• 1:23
  Welcome to four Finger Discount, where we are currently at the beginning of season
• 1:27
  seventeen. It's the podcast where we always love to go on tandem bike rides.
• 1:32
  This week we hit the review an episode that I rather enjoyed. It
• 1:34
  is Marge's Sun Poisoning. I'm Dando. I am guy in the back seat
• 1:40
  of the tandem bicycle and taking rather a different attitude to my man Dando,
• 1:47
  because no, I did not think much of Marge's sun Poisoning at all.
• 1:52
  Started off great, by which I mean it had a really good couch gang,
• 1:57
  and after that things steadily went down like a tandem bike with a trolley
• 2:04
  behind it with an overweight police chief. I've always been a fan of Margin
• 2:07
  Bart's stories because, in my opinion, you always get the best version of
• 2:09
  Bart when you have Margin Bart stories, and always find them quite relatable.
• 2:14
  Sometimes you get Bart being addicted Margin. By the end of it, he
• 2:15
  sort of comes to his senses that when he lashes out at Margin this episode,
• 2:21
  it was believable to the point where because he's getting bullied, right,
• 2:23
  and when you're ten, the worst thing you want in the world is to
• 2:27
  be, you know, getting bullied at school, So you don't want to
• 2:28
  be seen as a mum's boy. You don't want to be teased and things
• 2:30
  like that because she brings up the princess kake and things like that. What
• 2:32
  was nice is that he lashed out at her, but then immediately felt bad
• 2:37
  apologize and said, hey, happy would do something else instead. So it
• 2:39
  was that's why I say when I was saying, before you get the best
• 2:42
  version of Bart, that's what you get. He kind of like Marge being
• 2:44
  not proud. There's another episode called Bart the Mother. I always finding quite
• 2:47
  relatable and sweet in saying that I didn't like the B plot in this.
• 2:51
  I thought it had it was starting well, somewhat potential, my other is
• 2:53
  different whatever, but it just seemed pointless in the end because as soon as
• 2:57
  he arrived, he left, and I was like, just felt kind of
• 3:00
  what was the point? I know, sometimes I guess you got to think
• 3:04
  we've got to get home and into the episode, but it's like, well,
• 3:07
  if it's if it makes sense this here it was almost like a the
• 3:10
  Homer They fall where most seas, but I hope we're getting beaten up,
• 3:14
  and he's like, oh, I can monetize this. Here he sees Homer's
• 3:17
  arm, Oh I can monetize this, except he doesn't go and face for
• 3:21
  a championship. He gets there and goes much doesn't care about me. I'm
• 3:24
  gonna go home again. I'm like, you just got there, this is
• 3:27
  your first fight. Yeah, the b plot didn't seem very well thought out
• 3:34
  or even all that well conceived to begin with your right, It did feel
• 3:37
  very much like a rehash of the Homer They fall, or just felt like
• 3:40
  I imagine there's a big folder full of half baked, half conceived ideas that's
• 3:47
  sitting somewhere on a shelf in the Simpsons HQ, and when there's a gap
• 3:53
  in an episode, it was like, Oh, we've got to fill some
• 3:54
  space, so we've got to feel some time. They almost sort of reach
• 3:58
  into it at random and pull something thing out, and it's like, oh,
• 4:00
  yeah, this'll do, you know, I mean, and you know
• 4:03
  we'll find some way to resolve by the end, you know, through magic
• 4:06
  or something like that. But yeah, I was not a not a fan
• 4:11
  of the Homer arm wrestling thing. I don't how it started, how it
• 4:15
  ended, anything in it. Oh well, maybe the bit with the Texas
• 4:18
  Does Texas guy have a named West call him Texas Guy called billionaire Texas Billionaire,
• 4:23
  Rich Texan is what he's called Rich Texan Okay, Look I didn't mind
• 4:28
  that so much. I mean, he's usually good value when he shows up,
• 4:31
  and you know the bit with Homer, you know, pulling his hustle
• 4:35
  by being a dog and sort of doing a bit of a frank not unfun.
• 4:40
  But yeah, generally speaking, not a fan of that B plot.
• 4:43
  And yeah, when it came to the A plot, Look, you're right.
• 4:45
  I mean there's certainly some good mileage to be gotten out of the margin
• 4:54
  bart relationship. Although it tends to feel usually like the same thing over again.
• 4:59
  You know, Bartle disappoint feel bad about it, There'll be some kind
• 5:02
  of resolution. I think it was done so much better in March, being
• 5:06
  not proud all that kind of stuff. This time around. I don't know.
• 5:10
  It certainly had mm it had substance to it. You're right. I
• 5:15
  mean that whole scene where are the three bullies I confronting bart and you know
• 5:20
  it's like, oh, doesn't want to be seen as a mum's boy or
• 5:23
  anything like that. Yeah, that rings very True's you can actually you can
• 5:27
  believe you can see yourself when you're tend doing that without thinking You're just like,
• 5:30
  hang on, how do I fix this? Because your whole world is
• 5:33
  school, the schoolyard, or that is your world, and the bullies are
• 5:35
  picking on you. Gotta fix that immediately lashing out at your mum. I
• 5:40
  could see myself when I was ten doing that and regretting it a second later.
• 5:44
  But I can still see myself doing it in the moment. Yeah,
• 5:46
  but the way it was executed in this episode, I don't know, it
• 5:48
  just didn't really engage me in any way. I mean, I found it.
• 5:55
  We'll be watching these episodes and I'll be sitting all the way through it
• 5:58
  paying attention, taking notes or the kind of stuff. I honestly felt my
• 6:00
  attention just drifting, drifting all the time. It just was really half of
• 6:04
  this episode too, I know, keep its grip on my attention. Now.
• 6:10
  Maybe that's because the Oscars are on, We're recording this on a Monday,
• 6:15
  and the Academy Awards are on. I was sort of half playing attention
• 6:18
  to that. But in honesty, I mean, yeah, Marche soun poisoning
• 6:21
  just I don't know, it just really failed to grab me. I don't
• 6:26
  know. I don't want to be an absolute hater or anything like that.
• 6:29
  It just, yeah, it didn't work for me, and I don't know
• 6:31
  why. I don't want to be an absolute hater, but I can't tell
• 6:32
  you why. It's because you're live tweeting at the same time out the Oscars
• 6:35
  that he's suposed to be watching The Simpsons. No, no, I put
• 6:39
  a break on the live tweeting, and I only live tweeted like three things,
• 6:43
  and that's mainly just yeah for Key Hi Kwan. By the way,
• 6:46
  but this will probably be online by the time everyone's seeing the Oscars, so
• 6:50
  no spoilers. There were actually going to be doing an oscar specially for the
• 6:55
  very first episode of the new and improved Movie Guy podcast. So going forward,
• 6:59
  the Movie Guys is longer the Movie Guys. It's the Movie Guy.
• 7:01
  And what we're going to be doing is I'm gonna be there sort of just
• 7:04
  conducting the train, keeping things on track. But you guys, you listeners
• 7:08
  are going to be sending in your questions, so you can either we're gonna
• 7:10
  be asking on Twitter. We're gonna be asking on in the Patreon group as
• 7:13
  well. So if you haven't followed us on Twitter, we've just reached eleven
• 7:16
  thousand followers on Twitter, So think you have one rind of a pause for
• 7:18
  jumping on board and pointing us there at four Finger Pod. Follow us on
• 7:21
  there, and each month I'm going to be asking for some movie related questions
• 7:26
  and each episode, now, guys just going to run through and smash through
• 7:28
  as many male bad questions as you can in relation to the movie industry,
• 7:31
  movies and TV as well film and TV. And because you know, guys,
• 7:34
  we're gonna untapped out potentially have that there's so much knowledge in that brain.
• 7:40
  We've got to hack our way in there and get all that knowledge out.
• 7:42
  So, yes, film and TV questions we're going to be answering on
• 7:46
  the Movie Guy podcast are every month on Patreon. But with the with the
• 7:50
  margin bar story, getting back to the episode, I also enjoyed the way
• 7:55
  they got out of the story because I'm watching this thinking, so Marge and
• 7:58
  Bart are becoming friends here, they're enjoying each other's company. Mars made the
• 8:01
  mistake. The're getting back together again. But I'm like, but how you're
• 8:03
  going to get back to the status quo, because that's what they're gonna be
• 8:07
  gonna get back to the status quo. You can still be friendly, but
• 8:09
  they can't be best friends because that's just woin't work for the dynamite going forward.
• 8:13
  I like the way that they turned on Marge. We're Marge realizing,
• 8:16
  wait a minute, I hang on, he's becoming I'm making him Muma's boy.
• 8:20
  I'm turning him into skinner. I like using the skinner Agnes as the
• 8:22
  example of going Marge saying wait a minute, no, no, I don't
• 8:26
  want this. We can love each other, but you your job is to
• 8:30
  give me things to worry about it. Go out and be a boy,
• 8:31
  kind of like when we were reviewed the Sound Loot to the Sound Loot kids.
• 8:33
  Go ahead and go ahead and make some trouble. That's true, and
• 8:37
  that's a good point. Look, I feel bad that I'm sort of sledging
• 8:41
  the episode of the way that I am because it's got like a good structure.
• 8:45
  It's got good architecture to it, you know. I mean, as
• 8:48
  you said, using the truly toxic mother some relationship of Agnes and Seymour as
• 8:56
  an example of what not to do or you know, a bad mother son
• 9:00
  relationship. Yeah, I think that's pretty smart. And no, no folding
• 9:03
  into the karaoke thing. I guess it's kind of entertaining. But I just
• 9:07
  like how where Marge thought she was finally getting what she's always wanted, her
• 9:11
  son, who was her best friend, and then she realized, no,
• 9:11
  no, don't be my best friend, which is, let's just be friends.
• 9:15
  You know, let's just hang out occasionally, but let's just not hang
• 9:16
  out together all the time. Don't blow off Millhouse to come hang out with
• 9:20
  me, you know, don't don't have tea parties and stuff like that.
• 9:22
  Let's just be friends but not best friends. And so Marge finally sort of
• 9:26
  found in middle ground between what she's always wanted and what she actually needs and
• 9:30
  wants. You're explaining it in a very good way, and you are sort
• 9:33
  of turning my ship around. God, I don't know. I thought maybe
• 9:37
  it was a tonal thing as well with this episode. You know, when
• 9:39
  Marge was depressed, she seemed really depressed. I didn't like the montage where
• 9:43
  she was like taking the bike to Miami or something like she went to Miami.
• 9:45
  Why. I think it's a shout out to Midnight Cowboy. Sorry I
• 9:50
  missed that, Okay, but my apologies. Yeah no, no, no,
• 9:52
  no, I mean Midnight Cowboys bad as old as me. They did
• 9:58
  that recently on a Future runer episode, remember the mid Cowboy, especially the
• 10:01
  same song they used, Well, I don't think it was, was it.
