Speaker 1: No, no, no, The solution was regally. The rock gem is Lisa.
Speaker 2: Oh please, how many sentences start with the word regally
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 3: Don't forgive me that.
Speaker 1: It's really Maggie Sherlock. You know, I have to point
Speaker 1: out that this only makes sense if I get the
Speaker 1: wrong answer. First, I said.
Speaker 4: Hush, four finger discount. Dude.
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, welcome to a four figure discount. With this
Speaker 1: week you're going to be solving some mysteries, which you know,
Speaker 1: I certainly love this guy over here certainly doesn't. It
Speaker 1: is their review of God Maggie going, I'm Dando.
Speaker 2: And I'm guy. Yes, what was my understanding? There will
Speaker 2: be no puzzles. There are many puzzles in.
Speaker 1: You don't like matts, matts or puzzles? Which do you prefer?
Speaker 1: Equations or puzzles? Matts is a puzzle? Means are good?
Speaker 1: Equations actually lead somewhere.
Speaker 2: Equations you know, they can build size scraper or they
Speaker 2: can send rockets to the moon or something like that.
Speaker 1: And if you watch numbers, if there's there's numbers everywhere, well,
Speaker 1: equations are everywhere. Did you ever did you finish numbers
Speaker 1: on how you gave up up the Season three you
Speaker 1: tapped out. Yeah, as we've discussed on our various shows
Speaker 1: that you were doing four figure discount those shows, if
Speaker 1: you binge them, you get very much over them quickly.
Speaker 1: That is correct, And I think we might go back
Speaker 1: to numbers, but it has to be we still haven't
Speaker 1: try the technique it. We're going to do it, Niclo
Speaker 1: and I where we get the shows that aren't bingeable,
Speaker 1: the ones that we've made for once a week, like
Speaker 1: House numbers, those kind of things. Right, Monk was another one,
Speaker 1: Monk Monk, whatever you want to call it, and watching
Speaker 1: the Monday night Monk, Tuesday night, this one and seeing
Speaker 1: if it makes it more enjoyable.
Speaker 2: One might say, the way we used to watch television,
Speaker 2: thought they were made for. That makes a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of sense, I've got to say. But yeah, you watch
Speaker 2: say numbers too often and you might see the formula anyway.
Speaker 2: But yeah, make the puzzle puzzles are kind of fun. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're an interesting diversion, Yes, but gone make you go on.
Speaker 2: It's got some puzzles in it. It's got some stuff
Speaker 2: that I was not too mad on.
Speaker 1: We will discuss that as this episode progresses. I was
Speaker 1: a big fan of this because, as I said at
Speaker 1: the start, I'm a big fan of puzzles and mysteries,
Speaker 1: murder mysteries in particular, but I like these ones where
Speaker 1: you just got to solve equations, solve puzzles on the
Speaker 1: way to getting to the end game, which is why
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the escape rooms that are
Speaker 1: now booming everywhere around the world. People say Sore was
Speaker 1: the reason that escape room's kicked off, and I thought, Nah,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because you're not trying to save
Speaker 1: your life, You're just trying to solve a puzzle. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of us you don't. You said you
Speaker 1: don't like solving puzzles, but I've always thought that people
Speaker 1: just like to solve things. Obviously, some.
Speaker 2: It it requires a little more mental bandwidth that I wanted
Speaker 2: to devote in my down time. Having said that, lou
Speaker 2: and I went to this thing at Felix's school where
Speaker 2: they had like a mystery thing.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like an.
Speaker 2: Escape room as such, but it's like we've set up
Speaker 2: a mystery and here are various clues that will help
Speaker 2: you solve it all the way through, and it's in
Speaker 2: a bunch of stages.
Speaker 1: It's everybody walking around the room the same time trying
Speaker 1: to solve it, because I fucking hate it when we
Speaker 1: got a bunch of parents sort of collaborating on shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, I showed much more aptitude for it than
Speaker 2: I thought I would.
Speaker 1: I felt like Sherlock.
Speaker 2: Holmes or or Elliott Stable, except it wasn't a heinous crime.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why. Let's say the joke down
Speaker 1: there in the anus. But that's why I think I
Speaker 1: like those crime shows because they are very much this.
Speaker 1: They are solving puzzles on the way to get to
Speaker 1: the the what do you call them, the conclusion, the solution,
Speaker 1: who's the person the perpetrator of the Yeah, yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: this is obviously paying homage to a couple of things
Speaker 1: that were very big around this time two thousands. National
Speaker 1: Treasure two thousand and four was National Treasure. Treasure DaVinci
Speaker 1: co Book two thousand and three fell two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: a little late to the party of this episode, they
Speaker 1: still felt somewhat relevant. I feel like because at the
Speaker 1: time the da Vinci Code was massive. It was a phenomenon,
Speaker 1: incredibly big, see to the point where my mum she
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily read too many books, and one of them
Speaker 1: that there was never many books in the Downer household
Speaker 1: growing up kids. Books, yes, but novels and no, no, no.
Speaker 1: But my mum had a copy of the DaVinci Code.
Speaker 1: I remember going, it must be big if mum's reading
Speaker 1: this book as well. Everyone loved the DaVinci Code, and
Speaker 1: it almost felt like at the time, if you didn't
Speaker 1: live through it, it might be listeners out there who aren't
Speaker 1: who weren't even alive when that book came out. In
Speaker 1: the movie and whatnot. The movie not so much of
Speaker 1: it as a huge success, but did all right, Everyone
Speaker 1: went to see it because of the book success, right,
Speaker 1: But I remember the book. If you hadn't read it, it
Speaker 1: almost felt like you were just out of the loop.
Speaker 1: It felt like you couldn't join in any conversation because
Speaker 1: the fear of it being spoiled, like, well, I just
Speaker 1: have to read this book just so it doesn't get
Speaker 1: Because everyone was talking about the da Vinci Code, it
Speaker 1: was certainly one of those things that's spilled over from
Speaker 1: bookshops to regular shops. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: You'd see people picking it up add a big work
Speaker 2: mart or even the supermarket, as opposed to going into
Speaker 2: the mix. I guess that's the realm, sort of name
Speaker 2: brand bookstore we have these days.
Speaker 1: Airport's just stocked with them. Oh my goodness. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: but before it was the subtle art of not giving
Speaker 1: a fact. You had the DaVinci code everywhere. I love
Speaker 1: name checking that because Dano the Pierce. Last time, I
Speaker 1: haven't read it. Yeah yeah, yeah, no, it's a real thing.
Speaker 1: It was worth reading apparently apparently so No, he's pretty good.
Speaker 1: This Mark Benson go yea. He co wrote Will Smith's autobiography, Oh,
Speaker 1: which you're also a big fan of the Brick by Brick.
Speaker 1: I was a big fan of that part. Yes, that's
Speaker 1: all over it up to the audiobook. Actually that's that's
Speaker 1: the forward. It's like just to read. Okay, but yeah, gone,
Speaker 1: Maggie Gone.
Speaker 2: Full of puzzles. I imagine this is the reason you
Speaker 2: enjoyed it. But you enjoy puzzles and mysteries and things
Speaker 2: to be solved, it seems because you know you've introduced
Speaker 2: a couple of little mysteries into your house.
Speaker 1: We have indeed, yeah, they're called well, when we adopted them,
Speaker 1: they were called Carmen and cheesel. It's a little ginger
Speaker 1: kitten and a tabby kitten. You've seen them adorable, right,
Speaker 1: adorable in the way the kittens are.
Speaker 2: But kittens are adorable. These are ultra adorable because you've
Speaker 2: got media pose. But also you've got another cat on
Speaker 2: top of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the the stray that's just living here now
Speaker 1: we put I tried to pull a Harry in the
Speaker 1: Henderson's last night. I was like, well, this cat, we
Speaker 1: can't really keep her, like we love her, she wants
Speaker 1: to We feel like she's always at the back door
Speaker 1: of meowing. It's like does she wanted to get out?
Speaker 1: So I took the collar off her. She had a
Speaker 1: little bout we don't leave she when she looked to
Speaker 1: be funny, they did to say, am I allowed to go?
Speaker 1: And she sort of wandered around the back. He'd be
Speaker 1: having a snif blah blah blah. I was like, go, well,
Speaker 1: I didn't get the cap obviously. I just closed the
Speaker 1: door and said and Ali looked at the wind. I said,
Speaker 1: aliottn't look at the cat. Just let it wander off
Speaker 1: and it's going to go back to its house. Just
Speaker 1: let it be right. To quote my man's sting if
Speaker 1: you love something, said it free exactly. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: was just like, just just go go be free. You
Speaker 1: know you want to be out there, Just go go
Speaker 1: go right, And that's just imagining you as boat with
Speaker 1: his chicken. Go live your life free. And so about
Speaker 1: an hour later, I've got the kittens in the house
Speaker 1: and the kittens have to be separated because they got well.
Speaker 1: As I now know, kitten flew right, they've got a cold.
Speaker 1: So I just to spend some time taking to get there.
Speaker 1: I dotted him yesterday. I'm already taken him back once.
Speaker 1: I wanted a full refund, only got a seven day warranties,
Speaker 1: so can I can get a fixed for free? But anyway,
Speaker 1: so they had their antibiodox but about to be kicking.
Speaker 1: Separated a because they are a new cat and b
Speaker 1: because they're not well. Got the sniffles and whatnot. But
Speaker 1: what was I going for bed now or later? We're
Speaker 1: in the in the bathroom, that's where they're staying at
Speaker 1: the moment, and we're just here from outside, and to
Speaker 1: me it sounded like a cat was in pain. I thought,
Speaker 1: oh no, the cat's going under the fence next door.
Speaker 1: And there's a staffy next door and two little yet
Speaker 1: like ye yappy terriers behind us, and I thought, oh god,
Speaker 1: I've let the cat out and it's gone under the fence,
Speaker 1: and so got there's a dog down. The dog's going.
Speaker 1: I thought it was actually in pain, opened the door,
Speaker 1: and within like zero point two of a second, it's
Speaker 1: running back inside between my legs, just jumps on the
Speaker 1: couch and looks at me. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I guess you're living here too, then, So there you go.
Speaker 2: You're not just a cat dad. One time over You've
Speaker 2: got three cats in the house.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And Nikola got this collar. She won over, put
Speaker 1: it basically put a neck up and said yes please
Speaker 1: Nickels put the call in that on. So now she's
Speaker 1: heer cat sound dumb man. Yeah. So the kittens, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we got them yesterday. But originally they were going
Speaker 1: to just adopt Carmen, who's a little tabby kitten, and
Speaker 1: we went to pick her up they said come in.
Speaker 1: We get there, they say you can't adopt her because
Speaker 1: she's got sloppy poos and I was like fantastic. I said,
Speaker 1: it's going to take five days to make sure she
Speaker 1: got solid poo. But this is the reason I never
Speaker 1: get adopted exactly. Yeah, no one ever wants you anyway.
Speaker 1: So they isolate her and the three siblings from the
Speaker 1: litter in the same cage, and eventually they're still a
Speaker 1: bit sloppy, so they separate him into two. And though
Speaker 1: two that she the other one she became sort of
Speaker 1: really close with was a ginger cat named Cheesel. And
Speaker 1: I went to pick up Carmen, I looked at him
Speaker 1: and they just snug it up together. And I picked
Speaker 1: up Carmen with Holly and Elliott, and this little ginga
Speaker 1: cat looked up at me, is to say, but that's
Speaker 1: my best friend. And I was like, Okay, get in
Speaker 1: the car. We're adopting two. And it's good because they
Speaker 1: comfort for each other, their brother and sister. They love
Speaker 1: each other. And yes, and never got three cats. Went
Speaker 1: from having nothing, never have a cat again, to three cats.
