Speaker 1: I can't believe you told Lenning a car they could
Speaker 1: bring dates because they're not even coming to the wedding.
Speaker 1: Why not because there are s v P cards arrived
Speaker 1: one day after the deadline March.
Speaker 2: Maybe you should take a break from wedding planning. I
Speaker 2: think you're becoming a.
Speaker 1: Bridezilla, Bridezilla, a combination of bride and Godzilla. Could you
Speaker 1: say that were like you're a king wrong?
Speaker 3: Four Finger Discount, dude.
Speaker 4: Welcome to four Finger Discount, where this week we're getting married.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a bit of a disaster, though it
Speaker 4: is wedding for Disaster. I'm Dando and I'm guy very
Speaker 4: surprised by this episode, have you yeah? You hate to say, no,
Speaker 4: I I hate to say because like this, I can
Speaker 4: hate those I mean, let's be honest. This episode. We're
Speaker 4: in the middle of season twenty right, well two thirds
Speaker 4: of the way through season twenty are and I saw
Speaker 4: wedding for Disaster. I saw the tagline was like margin
Speaker 4: Homer get married again. But then Homer baales the tagline.
Speaker 4: I went, oh, boy, is it gonna be fun another
Speaker 4: one of these ones? Eye Homer, You're done fucked up?
Speaker 4: But yeah, yes, and to our surprise, not necessarily the
Speaker 4: case wedding for disaster feels like the writers room went,
Speaker 4: all right, we're in the middle of season twenty. People
Speaker 4: are hating on the show because they think that we've
Speaker 4: created joke ass Homer. Right, joke Arshmer has gone full
Speaker 4: joke ass and he still has existed in season twenty.
Speaker 4: This feels somewhat like them trying to retcon the character
Speaker 4: and go, we messed up, Yes, we promise, we'll try
Speaker 4: and do good going forward. I can't recall many episodes
Speaker 4: between now and I've only really watched the last maybe
Speaker 4: two or three seasons of The Simpsons newer Ones rights
Speaker 4: maybe four or five, and joke Assoman doesn't really exist anymore.
Speaker 4: And I went, when did they get rid of joke
Speaker 4: ass Homer? I wonder if this is it? I hope
Speaker 4: this is it. I hope this is when they've gone.
Speaker 5: This is the returning point, hopefully.
Speaker 4: Because how can you have this episode and then go
Speaker 4: back to joke ass Homer. How can you have him
Speaker 4: read those wedding vows? Because I'm watching this going they
Speaker 4: even use Paddy and some of the two characters on
Speaker 4: the show who hate Homer more than any other character
Speaker 4: on the show. He won them over. If he can
Speaker 4: win them over, then he should be able to win
Speaker 4: us over. That's I think that they use them effectively
Speaker 4: as the tools to go see even Paddy and someone
Speaker 4: like him again. So if they like him, then you
Speaker 4: should like him again. Hopefully they keep going forward and
Speaker 4: he stays this version of home because this was.
Speaker 5: Lovely, Absolutely it was.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 5: Look, we're not saying that Homer shouldn't be insensitive or
Speaker 5: thoughtless or a buffoon for the sake of comedy.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's like for comedies, and as long as there
Speaker 4: are ripercussions for his actions, he's held a cannibal for them,
Speaker 4: because that's the annoying thing for joke. As Homer, it's
Speaker 4: felt in the teen years was he's a jerk and
Speaker 4: Home it just goes.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's our hom Yes, shouldn't. Shouldn't happen. And we've
Speaker 5: been increasingly frustrated watching episodes, frustrated watching the behavior getting
Speaker 5: worse and worse, there being no blowback for us and
Speaker 5: it just being sort of standard operating procedure. We don't
Speaker 5: like it. We get a feeling that a lot of
Speaker 5: the viewers that the Simpsons didn't like it either, and
Speaker 5: I want it appears maybe some of the creative people thought,
Speaker 5: as well, look, this isn't working out too well, or
Speaker 5: this is straying too far from what we initially had
Speaker 5: in mind for the Simpsons.
Speaker 4: I wonder if by this point, so under this air,
Speaker 4: the original air of this one was in two thousand
Speaker 4: and Stanley Guy was still a thing I set up
Speaker 4: because I remember they sort of turned Homer, they changed
Speaker 4: him to sort of become more of like a Peter
Speaker 4: Griffin character. Right, So the Family Guy really took off
Speaker 4: and started ninety nine to two thousand, but it took
Speaker 4: off about two thousand and four. Maybe the fad of
Speaker 4: Family Guy was dying down a little bit and they went, oh,
Speaker 4: we can maybe sort of diet tone that down a
Speaker 4: bit now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, quite possible. It felt like they're deliberately.
Speaker 4: Trying to reckon the character, in my opinion, in this episode.
Speaker 5: It feels that way, it doesn't it. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: you're sort of getting back to Homer being kind of
Speaker 5: dumb but good hearted, essentially a bit selfish, but not
Speaker 5: bad underneath at all. And this is what came through
Speaker 5: in this episode more than more than anything, and certainly
Speaker 5: more in previous episodes where he's just acted out or
Speaker 5: acted up or behaved badly.
Speaker 4: And Marge comes across quite negative in this episode, but
Speaker 4: it's only because she's going full bride zilla mode. And
Speaker 4: I actually thought it was nice to see Marge finally
Speaker 4: get her bride' zilla moment because she she's gone through
Speaker 4: a lot, Marge, and she's sacrificed a lot, and she's compromised.
Speaker 4: Now she's finally getting the wedding that she deserved, that
Speaker 4: she want, that she wanted and to deserve, but she's
Speaker 4: to go one full Bridezilla and oh yeah. They use
Speaker 4: that though, as a way to also make you feel
Speaker 4: sympathy for Homer again, because he's going, can I have
Speaker 4: a rocket cake? She's going no, no, no, no, you
Speaker 4: can choose the icing. Okay, I want chocolate. Nobo're getting Lenanon.
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's one of my trivia questions.
Speaker 4: But it's just a case of I just thought Homer
Speaker 4: throughout this episode was really relatable.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, I mean, if you've been in a relationship
Speaker 5: quite some time, or you've been married or whatever, we're
Speaker 5: staring into some cliches and some stereotypes, but I think
Speaker 5: there are certain occasions like that when you when the
Speaker 5: male half of the of the relationship in a heterosexual
Speaker 5: relationship will go along to get along. We're like, I
Speaker 5: think the feeling this is more important to you than
Speaker 5: it is to me. It's more you know, you're going
Speaker 5: to be the focus of attention on this time. Let's
Speaker 5: let it go right for you.
Speaker 4: That was very much me on the weddingdow. I went,
Speaker 4: I don't care, just do it.
Speaker 5: I don't care. I love you. Thought that was good anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it looks it's wholly justifiable for Marge to want things
Speaker 5: her way as she does. She's never had this opportunity before,
Speaker 5: That's correct. Yeah, I mean, look, I must have been.
Speaker 5: I was doing a little of my own, not red conning.
Speaker 5: But you know how we like to tinker with episodes.
Speaker 4: We say fix, fix, and sometimes we do it.
Speaker 5: I was thinking, oh, not that this was a heel
Speaker 5: turn from Marge or anything like that, or wholly unexpected
Speaker 5: or anything like that, but I was saying, oh, it
Speaker 5: would have been for me at least it would have
Speaker 5: been interesting, or would again an episode a little more
Speaker 5: flow if she's sort of fallen prey to like as
Speaker 5: I have watching reality TV and watching Bridezilla or something
Speaker 5: like that and just getting infected that way, as opposed
Speaker 5: to just it being something that she's been holding in
Speaker 5: deep inside. Although that works as well.
Speaker 4: That's actually a good point. I feel like five years
Speaker 4: ago there, because there was an era of the show
Speaker 4: of the Simpsons where it felt like they were constantly
Speaker 4: parroting reality shows. It was always like that, Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: they were frustrated. This show is so popular now and
Speaker 4: our show is not as popular as it once was.
Speaker 4: Though now frustrated, they're getting their angry out through the
Speaker 4: rining of the show. We haven't seen a good, not
Speaker 4: a good, but we haven't seen a parody of a
Speaker 4: reality show for a while. This was season sixteen. I
Speaker 4: think that's exactly what the story would have been. She
Speaker 4: watched bride Zilla as the TV show and she got
Speaker 4: swayed by them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and but no, she's been She's justified in wanting
Speaker 5: wanting her day, her way, as they say, so, we
Speaker 5: are the hard way. That is a banger, if you
Speaker 5: say so. If you're a wrestling fan, you definitely think
Speaker 5: it's a banger because it was using the best highlight
Speaker 5: reel of all time to promote the Steve Boston versus
Speaker 5: Rock match at Wrestling in seventeen, considered the best highlight
Speaker 5: package of all time in wrestling history.
Speaker 4: I understood maybe like six of those words we spoke
Speaker 4: about Hill. That's when the greatest baby phase of all time.
Speaker 4: Stone called Steve Boston turned heel, and everyone went, we
Speaker 4: want to boo this guy, and wrestling was never the same.
Speaker 5: I can never imagine Stone called Steve Buston as a babyface.
Speaker 4: He was the anti establishment, so everyone loved him because
Speaker 4: he was a what do you call those, an anti
Speaker 4: heel kind of thing, anti hero, anti heroes, anti anti
Speaker 4: hero where basically he was the guy beating up his
Speaker 4: boss every week and everyone lived vi carously. And then
Speaker 4: after that match he shook the boss's hand and signed
Speaker 4: a deal of the devil and everyone was like, ah, oh,
Speaker 4: we thought so the one reason we watched this show
Speaker 4: is now not here any.
Speaker 5: We thought you were to take this We thought you
Speaker 5: were to take this job and shove it guy Stone Cold.
Speaker 4: Yes, I will say this episode here feels like a
Speaker 4: treeouse of horror gone begging. I'm a big fan of
Speaker 4: Saw franchise or the original Saw film that Saw franchise,
Speaker 4: the original Saw film. I remember seeing two maybe three
Speaker 4: at the movies, But I liked the original Saw because
Speaker 4: I just have that nostalgia for being shocked. Not many
Speaker 4: movies shocked me with a twist, and that one really
Speaker 4: shocked me. I remember going, WHOA, that's that's real, that's happening.
Speaker 4: This one here feels like it could have been a
Speaker 4: treouse of horror segment. It's almost like they created a
Speaker 4: tree house of horror segment and went, ah, we can't.
Speaker 5: We haven't got space to use on this week. This
Speaker 5: year is special. Let's build an episode around it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to remember when Saw came. Okay, so
Speaker 5: lobbies a little bit late to the party, although yeah,
Speaker 5: we're probably deep in the Saw franchise, as you say, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean they were turning them out like once a
Speaker 5: year or so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, two thousand and four was the first one. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Lee were Now that's right on the movie Guarde. That's great.
Speaker 5: And the mythology of the Saw legend just got increasingly
Speaker 5: convoluted and strange. But yeah, people were turning out for
Speaker 5: those Saw movies.
Speaker 4: Man, wow, we so Saw one two thousand and four,
Speaker 4: Saw two, two thousand and five, SAW three, two thousand
Speaker 4: and six, Saw four, two thousand and seven, Saw five
Speaker 4: and eight, two nine, twenty ten, So six years straight,
Speaker 4: seven years straight there was new Saw films. That's pretty
Speaker 4: much they what they did with the Friday of the Turnings movies,
Speaker 4: you know, back in the eight usually the ones. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: they were just like they were trying to get them
Speaker 4: out at least once a year, or Nightmare and Night
Speaker 4: Realms as well.
Speaker 5: And that's cool.
Speaker 4: Oh I wish we did more of that now, like, oh, yes,
Speaker 4: I New Friday third, like I think of a modern
Speaker 4: day film. Yes, it's a new Sinners, you know, yeah.
Speaker 5: That's true. I mean I think Blomhouse was trying to