• 10:05
  I don't think it was. No. I mean everybody know, well
• 10:07
  not everybody, but the song Everybody's Talking is kind of the most famous from
• 10:11
  from Midnight Cowboy. Yeah, it usually gets used whenever you're sort of referencing
• 10:16
  that, but I think they just use some of the some of the soundtrack
• 10:18
  from Midnight Cowboy in this particular instance, and it wasn't necessarily a real big,
• 10:22
  sort of obvious kind of shout out. But yeah, for nerds like
• 10:26
  me, it's like, I think that's what they're doing here, because this
• 10:28
  is when the characters are sort of about their lowest, and this is when
• 10:31
  Marges had her lowest, and it's like, I get that she's down,
• 10:37
  but yeah, this feels a little too down, you know, and I'm
• 10:41
  feeling more sad for it than perhaps I should. It was sad to the
• 10:45
  point where it wasn't funny because there was one line where she says I was
• 10:48
  really looking forward to that. I was like, oh, that's just sad,
• 10:50
  that's not funny because you do the bike ride with her and then he's
• 10:56
  just like, no, I'd rather watched TV, and then she's just really
• 10:58
  sad about it. I was like, oh, and then following that though
• 11:01
  she wasn't really sad so much. After that she was just sort of trying
• 11:05
  to rather bite by herself, and then she just I guess, you know,
• 11:07
  if you realized at that point no one wants to spend time with her,
• 11:09
  but but would rather play a video game based on her mother's son ten
• 11:13
  and Bite ride Maggie pretending that she's asleep, Lisa was just inconspicuously missing from
• 11:16
  that scene, and and Hope would rather watch TV, so she's you know,
• 11:22
  no one wants to spend in time with much, so I can understand
• 11:24
  why she would have mean sad. I did like though that as soon as
• 11:26
  Bart realized that she was feeling this way, he tried to fix it.
• 11:31
  That's true. Yeah, that was good. That was good. I think
• 11:33
  the end of the reason they had Homo go do the armrest and contest though,
• 11:35
  so he could come home and see I'm coming home to you. That
• 11:39
  was the only reason I didn't like that sing Sweetheme Alabama. I thought the
• 11:45
  Bart Marge singing the sweethem Alabama riding the Bite together was quite nice. It
• 11:50
  was pretty sweet, and yeah, I know it's appearanced by male man as
• 11:52
  well, who just wanted to It was just glad to get sharing their fun.
• 11:56
  Yeah, because the thing was season seventeen. It's hard. They try
• 11:58
  and cram these sweet moments into the show, but very rarely do they come
• 12:03
  across as genuine. And I thought there was a couple of sweet moments in
• 12:05
  this episode. Did that did come across as genuine, Like when but tries
• 12:11
  to tell Talmage, no, I really am sorry, I really do you
• 12:13
  want to spend time with you. It was just at that point in time,
• 12:16
  I just was trying to I wasn't beating. I wasn't I wasn't being
• 12:20
  honest. I was just putting on this act so the bullies would not make
• 12:22
  fun of me. Yeah. I thought that was a nice sweet moment.
• 12:24
  And then when they'll just ride the bite together, I thought was quite sweet
• 12:26
  as well. Yeah, it had a lot of, you know, genuine
• 12:30
  moments in there, but I just don't think they were executed quite right.
• 12:33
  It's like, yeah, they didn't quite pull off. And it's like,
• 12:37
  oh, I see what you I honestly see what he's trying to do,
• 12:41
  and you're giving it a red odd go bad. Yeah for me, at
• 12:45
  least it wasn't quite sick. Yeah that's fine, but I yeah, but
• 12:46
  I understand how some people would go yourself included dinner. I go, Yeah,
• 12:50
  they nailed it, good on it. It's not the best episode.
• 12:54
  I'm just saying there was. There was a lot to enjoy for me.
• 12:56
  Yeah, hey, my favorite. What were your favorite moments from the episode,
• 13:01
  mister Davis? Oh god, were there that many? Because I've actually
• 13:05
  written down here wrote in ink not a fan of this episode. Well,
• 13:13
  while you try to find something for your stuff, I enjoyed the bike ride,
• 13:15
  like I was saying earlier, Um what else? There was a moment
• 13:18
  with I loved Homer saving them from the pinball machine Devil's advocate and oh was
• 13:24
  a Devil's advocate? Yeah, oh okay, I'll not noticed that. Just
• 13:30
  I just always a pinball machine. I didn't see it was Devil's advocate,
• 13:31
  too busy watching the oscars about them when he says, well, had this
• 13:37
  happened? We're trying to impress some girls and think just got away from us.
• 13:39
  I'm we've all been there. What about you? If you found anything?
• 13:45
  I think, like I mentioned earlier. I think my probably my favorite
• 13:46
  moment is just Homer being a dork. I like that when he was doing
• 13:52
  his hustle a white partner. Well yeah, but also the thing that'll make
• 13:56
  sure that ginger really is flat because the bubbles Maine buds. I did also
• 14:01
  enjoy when marches at the end don't end up like that and skins like what
• 14:05
  a wall? Next question? You there eating the past. All right,
• 14:11

• 15:33
  launching that Bob's Burgers podcast all right now, beginning each trivia. Now we're
• 15:39
  going to be doing our brain Was it a box office Brainbuster? One?
• 15:43
  Was the title we decided on yes, okay, the box office brainbuster.
• 15:46
  All right, so this episode originally aired mister Davis November thirteenth, two thousand
• 15:52
  and five. So what do you think was at number one at the box
• 15:56
  office for the week of November thirteen, two thousand and five. Before I
• 16:00
  give any clues, you need to have a stab at it first, and
• 16:04
  then we'll give some clues. For some reason, I want to say Revenge
• 16:07
  of the Sith, but I don't think that's it. He came out in
• 16:11
  May those films, the Star Wars films, but it was so popular it
• 16:14
  could have been hanging around forever. I'm going to need that first clue down
• 16:18
  to come all right and throw me a lifeline children's film from the from our
• 16:22
  friends at Pixar. No, don't believe. So here's a clue. Not
• 16:27
  Stuart, not start. So it's not Little, it's not Stuart. Your
• 16:33
  clues are really as a Derek man, it's Chicken, Little, Oh oh,
• 16:37
  Chicken. That's a terrible movie. I remember seeing that thing number one
• 16:41
  at the box Yeah. Kids, they're silly, they'll go see anything.
• 16:48
  Number two though, I'll give you a clue if you want to train you
• 16:52
  wouldn't want this to happen. Oh, well, that's Oscar Winner crash.
• 16:56
  I'm assuming No, it's a great, great, great movie, of course,
• 17:00
  but what specific to train. I'm thinking derailed, derail or to correct
• 17:07
  that is the one yes, and third was actually Zaura, a space adventure
• 17:10
  that's not bad, like an unofficial sequel to Jamanji. Yeah, yeah,
• 17:14
  I always I never I remember watching it once, but it was like at
• 17:17
  a party when kids are running around being crazy. It was on, but
• 17:18
  I never really properly washed it. But it's one I've always gone, I'm
• 17:21
  going, I'm watched this one day because I know I would enjoy It's always
• 17:23
  been a big fan of Jamanji. But um yeah, a random a random
• 17:26
  box office top three for the week of Neverber thirteen and two thousand and five
• 17:29
  Chicken, Little Derailed and Zura a space adventure. It certainly is. I'm
• 17:33
  trying to remember who's in de Rail. I think it's Clive Owen and Jennifer
• 17:37
  Raniston. Yeah, I watched about Aniston, but it's definitely Clive Owen's.
• 17:38
  Yeah. Yeah. Two business people having an affair and some some criminals going
• 17:45
  to out them or something, and they're going to find a way to stop
• 17:47
  him or something like that. That's right, Yeah, yeah, and yeah.
• 17:51
  The main thing I remember from this Zathura, I think it was the
• 17:53
  first time that a story young actress named Kristen Stewart, and I thought young
• 17:57
  ladies got something. She might go on to start them, I think,
• 18:00
  And it turns out she did. So well done me and well done Christen
• 18:03
  stear all right. My first question for you is why were they tearing down
• 18:08
  the pier oh um set on a sign? They did? They did?
• 18:12
  Didn't they for rich people's condos? Yeah, condos for Richard Hits. Yeah,
• 18:18
  for Richard Hits. All right, what's your first one? Who will
• 18:22
  provide you with tobacco lotion? Tobacco lotion? Was? Is it lung lung
• 18:30
  strong, strong lung something strong lung doctor lung strong, doctor lung strong.
• 18:37
  Yes. I did write it down, but I could be bother trying to
• 18:40
  find it my notes. My next one is what is the entry fee for
• 18:44
  the arm Wrestling Championships. It's the same as the prize money. Uh no,
• 18:52
  miss that one. Twenty dollars, fifty dollars, fifty dollars. I
• 18:56
  got a little dyslexic with my numbers there. What is the strong man's name?
• 19:00
  Oh? I do have that? Also, when there's a starts with
• 19:02
  R, doesn't it is R? Some what it begins with it does?
• 19:04
  Indeed? Um, it's not robusto mm a robust store. It's not for
• 19:11
  sale. And my final question is what color bumper card does Homer take?
• 19:17
  Isn't a red one? Isn't it? I read one? Yes, he
• 19:19
  is indeed, one question for you, Dando, all right, he hit
• 19:22
  me. Um the leaf Garrett unfortunately has to close due to what in its
• 19:27
  cakes? Rat droppings, rat droppings. I like that she ended her letter
• 19:33
  there with very polite, very sweet. It looks it looked like a nice
• 19:38
  little place to leave, Garrett. It's one thing living with an English person,
• 19:42
  certain sayings that I never would have ever heard of my life or said
• 19:45
  before, and I've now find myself sort of saying it. They love saying
• 19:49
  proper. Everything's proper. This is prop proper coffee. But it's when they
• 19:53
  say hello, it's hi. You're right, it's not hi. How are
• 19:56
  you going? Hi? Hi? You're yeah, you're right? Yeah?
• 20:00
  Yeah, how you're right? You're right. Yeah. It's just a continuous
• 20:02
  loop, all right, Yeah, you're right. Yeah, right, how
• 20:03
  you're right? And they love saying when you say something's nice right. Just
• 20:06
  say, for example, Alie, you should have said when did drew me
• 20:07
  today? They go oh, bless, oh bless, oh bless ye my
• 20:14
  bless. By the way, I think we should give a shout out to
• 20:17
  our favorite englishwoman apparently did very well with the running on the weekend. Yeah,
• 20:22
  my wife, Nicholas. She ran for the first time fifteen kilometers.
• 20:26
  She never stopped. She was training for it, but the most she ever
• 20:27
  got to running continuously was just under thirteen case. But she pushed through and
• 20:32
  that the turns out was actually fifteen point three ks. But they didn't tell
• 20:34
  anybody Nicolaus that she tiped over the fifteen came. She's like, you lie,
• 20:37
  I trusted you. She had like another three hundred meters to run through.
• 20:41
  But the we're waiting at the air near the finish line, and the
• 20:44
  photographer it was there. We're sort of like clapping all everyone that we're getting
• 20:45
  the kids to clap through. I was with my mom and my dad.
• 20:48
  The other contestant says, are running past us, and they appreciated the little
• 20:52
  clapping and stuff. But the photographer was there. It's like, here's your
• 20:55
  mum coming and yeah, like all right, we sit down and clap and
• 20:57
  he took a photos from the addie. Somebody there's going to be afraid of
• 21:00
  Nicola in the paper somewhere this week finishing off her race with the kids cheering
• 21:03
  her on, which which is nice marvelous stuff. Well, running fifteen k's
• 21:07
  NonStop, I mean, go on, I don't think I could do that
• 21:11
  unless there was some one with the shotgun behind me. Never then, do
• 21:17
  you love Bob's Burgers? Of course you do. Who doesn't? Well,
• 21:19
  what if I was to tell you that if you supported your Pal's Guy and
• 21:22
  Dando for just a dollar a month, you could help us finally launch a
• 21:26
  weekly Bob's Burgers podcast. Yes, we've set ourselves a goal of launching the
• 21:30
  new show once we hit a thousand supporters, and we're currently sitting at three
• 21:33
  hundred and fifty, so you know, there's still a way to go.
