Eternal Moonshine Of The Simpson Mind (S19E09) · Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

0:00
But there are still a few things I don't understand, like why did Marge
0:03
light at cheap Wig. I'm about how she got that black guy because I
0:07
didn't want him finding out about the party. I mean, he's okay,
0:11
but you know he brings Sarah and I just don't care for that one four
0:16
finger discut, dude. Welcome to four figure Discount where this week we're here
0:35
to review episode nine of season nineteen of The Simpsons. It is eternal moonshine
0:40
of the Simpson Mind. I'm Dando and I'm Guy. That's why we're here.
0:43
That's why we are here. I forgot. Yeah, it's been so
0:46
long. So basically, as we discussed on going down to south like this
0:49
week, and we discussed on the previous recordings, Guy and Dano took a
0:52
holiday. I took a holiday holiday with the two kids. With the now
0:58
six year old, haven't brought that alliot, we' talk about his birth down
1:00
in a minute and a three year old. It was fun. We had
1:03
shenanigans at the start, but we got there in the end. We went
1:08
from the Dandy Knong's to Healsville, Heelsville and where one goes to heel Yes,
1:15
exactly right, and you went to Bali and you've come back with a
1:17
head cold. That is correct. Yes, I don't need to put any
1:19
quote marks around holiday, because I actually had. I had a holiday,
1:22
which I mean the Lovely Louise and the Sunshine. Admittedly, the Lovely Louise
1:26
picked up a tiny dose of dengy fever which knocked her for six for the
1:32
day, but then she bounced back just perfectly. Meanwhile, I soldier through,
1:36
and then in the Wuhan lab that was my flight back, clearly picked
1:42
up some kind of bug, but nonetheless soldiering on, powering through to bring
1:46
you another episode of four Finger Discount, which I mean I made the memory
1:51
joke before. It's because this episode is all about memory. Good episode,
1:53
good episode, Yes, an episode that has been considered one of the best
1:59
of the post Golden era, and an episode that Algae has quote marks today.
2:02
Yeah, and an episode that al Geen has said that he thinks could
2:06
have been the finale of the Simpsons Eternal Means of the Simpsons Mind. Is
2:09
this an episode that you think would have been a satisfying ending to the Simpsons.
2:14
No, I don't agree either. I can see why he might think
2:19
that and he would have his reasons. I think if this was the finale
2:22
of The Simpsons, I would be very disappointed. Yeah, I would think
2:24
that if you were going to, yeah, wrap things up, it's not
2:29
a bad way to go about it. A memory episode, one that allows
2:32
you to go back and I don't reframe was acknowledging the past as well,
2:39
Yeah, very much so. But I mean you can't do it just based
2:43
on Homo. It has to be memories of every single family member. Well,
2:46
I just thought for a finale for The Simpsons, for me personally,
2:47
I know they always say they want to keep a short and sweet or it's
2:51
just simple. Sorry. I want an episode that really explores the Springfield.
2:54
Doesn't have to be a crazy story, but you gotta explore Springfield and just
2:58
say your farewells. Wore the main side characters as well, absolutely, yeah,
3:02
yeah, I mean the show has well, the show is still called
3:05
The Simpsons, of course, but really it has become a bad Springfield,
3:07
and I think we have become very accustomed to so many of of the town's
3:13
residents. I mean, of course, our hearts are always going to be
3:15
with Homer in Marge and the kids, but I think it's expanded a bit
3:20
beyond that. Like the Grinch, our hearts have grown maybe three sizes.
3:23
What was the Simpsons version of the Grinch? The Gruff? The Gruff was
3:27
the gruff the Gruff, not the gruff Loo. It was a terrible character,
3:30
remember it was that mascot, and then all of a sudden it was
3:32
a real character because it started bleeding. Oh that wasn't good. Now I
3:37
remember the episode and how much it sucked. Yeah, I don't know,
3:39
but this didn't say I wish we'd had the forgive Me shot for that episode.
3:43
What I will say is that this is the Homer that it felt like
3:46
we all sort of or I grew up on where he's You know, he's
3:50
lovable, but it's sometimes irrational, he's sometimes irresponsible. But at the end
3:53
of the day, he loves his family and he's a good person. Yes,
3:55
and any extreme measures that he takes are usually for the good of his
4:01
family and even putting his own well being to the side. Now he's willing
4:09
to make sacrifices for the people that he loves. Yes, he may go
4:13
about that in a half assed or ham fisted way, but nevertheless he does
4:16
it. His heart is in the right place now. The title of this
4:18
film is a play of This episode is a play on which film. It's
4:23
a play on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Is the story structure of
4:27
this episode anything like that film? Not really, No, this is it
4:31
borrows a little bit from it, but it borrows a little bit from a
4:33
lot of things. This episode. There's a lot of references in this.
4:36
It's Jim Carrey, right. It is a Jim Carry Kate Winslet movie because
4:40
he went, didn't he he went through a phase where he was making films
4:42
because at number twenty three he did as well. Yeah, not very good.
4:46
I'm a serial killer movie. I think I've heard the best of my
4:47
recollection. I've had mixed things. Yeah, I was. I never ventured
4:51
into that carry. I was just like, you're always going to be dumb
4:55
and dumbo. Carry to me, cable God, I don't want to see
4:57
serious carry. Yeah, if you're going to get serious carry. This is
5:00
probably one of the best Eternal Sunshine I mean, to my mind, it's
5:04
that and The Truman Show are his best one something. It's fantastic for its
5:09
own thing, isn't it. It's very much its own thing. But and
5:11
it's also a really good combination of wacky Jim Carrey and more serious Jim Carrey.
5:15
I think I could for me. You know how, we've all got
5:18
ten films in our life that were just rewatch and never get sick of.
5:21
Truman Show is one of those. For me. I'd say it's up there
5:24
for mine, certainly, certainly in the top twenty five. Really fantastic movie
5:27
and it still works today. Oh yeah, weird does not miss If you
5:30
want to check out our review of the Truman Shows available on our Patreon.
