Speaker 1: I'm glad we have someone who can join us in
Speaker 1: our anagram games.
Speaker 2: We take proper names and rearrange the letters to form
Speaker 2: a description of.
Speaker 3: That person, like no, I don't know that, like innis
Speaker 3: genuine class, very good, all right, Lisa, Jeremy Irons Jeremy.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, well that's very good for a first try.
Speaker 3: You know what, I have a ball. Perhaps you'd like
Speaker 3: to bounce it?
Speaker 2: Four finger discount dude.
Speaker 4: Welcome to four figure discamp. With this week, we're going
Speaker 4: all the way back to season six. We're doing a
Speaker 4: classic review here of The Simpsons. Is Lisa's rifle. I'm
Speaker 4: Den and I'm Guy's.
Speaker 3: Welcome to a podcast that is a little sterile and
Speaker 3: has no real insight. And by the way, if you're
Speaker 3: watching us on YouTube, you may see the thumbnail or
Speaker 3: you may just see us talking gesturing to see us
Speaker 3: do yes, look he's doing stuff. But you may notice
Speaker 3: that it's just these faces, none of these because Dan
Speaker 3: I came to the very clever realizations, like we're basically
Speaker 3: three feet away from my mother.
Speaker 4: We don't need headta If you're in a radio studio,
Speaker 4: I get it, you know, because sometimes guests are not
Speaker 4: used to radiating, put their headphones on to make sure
Speaker 4: you're talking into the microphone.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. We're professionals, we know what we're doing here.
Speaker 3: I like to pretend we're in a radio studio, to
Speaker 3: pretend that Daniel and Gay in the morning. So you
Speaker 3: want to wear headphones? No, no, no, I'm actually feeling
Speaker 3: it not free with that. I know what our American
Speaker 3: friends feel like now when they like, they don't drive
Speaker 3: without a seatbelt. I mean, I know, do they not anymore?
Speaker 3: It Is it a law in the States that you
Speaker 3: have to have your seat belt on and it is here?
Speaker 3: Or are you just hanging out with hoodlums? That could
Speaker 3: have been I could have been hanging out with Don
Speaker 3: Toretto or the rest of the Fast and the Furious gang.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you see, Americans were like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: I feel restricted, but you will fly through the wind screen.
Speaker 3: That's wrong.
Speaker 4: But was it the Troy McClure video. It's like Alice
Speaker 4: through the windshield glass? Anyway, Lisa's rival. Now, I'm going
Speaker 4: to start by saying, this is an episode that when
Speaker 4: I was a kid, I would probably always skip it.
Speaker 4: I was like that just with Lisa episodes in general.
Speaker 4: Was there a huge fan of Lisa episodes. Of course,
Speaker 4: as we've said Tom and Tom again, the older you
Speaker 4: get as a Simpsons fan, the more you realize you
Speaker 4: are Lisa Simpson most of us. Anyway, This one here, though,
Speaker 4: I forgot, and not only has the Sugar b plot. Yes,
Speaker 4: it has the Millhouse in episode art. The Millhouse is
Speaker 4: two piece feed of comedy. That is my actual note.
Speaker 4: The Sugar episode, I'd forgotten all about that. I just
Speaker 4: knew it was the Lisa Rivals Lisa's rival episode, and
Speaker 4: I'd forgotten that it was the Wannona run a guest,
Speaker 4: which I think was one of the reasons that we're
Speaker 4: doing it today, other than the fact that it's a
Speaker 4: good episode. But Biggle Juice, bigtle Juice is out in cinemas.
Speaker 4: Not a writer.
Speaker 3: She's back, baby, well, she's back, been back for some
Speaker 3: time with Stranger Things and never really went away. Never
Speaker 3: liked are a stranger things, always in our hearts, never
Speaker 3: ars are stranger things. Her character just never evolves, and
Speaker 3: it's boring to me. I think you might be right.
Speaker 4: She's just the same facial expression. It's just it's just
Speaker 4: there's nothing there.
Speaker 3: Face it's not asking a lot of her, and I
Speaker 3: think Monona writ is probably capable of more than that
Speaker 3: show I was asking for it. I think, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: good that she got the gig. It's probably been a
Speaker 3: nice little payday for her. It's certainly a nice profile booster.
Speaker 4: It probably introduced it to a whole new audience as well.
Speaker 3: As that as well. I mean, I think one thing
Speaker 3: that Stranger Things has done well is has brought back
Speaker 3: a lot of the eighties, eighties icons, eighties and nineties
Speaker 3: icons to the kids of today. So I think the
Speaker 3: show has influenced just pop culture in general, what people
Speaker 3: are wearing, what people are listening to. Oh yeah, there's
Speaker 3: a whole strange real that's really seeped through into a
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of popular popular culture, a lot
Speaker 3: of reboots. I think. You look at the you know.
Speaker 4: The two new Ghostbusters movies, Yeah, they feel well, you know,
Speaker 4: you've got the presence of what's his name, Finn Wolfard
Speaker 4: in there from Stranger Things.
Speaker 3: So but they've got very much that whole eighties amblem,
Speaker 3: goonies kind of thing as well. But yeah, the Goonies
Speaker 3: has been through the Stranger Man film. Yeah. Yeah, although
Speaker 3: Dan days like Goonies, they're back, They're gonna make another
Speaker 3: movie Beby. And then I saw an article saying both
Speaker 3: Corey Feldman and Martha Blinton have said, no, I don't
Speaker 3: think it's happening. Really yeah, I was going to send
Speaker 3: you that lot. No that it didn't talbum. We want
Speaker 3: everyone except you still work.
Speaker 4: Saw Coley Fabn's recent concerts and he was like, no,
Speaker 4: there's a great.
Speaker 3: What's more of a train wreck the Corey Filman concerts
Speaker 3: or the recent Jane's addiction cos.
Speaker 4: There's a great video online at the moment of Corey Feldman,
Speaker 4: he plays like this air horn during one of his songs.
Speaker 4: It's like after circus music. Yeah, yeah, right, but it
Speaker 4: plays some other horn sound but it's like a little
Speaker 4: and he gets played the horn it doesn't work, and
Speaker 4: watching his brain try to contemplate what do.
Speaker 3: I do and this is can't think.
Speaker 4: He starts fiddling with it and he plays and it
Speaker 4: goes doesn't play it right, and he sort of carries on.
Speaker 4: You're like, what it's like. It's honestly a train wreck
Speaker 4: that you can't look away from. Cory, Poor Cory, because
Speaker 4: he's on gin Comis podcast. Nice guy on Gym Comings podcast.
Speaker 4: Nice guy.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's a very nice fellow, but you just
Speaker 3: can't seem to catch a break professionally speaking. But yes,
Speaker 3: enough about that. Yeah, let's talk about this icon of
Speaker 3: the eighties. We're known a writer and her presence in
Speaker 3: Lisa's Arrival a good fun episode, I thought, Yeah, great appearance.
Speaker 3: The only thing one of the negatives I've.
Speaker 4: Always had with this episode was that they introduce Alison
Speaker 4: as one of Lisa's new best friends.
Speaker 3: They almost establish.
Speaker 4: Her as their new main character by being the best friend,
Speaker 4: let's be best friends only, let's be friends only, were
Speaker 4: the best and then you see her in crowds, but
Speaker 4: you never hear from because we don't.
Speaker 3: Never return, Okay, I never I didn't realize that she
Speaker 3: saw hip pop up.
Speaker 4: She'd be in the school yard, you know, sort of
Speaker 4: sitting there eating at large or should be with the
Speaker 4: other cool kids or whatever, just like one of the hits,
Speaker 4: hanging out. But you never hear her speak again. An
Speaker 4: why her and Lisa not hanging out anymore? That's always
Speaker 4: been like, don't end the episode with them going let's
Speaker 4: be the best of friends.
Speaker 3: I understand why they said it, because mine that wraps
Speaker 3: up everything at the same time. Yeah, if you can't
Speaker 3: follow through, then yeah, just don't do it. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: is advice I've been given so many times.
Speaker 4: I would just say to can you just record like, say,
Speaker 4: ten or twenty other lines, but we can just slotch
Speaker 4: you into car into episodes.
Speaker 3: Here and there. Hi, I'm Alie. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But this was the first episode written by Mike Scully,
Speaker 4: who had gone to become showrunner of The Simpsons. Absolute
Speaker 4: legend but on the show numerous times. Love our man,
Speaker 4: Mike Scully. But this was an episode originally pitched by
Speaker 4: Conan O'Brien. He pitched the idea of Lisa having a rival,
Speaker 4: didn't elaborate it. It was just Lisa should get a rival.