• 21:37
  But if you've enjoyed the thousand plus hours of concept we've chucked out over the
• 21:40
  last eight years, you can show your support by joining the four figure discomp
• 21:42
  family today and actually making it a reality. So go ahead, help us
• 21:47
  reach our goal and finally launched that Bob's Burgers podcast by going to patreon dot
• 21:51
  com slash four figure discount. You have the parent inside you right now,
• 21:53
  so use it. The original airdate of Marge's Sun Poisoning was November thirteenth,
• 22:03
  two thousand and five. Production code gab F two zero, written by Daniel
• 22:07
  Chun About Daniel Chunt, the writer of this episode. This was the first
• 22:11
  one he ever wrote for The Simpsons. He went on to become the head
• 22:14
  writer and executive producer of the Office. Well done, Daniel, Yes,
• 22:18
  moving on to I Dare I say bigger and better things by this point?
• 22:22
  I think because The Office is one of the most acclaimed US sitcoms of all
• 22:27
  time, especially in the last twenty years, certainly of recent years, certainly
• 22:32
  the twenty fifth century. Yeah, I mean it's one that people just keep
• 22:34
  going back to and back to and back to. Yeah. I mean,
• 22:37
  it's probably one of the things that Netflix was built on. It really was.
• 22:41
  Yeah. Well, do you think that's probably Steve Carrell's best role ever?
• 22:47
  Is that? Is that if if he had to put something on his
• 22:49
  tombstone when it came to a role, is that what's going on there,
• 22:52
  I reckon. So, yeah, I think that's is there a bigger role
• 22:56
  than Michael Scott. You know, he's the fort y old version of things
• 22:59
  like that, But I don't think it gets any bigger than that for him.
• 23:02
  I think when the time comes and we bid farewell to Steve Carrell a
• 23:04
  little saying in his um in his obituary, that'll be the first thing Star
• 23:08
  of the Office, Steve Correll. Yeah, I think The Office too was
• 23:12
  one of those shows that seemed to be meaned a lot more than others when
• 23:15
  when gifts and means became a thing. Yeah, absolutely, when that first
• 23:19
  started. Yeah, you were seeing a lot of a lot of Office reaction
• 23:23
  shots. Yeah, it seemed. I don't know if it started doing that
• 23:29
  in response to it or if it started. I mean, because you hear
• 23:32
  about movies and TV shows that are basically crafting scenes like oh yeah, they'll
• 23:36
  meme this or they'll turn this into a gift. So but yeah, I
• 23:41
  think The Office was definitely one of the first to be adopted by by social
• 23:45
  media in that regard. Reason I bring up The Office once again, All
• 23:48
  ties, all ties into the great circle of four figure discounts. Life.
• 23:52
  Our man Patton Right, one of our very first patrons, the first person
• 23:56
  to ever donate any made to this, to this little crazy empire that we've
• 23:59
  been building it the four Finger Discount Network. Pat Right and his beloved wife
• 24:03
  Katie are launching exclusively for us on the few on the four Finger Discount Network.
• 24:07
  They're going to be creating their own podcast. They've sent me the first
• 24:08
  episode yesterday on the Office, So if you're a fan of the Office,
• 24:11
  you can hear Pat Right and his wife Katie discussed every episode of all time,
• 24:15
  starting with the pilot of the first episode in My Possession. We're gonna
• 24:18
  beginning a couple more in the bag and we're gonna be launching that one in
• 24:21
  the coming weeks as well, so look out for that. I'll promote it
• 24:22
  on all the social media pages. But there's going to be an Office podcast
• 24:26
  here on the fourth Finger Discount Network, not hosted by us. Oh my
• 24:30
  god, a branch an atmostde They're branching out Pat Wright stage in our hostile
• 24:34
  takeover. Yeah, although is Pat Canadian? Pet Canadian? He is Canadian?
• 24:38
  Yes, okay, so won't it'll be a polite to take over?
• 24:45
  All right? So as I said, we're here to review Marge's son Poisoning.
• 24:48
  It was written by Daniel Chun, directed by our man Mike b Anderson
• 24:52
  and the couch gay. Let's discuss the couch game. He said at the
• 24:53
  start that you enjoyed it. It was almost like a mini horror movie,
• 24:56
  wasn't it. It was? It felt direct out of Treehouse of Horror.
• 25:00
  It really did. I mean, there should have been what started Treouse of
• 25:03
  Horror sixteen last week? You'd think so, yeah, because and it's like,
• 25:07
  oh, okay, oh they've been the couches a monster it's eating them
• 25:11
  or they're running away from the couch. That's oh, that's all good.
• 25:12
  Now let's get on the episode. D No, No, that's there's more.
• 25:17
  Oh, this couch is all over town. That are, you know,
• 25:21
  snapping people up, whether it's Sherry and Terry, Moe is being attacked
• 25:25
  by multiple couches someone other people are getting devoured. Had a nice, uh,
• 25:32
  spooky horror movie feel to it. And yeah, we're on a little
• 25:33
  longer than I expected, but just long enough. And didn't you know,
• 25:37
  didn't outstay It's welcome, I know, not at all, because last week,
• 25:41
  what did our stays, wellcome, I say last week, I mean
• 25:42
  never the last episode of seasons seventeen, Treouse of Horror sixteen that the Cane
• 25:47
  and Curtis watching the baseball that just went on and on and nine and nine
• 25:49
  and nine. Yeah, yes, and I know they have to cram Cane
• 25:53
  and Cotis into the tree House of Horrors somehow, but you literally could have
• 25:56
  had this couch gag, just have them get eaten by the couch on the
• 26:00
  ship or something like that problem solved. It would have been far more enjoyable.
• 26:03
  I think, so. Yeah, anyway, but yeah, it's a
• 26:07
  good couch gate this one. I wonder who who did it. I'm not
• 26:08
  too sure. I wonder what there was like a guest animal doesn't say anything
• 26:11
  on the wiki page. But anyway, So the episode kicks off with the
• 26:15
  family at Paradise Pier and March says she always wants to write that ferrest wheel,
• 26:18
  but it explodes because they're tearing the pier down to build condos for rich
• 26:23
  idiots, and but says, what are the joke is going to do?
• 26:26
  Or were they going to do their drugs? What are they going to re
• 26:27
  under? I don't worry, They're strong people. They'll find something that's back.
• 26:32
  Have you ever had a run in with a junkie under a bridge?
• 26:34
  I've said this story on the podcast before we did. There's a bridget goes
• 26:37
  over. There's numerous bridges, but there's a bridget goes over, sort of
• 26:40
  like the middle part of the Las Vegas strip. And we'll better go up
• 26:42
  and over the stairs. And I remember Nickel on a honeymoon. We'll better
• 26:45
  walk up. And this guy's just like a mate. How much for your
• 26:49
  wife or how much for your missus for half an hour? Or how much
• 26:52
  for your game from a half an hour? And I was like how much
• 26:55
  you got? No? I was just like Nicola, just keep I mean
• 27:00
  was flattered, like Nick, you're junk under a pitch. You got to
• 27:04
  take those compliments when you can get them. I guess absolutely. I don't
• 27:08
  know how committed that gentleman is to the junkie lifestyle. Yeah, he should
• 27:14
  be spending his money on drugs rather than other people's wives. Or maybe you
• 27:17
  didn't actually ask money. I think you just said, can I borrow your
• 27:19
  missus for half an hour? I think he just sets something Okay, committed
• 27:22
  to the junk because it was just cadging. He wasn't going to pay You're
• 27:26
  just like, yeah, three feet lend is your wife, We pay you
• 27:30
  back back. Always wants to be a to score the junk. He's come
• 27:36
  up to you at the bus stop. Hey mate, you got home.
• 27:37
  You've got money for a pack of smokes. I'll pay you back tomorrow.
• 27:38
  I'm like, well, you're really mate, you need to get home if
• 27:45
  you got two fifty oh get we need to use the phone. Remember they
• 27:48
  starts money for the phone. Yeah, that payphones died out. That was
• 27:51
  sucking at that little scheme, but they go. I did really enjoy actually
• 27:56
  here when they're pulling down there the various little stores in games, how the
• 28:00
  bottles didn't fall down? I know. I mean, you're a bit of
• 28:04
  a reminiscent of the South Park we recently did when they were, yeah,
• 28:08
  taking advantage of by the carnies who made the ball that the whole goes through
• 28:12
  just a turn a bit too small, and yeah, it's I would say
• 28:17
  it's common knowledge, but it's a bit of a common stereotype that no matter
• 28:21
  how hard you throw a ball that that stuck with milk bottles, that I
• 28:23
  will never fall down finally they finally revealed the horrible truth. By the way,
• 28:29
  if you I found at South Park and you haven't checked out that podcast,
• 28:32
  we just uploaded our review of Chef a one of the most notable episodes
• 28:36
  of all time. South Chef A Manly was running while at that point,
• 28:38
  so I highly advised to check out our south Park podcast Going down to South
• 28:41
  Park. It is really fun and quite honestly, it's catching up to four
• 28:45
  figure discount. It's going pretty fucking well when it comes to people listening to
• 28:48
  that show. So hey, I love South Park and I've been watching the
• 28:52
  new episodes and the last two or three episodes have been really good. Have
• 28:55
  you seen the Japanese toilet one yet? Because that was fucking hilarious. I
• 28:59
  have not seen it yet. Unfortunately, I'm the cue, so I'll ramp
• 29:03
  it up, ramp it up the que a bit. That's one thing Tray
• 29:06
  and Matt. I know it's training Matt who are in charges, but whoever's
• 29:07
  in charge of distributing the south Like, they do it right. They put
• 29:11
  it on TV and they make it accessible immediately worldwide. It's like you want
• 29:15
  to watch your ship here. It is. It's like that's how it should
• 29:17
  be. Yeah, don't need to part it, don't need to VPN.
• 29:22
  You know everyone out there, you know everyone's talking about at the same time.
• 29:26
  Yeah, it's really good stuff. So yeah, check out going down
• 29:26
  to South Park if you haven't already. But yes, the bottles don't fall
• 29:30
  down home. It goes to Captain Dodgems or before that though, the guy
• 29:33
  who approaches that they do the jackhammer and I think it's like the sledgehammer or
• 29:37
  whatever, the bottles trying to get him to fall over. Then Rosco from
• 29:40
  the steel mill factory arrives to check it out. Oh my gosh, that
• 29:45
  worke hard. We play hard. That was in. There were a few
• 29:49
  there are a few shout outs in this episode, or a few callbacks.
• 29:52
  I mean, the whole life partner thing is apparently a bit of a callback
• 29:56
  as well, is it to what? Yeah, that's what I'm trying to
• 29:59
  That's I was trying to remember, because I'm like, who said, where
• 30:02
  did you see this? Who said it was a callback? I saw it
• 30:03
  on the internet, which wouldn't lie to me. Okay, yeah, um,
• 30:07
  well it looked they didn't say to what it was a callback too.
• 30:11
  Yeah, I too sure. Um anyway, but he goes to the other
• 30:15
  dodging cars and he takes the red one and he connects to the tram line.
