Speaker 1: Sorry, no skating tonight.
Speaker 2: What to come here on Saturday night to clean the
Speaker 2: ice losers.
Speaker 3: Actually it's called curling. Players slid the heavy stones towards
Speaker 3: the circle or house as teammates controlled the direction and
Speaker 3: speed of the stone by sweeping in front of it
Speaker 3: with a special room march.
Speaker 4: It's perfect for both of us.
Speaker 1: It's got balling for me and sweeping for you.
Speaker 2: Four Finger Discounted.
Speaker 4: Welcome to four Finger Discount, where this week we hit
Speaker 4: the review Boy Mets Curl, which is kind of relevant
Speaker 4: now because we just had the Winter Olympics and here
Speaker 4: the Simpsons are on their way to Vancouver to apparently
Speaker 4: represent Team USA in curling.
Speaker 1: I'm Dando and I'm Guy, and I was about to
Speaker 1: say this episode is now irrelevant because the Winter Olympics
Speaker 1: have been over for some time.
Speaker 4: But were they ever relevant? Shout out to all of
Speaker 4: our Winter Olympians out there.
Speaker 1: Australia actually did quite well. Australia above its weight in
Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics. Given that we are not regarded as
Speaker 1: a particularly wintery country.
Speaker 4: We were all surprised when on the news vers they
Speaker 4: were going we we did well.
Speaker 1: We actually did well.
Speaker 4: That was what we want something we did. Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: who was the guy that won that race where everyone
Speaker 4: else fell over? And he's Steve somewere Steve, I want to.
Speaker 1: Say, Steve Bradbury.
Speaker 4: That's the one. Yeah, what an absolute champion.
Speaker 1: But it's funny watching the televised Australian coverage of the
Speaker 1: of the Winter Olympics, it was like, and here's Steve Bradrey.
Speaker 1: Every four years they go and visit this guy or
Speaker 1: I think lives up northern Queensland. I think he owns
Speaker 1: are put up in Queensland, the least wintery place in Australia,
Speaker 1: which is the least wintery place in the world. Well
Speaker 1: not necessarily, but you know what I mean. And yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got himself a new head of hair and all
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, and he's like speaking like a
Speaker 1: real authority. On the Winter Olympics, there was very much
Speaker 1: a thing was like he was kind of regarded as
Speaker 1: a lucky guy for everyone else in his race, kind
Speaker 1: of falling over. This speed skating event, goes through and
Speaker 1: wins a gold medals.
Speaker 4: He's not even like he doesn't feel bad about it either,
Speaker 4: But why should he He should not, because he is
Speaker 4: the thing.
Speaker 1: He's the thing that kept coming up both him and
Speaker 1: all his other fellow athletes were saying, what you're not
Speaker 1: seeing is the hours and hours and hours and years
Speaker 1: and weeks and months of effort that went into his
Speaker 1: training and his preparation and all that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: and really just came down to, you know, a bunch
Speaker 1: of people fall out. The other thing was, and this
Speaker 1: really sort of weirded me out about the Winter Olympics,
Speaker 1: but certainly when it came to speed skating and things
Speaker 1: like that, with people falling over as well, there's a
Speaker 1: chance that you will either nick yourself with your blades
Speaker 1: or someone else. I mean, there was some guy who
Speaker 1: actually really got his throat.
Speaker 4: Cut by skate have it in hockey a guy lost
Speaker 4: his life a couple of years ago, got slice on
Speaker 4: the neck, I believe. Yeah, it's scary.
Speaker 1: It looked pretty naily, yeah, I must admit. I mean
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge Olympics guy in general, but I
Speaker 1: kind of enjoyed watching these Winter Olympics. I mean, the
Speaker 1: sports are really sort of entertaining and fun. I saw
Speaker 1: none of them. Yeah, you know, doing the moguls, you
Speaker 1: gotta do a little flip in there as well, and.
Speaker 4: I'm with it. I always get really pumped for the
Speaker 4: actual Olympics as well the Summer Olympics, and then they're
Speaker 4: on and I just don't seem to watch as much
Speaker 4: as I think I'm going to, because it's like you
Speaker 4: watch any sport whenever you want live and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: where's the Simpsons marathon? That's what That's what the Olympics
Speaker 4: meant for kids. I mean the Fox that were like, well,
Speaker 4: no one's gonna be watching anything but the Olympics. Let's
Speaker 4: just spike the Simpsons.
Speaker 1: So this particular episode sort of was the best of
Speaker 1: all worlds for you, and it was like, Okay, we
Speaker 1: get that Winter Olympics feeling, but also Simpsons.
Speaker 4: I remember. It's funny. I couldn't remember the name Steve Bradby,
Speaker 4: but as soon as you said it, I remember. I
Speaker 4: think it was like year eight when it happened for me.
Speaker 4: I was in year eight. I remember we made a song,
Speaker 4: wouldn't it be nice to be Steve watching everybody fall over?
Speaker 1: More power to him? He's got that gold.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, indeed, apparently so margin Homer are good enough
Speaker 4: to represent America in Curly in this episode. I'm watching
Speaker 4: this going, I'm getting D two vibes My Ducks two
Speaker 4: because I watched this recently with the kids, and I
Speaker 4: love the My Ducks movies. No, nostalgia plays a big
Speaker 4: role in that. But I watched his going this bunch
Speaker 4: of riff raff representing team USA. How why they won
Speaker 4: a district league and now they're representing the country.
Speaker 1: What happens in D two? They've actually got sort of
Speaker 1: bumped up a notch too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've gone from District five the money Ducks. They've
Speaker 4: got the changes off to the Ducks and like, you
Speaker 4: guys are good, we like your story. You can represent
Speaker 4: Team USA at the Summer Olympics whatever it is that
Speaker 4: junior summer.
Speaker 1: Is it revealed any stage throughout D two because I
Speaker 1: have not watched it, Okay, you should then the death
Speaker 1: Strewn I watched it. I go, this is absolute ludicrous.
Speaker 1: But at any stage is there some cynical person going, hey,
Speaker 1: you guys are really that good. But we liked your
Speaker 1: story and we knew we could sell it. Oh and that,
Speaker 1: but that would then give the mry Ducks the motivation.
Speaker 1: Well we'll show them and actually did really well.
Speaker 4: No, they just get really ahead of themselves because they
Speaker 4: can beat all the other countries, and then they start losing.
Speaker 4: The coach Bombay starts having a love affair with the
Speaker 4: co coach of the Iceland team, so that in the
Speaker 4: first one it was the Hawks, they were all black,
Speaker 4: and then then this one it's it's the Iceland team
Speaker 4: and it's a guy. None of them are actually from Iceland,
Speaker 4: and they're putting on funny accents. I think, actually, I
Speaker 4: think the female is an Icelandic actress, but everyone else
Speaker 4: is just an American together, mate, your eyes on the prize.
Speaker 4: He gets ahead of himself. He's like, I'm a success
Speaker 4: financially now, and he's more interested in the perks of
Speaker 4: being famous as opposed to coaching the team.
Speaker 1: Oh, he lost he lost sight.
Speaker 4: He lost sight of what's what it means to be
Speaker 4: coach Bombay.
Speaker 1: But I guess if he found his way back by
Speaker 1: the end, but he does.
Speaker 4: Indeed, Yes, it was two and that's I think. When
Speaker 4: did the Animaheim Ducks become the Anaheim d.
Speaker 1: You're asking because usually I was google that they because
Speaker 1: they called Team USA in this movie.
Speaker 4: And at the end, like, I know how we can
Speaker 4: get back in this and they come out and they're
Speaker 4: all wearing Ducks jerseys like it's the Ducks are back.
Speaker 1: I'm watching who the fuck of the Ducks?
Speaker 4: And they'reart saying we will quack you.
Speaker 1: I'm going to take it back. I don't think I
Speaker 1: should watch t.
Speaker 4: Who played Keenan from Keenan and Cal Is on SNL.
Speaker 4: Keenan he's actually, of course it is. Yeah, he plays
Speaker 4: he plays the knuckle pot kid. It's just the little
Speaker 4: fat kid do they find at the local basketball court
Speaker 4: and he joins the guys done well.
