Speaker 2: Days in between, and then on Christmas Day, Lou and
Speaker 2: I will head down to bar and Heads, where if
Speaker 2: everything goes according to plan, which sometimes it doesn't, we
Speaker 2: will be spending Christmas Day at the house of my
Speaker 2: big sister Joanne. Everyone will bring a plate by myself
Speaker 2: and making the mac and cheese that was a big hit.
Speaker 1: Don't over this time.
Speaker 2: I didn't slip over the last time, but it came very,
Speaker 2: very close. But that's because it started like raining a
Speaker 2: monsoon on Christmas Day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been really wark, so I've got plenty of
Speaker 1: Christmas ugly sweaters and normally people go it's warm and
Speaker 1: a shoga, yeah, but it's usually overcast enough to be
Speaker 1: able to wor a jumper. It's been hot. It has been.
Speaker 1: We had like a really stinking hot day. Going to
Speaker 1: be thirty six today. I heard it was going to
Speaker 1: be like thirty one, but now it's gonna be thirty
Speaker 1: thirty six. Let's wrap this up. A guy rocks up
Speaker 1: on a long sleeve shirt. Though, what are you doing, buddy, Well,
Speaker 1: you know we're doing the Christmas special, we're doing doing
Speaker 1: the movie guide. You always just as up for the
Speaker 1: movie guide. I want to look nice splended, So that
Speaker 1: was me doing coust blinded.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that'll be that, and that there will just
Speaker 2: be a lot of lazing on the couch and so yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's what we're planning.
Speaker 1: How about you. Yeah, Well, the kids, they seem to
Speaker 1: be getting up early and earlier each Christmas. I feel
Speaker 1: they're gonna be up at like six this year. Because
Speaker 1: my parents go, what are we doing for Christmas Morning?
Speaker 1: I said, what the hell? I cart just fell off
Speaker 1: the wall. I thought the bird flying. I was like,
Speaker 1: what the hell? I thought it was the biggest moth
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, like roof's leaking, muster flying around Christmas
Speaker 1: mirror rebuilding the ship. But so my parents go, so
Speaker 1: we times Christmas morning? I said, like, kids probably get
Speaker 1: up like six six thirty. They said, I'd make them
Speaker 1: wait till like seven seven thirty. I'm like, kids ain't
Speaker 1: gonna be waiting. If you want to see them opening presents,
Speaker 1: you get here.
Speaker 2: Then making small children wait on Christmas morning? It was
Speaker 2: an ebony Scrooge and who's missus degle Degal?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it? Bomb? Her theme's awesome, but it's
Speaker 1: going to be a very early Christmas morning. I think here,
Speaker 1: kid's going to go crazy. We've got alliott cricket bat
Speaker 1: like a wooden cricket bat, a pop a cricket bat,
Speaker 1: a cricket helmet is a theme here, cricket pants, cricket
Speaker 1: test shirt, cricket balls. It's clearly into swimming from the
Speaker 1: big Lebaska. Clearly you're not a golfer. And Holly has
Speaker 1: just got her various barbie things and makeups. Yeah, we've
Speaker 1: got a new bike, her first proper bike for training wheels. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's that's exciting. She's like, well, she doesn't She
Speaker 1: kept saying short a bike til Sands and she's like,
Speaker 1: I didn't bring me one. I've been I'm on the
Speaker 1: bad list. I was like, why are the badge goes?
Speaker 1: I don't go to bed early. Like, well, there's one
Speaker 1: way to fix that. Holly go to bed early and
Speaker 1: go to sleep because she is a nightmare at bedtime. So,
Speaker 1: because we've got the double bed night out now, So
Speaker 1: we ask Eliot. He says she's a nightmare because they
Speaker 1: sleep in the same double bed now, because we've got
Speaker 1: a bunk bed double bed down the bottom. And ever
Speaker 1: since then, Holly. She just pesters him and she can't
Speaker 1: go to sleep and she kicks him. And so wait,
Speaker 1: she got the lower they're both on the bottom.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, but was it originally designed to be
Speaker 2: like someone's up top, someone's down there?
Speaker 1: Not until Ali. It's a bit older because he sometimes
Speaker 1: sits up in his sleep and he's sort of he's awake,
Speaker 1: but he's not awake. You don't want to crack the
Speaker 1: ceiling or exactly yeah, yeah, or fourth the edge.
Speaker 2: I suppose that's also also potentially a problem. One of
Speaker 2: these people does not have children.
Speaker 1: Speaking of cricket, though, it took Ali to the cricket
Speaker 1: last night in Geelong why to torturing. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1: He likes cricket, So I'm like everybody else, and I
Speaker 1: feel like even someone who doesn't like cricket would enjoy
Speaker 1: the Big Bash live. That's because it's quick. It's quick,
Speaker 1: so it's twenty overs. It's called Big Bash because you
Speaker 1: have to just bash it. So every boll that's trying
Speaker 1: to hit a six and a four, if you if you.
Speaker 2: Want to get runs, yeah, you better bash it. Bash it, yeah,
Speaker 2: and you better bash it. You most bashed Big Lee
Speaker 2: big ly bashing.
Speaker 1: Bash to the big No, no, we won't talk about
Speaker 1: political stuff, okay, but so like every time they hit
Speaker 1: a four or six, fireworks are going off and there's
Speaker 1: flames and shiit. That sounds a little busy, but but
Speaker 1: sounds also like fun. It's youngsters, it's insane. It's really
Speaker 1: good though.
Speaker 2: See I'm old enough to remember back in the nineteen
Speaker 2: ship and when One Day Cricket was introduced and World
Speaker 2: Series Cricket and all that, even with someone like me
Speaker 2: who was not interested, like, oh so it's it's quick,
Speaker 2: it's one and done.
Speaker 1: And they're wearing colors and they were it's colorful.
Speaker 2: I can actually tell which team is which, as opposed
Speaker 2: to it's just a bunch of white suits.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Days, I'm not making players five days in events?
Speaker 1: What's going I'm going to make a meme with someone
Speaker 1: talking about a Test match, but it's home as five dollars,
Speaker 1: get out of here. You're very good at the memes.
Speaker 1: You did a very good raygun meme last night. Was
Speaker 1: I reshare? Someone said that to me, Yeah, no worry, bet,
Speaker 1: but it was good.
Speaker 2: It was a good one. It was a good one.
Speaker 2: And well I'm glad Elliott had a good time at
Speaker 2: the Big Back.
Speaker 1: He'd loved it. He got to meet his favorite player
Speaker 1: before the game and started. He was walking around and
Speaker 1: I said, his name is Jake Fraser McGirk is his favorite.
Speaker 1: He's he's my favorite player based on that name. So
Speaker 1: he's twenty one and you see it was cricket now, right,
Speaker 1: So I know you don't care about cricket. But India
Speaker 1: had this their version of the BBO called the IPL right,
Speaker 1: and its essentially lift golf. So they get the best
Speaker 1: players around the word, paying a shipload of money and
Speaker 1: they all they have it there, right, So he this
Speaker 1: phrase McGirk twenty one years old. He's contract for the
Speaker 1: next I think it's like a two month tournament one
Speaker 1: point two six million dollars. So Jake Fraser McGirk said, bag, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know right. So and you know why because he
Speaker 1: just bashes it. That's Ali goes he's good. Said why
Speaker 1: why is he your favorite? He just bashes it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's all kids want now, just bash it, just bash it.
Speaker 1: That none of this you know, black Eye playing only
Speaker 1: understands his rules, Like I'd rather see people pit sixers.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 2: You can play the long game, but sometimes you just
Speaker 2: want to grip it and rip it man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Hey, well done.
Speaker 2: Jake Fraser mcgurg and well done Elliot for having a
Speaker 2: good time at the cricket. Well done you for taking
Speaker 2: him to the cricket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God to meet his favorite player. Sign I said,
Speaker 1: make sure I say thank you so thinking he goes
Speaker 1: good Man is buddy, great work. And Ali's like, oh god,
Speaker 1: he spoke to me. It's important news. Good matter's because
Speaker 1: so many kids just go to sign this. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: how many?
Speaker 2: I as everyone knows, not a parrot, but I've had
Speaker 2: influence over certain children in my life.
Speaker 1: It's got me in trouble. No, no, no.
Speaker 2: The one thing I've always told any person I can
Speaker 2: be a role model to basic manners. It will get
Speaker 2: you ahead of ninety percent of people in life.
Speaker 1: It does, and it costs nothing.
Speaker 2: It costs nothing, and it shows that you are a
Speaker 2: person of character. And I'm sorry, I know, I know,
Speaker 2: I sound like I'm handing out word as candies today.
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, No, it's a legit likely so
Speaker 1: many friends who have kids and they just don't have manners.
Speaker 1: And now friends don't pull them up for it, and
Speaker 1: I always sometimes feel sometimes I sometimes feel I should
Speaker 1: say that Nicko and I maybe were a bit too
Speaker 1: harsh because every time they want something, we go, what
Speaker 1: do you say? Please? Thank you? Always constantly reminding them right.
Speaker 1: But then when we go to someone's house and they go,
Speaker 1: can I please have a drink? They go what lovely manners?
Speaker 1: It's like they're blown away. Oh my god, this child
Speaker 1: said please. Now, this is basic programming, this is this
Speaker 1: is the core os. Yeah you So yesterday Aliot had
Speaker 1: his Christmas celebration at school and they're handing out bags
Speaker 1: of lollies and Ali goes, thank you. He was the
Speaker 1: only one said thank you, and she goes, you can
Speaker 1: have two because you used your manners. I was like,
Speaker 1: holy shit, I've broken the matrix.
Speaker 2: Manners are of course their own reward, yeah, but sometimes
Speaker 2: you get an actual reward.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was quite funny because they go there's a
Speaker 1: special guest coming later, and everyone's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's Santa Claus, right, And they said Santa Claus is
Speaker 1: going to make an appearance, and Santa this comings ound
Speaker 1: is coming. It was just one of the teachers didn't
Speaker 1: even put a bed on. Everyone's like, ah, there's just
Speaker 1: this guy didn't put a bed on it. And I
Speaker 1: get he has a bed, but it's like it's more
Speaker 1: like a hipster brown stubble beard. It's not a bid
Speaker 1: Santa Beard. And everyone just went it's not the real Santa. Look.
Speaker 2: I say, with all due respect to this teacher and
Speaker 2: this this stuff, because teaching is a tough gig. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're sucking up.
Speaker 1: I said, I said to it. I was sort of
Speaker 1: baffled by it. I went to Nicola. Maybe it's because
Speaker 1: because I think he seems like the cool teacher. I
Speaker 1: think he wanted everyone to know it's me. Guys, it's
Speaker 1: the it's the cool guy, you know they want everyone
Speaker 1: loves it's me being sand I think that's what it
Speaker 1: was going for.
Speaker 2: Well, guess what if you're that cool, they'll be able
Speaker 2: to see it's you through the Santa suit and play along.
Speaker 1: Put the Santa suit on. Yeah, hear the Santa suit on?
Speaker 1: But no bed. I went, eh, yeah, not buying it, guy,
Speaker 1: not buying it. No, But Leonard's going to be very here,
Speaker 1: very very soon. That's correct. Yeah, we're just riff it.
Speaker 1: We're kind of vamping because this is going to be
Speaker 1: the longestchrist Special of all time, but it's gonna be
Speaker 1: the best one. As I said, You're not gonna be
Speaker 1: doing the longest part. I'm go doing parts of other
Speaker 1: people and they're going to combine all together like a
Speaker 1: fantastic Christmas specially that's correct.
Speaker 2: Yes, as mentioned, Yeah, our significant others are going to
Speaker 2: be there.
Speaker 1: I'm dropping this on Christmas Eve. So what do you reckon?
Speaker 1: You're doing right now? What am I doing right now?
Speaker 1: It's gonna be I am either curl.
Speaker 2: Them on the couch with the lovely Luise watching something
Speaker 2: ninety day related, or I'm at my place giving Lou
Speaker 2: and the kids a bit of space before we all.

Speaker 1: We're having a unique Christmas Eve because tell me more,
Speaker 1: what my mom's side of the family know, you have
Speaker 1: families just have sort of like tension and riffs sometimes
Speaker 1: and whatnot right and sometimes for many years, my mum
Speaker 1: and various siblings of hers just note that they didn't
Speaker 1: like it, but they just didn't hang out anymore, Like
Speaker 1: something happened terrible for you many years ago, and it
Speaker 1: just sort of the family just wasn't the same afterwards,
Speaker 1: and that this year we're going to my auntie, my
Speaker 1: auntie Nancy's house for Christmas Eve, and I went, oh, okay,

Speaker 1: I was just like, ah, it's a time of years,
Speaker 1: like are they hanging spending time? Okay?
Speaker 2: Cool, It's it's the time of year for all reunions
Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: we're living in an increasingly cynical age and all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. So it's nice that and even Christmas
Speaker 2: gets kind of a little bit okay yeah a ho
Speaker 2: ho home blah blah blah. But honestly, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: it is the kind of year. It is the time
Speaker 2: of year when you get a bit of shorthands.
Speaker 1: Like maybe we should be a bit nicer to each other,
Speaker 1: and yeah, why aren't we talking? Why are we talking?
Speaker 2: You know, it was like I was gonna say something,
Speaker 2: I bring the moved down. I'm not gonna do it,

Speaker 2: few days ago.