Speaker 5: do that with the New Meghan, you know, the Killer Doll,
Speaker 5: the dancers, you know, I think they brought the second
Speaker 5: one of those out, but yeah, I get the feeling
Speaker 5: year Blomhouse wanted to do that kind of thing where
Speaker 5: it's conjuring.
Speaker 4: Give mean that one.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no Megan, Okay, no, there's Annibal. There's Annibal
Speaker 5: the Haunted Doll, Annabelle the Haunted Doll. But then there's
Speaker 5: also Megan, which is kind of like the oh yes,
Speaker 5: like a robot. Yeah, I know what you mean now
Speaker 5: with the three that's right. No, But I love the
Speaker 5: idea of just some enterprising hustler producers, like it's the
Speaker 5: same ship every time different. Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4: But I feel like this could have been a really
Speaker 4: good Saw parody, like they had all the elements there
Speaker 4: for they.
Speaker 5: Well, they did a good Saw parody. Yeah, you're right
Speaker 5: in terms of like, oh, it would have been interesting
Speaker 5: treehouse thing. But I think they folded it really well
Speaker 5: into this. I must admit when I initially when they
Speaker 5: had the scene with like Homer wakes up in the
Speaker 5: room and he's like he's chaining, like, oh, you don't sore,
Speaker 5: it was a little late all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: The way they played it out I thought was actually
Speaker 5: pretty good in terms of like who had imprisoned him,
Speaker 5: the stuff that he had to go through, and the
Speaker 5: stuff he was willing to go through.
Speaker 4: They flipped the script on, you know, saw Jigsaw actually
Speaker 4: falling for the victim.
Speaker 5: That's right. Yeah, yeah, So I thought Homer recquitted himself
Speaker 5: like a boss in that torture rooma that he did
Speaker 5: very very well stay true to himself and to march.
Speaker 4: What were your thoughts when you read those vows. I'm
Speaker 4: reading this going this feels nothing like the Homer we've
Speaker 4: experienced for the last decade. But I'm glad this is
Speaker 4: happening now and hopefully it could just persists going forward.
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, I think we expect certain things from home,
Speaker 5: or I think we expect him to be a bit
Speaker 5: of a goof yeah, say inappropriate things, doing inappropriate stuff.
Speaker 5: But at the heart of it, as I was saying before,
Speaker 5: he's good heart.
Speaker 4: He loves his kids, loves his family, even if they
Speaker 4: drive him to distraction. I know he said, God, I
Speaker 4: miss her sister's right, that was like the kicker for them.
Speaker 4: But I was just really glad that he said I
Speaker 4: miss you much and I missed my kids, And I
Speaker 4: was like, I'm glad they acknowledged the kids as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Well he's the original family guy. And that's right,
Speaker 5: he said in a Trey Parker boys. I don't know
Speaker 5: why I did that, just combining all the very show, Yeah,
Speaker 5: bringing everything together. Speaking of unified theory of four finger discount,
Speaker 5: this is something I wanted to bring up just quickly
Speaker 5: because at the start, it's the inciting incident that the
Speaker 5: Parson comes to town. It's like, well, you know, it's
Speaker 5: interesting that we're that this episode is coming at the time.
Speaker 5: The parson is the parson, of course, but they're treating
Speaker 5: it kind of like, oh, it's the Pope coming to
Speaker 5: town and we got a new pope.
Speaker 4: I was watching this going the Unified theory because we've
Speaker 4: got Catholics the.
Speaker 8: World over and like, yeah, we got a new pope.
Speaker 5: We got Papa Leo. Yeah, from Chicago, all the all
Speaker 5: the world leads are meeting him. It's funny. I was
Speaker 5: watching the news with the Lovely Loise last night. Elbow
Speaker 5: Anthony Albanezi, the Australian Prime Minister, has gone to the
Speaker 5: Vatican to meet with Pope Leo. They had a shot
Speaker 5: of Elbow sitting in some audience in the Vatican had
Speaker 5: like a really slick pair of sungline and I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: check out Elbow. Lose Like, don't tell me a crushing
Speaker 5: on Elbow and his ray beards.
Speaker 4: I said a little bit, you love you expensive glasses,
Speaker 4: though I do.
Speaker 5: That is true. I was like, there's a man who
Speaker 5: knows quality I wear. Yeah, that's my Prime minister. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I just looked at it.
Speaker 4: Like you ridiculous, one of the odds of the new pope,
Speaker 4: and then the pope comes to town. Here on the Simpsons,
Speaker 4: the opening act was kind of just there. For me,
Speaker 4: it was it felt kind of long winded to get
Speaker 4: to the point it did.
Speaker 5: And yeah, the one of my last notes about that,
Speaker 5: you wouldn't even call it a first act. You'd call
Speaker 5: it like the the first act.
Speaker 4: I guess the first act was finally him telling Homer
Speaker 4: and margin they went married. It went for five minutes
Speaker 4: or so it was. It was two minutes before the
Speaker 4: episode started. We had the full intro, then an extended
Speaker 4: couch gag. True, whenever they get the full intro and
Speaker 4: a long couch gag, I always go, oh, yeah, that
Speaker 4: can be a good one.
Speaker 5: But every by the end the parson gag with the
Speaker 5: whole oh looks like you've got a yeah.
Speaker 4: The songs were funny, were kind of funny, and that
Speaker 4: was Cosby, right cross Crosby so not Cosby.
Speaker 5: Oh shit, now we're talking about mid twentieth century kroner Bing.
Speaker 5: Crossby looked like the biggest star in the world for
Speaker 5: a certain period. Okay, by the end that gag was
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, you've you've got every last bit
Speaker 5: of juice out of this, and now you're like you're
Speaker 5: squeezing an orange Rider's like, give me a little bit more.
Speaker 4: Who was the Parsons Simpsons. Who was the voice of that?
Speaker 4: It sounds to me like it's a Dan one, right,
Speaker 4: a Parson. Hag is Aria was a voice. Yeah, it
Speaker 4: just seems to me like it seems like Harry Sheira
Speaker 4: For a second, it just seems like Hank did the
Speaker 4: voice one time. Just thinking at Crosby impersonation, I'm like,
Speaker 4: let's work this into something because you said they really
Speaker 4: milked it, didn't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, I must admit when they when he
Speaker 5: first arrived and he sort of looks a bit like
Speaker 5: being Crosby. Then he starts just closing a thing, a
Speaker 5: little bit of a song. It's like, oh, they're doing
Speaker 5: that's unexpected in like two thousand and nine, given that,
Speaker 5: you know, you ask the average person on the street, Hey,
Speaker 5: how about they've been Grosby? Like, first of all, get
Speaker 5: away from me again. Though.
Speaker 4: It's one of those gags where as a kid, you
Speaker 4: have no idea what it is, but you're like it's
Speaker 4: something and you have.
Speaker 5: To and you do your research and you learn a
Speaker 5: little bit more.
Speaker 4: I'm just looking up that the Parson actually appears in
Speaker 4: many episodes going forward. He becomes a character he's just
Speaker 4: called the Parson, Okay, Yeah, a charismatic lower management leader
Speaker 4: of the Pressbury Lutheran Faith practice in Springfield.
Speaker 5: Well, it's kind of an interesting dynamic because you tend
Speaker 5: to think of Reverend love Joy as not holier than now,
Speaker 5: but yeah, persisting himself as kind of a moral authority
Speaker 5: and as an extension of that not a boss of
Speaker 5: the town is kind of like, well, all things have
Speaker 5: got to go through Reverend love Joy, and to him
Speaker 5: have him being intimidated by someone who upper management but
Speaker 5: was supposedly like his peer. Yeah.
Speaker 4: What they say is like it was your roommate or something,
Speaker 4: and they don't play it on they they mentioned it.
Speaker 4: I thought, why would you mention it and not play
Speaker 4: it for a story?
Speaker 5: I thought, I guess they might. They must do that
Speaker 5: later on. But yeah, him be Hey, I'm kind of
Speaker 5: a big fish in Springfield, but he comes to the
Speaker 5: bigger fish. Everybody loves him and he's kind of he's
Speaker 5: got my number. Yeah. I like that. It's I think
Speaker 5: I find it. I found that kind of fun. Do
Speaker 5: you think the parson was arrogant. I think he was
Speaker 5: very sure of himself. Oh yeah, he.
Speaker 4: Knew what he what he was. He knows what he
Speaker 4: brings to the table. He seems nice.
Speaker 5: Though, seems nice, but also yeah, like, what's that saying?
Speaker 5: What was a bee? Humble? But let motherfuckers know that's him.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that's how let him Alton describe George Lucas, Right.
Speaker 5: That's right, please please just come down. I'm just a person,
Speaker 5: just like it. But I also creative star war. I
Speaker 5: didn't forget you.
Speaker 4: I thought the Parson was going to go a bit
Speaker 4: of a hill turn here. When he's like, I'm just
Speaker 4: here to let you know they are you credit card decline?
Speaker 4: I thought, oh, reverend fucked no. But he's just he's
Speaker 4: slipping the ship and every once a whayle just reminding
Speaker 4: him that you're down here, I'm up there kinda say
Speaker 4: a couple of bad not bad taste jokes, but maybe
Speaker 4: bad taste jokes in this I mean they were of
Speaker 4: the time, of course, halla jokes. Well yeah, I'm you're
Speaker 4: when she was Harold and wait what.
Speaker 5: Well I'm watching this going what is the point.
Speaker 4: Of saying that actually there is there is real No,
Speaker 4: there is no point. There is absolutely no point because
Speaker 4: it doesn't make sense. She's had a daughter. She said, Jessica, Yeah,
Speaker 4: what are we doing? Why would you make a trans
Speaker 4: gag like that makes no sense?
Speaker 5: When she was haled, Yeah, why are you playing sort
Speaker 5: of mind games with the with Reverend Lovejoy like that?
Speaker 5: I don't know. So it struck me as kind of
Speaker 5: like it just left a bit of a sour taste
Speaker 5: in my mouth. Sorry, I don't want to pet woke
Speaker 5: or anything like that, but I mean, and yeah, I
Speaker 5: wasn't even approaching at the point of view like that's
Speaker 5: in bad taste, guys. It's more like, what's the point?
Speaker 5: What's the point? Yeah? Yeah, It's like later on when sorry,
Speaker 5: I've done that thing where you know you write the thing,
Speaker 5: but you haven't when we do trivia questions, like I
Speaker 5: know the answer, but I another question.
Speaker 4: What have you written?
Speaker 5: I've written?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 5: How did you check?
Speaker 4: So he said, isn't this a bit gay? Because last
Speaker 4: time time I checked, pirates weren't gay.
Speaker 5: That's right. How did you check?
Speaker 8: That?
Speaker 4: Was such a random thing? I went again, what this
Speaker 4: that there had no impact on the episode that was
Speaker 4: not needed went for about five seconds.
Speaker 5: Why did you include it? We were talking about how
Speaker 5: you know this episode felt like a bit of a
Speaker 5: steer away from the SETH MacFarlane family guy school of comedy.
Speaker 5: And again I don't want to be like, come on, guys,
Speaker 5: you know, oh that's age badly or something like that.
Speaker 5: But yeah, again, it's like, it wasn't funny. Yeah, not
Speaker 5: necessarily that funny. If they're funny, then not more for it.
Speaker 4: But it wasn't funny.
Speaker 5: I think the feeling that would be kind of funny
Speaker 5: coming out of someone else's mouth or another characters now
Speaker 5: on another show.
Speaker 4: No, I just don't think it didn't go for long enough.
Speaker 4: There was, but it was just random. Here's the thing,
Speaker 4: isn't this a big gay?
Speaker 5: Well that yeah, that But as listeners of Bob's Pod
Speaker 5: and other Full Finger Discount shows will know, big big
Speaker 5: fan of h. John Benjamin, his voice, acting and his delivery.
Speaker 5: I get the feeling. I can hear that in Bob
Speaker 5: Belcher's voice. How'd your check? It's like I can hear
Speaker 5: it working in that rebout.
Speaker 4: If you have the sea captain for whatever reason, So
Speaker 4: to set up the situation is the Sea Captain is
Speaker 4: the one saying last night Jack Pirates weren't gay whatever
Speaker 4: and had your check and it was cutting him, going yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe something like that could be because they've implied that
Speaker 4: the Sea Captain's gay many times. That's past, but this
Speaker 4: has felt But let's not focus on their Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: look's focused on some favorite moments, shall we.