Speaker 3: Right, the magical comedy brain of Conan o'brien're just throwing
Speaker 3: great ideas out into the of the universe and Scully
Speaker 3: picks it up runs with it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Episode and George Meyer of course Simpson's legend as well.
Speaker 4: He pitched the Homer sugar b plot. Oh, there's so
Speaker 4: many the a team came together, well you get in
Speaker 4: look at it right in the writer's room, Lisa's rival
Speaker 4: and the Homo sugar Bee plot. How they made them
Speaker 4: work in the same episode.
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 4: I don't think they actually overlap it anyway, don't, but
Speaker 4: they both it works, though, feel disjointed in any way.
Speaker 3: No, No, I mean there's two really good plots running
Speaker 3: together in sort of parallel. Yeah. Their lines don't intersect
Speaker 3: or anything like that. They won't do. They don't have to.
Speaker 3: They're both strong enough and both well contained enough that
Speaker 3: you get exactly what you need. It would be silly
Speaker 3: if they tried to make them intersect in some way.
Speaker 4: That's where sometimes we do talking Si Feld. Of course,
Speaker 4: sometimes the side Fel plots feel a bit convoluted because
Speaker 4: you think you're just.
Speaker 3: Trying to make all the three.
Speaker 4: This one is just proof that if there does two
Speaker 4: sold stories, they can run co currently, concurrently and not
Speaker 4: have to intertwine exactly right. Yeah, but the Homer b plot,
Speaker 4: what a story. It's so silly, but you know what
Speaker 4: it is. It works because it's so on point for
Speaker 4: his impulsive nature.
Speaker 3: Yes, and he's always looking to get rich quick, and
Speaker 3: he just gets poor slowly, does get rich quick. He
Speaker 3: wants to get rich quick, but he also wants it's
Speaker 3: the whole Scarface thing is like he wants the power
Speaker 3: as well. He wants and it's one of the great
Speaker 3: little Homer monologues where you know, marj just saying, yeah,
Speaker 3: give up this sugar dream and the whole it's one
Speaker 3: of the great American motivational speeches. Barzon and speaks to
Speaker 3: the character of Homer as well. Then he feels sort
Speaker 3: of downtrodden, a bit disrespect and he'd love to be,
Speaker 3: you know, a big man in Springfield. Fantastic, but it's
Speaker 3: so well written and so well performed by Dan, that's
Speaker 3: the thing.
Speaker 4: And David Silverman, once he heard Dan's dialogue or he's
Speaker 4: acting of right of this scene here, he was like,
Speaker 4: I have to be the one to animate this because
Speaker 4: this is just too good.
Speaker 3: So the thing is, though the Homer.
Speaker 4: Reference of Scarface there first you get the sugar sugar.
Speaker 4: So we recently did season nineteen episode where there was
Speaker 4: a soprano's reference at the start where he killed Grandpa.
Speaker 4: Hope he killed Grandpa, and I know it was references
Speaker 4: to sopranos, but it didn't feel timeless. This here is
Speaker 4: a perfect example of a reference that as a kid
Speaker 4: you wouldn't get, but you know it's something, and it's
Speaker 4: still We're watching it in twenty twenty four and it
Speaker 4: still feels on point and timeless.
Speaker 3: It helps that al Zoey's sort of doing the paccino
Speaker 3: is Tony accident. I also love home.
Speaker 4: Sorry March in this episode right, just her I don't
Speaker 4: give a shit nature so so basically she's getting getting
Speaker 4: no jollies from the sex books. Right then you got
Speaker 4: she's giving half fast cliche advice Lisa like she's more
Speaker 4: afraid of you than.
Speaker 3: She doesn't care.
Speaker 4: And then when Homi goes on his massive rand, right
Speaker 4: and at the end she goes, just get.
Speaker 3: Rid of the sugar?
Speaker 4: Will she just like let she hears me out and
Speaker 4: she goes, just mate, just get rid of it.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite bits. I don't if we're going
Speaker 3: to jump ahead of this, but I will say that
Speaker 3: one of my favorite moments. It's a throwaway line from
Speaker 3: Marge at the very start when she's trying to get
Speaker 3: a bit of a bit of March. I sacrificed a
Speaker 3: really good camera because you think Homer is doing his
Speaker 3: half hour repairs on the just throwing a camera at him,
Speaker 3: Go do something, stay away. I want to rid my
Speaker 3: my pirate romance.
Speaker 4: Even though Marge was not the start of this episode,
Speaker 4: I thought, this is one of my favorite Marche episodes.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just so relatable. Enjoy a little fabio time.
Speaker 4: It's like we're has she gave the camera to home.
Speaker 4: It's like when you give the kids something, it's like,
Speaker 4: go do this. I don't give a ship what you
Speaker 4: do with it, just leave you alone for five minutes.
Speaker 4: But this, Yeah, Marge was so relatable in this episode. Also,
Speaker 4: I liked the Bar and Lisa teamwork aspect as well.
Speaker 3: It's true, yeah, they will have each other's back invariably,
Speaker 3: but it often takes some time to get there. But
Speaker 3: it's nice when Bart feels like he can use his
Speaker 3: evil powers for good and he feels like he's probably
Speaker 3: gained a little moral high ground by saying, all right, well,
Speaker 3: this is what I do well, but I'm going to
Speaker 3: do it in service of my my sister who's clearly hurting,
Speaker 3: clearly needs a bit of help.
Speaker 4: But she's also turned to the dark side as well,
Speaker 4: which you'll do occasionally.
Speaker 3: I think we're usually find kind of interesting. It can
Speaker 3: get a little repetitive every once in a while, but.
Speaker 4: Usually Bart that's helping her as well.
Speaker 3: That's helping it. It's right. That was good.
Speaker 4: I like because Bart prefaces by saying, I know it
Speaker 4: goes against all your morals, just like me. And yeah,
Speaker 4: So a couple of fun facts about this episode, well,
Speaker 4: one I liked in particular Mike's Gully first episode. He wrote,
Speaker 4: He's got two daughters, right, Alison and Taylor.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 4: When you have that ability to sort of just fold
Speaker 4: in your shout out to your family. You know, it
Speaker 4: doesn't stand out like a sore one or anything like that.
Speaker 4: It's just you know, his kids watching and going, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: they've got a little memento for life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but I mean, Alison Taylor's not not
Speaker 3: the kind of name that you go, that's good. It
Speaker 3: means something. It's a name.
Speaker 4: But but see, Taylor is a common last name. But
Speaker 4: when you sometimes you get people who have two first
Speaker 4: names as their names. I've got a friend, right, one
Speaker 4: of my my best mate, Philip Stewart. It's just like
Speaker 4: it's two names. There's a politician in Australia.
Speaker 3: I think his name is like Stuart Robert.
Speaker 4: Oh that's weird, and yeah, Robert Stewart I can buy
Speaker 4: Stuart Robert.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not Roberts, which is the normal kind
Speaker 3: of your son. I'm pretty sure it was Stuart Robert,
Speaker 3: but Davis like type with our former prime Minister Scott Morrison.
Speaker 4: What about what about the old AFL. Maybe a player,
Speaker 4: but he was a coach of Hawthorne at one point,
Speaker 4: Donald McDonald, you're just taking the piss, taken the piss.
Speaker 4: Why would you do that?
Speaker 3: I have no idea my favorite?
Speaker 4: What were your favorite moments from Lisa's Rival?
Speaker 3: As I mentioned just I sacrificed a really expensive camera
Speaker 3: Togain to have a little time with my pirate porno book.
Speaker 3: There was some really great I wouldn't say like one
Speaker 3: scene characters, but just had little moments. They were just given,
Speaker 3: I don't know, interesting bits to do. I mean, I
Speaker 3: really love the voice that they gave Professor Taylor. Oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's like to bounce it just the perfect level.
Speaker 4: Of So I think is he a good is he is?
Speaker 4: Alison's had a good guy or a bag.
Speaker 3: I think he's a good guy, but he's condescend he is.
Speaker 4: I don't think he is on a level of the
Speaker 4: Cotswolds from no, no, but that's I reckon. He's kind
Speaker 4: of getting there. He's not he's not as like, you know,
Speaker 4: over the top, because Choe Park's not doing the voice,
Speaker 4: of course, but he's pretty turns his nose up like
Speaker 4: he thinks he's better than everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's rubbing anyone's face in it.
Speaker 3: But if you can't keep up, then he's gonna be like, Okay,
Speaker 3: then fine, because.
Speaker 4: He's smart enough to know that. Often this ball was
Speaker 4: the most condescending thing you could ever do to this chart.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I did that, Amma. Grain game sucks. Oh man,
Speaker 3: I would just not go to the Tayler's house. I
Speaker 3: would never go there.
Speaker 4: No, I don't wonder she has no friends.