• 30:18
  I'm assuming it's a tram line, and that's how he gets driving along.
• 30:21
  I did love did love wise guy or guy with the wax guy boy
• 30:25
  saying shouldn't be a problem, and he bumps into the cops and they treat
• 30:30
  like the dodging cars. I hate this, right, there's always that one
• 30:32
  kid that just gets stuck in the corner on the dodgings or that you know,
• 30:34
  there's always that one where like the dad can't operate it properly, so
• 30:38
  that the guys trying to fix it, and he's just the dad's so embarrassed
• 30:41
  and he can't operate the fucking dodging. He's like hanging on with one hand
• 30:45
  and ship trying to steal the car, giving it a shake. Then we
• 30:51
  see all the different things getting pulled down. King Neptune saltwater bath which cures
• 30:55
  imbacility is how he said the word in facility inmbciles imbacility. I'm not even
• 30:59
  sure it's basil. He is a word. Tell let's go with it,
• 31:00
  Let's go with it, Ah, doctor Lunstrong's tobacco station and sulfur pops.
• 31:04
  That loud pronouncement means it's working. And magnesium vapor soaked tubs. But what's
• 31:10
  one of these? Much as No, So he goes limp, just behaving
• 31:11
  like a even ture little child that kids tend to do. Lisa, my
• 31:17
  daughter, Holly's just learned how to do that, so doesn't get what she
• 31:19
  wants. You're holding her hand, Limp and oh no. To the people
• 31:25
  who are watching it, it's like, look look at that awful man dragging
• 31:29
  his child. It's like she's not walking to drag it. What do you
• 31:32
  want me to do? So? You know, and even Marge here they
• 31:36
  actually pointed out in this moment he's just faking that he's lost vitality. Yes,
• 31:40
  I believe it's like no years. And then Homer says it is Robusto
• 31:45
  for sale. He's not for sale, but he wants to um sell of
• 31:48
  his stuff. So Homer buys his last dumbbell for five dollars. And this
• 31:52
  is where Marge sees the tandem bike. She's very intrigued by this. And
• 31:56
  I looked at this and went, that's actually a really fun idea. I
• 32:00
  don't know if Nicola and I together would have the coordination to operate one though.
• 32:02
  They seem like you'd have to be perfectly in sync, like one person
• 32:07
  slightly off and it's old game over, you know. That's the thing.
• 32:09
  It seems very much like a test of your relationship. And if you couldn't
• 32:14
  be in sync riding and riding a bike, then you'd probably start snapping it.
• 32:16
  Well, no, it was your fault on whatever. I don't know.
• 32:21
  To me attend them bike just does not look like fun at all,
• 32:23
  because like that point, it would have been twenty I want to say,
• 32:28
  you've maybe fifteen, twenty sixteen. Maybe I've brought this story up years and
• 32:30
  years ago were probably going to happen. But we're in Adelaide and they've got
• 32:35
  these bike ride tours where you're you're ride like mountain bikes right up through the
• 32:38
  hills and through the bush and ship and then you end up riding through the
• 32:42
  city a bit and you come to like suburbia, and then you ride at
• 32:45
  this guy's place who sort of runs the place right sort of at his house
• 32:46
  in Suburbia. Nikola, fine, fucking up these hills, down these hills,
• 32:52
  no issue. Through the city of Adelaide. No, it's kind of
• 32:53
  like a big gelong Adelaide. But she's stopping at the traffic. She's fine,
• 32:57
  blah blah blah. We get to suburbia, sort of just ride along
• 33:00
  giant, wide fucking street, barely a car part on the side of the
• 33:04
  road, no one around. I was here, crash splash, turned around
• 33:07
  Nicolas laying in the gutter if they bite titty hanging out of her dress,
• 33:10
  just fucking lay in there. Nicola, what happened? She's like, I
• 33:15
  don't know, I lost control. I'm like, this is where you lost
• 33:19
  control. And there's the whole time when she's just laying there, boob hanging
• 33:24
  out. This is guy who's watering his front lawn like his natures trip,
• 33:28
  just looking at her, none of us saying that, noting I was just
• 33:30
  watering his grass watching looking at it. What a creep. I was just
• 33:35
  like her. I was just like, Nicola, should put a bob away.
• 33:37
  I was like, you're done. He's just It's just like he's just
• 33:39
  like standing there watering nare sip, watching her laying in the gutter. But
• 33:44
  yeah, I just remember always thinking Nicholas you went through the hills, through
• 33:46
  the traffic in the city of guests. The suburbia just done, so defeated
• 33:50
  by the suburbs of Adelaide. Whenever I get intreated by the idea of a
• 33:53
  tandem bike, I think of that moment and go, if you can't write
• 33:57
  through suburbia, if you can't handle the streets of Adelaide, maybe the streets
• 34:02
  of Gelong out a question. By the way, we mentioned parking on our
• 34:07
  recent review of the parking space for Talking Seinfeld, and we've got a message
• 34:12
  from a one of our listeners, one of our patrons, of course,
• 34:15
  oh i'll say his name, So if you're a fan of signf I check
• 34:16
  it out, but you'll we will be responding to it because it was It
• 34:20
  wasn't a heated message, but it was from It was defending the idea of
• 34:22
  putting a bike lane in Geelong. It was one of a man, Dan
• 34:25
  Motter, and he is he's an American who's never been a Gelonge says,
• 34:30
  granted that, but he's a city planner who specializes in transportation, so he
• 34:34
  was very Look, he didn't agree with our opinion and he's got to give
• 34:37
  this big spear and I was like, I think we need to retort to
• 34:39
  this on our talking sign of our podcast, so listen out for an episode
• 34:43
  of The Keys. We were retorting to that. Indeed, indeed, I
• 34:46
  won't go into it town because that's for that episode. Yeah, Dan,
• 34:51
  I believe I prefaced my ramp by saying, these guys have got good intentions
• 34:55
  and a good idea, and it be better if cities were all a bit
• 34:59
  more bike. But at the same time, you went about it all wrong,
• 35:02
  Shave. We can't blame you for the traffic congestion because you had good
• 35:07
  intentions. But we'll talk well, Dan, Prepare for a Prepare for a
• 35:15
  big rebuttal Yeah, that's a tease for our episode of Talking Sipop for The
• 35:17
  Keys the season finale of season three. A bicycle belt for two and I
• 35:23
  could be one of those two on me. If I buy a bicycle belt
• 35:30
  for two, will you ride with me? I don't hate your mother,
• 35:35
  I just won't be sad when she dies forty seven forty eight. I was
• 35:38
  asking for something, Yes, sure, whatever you want ninety five ninety six,
• 35:44
  thirteen sixty four Banana. It was. It was pretty much a joke
• 35:46
  throughout this whole opening at home. I'll just being a dickted margin whenever situations
• 35:52
  like this OC I tend to ride in my notes, Oh, great homes
• 35:53
  being a joke? This time I write great homes being an asshole? Do
• 35:58
  you think when he really was? Do you think moments like that cause you
• 36:00
  to sort of switch off a bit when you're watching the Do you think it
• 36:04
  puts the bad taste in your mouth? And do you think that's what's caused
• 36:07
  you to not really see the positives of the marsh story because you're not fixated
• 36:09
  on the home, but it just leaves a bad taste, like, Oh,
• 36:12
  it's one of these ones, I think. So I wouldn't be surprised
• 36:15
  if that was actually the case. When you know, you push the jerk
• 36:19
  angle just into the red I'm like, really, you're going to be like
• 36:22
  this, I don't know, man, If you're not going to meet me
• 36:24
  halfway, forget about it. So she crosses tent buying a tandem bike off
• 36:30
  her bucket list. She also wants to visit holy Land and return safely,
• 36:34
  download something that never get new hairstyle though, yeah, and never never change
• 36:39
  hair do, and try wheatbread. This is the speaking of wheatbread. Right
• 36:44
  when you go to subway and you say I want wholemeal bread, they give
• 36:47
  your wheatbread. And what this motherfucker is not weak. This is not wholemeal
• 36:51
  bread like multigrain bread. It's wheatbread. I'm like, there's no grains on
• 36:54
  this, Like that's the closest thing we have. I'm like it might be
• 36:58
  the closest, but I asked for LTI gram bread. Used to have multigran
• 37:00
  bread. I wouldn't have it anymore. I'm like, well, you just
• 37:02
  need to tell me that next time instead of just assuming I want your wheatbread.
• 37:07
  I've met a subway in a while. Is it still? Is it
• 37:09
  still a tasty sandwich? I haven't been. I didn't go because we had
• 37:14
  a letter shortage here in Australia recently and they started putting cabbage in with the
• 37:17
  letters and I was like, I'm not eating a solid sandwich of cabbage in
• 37:20
  it. No, thank you, It's just not happening. Yeah, And
• 37:22
  I haven't again. It's been six months. I just I prefer to just
• 37:24
  make my lunches. Now now that I'm working from home, I've sort of
• 37:28
  have more time to make my own lunches. I used to get Subway when
• 37:30
  I wanted a healthy year option for lunch when I was working in the office.
• 37:32
  But now that I'm at home, I'm like, do my shopping on
• 37:35
  a Sunday, buying my ship for the week, and i make my salid
• 37:37
  roles for lunch, and I'm happier. Yeah, save your money. That
• 37:39
  makes a whole bunch of sense. Yeah. So now we're at home and
• 37:44
  Homer's not refusing to ride the buck of Marge. He's just showing no interest
• 37:47
  at all. He'd rather watch TV. And but also, and that's when
• 37:52
  Marge says, I was really looking forward to it. I was like,
• 37:54
  oh man, this is really not heartbreaking. It's just like it makes home
• 37:59
  to look give them work us, you know, Like I said, I
• 38:00
  think that was the one two punch that's like, this episode is copying an
• 38:06
  attitude that I don't necessarily enjoy. Yeah, we all see marges like our
• 38:09
  mother. She's our country mother, and we don't like her seeing her feel
• 38:13
  sad. So but at first, you know, he'd rather play the video
• 38:15
  game, which you know, I like the joke that the fact that he
• 38:17
  was playing tennem Bike Robbing one and Maggie pretends to be asleep, so Marge
• 38:22
  tries riding it by herself. She keeps crashing, and she finally is the
• 38:25
  hang of it. But Bart's in the treehouse of with Nelson and Millhouse and
• 38:29
  they point out how lonely she is and where Bart sees it, and you
• 38:31
  know, he wakes her up in the morning and offers to go for a
• 38:34
  bike ride and she's like, there's gotta be a catchy. He's like,
• 38:37
  nope, he just wants to be a good son. I was like,
• 38:37
  oh, that's nice. That was a nice turn. That made me think
• 38:42
  this was could be going somewhere. It might might right redeem itself. And
• 38:45
  dear that this whole following sequence where they're you know, riding through the streets
• 38:50
  and having a mid of a having a bit of fun together, Yeah,
• 38:52
  it was heartwarming. One say she brings up. I think she says,
• 38:57
  you're just trying to get me a call pizza in the morning or something,
• 38:59
  which leads to calling Dominoes which isn't open yet and having an argument with a
• 39:02
  recorded message. Because it's season seventeen, Homer Barton Marge and now singing Sweet
• 39:08
  Home Alabama as we come back from commercial just driving through the streets of Springfield,
• 39:13
  taking it all the scenery and all the various things going on. I
• 39:15
  do like it when they just sort of go through Springfield, whether it were
• 39:17
  driving through or right and a bike. In this example, you just see
• 39:21
  life in Springfield just happening. A day in the life of Springfield. I
• 39:23
  like it. We see moments like this and they end up going through a
• 39:25
  scary woods and then they arrive it. I think it was a place called
• 39:29
  Springshire. Was that where what it was called the place they arrived at.
