  Listen up Stonehedge. I made a drawing of the platos on March. You
• 0:04
  can't touch, especially the hair. Oh you needn't worry. I'm a bit
• 0:08
  of an elbow man myself actually a bit different, a bit weird, not
• 0:13
  sexual. You take forever to say nothing. Fourth Finger Discount, dude,
• 0:34
  welcome to fourth Finger Discount of the podcast that is also certainly worth only five
• 0:38
  dollars. This week we hit the review episode h A B F zero eight.
• 0:42
  It is Homo Simpson. This is your wife, I add I am
• 0:46
  guy. Yes, the person who was always asking what's with the kimono?
• 0:50
  Also, what's with this episode? This episode was not fun. It was
• 0:54
  like I had moments where I enjoyed it. But when I read that Ricky
• 0:58
  Gervais wrote, by the way I'm going to save rickidja bais right. I
• 1:00
  believe that's how his last names. I'm apologize when I'm wrong. But I
• 1:04
  heard that he wrote the episode, I was like, Oh, was it
• 1:07
  gonna be different. It's gonna feel fresh, She's gonna feel you know,
• 1:10
  different to the other episodes of season seventeen. But then you read on that
• 1:14
  whilst he is credited, you know he come up with the concept of the
• 1:15
  idea for the show. The Simpsons writers all came in and did their usual
• 1:19
  things, so even he says, he goes, I got the writing credit,
• 1:23
  but it was a team effort. I came up with some stories.
• 1:25
  I did my stuff basically, And when I first watched this, so this
• 1:30
  is two thousand and six, I would have been wow, eighteens when I
• 1:33
  came out eighteen Is that right? It sounds a matter about that, um
• 1:36
  not what we wouldn't have been eighteen. I was born eighty eight. So
• 1:38
  is that write two thousand and six eighteen? Let's do the maths two thousand
• 1:42
  and six? Yeah? Was yet? Yes, yes, that's right.
• 1:44
  I still hadn't watched the Office, the UK version yet. I don't think
• 1:47
  the U maybe the US one may have just started by this point. But
• 1:49
  I didn't really know much about Rickey Jervas. I hadn't watched much of his
• 1:53
  stuff, remember watching this, going who the hell is this guy? Because
• 1:57
  I don't think it was really marketed heavily as string Ricky Gervais much, or
• 2:00
  maybe I just missed the promos. I just don't know whether he works in
• 2:06
  the Simpsons world, like even when he was trying to do his stick.
• 2:08
  They tried to like simpsonize it in moments like when he's trying to tell the
• 2:13
  joke to Marge March, like interrupting him and stuff. And I was like,
• 2:16
  this is just not working. It's just the two things aren't going well
• 2:19
  together. Yes, sometimes you've got a situation where it's like you got chocolate
• 2:23
  and my peanut butter. You got peanut butter and my chocolate too, great
• 2:27
  taste that tastes great together. This was like peanut butter and shoe polish.
• 2:30
  This was they don't both are effective and in their own separate realms. I
• 2:37
  mean, you know, when it comes to getting your shoes looking nice and
• 2:39
  shiny shoe polish, it's great when you want to tastey spread for you for
• 2:43
  your sandwich. Peanut butter awesome. But yeah, Ricky Jerveys has got a
• 2:47
  very definite style, certainly around this time. Because I mean, I mean,
• 2:53
  you said you didn't recall if they were pushing the whole kind of starring
• 2:55
  Ricky Gervais thing. I would be surprised if they didn't, because this is
• 3:00
  post the UK version of the offers. This really is upon reflection looking back
• 3:06
  now, it's just the Ricky Gervais show. This one, this episode,
• 3:07
  isn't it It really isn't really just a showcase for Ricky Java's as well his
• 3:13
  particular comic style, because this came out post the UK offers and around the
• 3:17
  time that he I think he started his next show, Extras, which was
• 3:22
  also very very popular, because Ricky was incredibly hot off the office. I
• 3:29
  mean, you know it there was enough of a sensation both in the UK
• 3:32
  and abroad that you know, the US brought the bought the rights to it
• 3:36
  and made their own version, which of course we all know about a few
• 3:39
  times in that era. Think we had Shameless was one we had, They
• 3:44
  tried the in between US at point, they tried so many they tried a
• 3:46
  version Space Skins was one, I think, yeah, yeah, and the
• 3:52
  IT crowd Yeah, I think with the communities, John McHale and the lead.
• 3:55
  Then can you American viewers just not enjoy the UK version? Why do
• 4:00
  you have to try and make it yours? Just fucking watch it and enjoy
• 4:02
  it? Well, I mean they often say, you know that the US
• 4:06
  and the UK senses of humor are you know, incredibly different. And if
• 4:13
  if you're I think the world we live in now though, it's completely different
• 4:16
  because when when things fine to watching things like in the UK they sort of
• 4:19
  watch BBC made programs. Now, with such access worldwide, we can pick
• 4:25
  and choose whatever wherever it's made. I think that we have like a global
• 4:29
  sense of humor almost at the point now which is good and bad. I'm
• 4:33
  leaning more towards bad, all long nasty the Australian sort of like that's why
• 4:39
  things like Blue and that are doing so well, because they sort of maintain
• 4:41
  that auzzy humor. You know, well that's something I mean. I'm doing
• 4:45
  some writing with some people at the moment, and one thing we talked about
• 4:47
  was um a universal voice with an Australian accent. You know, we wanted
• 4:53
  to gre out something that would play worldwide, but that would be distinctive enough
• 4:59
  in its and unique enough in its Australian This that Oh, that's that's new
• 5:04
  nice unusually four figured discount exactly. Yeah, I mean, god, there
• 5:10
  are probably heaps of Americans talking about the Simpsons, but are they doing it
• 5:13
  like this? Mate? And so many people took this podcast and just put
• 5:16
  a clock in it. You know, Hey, that's your stealer made bet.
• 5:24
  Yeah, but but sorry. Going back to Ricky Gervaise, Yeah,
• 5:26
  he was incredibly hot off the off the UK office. It started a new
• 5:29
  show extras. You know, any every celebrity and their dog wanted to be
• 5:32
  part of that, and it it makes sense that the Simpsons would either reach
• 5:39
  out to him or that he felt he had enough cloud to say, Hey,
• 5:42
  Simpsons, HQ, Ricky, hang on, Rickie dese here, you
• 5:46
  know me from the office, you know you know that fat right? Sorry
• 5:50
  listeners, listeners, let me know. Was was that a terrible Ricky Gervaise
• 5:55
  on? It was? It was enough. Soca was a huge mac Grady
• 6:00
  was a huge fan, and him and Algie and met Rickie for dinner and
• 6:01
  told him that they wanted him to write an episode. Basically they were huge
• 6:04
  fans of his and they approached him. Okay, then that makes sense.
• 6:10
  Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure they would center the publicity around hot
• 6:15
  new comic voice and sensation Ricky Gervais now on your favorite animated sitcom, The
• 6:20
  Simpsons, and there you go. But yeah, they're totally very, very
• 6:26
  different. I mean, you can tell that Ricky is not really trying to
• 6:30
  as much as he's a fan of the Simpsons, and he really cops to
• 6:32
  that. He didn't really try to sort of weave his way into the Simpsons
• 6:38
  makeup of it all. He just did his thing, the Simpsons guys are
• 6:41
  there thing, And I was the hope that well, you guys like comedy,
• 6:45
  right, here's a whole bunch of it. It's like, well,
• 6:47
  yeah, this is a jigsaw that's all made up of pieces that don't fit.
• 6:51
  Yeah, and I don't know, the whole is set up for the
• 6:56
  whole HDTV thing, right, the wife swapping that kind of thing, watching
• 7:00
  this going this would have been a better storyline for the episode in which they
• 7:02
  turned into HD. So oh yeah you have you know the final episode that's
• 7:08
  non HD, it ends with them becoming HD when the home when it seems
• 7:11
  to get an HDTV. I thought that would have been a good sort of
• 7:13
  story, like a meta joke that makes that's a that's a really great idea.
• 7:16
  That's a fantastic idea because Shane, they didn't do yeah, because when
• 7:20
  you turned on the when they went HD, you just turned on it was
• 7:23
  like, oh, it's it's just in white screen now. But I think
• 7:25
  if you made it an event where it's like, this is the flast time
• 7:28
  we're going to see him in four three, and then they it's four four
• 7:30
  three or the sixty nine four three is the fourth is a small one,
• 7:33
  the's sixty nine to white screen? Yes, yes, yeah, and then
• 7:36
  sort of at the end of it sort of goes and what and goes white
• 7:41
  like that. I think that would have been really really cool. Absolutely,
• 7:43
  yeah, that's a shame they didn't do that. They did a similar thing
• 7:45
  at the start of the Simpsons movie, whether you're watching hitch in Scratchy cartoon
• 7:48
  and then it expands out wide. But um, yeah, anyway, but
• 7:51
  I just think there wasn't like Lenny's party. And apparently Ricky one of his
• 7:57
  favorite characters was Lenny, which is why he did this. But again,
• 8:00
  like why would Lenny have all these people everybody's house? Why is missus k
• 8:03
  there? Why is fucking sideshow Maladies party? Why is Gil there? Yeah,
• 8:07
  there's all these It's like the Simpsons. Now everyone just knows everybody.
• 8:11
  It's just it's lost. It's lost that charm of different parts of the community
• 8:16
  where they sort of they would meet out a town hall. But now it's
• 8:18
  just like everyone knows, everyone knows, everyone hears like it's lost. It's
• 8:22
  lost that realism. Now, this honestly felt like the kind of episode made
• 8:26
  by someone who's a fan of the show. It's like, Ah, I
• 8:30
  get to hang out with all my cool buddies. Yeah, it's like,
• 8:33
  yeah, but all your cool buddies don't necessarily hang out together, you know.
• 8:37
  I mean, it's great that you're a fan, but at the same
• 8:39
  time, you should be enough of a fan to realize that certain parts work
• 8:45
  together in certain parts don't. And they're still persisting with Sideshow mel and Cleaders.
