Speaker 1: Well, that's what's missing.
Speaker 2: Our lives will be horrible without the kids.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, that must be it. This is the best
Speaker 3: of all possible worlds. Blah blah blah. I want to
Speaker 3: live in a sauce.
Speaker 4: Because you can live in the sauce. Don't you think
Speaker 4: I would live in this sauce?
Speaker 5: Four Finger Discount, dude.
Speaker 1: Welcome to fourth a discount, the podcast where we review
Speaker 1: the Simpsons. Every other show we do has a spiel.
Speaker 1: The South Park is the podcast where we always have
Speaker 1: our sales a time sign, the podcast where we discuss
Speaker 1: everything we know about the show about nothing.
Speaker 4: In this one, we'll just take an episode by episode.
Speaker 4: Welcome to fourfing a discount where we're coming to both.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try and make a play on high definition
Speaker 4: that you're like moving then, yeah, I gotta trying to
Speaker 4: get the brain work where we define what this episode
Speaker 4: is about while high high, No we are not.
Speaker 1: He defines why high. I define it highly.
Speaker 4: That very good point that may have made take my
Speaker 4: life please even better? Who knows?
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm dando.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm guy.
Speaker 1: So you don't need to do it, mate, You were fine,
Speaker 1: you were fight until I brought it up.
Speaker 4: You were fine.
Speaker 1: I took issue the other day. It felt like you
Speaker 1: were upset.
Speaker 4: I was, yeah, I like routine. I'm like Garth. I
Speaker 4: fear change, which is why I wasn't mad on on
Speaker 4: the opening credits.
Speaker 1: I remember this one here, so for those of you
Speaker 1: who haven't checked out the episode, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Watch it first before this into the review. But this
Speaker 1: one is the first Simpsons episode to ever have the
Speaker 1: new intro the HD You're not high. Yeah, not full
Speaker 1: HD seven to twenty p so HD intro okay, but
Speaker 1: it felt it felt like the Simpsons were getting a
Speaker 1: new lease on life at the time. It felt specially
Speaker 1: felt important at the time. I remember in this period,
Speaker 1: I was still one of those ones who was just going,
Speaker 1: let's just still watch it. The sims are still good,
Speaker 1: are still good, and none of my friends gave a
Speaker 1: shit anymore for good reason, like knowing No, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to say no one cared about the Simpsons.
Speaker 4: Anymore, but say the bloom was off.
Speaker 1: The rosen it was, and I just wanted anything that
Speaker 1: could possibly make the Simpsons feel somewhat relevant and cooling.
Speaker 1: And I thought this was it because we had the
Speaker 1: Simpsons movie where it was in HD whyscreen and it
Speaker 1: looked great. This is the first time that's on TV.
Speaker 1: Watching this, you can see we mentioned this off the
Speaker 1: air last week. You said to me, it feels like
Speaker 1: they were making an effort from a visual perspective, at
Speaker 1: least anyway. So the crowds in the early days of
Speaker 1: Golden Age of the Simpsons, the Golden Ear, they call
Speaker 1: it the crowd scenes, a lot of them are just
Speaker 1: sort of feel like it's just random scriggles, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: This year felt like everyone in the crowd was somebody,
Speaker 1: or at least was designed correctly. People in the background
Speaker 1: were doing things. There as a lot of more visual gags
Speaker 1: that had more space to fill, and it felt like
Speaker 1: they were trying to fill it effectively. Story Wise, very
Speaker 1: hit and miss this one. I liked the first half.
Speaker 1: I liked the idea of the heel who's always been
Speaker 1: the heel dundlinger right, the mean Prince porfrom when Hammah
Speaker 1: was was younger, actually was doing Homer a favor. He
Speaker 1: didn't want to embarrass him. He didn't first off, he
Speaker 1: didn't want her as a president class president, because that's
Speaker 1: not what he wanted but secondly, he was also saving
Speaker 1: Homer from hiself, so it was looking it was it
Speaker 1: was both good for both things for him, so he
Speaker 1: won advance and he also didn't want to have Hammer embarrassed.
Speaker 1: I thought, that's that's a nice little spin on it.
Speaker 1: But then we get the stirring of Sauce and just
Speaker 1: basically becomes the Tales of Interest from Futurama with the
Speaker 1: what if machine.
Speaker 4: That's right? Yeah, yeah, I mean no, I'm I completely
Speaker 4: agree with that. The first half actually worked pretty well.
Speaker 4: Like you said about Dondling and how he actually easier
Speaker 4: crusty old Dean or easier crusty old Dean. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: love that the Dean from Homer goes to college.
Speaker 1: Joe, what a lord?
Speaker 4: Fantastic, I want to say, steely do.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was. Yeah, anyway, what a Lord.
Speaker 4: But I also liked that, you know, under different circums, Fanaci, Oh,
Speaker 4: this Vance Connor's guy or Vance Connor.
Speaker 1: But don't seen anything of him. Isn't that open? And
Speaker 1: that's sort of it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? But oh he's clearly getting his way, Yeah, just
Speaker 4: by virtual a smile and a shoe shine. He's got
Speaker 4: no substance. He oh, he sucks.
Speaker 1: You know, he's always happy.
Speaker 4: He seems like a solid dude. Or even if you
Speaker 4: know he's in this position just by virtue of charm
Speaker 4: or superficial reasons or whatever, he's still working at it.
Speaker 1: And I guess you kind of and you find it
Speaker 1: hard to root against him because he doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: a bad person. You know, watching this, going should have
Speaker 1: been Homer, you know, our man. It's like, this guy
Speaker 1: seems like a nice guy.
Speaker 4: The er based on everything that Home has been doing
Speaker 4: over the last don't know, a couple of seasons, like yeah,
Speaker 4: team Dance all the way. Yeah, I love Also how
Speaker 4: Home has just been stewing over this Reverend Dance just
Speaker 4: doesn't really give that much of a shit. It's like
Speaker 4: that Mad Men meme, you know, where he's in the
Speaker 4: elevator and the guy goes, oh, I feel sorry for you,
Speaker 4: Don Draper, and Don Dreve's like, I don't think about
Speaker 4: you at all. Oh yeah, this Van's Connor.