Speaker 1: He's I don't know how long he's been on SNL
Speaker 1: all the time, like twenty something a year. Good for him?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, you find a gigstick to it. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: you said that SNL UK is starting, So I.
Speaker 4: Thought its already. Han't already? I had an episode or something.
Speaker 1: No, no, I think it starts. If not this week,
Speaker 1: then next week. They've imported like Tina f to be
Speaker 1: the host for the first episode.
Speaker 4: I saw someone like why now, why not forty five
Speaker 4: years ago when it might have been relevant? Now speaking
Speaker 4: of relevant, boy, Betsy, we've been recording, probably been five
Speaker 4: minutes now recording.
Speaker 1: That's the question. That's good becaues they recording down there?
Speaker 1: The red light means an rage. No, the numbers are
Speaker 1: ticking over were certainly recorded, like we went greed means girl?
Speaker 4: Right, is it actually recording?
Speaker 1: Okay, we're at We're at the seven minute.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good, okay, seven fifteen. So I haven't really
Speaker 4: written many detailed notes about this. When I was taking
Speaker 4: my notes last night for it, I again, I enjoy
Speaker 4: when Homer and marjor Good as a team together.
Speaker 1: Right. I knew you were going to say it, right.
Speaker 1: I was like, Dano will like this episode, or will
Speaker 1: like the foundation of this episode.
Speaker 4: I thought that this was going to become a Marge
Speaker 4: ends up despising Homer, and it almost does to an extent,
Speaker 4: but it came out of nowhere and unjustified. Yeah. She
Speaker 4: was just like, everything I do with you, it always
Speaker 4: ends it bad for me. And I'm like, wait, what,
Speaker 4: Literally thirty seconds ago you were saying how his love
Speaker 4: of your life and life's great with home, blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: Now you're saying this because you hurt your shoulder.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, admittedly, I think there's the germ of a
Speaker 1: good idea in that, in that you know these who
Speaker 1: have joined the curling team. One is better than the other,
Speaker 1: one is sort of holding the other up, or one's
Speaker 1: a bit of a bit of a passenger.
Speaker 4: How are they representing the country? That's my throw logic
Speaker 4: at them. Simpsons go to the Olympics, which.
Speaker 1: Not just why a Homer and margin? Why Edna and
Speaker 1: Seymour Edna Anes? Sorry, not ed?
Speaker 4: And that's another problem I have with this episode. Oh yes,
Speaker 4: just unnecessary hate towards Skinner all the time, to the
Speaker 4: point where this isn't funny. This is just she's a
Speaker 4: horrible person.
Speaker 1: Forgive the adult language here, but I've written down here. Wow,
Speaker 1: fuck Agnes, I'm sorry, she was just a terrible, terrible person.
Speaker 1: And then later on, I'm sorry that we'll get to
Speaker 1: it when we get to it, but unearned redemption out
Speaker 1: of nowhere, which is something you actually could have built on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was just like I've now realized that
Speaker 4: you know I love you? When when did you realize it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You hated in like last time we spoke to me.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, You've got I know You've only got twenty
Speaker 1: two minutes or however long this episode actually runs to
Speaker 1: tell this story. I'm sure there's these moments. Yeah, you've
Speaker 1: got to earn it. Like Tom Hanks said in Saving
Speaker 1: Priort Ryan, You've got to earn this.
Speaker 4: It did just feel like, you know, the Winter Olympics
Speaker 4: are on, let's tie it in. That was the whole
Speaker 4: point of this.
Speaker 1: So you've got these two parallel storyline. Well actually, I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I guess the A plot is is Homer
Speaker 1: and Marge at the Olympics, and the bat plot is
Speaker 1: Lisa getting addicted to Olympic pins.
Speaker 4: Like I said about that, I'm a better in saying
Speaker 4: that relatable. I look at the studio, I can I
Speaker 4: lie to just the idea of getting addicted to collecting
Speaker 4: ship and how easy it is because you see these
Speaker 4: things in the newspapers all the time. They go get
Speaker 4: this this day's or this month, so this week's pin
Speaker 4: or poster and stuff. As a kid, I was like,
Speaker 4: I've got to collect them all.
Speaker 1: Oh, look, you you're talking to someone who will spending
Speaker 1: far more time on eBay than he should or yeah,
Speaker 1: would have been buying blues yeah, blue rays. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because there are some that Amazon won't won't pick up, yeah,
Speaker 1: but eBay will. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I know eBay have done recently too. You watch something
Speaker 4: right and it will go just so you know someone
Speaker 4: else started watching this item. You're like, no, you know
Speaker 4: that traveled in his mind.
Speaker 1: The feeling you could spend you could probably exercise three
Speaker 1: to four minutes out of the Lisa is addicted to
Speaker 1: Olympic pins story and flesh out the relationship between see
Speaker 1: Moore and Agnes a bit more that storyline, or a
Speaker 1: bit more with margin Homer.
Speaker 4: So I was reading here on the wiki page that
Speaker 4: the original plan was for the Homer to be in
Speaker 4: a four man Bob sled team as a I guess
Speaker 4: a cool Runnings parody. I probably could have bought into
Speaker 4: that more than this, and it would have been confusing
Speaker 4: for You're doing a Winter Olympics episode the first ever
Speaker 4: time with the Winter Olympics, there was no couples or
Speaker 4: was no teamed curling event at the Olympics at that
Speaker 4: point in time.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So they basically had to invent a sport
Speaker 1: or a variation on.
Speaker 4: A sport the writers artistic license because although curling is
Speaker 4: an Olympic sport, mixed doubles, which is featured in the episode,
Speaker 4: was not an Olympic event at the time.
Speaker 1: This airing.
Speaker 4: It did debut eight years later. However, in the episode,
Speaker 4: it explained that the event is being held as a
Speaker 4: demonstration sport. They do say that I was wondering why
Speaker 4: it's a demonstration sport again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so curling is just so odd to me. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to understand the physics of it and just sort
Speaker 1: of can't get my head around it. It's entertaining and
Speaker 1: it's like hell yeah, I mean, it's got a real
Speaker 1: curiosity about what is this? What are you guys doing.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the people who do curling take it very,
Speaker 1: very seriously, particularly in Canada, where they love it or
Speaker 1: I don't love it, but you know, it's certainly taken seriously.
Speaker 1: There's a whole movie about it called Men with Brooms.
Speaker 4: Getting visions of like kids laying it home in their
Speaker 4: beds with posters of curlers well on the wadies box. Yeah,
Speaker 4: shout all the curlers out there.
Speaker 1: That I had. Props to you, guys and gals. I
Speaker 1: don't know, you maybe need a better representation than this episode.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wanted to like this episode more
Speaker 1: than I did because the things that you're bringing up
Speaker 1: that you disliked about it. There certainly things that I
Speaker 1: disliked about it, and particularly yeah, I think I think
Speaker 1: the ag and stuff really just left a bad taste
Speaker 1: in my mouth.
Speaker 4: I think they built to the problem. The problem is
Speaker 4: to happen in the second act, and the problem with
Speaker 4: March hourning it happened really near the end, and when
Speaker 4: the episode's over, you kind of go, did we even
Speaker 4: need that injury? Because yes, she uses her other arm,
Speaker 4: but it's it's all exactly the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah it didn't.
Speaker 4: It created like a moment of tension for like, it
Speaker 4: goes for like ninety seconds, the tension, and it's just like,
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm good with my other arm. I
Speaker 4: can do this.
Speaker 1: And you're like, why what I mean?
Speaker 4: I would might even need that because when they go
Speaker 4: we're having the forfeit ceremony and Marge goes not so fast.
Speaker 1: It's like that was it was so blinking you miss
Speaker 1: it very much.
Speaker 4: So if you went to the you literally turned off
Speaker 4: for like ninety seconds, you would forget that whole subplot
Speaker 4: of Marge's angry at home.
Speaker 1: Now I get the film. There's a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: good ideas in here. I mean, I don't dislike the
Speaker 1: notion of I mean, it's very far fetched about Agnes
Speaker 1: being a champion pole vaulter who whose dreams of Olympic
Speaker 1: glory were sort of quashed by Ah, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: pregnant and Seawa decides to kick one time and it
Speaker 1: knocks the bar of and oh I'd lose.