Speaker 1: three bucks, and hands were made it a way forget it.
Speaker 1: We walked, we're walking. Yeah, we've never forgotten. No.
Speaker 2: I think it speaks buyings about how smooth a ride
Speaker 2: our relationship has been.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the things that causes a little bit of adjuta
Speaker 2: were like, ah, it made me run in the rain
Speaker 2: to get back to our hotel. Admittedly it was really
Speaker 2: heavy rain and we did get really really so, so
Speaker 2: I can't understand why she'd be a bit pissed off.
Speaker 1: You go home and everybody was all slippery. I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, well now what yes, no, but that that
Speaker 1: was our first obously holiday together. It is I like,

Speaker 1: us doing a toast with our drinks, with our anniversary dinners.
Speaker 1: Ah and go way to the food comes out and
Speaker 1: then do the photo. Oh and it's one that you
Speaker 1: repeat regularly, Nicholas. That's what we always do. It's not
Speaker 1: like we deliberately do it. But I've realized. I went
Speaker 1: because we made hard drives for Nicholas, because Nicola posted
Speaker 1: a big box over to England for Christmas this year.
Speaker 1: I made a hard drive of basically every photo from
Speaker 1: the kids onwards. It's like all and from all their phones. W.
Speaker 1: I was like, every anniversary, literally do that the same
Speaker 1: photo with it. I was like, along with that, it's
Speaker 1: just subconscious to become a thing. It's a tradition. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and tradition is not necessarily Sunday night Rol absolute legend,
Speaker 1: but also love Louise, absolute legend. It was honestly, it
Speaker 1: was just it was a weird bok. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is the first one I'm hearing her speak.
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, you have and now we're as well.

Speaker 1: not going to talk about all the shanannigans that happened

Speaker 1: Fresh just out of the Better Watch Better straight from China. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that if this was an episode
Speaker 1: of House we was an episode where all these kids
Speaker 1: started getting sick, and it's because they had bought shirts
Speaker 1: or something and put the shirts on they brought from China,
Speaker 1: Like you didn't wash him first from China? Did I
Speaker 1: tell you about the thing that I saw the other day?
Speaker 2: It was like a TikTok video of a Chinese guy
Speaker 2: like in a in a warehouse or a factory or something,
Speaker 2: speaking Spanish but in a trump accent, wearing a Trump wig.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I think I think his business sells like the like
Speaker 2: big illuminated letters that you put on your wall or something. Okay,
Speaker 2: and look it was he was speaking flawless Spanish I'll
Speaker 2: see if I can find it for you.
Speaker 1: But he's doing the trump gest and hands, isn't it.
Speaker 1: But you're doing the little hands you go geanautin geinatte.
Speaker 1: That sounds great. I don't think I'm gonna et other
Speaker 1: because that's that's here say. But it was just he
Speaker 1: has nailed and I said, look, if this is the
Speaker 1: end product of globalization, let it happen. Hand open all
Speaker 1: the borders. Sometimes you watch things and you just think
Speaker 1: to yourself, this is what the Internet was made for.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I said to you. The face apps, the
Speaker 1: filters that make your face change or whatnot. Have you
Speaker 1: seen the moment makes you cry? No, it makes you
Speaker 1: look like you're crying. Oh my god. Ah, I'll show
Speaker 1: you a video of this, but i'll show later. But
Speaker 1: basically it's it's a filter and the more you smile,
Speaker 1: the more it makes it look like you're upset and crying. Oh. No,
Speaker 1: face filters for like that. That's peak technology to me.
Speaker 1: I'll feel a cardio too. I'll open up the said
Speaker 1: card Oh look, there's not much in that. It says
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to Dano, wishing you Merry Christmas and all
Speaker 1: the best for twenty twenty five. Cheers guy, next man,
Speaker 1: I didn't get you a card. I'm one of those
Speaker 1: people who go, I'd rather spend extra money on the
Speaker 1: present than bother with a card. You know what I mean? Oh, Nicholas,
Speaker 1: all about cards. I like getting cards, but I always
Speaker 1: just go no.
Speaker 2: I think I've reached that stage as well, or where
Speaker 2: I recognize the like, look, the cards are nice, little
Speaker 2: it's garnish.
Speaker 1: Nicolaie keeps all the cards. She's got a box in
Speaker 1: our wardrobe. I'm talking it's just full of every Christmas card.
Speaker 1: She just keeps more good for her, she says when
Speaker 1: she goes, aren't you glad that I've got kept all
Speaker 1: the cards you got from your name? And I was like,
Speaker 1: you do make a good point.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, she's she's not done me that late.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I've realized the people are going
Speaker 2: to go, hey, that's nice, thank you very much, and
Speaker 2: then throw it to one.
Speaker 1: So never buy a kid a card about a card.
Speaker 2: No, the only reason that lose kids are getting cards
Speaker 2: is because I'm slipping a fifty inteach of them.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: But so I just went where I got my Christmas
Speaker 2: lights at Aldi, and they also had a box of
Speaker 2: like ten cards, and I'm like, that's pretty much all
Speaker 2: I'm going to need. Yeah, anyway, but yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: fantastic gift and I really appreciate today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did all right by each other. I remember
Speaker 1: you were saying to me, when it comes to movie
Speaker 1: shirts or whatnot, you like having things that are from
Speaker 1: a film, so for example, like a food franchise or something.
Speaker 1: But everyone's looking for clothes for you. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: would like this, but I'm always most people go, I
Speaker 1: don't want to buy a shirt for somebody in case
Speaker 1: I don't like this shirt. It's a really good point.
Speaker 1: Buying clothes for people. Oh yeah, Now, clothes is a
Speaker 1: very it's a very dicey proposition. I'm like, this isn't
Speaker 1: from Country Road, and the answer is not. But if
Speaker 1: someone brought you a themed shirt, do you think you
Speaker 1: would wear it if it was the right one, If
Speaker 1: it was the right one, certainly? I mean, is there
Speaker 1: a franchise or anything from a movie that you always
Speaker 1: wish there was a shirt of Oh.
Speaker 2: That's a really good point, because I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 2: name check some people. These are not friends of the Pod,
Speaker 2: although I become friend of the pod last Exit to Nowhere.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I mentioned.
Speaker 1: This this site before. They're the sort of the first
Speaker 1: ones to really do that thing that I'm talking about
Speaker 1: where it's like I just had vibes of like a
Speaker 1: rotten dot com. That's what I thought Last Exit to
Speaker 1: know it. It sounds like, don't go here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds sketchy and wrong. Yeah, but no, it's
Speaker 2: it's a legit good site. And I've got so many
Speaker 2: of the t shirts because they're good quality shirts.
Speaker 1: I think this is a good quality shirt is red
Speaker 1: one had it when you buy it and the shirts
Speaker 1: are kind of stiff. Oh yeah, yeah, you're not flexible. Yeah.
Speaker 2: One of the first shirts I bought from Last Exit
Speaker 2: was it's paper street Soap come from fight Club.
Speaker 1: I think you might have mentioned that.
Speaker 2: I probably wore it once and I think I got
Speaker 2: it when I was a little huskier. So it's a
Speaker 2: I've got a big ass one and sometimes it's like
Speaker 2: sometimes it's fits just red and sometimes like this is
Speaker 2: floating on me.
Speaker 1: It's one of those ones that you can put it
Speaker 1: on and put a jacket over the top. That's a
Speaker 1: good point at least you can see the logo still.
Speaker 2: I think when I was a little bit leaner, I
Speaker 2: was like, I really late my fake club T shirt
Speaker 2: because the shirts that I'm itchy and cool, but you know,
Speaker 2: this one's really floating on me. I'll get one that's
Speaker 2: a little you know, Lena, Little Lena a little fits
Speaker 2: my body type a bit more. But I didn't go
Speaker 2: to Last Eggs and I went to I don't think
Speaker 2: I went to Red Bubble. I think I went to
Speaker 2: some like a team who say Gina and got it
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, this logo is not quite right
Speaker 2: and this material is a little scratchy, and yeah, go
Speaker 2: go with what you know, man, go with the go
Speaker 2: with your yeah, the name you can trust.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I bought some shirts recently from They say they
Speaker 1: ship from California. The ship from California. There's some guy
Speaker 1: making shirts in Sydney and he hides behind the whole
Speaker 1: we' shiving from California. So due to the expensive shipping,
Speaker 1: we can't do refunds. And I'm like, return level on
Speaker 1: this postal parcels says Sydney. So we said he's back
Speaker 1: to there because these shirts are ship quality, and yeah,
Speaker 1: because the photos in you can tell when a shirt
Speaker 1: on the photo, you can tell it's like a flexible
Speaker 1: one or it was all like a sort of stiff
Speaker 1: shitty one. And it looks really loose fitting and really
Speaker 1: nice and comfortable on the picture. Of course I get
Speaker 1: it and I go, oh, it's this And the pictures
Speaker 1: like twice is half the size of what it was
Speaker 1: on the picture. In the picture, the logo design goes
Speaker 1: from top to bottom of the shirt. This is like
Speaker 1: in the middle. Ah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2: Nah, no thanks, but yeah, my recommendation name you can
Speaker 2: dress last Eggs no where.
Speaker 1: So apparently red Bubble as well. But even red Bubble
Speaker 1: is a bit like Etsy and Bootleg, isn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's got various creators. Yes, yes, I created this one.
Speaker 1: They did a very good, very good job. I'll take
Speaker 1: a photo of this and put it, put it in
Speaker 1: the Patreon group, and a picture of my book and
Speaker 1: put it. That's a really cool shirt because you can
Speaker 1: also wear it not at Christmas time. It's a Christmas shirt.
Speaker 1: That's also just a cool shirts in July. You could
Speaker 1: do that. People say it's Christmas in July. It's just
Speaker 1: a cool shirt. Isn't it. I think everyone I know
Speaker 1: you like home alone, and I know you're not being naked,
Speaker 1: so all right, Well, there's gift gigging for this year.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do giggity again. That's going to
Speaker 1: be a recurring thing, the gift gigging. It's some of
Speaker 1: the gift gig Yes, So I was kind of hoping.
Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't have this die Hard book already.
Speaker 1: I do not. Now I do because I gave you
Speaker 1: that out of the book. What's book I gave you
Speaker 1: last year, last birthday? What was the moon lighting we
Speaker 1: likening one? That's right? Yeah, And I was like, he's
Speaker 1: surely got this book.

Speaker 1: already made you, guys are wear on. The podcast got

Speaker 1: direction in here, and they can't let people get out
Speaker 1: until these people. They can't let people come in until

