Speaker 1: Don't remember. Oh, mister plow that's my name. That name
Speaker 1: again is mister Plow.
Speaker 2: Well, John Q, drive away. Here's our number. No, we
Speaker 2: play the waiting game. The waiting game sucks. Let's play
Speaker 2: Hungry Hungry Hippos four finger discounted.
Speaker 1: There's a special I should let you say it. We
Speaker 1: started recording five minutes is like me saying this is
Speaker 1: a special occasion having me. I mean for this vision,
Speaker 1: you could say it. Okay, well sorry, do you want
Speaker 1: to introduce you? Introduce yourself? Oh hi, I'm comedian Aaron Gox.
Speaker 1: Some know me as Goxy, but our.
Speaker 3: Very first guest to ever have in the studio in
Speaker 3: the in person for figure discount.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Embarrassingly
Speaker 1: presented myself, but I just got really excited. But no,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I didn't actually know that. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great to be a part of history game history.
Speaker 1: Because you did give me the option of if I
Speaker 1: wanted it, of remote and I was like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: coming in. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've tried all the way down the train. You
Speaker 3: rode a bike. I was like, oh man, I'm so bad.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't come pick you up.
Speaker 1: I'm speaking of Simpsons. I did the like he's some
Speaker 1: non given up comedy guy. But you do a lot
Speaker 1: of this when yeah, you're on Well look it's a
Speaker 1: few years off now, but you might have heard of
Speaker 1: something called COVID that was going around. Yeah, bug, but
Speaker 1: that's conspiracy. Comedians. Yeah, us comedians we did some zoom
Speaker 1: gigs are horror, so I'll always jump on the in person.
Speaker 3: But you were telling us off the air that you're
Speaker 3: watching people get off their couches mid show, which I
Speaker 3: just think is rude. Yeah, you paid to watch a comedian.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't get up and leave it when you're at
Speaker 3: the show, So why do you get off the couch?
Speaker 1: But that was the problem is they just think he
Speaker 1: can't don't see me.
Speaker 3: I'm at home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, did it three you off? It did a little?
Speaker 1: It did and there was no laughter, which isn't that
Speaker 1: different to my normal I'm Jane. I don't have a
Speaker 1: big egear, but I like to think there's a little
Speaker 1: bit of laughter at my gigs. But that was a
Speaker 1: very weird time and I won't go too much into
Speaker 1: the sort of mental health side, but a lot of
Speaker 1: us had that kind of like because when you're used
Speaker 1: to touring around, you can go to a town, make people
Speaker 1: laugh hopefully, and then all of a sudden it's like,
Speaker 1: well what am I now?
Speaker 3: Like you know, yeah, what's my purpose here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yes, for your purpose here?
Speaker 3: Today? Used to talk about mister Plower.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's what I was put on this earth.
Speaker 3: And we're glad that you were because you were saying
Speaker 3: before before at Coxy arrived that we're a young season
Speaker 3: twenty at the moment with the podcast, right, and you
Speaker 3: watch a season twenty episode of the Simpsons and then
Speaker 3: you watch mister Plow and you just goll just go
Speaker 3: back and review the classics again.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's no comment from me, But yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: a something. People are a bit gentle on the New Ones.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty harsh. When we're doing season twenty.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like we're we've got the metal detector
Speaker 4: out and we're going along the beach like maybe we'll
Speaker 4: find a twenty cent pieces and that, Yeah, maybe there'll
Speaker 4: be a joke somewhere with this.
Speaker 1: It's just like, holy should have go watch Yeah. Well, well,
Speaker 1: every now and then I see comments saying like god,
Speaker 1: the latest Ones returning and yeah, I know I'm pretty harsh.
Speaker 1: I know I'm pretty harsh, but it is it's a
Speaker 1: tough thing when you know how high quality it could
Speaker 1: have got to.
Speaker 3: And yeah, what's the thing. It's just I don't know.
Speaker 3: We're watching it now, going a good episode is a
Speaker 3: fine episode's if we go? Is it okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It was all right, it was okay, yeah, but now
Speaker 3: it's we're watching the mister Player. You just go, We're
Speaker 3: five minutes in and I reckon, I've taken twenty jokes.
Speaker 3: Yeah jokes already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know the classic years, like, yes, references
Speaker 1: were shoved in, but they were like the writer's favorite
Speaker 1: directors and you know, like, what's trying to think, Oh,
Speaker 1: like Kuber or something like that. Now it's like put
Speaker 1: put iPod in. Put Like that's just shoving in pop cult. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get it on board.
Speaker 3: It's all about who we can get on the show.
Speaker 1: Yeaheah, exactly. And by the way, I'm thirty six. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm thirty nine.
Speaker 3: Okay, So you grew up in the nineties with The Simpsons. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so one of your earliest memories of the show.
Speaker 1: Thanks for saying, Oh well, I'm ancient. It does. It's
Speaker 1: gonna sound a bit cheesy, but I definitely feel like
Speaker 1: I've grown up. I grew up with it because as
Speaker 1: a kid, I remember the like radical Bart era, don't
Speaker 1: have a cow.
Speaker 3: You would have been about five when The Simpsons started then, yeah.
Speaker 1: But then, I mean Australia picked it up pretty quick
Speaker 1: compared to a lot of stuff that took time to
Speaker 1: come over. I still remember things going fast track from USA,
Speaker 1: so I remember that sort of Bart's bad boy that was.
Speaker 1: It was center out bar right like the first few
Speaker 1: seasons and speaking about being harsh, I can't do season one.
Speaker 1: Some people say, I mean, it's nice to see where
Speaker 1: it started. But you know, with Homer, like embarrassed by
Speaker 1: the family and the first I think.
Speaker 3: It's the third episode he wants to kill himself because
Speaker 3: he lost his job and was going Holy Molly. But
Speaker 3: there is an episode moaning Lisa, which is episode six,
Speaker 3: where it's just as relevant now as it was back
Speaker 3: then because Lisa is sad and she doesn't know why.
Speaker 3: And at the end Marcher says, you want to be sad,
Speaker 3: just be sad. Yeah, I'll be here for you, And
Speaker 3: I thought that's so.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a lot of stuff. I have some nice
Speaker 1: touching stuff, but it didn't not the hilarious humor that
Speaker 1: you know. It's really finding its feet, isn't it. And
Speaker 1: so my very earliest memory would probably be the big Foot.
Speaker 3: Deep I was gonna say, called the Simpsons things. Most
Speaker 3: nineties kids remember that, Ozzie Kids, Hungry Jack's had action
Speaker 3: figures right that. I remember my friends having it, and
Speaker 3: we didn't have Huncle Jacks. We were McDonald's KFC family.
Speaker 3: I don't know about yourself, but when mum came home
Speaker 3: with Hungry.
Speaker 1: Jacks rooster, yeah, the other place burned down? Or what's
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 3: Takeaways?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So Thursday night takeaway night was our thing as kids,
Speaker 3: and it was always Maxis and KFC whichever. We didn't
Speaker 3: care if mom came home with red rooster or Hungry Jacks,
Speaker 3: we thought we'd done something wrong. What was what was
Speaker 3: your go to takeaways?
Speaker 1: Kid? Yeah? What do you want?
Speaker 3: Doxy?
Speaker 1: What do you want for? It's funny because, like my
Speaker 1: humor now is heavily based around the fast food chains,
Speaker 1: my parents didn't do a lot of the so maybe
Speaker 1: that was my rebellion. Like when you know, when you
Speaker 1: get to forty and you start working, you like, I
Speaker 1: can spend my own money. I will have a rip
Speaker 1: a roll. Yeah, that was it. I was like when
Speaker 1: I'm like fourteen doing part time jobs, it's all about like, no,
Speaker 1: now I can get KFSC.
Speaker 3: I was liked to watch The Simpsons as a kid,
Speaker 3: so I think that's why I became obsessed with it
Speaker 3: once I was allowed to. But by the point I
Speaker 3: was allowed to, people are almost starting to get over it.
Speaker 3: So I was always almost like the only Simpsons kid
Speaker 3: in my group. But I told I started watching the
Speaker 3: show I was watching all I was six.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well it is like it is funny when
Speaker 1: you hear about that because I could see in parts,
Speaker 1: you know, when with the Bart rebellion thing. But I
Speaker 1: mean it seems like things that came afterwards were a
Speaker 1: lot more cooked.
Speaker 3: From me South Park from me, it's because of one
Speaker 3: consists of Maggie getting a knife out of the drawer
Speaker 3: and what do you think little Dando did?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's it. It is. Kids are very influenced. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Was your comedy influence by The Simpsons? Oh? Yeah? But
Speaker 1: like I said, I like to think the because sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll think of something and I'm like, oh, that's a
Speaker 1: Simpsons joke. But then I'll be like, well, at least
Speaker 1: i'm it's the greatest comedy ever that I'm copying, Like,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 4: Well, that's like you're saying, I mean, kids are kids
Speaker 4: are sponges. Yeah, they soak up whatever. And I think
Speaker 4: if you grow up watching something like The Simpsons, or
Speaker 4: if you're a bit older like me, you grow up
Speaker 4: sort of watching you know, classic sitcoms on tea, and
Speaker 4: if you've got any inclination to be funny, that's where
Speaker 4: you learn. You learn the rule of threes, where you
Speaker 4: learn that's good timing as opposed to bad time, and
Speaker 4: that's how you land a joke. That's until I means yeah,
Speaker 4: and that's how you bold in references and all that
Speaker 4: kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: That's what I think. Another memory, early memory I have
Speaker 1: is because that's the thing they didn't really repeat the
Speaker 1: very first season much, I don't.
Speaker 3: Think, and it was never on TV, was it.
Speaker 1: But then I remember because of the bad bart I remember,
Speaker 1: like the water bombs by the Genius. I just have
Speaker 1: this memory of him or Green. Yeah. Yeah, there's things
Speaker 1: like that where it's just like but as a kid,
Speaker 1: it is that it's just like it looks so cool
Speaker 1: and the voices.
Speaker 3: It was different, wasn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think they did Channel ten. They it
Speaker 3: seemed to be sometimes season three, but it was most
Speaker 3: of like season four to like season seven seemed to
Speaker 3: be the ones that were on rotation. Yeah, six pm L.
Speaker 1: It is quite interesting to read the history of it
Speaker 1: where you know, like because you know it as this
Speaker 1: big behemoth, but like when you read about how early
Speaker 1: on it was such a gamble and yeah, I think,
Speaker 1: like I think ten wasn't even like a big sort
Speaker 1: of channel in one.