Speaker 4: We're going to discuss that scene as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the foundation, I like the the the
Speaker 1: core of that idea. It's like, I could have been great,
Speaker 1: but now I've got this baby, and that's that's the
Speaker 1: origins of my disdain from my son. Yeah, yeah, which
Speaker 1: is like a running gag. Now, admittedly, you've got to
Speaker 1: revert to the status quo as we always talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, it's always got to be the way that
Speaker 1: Agne is going to be, like seem why are you suck?
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, we've got to get back back to
Speaker 1: that at the end.
Speaker 4: The problem is we've seen them have redemption stories where
Speaker 4: they've got where she's gone. I'm sorry, I know I've
Speaker 4: been too tough on you in the past, so when
Speaker 4: you go back to it's kind of like we've been
Speaker 4: here before, We've done this before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean The best example of this kind of
Speaker 1: family dynamic, this kind of toxic family dynamic mother and
Speaker 1: son in particular, is in thirty Rock with Jack Donahan
Speaker 1: and Alibaman's character and his mum, who you know, she's
Speaker 1: constantly on his constantly yeah yeah, and she's and he's
Speaker 1: giving it back to her as well, and the moments
Speaker 1: when they do sort of bond, it's like, oh, you
Speaker 1: guys are similar enough. We can see that you actually
Speaker 1: do love each other. You know, the fact that you're
Speaker 1: so hateful makes you love each other, but occasionally you'll
Speaker 1: direct that hate at each other. With these two, I'm
Speaker 1: just I don't understand it, and I certainly don't understand
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 4: Episode with comedy, particularly when it comes to like, you know,
Speaker 4: someone being mean to another, if you're feeling sympathetic towards
Speaker 4: the other person, it's not funny anymore. No, And I
Speaker 4: was found myself feeling sympathetic towards Skinner this entire time,
Speaker 4: even making the jokes of you know, this unconscious reflex
Speaker 4: reflex in the in utero that was you know, inconceivable.
Speaker 4: It's like, no, it wasn't like it's sad that got
Speaker 4: yourself a breakman. Yeah, and I just it wasn't even
Speaker 4: coming across as a simp. He was just coming across
Speaker 4: as a victim of abuse. Essentially, wasn't here much and
Speaker 4: she had there was no justification for it, the way
Speaker 4: she was young at him all the time, and I
Speaker 4: was went and then at the end she just goes.
Speaker 4: I thought, when you fucked up at the end when
Speaker 4: the stick broke, and she's like, oh, I realized I
Speaker 4: love you now. I thought there was gonna be some
Speaker 4: sort of rug pull here, and now she's no, it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take it for pizza and icegain. And I
Speaker 4: was like, when did this happen? We didn't even get
Speaker 4: like the the tease of her potentially changing her mind,
Speaker 4: seeing the error of her ways. It's just like on
Speaker 4: what she likes him now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What So that didn't make a whole lot of sense. Yea,
Speaker 1: So yeah, when you've got this redemption moment at the end,
Speaker 1: so well you're not you think you're stick in the
Speaker 1: landing here you're not. And likewise almost with Homer as well.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would have liked the idea of these
Speaker 1: two working together all the way through. Maybe one's better
Speaker 1: than the other. As I pointed out earlier, you know,
Speaker 1: Marge is the real sort of the real driver here
Speaker 1: and Homer's doing his best, which it's probably it was
Speaker 1: one of my favorite moments. Oh he tries his best. Well,
Speaker 1: that's why he's never going to get any better. At
Speaker 1: the end, Homer didn't even really have to try. He
Speaker 1: was so good. No, I mean, it would have been
Speaker 1: nice for him to sort of like, oh, Marge's trying
Speaker 1: to say, I need to try more, I need to
Speaker 1: do it, give him a little bit of a win.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know this is mostly Marge's win, but
Speaker 1: it felt like, yeah, we always talk about say I
Speaker 1: think we bringd the Fraser example, it's like, stop treating
Speaker 1: this guy like a three legged dog, giving a little
Speaker 1: pet on the head for the for the effort or whatever.
Speaker 1: I felt that way about Homer in this. It's like
Speaker 1: you should be trying a bit harder. And you mentioned
Speaker 1: that as Quoe before.
Speaker 4: If I'm writing this episode right, and I could be wrong,
Speaker 4: but it all take is just one line. But you
Speaker 4: need to explain why margin Homer are retiring from the
Speaker 4: sport now because you watch this and you go they
Speaker 4: have just one gold at the Olympics. Why would they
Speaker 4: not continue to Why would hon't I go back to
Speaker 4: the power plan? Why would margin go back to being
Speaker 4: a house Why they're not international athlete superstars?
Speaker 1: Now that's right, Yeah, because they seem so into it.
Speaker 4: Explain why they're not going to be doing in the
Speaker 4: next episode. That's not just not just that they're good
Speaker 4: at it, they're best in the world. Yeah, but they're
Speaker 4: also yeah, really into it as well. They found something
Speaker 4: they like.
Speaker 1: Doing together, So why would they started doing inside jokes
Speaker 1: about curling and everything? Yeah, makes sense.
Speaker 4: Just just give us something. It can be illogical, but
Speaker 4: just something to justify why they wouldn't continue doing it,
Speaker 4: or even do one of.
Speaker 1: Those cheap Simpsons gags kind of like, yeah, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would take anything. Yeah, yeah, I'll take a
Speaker 4: copy out over nothing. I did like though, that they
Speaker 4: didn't mock curly because I feel like a lot of
Speaker 4: people see curly as sort of like a joke sport.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I know, I did for the longest time until I've
Speaker 4: watched it and I went, oh shit, Yeah, these guys
Speaker 4: actually really talented, and I think the Simpsons it was
Speaker 4: important that they didn't mock it. Yeah, because I don't
Speaker 4: think when you're having a time with the Winter Olympics,
Speaker 4: you don't want to be mocking the spot.
Speaker 1: So absolutely not, because I mean, you look at other
Speaker 1: Winter Olympic sports, it's like, holy shit, these guys are
Speaker 1: going incredibly quickly when they're skiing, or oh my god,
Speaker 1: you could cut your throat with those skin with those
Speaker 1: skates when you're at speed skating, or you know, you
Speaker 1: look at figure skating, it's like, these guys are incredible athletes.
Speaker 1: I mean watching the figure skating during the most recent
Speaker 1: Winter Olympics, there was some guy who I think, you know,
Speaker 1: the judge will say, always one of the best in
Speaker 1: the world. You know, this is fantastic. He's probably this
Speaker 1: is his to lose or whatever. And he took a
Speaker 1: tiny bit of a tumble. It's like, oh, that's no
Speaker 1: good for him. Then he got it wasn't like a
Speaker 1: career anything or even around anything, but oh, that's going
Speaker 1: to take some points off. The guy instead just did
Speaker 1: like an absolute flip recovered what the I mean, a
Speaker 1: literal flip in the air.
Speaker 4: It's like, I mean like you've recovered though, like oh yeah,
Speaker 4: he need recovered. He was like, oh, Okay, yep, no,
Speaker 4: give that guy the goal. Wow, the shyla buff standing of.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but I'm I agree with you one hundred
Speaker 1: percent about how they they treated curling with. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: respect it deserves.
Speaker 4: My favorite favorite memos in the episode, mister Davis didn't
Speaker 4: have that many. I thought you would have liked the
Speaker 4: wise guy guy from the Olympics who had what you
Speaker 4: call the dealer. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, actually here's one of my Lisa's like, oh
Speaker 1: can I oh that pin? I really want it? Can
Speaker 1: I have it? On account of account I wanted I
Speaker 1: suppose to hear that one. No, I just wasn't funny
Speaker 1: the first day. Yeah, and I'm like, oh he's a
Speaker 1: Canadian wise that's great, So I didn't. I did enjoy
Speaker 1: that bit.
Speaker 4: Do you think of the little girl being a guy.
Speaker 4: That seems like a gag that they pull what Yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1: You've got a little person in the sky.
Speaker 4: But Burns air was when they did it, because that's
Speaker 4: he was Lisa in disguise.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it was okay, Yeah, it was liked it.
Speaker 4: That was one of my favorites. I like that guys.