• 39:32
  That sounds right. Just double check lets Springshire in my notes, but for
• 39:36
  some reason that does seems to like it's going to be wrong. I'm just
• 39:37
  gonna double check spring Shire, Simpsons. It is, Yeah, Springshire,
• 39:40
  that's what it's called, all of you in England, Springshier. It's Lincolnshire,
• 39:45
  lincoln not Inncolnshire, Lincolnshire, Springshier, Springshire. I guess we should
• 39:51
  probably say Springsher, considering that there it seems British like tea tea tea pot.
• 39:55
  Yeah, it's got a little bit of a British field this episode.
• 39:59
  Say, I wouldn't be surprised, spring Shier, Springshier, what sounds nice.
• 40:04
  I think spring Shire sounds nicer Springshire. They're both nice. They're both
• 40:07
  nice. Yes, but I can't we buy, can't we? You know,
• 40:10
  bet on both the you know, being good. I like the idea
• 40:14
  that there has always been this nice place, but Marge has never visited because
• 40:16
  you're scared to go through the dark woods, like there's gonna be a little
• 40:20
  there's a reason why they have never gone here before. But they arrive,
• 40:22
  they come across the what was the place called the leaf Garret? The leaf
• 40:28
  Garrett, Yes, a little bit of a plate. You're far too young
• 40:31
  to be aware of. A seventies pop star named Lafe Garret lost them.
• 40:37
  I knew this would have been something, but I'm like, guy, will
• 40:39
  explain to me. It was lost on me. My sisters were very big
• 40:44
  on him back in the back in the late seventies. I'm like, hey,
• 40:45
  this girl looks like a wiener because I was a charming little brother.
• 40:52
  Is it because also, too that you think that, you know, when
• 40:55
  I've never had I had a younger sister, when he had older sisters.
• 41:00
  When they started taking notice of boys, were you protective of your sisters or
• 41:04
  because they were older, you didn't have that sort of element to you.
• 41:07
  No, I'm not protective of all my sisters. I mean I think there
• 41:09
  was some element of me that was like part of me wanted to defend them
• 41:15
  if they needed defense. And Bart of me also recognized there's not much I
• 41:19
  can do against this guy who's got maybe two feet on me, also has
• 41:22
  a mustache. I meanwhile, I'm talking like that, you'd be nice to
• 41:29
  my sister, you like me to deal with or else or else, but
• 41:34
  it needs the bathrooms. They go into the tea house and Bart is enjoying
• 41:37
  all the various sweets. That's the thing about having a tea. It's like
• 41:40
  a there's an it's like called English tea. What's the call when you go
• 41:44
  out for like a small supply tea? Yes, high tea, that's it.
• 41:47
  Yes. And I remember one time Nichols, we're going to a high
• 41:51
  tea like we'll got in England and her dad organized and I was like,
• 41:52
  high team. I don't drink tea, God damn it. And I'm like
• 41:55
  whatever, we're here, we're here, let's just do it. And we're
• 41:58
  then it's like what how many cakes would you like? And I was like,
• 42:00
  this is a high tea. This is like the endless scones. I
• 42:05
  was like, this is awesome. I hope you sort of you took him
• 42:07
  inside, said you got a branding problem. Yeah, you're calling this high
• 42:12
  tea? Why don't you call it all? Are you going to eat cakes?
• 42:15
  I get the feeling you would quadruple your aladiness. Cake buffet is what
• 42:22
  it should be called. Homer then enters mos. He finds the more stuck
• 42:27
  under Devil's Advocate, and I can't believe he didn't realize that you're falling.
• 42:30
  No, it's your favorite moment that hurts. Hey, what's the big idea?
• 42:37
  Getting trapped under that thing? Long story. We were trying to impress
• 42:42
  some girls and things kind of got away from us. Just from a record,
• 42:45
  I regretting Latin Homer, how'd your right arm get so strong just lifting
• 42:52
  this stumbo nine fifty? I'm pretty happy with it. Maybe no, it's
• 43:00
  lefties turn. Oh no you don't. I just got an idea. Hey
• 43:10
  what you yeah? Son? Bart goes through the fridge and all he can
• 43:20
  say is healthy food. Now, did Marge take away all the treats?
• 43:22
  Out of the fridge, so that Bart would want to go back to the
• 43:25
  tea house. Is that? What is that the idea you got from this?
• 43:28
  That's a pretty savvy move, I think. I think Marge and might
• 43:31
  have pulled a bit of a swifty there. You know. Either way she
• 43:35
  wins, you know, but it's like, oh, well, I guess
• 43:37
  I'm gonna have to have some of these healthy snacks or you get on the
• 43:40
  bike and your ride to the cake place. Yeah, either way, Marge
• 43:45
  is coming out of win and so is Bart. This is getting some exercise
• 43:49
  that he wouldn't be getting otherwise, that's true. And you know, all
• 43:52
  that all that bike riding is going to earn the gate, all the sugar.
• 43:55
  He's interesting or some of it at least. Anyway, as you think
• 43:59
  points that he bales on Millhouse, I think it with a dentist appointment or
• 44:01
  something like that. And it's a lazy eye. Lazy eye, that's right.
• 44:05
  Yeah. So you can see here that Bart is now putting Marge above
• 44:07
  his friends, which is nice, but it's not a healthy relationship all the
• 44:12
  time. Balance moderation, Yeah, everything in moderation, which Texan and arrives
• 44:19
  and Mow and hammer are going to swindle him, and I just really enjoyed
• 44:22
  this. I love a good hommer remost scheme. Give me a bottle of
• 44:25
  bourbon. I got a new liver and I'm breaking it in. Excuse me,
• 44:30
  mister Barker third man, I have a sugar free kinky rail and make
• 44:37
  it flat. Your bibbles being made buds gold durn it son? What the
• 44:42
  hell kind of cissy are you? Hey? Are you calling my life partner
• 44:45
  a sissy because a hundred bucks says he could whoop you an arm wrestling jexis
• 44:50
  penny it is? Yeah, gol, dang it, i'n't played like a
• 44:57
  dim which kazoo? Yes, we make a dyn of my team. Huh
• 45:04
  with your arm and my head? Gonk, we're going right to the top.
• 45:07
  Whoa, This is one texting who don't like when he's made out to
• 45:12
  be a fool. Well, what do you like? I don't know?
• 45:15
  A good book? Long walk on the beach. So we kind of even
• 45:22
  things up here, not yet, I want to play some frisbee bastely Marge
• 45:27
  and Bart and they've arrived at the teahouse, but unfortunately it's closed because they
• 45:30
  had rat droppings in the cakes because they just weren't paying attention. So Bart
• 45:36
  then sees this and he's like, when just doesn't have to be the end
• 45:38
  of our little adventure. You come to my treehouse and Marge's taking it back.
• 45:43
  You're inviting me to your treehouse, And I'm thinking when that happened,
• 45:45
  I was like, you're right, Marge has never been in the treehouse by
• 45:50
  invitation. True, But I think mothers would have enough mindfulness to go.
• 45:55
  That's for the kids go. I mean, you'd stay out of there only
• 45:59
  in only in case of emergency would you go in. You know, you've
• 46:01
  got to respect some boundaries in that regard. I was watching this shot though,
• 46:06
  when she's sitting there with Bart. You had tall marges with her hair
• 46:08
  and stuff, and she's sort of sitting on her bum and nowhere any touching
• 46:10
  the roof, And it gave him the idea for a video or an editorial
• 46:15
  or some kind of the unexplained sort of layout of BArch tree House and the
• 46:21
  size of this new some weeks to have a yeah, the weird geography of
• 46:25
  Springfield, Yeah, or just BArch Treehouse in particular. It's just because sometimes
• 46:30
  there's giant parties with adults, and yeah, some weeks it's been for James
• 46:34
  Kahn. Sometimes it's too small for yeah anything else. Yeah, but it's
• 46:38
  like how big is this tree exactly that this treehouse is in. But yeah,
• 46:43
  for Marges, I'm not quite a fan of how dirty the places.
• 46:45
  There's some standing water that began as a bowl of cereal and Marches look,
• 46:49
  I can turn this treehouse into a tea house. Nice play on words there
• 46:52
  by March I actually like this. She pretends to throw out his comics like
• 46:58
  you got him. I mean we mentioned on what would have been review the
• 47:01
  Trust where it was I was the King of the Hill podcast who recently did
• 47:05
  the Order of the Straight Arrow talking about trust between a father and son.
• 47:07
  You don't want to play jokes and your kids all the time because I never
• 47:09
  trust you in the end. But it's okay to occasionally have a little sort
• 47:13
  of jab here, like marshes I threw out of your comics. Why would
• 47:15
  you do that since she's just laughing. Pulling pranks is different to sort of
• 47:20
  having a bit of a joke, you know. So this is just a
• 47:21
  nice little joke from March here, and then she steals them. In my
• 47:23
  last so you can never read them again. And I think the younger,
• 47:27
  the child, the quickie, you've got to let him know. Oh yes,
• 47:31
  it's like my dad can't let it linger. We mentioned in that podcast
• 47:36
  that my dad constantly would make these jokes with me growing up to the point
• 47:38
  Wright has never trust him anymore, and he sometimes makes these jokes of Alliott,
• 47:42
  and I'm like, no, no, no, I'm like, this
• 47:44
  kid is for He takes everything literally. He's like, he's like directs from
• 47:51
  Guardians the Galaxy. He got no sense of irony, no, no grasp
• 47:53
  of nuance. If you tell him that that nugget he's just eating is actually
• 47:58
  dinosaur pooh, he will believe you and he won't eat nuggets ever again.
• 48:00
  So please, sir. Maybe not such a bad thing, but yeah,
• 48:07
  but if it's the only thing he eats, and to get food, to
• 48:08
  get poating in him somehow, mister Davis, very good point. But this
• 48:12
  is where we see Homer and Mode they're leaving for the arm wrestling circuit.
• 48:15
  How will this affect your job at the plant? Negatively? Ascatively? I
• 48:17
  assume they mightn't make this joke anymore. To be honest, To be honest,
• 48:23
  do we ever even see him working at the plant anymore. I forgot
• 48:27
  it even has a job. It's been a while and they may as well
• 48:30
  have just like ended his job at the plant. It's given him some other
• 48:32
  way of making money, whether it be like a worker's comp or something.
• 48:35
  Just don't worry about that job anymore, you know. Yeah, this kind
• 48:38
  of felt like the instance where the air sort of came out of the tires
• 48:43
  when there's like, don't you have a job? Yeah? I mean you're
• 48:47
  not even coming with ways to sort of work around it anymore. It's just
• 48:51
  like, yeah, I don't go to work an him. I wonder if,
• 48:54
  ah see, there's pros and kinds of this idea, but I wonder
• 48:57
  if, like, to say, season thirteen that has went all right,
• 49:00
  an accident happens at the power plant and Homer gets workers where it gets paid
• 49:02
  a weekly amount of money. He doesn't get it all in one lump sum.