Speaker 9: about three houses in before she was snoring.
Speaker 1: True to form, she always falls asleep in the first
Speaker 1: ten minutes one hundred percent.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 9: Well, the thing is because you sort of you go
Speaker 9: a bit late to day, so it's Hobart caught to
Speaker 9: wait I think before we left. But then the weather
Speaker 9: was so bad, wasn't it.
Speaker 1: Well it's weird because people listening in America and in
Speaker 1: England are going, what are you talking about? In Australia
Speaker 1: summer right now? Daylight savings, which means it literally doesn't
Speaker 1: get dark dark till between nine nine thirty at least. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been hot. Onto Christmas Day it's gonna be thirty
Speaker 1: five and then we're taking Elliott and Holly. My parents
Speaker 1: are coming, much of their chagrin apparently to the Boxing
Speaker 1: Day test between Australia and India. It's going to be
Speaker 1: forty degrees one hundred thousand people at the MCG, so.
Speaker 9: It's like forty in the air, and then it's actually
Speaker 9: like forty six in the crowds because of all the bodies.
Speaker 1: What's because you guys do celsius in England too?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 1: Yes, we did. What's fahrenheit for our American still have
Speaker 1: a look I lookt up here.
Speaker 9: One hundred degrees I think is when they say it's hot.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, we didn't tell you what you want to
Speaker 1: By the way, what did you want?
Speaker 9: I skirted that one tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well I've shared a few things with you. I wanted
Speaker 9: some I wanted some more exercise matts. I wanted some
Speaker 9: more weights, heavier weights. I'm getting strong.
Speaker 1: Well it's two days before Christmash. I haven't got these
Speaker 1: things by now. I'm in trouble, all right. Forty degrees
Speaker 1: celsius to fahrenheit is one hundred and four Wow, I alsough.
Speaker 1: It was weird because when the sound like kids the
Speaker 1: movie that you know, I Love You always goes it's
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty degrees outside, and I always thought
Speaker 1: as a kid, and the kid's exaggerating degrees, that's so
Speaker 1: fahrenheit to celsius. I still think it's exaggerated because that's
Speaker 1: sixty five degrees celsias something quite think, No it ever
Speaker 1: got to that.
Speaker 9: I don't think so either. What is one hundred degrees
Speaker 9: fahrenheit in celsius?
Speaker 1: Because that's when one hundred fahrenheit that's when what well.
Speaker 9: That's when people in friends complain it's hot.
Speaker 1: So thirty seven that it's pretty well, yeah, pretty hip. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I was going to ask you. So it was
Speaker 1: weights It was Jim Matt as you can tell, Nicholas
Speaker 1: getting fit at the moment.
Speaker 9: It was I wanted some those shoes, the ones with
Speaker 9: the arch support. I actually wanted some new glasses, and
Speaker 9: Brindy said, no, you can do that yourself.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna buy. I'm happy to put towards something.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to buy glasses because that's that's the
Speaker 1: thing that you're gonna wear every day. I don't want
Speaker 1: so on buying. No, I know.
Speaker 9: But my point is, like the thing is I would
Speaker 9: have gone with you, like we could have gone and
Speaker 9: you could have financially contributed. When I say you, I
Speaker 9: mean our bank money. No, our bank account would have
Speaker 9: paid for our gifts like that's how it work. That's
Speaker 9: why I thought, oh, well, you know, there's not a
Speaker 9: lot that I want, so I thought that would be
Speaker 9: something useful that I could also get for Christmas.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's fine. I'm happy before we wrap up
Speaker 1: because we haven't got much time here in the card
Speaker 1: and you got to mop the floors, and now I've
Speaker 1: got a rap presence and Elliot's still singing songs to
Speaker 1: himself out there keeping quiet. Favorite Christmas movie, stop your head.
Speaker 9: Oh well, my mind went to jingle yeah, jingle all
Speaker 9: the way because we just watched it. It was just on,
Speaker 9: and I realized there's probably a couple that I haven't
Speaker 9: I haven't seen, like Deck the Halls was just up.
Speaker 9: I don't know that I've actually ever seen that. No,
Speaker 9: I've watched I've watched that one many many, many moons ago.
Speaker 9: But I absolutely love Love Love Actually, and so my
Speaker 9: Christmas tradition is having a Bailey's on Christmas Eve and
Speaker 9: watching Love Actually and rapping presents. So that is what
Speaker 9: tomorrow night will consist of, although we do need to
Speaker 9: start some tonight because every Christmas Eve if we do
Speaker 9: this and Brendan after about midnight and Brandon, I'm just
Speaker 9: too seriously, Like you know, I start at like eight
Speaker 9: thirty and I've had a couple of baileies and it's midnight,
Speaker 9: and I just.
Speaker 1: Spent wonder why I'm Nigglie in the morning.
Speaker 9: I know, and then he's up till stupid o'clock. But
Speaker 9: you know he is Santa, so try.
Speaker 1: To be more. Sorry, spoiler, come on, Nicholas, Elliet's listening.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Good one, mam, No, he's
Speaker 1: not listening. We've been talking about underrated I say underrated
Speaker 1: Christmas specials on here. So we've been talking about Christmas
Speaker 1: theme episodes of shows that we like and ones that
Speaker 1: you may not be aware of. And I mentioned the
Speaker 1: hand or one to Guy and I was going to
Speaker 1: mention one to Mitch. It was called it's called Oi
Speaker 1: to the World. It's the Nanny Christmas Special. Want to
Speaker 1: throw that one out there now before I run out
Speaker 1: of time. OI to the World. I think it's from
Speaker 1: season three. It's really weird because even if you don't
Speaker 1: like The Nanny, I love the fact that the balls
Speaker 1: to do this. It is not a live actual and
Speaker 1: it's completely animated. Sorry, The Nanny. The Nanny season three.
Speaker 1: The Christmas episode is called Oi to the World because
Speaker 1: because she's Jewish, right and she the whole show is animated.
Speaker 1: It's an animated Nanny Christmas special. I'm pretty sure we
Speaker 1: skipped it because like is anime not watching it. But
Speaker 1: it's really fun and there's no laugh track. It just
Speaker 1: feels like you're watching a proper Christmas special, but it's
Speaker 1: any characters. They go to the North Pole and the
Speaker 1: villain is CC. She's up there and yeah, it's good,
Speaker 1: like kid family or not really, of course it is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Oi to the World.
Speaker 9: Over breakfast tomorrow morning, kids. Let's put this on.
Speaker 1: Which Christen's episode do you like the most? Is that
Speaker 1: the one with the holiday armadillo? No, I really like it.
Speaker 1: I like that scene. It stands out to me. It's
Speaker 1: a memorable scene.
Speaker 9: No, just the armadillo is a bit like I think
Speaker 9: it's one of those it was just on all the time.
Speaker 9: It's a bit overrated.
Speaker 1: But so what is your christ favorite Christmas episode? Then?
Speaker 1: Are there many?
Speaker 9: There's a few, you know, there's a few.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 9: I think they pretty much did one every year, but
Speaker 9: it wasn't necessarily centered around with Christmas Day.
Speaker 1: The first one wasn't any it was it was a
Speaker 1: broad Christmas, but it wasn't really Christmas episode. Is that right?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Also has a definitive ranking of Friends Christo Maybe was
Speaker 1: that a podcast about that? My favorite Friends Christmas episode?
Speaker 9: I think we've talked about it before, but go on
Speaker 9: real off the top five and I'll give.
Speaker 1: Him as a step forward season forward, Ross freaking out
Speaker 1: because Mona wants to do a joint Christmas card. We
Speaker 1: have the one with all the candy Ross buying. Phoebe's
Speaker 1: the bike she never had as a kid is in that,
Speaker 1: but it's all about Monica. Monica does have a treat
Speaker 1: that's not really Christmas episode, the one with the Christmas
Speaker 1: in Tulsa.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's the one that came to mind, So that
Speaker 9: one of Christmas in Tulsa where Chandler essentially quits his
Speaker 9: job to come home because he's just like it's a
Speaker 9: great one. Yeah, yeah, missing out on life basically for
Speaker 9: this place. But also one of the early years I
Speaker 9: think it might even be season is it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 9: Maybe season two? Phoebe goes looking for a dad and
Speaker 9: she can't go in, and so they sit outside in.
Speaker 1: The taxi for theah.
Speaker 9: By the time they get home, it's Christmas Day.
Speaker 1: Phoe's dad. That's number one here, that's the one we reviewed.
Speaker 9: Struck midnight obviously Christmas Day, but they brought things from
Speaker 9: the petrol station. I think it was like toilet tea cut.

