The 31 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.079 beauty of it is it forces you to have that thing, 32 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.079 whereas you know if you had to go and get 33 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:29.959 it or buy you. 34 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:33.959 What you try and do is you try and talk 35 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.959 about things that you enjoy and that you want to 36 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.879 buy and go, Hey, I mentioned you on my show 37 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.560 or on my set, give me a free jumper. 38 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.480 I'm doing that with Red Rooster all the time. All 39 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.159 that I think they're. 40 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.959 You've got to many series. You've got the stands at 41 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:49.200 the footy fields or whatever it is. 42 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:49.959 Yes, that's right. 43 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.200 Currently you're eating foods from different countries. 44 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.480 Is a little bit of the joke is that they're 45 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.359 to have them all concurrently running. But the funny thing 46 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.879 about the grands same one. I never planned for it. 47 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.959 I was just generally just driving by and it caught 48 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.039 my attention, this tiny little grandstand. But as as we know, 49 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:10.479 on the internet, there is a bit of you know, 50 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.800 there's always people trolling, trying to bring you down a bit, 51 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.759 and I received a few people claimed it was like 52 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.199 an athletics where the starting gun person is Yeah, well 53 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.599 I don't think it was. But also I'm like, let 54 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:26.080 me have this. 55 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.719 How do you handle trolls. I've learned to just ignore 56 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:30.199 the comments. 57 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.400 I have gotten better. It did used to hit me 58 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.919 pretty hard back in the day because because they put 59 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.000 you to realize they just loser. Yeah, any trolls listening, 60 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:45.759 but yeah, that's because some of them too are quite 61 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.479 like thought out have they want to hit you hard 62 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.520 because like there's you know, they could just be oh, 63 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.400 you're ship that sucks, but they actually go kind of 64 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.120 like I'd get ones that like try to tell you 65 00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.719 I liked you previously, but I don't like it. You know, 66 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.520 oh you used to the direction And then that makes 67 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.960 you think, oh shit, I've lost a fan. But you 68 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.840 realize they were never going to be on board, you know, 69 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.520 or if they don't like you having a slightly different opinion. 70 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.120 Yeah. Do you feel like you have to evolve in 71 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.199 your comedian though, or is it best to sort of 72 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.800 find your niche and then to sort of stick out. 73 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.000 Well, that's something I get given a lot of grief 74 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.120 about when people are like, oh, the same old joke, 75 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:21.800 and I'm like. 76 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.520 That's my thing. 77 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.520 Well, some of the most successful queens in history are. 78 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.599 Like Seinfeld, mister Bean. 79 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.400 Yeah yeah, mister Bean's just like yeah, yeah, so I 80 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.639 love how my reference. I need update my reference. I'm 81 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.159 still like mister Bean most successful. 82 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.639 Isn't it funny how old we feel now? Because I'm 83 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.719 thirty seven, held are you forty one? Forty one? It's 84 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.120 pretty similar in age, but we say things like mister Bean. 85 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.240 Anyone under the age of like twenty five is like, 86 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:47.159 what are you talking about? 87 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.960 Yes, that's right, Well I remember, like because you had 88 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.599 the original just as it was, and then they were 89 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.159 like animated ones and they tried to really keep it going. 90 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.759 They hit the movie as well. Yeah yeah, Mike, iup 91 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.639 put Like my kids are seven and nearly six, so 92 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.840 nearly eight and nearly six, but they love this to 93 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.400 be Yes. Yeah, sometimes it's important to put the old classic. 94 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.039 I'll put the Simpsons on. I just started letting them 95 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.120 watch the Simpsons because I was gonna let them watch 96 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.639 the Simpsons a couple of years ago. I put it 97 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.599 on and it was itching scratched, cartoon came on and 98 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.439 I was like, this is pretty violent. Maybe I should 99 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.240 not have my five year old watching it, But now 100 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:20.399 I'm letting them watch it, and they love the old 101 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:21.079 school Simpsons. 