With this week, we're going 14 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.359 to be pulling some pranks. It's prankicing grains. I'm dando, 15 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.159 I'm gonna be pulling some grains. Guy. Yeah, well you 16 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.799 were eating healthy for a while, and you said you 17 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.159 sort of straight away a couple of times you've seen 18 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.959 the devil aka the big m the distance. No, I'm 19 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.040 not so much m man. Okay, yeah, just bread back 20 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.200 into bread. But what kind of bread are you eating? Though? Oh? 21 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.920 The sugary gume like wonder bread, wonder bread, square, wonder bread. 22 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.799 I was like, oh, we go easy on the carves, going, 23 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.400 he's back on the past on the rice, on the bread. 24 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.640 But then I realized sandwich I love sandwich, and I 25 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.799 was not a pad of wholemeal. You can't do it. 26 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.200 I'm sure a whole meal would probably be bulg me 27 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.760 up just as much as a plane on a white 28 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.239 bread board. I think it doesn't that like digest better 29 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.120 or something wholemeal. B I'm not sure I can conduct 30 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.560 the experience. It doesn't matter. There's worst things you could 31 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.599 be eating their bread. That is correct, yes. 32 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.920 But I think I think I'm still eating relatively healthy. 33 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:51.920 I'm not, you know, sort of having late night macas 34 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.760 binges or anything like that. But I'm not you know, 35 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:55.799 I'm not in dando shape. 36 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.159 I'm more of a bit of bread kind of guy. 37 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.079 I prefer wraps over sandwiches. Yeah, I think you know 38 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.599 what it is. I wouldn't say maybe I don't prefer them. 39 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.840 It's just I've eaten wraps now for so long, since 40 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.920 I went my footy days. That is, it's just what 41 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.800 I prefer now. I get where you're coming from. I 42 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.439 like a nice tutia tortilla. Yeah, they're a bit soft 43 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.639 for me. I like them a bit more hard. I do. 44 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.439 Like when you go to my my palas that would 45 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.919 oven geelong and you have a chicken souvlaki in the 46 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.599 Turkish bread. Oh, yes, delicious. But Pranks and Greens, you 47 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.039 discussed with me off the air that you were a 48 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.599 fan of this episode. You didn't think it was that great, 49 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.360 didn't think it was terrible. He wasn't great. I didn't 50 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.039 mind it. But before we get into our review of 51 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.439 Pranks and Greens, I must say that you know how 52 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.800 I'm normally Dando, but I'm no longer Dando. What are you? 53 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.479 I am our pals at Funker, we're referred to as 54 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.840 battle damaged Dandom, the chased area Dando. 55 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.120 Do you want to know why I do? Because then 56 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:46.960 I have a battle damaged anecdote in. 57 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.039 My own Oh okay, So last night on the couch, 58 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.719 Nicola and I were discussing things to get holy for Christmas. 59 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.120 She's big in too, baby born, she loves baby dollsves 60 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.159 being a mum. Basically, she wants to bath and blah 61 00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:57.840 blah blah. And I'm on Toys r US and I'm 62 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.439 buying the stuff and I said, Nichola'm passing the phone over. Pologies. 63 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.560 My back's broken. That's not the battle damage. I'm talking 64 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.400 about battle damage. That where my back's broken. But that's 65 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.719 because I fell asleep on the catch watching in the 66 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.360 wrestling paper of you on Saturday night and wake up 67 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.280 old man Dann. I couldn't move anymore, but I passed 68 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.120 my phone to Nikolas. She's like, yeah, that's good, drops 69 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.840 the phone. Unfortunately, our little man crashed. The cat was 70 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.280 sleeping in the middle, fell on his tail. He flung 71 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.080 up like a spring claws out, gone on directions seemed 72 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.639 like ear. Can you see the ear there? Oh, my goodness, 73 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.080 looked like you're the inside. Yeah, it looks like you 74 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.520 had like homemade piercing doune. Yeah. He basically grabbed onto 75 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.560 my ears and sort of like leapt off my head, 76 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:32.879 like grabbed into my head and then leapt off but 77 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.360 ripped my ears at the same time. Instant blood just 78 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.120 flying everywhere. I don't know. It wasn't the biggest gash, 79 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.280 but it was just blood everywhere. Something. Well, if it's 80 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:42.879 your head, I mean there's a lot of blood going 81 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.319 through it, he's must have a lot of blood in them. 82 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.520 So I'm battle damaged. Down down now, Oh my goodness. 