Speaker 2: the podcast where We're come and to America. Okay, so
Speaker 2: what was that from? Was that? That's the Neil Diamond song?
Speaker 2: That's the Neil Diamond song. Is that called they Come
Speaker 2: to America? Yeah? They're just called America the song? I guess,
Speaker 2: so yeah, I mean, is there an album he had
Speaker 2: called America No, it was hot all this night. That
Speaker 2: was his big one, wasn't it. Yeah, two complete different things.
Speaker 2: I was about to say it starts with an A.
Speaker 2: That's correct. Okay, Yeah, you made the connections very very tenuous,
Speaker 2: but you got there in the end. He's just he
Speaker 2: has built somewhat of a career around I'm not bashing
Speaker 2: Neil Diamond, right, I know maybe five of his songs,
Speaker 2: but everyone seems to love them. Oh yeah, and people
Speaker 2: who like Neil Diamond love Neil Diamond. Yeah very much.
Speaker 2: Again for a guy who's surprisingly sort of anonymous, he's
Speaker 2: a really really big star. Only was yeah, but you
Speaker 2: go back through the cattle. I was like, this guy's
Speaker 2: got an absolute bangers. Yeah, yeah, was a brother loves
Speaker 2: Traveling Salvation Show. Great song, not just Sweet Carolina, not
Speaker 2: just Sweet Caroline, Bah, don't don't even do it, but here,
Speaker 2: but talking about coming to Homerica an episode that you
Speaker 2: didn't like. I just rewatched it before we started recording here,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna be honest, I actually really enjoyed it
Speaker 2: because I thought, for the most part, it had a
Speaker 2: genuine and thoughtful story and message that it wanted to
Speaker 2: get across. It did so in a very un Simpson,
Speaker 2: unmodern Simpson, I want to say, modern Simpsons. Season twenty
Speaker 2: Simpsons episode way where there wasn't many racist gags or
Speaker 2: anything like that, or homophobic gags. It was more a
Speaker 2: case of we're trying to push equality and push you know, unity,
Speaker 2: unity in that in community and whatnot. And I thought
Speaker 2: there was plenty of last long the way, I thought
Speaker 2: they did a very solid job. Well, just like they
Speaker 2: put the spring in Springfield, was they put the unity
Speaker 2: in community. You're right, Yes, you're misrepresenting me little. I
Speaker 2: didn't hate it. I just thought it was there. I
Speaker 2: just thought it was there, that's right. It was just fine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which is fine. Of course you're gonna have a bunch
Speaker 2: of episodes like that where a bunch of stuff just happens.
Speaker 1: But this is the finale of season twenty, so we've
Speaker 1: got to the end of season twenty. Guys, we made it.
Speaker 2: We made it all the way. What episode number is this,
Speaker 2: look at us. It's episode twenty one of season twenty.
Speaker 1: I know that of the overall series hoevny episodes of
Speaker 1: reviewed now on this show in chronological order. I gonna
Speaker 1: get a list of episodes. You continue speaking, well, patting
Speaker 1: this out.
Speaker 2: Wife, Yeah, well, I'll just dray out one of my
Speaker 2: famous lines. It was my understanding there will be no math.
Speaker 2: Do you want sar math? Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well season twenty my life avoiding it season twenty.
Speaker 1: So that would mean that this episode the finale was
Speaker 1: episode four hundred and forty one of the Simpsons.
Speaker 2: Moll.
Speaker 1: That means there are four hundred and forty one reviews
Speaker 1: that there feed listen to, plus a bunch of other

Speaker 2: That's well done, all.
Speaker 1: Right, but yeah, coming to Home America. Your first thoughts
Speaker 1: of it were it was just kind of there, But look,
Speaker 1: what was it about it that didn't make you sort
Speaker 1: of didn't take you away?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, Journey. First of all, I was
Speaker 2: just astonished by you know that Crystal Ball the Simpsons
Speaker 2: seems to how yeah, how it just predicts the future
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 1: When I built this fence, I was like, Holy Christmas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's just like something that's going to happen
Speaker 2: in the future, or stuff that's maybe happened in the past,
Speaker 2: or stuff that happens in the world. It's not necessarily yeah,
Speaker 2: we know what's going to happen years down line. It's
Speaker 2: just like people do this. People build walls, people build fences,
Speaker 2: people try to separate the other from themselves.
Speaker 1: I think more because it was to keep the immigrants out.
Speaker 1: That's where so people got this episode again seventeen sixteen
Speaker 1: whenever it was yeah, around at that time when Donald
Speaker 1: Trump says We're going to build a wall, make them
Speaker 1: build it, make them pay for it, that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: And it's pretty much exactly to a t what this
Speaker 1: episode is. Yeah, this is actually kind of scary how
Speaker 1: this isn't predicting the future, but it's just kind of scary.
Speaker 2: How on the nose it was well on the money. Actually,
Speaker 2: this is not so much the Simpsons sort of being
Speaker 2: able to predict the future as Donald Trump just having
Speaker 2: no original thoughts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly a Simpsons fan.
Speaker 2: Well, and that too. Yeah, maybe this was maybe the war.
Speaker 1: Wasn't him being you know, an as divisive and trying
Speaker 1: to seclude people from America. Maybe it was just him
Speaker 1: paying tribute to the Simpsons.
Speaker 2: It's just him giving a shout out. Yeah, maybe maybe.
Speaker 1: That's his way of really trolling him and going, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm a big fan of season twenty at
Speaker 1: the Simpsons, screw your golden era.
Speaker 2: I may like golden toilets, and I may like golden
Speaker 2: in the White House, but I do not like golden
Speaker 2: ear a Simpsons. Maybe his first idea was a dome.
Speaker 2: They went, don't play their hits. Yeah, keep that one
Speaker 2: up your sleep for when you really need. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 2: the framework of this episode, I guess the whole building
Speaker 2: a wall, the whole xenophobic thing xylophone. That's correct, not
Speaker 2: necessarily one hundred percent played out. I think the core
Speaker 2: message of it, though, is like, hey, guess what, there's
Speaker 2: more we have more in common than we have dividing us.
Speaker 1: How about you just talk to each other about you
Speaker 1: just talk to it, which is what happens.
Speaker 2: At the end.
Speaker 1: You know, they're not using them for work or anything
Speaker 1: like that, or they were using them for work because
Speaker 1: they building the wall, but they're just killing time doing
Speaker 1: some work and just chat, oh, we actually like the
Speaker 1: same thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, and being quite blatant about it by having
Speaker 2: the flann to say, hey, we're not so different you
Speaker 2: and I. Now admittedly that line to quote doctor Eevil
Speaker 2: has become such a cliche that, you know, using it
Speaker 2: becomes a bit sort of tongue in cheek, But at
Speaker 2: the same time it's like, okay, thanks for showing us
Speaker 2: your hand there episode of The Simpsons, we get the points.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you need to dumb it down for the younger
Speaker 1: viewers though, And I think this one is a good
Speaker 1: example of an episode that you show kids and say
Speaker 1: that this is what I think this kind of episode
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was the funniest episode of anything
Speaker 1: like that, but I think this is the kind of
Speaker 1: episode that really separates your family guys, and even your
Speaker 1: futur Rummers to an extent, and your Simpsons right and
Speaker 1: your South Parks as well, because this one here is
Speaker 1: something that is good for the whole family. Yes, but
Speaker 1: at the end of it, kids are being taught something
Speaker 1: without probably realizing to being taught something.
Speaker 2: By virtue of having a positive message.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just within the show. It's not them pushing it.
Speaker 1: I mean, they are kind of pushing it and explaining
Speaker 1: it for the younger viewer. But I think I can
Speaker 1: put this down and the thing that Holly and Elliott
Speaker 1: will take away from it is, oh, we should always
Speaker 1: just sort of just include people and just realize that
Speaker 1: we're all together in this. Do you think crazy Think
Speaker 1: called the World?
Speaker 2: Do you think that the viewers of Holly and Elliott's
Speaker 2: age are going to be sort of sitting still for
Speaker 2: this episode though? I Mean, it's got some but and
Speaker 2: Lisa aspects to it, but essentially it's about the adult
Speaker 2: community of Springfield. Are they that into.
Speaker 1: That there's something about animation that kids just hooked on.
Speaker 1: I think the way the fact that the Simpsons yellow
Speaker 1: look I put gold in your episodes of The Simpsons
Speaker 1: on and there's no way Holly in Elliot are really
Speaker 1: following along what's going on.
Speaker 2: I was the same.
Speaker 1: I remember being a kid watching The Simpsons and going,
Speaker 1: I don't quite know what's happening here, but it's cartoon
Speaker 1: and it.
Speaker 2: Just looks funny. Colors, sound, funny sounds, and yeah, the
Speaker 2: occasional joke that you're going to get, and if you're
Speaker 2: watching it with an adult in the room, jokes that
Speaker 2: they get, and you know, kids are generally going to
Speaker 2: be one of like, oh a grown up things that funny.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it should be funny. I'm thinking it should
Speaker 2: be funny as well. Let's find out why.
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes Ali, I'll notice when we're watching things like
Speaker 1: The Simpsons. We started watching The Fresh Prince of Ballet
Speaker 1: because I showed them the Carlton Dance and things like that.
Speaker 1: So started watching Fresh Prints and he's doing some stuff
Speaker 1: and he sort of looks to me as if to say,
Speaker 1: that was funny, right, He's laughing like that that was funny. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And he watches me if I laugh. He laughs as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I think he's just trying to feel like a
Speaker 1: grown up a little bit. Yeah, but I think they
Speaker 1: would enjoy this episode. I think there was enough happening
Speaker 1: in this that it was funny enough visual gags. There
Speaker 1: was visual gags the kids to enjoy, visual gags for
Speaker 1: adults to enjoy. There was quite a lot happening.
Speaker 2: Yet that's the thing. I mean, I guess I'm going
Speaker 2: to have to take off my adult hat for a
Speaker 2: little while and sort of maybe try to view this
Speaker 2: as a younger view would as a child would, because yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean there's some stuff in this I'm like, really,
Speaker 2: And then I think a kid would probably enjoy this. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll give me an example of that. Can you remember, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the tumbleweed going past with Ralph. Yeah, and then Ralph
Speaker 2: sort of going past as a Tumblewe that would slay
Speaker 2: with kids, Okay, well not with me. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I've just got to be more open hearted.
Speaker 1: I think that's what The Simpsons is that it's called.
Speaker 1: Though it's a small gas board of comedy, it appeals
Speaker 1: to kids of all ages. Not every jokes we talked
Speaker 1: about Airplane on the movie Guy with Malton and Davis.
Speaker 1: How there are so many gags, and not every GAG's
Speaker 1: gonna work for you, but it's gonna.
Speaker 2: Work for somebody. Correct. Yes, that's a classic example of
Speaker 2: that well put, well put.
Speaker 1: Yes, But so overall, the story of this episode is
Speaker 1: that Krusty has announced new burger, a healthy burger made
Speaker 1: of balley. It's tainted. All the barley from Springfield is
Speaker 1: imported from Oldenville, and because it was tainted, all the
Speaker 1: meals get shut down. Oldenville are out of work, They've
Speaker 1: got no nowhere to go. The town's just deserted. They
Speaker 1: all moved to Springfield, and because they're good with their hands,
Speaker 1: they can build stuff. They take all the jobs that
Speaker 1: we don't want to do, which I think is the
Speaker 1: ultimate line from this episode, Right, they're taking out jobs.
Speaker 1: It's like the jobs that you weren't doing.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's very interesting that our sort of upcoming recording
Speaker 2: schedule yeah includes Yeah, we're going to do an episode
Speaker 2: of going down to South Park and is the episode
Speaker 2: titled Gobags, which is essentially not the same thing Unified
Speaker 2: four fingered discount. It's a real thing. You think we'd
Speaker 2: lie to you about this? We wouldn't, but that's the thing.
