• 1:04
  Speaker 1: going down to south Park is a hell of a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: good time. We've had a lot of fun. We've just
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: finished season seven at the show, and the show's just
• 1:09

• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I was about to say, do you mean our show
• 1:13

  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great time to check it. Even if
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you don't like south Park, just give it a try
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: south Park. I'm going down to south Park and you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: find a link for that in the description of this show.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: But how have you been? How's your may been? How's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: my may been? Look, it's been good. There's been a lot.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Going on podcasting wise, work wise, personally and professionally. Yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, it seems like it's just zipped by, as
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: time seems to be doing in the U twenty twenty
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: five for all of us. But no, I can't say
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I've got that many complaints, you know, a little bit
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of a existential dread about the state of things and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the potential path of the future.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: But otherwise I'm feeling pretty good. I did tell you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: today to get off Twitter. I feel like Twitter is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: like your home. Twitter's like your go to place. You know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you're on Facebook, but I feel like you live on
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Twitter a lot more than Facebook. And I was saying
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to you how Twitter is just the epitome of just negativity. Now,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It's where people go to just vent their frustrations. It's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: good for keeping up to date with what's going on,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: what people are talking about. But if you live on
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it for too long, mate, I've found my mental health
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: went down the toilet when I stayed on Twitter for
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: too long.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I find if you curate your feed with the sort
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: of like minded people and kindred spirits, you're probably doing
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it right. I mean you've got to stay in the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: following section as opposed to.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: The four years that's true.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, for you section, it's like, no, this is
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: not for me, daddy, elon, what are you thinking?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: What do you think of me? Man?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But if you know you're in the following section, it's like, Hey,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I'm hanging out with a couple of my cool buds here.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: We'll just talk sit about various.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Things and usually that's all right. The problem I'm finding,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to sort of get myself in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: trouble with any algorithms or anything like that. The problem
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: is mainly YouTube in a lot of ways. Because I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: like YouTube very much, I'm probably using it more than
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'm using regular TV these days when it comes to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: my really visual wants and need.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I do we watch Judge Duty and Border Security. I'm
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: still on that gravy train.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: But this is the problem with YouTube and maybe a
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: lot of things. But it's not so much if you
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: like this, we'll give you the algorithm is not in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: childre enough to go, oh, I you like this, maybe
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: like this. Like if you like this, you're gonna like this, this,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and this, And they're all the same thing. They're different
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: people talking about the same topic. So if, for instance,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you tune into one video about so let's say AI
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: is coming for your job, it's like.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's already came, it's gone, and it's gone. God
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is your job.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But well, this person seems either informed or they seem like, oh,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: this will be an interesting and fun rant, and you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: tune into that, you give it maybe five minutes ago,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and this person sucks all.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: About the thumbnail. Yeah that's the hook, Oh it is.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing. We'll talk about that in just
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a second.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Because we got the video and I'll be able to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: sort of replicate it. But yeah, then that's all you get.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: It's like you got twelve months to prepare for an employment,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: but he's going for your job, so what and that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: all you get.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like I watched one video had a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: bath of cat because a kitten had shipp through its firm.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: How to a bath of kitten? Right now? Everything is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: just like his videos a kitten's being bathed, and I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: was like, I just cleaned it. I don't need this anymore.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: But the other thing is, and ye know, you've got
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a wealth of YouTube creators who either doing reaction videos.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: This is something I found this coming up, the reaction
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to shows like like we do except we do it
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: much better and differently, or commenting on current events, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: they all tend to be the same event. But there
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: are so many YouTube thumbnails that are basically this. You know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: they'll have been created by AI or photoshop yeah yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: or someone on fire but that's exactly right. But they'll
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: be a little bit going on behind them, but the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: creator will be in the center.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Going yeah, looking at all confused or shopped yeah.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And I find it incredibly off putting.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Well it's me when I'm you know, when I see
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the reaction videos to South Like episodes and I'm going this, guys,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: these guys are adding nothing. They're contributed that is laughing
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at the screen, and they're doing there much more successful
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: than me. That breaks my heart. So I'll try to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: avoid those. Well, yeah, understandable. I mean we did we
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: ever try to do one of those, well these fun mails,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: one of those reaction videos. Reaction whenever did reaction video
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: now because we do reviews anyway, commentaries and stuff commentary.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Speaking of YouTube, though, I am now uploading reels every
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: single day from the shows that we do. Here FFing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a discount gone to the South Park, so check it out.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to us on on the YouTube.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So I've gone through they wouldn't let us monetize the channel.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I've gone through and I have removed things that might
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: have copyrighted stuff, and I've applied again and they've said
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you can monetize it at the end of next month.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So if you watch your stuff on YouTube, you're helping
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the show, so you're getting free content and you're helping
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: us make money. So you can't sport us on Patreon.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: That's another way you can now help us at forming
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a discounts watching our videos on YouTube. Check out dander
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: gaming the system just to gain that system. What a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: lord plus you get to look at us. Let's let's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: let's get into the mailback with one question. Good got
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: lot of Simpsons News. As you hanging you ask me
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: about my mail my mate, So we had Star Wars Elliott,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we have not. We didn't watch Empire Strikes Back yet.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It's just been been a big week with kids, just
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: ups and downs and just kitting shit. Yeah, kitting shit,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and yeah, it's just been a bit chaotic here. But
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'm it's just sitting there ready to go. I really
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: want to film Elliott when he sees that revealed at
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the end of Empire Strikes Back. So I know the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Star Wars month, I promise it hasn't quite happened yet,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: but it is coming, I do promise. But yeah, so
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: we've had a lot of questions come through this month.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I don't forget. You can get in touch with us.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's mail bag at four finger discount dot com dot au.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Or we do post in the Patreon group unfortunates. Probably
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: give an update there, so I'll let everyone know that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the page has returned. I was able to get the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: page back and post on there and whatnot, and then
