Wow. 17 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.079 Okay, then, look, I must admit my expectations were close 18 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.400 to rock bottom. 19 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.400 Going into this like that. I get the feeling any. 20 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.159 Time a show maybe tries to tackle the very thorny 21 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:16.040 topic of. 22 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.480 Race, and particularly the sort of history and legacy of 23 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.560 slavery in America, there's. 24 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.200 A chance that it's either going to be incredibly tone 25 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:29.000 definite sensitive or hand ringingly kind of apologetic, and that 26 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.319 latter one probably justified, but at the same time not 27 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.599 necessarily that entertaining. 28 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.120 There's no there's no in this. Yeah, there's no. He's 29 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:37.719 the thing that I thought. 30 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.519 There were plenty of gags in this, and some more 31 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.239 than a few that actually worked pretty well. 32 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.599 I think for me, I'm watching this going I just 33 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.840 don't see the point of any of this. Yeah. I 34 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:48.280 got to the end and I went, what did I 35 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.280 just watch? Because okay, let's start some positives, right, okay, 36 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.879 and positives have nothing to do with this episode, all right, 37 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:56.879 It's just that it happened to me this week. So 38 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.120 I've got a new TV, so let's talk that. That's good. 39 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.879 The color was not yellow. The color was very vibrant. 40 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.519 I bought a for those who playing your home, a 41 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.120 Samsung eighty three inch S ninety five f O lead TV. 42 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.280 Oh my god, the lovely Luise recently bought a new TV, 43 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.520 new Samsung. First first thing she said to me was like, 44 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.520 it's as thin as a postcard. Yeah, it's very thin. Yeah, 45 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:19.439 so this sum is incredibly vibrant as well. I'm like, 46 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.800 did you you got floor stock. You got the one 47 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.759 that looks like it actually is on when you go 48 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.280 into JB or The Good. 49 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.560 Guys or whatever. She hadn't taken off store mode yet. 50 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.879 Deftly correct, but please can. Yeah, it's a it's a 51 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.680 matte finish. It's very it's anti glare technology and they've 52 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.599 never done it before, and I wass I bought it. 53 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.240 Sort of threw a mate who works at the store. 54 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.439 You're like a pink Shutgary. I'm not babular enough to 55 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.840 have a new bread. So I got it and put 56 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:43.319 it on, and I was like, this is great because 57 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.680 you can literally shot a torch it and doesn't reflect. 58 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.479 It's just anti reflects. Because the annoying thing was when 59 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.599 you were watching TV in the living area. Tip to 60 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.479 people at home, if you're trying to enjoy your TV, 61 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.840 don't don't shy torch at it. But the thing is 62 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.360 the kitchen light will beyond or the dining area light 63 00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.560 beyond a bit giant glare right in the middle of 64 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.199 the screen like kids are in their dinner. I'm trying 65 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.479 to watch TV. I just have to put up with 66 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:04.960 it because I've got they can't eat in the dark. 67 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.719 But now they come in flashing torches. But now now 68 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.479 it's fine. Yeah, it's really good and it looks great 69 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.840 and finally can watch four K movies in four K 70 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.759 in HDR and all all that is good news. Also, 71 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.400 the HDR is kind of dull, though it's very well, 72 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:20.879 I know, the blacks are meant to be black and 73 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.680 all this kind of stuff, and I'm going, but it's 74 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:23.360 very dark. 75 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.199 It's amazing how on the same page you and Lou 76 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.759 when it comes to this thing, because I think we 77 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.800 were flicking between channels or something, it's like, wow, the 78 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.360 blacks are really black. Yeah, which leads us into the 79 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:33.840 color hell. 80 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:39.639 Your thoughts. 81 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.479 As I said, now, I thought this had the possible 82 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.319 to go all kinds of wrong, and honestly for the 83 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.719 first maybe third and I was like, this ain't great. 84 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.479 It's an okay setup. I think the sort of like 85 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.520 going back into history. And there's been a lot of 86 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.719 talk I think in recent year, maybe the last couple 87 00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.479 of decades, probably before that, but it seems most you know, 88 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.719 so in the two thousands, there's been a lot about, 89 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.159 particularly with wide Americans, reckoning with your legacy in your 90 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.400 past and that kind of thing. And it's like I 91 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.280 think you know the show is that who do you 92 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.759 think you are? Where they talk about your history. Yeah, 93 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.719 and I think they had the American version of that. 94 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.959 They were going to profile Ben Affleck or Ben Affleck 95 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.560 was going to be on it, and then you sort 96 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.199 of look back into his past like, oh, I think 97 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.319 we might have been slave owners back in the day. 98 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.199 And I don't know if he pulled the pin on 99 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.279 it or his pr or his PR said, but anyway, 100 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.160 something like that. 101 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.279 You've just throw an afflic under the bus. It might 102 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:33.800 not have been athletic or do you Definitely, I'm pretty 103 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.160 sure it has been out usually right with these days. 104 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:42.240 Matt Damon told me this, So yeah, I mean I 105 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.839 think it could be. I think it's an interesting topic. 