Speaker 5: sort of non secure. It's like, yeah, why would else,
Speaker 5: why would someone become to do it? They've probably got
Speaker 5: to be delivering pizza. Why is it Reverend Lovejoy delivering pizza? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Like then the whole thing, Marge, we order pizza and
Speaker 5: the pizza is not even here. I thought that was
Speaker 5: I thought that was pretty funny. I like the other
Speaker 5: Homer line that I liked was when he discovers he's
Speaker 5: in the saw room and he's like, I'm chained up
Speaker 5: like a common bicycle. That I missed that line. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and also I thought this was very sweet. Yeah, we
Speaker 5: talked about how Homer came through with being a devoted
Speaker 5: husband to March. When he discovers that the lollipop is
Speaker 5: like has got the key in it or whatever, He's like, Oh,
Speaker 5: this is easy. Look at Oh it's hot sauce. He
Speaker 5: just keeps going through with it. He's just gonna, he's gonna.
Speaker 5: He wants to get back to March. He could have
Speaker 5: he could have smashed that lollipop. I'm thinking the same thing.
Speaker 5: He could have done that, but yeah, he just keeps
Speaker 5: lick at it like a g good good man.
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on hot sauce. I'm a bit
Speaker 4: of a I'm a I'm a weakling when it comes
Speaker 4: to hot spicy stuff.
Speaker 5: Can't do it. I like them. I get the feeling
Speaker 5: that in the year twenty twenty five, or just in
Speaker 5: the twenty twenties, being a hot source guy is kind
Speaker 5: of cliche. It's like being a Fedora guy. You know,
Speaker 5: if you haven't traded anything too, you've trade Carolina reap
Speaker 5: it or you know the guy with a well kept
Speaker 5: bed drinking a pale ale. Yeah, yeah, it's like and
Speaker 5: oh my nacho's were good, but he pulls out his
Speaker 5: own personal one that he made. Yeah, you know you
Speaker 5: used to be able to get those little bottles of
Speaker 5: sarachi that keys like that kind of person having said that,
Speaker 5: that's me, No, but I do like a hot sauce.
Speaker 5: There's an Austrain brand called Bunsters. They're really going for
Speaker 5: that whole thing. It's like, oh, it's so hard to
Speaker 5: drive you and saying like, you know, have little things
Speaker 5: on it, like there's a sixteen out of ten on
Speaker 5: the hot scale, may cause anal leakage and all that
Speaker 5: kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, anal leakage, it says that, Yeah, anal leakage
Speaker 4: is a horrific term. That is true a leaky and
Speaker 4: one's called shit the bed and all that kind of
Speaker 4: suff It's very much like, are you tough enough to
Speaker 4: have this old spores? And of course I was challenge accepted,
Speaker 4: you won't. I can never go too wild with it.
Speaker 4: But if I'm making guacamalle, I will put a few.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm making milk of the Monster, two
Speaker 4: drops of sinister. Yeah, and that's what I put it,
Speaker 4: put into the guacamole. And no I listening has any
Speaker 4: idea what you're talking about Milton the Monster. I said,
Speaker 4: I have a mother who grew up in the sixth
Speaker 4: seventies of his show, so I know exactly what you're
Speaker 4: talking about.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I allude to this the other day. It's terrible
Speaker 5: when me going to Ali, Hey, Ali, you know Humphrey
Speaker 5: be Bears, Like, what when your pop culture references start
Speaker 5: dying on the vine, it's just really really there.
Speaker 4: Well, Simpsons references are now dying in the vine for people.
Speaker 4: People who are twenty so have no idea that watch
Speaker 4: of Simpsons. They just didn't watch it.
Speaker 5: Let me ask you something, if you ever heard of
Speaker 5: a band called The Violent Them, Yeah, of course I have. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 5: I get the feeling they don't have as much cultural
Speaker 5: sort of cachet as they used to. But I'm cool
Speaker 5: enough to know who they are. Well, that's true. Cool,
Speaker 5: but yeah, back in the eighties we were like, you
Speaker 5: ain't cool and listen listen to the balon Fams Pixies
Speaker 5: as well. Yeah, but they had a song called kiss off,
Speaker 5: and there's a line in it where I'm leasing a
Speaker 5: Gordon ganno go. I hope you know that this will
Speaker 5: go down on your permanent record. Now, I was used
Speaker 5: to use that as kind of like a punchline. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: I got it. Yeah, man, that's if someone did something
Speaker 5: wrong or you know, someone ye made a mis staatement.
Speaker 5: I hope you know this will go down on your
Speaker 5: permanent record. As we were saying, if you know, you know,
Speaker 5: and they will go cool gay. Yeah, nobody knows it anymore.
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh, it feels really sad. I
Speaker 5: got to phase that out of my personal voca.
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll just you persist with it, Just persist. Well,
Speaker 4: that's the other.
Speaker 5: Thing, you know, if you know you've won, then you've won.

