And that's why I didn't have time to study from my geography test. Mart,
0:05
do you expect me to believe that that story is the biggest load of
0:09
crabapple making out with mol But I thought you didn't want a data tabynonna at
0:16
this point, all I wants a man with a healthy lorbido. Uh huh,
0:20
Well this is where it gets awkward again. Yeah, Ma, can't

Dude, Welcome to four Finger Discount, the podcast where we what do
0:51
we do? Mister Davis? We have an obsessive compulsitor disword on three four.
0:56
This week we hit the review episode h b F zero six. It
0:59
is the seeming never ending story. I am Dando joined right now by of
1:02
course, I am guy fresh from the pay chalet. Yes, as befits
1:07
the sort of all over the shop nature of this episode. That intro was
1:11
indeed all over the place, because we're just winging this one man. So
1:15
I had good memories of this episode. I remember really enjoying it. I
1:18
don't watched it several years ago, and I didn't mind it it's a fun
1:22
story. It just throws all logic out the window. So you can get
1:23
past the logic being thrown out the window. It's enjoyable. But I'm watching
1:26
when you're critique in this episode, I'm like, there are a lot of
1:30
questions being asked of me right now to ignore. Well, yeah, I
1:34
mean, I don't know. I personally think with season seventeen so far,
1:41
maybe with season sixteen as well, it's time to just throw continuity and all
1:46
that stuff out of the window. You know, I mean, stuff happens
1:49
in Springfield, it happens to the Simpsons family, happens with the people of
1:52
Springfield, and you really just got to roll with it. I think there
1:55
are certain fundamentals that will stay in place. But otherwise it's a good episode.
1:59
This in terms of it's about, you know, memory and subjective memory.
2:02
I mean, you're going to remember something different the way someone else remembered
2:06
it, So yeah, it kind of makes sense in that regard. But
2:09
you're right, it is a little higgalipigedly, but thought I had a lot
2:13
of fun with it coming. Yeah. I'm a sucker for stories within stories
2:15
within stories. You know, it's like, um, and this one did
2:19
it kind of well as far as I'm concerned, we live in the age
2:22
of origin stories, right Andy, the ones they gave us here. Whilst
2:25
illogical, we're a lot of fun. I loved and also depressing. I
2:30
love seeing young Edna arriving, missus k you know, bright eye, bushy
2:32
tailed, ready to take on the world, and then just and the same
2:36
with Snake and Springfield, just wearing them down and just turning them into the
2:39
into just broken people where Snake now becomes a criminal and missus kay is just
2:44
you know broken notes she she has to Springfield, she hates the bars and
2:47
the taverns and like kind of thing because of her ex husband. That's now
2:51
where she lives, you know what I mean. So I was depressing in
2:53
that aspect, but I did like the seeing a young missus Kaye just full
2:58
of life and ready to go. But it just made me sad at the
3:00
same time. Now, I want to talk about Indica for a moment,
3:04
particularly in relation to this episode. The voice seems different. Maybe she's just
3:09
trying to act younger. I guess, yeah, I mean it was Marshall
3:13
Wallace, but I guess you're just trying to put a younger spin on it.
3:15
But the thing is, though, can you tell your point and I'll
3:17
get onto my point what you're going to say about missus Ka the voice.
3:21
I mean, it didn't even seem younger. It just seemed like someone's doing
3:25
a not bad Marshal Wallace impersonation. I'm sure, mothers. Let's check.
3:31
Yes, it says he Maurice Maurice LaMarche. He's the voice. I didn't
3:36
realize he was on this instance. Yeah, he voices commanded mc bragg when
3:38
they're doing the Scavenger hunt and they're starting the Scamenger Hunt. But yeah,
3:42
it doesn't say Marshall Wallace. Then she usually is listed there, but I'm
3:44
assuming it would have been Marshall Wallace. But maybe it wasn't. I'm not
3:46
too sure, listeners, let me know what you think, because yeah,
3:51
I was like, it sounds like someone doing a good impersonation of eddicate or
3:54
doing their best indicate. Now, yes, said middlely. It is a
3:58
different sort of uh time period, and she's meant to be sort of younger
4:02
and more innocent, but she didn't feel younger and more isn't it just felt
4:04
like different despite appearances the country. I'm not complaining, but it was.
4:12
It was just something that I noticed so um anyway, but I'm sort of
4:16
leaping into favorite bits because the whole um, the whole Mo and Edna romance
4:25
such as summer romance, Yeah, summer love it. It happened so fast.
4:30
I just was really sweet and but also very I mean, maybe not
4:35
true to Edna so much as the way we know her now, but they
4:39
actually felt like kindred spirits and Mo felt like, you know, he wasn't
4:42
trying to be even though he was lying. Whole the whole thing was based
4:46
on lies, though it was, but it felt like it felt like genuine
4:48
Mo, even though he was lying because she wasn't loving a real person though
4:53
no true, it felt like the best version of more. Yeah. Yeah,
4:57
yeah, It's like this is this is what he could have been or
5:00
even to a better person. But the second he doesn't get his own way,
5:01
I was like Kendle in succession, you, I think you've watched the
5:04
show, But the second that guy doesn't get his own way, it's becomes
5:06
a perpetiant little baby. That's exactly what happens to the mode here. I've
5:11
got um, yeah, I've got to catch up with a succession. I
5:14
think I've watched maybe like half of the first season, Okay, And it's
5:18
not like I didn't like it or anything like that. It's just like,
5:20
all this is one of those things that I'll leave you feeling empty. The
5:25
finale ad this week, and Nicola and I just little at each other afterwards
5:28
and went, oh, that just happened. From what I understand, it
5:31
is pretty sort of bleak. Yeah, I won't spoil anything obviously. No,
5:36
Yeah, they're kind of spoiled from myself already. I mean, I
5:40
didn't It didn't strike me as the kind of show that was like, and
5:44
here's a twist at the end. It was more that's the thing the entire
5:46
time, We're going, what's a twist going to be? Because we're so
5:48
used to shows having twists. Now, Yeah, there never really was a
5:53
twist, And if there was a twist, you could see it coming two
5:55
episodes in advance. He saw it was a twist in there. Well,
5:58
but the way the show was plant was mac down you could see it coming,
6:01
you know. All Right, Well that's best ssion. That's enough about
6:05
That's enough about that show. Let's keep talking about this show. Although we
6:09
might do a succession pod If Everyone Wants to LEAs One actually won the Primetime
6:15
Emmy Award for Outstanding achieve It in the Field of Excellence, as well as
6:18
the Outstanding Program oh My God Outstanding Animated Program for Programming less than one Hour
6:26
At the thirty fourth and the Awards. Episode and episode writer Ian Maxtone Graham
6:30
won the award for Best Writing in an Animated Television Production. So people will
6:33
big fans of this episode where it originally aired. As you were saying,
6:36
it's a lot of fun throws, lots you get the window, but sometimes
6:39
you just gotta do that when you want to have some fun, switch your
6:41
brain off and just you know, some of the best action movies that I
6:44
love ones were just gonna switch your brain off and just enjoy what you're watching.
6:47
But I did want to bring up you shared a video this week on
6:50
social media that is very relatable to when I say modern Simpsons, I mean
6:56
season seventeen Simpsons and beyond right, And it was Tray and Matt from South
6:59
Park talking about therefore and but yes right instead of and then. So how
7:06
often do we review these episodes and it feels like, as you always say,
7:10
a bunch of stuff and stuff that happened. This is happening, and
7:13
then this is happening, and then this is happening, and then the ending
7:15
ends, and there isn't really an ending, right, Yeah, but our
7:18
boys try and Matt in this video and it only goes for three minutes.
