Having a very 62 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.439 nice Christmas lunch with the Luis's family on Sunday the 63 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.719 twenty second.

But that's because it started like raining a 77 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.479 monsoon on Christmas Day. 78 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.719 Yeah, it's been really wark, so I've got plenty of 79 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.599 Christmas ugly sweaters and normally people go it's warm and 80 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.800 a shoga, yeah, but it's usually overcast enough to be 81 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.360 able to wor a jumper.

Yeah, Well, the kids, they seem to 95 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.600 be getting up early and earlier each Christmas. I feel 96 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.160 they're gonna be up at like six this year. Because 97 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.160 my parents go, what are we doing for Christmas Morning? 98 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.959 I said, what the hell? I cart just fell off 99 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.279 the wall. I thought the bird flying. I was like, 100 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.199 what the hell? I thought it was the biggest moth 101 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:56.600 I've ever seen, like roof's leaking, muster flying around Christmas 102 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.199 mirror rebuilding the ship. But so my parents go, so 103 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.560 we times Christmas morning? I said, like, kids probably get 104 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.240 up like six six thirty. They said, I'd make them 105 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:04.800 wait till like seven seven thirty. I'm like, kids ain't 106 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.759 gonna be waiting. If you want to see them opening presents, 107 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:07.279 you get here. 108 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:12.800 Then making small children wait on Christmas morning? It was 109 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.360 an ebony Scrooge and who's missus degle Degal? 110 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:22.680 Yeah, what is it? Bomb? Her theme's awesome, but it's 111 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.920 going to be a very early Christmas morning. I think here, 112 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.480 kid's going to go crazy. We've got alliott cricket bat 113 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.600 like a wooden cricket bat, a pop a cricket bat, 114 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.519 a cricket helmet is a theme here, cricket pants, cricket 115 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:43.399 test shirt, cricket balls. It's clearly into swimming from the 116 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:49.959 big Lebaska. Clearly you're not a golfer. And Holly has 117 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.160 just got her various barbie things and makeups. Yeah, we've 118 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.839 got a new bike, her first proper bike for training wheels. Yeah, 119 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.439 so that's that's exciting. She's like, well, she doesn't She 120 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.120 kept saying short a bike til Sands and she's like, 121 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.040 I didn't bring me one. I've been I'm on the 122 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:05.759 bad list. I was like, why are the badge goes? 123 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:06.959 I don't go to bed early. Like, well, there's one 124 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.920 way to fix that. Holly go to bed early and 125 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.639 go to sleep because she is a nightmare at bedtime. So, 126 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.920 because we've got the double bed night out now, So 127 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.800 we ask Eliot. He says she's a nightmare because they 128 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.480 sleep in the same double bed now, because we've got 129 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.800 a bunk bed double bed down the bottom. And ever 130 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.160 since then, Holly. She just pesters him and she can't 131 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.079 go to sleep and she kicks him. And so wait, 132 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.279 she got the lower they're both on the bottom. 133 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.040 Oh okay, yeah, but was it originally designed to be 134 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.720 like someone's up top, someone's down there? 135 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:36.920 Not until Ali. It's a bit older because he sometimes 136 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.759 sits up in his sleep and he's sort of he's awake, 137 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.319 but he's not awake. You don't want to crack the 138 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.120 ceiling or exactly yeah, yeah, or fourth the edge. 139 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.560 I suppose that's also also potentially a problem. One of 140 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.199 these people does not have children. 141 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:51.959 Speaking of cricket, though, it took Ali to the cricket 142 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.600 last night in Geelong why to torturing. Oh, that's right. 143 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.720 He likes cricket, So I'm like everybody else, and I 144 00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.920 feel like even someone who doesn't like cricket would enjoy 145 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.360 the Big Bash live. That's because it's quick. It's quick, 146 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.439 so it's twenty overs. It's called Big Bash because you 147 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.000 have to just bash it. So every boll that's trying 148 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.480 to hit a six and a four, if you if you. 149 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.680 Want to get runs, yeah, you better bash it. Bash it, yeah, 150 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.120 and you better bash it. You most bashed Big Lee 151 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:16.720 big ly bashing. 152 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.160 Bash to the big No, no, we won't talk about 153 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.079 political stuff, okay, but so like every time they hit 154 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.000 a four or six, fireworks are going off and there's 155 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.079 flames and shiit. That sounds a little busy, but but 156 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.560 sounds also like fun. It's youngsters, it's insane. It's really 157 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:35.920 good though. 158 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.879 See I'm old enough to remember back in the nineteen 159 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.839 ship and when One Day Cricket was introduced and World 160 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.360 Series Cricket and all that, even with someone like me 161 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.000 who was not interested, like, oh so it's it's quick, 162 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:47.759 it's one and done. 163 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.680 And they're wearing colors and they were it's colorful. 164 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.079 I can actually tell which team is which, as opposed 165 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.000 to it's just a bunch of white suits. 166 00:07:55.079 --> 00:08:02.399 Yeah. Days, I'm not making players five days in events? 167 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:03.720 What's going I'm going to make a meme with someone 168 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.800 talking about a Test match, but it's home as five dollars, 169 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.079 get out of here. You're very good at the memes. 170 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.439 You did a very good raygun meme last night. Was 171 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.480 I reshare? Someone said that to me, Yeah, no worry, bet, 172 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:15.199 but it was good. 173 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:16.519 It was a good one. It was a good one. 174 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.240 And well I'm glad Elliott had a good time at 175 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:18.600 the Big Back. 176 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.120 He'd loved it. He got to meet his favorite player 177 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:21.759 before the game and started. He was walking around and 178 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.160 I said, his name is Jake Fraser McGirk is his favorite. 179 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.759 He's he's my favorite player based on that name. So 180 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.680 he's twenty one and you see it was cricket now, right, 181 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.799 So I know you don't care about cricket.

Admittedly it was really 492 00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:38.519 heavy rain and we did get really really so, so 493 00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:40.119 I can't understand why she'd be a bit pissed off. 494 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.960 You go home and everybody was all slippery.

But I've realized. I went 506 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.039 because we made hard drives for Nicholas, because Nicola posted 507 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:18.799 a big box over to England for Christmas this year. 508 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.880 I made a hard drive of basically every photo from 509 00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:23.720 the kids onwards.

Yeah, 513 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.640 and tradition is not necessarily Sunday night Rol absolute legend, 514 00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.720 but also love Louise, absolute legend.

I remember 670 00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:37.400 you were saying to me, when it comes to movie 671 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.160 shirts or whatnot, you like having things that are from 672 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.160 a film, so for example, like a food franchise or something. 673 00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:47.039 But everyone's looking for clothes for you. I'm like, I 674 00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.079 would like this, but I'm always most people go, I 675 00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:50.440 don't want to buy a shirt for somebody in case 676 00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.839 I don't like this shirt.

I'm like, this isn't 679 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:04.759 from Country Road, and the answer is not. But if 680 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:06.680 someone brought you a themed shirt, do you think you 681 00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.200 would wear it if it was the right one, If 682 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:13.079 it was the right one, certainly? I mean, is there 683 00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.039 a franchise or anything from a movie that you always 684 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:16.960 wish there was a shirt of Oh. 685 00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:21.759 That's a really good point, because I'm gonna I'm gonna 686 00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:23.720 name check some people. These are not friends of the Pod, 687 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:26.200 although I become friend of the pod last Exit to Nowhere. 688 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:27.240 I'm sure I mentioned. 689 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.839 This this site before. They're the sort of the first 690 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.200 ones to really do that thing that I'm talking about 691 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:34.920 where it's like I just had vibes of like a 692 00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:36.799 rotten dot com. That's what I thought Last Exit to 693 00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:38.440 know it. It sounds like, don't go here. 694 00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:42.599 Yeah, it sounds sketchy and wrong. Yeah, but no, it's 695 00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:44.559 it's a legit good site. And I've got so many 696 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:47.440 of the t shirts because they're good quality shirts. 697 00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:49.160 I think this is a good quality shirt is red 698 00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:50.759 one had it when you buy it and the shirts 699 00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:54.039 are kind of stiff. Oh yeah, yeah, you're not flexible. Yeah. 700 00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.880 One of the first shirts I bought from Last Exit 701 00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.960 was it's paper street Soap come from fight Club. 702 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:02.359 I think you might have mentioned that. 703 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:04.480 I probably wore it once and I think I got 704 00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:06.240 it when I was a little huskier. So it's a 705 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.480 I've got a big ass one and sometimes it's like 706 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.440 sometimes it's fits just red and sometimes like this is 707 00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:12.200 floating on me. 708 00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.400 It's one of those ones that you can put it 709 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:14.759 on and put a jacket over the top. That's a 710 00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.440 good point at least you can see the logo still. 711 00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:18.119 I think when I was a little bit leaner, I 712 00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.319 was like, I really late my fake club T shirt 713 00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:23.359 because the shirts that I'm itchy and cool, but you know, 714 00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:25.599 this one's really floating on me.

She works two days and the next 798 00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.400 fortnight now, I've been getting lots of questions lately, Nicola 799 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.440 on our listeners and our patrons and how many supporters 800 00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:35.800 here at four finger Discount. I've been asking where the 801 00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:38.559 hell is the One About Friends. So basically what's happened 802 00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:41.039 is we've recorded a couple episodes in the can, but 803 00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:43.360 we've decided we're going to relaunch it in the new year. 804 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.239 Give us a couple of weeks off so we can 805 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:46.960 kick off with a bang.

But now 813 00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:06.000 Nichola's got on top of things, on the top of things, 814 00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:08.800 We're all on the top of things, kids are at school, organized, 815 00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:11.559 got our schedules going.

