday vernacular when I just want
Speaker 5: to describe something really just completely chilled. It's like there
Speaker 5: was a super set of song about cloud What did
Speaker 5: you enjoy, Dana, what were your favorite bits?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Just this is more about the story and I forgot
Speaker 1: to mention in the little intro there, but I just
Speaker 1: love how they acknowledged how important Marge is to the
Speaker 1: structure of the family. She doesn't have a job, but
Speaker 1: trust me, being a mother and being a wife, it's
Speaker 1: the job that's probably the hardest job in the world,
Speaker 1: that is probably probably is the hardest job in the world.
Speaker 1: But it was just it was great because I'm going
Speaker 1: into just thinking this would be really good for little
Speaker 1: kids and husbands watching it with their kids to watch
Speaker 1: this and go, shit, maybe I should probably respect my
Speaker 1: spouse more and do more for it. It's actually it's
Speaker 1: actually a learning lesson in this episode. Really well done.
Speaker 5: I don't want to throw any children under the bus here,
Speaker 5: but believe me, I love throwing children under the bus,
Speaker 5: both literally and metaphorically. But I was over at the
Speaker 5: Lovely Louises last night.
Speaker 1: Louise can even have the sandwich.
Speaker 5: She contacted me and she's like, I'm really tired, do
Speaker 5: you want to come over for dinner?
Speaker 1: And I sort of read that as kind of do
Speaker 1: you want to make dinner? I'm like, I got no
Speaker 1: problem with that.
Speaker 5: I'd had a relatively lazy afternoon, you know, listening to
Speaker 5: a super set of songs about clouds, and.
Speaker 1: He rocked up with me Donalds. Right, No, I did not.
Speaker 5: Lou has got the sincely got the Hello Fresh kits.
Speaker 5: She had Dinnery for a while and now she's onto
Speaker 5: how Fresh.
Speaker 1: Used have the free membership deal, So she'd been on
Speaker 1: to the next one. I think so.
Speaker 5: But I got there and we were having what was
Speaker 5: it like Caribbean rissoles or something along those lines. It
Speaker 5: was actually pretty nice and fairly easily to assemble. Fairly
Speaker 5: easy to assemble, and I was feeling like Jamie Oliver
Speaker 5: in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: Just weping it all together. Of course, with the Lovely
Speaker 1: Luisa's help. The deal. We've talked about the.
Speaker 5: Deal in the past. Whoever doesn't cook cleans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how it should work. It makes sense.
Speaker 5: We serve up the dish to the two boys who
Speaker 5: were there, and they're out the door, so we left
Speaker 5: with this kitchen looks like a bomb hit at No
Speaker 5: looks I'm cleaning as well.
Speaker 1: I've got no I should have said that out loud.
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem.
Speaker 5: Wait what, No, I didn't have a problem with it either. Actually,
Speaker 5: I mean the Lovely Louis and I did a bit
Speaker 5: of clean together and then we chilled on the couch
Speaker 5: with some ninety days. I want, how do we.
Speaker 1: Get to this? Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I was really underbusses, which I'm gonna go
Speaker 5: do after this. I'm just gonna find a random kid. Yeh,
Speaker 5: trick your mother better. But it got me thinking about
Speaker 5: when I was a young man and I was probably like, thanks.
Speaker 1: For doing a mom.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go no play, I play with myself, probably
Speaker 5: play Scotch.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Please stickball? Your kids want to play
Speaker 1: stick ball again? One of my favorite Simpson's lines ever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5: I think this episode should be sort of mandatory viewing
Speaker 5: for uh, neglectful husbands or not neglectful, but just.
Speaker 1: Just any husband or child, just to remind you your
Speaker 1: mom's there. God forbid your mom isn't there, but you know,
Speaker 1: if your mom's still there, whoever is in that role
Speaker 1: in your life, respect them, look after them, help them out,
Speaker 1: respect the mother. Yeah, don't take them for granted, that
Speaker 1: is for sure. But my favorite moments were I love
Speaker 1: the guy walking up, look, let it this better be good?