• 49:06
  He gets it paid weekly or whatever, right, so the family can
• 49:07
  live. But then would the viewer not be able to relate to Homer because
• 49:12
  you need to have him, but he's not working anyway. Though, So
• 49:15
  the idea of like Homer being relatable is that he was like a middle class
• 49:17
  He had a dead end job, and he was relatable because seventy people feel
• 49:21
  like their job's a dead end job. It's like, oh, you know,
• 49:22
  he's pain, you're working to pay the bills. But if you never
• 49:24
  actually see him at the plant, what's the point in having it in the
• 49:27
  first place. He might as well of just having living as workers company.
• 49:30
  At least that would make sense as to why he's able to go on adventures
• 49:32
  all the time. It makes sense. Yeah, I mean, I don't
• 49:36
  know. Maybe after seventeen seasons, the idea of, yeah, following Homer
• 49:39
  to work again, it's like, oh, yeah, that's a bit dull.
• 49:43
  Yeah, I mean, but I'm not coming up with the story ideas
• 49:45
  that are work related. Can't be that hard, surely, and or coming
• 49:52
  up with ways to sort of fold the side hustle into Homer's everyday life that
• 49:57
  includes his job. That would be far too much worse. Like it just
• 50:00
  don't have him, just have him not do that job anymore. It would
• 50:02
  just make far more since he's living off workers. In my opinion, this
• 50:06
  would have been far easier. I get where you're coming from, because I
• 50:09
  think a lot of people's disdain for the Homer character in these later teen seasons
• 50:14
  came as results like how is he like? And just the writing in general?
• 50:19
  How was he able to do all these things when he's supposed to have
• 50:21
  a job, you know, because in the earlier seasons it wasn't very often
• 50:24
  he was off doing something that would forever take him away from his job.
• 50:28
  Might say that though there was a lot of side hustles, but they were
• 50:31
  side hustles. They weren't really taking him away from his job for long periods
• 50:36
  of time. Oh no, I mean he did go to space. That's
• 50:39
  a pretty big anyway, enough thought about it. But that's that's another story.
• 50:43
  That's another article or video we can do in the future. But how
• 50:46
  should Homer's character have been handled his job? But yeah, so she leaves
• 50:51
  Margins and bothered by it at all, and Home is concerned that she didn't
• 50:53
  care because she's happy now, she's content, she's got her son, she's
• 50:57
  got a friend to hang out with with. Homer's gonna be a friend in
• 50:59
  him, but it's going to be a friend. And Mo says, don't
• 51:01
  worry about it. You know, he's just thinking about himself. Let's go
• 51:04
  make some money. So we're now at the mall where the bathrooms are no
• 51:07
  longer at the end of a weird hallway. Why is that? I was
• 51:09
  thinking about that today. Actually, why do you always have to go down
• 51:12
  it's really weird and dingy, smelly hallway to get to the bathrooms to the
• 51:15
  toilets. I just think you want to keep the toilets as far away from
• 51:20
  the place of commerce as possible. That's actually a very good answer. Do
• 51:22
  you want the smell to be as far away from possible? Yeah? That
• 51:25
  is correct. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Thank you for answering that
• 51:29
  question for me. There you go, Dan, that's some planning advice for
• 51:34
  you, my man. I feel it's gonna be a feud here, guy
• 51:37
  versus Dan. I'm looking forward to it. But margin buy have bought a
• 51:40
  new T set Crusty Brand tea set from the China Syndrome. Marge is accidentally
• 51:45
  taking a salesman pen, so while she goes into return the pen to the
• 51:46
  salesman, but runs through the various crusty teapots sayings, I like that,
• 51:51
  what's this? I'm not doing that one learn from a professional kid, Yeah,
• 51:58
  the bulleys and make fun of him. Hey Simpson, what are you
• 52:01
  gonna do with that teapot? Gay y'all, I'll answer for you. Yes,
• 52:06
  what um uh? I just shoplifted this bad boy housewears never knew what
• 52:12
  hit him. One is still something cool because I'm gonna bring it back to
• 52:16
  the store for store credit. He are you gonna get credit without a gift
• 52:21
  re seat? Ass um, Well, we've seen your hanging out with your
• 52:24
  mom, Simpson. Word on the street is you're a mama's boy. There
• 52:31
  is no way that Bart Simpson is a mama's boy. Oh but aren't they
• 52:37
  jazzy? They match the new curtains we hung in your treehouse. He'll tryers
• 52:42
  on. I got your child's large because your tummy's getting kind of bloopy from
• 52:45
  all the cakes weep been having. Somebody here likes princess cakes. Princess cake,
• 52:52
  Bart, you just got yourself a nickname for life. Hey, Princess's
• 52:57
  cake. Want some princess cake? Are you having a fight with your boyfriends?
• 53:02
  Shut up? I don't want your stupid sweatshirt or your tea set lashing
• 53:08
  votes my warranty. I have a good life. Mom. I only hung
• 53:12
  out with you because I felt sorry for you that was weird. But this
• 53:19
  whole moment here, as I said, I thought it was quite believable in
• 53:22
  the sense that Bart's lashing out at Marge because he's doing all he can to
• 53:24
  keep his image, because he images everything. When you're a kid, your
• 53:28
  brand, as they talk about it in south Park recently, you can have
• 53:30
  your brand, and his brand is sort of like the bad boy of the
• 53:35
  fourth grade. And these bulleys are going to ruin. Actually, they spread
• 53:37
  the rumors about the princess cake. So he he lashes out at Marge and
• 53:40
  he says he only hung out with her because he felt sorry, which is
• 53:44
  true to an extent. It is, but you never say you never say
• 53:47
  that to anybody. No, you never say that. But like, he
• 53:51
  didn't only hang out with her because he felt sorry, maybe initially, but
• 53:53
  in the end he realized he'd liked hanging out with March. That was the
• 53:55
  thing, and that's why he was doing what he is now. He just
• 53:59
  sort of it was he was enjoying it too much, that I guess.
• 54:00
  But the bully's then ask Marge once he leaves if they can be taught how
• 54:05
  to smoke, and she says, no, you think they'd know how to
• 54:07
  smoke by now, I'm pretty sure you would assume. So. Yeah,
• 54:09
  So we come back and Barter is tearing down his treehouse all the all the
• 54:14
  new changes that Marge made, including fixing the booger wall and things like that.
• 54:16
  Back at my old place of work, I won't name any names,
• 54:20
  but we had the booger bandit. We referred to them as in the office
• 54:23
  where in the male's toilets there was just this boogers that would appear on the
• 54:28
  wall next to it. So the obviously this person would sit down and wipe
• 54:30
  their booger on the wall, and the cleaner would clean it. And you
• 54:32
  go out the next day and there to be boogers on the wall again.
• 54:36
  Oh my god. We never found out who the booger bandit was. It
• 54:38
  was a weird one. I had my suspicion. Lisa is concerned. She
• 54:45
  goes to see Bart. She looked, I'm really worried about mum. She's
• 54:47
  just been sitting there for two hours, petting the dog and not letting him
• 54:50
  leave, just just patting him, patting him, patting him. And Margining
• 54:52
  goes for a bike ride. We get the weird montage. But you said
• 54:55
  this was a Midnight Cowboys, which part of this was the bidnight Cowboy reference,
• 55:00
  just the vibe of it. Yeah, it's sort of closer to the
• 55:04
  end when, Yeah, things aren't going well for our two main characters at
• 55:08
  Midnight Cowboy. You know, one of them is getting very sick. Neither
• 55:10
  of them got any money. Life in New York City is just hard.
• 55:15
  So they decided to board a bus to Miami. Okay, but there you
• 55:17
  go. So he's got the bucket of fish hats tipped on her head.
• 55:20
  She sees the billboard for hugging your mother. She uses the basket from the
• 55:22
  bike in a barrel. I'm like, why is why is there a fire
• 55:24
  at a barrel? What he's going on in your baka makes sense with there
• 55:28
  going for that parody. Margers said to Bart that she sold the bike to
• 55:30
  the police. Go for a ride down the hill, and Bart tries to
• 55:36
  apologize. You know, I didn't mean I was I was just no,
• 55:37
  it was just caught up in the moment. So he suggests they do the
• 55:39
  karaoke night at the school. We never had this at our school. We
• 55:44
  never had a parent child event at school. The parents were never involved.
• 55:47
  The parents were part of the crowd and that's it when he came to school.
• 55:51
  Yes, personally, I'm all for that. I think there should be
• 55:55
  a separation of church and state when it comes to that kind of deal.
• 55:59
  Yeah, I don't think your parents should be involved in your school activities.
• 56:02
  They should witness them, they should not be part of them. The sort
• 56:06
  of this doesn't has nothing to do with um with school. But I remember
• 56:12
  when we used to go to the Geelong Show. My daddy is a hunter,
• 56:14
  right, likes you know, shoots his guns and the hunts rabbits and
• 56:15
  foxes and things like that, which I know you don't like hunting foxes,
• 56:19
  but you know he hunt because they killed the lambs and things like that for
• 56:21
  the farmers. But when you go to the Gelong Show. So speaking of
• 56:23
  carnivals earlier at the pier, and that one thing my dad was always the
• 56:28
  best at was the shooting the ducks, you know the duck game, right,
• 56:31
  but he would do is he'd buy it. He'd buy a set,
• 56:34
  right, buire the gun, work out how they've tweaked it, and then
• 56:37
  do another lot and go bang bang bang bang bang bang. It just get
• 56:40
  like perfect scores every time. So that's one thing my dad was like my
• 56:45
  dad and I always good at I was like, all right, Dad,
• 56:46
  I want that toy. He's like, all right, son, you're going
• 56:51
  to get it, buddy. Like you'd be like all right, he goes,
• 56:54
  and then the next guy would come. My dad used to always take
• 56:57
  great joy and go and shoots to the left as an experson to get into
• 57:01
  us, like, yeah, I worp this one out, heads up,
• 57:05
  aimed to the right, and but this thing, though, every gun had
• 57:09
  its own thing. One shot too high, one shot two fights to the
• 57:12
  left, and like once my dad had worked it out, it was just
• 57:14
  like you could never miss, basically. But every one when you know the
• 57:17
  games are talking about right with a ducks goalong the yeah, yeah, yes,
• 57:21
  yes, So I know they still do it because you're firing a weapon.
• 57:23
  Not sure if they're still allowed to do that. But my dad thought
• 57:25
  the first time he missed a few second time he just never missed. You
• 57:30
  just see the car and he's just like shite legend. But we're now at
• 57:36
  the arm Wrestling Championships. Marge still has not called Homer, pretends that she
• 57:39
  has. He says, don't worry about it. Get your head in the
• 57:42
  game. The first matches against Lefty the Right, he left Right. He's
• 57:45
  only lost once when he had a fight against the literacy. Homer too has
• 57:47
  lost that battle. Yes, and Homer then calls Marge during the fight.
• 57:51
  We pan out when we were revealed that he's actually midfight. When he's calling
• 57:54
  Marge and she's still answering, I'm like, what is the point of this?
• 57:58
  Doesn't make any sense? Well, this is the championship. The prize
• 58:01
  money is fifty dollars, so how are you going to be making money from
• 58:05
  this moment? Doesn't make any You're not making money because you have to pay
• 58:07
  fifty dollars to enter and if you win, you getting your money back.
