Speaker 1: I didn't make this terrible model my dad did. Why
Speaker 1: can't you guys let us do things for ourselves. In
Speaker 1: the words of Oscar Wild, experience is simply the name
Speaker 1: we give to our mistakes. I saw him too, Dad.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I gotta carry it away from now on.
Speaker 2: The Only thing I'll ever do for you is coad syne.
Speaker 2: If you want a gun four.
Speaker 3: Finger Discount, dude, welcome to four Finger Discount, where this
Speaker 3: week we're here to review father knows Worst.
Speaker 4: I'm Dando, and I am guy who knows the worst.
Speaker 5: Out of you. And I well, I was about to say,
Speaker 5: you're the father? Do you know worse? I think the Godfather?
Speaker 4: Please excuse me.
Speaker 5: That's that was a terrible brand. Now let me try
Speaker 5: that again. Then though, when they can bud guess.
Speaker 4: The Bible hit the difference between that one and the
Speaker 4: one you just did.
Speaker 5: Are you kidding? The second one was like fifteen percent better.
Speaker 5: But you're the father here, and look, based on the
Speaker 5: children that I've seen you raise so far, the ones
Speaker 5: you acknowledge, I.
Speaker 4: Thought you were implying father of fourthing a discount. My
Speaker 4: I'm actually a father. I may I understand you now,
Speaker 4: I'm on the same wavelength. Sorry, sir, oh okay, Well
Speaker 4: you've birthed so many things. Well, actually you have, you
Speaker 4: haven't birthed them.
Speaker 5: Yes, you had like ten seconds of effort, and then
Speaker 5: there was like nine minutes of come on again again.
Speaker 5: I overestimate. But you are a father of many things.
Speaker 5: You're a father of a podcast network. You're a father
Speaker 5: of two lovely children. You're a father of three rambunctious cats.
Speaker 5: You never know worse, everything's running smoothly. I mean I
Speaker 5: came into the fourth Finger Discount Studios today. Dat know
Speaker 5: it's looking neat in here or a change? What's going on? So, yeah,
Speaker 5: you've clearly got your life together. You're clearly the patter familias.
Speaker 5: What's your secret.
Speaker 4: Having guests come over to the house and go we
Speaker 4: need to clean up now?
Speaker 5: This is why I don't have guests at the house anymore.
Speaker 5: Lou said to me, the is a bit at your place.
Speaker 5: I said, I know this.
Speaker 4: Strategically planned to be this way.
Speaker 5: What's your point.
Speaker 4: I actually have a house, been living in a box.
Speaker 4: I saw that to pay for the box.
Speaker 5: Please move your cube, so father knows worst.
Speaker 4: I really liked this, I said, I always watched them twice.
Speaker 4: First time I watched it in bed, I was tired
Speaker 4: and I fell asleep halfway through. I was like, whenever,
Speaker 4: this is stupid.
Speaker 5: Second time I.
Speaker 4: Watched it, and I watched it more of a father mindset.
Speaker 4: I thought Homer for the most part in this one
Speaker 4: was genuinely trying to make an effort to improve button
Speaker 4: Lisa's lives and not really for any personal gain. Was
Speaker 4: it was, if anything, maybe the embarrassment of having kids
Speaker 4: who weren't succeeding, but it was. It's not like he
Speaker 4: was getting anything really out of them. Winning the award,
Speaker 4: Like the thousand dollars wasn't going to him, it was
Speaker 4: going to Bart's college.
Speaker 5: No, No, but it does feed his ego in some way.
Speaker 5: As he said, he says, ah, my son's a loser
Speaker 5: and my daughter's a loner. I'm not a parent. Of course,
Speaker 5: you want what's best for your kids. But at the
Speaker 5: same time, do you ever feel like your kid's accomplishments,
Speaker 5: all their personalities or anything they do sort of reflects
Speaker 5: on you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the time. And I and I.
Speaker 5: Don't necessarily mean that, and they're like, yeah, in a
Speaker 5: personal sort of ego kind of way.
Speaker 4: No, you can't help, but just say, like, if your
Speaker 4: kid's misbehaving at the restaurant, you can't help but feel like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's reflecting on your parenting.
Speaker 5: Yeah. How many times have you know, we've been in
Speaker 5: the supermarket or as you say, in a restaurant, any
Speaker 5: public place where a kid is acting up and you
Speaker 5: you know better, of course you do, in your heart
Speaker 5: of heart, in your mind of mind, you go, look,
Speaker 5: it's not the mum's fault that you know. This kid
Speaker 5: is clearly having a bad day or has issues of
Speaker 5: some kind or whatever. I can't blame the parents, but
Speaker 5: you know, for a split second you're going to go,
Speaker 5: didn't raise that kid?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: And I think before I was a parent, I was
Speaker 4: more of the mentality, especially on a plane, right and
Speaker 4: the kids crying, I'd go, shut your kid up, will you.
Speaker 4: I now have the mindset of I know how you feel.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I don't mind if the parent is trying. If
Speaker 4: the parent is trying to control the kid and the
Speaker 4: kid is just not cooperating, I feel sorry for the
Speaker 4: parent now where I never used to. I just go
Speaker 4: just shut the kid up, will you? If the parent
Speaker 4: is still making no effort That's when I get annoyed,
Speaker 4: because I know I've been in the situation. I go,
Speaker 4: if you just try, if you're just trying, then I
Speaker 4: forgive you. But if you do not even try, and
Speaker 4: I guess sometimes you just want to throw the towel
Speaker 4: and go, I've tried. There's nothing I can do. But
Speaker 4: when you when you're in a public space, you made
Speaker 4: these kids. Unfortunately, I know the behavior doesn't always reflect
Speaker 4: on how you're parenting. Some kids are just they need
Speaker 4: extra help. They can't control, harder to control. But you've
Speaker 4: got to try.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, otherwise you're pulling at James cordon You know
Speaker 5: that story, right, Yes, we don't need to repeat it.
Speaker 5: Look up James Corden playing parents and you realize why
Speaker 5: people hate that. Guys never met.
Speaker 4: Parenting tips though from Dando and go oh, but it's
Speaker 4: why people tune in. That is why I tune in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and not really tuning in for the incisive pop
Speaker 5: culture commentary anymore. It's daddy tips from Dando.
Speaker 4: But I like this one though, because I just thought
Speaker 4: that Homer was actually making an effort and I think
Speaker 4: they strategically the March B plot here again similar similar
Speaker 4: to the similar to the B plot with Lisa last week,
Speaker 4: where it felt like it was just kind of giving
Speaker 4: them something to do.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: So, Marge's B plot here, I think was strategically done
Speaker 4: right to a. We don't question why she isn't also
Speaker 4: helping because she's busy doing this and she's off for
Speaker 4: the fairies, because she's a relaxed blah blah blah. B
Speaker 4: Homer thinks he's now the last hope because Marge isn't
Speaker 4: going to help. And see, she can't talk home or
Speaker 4: out of it because what he's doing might necessarily be
Speaker 4: the best idea, and if she was focused, she might
Speaker 4: go no, Home, No, No, don't handle it this way because
Speaker 4: Lisa doesn't want to be one of the cool kids.
Speaker 4: That's not what she wants. Good for you for loading
Speaker 4: a lot of thought into that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the whole March B plot it will
Speaker 5: be minus plotters, I'm calling it. Yeah, just seemed like,
Speaker 5: what the hell is the point of this? And you're right,
Speaker 5: it's a it's a it's a very effective sidelining technique. Yeah. Wow,
Speaker 5: I'm going to give Robert Lezebnik a.
Speaker 4: Little more credit than he initially had because he couldn't
Speaker 4: have the Homer plot without Marge being distracted somewhere. That's true,
Speaker 4: because she would chime in and give her two cents yea,
Speaker 4: and she would. She should be helping. We'ld be sitting
Speaker 4: there going Why is marginal helping? Why is she not
Speaker 4: being part of this as well? Yeah, why she's not
Speaker 4: staying home? I don't do that. So to take all
Speaker 4: those elements out, she's often disauner.
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, a very valid point. I agree with you
Speaker 5: about Homer certainly acting from a place of good faith,
Speaker 5: acting with very very good attentions. Interesting tension in the episode,
Speaker 5: because yeah, he is, as you say, doing the right
Speaker 5: thing and actually going about it in some pretty effective ways,
Speaker 5: but at the same time acting even more not even idiotic,
Speaker 5: just downright stupid than usual, and not stupid in an
Speaker 5: aggressive way, but just like he got hit in the
Speaker 5: head with a blunt object kind of way. You know,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of real dumb dumbness in this.
Speaker 4: I was more annoyed, if anything, that my main critique
Speaker 4: was that I thought Bart's motives were incorrect, because Bart's
Speaker 4: not an idiot. Bart is not dumb down. He's just
Speaker 4: misguided and easily distracted, lacks motivation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what we maybe used to call hyperactive and now
Speaker 5: we call yeah something else.
Speaker 4: So I think it needed to be more of a
Speaker 4: sense of Homer pushing him in the direction of showing
Speaker 4: put your motivation into something more successful, as opposed to
Speaker 4: my kids moron. I need to do it for him,
Speaker 4: because Bart's not a moron.
Speaker 5: No, that's correct. Yeah, So there were things like that
Speaker 5: that made me that took me out of the episode
Speaker 5: a bit. Yeah, they felt like, we're going to alter
Speaker 5: the way characters are, We're going to shape characterizations for
Speaker 5: the sake of convenience, for the sake of the story
Speaker 5: that we want to tell here, for the sake of
Speaker 5: this episode. And it didn't necessarily rub me the wrong way,
Speaker 5: but it did feel like you're doing a lot of
Speaker 5: heavy lifting here and sort of in all the wrong directions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's just elements where it just feels like this
Speaker 4: is the classic case of getting a writer in who
Speaker 4: is changing a character's personality. Guess you could say, yeah,
Speaker 4: for the sake of a story, I'm willing to go
Speaker 4: with it. But when you're just getting Bart and you're
Speaker 4: completely making him idiotic and moronic for the sake of
Speaker 4: being able to tell this story when reality, you could
Speaker 4: have told a better story if you just kept Bart
Speaker 4: as Bart.
Speaker 5: Yeah, essentially, when you look at Bart and you look
Speaker 5: at him in the classroom and you look at him like, oh,
Speaker 5: I've got my record, my report I look at my
Speaker 5: report card and it's like, oh no, d's and f's
Speaker 5: and et cetera. It's like I never get the feeling.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, he got that because he's dumb. It's like,
Speaker 5: you got that because he didn't pay any attention.
Speaker 4: He's an underachiever. That's what used to call him underachiever
Speaker 4: and proud of it was the slogan, yeah, very much.
Speaker 4: He's just a kid who just needs extra help and yeah,
Speaker 4: that's it needs motivation or direction exactly right. So yeah,
Speaker 4: to make him someone who is dangling folders from basically
Speaker 4: going due apologies with that, folks, but that's what he
Speaker 4: was doing in the episode. Yeah, it just didn't feel right.
Speaker 4: It felt like, as I said, a misrepresentation for the
Speaker 4: sake purely.
Speaker 5: Of this episode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're getting back to Homer's parenting known in this
Speaker 4: every parents want their kid to succeed, but it shouldn't
Speaker 4: come at the expense of their happiness either. So that's
Speaker 4: where the least the story comes into it as well.
Speaker 4: You need to find that balance of you're a kid
Speaker 4: and you're only a kid once, so have fun, but
Speaker 4: also work hard in the sense of try. That's why
Speaker 4: I always say to Elliott, I don't care what scores
Speaker 4: you get at school mate, as long as I know
Speaker 4: that you're trying. When as school time you try, well, that.
Speaker 5: Sets the foundation for one of my favorite sayings is
Speaker 5: how you do anything is how you do everything. Yeah. So, yeah,
Speaker 5: you learn to do the work, even if it's not
Speaker 5: necessarily something that you're into. It's just like give it
Speaker 5: a red hod go give it your best shot. If
Speaker 5: you didn't, if you didn't get an A plus, that's fine,
Speaker 5: as long as you put in the hours, put in
Speaker 5: the effort. Yeah absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 4: Balance your work or balance your diet. Everything everything is
Speaker 4: a balance. Oh yeah, we all know lives about balance.
Speaker 5: Balance. Dan know you're the one who will bring balance
Speaker 5: to the force.
Speaker 4: I do think the ending was a bit predictable with Bart,
Speaker 4: just Homer winning because he's they thought that he was
Speaker 4: at Bart's was done by Bart. We've seen variations on
Speaker 4: this before, Frank Grahame's thing when Homer did there was
Speaker 4: it model contest that kind of stuff, right, yeah, and
Speaker 4: just yet this couldn't possibly have been done by your
Speaker 4: parent first prize, it's just thought because you can see
Speaker 4: that coming a mile away.
Speaker 5: But by in the case where Lisa was Florida as well,
Speaker 5: I mean she did she get or she does she's got.
Speaker 4: Like yes, yeah, no, yeah it was ruff was Idaho, Yeah,
Speaker 4: and she was.
Speaker 5: She was Florida, Florida not a state amongst.
Speaker 4: Them, gamble. But I did think though it helped convey
Speaker 4: the messaget the end when Bart comes clean and sort
Speaker 4: of says, no, no, you need to let us be us.
Speaker 4: It's don't control your kids' lives, allow them to make
Speaker 4: mistakes and grow from them.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, look morally and socially and psychology psychologically. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 5: it's on point.
Speaker 4: What was the quote that Oscar Wilder, isn't this about mistakes?
Speaker 5: Experience is just the name we give mistakes. Yeah, experience
Speaker 5: is just the name of good mistakes. We made Oscar
Speaker 5: wild Damn with the one liners.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that is that one Bark quotes at
Speaker 4: the end he does yes, yeah, which doesn't sort of
Speaker 4: make sense because how did he know who Oscar Wild is?
Speaker 4: These guys, well, apparently he visited bart As well. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 4: didn't like that. Well I didn't mind it, say too, dad, stupid.
