  Mister Bradman, you're a huge hit. Really, how why it is the
• 0:03
  web world? Wow? I can't. We want to offer you your old
• 0:08
  job back with a fifty increase. Hmm. Thanks to close your eyes for
• 0:15
  two seconds. One till held out as long as that car. Four finger
• 0:22
  discount dude, Welcome to fourfing are Discount where. This week we are going
• 0:41
  to be reviewing the final episode of season eighteen. I can't believe we got
• 0:45
  all the way through. We're here to review. You can't always get what
• 0:49
  you want. I don't know. You can't always say what you want.
• 0:53
  Oh yeah, I'm just Laddie brain. We just established this, I said
• 0:57
  to Guy off the air, because Easter weekend just went by. I said,
• 0:59
  I think I had a good Easter. I can't quite remember, though,
• 1:02
  I remember little drips and drabs. Daddy Brain, I just lack a
• 1:04
  sleep. Just I don't know what it is these days. But I just
• 1:07
  can't think I wholly understand where you're coming from. By the way, my
• 1:10
  name is Guy, also known as God's Little Belly Acre, and yes,
• 1:15
  I'm feeling much the same way. We are recording this on a Wednesday morning.
• 1:19
  Easter is only a few days behind us, Yet neither Dan dandel war.
• 1:23
  Dude, don't do it. Dandy continued, It's the new Star Wars
• 1:27
  series called Dan Door. I may watch this. You would definitely watch it
• 1:34
  if it was a bad Dan do. It's basically about a Star Wars father
• 1:37
  trying to wrangle his kids and keep control of his But we are three days
• 1:42
  past the Easter Sunday, the Easter weekend, and yeah, neither of us
• 1:47
  can really remember what we did. Dano has an excuse. He brought together
• 1:52
  the Dan Doo clan, had a lot of Easter egg hunting, just a
• 1:55
  lot of, you know, good wholesome family time. I'm pretty sure the
• 1:57
  Lovely Louise and I just crashed on the couch. You said, you're watching
• 2:00
  World's Craziest Airports. Yeah, add night swim. Now I want to discuss
• 2:04
  the night swim. That's what I really want to discuss. We're discussing night
• 2:06
  swimming. I don't know how it came up, but it was basically,
• 2:08
  a guy buys a house with a haunted pool, and I said, how
• 2:10
  do you establish that your pool is haunted? What has to happened for this
• 2:14
  to occur? I am being very remiss in my duties as film critic.
• 2:20
  You can boot me off the movie guys for this. I'm pretty sure I
• 2:22
  checked out, like maybe half an hour or forty minutes into it, because
• 2:23
  like, how much can you do with a haunted swimming pool? How does
• 2:27
  it kill people? Spoiler alert? But I'm pretty sure it drowns them or
• 2:31
  I think it acts in a way. It's like, this was my idea,
• 2:34
  and if it turned out to be something better or worse than this,
• 2:37
  well either I oh the film an apology or I'm just going to shape my
• 2:39
  fist at it. I was like, I think the pool might be possessed
• 2:43
  by some spirit, whereby if you sacrifice something to the pool, it'll give
• 2:47
  you something back. So if you like drowned your kid or something, it'd
• 2:52
  be like, here's a hot crust bunt. I would do it for two
• 2:58
  hot Did you go one with the hot gross? I didn't eat one this
• 3:02
  entire season. I've never been huge and oaster when I was maybe late teens,
• 3:07
  like the chocolate chip ones, but they stopped doing the cabri one,
• 3:10
  so they just do the home brand chocolate now, and I'm like it doesn't
• 3:14
  taste very good. They used to do Cabriary style ones, which cost a
• 3:16
  couple of dollars extra, but the cabri style ones or the Cabrity drops inside
• 3:19
  the chocolate drops were much better. Well, they still have those of woolies,
• 3:23
  don't they do they believe because yeah, lose kids went wild for those,
• 3:28
  and they had the Cabrian chocolate ones. Yeah, they were eating them
• 3:30
  for like a very long time up until a Christmas time they do. I
• 3:36
  mean, it's become a running joke on social media that, you know,
• 3:38
  it's become a running joke on social media that if you a day or so
• 3:44
  after Christmas, like time for Easter and people sort of get up at arms
• 3:49
  about it. I'm like, hot gross buns are out there, man.
• 3:51
  Yeah, but it's weird though where they do they still put hot cross buns
• 3:54
  out throughout the year and just go heavy with them at Easter season or is
• 3:58
  it a case of they go right Easter is over, no one's gonna want
• 4:00
  to et crosunchs. I'm pretty sure if it's the middle of July and it's
• 4:02
  cold and there's hot cross buns there to purchase, people are going to buy
• 4:04
  them. Surely they must still bake them. I was at the supermarket last
• 4:10
  night, and they had a whole heap out. I think it was the
• 4:13
  flavor that no one liked, which is apple cinnamon, which I like,
• 4:15
  Oh, really, you're the weird guy. Though you're the guy. It's
• 4:16
  the pickle. You didn't the pickle, but you have all the You like
• 4:18
  the Yeah, I do, Indeed, I like the chaser. Would you
• 4:23
  say Louise is a variant on a million? That's a better way of putting
• 4:28
  it. Yeah, she's she's red, she's one of one, she's the
• 4:31
  gold card, she's the golden snitch, the golden ticket, and that would
• 4:35
  make me Harry Potter. But you can't always say what you wanted me.
• 4:41
  We should wrap a few things up just quickly. Watch this movie called Night
• 4:44
  Swim. Yes, man, my opinion was, if I bought a house
• 4:47
  with a swim haunted swimm pool, I would simply go to the beach.
• 4:53
  They would put that on the on the least though may or may not be
• 4:56
  haunted swim at risk, at risk did not swim a full stomach? Yes,
• 5:00
  or you know, if I fady go for spook. You can't always
• 5:06
  say what you want. What did you think of this as a season finale.
• 5:10
  My first note is it took half the episode before we got to the
• 5:14
  story. Of half half the episode. Look, it was nine minutes and
• 5:18
  forty five seconds or some before Kent said something that you shouldn't said on the
• 5:21
  end. I'm thinking it took nine and a half minutes to get to the
• 5:26
  story. What are we doing here? I know what are we doing?
• 5:28
  This really felt assembled from leftover pieces left around lying around the writer's room floor.
• 5:33
  I liked the Tracy Alman short at the start celebrate the twentieth anniversary,
• 5:38
  and it proves that they're still out there and available in HD. Can we
• 5:41
  get those things released? Please? If you're watching Simpson's HQ and you've got
• 5:45
  access to release those Simpson shorts from the Almond days, do it please.
• 5:47
  I want to watch them. I don't want to watch shitty bootleg versions on
• 5:49
  you too want to watch them, no good quality, So please release them.
• 5:54
  Also, if you're watching Simpsons HQ, put us on the payroll.
• 5:56
  Yeah, do it? Why not? We won't do anything. We just
• 5:58
  want to be on the payroll. That's a better say. It's the American
• 6:02
  dream, It's the world wide dream, Yes it is. Indeed, how
• 6:05
  big is How big is the Web? How wide is the web? World?
• 6:09
  World? Yes, so I liked I liked the short at the start
• 6:12
  to celebrate in the twenty anniversary, right, but it just went on that
• 6:15
  bit where Marge's trying to get to the school. I was thinking, are
• 6:17
  we going to get to the end of this or what? Okay, I
• 6:21
  know that's a parody of something. Yes, I'm putting a minute het.
• 6:24
  Yeah, it's a tribute to the Coen Brothers movie Raising Arizona, Nicholas Cage
• 6:29
  and Holy Hunter. Yes, because apparently Cage rust of run somewhere or something.
• 6:31
  Yeah, And it's using that very point of view shot all the way
• 6:35
  through, and the banjo music is directly from Raising Aerage just that one shot
• 6:40
  or was the whole movie from his point of view? Oh no, no,
• 6:42
  not the whole movie. Okay, there are sequences in it that are
• 6:45
  very much like that. So, and it's, by the way, one
• 6:47
  of the great American comedies in nineteen eighties. Fantastic movie. Love Raising Arizona.
• 6:53
  Okay, Yeah, I highly recommend you watching. Oh, we'll check
• 6:55
  that out. I wonder IF's available on Disney Plus. It may well be
• 6:58
  Disney Plus. You notice have changed the color scheme now of Disney Plus it's
• 7:01
  not blue anymore. It's almost like an aqua. Has it gone teal?
• 7:04
  Yes, it has become tea independence exactly. Yeah, and the political reference
• 7:09
  of no one else. I think the sound is a bit different now at
• 7:11
  the start. And well, I noticed that the thumbnails are changing because I'm
• 7:14
  getting the dancing Lisa now as opposed to them in Sungloves. They always do
• 7:17
  that, but this is like changing you have. Everything has their own sound
• 7:19
  when you turn them on, like Netflix. Do Doom mentioned that Netflix change
• 7:24
  that it's a slight change, but it throws me off now when I open
• 7:29
  up the app, Dan, I was looking genuinely discombobulated, but I wasn't
• 7:32
  impressed. I don't like things changing. Don't put existing clocks, just lee
• 7:36
  things as they are. I don't want to were's the clouds on to shape
• 7:39
  my fists? You know? Just but I you well and truly have steer
• 7:43
  into middle age. You were talking about it the other day about something you
• 7:46
  mentioned on on maybe in the Facebook page, about something oh generation X.
• 7:49
  It started when I started started noticing haircuts and going, that's just ridiculous.
• 7:54
  That's that was where's the start. Yeah, I was like, uh,
• 7:57
  I'm making fun of I'm annoyed at people's hair. I'm getting old. Yeah,
• 8:01
  oh yeah, were you watching? Were you watching the football? That's
• 8:03
  when I first started happening, and watching all the younger footballs with their shaved,
• 8:07
  obnoxious mullets, and I'm thinking, what are you doing? Yeah,
• 8:09
  just shaving this living part around the temples, and then seeing little kids doing
• 8:13
  it as well, And I look at their dads and their dad's had the
• 8:16
  same haircut, and I'm thinking, what are you doing to your kids?
• 8:18
  This is a systemic child abuse that the vicious circle or cycle of ongoing abuse
• 8:24
  is just continuing to happen. Well, I will say though, I was
• 8:28
  very impressed that there there's about three or four kids in an Elliott's classroom who
• 8:31
  have just shit haircuts. They're just shitty haircuts. One's got a rattail.
• 8:35
  You think, what are you doing? Like, They're clearly not good for
• 8:37
  these kids at all. Right, Clearly I see it as the parent is
• 8:41
  putting the haircut that they wish they could do onto the child and living by
• 8:43
  charrousip. But anyway, it was Ferdoy Day last week and these kids rocked
• 8:46
  up with all nice haircuts, and I was like, there's a haircut.