Speaker 1: I remember not long ago, Rest in peace, Jet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were very much like I think.
Speaker 2: We're going to be a pet free house off for
Speaker 2: a little while to enjoy my three days, my time,
Speaker 2: my freedom, money base, a few days money.
Speaker 1: Well, the fucking cat has arrived at the back door.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Universe, what are you doing to me?
Speaker 2: Universe is realizing that you're a good and dependable soul.
Speaker 2: Someone can be a good cat dead.
Speaker 1: And the thing is to cats, you can sort of
Speaker 1: more independent. As you said, So like a dog, you
Speaker 1: have to make sure, hey, make sure he's fed, taking
Speaker 1: out for a shit, blah blah blah. Cat's like giddy
Speaker 1: lit up, you're right for a day, Give me a box,
Speaker 1: throwing me some food once in a while. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I look after myself. I actually watched the Big Cat
Speaker 1: before we get into Go and make it gone, legitimately
Speaker 1: hunt to fly today. So she sort of crash did
Speaker 1: the crash down, and the bubb was sort of like
Speaker 1: going and she's creep and I was like, I'm actually
Speaker 1: watching like a like like like the Nature documentary is
Speaker 1: like crawling the flights on the middler bitch. She stopped,
Speaker 1: she could pull back, and she kept and she sort
Speaker 1: of pounced. She looked around and a real under report.
Speaker 1: She's put in her mouth on it. And I was like, Eh,
Speaker 1: that's fucking crazy. Oh yeah, she hunted a fly.
Speaker 2: This sounds ridiculous, but yeah, there were certainly times when
Speaker 2: I've been sitting on the couch with Basing next to me,
Speaker 2: and uh, you know there'll be a nature documentary on
Speaker 2: and like a big cattle. That's you mate, Your DNA's
Speaker 2: in there. Eh, yeah, she was just I was like
Speaker 2: watching a lion hunt its prey.
Speaker 1: It was crazy. Oh, it's fascinating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, having a cat inside your house is yet not
Speaker 2: unlike just having a great nature documentary twenty four seven.
Speaker 1: It was pretty it was pretty cool to watch. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But and speaking of things that I enjoyed watching Go
Speaker 1: and Make It Gone, I really enjoyed this. So I
Speaker 1: thought this episode here was a really fun mystery in
Speaker 1: that it paid trio to National Treasure and Dvichica, as
Speaker 1: we said, two similar style of stories in the sense
Speaker 1: of them being they need to have to solve a
Speaker 1: bunch of clues and all the search for something. One
Speaker 1: being for adults, which is the Da Vinci Code and
Speaker 1: National Treasure adults can enjoy it, but that was more
Speaker 1: targeted at kids, right, And this one here, I think
Speaker 1: they did a fantastic job, the writers Billy Kimball and
Speaker 1: Ian Maxtow and Graham, of combining the two to produce
Speaker 1: a mystery that was crafted so well and that kids
Speaker 1: could really have fun trying to seriously crack these codes
Speaker 1: and crack these mysteries, right, and adults wouldn't feel like
Speaker 1: their intelligence is being insulted either. They're very simple to solve,
Speaker 1: but I don't think adults would go, oh god, it's
Speaker 1: pretty obvious. Yeah, And I think as a family unit,
Speaker 1: I would really enjoy watching this episode with Holly and Alliett.
Speaker 1: Holly still a bit too young, but I think Alliot
Speaker 1: would have fun trying to crack the code here. It
Speaker 1: almost like we would be like, who shot mister Burns
Speaker 1: kind of deal.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, when you explain it that way, I understand
Speaker 2: a lot more about why you like it. I also
Speaker 2: understand a little more why I was like watching it
Speaker 2: in my solo household with a cat next to me.
Speaker 1: Guard. All Right, yep, fine, I mean, as I said,
Speaker 1: it's not really an episode problem. I think there were
Speaker 1: problems with the episode, with the writing, with the direction,
Speaker 1: a little bit with the direction, a little bit with
Speaker 1: the writing. Mostly it's a me problem. It's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is just not my bag. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: I have issue with the way the family and the
Speaker 1: characters come across. See I based a lot of my
Speaker 1: enjoyment of the episodes, I think modern day ones on
Speaker 1: the use of Homer, right, and Marge was terrible in
Speaker 1: the last one as well. They no Lonik, and I thought, sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: all terrible people. I think in contrast to that, I
Speaker 1: actually thought they were all written quite well. In this
Speaker 1: Lisa in particular was handled quite well and that she
Speaker 1: was obnoxious, but not enough where you disliked her, but
Speaker 1: you also enjoyed the fact that she wasn't the golden
Speaker 1: girl at the end because you're sort of all high
Speaker 1: and mighty. I guess, yeah, I mean that's a I
Speaker 1: guess a valuable lesson that you can take away from it.
Speaker 1: I mean, dear, don't get too high on your own supply.
Speaker 1: For you, she stayed on the on the right side obnoxious.
Speaker 1: For me, she's tripped over into the bad side of
Speaker 1: obnox I thought you were just a bit smug and
Speaker 1: a bit self satisfied. Maybe that's the point, but I
Speaker 1: would have had I would have preferred the come up
Speaker 1: and at the end to be a little bit more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what I learned something today as opposed to know her
Speaker 1: just being kind of.
Speaker 2: Oh it's not me, okay, fine, Yeah, she's the right
Speaker 2: character to be doing this kind of thing. If you're
Speaker 2: going to have an episode where it's all we have
Speaker 2: to solve a mystery, we have the puzzle to sort
Speaker 2: of unravel or whatever. You're sure you want someone who's
Speaker 2: smart doing that. I don't think you necessarily need someone
Speaker 2: who's like, well, of course I knew this.
Speaker 1: I found that just a little bit of a drag. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just kind of smug and stuck up. Which is why
Speaker 1: I thought the switch of Lisa being wrong was actually
Speaker 1: well played, because I when she solved it, when she
Speaker 1: said regally, I thought, that's a weird sentence. It seems
Speaker 1: a bit forced. No, that was maybe by accident, but
Speaker 1: her subconsciously solving in a way that would make her
Speaker 1: the golden girl and Maggie, Like, does she actually know
Speaker 1: Maggie was the one and she sort of changes so
Speaker 1: she would make herself feel special or did she just
Speaker 1: get it wrong?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm leaning towards she just got it wrong, but
Speaker 2: her subconscious makes her change it so that she feels
Speaker 2: like she's important, because that's it's understandable why because for
Speaker 2: the most.
Speaker 1: Part, her intelligence, intelligence and talents are sort of not
Speaker 1: wasted away but sort of fobbed off amongst the chaos
Speaker 1: of the family. They're not valued. Yeah, so she has
Speaker 1: to sort of fight and scratching claw for every bit
Speaker 1: of acknowledgment she can get, so she even her subconscious
Speaker 1: is trying to go No, you area, that's a really
Speaker 1: good point, and I hadn't. I hadn't viewed it that way.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that you brought it up, and I'm
Speaker 1: glad you're helping me solve this puzzle. You mentioned the
Speaker 1: directing before visual I actually thought this was probably the
Speaker 1: best HD era episode we've had to date, in particular
Speaker 1: just the the shot of the eclipse, when the moon
Speaker 1: or the planets or sort of like lining up. It
Speaker 1: looked almost like three D animation. And the exterior shots
Speaker 1: as well, I thought were really great. The use of shadows.
Speaker 1: The shadows are really standing out at the moment because
Speaker 1: they didn't have shadows as much when they were hand drawn.
Speaker 1: This one. It just looked really nice in particular shots,
Speaker 1: and I really liked when Lisa was looking up at
Speaker 1: the Springfield sign you can see the words written on it.
Speaker 1: That looked cool as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's had a real sort of I guess
Speaker 2: cinematic or even prestige TV sort of aspect to it,
Speaker 2: and just yeah, that eclipse scene in particular, I thought
Speaker 2: was really I don't think it's overstating this beautifully done.
Speaker 1: I thought it was very very well directed. The visuals
Speaker 1: were great. The visuals were you know, just sort of
Speaker 1: an elegant is yeah, the word ide is. But the
Speaker 1: music I thought was just beautiful as well.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really well put together scene and
Speaker 2: not something I was necessarily expecting from this episode or
Speaker 2: from the Simpsons episode in general.
Speaker 1: So the score and the writing were both nominated for
Speaker 1: various awards as well, and critics love this one. This
Speaker 1: was given a's across the board. This episode people really
Speaker 1: really enjoyed. Maybe it was an episode that at the
Speaker 1: time it felt more relevant and enjoyable because the Vinci
Speaker 1: Code National Treasure was still in the front of people's
Speaker 1: minds to an extent. I'm not too sure. Quite possibly
Speaker 1: were maybe all the Vinci code pilled around that time,
Speaker 1: but I just think the over what, I don't have
Speaker 1: any memory of watching this movie, so I'm watching this
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five with a fresh mind, and I
Speaker 1: just think it was structured really well. I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: I like the fact that the first act actually played
Speaker 1: into the overall story without you actually realizing, and the
Speaker 1: total eclipse, because how often are they guilty in recent
Speaker 1: times of just having a story and going this is
Speaker 1: this is entertaining, but not enough for a full episode.
Speaker 1: Let's just cram it in here. And it feels so
Speaker 1: for you get to the end of the first act
Speaker 1: and you go, oh, so now the episode starting right
Speaker 1: And I used to do that in the Golden Ear
Speaker 1: as well, but this one here you could very much
Speaker 1: say the total that the eclipse part was just its
Speaker 1: own story, but no, that actually plays into the overall one,
Speaker 1: and you don't realize that till about two thirds of
Speaker 1: the way in as well, so everything follows it. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good point, and that sets up the b
Speaker 1: plot of Marge not being able to see, which wasn't
Speaker 1: particularly focused on all that much, as they'd sometimes go
Speaker 1: back to it. But why do you think they needed
Speaker 1: to have Marge not be able to see? Is that
Speaker 1: something from one of the films that I'm missing.
Speaker 2: Not that I'm aware of. I mean, I don't recall
Speaker 2: that being a national treasure and I.
Speaker 1: Don't think it's in the Da Vinci code at all.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure there's no sort of blind characters or
Speaker 1: anything like that. I suppose you got the payoff at
Speaker 1: the end where she takes the blindfold off at least sorry,
Speaker 1: Maggie takes the blindfold off Marge. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: a nice sort of not reveal, that's not the right term,
Speaker 1: but reunion. Yeah, I guess most of some of it
Speaker 1: well peaced or you know, you're the most beautiful thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, or something along those lines. We will
Speaker 1: get to it. But I thought was really really nice ending.
Speaker 1: I think if you stick the lending, the ending was
Speaker 1: a bit far fetched, which I've got my notes here,
Speaker 1: But before the Bart bit, I thought the ending was
Speaker 1: quite really well put together in my opinion. But getting
Speaker 1: back to the visual, so, I just think I was
Speaker 1: excited when they became HD. I remember at the time,
Speaker 1: and now as I get older, I go, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: nothing beats the originals. If I take my bias away,
Speaker 1: the show feels fresh watching it in HD, right, it does.
Speaker 1: You watch these episodes in twenty twenty five and compare
Speaker 1: them to the episodes from the nineties. And nearly two thousands.