Speaker 5: I don't know. There are certain people online who are
Speaker 5: reading into that, certain things about Oscar whild who apparently
Speaker 5: liked him young. Oh really not young young, but you
Speaker 5: know young enough. You like his twinks, some young guy. Yeah,
Speaker 5: what does it remains? Well, cream of some young someone
Speaker 5: someone we know who may have employed both of it.
Speaker 5: Some stage thought it was the height of comedy to
Speaker 5: refer to me as some young guy. Yes, indeed, I
Speaker 5: don't think it was all that. I don't think it
Speaker 5: was unfunny.
Speaker 4: It really wandered the cream, that's correct. I'm working over town,
Speaker 4: so they set up here of the tongue. What do
Speaker 4: you think? I thought it was a bit wacky, kind
Speaker 4: of painless. But for me, though, the only problem was
Speaker 4: that it just kind of ended. There was no follow
Speaker 4: up to it.
Speaker 5: That is a very good point something I wanted to raise.
Speaker 5: It's like funny how those hyper sensitive taste buds sort
Speaker 5: of went away here, like the episode just forgot about.
Speaker 4: That, because that could have been an episode in itself
Speaker 4: with Homer. He's learning to live without his favorite foods.
Speaker 4: Perhaps he loses some weight, he gets more fit, he
Speaker 4: gets better sleep, so he's not eating lead at night,
Speaker 4: that kind of thing. And then as the story, he
Speaker 4: still had the bar and leasa thing. But as the
Speaker 4: episode progresses, then he realized, oh, I can eat all
Speaker 4: these foods again. He has to find again we get
Speaker 4: to about to balance the work with. But the Homer
Speaker 4: story is all about balance as well, balance your diet,
Speaker 4: balance your work, or balance everything. So it's all about
Speaker 4: make the choice go back to my unhealthy lifestyle or
Speaker 4: eat a bit healthier. But he's learned to live like
Speaker 4: eating healthier food.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't make it an A plot. I'd make
Speaker 5: that a B plot. But yeah, certainly the idea of it.
Speaker 4: I just thought that the tongue taste. But I know
Speaker 4: we usually have stories that sort of set up the
Speaker 4: main story than the first act. But I would have
Speaker 4: thought it would have been nice to sort of bring
Speaker 4: it full circle in some way.
Speaker 5: I think it's a really good concept. I think it
Speaker 5: works really well with Homer, or of course, as someone
Speaker 5: who likes to eat, he enjoys his flavors, all that
Speaker 5: kind of stuff. I think it could have been really
Speaker 5: interesting from a visual standpoint as well. You know, like
Speaker 5: he takes a little nibble of something that's even vaguely
Speaker 5: spice and all of a sudden will it just explodes
Speaker 5: it with fruit flavor, all that, all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 5: you look an interesting way into the story. I thought
Speaker 5: they handled it, actually, I think think they handled it
Speaker 5: visually very well. When he's got his whowie pops.
Speaker 4: But he takes it is the cherry one that he
Speaker 4: has to be. I looked at lemon thing first and
Speaker 4: I went, that's just stupid. The way his face sucked
Speaker 4: it was cherry first. Right then I remember to this
Speaker 4: sour gummy and how's the hell's a gummy? How's the candy?
Speaker 4: Because the sour candy and his face is sucked in,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I've been laughing at this for twenty years.
Speaker 4: Why would I'm laughing at it?
Speaker 5: An exactly? No, it was it was like it was
Speaker 5: a good visual representation. I'm like, oh my god, this
Speaker 5: is how it feels now. Did he haven't had a
Speaker 5: cherry one first? And then a lemon?
Speaker 4: Right? Too much? Cherry said it with the lemon.
Speaker 5: Yeah, gets sucked seeing Have.
Speaker 4: You seen a cat try something sour? I have? Indeed,
Speaker 4: have you seen the video of the white cat that
Speaker 4: tries it? No, no, sorry, this isn't sour. This is
Speaker 4: a cat smelling something sour that's gone. Have you seen that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, just pulling incredible faces.
Speaker 4: I'm going to show you this one video. I saw
Speaker 4: it yesterday thought I'm gonna have to show guy this
Speaker 4: because it's hilarious.
Speaker 5: There are so many of dogs and cats trying various
Speaker 5: things that taken a bite of a lemon, or you
Speaker 5: give a cat a salad, for instance, and I'll try
Speaker 5: a little bit of it and then just like no,
Speaker 5: they pulled a Danny DeVito face.
Speaker 4: From a Nope, watch this cat. It's smelling bad yogurt.
Speaker 4: Watch his face.
Speaker 5: Dan is going to edit this in or what But
Speaker 5: this cat is basically pulled this way as leaves. Don't
Speaker 5: use that as a string video.
Speaker 4: We're gonna get us in a good mood.
Speaker 5: Well, you're well aware that my instant serotonin or dope
Speaker 5: mean boost is yeah, the dog dancing to Africa. But
Speaker 5: I don't know. We love our four legged friends and
Speaker 5: we love it when they react in they think they're people. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so no, that was that was good. But yeah, I
Speaker 5: love animals reacting. Yeah, it was dry, reaching poorly to
Speaker 5: food that they don't really enjoy.
Speaker 4: So, speaking of what was talking about waste opportunities there
Speaker 4: with Homer, right, Lisa story I thought was also a
Speaker 4: bit wasted as well. I also thought this could have
Speaker 4: been an episode in itself. We have seen it before,
Speaker 4: Lisa trying to be cool, trying to fit in and
Speaker 4: realize that she just needs to be herself to be happy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but there was it just felt like it was just again,
Speaker 4: I felt like three stories here that weren't fleshed out,
Speaker 4: thrown into one episode.
Speaker 5: It did feel that way, didn't it. Yeah, I think
Speaker 5: something I've written well, to quote my notes, this is
Speaker 5: a little all over the place, and it certainly was.
Speaker 5: I mean, essentially they've taken if not the plot of
Speaker 5: Mean Girls and certainly the concept of mean Girls. I'm
Speaker 5: not sure if there's around this is probably around seven
Speaker 5: five that feels around.
Speaker 4: The four four and five was Ween Girls early, Yeah,
Speaker 4: early two thousand and this was two thousand and nine,
Speaker 4: so it was, oh.
Speaker 5: Okay, it was definitely taking off Mean Girls.
Speaker 4: Then it was Me and Girls taking off something else? Though,
Speaker 4: Was Me and Girls an original concept of girls being pitches?
Speaker 4: I don't think it was an a viginal concept. Well
Speaker 4: not really, no, but there was. Actually if the.
Speaker 5: Book was called Mean Girls, the book might have been
Speaker 5: called Queen Bees and Wanna Bees okay, which was actually
Speaker 5: like sort of a sociological study by this by this
Speaker 5: researcher who spoke to a lot of high school girls
Speaker 5: and sort of not worked out the pecking because the
Speaker 5: pecking orders existed at the time immemorial. But this is
Speaker 5: what it's like in the nearly twenty fifth century. This
Speaker 5: is what your teenage daughters are up to. And the
Speaker 5: ogual maybe here here, here, here, or here, and yeah,
Speaker 5: it's nothing new, but this felt very much in terms
Speaker 5: of like, oh, they're sitting at this table, Oh you
Speaker 5: can't sit with us, all that kind of thing. If
Speaker 5: you've watched Me and Girls, like, oh, that's how they act.
Speaker 4: It was worth it for me for that bar scene, though.
Speaker 4: I liked the bar sceam where they're showing off how
Speaker 4: girls or how people in general manipulate others, and I'm like, this,
Speaker 4: this would actually work. These are legitimate, These are legitimate
Speaker 4: cases of how you manipulate people.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, i'msults and what's it called the Toledo take
Speaker 5: back or something like that.
Speaker 4: That was one of my favorite most I just fought.
Speaker 4: Dan was so funny in that just getting the favorite moments?
Speaker 5: Shall we? Yeah? Well, by the way, shout out to
Speaker 5: Dan see heh yes, he won an Emmy for his
Speaker 5: voice work on this particular episode. Did yes, fourth Emmy?
Speaker 5: Well done, Dan? See my favorite?
Speaker 4: All right? My first favorite moment was Ralph saying, oh,
Speaker 4: he said, date your daughter, buddy. I'm here to eat,
Speaker 4: not to make interesting conversation. I could have really die anymore.
Speaker 4: But it used to be we used to call the
Speaker 4: oasis where you go inside the factory at FOURT and
Speaker 4: you'd eat your lunch and some people just want to
Speaker 4: talk and I'm like, dude, I don't want to talk
Speaker 4: to you. Oh yeah, I just want to eat my lunch,
Speaker 4: read my phone, leave me alone. And it's employee of
Speaker 4: the month there. But it's just you know, but you
Speaker 4: know those points where you're trying to eat your lunch
Speaker 4: and you found something interesting to read or watch and
Speaker 4: someone's talking to you, and you want to be polite
Speaker 4: and pretend like you're trying to engage, but also imply
Speaker 4: I'm done now though, Can I just get back to
Speaker 4: what I was doing? Please?
Speaker 5: Friends? There was a time when Dan when I used
Speaker 5: to work together, not only work together, but actually sit
Speaker 5: next to one mother. And this was very much the case,
Speaker 5: like we are watching their dinner something. Daniel was always
Speaker 5: extremely friendly. But a blind down where the plank came
Speaker 5: from it lunchtime was dandos. What else did enjoyment?
Speaker 4: I also enjoyed as silly as it was. I lined
Speaker 4: time as helicopter away when he crashes black dog down, I'm.
Speaker 5: Like this, black hog down? Black dog down was fun
Speaker 5: like this is stupid.
Speaker 4: I found myself laughing and I went, I don't know
Speaker 4: why I'm laughing, but I'm laughing. So to put us
Speaker 4: in a favorite moment, you got me.
Speaker 5: They ran the helicopter gag into the ground by the
Speaker 5: first many times, but first time was good. But black
Speaker 5: or damn, Black or damn was funny.
Speaker 4: Harllycufter away?
Speaker 5: What else?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: All the various ghosts oscar while I was throwing all
Speaker 4: these quotes are there?
Speaker 5: Whatever happened to boo?
Speaker 4: A great lineup of ghosts in Westminster Alley. Yeah, Ali,
Speaker 4: you say Westminster Alley, I said Westminster Abbey, said Allie said,
Speaker 4: like Ali to the tape.
Speaker 5: By all If I've got it wrong, Westminster Ali is
Speaker 5: actually the back street outside Weinstminster Abbey. Did you know that?
Speaker 4: That's what a lot of fun happens?
Speaker 5: Right? Yeah, No, I actually made that up. That's that's
Speaker 5: that's complete, complete lie. But I'm so convincing. But yeah,
Speaker 5: a great lineup of ghosts in Westminster Abbey.
Speaker 4: Maum, we get to ruin one of my trivia questions,
Speaker 4: but go for it?
Speaker 5: Go why not? Because it's you know, the author of
Speaker 5: the Canter Retails, Jeffrey Chaucer. You may know him better
Speaker 5: as Paul Betany from A Night's Tale. Anne of Cleves
Speaker 5: is one of the wives of Henry the Eighth. Story
Speaker 5: about that, I'm sure I have told my show Busy
Speaker 5: Jason stories many times. But back in I think it
Speaker 5: was twenty ten, maybe around that time, I went on
Speaker 5: a lovely press tour to Ireland to visit the set
Speaker 5: of a show called The Tutors, which was basically mentioned
Speaker 5: this what if Henry the Eighth but sexy and yeah,
Speaker 5: Henry Cavill was in it.
Speaker 4: You mentioned Henry Covery. You mentioned this story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, it's where my crush began and never ended.
Speaker 5: But the actor playing Anne of Cleves was the singer
Speaker 5: Joss Stone. Are you familiar with Johnstone? She charmed us all.
Speaker 5: She was just pants flew off. Absolutely, Oh yeah. She
Speaker 5: was so delightful. And you know, I think we were
Speaker 5: talking about how an and of Cleves was generally regarded
Speaker 5: as one of the less attractive of Henry's wives, to
Speaker 5: which Joss replied, oh yeah, I'm a right mega. Well, miss,
Speaker 5: I think we love you now.
Speaker 4: Sometimes people just have that reaction within ten seconds. You
Speaker 4: just hear in your head it must be love, love love.
Speaker 5: So yeah, Anna Cleaves and yeah, Oscar whild played in
Speaker 5: the movie by Stephen fry So. Yeah, good crew at Westminster. Abby.
Speaker 4: All right, my first question for you, I got a favorite.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of trivia, right, I'll say that.
Speaker 5: I know I'm talking a lot, but yeah, man, don't
Speaker 5: jump ahead. I think I've already mentioned good visual gag
Speaker 5: with the flavored lollipops. I thought that worked very well.
Speaker 5: We talked about the mean girls a little earlier. Some
Speaker 5: terrific burns from those gowls that's one of the best.
Speaker 5: I thought you might have it. Yeah, I hope. Well,
Speaker 5: that looks like a really nice lunch. Today we're having
Speaker 5: a cold shoulders like, oh damn, I'm doing the ice
Speaker 5: cube and Chris Tucker and Friday.
Speaker 4: I think. But I'm getting soft because I watched these scenes.
Speaker 4: Now when I see, Yeah, you're afraid that's going to
Speaker 4: happen to Holly, Yeah or just Ali.
Speaker 5: Yeah, worse for me, But Holly's going to do this
Speaker 5: to someone. That's what if you turn out to be
Speaker 5: a mean girl that I actually worry about that. Sometimes
Speaker 5: I go, I hope my kids don't have to be bullies.
Speaker 5: Elliott won't be a bully.
Speaker 4: Holly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you just don't know yet.
Speaker 4: Because you're still twenty four. It's like sometimes Hollywood wouldn't
Speaker 4: share this, and I'm like, she my sister was never
Speaker 4: a bully, but she was in clicks. I don't want
Speaker 4: Holly to be in clicks because clicks aren't fun for anybody.