Speaker 1: Is it in the bolt? Also, mister teenie, stop feeling
Speaker 1: with Look now you got chucking over everything. Just so
Speaker 1: I'm like, that is me when I'm in the car
Speaker 1: with the kids, or just like, mister teeny is my children.
Speaker 1: Don't now look what you've done? I said, don't touch it? Now?
Speaker 1: Is this baller part? Then he starts crying and I
Speaker 1: get louder. And I also really liked, hey, baby or hay, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: what's the matter. Don't get enough of the good stuff
Speaker 1: for home? That is just so much. That is such
Speaker 1: a power planted factory mentality, Like all blokes are, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: and enough good stuff? And oh I thought it was
Speaker 1: fucking so good.
Speaker 3: Next question, you there eating the beast.

Speaker 1: It's justin Sherman, justin Sherman. AyKa, what a horrible, horrible prank.

Speaker 1: When I was younger, I liked it, but then I
Speaker 1: grew up and went it's when I got to the
Speaker 1: age where I went, would I like this? If this
Speaker 1: happened to me hollowly not. And your final question, where
Speaker 1: did Arnie Prye drop his bagel? The corner of fourteenth
Speaker 1: and something?
Speaker 5: Fourteenth and a nightmare on Watt Street?
Speaker 1: Alm, there you go fourteen now. Yeah, when as soon
Speaker 1: as I saw Arnie Pie, I thought guy was going
Speaker 1: to be happy. I love Artie Pye, you do indeed? Yes?
Speaker 1: All right, that's trivia for Homer Alone. Let's get into
Speaker 1: our full in depth review, shall we. Hopefully it's in depth?
Speaker 1: Hopefully so all right. The original air date was February sixth,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. It was written by David M. Stern,
Speaker 1: the brother of who mister Davis.
Speaker 5: Uh, that's a really good question from Home Alone for real?
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I did not know that. Really, this is
Speaker 5: a fun episode. So Daniel Searn's a very good actor.
Speaker 1: I like that guy. Well the Wonder Years voiceover, correct,
Speaker 1: Wonder his voiceover Get Your Shot by Kevin McCallister. That's true, kids,
Speaker 1: He's most known for getting getting fucked up in Home
Speaker 1: Home Alone. Yeah. Probably. Yes.
Speaker 5: People of the eighties might know him from the great
Speaker 5: helicopter action movie Blue Thunder.
Speaker 1: Okay already. The episode was directed by Mark Kirkland. The
Speaker 1: chopboard gag I will not spank others, and the couch
Speaker 1: gag is the family or forms of pyramid with Maggie correct.
Speaker 1: I was like, because we're currently doing sorry for interesting,
Speaker 1: but we're currently on season sixteen of the show. On
Speaker 1: the on the normal four FIK discount going back and
Speaker 1: watching this getting the full Popper intro, and I don't
Speaker 1: think it was the full one, but it was the
Speaker 1: majority of I was like, this is nice, this feels
Speaker 1: like classic Simpsons.
Speaker 5: Now we get the whole inchelada.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is right, Now we go. Question.
Speaker 5: I was searching of this on Disney Plus brought to
Speaker 5: you from our friends at Disney, and they said it.
Speaker 1: Was episode fourteen. Yeah, season three.
Speaker 5: But then I was looking on Wikipedia to find see
Speaker 5: where I can find it, and I said it was
Speaker 5: episode fifteen.
Speaker 1: I saw that as well. I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on now. I was very confused.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we could probably look it up and come up
Speaker 5: with an explanation, but we figured, dear listeners, why deprive
Speaker 5: you of a little fun. You can have your own
Speaker 5: detective work and find out why. Some people say it's fourteen,
Speaker 5: and some people say it's fifteen and when you find out, well,
Speaker 5: let us know, thanks very much.
Speaker 1: He can need to write into Simpsons mail Bag at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com or comment below on the video here
Speaker 1: on YouTube. That's where you are finding this episode, all right.
