Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 2: Krusty needed a bit, I got a great one thanks
Speaker 2: to my new head writer, Andy Hamilton Bart.
Speaker 3: Thank you for believing I could grow up. My pranking
Speaker 3: days are over for good.
Speaker 4: What's gotten into you? Man, Andrew? I wanted to show
Speaker 4: you something in the makeout room. Makeup room.
Speaker 3: I'll be right there in a minute. Looks like I
Speaker 3: just bought some property on Boner Way.
Speaker 4: So now Andy's a TV writer.
Speaker 1: Loser, no.
Speaker 5: Loser, four finger discount, dude.
Speaker 3: Welcome to full figured discount. With this week, we're going
Speaker 3: to be pulling some pranks. It's prankicing grains. I'm dando,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be pulling some grains. Guy. Yeah, well you
Speaker 3: were eating healthy for a while, and you said you
Speaker 3: sort of straight away a couple of times you've seen
Speaker 3: the devil aka the big m the distance. No, I'm
Speaker 3: not so much m man. Okay, yeah, just bread back
Speaker 3: into bread. But what kind of bread are you eating? Though? Oh?
Speaker 3: The sugary gume like wonder bread, wonder bread, square, wonder bread.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, we go easy on the carves, going,
Speaker 6: he's back on the past on the rice, on the bread.
Speaker 3: But then I realized sandwich I love sandwich, and I
Speaker 3: was not a pad of wholemeal. You can't do it.
Speaker 3: I'm sure a whole meal would probably be bulg me
Speaker 3: up just as much as a plane on a white
Speaker 3: bread board. I think it doesn't that like digest better
Speaker 3: or something wholemeal. B I'm not sure I can conduct
Speaker 3: the experience. It doesn't matter. There's worst things you could
Speaker 3: be eating their bread. That is correct, yes.
Speaker 6: But I think I think I'm still eating relatively healthy.
Speaker 6: I'm not, you know, sort of having late night macas
Speaker 6: binges or anything like that. But I'm not you know,
Speaker 6: I'm not in dando shape.
Speaker 3: I'm more of a bit of bread kind of guy.
Speaker 3: I prefer wraps over sandwiches. Yeah, I think you know
Speaker 3: what it is. I wouldn't say maybe I don't prefer them.
Speaker 3: It's just I've eaten wraps now for so long, since
Speaker 3: I went my footy days. That is, it's just what
Speaker 3: I prefer now. I get where you're coming from. I
Speaker 3: like a nice tutia tortilla. Yeah, they're a bit soft
Speaker 3: for me. I like them a bit more hard. I do.
Speaker 3: Like when you go to my my palas that would
Speaker 3: oven geelong and you have a chicken souvlaki in the
Speaker 3: Turkish bread. Oh, yes, delicious. But Pranks and Greens, you
Speaker 3: discussed with me off the air that you were a
Speaker 3: fan of this episode. You didn't think it was that great,
Speaker 3: didn't think it was terrible. He wasn't great. I didn't
Speaker 3: mind it. But before we get into our review of
Speaker 3: Pranks and Greens, I must say that you know how
Speaker 3: I'm normally Dando, but I'm no longer Dando. What are you?
Speaker 3: I am our pals at Funker, we're referred to as
Speaker 3: battle damaged Dandom, the chased area Dando.
Speaker 6: Do you want to know why I do? Because then
Speaker 6: I have a battle damaged anecdote in.
Speaker 3: My own Oh okay, So last night on the couch,
Speaker 3: Nicola and I were discussing things to get holy for Christmas.
Speaker 3: She's big in too, baby born, she loves baby dollsves
Speaker 3: being a mum. Basically, she wants to bath and blah
Speaker 3: blah blah. And I'm on Toys r US and I'm
Speaker 3: buying the stuff and I said, Nichola'm passing the phone over. Pologies.
Speaker 3: My back's broken. That's not the battle damage. I'm talking
Speaker 3: about battle damage. That where my back's broken. But that's
Speaker 3: because I fell asleep on the catch watching in the
Speaker 3: wrestling paper of you on Saturday night and wake up
Speaker 3: old man Dann. I couldn't move anymore, but I passed
Speaker 3: my phone to Nikolas. She's like, yeah, that's good, drops
Speaker 3: the phone. Unfortunately, our little man crashed. The cat was
Speaker 3: sleeping in the middle, fell on his tail. He flung
Speaker 3: up like a spring claws out, gone on directions seemed
Speaker 3: like ear. Can you see the ear there? Oh, my goodness,
Speaker 3: looked like you're the inside. Yeah, it looks like you
Speaker 3: had like homemade piercing doune. Yeah. He basically grabbed onto
Speaker 3: my ears and sort of like leapt off my head,
Speaker 3: like grabbed into my head and then leapt off but
Speaker 3: ripped my ears at the same time. Instant blood just
Speaker 3: flying everywhere. I don't know. It wasn't the biggest gash,
Speaker 3: but it was just blood everywhere. Something. Well, if it's
Speaker 3: your head, I mean there's a lot of blood going
Speaker 3: through it, he's must have a lot of blood in them.
Speaker 3: So I'm battle damaged. Down down now, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: And I wasn't. I was angry, but I was like,
Speaker 3: don't be angry at him. He was just scared and
Speaker 3: he's a cat. But man, oh man, when the cat
Speaker 3: jumped on my head and used my head as a
Speaker 3: springboard and ripping my ear open, I wasn't happy at all.
Speaker 6: That's wholly understandable to a a cat man, as you know.
Speaker 6: And basically the cat will occasionally jump on the bed
Speaker 6: if I'm lying down there because something. I really was like,
Speaker 6: what a blessing it is to think that your cat
Speaker 6: feels safest.
Speaker 3: When they're around you. It's like, no, that's true.
Speaker 6: It wasn't get on the bed to be near me,
Speaker 6: except jump on the bed and jumped onto my calf.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, this isn't the stable surface I
Speaker 6: was expecting. I better claw into it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not good, terribly painful son cats pranks, but pranks
Speaker 3: and greens. I mean when I said a battle damage
Speaker 3: any I don't really. I was. I was working at
Speaker 3: an establishment picking and packing toys. Was it fun? Actually
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 6: It was because the person on the next bench was
Speaker 6: saying that it was a relative newbie and saying, oh,
Speaker 6: should we send this? You know it looks like the
Speaker 6: characters faces all dirty, and you know, oh, this is
Speaker 6: probably a smudge.
Speaker 3: Whatever I said, No, this is this character is better
Speaker 3: damaged Superman. I go, Superman is better levers. They look
Speaker 3: at me like he does.
Speaker 1: Of shit.
Speaker 3: This is what passes. This is what passes entertainment and
Speaker 3: knowledge that my current establishment. There's two stories to this
Speaker 3: episode basically, and a guest stars our man. This is
Speaker 3: a Throgan No, what's the other guys name? Jonnyhill as
Speaker 3: a prankster who is now nineteen years old hasn't outgrown
Speaker 3: his pranking day. So the story here is basically because
Speaker 3: in this time twenty one of this air twenty ten,
Speaker 3: ish was it when this episode ends? Have a look
Speaker 3: at two thousand and nine. Pranks on YouTube are a
Speaker 3: big thing, people pulling pranks and just being an overall
Speaker 3: nuisance to society. You know, it won't the fun pranks
Speaker 3: where it's just you know, pretending to fart and what
Speaker 3: it was like doing genuine pranks that ruin things and
Speaker 3: like genuinely just ruin someone's day and just just for
Speaker 3: views on YouTube. So that's what one story here is.
Speaker 3: As a prankster who Bart now looks up to because
Speaker 3: Bart pools a prank and Skinner says, no, there was
Speaker 3: one who was better than you. But then idolizes this
Speaker 3: guy who's a prankster and then tries to get his
Speaker 3: life back on track and he realizes, you know what,
Speaker 3: this isn't the right part to be going down. Clearly
Speaker 3: the writers have been pranked in the past, and they
Speaker 3: weren't fans of pranksters. The other story is something that
Speaker 3: I can relate to, maybe even yourself, but other mothers
Speaker 3: judging you for what you feed your kids, right, and
Speaker 3: the mantra of you've got to feed your kids the
Speaker 3: most healthiest shit, got to really look out for them
Speaker 3: when at the end of the day, you know what,
Speaker 3: just meeting vegs do'll be fine. Doesn't have to be
Speaker 3: organic this and fucking all that other stuff. I feel
Speaker 3: like that story now is just as relevant now as
Speaker 3: probably wasn't two thousand and nine, maybe just because I'm
Speaker 3: my father now and I've experienced this where they go, oh,
Speaker 3: now we don't feed our kids that. Now they're not
Speaker 3: having that colored cordial and that kind of thing. I'm like, sure, whatever,
Speaker 3: that's fine, but our kids are and they're perfectly fine.
Speaker 3: Have you seen Elliot Bowler cricket ball? He's fine. But
Speaker 3: so the other story is that Marge is being judged
Speaker 3: by other fellow Midday Mummies go to Miday Mummies group
Speaker 3: like a mother's group who want to feed their kids
Speaker 3: nothing but healthy food, and Marge is just a normal mother,
Speaker 3: feeding normal snacks and treats as most normal people do.
Speaker 3: And I thought that story in particular to me, made
Speaker 3: this feel like classic Simpsons, because classic Simps what they
Speaker 3: did best was they might try to change to appear
Speaker 3: better in the ideology of society in that time, right
Speaker 3: or so, for example, here the midday Mummies, but by
Speaker 3: the end of the episode, they're like, you know, what's good,
Speaker 3: just being fucking normal. And it's reminded me of scenes
Speaker 3: of Class Struggle where Marge was trying to impress these people.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day they went to Chusteberger
Speaker 3: for dinner. I get where you're coming from.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it did strike me that they were sort of
Speaker 6: erring on weird extremes of this, of this particular argument,
Speaker 6: in that the second the Midday Mummies were really going
Speaker 6: all out on Yeah, let's be completely organic, you know,
Speaker 6: let's to quote the scenes from the Class Struggle, Yeah,
Speaker 6: let's import our stakes through the New York or something
Speaker 6: like that, or you know, let's get the most high
Speaker 6: and expensive stuff, but the most organic and quite unquote
Speaker 6: best for us.