83 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.000 And I wasn't. I was angry, but I was like, 84 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.719 don't be angry at him. He was just scared and 85 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.039 he's a cat. But man, oh man, when the cat 86 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:55.439 jumped on my head and used my head as a 87 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.960 springboard and ripping my ear open, I wasn't happy at all. 88 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.360 That's wholly understandable to a a cat man, as you know. 89 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.680 And basically the cat will occasionally jump on the bed 90 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.120 if I'm lying down there because something. I really was like, 91 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.120 what a blessing it is to think that your cat 92 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:12.360 feels safest. 93 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.159 When they're around you. It's like, no, that's true. 94 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.800 It wasn't get on the bed to be near me, 95 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.160 except jump on the bed and jumped onto my calf. 96 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.959 I was like, oh, this isn't the stable surface I 97 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.800 was expecting. I better claw into it. 98 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:34.879 Yeah, not good, terribly painful son cats pranks, but pranks 99 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.879 and greens. I mean when I said a battle damage 100 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.480 any I don't really. I was. I was working at 101 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.319 an establishment picking and packing toys. Was it fun? Actually 102 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:47.000 it was. 103 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.720 It was because the person on the next bench was 104 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.759 saying that it was a relative newbie and saying, oh, 105 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.480 should we send this? You know it looks like the 106 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.480 characters faces all dirty, and you know, oh, this is 107 00:04:58.519 --> 00:04:59.240 probably a smudge. 108 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.439 Whatever I said, No, this is this character is better 109 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.720 damaged Superman. I go, Superman is better levers. They look 110 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.360 at me like he does. 111 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:07.680 Of shit. 112 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.399 This is what passes. This is what passes entertainment and 113 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.800 knowledge that my current establishment. There's two stories to this 114 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.839 episode basically, and a guest stars our man. This is 115 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.319 a Throgan No, what's the other guys name? Jonnyhill as 116 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.600 a prankster who is now nineteen years old hasn't outgrown 117 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.199 his pranking day. So the story here is basically because 118 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.079 in this time twenty one of this air twenty ten, 119 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.279 ish was it when this episode ends? Have a look 120 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.680 at two thousand and nine. Pranks on YouTube are a 121 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.360 big thing, people pulling pranks and just being an overall 122 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.800 nuisance to society. You know, it won't the fun pranks 123 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.480 where it's just you know, pretending to fart and what 124 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.480 it was like doing genuine pranks that ruin things and 125 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.120 like genuinely just ruin someone's day and just just for 126 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.439 views on YouTube. So that's what one story here is. 127 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.279 As a prankster who Bart now looks up to because 128 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.000 Bart pools a prank and Skinner says, no, there was 129 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.199 one who was better than you. But then idolizes this 130 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:57.680 guy who's a prankster and then tries to get his 131 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.160 life back on track and he realizes, you know what, 132 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.079 this isn't the right part to be going down. Clearly 133 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:02.519 the writers have been pranked in the past, and they 134 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.759 weren't fans of pranksters. The other story is something that 135 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.160 I can relate to, maybe even yourself, but other mothers 136 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.839 judging you for what you feed your kids, right, and 137 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.759 the mantra of you've got to feed your kids the 138 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.839 most healthiest shit, got to really look out for them 139 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:18.160 when at the end of the day, you know what, 140 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.160 just meeting vegs do'll be fine. Doesn't have to be 141 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.959 organic this and fucking all that other stuff. I feel 142 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.680 like that story now is just as relevant now as 143 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.680 probably wasn't two thousand and nine, maybe just because I'm 144 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.480 my father now and I've experienced this where they go, oh, 145 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.360 now we don't feed our kids that. Now they're not 146 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.319 having that colored cordial and that kind of thing. I'm like, sure, whatever, 147 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.800 that's fine, but our kids are and they're perfectly fine. 148 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.079 Have you seen Elliot Bowler cricket ball? He's fine. But 149 