106 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.879 I think you've got to be, as I said, very 107 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.680 delicate in how you handle it. And for the first 108 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.920 third of this at least, it felt like, no, this 109 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.160 is just sort of going through the motions. Was the 110 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:55.879 story that I feel like we've had before. And that 111 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.680 was another one of my gripes, at least of the 112 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.519 Simpson right sure, where she's trying to figure out why 113 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.720 the Simpson gene is always so dumb. As you realize 114 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.879 the female Simpson Jean is actually really smart and they succeed, 115 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:07.879 and the this, that and the other, going, are we 116 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.920 just forgetting all this? Oh? You know you're we've already 117 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.680 I know this is what twenty one? So this is 118 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.399 twelve years ago. That's not an entire generation, but twelve 119 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.120 twelve year is a long time, but still an arm 120 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.839 As watch's going, it just feels like the same thing. 121 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.040 It's not exactly the same, but it was close enough 122 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.240 for me to just go, Yeah, but how many of 123 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.000 our new pals from Simpson's HQ who have been speaking 124 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.399 to us on the show, I've been saying, you know, 125 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.480 forget Canon, forget timeline, all that kind of stuff. So 126 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.160 I guess that is the case. I don't mind about Cannon, 127 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.000 but the thing is, you just tell them the same story. Yeah, 128 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:41.399 Well what do I always say? Though? 129 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.279 You know, taking existingly put a clock in it. There's 130 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:44.639 only so many times you can put a clock in 131 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:45.000 But this. 132 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.279 Time they took existing idea to put a slave in it, 133 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:51.600 and that's why it works so effectively. 134 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.040 You'll see that I'm doing these terrible jokes in bad days, 135 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.680 But for mine, this episode kind of kicked into gear 136 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.519 a little but when they made a joke that felt 137 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.920 a little bit risky and it's not, you know, provocative, 138 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:06.079 But I. 139 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:07.680 Thought this was actually pretty good gag. 140 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.560 When it sort of revealed, oh, oh my god, we 141 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.399 were slave, I think Homer said, oh God, for once, 142 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.560 the Simpsons were in management. Yeah, so that's a joke 143 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.680 that really skirts the line of bad taste. But it's 144 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.000 also I think it's pretty funny. 145 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.800 Yeah, And it's not on the nose so much that 146 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.279 even kids at home wouldn't they're probably over their heads, 147 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.680 you know what I mean. But the adults are home 148 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.759 and go, I see what you did there. Yeah. 149 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.439 And look, a lot of the gags that I enjoyed 150 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.639 in this aren't necessarily of that ILK called that that mode. 151 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.439 A lot of them are just sort of pretty straightforward 152 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.199 sitcom gags. A lot of them worked for me pretty well. 153 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.720 And I think by the final Yeah, in the last 154 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.879 half of this episode, I was like, this has got 155 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.399 some okay structure to it in a lot of ways. 156 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.920 I'm not I'm not sure how I felt about the ending. 157 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.480 Well, it just there's two ways of looking at the ending, right. 158 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.199 So the ending is that Grandpa explains that no, actually, 159 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:02.000 your family doesn't descend from this what would you call what? 160 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.160 What was harm with it? His name? M Yeah? Yeah? 161 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.040 What what was just a white slave owner? I guess 162 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.319 just a descend from slave owners. We descend from actual slaves, right, 163 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.680 which throws so much out the window. It doesn't make 164 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.480 any sense. But like continuity, timeline whatever. Now that aside, 165 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.439 The problem is why are they now Simpsons? Then because 166 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.120 him was the Simpson's she divorced him, and then it 167 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.720 said because he didn't have a last name, Virgil the 168 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.519 slave when she made him, he took her last name. 169 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.519 What was her last name? Simpson? It doesn't make any 170 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.160 sense when you put it that way. Yeah. Now here's 171 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:42.040 another thing that I had Simpsons there because the show 172 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.519 is called the Simpson