Speaker 4: DJ Guy, I did our wedding. DJ Mitch who passed
Speaker 4: away suddenly.

Speaker 4: what he would do is he'd get old historical photos. Right,
Speaker 4: we have his It sounds so random, but we have
Speaker 4: this thing called Geelong Historical Societies.
Speaker 5: I was called, and people in Geelong it's on Facebook.
Speaker 5: That's necessarily that random. I know, it's just I don't
Speaker 5: know you're talking about it. I'm sure people listening like
Speaker 5: what the fuck? I'm sure people you have your localized
Speaker 5: Facebook groups and people would post old school photos of
Speaker 5: Gelong and what the are rare damage and ripped or whatever,
Speaker 5: and he'd fix them up, he'd colorize them and make
Speaker 5: them all looking great. And then one day it's just like, oh,
Speaker 5: DJ Mitch just passed away, just sort of just dropped
Speaker 5: dead kind of thing. Essentially, everyone went, I didn't know
Speaker 5: the guy. I feel like, oh yeah, every like Geelong
Speaker 5: felt sad for a day. Oh yeah, he was a
Speaker 5: local personality. Yeah, and he DJD wedding.
Speaker 4: He filmed their wedding for us I garage Magic Moses's
Speaker 4: DJ Mitch.

Speaker 4: Cookie one watched the Asian kind of random that Cookie one,
Speaker 4: but I went, no, Well, she worked with Marge at

Speaker 4: Because he got back together, but it was like a
Speaker 4: love hate relationship, right.

Speaker 4: I think he got lucky with Mandula, sorry with Salmat
Speaker 4: like it was no big deal.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's worth enough more discussion. Let's just
Speaker 4: move on.