I've got all day. 896 00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:06.760 Yeah, she hustled the kids out of the house at 897 00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:08.880 aam sharp but no though, to be fair, that was nice. 898 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:11.599 They had the kids for us a little impromptu sleepover. 899 00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:15.199 We did Christmas Lights last night, although Holly made it 900 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.239 about three houses in before she was snoring. 901 00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:18.920 True to form, she always falls asleep in the first 902 00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:20.000 ten minutes one hundred percent. 903 00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:20.360 You know. 904 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:21.960 Well, the thing is because you sort of you go 905 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.639 a bit late to day, so it's Hobart caught to 906 00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:25.840 wait I think before we left. But then the weather 907 00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:26.920 was so bad, wasn't it. 908 00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.199 Well it's weird because people listening in America and in 909 00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:31.159 England are going, what are you talking about? In Australia 910 00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:33.960 summer right now? Daylight savings, which means it literally doesn't 911 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:37.199 get dark dark till between nine nine thirty at least. Yeah. Yeah, 912 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.360 it's been hot. Onto Christmas Day it's gonna be thirty 913 00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:42.360 five and then we're taking Elliott and Holly. My parents 914 00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.000 are coming, much of their chagrin apparently to the Boxing 915 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.760 Day test between Australia and India. It's going to be 916 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:50.559 forty degrees one hundred thousand people at the MCG, so. 917 00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:52.880 It's like forty in the air, and then it's actually 918 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:55.079 like forty six in the crowds because of all the bodies. 919 00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.400 What's because you guys do celsius in England too? 920 00:40:57.480 --> 00:40:57.599 Right? 921 00:40:57.639 --> 00:40:59.679 Yes, we did. What's fahrenheit for our American still have 922 00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:00.679 a look I lookt up here. 923 00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:02.719 One hundred degrees I think is when they say it's hot. 924 00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:04.159 Right. Yeah, we didn't tell you what you want to 925 00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:05.079 By the way, what did you want? 926 00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:06.119 I skirted that one tonight. 927 00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:06.440 Yeah. 928 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:09.079 Well I've shared a few things with you. I wanted 929 00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:13.000 some I wanted some more exercise matts. I wanted some 930 00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.920 more weights, heavier weights. I'm getting strong. 931 00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:18.000 Well it's two days before Christmash. I haven't got these 932 00:41:18.039 --> 00:41:20.880 things by now. I'm in trouble, all right. Forty degrees 933 00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:24.679 celsius to fahrenheit is one hundred and four Wow, I alsough. 934 00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:26.400 It was weird because when the sound like kids the 935 00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:28.440 movie that you know, I Love You always goes it's 936 00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.559 one hundred and fifty degrees outside, and I always thought 937 00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:34.400 as a kid, and the kid's exaggerating degrees, that's so 938 00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.440 fahrenheit to celsius. I still think it's exaggerated because that's 939 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:39.840 sixty five degrees celsias something quite think, No it ever 940 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:40.360 got to that. 941 00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:42.360 I don't think so either. What is one hundred degrees 942 00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:43.480 fahrenheit in celsius? 943 00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:47.000 Because that's when one hundred fahrenheit that's when what well. 944 00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:48.679 That's when people in friends complain it's hot. 945 00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:51.159 So thirty seven that it's pretty well, yeah, pretty hip. Yeah, 946 00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:53.119 So I was going to ask you. So it was 947 00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:55.719 weights It was Jim Matt as you can tell, Nicholas 948 00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:56.960 getting fit at the moment. 949 00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:00.719 It was I wanted some those shoes, the ones with 950 00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:03.679 the arch support. I actually wanted some new glasses, and 951 00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:05.320 Brindy said, no, you can do that yourself. 952 00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:09.159 I'm not gonna buy. I'm happy to put towards something. 953 00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:11.239 I'm not going to buy glasses because that's that's the 954 00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:12.840 thing that you're gonna wear every day. I don't want 955 00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:13.760 so on buying. No, I know. 956 00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.079 But my point is, like the thing is I would 957 00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:17.599 have gone with you, like we could have gone and 958 00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:19.840 you could have financially contributed. When I say you, I 959 00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.519 mean our bank money. No, our bank account would have 960 00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:24.679 paid for our gifts like that's how it work. That's 961 00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:26.199 why I thought, oh, well, you know, there's not a 962 00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:29.679 lot that I want, so I thought that would be 963 00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:32.360 something useful that I could also get for Christmas. 964 00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:35.360 But anyway, that's fine. I'm happy before we wrap up 965 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:36.719 because we haven't got much time here in the card 966 00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:38.039 and you got to mop the floors, and now I've 967 00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:39.840 got a rap presence and Elliot's still singing songs to 968 00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:43.320 himself out there keeping quiet. Favorite Christmas movie, stop your head. 969 00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:47.840 Oh well, my mind went to jingle yeah, jingle all 970 00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:50.159 the way because we just watched it. It was just on, 971 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:52.920 and I realized there's probably a couple that I haven't 972 00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:54.880 I haven't seen, like Deck the Halls was just up. 973 00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:57.840 I don't know that I've actually ever seen that. No, 974 00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:00.480 I've watched I've watched that one many many, many moons ago. 975 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.199 But I absolutely love Love Love Actually, and so my 976 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.760 Christmas tradition is having a Bailey's on Christmas Eve and 977 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:10.119 watching Love Actually and rapping presents. So that is what 978 00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:12.440 tomorrow night will consist of, although we do need to 979 00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:15.000 start some tonight because every Christmas Eve if we do 980 00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:18.679 this and Brendan after about midnight and Brandon, I'm just 981 00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:21.760 too seriously, Like you know, I start at like eight 982 00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:23.719 thirty and I've had a couple of baileies and it's midnight, 983 00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:24.079 and I just. 984 00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:26.239 Spent wonder why I'm Nigglie in the morning. 985 00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:27.760 I know, and then he's up till stupid o'clock. But 986 00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:29.360 you know he is Santa, so try. 987 00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:33.320 To be more. Sorry, spoiler, come on, Nicholas, Elliet's listening. 988 00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:35.480 What are you talking about? Good one, mam, No, he's 989 00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:38.480 not listening. We've been talking about underrated I say underrated 990 00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:41.320 Christmas specials on here. So we've been talking about Christmas 991 00:43:41.320 --> 00:43:44.039 theme episodes of shows that we like and ones that 992 00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:45.360 you may not be aware of. And I mentioned the 993 00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:47.760 hand or one to Guy and I was going to 994 00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:49.360 mention one to Mitch. It was called it's called Oi 995 00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:51.719 to the World. It's the Nanny Christmas Special. Want to 996 00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:52.960 throw that one out there now before I run out 997 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:54.599 of time. OI to the World. I think it's from 998 00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:57.239 season three. It's really weird because even if you don't 999 00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:59.599 like The Nanny, I love the fact that the balls 1000 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:00.960 to do this. It is not a live actual and 1001 00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:04.679 it's completely animated. Sorry, The Nanny. The Nanny season three. 1002 00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:06.920 The Christmas episode is called Oi to the World because 1003 00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:11.679 because she's Jewish, right and she the whole show is animated. 1004 00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:14.800 It's an animated Nanny Christmas special. I'm pretty sure we 1005 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:17.119 skipped it because like is anime not watching it. But 1006 00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:18.960 it's really fun and there's no laugh track. It just 1007 00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:20.719 feels like you're watching a proper Christmas special, but it's 1008 00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:22.920 any characters. They go to the North Pole and the 1009 00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:25.159 villain is CC. She's up there and yeah, it's good, 1010 00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:27.760 like kid family or not really, of course it is. 1011 00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:28.719 Yeah, it's good. 1012 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.360 Yeah, So Oi to the World. 1013 00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:32.920 Over breakfast tomorrow morning, kids. Let's put this on. 1014 00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:34.960 Which Christen's episode do you like the most? Is that 1015 00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:38.719 the one with the holiday armadillo? No, I really like it. 1016 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:40.440 I like that scene. It stands out to me. It's 1017 00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:41.239 a memorable scene. 1018 00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:44.360 No, just the armadillo is a bit like I think 1019 00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:46.119 it's one of those it was just on all the time. 1020 00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:47.039 It's a bit overrated. 1021 00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:49.039 But so what is your christ favorite Christmas episode? Then? 1022 00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:49.840 Are there many? 1023 00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:51.280 There's a few, you know, there's a few. 1024 00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:51.639 I don't. 1025 00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:53.599 I think they pretty much did one every year, but 1026 00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:55.519 it wasn't necessarily centered around with Christmas Day. 1027 00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:57.880 The first one wasn't any it was it was a 1028 00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:00.000 broad Christmas, but it wasn't really Christmas episode. Is that right? 1029 00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:01.199 Like? 1030 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:03.880 Also has a definitive ranking of Friends Christo Maybe was 1031 00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:06.800 that a podcast about that? My favorite Friends Christmas episode? 1032 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:08.360 I think we've talked about it before, but go on 1033 00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:09.920 real off the top five and I'll give. 1034 00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:15.000 Him as a step forward season forward, Ross freaking out 1035 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.840 because Mona wants to do a joint Christmas card. We 1036 00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:21.159 have the one with all the candy Ross buying. Phoebe's 1037 00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:22.800 the bike she never had as a kid is in that, 1038 00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:27.320 but it's all about Monica. Monica does have a treat 1039 00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:29.079 that's not really Christmas episode, the one with the Christmas 1040 00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:29.599 in Tulsa. 1041 00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:31.840 Yeah, that's the one that came to mind, So that 1042 00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:35.440 one of Christmas in Tulsa where Chandler essentially quits his 1043 00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:37.840 job to come home because he's just like it's a 1044 00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:40.840 great one. Yeah, yeah, missing out on life basically for 1045 00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:44.440 this place. But also one of the early years I 1046 00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:46.760 think it might even be season is it? 1047 00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:47.039 No? 1048 00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.119 Maybe season two? Phoebe goes looking for a dad and 1049 00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.119 she can't go in, and so they sit outside in. 1050 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:53.760 The taxi for theah. 1051 00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:55.599 By the time they get home, it's Christmas Day. 1052 00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:58.000 Phoe's dad. That's number one here, that's the one we reviewed. 1053 00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:01.639 Struck midnight obviously Christmas Day, but they brought things from 1054 00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:04.199 the petrol station.

But friend of the pot, Charlie Lawson, 1120 00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:30.880 legitimate friend of the pod, Charlie Lawson. 1121 00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:32.679 He came on to review the Last Temptation of Home 1122 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:36.280 I BELI did.

We did one not long ago 1125 00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:45.079 where we talked about underrated or slightly left of sender 1126 00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:47.280 Christmas movies. I'm happy to sort of talk about one 1127 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:49.920 of those that I talked about on that podcast on 1128 00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.159 this podcast because I'm lazy and I don't want to 1129 00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:54.679 think too much. Batman. 1130 00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:59.480 Everybody likes Batman and Batman Returns is set at Christmas 1131 00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:01.440 time and I I really love but it's probably one 1132 00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:02.719 of my favorite Batman movies. 1133 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:04.360 You say it's underrated, though I would not. 1134 00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:08.440 It's not necessarily one of those ones that make Yeah, 1135 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:11.679 it hasn't reached. Diehard's a Christmas movie yet, but you 1136 00:50:11.679 --> 00:50:12.440 can say, well. 1137 00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:16.840 It will, hopefully it will. Recently, it's fucking out there 1138 00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:18.880 that movie. It's an odd ass movie, and it's not 1139 00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:23.679 for kids. It's freaky ass. Yeah, it's freaky. He bicycle's nose. Yeah, 1140 00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:24.199 it is. 1141 00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:29.159 Bloody and sexy and kinky, and for all those reasons 1142 00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:30.519 and many more, I adore it. 1143 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:31.920 Yeah, I'm a big fan. 1144 00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:34.679 But also it just it feels odd to say it's 1145 00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:37.039 Christmasy because it is set at Christmas time. You know, 1146 00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:39.199 you've got the ice Princess and the big Christmas tree 1147 00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:40.079 and all that stuff. 1148 00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:41.880 But also the way it's made. 1149 00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.840 I mean, it feels like, for me, like an old 1150 00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:47.039 timey movie, like something from the forties or fifties, And 1151 00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:48.679 when I was growing up, that's the kind of stuff 1152 00:50:48.679 --> 00:50:50.559 that I would watch on TV or on Christmas Time, 1153 00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:53.119 like an old musical, something like meet Me in Saint 1154 00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:55.280 Louis or meet Me in Saint Lewis. 1155 00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:59.320 Whoever, my apologies to the people of that city, Louis. 1156 00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:02.480 I think that's how they sing it, Okay, Yeah, I 1157 00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:06.000 think I think Louis probably rhymes some more stuff than Lewis. Yeah, 1158 00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:09.400 they sang it wrong. They're too cheap to fix it. Yeah, 1159 00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:15.000 fucking up, Judy Garton, No, say Louis, I don't know. 1160 00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:19.519 It's just got a very kind of big, gordy quote 1161 00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:22.199 unquote artificial feel that feels like Christmas to me. It 1162 00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:24.159 feels like you're going to the mall and seeing a 1163 00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:26.920 huge tree and a fat dude dressed up as Santa. 1164 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:28.960 You know, the actual Santa couldn't be there. 1165 00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:29.599 Yeah. 1166 00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:32.840 No, it just gives me a warm glow. And then 1167 00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:34.599 it's got all that, as I said, the bloodiness and 1168 00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:36.400 the kinkiness and the weirdness that just you know, it's 1169 00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:37.679 a little spice in your egg nog. 1170 00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:40.239 Batman's barely in it as well. That's the thing as well, 1171 00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:42.840 going is this a Batman movie? What is that? 1172 00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:43.239 Not? 1173 00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:43.920 Really? 1174 00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:46.599 I mean, I get the feeling because this is directed 1175 00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:48.639 by Tim Burton, it's his follow up to the nineteen 1176 00:51:48.679 --> 00:51:49.480 eighty nine Batman. 1177 00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:52.320 It feels like it was keeping busy when they made 1178 00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:57.400 this movie. He got busy, certainly because I think he 1179 00:51:57.400 --> 00:51:59.519 he had had a past relationship with Michelle Fire, who 1180 00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:02.199 plays camp Woman, saying you really feel the chemistry between 1181 00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:05.280 the two of those. That's great, but you. 1182 00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:07.079 Get the feeling that when he made. When Burton made 1183 00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:09.480 the first Batman, it was kind of like, you're making 1184 00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:12.000 a Batman movie. You've got this ip work color within 1185 00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:14.239 these lines, give a little bit of that Tim Burton flavor. 1186 00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:17.440 And it did like gang Basters and Tim Burton becomes 1187 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:19.679 a real name brand. When he got to the second one, 1188 00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:21.800 he's like, I want to do make Tim Burton thing 1189 00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:23.480 and they're like, it seems to have worked so far. 1190 00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:28.559 He delivers this and they went, oh no, no again. 1191 00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:30.639 I get a lot of say the line, but you know, 1192 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:32.960 my favorite line from that chat I had with the 1193 00:52:33.039 --> 00:52:35.599 late great Joel Schumacher when he was directing Batman movies. 1194 00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.639 Like the movies make billions, The movies make millions, the 1195 00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:39.679 toys make billions. 1196 00:52:41.079 --> 00:52:42.880 I don't want to play with this penguin.