Speaker 2: So the story is that they come to Springfield and
Speaker 2: the Springfieldians employ the Oldenvillians to who are all Norwegian
Speaker 2: based because Norwegian immigrants came there based the whole town
Speaker 2: one hundred years ago. They are good at building the
Speaker 2: houses blah blah blah. But then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: they start realizing that they don't want them around anymore
Speaker 2: because they're taking over the town. The sense.
Speaker 1: They go to their bar, and I think this is
Speaker 1: the thing. All the things that they bring in are
Speaker 1: actually good.
Speaker 2: Most like no, they pay with cash, they're clean, and
Speaker 2: all their history is like the enchanting and interesting, and
Speaker 2: their mythology is rich and enchanting. Yeah, they's nothing but pleasant.
Speaker 1: But the hospital is a four, which means that margins
Speaker 1: can't get but it can't be seen at the hospital,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So people are being annoyed because
Speaker 1: there's too many people in Springfield now, so they build
Speaker 1: a wall to keep them out.
Speaker 2: But was always the case, right, I mean, yes, we're
Speaker 2: fine with immigration, we're fine with people coming to us,
Speaker 2: but oh, we love your culture, you know, we love
Speaker 2: your work ethic all that kind of stuff. Oh wait,
Speaker 2: a minute. Now, you're a dreined on our resources. Oh,
Speaker 2: your culture is overtaking ours, maybe by virtual of the
Speaker 2: fact that it's probably more rigid and chanting than ours. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that that's a lesson that it's always the case,
Speaker 2: that's not always the case. Not black and white.
Speaker 1: This is not you can't just you can't just go, oh,
Speaker 1: we should just always let immigrants and that's not.
Speaker 2: How the world works. Oh, absolutely not. This is something
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about. Yeah, I mean, because yeah,
Speaker 2: it's very easy to be open hearted and say, yeah,
Speaker 2: what's the thing on the on the bottom of the
Speaker 2: statuere liberty, give us your poor, you're tired, you're hungry. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean we all want to be generous. We all
Speaker 2: want to open our homes and our hearts. Not necessarily
Speaker 2: our homes, but yeah, open our borders to people. It's like,
Speaker 2: what's the lines like you don't leave home unless home
Speaker 2: wants to kill you. As a line that you hear about,
Speaker 2: you know, when people are coming from more torn countries
Speaker 2: or something like that. You want to do the right
Speaker 2: thing if you're a person with a functioning soul. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But at the same time, yeah, you do have to
Speaker 2: be you do have to set some manneries and you
Speaker 2: do have to set some limits. There in lies the conflict,
Speaker 2: doesn't it There and lies the tension.
Speaker 1: I was going to say that they maybe should have
Speaker 1: acknowledged more how it's not just black and white. They
Speaker 1: should have been allowed in, but maybe situations like the
Speaker 1: hospitals being full was their way of way of doing.
Speaker 1: This can be a detriment as well. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: child here who needs to be seen, but he can't
Speaker 1: becuse there's too many people in the emergency room.
Speaker 2: They did shoot themselves in the foot a little bit
Speaker 2: by making the ogdenvillions what is known as quote unquote
Speaker 2: Minnesota nice. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a plus.
Speaker 1: Also, they're all in hospital from being injured by working
Speaker 1: for the Springfield in the Yeah, so there's.
Speaker 2: A bit going on under the hood here. Yeah, they've
Speaker 2: got some ideas.
Speaker 1: But I thought, overall though, they handled it very well,
Speaker 1: because an episode that could have been very racist. She said,
Speaker 1: compared this to the was it mypods and boomsticks were home.
Speaker 1: I thought everybody was a terrorist. That was so different
Speaker 1: from this. This one was handled much more elegantly and
Speaker 1: much more carefully. And I think they did it good.
Speaker 1: It was clever to not use Afghanistan's Well.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, are they, you know, sort
Speaker 2: of not sitting. Are they giving themselves an escape patch
Speaker 2: by making the quote unquote immigrants the whitest of the whites.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Yes, that's that's But also is that
Speaker 1: their way of I say, tricking with quotation marks a
Speaker 1: viewer who might be obliged to go let them lock
Speaker 1: them out right, And because they're all white, the whites,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, they're not so bad. And all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they start taking over and they go, oh,
Speaker 1: I see what you did there.
Speaker 2: Oh I thought you were giving him a nice spoonful
Speaker 2: of peanut butter. There's medicine in there. What the hell?
Speaker 1: But it got a Disneyland, So maybe that was their
Speaker 1: choice to do so so they can go, hey, it's
Speaker 1: not just what you define as an immigrant. Immigrants are
Speaker 1: all kinds. It's not just black or white. Wow what
Speaker 1: I did there? He went there, don't go there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. Yeah, and I'm glad that we didn't
Speaker 1: get a Lisa haih in her mighty subplot here as well.
Speaker 1: She she chimed him by saying, you guys were all
Speaker 1: immigrants once. Oh yeah, that was it. Yeah, there wasn't
Speaker 1: her grandstanding anything. It was just her acknowledging you do
Speaker 1: realize that we're all immigrants.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which is a line that's yea frequently trotted
Speaker 2: out but is not untrue.
Speaker 1: My favorite will be your favorite moments from the episode.
Speaker 2: I love this exchange at the very start where Krusty's
Speaker 2: talking about his burgers and how everything's exceeding. I really liked,
Speaker 2: insanely like the whole opening bit. Yeah, but the whole
Speaker 2: what worse than the double Krsty burger somehow? Yes, a
Speaker 2: good line out of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I just liked the whole Waka Green
Speaker 1: Rapper on it charged double and look, it's so accurate.
Speaker 2: It's very true. We'll get into that when we get
Speaker 2: to review. But what else did you like? As someone
Speaker 2: who is notoriously not hansy though well, I'm very handsy.
Speaker 2: Home is lying about having a bad history of going
Speaker 2: up on roofs and any other hospitals I can relate.
Speaker 2: So I thought that was the last time you got
Speaker 2: on a roof. I think I've been up on the
Speaker 2: Lovely Louise's roof to help out. That would have been
Speaker 2: a year or so ago.
Speaker 1: We used to get on the roof to watch the
Speaker 1: fireworks in the years eve when I was younger.
Speaker 2: Roofs are fun when you're a kid, but when you're
Speaker 2: old dangerous.
Speaker 1: I've got a story. So we've got three cats now
Speaker 1: obviously you or this if you listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1: And one of them wasn't back and it was night time,
Speaker 1: and usually they're back in by it by night, right,
Speaker 1: And they went outside and shook the cat food and
Speaker 1: I could just hear them just.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, where is she? Where she trapped?
Speaker 1: What's going on? And I couldn't see anything. It was dark, right,
Speaker 1: So I get my phone out, torch, go on my phone,
Speaker 1: shine up and I see the two eyes and it's
Speaker 1: on a roof, not next door, but the house behind
Speaker 1: next door over there. So she's gotten on the roof,
Speaker 1: this little cocoa kitten, and she can't get down. So
Speaker 1: they're not home. Next door's not home. So I jumped
Speaker 1: next doors fence, jump into the back out the other
Speaker 1: one because I know they've got no I'm going just
Speaker 1: jump off the.
Speaker 2: Rooftop of theroof.
Speaker 1: She wouldn't get off the roof. There's dogs on either
Speaker 1: side of that house. So she went up on the fence.
Speaker 1: And how she got up there in the first place,
Speaker 1: I'm not too sure, right, So she's meam meam mew.
Speaker 1: Then I see so a vision. I'm looking from the
Speaker 1: back of the house. A new set of eyes pick
Speaker 1: over from the side of the house over sort of
Speaker 1: the sort of goes up and down sort of to
Speaker 1: the corner. So over the bit of the roof, over
Speaker 1: the groove, there's two eyes. It's a dirty big tom cat.
Speaker 1: So she's like trapped on the roof of this dirty
Speaker 1: big tom cat and it's just like looking at her,
Speaker 1: and it ran away when it saw me. But I
Speaker 1: had to. Then I went around to the side of
Speaker 1: this person's house. Got to had milk rates there, so
Speaker 1: I stacked up three milk crates. It was like an acrobatics.
Speaker 2: It's like on.
Speaker 1: Grass, so it's not steady. And then I'm standing on these.
Speaker 1: He's got my phone torch in one hand. Coco gets
Speaker 1: near the end. I grab her by the scruff, holding
Speaker 1: her in one hand. Then Nicola yells that but I
Speaker 1: start shaking. I thought I'm down that I'm done for.
Speaker 1: I keep my balance, get the cat, throw her over
Speaker 1: the fence. She's fine, get back down. And because I
Speaker 1: got back in a half and a plf to try
Speaker 1: and help Nickel because she'd left just water on the
Speaker 1: stove or something, orders i'd run back home. I forgot
Speaker 1: to put the crates back. So these guys are going
Speaker 1: to get home and there's just three crates strategically stacked
Speaker 1: up next to their roof. What do you think they're
Speaker 1: going to think when they get home?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Well, what do you think they thought when they got home?
Speaker 1: One word poltergeist.
Speaker 2: So they're going to get home and go Why are
Speaker 2: our milk creaks from the side of the house now
Speaker 2: at the back of the house and stacked up next
Speaker 2: to the house. You'd be You'd be, oh, you think
Speaker 2: that the joint was being cased. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So now if I came home that had happened, I
Speaker 1: would think, Oh, I'd be locking on the doors, getting
Speaker 1: extra security, gets the cameras. So I forgot to tell them.
Speaker 1: So it's now been three days. Do I just not
Speaker 1: say anything?
Speaker 2: Now? Is it too long? Is it too long to go? Hey?
Speaker 2: By the way, that was me because I feel like,
Speaker 2: now they've gone the extra mile and ordered extra security.
Speaker 2: How was your relationship with these neighbors. We don't know.
Speaker 2: They've never met them in my life. No, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. I don't know them. So now I
Speaker 2: feel like now, because if they were any okay, we've
Speaker 2: got the benefit of ignorance at this day, so I
Speaker 2: would just let it lie. I think I'm just going
Speaker 2: to let it lie because I think if they're a
Speaker 2: sensible person, they've ordered security cameras. Now they have already
Speaker 2: got them, right, And I think if they've got security cameras,
Speaker 2: they would have already got the footage because we have
Speaker 2: like a state community Facebook group and I always post
Speaker 2: videos in there. If they had security cameras, I'd already
Speaker 2: be in there. And this thing, the name of that
Speaker 2: neighbor was actually Dave Pretzel's mcnow, longtime listener of the show,
Speaker 2: now knows what happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, you need me year it. Speaking of
Speaker 1: new names, and congratulations again Jared for winning the new names.
Speaker 1: But other people can enter the world card draw if
Speaker 1: they get it.
Speaker 2: That is correct.
Speaker 1: Were trying to get that three points so we can
Speaker 1: become Philip Ja again for next season.
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to give him because Jay, we've got
Speaker 2: three points of stime with Okay, well we'll see what happened.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that when we get to them that
Speaker 1: we get to that. But we've got more favorite, I'll
Speaker 1: say one more. We're getting some trivia. I really liked
Speaker 1: the visual gag. This is probably one of my favorite
Speaker 1: gags visual gags of The Simpsons in quite some time.
Speaker 1: The closed sign store. All the store, everything's closed down,
Speaker 1: but the sign that sells closed signs is open and
Speaker 1: just selling out.
Speaker 2: I was like, that's a funny gag. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: I don't want more. This felt like old school Homer.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of bad Homer in this. I mean
Speaker 2: and not and not just I don't mean jerk out something,
Speaker 2: just lazy gags. It's like home is a dummy, Let's
Speaker 2: have him say this dumb thing.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of moments where he sort of said
Speaker 1: something out loud and I was like, this scene just
Speaker 1: didn't need that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think one of those is like where's my
Speaker 2: Nobel price? Like what's the point? There's no that adds nothing,
Speaker 2: But this I liked when they go on the double
Speaker 2: date and I know what you're gonna say. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like talk about taking jobs. Three wild men don't
Speaker 2: want that feels like old school home. It didn't in
Speaker 2: terms of like yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, but it
Speaker 2: was not even like acknowledge it's not it was a
Speaker 2: drive by. It's a it's a pretty it's a decent gage.