Speaker 3: Have you been to a mother's group? I never, It
Speaker 3: ain't that far fetched, my friend. Oh okay, I mean,
Speaker 3: obviously they've really blended up for comedic reasons, but I've
Speaker 3: had genuine experiences where it has to be from what's
Speaker 3: the place on packing issues, A whole is Geelong. Everything's
Speaker 3: organic and it's homegrown, locally grown and all this other stuff. Basically,
Speaker 3: if it's not grown in the Geelong region, we don't
Speaker 3: feed it to our children. I've I've heard that before.
Speaker 3: Okay then, and I know they're playing it up here
Speaker 3: a lot, but you know, you go to various places
Speaker 3: and it's soy this and soy that and organic this.
Speaker 3: I just I love those buzzwords of organic. And you know,
Speaker 3: you get to a restaurant now nothing. You to a
Speaker 3: restaurant now, even a pub, and they can't just say
Speaker 3: it's a parmy. It's just chicken breast with napoli, sauce
Speaker 3: and cheese. It's got to be homegrown crumbed chicken snitzel.
Speaker 3: Fucking blah blah blah. It's gonna have all these buzzwords
Speaker 3: in front of it. It's just the way we are now.
Speaker 6: Well yeah, I mean I figure, if you're going out
Speaker 6: and you're paying top dollar, which you know you shouldn't
Speaker 6: shout no no, but yeah, you might as well gussy
Speaker 6: it up with all these fancy terms, which in the
Speaker 6: end is are really just window dressing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, you're probably getting the same yeah chicken parmi
Speaker 6: that you were, but now it's.
Speaker 3: With a few buzzwords. Okay.
Speaker 6: I was talking about that end of the spectrum where
Speaker 6: it's going like, oh, okay, you guys are going a
Speaker 6: bit over the top with the goods starf that you're
Speaker 6: feeding your kids. But it seemed like Marge, Yeah, when
Speaker 6: she said fire to that stuff or that pile of snacks,
Speaker 6: and yeah, it's like it doesn't look all that good
Speaker 6: for you either. I mean, it kind of looked like
Speaker 6: she's got the worst junk food. It seemed to me
Speaker 6: like there was a lot of unfulfilled potential in this episode.
Speaker 6: The sign of a SOSO episode, I've said this in
Speaker 6: the past is when you start thinking about ways you
Speaker 6: could improve it. And I'm no fucking expert, but I
Speaker 6: was like, here's how I would have done this. Now,
Speaker 6: we fix episodes all the time, but I don't know,
Speaker 6: I sort of would have got a like I would
Speaker 6: have taken like a bit of an invasion the body
Speaker 6: snatches approach. When it came to the Monday Mummies group,
Speaker 6: like one person's out saying, oh, I mean no, I
Speaker 6: know they've got time constraints and all that, but have
Speaker 6: one mother saying oh, but I'm feeding so and so this,
Speaker 6: and yeah, say it's the alpha mum in the group, not.
Speaker 3: March, and Julius seem to be the yeah yeah, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 6: Not a bad idea, And then next time you see them,
Speaker 6: two more have done that, and by the end they're
Speaker 6: all sort of turned on March. Now merely that's probably
Speaker 6: a full episode itself, not so much a bet plot,
Speaker 6: but it seemed.
Speaker 3: Like, so you reckon it. Have don't have them all
Speaker 3: be so anti much. Have one be sort of health freak,
Speaker 3: and the other ones go, oh, she followed it. And
Speaker 3: then by the end there's a balance in between I
Speaker 3: think so yeah, yeah, yeah uh. And and certainly when
Speaker 3: it came to the a plot about the pranksters, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Andy Hamilton. Andy Hamilton lay by Jona Hill played by
Speaker 3: Jonah Hill. I don't know.
Speaker 6: It struck me like, I like the core idea that yeah,
Speaker 6: he was a kid, a prankster, he peaked in high
Speaker 6: school essentially, and now he's just, you know, he's still
Speaker 6: doing pranks. But it's like it's a little unbecoming now
Speaker 6: that you're, you know, verging on adulthood and all that
Speaker 6: kind of stuff, and but trying to help him find
Speaker 6: his way. I know, it just didn't feel fully explored.
Speaker 3: And fleshed out. To me.
Speaker 6: It felt like everyone was sort of paying lip service
Speaker 6: to the idea. And I wasn't a fan of Lisa
Speaker 6: in this episode. Maybe I just felt seen, you know,
Speaker 6: sort off, but all her loser stuff, it just felt
Speaker 6: very Unleisa to me.
Speaker 3: I know that she feel Unleisa, but it also there
Speaker 3: was a line in the episode where March is sometimes
Speaker 3: it's important that we have our faults pointed out to us,
Speaker 3: and Lisa didn't go about it in the nicest way
Speaker 3: by saying loser loser. I think they did that just
Speaker 3: purely for the payoff at the end, which I thought
Speaker 3: was a funny gag with a TV he's now because
Speaker 3: Andy becomes a TV writer, he's now a loser. That's
Speaker 3: just them poking fund it themselves. But the way she
Speaker 3: went about it wasn't correct. But I do think people
Speaker 3: who do that for a living, I mean some do
Speaker 3: it for a living. If you're ruining people's day, I
Speaker 3: don't agree with it. If you ever to make money
Speaker 3: doing something on YouTube, which I think is just pointless.
Speaker 3: People look at something the other day and some guy
Speaker 3: it was on YouTube, right, and it popped up in
Speaker 3: your you may like this, and I was like, I
Speaker 3: don't know why, but it was man takes train from
Speaker 3: Sydney to Melbourne. Is it worth it?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 3: Two hundred thousand views? And I was like, you know what,
Speaker 3: if you can make a living doing this shit, go
Speaker 3: for it. You're not ruined anyone do it right? That
Speaker 3: guy is not a loser, you know, he's just doing
Speaker 3: making content. It's the ones that were being immature. I
Speaker 3: think that's what they put more perking fun act here.
Speaker 6: I guess so yeah, I mean, look this this episode
Speaker 6: is two thousand and nine. It's sort of pre all
Speaker 6: the YouTube snanding is that we're currently seeing, particularly people
Speaker 6: who somewhere.
Speaker 3: It was computely targeting. I thought it was two thousand
Speaker 3: and nine. That was all that YouTube pranks, the coning
Speaker 3: and stuff that was twenty ten. We remember, I don't
Speaker 3: know what's coning again? Oh god, So there's a guy,
Speaker 3: Uckie Stevens was his name. I ended up doing a
Speaker 3: radio show with him. But he started to think where
Speaker 3: he'd go to macas and he'd order an ice cream
Speaker 3: cone and he grab it upside down. Remember planking was
Speaker 3: a thing. Then he mak and then that's where coning
Speaker 3: was formed, and he went viral on YouTube, became like
Speaker 3: a million subscribers on YouTube, those kind of things. That
Speaker 3: was two thousand and two and ten, Like this is
Speaker 3: right in the era of immature, petty, ridiculous. It was
Speaker 3: like it was the evolution of the jackass, the jackass era.
Speaker 3: I was doing stuff with your mates, and it was like,
Speaker 3: oh now we can Now we've got cameras on our phones,
Speaker 3: we can film our stuff and put it on YouTube.
Speaker 3: But he says a line, Andy Hamilton says, here in
Speaker 3: my day the only option was local TV. Where now
Speaker 3: you've got the idea of doing pranks for YouTube.
Speaker 6: Okuess So yeah, look, time has just lost all meaning
Speaker 6: for me. Yeah, I guess I was thinking of more
Speaker 6: of I don't know names really spring to mind, but
Speaker 6: you know people who just annoy people in public and
Speaker 6: for the clicks essentially, you know, sort of going up
Speaker 6: and sort of getting in people's faces while filming it and.
Speaker 3: Or you know that's been happened since then. Man, yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, I get the feeling. If Andy was doing
Speaker 3: something like that at the at the end of this episode,
Speaker 3: if he achieved online fame or YouTube fame by being
Speaker 3: someone who was you know, going from pulling people's pants
Speaker 3: down in public or something like that, and it's like,
Speaker 3: oh my god.
Speaker 6: Look at the cliqus brek up. Then Lisa's justified in
Speaker 6: saying lose. I know, I get holy what you're saying
Speaker 6: about the end. It's the writer's sort of poking fun
Speaker 6: of themselves. This didn't feel Simpsons to me.
Speaker 3: It felt like, again, more of a reaction the sort
Speaker 3: of family guy and the humor at the time. It
Speaker 3: didn't feel like the Simpsons were setting the pace. It
Speaker 3: felt like it was responding to what was going on,
Speaker 3: and not in a way there was like compounding on.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, we've got to compete with this, and
Speaker 3: I don't know, just the whole time of the episode
Speaker 3: just didn't quite sit right with me for some reason.
Speaker 3: Now I'm not saying, oh I hate this, but it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: this doesn't feel the taste is quite not quite therefore interesting.
Speaker 3: I quite liked Homer in this episode and the fact
Speaker 3: that he despite not agreeing, not wanting to have to
Speaker 3: eat healthy foods, he just went along with it anyway. Sure,
Speaker 3: you know, he's working overtime, so we can buy some
Speaker 3: fruit salads and things like that. And at the end
Speaker 3: where Marge finds the precious, the precious what was it
Speaker 3: called the stash the stash of foot. Yeah, so I
Speaker 3: originally thought had my notes. It's disappointing that the healthy
Speaker 3: eating story didn't really get an ending because Marginal I
Speaker 3: thought it was going to be the kids would catch
Speaker 3: the parents eating the junk food. I was like, you
Speaker 3: know what, no, no, no, this is literally life. This
Speaker 3: is Nikola and I. This is what happens when you're
Speaker 3: a parent. You want to make sure your kids eat healthy,
Speaker 3: but then when they go to bed, you go and
Speaker 3: get KFC. You know, we've hit we've passed that peak. Man,
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. It's like when your kids
Speaker 3: you're growing, youre going to have the right foods, make
Speaker 3: sure you grow correctly and your brain's functioning, so you're
Speaker 3: learning in school and whatnot. So you try it. You
Speaker 3: want to do your best for your kids in the
Speaker 3: sense of feeding them the healthy foods. But then you know,
Speaker 3: sometimes at the end of the day, tired and you're
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm going to get kernel on the
Speaker 3: line and just guessing KFC. So that story that that
Speaker 3: ending there actually wasn't ending. That is literally life. And
Speaker 3: that's why I thought, you know what this feels to
Speaker 3: me as a parent watching Classic symps because this is
Speaker 3: this is like watching life.