Speaker 1: Christmas specials and movies or you know whatever that people
Speaker 1: might not have heard of nov or whatever. I'll let
Speaker 1: you start, well, yeah, may I do a little bit
Speaker 1: of cross promotion.
Speaker 2: We are in twenty twenty four, after all, and everybody's
Speaker 2: their own marketing department. But friend of the pot, Charlie Lawson,
Speaker 2: legitimate friend of the pod, Charlie Lawson.
Speaker 1: He came on to review the Last Temptation of Home
Speaker 1: I BELI did. Indeed, I will occasionally go out on
Speaker 1: my own. I will go rogue and record a podcast
Speaker 1: or two with Charlie. We did one not long ago
Speaker 1: where we talked about underrated or slightly left of sender
Speaker 1: Christmas movies. I'm happy to sort of talk about one
Speaker 1: of those that I talked about on that podcast on
Speaker 1: this podcast because I'm lazy and I don't want to
Speaker 1: think too much. Batman.
Speaker 2: Everybody likes Batman and Batman Returns is set at Christmas
Speaker 2: time and I I really love but it's probably one
Speaker 2: of my favorite Batman movies.
Speaker 1: You say it's underrated, though I would not.
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily one of those ones that make Yeah,
Speaker 2: it hasn't reached. Diehard's a Christmas movie yet, but you
Speaker 2: can say, well.
Speaker 1: It will, hopefully it will. Recently, it's fucking out there
Speaker 1: that movie. It's an odd ass movie, and it's not
Speaker 1: for kids. It's freaky ass. Yeah, it's freaky. He bicycle's nose. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: Bloody and sexy and kinky, and for all those reasons
Speaker 2: and many more, I adore it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big fan.
Speaker 2: But also it just it feels odd to say it's
Speaker 2: Christmasy because it is set at Christmas time. You know,
Speaker 2: you've got the ice Princess and the big Christmas tree
Speaker 2: and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But also the way it's made.
Speaker 2: I mean, it feels like, for me, like an old
Speaker 2: timey movie, like something from the forties or fifties, And
Speaker 2: when I was growing up, that's the kind of stuff
Speaker 2: that I would watch on TV or on Christmas Time,
Speaker 2: like an old musical, something like meet Me in Saint
Speaker 2: Louis or meet Me in Saint Lewis.
Speaker 1: Whoever, my apologies to the people of that city, Louis.
Speaker 1: I think that's how they sing it, Okay, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I think Louis probably rhymes some more stuff than Lewis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they sang it wrong. They're too cheap to fix it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fucking up, Judy Garton, No, say Louis, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's just got a very kind of big, gordy quote
Speaker 2: unquote artificial feel that feels like Christmas to me. It
Speaker 2: feels like you're going to the mall and seeing a
Speaker 2: huge tree and a fat dude dressed up as Santa.
Speaker 2: You know, the actual Santa couldn't be there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it just gives me a warm glow. And then
Speaker 2: it's got all that, as I said, the bloodiness and
Speaker 2: the kinkiness and the weirdness that just you know, it's
Speaker 2: a little spice in your egg nog.
Speaker 1: Batman's barely in it as well. That's the thing as well,
Speaker 1: going is this a Batman movie? What is that?
Speaker 6: Not?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: I mean, I get the feeling because this is directed
Speaker 2: by Tim Burton, it's his follow up to the nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty nine Batman.
Speaker 1: It feels like it was keeping busy when they made
Speaker 1: this movie. He got busy, certainly because I think he
Speaker 1: he had had a past relationship with Michelle Fire, who
Speaker 1: plays camp Woman, saying you really feel the chemistry between
Speaker 1: the two of those. That's great, but you.
Speaker 2: Get the feeling that when he made. When Burton made
Speaker 2: the first Batman, it was kind of like, you're making
Speaker 2: a Batman movie. You've got this ip work color within
Speaker 2: these lines, give a little bit of that Tim Burton flavor.
Speaker 2: And it did like gang Basters and Tim Burton becomes
Speaker 2: a real name brand. When he got to the second one,
Speaker 2: he's like, I want to do make Tim Burton thing
Speaker 2: and they're like, it seems to have worked so far.
Speaker 1: He delivers this and they went, oh no, no again.
Speaker 2: I get a lot of say the line, but you know,
Speaker 2: my favorite line from that chat I had with the
Speaker 2: late great Joel Schumacher when he was directing Batman movies.
Speaker 2: Like the movies make billions, The movies make millions, the
Speaker 2: toys make billions.
Speaker 1: I don't want to play with this penguin. Well mc
Speaker 1: donald's pulled the plug on their marketing. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I watched his going kids ain't gonna want to
Speaker 1: fucking penguin toy?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, Dando, you have two lovely children after you
Speaker 2: put them to bed, and Holly's.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't want to go to bed. I don't
Speaker 1: want to go get better or the penguin. I'll got you.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a good.
Speaker 2: Technique, but you know, you might want to cuddle on
Speaker 2: the couch with your beloved. And I don't know, watch
Speaker 2: Batman and Catwoman just sort of you know, I.
Speaker 1: Don't see my Batman rap up. The sexual time were
Speaker 1: shoemaker films. That's why I have When I was kidding,
Speaker 1: I watched it going I'll watch it now as an
Speaker 1: adult with the kids, and I go, kids can watch this.
Speaker 1: It's made for kids. People hate it at the time.
Speaker 1: These people and did exactly what they that's true telling you,
Speaker 1: I Reckon Schumacher did to a t what he was
Speaker 1: asked to do.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think he understood this, Simon absolutely and
Speaker 2: he brought a bit of his shoemaker goodness to it
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: It's so corny and ridiculous. But that's exactly the.
Speaker 2: Other thing though, if you're talking about Batman Forever or
Speaker 2: Batman and Robin or both of them, Batman Forever and
Speaker 2: was about it not as kinky as Returns, But I
Speaker 2: mean the stuff with Kilmer and Kidman is kind of
Speaker 2: like these.
Speaker 1: Hot damn and carry as Riddler in his absolute prime
Speaker 1: carry and you had Tom of the Jones trying to
Speaker 1: be carried Yeah, that's party sanction. That the thing is,
Speaker 1: the thing is you know why it works. It was
Speaker 1: a success, So Batman Returns was a marketing not a failure.
Speaker 1: But when McDonald's pulled the plug on the happy Meal toys,
Speaker 1: you know you're fucked up right. One of the most
Speaker 1: iconic McDonald's things of all time, like toys haveing meal
Speaker 1: things was the Batman Forever glasses. Every nineties kid I
Speaker 1: never having in America. In Australia we did. We've also
Speaker 1: got them. They are they are just iconic. Every ossy
Speaker 1: kitchen had at least one of these glasses in the
Speaker 1: kitchen in the cupboards, and they're just so great. They're styleized.
Speaker 1: I'll show them. They're fantastic, right. This movie was just
Speaker 1: perfectly made. Four kids. I remember all the marketing, all
Speaker 1: the toys. It was like it was just a great
Speaker 1: granted not great Batman movies or what the previous ones were,
Speaker 1: but as in a capsule perfect. Oh yeah. When we're
Speaker 1: recording this.
Speaker 2: A couple of hours ago, the first trailer for James
Speaker 2: Gung Superman movie dropped.
Speaker 1: Okay, have you watched it yet? Have you seen this?
Speaker 1: Have you heard about this? Sorry, of course you're gonna
Speaker 1: of course some.
Speaker 2: I think you'll enjoy it because it's first of all,
Speaker 2: it's got like a this is gonna sound that, but
Speaker 2: it works. It's like a rock guitar version of John
Speaker 2: Williams a Superman theme, kind of good. The guy playing
Speaker 2: Superman looks great.
Speaker 1: Either really slow with the piano or rocky. And it's
Speaker 1: not they don't go full you know, rock out with
Speaker 1: your cockadd it's.
Speaker 2: More it's not bad dude. But overall, and of course
Speaker 2: it's based on just a two minute trailer, so they're
Speaker 2: trying to sell you on something. But it feels like
Speaker 2: a steer away from the very serious stuff, which with
Speaker 2: the Nolan Batman's and with the Zack Snyder Superman's, it
Speaker 2: feels like, oh, this is a bit more cartoonish, a
Speaker 2: little lighthearted, and it's got some seriousness to it. But
Speaker 2: it's like this looks big and goofy and weird, and
Speaker 2: sincere I think it's gonna think it's actually gonna be
Speaker 2: really good. My my expectations of it were kind of like,
Speaker 2: but it feels it doesn't feel quite as gordy as
Speaker 2: like the Shoemaker Batman's, but it feels like oh, these
Speaker 2: are meant to be fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are kind of meant to be fun. I
Speaker 1: said to I was saying to a Mitch, maybe message you,
Speaker 1: maybe mystery. I just had a random thought with Mitch
Speaker 1: is a huge Superman fan. I messaged him saying, does
Speaker 1: it bother you that kids in twenty twenty four, if
Speaker 1: you walked up to any child and sai, who's you
Speaker 1: favorite superhero? None of them a saying Batman or Superman anymore?
Speaker 1: And that just is a sign that DC are fucked
Speaker 1: up because every kid's favorite superhero now's either spider Man, Iroman,
Speaker 1: it's all Marvel. When I was growing up, it was
Speaker 1: you're either Superman kid or you're a Batman kid. Okay,
Speaker 1: because well there was no Marvel films, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? That's true, But now like no kid wants
Speaker 1: to be Maybe you get a costume. But if you
Speaker 1: say to a kid, who's you favorite superhero, they're not
Speaker 1: saying Batman, They're not saying Superman.
Speaker 2: No, Batman's a little bit more for sort of I've
Speaker 2: not too serious teenage edge lords and old Mastard like
Speaker 2: me and Superman.
Speaker 1: Certain i'd say Daredevil. Wol. I'm gonna go on a
Speaker 1: limon say, I don't think Superman's call anymore. Well, no,
Speaker 1: but Superman was never cool, but he felt When I
Speaker 1: was a kid, it felt cool the due can fly.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when flying like that's that's a superperwerent of stuff.
Speaker 1: Now kids are so accustomed to the Avengers films, where
Speaker 1: it's just constant fucking people flying around bashing into each other,
Speaker 1: like the idea of this guy can fly and what Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've just have taken the aura of Superman.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, the tough thing with Superman was like, well,
Speaker 2: you know, who can threaten this guy?
Speaker 1: We've made him. We made this guy too good? But
Speaker 1: cheat code. That's true.
Speaker 2: But anyway, but that's coming out next year. But the
Speaker 2: trailer is fantastic and I'm really.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to it. But my Christmas Special, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I was better to say that, but I'm done. I
Speaker 1: wanted to get something that's completely different. I knew you'd
Speaker 1: go something that's more adult based. I've gone to something
Speaker 1: that I am particularly for nineties kids. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of our listeners are nineties kids, my age whatever, Yes,
Speaker 1: And I think and the show Hay Hannold, I've brought
Speaker 1: it up very a lot one of my favorite shows
Speaker 1: still to this day. Kids love watching Hayndold now they
Speaker 1: love it. It's funny how the kids call him hay
Speaker 1: Hanold his name is actually because it's interesting. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize this until a lot later. So Dan Castlentta does
Speaker 1: the voice of his grandpa. So do you know that
Speaker 1: the purpose of the show this is his grandpa and
Speaker 1: grandma in a It's like it's like a house of
Speaker 1: various people live in it, like a boarding house. It's
Speaker 1: almost like a boarding house basically. Yeah, it's like all
Speaker 1: these different red ruined apartment block. Maybe it's like an
Speaker 1: apartment building or whatever. Yeah, and they they're the landlords,
Speaker 1: the landlands of building. Yes, but they all all have
Speaker 1: they share the same kitchen and what that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So it's like a family vibe. But they all have
Speaker 1: their own rooms in his apartment. This sounds more like
Speaker 1: a boarding house. Yeah, yeah, boarding house maybe. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: so Dan Castlett does the voice of grandpa, and trust me,
Speaker 1: Neil has the voice of the grandma. But they always
Speaker 1: go hey short man, Hew you going hey short man.
Speaker 1: And later in the show you find out his last
Speaker 1: name short man. It's Adam's short man. But this Christmas
Speaker 1: is called Arnold's Christmas. It's from season one of the show,
Speaker 1: and it's just got a really sweet, beautiful story. So
Speaker 1: there's a I'm pretty sure mister Hunt is Vietnamese. Back
Speaker 1: when he was a lot younger, he had a daughter May.
Speaker 1: We never see his wife, and I'm assuming she must beast.
Speaker 1: But they come to a point where they were escaping
Speaker 1: on a helicopter and then he had room for one
Speaker 1: more and he said, well, I want my daughter to
Speaker 1: have a better life, so he puts the daughter, baby May,
Speaker 1: on the helicopter. She gets taken and he finds out
Speaker 1: that she was in this city, which is why he
Speaker 1: moved to the city where Arnold lives, and he's trying
Speaker 1: to track her down, but he can't track her down.
Speaker 1: So Arnold's Christmas wish is to track down his daughter,
Speaker 1: who's much older now, and reunite her with her father. Arnold.
Speaker 1: What a lord, what a show. It's fantastic, sounds a
Speaker 1: really nice. I'm sort of not tearing up, but yeah, close, yeah, Becau.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, you never really know much about
Speaker 1: the guy and you find out, oh, he's here because
Speaker 1: he's trying to track down his daughter who he wanted
Speaker 1: to give a better life to, and Arnold's Christmas wishes
Speaker 1: to reunite them. And you're like, oh my god, all right, spoiler,
Speaker 1: is there a reunion there? Of course there is, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Christmas Miracle, Yes, it is Christmas Miracle indeed. Yes.
Speaker 1: And if you want a funny, like a funny Christmas
Speaker 1: themed episode of a TV show, I've always mentioned how
Speaker 1: I love the Drop from the Sun. Yes, the very
Speaker 1: first Christmas special they do. I think it's called I've
Speaker 1: got to hear jolly old Saint Dick. It's called Dick Solomon.
Speaker 1: They all just it's just your various Shenanigans. So Sally
Speaker 1: becomes a gift wrapper at the More Shannikins and Sue Harry,
Speaker 1: who is the what's his name French Stewart. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: plays one of Santa's alves at the More, then finds
Speaker 1: out that this isn't the real sand at the More
Speaker 1: and he's like, what are you doing? Pretty much, buddy,
Speaker 1: the elf stole the concept. Yes, And Tommy, who is
Speaker 1: Joseph Gordon Levitt in one of his first roles, is
Speaker 1: frustrated because his girlfriend won't tell him what she wants
Speaker 1: for Christmas. She wants him to figure it out, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, we've all been there, buddy, we've been there.
Speaker 1: And Dick gets the rest of her chopping down a
Speaker 1: Christmas tree for the house. But they're all aliens. I
Speaker 1: don't get it. It's just, you know, it's just aliens
Speaker 1: trying to experience their first Christmas on Earth. And it's
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, a lot of shenanigans. Yeah, fantastic,
Speaker 1: a lot of great physical comedy in Thur from the Sun,
Speaker 1: so Jolly Old Saint Dick, The Thread from the Sun,
Speaker 1: and Arnold's Christmas. I highly recommend checking those out.
Speaker 2: I will add one more, if that's all right. Something's
Speaker 2: a little more sweet and lighthearted, as like a little
Speaker 2: touch of spice in it. I'm sure I've mentioned this
Speaker 2: in the past, but a bears repeating. This is a
Speaker 2: telemovie from the early nine is called Bernard and the Genie.
Speaker 2: I never mentioned this one.
Speaker 1: Have you heard this? I can't recall you have?
Speaker 2: Okay, this does Alan Cumming? People know him from. I
Speaker 2: think he hosts like the TV show The Traitors.
Speaker 1: Unfortunate last name, isn't it. Yeah, you never know if
Speaker 1: he's coming or going. Yeah, exactly, but it's spelt cuming, right,
Speaker 1: was its? It's got the two? I thought one? Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: He plays a young man named Bernard who is having
Speaker 2: a terrible Christmas. He has been dumped by his unfaithful.
Speaker 1: Girlfriend faithful ones.
Speaker 2: And I think she might have actually dumped him for
Speaker 2: his boss who then yeah, his girlfriend leaves him for
Speaker 2: his best friend.
Speaker 4: Um.
Speaker 2: He discovers that his boss uh accidentally discusses his bosses
Speaker 2: corrupt and he gets fired as a result. His life
Speaker 2: is just shit on Christmas time.
Speaker 1: But he's got this.
Speaker 2: He finds this old lamp, gives it a rub that
Speaker 2: pops a genie played by the great UK comedian Lenny Henry.
Speaker 2: Virginie has been in the lamp for two thousand years.
Speaker 1: It's never like four years thousands ah.
Speaker 2: And is very very taken with everything that Mons society
Speaker 2: has to offer, from funk music to McDonald's. But he
Speaker 2: also was his This was nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1: Oh so it's ninety okay, yeah, yeah, what's it? Ca,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at something and the genie okay, yeah,

Speaker 1: The kids have just discovered mister Bean. They amazing.
Speaker 2: I was talking about this with a friend of mine
Speaker 2: on Alone the other night. One of the most hilarious
Speaker 2: schisms between on screen persona and private life is Rowan Atkinson,
Speaker 2: because I mean he's mister Bean. He's a massive door.
Speaker 1: Getting rebooted or something. Apparently, So yeah, new episodes of Time.
Speaker 1: I saw it coming on Netflix one announcing it here.
Speaker 2: In his actual life, he's like this vintage carra Fi
Speaker 2: Shonado who owns like six Aston Martins races them. Apparently
Speaker 2: he pulled like a burden of the genie and he
Speaker 2: told the girl friend of this other comedian a comana
Speaker 2: I don't like, by the way, I find a bit
Speaker 2: bit of a prats. I'm like, you go, mister Bean.
Speaker 2: And my mate said, have you ever heard the story
Speaker 2: about you know, he was on his private plane landing
Speaker 2: somewhere in Africa. The pilot had a heart attack and
Speaker 2: Rollan Atkinson landed the plane.
Speaker 1: Really, holy shit, that's mister Bean skit in it. So yeah.
Speaker 1: So apparently had a show on Netflix two years ago
Speaker 1: that I had no idea about ca Manvess is b Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're doing a sequel with that as well. That's
Speaker 1: what I saw, yeah, called man versus Baby. That's it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought it was Mystic, which.
Speaker 2: Is the story of Dando's life. Yeah, but Bernar and
Speaker 2: the Genie.
Speaker 1: I think you can probably find it on YouTube. A
Speaker 1: lot of stuff is just ending up on YouTube these
Speaker 1: days because there's We've just got so much stuff you
Speaker 1: got to put it somewhere, and that just can't control
Speaker 1: it all anymore. I can't control it all.
Speaker 2: But it's very sweet and it's got a really lovely
Speaker 2: not bittersweet ending.
Speaker 1: But you know you think, oh, I spoiler back, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch this shit. No, No, it's it's lovely. It's
Speaker 1: something I really rite out of these t all right, Well,
Speaker 1: that is our underrated Christmas special? Any any TV show
Speaker 1: specials over there? Any TV Yeah, I I was trying
Speaker 1: to think of some TV episodes that you can remember that.
Speaker 1: You go, you like the Christmas version of it. You
Speaker 1: love family Tires, right, I do, and I'm sure they
Speaker 1: would have had fa Mainy Tires Christmas. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the description of Christmas Special A Keaton Christmas Carol. Christmas
Speaker 1: is just around the corner, but Alex lacks holiday spirit
Speaker 1: as the rest of his family prepared to celebrate. On
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, he is visited in a dream by ghostly
Speaker 1: messengers who give him a view of his past and future.
Speaker 1: Christmas is along with a different perception of the holiday.
Speaker 1: Ah Dickens always comes through, so family ties, they do
Speaker 1: have Christmas Special. What's another show you liked? What's the
Speaker 1: theme song you like? Growing Pains? Like, yeah, Growing Pains
Speaker 1: Christmas have a look.
Speaker 2: You've just reminded me of a gift that I got
Speaker 2: from my my great sister Margot. All my sisters are great,
Speaker 2: but Margo, from a very early age was always giving
Speaker 2: me like books, and books were just way but my
Speaker 2: pay grade. But she gave me like a really nice
Speaker 2: little hard backed copy of a Christmas Carol Charles Dickens
Speaker 2: Christmas Carol when I was about maybe seven or eight,
Speaker 2: and I was like, this isn't make for notch. So
Speaker 2: of course I was like, eh, I'll tell you what
Speaker 2: I've got That book to this day, I reckon. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: it must be god nearly half a century old now,
Speaker 2: but yeah, something's got to keep there are some things
Speaker 2: you've got to keep. Marco has liked that though she's
Speaker 2: always she's like you, and that she's giving gifts as
Speaker 2: opposed to like, just give me a gift cap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what I want. I'd give gifts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's kind of like putting effort into like
Speaker 2: I think they might like this, So it's a gamble.
Speaker 1: She's always rolling the dice. My mum's worked out. Now,
Speaker 1: don't buy the kids clothes or she's worked out. Don't
Speaker 1: expect to excited response when you buy them clothes. That's true.
Speaker 1: He's one toys on Christmas. Here's one toys sucks a
Speaker 1: Christmas story. This is Growing Pains. I'm seeing a theme here.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, okay, well the Siva family prepared for Christmas.
Speaker 1: One of Jason's patients contemplates suicide by jumping under sea
Speaker 1: for chimney. Holy so, a little bit Gremlins, a little bit,
Speaker 1: that's a wonderful life. Yeah, all right, that's the second
Speaker 1: one is called the Kid. Second Christmas episode of Growing Pains,
Speaker 1: taken with the holiday spirit, Ben brings home a runaway
Speaker 1: homeless girl for dinner. All right, Ben, it's a little one, right.
Speaker 1: I never watched the show. I'm trying to remember what
Speaker 1: Kirk Cameron's character's name, jingle Bell Rock, the Red Nose Reindeer,
Speaker 1: get the holes in the first Noel Orbia, Okay, that's number.
Speaker 2: It's very nice, that's very Christmasy. As I said, they
Speaker 2: understood the assignment.
Speaker 1: And it's not easy. Being Green is the third and
Speaker 1: final Christmas episode of Growing Pains. They did three. The
Speaker 1: description is the Christmas Spirit is on short supply, with
Speaker 1: Mike and Carabine jealous of Kate and Dwight. Well, Jason
Speaker 1: is over controlling and decorating the tree. That sounds like
Speaker 1: a sick sheigans into ularity into you. But every sitcom's
Speaker 1: got a Christmas episode, and yeah, you might not know
Speaker 1: they exists. Just check it out. Look, think of your
Speaker 1: favorite TV show and just take Christmas episode after it.
Speaker 1: And I love it when the show's because I'm a
Speaker 1: Christmas guy. You also love seeing the characters that I
Speaker 1: enjoy just in the Christmas spirit. Generally, it's very odd
Speaker 1: or very rare for a Christmas themed episode to have
Speaker 1: a sad ending No no, I mean the old point
Speaker 1: of it is to make you feel a woman fuzzy
Speaker 1: and by presence. Of course, it's going to be a
Speaker 1: scripted show.
Speaker 2: It's got to follow the beats of something's gonna go
Speaker 2: slightly wrong. Well, here's a situation that could end badly,
Speaker 2: but guess what, it doesn't because we're a family, and
Speaker 2: families get together at Christmas time, and even if you're
Speaker 2: not part of the family. Hey come, you know, hey,
Speaker 2: homeless girl, I'm ben seeber Come, come, come to our house.
Speaker 1: She stole all our shit. Anyway, all right, what are
Speaker 1: we do? Let's get some mail bad before that, though,
Speaker 1: I believe the old Miss's going to be making an appearance.
Speaker 1: You're a better the old ball and Chain. Come on,
Speaker 1: the old Mitch's gonna make an appearance. Well, the old
Speaker 1: ball and Chain. I guess you coul say you could.
Speaker 1: Now you're liberated, got a whole new ball and chain.