Speaker 4: wedding episode and explained because I was like, oh, yeah,

Speaker 4: with though. Let's of the episode. So the original air
Speaker 4: day of wedding for Disaster was March twenty ninth, two
Speaker 4: thousand and nine. Would you like to know the top
Speaker 4: three films at the box office at that time? What
Speaker 4: was big in two thousand and nine?
Speaker 5: Do you think it's I don't know. Would you say
Speaker 5: monsters versus aliens? Well, now that you mention it, yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean monsters are always big, aliens are always big.
Speaker 5: Imagine pitting the two of them against one, now you'd
Speaker 5: probably be number one.
Speaker 4: I never watched the film, but the kids watched it recently,
Speaker 4: was on Netflix, I think, and they sort of kids
Speaker 4: just find things. Now I feel like I put down
Speaker 4: streaming services a lot. There is an element now that
Speaker 4: kids can operate the remote finding movies much like I
Speaker 4: used to discover films at the video store, when you're
Speaker 4: just browsing through and you see the picture and you go,
Speaker 4: I know what this is about because I can't read,
Speaker 4: but the.
Speaker 5: Pictures look good.
Speaker 4: Sure, And they go and they discovered Mosses versus Aliens
Speaker 4: and they love it. They really really enjoy it.
Speaker 5: Yah. It's a very generous way of looking at the
Speaker 5: modern age.
Speaker 4: The Haunting in Connecticut was number two at the US
Speaker 4: box office at the time. No recollection at all, Nope.
Speaker 4: And the third one, you may know it. It's knowing.
Speaker 4: Oh film here and Gelong it part of it, part
Speaker 4: of it certainly Nicholas Cage, who is going to be
Speaker 4: playing He's in the movie that was filmed in Geelong, Madden.
Speaker 5: Different movie. Oh is it okay? Different movie? Yeah, the
Speaker 5: one in Geelong is Mister Irrelevant starring the New Superman. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Nicholas Cage is playing Madden in Madden, which is about
Speaker 5: John Madden and him being part of the biggest sports
Speaker 5: video game in history. Yeah, Madden NFL like Madden Madden. Yeah, Shlock,
Speaker 5: Shane Warre ninety nine.
Speaker 4: But it's Madden Madden like Bruce mcivat again, it's like
Speaker 4: mcavanny twenty five, Bruce mcavanni and acclaimed sports commentator here Astralia.
Speaker 4: Absolute legend, absolute legend indeed. But yeah, So the original edit,
Speaker 4: as I said, of this episode, was March twenty ninth,
Speaker 4: two thousand and nine, production code Lab F zero five,
Speaker 4: written by Joel H. Cohen, directed by Chuck Sheets. Guest
Speaker 4: stars Calsi Grummer as Sacho Bob for a brief cameo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nice that he came back.
Speaker 4: Need a Sarchobob episode every season other than they used
Speaker 4: to do in the Gold Near But it felt like
Speaker 4: by this point, twenty years and how many times can
Speaker 4: he come back and do the same thing. So him
Speaker 4: just making a cameo like this, I'm all for it.
Speaker 5: That's a nice little rug pull.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then the chopball game. My piggy bank is
Speaker 4: not entitled to TARP funds.
Speaker 5: What is TARP. TARP is troubled Asset Relief Program. Relief
Speaker 5: program is essentially the bailout for banks.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, there we go, and the couch gag for
Speaker 4: dinner courses resembling Homer, Lisa, March and Bart are all eaten.
Speaker 4: And then we have an after dinner mint of Maggie,
Speaker 4: and it turns out it is the comic book guy
Speaker 4: who has been eating them. He wipes his face. I
Speaker 4: think in the grease looks like the family on the couch.
Speaker 4: Correct catch, not too bad, not too bad, indeed, not
Speaker 4: too bad, not too bad. The episode kicks off with
Speaker 4: us on Us with the town at church Today is Shadrack.
Speaker 4: They you pronounce it shadrack, the other friend of I'm
Speaker 4: not religious apologies.
Speaker 5: The only reason I know about shadow, about these particular
Speaker 5: characters is because the Beast Boys had a song about
Speaker 5: them on Paul's tick Shadrack, Mishack and a bed and
Speaker 5: to go. It's Paul's tick the LP I bought for
Speaker 5: you it is. Yes, it's the second Beast of Boys
Speaker 5: album and just one of the best albums of all time.
Speaker 4: I bought you an original one too. It wasn't like
Speaker 4: a reprint, but Lovejoy explains how there are only two
Speaker 4: real commandments here the other eight of filler. What are
Speaker 4: the two real ones?
Speaker 5: Do you think? I'm pretty sure they all shall not
Speaker 5: kill is up there and murder Yeah, and well, if
Speaker 5: they're coming direct from God, I imagine like the shall
Speaker 5: not disrespect God.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am God. Nobody else, yeah, noticing No the
Speaker 4: icon or something, isn't it no other idol?
Speaker 5: Yeah? False? Yeah, no graven images or some something like that. Anyway,
Speaker 5: but he has some exciting cover your neighbor's wife.
Speaker 4: Then he has some exciting news though, and tomorrow there'll
Speaker 4: be a visit from the highest ranking clergyman of the
Speaker 4: presby Lutheran faith, his Holiness the Parson, which is the
Speaker 4: Simpsons version of the Pope. Yes, indeed, yeah, except he's
Speaker 4: far core than the Pope.
Speaker 5: No, Papa looks like cool dude, he does. Yeah, just
Speaker 5: I mean it's the gear, like this guy's rocking up.
Speaker 5: You just you know. Yeah, he's been Crosby, isn't he
Speaker 5: being Crosby? Yeah? Yeah, everyone's very well does everyone's very excited,
Speaker 5: but Flanders is very He's excited enough for everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Homie's patterned high pitch squeal. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Homie uses this as an excuse to leave by saying
Speaker 4: they're going is it sniffing salts.
Speaker 5: Or whatever, We're going to get some smelling smelling salts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they bail. Then we get the news report
Speaker 4: at the I gues say the grand opening, but it's
Speaker 4: the grand arrival.
Speaker 9: I should say Springfielders have camped out all night to
Speaker 9: get a glimpse of the most safely person that's in
Speaker 9: our town since Mother Teresa stopped to guess au Per
Speaker 9: vesper and I'm.
Speaker 4: Telling all sorts of faith based knickknacks.
Speaker 2: Let's take a look.
Speaker 8: I'd commit arson for the parson clergyman can kiss my apps?
Speaker 5: Oh kinds of gems.
Speaker 10: Surprisingly none of them have sold except for this one.
Speaker 4: This scene came across like we've a couple of putting
Speaker 4: a few puns together. We want to get we have
Speaker 4: to get him out of our system.
Speaker 5: How can we do it? These are too good to
Speaker 5: put on the whiteboard and the writers or even just
Speaker 5: share amongst that. So with these are signed gags. They
Speaker 5: couldn't find signs for very good thinking. Yeah, so what
Speaker 5: was it?
Speaker 4: I'd commit arson for the parson clergyman can kiss my apps?
Speaker 4: And then the third one he didn't read out, but
Speaker 4: he sees, who would Jesus do do you think that's
Speaker 4: a legal didn't know. We can't have mo saying this,
Speaker 4: but you can read it.
Speaker 5: You can read it and if you're willing to have to,
Speaker 5: if you're willing to pay the attention, well, you know,
Speaker 5: you may feel you may laugh, or you may be offended.
Speaker 4: But I remember there was a website. What would Tyler
Speaker 4: Durton do?
Speaker 5: Do you remember that? I'm aware of it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: What happened to that website?
Speaker 5: I don't know. All the websites that were huge then
Speaker 5: just sort of just went bankrupt really quickly. Well that's true. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the ashes fell out. We got this saying when you know,
Speaker 5: if you're going to warn against, don't put your nudes
Speaker 5: on the internet. The internet is forever. It's not really forever.
Speaker 5: So many things that wait.
Speaker 4: Which was the website that whole Hogan sued? Oh that
Speaker 4: was Gorka Gorka was it?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Hawker Media, Yeah, yeah, because he was.
Speaker 4: Releasing the racist stuff, wasn't it.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Well he's bankrolled by Peter Teel's like one
Speaker 5: of the biggest, one of the richest people in the world.
Speaker 5: It's all very sketchy, but wonderful. What a wonderful world.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately for mo though, none of these things have sold
Speaker 4: except for the welcome passing badges, just.
Speaker 5: Like news has never been so after Yeah.
Speaker 4: The parson then arrives and planners asked for a quick
Speaker 4: church position on family. It gives his position his family
Speaker 4: is more important than ever and makes his mustache tingle.
Speaker 4: And then he says, I'm just a man. I'm just
Speaker 4: a man like any other. There's been chosen by guard.
Speaker 4: As you're saying, like, he's very he's humble, but he
Speaker 4: wants you to make oh, sure you're aware I'm also
Speaker 4: the man. The man, Yes, yeah, I was chosen by God.
Speaker 4: He said he's come from the World Spiritual Headquarters located.
Speaker 5: In Michigan City.
Speaker 4: He said he's going to go speak to Reverend love
Speaker 4: Joy as well. And this is where we find out
Speaker 4: that he was his old roommate from Texas Christian And
Speaker 4: they just don't play into that at all, do they.
Speaker 4: They've got some history there, ye, I guess that's why
Speaker 4: they're so casual with each other.
Speaker 5: I think they did just enough. You know, I just
Speaker 5: sort of give you a hint into their background and
Speaker 5: why Lovejoy would feel the way he feels. You know, he's,
Speaker 5: like I said, he's the big fish in this small town.
Speaker 5: But yeah, the guy he shared a room with that
Speaker 5: Texas Christian's gone on to become the parson.
Speaker 4: And I think he's interesting enough as a character where
Speaker 4: you could, like I said, he obviously returns buy into
Speaker 4: a story down the track. They've established here. They were
Speaker 4: friends in their roommates. There'll be an episode at some point.
Speaker 5: It's like if you were at school with mister Beast.
Speaker 4: Please know that's that's wild man.
Speaker 5: Doesn't smile, just shows his teeth, just shows his teeth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what annoys me is that he now has
Speaker 4: action figures. It was like some it was a beast.
Speaker 4: It's like it's this blue Beast thing. And his kids
Speaker 4: at school they put out these toys. I said, what
Speaker 4: are they? They look like he man toys go it's
Speaker 4: mister Beast's toys.
Speaker 5: And I went, oh, man.
Speaker 4: I'm so out of touch. Mister Beast is now action
Speaker 4: figures anyway, But he says he's he's nervous.
Speaker 5: He tries.
Speaker 4: He says to Helen, look, he's the pope of this thing,
Speaker 4: you know, and she says, don't worry about it. Don't
Speaker 4: worry about it at all. And so it'd be like
Speaker 4: you if Mary Kate visited you when you were selling
Speaker 4: her cosmetics. That's if you stuck with it, and she says, well,
Speaker 4: you asked me to a quick cause I was making
Speaker 4: more money than you. On are the odds that we
Speaker 4: finally we get a take on husband Insecurity the week
Speaker 4: after we do Springfield Connection? True, but that's I can
Speaker 4: buy into love Joy not wanting Helen to make more money.
Speaker 5: Than him, can't you? Oh yeah, I think he's pretty traditional.
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, I think it sort of want things
Speaker 5: to go the way they.
Speaker 4: They greet him as he arrives, Helen talks up that
Speaker 4: she's waxed the pews and whatnot, and he wants to
Speaker 4: talk in private and Lovejoy's office and sings another one
Speaker 4: of his songs on the way there. Just as I said,
Speaker 4: just comes across like Hankazaria just does a good thing.
Speaker 4: So they just went with it.
Speaker 5: Wax in the pews.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's here because Lovejoy's card has declined when they
Speaker 4: charge his filing fee for his recertification, So everything he's
Speaker 4: done for that three month period wasn't void. So it
Speaker 4: wasn't the previous three months.
Speaker 5: It was a while ago. Parent correct, Yes, And yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean I think they do a pretty good job.
Speaker 5: They don't really throw love Joy under the bus. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's not like he's mismanaged funds. It was a good
Speaker 5: reason for there was a legitimate mistake, Yes, because Helen.
Speaker 5: The bank put a hold in the account because Helen
Speaker 5: bought a offshore poker for the fire. Yes instead she Yeah,
Speaker 5: well the bank clearly thought, oh, he's doing some kind
Speaker 5: of weird gambling thing, but no, she was buying a
Speaker 5: poker offshore, as in from Canada.
Speaker 4: And in this scene here, whilst they're talking, Flanners is
Speaker 4: in the background in the window to society. He sees
Speaker 4: he makes icon bails.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: This is them just again taking advantage of the Hahty
Speaker 4: era where you can add stuff in the background and
Speaker 4: keep I've read read I think that was one of
Speaker 4: the audio commentaries I listened to where they said they
Speaker 4: wanted to take advantage and just keep all elements of
Speaker 4: the shot interesting.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I do think at times though, it can be a
Speaker 4: bit distracting. So I found myself watching Flanders and not
Speaker 4: paying attention to what they were saying.
Speaker 5: True. Actually, yeah, I mean no, you're right, that's a
Speaker 5: really good point. Sometimes less is more.
Speaker 4: I get you can do it, but sometimes you don't
Speaker 4: have to Yeah, yeah, because there are times where it works.
Speaker 4: But I just don't think having Flanders acting or disrected
Speaker 4: in the background, distracting in the background when I'm trying
Speaker 4: to listen to the conversation can.
Speaker 5: Be focusing on. Once Acain, I.
Speaker 4: Couldn't focus and I pauses, and he's doing so I
Speaker 4: had to pause and rewinded ten seconds, I went, oh,
Speaker 4: I wasn't. I found myself not listening but just watching Flanders.