Speaker 4: I thought he was pretty pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the other thing I liked was when Skinner
Speaker 1: rocked up on a on a Saturday or something or
Speaker 1: did a home visit and but it's all upset. No, no,
Speaker 1: my cargo pants, my cargo pants in the case, I'm
Speaker 1: not here on school business. I'm here in cool business
Speaker 1: as someone who has cargo pants. Yeah, I can dig it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and marched as this slid in or something that
Speaker 4: was girling reference.
Speaker 1: But it's like I liked.
Speaker 4: The two letters and a two letters and a conference
Speaker 4: before visit, but not it's the score. I also didn't
Speaker 4: mind the Curly trials, Oh various Curlyes. And then I must.
Speaker 1: Admit, though, I mean when when's the release date of
Speaker 1: this episode?
Speaker 4: This episode originally ends to Davis one fourteen Valentine's a
Speaker 4: Day in twenty ten amongst the Winter Olympics.
Speaker 1: I know the Three Stooges are immortal, but having said that,
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how sort of you know.
Speaker 4: I've never seen a single episode of the Three Stooges.
Speaker 1: Would audiences watching The Simpsons in twenty ten be all
Speaker 1: that familiar with Curly? Do you think and the Stooges?
Speaker 4: Is it the classic example?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 4: I don't think the Simpsons writers care, and they probably
Speaker 4: should because that the Three Stooges are one of those
Speaker 4: things where if you don't know about them, you probably should. Right,
Speaker 4: they're iconic when it comes to pop culture. If you
Speaker 4: don't get it as an example of a kick going,
Speaker 4: what's that all about?
Speaker 1: And you might do some research on it. True, Having
Speaker 1: said that, I think they might have dragged out the
Speaker 1: whole Curly thing. Just it's like, the kids all love
Speaker 1: these jugs about the Three Stooges and particularly Curly.
Speaker 4: But you could have just had Mo walk up a
Speaker 4: lot sooner. I didn't mind that, or even.
Speaker 1: Just have it as throw away gag, you know, just
Speaker 1: sort of pan past Curly auditions and have someone going.
Speaker 4: Well, I looked down for a second to write some
Speaker 4: lets looked up and I'm like, I just saw the
Speaker 4: Moor partner.
Speaker 1: What the heck? What did I do this?
Speaker 4: Going on? Next question? You there eating the baste trivia

Speaker 1: It they still got to get four of the seven.
Speaker 1: It's the Necklace of Amulets. Harry Potter, the Necklace of Amulets,
Speaker 1: not a real Harry Potter.

Speaker 4: Wear review Mister Davis of Boy Meets Curl the Original Editor,
Speaker 4: as I said, was February fourteenth, twenty and ten. The
Speaker 4: top three films at the US box office. The Wolfman
Speaker 4: was number three, Percy Jackson in the Olympians, The Lighting
Speaker 4: Thief Sorry Percy Jackson, and number one was as you
Speaker 4: can imagine.
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. Oh, Valentine's Day was a hit. On Valentine.
Speaker 4: We went through an ear, didn't we. Valentine's Day Day,
Speaker 4: Mother's Day. Love actually kicked that trend off, didn't it.
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah. I think they were all directed
Speaker 1: by the same guy, Gary Marshall, a pretty woman fame.
Speaker 1: So it was Valentine's Day in New Year's Day? Was
Speaker 1: there another one? There was Mother's Day?
Speaker 4: Mother's Day as well?
Speaker 1: Was that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you didn't get to a Father's Day.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. No, no chalkboard gag, but we
Speaker 1: did have. We did a Chitty Chitty Bang bang or
Speaker 1: a version thereof, as they came across their coping through.
Speaker 1: And yes, and the couch gag wasn't really a couchy
Speaker 1: gag either. I had to do with tarot cards.
Speaker 4: Yes, in a psychic reading that Grandpa has. After the
Speaker 4: psychic deals to death card, which is Maggie, Grandpa pushes
Speaker 4: it back toward her and she falls over dead.
Speaker 1: About a tarot card reading, No, I've had one. It
Speaker 1: proved semi sort of accurate in a lot of ways. Like,
Speaker 1: but then you will have deep regret you're doing it
Speaker 1: all wrong.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, oh okay, it's like you've known me
Speaker 4: all my life. The episode was written by Rob Lezebnik
Speaker 4: and directed by Chuck Sheets.
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that Chuck Sheets is
Speaker 1: really now.
Speaker 4: I know you said this before. Yeah, no, I believe it.
Speaker 4: Chuck Sheets. He didn't need a white fog Scooby Doo
Speaker 4: and stuff, look this up? American director animated animation director
Speaker 4: know for his work on The Simpsons. What's New Scooby Doo?
Speaker 4: My kids love that. Do you know how the Scooby
Speaker 4: Dooby do so?
Speaker 1: Simple?
Speaker 4: Plan that the band, the pop punk band whatever they are,
Speaker 4: did this song for what's Scuby do Wow? Bangerby do?
Speaker 4: The kids put it on? Like I want to hate this,
Speaker 4: but I can't. It's one thing kids shows do really well,
Speaker 4: as they hire pop punk and they fucking nail it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Like Patrick Stump does all the spidery stuff, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: this is a genuine soundtrack that I would probably buy,
Speaker 4: Like he does really good work.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe I'll buy it for you for your best.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe please do so. And Recess the cartoon that
Speaker 4: I never really got into. I think I was just
Speaker 4: a little bit too old for it by the time
Speaker 4: it was released. But they're preparing the they're preparing March
Speaker 4: the kids are for her at date night, and how
Speaker 4: they're preparing her.
Speaker 1: Well, Lisa is giving her a sprits of a perfume
Speaker 1: and Art is telling her she doesn't look fat in
Speaker 1: that dress. HM.
Speaker 4: Correct, Indeed he does so unenthusiastically. Yeah, And Lenny and
Speaker 4: Carl are preparing home for his date as well. And
Speaker 4: I've just written here I like that, despite their misuse
Speaker 4: in recent times, Lenny Carson to always have homes back always.
Speaker 4: Therefore burns and walks in and says they can't leave
Speaker 4: until they find the leak in the heavy water piping facility.
Speaker 4: It seems like a real elaborate thing reason for them
Speaker 4: to stay back, right, which you never see them actually do. No,
Speaker 4: it's like something that seems it seems like escapades could
Speaker 4: ensue in here. Go in there and it's like there's
Speaker 4: water leak and there's pipes. It's dark, the lights are flickering.
Speaker 4: We don't see any of it. It's just they going
Speaker 4: to stay back. You could have just said you stay
Speaker 4: back because you have to anyway, But he's.
Speaker 1: Gone, Well, it seems like, oh, well, this is a
Speaker 1: task it's going to take for one Therefore, Yes, date
Speaker 1: night is ruined.
Speaker 4: And therefore Homer says, you please date night? Can I
Speaker 4: please not stay here? And Burn says, I know it's
Speaker 4: date nights. I'm going on a date with Princess Wilhelmina
Speaker 4: from Prussia on Prussia, it's not He's going to pop
Speaker 4: the question where is the Kaiser's gold? Marge is waiting
Speaker 4: sadly watching the Real Housewives of Cholbyville. Rosemary I believe
Speaker 4: has had her left boob produced because her husband missed
Speaker 4: date night. And my first note here was we're doing
Speaker 4: another one of these storylines back to back where Homer
Speaker 4: is late for something in ruins that night.
Speaker 1: For March correct is and also Homer just call.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's twenty ten, guys. People have phones. Homann gets
Speaker 4: home and apologizes for being so late. He says, we
Speaker 4: can still catch a movie. It will still be romantic,
Speaker 4: and they go and see love.
Speaker 1: What's it called?
Speaker 4: Oh, formulaically, that's right, yes, But unfortunately though, as what
Speaker 4: happens when you go to a movie, it's never peaceful anymore.
Speaker 1: Well no, no, I mean people are tending to treat
Speaker 1: the theater like their living room. They're on their phone
Speaker 1: speaking in they're using their outside voice inside.
Speaker 4: Having arguments, domestics.
Speaker 1: And the worst thing is Ben ben Affleck is in
Speaker 1: the movie that you are choosing to watch. I didn't
Speaker 1: mind that gag as much as we love Ben Afflecken
Speaker 1: catching strays. Affleck I did like Marchie, I can't hear
Speaker 1: the ad telling you want to be quiet, and then
Speaker 1: Homer says, we're going to enjoy this movie no matter
Speaker 1: what says starting Bet affleck that's it. We're out here.