Speaker 5: Aren't fun? Friend groups are fun?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, but what was I saying?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I watch these scenes though, and I just worry, worry,
Speaker 4: I just see Lisa and I feel really bad for
Speaker 4: it because it's just she's sitting in a corner by herself,
Speaker 4: and Homer seeing this, he wants to help her. I
Speaker 4: don't think he sees that and goes, I'm going to
Speaker 4: benefit from this. I just I don't want Lisa to
Speaker 4: feel this way.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've said this before on a few of
Speaker 5: our podcasts, especially recently. But you know, you listen to
Speaker 5: podcasts where they talk about the difference between the way
Speaker 5: boys bully and the way girls bully. And boys are
Speaker 5: like carpet bombs, you know, they're like scorts to Earth,
Speaker 5: but then it's over, it's done with girls are like
Speaker 5: strategic strikes. They're like the bunker buster. You know, it's like,
Speaker 5: uh no, I will never recover from that. You will
Speaker 5: wake up three decades down the line recalling what a
Speaker 5: girl said to you. If it's like, oh god, they
Speaker 5: know exactly how to how to hit me.
Speaker 4: That's like when I remember when she was like is
Speaker 4: that it stayed with you already?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but nine months lady got Elliott. Well a couple
Speaker 5: more things are like you mentioned, Yeah, buddy, I'm here
Speaker 5: to week. That's a great, great, a great Homer line.
Speaker 5: It feels very Homer and it's a great line, and he.
Speaker 4: Would be sitting with Ralph. I just speke he would
Speaker 4: be sitting with.
Speaker 5: Mosaic. Well, yes, we should all go Scandadavin in the sauna.
Speaker 5: What are we doing here? I thought that was very funny.
Speaker 5: But the the best gag something Rybald was the misunderstanding
Speaker 5: between doctor Hibbitt.
Speaker 4: No right, Holy.
Speaker 5: Homer's tone is going to be out of action for
Speaker 5: that might impede your love me. No, No, He'll just
Speaker 5: ride down what he wants. Brilliant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's so many layers to that joke.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've got to give yeah, rob My, Well,
Speaker 5: first of all, if you're listening, Hi, writer Rob Zebnik,
Speaker 5: I hope I'm pronouncing you'll sooner grectly.
Speaker 4: If you're listening, hello, good to talk to you.
Speaker 5: Having He said, that was so fun to watch. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna sit in the room.
Speaker 4: You don't looking at me, look at the camera, have
Speaker 4: any conversation with someone who's never gonna listen to this.
Speaker 5: I'm going to sit there like I'm here too.
Speaker 4: I'll get back to you and I'm right down.
Speaker 5: My attentions all roll. What you have a conversation. He
Speaker 5: hadn't written an episode for eight years. His last one
Speaker 5: before this was Homer Versus Dignity.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which doesn't bow well for his reputation. Correct, that's
Speaker 4: what my HomeOS Sex with the Panda.
Speaker 5: That's correct. On a fan forum, someone who did not
Speaker 5: like this episode basically said, Rob please disappear for another
Speaker 5: eight years. I don't wholly agree with that. I love
Speaker 5: the the degree of burn, I think it's great, sure,
Speaker 5: but I will give you props for that particular gag.
Speaker 5: I thought it was very very good indeed, and that
Speaker 5: was guys favorite moments.

Speaker 4: It was Milwaukee Braves, the team she now knows the
Speaker 4: Atlanta Braves after nineteen sixty six, but they were the
Speaker 4: Milwaukee Braves from fifty three to sixty six and they
Speaker 4: won the World Series in fifty seven. Okay, then they
Speaker 4: moved to they originally with Boston and Milwaukee and now Atlanta.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine that ever happening in AFL, but like
Speaker 4: it did happen because you're still called the Braves, Yeah, Atlanta,
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah yah, because you know, the Cleveland Indians had
Speaker 5: to become something.

Speaker 4: That would be a sticky saw? Stikus checks out. Well,
Speaker 4: you've got one of my questions with the westmins aabby ghoest.
Speaker 4: My next question for you is what is the name
Speaker 4: of the Ali behind And the answer to that is
Speaker 4: Ali sheety she is in short Circuit? Right, that's Ali
Speaker 4: Shedy she is, Yeah, Stephanie. I was so funny because
Speaker 4: the kids watch short Circuit down there, say you're talking
Speaker 4: short circuit up a bit love the short circuit?
Speaker 5: Right? Did I tell you?
Speaker 4: That's why I called Daphne daff So I always go Daphanie, Daphanie,
Speaker 4: And I was like, I watch sort so oh it's
Speaker 4: Stephanie Japhani. My instinct is I love short circuit as
Speaker 4: a kid.
Speaker 5: Is that the pronunciation by Johnny five or by the
Speaker 5: Indian ga played by noted non.
Speaker 4: No no By Johnny five, he says Stephanie, Stephanie. Now
Speaker 4: I'm always like Daphanie, And.
Speaker 5: Why why do you do that? Nicols like what did?
Speaker 4: I don't know. There's a reason, but I can't figure
Speaker 4: it out. And then short Circuit came on and I
Speaker 4: went Stephanie. Everybody has got their their stuff. They've lifted
Speaker 4: from pop culture and they don't maybe even remember exactly
Speaker 4: where from Listeners, viewers, if you've got one of these,
Speaker 4: if you've got a line that you use from a
Speaker 4: movie or TV show all the time that just entered
Speaker 4: your personal vernacular, let us know. Mine is from the
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety six romantic comedy The Truth About Cats and Dogs,
Speaker 4: where Jenningerofflo sort of spills something on herself while she's
Speaker 4: trying to impress some guy and says, of course, of
Speaker 4: course that would happen. I say this all the time.
Speaker 5: I use that all.
Speaker 4: I've never seen that movie, but I've said, of course
Speaker 4: this happened. Of course what I always back it up?
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't it?
Speaker 5: But I say exactly that rhythm, of course, of course
Speaker 5: this would happened. So yeah, your next question for me,
Speaker 5: I know you just asked me.
Speaker 4: I just asked you one. Didn't know?
Speaker 5: Okay, Well how about I ask you one?
Speaker 4: It was alily sheety was the answer?
Speaker 5: Actually, what is the no? You're taking the okay? In
Speaker 5: the model store, Alfreddy Newman is holding up two sides.
Speaker 4: I knew you're going to ask this question. I didn't
Speaker 4: write it down. What was it?
Speaker 5: But one of them is banned the bomb and the
Speaker 5: other is washer.
Speaker 4: Hippie, Washer hippie, I do something to do with a hippie.
Speaker 4: My next question was going to be what who has
Speaker 4: interchangeable arms in the model store. So there's that one
Speaker 4: out of the way. I'll then ask.
Speaker 5: You, what is the name of the store model store?
Speaker 4: No, No, it's got a it's got a good name,
Speaker 4: and I didn't write it down either. It's got a
Speaker 4: pun name crafty arts, arts and crafts. Good name, good name. Yeah,
Speaker 4: actual could be should be a store name. What did
Speaker 4: Martin build in the modeling competition?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: I do have it, my know. I'm gonna try and remember,
Speaker 4: just to really really impress myself and me. It was
Speaker 4: so Milhouse. Did the Beijing one? You did the CCTV's building.
Speaker 5: Is that right? That's correct in Beijing.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna get I'm gonna look that. I'm gonna cheat.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna cheat. I wrote my notes.
Speaker 5: It's not cheating if you did the work.
Speaker 4: It is the Brazilian National Congress.
Speaker 5: It certainly is. May I tell you some of the
Speaker 5: others go for it. Utah did the temples at ankor
Speaker 5: what in Cambodia?
Speaker 4: I believe it is nice to see you, Yeah, good
Speaker 4: to see you.
Speaker 5: Blind spot for me. I don't know who the who
Speaker 5: that other kid is?
Speaker 4: It was Noah. It was the smart ass kid. Was
Speaker 4: that Noah? That was the kid that that's the story. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: By the way.
Speaker 5: No I had to be in it because I guess.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, you didn't make that much of an impression.
Speaker 4: I actually liked saying Noah. I like the name Noah,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, it just teakes me back when we're
Speaker 4: trying to name a kid and I'm like, I don't
Speaker 4: like that name, Nicoli goes. I really like this name.
Speaker 4: I don't I would not be called that.
Speaker 5: It's a no One Noah. I just loved when he
Speaker 5: was getting sort of drilled on state capitals and I
Speaker 5: was like, Wow, he's terrified of you. That was really funny.
Speaker 4: I was watching this actually, and I do worry sometimes
Speaker 4: that maybe I am a bit of a helicopter parent.
Speaker 4: It's just I don't know when I'm watching Elliot do
Speaker 4: oz kick and things like that, because I play so
Speaker 4: much footy with Alliott. I'm just trying to remind him, no,
Speaker 4: remember when I teach you this and get me wrong, Alliot.
Speaker 4: It's really good at football, right, also cricket, Yeah, also cricket.
Speaker 4: But sometimes he's playing a game and I get annoyed
Speaker 4: because they get these kids to do the umpiring, like
Speaker 4: the kids that play for the local footy. They do
Speaker 4: it at a local footy ground for a club and
Speaker 4: they get the like under sixteen kids from the club
Speaker 4: to do the umpiring during little mock games, for oz
Speaker 4: kick games and with kids games. Now they have what's
Speaker 4: called zones, so put cones across thirds of the ground
Speaker 4: and if you're in the back line you got to
Speaker 4: stay in the back line. You're in the midfield, you
Speaker 4: stay in the midfield, if you're in the fords, you're
Speaker 4: staying the force. You're stay in the Zone's trying to
Speaker 4: teach the kids not to follow the football because I
Speaker 4: used to watch Little League footy and it was wherever
Speaker 4: the ball was, all twenty kids, all forty players were
Speaker 4: in the one spot, so trying to kick the kids braided.
Speaker 4: But you watch it and the kids of the parents
Speaker 4: who are associated with the os Kicks just do what
Speaker 4: they want. And obviously these kids know them because they're
Speaker 4: associated with the club as well, the umpires, and they
Speaker 4: just let them get away. But then they'll pin alliot
Speaker 4: and I guess, sit down. I'm just going it's just
Speaker 4: I was kick. It doesn't really matter. But how are
Speaker 4: these kids a supposed to know right from wrong when
Speaker 4: they're allowed to do the wrong thing? And why is Alliott.
Speaker 4: It's making Elliott frustrated because he's going, Dad, he's leaving
Speaker 4: the zone. Why can't I leave the zone? I'm going,
Speaker 4: what do I do in this situation? Do I become
Speaker 4: one of those soccer mums or the dads that interfere,
Speaker 4: or do I just let it go?
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think you sort of front up to
Speaker 5: the young umpire whoever sort of running the show that
Speaker 5: day and you're doing it wrong. Yeah, you subtly go
Speaker 5: behind the scenes and say we sort of establish these
Speaker 5: things for a reason. Be good if everyone sort of
Speaker 5: went with it, and you know, if the person who
Speaker 5: was running the show says it's just a game or
Speaker 5: it's just a bit of fun or whatever, it's like, hmm,
Speaker 5: I might start lobbing to actually take this personal job
Speaker 5: because they're messing up.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to say messing up. I want to
Speaker 5: say something else.
Speaker 4: Because Ali comes to me and he goes, why is
Speaker 4: he allowed to do this? And I go, I know, mate,
Speaker 4: that's not right.
Speaker 5: Yeah forwards from run your Own Race. Yeah, it's good advice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but a non parent, I just watch it sometimes
Speaker 4: and I go, I feel like I want to interfere
Speaker 4: and I take a step back, but I feel like
Speaker 4: I wanted to wholly understandable.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Look, the term helicoplic parent get I think it's
Speaker 5: being used in a bit of a pejorative way these days,
Speaker 5: but I think probably we used to call it just
Speaker 5: being an involved or an engaged parent. You can overdo it,
Speaker 5: of course, any parent can, but better maybe better that
Speaker 5: than the alternative who asked the last question I think
Speaker 5: was me.
Speaker 4: Do you want to ask one more? And it would
Speaker 4: do some stonecup of shout outs.
Speaker 5: Oh I've got one more? Do it hit me? Speaking
Speaker 5: of Westminster Abby, mister Ali Sheedy. Yes, indeed in the
Speaker 5: model shop, Kirk said, Homer won't get past what section

Speaker 4: can you show me how to do it? First?
Speaker 5: You're such a clever consumer. I mean sometimes you get
Speaker 5: a bit carrying with it or Darren, but you're very
Speaker 5: clever consumer.
Speaker 4: Well, if you can prove to me that this is possible,
Speaker 4: I said, just drop that basketball into that hoop, just
Speaker 4: make it go in. And usually it's the way they
Speaker 4: do it is how they get you, because if you
Speaker 4: hold it directly.
Speaker 5: Know just like how they get you, that's how they
Speaker 5: get you.
Speaker 4: But my mate used to run one of these right,
Speaker 4: and he says, the way it works is the basketball
Speaker 4: fits if it's directly above it. You're dropping it straight
Speaker 4: down into it. So when they show you, they go
Speaker 4: see if it's in there. But if you throw it
Speaker 4: on any form of an angle, it will never fit
Speaker 4: in two. It's like CARNI friends are no fool.
Speaker 5: They know that you're going to ask, yeah, show me
Speaker 5: how to do It's like, oh, yeah, fine, no worry.
Speaker 4: That's what I was going to say, to ask them
Speaker 4: to show you if it goes in on a slight angle,
Speaker 4: not above it and just sort of like throw it in.
Speaker 4: They can't do it. They can't, They will never be
Speaker 4: able to do it. They can't do it.
Speaker 5: That's the trick of it.
Speaker 4: So what they imagine, what they say to you then
Speaker 4: is like, yeah, go ride the dodgings. Man, you're not
Speaker 4: gonna lie. I'd appreciate the honesty. If I was walking
Speaker 4: past and I was being honest like this, would it
Speaker 4: make me try it out?
Speaker 5: Probably?
Speaker 4: Not.
Speaker 5: Well, they don't guaranteed to win. I think that they
Speaker 5: try your skill, try your luck, you get lucky.
Speaker 4: They always have these giant toys across the top. Right.
Speaker 4: And there's another thing my mate used to tell me.