Speaker 6: Okay, well, if it resonates with you, that's good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: But again, to me, look just like a couple of
Speaker 6: things you mentioned as well. I mean, I know that
Speaker 6: they've always you know, shouted out pop culture references and
Speaker 6: things like that, something like oh you found the press
Speaker 6: is like that feels that felt cheap to me.
Speaker 3: It just felt yeah.
Speaker 6: And even the the thing when they're in what is
Speaker 6: supposedly a Whole Foods or whatever, it's like, oh, in
Speaker 6: this organic place and oh the food's you know, so
Speaker 6: preservative free that it's actually going off, and you know,
Speaker 6: and the girl behind the counter is tattooed, nose ringed.
Speaker 6: All felt like this felt like an old man shaking
Speaker 6: fistic cloud to me, like, oh, this is the way
Speaker 6: the world is now.
Speaker 3: It felt like that's how I look at those places.
Speaker 3: How I.
Speaker 6: Well, okay, that's cool man. Yeah this clip is different people. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: this clearly resonated with you more than it did with me.
Speaker 3: With the Precious gag. So the Simpsons in their nineties
Speaker 3: in the Golden Ear, we say we're talking with Josh
Speaker 3: Weinstein about how they were very particular with the references
Speaker 3: they would make that if you're a kid, you might
Speaker 3: not understand it, but you knew it was something. Do
Speaker 3: you think a kid, so you're five six year old?
Speaker 3: Because Lord of the Rings is a decade old by
Speaker 3: this point, right, do you think watching this that is
Speaker 3: their version of a nineteen eighty half a decade old
Speaker 3: by this stage. Yeah. Maybe the Precious that was in
Speaker 3: two thousand and one. It's more like two thousand and two,
Speaker 3: two thousand and three, and this is two thousand nine.
Speaker 3: So was he not in the first one? Golin was
Speaker 3: in the second one second, So that was two thousand
Speaker 3: and three? Was it two thousand and two. That's seven
Speaker 3: years old. Yeah, so just say we've watched an episode.
Speaker 3: I watch episode The Simpsons in nineteen ninety two, like
Speaker 3: they're referencing something from nineteen eighty five before I was born.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't know what was going on. Maybe, Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: each year. He is the thing.
Speaker 6: If you if you're inclined to dislike an episode, or
Speaker 6: if you've sort of if it's not sitting right with you,
Speaker 6: it's clear this is cleanland sitting right, and now you're
Speaker 6: more inclined to find old. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 6: mean I don't want to be fucking Debbie down here
Speaker 6: or something, but I mean, what do you think of
Speaker 6: of Jena Hill?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 3: I thought he's fine. Yeah, I could tell it was
Speaker 3: him from the get go. I was like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's Jonah Hill, and Jonah Hill in that time was
Speaker 3: a pretty good get you know, he was, Oh absolutely.
Speaker 3: I mean he's still a big star, but I think
Speaker 3: I feel like he's he's popular with his waying now
Speaker 3: because we've learned things about and his sort of accusations
Speaker 3: like whatever. But he's he was at the peak of
Speaker 3: his fat guy in comedy's era super Bad Yeah and eight.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, he's definitely on the rise as a comedy star,
Speaker 6: but it's just prior to him making this transition, because
Speaker 6: he got like two Oscar nominations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it for Wolf of Wolf. He got
Speaker 3: one for Wolf of Wall Street and one for money Ball.
Speaker 3: He was. Yeah, he's like a legitimately good actor and
Speaker 3: rely talented person. Yeah, but this is the era of like,
Speaker 3: is he knocked up too? I think it's like a
Speaker 3: side character. Wasn't it that did mister skin?
Speaker 8: Was that?
Speaker 3: Was that him doing?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Was he he was in that? Wasn't in? I think
Speaker 3: he had a big part in forty year Old Virgin
Speaker 3: And yeah he was a kid in the eBay store,
Speaker 3: that's right, Yeah, Yeah, which I believe was his first
Speaker 3: because that was before super Bad. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think he was in a movie before that called Accepted,
Speaker 6: which I don't know it were. I think it to
Speaker 6: start justin long. I don't know if it was Apataw
Speaker 6: sort of related, but yeah, look I thought he did
Speaker 6: just find in this Yeah, not bad at all.
Speaker 3: I like that it wasn't Hey it's Jonah Hill. They're
Speaker 3: actually using guest stars as characters the game, which I appreciate.
Speaker 3: That's the thing. I think.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hill takes himself I want to say very seriously,
Speaker 6: but I think he views himself as more than just hey,
Speaker 6: I'm funny, fat guy. It's like, I can I can
Speaker 6: do characters, I can act, I can actually create a
Speaker 6: character from the ground up.
Speaker 3: And he was kind of playing with Jonah Hill as character.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was playing to his strengths, but he was
Speaker 6: also not just like hey, hey it's me Jonah Hill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the end, he becomes a TV right, Like
Speaker 3: he's actually got a gig and he's going to go
Speaker 3: to the makeap room and whatnot. Also didn't mind speaking
Speaker 3: of him being, you know, an actor and want to
Speaker 3: but he's also a big Simpsons fan and apparently he
Speaker 3: said he had written almost one hundred Simpsons scripts himself.
Speaker 3: You sent them into the studio and never wand to replies.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't. But do you ever feel like those scripts
Speaker 3: that they've received, do you think they actually ever received
Speaker 3: them and read them or and just not go back
Speaker 3: or do you think they just go straight to the bin?
Speaker 3: I imagine illegal reason, they probably must go straight to
Speaker 3: the bin. You hear so many people saying, please don't
Speaker 3: send me your script. Yeah, I'm not allowed to Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm not Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 6: The greatest thing I've ever read. I'm not allowed to
Speaker 6: read it because if I can't use ninety percent of it,
Speaker 6: but ten percent of it might be like that's really interesting,
Speaker 6: or and I don't consciously copy it, but it's like
Speaker 6: it ends up in something I've written.
Speaker 3: You probably have the right to sue me. I wonder too,
Speaker 3: if you're writing a script and you're kind of an
Speaker 3: idea to get Oh, I was in that specscript I
Speaker 3: read that time that kids sent in. It's like you
Speaker 3: sort of feel like you couldn't write it. Then that's
Speaker 3: correct where if you come up with yourself and you
Speaker 3: didn't read that, you like, what a great idea, Even
Speaker 3: if you've been written by somebody, you feel like you've
Speaker 3: come up with it.
Speaker 6: This happened the other day. I was listening to some
Speaker 6: podcast and I listened to a lot of podcasts. Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: but I've been batting around a story idea for ages. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and it was sort of, you know, tied to existing
Speaker 6: ip It's like, this will be a great way to
Speaker 6: sort of expand on that. And then was listening to
Speaker 6: this podcast that I thought i'd maybe heard before. And
Speaker 6: then the guy and it was basically exactly the same
Speaker 6: thing that I was thinking. It's like, okay, well, either
Speaker 6: this is not that original an idea, or I've heard
Speaker 6: this before and thought that and then later on came
Speaker 6: up with the idea and thought that it was fine.
Speaker 6: It was like a yeah, but there are only so
Speaker 6: many ideas out there, aren't there.
Speaker 3: I remember when I was I was like fourteen, got
Speaker 3: my guitar and I was writing songs and whatnot, and
Speaker 3: I wrote a song it was called Happiness is a
Speaker 3: Golden Gun. And then I'll discovered the Beatles and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, yeah, they got a song is a
Speaker 3: Warm Gun.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: There was a great.
Speaker 6: Interview with one of my favorite singer songwriters and in
Speaker 6: this guy named Nick Lowe, and he was saying, yeah, look,
Speaker 6: the first things you write are essentially copies of your
Speaker 6: very favorite person.
Speaker 3: And then it's like, but I didn't discovered the Beatles
Speaker 3: yet though, but that well, yeah, but you're sort of
Speaker 3: heared by osmosis, not habit the warm I reckon anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 3: But then it was so I got maybe a second
Speaker 3: third favorite bit one was like what if I did
Speaker 3: you know it's mostly A but with a little bit
Speaker 3: of B. You put a clock in it and then
Speaker 3: lit a little for columb Yeah, and then eventually you
Speaker 3: sort of the more you do that, all your influences
Speaker 3: sort of merge and become something that's yours, and you know,
Speaker 3: you merge it with your own sort of experiences and
Speaker 3: thoughts and feelings as well. So, yeah, of course that's
Speaker 3: going to happen. This show is brought to you by

Speaker 3: Skinner story at the start? I didn't mind it again
Speaker 3: as throwing history out the window. But by this point,
Speaker 3: who cares, You're just going to accept it, right, But
Speaker 3: I like the idea of Skinner being a cool principle. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like he was on Who's the From Home agost to College?
Speaker 3: He's playing more. Which band was it? Pretenders and Pretenders? Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're basis. Yeah, I mean I love the idea that
Speaker 3: he was slightly longer hair and you know, like to
Speaker 3: go for he was frisbee in extreme freezing, good shape,
Speaker 3: in good shape. Yeah, yeah, I wanted is Skinner still
Speaker 3: in good shape? I feel it feels like the kind
Speaker 3: of guy. Have you ever seen him with his shirt off?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: I mean it was always the great gag that will
Speaker 3: the Williams in shape, and especially Flanders was in shape.