Speaker 5: myself like that? How are we. It's nice to see
Speaker 5: its endo what's going on?
Speaker 1: Not too much. It's a little unsettling, though, because I
Speaker 1: don't think you ever introduced yourself on the podcast ever.
Speaker 1: It was always I am Mitch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's as much as I have.
Speaker 1: Pull the curtain back. Actually said to him, look, you
Speaker 1: can do the j for this, go for I was
Speaker 1: kind of hoping you go I am Mitch, because that's
Speaker 1: what the people. You've got to give the people what
Speaker 1: they want.
Speaker 5: I still need to be fed that line. I can't
Speaker 5: just come out with I am Mitch.
Speaker 1: We're joined here by We're joined here by my dear friend.
Speaker 1: I am Mitch, I said my dear friend.
Speaker 5: Well, in the absence the absence of a dear friend arriving,
Speaker 5: I am Mitch.
Speaker 1: You asked how I am, I'm doing well. We're here
Speaker 1: as part of the twenty twenty four Christmas Special. Basically
Speaker 1: we thought we would do something a bit different this
Speaker 1: year because I always feel like we've phoned in a
Speaker 1: bit at the Christmas Special. It's just let's just turn
Speaker 1: them works out and see what comes out. You know
Speaker 1: that cliche?
Speaker 5: Isn't that also the direction you just gave me?
Speaker 1: That's pretty much what we do here. But I thought
Speaker 1: this year we'll get you know, we'll get Mitche on,
Speaker 1: We'll get Nikola on, We'll get the kids on, We'll
Speaker 1: get you know, other patrons on or whatever. Just make
Speaker 1: it a full Forefinger Descant family Christmas special because you
Speaker 1: have me on the show for a long time. So
Speaker 1: what have you been doing in the last two years?
Speaker 1: Besides making babies?
Speaker 5: Well made baby? Raising baby for the most part is
Speaker 5: what I've been doing. I've been I'm not playing sport,
Speaker 5: playing golf, but I'm not playing cricket this summer, just
Speaker 5: giving up a bit more time. Back to Lex.
Speaker 1: Golf is not a sport? Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 5: It's arguable.
Speaker 1: It's defined US sport. It's on Fox Sports. But yeah, people,
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, is it really a sports?
Speaker 1: Like snooger, I watched snooker, I watched bowlie. Is it
Speaker 1: really a sport? It's competitive.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of things that are on Fox Sports
Speaker 5: that aren't sport. I mean, Jason Dunstall is in a sport.
Speaker 1: He's a speaking of sport, I'm taking Alliott to his
Speaker 1: first ever test match boxing day. What better one's taken to.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not the Ashes, but it's still this
Speaker 1: is the next best one.
Speaker 5: Right totally any Boxing day test, but yes, if it's
Speaker 5: Australia India for the last really the last ten ish years,
Speaker 5: ten to fifteen years, like that's been prime time and
Speaker 5: Boxing Day test is I think it's the MCG as
Speaker 5: much as anything, to be fair, but boxing day tests
Speaker 5: there's something about that post Christmas buzz that hangs around
Speaker 5: the air. You've also you know there's Boxing Day sales
Speaker 5: Melbourne's Melbourne's busy, but calm like it. No one's stressed
Speaker 5: on Boxing Day. It's just a it's a chill vibe.
Speaker 1: You're still in a slight food comba from Christmas and whatnot.
Speaker 5: Hmm. I still like I've got pretty vivid memories of
Speaker 5: my first couple of MCAG trips related that my grandfather
Speaker 5: took me to my first out of cricket game at
Speaker 5: the g but that was a one day It was Australia,
Speaker 5: I want to say it was Australia Pakistan.
Speaker 1: We took Ellie to Australia Pakistan this year.
Speaker 5: Nice, there's a little bit of symmetry there. What I
Speaker 5: do remember about the game is Anthony Stewart took a
Speaker 5: hat trick and Anthony Stewart didn't play a lot of
Speaker 5: cricket for Australia, but because that was like the first
Speaker 5: thing that I ever saw in my eyes, Anthony Stewart
Speaker 5: was better than Glen McGrath for a couple of years.
Speaker 5: And the first Test that I went to was actually
Speaker 5: Australia in the year as well, and it was Brittley's debut.
Speaker 1: That was the we watched that today, Elliot night, I
Speaker 1: was on Foxtowe.
Speaker 5: The whole test or was it just like a little clip.
Speaker 1: It was the minis kind of thing. Yeah, cool, but
Speaker 1: yeah that was in two thousand. Yeah, it was the.
Speaker 5: Ninety nine two thousand series. We went day two from memory.
Speaker 5: Australia had batted on day one and Brett Lee made
Speaker 5: like twenty seven maybe not out, but I had like
Speaker 5: twenty seven or something like that. So that was the
Speaker 5: sort of first thing we saw in the morning and
Speaker 5: then it took a week. In his first over, I
Speaker 5: think it was with a low full toss from memory,
Speaker 5: but just that was one of those things where I
Speaker 5: think that like there was a buzz and excitement around
Speaker 5: how quick Brett had been bowling in the lead up,
Speaker 5: and even that it was at a time that people
Speaker 5: weren't really paying attention to speed guns. It wasn't until
Speaker 5: the talk of like this kid is really really quick.
Speaker 5: And I don't know if it was coincidence, but I'd
Speaker 5: be surprised if it was that that was the one
Speaker 5: that Dad was like, right, we're going and yeah, it
Speaker 5: was great. Day picked up with a good one, and
Speaker 5: that kick started a run of me not missing boxing
Speaker 5: day tests for oh god, maybe until X was born
Speaker 5: or COVID COVID year probably anyway, it was it was
Speaker 5: a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Alie's excited. Alie will sit there, he will
Speaker 1: watch test matches. He's obsessed with cricket. He loves it.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 5: How's it going with the change of pace, because is
Speaker 5: this his first summer of watching test much cricket?
Speaker 1: First someone he likes the idea of tests more than
Speaker 1: one day is I think he loves the excitement of
Speaker 1: big bash, but he likes the fact that he goes,
Speaker 1: oh it doesn't matter if this one because they get
Speaker 1: the bat again. He likes the concept of all that.
Speaker 1: He likes the five day concept.
Speaker 5: He likes the second chances.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, but he'll be watching it and he'll
Speaker 1: just go oh because he was human. When India didn't
Speaker 1: have to do the follow on, he was furious. He
Speaker 1: cracked it, walked out. He goes, these guys are the bowlers,
Speaker 1: why can't they get him out?
Speaker 5: So was it him that was messaging me, not you?
Speaker 1: From if I was just strowing you up? Mitch and
Speaker 1: I have messages and I know he hates when people
Speaker 1: just throw hot takes out there, so I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna throw some hot takes out at him. And
Speaker 1: he didn't respond straight away, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it didn't work. And then about an hour, lady, you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to respond to this when I'm finished with
Speaker 1: the bath.
Speaker 5: That was not my tone. I mean, I did record.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna I will return to this, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I've got to come clean now. Before he
Speaker 1: actually stoos for an hour.
Speaker 5: I don't know how close he came to a let
Speaker 5: no number.
Speaker 1: I sent like six messages in a row and I
Speaker 1: was like, he's not replying. I'm just gonna keep going
Speaker 1: to the replies and you didn't reply, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5: I was leimate, I was legitimately justice year Ash was
Speaker 5: out and I was tied up. I thought I was
Speaker 5: just dealing with dinner and bedtime and all sort stuff.
Speaker 1: I thought I genuinely just like pissed him off to
Speaker 1: the point were he's just not going to write back anymore.
Speaker 5: What's Christmas presents? What's coming for the kids?
Speaker 1: Alliott just wants cricket ship but he so he's getting
Speaker 1: I'm talking legitimate, like he wants the test shirt, the
Speaker 1: test overcoat thing, the wooly one, he wants that, the
Speaker 1: test pants, he wants the he calls him the Zamper glasses.
Speaker 1: But they're just the cricketer glasses.
Speaker 5: I can't believe how quickly though that that pair of glasses.
Speaker 5: I don't know what the fuck are I think they're Oakley,
Speaker 5: but whoever makes them, like every cricketer I've never seen
Speaker 5: them before, and suddenly everyone is wearing them.
Speaker 1: Yep, there now, I reckon, there's got to be some
Speaker 1: sort of tie in there, like we'll pay you to
Speaker 1: all wear the same shit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, gotta be, Yeah, it might almost be. But the
Speaker 5: thing is, it's not even just Australia, like the Indians
Speaker 5: wearing as well. I'm seeing New Zealand because originally I
Speaker 5: was thinking, oh maybe it was a time with cricket Australia,
Speaker 5: but that's so ubiquitous it's insane.
Speaker 1: Can I just say, well, ten minutes in, Eliza is
Speaker 1: probably thinking, fuck me, Mitch has been on the show
Speaker 1: for like three years and all the torbet's fucking cricket.
Speaker 5: You're the one going to the test.
Speaker 1: Yeah I know, but yeah, so it's true though I
Speaker 1: reckon that they used to wear Oakley's anyway. But they
Speaker 1: were the thinner ones, weren't they.
Speaker 5: The style is now you'd get variety, like you know,
Speaker 5: some would wear the wrap arounds and some would were
Speaker 5: just just wear like bug eyes or whatever.
Speaker 1: It would be. Imagine the glasses were talking about. Imagine
Speaker 1: what a typical raver wears to a music festival.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're not a mile away from the Piete Sittle
Speaker 5: speed dealers that he was made fun of wearing a
Speaker 5: couple of seasons ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Elliot wanted a pair of those, so he's
Speaker 1: getting those. He wanted a wooden bat. It's weird the
Speaker 1: smaller bats. So why he's height he's a size three? Okay,
Speaker 1: but the head of the bat's a lot thinner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Alliott won't want that because he practices with like
Speaker 1: the big bash kanga cricket, like the plastic ones, and wise,
Speaker 1: I think he's adjusted to the height of that. And
Speaker 1: granted the wooden bats are a bit heavier, but I
Speaker 1: think I won't take him on to just get just
Speaker 1: get used to it. I'd rather just throw him the deep
Speaker 1: been straight away. I'm going to get him a size five,
Speaker 1: which is a lot bigger. I think, why I just
Speaker 1: go for the gusto from the get go.
Speaker 5: You're grow into it, That's fine. Yeah, you know I'm
Speaker 5: not cutting golf clubs in half flex yet. I'm just
Speaker 5: giving her mind and you know, we stand further away
Speaker 5: she figures it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we've got I've got a friend who likes
Speaker 1: the cricket and he plays with the smaller bat, and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, rather just learn how to play with
Speaker 1: the big one. So I've got him the size five
Speaker 1: cricket bat. But else, yeah, he got some new cricket wickts.
Speaker 1: He wanted a lot up what brand?
Speaker 5: What brand bat?
Speaker 1: Gret Nichols?
Speaker 5: Okay, ready handle or like what are the stickers?
Speaker 1: And as in I've gotta right under the table, I
Speaker 1: can have a look showed. Yeah, okay, it's this one
Speaker 1: right here, the.
Speaker 5: Giant Oh wait, no blast sorry blast, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, Cashmere Cashmere Willow ready played g n R five blast.
Speaker 5: Great finest Cashmere Willow type A.
Speaker 1: He wanted the red handle, apparently saw someone using it.
Speaker 1: You wanted who used the green Nichols? Is it head? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, track head.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's Travis He because you want you wanted,
Speaker 1: you wanted heads bat if.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, you would have struggled to have
Speaker 5: had the opportunity to see Mitch Marshus that so far this.
Speaker 1: Time we should start a quicker podcast.
Speaker 5: What do you keep trying to break all of the
Speaker 5: things I love into podcasts?
Speaker 1: Do you want to talk about them? Though?
Speaker 5: No, that's enough people talking about them.
Speaker 1: So he's got so he's got the full test gear.
Speaker 1: He wanted a the hats like the white hat they were.
Speaker 1: He's basically wanted the test.
Speaker 5: He just wants to be able to walk down the
Speaker 5: street and be mistaken.
Speaker 1: For Ben Duckett. Yeah, but we're here to talk about
Speaker 1: Christmas specials. So I spoke earlier to Guy about underrated
Speaker 1: Chrismas specials. It's Christmas specials that we appreciated that others
Speaker 1: out there might not have heard of. Guy ended up
Speaker 1: talking about Batman Returns because says it's a Chrismas movie
Speaker 1: that many people don't see. It is a Christmas movie. Whatever.
Speaker 1: I ended up going with it. It's very true to me,
Speaker 1: but it's actually a really great story. And I went
Speaker 1: with Arnold's Christmas from Hay Arnold. It's some season one
Speaker 1: of Hay Arnold. I don't want to read treat the
Speaker 1: same thing. Basically, the story is he lives in the
Speaker 1: boarding house or the house with lots of people living
Speaker 1: with his grandparents owned the own the place, state that
Speaker 1: the landlord's and there's a Vietnamese the man there named
Speaker 1: mister Hun. Arnold get him the Kris Kringle. He wants
Speaker 1: to get him a good present. He finds out that
Speaker 1: the reason he's in the city there, living in that
Speaker 1: city where he chose to live there, was because when
Speaker 1: he was younger, he had a baby daughter named my
Speaker 1: and during the Vietnam War, the American soldiers were flying
Speaker 1: away to a helicopter and then the space one more person.
Speaker 1: He gave him the baby so she'd be safe and
Speaker 1: have a nice place to live, and he heard that
Speaker 1: she'd moved to this city. Arnold Spendcy's Christmas trying to
Speaker 1: find and track her down. And it's a reunion and
Speaker 1: it's big Christmas miracle. It's a really lovely story. It's
Speaker 1: as a really adult story for a kids show, and
Speaker 1: I really appreciated it. But I said to you to
Speaker 1: recommend a Christmas special of some kind or Christmas movie
Speaker 1: or something, And what did you come up with?
Speaker 5: Oh? I had a good think about this because the
Speaker 5: first few that sprung to mind were the obvious ones.
Speaker 5: I mean, the Simpsons have done some really good ones.
Speaker 5: We don't need to warp over that.
Speaker 1: The just some one that we may end up be
Speaker 1: doing a review of.
Speaker 5: Yes, which I started watching until you said cancel plans.
Speaker 5: I forgot had done something. They'll postpone. This Fishes from
Speaker 5: the Bear. It's obviously like, that's not underrated, that's just
Speaker 5: fucking brilliant.
Speaker 1: The Bear was it?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, have you watched the bit?
Speaker 1: I haven't yet. No, those seasons comes out soon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard it's great, all right? Cool?
Speaker 5: So in the second episode, sorry, in the second season,
Speaker 5: there's an episode called Fishes, which is a flashback episode
Speaker 5: to Calmi, the main character since family Christmas, and his
Speaker 5: mum is trying to cook the seven fishes, so it's
Speaker 5: seven different fish dishes on Christmas traditional meal. It's chaotic.
Speaker 5: It's really chaotic and frenetic, and it hearkens to the
Speaker 5: people that may be more broken home memories rather than
Speaker 5: the nuclear family. Everything's good, but it's Christmas not going well,
Speaker 5: and through it all though people still you know, they're
Speaker 5: still coming together, they still love each other, and then
Speaker 5: it all falls apart again. But it's really really just
Speaker 5: spellbinding hour or so of TV. Then I was trying
Speaker 5: to think too, I was trying to get away. I
Speaker 5: was like, well, the thing that interests me the most
Speaker 5: about Christmas episodes is with network TV shows in particular,
Speaker 5: how often Christmas gets brought in and it has absolutely
Speaker 5: nothing to do with the plot. And I feel like
Speaker 5: Christmas is the only time of year that every syndicated
Speaker 5: show feels like we've got to have a Christmas show.
Speaker 1: Around Christmas time, they tend to do it maybe with