7:20
I'm assuming you know. They gave a longer lecture to the film students at
7:25
New York University. It blows your mind, but honestly, they just distill
7:28
it down to just three minutes. And Trey himself says, look, it
7:32
took me ages to learn this, but once you get it, it's like,
7:35
oh, okay, yeah, this makes sense, and this is how
7:38
you tell stories. And the upshot of it is if you have an incident,
7:42
then you have to ask the question or the next step is, Okay,
7:46
this happened, therefore this happens, or this happens, but that happened,
7:51
and it's like that's how you tell a story. That's how it moves
7:54
forward, as opposed to oh, this happened, and then this happened,
7:57
and then this happens. No, this happen, therefore this happens. All
8:01
this happens, but that happened because I sent to Nicola that the perfect example
8:05
is like season seventeen seems it happens earlier as well. But it's like,
8:09
you know, you get to the end of the first act, how often
8:11
it has happened this in particular, in particular this season, Right, we
8:13
get to the end of the first act and it's like, oh, so
8:16
this is the story for the episode. The first five six minutes, we're
8:18
inconsequential to the actual stories, Like you could have cut that all out,
8:22
like to say, for example, when you know when Bart gets center,
8:24
when we're on the road to Doughware and Bart's getting sent away to the camp,
8:28
right, you know that they didn't like Bart doing something naughtiest. So
8:31
for the entire first act it was like Bart being naughtiost like, do we
8:33
have to have all this again? Like this this happens, and then this
8:37
happens, and then this happens. And as you're saying, Trey and Matt,
8:39
this happens. But the studd that happened in the second act can't happen
8:41
unless the stuff that happened in the first act happened. Has it all flows
8:45
us to flow on effect, and I just it blew my moment. I
8:48
watched as I was like, no, wonder, South Park is so fucking
8:50
good. Indeed, having said that, you know, something else we talk
8:54
about when we talk about recent episode the Simpsons is that sometimes they can feel
8:58
like this idea isn't good enough for a whole episode, but neither this one.
9:03
So let's jam them together and maybe they'll, you know, they'll make
9:07
it up an entire episode. And often it was like, this is like
9:11
Frankenstein's Monster, It's Ugly's gonna kill me. It's three different stories that you
9:16
feel I could have been an episode, but that has crammed him into this.
9:18
Yeah, yeah, here the Scavenger Hunt episode, I don't know.
9:22
I don't think it'd be a whole episode. Maybe it could have the summer
9:24
romance between Mo and Edna, I don't know. But distilling them I love
9:31
good Scavenger Hunt, it's pretty good. But distilling them down to just their
9:37
their essence, the best parts of them, and then having them as chapters
9:41
or installments or bits and pieces of a bigger episode. I think it works
9:46
really well in this case because they realize, yeah, we can't stretch it
9:50
out, so let's shrink it down, concentrate it, you know, make
9:52
a nice red One's juice to put on. Yes, yes, this is
9:58
this episode is a lot of fun, illogical but fun. Much like four
10:01
Figured Discat, much like My life. Yes, hey, my favorite.
10:07
What were your favorite moments from the episode, mister Davis, Well, really
10:11
it was primarily the romance between between Mo and and I just I don't know,
10:18
I like, like, I liked the whole feel of it, just
10:20
that visually, I thought it was fantastic. Um, you've written down here,
10:24
nice ascot on. You know, the way he's dressed up. Ye,
10:30
But she's bringing out the best in him. Yeah, and he's not
10:31
the real him, but she's she's if you are, like, if she
10:35
hadn't gone into that school, Mo would have become a better person. Yeah,
10:37
And it feels like a nice sliding doors moment for Form who was a
10:41
character I do like. So I think that was probably my favorite part of
10:46
the entire episode. I mean, also just the way Moho expressed himself when
10:50
he's talking about no same gen the rack of an angel. I knew you're
10:54
gonna like that line. I'm like, I will like this. I've got
10:56
that I will love that. But the thing is, though it sounds mislogynistic,
11:03
but like, that's the nicest. That's the nicest thing I can say,
11:07
Like, that's that's that's Mora being the best version of Moe. You
11:09
know, it's as nice as he can be. I love the fact I
11:11
didn't know I didn't know where it came from. I've used it numerous times.
11:16
The Moe throwing Barney out of the bar meme came from this episode.
11:18
Yeah. I was like, oh man, that's been used so many times.
11:22
It's like the perfect visual for a meme when you want to say you're
11:26
trying to get rid of something and it keeps coming back. It's perfect,
11:28
and it was in this episode. But I also got a big kick out
11:31
of the mirror bate and switch where he shot Burns in their head because when
11:33
he first shot him, I was about to that typing gif fuck as if
11:37
this oh you got me, you got me. I thought it was going
11:41
to be one of those usual you know, Burns is can survive anything,
11:43
you know, when when he slaps him in the back of the hand,
11:46
goes through the chest and shit like that, which which really annoys me.
11:48
But he shot him in the head. I was like, Okay, he
11:50
shot him in the head. There's no way he's surviving. Oh it's just
11:52
a mirror. Well playing, well player, you got me? We'll played
11:56
Simpsons. Yes, all right, mister Davis, it's time for something trivia.
12:01
What's your first question for the seemingly never ending story? Start with your
12:05
sexiest one? Oh gosh, okay, in the graveyard? Can you name
12:11
the sexy? Three? What's that that's sexy? That's sexy? Can you
12:16
name three? Or Burns as relatives? I didn't write those down? What
12:20
are they? Can you tell me? I'll give you all five? There
12:22
is that I saw anyway. Agatha Cotton, Rutherford Stewart, and Mildred all
12:30
have tombstones in the in the graveyard and they're all Burns. Is they are
12:35
all Burns? As ye? I wasn't sure they're going to go for a
12:37
gag or like him being related to Hitler or something like that. My first
12:43
question is actually related to to tombstones. Whose tombston did mister Burns have in
12:46
the back of his car as part of the scavenger hunt. He was driving
12:50
with Smithers and there was a tombstone in the back. Oh man, it's
12:54
a character that they love having callbacks too. And every time it always works
12:58
because everyone just has this love for the character. One time only character one
13:01
time was moving. No, no, no, it's Frank Grunt, Frank
13:03
Grimes Grimmy, that's right. Yeah. I don't know why how I made
13:07
that connections like it was bleeding us with it. No, no, it
13:11
was the complete opposite of skinny little light Man. What year was Carl's cave
13:20
discovered by Carl's dad? Oh, I had I was gonna write that only
13:22
fifty six. I think it wasn't nineteen fifty six. Speaking of can remember
13:26
we did that episode where it was Carl's from Iceland? I'm so was he
13:31
from Iceland? I don't know. That just really did a number on you,
13:33
didn't it You would just spend I was not happy. I was so
13:37
sad that day. My next question is either the power plant is on this
13:43
or is where mister Burns lives? What is the address? Lisa says,
13:46
I'm off to well, no, mister Burns says, I'm off to this
13:50
way. When he realizes that he's got the photo, it's one hundred industrial
13:54
way. It was indeed, Yet, Okay, we need more because I've
13:58
got one more for I hit me one more and I hit you of one
14:01
more as well. Ye okay, where was mister Burns born? Where Pangaea
14:07
Pangaea? Mhmm. I was interested to know what his email might be.
14:09
What do you make mister Burns's email would be? I feel like it's something
14:13
that Smithers would have made it for him. Mister Burns wouldn't have made it.
14:16
So would you just get the simple light you know, see Montgomery at
14:20
hotmail dot com Or do you think he would have made it something because mister
14:24
Burns wouldn't check his emails ever, would he? Missus Smith would be doing
14:26
turned me on Burns brilliant boss or something like that, you know, yeah?
14:31
Um, And my final question will be what have we got? I
14:35
actually had the nine fifty six is one of my questions and even realized,
14:37
so I'm gonna make one up on the spot here mob was head into the
14:39
supply store to get what um urinal cake mix? Yeah, that was another
14:46
line. I really liked a lot of mosingers in this episode. Yeah,
14:50
this is a good performance from one from Hank for sure. The fourth Figure

15:35
was March twelve to two thousand and six numbers. So, David, I'm
15:37
not doing the Blockbuster Brainbuster anymore. It just takes up too much of our
15:41
time. But I will tell you it hurt my brain. Well, I
15:43
will tell you what the top three films at the box office were when this
15:46
episode originally aired for that week they were Failure to Launch was number one,
15:50
The Shaggy Dog was number two, and The Hills Have Eyes was number three,
15:54
Hills Have Eyes. That was a movie that I haven't watched since I
15:56
watched the first time, but I remember it's scaring the shit out of me.