Speaker 3: I wonder it'd be a good gag. I'm not sure
Speaker 3: if they've ever done it. I could be wrong. Member,
Speaker 3: we have seen Skinner with his shirt off post arm days.
Speaker 3: But if skinny are skinny. If Skinner and Willy have
Speaker 3: an argument and Willi rips off his shirt and Skin
Speaker 3: rips off his shirt, he's alsoagged.
Speaker 6: He strikes me as the kind of person who I
Speaker 6: don't know would be kind of disciplined in that way.
Speaker 6: I think you feel like you'd get up and he'd
Speaker 6: do twenty five push ups every morning. Yes, to keep
Speaker 6: it a little bit tight.
Speaker 3: My favorite. Did you have any favorite moments from the episode?
Speaker 3: Not that many clearly see. Here's the other thing with
Speaker 3: Skinner as well. Yeah, this felt underdeveloped me. It felt
Speaker 3: like him telling Bart about Andy.
Speaker 6: Was like a whole sigh op that he was kind
Speaker 6: of like, you know, oh, this kid keeps out smarting me,
Speaker 6: but I'm going to I'll try and get under his.
Speaker 3: Skin by telling him about Oh no, there was the
Speaker 3: best pranks for a makeup a story. Yeah, and really
Speaker 3: just sort of mess with his head in that way,
Speaker 3: which ties into I, like Skinner saying on the best
Speaker 3: of your era. Maybe it's like this could be interesting
Speaker 3: and this turns into a sort of psychological mind game
Speaker 3: between these ts. I thought it would have been interesting
Speaker 3: for how to turn out to be like Skinner, Oh,
Speaker 3: it was the prank stuff, but the thing, Oh actually,
Speaker 3: I do have another moment and his Skinner related Yeah,
Speaker 3: when he's when he's cool dude and he's of have
Speaker 3: to have his morning swim. See, someone is like, hey,
Speaker 3: look at stay in school. Oh well, Jason, Jason, that's right.
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what that prank it's not a prank.
Speaker 3: That's fucking psychopathic. A prank is kind of something. A
Speaker 3: prank is like something that Bart does.
Speaker 6: When this just defied credibility completely when when he sets
Speaker 6: up the fake toilet or something, everyone has a laugh
Speaker 6: at Skin's expense, and Skin is probably humiliated by that,
Speaker 6: but at the same time it's for everyone else's amusement.
Speaker 6: Putting him into a pool full of worms and then
Speaker 6: sealing the pool for three that's like something out of
Speaker 6: fucking seven.
Speaker 3: I've got something. I find us a nation or something
Speaker 3: or or whatever. It's like, it's pretty, it's not a break.
Speaker 3: It's psychopathic. Yeah, there's no wonder Skinner became twisted and deranged.
Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, you come out of that, well, yeah,
Speaker 3: you'd come out of that like golum. That's yeah. But
Speaker 3: that was probably my two favorite moms. I'm sure it's
Speaker 3: my favorite moments are the ones you despised tell me.
Speaker 3: I really liked the self reference to at the end
Speaker 3: to TV right as being losers. I like that. I
Speaker 3: thought that was when it comes to breaking the fourth
Speaker 3: wall gags. It's one of my favorite ones for a while.
Speaker 3: I like the various soy foods at the supermarket being
Speaker 3: put through the checkout. I just I just thought that
Speaker 3: was great. I feel maybe I'm just on the same
Speaker 3: wavelength as the writer here. The way we think about things.
Speaker 3: And I like the end where where the parents realize
Speaker 3: I'll come to the conclusion, will let junk Foo make
Speaker 3: sure the kids eat healthy? I was like, that's literally
Speaker 3: Nickola and artist. I found it very relatable, well seen
Speaker 3: by this episode. Yeah, so you which is why you
Speaker 3: didn't like it? Correct? Next question you there eating the beast?
Speaker 3: All right? Trivia time. My first question for you is
Speaker 3: how many more payments as skinn I got to make
Speaker 3: before he is half owner of the car? Was fifty two? Five?
Speaker 3: Thirty five?
Speaker 6: Who is the fourth gradi and staff writer whose byline
Speaker 6: is on the story? Nerd stands up to Bully memorial
Speaker 6: service Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Where the hell was that? When they're looking through the
Speaker 3: micro effice or the internet or whatever? And oh, I
Speaker 3: didn't see it? Which one? His name was? Billy Jones?
Speaker 3: Billy Jones? All right? My next question for you is
Speaker 3: where did they have to land the plane? When? Was it?
Speaker 3: Nairobi Arobi? Correct? Yeah, some chick mister wedding? Yeah that
Speaker 3: sound like a very Jonahill. Can you name three of
Speaker 3: the pranks on the prank board at the very start?
Speaker 3: I do have them in my notes. I'll try and
Speaker 3: remember a little bit I'm not going to I reckon.
Speaker 3: I can try and remember this. I'm trying to remember
Speaker 3: you use that brain of my shorter memory is gone.
Speaker 3: So one of them was untitled Skateboard Prank, untitled Scalped
Speaker 3: Project project. Correct, you had h and if I thought
Speaker 3: long and hard enough, I probably could get this.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 3: No, one of was good because it was a song
Speaker 3: they sing it that who Let the Let the Dogs In? Yes,
Speaker 3: it wasn't one of them, just like death to Rop Skinner,
Speaker 3: Rop Skinner. That's three. It is what the rest of
Speaker 3: gumbo was one of the Operation Gumbo, Operation Gumbo Drop,
Speaker 3: Gumbo Drop. Okay, isn't that.
Speaker 6: The titles were Night of a Thousand Skunks, Who Let
Speaker 6: the Dogs In? Tour a Tour a Toilet alright, p Skinner.
Speaker 6: I love the eighties, untitled Skateboard Project, and Operation Gumbo Drop.
Speaker 3: I will say it feels like this season they're putting
Speaker 3: more effort into signed gags again and little things that
Speaker 3: you know kids needs will like. That is straight past
Speaker 3: over kids head. Kids not gonna be able to read that.
Speaker 3: Probably's not reading that because the kids are starting to
Speaker 3: watch Simpsons a lot. Now I've just gone you know what,
Speaker 3: all bets are off itching, scratchy is whatever, Just just
Speaker 3: just watch your ship and then they're really enjoyed. But
Speaker 3: those kind of sign gags lost on them. And my
Speaker 3: final question for you is what is the brand of
Speaker 3: biscuit or snack that Marge brings in and Manulis reads
Speaker 3: and shows you're having these? Was it hydrario? It's hydroxios hydroxios. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I hydroxio hydrox I'd one more for you. Yeah. What
Speaker 3: is Andy Hamilton's address? No idea, It's fifty three Hyperion drive,
Speaker 3: Hyperian Drive. All right, let's get into some stone cut
Speaker 3: of shoutout. Shall we do it? Let's do it starting
Speaker 3: with the lovely KTG. I feel like Katy g would
Speaker 3: be up for a good prank. I think should be
Speaker 3: a bit of a prankster in a day. What if
Speaker 3: her prank was withdrawing her final support from the full
Speaker 3: finger disca network not appreciated, No worthy, Andy Hamilton, Psychopathic, Yes,

Speaker 3: All right, So the original air date of this episode
Speaker 3: was November twenty second, two thousand and nine, and it
Speaker 3: was a Christmas episode, but Chrismas episode. It was like
Speaker 3: had Christmas themes, Christmas jokes throughout, but it was a
Speaker 3: diff an air around Christmas time? Where were the other
Speaker 3: Christmas jokes? I mean, I'm sure you'll tell me as
Speaker 3: we well, Millhouse mentions about Santa when you followed Santa Home.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so it's just like a reference. But so
Speaker 3: Rednecks and Roomsticks as the next episode that aired when
Speaker 3: stuff maybe there was like a never be twenty nine.
Speaker 3: How weird Yeah. Good.
Speaker 6: I feel like the only Christmas thing other than that
Speaker 6: thing that you just mentioned was, yeah, the Twelve Days
Speaker 6: of Christmas song as the as the couch gag.
Speaker 3: You feel like you would save that for Christmas time, right,
Speaker 3: you would think? So let's let's skip through to the
Speaker 3: closest one airs to Christmas time. Oh Brother, where Bart?
Speaker 3: Well it's December thirteenth, Maybe one more Thursdays with aby
Speaker 3: ed on January third? So the Last Old Brother where Bart? Fou?
Speaker 3: Is it a Christmas episode? Who knows? Maybe we'll find out. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I thought it was really odd to have a Christmas
Speaker 3: themed couch gag. It seemed weird to me. What do
Speaker 3: you think it would be in the top three films
Speaker 3: at the US box office on November twenty second, two
Speaker 3: thousand and nine, mister Davis, Oh, I I've got no idea.
Speaker 3: I reckon thousand and nine. What was your favorite film
Speaker 3: in two thousand and nine? Come on, man, don't remember
Speaker 3: anything that came out in two thousand and nine, No,
Speaker 3: nothing at all? All right? Well, the top film is
Speaker 3: it Avatar? The top film was The Twilight Saga New Moon. Oh,
Speaker 3: that was the number one film the US box office
Speaker 3: the blind Side was number two and twenty twelve was
Speaker 3: number one, number three, down from number one twelve. Okay,
Speaker 3: well remember that. Yeah, of course I know what the
Speaker 3: blinds hate is. Yeah, Sandra Bullet, you got an oscar
Speaker 3: for it, didn't You didn't it? Yeah, I'm the Twilight
Speaker 3: saga New Moon. No one talks about Twilight anymore. It
Speaker 3: just completely vanished. It was like the Walking Dead as well.
Speaker 3: Walking that still has its hardcore niche fan base, right
Speaker 3: when Walking Dead was huge.
Speaker 6: Game of Thrones, yeah got its Walking Dead's got its
Speaker 6: spin offs, and I'm assuming that.
Speaker 3: They must be. It's a part of the the zeigeis anymore,
Speaker 3: you know, I matter. It feels like everyone was talking
Speaker 3: about Walking Dead or you knew someone who was watching it.