But he's explaining this story and 173 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.279 even Lisa's like, so we didn't descend from them. I 174 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.199 was like, we didn't descend from Simpsons either, who are you? 175 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.160 Eliza is actually not related to you. Eliza was Marge's 176 00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:00.199 or Mabel's daughter, So Eliza is a half rel half 177 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.519 blood relative. Then I get that right, Oh, man, don't 178 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.319 get me started on family trees. And yeah, because it's 179 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.600 what I'm really confusing. It's why But the other side 180 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.399 of looking at the grandpas story was though he saw 181 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.279 how sad Lisa was knowing this, he made it up 182 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:15.800 on the spot. 183 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.839 That's what I thought, because you see his face going, oh, 184 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.439 look how sad she is. I'm going to rework the 185 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:22.759 timeline to make her happier. 186 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.680 You're not racist. I mean, that's. 187 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.199 Honestly what I thought for a second there, because why 188 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.559 include that shot of him looking like maybe I can 189 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.000 save the day here by coming up with something out 190 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:35.519 of whole cloth. 191 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.159 And I think they tried to sort of get arounded 192 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.159 by saying, why didn't you tell us till now because 193 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.840 we're all old and racist, and it's like that doesn't 194 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.480 make sense, no, And that felt like to me what 195 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.200 I was saying earlier, where you know episodes or shows 196 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.720 that acknowledged this kind of thing, there's really thorny, complicated, 197 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.919 complicated A polite way of putting it to history can 198 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.720 get kind of like very apologetic and. 199 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.720 Often justifiedly suck. That's at the same time was like 200 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.600 you went all this way with it, dodging that bullet. 201 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.759 But yeah, I honestly thought that that what Grandpa was doing. 202 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.720 He just he just made some shit up. Yeah, people 203 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.120 just say shit, and Lisa was so blind by wanting 204 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.320 to not need to be righteous. Yeah, absolutely, she chose 205 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.000 to turn a blind eye to it all. The other 206 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.879 thing that annoys me, and I've said this before on 207 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.440 the podcast, is when they do one hundred years Ago 208 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.559 in Springfield and it's all just the same characters in 209 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:31.120 the same roles. No one is so Smithers relatives were 210 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.480 working for Bath like you're animated. 211 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.360 Yeah, you mean, I know, we like our core characters 212 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.080 and things like that, and we like seeing them in 213 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.600 sort of different scenarios or whatever. 214 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.879 But it's like great great grandfather, he's the police officer. Yeah, 215 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.039 you don't necessarily, you don't have to hire new actors. 216 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.200 You can keep costs down. You can just draw something 217 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.759 and it might mean more, it might feel more different 218 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.240 if it's not just you know, Colonel Burns and he's 219 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.720 like he's Smithers and of course it's Colonel Burts. And 220 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.279 it's really weird ending for the Burns arc there where 221 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.759 he pops out in the library and he says, what 222 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.519 does he say. 223 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.159 I haven't heard my father's name in agent, so, which 224 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.240 means he's really old. I mean, that's one thing I 225 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.320 one of my favorites. 226 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.759 So the colonel, So the colonel was his father, But 227 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.360 then in Rose it's like, so is he is the 228 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.519 colonel the guy from rosel I know, Timeline, just like. 229 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.519 I hadn't thought about that. The reason that I thought 230 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.480 it was not bad was because you've initially it's being 231 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.559 told through the Simpson's eyes. They're going through the dire. 232 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.519 It's like, oh, okay, well this is one point of 233 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:29.159 view of history. 234 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.399 I thought it was actually pretty not rad. That's overselling it, dope. 235 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.679 I thought it was wigwig whack when that was good? 236 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:38.360 When when. 237 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.600 When Millhouse stood up at the assembly, did the slow clap, 238 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.960 is like, here's another version or he yeah, he's he's 239 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.080 another perspective, and then yeah, look they didn't really oversell 240 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.639 this or go too far with it. But when burn 241 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.720 sticks his head out in the library and goes, oh, 242 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.000 you know, my father was involved in this as well, 243 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.440 and he's his I thought we were going to get 244 00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.000 more of his perspective, which don't think we did. 245 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.799 The thing is so, so what was the point of 246 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.720 this episode, What was the point of it? What? What? What? 247 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.840 What were they going for here with this? That's what 248 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:10.919 I got to the end and I went, why did 249 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.279 I need? What did I just watch? Well? 250 