• 8:50
  You can set your watch too. Thank goodness, you wake up to yourselves,
• 8:52
  because that kid with a thirty centimeter rattail. It's not good, not
• 8:56
  good at all. I some times think going bald maybe one of the best
• 9:03
  things that happened to Guy as he went into middle age, because I'm fairly
• 9:07
  weak willed, and I seek the approval of the crowd, and I probably
• 9:11
  would have got an inappropriate haircut for a man of my advanced years. You
• 9:15
  and I know someone about you know, forty ye ish that does that sometimes.
• 9:18
  Oh yeah, they redacted. What are you doing? How we get
• 9:33
  to talking about haircut? Me getting old? Yeah, that's right. I
• 9:35
  don't know. Just but I can't remember raising Arizona for something to do with
• 9:41
  that. It could well be, well, I think it may well be
• 9:45
  on Disney Plus, which Disney plus changing the thing, which changing? But
• 9:48
  so yes, okay, so do you you appreciated it? Did you?
• 9:52
  That's that thing? I just thought it was going on and on and on
• 9:54
  it did. Go listens to the show. Will know that when I rent
• 10:01
  my handwritten notes, hold them on to the camera, going, hold them
• 10:05
  up, make me worse something one day good will be. I've got my
• 10:09
  old book of notes them. Yeah, that's got written on it f ft
• 10:13
  nets. We should scan that and just put it on the Patreon just for
• 10:16
  I thought you're about to say we should scan that, by which I mean
• 10:18
  we would like hold an auction for charity. Please will pay you to take
• 10:26
  them, take take these off our hands, will put the money in the
• 10:30
  charity of your of our choice. So by which I made my bank account
• 10:35
  in your notes. So you're you're bringing I have a green highlighted, which
• 10:39
  means it's good. Raise the gazonn a shout out with the exclamation park next
• 10:43
  letter. Okay, this is going on a bit long. Yeah, just
• 10:46
  when it felt like there was a three or four moments in this episode where
• 10:52
  it just dragged and it felt like I was padding this ship out. Yeah,
• 10:54
  yeah, but certainly that first halt man, Yeah, what was even
• 10:58
  the story? I kind of remember now that the other dentists. That's right,
• 11:03
  Well, they're playing pictionary with pat mate. They've got to get to
• 11:07
  the dentist. Then there's a whole thing at the dentist and Ludacris is there,
• 11:11
  and how does it how does hom Ice went the way home, and
• 11:16
  that's right. And when I said, I was like, we went through
• 11:18
  all that ship but hoping to onto smart life for buying your fucking ice cream.
• 11:22
  That's one big exciting incident. Creepers. Man, what is happening?
• 11:28
  Oh man? Speaking of what is happening, let's talk about Menace Tooth Society.
• 11:33
  Yes, so that movie apparently had mixed reviews. Menace to Society,
• 11:41
  Yes, is that true? I believe so. Yeah. I don't think
• 11:43
  I've ever actually seen Menace too. So when Lisa says this thing has mixed
• 11:48
  messages, apparently that's what a lot of the critics said the film. Okay,
• 11:50
  I can't really work out what it's trying to be. I think it
• 11:54
  was. I'm trying to remember exactly when it came out. I think it's
• 11:56
  early ninety and it was in the world of Boys in the Hood. So
• 12:01
  you've got a whole wake of hood movies, African American hood movies, and
• 12:05
  this one was done by the Hughes brothers, who were actually pretty good filmmakers
• 12:09
  and did a really great movie after this one called Dead Presidents. But I
• 12:11
  think a lot of people going, well, is this telling it like it
• 12:16
  is about how these in the hood or is it just you know, neo
• 12:20
  blax'sploitation. And I was like, I don't care, man, it's cool,
• 12:24
  but this but this version Menace tooth Society is as your dance? What
• 12:31
  was it? Baby got back? What bacteria? Bacteria? Yeah, the
• 12:35
  wordplay was the was fantastic. I couldn't tell if they were taking the piss
• 12:41
  out of pandering public service announcements because there were so many that just employed hip
• 12:46
  hop tropes to get down with the kids. Yeah, what are the kids
• 12:50
  into? What are they down with? They're down with hip hops. Let's
• 12:52
  talk about brushing your teeth in the in in that vernacular. But I don't
• 12:58
  know. This had Hank's voice all over it, and these days that's kind
• 13:03
  of a red flag. Yeah, in some way it does. Yeah,
• 13:07
  but when they let's bust up these whities and I was like, oh,
• 13:09
  okay, okay, I found it pretty funny. And the fact that they
• 13:15
  actually got ludicrous into to do it. But please was his real name?
• 13:20
  I think that's one of my questions. Okay, Chris, only his name
• 13:22
  is Chris, Chris Bridges, Chris Bridges. Okay, It's one thing I
• 13:26
  love about wrestlers, about hip hop guys who make the transition from one thing
• 13:31
  to the other. I mean, for a while, when when The Rock
• 13:35
  started making movies, he was build as the Rock, and then he was
• 13:37
  Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Now it's just Dwayne Johnson and The Rock again.
• 13:41
  Yeah, okay, Well, once he's backing a movie, and it's just
• 13:46
  because he owns the Rock. He wasn't because basically Vincaman didn't like him using
• 13:50
  the term the Rock because he owned that trademark. So the reason The Rock
• 13:54
  one of the things he agreed to come back, was only if he could
• 13:56
  get the rights to the trademark of the Rock, which he now owns.
• 14:00
  Yeah, we say this on pretty much every episode, but we're loving the
• 14:03
  Rocks. Heel turned. But also, you know, when Luda was started
• 14:09
  making movies, he was built as Ludicrous and I think, yeah, he's
• 14:11
  a picture of the Fast and Furious movies. I think in the in the
• 14:15
  credits there, he's Chris Ludicrous bridges a lot of the more transitioning the notes
• 14:18
  you had our cool j Yeah, I think went by James Todd Smith his
• 14:24
  actual okay Christian name. Did he even in Deep Impact? I think there's
• 14:31
  only in one movie that he went. But it was like James Tod Smith
• 14:33
  okay, cool ja okayone was like nobody wants James Todd Smith in a movie.
• 14:39
  Everyone wants what about Coolier? He was in something? Oh Coolier was
• 14:41
  in here? Yeah. Yeah, But I'm trying to think of how many
• 14:45
  actually I thought, but he is the name is on my birth certificate,
• 14:48
  or if I want to really transition and become a proper star. I don't
• 14:52
  think many did, did they? Not? Many? Yeah? The rock
• 14:56
  went to Dwayne, but I mean Triple H goes by Triple H. Actually
• 15:00
  Paul Lavec because he's the boss now he's the Paul of Ec. I'm wondering
• 15:03
  if he has actually pulled Levec in any movies. He might movies he wouldn't
• 15:07
  have been. No, but if in the wrestling now he's referred to as
• 15:09
  Paul Yeah, okay, yeah. Interesting. But the story here also is
• 15:13
  just a what would you call it? Not a satire? I guess of
• 15:16
  just censorship and going to the extreme when someone makes it. A blueprist has
• 15:22
  a swear on the air, it's cancer culture, cancel culture. Yeah,
• 15:24
  it's pre dating cancer culture. Yeah, that was a real thing, and
• 15:28
  it was a definitely a real thing for Fox. I guess this episode doesn't
• 15:30
  really work now because it's pre social media because if you say something now,
• 15:33
  it's available online, right, but no one was watching, which means he
• 15:37
  was essentially getting away. That wasn't until Flanders watched an old tape that he
• 15:41
  then said, look, this needs to be you know, he needs to
• 15:43
  get in trouble for this. So it doesn't really work in this format in
• 15:46
  twenty twenty four. Not quite. It's a look back. That's not bad
• 15:48
  because we can't judge an episode that was relevant in two thousand and seven or
• 15:52
  whatever and say it's not relevant now. It was when it was on an
• 15:56
  air. But I still wasn't sold on the episode. At the end of
• 15:58
  it, I just went, oh, I was all right. And I've
• 16:02
  read so many good reviews online, people saying it's one of the best wides
• 16:04
  of the season. I was very surprised to read that. I just didn't
• 16:07
  do much for me. I don't have to go that far, but I
• 16:10
  think I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but there wasn't enough
• 16:12
  of it, though I think it's certainly less than some of the parts.
• 16:15
  I enjoyed all its parts pieces, but in terms of oh, this doesn't
• 16:19
  really feel like it hangs together all that well. I mean, it's almost
• 16:22
  like it's two episodes. Yeah, twenty two short films about Springfield in a
• 16:26
  way, but it felt like two stories. This is the data more than
• 16:30
  stories. It did exactly, you're right, yeah, but the ending,
• 16:33
  I get the reason is sort of cut off short. That's the sort of
• 16:36
  the gag. But I felt that was also their way of writing themselves out
• 16:38
  of a hole because they rate out of time. Again. Yeah, I
• 16:41
  think it felt like it had more ideas that it wanted to express, that
• 16:45
  an actual story that it wanted to tell. Because the gimmick of Brockmann going
• 16:49
  back at the top of a hat money's offered more money, money doesn't land
• 16:53
  as well because he didn't. It wasn't it never should have been poor,
• 16:59
  but he wasn't sort of going through trouble for too long. It was like
• 17:00
  three minutes of the episode he was down in my luck and I'm making this
• 17:03
  video and we have one scene where two teenagers go, hey, you're doing
• 17:07
  a great job, and in the same scene Lisa's like, oh no,
• 17:11
  you're changing the world. Now you're doing a great thing. He gets off
• 17:14
  of money, he goes back, and I'm thinking it should have been ten
• 17:15
  minutes of him changing his ways and you know, making a difference in the
• 17:21
  world, and then the drop of all more money. That would have had
• 17:22
  more of an impact, in my opinion, than just two minutes. Oh
• 17:26
  yeah, absolutely. It seemed odd that Ken Brockman ended up sleeping on the
• 17:30
  Simpsons couch. Yeah, you need a bridging scene or two, or a
• 17:34
  crisp bridging scene. Why though I know that they they tried to write themselves
• 17:38
  a scene, I'm just concerned he might do this a suicide like suicide.
• 17:42
  I'm thinking that's just that's lazy. It's like we want to keep rock when
• 17:47
  deliver the Simpsons. He would never live on the Simpsons couch. That's an
• 17:49
  escape patch. Yeah, why would he agree to do that. It's just
• 17:52
  it's ridiculous. He's got to mansion. One might even say it's ludicrous.