Speaker 2: It is. Yeah, but and it's also the kind of
Speaker 2: gag that Homer would think is just like champagne comedy.
Speaker 2: And also, you know, we're all just blokes here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh love that. Yeah. So I thought that was really
Speaker 2: really good and just oh it's like you still know
Speaker 2: how to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The most episode was written by Brendan Hay and it's
Speaker 1: the only episode of The Simpsons he ever wrote.
Speaker 2: That's correct. I did a little deep diving. I did
Speaker 2: a little shallow dive. There's not a whole lot there,
Speaker 2: but it's a knee high diving. I did a bit
Speaker 2: of waiting and found that Britain Hay he's he's done
Speaker 2: a bit of work in comic books, on TV shows,
Speaker 2: things like that. He also co wrote a book called
Speaker 2: Is It Just Me? Or Is Everything Shit? Based on
Speaker 2: this episode, it's just you no, no, no, sorry, that's
Speaker 2: a low hanging through that gag. He didn't completely watch
Speaker 2: this episode, but he did have some one or two
Speaker 2: gigs and then they didn't.
Speaker 1: Sound like your spirit animal though? Is it just me
Speaker 1: as everything?
Speaker 2: Shit?
Speaker 1: It sounds like the book of your life these days?
Speaker 1: Well a little bit you come in your really shit.
Speaker 2: I like to think I phrased a little more elegantly.
Speaker 2: Having said that, I'm maybe not the only person that
Speaker 2: feels this way, given that we have patrons who are saying, hey, guy, Dando,
Speaker 2: you're ever going to do that? Shit's fact, mate, Shore. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which we might do. What do a test pilots see
Speaker 2: what the will numbers are like? Yeah.
Speaker 1: He also directed the which I haven't seen yet, the
Speaker 1: Gremlins animated prequel series. I'd never want to watch it.
Speaker 1: It's been a for years now.
Speaker 2: Yes, and artists. What's it called? Is it called Legend
Speaker 2: of the Mogwires?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just Gremlins. To me a
Speaker 1: puppets man, They gotta puppets of it can't be animated.
Speaker 1: I call me old fashion. But he also Dawn of
Speaker 1: the CRUs and other DreamWorks work. So you know this
Speaker 1: guy's he's a worker. Yeah, he is a worker. Indeed, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what Star Wars Detours? He's the writer of the unreleased
Speaker 1: animated Star Wars comedy star Wars Detours an unreleased comedy.
Speaker 2: Okay, what does it mean? Has just been made? It
Speaker 2: hasn't been released yet? Or is it so bad that
Speaker 2: it can never be released? Star Wars Detours?
Speaker 1: Do you want a little bit of a liftime? Do
Speaker 1: mean to wait around and show you? What it says?
Speaker 1: Is an unaired American animated comedy series is differentiated from
Speaker 1: the other Star Wars animated series and that it is
Speaker 1: a parody of the franchise. It offers a comedic take
Speaker 1: on what happened between the prequel trilogy one, two, and
Speaker 1: three and the original trilogy. The series was produced by
Speaker 1: Lucasfilm in collaboration with Robot Chicken creator Seth Green and
Speaker 1: Matthews Cenric Cenric sounds about right, mat and Although thirty
Speaker 1: nine episodes of the show were produced, their release has
Speaker 1: been on hold since twenty thirteen following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm.
Speaker 2: When so they're out there, someone, there's thirty one episodes
Speaker 2: of the show that we have not seen for ten years.
Speaker 1: Footage of the series debut at Star Wars celebration in
Speaker 1: mid twenty twelve. It was planned to be set between
Speaker 1: the events of the trilogy, as I said. In March
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, Lucas Film postponed the release of the series
Speaker 1: after reconsidering whether a comedy series would be a sensible
Speaker 1: way to introduce the franchise to new fans. When a
Speaker 1: sequel trilogy was being produced by Disney. That September, Seth
Speaker 1: Green said, thirt nine episodes have been completed, with sixty
Speaker 1: two additional scripts finished, and it's just never been released.
Speaker 1: I knew that the Robot Chicken, the latest update beyond
Speaker 1: it were. At twenty twenty five Star Wars Celebration Japan,
Speaker 1: a Lucasfilm Animation retrospective poster was released, featuring a storm
Speaker 1: Trooper from the series among the studio's wild array of projects.
Speaker 1: Collider cided that sided this as the first official acknowledgment
Speaker 1: of the series in over a decade.
Speaker 2: Wow, sort of out there, Disney, So it's there somewhere.
Speaker 2: Let the people decide. I feel like now is the
Speaker 2: right time to release something like this. Why do you
Speaker 2: think because people are sick of the Star Wars original
Speaker 2: series on Disney. Plus you know, I know you're a
Speaker 2: big fan of and Or, but many people aren't excited
Speaker 2: for Star Wars anymore. I think this will be one
Speaker 2: way of it feels like this has been held backed
Speaker 2: by Disney because this wasn't our, so you're not going
Speaker 2: to see it. I feel if Disney released this in
Speaker 2: my bit of good faith with the hardcore Star Wars fans.
Speaker 2: Quite possibly, a Star Wars series parroting the series sounds fun. Interesting,
Speaker 2: the star Trek, what was? What does Star Wars have
Speaker 2: coming up?
Speaker 1: Are they working on a new trilogy? I don't think
Speaker 1: that the own will is the Mandalorian movie.
Speaker 2: I guess the only other one that I know about
Speaker 2: is Star Wars Colin star Fighter starring Ryan.
Speaker 1: Gosling, Wayne Gosling. No way, yeah, all right, So upcoming
Speaker 1: Star Wars projects everal new Star Wars movies are in
Speaker 1: development and up been coming. The next film slated for
Speaker 1: releases The Mandalorian and Grogoo The Worst Name of All
Speaker 1: Time set the premiere twenty twenty six, following that Star
Speaker 1: Wars Star Fighter twenty twenty seven. Several other projects are
Speaker 1: also in the works, including a movie centered around Ray
Speaker 1: Skywalker and a trilogy by Simon Kimberg, according to Space
Speaker 1: dot Com. Okay, anyway, but back to coming to America.

Speaker 1: their party bags?
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Don't put whistles in your party bags or anything that
Speaker 1: makes a loud noise in the party bag, because then
Speaker 1: all that happens on the way home is noises in
Speaker 1: the backs there of the car. Don't put whistles in
Speaker 1: party bags. People, don't do it?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, terrible a fun idea in concept, But there
Speaker 1: are many things that seem fun in concept, but when
Speaker 1: you actually execute them terrible decision. Whistles and things that
Speaker 1: make loud sounds in party bags are one of them.
Speaker 1: I wholly agree with you. I know I sound old
Speaker 1: right now, but you are.
Speaker 2: Old right now. I am old right now. Okay, My
Speaker 2: next question to you, the Barley farmer being interviewed by
Speaker 2: Ken Brockman. What is his wife's name? Ah?
Speaker 1: Men, this literally I was going to go back and
Speaker 1: get the notes for it, and I didn't. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say Helen.
Speaker 2: And you'd be wrong. It's Dagney, Dagony.
Speaker 1: Okay, they all had funny names, didn't They must just
Speaker 1: say different different.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, I.
Speaker 1: Learned nothing from us, right, terrible of me. So my
Speaker 1: next question for you is what was the show that
Speaker 1: the family were watching before they saw the commercial for
Speaker 1: the new Krusty Burger the It.
Speaker 2: Was the Drowningest Catch. Yeah, you know, it seemed to
Speaker 2: be correct, that is right. What is the name of
Speaker 2: the king who's on the Norwegian coins or the Ogden
Speaker 2: billion coins?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they say, I can't remember. It is Harold the Fifth,
Speaker 1: Harold the Fifth.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: My final question for you will be how many of
Speaker 1: the Mother Nature burgers did Homer actually eat?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It doesn't, Yeah, it doesn't. Indeed, yes, apparently everybody
Speaker 2: had one. Yeah. I initially thought, oh, Homer is sick
Speaker 2: because he ate too much of this stuff, and you know,
Speaker 2: it's barley, It's going to go right through it. So
Speaker 2: this was a bit a little bit of an interesting swerve.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, okay, I didn't know where the episode
Speaker 2: was going.
Speaker 1: This actually fell like a classic opening act, didn't it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I quite enjoyed the start of this episode.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the episode overall. But yeah, that is all
Speaker 1: my trivia. Do you have any more questions for me?
Speaker 1: One last quarter?
Speaker 2: Then do it? Okay? Then the kid who offers art
Speaker 2: the primer paint at the end, Yeah, at the end,
Speaker 2: he's wearing a sports jersey's got a number on it.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that number? Sixteen? You're awfully closed eighteen? Yeah, indeed,
Speaker 2: this is what this is what gets you in trouble.
Speaker 2: You keep thinking, Hey, eighteen turns out to be sixteen.
Speaker 2: Oh jail beat hey entry into Speaking of the Hill
Speaker 2: and those shows will make a lot more sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've just relaunched Speaking of the Hill on our
Speaker 1: Patreon if you like King of the Hill since the
Speaker 1: show's just been rebooted. We're currently in the midst of
Speaker 1: season two. We just reviewed the episode Hank's Dirty Long
Speaker 1: Hanks Dirty Laundry, where he mistakenly gets confused for someone
Speaker 1: who would hire a pornographic pornographic pornographic film. It's not
Speaker 1: a film and not a word that sounds like something
Speaker 1: the residence of Ogdenville would say.
Speaker 2: That's that's, that's what AI has had. AI spars pornographic, pornographic. No,

Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. The top three films at the

Speaker 1: Men Oranges, Wolverine Boo in number two Star Trek pretty good,
Speaker 1: and in number one Angels and Demons Never Seen It.
Speaker 1: It's the same three films as last week. It is
Speaker 1: the sequel to the Vinci Code. It is not that great.
Speaker 1: Let's go back and see what we what is the
Speaker 1: next the seasons obviously finished. Now let's see what was
Speaker 1: number one going forward after this? So okay, so next

Speaker 1: of the Fall Fallen was number one for a while.
Speaker 1: As I say, Age Down of the Dinosaurs. Harry Potter,
Speaker 1: The Half Blood Prince g Force, Funny.
Speaker 2: People was number one for one week.
Speaker 1: G I Joe The Rise of Cobra was number one.
Speaker 1: District nine good movie, solid inglorious basses number one. The
Speaker 1: final destination I can do bad all by myself, clad
Speaker 1: with a chance of meat balls. And that's where the
Speaker 1: Simpsons Season twenty one kicks offs of. I'll keep that
Speaker 1: one to myself. But yeah, some good movies in there,
Speaker 1: but not in the level of when we just did
Speaker 1: Hanks thirty Launde. What was that was like Titanic? A
Speaker 1: few good Will Hunting was in there, Will Hunting, the
Speaker 1: Wedding Singer, and then as good as it guess what
Speaker 1: a line?
Speaker 2: Take me back? All right?
Speaker 1: So, as we said, The original edit was March May seventeenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. Production code La b F one two,
Speaker 1: written by Brendan Hay, directed by Stephen Dean Moore. Chopball,
Speaker 1: gig It's Facebook Not Ass Book now there's a new
Speaker 1: thing here. So there's chip ll gag, catch gag. They're
Speaker 1: the usual two correct, but modern day Simpsons. When I
Speaker 1: say modern day will sleep, there's now the billboard gag
Speaker 1: in the instruments and I've written it down and this
Speaker 1: one here I should have done it for the other
Speaker 1: ones as well, but for this one here it is
Speaker 1: spied a pig of the musical music by you two
Speaker 1: and Alf Clawson.