Speaker 3: But the voice that I don't know who did it
Speaker 3: made it sounds a bit Harry Ish.
Speaker 4: Probably was Harry. So Alison Taylor father?
Speaker 3: What was it? Did I say his name? Alvi? Professor Taylor?
Speaker 3: Professor Taylor? But why are you looking that up there?
Speaker 3: The other characters are really in love with the beekeepers.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Adam West personation.
Speaker 3: I thought they were doing almost like a spock and
Speaker 3: chat and the kind of thing. Maybe, Yeah, it's like
Speaker 3: but yeah, you're right, it is more Adam West. Yeah
Speaker 3: it was. How is she by the way, mister Taylor. Okay,
Speaker 3: but those two guys, it's just a weird dynamic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's almost like a Smithers the other guy was.
Speaker 3: A little bit. Yeah, except you know when they actually
Speaker 3: go to homeless place and they're trying to get the
Speaker 3: sugar ban, he's the one taking the leave look around
Speaker 3: shirt hold on.
Speaker 4: I've always loved the Simpson you diabom.
Speaker 3: I thought it was really funny. I just like the
Speaker 3: way those two work together. What was it? It goes
Speaker 3: a little too quiet, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid I don't. Yeah, that's just something I really enjoyed.
Speaker 4: And the Millhouse, I didn't do anything. Always lost on
Speaker 4: me as a kid, never got this. I watch the
Speaker 4: Fusion and I was just like, that's the bit but
Speaker 4: the maglasses And the best part about it is I
Speaker 4: never realized this until I did it for this review
Speaker 4: at the Dior Rama Rama Millihouse's glasses are broken.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm like, what to call that?
Speaker 4: And then two scenes got two scenes later, there's not
Speaker 4: two scenes, got two shots later.
Speaker 3: His glasses aren't breaken. I was like you committed to
Speaker 3: the bit, you need to drop the ball.
Speaker 4: But apparently there was a lot of production issues with
Speaker 4: this episode.
Speaker 3: Did you read on Wikipedia? I did not.
Speaker 4: So a hurricane went through as was it a hurricane?
Speaker 4: Believe it was a hurricane and completely destroyed the animation
Speaker 4: building to the point where it was condemned and they
Speaker 4: had to like animate most of the episode from home
Speaker 4: sent them back a whole month. There was a whole
Speaker 4: month of production, like six months of like shit was
Speaker 4: just like lost. So I can understand why there would
Speaker 4: be mistakes like that, but still at least like the
Speaker 4: initial callback, Let's cut them some slack, cut them some slack.
Speaker 4: Hurricanes will do that, they will. Yeah, So where what
Speaker 4: was the hurricane? How me have a look the north
Speaker 4: Ridge earthquake not a hurricane, an earthquake. So production episode
Speaker 4: was disrupted by the nineteen ninety four Northridge earthquake.
Speaker 3: Man, this was being made thirty years ago.
Speaker 4: I feel so oh whenever I read these new these
Speaker 4: facts which also affected the previous episode, but of darkness
Speaker 4: as well. The film Roman was the building that got destroyed. Anyway,
Speaker 4: what else did you enjoy from the episode?
Speaker 3: I enjoyed all those What did you like?
Speaker 4: I liked, Yeah, Homer's rant and Margines not giving me
Speaker 4: a shit.
Speaker 3: He's, oh, what the world, it's melting, It's melting.
Speaker 4: The b guys of course, and yeah, just Marg's overall,
Speaker 4: I don't give a shit nature in.
Speaker 3: This episode I like to watch. Yes, next question you
Speaker 3: there eating the Beast Trivia time, mister Davis, trivia time.
Speaker 3: Hit me with your first question, how many have I
Speaker 3: got here? I think I might have three or four? Okay,
Speaker 3: I think I initially had three, And then like, let's
Speaker 3: repurpose some of these favorite moments into questions because I
Speaker 3: think I'm a feet unlike Corey Feldman. Ah, what is
Speaker 3: That's a callback? That's right? My glasses remain unbroken.
Speaker 4: Listeners who skipped through to like this bit because that
Speaker 4: trivia is their favorite part.
Speaker 3: They're like, what did it call back to? What? I'm
Speaker 3: going to go back and listen to the whole Corey,
Speaker 3: I might have to become a patron. What is being
Speaker 3: advertised on the back of bad.
Speaker 4: First question, Larimy Laramie Junr.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: My next question for you then is what is the
Speaker 4: number to comment about? How harns moment is driving?
Speaker 3: How am I.
Speaker 4: Driving stick on the back. Oh, he's ripping it off
Speaker 4: after the crash that I did not see one eight hundred,
Speaker 4: triple five three eight seven to two.
Speaker 3: Okay, then, speaking of numbers, Ah, how much do you
Speaker 3: pay for sugar per pound at the grocery store? Thirty
Speaker 3: five cents thirty five cents opposed to a dollar per
Speaker 3: pound the time. But you can't get prizes though, that's true,
Speaker 3: you don't get any broking laws or nails.
Speaker 4: My next question is, besides Dia Rama rama, what is
Speaker 4: Skinner's other favorite school event?
Speaker 3: Oh, man, no, I've lost it. It's hearing test Thursday,
Speaker 3: of course. Yes, who are the members of I forgot
Speaker 3: the name of the band, but their single is born
Speaker 3: to run her Up? I want to run her up?
Speaker 3: What the hell is that? Well is Lisa and she's
Speaker 3: in the band of the the.
Speaker 4: Also ran ah, yeah, so what do you want to
Speaker 4: know the name of the band?
Speaker 3: He else is in the band?
Speaker 4: In the band, so it's Oats, Yes, it's garth Unkleina that's.
Speaker 3: Right, yes, as in so I'm gonna guf Funkles Loggins
Speaker 3: and Messina and haller notes yes, hall of notes. I
Speaker 3: love a lot of it.
Speaker 4: Be careful, right, but they're live version. No, I'm probably wrong,
Speaker 4: but just me personally. Their live version of You Make
Speaker 4: My Dreams Come True is always played too fast and
Speaker 4: like off key when they do it liveause it's one
Speaker 4: of my favorite songs.
Speaker 3: I've listened to it. It's just like slow down a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Oh no, they're doing that thing you do where he
Speaker 3: plays it a bit faster and then it.
Speaker 4: Becomes it's almost like it's like trying to prove that
Speaker 4: they're playing it lives.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit faster. It's just it's just not
Speaker 3: quite right. That's not what I was expecting. So I'm
Speaker 3: gonna have to look up the live version of being
Speaker 3: Made My dream and whatever. He sings, yes you and
Speaker 3: he looks it's just like just singing it. You keeps
Speaker 3: stop pulling a guy talking away from the microphone. That's bad.
Speaker 3: My final question for you then, No, I was going
Speaker 3: to go on a big horn ans horn. Now I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna say how they're great.
Speaker 4: My final question for you is who is Skinner's favorite
Speaker 4: Star Wars character Chewy? Yes, we haven't mentioned that yet.
Speaker 4: Ralph was also an MVP in this episode. Because three
Speaker 4: great Ralph lines.
Speaker 3: That's true. I can live without the my cat's name
Speaker 3: is Mitten thing. Although I did like the callback. It's
Speaker 3: all their callbacks this episode. That's true.
Speaker 4: See what happens when the writers my Scully can.
Speaker 3: Just make a little effort a second raft. I did
Speaker 3: like when he's asked Lisa about you know, the answered
Speaker 3: the test. She sort of turning him down. Then he's
Speaker 3: asking Allison and Lisa's got a chime and say, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to tell you leave me alone.
Speaker 4: Yes, but my cat's smells like Catsh's one of the
Speaker 4: most iconic ones. It's not necessarily funny, but just the
Speaker 4: fact that he brought the Star Wars, it's just like,
Speaker 4: of all people, what was it?
Speaker 3: What is?
Speaker 4: What is It's gonna say? Now we're dregs. That's also
Speaker 4: great that in the Simpsons they're not afraid to have
Speaker 4: the teachers just show that this kid's like never gonna win.
Speaker 3: We have to I love the Missover is just completely disinterested.
Speaker 3: What do you think? I think it's lunch. But is
Speaker 3: Skinner just really happy because he's seeing these action figures
Speaker 3: in their box or is he going to keep them?
Speaker 3: Keep them? Why would he keep them. Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, he just seems so happy to see them.

Speaker 4: So the original air day September eleventh, nineteen ninety four. Now,
Speaker 4: the reason we picked this episode we should have mentioned
Speaker 4: at The start was, it's been this week, it's been
Speaker 4: a week ago.
Speaker 3: What's it five days ago? Now? Yes, five days ago?