16:00
It's really nasty. Yeah, we've talked about the first two. We
16:03
talked about, Yeah, Yeah, Failure to Launch with McConaughey and Sarah Jessica
16:07
Parker and The Shaggy Dog with Tim Allen, and yeah, but the Hills
16:11
Have Eyes. That's a remake of a seventies movie by the late great Wes
16:15
Craven who made the Screen Movies, in which a family is traveling through the
16:22
deserts on their way to California. Except what's living in the desert but a
16:26
bunch of a freaky family made into hostile mutants by radioactivity and all that kind
16:33
of business, and they're out to kill and dare I say eat this all
16:37
American family that then has to fight back. It's this This remake is really
16:44
actually really good. Often with horror, not necessarily slasher horror, but like
16:49
other versions of horror, but this kind of thing, the remakes are usually
16:52
pretty good because that the special effects are usually better. Absolutely, Yeah,
16:56
I mean, got a really good cast and a fantastic director named then when
17:02
want to do another remake um Pirana three D, which is one of my
17:06
favorite horror movies of the twenty teens. It's so gross. Yeah, it's
17:12
so much fun, speaking of the logical but fun three D. Oh,
17:18
so much fun. But yeah, he'll have eyes. Um. Look,
17:21
if you've got a strong stomach and a strong constitution. Yeah, but when
17:23
just check it out if you dig horror movies, know a similar kind of
17:26
movie that I loved when it first came out. I haven't watched it for
17:30
so long, I have to revisit it. Wrong Turn. Remember Wrong Turn?
17:33
I remember being so so called off Garba. How much I enjoyed that
17:37
movie Wrong Turn? Yeah. Yeah, and they made like five or six
17:40
of them. Yeah, but the first one is the one that matters.
17:41
That's the one I remember. I remember the chick with the red hair getting
17:45
the barbed wire like through the mouth at the start, on the side of
17:48
the road. I remember that that death. But like you, I love
17:49
the good. Just like Mutant, he'll be really kind of like just coming
17:52
and killed things. I just love that kind of story. Yeah, it's
17:55
it's always fun. And I loved Wrong Turn. I thought it was awesome.
17:57
Yeah, I know slight of the sequels a little bit, but honestly
18:03
wrong Turn two Cold Dead End is that by the way, it's it's really
18:11
good. It's got a lot, it's got some great kills. Um yeah,
18:15
and you know, interesting characters now it works really well. The rest
18:18
of them are kind of kind of junk. That's the thing. You sort
18:21
of watch those movies just for the creative ways to kill people, and that's
18:23
what's sort of like John Wick's become, hasn't it. How's he going to
18:26
kill these people? I remember there's the one with the pen the pencil and
18:29
like John Wick three, and I was like, this movie has just become
18:32
fucking John Wick kill port. I watched Wick four any good the other night.
18:37
It really loves a lot of it. It goes for nearly three hours
18:41
and not a lot happens in it. You know. It's but at the
18:45
same time, yeah, look I didn't I didn't dislike it. I was
18:51
talking about it with my good friend Anthony, who's a real you know actution
18:55
movie efficionado were sort of saying, yeah, look it's great. I mean,
18:57
it's beautifully made, and you know, the locations are fantastic. Ken
19:02
Is really good. It's gotta all star cast of action heroes. But you
19:07
know, when you look at it's like there's maybe six scenes or six things
19:11
that happened in this movie, and that for a movie that goes three hours,
19:12
kind of like Kevin Goes capping the watch. Yeah, I'm terrible at
19:21
keeping promises. And you know, I really shouldn't say, hey, I'll
19:23
do movie gays on this because I maybe never will, but maybe I should.
19:26
So are you're going to see me? Do it? Pad Spider Verse
19:30
two whatever it's called. What's what's the actual tier called? It's across the
19:33
Spider Verse. Yeah, I'm let's wrap this up because I got a good
19:37
malm when he go see it. Yes, yes, we want a movie,
19:38
guys, A little while, guy, a little review on that one.
19:41
For sure, make that happen. Let's have all the things you gotta
19:42
do. That's the one you're gonna make happen. And by the way,
19:47
sub number four just quickly was sixteen blocks your man, Bruce Willis, wasn't
19:51
it. Oh yeah, the movie as well. I remember enjoying that as
19:53
well. That's a solid one. That's like the unofficial die Hard sequal before
19:59
the crap I had set so that was number four when this at the box
20:03
office when this episode originally aired. But the episode was written by E.
20:07
M. Stone Graham. As we said earlier, he won the Emmy,
20:10
and it was directed by Raymond s Percy and Maurice LaMarsh as Commander mcbragg.
20:15
There wasn't no chalk graun at the catch gag. What's that you're laughing about?
20:17
Something? That's what are you laughing about? About? The lovely Day?
20:21
My name was Raymond Percy, like something Homer would say when he wants
20:26
to get mister Burns Martin Prince. Isn't your name Raymond Percy Percy? Make
20:36
sure he's still with us, so we're not hanging shit on a dead person.
20:38
Also, there'll be a picture of him. He's going to be built
20:41
like John Center or so he's um. So he's written some awesome episodes of
20:47
the Simpsons, so he wrote um. He wrote twenty four Minutes, which
20:51
is an episode that I absolutely love. It's the twenty four parody, so
20:53
um was it directed? And he was a director of an episode. He's
20:56
also a director of Mobile Hume, which didn't really enjoy. But the girl
21:00
was slept too little when at least sleeps in the Semishode was a good one
21:02
as well, plus some others coming up in the in the new future.
21:04
But yes, so having a shit on Raymond to you, everybody loves when
21:10
these directorial skills just just his poncy name, standing up for yourself, point
21:12
dexter. All right, And there was no chalk gag, but the couch
21:18
gag was it's got here the couch with Marge, Maggie, Barton, Lisa
21:22
on It is delivered to the living room via conveyor belt and stops in front
21:26
of the TV. Homer is added on by a mechanical arm and the couch
21:29
continues onward. All right. So the episode kicks off with the family entering
21:33
Carl's dad's caverns, but realize that they're on a nature walk. And I
21:37
did not like this at all, where Lisa gives him a nickel in the
21:40
bottle to keep me entertained. I'm like, bart is not this stupid.
21:42
I don't like this just felt silly to me. I was not a fan
21:45
of that. But they find the finger of Testini. I think that's what
21:48
they call it, the guide of pointing down. There was a few question
21:52
a few questionable lines in this episode, such as silly Indians, well product
21:57
of this thing where it's like, no, no, you're not meant to
22:03
be thinking we're making fun of Indians. We're making fun of Homer for making
22:04
fun of Indians because he's a bigot. It's like, I don't know,
22:08
girl, it sounds like you want to have it both ways. He fell
22:11
asleep on the job. He says that his guy made their god. Then
22:15
Homer takes a little tiny chip to put in his desk at work and he
22:18
creates his giant syncol They all fall down and he has to be saved by
22:22
how do he has it? I think he says tasting the genius? He
22:25
says something different, doesn't he I'm going to disrespect our American friends here because
22:30
I've noticed they do this a bit um. Certain letters at the start of
22:37
things are often silent. I mean the tea at the start of Sister Nagenie
22:41
is not meant to be pronounced much like And this happened when the X Men
22:45
movies came out. Everyone's saying, hey, it's Professor Charles Xavier. No,
22:49
that's just Xavier Xavier Xavier. Yeah exavior, Yeah it was, but
22:56
was it xavier. Is that how it was supposed to be pronounced like in
22:59
that world? I don't think so. I think everyone I think they looked
23:02
at and go, well, if we pronounce it zev, people are going
23:03
to see words in X men. Wor isn't it z men because it's spelled
23:08
X pronounced z I the conversation they had in the boardroom, I wouldn't be
23:14
surprised if it's zev yet, then why isn't it it's man? Yeah,
23:21
we're going to get letters. The X very important in x men, so
23:26
make sure you make sure you are you say the X. Yeah, indeed,
23:30
But I look, I would pronounce this cisterna genie but but maybe yeah.
23:37
But in the episode, they are pronouncing it. So Homer gets stuck.
23:41
Though he says he needs to pee now, he's just now, he's
23:42
just stuck so obviously his pants. Margin says, I'm gonna go get We'll
23:47
get the fireman that got you off the ride that time or whatever, And
23:48
I'm like, how exactly you're stuck in this hole? Yeah, there's there
23:53
shouldn't be any other entrances to this place, which is which is what raises
23:56
questions at the end I was like, how did everyone just like like or
24:00
sort of just arrive out of nowhere? Were they in there as well?