Speaker 1: The episode kicks off with while he COURTI.
Speaker 5: Roadrunner parody, isn't it indeed road Run a shout out.
Speaker 1: Yes, I didn't write down the names of the note shit,
Speaker 1: I should probably have looked that up.
Speaker 5: That bartist don't have a Cowis and Homer Homo neanderthalis.
Speaker 1: Or something or something like that. Yes, but yeah, just
Speaker 1: to take off of the old Looney Tunes cartoons.
Speaker 5: Running cartoons with yeah, the road Runner constantly eluding Wiley cod.
Speaker 1: And the episode from the very beginning is setting up
Speaker 1: the fact that Marge under appreciate it. So they run
Speaker 1: past with Schnannigan's they smashed the lamp, march like, I'm
Speaker 1: not cleaning that up? Who am I? Kid? So you know,
Speaker 1: showed away Marge not being appreciated. Here, she's doing all
Speaker 1: the all the jobs that no one else is even
Speaker 1: not that even what to do it. But I don't
Speaker 1: even realize that there jobs to be done. That's the
Speaker 1: thing about March. She does all the jobs that everyone
Speaker 1: else doesn't even realize exist.
Speaker 5: And if she didn't do them, you know that people
Speaker 5: would notice.
Speaker 1: Exactly right. It's like when I felt horrible about a
Speaker 1: month ago, go home from work and the sink was
Speaker 1: full of dishes and the floor hadn't been vacuum and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Remember looking at it going I didn't
Speaker 1: say anything. I was like, the house is messy today, Nicholas,
Speaker 1: like I didn't have time to do anything, and I
Speaker 1: was like, shit, Nicol do so much that I just
Speaker 1: did not realize, like I need to pull finger out
Speaker 1: of my asshole and actually do some more work.
Speaker 5: But wash it first and then do and then do
Speaker 5: the kill two birds of one stone.

Speaker 1: a sudden you get the kids that it's been too naughty,
Speaker 1: that teacher loses it, and you're like, oh fuck, we
Speaker 1: must have really been Yeah. But anyway, so it's now
Speaker 1: shopping with Maggie, and I like the little subtle bit
Speaker 1: here where Maggie throws a garry everything. I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is what it's like when you take a kids shopping.
Speaker 1: They can't get their hands on themselves. They're grabbing things,
Speaker 1: they're fucking breaking it. They're asking for to eat an
Speaker 1: apple and then they take one bite and throw the
Speaker 1: apple down the aisle. It's like, geez, that's a free
Speaker 1: apples for the kids. Yeah, it's it's not a good experience.

Speaker 1: but I know what Nick is telling you matter.
Speaker 5: I just love that these guys have clearly got this
Speaker 5: professional relationship. Yeah, and even one of those willing to.

Speaker 1: she'd like freak out and go crazy. She just stops
Speaker 1: the cars. I need a break. Yeah, everyone's back the
Speaker 1: fuck off. Yeah. You know, if she hadn't sort of.
Speaker 5: Gone Tokyo drift, if she hadn't gone sideways and blocked
Speaker 5: traffic on both ways, it probably wouldn't have been quite
Speaker 5: as bad. But no, she had to go completely ninety
Speaker 5: degrees and but then turn the engine off very very
Speaker 5: you know, yeah, politely, and just like I just want
Speaker 5: to sit here, have a little bit calm for a moment,
Speaker 5: which of course.
Speaker 1: Is not going to happen. I do that sometimes, not
Speaker 1: with in the car obviously, but like from the kids
Speaker 1: are just going crazy. And the TV's on, and then
Speaker 1: I even watching the TV, so it's just added noise
Speaker 1: in the background. And then there's Nicholas might be on
Speaker 1: Skype with her parents, and when she's on Scrape she
Speaker 1: talks extra loud. It's just all this noise, and I'm like, everyone,

Speaker 1: Pye he's doing the morning report and drops his bagel.
