I was like, oh man, I'm so bad. 23 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:23.640 I shouldn't come pick you up. 24 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.280 I'm speaking of Simpsons. I did the like he's some 25 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.040 non given up comedy guy. But you do a lot 26 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.879 of this when yeah, you're on Well look it's a 27 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.000 few years off now, but you might have heard of 28 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.560 something called COVID that was going around. Yeah, bug, but 29 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:43.599 that's conspiracy. Comedians. Yeah, us comedians we did some zoom 30 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.959 gigs are horror, so I'll always jump on the in person. 31 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.359 But you were telling us off the air that you're 32 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.359 watching people get off their couches mid show, which I 33 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.959 just think is rude. Yeah, you paid to watch a comedian. 34 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.560 You wouldn't get up and leave it when you're at 35 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.000 the show, So why do you get off the couch? 36 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.680 But that was the problem is they just think he 37 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:00.519 can't don't see me. 38 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:01.280 I'm at home. 39 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.000 Yeah, yeah, did it three you off? It did a little? 40 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.000 It did and there was no laughter, which isn't that 41 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.639 different to my normal I'm Jane. I don't have a 42 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.240 big egear, but I like to think there's a little 43 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.560 bit of laughter at my gigs. But that was a 44 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.560 very weird time and I won't go too much into 45 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.680 the sort of mental health side, but a lot of 46 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.120 us had that kind of like because when you're used 47 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.080 to touring around, you can go to a town, make people 48 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.240 laugh hopefully, and then all of a sudden it's like, 49 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:30.840 well what am I now? 50 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.840 Like you know, yeah, what's my purpose here? 51 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.560 Yeah?

When we're doing season twenty. 63 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.319 It's kind of like we're we've got the metal detector 64 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.919 out and we're going along the beach like maybe we'll 65 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.280 find a twenty cent pieces and that, Yeah, maybe there'll 66 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:15.159 be a joke somewhere with this. 67 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.120 It's just like, holy should have go watch Yeah.

You just go, We're 79 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.360 five minutes in and I reckon, I've taken twenty jokes. 80 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:48.560 Yeah jokes already. 81 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.080 Yeah, and you know the classic years, like, yes, references 82 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.960 were shoved in, but they were like the writer's favorite 83 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.319 directors and you know, like, what's trying to think, Oh, 84 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.199 like Kuber or something like that. Now it's like put 85 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:10.599 put iPod in. Put Like that's just shoving in pop cult. Yeah, 86 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:11.360 get it on board. 87 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:12.680 It's all about who we can get on the show. 88 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:17.040 Yeaheah, exactly. And by the way, I'm thirty six. Yeah, 89 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:17.800 so I'm thirty nine. 90 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.000 Okay, So you grew up in the nineties with The Simpsons. Yeah, yeah, 91 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.600 so one of your earliest memories of the show. 92 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.600 Thanks for saying, Oh well, I'm ancient. It does. It's 93 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.800 gonna sound a bit cheesy, but I definitely feel like 94 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.319 I've grown up. I grew up with it because as 95 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.240 a kid, I remember the like radical Bart era, don't 96 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:36.680 have a cow. 97 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.199 You would have been about five when The Simpsons started then, yeah. 98 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.360 But then, I mean Australia picked it up pretty quick 99 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.800 compared to a lot of stuff that took time to 100 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.199 come over. I still remember things going fast track from USA, 101 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.279 so I remember that sort of Bart's bad boy that was. 102 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.560 It was center out bar right like the first few 103 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.839 seasons and speaking about being harsh, I can't do season one. 104 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.639 Some people say, I mean, it's nice to see where 105 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.399 it started. But you know, with Homer, like embarrassed by 106 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.720 the family and the first I think. 107 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.480 It's the third episode he wants to kill himself because 108 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.519 he lost his job and was going Holy Molly. But 109 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.839 there is an episode moaning Lisa, which is episode six, 110 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.160 where it's just as relevant now as it was back 111 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.160 then because Lisa is sad and she doesn't know why. 112 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.480 And at the end Marcher says, you want to be sad, 113 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:27.600 just be sad. Yeah, I'll be here for you, And 114 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:28.600 I thought that's so. 115 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.800 Oh yeah, a lot of stuff. I have some nice 116 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.959 touching stuff, but it didn't not the hilarious humor that 117 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.519 you know. It's really finding its feet, isn't it. And 118 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:44.800 so my very earliest memory would probably be the big Foot. 119 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.879 Deep I was gonna say, called the Simpsons things. Most 120 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.399 nineties kids remember that, Ozzie Kids, Hungry Jack's had action 121 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.639 figures right that. I remember my friends having it, and 122 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.600 we didn't have Huncle Jacks. We were McDonald's KFC family. 