Speaker 3: I know anyone watching that show. Anyone know anyone who
Speaker 3: talks about Twilight. And it's almost like people but they
Speaker 3: say they're embarrassed to watch Twilight. Oh well, it's just
Speaker 3: that it was always time. Yeah, Twilight. It's hard to
Speaker 3: explain how big it was at the time. It was huge.
Speaker 6: It's slowly starting to sort of creep back in. I
Speaker 6: think they are having like rep screenings of it, are they? Yeah,
Speaker 6: because Yeah, the generation that really grew up on it
Speaker 6: and kids are now like, if not showing their kids,
Speaker 6: the teething is reaching a stage where it's like, I'd
Speaker 6: like to get a little of that sweet, sweet nostalgia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, New Moon is like the second or third one.
Speaker 3: Who was the last one I've never seen. I've actually
Speaker 3: never seen any of them?
Speaker 6: Twilight, and I just called the first one Twilt and
Speaker 6: then it became the Twilight side because I mean, they
Speaker 6: wrote all the books and I'm pretty sure the last
Speaker 6: one were like Breaking Dawn Part one and two.
Speaker 3: Twilight was released twenty eight Clips is in there as well.
Speaker 3: The second was New Moon, and the third one was Eclipse,
Speaker 3: and then fourth was Breaking Dawn Part one, then Breaking
Speaker 3: There was five of them. It was five movies. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: well we and they pulled that so they split it
Speaker 3: up into two movies. Harry Potter, Yes, yes, make that money.
Speaker 3: But the production code for this episode was LA B
Speaker 3: F one eight, written by Jeff Westbrook, directed by Chuck
Speaker 3: Sheets and a guest Jennal Hill as Andy Hamilton and
Speaker 3: of course Marshall Wallace rest in Peace as Edna Crobubble
Speaker 3: Chiotball gig. Halloween does not kick thanksgivings ass and the
Speaker 3: cashagg was when we discussed earlier where it's the twelve
Speaker 3: Days of Christmas and it's just various Simpsons references like
Speaker 3: ten Lenny's leaping five golden frings, blah blah. Anyway, there
Speaker 3: you go. That is the cash gag. What was the
Speaker 3: sign gag?
Speaker 6: The sign gag doctor Otto's quote unquote wellness Clinic, which
Speaker 6: is basically a wheat store. It's him holding a ball.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. I'm kind of disappointed that the
Speaker 3: sign gig doesn't get its own spot on the episode
Speaker 3: features for Wikipedia. It deserves it, right, Well, it's another
Speaker 3: chotboard gig. It does, it does, and you give it
Speaker 3: the love that it deserves. That's correct, yes, but you
Speaker 3: know Wikipedia is a public resource. You could re edit it.
Speaker 3: Can you change that thing though? I'm not sure? Yeah,
Speaker 3: who knows. But anyway, let's get into our run through
Speaker 3: of pranks and greens. Sure kicks off with Barton Millhouse
Speaker 3: that're going over their upcoming pranks and you've already read
Speaker 3: them all out, won't do it again? And bart says
Speaker 3: he's going to lead off with the exploding pen, a
Speaker 3: prank that millhouse has never heard of. But then boom, boom,
Speaker 3: it explodes in his face. Then they do some various
Speaker 3: pranks on the teachers, so they put nitrous oxide and
Speaker 3: carbon monoxide in the teacher's meeting room. They go from
Speaker 3: laughing to sleeping, laughing to sleeping.
Speaker 6: This is done to a very nice piece of music
Speaker 6: by the Russian composer Sergei prokoreve I believe Okay Yeah,
Speaker 6: which is used at the start, and then you hear
Speaker 6: it at the very end of the episode as.
Speaker 3: Well, to be oh, there we go. Skinner, they had
Speaker 3: the fake toilet set up. Doesn't really make sense. This
Speaker 3: one makes It makes no sense at all. It's in
Speaker 3: the middle of the Gymnasu, why would he go to happen? Yeah,
Speaker 3: had that happen. Then they throw balls down the hallway
Speaker 3: to make the teachers get squashed in the hall and
Speaker 3: then Skinner's motor from his car is attached to kind
Speaker 3: of like what Kyle does with the balloons in up
Speaker 3: and it opens up the hood and the motor float
Speaker 3: floats away. Skinner says that was rebuilt, a rebuilt Yugoslavian engine.
Speaker 3: Yugoslavin isn't in the country anymore. So he says bring
Speaker 3: it back immediately, and Bat pulls out his gun, shoots
Speaker 3: the balloons, and it falls out and crushes Skinner's car.
Speaker 3: One presumes it's a be bigger. Yes, yeah, that was true. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it cuts through Bart polishing the slide and you
Speaker 3: see Skinner's reaction in the In the slide, it's very clean,
Speaker 3: rough slides away. But he goes to Skinner's office and
Speaker 3: Skinner says that you are not the first person to
Speaker 3: smash the car that I'm renting from mother.
Speaker 8: Well, Grill, you're cheese yet, boy, you weren't the first
Speaker 8: prankster to destroy the car I rent from mother, and
Speaker 8: you won't be the last wrecked rent to own. Just
Speaker 8: thirty five more payments and it's halfway in mind. The
Speaker 8: point is, I've seen hooligans like you come and go.
Speaker 8: You're all just a big blur of short pants and
Speaker 8: sinister smiles.
Speaker 1: Well maybe so, but I'm the best.
Speaker 3: The best of your era.
Speaker 1: Maybe are you saying there was a kid who was
Speaker 1: worse than me?
Speaker 3: Huh, way worse?
Speaker 8: Anyway, you think no more about it, You're dismissed.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, if there's someone worse, I have to know.
Speaker 3: Who he is he it's a she, just gidding, it's
Speaker 3: a guy. He then tells Millhouse that there was a
Speaker 3: better prankster than me. Millhouse imagines what his psychic will
Speaker 3: look like. It's a giant with a giant inhaler. Then
Speaker 3: Marge is with her mother's group. They called what they
Speaker 3: called midday Mommy, midday mummies. Yeah, midday mummies, and they
Speaker 3: put on the diaper dandies, which is very much like
Speaker 3: coca melon. The cococamone is a modern day diaperby bad daddies.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm aware of the term cocoa melon. I'm sure
Speaker 6: it's a thing. I have never actually heard it. I
Speaker 6: don't think I've ever actually heard baby shark either.
Speaker 3: You've never heard baby shark? Yeah? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: I'm trying to avoid it. I'll probably have for you.
Speaker 3: It is a doo doo do do do do? It's
Speaker 3: a baby shot do doo do do do?
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 3: Baby shout dud dude? Have you never heard it? I
Speaker 3: have now. It's one of those things where I tried
Speaker 3: to avoid and the kids put it on. I was like,
Speaker 3: you know what, I can't I can't deny it's one
Speaker 3: of the catches things. And you know what's also good
Speaker 3: about is sometimes as a parent you just need to
Speaker 3: accept kids like this shit and we create memories with it, right,
Speaker 3: So like we put baby Shark on the car and
Speaker 3: they have like the has that little baby shot and
Speaker 3: then it's like mammy shots that gets bigger and bigger.
Speaker 3: I don't know any of this, and we danced to
Speaker 3: it in the car, and it's like, you know, I'll
Speaker 3: look back fondly at those memories like baby Shark. You know,
Speaker 3: it's just purely designed to generate income, right, to just
Speaker 3: tap into that part of their brain that gets addicted
Speaker 3: and things. But fuck, who cares?
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, Dan, that's so fun. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: I'm a human being.
Speaker 6: I have the natural sort of a biological imperative to
Speaker 6: reproduce to you know, see the Davis's bloodline go on
Speaker 6: and on. It would have been lovely to have been,
Speaker 6: you know, a father and pass on my wisdom and
Speaker 6: influence to the next generation. Phape is able to be
Speaker 6: a grandfather or even a great grandfather and you know,
Speaker 6: just feel the warmth and love of that that generational bond.
Speaker 6: But I never wanted to hear any fucking music like that.
Speaker 6: So I didn't have kids at all. You like the Wiggles,
Speaker 6: that's the only reason you like the Wiggles so much
Speaker 6: fun man, But I was very much like I got
Speaker 6: to a point where I go, you know what, stop
Speaker 6: being a fucking old man, grump prude and just have
Speaker 6: some fun. And yeah, the Baby Shark, I'm gonna play
Speaker 6: it for it. I'm gona play for you one day.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna give you at least expect I'm going to
Speaker 6: give you the I was gonna call you a three
Speaker 6: A one day. Just play Baby Shark through the phone.
Speaker 6: No pranks, that's gonna be the prank I'm gonna get
Speaker 6: you with Baby Shark. Yeah, it's good fun.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's all this I'm being facetious. Cokell yeah
Speaker 3: of course. Yeah. But what Coke Melon is is it's
Speaker 3: my numbing TV. But what it is is it's whoever
Speaker 3: created it. So it was some people make Baby sho
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure created it. They realize parents need time
Speaker 3: to themselves. Oh, parents need something that they can put
Speaker 3: their kids in front of and go take a shit,
Speaker 3: or go read a book for five minutes, ten minutes,
Speaker 3: or just go have a break from being a parent, right,
Speaker 3: And this thing here is the most like I said,
Speaker 3: mind numbing thing you could ever imagine that you're putting
Speaker 3: your kid in front of. But it's it looks like
Speaker 3: an it looks like it's educational. It's like we're singing
Speaker 3: about ABC's. It's like ABC's a b c's. And it's
Speaker 3: just it's all the same tune of like I'll jump
Speaker 3: in the bathtub, I'm gone, I wash my hair, and
Speaker 3: every song follows that sort of tune and it keeps
Speaker 3: watching it like this. I just mesmerized by the by
Speaker 3: the way the way it looks. But you know, as
Speaker 3: apparently you go, I just need ten minutes and that's
Speaker 3: where the success for Cokemalon is born.