Speaker 4: all this stuff. So Jasper's about his wife by the way,
Speaker 4: quick note, Yeah, he looked it up in his Psalm pilot,
Speaker 4: which I thought was pretty funny.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So he goes and tells Jasper about so about his wife.
Speaker 5: Was it the funeral?
Speaker 4: Yes, And he looked at her ashes on the bus
Speaker 4: or whatever, and it just was like, so she's not dead.
Speaker 4: Then the sea Captain's vessel isn't blessed and gets taken
Speaker 4: over by a wave and clearness is tin Ruf shanty
Speaker 4: has not been blessed as.
Speaker 5: Well, hadn't been blessed, so he thinks it's haunted, and
Speaker 5: it turns out to actually being haunted by the male man.
Speaker 5: The male man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the ghost keeps coming to his window. Then he
Speaker 4: tells Homer and Marge at their new wedding there would
Speaker 4: have been the third because it was the fourth. Their
Speaker 4: third wedding was not certified. But Marge runs through the
Speaker 4: previous episode where the Luan and Kirk split up, and
Speaker 4: we'll get the gist that the previous episode and where
Speaker 4: she's going through the photos, and she shows that she
Speaker 4: thinks of Pooh got lucky with her sister.
Speaker 5: Very casual.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you're right, I in my brain has assumed
Speaker 4: other must have split up because he cheered on it.
Speaker 4: But I think they got back together anyway. Bahoma says,
Speaker 4: you know, the old lady and I've got a good
Speaker 4: thing going on. We don't need a piece of paper, man,
Speaker 4: what do you mean, old lady?
Speaker 5: I need that paper quick. I do like it when
Speaker 5: I sort of let's yeah, that's not being a joke, No, no,
Speaker 5: not at all. He's just reverting to youthful. Youthful Homer, well,
Speaker 5: he was trying to be nice. He's like, we don't
Speaker 5: need no damn piece of paper. We're in love.
Speaker 4: Do you mean old lady quick? Before she runs. So
Speaker 4: now they're eating lunch because they weren't eating breakfast. I
Speaker 4: ran at breakfast table when they're eating sandwiches. It was
Speaker 4: just such an odd thing. What I think I've ever
Speaker 4: seen him all just eating sandwiches. Anyway, they're eating sandwiches.
Speaker 4: But asked, does that make me a bastard? Then if
Speaker 4: you weren't married, No, because they were married when they
Speaker 4: originally had bart But if he does something to make
Speaker 4: somebody angry and cause, yes, that is still valid. So
Speaker 4: he says it's good because they I think Lisa suggested
Speaker 4: you should go get married at town hall or something
Speaker 4: like that. Anyway, they're gonna get married. And but so
Speaker 4: that's great because then you won't me just be in
Speaker 4: life instead of just exhausted zombies running down the clock.
Speaker 4: Homer chokes him, cause him a little bastard again? Is
Speaker 4: it just their way of getting away of using bastard?
Speaker 4: Probably anyway, it won't, I guess for the scene. But
Speaker 4: we're in line now at city hall. Want to say,
Speaker 4: I think it's city hall to get like a what
Speaker 4: dold you call his shot shotgun wedding?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, shotgun marriage is when Las Vegas. No no,
Speaker 5: it's when knocked up someone, isn't it? Someone has knocked
Speaker 5: up and one of the father and law has probably
Speaker 5: come along with the shotgun? You better get married? Is
Speaker 5: that what it's probm? Is it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay? So what this is more just like a city
Speaker 5: hall wedding or a registry registry Yeah, okay, it's not
Speaker 5: really a ceremonious much. It's a it's a procedure. It's
Speaker 5: a process.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but sorry, Glory and Snake are in line, mo
Speaker 4: and a lot anyway. I just said that because this
Speaker 4: is not the romantic place she thought she was going
Speaker 4: to be getting married in. Homers says, well, any place
Speaker 4: with you is romantic to me. Half the CoP's coming through,
Speaker 4: Jemah says he's going to take her elsewhere, because you
Speaker 4: know what home it's nice?
Speaker 5: Can you look? What's the angle here? What are you
Speaker 5: playing at?
Speaker 4: But the line to get to leave is longer than
Speaker 4: the line to get in. Margins then cleaning her cleaning products,
Speaker 4: her spray bottles and whatnot. They are great, by the way,
Speaker 4: for getting kittens who are doing the wrong thing.
Speaker 5: A water gum. Oh yeah, absolutely, going for the curtains.
Speaker 4: Have you ever sprayed? Basy? So when do you spray?
Speaker 4: Did just give them the one or did you go?
Speaker 4: Do you a couple?
Speaker 5: Usually two?
Speaker 4: I think I've got three, just to make sure on
Speaker 4: the on the run, just make sure that actually one
Speaker 4: gets you on the as you know, come back. I've
Speaker 4: read though that you're not supposed to do it where
Speaker 4: they can see that it's you doing, because then they'll
Speaker 4: resent you. And I'm like, hey, I resent there for
Speaker 4: ruining my curtains.
Speaker 5: Get used to a scratches and all your ship. I
Speaker 5: tried a perfectly nice couch because I just rip the
Speaker 5: hell out of really nice couches. Just claw marks on it.
Speaker 4: I'm like, they're not clawing at it anymore, but it's
Speaker 4: just like when they jump up on it, it's just scratches,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've got lovely new bed linen, lovely you
Speaker 5: know linen doing the cover and all that kind of stuffing.
Speaker 5: Basically you'll jump up on occasionally. But whenever I try
Speaker 5: to cut his claws. You're not doing it. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 5: then I'm not doing it.
Speaker 4: Do you if you try to cut the close? I
Speaker 4: haven't tried to do that yet. Oh yeah, I'm but
Speaker 4: I think I can have to tempt a bath soon.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure this is going to go.
Speaker 5: I'll just let him wash himself.
Speaker 4: But I look at like the white one that we
Speaker 4: that we have, Daphne, the older one, because she's white
Speaker 4: and because she was outside, because she hadn't nod bath
Speaker 4: and she's been here and she was like living under
Speaker 4: the deck and whatnot, looking at him like you aren't,
Speaker 4: you're filthy healthy, and she she's not gonna like it
Speaker 4: because I've watched some how to bath the cap videos
Speaker 4: on YouTube and I'm like, I don't think I can
Speaker 4: do this. Get to know your this, Yeah, my surgeon,
Speaker 4: when I get all the clawmucks out of my hand.
Speaker 5: But I think I think I messed up when the
Speaker 5: first time I tried to cut Bassi's claws when when
Speaker 5: he was little, and I might have cut too close
Speaker 5: to the quick. Yeah. Now he's kind of like, we're
Speaker 5: not doing that ship or you know, or this is
Speaker 5: like this is a three person. Job, I trusted you.
Speaker 5: I messed up. Messed up you talking about that spray bottle. Yeah,
Speaker 5: yeah it is.
Speaker 4: It's stadistic, but I kind of enjoy it and just
Speaker 4: like you a little fucker. But Homer is no longer Homer.
Speaker 4: He's Lance Romance Lands Romance.
Speaker 5: I know, I like that. And he has planned this
Speaker 5: nice little treasure hunter because you can say treasure hunt, yeah,
Speaker 5: scavenger or mister active misdirection. It seems excessive. But considering
Speaker 5: that you just had to go downstairs to the basement. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: but that's that's the joke. Roping in Yeah, true, that
Speaker 5: is the joke. Roping and bar And.
Speaker 4: So the skywriter says, go to the door, Marche or
Speaker 4: something like that. At the door barn showed on it, says,
Speaker 4: turn on the radio, Bill and Marty say, hey, go
Speaker 4: to the basement. March goes down there and Homer is there.
Speaker 4: He's there with a violinists he's got pants on with
Speaker 4: a crease, and he asked her to marry him in
Speaker 4: style unlike their kids, this one's going to be planned.
Speaker 4: And she says yes, and he celebrates with the Santa
Speaker 4: decoration and puts him back into the.
Speaker 5: Back into his els too.
Speaker 4: There's true more or something like that. Yeah, I do
Speaker 4: feel sorry when I put away the Christmas decoration. We've
Speaker 4: got a Santa figure that we put under the tree
Speaker 4: v and I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 5: And a half months, buddy, see you next December. But
Speaker 5: now we're.
Speaker 4: At web Lobster good name, I like it, and Marge
Speaker 4: he's trying on dresses and she says it's awful lot
Speaker 4: to pay for a dressing minikin to wear once, and
Speaker 4: I'm like, March, that is very true. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 4: lot of money you spend for one day. But she says, well,
Speaker 4: do you want to look like a fairy princess or
Speaker 4: a pig rupped in rags? And she chooses princess. Well
Speaker 4: have it your way there, yes, But then asked about
Speaker 4: the pirates to being game. We've already discussed that bit.
Speaker 4: We won't go any further home, And then they're choosing
Speaker 4: cakes and Homer wants to rocket cake, but it's for
Speaker 4: a child's birthday party, so he says, we'll have you
Speaker 4: put the cake inside it, and I forget.
Speaker 5: It'll be exciting because I won't remember. She's like, no, no, no, no, no, she's.
Speaker 4: Not being bride's silly yet, But she's starting to take control,
Speaker 4: isn't she.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and look with audio, know this is a
Speaker 5: both parties are involved in this marriage, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Homer should be in as much of a part of
Speaker 5: it as as as Marge's. At the same time, having
Speaker 5: a rocket ship cake for your weddings, I don't know
Speaker 5: about that. I'm childish. I'm too large on this one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But then she says, you can choose the topping or
Speaker 4: the icing. He chooses chocolate. She just goes, no, lemonon.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Again, she's right.
Speaker 4: When you think of lemon, what do you think of?
Speaker 4: First thing comes to your mind? Lemon slice. I'm Liz Lemon.