123 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.879 I don't know about yourself, but when mum came home 124 00:05:59.040 --> 00:05:59.680 with Hungry. 125 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.000 Jacks rooster, yeah, the other place burned down? Or what's 126 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:04.279 going on? 127 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:05.720 Takeaways? 128 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:06.279 Right? Yeah? 129 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.120 So Thursday night takeaway night was our thing as kids, 130 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:11.680 and it was always Maxis and KFC whichever. We didn't 131 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.639 care if mom came home with red rooster or Hungry Jacks, 132 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.160 we thought we'd done something wrong. What was what was 133 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:18.360 your go to takeaways? 134 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.519 Kid? Yeah? What do you want? 135 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:23.839 Doxy? 136 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.560 What do you want for? It's funny because, like my 137 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.199 humor now is heavily based around the fast food chains, 138 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.680 my parents didn't do a lot of the so maybe 139 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.279 that was my rebellion. Like when you know, when you 140 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.920 get to forty and you start working, you like, I 141 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.920 can spend my own money. I will have a rip 142 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.199 a roll. Yeah, that was it. I was like when 143 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.959 I'm like fourteen doing part time jobs, it's all about like, no, 144 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.079 now I can get KFSC. 145 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.360 I was liked to watch The Simpsons as a kid, 146 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.360 so I think that's why I became obsessed with it 147 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.839 once I was allowed to. But by the point I 148 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.319 was allowed to, people are almost starting to get over it. 149 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.759 So I was always almost like the only Simpsons kid 150 00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.040 in my group. But I told I started watching the 151 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.519 show I was watching all I was six. 152 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.600 Yeah. Yeah, well it is like it is funny when 153 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.959 you hear about that because I could see in parts, 154 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.800 you know, when with the Bart rebellion thing. But I 155 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.879 mean it seems like things that came afterwards were a 156 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:13.879 lot more cooked. 157 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.000 From me South Park from me, it's because of one 158 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.199 consists of Maggie getting a knife out of the drawer 159 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.480 and what do you think little Dando did? 160 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:26.079 Oh yeah, that's it. It is. Kids are very influenced. Yeah. 161 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.519 Was your comedy influence by The Simpsons? Oh? Yeah? But 162 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.199 like I said, I like to think the because sometimes 163 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.319 I'll think of something and I'm like, oh, that's a 164 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.959 Simpsons joke. But then I'll be like, well, at least 165 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.279 i'm it's the greatest comedy ever that I'm copying, Like, 166 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:39.560 you know. 167 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.000 Well, that's like you're saying, I mean, kids are kids 168 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.639 are sponges. Yeah, they soak up whatever. And I think 169 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.879 if you grow up watching something like The Simpsons, or 170 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.240 if you're a bit older like me, you grow up 171 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.319 sort of watching you know, classic sitcoms on tea, and 172 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.360 if you've got any inclination to be funny, that's where 173 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.399 you learn. You learn the rule of threes, where you 174 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.680 learn that's good timing as opposed to bad time, and 175 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.720 that's how you land a joke. That's until I means yeah, 176 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.680 and that's how you bold in references and all that 177 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:04.319 kind of stuff. 178 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.240 That's what I think. Another memory, early memory I have 179 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.839 is because that's the thing they didn't really repeat the 180 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.839 very first season much, I don't. 181 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.480 Think, and it was never on TV, was it. 182 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.399 But then I remember because of the bad bart I remember, 183 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.040 like the water bombs by the Genius. I just have 184 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:25.199 this memory of him or Green. Yeah. Yeah, there's things 185 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.000 like that where it's just like but as a kid, 186 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.120 it is that it's just like it looks so cool 187 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.000 and the voices. 