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the next day I was a I was informed that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I couldn't post via the page anymore. I couldn't post
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: in groups anymore for a month because I was an
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: admin of an old page at least to help out
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: with Simpsons quotes, and nobody gets anymore. Their page are
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: suspended for a reason. Apparently they were suspended for impersonating
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a celebrity, even though they're just a Simpsons page that
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: just does nothing really that and hadn't really posted in years.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: It was just like randomly just suspended. But because I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was an admin of that page, I now can't post
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: on my other pages. So luckily I'm able to log
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in as Nickoler and post on the main page, but
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I can't post in the page young group this month.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So if you're wondering why I haven't been communicating much
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: at all, that's the reason. But normally I would be
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: posting in the Pagreon group asking for mailbag questions. That's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: another way you can get in touch with us. But
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: if you're not a supporter of ours on pageon, you
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: can contact us mailbag at four figure discount dot com
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: dot au. Now, when I read out these names going forward,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna read it the first name of the person.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I'ven't read it the last name is because some.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Of these surnames are very difficult to pronounce.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, and two privacy for some people, and if it's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: their question, I don't know who it is. I mean
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: old point. So the first one he's from Justin. Justin says,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: which Simpson's character did you crush on as a kid,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: if any, and which one do you crush on now
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: as an adult? Well, I think I.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Think listeners to the show will we'll have noted Dando's
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: rampant horniness when it comes to Marge. Sometimes I agree, I'm.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: He's not my crush though, Oh no, I do like March.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I think she's great, she's a great No, she's you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: take her home to mum. But I think is there
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: anyone more of a catch, in my opinion now as
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: an adult watching The Simpsons than missus k ednar Kabobble.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: She is incredibly smart, she's incredibly kind, and she's DTF.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: What more could you want in a woman?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I'm working really hard to come up with an alternative
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: meaning of the acronym DTF something involving teacher which has
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the tea in it, but dirty teacher, Think dirty teaching female?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, there you go. The thing is, there's a reason,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: there's a reason you only get one chance with Ednarker bubble.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, I would say if I have a crush
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: as a grown up. I don't think I had any
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: crushes as a chart.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you were twenty one when the show.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: As a young adult, shall we say, I'm finding myself
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: leaning towards Lindsay Nagel. Okay, yeah, get the feeling she
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: you like.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You, boss you around? Well, yeah, know what to do.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I would hit my KPIs if you know what I mean.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And she seems know what I mean. She seems like
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: she'd be a man eater as well. Oh absolutely yeah.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: And this would not be a long lasting relationship, certainly,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: not my bad, but I get the feeling. Would be
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: one of those things that you there's a great life.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the movie Hella high Water. You know
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: there's a great line in it where one of the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: characters is sweet talking like a hotel clerk and wanted
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: me the Dylan in your last days at the retirement home.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna remember me in giggle. So that's
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: that's what you think about Lindsay Nagel. You'd be sort
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: of like here I am ninety two, gumming myferred and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you know, I remember that time Nagel.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: She was not that would be me and Lindsay. She
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: strikes me as that kind of gal. Yeah, yeah, I'll
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: completely buy into that as well. I think as a kid,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: because I wasn't kid watching The Simptoms growing up. I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: also I always had a mad crush on Laura Powers,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the next door neighbor who moved in. She was a
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: bit older.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Voice by Sarah Gilbert from Roseanne.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, So as I was growing up, I always
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I had this neighbor who was a bit older than me,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: who was I sort of like looked up to, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: she would know keeping company and blah blah blah. And
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: she eventually she sort of got too old. She was like,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not looking after these little kidney more. But she
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: was like my babysitter. She I was at a crush
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: on her, right, Yeah, And I saw Laura Powers and
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, that is pretty much that's what I had.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You know, it was never gonna work, but I always
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: had this. It was almost like she she gave me
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: my first CD. She showed me, you know, PATV for
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the first time. She so many of my first except
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: for the main one with this next door neighbor. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: was like, can weep. Can we took off all the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: first because Laura powers, She's no, she's a tom boy,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: she can hold her own, she's tough, she's smart, she's funny,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: she's just she's awesome.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: She's the package. Yeah, she is the boy page. Yeah,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a to be very careful. How about
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: her phrase this next thing. I am not viewing this
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: from the perspective of what a guy I know. I'm
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: viewing this perspective of eight year old, eight year old guy.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Or that's what that's okay, young guy who was discovering
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: girls for the first time, someone like Jessica Lovejoy.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Who appears to be you know, you go love Joy,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't melt in her mouth. And then oh
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: she's evil. Oh bad news, she's bad news. It's star
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: wars Man.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You're taking your first step into a larger world, and
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: you realize, oh, wait a minute, how can suddenly hacken someon.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: That feels so good? Feels so bad?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I remember, you know, being a
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: child and sort of you know, you'd have a crush
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: on a girl who'd be a little bit only as
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you were saying, like someone like the real life Laura
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: powers and they realized the power they have and it's like,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: might just rip your heart your chest and like, yeah,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I hold them a half for a second.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Oh look at a beating squish.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Oh no, I need that. I needed to live and
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: to feel. So did this ever happen to me? Who
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: can say? But yeah, that's that's another one. So yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I'm covering both ends of the spectrum here. That would
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: be my childhood crush and for my adel relationship. Yes,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Lindsay Nagel, she sort of floats from company to the company,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: doesn't she.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: She's the modern day I want to say, absolute girl boss. Yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: she's like a successful Linel Huts. Oh yeah, I suppose
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Lone Huts. No, but he did various things as well,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: didn't he. He was a lawyer, but he was also here,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: there and everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, maybe Gill. She's a successful Gill. Yeah,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: because you see Gill doing a lot of different things
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and he's never any good at it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, Lindsay has one job in terms of like, no,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: she's your marketing person, but you'll do it for various companies.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so she's a consultant, let's say, free agent.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: She gets it done. Yeah.