Speaker 1: It's a stark difference. And if you could say, you
Speaker 1: can honestly say this to anybody, this is last week's episode,
Speaker 1: and you could believe it. Oh yeah, you certainly think that. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: they look an airy Chris In an HD world, these
Speaker 1: episodes feel better. They're much easier on the eye than
Speaker 1: the originals. I will always love the originals. They will
Speaker 1: always be my favorite. But I've said this before on
Speaker 1: the podcast. If I'm a six year old kid right now,
Speaker 1: I'm watching the HD episode, of.
Speaker 2: Course, I well, because you're a child of twenty twenty five, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're going to be enjoying What's.
Speaker 1: I'm not watching four to three, I'm watching sixteen nine?
Speaker 1: You are? You are? And look, even going back to
Speaker 1: gold and Ero Simpsons or Vintagero Simpsons or whatever, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us were saying, oh, we're
Speaker 1: loving the animation here or something like that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think we're really more there for the gags, for
Speaker 1: the writing and the performances more than the visuals. Even
Speaker 1: though the visuals were up and pretty well done in
Speaker 1: terms of like angles and all that kind of business
Speaker 1: or shot composition or whatever. But it also, yeah, it
Speaker 1: looked like this isn't top notch animation, especially like season
Speaker 1: two three onwards. I think season seven eight was when
Speaker 1: it was at it's best. For me. It's when I
Speaker 1: visually I like the Simpsons the best, when it was
Speaker 1: like season seven eight ish. But I do also think
Speaker 1: people just have a nostalgia for the show just being
Speaker 1: hand drawn the way it was drawn, not how it looks,
Speaker 1: just the way it was made as well. Well, it
Speaker 1: looks a little more handmade, doesn't it all. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it has that charm to it. Yeah, where that does
Speaker 1: it loses that element in the HD era, But you
Speaker 1: can't deny that the show looks great. And what you're
Speaker 1: going from the mid season twenty episode at the old
Speaker 1: school version to now you go, oh, this just feels new.
Speaker 1: Oh it feels like a real turn of the doar,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah? Yeah, I was just just just the
Speaker 1: shadows for me. Honest, I remember when it first came out.
Speaker 1: I went, oh, this looks I don't know if I like,
Speaker 1: this looks too different? Twenty years was the twentyear only one?
Speaker 1: It's two thousand and nine, what's that? Yeah? Whatever, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it feels right now it does. Yeah. Also, mister Burns
Speaker 1: in this episode, he comes in at the end. Right,
Speaker 1: I prefer this version of Burns. People should fear Burns.
Speaker 1: He should be a criminal, he should be a terrifying man. Right.
Speaker 1: Seeing him making two people dig their own grades whilst
Speaker 1: holding him at gunpoint felt right.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think I prefer him when he's wielding
Speaker 2: power as opposed to being pathetic. It's very rare it
Speaker 2: seems that the show can combine those two. Well, he's
Speaker 2: someone who's old and decrepit and kind of passed it,
Speaker 2: but also potent enough to be dangerous or a threat. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you're right, this episode kind of felt more like, no,
Speaker 2: the ons still got some juice in it, and he
Speaker 2: still wants to wheeld that power to some degree.
Speaker 1: So at Smithers, he should always be that lucky who's
Speaker 1: questioning mister Burns, but still a guest master. That's the best.
Speaker 1: Smithers to me, he is the guy that you know
Speaker 1: he doesn't quite agree, but he just he just has
Speaker 1: to follow him.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, partly out of hero worship, partly out of love, yeah,
Speaker 2: and partly out of fear as well. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 2: really complicated relationship, and yeah, the Simpson's out its.
Speaker 1: Best when it does that, when it has those all
Speaker 1: those elements working concert. You're right. It is official. We
Speaker 1: have finally launched Bob's Pods, a Bob's Burger's podcast, reviewing
Speaker 1: every episode of the series exclusively on our Patreon. We
Speaker 1: dissect the relationships, the themes, the burger specials, and everything
Speaker 1: else that goes into making Bob's Burgers one of the
Speaker 1: most loved animated series today. So if you want to
Speaker 1: sink your teeth into one of the tastiest podcasts going around,
Speaker 1: join the four Finger Discat family today at patreon dot
Speaker 1: com slash four fingerre Discat he my favorite What were
Speaker 1: your favorite moments from the episode?
Speaker 2: I had a few I mentioned, Yeah, rather sweet music
Speaker 2: for the eclipse is something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I enjoyed that very much. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is a favorite mom because actually found this kind
Speaker 1: of sad. But you know, they've all got their little
Speaker 1: camera obscura devices to watch the eclipse, the whole Simpsons
Speaker 1: family and cause Homer foxes up Marge handing hers over.
Speaker 1: It was just a little pause there.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like, oh, well, you know, you can
Speaker 2: have mine and I'm a people pleaser. I would be
Speaker 2: the kind of person who would do that.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the kind of thing a parent will
Speaker 1: have to do as well.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, I'm watching eclips and you busted yours.
Speaker 1: I be like, Dad, I go ahead, look at it.
Speaker 1: I trust that you wouldn't have a look at the
Speaker 1: eclipse for a second and then hand it back to
Speaker 1: ded to me. Well, that's correct. I like that moment.
Speaker 2: I sort of recognized myself in it and recognized people
Speaker 2: that I love in it. Didn't like it so much
Speaker 2: when everyone's like, oh, this is the greatest bonding experience
Speaker 2: we had as a family.
Speaker 1: Is like, this is more jerk out nonsense. But I
Speaker 1: did like that. I mean that that was just also
Speaker 1: just to set the fact that Marge really wants to
Speaker 1: have to see and that's what where she's willing to
Speaker 1: risk losing her eyesight. That's true, that's true. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's necessary to move the plot forward. When Lisa
Speaker 1: to the convent and I don't think one of the
Speaker 1: nuts calls are doubting Thomas and Lisa says she's more
Speaker 1: of a curious George. I don't know, I gotta tickle
Speaker 1: out of it. There's more to that joke as well.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen Curious George Wells? His handler is
Speaker 1: the man in the yellow hat. Yeah. I thought that
Speaker 1: scene in particular. I've written in my notes that the
Speaker 1: games were coming through thick and fast, particularly in those moments,
Speaker 1: to the point where a lot of these jokes kids
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't haven enjoy. But as if you understand the
Speaker 1: source material, you're just like, this is just joke. Joe joke,
Speaker 1: Joe joke. It would necessarily be knocking to out of
Speaker 1: the park. But they at least attempting jokes. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: they at least attempting joke density. Yeah, why they used to.
Speaker 1: I'm always curious.
Speaker 2: When people have crushes or fixations on animated characters, particularly
Speaker 2: sort of romantic or sexual ones. Now, having said that,
Speaker 2: Sister Marilyn at the convent while we were oh damn
Speaker 2: and reminds me of probably my favorite thing. I've always
Speaker 2: used this kind of thing as a gift or a
Speaker 2: response meme or something. Anytime someone is so hot, I
Speaker 2: use a text Avery Wolf. Not everyone is familiar with
Speaker 2: texts Avery the animator, but maybe Texas, one of his
Speaker 2: signature characters, at least is the wolf who is just
Speaker 2: horny man.
Speaker 1: You grew up in the nineties. It's what the mask
Speaker 1: rips off very much so.
Speaker 2: But the eyes go a ruga and anytime he sees
Speaker 2: a hot redhead, essentially any sort of bangs himself over there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that.
Speaker 2: Anytime you know, someone on Twitter puts up a picture
Speaker 2: of say Monica Bluchi or something, I tend to either
Speaker 2: put up text Avery Wolf. There's a frame from a
Speaker 2: Gumby where Gummy's in there going ziggity like the kids
Speaker 2: say or used to it me.
Speaker 1: That's that's a franchise that needs to make a come
Speaker 1: back at some point. Reckon. So I loved Gumby. Is
Speaker 1: a gummy veg is a Gumby, So any change. Wow,
Speaker 1: the soft and sexy sounds of Dando. You did a
Speaker 1: little wiggle there. I don't have been called that on video.
Speaker 1: It's really good. But to give a shout out to
Speaker 1: the text Avery Wolf. The way they did a lot
Speaker 1: of references in this episode, that would just quick gagys right,
Speaker 1: and I just appreciated it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not saying this is in the neighborhood of
Speaker 2: Classic Simptons or anything like that, but it would certainly
Speaker 2: if not in the ballpark. Say those are major league
Speaker 2: This is like minor league baseball, yes, or a good
Speaker 2: high school team.
Speaker 1: Now, I really enjoyed a few lines here, So Marge saying, oh,
Speaker 1: it's been great. Every day's been like the first ten
Speaker 1: minutes of Mother's Day. That's pretty much how it goes.
Speaker 1: You get breakfast in bed and then its lips onto
Speaker 1: the usual shenanigans, like you give mom a presence, cook
Speaker 1: your breakfast in bed, and then she gets up to
Speaker 1: do the dishes. I like, And normally I wouldn't like
Speaker 1: this right, but for some reason, maybe I was just
Speaker 1: in a good mood. But the Homer's hand is Maggie
Speaker 1: right when it's he's she's feeding it and he's got
Speaker 1: But then when he said cool it, she's getting suspicious
Speaker 1: and he does like a cookie monster, the voice of
Speaker 1: you could it, I'm hungry. I'm like, I put it on.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I find this so funny, but
Speaker 1: just I was in the right mood and it got
Speaker 1: me at the right time. And then just the side gag,
Speaker 1: the visual gag of the keepout sign and then saying, oh, enter,
Speaker 1: I'm not a cod hope. Yeah, because how often do
Speaker 1: you see in things that says keep out and you go,
Speaker 1: no one's around, you keep off the grass. Like, what
Speaker 1: do you speaking of signs? Right? I saw this happen
Speaker 1: in the flesh in person. Right, I've never seen it
Speaker 1: happen before, but it's true wet paint signs. Right, people
Speaker 1: can't resist. That's that's the joke. You see wet paint sign,
Speaker 1: you gonna touch it. We walk in, Elliot can read
Speaker 1: mind you, he fucking knows what this sign said. We
Speaker 1: walk into Holly's daycare and they've just rebuilt the sort
Speaker 1: of the front foy area, dirty big sign that says
Speaker 1: wet paint, do not touch. Motherfucking just touches it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what the It's almost like you want to see a
Speaker 1: dog run have a butcheter sausages. I was like, I've
Speaker 1: seen someone see wet paint, don't touch it and just
Speaker 1: touched it. Look, why did you do that? He goes,
Speaker 1: I don't know, whole hand fingertip, fingertip, fingertip. Still, I said,
Speaker 1: why did you touch it? He goes, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think he even knew don't touch the brains touched.
Speaker 1: You didn't miss a beat, just touched it. We talk
Speaker 1: a lot on the show about what a good boy
Speaker 1: Elliott is. He's a good boy. It sounds like he
Speaker 1: confused himself. He was. I don't know what I did.
Speaker 1: There's a spark of the rebel in him. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: just had to. Yeah. Next question, you there eating the beast?
Speaker 1: All right, it's time for some trivia questions. So you
Speaker 1: were only a couple here, I'll ask you my first one.
Speaker 1: What did the signs say at the hospital at the front? Oh,
Speaker 1: if you died here, you'd be home now? Correct? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I suppose makes uh. I have to wrap my head
Speaker 1: around that. I'm pretty sure it makes sense going anywhere,
Speaker 1: you'd be the Morgue. Correct.