• 8:50
  They can't go an episode without having a fucking Cleaners joke. My second
• 8:54
  line in my notes was, well, my first line was oh hackey marriage
• 8:58
  joke right out of the game, and then second and then Cleitus. There
• 9:03
  ain't after all, good start, and I've never seen something so highly divine.
• 9:07
  And I was like, oh my god, I mean, that's not
• 9:09
  even a bad line. In the terms of VS were kind of a but
• 9:16
  it was like wow, yeah, yeah. And I don't know whether we'll
• 9:20
  ever get a point where TVs will have that sort of response anymore. I
• 9:26
  just can't imagine TV's being clearer than what they are now. I know we
• 9:28
  would have said that twenty years ago, but prove me wrong. People,
• 9:31
  prove me wrong unless you come up with like, you know, the little
• 9:33
  magic Genie lamp TV that sits on the on your floor or is built into
• 9:39
  your floor and it you switch it on and it comes up and it's like
• 9:45
  three D. It's like it's like a stage play. But um what it's
• 9:50
  like you're there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like, um,
• 9:52
  you know Minority Report, the movie Report. You know, of course you
• 9:56
  know the movie. But there's a bit in that way we're talking about.
• 10:00
  Yeah, I'm not talking about my neo Nazi newsletter Minority Report, but yeah,
• 10:07
  there's a bit where cruisers looking at home movies and he's like in the
• 10:11
  movie inside the other movie. Yea, yeah, So I'm that would be
• 10:15
  the next step if it ever happens, and of course it probably will happen.
• 10:18
  It will eventually. Yeah. I don't think in our lifetime though,
• 10:20
  but I want it now. I just thought them the writing was just inconsistent
• 10:26
  in the sense that the story was that. So the story is that Marge
• 10:30
  doesn't like this guy, makes which makes perfect sense. Obviously, she's just
• 10:31
  met the guy, but she keeps saying, Homie would do anything to save
• 10:35
  our marriage and he loves us and blah blah blah. Episode starts off with
• 10:39
  Homework making a anti marriage gag, which wasn't even done the sense of the
• 10:43
  whole. Hey just ribbing him, lady. It was like no, no,
• 10:46
  he said it, and then he had to backtrack. He realize what
• 10:48
  he has said, and at the end of the episode is them is him
• 10:52
  serenading the TV, and Marge's like, yeah, whatever, and she closes
• 10:54
  her eyes and goes to sleep. I'm like, what he goes against the
• 10:58
  whole point of Marge's speech that he just did a minute ago, the whole
• 11:01
  point of the Simpsons in general, because I mean, the heart of the
• 11:05
  well, one of the hearts of the Simpsons is the fact that Homer and
• 11:09
  Marge love each other. Yeah, so I thought they were going to count
• 11:13
  it, like the gag was that you were supposed to think you were serenading
• 11:16
  Marge, because I thought the balance would the normal thing would be, Okay,
• 11:18
  these guys are in an unhappy marriage, but no margin, Homer,
• 11:22
  They're the constant. They're always going to love it through thick and thin.
• 11:24
  They'll love each other. Nope, he's serenading a television and Marge is just
• 11:28
  like, whatever, I'm going to sleep, Yeah, whatever, which pretty
• 11:31
  much sums up this episode in a nutshell. Yeah, it wasn't. It
• 11:33
  wasn't a great one. It really really wasn't my favorite. But did you
• 11:37
  have any favorite moments? That's the question. I have one line, I
• 11:43
  have one line. I have exactly two lines. Can I say wine?
• 11:46
  Just in case you've got it as well? Go ahead? So it was
• 11:50
  Ricky Gervais making talking at the start, Homer goes utiake forever to say nothing.
• 11:54
  That was one of my that subs Ricky gerbass up perfectly, it really
• 12:00
  does. I liked that and I like, listen up Stonehenge. Oh yes,
• 12:03
  yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. That's all I like.
• 12:07
  I mean, I liked his joke. I didn't like the way Marche kept
• 12:09
  interrupting it and ruining the flow of the joke. But the joke herself was
• 12:11
  like so obvious what he's going to say, but still funny. Yeah,
• 12:16
  that would that would kill in it for one of a better term, that
• 12:20
  would kill in another context. Yeah, on the office if he told that
• 12:22
  and then the people just sat there awkwardly, like looking around and him trying
• 12:26
  to backtrack out of it. That would have been funnier. But how do
• 12:28
  you Marge just sort of go, oh, this is so great. I
• 12:30
  love what you're saying so far. Oh, this is so funny, and
• 12:31
  I'm like, shut yep, you're fucking with the flow. Yeah, because
• 12:37
  I mean, Ricky Gervais's whole persona is essentially he's socially awkward and he desperately
• 12:43
  wants to be liked. Yes, he thinks the Yeah, he thinks he's
• 12:46
  the class clown or you know, the court jaister who can just like I'm
• 12:50
  the life of the part, you know, go make everyone He's not cockney.
• 12:54
  I don't know why I did that accent, but I just like to
• 12:58
  an accent. Um. Yeah, and that joke on another one of his
• 13:05
  shows, like on extras or likes David Brent on The Office, they'd be
• 13:07
  like, yea, works nailed it. Fantastic in this context, and particularly
• 13:13
  with the way, as you said, Marge kept charming, and it's like,
• 13:16
  well, this is making an awkward situation even more awkward and less funny.
• 13:20
  At the same time. It's no, no, you got it all
• 13:26
  wrong. Not great yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean,
• 13:31
  I'm very much. I'm kind of torn on Ricky Gervay's in general.
• 13:35
  I got to say, I mean, I think he's a the stuff he
• 13:41
  did with the office and to less decent with the extras, I think is
• 13:43
  really quite brilliant. I mean, I think he's kind of fearless in terms
• 13:46
  of making himself the butt of the joke, and when he goes in,
• 13:48
  he goes all in on it. And that's that's very admirable, very impressive,
• 13:52
  and very very funny a lot of the time. But I think there
• 13:56
  are other situations where he is legit intimately trying too hard. He's almost like
• 14:01
  David Brent for real, or he's like you gotta love me, come on,
• 14:05
  come on, love me. You know, I got sick of the
• 14:09
  stick of Oh I can't. What's he gonna say at the Golden Globes this
• 14:13
  time? I'm like, yeah, I mean, it was funny the first
• 14:16
  time, but now you just want to be expecting it. It's lost,
• 14:18
  the lost, it's lost. The teeth. The teeth had been sort of
• 14:22
  he's been defanged as a result. It's almost like going you're going to a
• 14:24
  roast now when the first time everyone's like, I can't believe he said that,
• 14:28
  and then the next time it's like, Okay, what's he gonna say
• 14:30
  this time? Oh yeah, you got them. It's like I'm pretty sure
• 14:33
  he's going to be sort of glad handing backstage, like all good fun in
• 14:37
  it. Yeah, So there's a there was. There was a great um
• 14:41
  moment though I sort of meme recently with him on It must have been because
• 14:45
  you know, I've been saying his name at home, and it's my algorithms
• 14:48
  like, hey, you like this guy as all these Ricky Davey's memes get
• 14:50
  popped up. But it was like he was on um Who's the host with
• 14:56
  the Black Glasses, um us host talk shout host Colbert Cobet on the Cobee
• 15:01
  Report whatever, Yeah, and it was like he's talking about how he's not
• 15:05
  religious, and Cobear is like, then what do you have faith in if
• 15:09
  you don't have faith in God? And he's like dogs. I'm like,
• 15:13
  yeah, amen, brother, dogs. I can see dogs, I can
• 15:18
  touch dogs. They love me back, like I have faith in faith in
• 15:20
  dogs. He's a big animal guy, I mean, apparently a shit,
• 15:22
  a ton of money and he's going to leave all his all his money to
• 15:26
  animal charities. I mean, full credit to him. He is living his
• 15:28
  best life and he hasn't changed for anybody. That's the thing. Yeah,
• 15:33
  I mean to his credit, he does walk it like he talks yeah,
• 15:37
  yeah, which which is great. But I mean there are also occasions when
• 15:41
  he's been sort of called out for I mean, his stand up. Apparently
• 15:45
  he's very kind of tell it like it is. And sometimes that's good and
• 15:50
  sometimes that's a bit. It can be a big bunch of old mate that
• 15:54
  we're listening to when we're walking into Super and Over that day. Oh that
• 15:58
  guy. I'm just like, if you listen for some context. We'll go
• 16:03
  to Super over to catch up with our man Jim Cummings, and we're walking
• 16:06
  in and it's just like I want to say, security guard or just a
• 16:08
  random guy wearing a high views vesting it he was actually doing anything. He's
• 16:15
  just like standing there talking to himself, just going you know what, yeah,
• 16:18
  and just you know what. I tell it how it is, mate,
• 16:19
  Yeah, and no one someone tells me what to do. I don't
• 16:22
  change for anyone. I'm talent how it is. And we're just like what
• 16:26
  is happening right now. He's guys having a conversation with himself. Did he
• 16:30
  have the phone, Well, it wasn't speaking directly into the phone down and
• 16:34
  using it like a walkie talking. Maybe he did, I don't know.
• 16:37
  But whoever, I'm never more fun of. He was just talking to himself,
• 16:41
  just announcing his philosophy to the world. I'll tell her like it is.
• 16:45
  I tell it like it is. It's like, I'm not racist,
• 16:47
  mate, I don't judge anyone. I tell it like it is. I'm
• 16:49
  you know, basically I'm racist to everybody. But essentially around this time,
• 16:55
  around two thousand and six and then Ricky Javis will So he was doing it
• 17:00
  a series of televised interviews with like his comedy heroes. He did one with
• 17:04
  Larry David from cur The Enthusiasm, but most notoriously did one with the late
• 17:10
  great Gary Shandler. Wow, Okay, and Shandling was not a fan,
• 17:15
  I mean didn't get the ship. I think they just had different world views.
• 17:19
  And I mean I think Ricky jas was like a real mega fan of
• 17:23
  Gary Shandling, and Gary Shandling's just like I'm not sure about this guy or
• 17:26
  and Shandley was also just like a third Dann black belt judo master in passive
• 17:33
  aggression and just kind of sunk the knife into him ever so gently. And
• 17:40
  I mean it's on YouTube, And how did Ricky handle that? I think
• 17:44
  he was kind of like, oh, we're all we're all mates here and
• 17:45
  all this kind of stuff. But he was meant to do five of these
• 17:49
  Ricky Gervais meats shows. He did three, and then according to a source,
• 17:56
  it's like Shandling just killed him. He's not doing anymore after this.