102 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.199 Yes, and it is funny because because we know it 103 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.759 as how we know it, like all the things that 104 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.000 came with a channel ten six pm. You have to 105 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.639 watch the Simpsons, like going the phases, like radical bar 106 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.120 and that. But it is interesting to see how the 107 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.720 younger gen look at it because they're looking at it 108 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.759 now knowing that everything that came afterwards as well, the 109 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.240 south Park Family going. 110 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.720 Well, there is no south Park Family go without the Simpsons. 111 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.720 Yes, that's right, but they don't know it as that 112 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:50.480 we do. 113 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.319 Yeah, it's just see, the Simpsons was new when we 114 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.079 were growing up. It's just always been around for my kids. 115 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:57.720 But the thing is I put the new Simpsons on 116 00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.519 and they enjoy the new Simpsons, and that was how 117 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:04.399 I really that new Simpsons isn't necessarily bad. It's just different, 118 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.680 and Simpsons is made for a younger viewer essentially, and 119 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.360 my kids enjoy the news. I think it's looks crisper. 120 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:13.439 I think it looks better. But when I put the 121 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:14.959 old ones, and they still like the old ones. But 122 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.839 then I realized me putting an old school Simpsons episode 123 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.480 on is the equivalent of my mum putting on like 124 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.519 an old Flintstones episode. Yeah, thirty five years old. 125 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.439 Mate, And you know what's the beauty of our age 126 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.519 is we consumed We can always consume it twice the 127 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.920 original where we're just like this, this show is great, 128 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.120 and then a bit older when you as you dissect 129 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.920 it as we do, you know, like knowing what makes 130 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:39.600 good comedy writing and all that. 131 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.480 Yeah, I think there's three ways, actually Simpsons, because he 132 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.199 watches the kid, you enjoy it, and then you get 133 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.680 older and you start understanding more of the jokes. For me, 134 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.240 particularly since I've been a parent, all the parenting gags 135 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.680 and the married gags that have been married and becoming 136 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.560 a parent, I've watched the show through a hony lens 137 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.560 as well, Like that's when things like they do it 138 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.160 for her moment that just kills me. Now, it's like 139 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.120 it's one of the sweetest moments in history of television. 140 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.360 And when you're a kid, you go, oh, this is nice, 141 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.360 But when you're apparently you're like, oh my god, that's right. 142 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.120 Pick picking up on the smaller soleties. 143 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:08.680 Yeah. 144 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.360 You know, when you're a kid, you're just like it's 145 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.439 almost like like your palette for your eating. When you're 146 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.680 a kid, you want like chips and pizza. And then 147 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:21.720 you're like mature and you realize there's more sources than 148 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.360 just tomato and barbecue. You know, you're a kid, you're like, 149 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.120 get out of the way, Lisa home, a home, a barber. 150 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.279 And then you go a bit older like yeah. 151 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.160 Yeah, Margal just you love margin the older you get 152 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.120 r Yeah. Now we're here to talk about sporting episodes 153 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.800 of The Simpsons. Before we do that, though, a sporting 154 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.639 moment I want to discuss with you, which you've albaby 155 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.759 probably discussed a million times Steve Smith. 156 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:48.480 Oh, yes, between when I was here last, wasn't. 157 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.800 It And I remember seeing it was like Lena and 158 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.240 Acaprio pointing at the team like it's doxy. 159 00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.680 Because some people ask, you know, some people sort of 160 00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.879 summarize what I've done and say, oh, You've got all 161 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.720 the like viral moments, and because I'm living it, there 162 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.319 is like big gaps in between. There's four or five years. 163 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.079 But to some people it's like seems. 164 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:08.399 Like they're catching up. 165 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.879 Yeah, yeah, which for anyone, I guess you know, if 166 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.759 you're looking at a band or actor or like, oh, 167 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.839 you're just pumping out of it. But when you're living 168 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.439 it doesn't feel like that. But I do get asked 169 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.240 a lot about that. The major the majority of questions 170 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:27.160 is sort of like was it planned? Stage that was honestly, say, yeah, there. 171 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:28.360 Was, you look at you had no idea what was 172 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:28.720 going on? 173 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.920 Is there is no way you call it as well 174 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.199 like well maybe if you had a mate at the channel, 175 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.920 because it was for you, I don't know mate's there, 176 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.399 And even then, what would you say, mate? Can you 177 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:40.959 put me on? 178 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.000 Like and we're going to we're going to interrupt the 179 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:48.319 actions for GOOXI? Yeah, what was it? He just work around. 