Speaker 2: When Ken Brockman is reporting on the solar eclipse at
Speaker 2: the start of the episode, Yeah, what is the headline
Speaker 2: that he sort of had Not?
Speaker 1: It's a chiron, you know what I mean? Do I dared?
Speaker 1: Look at my notes? Do I cheat? If you took notes?
Speaker 1: It's guy and Aara Sky and Arrah. Yes. My next
Speaker 1: one for you is what car do the Brethren do
Speaker 1: their sleuthing in?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's not a it's a toya gallany.
Speaker 1: It's a car that cartman gives away, that brand, that
Speaker 1: model car cartman at the mall. Come get your Nissan.
Speaker 1: Is it a Galaxy? It is Nissan Quest Minivan Quest.
Speaker 1: Sorry I knew it was like not a play on words,
Speaker 1: but you say one thing, it could be something else.
Speaker 1: What did? What did? Can't give away Nissan something? Oh?
Speaker 1: I can't remember. Can't get your free Nissan? According much?
Speaker 1: Is it much? She says that I don't know.
Speaker 2: But the twenty twenty seven solar eclipse will take place
Speaker 2: where Yemen. Yeah, and I'm going to need more information.
Speaker 1: Oh, what was it? North Yemen? North Yemen aka? Which
Speaker 1: is actually going to be happening? Yeah, twenty twenty seven. Well,
Speaker 1: when we get through the notes, I actually looked up
Speaker 1: when the next eclipse is going to be happening in Australia. Well,
Speaker 1: have you in Australian this know when the next clip
Speaker 1: is going to be happening? Apparently there's five between twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty thirty eight. That's provided you know
Speaker 1: we're not destroyed by an asteroid. Yeah, we can only
Speaker 1: hope not, depending on the day. Yes. My next question
Speaker 1: for you is final question, where does Homer buy the
Speaker 1: rat Poison from the play on an American store. Oh oh,
Speaker 1: which because of the sign and the color, I always
Speaker 1: thought it was a rip off of JB. High five.
Speaker 1: But it's not. Yeah, simply the oh it's pest by. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: thank you very much for you help. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I have two other questions here, but I'm going to
Speaker 1: want to ask you one in the sake of equilibrium.
Speaker 1: The bell the Springfield bells melted down to make what
Speaker 1: civil war chest sets correct? Yes, well, then during World
Speaker 1: War two, I was like, no, no, it was World War II.
Speaker 1: It was the other one, that other one, not World
Speaker 1: War One for a different war. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: into some stone culor shirt as shall we? Oh yeah, God.
Speaker 1: Starting with the Coursey lovely Katy G. Yes with a
Speaker 1: one hundred doll support Thank you so much, kat G.

Speaker 1: have Shanny Macker, Elliot j O'Neil from the Simpsons Index Podcast.
Speaker 1: We have Justin Parker, Isabella Murphy, Rach Beasley, Stephen Roberts,

Speaker 1: James Sheppard, Joe Reading Sect, Dave Pretzels mcneally, Gavin Lang,
Speaker 1: Charlie Joe and Damian Miller. Thank you so much. Guys
Speaker 1: have been top tier supporters stonecutters here at the four
Speaker 1: thing of discap Network. Could cutting those stones for us guys? Indeed,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get into our complete run through of
Speaker 1: Gone Mackey Gone Now. The episode title was a play
Speaker 1: on what now. You have a bit of a story
Speaker 1: here when you get well, sit down children, do sit down, children,
Speaker 1: because yeah, it's time for Generation X tells you what's what.
Speaker 1: There's been more than one outlet online saying, oh, this
Speaker 1: is a riff on Gone Baby Gone, the Dennis Lay
Speaker 1: novel that was turned into a film by Ben Affleck,
Speaker 1: his first directorial effort Beyond the Camera. I would suggest
Speaker 1: it is actually a riff on the song Gone Daddy
Speaker 1: Gone by the Violent Fems, which came out sometime in
Speaker 1: the eighties. It's why that well, gone Daddy Gone sounds
Speaker 1: more like gone, Maggie Gone. But it's also this sorry
Speaker 1: is a better baby I guess. So, hey, maybe here's
Speaker 1: a suggestion two things can be true. It also doesn't
Speaker 1: help that you cause the fact that Ems and Graham
Speaker 1: said it was a play on gone mate, baby gone.
Speaker 1: It was he No, it's just the writer. I completely
Speaker 1: made that up. By the way, continue though, so you
Speaker 1: think it's because it's sound like I think.
Speaker 2: It sounds more like gone, Meggie Gone, Gone, Daddy Gone,
Speaker 2: but also baby gone makes a whole bunch of sense
Speaker 2: as well. I'm just saying, let's open our mind to possibilities.
Speaker 1: Of course, it works both ways. Unless we actually ask
Speaker 1: Billy Kimball or e Maxtone Graham, we'll never know. The
Speaker 1: real truth will.
Speaker 2: Be, Well, you've got it in with all these people.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're the one who goes out to dinner
Speaker 2: with that's elmen.
Speaker 1: Once it wasn't invited. You just get following from yes,
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, it's a guy. The original
Speaker 1: edit was March fifteen, two thousand and nine. Now box office,
Speaker 1: mister Davis for March fifteen, two thousand and nine, number
Speaker 1: one at the box office. This is actually very fucking
Speaker 1: relevant to this episode. Could not be any more fucking relevant.
Speaker 1: It could, but you'll understand when I say the answer.
Speaker 1: So number one at the box office. Think what this
Speaker 1: episode's about, and have a guess. Well, it's not the
Speaker 1: da Vinci Code, not National Treasure, but it's pretty fucking close,
Speaker 1: is it. Angels indebils. Yes, it was number one at
Speaker 1: the box office when this episode came out, which maybe
Speaker 1: it's a bit of synergy. Maybe they knew it was
Speaker 1: coming out. They tried to tie it in with that
Speaker 1: so people will be talking about angels and demons. We
Speaker 1: can use that in the promo for the TV for
Speaker 1: the episode. Maybe, hey, angel demons is just out. By
Speaker 1: the way, the Simpsons is going to be solving as
Speaker 1: DaVinci Code esque clues.
Speaker 2: Angels and Demons. The sequel to the da Vinci Code.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Little step Brother didn't quite do as well.
Speaker 1: I don't think I think there was. It was the
Speaker 1: Laura Diminishing returns. When it came to these Robert Langdon adventures,
Speaker 1: there was an image code which is very big. Angels
Speaker 1: and Demons came after that. Then there was Inferno, which
Speaker 1: was an absolute stinker, and I think Guy to Death
Speaker 1: And number number two at the time was the movie
Speaker 1: that you love, a sci fi film based on an
Speaker 1: old TV shows, got your Favoritechris in it? Oh, I
Speaker 1: mean out of the four crises? Is it Star Trek
Speaker 1: Star Trek? Yeah? Ah? And number three was the end
Speaker 1: of a trilogy or was it? Actually I don't think
Speaker 1: it was X Men Origins Wolverine. No, that's a spinoff pinoff, yes,
Speaker 1: which wasn't any good? Right? Is that the one terrible?
Speaker 1: Is that the one that has Ryan Reynolds? It does?
Speaker 1: That's what I had, the poorly leads footage, right it did? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And the first appearance of well Deadpool in some ways yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: because he's playing Wade Wilson, Okay, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that was the top three films. Angels and
Speaker 1: Demons was number one when this episode came out, which
Speaker 1: makes a lot more sense now they would do this
Speaker 1: Star Trek and X Men Origins Wolverine was number three.
Speaker 1: Terminut of Salvation coming in at number four, and now
Speaker 1: there was no Chalk Out apparently, but the Couch gag
Speaker 1: is the couch is a pinada and blindfolder rough coming
Speaker 1: and hits it and the family all falls out of
Speaker 1: the pinnada. Have you ever hit a pinada? I have. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had to do one of a birthday party recently
Speaker 1: because the kids couldn't open it. So I just basically
Speaker 1: said here, I'll help you. I just did it, and
Speaker 1: then he's like, oh my god, this can't. Kids are
Speaker 1: saying candy, set of lollies. Now, because I watch much
Speaker 1: American television, I don't like it. Halloween. Could they say
Speaker 1: Halloween candy? Yeah, they got so much candy it Halloween.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's you got lollies kid, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: don't go to England. So you got lollies that means lollipop.
Speaker 1: As I've already discussed, that's true. Yeah, but yeah, candy Olly,
Speaker 1: and Allie's saying candy. The friend saying candy. I want
Speaker 1: candy on Halloween. No, no lollies. Yes yeah. This Astralia
Speaker 1: mate for his America en directed by Chris Clements. This
Speaker 1: episode written by Billy Kimmel and Emxta and Graham As
Speaker 1: I said, Ed Begley Junior as himself.
Speaker 2: Episode Yes, Ed Begley Junior, well known for his advocacy
Speaker 2: of environmental causes. He's driving his solar powered Carly.
Speaker 1: Gets hit by a solar powered tree. He must have
Speaker 1: came into a voice a scream, right, I guess so.
Speaker 1: But he's appeared on the show before as himself. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure everyone's had him to do a scream for
Speaker 1: a future script or something. Why possibly. The episode kicks
Speaker 1: off though, with Brockman's news report on Sky and Nara,
Speaker 1: and he says, like a woman breastfeeding in a restaurant,
Speaker 1: it's free, it's beautiful, but under no circumstances should you
Speaker 1: ever look at it? Yeah, that's true. It's a fair point.
Speaker 1: He recommends using a homemade camera obscurer made from an
Speaker 1: ordinary shoe box and papertowl tube. He has one there
Speaker 1: wasn't made previously. Reminded me of the old show Art
Speaker 1: Attackers to watch when I was a kid. He used
Speaker 1: to always be making ship and be trying to go
Speaker 1: along school holidays. You got your little kid out, and
Speaker 1: then you go and here's something I'm prepared earlier. And
Speaker 1: she'd look a little bit something like this, and I'm like, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: I can't keep up now. I was still put the
Speaker 1: tube in this. The glue hasn't dried yet.
Speaker 2: No, I got in trouble for getting my kid out
Speaker 2: during the cool holiday, so I won't be doing that again.
Speaker 2: Putting your tube in other things, that's correct. And the
Speaker 2: slamming together the glue was sticky. Oh my goodness. By
Speaker 2: the way, at the end of this, when you know
Speaker 2: he's got his he throws a hissy fit. He does
Speaker 2: this is to me reminiscent of and they may have
Speaker 2: meant this, they may have not, But there's a US
Speaker 2: newsman named Bill o'reiley.
Speaker 1: Doing it live. Fuck it, we're doing it live. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it didn't seem exactly like that, but it seemed close enough.
Speaker 1: I thought the exact same thing. I've got that written
Speaker 1: down here, and that was in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: I believe it makes sense because this here though he says,
Speaker 1: because he says, well, I'll just built it live. That's
Speaker 1: what he says, and it just doesn't go well. So yeah,
Speaker 1: because there's trouble finding the end of the tape, why
Speaker 1: is in twenty twenty five still I was trying to
Speaker 1: wrap up a box to post something from eBay the
Speaker 1: other day and still to this day. Finally the end
Speaker 1: of the tape. Look, I used the tape gun down
Speaker 1: to prevent that. But you're just trying to find the
Speaker 1: end of a tape. Have you just got a roll? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean I've got the thing you have on the desk.
Speaker 2: What do you call what do you call that thing?