Speaker 3: I think at the time maybe and I think it
Speaker 3: was maybe it was channeled ten by that point.
Speaker 1: Was that no, what was it called? What was it
Speaker 1: used to be? Channel? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Eighties? And I was kind of the poor a cousin
Speaker 1: for seven and it was always seven and nine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the two big ogs jeellling it out in the
Speaker 4: ABC's that go, you guys feel pretty good, duke it
Speaker 4: doubt we'll be over here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember reading or maybe watching once somewhere where Rove
Speaker 3: was saying that they didn't Channel ten were interested in
Speaker 3: the Simpsons, Channel seven were interested and then someone passed
Speaker 3: it up and then someone said Channel ten the kids
Speaker 3: show something different, give it a go, and best decision
Speaker 3: they ever made.
Speaker 4: And it was real canter programming as well when it
Speaker 4: first started, because I think it was on Sunday nights
Speaker 4: up against sixty minutes or something. Yeah, sounds like, okay,
Speaker 4: Well you can need to be you know, supercipisticated catch
Speaker 4: up on the current affairs of the world, or you.
Speaker 1: Can do what's the Simpsons. There's this thing as as
Speaker 1: a comedian kind of there's certain things you're expected to like.
Speaker 1: It sounds weird expected, but like, for example, like Seinfeld,
Speaker 1: like there's probably like ninety or ninety five percent commanis
Speaker 1: would say they love it, and I didn't. But mostly
Speaker 1: I watched things that suited my age more, you know,
Speaker 1: because and that I just didn't really connect with it.
Speaker 1: Sounds weird to say I connect with the Simpsons, but
Speaker 1: it's a cartoon. I didn't connect with these what were
Speaker 1: they like, thirty somethings in New York or whatever.
Speaker 3: I didn't like Seinfelder kid. Yeah, yeah, do you like
Speaker 3: Seinfeld now?
Speaker 1: Though? Well that's the thing. I haven't actually retro but
Speaker 1: I don't hate it or anything, but I just know
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit of a outside comic comedian. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it is one of those ones where it's like
Speaker 1: that's almost like, you know how certain elements of entertainment,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, if you're into metal, you're probably like metallic. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, if a comedian come up to you and
Speaker 3: ask you if you like Seinfeld, you just say you do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just like these pretzels with that one of
Speaker 1: the three catchphrases. I know. But again, like I think
Speaker 1: with the that you do meet every now and then,
Speaker 1: a commune who wasn't allowed to watch another thing I
Speaker 1: was told Tasmania apparently didn't have it at all. Really,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Channel ten television. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's I think it was Channel ten and all
Speaker 1: the Simpsons are one of those. But yeah, and I'm like, so,
Speaker 1: how did you end up being funny?
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, can you remember an episode that influenced you
Speaker 3: at all where you maybe write a joke from an.
Speaker 1: Episode of this? Oh gosh, that's put me on the spot,
Speaker 1: you know, Like I said, like you like to think
Speaker 1: your original, but let me are well, a lot of
Speaker 1: what I talk about food and stuff is like very
Speaker 1: like Homer like, but I try and put like an
Speaker 1: Aussie twist on it. So I guess what was the question?
Speaker 1: And I was a massive con O'Brien fan as well
Speaker 1: as I know he only wrote.
Speaker 3: A few but doing the Oscars again next year. He
Speaker 3: hosted this year. He's already got the gig for next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll often I know this doesn't really answer your question,
Speaker 1: but I'll often say like season five is my favorite season,
Speaker 1: so I guess season five. Yeah, well that's it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do think I was just discussing this of you.
Speaker 1: If ever for a little peak behind the curve.
Speaker 3: Curtains always open when it's.
Speaker 1: Funny when you say, like like you're pinning yourself down
Speaker 1: and say this is my favorite season. But my favorite
Speaker 1: apps from definitely I'll say like five. But then obviously
Speaker 1: you like a lot of other apps. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess that humor. John Sportsworld as well. I had his books.
Speaker 1: He like a lot of love a lot of that humor,
Speaker 1: So any any of that, I guess, like the food stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm a big geography nerds. I like geography, joke, sports jokes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so those sort of those big three. But one thing
Speaker 1: I do. Having said like fives my favorite app I
Speaker 1: do reckon there's some brilliant jokes and a couple of
Speaker 1: the like four and three, and like, you know, I
Speaker 1: consider one of the first brilliant jokes to be in
Speaker 1: Flaming Mos or like you just lost yourself a customer?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, like that, yeah yeah, And I always think
Speaker 1: of that whenever someone's you know that, I know people
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for like comments sections like people.
Speaker 3: Say, don't doom scroll man.
Speaker 1: I know, but but I don't know why. I'm just
Speaker 1: in there. And there's always that the negative peal, you know,
Speaker 1: and the classic like who you know when it's like
Speaker 1: it's like oh, And it's always that makes me think
Speaker 1: of that because they're kicking ass and Barry from Bayswater
Speaker 1: and say, because I got a bit of the trolls myself,
Speaker 1: you know, and I always think of.
Speaker 3: It like that, what's the usual troll comment for you?
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny because like I said, I'm into sports.
Speaker 1: I'm often comment on sports stuff. I reckon a lot
Speaker 1: of the trolls. I must have said something about their
Speaker 1: team or player and now they're just like, oh, they
Speaker 1: just won't like people really love their teams and now
Speaker 1: they're just giving me grief.
Speaker 3: So when you go to a town, do you not
Speaker 3: look up Okay, we're going to this town. Let's look
Speaker 3: up their sports team, be pro their team or do
Speaker 3: you just not care?
Speaker 1: Not really? Yeah, I'll sometimes I like doing a reference
Speaker 1: to like, you know, if I go to Adelaide or
Speaker 1: remember when they won the premiership and go, let's party
Speaker 1: like it's yeah, that's it. I did something about West
Speaker 1: Coast when I was in fair like, let's party like
Speaker 1: it's O six. You know, which can have a meaning
Speaker 1: to it's a different party if you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: cousins exactly. That's why I'm like, I'm not like huge
Speaker 1: on references, but I like those sort of slip one
Speaker 1: of those and yeah yeah, but.
Speaker 4: I think otherwise you're like spinal tap saying hello Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you know, like you try not to be
Speaker 1: too cheesy with that kind of you know, there's that
Speaker 1: classic like Simpsons predicted it, but it's true, there is.
Speaker 1: There's almost a joke for every situation.
Speaker 3: You know, especially been so many episodes. Yeah yeah, but
Speaker 3: still it's the first ten that seemed to be the
Speaker 3: one that the most did.
Speaker 1: You ever have talking about that. Did you have like
Speaker 1: a moment in your life where looking back it's a
Speaker 1: little bit cringey, like so, you know, it's like a teenager,
Speaker 1: I was a bit political, and I used to be like,
Speaker 1: I reckon, I reckon. The Simpsons deal with political topics.
Speaker 1: I get my news from this, you know. But I
Speaker 1: genuinely thought, like, for example, like when you talk about
Speaker 1: like homophobia, like they dealt with that quite quite my.
Speaker 3: First one, unbelieve.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because it made Homer the butt of the joke,
Speaker 1: that is the joke.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, look how parent he's the bad guy? Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: But then we review the teen seasons and virtually every
Speaker 3: episode has a homophobic joke in it, you know, everything
Speaker 3: he did back and see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I want to get too, deeven the news
Speaker 1: stuff that does meet right at the heart of how
Speaker 1: I feel, and that it's a whole new set of
Speaker 1: writers and stuff that that to me. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: this is the correct point of view, but where they
Speaker 1: they've lost the spirit of what it was when it.
Speaker 3: Was almost pinpoint the second the show's heart ripped and
Speaker 3: half you can watch it and go this is when
Speaker 3: the Simpsons wasn't the show it once was, and Homer
Speaker 3: became a jerk for no reason, yeah, and no repercussions
Speaker 3: for being a jerk.
Speaker 4: And well, I think the way we always talk about
Speaker 4: it when we've talked about the episodes recently is like
Speaker 4: when it first started, maybe for those first ten season,
Speaker 4: you've got a bunch of people who want to write comedy, yeah,
Speaker 4: and they've learned it from wherever. And then then following
Speaker 4: off from that, you've got a bunch of people who
Speaker 4: learned on comedy watching The Simpsons.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I was like, I think there's how you
Speaker 1: do the Simpsons.
Speaker 3: The problem is that South Park and Family Guy came around.
Speaker 1: That's what I was going to say. It was it
Speaker 1: competing to be a bit edgy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't the cooking on the block anymore. South
Speaker 3: Park completely took the reins from that. And then once
Speaker 3: South Park the fad, the south Park died down, but
Speaker 3: it was peak south Park for about the first two seasons.
Speaker 3: Then they sort of mellowed a bit. Then Family Guy
Speaker 3: came around, and everyone just wanted to be that random,
Speaker 3: obscure jokes like Family Guy, and you just see elements
Speaker 3: of that seeping into the Simpsons, how do.
Speaker 1: We stay relevant?
Speaker 4: Like you could have just stayed in your lane and
Speaker 4: cruise along. Very nice because a lot of people like
Speaker 4: what you do.
Speaker 3: That's because we do a south Park podcast as well.
Speaker 3: And that's what I love watching these old episodes of
Speaker 3: south Park is they could have very easily tweaked their
Speaker 3: style to suit what people seem to want at the time.
Speaker 3: They went, not fuck it, We're doing the show that
Speaker 3: we want and it's all better for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The fact that Trey Parker and Matt stone A still
Speaker 4: sort of driving the train, how many seasons into it
Speaker 4: or how many years into it, Yeah, it means the
Speaker 4: show remains the same.
Speaker 1: I'm the kind of person I don't want to be picky,
Speaker 1: but I end up being. And it's like I don't
Speaker 1: hate Soba, but I'll so this is my kind of
Speaker 1: like critique picking. A part of it is that a
Speaker 1: lot of the time, and there's nothing wrong with this,
Speaker 1: is what I do is going to like find what
Speaker 1: your your persona is and stick with it. But I
Speaker 1: find it's often like, see, the kids are the only
Speaker 1: ones who know what's going on and all the adults
Speaker 1: are dumb, and which is a funny concept.