5:33
Yeah, that's a movie game. We did a really good review. I
5:35
was really happy with that. We spent an hour just loving the film,
5:39
just riffin, Yeah, just riffing good times. But that yea. The
5:42
Eternal Sunshine is a very good movie. It's I want to say, it's
5:45
dead serious. It's kind of weirdly funny at times, but mainly it's this
5:49
bit of sweet romance between Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, who arrived for each
5:56
other but completely wrong for each other, and the weird scientific experiments to go
6:00
into it. It's certainly worth checking out, but it's not necessarily a laugh
6:04
a minute. Okay, now, I mentioned earlier it was Elliott's birthday and
6:09
the weekend, Happy birthday, Elliott. It turned six this week. Can
6:13
you believe it? I've had listeners. Zach Prud our main man, our
6:15
editor. He said that he still remembers when I was announcing that Nichola was
6:18
pregnant on the podcast and now he's six. And I just love the fact
6:23
that this podcast has almost become like a life diary of mine, you know,
6:26
just an audio diary of my life, because we always band about our
6:28
lives here and there throughout the show. It's not just all about the Simpsons,
6:30
but I think about his birthday is right, so you know it loves
6:32
his footy, right, So he's Nanny and Pops forward from England. Nicholas
6:38
mom and dad got him some oz kick goalposts. So basically, for those
6:42
of you at home who don't know what AFL is, basically it's our version
6:46
of football at the version of yeah, and our goals are two big sticks
6:51
and two small ones on the outside and these ones have the bases at the
6:55
other basics so you can set them up wherever you want so you can practice
6:58
this goal kicking. You kick it between the big sticks. You can it's
7:00
six points, you get it between a big stick and a little stick,
7:01
you get one point. Think it's the only sport in the world where you
7:03
get a point for missing ball. Sport anyway, But so he participation ribbon.
7:09
He gets these posts right, and we take him out and three of
7:12
the four posts are broken. The clips the pins inside of snapped, And
7:15
I was like, what the rebel sport? What are you doing to me?
7:18
Rare ball? So I called him up. I said, can I
7:20
bring it in? Replace it? Yeah? Sure, no worries, you
7:23
can replace it. So go in there, pick it up, bring it
7:25
back. He was like shatty because he's like, oh my god, I
7:27
get to play footy. Is this one of your few interactions with the retail
7:30
outfit where things actually went according to plant? So no, listen. So
7:33
I go in there and they let me swap it. I get home and
7:38
two of them are broken. At this point, I'm thinking and Alliott is
7:42
so devastated because he just wants to play footy with these with these devastating I'm
7:46
just hearing the story. Now I went in there and she goes walking off
7:49
of you a refund or I can have them sent to your house, right,
7:54
and a new set, and if those ones don't work, coming and
7:55
we'll give you We'll just give you a full refund. So she goes,
7:57
you can you can give you a refund, or we can get one more
7:59
step. Our stores run of nane of them, right, Okay, might
8:01
cold a bit one more try. Just as we're about to record today,
8:05
the new box has arrived. So you will find out on next week's show
8:09
whether these ones are fucking broken as well. And they are. I'm going
8:13
to not namely shame Rebel Sport, but the product I'm not gonna name shame
8:16
them yet. But if this one's broken as well, and the problem is
8:20
I walked out the second time, went onto the website, looked at reviews.
8:22
There's one review, one star. Now what it says, brought these
8:26
for my son. The pins were snapped on the inside. Brought it back
8:30
to the store. Rebel Sport were great, gave me a refund, gave
8:33
me a replacement that was also broken. I was like, no, we
8:37
don't have a problem with Rebel Sport. No, only they are doing their
8:39
job right here. The manufacturer of these posts is asleep at the wheel.
8:45
And you would think by the brand that it would be the top range one.
8:48
So we'll find out next week's show whether this place gets named and shamed.
8:52
Is it called where the Best Posts? No? No, it's basically
8:56
when you think of who produces footballs af footballs Oh it's legit. Yeah yeah.
9:03

your entire not just the Simpsons stuff, your entire range. I am not

not Dan. Why can I tell you I'm not Dando. I can get
12:58
some of your wants, So I'm trying to try to be more like Dander.
13:01
My favorite but favorite moments of eternal mins of the Simpson mind, there
13:05
were a few. I haven't written any, but I will say just from
13:09
memory, I really like off the top of that Dyslexiaugh, man, I
13:15
know it's making fun of people with dyslexia, but I thought it was quite
13:18
funny. I think for me to put my tinfoil hand on, we need
13:22
to get a lot less sensitive. Is why have broken Ourselves's broken up?
13:28
Yeah, there's there's a lot that goes into that broken up. They haven't
13:33
broken up. They've canceled their tour. They have canceled the tour. They're
13:35
going to not do any creative enterprises for the immediate future. But they know
13:39
why they had to do that, because every venue said we don't want to
13:41
have you guys here. That is correct. Yes, there are there are
13:45
insurance issues. Yeah, so that's why they've had to cancer the tour because
13:48
there was no where to play anymore. Indeed, I look, there was
13:50
a knee jerk reaction on my part. It did feel like Jack Black was
13:52
throwing Carl Gas under the bus. There's probably there is always more to it.
13:56
There is always at the end of the day, though, Jack Black
13:58
needs I know, he's going to look after his buddies, but he'slso going
14:01
to protect his own brand and himself. He doesn't want to be attached to
14:03
this. He's a big brand now, he's Kung Free Panda, but he's
14:07
also a bouncer exactly. He needs. You don't want to be losing that
14:09
Mario money, mate, No one wants to lose Mario. No, I
14:11
mean Kyle Gas or Mario money. He doesn't need Maria money, but it's
14:16
Mario money. Kyle Gas said something he should not have said. I think
14:22
we're doing a lot of bad faith readings here. I mean, are you
14:28
honestly thinking that Kyle Gass is advocating for the assassination of Donald Try? Of
14:31
course he's not. But you don't make jokes at that. Don't make jokes
14:35
like that. You just don't do it. You don't do it, or
14:37
you don't do it in this current, you don't do it on that platform.
14:45
I don't know. I mean today's is the it happened, happen some
14:48
days prior, or a little, a little, a lot reverent. What
14:52
would you have said? If I don't want to get too political, but
14:56
just what would you have said if a pro Trump, a Republican supporter musician
15:01
made the same joke, if the assassination was of Biden, you'd call them
15:07
a fucking idiot, probably call him a If Kanne came out and said,
15:11
next time, don't miss Biden, what would you say, that's not cool?
15:16
Same thing, I guess, But I wouldn't be calling for his cancelation
15:22
or anything like that. I think a lot of people would be. Well,
15:28
anyway, nothing about that. But what your favorite moment from the episode?
15:31
Oh yeah, we're talking about favorite moments, yes, not favorite moments
15:33
from recent history. What did I enjoy? I liked when Wigan was asking,
15:41
well, there was the encounter with Wigham and Homer at the bar asking
15:46
some questions all this, and then on the way out, Wigham said,
15:50
okay, well who was Jack the Ripper? And Homer says was what the
15:54
Queen's private surgeon. Yeah, yeah, I just love it. The end.
15:56
Wow, I thought that was just an We're seeing so many it's truth.
16:02
It's like a legend or something. I think it's become one of those
16:04
printed legend things where you know, enough people say it becomes truth. Yeah,
16:07
there's been enough people sort of talking about it and thinking, oh,
16:12
well, no, that that that theory actually holds water. Yeah that.
16:15
Oh, it's got to be someone, you know, who had real clout
16:18
and who would have benefit from cover up. I don't think police work back
16:22
in the late eighteen hundreds in you know, one of the seedier sections of
16:27
London, a pretty easy gig, it would have been all that great,
16:30
I think. I don't think they had Sherlock on the case back then.