Speaker 2: That's rest in peace, Alf rip elf. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the catch gag was the one from How the
Speaker 1: Test was one, which is probably one of my favorite
Speaker 1: catch gags in a while where they go to all
Speaker 1: the various sitcoms.
Speaker 2: It's a good one. They've used it about five times.
Speaker 2: Five times, have they really? Yeah? Okay, yeah, well I
Speaker 2: mean not prior to this, but five times in total. Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, if you need to pad time out and fill
Speaker 1: time because you can't be bothered writing something, this is
Speaker 1: the one to use.
Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah. Indeed.
Speaker 1: The episode kicks off at Krusty Loo Studios and Krusty
Speaker 1: uses playing chess with Teeny. He falls right into his trap,
Speaker 1: just like he did in Africa. Then his agent, who's
Speaker 1: appeared a few times now, his agent, and he says,
Speaker 1: your home pregnancy tests are giving false He hayes of
Speaker 1: the twenty percent of them, it was to say, hey,
Speaker 1: are you and it's not mine? He says, don't worry
Speaker 1: about this. Krusty is a illegitimate businessman. Repackage them, mark
Speaker 1: them as coffee stirs, and sell them in the Philippines.
Speaker 2: Genius. Now another rasue studies show your Krusty burger is
Speaker 2: the unhealthiest fast food item in the world, worse than
Speaker 2: a double Krusty Burger somehow. Yes, okay, here's what we do.
Speaker 2: What's that food we never put in any of our meals. Vegetables? Yeah,
Speaker 2: those guys find the cheapest one and make a burger
Speaker 2: out of it, then throw it in a green wrapper
Speaker 2: and double the price and say it's gotten. None of
Speaker 2: those those unhealthy sounding.
Speaker 3: Things trans fats.
Speaker 2: That's it. While you're in there, spray a little nicotine
Speaker 2: juice on the kid's meals. Get them looked.
Speaker 1: The idea of healthy food I've mentioned this in the
Speaker 1: podcast before at fast food restaurants just seems so redundant
Speaker 1: to me. So, yeah, if you go into a fast
Speaker 1: food restaurant, you're going for fast food you're going for
Speaker 1: empty calories, like, don't try and fool yourself into thinking
Speaker 1: you're doing good bye yourself. Just if you're gonna eat healthy,
Speaker 1: go to the middle, roll onder macas, get some maccas,
Speaker 1: get some mc nuggies with some mustard and whatnot.
Speaker 2: You know, some honey mustard?
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that your nugget? Dip of sauce?
Speaker 2: It is?
Speaker 1: Who has it with sauce? I mean a happy meal tomatoes,
Speaker 1: smato sauce, not bad. It's got to be the honey mustard.
Speaker 2: It mat. I'm gonna throw one of the Lovely Louisa's
Speaker 2: kids under the bus, but they will.
Speaker 1: Oca make sure they stay there. Throw them right under.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, exactly. I cat dirt on the bury them
Speaker 2: under there occasually. Oh need a snack, okay, put some
Speaker 2: nuggets in the air. Fryer gonna have a be the
Speaker 2: sauce and is having ketchup play on tomato sauce. But
Speaker 2: I can't condone this. I won't sanction this buffoonery.
Speaker 1: You haven't lived until you've tried aoli as well as
Speaker 1: good Yeah, oh yeah, Honestly, my life was never the
Speaker 1: same after I tried Ali. I was I have to
Speaker 1: do everything in this now. Okay, but it's so bad
Speaker 1: for you, but it's so good.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. If you're getting like a sizeable amount
Speaker 2: of nuggets from KFC or from McDonald's or what or wherever,
Speaker 2: and you're offered the option of more than one sauce,
Speaker 2: are you just getting double the honey mustard or are
Speaker 2: you getting a bit of variety.
Speaker 1: I'm getting whatever form of aoli they have and a mustard.
Speaker 2: Okay, I will get honey mustard and sweet and sour.
Speaker 1: You have never been a sweet and sour man. Too sweet,
Speaker 1: too sour.
Speaker 2: I can't fault that, arg I can't fault your line
Speaker 2: of thinking there. But that's what I'll get. And I
Speaker 2: think the two well kind of com They're different enough,
Speaker 2: are they? Okay?
Speaker 1: Yes, When I get a steak, I get garlic sauce
Speaker 1: and mushroom sauce, and I'm mix them together. We always
Speaker 1: do it at the Park of Steakhouse. Don't just get
Speaker 1: the one, go to get the two and mix them together.
Speaker 1: It makes the ultimate sauce for your steak. So you say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I dip the nugget with two sources at the same time.
Speaker 2: I never have had. Maybe you should try that next time.
Speaker 2: Maybe I should.
Speaker 1: I dipped one end in one one and the other
Speaker 1: and then just put it all in your mouth and
Speaker 1: his gat what is his taste?
Speaker 2: Like? Honey? I broke my rule to myself the other
Speaker 2: day because it's Friday night. What's your rule? Oh? I
Speaker 2: was exhausted. It was Friday night. Was like I said,
Speaker 2: the lovely Louise like, I'm just staying and I can't
Speaker 2: be ours cooking. I'm just gonna go get some fish
Speaker 2: and chips. My fish and chip shopping around the corner.
Speaker 2: Was it closed? Really? The one I ever? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: Chippy apparently like English chipies with their homemade they cut
Speaker 1: them and come and makes them at the back. That's awesome, Adam.
Speaker 1: Yeah we got to try them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good place. Shout out to Nick and Pete. Nick
Speaker 2: and Pete shout out. They were either extremely busy, because
Speaker 2: I think it was a I think cats were playing
Speaker 2: at home on on Friday night, watching it on the
Speaker 2: Telly Essendon game yours Friday, yep, yep, So they may
Speaker 2: have just been flat out busy. Maybe also a possibility,
Speaker 2: And I'm like, do I want to go to the
Speaker 2: I went to Dano's pizza joint that he recommends that
Speaker 2: it's not far from my place. It's not bad either,
Speaker 2: Razaria Romania Romania. Yes, indeed, like I'm not the move
Speaker 2: for beizs and like, oh forget, I'll just get mackets.
Speaker 2: I'd a had Macas in a while, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to steer away from that. But they had
Speaker 2: the new burger, the Big Arch. I believe it was
Speaker 2: called I'm like, this is a big Mac. I saw
Speaker 2: picture of them. It was like a big Mac with
Speaker 2: different sources or something like that. A big Mac. It's
Speaker 2: a big Mac with a clock in it, essentially. But
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, I'll give this a will. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was so disappointing.
Speaker 1: It was very disapoint I hate it when you're excited
Speaker 1: for something new and it's bad.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Macas is letting the side down recently. So
Speaker 2: and yeah, I was not exactly paying fast food prices
Speaker 2: for you know, if I'm walking over this amount of money,
Speaker 2: I'd like a pretty good burger. This was not a
Speaker 2: bit of a shame. But anyway, what was your rule
Speaker 2: that you're broth though you going to macts, you go
Speaker 2: to make it a little time now. No, No, I
Speaker 2: haven't been for a while, A good long while.
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago you're like, oh, I've got machas
Speaker 1: because you just want to macs.
Speaker 2: I think that was a couple of months ago. It
Speaker 2: just blows into one week, it sure, But anyway, the
Speaker 2: point is McDonald's like Krusty Berger. These days, it pretty
Speaker 2: much is. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time I had McDonald's and
Speaker 1: actually enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: I just it's just a watt of money to me.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. I did not enjoy. This didn't even
Speaker 2: hit me in the reptile brain where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is the stuff I used to enjoy when I
Speaker 2: was a child who had no taste. It's like this
Speaker 2: is just this cardboard. Yeah, it literally just tastes like cardboard. Yeah, yep. Good. Anyway, anyway,
Speaker 2: we've lost that sponsor. HEYKFC, though I don't care, come through.
Speaker 2: I love it, well, you love it. I don't changed
Speaker 2: the slogan. Who ever decided that absolute idiot? Well, but
Speaker 2: now it's sure to get inspired.
Speaker 1: How about that dead Air debt and I'm like no no.
Speaker 2: From Australian hip hop out Generous Genesis, Oh us, I
Speaker 2: don't care. It's a local act. I don't don't care.
Speaker 2: You don't love it.
Speaker 1: I know I do not love it. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I love it was the greatest campaign they've ever done,
Speaker 1: better than Finger Looking Good, and they blew it away.
Speaker 1: Maybe they had to, maybe they had to pay Hi.
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think it's better than finger
Speaker 2: Looking Good. That has just entered the vernacular.
Speaker 1: See finger Looking Good is a slogan. This was an ad,
Speaker 1: so they're kind of too.
Speaker 2: It was a jingle, but it's not not necessarily jingle
Speaker 2: because it was pre it was I'm gonna throw it out.
Speaker 1: It is the best use of a commercial song in
Speaker 1: an ad sense, wouldn't it be nice?
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you. You say that.
Speaker 1: That song comes on and people go, it's the KFC song,
Speaker 1: Like it's now known as the KFC song.
Speaker 2: It's a it was you live and breathe KFC, though I.
Speaker 1: Don't live and breathe it you do. But if I'm
Speaker 1: going to get takeaway, it's going to be KFC because
Speaker 1: you know why, I've got it in my notes. They
Speaker 1: don't shy away from the fact that they're giant food.
Speaker 1: They don't have a healthy optunity. They have twisters, which
Speaker 1: is at a rap, but they don't.
Speaker 2: Go out and say have a healthy opertence, like do
Speaker 2: you want your ship in a burger or do you
Speaker 2: want it in a wrap? It's like it's still junk food.
Speaker 2: Mac is trying and go this is for you. Would
Speaker 2: you like that?
Speaker 1: Would you like your childhood have apple slices and water
Speaker 1: with a happy meal?
Speaker 2: Well? Do I want to be fucking happy? How about
Speaker 2: how about I just go to where if they walk
Speaker 2: in the door, there's a whole basket of apple free
Speaker 2: lu Lulu, he's gone some apple. I'm not paying eight
Speaker 2: dollars for apple slide a bag of apple slide. This
Speaker 2: is fuck off.
Speaker 1: Go away with your healthy options. I get that it's
Speaker 1: all perception, but I think people by this point and
Speaker 1: are going I know what I'm getting. If I'm going
Speaker 1: to take away restaurant, just give me takeaway. Don't try
Speaker 1: and pretend you're healthy. I know there's some people say,
Speaker 1: but the parents, what about the parents they're buying? Well,
Speaker 1: you're buy your kids jung food, you should probably just
Speaker 1: fucking eat it as well. Well, yeah, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: shove that certain example, if you're gonna shovel that ship
Speaker 1: into your kids mouths? Why did you put it in
Speaker 1: your own mouth? Lead by shit fucked mate mate. But
Speaker 1: so it's the unhealthiest burger by trans fats YadA went
Speaker 1: at home and the FAUNI mere watching the drowning catch.
Speaker 1: It was worth it to be on TV. Make sure
Speaker 1: you put out dying screams in the promo. And this
Speaker 1: is where Homer says one of those stupid lines. He goes, yes,
Speaker 1: the real drowningest catches man, what on earth was that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Indeed, I must say something here. Indeed, I mean
Speaker 2: there's that old saying. You know, it's like the the
Speaker 2: most dangerous game is man, all that kind of thing,
Speaker 2: or you know, the real monster is us? All that shit.
Speaker 2: So maybe he's just like, oh, he's trying to sound profound.
Speaker 1: But he could have just said something like drama queen,
Speaker 1: just something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Look that's better.
Speaker 1: Mindsaying there would be me trying to be insightful never
Speaker 1: works on this. What he says is actually stupid.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and he's and also he's putting on his
Speaker 2: kind of voices. Yes.
Speaker 1: So then they see the commercial for the Mother Nature
Speaker 1: burger and people care about health they for some reason. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's it has made one hundred percent from wheat fed balley.
Speaker 1: Tastes like a healthier future. Ama says, we're going to
Speaker 1: Krusty Burger.