• 18:00
  Really, Yeah, so I mean, I'm pretty sure you can find it
• 18:03
  on YouTube. Yeah, I do find that kind of interesting because I think,
• 18:07
  you know, I think he's very good at what he does, but
• 18:10
  I think he also has a few sort of blind spots and weak spots.
• 18:14
  So anyway, as well, and I'm gonna say this episode is kind of
• 18:17
  one of them. I guess they were trying to sort of bring his office
• 18:18
  character to the Simpsons well, but yeah, it just didn't work. Next
• 18:22
  question, you there eating the Beast. It is trivia time, which means
• 18:26
  it is also time that we read out the names of our incredible supporters on
• 18:30

  the shout out to mister Davis this time. Now for sum trivia. Hit
• 20:22
  me with your first question. Okay, then what kind of sports center is
• 20:26
  near Lenny's building? I had no idea. What is it? Springfield Higher
• 20:30
  Lie? Oh? Okay, then I had no idea what that one was?
• 20:33
  All right? My first question is Fox is ranked? What it says
• 20:37
  on the side of the building where they're driving into the lot. It's the
• 20:41
  It's the number two network with prisons between eighteen and forty nine. Right,
• 20:45
  correct, Well done. Back to Lenny, how many months did he date
• 20:51
  the woman in the woody woodpecket costume? Six months? Three months? Half
• 20:56
  that I'm there, three or six. I'm gonna take six. I got
• 21:00
  it wrong. Don't don't come with me to a casino. My next question
• 21:04
  is who do they say? Whose face did I say, put over the
• 21:07
  top of the Homer's ass? There aren't enough pixels in the world when he
• 21:11
  when he's moving the camera, I said, don't just slap someone's face over
• 21:15
  it. Oh um, Oh it was a Ryan Seacrest Ryan Seacrest, the
• 21:19
  name who you don't hear very often anymore. I mean, you know,
• 21:22
  he's still he was all over the news. I probably still is American.
• 21:23
  Ide was still going. He's probably still believe so don't we're still doing those
• 21:27
  shows. But he was, um, he was, Yeah, one of
• 21:33
  those guys. I always just seemed like an absolute prick, even though I've
• 21:36
  never met him. He was always betrayed as a preaky, sort of held
• 21:38
  himself like he was just an arrogant guy. But I'm assuming that's just the
• 21:41
  stick he was playing, kind of like Simon cow He's just he's going to
• 21:45
  play that character like there's no way he is that kind of person in real
• 21:48
  life. Yeah, well, yeah, that's true. I mean I'm not
• 21:52
  sure in all, Yeah, but he's sort of had that very smug,
• 21:56
  smimy thing going on, didn't he kind of like remember the guy used to
• 22:00
  host is now a politician in New South Wales at James Matheson for an Australian
• 22:03
  idol Channel V. I don't forget the day I met that guy and he
• 22:07
  was rude to me, just ruined me. I loved Channel V growing up.
• 22:11
  Andrew g who is now Gunsberg. But oh, absolute champion. I've
• 22:15
  met him a few times. Lovely, lovely person. Right, and he's
• 22:18
  to co host Channel V with this James Matheson, And man, James was
• 22:22
  just so rude to this little like ten year old Dando. Didn't have any
• 22:26
  time for me. Just break my spirits ten year old Dan. I mean,
• 22:30
  I can understand being rude to like eighteen year old Dan. Yeah,
• 22:32
  yeah, you're probably a duche. But they're doing like some live broadcast down
• 22:36
  here from the beach and like live on Channel V. Remember he was there
• 22:38
  and I was like, oh, James, can I please have your autograph?
• 22:41
  He just looked at me and goes, I don't do that, and
• 22:44
  it welled off and I was like, I wasn't I want to go home?
• 22:48
  Mom't God channels seem more like and you know what the C stands for.
• 22:53
  Yeah, he was just like, I don't do that. No.
• 22:56
  I was so sad. I'm really sorry, man, that's terrible. Voting
• 23:03
  for James Matheson go hell no, we are not indeed all right, what's
• 23:04
  your next question? We'll do one more each. What is the name of
• 23:08
  the cameraman who smoked a joint in Bart's room. I want to say it's
• 23:12
  Dug the Doug. You would be correct and saying yeah. My final question
• 23:17
  is who was c Simami? No? Who was led him in talking to
• 23:22
  Alias? I always going to kick out of Home's stories where you just can't
• 23:25
  decide what's real and what's not. Now here's the thing. This is a
• 23:29
  neat little time that I when I was doing some half hour's research. I've
• 23:33
  forgotten exactly when he was on it, but Ricky Javas had a guest role
• 23:37
  on Alias. He did Okay, Then who did he play? He played
• 23:41
  like a bomb maker for the IRA. Okay, he plays a good bad
• 23:48
  guy. Look it looks like a villain. Yeah yeah, because he was
• 23:53
  most known for his comedy the Stage. And yeah yeah. And I was
• 23:56
  watching Alias because I really dug it. Atlis was the top show I've never
• 23:59
  watched. Yes I should because was that. Want to borrow the box set?
• 24:02
  I got the box set here. Man, I think they're all on
• 24:03
  Disney Plus, but I would have taken that for sure. Yes, do
• 24:07
  you want to borrow? Do you want to borrow my discs? You want
• 24:11
  to get up every three episodes to put it a new one in? Oh?
• 24:18
  God like a savage like a caveman. But no, he's but he
• 24:23
  yea. I did this guest spot on Alias playing this playing this IRA guy,
• 24:27
  and I was like, holy shit, Riggs really bringing it here.
• 24:32
  This is good staff. He plays them the second villain on the Muppet movie
• 24:36
  Muppets Most Wanted My Kids. I love it, love it. Yeah,
• 24:38
  he plays a good he's called Dominic bad guy that and he plays a lot
• 24:42
  of good a lot of good actors in that one. Isn't really offering that
• 24:45
  one as well? Yeah? Yeah, they and apparently was like they were
• 24:48
  going to make a third Muppets movie, but because I didn't do too well,
• 24:51
  they counts the third one. But I highly recommend Muppets Mayhem, very
• 24:55
  very good. The fourth Figure Discount Network is brought to you by our incredible

  you find your podcasts. The original airdate of Homo Simpson, This Is Your
• 25:57
  Wife was March when we see two thousand and six, written by Ricky Gervais
• 26:02
  and the Simpson stuff obviously and directed by Matthew and as stuck. There was
• 26:06
  a Choppo. It was actually a full intro. That's actually something we should
• 26:07
  have touched on. So when this originally aired in the BBC. On the
• 26:11
  BBC in the UK, they had this live action reimagination of the Simpsons intro
• 26:17
  and I remember watching it. It didn't look that good. It was kind
• 26:19
  of random and weird, but they apparently used that intro for this episode.
• 26:23
  It was like a tie in. So now the ratings for this episode but
• 26:26
  like double what they normally would get. There was like two points something million.
• 26:29
  Normally only got a million, so it was a big deal having Ricky
• 26:32
  Gervais on The Simpsons in the UK. Anyway, Um, did did that
• 26:34
  intro star Keith Nettem? Yeah? I want? I wanted? Did the
• 26:40
  choppol gag I will not eat things for money? And the couch gag was
• 26:44
  the live action one, as I was saying, but um, yeah,
• 26:45
  it's when you watch on Disney may do something with the with the board gag
• 26:51
  as well. It wasn't the one like I will not laminate dog Deal or
• 26:55
  something. I think the most similar to Marge versus of the Monorail original airing
• 26:59
  taken from the Sky one promo I will not Laminate dog Do in the rerun
• 27:03
  airing. Oh I don't know it was, yeah, because they they've changed
• 27:07
  it for Disney Plus and the reruns because the one on Disney Plus now has
• 27:11
  them the spit whether it's like the four moves most in Coals, Yeah,
• 27:15
  yeah, well no, that's the that's the that's the cat, that's a
• 27:18
  that's a cash ga for This is the original in this in the um.
• 27:22
  In the original air it was a live action one. They all run and
• 27:25
  sit on the cat the board gag. Yeah, the boar the board gag
• 27:27
  was in this one. Here. I believe I will not laminate dog Do,
• 27:32
  but the original one said, oh will not eat things for money.
• 27:34
  Right there we go. Yeah, confusing, confusing. Anyway, we got
• 27:37
  so much going on in this episode, not much of it funny. But
• 27:41
  the episode kicks off with Homer and Marge driving to Lenny's party, discussing what
• 27:47
  the announcement may be, the potential for it, and Hammer makes a anti
• 27:51
  marriage joking why would he want to do that announce and he's getting married,
• 27:53
  and as we said earlier, it just goes against the whole point of the
• 27:57
  story anyway. But then we get clear us and branding. They've been left
• 28:02
  out because they're afraid of using the uppity box and I've just got here.
• 28:04
  Was that needed? But anyway, we arrive at the party now and carl
• 28:08
  Um is dancing, then realizes that he has to work tomorrow, so he's
• 28:11
  going home. I'm like, He's having this on a weekday. What what's
• 28:15
  got so all these people don't work tomorrow? What? What? What is
• 28:18
  happening? I mean, I'm a sucker for anything that's you know, ain't
• 28:23
  no party like a so and so party, because a so and so party
• 28:26
  don't stop one of my favorite things to say. But yeah, in this
• 28:30
  situation just sets up more questions than provides answers. Yeah, I was not
• 28:37
  happy about and this is it's just weird. But Homer and March's randomly in
• 28:41
  Lenny's bedroom just looking at various things on his walls. If they see him
• 28:45
  on the fake magazine cover and things like that. Yeah, now you were,
• 28:49
  of course. I mean I know a little about the Simpson. You
• 28:52
  know a lot about the Simpson. When was the episode when he said don't
• 28:56
  tell anyone how I live? That was Reality Bite season nine. Yeah,
• 29:03
  so he's moved up in the world. Lenny's life is very all over the
• 29:07
  shop. It always has been the cot Nuity because he had that house where
• 29:10
  they're playing cards with them, you know when they say, um, you're
• 29:14
  slow, and he goes something said not good and then Lenny's house that day,
• 29:18
  Um, and yeah, I don't I don't know. Lenny sometimes rich,
• 29:22
  sometimes he's got a girlfriend because he's like cleaning someone's toe nails, and
• 29:25
  it's it's it's weird, so that the cotnulity of Lenny's personal life has always
• 29:29
  been up and down, but this one was just weird. I just I
• 29:32
  don't know, just because yeah, I mean, he must have did well
• 29:37
  at a scratchy from the Quickie Marty. He's got all this money apparently n
• 29:41
  large, I just I don't know ask questions anymore. But apparently he was
• 29:45
  dating some girl from who was in the Woody Woodpecker costume, and she left
• 29:48
  him for the guy that cleans the vomit on the on the roller coasters.