16:33
I don't think they had any rules though. They could just do what they
16:36
want the cops. The cops, Yeah, probably, I think the gig
16:40
would have been sweeter. Is like, there's no social media, there's no
16:41
people pulling their phones out, feeling it was just ah, that guy fell
16:45
over. You know, I personally think that any old smoke could have gotten
16:48
away with five terrible murders. Yeah, I don't think it, but that's
16:53
that's neither he yes, Yeah. What I did like was just the nice
16:57
closer. Wow. I thought that was got because we've seen so many gags
17:00
on The Simpsons recently where and some in this episode we've explained it, then
17:06
explained it some more, and I was like, I don't think we needed
17:10
that, and I'll get to that in the moment. But I've found the
17:12
trend in season nineteen of The Simpsons is the we're going to list things so
17:18
driving past stores and we're going to read it all the signs here. It
17:21
was the ingredients of the forget Me shot. Yes, but at least the
17:25
ingredients of the forget Me shot were it ramped up as it went. Yeah,
17:30
but no pointless again, it was just the same joke, the same
17:34
setup, speaking of trivia, oh trivia. Well, but I had more
17:37
favorite things, okay, the more favorite things Okay. I enjoyed the shout
17:42
out to the nineteen ninety seven motion picture of the game where Homer has his
17:48
big fall in ads on something soft. Wait a minute, what and yeah,
17:52
I thought that was I enjoyed that a whole lot. Two good gags
17:56
on the bridge, good Bye Cruel World, and then Goodbye cruel World.
18:00
Ad Middlely, it should have just been good bye crueler World. That would
18:02
have worked fine. You should have just said goodbye crueler World. Had it
18:06
make no sense and then had the truck driving Yeah, I Helma and also
18:11
I'm not a bad troll gag involving Pattig and Selma. I thought that was
18:15
good, although that doesn't really make sense. I know it's a slight little
18:18
nitpick, but we had the joke of oh, yeah, we were pushing
18:23
off because we thought you can land on the boat. Blah blah blah.
18:26
They push him off, he lands on the boat. Then how are they
18:27
on the boat? Maybe they jumped after him. Okay, you're picking knits.
18:34
I'm trying to knit the pick. Yes, I'm just basically, that's
18:38
not a big deal. Of all the things that have been wrong with season
18:41
nineteen, that's not one of That is certainly not one of them. Anything
18:42
else you enjoyed or just want to do some t This is just some trivia,
18:45
and we'll get into it while we'll do the review of the episode.
18:47
I reckon fine, next question, you there eating the beast, all right?
18:52
My first question for you is what are the ingredients of the forget Me
18:55
shot. Okay, I know there was triple sex, quadruple seck, the
18:59
red part of that toothpaste aquafresh, aquafresh. And also the answer to one
19:04
of my well, yeah, the answer to my question. What was the
19:08
venom in the forget Me shot? It was from the Louisiana the bottom moth.
19:14
There's something that I missed before the quad the triple sect though, there
19:15
was a splash of yoga slow gin slow gins looe gin dunk from a dog's
19:22
eye. Absolute pickle as well, absolute pickle. Yeah, not ginger and
19:26
pickle. No, not ginger and pickle at all. Yes, to our
19:29
supporters on pagion, like I did that your next question, okay, I'm
19:33
not going to ask about the louis the Louisian lobottom moth anymo, I'd be
19:37
silly. It would just be silly to do so. It would be like
19:40
I forgot that this thing even existed. Buffoonery not sanctioned here at full.
19:42
Have I sent you the I found a great sanctioned buffoonery not sanctioned meme.
19:48
No, I'm going to send to you right now. Okay, then,
19:49
but the rest of a question and the mean time, I'm going to ask
19:52
you a question. What year did Grandpa Simpson have a horse to his tax?
19:56
And that's my next question. This nineteen ninety eight, nineteen NINETYFLT.
20:00
We're that like, you know, they're saying back in the day, and
20:02
it's nineteen ninety eight. It's oh, that's right, it's that is nearly
20:06
thirty years ago. Yeah, Oh, what was I watching recently? And
20:11
as a nineteen ninety I was we're talking about DWN periscope, Nicolas, I
20:12
don't think I've ever seen damn perisco I'm like, yeah. I was like,
20:15
you're talking about the icon of Kelsey Grammar submarine comedy. She's never starring
20:18
Rob Schneider, Yeah, exactly. And Jim Carrey's former wife, speaking of
20:22
Jim Carrey, Lauren Holly, Yeah, yeah, coach star a dumb and
20:25
Dumber exactly. What a lady. She's in the Adventures of Ford Fairlane.
20:29
We're talking about Dapasca. I said, I think it's like twenty years ago.
20:30
I was like ninety six, yes, or like twenty years ago.
20:33
She goes, you realize that's twenty eight years ago, and I went,
20:36
oh, wow, did you go? I was like, ah, I
20:41
never stopped having those moments where that for you. Obviously, the eighties will
20:45
always just feel like twenty years ago, right, oh yeah, yeah,
20:48
but they're more like forty years Someone said to me, you know, Ave
20:52
Levin. I'm like, oh, yeah, I haven't come up like fifteen
20:53
twenty years ago. No, No, it's like, oh man, yeah,
20:56
I've got a forty year school versary coming up this year for not not
21:02
even for my not for my graduation, but for another year. Okay,
21:04
but it's like, oh my god, it was forty years ago, and
21:08
it honestly feels like yesterday. Jorsanly came out fifty years ago. I came
21:12
out more than fifty. Where's my where's my celebration? I see a bit
21:18
later, But yeah, that was that was my question to you. All
21:21
right, what is the suicide Bridge? I thought it was a good gag
21:23
here named after who oh it's former governor? It was it Cleveland, Chester
21:30
Chester else suicide yes? Correct? Hey what does what does nerds stand for?
21:34
When was that in the episode? Frank mentions it? Ah, I
21:37
was not listening to that part. Well, it's according to him, it's
21:41
an acronym for not even remotely dorky. Oh okay, then all right,
21:45
now I believe it's time we get our beers out. Well, how about
21:48
I give you one more question right then? Do it? Okay? Then
21:51
I don't know if you'll get this. There might be a pretty tough one.
21:53
When Homer is having his memories, there is a bit where he is
21:59
worrying a T shirt from a particular program. Do you remember which program?
22:04
No, it's not a TV program? What is? It's the witness Relocation
22:08
program. Ah. Then I did like all of the speaking of like the
22:14
flashbacks, I did like all the we're wearing these different suits? Yes,
22:17
And so that's that's a play on a YouTube video and a YouTube videoles.