188 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:31.959 It was different, wasn't it. 189 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:32.240 Yeah? 190 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.120 Yeah, but I think they did Channel ten. They it 191 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.320 seemed to be sometimes season three, but it was most 192 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.240 of like season four to like season seven seemed to 193 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.480 be the ones that were on rotation. Yeah, six pm L. 194 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.000 It is quite interesting to read the history of it 195 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.320 where you know, like because you know it as this 196 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.799 big behemoth, but like when you read about how early 197 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.120 on it was such a gamble and yeah, I think, 198 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.080 like I think ten wasn't even like a big sort 199 00:08:59.120 --> 00:08:59.840 of channel in one. 200 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.120 I think at the time maybe and I think it 201 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:02.639 was maybe it was channeled ten by that point. 202 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:03.840 Was that no, what was it called? What was it 203 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:04.639 used to be? Channel? Oh? 204 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:06.000 Yeah? 205 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.120 Eighties? And I was kind of the poor a cousin 206 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.200 for seven and it was always seven and nine. 207 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.440 Yeah, the two big ogs jeellling it out in the 208 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.360 ABC's that go, you guys feel pretty good, duke it 209 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:20.240 doubt we'll be over here. 210 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:20.639 Yeah. 211 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.759 I remember reading or maybe watching once somewhere where Rove 212 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.080 was saying that they didn't Channel ten were interested in 213 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.440 the Simpsons, Channel seven were interested and then someone passed 214 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.679 it up and then someone said Channel ten the kids 215 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.200 show something different, give it a go, and best decision 216 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:33.679 they ever made. 217 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:35.440 And it was real canter programming as well when it 218 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.519 first started, because I think it was on Sunday nights 219 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.879 up against sixty minutes or something. Yeah, sounds like, okay, 220 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.039 Well you can need to be you know, supercipisticated catch 221 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.960 up on the current affairs of the world, or you. 222 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.759 Can do what's the Simpsons. There's this thing as as 223 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.559 a comedian kind of there's certain things you're expected to like. 224 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.639 It sounds weird expected, but like, for example, like Seinfeld, 225 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.080 like there's probably like ninety or ninety five percent commanis 226 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.360 would say they love it, and I didn't. But mostly 227 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.519 I watched things that suited my age more, you know, 228 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.320 because and that I just didn't really connect with it. 229 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.320 Sounds weird to say I connect with the Simpsons, but 230 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.519 it's a cartoon. I didn't connect with these what were 231 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.759 they like, thirty somethings in New York or whatever. 232 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.720 I didn't like Seinfelder kid. Yeah, yeah, do you like 233 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:16.320 Seinfeld now? 234 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.440 Though? Well that's the thing. I haven't actually retro but 235 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.720 I don't hate it or anything, but I just know 236 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.360 I'm a little bit of a outside comic comedian. Yeah, yeah, 237 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.000 because it is one of those ones where it's like 238 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.120 that's almost like, you know how certain elements of entertainment, 239 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.600 it's like, oh, if you're into metal, you're probably like metallic. Yeah. 240 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.000 You know, if a comedian come up to you and 241 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.240 ask you if you like Seinfeld, you just say you do. 242 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:44.480 Yeah, I'm just like these pretzels with that one of 243 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:48.240 the three catchphrases. I know. But again, like I think 244 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.840 with the that you do meet every now and then, 245 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.639 a commune who wasn't allowed to watch another thing I 246 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.399 was told Tasmania apparently didn't have it at all. Really, 247 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:02.399 I don't know if it's Channel ten television. Yeah, I 248 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.159 think it's I think it was Channel ten and all 249 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.879 the Simpsons are one of those. But yeah, and I'm like, so, 250 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.200 how did you end up being funny? 251 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:13.720 Like, yeah, can you remember an episode that influenced you 252 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.879 at all where you maybe write a joke from an. 253 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.879 Episode of this? Oh gosh, that's put me on the spot, 254 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.919 you know, Like I said, like you like to think 255 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.720 your original, but let me are well, a lot of 256 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.639 what I talk about food and stuff is like very 257 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.519 like Homer like, but I try and put like an 258 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.519 Aussie twist on it. So I guess what was the question? 259 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.000 And I was a massive con O'Brien fan as well 260 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.360 as I know he only wrote. 