• 29:52
  Then we get Mo, who's really annoyed that Lenny's cut his salary at an
• 29:56
  angle another jet doesn't go anywhere. It just gets angry and everyone goes and
• 30:00
  that's it. I mean, it's it's a typical Mo joke in that um
• 30:03
  you're like, hey, you think it better than me. Yeah, but
• 30:07
  when you always get your salary on the angle anyway, But yeah, I've
• 30:11
  just got my notes. Why are the van happens here? But Lenny reveals
• 30:17
  that the big thing is he's got a plasma screen HD TV, and I
• 30:19
  was gonna be a plasma That is dated. We still have HDTVs now,
• 30:23
  but remember when plasma felt like it was the big deal yet a plasma?
• 30:26
  Oh my god. Yeah. Do you remember the first time you saw like
• 30:29
  high definition TV? I remember the first time I saw like a flat screen
• 30:32
  TV. It was just like, Okay, we've hit We've hit the new
• 30:34
  millennium people. I remember seeing it on my buddy Steve's plays. It sounds
• 30:40
  like your buddy Steve is the guy that he's that mate who always has to
• 30:42
  have the first of everything. He's an early adopter. Yeah, I mean
• 30:45
  he was the first I saw the first time. No, I didn't mix
• 30:51
  me. He's married to consumerism. He feels that void with with the new
• 30:56
  technology. Yes, and friends, he's got a rich, full life.
• 31:03
  But yeah, first time I saw HD and blue ray was over at Steves
• 31:07
  joined and no, admit I smoked a little bit of Jazzyrett, But honestly,
• 31:11
  it was like someone had kicked a hole in the wall. It's kind
• 31:12
  of looking at real life. Yeah, that's the thing. It was like,
• 31:15
  as we said earlier, how can TVs? Can it be clear?
• 31:18
  That this. I refused to believe it. Although people talking about, well,
• 31:25
  they're bringing at eight KTVs and I was like, I don't know.
• 31:29
  I don't think I need eight K TVs. I watched these four K blue
• 31:33
  rays and I'm like, yeah, they're fine. Yeah, you're gonna have
• 31:37
  to start giving my eyes an overhaul. Yeah, you're gonna have to do
• 31:41
  I don't think my eyes can handle this many pixels. But then sidehe mel
• 31:47
  I've literally got my notes. Please fuck off. It's great. I just
• 31:53
  I'm really sick of Side. It's become a joke now how often he appears
• 31:57
  just to yell at one line and it never appeared again. No. Homer
• 32:00
  then says he's going to spend the rest of his life on this couch,
• 32:02
  and we get a parody of two thousand and one in space Obyously, we
• 32:06
  already had one of those, and recently I think, well, these face
• 32:09
  Homer is the cause, the most famous one, that's the big one obviously.
• 32:13
  Yeah, but it's it's it's such an iconic kind of thing that even
• 32:15
  if you haven't seen two thousand and one, you kind of know it.
• 32:17
  Maybe it was on like South Park or Futurama or something that I maybe it
• 32:21
  was Futurama, probably on Future Had It. Yeah, yeah it could.
• 32:23
  We obviously do a Future More podcast as well. But he jumps out the
• 32:27
  couch. I've got his skinner and bubble. Have we have I missed something?
• 32:29
  Are they now a thing again? Did I forget that? Or are
• 32:30
  they just sitting next to one another? Because like he has his arm around
• 32:34
  her, it's oh okay when they're like troubbing off the couch, like rubs
• 32:37
  his arm around her. And I don't know, I swear the last time
• 32:40
  we saw them together they were like she was like hating him, you know,
• 32:45
  one of those things that they just forget about and just bring up whatever
• 32:46
  they feel like it. Look at the picture quality, you could see the
• 32:53
  soulist emptiness in that shark's eye. Two and a Half Man. You could
• 33:00
  see the soul its emptiness and Charlie Sheen's eyes a bit of a Charlie Sheen
• 33:05
  gag here he was. He was one of the biggest stars in to work
• 33:07
  at this point, wasn't he With Two and a Half Man? He genuinely
• 33:10
  was. Yeah, it was everywhere when he had that meltdown, that was
• 33:14
  just like everywhere wasn't it? That was so weird? What was it was
• 33:16
  winning winning and Tiger Blood was winning and Tiger Blood. Did he reveal that
• 33:22
  he was HIV positive during that interview as well? I think, so yeah,
• 33:27
  is that something that that's something like everyone's forgotten about. I mean,
• 33:30
  I'm not saying, oh, you should have a scarlet h on his shirt
• 33:34
  all the time, but it's like it's kind of a big deal. Yeah,
• 33:37
  I could be wrong. It seems about right though, But that was
• 33:42
  it was such a such a bitter, messy ending to that show, wasn't
• 33:45
  it. How he like they replaced Dash and Kucher and they squashed him at
• 33:51
  ever you seen the final episode. It is such a circle jerk. I
• 33:54
  never really got into two and a half minute. I'm not a fan of
• 33:58
  the Chuck Laurie school of comedy, just like the big, big theory kind
• 34:00
  of thing. None of that kind of suff although he did do the kause
• 34:05
  Minsky method on on Netflix, which is good for old Fox like me.
• 34:08
  So so yeah, Lou and I really dug that, but you know he
• 34:13
  did. He wrote the theme for Teenagement Ninja Turtles so good. It's multi
• 34:19
  talent to dude, It's just that his talents are not necessarily to my liking.
• 34:22
  But you know, he's making all the moneys. So there you go.
• 34:25
  Um, but the kids come to try and get Homer take him home
• 34:29
  again, but they stay because the HDTV as well at this point not,
• 34:34
  as he said, not everyone had the HDTV. So when someone had one,
• 34:36
  it was like, So, I was like, when one of your
• 34:37
  friends has a pool table, can we go to Steve's house. He's got
• 34:40
  the he's got the TV. It's funny, Steve actually does have a pull
• 34:45
  table. Yeah, it's like, hey, the foot he's on, we
• 34:49
  shouldna watch the Steve's house. Yeah. Yeah, Steve just got to be
• 34:52
  shorthand for now. The guy's got everything. Yeah yeah, exactly. Yeah,
• 34:57
  it's gonna be our new thing out to my man, Steve. Exactly.
• 35:00
  Yeah. It sounds like a great dude. Sounds like my man.
• 35:01
  If I wasn't married, i'd be Steve. I'm still got to m Steve.
• 35:06
  It's just like a woman that puts up with me. But so he's
• 35:09
  Um, the kids are there, they're watching TV. They're watching the Dancing
• 35:13
  Coal Saw instead of the Rainbow outside. Then Lenny starts throwing matches at home
• 35:16
  and to get him to leave, and I was, kids, just let
• 35:20
  me take a photo of the TV. And he's already done it, obviously
• 35:22
  because they showed him in the wall. And that's the end of that chapter.
• 35:28
  But that sort of sets something in motion because now Homer wants an HDTV?
• 35:31
  How can he get one? Another long winded way to get there?
• 35:35
  Though, wasn't It was like five and a half to six minutes of nothing,
• 35:37
  So Homer wants couldn't Homer just what part walked through the shop and seeing
• 35:40
  the HTTV and then he wants one. It certainly was long winded in the
• 35:45
  way that it was like a long drawn out fart. Yeah, which if
• 35:49
  you're doing it you're very proud of, but when you're not doing it,
• 35:51
  you want to immediately. It's it's entertaining and a great relief. This was
• 35:58
  this, This was neither have you ever been proud of a fart? Yes?
• 36:01
  I have as well over a few times I've done. I was like,
• 36:04
  that was that was impressive, Brendan, well done? Oh yeah,
• 36:07
  that that had real kind of gusto and the ones that do it. But
• 36:15
  I feel better for having done it. It's like, holy shit, I
• 36:16
  feel like a kilo lighter. Have you ever farted in public or at a
• 36:23
  party or whatever, done it quietly enough where it's seeped out and then either
• 36:29
  wandered away or just hung around, but you could tell everyone smelt it,
• 36:32
  but you get away with it. Yes, they're the best ones, aren't
• 36:36
  they? You really are not my best fart story. But it's not even
• 36:42
  well because I wasn't the one parting. It's the drop your gut story,
• 36:45
  was it? No? No, I've already told that one. That's that's
• 36:49
  out there in the end public domain. Now. I was at the supermarket
• 36:54
  on Paco on Packington Street for non Geelong people. Um, and yeah,
• 37:01
  I wasn't right behind this dude, but I was close enough, like it
• 37:06
  maybe a trolley's length away from him. Yeah, And he clearly thought there
• 37:09
  was no one else in the ocause he's just cog leg and let one rip.
• 37:13
  And I was like, I was like, what what doppen I keep
• 37:19
  in the brick wall? Just where it? Is it Lenny who's getting chased
• 37:27
  by the osaka flu when the box opens? That's what it was like.