Speaker 1: That was such a burn, absolute But I don't think
Speaker 1: about you at all.
Speaker 4: Don Draper talking about what the Lord.
Speaker 1: Yes, now, Bobby Peterson was the dean from Home. He
Speaker 1: goes to college, That's what you've got me Bobbie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can call me Bobby and his band. Let's look
Speaker 1: it up. He is, uh, basically for the Pretenders. He
Speaker 1: used to play for the Pretenders.
Speaker 4: Even cooler who Rode Home Agost Collins was a conan.
Speaker 1: That was conan. Yeah, I don't think you will be
Speaker 1: a bit my bartom that palful.
Speaker 4: Hey, we're talking about other episodes. We should be talking
Speaker 4: about to Take My Life, Please, let's talk about other episodes. No, No,
Speaker 4: this was it takes that second half turn, which.
Speaker 1: Is it's just got really weird. Is you've gone from
Speaker 1: a solid story and then it was just the what
Speaker 1: if machine? What's happening here?
Speaker 4: Yeah? And what if episodes? I think we all might
Speaker 4: be suckers for them on some level.
Speaker 1: I love the future on my ones, love them because
Speaker 1: it's like their version of any I like.
Speaker 4: Any version of a what if episode, But they also
Speaker 4: feel like, we can't be doing a whole lot of
Speaker 4: work this week.
Speaker 1: It's the Treos and it's the trilogy. That's just something different,
Speaker 1: breaking things up, and to do it mid episode just
Speaker 1: sort of caught me off guarded.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, my life could have been like this
Speaker 4: if this had happened. Okay, well, I suppose it gives
Speaker 4: you a little attitude to work, but invariable it's dull
Speaker 4: and invariably going to go back to like, guess what,
Speaker 4: your life's pretty good.
Speaker 1: And at the end it was just this random. These
Speaker 1: things will get to throughout the review, but at the
Speaker 1: end it's basically where the Wall of fame and I
Speaker 1: guess the family paid to have a plank for Homer
Speaker 1: installed in place of Skinner. And then there's a kid
Speaker 1: there saying I want to be like a Homer Simpson.
Speaker 1: You're like, who, why.
Speaker 4: How do you even know what's going on here? Are
Speaker 4: you just kid? Are you just the kind of dummy?
Speaker 4: It's pleased by anyone who's got a photo on LAM.
Speaker 4: There's a whole bunch of other photos. There are actual people.
Speaker 1: My only theory is that margin the kids paid those
Speaker 1: people to make them feel special.
Speaker 4: Wow, okay, well they really go on the street art.
Speaker 3: My favorite.
Speaker 4: Did you you think they actually paid to get Homer's
Speaker 4: thing up on the wall. It looked to me like
Speaker 4: it was like they were pulling like a late night
Speaker 4: scam or something.
Speaker 1: But but how did they get it made? It would
Speaker 1: have cost money to make a plark, I guess. So yeah.
Speaker 4: Anyways, favorite moments I have got you mentioned Don Dalinga.
Speaker 4: I like how you got a bit of his backstory
Speaker 4: about it, especially when he's on the golf course in
Speaker 4: the retirement community, just trying to hang around and tell
Speaker 4: his shitty stories. And no one wants'ting to do with
Speaker 4: this guy.
Speaker 1: It's the weird legs. Weird legs, chicken legs to talk about.
Speaker 1: Go to think about all the girls you could have
Speaker 1: spoken to a real sad life. Apparently again everyone's sad
Speaker 1: and miserable. Yeah, no one's happy.
Speaker 4: The episode's in HD. But yeah, the the episode is
Speaker 4: poor me. I just came up with that one. You
Speaker 4: but you could tell what else? Well? Speaking of that,
Speaker 4: I did like home sort of like grasping for a
Speaker 4: little bit. I hope when he goes to the Evans
Speaker 4: color like, yeah, but beyond that smile, you're dying right,
Speaker 4: that's actually really good life.
Speaker 1: Well, there was another line that was good where he says,
Speaker 1: is there any it loses? Like me knows winners like
Speaker 1: him are miserable. One of those lines I enjoyed, just
Speaker 1: the reveal of the right under this when they're digging
Speaker 1: the hole up. This is the box tells us whether
Speaker 1: the thing actually is right under this. I light it's silly,
Speaker 1: but I liked Homer when he realizes his life could
Speaker 1: have been rich and whatnot with that kids, I would
Speaker 1: live in the sauce. He jumps into the sauce.
Speaker 4: Yeah. One other thing I'd liked is the initial flashback
Speaker 4: to high school days, which I think is being recounted
Speaker 4: by Lenny. Yeah, because I think about the yeah teenage
Speaker 4: Karl and I yes, yeah, that makes sense. So I
Speaker 4: thought that was pretty funny. And those conclude my favorite.
Speaker 1: Moments, and my final one was the we can't even
Speaker 1: convincing that Bruce Wayne's batman? Why is he friends with Alfred?
Speaker 1: Don't open that again. Do you have that a moment
Speaker 1: where you're trying to explain to somebody and you feel
Speaker 1: like they're trolling you. It's like, how can you possibly
Speaker 1: not get this? Oh, and they just refuse to accept
Speaker 1: that you're right, even though they probably know that you are.
Speaker 4: I'm sure that this has happened to me in the past,
Speaker 4: and invariably I'm like, I think just as I've gotten
Speaker 4: old as well. Yeah, let them think it, let.
Speaker 1: Them just let them last too short for the ship.
Speaker 1: I actually a more positive note. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: about this episode in a moment, guy, so strap yourselves in.
Speaker 1: But before that, though, we were mentioning on a recent
Speaker 1: I think it might have been Speaking of the Hill.