Speaker 3: And it evolved that because it wasn't really live then
Speaker 3: by the end were season seven now sound parking, you go,
Speaker 3: I'm going, so the kids are the only smart ones
Speaker 3: in the town. Yeahah, and Carton's still an idiot. But
Speaker 3: it's always standing Kyle going, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always funny to look at the very beginning
Speaker 4: of a sitcom that you really love and one that's
Speaker 4: gone on for a long time. And yeah, the first
Speaker 4: seasons or the first episodes are usually kind of unrecognizable. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like you can see the germ of what it's
Speaker 4: going to become, and they realize, oh, we're going to
Speaker 4: keep this, We're going to throw this as hard, we're
Speaker 4: going to amplify this, we're going to tamp that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Us on these characters, there's so much that I've
Speaker 1: just learned along the way. I I never even knew that,
Speaker 1: like you know, you when you read when it comes
Speaker 1: up like credits, and and obviously I knew there was
Speaker 1: a lot of different writers and that, but but even
Speaker 1: with these series, there's a different director episode episode, which
Speaker 1: I find interesting.
Speaker 3: And yeah, so this one here, mister Plower, you chose,
Speaker 3: I ask you which episode you want to do mister Plower?
Speaker 3: This episode here for me, I feel like season four
Speaker 3: was the era where it became the Homer Show. We're
Speaker 3: just discussing. Shows tend to focus on particular character. The
Speaker 3: first couple of years were Bart, Bart the Murderer, but
Speaker 3: this is always Bart the general.
Speaker 1: I got radical Bar, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yah, yeah, but the episode, the episode, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of Bart that or Bart that in the first couple
Speaker 3: of seasons. Now it's the Plow you know, Homer Home,
Speaker 3: the heretic, that kind of thing in season four. But
Speaker 3: what was it about mister Plower in particular that made
Speaker 3: you want to choose this one to talk about today?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It is interesting when you kind of dissect, like
Speaker 1: what do I like about things? And I want to
Speaker 1: start with snow because, like if Igo is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite movie I think because I'm from BRISBANEES So
Speaker 1: I'm from the heat. So I guess it's like I
Speaker 1: was never into fantasy like Lord of the Rings, Star
Speaker 1: Wars sci fi, but that's probably my fantasy. Like I
Speaker 1: like human stories told in snow places I don't know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, but that's that's one thing, and then
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an obvious easy thing, but this
Speaker 1: is just brilliant jokes in it, even if you take out.
Speaker 1: But then I guess, I mean, I've always been just
Speaker 1: like a laborer for work, so maybe it's that thing
Speaker 1: to the labor job.
Speaker 3: There's just so many moments in here that I forgot.
Speaker 3: We're in this episode. Yeah, put it in, h Adam,
Speaker 3: what it's doing the bat to all these moments where
Speaker 3: you can put them in any episode and they work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're all in this one. You know, we're
Speaker 1: in the area where in the era of the meme, right, well,
Speaker 1: memes have been around for a while, but that they
Speaker 1: just get what do you call it, like passed on
Speaker 1: and like people forget, like what's putting in age from Yeah.
Speaker 3: Like, I just think the Simpsons now because the episode's
Speaker 3: taken a lead that people say they're not any good anymore.
Speaker 3: They're fine, they're okay, but the Simpsons isn't cool anymore.
Speaker 3: It's not people talking about. What keeps the Simpsons relevant
Speaker 3: is means, yeah, people were using on social media and
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. That's how the Simpsons, like the
Speaker 3: Facebook groups like our page one, that's how the Simpsons
Speaker 3: is remaining relevant twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well it's absolutely you know, it's funny about
Speaker 1: that too. Like I just watched the full up the
Speaker 1: other day, and for this, which is such a rare thing,
Speaker 1: I don't do that the watch Sims as much just
Speaker 1: because I want to watch it anymore either. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I used to love the DVD box sets and then
Speaker 1: I would alternate between just like watching it as it
Speaker 1: is and the DVD commentary. Sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went to bed listening to commentaries, which became
Speaker 3: a podcaster.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They were the first podcasts, And it's such a
Speaker 1: funny thing to like have it playing and you can
Speaker 1: kind of hear the dialogue, but it's quiet and yeah,
Speaker 1: and just the crew just nerding out.
Speaker 3: And I just wish they'd put the commentaries on Disney. Plus,
Speaker 3: I would watch it far more often, but apparently there's
Speaker 3: issues because they've got to then pay the people whose voice.
Speaker 3: It's like all this.
Speaker 1: I don't remember I should say this, but say it.
Speaker 1: When I watched it, I got my daughter to get
Speaker 1: a dodgyp from something. Yeah, I was like I was,
Speaker 1: I was saying, because you know, I'm a little bit older.
Speaker 1: Jen I'm turning forty, but my daughter's more tech savvy,
Speaker 1: and I'm saying to her, like, what can we do?
Speaker 1: Is there do we do? Like, is there like a
Speaker 1: one month Disney. Let's be honest, Disney is doing all right.
Speaker 1: I'm not stealing from a corner shop, but I.
Speaker 3: Know where they're going out of business.
Speaker 1: But I know there's I've heard about the whole like
Speaker 1: if you put something on YouTube, it'll be down in an.
Speaker 3: Hour or yeah, you're pretty on to that.
Speaker 1: I like to have that job, just looking for like
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's probably automated, now.
Speaker 3: Be right police, Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking.
Speaker 4: Of Disney as the hospital in that episode is like
Speaker 4: we're missing one subscription. Looks like there's no Disney.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell the children.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's like obviously anything that's like a
Speaker 1: full up gets taken down. But I think there's just
Speaker 1: so many like one minute jokes.
Speaker 3: They just like it depends what platform using on Facebook
Speaker 3: are so pedantic about clips content wise, so anything over
Speaker 3: twenty seconds, you're done. Anything under they go crazy for it.
Speaker 1: Ex.
Speaker 3: Twitter, Elon don't give a shit, mate, He's like, put
Speaker 3: full episodes up.
Speaker 1: We don't care he's got other things on his mind.

Speaker 1: like saying something's your favorite, and you have a favorite
Speaker 1: at the time, you just say it, and then I
Speaker 1: also like that, and I like that, so I'll often
Speaker 1: say mis sa far as I favor I love like
Speaker 1: obviously love like I said, season five my favorite seasons.
Speaker 1: After this, we watched Homer Goes to College, which.
Speaker 3: Is another episode that's one of my favorite. The Dean
Speaker 3: and that is amazing. I just love all those and
Speaker 3: and it's like free nerds are over there, free nerds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love all that, just the cliches of the
Speaker 1: high school movie, college.
Speaker 3: Movie and that like with the Animal House. The Animal House.
Speaker 1: Yeah, frusty old Dean, but he's like the nicest it.
Speaker 3: Oh, don't think you are peak. Yeah, it's so good
Speaker 3: with the powerful friends.
Speaker 1: And just watching that and it's like, maybe this is
Speaker 1: my favorite. It doesn't at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but yeah, I wanted to give mister
Speaker 1: Plower some love, Like I was saying.
Speaker 3: Very sexy episode, yeah.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, being in about memes and I'm in a
Speaker 1: few different groups and I was often think of like
Speaker 1: a topic to start up, and I was going to
Speaker 1: say about like our favorite kinks, you know, like when
Speaker 1: Homer goes with the flowers in the toilet or or
Speaker 1: there's you know, when he puts the sand in it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, but that that that is really like
Speaker 1: genuinely sweet. When Marge just like appreciates home and yeah,
Speaker 1: yeahs good at his job.
Speaker 4: What's about costs of beings? Like, you know, you blew
Speaker 4: all this money on this play.
Speaker 3: Actually I didn't do anything wrong to fuck it up here,
Speaker 3: Like Barney was the villain. He actually gave Barney well.
Speaker 1: I mentioned before about in sort of season three and
Speaker 1: four some some brilliant jokes and a joke which I
Speaker 1: think is a bit underpreciate. I don't hear much about
Speaker 1: it is Barney saying nothing wrong with a bit of
Speaker 1: healthy competition, and that's just.
Speaker 4: Say minichail laugh the stuff in this that's not even
Speaker 4: like jokes per se. But they're just great line deliveries
Speaker 4: or just little bits of texture. I mean, I love
Speaker 4: it when home is driving home from Mo's and this
Speaker 4: isn't a Bill and Marty at night.
Speaker 1: By the Yeah, but you did wade money again. I
Speaker 1: know it's a bit cheesy to be like, oh, Simpson's
Speaker 1: predicted it, but I do think they were ahead of
Speaker 1: their time, right, Like you know the bit so they're
Speaker 1: talking about like these big and like, oh yeah, the
Speaker 1: American cars. I'm sure they've always been around in some form,
Speaker 1: you do see, Yeah, that's right, and but now it's
Speaker 1: a huge thing, the Dodge rams. But Homer's got that,
Speaker 1: you know where they're selling it. And how psycho is
Speaker 1: his the dreams whatever it is about the president. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely the pay me not to work protest. I
Speaker 1: love that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so many great guests as well, Linda Ronstadt
Speaker 3: and Adam West. Linda run'st that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Adam West, what a fucking lord.
Speaker 3: Adam West is so down to putting himself, throwing himself
Speaker 3: under the bus, which is what makes him so great.
Speaker 4: Well, what's what's hilarious is in Man and West is
Speaker 4: already bloody heightened. Yeah, is already sort of dialing up
Speaker 4: to eleven. Now he's dialing it up to thirteen, just
Speaker 4: sounding absolutely kind of Oh I.
Speaker 1: Met him West and you wanted to become the mayor
Speaker 1: in the family guy. Yeah, oh, you know. It's another
Speaker 1: great line too. So the whole sequence is awesome. But
Speaker 1: Homer crashing and he's like, oh got him, got him
Speaker 1: just as good as he got, just the shocked faces.
Speaker 1: And then the next bit with the it's a pornography.
Speaker 3: That's one of your favorites, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I think that's a great example too of like it's
Speaker 1: it's not to say they never did crass or but
Speaker 1: it was crass, but it's like sex cauldron, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's they just hold off enough
Speaker 1: to not.
Speaker 4: It's it's not smutty Yeah, it's just funny because the
Speaker 4: Homa thinks he's being kind of Yeah. I got myself
Speaker 4: out of that one.
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite Home of jokes, the accidental
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to stalk stop.
Speaker 4: It's like when he goes to the boser. My name
Speaker 4: is mister Burne.
Speaker 3: I I just don't think I love The Simpsons in
Speaker 3: the sense that those jokes there, like the pornography when
Speaker 3: you're a kid watching it, right, you have no idea.
Speaker 3: I'd like to think you have no idea when you're
Speaker 3: five years of the way pornography means, yeah, but the
Speaker 3: way Dan delivers the like no graphy, that's what's funny
Speaker 3: about it as a kid, and as you get older.
Speaker 3: So Dad's laughing alone, Dad's laughing at the actual joke.