Speaker 4: He goes, because he did it for like two or
Speaker 4: three years.
Speaker 5: He goes.
Speaker 4: The trick is every like twenty or thirty customers, you
Speaker 4: let him win a big prize, right, Yes, So they
Speaker 4: walk around the scene, walking around giant pan That's the key.
Speaker 4: Of course, everyone has to see at least one person
Speaker 4: carrying a giant toy because they then think, oh, I
Speaker 4: can win one too.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, everybody wants that codeac moment of like you
Speaker 5: know you're walking along the boulevard or whatever, and you
Speaker 5: know you got your arm around your gal and yeah
Speaker 5: she's holding onto a big old teddy bearers like, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's right, I won that for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you didn't win it. It's just that you were lucky.
Speaker 4: You were chosing that time to be the winner. That's true,
Speaker 4: that's true. Anyway, I've held the story before. My Daddy's
Speaker 4: been really good at the duck shooting ones alone. But
Speaker 4: he used to always have the first go of working
Speaker 4: out because the games are never never straight. It's always off.
Speaker 4: Work out the aim and then just go be like, Wow,
Speaker 4: that man's a mass shooter. They were furious as my dad.
Speaker 4: But Homer then mocks the juggler, claiming he can do
Speaker 4: it too, classic usually does, throws the kids in there,
Speaker 4: throws himself in there as well. Kids yes, and then
Speaker 4: jumps in himself, knocks the guy over, and he says, man,
Speaker 4: I love Saturdays and the custom Marge saying the same
Speaker 4: thing in the basement. Finally I can have fun with
Speaker 4: something that I bought for myself, which changed it to
Speaker 4: be the water heater. But was this meant to be
Speaker 4: also a sex gag or sex toy gag? That she
Speaker 4: bought a toy for hersself and she can use it
Speaker 4: as no one else is in the house. That's if
Speaker 4: you want it to be. Yeah, I mean it's because
Speaker 4: we had the kind of kind of correct gag. Later on,
Speaker 4: I was like, is that's another.
Speaker 5: One maybe otherwise just oh, I could be myself, but
Speaker 5: it's for everyone else because that's Marge. That's large. It's
Speaker 5: a lot in life. I had a water water heater
Speaker 5: incident in my place not long ago, from a very long, hard,
Speaker 5: just day at work such as it is, and from
Speaker 5: the from the study to the landron correct yeah, with
Speaker 5: a detail to the kitchen. But I was i was
Speaker 5: lying down at the end of the day. I's like, oh,
Speaker 5: I'm just going to take twenty minutes just to get
Speaker 5: my breath, get my bearings and nord and I heard
Speaker 5: this sort of dump dump dump. Oh god, there's another
Speaker 5: possum on the roof or something like that. Then later
Speaker 5: on I went out of the laundry and one of
Speaker 5: the braces that was connecting the water heater to the
Speaker 5: wall had come loose, so the water heater was kind
Speaker 5: of like on a forty five degree ankle, and I'm like, oh, bully,
Speaker 5: it's like and it's like Nelix of course, it's happened.
Speaker 5: Of course, of course this is what happened. But it's like,
Speaker 5: you know, it's six o'clock on a Friday night. I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm not even calling my my man David the plumber,
Speaker 5: or first of all, who would I call? How do
Speaker 5: I YouTube fix this year? Our Ghostbusters? Real? But I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm turning on various hot taps and haws. If I
Speaker 5: don't have hot water, well I'm stuffed as well. But
Speaker 5: luckily the hot water is still going. But the water
Speaker 5: heat heater is just on this forty five degree and
Speaker 5: are looking very precarious, I know, just sort of stacking
Speaker 5: stuff around it to sort of put it back to
Speaker 5: be it in It looks a bit like the leading
Speaker 5: tarrapiece of the angles, not quite.
Speaker 4: A can next sort to stand next to him push
Speaker 4: It's like, timmy, what do you know the next eight
Speaker 4: hours we'll make ten bucks?
Speaker 5: Then his parents said, taking out and prostrating order. But yeah,
Speaker 5: so I'm sort of currently looking at ways like Okay,
Speaker 5: how do I fix this? I mean, but it's still
Speaker 5: working fine, there's nothing wrong with it's not falling over again.
Speaker 5: But it's like, but when your water heater goes man,
Speaker 5: that's just bad news. Particularly you know, we're we're smack
Speaker 5: in the middle of window right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's it's chilly out here. We had was
Speaker 4: that was that going? And then it came and fixed
Speaker 4: our thing?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 4: Bruce Bruce? Yeah, what a legend. Bruce Maybe can trust
Speaker 4: I know, right, Bruce Campbell Bruce Bruce Willis Willis Springsteen. Yeah, Demagie,
Speaker 4: she loves the old water heater. Back into the attic
Speaker 4: five more and she gets a free one and we
Speaker 4: see the floor collapsing into Maggie's room. Yeah, not great.
Speaker 5: One of the great sort of fears of a homeowner.
Speaker 5: You're looking up at your roof. Yeah, well all the
Speaker 5: time the rooflet were you hear an al lea. I
Speaker 5: was here when you told me about it. Man, life
Speaker 5: fixed it. The water to started pouring through it. I
Speaker 5: know that's positively satanic. I was terrified. Yeah, the room's
Speaker 5: gonna explode. That's my mate who was a spark, and
Speaker 5: he was like, dude, you find something had to happen
Speaker 5: in the house. The powerl have tripped out, and I
Speaker 5: was like, ah. But at the time, though, I was,
Speaker 5: I was scared. Turned on the switch off. I'm sorry,
Speaker 5: water and electricity in the you know, in the same neighborhood.
Speaker 5: That's too great taste that don't taste great together. It
Speaker 5: wasn't just a spilled drink. It was flowing I know,
Speaker 5: right Still, those are exactly the words you want to

Speaker 4: she comes across this mysterious door, which turns out to
Speaker 4: be a fully functioning sauna. It's like a sauna in here,
Speaker 4: and then this is the first good surprises house has
Speaker 4: ever giving her.
Speaker 5: Indeed, Dan, there you have cats. Now you will be
Speaker 5: familiar with the concept of the big stretch. This was
Speaker 5: what we call a big stretch.
Speaker 4: A want of you people do big stretches. It makes
Speaker 4: me just want to stretches, to find a good stretch.
Speaker 4: It's just like to describe, isn't it just so nice?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, feeling all the bones.
Speaker 5: Crack those ligaman's going.
Speaker 4: I was walking down the hallway the other night feeling
Speaker 4: my feet cracking. I'm like Jesus Christ, I'm just getting old.
Speaker 4: I creaking crack just walking down the hallway.
Speaker 5: Now, Oh yeah, the cacophony of sounds I make. Yeah,
Speaker 5: when I get up from anything from a chair, I
Speaker 5: can't wait to tell everyone.
Speaker 2: Oh it is great, Honey for telling me about it.
Speaker 2: I hope you don't mind. I invited Lenny and I hope.
Speaker 5: You don't mind. I invited Carl and Mo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, my invitation didn't say nothing about no towels.
Speaker 2: So I guess we should all just go scan the
Speaker 2: navy and ha ha.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll keep this to myself for a while.
Speaker 5: That's pretty much her story for the entire episode. She's
Speaker 5: just she's just sounering.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just sawning. That's it. That's all she's doing for
Speaker 4: to see her on the catch. Relax, that's it. I
Speaker 4: think we haven't seen it in the sauna again until
Speaker 4: the end.
Speaker 5: That's correct.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just see a post sauna. I never have
Speaker 4: you ever been a sauna guy? I used to have
Speaker 4: one at the Norlane Water where to go to the
Speaker 4: local pool, and I'd go in there, I'd go I
Speaker 4: was too young. I don't get this. It's just boring
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 5: It's just like, yeah, I get where you're coming from
Speaker 5: with that. I really liked the idea of the whole
Speaker 5: sauna experience though, you know, like like going scandy, where
Speaker 5: it's like, first of all, we got and we plunge
Speaker 5: into the apologies for this accent anyone who's Scandinavia. We
Speaker 5: plunged into the cold water.
Speaker 4: I love you still did it anyway?
Speaker 5: Well, I apologize covers. We're going to do this, but
Speaker 5: I feel real bad about it. But first we plunged
Speaker 5: into the cold water, and then we stand in the
Speaker 5: cold for a little bit, and then we got into
Speaker 5: a hot room. Then we're going into a room that's
Speaker 5: slightly left hot. Then we got and plunge again.
Speaker 4: Then you got into the hot Is that is that
Speaker 4: the gimmick? Is that what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 5: I don't know exactly routine, it's something like this. It's
Speaker 5: it's definitely changes in temperatures and you're just getting bigger out.
Speaker 5: You figurate the hell out. I told you to do
Speaker 5: the height the ice Bar challenge recently.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, said, And then some grabs out of your
Speaker 4: shirt off and you're like, I'm not taking my shirt off.
Speaker 5: Well correct, but you know I did it regardless. And
Speaker 5: you you get out of this freezing cold water on
Speaker 5: a freezing cold morning and all of a sudden, ye,
Speaker 5: your skin just feels like you feel like Homer's taste buds.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh my god, I'm feeling everything. I'm feeling
Speaker 5: a really weird combination of temperatures and sensation.
Speaker 4: And I it was like a rock they always are,
Speaker 4: but yeah, it.
Speaker 5: Was kind of wild. So I would like to do
Speaker 5: the whole sort of sauna experience, not just sort of
Speaker 5: sit in a hot room, but like you know, twin go,
Speaker 5: it's like a sauna in here. I'd probably make that
Speaker 5: gag and everyone's like, get out.
Speaker 4: To read the sign, do not make this jo.
Speaker 5: It's like, get flugging way, no stairway, no stairway, no sauna, gag.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I like the idea of the whole process.
Speaker 5: So if I went to somewhere like Scandinavia in Lindell, Greenland,
Speaker 5: where's apple Jordan, promise he Finland or Finland or Iceland? Finland,
Speaker 5: Hey Jordan, if we're wrong, come back to us in
Speaker 5: neither of these plays like I I mean London, New Idiots.
Speaker 4: Yes, But back at the squid port finds the Cloff
Speaker 4: colush Man. It was cloth closh Man from New York.
Speaker 4: But he's selling lamb kebobs now kebobsbobs. Yeah, we takebabs.
Speaker 4: We do the way the words actually spelled to day
Speaker 4: spelled it with a.
Speaker 5: No sh kebob. I think they're referring to it as yeah,
Speaker 5: so it might be kebobs there, but yeah, language interesting
Speaker 5: differences all all around the wind doing. But they got kebobs.
Speaker 5: He's what We've got a lamb kebob and he's got
Speaker 5: a chicken. And then they which is not actually kebob at.
Speaker 4: Least it tries to warn him dad no bus his
Speaker 4: dad yes, and then he obviously eats it. He needs
Speaker 4: some water. But gives him some lighter fuel. I didn't
Speaker 4: like the fire a bit. I thought it was just
Speaker 4: it was just silly.
Speaker 5: But went on a little long for mine and all honesty,
Speaker 5: I'm I'm not about to tell the folks at the
Speaker 5: Simpsons how to do their job, except we do that
Speaker 5: all the time. And I'm definitely going to tell Robert
Speaker 5: lea Zebnik how to do his job. Actually, no, sorry,
Speaker 5: the director of this is Matt who was stuck. Stuck
Speaker 5: an mistake. This was a good opportunity for like a
Speaker 5: Godzilla gag. You could have had like the iconic Godzilla
Speaker 5: theme and you know, I'm just trudging along and doing
Speaker 5: fire breath. I thought they would have been nice.
Speaker 4: Just die Bardi die blowing water and fire into his mouth,
Speaker 4: just down.
Speaker 5: Yes, I think a god Zilla gag would have been
Speaker 5: a terrific shoutout to the actual Caju king of the monsters.
Speaker 5: Like my comic book guy there, thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 4: It was okay, it was possible, but I watched this going.
Speaker 4: I say this though, but is this something that maybe
Speaker 4: Conan or Swartzworld would potentially pitch or try and attempt
Speaker 4: maybe m the whole fire breathing fire breathing into his
Speaker 4: face kind of thing. Possibly it fits into that cone
Speaker 4: and wacky universe.
Speaker 5: Yes, as we've often said, you know you're working in animation,
Speaker 5: take advantage of that.
Speaker 4: I think just him chasing him would have been bad
Speaker 4: as post to just grabbing him by the throat and
Speaker 4: burning him in the face. The chase him a shooting
Speaker 4: fire would be a better funny visual, I think.
Speaker 5: I think it certainly would have been. Yeah, yeah, picking
Speaker 5: him up and just breathing fire in his face. Like
Speaker 5: now you could say, oh, this is just taking the traditional,
Speaker 5: tried and true Homer choking bark gag and putting a
Speaker 5: clock in it. But yeah, I'm not sure played on
Speaker 5: that way. I think the timing was just wrong. I
Speaker 5: think just went on just maybe three or four seconds
Speaker 5: too long.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Homer is now at home with a cast on
Speaker 4: his tongue, a massive cast by the way, how digs
Speaker 4: his tongue fucking march Wow. Yeah, but him says he's
Speaker 4: going to put a cramp and put a cramp in
Speaker 4: your love making. I'm afraid of his tongue would be
Speaker 4: in that cast for a few weeks.
Speaker 5: Should me put something of a cramp in your love making?
Speaker 2: If he wants me to do something, he'll just write
Speaker 2: it down.
Speaker 4: That's a really funny gag.
Speaker 5: That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: And even just throwing the way cramp now because he
Speaker 4: tongue gets cramps, well, yours does, but but then writes
Speaker 4: moren on his cast is a bit stupid. Is it complimentary? Yes?
Speaker 4: It is runs outside. Hey, we go to look at
Speaker 4: my comments like whatever, I don't think that whole ten
Speaker 4: seconds that need to be there at all just felt silly.
Speaker 4: You mean, the whole gag I think, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: but it's fine. Then fine, everybody look at my compliment.