Speaker 2: I do like the way that ad was constructed. By
Speaker 2: the way, with you, you've got the obvious stunt double
Speaker 2: actually taking a bite out of the burger, when you've
Speaker 2: got Krusty holding the burger that's had a bite dagging
Speaker 2: out of it, cut with a knife, clearly, so loved
Speaker 2: all that. Yes, little little little detail, little details like that. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll take back some of the shit I talk fred
Speaker 2: about our man Brendan Hay.
Speaker 1: This next one here, this next bit was really it
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. So a Poo's there and he's thankful it's
Speaker 1: finally a burger for.
Speaker 2: Hindi, Hindi Indi. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now no one can tell that he's whether he's American
Speaker 1: or not, or tell that he's not an American. And
Speaker 1: he does a Bollywood style dance for some reason outside
Speaker 1: the restaurant.
Speaker 2: And what was the point of this. Yeah, with the
Speaker 2: insightful cultural criticism you've come to except from guy Davis, hmmm,
Speaker 2: not too sure about the poo dance.
Speaker 1: I thought he was vegan, not vegetarian. Isn't he vegan?
Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever copted being vegan because I
Speaker 2: never anything that's come from an animal, and at least
Speaker 2: like you just think I'm a monster. Oh of course
Speaker 2: hear that, isn't he vegan? I always thought vegetarian, but
Speaker 2: I could be wrong because vegetarian doesn't eat meat. It's
Speaker 2: nothing that comes from an animal. That's eggs, no cheese,
Speaker 2: none of that. Yeah yeah, none of the good stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeahs. Anyway, anyway, stupid scene, Yeah yeah. Then it has
Speaker 1: Homer taking a big buy it, saying he's saving the earth.
Speaker 1: He wears my noble price, which is stupid, but it.
Speaker 2: Is funny though.
Speaker 1: When the plant hungery Jack's do him like plant based Berger.
Speaker 1: I think Maci's dom as well. Now people think that
Speaker 1: they're healthier because they're based, they're not.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, she has probably been deep fried. God
Speaker 2: knows how many saturated fats or whatever it's got in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good at all. Because my dad had one.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, meet a couple of these ones because
Speaker 1: they're better for it. And I'm like, Dad, no, there's
Speaker 1: actually more more fat in isn't a whopper, it's actually
Speaker 1: bad for you. So now we're at home home. He's
Speaker 1: got the stomach ache. He asked himself, why did you
Speaker 1: eat twelve? He goes to use all the different various
Speaker 1: bathrooms and toilets, but they're all being used to everybody
Speaker 1: else because everyone else tried them as well. Because we
Speaker 1: should have explained a trusty burger. It's businesses booming. Everyone's
Speaker 1: excited to try this new burger, all right, which is
Speaker 1: it's usually the case when a new thing comes to
Speaker 1: talk about the Golden Narch Burger like it's something new.
Speaker 1: It's got a new hat, so I have to try
Speaker 1: it out. But then he throws up into Lisa's sacks,
Speaker 1: gets his face stuck on the outside, and that's the
Speaker 1: end of that chapter. Were now at the school and
Speaker 1: Skinner and Charmers are also un while they do an
Speaker 1: announcement saying that the Presidential ab Crunch Challenge and the
Speaker 1: Sloppy Joeathon are canceled.
Speaker 2: At the Sloppy Joathon, I'll I'll be all up in
Speaker 2: that business.
Speaker 1: Oh Sloppy Joseph is so good, And I didn't know
Speaker 1: what a sloppy Joe was until I watch Billy Madison.
Speaker 1: My mum used to cook spaghetti all the time. But
Speaker 1: then when I watched Billy Madison, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you can put that shit on a bred roll, snappy
Speaker 1: do oh oh shit, let's.
Speaker 2: Just change the game.
Speaker 1: And then this is where Charmers says to Skinner if
Speaker 1: I die, I want you in charge of rehiring the
Speaker 1: rehiring committee for my position. He just hold my head
Speaker 1: and say soothing things, and he does by saying third
Speaker 1: grade math scores are holding steady. This show is brought

Speaker 2: ago by Norwegian immigrants, and he speaks to one of
Speaker 2: the people who own I guess at the own the mill,
Speaker 2: the barley mill, brend Left Jensen. Indeed, this is probably
Speaker 2: an opportune time to mention that the first broadcast of
Speaker 2: this particular episode coincided with Norwegian Constitution Day, basically their
Speaker 2: showy Day, their fourth of July. Pretty much. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: Norwegian Constitution was signed in eighteen fourteen. It made Norway
Speaker 2: independent and it is celebrated by parades and people eating
Speaker 2: hot dogs, waffles and ice cream. Norway sounds fucking dope,
Speaker 2: it does, doesn't Yeah, waffles, ice cream and what hot dogs? Yeah,
Speaker 2: hot dogs, waffles and ice cream. That's just delightful.

Speaker 1: down the streets? Nah, fuck the kids, fuck Garla parade.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I was over the over at Lose the
Speaker 2: the night looking for something to watch and we were
Speaker 2: sort of like, put a couple of movies on the
Speaker 2: memory stick. Let's have a look at the trailers. There's
Speaker 2: other thing came up on the homepage, on the YouTube homepage,
Speaker 2: it was like you may have seen this. It's a
Speaker 2: city on the grow. That's basically it. Yeah, from nineteen sixties,
Speaker 2: from nineteen sixty six, I've seen this as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which Lou and I it literally was a city on
Speaker 2: the grow. Oh yeah. But Lou and I like we're
Speaker 2: ten years from here where those kids at the end
Speaker 2: of the school yard. So I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this is But it really was Geelong city on the grow.
Speaker 2: It didn't have narration or anything like that.
Speaker 1: But it's just people working in factories and kids out
Speaker 1: the front smiling and playing hopscoatch.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, nostalgia is the most you know, toxic
Speaker 2: of bruise. But at the same time, how we make
Speaker 2: our money, we got to go back incorporate some of it.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, oh god, we don't regress. But oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean we're saying, oh yeah, look, this wife is
Speaker 2: probably getting beaten or something like that. All these kids
Speaker 2: are probably getting you know, smacked the most inconsequential of
Speaker 2: reasons or anything like that.
Speaker 1: While just talking to because patients, Saint Darren and Doug,
Speaker 1: they've gone to America. They've left today to fight America
Speaker 1: for the first time in twenty five years. So hope
Speaker 1: you're having a good time over there you listening to
Speaker 1: I hope your social media feeds are squeaky clean. Yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: did tell me about that. But we're talking about theme parks,
Speaker 1: and he was saying, because he's a big theme park guy,
Speaker 1: how it's almost like theme parks are starting to realize, Oh,
Speaker 1: people just want rides. I don't want to have to
Speaker 1: wear glasses anymore, because there's a whole era of like
Speaker 1: ten us ten to fifteen years, you mean like virtual Yeah,
Speaker 1: rather than build roller coasters, it's hey, sit in front
Speaker 1: of the screen and put glasses on and you'll have
Speaker 1: a great time. That suck, And it's like, I understand
Speaker 1: it's cheaper and it's less maintenance, but you know what,
Speaker 1: people want fun And it's mentioned a bit of nostalgia.
Speaker 1: Universal Studios they got rid of the Back to the Future, right,
Speaker 1: which granded was a virtual reality one, but they got
Speaker 1: rid of the Jaws ride and all these other rides,
Speaker 1: and now they're selling this stuff saying, remember Jaws the anniversary,
Speaker 1: Remember we had a ride, and everyone's like yeah, you
Speaker 1: fucking got rid of it.
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed we are for the time being at least
Speaker 2: still being is made of flesh and blood. You know,
Speaker 2: we exist in the physical, tangible world. We want to
Speaker 2: actually move fast, go up and down. That'd be fantastic.
Speaker 2: So build it out of the fucking roller coaster. Put
Speaker 2: me in a room on a couch the rocks while
Speaker 2: I'm wearing three D glasses. Fuck you. I want to
Speaker 2: be taken on an adventure. Correct.
Speaker 1: And they try to get it to the ET ride
Speaker 1: and apparently there's not picket line fans and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you want to keep this.
Speaker 2: No one's like, yes, yes, we do. It's a fucking
Speaker 2: good ride. It's not a roller coaster, you know, it's
Speaker 2: a family friendly ride. It's fucking et Just leave it alone.
Speaker 2: Stop trying to fix things like you can incorporate new rides,
Speaker 2: but don't try. And just fucking enough with the virtual
Speaker 2: reality rides. How do we get to talk about the
Speaker 2: nostalgia because of the house. We got rid of the Jaws, right,
Speaker 2: we got And now this is the thing. They've just
Speaker 2: launched the Universal Movie Parade and guess what's in the parade?
Speaker 2: Et Jaws back to the future all the shit you
Speaker 2: got rid of. You know, don't don't overdose, don't get
Speaker 2: high on your own supply. But you know things were
Speaker 2: better back then. They were.
Speaker 3: The food poisoning has been traced to a single ingredient,
Speaker 3: tainted barley. And where does that barley come from? Our
Speaker 3: neighbor to the southeast, Ogdenville, the state's barley basket since
Speaker 3: it was settled one hundred years ago by Norwegian immigrants.
Speaker 3: I'm here with barley farmer brendlf Jensen, Brendliff.
Speaker 2: What happened is a big old rat got caught up
Speaker 2: in the grinders there.
Speaker 3: Saw my wife Dagne took a hose to it, and
Speaker 3: it's all cleaned out now. So you're guaranteeing it's safe
Speaker 3: to eat Ogdenville barley once more. Well, where there's barley,
Speaker 3: there's rat. You know, Now, when will you be starting
Speaker 3: the interview that just went out live?
Speaker 2: Well, then we're screwed.
Speaker 1: Cuts of the meal all closed down the next day,
Speaker 1: museums all shut down, everything shut down. I wanted to
Speaker 1: acknowledge the use of color so far in this episode,
Speaker 1: So where now unweldy or pale yellow? It's very Monotone
Speaker 1: is a color CPS. Yeah, it's very early Wizard of Oz,
Speaker 1: that kind of tone. And everything's closed down except for
Speaker 1: the close sign store, which I thought you liked it
Speaker 1: very fun gag. The families are all moving out like
Speaker 1: the Beverly Hill Billies with Granny on top and also
Speaker 1: a bit grapes of wrath.
Speaker 2: You yeah, yeah, we're yeah, the great John Steinbeck book
Speaker 2: about the Great Depression and the Dustball and all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Ye, and it's all deserted now. Then they enter Springfield,
Speaker 1: where there's a two drink minimum and Homers in the
Speaker 1: car park or Builders Barn aka Bunnings aka Hammer Barn
Speaker 1: for all those Blue fans out there. I experienced by
Speaker 1: the way. I've never felt stupider.
Speaker 2: Actually I do.
Speaker 1: I feel stupid a quite often, but I felt so embarrassed.
Speaker 1: You've seen jingle all the way correct. I have nd
Speaker 1: Swarzegg running around trying to find it.
Speaker 2: Turbo man, that is the plot.
Speaker 1: Bunnings have just announced, well they've had him for a while,
Speaker 1: but they've re released them. Bluey gnomes Okay, bluey gnomes
Speaker 1: are a thing in Bluey. They're iconic for Blue fans
Speaker 1: and they've released actual genuine garden names that look the same,
Speaker 1: so of course we get the Bunnings and Alliotts. He's
Speaker 1: his blue carriage is gonna find around the store. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'll get you one of those gnomes,
Speaker 1: so I'll walk up to let Vergi. I can't find them.
Speaker 1: I said, where are the gnomes the blue names located?
Speaker 1: The two girls started laughing at me, genuinely just laughing
Speaker 1: at me, and I was like, what they said that
Speaker 1: the first ten minutes and then get and put on
Speaker 1: the shlve. You actually thought we're gonna gonna get one.
Speaker 2: I was like yeah.