Speaker 1: We're talking maybe even going no speaking the mis speak
Speaker 1: of the Hill exclusively on our Patreon channel. We had
Speaker 1: a bit of a mile stone here in the Dana
Speaker 1: household over the weekend. So I set up the projector
Speaker 1: in the living room and we're having a movie night,
Speaker 1: and the kids selected D three, The Mney Ducks number three.
Speaker 1: I love that, love those movies, so like they enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: They've been watching the trilogy. They love the first and
Speaker 1: love the second one. They've never seen the third one.
Speaker 4: Right, it's like Battleship. But the Dano's outside because they're
Speaker 4: like D three and Dana's going T two.
Speaker 1: So at the end of it, Gordon Bombay sort of
Speaker 1: stays the day. At the end, Allie sitting and he goes,
Speaker 1: I knew Bombay would do it. I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: seen it all No, No, it's not cite he was.
Speaker 4: It was like it was like, oh, I knew he
Speaker 4: would do it, you know, he's got he's got belief
Speaker 4: in the meeting.
Speaker 1: He's like, I knew Bombay would do it.
Speaker 4: Amelia are still well, I mean, he's never not going
Speaker 4: to be Bombay, but he was still Bombay in D three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he either had other things going on at
Speaker 1: the time he was at the start, and a lot
Speaker 1: of the times things would happen, they go Bombay has
Speaker 1: done it again. He's organized for someone to arrive Bombay.
Speaker 1: He's like he's in the movie, but he's actually he's
Speaker 1: in it, but he's like the book ends on.
Speaker 4: It, you know.
Speaker 1: But we're sitting there and then it's on Disney Plus
Speaker 1: and pops up Skeleton Crew, a skeleton group pops out.
Speaker 1: What's that? I said, it's the new Star Wars show.
Speaker 1: I says, actually for kids, Nicholas, he can't watch that.
Speaker 1: I said, no, it's for kids. I'm pretty sure it's okay.
Speaker 1: So we put it on. He's mesmerized by it, and
Speaker 1: I said, you know, actually, before we do this, let's
Speaker 1: just watch the first Star Wars. I try to put
Speaker 1: the First Star Wars on for him about a year ago,
Speaker 1: and it's very slow. He was kind of bored, you know.
Speaker 4: So it was made in nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he just didn't quite get the lots of talking.
Speaker 1: It was going straight over his head. But there's a
Speaker 1: year older now and a lot changes between five and six,
Speaker 1: so I thought we'll try it again. Nicholas says, I'm
Speaker 1: going to bed shows. I'm gonna gave you boys to it.
Speaker 1: And I only planned on watching the opening bit, and
Speaker 1: then I could see that he was just into it,
Speaker 1: and he's asking questions and I'm explaining, sort of filling
Speaker 1: in the gaps so you can sort of understand what's
Speaker 1: going on. Its princessly she's putting the plans into him,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna he's getting it. And we get to
Speaker 1: the end of the movie. So they're in the trenches.
Speaker 1: They're called the trench. What's it called the trenches? Yea
Speaker 1: of the Death Star and Vada shot away all the
Speaker 1: other guys and it's down to Luke and Vader's behind him.
Speaker 1: He is about to shoot him, and then Hahn comes
Speaker 1: and says the day and now he goes I knew
Speaker 1: he'd come back. He screams it. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: holy shit, and then he shoots the shoots it in
Speaker 1: he goes in, Elliot jumps out of his chair and
Speaker 1: he goes, yes, I know where you go do it? Yes,
Speaker 1: and he gives him a standing ovation. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm never even more proud than my son, who was
Speaker 1: just like getting I have not seen someone react to
Speaker 1: Star Wars like that in a long time. And it's like,
Speaker 1: you know what, those original fucking movies are unbelievable, right, unimpeachable.
Speaker 1: Say what you will. And about Star Wars, what Disney
Speaker 1: you've done with it? That that first movie when those
Speaker 1: missiles going to the death start, Elliott, he six years old,
Speaker 1: jumped out of his chair and gave him a standing ovation.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, look, there's a reason I went to see
Speaker 4: it seven times at the cinema when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I was and he goes, can we watch number two now?
Speaker 1: And I was like, we will, mate. So now every
Speaker 1: Friday night we're going to watch. I know that the
Speaker 1: next one's gonna be Empire Strikes Back, a much darker version.
Speaker 1: But the thing is he doesn't know about Vada yet.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to film his reaction to because
Speaker 1: he hates Darth Vader because he killed Luke Dad. I
Speaker 1: can't wait, I can't wait. Never I've never watched Star
Speaker 1: Wars with somebody who didn't already know that that's good.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, I'm glad that he's got his heroes,
Speaker 4: he's got hand soul, and he's got good and Bombay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, Luke is his hero.
Speaker 4: He's got some good role models.
Speaker 1: You're just like, I knew he'd come back to save it.
Speaker 1: So it was just a very proud moment for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be. That's a lovely moment.
Speaker 1: Do you have films though, that you like to have
Speaker 1: good twists or good moments that you want to show
Speaker 1: to somebody and you know they I don't know about it.
Speaker 1: You're like, you just want to see the reaction to it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly, what's a that has a twist?
Speaker 1: That was sixth cents would have been one in the nineties, right, Yeah, Look,
Speaker 1: it's it's.
Speaker 4: The opposite of fun. But watching seven with someone, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: and they don't know what happens at the end, Oh
Speaker 4: oh that's in the box, and then yeah, what happens happens?
Speaker 4: Like I don't feel good, but wow, that really did
Speaker 4: a number on in a good way.
Speaker 1: That's one of those Mandela effect films too, where you
Speaker 1: think you see the head in the box, but you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't see the head in the box. Everyone thinks there,
Speaker 1: do not see the head in the box?
Speaker 4: I got to google this.
Speaker 1: You don't.
Speaker 4: There's not even like a little no.
Speaker 1: It is a vision of her smiling, of him remembering
Speaker 1: her smile. But you you think it's.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I knew there was a shot of gwynethout.