Speaker 5: How much should yeah? You should have animated a satisfied
Speaker 5: looking face.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, him looking happy, knowing that at some point
Speaker 4: he's going to realize it's not you'd have to actually
Speaker 4: see it. Yeah. A few weeks later, we're at the
Speaker 4: hospital and Hibbitt has removed. He goes, how do you
Speaker 4: want removed? Yankee or peely and he puts up two
Speaker 4: fingers to say peely.
Speaker 5: It says the second one, yeah, yes, but instead he
Speaker 5: reads it as oh, that's a wife a yankee. Yeah.
Speaker 4: He yanks it off.
Speaker 5: Not again. Not a bad gag. Yeah, I'm giving rob
Speaker 5: some stick, but he's actually he's not going to few
Speaker 5: out of the park here.
Speaker 4: I gotta say this is it's so funny with season
Speaker 4: twenty six, as I found so often we were doing
Speaker 4: the reviews with Washington gun it's there whatever, and we
Speaker 4: reviewed me go when you actually think about it?
Speaker 5: What an accurate representation of when you really think about it? No,
Speaker 5: I think we have said that, but pay attention to people.
Speaker 5: I don't think we've given the episode as a whole pass.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think there's I want to say, more
Speaker 5: wrong with it than right. But the overall quality is
Speaker 5: such that when you've got these little diamonds, there's a
Speaker 5: lot of rough and there are some diamonds. Let's put
Speaker 5: it that way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not the fairway, No, this one, this one landed
Speaker 4: on the green. There's gas land on the green that
Speaker 4: could be going forward.
Speaker 5: So you're using a golfing metaphor.
Speaker 4: So gags land on the green, gags land in the fairway,
Speaker 4: gas land in the rough, and gags landing the bunker.
Speaker 4: They're just bad.
Speaker 5: Some gags just get shanked.
Speaker 4: I love that word because whenever it does a bad kick,
Speaker 4: he's like a shanked it.
Speaker 5: Where did that feels like that hasn't been used in
Speaker 5: football for all that long. It feels like it's a
Speaker 5: recent development, because I mean, really.
Speaker 4: I've always said it ever since I was a kid.
Speaker 5: Because I was about to say when I was a kidding,
Speaker 5: and then I realized that's not recently. It was never said,
Speaker 5: you know when I was like, ah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Like you're stuffed it up. Yeah something, Yeah, out on
Speaker 4: shanked it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, But it seems it seems to me that only
Speaker 5: in I guess the last ten twenty years or whatever.
Speaker 4: I'm thirty six, and I said when I was six,
Speaker 4: So thirty years.
Speaker 5: Oh my god. Yet no, man, oh my god. But yeah, shanking.
Speaker 4: But yeah, so he tried the cherry lollipop is too much,
Speaker 4: Cherry tries a lemon, his face sucks in, and Hibbitt says,
Speaker 4: I think I know what it is, but we should
Speaker 4: do some expensive tests just to make sure.
Speaker 5: Big big medicine. Yeah, but I loved it. It's like, well,
Speaker 5: after the tests go, yes, you're you're a lot of
Speaker 5: nice little bits in this as well, I mean, the
Speaker 5: whole the new the newly developed taste.
Speaker 4: Yeah it taste so he tastes to being burned off
Speaker 4: he's got new ones now.
Speaker 5: Looking a bit like an underwater lava lamp.
Speaker 4: I love the coral.
Speaker 5: Yeah, coral under it look like unless they call him
Speaker 5: a coral forest.
Speaker 4: Do you think I'm not too sure. We'll go with it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, let's say that, but yeah, I just go
Speaker 5: with it. Just go with it, starring you know what
Speaker 5: we're talking about. We're recycling gigs because we're environmentally friendly
Speaker 5: here at four Finger discoun But that whole thing about
Speaker 5: even a tackle could drive you insane.
Speaker 4: So little tacos, I thin you're gonna sybout the Christmas cart.
Speaker 4: I said Christmas cart this year because marg just likes
Speaker 4: the visual of it all.
Speaker 5: By the way, yeah, about two episodes in a row,
Speaker 5: they've gone gone all in on tacos.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, because maybe it was Taco Wednesday when they
Speaker 4: wrote these episodes. It almost makes me forget all about tackles,
Speaker 4: taco flavor kisses, Southar check out our South Part podcast.
Speaker 4: But Marge has boiled some all already out of the
Speaker 4: beats for him. I can still taste over tones of
Speaker 4: pink and Alisa comes in with some other food, which
Speaker 4: is from the school cafeteria, mac and cheese, which has
Speaker 4: absolutely no flavor at all. It looks like food, it
Speaker 4: feels like food, but it has no flavor which brings
Speaker 4: in other things. It's like tofu cubes, tidy Joe's cream
Speaker 4: of steam. You guess them's. And who comes up with the.
Speaker 5: Name of these the formerity comedy writers who are now
Speaker 5: working at in the school cafeteria, particularly one who was well,
Speaker 5: I think the alpha male there is the guy who
Speaker 5: used to work for Charles in Charge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Charles in charg John tell us what it is?
Speaker 5: Well explaining that explained what Charles in Charge is.
Speaker 4: No one knows my age knows what the show is.
Speaker 4: I know what it is. Got I've written here, but
Speaker 4: I thought you might want to describe it.
Speaker 5: I've never really watched it all that much.
Speaker 4: It's just a sitcom that ran from ninety two.
Speaker 5: Yeah, starring Scott eight ninety Sorry, yes, starring Scott Bayo. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he was Charchy on Happy Days.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Doing a description of the show, yeah, please give
Speaker 4: me because I just a beautiful, well educated woman takes
Speaker 4: up the job of babysitting three children of a wealthy couple. However,
Speaker 4: the equations between them change. I don't know what that means. Wait,
Speaker 4: that is the Google description of Charles in Charge. It
Speaker 4: doesn't make any I looked at the show and I
Speaker 4: was like, that is not what I expect.
Speaker 5: No, because I thought that there's like an apartment building
Speaker 5: or something, and maybe she's like a career woman and
Speaker 5: she's got these kids, and Charles is some guy who
Speaker 5: lives in the building and he actually sort of helps out.
Speaker 4: Five seasons, one hundred and twenty six episodes. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: like a plot on the page of premise. The series
Speaker 4: takes place in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Charles, who has
Speaker 4: no given surname, is a student at Copeland College fictional
Speaker 4: perhaps meant to represent Rodgers University, where main campus is
Speaker 4: in New Brunswick, and it's nineteen years old when the
Speaker 4: series begins. What the hell is that to do the
Speaker 4: description of Google look at Honestly, that's what Google look at.
Speaker 4: Google here Charles in Charge.
Speaker 5: Look we called ai slop.
Speaker 4: It just look a beautiful while educable and takes up
Speaker 4: the job. Is that just wrong or is that just
Speaker 4: like an episode storyline or something.
Speaker 5: I think that sounds like an episode beyond a wiki.
Speaker 4: This is that I was just reading that. What I
Speaker 4: was read it was from the wiki.
Speaker 5: Here we go. Okay, Ah, so eating a place to
Speaker 5: live while attending school, Charles applies for a job working
Speaker 5: for Stan and Jill Pembroke, an affluent couple in search
Speaker 5: of a living house.
Speaker 4: So he's the beautiful. So he's the beautiful, he's the manny.
Speaker 4: He's the manny. Yeah. So I just assumed when that's
Speaker 4: a beautiful you'd say handsome, right, I mean, could beautiful,
Speaker 4: But it's Scott Bayer a beautiful But it says a
Speaker 4: beautiful whild hecaded woman.
Speaker 5: That's not right.
Speaker 4: Scott Bao is not a woman as far as I know. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, we're all for you know, gender fluidity.
Speaker 5: Here a four thing in discamp. But still it's just
Speaker 5: what a random description, that's so odd.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he takes up the job of manny for
Speaker 4: Jill and Stan Pembroke.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Feel free to play the Charles in Charge theme,
Speaker 5: which is sort of like a quintessential eighties sitcom theme.
Speaker 5: There's a brand new boy in the neighborhood, something something certain,
Speaker 5: thing something, and it ends with you, I want Charles
Speaker 5: in charge of me, which is what this guy is saying.
Speaker 5: It's like the guiding principal Charles and Charles Charles is
Speaker 5: always in charge because rule.
Speaker 4: It's a good rule to live behind. He's everywhere in
Speaker 4: the shirt Still I'm the guy from Charles in Charge.
Speaker 5: They've probably got the sign up in the writer's room.
Speaker 4: Remember Charles is in charge, sum underlying charge, Yes, underline
Speaker 4: Charles in charge.
Speaker 5: No oneline, it is just I remember.
Speaker 4: But then we get lunch Lady Doris and she's asking
Speaker 4: for the lunch cards, and now Trust McNeil's doing the
Speaker 4: voice here. This is apparently the first time that Doris
Speaker 4: Groun Doris Grouse since she passed that lunch Lady Doris
Speaker 4: has spoken. And I'm gonna be honest, I love Tress,
Speaker 4: but I think either just replaced lunch Lady Doris or
Speaker 4: just don't have her speak, because hearing her do this
Speaker 4: was just I was. I didn't work for it. It
Speaker 4: just didn't sound right at all. Just I think she's
Speaker 4: done it. I thought she'd done it in the past.
Speaker 4: And because I said that in IMDb, I think that
Speaker 4: could be wrong because I'm pretty sure she says I
Speaker 4: have no son, and that wasn't Doris grou that was
Speaker 4: Trust doing it could be wrong though, But anyway, I
Speaker 4: just don't think trust did are very good.
Speaker 5: Well, I think Doris was sort of so it's an
Speaker 5: overused word. Our power. Leonard Maltin hates the word, but
Speaker 5: I think she was so iconic in that particular role. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that you don't want to mess with it too much.
Speaker 4: Just retire the character.
Speaker 5: Yeah, great, a new lunch lady.
Speaker 4: Also just have trust a new lunch late have crazy
Speaker 4: cat leader to be a new lunch lady.
Speaker 5: Why not?
Speaker 4: Why not give us something to do?
Speaker 5: Just got plenty to do with those cats. You know
Speaker 5: what that's like?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Boy do I But Bart notices Homer here, who
Speaker 4: says he will be eating all of his meals here
Speaker 4: because he's able to eat them without going crazy. And
Speaker 4: he says, don't worry, I'm not going to embarrass you.
Speaker 4: And then he has no money, so he has to
Speaker 4: work off the food. She puts him on jello. He
Speaker 4: takes his shirt off, singing some random song about jello.
Speaker 4: He says, bar can't have any because it will keep
Speaker 4: him up all night, like when he got into bed
Speaker 4: with Mummy and Daddy the other night and he takes
Speaker 4: off his pants and getting too hot and don't worry.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to embarrass you. And this start very
Speaker 4: Homovest's dignity scene.
Speaker 5: It did a bit. Yeah, so we talked about diamonds
Speaker 5: on the rock before these were kids.
Speaker 4: Was in the bunker. The cubs cony is in the bunker.
Speaker 4: Ralph then says I used to date your daughter, buddy.
Speaker 4: I'm here to eat, not make interesting conversation. We already
Speaker 4: discussed that. I like that, and asks Homer, why if
Speaker 4: they hang out here, why do you have to be
Speaker 4: here all the time. There's bad enough that I have
Speaker 4: to be here for three days a week. He says,
Speaker 4: I know when I'm not wanted. I wanted.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: Then he leaves and he sits at the table with
Speaker 4: Noah and his mum as he calls us with his
Speaker 4: hot mum later on, and she tests him on state
Speaker 4: capitols and oh my god, he's terrified of you, and
Speaker 4: he's confused as to why she is. Now, why are
Speaker 4: you sitting here with him? He's clearly good at school
Speaker 4: and she's just making sure that he gets good grades.
Speaker 4: And I was like, it's not what we pay overpriced
Speaker 4: wages of public teach us for. And she says, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: She just call me over involved. But one day your
Speaker 4: son will be my son's chauffeur. That's pretty big. That's
Speaker 4: a pretty big diss. Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, And it
Speaker 4: would hurt your ego as well. If someone's that to me,
Speaker 4: I would be annoyed. I feel like it's I take
Speaker 4: it personally.
Speaker 5: Absolutely. The video is off, unfortunately, but if you are
Speaker 5: watching on YouTube or one of the many wonderful reels
Speaker 5: and Instagram stories that Dano puts together, you'll notice it's
Speaker 5: wearing his Space jam t shirt. He actually put his
Speaker 5: hair on Michael Jordan's heart when he said. I took
Speaker 5: that personally. I appreciate it. I thought it was good.
Speaker 4: Well, call me over involved, But someday your son will
Speaker 4: be my son's chauffeur.
Speaker 2: I hope your son enjoys being driven around by the
Speaker 2: president of the United States.
Speaker 5: Really, let's see what the future president's doing right now.
Speaker 2: You don't see many presidents doing that. Maybe he'll be
Speaker 2: j you know.
Speaker 4: At the end, and then we see Bart doing the
Speaker 4: spaghetti in his nose, and I was like, Bart would
Speaker 4: not do this. No for the sake of why are
Speaker 4: you making him? Ralph Wigham, Yeah, it doesn't make any sense,
Speaker 4: does it?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean another sense is that he needs him to
Speaker 4: be this way for the sake of the story that
Speaker 4: Rob's trying to tell. But this shouldn't have been the
Speaker 4: story they're trying to tell.
Speaker 5: That's correct, be better, do better. By the way, the
Speaker 5: parents actually show up at schools the helicopter in this fashions,
Speaker 5: they do not.
Speaker 4: Oh fetchesn't it. I hadn't actually thought about that? But
Speaker 4: yet bit far fetched.
Speaker 5: Again, this episode is full of big stretches.
Speaker 4: But Homer also sees all this is way. She tells
Speaker 4: him that you need to be a helicopter parent, need
Speaker 4: to do more helicopter parentinga and that's where he gets
Speaker 4: the idea. Then he sees he's look, well, I've got
Speaker 4: a backup plan, and it's called Lisa. And turns out Lisa.
Speaker 4: She says, how can she be successful if she's not popular?
Speaker 5: Do you mind if I join you? Well that depends.