Speaker 1: Because in twenty ten, was was he copying straight?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I think he's. I think Athlete's back. Who was Argo
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, I think so. I think he's I think
Speaker 1: he's made the town. By twenty ten.
Speaker 4: Everyone remembers for that scene with the cops, he rocks
Speaker 4: up and then look at him. Not today, it doesn't
Speaker 4: I don't think even shakes his head. He just turns,
Speaker 4: just drives away. But you can see athletic. He's wearing
Speaker 4: the mask, but you can see him behind that mask
Speaker 4: acting is dude, Come on, man, I don't want to
Speaker 4: do this. And I wonder if that's ever happened in
Speaker 4: reality where they've rocked up a cops scene it and
Speaker 4: they've gone we'll give you the chance of fucking go.
Speaker 4: Don't thing that would really happen.
Speaker 1: You'd have to think so, right.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I feel like, once you're in that deep,
Speaker 4: if a CoP's there, you just got to go for it,
Speaker 4: right and just sort of take him out. You can't
Speaker 4: take any chances, I think so. I guess if you've
Speaker 4: got a mask on, we.
Speaker 1: Are talking about Boston. Yeah, that's true. The Town was
Speaker 1: in fact released in twenty eighth. It was ten okay y,
Speaker 1: but Little was at the point for his career. It
Speaker 1: was the second movie he directed, so he made Gone Baby,
Speaker 1: Gone of years earlier. I was like, Wow, this guy
Speaker 1: can actually make movies. Yeah, we like you, Ben Affleck.
Speaker 1: We like you.
Speaker 4: We liked you and we didn't or we didn't like
Speaker 4: you associated with Now we like you again, Yeah, and
Speaker 4: then we didn't. Was that pretty much?
Speaker 1: And then we did again something like that. Yeah, everyone
Speaker 1: gets into the firing Light. Our boy shall May is
Speaker 1: currently in it.
Speaker 4: How dare you badmouth?
Speaker 1: Which you didn't even do. That's the story for another time.
Speaker 4: Marsha, she just wants romance and they're driving around they
Speaker 4: find out a romance. Yeah, romance, yes, as well, and
Speaker 4: she's she's a hotty.
Speaker 1: She's not a dude. So this bromance has got interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, then he finds they find an ice rink, skates
Speaker 4: and such. Thursday night is clockwise night, and Homer says,
Speaker 4: March is happy a spot that encourages handholding. So should
Speaker 4: we go commando or wear mittens? What are you doing
Speaker 4: mitten's or commando? I don't like wearing gloves at the
Speaker 4: best times. I'm not a gloves guy.
Speaker 1: Given them what we've just been saying about about ice
Speaker 1: skates though, and how sharp they are. I mean to
Speaker 1: get the feeling if I but all I'm clumsy, notoriously, so.
Speaker 4: They've got to be slice proof gloves and all.
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, mittens wouldn't help. I don't think I
Speaker 1: get the really nothing when ruined date, like like me
Speaker 1: losing a digit by falling over or me, you know,
Speaker 1: cutting up one of the lovely Luis's fingers with my
Speaker 1: clumbliness is what I'm saying. I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think she'd go too well with that. I think it
Speaker 1: might be the last straw off.
Speaker 4: I realized that they realized here that unfortunately it's closed
Speaker 4: for curling and Homer then realized that Waitnue, this is
Speaker 4: good we both of us. Is bowling for me and
Speaker 4: sweeping for you kind of a sexist joke, but I'm
Speaker 4: going to go with it. Yeah, well with March as
Speaker 4: a proud housewife. That's the thing, that's the thing, yes home,
Speaker 4: and then goes on a really random posh tangent about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which I did not like. What what's the point
Speaker 1: of this? It's got the sort of the tagline. There's like, well,
Speaker 1: this is like when you're like when you don't drink.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, this is not like him.
Speaker 4: Ever, hesn't he hasn'ten drinking his whole time. He's been good,
Speaker 4: You've loved on this date. He does this random speech
Speaker 4: what is happening here? But then we get a montage
Speaker 4: and then bonding over curling. They're having a great time
Speaker 4: and they drive off from the zamb I love that name.
Speaker 1: Zam Bonie.
Speaker 4: What a neighbor on a xam bonie we're still still
Speaker 4: married on the back, which I thought was nice.
Speaker 1: Now I I like this. I like the fact that
Speaker 1: they are sort of they found something they do together
Speaker 1: and that they enjoy doing together. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: This felt like the episode working overtime to say, you know,
Speaker 1: these guys still love each other, right, It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: a really performative couple who were putting up social media,
Speaker 1: so about that, still together, Still go on stran It's like,
Speaker 1: give it another year.
Speaker 4: We Nicole and I, well more so me Nicholas starting
Speaker 4: to join in. We mock people when they you know,
Speaker 4: it's like the eighth anniversary, ninth anniversary, and they post
Speaker 4: a message to the person, but post it to their
Speaker 4: Facebook wall and it's like, happy anniversary, sweetheart. I wouldn't
Speaker 4: know what I'd do with it. Blah blah blah. It's
Speaker 4: like you sent that message while you're sitting next to
Speaker 4: her on the couch. She couldn't just tell them that
Speaker 4: you have to let the world know. Hey, guys, guess what.
Speaker 1: I love her.
Speaker 4: I love her. Guys, you know she's mine. I love her.
Speaker 4: Don't don't worry.
Speaker 1: Are still I'm as guilty of as as the next person.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I mean there are people
Speaker 1: who do it far too frequently.
Speaker 4: Because I said to Nikola this year anniversarial, I'm like,
Speaker 4: do you want me to put one of those post
Speaker 4: She's like She's like, there was a time when I did,
Speaker 4: and now I don't. She's like, I just I don't
Speaker 4: need I don't need anyone to know that. I.
Speaker 1: I will do anniversary stuff once a year on Instagram.
Speaker 1: That's the only time I really use Instagram. And but
Speaker 1: there that's it. I'll do anniversary stuff once a year.
Speaker 1: That's because it happens once a year. Wow, go, I
Speaker 1: think it outside the bus I was leaving.
Speaker 4: I'm like, see all the other part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, will you you think he's going to catch that?
Speaker 1: You see guy's brains that little it's like the bear
Speaker 1: in the car doing this. We now return you to
Speaker 1: boy meets Girl already in progress.
Speaker 4: Agnes is impressed with Marger's skills. Marsha's has been training
Speaker 4: her whole life. She once swept red wine off of
Speaker 4: a white carpet, and they asked them both to join
Speaker 4: their team and kick the wighams off as a result,
Speaker 4: Coral Wiggans in their bodysuits. Yeah weeks of course, sir,
Speaker 4: wign look to right. No bodysuits, that's your problem, my mind.
Speaker 4: They tell the kids about how much they love curling,
Speaker 4: and the kids kind of like most people is curling
Speaker 4: a real thing. Are making this up? Then Skinner arrives
Speaker 4: and as we're saying, bust, there's two letters at a
Speaker 4: conference before you a home visit. This isn't fair, and
Speaker 4: he says he's wearing cargo pants. They indicate that he's
Speaker 4: on cool business, not school business. And Marge makes a
Speaker 4: really bad reference as well, saying you slid in. The
Speaker 4: Olympics have now announced, by the way, that the mixed
Speaker 4: curling at the next one drill of the buses is
Speaker 4: now a thing, and Homer and visions Santa diving into
Speaker 4: ice cuz he doesn't what the winter of the mixings are,
Speaker 4: so he dives into ice, gets stuck under the ice.
Speaker 4: Penguins are the judges stupidity? We come back and then
Speaker 4: they say they're going to the trials.
Speaker 1: Yes, while you are off in your little reverie. See
Speaker 1: most told.