22:21
No one takes a picture of himself every day or something for six days or
22:23
something. Yeah, which was the first was the first time someone had really
22:26
done something like that on the internet. Yeah? Yeah. It was like,
22:27
Wow, magic things with cameras and video and that that music, what's
22:32
the music called from that clip? I looked it up and then I forgot
22:37
every Day by Karlie Commando. So that is like the perfect tune for that
22:41
kind of video, don't you think, I think someone It just sums up
22:44
life in general. Oh, life just goes by like that, like that.
22:48
We're not going to get too moreland about no no, about the ongoing
22:51
passage of time. And it's crazy to think though, like Alliott's six now
22:55
where I think up until five, they still feel like little kids. But
22:59
now that he's six, six just feels older. It doesn't feel like a
23:03
little kid anymore. You know. I had to say it. But the
23:04
cat's in the cradle Man Silver spoone little boy Blue in the end, the
23:10
moon, the man in the moon chatman man. So I was speaking about
23:15
getting the beers Thatt before, because time we talked about the stone cutters.
23:26
That's right, it's the very very important people who do we always start off
23:29
with first with the stone coats? Davis, Well, we zip that little
23:32
pointer right on down to the letter G. That's a line from the great
23:34
serial killer movie Man Hunter. By the way, Katy g k G.
23:40
Is that person not a man Hunter? Maybe she is? Who knows?
23:44
Maybe a man kty G very generously hands over. What are we calling us?
23:52
Is it a gray nurse? Gray nurse? I'm talking cash. Oh,
23:57
I have no idea, you know how we will assign various fruits vegetables
24:04
and other things too. Yeah, like a pineapple is a fifty dollars,
24:07
what's the robster is a twenty? It was green for the hundreds? What
24:11
would it be? I thought I thought it was one hundred. I thought
24:14
it was gray, like it was a gray nurse. No, it's green.
24:17
You sure dollar ode undred? You don't pay me when the last time
24:22
we saw a hundred dollars? One hundred dollars, one hundred dollars in Australia.
24:26
Let's have a look. That's green what they call the gray nurse?
24:32
Then maybe five hundred. Well, there's a gray nurse on it. It
24:34
looks like maybe could be a picture of it is a picture of it.
24:37
She's gray, and then she's old and she could be maybe a nurse,
24:41
so that might be it. That'd be a sponge bed. This is all
24:45
distracting from the fact that Katie g Yeah, donates one hundred dollars to your
24:51
pals. Yeah, guy and Dan Dough every month. I'll be keeping those
24:53
lights on, lights on, Yes, Katy Journing and also a man reser,
25:00
man Elliott j O'Neill, and a man Zach Pruitt. And then there's
25:03
a whole bunch of other names other people. Dan has got a written down.
25:07
I should be able to them off the top of my head, but
25:10
I just said four, and I'm struggling with the head. I forgot Jordan

supporters of ours on Patreon for forfing a discount. I'm extremely grateful. Dana's
25:52
slowly less grateful, always grateful, always always someone say eternally great, eternally
25:56
grateful. So let's get into a review of the eternally meanshine of the Simpson
26:00
mind. That's a very silky segue there, mister Dannel. Then. So
26:04
the production code of this episode was kb F zero two Original December sixteen,
26:08
two thousand and seven, Written by Jay Stuart Burns, directed by Chuck Sheets.
26:12
Chuck Sheets, good name. I tend to do that after a big
26:15
night on the on the urbs. What's that, Chuck Sheet? They're just
26:19
no good for anybody after that shortboard gag was the capital of Montana is not
26:23
Hannah, and the cash here was just the repeat of the one where it's
26:26
just so basically they killed ninety seconds we thought before the episode started. Here
26:32
they did full intro and that extended cash gag. I feel like this is
26:37
an episode where you probably could have found time for more content. I think
26:40
so didn't really need filler. You didn't know and the whole weird I think
26:45
it's like, I don't know, you're explaining things too much to us these
26:48
days, Simpsons. So the episode kicks off with its Christmas time obviously,
26:53
is it Christmas time? Certainly seems it feels like it's wintertime. It's wintertime.
26:57
Yeah, I think I think this is a Christmas episode. That's not
27:00
actually that hasn't Christmas elements in it? Yeah? Because at that start music
27:06
is Christmas dirt? Is it? Slab? Was Winter Wonderland? Isn't it?
27:11
Is it wins ring? Are you listening the land? I don't know
27:15
if it is just a winter wonder Land? They actually do they is it
27:21
the actual music? Dir? Dirt dir? But is that the was it
27:30
not? Maybe it's not? Maybe, Maybe it's just my mind was playing
27:33
tricks on me. You just want to jump ahead six months and go to
27:34
Christmas. I love Christmas. We watched a Christmas movie the other day and
27:37
Nicholas like, can we watch Christas movies? Is it Christmas movie? It's
27:42
for life, not just for christ? No, it was what was it?
27:47
I'm of a Christmas Carl of course, yes, because we can't watch
27:51
this one. It's not Christmas not motherfucker. You watch it whenever you want
27:52
to watch it. What do we have these about to say? People have
27:57
elliots in the riot here? But then you're sort of came out with that
28:00
rejoinder. I'm like, actually he's got a point. But people have these
28:03
sort of unwritten laws to themselves where they go, you can't listen to Christmas
28:07
songs and watch Christmas movies a Christmas time, of course you can't. Why
28:10
can't you? You can't have hot gross buns all year round? Why not?
28:15
Because then them unless you're stock are you? Would you be inclined to
28:19
stock up on like hot gross buns and having many times you want to freeze
28:22
them? You have to freeze them. I'm not a hot cross buns really
28:26
kind of guy, Nikola, that's how gross buns? Question of mine.
28:32
You're hot gross buns. I'm good at making them. Oh okay, I
28:37
didn't know what you were talking about. So the blimp here, Oh no,
28:41
as he's going down, you've got scratted here and I reference. Yeah.
28:44
People really like those ice age movies. Huh yeah, the first one.
28:48
It's kind of like the Shrek franchise where the first couple were good and
28:52
then they made they you kept making those things? Are the Shrek four?
28:56
I sage? I believe there's five coming up on the fight the fifth three?
29:00
Yeah, and then as we mentioned on South Like, I'm excited for
29:02
it because I feel like it's gonna go back to its roots and forget that
29:03
three or four never happened. Indeed, ever happened, I should say yes.
29:07
But he gets attacked here, Paul scrat. That was like a he
29:10
was a thing for a while, wasn't he scraped getting the start of all
29:12
the movies. He just wants to bust that nut. He just wants to
29:15
bust that nut. Get that acorn. Yeah, but he gets attacked by
29:18
Willie speaking of nuts. And then but then will he gets stacked by various
29:22
her scrats. Yeah, then we get Lindsay Nagel. Here she drives off.