Speaker 4: As we record, this is on the sixteenth, my wife's birthday,
Speaker 4: Hay birthday, Nicola birthday, five days ago. This originally aired
Speaker 4: thirty years ago. Can you believe it thirty years ago
Speaker 4: to this week?
Speaker 3: Instead of making a feeling five days ago? It was
Speaker 3: the anniversary. I know, I get to it.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, so it was the week of thirty years ago.
Speaker 4: Written by Mike Scully and directed by the legendary Mark Kirkland.
Speaker 4: Guest to writer as Alison Taler. As we discussed chootball gag,
Speaker 4: No one is interested in my underpants, which was apparently
Speaker 4: recycled from the first clip show. So it's come to
Speaker 4: this as Simpsons clip show and the Couch gave the
Speaker 4: Simpsons swim to the Couch. The episode kicks off with
Speaker 4: what Miss Davis is playing her sack? She is playing
Speaker 4: her sax and Homer is not a fan note but
Speaker 4: he's trying to.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He comes in and says, well, you can do
Speaker 3: whatever you want in my room. I'm gonna do whatever
Speaker 3: I want in my rooms yea, and reads his issue
Speaker 3: with bad Boys Life mag with advertising Larry me June's
Speaker 3: in the back and kicking the wall. Yeah, making it
Speaker 3: impossible for Lisa to practice her sacks. Now.
Speaker 4: I have commented time and time again that I do
Speaker 4: find it annoying when Bart is just mean for the
Speaker 4: sake of being mean, like particularly to Lisa. But as
Speaker 4: the kids get older, my kids, Holly and Elliott, I've
Speaker 4: soon realized that Bart is just being a brother and
Speaker 4: Lisa's just being a sister, and siblings just fight. They
Speaker 4: do unncessarily, Like the kids be sitting there and I'll
Speaker 4: start pushing it. I was like, what possessed you to
Speaker 4: start fighting?
Speaker 3: Why are you doing this?
Speaker 4: You don't like it when he does it to you,
Speaker 4: you don't like when she doesn't to you.
Speaker 3: Well, what's going on? But when this happens, you know,
Speaker 3: don't lose. The lesson is then a way they're like, okay,
Speaker 3: let's practice a little conflict resolution here or on bored
Speaker 3: little I don't want to do that. Let it play out.
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll kill each other. I'll get some slet just
Speaker 3: gay my sex book.
Speaker 5: My these seas are certainly heaving well, no more than
Speaker 5: your bountiful bothom Milady.
Speaker 3: Does that ering mean you're a pirate.
Speaker 5: Kind of Ah, these seas have quieted, and only in
Speaker 5: this sweet embrace of quietude can two lovers truly be
Speaker 5: such noise.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm done for bodle.
Speaker 1: Stop blowing my sex, I mean, stop blowing your sacks,
Speaker 1: your sacks.
Speaker 3: Stop it. Do men have books like this? Erotic novels?
Speaker 4: Because it's always in you know, in Popcagi say it's
Speaker 4: it's the women have the that's fifty shades of gray
Speaker 4: and we're porn, don't we?
Speaker 3: Is that just? Is that just average of novel? I guess?
Speaker 3: So I was talking about we need pictures. I was
Speaker 3: talking about this other day actually because my brother in law,
Speaker 3: Mark married to my sister Margo. What I'm getting it,
Speaker 3: there's a story, but our birthdays are one day separately,
Speaker 3: just like you. It was, so he's he he's on
Speaker 3: the seat. Ye yes. My sister Margo put a very
Speaker 3: old picture of Mark up on Instagram to celebrate it.
Speaker 3: And you know, he's twenty something, bare chest has got
Speaker 3: a tan. He's on a boat reading an eighties copy
Speaker 3: of Playboy, looking very happy to be doing so who
Speaker 3: among us? And I gave a shadow for it? And
Speaker 3: ready Playboy. What you who care? Let that guy educate you.
Speaker 3: It's not like he was reading Hustler, which is a picture.
Speaker 3: But you know, Playboy when it was designed was like,
Speaker 3: here's the here's the best scouch on the market at
Speaker 3: the moment, here's the best Dario supplies, and you know,
Speaker 3: here's and here's an interview with Golviadah or something like that.
Speaker 3: And by the way, he's a lady who's not wearing
Speaker 3: a whole lot.
Speaker 4: It was always marketed as the upper class, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very much. I mean that was that was
Speaker 3: Hefner's thing.
Speaker 4: I missed the poor magazine era because by the time
Speaker 4: I didn't by the time I was an early teen,
Speaker 4: it was the Internet and it occasionally find a porn
Speaker 4: magazine in the bushes somewhere years ago.
Speaker 3: I never saw that. Everyone always talks about, you know,
Speaker 3: finding woods pornography.
Speaker 4: I found one once and it was just like, we
Speaker 4: became men.
Speaker 3: Why are you going to I don't know who's been
Speaker 3: touching this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you kids, you're like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But I mean I get the feeling I was
Speaker 3: fighting a losing battle trying to explain that Playboy was
Speaker 3: actually like a legitimate magazine that also had naked like.
Speaker 4: Dick up stupid, I'll dig my my house.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was. I was team Playboy and.
Speaker 4: Was Playboy thing it is for a while there it
Speaker 4: was like I hate to use the two and woke,
Speaker 4: but it was like, Okay, we're gonna have women in
Speaker 4: there beginning to be wearing clothes.
Speaker 3: It's like, well, that's Vogue. That's just any magazine that's
Speaker 3: that's yeah, that's Women's Weekly.
Speaker 4: What was the teenage version of Playboy? Zoom Magazine? Was
Speaker 4: Zoom Magazine?
Speaker 3: Ohyeah, on those lad mags from the nineties. Yeah fhm, and.
Speaker 4: That was two thousands because it was a high school
Speaker 4: for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh okay, but yeah, they really started to kick
Speaker 3: in in the nineties. But yeah, fahm goes bikini kicking
Speaker 3: around and whatever. Yeah, can you get you?
Speaker 4: Like I think it was like once a month, like
Speaker 4: your Zoo cards, like a different cards or whatever you
Speaker 4: sent away Cooper or whatever, and you're like chicks was
Speaker 4: like body paint. You're like, let's take pocketing that. We
Speaker 4: have moved on from that, Yes, I was fourteen, No.
Speaker 3: Well not justin Yeah, society has moved on and Daniel
Speaker 3: and I have moved on. Yeah, yeah, well Dan I
Speaker 3: has moved on. But but it was just being oh yeah,
Speaker 3: but but Margin is of course reading her.
Speaker 4: Yes, because she sent Homer to the garage to fix
Speaker 4: her camera, and yeah, Homos's not doing a very good job.
Speaker 3: But as you said, March, I like it when yeah,
Speaker 3: Homer's stupidity is sort of masked with he's not going
Speaker 3: ooh h dude on the dummies, more like we're gonna
Speaker 3: need a bigger drill. Yes, I thought that was really great.
Speaker 3: I also liked when when Marge was reading her normal
Speaker 3: and it's clearly Hanker's area doing one of his fruity voice.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, does that? Does that mean you're a part kind? Now?
Speaker 3: We discussed recently.
Speaker 4: You didn't realize this that the piercing in the left
Speaker 4: ear meant that you was like a reference that you
Speaker 4: were gay when I was a kid. That was almost
Speaker 4: like you never got your left earpiece. You've got earp
Speaker 4: had to be both.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Did we talk about this, because I mean and he
Speaker 4: were just like I never heard of that, and I
Speaker 4: was like, oh no, I had talked about it.
Speaker 3: Somebody.
Speaker 4: Maybe I was talking to you, I think yeah, because
Speaker 4: because it was always like I was always like, you've
Speaker 4: got to have it in a specific ear because otherwise
Speaker 4: it's cod that That's That's how I felt in the nineties.
Speaker 4: Any when I was a kid, It's like you have
Speaker 4: to get the right ear piers because from mid to
Speaker 4: late nineties, and The Simpsons did a joke about it
Speaker 4: with the Simpson Tired episode where he goes into the
Speaker 4: in the nuclear sub and barkeets his ear pissed or
Speaker 4: the boy don't make were getting newar pissed, and I
Speaker 4: was like, Dad's.
Speaker 3: Like, you're not going to go fucking near pissed. And
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't want my ear pissed. Have
Speaker 3: you ever had your ear I never wanted to. I
Speaker 3: had one, so I had it like in the nineties,
Speaker 3: I had one like ear pierced, and I'm very big
Speaker 3: on symmetry. I don't like having so you have to
Speaker 3: have two pretty much. Yeah, And after like like a
Speaker 3: few days of having this thing, and it's like, I
Speaker 3: don't think this is me and it doesn't feel right.