24:03
These guys fell down a hole that was not there beforehand into this like cavern
24:07
down the bottom. Then all of a sudden, Burns arrives and the ticks
24:11
and arrives and snake comes down with his sun from the roof. I'm like,
24:12
where the fuck did they come from? This is why I don't go
24:17
caving or exploring or splunking. The idea of caving terrifies me. Like you
24:21
see some videos with people in these little tiny cracks and they're trying to get
24:25
through it, and I'm like, no way. You could not pay me
24:27
a million dollars to do that. No way, I wouldn't do it,
24:30
no way, no day, forget about it. No, I'm just thinking
24:33
about it makes me sick. I just I'm very bad with tight spaces.
24:37
But I just don't think I could do it at all. I just not
24:41
a chance at all. Yeah, but they point out that this place is
24:44
not on the map, so they go looking for a way out. I'm
24:47
like, good luck, okay, fun with that one. Good luck with
24:51
that. Listener says she's going to tell a story to keep home or occupied,
24:53
but no unicorns at Homer says. So, she mentions how she was
24:56
walking home from school last week through the forest, randomly through the forest the
25:00
way home from school, and a ram starts charging her. I was walking
25:04
home from school when suddenly I hurt, Oh, hello, mister big horn
25:11
sheep. I've read about you. You're shy and you're rarely approach humans.
25:21
And of course he'd never attack a fellow beast, liberal mit it. Yeah,
25:38
So when the ram burst through the window, so lets her in to
25:41
get us to safety. Right when the ram burst through the window, you
25:45
can actually see the necklace on the rams horn, right, And every time
25:49
you see the ram going forward you don't see the necklace. I'm thinking,
25:52
if you're going to go through that much trouble to put the necklace there for
25:56
that shot but then not include it going forward, might as well not have
26:00
at all, because it doesn't make sense that it was there. Then it
26:03
wasn't there because there's nowhere else for it to hide. On the ram's horn,
26:06
it's either there, it's not the enemy hanging there. So when it
26:07
burst through the window initially into mister Burns's house, you see it hanging there,
26:11
but then when it's chasing after him down the hallway, it's not there
26:14
anymore. I get where you're coming from, and you make a great deal
26:17
of sense, but also I don't really care. So the he destroys the
26:23
extraal table as its chased him, they get to the panic room and the
26:26
passwords Pangaea and the password has been emailed at him. How often do you
26:29
forget your your passwords? Should I cop to this in public? Because for
26:34
a lot of my accounts, I only have one. I knew. I
26:37
just felt like that would be the answer for you. You have the same
26:38
password for everything, and it's Guy Davis sexy man, or it's just like
26:44
Guy Davis sixty nine to be telling everybody, yeah, no, no,
26:52
but the Balkan the one thing, or it was like, hey, you
26:59
need to have this and this like okay, I'll add this variation. Yeah,
27:03
but occasionally, like if it's something that I don't use or I know
27:06
I'm only going to use online and it's like or on a specific computer,
27:10
and then'll be like, okay, finally I'll accept the suggested strong password.
27:15
That's just you know, this incredible long remember letters and symbols that you never
27:19
never, never remember. Most of the time, I'm pretty good with passwords,
27:22
and then it'll be like, no, it's not that. And then
27:26
but it will say, hey, this password requires this, and it's like,
27:29
oh, okay, it's the other one. It's planned b. So
27:32
it's just like the do you have many different passwords for different a lot of
27:36
different passwords, but I have a little book that has them all in it,
27:37
so write them all down. I'll forget. But I just think it.
27:40
Imagine being like a just mean, like a hacker, right and finally
27:44
realizing you've cracked the password of like some famous celebrity for their Twitter account.
27:48
The thrill of that moment must be so awesome, know you Now you're now
27:51
controlling the Ashton Koch's Twitter. Isn't that the isn't that the creeper like you
27:56
know, busted into the cloud and got all Jennifer Lawrence's nude though I don't
28:00
know, well, people have the systems all the time, and I'm not
28:03
just saying the nu people that release nude picks are like terrible and like I
28:07
made the choice never look those up because it's like they were taken in If
28:11
you go on Playboy or something. That's different. But if you if your
28:14
nudes have been leaked, that is the biggest breach of privacy because the thing
28:18
is, for example, you're gonn take into account the way I see.
28:19
I'm just like because my friend was like, oh, Jennifer Lawrence nuds out,
28:22
and I'm like, I just say I was famous and someone found nudes
28:26
of Nicola and put them on the internet, like it would be. I
28:30
just couldn't imagine the embarrassment for Nicola, and like, I would hate to
28:33
think that everyone's out there like looking at Nicola was no clothes on, right,
28:36
So I make the deliberate choice to not do the same. But if
28:38
they pose naked, that's different, right, That's true. Just go watch
28:42
Red Sparrow. What's what's Red Sparrow? It's a movie. The Jennifer Lawrences
28:47
are appeasmember. She was like the last big one where remember there was like
28:53
heaps of nude leaks at the time, would like someone broke in and like
28:56
leaked everyone's nudes at that time, didn't there She was like the she was
29:00
like a list that the atime she's not really She's still a list, but
29:03
she's not really she sat taking back with step now and actually gonna be a
29:07
mother souon what she No, she she's had a kid, she had he
29:11
waste. Yeah, but yeah she I think she gave her mortic an interview
29:15
where she said, I didn't really have a lifetile decide to go get one.
29:18
So yeah, that makes sense. I mean she's respectively got it one
29:22
maybe two oscars already, and you know, should turn her money from being
29:25
in the Hunger Games movies and the X Men movies and all that kind of
29:27
stuff. So yeah, and I think she can just like I think I
29:30
might kick back and enjoy it for a while and more power to Yep.
29:33
Yep. But mister Burns and Lisa they hide in the attic. But first
29:37
of all, he goes up the chair on the stairs and I'll just get
29:40
missus deagle vibes from Gremlins into that chair. Oh yeah. But yeah,
29:44
So they're hiding in the attic. Smith's is out getting a spray ton,
29:45
and Lisa then finds the Employee of the Month award for mo for Moss,
29:49
where he starts the man's a walking crimsical. Yeah, they start. He
29:53
starts telling the story that he was part of the Excluders Club. Han't interrupts,
29:57
saying, you know, now you're telling Burns the story, and she
30:00
says he compares the two. You know, when you watch old home videos,
30:03
if you watching TV. Oh, it makes perfect sense. Now and
30:06
that's a good comparison. That makes perfect sense. So as opposed to the
30:08
play and within the play in Hamlet, you work at most Yes, there
30:15
lies a tale of woo and heartbreak. When I couldn't possibly recount, I
30:19
understand, I just read a magazine. Okay, here's the story. I
30:23
belonged to a very exclusive club, the Excludier's Club. One day while I
30:30
was savoring the exclusivity. Wait, wait, wait, wait, now you're
30:34
telling me Burns his story. Yeah, it's like the play within a play
30:38
in Hamlet. Let's see, it's like when you watch old home movies of
30:42
you watching TV. Gotcha? One day a new member arrived at the club.
30:51
Who's this drat upole apric card. Yeah, I'm in oil. What's
30:56
your racquet? Slim new club power? They make money using my brain nuts,
31:03
sticking a pool in the ground and praying for good. You need to
31:07
get your hands dirty. Point extra devilment, A little Texas crude down in
31:15
Houston. We call that a fort Worth shampoo. Sir, hey challenge you
31:21
to a dude. You got it a bullet in the brain at high now,
31:29
my ads, they could kill me. Hello about we settle things with
31:32
a scavenger hunt. You're on twigget sorry about that. I'm just I'm a
31:37
big fan of a scavenger hun. When's the last time you did a scavenger
31:40
hunt? We actually hosted one for our radio show when I was on k
31:42
Rock well ten to fifteen years ago, and people went wild for it.