Speaker 1: The tape dispenser where it sort of flicks, Yeah, genius move.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so this year I definitely thought was Bill O. Raley.
Speaker 1: Fuck it, we're doing it, live good, We're in agreement.
Speaker 1: This was supposed to be pre mate. Fine, I'll do
Speaker 1: it myself. Where is the end of that freaking tape?
Speaker 1: Forget it? We'll do it next week. The eclipses today,
Speaker 1: there's an eclipse. When I say there's any clipse, then
Speaker 1: we get a really beautiful shot that we mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: from space of the eclipse starting to begin, and guys
Speaker 1: are jumping from the roof of the amaligated sunscreen building. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Why because they're clearly overreacting the fact that there's no son.
Speaker 1: That's I'm like, it's not gonna last long. No, no.
Speaker 1: And at Begley, junr Is in his solo car stops
Speaker 1: working on the train lines, but I'm thankfully his trained
Speaker 1: also stops just in time. Yes, and the family are
Speaker 1: all looking through their boxes. They've made the homemade boxes
Speaker 1: to view the eclipse, are in their backyard, and Lisa
Speaker 1: says we've hit p number. Brace your Sales for Umbra
Speaker 1: Bra But Lisa a button, Homer, i should say, trying
Speaker 1: to see it first, just being usual dickheads, which results
Speaker 1: in a tussle that sees Homer squash his viewer and Marge,
Speaker 1: being the beautiful soul that year, she offers hers. Since
Speaker 1: there's going to be another one in North Yemen, as
Speaker 1: you said in twenty twenty seven, which is now only
Speaker 1: two years away, which would have felt like forever a
Speaker 1: way back time. But Marge, you haven't aged it all,
Speaker 1: so you could probably enjoy it. Oh well, voices age
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's weird that that it makes me
Speaker 1: feel old. That joke was made to go. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that thing's off like twenty years far away. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's like that's next two years away. No, no, and yes,
Speaker 1: he note it is true there is one in North
Speaker 1: Yemen twenty twenty seven, but the next one for Australia,
Speaker 1: Brace Your Sales is July twenty second, twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so just over three years from now? Can
Speaker 1: I wait that long? Will you be alive in three years?
Speaker 1: Not the way I'm going. Yeah, who knows. It's time
Speaker 1: there for the eclipse, it's about to begin. They all
Speaker 1: can't believe how beautiful it is, and March just can't
Speaker 1: resist the temptation to look, so she just uses her
Speaker 1: eyes basically, Yeah, and it does. It actually looked really
Speaker 1: quite nice. It looks quite beautiful. Just burns her eyes.
Speaker 1: And I know this is a cartoon, but call me soft.
Speaker 1: I just anything with eyes man just does mean Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: trauma is no good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's that famous film where they slice the person's eye,
Speaker 1: the old surrealist film anderlu That's what debates a from Pixies.
Speaker 1: That's what he says. That's the chorus. So that's not real, right,
Speaker 1: I don't believe so, yeah, because no one slicing for
Speaker 1: a movie, surely, but just didn't know. Maybe Eli Roth, Yeah, maybe,
Speaker 1: but I just I know eyes just funny people. Nicola
Speaker 1: one says, I've got something stuck in my eye, and
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'll do anything. I can't get shit out
Speaker 1: of your eye? What people say sometimes, but what is it?
Speaker 1: What would he do for love? But they always say
Speaker 1: the song doesn't explain it. I'm like, isn't a pretty
Speaker 1: self explainatory because isn't it the fact that he will
Speaker 1: never cheat? I think it's something like that, And I
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't really make sense he'd never cheat for love,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Loves longer with us is. He
Speaker 1: was passed away. So I bought my dad a cameo
Speaker 1: for meat Loaf about a week before he passed away.
Speaker 1: He's my dad's favorite musician. I thought, what are the odds, Like,
Speaker 1: how lucky was that? Except he was a fucking weird
Speaker 1: guy and a cameo. It was worent for like seventeen minutes,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, And I edited it down myself to
Speaker 1: like maybe three and a half because it was just
Speaker 1: a lot of waffling and I don't think he quite
Speaker 1: understood the concept of oh cameo. So I sent the
Speaker 1: message through saying can you say happy bro? I'm got
Speaker 1: some of the lines of can you say, I hope
Speaker 1: you have a great day and you and you act
Speaker 1: like a like a bad out of hell or something
Speaker 1: like that, and say it like a bad out of
Speaker 1: a House and say it like the song. And I
Speaker 1: think I've put in bracket and sing like the song.
Speaker 1: And he goes and he says, he says, open bracket,
Speaker 1: sing like the song bad out of Hell, close bracket.
Speaker 1: Not sure what he means. I'm like, oh, meet cloth Bundy,
Speaker 1: so like you didn't see it. He just he goes
Speaker 1: see it like open bracket like it. He just reads
Speaker 1: what it said on Then I was like, ah, this
Speaker 1: is not what I asked for. Strange cat, make a
Speaker 1: very strange cat. Then as to have seen two out
Speaker 1: of three eight bad, and they sang like three different
Speaker 1: renditions of it. So I was like, he's sang two
Speaker 1: out of three a bad for my dad, Like, can't complain,
Speaker 1: but it was. It was a bizarre, bizarre video. We
Speaker 1: have done any cameos. We're open to doing cameos. Would
Speaker 1: people want cameos from us? We could? We always open
Speaker 1: an account and see what happens. Sure, yeah, it would
Speaker 1: be Guy and Dando Dandol guy. What we need to
Speaker 1: do is need to open up a Guy and Dando
Speaker 1: one and open up like an alien holy one and
Speaker 1: see he gets more.
Speaker 2: I don't think my ego could take that. Are they
Speaker 2: just are they just done audio? Or they do them
Speaker 2: on video as well?
Speaker 1: Cameos yeah, Jesus Christ, mean where are you? Of course
Speaker 1: they're videos. I don't use it. You have seen a cameo? Oh,
Speaker 1: I know of them, the videos people film on their phone. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, get to hold the kittens or something like
Speaker 1: that while we do them. Wow. Yeah, cameos make some
Speaker 1: real money. Come soon here. You're gonna make it somehow,
Speaker 1: don't we. But at the hospital now, and Hibbitt says
Speaker 1: that Marge's eyes must be covered for two whole weeks. Now,
Speaker 1: that line there as I got to the end confused
Speaker 1: me because I went, two weeks have not transpired during
Speaker 1: this episode. Lisa wasn't at the church for two weeks.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. No, Marge takes her blindfold off
Speaker 1: at the end, feels like it's been two days. Her
Speaker 1: eyes are okay, three tops. I don't think it's ever been.
Speaker 1: I think it's like one day. It's bizarre. I just
Speaker 1: thought that there's just being uncovered for two weeks, and
Speaker 1: then it's just I just don't have that line in there,
Speaker 1: just that she needs to have a rest and no
Speaker 1: stress because Homa says that he'll be her seeing Homer,
Speaker 1: which I thought was a nice name, and he attempts
Speaker 1: to describe the room and then quickly takes a break
Speaker 1: because well he sucks at it, and then it just
Speaker 1: gives up. And it's not necessarily funny, but as far
Speaker 1: as modern Homer goes, it was inoffensive enough to for
Speaker 1: me just give it a pass. Whatever if it's or
Speaker 1: whatever it's as you get to see if it. Then
Speaker 1: warns that any stress could cause the blood pressure Marger's
Speaker 1: eyeballs to increase or whatever. It just makes this no stress. Essentially,
Speaker 1: she needs no stress in her life right now, and
Speaker 1: it will lead to text avery syndrome. And he puts
Speaker 1: on the old cartoon wolves are all taken. They're taking
Speaker 1: all of our women. That's what Homo says at the
Speaker 1: end of it. I mean, I understand why they had
Speaker 1: to put the text Avery cartoon on, so younger of
Speaker 1: yours and understand what's going on. I think that kind
Speaker 1: of joke works better if you don't show the cartoon.
Speaker 1: We call it takes avery syndrome. Yeah, maybe just show
Speaker 1: like a hole of a picture or something. Maybe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at home, the family have planned a meal along with
Speaker 1: flowers from Mars, treating her just like the queen that
Speaker 1: she is. And every day's been like the first ten
Speaker 1: minutes of Mother's Day. And Homo says, everything is taken
Speaker 1: care of, but then Lisa calls him into the kitchen quickly.
Speaker 1: Is there any other way to enter a kitchen? And
Speaker 1: he sees that it's full of rats and just like
Speaker 1: that delightful movie that he taped in the theater. But
Speaker 1: a nostalgia for us there right, the old cams. You
Speaker 1: still get some cams, I speke to someone recently said
Speaker 1: they saw a cam of a movie recently. I'll collbably shit,
Speaker 1: these things still exists. Oh no, cams are still very
Speaker 1: big and increasing quality all the time. So here, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like to think that Homer isn't quite up to
Speaker 1: two thousand nine technology, and you're still doing VCDs the
Speaker 1: two discs misspelling ratitude on the disc by the way,
Speaker 1: And by the way, was this a shout out or
Speaker 1: sledge to former Simpson stuff a Brad Bird the director
Speaker 1: of RATATOUI. Oh, I wouldn't got a sledge. It would
Speaker 1: have just been a tongue in cheap joke, kind of
Speaker 1: like when George Lucas and Spielbeakers have their each other's
Speaker 1: characters in their films and whatnot. I mean they love
Speaker 1: brad Bird. How could you not love brad Bird? Give
Speaker 1: us the Nelon Giant, that's correat it was the Incredibles.
Speaker 1: Give us tomorrow Land. What was it? Lasted girl? Oh,

Speaker 1: first illegal My first introduction of a cam was Space
Speaker 1: Jam in nineteen ninety six. The movie was still at
Speaker 1: the space Cam, yes, exactly, well played. It was still
Speaker 1: at the movies, and I remember being in the next
Speaker 1: door Everor's house and his uncle Joe came over and
Speaker 1: he said, you guys want watch Space Jam And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's my mum. If we can go,
Speaker 1: you know, I've got it here and like King of
Speaker 1: the Kid and he had the VHS tape and I said, like,
Speaker 1: Space Jam is written on it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what the idea I've been able to watch a movie
Speaker 1: that's at the movies at home. I didn't quite understand
Speaker 1: what he meant.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that's someone you could trust, by the way,
Speaker 2: because Joe could be very easily Space Jam kids jump
Speaker 2: into the van and check it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's his space game? Jam in the band? It's
Speaker 1: time to slam nowh my god. But he puts it
Speaker 1: in and fucking shure a shit shit quote. I still
Speaker 1: at the VHS tape, still got the copy of because
Speaker 1: he then because he was like the he was that
Speaker 1: guy that always had the burnt David's and whatnot, and
Speaker 1: he ripped it from one he gave me a copy.
Speaker 2: He's like Christopher walking in Big Now, little man, give
Speaker 2: the dis to you.
Speaker 1: Not at this VHR staatee VH state and yeah, I
Speaker 1: still to this day have it and it's just here
Speaker 1: people laughing. You see some heads and whatnot. But fuck man,
Speaker 1: sure a ship that changed, honestly changed my life. That
Speaker 1: is a moment I will never forget. Can you remember
Speaker 1: your first cam mine was probably Batman? I think my
Speaker 1: friend JP brought brought a VHS rip of Batman? But
Speaker 1: was it? Was it a cam though? What I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say. It was it like your first cat? Wait? No, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: no it was I was a cam Okay, it wasn't
Speaker 1: it was like a it was still it was a
Speaker 1: blank VHS filmed at the cinema. Beautiful. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: think we're all sort of.