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.120 Sorry, you didn't really learn a whole lot. Well you 251 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.399 learned a whole lot of new stuff about the Simpsons family, 252 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.679 or did you. Yeah, you didn't really sort of know 253 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:23.480 where they stood on other than on a very sort 254 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:23.799 of but. 255 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.440 It's made it's it's a made up revisionist issue of 256 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.559 the family. It's like we've had we've got their thoughts 257 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.879 on oppressive and divisive issue, but you know they really 258 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:36.080 take the earth chattering position that slavery bad. Yeah, and 259 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.679 Eliza I just went on to live a very miserable 260 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.039 life without a mother. Is that what happened? Did she? 261 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.879 So she's, oh, that's right, because that's you don't get 262 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.600 to speak. You have to write your feelings in diaries 263 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.440 and we'll discover it years later. Oh God, forgot about that, 264 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:56.120 Virgil And was her name margin Mabel? Mabel? They went 265 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.240 to Canada. They left the Canada and just left poor 266 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.720 Eliza by herself with the dad. Oh. She just yeah, 267 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.639 you probably should have you probably should have added like a. 268 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.399 CODEA or something or where It's like, I don't know, 269 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:08.480 she became like Louis and mayo little women. 270 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.799 Well, we saw what happened to her. She lived miserable. 271 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.720 She finds the video in the library. That's scared. So 272 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.879 she just the rest of her life. She's just abandoned 273 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.200 by her mother and left to think that she's Oh, 274 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.639 I hadn't I hadn't thought about that. I'm just I'm 275 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.200 clearly heartless. But because that sucks, because the thing is, 276 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.440 she lived her life apparently, Eliza. I know this is 277 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.360 all just lot, it's just a cartoon. But if I'm 278 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.360 in the writer's room, I'm asking these questions. We need 279 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.320 to make logic of this, or don't do it. So 280 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.759 Lisa goes to the library and randomly just finds some 281 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.519 the correct video of Eliza being interviewed, saying that she 282 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:42.159 lived her life miserable, known that she sold out shet, 283 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:43.480 she sold out this, or she was part of a 284 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.639 family that sold out the slave. But she would have 285 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.799 known that the slave left because he left with her mum. 286 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.279 Yeah, well you need a scene where this could be 287 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:53.759 a bit of a downer, where you know, maybe Lis 288 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.840 would have saying I have to go, or you know, 289 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.519 I have to I have to take Virgil of freedom 290 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.240 or something. I have to do what you couldn't you know, 291 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:02.120 I'm coming around your way. 292 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.120 I'm trying to throw I'm trying to throw band aids 293 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.080 on all these cracks. And it's just like I don't 294 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:08.360 but I don't care enough to do this. Just break 295 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.519 you're throwing. You're throwing band aids on someone who's fallen 296 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.639 from one hundred story building. Yeah, like the Numby ain't 297 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.360 putting you back together again. This is just a pointless episode. 298 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.200 I just was not a fan. I just got to 299 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.840 the end, mainly because I'm racist, correct, But what is 300 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.200 going And I thought, because I've never seen the color purple, 301 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.159 and because of the title, I thought, maybe this is 302 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.960 just a take on the color yellow. I cut the 303 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.039 color purple, and I'm just because I haven't seen the 304 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.320 source material, it's just lost on it. It's not related, 305 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.440 and so it's not So what fucking guy's name? What 306 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.480 were they doing here with this? What was the point 307 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.320 of any of this when the twelve years a Slave 308 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.200 come out twenty twelve, twelve is a Slave wasn't even 309 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:47.159 out yet. I don't get what they were going for. 310 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.679 It's such a random thing to do. I wonder if 311 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:53.039 it air during Black history month. I mean, okay, then, 312 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.039 so I guess that's the point Black History Month. Yeah, 313 00:13:55.080 --> 00:14:03.960 I get ya. But still favorite moments, my favorite didavity 314 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.240 I had of you. I mean, like I mentioned, I 315 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.200 thought the one I've got a real bad cough at 316 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.000 the moment, listeners were a pretty good cough. 