Speaker 3: As a kid, you're laughing at delivery.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know if Simpsons invented there's
Speaker 1: probably not, but the like in a dialogue talking to him,
Speaker 1: you know, like you got you got off easy this time,
Speaker 1: brain or.
Speaker 3: I never would have thought of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And there's just variations on that, so many variations all
Speaker 4: through the certainly all through these classic years. I mean,
Speaker 4: whether it's Homer's brain, like he's sitting in like a
Speaker 4: circus or something, little beer on a ball or something like, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's his brain in operations ballet, Yeah, that's ballet, and it.
Speaker 1: Was like a monkey picking something out of.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or the birds grooming him and things like that, Yeah,
Speaker 4: or even just you know, I know what, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm thinking, boy yum y y.
Speaker 1: And the other thing I love was the advertisements, you know.
Speaker 3: The la I love Grandpas suit. He's wearing so low
Speaker 3: budget but so awesome, cubes.
Speaker 1: Around his head and it's this when they filmed the ad,
Speaker 1: like then there's the agency went yeah, yeah, and I
Speaker 1: love how he just like I'm going, you know, like
Speaker 1: he doesn't get off set you. And then then Bart
Speaker 1: you are a license and shut up. Yeah, It's like
Speaker 1: I love that, Like why did that make the little
Speaker 1: final cut?
Speaker 4: Like yeah, but we were saying before we even before
Speaker 4: we were arrived, roxy that something that's really funny and
Speaker 4: that just a tiny little bit, it's not even a gag.
Speaker 4: But yeah, they're filming this low budget public access commercial world.
Speaker 4: But and you can see Lisa sort of occasionally looking
Speaker 4: at the camera because he doesn't know what to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4: I mean if you've never been on camera before, occasionally
Speaker 4: to go.
Speaker 3: I'm watching this thinking it feels like when you go
Speaker 3: to the movies and they play the localized as. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like some mate and like some guy and his wife.
Speaker 1: But I'm Ben and always in country towns, I'll be like,
Speaker 1: come on down and Mike Thompson Toyota. Yeah, he's stingy.
Speaker 1: Didn't want to hire anyone, so he's doing himself.
Speaker 3: But he's like really, but some people have done that
Speaker 3: really well, like Frank Welcome from Nation Walker from National Files.
Speaker 1: He become a thing. Ken Bruce he went mad and
Speaker 1: so you just touched on. So that's the what would
Speaker 1: you call it? Community channel add But.
Speaker 3: Then thirty one for me and there's the Agency, the
Speaker 3: Agency one, yeah, and the dog Draper one I love.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a couple of times where Simpsons, I
Speaker 1: guess you'd call it making fun of maybe like a
Speaker 1: tribute to Ardhouse. He it was like the one Barney made,
Speaker 1: you know, for the drinking, and it's that like cry
Speaker 1: for me, I'm already dead, but it's it's just that's
Speaker 1: like it's got nothing to do with being a flower.
Speaker 1: But it's a Legiti nineties commercial as well.
Speaker 4: I mean apparently they were making like an obsession like
Speaker 4: Calvin k It was a director like rip off of those. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but there were so many references him, just throw away
Speaker 4: stuff that you know, you can tell that the writer's
Speaker 4: really dug. It's like, I really want to just you know,
Speaker 4: give a shout out to I mean the ad agency
Speaker 4: he goes to called McMahon and Tate. I think that's
Speaker 4: the one that Darren worked for on Bewitched, okay for instance.
Speaker 4: And there's a so I'm gonna put them moving the
Speaker 4: hat on him for the second. But when when Home
Speaker 4: is going to go and rescue Barney from Widow's Peak,
Speaker 4: you see him going across that rickety bridge. Yeah is
Speaker 4: that movie that's from a movie called Sorcerer.
Speaker 3: That's the one which is actually drove a truck across
Speaker 3: the bridge, didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we're really amazed that no one has died
Speaker 1: making it. I was even getting sort of probably like
Speaker 1: Cliffhanger vibes, you know, nine his action Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: And then there's make a joke out of both like
Speaker 4: he's gone across this ship has bridge with this you know,
Speaker 4: really heavy tech synth going on, oh shit, there's a
Speaker 4: real bridge.
Speaker 1: I love those. And again it's that thing of like
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter that things are repeated and used a lot,
Speaker 1: that people have probably done this heap since and where
Speaker 1: they do it. I called to know, Homer's called to
Speaker 1: get Barnie out. He's like, blah blah blah. There's a
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars note.
Speaker 3: In it for which president on it?
Speaker 1: Jimmy, Yeah. Oh.
Speaker 3: My parton that one scene though, before we move on,
Speaker 3: is when Linda rons said says I'm gonna do the
Speaker 3: Spanish version, sings a fucking great Spanish version of the song.
Speaker 1: He's like, you do that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't translate the Spanish, but I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4: The first part of it is like, mister player is
Speaker 4: not Marcho, okay.
Speaker 1: And you know when you got the it's it's actually
Speaker 1: it's a bit sad. But like when they show Homer's
Speaker 1: sort of like encouraging Barnie to drink and you see that, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a great man. He can
Speaker 3: make make his own decisions.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. But it's just like it was. It was
Speaker 1: probably seventeen man, now so many times. Yeah, it's that
Speaker 1: thing of like, but it's a nice little peeking, like,
Speaker 1: oh that's how that started.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I guess they kind of had to put
Speaker 3: some sort of negative on Homer because, yeah, you don't
Speaker 3: want to hate Barney. Barney's one of those characters you
Speaker 3: just love, and he seemed like such a heel as
Speaker 3: a wrestling term, but such a bad guy in this one.
Speaker 3: We had to sort of throw some of it back
Speaker 3: on Homer as well.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 3: I guess Homer in this episode though, is kind of
Speaker 3: relatable because if you would have his position, you come
Speaker 3: up with the idea. It's not an idea, you still
Speaker 3: my idea. You bought a play out, right, he was
Speaker 3: doing so well on his job. Then your best mate
Speaker 3: does the same thing. You like, mate, it's true, but.
Speaker 1: I mean, Barni's not wrong.
Speaker 4: It's like that little healthy competition. Never heard anyone that's foundation,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: I love the It's almost like, you know, when your
Speaker 1: text shot at something doesn't have to be this huge comment.
Speaker 1: But I feel like the when they transfer the key
Speaker 1: over and it's like, oh, there's bike marks on this,
Speaker 1: but that was like not a bad shot, but just
Speaker 1: like to show how fickle these like heroes things.
Speaker 3: Get me exactly give it back to us?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh there's a new guy, he's the town. What
Speaker 1: to do that? Like? Why was it covered in cholan side?
Speaker 1: What was it covered in foil? That was never before?
Speaker 3: We talked about the line delivery, right, So a joke
Speaker 3: is funny, but then the way it's delivered it even funnier.
Speaker 3: Do you find when you're writing jokes that you're you
Speaker 3: think this joke's great, but if I say a little
Speaker 3: bit differently, it's even funnier. Helping. Does that happen to
Speaker 3: you when you're writing your comedy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well so first time. I mean I'm not a
Speaker 1: huge writer like that's there's some comedians who pump out stuff.
Speaker 1: Do you improv? Yeah? Well one thing that will happen
Speaker 1: with my My jokes that I have they change a
Speaker 1: lot over time, a little bits added, So it's not
Speaker 1: I don't write a lot of newer jokes.
Speaker 3: But been doing the same set for ten years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, where it's just like director's cut off. I'm yeah,
Speaker 1: but it is like you think, because it is like
Speaker 1: how you think of it first and then how you
Speaker 1: present it can change a little bit. Do you think
Speaker 1: of something on the spot that.
Speaker 3: You a Heckler's not your style, wouldn't really.
Speaker 1: Get not really, but I know the problem them is
Speaker 1: now there are these like videos where they're like comedian
Speaker 1: destroyers and like they're all set.
Speaker 3: Up, mate, Yeah, I know that's but that's what's Is
Speaker 3: it a thing in the comedian circle where you go,
Speaker 3: I know that guys just fucking made that up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's a little bit of like the purists
Speaker 1: of comedy or like resent this newest style coming in.
Speaker 1: But I'm more like like they've got their place. Like
Speaker 1: the younger styles we're doing our thing. Us older ones,
Speaker 1: you know, we're just over here. It's like the comedy
Speaker 1: like a like a Beatles and Elvis older style, and
Speaker 1: the younger whippers snippers are doing what do I call them,
Speaker 1: rather than these comics are gardening now.
Speaker 3: No, So you're saying modern comedy is just all content based,
Speaker 3: Well you're putting words.
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is, well, to go back to
Speaker 1: your original questions. So it's like that's a form of
Speaker 1: comedy where people love the chaos where it's like something
Speaker 1: going wrong. But when you have you have your act
Speaker 1: that you want to do you don't really want people
Speaker 1: disrupting out, but I know it's a thing that this
Speaker 1: is a real thing. Hecklers who think that you want them.
Speaker 3: The part of the show.
Speaker 1: Don't you want that? Like no, no, I don't like
Speaker 1: you don't want to go viral? Yeah, yeah, well that's
Speaker 1: the thing. Like it's it's like it's more a perfect
Speaker 1: storm where there's a few who, like Jim Jefferson apparently
Speaker 1: blew up from someone running on stage or attack on
Speaker 1: or something, and now everyone wants one video. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: now people want to replicate that, and I feel like
Speaker 1: it's a perfect storm. It's not going to just you
Speaker 1: can't force it. You need to be bash naturally. Take
Speaker 1: that I'm joking about.
Speaker 4: There's a bo Burnham comedy special on Netflix, I think
Speaker 4: where you can hear someone the gad saying I love
Speaker 4: you both like don't care.
Speaker 1: There's not a participation sport.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've actually really crafted this though it works.
Speaker 1: You know. My only thing is I'll some of my jokes.
Speaker 1: I'll lead into it by does anyone and about the
Speaker 1: topic like is anyone into this? The problem is then
Speaker 1: when no one does it or no one emits, and
Speaker 1: I'll but I'll usually just say, well, I'm doing it anyway.
Speaker 1: He has a job. Yeah, does anyone here alive? Like who?
Speaker 1: He is into breathing? You know? Yeah, you know it's
Speaker 1: like don't you hate pants? It's not really a done
Speaker 1: thing anymore, but years ago to get engagement page pages
Speaker 1: like tager mate, who's like I always thought to make
Speaker 1: fun of that as like tager mate who's alive? Or
Speaker 1: like h tager made who has skin? Or so you know,
Speaker 1: it's like something obvious like that. It's just yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean people they're going to do what they want to do,
Speaker 1: but that stuff doesn't interest me. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we usually run through the episode here on
Speaker 3: the show. Do should we skim through mister Plower?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we usually we're at the air D eight what not.