Speaker 2: Gathering this ship quality, but hey, we're watching Batman at home, unpresidented.
Speaker 1: It's hard to describe the thrill. I think I even
Speaker 1: put a tweet at this about once. It's like hard
Speaker 1: to describe the thrill to the younger kids now of
Speaker 1: buying a burnt DVD from the market and the thriller
Speaker 1: on the way home, just hoping that it's gonna be
Speaker 1: good quality. They always sid you're great quality, great quality,
Speaker 1: and you get how you put in like, ah, this
Speaker 1: is ship whatever. Five Bucks. But when you eventually bought
Speaker 1: a burnt one and it was a good quality, You're like,
Speaker 1: I've cracked the matrix. Yeah, oh yeah, my friend's Mark
Speaker 1: and Nat we used to go to a ship of
Speaker 1: in the plastic sleeves, so good times. Just trying to
Speaker 1: explain the concept to kids. Now, oh, you had to
Speaker 1: like buy movies kids, Aliens are like, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Like every movie is accessible whenever I want it from
Speaker 1: on any device and any room of the house at
Speaker 1: any time. What are you talking about? That's your lost kid.
Speaker 1: But the rat uses Homer as like a ventrilous dummy
Speaker 1: kind of thing and makes him a nice gets to
Speaker 1: make a nice meal. But then he says it's good,
Speaker 1: not great. So he says he's getting the rat poison
Speaker 1: and all the rats bail. But now it shall we
Speaker 1: viel shopping plaza and Homer is buying rat poison at
Speaker 1: pest buy. I play on best Buy. Wise guys, the
Speaker 1: guy working out what is it with kids and candy
Speaker 1: killing poison? Yes, it's not to see him making an
Speaker 1: appearance here. He said, you get rid of all those
Speaker 1: dirty rats and the clean ones too. It's little things
Speaker 1: like that that's that's a joke. I enjoyed it, they said,
Speaker 1: as little helper tries to eat her rabbit toy, which
Speaker 1: I thought was the life in hal rabbit. But it's not.
Speaker 1: It's going to add to it. No, But it looks
Speaker 1: a little bit like it, a little bit. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: they said don't. He said, don't fight in front of
Speaker 1: the poison man. And on their way home, they're still squabbling,
Speaker 1: and it causes Homer to drive off a bridge, crashing
Speaker 1: the car by a lake. He then finds a boat,
Speaker 1: but they're too heavy, and he says, I need to
Speaker 1: get the baby, the dog, and the poison across the river,
Speaker 1: but can only take one at a time. I can't
Speaker 1: leave the baby alone with the poison. I can't leave
Speaker 1: the dog alone with the baby. Can someone please help
Speaker 1: me with this puzzle, which is an iconic puzzle. They fox,
Speaker 1: the goose and the eggs. Yeah, the clea.
Speaker 2: This puzzle is actually the puzzle that's most widely sighted
Speaker 2: when it comes to this kind of brain teas he
Speaker 2: has ducks, but.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the visual is the goose apparently. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was always a fox, a chicken and something chicken.
Speaker 1: It's a bird of some kind and eggs, and.
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm gonna have this a real brain
Speaker 2: to This is the reason I love die have with
Speaker 2: a vengeance. But and I've seen it many, many times,
Speaker 2: but they've got that thing in the middle where it's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you've got a four gallon jug and three gallon jug,
Speaker 2: but I need to you need to put exactly two
Speaker 2: gallons of water on this thing otherwise this thing's.
Speaker 1: Gonna blow up.
Speaker 2: I'm like, is gonna have to fast forward through this
Speaker 2: because I'll never get it. They always get it and
Speaker 2: they save New York. But it's like, oh, man, i'd
Speaker 2: be fucked. I hate, so you have to not that
Speaker 2: I hate because you can't do it. You have to
Speaker 2: skip it. Oh it's that's what I usually take a piss.
Speaker 2: So what don't you like about it?
Speaker 1: Though? Because I'm dumb. It makes me feel dumb. And likewise,
Speaker 1: this day.
Speaker 2: It's like, I'm sure if my brain wasn't fried from
Speaker 2: various whatevers, various misadventures and you know, brain rot, I'll
Speaker 2: be like, oh, I'm sure I can weave this up,
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, oh, no, to compligate it.
Speaker 1: That's one of the people do go to trivia nights
Speaker 1: that I've always said the perfect trivia night is the
Speaker 1: one that questions are easy enough to answer, but you
Speaker 1: gotta throw in two or three that are really difficult,
Speaker 1: but the majority need to be pretty easy to answer. No, easy, easy,
Speaker 1: but enough. You don't want to go to a trivia
Speaker 1: night and never be able to answer any questions because
Speaker 1: you'd never go again. You never go again. You feel stupid.
Speaker 3: Let's see, I need to get the baby, the dog,
Speaker 3: and the poison across the river, but I can only
Speaker 3: take one thing at a time. I can't leave the
Speaker 3: baby alone with the poison, and I can't leave the
Speaker 3: dog alone with the baby. And someone help me with
Speaker 3: this puzzles, Frank, help me figure this out?
Speaker 1: Yo over here.
Speaker 3: By high great time to nap Einstein.
Speaker 1: This was such a bizarre series of events that leads
Speaker 1: to all this, so that the crash that go to
Speaker 1: the poison store crashes, the car finds the boat, but
Speaker 1: it leads to a pretty enjoyable ad break. As a
Speaker 1: kid will be left thinking how do you do that?
Speaker 1: Wanted to solve it, and I think it's simple enough
Speaker 1: for a kid to be able to figure it out.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But is it one of
Speaker 1: those not for me? But is it one of those
Speaker 1: things that is not meant to be able to be solved?
Speaker 1: I feel I think homer solution actually works. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that he's leaving the baby alone for a second,
Speaker 1: but like that shit would actually work.
Speaker 2: I know we're meant to do our googling prior to
Speaker 2: the show, but I'm going to do a little bit
Speaker 2: right now and say and learning to solve a river
Speaker 2: crossing puzzle. The solution is, take the goose across, come
Speaker 2: by empty, take the beans across, bring the goose back,
Speaker 2: let the goose on the bank, take the fox across,
Speaker 2: come back empty, take the goose across.
Speaker 1: I think hom solves it, right. I think Homo solved it,
Speaker 1: except he left Maggie on the doorstep of a convent
Speaker 1: of a convent. But otherwise, yeah, he did all right.
Speaker 1: The Homer here is replacing it with the dog, the poison,
Speaker 1: and the baby. So Homer has solved it. As we
Speaker 1: get back, he's taking Maggie first and replacing her with
Speaker 1: the poison. Then sounds a little Helbert, then returning for her.
Speaker 1: Now that way, she's never felt She's never left alone
Speaker 1: with the poison or the dog, but it means that
Speaker 1: she's left alone. He will then arrive home at most,
Speaker 1: which is what very correct, I'll be home letter at most.
Speaker 1: He starts going be sads. The little helper starts swimmings
Speaker 1: like we're not listening to me at all. We don't
Speaker 1: know it needs your help. Then he says Cleidus, who
Speaker 1: asks he's got the fox the duck in the eggs.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, though Cleidus's puzzle done solves itself. But by
Speaker 1: having the fox just eat everything, that's the end of
Speaker 1: that puzzle. Homer leaves Maggie by Saint Theresa's I'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye on you. I'll I'll keep watching just in
Speaker 1: case God's busy making tornadoes or not existing haha. And
Speaker 1: the Catholics now consider her when a guy's discarded little
Speaker 1: miracles and they take her away. Then Homer pleads to
Speaker 1: have her back, but then asks why she was listening
Speaker 1: the first place. He mentions the dog and the poison
Speaker 1: and whatnot, and he wants to take her back to
Speaker 1: the rat infested house. So of course she refuses to
Speaker 1: let him have her back, and he mentions, do you
Speaker 1: have a husband. She says her husband is or she's
Speaker 1: married to Jesus and he's married to wonder Woman. Sure,
Speaker 1: but she slams the door in his face and has
Speaker 1: got little Mary of scram Yeah, they'd be hard to
Speaker 1: believe the church would just keep her. But for the
Speaker 1: second story, let's just go with it. Catholic nuns are
Speaker 1: pretty hardcore. Yeah, we've seen the Blues brothers. Oh absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We're now at home and he tells the kids that
Speaker 1: he has to lie to margin about losing Maga. We
Speaker 1: can't let her know. But Maggie's not injured. But she's
Speaker 1: been taken into this comment ove. He hasn't necessarily lost her.
Speaker 2: No, but it's not a bad setup in terms of like,
Speaker 2: oh she well, not just that she's blind, but she
Speaker 2: can't be stressed or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so you can't there's a reason for the
Speaker 1: sub to fu That's what thought. I think they've put
Speaker 1: a lot of effort into trying to cover cracks, but
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave too many threads dangling. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: So Lisa suggests she infiltrates or they infiltrate the church
Speaker 1: as a pretend. None. Homer says, I will not be
Speaker 1: doing that doing it at all, and then it cuts
Speaker 1: to him saying, see, I told you what bet be
Speaker 1: putting on a dress That seems to be the flavor
Speaker 1: of the month at the moment, the jokes where you
Speaker 1: think something's gonna happen and then it doesn't.
Speaker 2: But traditional, yeah, like I'll never do this something ar
Speaker 2: is never never never cut to them doing it, and
Speaker 2: it's like, you thought we were going to do that,
Speaker 2: old sore, We're not doing it.
Speaker 1: I think last week it was well, this is not raining.
Speaker 1: She told you it's not raining. Like, ah okay. That
Speaker 1: seems to be the gag at the moment, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure I like it. When it happens two episodes in
Speaker 1: a row, happens up for a lot more. It seems
Speaker 1: to be the thing what happens in the Simpsons writers
Speaker 1: at the moment, it's like they write three or four
Speaker 1: at a time and they go, that's cool, let's just
Speaker 1: work it into everything. Homer gets. They get there at
Speaker 1: the church, Homer shows it's not a church, that it's comment.
Speaker 1: It shows off his costume, but she tells him to
Speaker 1: leave so she can get into character, and she turns
Speaker 1: her little Darwin chain thing into this what's it called that?
Speaker 1: The Jesus fish. What's it called there? I think it's
Speaker 1: got Jesus fish. It's just this is something on those lines.
Speaker 1: I'm not religious, apologies, it's it's got a name stans
Speaker 1: of eye. But she pushes out the word Darwin and
Speaker 1: it's it's the Jesus fish. I was just called Jesus fish. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm a lifelong Catholic man. And she claims to be
Speaker 1: she Evan's a door. She claims to be a lost,
Speaker 1: little sinner who's lost, a little sinner who's lost her way.
Speaker 1: And how do you how do you feel about neeling?
Speaker 1: I like it, come on in, make me taking many
Speaker 1: bad ways. But she says, you must wear your clothes modestly,
Speaker 1: not like sister Marilyn as you said you like you're
Speaker 1: a big fan. Well, ye're doing her seven year rich
Speaker 1: thing of being over the grade and one of the
Speaker 1: most iconic visuals in Hollywood history. I would say so. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She sees the nursery and the singing the song which
Speaker 1: was definitely Maggie Roswell. She's just got their voice. If
Speaker 1: you're happy and you know it, that's a sin. She
Speaker 1: asked about Maggie because she can't see her in the nursery.