• 58:10
  So why are we doing this? Oh? Well, they're not They're not
• 58:14
  the sharpest tool your own psych gags are killing the story, but most of
• 58:20
  He wants to make it to the quarterfinals of the East Division Class B over
• 58:22
  thirty five amateur grouping, but Home is not interested, so he starts heading
• 58:24
  home. We're now at the drunk paralegal karaoke supplier and March is choosing a
• 58:30
  song to sing as a duet with Bart and Skinner. Claims Ebony and ivory,
• 58:36
  because that's what he and Agnes always sing, or, as people refer
• 58:38
  to it, scary oke, scary talent. Adays, I'm singing a song
• 58:44
  with Bart tonight Capitol. My mother and I have been performing together since I
• 58:47
  was in fourth grade, and it's really brought us closer. Say more,
• 58:51
  where were you? A brightly colored car? Hurt my eyes? Don't worry,
• 58:55
  mother, I am your eyebomb and my man birds right here. Good
• 59:00
  boy, you can push your crib into mummy's room tonight. It's not a
• 59:04
  crib, it's a cut. If it has rails, it's a crab.
• 59:10
  She says, you can push your crib into mummy's room tonight. And I
• 59:13
  was like, that's this one step over a creepy. Yeah, it's and
• 59:16
  stupid. It's guys, we get it, Yeah, we get it.
• 59:22
  What the I cream would have been enough? You didn't need to push the
• 59:24
  crib into mummy's room. I was like, it's a cut. So now
• 59:29
  I have the karaoke night where people get the chance to butcher their favorites,
• 59:31
  and we have a Pooh getting quite overwhelmed singing where all the Cowboys Gone?
• 59:36
  Is that what it's called? Were the Cowboys? Gone it is yeah big
• 59:39
  in the early two thousands, m I think the woman who sang the Dawson's
• 59:45
  Craig theme song, I think sang that one. I don't want to wait
• 59:49
  for minute. There's something nostalgic about that song. For me, there is.
• 59:53
  I don't know if I started singing I don't want to wait for my
• 59:57
  life to be over in Cartman voice or Cartman di around the episode of South
• 1:00:00
  Buck but where whenever I sing him, that's how I sing it. The
• 1:00:09
  encartment voice is better though, makes it twice it really, I'm just gotta
• 1:00:14
  here. This was no. That song was released ninety six by Paula Cole.
• 1:00:17
  Well, yeah, but it is the same woman, Paula Cole.
• 1:00:20
  It is the same woman. Yes, yeah, but but she's saying,
• 1:00:22
  she's saying when of Dulin's critics was ninety eight, I reckon, don't you?
• 1:00:25
  I think so? Yeah? It's okay, very late nineties, early
• 1:00:30
  two thousands to stall you when we me. It says here that she gained
• 1:00:37
  attentions for her performance as a vocalist. I'm Peter Gabriel's nineteen ninety three to
• 1:00:39
  nineteen ninety four Secret World Tour. She released her first album as a result,
• 1:00:44
  Peter and Paula nice. Yes, just need Mary. Where is my
• 1:00:52
  Childwen? Where he is my prairies? Where is my ha be? Indeed,
• 1:01:02
  God, God, good dude, do do do do? Do?
• 1:01:07
  Do do do? What? What do you think of a poosing it?
• 1:01:13
  It just sort of felt like absolute filler. I guess I sort of I
• 1:01:16
  guess I was. I was emphasizing how lame this night is though, isn't
• 1:01:20
  it. I think it's like, yeah, it felt It's like you feel
• 1:01:23
  like a gag. You feel like you're meant this feels like it's meant to
• 1:01:28
  be you know, a bit, but it's not working. Why is it
• 1:01:31
  the case? You know, he's really sort of going for it, and
• 1:01:35
  you know, the audience like we're not buying this up open. I don't
• 1:01:38
  know, Yeah, but just it felt uncomfortable more than funny. The margin
• 1:01:45
  bart are all dressed up for their for their show, but it's a big
• 1:01:47
  fan of his, Tinklis, and he's referring to her as mother. I
• 1:01:51
  think he caught a mother earlier in the episode as well. He did plenty
• 1:01:53
  of mum mother. Just it's just it's not weird, but it's just like
• 1:01:59
  it's it's my I only do it to take the piss. Yeah, mother,
• 1:02:01
  dear mother, Hello mother, Hello, Hello, Hello, mother.
• 1:02:07
  Might even have to you're a good buddy. Bat a Skinner and Agnes are
• 1:02:15
  here and they start singing their their evany in Ivory, and Wush envisions her
• 1:02:21
  and Bart being in the same position in a few years from now. She
• 1:02:22
  says, stop the show. She's just a bart. Don't call me mother,
• 1:02:27
  And she said, my son has no mumma's boy. Don't want you
• 1:02:29
  to turn into that. What a wall. And she says, you know
• 1:02:34
  your job is to give me things to worry about. So she rubs up
• 1:02:37
  his hair and she gives them the fire extimulature and he shoots people the fires
• 1:02:39
  from her skinner in the crowd and whatnot, and she laughed at him,
• 1:02:43
  saying, die die die. Was he okay? S Marge is now at
• 1:02:49
  home singing Sweet at Home Alabama by herself. But she has a smile on
• 1:02:52
  her face, which she's seeing it at this time because she's sort of remembering
• 1:02:54
  by her and Bart their pals. Now she doesn't need Bart there to sing
• 1:02:59
  it. She's like she's it's almost like she's content now with where they're at
• 1:03:01
  as a mother and mother and son duo. Yeah, but Homer arrives to
• 1:03:06
  sing the song with her, but he arrives with the trophy. I was
• 1:03:08
  like, he left mid first match, how does he have a trophy?
• 1:03:12
  Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, I know his arm was
• 1:03:15
  so strong that he's able to beat left in mcwrites and or writes MC left
• 1:03:17
  and or wader whe the hell his name was? But yeah, he shouldn't
• 1:03:20
  have got a trophy out of that. No, and didn't. The trophy
• 1:03:22
  didn't really add much to anything. No. The thing is, he talks
• 1:03:25
  about how he won a pied he contest on the way home, and I'm
• 1:03:29
  like, why didn't you just make the trophy the pied in contest trophy.
• 1:03:32
  But they go to bed, they get the bullies because they mentioned earlier that
• 1:03:36
  the bullies they wanted to see my Sharona. So they end up seeing my
• 1:03:37
  Sharona on the front lawn. Hommer throws the trophy at him and says that
• 1:03:40
  that's a pop music footnote, which is not true. My Sharona is a
• 1:03:45
  well, I suppose a bit of a foot No. No, I don't
• 1:03:47
  think the knack who sang my Sharona or ever went much further than My Sharona,
• 1:03:52
  but still a bit of a classic song. It's a classic song,
• 1:03:55
  but I've sort of put it in the same sort of level as Oh,
• 1:03:59
  Mickey, You're so fun, just so fun Mickey. Everyone knows that everyone
• 1:04:02
  enjoys it. You played at every wedding, that's true. But yeah,
• 1:04:05
  the Knack aren't going to be put into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
• 1:04:10
  That plus, you know, watching this with the subtitles on, you
• 1:04:14
  realize, oh, wait a minute, creepy song, pretty one. He
• 1:04:20
  always gives it up for the touch of the younger kind, is like,
• 1:04:24
  who was singing? This is Gary Glitter Death? And then the stairs?
• 1:04:29
  But that is our review of Marge's son Poisoning, all right. So yeah,
• 1:04:32
  overall it's um no table. So I really I enjoyed the Marge bart
• 1:04:36
  story. The Homer story didn't annoy me. It was just seemed pointless because
• 1:04:40
  when as soon as he got there it was over, I was like,
• 1:04:42
  what was the balls the point in the first place? Just to kill some
• 1:04:44
  time, I guess. But I warmed up to it a little, mainly
• 1:04:47
  because of just the warmthy you were giving off, Dan just you live to
• 1:04:51
  give and I did a little bit of receiving this time around. So okay,
• 1:04:57
  good for you. What do we learn Bomber? What did you learn
• 1:05:00
  from this episode? Mister Davis? Um that I well that if you that
• 1:05:06
  if you smash the crusty Bann teapot you have, would avoided the warranty you
• 1:05:11
  have. Indeed, I've learned that whenever I go to a high tea,
• 1:05:14
  make sure I'll look out for those rat droppings, just in case they weren't
• 1:05:16
  paying attention. From knee forward, your name droll me. All right,
• 1:05:21
  it's time for the Guy Davis New Name Championship. The current leader board stands
• 1:05:27
  at this in first position, we have Luke McKay. Now, actually we
• 1:05:30
  had a bit of controversy last week. Luke messaged me, so Ryan done,
• 1:05:35
  that was given the two points and the last guy that was New Name
• 1:05:38
  Championship it was actually going to Luke McKay. Luke says, Luke, I
• 1:05:40
  don't want to be that that person, but just let you know that the
• 1:05:44
  person you gave two points too didn't actually come up with the three that you
• 1:05:46
  read out. So they had a similar idea a name for the first segment
• 1:05:49
  and the next two were different. I just read the first name. It
• 1:05:53
  was the Treas of Horror. The two points actually last week didn't go to
• 1:05:56
  Ryan done that unfortunately, apologies Ryan, They went to Luke McKay. So
• 1:05:59
  Luke mcca is in first position on eight points, Nora Coker in second on
• 1:06:02
  five points, and in third position we have Garrowed Harrowhill on three points.
• 1:06:05
  So it was Ryan nun Lap. Just just rub it in a little bit
• 1:06:11
  more extra all right, what were the notable mentions this week? A couple
• 1:06:15
  of notable mentions before we get to the points. How I met my mother?
• 1:06:18
  That goes to Luke McKay. So Luke McKay's notable mentions this week,
• 1:06:23
  Hey and mom, I'd like to follow what's your thirty three fifty men?
• 1:06:28
  Heath? That will be all right. One point goes to Nope the top.
• 1:06:36
  Oh, he's no longer n Lap. That's Ryan dune Lap with the
• 1:06:39
  one point this week, Ryan, well done Lap. Yeah, a nice
• 1:06:44
  play on the Sylvester stallone arm wrestling movie. Over the top. Two points
• 1:06:48
  go to Tea Bartie. Tea Bartie is by Adam Woolhouse. I believe that
• 1:06:55
  is Adam's first points on the leaderboard this season. So what on, Adam,
• 1:06:59
  You're now in the wild card draw if you do not win this season.
• 1:07:01
  So Adam Wollhouse with the two points there on on Woolhouse in the house
• 1:07:05
  and three points for a nice bit of word play quality. That's tea time
• 1:07:13
  quality time. I really like that, and that's really good. That is
• 1:07:15
  by David Mott. Also their first points for this season. So well done.
• 1:07:19
  Some newbies here on the Guy Davis New Name Championship. I'm a fan
• 1:07:23
  indeed turned down for Mott. So current leaderboard stands at this now in third
• 1:07:30
  position, we have a three way tie all on three points. Good harrow
• 1:07:31
  Hill turned down for Matt, David Mott and Ryan Nunlap on three points.
• 1:07:36
  In second position. We have Nora Coca still on five and still in first
• 1:07:40
  position, Luke McKay on the eight points. Remember to be part of it.
• 1:07:44
  Just going to be a part of the Patreon Facebook group, to be
• 1:07:46
  part of the Guy Davis New Name Championship. Now, mister Davis, it's
• 1:07:49
  time for some mail bag for Marge's son poisoning. Yeah, Demail is here
• 1:07:57
  all right. First one here comes from turned down for Mott David says,
• 1:08:00
  what's your go to karaoke song? Mine is actually Ring of Fire by Johnny
• 1:08:05
  Cash. I can pull off a not had not half bad Johnny Cash.