• 37:35
  I'll never forget one of the funniest, funniest things. I was like,
• 37:37
  on Live TV. This kid asked the reporter, can I catch COVID if
• 37:40
  my fan fat in my face? Like fair question, that's legit, Like
• 37:51
  you know, during the COVID era, we'll write about people coughing and that
• 37:53
  kind of thing. People just fart in the right sound up, didn't give
• 37:55
  a shit. Ship party was all over our face. Up, bring your
• 37:58
  mom on. I give a fuck about it, e cal, I just
• 38:02
  worry about this guy OVID thing, stupid non players. My TV pictures so
• 38:09
  blurry. I just will rub dirt in my eyes only. I've been thinking
• 38:14
  we had been using this TV for a long time. So I entered a
• 38:17
  contest with the first prize is a plasma screen TV March. I love you,
• 38:23
  I love you, I love you now. I really hope we won
• 38:30
  that contest. There's a chance we won't win. And it was like that
• 38:34
  though too, when one of your friends with the new TV with your place,
• 38:37
  You're like, oh man, this shit I'm thinking about. You know,
• 38:42
  maybe ten fifteen years ago, one of the like a big on Sunday
• 38:46
  TV. It had a flat screen, but it still had the heavy machinery
• 38:51
  at the back. Yep, it wasn't those Yeah, I know talking about
• 38:53
  yep. Yeah, yeah, and when I've grabbed more like a flat screen
• 38:59
  you kind one which was still fairly thick, you know, size of a
• 39:04
  a pretty big sandwich. Yes, I know I've got one here in this
• 39:06
  room, and the like fifteen years ago, it's still like it's it's the
• 39:08
  met it's not thin, it's not thin thing. No. But I was
• 39:14
  like, oh, I'm gonna I'll try and take and get this and get
• 39:16
  a few bucks for this at cash. He's down at cash converters like quick
• 39:23
  pull the lines down. It's like another one of these suckers. But I'm
• 39:30
  not sure I've actually took it into cash. You But I said, I've
• 39:31
  got this type of TV. I know that new TV's a popular bit.
• 39:36
  Could I give it something? Nap? You just keep on walking, okay,
• 39:45
  So yeah, a really nice Sony television. I probably ended up just
• 39:49
  I think I gave it one of my sisters in the end. But but
• 39:53
  I was driving down of the street not long ago, and you know there's
• 39:55
  hard rubbish place. You know, people will put their hard rubbish out on
• 39:58
  the streets, like yeah, fredal good Home or whatever, you know,
• 40:00
  and I saw him one of the relatively flat screen TV's. It's like,
• 40:04
  oh man, you can't even sell this on Facebook, Marketplace or whatever.
• 40:07
  Just like take it, take it? Did you take it? Oh?
• 40:12
  No, no, no, I've got like I've got my good TV that
• 40:15
  I use. I've got the TV that I had before that. And that's
• 40:20
  in the spirings. I'm like, I really like this and I get the
• 40:22
  feeling it'll be useful some day. Some way. It won't be, but
• 40:27
  yeah, it won't be. It's just gathering dust. There are two TVs
• 40:32
  in the back room. One of them is lou was cleaning out and it's
• 40:37
  like, oh, it's a TV, Like, yeah, I'm throwing this
• 40:39
  out. I'm like that might be able to use that as like a computer
• 40:43
  monitu. So you took it and it doesn't work, and I still even
• 40:45
  thrown at it. And then there was um occurring theme here. Yeah,
• 40:52
  the fact of it is I'm a hoarder or build a ship that doesn't That
• 40:57
  doesn't work. But that background especially, that's that's disgraceful. And also Mum's
• 41:02
  old one, and Mum was we thought we were doing Muma Soul, you
• 41:06
  know, for a birthday. I was like, Mum, smart TV,
• 41:08
  you can watch everything. On the one screen. Don't like it, Mum
• 41:13
  does not like. The old one was beverly good. I knew how it
• 41:15
  worked. This one, I don't know how it worked. They take so
• 41:20
  long to figure out how they work. When you give him something new,
• 41:21
  it just scares them. Yes, yeah, I worked that with my name
• 41:25
  Marlene Godblots. She's gone now, but we got her like the foxtol.
• 41:29
  She's like, I don't want fox stole. I just don't want Fox styles
• 41:31
  too. I'm like, just let me give you the box. You have
• 41:35
  to pay anything, We're gonna pay for you that Fox style, then you
• 41:37
  can. Because she was too old to the point she couldn't come to the
• 41:38
  games anymore, I was like, you can watch every AFL football game live,
• 41:43
  no ads, you can watch them all from home. She was like,
• 41:45
  ah, So what happened was one day she had to go to the
• 41:47
  doctors. So I went there and installed it all. Get the foxtyle,
• 41:50
  got to put the dish on. I installed it all. She got home
• 41:52
  and I showed it to her. She was like, it's pretty good.
• 41:57
  Gaes like so many times then would call me up and she'd be like,
• 42:02
  Brandon that the foxtail won't turn on. You pushed the power button? Yes,
• 42:07
  wait, which one's that one? The one at the top. Nothing's
• 42:10
  happening. Okay, So if you push the button on the remote, is
• 42:14
  the TV remote have changed to this thing? What lights are on the box?
• 42:19
  Blue one and a red one. I'm like, okay, so it's
• 42:20
  on. I'm all right, So whens if you push the menu button nothing,
• 42:23
  I'm like, well, you're not on the foxtail button. What do
• 42:25
  you mean I'm not on the foxtail channel. I'm like, put that,
• 42:28
  put the sauce. She goes, what what button? I was like,
• 42:31
  oh my god, it's tough. That's really tough. Just watched I'm like,
• 42:37
  nan, going forward. I had a rule watch channel nine through No.
• 42:42
  Seven, nine through foxtail. That way you don't have to flick sauces.
• 42:46
  Well we had to do. We did that as well with this new
• 42:50
  smart TV that we got for mum. But Mum's foxtail connection was so old
• 42:54
  that um connectors. Ah yeah yeah, And like we were pulling wardrobes out
• 43:00
  and we're looking to go, this doesn't plug into here. I don't know
• 43:04
  what we're gonna do. Yeah yeah, yeah, that two the two plugs.
• 43:07
  He can get free to because we were like, Mum, we're gonna
• 43:09
  set it up so you know you can watch regular TV through the foxtown and
• 43:14
  then but also Netflix and all this kind of stuff. Yeah, we didn't
• 43:15
  work, and it is so fucking smart. We just ruined this poor woman's
• 43:22
  life. All she wanted to do was what Sky new, and then she
• 43:25
  fell over and then she fell on. I think you did it just a
• 43:30
  spiders. We soon, Margaret Mary. No, she's good, she's well.
• 43:37
  I don't know whether we talked about in this podcast at last one,
• 43:38
  but yes, hopefully your mother's feeling better after that recent tumble. Yes,
• 43:42
  mum took a tumble land on the coffee table, but she's got a few
• 43:46
  bruises on the side, but no crack ribs, nothing like that. And
• 43:50
  apparently her blood work is that of a twenty five year old person. Margaret
• 43:53
  Mary still going strong, good on better than I. Yeah, still can't
• 43:58
  work the TV. Good thing about shit episodes is that we can just wander
• 44:00
  off and just talk about other stuff. I go back, Tom, this
• 44:07
  is your wife already into for the shit episode. Stee for the banter,
• 44:13
  stay for the chats. Where were we even up to he doesn't want he
• 44:16
  wants the plasma TV yet, Yes, marchess, she's entered them into a
• 44:21
  contest where first prize is an HDTV and he starts showing her affection and she
• 44:25
  gets turned on by this. He's just like, ooh, I love you.
• 44:28
  Then three weeks later, um, what the fuck was this? Oh
• 44:31
  my after forty years, my collections complete or whatever of family circus, family
• 44:37
  Circus cartoons, so what he's been cutting them out for goodness knows how long?
• 44:40
  And this like this sucks and throws it away. It's like, what
• 44:45
  the hell happened there? That is the definition of filla. This is the
• 44:51
  thing. He glues it even right, He glues into the page and then
• 44:55
  it shows the page. It on the page and it's been sticky taped.
• 45:00
  Oh I didn't see that. So he clues it past it in and then
• 45:04
  when they show you what he just did, it has tape on each four
• 45:07
  corner. Oh no, I just how does how does that get into an
• 45:13
  episode? Like, I just don't understand. That's a that's a mess.
• 45:16
  I just don't get it. But he gets a phone call from the competition.
• 45:20
  They said, oh no, no one wins first prize. You've won
• 45:22
  third prize or tour of the Fox Network and there will be no expenses paid.
• 45:25
  So then now arriving at Fox Studios, Botox is five dollars, says
• 45:29
  on the side of the wall number two and Prisoners for eighteen, Prisoners eighteen
• 45:32
  to forty nine. And this is where they make the best damned sports show
• 45:36
  period, the worst show period. I think it's Jody's World with David Spade.
• 45:40
  They love shitting on David's but I think everyone just love shitting on David's
• 45:43
  Spade, right, Yeah, which is he a nice great look. I've
• 45:46
  never seen anything where he comes across like a jerk. I don't know,
• 45:52
  No, I don't think that's the case. I mean, I think he's
• 45:54
  got that persona. I mean, apparently Eddie Murphy hated him because, okay,
• 45:59
  he made this gone weekend update on SNL where he was He pointed they
• 46:04
  had put up a bit of Eddie Murphy when Eddie Murphy's movies were tanking Little
• 46:07
  Kids a Falling Star, and Eddie Mophies like fucked his game. This guy
• 46:14
  for Live Yeah, but yeah, I mean he was kind of like Chris
• 46:19
  Farley's Rob Schneider wasn't he he was? Yeah, yeah, I mean he
• 46:23
  tried to have it. He had a couple of movies where he was the
• 46:25
  start. There was Joe Dirt, which I never watched, Yeah, and
• 46:29
  Joe Dit Too, which I also never watched. I remember Joe Dirt one
• 46:32
  being quite popular when it came out. Yeah, well, clearly and made
• 46:37
  a sequel. And he made one called Diggy Roberts Former Child Star, which
• 46:39
  I think was not that great. A romantic comedy called Lost and Found.