Speaker 1: And she's just smiling. Of his memory, but your memory
Speaker 1: says it's the head in the box. And it's like,
Speaker 1: you never see the head in the box. But pit
Speaker 1: in that moment, though, what's in the box, You're like, oh, anyway,

Speaker 1: we can get into our review of take my Life Please,
Speaker 1: don't take my wife sleaes, take my life please.
Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, you know the origins, of course, you know
Speaker 4: the origins of take my wife please, get her out
Speaker 4: of Here's comedians, right, one one comedian particular, which one
Speaker 4: guy named Henny Youngman. Okay, very sort of it, but
Speaker 4: very Rodney danger for your kind of thing, right, it
Speaker 4: is kind of it. But yeah, initially sort of came
Speaker 4: up this line, take my wife please. It became such
Speaker 4: a thing that could just say take my wife please,
Speaker 4: and everyone was.
Speaker 1: Like, that's the job, he said, the thing he didn't.
Speaker 4: Even say it in like a funny way anymore, just
Speaker 4: said take my wife place.
Speaker 1: I'm scared of you motherfuckers. You don't understand, he said.
Speaker 1: Kick it. Our review of Traffic Jam on our Patreon
Speaker 1: on Speaking of the Hill.
Speaker 4: Yes, and all will be revealed rather than not just
Speaker 4: saying shit, kick it, kick it, you don't understand. We've
Speaker 4: already sort of talked about the opening credits and how
Speaker 4: they are in Hi definition Hi definition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's the first time since season two they've
Speaker 1: actually updated the intro. We've had variants, variants, you like
Speaker 1: your variants. I love a good Varian. Yeah, but this
Speaker 1: is the first time they've just changed the intro completely
Speaker 1: because season one the schools purple and the art goes
Speaker 1: past just random people where they update it to what
Speaker 1: we had for twenty years essentially almost. But now it
Speaker 1: is HD and I liked it at first. One thing
Speaker 1: I will say is I didn't like the TV falling
Speaker 1: off because what they would do right for a while,
Speaker 1: you didn't know which episode of the TV was going
Speaker 1: to fall off. Sometimes sometimes I wouldn't. I would get anxiety,
Speaker 1: He's going to fall off? Oh I didn't fall off.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a problems, but the chopboard gag is
Speaker 1: HDTV is worth every and the couch gag was padding.
Speaker 4: Really, my notes on this very prolonged because this went
Speaker 4: on for a while. I didn't I didn't set my
Speaker 4: time there, but it felt like I went for maybe
Speaker 4: like two two and a half minutes.
Speaker 1: I think we were about two minutes into the episode
Speaker 1: before it actually started.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it just felt like it went for a
Speaker 4: very long time. But it's basically what them chasing the
Speaker 4: couch all over the world and even into outer space.
Speaker 1: I could have sworn we already had this couch ever before,
Speaker 1: but it looked like it was drawn in HDC. Maybe
Speaker 1: they updated.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe there's the ones where they sort of pulled
Speaker 4: out from Springfield, America, the Earth, the Solar system, et cetera,
Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. It's different to that. But yeah,
Speaker 4: this did have the sort of a sense of the
Speaker 4: familiar about it.
Speaker 1: Every ear of the Simpsons to me, has their version
Speaker 1: of the extended couch gag where you can just tell, Okay,
Speaker 1: this episode was running short. They've patted it out with
Speaker 1: the Golden Era. It was the Circus one and it
Speaker 1: went for a long time teen era fell out, the
Speaker 1: one where it would pan out and end it with homergoing,
Speaker 1: whoa that was there? Now this is probably gonna be
Speaker 1: the extended one. Okay, the catch, because I swear it's
Speaker 1: been used numerous times. We'll find out.
Speaker 4: We're gonna do more. We're not stopping here, folks, We're
Speaker 4: going to.
Speaker 1: Keep the stuff for discount. So the episode kicks off
Speaker 1: with them announcing the pluck for Vance Connor. The legendary
Speaker 1: twenty percent tip is now in the Springfield Wall of Fame,
Speaker 1: a wall of fan that we've never seen before and
Speaker 1: we'll probably never see again. That's correct. But yeah, someone
Speaker 1: from the crowd, chance, you're better than us? And is
Speaker 1: that what it is about celebrities? It doesn't feel that
Speaker 1: way anymore, but when I was growing up, it always
Speaker 1: felt like celebrities were better than me. Now, I think
Speaker 1: because of social media and we see them in their
Speaker 1: day to day lives, No, they're the same as us.
Speaker 4: Well for a while, I mean, it was actually like
Speaker 4: a headline in I don't know, I it was People
Speaker 4: magazine in the US or maybe US Weekly or something
Speaker 4: like that, but they had a they would a headline
Speaker 4: that sort of became a bit of a punchliner stars.
Speaker 4: They're uzz like us, and it'd be like paparazzi shots
Speaker 4: of like you know, it'd be like fle going out
Speaker 4: Eddie Machers, Yeah, going out to get Duncan.
Speaker 1: He wears tracks of pants outside too. All.
Speaker 4: It's like this Scarleton hands and she's not wearing any makeup.
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to Pamela Anderson who is
Speaker 1: now just going make up free. People are giving her shit,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, good on her.
Speaker 4: She looks fine, she just great, good on her, good enough.
Speaker 4: I've not seen this movie that she's in. Apparently she's
Speaker 4: not bad at it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I did not expect her to be the post
Speaker 1: of child for makeup free? How would you describe it?
Speaker 1: The movement?
Speaker 4: But it's not really a movement, I think. I don't
Speaker 4: know if that many people are sort of taking the
Speaker 4: baton and running with it. But she certainly, and it's
Speaker 4: become her thing, and ye had more power to her.
Speaker 1: I think for an entire generation like myself growing up,
Speaker 1: she was the poster girl. You know, she was the
Speaker 1: idea of what beauty was, whether you believe it or not,
Speaker 1: that's what she was the sex symbol. Right for her
Speaker 1: to come out and do this, you're like, oh shit.