Speaker 1: What are you eating? Baked potato side salad?
Speaker 5: And well we're having cold shoulder? Is this seat taking No?
Speaker 5: Go ahead, take it take it way over there.
Speaker 4: It's so cruel, And they take that chair over there.
Speaker 4: Just the visual Lisa sitting in the corner by herself
Speaker 4: or what she's going. God, I hope that's not my
Speaker 4: kid one day.
Speaker 5: But these are burns worthy of a character who later
Speaker 5: appears in this episode, Oscar Wild.
Speaker 4: I would say, yeah, Oscar. Oscar had a.
Speaker 5: Whole slew of one day.
Speaker 4: It was a catty fellow. Then we get Homer. He
Speaker 4: gets home and Margine super relaxed, and he asked where
Speaker 4: she was, and she's not speaking very well. She's just
Speaker 4: on her own little worst. He tries to do it
Speaker 4: via possibilities in his head and he gets the skin
Speaker 4: and a six stecker. Soe, that makes sense and moving on.
Speaker 4: I think that's just a crush to just move the
Speaker 4: story along, right, I think so? Yeah. Homer is worried
Speaker 4: that the kids will be failures if they don't if
Speaker 4: he doesn't get more involved, or they don't get involved
Speaker 4: in their lives, and he doesn't want them working for Noah,
Speaker 4: but March likes the name Noah, and Homer just realizes he, well,
Speaker 4: if she's going to be in her own world, I
Speaker 4: guess it's up to me. So he asked the mayonnaise
Speaker 4: for some extra how much like Popeye would ask spinach.
Speaker 4: And again that's a random visual gag where he just
Speaker 4: eats all this mayonnaise and feels sick in the stomach,
Speaker 4: and that's it.
Speaker 5: I guess, so yeah, And I mean again, there are
Speaker 5: some gigs that going a little bit too long, and
Speaker 5: there are some gags that are weirdly cut short, like
Speaker 5: you know, when he has all that mayo and all
Speaker 5: of a sudden and something like a split second and
Speaker 5: then that's it. And also I'm going to look. I know,
Speaker 5: mayonnaise isn't exactly the most the spiciest of the condiments,
Speaker 5: but still doesn't have hyper sensitive taste buds.
Speaker 4: I mean that is true. Maybe that's why maybe.
Speaker 5: A shit ton of mayo, I think it would still
Speaker 5: yeah on your virgin taste.
Speaker 4: I thought we've completely forgotten that story, isn't it. It's
Speaker 4: like we're completely forgot moving on. So now at school
Speaker 4: and he sees all the other helicopter parents. Apparently there's
Speaker 4: just tons of parents now at the school looking in
Speaker 4: the classroom. It's just for the sake of the story,
Speaker 4: and he sees Bart being dumb again. There's no future
Speaker 4: in that. Missus K says that on Monday, there is
Speaker 4: the Bolts of Wood model building competition first prizes one
Speaker 4: thousand dollars towards your college fund, sponsored by the American
Speaker 4: Bolswood Society. That yeah, yeah, and Homer says, that's what
Speaker 4: my house is worth. I know what the point of
Speaker 4: that was, really, But Bart doesn't know what he's going
Speaker 4: to build. So Hama looks for some sort of time
Speaker 4: for me to take control. Looks on various posters on
Speaker 4: the water, gets some inspiration, and he sees the Eiffel Tower,
Speaker 4: too obvious they see out of space, need or something,
Speaker 4: they need something from Earth, and he sees the blood
Speaker 4: Drive tomorrow You're no help, and the Washington Monument, which
Speaker 4: is perfect according to Homer. So he makes the paper
Speaker 4: plane with the words Washington Monument written and it throws
Speaker 4: it into Bart. He reads it out and finally he's
Speaker 4: outed the question from missus Kay. Then Ralph's just randomly there,
Speaker 4: He says, I like Bart's answer, what are you doing
Speaker 4: here in this class? And really swept me in here? Yeah,
Speaker 4: just excuse for a visual gag. I guess so many
Speaker 4: scenes are ending with bizarre moments. Yeah, don't need to
Speaker 4: be there. Yeah, it's sort of like weird segues or
Speaker 4: bits of connective tissue. That's all we're trying to say
Speaker 4: at the start, Like, there is definitely a really good
Speaker 4: episode in here somewhere, but it's just patted out with
Speaker 4: this random shit.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, I love the idea of someone in
Speaker 5: the writer's room or someone higher up, as Simpson's HQ,
Speaker 5: saying helicopter parents. Wouldn't it be interesting if you know
Speaker 5: someone as seemingly disinterested and uninvolved and disengaged as Homer. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I got the ideas like helicopter parenting, you know, or
Speaker 5: something happens with the kids, like I need to be
Speaker 5: more involved, you know. Oh I hear about this helicopter
Speaker 5: pairing and now I'm way too involved. Yeah. Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: a good concept. It's a really good sort of launch pad.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I want to say this says failure to launch.
Speaker 5: I'll just say there's some diamonds in the rough was
Speaker 5: in the bunker. We're cading some terms here on this episode.
Speaker 5: I feel we are, indeed hope we're running these down
Speaker 5: stre I certainly hope we're recording.

Speaker 4: John Hopeything gives Lisa The Chicks with Click's book to
Speaker 4: help her get popular, and she says, I'll be the
Speaker 4: kind of person that I hate if I do this, though,
Speaker 4: and Howmo says Country was founded by clics, Continental Congress,
Speaker 4: the dolphins, they swimming clicks. These are my two examples.
Speaker 4: These my two examples. How often do you do you
Speaker 4: have examples? You go? These are two? It's more than one.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to I'm branching into copywriting. And one of
Speaker 5: the things I've learned about is ab variants.
Speaker 4: Do you know, I don't know what that is. This is.
Speaker 5: Like anything, It's basically we've got a secret language. And
Speaker 5: that's secret language is actually, oh you mean you just
Speaker 5: mean this? And so yeah, when I'm learning about ab variance,
Speaker 5: it was like, oh, so I'm basically offering you two options.
Speaker 5: You can have this or this.
Speaker 4: That's like Nicholas. She has her office speak because I'm
Speaker 4: so I've been soling out of the office. She has
Speaker 4: everything's an acronym. Now, oh yeah, I'm like, I don't
Speaker 4: know what you mean when you say these things. Yeah,
Speaker 4: speak words please, everything has to be abbreviated. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now, I don't know if it's in The Big Short
Speaker 5: or Wolf of Wall Street, but yeah, they basically say
Speaker 5: we talk like this, so you think you can't do
Speaker 5: what we do? Oh, it's just this.
Speaker 4: What's so Nicola was doing she was doing a job
Speaker 4: interview and she was to go and she goes, yeah,
Speaker 4: they just ask me like KP I S and CPUs
Speaker 4: and old and I'm like, it's ABC's and I'm like,
Speaker 4: I know what some of these things mean, but can
Speaker 4: you just how did it go? Use? It's like we
Speaker 4: knew what I said. We watched it out at the
Speaker 4: moment and they're saying all these big words like dumb,
Speaker 4: a damn for me, please, sir. It stands for emergency room.
Speaker 4: But quite often I'll be running in and I'll go,
Speaker 4: we've got a m v A. It's a motivehicle accident.
Speaker 4: I'm like, you have to sort of like yeah, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 4: I can work that out. But they just like, but
Speaker 4: even there, yeah.
Speaker 5: Even then with that, it's kind of like the way
Speaker 5: they're delivering, Oh, that sounds serious, like, Okay, we're going
Speaker 5: to book you in for an MRI. Okay, coloney, you're saying, yeah,
Speaker 5: you're not. You're not saying that. They're kind of like,
Speaker 5: you need it right now, we'll book you in. Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm not too.
Speaker 4: We can't. Yeah, we need to crash. That sound pretty
Speaker 4: when the music starts serious business. We watch an episode
Speaker 4: last night that is arguably the most intense forty five
Speaker 4: minutes of television I've probably ever watched.
Speaker 5: Since the last one because you told me about the
Speaker 5: one with the gang shooting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a moment. This is just a fully
Speaker 4: fledged just edgy your seat just made me anxious the
Speaker 4: entire time. It's called Love Labor's Lost, and it's when
Speaker 4: this one and it's the main what's the main character's
Speaker 4: name Mark Green. Mark Green has like Anthony, but it's
Speaker 4: a top gun fact. Yeah, it has to deliver a
Speaker 4: baby because you're not gonna make it. And it's just
Speaker 4: I won't spoil anything cause I s thirty years on,
Speaker 4: but it was if you've been through the ordeal of
Speaker 4: your wife giving birth and having to sort of just
Speaker 4: allowed and things get not going.
Speaker 5: It sounds like worst case scenarios.
Speaker 4: He's not going to You have a plan and then
Speaker 4: you realize in the moment, okay, plans gone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh shit, we better play.
Speaker 4: You stand over to hear what we do it and
Speaker 4: you just have to stand back helplessly and watch it
Speaker 4: all unfold. I was getting like PTSD from it.
Speaker 5: Even when we relaunched TV launch Pod. Yeah, we'll do
Speaker 5: the pilot, Yeah we have to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it. We tried the pip Yeah, sorry,
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 5: Nothing's going to recapture that magic.
Speaker 4: It's just I watched well we got loft half an
Speaker 4: hour in a Nicola, looked at me and she goes
Speaker 4: too many quips and I was like, too many quips.
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's just a bunch of not bratty's bratty something.
Speaker 4: The word just smart as.
Speaker 5: People younger than news.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's just and they're equipping at each other,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, you're a team. Why does everything have
Speaker 4: to be a smart ass quip at each other? Like
Speaker 4: why does television medical drummers have to always be smart
Speaker 4: asses to each other? Like in er, they're a team,
Speaker 4: they like each other, they hang out after work, they're friends. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I watched it, I was like, oh, I had such
Speaker 4: good high hopes for the Pitka.
Speaker 5: Clearly we're not doing that on TV. We'll talk.
Speaker 4: There was a dig loving on the first episode, and
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I was not expecting that.
Speaker 5: No one likes a dig loving.
Speaker 4: Not good.
Speaker 5: Look, I was. I had my fingers gloves on this
Speaker 5: morning because it's cool here in July. I was reluctant
Speaker 5: to take those off. Yeah, imagine another layer.
Speaker 4: Not thinking about it. No, not good. But yeah, so
Speaker 4: he's given her the book.
Speaker 5: Again, a relatively saucy gag because it's sort of a
Speaker 5: play on an antiquated phrase that is just very out
Speaker 5: of fashion in twenty twenty five. Yeah, use your imagination
Speaker 5: or do your own research. I'm not going to say it.
Speaker 4: But I was with two thousand and nine so in
Speaker 4: the moment.
Speaker 5: Oh, look, the Simpsons probably probably would use it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then we we have him. He demonstrates it,
Speaker 4: basically says that these will work, all right, So he
Speaker 4: goes to Mo. He demonstrates on the rats aka the barflies,
Speaker 4: and he shows off the unsold, which the insults disguise
Speaker 4: as compliments, and he says to Lenny, takes a lot
Speaker 4: of courage to suspenders when you're not in the circus.
Speaker 4: And I just as mean as these were. I just
Speaker 4: thought that was very funny. Oh yeah, and the reactions
Speaker 4: were pretty spot on.
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, this is basically negginggging yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see it works and unsolts just the beginning. There's
Speaker 2: also invitations hate hugs, spamming with faint praise and hey
Speaker 2: everyone when I get frozen yogurt. Yeah, I'm sorry, Mo,
Speaker 2: I didn't mean everyone everyone. Hope you don't mind.
Speaker 5: No, that's all right, I didn't self booze. They probably
Speaker 5: wouldn't even come here, And that.
Speaker 2: My dear girl, is called the Toledo take back listen.
Speaker 4: I don't want to have anybody's feelings though, And then
Speaker 4: I froze back on her. Yeah you're right, maybe you're
Speaker 4: not ready for this book. I think it's more of
Speaker 4: a bigger girl thing. And she's like, oh no, I
Speaker 4: need I need, I need it. She tries it out
Speaker 4: on line and carn, one of you said something bad
Speaker 4: about the other.
Speaker 5: Just the real entry mind mess with you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, where Crafty Arts Arts and Crafts buys a lot
Speaker 4: of airplane in glue, but no models, as wise guy says,
Speaker 4: what's going on there? So he buys a Messer Schmidt
Speaker 4: and two sixty two, a sixty seven ssgto and an
Speaker 4: Alfred E. Newman interchange with interchangeable arms. Strows me in
Speaker 4: the bin on the way out. I want that Alfred E. Newman.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean you've got a lot of lego around
Speaker 5: the place, and also logo whatever it's called from Lepon.
Speaker 5: Are you like a like a scale model kind of guy.
Speaker 4: Though never have been. I've got lots. So I bought
Speaker 4: When I used to work at the old PC, there
Speaker 4: was a board game and it was Star Wars like miniatures.
Speaker 4: It was got x ME miniatures or something like that,
Speaker 4: and but the actual miniatures of the ships were really
Speaker 4: really cool. So I just bought the ships because like,
Speaker 4: I just like these models, like the little mini and
Speaker 4: many of Falcon it's really detailed, so I've bought those.
Speaker 4: But when it comes to building miniatures.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have the patience or that, or the motors.
Speaker 5: I don't have the skills, mate, Yeah, likewise motor skills,
Speaker 5: but something like that. I remember when I was a kid,
Speaker 5: like a little kid, single digits, and back in those
Speaker 5: dark ages, you'd sort of get give. It's like that
Speaker 5: when you're a kid. I mean, you're having your birthday
Speaker 5: party and your close friends know, oh, we'll get Guy
Speaker 5: Star Wars action because because that's what he likes. But
Speaker 5: you've also invited people who are sort of beat your
Speaker 5: friends and they don't exactly know what you're like. All
Speaker 5: their parents have said this is popular or on sale,
Speaker 5: Guy might like this. I ended up with like a
Speaker 5: couple of model kids. I'm like, no one, no kids
Speaker 5: do models kids anymore? Thank you so much. I appreciate
Speaker 5: the gift. It's very very nice of you. Yon gets
Speaker 5: thrown in the pile and gathered dust.