The sexual time were 1209 00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:14.639 shoemaker films. That's why I have When I was kidding, 1210 00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:16.159 I watched it going I'll watch it now as an 1211 00:53:16.199 --> 00:53:18.159 adult with the kids, and I go, kids can watch this. 1212 00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:20.480 It's made for kids. People hate it at the time. 1213 00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:23.840 These people and did exactly what they that's true telling you, 1214 00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:26.639 I Reckon Schumacher did to a t what he was 1215 00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:27.119 asked to do. 1216 00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:29.519 Oh yeah, I think he understood this, Simon absolutely and 1217 00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:32.000 he brought a bit of his shoemaker goodness to it 1218 00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:32.320 as well. 1219 00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:35.599 It's so corny and ridiculous. But that's exactly the. 1220 00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:37.719 Other thing though, if you're talking about Batman Forever or 1221 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:40.199 Batman and Robin or both of them, Batman Forever and 1222 00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:42.840 was about it not as kinky as Returns, But I 1223 00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.039 mean the stuff with Kilmer and Kidman is kind of 1224 00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:45.920 like these. 1225 00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:49.719 Hot damn and carry as Riddler in his absolute prime 1226 00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:51.960 carry and you had Tom of the Jones trying to 1227 00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:57.360 be carried Yeah, that's party sanction. That the thing is, 1228 00:53:57.440 --> 00:54:00.360 the thing is you know why it works. It was 1229 00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:05.840 a success, So Batman Returns was a marketing not a failure. 1230 00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:08.400 But when McDonald's pulled the plug on the happy Meal toys, 1231 00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:11.039 you know you're fucked up right. One of the most 1232 00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:14.880 iconic McDonald's things of all time, like toys haveing meal 1233 00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:19.119 things was the Batman Forever glasses.

Every ossy 1236 00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:27.000 kitchen had at least one of these glasses in the 1237 00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:30.000 kitchen in the cupboards, and they're just so great. They're styleized. 1238 00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:32.920 I'll show them. They're fantastic, right. This movie was just 1239 00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:35.840 perfectly made. Four kids. I remember all the marketing, all 1240 00:54:35.880 --> 00:54:37.559 the toys. It was like it was just a great 1241 00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:41.480 granted not great Batman movies or what the previous ones were, 1242 00:54:41.800 --> 00:54:44.880 but as in a capsule perfect. Oh yeah. When we're 1243 00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:45.480 recording this. 1244 00:54:46.199 --> 00:54:49.440 A couple of hours ago, the first trailer for James 1245 00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:50.800 Gung Superman movie dropped. 1246 00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:53.039 Okay, have you watched it yet? Have you seen this? 1247 00:54:53.079 --> 00:54:55.159 Have you heard about this? Sorry, of course you're gonna 1248 00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:56.000 of course some. 1249 00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:01.960 I think you'll enjoy it because it's first of all, 1250 00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:04.960 it's got like a this is gonna sound that, but 1251 00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:07.440 it works. It's like a rock guitar version of John 1252 00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:11.360 Williams a Superman theme, kind of good. The guy playing 1253 00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:12.480 Superman looks great. 1254 00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:15.599 Either really slow with the piano or rocky. And it's 1255 00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:18.159 not they don't go full you know, rock out with 1256 00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:19.000 your cockadd it's. 1257 00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:30.400 More it's not bad dude. But overall, and of course 1258 00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:32.440 it's based on just a two minute trailer, so they're 1259 00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:34.599 trying to sell you on something. But it feels like 1260 00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:41.079 a steer away from the very serious stuff, which with 1261 00:55:41.199 --> 00:55:44.239 the Nolan Batman's and with the Zack Snyder Superman's, it 1262 00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:47.119 feels like, oh, this is a bit more cartoonish, a 1263 00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:50.159 little lighthearted, and it's got some seriousness to it. But 1264 00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:53.679 it's like this looks big and goofy and weird, and 1265 00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:56.880 sincere I think it's gonna think it's actually gonna be 1266 00:55:56.920 --> 00:55:59.159 really good. My my expectations of it were kind of like, 1267 00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:03.159 but it feels it doesn't feel quite as gordy as 1268 00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:05.920 like the Shoemaker Batman's, but it feels like oh, these 1269 00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:06.719 are meant to be fun. 1270 00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:08.840 Yeah, these are kind of meant to be fun. I 1271 00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:11.440 said to I was saying to a Mitch, maybe message you, 1272 00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:13.480 maybe mystery. I just had a random thought with Mitch 1273 00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:17.199 is a huge Superman fan. I messaged him saying, does 1274 00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:19.239 it bother you that kids in twenty twenty four, if 1275 00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:20.519 you walked up to any child and sai, who's you 1276 00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:22.840 favorite superhero? None of them a saying Batman or Superman anymore? 1277 00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:25.639 And that just is a sign that DC are fucked 1278 00:56:25.679 --> 00:56:29.760 up because every kid's favorite superhero now's either spider Man, Iroman, 1279 00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:32.719 it's all Marvel. When I was growing up, it was 1280 00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:35.039 you're either Superman kid or you're a Batman kid. Okay, 1281 00:56:35.199 --> 00:56:36.760 because well there was no Marvel films, you know what 1282 00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:40.199 I mean? That's true, But now like no kid wants 1283 00:56:40.239 --> 00:56:41.800 to be Maybe you get a costume. But if you 1284 00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:43.320 say to a kid, who's you favorite superhero, they're not 1285 00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:45.039 saying Batman, They're not saying Superman. 1286 00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:48.440 No, Batman's a little bit more for sort of I've 1287 00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:52.320 not too serious teenage edge lords and old Mastard like 1288 00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:53.199 me and Superman. 1289 00:56:53.960 --> 00:56:56.400 Certain i'd say Daredevil. Wol. I'm gonna go on a 1290 00:56:56.400 --> 00:56:58.800 limon say, I don't think Superman's call anymore. Well, no, 1291 00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:01.880 but Superman was never cool, but he felt When I 1292 00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:03.920 was a kid, it felt cool the due can fly. 1293 00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:06.880 Oh yeah, when flying like that's that's a superperwerent of stuff. 1294 00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:10.400 Now kids are so accustomed to the Avengers films, where 1295 00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:13.280 it's just constant fucking people flying around bashing into each other, 1296 00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:16.679 like the idea of this guy can fly and what Yeah, 1297 00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:18.880 they've just have taken the aura of Superman. 1298 00:57:19.039 --> 00:57:21.239 Well yeah, the tough thing with Superman was like, well, 1299 00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:24.039 you know, who can threaten this guy? 1300 00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:28.119 We've made him. We made this guy too good? But 1301 00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:29.639 cheat code. That's true. 1302 00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:32.920 But anyway, but that's coming out next year. But the 1303 00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:35.440 trailer is fantastic and I'm really. 1304 00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:38.239 Looking forward to it. But my Christmas Special, yeah, and 1305 00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:41.760 I was better to say that, but I'm done. I 1306 00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:44.239 wanted to get something that's completely different. I knew you'd 1307 00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:47.159 go something that's more adult based. I've gone to something 1308 00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:49.440 that I am particularly for nineties kids. I think a 1309 00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:51.920 lot of our listeners are nineties kids, my age whatever, Yes, 1310 00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:54.239 And I think and the show Hay Hannold, I've brought 1311 00:57:54.239 --> 00:57:56.880 it up very a lot one of my favorite shows 1312 00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:59.239 still to this day. Kids love watching Hayndold now they 1313 00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:01.599 love it. It's funny how the kids call him hay 1314 00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:06.400 Hanold his name is actually because it's interesting. I didn't 1315 00:58:06.400 --> 00:58:10.000 realize this until a lot later. So Dan Castlentta does 1316 00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:12.360 the voice of his grandpa. So do you know that 1317 00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:14.400 the purpose of the show this is his grandpa and 1318 00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:16.639 grandma in a It's like it's like a house of 1319 00:58:16.679 --> 00:58:19.119 various people live in it, like a boarding house. It's 1320 00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:21.000 almost like a boarding house basically. Yeah, it's like all 1321 00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:23.239 these different red ruined apartment block. Maybe it's like an 1322 00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:25.599 apartment building or whatever. Yeah, and they they're the landlords, 1323 00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:27.760 the landlands of building. Yes, but they all all have 1324 00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:29.480 they share the same kitchen and what that kind of thing. 1325 00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:31.079 So it's like a family vibe. But they all have 1326 00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:32.679 their own rooms in his apartment. This sounds more like 1327 00:58:32.719 --> 00:58:35.920 a boarding house. Yeah, yeah, boarding house maybe. Yeah. So 1328 00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:37.800 so Dan Castlett does the voice of grandpa, and trust me, 1329 00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:39.840 Neil has the voice of the grandma. But they always 1330 00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:41.719 go hey short man, Hew you going hey short man. 1331 00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:43.519 And later in the show you find out his last 1332 00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:46.519 name short man. It's Adam's short man. But this Christmas 1333 00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:48.880 is called Arnold's Christmas. It's from season one of the show, 1334 00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:51.960 and it's just got a really sweet, beautiful story. So 1335 00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:55.599 there's a I'm pretty sure mister Hunt is Vietnamese. Back 1336 00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:57.480 when he was a lot younger, he had a daughter May. 1337 00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:00.480 We never see his wife, and I'm assuming she must beast. 1338 00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:02.280 But they come to a point where they were escaping 1339 00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:04.320 on a helicopter and then he had room for one 1340 00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:06.480 more and he said, well, I want my daughter to 1341 00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:08.159 have a better life, so he puts the daughter, baby May, 1342 00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:10.199 on the helicopter. She gets taken and he finds out 1343 00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:11.800 that she was in this city, which is why he 1344 00:59:11.840 --> 00:59:14.360 moved to the city where Arnold lives, and he's trying 1345 00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:15.760 to track her down, but he can't track her down. 1346 00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:18.119 So Arnold's Christmas wish is to track down his daughter, 1347 00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:21.239 who's much older now, and reunite her with her father. Arnold. 1348 00:59:21.239 --> 00:59:24.000 What a lord, what a show. It's fantastic, sounds a 1349 00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:27.880 really nice. I'm sort of not tearing up, but yeah, close, yeah, Becau. 1350 00:59:27.920 --> 00:59:29.239 It's just you know, you never really know much about 1351 00:59:29.239 --> 00:59:30.639 the guy and you find out, oh, he's here because 1352 00:59:30.679 --> 00:59:32.360 he's trying to track down his daughter who he wanted 1353 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:34.559 to give a better life to, and Arnold's Christmas wishes 1354 00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:37.079 to reunite them. And you're like, oh my god, all right, spoiler, 1355 00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:39.719 is there a reunion there?