• 17:57
  That's not the first time you're going to hear that joke today, folks,
• 18:00
  stay tuned. My favorite I feel like you've covered my favorite moment with any
• 18:06
  other favorite moments for you. Well, let's see what I've I got in
• 18:08
  green here raising Arizona shout out. I enjoyed very much, as you know,
• 18:14
  big fan of Arnie Pie in this house, we worship Arnie Pie,
• 18:18
  and very glad to see that you got a promotion. Well that was good
• 18:21
  news. This is the thing though, of that scene. No, I'm
• 18:22
  nitpicking, right, maybe he's just got a lets of the bad taste my
• 18:25
  Methods episode by the way ended and everything. But he says, I'm being
• 18:29
  demoted to weatherman on the weekends. Right, he gets out of his chair
• 18:32
  and starts doing the weather. I'm like, it's not the weekend? What's
• 18:34
  going on here? Yes, there are some parts you don't have to think
• 18:38
  about it too much, or perhaps even shouldn't. You shouldn't. That's the
• 18:41
  thing. Yeah, I know that I would totally watch Landing Strip. It
• 18:45
  seemed like I I merely thought of you when that came on. Yeah,
• 18:49
  I did, like Ken just climb, yeah, close your eyes for two
• 18:52
  seconds, Lisa jumping into the army the stretch, humming, hey, hell
• 18:56
  that as long as I go. I just don't understand. And I've always
• 19:00
  thought that brockmann stick was that he was this guy who just he's over the
• 19:06
  top and he's doing this fake news and he doesn't care at all. He
• 19:08
  has no morals, but he's just like whatever for a quick buck. And
• 19:11
  then he seems to be bothered that they're not talking about it at a hot,
• 19:14
  hot button topic because Home is on the show. And I'm thinking he
• 19:18
  wouldn't care. That's what has been that's almost been his thing up to this
• 19:22
  point. I think it's asking the viewers to do a bit of heavy lifting
• 19:26
  and do a bit of extrapolating. I mean, I've always been of a
• 19:30
  mind that journalists don't really get into journalism, even broadcast journal, news reader
• 19:36
  or anything like that, you know, strictly for a payday. I mean,
• 19:38
  there are far better careers. And I mean if you wire someone who
• 19:41
  can either good evening and welcome to such and such, I mean, yeah,
• 19:45
  you can find ways to monetize that that are probably less onerous than reading
• 19:49
  the news. If you've got a way with language or whatever, go into
• 19:53
  pr it's probably going to pay better. You know. You go into journalism
• 19:56
  because you think, well, I can make a difference in some way,
• 19:59
  or I want to communicate important ideas or relevant information to the general public.
• 20:07
  If you may make a success of it. And also just as you get
• 20:11
  older, it's like, well, like the bills to pay and being the
• 20:14
  independent journalist who's you know, breaking the mark and holding truth to power,
• 20:18
  speaking truth to power or whatever. You can have a solid gold house if
• 20:22
  that's the you won't have a solid gold house with a solid gold toilet.
• 20:23
  And that's what we all aspire to. So yeah, eventually you're gonna sell
• 20:29
  out to some degree. But every once in a while you'll probably go what
• 20:33
  happened to the dream man? I used to have principles and ideals and all
• 20:37
  that kind of stuff. It's like, oh, but solid gold toilet toilet?
• 20:41
  So I did. So I get the feeling that Brockman is probably like
• 20:44
  that. Every once in a while he realizes, oh, wait a minute,
• 20:48
  I'm going to Enivy, the guy who who bought the million diarts cream
• 20:51
  cone. I don't want to dissay there's a very local reference for sorry to
• 20:57
  people who were quite honestly, we could have just had them walking into the
• 21:02
  ice cream store as the start of the episode. You didn't need anything leading
• 21:04
  up to that, none of it. You didn't need anyone, say,
• 21:07
  someone like Tracy Grimshaw. He used to host a show on in a straight
• 21:10
  called The Current Affair. Joyce was she intimidated the shit out of me when
• 21:14
  I was a kid. She was a good journalist, Oh yeah, absolutely,
• 21:17
  and a good presenter as well. But I mean a current affair was
• 21:19
  very much. He has six months. The person next door is not mowing
• 21:26
  their lawn. How does it feel to catch sitting on their doorsteps? To
• 21:30
  be adjacent to the neighbor From here, this is a current affair, maybe
• 21:33
  for the person in the house next door, not for me. So Tracy
• 21:37
  is probably making money hand over for this. But at the same time going
• 21:41
  he used to have integrity, man, So I get where Kent is coming
• 21:44
  from. Here as a boiling point, you think, yeah, And it's
• 21:47
  a nice cynical thing that he realized. I held out my principle as long
• 21:51
  as that good good ching yea. And now a word from our sponsor,
• 21:57
  Yeah, check out my shouldn't we Gavin shre Gilmore too apparently Now is it?
• 22:03
  Is it Christopher McDonald who's saying this? And is anyone else saying this?
• 22:08
  Yeah? Is the Sandman saying See the Samman hasn't said it's not happening.
• 22:12
  Friend of the pod. Yes, can you imagine what Adam Sandler on
• 22:15
  here? Just a whole see we're speaking your language, you're anyway. But
• 22:26
  yeah, I think he is saying that because he's trying to sort of put
• 22:29
  it into the universe. He's manifest because now have enough people say we can't
• 22:33
  wait to see it, the sam is gonna go, ah, fuck,
• 22:37
  well I've got my eleven thousand picture deal with Netflix. Maybe Happy film or
• 22:41
  two could be one. Well, maybe he's just because he's a smart man,
• 22:45
  Adam Sandler, right, and she's a big deal of Netflix obviously.
• 22:47
  Maybe he's just gone, hey McDonald, put it into the universe. Let's
• 22:51
  just see what I see, what happens to people say if they're looking forward
• 22:53
  to it, and because the thing is then he can always go, oh,
• 22:56
  now he's just making it up, you know. By the way,
• 22:57
  speaking happy, you're more, That's what I was going to say. We
• 23:00
  need to send a rest in peace to the late great Joe Flaherty Jackass.
• 23:07
  Jackass a terrific comic actor. He was on sc TV, which is pretty
• 23:12
  the Canadian equivalent for Saturday launching Power the likes of John Candy, Eugene Levy,
• 23:18
  Martin Short, Rick morandas I believe, maybe not Rick Mirannas, but
• 23:23
  certainly a lot of a lot of cool talent came out of that one.
• 23:26
  He was on one of my favorite TV shows of all time, Freaks and
• 23:30
  Geeks, and of course he was on Happy Good One and look in a
• 23:33
  bunch of movies recently recently passed away, love Red Lobster, Love Red Lobster,
• 23:38
  Who among us? So this episode here apparently was originally called the Kent
• 23:42
  State Massacre, but unfortunately the Virginia Tech Massacre happened about a month before it
• 23:47
  went to and the change the title on probably a good thing, even yeah,
• 23:52
  don't do it. Yeah, that worked precisely once, and that was
• 23:56
  for Texas shainswaw Here Massacre. And you immediately just think of things that aren't
• 24:00
  pleasant, you know, that is true, Yes, see, whether it
• 24:03
  be a horror movie or just horrific things happening in real life. So you
• 24:07
  just avoid the word massacre when it comes to comedy. By the time we
• 24:08
  got into that, I was talking about my favorite parts of the episode.
• 24:11
  I think I've wrapped it up. Yeah, there'll probably be more as we
• 24:15
  go through the episode. But Dan, what did you enjoy aout. I'm
• 24:18
  already covid mine. I'm just okay, yeah, not all that bothered.
• 24:21
  Well should we maybe then? One more note here? I want to talk
• 24:25
  about the episode. So the episode was intentionally spoofed the increased fines by the
• 24:29
  FCC in the wake of the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. Oh of cool.
• 24:33
  I can still remember when that happened, and it was huge. It's like,
• 24:37
  how dare she show her nipple on television? And you look back now
• 24:40
  and you go, really, we got an uproar over this. She knows,
• 24:45
  she didn't know. It's like you had a nipple ring on. It
• 24:47
  was pretty obvious. You knew it was gonna happen. I don't think anything
• 24:49
  like that would happen without it. JT was like, could rip her fucking
• 24:52
  shirt off? That is not gonna happen. No, it's not gonna happen.
• 24:56
  In the close up on the boob as it's happening. It was all
• 24:57
  perfectly timed. There's a word we all need to remember in these situations.
• 25:02
  Okay, fape, Yes, keep the dream alive. Still real to me.
• 25:07
  But however, a month before the episode aired, don Imus, I
• 25:10
  want to say, I was suspended and subsequently fired for remarks he made on
• 25:14
  the air about the Rutgers University women's basketball team through events closely paralleling the events
• 25:18
  of this episode. Yes, he Don was a bit of a Howard stern
• 25:23
  ish kind of I think he predated Howard Stern and took it too far.
• 25:27
  Took it a bit too far. Consider himself a bit of a free speech
• 25:32
  warrior. It's like you can't say anything these days, like, well,
• 25:34
  you certainly can't say what you were saying, what without sort of? I
• 25:38
  think it just sexist. I think it was pretty sexist and maybe pretty racist
• 25:41
  as well. Jeep. Yeah, okay, not a good combination. No
• 25:45
  no, no, hopefully never together again. Too great tastes that don't taste
• 25:48
  great, and they're not great taste, horrible taste. It tastes even worse
• 25:52
  together too great taste, Okay when they're by themselves. Guys didn't even real
• 26:03
  racism. Sex isn't together. Oh dear, How appropriate that a guy would
• 26:17
  get canceled on an episode talking about the early movion and you can't always see
• 26:21
  what you want, guy. I just want to recap, because yeah,
• 26:27
  Fox was definitely aware of this. Kind of thing because I believe they got
• 26:32
  so many letters due to married with children as well. There's like twenty years
• 26:36
  earlier though, really marrible children. Maybe child launch in the eighties, okay,
• 26:41
  two thousand and seven. Well Fox has got long memories, but I'm
• 26:45
  pretty sure that well Fox was also twenty years prior to this episode totally moody.
• 26:49
  Yeah, okay, but Fox tended to pride itself though on being a
• 26:53
  little racing and risk game. Yeah, something ribaled Now that's what they base
• 27:00
  their whole network around. But the thing is, it's like, yeah,
• 27:03
  as they point out, they're so right with their news we yet they're putting
• 27:07
  sexy shit. It's like, what's going on here? It doesn't really make
• 27:10
  sense. But your mom's big fox in hiss fan right, Well the Australian
• 27:14
  bod oh Margaret Mary shout out. They're speaking her language an increasingly mind.

  you, mister Davis, is let me get at my notes once again.