31:47
It was like people loved it. How many what sort of items did they
31:51
have to get? It was things like you know, photos are certain landmarks
31:53
in Geelong. But there was one where I was like, like we didn't
31:59
say which specific store it was to get a kebab from a specific store,
32:01
but there was clues which store it was, and like if you if you
32:05
got the kebab from the right store, once you had finished the kebab,
32:07
then you would be given the tokens. People were going to these kebab stores
32:10
buying a kabab, eating it and then the guy was like, I know
32:13
what you're talking about. It so like it was just so that's the way
32:16
we sort of got sponsors for the for the thing because various stores were getting
32:20
promotion as a result at the end. Yeah, that's very clever, Dan.
32:25
The rule was that you weren't allowed to tell the person in the kebab
32:29
shop about the scavenger hunt. So it was just like either they knew or
32:32
they didn't. And like they said, so many people would just be like,
32:36
what scavenger hunt? What are you talking about? It? Like,
32:42
but the next morning here and they've got ten items to collect when it takes
32:45
all And what did you think of the dream on bitch line from from Burns?
32:50
Yeah, it doesn't fit Burns. I don't think doesn't Burns. I
32:53
mean that it's yeah, just one of those things where you have a character
32:59
who normal, he wouldn't say stuff like that, Bob Barker, Bob Barker.
33:02
At least at least it worked there though, because he was responding to
33:07
what happy Gilmoitead said that is correct. This didn't really work. So I
33:10
worked the montage of them collecting things like suspenders. They each take one of
33:14
Lenny suspenders, his pants fall down, the letter I from the Springfield sign
33:17
Homer's hand to take one hair each. Then they need a photo with a
33:21
smiling child, and mister Burns tries to get one on the school bus and
33:23
it's just not happening at all, and the rich textle wins because he gets
33:27
one with the Jimbo. Jimbo was happy to be part of it, gets
33:29
the photo there. I think I think it was jim It was a gim
33:30
It looked like Jimbo, right, was it Jimbo? I think so,
33:32
yeah, yeah, And he rides smithers out out of the office or out
33:37
of the out of the room. Then Burns. He spends three days or
33:40
three nights with his unrelatives at the cemetery, and he says, I'm gonna
33:44
way out from bottom. I'm gonna whip my way up to Mo's first,
33:45
or from Mo's first, to get to get to the bottom. So he
33:49
enters. I did not like this next bit here of Homer just and co
33:51
just mocking Burns. I'm like, what is happening here? You know?
33:53
And it's one of those gags that just goes on a bit too long.
33:58
Yeah, you know, it thinks that it's being smarter than it is by
34:01
you know, Homers dancing like a jerk forever, and it's like, oh,
34:06
yeah, he's gonna look like a jerk later when he does that.
34:07
It's like, I get what you mean. But this was just poorly executed.
34:13
It's a good idea at a bit idea, let's poorly executed at five
34:16
fifteen an hour. It would take an eternity to make my fortune back,
34:21
and Faker wasn't helping do. But then, for once in my life,
34:25
things went my way. I steamed a little open with Moo's cappuccino machine.
34:37
If you're reading this, I am dead and you are about to learn the
34:39
story of my treasure. Treasure treasure who has a cappuccino machine. We come
34:47
back and margin Bart. They couldn't find a way out, but Bart ruined
34:51
some cave paintings. One of the lines he wrote was I want to have
34:52
your calf, but at least I wants to have it keep with it whatever
34:59
anyway. That tells people like the type of gross joke that you would make
35:04
at the expense of a little sister. Though it's such a random although not
35:07
at this age when you take into account the set up here like where where
35:10
they are, the situation you could have had this anywhere. It's such a
35:15
random set up for them or to be in this cave. But don't you
35:17
think, like there's no need the cave itself. The any pay off it
35:21
is that Marge throws the gold down the hole at the end. But yeah,
35:23
it's like it just seems like such an odd situation for the family to
35:28
have found themselves in to tell this story, Well, I've got to be
35:30
somewhere where, you know, they can't get out. Find an easier reason
35:34
for Lisa to tell a story without episodes of people tell the stories in the
35:37
past was from the living rooms, So what do they need to be tracked
35:38
in a cave? I don't know, doesn't animated the living room. It's
35:43
like, think, let's give the animals a little thung. But he's he's
35:45
heading to the supply store to buy some euro cake mix. He gets hit
35:49
by the bus. Missus k gets off the bus and she the rack of
35:52
an angel. She talks about how her X was a drunk. She hates
35:54
all the bars and saloons and taverns. So he obviously lies because he wants
35:59
a piece of her. So he says that he's a therapist for alcoholics,
36:01
So he says, he get rid of all the garbage my friends otherwise knows
36:05
my best friend, so he throws them all out in this week. Get
36:07
the Moo Barney means so awesome. Then they're having a great summer missus Ka
36:12
and Moo. They're loving each other and the loving life. And she says
36:15
she's gonna be teaching fourth grade. The other question I have for this episode
36:17
was that the timeline of things right, So missus k apparently arrives at Springfield
36:22
when Bart's already in fourth grade. I must confess that did sort of take
36:29
my brain and give it a little bit of a Chinese burn. Yeah,
36:31
it's like, what's going on there? What am I turning in the dando
36:37
worrying about timelines? It just felt because as they're driving off here you see
36:42
Martin and Nelson playing with each other, and I was like, wait,
36:44
so the kids at the normal age missus Kay is like really young, they're
36:49
playing with each other. Didn't playing it again? Time to kinde shut up?
36:52
Shut up and like track lightning, Well, one of them's having fun.
36:58
The guys that approach Mo they can find him because you know, they
37:00
want their drink. They feel sober because he's not helping him get drunk,
37:05
and he said, I'm going to out the one of you that is gay,
37:07
And yeah, that just feels like again a zinger with no foundation in
37:15
Springfieldian reality. No, it's more like I mean that it's it's a really
37:20
sort of old zinger. That kind of one was like, yeah, I've
37:23
told all the girls here one of you was gay. Have fun guessing which
37:27
one it's like or whatever. It's like, that's a bit kind of hackish.
37:32
Mo. He wanted to get out of Springfield, but he needed money.
37:37
So this is where Snake fortunately arrives. But he's not Snake yet is.
37:40
He is Professor jail Bird, as we will soon find out. And
37:44
he's an archaeologist who has got to He's found some money from gold. He
37:46
wants to donate it to the Natural History Museum in Springfield, but Most says
37:52
he can't do that because they're closed. So he said, you'll do it
37:52
tomorrow. You'll stay at night at the mo View Hotel across the road.
37:57
Most is, I wonder what to do, so I decide to do the
38:00
right thing, and he robs him. I've been robbed. I'll take my
38:04
revenge on society by which I'm in convenience stores and who would suspect me Professor
38:10
Jailbird. Whilst I get what they're going forward, this line just felt very
38:14
unnatural. I'm gonna take my revenge out of society aka convenience stores, and
38:20
I am Professor Jailbird. I'm okay, this shows what a Hackey would be
38:23
writer I am, but I mean professor Jailbird is just like two obvious.
38:28
Why not just have him like initials j L Bird. Oh yeah, and
38:31
they've done that kind of gay before, but that makes far more sense.
38:35
It's far more creative than I'm Professor Jailbird. I'm just felt like, again,
38:40
how many times do you feel like they just run out of time?
38:43
They're like home time quick throws up, men, let's move on. They
38:46
do. There's the sports World of thing. You've seen that thing where he
38:51
talks about Yeah, I just do a really shit first draft full of placeholder
38:54
gags like this happened, then this and the like yeah, but but then
39:01
I get to rewrite, which is fun. Yeah. I got rid of
39:04
the hard bit writing, which sucks, but I got to do rewriting,
39:07
which is fun. And now the elves came in. It feels a lot
39:12
the rewrites though, have just got out the window, doesn't it in a
39:14
lot of the cases. Yeah, that's that's when I'm that was a little
39:17
bit of a mind blower along the lines of therefore all but yeah, just
39:22
a really shit first rout. Well, I mean, that's like writing what
39:25
I want. It's just like, yeah, get it all on the page,
39:27
and then you know, chip away the stuff that doesn't worry, build
39:30
the skeleton, and then and then Fanessa Yeah, yeah, then had the
39:34
flesh, Yes exactly. But Edna, she says she has to tell the
39:37
school that she's not going to be teaching now. And she enters here and
39:40
as Mo says, fate plays a little game up yours Mo because she has
39:45
seen Bart and she or he's this is the thing. I thought this is
39:51
going to be. I thought this was a callback to Bart gets an f
39:53
where he thinks's going to fail the fourth grade and missus k Helpson get through
39:55
it right. But no, he was just lying to distract her. So
40:00
I know, I'm just like, it makes you feel even sad if he's
40:02
k It's like her whole her idea of what MO was was a lie.