• 46:44
  Um. Also, I don't think i've ever seen that peak is him in
• 46:50
  um just shoot me? He was very good in that. Yeah, yeah,
• 46:53
  yeah, I mean suited to his talents, absolutely apparently a real ladies
• 46:58
  man, like he dated like some incredibly hot women. Okay, and then
• 47:05
  I mean you look at David Spain's like, okay again, come tall as
• 47:09
  tall as a duck, but hung like a donkey. Maybe. Oh wait,
• 47:15
  look there's damn cast Lanetta from the Tracy Elman shoel Hey, funny man,
• 47:21
  something funny. Please don't lean out of the tram, sir, you
• 47:24
  might get hurt. A bit interaction here with him, Homer and Dan Castle
• 47:31
  Netta, which I'm assuming Dad would have got a kick out of sort of
• 47:34
  engage with himself. Yeah, but another jet that doesn't really go anywhere.
• 47:37
  It was good hearing someone else say it so now, and then I just
• 47:40
  kept repeating, and I thought I nearly said it wrong again. I was
• 47:44
  like castel Netta, Castelletta, Cattelletta. We will never get it wrong again,
• 47:49
  I promise, kind of like garage and garage not a guarantee, not
• 47:53
  a guarantee. They go through the various reality shows which ibrow raising in twenty
• 47:59
  twenty three. One was Midgets Versus Dwarves or Michet or Dwarf Midget America decide,
• 48:05
  Yeah, it's like, no, I don't know about that, but
• 48:07
  it's funny given the you know, we just spent like ten minutes talking about
• 48:13
  fun and they've got a million dollars fart off. Yeah, we'd watch that,
• 48:17
  we'd watch we would and maybe a pair. Yes. Then they see
• 48:22
  the Mother's Mother Flippers cast and call says there's already one of those on another
• 48:27
  network and gives her an ABC sweatshirt, then locks her in the holding pen
• 48:30
  for American Idol, which we're just discussing recently as well. There's sort of
• 48:34
  two jabs at American Odol. Here is Ryan Seacrest and American Idol. But
• 48:37
  Homer signs them up after hearing that the first prize is enough to buy an
• 48:39
  HDTV and marshes, well, that's very interesting or could damage many many lives.
• 48:45
  And they talk her and drew it as well, and we get her
• 48:47
  trying to say I'll do it. And Julie Kavno did well with this.
• 48:52
  She did, indeed, but a lot like I was trying to say garage
• 48:54
  or garage. I didn't realize so many ways you could say I'll do it.
• 48:57
  But she somehow found a way. She found it multiple variation. She
• 49:00
  was the multiverse of madness with that ship. Yeah, let me come back
• 49:04
  from commercial and the heath bars that is randomly at the Simpson's house. Now
• 49:07
  they brought them all the way for all the way from the UK? Is
• 49:09
  that how this show worked? I'm pretty sure the family didn't meet each other
• 49:12
  until the end. Did they come from the UK or somewhere else in America?
• 49:19
  From Connecticut or something? Oh? It was assumed. Okay, yeah,
• 49:23
  because they say, what's the Nate state? Which one is that?
• 49:27
  What is the Nutmes state? Let's look it up. That makes stain.
• 49:30
  That makes smell about Connecticut. Yeah, the Nutmes state. Okay, that
• 49:35
  makes more sense. Yeah, oh yeah, because she's at Yale, which
• 49:37
  is in Connects of course. Yeah. I just I just assumed UK because
• 49:39
  it's Ricky Gervase, Okay. And also another shot at Yale, yes of
• 49:45
  course. Yeah, they even know most of them are from there, all
• 49:47
  went to there. Yeah, yeah, so they're they're meeting the Simpsons family.
• 49:52
  Verdi says that she was the youngest fool professor at Yale. As you
• 49:54
  were just saying, Homer and Bart just moon everybody just yeah, go directly
• 50:00
  into ugly American mode or just you know, thir a dipshit mode. Yeah,
• 50:04
  there pixels in the world. Then he Hammet meets Charles, and Charles
• 50:09
  Ricky just sort of does his usual stick and I bet the twist is that
• 50:13
  he's gay, and Lisa pleads with Homer, you know, can you please
• 50:16
  not do this is gonna be embarrassing TV. But Lisa TV TV SA,
• 50:22
  Yeah, I didn't mind the diagram that he showed Charles. These are the
• 50:24
  various places of Marge you cannot touch. And I'm like the especially the hair
• 50:29
  line. But I'm like, I don't know about this. I'm always too
• 50:34
  much like property. True, I'm always curious about like shows about like wife
• 50:37
  Swap, though, I mean, I say this is a die hard view
• 50:40
  of ninety day fiance. Of course, these things are all rigged up and
• 50:44
  they're all set up. I mean they're not. There's some realism to it,
• 50:47
  but it's like everything. There's no way like someone's having an affair with
• 50:51
  the husband on those shows, like there's cameras epic where Yeah, I don't
• 50:55
  know. The best part though, is that that kid I've think we've talked
• 50:58
  about before in the podcast. Do you think she could walk in here a
• 51:01
  little har he heels that little hillbilly. You've seen that one. I think
• 51:07
  you've told me about it, and it is one of the greatest moments in
• 51:08
  the history of wife Swap. It's just so good. He's like, you
• 51:13
  can't have bacon. He's like, ah, bacon, you can't tell me
• 51:16
  I'm not having my bacon. He like runs away from home. It's it's
• 51:19
  so fucking funny. I'll send you lift that one as well. But but
• 51:22
  yeah, so he meets um Charles here Charles heath bar and he shows him
• 51:27
  the diagram and then he says he's gonna bit of an elbow thing, which
• 51:30
  I believe it was. Yeah, that is margest thing, isn't it that
• 51:34
  she likes nibbling the elbows? We learned that in Secrets of a Successful Marriage.
• 51:37
  Oh my gosh. Yeah, okay, Well, clearly a fan a
• 51:39
  bit of a callback, yep, And that would make home a concern because
• 51:44
  he knows much a little thing that she likes him nibbed on the elbow.
• 51:46
  Then we get Verity sleeping in margin Hummer's bed. I was like, oh.
• 51:51
  At first, I was like, wait, they' stopping at the same
• 51:52
  bed. I was like, at least Homer's moving walking out. She done
• 51:54
  this show because she wants to humiliate Charles, and she's not satisfied. But
• 51:59
  then we later on that she's got a pool boy and another lover, so
• 52:01
  she is satisfied, just not my Charles. She's like, it sort of
• 52:07
  doesn't jibe that, you know, she's gone through all these cruel, dusty
• 52:09
  years, when clearly she's you know, he's getting satisfied behind my various gents
• 52:15
  and later a lady. You know, you don't seem like the money hungry
• 52:20
  semi stripper who was usually unfucked. Why do you do it? Well?
• 52:23
  I thought there was no further way I go to humiliate my husband, and
• 52:27
  then this opportunity came along. I see, well I should be getting to
• 52:32
  the living room. You know, I despise my husband. Well he didn't
• 52:37
  get the price pig at the fair either. Charles hasn't satisfied me in years.
• 52:42
  Yeah, that's how I feel about Notre Dame football cruel dusty years.
• 52:47
  I don't know why I ever married dead woman? What does he say?
• 52:51
  I know why I ever married that woman or something like that. I'm just
• 52:52
  like, what is happening here? I didn't get that line. I mean,
• 52:54
  is he sort of talking is is he meant to be saying like,
• 52:59
  oh, I don't know why I married Verity? Homer is saying this when
• 53:02
  but he's not really married to very yet. But he's like, it doesn't
• 53:06
  Yeah, it just doesn't play all that well because he was saying that,
• 53:09
  you know, you're not a catch either, and she's going on and on
• 53:12
  and on, and I didn't know whether they were trying to say as you're
• 53:14
  saying that he's now turning, he's now thinking like her. Now she's thinking
• 53:17
  about margin the same way that she thinks about Charles. But I don't think
• 53:21
  so. No, I think it's more like, how do I get married
• 53:23
  to this one when he's not really married at this woman except just under the
• 53:27
  guise of mother Flippers or whatever it's called. And then the rest of the
• 53:30
  episode is just a Ricky Gervay's showcase, isn't it. It really is.
• 53:34
  It's him just I mean, him just talking about how he manages his offers.
• 53:37
  Like remember he's on that show of the offers, that that show that
• 53:39
  you're liked, you know, all the stuff about Oh, no, choose
• 53:44
  the but I do choose the committee. Oh we'll not really, no,
• 53:45
  but it choose where they meet. Yeah, I mean his rhythms are so
• 53:50
  specific that they only work in stuff that he kind of designs. Yeah,
• 53:54
  the contrast translate to other things, the contrast between SIPs, his humor and
• 53:59
  that it's just so start that it's just it doesn't blend well together, as
• 54:01
  we're saying at the start here. But yeah, or just about anything,
• 54:06
  because I mean, they, of course was popular, and they he headlined
• 54:08
  a couple of movies in Hollywood. I mean, let's say, I don't
• 54:12
  think that I don't think either did all that well. He did one called
• 54:15
  ghost Town with Guy's major crush tay Leone, and oh yeah, she's fantastic.
• 54:22
  Get on the Simpsons, and I remember thinking that this isn't bad,
• 54:28
  but at the same time, this would be so much better with someone else
• 54:31
  in it. Yep, you're not bad in it, but this movie with
• 54:36
  a better without you win it. At the same time, there are certain
• 54:38
  things that Ricky Debyz does that no one else can do, but they have
• 54:42
  to be in his particular playground. And yeah, and The Simpsons is not
• 54:45
  their playground. To the HUMANU waste what he does, particularly stuff on the
• 54:50
  office, and that he doesn't get that love and gratification that he's looking for
• 54:53
  right when Marge gets it to his straight away. It's like that goes against
• 54:58
  what makes his stuff funny, you know, it's sort of like an ironic
• 55:02
  Oh, he's actually getting the love that he's always wanted. But then yeah,
• 55:06
  it does not even love, just acceptance just yeah, you know,
• 55:09
  yeah, it's a good representation of Marge two. She just accepts the bare
• 55:14
  minimum as enough. That's what we loved it about her as well. But
• 55:19
  I don't know, but I mean, don't get me wrong. I think
• 55:21
  managing your own office that's impressive. That's that's nothing to be not proud of,
• 55:25
  you know. And I couldn't do it. No, I couldn't do
• 55:28
  it either. So um so, like I mean, Nicolas, she manages
• 55:30
  an office and I'm just like fucking she's getting goals, but I can barely
• 55:34
  manage my own ship. So Charles, what do you do for eleven?