Speaker 4: Us this, We're going to the trials, and Homer envisions
Speaker 4: again as they go and get a coffee. Margin asks
Speaker 4: Agnes why she's so harsh on a Skinner, and she
Speaker 4: says love has nothing to do with winning. She talks
Speaker 4: about the Soldier Boy, Soldier Boy Jesus Christ had flashbacks
Speaker 4: and Soldier Boy how he was on leave from Korea
Speaker 4: and they had a fifty style relationship. Well he's Superman
Speaker 4: that oh apparently, yes it did indeed. Yeah, then the
Speaker 4: baby bump ruined her pole vaulting career. She was going
Speaker 4: to be an athlete in pole vaulting. She was very successful,
Speaker 4: but then he tried he kicked and caused the what
Speaker 4: is it just the bar? Yeah, yeah, to fall off
Speaker 4: and she didn't win. And she tells Marge not let
Speaker 4: her feelings get in the way, and she says, well,
Speaker 4: I think. She says, you don't get medals for being
Speaker 4: a loving wife, and margely, well they should, Well they don't.
Speaker 4: I'm like Marge's love for Homer. He just seems to
Speaker 4: be ott for the sake of the story.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, like I was saying earlier and the whole
Speaker 1: what was he saying? Oh, he's what do you like
Speaker 1: a minute? Always cute? Now what do you think? Something
Speaker 1: like that?
Speaker 4: But the National Curly Trails are happening a trial, sorry,
Speaker 4: happening right next to the National curling Trials. We'll get
Speaker 4: the mo appearance. Yeah, it's almost like h has a
Speaker 4: random Moe rocking up saying something silly and walking off
Speaker 4: again appearance. Then the we think as a girl gives
Speaker 4: Lisa the Chilbert pin, one of four Winter Olympic mascot pins,
Speaker 4: and she says, don't worry, she just let you know
Speaker 4: this collecting pins can.
Speaker 1: Be very addictive.
Speaker 4: Then Lisa sees the store and she has the vision
Speaker 4: of them saying by us with Marni. And turns out
Speaker 4: the girls actually a guy from a cruise ship. Or
Speaker 4: is this a reference to anything?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't think so. It was bizarre.
Speaker 4: Then Homer throws too hard, but Marge thankfully has the
Speaker 4: skills to turn the kinetic energy back into potential energy,
Speaker 4: and they're off to Vancouver for the actual Winter Olympics.
Speaker 4: Indeed very quick. Yeah Olympics.
Speaker 1: Don't blink and you might miss it.
Speaker 4: They now arrive in Vancouver where you come for the
Speaker 4: film tax credits and stay for the marijuana. And then
Speaker 4: here we get the reference to the Simpsons movie. Okay,
Speaker 4: it's the crazy lady. You don't remember her, not really
Speaker 4: in the second Well, that's the whole reason I stopped.
Speaker 4: It's the point of Simpsons movie where I stop enjoying it.
Speaker 4: When Homer goes and had an epiphany with because Marge
Speaker 4: leaves him and she tapes over the wedding tape.
Speaker 1: You know that scene?
Speaker 4: Yes, I know that, And then he go he wanders
Speaker 4: off into the Alaska and then he comes across this
Speaker 4: woman who is just like in her TP or whatever,
Speaker 4: and she gives him some special medication and he has
Speaker 4: like an hallucination. And that's pretty much what was happening here.
Speaker 1: I had honestly forgotten about all that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And the thing is, it's been three years since
Speaker 4: the Simpsons movie. But I guess because he went to Canada,
Speaker 4: they thought it'd be a fun tie in. I just
Speaker 4: kind of went off forever and wasn't funny. They didn't
Speaker 4: go anywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't remember her. I remember a
Speaker 1: fair bit about the Simpsons movie. I don't remember that bit.
Speaker 4: There was just a whole part of the Simpsons movie
Speaker 4: with it. It's like going oh yo and just doing
Speaker 4: weird chants with each other, and you're like, I remember
Speaker 4: sitting in the cinema going what are we even doing?
Speaker 4: What is this?
Speaker 1: What is this happen?
Speaker 4: You would? You were going so well, Simpsons movie, what
Speaker 4: the hell happened here?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Then Bob Costas is at the twenty ten Vancouver Games,
Speaker 4: introducing everybody actually voiced Bob.
Speaker 1: Costas veteran commentator.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he says, in Beijing they chose director who
Speaker 4: Jiang Yimu, And in Canada they have chosen.
Speaker 1: Ivan Rightman was brought to you.
Speaker 4: Films such as Ghostbusters. Indeed, introducing all the athletes to
Speaker 4: the Ghostbusters theme.
Speaker 1: They are a bit rough on Ivan Rightman. They're also
Speaker 1: Canada's most famous director, isn't that David Cronenberg? It?
Speaker 4: Oh, I would say, so what did he?
Speaker 1: What did he directed? Directed The Fly? Oh? What else? Scanners,
Speaker 1: The Brood, Crash, Video Drome, Dead Ringers, History of Violence,
Speaker 1: Eastern Promises.
Speaker 4: I think if you went into a room and named
Speaker 4: all those movies and then named Ghostbusters, which film?
Speaker 1: Do you think that was just being That was just
Speaker 1: me being a nerd?
Speaker 4: So your favorite director? Yes, as opposed to the most
Speaker 4: famous director. I mean Ivan Ruyman did also produce Space Jam.
Speaker 1: Sir, correct, But there was a direct to kindergoten Cap
Speaker 1: did he? Oh? Yeah? What else? And Twins and Junior?
Speaker 4: Is he did all those? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you watched The Late Show, right, The Great
Speaker 1: Australian comedy. Yeah, when they did the bit where Tony
Speaker 1: Martin came dressed as Old Schwartz and he was like,
Speaker 1: I made comedies with Ivan, rightman a genius.
Speaker 4: Junior what a crazy.
Speaker 1: Con Oh my god, was a pregnant man. I mean,
Speaker 1: twins are hilaria?
Speaker 4: How many times twins I've never seen Junior though, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You can live with that, Junior. I think there's a
Speaker 1: reason people go he made twins in kindergarten cop and
Speaker 1: also Junior. Yeah, but you know the story about twins though, right,
Speaker 1: is that apparently I think you've told me, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: the pitch meeting was just Schwarzenegger the Vito twins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, aliens Chip.
Speaker 1: Making a dollars man.
Speaker 4: That is amazing, that story. I'll never get tired of
Speaker 4: hearing that one. But Bob, as I said, so, he's sorry,
Speaker 4: I'm running interesting. All the athletes to the Ghostbusters theme,
Speaker 4: you know, rasped me by the end, because so many countries.
Speaker 1: Who are gonna call? Yes? Yeah.
Speaker 4: They then released the Canadian dove, which is the beaver,
Speaker 4: and then chew the flame pole and yeah, anyway, went
Speaker 4: out the Olympic village. Well you like that one, and
Speaker 4: Barta's found a new friend in Milhouse.
Speaker 1: Hey, Lee, want to come with I'm snowboarding with my
Speaker 1: new Canadian friend Milhos. Who Bert, your sister's hotter than
Speaker 1: a Calgary brush fire? Mind if I ask a Rooge? Sorry,
Speaker 1: but I was planning to stop by the Olympic Pin
Speaker 1: Center to fill in a few small gaps in my collection,
Speaker 1: you know, just to get me through the day. She says,
Speaker 1: looney as a one dollar coin a hooser, what's some
Speaker 1: Canadian club boy? I thought that was a pretty funny
Speaker 1: joke about Canadian club but I'm sucker for a good
Speaker 1: pun like that.
Speaker 4: Yes, Homer is now raiding the buffet, and the skinners
Speaker 4: are saying that he's dragging them down. They went Homer
Speaker 4: off the team. Marshalls, well, who made you coach? The hat?
Speaker 4: The hat makes me coach? He says, I'm the coach.
Speaker 4: Homer then slides off because you ever, he isn't talking
Speaker 4: about him. He's like, oh, maybe I am the problem here,
Speaker 4: and he so now.
Speaker 1: I like that. That's that gives you steaks, or it
Speaker 1: gives you something to work with.
Speaker 4: He could have quit the team because he goes, I'm
Speaker 4: bringing you down and.
Speaker 1: Then out of loyalty. She says, no, if you quit.
Speaker 4: It, I need you, I quit and he goes, okay,
Speaker 4: well he goes, and then he feels like part of
Speaker 4: the Temples because she goes, I need you with me
Speaker 4: homie as opposed to oh, you're shit at this and
Speaker 4: now fucked my shoulder up. Now everything we do together ruins,
Speaker 4: it ends up being bad for me. Meanwhile, we go
Speaker 4: back to doing the exact same thing again.