Speaker 4: Never never use nineteen seventies equivalent of marketplace. That's where
Speaker 4: it went, essentially the back of the cabin or bobin.
Speaker 5: Apologies. The people who gave me gifts that I didn't like.
Speaker 4: I've always thrown out these kids home and butter in
Speaker 4: there to try and buy some bals of wood for
Speaker 4: the monument that they're going to build. What scale you're using,
Speaker 4: what Kalonama were in? None of your business, He says
Speaker 4: he was at one five hundredth of the size. I
Speaker 4: had no idea what any of that meant until I
Speaker 4: went at PC, because we used to sell all the
Speaker 4: figures and stuff that were like a scale. But then
Speaker 4: Skinner mocks them, saying that that's uninspired, and it's basically saying,
Speaker 4: I don't care. My son's a loser.
Speaker 5: He's got sort of a point. You look at the
Speaker 5: Washington Monuments like it's just a.
Speaker 4: It's just a redtailo point on the top, or as
Speaker 4: one of my favorite Simpsons Dads gags, we're looking at
Speaker 4: it in Washington and Marge whispers in home is he oh,
Speaker 4: March grow up? But they decided, well, there's a there's
Speaker 4: a school of thought that is basically designed like that.
Speaker 4: It's basically saying to visiting diplomats or ambassadors or other
Speaker 4: parts of the world, it's like with a big swing
Speaker 4: and dick on the block. Here apparently we know what
Speaker 4: the funk we're doing a lot of.
Speaker 5: Places in Washington are actually designed like the design to intimidate.
Speaker 4: But then Homer asked the wise guy, what's the most
Speaker 4: challenging one to build Westminster Abbey? So he announces to
Speaker 4: all the parents, children, and childless widows in the store,
Speaker 4: and that's pretty spot on.
Speaker 5: It makes sense that scans.
Speaker 4: I like the when he announced it. One guy's like
Speaker 4: prepared to be frustrated, and he says, how hard can
Speaker 4: it be? You're just going to follow the instructions, and
Speaker 4: he can and follow the instruction that's on the door. Yes,
Speaker 4: he pushes, he's pushing the pull door and eventually he pulls,
Speaker 4: pulls eventually just kicks the window in and climbs out.
Speaker 4: When you see people do this, right, you help them,
Speaker 4: But you gotta try and do it in the way.
Speaker 4: It's not going to embarrass them because we've all been there,
Speaker 4: We've gone I didn't read the size, Yeah, but one
Speaker 4: of us seeople. I'm like, will they figure it out?
Speaker 5: Look?
Speaker 4: How long do you wait before you go? I don't
Speaker 4: think I've ever been in that situation. I have, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I say it one time to warm and she's like
Speaker 4: a pull and she's like, oh, pulls it and walks off.
Speaker 4: I tell she was dying inside of embarrassment.
Speaker 5: But are you a helpful person, like at the supermarket
Speaker 5: or something in what way? Well, say, you've got a
Speaker 5: little old lady who you can see, she's like on
Speaker 5: tippytoes trying to get something off a high shelf. Do
Speaker 5: you can I help you with that?
Speaker 4: I say, for any lady, no, Yeah, I will obviously
Speaker 4: always help you. I've helped ladies pushed their trolley to
Speaker 4: the car and kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels good, doesn't it.
Speaker 4: It does. It's done my job for the day.
Speaker 5: We've got my calmer back in alignment.
Speaker 4: I do it usually by just giving a couple of
Speaker 4: bucks to the guy that's begging at the front. That's
Speaker 4: how I feel better.
Speaker 5: I have done that every once in a while, and
Speaker 5: I did. I did want the other No, a couple
Speaker 5: of months ago. Actually where you know, there's a doe
Speaker 5: that from the front of the woolies. I had a
Speaker 5: quick chat with him, said here right man, as oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: cal on a bit, and I said, you want a coffee?
Speaker 5: Actually end up having to go like three blocks to
Speaker 5: grab a coffee and a pastry, took it back to him,
Speaker 5: gave him.
Speaker 4: Mate. Yeah, I prefer to buy food for them or whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, yeah, but oh look, I don't think of myself.
Speaker 5: It's too much of a bleeding heart. But I mean,
Speaker 5: particularly around this time of year, when you see someone, yeah,
Speaker 5: out front of somewhere, it's like, holy shit, you're going
Speaker 5: to be adding this tonight.
Speaker 4: Look the question.
Speaker 5: No, that's the thing. Yeah, maybe I'm a sucker.
Speaker 4: There was one.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not going to say he's fifty bucks.
Speaker 4: No, no, but there's one guy that one the strand
Speaker 4: here near out near our house, and he's sitting there
Speaker 4: and you had the full gear, you know, you had
Speaker 4: like the dirty clothes, dirty hands, like the gloves that
Speaker 4: were sort of like ripped. He's pay me the iPad
Speaker 4: and I'm like, mate, you're killing the gimmick.
Speaker 5: Here's my here's my peep.
Speaker 4: I've ben if you're scan the Q.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean I think it's just in at
Speaker 5: in human nature, inheriting human nature that go, oh man,
Speaker 5: it's getting down to like two degrees. This person is
Speaker 5: going to be outside From a couple of bucks, then
Speaker 5: if I can get a half.
Speaker 4: A roast chicken that's still on the sailing side or whatever,
Speaker 4: the one I have. The dogs always get me well,
Speaker 4: of course that's like that. Yeah, it's like a hell move.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's a real side. I don't care about two legs,
Speaker 4: but four legs. Yeah, a little sachet of what's a
Speaker 4: dog for pal pal that's the that's the the go
Speaker 4: to it or Chum.
Speaker 5: I think Powell came first and then Chum.
Speaker 4: Yeah maybe was like we can't have power friends a
Speaker 4: little on the not buddy, too many letters. Yeah, chum
Speaker 4: pale works. See chump can be taken as friend and
Speaker 4: also just sounds good. That's rhymes of young chum. That's true.
Speaker 4: It's a good word to say. But poll, yeah that works.
Speaker 4: The hell pedigree pedigree.
Speaker 5: I'm just imagining like some don draper guy. Oh, we've
Speaker 5: got our terrific pet food. It's called Smithers pet chow.
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, it's good. Let me let me run
Speaker 5: something by you. Pale eyes, whiskers, it's a great name.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and they don't exist in a vacuum.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, sorry, we've got one of our AFL
Speaker 4: football players and renaming whiskers great.
Speaker 5: He already had a nickname. What a good name go,
Speaker 5: And honestly, that's just a really good brand management before
Speaker 5: brand management even existed.
Speaker 4: Before everyone everyone mocked him. You look back now, you're like,
Speaker 4: what a genius move that was?
Speaker 5: Who would have thought that Gary Butderhawky, who.
Speaker 4: Greatest mullet in the history of football.
Speaker 5: Terrific footballer by all accounts of terrific Fellow didn't seem
Speaker 5: like the sharpest tool in the shed hard nut, though,
Speaker 5: hard nut? Who would have thought that? He was? Just
Speaker 5: a genius a brand what a lord Whiskers Whiskers hocking
Speaker 5: just the one match, right.
Speaker 4: Something like that? Yeah, yeah, I had to call him
Speaker 4: Whiskers for no commentating the game brilliant.
Speaker 5: He had like a twenty twenty five mindset in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 4: Five because he played for the Geelong Cats, which is
Speaker 4: what cats. Yeah, Whiskers everyone, everyone is going to make
Speaker 4: it into the episode. Everyone laughed, but he laughed. I've
Speaker 4: still got the label my name cabinet. She's like, I
Speaker 4: was still in the camp of butdhhocking on the fucking
Speaker 4: label of Whiskers cat food for that week you give
Speaker 4: buy whisk his kafee with Butha's face on it.
Speaker 5: How did we get to talking about this?
Speaker 4: Oh, supermarket asking if I was nice?
Speaker 5: And then we were nice to people outside occasionally those
Speaker 5: people have the dog.
Speaker 4: Can't some pound open the door?
Speaker 5: They got out of the door.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just relaxing.
Speaker 5: Again.
Speaker 4: Homer gets home and he says he's hosting a decorate
Speaker 4: your own cell phone party in the backyard. Brittany and
Speaker 4: Caitlyn arrive, so he tries to spray himself with spray tan,
Speaker 4: but he sprays himself with ant poison, and again with
Speaker 4: nowhere and scenes with random guys that go nowhere. But
Speaker 4: we're at the party and they've got all the Ryanstones,
Speaker 4: tassels and stickers, everything to make a one hundred dollar
Speaker 4: phone look like a five dollars to one hundred doll
Speaker 4: the phone.
Speaker 5: You say, wow, those weather days, lady.
Speaker 2: We've got it all Rhyin stones, stickers, cassels, everything to
Speaker 2: make those one hundred dollars phones look like five dollar toys.
Speaker 1: Lissa, this party is twisted. You are fierce.
Speaker 2: I never called fierce before.
Speaker 1: Strident hectoring has been tossed around.
Speaker 4: Let me take a picture of you from my cell phone.
Speaker 5: I'll put you on my desktop. I'm going to make
Speaker 5: you my friend on Facebook. Please confirm can.
Speaker 2: Fam I am such a great parents to both my kids? Hello,
Speaker 2: little girl?
Speaker 5: Who do you belong to?
Speaker 4: This is probably my least favorite moment in the entire
Speaker 4: episode because everything that I just hate about the modern Homer,
Speaker 4: this gag wasn't needed. You can have this same kind
Speaker 4: of moment with Maggie being jealous. Just see sineye from
Speaker 4: Maggie and have him say something like sorry, keep my
Speaker 4: services of eaten up or just something, just something, something
Speaker 4: him not knowing who Maggie is. I'm like, you've done.
Speaker 4: You're trying to make a scene. The story is that
Speaker 4: Homer gives a shit about his kids. Why would you
Speaker 4: then throw this in there? It unravels everything you're trying
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 5: Just a visual gag of him sort of walking back,
Speaker 5: sort of walking backwards, uh, surveying you know, his good
Speaker 5: work because of that, and he nearly steps on Maggie.
Speaker 5: Maggie sort of scrambles out of the way. It's like,
Speaker 5: oh my, it was a good father to all my children.
Speaker 4: Two episodes ago ended with Maggie and Homer having a
Speaker 4: sweet moment.
Speaker 5: At the end two episodes ago.
Speaker 4: I know it's all about living in a vacuum, but
Speaker 4: why this this gag here of hom not remembering his
Speaker 4: kids and names knowing they exist, is just so levels,
Speaker 4: so many levels are stupid. It is that you just
Speaker 4: you do not need it.
Speaker 5: As we recently explained Daniel, there's no such thing as cannon. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but I know.
Speaker 4: We also discussed I don't think this is necessarily canon.
Speaker 4: This is just it's just.
Speaker 5: In that episode, was like, yeah, you don't necessarily need
Speaker 5: to have canon, but you do need internal logic. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and this is a betrayal of it and a contravening
Speaker 5: of that internal logic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just I don't know, just annoyed. I was like,
Speaker 4: why stupid? Didn't need it? Again, a funny scene ending
Speaker 4: with a stupid moment, all of those in this episode.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and if you don't stick the landiere, it ruins
Speaker 5: the gig that went beforehand. It does.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hoving the offers to build the thing for bars
Speaker 4: stand back a little further, little further, don't you do it?
Speaker 4: It doesn't even want him to watch because he thinks
Speaker 4: it's a little bit creepy. So having then as asleep
Speaker 4: as he's doing it, and he dreams about talking to
Speaker 4: the ghost of Jeffrey Chaucer because he's buried in Westminster
Speaker 4: Abbey and of Cleaves. She says Butt needs to do
Speaker 4: it by himself, and then Oscar Wilde arrives with various
Speaker 4: Bodo liners. There are two tragedies in life, not getting
Speaker 4: what one once, and the other is getting it. Experience
Speaker 4: is simply the name doesn't make any sense. Experiences simply
Speaker 4: the name we give to our mistakes. That makes sense.
Speaker 4: And these days man knows the price of everything and
Speaker 4: the value of nothing. And just like what happened to
Speaker 4: the boo, happened a boo? Just scare me? Just And
Speaker 4: Homer wakes up and he's been smashing the model in
Speaker 4: his sleep basically because he's trying to get the ghosts
Speaker 4: to go away. They arrive at school and Homer says,
Speaker 4: when we could smash the real one? And so it
Speaker 4: looks just like this, But there's no flights to England
Speaker 4: until five, So it's time for the contest next Top
Speaker 4: Model building contest. Milhouse has built as you said this season.
Speaker 5: Also that just Little Kenny, that's your show. What's it?
Speaker 5: One time? Because it's funny, because it's true, because you know,
Speaker 5: I'm sure parents have said that, like that's that show
Speaker 5: that you like, oh min, Yeah, but it wasn't really
Speaker 5: a need for random?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and why.
Speaker 5: Can and not funny enough to be there to be
Speaker 5: so random?
Speaker 4: You could have been better. This is where the bullies
Speaker 4: could have actually worked. You could have had Jim and go, hey, Kennie,
Speaker 4: it's your show because don't changey shit. That would be
Speaker 4: funny as opposed to a random mum and random character.
Speaker 5: We don't know. Why do we care about Kenny in
Speaker 5: his viewing house anyway? So Millhouse has built the CCTV
Speaker 5: building in Beijing. Martin Brazilian, as you said, you've listened
Speaker 5: them all charmers, and walks past them all, says they're
Speaker 5: all great than he sees Barts And clearly they've all
Speaker 5: been the case of meddling parents the previous one. So
Speaker 5: he wanted to Bart because at least you followed the rules.
Speaker 5: And Homer says, this helicopter is taking off a bar says,
Speaker 5: Snow stopped the hovering because Homer, you made this. My
Speaker 5: dad made this, and he pleased to parents to let
Speaker 5: them do it theirselves. You know, you stop doing this
Speaker 5: as what skua one said I saw him too, and
Speaker 5: he uses the quote about the which one does he
Speaker 5: used the experience of the experience. Yes, that's right home,
Speaker 5: and then apologizes and he says the anything I'll do
Speaker 5: for you now is co signed for a gun. And
Speaker 5: then he sees gets a text from Lisa I liked
Speaker 5: this be here. I hate this.