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving sometimes.
Speaker 5: Maybe Thanksgiving, but it's like those holidays and it's just
Speaker 5: as always felt odd to me that that is the
Speaker 5: It's not like they're like, it's going to be cold,
Speaker 5: so we should make sure we have a winter episode,
Speaker 5: or like this is on in the summer, so it
Speaker 5: has to be hot like it. It's just a bizarre
Speaker 5: thing that, like no Christmas time, people expect to see
Speaker 5: Christmas on TV.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe it's just fitting the vibe as well.
Speaker 1: You feel like maybe the networks say, look, it's the
Speaker 1: Christmas week. We want every show on our network to
Speaker 1: be doing Christmas show as well. You feel like it's
Speaker 1: something that the executives are doing as opposed to people
Speaker 1: creating the show.
Speaker 5: With that said, so I was trying to think through
Speaker 5: those worlds. Fraser has got a couple of really good
Speaker 5: Christmas episodes. Now it's hard to split, to be honest.
Speaker 5: Then I was thinking around. I was trying to get
Speaker 5: away from comedies to a degree. The West Wind has got.
Speaker 1: I was going to bring up the West Wing. No,
Speaker 1: Noel is a great one.
Speaker 5: No, wow, yeah, fucking cracking.
Speaker 1: That's the one with the art dealer, right or the
Speaker 1: Nazi art. The Nazi art one. Hey, no, there's a
Speaker 1: Christmas episode that has Nazi art involved in it.
Speaker 5: Unless there's a subplot that I'm not aware of it.
Speaker 5: Noela's where Josh Lyne and Bradley Whitford's character is dealing
Speaker 5: with the aftermath and the PTSD of the assassination attempt.
Speaker 5: If there's Nazi Yad in there, then I've probably glossed
Speaker 5: over that, just because what it does have is that
Speaker 5: phenomenal little speech from Leo at the end of it,
Speaker 5: which is just him wrapping his arms around.
Speaker 1: Him have a bit of a jerk.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but in the best way, straight into my face. Please,
Speaker 5: mister Sorkin, I am ready to accept it.
Speaker 1: I did not leave my cricket of glasses on. You
Speaker 1: go for it.
Speaker 5: Then, Mash had a couple of good ones. Yeah, there's one.
Speaker 5: I had to look up the name for this one,
Speaker 5: but Death Takes a Holiday, which was season ninth of MASH.
Speaker 5: Serious Mash, Yeah exactly. That's like post laugh track Mash.
Speaker 5: But it's a really real, the intense episode. It's a
Speaker 5: really good one. I think they kicked one off as well,
Speaker 5: Dear Dad in the first season, which is Hawkeye dressed
Speaker 5: up as Santa Claus riding around an army helicopter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do want to correct I believe the Tire
Speaker 1: Show did have a laugh track, but you can if
Speaker 1: you have the DVD switch laugh track off. I don't
Speaker 1: they ever stopped doing a laugh track.
Speaker 5: I'm sure I saw some just on Foxholder didn't.
Speaker 1: Oh but was that because Foxtown now airing the laugh
Speaker 1: tracks episodes? But mate, because Alan Older became a director,
Speaker 1: So maybe he made a decision this episode doesn't need
Speaker 1: a laugh track. Maybe you're right.
Speaker 5: It could have been that, like whether it was the
Speaker 5: whole way through, and I think it was. What my
Speaker 5: mate and I've noticing when we're watching this years ago,
Speaker 5: was the difference, Like you go from early match to
Speaker 5: go to an Allan Older's directed match, it's an entirely different. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Like to the point that you're like, did you become
Speaker 5: director or show runner? Like did Alan Older just fire everybody?
Speaker 1: You are? Right by the way, I'm looking you up.
Speaker 1: Mass stopped using a laugh track over many years, if
Speaker 1: eventually dropping it all together. The show's show runers felt
Speaker 1: that using can laughter in a series about Warrens surgeons
Speaker 1: was in poor taste. So, yeah, you're right. I haven't
Speaker 1: revisited the sh for a long time. Man. I love mash.
Speaker 5: Yeah, My dad used to really adore it, and I
Speaker 5: liked it a lot when I was a kid, just
Speaker 5: by proxy, and I haven't watched it for a long time,
Speaker 5: but i'd be keen to get back into it, I
Speaker 5: think as an adult and just you know, rewatch it
Speaker 5: from older rise. Then I've got one that's way more
Speaker 5: obscure that I'll land on, and one that I haven't
Speaker 5: actually seen that I want to talk about. I haven't
Speaker 5: watched all of the Black Mirrors, but there's a Black
Speaker 5: Mirror episode called White Christmas in the second season of
Speaker 5: Black Mirror. Have you watched much Black Mirror?
Speaker 1: Watch the first season? Yeah? Okay? Is the first season
Speaker 1: one with the pig in the well. That's first episode.
Speaker 1: That's the season.
Speaker 5: What an introduction to a TV show?
Speaker 1: Oh shit is going for it? Just for hours that
Speaker 1: pig was not saying my face please, sir.
Speaker 5: H White Christmas is an episode as I haven't seen
Speaker 5: the John Ham's in it, so it has.
Speaker 1: To be good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the obscure one though, this is one that stood
Speaker 5: out for me, and it's an interesting one because you
Speaker 5: recently took on watching House and then bailed on it early.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we're going to revisit it. We're going
Speaker 1: to make it. We're not going to binge it. We're
Speaker 1: going to watch it an episode, a couple of nights
Speaker 1: off watching another one. It's not a binge worthy show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's it's a drip feed show because it's
Speaker 5: so formulaic. Like, it's really hard to binge watch a
Speaker 5: formulate show because you really start to see through the
Speaker 5: scenes of it all. We've been doing that with Suits.
Speaker 5: We never watched Suits when it was on hard.
Speaker 1: Towards the end. It's a hard watch, man. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just it's just pretty pretty. Ship.
Speaker 5: There was a phenomenal interview. Oh well, I mean once
Speaker 5: Meghan Markle and of mate who's the star of the
Speaker 5: show whatever his name is, got off the show.
Speaker 1: You up to that point yet, Yeah, okay, that's when
Speaker 1: it starts getting real weird. When Catherine Hagel comes on.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, what's going on?
Speaker 5: Yeah? That was it is. But I also don't have
Speaker 5: to watch Meghan mark will be ship at acting, and
Speaker 5: I don't have to watch the other guy constantly be
Speaker 5: a whiny little bitch towards Harvey despite the fact that
Speaker 5: he's given everything to him on a sell the PLATF.
Speaker 1: You also need to have a drinking game every time
Speaker 1: somebody says goddamn, yes, holy shit, god damn, goddamn, goddamn.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have a goddamn drinking Actually, I don't know
Speaker 5: when it's what. They must have changed the hours, but
Speaker 5: when they start saying fuck and the beginning, it's like
Speaker 5: one per episode that they obviously would have been a
Speaker 5: rule like you're allowed one fuck, and but that only
Speaker 5: made it more weird that they would still say god
Speaker 5: damn when exactly know they wanted to say.
Speaker 1: I feel like that, said Nick, this has got to
Speaker 1: be an inside joke that is using goddamn all the time.
Speaker 1: It has to be because it's just so it just
Speaker 1: takes out at the moment going why are they saying
Speaker 1: goddamn all the time? Everything's goddamn.
Speaker 5: You're a lawyer, you're a grown man, and you're a
Speaker 5: grown woman. Patrick J. Adams, this is this is a
Speaker 5: massive digression. Patrick J. Adams, who played Mike Ross on Suits,
Speaker 5: recently in an interview I was on a podcast, sorry.
Speaker 1: On an episode of his own podcast podcast, It's about
Speaker 1: Is it about suits?
Speaker 5: It's about of course it is, He said, that Suits
Speaker 5: walked so that Succession could run off.
Speaker 2: Mate, It's my favorite favorite thing anyone has said in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: Ww we like, mate, you walked so Billions could run.
Speaker 1: We stopped watching Billions. I can't watch this tripe anymore.
Speaker 1: I mean, I love GM Marty, but man, that show
Speaker 1: went off the rails after about season four.
Speaker 5: They look they made up for a lot with the
Speaker 5: final season finally okay, but man, I couldn't really, in
Speaker 5: all seriousness recommend anyone watch it. It would still be
Speaker 5: like I'll tell you that last the last season is good,
Speaker 5: but you have to slog through so much shit to
Speaker 5: get there that it's like, No, if I had my
Speaker 5: time again, I would have just gone thanks, I'll take
Speaker 5: the first couple of seasons and then once Bobby's out,
Speaker 5: I'm out.
Speaker 1: Succession is like the real world version of Billions. Billions
Speaker 1: was just so far fetched. Succession was still also far
Speaker 1: fetched to an extent, but I still it's far more
Speaker 1: believable than what Billions was.
Speaker 5: Yes, but anyway, yeah, that that just is my favorite.
Speaker 5: Like Suits has been a it's like a six out
Speaker 5: of ten show. It's not bad, it's.
Speaker 1: Just it's one of those shows that got got on
Speaker 1: to Netflix when Netflix was just becoming a thing and
Speaker 1: everyone was like, Oh, I've you stocked out suits? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Actually, what it is whenever someone says that Ai couldn't
Speaker 5: write a script, Yeah, I reckon it could I reckon
Speaker 5: AI could bang out the suits and you wouldn't know
Speaker 5: the difference.
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of the show benefited from Markle
Speaker 1: dating Prince Harry and everyone discovering the shows it was
Speaker 1: at going oh show, Yeah, I imagine a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I feel my favorite I was gonna say
Speaker 5: my favorite thing from watching it when you do watch
Speaker 5: through it all is that everyone's every single conversation, apart
Speaker 5: from when like eventually someone admits that they're wrong, usually
Speaker 5: to Donna, every conversation everyone comes in there with the
Speaker 5: same heightened sense of like I want to fight you?
Speaker 5: Who I'm going to fight you? Well, this is the
Speaker 5: goddamn question that you asked. What are you going to
Speaker 5: do about it?
Speaker 1: Goddamn it?
Speaker 5: That's everything. I'm like, mate, I just want a bagel.
Speaker 1: And the dude from psych h Hill, Yes, his facial
Speaker 1: expression never changes when he's on suits. His face is
Speaker 1: the same whether he's angry, whether he's sad. It's just
Speaker 1: the same, and I'm like, I can't deal. I can't deal.
Speaker 1: I would be fixated on his face. I'm like, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: lift those eyebrows up. Do something something.
Speaker 5: You know that threw me the most. Actually, So you
Speaker 5: got Wendell Pearce, who plays Bunk from the Wire.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, yeah, yeah, a bunk not not ship man, no,
Speaker 1: but yeah McNaughty startner ship man. He's in a.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah he is. Does he do a ship in your?
Speaker 5: Would say, does he do a she in your? I
Speaker 5: feel like he's so close.
Speaker 1: He does something close going, I like your honor. I
Speaker 1: was disappointed they didn't renew it for the second season,
Speaker 1: a third season.
Speaker 5: I was like, third, I haven't watched the second yet.
Speaker 1: The second fine, it's yeah, it's not as good as
Speaker 1: the first.
Speaker 5: Day the anyway. So Mike Ross and who's the like
Speaker 5: pretty undiagnosed autistic blonde girl Katrina that they quote the
Speaker 5: Wire like a dozen times through suits. It's a but
Speaker 5: he doesn't know that Bunk is his father in law?
Speaker 5: What the hell? Even then, I was like, no suits,
Speaker 5: get the don't don't quote the Wire to try to
Speaker 5: act like you're cool.
Speaker 1: And your better television.
Speaker 5: Yeah, shit out of your mouth quote that was blue.
Speaker 1: They used to throw in the most ridiculous references to shows.
Speaker 1: It kind of a more obnoxious towards the end. I
Speaker 1: was like, what, you're just shoehorning in a reference here.
Speaker 1: No one would actually speak this way. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: The Billions did that as well. Where all Billions did
Speaker 5: towards the end was just speak in like metaphors and
Speaker 5: movie references and sports references, and everyone has seen and
Speaker 5: read everything. At what point do you guys make any
Speaker 5: fucking traits. You've just been sitting there studying the golden
Speaker 5: age of Hollywood for the last forty years, and more
Speaker 5: than Guy Davis.
Speaker 1: I love that this show. This has now just evolved
Speaker 1: into us ranting about the shows that have been on
Speaker 1: in the time you've been away and how bad they are.
Speaker 5: How Christmas he anyway, house MD, I told you that
Speaker 5: there's a really good through line about a cop so
Speaker 5: houses an asshole to a cop played by David Morse,
Speaker 5: who if you know David Morse, you're nodding at me.
Speaker 5: But for people that you know, it's not exactly a
Speaker 5: household name. He's one of the cops in the Green
Speaker 5: or one of the guards in the.
Speaker 1: Green copies that one of the guards yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: And for the younger generation, I think this was on
Speaker 5: Netflix recently as well. He is the neighbor in the
Speaker 5: Shila buff remake of Rear Window.
Speaker 1: Disturbia Disturbia, Yes, the one. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: Anyway, So House is a jerk to this guy and
Speaker 5: then he gets a vendetta for him. Turns out that
Speaker 5: he's yeah, he's a cop, and he starts coming at House.
Speaker 5: He thinks he has a drug addiction. And there's Christmas
Speaker 5: episode or one of the episodes set at Christmas time.
Speaker 5: It's called Merry Little Christmas season three. Halfway through and
Speaker 5: basically Wilson has delivered an ultimatum. So Wilson says, I'm
Speaker 5: going to testify. I'm going to say that I have
Speaker 5: been writing you, or that you stole my prescription pattern
Speaker 5: wrote yourself like it in. But the deal that we've
Speaker 5: got is that you're not going to go to prison.
Speaker 5: You just have to go to rehab. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 5: House throws that back in their face. He then goes
Speaker 5: cold turkey on Bikerting because he's basically just at home
Speaker 5: and no one's going to help him anymore. And it's
Speaker 5: this some really great acting from Q Laurie in it
Speaker 5: to be perfectly honest. But they're still trying to work
Speaker 5: on a case as well, so people come in to him,
Speaker 5: just him going through these various stages of withdrawal. It's
Speaker 5: you were talking about House always being snarky or like,
Speaker 5: you know, and it is like it's that formula formulate
Speaker 5: element of the show where he just keeps making quips
Speaker 5: and he's wrong and he's wrong, and he's wrong until
Speaker 5: he's right. And when you watch that day after day,
Speaker 5: you're like, Okay, it's just the same thing all the time.
Speaker 1: There was wrong, wrong, go see someone in the GP
Speaker 1: part of the hospital whatever it is season client and goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I can link your problem to the problem and already
Speaker 1: trying to solve Fuck.
Speaker 5: That's something they're doing suits all the time as well. Yeah, sorry,
Speaker 5: is he's just said it?
Speaker 1: They go like bold moment about eighty percent of the
Speaker 1: way through the episode.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like bold moment, like bulb moment. I've got to
Speaker 5: go feed my cat.
Speaker 1: What did you just say? Yes, my cat?
Speaker 5: No feed, chicken feed.
Speaker 10: Shacking up the price on chicken feed, and that's why
Speaker 10: male distributors aren't able to wear off. And the other
Speaker 10: thing that they do in suits a lot of the
Speaker 10: time is a blue folder. They'll drop a blue folder
Speaker 10: on the tage and someone will read it and they'll
Speaker 10: look at it for like three seconds and it'll be
Speaker 10: an entire hostile takeover, and like, well, I understand your plan.
Speaker 10: You have just read the author's name. I can't get
Speaker 10: off it. I've been holding this back for such a
Speaker 10: long time. Anyway, it's weird.
Speaker 1: Glad I'm not the only person because Nicola stopped watching
Speaker 1: it with me because I just kept getting I would
Speaker 1: be yelling at the screen, like I said, lift your eyebrows.
Speaker 1: Get so angry about it.