180 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:50.800 There's this thing I do because I love going to sports. 181 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.079 I got a lot of different sports, and majority of 182 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.639 them aren't like super popular events. 183 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:58.240 Like low key. 184 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.040 I'll go to like whatever, so you could often just 185 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.720 what I'll do is move around the stadium. I'll probably 186 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.680 get in trouble for it's not it's very funny. It's 187 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.279 funny your your card fore fingers talking about our low 188 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.199 level crimes. But it's a very low level crime. But 189 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.319 you know, sometimes you get what do they call the 190 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.759 people who check tickets, I guess ticket ticket. 191 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:20.439 Yeah, so every. 192 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.319 Now and then, like if someone's they're doing their job 193 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.360 to the letter of the law or whatever, they'll be like, 194 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.600 oh where do you sit? Check and tell you? But 195 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.920 but I just I like to get different views of 196 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.879 the stadium, you know whatever, So I'll do that often. 197 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.000 But obviously ashes was very popular. 198 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:36.720 Is that what happened? You've changed? 199 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.159 Yeah, so I was. I was moving around and the 200 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.919 gabble was almost full, like but always always these things 201 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.639 when they say sell out, there's always like a few 202 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.840 people don't cars. So there was a few empty. But 203 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:52.000 I was going to different spots around the stadium, and 204 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:53.720 you know, it goes all day, eight hours. I was 205 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.759 getting different views, so I literally had just gotten there, right. 206 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.000 And the other thing is to like, I know, it's 207 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.200 that classic thing where people are like drinking all day 208 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.320 the quick and like I'm actually not, despite what I 209 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.399 look like or whatever, I'm not a huge drinker. I 210 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.200 like a beer here in but someone had just so 211 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.639 I just arrived that era area and someone had just 212 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.200 said to me, like, can I buy your beer? Which 213 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:19.039 I get a little bit. 214 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:19.360 You know. 215 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:24.559 Again, I'm humble bray, Like I said, I get given shirts, beer, 216 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.159 everything except money. 217 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:27.200 We can get. 218 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.320 So someone had just said to me, can I get 219 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.759 your beer? And I was like, yeah, yeah, you know 220 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.519 that's lovely, thank you. So yeah, I just arrived that spot, 221 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.600 just get given a beer because people were kind of like, oh, 222 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.679 I bet this guy has been on it all day. 223 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.919 So that's the two things I can reveal. I was 224 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.679 not sitting there and I was not drinking all day. 225 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.720 But you know there is an element of and the 226 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.879 other thing to it as well, because Steve Smith got distracted. 227 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.399 But I was coppying a bit of grief because people 228 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.919 were like, why are you moving around? But the truth 229 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.639 is that it's like one hundred and aged he's straight 230 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.639 in front. You can't actually sit there. They have the 231 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.080 seats taken out on the side screen. So I wasn't 232 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:09.240 Actually I shouldn't have been. In his view, he has 233 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.919 like the average person has, like what do you call that? 234 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:12.840 Like television? 235 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.799 Yes, peripheral vision is very like his is, like yeah, 236 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.759 and he's been known to be distracted by like a 237 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.200 spider or an ant or something. 238 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.840 So you have you spoken to it at all. No, No, 239 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:26.360 he'd be on like the Cricket Australia some of the 240 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:26.960 cricket hats. 241 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.399 Yeah, he's very private. I've been asked that a bit. 242 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:31.600 They're like, oh, have you caught up with him? And like, nah, 243 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.240 but I don't know how i'd go about it because 244 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.960 like it's like, at least nothing bad came of it, 245 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.759 you know, it's not like he got out or anything. 246 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.480 And the other thing was there was imagine. 247 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.399 But everyone just took it because the channel and the 248 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.679 commentator said that's the guy. Like me, I'm the guy 249 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.960 that distracted him, which like I was like ninety percent short. 