317 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.080 I yeah, But once the Simpsons were in management, I 318 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.600 thought was not a bad gag. I liked the whole 319 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.600 Why was it called the underground railroad? No, it was 320 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.879 not a railroad, and it was no actual trains and 321 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.440 it was actually above ground. Well why was it called 322 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:27.240 the above ground train? Things like, yeah, good point. Yeah, 323 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.840 the whole quick while you're ahead motto was like it 324 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.879 was just unfinished. That's pretty good. My favorite partner. Yeah, 325 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.159 that's actually that's sort of like Golden Age gag. And 326 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.879 also this is a very this is a dumb gag. 327 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:41.600 But it kind of worked for me. 328 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.200 Hey boy, wanted your marjor On Selmer and tell us, 329 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.240 tell us she's ugly. It's a nice nod to, you know, 330 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:49.240 the Civil Rights movie and. 331 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.000 The big march in Selmo back in the back in 332 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.519 the day, and at the end, nice Lincoln cameo. That 333 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:59.399 kind of worked. Yes, yes, it was. 334 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.440 I'm not going to say all time or of a gag. 335 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:06.600 It's like it did help end slavery, so he did. Yes, yes, it. 336 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:09.240 Ties in Those are probably my favorites. I also like 337 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.679 just the banner out the front of the school when 338 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.200 they do a Black History month next month March. Yes, 339 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.159 next question, you there eating the beast? All right? Trivia time? 340 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.720 What top of car does Skinner drive in this episode? 341 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.279 At least kios? Okay, yes, indeed, in missus Hoover's lesson plan, 342 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.519 what day does she have a film strip day or 343 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.159 date day? I think it was like a Thursday, very close. 344 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.240 It was Friday, Friday. Go a round out with a 345 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.159 film strip. Yeah, I'm trying to look. I think I'm 346 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.039 visualizing the camera and going it seems like Thursday. How 347 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:47.679 many times has Virgil tried to escape? Twelve? Said four? Oh? 348 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:49.759 Really this is my fourteenth? She those my first time, 349 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:50.759 and hears this is my fourteenth. 350 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.240 Oh I thought he said it was his twelfth. But no, 351 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.879 I think you're probably right. Fourteenth sounds better because. 352 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.559 Fourteenth doesn't sound like twelve. I don't I so sure 353 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.559 how would have maybe? Maybe I'm yeah, twelve years of 354 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:02.080 slave probably am you know? 355 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.879 There was a Reader's Digest by centennial edition. I believe 356 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.080 by a centennial edition. I believe in the headlines, aren't 357 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.720 you only one? I didn't get them? 358 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.600 Okay? Yeah? 359 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.240 Who explained the plot of the sting in that edition 360 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.600 of Reader's Digest? It was Dick Cabot, was it? 361 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.279 It was? There was a whole bunch of those in there. 362 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.360 I'm like, could have fun with this, but so what 363 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.639 so what's the gag there? Are you aware of? Readon? 364 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.799 Do you know what Read's Digest is? Or yeah, well 365 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.559 you used to see dropped off of their house all 366 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.399 the time. Yeah, I don't want these, I just take them. 367 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.279 What's the people from Readers? Please take the people just 368 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:37.480 come to the door and say, would you like some 369 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:42.240 Readers Digests? We're like no, fine, like just take them. Oh, 370 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.159 I don't know. Maybe it wasn't just maybe it was. 371 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.879 I think are you thinking like Jehovah's Witnesses Wness book? Yes, 372 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.159 that's only completely yeah yeah yeah, but these little books 373 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:51.559 and we're like we don't want them, like, just just 374 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.120 take them up. We don't fucking want give them to 375 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:55.519 somebody who does want. Yeah. 376 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.639 No, Read's Digest was essentially like a little bridged books. 377 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.240 We used to them in the house. Yeah, like a magazine, 378 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.680 but also would have like, I can't be bother reading 379 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:06.480 the whole book, give me the gist. It was pretty much, 380 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:12.319 you know, predated everything that we're living in now, the tiktoks. God, yeah, 381 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.319 that's exactly right, the YouTube shorts of books. 382 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:20.440 So yeah, Dick Cabott was in there. All right, your 383 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:25.279 next question finally for me? Who was in Ralph's dream? Oh? Elmo? Yeah? 384 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.559 And oh was it cast a toy story? Have a 385 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.279 buzz light year? I think? Oh, okay, I thought he 386 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.359 said el Elmo on toy story. Maybe maybe I had 387 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:33.640 other toy story. I just had buzz light He was 388 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:34.000 in my head. 389 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:36.880 Yeah, I have a note here. Let's have a moratorium 390 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.759 on Ralph until you can come up with better gags. 391 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.640 Other than that, I'm stupid, Yeah, because adds nothing. 392 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.279 He is adding nothing, and you are diminishing the good 393 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.480 will that I have towards Ralph. Even you know, what's 394 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.839 the Tutor Choose Me episode? 395 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.720 What's it called? That's He's breakout episodes? Yeah, I know, 396 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.599 but what's the title of the I Love Lisa? I 397 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.960 Love Lisa yeah, I love that episode, and we guess 398 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.880 hero's ending. That's the hero's ending. Yeah, he's not an idiot. 399 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.640 And everything that you're doing right now Simpsons during season 400 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.680 twenty one is really sort of just diminishing any good 401 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.559