Speaker 5: on Twitter, but just four figure discount on Instagram and TikTok.
Speaker 5: If you haven't followed U yet, please do so. I'll
Speaker 5: put the link in the description of this podcast. That's true,
Speaker 5: the daily clips now of yours truly and the natural
Speaker 5: Home for a bunch of middle aged men. Exactly so.
Speaker 4: Yes, So basically Marge is starting to you can see
Speaker 4: she's outlets if she's starting to take control.
Speaker 1: Okay, I want white roses at the altar, red roses
Speaker 1: along the aisle, and blue roses in the centerpieces.
Speaker 5: There are no blue roses. I want to talk to Howard.
Speaker 10: Howard died ten years ago.
Speaker 6: Well did he take all the blue roses with him?
Speaker 5: My father was a lovely man.
Speaker 8: He took very good care of my mother and me.
Speaker 4: Then Marge wants every table to have two bread baskets,
Speaker 4: but one only one butter, because it starts conversation. She's
Speaker 4: not incorrect, but would it be a conversation you want
Speaker 4: people you're having at your wedding, they'd be annoyed.
Speaker 5: Right, not not better? Well, goober, have you been to
Speaker 5: like a wedding or some kind of function where he
Speaker 5: had a table with people that you don't know and
Speaker 5: you need some external thing to sort of spark a
Speaker 5: bit of combo.
Speaker 4: You just go about them cats.
Speaker 5: Well you do do that, but I mean sometimes it's
Speaker 5: nice to be bonding of it. Yeah, a perceived mistake
Speaker 5: or oversight. What it was like incredibly got all his
Speaker 5: bread and no butter, I know, right, no, but everything
Speaker 5: else is so good. What ship wedding and it gets
Speaker 5: the ball rolling from there.
Speaker 4: So you just want to you want to start the conversation. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's no dummy. She is not indeed, that's right. But
Speaker 4: Homer starts questioning, like we really need all this, and
Speaker 4: she just breaks and puts him down, makes him feel
Speaker 4: like he's just not not worthy. But it's just he's
Speaker 4: not important right now, He's not he's a piece.
Speaker 5: He's not valid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Marge's annoyed that Homer said that Lenny and Carl
Speaker 4: can come with their dates because they're not even coming
Speaker 4: to the wedding. What do you mean because there ares
Speaker 4: v peoples a day late. Now I'm going, oh shit,
Speaker 4: oh yes, yes, now you're being a bit of a
Speaker 4: bride zilla and he calls it the bride Zilly.
Speaker 5: That's the thing I had written down, Oh, Marge going bridezilla.
Speaker 5: And then within about five seconds that's that's hey, I
Speaker 5: just said that.
Speaker 4: It's almost like that's the point of the story. And
Speaker 4: then she calls him king wrong. I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: this I work with. And then Maggie watches them argue
Speaker 4: in characters.
Speaker 5: And characters King Kong, and I.
Speaker 4: Just think I liked this because are in front of
Speaker 4: your kids. He shouldn't do it right if possible. And
Speaker 4: Nicol and I we don't argue very much anyway, got
Speaker 4: might bigger over a few things, but once we didn't
Speaker 4: in front of Alliott, and it bothered him because he'd
Speaker 4: never seen us not agree about something. And it's made
Speaker 4: me realize, oh shit, kids, you need to be the rock.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you need to be united front. Yeah. Oh absolutely,
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, you realize you've got mum and dad,
Speaker 5: but it's like it's also mum and dad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're going to be a unit, you need
Speaker 4: to be a unit.
Speaker 5: Sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But then it's time for the wedding at the
Speaker 4: Swell Air Hotel. As we're saying Simpson's affairs in the
Speaker 4: ballroom A and could be extra marital affairs in room
Speaker 4: four three two. Homer is sad there was in his
Speaker 4: room by himself, didn't have any groovesmn, He's just there
Speaker 4: by himself, and he says, what I do. March is
Speaker 4: mad at me? And what will she be like after
Speaker 4: I get after we get married. I mean, you've been
Speaker 4: married to it for thirty years, mate. But the thing
Speaker 4: is I, for the sake of the story, this worked. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Home is fully justified to be worried and concerned.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: I guess he's never I guess he's never seen this
Speaker 4: side of March before because she's never had the chance
Speaker 4: to have the wedding she's always wanted.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing it must have no aspects of this personality
Speaker 5: or the side of Marge must have come up during
Speaker 5: the previous twenty season. But yeah, maybe not.
Speaker 4: They had a rape joke. Remember they had a rape
Speaker 4: joke on The Simpsons when Marge was working out and
Speaker 4: Homer she didn't want to sleep with her. She was like, no,
Speaker 4: we're going to do it.
Speaker 5: The sipset a rape joke. We just got demanitate.
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. But then Marge, she's getting ready, she wants
Speaker 4: to look at herself in the mirror. She has a
Speaker 4: pimp bullsh she makes the people disappeared.
Speaker 5: Where did we see in which episode we see a
Speaker 5: similar joke recently? And then involved home? It was home?
Speaker 4: You got something on his next through stress or something,
Speaker 4: and he pushed it back in.
Speaker 5: Yes. Yeah, he basically healed himself through sheer force and
Speaker 5: was like, I can't have this happening right now. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: same thing.
Speaker 4: Then cue everyone que this queue that released the groom,
Speaker 4: not even like released the Marge's in full control of
Speaker 4: this wedding and he's not there now there are eleven
Speaker 4: seconds behind. She goes to see him and braid him,
Speaker 4: but he's not in the room anymore, and immediately she
Speaker 4: just breaks down cries.
Speaker 5: Magge.
Speaker 4: Hears it on the walkie talkie, so she gets the
Speaker 4: band who play when the Sands go marching in instead them, Cookie,
Speaker 4: Kwan and Mandula are trying to comfort March and it's
Speaker 4: just nothing's working in Gary's magic moments. No refund, so
Speaker 4: he's gonna be filming him other way, and Homer wakes
Speaker 4: up chained up, like a bicycle, as you said, like
Speaker 4: a common bicycle, a common bicycle. But then this is
Speaker 4: where the Saw parody begins. And I actually, as we
Speaker 4: were saying, thought I did a really good job. I've
Speaker 4: taken taking the mickey but parody saw, but using it
Speaker 4: in a way that wasn't really horror.
Speaker 5: That's true. Yeah, yeah, I mean you're right, and this
Speaker 5: would have been It would have fit very snugly into
Speaker 5: a Treehouse of Horror episode. The whole I mean, the
Speaker 5: Saw franchise or the Saw concept is one that kind
Speaker 5: of lends itself to easy parody.
Speaker 4: And I think Patty and Summer would have made a
Speaker 4: good jigsaw in tres horror segment row.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, but no, as I said before, I
Speaker 5: think they folded the whole Saw thing, the whole not
Speaker 5: necessarious escape room, but you know, torture room aspect into it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: very very smoothly.
Speaker 2: What just chained up like a common bicycle. Who would
Speaker 2: do this to me? It would have to be someone
Speaker 2: who could afford a chain.
Speaker 5: You're going to be here a while, but I have
Speaker 5: to marry Marge. As of now, your pathetic little life
Speaker 5: means nothing.
Speaker 2: Just so you know, you're making a pretty bad first impression.
Speaker 4: And this is where Marge she is saying that she's
Speaker 4: blaming herself, saying, it's all my fault.
Speaker 5: Home.
Speaker 4: I wanted to use cocktail hot dogs. I want to
Speaker 4: spring rolls. They taste like nothing. I'm going I like
Speaker 4: spring rolls, but I do need to leather that shit
Speaker 4: in like soy sauces.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you need to have your dipping sauce for it.
Speaker 4: Just like pastry, isn't it essentially for the moment. That's
Speaker 4: true unless you go to there's a place called long
Speaker 4: Time Geelong. You go to a proper type place. They
Speaker 4: do the way mummy used to make.
Speaker 5: Them spring Whose mummy you're talking about that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but just not the not the ones out of
Speaker 4: the freezer and you wool worse or what?
Speaker 5: No? No, no, they are very very bland, She says you.
Speaker 4: I tried to go too serious and homer less me
Speaker 4: as a result in this, says he doesn't feel like daddy.
Speaker 4: He would never leave it. I think an open bar
Speaker 4: for chicken wings or something like that. Plus he loves this,
Speaker 4: and YadA yad yadaya. Then they find the key chain
Speaker 4: that has s B and I said, what could this be.
Speaker 4: It's like a whould mister Burns kind of thing with
Speaker 4: the M and the B and I think it's immediately
Speaker 4: side show Bob, which would be a good it's a
Speaker 4: natural guest conclusion that comes to. Yeah. And but this
Speaker 4: is the whole back to the Future parody.
Speaker 5: They get married, I'll never be borne.
Speaker 4: Then we have wise Guy delivering some wedding registry items
Speaker 4: to Miss Simpson. Now he'd love to chat, but the
Speaker 4: company interesting nuance company forbids chit chat, and Homer is
Speaker 4: given the key to unlock the chain, but unfortunately in
Speaker 4: the middle of a lollipop that is made out of
Speaker 4: hot sauce.
Speaker 5: Well initially a lollipop easily. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Then the kids find Bob. They see him through the
Speaker 4: window and looks like he's being side showed.
Speaker 5: Bob.
Speaker 4: He's actually making a bust of Krusty. Him and Crusty
Speaker 4: just hanging out. They're just hanging out Krusty and they've
Speaker 4: got a history.
Speaker 5: By guns and by guns apparently.
Speaker 8: But did you.
Speaker 1: Take any breaks?
Speaker 8: Yesterday?
Speaker 5: We nap our dad. Impossible.
Speaker 6: I was with Bob the whole day. Then we watched
Speaker 6: the deluxe DVD of the House of Sand and Fog
Speaker 6: good night. We slept in the same bed for warmth.
Speaker 6: Then we woke up and a little niche watched The
Speaker 6: House of Sand and Fog again with commentary.
Speaker 5: The director was an ass.
Speaker 4: I liked the idea of watching the movie and then
Speaker 4: watching again with commentary. Oh yeah, well, however did you
Speaker 4: do the help? Did you watch a film that you
Speaker 4: just purchase and then go back to the start straight
Speaker 4: away and watch it with commentary, or did you buy
Speaker 4: films you've seen them so many times you watch commentary first.
Speaker 5: But it's it's a bit of everything. Really. Yeah. Sometimes
Speaker 5: we're like, oh, this has got the commentary with so
Speaker 5: and someone. Yeah, that's the first thing you put on.
Speaker 5: And there are certain things, was like, I really should
Speaker 5: watch this with the commentary, Like, you know, I haven't
Speaker 5: seen It's been like twenty five years since all the
Speaker 5: Lord of the Rings movies came out, and I've got,
Speaker 5: of course, got the deluxe sets the I've got all
Speaker 5: the commentary of them because they are loaded. It's like
Speaker 5: forty commentaries, very much so, and like, okay, do I
Speaker 5: have another three hours this time with the Hobbits? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Maybe no, there's still something I haven't saying but no, absolutely,
Speaker 5: there's something that I'm just like, oh, commentary versus I'm
Speaker 5: doing now.
Speaker 4: He listed three people here that it could have been.
Speaker 4: Could be Scott Bo, the Sultan of Brunei.
Speaker 5: Yes, and uh, well, don't ask to be pronounced it,
Speaker 5: but it's like the Polish Secret Police or something. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm not going to pronounce it, but you get the picture.
Speaker 5: Polish friends out there, please let us know what the
Speaker 5: correct pronunciation is.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll play Bob doing it right now.
Speaker 5: Nice of you to think of me.
Speaker 10: However, SB could be anyone, Scott Bo, the Sultan of Brunei, the.
Speaker 5: Former Polish Secret Police, the Schwartz by Bestridspa And there
Speaker 5: we go.
Speaker 4: That's how you say it. Well, that's Kelsey Cromenos how
Speaker 4: to say it.
Speaker 5: And that's what I was saying in my head. Yeah,
Speaker 5: just you know, I had a little trouble getting it out.
Speaker 4: But very many times are you saying things in your
Speaker 4: in your head are sounding good when it comes out?
Speaker 4: You go, that's not what my brain was supposed to do.
Speaker 5: That's pretty much every episode of this podcast.