Speaker 4: I've seen a guy get a nose ring ripped out
Speaker 4: of his nose. His dad it was brutal. His dad
Speaker 4: came home with a nose ring and his dad just
Speaker 4: yanked out of his nose. It's fucking intense, man.
Speaker 3: Imagine so fun fact. I'm going to just get away
Speaker 3: from that because it's really disturbing. I don't know if
Speaker 3: this is correct, but it makes sense. Do you know why?
Speaker 3: You know you had sailors who always had an ear ring? Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know why that was the case if they were
Speaker 3: if they died away from home, the gold in the
Speaker 3: ear rings could be used to fund their burial.
Speaker 4: Really yeah, yeah, so they have to have really expensive earrings.
Speaker 3: Wellthough usually like gold or something.
Speaker 4: Well, you wouldn't it be always panicking about like losing
Speaker 4: your ear ring. It's well, we'll lose my earring. How
Speaker 4: are we gonna get home if I die? Because that's
Speaker 4: not you don't really care if you're dead.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think it's just more like you're not going
Speaker 3: to throw them in the ditch. You might actually dig me.
Speaker 3: I could be wrong, but that's something I heard and
Speaker 3: I thought that scans that makes sense.
Speaker 4: That's one of those one of those facts was like
Speaker 4: it could check out. To clarify whether it actually does
Speaker 4: check out, I'm just going to say, yeah, that's yeah,
Speaker 4: that makes sense. I'm going to use as any don'tor
Speaker 4: parties going forward, and then you know, have no more
Speaker 4: conversations with party is like it gives some of the
Speaker 4: story about the earrings.
Speaker 3: How do you invite God?
Speaker 4: But yeah, So basically Marge's having her her little moment
Speaker 4: with her her alone type pirate. Yea, Lisa blows her sex.
Speaker 4: She means sex, and she says she's auditioningly for first
Speaker 4: chair in the in the band. She needs a practice,
Speaker 4: but she can't do it inside. She just to do
Speaker 4: it outside. This is where the flannder is here, and
Speaker 4: I think it's Gabriel's trumpet.
Speaker 3: It's Judgment Day.
Speaker 4: That's one of the more common or more quoted Roden
Speaker 4: todd Ones moments. Yeay, Judgment Day. I couldn't have told
Speaker 4: you which episode it was from.
Speaker 3: Okay, whenever I think of them just being happy about
Speaker 3: death all that kind of thing, like not even that,
Speaker 3: but just godly stuff, godly phenomena who prayed for giant shoes?
Speaker 3: I did. Really, that's what you pray? You got him
Speaker 3: so good.
Speaker 4: For you went out school and Ralph asked Lisa for
Speaker 4: an answer on the on the test and Lisa, we
Speaker 4: give it to him. It's like, Lisa, I know you're
Speaker 4: technically right, but just kill my Throw a dog a bone?
Speaker 3: What are you doing? Well? Throw a catabone?
Speaker 6: Now here's an oral extra credit question. What was Christopher
Speaker 6: Columbus actually looking for when he discovered America? Oh, anyone
Speaker 6: besides Lisa for a change, Ralph, this better not be
Speaker 6: about your cat.
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Oh all right, Columbus was looking for a passage to India.
Speaker 6: Oh, correct, Alison, and on your very first day on
Speaker 6: our class, and during.
Speaker 2: A subsequent voyage, Columbus found what is now the continent
Speaker 2: of South America.
Speaker 6: Yaoie, I never made.
Speaker 4: Miss yooie, establishing already what three minutes in we have
Speaker 4: a rival?
Speaker 3: Correct?
Speaker 4: Yes, Lisa goes over and introduces herself. She reveals that
Speaker 4: she's only seven years old. Now, I also not gonna
Speaker 4: lie this episode here. For some reason, my brain always
Speaker 4: assumed she was a new kid, new to Springfield. But no,
Speaker 4: she's always been at the school. She was just a
Speaker 4: year below.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but because Lisa's in grade two, so she skipped
Speaker 4: grade one. I was like, ah, so she's just okay,
Speaker 4: it makes sense. Why she that I guess.
Speaker 3: Wow, it's like the writer's actually thought about it but
Speaker 3: has always seen the new kid. But no, she's just
Speaker 3: a nerd.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like Lisa, and she's been skipped a grade. So
Speaker 4: Lisa hyperventilates here, hypervent no no, no, none.
Speaker 3: R all.
Speaker 4: But she's she's surprised that, Lisa, I'm surprised you haven't
Speaker 4: been skipped as well. You're so smart and yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: all my best friends here. The boys push her over, and.
Speaker 3: She's gonna be questions. Who pushed her over? Was the
Speaker 3: someone that we know? No? No, but they said her name?
Speaker 3: Oh no, what was was Sarah? Sarah? Okay?
Speaker 4: And it's funny how they just established these like bullies.
Speaker 4: They give him a name. It's like, but they're not
Speaker 4: a character.
Speaker 3: No, bullies have become characters in well flesh out, Yeah,
Speaker 3: isn't that. But yeah, the girl girl, I mean, you
Speaker 3: just want to get terry and cherry. But they're bitchy,
Speaker 3: aren't they. Yeah, they're not really bullied so much as
Speaker 3: more just like my games.
Speaker 4: This is getting married a can you're a bull van University?
Speaker 4: But she says that she's also going for first chair
Speaker 4: and just the whole me too, Me too. I think
Speaker 4: we're gonna be the best of friends. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 4: To have established the rival. But is now driving home
Speaker 4: with Homer? You actually doing with the driving because he
Speaker 4: was ending a pizza eating whilest driving. It's not as
Speaker 4: easy as you would say, as.
Speaker 3: You would think that was why burgers were invented. Why
Speaker 3: is that? Well? On one hand, I guess yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean are you are you what? You got chips?
Speaker 4: Chips in the console, chips in between your legs, chips
Speaker 4: and the console console.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I know. I had a great sort of
Speaker 3: setup when when my friend Anthony and I would go
Speaker 3: to Melbourne when we were both reviewing movie. I think
Speaker 3: you've told this story. Yeah, we'd always stop at the
Speaker 3: the Now Now Gone. They were the best time. There
Speaker 3: were KFCs on either side of the West Gate, Dave
Speaker 3: to the RKFC on the way there and on the
Speaker 3: way home, get it coming and going. I don't even care.
Speaker 3: We loved it. Don't tell that I want to go
Speaker 3: to Melbourne. But we yeah, go to screening, stop off
Speaker 3: either get some lunch or some dinner. And it was
Speaker 3: the old fashioned KFC too. It was too so I
Speaker 3: have the setup. So I was like, okay, well, just
Speaker 3: as I'm pulling out, I'm gonna have the burger iun
Speaker 3: wrapped in my lap, the chips and the console, the
Speaker 3: drink and the console. Anthony's not driving, so we can
Speaker 3: hold all this stuff. It's my car. I get the console,
Speaker 3: like I got this sorted. Yeah, never really never spilled
Speaker 3: anything or anything like that, although yeah, every once in
Speaker 3: a while you get home, like, no, there's a chip
Speaker 3: on the ground. Is it still good? It's just a little,
Speaker 3: it's just had my feet near. It's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 4: I always struggle though, when I've got food on my lap,
Speaker 4: the balance, especially when you're trying to turn the corner
Speaker 4: and the wheel sort of like boopsie and the wheel
Speaker 4: sort of like touch it because sometimes it might drink.
Speaker 4: I'll put the drink between because the kids have their drinks.
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, I've got a way to put mine,
Speaker 4: So put my mine between my legs and I'm turning
Speaker 4: the wheel. I'm like, what are we gonna do here?
Speaker 3: Having said that, I would never pull a home, I'd
Speaker 3: never eat a pizza while I was driving. It's a
Speaker 3: bit outlandishes. That's a bit much.
Speaker 4: But if you buy a pizza, though, I always did
Speaker 4: a pizza on the way home. Do you do you
Speaker 4: wait to get home? You wait to get home?
Speaker 3: Why do you get I can't do it. I haven't
Speaker 3: at least have a bite.
Speaker 4: I'm like, because is there anything better than freshly off
Speaker 4: out of the oven pizzas By the time you get
Speaker 4: home it's a little bit cool. We might have to
Speaker 4: reheat a little bit, I like, idiot, when it's hot
Speaker 4: from the shop.
Speaker 3: The flavors have found the seep in though, and also
Speaker 3: that tingle of anticipation, Like jacqu said.
Speaker 4: Give a shout out to your pizza placet what's on zozos?
Speaker 3: Yeah, friend of the pod. Yes, although I mean, I'm
Speaker 3: trying to not eat pizza as much because it's it's
Speaker 3: all garbs. But it's so delicious though, and it's not
Speaker 3: deep fried. At least that's true. That's true. A pizza for.