29:26
I like that. It wasn't just a random person. It was just
29:29
it was somebody. Didn't have to be anyone important, just it was somebody
29:30
that we know well, as we said, you know Simpson, the springfield
29:33
is full of characters that we've come to know and love and identified it is.
29:36
Indeed, she drives off, which causes the snow pile behind it to
29:40
melt, and in his pile is Homer. And he wakes up and he's
29:44
hung over and no more drinking. He arrives home at six am, and
29:47
nobody is there. Where's Marge? Hey? Kids? Have you seen your
29:52
mother? Were yourself? Then he says, maybe it's time a family bath.
30:00
Really weird joke. Yes, I don't know about the family bath idea.
30:03
I don't if we're having family baths with ten year olds and something,
30:08
no, no, no, no, no no. If daddy's kids listening,
30:14
kids watching, if daddy, if your dadd's asking you to getting the
30:17
bath with him, or somebody, call someone you trust. Yes, but
30:22
the dog attacks him as well, which we find at the end because he
30:25
doesn't feed him, walk him, or take him out for a week.
30:26
It's true, it's all dog wants in life. Would we grew to be
30:30
a dog to be fed and to go outside and shiit? Just that's it.
30:33
It's all ones. I suppose one two is not bad for me.
30:37
He goes to Moe's here, Homer, he says, you know what's going
30:41
on here? Why where is everybody? And Mo says no, Actually,
30:45
I think he just walks in and says, was I here last night?
30:47
And he guess, yeah, you were. You wanted to forget something.
30:48
And I don't think we really properly touched on the story of this episode really
30:52
where I did like the way that each sort of plot unraveled and made more
30:57
sense as the episode went on. I thought structure this was a really well
31:00
told story. Very yes, yeah, I'm one. I agree with you.
31:03
I think it had a really good fat very yes, very much,
31:06
so yes, okay, very much. But I'm happy with very yes,
31:10
very yes, very yes. I just cut out the middle of man exactly.
31:11
Do need it? Very yes, very yes. But the structure is
31:19
good. The structure is I like a good mystery. And I thought this
31:22
was because at times, like when he thinks Marge's cheating, you know,
31:26
she's not going to be cheating. You know, there's going to be more
31:29
to it than that. It's not who done? It is like why happened?
31:33
Yeah, yes, let's make it, make this stuff seemed out?
31:37
Yeah, why is going on? So he explains to forget Me shot,
31:40
and he puts the video one where he explains the process, and then he
31:42
pauses it and I remember this the ugly faces. I couldn't tell you what
31:47
episode it was from with all the ugly faces, but obviously this one here
31:51
and crusty and bursting. He says he wants to Forget Me shot as well,
31:55
because yes, he thought he was going to do a Don Rickles about
31:57
Arabs. He said, Mel Gibson abad me, yeah, when this was
32:00
coming out at the time when mel was saying things he shouldn't be saying.
32:04
Indeed, I think Mexican was the one race that he didn't offense. But
32:06
Wigham then says that there was a domestic dispute at the Simpsons house of the
32:08
night prior, and we get the first little flashback vision of Homer here and
32:13
it's we're gonna talking to Marge. She got a black eye, she says,
32:15
cause an Irish kid. Oh yeah, yeah, said We're get offended
32:19
left and right? Mm hmm. What gives Simpson giving your wife an Irish
32:22
kiss? No, it were it was my father. I walked into a
32:28
door. Walked into a door. Huh. That is the lamest excuse I
32:32
ever All right, door, you're coming downtown. Have you ever walked into
32:37
a door? Yes? I have, actually yeah, because it's usually the
32:40
bathroom door, because Nichola sort of leaves it half open, or ye's bathroom
32:45
door, and then as I'm walking out of the toilet, I just sort
32:47
of just turn around walked straight into it. Yeah, because it's always enough,
32:51
it's always open enough for me to get in. But then when I
32:52
turn around, it's like I take a wide turn and go boom straight into
32:55
the side of it. This sounds like a you problem, right, But
32:59
when I start walking to a door and walk into like the physical flat side
33:01
of the door, it's the edge of the door, much like Wickham does
33:04
here. Oh yes, I think it's always walking to the edge of the
33:07
door, as I mean, I've walked into back doors before the glass windows.
33:09
Elliott did an absolute beauty at a friend's house about two or three.
33:12
So he was just running full power, I'm surprising, go through the thing.
33:15
He just the house shock. It felt like good God. Yeah,
33:17
and he's and he's at that age now where he gets embarrassed, so it
33:22
wasn't necessarily hurt. But everyone turned and looked at him, and that hurt
33:25
him more of course. Yeah, it was like the embarrassment of everyone's now
33:29
looking at me. Emotional pain far far more scarring physical pain. Holy shit,
33:35
can it be or what? But yes, and William's walking to the
33:37
door, and Wigham reveals here in present time that it was Flanners who called
33:40
it. In the jackpagade that we discussed earlier as well, Flanner says that
33:45
he had to call him because he heard a hubbabub and as a Christian,
33:47
he always assumes the worst. There was time for another memory, and it's
33:52
Marge saying stop Homeber, please please stop, and something happens owl my eye.
33:55
So Homer here thinks that, holy shit, did I hit Marge?
33:59
And it's kind of dark. It's a little bit dark. I mean,
34:01
you know it's not going to be the case, as you said, Yes,
34:04
we know that that's not even the case. And Homer himself is even
34:07
just oh appalled that this could even be on the table, could even be
34:13
a possibility, even if he's got a skinful of whatever and crusty. He's
34:16
getting beaten up like a pinata by not just Mexicans, a Costa Ecan as
34:22
well, yes, like I'm supposed don't know so at the retirement castle.
34:24
Now Home's going to visit Grandpa and he just wants to get out of there
34:28
because it got the high school glee Cup. They're pretending to not hate the
34:30
place, and they're singing whatever song of his can't remember, Oh what a
34:35
night, what a knight? That's right, really really badly, indeed very
34:39
yes, badly, but more half heartedly than anything else, which is even
34:43
worse. You know that, Can I come to Lady was there as well.
34:45
She was, Yeah, she's been drawn to more backgrounds Now and Scrape
34:49
says, you eat our cookies, but you won't look at us. But
34:51
then we cut to them both a krusty burger and Grandpa basically says, here
34:53
he knows a doctor who can help you get your memories back. Homer says,
34:57
how can I ever repay you? You can punch that orderly that's been
34:59
sipping my juice. He punches the wrong guy. Actually, the guy what
35:02
is He saved his life. So it turns out the doctor is just Frank.
35:06
Okay, sure, And he's got these new devices at how people remember
35:09
their their past and their best memory of their favorite memories. And they've got
35:13
all the old people there, We've got the old Jewish guy remembering his first
35:15
Christmas with a great Chinese meal. They're really trafficking in a lot of stereot
35:21
so. By the way, Homer is very good at a job that I
35:24
would really love to have, which is naming stuff. I mean the fact
35:29
that he comes up with the names like what was it the the Deja Viewmaster?