Speaker 1: Poor Arnie. Do you like a good bagel? I love
Speaker 1: a good bagel. I like a good bagel.
Speaker 5: But as I've said on the show in the past,
Speaker 5: I am not a fan of people trying to turn
Speaker 5: bagels into the bread for sandwiches.
Speaker 1: I had a bagel but a slice in half, and
Speaker 1: it had salmon on it with cream cheese.
Speaker 5: I think it was that is the way you have
Speaker 5: a bagel. Yeah, bagels, Yeah, your cut in half. He
Speaker 5: put a little creamche shmear on it, some smoked salmon,
Speaker 5: a little thinly sliced red onion, red onion.
Speaker 1: I didn't put red onion. If you're feeling a bit adventurous.
Speaker 1: Maybe some keepers and a squeeze of lemon juice delicious.
Speaker 5: Oh oh oh my pretty good.
Speaker 1: Wigham is there and he says, have your flashed the lights? Yep?
Speaker 5: Now this is very early Wigham, Yeah, because he's sounding
Speaker 5: very much like Robinson in this as opposed to Yeah,
Speaker 5: he hasn't got that voice yet.
Speaker 1: He's a bubbling full yet either. No, not quite. He's
Speaker 1: more sort of a lazy cop.
Speaker 5: Although exactly although I mean it's a good face off
Speaker 5: between him and Quimby a little bit later on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seems to stand up to Quimby. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I prefer Quimby as opposed
Speaker 1: to Quimby baby Lucky. No, not Quimby.
Speaker 5: That's of course the turning point, not Quimby Clancy.
Speaker 1: You know, I think there's sharking out. See, but everyone's
Speaker 1: all held up, is going to start some baking. The
Speaker 1: mobster's got the body in the trunk, and then mister teeny.
Speaker 1: I just loved it. No, you got to chuck it
Speaker 1: over and everything. Because Chrsty doesn't have kids. I just
Speaker 1: love that they've sort of replaced kids in his life
Speaker 1: with mister teeny. Then Brockman is going to be lowered
Speaker 1: for an exclusive interview, but they go too far and
Speaker 1: he banged against the side of the bridge. Yep. We're
Speaker 1: now at the plant and Homer sees it. Hey, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: what's the mat and not getting up of the good
Speaker 1: stuff at home, and of course it's oh yeah, oh dope.
Speaker 1: Then Homer arrives, I'm a husband. That explains a lot.
Speaker 1: They notice they lincoln on this a lot longer than
Speaker 1: they normally would, so they're like, that explains a lot,
Speaker 1: and they both chuck it to themselves and then go
Speaker 1: what they're proud of their joke like that, that's just
Speaker 1: lazy cops. They're not actually helping them stand it back
Speaker 1: being snarky. We then talks Homer through talking to March
Speaker 1: duplet your lips ut or anything but Telly, I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hello, hello, listening on Hello?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Is that you should? They say, well, how about yes,
Speaker 1: it's me, Yes, it's me.
Speaker 5: I'm telling your lover I love.
Speaker 3: You very much. And later tonight, I think you and
Speaker 3: I should snuggle.
Speaker 1: There's something about the use of the words snuggle. Now.
Speaker 1: I think the Simpsons are the only ones that use it.
Speaker 1: But it's such a great, cute, nice way of using
Speaker 1: instead of saying sex because you want to the Simpsons
Speaker 1: of the show that has sex in it a lot,
Speaker 1: but they never say the word. They do later on obviously,
Speaker 1: But it's a great way of using sex in a
Speaker 1: kids show by referring to it as snuggling.
Speaker 5: It's great, indeed, and I think a lot of people
Speaker 5: have picked up on that and refer to you. Hear
Speaker 5: the term special cuddles a lot, which I don't think
Speaker 5: I like.
Speaker 1: I think I like it, but I don't like that word.
Speaker 5: But snuggle, I think is yes, far more preferable.
Speaker 1: So Layde is like, what's a special cards like, I'm
Speaker 1: for a cuddle a special kind?