Speaker 3: The original edit of the episode was actually November nineteenth,
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1: What can You're doing?
Speaker 3: November nineteenth, nineteen tety two, Wow with a snappogoxy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so talking about the whole australiing. I do
Speaker 1: wonder if we, like, did they.
Speaker 3: Take this would have been ninety three for us?
Speaker 1: I reckon, do you know how quick they were doing.
Speaker 3: Like at least a season, so it would have been
Speaker 3: we would have been mid two thousand and not only three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I don't remember, like I said,
Speaker 1: I only remember at a young age, the sort of
Speaker 1: radical Bart years. I was in grade two ninety two.
Speaker 3: So remember a guy on the radio spoiling the who
Speaker 3: shot mister Burns because it already aired in America And
Speaker 3: then they spoke about in the radio before season seven
Speaker 3: had premiered in Australia. Yeah, a lot of trouble, yeah,
Speaker 3: revealing it was it was Maggie. But yeah, so it
Speaker 3: was written by John Viddy, directed by Jim RIDDANEW kicks
Speaker 3: off with our man, Phil Hartman. You like you Phil Hartman?
Speaker 1: A huge fan? Yeah? Love what a dude. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: he's trying to actually say, speaking of like saying what's
Speaker 1: your favorite I often say Lionel Hearts is my favorite
Speaker 1: character of anything.
Speaker 3: I don't think as a kid you like Lionel Hearts.
Speaker 3: But what do you get with characters of the Simpsons?
Speaker 1: Right? Which ones do you? Did?
Speaker 3: You find your lights more the older you got For me,
Speaker 3: it was like Moya Hearts, that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, the creeps you and the bushes. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that, Like, like I don't think we were
Speaker 1: no one really enjoys the the poo debate. But one
Speaker 1: thing people say is like, hey, like everyone in the
Speaker 1: town is a creep, like the stereotypes. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: that thing of when like all the they all go
Speaker 1: into the reject thing. But yeah, I did you do
Speaker 1: have that thing where it's like it's it's too obvious
Speaker 1: to say Homer, right, so if you want to say
Speaker 1: someone else is your favorite character, So for a long time,
Speaker 1: I would say Wigham.
Speaker 3: Yeah, enjoy the baby looked at you, Baby looked at You.
Speaker 3: I found I actually liked the Lisa episodes more the
Speaker 3: older I got as well as a kid.
Speaker 1: I hated the Lisa episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but reviewing the moment, you know what, I actually
Speaker 3: relate to Lisa a lot more than some of the
Speaker 3: other characters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and once you understand a bit of that comedy,
Speaker 1: like the straight person and like she's she's never in
Speaker 1: Margine needed for the stupidness of Yeah, the balance there
Speaker 1: and it was quite lovely when you know those ones
Speaker 1: where she's like questioning her own the Simpsons thing and
Speaker 1: then she wants with the chocolate.
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, one of us, Yeah, join us. But
Speaker 3: it's what kicks off with Carnival of the Stars, hosted
Speaker 3: by trou McClure. Not for Lepards anymore. But he mentioned
Speaker 3: here the Erotic Adventures of Vircules. Is it the first movie?
Speaker 3: The second reference? Because what was it?
Speaker 4: It's not when she goes to Rancho Relax, I think
Speaker 4: there was.
Speaker 3: It's Camp Crusty. I think it's when they send the
Speaker 3: kids to the camp and they're at home, they're loving life,
Speaker 3: home has lost weight gain hand, they're watching the Erotic
Speaker 3: Adventure of Vocus having a great time.
Speaker 1: Troy McClure. You know, it's like sometimes I think there
Speaker 1: are sometimes there are an amalgamation of who they're based on.
Speaker 1: It's not one, you know. Sometimes I'll just come out
Speaker 1: and say, like MO was meant to be so and so. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like it was trying like an amalgamation of
Speaker 1: just some I'm not.
Speaker 4: Too sure, just just b movie stars. There was there
Speaker 4: was a Bee movie started from the seventies called Doug McClure.
Speaker 3: I think that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, but even just that saying I'm from
Speaker 4: yeah you may remember me, you remember me? Sorry, it's
Speaker 4: a later reference, but I reckon he's a lot of revealed.
Speaker 1: I'm not really his career was once I Create you
Speaker 1: may remember me. It's like he's like.
Speaker 4: Rick Dalton from Once upon a Time in Hollywood. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's just got these movies.
Speaker 1: That's like, oh yeah, you're in that right.
Speaker 3: But Marge tells Homer to come home because it's swing
Speaker 3: outside is where we get that you're dead? Wait, Marty
Speaker 3: on the radio. I do love the radio banter on
Speaker 3: the Simpsons.
Speaker 1: I'm doing I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I just want to talk about cal of the Stars
Speaker 4: really quickly, because first of all, I just love excitement
Speaker 4: g roade when Angela Lansbury's walking on goals. But also
Speaker 4: and thick throwing knives at Ricardo, Sorry Riccardo.
Speaker 1: Just little throwaways like that days kill me, not before
Speaker 1: I give you the check. One more question. This place
Speaker 1: mos you left just before the accident. This is a
Speaker 1: business of some kind.
Speaker 2: Don't tell him you were at a bar. But what
Speaker 2: else is open at night? It's a pornography store. I
Speaker 2: was buying pornography. I would have never started it.
Speaker 3: But Homer's got no car now, so just a hitchhike
Speaker 3: to work and the hitchhikes with I know the guy's name,
Speaker 3: but Zeke the.
Speaker 1: Pig, Yeah, dressed a pig with waterlon.
Speaker 3: And I was just eating away on the on the watermelons.
Speaker 3: And then so he's gonna go buy a car.
Speaker 4: She'll got three hundred heck there so on a single
Speaker 4: tank of kerosene?
Speaker 2: What country does this come from?
Speaker 1: It no longer exists. But take her for a test
Speaker 1: drive and you'll agree.
Speaker 3: That line on paper it no longer exists. Not funny really,
Speaker 3: but it's the way it's said.
Speaker 1: It no longer exists. Yeah, it was like a little
Speaker 1: bit of history too, and like Eastern Europe. That whole
Speaker 1: car stuff was just great because it's like, yeah, then
Speaker 1: you got the which.
Speaker 3: Yeah, always want to buy at the auto show. It's
Speaker 3: got one of my favorite moments in the whole episode
Speaker 3: there do you come with the car?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I felt seen, well, I feel that that's it's
Speaker 1: like it's kind of a look into like dad jokes
Speaker 1: or that being a dad.
Speaker 3: Now what you're going that's the kind of jet to.
Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't say it now I'm obviously married, happy.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it now to a woman because sexist.
Speaker 3: But it's just it's the kind of gag. As a dad,
Speaker 3: I can appreciate. Everyone thinks they're being original. That's the joke.
Speaker 3: Everyone's like, she's saying it to me. It's like everybody and.
Speaker 1: That's one of and I feel like it's one of
Speaker 1: those ones, like it's not taking a shot at her,
Speaker 1: but it's like it's everyone's in on her.
Speaker 4: She has a higher ground there. She's the one that's
Speaker 4: like in control of the situation. Everyone thinks they've been
Speaker 4: this smooth operator, but.
Speaker 1: It's also that and each guy thinks she just said
Speaker 1: it to him. It's a thing. Yeah you're talking to Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: that stripper really liked me when I gave her that hundred.
Speaker 3: No one was like that before the expender.
Speaker 1: While we're at the car show.
Speaker 4: I just have to point out because I'm always a
Speaker 4: stuck at the German accents, particularly when The Simpsons does
Speaker 4: and you got fourth.
Speaker 1: Motives and least say hey, what's up with that question?
Speaker 1: This exhibit is Claus. That's an example. It's it's kind
Speaker 1: of grim, but it's it's just a throw I like,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: And anytime you've got an exhibit, they have just shown
Speaker 4: their hand or the maskers off. Like my favorite episode
Speaker 4: is the Lipsky. It's Last Temptation of Homer.
Speaker 1: You know when something's like, oh, that's a bit of
Speaker 1: a relic of the past. I feel like you don't
Speaker 1: hear about Crash Test Dummies.
Speaker 3: TV show mate.

Speaker 1: O'Brian fan, so it was my tribute to that kind
Speaker 1: of let him and I had a desk and oh
Speaker 1: yeah Goroxy tonight. It was fun, but I really dove
Speaker 1: into the deep end because I had two different guests
Speaker 1: each night, so I had nineteen shows. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of booking and guests, a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: setting up everything. But it was fun. But yeah, this
Speaker 1: year's rest and Recooper.
Speaker 3: We always stay here on the show that we couldn't
Speaker 3: do stand up comedy. I feel like they're some of
Speaker 3: the bravest people in the world. I just could not
Speaker 3: go up on stage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're basically hero No no, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: not gos dandel and I aren't hilarious. Maybe if I
Speaker 1: if you'll ever have me back again, I think we
Speaker 1: can do the when Krusty does the stand up because
Speaker 1: I think pants Yeah, it's a really good look at
Speaker 1: that that world of yeah, yeah, that's like sort of yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say George Carlin, but yeah, changed his style. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'll leave leave that discussion for that.
Speaker 3: That's a spongeba by Jason of us the saving for me.
Speaker 3: And that's the last temptation of crust. Your favorite pid
Speaker 3: is last temptation of.
Speaker 1: Hey kids, Batman Dad is not the real Batman.
Speaker 5: Of course I'm Batman. See here's a picture of me
Speaker 5: with Robin.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 5: I guess you're only familiar with the New Batman movies,
Speaker 5: Michelle Fiver. The only true catwoman is Julie Numar, Lee
Speaker 5: Merryweather or Eartha kit And I didn't need molded plastic
Speaker 5: to improve my physique, pure West. And how come Batman
Speaker 5: doesn't dance anymore? Remember the bat To see.
Speaker 2: A nice meeting, you just keep moving to make eye contact.
Speaker 3: So as a kid watching this right Batman? For me,
Speaker 3: I was you would have been saying, Michael Katon with
Speaker 3: that Batman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, well no I'm not correct, you know,
Speaker 1: but I am. But for some reason, I don't know
Speaker 1: why we had a VHS of the really old Adam
Speaker 1: West So did you really? Okay? I think that would
Speaker 1: have gone over a lot of kids. But I knew
Speaker 1: what was going on. But so I grew up watching.