  Speaker 1: where standards fire and fight, What's what's the turn? But
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: generally said dumped where I'm breaks she breaks up, break
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: breaks up, breaks up. Yeah, with the stand and it's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: hilarious reason and the goth kids are in it. Which
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the goth kids are in it. It's got raised and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it's got everything you need in South Pike episodes. So
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: check out Going Down to South Park. Will do one
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: more question and we'll get into some Simpsons news. This
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: one's from Rachel. There's a lot of episodes that are
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: rehashes of classic era episodes. But what episodes would you
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: like to see have a second part where the story
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: from the first episode continues on will you got first? Okay,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: so a classic episode I think probably could have kept going.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have minded, maybe not so now I can
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: try it now. But just a continuation of tweeny two
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: short films about Springfield that format, because they've never really
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: done it since they've done format bending episodes. But just
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a day in the Life of Springfield. I'm glad we
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: got an episode like that in the Golden era, but
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I think it would be nice to sort of have
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: another one of those where it's just spending a day.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: It's like being a fly on the wall and just
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: buzzing around Springfield and seeing what's going on.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Forgive me, I'm terrible, terrible is but the episode? Is
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: it least a substitute?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Mister Berstram, Yeah, what is the what's the episode? Told him?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Is at least it's a substitute. Yeah, yeah, I got
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it right. Yeah, good for me.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I think it would be interesting. And this is sort
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of related to something that happened to me just recently.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: On Monday, we're recording this. On Wednesday, I was up
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: in Melbourne for the memorial service for the late author
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: of young adult fiction, John Marsden. John Marsden was one
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: of my teachers when I was when I was a
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: young man about thirteen to fifteen to sorrow, when the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: war Begame Tomorrow when the War Begang series. Yeah, very
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: very popular, very acclaimed. Yeah, a lot of the things
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that the people were talking about there, that the speakers
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: of the service were talking about, were he was a
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: very good listener to when he was working with kids,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and he would sort of cherry pick bits of conversation
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: or little bits of character trait from the kids that
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: he worked with and taught and turned them into these
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: great books. And I think it'd be interesting if like
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: mister Berstram became like a mister Marsden kind of guy,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and I wrote a series of young adult novels like
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: say Twilight or Hunger Game or whatever. And Lisa recognized, like, hey,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Katon has Abad, Wait a minute, that's me, Lena Sampson,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: wait a minute. And you know who's a bit of
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a smart Alegon knows everything and all this kind of stuff.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I'm the central character in this, And I don't know,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: maybe there's she feels aggrieved that like, hey, he ripped
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: off my life to you know, create this series of books.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: They're all doing a long.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not making any money out of it, or that
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: he writes a book and kind of like it revealed
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: too much about me and everyone knows this as me
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: or something like that.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I think that could be kind of interesting. It could
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: be that she comes across she finds out another school
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: that she finds out where he is right and she
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: goes to visit him, and she finds out that he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: gave another student a piece of paper that says that
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you are so and she's heartbroken because that was so
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: personal to her. I do think that would take away
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: from the first episode, though, because it feels so personal,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and that's true, that moment means so Mister Berkshire was
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a character who has only really appeared once properly in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the show. He has appeared in a more recent episode,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: but the main one is less Substitute season two. That
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: moment you are Lisa to him means so much to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: so many Simpsons fans. It's a good point.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you don't want to sort of mess with
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: that too much if it does have that much meaning.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I like to think that.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: It does that that foundation you could build something interesting
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: off that. But at the same time, do you want
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: to mess with the hopes and dreams of people who
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: saw this in their formative views. Who knows, there's a
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: lot of artistic responsibility that comes with telling stories.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: It's one of those moments that makes you tear up,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: even if you send it a million times.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, beautiful episode. Yeah, and it's one that sticks
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: There's a handful of Simpsons episodes that just genuinely stick
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: with your Simpsons moments. That's one of them. I think
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Homer looking at the Stars is another one where you
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: just watch it and to go. It's almost like you
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: sit back and reflect on people you've lost as well. Sure,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: when that's happening, and I know that's been used for
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the when some and so dies, it's always become memiphied
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: now that moment, but go back to that and it's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: just like, wow.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Oh it's lovely, it's very well, Yeah, they're very confident
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: about it's just sitting in the silence at the end
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: of that and letting you feel what home is feeling.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just the score in the background is beautiful. And
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: for me, though, the moment that makes me that hits
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: me the hardest now as a father, married, father of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: two kids, is the do it for her moment. Of course,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it is impossible to watch that now and not cry
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: literally can't hold That is just I think that is
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the most sweetest moment in the history of the show,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: because you were just you weren't expecting it at the time. No, absolutely,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: not no. You almost the whole episode is built up
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: of Maggie's the forgotten one. It's all about button Lesa.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: At the end, you go, oh, no, no, Maggie means
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: so much to Homewer. Even Maggie the character, she doesn't
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: get she's she's a major character in the show, but
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you don't really see the relationship all that Often it's
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: always like a punching a She's more a prop. She's
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a punchline more than anything when it comes to relationship
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: she has with other people. But seeing that O, no know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Homer's a father who just absolutely adores this little girl.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: It's just it's incredible.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Maggie often feels like a bit of a cutaway to
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: a gag.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: It's like it's like, say, oh, you're making a movie
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: and occasionally you know Robert Rodriguez, the maker from Dusty
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Dawn and all that stuff in Desperado and all that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: When he was making his first movie on Mariachi, he
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: took a lot of footage of his dog and he
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: knew that because when the action was like, oh, I
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: needed to cut away. I'm gonna cut to the dog,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: and everyone's gonna go, oh, that's nice. So I'm not
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: saying that Maggie's exactly like that, but I mean often
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: they'll cut away to Maggie doing a little bit of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a reaction shot or like, eh, so, yeah, you're not
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: really a fully drawn, fully fleshed out character, she's a baby,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: but yeah, used in situations like that or used in
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: that way that you're talking.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: About, Oh yeah, incredibly effective.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: And yeah, you're right, that moment is even for someone
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: who has no kids on their own, it's like, yeah,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: you've got to have a meaning, you've got to have
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: a purpose, you've got to have a reason for doing something. Yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: and well, kid's as good a reason as anyway.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, Now, some Simpsons news hit me. This one probably
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that much to you because you're a Lego fan,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: but they've just announced, finally, for the first time in
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: what feels like a decade, if not more, new Simpsons. Lego.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: All right, they've got the Quickie Mart, they've got the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Simpsons House. I haven't told you about this. What do
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you think the new Simpsons lego. Is it is a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: building of sorts? Is a place you go eat? Oh?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Is it Krusty Burger? It is Crusty Berger? Indeed?