Speaker 4: Because she doesn't know people are still working at.
Speaker 5: Lingo the abbreviations and whatnot. People are still.
Speaker 4: Using Lemeo and Lowell all the time. I feel like
Speaker 4: people not use Lowell all that often anymore, not lamau.
Speaker 4: But I think lol is still maybe. I think LOL
Speaker 4: has been grandfathered in kind of yeah, but I think
Speaker 4: people are more inclined to use emoticons now probably Yeah.
Speaker 5: Actually that's a really good point. I honestly don't remember
Speaker 5: the last time I tyed LOL.
Speaker 4: Because a smiley's face or whatever emodicon used really sort
Speaker 4: of tries to show off this is exactly what I'm
Speaker 4: trying to say with that word low that's correct.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm laughing, and it's usually the yeah, the face
Speaker 5: that's going yeah, but also tilted a little bit yeah.
Speaker 4: Because loll can be I'm laughing with you. Or at you,
Speaker 4: and sometimes it will be misconstrued, and that's what a
Speaker 4: lot of arguments start. Or as I said with my mum,
Speaker 4: she'd write a loll with everything because she thought it
Speaker 4: was lots of love.
Speaker 5: That's right, who did the loll? Lots of lovely? Oh
Speaker 5: is your mom?
Speaker 4: I'll see you, I'll see your Elie's party. Loll. We're
Speaker 4: still going for dinner tonight? Long, I think, so you do?
Speaker 4: Do you want dinner? What are you saying about happy birthday?
Speaker 5: Do you think I meant that one?
Speaker 4: She then looks miserable, or he looks outside and she
Speaker 4: looks miserable out the window, and she says, there's too
Speaker 4: hard staying this shallows hard work. Yeah, hard work. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Homer then says the best thing he can do as
Speaker 4: a parent now is simply check out. No no, no, no,
Speaker 4: there's a middle ground. No no, everything is either on off.
Speaker 5: Well, as you said before, a balance, Well, it's all
Speaker 5: about balance.
Speaker 4: That's what it was because of this line that I
Speaker 4: sort of had the whole balance. Balance should have been
Speaker 4: the theme of this episode. Balance him learning to eat
Speaker 4: bright Food's balanced. It could have worked. Maybe we can
Speaker 4: just ride an episode. We should spec we should do
Speaker 4: a spec. We should definitely do some specs, right, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 4: let's do some Yeah. But he gets home. He's sad
Speaker 4: and disappointed because he tried to fix his kids' lives,
Speaker 4: but it just led them to rich and rewarding decisions
Speaker 4: of their own. And Margo's a place he can really relax.
Speaker 4: The dog matches and the cellar, No, she gave that
Speaker 4: away and got stuff with cash and it costs with
Speaker 4: them in the sauna and she pours some beer on
Speaker 4: the Stones's head, so it's beer in the air. Feeling better,
Speaker 4: super Dad and she and then he says, if I
Speaker 4: feel like I've died and gone to hell, And we
Speaker 4: get the smoke and we see the silhouettes of her
Speaker 4: and him with the towels off, and I was like, oh, damn,
Speaker 4: march I was about.
Speaker 5: To say it was like, that's a pretty sexy moment
Speaker 5: to end on. Yeah, Marge with the hair down. I
Speaker 5: was always like, damn.
Speaker 4: And we get Westminster Abbey there with the exterior hysterious
Speaker 4: shop and Oscar Wilse ghost comes out and I think
Speaker 4: it's a Nutcrackers playing over the top something like that
Speaker 4: like that, and then we get.
Speaker 5: An a cappella version of the Simpsons theme. Yeah, sung boy,
Speaker 5: who was I think the group was called Canvas or Canvas,
Speaker 5: but also the arrangement was gone by a guy named Open.
Speaker 5: Pronounce to this greatly Cason's Swindle, which may be the
Speaker 5: greatest name in history, name Cason Swindle. If I was
Speaker 5: writing a screenplay like an Aussie Ocean's eleven or something,
Speaker 5: it's like an our head guy's case and Swindle'll be like,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, go away, that's too obvious. But it's a
Speaker 5: great name. Haysten Swindle. That's a good name for you.
Speaker 4: Couldn't do it for like a someone who's trying to
Speaker 4: like cheat people good year, like an artist. This swindles
Speaker 4: in the name.
Speaker 5: Imagine if you that is your actual name and you
Speaker 5: go into real estate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no one's believing you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this place isn't about to fall down. I'm sorry,
Speaker 5: Caseon Swindle. Can I believe you? Is the manager of
Speaker 5: JB buying new TV? I was going to ask the manager,
Speaker 5: mister Swindle, but that was But it was a nice
Speaker 5: little version of the I initially thought because it's it's
Speaker 5: rather the sort of blurry video footage of them, and
Speaker 5: I was looking at going. I thought one of them
Speaker 5: might be Yardley Smith. Okay, yeah I didn't. Sorry, I
Speaker 5: didn't do my research. Who's in Canada. I don't think
Speaker 5: it was.
Speaker 4: I think this is This seems to me like one
Speaker 4: of those things where maybe someone's sent it in or whatever.
Speaker 5: I like that, let's just use this. This is true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I use over the closing credits and that
Speaker 4: is there of your father knows worst good story in
Speaker 4: there somewhere, good moments throughout, but a lot of random
Speaker 4: moments are sort of just attract from the good moments
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 5: Look, I'm going to say fifteen percent diamonds eighty five
Speaker 5: percent rough. The rough was not necessarily all that rough.
Speaker 4: I fine, it was more better than that. But yeah,
Speaker 4: this I enjoyed this, Okay, but that's not a complete
Speaker 4: Doing the critique made me really put a spotlight on
Speaker 4: the moments that bothered me more. They didn't bother me
Speaker 4: in the moment, but critiquing it, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: that really doesn't make any sense. I guess what that's
Speaker 4: what it critics for exactly, Ryan, Yes, So we focused
Speaker 4: me highlight the things that are working, and we hilight
Speaker 4: things that aren't working. It just seemed like there are
Speaker 4: a lot more things that didn't work that I didn't
Speaker 4: realize when I was watching it doing this, But yeah,
Speaker 4: not terrible. So just it's there.
Speaker 5: It's there, Yeah, and occasionally you're glad that it's there.
Speaker 4: Gave us an idea for a specscript, Sure did.

Speaker 4: It's like, oh I got to hit my hair ripped
Speaker 4: out of my body way way wait wait, wow.
Speaker 5: I got it done. I was bracing myself for absolute pain.
Speaker 5: I was like, well, that's unpleasant, but yeah, I've had worse.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like when I got a tattoo. Everyone goes,
Speaker 4: it's going to hurt so much.
Speaker 5: I got it.
Speaker 4: I went, I know, various pace plays on your body
Speaker 4: hurt more? Yes, oh god it. I was like, this
Speaker 4: is not that bad. It just feels a bit stingy.
Speaker 5: What Yeah, It's like that's all right.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The greater pain such as this is like, oh, I've
Speaker 5: got to keep my arm in this place for this
Speaker 5: amount of time. It's like can I can? I He's
Speaker 5: like not the middle of it, so uh yeah, So
Speaker 5: I had the wax like that's actually not that bad.
Speaker 5: The lovely Oheze recently was like chest hair is getting
Speaker 5: on a little unruling, So yes, I fix it. I
Speaker 5: did a little bit of man escaping, and now that's
Speaker 5: much better off of these weird I'm a hairy chest, right,
Speaker 5: you've got these weird.
Speaker 4: I've got a gummy bear. I have hair on my
Speaker 4: back right, but it's not I wouldn't look at this
Speaker 4: and go, this is a hairy back.
Speaker 5: It's just patches of hair. I've got that as well.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty hairy on the back, but there are certain
Speaker 5: patches that are like now, I don't know if that's
Speaker 5: oh your shirts three dart has wrapped up against it,
Speaker 5: and now you maybe you've warned away. I don't know.
Speaker 4: You get hair on the top of your arm sort
Speaker 4: of here's the thing.
Speaker 5: I shave it.
Speaker 4: I get away from me.
Speaker 5: I don't recall it sort of growing. I just I
Speaker 5: just woke up one day and it was there. I
Speaker 5: remember when the first name I was mortified having a
Speaker 5: hair and shoulds I won't be able to wear it. Yes,
Speaker 5: we just call the wife. And then it's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: if I go to the beach and take my shirt,
Speaker 5: look at that, look at the freak over once.
Speaker 4: This is years ago. I you know, it's be like
Speaker 4: really in shape, playing footy out, took my shirt and
Speaker 4: then someone's like, oh, you're so white, it's blinding me.
Speaker 4: And I was like, I was just for the rest
Speaker 4: of the day, I'm gonna put my shirt on now.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 4: It ruined me, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 5: And I had that combinations because I was I'm pale
Speaker 5: as milk and hairy as hell. It's like, who's ever
Speaker 5: going to want to touch any of this? Who can
Speaker 5: even look at it? Look away?
Speaker 4: I remember when I first met Nikola, I wasn't having
Speaker 4: hair on my chest. She brought that. She gave me
Speaker 4: a hairy chest.
Speaker 5: She made a man.
Speaker 4: But I said to her, do me to shave it off?
Speaker 4: She goes, no, no, I prefer you have an a hairy chest. Okay, cool,
Speaker 4: This is turning in.
Speaker 5: A real true confession time. This is what you're learning
Speaker 5: in this episode?
Speaker 4: What have we learn about each other?
Speaker 5: Have even got the dad? What Dad? I've learned yet?
Speaker 5: But yeah, in the in the times when I've been
Speaker 5: single and you start to see someone, or even you
Speaker 5: get lucky at the club and you take someone. I
Speaker 5: was like, when I remove my clothing or at the
Speaker 5: very least my shirt, are they just going to be repulsed?
Speaker 5: I got a lot of hair there, don't switch the
Speaker 5: lights off? Had that dog get into the bed?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: I learned that Marge is a very generous lover. Apparently correct, Yeah,
Speaker 4: Marge is the whole package, right.
Speaker 5: Well, it is is marg or is Homer now?
Speaker 4: Because she says, basically, they're implying that Home usually does
Speaker 4: He implied that Homer is usually doing the deed, which
Speaker 4: is why their sex life is going to be cramped
Speaker 4: for a while. She said, no, if you just want
Speaker 4: some hitters to write it down, because does Homer actually
Speaker 4: do that? Or is she just you know, she's just
Speaker 4: thinking I'm always the one giving. I'm the generous lover.
Speaker 5: Okay, because it sounds like Homer's being a generous guy
Speaker 5: as well. Although we're sending in the barbary.
Speaker 4: Love, he's just yet that's the one good trait of
Speaker 4: going downtown, one of the best traits of this relationship
Speaker 4: and the Simpsons in general is just how good their
Speaker 4: sex life is and all the faults of the characters.
Speaker 4: Certainly no middle class family. They haven't got a great deal,
Speaker 4: but they love each other and they get it on.
Speaker 4: Get it on, yeah, exactly, Rod Forward, your names will.
Speaker 5: Be all right.
Speaker 4: It is now time for the Guy Davis New Name
Speaker 4: Championship for season twenty. The current lead the board stands
Speaker 4: at this In first position we have Jared Hornby Jared
Speaker 4: on twenty points.
Speaker 5: What is his name?
Speaker 4: You need me Yared, thank you. In second position we
Speaker 4: have Phil Hawkins on that Jay yeah, on nineteen points.
Speaker 4: And in third position we have Brian Hughes m Hughes.
Speaker 5: It's important to point out that his name is actually
Speaker 5: Brian Hughes, not mchughs. But yeh, he's Mick Hughes. Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: The project has come to a close on Channel ten
Speaker 5: here in Australia. News delivered differently for WOW a decade
Speaker 5: and a half. Apparently my good friend Lee worked for
Speaker 5: the work for the project. But Lee also has just
Speaker 5: written a movie that is in cinemas now. Starry Pierce
Speaker 5: Brosn and Samuel Jackson couldn't believe that really it's called
Speaker 5: the Unholy Trinity check it out. Yeah, apparently a lot
Speaker 5: of what Lee rose is not in the movie, so
Speaker 5: it's kind of disowned it. But at the same time, is.
Speaker 4: He called a writer or is he just a collaborator?
Speaker 4: What's their credit for that it's a co writer? Well no,
Speaker 4: it says written by Lee Zachary. It's okay, so he's
Speaker 4: got the name, he's got the credit, but it's not
Speaker 4: actually his story for the most of it.
Speaker 5: I get the feeling there was probably a bit of
Speaker 5: improvisation on the set, maybe a bit of rewriting and
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: He wrote something and they went, you're given us something
Speaker 4: and we'll work with it kind of thing. That's how
Speaker 4: writing credits. Wait, you look at the Simpsons. They often
Speaker 4: say I write the episode, I'm the writer. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: what I've written is never anything like what comes out
Speaker 4: in TV.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, certainly with the right with a writer room,
Speaker 5: absolutely yeah. They will break down story ideas together and
Speaker 5: it's like, okay, we're going to delegate it to robs it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, zeb Yeah. Because I think it was Carolyn and
Speaker 4: Meine I was speaking to in general, there was an
Speaker 4: episode she wrote and she was saying that she hates
Speaker 4: the ending of the episode, and I said, why did
Speaker 4: you write it that way? She was like, I didn't
Speaker 4: write it that way. She goes, That's why it annoys
Speaker 4: me because I had a different ending. But they it.
Speaker 5: Comes back in and everybody as their two cents and yeah,
Speaker 5: there's a general consensus like all right, this works, and yeah,
Speaker 5: you were the one who was delegated to write it,
Speaker 5: so it's got your name on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so forever, everyone's going, oh, she wrote the episode
Speaker 4: that has that crappy ending, She goes, I didn't write
Speaker 4: the crappy ending though. That was the writer's room.