35:32
I thought that was pretty great. And also remembrance of things fast not
35:37
bad. Homer, You're pretty good at this. Yes, the remember is
35:40
not as good. No, no, but there's just another way to them
35:44
for them to do their their classic season nineteen list things. But it was
35:47
it was a rule, I'm not putting it down and saying you're doing it
35:51
a lot. It sounds like it sounds like you're putting it down, But
35:53
this one was a rule of three's more than anything else. Homer is now
35:58
in his memory bubble. A bit wacky when you think about it, that
36:00
Frank's got this device that can actually help you go into your memory. And
36:04
that's true. It's actually a bit silly, I guess, but whatever.
36:07
This is the Simpson we're talking about it. But so he's got this nice
36:09
memory here of with the kids the snow and they're steering through everyone's sculptures and
36:15
ruining their day, which a dick move, but you can buy into this
36:17
family doing that. That feels like classic. It feels like early Simptons stuff.
36:22
It really does. Yeah, the Simpsons go to the snow in season
36:24
two, and this is what they do in the opening act. Yeah,
36:27
and that even someone like Lisa, who's normally a little up tight and quite
36:30
pious and all that was, would get into the fun of it, because
36:32
it looks like they're all like one of them is that I don't know where
36:35
that structure of the word love is. I think it might be in Philadelphia
36:37
or something, but not that France or Paris. Oh, I don't know,
36:43
fancy smanchy stuff. Yes, yeah, but it just seems like one
36:45
of those Oh look at what I don't know, you'd be happy to knock
36:49
that shit over. But then we get the cool vision of all the past
36:52
episodes. I like this when he's going through almost like the Millennium Falcon hyper
36:54
speed, hipped up speed, almost hyper vision hype speed, and all the
37:00
all the images of just previous episodes. I like when it feels breaking the
37:04
fourth wall, but it felt like an homage. It was. This was
37:07
a more visually dynamic episode that we've had for a while. I think.
37:10
Yeah, and a cust ton Chuck sheets him arriving at home and he hears
37:15
that sounds like couch springs grooving to the bit of love. But if you
37:19
arrived home and you heard that kind of sound and be like, hmm,
37:22
what's going on here? Well, yeah, I mean, well, let's
37:24
say I rocked up the Lovely Luise's place, and I heard that. I'll
37:27
be like, what's going on because I've heard it at my place? Like
37:29
someone's broken planning your surprise button? Well that's true. Yeah. He walks
37:32
in and what seems like Marge's cheating on top of his TV guide of all
37:37
things, and he needs help working out who is this person? What am
37:39
we going to do here? How can I figure ot who it is?
37:40
And he bark, but only smarter he gets Lisa, So he goes back,
37:44
we had a weird gag about synergy commercial lost on me. Yeah,
37:47
yeah, I imagine that what makes sense to our American friends? Probably?
37:51
He then takes Bart too when he was ten, because Bart was seething,
37:53
kicks but and he does then twenty year old home. It also kicks his
37:57
butt as well. Then Homer starts choking him in the bubble, which results
38:00
in him destroying memories, and he destroys the memory of his first kiss with
38:02
Margeally gets a replacement, a replacement with the pooh do you think they did
38:07
that gag? So that Homer doesn't remember? So because I can't recall it's
38:10
the way we weren't, I believe it was called that felt like a retcon
38:15
of sorts. Didn't it work? It's like they always loved each other.
38:19
Do you think this was their way of sort of going, this is why
38:22
they'll never remember He'll never remember it. I think it's a big stretch trying
38:25
to introduce Cannon into this episode. What is it a bubble? I don't
38:30
think that's gonna happen. It takes the kids to go see the scene where
38:32
Marge sees somewhat cheating because they say, we're just representations of your kids.
38:36
We're not really gonna take us there. When it scar us, he gets
38:38
out of the bubble, but he can't see the face. He's trying to
38:40
grab the face but just can't do it. Have you ever had a dream
38:44
like that where you just want to see something but you just can't quite get
38:46
there? Oh? Yeah, absolutely, Like why can't I reach this?
38:49
Why I've had the teeth falling out dream? Have you had that one of
38:52
those ones? I've never had that. I've had a couple of times.
38:53
It means you're not getting enough sleep when you' stressed out. Yeah, the
38:57
one I have the most is about to take the stage in a play and
39:00
don't know the lines, don't know anything really. Yeah, I'm not sure
39:02
exactly what that's about. That there's a common meaning for it, I'm sure
39:06
because a lot of people have had that dream. But that's that's the one,
39:10
not the one recurring one I have. But I have it often enough
39:15
that the no I think about it and I remember it. It haunts me.
39:20
It haunts me. But Lisa tries to explain having your brain to work,
39:24
you know, with all this technical stuff. Basles just treat the same
39:27
way we treat to tell it to hit the van thing. So they jump
39:30
up and down, causing them to have a blood nose in the real world.
39:31
And then it's revered that it's toff Man the murder of my children with
39:37
the reason for my children. Stop, hom I please, I'm just giving
39:42
into your wife. She is gonna be sort tomorrow. No, I mean,
39:46
quits machinesy is I'm done. You've maybe realized that, you know,
39:50
my life is not worth living. And then he goes to suicide bridge and
39:52
we get the goodbye and crawl the world gag. Then Patty and Summer arrived.
39:57
As you were mentioned earlier, trolls joked quite good and normally earned the
40:00
bridge. Yeah, and they push him off, and I thought, that's
40:02
really horrible. But there's got to be a reason. Like this episode,
40:05
obviously there's reasons for things. At the end, they kind of spoil it
40:08
where they go, oh yeah, yeah, sure we didn't. But I
40:10
thought, maybe that's just also there. You could also say that they were
40:14
just being silly as well, because what you'd like to think that Patty and
40:17
Somewhere's characters wouldn't push Home off a bridge. It's a bit much, it
40:22
is, isn't. That's there's I don't like my brother in law, and
40:27
there's I'm murdering my brother in law. It's a very heightened kind of circumstances,
40:31
right, Yeah, I mean it depends only, I guess the overall
40:36
tone of the episode as well. I mean, one gets the feeling watching
40:38
this it's almost like an anything goes kind of a scenario where it doesn't necessarily
40:45
we're not played by normal rules, so excessive behavior or extreme behavior can be
40:51
i don't know, sort of washed away by like nothing's really real in this
40:55
one. Yeah, But then he gets pushed off obviously by Patty and Somewhere.
40:59
We get the transition of his life flushing before his eyes, which is
41:01
the six years a photo or death six years clip parody, which probably would
41:06
have felt relevant when this episode first aired, and now it feels like a
41:08
nice bit of sort of time capsule stuck does. Well. Yeah, I
41:10
mean I don't think you really sort of get much stuff like that on well.