Speaker 1: It was only one we had, so I didn't have
Speaker 1: a lot, but it was like walking up the side
Speaker 1: of the building. So that's why I really I knew.
Speaker 3: The music with me is the like Pal Snuffy radioactive Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, snoop. I love the My.
Speaker 3: Memories of the original Batman series is like you wake
Speaker 3: up early on a Saturday before Rage or video hits
Speaker 3: with Start and Channel nine at like five am would
Speaker 3: have Thunderbirds and the original Batman.
Speaker 1: I know why. It was always those two shows. There
Speaker 1: was always those two shows Thunderbirds, and you always felt
Speaker 1: a bit dangerous being up at like five wasn't up yet? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to sneak down. I was a big like
Speaker 1: music fan. It's rage.
Speaker 3: Rage was the best because it was uncuts so good.
Speaker 1: I put the naughty ones on them.
Speaker 3: And the swearing would be allowed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, wow, I shouldn't be watching. I really shouldn't be.
Speaker 3: But like that's me when I used to watch South
Speaker 3: Pike at ninet thirty on a Monday, followed by erotic tales.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, oh, I just remember one of the
Speaker 1: the Bonnie and Clyde car for Bart. Yeah that was
Speaker 1: I was. I was telling my daughter about one of
Speaker 1: the great things, you know, passing on classic comedy things
Speaker 1: that you love. Yeah, yeah, try and fast on. And
Speaker 1: so I was telling her about sometimes when Bart it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm conversing with like Snake, you know,
Speaker 1: and he's in the back and he's like, oh, you
Speaker 1: get me out of here, I can make it worth
Speaker 1: your while. Yeah yeah. So that's like a good recurring joke.
Speaker 1: Is like Bart finding money and doing stuff he probably
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And you can see from this room here my kids
Speaker 3: are now into retro video games.
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like talking about your kids. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like talking about the progression of the show
Speaker 1: of the years. I feel like they've that's what they
Speaker 1: still keep that spirit of Miss shivers bar but just
Speaker 1: don't dedicate whole apps to him. Yeah, so would have
Speaker 1: been like, you know, like working for the mafia.
Speaker 3: Well, it was originally pitched as the kids showing kids
Speaker 3: loved the show because Bart was naughty in nineteen eight,
Speaker 3: ninety ninety. That was like, whoa, this rebel's on TV, right,
Speaker 3: But then the kids sort of outgrew that he wasn't
Speaker 3: cool anymore. So it's like, okay, audience, let's keep the
Speaker 3: adults around them. And that's why they focused on Homer,
Speaker 3: and they found out that he could write funny episodes
Speaker 3: because they could relate to Homer because he was their age,
Speaker 3: the writer's age as well. Trying to white for a
Speaker 3: kid would have been hard.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Yeah. It's definitely interesting to see the progression
Speaker 1: and the voices as well, you know, like finding getting
Speaker 1: to the point that we know them as of.
Speaker 3: Course, Marge's annoyed that hom has brought the player because
Speaker 3: and then he is putting out flies. This is where
Speaker 3: we get the first because they saw of planted the
Speaker 3: seed early on that Barney's going to be playing a
Speaker 3: role in this episode. So he's doing the selling the
Speaker 3: dipe or is he selling diapers. A he's passing the
Speaker 3: flies for like a baby baby store. So yeah, just
Speaker 3: as a baby baby parts of the store. Is it
Speaker 3: The guy says, you discussed me?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is he touch me? Is he the stampard ticket guy?
Speaker 1: Just to him? Yeah, very action of him. Just yeah,
Speaker 1: you discussed me. Just you know, like some characters and things,
Speaker 1: just like sitting single guy. I was like old Jewish
Speaker 1: man wise guy. Yeah, yeah, I feel like he's it
Speaker 1: might be the guy also punched a hippie or was
Speaker 1: singing like the weather or something. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, he's a guy who's if someone's pissed off, he's
Speaker 3: the guy that don't don't screw with this guy. He's
Speaker 3: got no time for you. He's pretty much everybody in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I've got no time for you.
Speaker 3: It's the kind of guy like when you see when
Speaker 3: you're walking in the supermarke or a mall and you
Speaker 3: see the people in the middle of a little boosted
Speaker 3: up and they're gonna want to sell me shit, you
Speaker 3: just power straight past them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I honestly, I was at the supermarket staying. There were
Speaker 4: a couple of young dudes trying to voice some charities.
Speaker 1: He becomes a sucker. I saw them from this part.
Speaker 4: I sort of went all the way around, did the
Speaker 4: longest loop just because I could have just said no, sorry.
Speaker 1: You can't do it. I always do the busy when
Speaker 1: I'm not No, I always.
Speaker 3: That's a good thing about having kids is you can say,
Speaker 3: kids to ship himself, go for.
Speaker 1: It, where when I may myself kids, they say it's
Speaker 1: a good thing for getting off something is like diarrhea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, got the ships.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take it all the time you need, Like
Speaker 1: we want to go second leve.
Speaker 3: It's got the squirts, Like, whoam just keep walking buddy?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So he sees Barney here and then Homer is trying
Speaker 3: to spook himself at church, taking advantage of a situation.
Speaker 3: Just I guess that's one of the things that being
Speaker 3: a comedians, you're constantly going to be spooking and promoting
Speaker 3: yourself as well, right, and the opportunity can.
Speaker 1: Take it does become the sort of like twenty four
Speaker 1: seven consuming and you know, like with the kids, like
Speaker 1: take a photo of me doing this or that, and
Speaker 1: then they get a bit sick of it, but it's it's.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, it's Dad's having a good time.
Speaker 1: I did do this. I don't have to do real work,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: You you beg into like social media or you just
Speaker 3: like I do it because I have to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit like that. But there's good and
Speaker 1: bad about it, you know, where it's that thing of
Speaker 1: like it is a great feeling to put something up
Speaker 1: does well get.
Speaker 3: Reactions on it.
Speaker 1: But then like I said, like there's trolls, there's even
Speaker 1: your own doubts that get created about like you know,
Speaker 1: like I'm not too bad with it now, but but
Speaker 1: the mental side of like, oh, I know, I struggle.
Speaker 3: With very bad reviews and stuff. It affects me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and the whole sort of because you know,
Speaker 1: it's only these last couple of generations almost like guinea pigs.
Speaker 1: It didn't exist in the past, right, So people are
Speaker 1: studying how people react to like, likes and views, and you.
Speaker 3: Know, I found it interesting. I was talking to some
Speaker 3: guy recently who he is a comedian, and he says
Speaker 3: he actually gets people to put fake hate comments in
Speaker 3: the comments to get his actual fans to respond to it.
Speaker 3: Because then the algorithm of this of the platform on
Speaker 3: Instagram and TikTok or whatever thinks that people engaging with
Speaker 3: this and they boost it to more people. So it's
Speaker 3: like it's a dirty way. Yeah, but it's just like
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's it's just tacking.
Speaker 1: That I need people who genuinely hate me. But it's
Speaker 1: funny you say that because like a lot of the
Speaker 1: times I ignore them, but I have had times where
Speaker 1: I've clapped back and yeah, people have enjoyed what I said,
Speaker 1: which is like part of me is oh cool. But
Speaker 1: also I don't want to be this roast roast comedian,
Speaker 1: like I always thought it was cringey, even when I
Speaker 1: saw there were these veteran comics who've been doing a
Speaker 1: lot of time who had these great comebacks in there
Speaker 1: am I But it's like, why not just write good jokes? Don't? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, But so I just loved hearing the church
Speaker 3: once the reverend said, like, you know, this is very
Speaker 3: low clicks his things and he's got security at the church.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's got some muscle. I love that. Yeah, the church. Yeah, lista.
Speaker 3: It suggests we can add on what we would call
Speaker 3: Channel thirty one, the local TV station. You know it
Speaker 3: maybe it LEASTI channel, but the Simpsons are on TV
Speaker 3: just their way of jokes like that as a kid.
Speaker 3: Not funny, but they just there diget Fox at the time.
Speaker 1: I love the the C Captain CD and the exact
Speaker 1: way they used to.
Speaker 3: Have running through the best of the seventies.
Speaker 1: Highlight the song that's on and I remember remember.
Speaker 3: We used to have to order like that, like your
Speaker 3: favorite TV shows, like if you want to watch Mash
Speaker 3: order the collection now just twenty nine ninety five for
Speaker 3: three episodes.
Speaker 4: Is an Austra I think it's cruel for the strain
Speaker 4: production coming that still does that. You can't buy like
Speaker 4: because they do sorry really show the age, but they
Speaker 4: shows like cop Shop It was really good, but you
Speaker 4: can't buy it a JB or on Amazon. You have
Speaker 4: to go to their side. Okay, do he hate Saturday
Speaker 4: mark up? I think Summer's got like he hate Saturday website.
Speaker 4: He's going to own the y wouldn't put it past.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so they got the channel on the local
Speaker 3: station and yeah, it's just hilarious. It just they absolutely
Speaker 3: nailed that local TV channel thirty one Vibe think.
Speaker 1: And they've also got the mister Plower jingle, which is
Speaker 1: just it actually works just the.
Speaker 3: Name mister Plower as well it's so sexy, mister.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing I want to say that I
Speaker 1: particularly could connect with was the sitting as a family
Speaker 1: waiting for the thing wedding, like I don't do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: wedding sucks. We don't do it now. But obviously when
Speaker 1: it was years ago, when it was a novelty for
Speaker 1: me to be on something, I'd be like, got the
Speaker 1: family gather around, and then it was like, get this
Speaker 1: crap off, whatever's on before you know, because that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I think it only came in in recent years where
Speaker 1: it was like the previous thing going way over. Like
Speaker 1: TV used to stick to its time slow right, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: it we'd be like, come and watch my things going
Speaker 1: to be. I think the very first thing I ever
Speaker 1: did on TV, I was like I had to I
Speaker 1: had to run through a room in the nude. Yeah
Speaker 1: Ronnie Chang, Yeah yeah, I was on his sitcom. So
Speaker 1: it was just like a blurm running through. But the
Speaker 1: funny thing that is, so I was ninety nine point
Speaker 1: nine percent nude, but they had a pouch thing for
Speaker 1: the genitals and anyway, don't worry, there's nothing crook coming
Speaker 1: up there. The lady who was like in charge of
Speaker 1: I guess like costume design. She said, this thing we're
Speaker 1: using I've done once before for Keanu Reeves. She's like
Speaker 1: Kiano and Gox. I guess it was matrix or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe you've shared sweat now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh no, I don't think it was the same
Speaker 1: thing that was on the Don't Kill the Legend.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in my mind, I'm just worrying the thing Keiano, Yeah,
Speaker 1: on his Kiano. Yeah. Yeah, that's why break so I
Speaker 1: remember that getting together the family to watch that. Maybe
Speaker 1: one other thing, but that was a nice little thing
Speaker 1: of like waiting for their take me back. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The home is good at his job. He cleared in
Speaker 3: front of the quickie marks. The snake's going to rob
Speaker 3: the joint. The retirement castle. I've just got here. Uh,
Speaker 3: the old folks here feels like the majority of the
Speaker 3: population once COVID restrictions were lifted. So we're all stuck
Speaker 3: in our houses for so long. Then the restrictions were
Speaker 3: removed and we're like, we can be, we can free.