250 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.840 But I've had people with theories are like, oh it 251 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.080 was one of the English players Josh for Archer was No, 252 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:57.919 no one really knows. 253 00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:59.440 So you can get told at the time to move 254 00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:00.399 or no know. 255 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.440 So because like I said, it wasn't actually directly in front, Okay, 256 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.200 So I was getting grief from people saying like etiquette, 257 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:10.320 I shouldn't have been moving around, but everyone does. 258 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.480 Like maybe you're just you stood out the most of it. 259 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.080 Let's just pick this. 260 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.519 Yes, yeah, well that's the thing. After it. I was 261 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.399 getting like from trolls Pip making fun of my shirt 262 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:25.440 being too tight. Yeah. Well it was actually again in 263 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.919 this hole getting given things. But the cricket player Matt Short, 264 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.440 he played for Australia, he gave me a jersey. 265 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:32.360 That's yeah. 266 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.080 So I was like a little bit of like beggars 267 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.320 can't be too not that I was begging, but I 268 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.799 didn't want to be get given it. And hey, yeah 269 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.240 you got a triplex, So that was an element to that. 270 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.960 And then in terms of the dirtiness, so that's because 271 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.720 I do laboring work, so yeah, yeah, yeah, and then 272 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.480 there's I mean I blame the dirt probably a bit 273 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.240 of gravy some people, Yeah, exactly, there's a little bit 274 00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:58.039 mixed in there. 275 00:11:58.440 --> 00:11:59.200 But yeah. 276 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.919 So it was a very interesting experience and I got 277 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.480 the full sort of people talk about fifteen minutes of. 278 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.600 The social media boom. Yeah, follows the. 279 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.120 Next day I was doing like breakfast TV. Yeah, like 280 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.960 Today's Sunrise and all that, but very fleeting. It was 281 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:16.720 like yeah, because I'm like, how long is this going 282 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.879 to keep going? I found out it's it's literally fifteen minutes. Yeah, 283 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.320 I think on the Monday, I had like Geelong Radio 284 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:29.120 and that's that's pretty high yeah, I used to be 285 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.720 on Yeah yeah, yeah, no, well no, it sounds like 286 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:34.840 I'm being psarcastic, but you know I love all of it. 287 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.039 Yeah that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I had this theory right 288 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.799 with talking about cricket, you reckon, there's time the Simpsons 289 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:44.200 do a cricket episode. They've never done one. Yeah. I 290 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.840 think they're going to come back to Australia, yeah during something, 291 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.360 or do an episode in India, Like India is the 292 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.320 big cricket nation. You can get all the Indian cricketers on. 293 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.559 But I feel like, you know, getting Steve Smith, Pat 294 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.879 Comings all these guys on the episode would be awesome. 295 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:02.600 Yeah, because like apparently there's it's one of those things 296 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.360 that's it's a fact that it's hard to believe, but 297 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:08.039 apparently there was a really early game in America' cricket 298 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.679 but then baseball took off. So yeah, really it's like 299 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.480 America's very has a very unique like sports culture and 300 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:15.240 that yeah. 301 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.440 Are going to be a good chance to bring it 302 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.480 pooh back there we go. 303 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:18.960 Yeah. 304 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.279 Yeah, but let's do our top five Simpson's sporting It 305 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.720 doesn't have to be the whole episode. It's just a 306 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.120 Simpsons story of some kind sporting story. 307 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:26.559 Yeah. 308 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.919 Yeah, A couple of mine that I've picked are like 309 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.000 not the main story, but they are with it. 310 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.120 That's right. I was thinking about that because there's the 311 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.000 ones that stick out very clearly, and then that there 312 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:36.919 is as they do. 313 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.080 They say, like the plot b plots a bigger than 314 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.960 the apes. Yeah, yeah, I'll give you one number five. 315 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:44.879 So one number five is the Homer they four, which 316 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.039 is the boxing episode I'm wearing right now. 317 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.480 Could I just I should have asked you this before, 318 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.559 but so we can't double up, or if we double up, 319 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:53.960 it doesn't matter. 320 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.080 Yeah, ye, but if you try to do all ye 321 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.759 yea yeah, but if you've got that, just say I've 322 00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.159 got that at my. 323 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:02.519 After that's an awesome So yeah, stupidly forgot about. 