Speaker 4: Lunch, we're having I'm having pizza for dinner. C it's
Speaker 4: Nicholas birthday.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Where do you get it from? Attitude? Uh no, so

Speaker 4: go to our pals. It would have from pizza friend
Speaker 4: of the dinner on the front of pot.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: And there's a place Donny Bok Road near my parents place.
Speaker 4: They've got an old they're like the old school. Big
Speaker 4: Mom has been there for like thirty years. She's still
Speaker 4: working there. She's out the back making the day. And

Speaker 4: the car. Dear cat or cat deer.
Speaker 3: Oh man.
Speaker 4: They used to do this occasionally. Grandpa wasn't working for
Speaker 4: the episode, but he'd just be like, you know, the
Speaker 4: turtle would get his teeth, or he'd be like the
Speaker 4: old man's proof of files and things like that, and
Speaker 4: they Mum was jackknifed his sugar truck, so he give
Speaker 4: him a quarter to go call for help.
Speaker 3: Only the sugar was sweet as you, sir, Yes we can.
Speaker 4: Beverly Hill Billy's reference here, Why God Texas Tea sweetener.

Speaker 4: just there yawning away, which I thought was a nice
Speaker 4: little bit of detail, because you know, teachers do these things,
Speaker 4: and now that Elliot's at school, I see the teacher.
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking, I know, you can't be fun to
Speaker 4: doing this.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but it's just part of the thing. When
Speaker 3: you're growing up, you think, oh wow, they must be
Speaker 3: so happy to be here and so charged to teach us,
Speaker 3: and you know, dialed in every second. It's like any
Speaker 3: nine to five job or nine to three job or
Speaker 3: whatever they've got. It's like, I can't wait for this
Speaker 3: to be over.
Speaker 4: Because Elliott did swinging lessons last week, right, that's how
Speaker 4: they do it now. School school swiming lessons used to
Speaker 4: be once a week. You'd go down on a Friday
Speaker 4: or whatever. Do you swing lessons? Now it's they booked
Speaker 4: the pull out for the week and the school dismash
Speaker 4: that's Monday to Friday, and have had better results. Right, So,
Speaker 4: because kids now doing it every single day, build their
Speaker 4: confidence uping and it's worked.
Speaker 3: Valley.
Speaker 4: He now put his head into the water, huge milestone
Speaker 4: for Alliot would never put his hand under the water. Well, anyway,
Speaker 4: so he gets back on Friday. I was like, what
Speaker 4: would you do after you got back from simulasons? He goes,
Speaker 4: we watched Finding Nemo. I was like, the whole movie.
Speaker 4: I'll just bit. He goes the whole movie and then
Speaker 4: Nicholas kind of like, I'm nice to see the learning
Speaker 4: and I was just like, you know what, these teachers
Speaker 4: have it hard. We struggled to have Alliot I hope
Speaker 4: for three hours over the teacher and those were the
Speaker 4: best days.
Speaker 3: Went oh yeah, so everybody win.
Speaker 4: Back in back in the nineties, maybe even in the eighties,
Speaker 4: the teacher would wheel in the TV absolutely, today is
Speaker 4: going to be a good day.
Speaker 3: Oh, everybody's seen the meme of like, yeah, when when
Speaker 3: the av unit is being rolled in, it's like, oh,
Speaker 3: you know, you're in for a good day. Teachers are
Speaker 3: probably going off the starf from having a dart. We
Speaker 3: don't care. It's like when we get in the movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they knew that the kids were singing and
Speaker 4: these kids were working about It's.
Speaker 3: Like whatever, whatever, this is not going to be on
Speaker 3: the test exactly right.
Speaker 4: Good times, yes, but had their sacks off. I really
Speaker 4: I never usually enjoyed this moment when I was younger,
Speaker 4: I enjoyed it. Here, So the bait and switch, Lisa
Speaker 4: waking up thinking it's a dream. Oh, and she goes
Speaker 4: and then she falls asleep. This says not a dream.
Speaker 4: I always just thought it was stupid, but I like
Speaker 4: it now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, no, it's well directed, I think as well, because
Speaker 4: you think the first is going to be a commercial break, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's not.
Speaker 3: But also just the sacks off between the two of them, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: this is one put together the world.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, and clearly it's pitched this episode. The way
Speaker 4: it's sort of Lisa's position is that she's the bag.
Speaker 4: She's always competing. Allison was competing here too, Yeah, both
Speaker 4: at each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well it's I always say it was like, you know,
Speaker 3: some of the people you dislike the most people who
Speaker 3: are like you the most. Yeah, And it's funny.
Speaker 4: We had a couple of kids, one kid in particular,
Speaker 4: who skipped up to our class in primary school. And
Speaker 4: those two kids, one in particular, did have that aura
Speaker 4: of like, mister Taylor, of I know you think you're
Speaker 4: better than me because you skipped a class. But by
Speaker 4: the time they were like out in the sky a
Speaker 4: yard is like, let's play sports. No, he's bigger than
Speaker 4: you me. But they would always have that little sense
Speaker 4: of arrogance too, And I feel like you get that
Speaker 4: with Alison here a little bit. She seems lovely, but
Speaker 4: as we see this moment, she also wants to win.
Speaker 3: Oh of course, yeah. I mean someone with the room
Speaker 3: full of trophies like she's got. Yeah, it's clearly got
Speaker 3: to have some got to have some dog in them.
Speaker 4: And they never really talk about it in the episode.
Speaker 4: It's not really part of the story. But do you
Speaker 4: think they could have included the element of mister Taylor
Speaker 4: pressuring Allison or do you think I'm going to have
Speaker 4: been too much?
Speaker 3: I think it would have been a bit much. I
Speaker 3: think this episode has enough ill as it is. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, this episode is well written enough and well
Speaker 3: made enough that you could probably slide it in it
Speaker 3: fairly subtly. But I don't know. I don't think it
Speaker 3: needs it. I don't think it does.
Speaker 4: It doesn't need it. No, no, of course not no.
Speaker 4: But Lisa goes to Mars. She feels so average and
Speaker 4: you're always number one to me, first born's within earshot,
Speaker 4: the number one girl. Then may be disappointed. I relate
Speaker 4: to this because it's just like I'm just trying to
Speaker 4: hear with the child. It's it's not important. But sometimes
Speaker 4: I'll say they'll say, I'll say the kid's time for bed, right,
Speaker 4: and they'll run to bed and hotly jump in the
Speaker 4: bedroom first, and Sugar, I win and it's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, I was like, it doesn't matter. It's not
Speaker 3: a competition. It doesn't matter. Guys want to be doing it.
Speaker 4: But you know, it doesn't matter how good you are,
Speaker 4: They'll always be someone better than you. That's actually good advice.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, don't worry. You're never gonna be the
Speaker 4: best at anything.
Speaker 3: And even the best in the world sort of constantly
Speaker 3: either looking over their shoulder or looking at going I've
Speaker 3: got to beat that.
Speaker 4: You might be the best in the world at this moment,
Speaker 4: but they're guarantee is probably someone else in his world
Speaker 4: that's probably better than you, but just don't realize it.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they haven't had the opportunity to get to.
Speaker 3: Where you are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there will always be someone better than you.
Speaker 3: Said. Never one comes to the podcasting and you know she's
Speaker 3: more scared of you.
Speaker 4: You're thinking of bears mother so Homer's now doing Daughter
Speaker 4: or Sugar at the Skinner's house. Sometimes they think, I
Speaker 4: think they make skin it a little bit too childish.
Speaker 4: I thought this was one of those moments. I'm a
Speaker 4: big boy, I could do what I want. I'm like,
Speaker 4: we'll do without that, But he gets grounded.

Speaker 4: help and Lisa, I can't help you either, leave me alone.
Speaker 4: Lisa sees Alison being bullied, She's like, oh, that used
Speaker 4: to be my face in the mud, and Bark gets
Speaker 4: the idea, the robber spider idea. Here. This moment just
Speaker 4: kind of yeah, a bit silly. I guess they're just
Speaker 4: trying to make him out like he's a bit imature. Anyway,
Speaker 4: he offers to dig up dirt on Alison for Lisa,
Speaker 4: and he says it's kind of like how I got
Speaker 4: the millhouse on America's Most Wanted. Yeah, and they chasing
Speaker 4: him through the yard, just setting up the big fugitive
Speaker 4: moment in a few scenes. Then he gives I like
Speaker 4: this though, So I guess that firste that Robber Spider
Speaker 4: was a setup for this punchline here.