• 30:53
  Okay, I've just moved that notepad into a separate window. Fantastic, Here
• 30:57
  we go. It's in Flander's nice pile. One of them is a test
• 31:03
  pattern non Indian. Yep. I can't remember the other thing. I'm seven
• 31:07
  hundred club seven artcod that's right, yes, all right, what's your first
• 31:10
  one? Homer has been a member of the American Apple Source Association since when.
• 31:14
  Oh, I'm gonna say eighty seven, nineteen seventy eight, seventy eight.
• 31:18
  We've got the seven in the eight, right, yeah, the right
• 31:21
  way around. It's a little bit dyslexic, it's all right, yes,
• 31:22
  a little bit. I don't you've joined the name of the movie for me.
• 31:26
  So that was that was my next question. I'll try and find another
• 31:27
  one for you here. Uh who? In the final photo was Kent Brockman
• 31:33
  interviewing, and he's looking at the photos of his career on the wall.
• 31:37
  Oh, damn to be a pretty super nerd to get this. It's not
• 31:41
  R two D two, it's R four D four. It's the one with
• 31:45
  a bad motivator. Yeah, is it is that the one that Uncle I
• 31:51
  was gonna buy one? It shits the bed and it pops its top.
• 31:53
  Just that droid didn't shit the bed, we'd never get Star Wars. I
• 31:56
  know, Ungle Owan, the R two Union has a bad motivator. No
• 32:05
  one got attached against the Palagambu, the Empire's whole you know, defense road
• 32:12
  on that Devoi, on that droid, on that shitty made droid. Yes,
• 32:16
  it just manages to get to Uncle Owen. No, the Skywalker Empire
• 32:20
  wins. I that R two un and I have a lot in common in
• 32:25
  that I also have a bad motivator. So that's R five D four R
• 32:30
  five de four. Yes, apparently it says on the Wook on the wookie
• 32:32
  Pedia. R four d four though is on the or R two d or
• 32:38
  R two dt. I don't know. It says R four d four.
• 32:43
  Was that like the ah, Maybe that's not the Simpsons version of R two
• 32:45
  D two because because R four D four on the Wikipedia page for this is
• 32:50
  hyperlinked but it takes you to R two D two's the sim the Star Wars
• 32:55
  parody, and it's fucking terrible. The one the one jar was initially sell
• 33:00
  Uncle Owen. It's not rounded, it's not a little pointy. It's R
• 33:05
  five d's it's more square. It's R five D four apparently because actually has
• 33:09
  been in Simpson four. It's the gay Roberts and Star Wars. What were
• 33:14
  that met to? The moblu Skywalker episode used the fox Oh yeah, yeah,
• 33:20
  yeah, so it's our f DFA apparently in the Wikipedia page, but
• 33:22
  I don't know. Apparently it doesn't exist. Who knows a lot of the
• 33:25
  glory days of Star Wars action because they actually had like that, Yeah that
• 33:30
  Dray the Bad Unit. Yeah as an action figure. Well what a nicon
• 33:34
  though, Oh yeah, I would rather have that than I do D two.
• 33:37
  I had a lot of action figures of various figures from the Canteen.
• 33:40
  I had Greedo, but I also had the little werewolf guy in the red
• 33:45
  wet suit, the big I would wanted the the one with that have ahead.
• 33:50
  I had the Hammerhead. Yeah, yeah, I don't think I had
• 33:52
  any of the musicians. I love it In E. T. When Spielberg
• 33:54
  just had as as a call to to Lucas because our friends. He goes
• 33:59
  here, Henry Thomas as Elliott, he's a bunch of Star Wars toys.
• 34:01
  Just talk to this et toy. And I just think it's just felt so
• 34:06
  real that scene that you reckon it did. I've got to rewatch et.
• 34:07
  It's been a long time, man, it's fucking great. Good movie.
• 34:10
  Yeah, very very good. Another question from you, and we'll get into
• 34:13
  the review. When Homer boards the airline shuttle, which airline does he say
• 34:17
  or go to the start with B? No? American something? Yes?
• 34:23
  American B? What is it? America north? South, Eastern? What?
• 34:28
  American West? Yes? Okay, is it a real thing? Must
• 34:31
  be? I don't know who knows anyway, I don't tell you what I
• 34:34
  do know when this episode originally aired. Oh, I could give you one
• 34:37
  more question. I'll do it please. I beg you Newshounds Awards. How
• 34:40
  many Emmys did he win? And how many nominations did he get? I
• 34:45
  also shame on me for for one of those, right, No, shame
• 34:50
  on me for assuming those Newshands agenda. It could be they then how many
• 34:55
  Emmys? The idea seven seven, how many nominations eleven, fifteen, fifteen,
• 35:00
  There we Go. So original air date of You Can't Always Say What
• 35:05
  You Want was May twentieth, two thousand and seven, the final episode to
• 35:07
  air before the Simpsons movie came out. Okay in I want to Say July
• 35:12
  of two thousand and seven, I Believe our production coach jab F one five,
• 35:15
  written by Tim Lung and directed by Matthew Nastuck guestar and Ludicrous and Maurice
• 35:21
  la Marsh as the Fox narrator. He's back, He's back, baby.
• 35:23
  He's in a lot of Simpsons episodes these days, isn't he what they go
• 35:27
  to? Good on him? Everyone leads a side hustle they do indeed,
• 35:30
  Yeah, I think does he need a side hustle? Is Maurice Lamash?
• 35:34
  I feel like voice actors though, don't really have side hustles. It's just
• 35:37
  their voices just in everything. They have cameos, they disappear on everything.
• 35:39
  Yeah. But the episode kicks off with the tribute. I say tribute when
• 35:45
  it's just them playing family portrait. The episode from the Tracy Elma showed in
• 35:49
  eighty seven Yeah, twenty years later, celebrating the fact that this is the
• 35:52
  four nth episode, and it's twenty years ago. It's weird. There's one
• 35:54
  line where he goes, watch your mouth's little smart ass, and I was
• 35:57
  like, it's not a bad word, but it just felt feel odd coming
• 36:00
  out of his mouth. Yeah, it's just sort of oh okay, but
• 36:05
  so very nostalgic. I mean, kids, do you even know what that
• 36:07
  means when someone says this is the last picture on the roll? Yeah?
• 36:10
  True, not anymore. They were, those were the days. I mean
• 36:15
  we look back now, look back fondly but terrible. Imagine much, Imagine
• 36:19
  how many memories we missed because we didn't take the right fucking photo. But
• 36:22
  I guess they added to the charm with the actual photo you got, didn't
• 36:24
  it? That is correct? And also you know you've got your brain for
• 36:28
  memories? Yeah, do we need them? Not really, not anymore,
• 36:31
  free of all that ram for something else, yes, but Spinster City apartments
• 36:36
  And for some reason, Maggie and Marge are playing against Patty and somewhere in
• 36:38
  the game of pictionary, and they're doing very very well because they share their
• 36:42
  special bond. And then Maggie notices the time reminds Marge that she has to
• 36:45
  get Bartonley's to the dentist an appointment at three, and I thought, that's
• 36:49
  a weird time to book a dentist appointment when school finishes. I thought,
• 36:52
  at three anyway, Paddy and somewhere then win by four foot. The sweetest
• 36:57
  win there is there is yes, and the car unfortunately won't stay. So
• 37:00
  then we get your favorite moment, Yes, the extended mix raising Arizona shout
• 37:07
  out, Yeah, that's about it. I did some freeze framing here.
• 37:15
  So she knocks over comic book guy on her way to the to the to
• 37:19
  her house, and he's got Zebra Girl, zoid Zilla, and zillionaire comics
• 37:23
  in his books. You have to it's really fast. I free framed a
• 37:25
  lot two or three times just to make sure I got it. She grabs
• 37:29
  some sugar from like as in the squishy from the cookie mark for some sustenance,
• 37:34
  then knocks over snake and then accidentally swaps Maggie for the gun. Has
• 37:37
  that happened in the movie? Stopping over? What is it? He's stealing
• 37:42
  something, isn't he? I read that cagees grab something, he's running off
• 37:45
  with it, or something is stolen a pillow? Something Now it's a bag
• 37:50
  of nappies or a bag of nappies, that's the one. Yes, Nappy's
• 37:52
  wife his kid open. Nicolas Cage and Holly Hannah can not have children.
• 37:57
  Yes, they're still a kid. There was a local millionaire whose wife has
• 38:02
  just given birth to five children. Only Hander who's actually a cops. Yes,
• 38:07
  they got more than a handle, so they kidnapped one and makes so
• 38:13
  are they antiheroes? No? No, it's actually kind of sweet in a
• 38:17
  way. How is it sweet? You have to watch the movie. Okay,
• 38:22
  I'm going to watch this movie now. I didn't realize Cage was doing
• 38:24
  films in the eighties. I'm not gonna lie. I thought he broke out
• 38:27
  in the nineties. Oh no, I had no fucking idea. No,
• 38:30
  okay, it's been around since the early eighties. So do you want to
• 38:32
  watch for the first time? This week's speaking Nicholas Cage Gone on sixty Seconds.
• 38:37
  Oh yeah, I was just went we went in nineties. Actually,
• 38:40
  I know it's two thousand and that film, but my dad loved Nicholas Cage
• 38:44
  growing up. And there's the three films that I've never seen, Gone sixty
• 38:46
  Seconds, eight Millimeter and Snake Eyes I've seen them. So have you watched
• 38:51
  all of those? Now? No, I've only watched one sixty seconds.
• 38:52
  I've got eight millimeters and Snake Eyes to go. Which one should to go
• 38:54
  next? Do you think, uh maybe Snake Eyes Millimeter is yeah a bit
• 39:01
  grimy, isn't. Is it a snuff films? Yes? Yeah, okay,
• 39:05
  I've heard about that one. Yeah, So say, guys, I
• 39:07
  was assuming it's about gambling, more of a conspiracy thrill thriller cool, I'm
• 39:10
  looking for. Nicholas Cage was so good in those films everything. He's the
• 39:16
  perfect case of just crazy but not too crazy. I'm sure. Now I've
• 39:20
  watched Nicholas case Show in a long time. But back in those days,
• 39:23
  oh yeah, that's he was like the peak of action flicks for a while.
• 39:28
  There wasn't he absolutely, and that was really sort of unusual as well.
• 39:31
  I mean it was like a I mean, he was ripped, but
• 39:34
  he wasn't like a Swartzenegger. He was always in really good shape, which
• 39:38
  came across as kind of interesting. I mean, there were he's there are
• 39:42
  a few movies he did in yeah, in the mid eighties where he had
• 39:45
  his shirt. It was like wow, Okay, he's actually in shape.