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.199 so the other story is that Marge is being judged 150 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.000 by other fellow Midday Mummies go to Miday Mummies group 151 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.279 like a mother's group who want to feed their kids 152 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.360 nothing but healthy food, and Marge is just a normal mother, 153 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.600 feeding normal snacks and treats as most normal people do. 154 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.040 And I thought that story in particular to me, made 155 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.560 this feel like classic Simpsons, because classic Simps what they 156 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.480 did best was they might try to change to appear 157 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.000 better in the ideology of society in that time, right 158 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.160 or so, for example, here the midday Mummies, but by 159 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.319 the end of the episode, they're like, you know, what's good, 160 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.199 just being fucking normal. And it's reminded me of scenes 161 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.120 of Class Struggle where Marge was trying to impress these people. 162 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.720 At the end of the day they went to Chusteberger 163 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.079 for dinner. I get where you're coming from. 164 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.519 Yeah, it did strike me that they were sort of 165 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.839 erring on weird extremes of this, of this particular argument, 166 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.360 in that the second the Midday Mummies were really going 167 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.360 all out on Yeah, let's be completely organic, you know, 168 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.519 let's to quote the scenes from the Class Struggle, Yeah, 169 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.519 let's import our stakes through the New York or something 170 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.000 like that, or you know, let's get the most high 171 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.560 and expensive stuff, but the most organic and quite unquote 172 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:47.120 best for us. 173 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.160 Have you been to a mother's group? I never, It 174 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.639 ain't that far fetched, my friend. Oh okay, I mean, 175 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.519 obviously they've really blended up for comedic reasons, but I've 176 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.480 had genuine experiences where it has to be from what's 177 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.199 the place on packing issues, A whole is Geelong. Everything's 178 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.639 organic and it's homegrown, locally grown and all this other stuff. Basically, 179 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.959 if it's not grown in the Geelong region, we don't 180 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.959 feed it to our children. I've I've heard that before. 181 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.079 Okay then, and I know they're playing it up here 182 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.879 a lot, but you know, you go to various places 183 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.040 and it's soy this and soy that and organic this. 184 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.959 I just I love those buzzwords of organic. And you know, 185 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.399 you get to a restaurant now nothing. You to a 186 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.160 restaurant now, even a pub, and they can't just say 187 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.959 it's a parmy. It's just chicken breast with napoli, sauce 188 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:32.000 and cheese. It's got to be homegrown crumbed chicken snitzel. 189 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.000 Fucking blah blah blah. It's gonna have all these buzzwords 190 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.320 in front of it. It's just the way we are now. 191 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:36.759 Well yeah, I mean I figure, if you're going out 192 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.720 and you're paying top dollar, which you know you shouldn't 193 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.519 shout no no, but yeah, you might as well gussy 194 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:45.080 it up with all these fancy terms, which in the 195 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.240 end is are really just window dressing. 196 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:47.480 Yeah. 197 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.519 I mean, you're probably getting the same yeah chicken parmi 198 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:51.960 that you were, but now it's. 199 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:54.879 With a few buzzwords. Okay. 200 00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:56.559 I was talking about that end of the spectrum where 201 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.159 it's going like, oh, okay, you guys are going a 202 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.360 bit over the top with the goods starf that you're 203 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.519 feeding your kids. But it seemed like Marge, Yeah, when 204 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.559 she said fire to that stuff or that pile of snacks, 205 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.679 and yeah, it's like it doesn't look all that good 206 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.200 for you either. I mean, it kind of looked like 207 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.159 she's got the worst junk food. It seemed to me 208 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.639 like there was a lot of unfulfilled potential in this episode. 209 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.600 The sign of a SOSO episode, I've said this in 210 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.480 the past is when you start thinking about ways you 211 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.480 could improve it. And I'm no fucking expert, but I 212 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.759 was like, here's how I would have done this. Now, 213 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.519 we fix episodes all the time, but I don't know, 214 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.240 I sort of would have got a like I would 215 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:33.799 have taken like a bit of an invasion the body 216 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.720 snatches approach. When it came to the Monday Mummies group, 217 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.639 like one person's out saying, oh, I mean no, I 218 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.399 know they've got time constraints and all that, but have 219 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.399 one mother saying oh, but I'm feeding so and so this, 220 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.519 and yeah, say it's the alpha mum in the group, not. 221 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.679 March, and Julius seem to be the yeah yeah, yeah, maybe. 