Apparently, So yeah, new episodes of Time. 1422 01:02:44.239 --> 01:02:47.119 I saw it coming on Netflix one announcing it here. 1423 01:02:48.119 --> 01:02:50.599 In his actual life, he's like this vintage carra Fi 1424 01:02:50.599 --> 01:02:56.440 Shonado who owns like six Aston Martins races them. Apparently 1425 01:02:56.960 --> 01:02:58.880 he pulled like a burden of the genie and he 1426 01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:03.599 told the girl friend of this other comedian a comana 1427 01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:05.360 I don't like, by the way, I find a bit 1428 01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:07.599 bit of a prats. I'm like, you go, mister Bean. 1429 01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:10.559 And my mate said, have you ever heard the story 1430 01:03:10.599 --> 01:03:13.480 about you know, he was on his private plane landing 1431 01:03:13.519 --> 01:03:15.800 somewhere in Africa. The pilot had a heart attack and 1432 01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:17.480 Rollan Atkinson landed the plane. 1433 01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:23.519 Really, holy shit, that's mister Bean skit in it. So yeah. 1434 01:03:23.679 --> 01:03:25.440 So apparently had a show on Netflix two years ago 1435 01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:27.239 that I had no idea about ca Manvess is b Yeah, 1436 01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:28.960 and they're doing a sequel with that as well. That's 1437 01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:32.000 what I saw, yeah, called man versus Baby. That's it. Yeah. 1438 01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:33.440 I thought it was Mystic, which. 1439 01:03:33.280 --> 01:03:37.079 Is the story of Dando's life. Yeah, but Bernar and 1440 01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:37.480 the Genie. 1441 01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:39.119 I think you can probably find it on YouTube. A 1442 01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:40.800 lot of stuff is just ending up on YouTube these 1443 01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:43.480 days because there's We've just got so much stuff you 1444 01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:45.639 got to put it somewhere, and that just can't control 1445 01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:47.039 it all anymore. I can't control it all. 1446 01:03:47.199 --> 01:03:51.519 But it's very sweet and it's got a really lovely 1447 01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:52.840 not bittersweet ending. 1448 01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:55.000 But you know you think, oh, I spoiler back, I'm 1449 01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:58.000 gonna watch this shit. No, No, it's it's lovely. It's 1450 01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:04.239 something I really rite out of these t all right, Well, 1451 01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:07.000 that is our underrated Christmas special? Any any TV show 1452 01:04:07.039 --> 01:04:08.920 specials over there? Any TV Yeah, I I was trying 1453 01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:10.760 to think of some TV episodes that you can remember that. 1454 01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:12.840 You go, you like the Christmas version of it. You 1455 01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:15.440 love family Tires, right, I do, and I'm sure they 1456 01:04:15.440 --> 01:04:17.400 would have had fa Mainy Tires Christmas. I'm gonna take 1457 01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:21.719 the description of Christmas Special A Keaton Christmas Carol. Christmas 1458 01:04:21.800 --> 01:04:25.199 is just around the corner, but Alex lacks holiday spirit 1459 01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:28.039 as the rest of his family prepared to celebrate. On 1460 01:04:28.199 --> 01:04:31.400 Christmas Eve, he is visited in a dream by ghostly 1461 01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:33.800 messengers who give him a view of his past and future. 1462 01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:36.400 Christmas is along with a different perception of the holiday. 1463 01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:42.239 Ah Dickens always comes through, so family ties, they do 1464 01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:44.599 have Christmas Special. What's another show you liked? What's the 1465 01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:47.280 theme song you like? Growing Pains? Like, yeah, Growing Pains 1466 01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:48.039 Christmas have a look. 1467 01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:50.360 You've just reminded me of a gift that I got 1468 01:04:50.400 --> 01:04:53.760 from my my great sister Margot. All my sisters are great, 1469 01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:57.840 but Margo, from a very early age was always giving 1470 01:04:57.880 --> 01:05:00.400 me like books, and books were just way but my 1471 01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:03.800 pay grade. But she gave me like a really nice 1472 01:05:04.519 --> 01:05:06.960 little hard backed copy of a Christmas Carol Charles Dickens 1473 01:05:07.079 --> 01:05:10.239 Christmas Carol when I was about maybe seven or eight, 1474 01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.960 and I was like, this isn't make for notch. So 1475 01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:17.199 of course I was like, eh, I'll tell you what 1476 01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:20.199 I've got That book to this day, I reckon. I mean, yeah, 1477 01:05:20.199 --> 01:05:23.320 it must be god nearly half a century old now, 1478 01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:27.280 but yeah, something's got to keep there are some things 1479 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:29.199 you've got to keep. Marco has liked that though she's 1480 01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:32.239 always she's like you, and that she's giving gifts as 1481 01:05:32.239 --> 01:05:33.800 opposed to like, just give me a gift cap. 1482 01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:35.880 Yeah, I know what I want. I'd give gifts. 1483 01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:38.519 Yeah, And it's kind of like putting effort into like 1484 01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:40.480 I think they might like this, So it's a gamble. 1485 01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:42.679 She's always rolling the dice. My mum's worked out. Now, 1486 01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:45.519 don't buy the kids clothes or she's worked out. Don't 1487 01:05:45.519 --> 01:05:47.960 expect to excited response when you buy them clothes. That's true. 1488 01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:51.400 He's one toys on Christmas. Here's one toys sucks a 1489 01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:54.960 Christmas story. This is Growing Pains. I'm seeing a theme here. 1490 01:05:55.079 --> 01:05:57.639 Oh boy, okay, well the Siva family prepared for Christmas. 1491 01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:00.519 One of Jason's patients contemplates suicide by jumping under sea 1492 01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:04.679 for chimney. Holy so, a little bit Gremlins, a little bit, 1493 01:06:04.679 --> 01:06:08.360 that's a wonderful life. Yeah, all right, that's the second 1494 01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:11.239 one is called the Kid. Second Christmas episode of Growing Pains, 1495 01:06:11.719 --> 01:06:14.800 taken with the holiday spirit, Ben brings home a runaway 1496 01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:18.760 homeless girl for dinner. All right, Ben, it's a little one, right. 1497 01:06:19.199 --> 01:06:21.559 I never watched the show. I'm trying to remember what 1498 01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:25.360 Kirk Cameron's character's name, jingle Bell Rock, the Red Nose Reindeer, 1499 01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:28.360 get the holes in the first Noel Orbia, Okay, that's number. 1500 01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:31.280 It's very nice, that's very Christmasy. As I said, they 1501 01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:32.679 understood the assignment. 1502 01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:35.039 And it's not easy. Being Green is the third and 1503 01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:38.280 final Christmas episode of Growing Pains. They did three. The 1504 01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:42.239 description is the Christmas Spirit is on short supply, with 1505 01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.559 Mike and Carabine jealous of Kate and Dwight. Well, Jason 1506 01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:48.400 is over controlling and decorating the tree. That sounds like 1507 01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:55.519 a sick sheigans into ularity into you. But every sitcom's 1508 01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:57.719 got a Christmas episode, and yeah, you might not know 1509 01:06:57.800 --> 01:06:59.360 they exists. Just check it out. Look, think of your 1510 01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:01.880 favorite TV show and just take Christmas episode after it. 1511 01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:04.960 And I love it when the show's because I'm a 1512 01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:07.199 Christmas guy. You also love seeing the characters that I 1513 01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:11.400 enjoy just in the Christmas spirit. Generally, it's very odd 1514 01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:13.840 or very rare for a Christmas themed episode to have 1515 01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:18.039 a sad ending No no, I mean the old point 1516 01:07:18.039 --> 01:07:19.239 of it is to make you feel a woman fuzzy 1517 01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:21.159 and by presence. Of course, it's going to be a 1518 01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:21.840 scripted show. 1519 01:07:22.119 --> 01:07:24.800 It's got to follow the beats of something's gonna go 1520 01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:27.400 slightly wrong. Well, here's a situation that could end badly, 1521 01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:31.079 but guess what, it doesn't because we're a family, and 1522 01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:33.320 families get together at Christmas time, and even if you're 1523 01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:35.800 not part of the family. Hey come, you know, hey, 1524 01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:38.920 homeless girl, I'm ben seeber Come, come, come to our house. 1525 01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:43.239 She stole all our shit.

Back to Lex. 1598 01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:51.479 Golf is not a sport? Is that what you're saying. 1599 01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:53.600 It's arguable. 1600 01:10:55.119 --> 01:10:58.239 It's defined US sport. It's on Fox Sports. But yeah, people, 1601 01:10:58.239 --> 01:10:59.800 a lot of people say, is it really a sports? 1602 01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:01.960 Like snooger, I watched snooker, I watched bowlie. Is it 1603 01:11:02.079 --> 01:11:03.439 really a sport? It's competitive. 1604 01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:05.239 There's a lot of things that are on Fox Sports 1605 01:11:05.239 --> 01:11:07.520 that aren't sport. I mean, Jason Dunstall is in a sport. 1606 01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:12.000 He's a speaking of sport, I'm taking Alliott to his 1607 01:11:12.039 --> 01:11:16.039 first ever test match boxing day. What better one's taken to. 1608 01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:17.920 I mean it's not the Ashes, but it's still this 1609 01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:18.880 is the next best one. 1610 01:11:18.800 --> 01:11:22.399 Right totally any Boxing day test, but yes, if it's 1611 01:11:22.439 --> 01:11:29.119 Australia India for the last really the last ten ish years, 1612 01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:31.920 ten to fifteen years, like that's been prime time and 1613 01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:34.840 Boxing Day test is I think it's the MCG as 1614 01:11:34.920 --> 01:11:37.039 much as anything, to be fair, but boxing day tests 1615 01:11:37.079 --> 01:11:41.119 there's something about that post Christmas buzz that hangs around 1616 01:11:41.159 --> 01:11:43.399 the air. You've also you know there's Boxing Day sales 1617 01:11:43.439 --> 01:11:47.600 Melbourne's Melbourne's busy, but calm like it. No one's stressed 1618 01:11:47.640 --> 01:11:50.520 on Boxing Day. It's just a it's a chill vibe. 1619 01:11:51.199 --> 01:11:53.600 You're still in a slight food comba from Christmas and whatnot. 1620 01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:58.000 Hmm. I still like I've got pretty vivid memories of 1621 01:11:58.039 --> 01:12:02.199 my first couple of MCAG trips related that my grandfather 1622 01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:03.960 took me to my first out of cricket game at 1623 01:12:03.960 --> 01:12:06.760 the g but that was a one day It was Australia, 1624 01:12:07.319 --> 01:12:09.039 I want to say it was Australia Pakistan. 1625 01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:11.600 We took Ellie to Australia Pakistan this year. 1626 01:12:11.960 --> 01:12:14.640 Nice, there's a little bit of symmetry there. What I 1627 01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:16.960 do remember about the game is Anthony Stewart took a 1628 01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:19.560 hat trick and Anthony Stewart didn't play a lot of 1629 01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:22.279 cricket for Australia, but because that was like the first 1630 01:12:22.279 --> 01:12:24.439 thing that I ever saw in my eyes, Anthony Stewart 1631 01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:27.359 was better than Glen McGrath for a couple of years. 1632 01:12:27.600 --> 01:12:31.760 And the first Test that I went to was actually 1633 01:12:31.800 --> 01:12:34.720 Australia in the year as well, and it was Brittley's debut. 1634 01:12:34.840 --> 01:12:37.479 That was the we watched that today, Elliot night, I 1635 01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:38.680 was on Foxtowe. 1636 01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:41.319 The whole test or was it just like a little clip. 1637 01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:45.119 It was the minis kind of thing. Yeah, cool, but 1638 01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:47.880 yeah that was in two thousand. Yeah, it was the. 1639 01:12:47.880 --> 01:12:52.399 Ninety nine two thousand series. We went day two from memory. 1640 01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:57.119 Australia had batted on day one and Brett Lee made 1641 01:12:57.239 --> 01:13:00.279 like twenty seven maybe not out, but I had like 1642 01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:02.279 twenty seven or something like that. So that was the 1643 01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:04.920 sort of first thing we saw in the morning and 1644 01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:07.199 then it took a week. In his first over, I 1645 01:13:07.239 --> 01:13:09.039 think it was with a low full toss from memory, 1646 01:13:09.039 --> 01:13:13.520 but just that was one of those things where I 1647 01:13:13.560 --> 01:13:17.560 think that like there was a buzz and excitement around 1648 01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:20.399 how quick Brett had been bowling in the lead up, 1649 01:13:20.439 --> 01:13:23.279 and even that it was at a time that people 1650 01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:26.119 weren't really paying attention to speed guns. It wasn't until 1651 01:13:26.199 --> 01:13:28.840 the talk of like this kid is really really quick. 1652 01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:32.279 And I don't know if it was coincidence, but I'd 1653 01:13:32.279 --> 01:13:34.439 be surprised if it was that that was the one 1654 01:13:34.439 --> 01:13:37.840 that Dad was like, right, we're going and yeah, it 1655 01:13:37.880 --> 01:13:39.199 was great. Day picked up with a good one, and 1656 01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:41.680 that kick started a run of me not missing boxing 1657 01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:45.439 day tests for oh god, maybe until X was born 1658 01:13:46.319 --> 01:13:50.359 or COVID COVID year probably anyway, it was it was 1659 01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:50.720 a lot. 1660 01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:53.000 Yeah, Well, Alie's excited. Alie will sit there, he will 1661 01:13:53.000 --> 01:13:55.479 watch test matches. He's obsessed with cricket. He loves it. 1662 01:13:55.479 --> 01:13:55.880 It's great. 1663 01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:58.399 How's it going with the change of pace, because is 1664 01:13:58.439 --> 01:14:00.479 this his first summer of watching test much cricket? 1665 01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:03.760 First someone he likes the idea of tests more than 1666 01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:05.720 one day is I think he loves the excitement of 1667 01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:08.359 big bash, but he likes the fact that he goes, 1668 01:14:08.439 --> 01:14:10.199 oh it doesn't matter if this one because they get 1669 01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:13.399 the bat again. He likes the concept of all that. 1670 01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:15.039 He likes the five day concept. 1671 01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:16.840 He likes the second chances. 1672 01:14:16.720 --> 01:14:18.600 Yeah, but no, but he'll be watching it and he'll 1673 01:14:18.600 --> 01:14:22.439 just go oh because he was human. When India didn't 1674 01:14:22.479 --> 01:14:24.880 have to do the follow on, he was furious. He 1675 01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:28.119 cracked it, walked out. He goes, these guys are the bowlers, 1676 01:14:28.359 --> 01:14:29.680 why can't they get him out? 1677 01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:33.600 So was it him that was messaging me, not you? 1678 01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:36.239 From if I was just strowing you up? Mitch and 1679 01:14:36.319 --> 01:14:38.079 I have messages and I know he hates when people 1680 01:14:38.159 --> 01:14:39.560 just throw hot takes out there, so I'm like, I'm 1681 01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:41.399 just gonna throw some hot takes out at him. And 1682 01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:43.119 he didn't respond straight away, and I was like, oh, 1683 01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:45.319 it didn't work. And then about an hour, lady, you're like, 1684 01:14:45.479 --> 01:14:46.920 I'm going to respond to this when I'm finished with 1685 01:14:46.920 --> 01:14:47.279 the bath. 1686 01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:51.159 That was not my tone. I mean, I did record. 1687 01:14:51.199 --> 01:14:55.239 I'm I'm gonna I will return to this, and I 1688 01:14:55.319 --> 01:14:56.880 was like, I've got to come clean now.