324 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.480 Yeah, it's a good Homer Remo story. We had a 325 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.559 side of Mo we've seen usual Mo where he's going 326 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.080 to sell out Homer for money, but at the end 327 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.320 he obviously turns a corner and shows some compassion, becomes 328 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:12.679 the fly man, the fan man. 329 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.519 Yeah that's right. 330 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.000 Yeah, and it's a great parody of Mike Tyson and 331 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.120 Don King as well. Yeah, it's a shame they couldn't 332 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.679 get Mike Tyson to do it. But I don't think 333 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.200 Mike Tyson's that a point in his life where he's 334 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.399 willing to take this out of himself. Yeah, he's become 335 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:24.399 like comedy Mike Tyson. 336 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.000 Well, Drederick Tradum is meant to be. 337 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.759 The great parody of Mike Tyson, did it? 338 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.799 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and you get certain topics. I 339 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.399 know they used to talk about this in the commentaries 340 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.120 on the DVD, where it's just a mind field for them. 341 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.399 You know. I remember some of the writers talking about 342 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.840 whenever they have mister Burns old timey. 343 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:48.480 Yeah words, they just go to Bill and Josh Love Yeah. Yeah. 344 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.600 And so I'm thinking Boxing had all this, like, you know, 345 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.039 they could have junk Yard, the yard guy who I 346 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:56.679 love that, like, oh he's a hungry fighter. 347 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.840 He's actually fighting for his hobos and stuff. Yeah, there's 348 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:04.080 then fell in the corner before he keeps fighting. Yeah. 349 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.519 And then they played off of the whole John King stuff, 350 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.679 the dodginess of boxing. I love the like I was like, yeah, 351 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:15.279 you can't use that anymore, like, yeah, that was so good. 352 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:19.039 And so it was just a minefield of jokes and 353 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.159 getting stuff and then obviously, you know we talk about 354 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.639 there's nothing wrong with comedy having a staple to make 355 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:31.039 fun of, and then like Homer's like lack of fitness 356 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.360 and overweight and stupidity all rolled in there. 357 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:35.240 But he can take a punch. 358 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.879 Yeah, yeah, And you know there's like sometimes you talk 359 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.240 about with the stupid like how far is too far? 360 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:47.320 The same thing with the athletic and nepness, like you know, 361 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.840 punching and it didn't kill a fly. You know, it's 362 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.679 like how fun can you go? Yeah? 363 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.840 But I just think I love. One of my favorite 364 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.000 moments ever is him coming out to wipe out We 365 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:57.440 be Friends. 366 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.440 Actually did a boxing five myself. 367 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.639 Yeah, but it's actually a bit of a spot on 368 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:06.159 parody now. I don't know if it was meant to 369 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.399 be at the time, but celebrity boxing it's become a 370 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.759 thing now, Yeah, we're boxing as a sport has almost 371 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.000 became a parody of itself, where that's what this was. 372 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.720 Yeah, Well, so I had people asking me. I think 373 00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:18.679 I put it out and said what song show is 374 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.279 and a lot of people did suggest to why I 375 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.200 can't be friends, which is a very funny thing. But 376 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.440 I was trying not to like comedy on comedy comedy 377 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.639 like you know yeah yeah, which, what did you come 378 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:35.120 out to smash mouth walking on the sun? I was 379 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.600 I was like, do something like like thought out funny 380 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.639 Now I'll just go like nineties reference like most of 381 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:42.000 the time. 382 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.360 Yeah, but what so that was a legit fight? How 383 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.240 does that work. 384 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.440 In terms of we were trying to beat each other up? 385 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.639 Yes, so do you go in beforehand? They do you 386 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:53.200 sort of say let's not knock each other out? 387 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.759 Or no? No, there was no There was actually no contact. 388 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.519 It's funny because I've spoken to the guy in the afterwards, 389 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.920 but there was no but leading in, so there was 390 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.920 no discussion. I think why. I think we had one message, 391 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.359 like text message, but there was no talking around but 392 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.720 leading into it, talking about trolls and stuff online when 393 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.720 I was posting things in the months leading in, and 394 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.279 his fans are coming on in the comics section They're 395 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.880 going to die, and like, yeah, I know it's part 396 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.279 of boxing smack talk, but I didn't know how serious 397 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.400 to take it. I'm like, is this guy really good? 398 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.440 Is he going to for me?