Speaker 1: She's like yeah, unless you line up like five am,
Speaker 1: he ain't getting a bluey. They sell like twentyred bucks
Speaker 1: on eBay.
Speaker 2: I'm like a blue Garden gnome, so I'm Swartznegger and
Speaker 2: jingle all the way, Toby Man. They just they looked
Speaker 2: at each other and just laugh and I was like, oh, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm that guy. The thing of it is then Dano
Speaker 2: actually called me to commiserate. I was not impressed. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I said, well, here's the thing, Dando, your wife's
Speaker 2: cookies out of this world. You brought it back to
Speaker 2: the Simpsons. Yeah as we as we like to say
Speaker 2: on this show, Rip Vilarten.
Speaker 1: We miss you greatly. Yes, anyway, so no builders. Barn
Speaker 1: Barck questions, Homer, are you sure you're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to install these roof gutters? I wouldn't know where to begin,
Speaker 1: And he says since he has a bad history of
Speaker 1: going on roofs and waking up in hospitals. He gets
Speaker 1: the olden Villians who offer to help him. He says,
Speaker 1: your facial hair scream is rugged but reliab or so
Speaker 1: like my own. Yeah, so he hires them. They call
Speaker 1: him sir, so that means he knows that I'm better
Speaker 1: than him, which is an ignorant line, but you know,
Speaker 1: poking fun at people who actually think that way.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was wondering would I have enjoyed this more
Speaker 2: if it was in like a quote unquote classic Simpsons,
Speaker 2: Probably yeah, or the case have I just spent too
Speaker 2: much time with jackass Homer. It's like I had it
Speaker 2: when he says things like that when in the olden days,
Speaker 2: I would have like, oh, yeah, that's the kind of
Speaker 2: ignorant thing that he would say.
Speaker 1: But see in the Golden near Home he called me
Speaker 1: so yeah, he's He's like, I can't believe it. He
Speaker 1: actually think he deserves to me called sir, just likes
Speaker 1: the idea of being called sir. But then he offers
Speaker 1: them a lemon version of Balley aid. They all enjoy it.
Speaker 1: When in Springfield and Hammer says he's glad they've all
Speaker 1: come to take all the jobs that they don't want
Speaker 1: to do, which, as I said, that's the line that
Speaker 1: sums up this episode.
Speaker 2: Indeed. Yeah, there's a lot of shout outs to the
Speaker 2: film Witness in here by the way, Yeah, when you
Speaker 2: go do you know this one with? Have you seen this?
Speaker 2: Would I like it? You would? Indeed? Yet you know
Speaker 2: what kind of movie I like? Oh right, this is
Speaker 2: a good This is a really good movie, Witness.
Speaker 1: I'm going to look it up. Why you tell me
Speaker 1: a little bit about it without spoiling the film of course.
Speaker 2: Okay, starring Harrison Ford, directed by austrais On, Peter Wiir
Speaker 2: mayber Well, Yeah, yeah, Harrison Ford is a cop. He
Speaker 2: is protecting a young Armish boy who witnesses a murder
Speaker 2: during his visit to the big city. Harrison Ford goes
Speaker 2: back to the Amish community in rural Pennsylvania, he's pursued
Speaker 2: by the corrupt cops. He also finds love with the
Speaker 2: child's mother, played by young Kelly McGillis. Because you teach
Speaker 2: their jibs, well, I know, but he does their gibs.
Speaker 2: Because Harrison Ford, before he became an actor, was a
Speaker 2: carpenter and also apparently a weed dealer.
Speaker 1: So it was Tim Allan apparently, well he was a
Speaker 1: coat deal coat dealer, yes, next level. Yeah, he's like, hey, Harrison,
Speaker 1: friend of Barrison, you can get better than the.
Speaker 2: Witness. Fantastic movie, but there's a lot of barn raising
Speaker 2: and a lot of sort of.
Speaker 1: Tis no Pool but yeah, Witness, Okay, I will check
Speaker 1: that out. So this is the kind of things again
Speaker 1: we've mentioned how no one unless've seen the film will
Speaker 1: probably have any idea that's a reference of something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you're a fan of Witness, that's that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not being really overt with it, but okay,
Speaker 2: it's if you know, you know, if you know you know,
Speaker 2: all right then yeah.
Speaker 1: So, as I said, they're at Homa's house. Now they've
Speaker 1: tried the lemonade. They're really enjoying. Homer says, you know,
Speaker 1: you never have too much of a good thing. You know,
Speaker 1: you're taking you're doing all the jobs that we don't
Speaker 1: want to do. Pan up to everyone entering from Ogdenville
Speaker 1: over the border.
Speaker 2: And you too, and even the sign of Ogdenville or yeah,
Speaker 2: the words on the map.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the map looks like it's a what would you
Speaker 1: call it a crop not a crop circle, but it
Speaker 1: looks like it's just been put out of stones or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's actually people and they've all crossed the border. So
Speaker 1: the Springfield is full of ogden Villions and they're all
Speaker 1: fixing Springfield, fixing Kirk glasses, walking old people like their dogs,
Speaker 1: giving the bush a haircut, things like that. And there's
Speaker 1: where Inger, Inger, Inger, whatever you want to say.
Speaker 2: Inger.
Speaker 1: She is getting a tour of the Simpsons kitchen. March says,
Speaker 1: you know, did you have kitchens back in olle Yes,
Speaker 1: before the dark days when we lost everything? And Marge says, well,
Speaker 1: that's good. Lest you know you are around a blender.
Speaker 1: So he even Marge doesn't really sympathize with she's really
Speaker 1: hardship that they've gone through. So it's just acknowledging that, oh,
Speaker 1: you want them around to help do your ship, but
Speaker 1: you don't want actually knowledge that the human beings the
Speaker 1: human beings and have come from a shitty situation. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: Margin shows ye, shows her around the kitchen. Then she
Speaker 1: gives it a rundown. She says, Grandpa is inside, the
Speaker 1: dog has to be out. The dogs inside, Grandpa has
Speaker 1: to be out. For whatever reason. Flanders, our neighbor drops
Speaker 1: by unexpectedly sometimes Hello doesn't stay for very long. Then
Speaker 1: she explains to Bart and Lisa and Maggie that she
Speaker 1: will be the new nanny, and Bart straight away says
Speaker 1: Mom says, I can ask him for breakfast and then
Speaker 1: and then it pans out and he goes, oh, wait,
Speaker 1: she's still here, And I'm like, that's because she just
Speaker 1: introduced you to her. The gag works from a visual
Speaker 1: perspective because you can't see Marge and it pans, oh,
Speaker 1: you're still here. It's like, but Marge just said, here's
Speaker 1: your new nanny, like she hasn't gone anywhere. The gag
Speaker 1: doesn't really work that level. Again, Devil's advocate if I'm
Speaker 1: going to do that, but is so we're not taken
Speaker 1: with the idea of like, here's someone I can pull
Speaker 1: a swifty on, Oh I can get ice cream for
Speaker 1: breakfast and he just is ADHD. Brain sort of instantly
Speaker 1: switches to that through It's like, oh, mom, silly, It's
Speaker 1: like I'm giving him escape patch, I'm giving you an out.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Lisa says she'll eat anything that she puts in front
Speaker 1: of her or before that, though, March is no because
Speaker 1: he asked marched and you can't have any was an
Speaker 1: ice cream for breakfast, but you can't have chop chip
Speaker 1: pancakes and syrup. This is totally something that happens in
Speaker 1: his household. Saturday morning. Holy now, Nicholas still be in bed.
Speaker 1: I'll be up with the kids and I'll go, can
Speaker 1: I have a lolly? And I'm like, whatever, just fucking
Speaker 1: a lolli, Nicolas. And then they'll tell Nicol later She's like,
Speaker 1: why is only knock nine thirty? And I was like,
Speaker 1: but it's okay for them have fruit lips?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Have you seen when these kids have for breakfast?
Speaker 2: Go get Bob some fruit lits? Okay, lollies. No.
Speaker 1: Lisa then says, as I said, She'll eat whatever. And
Speaker 1: Maggie now has nanny like the ones that Joe Piscopo
Speaker 1: and Eat the Hawk.
Speaker 2: Left their wives for did eat the hawk leave him
Speaker 2: here for nanny, He didy Man, having said that he
Speaker 2: and his new wife have been together for many, many years.
Speaker 2: Oh so he's still with the nanny. Yeah, well, I
Speaker 2: guess if you're fine, love you fine, love, don't you
Speaker 2: can't be with the one you love, honey, love the
Speaker 2: one you're with.
Speaker 1: So then Nanny she says, keep keep your hands, sorry
Speaker 1: off my homie, and she takes that down.
Speaker 2: Told me.
Speaker 1: Then Maggie is quite nervous about new people, but turns
Speaker 1: out she's not nervous, she's just a bit gassy, and
Speaker 1: Inger gives her the Ingleberry oil under her tongue, which
Speaker 1: fixes it all straight away, and Marge feels bad for
Speaker 1: calling her references. Then Luigi's it's a double date, Marge,
Speaker 1: Homer Selma and Debourne thorn Borg the orn whatever. He's
Speaker 1: a Norwegian olden Villian, she says, they now dating after
Speaker 1: she hired him to kill the moles in her garden,
Speaker 1: but she has the face of his great uncle Madris.
Speaker 2: Or something on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Magnus, after half of the accident he had and
Speaker 1: then talking about it, he said, talking about taking the
Speaker 1: jobs at none of us want at Springfield Want, which
Speaker 1: is a good gag, and then he says his flobber
Speaker 1: could light the town for a year or something along
Speaker 1: those lines.
Speaker 2: Did I zing the earth? Good? Yes?
Speaker 3: You did?
Speaker 2: Great, she's in love with him. Did you call it flubber?
Speaker 2: He said blubber? Oh though he said flubber. I said flobber.
Speaker 2: Did he say blubber? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think, Oh, maybe the kids are just started watching flobber,
Speaker 1: so flobbers just on the mind. We're now at the
Speaker 1: at the park and all the kids from Old de
Speaker 1: Villa wearing Minnesota Viking apparrol, which annoys Millhouse because this
Speaker 1: is Tennessee Titans territory. This is totally meet the footy.
Speaker 1: We Our seats are in a Gelong Cats fans section, right,
Speaker 1: But there's the option if you can't make it to
Speaker 1: the game, you can sell your tickets, your seats back
Speaker 1: to the club and we'll give it to somebody else.
Speaker 1: The people behind us scenes has never come to games,
Speaker 1: so our seats always have opposition supporters.
Speaker 2: Right behind us.
Speaker 1: So Geelong fans everywhere, but right behind us opposition supporters.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is going on? Are they often vocal?
Speaker 2: Very vocal?
Speaker 1: I'm all for everyone every time has their supporters, but it's.
Speaker 2: Just like it's behind me.
Speaker 1: That's the lesson of this episode is the thing they're
Speaker 1: always like smart us because it's always someone different, right Becau.
Speaker 1: There's always a different team that you're playing. It's usually
Speaker 1: young blokes with a few beers now and they is
Speaker 1: lippy and it's just like just they're doing miss try
Speaker 1: Science Yer to three thousand basically at the foot where
Speaker 1: it's just running commentary and I'm like, shut the funk up,
Speaker 1: like no one wants to hear what you think about everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got BT for this shit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, I'm all about supporting and cheering
Speaker 1: the game, but they're just like giving and they think
Speaker 1: they're funny.
Speaker 2: Well that's the problem. Here's the thing. Everybody thinks they've
Speaker 2: got a podcast. They don't. It's only it's only Dandem guy.
Speaker 2: We're the only ones who have a podcast.