Speaker 5: I think over selling it when you say is special,
Speaker 5: it's more like it's on special.
Speaker 1: Lawis goes for a special cuddle. Don't touch me? So Wigham, Yeah, somebody,
Speaker 1: Marge comes out, talks are out of it and she
Speaker 1: gets the rest of straight away. I love the woman here.
Speaker 1: After record the Gaus and the Force really knew how
Speaker 1: you felt loosening his cuffs. Now, then we get the
Speaker 1: fight as you mentioned earlier between Quimby and Wigham, and
Speaker 1: that Yeah, it's just great seeing Wigham have some sort
Speaker 1: of integrity. Yeah, a little bit of sort of authority
Speaker 1: in his own in his role. Yeah, so he's standing
Speaker 1: up for what he knows is right.
Speaker 5: But she brought the Lawn't doesn't stay that way for
Speaker 5: long though, No, No, but Quimby knows corrupt is always
Speaker 5: and just just politics in general.
Speaker 1: We gotta let her out because I need that woman vote.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what it's all about. And yeah, declares
Speaker 1: March Simpson. Day like seals, check them a fish and
Speaker 1: watch them slap dead. It's not even just letting Marge go.
Speaker 1: It's actual, it's real Opalia.
Speaker 5: Okay, ladies, Yeah, we know how you feel. Special day
Speaker 5: for you, Margin Homer. Then watching it in bed, oh
Speaker 5: as well as it ends well because Margin sees the
Speaker 5: ad for ranch over Laxo, she's like, that's the uneed
Speaker 5: a vacation.
Speaker 1: We've already been a vacation. I love where he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not funny either, March, you have another sandwich.
Speaker 5: It's something that I really enjoyed, actually, because in these
Speaker 5: later episodes that we've been discussing over the last few
Speaker 5: months or so, Yeah, Home has been a real jerk
Speaker 5: and without any sort of sense of self awareness.
Speaker 1: That is, well, I'd love it. No repercussions, she just
Speaker 1: accepts it. Yeah, and no repercussions either. But I love
Speaker 1: here that he recognizes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not day at the beach either, Merge, you
Speaker 5: can ever do the sandwich?
Speaker 1: Good on him? Good on him for sure. She says
Speaker 1: she wants a vacation by a selfie. Thinks that should
Speaker 1: mean it's a divorce. No, no, no, as long as
Speaker 1: he promised to come back, so that's it. The kids
Speaker 1: are then going to be going with Paddy and Selma
Speaker 1: because they've got six months returnity to leave that then
Speaker 1: they're going to use But Maggie grabs onto the house,
Speaker 1: which I had thought of that, Marja, just that Maggie
Speaker 1: stays with Homer. He drops it by accident and picks
Speaker 1: it up on the first bounce ounce. We're now at
Speaker 1: the train station, and it's just great because this is
Speaker 1: exactly what it's like. You know, Marge's been getting ready
Speaker 1: all this time. As as she starts leaving, you're leaving
Speaker 1: a million questions. What do I do? What do I do?
Speaker 1: How do I work the pressure cooker? You don't don't.
Speaker 1: But a great visual gag as.
Speaker 5: Well, not not even a visual gag, just a nice
Speaker 5: bit of texture was as the train pulls away, identical
Speaker 5: deflation on Homer and Maggie's faces.
Speaker 1: Just and the music cue as well. Yeah, really I've
Speaker 1: got that exact same No here, great music, great animation,
Speaker 1: really well done. Marge arrives and we get the discussion
Speaker 1: or the ever the voiceover of the cloud songs, which
Speaker 1: I thought was awesome, instantly relaxing. Homer's then sitting on
Speaker 1: the couch and he's making rattling the cup or the
Speaker 1: bottle or whatever on the crib and he explains to her, No,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just it's just he and her.
Speaker 5: I like the visual of him grabbing the photo so
Speaker 5: it is just them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. But and Lisa the refusial to eat
Speaker 1: lunch with his tongue sandwiches, I was like, who is
Speaker 1: tongue sandwiches?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I don't have tongue sandwiches. I mean, I don't
Speaker 5: think I've ever actually eaten tongue.