Speaker 1: It does on and this. I hate this.
Speaker 5: The head thing forgot. I know that this is a fuck.
Speaker 5: It's the editing and the director that like, it's one
Speaker 5: thing for him to do the choice to make the
Speaker 5: choice of doing it. Why do they leave the camera
Speaker 5: rolling they know he's going to do it.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. A fell at the show was trying
Speaker 1: to fuck with me. By the end, I'm like, they're
Speaker 1: doing everything that is annoying and they're just doing it
Speaker 1: more now that they've they clearly have read the reviews
Speaker 1: and gone now we can give a shit. I just
Speaker 1: just frustrated me that Lewis lick guy.
Speaker 5: What it did get?
Speaker 1: Fucking suits?
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: This out suits to me feels like the kind of
Speaker 1: show I should say to Nichola, the kind of show
Speaker 1: that people who want to be the dude from Wolf
Speaker 1: of Wall Street, that's this is their show. Oh mate,
Speaker 1: don't don't listen to Rotten Tomatoes. It's just the whole.
Speaker 5: Point four on IMDb.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is that, whether they live
Speaker 1: vi character through the characters or something. There's just something
Speaker 1: about the show that has worked for majority of the audienors.
Speaker 1: But man, I just couldn't We went through because I
Speaker 1: when Nicola were seven seasons through, we have to finish
Speaker 1: this now I can't just not finish it. Yeah, but man, oh, man,
Speaker 1: and he's getting Harvey's getting his own spin off now. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think it's a prequel to Suits the Main it's
Speaker 1: the main guy, Harvey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Harvey Spector. Will they get Gabriel Mack to
Speaker 5: play him, but they'll do the entire thing. And this
Speaker 5: is my other favorite Suits trope. Whenever they do a
Speaker 5: flashback that they will put the teams blue filter on, Yeah,
Speaker 5: to make sure you know it's a flashback, like just
Speaker 5: in case. Yes, we the wig didn't give it away
Speaker 5: that we're ten years ago now.
Speaker 1: So Pierce and She got her own show, which got
Speaker 1: canceled pretty quickly.
Speaker 5: I don't understand when, like in the scene before, Harvey
Speaker 5: was a senior partner that now now he's only just
Speaker 5: now he's now he's just in the mail room. How
Speaker 5: the continuity doesn't make sense? Oh they put a filter
Speaker 5: on for me. I get it now, that's what he
Speaker 5: used to do. Oh now we're back in present day.
Speaker 5: Thank you suits anyone that reviewed it, that's how imagine
Speaker 5: anyone reviewed it positively. That's what they sound like. And
Speaker 5: then they gave their TV a big.
Speaker 1: Couple like bagging. It's called suits La. It's not. It's
Speaker 1: not a prequel at all. I was incorrect.
Speaker 5: It's enough.
Speaker 1: His Garrison is and Stephen Rmel.
Speaker 5: Who the fuck's that Arrow? Ah? Yeah, that's I.
Speaker 1: Think it's because it looks like Mike. It's like we're
Speaker 1: gonna get actors that look like these guys.
Speaker 5: Arrow could also have been written by AI, so that
Speaker 5: make sense.
Speaker 1: Josh McDermott is in there the dufust from Walking Dead.
Speaker 1: It was lying in the third season or whatever. It
Speaker 1: is like I know, I know where the lab is.
Speaker 1: I'm a scientist or whatever. And he wasn't actually a scientist.
Speaker 5: Ah that guy? Yeah right. Gabriel Mack Noh yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: So Gabriel Mack is in it as Harvey Spector.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so maybe he maybe he's just gonna be
Speaker 1: in a few episodes. Who knows, like they'll they'll have
Speaker 1: some sort of crossover, but I think they're trying to
Speaker 1: create like a Law and Order multiverse, probably with suits. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: doesn't have the old Dick Wolf stamp of approval though,
Speaker 1: so good luck.
Speaker 5: He's not going to be able to get a bagel
Speaker 5: if he's in La Whatt's his go to morning tea
Speaker 5: going to be? Sorry? The other thing, Oh yeah, right, sorry,
Speaker 5: Josh mcdermot's had a haircut, so he doesn't look anything
Speaker 5: like what he did in Walking Dead. Okay, the other
Speaker 5: thing from Suits, and I can only imagine that it
Speaker 5: was like, well, we've paid for these locations and these sets,
Speaker 5: we're going to use them. That ninety percent of it
Speaker 5: was people coming to say one's house to have a
Speaker 5: conversation that should have been a phone call, Like someone
Speaker 5: rocks up at your house at ten thirty at night
Speaker 5: to say three lines and.
Speaker 1: Leave and then just fucking and just walk off exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: walking and throw the blue folder on the on the table,
Speaker 1: walk out.
Speaker 5: Like when did suits? When did suits there? It wasn't
Speaker 5: twenty eleven people had phones, it was It wasn't nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1: Seven, especially rich people.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they were the first ones. They would have
Speaker 5: had six of them.
Speaker 1: Well, I see I live suits at the start because
Speaker 1: it was you know, it was a regular show in
Speaker 1: the sense that each episode just felt like it lived
Speaker 1: in its own bubble where they had to crack a case.
Speaker 1: By the end of it, it was just all, like you said,
Speaker 1: angst in house drama that had nothing, but they were
Speaker 1: burning their own house down from within. He's just like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 5: It was also a lot of they couldn't get themselves
Speaker 5: away from their will they won't they storyline, And if
Speaker 5: it wasn't will they won't they about Mike and the
Speaker 5: Princess Duchess thank you Rachel, then it was well they
Speaker 5: won't they about will might get caught? Well, they won't
Speaker 5: they about Like everything was just like, let's take this
Speaker 5: dilemma and as soon as you think it's over, we'll
Speaker 5: reintroduce it and just keep repeating again and again.
Speaker 1: And when they brought him back and it was like
Speaker 1: even more annoying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then Catherine heikeel comes out of nowhere and
Speaker 5: isn't bad. But all it does now is served to
Speaker 5: remind you of how weird of a career blow up
Speaker 5: Catherine Heichel had.
Speaker 1: Apparently it was her own doing though, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: More or less like she just kept not kept, But
Speaker 5: she had a couple of fairly famous instances of shitting
Speaker 5: on people that she worked with.
Speaker 1: I was reading like, hard to deal with, hard to
Speaker 1: work with. Once you've got I feel like, once you've
Speaker 1: got that rep, it's really hard to get rid of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you'd want to be very very good. You
Speaker 5: can't just be middle of the road good.
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise could be Tom Cruise could be hard to
Speaker 1: work with totally.
Speaker 5: Meryl Street could be hard to work with. I doubt
Speaker 5: she is, but she could be. She could be a
Speaker 5: bitch to everyone. Yeah, it's the price you pay. It's
Speaker 5: Meryl stoop. Anyway, I am going to go start putting
Speaker 5: together a trampoline. Oh biggest Christmas gift for Lex which
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to. Is it a big one, decent size? Yeah,
Speaker 5: like it's it will serve her for many years.
Speaker 1: Nice. We would, we would, but kids are one of
Speaker 1: my parents plays. But the backyard's just too small here.
Speaker 1: They would just literally be you know, because we've got
Speaker 1: the big deck and they've got the cover over the
Speaker 1: deck now, so it's just yeah, there's no way way
Speaker 1: to put it.
Speaker 5: Good for catching practice though, for Elliott, even if you
Speaker 5: just go down to the dad's love a couple of
Speaker 5: balls that way.
Speaker 1: He watches Bluey Obviously he's watched the cricket episode. So
Speaker 1: now he's practicing all these different shots, like like I'm rusty,
Speaker 1: but he yesterday we're playing in the backyard and the
Speaker 1: backyard's not very big, but twelve balls when over fences
Speaker 1: and the neighbors just throw He just knows the cricket
Speaker 1: kid in the neighborhood now they just throw the balls back.
Speaker 5: Actually, the other good you might not be able to
Speaker 5: do it with modern trampolines and the side walls, but
Speaker 5: I used to find really good catching practice was trying
Speaker 5: to skim a tennis ball across the trampoline. Yeah, so
Speaker 5: makee nice down on either side of it, like it's
Speaker 5: a little slips cradle, because just depending on your angles,
Speaker 5: you could get some real pop or you could get
Speaker 5: a couple that would just shoot low. How old is
Speaker 5: Elliott again?
Speaker 1: Six six?
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so a couple of years away from like Milo, Well,
Speaker 5: I know you'd be able to do milo blasters and
Speaker 5: that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't know about it until this was too late.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he hasn't that any of that yet, but
Speaker 1: he will next year.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Also talk to me about which which clubs in Geelong
Speaker 5: are not full of dickheads.
Speaker 1: When the time comes, and before we go, we shall
Speaker 1: remind the listeners that you shall be returning. We're going
Speaker 1: to do a review. We will do it on the
Speaker 1: Oh come on, oh your faithful.
Speaker 5: Come on, oh your faithful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing a review of that. I did read
Speaker 1: out a review from a screen rant and they called
Speaker 1: it something absolutely ridiculous. You know, I find with modern
Speaker 1: day Simpsons a lot of screen rants, and that just
Speaker 1: really talk it up because I feel a lot of
Speaker 1: the show's creators now are constantly on social media, just
Speaker 1: looking for any praise they can find to retweet and
Speaker 1: reshare in their personal pages. So all these pages, all
Speaker 1: these websites like screen rant and comic book dot com,
Speaker 1: they just overinflate the egos of these people to say
Speaker 1: it's like the greatest thing, and it's just like it's not.
Speaker 1: It's fine, it's okay, it's not the greatest. What was
Speaker 1: What was there one line of some of the lines
Speaker 1: of was one of the greatest. Here we go the
Speaker 1: Simpsons Christmas version review screen rant oh, come on all
Speaker 1: year Faithful is an unforgettable master class an animated comedy storytelling,
Speaker 1: an unforgettable masterclass. Come on, guys, it's fine. It's a
Speaker 1: solid six. It's not a modern day master class. What
Speaker 1: are we doing here?
Speaker 5: You'd marry, you'll marry a solid six.
Speaker 1: But anyway, but our review will not be that.
Speaker 5: I was on the Disney Plus and I didn't know
Speaker 5: how long has season one not been season one? For
Speaker 5: in the listing? Season one is like season ninety nine.
Speaker 5: They buried it way down the bottom of Disney, not
Speaker 5: on mine. I don't know why yours of mine would
Speaker 5: be any different.
Speaker 1: Let me go to the Disney Plus. The kids were
Speaker 1: watching the original Christmas episode two days ago, and I
Speaker 1: defined it the first episode. It was just their season one.
Speaker 1: This has been a glitch because so many people are
Speaker 1: trying to watch it. Let's have a look. Let's go
Speaker 1: to watch list Simpsons. I'm going to now episode season
Speaker 1: You are right, the season one's gone. What the heck
Speaker 1: you had to season ninety nine? Yeah, that must have
Speaker 1: happened in the last twenty four to forty eight hours.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, really bizarre, like this strange to hide it,
Speaker 5: I'm going to screenshop that and put it on the
Speaker 5: page and be like, what's up?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what the fuck? Also, that is weird what happens
Speaker 5: when The Simpsons inevitably gets to season ninety nine.
Speaker 1: Because they're going to get there. Yeah, you'll never stop
Speaker 1: the Simpsons. All right, it's been nice. You shall be
Speaker 1: returning with the review of the Christmas Special. But until then,