Speaker 6: This is what happens to Adlans as well. Though I
Speaker 6: was listening to it's an old song by now, but
Speaker 6: I mean you're aware of the song somebody I used
Speaker 6: to know by Ghostchet.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, you try me recently. It's like
Speaker 3: you listen to the tune of that, like this is
Speaker 3: barbar black shape probably it is everything. Everything's something ud
Speaker 3: do do do do. That's someone I used to know,
Speaker 3: and it's also Barbara black shape it is. It's slightly
Speaker 3: got a clock in it, but it does very much. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, he smells like teen spirit. The
Speaker 3: main riff is just the Pixie's song on the end
Speaker 3: of the Beser. It's just it's more than a feeling
Speaker 3: by Boston. Yeah. Yeah, to the point when Nevanna would
Speaker 3: start playing more than a feeling at their geeks, shut
Speaker 3: out everything, stolen from something. But they put on diaper
Speaker 3: diaper dandies and I think this one is not garn
Speaker 3: and poop in the tub. Yeah, I guess it's good.
Speaker 3: It's good advice. Yeah, yeah, I guess so. I mean,
Speaker 3: Nicola did it the other day, not recommended what take it?
Speaker 3: Take it dump in the tub? Yeah, well both in there.
Speaker 3: I was like, what are you doing? What are you
Speaker 3: for the fuck wrong? She didn't really, But then you're
Speaker 3: very convincing them. Yes, but then the march, the march
Speaker 3: the much. But then Marge goes to get milk and
Speaker 3: cookies for snack time. Everyone loves snack time, and she
Speaker 3: arrives with snacks and everyone wants to eat, but all
Speaker 3: the mothers just beate her.
Speaker 4: Okay, everyone, snack time, I've got milk, and cookies hydroxials large.
Speaker 7: How good you Those cookies are full of high fruit
Speaker 7: past corn syrup and partially hydrogen needed oils.
Speaker 1: Have you even read the books I've read? But this
Speaker 1: is from the Quickie mad you and your husband worked there.
Speaker 7: I would sooner pour the polluted water other gunches down
Speaker 7: their gullets, then give them this cartoon of cow cancer
Speaker 7: you call milk. Sorry, I don't know March until you
Speaker 7: start serving healthy food. The midday mummies are pulling you
Speaker 7: from snack rotation.
Speaker 3: Wow, coraginated d the mother of the one ID. I
Speaker 3: was about to say, so, we've got a Maggie baby
Speaker 3: Gerald Truce here. Yeah, apparently so. But I like to
Speaker 3: have you even read the books that I've read. Exactly.
Speaker 3: That's one thing you hear when your first parent. When
Speaker 3: you're a second parent, no one cares, but the first
Speaker 3: parents they're always reading books. I've read this book, I've
Speaker 3: read this book, ready books, what to expect when you're expecting. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: But then she gets sacked from the midday Mummies, which
Speaker 3: I thought was a bit mean. That's a bit hush.
Speaker 3: He beat my hush in de Bart is now in
Speaker 3: the library trying to find out information on this old prankster.
Speaker 3: He looks up old newspapers and you realize there was
Speaker 3: a two week gap missing between when Skinner went from.
Speaker 7: Cool to toool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Lisa says, we need to figure out what
Speaker 3: that was. And then noticed Willy's in the background of
Speaker 3: one of the photos of Skinner when he was cool,
Speaker 3: so he was obviously there. He's on the back. He's
Speaker 3: feeling he's doing some work in the which doesn't make
Speaker 3: sense because he was in the background when he was
Speaker 3: the tool by that point. Yeah. But then Lisa asks
Speaker 3: mart to distribute some papers around for her before he
Speaker 3: goes to talk to will He says, of course, I'll
Speaker 3: do that. Cut to him chucking him on the fire
Speaker 3: when he's talking about the fire with Willy, and Willie says,
Speaker 3: I won't tell you what happened because I've always been
Speaker 3: swim teacher Willy, and he realizes, what I'm going to
Speaker 3: tell you the story now. He tells me the story
Speaker 3: of the night of the Wigglers. Even that was kind
Speaker 3: of the morning of the Wigglers. Oh yeah, because it
Speaker 3: was that was the sun going down at the point. No, No,
Speaker 3: it was a morning to the morning, a morning swim
Speaker 3: daily morning swim. Yeah, the skinner prepares for Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: daily swim, and he jumps off the diving board because
Speaker 3: the school had a pool at this point, and he
Speaker 3: lands in a pool full of worms because the prankster,
Speaker 3: we find out is Andy Hamilton filled it full of worms.
Speaker 3: But not that, as he said, covered the pool as well.
Speaker 3: That would be.
Speaker 6: Terrifying diving into a pool. For that's fine. It's like
Speaker 6: that gotcha covering in worms. I discussed, but I'm out
Speaker 6: now that's great.
Speaker 3: Logged him in there for three days, yeah, the weekend
Speaker 3: and the Monday because it was teacher educational day or
Speaker 3: whatever we have to learn anyway, but it was teacher
Speaker 3: development day is what it was. So you get saved
Speaker 3: on the Tuesday. And now he became the twister skinner
Speaker 3: that we all know and really says his name was
Speaker 3: Andy Hamilton. Then Marge, we get to Marge throwing at
Speaker 3: all the bad food, the various things, the trans fat
Speaker 3: and as well as hard poor corn, which I saw
Speaker 3: was kind of funny. Then she Homer tries to putting
Speaker 3: it out with bitch cream, but turns out that's petroleum,
Speaker 3: a petroleum by a product, and that catches fire as well.
Speaker 3: But Milhouse now go to Andy's house, and Millhouse says,
Speaker 3: you know, it's not always good to meet your heroes
Speaker 3: because I once followed Santa home from the mall and
Speaker 3: what I saw wasn't pretty. Yeah, don't do that, kids, No, no,
Speaker 3: allow Sander some I'm alone time. We're doing some grown
Speaker 3: up We're doing Santa photos this Monday. And Elliott's already
Speaker 3: sat in the con and he's going, this is just
Speaker 3: some what of Sander's helpers, right, it's not really Santa.
Speaker 3: And I was like, I think, I think once you
Speaker 3: put on the suit, you kind of becomes Sandal at
Speaker 3: the Santa CRUs movie. He's like, yeah, yeah, okay, cool.
Speaker 3: He's sort of starting sort of ask questions. Well done,
Speaker 3: Tim Allen doing the heavy lifting for us, all our
Speaker 3: sinners out there. Yeah. But the thing is what I
Speaker 3: feel like I kind of ruined the illusion for Alliot
Speaker 3: last year. Remember I told you the Santa pulled his
Speaker 3: beard down, You're a better say something else. So Allie
Speaker 3: sitting on his Santa pulled his own beard down. So
Speaker 3: he's like, Alli, So Alliot, Holy Holly's like getting ready.
Speaker 3: It looks at Alliott and he goes, pulls, he pulls it,
Speaker 3: pulls the beard down so Ali could see like his
Speaker 3: mouth and stuff, and then smoked and put it back up.
Speaker 3: And I went, I said, what are you doing? Don't
Speaker 3: break car? He goes, oh, I thought he knew. I
Speaker 3: was like, what, what the fuck would you assume this
Speaker 3: kid who's come to get a photo of Santa knew
Speaker 3: that you weren't Santa. I was like, that's worthy of
Speaker 3: a complaint, right, you're paying like eighty bucks of these
Speaker 3: photos for the package and whatnot. Yeah, like magnets and
Speaker 3: all the kind shit. Maye, it's fifty bucks under. It's
Speaker 3: more than it should be. And Alice is there and
Speaker 3: he pulls the beard down. I'm like, what are we
Speaker 3: doing here? You're on the clog, buddy. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I feel like you would be a good Santa. I
Speaker 3: feel like you'd be good with the kids, you know,
Speaker 3: like you just you'd get into the Christmas spirit if
Speaker 3: you had the Sanda suit. I feel like you would
Speaker 3: just be your turn from screwge to Santa. Oh well,
Speaker 3: we added, Okay, I'm known for committing to the bit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: let's see, let's let's make guy the fourth Finger Discount

Speaker 3: But they go to that, they get to the Andy's
Speaker 3: house and the doorknob has been glued and it's glued
Speaker 3: loosener on the thing. He pulls the glue loosener and
Speaker 3: the bucket officials falls on Bart. Then this is where
Speaker 3: they're meeting Andy. Then he says, when I was your age,
Speaker 3: we couldn't film pranks for YouTube. It was local TV
Speaker 3: or nothing. You're obviously pringles and bars. Isn't he shure
Speaker 3: there's no spring snakes in here? No, of course not.
Speaker 3: And it turns out it's a real snake that's been defanged,
Speaker 3: but bites it, tries to bite Millhouse and it can
Speaker 3: still rub poison on him with it, with his gums,
Speaker 3: with his gams. Yeah. Then we cut to Millhouse, who
Speaker 3: now has the shivers. He's all sick because he's had
Speaker 3: the poison rubbed on him, and and he's showing various
Speaker 3: slides of his pranks. Do you feel that's kind of
Speaker 3: them trying to acknowledge that this guy's is a bit
Speaker 3: out of touch because he's using slides maybe, Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: a good point. Yeah, he's not putting video who knows him?
Speaker 3: But he's nineteen, isn't he. Yeah, so he's not necessarily
Speaker 3: well he's not old. But if he's the ghost of
Speaker 3: Bart future, Yeah, to use a Christmasy term, then this
Speaker 3: is his glory days were ten years ago, right, how
Speaker 3: old's bar?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, so we're talking. Yeah, so we're doing a
Speaker 3: different time, different are Yeah, that's true. Yep. Then there's
Speaker 3: yeh because this guy he's still doing pranks, but he
Speaker 3: was in his peak when he was Bart stage. It
Speaker 3: makes sense. Yeah, he shows shots of the bear traps
Speaker 3: at school, the fire water fountain. Then he faked a
Speaker 3: heart attack on an international flight which had to be
Speaker 3: landed in Naobi, and she missed her wedding. Then we
Speaker 3: see in the background the snake cross back into Milhouse's shirt.