Speaker 1: But the sister says that, well, you're looking for I
Speaker 1: want to babies or I'm want to preasures or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't worry promise upon us. So in nine months,
Speaker 1: this place and me feel from floor to ceiling she
Speaker 1: might have you might have something at the back, maybe
Speaker 1: because the back you even put it out. Yet this
Speaker 1: is me looking for a kitten at the pound. I
Speaker 1: felt really dirty asking for a kitten at the pound
Speaker 1: because the place is full of cats. Oh yeah, and
Speaker 1: you just know that everyone wants a kitten, right And
Speaker 1: there's all these catches looking at you and you can
Speaker 1: just tal they this none of the anise. They go, yeah, sure, okay,
Speaker 1: well kittens are around the corners. Meanwhile, there's like one
Speaker 1: hundred catches sitting there going please love me. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: you've been I probably would, I would if i'd no kids,
Speaker 1: but you've been through some shit. My kids are gonna
Speaker 1: want to like touch you on the face and stuff,
Speaker 1: and I just know you're not gonna like that.
Speaker 2: Even when it happens that I'll be getting another cat,
Speaker 2: I'll be getting an older cat.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's fine. Though that, Oh yeah, of course, but
Speaker 1: get two though that's good questly friends, of course get three? No, two,
Speaker 1: you've overdone I did overdo it, yes, but I tried
Speaker 1: to get down to two'd be gone. I don't love
Speaker 1: you not horrible too. Oh yeah, looked to me like
Speaker 1: the fuck? What do you mean? There's a reason that
Speaker 1: we all remember that scene from Harry Anderson's Yeah. But
Speaker 1: then she says, what are you doubting Thomas as you're
Speaker 1: mentioning early more of a curious George, Well, you little monkey,
Speaker 1: is time for you to spend some time with the
Speaker 1: man in the yellow hat, which was a good line
Speaker 1: and accustomed her chatting to an image of Jesus the halo.
Speaker 1: And yeah, the jokes are coming thick and fast. Here
Speaker 1: wee overall pretty clever. I thought they're quite topical, not topical,
Speaker 1: good references that cause, you could say. But Lisa is
Speaker 1: now questioning Jesus. Why would Mother Superior? Why would she
Speaker 1: lie about Maggie? What's what's she trying to hide? And
Speaker 1: then she notices a jewel in the roof, which raises suspicions,
Speaker 1: and then another sister says that the jewel will lead
Speaker 1: her to Maggie and that she doesn't like the superior
Speaker 1: because she always has to be the court back when
Speaker 1: are playing football. She says that, Lisa, you must solve
Speaker 1: a series of clues, an increasingly difficult series of challenges
Speaker 1: to my intellect. I would love this. I love treasure
Speaker 1: hunts and shit like that. Not just treasure hunts, but
Speaker 1: like just fine shit. It's like go to hear to hear.
Speaker 1: My kids love it too. I think I'm really surprised
Speaker 1: you don't like mysteries, solving clues and stuff.
Speaker 2: Sometimes yes, sometimes it's not. It's not necessarily my first stop.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get to the fireworks factory. I do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She points to the first clue, which is a stained
Speaker 1: glass window. She says that she's only twenty three, and
Speaker 1: then cows to the corner lot of Dracula, which was random,
Speaker 1: doesn't really need to be there, and it says cart
Speaker 1: daem in coort a at anama, which is to seek
Speaker 1: God with heart and soul in Latin, like yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: and she notices the organ. She's like, oh, heart and soul.
Speaker 1: She plays heart and soul, and the little castle appears,
Speaker 1: and a few mechanics like mouse trap all just keeps
Speaker 1: going and going and going, this sort of waiting there
Speaker 1: patiently but bored. I like the dig here though, at
Speaker 1: these kind of movies where you know, a window or
Speaker 1: doors opening and just excessive compartments go, which makes absolutely
Speaker 1: no sense logically, but they're there for the sake of
Speaker 1: they're a fun visual to watch in the absolutely I
Speaker 1: don't think it does Jones ever have elaborate things like this,
Speaker 1: but quite from seeing films, it's this door slides and
Speaker 1: this thing, so it's like, why why are they going
Speaker 1: to all this evidence to make all this happen? It
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess most people think of the Indiana Jones
Speaker 2: movies when they think of that. They're not quite as
Speaker 2: elaborate in Raiders and they like but I think they
Speaker 2: certainly have them, and there have been many Raiders knockoffs.
Speaker 1: So I think feel like they have to up the
Speaker 1: ante a little bit. It's kind of similar to the
Speaker 1: next scene here as well, because meanwhile home Marge hasn't
Speaker 1: held Maggie for all day, so it's going to be
Speaker 1: one day all day, It's only been one fucking day,
Speaker 1: and she asked him to hand her to her, so
Speaker 1: He then paints his hand. He puts the eyes in
Speaker 1: his hand much like cartman hand if a little. It
Speaker 1: didn't even really need to do that because it was
Speaker 1: Marge're going to see it, I don't think, so that's
Speaker 1: my point, My point being that was a joke, visual
Speaker 1: joke for the viewer. Yes, because technically Marge can't see anything, okay,
Speaker 1: And it was the originally I had. Why is he
Speaker 1: closed on she can't see bath? I guess she's closed.
Speaker 2: Necessary painting of mouth and eyes not necessarily, But to
Speaker 2: quote my man Rainier Wolfcastle, that that's the job.
Speaker 1: That is the joke. Yes, And she says, you're not
Speaker 1: normally this greedy. And this is where we get the
Speaker 1: moment I told you, I think it's just like that
Speaker 1: sound was it cartman eating my hand up a piece
Speaker 1: of chicken? Oh? Is that chubby baby? But that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that you can't have a little dinner.
Speaker 3: Hmmm. Not Usually they're screedy, cool literue, getting suspicious.
Speaker 1: You'll call it. I'm hungry. So then the mechanics finally
Speaker 1: finished for Lisa, and she finds a crypto message that
Speaker 1: says what if I read every other? She says, what
Speaker 1: if I read every other word, so it's it's dumbing
Speaker 1: it down a bit. But this is a kid show, sure,
Speaker 1: so you know younger viewers need this kind of thing.
Speaker 1: And by saying that it's basically what they're trying to do,
Speaker 1: I feel like Ian and Billy is guy the younger
Speaker 1: viewer without saying what it is going, here's what she's
Speaker 1: going to be doing. You try and do it as well.
Speaker 1: So she reads the first one says one more time.
Speaker 1: You're a hopeless numb skull. Right, So she tries again,
Speaker 1: but not because the war told hers so, just because
Speaker 1: she wants to. And this time it says, turn around,
Speaker 1: seek Springfields, the biggest man made ring. She gazes out
Speaker 1: the window and a beautiful shot is looking over the
Speaker 1: city and she sees lard Lad with his big donut.
Speaker 1: She sees smoke clouds coming out of some sort of factory,
Speaker 1: the haul of Hoop Repair Center, which is the kind
Speaker 1: of thing only would appear to the Simpsons Repair Center.
Speaker 1: I like that. And otto otools zero percent down oversized ovals.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Oversized oval, So I thought it was
Speaker 1: gonna be overalls. Yeah, what's an oversized oval? Football? Oval?
Speaker 1: What was it? Anyway. She doesn't know which one it
Speaker 1: is though, which which one is the key to holding
Speaker 1: the gem? Cut to the commercial puzzle the second what
Speaker 1: Lisa just said? Then we come back from commercial as
Speaker 1: the close up of Lisa basically you think she's asking
Speaker 1: if you're asking us watching at home, but no, she's
Speaker 1: actually asking Meal how. She says, well, did you get it?
Speaker 1: Says no, I didn't. Unfortunately, I'm a smart I'm not
Speaker 1: a smart note, I'm just a weak one, late brother.
Speaker 1: Lisa then realizes the biggest ring in Springfield comes from
Speaker 1: the ball in the bell tower. Now I'll get to
Speaker 1: that in a few moments. Is actually a link here
Speaker 1: to National Treasure. So she sees a keep out sign
Speaker 1: or enter I'm not a cop. She goes in and
Speaker 1: we see two people in cloaks following her. Now at home,
Speaker 1: Marge kisses Bart good night. I guess I could enjoy
Speaker 1: the fact that this was a fun b plot where
Speaker 1: it was only it wasn't much of the episode. No,
Speaker 1: every bit sort of made sense. It was nice, but
Speaker 1: Bart's making a genuine effort to try and keep the
Speaker 1: charade going. Absolutely yeah, So she says a time for
Speaker 1: she I'll be there in a minute. Lisa. She kisses
Speaker 1: Bart good night. He jumps out the window, who fixes
Speaker 1: his hair up, puts her clothes on case, she touches it.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. She says, good night. Lisa is the reply.
Speaker 1: The one thing you can't do is the voice. The voice.
Speaker 1: So he things quick and he gets the saxophone out.
Speaker 1: Now Marge doing the scatting to the sacks. I was like, aw, whatever,
Speaker 1: but no thinking on his feet. I didn't mind that.
Speaker 1: Then we see the cloaked figures looking for Lisa. When
Speaker 1: they walked in, I liked that I could tell who
Speaker 1: it was just from their mouths. And I don't know
Speaker 1: whether that means they're really well designed or I'm just
Speaker 1: a super nerd a weak nerd both, a little column
Speaker 1: a little combe possibly, yeah. But Lisa confronts them. The
Speaker 1: turns that the comic book guy and Skinner and they
Speaker 1: are also seeking the gem of Saint Theresa because they're
Speaker 1: from an ancient order of history, buffs who hide in
Speaker 1: the shadows and call themselves the Brethren of the Quest
Speaker 1: because they do their slothing in mothers. This isissan quest Minivan.
Speaker 1: Lisa asked them to tell them all that they know.
Speaker 1: Skinner refuses until she says, does mother know about this
Speaker 1: van being used? And of course he start telling her
Speaker 1: the story. And legend has it that on her deathbed,
Speaker 1: Saint Teresa of Avila had a vision of a jewel
Speaker 1: that would usher in an era of peace and harmony.
Speaker 1: She dispatched a team of to the New World to
Speaker 1: see the gem. To seek the gem, I should say,
Speaker 1: And then we get footage of the nuns. This was
Speaker 1: so wacky. I thought you would have enjoyed this. The
Speaker 1: nuns being pirates on a pirate ship using their rulers,
Speaker 1: swords and whatnot. Yeah, and they landed on what is
Speaker 1: now Philadelphia and the Philadelphia fanatic fanatic Yeah, with the
Speaker 1: pH Yeah, with a phys the mascot from the baseball team.
Speaker 1: Then they turned their ship Timber into the convent. They
Speaker 1: like that. They flipped the ship upside down and they
Speaker 1: began the content. That was all right. Yeah, I thought
Speaker 1: everything was good in this. And Benjamin Franklin overhears their messages.
Speaker 1: They're talking about it their their mission, and he and
Speaker 1: the other Freemasons like George Washington and King George the Third,
Speaker 1: they all staged a phony wall of independence to cover
Speaker 1: up their search for the gem so wacky. I didn't
Speaker 1: mind it though. Yeah, and then the nuns then fled
Speaker 1: and they built, they built Springfield or they just set
Speaker 1: shop in Springfield. I think they just set up shops,
Speaker 1: set up shoppel near the Springfield sign. Anyway. I think
Speaker 1: they's up building the sign, which is sure the Springfield
Speaker 1: Sign wasn't quite finished. I missed that part. I was
Speaker 1: right near the Springfield sign anyway.