222 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.559 Not a bad idea, And then next time you see them, 223 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.679 two more have done that, and by the end they're 224 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.000 all sort of turned on March. Now merely that's probably 225 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.320 a full episode itself, not so much a bet plot, 226 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:01.720 but it seemed. 227 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.559 Like, so you reckon it. Have don't have them all 228 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.960 be so anti much. Have one be sort of health freak, 229 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.360 and the other ones go, oh, she followed it. And 230 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.039 then by the end there's a balance in between I 231 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.279 think so yeah, yeah, yeah uh. And and certainly when 232 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.840 it came to the a plot about the pranksters, Yeah, 233 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.360 Andy Hamilton. Andy Hamilton lay by Jona Hill played by 234 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:20.799 Jonah Hill. I don't know. 235 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.840 It struck me like, I like the core idea that yeah, 236 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.600 he was a kid, a prankster, he peaked in high 237 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:32.279 school essentially, and now he's just, you know, he's still 238 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.559 doing pranks. But it's like it's a little unbecoming now 239 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.759 that you're, you know, verging on adulthood and all that 240 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.879 kind of stuff, and but trying to help him find 241 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.480 his way. I know, it just didn't feel fully explored. 242 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:43.679 And fleshed out. To me. 243 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.600 It felt like everyone was sort of paying lip service 244 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.960 to the idea. And I wasn't a fan of Lisa 245 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.240 in this episode. Maybe I just felt seen, you know, 246 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.039 sort off, but all her loser stuff, it just felt 247 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:55.559 very Unleisa to me. 248 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.480 I know that she feel Unleisa, but it also there 249 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.000 was a line in the episode where March is sometimes 250 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.440 it's important that we have our faults pointed out to us, 251 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:06.759 and Lisa didn't go about it in the nicest way 252 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.200 by saying loser loser. I think they did that just 253 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:10.639 purely for the payoff at the end, which I thought 254 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.200 was a funny gag with a TV he's now because 255 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.960 Andy becomes a TV writer, he's now a loser. That's 256 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.000 just them poking fund it themselves. But the way she 257 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.080 went about it wasn't correct. But I do think people 258 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.200 who do that for a living, I mean some do 259 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.679 it for a living. If you're ruining people's day, I 260 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:27.759 don't agree with it. If you ever to make money 261 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.960 doing something on YouTube, which I think is just pointless. 262 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.159 People look at something the other day and some guy 263 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.159 it was on YouTube, right, and it popped up in 264 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.480 your you may like this, and I was like, I 265 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.360 don't know why, but it was man takes train from 266 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.240 Sydney to Melbourne. Is it worth it? 267 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:40.799 Right? 268 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.840 Two hundred thousand views? And I was like, you know what, 269 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:45.720 if you can make a living doing this shit, go 270 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.080 for it. You're not ruined anyone do it right? That 271 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.159 guy is not a loser, you know, he's just doing 272 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.960 making content. It's the ones that were being immature. I 273 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.720 think that's what they put more perking fun act here. 274 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.320 I guess so yeah, I mean, look this this episode 275 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.399 is two thousand and nine. It's sort of pre all 276 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:04.159 the YouTube snanding is that we're currently seeing, particularly people 277 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.360 who somewhere. 