41:15
I don't spend any time on TikTok. Maybe they do it on there.
41:16
I don't think people keep many photos anymore. They take photos, get
41:20
a new phone and just getting rid of discard. I think people just discarb
41:22
memories just like that now a lot more, don't you think, Oh my
41:25
god? Maybe yeah, because people go on my phone's full and need some
41:28
space, I'll just delete memories. And it's like, what the monic.
41:31
I always copy everything off my phone onto a hard drive first, because you
41:35
filmed that memory for a reason. You wanted to keep it, So why
41:37
are you deleting it so you can film fucking Kanye West at a concert?
41:42
You know, I never get the whole film on a concert. It's gonna
41:45
be on YouTube. Yeah. Just enjoy the moment. Enjoy your subjective experience
41:50
or your enjoy your objective experience of this subjective moment. That's what I'm saying
41:53
to you. Marge reveals that it's actually a surprise party she's planning for Homer,
41:58
and now he's happy. All the different lines, just like, what
42:01
does he say that the mother of my children and the reasons of my children.
42:06
Yes, Duff is sponsoring with their new Duff Champagne, which is the
42:08
beer of champagne. Yeah, and this is where she gets the black eye.
42:10
It's actually the cork. No, don't have her, don't do it.
42:13
It's home work out. Yeah, got a little excited and popped his
42:16
cork a bit earlier. Yeah. And then duff Man gives her the ice
42:21
pack. I'm giving it to your wife. She's gonna be sore tomorrow.
42:23
And this is where Homer comes back to the real word. Thank god,
42:25
I realized all this before I did something really stupid. He's falling, but
42:29
he lands on the boat, which has it an air bag. What does
42:31
he land on? Yeah, it looks like one of those big stuntman bags.
42:35
Yeah. Yeah. And then everyone's having a great time. It ticks
42:37
over eleven for the extra hour. Yeah sure, yeah, I can't lend
42:42
you reveal here that that's what that's what he wanted to forget. He went
42:45
to Mo's he wanted to forget the surprise party that was It's not even it's
42:49
not even twist no, but it's just a nice swerve at the end.
42:51
It's it's obvious. When you think about it, it's like, oh,
42:53
yeah, that's a sort of working out. Well, fellows, If you
42:57
got anything you want to say to hole my dad, he'll never remember.
43:00
Say it now. Blue pants make it look fat. I'd never load your
43:02
kids' names. Your I'm kemped. It is obvious you're bald, Your signs
43:07
make noise. I find your small heads attractive. I've spitten every drink I
43:10
ever served you bottom's up. Hmmm. The only problem is I'm sure to
43:16
retain some image of coming home and finding duff Man, no doubt. Misconstrue
43:22
that as him placing a cuckolds horns upon my bro and that will make me
43:27
want to jump off a the love of God, make sure the party boat
43:30
has a moon bones. Okay, then we cut back to Homer and what
43:35
were some of those things? Was the blue pants make it look fat.
43:37
I think he's car thinks he's hands less attractive or something. Yeah, I
43:40
don't know. Again, that's just a reason to list things, listing things
43:43
is it is fun in day Niicola loves lists, shopping list, this chop
43:46
list. I'm like, I do so many to do lists, but then
43:50
I never do anything to do list or all you do is make to do
43:52
lists. That's correct, that's what you do to do. Make it to
43:55
do list, Yes, cross it off. How then basically explains the story
44:00
the episode and at the end is quick, make sure that the party boat
44:02
has a moon bounce. A moon bounce is what it is. Yeah,
44:05
because he knew that he would end up trying to jump off a bridge because
44:07
of everything happened. Then he says, but why did Marge lie? Because
44:10
you want beg them to find out? He brings Sarah. I don't care.
44:15
Sarah's one of those characters that's always been in the show, but we
44:17
don't really know much about it. No, the only when you say,
44:21
Sarah, the only thing the thing I really think of is Clanty. Here
44:23
was a remote. That's all I remember. Oh, thanky, Sarah.
44:29
I get Superintendent Chummers on the phone. But yeah, so they went invited
44:35
Patty and someone did they mean it? They did? They say they didn't.
44:37
Who knows? And then he says what the dog attack me because you
44:40
don't feed it? Whatnot? And then Duffman sucks up his name my best
44:44
friend Homer since distus my secret gme, and Homer says to March, I
44:49
don't want to have a drink because this is a memory that I want to
44:51
remember forever, and it says the end question mark and an odd ending to
44:54
have in a mid season episode. The end question mark. Yeah, I
44:59
was like, I I understand it, ol Geen thought it could have been
45:01
the finale, but I don't think it would have worked as finale. And
45:05
b it's a weird ending to a mid season episode. The official Dando and
45:08
Guy position from Forefinger Discount. We disagree with al Jean on all accounts.
45:19
Mister Gene, you have lost the thing of discount vote, not completely certainly
45:23
as far as this guest. By the way, just closed out with a
45:25
very nice song by an odd name called bad Finger that was also my nickname
45:30
in high school. It really wasn't but good Day out to Day, which
45:36
other was a lovely song. Now, speaking of l Jean, he was
45:37
spotted to a tweet I put out Now I put out a tweet recently.
45:40
I wish had told me this before I threw al Gene under the bus we've
45:44
put out. I was laying in bed the other night watching Simpsons on Disney
45:47
Plus our friends at Disney Plus. And I'm not the only one that's thought
45:51
this, but from DAYDA I've been saying, I wish just to encapsulate that
45:55
feeling of the uncertainty in the eOne. I don't know what episode is going
45:59
to be coming up on Channel ten. I don't have to go through and
46:00
pick and choose and scroll through be giving that I'm just gonna scroll forever and
46:04
never actually end up picking something, right. I just want to hit a
46:07
randomized button. You throw it an episode out and I'll just watch it,
46:09
just like the Good Old Days. Put on Channel ten. You know what
46:12
episode it is, right, Disney Plus. When they had to respond,
46:15
it went crazy, over a million views on Twitter. This this screen,
46:20
this image that I put up. God said, I really wish Disney Plus,
46:22
tad them would have a randomized button for the shows, and everyone's like,
46:24
not just the Simpsons, for every show. Every streaming service should have
46:28
a randomized button for shows that aren't serialized. Right. So I'm watching Big
46:31
Bang Theory, I'm watching X files and I'm watching whatever shows. I just
46:35
want to randomize button friends on Netflix. Just make it happen. Why is
46:37
this not a thing? Right? So Algeaem responded, that's a great idea,
46:42
and I was like, see the guy runs the Simpsons, it's a
46:44
great idea as well. Right, lad Bible took this and they did their
46:47
classic we're going to take someone's image and not really give them the credit,
46:51
right. I was like, Simpsons fans are demanding this magage. You change
46:55
to Disney Plus and you know what they called us in their little articles,
46:59
Lad Bible. Twitter user five finger discount Twitter user Twitter user five finger discount.