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, then I was almost going to say Gilder Traffle.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: But I must admit my first my initial thought.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Was a nuclear plant. But I thought either the school
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: or the nuclear power plant would be the way to go.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Power plant probably more so. I think it'd be a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: fun set to build. Yeah, but Krusty Berger does sound
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: like a good choice to make. Look at a lie,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of disappointed in you in it. I just
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: don't think there's well what constitutes good lego to you? Well,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I just do something? Is it? Really? It just seems
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: kind of bland, Like you look aside and it's just
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: it's just a fast food restaurant. You know, there's no
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: you get the City's house to get Bart's room, you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: got Lisa's room, you got the living room. There's all
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: these major sort of key sort of locations within the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Simpson's house. This one is just just booths and it's
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: just a counter, you know, is it?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Is it a new school fast food eatree like the
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: ones we tend to be very upset about they look
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: like flat back okeya buildings.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, all no. But it does have the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: squeaky voice team hope. So yes, And you do get
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a new Homer and you have him shoveling. He's gruel,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I know's he's grease in the back, things like that,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and you get the crusty car. I know. Just compared
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to the Quickie Mart and compared to and the Quie
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Mart is the same. It sort of just felt like
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a store. But I think the quick as a location
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: was just cool.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: It's not a little more personality. Yeah, the Krusty bigger way,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: because we're more used to it. I think we spend
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: more time at the quick Amount that we haven't, say
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Krusty Berger.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the Quickie crust the burger one. I'm not
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: blown away by it. It's fine. I think more. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: think it's my own fox. I think I was just
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: disappointed that it wasn't the power plant. Okay, ye where
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you're coming from. But a lot of the people, a
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: lot of sentiment seems to be that why wasn't this
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the power planned? So I think the next one might
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: be the power See, I was in sync. It was
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: my first thought. Yes, I think it just seems like
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the obvious one or MOS.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Actually Most seems like the more obvious now that you
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: bring it up, now that you say that word, yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: you can buy.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: You can buy almost like fake fake version of Moe's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: lego on like Ali Express or wherever you want to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: buy those fake legos from names. You can get a
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: school on there as well, and they look pretty good,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you know. So I think a genuine Mo's one, or
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: a school one or a power plant would be the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: way to go in my opinion, I like the idea
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: of MOS. Yeah, Most just seems like the place you'd
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: want to build a lego for right, sure had the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: panda in the back. And what would you have in
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a Mo's lego though? It's gonna have a couple of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the Booze, the love medic Grandpa.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, talk to Anthony Ketis and Flee about getting you know,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: red not Chili Pepper figures in there.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: That'd be cool, wuldn't it. You're obviously gonna have flaming
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Mos or will have a flaming Moment accessory. I'd be
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: cool if you could have alternating science. So one says MOS,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: one says flaming Mos. You can make it flaming. We
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: can make it mos. You'd have to have the fit.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: The women's toilet would have to have be Moo's office.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, jarrapickle onions. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. A lot of stuff, a lot of stuff you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: can do. Oh yeah yeah. Duft Man would have to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: be part of it. Oh, yes, so that would be
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: my idea. It's funny. I clicked on Krusty Berger Lego
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and then the first one I clicked on just to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: look at it turn out to be ol Express. I
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: didn't even realize it. It looks exactly the same. But
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: that's available. Yes, that's available on Lego dot com. Dot
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: are you? I think just dot Lego dot com. You
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: can just you can pre order it now. I haven't
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: pre ordered it yet, a lot of money. I think
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: it's run that pass Nickela, let's go past. Let's got
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Lego dot com and see what it costs for in Australia.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: So it's three hundred and thirty dollars. Oh, I can
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: no longer pre order it. Oh that sold out. Um,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: that's a whole lot of Lego. Yeah, I can't order
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it now, coming soon forth of June, so it's all
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: pre sold out. I guess, well, there you go. I
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: won't be pre ordering it. It's not too bad, really,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I guess it comes to Lego sets. That's true. Yeah,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: it is official. We have finally launched Bob's Pods, a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Bob's Burger's podcast, reviewing every episode of the series exclusively
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: on our Patreon. We dissect the relationships, the themes, the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: burger specials, and everything else that goes into making Bob's
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Burgers one of the most loved animated series today. So
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: if you want to sink your teeth into one of
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the tastiest podcasts going around, join the four Finger Discam
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: family today at patreon dot com slash four Finger Discam. Anyway,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: all right, let's get into another question and we'll get
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to some more news a little bit later. So this
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: next one here comes from Steve. So, Steve, do you
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: think it's time? Even though they did it as part
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: of a recent trios of horror, do you think it's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: time that we have a fully fledged Bob's Burgers slash
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Simpson's crossover episode. I think both shows could really relate
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to each other, having Homer attend Bob's store. I don't know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: very different in comedy they are, but I think they
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: can make it work. The short bit they did for
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the I think Simpsons World was the segment Trios of
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Horror maybe two or three years ago. It worked, and
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I was surprised by it. I went, I know this,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you could make this happen. Could you draw it out
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: for twenty two minutes? Of of course you could. Of
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: course you can make it. We could, I think should.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I think you're more I think it'll be better than
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the Family Guy crossover because the Family Guy crossovery when
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it happened, I went, these were two different styles, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: seeing the Family Guy characters were in the same scene
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: with the Simpsons characters, for me was a putoff because
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I went the Simpsons for me went was worse. But
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: it was trying to be this, and you really saw
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the comparisons of the style of humor when you had
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Stewie they were doing. I know. It was one thing
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that always stuck with me. It was them doing a
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: prank call to Mo's Bart and Stewie right, and Bart
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: does his usual innocent you know, fate name whatever, and
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I think Stewart just calls up and says, hey, Mo,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: your sister's dead or someone's dead, and I went, that's
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that's family guy. Yeah, and that is why I don't
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: watch Family Guy.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: You'll sometimes hear about, Oh, wouldn't be great if so
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: and so cross over with so and so, and you think,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: oh my god, yes these are Yeah, this is chocolate