• 39:47
  But it wasn't until Rock conn Air face off in the in the Midwater Trifector
• 39:54
  in the mid nineties because before then he was a bit of an everyman.
• 40:00
  Now he's trying his hand. He was basically known as as a dramatic actor.
• 40:02
  He won the Oscar just maybe a year or so beforehand for the leading
• 40:06
  Las Vegas. But he's done romantic comedies and all manner of stuff. Yeah,
• 40:10
  and The Family Man, well that was later. Yes, Connais to
• 40:15
  me is still one of my favorite just popcorn action flicks. That's one I've
• 40:19
  got to rewatch as well. I haven't watched that in a very long time.
• 40:20
  It's just so absurd. But like so many characters in that, Cyrus
• 40:23
  the virus that's a matrix nous, isn't. Yeah, there's Cyrus who is
• 40:29
  kind of virus in the matrix Malcovich. What a fucking villain. Yeah,
• 40:36
  But I mean just an incredible cast. Yeah, you know Bing Raims.
• 40:40
  Yeah, bow ship on my window again, isn't it? Of course?
• 40:45
  Yeah, I'm gonna do it. We'm gon watch the movie tonight. I
• 40:47
  don't can do it. Yes, But things that aren't as interesting as Connie,
• 40:52
  We've got this episode to get through. But so she eventually gets home,
• 40:53
  nearly gets run over by mold man in a truck. She steps on
• 40:57
  the heads of the quimby women in the pool. She goes down a manhole
• 41:00
  as rats as gators, as Barney goes through a Chinese New Year prayed,
• 41:04
  I guess. Then the Irish there so Patrick's day couldn't work it out,
• 41:07
  go through a dog park, Helen love Joy gets the one thing, fucking
• 41:10
  is she ever going to get there? What the is going on here?
• 41:14
  I can stretch it out? This is the Dictionary definition of padding. You
• 41:19
  think though, with a story that's so based so much on satire, that
• 41:22
  they would have loved to have stretched that out. But it's I don't know
• 41:25
  how they couldn't, Like, there's so much you could have delved into there,
• 41:29
  but that I guess they just didn't want to. It's weird. Maybe
• 41:31
  they got the word from the movie is nearly out, let's just get on
• 41:36
  with it, or they got the word from the legal department at Fox.
• 41:38
  You can say this, but you can't say that. I'd always say what
• 41:42
  you want. It's sitting in the right Oh, the irony they arrive home,
• 41:49
  and then she says he's gonna be taken to the dentist. Homer thinks
• 41:51
  are gonna be taking dirt back riser in the cemetery. He's also feltful the
• 41:53
  trick went out at the dentist. And I'll assign here, no matter how
• 41:58
  much you brush, you're doing it wrong. They alway tell you're doing it
• 42:00
  wrong. Every days I've been to they tell me a different way. You
• 42:02
  got to brush, this way. You've got to floss. Some say floss,
• 42:05
  some say don't. I just I don't get it. Have you had
• 42:07
  a DNA say don't flast? Had not not what I'm using seeing now.
• 42:10
  The last one used to go, don't floss, it's not good for your
• 42:13
  gums. Never do it. And the one I'm going to now is like,
• 42:15
  if you don't floss, you're an idiot. I get the feeling.
• 42:17
  Flossing incorrectly is probably bad for your gun. Probably, Yeah, doing anything
• 42:21
  correctly is probably not good for you. Right, that's a very good point.
• 42:25
  But Homer is not flossing, and his guns hurt us from the breeze
• 42:29
  touching him, and the kids hear this and get scared. Blah blah,
• 42:31
  blah, basicly joke there. Then they showed Lisa the video on oral hygiene
• 42:37
  menace tooth society. Damn baby bit got bacteria? You want to take it
• 42:43
  to these Why is he? I'm down with old pp I'm going period,
• 42:46
  donal problems, break it down. Ludacrist arrives to save the day. Lisa
• 42:52
  says, this movie has mixed messages. That's ludicrous. No, I just
• 42:57
  thought the cameo outside of the film was really odd, like he's annoyed it.
• 43:01
  They're showing the film outside of the one time that he about it too,
• 43:04
  and just I don't know, just one a little bit too far,
• 43:08
  like just leave it in the film a bit. I guess I just wanted
• 43:12
  to say the film, I'd say the gag that's ludicrous, That's what they
• 43:15
  really wanted to do. But anyway, Bart has then given a new toothbrush.
• 43:20
  He says, you expected to do your job at home for you for
• 43:22
  free. Then he overhears Skinner he's been put under the happy gas and this
• 43:25
  wasn't funny, this was just evil. Yeah, there's nothing funny to this
• 43:30
  legitimate torture. Yeah, I mean, I don't like anything to do with
• 43:35
  dentistry. Barb being a little pranksters one thing, but this is just for
• 43:37
  no reason. This felt like, you know, that's scene in Marathon Man
• 43:40
  where the evil Nazi dentist is trying to get information using evil dentistry and not
• 43:45
  good at all home and then suggests we get some ice cream. Marge then
• 43:49
  pretends to be okay. I thought, this is one of those moments again
• 43:52
  where you're just acknowledging Marge isn't happy anymore, but she's just going along with
• 43:57
  it because she feels like she has to. I'm like, then, don't
• 43:59
  point this out. Well, she has gone to all this effort to wrangle
• 44:02
  everyone to the dentist and all this all this stuff, and then as soon
• 44:07
  as they're out of the dentist's office, well, let's go do the opposite,
• 44:10
  or let's go do something little undo all this good work. So I
• 44:15
  can sort of understand where she's coming from, and just just reffirm for me
• 44:20
  what a waste of time this first fucking six seven minutes was. But they
• 44:23
  get their hostes on a health Kike and then adds all these extra chocolates and
• 44:27
  whatnot on his ice cream purchased a millionth cone decides what's a cup and then
• 44:30
  it goes back to a cone. You're missing one of my favorite lines.
• 44:32
  What is that? What is a fun day? It's a sad day.
• 44:37
  It's fun. Yes, I thought you might like that. But because he's
• 44:40
  bought the millionth cone, he's now on smart line and rather than talk about
• 44:45
  the Middle East, they're going to be talking about Homer's fateful treat as he
• 44:49
  puts it, and then accidentally knocks the coffee onto Brockman and whenever he would
• 44:52
  be actually said, I'm assuming it's the sea bomb when you think hmm,
• 44:58
  it seemed like it went for a while. I'm wondering if he said it
• 45:02
  has twelve letters and starts with M and it's a favorite of Samuel L.
• 45:06
  Jackson's. Yes it is. It's a favorite of many people. Can we
• 45:09
  say that one? Do you reckon? I mean, we tend to blur
• 45:12
  out the sea word, don't we We play the sea word. But you
• 45:14
  can say that m F word. We can say motherfucker. We say fuck
• 45:16
  all the time? What we say fuck all the time? I think say
• 45:20
  mother in front of it just makes his hand cool. Probably want to get
• 45:24
  down how the kids saying fuck? These days to remember the first time I
• 45:30
  heard, and it was probably when I first heard like Eddie Murphy's stand up.
• 45:32
  This was in the early eighties and I was still a kid, but
• 45:35
  I remember I was out. I was just like walking up at the footy
• 45:39
  oval at the end of the street or something, and some bigger kids rode
• 45:43
  past on bikes and I'm pretty sure one of them, hey, motherfucker,
• 45:45
  And I was like, scandal. Ali asked me the other day. He
• 45:53
  goes, it's bloody, a swear word, and I thought, thought,
• 45:57
  it's not a swear word, but you really shouldn't say it's not a good
• 45:59
  word. And Washington what he bloody? And he goes, stop swearing that.
• 46:02
  I was like, I'm not swearing. I get what you're saying.
• 46:06
  You shouldn't say it. I shouldn't say it either, Okay, But Hobby's
• 46:08
  now started saying shit in context. So she fell over here, Sa and
• 46:14
  she goes, shit, Jesus Christ. I'm clearly swearing way too much.
• 46:21
  But that's what happens when you work in a factory for a decade. You
• 46:22
  just That's also what happens when you spend any time in the world any By
• 46:28
  the fuck why but yeah, so Brockman has sworn on TV and everyone's shocked
• 46:36
  by it. Well, well, actually when he leaves, so he makes
• 46:38
  the apology and says he's going to make a donation to a charity about kids
• 46:43
  swearing or something along those lines. Yeah, and then he goes out to
• 46:45
  the street and realize that nobody actually watched it because, as coming Guy puts
• 46:47
  it, nobody watches it on TV anymore. It's on the internet. Farewell,
• 46:52
  danis sur yes, so he thinks his career is safe, but then
• 46:54
  tells him to get on an airport bus and leave me alone. Grandpa was
• 46:59
  annoyed though, because he was watching the TV because he's an old dinosaur.
• 47:00
  Oh, that reminds me that you keep talking because there's something I wanted to
• 47:04
  look up so well to kill time another moment he of killing time. I
• 47:08
  can't believe Kent Bluckman got away with it. Back in my day, TV
• 47:13
  stars couldn't say Booby, Tushy Burp, Fanny Burp, water closet, under
• 47:17
  pinch, dingle dangle, Boston marriage, LBJ, Titty kaka hot Dog,
• 47:23
  or front lumps funny burb. That is a whole new meaning in Australia that
• 47:29
  one probably means in America. What I was curious about was actually what constews
• 47:32
  construes a Boston marriage. Yes, it is actually a According to Boston dot
• 47:39
  Gov, the term Boston marriage refers to a non traditional domestic relationship between two
• 47:45
  middle or upper class women. So basically it's a gay marriage. It lesbian.
• 47:49
  Last yarme as, I can understand why they didn't want you to say
• 47:52
  on TV. Grandpa was growing up whatever, didn't realize that Boston was such
• 47:54
  a hotbed of lady love. Boston. Yes, it is there, we
• 47:59
  go through it, reputation for it. Tell us about it, Mark Boston
• 48:01
  Burgess. So we have the family here all staring at Grandpa when he says
• 48:06
  it, and I'm thinking, yeah, I understand that you're you're dragging time
• 48:09
  out here, but can you just not acknowledge it. It's just it's almost
• 48:13
  like they was saying to the audience, Yeah, we don't know why we
• 48:15
  did that either. It was just such filler, Like it wasn't funny.
• 48:17
  None of these words are really all that funny, really front lumps Maybe No,
• 48:22
  I don't know. Lisa says, the watchdogs will get him, don't
• 48:24
  you worry, but says these kind of people don't exist. It almost felt
• 48:29
  a bit like old men with a gripe this episode, like complaining about,
• 48:35
  Oh, they're trying to sensor what we're doing. How dare you viewers?