Speaker 3: Legend and Wikipedia have it that the gem will be
Speaker 3: revealed during the first full moon after a Shuler eclipse.
Speaker 1: That's tonight. One question remains, why did you come here?
Speaker 1: Because I cleverly deduced the answer to Springfield's biggest ring.
Speaker 3: It gives me no pleasure to see You're a deduction
Speaker 3: was forty.
Speaker 1: This is a fake peoper machine bell. I have not
Speaker 1: seen National Treasure. Assume you right. Films that I have
Speaker 1: been told are really really enjoyable, really really fun. They
Speaker 1: made a second one kind of fun. Now. Apparently it's
Speaker 1: a liberty bell used in the film. And it's similar
Speaker 1: to this, where it's not real or something like it's
Speaker 1: a twist or a turn. It's been a long time
Speaker 1: since I've seen the National Treasure movies. But apparently this
Speaker 1: bell is a reference to the Liberty Bell. Now, as
Speaker 1: he says here that this bell here is paper macheame.
Speaker 1: The real one was melted down in World War II
Speaker 1: to make Civil War chest sets. Lisa then looks out
Speaker 1: and finally noticed the biggest ring comic book. Guy. Oh,
Speaker 1: I see it too. Skinner is looking for it. He
Speaker 1: can't quite see it. No, he's saying that he sees it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: as he leaves. I liked this right. So when he arrives,
Speaker 1: Skinner then says, oh, the word ring. Now older viewers
Speaker 1: would go well, obviously, but younger viewers need this, I
Speaker 1: think because if you maybe you can't read a bit
Speaker 1: older you can't read as well. If you can't read,
Speaker 1: you would have no idea what's happening now. So you
Speaker 1: need to have him say that just to make sure
Speaker 1: the little kids watching can follow along as well. And
Speaker 1: I thought it's really nice, As I said, a family
Speaker 1: could really sit down and enjoy this. I think it's
Speaker 1: a really fun mystery. Good for you. King of the Kids.

Speaker 1: today for as little as just one dollar at patreon
Speaker 1: dot com slash four finger discount. Unfortunately, they get there
Speaker 1: and mister Burns and Smithers are there with the hounds
Speaker 1: if it isn't the Tardi Boys and Nancy clueless, and
Speaker 1: he's known about the gem for years. He joined the
Speaker 1: Freemasons before it was trendy. His eyes on the dollar
Speaker 1: bill and also that is his pyramid on the bill
Speaker 1: as well. He then makes a joke about Smithers being
Speaker 1: in Albina, which I didn't get at first, but then
Speaker 1: I'll wait a minute. It's the Da Vinci code. It
Speaker 1: is a character Silas Silas played by Paul Bettany. Yeah,
Speaker 1: also known as ultrom No Visions, Vision Yes Master and
Speaker 1: Commander Beautiful Mind, Oh Yes, Beautiful Mind of course, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but mostly known for mostly known as Vision these days
Speaker 1: of course, yep. But yeah, so that's a reference to Silas,
Speaker 1: which I thought first, I'm like, Albina, what the hell
Speaker 1: is going on here? But you know, da Vinci code
Speaker 1: in case you didn't know, you guys playing at home. Least,
Speaker 1: Then Sea's writing on the big Springfield letters, great crimes
Speaker 1: Kill Holy Sage, and Skinner says to one the sage,
Speaker 1: you must go warn them. At least, the points out
Speaker 1: that a secret message, this awkwardly worded is always nanogram
Speaker 1: in these movies and whatnot. It's mister Burns to that's
Speaker 1: a very DaVinci code thing. I think that's I think
Speaker 1: those books are full of anagrams. And yeah. So then
Speaker 1: mister Burns tells her to unscram with the letters to
Speaker 1: spout the location of the gem, while Skinner and Comic
Speaker 1: book Guy dig their own graves, and comic book Guy
Speaker 1: calls on a help of Superman. I believes in you
Speaker 1: for years, Please can help me dig this giant grave.
Speaker 1: Then finally the final commercial, now and can you try
Speaker 1: and figure out the answer because we can't. We come
Speaker 1: back and Lisa are spelt it out. It is regally
Speaker 1: the rock Gem is Lisa and mister Burns's first things
Speaker 1: that gem is inside of her. He's going to cut
Speaker 1: her over, but this points out and know that she
Speaker 1: is the gem, and he agrees. And since Saint Theresa
Speaker 1: wouldn't want a bobble, she'd want a pure young girl,
Speaker 1: a pretty dark gay here. Of course, Saint Teresa wouldn't
Speaker 1: be interested in the mere bubble. Her greatest treasure would
Speaker 1: be a pure young girl. You are pure? Aren't you
Speaker 1: just kissing male house count? No?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Oh? Oh shit does kissing meal house count?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Doesn't count at all. Then she thinks that she'll bring
Speaker 1: well peace, And how brilliant of God to remove by
Speaker 1: skepticism by making me the trasen one. So you're saying
Speaker 1: earlier it's all about Lisa all the time. So she's
Speaker 1: a bit sort of arrogant here. But comic book Guy
Speaker 1: points out that the gem must be brought to the
Speaker 1: convent by sunrise, which is not too far away. So
Speaker 1: they agreed to take Burns's helicopter, but the most dangle
Speaker 1: from the skids, and Smither says it feels good to
Speaker 1: help someone doesn't, and he says, no, it feels weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know why Smithers and Burns would help them,
Speaker 1: I guess because Smithers wants world peace. I like to
Speaker 1: think this here wasn't Burns is doing this with Smithers
Speaker 1: doing it. That they dropped them off, and I thought
Speaker 1: they're going to cush into the convent because they sort
Speaker 1: of trail off and look like they're going to crash.
Speaker 1: But that's the last we see of Burns and Smithers,
Speaker 1: and then the nuns are singing, Oh fortuna, which is
Speaker 1: Shit's about to go down. It's very epic. Well, I
Speaker 1: remember they stole this or they tweaked it. They put
Speaker 1: a clock in it for the This ad is big,
Speaker 1: one of the most iconic os ads of all time.
Speaker 1: Culton draft. You haven't seen it, check it out, Culton Draft.
Speaker 1: This ad is big ad? Was it? This ad? Better
Speaker 1: sell beer costs of money? That? Yeah, yes, it's a
Speaker 1: good ad, and at least interrupts them as they're singing.
Speaker 1: But they're not fussed with her at all because the
Speaker 1: gem is actually Maggie. She points out how Lisa, it
Speaker 1: was wrong, how many sentences to start with the word regular,
Speaker 1: And I've oh, I'm glad this makes I'm glad They
Speaker 1: pointed this out because it didn't say it didn't make
Speaker 1: sense to you. It didn't at all. No, and this
Speaker 1: this sass because it actually reads, it's really Maggie Sherlock.
Speaker 1: Now this sass actually works because the clues have been
Speaker 1: kind of sassy throughout because the first one, remember said
Speaker 1: a nuts scar. Now she says here, well, only makes
Speaker 1: sense if I get the answer wrong first. Maybe however,
Speaker 1: I thought I thought that at first, right, But then
Speaker 1: I think that there's a case to be argue that
Speaker 1: the whole time they were searching for a physical gem.
Speaker 1: So by saying it's really Maggie actually works as well,
Speaker 1: whether Lisa gets it right or wrong. Her point because
Speaker 1: they're looking for a physical gem, that's true, and it
Speaker 1: says it's really Maggie. It works both ways. But because
Speaker 1: they're looking for a stone, it's like, it's really Maggie,
Speaker 1: you're a stone. You make a very persuasive argument. But
Speaker 1: the sun rises, and so begins a new era of
Speaker 1: peace and prosperity in Springfield. A rainbow cast across the town.
Speaker 1: The owners of discount mattresses and matches for less embrace,
Speaker 1: The postman and the dog start loving each other. The
Speaker 1: referee and the player start kissing, and then Snake's electric
Speaker 1: electric chair set to massage, and then four centuries of
Speaker 1: patients have finally paid off. But Marge arrives to reclaim
Speaker 1: her baby because a mother knows, because she said, how
Speaker 1: do you know? Now? Look, it's kind of lazy, it's
Speaker 1: lazy out explaining that Marge is there. She just knows.
Speaker 1: But who'll we to question a mother? Story wise, we're
Speaker 1: not into it. Emotionally, of course we're into it. I mean,
Speaker 1: she she didn't first. I thought she got there by herself,
Speaker 1: but we latter see the Homer drove her there at least,
Speaker 1: but she somehow knew. Well, Hope would have had an idea,
Speaker 1: because he was the one that planted least. They're in
Speaker 1: the first place. That's true, so it kind of makes sense.
Speaker 1: But when she picks her up, all the peace stops,
Speaker 1: the lights go down. Lisa says she must stay here
Speaker 1: because she's the gem, and there's been reports of even
Speaker 1: less road rage in Shelbyville, and Marge thinks about it,
Speaker 1: it would be nice if the first thing I saw
Speaker 1: was a world at peace. When she takes the blindfold off,
Speaker 1: and then Maggie takes off the blindfold and she says
Speaker 1: she's even more beautiful than she remembered. Very nice moment.
Speaker 1: That's sweet. I'm sorry, but I know God would never
Speaker 1: ask a mother to sacrifice her child for the good
Speaker 1: of the world. Again, that was well played, right, because
Speaker 1: normally the paus wouldn't be there. Right. Normally it would
Speaker 1: just be the first bit without the again, because the
Speaker 1: joke would usually be the viewer knows that it's happened,
Speaker 1: and Marge's a bit oblivious. But Marge acknowledging it came
Speaker 1: out of nowhere for me, and I liked it. They
Speaker 1: added a little bit, oh is there something different to
Speaker 1: the usual? Usually it's like this, Marge will say that
Speaker 1: first bit without the again and you go, ah to
Speaker 1: see the thing is though, that's what really happened with Jesus,
Speaker 1: you know, we're.
Speaker 2: And I think I prefer the again to say, sort
Speaker 2: of like a little fourth wall break or something like that,
Speaker 2: which I might throw in, But no, I think I like.
Speaker 1: The again looking at the camera or whatever. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: get that. Marge thinks she may be being selfish. On
Speaker 1: the way home. She says, my being selfish here it
Speaker 1: could be well. Peace, but I want to my daughter
Speaker 1: back and says, no, I don't worry. You're the most
Speaker 1: giving soul that I know. And besides, he gave them
Speaker 1: another gem. Child who sit on the precious throne turns
Speaker 1: out to be bart and when he goes up there
Speaker 1: or how literally breaks loose. Indeed, yes, and that is
Speaker 1: the end of the episode. A pretty out there ending,
Speaker 1: but for a cannon episode anyway. But let's just run
Speaker 1: with it for the sake of a cartoon. And there
Speaker 1: are more things in life to actually worry about. Indeed,
Speaker 1: what do we learn, Bomber? I think I learned that
Speaker 1: you take the fox, then you take the chicken, then
Speaker 1: you take the grain, or come back and you drop
Speaker 1: the fox. I'm gonna have to google it, but Google
Speaker 1: has just bribed my brain. But luckily I've never had
Speaker 1: a fox, a chicken, or a boat at any at
Speaker 1: any one time. So it's okay, Robbers a forward. Your
Speaker 1: names will be all right. It's time for the Guy
Speaker 1: Davis New Name Championship for season twenty. The current leaderboard

Speaker 1: Marge becomes the police officer. So we can come to