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: and the peanut butter.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: This is marvelous.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two great taste tastes and great together. I don't
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: that's very rare for me that that kind of thing works.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I hear about those two like two different elements and go.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, it would be great if they work together.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I mean I hear about, you know, the Simpsons Bob
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Burger's shows that I both enjoy and I feel like,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I think you could. You would really
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: see the work that went into trying to make these
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: two things colne and coexist.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, idea just came to me. Then
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: it could be that a Krusty Burger is opening up
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: around the corner or whatever from Bob's Burger's. He's bothered
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: by this. That's your way of incorporating the Simpsons affect
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: into it. But this new store cut at the grand
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: opening is bringing back the witch or something that only
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: at that store. So Homers, as common kids were going
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to this store to get this burger, this new exclusive burger.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: He ends up going there, and then he comes across Bob,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: who was at the front protesting or something that we
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: don't want this all. Louise is trying to sabotage it
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: or something like that, something like that, And then Lisa
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and Luise get along in that regard. But Bart and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Jen get along. I don't think they would. No, I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: think Bart would find him really annoying. So we'll have
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to find a story for Bart Marge again with Linda.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not too sure.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Actually, I think those two would actually get along pretty well.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Bill House and Tina, Oh, would that work? I think
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I think it could work. And then you just have
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Homer and Bobb just become best buddies, and Homer ends
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: up trying to take on Trusty Burger with Bob.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: There you go, you brought I've come around to your way?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Is that the new Simpsons movie? I've ember seen the
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: bobis Burger's movie of you, I have not yet.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: No, that's gonna be reviewed exclusively on our Patreon, though
• 26:22

• 26:39
  Speaker 1: one comes from Michelle. Winter is fast approaching you Aussies.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: It's already here. Yeah, what is your favorite winter pastime? Nicholas,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Hot chocolate with a couple of marshmallows.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Cranking out the heater, a cup of coffee and a pastry,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: finding something good on Netflix or in my own personal
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: viewing library.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Do you like winter mornings? You've got cold if you're
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: indoors though, Do you have a fireplace? Because we didn't have.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: The last one thing I wish I had was a fireplace.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I love the smell when we're walking down the street
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: in the winter morning or winter afternoon and he can
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: smell someone's fireplaces burning. You go, oh, I need this
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: in my house. That is nice.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I midtally, I need to give someone a call because
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I think the pilot lighters out. I'm like, guess heat, Oh, yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you need to get that fixed a s I do indeed,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: because yes, I've been firing out the little electric heaters
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: and I don't know something about My house is very,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: very cold, and they're like, oh so hard to eat this.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Up with your guy.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Winter mornings are they're fine. Sometimes they are less than fine.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I do appreciate so, like if I've had the cleverness
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: to say, I've woken up at like five in the morning,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: quick turn turn the heater on, so when you actually
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: get out of bed, it's gonna be and toasty.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I don't often think that way. I used to love
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: having showers at my uncle Darren's place, patron Saint Uncle Darren. Yeah,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: because they had the heater lights in the bathroom. Yeah,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: show like it's still warm. It's like I never left.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I miss having because we've got a ducted heating, right,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: so you only really feel it on you if you're
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: sitting underneath it. Right. I miss having a not even
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: it's just a gas gas heater, but just being able
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to sit in front of it. Oh I got a
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: shower or whatever, I was laying down in front of
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the heater, having the heat blasting onto you. I missed that.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Oh nothing better, Yeah, yeah, although I thinks better. But
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that's pretty awesome.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, there are some things better.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: But as a kid, though, you'd race out the bath,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: out of shower and you'd run and you sit in
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: front of the heater with your towel on it. It's just, yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the best. So I do miss I miss sitting in
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: front of a heater.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, sure I still learn that on occasion. But honestly,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: you're nothing better than just sort of crawling under the
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: cover zone. So you've got everything done that you need
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: to get done. You've got a little time up your sleeve.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: What time of day we talking in the afternoon?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Afternoon? Yeah, it's like, you know what, I think I'm
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: just gonna lie on the bed from it.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: You know what, got this blanket on the bed, I've
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: got this rug on the bed.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to crawl to that. Oh my god,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, this feels so good. Base He's like, motherfucker,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: better be room for me up there. That's true.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: He gets his little nestle on good times. Great classic kids,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You're right though. Winter has started early here, I mean
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: it's a week early. It's not fast. We're not We're
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: not in the first godamn week of winter yet. But
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I've been getting the hot water bottles out put in
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the kids' beds, and now like this is the The
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: idea of a hot water bottle is just like so
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: great to the kids.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: That's the other thing when you mentioned winter. Yes, I
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: have two a broken out the hot water bottle, had
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: it in the bed last night.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: It's like so yeah, so good. So okay. Another question,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: all right, This one comes from Cooper. Cooper says from
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the UK. If you had the option to drive through
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Springfield on a Saturday afternoon with the windows down or
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a nice warm Saturday night with the windows down, which
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: are you choosing? Oh, you can drive around Springfield in
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the afternoon or drive around Springfield.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Of a night nighttime. I like the nighttime.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting question, isn't it. It is like
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the way your brain works, Cooper. I think you'll see
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of more or different insanity. I think if
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you walk around, if you drive around at daytime, it'd
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: be a different vibe. I like the idea of driving
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: around at night and just seeing every one out partying
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: or having you know, maybe I'd probably not if I
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: had the absolute choice, I probably would go daytime. I
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: think daytime is more chances of just seeing Springfield being Springfield,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: if you're putting it that way.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Sure, I guess I'm just thinking about generally how I
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: like to drive when if I'm driving around sight seeing nice.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Nice warm nights with the windows, I met the window
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: would be cool. Cool music playing on you on your castereo.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: What would you be seeing? I'd like to not drive
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: past like the Aztec Theater or the Android, not the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the arcade. What's the ark noise Land Arcade? At night?