261 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.679 A few but doing the Oscars again next year. He 262 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.559 hosted this year. He's already got the gig for next year. 263 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.399 Yeah, I'll often I know this doesn't really answer your question, 264 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.080 but I'll often say like season five is my favorite season, 265 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:53.559 so I guess season five. Yeah, well that's it. Yeah, yeah, 266 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.759 I do think I was just discussing this of you. 267 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.919 If ever for a little peak behind the curve. 268 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.360 Curtains always open when it's. 269 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.240 Funny when you say, like like you're pinning yourself down 270 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:05.919 and say this is my favorite season. But my favorite 271 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.600 apps from definitely I'll say like five. But then obviously 272 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.799 you like a lot of other apps. But yeah, I 273 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:15.240 guess that humor. John Sportsworld as well. I had his books. 274 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.159 He like a lot of love a lot of that humor, 275 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.559 So any any of that, I guess, like the food stuff. 276 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.320 I'm a big geography nerds. I like geography, joke, sports jokes. Yeah, 277 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.159 so those sort of those big three. But one thing 278 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.039 I do. Having said like fives my favorite app I 279 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.919 do reckon there's some brilliant jokes and a couple of 280 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.519 the like four and three, and like, you know, I 281 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:40.679 consider one of the first brilliant jokes to be in 282 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.399 Flaming Mos or like you just lost yourself a customer? 283 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.200 Yeah yeah, like that, yeah yeah, And I always think 284 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.480 of that whenever someone's you know that, I know people 285 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.080 I'm a sucker for like comments sections like people. 286 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:55.159 Say, don't doom scroll man. 287 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.080 I know, but but I don't know why. I'm just 288 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.960 in there. And there's always that the negative peal, you know, 289 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.720 and the classic like who you know when it's like 290 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.919 it's like oh, And it's always that makes me think 291 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.919 of that because they're kicking ass and Barry from Bayswater 292 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.919 and say, because I got a bit of the trolls myself, 293 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:16.240 you know, and I always think of. 294 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.480 It like that, what's the usual troll comment for you? 295 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.679 Well, it's funny because like I said, I'm into sports. 296 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.039 I'm often comment on sports stuff. I reckon a lot 297 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.679 of the trolls. I must have said something about their 298 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.000 team or player and now they're just like, oh, they 299 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.679 just won't like people really love their teams and now 300 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:35.759 they're just giving me grief. 301 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.320 So when you go to a town, do you not 302 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.120 look up Okay, we're going to this town. Let's look 303 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.879 up their sports team, be pro their team or do 304 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:42.759 you just not care? 305 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.799 Not really? Yeah, I'll sometimes I like doing a reference 306 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.559 to like, you know, if I go to Adelaide or 307 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.120 remember when they won the premiership and go, let's party 308 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.840 like it's yeah, that's it. I did something about West 309 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:57.879 Coast when I was in fair like, let's party like 310 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.480 it's O six. You know, which can have a meaning 311 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.679 to it's a different party if you know what I mean, 312 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:09.200 cousins exactly. That's why I'm like, I'm not like huge 313 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.639 on references, but I like those sort of slip one 314 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.519 of those and yeah yeah, but. 315 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.399 I think otherwise you're like spinal tap saying hello Cleveland. 316 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.159 Yeah. Well, you know, like you try not to be 317 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.360 too cheesy with that kind of you know, there's that 318 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.320 classic like Simpsons predicted it, but it's true, there is. 319 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.879 There's almost a joke for every situation. 320 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:31.679 You know, especially been so many episodes. Yeah yeah, but 321 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:33.159 still it's the first ten that seemed to be the 322 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:34.879 one that the most did. 323 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.840 You ever have talking about that. Did you have like 324 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.360 a moment in your life where looking back it's a 325 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.440 little bit cringey, like so, you know, it's like a teenager, 326 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.360 I was a bit political, and I used to be like, 327 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.480 I reckon, I reckon. The Simpsons deal with political topics. 