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. I guess why is any different
Speaker 1: from eating meat? I guess meat meats meat.
Speaker 5: Depends on I mean it depends on you know, I
Speaker 5: don't think it really it should be that much of
Speaker 5: an issue what part of the body it comes from.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe internal organs. I'm sure they all have their
Speaker 5: own flavor and texture.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he chopped up a tongue and chucked it
Speaker 1: in like a stew or something. I didn't know it
Speaker 1: was Tongue'm sure I would eat it and find it delicious. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember on.
Speaker 5: Louise and I his favorite show, ninety Day Fiance, they
Speaker 5: had some some episode where this dude had moved to
Speaker 5: somewhere in South America to be with his partner.
Speaker 1: That her sisters didn't like him.
Speaker 5: They said, here's a here's a South American dish.
Speaker 1: You're eating penis.
Speaker 5: What horse penis or that was like a cow penis
Speaker 5: or something. And he was like, I mean, he was like,
Speaker 5: it's not great, it's all right. You were eating penis.
Speaker 5: And then he was like, yeah, I'm like, it's just meat, dude.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm pretty sure they would have cleaned out
Speaker 5: the urethra before they cooked exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes, But the Patty and someone explained the sleeping arrangement.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be sleeping in the same bed a little
Speaker 1: Touchier Divorce carts on in fifteen minutes, and then barses,
Speaker 1: I'm scared. You think you're scared, you think you know
Speaker 1: fear I've seen him naked, Margine. Then watching the welcome

Speaker 3: then four eight three will do the rest.
Speaker 1: Oh, Gregory, where have you been on my life? I

Speaker 1: favorite bit is when he's in the kitchen. This tastes
Speaker 1: too good. It can be good for me.
Speaker 5: Actually, there's only fourteen calories in this whole part. The
Speaker 5: slap of the face brilliant.
Speaker 1: I think it does a similar thing when they're doing
Speaker 1: the juice loosener. Yeah, anyway, but just the face slap
Speaker 1: is just amazing. Yeah. Phil Hartman, man, what a man,
Speaker 1: what a lord, he says, And the finest rated movies
Speaker 1: Europe has to Arthur ooh la la la, and look
Speaker 1: at it.
Speaker 5: If you've spent any time back in the pre streaming
Speaker 5: days of hotels, there was a bit of that sort
Speaker 5: of flicking through the movie channels like oh.
Speaker 1: I'll stay here for a little while. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: oh the soft court. Yes, Hammer tries to feed makey here,
Speaker 1: ends up just eating the f u himself. Happens to
Speaker 1: me sometimes on feeding Holy Risotto or whatever. It's usually Elliott.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, motherfucker. If you're gonna eat it, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna eat this. Look good. They're going to take kids
Speaker 1: to a restaurant. Crazy. It's crazy times, but you always
Speaker 1: get left over. It's because they never eat their whole
Speaker 1: night and you just, yeah, you always got a plenty
Speaker 1: of kids meals and you get plenty left over. But
Speaker 1: then tries to change your nappy. You can't do it,
Speaker 1: so he just staples it. Then he tries to puppet show,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is literally what it's like when
Speaker 1: Nicola leaves me home with Holly. I'm like, how the
Speaker 1: fuck are we gonna entertain you for an hour? Can't
Speaker 1: you read a book or something? Yeah, it's just doing
Speaker 1: useless ship puppet shows and that kind of stuff. Marge's
Speaker 1: getting the massage from Gregory and he's enjoying it just
Speaker 1: as much as she is. And Barney then arrives to
Speaker 1: keep home a company. M someone smells sticks me it's me,
Speaker 1: but then finds the bra going through the through the
Speaker 1: cupboard and blackaded gun as well, and Patty and someone
Speaker 1: coming after watching some guy. But they're very satisfied, and
Speaker 1: Richard Anderson's going to be in their dreams tonight and
Speaker 1: they snore really, really loud, Homer, and meanwhile I was
Speaker 1: trying to put Maggie to sleep. Now they drew him
Speaker 1: here looking really disheveled, and apparently they were going for
Speaker 1: the fact that he was. They wanted him to look drunk.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I don't think that would have been
Speaker 1: wise to have home a drunk whilst looking after Maggie.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's Yeah, that's not a good acng.