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Just seeing the bright lights of Springfield, Sure that would
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: be cool, but just driving around, Well, people are behaving
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: differently after day as well. Yeah, you're going to a
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: different type of people. I think you get more a
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: better idea of what Springfield is driving around on a
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. Nough, don't you reckon? Oh yeah, I just
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: seeing the kids being kids, And certainly both had their virtues.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm not suggesting one over the other, but I
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: like to know, I love the nightlife.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I like the boogie. Yes, all right, some more news.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: So this one here comes from comic book dot Com
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and they originally spoke with our man Matt Salmon. Our
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: dear friend, and he says, oh, he's my friend. Now,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that's nice, he's our friend. Yes. He reveals some details
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: about the new season. So the latest season, season thirty six,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: just ended for The Simpsons, and he's revealed some details
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: for season thirty seven. So he says, The Simpsons has
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: been officially renewed for not only season thirty seven, but
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: three additional seasons to take it all the way through
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to season forty, which we discussed last month. So to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: speaking to Cracked, Simpsons show runer Matt Salmone dropped a
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: big tease for what's to come in the new season.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Alongside teasing some of the characters who will be getting
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: spotlights of their own in the coming season, there's also
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: a tease of more Disney Plus exclusive episodes hitting in
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the near future too. He says, we're having fun digging
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: deeper into the side characters because we're doing a Chalmers
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: episode where he becomes a Menisphere kind of guru selling
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: male beauty products. HAA. We have a really terrific Lisa
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and Marge show about the culture of thrifting and why
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: that's so popular with kids. Another side character who we're
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: going deeper into is Professor Frink. We have a little
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: bit of his emotional backstory, which is exciting as well.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Plus there's one about the Quimby family, so that's.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I'm there for the Quimby episode. Absolutely. I liked the
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: idea of the charm was one. I think that's good.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like the Simpsons is finding its footing again.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: There was a period there, the Dark Ages. What was
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: it called? Is it the Dark Times? It was over
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: one call, yeah, for the Empire. So there was a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: period where I just felt that the Simpsons was just
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: there and it was just not putting out content that
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: really fans wanted. They've won a lot of people back,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm in particularly really excited to see I'm gonna
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: throw this out there. I think it's because Sale has
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: more control of what they're going on. Now someone's down, man,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: someone knows what Simpsons fans want. Now he's got more
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: control over things. I think we're starting to see more
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of what the Simpsons should be in twenty twenty five
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. So I'm excited for those kind of
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: side characters getting their own episodes. Yeah.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: No, Matt seems like he's very much on the ball
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: in terms of.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: He wants the Simpsons. He loves the Simpsons. He wants
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the Simpsonstist succeed. It's not like they've got people working
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: on the show that don't want it to be good.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: He wants it to be the best it could possibly be.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: No, absolutely, but you know it sounds like he's working
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: from a solid position of we've got this wealth of
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: characters who we're familiar with, maybe don't know or you know,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: they contain multitudes. Yes, we haven't had a look at yet,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: and also a matching of the characters. Would be interested
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: in seeing with stuff that's in the zeitgeist, that's in
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: the current conversation. I'll be very much looking forwarded. Like
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I said, I mean, any episode about the Quimby family
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I think would be great fun, particularly in these modern
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: political in this modern political climate, Freddy, It's gonna be great,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Bringing back Freddy Quimby Man? Some more news? Actually, get
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: some more questions now, so we get back to some questions.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: This one here says is from Steph. She is from,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't say where she's from. Steph says, you're now up
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: to season twenty, so you've now revisited many episodes of
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: the Simpsons. When do you genuinely think that the golden
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: era actually ended? So it seems to go to for
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the golden year of the Simpsons is seasons one to ten.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: People say one to nine, but many say one to ten,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: season tens.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Well, some even say like three to ten.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Three to ten, Yeah, you're right, yeah, So they say
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: three to ten is like the golden ear of peak Simpsons.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: There's two ways of looking at it. I do agree
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that's where Mike Sculley took over the show in season
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: at nine, and many people think that's where the birth
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: of Jerkass home and it became a real cartoon the
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Simpsons in season nine. I think my favorite ear of
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the Simpsons season seven eight. I will say there are
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: still good episodes through to I mean still now with
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: finding good episodes. I think after season twelve you can
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: say it's still really really good. There's some tripe in there,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but I think it's still really
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: really got. The season twelve, what's he like the teen era?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: It starts getting a bit shaky. You've got some great
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: episodes in there, but it starts getting more shaky than not,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't feel like the Simpsons that it once was.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: If I've been completely honest, though, I do agree. I
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: do think that two, not three. Two through to nine
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: is peak Simpsons. What you define is a golden era,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know the golden era. I guess you could say,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: is that that when it was at its peak. Yeah,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: that's not to say that anything through like nine through
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: to twelve thirteen isn't good. It's still a good era,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: it's just not quite what to through nine was. No,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, you've got to have your apex period,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: haven't you. But yeah, yeah, I think by the time
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: your teenage years, you'll regarded as kind of success. Not
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: that you're cruising or coasting on your laurels or resting
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: on your aurels or anything like that, but you've hit
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: this weird sort of stage where it's like, oh, you know,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: with the boss or at the top of the mountain,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But we've also got people
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: coming for the throne. Yeah, we have to do we
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: stay how we are? Do we evolve? Do we adjust?
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Do we try to be like something that's new or
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: you know, and you know, is that us selling out
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: or is that are just moving with the times. It's
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: a very complicated thing.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: South Park change things. A lot of people look to
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Family Guy and say, oh, because Family Guy became successful,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Simpsons trying to become Family Guy. South Park was that
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it's certainly more South Park and its south South Puck
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: was the reason Simpsons weren't the cool animated show anymore. Yeah.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I feel a bit bad for or the Simpsons
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: in that regard because, yeah, it's not like the Simpsons
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: had to change anything about it. So because they're two very,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: very different shows in so many ways. And yeah, if
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: the Simpsons was thinking, oh, we have to alter our
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: tone or our voice or something like that in order
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: to remain relevant, remain popular.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Or whatever, I feel that's a bit of a shame. Yeah. Oh,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I know, there's there's a room for both. I have
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: brought this up many times, and Mike was Mike Scully
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: when we interviewed and was talking about it how he
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: incorporated the nine to five mentality when he came to
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: the Simpsons writer's room for that peak period. It was no,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: you lived in the in the writer's room until we
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: got what we wanted right, And even then they weren't
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: quite happy, but they spent their lives in that writer's room.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Mike Scully is like, no, this is a job. You've
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: got families to go home to. And I think the
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Simpsons suffered as a result because they didn't have people
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: they might have gone, there's ten minutes left, let's just
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: go with this game.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: It's a good enough mentality.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that started to seep into the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: show to the point where the good enough mentality became
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: just the mentality. Yeah.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: And you realize, you know, even if you're not like
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: a comedy professional, even a comedy connosseewer, you kind of
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: go that joke needed one more draft. You could have
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: punched that up just a little bit more. Yep, you
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: settled for the second or third idea that you came
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: up with. It's like, no, you needed a little more time,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: just to put a bit more polish on that.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, I think it's great that
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: they incorporated the nine to five mentality the Simpsons if
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: it meant that the Simpsons were still going to be
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: seventy five percent of what The Simpsons is instead of
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And people get to go home to
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: their families at five o'clock every night. Yeah, I'm all
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: for it, you know what I mean. I'm not paying
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: for this entertainment. They're still entertaining me. But these people
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: deserve lives. They have kids at home. I think now
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: becoming a father, I think I see it more from
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: that perspective of it. You don't want to be you
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: want the Simpsons a bit the best it can be,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: but you also want to make sure that people work
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: on the show aren't burnt out either, and they have lives.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I get where you're coming from. Well, where
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: we're approaching. I guess life and create everything very different
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: positions in that you're a family man, I'm not. I
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: don't want to say, oh, look, it used to be
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: better when in certain ways, but I think you can
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: see as companies, producers, whatever, have become more cognizant and
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: more sensitive about hey, work life balance, don't burn yourself out,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: all that kind of thing. I think you know, there
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: was certainly a time and a place when it's like,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: no eyes on the prize, get it done, stay late, no,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: you know, no dinner breaks anything like that. Get the
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: work done. I don't like you like me, and I
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: don't know what's that saying you know, pressure makes diamonds. Look,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: there's still good stuff out there, absolutely, And I guessing
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm guessing a lot of stuff that I really
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: really enjoy has been made under circumstances.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: It's like, guys, it's just TV. Let's not kill ourselves here.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I get there also the feeling that there
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: was a lot of great stuff. Maybe it's like, no,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: we're staying until it's fucking done, until we cannot improve
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: there's anymore.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And if I watching those earlier Simpsons, don't you. Yeah. Yeah.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: So look, it's a tough one. I mean, no one
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: wants to work themselves to death. But at the same time,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: if you work yourself to death, then you've got something.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: That's why four figure discounts so good. Because I'm up
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: till two three am in the morning editing the ship,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: don't I know. Alrighty, So one more question that we're
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: getting some more news this when he.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Comes from Where's the name is from?