• 1:08:10
  So that's one that I like to do, although it's a little it was
• 1:08:15
  almost a little too mellow. I'm trying to give a one. I did
• 1:08:18
  Tumbling Dice by the Stone, Yeah, and was told that it wasn't too
• 1:08:23
  bad, so I wasn't told to get off the stage, So I'll take
• 1:08:27
  that. What do you think mine is? And I once bolted this out
• 1:08:30
  at the Chinese Place on Yarrow Street here in Geelong, the karaoke place,
• 1:08:33
  and got a standing, got a standing ovation. We've talked about this about
• 1:08:38
  I wouldn't say was something about the Gunners. No, no, you're thinking
• 1:08:41
  of the one that was Proud Mary. I did Proud Mary once and also
• 1:08:43
  got a standing. Ova shad fucking forty year old women that forty women are
• 1:08:46
  dancing on their tables at that one. But what do you think is my
• 1:08:50
  go to? I'll just tell you my go to is Sweet Transvestite from Rocky
• 1:08:54
  Horror. Oh fucking love that song. No, just you got to commit.
• 1:09:00
  Yeah, that's a good one. Tim Curry just you can't imagine anyone
• 1:09:02
  else but Tim Cary playing that role, and he played the role. He
• 1:09:05
  played the role on the stage Shaw before the movie even came out, Like
• 1:09:09
  he just was Frankin further very much. So yeah, and I mean now
• 1:09:13
  it seems like every every soap star in the world when they want to branch
• 1:09:16
  out into a bit of a bit of theater stuff, was like, we're
• 1:09:19
  gonna play Franken for that'll be fun. I'm sometimes it backfires, like it
• 1:09:24
  does with Craig McLaughlin. So this one's from Glenn Gomez. Oh, I
• 1:09:30
  think this one might be for me. What do you see doing together with
• 1:09:31
  your kids? Well, you've got Louise's that's true, Louisa's children do things
• 1:09:40
  with them, um when it comes to avoid each other. I'm just looking
• 1:09:45
  forward to just thing things like playing video games with Eliott to the point where
• 1:09:47
  like it's actually like a challenge, you know, where like you don't have
• 1:09:50
  to sort of pretend to lose, because Alice saw at that age where like
• 1:09:55
  he doesn't like to occasionally I all beat him, just keep things interesting,
• 1:09:58
  but you have to sort of like make an effort to lose when you're doing
• 1:10:00
  car racing games and things like that. I'm looking forward to sort of playing
• 1:10:03
  games against him where it's an actual challenge and I'm like trying to beat him.
• 1:10:08
  But that's the day where I realized I can't beat him anymore. That's
• 1:10:11
  a day you've aised your lights over. I think it's like the day you
• 1:10:14
  realize that your son can beat you up. When it's just like oh Man
• 1:10:17
  getting the grave. Andrew J. P says two part question, what's your
• 1:10:23
  favorite Rusty tie in product? The pregnancy test? I thought that was two
• 1:10:30
  pac question, like what about two packs? Um, I think I'm just
• 1:10:34
  passed with a Rusty Burger. I love that he's got his own franchise.
• 1:10:39
  Yeah, yeah, I think that. Yeah, Grusty Burger, I'm all
• 1:10:42
  for it. An actual fast food rush chains pretty cool. Yeah. And
• 1:10:45
  favorite TV shows slash movies slash celebrity tie in product. He likes licensed video
• 1:10:49
  games of movies. A lot of them awful, but there's also a few
• 1:10:51
  good ones. Well. It sort of times this times into this episode in
• 1:10:57
  some way because I think I've told this story in the past. But when
• 1:11:00
  I was about fourteen years old at school, forgotten my lunch and Mum rocked
• 1:11:04
  up with my with a very lovingly prepared lunch. You know, I've got
• 1:11:08
  a nice sandwich in there, bottle of something or a can or something.
• 1:11:12
  But it was in my old six million dollar Man lunch buns and Mum actually
• 1:11:18
  you know, found the classroom that I was in. Go you forgot your
• 1:11:21
  lunch. It's in your lunch box. Six million Dollar Man had been off
• 1:11:26
  the air for quite some time. You know, he didn't even write his
• 1:11:30
  own episodes, honestly, God, it was very much just the class turned
• 1:11:36
  in Unison just pointing at me. Oh man, I know. It was
• 1:11:42
  one of those kind of things where it's like, mom, lunch boxes are
• 1:11:45
  very cool. Though. I think when you're a kid like Elliott's age,
• 1:11:47
  maybe the way like your fashion statement is your school bag, Like what brands
• 1:11:53
  school bag have you got? It's got his light in McQueen one and he's
• 1:11:56
  got his Tressy park one. It's like I've got the fucking course, I've
• 1:11:59
  got the who's got the cool bag? It's me? It's me. You
• 1:12:00
  don't you don't have to tell me. I know, I know it's very
• 1:12:04
  important for Elliott to what is on his drink bottle. The drink bottle is
• 1:12:09
  a big deal for Alliot at the moment, Like what is his poor patrol
• 1:12:13
  drink bottle? Is it the drassy park because the water tastes different from each
• 1:12:15
  bottle, you know, like at bedtime it's going to be this one because
• 1:12:17
  you can't be drinking water out of the dressy part room bottle at night time.
• 1:12:19
  It just doesn't fly. It's got to be at the port patrol drink
• 1:12:21
  bottle, different times a day, different tastes of water. All right,
• 1:12:27
  a couple more, Jake McFarlane, did you have a favorite activity you enjoyed
• 1:12:31
  doing with your mum growing up or even today? When I was a kid,
• 1:12:36
  I just enjoyed going to the movies with my mum. It was just
• 1:12:39
  sort of, you know, my sister will stay home with my dad,
• 1:12:41
  would go see a movie. I specifically remember my mum taking me to see
• 1:12:44
  Space Jam and yeah, it's just memory. It's always just yeah, it's
• 1:12:46
  just the most random, obscure memories to stick with you for some reason.
• 1:12:49
  And mum taking me to see Space Jam and getting my Space Jam cup.
• 1:12:53
  Speaking of tie in proces, I've always been a sucker for the tie in
• 1:12:56
  movie related cups at the cinema. Yeah, I've still got my space because
• 1:13:00
  the space sham one had had obviously the characters and she's on the actual cut,
• 1:13:03
  but it had a dome on top with a piece of cardboard in the
• 1:13:05
  middle with a little tabs on each side that you can flick a little basketball
• 1:13:10
  through to each side. So it was like, my god, mini basketball
• 1:13:13
  game. Yeah, it was. It was really cool. Um. Yeah,
• 1:13:15
  going to see the movies that my mum was always fun. What about
• 1:13:17
  you. I have a similar movie related memory with my mum, And I
• 1:13:20
  was talking about this with her the other day because we saw like a Pink
• 1:13:25
  Panther double feature. You know, it's just her and I and I just
• 1:13:29
  remember that my and my mom is not a unhumorous person. She know,
• 1:13:34
  she liked a good laugh, but I don't think I've ever seen slash heard
• 1:13:38
  her laugh quite as much as during these Pink Panther movies where you know,
• 1:13:42
  Peter Sells just you know, falling over and making absolute goose of himself.
• 1:13:45
  She was probably on the verge of pissing herself because she was just enjoying it
• 1:13:49
  that much. And it's just a very, very fond memory for me.
• 1:13:53
  For me similar to like that was. I was like raised on the Muppet
• 1:13:58
  Show, right. I loved the Muppet Show on one and my nan used
• 1:14:00
  always tape it for me. And she's to work at this place called Grosby
• 1:14:03
  Footwear. Do you remember Grosby's in Geelong? Yeah, they're great mate.
• 1:14:08
  Yeah, Yeah, she used to work there, Bubby Dog, they're a
• 1:14:11
  great mate. Yeah. And yes, before she used to go to work
• 1:14:15
  at six o'clock in the morning, she'd push record on Channel ten and tape
• 1:14:16
  the Muppet reruns used to air in the early nineties for me when I was
• 1:14:19
  a kid, I said, always watch Themupets at NaN's place. And there
• 1:14:21
  was one segment and because my name's my family really not me, in particularly
• 1:14:26
  my whole family, they love country western music, country music, right,
• 1:14:29
  And the guest star was Lauretta Lynn at the time, and she was singing
• 1:14:31
  a song called Ones on the Way and had the Muppet babies like these little
• 1:14:34
  baby, ugly little baby looking things on the Muppets and they're singing the song
• 1:14:39
  with her. Asked me, every time my name watched that, she just
• 1:14:42
  burst out laughing. I've never seen my name laugh as much as what she
• 1:14:44
  did when she used to watch that segment. I know what it was about
• 1:14:45
  that segment, but she just loved it. So whenever now I hear I
• 1:14:48
  watched that segment, I remember when Nan passed away back in twenty twenty,
• 1:14:53
  the Muppet Show wasn't it went on to Disney Plus long after that, and
• 1:14:57
  I put that segment on and it just made me smile. I'm just like,
• 1:14:59
  this remind Nan being happy, you know. So that's that's nice that
• 1:15:02
  he sort of had memories like that. But it's good. But final question
• 1:15:05
  here is from Ryan King, and he says this is more of an anecdote
• 1:15:10
  to than a question. Okay, so it's n He says he's twenty five
• 1:15:13
  and he still lives at home with his parents. He and his mum always
• 1:15:15
  have their regular movie nights together. They started with him introducing her to the
• 1:15:18
  horror genre, then watching all the great cinema classics. They're currently working their
• 1:15:24
  way through the Last of Us series because they played the game together. Do
• 1:15:27
  you have any activities that you do with you Okay, so it's the same
• 1:15:30
  kind of thing, but do you have any activities that you do now with
• 1:15:30
  your mother? Doc? Do you do you still do anything with your mum.
• 1:15:36
  My activity. My activity is mom, can you babysit the kids?
• 1:15:41
  Mine is I go over and I'd tolerate mums, sort of recounting sky News
• 1:15:46
  talking point not sky News. Yeah, he's got a bit radicalized old Margaret
• 1:15:51
  Mary, and you're not Wogaya. Who's that fact dude that resembles the dude
• 1:15:57
  from the Simpsons, the one it was just far right. He's he's at
• 1:16:00
  night News. He's like the post you're talking about. Oh is it Paul
• 1:16:04
  Murray? It's Paul Murray, that dickhead. I remember I met him ages
• 1:16:10
  ago when I was writing about TV there was a Foxtel sort of junket and
• 1:16:14
  met him and interviewed him, and he seemed he seemed like a really nice
• 1:16:16
  guy, which is a shame. I think a lot of them just they
• 1:16:19
  know what gets makes them money and they just play it up. I think.
• 1:16:23
  So, I really think that is the case, and that's that's a
• 1:16:26
  little bit there, that you've got to be sort of that kind of cynical
• 1:16:29
  and you know, maybe you sort of believe what you're talking about, but
• 1:16:32
  you don't. You have to amplify it by you know, you're gonna push
• 1:16:35
  it up to eleven just to cut through. By the way, it was
• 1:16:39
  Birch Barlows, the guy from The Simpsons to take off of Rush Limbo.
• 1:16:42
  Ah. Yeah, yeah, all right, that is Marge's son poisoning.
• 1:16:45