I'm just gonna keep going 1694 01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:09.000 to the replies and you didn't reply, and I was like, 1695 01:15:09.079 --> 01:15:09.920 I'm gonna say. 1696 01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:15.039 I was leimate, I was legitimately justice year Ash was 1697 01:15:15.039 --> 01:15:16.960 out and I was tied up. I thought I was 1698 01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:19.399 just dealing with dinner and bedtime and all sort stuff. 1699 01:15:19.399 --> 01:15:21.359 I thought I genuinely just like pissed him off to 1700 01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:22.840 the point were he's just not going to write back anymore. 1701 01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:28.279 What's Christmas presents? What's coming for the kids? 1702 01:15:28.760 --> 01:15:32.039 Alliott just wants cricket ship but he so he's getting 1703 01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:35.279 I'm talking legitimate, like he wants the test shirt, the 1704 01:15:35.359 --> 01:15:39.279 test overcoat thing, the wooly one, he wants that, the 1705 01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:42.560 test pants, he wants the he calls him the Zamper glasses. 1706 01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:44.720 But they're just the cricketer glasses. 1707 01:15:44.920 --> 01:15:49.159 I can't believe how quickly though that that pair of glasses. 1708 01:15:49.199 --> 01:15:50.920 I don't know what the fuck are I think they're Oakley, 1709 01:15:50.960 --> 01:15:53.640 but whoever makes them, like every cricketer I've never seen 1710 01:15:53.680 --> 01:15:55.960 them before, and suddenly everyone is wearing them. 1711 01:15:56.039 --> 01:15:57.439 Yep, there now, I reckon, there's got to be some 1712 01:15:57.479 --> 01:15:59.720 sort of tie in there, like we'll pay you to 1713 01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:00.840 all wear the same shit. 1714 01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:04.800 Yeah, gotta be, Yeah, it might almost be. But the 1715 01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:08.479 thing is, it's not even just Australia, like the Indians 1716 01:16:08.560 --> 01:16:10.600 wearing as well. I'm seeing New Zealand because originally I 1717 01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:13.319 was thinking, oh maybe it was a time with cricket Australia, 1718 01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:15.760 but that's so ubiquitous it's insane. 1719 01:16:16.159 --> 01:16:18.840 Can I just say, well, ten minutes in, Eliza is 1720 01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:20.800 probably thinking, fuck me, Mitch has been on the show 1721 01:16:20.840 --> 01:16:25.760 for like three years and all the torbet's fucking cricket. 1722 01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:27.039 You're the one going to the test. 1723 01:16:27.399 --> 01:16:29.520 Yeah I know, but yeah, so it's true though I 1724 01:16:29.560 --> 01:16:31.560 reckon that they used to wear Oakley's anyway. But they 1725 01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:32.680 were the thinner ones, weren't they. 1726 01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:36.239 The style is now you'd get variety, like you know, 1727 01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:38.199 some would wear the wrap arounds and some would were 1728 01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:40.319 just just wear like bug eyes or whatever. 1729 01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:43.439 It would be. Imagine the glasses were talking about. Imagine 1730 01:16:43.640 --> 01:16:46.439 what a typical raver wears to a music festival. 1731 01:16:46.840 --> 01:16:49.199 Yeah, they're not a mile away from the Piete Sittle 1732 01:16:49.239 --> 01:16:51.359 speed dealers that he was made fun of wearing a 1733 01:16:51.399 --> 01:16:52.720 couple of seasons ago. 1734 01:16:52.960 --> 01:16:55.079 Yeah, but Elliot wanted a pair of those, so he's 1735 01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:57.920 getting those. He wanted a wooden bat. It's weird the 1736 01:16:57.960 --> 01:17:03.680 smaller bats. So why he's height he's a size three? Okay, 1737 01:17:03.720 --> 01:17:07.119 but the head of the bat's a lot thinner. Yeah, 1738 01:17:07.159 --> 01:17:09.680 and Alliott won't want that because he practices with like 1739 01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:13.439 the big bash kanga cricket, like the plastic ones, and wise, 1740 01:17:13.520 --> 01:17:15.439 I think he's adjusted to the height of that. And 1741 01:17:15.560 --> 01:17:18.159 granted the wooden bats are a bit heavier, but I 1742 01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:19.600 think I won't take him on to just get just 1743 01:17:19.600 --> 01:17:21.079 get used to it. I'd rather just throw him the deep 1744 01:17:21.079 --> 01:17:22.800 been straight away. I'm going to get him a size five, 1745 01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:25.279 which is a lot bigger. I think, why I just 1746 01:17:25.479 --> 01:17:26.840 go for the gusto from the get go. 1747 01:17:27.159 --> 01:17:30.920 You're grow into it, That's fine. Yeah, you know I'm 1748 01:17:30.920 --> 01:17:33.640 not cutting golf clubs in half flex yet. I'm just 1749 01:17:33.640 --> 01:17:36.039 giving her mind and you know, we stand further away 1750 01:17:36.079 --> 01:17:36.800 she figures it out. 1751 01:17:36.920 --> 01:17:38.640 Yeah, because we've got I've got a friend who likes 1752 01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:40.680 the cricket and he plays with the smaller bat, and 1753 01:17:40.680 --> 01:17:43.600 I'm just like, rather just learn how to play with 1754 01:17:43.640 --> 01:17:45.479 the big one. So I've got him the size five 1755 01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:48.640 cricket bat. But else, yeah, he got some new cricket wickts. 1756 01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:49.720 He wanted a lot up what brand? 1757 01:17:49.800 --> 01:17:50.479 What brand bat? 1758 01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:51.680 Gret Nichols? 1759 01:17:51.880 --> 01:17:55.199 Okay, ready handle or like what are the stickers? 1760 01:17:55.880 --> 01:17:57.600 And as in I've gotta right under the table, I 1761 01:17:57.600 --> 01:18:00.279 can have a look showed.