Speaker 4: But also in a very shall we say, manufactured way,
Speaker 4: she always looked incredibly made up her dune. Yeah, everything
Speaker 4: was sort of perfectly put together. Yeah, and now she's
Speaker 4: just like, well, I'm not wearing makeup anymore. It's like,
Speaker 4: good for you. You look great. But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4: I mean the thing, yeah, I think of it is
Speaker 4: with celebrities now it's very much oh, we're approachable. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we're just like and I think there might be almost
Speaker 4: be started a bit of a backlash of that as well.
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, I want I think I prefer
Speaker 4: my stars with some mystique.
Speaker 1: So home's annoyed here though about Vance Connor, he thinks
Speaker 1: he's just jealous basically because he thought he should have
Speaker 1: been class president. But Vance was verted in and all
Speaker 1: the family. But it's basically saying to him, like, that's
Speaker 1: you're just jealous, mate, Like I said, reason this GLI's
Speaker 1: clearly a good guy.
Speaker 4: And also it's a pipe dream on Homers but which
Speaker 4: as we discover a bit later as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, back in high school, right before I met your mother,
Speaker 3: a simpler time when the only thing we worried about
Speaker 3: was total nuclear annihilation.
Speaker 1: And we have the Dvance's pitch, where basically he's slogan
Speaker 1: is you're all advanced with Vance and Homo speech.
Speaker 4: Which is a very good slogan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Homer tries to do his speech and
Speaker 1: he decides going to improv and he realizes quickly, oh shit,
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I watch his going. I can
Speaker 1: feel that made. Sometimes you like to feel like I've
Speaker 1: got control of this, and you're, oh, I don't. Where's
Speaker 1: my notes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, trying to public speak off the off the cuff.
Speaker 4: It can I remember doing that AT's like a twenty
Speaker 4: first speech once and I think I'd had a few
Speaker 4: drinks and thought I was confident of that. Oh there's
Speaker 4: going to go.
Speaker 1: I've got this.
Speaker 4: I just blew it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And when you realize you're blowing it, mid blow.
Speaker 4: It's I talk about this a lot, but it's one
Speaker 4: of my favorite bits from Friends, where it's Ross is
Speaker 4: getting married, Oh yes, and yeah, Chandlers giving his speech
Speaker 4: to these British people and he's sort of throwing in
Speaker 4: don't get any humor, Yeah, don't get his humor at all,
Speaker 4: and make some reference like Monty Hall or something when
Speaker 4: talking about Albert Hall, and no one lives like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, Perry the greatest anyway, I say this far
Speaker 4: too off. In Advanced with Advance, Yeah, but Homer is sucking.
Speaker 1: Up as always fucking up everything. But essentially Dunderlinger says
Speaker 1: that you're getting ten US attention for fucking this all up.
Speaker 1: Everyone who votes for Advance gets a half day tomorrow
Speaker 1: or something like that. So it's just not going well
Speaker 1: for Homer and he and he doesn't get voted in.
Speaker 1: It's Advancer gets in. Homer says in real time, tries
Speaker 1: to tell the family, this guy's miserable or guarantee, you know,
Speaker 1: looks pretty happy to be tears of a clown and
Speaker 1: loses like me. The cloud's greater than it. Losers like me,
Speaker 1: no that winners like him always miserable. And then he
Speaker 1: goes to talk to him, and Vance is just a
Speaker 1: really happy guy.
Speaker 4: Everything's going on Vance's way has been for quite some time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything's coming up Vance. So now at MOS which
Speaker 1: now says now in high definition or high death at
Speaker 1: the front with the banner and there and basically Linnary
Speaker 1: and Carly ask why so bothered. Homony brings up how
Speaker 1: he lost the lost the election, and they have a
Speaker 1: bit of a funny look and they have a flashback.
Speaker 1: Yet they first of all, they say, what was all
Speaker 1: the fans? He gave me a kidding, He gave me
Speaker 1: one too, And then they have the flashback here, and
Speaker 1: essentially what happens here is that dundling of really he
Speaker 1: overhears two jocks say it wouldn't be funny if we
Speaker 1: all voted for Homer and then we can all laugh
Speaker 1: at him. Dundlinger realizes, oh shit, that's a bad case
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna have Homer as the class president, and
Speaker 1: b is going to be bad for Homer. So there's
Speaker 1: good and he's doing the right thing, but also but yeah,
Speaker 1: he's doing it for the right reasons as well. So
Speaker 1: he gets the box with the ballot papers and he
Speaker 1: says to Lenny and Carl, look, you need to get
Speaker 1: rid of this for me, and they say, we'll make
Speaker 1: a deal with you. We don't want to go to college.
Speaker 1: We want to stay here and party for us of
Speaker 1: our lives. So you give us all c's so we
Speaker 1: can't get out of here, and we'll do it. So Yep,
Speaker 1: they agree. I think he says, if you get it wrong,
Speaker 1: you're going to be at some university.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like Bard or somewhere.
Speaker 1: Which one he says is had a trivia question. It
Speaker 1: was Carnegie Mellon University.
Speaker 4: Oh okay.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, they're like, oh shit, I don't want to
Speaker 1: go there. So essentially that's what happened is they've buried
Speaker 1: the ballot papers and they read the election.
Speaker 4: The Joe being the Carnegie Mellon is actually not a
Speaker 4: bad school, yes.
Speaker 1: Because that's what they don't want to go to a
Speaker 1: good school.
Speaker 4: That's good.
Speaker 1: So then they met the deal and we come back
Speaker 1: to the real time and we get al Gore here
Speaker 1: was actually voiced by al Gore. I don't think. I
Speaker 1: don't see his name, and that it sounds like Harry
Speaker 1: Sheier doing an al Gore. The big fans of al
Speaker 1: Gore at the Simpsons, Oh yeah, take me back. So
Speaker 1: what's that about? So al Gore obviously was going against Bush. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people say it was.
Speaker 4: I think the general consensus that he was fucked out
Speaker 4: of the pregnancy.
Speaker 1: Pregnancy, let's try out again, fucked right out of that pregnancy.