40:07
And everything's based on all things based on a lie, like I mean to
40:09
Springfield just destroyed her. Yeah, there's a bit we you know where where
40:14
Barton Edna and talking. He says, I bet I won't even make it
40:16
through fourth grade. So I'm assuming that he's in third grade at this stage,
40:21
or you know, fourth grade is the year that's coming up. But
40:23
we won't even through the fourth grade. I think he's meant to be in
40:25
the fourth grade now, I think. But this is summer, right,
40:29
so I guess I think it's the start of the year that's coming up.
40:30
Yeah, so it's before he starts. So she's meant to his fourth grade
40:34
teacher from the start. Okay, yep, I see what you're saying.
40:35
Yeah, yeah, but even then, it's not really a whole lot of
40:37
time. No, no, it still doesn't work. It doesn't make sense.
40:42
Now, best to make it work. It doesn't make sense for what
40:45
you're going to do. We've bent space and time for you, Simpsons,
40:47
but no, we couldn't do it. Marge calls out that you you know,
40:51
you never had to tension all the way through summer. He says,
40:52
you're just distracting the way it distracting missus case who Neilson is still the microscopes,
40:57
and then she tells Mo that she hasn't coming. He goes absolutely mental,
41:01
and he goes and gets drug and Drownsy sorrows away by putting all the
41:05
money or the gold in the jukebox, and mister Burns raised this and so
41:07
you pull man, You're about to get a lot poorer. So he then
41:10
trades all that gold with the text and I was like, this gold's really
41:14
worth more than mister Burns ohs owns, I should say, like it's worth
41:19
more than a nuclear power plant. I'm not too sure about this, but
41:22
anyway, he agrees to swap it back, and he says, the only
41:25
way I'm going to do that, though, is if you give me the
41:28
photo of you with a smiling child. And then we get the obsessive compulsive
41:31
gag, which as a kid, I remember that was hysterical for me,
41:36
but here I was just like whatever, possibly in sense, they've definitely unfunny.
41:45
We come back from commercial and the ram gets into the attic and then
41:49
mister Burns just like risks his life a leasa and I'm like, what the
41:51
folks going up? Mist that Burns would never do this. Don't take me,
41:54
I'm old, like, take me this baronil thistle, spare this sweet
41:59
young hour And I was like, no, that's not going to happen.
42:00
But anyway, he hits mister Burns, knocks him to the to the wall,
42:05
gives Lisa the pearl necklace, which that sounds pretty bad. But then
42:08
she asked, how did you find it? She asked how you how you
42:12
found this? And then it starts telling the story. I'm like, whatever,
42:16
Lisa was Lisa, why was her necklace on a tree? How did
42:22
her necklace come off and then go into a tree? So like a necklace
42:25
is just randomly fall off and land on a bush, Like you have to
42:28
unclear a lot of holes, a lot of a lot of holes in this
42:34
particular road. That Burns sacrificed his gorgeous body for nothing. I guess this
42:37
is what means when you're having a baby. And Lisa says she wants a
42:40
photo with him, and he finally gets that photo that he needs. Meanwhile,
42:45
bats now chewing Homer's leg for whatever reason, because the bats playing no
42:47
story, no play, don't play to the story at all. Homer falls
42:51
out and Homer reveals that he brought them all here to find the coins,
42:54
and then like, I can't believe you would do something like this, And
42:58
I was like, well, we didn't fall down the hole with but that
43:00
really have been such a bad like a bad thing. He brought you to
43:02
a really nice family nature walk to to potentially find some treasure. That sounds
43:06
like a good fucking family day out if you ask me, a family bonding
43:09
exactly. Yeah. But Over then tells his story that he was hiding in
43:13
the forest because you're supposed to watch Maggie's home. Is a terrible father,
43:15
now everybody, just in case you went away. He hates looking after his
43:20
kids. He hates his children, just so you weren't aware. He's a
43:22
terrible person. And because he was hiding in the forest, he oversaw the
43:27
text in hiding the gold in the cave because he wanted to avoid paying taxes.
43:30
And then Homer says, we need that money because for Bart's operation.
43:32
But that's a story for another episode. Apparently the rich text and then randomly
43:37
arrives in the cave, and then mister Burns and Mo randomly arrive not so
43:42
fast. Cheety Burt Johnson I'll take that gold. Yeah, you'll take it
43:46
and then you'll give it to me if you know what's good for you.
43:50
You guys have guns, well, so do iyo. Coolest entrance gets the
44:00
goal? Um is it okay that I brought my son? This is my
44:06
day with him, Jeremy, there's a boy over there you can play with.
44:09
Do you like xbox? The do you like Xbox? Line? Got
44:14
me as well, So I'm like, that's just kind of like when you're
44:15
a kid. He's met in a kid You're like, so do you like
44:17
stuff? What was your goal to when you're a kid, like making a
44:22
new friend? Mom was always like do you like football? Feel I feel
44:24
like football? Was like if we both like football, will get along.
44:28
We can at least bond over that football or Star Wars Star Wars okay yeah
44:34
yeah? Or um, you're told a dirty joke even when you were like
44:38
six, the dirty Oh yeah. I mean I don't want your idea of
44:43
a dirty jokers when you're six, But something's a bit salty, a bit
44:45
right baal rybal Yes, Then we get a Mexican standoff. Homers two pay
44:50
comes off because you got the Tupai with the with the fake hair earlier in
44:52
the episode, make it pretends to have a gun, a little callback to
44:55
who shot mister Burns. Then Marge threatens to drop the gold's let bring back
45:00
Edna's love. It could definitely, that's like, that's actually because it's totally
45:05
could if someone offered the gold. I think she would come back to him.
45:07
I love that mister Burns isn't important more, and you got a child
45:10
to smile at you. No one'd rather have the goal. I would.
45:13
I'd very much rather have the gold. And I was like, yeah,
45:14
I can kind of relate to this. She throws it down the hole.
45:16
They all thank her because now don't have to worry about trying to fight over
45:20
it. They say, they're all going to the youth Center and Shelbyville for
45:22
fucking whatever reason. And mister Burns meanwhile still climbing down the hole to try
45:25
and find the treasure, but then tells the story to Skinner, so it's
45:30
like another story within a story within a story within the story. It's sort
45:34
of very convolute him, but he's telling the story to Skinner, and the
45:36
Skinner doesn't believe it. And it looks at the window and sees Edna kissing
45:38
Moe and she says, oh I want At this point is a man with
45:42
a healthy libido, which he apparently doesn't have it, and the RIGI where
45:45
he gets awkward. Then the rich Texan is talking over the credits with his
45:49
compulsive disorder, and that's the end. So, as we said, no
45:52
logic, but you know, plenty of enough fun in this episode for me
45:54
to give her the thumbs up. There's I said a lot of holes in
45:58
this particular road about the vehicle itself sort of move fast enough and had decent
46:01
enough suspension that you weren't going to go or anything like that. If I'm
46:07
just watching this episode, I'm not thinking about all this stuff. I'm just
46:09
enjoying it. When I'm having to take notes and review it, that's what
46:12
I overthink things, and I'm like, this doesn't make sense, and this
46:15
doesn't make sense, which is why what I tend to do now is watch
46:16
the episode first, see how I enjoy it, just absorbing it as a
46:21
twenty two minute piece of television, and then I start taking notes because if
46:23
I'm taking notes the whole time, it kills the flow of the episode because
46:27
I'm constantly pushing pause and things like that. So that's why I try to
46:30
get my perspective as a viewer first and then as a reviewer, And the
46:32
reviewer is usually a lot more harsher than a viewer. Correct. So what
46:37
do we learn, Bomber? So what do you learn from the episode?
46:39
Mister Davis? That I should really just shut up? I'm a track lightning.