Speaker 1: I'm glad they didn't go with that because he just
Speaker 1: looks tired, like this is what I look like when
Speaker 1: I'm trying to put the kids asleep, Like you just
Speaker 1: you're broken. I actually told a guy at work the
Speaker 1: other day, my mate Luke. Luke shared to Luke, we're

Speaker 1: She sees the bush. She thinks it's March, but it's not.
Speaker 1: She wanders off down the street. This was the only
Speaker 1: bit of the episode. I thought you really made Homer
Speaker 1: look like a really bad father. Here. Homer walks in,
Speaker 1: ao's time for you nine am feeding it's actually eleven thirty,
Speaker 1: two hours later. That's funny, right, that's funny. But what
Speaker 1: was supposed to believe that he didn't go and check
Speaker 1: up on her until eleven thirty in the morning, because
Speaker 1: he's like, she's not in her bed anymore. I was like,
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. But I'm like, well, so
Speaker 1: you wake up and didn't look for Maggie for four hours,
Speaker 1: but anyway, it's not a huge deal. Anyway, she's gone.
Speaker 1: He thinks she's under Barney, but he was just sleeping
Speaker 1: on a seashell and he's Barnie's like, don't worry about mat,
Speaker 1: I'll just make you an omelet. He's like, no, I
Speaker 1: no know, We're going to go find her. And so
Speaker 1: he pulled proud of his omelets. Yes, I like a
Speaker 1: good omelet, but it's got to be cooked to perfection.
Speaker 1: I'm not huge omelets, but it's if it's cooked, right,
Speaker 1: I do like that. Otherwise it's just eggs. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But he pulls out the water pipe out of the ground.
Speaker 1: He thinks it's Maggie's arm. You pull her off off
Speaker 1: and then he says, you know, the sooner we get
Speaker 1: her out as soon as we can have omelets. Maggie. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: he's just roaming around Springfield looking for March. She approaches
Speaker 1: the handdresser, who now has brighter, Frankenstein Marge esque hair.
Speaker 1: You can't put a bag over her head, Yes you can, Yes,
Speaker 1: you can. Marge calls the Department of Missing Babies. As
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier. It's so good. Marge then decides, you
Speaker 1: know what, fuck this, I'm ordering room service, hot fudge
Speaker 1: Sunday whipped cream and chocolate chip cheese crake and a
Speaker 1: bottle of tequila.
Speaker 5: It's great that she's you know, just feeling yourself, enjoying yourself.
Speaker 5: I mean before that we had the you know, she's
Speaker 5: on her side of the bed, her traditional side of
Speaker 5: the bed, realizes.
Speaker 1: Yes, the stretch out, the stretch out. Yeah, really good.
Speaker 1: But also too, I like this moment because up until
Speaker 1: this point she's been it's almost like she's been doing
Speaker 1: what they've been telling her to do, like you gotta
Speaker 1: do this, do this, do this, do this. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't have to do it. This time is but
Speaker 1: she's following what they wanted to do all the all
Speaker 1: the events. Now she's like, fuck it, I just want
Speaker 1: cake and have a bath, you know.
Speaker 5: And I really like that ice cream Sunday shot at
Speaker 5: Tequila and watch the Therminal Louis in the bath, which
Speaker 5: that shot of her in the bath is so relaxing
Speaker 5: to watch, like, it's so satisfying.