Speaker 1: Used to be when I said I do a podcast
Speaker 1: for a living, people will say, what's a podcast? Now
Speaker 1: I say I do a podcast for a living. They go, oh,
Speaker 1: of course you do. Everyone does, and yeah, well you
Speaker 1: know what you know ruin this celebrities? Oh yeah, oh
Speaker 1: no one was doing podcasts. No one was doing podcasts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely blame Jason Bateman for this.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's one of them, good guy probably, But but
Speaker 1: then shows how the natives ride sky and he ends
Speaker 1: up crashing into the school bus and goes down the
Speaker 1: hill on the skateboard crashing into the school bus and
Speaker 1: dislocates his arm or his elbow or something along those lines.
Speaker 1: It's now going to be a three hour wait in
Speaker 1: the emergency room because all the old.
Speaker 2: And villions are there now.
Speaker 1: They sneeze funny, and they're out of English form, so
Speaker 1: she has to use a Norwegian form. Homer says he's
Speaker 1: annoyed that the foreigners are clogging up his system or
Speaker 1: cloging up the system. I hurt my back un cloging
Speaker 1: your septic system. Yeah, well, can come back tomorrow. It's
Speaker 1: still broken again. You can come back and fix it
Speaker 1: again for you tomorrow. Margin says you would care for
Speaker 1: him at home. So they're trying to say I think
Speaker 1: this is their way of also saying it doesn't always
Speaker 1: have its benefits. You know, hospitals are full, which means
Speaker 1: parents are now having to take their kids home. I
Speaker 1: get the treatment they need.
Speaker 2: That kind of thing. It is the thing. You take
Speaker 2: the good, you take the bad, you have to, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you take them both and then you have the facts alive. Yes,
Speaker 2: margin puts bart back in place. So just like yeah
Speaker 2: he had the kind yeah shoulders. Yeah, did the whole
Speaker 2: Martain Riggs from lethal weapon. Yes.
Speaker 1: Indeed all the Wokes from the English cricket team who
Speaker 1: went out with a disticcated shoulder.
Speaker 2: You see that no.
Speaker 1: England had the just precludes me watching. I had a
Speaker 1: Test cricket, had a Test game against and he had
Speaker 1: the game won. They needed to make like thirty two
Speaker 1: runs or something. He had four wickets in hand and
Speaker 1: stuffed it up. And the guy who was ninth the
Speaker 1: one of the balls have disiccated shoulder. So you get
Speaker 1: to run out and be the ninth batter with dissiccated shoulder.
Speaker 1: And of course he went out. Man, Actually I don't
Speaker 1: think he went out, but they fluffed it up and
Speaker 1: they lost. Yeah, crick at a But then, as I
Speaker 1: was saying, Homer is starting to think that maybe you
Speaker 1: having these immigrants here was a bad idea. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: better when they weren't around here. At least it points out, well,
Speaker 1: we were once immigrants and you want a baby. Do
Speaker 1: you still like milk and hugs? He's like, I actually do,
Speaker 1: so he gives hers some milk, give it a hug,
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know what, not bad. This was
Speaker 1: actually one of my favorite moments that I didn't talk
Speaker 1: about it earlier. Be goes, Yeah, I think it would
Speaker 1: be nice to mention it here, because yeah, who doesn't
Speaker 1: like milk and hugs?
Speaker 2: Never too old for a cuddle.
Speaker 1: We're a nice glass of milk. Yes, I've had a
Speaker 1: glass of milk for a long time, milk with my cereal.
Speaker 1: But I don't have a glass of milk. I don't
Speaker 1: drink coffee your tea, so I don't really get milk.
Speaker 2: All that often. I had to get milk for something
Speaker 2: I might have been making, like mac and cheese. Do
Speaker 2: you get like the full fat milk? We get skim milk. No,
Speaker 2: I just got read because I don't really have that
Speaker 2: much of that. So I have black coffee and I
Speaker 2: don't have cereal or coffee, so I don't really have
Speaker 2: milk in the house all that often. But I needed
Speaker 2: for mac and cheese. I've got a little thing. There
Speaker 2: was a little bit left in the container so I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to drink it straight like
Speaker 2: a man. Delicious. It was really nice. Should have got
Speaker 2: some quick, put some quick in there. Well, I used to.
Speaker 2: It was the after school treaked. Oh it was cocaine
Speaker 2: for kids. Yeah, it's just like six heaped teat tablespoons
Speaker 2: of that's insane, man, No, that's too much, too much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I had to be kated on the bottom and caked
Speaker 2: on the top. It was just like just drinking quick.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so good stone would the spoon would just
Speaker 2: stand up straight in the and the glass. But now
Speaker 2: this milk had been in the fridge for a while,
Speaker 2: was ice cold, and I just had like a good
Speaker 2: sized mouthful just to polish off the containers. Like, holy moly,
Speaker 2: that was nice. You know he likes milk, Santa Claus.
Speaker 2: I got no response to that.
Speaker 1: Was like live glass milk out for Santa. You always
Speaker 1: have a glass book, couple of cookies, and some carrots
Speaker 1: of the reindeer.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that is true. I do remember that we
Speaker 2: never never left the glass and milk out for the
Speaker 2: for Santa Claus. No, just like the presents and go buddy,
Speaker 2: you never left him anything. No, I'm sure I did.
Speaker 2: I did when I was, when I was, when I
Speaker 2: was a very young don't do it now? How do
Speaker 2: you expect presents?
Speaker 1: How do you think those presents to your tree on
Speaker 1: Christmas morning? Count Basie, do I break it to him?
Speaker 1: You live in beer? Oh two fingers a whiskey, but
Speaker 1: on your chest?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, didn't you see the motion pitch of Red
Speaker 2: One starring Dwayne Johnson and Preservans and as me and
Speaker 2: my friend Charlie referred to him Jack Simmons because JK
Speaker 2: Simmons was just jacked. Yeh, duk buck old man jacked?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, old man Jay. This is weird.
Speaker 1: There's no muscles here, but it's like it's still muscles somehow.
Speaker 1: There's veins there, wrinkley veins.
Speaker 2: Like looking at this help.
Speaker 1: But then we're at Moe's now and Carl's annoyed by
Speaker 1: the Norwegians, and most as I don't mind them, because
Speaker 1: you know, they pay cash, they keep their they keep clean,
Speaker 1: and their mythology is richer than chanting. Do you think
Speaker 1: they use the character of Mo, who's usually the most racist,
Speaker 1: to speaking of the person as a way to saying,
Speaker 1: you guys are the problem. I'm actually fine, that's a
Speaker 1: good point. Yeah, I think that's a that's a very
Speaker 1: good way of putting it. There's one to cut straight
Speaker 1: to most. I was like, yeah, guy's gonna be there.
Speaker 2: Immigrants, emigrants. Lames was saying them immigrants.
Speaker 1: Well, he is actually an immigrant. As we assume mummy talks.
Speaker 1: He talks about how he doesn't serve beer anymore. He
Speaker 1: serves aquavit.
Speaker 2: This is supposed a lot of like real rocket fuel acvavit.
Speaker 1: Is it a real thing? Oh yeah, oh shit, I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. I am going to give the google.
Speaker 1: It was a clear liqueur, yeah, also spelled akavit, is
Speaker 1: a Scandinavian spirit primarily produced in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
Speaker 1: It is a distilled spirit, typically made from grain or
Speaker 1: potatoes and flavored with a variety of herbs and spices.
Speaker 1: Carraway and dill are the dominant flavorings both, but other
Speaker 1: spices like pennel, cumin, and cardamom.
Speaker 2: Can also be used. Okay, then, yeah, I didn't realize
Speaker 2: it's a real thing. It's a spicy liquor, spicy liquea
Speaker 2: as he calls it. Yeah, it sounds liquors and the cures, yes,
Speaker 2: but more more liquors than the liqueurs. I think sometimes
Speaker 2: is on those lines. But anyway, this is where you're
Speaker 2: annoyed by this, saying, what do you mean you turned
Speaker 2: your back on this mood? Not serving beer anymore. It's
Speaker 2: all about the other king Harolds now because they've changed
Speaker 2: the currency essentially. Now in Springfield and Homer asked for
Speaker 2: a glass of it and it gets him drunk really
Speaker 2: really fast. Must be very alcoholic, right, I think it's
Speaker 2: pretty high package. Yeah, but I see drinks a lot
Speaker 2: of it. Oh sign of it?
Speaker 1: Basically what is the percentage? I think it happened like
Speaker 1: in the shot it's a spirit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So now he's hung over at work. This was
Speaker 2: very quick. There's lots of quick cutaways in this one.
Speaker 2: So he's late. Well, fire again.
Speaker 3: You leaked and drunk, Shut up?
Speaker 2: You last your job.
Speaker 3: It's not my fault.
Speaker 2: Those Egdenville guys plied me with their native liqueurs and liquors,
Speaker 2: but mostly liqueurs. Oh poor, and you with your alcoholism. Yeah.

Speaker 1: says at the front tonight it's our immigrant problem. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: we turn on you, and the Blue Head Lawyer makes
Speaker 1: an appearance here. Haven't seen him for a long time.
Speaker 1: I actually tell a lie. He appeared recently, right.
Speaker 2: Well, on an old episode that we watched.
Speaker 1: Was another episode an not the one that I thought
Speaker 1: it was one where he says something about Disney stealing.
Speaker 2: I don't know anyway.
Speaker 1: Blue Head Lawyer is there and he says that immigant
Speaker 1: shouldn't be allowed in Springfield, and Homer supports his xylophobia,
Speaker 1: not xenophobia, at least it points out, and so it
Speaker 1: should be xenophobia, he says, no xylophobe, because it's the
Speaker 1: music here when skeletons are dancing.
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't hate that, that's actually true. I
Speaker 2: liked it.
Speaker 1: And then they end up banning immigrants and xylophones and
Speaker 1: the border's clothes and miss lagasys you can't take my
Speaker 1: xylophone and runs out like a little insident zone style
Speaker 1: with the xylophone playing.
Speaker 2: It's a funny visual gag. I've got a lot of
Speaker 2: respect for someone who can really rock a xylophone or
Speaker 2: a glockenspiel.
Speaker 1: Or anyone who just playing musical instrument of any kind. Well, yes, true,
Speaker 1: but the ones that aren't you stocks down a drums, guitar,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: There was a stage I may have been in the ad,
Speaker 2: but you would hear like rock songs or pop songs
Speaker 2: that actually had the xylophone or the glock and spiel
Speaker 2: in there. I'm like, it's pretty rare. I kind of
Speaker 2: like that. I can I still say to this day.
Speaker 1: One of the things that really got me attracted to Nicola,
Speaker 1: right obviously, you know, I went on a date with
Speaker 1: a blah blah blah. She was staying at a friends
Speaker 1: place and went and visited her at a friend's place.
Speaker 1: I had this piano there, and Nichola starts playing the
Speaker 1: piano and I was like that was so awesome. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: like I would I've always wanted to be able to
Speaker 1: play the piano. Nicholas just like, yeah, I can play it,
Speaker 1: starts playing that daylight no do do do do do
Speaker 1: do it?
Speaker 2: And I was like, I love you. You're awesome, and
Speaker 2: then she fucking just buzzed out Baker Street on the saxophone.
Speaker 1: I was like this woman, Oh yeah, now I have
Speaker 1: the most respectful for musicians. Yeah, Nicola is awesome at saxophone.
Speaker 1: She was in a genuine band.
Speaker 2: I'll bet you yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, police officer, jazz musician, accountant, don't at all, mother, wife, wife,
Speaker 1: the dando her greatest achievement. But yeah, So the town
Speaker 1: meeting has happened and they have agreed to ben or
Speaker 1: close the border, not allow any more immigrants in Sore
Speaker 1: now at the border and the Norwegians are getting in
Speaker 1: still that they're running across the border. They're getting between
Speaker 1: Wigham's legs. It's like this guy's ridding a bike. What
Speaker 1: am I superman? And then they realize they're going to
Speaker 1: need extra help because Springfield only has three cops. That's
Speaker 1: a funny joke. If it wasn't just the last week
Speaker 1: we had the four Great Women and a manicure. The
Speaker 1: one before that was Waverley Hills No. Two one dough
Speaker 1: where they acknowledged that there's more cops in spring because
Speaker 1: time it gets.