Speaker 1: Or he could like try too hard to improve and
Speaker 1: she has to try even harder to sort of make
Speaker 1: up for him trying too hard, and that's how a
Speaker 1: shoulder gets messed up. And it's like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to blame you, but it is kind.
Speaker 4: Of your well, or he pretends to have an injury
Speaker 4: so he doesn't have to do it because he's embarrassed.
Speaker 4: You go anyway, but we get notice to the writer's room.
Speaker 4: We had a really random bit here where he sort
Speaker 4: of slides off into bob Sled whilst pondering about what
Speaker 4: he can do.
Speaker 1: Ends up left over from the original script, perhaps where
Speaker 1: they when he.
Speaker 4: Was inlid and Meggie's in there, and Meggie's in there
Speaker 4: and just crawls off into the car pup by herself.
Speaker 1: Find something to do with Maggie. If you gotta do
Speaker 1: better than that le you've heard behind.
Speaker 4: Paying someone or something, you know, it's not funny enough
Speaker 4: to be that kind of gag. Lisa and finds the
Speaker 4: pin for the mascots of the nineteen twenty four games,
Speaker 4: and I think this is who you thought Chamona, Yeah,
Speaker 4: Nwi and we unwi. And she says, can I have
Speaker 4: it on account as in an account that I wanted?
Speaker 4: And then you've had that one before?
Speaker 1: What you say? It just wasn't funny the first day.
Speaker 4: And then he says, I'll stop you for the pearl,
Speaker 4: so she does, so he puts it in the box
Speaker 4: with kids jewelry, I think birthday checks and pets and
Speaker 4: beloved pets. We've got puppy Googoo was in their millhouses are.
Speaker 4: But then sees Lisa busking and she's singing or she's
Speaker 4: playing the theme. Yeah, intro theme, Yeah she does in
Speaker 4: the intro. Then so a woman walks past, doesn't give
Speaker 4: Lisa any money, says I saw you giving to the beach.
Speaker 4: You've got to pay for that. Do you know we
Speaker 4: gave a busker ten dollars the other day they.
Speaker 1: Were that good. Well, did you actually have ten dollars
Speaker 1: on you or did you do the whole because you
Speaker 1: see buskers these days there, people aren't carrying around much
Speaker 1: cash as they use. I won't do that like QR
Speaker 1: cod for tips. Yeah, I don't know, man, that could
Speaker 1: be malware.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had ten dollars in my wallet. But holy
Speaker 4: they're playing dancing in the moonlight, but they're playing on
Speaker 4: like a synthesizer. And the singer she was really good
Speaker 4: to stand at the paco here at the same strand, yeah,
Speaker 4: strand and well, I was just with Holly and Holly
Speaker 4: says can we stop and listening? And Holly was just
Speaker 4: like grooven and dancing to it. And I was like,
Speaker 4: you've you've impacted my daughter here. She's really enjoyed this.
Speaker 4: And she's like, can we give them? And I was like,
Speaker 4: I've got ten dollar fine? And it fucking made the
Speaker 4: musician's day.
Speaker 1: I bet it would.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just seeing it, like they stopped playing for a second,
Speaker 4: I was just like, look, they gave her a high five.
Speaker 4: They're like ten dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'll tell you what, that's probably going to
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a I would wager ten
Speaker 1: dollars there's going to be a formative memory for Holly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she'll remember. Oh yeah, I remember that music. Gave me
Speaker 1: a high five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very cute.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I'm trying to remember the most I've ever
Speaker 1: given a busker. I don't think I've ever given folding money.
Speaker 1: I might have given a fiver to some kid who's
Speaker 1: playing like a very bloozy version of the Harry Potter theme,
Speaker 1: okay on their sacks outside the coals and Shannon Avenue.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what you're doing? All right? Here, you go
Speaker 1: have a fiver old dolls. Maybe I'll go to the
Speaker 1: movies ban thatseuf funny story.
Speaker 4: This to always be a kid outside of the Gelon
Speaker 4: Cat's footy ground playing the club song on the trumpet
Speaker 4: when the Cats were beIN right and last year maybe
Speaker 4: was in the year before the Greater Western Sydney Giants
Speaker 4: the GBS Giants beat Gelong down here and then walking
Speaker 4: out and this kid starts going, starts playing their song,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, read the room, buddy. Oh and I've
Speaker 4: never seen the kids since time I saw.
Speaker 1: Y lynched charld trumpet.
Speaker 4: He's always playing the Geelong song. And they got beaten
Speaker 4: by the giants. He starts playing their song mind like
Speaker 4: it sounded good, but he was never.
Speaker 1: To be seen again with like trumpet sized wrote chubbed it.
Speaker 4: Right downs clacker. Oh boy, I was just thinking, mate,
Speaker 4: this ain't it? But yes. At Lisa's busking, she's annoyed
Speaker 4: the people aren't donating money to it because she wants
Speaker 4: to buy more pins. She rants about somebody only giving
Speaker 4: her a dime. She says she's fine, but she's clearly not.
Speaker 4: And what a really awkward scene here where he says,
Speaker 4: give me all your pins and she's She says, I'm
Speaker 4: not wearing a dress. I'm only wearing pins. I'm like, wait,
Speaker 4: eight year old's nude. Kind of weird.
Speaker 1: No, but work, how are the pins being hell today?
Speaker 4: Stuck into your flesh is bizarre? Really bizarre. Then it's
Speaker 4: time for the curling semi finals. Marge is warming up
Speaker 4: by sweeping the snack bar and then just hating on Homer,
Speaker 4: and she says she'll sweep harder and harder because without Homer,
Speaker 4: I'm a broom without a stone. I'm no use for anything.
Speaker 4: And I was like, what the hell is going on here?
Speaker 4: No use for anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we're we're not Torius Simps. Yeah, damn no,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Marge's giving us a run for her money.
Speaker 4: But then Agnes says to Skin, I'm glad you saw
Speaker 4: love once before you died.
Speaker 1: The hell what the fuck is going on here?
Speaker 4: Then the Bob Costas makes a gag about Lisa's pin
Speaker 4: courtesy of Tom Brokaw, and he says, I love to
Speaker 4: learn about Lisa. What the hell is going on? What
Speaker 4: the hell is going on?
Speaker 1: How did these jokes make the final.
Speaker 4: I don't understand what joke?
Speaker 1: No, well, I should have done the quote Marx.
Speaker 4: Yeah, margin does her shoulder? Does a shoulder? Is that
Speaker 4: an Australian thing? You do? You to do something? Do
Speaker 4: your hammy? Does her shoulder? Trying to save Homer's terrible throw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine watching like say NFL coverage in the state, like, oh.
Speaker 4: He's done a shoulder, he's done a hammy. He's doing
Speaker 4: a heavy that nosy thing that's gotta be that do
Speaker 4: a hammy. But I did, Like here, they succeed, they win,
Speaker 4: and in the crowd we have someone with Homer's face
Speaker 4: on their stomach, and then old guy with Agnes's face
Speaker 4: on his stomach. That was sprinkly. They're off to the
Speaker 4: gold medal match and he says, it's sort a bit
Speaker 4: of sweet melodrum. This sort of sweet melodrama is what
Speaker 4: Olympic coverage feeds off of. Were vampire sucking on the
Speaker 4: shadded dreams of others because Marge's hurt her shoulder.
Speaker 1: Well, you could say we had that recently with the
Speaker 1: most recent Winter Olympics, when speed skater Lindsay Vaughn returned
Speaker 1: after she was she was formally married to Tiger Woods. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think she'd been injured her. I'm sure she did
Speaker 1: it right out of it, but you know, she returned
Speaker 1: to speed skating after a while because I think she'd
Speaker 1: been injured, had had a knee injury. Yeah, she came
Speaker 1: back and she was doing really well and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, just crack and just messed up and
Speaker 1: knee again. I was like, oh man, this is probably
Speaker 1: the most we're talking about. The Winter Olympics.