Speaker 1: He was, he was.
Speaker 4: Screwed out of the presidency by various nefarious means of
Speaker 4: vote counting and yeah, jiggery pokery.
Speaker 1: All that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: And you know, it would have been great if Al Gore
Speaker 4: was the president. You know, he was a progressive kind
Speaker 4: of guy and all this kind of business and.
Speaker 1: The personality of like a rock though a little.
Speaker 4: Bit yeah, he might have been just a bit too
Speaker 4: sort of shall we say subtle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one thing you need with your president's showmanship,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 4: And well, yeah you do, as sadly as we've discovered. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he might have just, yeah, just been too good a
Speaker 4: politician and not enough of a showman. Although having said that,
Speaker 4: I mean he keeps showing up on The Simpsons and
Speaker 4: on thirty Rock and all these other shows, and you know,
Speaker 4: making his what do you call them environmental documentaries and
Speaker 4: things like that, became a really good spokesman what was
Speaker 4: his documentary called Inconvenient True One?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and just being a.
Speaker 4: Really good spokesperson and statesman for various causes. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I think the general contents is like, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: wasn't didn't we.
Speaker 3: All vote brow Gore?
Speaker 1: How do's happened? Anyway? Moving on, but there's Homer. He
Speaker 1: can't sleep. He has to know the truth. So he
Speaker 1: goes to Lenny and Lenny thinks he's dropping off his shovel,
Speaker 1: but no, he wants to return to the shovel. He's
Speaker 1: just bring the show with their blocks to Lenny because
Speaker 1: he wants to dig up the ballot papers. So where
Speaker 1: are they? And what was the name of the place
Speaker 1: he lives at? By the way you can the arms? Okay,
Speaker 1: but we get the same joke here that they made
Speaker 1: last week I believe where someone asks what should I
Speaker 1: wear when we go out? I think it was last week.
Speaker 1: Marge says, yes, we're going to find Lisa and Juliet,
Speaker 1: they'd gone missing at home, and he goes, oh should
Speaker 1: I wear business? And the same here it goes California
Speaker 1: casual or business. I'm like, you've just used that joke
Speaker 1: in the last episode. Don Payne right of this episode
Speaker 1: one pay pay attention, Yes, Painey, but honorary Australian. They
Speaker 1: dig up the box. The first box is the box
Speaker 1: that contains a let it tell you where to find
Speaker 1: it and it says right under this, So you thick
Speaker 1: it up and then ready to throw all the results.
Speaker 2: Dance Connor Hammer Sampson, Who dance Connor Hammer Sampson, Who
Speaker 2: dance Connor Hammer Sampson, whoa please stop doing that?
Speaker 4: Or both?
Speaker 2: Homer Sampson dance Connorvonsie Homer Sampson and the winner is
Speaker 2: Homer Simpson.
Speaker 3: Jud I'm senior class president.
Speaker 4: I get a parking spot if the assistant principal.
Speaker 1: Isn't using it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wait a second. If I'd been class president like I
Speaker 3: was supposed to, I'd be the one with a big
Speaker 3: mansion and the color TVs and the hot wife. Oh, Marche,
Speaker 3: I still would be married to you, but you would
Speaker 3: just be hotter.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Just because you want a high school election doesn't mean
Speaker 2: your whole life would have been better.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what it means. And John the Linger took
Speaker 3: that life away from me. And the taking of a
Speaker 3: life is murder, and the punishment for murderer is well,
Speaker 3: it varies from state to stateon by race. But I'm
Speaker 3: going to find Doundalinga and tell him I know what
Speaker 3: he did last summer twenty two years ago in the winter.
Speaker 1: Come back and wrote the golf Course. And Donaldling is
Speaker 1: there feeling like a big fish in a small pond.
Speaker 1: I guess here just sort of mocking the vice principals
Speaker 1: because he the assistant principles and he was the he
Speaker 1: was the principal. I don't get the weird leg like
Speaker 1: the gross legs gag come out. I think I seen
Speaker 1: your legs his legs before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just wanted to take more shots at
Speaker 4: the guy. He seems like a really sad person very much. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's kind of depressing. But Hammer arives in the cart
Speaker 4: and he wants answers and he says, I need to
Speaker 4: teach my son to lessen their life. Doesn't turn out
Speaker 4: the way you want, you need to blame it on
Speaker 4: somebody else. But then he sends bart Away for something
Speaker 4: kind of He says, because bart was order get drinks. Yeah,
Speaker 4: go give me au.
Speaker 1: He was order a virgin mayor, he'sa virgin. What are
Speaker 1: you a girl? But he sends bart Away and we
Speaker 1: have the flashback here, and this is where Donaldlue explains
Speaker 1: why he did what he did, why he'd read the election. Now,
Speaker 1: did you see Homer's poster?
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 1: Indeed, I was like I would vote for this guy
Speaker 1: was at Star Wars and Rocky aggress that Jaws and
Speaker 1: Star Wars agree, was it? It was rocky Jaws and
Speaker 1: Star Wars.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, that's good news. Played into something I
Speaker 4: was going to talk about later. But anyway, that's good
Speaker 4: Jaws and Star Wars sos that came out after it.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, because remember we've been just king at
Speaker 1: the hill, like Hank Hill has a joyous post. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this was apparently before pre Joyce. This is dalente'
Speaker 1: da ninety seventy five and a film a bit in
Speaker 1: uh the summer of nineteen. Are you doing a terrible
Speaker 1: impersonation to me? That? No? Cool book guy? Okay, just
Speaker 1: just just internet's nerdy because we were talking about so
Speaker 1: Hank has a Jaws poster on his wall, correct on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day when film didn't come out for three months.
Speaker 1: Explain it. I'm angry, make it, make it big sense,
Speaker 1: make it makes sense. But Dunderley explains though that he
Speaker 1: ever heard the guys. This is where he earlier on
Speaker 1: he didn't hear the guys. This is where he explained that
Speaker 1: he had heard it, and home's angry, but also thankfully like,
Speaker 1: I'm annoyed, but I can see why he did it,
Speaker 1: and then Dondel goes to have a moment with himself
Speaker 1: to think about all the.