Though? 1777 01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:44.960 No, that's enough people talking about them. 1778 01:18:45.079 --> 01:18:47.000 So he's got so he's got the full test gear. 1779 01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:51.680 He wanted a the hats like the white hat they were. 1780 01:18:51.720 --> 01:18:52.800 He's basically wanted the test. 1781 01:18:52.880 --> 01:18:55.479 He just wants to be able to walk down the 1782 01:18:55.520 --> 01:18:57.039 street and be mistaken. 1783 01:18:56.720 --> 01:19:04.560 For Ben Duckett. Yeah, but we're here to talk about 1784 01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:07.560 Christmas specials. So I spoke earlier to Guy about underrated 1785 01:19:07.600 --> 01:19:10.439 Chrismas specials. It's Christmas specials that we appreciated that others 1786 01:19:10.439 --> 01:19:13.640 out there might not have heard of. Guy ended up 1787 01:19:13.640 --> 01:19:15.720 talking about Batman Returns because says it's a Chrismas movie 1788 01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:18.279 that many people don't see. It is a Christmas movie. Whatever. 1789 01:19:18.880 --> 01:19:22.880 I ended up going with it. It's very true to me, 1790 01:19:23.079 --> 01:19:24.960 but it's actually a really great story. And I went 1791 01:19:25.000 --> 01:19:28.399 with Arnold's Christmas from Hay Arnold. It's some season one 1792 01:19:28.399 --> 01:19:30.359 of Hay Arnold. I don't want to read treat the 1793 01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:32.520 same thing. Basically, the story is he lives in the 1794 01:19:32.520 --> 01:19:34.760 boarding house or the house with lots of people living 1795 01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:37.119 with his grandparents owned the own the place, state that 1796 01:19:37.159 --> 01:19:40.199 the landlord's and there's a Vietnamese the man there named 1797 01:19:40.239 --> 01:19:42.800 mister Hun. Arnold get him the Kris Kringle. He wants 1798 01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:44.520 to get him a good present. He finds out that 1799 01:19:44.520 --> 01:19:46.800 the reason he's in the city there, living in that 1800 01:19:46.800 --> 01:19:48.760 city where he chose to live there, was because when 1801 01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:50.399 he was younger, he had a baby daughter named my 1802 01:19:50.880 --> 01:19:53.279 and during the Vietnam War, the American soldiers were flying 1803 01:19:53.279 --> 01:19:55.199 away to a helicopter and then the space one more person. 1804 01:19:55.199 --> 01:19:56.680 He gave him the baby so she'd be safe and 1805 01:19:56.680 --> 01:19:58.479 have a nice place to live, and he heard that 1806 01:19:58.479 --> 01:20:01.640 she'd moved to this city. Arnold Spendcy's Christmas trying to 1807 01:20:01.760 --> 01:20:03.920 find and track her down. And it's a reunion and 1808 01:20:03.920 --> 01:20:06.079 it's big Christmas miracle. It's a really lovely story. It's 1809 01:20:06.359 --> 01:20:08.399 as a really adult story for a kids show, and 1810 01:20:08.600 --> 01:20:11.720 I really appreciated it. But I said to you to 1811 01:20:11.960 --> 01:20:14.560 recommend a Christmas special of some kind or Christmas movie 1812 01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:16.119 or something, And what did you come up with? 1813 01:20:16.840 --> 01:20:18.760 Oh? I had a good think about this because the 1814 01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:22.279 first few that sprung to mind were the obvious ones. 1815 01:20:22.319 --> 01:20:24.199 I mean, the Simpsons have done some really good ones. 1816 01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:25.520 We don't need to warp over that. 1817 01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:28.840 The just some one that we may end up be 1818 01:20:28.880 --> 01:20:29.600 doing a review of. 1819 01:20:30.319 --> 01:20:33.640 Yes, which I started watching until you said cancel plans. 1820 01:20:33.680 --> 01:20:37.399 I forgot had done something. They'll postpone. This Fishes from 1821 01:20:37.439 --> 01:20:40.039 the Bear. It's obviously like, that's not underrated, that's just 1822 01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:41.439 fucking brilliant. 1823 01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:42.960 The Bear was it? 1824 01:20:43.359 --> 01:20:45.279 Yeah? Yeah, have you watched the bit? 1825 01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:47.600 I haven't yet. No, those seasons comes out soon. Yeah, 1826 01:20:47.640 --> 01:20:48.840 I heard it's great, all right? Cool? 1827 01:20:48.880 --> 01:20:51.840 So in the second episode, sorry, in the second season, 1828 01:20:51.840 --> 01:20:56.520 there's an episode called Fishes, which is a flashback episode 1829 01:20:56.560 --> 01:21:01.199 to Calmi, the main character since family Christmas, and his 1830 01:21:01.319 --> 01:21:04.159 mum is trying to cook the seven fishes, so it's 1831 01:21:04.279 --> 01:21:09.520 seven different fish dishes on Christmas traditional meal. It's chaotic. 1832 01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:15.119 It's really chaotic and frenetic, and it hearkens to the 1833 01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:20.680 people that may be more broken home memories rather than 1834 01:21:20.760 --> 01:21:24.119 the nuclear family. Everything's good, but it's Christmas not going well, 1835 01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:28.960 and through it all though people still you know, they're 1836 01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:31.039 still coming together, they still love each other, and then 1837 01:21:31.039 --> 01:21:34.840 it all falls apart again. But it's really really just 1838 01:21:34.960 --> 01:21:38.319 spellbinding hour or so of TV. Then I was trying 1839 01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:41.319 to think too, I was trying to get away. I 1840 01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:44.000 was like, well, the thing that interests me the most 1841 01:21:44.039 --> 01:21:48.079 about Christmas episodes is with network TV shows in particular, 1842 01:21:48.840 --> 01:21:53.159 how often Christmas gets brought in and it has absolutely 1843 01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:56.279 nothing to do with the plot. And I feel like 1844 01:21:56.359 --> 01:22:00.680 Christmas is the only time of year that every syndicated 1845 01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:03.079 show feels like we've got to have a Christmas show. 1846 01:22:03.079 --> 01:22:05.520 Around Christmas time, they tend to do it maybe with 1847 01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:07.439 Thanksgiving sometimes. 1848 01:22:07.119 --> 01:22:10.600 Maybe Thanksgiving, but it's like those holidays and it's just 1849 01:22:10.640 --> 01:22:13.399 as always felt odd to me that that is the 1850 01:22:13.680 --> 01:22:16.000 It's not like they're like, it's going to be cold, 1851 01:22:16.199 --> 01:22:18.079 so we should make sure we have a winter episode, 1852 01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:20.000 or like this is on in the summer, so it 1853 01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:22.119 has to be hot like it. It's just a bizarre 1854 01:22:22.159 --> 01:22:24.399 thing that, like no Christmas time, people expect to see 1855 01:22:24.439 --> 01:22:25.159 Christmas on TV. 1856 01:22:25.479 --> 01:22:27.079 I guess maybe it's just fitting the vibe as well. 1857 01:22:27.079 --> 01:22:29.079 You feel like maybe the networks say, look, it's the 1858 01:22:29.159 --> 01:22:31.720 Christmas week. We want every show on our network to 1859 01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:33.720 be doing Christmas show as well. You feel like it's 1860 01:22:33.720 --> 01:22:35.640 something that the executives are doing as opposed to people 1861 01:22:35.840 --> 01:22:36.680 creating the show. 1862 01:22:37.239 --> 01:22:39.000 With that said, so I was trying to think through 1863 01:22:39.039 --> 01:22:41.760 those worlds. Fraser has got a couple of really good 1864 01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:45.199 Christmas episodes. Now it's hard to split, to be honest. 1865 01:22:45.640 --> 01:22:48.560 Then I was thinking around. I was trying to get 1866 01:22:48.560 --> 01:22:51.039 away from comedies to a degree. The West Wind has got. 1867 01:22:51.159 --> 01:22:52.600 I was going to bring up the West Wing. No, 1868 01:22:52.600 --> 01:22:53.640 Noel is a great one. 1869 01:22:53.680 --> 01:22:56.439 No, wow, yeah, fucking cracking. 1870 01:22:57.399 --> 01:22:59.079 That's the one with the art dealer, right or the 1871 01:22:59.119 --> 01:23:04.479 Nazi art. The Nazi art one. Hey, no, there's a 1872 01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:06.760 Christmas episode that has Nazi art involved in it. 1873 01:23:07.159 --> 01:23:09.159 Unless there's a subplot that I'm not aware of it. 1874 01:23:09.199 --> 01:23:13.479 Noela's where Josh Lyne and Bradley Whitford's character is dealing 1875 01:23:13.560 --> 01:23:17.000 with the aftermath and the PTSD of the assassination attempt. 1876 01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:20.479 If there's Nazi Yad in there, then I've probably glossed 1877 01:23:20.479 --> 01:23:22.800 over that, just because what it does have is that 1878 01:23:23.039 --> 01:23:26.800 phenomenal little speech from Leo at the end of it, 1879 01:23:26.840 --> 01:23:28.840 which is just him wrapping his arms around. 1880 01:23:28.600 --> 01:23:30.800 Him have a bit of a jerk. 1881 01:23:31.560 --> 01:23:35.119 Oh yeah, but in the best way, straight into my face. Please, 1882 01:23:35.159 --> 01:23:36.960 mister Sorkin, I am ready to accept it. 1883 01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:38.560 I did not leave my cricket of glasses on. You 1884 01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:42.479 go for it. 1885 01:23:42.680 --> 01:23:48.800 Then, Mash had a couple of good ones. Yeah, there's one. 1886 01:23:49.199 --> 01:23:50.760 I had to look up the name for this one, 1887 01:23:50.800 --> 01:23:54.119 but Death Takes a Holiday, which was season ninth of MASH. 1888 01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:58.600 Serious Mash, Yeah exactly. That's like post laugh track Mash. 1889 01:23:58.720 --> 01:24:01.079 But it's a really real, the intense episode. It's a 1890 01:24:01.079 --> 01:24:03.439 really good one. I think they kicked one off as well, 1891 01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:06.960 Dear Dad in the first season, which is Hawkeye dressed 1892 01:24:07.039 --> 01:24:09.760 up as Santa Claus riding around an army helicopter. 1893 01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:12.760 Yeah, I do want to correct I believe the Tire 1894 01:24:12.800 --> 01:24:14.920 Show did have a laugh track, but you can if 1895 01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:16.600 you have the DVD switch laugh track off. I don't 1896 01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:18.000 they ever stopped doing a laugh track. 1897 01:24:18.479 --> 01:24:21.319 I'm sure I saw some just on Foxholder didn't. 1898 01:24:21.680 --> 01:24:24.239 Oh but was that because Foxtown now airing the laugh 1899 01:24:24.279 --> 01:24:28.119 tracks episodes? But mate, because Alan Older became a director, 1900 01:24:28.159 --> 01:24:30.479 So maybe he made a decision this episode doesn't need 1901 01:24:30.520 --> 01:24:31.680 a laugh track. Maybe you're right. 1902 01:24:32.159 --> 01:24:33.439 It could have been that, like whether it was the 1903 01:24:33.439 --> 01:24:35.800 whole way through, and I think it was. What my 1904 01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:37.640 mate and I've noticing when we're watching this years ago, 1905 01:24:37.760 --> 01:24:39.520 was the difference, Like you go from early match to 1906 01:24:39.600 --> 01:24:43.079 go to an Allan Older's directed match, it's an entirely different. Yeah, 1907 01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:45.439 Like to the point that you're like, did you become 1908 01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:48.560 director or show runner? Like did Alan Older just fire everybody? 1909 01:24:48.680 --> 01:24:50.000 You are? Right by the way, I'm looking you up. 1910 01:24:50.039 --> 01:24:52.199 Mass stopped using a laugh track over many years, if 1911 01:24:52.199 --> 01:24:54.800 eventually dropping it all together. The show's show runers felt 1912 01:24:54.800 --> 01:24:57.079 that using can laughter in a series about Warrens surgeons 1913 01:24:57.119 --> 01:24:59.399 was in poor taste. So, yeah, you're right. I haven't 1914 01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:02.119 revisited the sh for a long time. Man. I love mash. 1915 01:25:02.239 --> 01:25:05.399 Yeah, My dad used to really adore it, and I 1916 01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:07.239 liked it a lot when I was a kid, just 1917 01:25:07.359 --> 01:25:10.399 by proxy, and I haven't watched it for a long time, 1918 01:25:10.439 --> 01:25:12.479 but i'd be keen to get back into it, I 1919 01:25:12.520 --> 01:25:14.479 think as an adult and just you know, rewatch it 1920 01:25:14.520 --> 01:25:20.279 from older rise. Then I've got one that's way more 1921 01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:22.960 obscure that I'll land on, and one that I haven't 1922 01:25:22.960 --> 01:25:25.640 actually seen that I want to talk about. I haven't 1923 01:25:25.640 --> 01:25:27.880 watched all of the Black Mirrors, but there's a Black 1924 01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:30.640 Mirror episode called White Christmas in the second season of 1925 01:25:30.720 --> 01:25:32.560 Black Mirror. Have you watched much Black Mirror? 1926 01:25:32.560 --> 01:25:35.159 Watch the first season? Yeah? Okay? Is the first season 1927 01:25:35.279 --> 01:25:38.079 one with the pig in the well. That's first episode. 1928 01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:38.960 That's the season. 1929 01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:41.159 What an introduction to a TV show? 1930 01:25:44.439 --> 01:25:51.319 Oh shit is going for it? Just for hours that 1931 01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:52.960 pig was not saying my face please, sir. 1932 01:25:56.359 --> 01:25:59.960 H White Christmas is an episode as I haven't seen 1933 01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:01.399 the John Ham's in it, so it has. 1934 01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:01.720 To be good. 1935 01:26:01.880 --> 01:26:06.119 Yeah, the obscure one though, this is one that stood 1936 01:26:06.119 --> 01:26:08.159 out for me, and it's an interesting one because you 1937 01:26:08.279 --> 01:26:12.159 recently took on watching House and then bailed on it early. 1938 01:26:12.319 --> 01:26:13.920 I think, yeah, we're going to revisit it. We're going 1939 01:26:13.960 --> 01:26:15.520 to make it. We're not going to binge it. We're 1940 01:26:15.560 --> 01:26:17.079 going to watch it an episode, a couple of nights 1941 01:26:17.079 --> 01:26:19.000 off watching another one. It's not a binge worthy show. 1942 01:26:19.119 --> 01:26:22.199 Yeah, no, it's it's a drip feed show because it's 1943 01:26:22.199 --> 01:26:24.439 so formulaic. Like, it's really hard to binge watch a 1944 01:26:24.520 --> 01:26:26.439 formulate show because you really start to see through the 1945 01:26:26.439 --> 01:26:29.239 scenes of it all.