Speaker 3: That's true's And also I think it's not as funny
Speaker 3: as when say Homer, as I said earlier, when he's
Speaker 3: messed up or whatever, but being kind of ooh yes
Speaker 3: and being kind of sophisticated with it or whatever. But
Speaker 3: when Bart is like being kind of grown up in
Speaker 3: his silly pranks and thinking, oh, note to myself, do this,
Speaker 3: do this. I get where you're coming from, and it's
Speaker 3: sort of like a connection to the way Homer does things.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't really like it as much.
Speaker 1: And you didn't think i'd make any money. I found
Speaker 1: a dollar while I was waiting for the bus.
Speaker 3: While you were out earning that dollar, you lost forty
Speaker 3: dollars by not going to work.
Speaker 1: The plant called and said, if you don't come in tomorrow,
Speaker 1: don't bother coming in.
Speaker 3: Monday for day weekend classic.
Speaker 4: You know what's good about it? Acknowledging that he still
Speaker 4: does have a job. That's true, yes, because now it's
Speaker 4: just hope he's got a new job this week. No
Speaker 4: reference to the power plan at all doesn't matter anymore
Speaker 4: in season nineteen. But Lisa's now looking at all of
Speaker 4: her awards and she just know it. There's no Shaman
Speaker 4: being second Q. What's the band called?
Speaker 3: I forgot what the name of the band was called.
Speaker 4: But there's their number two hit. Yeah, but why.
Speaker 3: Will they come to Bullis? But yeah, as we said before,
Speaker 3: it's yeah Garf. I like the idea of Garfuncle being
Speaker 3: sort of lesser to Simon. I mean, everybody likes Paul Simon,
Speaker 3: of course, but garnbg was pretty good, lovely voice. I
Speaker 3: guess maybe he didn't contribute as much. Maybe. Yeah, Also
Speaker 3: is that these are the second in the in the naming,
Speaker 3: like both Simon and garfungle logs, and maybe that's the joke, yeah,
Speaker 3: as opposed to them being sort of lesser. Yeah, it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, Dan Owen guy. He keeps calling it, keeps
Speaker 3: on called guy and Dan I keep saying, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: it's Daniel. But I got born to runner up. It's
Speaker 3: actually that's that's pretty clever that I get the feeling
Speaker 3: that's the sort of not the that was the germ
Speaker 3: of the joke, and they reverse engineered it from that.
Speaker 4: I feel like, of these moments here, it's like they
Speaker 4: made the punchline then found there. Yeah, but but has
Speaker 4: found nothing on Alison. There's nothing that sort of no
Speaker 4: dirt to dish up. But he's tipped the feds US
Speaker 4: through wear mealhouses and we get the ug can.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I didn't do anything.
Speaker 3: I don't care.
Speaker 4: One of the greatest meme setups of all time. He
Speaker 4: can just for anything.
Speaker 3: Was that just one of the great movie moments as
Speaker 3: far as I'm concerned. That's fair. I remember seeing the
Speaker 3: Future in the cinema and.
Speaker 4: One of your favorite films, isn't it It's really good?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh yeah, you always say it's always it. It's good.
Speaker 3: The Fugitive No One's you can't really say anymore, would
Speaker 3: stream or anything like that, But you know it's like
Speaker 3: when it was on the on the TV like Sunday
Speaker 3: Night of the Movies.
Speaker 4: No one's pot on the Fugitives. It looks like we're
Speaker 4: watching the Fugitive. For me, it was Connair. When I
Speaker 4: was a kid, I was like, if Connor is on,
Speaker 4: I am not I'm dropping my plans. Hey baby, no date?
Speaker 4: Watch yesterday, Nikola, Oh fantastic.
Speaker 3: We had a birthday? Did a plan to cancel it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: But I remember seeing in the cinema and just that
Speaker 3: bit when I didn't kill my wife. I don't care,
Speaker 3: Holy mol that was on the table. He didn't care.
Speaker 4: So Lisa says, I need to stop being so petty.
Speaker 4: She is a wonderful person. And as Bart says, you know,
Speaker 4: who compete? Why compete with someone who's going to kick you.
Speaker 4: But anyway, then she goes to Allison's house and Professor
Speaker 4: Taylor's there. Glad someone's here who can joins for an
Speaker 4: anagram game?
Speaker 3: Not fun at all? Not fun.
Speaker 4: No, It's like when you go to a trivia night.
Speaker 4: The questions are too hard, Like I didn't come here
Speaker 4: to feel stupid.
Speaker 3: No, no, I came here to boast my house. Smart
Speaker 3: I am. I'll take the old l but I need
Speaker 3: more ws.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I tried to think of something for
Speaker 4: Jomy's on. I spent about three seconds. I couldn't think
Speaker 4: of anything.
Speaker 3: Oh god, no, no, I mean Jomy's a yeah, you
Speaker 3: and I'm not dumb people coming up with anagrams in
Speaker 3: your head. It's like, no, no, I need a piece
Speaker 3: of paper and a couple of hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look good, But Ali Ginnison genuine class works.
Speaker 3: That does work. Yeah, yes, I like to.
Speaker 4: Think too, Nah, because I don't think Alison has many friends,
Speaker 4: if at all. So it's just imagine if like Professor
Speaker 4: Taylor and Allison had this little setup where it's like,
Speaker 4: i'll say, a Guinness.
Speaker 3: I was thinking the exact same thing to make you
Speaker 3: seem smarter than her. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 3: I'm watching this is a this is a setup. I'm
Speaker 3: glad we were thinking that exact same thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, they told you he's a bad guy. He's a monster.
Speaker 3: He's the heel of this episode. I love you is
Speaker 3: a good guy. He's a monster, He's a heel. Lisa
Speaker 3: gets there, Lisa's coming over.
Speaker 4: She's she's my rival. She thinks she's gonna get my
Speaker 4: first chair, I beat her at that. I'm gonna bring
Speaker 4: it in a few peaks, all right, I'll ask you
Speaker 4: al Guinness then scam anagram, scam.
Speaker 3: Like it. I like it.
Speaker 4: That's very good for a first try.
Speaker 3: I have the ball.
Speaker 4: Perhaps you'd like to bounce it, and perhaps as well.
Speaker 3: You're patronizing prick, But it's like takebacks on the nice
Speaker 3: things I said about you.
Speaker 4: Perhaps you'd like to bounce it. Then she shows off
Speaker 4: her awards room and she's made the diorama of the
Speaker 4: Telltale Heart from ad gall and Poe. It's weeks before
Speaker 4: the diorama rama. So does that mean like weeks of
Speaker 4: transpire we're doing the sugar because Lisa is weeks before
Speaker 4: the diarramaama. And then we get to the dioramaama. So
Speaker 4: Homan is not working for weeks.
Speaker 3: You're really hung up on home and not going to work.
Speaker 3: That's how you always bring up how long was he
Speaker 3: doing the sugar scheme for? But I don't know.
Speaker 4: But she drops the ball and it's on the foot,
Speaker 4: got away from you. Huh, that was actually had it?
Speaker 3: We come back.
Speaker 4: Homer is asleep by by Strigar, by his sugar, and
Speaker 4: the strong must protect the sweet in America.
Speaker 1: First you'll get the sugar, then you'll get the power,
Speaker 1: then you'll get the women.
Speaker 4: This is one of the most iconic Homer moments, right.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, in between that I've written down and I
Speaker 3: do it again.
Speaker 4: I don't know who that's the guy who stuffs the Englishman.
Speaker 4: That's it speak, he says, I'm paranoid. She's like, just
Speaker 4: been parallel. You know why? That was great? You dropped
Speaker 4: your guard for just a second. Do it again.
Speaker 3: Such a random moment. But yeah, I'm sorry didn't put
Speaker 3: that in my favorites because I thought that was hilarious.
Speaker 3: And I do it again.
Speaker 4: Good days off one of the things. Why did Americans
Speaker 4: think that English people saying good day? I've been England
Speaker 4: numerous times.
Speaker 3: I know you've taken it. You've taken issue with representations
Speaker 3: of englishness, yes, or just like you know, shrimp on
Speaker 3: the barbie. Yeah, we don't say shrimp, and we don't
Speaker 3: even put him on at be mined but not really
Speaker 3: seafood in my steaks. What are you doing? I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't eat shellfish or anything like that. I've got
Speaker 3: a mild allergies. And plus even just looking at him
Speaker 3: like no oyster is not appealing to no, no, none
Speaker 3: of it. Fish is just generally not an appealing meal. Nah.
Speaker 3: I mean, if it's a nice filet, it's like, oh
Speaker 3: that looks pretty good. They a nice piece of salmon,
Speaker 3: or a nice a good bit of FLA good bit
Speaker 3: of flake, can't go wrong.