328 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.399 I get my news from this, you know. But I 329 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.960 genuinely thought, like, for example, like when you talk about 330 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:59.240 like homophobia, like they dealt with that quite quite my. 331 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:00.000 First one, unbelieve. 332 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.559 Yeah, yeah, because it made Homer the butt of the joke, 333 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:05.720 that is the joke. 334 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.799 Yeah, like, look how parent he's the bad guy? Yeah yeah, 335 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.480 But then we review the teen seasons and virtually every 336 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.879 episode has a homophobic joke in it, you know, everything 337 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:16.600 he did back and see. 338 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:20.039 Yeah, well, I want to get too, deeven the news 339 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.879 stuff that does meet right at the heart of how 340 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.720 I feel, and that it's a whole new set of 341 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.000 writers and stuff that that to me. I'm not saying 342 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.159 this is the correct point of view, but where they 343 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.080 they've lost the spirit of what it was when it. 344 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.080 Was almost pinpoint the second the show's heart ripped and 345 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.799 half you can watch it and go this is when 346 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.919 the Simpsons wasn't the show it once was, and Homer 347 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.000 became a jerk for no reason, yeah, and no repercussions 348 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:47.679 for being a jerk. 349 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:49.559 And well, I think the way we always talk about 350 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:51.879 it when we've talked about the episodes recently is like 351 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.120 when it first started, maybe for those first ten season, 352 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.879 you've got a bunch of people who want to write comedy, yeah, 353 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.519 and they've learned it from wherever. And then then following 354 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.840 off from that, you've got a bunch of people who 355 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:04.720 learned on comedy watching The Simpsons. 356 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.440 Yeah. So I was like, I think there's how you 357 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:09.000 do the Simpsons. 358 00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.200 The problem is that South Park and Family Guy came around. 359 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.200 That's what I was going to say. It was it 360 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.519 competing to be a bit edgy. 361 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.320 Yeah, it wasn't the cooking on the block anymore. South 362 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:18.840 Park completely took the reins from that. And then once 363 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.480 South Park the fad, the south Park died down, but 364 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.240 it was peak south Park for about the first two seasons. 365 00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:26.559 Then they sort of mellowed a bit. Then Family Guy 366 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.840 came around, and everyone just wanted to be that random, 367 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:32.200 obscure jokes like Family Guy, and you just see elements 368 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.759 of that seeping into the Simpsons, how do. 369 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:34.519 We stay relevant? 370 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.639 Like you could have just stayed in your lane and 371 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:39.159 cruise along. Very nice because a lot of people like 372 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:39.480 what you do. 373 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:41.480 That's because we do a south Park podcast as well. 374 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.039 And that's what I love watching these old episodes of 375 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.360 south Park is they could have very easily tweaked their 376 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.559 style to suit what people seem to want at the time. 377 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:49.399 They went, not fuck it, We're doing the show that 378 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.159 we want and it's all better for it. 379 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:52.480 Yeah. 380 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.919 The fact that Trey Parker and Matt stone A still 381 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.919 sort of driving the train, how many seasons into it 382 00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.679 or how many years into it, Yeah, it means the 383 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:00.600 show remains the same. 384 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.840 I'm the kind of person I don't want to be picky, 385 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.559 but I end up being. And it's like I don't 386 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.119 hate Soba, but I'll so this is my kind of 387 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.920 like critique picking. A part of it is that a 388 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.279 lot of the time, and there's nothing wrong with this, 389 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.920 is what I do is going to like find what 390 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.680 your your persona is and stick with it. But I 391 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.480 find it's often like, see, the kids are the only 392 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.880 ones who know what's going on and all the adults 393 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.039 are dumb, and which is a funny concept. 394 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:27.599 And it evolved that because it wasn't really live then 395 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.920 by the end were season seven now sound parking, you go, 396 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:31.960 I'm going, so the kids are the only smart ones 397 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.319 in the town. Yeahah, and Carton's still an idiot. But 398 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.079 it's always standing Kyle going, what are you guys doing? 399 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:37.319 You know? 400 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.039 Yeah, it's always funny to look at the very beginning 401 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:42.799