Adams, this is this is a 1976 01:27:52.720 --> 01:27:55.840 massive digression. Patrick J. Adams, who played Mike Ross on Suits, 1977 01:27:55.880 --> 01:27:59.720 recently in an interview I was on a podcast, sorry. 1978 01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:03.439 On an episode of his own podcast podcast, It's about 1979 01:28:03.479 --> 01:28:04.279 Is it about suits? 1980 01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:11.279 It's about of course it is, He said, that Suits 1981 01:28:11.399 --> 01:28:14.960 walked so that Succession could run off. 1982 01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:21.199 Mate, It's my favorite favorite thing anyone has said in 1983 01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:22.239 twenty twenty four. 1984 01:28:22.640 --> 01:28:27.039 Ww we like, mate, you walked so Billions could run. 1985 01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:30.000 We stopped watching Billions. I can't watch this tripe anymore. 1986 01:28:30.079 --> 01:28:32.039 I mean, I love GM Marty, but man, that show 1987 01:28:32.039 --> 01:28:33.600 went off the rails after about season four. 1988 01:28:34.199 --> 01:28:38.199 They look they made up for a lot with the 1989 01:28:38.199 --> 01:28:43.520 final season finally okay, but man, I couldn't really, in 1990 01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:47.039 all seriousness recommend anyone watch it. It would still be 1991 01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:50.560 like I'll tell you that last the last season is good, 1992 01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:54.119 but you have to slog through so much shit to 1993 01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:56.079 get there that it's like, No, if I had my 1994 01:28:56.079 --> 01:28:59.000 time again, I would have just gone thanks, I'll take 1995 01:28:59.000 --> 01:29:01.279 the first couple of seasons and then once Bobby's out, 1996 01:29:01.319 --> 01:29:01.840 I'm out. 1997 01:29:02.279 --> 01:29:05.239 Succession is like the real world version of Billions. Billions 1998 01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:08.600 was just so far fetched. Succession was still also far 1999 01:29:08.680 --> 01:29:10.560 fetched to an extent, but I still it's far more 2000 01:29:10.600 --> 01:29:12.039 believable than what Billions was. 2001 01:29:13.640 --> 01:29:16.039 Yes, but anyway, yeah, that that just is my favorite. 2002 01:29:16.079 --> 01:29:19.199 Like Suits has been a it's like a six out 2003 01:29:19.239 --> 01:29:21.720 of ten show. It's not bad, it's. 2004 01:29:21.680 --> 01:29:24.199 Just it's one of those shows that got got on 2005 01:29:24.199 --> 01:29:26.399 to Netflix when Netflix was just becoming a thing and 2006 01:29:26.399 --> 01:29:28.680 everyone was like, Oh, I've you stocked out suits? Yeah? 2007 01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:32.680 Actually, what it is whenever someone says that Ai couldn't 2008 01:29:32.680 --> 01:29:37.399 write a script, Yeah, I reckon it could I reckon 2009 01:29:37.439 --> 01:29:40.000 AI could bang out the suits and you wouldn't know 2010 01:29:40.039 --> 01:29:40.560 the difference. 2011 01:29:40.720 --> 01:29:43.880 I wonder how much of the show benefited from Markle 2012 01:29:44.439 --> 01:29:46.520 dating Prince Harry and everyone discovering the shows it was 2013 01:29:46.560 --> 01:29:49.479 at going oh show, Yeah, I imagine a lot. 2014 01:29:49.680 --> 01:29:52.680 Yeah, And I feel my favorite I was gonna say 2015 01:29:52.680 --> 01:29:54.399 my favorite thing from watching it when you do watch 2016 01:29:54.399 --> 01:29:58.039 through it all is that everyone's every single conversation, apart 2017 01:29:58.039 --> 01:30:01.840 from when like eventually someone admits that they're wrong, usually 2018 01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:06.279 to Donna, every conversation everyone comes in there with the 2019 01:30:06.319 --> 01:30:09.680 same heightened sense of like I want to fight you? 2020 01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:11.359 Who I'm going to fight you? Well, this is the 2021 01:30:11.399 --> 01:30:13.960 goddamn question that you asked.

I 2039 01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:17.159 was disappointed they didn't renew it for the second season, 2040 01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:17.720 a third season. 2041 01:31:17.720 --> 01:31:19.760 I was like, third, I haven't watched the second yet. 2042 01:31:20.079 --> 01:31:23.000 The second fine, it's yeah, it's not as good as 2043 01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:23.479 the first. 2044 01:31:23.319 --> 01:31:29.159 Day the anyway. So Mike Ross and who's the like 2045 01:31:30.079 --> 01:31:36.720 pretty undiagnosed autistic blonde girl Katrina that they quote the 2046 01:31:36.760 --> 01:31:42.720 Wire like a dozen times through suits. It's a but 2047 01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:45.039 he doesn't know that Bunk is his father in law? 2048 01:31:47.920 --> 01:31:53.720 What the hell?

I 2055 01:32:08.600 --> 01:32:11.399 was like, what, you're just shoehorning in a reference here. 2056 01:32:11.399 --> 01:32:14.159 No one would actually speak this way. It's ridiculous. 2057 01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:16.880 The Billions did that as well. Where all Billions did 2058 01:32:16.920 --> 01:32:20.039 towards the end was just speak in like metaphors and 2059 01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:23.079 movie references and sports references, and everyone has seen and 2060 01:32:23.119 --> 01:32:25.880 read everything. At what point do you guys make any 2061 01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:29.439 fucking traits. You've just been sitting there studying the golden 2062 01:32:29.439 --> 01:32:31.560 age of Hollywood for the last forty years, and more 2063 01:32:31.560 --> 01:32:32.760 than Guy Davis. 2064 01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:34.840 I love that this show. This has now just evolved 2065 01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:37.720 into us ranting about the shows that have been on 2066 01:32:37.800 --> 01:32:39.479 in the time you've been away and how bad they are. 2067 01:32:40.880 --> 01:32:46.199 How Christmas he anyway, house MD, I told you that 2068 01:32:46.199 --> 01:32:50.159 there's a really good through line about a cop so 2069 01:32:50.239 --> 01:32:53.199 houses an asshole to a cop played by David Morse, 2070 01:32:53.319 --> 01:32:56.279 who if you know David Morse, you're nodding at me. 2071 01:32:56.359 --> 01:32:58.079 But for people that you know, it's not exactly a 2072 01:32:58.079 --> 01:32:59.800 household name. He's one of the cops in the Green 2073 01:33:00.279 --> 01:33:01.439 or one of the guards in the. 2074 01:33:01.439 --> 01:33:04.399 Green copies that one of the guards yeah yeah. 2075 01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:07.880 And for the younger generation, I think this was on 2076 01:33:07.920 --> 01:33:11.840 Netflix recently as well. He is the neighbor in the 2077 01:33:12.000 --> 01:33:15.520 Shila buff remake of Rear Window. 2078 01:33:15.520 --> 01:33:18.159 Disturbia Disturbia, Yes, the one.

Turns out that 2081 01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:26.319 he's yeah, he's a cop, and he starts coming at House. 2082 01:33:26.359 --> 01:33:29.439 He thinks he has a drug addiction. And there's Christmas 2083 01:33:29.479 --> 01:33:32.560 episode or one of the episodes set at Christmas time. 2084 01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:36.680 It's called Merry Little Christmas season three. Halfway through and 2085 01:33:38.039 --> 01:33:42.520 basically Wilson has delivered an ultimatum. So Wilson says, I'm 2086 01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:45.039 going to testify. I'm going to say that I have 2087 01:33:45.119 --> 01:33:47.880 been writing you, or that you stole my prescription pattern 2088 01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:49.920 wrote yourself like it in.

Blah blah blah. 2091 01:33:53.720 --> 01:33:57.760 House throws that back in their face. He then goes 2092 01:33:57.840 --> 01:34:00.960 cold turkey on Bikerting because he's basically just at home 2093 01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:03.319 and no one's going to help him anymore. And it's 2094 01:34:03.560 --> 01:34:06.760 this some really great acting from Q Laurie in it 2095 01:34:06.840 --> 01:34:09.399 to be perfectly honest. But they're still trying to work 2096 01:34:09.439 --> 01:34:11.279 on a case as well, so people come in to him, 2097 01:34:11.960 --> 01:34:16.840 just him going through these various stages of withdrawal. It's 2098 01:34:18.319 --> 01:34:21.640 you were talking about House always being snarky or like, 2099 01:34:21.720 --> 01:34:25.399 you know, and it is like it's that formula formulate 2100 01:34:25.800 --> 01:34:28.439 element of the show where he just keeps making quips 2101 01:34:28.439 --> 01:34:29.960 and he's wrong and he's wrong, and he's wrong until 2102 01:34:29.960 --> 01:34:33.039 he's right.

Oh mate, 2163 01:37:16.279 --> 01:37:19.439 don't don't listen to Rotten Tomatoes. It's just the whole. 2164 01:37:19.439 --> 01:37:20.760 Point four on IMDb. 2165 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:22.439 I don't know what it is that, whether they live 2166 01:37:22.479 --> 01:37:24.439 vi character through the characters or something. There's just something 2167 01:37:24.479 --> 01:37:27.479 about the show that has worked for majority of the audienors. 2168 01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:29.319 But man, I just couldn't We went through because I 2169 01:37:29.319 --> 01:37:31.359 when Nicola were seven seasons through, we have to finish 2170 01:37:31.359 --> 01:37:34.640 this now I can't just not finish it. Yeah, but man, oh, man, 2171 01:37:34.680 --> 01:37:38.039 and he's getting Harvey's getting his own spin off now. Oh, 2172 01:37:38.439 --> 01:37:43.000 I think it's a prequel to Suits the Main it's 2173 01:37:43.000 --> 01:37:43.760 the main guy, Harvey. 2174 01:37:43.960 --> 01:37:48.279 Yeah, yeah, Harvey Spector. Will they get Gabriel Mack to 2175 01:37:48.359 --> 01:37:50.640 play him, but they'll do the entire thing. And this 2176 01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:53.079 is my other favorite Suits trope. Whenever they do a 2177 01:37:53.119 --> 01:37:56.680 flashback that they will put the teams blue filter on, Yeah, 2178 01:37:57.239 --> 01:38:00.239 to make sure you know it's a flashback, like just 2179 01:38:00.279 --> 01:38:03.840 in case. Yes, we the wig didn't give it away 2180 01:38:03.880 --> 01:38:05.159 that we're ten years ago now. 2181 01:38:06.119 --> 01:38:07.880 So Pierce and She got her own show, which got 2182 01:38:07.920 --> 01:38:08.920 canceled pretty quickly. 2183 01:38:10.239 --> 01:38:13.359 I don't understand when, like in the scene before, Harvey 2184 01:38:13.439 --> 01:38:16.079 was a senior partner that now now he's only just 2185 01:38:16.600 --> 01:38:18.800 now he's now he's just in the mail room. How 2186 01:38:19.359 --> 01:38:22.319 the continuity doesn't make sense? Oh they put a filter 2187 01:38:22.479 --> 01:38:24.800 on for me. I get it now, that's what he 2188 01:38:24.920 --> 01:38:27.479 used to do. Oh now we're back in present day. 2189 01:38:27.760 --> 01:38:31.079 Thank you suits anyone that reviewed it, that's how imagine 2190 01:38:31.079 --> 01:38:33.000 anyone reviewed it positively. That's what they sound like. And 2191 01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:34.319 then they gave their TV a big. 2192 01:38:34.199 --> 01:38:40.119 Couple like bagging. It's called suits La. It's not. It's 2193 01:38:40.159 --> 01:38:42.039 not a prequel at all. I was incorrect. 2194 01:38:42.439 --> 01:38:42.920 It's enough. 2195 01:38:43.479 --> 01:38:46.039 His Garrison is and Stephen Rmel. 2196 01:38:47.000 --> 01:38:51.600 Who the fuck's that Arrow? Ah? Yeah, that's I. 2197 01:38:51.600 --> 01:38:53.119 Think it's because it looks like Mike. It's like we're 2198 01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:55.399 gonna get actors that look like these guys. 2199 01:38:57.680 --> 01:38:59.840 Arrow could also have been written by AI, so that 2200 01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:00.399 make sense. 2201 01:39:00.479 --> 01:39:03.920 Josh McDermott is in there the dufust from Walking Dead. 2202 01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:06.439 It was lying in the third season or whatever. It 2203 01:39:06.479 --> 01:39:08.119 is like I know, I know where the lab is. 2204 01:39:08.119 --> 01:39:10.319 I'm a scientist or whatever. And he wasn't actually a scientist. 2205 01:39:10.439 --> 01:39:15.079 Ah that guy? Yeah right. Gabriel Mack Noh yeah, okay, 2206 01:39:15.119 --> 01:39:17.439 So Gabriel Mack is in it as Harvey Spector. 2207 01:39:17.520 --> 01:39:20.319 Yeah, okay, so maybe he maybe he's just gonna be 2208 01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:22.079 in a few episodes. Who knows, like they'll they'll have 2209 01:39:22.159 --> 01:39:24.560 some sort of crossover, but I think they're trying to 2210 01:39:24.560 --> 01:39:28.840 create like a Law and Order multiverse, probably with suits. Yeah, okay, 2211 01:39:29.640 --> 01:39:31.960 doesn't have the old Dick Wolf stamp of approval though, 2212 01:39:32.000 --> 01:39:32.680 so good luck. 2213 01:39:33.399 --> 01:39:34.800 He's not going to be able to get a bagel 2214 01:39:34.840 --> 01:39:37.399 if he's in La Whatt's his go to morning tea 2215 01:39:37.520 --> 01:39:42.119 going to be? Sorry? The other thing, Oh yeah, right, sorry, 2216 01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:44.560 Josh mcdermot's had a haircut, so he doesn't look anything 2217 01:39:44.640 --> 01:39:47.479 like what he did in Walking Dead. Okay, the other 2218 01:39:47.520 --> 01:39:51.159 thing from Suits, and I can only imagine that it 2219 01:39:51.319 --> 01:39:55.079 was like, well, we've paid for these locations and these sets, 2220 01:39:55.119 --> 01:39:58.399 we're going to use them. That ninety percent of it 2221 01:39:58.479 --> 01:40:00.920 was people coming to say one's house to have a 2222 01:40:00.960 --> 01:40:03.359 conversation that should have been a phone call, Like someone 2223 01:40:03.439 --> 01:40:05.119 rocks up at your house at ten thirty at night 2224 01:40:05.960 --> 01:40:07.039 to say three lines and. 2225 01:40:07.079 --> 01:40:10.039 Leave and then just fucking and just walk off exactly, Yeah, 2226 01:40:10.319 --> 01:40:13.239 walking and throw the blue folder on the on the table, 2227 01:40:13.319 --> 01:40:13.920 walk out. 2228 01:40:13.840 --> 01:40:16.319 Like when did suits?