47:09
Not only did you steal my fucking bit, you style my image,
47:13
you couldn't even get my fucking name right, and you didn't even tag me
47:15
in it. These are words are not used too often. Use my fucking
47:21
photo in your main image, didn't tag me? Called me? Twitter user
47:24
called our podcast that's been going for ten years, one of the only sinces
47:30
the podcast when I first started, one of the longest running Simpsons podcasts week
47:32
on a week to week basis, we're a Twitter user five finger discount.
47:37
I wasn't happy. I wasn't happy you have let down the good name of
47:39
lad Bible. It takes a lot to get me angry. I was angry.
47:44
Believe me, I'm working hard. Fix my fucking name up and tagus
47:47
do some tagging. Do the right thing, lad Bible. We see with
47:54
quality contact like that exactly ten years as a winner, like I know,
48:01
Mindy still like I was like, oh cool, they do want to think
48:05
about me. But when they get your name wrong, they don't like link
48:07
to your page. It's like you're just You're just you're getting the hype and
48:10
making all about yourself. It is poor internet etiquette. I mean, people
48:14
listening at home right now, they go, will you post other people's memes
48:15
on your page? That's fine. We always credit them correctly attribution. It's
48:21
important if they and if we take someone's product or whatever and we're putting a
48:25
picture of it up, we always link to their page anyway. Make sure
48:31
you credit right people. Yes, ran over. I didn't think I was
48:36
gonna rant this episode, but I did. But eternal move shot of the
48:37
Simpson mind I would say the best episode of the season so far. I
48:40
was pretty impressive. It's a different it's a different episode. It felt none
48:45
felt evergreen, but it felt non canon. Non canon. Yeah, yeah,
48:50
what's go what if you had season? What's what's the next episode?
48:52
Oh god, it's that e Plu Rubus Wigham. I can't remember too much,
48:57
but I remember it's apparently he goes for president or something. Okay,
48:59
Well doesn't sound good. I don't think it does at all. Simpsons Season
49:02
nineteen, what have we had so far? Let's make let's just see if
49:06
this is the best one so far? What have we got here? We've
49:09
scored back to episode one, so let's yeah, your name so he loves
49:14
to finally dose Nay the Homer of Seville, Nay. Midnight. I liked
49:16
Midnight Towboy, that had your man. Fuck. There's something about Mary Dylan
49:22
Matt Dylan. Yeah, I don't know why. The cage bird sings now?
49:24
That was okay. Chrissy doesn't moder little off of Millie was al right.
49:29
I had a weird ending husband and knives. Yeah. Funeral re Fiend
49:31
definitely the best episode of the season. When you're dealing with a whole lot
49:34
of men. Didn't rely on to something that's is actually pretty good. It
49:37
didn't need a guest star, just need fun format Simpson stuff. Yes,
49:42
all right, so next episode of four Finger Discount from season nineteen, we
49:45
shall be reviewing e Pluribus Wigham thank you guys for all of his sport At
49:49
four Finger Discount. Don't forget, we're gonna be doing our monthly mailbag at
49:52
the final Friday of every month. So if you want to send a question
49:53
in it's mailbag at four finger Discount dot com dot au. You're on.
49:59
You're on kind of a so I don't want to stop you, and you
50:00
may stopped me. You may well have something different in mind, but it
50:05
seems like you're racing towards the finish. No really, it sounds like the
50:09
stuff you say at the very end of the episode. Yeah, but we're
50:13
not going to do I was playing a trick on you. Well you did,
50:16
but you also didn't because I saw it and I had to respond to
50:20
it because I know you're a smart guy, and I know you've got everything.
50:23
I know you've got your eyes dotted and your teas crossed. As a
50:27
callback to when earlier, when I kept saying let's move on, You're like,
50:30
oh, I've got more trivia, I got my favorite moments. It
50:31
was a call back to that moment. Friend. Yeah, okay, we
50:36
haven't even done what have you learned yet? That's true what I was doing,
50:39
and we haven't done you name. I know, but I know the
50:43
rhythm of the show, and I know your particular rhythms, and I felt
50:45
like, let's steps a whole lot of stuffonds you got very confused. You
50:52
can get touched with Ma Bake before we get this scat dot com dot you,
50:54
but before we do it that, before we go to Davis. We've
50:58
got some things, didn't we certainly did. We've got to do what did
51:01
you learn from this episode? And we also have to do the guy Davis
51:05
new names challenge? We do what do we learn? What did we learn
51:08
from this episode? Mister Davis. Look, when you've given the opportunity to
51:13
drop some racial slurs, split the difference, do it? Don Rickles on
51:15
Mexicans? Exactly what I've learned that probably the least appealing kiss would somewhat be
51:22
an Irish one. It sounds like right, yes, doesn't sound like fun
51:25
at all. No, I haven't heard referred to as an Irish kiss before
51:30
that. I mean, have you ever heard of the Glasgow kiss? Or
51:31
is it the Liverpool kiss. That's a headbut okay, yeah, it's just
51:35
that's violence. It's yes forward, your names will be all right, it's
51:43
time for the Guy Davis New Name Championship. Are you excited? No?
51:46
I'm just confused. Oh okay, well we current leader board stance at this,
51:51
mister Davis. In first position, we have Jared Hornby on eleven points.
51:53
In second position we have Adam Wollhouse on eight, and in third position
51:57
we have a two way tie, Phil Hawkins and Cayl Muldoon, both on
52:01
seven. I like your commitment to the bit that you're just not giving our
52:05
man Hawkins that middle initial back until he earns it. Yep, all right,
52:09
new names. Huh that's right, guy, that's right, new nas.
52:14
One pint goes there. Best we forget. He's climbing further away.
52:20
It's Jared Hornby now on twelve points. Oh my god, only on twelve
52:24
makes him three clear of our men. Adam and second shoot one four clear,
52:29
four clear. Okay, yeah, he's on eight. Adam will Houses
52:31
on eight. Okay, Well, let's see what happens when I give two
52:34
points two dotal recall dortle recall is Adam Wolhouse, so he's now too clear
52:40
of Adam wal House. Adam's now on ten. It is important that you
52:45
remember, folks, we are doing these blind. Yeah. I give Dan
52:49
to the name I know. I give Dando my names, he gives me
52:52
back the Okay, yep, yep, yep. That's all fine. But
52:55
I don't know any names. I don't know anything like that. Just happens
53:00
the way it happens, and so it's going to happen. Then I'm going
53:04
to give three points two memento. It's a newbie, it's a newby.
53:10
Who is it? It is Andrew Swan, Sweanty swanny Man. This is
53:15
the first time he's on the leader board this year. Well done, Andrew.
53:16

Liddle board now stands Jared Hornby still in first on twelve, still in second,