46:45
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan to me. I learned that
46:46
never go for the till go for the jukebox A good move, a smart
46:51
move. Forward, your name droll me. Okay, and mister Davis,
46:55
we're here to do the new names for the seemingly never ending story. The
46:59
current leader board stands at this In first position, we have our man,
47:01
Luke McKay, five points clear of second position, which is Heath Appleby.
47:05
And in third position we have a four way tie. We've got Garrod,
47:07
Harry Hill, Kyle Muldoon, Clever Kyle, focused chefs, and Adam Woolhouse
47:13
or on these six points. So him, what do we have this week,
47:15
mister Davis for the new names? Okay, let's keep it short and
47:19
sweet. One point goes to simception. Simception, Oh, very very good.
47:24
Indeed, that goes to Mark Boston Burgess, Boston Boston. Indeed,
47:30
yeah, nice one made okay two points four a series of anik dope.
47:38
They got in there with the doves. They do love their dotes, and
47:40
so do you. David Mott. He is a very smart man when it
47:43
comes to that, you know, maybe clever David, So David. That
47:49
puts David now on seven points, which I believe has him been around about
47:52
second or third position. But I'm anyway, can keep going. What do
47:53
we have for three points and the third well not the third, not not
47:59
third, let's first place with three points? Yeah, yeah, not at
48:01
all confusing. That goes to stuck Caven Dad, Oh oh, you won't
48:08
believe it. It's Clever Kyle living up to the name. Yes, buddy,
48:15
So okay. Leaderboard now, so they've gotten a little bit closer to
48:17
Luke mckayl McKay didn't get any points this week, so still in first is
48:22
Luke McKay on twelve. Clever Kyle is now in second position on nine points,
48:25
and in third position. We have a two a tie with Heath Appleby
48:30
and one David Mott and that one point from Mark Boston Burgess gotty much the
48:34
three points as well, So he's slowly climbing that leaderboard. So thank you
48:36
guys for sending in your new names for similar the editing story. It's now
48:39
time Stavis, that we answer some mail bag questions. Mailbagail Debail is here.
48:47
Okay. The first question here for the mail bag is from Andrew JP.
48:52
And Andrew says, what's your favorite meta slash self referential TV show or
48:55
movie? Did Bill and Ted said? Bill and Ted was just whacky?
48:59
They didn't reference it stuff? Did it? No? M community used to
49:01
do it a lot. Well, yeah, um, I guess the one
49:07
that sort of did it for me back in the day. Um, there's
49:09
a show that I referenced a lot that I really dig Moonlighting back in the
49:14
eighties. Shepherd. Yeah, they broke the fourth wall all the time,
49:17
and they they regularly acknowledged that they were on a TV show. Wow,
49:22
I did not know that. Yeah, And you know, played around with
49:25
the form all the time, and you know, they were always because the
49:30
show was, you know, it had really dense scripts. It was always
49:34
sort of overwritten and scripted often come in late, and so they and they
49:38
tended to acknowledge on the show. It's like oh, well, you know
49:42
in search joke here because we didn't have toime to write a joke stuff like
49:44
that. So you know, as a teenager watching that, it was like,
49:46
Wow, that Bruce Willis is super cool. Help but make him one
49:50
day and the next thing was these guys are really fucking around with the format.
49:54
That's interesting. So yeah, that's probably my my favorite. Yeah,
49:59
that is very I'm gonna have to check out Moonlightly sometime because you always go
50:01
on about it and it's a show that you don't see anywhere, Like it's
50:06
not it's getting reruns anywhere or anything like that. But I mean, it's
50:07
got Bruce Willis and his early days. It's got to be good, right.
50:10
Apparently Disney Plus has um picked up the rights to stream it now when
50:15
they're actually I'll do that, I'm not sure that. I don't think so.
50:20
No, but a while back, let's check it, okay, but
50:24
if whilst you're talking, I'll check it. Continue if you google Moonlight slash
50:29
Disney Plus or Hulu or something like that. They then because there was announcement
50:34
like a few months back from the creator of the show. It's like I've
50:37
got something to reveal, and everyone's like what reboot or and then the newspaper
50:43
as well was coming out was like, no, reboot not happening for sad
50:49
reasons. Obviously, we shouldn't be laughing for sad reasons. We're not,
50:51
yeah, not making fun, that's for sure. We're certainly not making fun
50:54
of my man Bruno. But then it was like, yeah, we're remastering
50:59
him and putting them up on streaming. So and I'm pretty sure it was
51:02
Disney Plants that was going to be doing it. But it's complicated because Disney
51:07
Plus is different all over the world, certainly in the States, because I
51:09
mean they've got Disney Plus, which is just Disney stuff, but they've got
51:13
I've got Hulu, which is like, yeah, the adult version of Disney
51:15
Plus, which is Disney Plus here in Australia. Looking at He's not on
51:19
Disney Plus in Australia yet anyway, but you're right, that's one. They've
51:21
got things like um like the New Future Arms coming straight to Hulu. Yeah,
51:25
yeah in the States, but we'll obviously get on Disney Plus here.
51:29
Yeah, but that's that's my that's my choice, all right, Yeah,
51:31
it's my selection. Next question, Ben lyons, what's the best treasure either
51:35
of you have found outdoors or exploring a city you hadn't been to before.
51:38
Oh, this is interesting to find treasure too, Like what's a hidney jam?
51:42
We should say, like what's hidden gem you've found when you've been to
51:45
a city and you're like, oh, I didn't. We went to m
51:46
du Buy as part of our honeymoon on the way back and there was this
51:50
all you can eat places just by the main sort of like little port area,
51:54
and it was a photo. We've got a photo of it in our
51:57
We've got like a selfie like a collage in our in our bedroom now our
52:00
honeymoon, so I've got them. I'm holding up the menu. So I
52:02
actually looked this place up. I should go and do it because it was
52:05
honestly some of the most delicious fit I've ever had in my life. It
52:07
was incredible in Dubai Dubai all you can eat, It's amazing. I'm glad
52:12
that that worked out well for you, because I'll tell your story. The
52:15
other night or the other weekend. The Lovely Louis and I were up in
52:19
Melbourne at the party on Saturday night and then we went to the concert on
52:22
Sunday night, and we hadn't eaten before the concert, so we got out
52:25
about term thirty and we were just starving and we were dropping loose some back
52:30
at back at university, back at his college where he was staying. It
52:34
was like, oh, we gotta get some to eat first. So we
52:35
went to lig on Stream. I think it's the food Mecher of Melbourne.
52:38
Of course, something you want to eat there. Yeah, yeah, there
52:40
was barely anything, but ended up going to this like middle Eastern restaurant.
52:45
We thought we'll have a kebab, there'd be some sort of chicken on a
52:49
stick. It was just the I'm not going to name name that. It
52:52
was just the shabbiest place. The servers was so surly, and we're like,
52:57
we're just so hungry, we'll take whatever. Um. We got these
53:00
kebabs that were fine, But yeah, I mean, there's nothing like finding
53:07
a great kebab joint. And it sounds like that you found a great food
53:08
you joined when you're thinking of treasure. I mean, the first thing that
53:14
came to mind was once I was at a music festival and you know,
53:17
it was muddy and rainy and all this kind of stuff. I looked down,
53:20
and so what's that bright thing on the floor? There? Is it
53:23
the leaf? It's a fifty dollar note. I think you may have told
53:28
us this story before you that's like, I mean, obviously finding a hundreds
53:30
even better, but like finding a fifty, it's like you feel like you
53:32
hit the jackpot. From over there. You're like, I'm actually rich.
53:36
Yeah, I mean, what's the most you ever sort of find on the
53:38
ground. You mean you might see like a coin. Have you see a
53:42
gold coin? You're like, score, yeah, yeah, yeah, what's
53:44
the least? To me? The least is like I'll pick up a fifty
53:46
it's twenty or less. I'm like, ask some other guy. I can
53:49
find it. But I never forget when I was a kid. I've definitely
53:51
told this story before. I'm pretty sure. But we're at the Sunday Market
53:53
in Balmont here in Geelong, and I was going to put my wrapper of
53:55
something in the bin. I was in the bin and someone that dropped fifty
53:58
bucks just in the bin. I was like, I would have been ten
54:00
or round it at the time. I still remember it though, just outside
54:02
the now. How would you go to the market there, You've got the
54:05
basketball arena and you can go inside. It was just at the doorway there
54:07
and I'm looking at and going moment has for fifty dollars and my mum beam,
54:10
my mum. She was like, well, make sure you're handed in
54:13
so in case someone's lost it. I'm like, okay, man, man,
54:15
okay. I really went to bag. I was actually figured it with
54:17
the hand, so we turned into garment. Yeah, yeah he can,
54:22
man. So I got to hand it to him to the security guard and
54:25
he goes, you can just keep it. I was like, awesome,
54:30
said mummy. He's like, an keep it, and she goes, are
54:32
you sure, and she looked at the guy and I poisoned at him.