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Matt? That says, what is your favorite Simpsons tie in merch,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: whether it be a fast food happy meal toy or
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: something out of a chip packet like the Tazos as
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you like to call them. In Australia. What is your
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: favorite Simpsons Tye in merch. I'm a big fan of
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Tazos as a kid. If you go up the nineties,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Tazos were the thing that we all collected. What was
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: your what was the thing you guys collected was a
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: bubblegum cards, stickers, Oh yeah, cards, cars, Yeah, trading cards
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: were very big for us. That's still big for my generation.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: But then we had Tazo's in the chip packets and
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: that was like so cool. But no, cards have all types.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when certainly when I was a kid, I mean, sorry,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: we're not really talking Simpsons, Merchi Matt, but my.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Apockets, Simpsons tying his cards on the wall there, there's
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: all that stuff.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, but this is not something that I was buying
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: when when the Simpsons was on, and I was the
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: age that I was when it happened. Yeah, but yeah,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: certainly growing up, I mean yeah, footy cards every footy season,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: you'd just go wild for it. You'd spend all your
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: pocket money on it. Dad didn't get free footy cards. No, no, okay.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: The band Kiss were very big with trading cards. Really, yeah,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Because there was a phase in the late seventies early
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: eighties when Kiss was just like huge, especially huge in Australia.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: You got to respect that hustle.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Yeah, they were putting their brand on
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: just about everything. But yeah they had trading cards.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: And comic books and everything, didn't they.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Oh they had everything, but certainly trading cards. But and
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Star Wars cards. Star Wars cards were huge.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I was a big fan of trading cards
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: as a kid. You look back now and you think why.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: But it was just fun to collect, wasn't it.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean it was a real catch
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: them all, that's the thing. And it was a real
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: social experience as well, because like you'd meet it, you'd
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: meet a recess and that I'll give you two and
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: so and sover that for that one.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: You're not getting that. Oh I'm getting that. Let's make
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: a deal.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: So yeah, trading cards were probably the very big thing.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I have memories of I said, the tasos
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: CC's had these three D sort of motion Taso ones.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: They went around discs. They were little rectangle ones and
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: if you collected them all there were little pieces of
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: like a puzzle. So I think each one had like
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: sixteen cards and you get a little album and you
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: put them in and if you had them all it'd
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: make a little picture. They were pretty cool. They were
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: in CC's and I remember Simpson's Natalla glasses because all
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: through the supermarket recently, and Nicholas like, do you think
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: kids would like Natala? I thought maybe. I said, let's
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: see what glasses have got this time, And they don't
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: do it anymore. It used to be you buy Natala,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: it'd be in a glass jar. Once you finish the Natala,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: you get to kick the glass and used to have
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of simp one's doing that, and they don't
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: do that anymore. I thought, what a clever marketing campaign.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: It was buying the teller. You get the tailor and
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: you get a glass out of it. Yeah, so I
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: still have them from when else a kid? The Simpsons
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: and teleglasses they were great as well. So and there's
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: been some really good I.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Have bad news, Dan, your cat has just knocked them
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: off the shelf.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. It seems like the Simpsons
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: were always tied in with hungry jacks in Australia king
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: in America. So whenever you get Simpsons merchandise, it was
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: usually from Hungry Jackson. I had this Simpsons pencil case.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: It was about I don't know, twenty five centimeters long
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: little tin that you put your pens and your pencil
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: and your sharpener and stuff. And I use it at
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Primar School for like three years. That's fucking great. Yeah,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: so Simpsons time match is pretty pretty fun. All right,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: some more news. So recently it was announce that Pamela
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Hayden is retiring or like last year, she's retiring from
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: voicing Millhouse no longer doing that. They finally have revealed
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: who the new voice of Millhouse is going to be.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Tell me yeah, So she was the voice of the
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: latest episode of the season finale, but she voiced an
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: older version of Millhouse. Doesn't say if she's going to
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: be voice new younger version of Milhouse. Just says she's
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: going to be voicing Milhouse. So the first time we
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: heard her, she was voicing in and older Millhouse in
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: a flash forward. Her name is Kelly McLeod, So McLeod. Previously,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: she appeared on The Simpsons in twenty twenty two in
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: the season thirty three episode But the Cool Kids, she
• 43:17

• 43:29
  Speaker 1: produced by Eddie Van Halen and Ted Templeman. The band's
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: song Touched Me was featured on the soundtrack of both
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Wayne's World and Gremlin's to the New Batch ho It Moly,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: So she is showbiz lifer. Yeah. In twenty and nine,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: McLean McLeod sorry acted in the short film Slice of
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Pie and spent a decade with another band, the Sweet Potatoes.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: She released a solo album, Wide Open, in twenty twenty one.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: So a really left field choice. Absolutely, Usually they choose
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: a famous comedian or whatnot, And no, they've obviously just
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: gone for someone and they felt was probably best for
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the role. Well that's right, I mean.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is, yeah, you know, you'll find
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of voice actors actually have fairly wide ranging careers.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm thinking of say, Elizabeth Daily, who was
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: you know, the voice of Babe, but she was also
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: like an actor in various things e g.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Daily, eg Daily. Yes, Yeah, also known as Elizbeth Dawie. Yeah,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: she was. He's Tommy Pickles, Yeah, she was in Dottie

• 44:53
  Speaker 2: on the Max service here in Australia called Pee Wee
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: as Himself. We reviewed Pee Wee's Big Adventure, I think
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: for no on the movie Guy with Malton Davis, but
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: just us talking about it. You were a little bit
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: amused by it. I thought it was great. This is