They would have 2232 01:40:24.720 --> 01:40:25.319 had six of them. 2233 01:40:25.359 --> 01:40:27.039 Well, I see I live suits at the start because 2234 01:40:27.079 --> 01:40:29.560 it was you know, it was a regular show in 2235 01:40:29.600 --> 01:40:31.239 the sense that each episode just felt like it lived 2236 01:40:31.279 --> 01:40:34.199 in its own bubble where they had to crack a case. 2237 01:40:34.479 --> 01:40:36.239 By the end of it, it was just all, like you said, 2238 01:40:36.359 --> 01:40:39.079 angst in house drama that had nothing, but they were 2239 01:40:39.399 --> 01:40:41.359 burning their own house down from within. He's just like, 2240 01:40:41.479 --> 01:40:42.960 what the fuck is going on? 2241 01:40:43.760 --> 01:40:48.680 It was also a lot of they couldn't get themselves 2242 01:40:48.680 --> 01:40:53.000 away from their will they won't they storyline, And if 2243 01:40:53.000 --> 01:40:57.920 it wasn't will they won't they about Mike and the 2244 01:40:57.960 --> 01:41:01.760 Princess Duchess thank you Rachel, then it was well they 2245 01:41:01.800 --> 01:41:03.800 won't they about will might get caught?

But all it does now is served to 2253 01:41:24.880 --> 01:41:28.560 remind you of how weird of a career blow up 2254 01:41:28.640 --> 01:41:29.640 Catherine Heichel had. 2255 01:41:29.880 --> 01:41:34.159 Apparently it was her own doing though, Yeah, yeah. 2256 01:41:34.199 --> 01:41:37.319 More or less like she just kept not kept, But 2257 01:41:37.399 --> 01:41:39.840 she had a couple of fairly famous instances of shitting 2258 01:41:39.840 --> 01:41:40.880 on people that she worked with. 2259 01:41:41.720 --> 01:41:43.520 I was reading like, hard to deal with, hard to 2260 01:41:43.560 --> 01:41:45.560 work with. Once you've got I feel like, once you've 2261 01:41:45.560 --> 01:41:47.560 got that rep, it's really hard to get rid of it. 2262 01:41:47.960 --> 01:41:51.600 Yeah, like you'd want to be very very good. You 2263 01:41:51.640 --> 01:41:53.279 can't just be middle of the road good. 2264 01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:55.239 Tom Cruise could be Tom Cruise could be hard to 2265 01:41:55.279 --> 01:41:56.319 work with totally. 2266 01:41:58.000 --> 01:42:00.520 Meryl Street could be hard to work with. I doubt 2267 01:42:00.560 --> 01:42:02.800 she is, but she could be. She could be a 2268 01:42:02.840 --> 01:42:05.439 bitch to everyone. Yeah, it's the price you pay. It's 2269 01:42:05.439 --> 01:42:09.880 Meryl stoop. Anyway, I am going to go start putting 2270 01:42:09.880 --> 01:42:14.479 together a trampoline. Oh biggest Christmas gift for Lex which 2271 01:42:14.479 --> 01:42:19.279 I'm looking forward to. Is it a big one, decent size? Yeah, 2272 01:42:19.560 --> 01:42:22.359 like it's it will serve her for many years. 2273 01:42:22.880 --> 01:42:25.520 Nice. We would, we would, but kids are one of 2274 01:42:25.520 --> 01:42:27.600 my parents plays. But the backyard's just too small here. 2275 01:42:28.000 --> 01:42:30.159 They would just literally be you know, because we've got 2276 01:42:30.159 --> 01:42:31.520 the big deck and they've got the cover over the 2277 01:42:31.520 --> 01:42:33.520 deck now, so it's just yeah, there's no way way 2278 01:42:33.560 --> 01:42:33.920 to put it. 2279 01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:35.960 Good for catching practice though, for Elliott, even if you 2280 01:42:36.000 --> 01:42:38.279 just go down to the dad's love a couple of 2281 01:42:38.319 --> 01:42:39.079 balls that way. 2282 01:42:38.960 --> 01:42:41.560 He watches Bluey Obviously he's watched the cricket episode.

You know, I find with modern 2316 01:43:55.520 --> 01:43:58.359 day Simpsons a lot of screen rants, and that just 2317 01:43:58.399 --> 01:44:00.319 really talk it up because I feel a lot of 2318 01:44:00.359 --> 01:44:03.039 the show's creators now are constantly on social media, just 2319 01:44:03.079 --> 01:44:05.279 looking for any praise they can find to retweet and 2320 01:44:05.279 --> 01:44:08.039 reshare in their personal pages. So all these pages, all 2321 01:44:08.079 --> 01:44:10.560 these websites like screen rant and comic book dot com, 2322 01:44:10.640 --> 01:44:13.520 they just overinflate the egos of these people to say 2323 01:44:13.680 --> 01:44:16.399 it's like the greatest thing, and it's just like it's not. 2324 01:44:16.840 --> 01:44:20.840 It's fine, it's okay, it's not the greatest. What was 2325 01:44:20.960 --> 01:44:22.479 What was there one line of some of the lines 2326 01:44:22.479 --> 01:44:24.920 of was one of the greatest. Here we go the 2327 01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:28.359 Simpsons Christmas version review screen rant oh, come on all 2328 01:44:28.439 --> 01:44:32.640 year Faithful is an unforgettable master class an animated comedy storytelling, 2329 01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:37.960 an unforgettable masterclass. Come on, guys, it's fine. It's a 2330 01:44:38.000 --> 01:44:42.600 solid six. It's not a modern day master class. What 2331 01:44:42.640 --> 01:44:43.319 are we doing here? 2332 01:44:43.760 --> 01:44:45.680 You'd marry, you'll marry a solid six. 2333 01:44:49.359 --> 01:44:51.039 But anyway, but our review will not be that. 2334 01:44:52.479 --> 01:44:55.560 I was on the Disney Plus and I didn't know 2335 01:44:55.720 --> 01:44:57.880 how long has season one not been season one?

Season one is like season ninety nine. 2337 01:45:00.640 --> 01:45:02.960 They buried it way down the bottom of Disney, not 2338 01:45:03.039 --> 01:45:05.720 on mine. I don't know why yours of mine would 2339 01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:06.319 be any different. 2340 01:45:07.199 --> 01:45:08.920 Let me go to the Disney Plus.

It was just their season one. 2343 01:45:15.479 --> 01:45:16.840 This has been a glitch because so many people are 2344 01:45:16.840 --> 01:45:18.279 trying to watch it. Let's have a look.

But I remember I 2432 01:49:30.560 --> 01:49:32.600 was I was singing all the stage. I was hanging 2433 01:49:32.600 --> 01:49:36.920 out with my friend savvy Steve, just chilling on his couch, 2434 01:49:37.039 --> 01:49:41.279 you know, probably drinking and maybe even smoking stuff like cigarettes, 2435 01:49:42.199 --> 01:49:44.680 not not jazz cigarettes, but regular cigarettes. 2436 01:49:44.720 --> 01:49:49.119 And enjoying like a hello jet, jet's getting very friendly. 2437 01:49:50.279 --> 01:49:52.479 Hey there, buddy, I see his tail was waging.

Many particular favorite moments 2465 01:51:04.439 --> 01:51:07.079 for you just on the podcast Just in Life. 2466 01:51:07.159 --> 01:51:09.159 I know what you mean, Yeah, I mean, but this 2467 01:51:09.239 --> 01:51:12.319 is podcast related. I like that we sort of expanded 2468 01:51:12.479 --> 01:51:15.680 the four Finger Discount universe to be talking about because 2469 01:51:15.680 --> 01:51:17.119 we you know, we talk about the Simpsons in South 2470 01:51:17.159 --> 01:51:19.359 Park and all these various shows and that. But you know, 2471 01:51:19.479 --> 01:51:22.359 a lot of our a lot of our personal life 2472 01:51:22.359 --> 01:51:24.680 has been coming corporated into the shows, but also just 2473 01:51:24.720 --> 01:51:27.760 the everyday ship that we do, particularly around Geelong. I 2474 01:51:27.760 --> 01:51:29.840 mean a lot of people listening around the world, going 2475 01:51:30.159 --> 01:51:31.560 these local references. 2476 01:51:31.119 --> 01:51:32.760 For local people, what the hell are they talking to you? 2477 01:51:32.840 --> 01:51:36.199 Pale faced guy and pale guys. The fact that you know, 2478 01:51:36.279 --> 01:51:39.319 he becomes the characters, a supporting character in the in 2479 01:51:39.359 --> 01:51:39.720 the fourth. 2480 01:51:43.319 --> 01:51:46.199 But yeah, the fact that I would say, oh, because 2481 01:51:46.239 --> 01:51:49.199 you know, this coal supermarket is what maybe what three 2482 01:51:49.279 --> 01:51:50.399 or four k from. 2483 01:51:50.520 --> 01:51:53.359 Five minute drive. Yeah, as as a lot of playing 2484 01:51:53.479 --> 01:51:55.800 places in Geelong, it's a five minute drive from from 2485 01:51:55.840 --> 01:51:57.920 when you're closer to the city we've called the city. 2486 01:51:57.960 --> 01:51:58.800 It's just everything's close. 2487 01:51:59.159 --> 01:52:02.079 But this supermarket is close to both where Dandel and 2488 01:52:02.119 --> 01:52:05.960 I live. We both frequent it. And I said, there's 2489 01:52:05.960 --> 01:52:08.760 this guy really good at his job. I'm talking about 2490 01:52:08.760 --> 01:52:12.880 the pale guy. I think it's one of the good 2491 01:52:12.880 --> 01:52:16.319 things about living in I mean, Geelong likes to build itself. 2492 01:52:16.319 --> 01:52:18.520 It's a regional city, so it's not a small town. 2493 01:52:18.560 --> 01:52:20.199 But having said that, it does have a little bit 2494 01:52:20.199 --> 01:52:23.319 of a small town mentality in that everybody can't not 2495 01:52:23.359 --> 01:52:26.560 everybody knows everybody, but there's three degrees. 2496 01:52:26.239 --> 01:52:27.840 Of separation opposed to sex. 2497 01:52:28.399 --> 01:52:30.039 Yeah, and the fact that you know, we're able to 2498 01:52:30.079 --> 01:52:32.640 say pale guy and you know who pale guy is, 2499 01:52:32.960 --> 01:52:35.920 I think is great. It's something that I just think 2500 01:52:35.920 --> 01:52:39.039 it adds something nice to the show. It does and 2501 01:52:39.079 --> 01:52:39.720 to our conversation. 2502 01:52:39.800 --> 01:52:42.159 And then you brought up weird Maskid and and then 2503 01:52:42.199 --> 01:52:45.359 then and then there's weird maskd Fuck that guy. No, No, 2504 01:52:45.720 --> 01:52:48.000 he's cool as well, but he's not. He's no Pale Guy. 2505 01:52:48.319 --> 01:52:52.000 He doesn't help you. No, he's like if I must, 2506 01:52:52.159 --> 01:52:55.359 But Pale Guy's like, who help? Who help? He's who 2507 01:52:55.399 --> 01:52:58.319 you want on your team. Oh, he's a self start 2508 01:52:58.319 --> 01:53:00.840 of that guy. He's he's the one where they everyone 2509 01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:04.039 just knows. I'm Colin sick. I'll call Pale Guy.