• 48:37
  You guys have no lives. It's I just come across a bit, a
• 48:40
  bit of a winge, a little first world problem. Yeah, someway,
• 48:45
  you wouldn't let me tell me saucy joke. Yeah, because the Flanders and
• 48:50
  he's got his naughty and nice pile. Obviously the naughty pile is much bigger,
• 48:53
  certainly is. Yeah, Morley's safe as wearing questionable, questionable pant,
• 48:57
  crestable plate, your questionable faulting his pants. Yeah, that's right. Yes,
• 49:00
  And then he says that realizes that Kent Brockman I said that his least
• 49:05
  favorite word on the public airwaves. And then it got a line here,
• 49:08
  I'm imploring people I never met to pressure a government with better things to do
• 49:10
  to punish a man who meant no harm for something nobody ever saw. And
• 49:14
  I was like, I know that's the joke here, but Flanners would never
• 49:17
  say this. No one would ever say this. This doesn't work for me.
• 49:22
  It feels less religiously motivated than it does politically motivated. And one thing
• 49:31
  we know about Neddy always goes from a position of righteousness, of religious righteousness.
• 49:37
  Now, I know the two often go hand in hand, or seem
• 49:43
  to at least, but Yeah, it didn't really feel right coming out of
• 49:45
  Ned's mouth, and it felt weird having the kids. So I think you
• 49:47
  need a new mummy. It's weird. Now we've got the new support here,
• 49:53
  and apparently Brockman hasn't been given the heads up that he's been fired or
• 49:58
  he's been demoted, because the SEC have the report about him. He's been
• 50:01
  denoted to weekend weatherman. Then he goes and starts doing the weather. Arnie
• 50:05
  Pie starts making fun of him, rights that he stinks, and then any
• 50:08
  Pie takes over the news and announces it, having a different tone of voice
• 50:12
  when he's reading the Yeah. Now, so it got a ten million dollar
• 50:14
  fine coming their way as a result of the swearing. Unfortunately, now their
• 50:17
  dog will not be able to afford the surgery. It's a lazy eye fixed.
• 50:21
  Yeah. Krust is also making some cutbacks, and we've got the voice
• 50:22
  actors here. So I was going to do some research, and I forgot.
• 50:25
  I wonder whether this is when the Simpsons voice actors were complaining that they
• 50:29
  were getting paid enough wow, and rather than it was like they're sort of
• 50:32
  Jabbett saying, rather than pay you more, would just replace you? And
• 50:37
  you really when he can plays voice actors, but you really should. No,
• 50:40
  not unless it's absolutely necessary. Yeah, for reasons that Yeah, it
• 50:45
  makes sense, but especially he signed to he's doing itching scratchy voices. He
• 50:49
  doesn't do a very good job, can't Can we talk? Not fire?
• 50:52
  Am I? No? No? The station stands by its reporters, say,
• 50:57
  what's that powder in your coffee? Is it? No, it's splendor,
• 51:00
  Spare me your slang, push your man, you're fired. Well,
• 51:05
  I mean he didn't break the two pivotal rules. He didn't whip it out.
• 51:07
  That's true. Well, that's yeah, don't wear and don't whip it
• 51:10
  out, which we try to abye by these one of these rules here on
• 51:14
  four thing discount. Yeah, which one do you break? Well, there's
• 51:16
  a reason only seen me from this level up. Well, there's only lens
• 51:22
  wide enough down there, right, he's talking about my stone, talking about
• 51:29
  the stomach. Lindsay Nagel. Then fire fires him for the cocaine. He
• 51:34
  takes all these photos off the wall, and then he gets to walk of
• 51:37
  shame. Everyone's angry at him. It starts raining, his box gets wet,
• 51:39
  and Nelson says, your distinguished career is over. And I thought there's
• 51:43
  not really long to go in his episode, and I feel like there's not
• 51:45
  gonna wrap this up. Yeah, this feels like it should have been the
• 51:49
  end of the first actor. You should have the end of the first act
• 51:51
  should have been Brockman losing his job, right, and the remaining the next
• 51:54
  act should have been him changing his ways. And at the very end,
• 51:59
  boom, he goes back hat and that should have been the end. Well,
• 52:02
  it didn't happen. It did not know. Marge says that, so
• 52:06
  I think it's Homer says he's catched slumpy, and it turns out it's because
• 52:09
  he's sitting okay, Brocklyn Marges offered him to stay there because she thinks he
• 52:13
  could be potentially suicidal. And then we get home. This is so on
• 52:16
  Homer. Liberal media. I think Haveven doesn't know what liberal media is use
• 52:22
  him for it unless he's been brainwashed by one of the few things that he
• 52:28
  reads or sees on TV. Yeah, I mean, we know that Homer
• 52:30
  is easily led, but he couldn't he liberal media. That's not what will
• 52:35
  be talking about. If you're going to make him a puppet for the right
• 52:40
  wing misinformation or misinformation. Yeah, it's laid the ground work a little more.
• 52:45
  I thought Brockmann would have been right wing. I think the fun thing
• 52:49
  to do with Brockman have him not believe in anything. Yeah, that's probably
• 52:52
  a better way to be a Mexican. The mouthpiece the Mexican gays have been
• 52:54
  sneaking to the country and unplugging the brains about our brain dead ladies. He's
• 53:00
  but he wants an eight y ten from Ken Brockman to put on the wall
• 53:04
  of casual acquaintances who have come to stay for a while, Ardie Pooh,
• 53:07
  Krusty, Willie Nelson, Bob Otto, Kang. I want to say which
• 53:09
  I think it's probably the Kingcutors who have slept with Marge that time to have
• 53:13
  baby ideas, Gil and Stampy and who sang a song? What are you
• 53:17
  going to do? Then? Then watching TV and we get the show that
• 53:21
  you would watch what was it? Strip? Lanny strip? Yeah, fifteen
• 53:22
  strippers on an airline, and then we get the Fox News liberal outrage,
• 53:29
  and there's what Lisa points out, how can a Newspepe conservative and have such
• 53:31
  racy shows? Then he put Fox deliberately run shows that will earn huge fins,
• 53:36
  funneled funneled through the secge but republican. I'm just like, oh,
• 53:39
  it's very It's just so obvious, isn't it that there's no sort of there's
• 53:44
  no clever lines here. It's just here's our thoughts and they're just saying it,
• 53:47
  saying what we're all thinking. It's a lazy way of getting your point
• 53:52
  across. Absolutely, it really is. This was probably one of the weakest
• 53:54
  sad eyes the Simpsons have done in a while. But maybe I don't know,
• 53:58
  Maybe it's just me like, do you think I don't think there's It
• 54:00
  wasn't very clever. I think the ideas they were exploring were interesting and certainly
• 54:04
  for the time, but how they went about it was very much what's the
• 54:07
  thing is it? Swartzwelder who says, when I do a first draft,
• 54:10
  I just say, Homer says a joke here, yeah, And I get
• 54:15
  everything down on paper. I get the basic structure down and then you know,
• 54:19
  then I get to rewrite, which is the fun part. Yeah,
• 54:21
  it's like, well they didn't the rewrights, they didn't do it. It's
• 54:23
  all very first draft. But then Lisa and said, I've got a cameras,
• 54:27
  go film, you know, a video. It's kind of like they
• 54:30
  could have been pushing. This is like he could become a viral sensation online
• 54:31
  because he was a dinosaur on TV. He could become an online sensation.
• 54:36
  Well this is what we thought the internet would be when it first. Absolutely.
• 54:38
  Yeah, So Brockman's video about the government news worked together. Good evening,
• 54:43
  Thank you for inviting me into your laps. Friends. That press and
• 54:46
  the government are in bed together in an embrace so intimate and wrong they could
• 54:51
  spown on a twin mattress and still have room for ted couple journalists. You
• 54:54
  still question the reasons for war and expose abuse of power. Now toothless babies.
• 55:00
  They suckle on the sugary teat of misinformation and poop it into the diaper
• 55:05
  we call the six o'clock news. Demand more of your government, demand more
• 55:08
  of your press. Play meet. This is a wake up call. Vote
• 55:16
  out your so called representatives, reject your corporate masters, buy nothing, hug
• 55:22
  your children, love the one you're with. He's getting fans with the with
• 55:27
  the young people. They like his video. Meanwhile, though the Republican Party
• 55:30
  are not fans at all, and apparently Crustian Ziaga a thing. Yeah.
• 55:36
  Well, according to Raini A Wolcastle, yeah, Dracula can't order pieces op
• 55:39
  enough. That's all gone to and it's just yeah, there wasn't much this
• 55:43
  episode never gonna lie. So then yeah, the people give Brockets some credit.
• 55:45
  So he gave him five stars, and they never give anybody five stars?
• 55:49
  Would they millennials? Do you think? I mean no, because they're
• 55:51
  that's what I thought they would have been. But it's hard because this is
• 55:53
  two thousand and seven. Yeah, I guess, yeah, very early millennials,
• 55:58
  because they're not They don't only feel like generation next, do they?
• 56:00
  They don't know? You're right, but this is where you know, how
• 56:04
  wide is the web? How is it? How wide is the web?
• 56:07
  World? Is what she says. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how wide
• 56:08
  is the web? This is literally So Brockman becomes a success and is starting
• 56:14
  to earn the acclaim of people around him, and within like thirty seconds he's
• 56:17
  gone back it's like, what was what a waste of time? He's starting
• 56:21
  to gain respect and credibility as a as a newsman. Well, I reckon
• 56:23
  less than a minute of the episode. And then it's just here's more money,
• 56:27
  fifercent pay increase a least it close your eyes, and he's off thinking
• 56:30
  these are all ideas that could have been stretched out of it. Yeah,
• 56:32
  we didn't need as we didn't need the dentist bit, not for as long
• 56:37
  as we had it. So you definitely cut out the whole bad thing.
• 56:39
  Yeah, Lisa is sad now because there's no room for truth and bravery in
• 56:45
  today's media. And then Homer has some gossip. His hands are shaking and
• 56:50
  as he's saying what it is, they've obviously put over the obviously put over
• 56:52
  the top. Fox has been programming shows that the whole family can enjoy.
• 56:57
  Yeah, they mentioned various shows. Lisa has been dubbed as well. And
• 57:00
  then the truth is and it's the end credits, and that's the end of
• 57:01
  the episode. I will say this was actually one of my favorite moments of
• 57:05
  very good use of the gracie. Hyeah. Yeah, so the ending worked,
• 57:08
  right. I just thought more time than to be dedicated to the actual
• 57:12
  story than the setup. Do you think I would agree with you on that
• 57:15
  point. Yes, I think this would have hit home more that him going
• 57:17
  back would have been more of a point had he'd been built up this all
• 57:23
  his acclaim and all this love from doing the right thing and at the drop
• 57:27
  of had more money. Yes, please, that would have meant more.