Speaker 4: We used to have a player for gelon called Daniel
Speaker 4: Menzel who did like a cl it took like a
Speaker 4: year off come back, first match back banking acl like
Speaker 4: in the other knee and you're like oh no way,
Speaker 4: you can't you seriously you come up again? Did the
Speaker 4: a cl again? Everyone's like, maybe it's just maybe this is.
Speaker 1: The universe telling you something. Dan, Yeah, good player.
Speaker 4: It would have been a great player. That's it was
Speaker 4: a real shame. Yeah. But every time as a Geelong
Speaker 4: fan you're watching him on the field, you're like, Noah,
Speaker 4: wrap him up in cotton wool. But if it says that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not fair, run down, you'll run.
Speaker 4: It says that Marge will never curl again and Sweden
Speaker 4: will now get.
Speaker 1: Okay, so maybe that's maybe that's why she has to retire.
Speaker 1: So I mean, even though she's good with the left arm.
Speaker 4: But she wins God with her left arm.
Speaker 1: She's a lefty. Yeah. And then I'm trying to throw
Speaker 1: these guys a bone.
Speaker 4: And Sweden, I thought Sweden was like a nice place,
Speaker 4: but apparently they're joy is all but the shadow, the
Speaker 4: pain casts.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm Swedish happy, don't you think of the Germany?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Marge's an annoyed while she's folding clothes with one arm,
Speaker 4: her other arms in a sling. She doesn't want Homer's
Speaker 4: help because everything he ends up doing together with her
Speaker 4: and it's bad.
Speaker 1: For her, so yeah, sorry, unearned dramatic tension there.
Speaker 4: Then he says, you're hot when you're horny, and she's like,
Speaker 4: I'm mad, I'm the horny. I'm maze. Oh you're you're
Speaker 4: when you're angry.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what what is going on?
Speaker 4: Reveals that she and she didn't reveals I'm left handed.
Speaker 4: I just didn't want people to think that I was weird. Wait, well,
Speaker 4: there is a.
Speaker 1: Long history of school children who initially would start riding
Speaker 1: with it. This is way back there.
Speaker 4: We're twenty one seasons deep.
Speaker 1: I know, and we're in the twenty ten sit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure left is not regarded as you know,
Speaker 1: a sport of the devil.
Speaker 4: Bart and Lisa are now walking through a want to
Speaker 4: start the woods or something, and he says to give
Speaker 4: her all the all of her pins, and she's also
Speaker 4: hiding someone her hair, and then he says, now, put
Speaker 4: your pearls back on. We're gonn get coffee and you'll
Speaker 4: be fine, and then she explains how she no longer
Speaker 4: has the pearls without them, she's just a big maggie.
Speaker 4: We're now at night and Marge's cutting up so but.
Speaker 1: I did like that, you know. She was like, is
Speaker 1: this tough love? That's my like soft hate.
Speaker 4: Soft hate.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now at night Bart is cutting home as driver's lines
Speaker 4: and I couldn't work out what he was doing here.
Speaker 4: And he draws the eyes and I'm like, oh, he's
Speaker 4: making a pin. I've seen this pin photos of this
Speaker 4: in various things on mean groups and stuff, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: what in the hell is this from? And there you know,
Speaker 4: and now I know it is Fatov, the Russian the
Speaker 4: upcoming from the twenty fourteen Fashion Winter Olympics. So he
Speaker 4: goes to the wise guy and says, this guy represents
Speaker 4: the Russian spirit of sloth and alcoholism that work in
Speaker 4: dreams of dancing with Fatov and exchanges the pearls back
Speaker 4: and that's the end of that story.
Speaker 1: And that's the end of that story.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he buys a little fake plastic pin. Oh you whatever.

Speaker 1: were in Russia in nineteen seventy nine. Yeah and yeah,
Speaker 1: this is when the Moscow Olympics were the following year,
Speaker 1: and there was a whole lot of Olympic paraphramily around.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've still got it at home,
Speaker 1: but we are. I think his name was Misha, the
Speaker 1: bear mascot of the of the Russian Olympics, had a
Speaker 1: little Olympic belt on. He was the cutest.
Speaker 4: Who was ours the cooker baro of the porcupine and
Speaker 4: on the kidnap and the.
Speaker 1: We do we have a room? Was it kangaroo? I
Speaker 1: don't think so.
Speaker 4: Platypus platypus, Okay, cook barroo platypus? Was there was three?
Speaker 1: Was it Reagan?
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, I'm talking about the one from Yeah, what
Speaker 4: were their names? Come on, I have vivid memories when
Speaker 4: the two thousand Olympics were on and the flame was
Speaker 4: the torch was running through Geelong and everyone was like
Speaker 4: lined up on the streets watching it run past. It
Speaker 4: was like my first sort of memory of the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people lighting daries offered, were they? But I wouldn't
Speaker 1: put it past Gelong.
Speaker 4: But now we have Bob Costas and says they're they're
Speaker 4: going to return to the sudden death hockey game between
Speaker 4: Russian and USA once they finished watching this forfeiture signing ceremony.
Speaker 2: Team captain Seymour Skinner is preparing to sign. There's been
Speaker 2: some question as to whether he'll use his middle name.
Speaker 1: I guess we're.
Speaker 2: About to find out. Okay, here comes the pan. The
Speaker 2: ink appears to be blue.
Speaker 1: No surrender, Let's skim the Olympics. A miracle, but this
Speaker 1: time on ice, because the miracle on ice was yes,
Speaker 1: when the American hockey team, but the Russian hockey team. Yes.
Speaker 4: Now everyone is back home watching. You think the people
Speaker 4: at Mos are watching, but they know they're watching Harry Potter.
Speaker 4: They're watching the quidditch game. Then the Skinners are there
Speaker 4: and the Simpsons they're doing that the gold medal match.
Speaker 4: Skinners stick unfortunately breaks it is it called a stick?
Speaker 4: We're gonna call it a stick? It breaks a broom, yes,
Speaker 4: a broom. It breaks. And this is where Agnes says
Speaker 4: before now, I never knew a mother cauled, love a
Speaker 4: child wind lose. I'm taking off a pizza and ice cream.
Speaker 4: We're gonna sit at the same table. Sure, great, okay.
Speaker 1: So happy that mother and son, this mother and child
Speaker 1: reunion is only a moment away.
Speaker 4: We just know that next time, we said, and she's
Speaker 4: going to be hating on him again? Correct, why not, Marge?
Speaker 4: Then she does it, She succeeds, They win home accidentally
Speaker 4: waves the Swedish flags of the USA flag and Homasa's
Speaker 4: how's this for a date night? And then Agnes taunts
Speaker 4: Sweden and Homer dances were fat off. And that is
Speaker 4: the end of the episode.
Speaker 1: That is the end of the episode.
Speaker 4: Last it was off the rails.
Speaker 1: Indeed, that says, how does my ice taste? Or something?
Speaker 1: Which I don't know.
Speaker 4: I really couldn't get.
Speaker 1: We just don't know. We made it to the end though, folks.
Speaker 4: Yes, it started strong, and then it just I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's almost like they didn't know where they were going
Speaker 4: by the end. Wrap this up, Wrap it up.
Speaker 1: Wrap it up. Yes, it's a whole bunch of bits
Speaker 1: and pieces that didn't quite jell together all that well.
Speaker 4: It feels like they wrote this episode and then got
Speaker 4: to the end and went, ah, we need to have
Speaker 4: a resolution to the Agnes Skinner story quick. Just throw
Speaker 4: something in there, because there was no build.
Speaker 1: Up to it. Absolutely not. That was all hate because
Speaker 1: you had until there was live.
Speaker 4: You had Agnes saying all this stuff and Marge saying no, no, no,
Speaker 4: you can love this, you can love that. But the
Speaker 4: last thing we heard Agnes say to Skinner was I'm
Speaker 4: glad you saw love once before you died. That's the
Speaker 4: last thing we saw. Or say to him.
Speaker 1: What do we learn, Bomber?
Speaker 4: Would you learn from the episode of the Davis.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I didn't learn how to curl.
Speaker 1: I still don't get the physics of it.
Speaker 4: I don't understand neither. So did they chip away at
Speaker 4: the ice?
Speaker 1: I guess they must not, too sure.
Speaker 4: I learned that. I'm disappointed that Fatov was not the
Speaker 4: mascot of the twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: He seemed like a cute little guy. Yeah yeah, good.