Speaker 3: Then bart is telling Lisa about all the various pranks
Speaker 3: this guy's done, how cool he is, and then when
Speaker 3: he gets when his mum gets home, she makes his
Speaker 3: favorite sandwich. And this is where Lisa starts doing. What
Speaker 3: you didn't like was the loser aspect, which, as I agree,
Speaker 3: the way she went about it was kind of mean,
Speaker 3: but it's kind of losers, right, is his mum no job,
Speaker 3: does pranks, doesn't earn a living from because he's living
Speaker 3: at home with his mum. Yeah, I would just given
Speaker 3: what you know about Lisa, you would think that she
Speaker 3: would be kind of taking more of the approach of
Speaker 3: like she'd be a bit more sympathetic, like this guy
Speaker 3: seems kind of lost and also looking out for a
Speaker 3: brother's I don't think you want to be like this guy.
Speaker 3: I think this guy's a poor role model for maybe
Speaker 3: because he reminds her of the barked the barts of
Speaker 3: her life.
Speaker 6: Quite possibly, Yeah, the pranksters, except you know he's never Yeah, man,
Speaker 6: he's never done a thing to her, and he hasn't.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, yeah, they use Lisa as the vehicle to
Speaker 3: voice that agenda through this episode. I mean, who else
Speaker 3: would you use? Really? This is probably the only one
Speaker 3: he could really use. My yeah, probably.
Speaker 1: Oh Andy has a perfect life.
Speaker 4: All he does is reminisce about his pranks, and when
Speaker 4: his mom gets home from work, she makes him whatever,
Speaker 4: saying what he wants. M M.
Speaker 1: This Andy sounds like kind of a loser. How about
Speaker 1: someone so much like me be a loser?
Speaker 5: Lose?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Would a loser have showed me how to put printer's
Speaker 4: ink in a bottle of shampoo?
Speaker 7: I never felt so clean?
Speaker 3: And who's there?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is making me see things from both
Speaker 1: sides again.
Speaker 2: I warned you about that she.
Speaker 4: Shouldn't bard have all the information he needs to make
Speaker 4: an informed decision.
Speaker 3: Well, you know you're doing it to me.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 3: I think my problem with the whole loser thing is
Speaker 3: I never liked to win. Jim Carrey today though, when
Speaker 3: did he do it?
Speaker 4: He?
Speaker 3: I think did he do it in Anceentura? He did
Speaker 3: not the losing, but he did call someone a pathetic
Speaker 3: I think he calls Harry pathetic. Loser and dumb and dumber. No, no,
Speaker 3: I think in ace ventury he goes loose. That's carry,
Speaker 3: isn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that just strikes me as kind of over the top.
Speaker 6: You're working it a bit too much. You're trying to
Speaker 6: squeeze so.
Speaker 3: Much juice out. Yea. That was his first big film though, right,
Speaker 3: oh yeah? And then yeah, yes, what dumb and dumber
Speaker 3: and masking the same year. That's insane. But as Marge,
Speaker 3: if you've got a friend who's a bit of a loser, like,
Speaker 3: what do you do about it? If you lookup to him?
Speaker 3: But he's a bit of a loser, And she says, well,
Speaker 3: when you care about somebody, it's not out of line
Speaker 3: to try and push him in the right direction. And
Speaker 3: then he calls her out not washing the carrots. Did
Speaker 3: you watch those carrots? No, I didn't put them in
Speaker 3: the bin. You could have washed them. Deaths Now at
Speaker 3: the health food supermarket and march everything. He looks bad
Speaker 3: on the shelf, but good INNI column and he sees
Speaker 3: a guy with a recycling bag, which now doesn't seem
Speaker 3: out of the norm. Everyone has recycling in La anyway.
Speaker 3: Victoria is not every state. I don't think in Australia
Speaker 3: or is it every state now, I would think it
Speaker 3: would be every state. Certainly Victoria. You don't have plastic
Speaker 3: bags here anymore any Yeah, but.
Speaker 6: Back at this stage of the game was very much like, oh,
Speaker 6: if you're shopping out of shop that's all organic products,
Speaker 6: that of course you're going to have your own shopping back. Otherwise,
Speaker 6: what's wrong with you?
Speaker 3: Because, as list it points out, it ruins the mating
Speaker 3: rituals of the jellyfish and stupid horny jellyfish nittering our dudes.
Speaker 3: Then margins at the checkout and the checkout chick is
Speaker 3: reading out all the various things. It's all soy based,
Speaker 3: so non soy dairy based, soy sauce, chef soyer d
Speaker 3: soy based spaghetti, soy balls, free range gluten, this ultra
Speaker 3: vegan invisible cheese, marginals. You don't have to read it out.
Speaker 3: I already know what I'm getting. And it comes to
Speaker 3: seven hundred and ninety dollars, and she realized she's got
Speaker 3: the blueberries, and now it's eight hundred and thirty dollars.
Speaker 3: Homo says, I'm going to go to a normal supermarket
Speaker 3: next week. She points out this food won't last a
Speaker 3: day and to start shriveling up. I get what you
Speaker 3: say about alben yellow at cloud, but natural food does
Speaker 3: not last as long though, no no, I was disappointed.
Speaker 3: We went to our local fruit market the other day, right,
Speaker 3: like the want I don't support the big supermarkets when
Speaker 3: it comes to fruit away from the local food shop. Now,
Speaker 3: I won't name it because it's kind of thrown them
Speaker 3: under the bus, but you know the one I'm talking about,
Speaker 3: And I just grab strawberry, pune off the thing off
Speaker 3: the stacks, like strawberries go home. I realize that all
Speaker 3: moldy or moldy because one has been moldy. And when
Speaker 3: one happens, yes, it's it spreads, yes. And I was like, ah,
Speaker 3: but that will happen in a supermarket. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: So I quickly went back and got a new one.
Speaker 3: So Nico, because Nicholas like she prefers the supermarket once
Speaker 3: for some reason, She's like, that does taste a little
Speaker 3: bit different. Is that because they've been frozen and defrosted.
Speaker 3: Probably that's what happens. But Bart is now with Andy,
Speaker 3: who was spray painting various street signs. He turns into
Speaker 3: bon away and he's got arrows both ways. Wickham says
Speaker 3: he follows the signing yeah, but then asks if this
Speaker 3: is how you expect, if this is how you want
Speaker 3: to live your life. You know you're borrowing spray paint
Speaker 3: from it from a ten year old kid. And he's like,
Speaker 3: well that worry man, I'll say it. I'll pay you
Speaker 3: back when I get way. Allow it's not this one,
Speaker 3: but the next one. And he finally agrees. He's like,
Speaker 3: you know what I need to get my life back
Speaker 3: on track, and Bart says he'll get him a job
Speaker 3: with Krusty because he owes him for committing perjury. I
Speaker 3: think a case or something. Then he takes off his hat.
Speaker 3: He took the little island of hair. Would you ever
Speaker 3: rock that? Do you think? Oh? Never? I see some people.
Speaker 3: I've seen a couple of people recently within us like
Speaker 3: why are you doing? Man? Give it up the island,
Speaker 3: give it up? Do it now? At the Krusty studios.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, if it isn't my old friend you, Krusty
Speaker 4: Anita favor for.
Speaker 2: You, get anything, anything at all. Although I won't read screenplays,
Speaker 2: that's for your protection. Oh and you can't write on
Speaker 2: my private jet. And I won't give a struggling young
Speaker 2: comics first chance. I won't give a broken down hackers
Speaker 2: last chance. I won't buy you kids booze. The judge
Speaker 2: was very clear on that.
Speaker 1: Now, what can I do for you?
Speaker 2: Oh and I don't sign footballs unless you're dying, and
Speaker 2: it reverts back to me after six months if you're
Speaker 2: not dead.
Speaker 6: Apparently all those things yes, according to the Internet, which,
Speaker 6: as we know, always is in the right direction. All
Speaker 6: those all those things that krusty mentions derived from Jonahill movies.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, which off booze?
Speaker 6: Well, I won't I won't buy beer for kids, very
Speaker 6: strict about that. That's super bad. I won't give a
Speaker 6: young comic a break. I think that's from the movie
Speaker 6: Funny People.
Speaker 3: Many people hadn't come out yet, the two thousand and
Speaker 3: eight Funny People. I think I'm relatively across the board
Speaker 3: with jonah Hill movies. But yeah, I couldn't any people
Speaker 3: was in two thousand and nine ten just come out
Speaker 3: Travel Lights earlier.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I couldn't think of any others though. So Look,
Speaker 6: maybe the IMDb was not.
Speaker 3: Quite right with the only two that were the only
Speaker 3: two that I could think of. Did I just say
Speaker 3: that on IMDb that all of these are references to
Speaker 3: something but didn't give you any examples. No, I you
Speaker 3: love those people, but thumbs down.
Speaker 6: People will just say anything on the endnet that got
Speaker 6: sixteen out of sixteen up votes.
Speaker 3: Really all the things that Crusty listed, I that you
Speaker 3: remember the two sixteen up votes. Yeah, we wo're not
Speaker 3: do events in movies with Journey Hill, So what other
Speaker 3: events were there? So it was I won't sign of
Speaker 3: football unless it's if you're a dying kid, but if
Speaker 3: you don't die with it. Yeah, money was Moneyball? It
Speaker 3: wasn't money doesn't think that was twenty eleven, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: It's got nothing to do with moneyball. Basically, I don't
Speaker 3: know what the rest are. Anyway, I'm sure let us
Speaker 3: a little bit like you know, the eBay thing and
Speaker 3: forty year old virgin. But he's driving it, and as
Speaker 3: I was saying, he says, avoid anyone who else screwed over.
Speaker 3: It's like ex wife dog Eye abandoned a blood child. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: but and Lisa are now playing tittley Wink, which I
Speaker 3: have no idea what it is, but one saying Tittley
Speaker 3: in one saying wink and Andy is standing in the
Speaker 3: driveway and not at work and but it's like, what
Speaker 3: do you mean? Man? He says, look, I quit because
Speaker 3: he's asked me to do stuff. He's like, I'm your boss,
Speaker 3: and he's like, yeah, whatever. So he quit after doing nothing.
Speaker 3: But he goes, today wasn't a waste a day because
Speaker 3: I've got this ice cube with a fly in it.