• 57:30
  But what are you gonna do. It's the end of the season. You
• 57:31
  had a movie to put out, Yes, exactly right. What do we
• 57:36
  learn bomber mister Davis? What did you learn from the episode that a fun
• 57:39
  day is a Sunday that's fun? Are they always fun? Though? What's
• 57:43
  your favorite kind of Sunday? Chocolate, strawberry? You'd be a strawberry I
• 57:45
  reckon. I have been, on occasion a strawberry guy. Yeah. I
• 57:47
  mean back when I used to frequent McDonald's and every once in a while that
• 57:52
  was saying it's going to take eight minutes to cook you on apple pie.
• 57:54
  Would you like a mcflurry or whatever instead or a Sunday? And I'm like,
• 57:59
  no, I won an apple part. Yeah, that's why I ordered
• 58:02
  it. By the way, eight dollar tenders for eight eight tens, eight
• 58:05
  dollars. Okay, see at the moment, what a deal? What are
• 58:10
  savings? So when they were would you like a Sunday instead, I'm like,
• 58:16
  fine, I'll take it. Yeah, what sort strawberry? Be fine?
• 58:20
  They never mix it anymore, apparently the mcflurries. Really yeah, they
• 58:22
  still have it like this, mix it all through and now it's just like
• 58:27
  a soft serve shit chut on toil. Everyone's in a hurry hurry from it's
• 58:30
  a make hurry rather than mcflurry. I let it takes fifteenth strippers to fly
• 58:35
  plane fourteen to get it up. I want to get it down. From
• 58:42
  this day forward, your names will be all right. It is the final
• 58:45
  edition of the New Name Championship for season eight. Who is going to win?
• 58:50
  I have no idea, no earthly idea. The winner is phili J.
• 58:53
  Hawkins twenty points. He can't possibly lose now because Kyle Muld doing clever
• 58:59
  Kyle is in second position on sixteen points. Actually no, no, no,
• 59:01
  no, no, no, I've I've missed it. Here here we
• 59:05
  go. I apologize. Philip J. Hawkins is on twenty eight points.
• 59:08
  Carle while doing the seconds on seventeen points. He really you can't win this
• 59:15
  and Luke McKay's in third position on sixteen points. Hit me, mister Davis,
• 59:17
  what have we got this week? Okay? Then one point goes to
• 59:22
  don't brock the boat right the book baby, that's David Mott while done that
• 59:25
  ends his season on six points on not bad okay, two points It goes
• 59:30
  to brock bottom Adam Moorehouse again with the two points. Well on Adam and
• 59:35
  Adam ends this season on nine points their fifth position. I believe fantastic.
• 59:40
  Three points goes too. You can't handle the truth. You gotta say it
• 59:45
  the right way. Though you can't handle the truth, say the right way
• 59:51
  weren't the right way? That's Clever Carle So he ends the season on twenty
• 59:58
  points, so outright second. So Philip J. Horgan's twenty eight points our
• 1:00:01
  winner once again, I think? Is that back to back? Is it
• 1:00:05
  the three pa? Maybe a three p' again? Who knows? You wins
• 1:00:07
  it every year? Clever Kyle in second position on twenty points and Luke McKay
• 1:00:13
  in third position on sixteen points. Congratulations to every one of those people,
• 1:00:17
  especially Phillip J. I. Thank you everyone who is entering, everyone who's
• 1:00:21
  entered yeah, we really appreciate it. We as you know, it's done
• 1:00:24
  blind, not looking at names, looking at new names. I gather up
• 1:00:29
  all the names and I send him to Guy and he just picks him out.
• 1:00:32
  I say, which one did Philip gen do put an asterisk next to
• 1:00:37
  it? I think you're really like this one. But yeah, So next
• 1:00:43
  week we'll be doing the wild card draw maybe whenever we do another. Are
• 1:00:45
  we gonna any season wrap up? We usually do, and we'll do the
• 1:00:51
  wild card draw there as well. So if your name has been read out
• 1:00:53
  at least once this season, your name will be potentially drawn out next week
• 1:00:57
  in the wild card draw for a bonus. Probably j Horgan's what again he
• 1:01:01
  won the world out of the ukins. Do we have any mail bag questions?
• 1:01:10
  That is? That is the question I did put up the Yeah you
• 1:01:15
  did. Yeah, I'm looking at it right here. All right, So
• 1:01:17
  here we go. Let's go to all comments as opposed to top first question.
• 1:01:22
  Oh it's Ben Lyons or Andrew JP. Be fuman about that one.
• 1:01:25
  He says, what's the worst person either of you have had to interview?
• 1:01:30
  There's a band from the UK, I believe called Maybe even in the States,
• 1:01:32
  called yuck. Right, I'm not sure they're in a band anymore,
• 1:01:36
  but I really liked them at the time. I like that I was sort
• 1:01:39
  of comparing early Pixies stuff like, I really really dug them. And I
• 1:01:44
  got the singer on the line and it was clear he was just drugged out
• 1:01:46
  of his mind and I'll be asking a question, and I remember I was
• 1:01:51
  really excited for it too, because I really liked their music and I had
• 1:01:52
  so many questions lined up just from a genuine fan perspective, and he's just
• 1:01:57
  going, yeah, I don't know, yeah, yeah. It was this
• 1:02:02
  for writing over the radio, and I could I can never use I've kept
• 1:02:06
  the audio, bu can never use it. I was just there there.
• 1:02:08
  It was literally asked his questions. He go uh huh, and that's it.
• 1:02:14
  Yeah, boy, I think the most of good Adam was maybe three
• 1:02:15
  or four words at a time. It was just it was fucking horrific.
• 1:02:19
  It was the original singer of the band yuck. So you've go into my
• 1:02:22
  day, sir, for shame. Yeah, So that was that was not
• 1:02:25
  fun. Worst person you've had to interview. I had a similar situation with
• 1:02:29
  an actor. I'm not sure if I should name them probably, I probably
• 1:02:31
  haven't set it was screen star Jamie Kennedy. You've actually mentioned this, but
• 1:02:37
  I don't think you mentioned his name untill now. On the end. Well,
• 1:02:42
  he was promoting some project and he was under the influence of something.
• 1:02:45
  Whether it was a substance or just bad vibes, I could not use it.
• 1:02:52
  He was as in like he was mean. No, he was incoherent.
• 1:02:54
  Yeah, yeah, when it came to unpleasant people that have been interviewed,
• 1:02:59
  and maybe these people were just having a bad day as well. The
• 1:03:01
  Australian singer songwriter Deborah Conway, she had the song It's Only the Beginning.
• 1:03:08
  She's been around for quite a while. I interviewed her once and she was
• 1:03:14
  just mean to me. Really, was she the one to at fourteen?
• 1:03:16
  Yes? Yeah, he said you want at fourteen once and she was a
• 1:03:19
  real cow. She was quite mean to me. Hey motherfucker, she wrote,
• 1:03:25
  Hey, motherfucker. Maybe the saddest was and this is a very deep
• 1:03:32
  cut Austraian music reference. There was a band in the eighties called Matt Finish
• 1:03:39
  and they had Matt Finish. Matt Finish. I forgot that the lead singer
• 1:03:45
  and frontman's name was Matt Something, but the band was called Matt Finish.
• 1:03:49
  They had an album and the title track of the album was called was a
• 1:03:53
  song called short Note, which I really loved. It was one of my
• 1:03:55
  favorite Australian songs in the eighties. And the time came when I go to
• 1:03:59
  any this guy and he was just prick. He was just in a really
• 1:04:02
  bad mood and took it out on me, and I'm like, man,
• 1:04:04
  man, fuck you. Well what you said? No, of course not,
• 1:04:11
  but I like to think that that was coming through and what I was
• 1:04:13
  saying. I told the Bob gel Loof story. I've told the Bob Girlof
• 1:04:15
  story so many times. I'm sure I have told the story. I can't
• 1:04:19
  remember what happens though. Well, basically, yes, I was interviewing Bob
• 1:04:23
  Geldoff for one of his solo albums, the solo album which no One gives
• 1:04:28
  a fuck about. No one gave a fuck, someone absolute gave a fuck
• 1:04:31
  because we did not get it at the at the office. It either came
• 1:04:35
  and was taken or it never arrived and is now in the in the before
• 1:04:41
  times, was like, I can't hear it streaming. No, I needed
• 1:04:45
  the actual hard copy, didn't get it. Did my research anyway, was
• 1:04:49
  really diligent about reading everything I could about it, reading other articles, and
• 1:04:56
  doing a lot of research about his other work and everything like that. So
• 1:04:58
  I went in with it. I thought it was pretty god sweet queer,
• 1:05:00
  but also it was a rookie. And I let him know, Bobby,
• 1:05:02
  you've clearly got a big fan at the fort outs, because look someone you
• 1:05:06
  told him that. I told him, no, we haven't got haven't a
• 1:05:11
  chance to listening to him. What the fuck are you doing? Then I
• 1:05:15
  also rattled that, Yeah, like, as I've said, I'm pretty sure
• 1:05:17
  I imitated imitated his accent to his face. You did, Oh yeah,
• 1:05:21
  I wouldn't. I mean not taking the pairs out of It's sort of like,
• 1:05:26
  oh, it's like the time when you did your sets, only like
• 1:05:28
  that. I think he probably looked at me like I was just were you
• 1:05:30
  doing it in person? Oh yeah, Oh, man's even worse. Oh
• 1:05:34
  no, it's like you look at it like I was like a trailed dog,
• 1:05:38
  shit in on my shoes or something. Tough times. Tough times for
• 1:05:43
  a rookie footage of this. Oh god, no, okay, man,
• 1:05:45
  I wish I was. You've only got my word for it. Would you
• 1:05:47
  ever be able to watch that again if there was footage? Oh no,
• 1:05:50
  no, but that didn't listen to it made him aware that you didn't listen
• 1:05:58
  to his music. Not by your choice obviously, but still you have listened
• 1:06:01
  to it and then you accident. Yep, yep, this is what happened.
• 1:06:10
  How did the interview end with getting out there as quickly as possible?
• 1:06:19
  What did you tell Forte h Q when you got back? I mean,
• 1:06:21
  I had stuff on the record, so I turned it into a story,
• 1:06:25
  and I think I probably was very self deprecating about and saying, you know,
• 1:06:30
  I never meet your heroes kids along those lines. That's great, all
• 1:06:36
  right. So that is the end of season eighteen. We've done it.
• 1:06:39
  We made it. No more questions. Oh no, there's more questions.