Speaker 4: pipes with the pipes, Oh yeah, it takes me. I
Speaker 4: saw a recent video. It might be an old video, right,

Speaker 4: was the DVD screensaver and guys were the TV and
Speaker 4: she was a little DVD and she was trying to
Speaker 4: get into the corner.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then the crowds like watching hits the corner.

Speaker 4: a crowd watching It's like in a bar or something
Speaker 4: and something on the TV and then the crowd goes
Speaker 4: ship there's one of the DVD hitting the corner back on.

Speaker 5: I love that one so good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just how many times did I sit there, just
Speaker 4: watching that thing, going, it's going to hit eventually, eventually,
Speaker 4: because I always sort of never would, but sometimes it
Speaker 4: did hit right in the corner.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Good times.
Speaker 4: Kids are now listening, going, I have no idea what
Speaker 4: a screensaver is and what you're talking about.

Speaker 4: let him go till March's dumped Homer for good. They
Speaker 4: want to have some fun with him with some fire ants.
Speaker 4: He's like, that doesn't sound like fun. Oh you mean sarcastic.
Speaker 4: They make another sarcastic joke, and they really starting to
Speaker 4: feel bad about what they're doing here. This is where

Speaker 4: always thought that I never saw the Quickie Matter as
Speaker 4: a franchise. I always saw the Quickie Matter as just
Speaker 4: a store that who opened. I know it's meant to
Speaker 4: be seven to eleven, But I never saw the Quickie
Speaker 4: Mat as, oh, there's a Quickie mart In. But I
Speaker 4: think there is a Quickie mart In shabby.
Speaker 5: Field think so, Yeah. No, I always view it as
Speaker 5: like franchise. Yeah he's a franchise.
Speaker 4: I guess he is the franchise because he goes to
Speaker 4: the Quickie My headquarters, doesn't he?

Speaker 4: around his ankle. He says that he was just fall
Speaker 4: off Button's one yeah, but two sobbing trolls threw him
Speaker 4: out of a van onto the front. Law and Marge
Speaker 4: has missed his nonsense, and Patty and somewhere cut to them.
Speaker 4: They're throwing away all their evidence so they can't can't
Speaker 4: get back to them, but Bart and Lisa are listening
Speaker 4: at the door now over here, and they say, well,
Speaker 4: there's only one thing you can do to fix this
Speaker 4: unless we tell other Lott'll tell mom and dad. We'll
Speaker 4: make you some cookies. No, no, we'll have cookies later.
Speaker 4: It turns out what they want is for them to
Speaker 4: make the part.
Speaker 5: Make the wedding for and groll the wedding essentially because
Speaker 5: Margin Homer. They officially marry at the registry. I guess
Speaker 5: whatever it is something basic, and she says, you don't
Speaker 5: need to have a fancy wedding when you're marrying the
Speaker 5: man that you love. And then they go outside and
Speaker 5: cute her getting exactly everything she wanted when it comes
Speaker 5: to a wedding. Everyone's out there nice as I sculpture.
Speaker 5: Everyone's having a good time. Patty and someone empty their
Speaker 5: four o one ks in order to make this happen,
Speaker 5: and Home even got his rocket cake. He did. Yeah.
Speaker 4: They even went out through Homer as well, and Margin
Speaker 4: gonto Blue Rose Blue Rose as well due to frantic
Speaker 4: genetic engineering. Know you're a plant now and they pan
Speaker 4: out and that is the end of the episode. Happy
Speaker 4: Fourth Wedding says on the blimp, and yeah, a fine episode.
Speaker 4: It is not a I wouldn't call this a funny episode.
Speaker 4: It has funny moments, this isn't laugh out loud funny.
Speaker 4: But as we'll say with Springfield Connection, you don't have
Speaker 4: to always necessarily be funny, funny, funny, funny funny, as
Speaker 4: long as they're a good emotional story there. Sure, I
Speaker 4: think there was a solid story here that was driven
Speaker 4: by emotion with enough laugh for me to go this
Speaker 4: was a good episode, I think so.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was not going with very good expectations based
Speaker 4: on the blurb. Maybe that helped.
Speaker 5: I don't know that. I think that's definitely the case.
Speaker 5: You walk in thinking, oh my god, more of the same,
Speaker 5: and it turns out to me, no, no, you threw
Speaker 5: a few curve balls in there, and we appreciated it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was good. It was just it wasn't Homer
Speaker 4: screwing up this time. No, they didn't get a divorce
Speaker 4: because Homer screwed up. It was something else happened, and
Speaker 4: Homer was doing all he can to make sure Marge
Speaker 4: got everything that she wanted right to the end. And
Speaker 4: you're waiting for you Hova.
Speaker 5: To screw up. He never did.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's generally you know, he's generally a wife
Speaker 5: guy our boys. So he did all right this time around.
Speaker 5: Now a little bit of fun fact from pals at Wikipedia.
Speaker 5: Let me just read this out the beatum. The June
Speaker 5: twenty eight to two thousand and nine rerun of the
Speaker 5: episode featured a brief alternate opening following the death of
Speaker 5: Michael Jackson three days prior. On June twenty five, the
Speaker 5: music video for Do the Bartman was shown, followed by
Speaker 5: a title card stating in memory of Michael Jackson, showing
Speaker 5: a still of his appearance as Leon Kompowski, the big
Speaker 5: bald mental patient who was put in the Insane Asylum
Speaker 5: for believing he really was Michael Jackson.
Speaker 4: He no longer exists.
Speaker 5: He's been a memory home from the episode Stark Raving Dad,
Speaker 5: which of course does not exist. But anyway, that's something
Speaker 5: that we thought that you should know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, back when Michael Jackson or Lincoln Paski was still alive,
Speaker 4: it still existence.
Speaker 5: Supposed to just a figment of everyone's imagination. Yeah, what
Speaker 5: do we learn bomb.
Speaker 4: What did you learn from the episode? Mister Davis?
Speaker 5: What did I learn that through sheer force of will.
Speaker 5: I can make a pimple just disappear back into my skin,
Speaker 5: can you? No? I never, I just tend to get
Speaker 5: more popping out.
Speaker 4: I learned that Michigan City is the home of our
Speaker 4: spiritual headquarters, the world Spiritual Headquarters.

Speaker 5: Oh about that? How about that?
Speaker 4: Indeed, by the way, guys, if you think I've been
Speaker 4: a little bit quite in the Patreon group for last
Speaker 4: couple of last week or so. Here's why. So we
Speaker 4: finally got our page back. You know, I've mentioned on
Speaker 4: the show here that the page got basically not suspended,
Speaker 4: but just they killed the page. They killed the organic reach.
Speaker 4: They said that we were I put up a post.
Speaker 4: It was a meme of Ralph Wigham, and they deemed
Speaker 4: it as child's sexual exploitation. That was what the algorithm
Speaker 4: deemed it as. And because it was such a heinous
Speaker 4: crime to commit, they just demonetized and just whenever I
Speaker 4: put a post up it reached like fifty people, and
Speaker 4: we have like three hundred and twenty thousand followers. So
Speaker 4: they ruined the page. And then one day they went,
Speaker 4: my bad.
Speaker 5: Have you paged back?
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh great, finally whatever, not getting
Speaker 4: any money back, but the pages back twelve hours later.
Speaker 4: I was once an admin of a page called Simpsons
Speaker 4: Quotes that nobody knows anymore gets any more or something.
Speaker 4: For some reason, that page got suspended, it got taken down,
Speaker 4: and because I was still an admin of that page,
Speaker 4: I now can't post in groups or on pages. So
Speaker 4: I've got the page back, but I can't post anything.
Speaker 4: I can't post in the group. I can't do anything.
Speaker 4: So thankfully Nikola is an admin of the fort figure
Speaker 4: deescamp page. I'm like logging into her phone and posting
Speaker 4: stuff when i can, but man, man, it just hates me.
Speaker 5: Nothing goes right for me. The algorithm has just taken over, honestly.
Speaker 4: So that is why I've been posting much in the
Speaker 4: group because I'm not allowed to until June. I think
Speaker 4: it's eleventh or something whatever soon, And I'm just lazy
Speaker 4: and you're just lazy. Yes, but thank you to everyone