• 55:38
  Well? I'm an office manager. And no, I didn't even get a
• 55:43
  promotion today. Again, so go on, go ahead, disembound me with
• 55:46
  your pointy, pointy words. Really you'll manage a whole office? Yes,
• 55:54
  yes, yes I do. Actually, well that's very impressive. Does that
• 56:00
  include the people and the furniture? Yeah? And I decide where the Christmas
• 56:05
  part is held. Actually it's decided by committee. But you know I choose
• 56:07
  the committee. Hello, I don't. I don't. I don't choose the
• 56:15
  committee as such, but you know I choose where they meet this year,
• 56:19
  I am thinking of conference room C. Who that leaves am B available for
• 56:24
  overflow? Well done, Verity tells Bart no TV and too you do the
• 56:29
  dishes and sounds sort of Helper and Maggie you're doing the dishes there, and
• 56:32
  Bart brings up that Mum always says, why bother punishing me? I never
• 56:36
  learned. I was like, that doesn't seem like a margin, it seems
• 56:37
  like a home a line. Yeah. I can't imagine Marge of saying missus
• 56:43
  line. Yeah, I can't imagine Marge ever saying that. Marge is always
• 56:45
  persistent trying to make Bart a better child. Yeah, yeah, I mean
• 56:49
  you said recently in a previous episode, there was a bit where they're talking
• 56:54
  about, oh yeah, it's like when Bart was playing soccer or playing sports.
• 57:00
  You know, we just thought he sucked or something, and then he
• 57:01
  cut the Bart crying yeah, And I mean you were really sort of up
• 57:04
  in arms with it. It's like that it's not something the Marge would do
• 57:06
  that kind of sucks. Yeah. This, yeah, this feels like they
• 57:09
  took six different jigsaws and threw them all into the one box and all the
• 57:13
  pieces and just don't fit, not at all. No, So now the
• 57:15
  family reading at their reports, she's making them do the reports on what they've
• 57:20
  watched on TV, and she makes Homer do see us I Miami. And
• 57:22
  this was just Dan just being able to just be dumb, Homer saying,
• 57:27
  and I watched this, and then this happened, and then I woke up
• 57:30
  and Letterman was talking to Alias. I mean, I always enjoy those,
• 57:32
  but when he watched Wife Swap, it was very obvious they always had their
• 57:37
  idea of who they wanted to be portrayed as the mean mum and that,
• 57:42
  Oh man, I wish you and my mum, Like there's always there's always
• 57:45
  a contrast like that. And obviously Verity here is the mean mum making them
• 57:49
  do all these reports and everything. But then Charles's son Ben, he plays
• 57:52
  the does he plays. He's really good at it. I can't remember.
• 57:54
  I forgot. I just remember he was doing Chinese or something. Yes,
• 57:58
  you know, he's a He's apt or some kind. And then this is
• 58:00
  where Charles tells Marge the joke about murdering your wife. And I liked the
• 58:06
  joke, but just margin interrupting it all the time, just killed the flow
• 58:08
  of it, Like as a joke, I'm like, this works. It's
• 58:13
  a good bad taste joke. Yeah, that kind of. Either it's a
• 58:16
  roddy danger for it works because you recognize the bad taste or you if you
• 58:22
  like it because you've got no soul and yeah, it's just mean tonguing sheet.
• 58:25
  But Marge takes it literally. Of course that sound terrible, and I'm
• 58:29
  like, well, shut up much. You're a born story. So I
• 58:34
  was like, more like boring story. Adell. Hey, she wants to
• 58:37
  hear another joke, so she goes off to make a cup of tea,
• 58:38
  I believe, or it goes to do something first, and then he chose
• 58:42
  to the camera says one more kind word, and I'm going to be completely
• 58:44
  smitten, and she says, I think it waffles. The toaster takes bagels,
• 58:46
  takes bagels. That's right, And then there it is. We come
• 58:50
  back from commercial once again, and Verity is now burning all the home.
• 58:52
  This is this was so randomly scene. He I smell something good, I'm
• 58:57
  burning or your underwear. Oh, and that's it. That's that. That
• 59:00
  is actually like the last we see I've varied in home together. Oh my
• 59:05
  god, that's it. I just don't understand what's going on here. But
• 59:09
  Marge, it is the thing. Why do you waste so much time at
• 59:13
  Lenny's house with the TV when you could have had more Ricky Gervais and flashing
• 59:16
  at that story, you know, yeah, yeah, silly. Maybe they
• 59:20
  were like, well, oh like the Simpsons, I want to spend times
• 59:22
  in the Simpsons universe, and you know, give give some time to my
• 59:24
  favorite characters. Well, you know, play around with it in the sand
• 59:28
  box with my favorite characters. Maybe. But Marge arrives home from shopping and
• 59:31
  Charles is there in his kimono. He sent Ben with the housekeeper who's out
• 59:35
  having a drink and she's depressed, and then he plays Margie's song. Did
• 59:39
  I tell you I'm a bit of a songwriter words and music? Hold the
• 59:43
  applause. I wrote this song for a woman was not interested in me to
• 59:50
  do yes, not interested. Let me just breathe your scent for a moment
• 59:53
  before I play. Lady, when you came to me, I was feeling
• 1:00:09
  blue, blue, just like your hair. You see blue, just like
• 1:00:15
  the moon, but only when the moon is blue and not when it is
• 1:00:21
  creaming. And now that you are here with me, I am in a
• 1:00:27
  dream. Oh yeah, much, Your dreams can't come true, lady.
• 1:00:34
  When you go away, I feel like I could die, not like die
• 1:00:39
  like your hair is died, but die like lady die, and not like
• 1:00:45
  die like her name is die but die like when she died. Oh but
• 1:00:54
  lady just like Lady die, but my princess to night, but don't die,
• 1:01:01
  don't die. I don't think even in twenty two thousand and six people
• 1:01:06
  were ready to make jokes because to stop being dead or not. I think
• 1:01:09
  in twenty twenty three people still like it's just one of those things. It's
• 1:01:13
  one of those deaths that you just never touch from a comedian perspectively, not.
• 1:01:16
  I just don't think anyone's like it'll always be too soon. I think
• 1:01:20
  with Lady Dies again, I think it's it's very much a David Brent from
• 1:01:23
  the Office thing who viewed himselves as, you know, like a frustrated musician
• 1:01:27
  who was always breaking out the guitar with chance he got, except his songs
• 1:01:30
  were always shite. And yeah again this is just a David Brent bit done
• 1:01:35
  by Charles what's his name, heath Bar heath Bar. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:39
  so that's all it is. It's just it's Ricky Gervais's greatest hits whatever,
• 1:01:45
  but just didn't work for me. I mean, the song is fine,
• 1:01:46
  but he confesses his love ear to Marge and she says, no, I
• 1:01:51
  can't you know it's not gonna work. You know, I've got Homeer and
• 1:01:53
  he'll do anything for my love, but it never kills him. And I'm
• 1:01:55
  just like, I swear the whole purpose of your marriage these days is the
• 1:01:59
  point of how bad home Rus his husband. But anyway, yeah, you
• 1:02:01
  keep saying how good he is, despite yeah, us seeing how bad he
• 1:02:05
  is. Haven't he left him three seasons at three episodes already this season seems
• 1:02:08
  that way. Yeah, yeah, you're you're You're constantly throwing him out of
• 1:02:12
  the house, So what are you going on about here? But then Lisa
• 1:02:15
  randomly arrives because Fox flew her there on the Frito Lays air force. Yum,
• 1:02:19
  did Freto sponsored this episode or something like why what? Why they sent
• 1:02:22
  Lisa to come get you? Why? Why? I don't know. I
• 1:02:25
  think it's just Ricky probably saying, oh something about Fox's vulgar commercialism and all
• 1:02:32
  that kind of stuff. Okay, I guess he says he's going to tag
• 1:02:39
  along as well so he can tell his wife he's gonna leave her. And
• 1:02:42
  I'm like, you couldn't just wait to go back? Maybe who knows?
• 1:02:45
  And then Charles does a Trump impression which fell flat again. Yeah, because
• 1:02:52
  he had to tell us it was drump because I didn't know it. Yeah,
• 1:02:53
  under that is the joke that was that's meant to be that he thought
• 1:02:57
  it was good when it wasn't good. But I don't know this. Yeah,
• 1:03:00
  this episode is not not very good. I'm struggling to find anything positive
• 1:03:05
  in it. Really, I'm sorry. Yeah, the end, and then
• 1:03:07
  Homers by himself. He's his time to let Homer be Homer. So he
• 1:03:09
  rips off his pants and he's got pizza struck to his leg for whatever reason,
• 1:03:14
  and she Marge arrives home and again the first thing Homer says is,
• 1:03:21
  Oh, she made me spend time with the kids. Can you decide whether
• 1:03:25
  he wanted to be a good guy, a good father, or a bad
• 1:03:28
  father? Like you just told this guy that you know he'll do anything for
• 1:03:30
  her marriage might love and he loves his family, and then you get home
• 1:03:34
  with the first thing he says is, she's horrible because she made me spend
• 1:03:36
  time with the kids. Right, okay, because he is not married with
• 1:03:38
  Children's it's weird. It's a weird thing. It's it's it's it's the inconsistency
• 1:03:44
  with the Homer character that seems more puzzling. Nounced that some episodes when it
• 1:03:46
  needs when's required for the story. Homer is a good dad and a good
• 1:03:49
  husband, but most of the time he's just so unlikable. It's it's weird.
• 1:03:54
  But Charles says he's looking for Verity. He's going to tell him that
• 1:03:59
  he's leaving her, and she's gone, she's getting hit the curb. And
• 1:04:01
  then she is um. They're saying she's leaving him because she's now dating Patty.
• 1:04:05
  And we get Homer making the joke about not voting for thirty eight so
• 1:04:10
  that they can't adopt the child. You're making him even more unlikable. What
• 1:04:15
  has happened? Yeah, Homer not liking Patty's one thing, but Homer making
• 1:04:18
  it a bigot. Yeah, just I don't know. Then Homer is playing
• 1:04:24
  the song, which you think is for Marge, but he's serenading the television
• 1:04:28
  and says, oh, Marge, you're pretty great too, and she says,
• 1:04:30
  yeah, sure whatever, closes her eyes and goes asleep, and and
• 1:04:32
  we wish we could do the same. They're still a little bit more over.