Speaker 3: I'd rather stay home much next. Yeah, I'd rather just
Speaker 3: not go anywhere. I don't want to talk to anybody anymore.
Speaker 3: I'm just so used to doing nothing now but two
Speaker 3: years worked.
Speaker 1: The other thing I love of the Simpsons world or Springfield,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, is the the extremes
Speaker 1: of the weather because it's it's I think they spoke
Speaker 1: about this on the commentaries right where if we need
Speaker 1: a mountain, a mountains there, we need a ocean because
Speaker 1: it's like ocean, desert snow, they've had heat waves everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's Victoria.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so he clears the school as well. Off
Speaker 3: Martin is so dedicated to get to school. He's the
Speaker 3: only one there. But bar gets beaten up with snowballs
Speaker 3: from because his dad saved the day. Then he's get
Speaker 3: given them the key to the city. And it's just
Speaker 3: this this actually happened because you see movies and TV
Speaker 3: shows you're given the key to the city.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Can we just sorry, I could
Speaker 1: just quickly go back to the beating up thing. I
Speaker 1: just thought that was you know, I know I talk
Speaker 1: a lot about this, but like a little a little
Speaker 1: shot at like how how I guess mean kids can
Speaker 1: be whether it's like you're yeah, that was a good
Speaker 1: Like I said, not everything has to be this huge comment,
Speaker 1: but it was a. It was a quick little guy,
Speaker 1: like ten second little bit. But it was just like
Speaker 1: your dad made us go to and also like blaming
Speaker 1: the kid up there. Dad did get the horrible man. Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: well you know because like I I've spoken a little
Speaker 1: bit about this, I'm not trying to turn this into
Speaker 1: like you know talking I've had some guests on talk
Speaker 1: about when I've talked with people about the changes of
Speaker 1: like society, like being very angry to multicultural and Gox
Speaker 1: is like a weird sort of name, right, And but
Speaker 1: I was as a kid, I'd get like Jock's chicken
Speaker 1: but all the rhymes and yeah, so that's why I
Speaker 1: hate kids.
Speaker 3: If you wait in Australia, I feel like you would
Speaker 3: have been fine because jocks feels like a naussy thing. Right,
Speaker 3: do you say jocks anywhere else?
Speaker 1: I don't think they do. But it wasn't it. It
Speaker 1: was just like they did it all the rhymes where
Speaker 1: they're like because.
Speaker 3: When they name me, but what can I be?
Speaker 1: Car't art dart? Nothing wrong with that? Yeah, the kids
Speaker 1: are clearly how wld you?
Speaker 3: But yes, so they saved the day at the school
Speaker 3: right to laugh at you? Ralph, Yes, and he tells
Speaker 3: Barnie too, because Barney says like, oh man, wish I
Speaker 3: could do something with myself, and Homer says, just get
Speaker 3: out there and be the best version of yourself. So
Speaker 3: he races out and he does that. Marge then wants
Speaker 3: Homer to in bedroom and she want him to wear
Speaker 3: the jack and I was like, that's so good. One
Speaker 3: of the good things about this show is they're both
Speaker 3: DTF like, oh yeahma must be good in the sack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another one of those you know how when
Speaker 1: Grimes are dressed like you shouldn't have all these beautiful things.
Speaker 1: I think that includes Marge.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, you've never been Yeah. I love that he's
Speaker 4: got the key of around his neck as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, as well he was putting on the middle
Speaker 3: of the question people could actually get given the key
Speaker 3: to the city. I think it's what does this key
Speaker 3: out lock? I think it's a metaphorical, but why would
Speaker 3: you want that?
Speaker 4: I think you should do is display it somewhere. I
Speaker 4: think it might get you like ten percent of an
Speaker 4: entree the gilded truffle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's it. Yeah, it's also that thing too.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, if it's like Melbourne or Syding
Speaker 1: like it's so big, no one cares, but I feel
Speaker 1: like you like Brisbane here has been like powder Finger
Speaker 1: and maybe some rugby players and like.
Speaker 3: Dorian getting, yeah getting. The Olympics had the cyclone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so the Keys are going to the cyclone.
Speaker 1: Yeah thanks for not smashing us that. Yeah, I watching
Speaker 1: was going now we played the wedding game. Yeah. All
Speaker 1: I could think of was like, has anyone done the
Speaker 1: like you know, I was like the hurricane like.
Speaker 3: Someone I actually placed it on the paper. Change to
Speaker 3: the cyclone. Yeah, nice of course, saying we are thinking
Speaker 3: of all our pals up in Queensland. We were suffering
Speaker 3: because of the cyclone. So he wakes up the next day,
Speaker 3: was he saying something like gold, God's gold.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's when stone, Yeah yeah and good gold.
Speaker 3: Or realizes that that the plower king has now arrived.
Speaker 3: Choose he tires out, have the competition classic Jo, We
Speaker 3: come back and it's the ad with Linda Ronstadt.
Speaker 1: When the snow starts falling.
Speaker 3: There's a man you should be calling that scale five
Speaker 3: or seventy nine six, Let it ring.
Speaker 1: Mister Plow is a loser and I think he's a boozer,
Speaker 1: So you better make that calture.
Speaker 3: The patter, And I just love how aggressively he beats
Speaker 3: up the cutout of Homer, like he beats him up,
Speaker 3: goes off screen, and then comes back harder.
Speaker 1: She's into beating up as well.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, okay, you're sure when you were singing the
Speaker 4: praise of Linda Ronsett before, one of the most beautiful
Speaker 4: voices in popular music at the last, Yet is just
Speaker 4: a good sport in this as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for some reason, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for any time there's like a cardboard
Speaker 1: cutout or I really love that when Marge made up
Speaker 1: the Homer with like the gloves.
Speaker 3: And or when Homer does the President's sons.
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, it's just something about it. It's like
Speaker 1: it's like a cartoon within a cartoon.
Speaker 3: I do love a good cardboard cutt. I've got a
Speaker 3: couple of like cinema displays from I've got the original Yeah,
Speaker 3: I noticed Kidding might appreciate this. I'm too sure he
Speaker 3: might have been too old for it. But the original
Speaker 3: Power Rangers film. Oh yeah, yeah, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's anytime there's like something within something. I
Speaker 1: think that's great, Like, yeah.
Speaker 3: It's revealed here that he got Bunny into drinking, as
Speaker 3: you were saying earlier, and then he's just basically going
Speaker 3: around and he's lost his customers. Like Flanners isn't using
Speaker 3: him anymore, Adam West isn't using It's too late.
Speaker 1: Still money still three hours minutes ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take your money, but I'm not doing I feel
Speaker 1: like that's another one that's been used a bit. It's
Speaker 1: a great show.
Speaker 4: I'll take your money. He's got the moral high ground
Speaker 4: by doing so. I'll take your money, but I won't
Speaker 4: do your stinking.
Speaker 1: Well, it's the airlines of view at the moment.
Speaker 3: They'll take your money when I actually put your ticket onating.
Speaker 1: You may be going home tonight. You maybe not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, some some unnamed app that we won't discuss.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, when it's happening to someone else, I
Speaker 1: can laugh at it. When it's happening to you, it's.
Speaker 4: Not funny, mel Brooks is like tragedy is when I
Speaker 4: get a hangnail. Comedy is when you fall in a manholen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because of that, like tragedy over time.
Speaker 4: That's oh yeah, tragedy. Tragedy plus time equals comment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pull a curtain back. I just have to leave
Speaker 3: the studio because the damn neighbors kids knocking on the door.
Speaker 3: Can Elliott come play?
Speaker 1: Not here, leave play with yourself exactly. Had fun.
Speaker 3: Uh this is where the repay guys call up. They said,
Speaker 3: we're going to take you player, but we don't pay
Speaker 3: off your bills, and suggests the ad agency.
Speaker 1: Well, I love how the repay you guys tricked him.
Speaker 3: He's like, this is I'm just just you while I
Speaker 3: think that's at the end that be the first one here,
Speaker 3: but it's calling from the repurgency. We're going to take
Speaker 3: your car.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: At the end of yeah yeah, But this is where
Speaker 3: this suggests the ad agency like a real fancy commercial
Speaker 3: on hommad does his rap boom boom.
Speaker 1: Boom boom.
Speaker 2: I missed the plow and I'm here to day I'm
Speaker 2: and he's dying.
Speaker 1: You were there.
Speaker 2: I got a big so and I move a lot
Speaker 2: of things your car with one.
Speaker 3: Very nineties this rap. Oh yeah yeah, not going down
Speaker 3: as well the sideways. Do you remember the Looney Tunes
Speaker 3: in the nineties had that kind of clothing one where
Speaker 3: they all wear their hats back towards that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: We all wore it.
Speaker 3: But they make the really shitty commercial, which was you
Speaker 3: said based on Calvin Klein, is what you said?
Speaker 4: That's Barney's one, the one that's sort of been black
Speaker 4: and white with the opera or something.
Speaker 3: But this one was based on something as well. I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure the Homers. Homer's Homer's fancy one here. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's it's all similar, stolen with black and white and
Speaker 3: just having nothing.
Speaker 1: To do with actually the plow.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's a lot a lot of ads like

Speaker 3: it was chocolate inside. Then Homo sees the report on
Speaker 3: TV of Arnie Pine and the Sky, one of your
Speaker 3: favorite characters. What do you think about anti Pine and
Speaker 3: the Sky.
Speaker 1: I like it. It's you know, I know we've got
Speaker 1: some here with radio, and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't feel in as many characters left because
Speaker 3: I don't really listen to radio anyone. It's in the
Speaker 3: radio anymore talk podcast too.
Speaker 1: I listen to sports talk radio talk.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I knew I was getting old when I
Speaker 3: prefer I put on talk back radio, and I realize
Speaker 3: I prefer it, but I think that's just the podcast
Speaker 3: coming up. I listened to podcast conversations.