54:35
He sort of gave her the nod, and I was like, yes,
54:37
what a man. Some poor kids, some poor persons lost their fifty dollars.
54:40
But the security guys like, mate, you just have it. Just
54:43
let's go a lord. And then just just I don't forget Mum looking over
54:46
at him, him just going it's all good. I got you. You've
54:52
just got faith in the adult world. That's you're starting to think maybe to
54:58
just have to screw me over. And I was like, we'll do this
55:00
kid as solid. Yeah, it was it was a very great day.
55:02
All right, A couple more questions than we'll wrap this one up. So,
55:07
Andrew Swan, what's your favorite movie that starts at the end and then
55:09
goes back and retails the crazy eventu that led them to that point. Oh
55:15
well, let's let's say pulp fiction out of the equation that's sort of all
55:17
over the shop. It's sort of beginning, it's that sort of ending,
55:20
goes back, but it's all over the shop. But a movie that sort
55:22
of goes back and retails. Ah, I like the Soundlot Kids. The
55:24
soundlot does that? Oh yeah, we did that on the movie Guys a
55:29
few months ago. I was just trying to think of any that comes to
55:31
my mind. What does mister Hollins opens to that I don't recall? Actually,
55:37
Titanic does that? Titanic is a big one. It does it doesn't,
55:40
Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't. It's not like it's retail that
55:44
the events that happened immediately before the start of the movie, but it's still
55:46
telling previous events of it. How the old woman got the gem. Yeah,
55:50
yeah, this is a tough one. Oh, I wish they're Titanic
55:53
and um and the Soundlot of the first two that comes to my mind for
55:57
whatever reason. Yeah, oh man, I'm going to think about this,
56:01
mister Swan. I may have to talk to you in the patron chat yeah,
56:06
and on the discord or find you on the on the Facebook group and
56:09
let you know. But yeah, oh, I feel like I right,
56:12
chump, Nothing springing to mind at the moment, but I'm sure there are
56:14
really good ones, he said, not quite at the end, but he
56:16
likes how Deadpool starts about midway and then backtracks to see how he got into
56:20
that situation. Mike Boston burges, do you think a prequel episode of Snake
56:24
being an Indiana Jones type character would work? Also? I wrote it that
56:29
he's called Snake in Indiana it hates snakes. Ah. Well, first of
56:32
all, well well noted, well pointed out. I don't know. In
56:37
all, it was such an odd, an odd character beat, wasn't it
56:39
to see Snake being a good guy like this? I mean, I liked
56:42
it, but it was just I don't know whether I want permanent Snake like
56:45
this. But we're big on prequels now, aren't we. So the idea
56:47
of a prequel just sort of tantalizes everyone's thoughts. But it really does,
56:51
doesn't it. Which you know, I don't think I'm all that mad on.
56:53
I don't think he's just he's a he's a a thief, you know.
56:59
I don't want to know too much about good guy Snake. It was
57:01
nice that we saw him how he became a good guy, but I don't
57:05
I don't want too much of that, you know, No, No,
57:07
I mean, I think the best prequel there ever was was really just the
57:09
start of Indiana Jones on The Last Crusade, where you've got that ten twenty
57:13
minute bit at the start where River Phoenix is playing young Indie, and you'll
57:16
learn how we got the hat, how are you why he's afraid of snakes?
57:20
Hey, we got the scar on his chin. You'll learn how he
57:22
becomes good with the whip. It's like that's all I needed. I don't
57:25
need to know anymore. It's not like Batman, we always get the whole
57:30
how his parents died. I think I think there's a moratorium on that from
57:34
now. And I think everyone, I think any filmmaker is saying, we're
57:37
not doing Martha Wayne's Pels. Forget it. No one's like gonna make a
57:40
whole film about him becoming Batman. Everyone's like, oh no, it was
57:45
a good movie. But anyway, one more question. Let's get one more
57:46
question. Actually it's two more here, mel life. I want to say
57:51
that they say love this episode, the bit about Smithers out getting a tan.
57:54
Do you think this is the Simpsons trying to explain Smithers on Homer's Odyssey.
57:58
I've read somewhere that that was the inten Oh if it is, then
58:00
I don't know that that's where you get Blacksmith is by the way in Homer's
58:02
Odyssey. Oh okay, I don't. I don't think so. Oh yeah,
58:07
that's that's one of those things where it's like ed happened. We all
58:12
know why it happened. It was just a mistake. Let's just move on.
58:15
But I get what they're trying to say the Hommer I see, I
58:17
don't hear these person said they read somewhere that that was the intention, But
58:21
I find it very hard to believe. It seems like a big stretch.
58:24
YEP, Stretching is good. We recommend everybody do it. Lou and I
58:31
are always saying to one another because it's been a very complicated a couple of
58:37
weeks in the Davis households. Early both my mum and my sister, my
58:42
elder sister, took tumbles. Give mum as well. Yeah yeah, mum
58:46
shit some chords in the living room and land on the coffee table and mucked
58:51
up her ribs. But we never told you this. Oh this just happened
58:55
like two days ago. Still we've spoken in that time. I know,
59:00
I know you have to tell me all your personal affairs, but that's like
59:02
you tell me about your sister. I mean, you've been looking after your
59:04
sister, but your mom Margaret Mary. And she said, now I'm looking
59:07
after Margaret Mary's mascot of this show. But here's the thing. Well,
59:13
she took a tumble, but she went in. She got X rayed,
59:15
no crack ribs, no internal bleeding. Plus I did some blood work.
59:19
Ninety three year old Margaret Mary's got the blood work of like a twenty five
59:22
year old Holy shit, kicking goals. Indeed, So you know, hopefully
59:27
genetics will be on my side despite all my efforts to you know, just
59:30
sucking up by continue eating cheese bokes. Sorry, guys. Another forty years
59:35
of Guy David's podcast Buckle up folks. Yeah, but also my sister Joe
59:40
took a tumble as well. Now Joe's coming into look after mom because Joe's
59:45
recovered so well, don't tag her in. Yeah indeed, so there's that.
59:49
Um And why was it an eventful week? Why was I going to
59:52
talk about it? Because you're talking about stretching. Oh yeah, so Lo
59:57
and I are like, I think we stretch more. I think we should
1:00:00
be like limber in our old age, so we're not sort of using walkers.
1:00:04
Although yeah, I noticed for me when I was like playing down the
1:00:07
hallway of the kids, like I'm all fours, like playing with cars and
1:00:09
stuff, and I struggle to get up. But I'm like, you're thirty
1:00:12
four mates, sort yourself out. Oh just the orchestra of sound, yeah,
1:00:16
that you make when you have to give up, when you have to
1:00:21
prepared to push up. Yeah, you're sort of braces. All right.
1:00:28
Here's a task final question here focused Jeff's if you stumbled across the gold,
1:00:32
would you take it? I've talked about the fifty fifty years gold. It's
1:00:36
a gold note, doesn't it fifty? It's pineapples. Sort of goal is,
1:00:40
if you found gold, would you take it. I would make sure
1:00:45
that no one is around. I would maybe hang around for about another half
1:00:50
an hour. If no one's claimed that ship, then it is mine.
1:00:52
I agree, Like, what's your what's your time? What's your time for
1:00:55
a waiting to see if someone's coming to claim something? Or would you say
1:00:59
half an hour? Is that enough? If? I don't know, Like
1:01:01
it depends what it is, I guess, but you know, if have
1:01:04
you ever come back to claim something like golden in half an hour? And
1:01:07
then it's fucking it's fair game, surely, I think. So, Yeah,
1:01:10
you're being quite You're stretching it out a bit. I'm more like ten
1:01:14
minutes maybe than five. I've spent that ship within ten minutes. All right,