• 1:04:35
  The closing chrits just Ricky vamping on the guitar. Yeah, and just
• 1:04:40
  riffing over the credits for no reason at all. Just yeah, this was
• 1:04:44
  This was not a good episode. Not good. No, sir, I
• 1:04:46
  did not like it. I'm interested in if there's huge Ricky Gervais fans out
• 1:04:50
  there, let us know, sipsmail bag at gmail dot com. Did you
• 1:04:55
  enjoy this episode because I don't know. I don't dislike him, but I
• 1:05:00
  just felt like his brand mixed into the Simpsons universe just did not blend.
• 1:05:03
  Well, that's exactly right. Yeah, I mean the Ricky Gervaise slash David
• 1:05:10
  Brent, because that's what he's doing here. Yeah, that stuff is pretty
• 1:05:14
  good as far as that stuff goes. But it's just such an awkward fit
• 1:05:16
  in this episode, in this episode, in the Simpsons universe, it doesn't
• 1:05:19
  work. It should never have happened, but it did, and we talked
• 1:05:26
  about it. But now we're done talking about it. Dan though, And
• 1:05:28
  the thing is, they even like they didn't just try and have the character
• 1:05:31
  betray Ricky Jervais on the office. They even drew him to look like Ricky
• 1:05:34
  Jervaise. Yeah, Like, if you're gonna do that just having be Ricky
• 1:05:38
  Jervais, I don't know. What do we learn, Palmer? What'd you
• 1:05:42
  learn in the episode? Mister Davis? But certain jokes from fifteen or so
• 1:05:47
  years ago regarding little people don't really fly in twenty twenty three, and to
• 1:05:53
  be honest, probably didn't really fly in two thousand and six. Yes,
• 1:05:56
  they flew, but they shouldn't have. I learned that never send the kids
• 1:06:03
  out with the housekeeper. What was that bit? I don't know was that?
• 1:06:06
  What was that? I just and it's like about this episode, there's
• 1:06:12
  seventy moments, but you could have said that, what was this bit that
• 1:06:15
  you got? The letter? The comic at home is like the collection of
• 1:06:18
  the comics that he's pasted in the book. What was that even about Kyle
• 1:06:21
  dancing and then leaving the party because he's got work tomorrow? What's that about?
• 1:06:26
  To quote Ricky Gervais in this episode, no logic not to know forward
• 1:06:30
  your name droby? All right? So for the Guy Davis New Name Championship,
• 1:06:34
  the current leaderboard stands at this in first position we have Luke McKay on
• 1:06:39
  twelve points, Kyle m I'll done on nine points, and in third position
• 1:06:43
  we have Adam Willhouse on eight points. Hit me, mister Davis, what
• 1:06:45
  have we got? One point goes to Verity is the spice of wife.
• 1:06:50
  Oh, that's a very good one. That one goes to Luke McKay with
• 1:06:55
  the one point. This week, Luke's finally got some points. He's missed
• 1:06:57
  out the last couple, but he's now on the big thirteen points. All
• 1:07:00
  right, who's got two? Nice one? Um, Look, the timing
• 1:07:03
  is off for this one because this episode happened far before the movie that this
• 1:07:10
  title is sort of ripping on. But wives out, wives out, and
• 1:07:14
  they're not bad. Indeed, that is Adam Adam Woolhouse once again with two
• 1:07:16
  points or Adam's crow and that leader board. I think he's in second position
• 1:07:20
  now wool House, yes, all right and the three points three points four
• 1:07:26
  high infidelity, Well played. Garrod harrow Hill, the King is backroid Gorod
• 1:07:32
  is back. Yes, so Gorod with the three points there that puts Garrode
• 1:07:38
  in equal third position with clever Kyle on nine points. Adam Moorehouse outright second
• 1:07:42
  on ten points and in first position with three points clear of second. Is
• 1:07:46
  Luke McKay's done it again. Nice work, folks, Nice working. Indeed,
• 1:07:49
  if you want to be part of the Guy Davis New End Championship.
• 1:07:51
  You've just got to be a four figured discount page and be part of the
• 1:07:56
  exclusive Facebook group. All right with Davis, it's our time for some mail
• 1:07:59
  back question mail bank debail Here. First question here comes from Mark Boston purchase.
• 1:08:09
  What is your favorite Gervais moment slash program slash We're pretty much sure had
• 1:08:12
  to cover that we have. Yeah, I mean, like I said,
• 1:08:15
  I really dug him on that Alias episode. I thought it was very good.
• 1:08:18
  There's a lot I like in the Office. I didn't appreciate the efforts
• 1:08:23
  to sort of string it out a bit. He made a movie called David
• 1:08:26
  Brent Life on the Road many years after The Office finished. It was like
• 1:08:32
  trying a bit too hard. Although he will occasionally surprise you. I mean,
• 1:08:36
  he did the show called Derek in which he played a mentally challenged fella
• 1:08:41
  essentially, which is like you almost want to say, you know, you
• 1:08:45
  want to be Robert Dandy Junior in Tropic Funder and don't go for our word,
• 1:08:48
  but he does. But at the same time, I watched an episode
• 1:08:51
  or two of it and almost found myself in tears to the end because like
• 1:08:55
  a lot of the message was really sweet and and very heartfelt, and I
• 1:08:59
  think he he's good in in that way. But sometimes he's delivery vehicle is
• 1:09:04
  a little bit wobbly, shall we say, But oh, he's got some
• 1:09:10
  good stuff to him. Andrew JP says, what's your favorite type of Cimpsons
• 1:09:15
  celebrity cameo? Meta and sulf For West celebrities playing fictional versions of themselves or
• 1:09:18
  immersing themselves into original characters, I prefer guest stars where you pretty much can't
• 1:09:24
  tell it's them and you've just so absorbed in this new create our character that
• 1:09:29
  the bandaged to create. Look, that's a really good point. I think
• 1:09:30
  it also just depends on the person doing it. I mean one of my
• 1:09:34
  favorites is Edward Norton, just purely for that line when he comes to the
• 1:09:39
  court and you know, talk about I'm a triple threat. I think I
• 1:09:42
  just love that as you as you can doubt um or you know, William
• 1:09:45
  Dafarre. I mean, these guys are character actors. They can just naturally
• 1:09:48
  sort of sink into any role. But I really dug it when Mel Gibson
• 1:09:51
  played Mel Gibson, I thought that was fantastic. When handle correctly. Yeah,
• 1:09:55
  when the writing handle quickly. And of course one of my favorite all
• 1:09:59
  time Sinceons it is just Ron Howard holding up the Saxon money at the end.
• 1:10:01
  How would you if that it again? It's so great. I just
• 1:10:06
  love that so much. I'm gonna say what comes to the episode with Alec
• 1:10:10
  Bourbur and Michelle Base Kim Bassengassenger? Yeah or base and yeah, actually how
• 1:10:18
  to pronounce her name? But that's a good one as well. Yeah,
• 1:10:20
  but Baldwin plays Ballwin and that one right, but then Baldwin plays the ocean
• 1:10:25
  ocean guy in a later you're right, yeah, yeah, so he saw
• 1:10:30
  he does both. So I'm sorry who asked this question. This is JP
• 1:10:32
  GP Andrew JP. My Baldi is for making myself very comfortable on the fence
• 1:10:38
  here by sitting on it and saying I like it both ways. I could
• 1:10:42
  like it both ways. Sounds like your chairs enjoying it too. It's very
• 1:10:45
  noisy your chair today. I think it's someone to invest into. Sounds like
• 1:10:49
  if I could sitting on the old KP seat from nineteen eighty seven. It's
• 1:10:54
  like, please get off me. This really hurts me. I'm like,
• 1:10:59
  what the fuck is that? Sound well that that was. That's because I
• 1:11:01
  was wriggling my butt to emphasize a point. Yes, Andrew sit very still
• 1:11:09
  from now. Andrew Swan says, guy might have mentioned it before. But
• 1:11:12
  besides ninety Day Fiance, what other trashy reality shows does he have a guilty
• 1:11:15
  pleasure in indulging? Well, let's see, there's ninety Day the other the
• 1:11:19
  other way is ninety Day Fiance. Happily ever after question Mark, there's the
• 1:11:30
  it's the ninety day universe. It's I don't need to watch anything else.
• 1:11:34
  There are so many very ages intertwining any way, like people from various seasons
• 1:11:39
  meet each other at any point or oh yeah, they've I think when it
• 1:11:44
  started it used to be the case it's like we're going to follow you know,
• 1:11:46
  this couple as they go through this you know, ninety day tribulation process
• 1:11:50
  or whatever. And then some people on it became like such characters. There's
• 1:11:57
  like we're going to follow them on their search for Okay, before the before
• 1:12:04
  the shows dominated television, the big ones were always Big Brother, of course,
• 1:12:10
  but do you remember obviously you know, survivors still going, but remember
• 1:12:12
  our big survivor was that was so one was huge. That was a massive
• 1:12:15
  But do you remember the one that I used to love them most? Um?
• 1:12:19
  It was kind of like our version of The Amazing Race kind of,
• 1:12:21
  but it was The Mole. Remember the Mowl? Yeah? Oh yeah yeah.
• 1:12:26
  On the Mole, it was like there was one person on the show.
• 1:12:28
  It's like that person's infiltrated everything like that, everything up for the inside.
• 1:12:33
  There was a show that started at all called The House from Hell and
• 1:12:36
  ed on Channel ten the other want to say, like ninety eight, and
• 1:12:39
  it was a bunch of just basically just get a bunch of like young early
• 1:12:43
  twenty somethings throwing in the house and just film it. And it was Shenanigans,
• 1:12:45
  but it was it was before Big Brother was the thing, and it
• 1:12:47
  was so cool at the time. Was it like an Australian version like mptv's
• 1:12:53
  in the real world exactly what it was? The House from Hell? Ye?
• 1:12:56
  Okay, God, I can't remember that one. But it's funny that
• 1:13:00
  Andrew asked this question of name check ninety days because uh, years ago makes