Speaker 4: Girls that they could have talked to but it never did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just really weird and sad. Then Homer's
Speaker 1: sad at Ouigi's eating his dinner really slowly as opposed
Speaker 1: to fast, and Luigi ever hear and says, I don't worry,
Speaker 1: I've got a chef in the kitchen. Hoove he stores
Speaker 1: stirs the sauce just right. You can take you back
Speaker 1: and show you whatever. And I was like, ah, what
Speaker 1: is going on here? It was just so weird.
Speaker 4: It just showed me as a really dumb crutch. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just a dumb concept though. The stirring of the sauce, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, and it doubled down on it so much.
Speaker 4: Why did you do a thing where you put like,
Speaker 4: you know, I add the special mushrooms to the sauce
Speaker 4: and it's like magic mushrooms when you ate the chili.
Speaker 1: Yes, he has a vision, you know, that's right, this guy.
Speaker 1: I stir the sauce and you can see.
Speaker 4: This and yeah, this is the point note where I
Speaker 4: stopped taking notes. But I'm gonna have to rely and
Speaker 4: we could beat you a bit more so to what happened,
Speaker 4: because it's like a bunch of stuff happened.
Speaker 1: But I know they have Lisa acknowledge. You know, someone
Speaker 1: is highly skeptical. I don't buy into this at all.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, and as do all of us.
Speaker 4: Does we don't like agree with you, Lisa.
Speaker 1: Yes, so Homer explained, explained here Homer has the vision
Speaker 1: obviously because he's stirring the sauce, and he says he
Speaker 1: have been a success, and yeah, we're all worked out
Speaker 1: well for home.
Speaker 4: Essentially, I'm never part of me likes storylines like this,
Speaker 4: whether in movies or TV shows of that. But whenever
Speaker 4: you see some of this, do you think, Oh, do
Speaker 4: you ever sort of cast your mind back? Oh? I
Speaker 4: wonder if if this had happened, what my life would
Speaker 4: be like now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everyone I was done, except when I
Speaker 1: do it, then I'm like, I think I'm happy.
Speaker 4: I don't want to sound like I'm bragging anything like that,
Speaker 4: but it's like, I think I've had some I think
Speaker 4: I've had a pretty good life.
Speaker 1: Yeah I was. I was like, oh, whatever, Nikola, Look well,
Speaker 1: I said to Nicola the other I do you think
Speaker 1: you'd still be in Ausralia. I think would go to English.
Speaker 1: She goes, but didn't me and you, I probably would
Speaker 1: have gone back to England, met some dude in my town,
Speaker 1: go to boring county job and just stayed there. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like things happen for a reason.
Speaker 4: Absolutely that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if I mean Nichol, I wouldn't have Alliott,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have Holly. Correct, probably I'll be still probably
Speaker 1: living at home we Leslie.
Speaker 4: At the same time, if I had moved away from Geelong,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have met Louise.
Speaker 1: Yeah. All things just kick getting better.
Speaker 4: By the way, tuned into going down to South Park.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where we went gay this way, didn't we got
Speaker 1: very gay? South fuk is gay exclamation mark exclamation mark. Yes, indeed.
Speaker 1: But we've already had this story before as well. It's
Speaker 1: just dawned to me as we're talking about Homer's if
Speaker 1: you never married Marge, what his life would be like
Speaker 1: the MINDI episode. Sure, Ah, he's rich with Mindy. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: we've already done this exact story.
Speaker 4: But let's draw it out a little bit more, yeah,
Speaker 4: or put a little swerve on it.
Speaker 1: And Marge is the she's mad in president.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so he's having the vision here and he's he sees, well,
Speaker 1: you think it's going to be Marge because there's only
Speaker 1: one woman he's thinking about. But no, it's Debbie Pinson.
Speaker 1: Her name he's brought up several times in the past,
Speaker 1: but this is one of the first one I've actually seen.
Speaker 1: Debbie Pinson's right, Yeah, yeah, Debbie Pinsonah to the prom.
Speaker 1: She's going to be going with the quarterback. Well she
Speaker 1: don't think he's engaged to the quarterback, she says, anyway,
Speaker 1: but she's going to go with Homer and Marge. She
Speaker 1: wanted to ask, but she's realized now a girl like
Speaker 1: me can never land a Homer Simpson. Yeah, yeah, this is.
Speaker 4: I don't like the way this was constructed.
Speaker 1: And I know you can't be a stick off the continuity, right,
Speaker 1: but we've already had a flashback episode where it's established
Speaker 1: that Marge is a go getter, she's running in debate
Speaker 1: team that kind of thing, and Homer's just a schmuck.
Speaker 1: I guess oh, I guess it is Tolano. He's now president,
Speaker 1: so it's changed. Yeah, I guess it's Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: it makes sense that timeline is now different because Home
Speaker 1: is now the class president.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, I know this has this particular scenario,
Speaker 4: has to run along these particular lines, but yeah, having
Speaker 4: Marge go oh, I'll never get a homosy, for them
Speaker 4: to not have any interactional and then for him to
Speaker 4: suddenly throw Debbie one side and go, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: you're the Girlfrien's like, wait, why.
Speaker 1: How's there only two minutes left in the Episode's I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. It's like they get to twenty minute, I
Speaker 1: can get oh shit, oh wait a minute under rabbit up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: quick status quote. So Lisa says, oh, that's why you
Speaker 1: know you'd be miserable because you would never have married
Speaker 1: your one true love in Marge no Dory. So then
Speaker 1: they keep having the vision about the prime and he
Speaker 1: notices Marge and pushes Debbie to the side straight away,
Speaker 1: and she was gonna le him get to fifth base,
Speaker 1: wasn't she.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But before that though, he says, can you do my
Speaker 1: homework for me? I thought, call me crazy, but I
Speaker 1: feel like Debbie Pinser came across like she was meant
Speaker 1: to be the bimbo airhead, right. So him saying can
Speaker 1: you go do my homework for me? And she's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll do that, And I'm thinking, wait, so was Debbie
Speaker 1: Pinson nor an academic? What's going on?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think she was just she had hitherto unforeseen
Speaker 4: depth and skill. Yeah, because doesn't she say? It's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: no one's ever admired me from my brains before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Yeah. But then he he confesses he
Speaker 1: Kepess's love to Marge. But he says, you know, I
Speaker 1: think you're a bit alright. She gets shitty. She says,
Speaker 1: you would have let him get the fifth base. I
Speaker 1: love this something you could have told your grandchildren about.