Speaker 2: Arrested at the start.
Speaker 1: That's right, you've just made the joke there's more cops
Speaker 1: in Springfield, and there was any make it three.
Speaker 2: Later on you get more cops at the end of
Speaker 2: this episode as well. So then against the whole thing
Speaker 2: production meetings. Indeed, Plus, did we really need to cut
Speaker 2: away to Eddie with gout? I don't think we did.
Speaker 2: What we all are funny, No, where's Eddie? So if
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a cutaway cut away to something funny,
Speaker 2: why does he walk out? Or if he's you know,
Speaker 2: if he really does have gout, which you normally get
Speaker 2: from indulgent in wine and rich food and all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, have him in bed with you know, Ah,
Speaker 2: it splits up. Ah, I've got gat But also he's
Speaker 2: drinking a glass of wine at the same time because
Speaker 2: you just can't help himself. Or he's eating and like
Speaker 2: eating a fucking thing a patterns.
Speaker 1: Or his ancestors in Norwegian and he's actually been kicked out.
Speaker 2: Good point. See we're fixing it.
Speaker 1: Guy rocks up on a horse that's asked off to
Speaker 1: pay to get in with. I was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's free, going for free, it's free. And then he
Speaker 1: suggest vigilantes who will work for free because of the
Speaker 1: adrenaline Russia of having tiny, tiny bit of authority over
Speaker 1: your fellow man. And it cuts to everyone standing there
Speaker 1: with guns and your typical he would expect to be
Speaker 1: in a vigilante group in Springfield or all there. You've
Speaker 1: got your kleatuses and Lenny Carl's and your barnies and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Mole Man's are as well, I believe, and home and
Speaker 1: then puts the gun in his.
Speaker 2: Mouth as well. Almost made a big mistake, And I
Speaker 2: was like, sure, yeah, that just wasn't funny. That's not funny.
Speaker 2: That's not funny.
Speaker 1: No word in the Simpsons movie when Wigan was eating
Speaker 1: doughnuts of his gun and it goes bang and it
Speaker 1: shoots his hat and he goes, wow, wow, cloth, that
Speaker 1: was different. This is Homer just putting a gun in
Speaker 1: his mouth.
Speaker 2: Well, that's it. It needed a little more build up
Speaker 2: with everything they were doing when they were shooting at
Speaker 2: berns and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, it happened just happened so quickly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it did indeed. So now we get them guarding the
Speaker 1: border with guns. Agnuses allowed in, but the Norwegians aren't,
Speaker 1: and all our negative energy has been harnessed to help
Speaker 1: keep Springfield's borders secure from Ogden Villians. But our group,
Speaker 1: it needs a name, and then it represents the US
Speaker 1: history of defending our way of life.
Speaker 2: The Klan no bad ideas. Let's keep trying the Nazis.
Speaker 2: You stop truck they need.
Speaker 1: Carl suggests the star spangled goofballs. That's what they go with,
Speaker 1: the goofballs, goofballs, goofballs. Yeah, Homer is now going to
Speaker 1: be They've got a chair with balloons, and Home is
Speaker 1: going to be referring to himself as screaming eagle up
Speaker 1: above and letting the guys that on the bottom of
Speaker 1: the ground loses ground losers patrol something on those lines
Speaker 1: on the ground to find the ones that Homer spotting
Speaker 1: from up above. They release the sandbags, but the chair
Speaker 1: just breaks, so then Lenny and Carl take over. They
Speaker 1: fly up in the in the chair on the balloons,
Speaker 1: but they go two high and it's too cold up there.
Speaker 1: But we do see the uphouse came from the up house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: interesting cameo. It wasn't owned by Disney at this point.
Speaker 1: It feels like something that have now because they're owned
Speaker 1: by Disney, but they weren't owned by Disney at this point.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned up earlier when we were talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, films that are going to be topping the
Speaker 2: box office between two weeks. Yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 1: At least it was a timely reference.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to say that this poorly can see patrol
Speaker 3: carried out by a group of brank amateurs had somehow
Speaker 3: been a failure. Yeah. Those body chaps of crafty. One
Speaker 3: of them handcuffed me to this tree.
Speaker 2: Not a tree, chief, that's the street side. You just
Speaker 2: looped your belt around it when you were changing your pants.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm hearing lots of problems but no solutions.
Speaker 1: And Homo sees Bart that he's bouncing a ball against
Speaker 1: a billboard, right, and it ends up bouncing off the billboard,
Speaker 1: hits home in the head. He goes to choke him
Speaker 1: to see.
Speaker 2: The visual gag. Yet isn't there wasn't stop child abuse.
Speaker 1: Yah, report child abuse. So we've got to choke Bart
Speaker 1: and they realize, oh, no, we'll do We'll build a fence.
Speaker 1: We'll build a fence around this. It's saying all this, right,
Speaker 1: Southbuck have already done this story, haven't they.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, Yeah, Simpsons already done the story. Shitty,
Speaker 2: what guy he's guarding the fence.
Speaker 1: Remember they build a wall, So it wasn't So maybe
Speaker 1: maybe Trump's actually a South Park fan.
Speaker 2: I wonder now, maybe just aishonado of animation. Maybe yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1: Indeed, then we get dinner time and Marge is concerned
Speaker 1: about the fact that they're going to be building a wall, says,
Speaker 1: we've taught the kids to befriend those who are a
Speaker 1: little bit different, and then Maggie, they're all going, does
Speaker 1: Thatt wrike you to go?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, and Maggie says yeah. So she says yes in Norwegian,
Speaker 1: how many used as an example to why they should
Speaker 1: build a fence, and March says, build it, Homie. High's
Speaker 1: the sky deep as hell? So context a side, right,
Speaker 1: And how horrible that is for Marge as a person
Speaker 1: to say. I understand that she'd be annoyed by this.
Speaker 1: Having Maggie speak for the first time and the family
Speaker 1: see this is a huge moment in the history of
Speaker 1: the show and it's just fobbed off for a quick game.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it takes away from the daddy
Speaker 1: moment for me where that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was just about to say, which they basically
Speaker 2: film framed a whole episode around, had a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of the sim mythology around. Yeah. So yeah, for them
Speaker 2: to sort of throw that again under the bus.
Speaker 1: Because margin Homer and the family think that this is
Speaker 1: actually her first word, and I was like, you just
Speaker 1: sort of it means nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, okay, what's the work around for this? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you have her like maybe drawing like yah on
Speaker 2: the wall in like Lingenbury jam or something, or just
Speaker 2: don't have to have Marge approof of the wall at all?
Speaker 2: Man also a possibility.
Speaker 1: I don't think Marcha ever have approved for the wall.
Speaker 1: I guess they're trying to say that even someone that
Speaker 1: is good, even good people, can get caught up in
Speaker 1: mob mentality, in the mentality of it all. Anyway, it
Speaker 1: just annoyed me, and it shouldn't because I know it's
Speaker 1: just season twenty the Simpsons, but I just sort of
Speaker 1: went just this just feels like it takes away from
Speaker 1: that classic Daddy.
Speaker 2: Ending of Lisa's first word.
Speaker 1: But then the mayor asks who knows how to build
Speaker 1: a wall?
Speaker 2: No one knows.
Speaker 1: I know who, Carp suggests the Norwegians, the barley jacks wall.
Speaker 1: We're getting the build it and they can bugger off.
Speaker 1: So they all help them build it.
Speaker 2: They're all there.
Speaker 1: I did love to keep out sign which was made,
Speaker 1: and Ogden ill yes, and Snake is chatting away. One
Speaker 1: of the guys he talks beout. His wife puts so
Speaker 1: many pillows on the bed and they put in the
Speaker 1: right order. And then the other one says, and she
Speaker 1: always wants a cat slip in a bed.
Speaker 2: Tell me.
Speaker 1: Flanders bonds over the other guy with his button sweaters,
Speaker 1: and then the kid mentions to Bart about the prime
Speaker 1: and the happier stuff. Stay on the wall, a long geve.
Speaker 1: You put primer first. And the war finally goes up,
Speaker 1: and it's just silence. We get Ralph at Tumblewee, but
Speaker 1: everyone sort of realizes, oh, it's kind of quiet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it kind of sucks. Something doesn't feel quite right here.
Speaker 1: It turns out in Norwegians they missed them, and because
Speaker 1: of that they built a door as well, and they
Speaker 1: realize he you know what, we should just let them in.
Speaker 2: Okay, this begs the question, This raises the question. Yes,
Speaker 2: why on earth with the Ogdenvillians wants to hang from
Speaker 2: those people of Springfield? Why would they want to hang
Speaker 2: out with them? No know where to go because they're
Speaker 2: just so nice? I guess you know where to go?
Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah. Ogdenville's ruined, isn't it. The olden Villions
Speaker 2: seem pretty can do it. Feels like they could rebuild this.
Speaker 2: They could rebuild, they'd probably, But the thing is that they.
Speaker 1: Can build stuff, but their whole economy was built on
Speaker 1: the Bari.
Speaker 2: That's correct, Yes, and they need a good entrepreneur to
Speaker 2: sort of show them the way. Yeah, they need a
Speaker 2: dandough essential. But this is the thing.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, they're going out of business right because no
Speaker 1: one's to buy the bar anymore. But couldn't they just say, look,
Speaker 1: we've cleaned our stuff up, We're just going to make
Speaker 1: it properly again, because where else thinking eat the barallet
Speaker 1: from shelby them? They shall people have a good barley.
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, but you're right. Why would why
Speaker 1: would they want to hang out with them, given.
Speaker 2: That they're yeah, being completely exploitative and kind of cruel.
Speaker 2: And I bet you next week we never see them again.
Speaker 2: Oh and speaking, hey, speaking next week, do you think
Speaker 2: Home is going to get his job back? What job? What?
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this the other night.
Speaker 1: Probably happily ever after that's the end of the episode.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the end I think a big swing is
Speaker 1: sore they've ever seen and the Uegian flag and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah were.
Speaker 2: The Homer keep losing his job? I mean, should they
Speaker 2: make it like a plot point or a story sort
Speaker 2: of driver in Egyptue where he loses one that he
Speaker 2: has to find some way to get it back, that
Speaker 2: he has to who persuade Smithers or mister Burns like
Speaker 2: no you really need me? Or or have him sucking
Speaker 2: up or having to do something and genius to get
Speaker 2: his job back. I don't know, I get the feeling
Speaker 2: that might be kind of fun.
Speaker 1: I think at this point here it feels as a
Speaker 1: vieurop of Season twenty of The Simpsons that the writers
Speaker 1: almost see Homer's job as a roadblock and a nuisance
Speaker 1: because they want to use him as a tool for comedices.
Speaker 1: Escapade is on the show. But him having a job means, oh,
Speaker 1: he can't do that. So they's either don't acknowledge the
Speaker 1: job or they fight get him fired, fired and fired.
Speaker 1: If they had their way, he probably wouldn't work at
Speaker 1: the power plant anymore. But how could this the family
Speaker 1: function without a breadwinner? Yeah, so that's why he still
Speaker 1: has to have the job. But it's almost like him
Speaker 1: having a job now is just oh, he's got a job,
Speaker 1: but don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: Don't wry about that.
Speaker 1: They let him get away or whatever. Yeah, so it
Speaker 1: seems a bit far fetched now, but that's what happens
Speaker 1: when a show goes for twenty plus years. Now thirty
Speaker 1: seven years. It's pretty insane, right, it's very insane.
Speaker 2: What do we learn bomb? All right?
Speaker 1: So what did you learn from the episode? Mister Davis?
Speaker 2: That if you're gonna have facial hair, you'd better make
Speaker 2: it rugged but reliable.
Speaker 1: What's reliable facial hair to you? So I don't like mustaches.
Speaker 1: I think mustache by itself is I don't know. You
Speaker 1: have to be able to truly rock that mustache, that's correct.