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: a really good documentary about Pee Wee, Herman and Paul Rubens,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: the man who created.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: And played him.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Essentially, it's a really interesting look into the pea phenomena,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: but also just the active creation in that regard. It's
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: really really good, quite quite moving, actually, I got to say,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: so well worth checking.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Out for friends fans. E. G. Daly is the singer
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: of Smelly Cat. Correct.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, yeah, you'll find people like that who have
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: just sort of not necessarily drifted from role to role.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: But as we've talked about, you know, you do a
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: little bit of this, little bit of that, a little
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: bit of so and so, and it all comes together
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: to form quite a fulfilling body of work and career.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: She's most predominantly known as a voice actor though oh yeah,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: absolute powerpuff Girls, Rugrats Acy, but she also has like
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: a singing career as well. Yeah she has and all
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Yes, it wasn't one of her
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: songs in Peewee's. No, one of her songs was in
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: a major film, I think so, although I can't remember
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: off the top anyway. But yeah, So it turns out that, yeah,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Callum McLoud is the new voice of mille Us, at
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: least in the finale. I'm not sure if it means
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: going forward as a normal Millhouse, but we shall soon
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: find out.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to be announcing it. I imagine
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: we'll be hearing a bit more from Kelly macloud forward.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I've found the recent replacements for the voice
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: actors haven't quite been right for me. That ain't it, Chief, No,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: it just feels like they've hired their buddies. You know.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: They sound like somebody. It sounds like you're mate trying
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: to do a doctor Hibbitt or it sounds like you're
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: mate trying to do a Karl. It doesn't sound like Carl, all.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: The hosts of four Finger Discount imitating various characters.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so that is the new voice of Millhouse.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: So excited to see what she sounds like with normal
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Millhouse voices. Nice, good on your land on that gig, Kelly, Yes,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: get in the back, let's do a few more questions
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: and we'll get out of here. Okay, this one's for you, guy,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: This one's from Ted. Ted says guy, So this one's
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: for you. As I just said, do you have any
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: recent autobiographies that you can recommend it that I read?
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, that's a very good question, Ted.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: You're always talking about I'm reading this biography. I'm reading
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: this biograph at the moment.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not so many autobiographies.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Who was the one Billy Joels for My Wife or something?
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I haven't read the one by Christie Brinkley,
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: although that does sound very interesting.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, Ted, you've put me on the spot. What's one
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: that you read last?
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: The ones that are currently on the shelf, either I've
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: started or I'm about to start. There was the one
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: by Albercino called Sunny Boy, which is yeah, I've read
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: a bit of that and that was pretty good. Stanley
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Tucci seems to have like a real career in not
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: so much acting these days, although he still acts, but
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: he's more like I'm GoF to Italy or I'm about
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: to write a book about my life or whatever. He's
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: just written one called Things I Ate in one Year
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: bed that he's a really good storyteller.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: So I enjoyed that a whole lot.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: And any good documentaries you could recommend, well, well just recommended, yeah.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Something on Netflix. You've seen TV guy, Let's go t T.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, you would be aware of course of R. L. Stein,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: the writer of Goosebumps. Yeah yeah, he's written also these
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: other things called fear Street. They think of him more
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: of a grown ups late Teams eighteens perhaps, although yeah,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I mean Netflix has made a bunch of movies. Of those,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: there's one that's just dropped the street. Oh is that
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Fear Street prom Queen? Oh yeah, I have seen that. Actually, yeah,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't put two and two together. It's okay, look
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: there are four kids essentially. No, it's for for adults. Okay,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: it's more for adults because it gets pretty bloody.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: It's like a it's set in nineteen eighty seven, so
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: it's got that whole sort of eighties teen movie thing
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Is this the anthology ones where they did like a
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: nineties one as well?
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: It is, although this is different because they did Fear
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Street and there were three movies that were sort of interconnected.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Now this one's more of a standalone.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I do like the idea of anthology though.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, but this one is I think I
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: wrote somewhere. Look, these are corny and cheesy, but they
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: go down.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Easy's some that's goodsepops for you though, that's very much so. Yeah.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: So look, if you're in the move for something that
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know, there's got some good gory gags. In
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: it one or two decent one liners, but basically a
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: lot of photogenic teens are getting cut the hell up.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: He sounds like what I grew up horror, knowing horror
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: to be though. Oh yeah, yeah, it's kind of a
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: throwback to that stuff because even the Friday the third
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: franchise and Halloween, Halloween maybe not so much, but Friday
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: that they were corny.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: They're all the same. Yeah, and they're all very corny.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: You're right. I think Halloween was more of a serious
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: look at that. I mean, it was still silly, but
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I think I believed Halloween more than i'd believe Jason Vohes,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: like I believe Makolm Myers was a more realistic than
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jason Vohes. If that makes sense, it does, absolutely, Yeah,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Child from the Damn absolutely but ted.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Look some other older berry I recommend that I haven't well,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: I've read these while back, but certainly Mike Nichols a
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: life I had, very interesting one called Miss May does
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: not exist about Mike nichols gredit partner Elaine May.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Very good stuff.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm about to start one called The Past to Paradise,
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: which is about Francis Ford Coppler and especially the making
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: of Apocalypse now supposedly very very good, looking forward to
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: cracking that one.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Alright, now, I'm to jump into the Patreon group because
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: you posted this morning asked for some questions. Let's see
• 49:55