Speaker 3: Homie Simpson class president.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're talking to me.
Speaker 3: I learned great things have happened to me legally, but
Speaker 3: doing nothing compared to meeting you have this dance wish forever.
Speaker 1: Homer Simpson. I was gonna let you get to fifth base.
Speaker 4: It would have been something you told your grandchildren about.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Gabby, I hope you can find happiness without me.
Speaker 1: Nos a cheerleader on the rebound?
Speaker 3: How you really?
Speaker 1: So they're arriving home and Patty and Summer think that
Speaker 1: Homer is quite attractive, right, I was bothered by this line.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have been, but just shits me. Right, So
Speaker 1: Patty says, here in this reality, I'm not gay? Right.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, how many times have we had
Speaker 1: Simpson's episodes for the Golden Ear? She wasn't gay, She
Speaker 1: wasn't she didn't come out as gay, she found men attractive,
Speaker 1: So why was she didn't go? Yeah, in this timeline,
Speaker 1: I'm not gay.
Speaker 4: I know, I know. I wish I could explain it
Speaker 4: makes sense. I wish I could make it make sense,
Speaker 4: but I can't.
Speaker 1: Two minutes ago, then Burns are just randomly driving past,
Speaker 1: and you want to offer this guy why why is
Speaker 1: Ben's driving bus another not looking for scap people?
Speaker 4: This is an alternate rias, it's not. It's not Homer's
Speaker 4: fantasy as well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: So Homes offered the job at six F because he
Speaker 1: says to Smith's suggests seven G and he says no,
Speaker 1: it's for the lenity in the cars in the world,
Speaker 1: because he apparently knows his linearing Carl is at this point.
Speaker 1: So Homer's now really successful. I did like the reveal here,
Speaker 1: so you think he's just getting home to a normal,
Speaker 1: normal house. No, that's he's that's great grand Buzz. It's
Speaker 1: a graanny flat, Grainny flat essentially, which is their their house.
Speaker 1: He lives in this giant manchion whars, which is where
Speaker 1: Flannder's house would have been. They acknowledge that, but Flanner's
Speaker 1: obviously doesn't exist as universe correct to the house because
Speaker 1: his house is the mansion. He's got no kids because
Speaker 1: you know, you were protection. We didn't have any kids.
Speaker 1: So they say, that's what's missing from your life. You're
Speaker 1: not going to be having any kids. Hope wants to
Speaker 1: living the source. Homer is asleep in his kiddy pool. Now,
Speaker 1: he's just he's depressed, he's sad. It's when we get
Speaker 1: out of the pool. He's got algae growing on his
Speaker 1: arms and whatnot. They tell him to come inside. I
Speaker 1: like that the pool has just now moved to inside.
Speaker 1: And they explain they're trying to convinced me, he says.
Speaker 1: He says to them, this is where you try to
Speaker 1: convince me that my life is okay and it's all
Speaker 1: worked out well, blah blah blah. And I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: you've got a pretty fucking good Oh yeah, what are
Speaker 1: you complaining about you could have been I get that, but.
Speaker 4: Dude, you're punching above your weight, you know.
Speaker 1: I guess in that reality though, he also was punched
Speaker 1: above his weight and he was rich, so I can
Speaker 1: I guess I too want to live in the source.
Speaker 1: But they have discussion about Batman and whatnot, and then
Speaker 1: they take him to show the Wall of Fame and
Speaker 1: he's up, what do you think he's line here about Nixon?
Speaker 3: Why would you bring me here? It's like bringing Richard
Speaker 3: Nixon to the water Gate Kevin Kostner to water World.
Speaker 4: Not unfunny.
Speaker 1: And he's got his own park now. I guess they
Speaker 1: paid to have put there and replaced skinners. The little
Speaker 1: boy wants a photo with Homer. It's just really bizarre.
Speaker 4: Yeah, is this kid just so starved for role models
Speaker 4: or anything like that?
Speaker 1: The guy's you know as well, he's like, you know,
Speaker 1: one day, we can't all be Homer Simpsons. And I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, you're a cinema you well, who is
Speaker 1: this guy? You're a cynical person, you're of a mind?
Speaker 1: Yeah that marginally, And the kids paid off this dude
Speaker 1: and his kid to pump up home his tires a
Speaker 1: bit it's not outside the realms of possibility. It's the
Speaker 1: only logical explanation as to why this's gonna be happening.
Speaker 1: You're looking for logic in this, that's that's your first mistake.
Speaker 1: But logically they do go to get some crean barbecue.
Speaker 1: That does make sense.
Speaker 4: That does Indeed, have you've been a agaree enjoined? Yeah,
Speaker 4: lagia or whatever?
Speaker 1: Very good, it's not bad bad. It didn't spell it
Speaker 1: my death though. That's true, and so sometimes it's not
Speaker 1: authentic Korean beef. Then is it that?
Speaker 4: Sometimes whant to say not bad that means eh. Sometimes
Speaker 4: when I say not bad, I mean it's not bad.
Speaker 4: It's not bad, it's good. The opposite are not bad.
Speaker 4: It's not bad, it's good. Correct, And that the pod.
Speaker 1: That's just an abrupt, random ending to the episode. So
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, and our episode as well. Actually, no,
Speaker 1: we still got a few more things to do. We
Speaker 1: have a few more things to do, including what'd you learn?