278 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.399 It was computely targeting. I thought it was two thousand 279 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.960 and nine. That was all that YouTube pranks, the coning 280 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.000 and stuff that was twenty ten. We remember, I don't 281 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.399 know what's coning again? Oh god, So there's a guy, 282 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.879 Uckie Stevens was his name. I ended up doing a 283 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.039 radio show with him. But he started to think where 284 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:23.639 he'd go to macas and he'd order an ice cream 285 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:27.399 cone and he grab it upside down. Remember planking was 286 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.759 a thing. Then he mak and then that's where coning 287 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.679 was formed, and he went viral on YouTube, became like 288 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.240 a million subscribers on YouTube, those kind of things. That 289 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:36.720 was two thousand and two and ten, Like this is 290 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.879 right in the era of immature, petty, ridiculous. It was 291 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.279 like it was the evolution of the jackass, the jackass era. 292 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:45.279 I was doing stuff with your mates, and it was like, 293 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.320 oh now we can Now we've got cameras on our phones, 294 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:48.799 we can film our stuff and put it on YouTube. 295 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.159 But he says a line, Andy Hamilton says, here in 296 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.039 my day the only option was local TV. Where now 297 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.799 you've got the idea of doing pranks for YouTube. 298 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.120 Okuess So yeah, look, time has just lost all meaning 299 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.559 for me. Yeah, I guess I was thinking of more 300 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.960 of I don't know names really spring to mind, but 301 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.360 you know people who just annoy people in public and 302 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.679 for the clicks essentially, you know, sort of going up 303 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:13.919 and sort of getting in people's faces while filming it and. 304 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.240 Or you know that's been happened since then. Man, yeah, 305 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.360 I know, I get the feeling. If Andy was doing 306 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.679 something like that at the at the end of this episode, 307 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.480 if he achieved online fame or YouTube fame by being 308 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.960 someone who was you know, going from pulling people's pants 309 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.480 down in public or something like that, and it's like, 310 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:32.480 oh my god. 311 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.559 Look at the cliqus brek up. Then Lisa's justified in 312 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.039 saying lose. I know, I get holy what you're saying 313 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.480 about the end. It's the writer's sort of poking fun 314 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.799 of themselves. This didn't feel Simpsons to me. 315 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.799 It felt like, again, more of a reaction the sort 316 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.000 of family guy and the humor at the time. It 317 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:47.879 didn't feel like the Simpsons were setting the pace. It 318 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.639 felt like it was responding to what was going on, 319 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:52.759 and not in a way there was like compounding on. 320 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.159 It's like, oh, we've got to compete with this, and 321 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:57.360 I don't know, just the whole time of the episode 322 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.720 just didn't quite sit right with me for some reason. 323 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.480 Now I'm not saying, oh I hate this, but it's like, yeah, 324 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.600 this doesn't feel the taste is quite not quite therefore interesting. 325 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:10.080 I quite liked Homer in this episode and the fact 326 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.159 that he despite not agreeing, not wanting to have to 327 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.240 eat healthy foods, he just went along with it anyway. Sure, 328 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.120 you know, he's working overtime, so we can buy some 329 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.279 fruit salads and things like that. And at the end 330 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.759 where Marge finds the precious, the precious what was it 331 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.320 called the stash the stash of foot. Yeah, so I 332 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.720 originally thought had my notes. It's disappointing that the healthy 333 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.720 eating story didn't really get an ending because Marginal I 334 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:31.440 thought it was going to be the kids would catch 335 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.399 the parents eating the junk food. I was like, you 336 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.919 know what, no, no, no, this is literally life. This 337 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.639 is Nikola and I. This is what happens when you're 338 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.759 a parent. You want to make sure your kids eat healthy, 339 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:42.519 but then when they go to bed, you go and 340 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:47.399 get KFC. You know, we've hit we've passed that peak. Man, 341 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:48.759 You know what I mean. It's like when your kids 342 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.200 you're growing, youre going to have the right foods, make 343 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.679 sure you grow correctly and your brain's functioning, so you're 344 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.759 learning in school and whatnot. So you try it. You 345 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.360 want to do your best for your kids in the 346 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.200 sense of feeding them the healthy foods. But then you know, 347 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.679 sometimes at the end of the day, tired and you're 348 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.120 you know what, I'm going to get kernel on the 349 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.960 line and just guessing KFC. So that story that that 350 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.240 ending there actually wasn't ending. That is literally life.