Speaker 3: And Bart's like, dude, what are you doing? Like I
Speaker 3: stacked my stuff out for you. Then Lisa writes past
Speaker 3: saying loser come out from commercial and fly and they
Speaker 3: ask you prank is a Simpson's favorite that is indeed yes,
Speaker 3: The sut it in as a gag. Mothers are now
Speaker 3: again at the Simpsons house. They give the Margin another chance.
Speaker 3: They're now dancing to a song by the Diaper Dandies
Speaker 3: as doggies and kiddies don't last forever, but they do
Speaker 3: last better than fish flush flash for flush fish fish.
Speaker 3: Margin offers some healthy food, but unfortunately she serves it
Speaker 3: in a what oh on a non stick pan? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Made with pfoa's apparently, yes, and they blast her. How
Speaker 3: can you make it forever chemicals? Yes? Never because we
Speaker 3: get a lot of drink bottles now and it's a
Speaker 3: big stick on saying BPA free yes, And I didn't
Speaker 3: know what it was, but I'm like, sure, I guess
Speaker 3: that must be a thing. But they blast her because
Speaker 3: their kids have been sucking on something that's got a
Speaker 3: seven on It must mean something chemical or whatever. And
Speaker 3: they run outside and they hail down an ambulance and
Speaker 3: throw the patient out the back door and they jump
Speaker 3: in was moment?
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 3: Yep? Marge and tastes. I like that still in season
Speaker 3: twenty one, can't catch a break and Marge and taste
Speaker 3: that she realizes that the food she cooked was gross.
Speaker 3: Butt has got end of his job back, and they
Speaker 3: basically he makes a promise to buy here that I
Speaker 3: won't I won't let you down this time, buddy. Then
Speaker 3: Homer gets home late because he worked overtime for some
Speaker 3: extra money to buy some fruit salad, and he catches
Speaker 3: Marge eating his stash and you found the precious we
Speaker 3: already discussed. But he's kind of turned on by this.
Speaker 3: He turned on this band new March. It's a new
Speaker 3: side of her he's never seen. And they're in bed
Speaker 3: now eating all the treats, and he says, you know,
Speaker 3: loud glug contains neither lard nor glug, and that's a
Speaker 3: lot of foods are like that. It's like, oh, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: And then they decide to only make the kids eat
Speaker 3: healthy and that is the end of that story. And
Speaker 3: it feels kind of abrupt, but as I was saying,
Speaker 3: it's it comes to its natural conclusion. Yeah, but I
Speaker 3: can't believe though, that Andy has lasted a whole week
Speaker 3: at his job. So we've got in the most adult
Speaker 3: thing he could think of as a gift, and it's
Speaker 3: a Caesar salad. Never been a fan of caesar salad?
Speaker 3: Are you a caesar salad? Are you a salad guy? Well,
Speaker 3: what dressing are you? I feel like you would be
Speaker 3: a thousand.
Speaker 6: Island I don't mind thousand island. If I'm gonna have that,
Speaker 6: i' usually have it on a rubed sandwich. The sesar
Speaker 6: salad is not bad. I mean, if one's going to
Speaker 6: eat a salad while you're out, then it's got chicken and.
Speaker 3: It's got the croutons. Yeah, got the croutons are key.
Speaker 3: Do you like crispy kroutons or the ones that have
Speaker 3: been a bit soggy. No crispy, They've gotta be crispy, right,
Speaker 3: I do, Yeah, I do. It's a crunch to the
Speaker 3: caesar salad.
Speaker 6: But a nice vineagrette you can't go wrong with that
Speaker 6: for a nice Dijon vinigrette as a as a salad dressing.
Speaker 3: I feel like they're mentioning of vinegar is a good
Speaker 3: lead into shits fucked mate? Oh, explain how because Nicola
Speaker 3: likes to put vinegar on her fish and chips. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and what happened recently? You discovered something? Oh that's true? Yes?
Speaker 3: Did we mention it on full finger discounts? I think
Speaker 3: I was going down to South Park? Yeah? Well yeah,
Speaker 3: but are we gonna are we going to name the establishment? Never?
Speaker 3: Road fish and chip shop? Fish up?
Speaker 6: They cooked chips from hand, cut its chips by hand. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you're not getting the meccaine you've done to gains come
Speaker 6: in a big plastic bag. No, No, someone's out in
Speaker 6: the back room and chopping those spuds into into chips.
Speaker 6: You can taste the difference, and you'll feel the difference,
Speaker 6: and you'll feel the difference. I got some maneuver oad
Speaker 6: fish and chips on Friday night after a long week
Speaker 6: at work. It's like, oh, man, can't we to settle
Speaker 6: in and get get some starch, get some carbs.
Speaker 3: That's not quite right here, what's wrong with this chip?
Speaker 3: The text is off, shape is different. Seen these chips
Speaker 3: Beforecains That was a sein Feld bit, an Australian side Feld,
Speaker 3: a local fish shop handcuff chips Likecaines. I was gone
Speaker 3: for Quinn Jaws, the square chip manufactured chip. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it was really really sad actually because not just because like,
Speaker 3: oh this has ruined my evening of a chip.
Speaker 6: I mean I hate them all, but it's also its
Speaker 6: have been handgunting chips since the eighty thirty years man,
Speaker 6: thirty plus years something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm like dinner, I like to put vinegar
Speaker 3: in my chips as well. Yeah, I think always was
Speaker 3: very disappointed. Yeah, and Romani has changed hands my pizza play,
Speaker 3: pizza plays. The reason I'd be bringing up is because
Speaker 3: this week we're losing another establishment in Geelong Ripper Roast,
Speaker 3: which have been there forever. Oh my god, well is

Speaker 3: no there's no know this is very local, just one
Speaker 3: quick moment. There's no long standing businesses in Geloonna. When
Speaker 3: it comes to what's what's the term? I'm trying to
Speaker 3: find that what I'm trying to look for here where
Speaker 3: it's like the the ones that have been here forever,
Speaker 3: like a legacy business. It's a legacy the way it's
Speaker 3: kind of landmark. But yeah, but where are they? There's

Speaker 3: that's a pizza place.
Speaker 6: It hasn't been it forever though, well, it used to
Speaker 6: be some see this ship my memory is now. It
Speaker 6: used to be called something else before it was Enzo's.
Speaker 6: And the change isn't that recent, Okay, it's like maybe
Speaker 6: five or ten years.
Speaker 3: I'm talking places that have been there for like thirty
Speaker 3: plus No, no, but it was something like that, and
Speaker 3: that was there for ages ages before him. But yeah,
Speaker 3: shit's fucked man. Yes, institutions was the word. I'm looking for,
Speaker 3: institutions of Geelong. Yes, yeah, getting back, we got there.
Speaker 3: But then but here he realizes that there is a
Speaker 3: delivery arriving for Andy Studio six, and it's the Worms
Speaker 3: crank grade giant track driven by whyse guy Crusty is
Speaker 3: now on the air Bart burst in, He asked, louis
Speaker 3: the production guy. I'm assuming if Andy's around, He's like,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him. He's going to be on the show.
Speaker 3: Who's about twenty seasons two late? That's the reference to
Speaker 3: the Simpsons I think they have. Yeah, they're being a
Speaker 3: little too sort of inside baseball. We're not that clever
Speaker 3: with it. Yeah. But then sees Krusty about to dive
Speaker 3: into the pool of worms, which is a reference to
Speaker 3: what happened to Skinner, and he grabs him mid air.
Speaker 3: I don't know how he did this, but he says,
Speaker 3: I won't let you end up like Skinner, twisted and deranged.
Speaker 3: Cut to Skinner, who's watching on TV watch the Crossy Show.
Speaker 3: They say, you got all your troubles, they tell me.
Speaker 3: Then he asks how much do you weigh? Crusting He's like, oh,
Speaker 3: well like way one eighty one ninety, but I'm always packing.
Speaker 3: I've got my car manuel whatnot. Then he slips out
Speaker 3: of his arms, fall into the to the pool of worms.
Speaker 3: He says, I want to warm water, not worm water.
Speaker 3: And turns out Andy is now the head rider. It
Speaker 3: was a bit and he needed a bit, and he
Speaker 3: gave him a bit and he's now very successful. The
Speaker 3: woman calls over to him, she calls him Andrew. Now
Speaker 3: Andy's now Andrew. She wants to meet him in the
Speaker 3: makeout room. And then Lisa says that, oh, we're your
Speaker 3: TV right now. A loser, cous I'm a loser. And
Speaker 3: that's the end of the episode, I guess.
Speaker 6: So yeah, look, it's all well and good with the
Speaker 6: Simpsons Riders or the people in Simmons a q to
Speaker 6: sort of poked fun themselves in this way.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I kind of like the idea of
Speaker 3: it being a happy ending, that Andy had been able
Speaker 3: to take the thing that brought him joy and that
Speaker 3: he was good at and you transfer it into a
Speaker 3: for fun and profit maybe you could take this right.
Speaker 3: You know, you're saying that Lisa is the heel in
Speaker 3: this episode, Maybe you can say that the writer. I
Speaker 3: don't think I actually got the writer any credit in
Speaker 3: some of them. It was written by Jeff Westbrook, directed
Speaker 3: by Chuck Sheets. Maybe Jeff was trying to say that,
Speaker 3: you know what, these people they make fun of us
Speaker 3: have been TV. But we know who's successful TV A
Speaker 3: you know who's not the ones calling us losers. Yeah,
Speaker 3: good point, good point. Maybe that's the point he's trying
Speaker 3: to make. Maybe he knows who knows? We never would.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to give you all the infat so you
Speaker 3: can make the correct decision. That's all I'm doing. Oh
Speaker 3: now he's doing that to me, I am doing it
Speaker 3: to you. What do we learn Bomb? What did you
Speaker 3: learn from the episode? Mister Davis that you cannot beat
Speaker 3: the fly in the ice cube prank? So a gag
Speaker 3: so nice they repeated it twice, that's correct. I learned
Speaker 3: that not all TV writers are loser, some are not
Speaker 3: all we never get. This show is brought to you