• 1:06:42
  Yeah, that was so much fun. It was well go out in the
• 1:06:46
  high note. JP would be fumtive. Now asked this question, So,
• 1:06:51
  JP, have you ever sworn in public when you didn't mean to? Oh?
• 1:06:55
  I always mean to the nice guys. I've seen that one with the
• 1:07:01
  Ling and Russell. We mentioned it on the podcast. You know, Golden
• 1:07:08
  is trying to wrangle these all these kids at his teenage daughter's birthday party and
• 1:07:13
  Jesus Christ, one of the girls you took the lord's name and you know,
• 1:07:16
  took the lord's name in vain and said wasn't invained at all. I
• 1:07:18
  meant every word said, but one time I mentioned the podcast where I was
• 1:07:24
  called Nikola, So don't be a wanker. We're playing cards with their family
• 1:07:27
  in the UK, and that was a big no no, the first of
• 1:07:29
  one I met a family in Wayanker not a good word in the UK.
• 1:07:31
  So I get the feeling I may have dropped the sea bomb speaking to my
• 1:07:35
  dad once, but saying I said it so quickly that it could easily been
• 1:07:41
  mistaken for something else. All but Bobby's like a mulligan, like the one
• 1:07:45
  through. Yeah, that's the whole past. Yes, Sam, Pappas Papas
• 1:07:49
  Papas. I've seen The Simpsons and a few of the series so many times,
• 1:07:54
  and I know the gestures and the character's lines before the character does it
• 1:07:57
  or says it. Is there a TV series that you've seen so that you
• 1:08:00
  already know the joke punchline? Yeah, I'm like that, I guess with
• 1:08:03
  I want to say Nickol like the Friends, I'm like that was Seinfeld.
• 1:08:08
  I guess now I would certainly, maybe not necessarily the entire run of the
• 1:08:13
  series, but like particular episodes that oh yeah, absolutely yeah. I mean
• 1:08:15
  we talk about it all the time when we talk about certain episodes of the
• 1:08:18
  sense, Oh this line is from that, and certainly from South Park as
• 1:08:20
  well. Yeah, yeah, south Park's a big one, yeah, Tilli
• 1:08:24
  Enriquez. Out of the various smart line appearances from The Simpsons, what is
• 1:08:27
  the most annoying and best in your opinion? Were the best one by far
• 1:08:30
  is when the cat Burglar calls up? Do you know who? This is
• 1:08:39
  the worst one. We would have to be this one, right according to
• 1:08:42
  Dan though, absolutely what's the one where he says we'll be right back?
• 1:08:45
  Is that that one? So he says that at the end of the Trios
• 1:08:50
  of Horror six, where the attack of the fifty for Iyesaws destroy the house
• 1:08:56
  and everything kept Brock was doing, lock up your doors whatever, and then
• 1:09:00
  that's when hom goes, we'll be right back at the that's my life.
• 1:09:01
  I don't I think this must he must do it twice, because he doesn't
• 1:09:05
  say at the end there, but I think he might say in the one
• 1:09:09
  where the Christmas tree gets burned down. Okay, we does say that's my
• 1:09:13
  line in one of the I just yeah, love Homer journal We'll be right
• 1:09:15
  bad. But he might do it in that vigil Anti episode as well.
• 1:09:18
  I don't know, Harrison mcclu A final question here, are there any noteworthy
• 1:09:23
  reporters or journalists that you admire? There you go, that's one for you.
• 1:09:27
  Oh gosh, well with me. See, with news reporters, there's
• 1:09:30
  the familiar faces that just make it feel like it's comforting, you know,
• 1:09:35
  like Peter Hitchner. Yeah, I've always grown up with Peter Hitcher. He's
• 1:09:39
  like he's the voice of the news. Yeah. I think there are certain
• 1:09:41
  people, particularly when you're young, but just have the air of authority.
• 1:09:46
  I'm sure. I've said in the past that Channel nine used to have a
• 1:09:48
  guy named Brian Naylor who was the news reader, and they pitched their whole
• 1:09:53
  campaign that jingle Yeah I know everything I need to know because Brian told me
• 1:09:59
  so. It's like, oh, yeah, you can trust bright now.
• 1:10:00
  Wasn't he like that? Men want to be him, want to be with
• 1:10:02
  him kind of guy? A bit like that. He was one of those
• 1:10:04
  guys who'd been around forever. So he was probably a good looking roost when
• 1:10:09
  he was a young man and then just aged into like, oh like he
• 1:10:12
  can trust he can put shells on the wall. That's correct. Yeah,
• 1:10:15
  sad, I think he might have died in a Boh that's tragic. Yeah,
• 1:10:17
  that is set. Just confirm that that is that he's still alive and
• 1:10:23
  Kingan. I think he died in in a fire. Brian Naylor. Okay,
• 1:10:29
  here we go, says was so he has passed away. Let's go
• 1:10:34
  to the old Wikipedia down the bottom. His son Matthew, was killed in
• 1:10:39
  a plane crash at king Leaf, Victoria in age forty one. Less than
• 1:10:43
  a year later, in two thousand and nine, our and his wife were
• 1:10:45
  killed as one of the Black Saturday bushfires destroy their property. Jesus, why
• 1:10:50
  do you bring that up? Sorry man, Let me talking about other journalists
• 1:10:54
  that ill him were also dead but rest in peace. Brian Naylor, Oh
• 1:10:58
  yeah, absolutely no. Pivotal part of my childhood. I think I had
• 1:11:01
  my political reporters. Well they always seem to have a really like real gravitas.
• 1:11:05
  Ray Martin was for me when I was a kid. I got my
• 1:11:08
  can I tell my Ray Martin story. It's not really much of a story,
• 1:11:11
  that's and the show Let's Go. Ray Martin was always well. He
• 1:11:15
  also hosted that show a Current Affair that I mentioned earlier, and that's what
• 1:11:19
  I know him from. Yeah, and it seemed like, oh, you
• 1:11:21
  were a legit journalist some stage and now you're just a you're doing a Brockman.
• 1:11:27
  Yeah. I think he was hosting like an afternoon chat show and all
• 1:11:30
  that kind of thing. Simply a guy that wouldn't funk about though, Like
• 1:11:31
  he knows his ship and if you try and challenge him, he'll he'll break
• 1:11:35
  you down, that's the thing. But he had a very kind of nice,
• 1:11:39
  nice guy to meet. Yeah, I was on a work assignment that
• 1:11:45
  took me to Ula Root Airs Rock it was and Ray mart was hosting the
• 1:11:49
  show called This is Your Wife. He probably did that at some stage as
• 1:11:55
  well. Mike Munroe. This was a show where they took it was for
• 1:11:58
  SBS and they took a bunch of of white celebrities and sort of semi high
• 1:12:04
  profile people around Indigenous Australia and sort of showed what was going on Indigenous Australia
• 1:12:10
  and it started it all a room and Ray was the host and we went
• 1:12:13
  out before we sort of had the big media there. The next day we
• 1:12:15
  went out for dinner and he was telling all these stories about when he was
• 1:12:18
  like a young journal in New York and he was hanging out with the fucking
• 1:12:21
  Black Panthers, all this really great stuff, and he was just an incredible
• 1:12:28
  rack on tour. But also, yeah, I'd clearly done a lot of

• 1:13:02
  audio elite of her. Yeah, I remember when I was a kid out

  a massive crush on her. She was so hot, but she was tough
• 1:13:10
  as nails, as well, yeah, oh, you wouldn't want to messed
• 1:13:13
  with her. No, not at all anyway, showing news reporters. That
• 1:13:15
  is our review. By the way, guys, oh, if you can't
• 1:13:17
  always say what you want. That's the end of season eighteen. We finally
• 1:13:20
  made it all the way through. So I can't believe we've got through eight
• 1:13:23
  Well, I've been here eighteen seasons of the show now, A lot of
• 1:13:25
  strange trip it's been. You know, it's one month away now from the
• 1:13:29
  nine year anniversary of this show starting, and eighteen seasons have gone through.
• 1:13:31
  We've done it, guys, Thanks for joining us on this journey. We're
• 1:13:33
  gonna keep going. We are going to keep going. We've already reviewed the
• 1:13:36
  Simpsons movie, so not gonna be doing that. But if you do want
• 1:13:39
  to hear a review of the Simpsons movie, maybe you can be a commentary
• 1:13:41
  I can't quite remember it comment one of the two. You can find it
• 1:13:44
  on our Patreon for I think two dollars. It's available two dollars. Yeah,
• 1:13:46
  well that's a bargain twice the price, exactly right. So if you
• 1:13:49
  want to hear our thoughts on the Simpsons movie, you can check it out
• 1:13:53
  on our Patreon support the show and help keep the lights on the next episode,
• 1:13:56
  what will be the first episode of Simpsons season eighteen. Let's have a
• 1:13:59
  look Simpsons Sea nineteen. I should say season nineteen kicks off with scroll to
• 1:14:03
  the bottom here. How many episodes in the seasons of twenty two? There
• 1:14:08
  is only twenty in this season apparently, Well, this season has that ninety
• 1:14:12
  show, a very divisive episode that our man Matt Salmon, friend of the
• 1:14:15
  pod, wrote the episode people don't like it. I remember enjoying it.
• 1:14:18
  But the first episode is called he Loves to Fly and he does. After
• 1:14:21
  a trip on mister Burns's private plane, Homer enlists the aid of a life
• 1:14:26
  coach guest's voice Stephen Colbert to help him find a job that allows him to
• 1:14:30
  use a corporate jet. Okay, episode one of season nineteen. That sounds
• 1:14:34
  like a very thin premise to an episode, but we'll see, we shall
• 1:14:39
  see. Indeed, the movie is finished by this point, so hopefully they've
• 1:14:42
  got more time to focus on actual storytelling and ganinny of the episodes. But
• 1:14:45
  overall, though, just a little bit of tease for the next you know,
• 1:14:47
  the end of season wrap up. I don't think season eighteen was as
• 1:14:50
  bad as I was expecting. I'm gonna be honest. It had some stinkers,
• 1:14:54
  but it wasn't overall I was expecting the dirt worst. It wasn't that
• 1:15:00
  bad. Many people are saying this, and you have said this frequently throughout
• 1:15:02
  the course of us reviewing this season. Better than I expected. It is.
• 1:15:09
  People seem to have a lot of bad memories of this season, which
• 1:15:13
  is like, remember the first episode with the Muk, the chef and the
• 1:15:15
  wife from the Homer where he becomes the friend of the fat Tony his son.
• 1:15:18
  That was a good episode. Jays in the Pusscats, that was another
• 1:15:20
  good episode, the margin having doing the carpentry. I enjoyed that episode.
• 1:15:25
  So there's good episodes in there, and we will get through our top five
• 1:15:29