Speaker 1: Really is. When she goes down and he got back
Speaker 1: in her hair's all loose. I'm like, I feel relaxed
Speaker 1: watching this. It's true. Yeah, you're right, it's like, oh
Speaker 1: she looks it's just a Really it couldn't have been
Speaker 1: animated any better. It's so great. And Homer goes to
Speaker 1: visit the kids to see whether they've seen Maggie. They haven't,
Speaker 1: so he leaves them behind. Maggie thinks that the I've
Speaker 1: got either the person dresses the Queen's guard. That's right, yes,
Speaker 1: still in the loop, the loop jobs. He thinks that
Speaker 1: while you wake governor, don't touch me. Homer then calls Marge, Marge,
Speaker 1: would you be sad the darground way? That's terrible. It's
Speaker 1: over all right. The dog hasn't run away, she says
Speaker 1: to himed up, well, thank god, because I'm going to
Speaker 1: be coming home. Pick me up in an hour. Bring
Speaker 1: the kids. He's like, oh shit. Meanwhile, the police have
Speaker 1: found Maggie and she's asleep on top of the ice
Speaker 1: cream part. I thought this was very sweet. She's found
Speaker 1: comfort in this this sign. She's you know, she's she
Speaker 1: knows it's not March, but it's close enough. It's it's
Speaker 1: Marge esk. Yeah. Yeah. So she's like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: sleep up here. The whole storyline of Maggie being out
Speaker 1: loose is ridiculous, but the way they wrap it up
Speaker 1: is fine with me. So Homer is trying to justify
Speaker 1: to herself with different excuses, you know, one minute, they're
Speaker 1: a baby, next to out on their own. William arrives
Speaker 1: at the door with Maggie.
Speaker 4: You're the man who reported the last baby. Can you
Speaker 4: describe her?
Speaker 3: She's small, she's a girl.
Speaker 4: Bangorge, not so fast.
Speaker 5: And winding on three counts, coming on, glad.
Speaker 1: You find my baby.
Speaker 4: You'll take you take you take you guys, don't do
Speaker 4: it again, your big lug.
Speaker 1: It's outrageous, it's ridiculous, it's unrealistic, but it's just perfect.
Speaker 1: It's just it makes you feel a warm inside. You're like, ah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just just don't do it again. How are your rascal?
Speaker 1: But they go to we go to pick up the
Speaker 1: kids as well. First of all, he tapes Maggie to
Speaker 1: the chairs, shapes it down, Never getting away again, Never
Speaker 1: getting away Again. Goes to pick up the kids. They've
Speaker 1: grabbed onto his legs and they arrive at the train
Speaker 1: station where Marge arrives and she sees the look of them.
Speaker 1: She's holding up the photo brings it down and they're
Speaker 1: just broken. They're a mess. Never live again, Never Live Again.
Speaker 1: It's so well active from down there. Never live Again,
Speaker 1: Never Live Again.
Speaker 5: Daniel's having a ball in this episode.
Speaker 1: Oh so good. They're all so thankful that she's back,
Speaker 1: and they're in bed, and Marge's pretty much just laying
Speaker 1: it at the ultimatums. You know, Homer, it was great
Speaker 1: to get away, but you're gonna have to change. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to help me out a lot more. Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna need a little break every once in a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but interrupts. Look, Mum, I think it's I speak
Speaker 1: for everyone here when I say you've got nothing to
Speaker 1: worry about because all the kids are all in bed
Speaker 1: with her. They've clearly missed her. They all love her
Speaker 1: to bits. They're going to do more to help her
Speaker 1: out in future episodes. They don't really, but we would
Speaker 1: hope so. But no, but yeah, as a standlind episode,
Speaker 1: the message was great. So he turns off the light.
Speaker 1: They were going to bed together, and I just thought
Speaker 1: this was just a brilliant episode of The Simpsons. It's
Speaker 1: just this, This is Simpsons and its greatest.
Speaker 5: It really is very fun, very sweet, very well constructed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyone who says that they don't like the Simpsons,
Speaker 1: they think it's well, everyone likes the Simpsons now, but
Speaker 1: back in the day, when my mum would say, you know,