Speaker 1: I'll listen to, but it does make me angry. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I had this, and it's that thing
Speaker 1: where you like, you have like a group chat and
Speaker 1: I'll tell people this happened this, They're like, why do
Speaker 1: you put yourself through this? If you seem to hate it?
Speaker 3: What's your what's your sport of choice? Brisbane? So you
Speaker 3: be rugby?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? Yeah, but I like AFL as well. I'm
Speaker 1: that one guy who.
Speaker 3: Likes both it's pretty rare or your team won.
Speaker 1: But I'm living back in Brisbane again, so we've got
Speaker 1: it's pretty much rugby chat. Yeah that's it. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: but it is amazing to like listening to sports for
Speaker 1: how they get all day discussion out of.
Speaker 3: Nothing, nothing, And it's the same. One little thing will
Speaker 3: happen on a football field and they somehow draw it
Speaker 3: out for five days. But he homus is a report
Speaker 3: from only pining this guy forbidding Widow's peaks as a
Speaker 3: blizzard or whatever. So he calls up, but he's in
Speaker 3: the spa with Linda having a great time. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: getting down and she basically says to him, look, there's
Speaker 3: a gig up here on top of the peak. Come
Speaker 3: up me, come up and get me blah blah blah,
Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars. So he leaves, and then Homer starts
Speaker 3: taking advantage of the mister plow plower King not being
Speaker 3: in the city. Kiss my ass, Fhult. He's just being
Speaker 3: horrible to people.
Speaker 1: You see what, Homo.
Speaker 3: It's not getting gigs anymore?
Speaker 1: Is that no person?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then he sees the report that the plower
Speaker 3: King is now trapped. So he goes to say the
Speaker 3: day and pretty much that's just it. That's the end
Speaker 3: of the episode. Yeah, so the plow he saves the day.
Speaker 3: He says that nothing can stop us. Now two friends
Speaker 3: get together. God is bothered by this, gets rid of
Speaker 3: all the snow.
Speaker 1: But God just makes a cameo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just not appreciated at all. It gets rid
Speaker 3: of all the snow. There's now no snow. They've got
Speaker 3: no business left.
Speaker 4: So the snowman melt like the Nazis in the Rais
Speaker 4: of Lost Arc.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Yeah's reference.
Speaker 1: Try not to make everything like, oh, this is a
Speaker 1: comment on but even that, do you think that was
Speaker 1: a little bit of like you know, when he's like
Speaker 1: kiss my ass, well, like that's kind of a comment
Speaker 1: on like sometimes a business will be getting business because
Speaker 1: it's the only one in town and they can be
Speaker 1: always the best or nicest or Yeah, so it's a
Speaker 1: lot competition is healthy, that's yeah, yeah, yeah, it makes
Speaker 1: you accountable. And even the Home of Verse Byding is
Speaker 1: a little bit of a look at like how rival
Speaker 1: friends friends can become rivals, I guess, and.
Speaker 3: They get money involved with friendship yeah, never good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so the repay guy repossesses the mister Plower.
Speaker 1: That's when he was doing this, I'm just distracting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, but luckily he's still got the jacket and
Speaker 3: Marge just says all she is the jacket. He puts
Speaker 3: it on, sings his little tune at the end, and
Speaker 3: that's the end of the episode. I just I think
Speaker 3: a very sexy episode.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he sings his song, but he's also puts
Speaker 4: on his DJ voice because he's the forecasters for Flor's
Speaker 4: passion with prolonged periods of getting it all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And one thing the writers would talk about
Speaker 1: on the DVD conn is that say they love that
Speaker 1: screwing with the old sitcom where everything ends beautifully. That's
Speaker 1: like it doesn't end happy.
Speaker 3: It's not always yeah what's happy? Well that status quo
Speaker 3: as well. They always have to get back to the
Speaker 3: status quo of Yeah. So he was the plower king
Speaker 3: for this, well, mister Planier for this one, he can't
Speaker 3: be for the next one.
Speaker 1: It was the early days of home and doing a
Speaker 1: million different jobs and things. Yeah, what he always is.
Speaker 3: But that is the end of mister playoff. So thank
Speaker 3: you for choosing this one.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, and thank you for joining. Glad you agreed
Speaker 1: to Like I was worried to be like this sucks?
Speaker 3: Why anything from season one to nine?
Speaker 1: You're fine? Yeah, but sorry, go would make connection? Did
Speaker 1: you say last Temptation at home?
Speaker 3: So the thing is obviously you're here, you know, be
Speaker 3: doing ben Interation with Comedy Festival this year, but have
Speaker 3: you got any gigs on the horizon that we should
Speaker 3: be checking out?
Speaker 1: Not really, but I do well, Like I tour around.
Speaker 1: I try to keep busy. So like the festivals, they
Speaker 1: are are big thing, but there is this whole other
Speaker 1: while they're going on, there's other commands who do their
Speaker 1: own stuff.
Speaker 3: Is it better to do a solo tour than join
Speaker 3: these festivals? The festival is good for finding new fans
Speaker 3: because everyone's there to find coming.
Speaker 1: That's like what I was saying, is like the fest
Speaker 1: because they're on in these biggest cities, so you can
Speaker 1: go to like smaller regional towns and stuff, and so.
Speaker 3: They appreciate you coming to them as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So part of me feels a little bit
Speaker 1: sad my friends and peers are doing in this big
Speaker 1: event like Melbourne's one of the biggest fests in the world.
Speaker 1: But I take it as like, yeah, well when you're there,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna have Yeah, it's coming for time worth.
Speaker 4: Does Australia have like road comics. You hear about them
Speaker 4: in the States, how they're doing. Yeah, they're more because
Speaker 4: they're on.
Speaker 1: The cruise ships. But me and my friend who's another
Speaker 1: communi angers, we've done a lot of road trips together
Speaker 1: and we talk about this stuff. We're like, man, there's
Speaker 1: some of these people, like they work really hard and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of sacrifices. The people who just never
Speaker 1: stop being on the road. Like I know, some of
Speaker 1: them don't have an you know, they say no fixed
Speaker 1: address because they residentially. So in one way, you're doing
Speaker 1: what you love, but in another way, it's hard to
Speaker 1: make friendships relationships you're.
Speaker 3: Always moving around. Yeah, especially with like, yeah, your family
Speaker 3: as well, it's hard to have a family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably don't have to vote. That's a good but yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's I mean, I mean, it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: a pretty deep discussion going in. But it's a little
Speaker 1: bit sad when you that's why some of them I
Speaker 1: guess maybe after just doing it for ten years or so. Oh,
Speaker 1: I want to settle down a bit because it's it's
Speaker 1: like something like these like mining or being a soldier
Speaker 1: or something where you get sent away. But but I'm
Speaker 1: not those pill but I but I do like to
Speaker 1: keep busy.
Speaker 3: But do you find he trying to go back to
Speaker 3: the same place more than once a year?
Speaker 1: Yeah, particularly as I'm not a huge writer. So I've
Speaker 1: been going back to some places where I've been and
Speaker 1: I'll say to them like, who saw me last time? Was?
Speaker 1: Like a few hands go up, and I'll say that
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope there's enough new jokes for you.
Speaker 1: But usually they do they say, oh, you know, we
Speaker 1: so they either forgot all the jokes from last time
Speaker 1: to drunk to hear it. Yeah. Yeah, but I love
Speaker 1: getting to new places. I have probably about three times.
Speaker 1: Yeah Barwin Club, are you we go? Yeah? But no,
Speaker 1: So I'm juggling a few things. My next I try
Speaker 1: and do some things like I don't like the word gimmick,
Speaker 1: but they probably are. But yeah, I'm in a boxing fight,
Speaker 1: so that's my no ship.
Speaker 3: You don't mentioned this yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's why I was like, you know, i'd
Speaker 1: like to be back, depending if I live through that
Speaker 1: officially now. Yeah, so it's what it is. It's all
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should say there they're probably
Speaker 1: rivals to here, but they're all podcasts each other. But
Speaker 1: it's called they're called the people are organize alpha blokes.
Speaker 1: So it's like it's not really a world I'm a
Speaker 1: part of. It's that blokey Joe Rogan. Ok. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: more of a pop culture but yeah, I love things
Speaker 1: like that. So I've never been in a fight before,
Speaker 1: so I'm supposed to be training. Now I've done a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 3: Can you please make sure you come out too weak?
Speaker 3: Why can't we be friends?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I thought about that. Yeah, yeah, you're you gonna
Speaker 1: have the stinger, Like there's probably there's probably already enough
Speaker 1: refer and as to him, I'm hoping to like wear
Speaker 1: him down and I can just be like yeah, and
Speaker 1: then I've got someone ready to fly me out so
Speaker 1: he can man. Yeah, i think I'm my favorite song
Speaker 1: probably going to come out to Walking on the Sun
Speaker 1: by Smash Around, but not favorite song. I just meant
Speaker 1: for coming out a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of a star.
Speaker 1: Yeah that'd be good. But yeah, so that's probably my
Speaker 1: next big thing. What is that it's a day after
Speaker 1: Anzac Day on the Gold twenty six. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think there's some streaming and stuff for I mean,
Speaker 1: I was only half drinking, like saying their rival, like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not, but there are other they're all
Speaker 1: podcasters fighting each other. Okay, but but yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 1: if anyone wants to check it.
Speaker 3: Out, it's there.
Speaker 1: It's on the goal goes day after Anzac days to
Speaker 1: April twenty six, and yeah, I'm hoping to live through that.
Speaker 1: I'll be poorly from the Rocky movies that that'll be me.
Speaker 1: And he's not getting whipped. I'm pretty sure. It's it's
Speaker 1: quite safe. It's it's more the Olympic star where you've
Speaker 1: got It's not like the mic.
Speaker 3: Are you going to be actually trying to punch him?
Speaker 3: You're sort of this we want to get into this.
Speaker 1: My opponent is a big boy. I think I'm at
Speaker 1: least thirty kilos, So why why Europe against mister b Well,
Speaker 1: it's like why am I doing it? Like I said,
Speaker 1: I just I like to put myself up for things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good luck, my friend, thank you. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: concerning when people like the response is why like and
Speaker 1: the other thing. Some of my friends it's really nice
Speaker 1: to them, but they're also like, you can pull out
Speaker 1: if you want man to do this. Well, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to be positive, but like they're putting down in my mind,
Speaker 1: I was hoping for a bit more you can do this,
Speaker 1: but but I think they're worried about like guilt, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have encouraged him.
Speaker 3: But they doubled the edge.
Speaker 1: And but I mean, like I've done a lot of
Speaker 1: different sports, I've done rugby. It can't be that much.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