Speaker 4: But shark FYI, Oh yeah, Nikola, I have an English face.
Speaker 3: She come with it.
Speaker 4: She was like, goes to the fish and chip shop
Speaker 4: and goes, can I have a piece of shark and
Speaker 4: everyone shops like, don't cause sharks so weird.
Speaker 3: But I mean looking at like, oh no, I'm looking
Speaker 3: at a prawn or a shrimp. It's like I don't
Speaker 3: want to eat that. It's her eyes. Yeah, bet that's
Speaker 3: the Beaties. Or even a crab or a lobster. It's like, no,
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I was gonna ask if you
Speaker 3: were head surf and turf. No. No, see that just
Speaker 3: doesn't seem appealing to me either. No, that's that's fucking
Speaker 3: a boover good steak.
Speaker 4: But it's just like Nicholas sometimes cooks like salmon in
Speaker 4: the oven. Right, I'll get home and there's this salmon
Speaker 4: just threat the house, and I'm just.
Speaker 3: Like it smells like seven, we're gonna have to.
Speaker 4: Buy a new house again, Nicko. But he goes on
Speaker 4: his rand here because he can't live the button down life.
Speaker 3: I know he wants the terrifying hoe, terrifying low, terrifying
Speaker 3: hose as well, well, Guy Davis, terrifying hose, which would
Speaker 3: have made me seventeen. Sorry, sorry, ladies, go around terrifying nose,
Speaker 3: h terrifying Low's dizney Hires, creamy middles.
Speaker 4: Creamy sent You always see creamy centers, Yeah, you go
Speaker 4: with it, biscuits. Creamy center sounds better. It's the even
Speaker 4: though it's doesn't. It's it's pronounced diferently. It's deliteration. Creamy senters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it would make more sense for Homan to
Speaker 3: say this, given that he probably enjoys a creamy biscuit.
Speaker 3: He probably enjoys an oreo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but sure, I'll live to be the Dahi of
Speaker 4: the so called city fathers who clucked their tongues, shook
Speaker 4: their beards and talking about what's to be done with
Speaker 4: this horm with Simpson, but just get rid of the sugar.
Speaker 4: And that's when the bees arrived themselves.
Speaker 3: That was great. I'm defending themselves somehow.
Speaker 4: Who would have thought you get so many great moments
Speaker 4: out of Homer with a pile of sugar.
Speaker 3: I know, but Lisa is now handcrafted.
Speaker 4: Because she's obsessed to be beating Allison. Handcrafted all seventy
Speaker 4: five characters of Oliver twists and then unfortunately though, it
Speaker 4: blows away with the bitter snowstorm. Is it okay? The
Speaker 4: important thing is we survived. As a Bart suggests, well,
Speaker 4: you think it suggest sabotage, but it's not. If the
Speaker 4: joke is you suggest just hosing your name with the host,
Speaker 4: Lisa's like, what a bit of sabotage that could work
Speaker 4: as well? So the bee keepers here, we get there.
Speaker 4: As we discussed, it's quiet quiet. I can see why
Speaker 4: you were thought it was Shatner. Yeah, but it's also
Speaker 4: very Adam West.
Speaker 3: It's almost a bit sort of.
Speaker 4: Shedding delivery with Adam West.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also a little zab Branigan and Kiff. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it is very much that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you know what I mean, I'm afraid I don't.
Speaker 3: To the big veal you.
Speaker 4: Mean, but that's just it's just the Simpson. You die, Bollyicle,
Speaker 4: you die Barley. I'm a whate now, and they offer
Speaker 4: him two thousand dollars to get the get the hord
Speaker 4: back whatever. What's a group of bees called swarm? Swarm
Speaker 4: swarm back? Yes, and the restarts hold on. The bees
Speaker 4: are going away, so they walk off. It's melting.
Speaker 3: It's melting.
Speaker 4: Reference Oh what the world? And as Homer says, mountain
Speaker 4: of sugar is too much for one man. That's why
Speaker 4: they always give it to us. And there's little packets.
Speaker 4: Now it's dire rama rama day. And the first thing
Speaker 4: we see is the wrath.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's very good. Wrath, Yes, yes, very good. Wrath. Utah.
Speaker 3: I beg you, I love that? So good is it?
Speaker 3: I beg you to look at He's second, You're fat ship.
Speaker 4: He shows him restrained, but then brings in an e
Speaker 4: fake and creates a diversion.
Speaker 3: Turn this weight right now, Barton, he's doing stuff. I
Speaker 3: love that he's doing stuff.
Speaker 4: But also Skinner stop creating a diversion to get out
Speaker 4: of here. But then it's revealed she swapped the dioramas
Speaker 4: and it's just a cow's heart and Skinner really goes
Speaker 4: to town on Allison. It's like he has this random
Speaker 4: it becomes about him, his own life, elementary schools where
Speaker 4: I ended up and it's truly do anything about it now,
Speaker 4: It's like, oh ship, this guy has issues.
Speaker 1: Frankly, I'm starting to regret skipping your head.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I hear something.
Speaker 3: Why here's Allison's real Diama he got misplaced?
Speaker 1: Oh well it changes everything. Let's have a look. Get
Speaker 1: the ribbon roady, Oh little sterile, no real insight. What
Speaker 1: do you think, miss Hoover? This has been a very
Speaker 1: disappointing day, and Lisa Simpson, you're.
Speaker 3: Showing now, Lise back to the way I behave. I
Speaker 3: don't deserve to win.
Speaker 1: Well, this doesn't deserve to win.
Speaker 4: What I love that because in most shows Alison would
Speaker 4: have won.
Speaker 3: Yes, you get a moral lesson out of it. I
Speaker 3: think they're beaten by Package Star Wars figures. That's the
Speaker 3: greatest man.
Speaker 4: They're all here, still in the display box, Luke and
Speaker 4: Chewie my favorite Jewey, they're all here.
Speaker 3: What do you think? I think it's lunchtime.
Speaker 4: Hoover is like, she's so relatable, like makes it super
Speaker 4: sexy too, just like chickens no shits?
Speaker 3: You think? How is this woman not married?
Speaker 4: Ya?
Speaker 3: Come on? Bad pat The day off work. Oh fine,
Speaker 3: I've got this abstinute.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just spend the day then, and they made
Speaker 4: the joke in a lot later season of But when
Speaker 4: he gets older and a few dropsent he sleeps Miss Hoover,
Speaker 4: he already says to her, I know now, I know
Speaker 4: why they call you miss Hoover.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh bye, goodness me cheepers tererevanah holes.
Speaker 4: But they're walking home now, and Lisa says there's no
Speaker 4: showing losing to you, and losing is at the end
Speaker 4: of the world. As Alison says, they're all friends. Can
Speaker 4: we still be friends? I only wear the best of friends, yes,
Speaker 4: which is yeah, I said. I get why they did
Speaker 4: it to wrap up this story. It doesn't make sense
Speaker 4: going forward, but whatever.
Speaker 3: Well it doesn't really end with that though. It ends
Speaker 3: with the yeah, Ralph I beat smart Kids yes, and
Speaker 3: Ralph bending is.
Speaker 4: Wookie yes, and ends with my well, they said come
Speaker 4: home and watch play the Anagram game again. Allison's set
Speaker 4: him up for fail, like you know, he's not gonna
Speaker 4: be able to do it.
Speaker 3: But he's got that real sort of rain man brain
Speaker 3: for it's all that elliot brain where you can handle
Speaker 3: the match on the honestly, so although it was one
Speaker 3: of our funniest bits. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4: So, uh, we're out for breakfast yesterday, right, and Dad's like,
Speaker 4: this is two weeks ago Gelong played for Adelaide right
Speaker 4: in the fire race, right, and Dad's like all this victory.
Speaker 4: Dad's like, how many goals did Geelong kick? I can't remember?
Speaker 4: And Ali goes twenty goals and eight eight points, one
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty eight. I'm like, how the hell did
Speaker 4: you remember that? He's just always got that youthful sponge brain.
Speaker 4: We'll wake up this morning. He's just watching some random
Speaker 4: AFLW game, Like he's just obsessed with football. Today's forty
Speaker 4: day for him. So he's in his footy jumper with
Speaker 4: the number on the back. He's footy shorts, his mouth guarding.
Speaker 3: He loves it. Man.
Speaker 4: Oh is it an absolute element? Yes, but that's it
Speaker 4: of Lisa's rival. That is the end of an amazing
Speaker 4: episode that I one of the ones I'd never given
Speaker 4: up credit.
Speaker 3: It's a good choice by you. You're sort of sprung
Speaker 3: and honest, you know, yes, Well, last when we were
Speaker 3: recording Boping a discount regular edition, I suppose West for you.