Speaker 1: can be very new and exciting in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Lots of exciting plans and I can't wait too finally
Speaker 1: implement them. Just getting everything in order. But we asked
Speaker 1: for some of the words question, Mitch is back. Mitch

Speaker 1: who knows. So we've got some mailbag questions from your
Speaker 1: from you all out there, the patrons, the guys who

Speaker 1: if you listen to our review of Miracle on Evergreen Terrace,
Speaker 1: you know that's not my favorite. My favorite is Marge
Speaker 1: be not proud, but I do think that's the better
Speaker 1: Christmas special. The first episode of the Simpsons is just fantastic,
Speaker 1: just the way they get sands of a helper and
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. Favorite Simpsons related Christmas memory well, I remember
Speaker 1: getting a Simpsons season box it from my nan. I
Speaker 1: think it might have been season one. It was just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, the Simpsons a DVD that was great
Speaker 1: and all you know those moments when you're a Christmas
Speaker 1: when you're a kidd and it's Christmas time and you
Speaker 1: think I really want this, but I'm probably not going
Speaker 1: to get it, and then your parents come through and
Speaker 1: they get it for you. For me, it was behind you.
Speaker 1: I've still got them. The season one VHS collection, Oh
Speaker 1: my Goodness, thirteen episodes across three VHS takes for the
Speaker 1: lovel of price of fifty nine ninety five. But I
Speaker 1: remember getting that and I my mum is saying it's
Speaker 1: too expensive, you can't get it, throw me off Red
Speaker 1: Herring the fake out, Yeah, just psych and then opened
Speaker 1: on present. It was there. I couldn't believe. I was like,
Speaker 1: I think that it was too much. She goes, oh, no,
Speaker 1: I was just checking, just checking you out. Good on
Speaker 1: your mom. I'm gonna double. Uh what's the word.
Speaker 2: I'm looking a second, That's what I'm gonna second. What
Speaker 2: Dana said about March Bead I Proud being the best
Speaker 2: Christmas episode Simpsons run Christmas Memories. This is sort of
Speaker 2: Christmas adjacent because I think it was towards the end
Speaker 2: of the year, near Christmas time. But I remember I
Speaker 2: was I was singing all the stage. I was hanging
Speaker 2: out with my friend savvy Steve, just chilling on his couch,
Speaker 2: you know, probably drinking and maybe even smoking stuff like cigarettes,
Speaker 2: not not jazz cigarettes, but regular cigarettes.
Speaker 1: And enjoying like a hello jet, jet's getting very friendly.
Speaker 1: Hey there, buddy, I see his tail was waging. He's
Speaker 1: like like your near, Oh buddy, you're gonna run out
Speaker 1: the dog with a dog with a sausage in his
Speaker 1: mouth and the come back here with that.
Speaker 5: I need it.
Speaker 2: And just watching a bunch of Simpson's episodes, yeah them
Speaker 2: from the late afternoon into me I wouldn't say that
Speaker 2: for a good few hours, and just you know, feeling
Speaker 2: very at peace with the world. I think that was
Speaker 2: probably when my love the Last Tentpation.
Speaker 1: Of Homer came from. You love that episode. I love
Speaker 1: that episode.
Speaker 2: And I think that's maybe, if not the first time
Speaker 2: I watched it, and certainly the first time, that I
Speaker 2: really appreciate, because I think there's a difference.
Speaker 1: The first time watching it first time understanding or not understand,
Speaker 1: but it's appreciated it because.
Speaker 2: I remember just laughing like a loon at that. So yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a good memory.
Speaker 1: All right. Rach Beasley says, what's been your best or
Speaker 1: favorite moment this year? Any news resolutions? So we've talked
Speaker 1: about news resolutions, but what's been our favorite of the year.
Speaker 1: There have been some standouts. I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: people keep bringing up there. I know it was this year,
Speaker 1: but the Devil's Advocate ding Ding Ding Ding, that was great.
Speaker 1: I've mentioned it recently. I loved our discussion on the
Speaker 1: Trojan Horse in the South Great. We discussed that in
Speaker 1: our South Park season wrap up. Many particular favorite moments
Speaker 1: for you just on the podcast Just in Life.
Speaker 2: I know what you mean, Yeah, I mean, but this
Speaker 2: is podcast related. I like that we sort of expanded
Speaker 2: the four Finger Discount universe to be talking about because
Speaker 2: we you know, we talk about the Simpsons in South
Speaker 2: Park and all these various shows and that. But you know,
Speaker 2: a lot of our a lot of our personal life
Speaker 2: has been coming corporated into the shows, but also just
Speaker 2: the everyday ship that we do, particularly around Geelong. I
Speaker 2: mean a lot of people listening around the world, going
Speaker 2: these local references.
Speaker 1: For local people, what the hell are they talking to you?
Speaker 1: Pale faced guy and pale guys. The fact that you know,
Speaker 1: he becomes the characters, a supporting character in the in
Speaker 1: the fourth.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the fact that I would say, oh, because
Speaker 2: you know, this coal supermarket is what maybe what three
Speaker 2: or four k from.
Speaker 1: Five minute drive. Yeah, as as a lot of playing
Speaker 1: places in Geelong, it's a five minute drive from from
Speaker 1: when you're closer to the city we've called the city.
Speaker 1: It's just everything's close.
Speaker 2: But this supermarket is close to both where Dandel and
Speaker 2: I live. We both frequent it. And I said, there's
Speaker 2: this guy really good at his job. I'm talking about
Speaker 2: the pale guy. I think it's one of the good
Speaker 2: things about living in I mean, Geelong likes to build itself.
Speaker 2: It's a regional city, so it's not a small town.
Speaker 2: But having said that, it does have a little bit
Speaker 2: of a small town mentality in that everybody can't not
Speaker 2: everybody knows everybody, but there's three degrees.
Speaker 1: Of separation opposed to sex.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fact that you know, we're able to
Speaker 2: say pale guy and you know who pale guy is,
Speaker 2: I think is great. It's something that I just think
Speaker 2: it adds something nice to the show. It does and
Speaker 2: to our conversation.
Speaker 1: And then you brought up weird Maskid and and then
Speaker 1: then and then there's weird maskd Fuck that guy. No, No,
Speaker 1: he's cool as well, but he's not. He's no Pale Guy.
Speaker 1: He doesn't help you. No, he's like if I must,
Speaker 1: But Pale Guy's like, who help? Who help? He's who
Speaker 1: you want on your team. Oh, he's a self start
Speaker 1: of that guy. He's he's the one where they everyone
Speaker 1: just knows. I'm Colin sick. I'll call Pale Guy. He'll
Speaker 1: feeling for me. He's fast tracked. That guy. He's on
Speaker 1: the management track. He'll be he'll be running the joint eventually,
Speaker 1: has to be. You can tell me every supermarke you
Speaker 1: go to, he's gonna be running the shot one day.
Speaker 2: So, as they say in the classics, God bless us everyone,
Speaker 2: but especially Pale Guy.
Speaker 1: Like I said when I saw him out of his
Speaker 1: habitat when he was walking the dog that day, I
Speaker 1: was like, it's Pale Guy. He's like walking into doing
Speaker 1: try and teach it on the street. And I was like,
